Xu Jingfu escaped from prison in the night and fled to a wild farmhouse outside the city. He was rushed by his student Chu Zilan with his team of horses. He was severely wounded in the battle with his husband. Now he is lying on the hospital bed.
One night, Shuojing’s wind direction was completely different.
Xu Jingfu’s run was to convict the enemy and treason, as well as to frame the crime of injuring the emperor of the court in Mingshui. The case of Dali Temple was tried very quickly, and the whole Xu family was arrested up and down. The only thing that was surprising was the four sons of Chu in Shijinbo Mansion. Some people scolded him for being unethical in the back, Xu Jingfu treated him as well, but he helped people deal with his teacher. Some people say that he is clean, after all, June is more important than Shien.
But now, he is lying on the sickbed, and I don’t know when to wake up. This is a shame. I heard that Xu Jingfu had pierced his chest with a knife, but I wondered if he could survive.
In Xiao Mansion, in the ancestral hall, Xiao Jing and Xiao Jue stood side by side.
Xiao Jue rarely comes to incense with Xiao Jing. Most of the time, he comes alone.
Bai Rongwei was unwell during the first two nights. He asked the doctor to see that he was pregnant. At that time, Bai Rongwei had just married the Xiao family for half a year, and Xiao Zhongwu had an accident. Soon, Mrs. Xiao also followed away. At that time, Xu Jingfu was very tight, and the entire Xiao family was in danger. Bai Rong, who was just pregnant, was laborious and labored. Miscarriage, at the same time, fell ill, and has been recuperating all these years.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Xu Jingfu’s case was settled, Bai Rongwei had good news, and he didn’t know if he was destined.
Xiao Jing looked at the cards in the ancestral hall, sighed, and said, “It’s almost seven years, and finally I can let go of something.”
No one has mentioned it deliberately in these years, but Mingshui did not forget whether it was Xiao Jue or Xiao Jing.
“You have worked hard all these years,” Xiao Jing looked at Xiao Jue with a smile, and there was a little apology in her smile. “The burden of the Xiao family is all on you.”
“Shao Jing takes care of everything,” Xiao Jue said lightly: “Why do I work hard alone.”
“You are hard-mouthed.” Xiao Jing shook his head and chuckled, “Although I am your elder brother, it seems that I have never done anything for you. You have never lived for yourself,” his gaze fell on the curling smoke On, “Now, you can finally take a break for a while.”
Whether he was thrown onto the mountain from a young age, or later entered the Xianchang Pavilion, or finally took over the Nanfu soldiers, it was all for the Xiao family. Sometimes Xiao Jing feels that he does not understand what his brother really wants, probably because no one has ever asked him what he wants. By the time I think about it, Xiao Jue has grown up and is used to putting everything in his heart.
As a big brother, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t seem to walk into Xiao Jue’s heart.
Fortunately… It would be nice if another person could walk in.
“After the Xu family’s case, it’s time to think about your business,” Xiao Jing said.
“my business?”
“Don’t forget your family affairs. This matter is now a major event for the Xiao family. Your sister-in-law is pregnant now. I let her put these things down for a while and let me do it.”
Xiao Jue was slightly surprised: “No, I’ll do it myself.”
“Xu Jingfu’s Yu Dang is still arrogant, I’m afraid you don’t have time to open up in person.” Xiao Jing said with a smile: “You can rest assured that I have experience in this matter, and I can’t go wrong. When I was married to your sister-in-law, I was also myself. After taking care of things, it looks good in the end.
At that time, Mrs. Xiao did not want Xiao Jing to marry a mistress who was not in the right household, but she couldn’t bear her son. She couldn’t let go of her in anger, and the matter of getting married, from a new house to a wedding gift, to a wedding post, was Xiao Jing’s personal control. .
In this way, Xiao Jue remembered that Xiao Jing was nervous and cautiously standing at the silk village, personally selecting the cloth for the wedding dress, could not help but bowed his head and smiled.
