said that Xiao Tang asked people to spread the letter to Huaizhen, but he didn't say what happened. And when Huaizhen wanted to leave, he hugged him again as if he refused to let go, and between kisses, he suddenly heard an earth-shattering howl and cry, coming from the side.

Hugh said that it was Huaizhen, and Xiao Tang was also a little surprised, so he stopped busy.

Both of them looked towards the place where the voice came from, but saw that not far ahead, there were two people standing, one tall and one short, one big and one small, as if they were Lin ** and Ling Xiao.

This one who cried loudly was naturally Ling Xiao.

Previously, Lin ** was entertaining in the hall, but Ling Xiao didn't know why, he made a fuss, tried every means to persuade him, but still refused to settle down, Lin ** led him out to play, because he saw Huaizhen's maid Yexue standing here from a distance, and the two of them also came here.

Who knew that when he got out of the Langyue Gate, he unexpectedly saw Xiao Tang hugging Huaizhen back, bowing his head and kissing him...... Seeing this scene at first glance, Lin ** was stunned.

It was when he couldn't think of it and didn't react yet, but he heard Ling Xiao cry suddenly, Lin ** woke up, hurriedly looked down at Ling Xiao, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Ling Xiao cried bitterly, the child opened his mouth and raised his head, his originally snow-white face turned red at the moment, and he didn't know where his small body came from, and so many tears suddenly rolled down, staining his face.

Although Ling Xiao has always been naughty at home, he has never cried so loudly as he does today, as if he has been greatly wronged.

Lin ** didn't have time to pay attention to the surroundings, and was busy squatting to comfort, but he didn't know what was wrong with him, but no matter how she asked and comforted, Ling Xiao only screamed and cried.

At this moment, Huai Zhenyin was also busy leaving Xiao Tang and coming over to Lin ** and Ling Xiao.

Huai Zhen saw that Ling Xiao was really crying hard, and he was very worried, because he hurriedly ran to him, and also asked with Lin **: "What's wrong with Ling Xiao?" Does it hurt when you bump it? ”

**Seeing her come to him, he said, "Well, I haven't touched it, and I cried somehow." As he spoke, he coaxed Ling Xiao again: "Good boy, what's the matter, tell my mother quickly?" ”

Huai Zhen saw Ling Xiao with his head up and his eyes closed, regardless of it, crying heartbreakingly, and his little face was also flushed, Huai Zhen was very distressed, and he was busy squatting, and also held his hand and said: "Good Lingxiao, don't cry, Auntie is here......"

Ling Xiao listened to her voice before he stopped slightly, slowly opened his eyes, and looked at Huaizhen for a while...... Although I didn't cry anymore, because I was crying too much just now, my body was shaking at the moment, and I looked really pitiful.

Seeing that he had stopped, Huai Zhen hurriedly took out a handkerchief, gently wiped his tears, and said, "How can you cry so decently...... It's a strange thing. ”

Ling Xiao didn't move, let Huaizhen wipe his tears, he just looked at Huaizhen in a daze, his little body still twitching slightly.

Seeing this, he was a little relieved, knowing that his child was straight-hearted, but he was afraid that he didn't know what was unsatisfactory, so he immediately cried bitterly. At this moment, Xiao Tang also came over and asked with a smile, "What's wrong with this kid?" ”

Who knows, Xiao Tang didn't ask, as soon as he asked, Ling Xiao's eyes widened, and when he saw him, he suddenly cried again, while crying, he opened his arms and pounced on Huai Zhen, and hugged her firmly with his open hand!

When everyone saw this, they were all surprised and at a loss, Huaizhen was stunned, so they had to hug Ling Xiao and say, "Good boy, what's wrong?" ”

Xiao Tang raised his eyebrows, glanced at each other, and didn't know where to go, because he stood up, and said with a wry smile: "This kid has a bit of a strange temperament...... I don't know what upset him. ”

Xiao Tang saw Ling Xiao hugging Huaizhen tightly, so he smiled and said, "He really likes Huaizhen?" ”

** also smiled: "Who said it wasn't?" Look at the two of them, they are so close to each other, they don't even listen to my persuasion, they listen to Huaizhen......"

