At the entrance of the village was a Lee Family. Within the courtyard, the newly harvested wheat was exposed. Lee Xiuhsing, who wore a bamboo veil over her face, was carrying a basket on her back as she fed the small geese in the circle.

Five white geese circled around her, causing Second Elder Brother Zhu, who suddenly arrived at the door, to be stunned. He saw five white geese flapping their wings, stretching their long necks close to the ground and squawking as they chased after him.

"Sis Yuvniang, save me!"

With a loud shout, Second Elder Brother Zhu started to run and the 5 white geese chased closely after him. If it was a dog, it would have just grabbed the farm tools in the yard and started beating it. However, this was the two siblings' pet, and it was also the family's economic support.

In the past two months, Second Elder Brother Zhu had not found out that Lee Xiuhsing often went out disguised as Lee Yuvniang. Lee Xiuhsing was not in a hurry. She stood on the spot and watched Second Elder Brother Zhu running in the yard. She smiled and said, "Isn't Second Brother a runner? Then run more."

He wanted to cry but had no tears. Running normally was a form of exercise, so how could he compare with now? Being caught up to and made this goose take a bite, it was very painful. The first time I saw these geese, they were so cute and white.

After running two laps to gain some distance, Second Elder Brother Zhu ran to the side of the goose and said anxiously, "Sis Yuvniang, Erlang Shen has something important to do …"

Speaking of which, Second Elder Brother Zhu stuffed the two gift boxes in his hands into Lee Xiuhsing's arms and started running again.

"Second brother, wait a moment. This sister will help you get out of this predicament."

Lee Xiuhsing lowered her head and smiled. She picked up the willow stick beside the ring and wrapped it around a goose's neck before pulling it into the ring. Second Elder Brother Zhu ran two more laps before Lee Xiuhsing put away the five white geese.

Breathing heavily, Second Elder Brother Zhu glanced at the 23 geese still changing their feathers and said with the corner of his eyes, "Sis Yuvniang, when these geese grow up, Erlang won't even dare to come and look for elder sister."

"I'll sell it when it's autumn, but it won't be easy for Second Brother to sell it in the future."

Second Elder Brother Zhu had been coming to Lee Family every day for the past few days. She was a little reluctant to part with this little brother of hers. Second Elder Brother Zhu could tell jokes, cook food, and even put out ropes to hunt rabbits. More importantly, he didn't despise the two sisters' big feet as others did.

She also knew that Zhu Yisu had been instructed by the Son of Heaven in Tiancheng to guard the Xinping Fort. Although the Daizhou was within the Taiyuan Town, it was a thousand miles away from the Datong Town. Naturally, he also knew that the Xinping Fort was not a good place, and that it was located at the first line of Border Town.

The Daizhou was located in the northeast corner of the Taiyuan Town, and the Xinping Fort was located in the northeast corner of the Datong Town.

As for the relationship between a man and a woman Second Elder Brother Zhu had imagined, unfortunately, even the Lee Family sisters didn't have such thoughts. In the past, Second Elder Brother Zhu had to go to the sect sooner or later. Therefore, it was useless to think about it. Furthermore, Second Elder Brother Zhu was 45 years younger than them, so it was impossible for them to think about Second Elder Brother Zhu since his body hadn't grown yet.

If Second Elder Brother Zhu was a bit older and visited so many times, even the Lee Family Elder would not be happy.

Second Elder Brother Zhu could hear the worry in the girl's voice. He felt warm inside and when he saw no one in the yard, he said, "Sis Yuvniang, my family has become a military household."

Seeing that she still had no intention of reacting, Second Elder Brother Zhu lowered his voice and said to Lee Xiuhsing: "In the future, Father and I will be going to Xinping Fort to take part in this mission. I would like to invite Father to come to elder sister's house to apply."

"What?"

Lee Xiuhsing thought she misheard, but her heart was in turmoil. She looked at Second Elder Brother Zhu again and saw that he was looking at her with bright eyes. She could not help but feel sad.

At the age of fourteen, she met a palace beauty pageant and was unhappily selected. But because he had a pair of big feet, he was mocked by the other beautiful girls. He had yet to leave the boundaries of Daizhou, and was lucky enough that he did not die.

