August 20, the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, there have been three autumn rains, the weather is getting cooler and cooler, the autumn wind blows the yellow treetops, the refreshing cold wind rolls the apricot leaves, and the land of Gyeonggi is a declining scene.

The horse team that was slowly advancing in the middle of the middle range Anguo galloped quickly, stopped in front of Zhao Yanheng's car, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, it is the Duke of Xuanguo who has arrived, and the people who have ordered the vanguard do not need to stop it." ”

But in an instant, there was a galloping horse's hooves on the official road, and seven horsemen inserted into the guards of hundreds of people, each horse was tall and long-legged, and the whole body was black, and the leading Zhu Qin was wearing a dark brocade robe, covered with a dark thin felt, with a burly figure, handsome eyebrows, a very beautiful face, and between his manners, he was very majestic.

Zhu Qin turned over and dismounted two zhang away, stood beside the horse with a horsewhip in his hand, hugged his fists at the carriage where Zhao Yanheng was, and said loudly: "Minister Zhu Qin, see Lord Xiang!"

The car door opened, Zhao Yanheng sat in the car, wearing a blue crane-patterned brocade robe, with a topaz pendant around his waist, he didn't come out, just sat and said: "Xuanguo Gong is exempt from courtesy." ”

Zhu Qin closed his fists and stood, his long body was erect, the six people behind Zhu Qin and the guards around Zhao Yanheng all retreated far away, Zhu Qin approached Zhao Yanheng's car, Zhao Yanheng also bent down and leaned out, and said with a cold face: "The king of gossip doesn't say much, and now it has been more than three months since Fei Fei was assassinated, and Mrs. Cai has been dead for almost three months.

Hearing Zhao Yanheng reading Fei Fei affectionately, Zhu Qin raised his eyebrows, and when he heard the death of his mother, he calmly said from Zhao Yanheng's mouth, Zhu Qin's eyebrows did not move, and he read Cai's indifference and even disgust to Li's mother and daughter for more than ten years, Zhu Qin's brows were deeply locked, and he said: " His Royal Highness didn't know, the minister had a dispute with his mother in early April, and the dispute continued, and the minister could only prohibit his mother from leaving the house, and naturally people outside the house could not visit his mother, until May 30, the person died, and the minister secretly checked for more than two months, checked the mother's internal accounts, and checked the mother's henchmen, to say that the two are directly related, there is indeed no. ”

"It's better not to hide it from this king. Zhao Yanheng held the Huang Yupei on his waist, and said with a very stern expression: "Sixteen years, Xuanguo Gong has another wife and heirs, in the eyes of this king, Xuanguo Mansion is not a good place for Fei Fei, but the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, and Fei Fei can only live in Xuanguo Mansion, so today this king has to hand Fei Fei over to the grandfather of the country, and this king is uneasy!"

Zhu Qin's eyes were like eagles, he looked at Zhao Yanheng, the corners of his lips twitched, and said: "His Royal Highness King Xiang, the minister has asked himself for more than 30 years, and he has never been fooled by the women of the Hou House, some of them are just loyal and filial piety, and they are forced by the shape of shì, and now that his mother is dead, as long as the royal family can tolerate Fei'er, the minister can naturally keep Fei'er safe in the Xuanguo Mansion." ”

The two sides told each other, Zhao Yanheng didn't have time to get tired of Li Fei, so the two groups of people separated, Zhao Yanheng accelerated the itinerary into Beijing and entered the palace, dozens of people on Li Fei's side stopped for half an hour, Zhu Qin rode on a horse, and first made a settlement with the officials who commanded the envoys, these people escorted Li Fei into Beijing safely, and they had to go to the yamen to submit documents.

Li Fei was sitting in the carriage, born sixteen years ago, for the first time since he could remember, he saw his father for the first time, to say that Li Fei was not nervous, it was a tough mouth, Li Fei was a little nervous, some expectation, and even a little hurried, holding Yulu's hand, out of the carriage.

A twenty-eight-year-old girl, her face is as bright as jade, her eyes are clear as water, her waist is slender and graceful, her posture is graceful, and she is holding a jade bone fan that covers her face.

Zhu Qin rode on horseback, and saw Li Fei's face similar to his own six points, and the other four points were inherited from the Li family's good and beautiful face, and he couldn't help but show a look of pride and longing on his face.

"Father!"

Li Fei curtsied to Zhu Qin, and the autumn wind swept over, blowing away Li Fei's waist-length hair, and the hair flew, covering half of Li Fei's fair and flawless cheeks.

Zhu Qin hummed and said with emotion: "You look like me, and you look like your mother......

There are a thousand words here that can't be said, if there is no loyalty and filial piety, this child is such a Xiao father, and the Li family is located, Zhu Qin must hold it in the palm of his hand, and the gold and jade raise it, and now the sixteen years have passed, the past can not be traced, Zhu Qin just felt a little sour in his heart, and said softly: "The wind is strong, you go into the car first, and it is important to go home." ”

Li Fei brushed away the hair that was close to his cheeks, glanced at his burly father on horseback again, and turned back to the car.

Song Duofu was also in the same car with Li Fei, she was moving to the door of the car to get out of the car to meet the uncle of the Zhu family, Li Fei came up, she retreated again, and when Li Fei sat down, the carriage galloped on the flat official road, Song Duofu praised it, and said: "I finally know, why you can have this appearance, your parents are like this, you should also be so outstanding." ”

Li Fei gently scraped his face with a soft finger and said, "Did you see my father?"

Song Duofu nodded, and the position where she was sitting just now could be seen clearly.

