The God of Luo immediately looked at his mother.

Xiao Yongjia turned his face and said lightly: "You just go and welcome."

Luo Shenzhi couldn't come, let alone, expecting his mother to go out to greet his father like himself at this time, which was impossible. He nodded: "Mother is resting, I'll go to welcome Aye."

Gao Qiao entered the back hall and saw his daughter facing him from afar. He immediately smiled and walked inside quickly.

When the family met, they were extremely happy. Because they were a little too late, after saying a few words, Gao Qiao urged Luo Shen to go back to his room to rest.

"Aye, you have lost a lot of weight in just a few months. You should be tired today and go to bed earlier. My mother hasn't slept yet, so she's in the house."

Before leaving, Luo Shen turned around and said to his father.

Gao Qiao smiled and nodded, and watched Aju gradually leave with his daughter's figure. His expression became solemn, and he ordered his servants everywhere to disperse.

A servant had prepared a bath. After taking a shower, Gao Qiao put on a white shirt that he often wore at home and went to the bedroom with great thoughts.

The door was covered with candlelight.

Gao Qiao pushed the door and saw Xiao Yongjia leaning against the door, sitting obliquely in front of a thin and soft brocade hidden bag on the couch on the side of the house. He held a roll in one hand, wearing a light snow-colored green skirt with his waistband, and his black hair fell like a cloud behind his head. The skirt covered his knees, and half of his toes were exposed under the skirt were covered with snow-white soles with bright red cherry pills. From behind, he looked graceful, like a 28-year-old girl.

She was facing a silver lamp standing up at the foot of the couch, as if she was reading a book intently. Even when she came in, she seemed to have not heard it, so she took a lighter pace and headed towards the inner room.

When she walked to her side, the light shadow moved.

Gao Qiao stopped.

"Mrs. Lu sent someone yesterday. After two days, she came here to discuss the marriage between her children."

Xiao Yongjia spoke coldly, and his eyes still fell on the books.

"You can just do it."

Gao Qiao responded and continued to walk in. After walking a few steps, hesitated, hesitated, and finally said, "It's getting late, so I'll take a closer look, go and rest."

Xiao Yongjia murmured lightly, threw the book on the couch, stepped down on the couch barefoot, slapped the purple silk-faced embroidered shoes that were taken off the ground, turned around and headed towards the inner room, walked past Gao Qiao, stopped, and glanced at the clothes on his body.

"How many years have you worn this dress? Could it be the one I cut with Zile two years ago?" Her tone was a little disgusted.

"I'm used to wearing it, and I'm fine with clothes, but I haven't sewed it."

Gao Qiao touched his collar and said vaguely.

Xiao Yongjia once again gave a glimpse of disgust, stopped talking, turned around and walked past him.

Gao Qiao came back, silently bent down and picked up the book she had just left, closed it, put it back on a small table placed in front of the bed, and then entered.

The couple turned off the lights and went to bed, each of which was a blanket.

Xiao Yongjia's back was inward, motionless, as if he had fallen asleep quickly.

Gao Qiao was lying on his back on his pillow, but how could he sleep tonight? He was thinking about what happened during the day. After tossing and turning for a while, his mood was a little confused. He was afraid of waking up the people around him, so he slowly sat up without lighting the light. With the shadow of moonlight penetrated into the window, he gently got out of the bed, bent down, and was touching his shoes, but with a sudden sound behind him, Xiao Yongjia sat up suddenly.

"Gao Qiao! Come in and I will talk to you, and you will ignore it! At this moment, you tossed and turned around in the middle of the night, looking like you were wronged. You are going out now. Why do you mean?"

"Do you think I am here and disturbing your tranquility? If so, you should tell me as soon as possible to save you from being so uncomfortable. I don't need you to hurry up, and I will go back to Bailuzhou immediately!"

Gao Qiao was not wary of her and was still awake. When she saw her suddenly furious, she hurriedly said, "A Ling, you misunderstood. I'll sleep now." As she said that, she lifted the quilt again and pretended to lie back.

