Xiang Fu returned to work in Xiaofenglou, and his younger brother Xiang Shen went to Tianjin to go to university, most of his mission was completed, just waiting to see Xiang Shen start a family after studying, if he could have a son and a half daughter, in this way, he would be complete.

As for whether he had any plans to get married again, Huai'an asked him, and he replied that he was probably ominous, or not to harm others.

He has always thought so, he is not yet thirty years old, but his parents have died one after another, his wife has also died of illness, the child can not be found, and his younger brother is still safe.

When he said this, Xiang Shen hadn't left yet, he kept holding Xiang Shen and saying, "You have to live well." ”

That look made Xiang Shen's heart rise and fall, as if he was not going to university, but a sea of swords and fire.

Huai'an also comforted beside him: "Students are relatively safe with the protection of the school. ”

"But he has to finish his studies sooner or later, who will protect him after he finishes learning, by the way, brother, what do you want to do after school, or ......"

"If you don't come back and stay by my brother's side" This sentence has not yet been spoken, but seeing Xiang Shen's body, he said loudly: "This body promises the country, and I will go wherever I am needed at that time, Qingshan will eventually have a place to bury my bones, and I will not hesitate to sacrifice my life for the country!"

The words burying bones and donating one's body made Xiang Fu's hand loosen, and the whole person was stunned.

Huai'an had no choice but to continue to persuade: "Maybe, it will be too peaceful in a few years." ”

Naturally, this statement was completely unfulfilled.

However, Xiang Fu still let his younger brother go, his future did not dare to delay, this is his attitude to learn from his father, even if he is worried to the extreme, he still can't interfere with his choice.

After his younger brother left, he ran to the temple outside the city to ask for a hexagram for himself, the hexagram really said that he was a lone star, he returned depressed, sighed in front of Huai'an and Siqing, Siqing comforted him: "How can you believe it all, you forgot, didn't my aunt say, when I was born, some people said that the Meng family was broken from then on, but now the Meng family is not nothing, you see, Huan'er has grown so big." ”

Xiang Fu said: "I'm really not prejudiced, but in the countryside, inheritance is considered to be a boy's business, and it is also counted if you marry a girl and have a child, that is also to give birth to a boy, Huan'er is a girl, and the Meng family now seems to us to have no descendants." ”

He was in a bad mood, so he didn't pay so much attention to what he said, and continued straightforwardly: "The most serious person who should inherit the lineage must be the third young master, but isn't the third young master not in good health all the time, who knows how he ...... Hey, I'm talking, I hope he recovers soon, but if he recovers, he may not get married and have children soon, so let's settle for the second, if the third young master has no children, then the only ones born to you girls can count, eldest lady...... Maybe she won't marry again, in fact, I think it's good that she is alone now and doesn't have to cater to others...... Also, your fifth lady has gone completely again, and eighty percent of you will not come back in this life, speaking of which, sister, you can also spread the branches and leaves for the Meng family. ”

These words returned to the issue that Siqing and Huai'an had argued about before, the two glanced at each other and resonated, Siqing smiled and said to Xiang Fu: "Since I walked out of the Meng family with my husband, they will no longer regard me as the Meng family, and the matter of the child is not in our plan yet." ”

"But you are really bleeding the blood of the Meng family, this is not pretending, they don't recognize it, you are also the Meng family. Xiang Fu said this, glanced at Huai'an, realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly stopped the words below.

Huai'an smiled and disagreed: "It's not a shame to be stained with the fame of the Meng family for more than 20 years, but I'm proud." ”

Even so, Xiang Fu was still embarrassed to continue, he muttered in a low voice: "Obviously, the Meng family's fame for so many years has relied on you, if there was no support from Lafayette in those years, do you think they would still be able to operate?"

Then he hurriedly got up and went to work.

Life gradually calmed down.

Siqing took the lead in thinking, it is necessary to let the neighbors have no prejudice against them, everyone looks down and does not look up, and it is really unpleasant to always dodge and dodge like this.

She spent several days visiting her neighbors, showing their innocent identities to others, for fear that they would not believe it, she abandoned all the silk and satin, and spent her days in the market with these neighbors, and with them she was in charge of a family's firewood, rice, oil and salt.

The effect is still there, when she bargained with others for a few shallots, several neighbors on the spot were finally relieved: "Which traitor lives such a life, did we misunderstand?"

Neighbors are finally getting friendlier, and it's common for them to move around each other.

For Siqing, it is a very comfortable thing to open the door in the early morning and see a few smiling faces.

However, less than two days after this comfortable day, her efforts were beaten back to square one.

On this day, she pushed open the door, and instead of seeing a familiar smile, she saw a familiar color.

Huang Chengcheng, shining on her eyes hurt.

What are these guards doing here?

No, is it their master again?

