Zao Zao sent three baskets of crabs, and finally arrived in Ho City after four days.

Yuxi got the news and immediately went to the front yard.

When Mama Quan saw Yuxi, her old face was full of smiles: "Princess, this is something that the big county lord specially sent back to give you food." "The lord of the county is really a filial child.

Yuxi looked at the hairy crabs in the three baskets, all of them were big, fat, blue-shelled, white-bellied, golden-clawed, and yellow-haired, and a smile appeared on his face: "This kid, it's too wasteful." "The shipping cost of these three baskets of hairy crabs can cost a hundred taels of silver, which is really expensive.

Mama Quan looked at Yuxi's expression, how could she not know that she was duplicitous: "Eat steamed hairy crabs at noon." ”

Yuxi smiled, the palace left half a basket, sent half a basket to the Han family, and the other two baskets were rewarded to the Feng family and the Du family and other generals who were leading troops to fight outside.

At noon, Brother Hao and Liu Er also came over for lunch. Brother You saw two plates of hairy crabs on the table, and said with a smile: "Mother, I heard on the way that the eldest sister sent crabs back for us to eat." Mother, the eldest sister only sent a few crabs back, but didn't send anything else?"

Yuxi turned his head and asked with a smile, "What do you want your eldest sister to give you?"

Brother You said: "I heard that there are excellent teas in Suzhou, as well as Taihu pearls and all kinds of silk satin, why didn't the eldest sister come back on the hour? ”

Brother Xuan asked with a confused expression: "Why must pearls be missing?"

Brother You threw a stupid look at Brother Xuan, and said, "The pearl can be ground into powder and can be applied to the face, just so that my mother can use it!"

Yu Xiwaner: "I don't know, when your eldest sister comes back, you can ask her yourself, or write to her later, why don't you come back on the hour." ”

Brother You muttered, "Forget it." Ask the eldest sister why don't I go to the market and buy a box of pearls for my mother and come back. "If you write a letter and ask, you will find a scolding, and if you ask in person, you will provoke a beating, and it will not be good in any way.

When Brother Hao heard this, he said: "Mother, since the third brother has this filial piety, let's fulfill him!"

Brother You didn't expect his eldest brother to help him, so he looked at Yuxi expectantly and said, "Mother, I can go buy pearls for you in the afternoon, okay?" The triplets will also go out, but not as many times as Zao Zao and Brother Hao.

Yuxi nodded and said, "Yes, but you can't go until you finish practicing." "It's good for sons to have filial piety, but they can't be made to think that they can avoid learning in this way.

Brother Rui said happily: "Mother, then we won't come back for dinner at night, just eat out." "Although the food cooked by Mama Bai is delicious, the snacks outside are also different.

Yuxi smiled and nodded: "You can't leave your homework until tomorrow, you have to come back and write your homework before dark." ”

Brother You wanted to go out early, so he discussed with Master Gong, hoping to get out of class half an hour early today. Master Gong didn't agree, Brother You thought for a while and said, "Master, do you think this is good, let's leave half an hour early today, and wait for Ming'er to make up for it twice." ”

Master Gong actually likes Brother You very much, although he is naughty, this child is smart: "What are you going to do when you leave half an hour early?"

Brother Xuan said: "We are going to buy pearls for my mother." ”

Brother You hurriedly added: "My mother knows about this and promised to let us go out to buy pearls." "If my mother didn't agree, Master Gong would definitely not let them go out.

Confirming that this was true, Master Gong readily agreed: "Yes, class will be out half an hour early today." "The three children are filial, and he, who is a master, is also happy to watch.

As soon as it was dark, the triplets returned. The three brothers held a small box and said happily: "Mother, this is the pearl we bought for you." ”

Opening the box, Yuxi looked at the pearls inside and asked with a smile, "How much did you spend to buy it?"

Brother Xuan said: "Mother, the boss offered a thousand taels, and the elder brother counteroffered six hundred taels." "The triplets don't have any money, so they have accumulated a lot of silver and gold and silver for the New Year. The three of them got together, and six hundred taels was still no problem.

Yuxi deliberately showed a look of surprise and said, "Yo, my family Ayou will still make a counteroffer? Who did you learn from this?"

Ayou also said proudly: "The eldest sister said to go shopping, and cut half the price first." However, the five hundred taels of the shopkeeper will not be sold, and he can only add another one hundred taels. Mother, you ask Sister Meilan to take it to grind the powder for you, and I'll apply it later. ”

Yuxi shook his head and said, "The grinding powder is made of flawed or small pearls. The pearls you buy are not only big but also very round, and you can make bracelets or jewelry. ”

Brother You shook his head and said: "Mother, these pearls are too small, they don't look good as bracelets, and when I grow up, I will find bigger and brighter pearls to make bracelets for you." With this, you can use it to grind powder and apply it to your face!"

