Xin Xiran didn't return home for a long time, and Yuan was in a hurry, so he asked the maid to go to the gate several times to see. After the maid ran for the fifth time, she finally saw the young master walking around the courtyard from Xiao Wall, and she was overjoyed at the moment, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Young master, Madam has been worried about you for a long time, and the slave maid is waiting for the young master here, saying that as soon as you come back, please ask the young master to go to the room." ”

Since the last time he ran away from home, Yuan's has become a frightened bird, and he is worried about the slightest accident, Xin Xiran has something in his heart, and he wanted to go directly to the old man, but he has not spoken to the old man recently, and after thinking about it, he went to the room to see Yuan.

Yuan Shi was worried about him, he didn't eat a few bites of lunch, and the dinner also made the people not busy passing it, and he was sighing in the house, and when he heard Xin Xiran calling her, the sorrow on his face was immediately swept away, and he quickly got up and walked out, while telling the maid to pass the dinner.

"Why have you been out for so long, what are you going to do, who have you met?" Yuan Shi pulled Xin Xiran and walked to the back room, asking as he walked.

Xin Xiran shouted helplessly: "Mother---- may not be able to report everything to the child every time in the future." The child said, went to see a friend, and after a long time of not seeing him, he talked more, and didn't he come back. ”

Yuan's eyes were red as he spoke, and he choked up: "Half a month after you ran away, your mother's life was almost gone, don't do stupid things in the future, otherwise your mother will follow you every day." ”

"Good---- not again. Xin Xiran comforted Yuan, and it happened that the maids had dinner one after another, and there was also a place to eat in the back room, so Yuan didn't let him go to the dining room anymore.

Xin Xiran took two bites, and suddenly said with a little dejected: "Mother---- child has something to ask for help." ”

Yuan hurriedly put down his chopsticks: "It's okay to say something, you are my child, my mother naturally did it for you, why are you so embarrassed?"

Xin Xiran sighed slightly, put down his chopsticks, and felt a little uncomfortable: "Dad, he -----"

Yuan immediately understood, and couldn't help laughing: "Your father is asking about your situation every day, but you don't give your father a good face, and my mother has also heard your father tell you the truth, child, it's not that my mother said you, a country girl, you want as many mothers as you want, don't deal with that girl in the future, otherwise you will be the one who suffers." ”

Xin Xiran showed a little displeasure, but he couldn't bear to say anything, he knew that his father and mother cared about this, and it was useless to argue at this time, so he said again: "The child wants to see his father, but ----"

"Mother knows, your father has been in the study since the end of the court, and even lunch is eaten in the study, I just let people stew pigeon soup, you will go with me to send it to your father later. ”

Xin Xiran said hello, after the mother and son finished eating, the maid came over with a cup of pigeon soup, Yuan opened it and smelled it, and nodded, "Let's go." ”

The two came to the door of the study, and the left and right servants saluted and said hello, and Yuan asked, "The master hasn't come out all afternoon?"

"Didn't come out. The little guy replied honestly.

Xin Zhongqiao ordered no one to enter when he entered the study, and lunch and dinner were also sent directly to the study, although Yuan didn't understand the affairs of the court, but he also knew that there was most of the matter at this time.

"Open the door. She commanded.

The little servant only hesitated for a moment, then obediently opened the door, Yuan and Xin Xiran both walked into the room, and Yuan took the lead in speaking: "Master, you have been busy for a day, it's time to rest for a while, what can happen if you are tired." ”

Xin Zhongqiao looked up and saw that Xin Xiran was also following behind, and snorted angrily: "Why is he here, didn't he have to take a detour when he saw me a few days ago." ”

Xin Xiran was embarrassed, and stepped forward to admit his mistake: "Daddy, don't be angry, the child suffered a lot of blows a few days ago, and he knew that what he did was wrong, and he didn't know how to face his father for a while, so he deliberately hid." ”

"Hmph--- what's the matter today, you know that you admit your mistake?" Xin Zhongqiao obviously didn't accept this, and his eyes were full of doubt.