Huai was really worried about Ling Xiao, and after listening to his two questions and answers, he glanced back at Xiao Tang, and his eyes were full of worry.

Xiao Tang knew about it, so he raised his hand and pressed it lightly on her shoulder, and said with relief: "Don't worry, his child is like this......"

Before Huai Zhen could answer, Ling Xiao saw Xiao Tang put his hand over, he actually raised his hand, and hit Xiao Tang's hand, and desperately tried to push it away, although he didn't have much strength, but this behavior showed great displeasure.

Xiao Tang was stunned for a moment, and then slowly withdrew his hand.

** Startled, he hurriedly shouted: "Ling Xiao! What to do so rudely! ”

Ling Xiao raised his head and glared at Xiao Tang, and hugged Huaizhen tightly with both hands, Huaizhen was afraid that ** would scare him, so he said, "It's not in the way." ”

Xiao Tang looked at it for a moment, didn't understand what it meant, and said with a smile: "It seems that this little guy is not in love with me." ”

** I was worried, so I said: "After all, I am still a child, and I don't know anything yet." ”

Xiao Tang glanced at Ling Xiao thoughtfully, but he also nodded with a light smile, because he said to **: "It's inconvenient for me to stay here longer, and I'll go back first." ”

** looked at him, and said: "Brother must have a party outside, and go quickly." ”

Xiao Tang said to Huaizhen again: "I'll go out first, if there is anything, I will send a maid to call me." As he spoke, he raised his hand again...... Unexpectedly, Ling Xiao's eyes widened again, as if he was afraid that he would put his hand over again.

Seeing this, Xiao Tang shook for a while, making the little guy's eyes turn around vigilantly, and Xiao Tang couldn't help laughing a few times before he walked away.

After Xiao Tang left, Ling Xiao didn't cry anymore. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Guo heard that Ling Xiao was crying and making a fuss, so she hurriedly sent a maid to ask what was going on, ** just said that it was a trivial matter, and the maid went back to tell her.

After the girl went, ** sighed and lowered her eyes, but saw that Ling Xiao was still holding Huaizhen's hand.

** sighed: "This child is still so young, he doesn't listen to me anymore, and he will grow up a few years in the future, and I don't know what will happen, I'm afraid that he will turn against the sky." ”

Huaizhen said: "Now he is naïve, he doesn't understand those ordinary rules, and when he grows up, he doesn't need to be taught by his grandmother, he also understands, but I'm afraid that at that time, he has learned to understand the world, and the world's warp and weft...... But it won't be as innocent and cute as this, and it's the best time to do it. ”

**Hearing her say this, pondering carefully, why is this not the truth, I couldn't help nodding and sighed: "What my sister said is very true, don't say it's Ling Xiao, just say that we ......" After saying this, I realized it and stopped ...... Just bowed his head without a word.

Huai Zhen saw her stop suddenly, turned his head to look, thought about her words, and knew what ** wanted to say, so he didn't mention it.

Huaizhen only looked down at Ling Xiao again, but saw that he no longer had the miserable look of crying and losing his voice before, although his eyes were still red, but they showed the color of love.

Huai Zhen smiled and said, "Ling Xiao is okay now?" Is it okay to talk to my aunt now...... Why did Fang Cai cry? ”

When Ling Xiao saw her ask, he blinked his black grape-like eyes and thought for a while...... But he did not answer.

** couldn't help laughing, and said: "It's not good to say it now, I'm just afraid that Zhenzhen'er will lose her temper again for no reason before crying." ”

Huai Zhen saw that he was such a small person, and his seven emotions and six desires were still chaotic, but I was afraid that it really came from for no reason...... I was afraid of asking a few more questions, but I was afraid that I would make the child unhappy again, so I would no longer theorize about it.

The two talked for a while, and suddenly saw Guo Jianyi coming, because they asked about Ling Xiao's crying.