This made Yuxi very useful, and Yuxi smiled so much that his eyes narrowed into a line: "Your filial piety is very happy, but you can't spoil things." "The largest pearl in this box is the size of a thumb, and it's a waste to grind it.

Brother You changed quickly and said: "Since it was given to my mother, what does my mother want to do with her own decisions." ”

The triplets soon went back to the house to do their homework. Yuxi handed over the pearls to Banxia and said, "Pick out some of the pearls in this to make a deputy bracelet." "Yuxi doesn't wear jewelry on weekdays, but his son's filial piety is different.

Quan Mama said with a smile: "From the eldest county lord to the fourth young master, everyone is filial, and the princess will be blessed in the future." "With these six children here, no matter how many women come, they are not afraid.

Yuxi was also in a good mood: "Yes! For them, no matter how hard it is, it's worth it." She let Yunqing rebel at the beginning, hoping to create a good future for her children. I don't want my children to be dictated by others.

With a child relieved, Yuxi put down his troubles for the time being. The next day, Xu Wu's eyes were blood-red.

Seeing this, Yuxi asked, "What's the matter?"

Xu Wu took the opportunity to say: "Princess, I know that Yu Cong's matter is my fault, and I have no complaints about how the princess wants to punish me, I just ask the princess to give me another chance." ”

Yuxi was silent and asked, "You really don't want to go back to the barracks?" Feng Dajun and Yu Cong have both become generals with heavy troops, are you really willing to stay in the palace for the rest of your life?"

Xu Wu shook his head and said, "I think it's good to stay in the palace." He never envied the Feng army, otherwise he would have found an opportunity to transfer to the army.

Yuxi said: "You let me think about this. ”

Hearing this, Xu Wu's heart was slightly relieved. The princess is willing to think about it, indicating that there is still room for turnaround.

At noon that day, Yuxi received another letter from Yunqing. But Yuxi didn't open it, and put it directly in the drawer on the side. Yuxi hasn't read any of the letters sent back by Yunqing these days.

If it had been before, Xu Wu would definitely ask Yuxi why he didn't read these letters. But he is still in the inspection period, and he doesn't dare to go beyond it anymore.

Two days later, Xu Wu received Si Bonian's letter, and after reading the letter, he told Yuxi about it: "The Liu family attempted suicide, and the big county lord led people to break into the Liu Mansion, seriously injured the second master of the Liu family, and the Liu family was also forced to vomit blood and faint. ”

Yuxi looked up and said, "Got it." "If it was in Pickaxe City, she would definitely be reprimanded and punished for such behavior. But this time, the jujube is for her, and she, who is not supportive, will she still be harsh.

Xu Wu said with some concern: "Princess, such an act of the great county lord will cause criticism. ”

Yuxi said lightly: "Zao Zao will lead troops to fight in the future, and there will be more non-parliaments." "But with her, no one wants to touch a single hair of jujubes. As for gossip, as long as you don't care about it, it's useless to spread it fiercely. However, Zao Zao is indeed a little reckless, and he has to talk about it when he comes back.

Thinking of this, Yuxi's face suddenly changed, and he asked, "Did the prince know about this after the fact?"

Xu Wu hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, after the prince found out, he only said a word of nonsense, and he didn't beat or reprimand." "Fortunately, I didn't fight, otherwise the princess would have been even more angry.

Yuxi snorted coldly, but didn't say anything.

Xu Wu said: "Princess, the prince should be able to come back at the beginning of next month." He hoped that Yunqing would come back as soon as possible, so that the misunderstanding could be resolved as soon as possible. Otherwise, the longer the time drags on, the more troublesome it will be.

Yuxi snorted, and there was no next sentence.

Zao Zao looked forward to the stars and the moon, and looked forward to Yuxi's reply, but there was no one. Zao Zao muttered to Yun Qing: "Why didn't my mother reply to me?"

Yunqing said: "Your mother is probably busy. Not only did he not reply to Zaozao, but neither did he. If you don't reply to him, it can be said that you are angry, but if you don't reply to Zaojube, it is a bit too much.

Zao Zao didn't believe this: "No matter how busy my mother is, she can't even have time to write a letter." After speaking, Zao Zao said worriedly: "Dad, do you think my mother will be seriously ill? My mother was afraid that I would be worried, so she simply didn't reply. ”

Yunqing shook his head and said, "No, I also received a letter from your Uncle Xu the day before yesterday." If your mother is seriously ill, he won't tell me. ”

Zao Zao guessed: "Maybe my mother is afraid that I will be worried, so I don't allow my uncle to tell us?"

