Two years later

A black-peng carriage was galloping on the road, but when the horse neighed, it shook the carriage. The driver waved the horse whip and scolded, "Where did the blind man come from? He walked well and suddenly rolled down my wheels? What are you trying to blackmail? It's not easy to see whose car this is. Can you provoke me?"

The other party was still lying on the ground, not retorting, but just raised his arms slightly, as if he wanted to block the dazzling sunlight above his head.

The coachman kept scolding, "Why are you still not leaving? Get up quickly, otherwise you will be able to trample on you to death!"

Passers-by stopped and pointed at the fierce coachman.

The curtain of the car suddenly opened, a pretty face poked out, holding an inch of silver in his hand, and said, "I'll give you the silver, get it away quickly if I collect it, don't waste our time!"

Then the other party stood up shakingly, slightly raised his jaw, revealing an extremely handsome face, with slender sword eyebrows flying into his temples, narrow phoenix eyes slightly raised, and dark and deep pupils captivate the soul, and his flawless face was peerless. He bent down and bowed, and said warmly, "This girl is not a blackmail..."

The little girl couldn't help but stutter, interrupting him stutteringly, "No, it's not blackmail, is it not a blackmail, is it a search for death? Is there anything so unthinkable? Take the money to get through this hurdle, right?" This time, the slightly gentle and pity-loving tone was completely different from the meanness before.

The young man waved his hands repeatedly, and was about to explain, but he saw another head poking out of the window, which was a more refined and perfect face than the young man. His white skin seemed transparent under the sunlight, his eyes were big and round, filled with countless aura and brightness. When his pink little mouth was pouted, he was full of impatientness, "What are you talking about so much nonsense? Don't be afraid of death, are you still afraid of living? Take it!"

She raised her hand and threw a larger silver ingot on the young man's face. The young man whispered in pain, and a big bag quickly bulged his forehead.

Her little girl covered her face with her hands, feeling quite embarrassed.

"This lady, I can't accept your money. I'm not seeking death, but..." The young man picked up the money and handed it back, but saw the girl slightly raised her chin, with an arrogant tone, "It's obvious that she is seeking death but has no shame to admit it. She is really cowardly! If you live with the determination to die, how can you not live like a person? Get the money and get out of here. When it's going to be prosperous in the future, you can also smash it back on my face as usual, and see if you have the ability."

She put down the curtain of the car, covered the bright and beautiful face, and said, "Why are you still standing there? Let's go quickly."

The coachman quickly agreed and drove the carriage slowly.

The young man stared at the carriage that disappeared around the corner, with a laugh and crying expression. He was clearly a good girl with a soft heart, and he insisted on hiding his kindness under sharp and mean words. Shi En was so domineering. If he had a brain that was not active, he might have held a grudge against her.

This temperament is really awkward, but it is also awkward and cute.

The young man walked to the street step by step and found a clean place to sit down. He was not a blackmail or seeking death. However, he was just a disease caused by the suffering of his early years. As long as he got up violently or had not eaten for a long time, he would be dizzy, weak hands and feet, and accidentally fell in front of the car. The master and servant always didn't listen to him finishing his words, and didn't know how to guess his "tragic and lamentable" life experience.

The young man looked down and realized that he had dirty his clothes due to falling, and there was a big hole on his hem. It looked really depressed.

No wonder, he shook his head and smiled, "Let me smash the silver on your face, and at least leave a name for me." Suddenly, he remembered that there was no girl who signed up for herself when she first met. The other party did not seek his reward at all, but gave him a thought to live, even if the thought was malicious.

He felt more and more awkward and cute as the girl couldn't say. The young man stood up, walked to the grocery store opposite, and asked, "Shopkeeper, who owns the carriage just now?"

"You see a running wolf painted on the carriage? That's the Yu family emblem."

The young man's eyes flashed slightly and he continued to ask, "But that Yu family?"

The shop nodded, "Except for the Yongle Marquis Mansion, who is so cunning, and even ten taels of silver is smashed on people's heads, so you won't be afraid of throwing it out. I heard that his lady is a sarcastic lady, and she will use a whip to whip people when she doesn't say anything. No one in the Beijing lady dares to provoke her, let alone her brother, who is a commander in the capital and a general of the cavalry, is so powerful that the lady who was sucked to come to her to make a decision and almost cut off her head."

After saying that, the store owner shook his head repeatedly, his eyes showing horror.

The young man whispered thanks and bought another bag of rice cake to sit at the door to eat, his expression a little dazed. Unexpectedly, the girl was his real sister. All the tricky and toxic hearts were slandering, but it was just a sharp shell to protect himself. He was useless at the age of ten and ruined half of his life. How could he survive if he was not strong?

Thinking of this, the young man lost his appetite and threw the rice cake to the little beggar who had been waiting for a long time, leaving with heavy steps.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yongle Hou Mansion, the main courtyard.

The old lady was talking to a gorgeously dressed woman, and turned around from time to time to ask Mama, "When will the lady come back?"

"It's already this time, I think it will be here soon." Ma Ma walked outside the door and looked at the sky.

