The water of Huai River washes out stone Di, in other park can hear river water to flow the sound distantly. 淮河之水冲刷石堤,别苑内遥遥可以听见河水流淌声。 The lantern sways under the upturned eave with the wind, the bright moonlight falls in the window, on the oil lamp with desk fuses together. 灯笼在飞檐下随风摇晃,皎洁月光落在窗户里,和书桌上的油灯融为一体。 Xiao Qi secure sits in meditation after the desk, in the hand takes the marriage certificate that was just delivering, in the double pupil brings several points of disturbed, after looking at several, then put down, in an instant looked at to out of the window rivers under length and breadth field and moonlight. 萧绮安静坐在书桌后,手中拿着刚刚送过来的婚书,双眸中带着几分心绪不宁,看了几眼后便放下了,转眼望向了窗外的广袤田野和月色下的河流。 As before is a black long skirt, the powder, the long hair throws over naturally is conducting the back, does not make the appearance of marrying young lady. The look and Xiao Xiang'er are exactly the same, the same national beauty beautiful woman, Xiao Qi actually Xiang'er such colorful pressure beautiful and fragrant flowers, what replaces it is did not completely understand that all serene, the long time occupied the high-rank the air/Qi field to press the appearance, making one not dare to focus on certainly on to improve one's appearance Yan Zhi. 依旧是一袭黑色长裙,不着脂粉,长发自然而然披在背上,做未出阁小姐的打扮。相貌和萧湘儿一模一样,同样的国色倾城,萧绮却不似湘儿那样艳压群芳,取而代之的是看透所有的风轻云淡,久居上位的气场压过了容貌,让人根本不敢把心思放在绝美容颜之上。 Possibly to Xiao Qi, having this leather bag difference is not big, she does not depend on the appearance to obtain others' respect since childhood, so long as brain not silly, even if she is long is like out of the door tall Lan Hua, the man in the world does not dare to raise the head before her in the same old way. 可能对萧绮来说,有没有这幅皮囊区别都不大,她从小就不靠容貌来取得别人的尊重,只要脑子没傻,她哪怕长得和门外五大三粗的兰花一样,世上的男人照样不敢在她面前抬头。 But the appearance is inborn, is not elects. She on is long the causing the downfall of the nation beautiful woman, but also with the younger sister is the twin, is much longer. Then that younger sister who remains a widow in the palace, but also had a boyfriend bold, that boyfriend is Vassal King Heir Apparent that she could not process, but also mistake arising out of chance circumstances regarded the younger sister to rest her...... 可容貌是天生的,不是自己选的。她偏偏就长得倾国倾城,还和妹妹是双胞胎,长得一模一样。然后那个在宫里守寡的妹妹,还胆大包天的有了个情郎,那个情郎还是个她处理不了的藩王世子,还阴差阳错的把她当成了妹妹睡了…… Thinks that these at sixes and sevens, in the Xiao Qi pupil then the rare appearance several points of annoyed, stood up in the garret paces, was pondering how should solve the current situation. 想到这些乱七八糟的,萧绮眸子里便少有的出现了几分恼火,站起身来在阁楼里踱步,思考着该怎么解决目前的处境。 Xu Buling that is not concerned about face, really sought a marriage alliance to Xiao Family, the marriage certificate was placed on the table. 许不令那个不要脸的,真的到了萧家求亲,婚书都摆在桌子上了。 If only the mistake arising out of chance circumstances admitting mistakes person, when she does not know, nothing happened crosses. But Xu Buling obviously recognized, knew passed an absurd night person in the imperial palace is she. Now runs over to seek a marriage alliance, obviously wants to make up for that mistake arising out of chance circumstances. 若只是阴差阳错认错人也罢,她就当不知道,什么都没发生过。可许不令明显认出来了,知道在皇宫里度过一个荒唐夜晚的人是她。现在跑过来求亲,明显是想弥补那次阴差阳错。 Did not discuss that this relations, Xiao Qi and Xu Buling and have no human relations, collapsing of Locking Dragon Gu, making her not regard with a special fondness about Xu Buling false, but has not been in the situation of this reason sincerely pledging yourself. 不谈这层关系,萧绮和许不令并没有什么交际,锁龙蛊的破局,让她对许不令另眼相看不假,但还没有到为此倾心以身相许的地步。 