Li Fei said abruptly: "I didn't look at it carefully, I just glanced at it in a hurry." ”

Song Duofu sat next to Li Fei, her hands folded on her knees, she searched in her mind, searched for a while, sighed, and said lightly: "His Royal Highness King Xiang is handsome and noble, An Guo is cold and upright, these two are one in a million, and Grandpa Guo is also like this, and he is more restrained and profound than a young man of about twenty." ”

Sixteen years have passed, and now Zhu Qin is thirty-four years old, as a man with his own charm, he can still compete with young men in about twenty, Li Fei thought of his mother who had been lonely for many years, and fell into an indescribably complicated mood.

Three hours later, the carriage stopped at the main gate of the Xuanguo Mansion, the three red lacquered copper locked doors were all open, and the entourage entered from the left and right side doors, only Li Fei sat in a sedan chair, carried in from the main entrance, and carried it all the way to the central axis of the Xuanguo Mansion, Zhu Qin's residence Shuwei Hall.

Zhu Qin entered the door early, and had already changed into another dark robe and sat alone on the carved red sandalwood chair at the front, stretching his eyebrows, holding tea and drinking himself. Xu sat on the right side, Wu Yang's long hair was tied in a bun, only a few small silver ornaments were embellished, her face was powdered, and she was dressed in a dark blue pigment on her body, she was also very beautiful, she had been raised in the rich nest all these years, the color had not decreased, compared to the concubines standing in the house, Zhu Qin had accepted the concubines who had entered the door over the years, and she did not lose a little, and she was graceful and beautiful.

The front got off the sedan chair, the maid and the mother-in-law greeted and said goodbye, Li Fei entered the house in the glow, did not squint, only looked at his father, and formally bowed three times.

"Hurry up, now that I'm back at home, I'm the same as in the Li family, if you have anything to do, just send someone to ask me, if I'm not in the house for a while......" Zhu Qinwu said to himself, speaking of this, Xu's neck stretched, Zhu Qin took out a private seal from his sleeve, and said: "You take it, if I am not in the house for a while, with this seal, everyone and everything, you can schedule." ”

"Thank you, father. Li Fei smiled sweetly, and took Zhu Qin's private seal with both hands.

The Xu family was still a bit of a city government, and did not show a different color, but when Li Fei turned to her, a thick brocade mat was placed in front of Li Fei.

This is?

Li Fei turned a blind eye, folded his hands at his side, and bent his knees to Xu and said softly, "Mrs. Xu." ”

At this moment, the warmth on Xu's face finally cracked, and his face turned to Zhu Qin, as if he had infinite grievances, and he called out a little pitifully: "Master......"

Zhu Qin looked at Li Fei, but nodded his head and said majestically: "That's fine." ”

Zhu Qin's attitude was put out like this, and Xu obediently held back the last bit of Li Fei's thoughts, turned his face with a little love, and said: "Since you are back, treat this place as your own home, if you have any problems, or the food does not fit, or the clothes do not fit, or the slaves and maids are not suitable, just tell me." ”

Li Fei smiled but did not answer.

Xu continued to smile stiffly, raised his hand to greet several plainly dressed women behind him, and asked Zhu Qin, "In the future, if you live in a mansion, these sisters, the girls should also know who is who." ”

Zhu Qin looked at Li Fei and Li's somewhat thoughtful faces, slightly embarrassed, but still nodded.

Zhu Qin nodded, and these women like a set board came alive, among them, the eldest woman asked Li Fei to say goodbye first, and said with a smile: "The girl is fine, the concubine is Fan." ”

Li Fei bowed sideways and returned the half salute to Aunt Fan.

Since then, Aunt Wu, Aunt Li, and Aunt Su, who have given birth to children in the backyard, have all saluted Li Fei one by one.

Aunt Fan seemed to have some weight in the inner house, walked up to Zhu Qin's side, and continued the tea ceremony for Zhu Qin: "Master, let the young masters and girls also meet this sister." ”

The corners of Xu's lips twitched, and he covered it with a handkerchief.

At this time, the inner room was already dim, Zhu Qin called someone to hold the lamp, waved his hand and said: "It's late today, let's let Fei'er rest for one night first, and see my brothers and sisters tomorrow when I'm in good spirits." ”

Li Fei sat on the brocade on the left side, since Zhu Qin said this, Xu immediately said, "There are a few people who came up with Miss Li, and now I see it, the people who came out of the southwest border don't know if they are useful in the capital." ”

A servant woman immediately went out of the house to call the people who entered the house with Li Fei, seven people entered at one time, Li Fei got up with a smile, walked over and held Song Duofu's hand, and had the intention of declaring it to everyone in the house, but only talked to Zhu Qin and said with a smile: "Father, this one is my friend, surnamed Song, named Duofu, this is my friend who has been friends for ten years, this time I came back to the capital to see the world, I want to invite her to live at home." ”

If Song Duofu was pulled to this kind of carved mansion half a year ago, surrounded by pearls and greens, Song Duofu must have been too timid, but first there was Zhao Yanheng, the dragon grandson and dragon son in front, and then there was a road to Beijing, how many officials along the way came to pay respects, Song Duofu's heart has been trained, and then to live in the Xuanguo Mansion, it is also an opportunity for Song Duofu to win, Song Duofu rehearsed countless times in his heart for this, this time is not cramped, his cheeks laughed out of two dimples, and he squatted to Zhu Qin, calling him 'Uncle Zhu'.

Zhu Qin looked at Li Fei, he was overjoyed for the first time, and laughed loudly: "I am worried that my father is lonely at home, and it is good to have a friend to accompany you." ”