He had been hiding at home all day, pretending to be his sister Lee Yuvniang when he went out.

"Erlang likes Sis Yuvniang and wants to stay with her forever."

"Bullsh * t …"

Lee Xiuhsing turned and ran with the two boxes of gifts in her arms.

Second Elder Brother Zhu touched his face where he was. It was a handsome face with no trace of evil on it. Why did it seem like Lee Yuvniang was unwilling?

Is it that hard to marry a wife you like?

Knowing that there was some difficulty, his father held the power to decide whether he wanted to bring up the matter or not. In the end, the power to decide was in the hands of the old man Lee Family. Neither he nor Lee Yuvniang had the power to decide.

With a bitter face, he decided to head to the Xinping Fort this time. Who knew when he would be able to return? It could be that her bad luck had passed and she was struck by Horse Bandit like a pan. She might have already become someone else's wife when she returned after two years of good luck.

The Lee Family sisters had given him a good impression. With a good figure and no legs, this kind of girl was hard to find.

The real Lee Yuvniang was woken up by her sister. Lee Xiuhsing blushed and whispered in her ear, "Sister's Second Elder Brother Zhu is here. He asked Zhu husband to come and propose marriage. You see, in order to please his sister, Second Elder Brother Zhu has sent a piece of cloud weave sangyong cotton cloth and a box of Minzhou Sesame. "

Lee Yuvniang's face reddened, but she asked, "What if little sister leaves?"

Now, the two sisters appeared in front of everyone with their open identities. If she were to marry out of the family, her sister Lee Xiuhsing would only be able to stay at home forever. If it was exposed, Lee Family would be the crime of deceiving the monarch, and the whole family would be expropriated.

Lee Xiuhsing sighed in her heart. As expected, her little sister's heart was moved by that little girl. She didn't even try to cover up her feelings. However, she deliberately asked: "Let's not talk about this older sister first. I need to think clearly, Zhu husband's family is currently in the army, and they are still at the Xinping Fort border."

"Isn't His Majesty Feng the descendant of a thousand families of Feng Zhu and husband? He could be considered a military man, and he wasn't bad either. Is your Xinping Fort far from here? "

After recounting her understanding of Xinping Fort to the foolish little sister, Lee Xiuhsing continued, "Xinping Fort is different from other places, it is likely that father will not allow little sister to go. "Besides, Zhu husband is a top fifth-rank, and he's willing to let his sister be his concubine?"

Lee Yuvniang was silent for a long time before she said, "Second Elder Brother Zhu doesn't mind his sister's heaven's feet. It's rare for him to have feelings of camaraderie. Even as a concubine, my little sister is willing. "

"If that's the case, then sister will plead for my sister tonight."

"Then, sister, what should we do in the future?"

Lee Xiuhsing fell silent and shook her head, "We'll talk about it when the time comes. Second Elder Brother Zhu is still in the yard. Sister, quickly wash up. Don't keep him waiting."

Hurriedly changing her clothes, Lee Xiuhsing walked out of the inner courtyard. She saw Second Elder Brother Zhu squatting on the ground and peeling the ears of wheat, so she closed the door first. She revealed a narrow smile and said, "Second Brother's face is thick, you made my little sister blush. Tell me, what does Zhu Wu Steel mean? "

He gave a reserved smile and glanced at Lee Xiuhsing's pretty face. Second Elder Brother Zhu waved his fist and said: "Sister A, I can take care of my father. "Anyhow, I can't let Sis Yuvniang suffer any grievances. If I can't marry Sis Yuvniang, Erlang would rather go and become a monk."

"Oh, second brother is so ambitious." Sighing, Lee Xiuhsing squatted on the side and asked, "I didn't expect that at such a young age, Second Brother would still know not to let my little sister down. My sister is very curious, what level has Second Brother fallen for my silly little sister?" You should know that the reason Yuvniang has her face covered is because she's so ugly. "

Second Elder Brother Zhu looked down at the bottom of Lee Xiuhsing's skirt and then looked up and met her eyes. He said seriously: "Elder sister is so good-looking, Sis Yuvniang should be the same. And Jiro doesn't like women with their feet entangled. "

Lee Xiuhsing asked curiously, "Why?"