Xiao Jing smiled at him and smiled, and said with emotion: “I was still thinking when I was married to your sister-in-law. When can I see you getting married, and I don’t know what the girl you are going to marry in the future, what is it? It looks like, think about it now,” he paused. “That girl, He, is really good.”
After a moment of silence, Xiao Jue said softly: “I also think she is very good.”
“Huaijin,” Xiao Jing stood side by side with him, “you have to cherish it.”
…
In the Chu Mansion, Chu Zhao, unconscious for seven days, finally woke up.
The first thing he woke up was to disregard his unhealed wound and dragged the patient into the palace to meet the emperor. At the beginning, everyone thought he had to kill his family by righteousness, and he wanted to cut the Chu family’s way. This time when he entered the palace, he wanted to drop the last stone into the well. Unexpectedly, his purpose of entering the palace turned out to be that he had a marriage contract with Xu Pingting. According to this time, Xu Pingting should have been married to the Chu mansion. It seems that Xu Jingfu once assisted Xu Gongting in forgiving his life.
Sentiment, righteousness, and non-discrimination. Such young people are very popular among the superiors. What’s more, Chu Zhao’s own illness did not heal, and his pale and stubborn look made Wen Xuandi think of Xiao Huaijin many years ago. When his heart was soft, he accepted Chu Zhao’s request. However, Xu Jingfu’s crimes were extremely evil. Although Xu Pinting was exempt from death and live crimes could not escape, he has since become a daughter of a criminal official, and of course he cannot be the young lady in Shi Jinbo.
Be a concubine at most.
When Xu Pingting was brought to the Chu family, he kept crying. However, in just a few days, the Xu family fell, and her father and mother were all dead. All the people who had made good friends in Japan had avoided them, and now, it is nothing more than a Chu Zhao.
“Brother Zilan!” Xu Pinting cried as soon as he saw Chu Zhao, “Why are you here to save me now, what is going on? Why do they treat me like this?”
Ms. Qian Jin, who was high above the sky, fell into the muddy mud from the cloud overnight. In addition to panic, she refused to believe that everything in front of her was true.
“Pingting,” the man in front of her looked at her with gentle eyes. “You will live here in the future.”
“What does this mean? Can’t I go back to my house?” Xu Pingting said eagerly. “They all wronged my father. Brother Zilan, you must have a way, you have a way, right?”
Chu Zilan just looked at her quietly.
Xu Pingting’s hand gradually loosened from Chu Zhao’s arm. She stepped back two steps. The panic in her eyes slowly receded a bit. As if remembering an old thing, she asked: “Brother Zilan, I’m on my way Hearing people say… they said you killed your parents righteously. When my dad took people away, it was you who stopped them… This shouldn’t be true, is it because they lied?”
Chu Zhao sighed: “It’s true.”
Xu Pinting’s expression froze, and after a while, she cried out with a cry: “Then my father did you kill? Why did you do this, my father treats you so well, he is your teacher what!”
The tears on the pretty girl’s face were always high, she was always high-spirited, or she was arrogantly laughing, or she was angry, and she rarely saw such a fragile and embarrassing moment at this time. It is “Xu Xiang’s gold”, just like all ordinary girls.
Chu Zhao approached her, took out the veil, and wiped the tears off her face a little bit for her. If he had done this before, Xu Pingting was already very happy, but now she looked at the person before her, and she still had the same eyebrows as before, with a tender and patient look, but somehow, she gave a slight chill to her back. .
“I promised the teacher to take good care of you,” he slowly withdrew his veil. His tone was still the same as in the past, and it seemed completely different. “It will definitely be done. Pinting, don’t be willful.”
“Some words, don’t mention them again in the future.” He whispered: “Be a little bit, everything will pass.”
…
At night, He Yan and He Yunsheng sat in the house and roasted sweet potatoes.
Buried two sweet potatoes in the fine ash under the stove, waited for a while to peel the ash, the sweet potatoes are roasted and cooked, you can smell the fragrance before peeling, and you will feel sweet and warm after peeling , Xiang’s desire to let everyone swallow the tongue.
