"You...... How do you know I bought a pony for my sister?"

In the teahouse, Xie Zhuo jumped up and pointed at Cheng Song, his face full of panic.

Cheng Song sat in the chair and took a slow sip of tea, then raised his head and said with a smile in his dark eyes: "Brother Zhuo, don't get excited, sit down and talk slowly, sit down and talk slowly." ”

Xie Zhuo went to send the Mid-Autumn Festival gift to the Prince's Mansion today, and was intercepted by Cheng Song on the way back!

This time, Cheng Song did not directly say about the gambling, but invited Xie Zhuo to the teahouse for tea.

Xie Zhuo remembered his sister Xie Fuya's reminder to be vigilant and stay away from Cheng Song, but he couldn't stand his civil and military affairs compared to Cheng Song!

In this way, Xie Zhuo was dragged to the teahouse by Cheng Song to drink Laoshizi tea!

Cheng Song said that he didn't gamble with the little guy anymore, and wanted to use horses to gamble. Then he said that he knew that Xie Zhuo had hidden a small pony in the Western Suburbs Horse Farm and was going to give it to Xie Fuya as a birthday gift.

Xie Zhuo spent a lot of effort and money to buy that horse, and he just wanted to surprise his sister! I didn't want to be discovered by Cheng Song's gang! Now I even wanted him to use that pony as gambling money!

"Don't you think about it! I will never gamble with that horse!" Xie Zuo said angrily, "Don't pull me to gamble anymore! I won't bet from now on! Look at what happened to that Cai Sanlang in Chengyibo's Mansion now, still bet?"

Xie Zhuo looked at Cheng Song with a righteous and awe-inspiring look, looking like "don't pull me to learn badly".

Cheng Song turned the teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "The pony that Brother Zhuo bought came from the north, right? But that horse is obviously not a purebred northern pony." Although he will not grow into a tall horse in the future, he will always look bad if he is not half tall or like a donkey or mule, right? ”

What? Xie Zhuo glared at Cheng Song angrily!

When the agreement failed, he began to destroy the pony he bought...... It's infuriating!

Cheng Song raised his eyes to look at the angry Xie Zhuo, and said with a serious expression: "I have been in Xiguan for six or seven years, and I have seen a pure-blooded pony. I don't need to deliberately deceive Brother Zuo for the sake of gambling. I just want to play again before I leave Beijing and go to Beiguan, and I still remember that the first person I made a bet with when I returned to Beijing was you, Brother Zhuo. ”

Xie Zhuo also heard that Cheng Song was going to Beiguan to drive away the invading He Tatars, because Cheng Song wrote a war invitation from his family, and he also made Mrs. Cheng so angry that she fell ill and was whipped by Lu Guogong several times!

Lu Guogong drew Cheng Song's whip not because he was going to Beiguan, but because his actions made the old lady sick, which was really unfilial! After pumping his son, the next day Lu Guogong of the previous dynasty also pleaded guilty to Emperor Xuanwen, and the saint was wise and considerate of the old lady Cheng and Lu Guogong's mood and did not blame him.

Xie Zhuo saw that Cheng Song didn't seem to be lying and deceiving himself, and because he was about to go to Beiguan to protect his family and defend the country, he suppressed his anger and sat opposite Cheng Song.

"Why do you say you always want to make a bet with me?" Xie Zhuo picked up the teacup and said impatiently, "Do you want to avenge me for kicking you into the water in the palace?"

Cheng Song looked at Xie Zhuo and asked very curiously, "Why did you kick me into the water that day?" ”

Xie Zhuo coughed in disguise, put down the teacup and looked out the window and said, "That's it...... It was that day that you walked in front of me, and you looked a little unpleasant. But I should thank you for saving my sister for that. ”

Cheng Song raised his eyebrows, "Is that really the case?"

Xie Zhuo was really bold, and kicked him into the water under the nose of the saint!

Seeing that Cheng Song didn't believe it, with a playful smile on his face, Xie Zhuo bowed his head and drank tea with a weak heart.

"Last time in the Lelu Park Palace, I saw that the county lord of Jingyi was riding an ordinary horse and was also heroic, why didn't Brother Zhuo send a good horse to Sister Ling, but a short pony?" Cheng Song didn't ask anymore, and turned the conversation to the pony again.