according to aristocratic family marries, Xiao Family and Xu Family eight bamboo poles cannot hit all over the country, each other marries to the descendant possibly is good, but to current situation not slightly use. 按照世家联姻来看,萧家和许家天南海北八竿子打不着,彼此联姻对后代可能有好处,但对当前局势没有丝毫用处。 If she married Suzhou, the Xiao Family head of household must change players, Xiao Chuyang entered the palace for not to have the energy to manage the family affairs again, remaining entitled then only then first wife's eldest son desolate Li and closely related second son Xiao Ting. 她要是嫁去了肃州,萧家的家主就得换人,萧楚杨入朝为相没精力再管家事,剩下有资格的便只有嫡长子萧离和嫡次子萧庭。 desolate Li saves the personal history and reputation for the officer outside, to take over the Xiao Chuyang duty prepares. 萧离在外为官积攒履历和官声,是为接萧楚杨的班做准备。 A towards prime minister hundred officer's heads, the major powerful families is staring, Huainan Xiao Clan not possible easily to give others this position. 一朝宰相百官之首,各大门阀都在盯着,淮南萧氏不可能把这个的位置轻易让给别人。 If called the Family Head lord various aspect very outstanding desolate Li, that future can strive for the prime minister position only had Xiao Ting. 若是把各方面都很优秀的萧离叫回来当家主,那未来能争取宰相位置的就只有萧庭了。 Xiao Ting is the prime minister...... 萧庭当宰相…… Vast Great Yue, third perishes...... 泱泱大玥,三世而亡…… Since successive dynasties, deceitfully, power, common innumerable, must say stupid, unique no other his case...... 历朝以来,奸相、权相、庸相数不胜数,要说蠢相,独此一家别无他例…… Read and here, Xiao Qi is afraid, definitely cannot make Xiao Ting be the prime minister, that can only let the Xiao Ting Family Head lord. 念及此处,萧绮不寒而栗,肯定不能让萧庭当宰相,那就只能让萧庭当家主。 Huainan Xiao Clan helmsman Xiao Ting...... 淮南萧氏掌舵人萧庭…… Stretches across three dynasties, the millennium incense and candles, perish unexpectedly a person of hand...... 横跨三朝,千年香火,竟亡一人之手…… „Oh......” “唉……” On Xiao Qi face rare revealed the powerless feeling, sat after the desk, in a dilemma. 萧绮脸上少有的露出了无力感,重新坐在了书桌后,左右为难。 Properly speaking can resist seeking a marriage alliance of Xu Family, but the matter is not such simple. 按理说可以拒了许家的求亲,可事情也不是这么简单。 Complies with seeking a marriage alliance to be no good, but resisted seeking a marriage alliance of Xu Buling, offends King Su inevitably. Splits with military power heaviest Vassal King is not the good deed, if the Xu Family convulsion rebellion really hits land under heaven, Xiao Family may degenerate into second-class aristocratic family thoroughly, missed with the deliberation hall. 答应求亲没什么好处,但拒了许不令的求亲,必然得罪肃王。和兵权最重的藩王交恶可不是好事,万一许家抽风造反真把天下打下来,萧家可就彻底沦为二流世家,与朝堂无缘了。 Furthermore the Xiao Family head of household this/should man succeeded, her woman dies to occupy the position not to gather the etiquette. Now can restrain by force by the wrist/skill, waited for Xiao Ting to the 30 year-old, various Xiao Family clansmen definitely to have the opinion, Xiao Ting also had the disaffection understandingly. Now two Uncle room/house Xiao Mo urges her to comply with the wedding, was considering for this reason. 再者萧家家主本就该男子继任,她一个女人死占着位置不合礼法。现在可以凭借手腕强压着,等萧庭到了而立之年,萧家各房的族人肯定有意见,萧庭也会心有不满。现在二房叔伯萧墨劝她答应婚事,也是在为此考虑。 Xiao Qi for Xiao Family, naturally does not cling to head of household's power wholeheartedly, but is worried about own stupid nephew the non- coordinate. Did not say the breath, if Xiao Ting were slightly normal, she so will not be puzzled...... 萧绮一心为了萧家,自然不贪恋家主的权力,只是担心自己的蠢侄子才不配位。不说出息,若是萧庭稍微正常点,她都不会这么纠结…… Thought deeply about the moment, Xiao Qi looked that to put the bamboo nature water-clock in room, is calculating the time was up, the complexion restored as usual, by the large round-backed wooden armchair, said in a soft voice: 思索了片刻,萧绮看向了摆在房间里的竹质水钟,算着时间差不多了,脸色恢复如常,靠在了太师椅上,轻声道: „Outside Lan Hua, you lead the guard to go to wait.” “兰花,你带着护卫去外面等着。” „Yes.” “是。” Defends in maidservant Lan Hua of retainer, vanished in the garret quickly, brought to conceal in all around guard had/left other park. 