Yu Xiaoling squinted, left the plum tree, and pretended to walk a few steps slowly on the side inadvertently, looking around, but never found anything. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Could it be that she was too nervous?

Perhaps, there are too many people in Zhongqinbo's Mansion that she doesn't know, although they are all Xu Pan's flesh and blood relatives, but for her, a carp spirit who was reincarnated in the flesh of a mortal, it is impossible not to be vigilant.

But no matter how vigilant she was, she still didn't notice anything, not even the slightest movement.

She couldn't help but shake her head, secretly saying that she was too suspicious, so she went around the plum tree again, looking for a branch that could be painted.

But she had just seen a branch from a distance, and was about to walk forward, when she suddenly heard a sparse sound not far away.

Yu Xiaoling turned his head in a moment's breath, and his gaze was fierce and fixed on the sound.

But the eyes are full of cypress branches and leaves, and the bare branches of mahogany. But with the next breath, the sound came again, and the cypress leaves swayed, and the green fingers suddenly parted the branches and leaves of the two trees, and the pea-green skirt floated out a little.

"Sister-in-law?" Xu Shu poked his little head out of the flowers and trees, and saw Yu Xiaoling looking at him with a wary expression, and couldn't help but ask.

"It turned out to be the third sister, which scared me. Yu Xiaoling suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said.

Xu Shu's expression was slightly confused, and he said softly: "I'm scared of my sister-in-law, is it mine." ”

When Yu Xiaoling saw her like this, she thought that what she had just said was serious, so she hurriedly beckoned to her and said softly: "It's not in the way, don't I scare my sister too?"

When Yu Xiaoling said this, Xu Shucai put away Fang Cai's expression, pursed his lips and smiled, and walked to Yu Xiaoling's side.

"My sister just came?" Yu Xiaoling took her hand and asked as if unintentionally.

"When I first came, I heard from the maid that the white plums bloom well here, and I want to cut a few branches and go back to insert the bottle. ”

When Yu Xiaoling heard this, his eyes flashed with a thoughtful look, and he couldn't see it clearly, so he retreated: "That's a coincidence, my sister and I want to go together." ”

Since they thought of one place, there were a lot of words to talk to, and the two of them circled around Bai Mei a few times, and dispelled the tension between talking and laughing.

It's just that Yu Xiaoling didn't see that among the bushes covered by the branches and leaves of the cypress, someone raised his hand and touched his chin, his eyes were half-squinted through the gaps in the branches and leaves, and he looked at her deeply a few times, and then raised his feet and left quietly.

Xu Pan set up a banquet in the outer courtyard to entertain several younger brothers, and after they left, he returned to the main courtyard and saw Yu Xiaoling, sitting in front of a Jun kiln flower bag with plum blossoms in a daze.

Xu Pan slowly approached, but she didn't notice it.

Xu Pan looked at her quietly with a smile, raised his hand and put it on her back, just wanted to ask her, but saw her body suddenly shook, and there was a cold light in her eyes vigilantly, looking at Xu Pan.

"What's the matter, Ling'er, I'm scared of you?" Xu Pan frowned when she saw her guarded look.

Yu Xiaoling saw that it was Xu Pan, let out a sigh, closed his eyes deeply, shook his head and said, "It's me who is suspicious." ”

"Why are you suspicious, what's wrong?"

He asked like this, but Yu Xiaoling didn't answer him like this, but asked, "Jinyi Guard...... Have you really come to our house?"

Xu Pan's expression turned grim when he heard this: "What's the matter?" Do you think there is someone in the secret?"

Yu Xiaoling nodded, and shook his head again: "It seems to have some feelings...... I can't tell. ”

Xu Pan pursed his lips and was silent for a moment before he said, "Isn't it that I didn't go to the yamen on an errand recently, and I was targeted by the Jinyi guard?"

He paused, and suddenly sneered: "Like me, who are dedicated to the country, they can't rest assured......"

He pursed his lips, stroked Yu Xiaoling's back a few times, and said softly: "You don't have to be afraid, the Jinyi Guard is a routine, although our family's guards can't stop people, they won't be unaware." I called Shao Ban over and asked after a while, and I understood. ”

After he finished speaking, he saw that there was still a little worry in her eyes, so he picked her up by the waist again, sat down himself, and put her on his lap.

Xu is because Yu Xiaoling's stature is too small compared to Xu Pan, and he always likes to put her on his lap and hold her in his arms.

He hung his head, pressed against her sideburns, and asked softly and pityingly, "The white plums in the garden have bloomed?" and those white plums were moved by my grandfather for my grandmother...... What flowers and trees does Ling'er like, let's also move to plant, there are always many empty spaces. Pomegranate...... What does Ling'er think?"

A pomegranate with many sons and many blessings.

Xu Pan's warm exhalation was in Xiao Ling's ear, which eased her nervous heart a little. She thought about it, nodded and smiled, leaned her head sideways on Xu Pan's neck, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Okay." ”

……

In the study, Shao Ban and Fu Ping stood side by side.

"Is there really no Jinyi Guard, what about the other suspicious people?"

Shao Ban shook his head inexplicably: "Uncle, if not, ...... you?"

Xu Pan frowned and waved his hand: "It's nothing, strengthen defense, especially like a garden, this kind of place where there are few people and it is easy to hide, send more people over." ”

When Shao Ban heard this, he suddenly realized, it turned out that the uncle was afraid that something would happen to their wife.

Uncle is too nervous about his wife?

Shao Ban raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Pan, seeing that he was thoughtful, he didn't say anything, and responded in a low voice.

Then Fu Ping stepped forward to report: "Uncle, Xue Gu left the two Pan brothers to stay, and the secret guard didn't dare to step forward to follow closely, but only watched from a distance, and saw that after the two talked to Xue Gu, they were all overjoyed, especially that Pan Mao. Although Pan Peng's expression was a lot more restrained, it could also be seen that he was quite happy. Thinking about the matter of seeking officials, the Pan brothers are somewhat sure. ”

"Oh, it looks like Xue Gu is in response. What is the Xue family's move?"

"Uncle Hui, there is. Only then did Xue Gu send people to the mansion of Wang Fuyong, a member of the military department. ”

The member of the military department is still the ...... of the military election and the Qing Officials Division

Thinking that Xue Gu had such connections, Xu Pan stretched out his hand and knocked on the book case a few times, and then thought about Xue Gu and his people again, and then nodded Fu Ping: "Talk about Wang Fuyong." ”

Fu Pingyu said: "Wang Fuyong has been working in the military department for some years. His hand is stretched out, and he has a lot of dealings with people in the army, he is a man who gives money and does things, and he has a price for one official, and some hundreds or even thousands of households far away from Gyeonggi have not been less under his hands. Lang Zhong, who thinks about him, also knows it. ”

Wang Fuyong is a member of the military election, and the military selection department is the yamen who is in charge of the examination of the military attaché's grade, selection, promotion, and meritorious reward, and has the authority in his hands. Wang Fuyong has been in this position for more than ten years, and he refuses to move.

However, although he is arrogant, he can't get around Li Zhi of Langzhong of the Wuxuan Division. Li Zhi was personally promoted by Pang Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the relationship between the two is self-evident.

Xu Pan smiled, with a lot of interest in his eyes.