Xie Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief, put down the teacup and said: "It is inconvenient for a good horse to be raised in other people's houses, and a good horse is useless if it doesn't run often." I thought it would be good to keep this pony in the garden as a rare beast and watch it. ”

I see, Xie Zuo gave the horses not for riding, but for fun and viewing.

"Cheng Ziyu, have you really seen a pure-blooded pony, what does it look like?" Xie Zhuo thought of Cheng Song saying that his pony blood was not pure, and he wanted to know what a real pure-blooded pony would look like.

Cheng Song hooked his lips and smiled: "The pure-blooded pony has a long mane and hoof hair, and its adult body is the size of a newborn calf. The limbs are thick and well-proportioned......"

Cheng Song gestured with his hand to the appearance of a pure-blooded pony, and the more Xie Zhuo listened, the more he felt that he had really bought an impure pony.

"My sister's birthday is on the sixteenth of next month, can you help me get a pure-blooded pony?" Xie Zhuo looked at Cheng Song with a prayer in his eyes.

"Time is tight, but it's not impossible. Cheng Song said lightly, "It's just ...... On August 20, I will go to Beiguan with the army. ”

"Ahh Xie Zhuo looked disappointed.

Cheng Song lowered his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "However, I can ask my eldest brother to help contact the horse purchase." ”

"Really?" Xie Zhuo's eyes lit up again.

"It's just that I have two conditions. Cheng Song raised two fingers and raised his eyebrows.

"Two pieces?" Xie Zuo stretched his face again, "You only buy me a horse to do one thing, but you want me to promise you two conditions?"

Cheng Song withdrew his hand, "Since Brother Zhuo thinks it's unfair, forget it." ”

"Hey, let's talk about it first! Let's see if I can do it. Xie Zhuo hurriedly recovered.

Cheng Song lifted the pot and poured tea for himself and Xie Zhuo, "First, Brother Zhuo, please tell me the truth why you kicked me into the water in the palace, and second, I want Brother Zhuo to cooperate with me to make a joke to intimidate the county lord of Jingyi." ”

"What? you want to scare my sister?" Xie Zuo's face changed and jumped again, "Cheng Ziyu, don't bully people too much!

Cheng Song put down the flower pot, looked at Xie Zhuo coldly, and said, "Then I, Cheng Ziyu, am I the person you Xie brothers and sisters can play at will?"

Xie Zhuo was a little hairy by Cheng Song's eyes, and stammered a little because of his weak heart: "Who...... Who teased you......"

Cheng Song snorted coldly, "Since Brother Zhuo doesn't agree, then forget it." You just have to give the pony that will grow into a donkey or a mule in the future to the lord of Jingyi County as a birthday gift, and put it in the garden to enjoy. ”

The thought of raising such an ugly thing in the garden made Xie Zhuo feel a headache. I had to sit down again.

"That...... The palace kicked you into the water, in fact, I made a bet with King Yun of the Prince's Mansion, and it depends on your embarrassment. Xie Zhuo touched his nose and said stupidly, "I saw that King Yun was about to push you into the water, so I will do it first...... Kick you into the water with your feet. ”

It is really bad to gamble on other people's embarrassment, Xie Zhuo was just disgusted with Cheng Song at that time, and King Yun of the Prince's Mansion kept pandering, so he did such a thing with a hot head.

Cheng Song, the king of the prince's mansion, did not remember that he had offended the imperial grandson.

Yunwang Zhao Di is the third son of the crown prince, and is also a grandson who is deeply loved by Emperor Xuanwen, who was named King Li'an at the age of seven, changed the title of King Yun'an at the age of eleven, and was renamed King Yun at the age of fifteen last year. Although the difference of one word shows the importance of Zhao Di in the heart of Emperor Xuanwen. The titles of other emperors and grandsons have never changed!

"Then what do you say you want to scare my sister for, and how do you plan to scare her?" Xie Zhuo frowned and said worriedly, "Although my sister is not small, she is not scared, or she is still ......."

"You just don't have to worry about this scare, it's actually just ......" Cheng Song lowered his voice and told Xie Zhuo like this.

Xie Zhuo nodded when he heard this, and finally raised his eyes to look at Cheng Song and said faintly: "You really have a lot of bad water in your stomach! Where did my sister offend you, you want to scare her like this?"

Cheng Song sat up straight, and was silent for a while before he said, "I know that Luo Changsheng and Luo Changshou are twins." ”

"......" Xie Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and then sweat broke out on his back. "Ah, you...... How do you know?"