"Jiangbei wins a battle, and her daughter's happy events are all good things, but you look unhappy. What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing happened. I'm asleep." Gao Qiao made excuse.

Xiao Yongjia sneered: "Forget it, why are you pretending to be me? You don't know? I know you don't want to see me in front of you for a moment! If it weren't for the marriage of my daughter, would you think I want to come back?"

"Since I'm back, I must go to bed. If you get bored when you see me, just go wherever you like!"

She lay back, still facing away from Gao Qiao, and said coldly. After that, she closed her eyes.

Gao Qiao neither lie back nor stand up, but just sits beside the bed, his figure still moving.

After a while, he slowly stood up and whispered: "You go to sleep. I'm a little bored, so go to the study to calm down."

Xiao Yongjia turned around and saw her husband walking slowly towards the door through the thin layer of summer tent. He almost bit his silver teeth, grabbed the square pillow he had just slept with, lifted the curtain, threw it towards his back, and said hatefully: "You can stay in your study, you don't have to come back!"

After leaving the east of the city, dozens of miles outside the suburbs, there is a Que Lake. The lake is shimmering and beautiful. There is a manor by the lake, famous Que Village.

The next day, Li Mu dressed in green clothes and came to Quezhuang alone. When he got off the horse, a middle-aged man dressed as a manager at the door of the manor quickly walked up to him and smiled, "Is it Li Huben?"

Li Mu nodded.

The manager said, "Pu Gao Qi, please wait here for a long time on the order of your master. Please come with me."

Li Mu looked at the manor and entered with Gao Qi.

The manor covers a huge area and can't see the end at first sight. Gao Qi seemed to have intentionally let him see the inside and lead him forward slowly. Whenever there is a scene, he will introduce it to him. The journey is winding and twists and turns, but he can see the small bridges, pavilions, towers and pavilions in the inner side, and the scenery is beautiful.

Gradually, he arrived at a Gaoxuan where the owner of the Houzhuang lived, Gao Qi smiled and said, "In addition to the place you have just seen, this farm also has thousands of acres of fertile land, more than 200 hectares of water and land, rice, mulberry, fish, fruits and vegetables in all seasons."

Li Mu did not speak, but raised his eyes and looked towards Xuanmen. There came out a young man of twenty-five or six years old. He took off his battle robe, frosty white clothes, handsome face and bright eyes. He was Gao Yin, another outstanding son of the Gao family.

Gao Yin was in the position of governor during the war in Jiangbei. He naturally met Li Mu. He had no airs and smiled. He quickly walked to Li Mu and said with a smile: "Jingchen, you are here, I have been waiting for a long time!"

Li Mu smiled and greeted him. He was stopped by Gao Yin and led him into the hall. Two banquets had been set up inside, facing each other. Gao Yin was in the main seat and invited Li Mu to the guest seat. After the two of them sat down, a slave served good food and wine like flowing water. After that, Gao Yin ordered Gao Qi to take all the people to retreat without having to serve him.

Only Gao Yin and Li Mu were left in the hall. Gao Yin invited Li Mu to drink a drink and said with a smile: "What do you think of this Zhuangzi?"

"The fairyland on earth is just like that." Li Mu replied.

Gao Yin smiled with a smile, put down the wine glass in his hand, and clapped his hands together.

Amid the chess of chess, I saw a row of screens on the side of the lobby, and a dozen girls, with high buns and colorful clothes, and fat and thin swallows. They were all first-class beauties, neatly arranged in the hall, making the surroundings look a lot more brilliant.

The beauty spoke and said goodbye, and the sound was like a oriole singing. Gao Yin smiled and ordered the beauty to sing and dance to entertain him. Then there was a woman in red and a woman in green playing the drums, and the rest danced with music.

After a song, Gao Yin ordered everyone to retreat and turned to Li Mu with a smile: "What about the beauty singing and dancing just now?"

Li Mu smiled slightly: "The governor's beauty singing and dancing is the fairy music of Yao Ji."

Gao Yin smiled and said, "Respectful minister, if you feel that you are still able to live up to your life, please accept this farm. All these beauties are under your name and serve them in the future. What do you think?"

