Fukujudo.

The old lady's face has been bad since she entered the room, and when she saw Xia Shijing, who was sitting on a chair in the hall without saying a word, her eyes were full of disappointment.

Zhang's mother came up with tea, the old lady waved her hand, Zhang's mother had been by the old lady's side for a long time, and knew that the old lady had something to say to the old man alone, so she gave a look to Ming Mo in the house, Ming Mo sent out all the people who were waiting in the house, and the two of them also withdrew from the house.

There are only two mother and son left in the house, since the incident of Aunt Yan, the old lady has been unable to release it with a breath in her heart, and today she received such a holy decree, and she did not disclose it before giving birth to her own son, which caught her off guard and was not prepared at all.

She slapped the table and asked angrily, "What the hell is going on?"

Xia Shijing was thinking in his heart that above the court today, the emperor once asked who would like to go to the horse market with Dingguohou, at that time, none of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty stood up, the emperor was a little furious, and he just returned to the house and received such a holy decree, could it be that the emperor meant to let him go?

Thinking about things in his head, the sound of the old lady slapping the table suddenly entered his ears, which made him shake all over, raised his head and looked at the old lady inexplicably, and said softly: "Mother, you are not in good health, don't always be so angry." ”

The old lady closed her eyes, and there was a mockery in her tone: "If you have grown a little bit, why do I need to worry about it? What is the matter with today's holy decree? Why did I only mention Brother Yi'er, but I didn't even mention you a word?"

Xia Shijing shook his head, it was the emperor's intention to raise the three princes in the mansion, but now that the emperor suddenly made this will, he didn't even tell him about it, he didn't even find a clue before, and he was very puzzled.

The old lady looked at his ignorance, and couldn't help sighing in her heart, thinking that she was going to be strong all her life, even in the most difficult time, as long as she thought of her son, she could endure any hardship and any crime, but now that she is in the ground, her son is still like when he was a child, ignorant and ignorant, and he doesn't even have any idea when he encounters things, so how can she close her eyes with peace of mind......

"Since the emperor put Brother Yi in our house to raise, that is to treat you as a confidant, if you want to take Brother Yi back, it is impossible not to mention a word, think about it carefully, is this matter leaked to others, let the emperor make a temporary decision?"

I have to say that the old lady is a person who has experienced the world after all, and she sees it thoroughly with a pair of eyes, although she doesn't know the whole picture, she can get a glimpse of it from the subtleties.

Xia Shijing frowned slightly, carefully recalled the holy decree, thought of the shrill voice of the inner attendant, and the last sentence seemed to be something "... Don't forget to go to Kunhe Palace to thank you when you go back......"

Kunwa Palace!

Xia Shijing's face turned blue instantly, the meaning of the words of the inner servant, could it be that this will was made by the queen? But where did the queen know about it? He thought that what he had done was seamless, and the third prince entered the mansion as the son of his outer room, and said to the outside world that his real age was two years younger, and he couldn't see others on weekdays, how could his identity be discovered?

He shouted, "Xia Dong!"

Xia Dong, the housekeeper of the outer courtyard, hurriedly came in from the outer hall, "Master, what do you command?"

"Where have you been today?"

Xia Dong was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know why the master asked such a question, but he still replied respectfully: "Today is the day of the uncle's martial arts test, and yesterday several masters arranged the carriage early, and today together with the second lady, they went to see the uncle's martial arts test." ”

Martial arts test!

Xia Shijing sighed in his heart, thinking that a few days ago, he heard the four princes talking about the martial arts test in the imperial study, saying that he also wanted to watch it, and the emperor simply asked Yin Chaoyang to be in charge of the order of the martial arts test, could it be that the four princes saw it?

He simply regretted that he was not at the beginning, the emperor asked him to secretly raise the three princes because he was afraid that the queen would find out and poison the three princes again, but now the emperor has not taken care of the Wei family, at this time to the queen, he is only afraid that the three princes will be eaten to death, and he can almost predict the emperor's attitude towards him in the future.

His face became more and more pale, he had never liked the eldest son's martial arts, and felt insulting to Sven, but the eldest son really had no talent in books, but he had a small success in that set of knives, guns and sticks, so he let it go, thinking that his second son was like him, and in the future, Xia Mansion would simply be supported by the second son, but he didn't expect that his eldest son, who had never paid attention to it, would bring him such a big disaster!

Xia Shijing said in a deep voice: "You go and call the uncle over!"

Xia Dong responded and retreated.

The old lady gently twisted the sandalwood Buddha beads in her hand, looked at the restless Xia Shijing, and muttered: "What are you asking Brother Chen to come over?

Xia Shijing endured his anger, broke the matter and said to the old lady: "Today's martial arts test was mentioned by the four princes earlier, saying that many noble sons will go to participate, and the emperor will change the color of the martial arts test to the position of Yanyun guard, in order to select talents, because the four princes also went to watch the game, the emperor ordered Yin Chaoyang to be in charge of the order of the martial arts test, today the four of their brothers and sisters have gone, they must have been seen by someone with a heart, and then sued the four princes, otherwise how would the queen know?"