Yun Qing said: "No, your Uncle Xu won't hide such a big matter from his father." Your mother shouldn't reply to the letter, there should be something. Or your mother's reply is on the way, but it's just delayed. ”

That being said, Yun Qing still wrote a letter to Xu Wu, asking him to send it to Pickaxe City quickly. But don't be beaten by jujubes, Yuxi fell ill because of Liu Yi's matter.

After writing the letter, Yunqing sent someone to invite Han Jianming over and said, "I'll leave the matter here to you, and I'll go back to Ho City the day after tomorrow." He is relieved that the government affairs are handed over to Han Jianming, but he is still not very relieved that the military affairs are handed over to Fang Xing and Yu Cong, and he still needs to mention it well.

Han Jianming hurriedly asked, "So urgent? Is something happening in Ho City?" In fact, Han Jianming wanted to ask if something happened to Yuxi, but it was not very auspicious, so he didn't ask.

Yun Qing shook his head and said, "The princess hasn't replied to me and Zao Zao these days, I'm a little worried, and I want to go back early." ”

Han Jianming was a little surprised, Yang Duoming came to him last night and told him about the Liu family's involvement with the imperial court. also said that Yuxi had an explanation, and this matter was handed over to him to deal with. From here, it can be seen that there is nothing wrong with Yuxi. Yuxi is good, and Ho City will not be chaotic. As for why Yuxi didn't reply to Yunqing, it is estimated that he is still angry.

Han Jianming concealed his strangeness and didn't let Yun Qing notice: "The matter here is with me and General Fang, so don't worry." "Actually, there are so many things that it takes a while to get everything right.

Out of the General's Mansion, Han Jianming immediately sent Han Gao to invite Yang Duoming, and specially instructed Han Gao to ask Yang Duoming to bring Yuxi's reply.

Yang Duoming was a little strange, but he still brought the letter. handed Yuxi's reply to Han Jianming, and Yang Duoming deliberately said: "My lord, this letter is the princess's handwritten letter, and it is definitely not fake." ”

Han Jianming took a serious look at it, it was Yuxi's handwriting, and Yuxi's private seal was stamped at the end of the letter. After reading it, Han Jianming said: "I just heard the rumor that the princess is seriously ill and I don't think it's right, so I want to see the authenticity of this letter." ”

Yang Duoming said with some surprise: "How is it possible? This letter was written four days ago at most. But in four days, he became seriously ill. "It's still possible to get a cold or something, but it's absolutely impossible to get seriously ill.

Han Jianming hummed and said, "I'm also just in case." The Liu family didn't move for the time being, let's see what they wanted to do?" Han Jianming decided to put a long line to catch a big fish.

Yang Duoming hesitated and said, "My lord, do you think we want to solve the Liu family?" It's just that Yuxi didn't give the order, and he didn't dare to do it himself. However, if Han Jianming made up his mind, he could mention this matter to Yuxi.

Han Jianming said: "Since the princess didn't mention it, you shouldn't do anything superfluous." "Han Jianming is Yuxi's most loyal supporter, he goes all out for what Yuxi lets him do, and he doesn't let Yuxi do or show his attitude at all.

Yang Duoming returned to his house, and Yan Xi handed him a letter and said, "Boss, sister-in-law's letter." At first, Yan Xi didn't look down on Fu Qingluo, and felt that Fu Qingluo was too arrogant. However, over the years, he has also respected Fu Qingluo.

After reading the letter, Yang Duoming looked impatient.

Yan Xi asked, "Boss, what's wrong?What did my sister-in-law say that made you unhappy?"

Yang Duoming said: "The Yang family gave birth to another daughter, and the eldest brother wants us to pass on Sanmao to him. At the beginning, he thought that the Yang family was very good, so he recommended it to Fu Tianlei, but he didn't expect that people's hearts were fickle, and the Yang family dared to stretch out his hand to the lily. For this reason, Fu Qingluo also complained for a while.

Yan Xi knew that Fu Tianlei had this plan, and said: "He wants a son, so he is born by himself, what's the matter with the idea of always beating my nephew?"

Yang Duoming said: "Then he has to be born to be successful." "Plus this one born by the Yang family, it's all eight fairies. Speaking of which, he wondered why this eldest brother always gave birth to a daughter. The son who was finally obtained, died young.

Yan Xi said: "You have to tell your sister-in-law, can you agree." ”

Yang Duoming shook his head and said, "Your sister-in-law refused. It was also Yang Duoming who made it clear that he was unwilling to succeed his children, so Fu Qingluo's attitude would be so resolute.