Cheng Song snorted, "Brother Zhuo also knows what the result will be if thousands of cheats in the casino are exposed, right? I'm just scaring Sister Ling, it's not too much." ”

Thinking of the pony and the handle that Cheng Song caught, Xie Zhuo had to grit his teeth and say, "Okay, then it's up to you!" But you promise not to scare my sister too much, otherwise I won't spare you!"

Cheng Song showed his white teeth and smiled, "Don't worry, it won't." ”

**

Xie Fuya in the Horse Mansion sneezed twice, and Rushi hurriedly handed over the veil.

"The county master should pay attention to his body. Rushi reminded worriedly, "There are stewards in the house who are busy, and you don't have to do everything yourself." ”

Xie Fuya closed the list, wiped her nose with a handkerchief, and said in a slight voice: "I can still do it myself, but I just look at it twice to avoid making mistakes." ”

In the previous life, Xie Fuya was favored before she got married, and Princess Anyang never forced her to learn to be a housekeeper; Therefore, Xie Fuya is a little unfamiliar with the matter of stewardship, and at the same time, she doesn't know which houses her family has dealings with outside, let alone the Cai family.

Thinking about it in this way, Xie Fuya really felt that she had lived in vain in her last life! Fortunately, God gave her a chance to start over, so that she could learn the same.

Through the gift list, it can be seen that the relatives from the family and some families and high-ranking families in Beijing and outside Beijing are estranged, and Xie Fuya was surprised to find that her parents did not avoid suspicion and did not associate with any powerful and civil servants, but many families were indifferent on the surface, but the gifts were very thick!

Among them, the Duke of Lu Guo Mansion is also among the relatives! Princess Anyang gave ten pale pink pearls to the Duchess of Lu Guo this year, which is a very valuable gift, even the favored lady in the palace may not be able to have ten pale pink pearls at the same time!

Xie Fuya felt strange about her mother's friendship with the Duchess of Lu Guo, but she was also glad that there would be such a relationship in her heart! If King Liang still won the throne of the prince and the emperor in the future, then Lu Guogong would be the hero who assisted King Liang to ascend the throne. If King Liang is going to be unfavorable to his own family at that time, he can go and ask the Duchess of Lu Guo to help......

"The slave maid went and ordered the kitchen to boil you ginger water. Rushi heard Xie Fuya speak with a nasal voice, afraid that the master would fall ill again before the Mid-Autumn Festival, so she hurriedly went to the kitchen and ordered to boil ginger water.

Xie Fuya shook her head, feeling that Rushi was making a little fuss.

Princess Anyang went to Chengyibo's Mansion as promised to inquire about the separation, and the reply was whether she could reconcile and leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival, so that it would look better outside. To put it bluntly, Chengyi Bofu thought about a decent Mid-Autumn Festival.

Princess Anyang is not an unreasonable person, so she agreed to allow the other party to bring Xie Fuya and witnesses over on August 17 to reconcile with Cai Chengshan!

As for the Cai family's proposal to rescue Cai Chengchuan first and go home to reunite with his family for the Mid-Autumn Festival, Princess Anyang replied with a sneer: "If he leaves the book for a day, Cai Sanlang will stay in prison for one more day." If the saint is in a bad mood during this period, he directly orders death, then there is no way to do it. ”

As soon as these words came out, the fifth wife howled and cried, knelt down in front of the second master and the second wife, and begged them to let Cai Chengshan and Xie Fuya reconcile quickly!

Princess Anyang was too lazy to take a second look at the chaos in Chengyibo's mansion, and took people back to the Horse Mansion.

Xie Fuya really showed signs of illness, and after drinking the ginger water, she lay on the bed dizzy. I heard my mother say that Chengyi Bofu had to wait until after the Mid-Autumn Festival to be willing to leave, and I was very upset!

"You just have to recuperate with peace of mind, and the affairs of the house and the affairs of reconciliation will be taken care of. Princess Anyang patted Xie Fuya's somewhat hot soft hand distressedly, "There are some things that are not in a hurry to learn for a while, and when you are well, my mother will send a grandmother to teach you." ”

It turned out that her mother looked at her efforts to learn to manage things, and the reason why she didn't guide or dissuade her was to let her experience it herself, and then let people guide and teach experience!