Li Mu said: "The governor's good intentions are appreciated by Li Mu. Li Mu dare not accept such a heavy courtesy, so please take it back."

Gao Yin stared at him, his smile gradually disappeared, and his expression became solemn.

"Li Mu, I think you should know why I invited you here privately today. You have great kindness to me, Gao, and my uncle made some promises to you in person. But the scholars and common people do not intermarry, you should know clearly why they made such a harsh request to my uncle? What's more, my sister has already been in love with the Lu family's grand son. If it weren't for frequent wars, she would have been a Lu family wife. Now that the Gaolu and Lu families are about to discuss marriage, you have made such a request at this moment. Isn't it ridiculous?"

Gao Yin stood up from the mat, held his hands behind him, and paced slowly. He was tall and tall on the smooth ground, making a crisp sound of striking.

"Respect me, I respect your father and ancestors. I heard that you have been in the army at the age of thirteen, not only have you made many military achievements, but also have never abandoned your comrades in danger several times. It is rare. You are a strong man, why do you make such a difficult time this time? "

"Have you ever thought that if my uncle had promised that day, he would marry my sister to you, not only would he respect me, you would be named by the world, but also where would you want to place my Gao family? Where would you want to place my sister? It would be fine if you were ridiculed, but you would be afraid that she would be depressed and unhappy for the rest of her life!"

He stopped and turned to Li Mu.

"I invite you here today because I do not want to expand this matter. Apart from the beauty of the manor here, if you have any other requests, except my sister, if I can leave my Gao family, I will respond to everything. What do you think?"

After he finished speaking, he stared at Li Mu with two eyes.

Li Mu never said a word. After Gao Yin finished speaking, he slowly stood up from the table.

"Thank you for your heartfelt words. If your husband is inconvenient, Li Mu will take back what he asked yesterday. As for the other things, please use them yourself. Thank you for your hospitality today. Li Mu said goodbye!"

He smiled and bowed to Gao Yin.

Gao Yin looked at the blue back strolling ahead, frowned, and couldn't help looking at the screen in the hall.

Behind the screen, a middle-aged man slowly turned out, with a calm expression on his face and said to Li Mu's back: "Li Mu, I have something to ask you!"

Li Mu stopped, turned his head, and saw Gao Qiao appear, and then walked back.

Gao Qiao looked at Gao Yin.

Gao Yin nodded slightly and stepped back.

Only Gao Qiao and Li Mu were left in the hall, standing opposite each other.

Li Mu greeted Gao Qiao with a very respectful attitude.

Gao Qiao was out of normalcy and did not order him to get up. He just stared at him and said coldly: "You borrowed me to make a mistake that day, and now you insist on marrying my daughter. I don't think you are just going to do it. You are deliberately trying to do it, so what are you trying to do?"

Before he could finish his speech, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall.

Gao Qiao looked at him and saw that Gao Qi had hurriedly entered regardless of etiquette, and frowned: "Why are you so panicked?"

Gao Qi's face looked extremely ugly. He stopped, looked at Li Mu, walked quickly to Gao Qiao, and whispered: "Everyone (the title of the male owner), it's not good. News spread in the army this morning that his husband promised his daughter to marry Li Mu. Now everyone is very happy and they are talking about it!"

Gao Qiao's expression changed, and he quickly looked at Li Mu. Seeing him standing aside, his expression was calm, and there was nothing unusual. His eyes suddenly shone with brilliance, his eyes were as sharp as two sharp swords. He stared at Li Mu and nodded with a sneer: "Okay! OK! I, Gao Qiao, spent half my life, and was actually caught between the palms of you, a small Sima,! It's true that the younger generation is terrifying!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and rushed out of the lobby. His figure quickly disappeared outside the gate and almost rushed to the door of the manor.

When the servant saw the master coming out, he hurriedly greeted him: "Everyone, wait, I will drive the ox cart here."

"Prepare a horse for me!"

Gao Qiao shouted, and when the horse arrived, he jumped up, blew the wind with his big sleeves, waved his arms and whipped his whip, and drove the horse to gallop towards the city.