He Yan picked up a big sweet potato and threw it into He Yunsheng’s arms. The sweet potato was too hot. He Yunsheng took it upside down and dared to talk.
“He Yan, you eat less.” While eating, he reminded the person opposite, “I heard that the wedding dress that Xiao Dudu made for you was made according to your previous size. You eat it like this, What if the skirt cannot be worn at that time and I can’t find a new wedding dress?”
He Yan threw a melon skin towards his head, and He Yunsheng bowed his head to hide. She said: “Your sister and I have a slender waist and a slender grip. Why can’t I put on a skirt and worry about it!”
“Anyway, I haven’t seen any girl’s family who can eat like you before they got married.” He Yunsheng muttered. He saw their neighbors’ sisters getting married on this street. The other brides started to be hungry a few months in advance, so they could teach themselves to look light and lovely that day. The only one in his own family was afraid of taking a bite. Consciously want to get married.
What should I do if I go on like this? He Yunsheng thought anxiously, don’t go to the Xiao family, the others thought they didn’t give He Yan enough food?
“You are so young, why do you think so much?” He Yanyu taught him with a long heart, “Dad doesn’t think much about you.” He Yunsheng is probably early in his own life, and sometimes He Yan feels that he is more like a father than He Sui . The old-fashioned is not as cute as when he was younger.
“The case of the Xu family is over, and Xiao Dudu has nothing to do after that.” He Yunsheng said with a dull head: “Isn’t the next big thing to be done with you. He Yan, how do you feel How big is this?” He Yunsheng grew more and more angry, “Are you not nervous at all?”
The sweet potato was too hot, and He Yan blew it before taking a bite and replied vaguely: “Not nervous.”
He Yunsheng has nothing to say. All right, he is up and down with this family, only he is nervous.
He Yan looked at him with a heavy heart and smiled and said, “What do you want to do so much? Isn’t it still some days before you get married, Yun Shengna, you’re still young, don’t know what is happening in this world, changing rapidly, what scene will be tomorrow No one can expect, so why bother yourself. For example, the Xu family, what kind of glory was in the past, who can expect such a day.”
Speaking of which, He Yunsheng also recovered, and said with a sigh: “The same is said, you and the Xu family were married by the emperor at the celebration feast that day, your marriage is near now, then the family of Miss Xu family, this “It’s impossible to complete in my life.” He frowned. “The people of Quanshuo Jing then compared you with Miss Xu’s family, saying that our family can’t compare with Xu’s family. I’m so mad, I’m afraid no one will know now. Say this.”
After all, the Xu family had already fallen, and the accusation was extremely disgraceful.
He Yan chewed the sweet potato’s action.
To tell the truth, Chu Zhao led people to “greatly destroy their relatives”, which was beyond her expectation. This matter was wrong. He Yan thought about it, thinking that this might be a game played by Chu Zhao, but he received it cleanly, and there was no evidence. On the surface, he chose the loyal prince among the teachers and the princes, but think carefully In this case, he did not actually have any losses. On the contrary, he neatly cut off the connection with Xu Jingfu and won the trust of the emperor for the time being. Except that he himself lay on the collapse for a long time.
But the matter of being injured can be large or small. How to say it all depends on the doctor’s mouth. After all, no one will bring the doctor to the door to verify whether he is really that dangerous.
He Yan did not want to make people think very badly, so whenever he thought of this, he swept away very quickly, unwilling to think about it. Forget it, what does Chu Zhao have to do with her? Why waste time on people who are not very important.
He Yunsheng spoke to her for a while before getting up and leaving.
After He Yunsheng left, He Yan cleaned the sweet potato skin on the ground, and freshly washed it before he fell. Speaking of that, since the day before Mrs. He Er’s burial, she had never seen Xiao Jue again. The Xu Xiang case has finally come to an end now, but it does not mean that it is all over. None of the people related to Xu Xiang and the people involved in Mingshui’s World War I can’t be resolved clearly.