Xie Fuya felt the painstaking work of Princess Anyang, sniffed and said, "Mother, you are so good." ”

Princess Anyang smiled: "How old are you, and you still love to be coquettish like this." ”

Xie Fuya's illness did not gradually improve until the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, only the nose was not very ventilated, and the fever symptoms subsided.

Because there will be lanterns on the main street of Beijing on the 15th and 16th of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there will be lotus lanterns on the riverside to make wishes, so the people are looking forward to the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival on the 15th and 16th.

Xie Fuya was no exception, she thought that it was the heavens that heard her prayers that the heat faded the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, every household hangs up the lanterns during the day, and then begins to prepare meals, prepare dishes and wine, prepare to eat food while admiring the moon at night, and finally go to the street to see the lights after eating and drinking!

Xie Fuya sat at a table with her parents and brother to eat cakes and admire the moon, and then worshiped the moon in the courtyard by herself, before changing her clothes and preparing to go out with her brother Xie Zuo to enjoy the lanterns and put the lanterns.

Xie Fuya wore a goose yellow dress, combed a simple hanging bun, and decorated with silk flowers and pearls, simple and elegant.

Xie Zhuo was dressed much more elegantly tonight, wearing a moon-white tunic shirt that looked polite and polite, quite like his father Xie Wu when he was young.

After bidding farewell to their parents, the brother and sister left the Horse Mansion and got off the carriage at the entrance of Huadeng Street. Because of the large number of people enjoying the lanterns on the lantern street, horse-drawn carriages were not allowed to enter. No matter how noble a person is, he has to get out of the car and walk.

Xie Fuya's long-awaited Mid-Autumn Festival lanterns, after getting out of the car, she pulled Rushi into the crowd, and Xie Zhuo almost didn't follow them.

"Sister, slow down!" Xie Zuo shouted, "Don't get separated!"

Xie Fuya waved her hand to indicate that she knew, and Xie Zhuo squeezed to follow, afraid that she would lose her sister.

Lights are hung on the shops along the street, and there are some vendors selling lamps on poles. The poles are full of all kinds of lanterns, as well as lotus lanterns that can be put into the river to make wishes.

Xie Fuya has been looking for the double rabbit lamp that he saw in his previous life. But in the previous life, she was not in a high mood when she traveled to the light street, and she walked on the street in despair, not paying attention to where she saw the double rabbit lantern.

After walking along the street for a long time, my feet were sore, and Xie Fuya didn't see the double rabbit light!

Could it be that because of her rebirth, she won't be able to find those rabbit lights in this life?

Xie Fuya's heart flashed with disappointment and discomfort, and she stood still and looked around.

Originally, I also wanted to find a craftsman to make one according to the double rabbit lamp in my memory, but Xie Fuya felt that it was different. It's not the feeling of fateful encounter in the previous life......

"County Lord, what are you looking for?" Rushi was also very tired, seeing the master's expression of loss, he couldn't help but ask with concern, "Are you tired, do you want to find a place to rest?"

Xie Fuya retracted her gaze, shook her head and said, "No, let's go to the river and put the lotus lantern and go back." ”

If she can't meet those rabbit lamps in this life, she will ask the craftsman to make one tomorrow, and make one every year in the future!

"Huh, what about Uncle?" Rushi turned around to find Xie Zhuo, but found that the person who was originally following behind her was gone!

Xie Fuya put away her lost mind and turned to look, and sure enough, she didn't see her brother Xie Zhuo! A bad feeling rose in her heart, could it be that King Liang's people kidnapped Xie Zhuo?

"Brother, brother!" Xie Fuya shouted in panic!

There are more and more people watching the lights on the street, and the noise is also very loud, and the voices of Xie Fuya and Rushi are drowned out in the human voices and cannot be heard clearly!

Xie Fuya panicked and walked around, shouting and looking for Xie Zhuo! But not only Xie Zhuo was gone, but even the big Yang and Xiao Yang beside him were gone!

After squeezing in the crowd for a long time, Xie Fuya was already panting and sweating. She couldn't walk, so she had to stop and breathe, and looked around a little unwillingly.

Suddenly, Xie Fuya saw the twin rabbit lights!

The two rabbits stand with their paws facing each other, as if they are playing and fighting! Although they are not very delicate, they are full of childlike fun. Isn't this the double rabbit lamp she saw in her previous life?

Xie Fuya walked over and stood in front of the stall in a daze, looking at the pair of rabbit lanterns.