He swept through the crowd sullenly, fortunately he didn't see the little boy, and was about to ask them why they came, but saw that from among them, a little eunuch with broken steps came out, holding the same yellow and clear scroll, and came to her: "There is a decree in the saint, please accept the decree from Young Master Meng." ”

Before she could respond, the neighbor next to her immediately pushed open the door of his house, saw this magnificence, and tacitly agreed with each other: "Look, they have never been good people, they have all said that they have already taken refuge in the powerful, and they still want to pose as ordinary people in front of us, hum, I don't know what the idea is, I will have less contact with them in the future!"

She was anxious and defended herself: "We really don't know what these people are doing!"

Seeing that she was sincere, others pondered for a while and shook slightly: "Really?"

"Really. ”

"That'...... Did you have any tricks on these guards?"

"What is this...... Siqing was hesitating to say when suddenly another group of people poured into the narrow alleyway.

The group was dressed in red coats, and the yellow tassels on their chests swayed in an orderly manner with their neat steps.

The neighbors, who were supposed to be closed, gathered around again, their eyes widening.

It's not to blame them for being strange, it's mainly that this team of people is too conspicuous, and even ...... Their abnormal appearance is even more eye-catching than the guards in bright yellow coats next to them.

Blue-eyed and white-skinned, he looked exactly like the foreign envoy, Lord Burchard.

Now, the neighbors fried the pot, and they refused to listen to the explanation, Qi Qi glanced at Siqing: "I also said that you are innocent, even the foreigners have hooked up, it is really for nothing to see you, if you believe your nonsense in the future, we are all lackeys!"

They really closed the door this time, Si Qing raised her hand in a panic, and it was too late to explain.

Of course, she didn't have anything to explain, and she didn't know why these two teams of people appeared in their small courtyard.

When the little eunuch looked at the team around her, he opened his mouth for her, and asked, "What is Lord Burhard doing when he comes to find Young Master Meng?"

The other party was half-sandwiched in English, and he stammered, but the people around him understood.

What he said was that Burchard loved porcelain and wanted to ask Huai'an to be his art advisor to help him appreciate and design porcelain.

Without waiting for Siqing to react, the little eunuch listened to it and immediately had an opinion: "If I remember correctly, Young Master Meng said in front of the foreign envoy last time that the porcelain craft must not be passed on. ”

"But Young Master Meng also said that art knows no borders. The other party replied solemnly, "Didn't your emperor also take a fancy to his talent and want to hire him?"

The little eunuch laughed: "The saint does not covet his talent, our emperor is like-minded with him, and he specially came to give the official." ”

The blue-eyed foreigner didn't understand where his superiority came from, and it was clear that the purpose of their coming today was similar, to invite the people in this courtyard back.

Siqing figured out their intentions, although it was not easy to deal with, but there were no danger factors after all, so she went back to the house and called Huai'an.

At this time, Huai'an was concentrating on studying "Color Miscellaneous", when he was really attentive, he had the ability to forget to sleep and eat, and his ears did not hear the things outside the window, and it was noisy outside, and he didn't hear it at all.

When Siqing came to call him, he walked out of the door and saw that the two teams of people were greeting him, he was first startled, and then he was amused.

"I say......" he said to the blue eyes first, "where have you not found anyone who knows porcelain, what are you doing here?"

"We adults think that Young Master Meng, you are very interesting. The other party replied.

"Huh?" These words made the little eunuch next to him anxious, not only robbing their people, but also robbing their words.

The blue eyes said again: "Moreover, my lord said, he is your savior, and you are the most particular about repaying your kindness, and you should not refuse." ”

If you have it, it's not interesting to restrain it with morality, the little eunuch sneered, and said with a smile at Huai'an: "Presumably Young Master Meng already knows that it is my master who really saved your life." ”

"But it was your emperor's people who arrested people. Blue Eyes immediately retorted.

The little eunuch was so stunned that he was speechless for a while.

The two of them stopped arguing and turned their eyes to Huai'an.

Huai'an stared at the little eunuch, remembering that one of the things that the emperor said he wanted to give him last time was this.

Glory and wealth seem to be at your fingertips in front of him, he is not a noble person who regards money as dung, if he hadn't been in the officialdom for a few years, he might have really been interested in wandering around it, but now that he is out of it, he understands it thoroughly, and if he goes in again, he will not be so easy to get out.

Many people have said that he is not an official, and he himself thinks so.

He sighed slightly, feeling that the emperor might as well send some gold and silver directly.

As for the other side, he didn't even have to look at it, and gave the eviction order in euphemism.

Although the blue-eyed task was not completed, he was still curious: "Since Young Master Meng has no intention of being an official, he must want to devote himself to your porcelain art, our lord has provided you with such a rare opportunity, how can you refuse?"

"In our people, that's the opportunity, where outsiders are, I don't want to work hard for outsiders. ”

The other party half understood, but Burchard had told him to be polite, and they couldn't force it, so they had to leave in disappointment.

Huai An watched them drift away, and asked curiously about the little eunuch who was not moving: "Why don't you leave?"

The little eunuch shook his head helplessly and handed him the holy decree in his hand.