And the prince’s side… He Yan’s mood is very heavy. The prince is by no means a good prince, but as a courtier, she is still a courtier without real power and can’t influence the emperor’s decision.
She looked in the direction outside the bed window, in the capital of Shuo, the storm was coming.
Suddenly thinking, suddenly, a cold light flew towards her, He Yan looked awkwardly, subconsciously reached out to catch it, the thing rubbed her palm, and slightly scratched her palm, He Yan looked down and she grabbed a long dart.
Something was tied to the dart, He Yan stunned, looked down, his face suddenly changed. The solution is half a hairpin. The hairpin is the appearance of a magnolia flower. He Yan is no stranger. This is the hairpin she gave to He Xinying.
Since the last time I saw He Xinying, He Yan was worried that the girl would be short-sighted and found short-sightedness. After a short distance, she let Chiwu go to the Wei family to send something. Not much, not very expensive, but It’s all He Yan’s heart, sometimes a little jewelry, sometimes a piece of fabric. She is not very good at selecting these things for girls, so she is very serious every time she chooses. She recently let Chiwu send this magnolia hairpin, and heard that He Xinying liked it very much, so she wore it on her head.
Why is it here?
There was a piece of paper wrapped in the hairpin, and He Yan opened it to see, and there was a place written on it, which looked like a restaurant tea house.
Someone grabbed He Xinying and came to threaten her?
But this restaurant and tea shop is in a downtown area, and there is no curfew recently. If you want to do it, how can you pick such an eye-catching place?
He Yan thought for a long time, whether he was worried that He Xinying’s thought prevailed. She picked a men’s outfit from the box and put it on. Chiwu is not here today. Since Xu Xiang’s case came out, Chiwu has also been busy at night.
After taking care of herself, she sneaked out of the door while taking advantage of the night, guessing and asking all the way, finally finding the place written on the note.
Sure enough, it is a tea room.
This tea room was repaired to look like a small garden. From the outside, it was more like a residential house, not far from Fangshi, and there were soldiers and horses patrolling the city from time to time. For a moment, He Yan Si raised her foot and walked in.
Outside Xiaoyuan, standing two plain-clothed children, seeing He Yan, asked nothing, only said: “Girl please come.” It seemed like she had been waiting here for a long time.
He Yan had a meal, she came in men’s clothing, her men’s clothing is not foolproof, but it is enough to pass most people. But these two children said directly to the “girl”, and they would never have seen through their true body at first glance because they were unique in their vision. I was afraid that the person waiting for her inside would already know about her behavior. Quite deep.
In He Yan’s heart, a person was guessed vaguely, but she was not sure yet, and she didn’t quite understand why the other party did this.
The little boy took He Yan into the small garden, bypassed a garden, and entered the tea room. There was no one in the hall outside the tea room. All the way to the corridor, there are smaller tea rooms on both sides of the corridor, and He Yan followed the child to the last one.
The child said: “Girls please come in.” After saying this, the two would leave He Yan regardless of He Yan.
He Yan pushed the door and went in.
In the tea room, light and shadow shook, full of tea, and behind the long table, a Qingjun man was sitting, with wide-sleeved robes, a gentle smile, and said softly: “Ahe.”
“Four sons of Chu,” He Yan heard his voice, “What do you mean?”
“I just feel like I haven’t seen Ahe in a long time, and I want to talk to Ahe.” He replied in a warm voice, not displeased by He Yan’s indifference.
He Yan raised his hand and showed him the hairpin: “Where is Miss He?”
“Wei House.”
He Yan stunned and looked at Chu Zhao again. After thinking for a while, she threw the hairpins on the table and sat down opposite Chu Zhao. She looked at Chu Zhao and said calmly, “You lied to me?”
“If not,” Chu Zhao said: “How can Ahe come to see me?”
I didn’t think it used to be. Now when he listens to him “Ahe”, He Yan feels uncomfortable and pauses. She asks, “So, what is the reason why the fourth son of Chu is so anxious to see me?”
