Chapter Seventy-One: Family Affairs

It's night, Qi Wangfu, study. [Latest chapter reading.]

The court meeting lasted all day, and Xu Jin returned to the palace in the evening, and after a hasty dinner, he habitually came to the study.

I didn't expect the study to be already occupied.

Xu Heng sat quietly in it, with pen, ink, paper and inkstone beside him, and a pile of manuscript paper in front of him, writing hard.

The door was opened silently, but it was still noticed by Xu Heng, and the man in the gorgeous costume looked up and smiled at his brother: "I'm back." ”

"Hmm. Xu Jin closed the door and walked into the study, came to the table, did not look for a place to read and write, but looked at his younger brother who was concentrating on writing, and said with a smile, "I actually changed my clothes, Xiaoyi or Su Su?"

Xu Heng's hand stopped: "Su Su." After a pause, he said, "The previous body was Xiaoyi, but later I got dirty, so Su Su found me another one." After saying that, he sighed deeply, and really felt that this body was not as comfortable as the original clothes.

"It's good, at least Su Su is starting to show interest in you. Xu Jin seemed to know the situation around Xu Heng well, and he was extremely skillful in speaking, "It's always a dull character like a mud bodhisattva, which is not good for you." ”

"Brother?!" Xu Heng looked up in surprise, his heart was full of surprise, "You shouldn't have seen Su Su yet, how do you know everything?"

Xu Jin shrugged his shoulders and put the two books with cyan covers in his hand on the table: "Xiao Ji told me." ”

"Xiao Ji hasn't seen her either!"

"You don't know that Xiao Xi and Xiao Yi have a good relationship, so with Xiao Xi's cleverness, it's not easy to find out the news when chat......ting;

Xu Heng was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say. After a while, he lowered his head, looked at the rice paper he had written more than half of, and smiled: "In less than a year, how can Xiao Xi change so much." Didn't you just eat and drink well, sleep well, and make your own little calculations before the sky fell and ignored it?"

"It hasn't changed much either, it all happened after you came back. ”

"After I come back?" Xu Heng couldn't laugh or cry, "How can this be." ”

"Cleverness is mistaken by cleverness, mainly because I suddenly heard that you brought back two big and one little girls, and of course, I guess there is also Bo Jian's provocation. Although Xu Jin didn't care too much, he still guessed the truth of part of the facts, "And tonight she told me so many things about Su Su and Tingxue, and the main meaning of them was to express her chagrin at the mistake of last night's action. ”

My own personal maid has so many ideas...... Xu Heng didn't know what to say, so he could only be silent.

"However, I think it's more likely that Xiao Xi did all these things planned: she had planned to be attached to me, and her chagrin at dinner just now was just to find an excuse to tell me about the girls around you. ”

Xu Heng thought for a while and said, "Show your own value?"

"Pretty much. Xu Jin had no aversion to the scheming of the maids around him, and even admired it a little, "Pass or above." ”

"Brother, do you know that you are more suitable for the Bladeless Heavy Sword than Pu Feng. Xu Heng said seriously.

"It's a pity that I don't like martial arts, and I don't like rivers and lakes. Xu Jin smiled and looked at the manuscript that Xu Heng was standing on, "Report?"

"That's right," Xu Heng re-polished the ink on the inkstone, stained it with ink, and put it back on top of the rice paper, "I finished writing it today, and I will send it to the Jianghu Division tomorrow, which can be regarded as handing in the first report of the year." It's New Year's Day, and there are a lot of things, and if it's too late, I'm afraid I'll delay the debriefing until the next year. ”

"Hmm. Are you going to leave after the year?" Xu Jin keenly grasped the information revealed in Xu Heng's words, "Don't stay for a while?" You must know that after you left at the beginning of this year, my father missed you very much. ”

"It's safe and comfortable to live in the palace, I want to stay for a few more days," Xu Heng tugged at his collar and said half-truthfully, "It's just that this dress is really unaccustomed to wearing." ”

It was obviously perfunctory, Xu Heng was reluctant to say, so Xu Jin didn't ask, and talked about another thing: "Father said that he would come back tomorrow afternoon to see you, as well as the daughter-in-law and newly found sister you brought back." ”

"Daughter-in-law?" Rao is this is already a ** inseparable thing, but Xu Heng was suddenly choked when he heard these three words, and said after a long time, "Father used this sentence earlier." ”

Completely ignoring the key points in the words just now, and entangled in the minutiae, Xu Jin sighed in his heart: Xu Heng was a little concerned and messed up.

He took the words, without showing a trace of disappointment, and said: "Father said that he and General Su in Xijing passed the letter, and General Su said that he was very satisfied with your son-in-law, and suggested that his father set a date earlier, so that he could get married earlier, and he wanted to hold his grandson......"

Xu Heng was speechless. It was true that he liked to be with Su Su, but he never expected to get married so soon. In his opinion, the matter of being married to Su Su was so far away that he didn't have to think about it at all, but he didn't expect this matter to come to his eyes all of a sudden.

"After all, Su Su is already in the prime of life, and ordinary women may have become mothers by this time, so it is normal for General Su to be anxious. ”

Xu Heng was anxious: "Then why can't I get married before my eldest brother!"

"I'm almost there, my father is planning a marriage for me recently, and it is estimated that I will get married next year. Xu Jin's face was calm, he was not as afraid of getting married as Xu Heng, he leaned over and patted Xu Heng's shoulder, "Xu Heng, getting married is something every man has to do, there is no need to be afraid." ”

"I'm not afraid, I just feel a little too anxious. Xu Heng picked up the brush again and began to continue writing the report, "I'll write the report first, and it's best to finish it tonight." “

"Hmm. Xu Jin nodded, and began to look through the books he brought.

Time passed, the two of them wrote and looked, each other was speechless, the study was silent, and time flew by.

It was already late at night when Xu Heng finished writing.

Put down the brush in his hand, stretched on the backrest, cleaned up the papers on the table, arranged them in order, and looked at Xu Jin opposite.

"Brother, I want to ask you seriously, what do you think of the rivers and lakes?"

Xu Jin happened to finish reading a book in his hand, raised his head, and met Xu Heng's gaze: "Warring States Han Feizi said in "Five Worms": 'Confucianism uses literature to disrupt the law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban. ’”

The elegant man in the white robe closed the book in his hand, revealing a cyan cover, and the words "Five Worms" on it were eye-catching.

"I see the same thing as the ancients. Xu Jin said softly.

Xu Heng's heart was cold.

"However, if you want to change my opinion," Xu Jin smiled at his brother, "then write it in the wordless book and show it to me." ”