Yuan hurriedly said: "The child came to see you, the master will say a few words, you two talk well, I will go back first." As he spoke, he winked at Xin Xiran, and ordered the maid to put down the pigeon soup before leaving.

Xin Xiran waited for Yuan to go out, then sat down on the stool on the side, hesitated for a moment, and choked up a little when he spoke: "Dad, the child knows that he is wrong, the child should not run away from home to worry his father, the child is really unfilial, and I hope that the father will forgive the child this time." ”

What he said was sincere, Xin Zhong was a little moved on the bridge, although his tone was still not angry, but he couldn't see that he was angry: "You know that you admit your mistake, the sun should hit the west tomorrow." ”

Xin Xiran smiled, seeing that the old man was no longer angry, he returned to his previous appearance, and said with a smile: "It's good that Dad is not angry, in fact, although the child has suffered a lot this time, he has also learned a lot, and he also wants to grow up, but the child has not laid any foundation before, so I came to ask my father for advice." ”

"How do you want to grow?" Xin Zhongqiao looked at Xin Xiran suspiciously, and his face was already judgmental and questioning: "Who did you go to see today?"

Xin Xiran's heart was pounding, thinking of the words he heard during the day, and then thinking of Qiu Ji's request for himself, he instantly had the illusion that he was doing something big, and it was still under the nose of the old man.

He was a little panicked in his heart, and said with a smile on his face: "Daddy has great powers, don't you know who the child went to see?"

Xin Zhongqiao's face was not good-looking, "I'm asking you, not you asking me." ”

Although it was certain that he would have to suffer a few times when he met Qiu Ji alone, Xin Xiran didn't plan to hide it, so he honestly explained the matter of the two meeting and drinking, but what they talked about was only reminiscing.

Xin Zhongqiao snorted: "You know how to be honest." After a change of words, he said strongly: "You are not allowed to meet him in the future, you know that I am at odds with his father, don't make trouble for me." ”

Xin Xiran agreed with his face, and only stared at Xin Zhongqiao's desk. Seeing that he wasn't leaving, Xin Zhongqiao asked again, "What's the matter?"

Xin Xiran stood up and walked over, his eyes glanced at the booklet on the desk, because it was upside down, he couldn't see what was written, but he just glanced at it roughly, then retracted his gaze and said, "Daddy, you tell the child about the court." ”

Xin Zhongqiao glared at him: "You know what things are in the court, don't ask useless, if you really have the heart, read more books, it will win glory for me." ”

Xin Xidye still needs to be sharpened again, seeing that the old man has already lowered his head and started to do things, he knows that this is not the way, and he must not be able to ask, and the old man looks at him squarely.

Where did Qiu Ji hear so much news? and knew such a confidential thing, he was puzzled, thinking that Qiu Ji must have heard it from his father, so he thought that he would simply come and ask the old man.

It's just that ---- look at the situation, and I can't ask anything. He had to get up, "The boy is gone." ”

Xin Zhongqiao just hummed and didn't raise his head.

Xin Xiran turned around unwillingly, walked to the door, and then had to step out.

No---- how can I know the list of the batch in Qiu Ji's mouth? Or do I want to hide outside the door and eavesdrop on the next time the military department book comes? But even if I don't consider whether I can hear it clearly, there have always been small servants guarding the door, and eavesdropping will not work at all.

Xin Xiran lay on the bed staring at the bed curtain and shook his head unconsciously, thinking of several methods, all of which he denied one by one.

Fushimi walked over, "Young master, let's sleep." ”

Xin Xiran was irritable in his heart, so he simply closed his eyes and hummed, Fushimi blew out the lamp and retreated, the room was quiet and dark, he opened his eyes again, and suddenly called out to Fushimi, who had not gone far.

Fushimi hurriedly came back and lit the lamp: "What's wrong with the young master?