The old lady held the woman's hand that was well maintained and said with a smile, "I'm going to tell you that the affairs in the mansion are now handed over to my granddaughter for handling. I have been ungrateful for two or three years. You came in a hurry this time and had no preparations for food, clothing, housing and transportation. Before my granddaughter came back, I'll be blinded at this moment! I'm old and useless!"

The woman smiled with her lips pursed, "What did the old lady say? You have such a capable granddaughter, and I don't know how many lifetimes you have cultivated. Look at you, your hair is growing on your temples, and you look ten years younger than my mother. If she kisses her, she might be envious!"

The old lady was so angry that she was coaxed by the woman and asked her about her current situation. The two were chatting and laughing. Yu Xiang came in from outside. The sound of the wheelchair turning caused the old lady to look and said with a smile, "Why don't you say Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here. Xianger, come and pay homage to your Aunt Pei. Her mother is my good sister before I got married."

The woman looked a little surprised when she saw Yu Xiang's legs hidden under the blanket. She originally thought that the well-behaved and capable granddaughter in the old lady was referring to Yu Siyu, the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, but she did not expect that Yu Xiang had broken his legs and was not good at walking.

The story of Yu Xiang's sacrifice of saving his brother is well known to everyone, but it cannot save her reputation as a more perverse and tricky person. This sentence from the heart is obviously not applicable to the girl in front of her. She is very delicate and looks a little brighter than the golden sunshine outside the courtyard, especially her round and big eyes, black and clear. When she sees it, she seems to have countless small hooks pierced into your heart.

Although he was only fourteen years old, he was very tall and his figure was slender. He lost his legs at the age of ten and became a useless person, but there was no trace of depressedness or inferiority on his face. As soon as he entered the hall, he opened his mouth and called him sweetly, which was really pleasing. It was not as unbearable as the rumors.

This appearance and demeanor were completely contrary to the woman's imagination. She was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses, holding the girl's white wrist, and sighed, "Is this Xiang'er? I haven't seen her so old for a long time. When you were just the moon, your aunt hugged you, just a little bit." She raised her hand and gestured.

Yu Xiang covered his mouth and chuckled. The black and white cat's eyes were covered with fine and dazzling sunlight, which made the woman dizzy. She sighed in her heart: Such a peerless posture is not bad compared to Concubine Min, who was the most beautiful in the capital back then. It's a pity that these legs...

The old lady also smiled, raised her hand to touch her granddaughter's bun, and said softly, "Your aunt is here to accompany your cousin to Beijing for the exam. A month ago, your cousin entered the top ten of the exams, and only waited for one month to take the palace exam. Because a nest of termites was found in the courtyard where she rented, it was really not safe, so I borrowed my family to stay for a while."

"Then the relationship is good. Maybe a month later, the yamen runner of the Ministry of Rites will pick up a top scholar from our family! We just happened to be happy."

Yu Xiang made Aunt Pei laugh at her words and repeatedly said that she was a spiritual person.

Yu Xiang quipped a few words and said seriously, "Since I was preparing for the exam, I asked someone to clean up the Diecue Garden in the east. Although it was remote, the environment was very quiet, which was suitable for my cousin's study. If my aunt was worried, she would go over and take a look. I would let them do what was missing immediately. You are tired of boats and rides, and you should have food arranged for food. You should rest quickly." After the words, they ordered people to clean the yard and buy a banquet.

The old lady squinted her eyes and tilted her to drink tea on the couch, her posture was very leisurely.

Pei originally thought that the old lady was boasting that a lame man could do anything, but he did not expect that Yu Xiang would handle everything in a comprehensive manner, and he spoke very funnyly, which was no different from the ladies with strong hands and feet.

She was secretly shocked and asked while Yu Xiang was returning to the house to change his clothes, "Old lady, don't you have a granddaughter? Call me out and let me meet you? I'll have to live for another month, so I'll make me recognize my face."

Speaking of Mrs. Yu Siyu, she was a little uncomfortable. She glanced at Pei and was quite suspicious, "You are so anxious to see my granddaughter, but for the sake of..."

Pei nodded without any concealment, "Old lady, look, Zhichen is in his prime this year, and it's time to get engaged. You and my mother are in the same sympathy as sisters. If you become a love affair with my husband's family, wouldn't it be another good thing?"

Pei's husband was Si Yuntong, a salt transportation envoy. Although he was only a fourth-rank and a foreign official, he was in charge of the world's salt administration. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is rich. If Yu Siyu married, he would have endless wealth and wealth, and was rich and well-behaved. As her grandmother, she was naturally happy. But when she thought of the emperor's recent actions of strictly investigating the national tax and treasury silver, the old lady began to hesitate again. Si Yuntong, a salt transportation envoy, was responsible for supervising the major salt farms. The people sitting in this position would definitely not be clean, so she should not bring disaster to Yan'er. What kind of marriage should they get? Just leave the relationship immediately after they finish the exam.

The old lady thought about it and felt it was not easy to refute Pei in person. She waved her hand and asked someone to call Yu Siyu, and had another idea in her mind.