**Surprised, he smiled and said: "It's just a child's nonsense, it's not a big deal, I alarmed my wife before, and I specially sent someone to ask, why does even Guo Shilang know about it now?" ”

Guo Jianyi smiled and said: "I heard the girls talk about it, I'm afraid that something is wrong, so it's better to come in and see it in person." ”

** smiled and said: "It's really okay, but I can't help it." The wife's good life, but this child is so rude. ”

Guo Jianyi said: "What did the young grandmother say? The little boy is still so young, it is normal to cry and make trouble, as long as he is okay, we will naturally rejoice. ”

When Guo Jianyi spoke, Ling Xiao was silent, just looked at it with his eyes, but he looked very well-behaved and quiet.

Because he saw Guo Jianyi coming...... ** also understood that Guo Jianyi and Huaizhen were also relatives, but they were afraid that the two would have something to say in private, so ** didn't want to disturb, and was about to take Ling Xiao back to the room, but Ling Xiao still held Huaizhen and refused to let go, Huaizhen followed and persuaded for a while, but Ling Xiao refused to listen.

**Seeing that Ling Xiao was really abnormal, he frowned, and immediately wanted to scold a few words.

Huai Zhen saw that the situation was not good, so he had to say with a smile: "It's better to let me play with Ling Xiao for a while, and I will go back in a while, and I won't be delayed for too long." ”

After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "I'm afraid that he will be disobedient and annoying." ”

Huai Zhen bowed his head and asked, "Ling Xiao is good with me, is what Auntie said right?" ”

Ling Xiao actually nodded, ** smiled dumbly, and said, "Okay, okay, this time, I forgot my mother with an aunt!" After laughing and admonishing a few more words, he went back to the hall first.

When Huai Zhen held Ling Xiao's hand, he said to Guo Jianyi: "I haven't seen my little cousin for many days, has it always been good?" As he spoke, he took a closer look at Guo Jianyi and saw that his face had not changed much, but there was more calm between his eyebrows.

Guo Jianyi was also looking at Huaizhen, but saw that she was a little lower than before, she seemed to be newly opened, fragrant muscles and weak bones, and her eyes were flowing, and she had a peerless and independent posture.

Guo Jianyi nodded and said, "I'm fine, but I've always been busy with official business, although I want to visit Huaizhen...... I just thought about it again, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to ......" Guo Jianyi said this, his eyelids drooped, and after thinking about it again, he reluctantly smiled and said: "Hengzhi knows that you are very good, so I am also relieved." ”

If he really doesn't know what he thinks about him, that's fine...... Just because he vaguely knew a little bit, he also understood that Xiao Tang was afraid of Guo Jianyi in his heart...... Therefore, Huaizhen treated Guo Jianyi without taboos as before, but he was just extra polite.

At this moment, when I heard Guo Jianyi say this, I opened my mouth, but I didn't know how to answer, thinking that if I said it intimately, I am afraid that it will make people feel too much, and if I say a few words coldly, I am afraid that it will hurt people's hearts again.

Huaizhen thought for a while, and then only said: "I heard that there have been a lot of things in the household department recently, although the little cousin is dedicated to the country, he must also take care of his body." As he spoke, he raised his eyes to his face and said no more.

Guo Jianyi smiled and looked at each other, the two of them didn't have to speak at the moment, but they already knew each other's intentions.

After a while, Guo Jianyi said: "If you are sincere, I will naturally keep it in mind." ”

After all, this time is different from the past, and some words can only be stored in the heart, and the words are spoken, more or less severe...... was afraid of another misunderstanding and so on, so after Guo Jianyi said it, he only endured a thousand words in his heart and returned to the front hall.

When Huai Zhen saw him leaving, he thought of one more thing in his heart...... I wanted to ask him, but I thought about it for a while, but I felt that it was not good to ask rashly, so I just stopped.

It turned out that Hanyan summoned her into the palace last time, and when she talked about the night of King Su's rebellion, someone took her out of danger when she was in danger, although the person did not explicitly say that it was Guo Jianyi, but Hanyan guessed that it was him.

Huaizhen listened to it, and was skeptical, because he wanted to ask Guo Jianyi in person, but he thought that this matter was a bit mysterious, so it was better not to mention it.

