裴知衍离季府已是快到未时。

    他闭眼后靠在马车壁, 似乎决定了之后，一切也没有那艰难，娶她, 让她留在自己身边，时刻看到她，用再时刻挣扎在被她牵绊心的煎熬。

    或许这辈子就是她还他的吧, 没有那可跨越的过去, 他可以当作一切都只是一场梦。

    裴知衍再睁眼时，淡淡的笑意从眼底透出，眼尾轻挑起，他将玉指轻捻后搁在鼻端，仿佛还嗅到从季央身沾染的幽香气息。

    *

    送走裴知衍后, 季庭章将伺候的下人全都摒退了下去，花厅内一息之间就只剩了他, 季老夫人, 陈氏与季央四人。

    季央安静坐在凳, 窥见季庭章略显严肃的面容，心下由得有些惴惴, 父亲大多只在哥哥犯错时才是这样的神『色』。

    陈氏知晓季庭章是极重规矩之人, 世子登门摆明是为了央姐儿，偏她又从没提过两人相识一事，这突然的一遭, 也难怪季庭章要舒服。

    陈氏端了盏茶前, 缓和气氛道：“老爷喝口茶。”

    若换作是季宴，他训了也就训了，可对女儿季庭章总是忍心去责问她，尤其是她乖巧沉静的模样, 一如她过世的母亲。

    陈氏递的茶正好给了他台阶，季庭章端茶，吹去浮沫抿了一口，道：“方才裴大人可有与你说什？”

    季央受控制脸颊一阵的发烫，想起在花房，她藏在袖下指尖就住的酥麻起，她用贝齿咬唇肉，住的告诉自己，快打住，别想了。

    季央好容易才平复下心绪，让自己还算平和的回话，“大人只夸了我兰花养得好。”

    裴知衍告诉她什都需管，他自有安排，那她便听他的，照他说得讲。

    季庭章听后和缓地点点头，对季央道：“你也回去休息吧。”

    季老夫人还有话想与季央说，可当儿子的面还是忍住了，季庭章是个认死理的人，若定北侯府按纳采、问名的那一套规矩，他是同意季央擅自与裴世子往的。

    季央回到自己的小院，头还是晕晕乎乎的，萤枝连叫了好几声，她才回过神。

    “你方才说什？”季央眼睛亮极，水莹莹还带细碎的光，嘴角扬，任谁看了都忍住跟愉悦起。

    萤枝还知道发生了什，只知道小姐心了，她也就跟高兴起，她笑道：“奴婢是问，小姐可要再吃些东西？”

    季央摇摇头，“我饿。”

    洗漱完，她将自己埋进了柔软的衾褥之中，青丝柔顺服帖的瞬耳侧垂下，将嫣红的小脸半遮半掩。

    季央巴巴地眨眼睛，脸的欢喜怎也藏住，要了多久，裴知衍就是她的了。

    *

    永宁宫。

    娴妃跪坐在拔步床，服侍承景帝更衣，柔声细语道：“今日臣妾的姐姐进宫与臣妾商议云随的婚事。”

    承景帝闭眼抬手臂由她伺候自己，声音醇厚：“商议如何。”

    定北侯掌兵权，裴知衍又在朝堂有一席之地，他娶亲，娶谁，那都是承景帝要权衡计较的。

    娴妃笑道：“臣妾的侄儿相中了顺天府尹季庭章季大人之女，陛下以为如何。”

    承景帝听后慢慢睁眼，道：“门户虽低了点，过既然是他自己相中的，也甚可。”

    季府即爵位也非皇亲，但正如此，反倒合了承景帝的意，若今日裴知衍相中的是哪位王爷或者伯爵之女，他倒是要多考量考量。

    承景帝起身道：“朕去早朝，你再多睡一。”

    娴妃低瞬眉眼道：“是。”

    *

    秋末时候，虽凉了下，但确是日日的好天气。

    初三这日，一大清早季府就停了辆饰有雕漆花纹，缀金饰银螭绣带的马车。

    有眼尖的认出那是长兴侯府的马车，还有人看到是提了大雁入的府。

    围看热闹的众人纷纷感叹道，这是又有人季府提亲了，还请动了长兴侯夫人，也知这次是哪家公子。

    季老夫人和陈氏得了下人的消息连忙亲自去到前院将人迎了进。

    三人落座，季老夫人知道长兴侯府人是说媒提亲的，面喜『色』难掩，让下人了好的茶叶，敢丝毫怠慢。

    长兴侯夫人年岁略长秦氏，眉眼较秦氏更加精明，年轻时也是个盛气凌人的人。

    她端坐在位，笑道：“我这次，是为定北侯世子，向贵府小姐提亲的。”