The old lady froze the movement of the Buddha beads, raised her eyes and exclaimed, "What? Yanyun Guard? That's the official position of Zheng Liupin!"

"Why didn't you talk about it earlier, if we had been prepared, we wouldn't be like this now," the old lady stretched out her hand to him, and asked with a look of pity, "Or is Brother Chen'er's future not important to you at all?"

Xia Shijing took a few deep breaths, and in the face of his mother's accusation, he really didn't know what to say, and only after a long silence did he say: "The people who go to the martial arts test are all the sons of the nobles, even if we prepare, how can we fight them? Not to mention today's martial arts test, many people privately talk that it is to pave the way for Yin Chaoyang's sister-in-law, his sister-in-law has been famous for a few years ago, a double-edged sword is very good, and he once followed Yin Chaoyang to kill the chaotic party at the heaven sacrifice ceremony the year before last, and Brother Chen only learned kung fu with General Xiao for a few years? How can he beat him?" ”

The old lady closed her eyes slightly, and the disappointment in her heart was even worse, her son's words were all about the eldest grandson's shortcomings, but she never thought about seeking a future for the eldest grandson's activities, how can the success or failure of a family be decided according to personal preferences, this is the son she fought hard to save her life...

"Brother Chen, he is your son, he still dares to participate in the martial arts test at a young age, on the other hand, you, as a father, are not optimistic about him at all, if his words are heard by him, how should he be sad?"

Xia Shijing was reprimanded by the old lady, he really didn't like the eldest son to fight and kill a martial artist all day long, he took the path of Wenchen, naturally he liked the second son's elegant child more, and if today's matter was not for the eldest son to participate in the martial arts test, how could it be like this?

Thinking like this, he disliked his eldest son even more in his heart.

When Xia Mingchen came in, he saw his father with a blue face, and he felt very strange in his heart, he had just gone back to the house to take medicine, and was about to go to see Xia Mingyi, when he was called to Fushoutang by the housekeeper in the outer courtyard, and he didn't know what was going on.

Xia Shijing glared at his eldest son fiercely and shouted, "Rebel son, don't kneel down yet!"

Xia Mingchen was a little stunned, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, wondering why, "Father, what mistake did the child make to make his father angry?"

Seeing the ignorant and ignorant look in his eyes, Xia Shijing was angry, reached out and picked up a dusty feather duster placed on the Duobao Pavilion and pumped it on him, "Don't you know what mistakes you made? What happened to today's martial arts test? Why didn't you come back with a word?"

Xia Mingchen originally had injuries on his body, and when he knelt on the ground, he accidentally pulled the wound and couldn't help grinning.

The old lady felt pain in her heart when she saw it, and said angrily: "Stop me! Are you going to kill him?"

Xia Shijing didn't stop because of the old lady's words, but hit him harder, "You rebel still refuse to say it, are you willing to say it if you want me to invite the family law to come?"

Xia Mingchen endured the pain in his body, raised his eyes and looked at his angry father, his expression was puzzled and aggrieved, but he still said in a low voice: "Gu Kui, the second son of the Ningguo Mansion, knocked Wu Yunfeng's weapon away when he tried martial arts, injured Brother Wanwan and Yi'er, and hurt people, I couldn't be angry with him for insulting people, so I started to beat Gu Kui, and if my father wants to punish me, punish me alone..."

Xia Shijing jumped like thunder, he didn't expect that there would be such a thing, he suddenly raised his voice and scolded: "You rebel! Do you know what kind of lintel Ningguo Mansion is? You dare to do such a thing! I don't care about disciplining you anymore, you may not be able to cause any bigger mess in the family in the future," he said and shouted: "Xia Dong, go and invite the family law!"

The old lady stood up anxiously, grabbed Xia Shijing and said loudly: "What are you doing here? You didn't even listen to Brother Chen'er and were going to punish him, is there a father like you?"

Xia Shijing didn't dare to disobey the old lady, and glared at the eldest son fiercely, "You tell me everything about it!"

Xia Mingchen knelt on the ground, thought for a moment, whispered everything that happened today, and finally emphasized: "It's the Ningguo Mansion that is too bullying, I just repaired Gu Kui according to their appearance, and many noble children saw it at that time, even if they sued the saint, they didn't care, and my father didn't have to worry." ”

Xia Shijing's face was almost crooked after hearing this, this is still called not to worry? The eldest son didn't move his brain at all, where did the prince of Ning Guo come to the Xia Mansion, he came to the third prince at all, and he dared to beat the second son of Ning Guogong, it was simply bold!

He said angrily: "Xia Dong! You go and ask the family law out! I won't teach you a lesson today, you don't know how thick the sky is!"