"The woman with the leggings is a bit awkward walking, but she can't run fast enough. Just like an older sister, she walks in a nice way. "

The two of them chatted absent-mindedly. Lee Yuvniang, wearing a silk veil made from bamboo hat and silk, came out with a wry smile. She kept her head down, unable to speak at all.

The three of them had their own thoughts and the atmosphere was weird. This made Second Elder Brother Zhu regret being unable to hold back his emotions. However, from Lee Yuvniang's attitude, she didn't seem to be against him. Then he would go back and work harder so that his father, Zhu Yisu, would come tomorrow and propose, setting the position first.

"Thank you, second brother, for bringing this big news earlier, helping big sister boil water. I will make some pies for second brother."

At this time, the sun was rising in the east, and it was time for breakfast. Master Lee Family, Li Shoudao and Li Brothers haven't woken up yet. Second Elder Brother Zhu has something on his mind, so he came to Lee Family early in the morning. Lee Xiuhsing is too hardworking.

Waving his hand, he looked at the silent Li Xiuniang, Second Elder Brother Zhu said, "There are still things to be done in imperial family today, such as copying 4 books and 5 scriptures, a few military books and the [Vajra Scripture]. Just thinking about it gives me a headache. I want to borrow a few white goose wings from my big sister to use as a pen to copy. "

"No wonder second brother was chased by a giant goose, so he had ill intentions."

Lee Xiuhsing couldn't help but laugh. Lee Yuvniang was still unaware of it. Thinking of the unfortunate incident just now, Second Elder Brother Zhu also smiled. Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at Lee Xiuhsing.

There was a slip of the tongue...

Pretending to be calm, Lee Xiuhsing said, "Then please wait for a moment, Yuvniang and sister will go and pluck some goose feathers for second brother."

Second Elder Brother Zhu looked at the backs of the two sisters as they left. Looking carefully, they looked so similar. He vaguely had an idea, but he didn't have any direct evidence to prove it.

After bidding farewell to the Lee Family sisters, Second Elder Brother Zhu returned to the house to research the goose feather pen. He used the scissors to cut a few times before finding a suitable cut angle.

After an incense stick of time, he had already copied and written three pages. This speed was much faster than writing with a brush. This was also the reason why he found the quill uncomfortable. After writing three pages to Zhu Yisu for his purposes, he began to process the quill again. He wrapped a cloth strip around the quill to make it easier to hold.

His character book was stiff, and he wrote with a goose-hair pen with a harder tip. The metal in his handwriting was even stronger, but there was a gentleness to it, as smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water.

Zhu Yisu tried to hold back his shock and pretended to be calm as he pointed out: "The calligraphy has improved a little, but what is this thing?"

Seeing that he was pointing at a comma, Second Elder Brother Zhu choked and said, "This is for Erlang to break the sentence."

At the beginning, there were no punctuation marks in the book, but later, in order to make it easier to read, a circle 'O' was used to break off the sentence. Apart from the word, this period 'O' was the most numerous in the entire book. Second Elder Brother Zhu was dazzled by what he saw, so he changed the first part of the sentence according to his memory into a comma.

"Arrogant."

Zhu Yisu somewhat reluctantly burned the three pages, and said to the unconvinced Second Elder Brother Zhu in a deep voice, "Zhu Zi can't be changed yet, so what about you? My son's actions may be beneficial, but they are a taboo. "Remember, next time is not going to happen."

The lines in the book were the patents of the scholars, and the lines in the book contended for the present structure, which was formed only after a thousand years. One more comma was obviously a challenge to these sages. Without mentioning anything else, the descendants of these sages would definitely be unhappy.

After all, this old man had good intentions as well.

Fearing that his son would not know the seriousness of the situation, Zhu Yisu patiently recounted the dangers brought by the new phrase symbol. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the current literati could not win against you and could use their power to make you disappear without a reason.

Seeing that the old man's anger had subsided, Second Elder Brother Zhu mustered up his courage and knelt on the ground, "Father, your son and the Lee Family have talked about proposing marriage, I hope father will grant my wish."

If it was the modern society, how good would it be, two people would look at each other and go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a certificate, the matter was settled.