The stall host was spiritual, and hurriedly took off the double rabbit lamp and handed it to Xie Fuya, "This lady likes this pair of rabbit lanterns, the price is not expensive, as long as twenty-five wen." ”

Twenty-five Wen is not cheap for ordinary people, but after all, it is a festival, and the little lady in front of her does not look like a female dependent of ordinary people, so the vendor called this price.

Xie Fuya took the double rabbit lantern and looked at it, and was sure that this was the lantern she liked at a glance in her previous life!

"Boss, I'll leave you a fixed amount of five yuan, can you come and pick it up later?" Xie Fuya discussed with the vendor.

"Of course, of course. "If the little lady doesn't come to get it, he will still earn five cents for nothing."

Xie Fuya asked Rushi to give the vendor a fixed amount of money, telling him that he would definitely come to pick it up later, and now she was going to find someone. After speaking, she took Rushi and squeezed into the crowd to find Xie Zhuo.

The vendor happily put away the five cents, and then prepared to put the double rabbit lantern under the stall.

"Boss, I want your rabbit lanterns. A crisp voice sounded in front of the stall.

The vendor was stunned for a moment and looked up. I saw a handsome young man wearing a crimson moire bearded lapel robe, black gold thread bracer sleeves, and a silver crown on his head, standing in front of the stall, looking at him with a smile.

"Uh...... This lord, this pair of rabbit lamps has been set by a little lady, and people will come to pick it up later. Why don't you look at the other lights?" said the vendor.

Cheng Song pointed to the double rabbit lamp in the vendor's hand and said firmly: "I only need this double rabbit lamp, you can tell you a price!"

The vendor was a little hesitant, but he had received the money from the little lady......

"Do you sell it for a tael of silver?" Cheng Song asked.

One...... A tael of silver? The vendor's eyes widened when he heard this! How could these coarse lanterns of bamboo and papier-mâché be sold for a tael of silver? They were worth more than those delicate lanterns that were made of fine gauze and had a painter painted!

"This lord, it's not that the villain doesn't sell you, and it's not a matter of money, it's ......" The vendor is still struggling.

A piece of silver ingots was thrown on the vendor's stall, and Cheng Song said lightly, "No need to look for it." ”

The silver ingots looked like they were full of two or two! The vendor's eyes were straight! Unconsciously he stretched out his hand and handed out the double rabbit lantern.

Cheng Song smiled and took the double rabbit lantern and turned to leave.

When the vendor came back to his senses, he had firmly grasped the silver ingots with one hand, and the other hand was empty, where was there a double rabbit lamp!

Cheng Song carried the double rabbit lamp back to the restaurant where he drank before, and several companions who went out together today saw that he really came back with a lantern, and he was not angry with a clumsy person to leave, so they were all relieved.

"Ziyu, how did you buy such a rough lantern and come back?" one of his companions laughed, "but it looks like a coincidence." ”

Cheng Song put the lantern aside, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all, and then said to everyone present, "Everyone, I'm missing!"

"Huh, Ziyu, are you leaving, this wine is ......" The companion wanted to stay, but Cheng Song had already gone downstairs without looking back with the lantern.

Xie Fuya searched for a long time but didn't find Xie Zhuo, she thought with a fluke mentality: Could it be that my brother couldn't find me either, so I went to the river where the lotus lanterns were put first?

"Rushi, let's go to the river to look for it. If you can't find it, go home immediately!" said Xie Fuya, regaining her spirits.

The master and servant hurried to the river where the lights were on, and before they reached the riverbank, they heard someone in front of them shouting "There is a fight".

Xie Fuya hurriedly walked a few steps, only to see a group of people around the wall discussing and pointing something, she squeezed forward and grabbed a middle-aged woman and asked, "Auntie, what's wrong?"

The woman looked back, and saw that it was a beautiful little lady, and then she persuaded, "Don't go over and put on the lamp, there are a few people who are doing their fists and kicks there!

Several people fight three people?

Xie Fuya's heart tightened, and she pushed away the crowd and squeezed forward!

Squeezing to the front to take a look, Xie Fuya saw that there was indeed a group of people fighting on the bank of the river where the lights were placed! Looking at it by the bright moonlight, one of them was wearing a moon-white tunic robe, and his dodge movements were slightly clumsy......

"Brother!" exclaimed!

The one who was surrounded and beaten was Xie Zhuo!

"County Lord, you can't step forward!" Rushi grabbed Xie Fuya, who was about to rush over, "Danger!"