守在门客的丫鬟兰花,很快消失在了阁楼中,带着暗藏在四周的护卫出了别苑。 The Xiao Qi returning to normal mood, the marriage certificate hides , in box that puts the dossier, takes out one volume of books to glance through, peaceful waiting...... 萧绮平复情绪,把婚书藏在了盛放卷宗的箱子里,取出一卷书籍翻阅,安静等待…… Other park is quiet and beautiful, quiet silent. 别苑清幽,寂寂无声。 Xu Buling hugged Xiao Xiang'er to fall in the corridor, about looked at two, unexpectedly no guard. 许不令搂着萧湘儿落在了廊道里,左右看了两眼,竟然没有一个护卫。 Xiao Xiang'er had just now seen elder sister's silhouette from the window, on the face is embarrassed and anxious, finger sets upright in the lip hints Xu Buling not to make noise, then wants to walk toward the staircase, obviously wants to escape next time again. 萧湘儿方才已经从窗口看到了姐姐的侧影,脸上即窘迫又紧张,手指竖在唇边示意许不令别出声,然后想往楼梯走,显然是想逃跑下次再来。 Xu Buling blocks Xiang'er, lifted the hand to knock knocking in the gate directly. 许不令拦住湘儿,抬手直接在门上敲了敲。 Thump thump 咚咚 „Heir Apparent Xu, comes.” “许世子,进来吧。” In the room spread the light response quickly, including sound it's all the same. 房间里很快传出了平淡回应,连声音都差不多。 Xiao Xiang'er quickly grasped the meaning of something, stands rigidly same place in does not dare to move. 萧湘儿一个激灵,僵立在原地不敢动了。 Xu Buling somewhat is also accidental, but thinks also to feel relaxed, it is estimated that Xiao Qi guessed correctly that he will visit to the evening, immediately has not hesitated, lifts the hand to shove open the door. 许不令也有些意外,不过想想也释然了,估计萧绮猜到他晚上会登门,当下也没有迟疑,抬手推开了房门。 The study room environment in garret is simple and elegant, inside except for the writing-set and dossier, then only has a tea sea. 阁楼上的书房环境清雅,里面除了文房四宝和卷宗,便只剩下一个茶海。 Xiao Qi straight sitting after the spacious desk, the eyebrow has not even lifted, has not shown what shy or startled look. 萧绮端端正正的坐在宽大书桌后,连眉毛都没抬,也没露出什么害羞或者惊慌的神色。 Xu Buling a little admires the Eldest Young Lady Xiao strength in meditation, enters in the study room with a smile, lifted the hand good a ritual: 许不令有点佩服萧大小姐的定力,含笑走进书房之中,抬手行了一礼: „Young lady, fortunate meeting!” “大小姐,幸会！” Xiao Qi lifts the view, hints tea sea nearby stool tranquilly, the complexion does not have any revealed that the mood the expression, said in a soft voice: 萧绮抬起眼帘,示意茶海旁边的凳子,脸色平静没有任何显露情绪的表情,轻声道: „Heir Apparent Xu sits.” “许世子坐吧。” Xu Buling nods, confidently under the tea sea is implicated, in an instant looks to the entrance, Xiang'er has not come , can only see the shadow of door place. He has looked back to Xiao Qi, wanting the smalltalk to say several, Xiao Qi truly looked to the books on hand, simply has not responded his meaning , can only make the tea. 许不令点了点头,坦然在茶海旁坐下,转眼看向门口,湘儿并没有进来,只能看到房门处的影子。他回过头来看向萧绮,想要客套说几句,萧绮确实重新看向了手上的书本,根本没有搭理他的意思,也只能自顾自的泡起了茶。 In the study room is peaceful, the atmosphere is a little strange. 书房里安静下来,气氛有点诡异。 Xiao Qi by peaceful waiting on large round-backed wooden armchair, does not worry. 萧绮靠在太师椅上安静等待,也不着急。 Passed the moment, Xiao Xiang'er really could not bear, dilly-dallied one to tread on into the study room, looked at one secretly, lowers the head hastily: „Elder sister.” 过了片刻,萧湘儿实在忍不住了,磨磨蹭蹭一只脚踏入了书房里,偷偷瞄了一眼,又连忙低下头:“姐。” Xiao Qi makes the surprised look at this time, stands up fiercely: 萧绮此时才做出惊讶神色,猛站起身来: „Xiang'er?! Haven't you died?” “湘儿？！你没死？” „......” “……” Xu Buling sees that somewhat reluctantly, understands that matter that meaning of Xiao Qi two people do not let Xiang'er know...... 许不令见状有些无奈,也明白萧绮的意思了两人的事儿别让湘儿知道……