When Huai Zhen was thinking about it, he heard Ling Xiao shouting, "Auntie...... Aunt ......"

Huai Zhen was busy calming down, so he lowered his body and said with a smile: "What did Ling Xiao tell me to do?" ”

Ling Xiao tilted his head, looked at her, and opened his hand to say, "Hug ......"

Huaizhen couldn't help laughing: "Sure enough, I was careless, after standing for half a day, Ling Xiao was really tired." Immediately hugged Ling Xiao into his arms and said, "Let's go back to the hall, if you go back late, people will think that I have abducted you." ”

Ling Xiao smiled, opened his hand to wrap his arms around Huaizhen's neck, and obediently lay on her shoulder, which was really intimate.

Huaizhen lowered his eyes, and when he saw him snuggling up to himself like a fledgling, his heart was inexplicably moved.

Let's say that Xiao Tang went back to the front hall, and ate wine with everyone for a while, then got up and retreated outside, only eating tea at the table.

Just as he was distracted, someone suddenly came and said with a smile: "Why did I just hear someone outside that you scared the children of the Ling family into crying?" ”

Xiao Tang turned his head, and what he saw was indeed Zhao Yongmu, the king of Xi. Xiao Tang smiled and said, "Are you a good ear?" Who is talking nonsense? ”

King Xi smiled: "You don't care who you listen to, but is there such a thing?" ”

Xiao Tang said lightly: "When the child was crying, I was accompanying Huaizhen, more than ten feet away from him, why did I scare him?" ”

King Xi raised his eyebrows and said, "Since it wasn't you who scared him, why did he push and beat you again?" ”

Xiao Tang raised his head sideways, looked at King Xi carefully, and said, "Who is so long-tongued?" ”

King Xi raised his head and smiled, because he sat down, and saw that there was no one on the left and right, so he asked: "Okay, don't laugh, you suddenly had some distractions before, and your interest was not high...... Later, he left the table again, but why? ”

Xiao Tang saw that he couldn't hide his eyes, so he smiled and said, "I didn't show much of my whereabouts when I asked myself, how do you know so clearly?" ”

King Xi said: "Otherwise, how can we talk about the friendship of beating children, don't say it's me, the depth of field must be clear." ”

When Xiao Tang heard this, he smiled and lowered his eyes, but he didn't answer.

King Xi looked at it carefully for a while, and asked, "After that, you will go to find Huaizhen...... It can't be, it has something to do with Huaizhen? ”

Xiao Tang became more and more stunned, raised his eyes and looked at King Xi for a long time, the corners of his lips opened slightly, but he smiled again for a while, and said, "Go back and eat your wine, ask questions here, it's annoying." ”

At this time, someone came to greet King Xi, and King Xi had to get up and say hello.

Xiao Tang ate another cup of tea, then stood up, and suddenly saw a few people passing by outside, but it was Chunhui Yingpei and other young talents.

Xiao Tang stared at it carefully, and sure enough, he saw that Ling Jue was also among them, a few people didn't know what they were talking about, and they were full of spirit, but Xiao Tang's eyes were only on Ling Jue - but he saw that he was wearing a rare light water red round-necked robe today, wearing a black gold and jade belt, and a jade pendant and a sachet were tied to the belt.

Xiao Tang glanced at it a few times, and his eyes fell on the sachet on Ling Jue's waist, but he saw that it was a golden-brown sachet, and there was just a lotus flower embroidered on it, Xiao Tang stared at the lotus, and his eyes became sharp for a while.

At this moment, Ling Jue over there was aware of it, his eyes turned, and he looked over.

The eyes of the two people were facing each other in the air, Xiao Tang's eyebrows moved, and the sharp color in his eyes disappeared by three points, and Ling Jue glanced at it, and then made a gesture towards him from afar, the corners of Xiao Tang's lips moved slightly, and he only nodded lightly towards him.

Ling Jue laughed with Ying Pei and the others again, and after a while, he looked at the window again, but he didn't see Xiao Tang's people.

It was not until dusk that the visitors gradually dispersed.

only said that Xiao Tang accompanied Mrs. Tang and Huaizhen back to the house, Mrs. Tang traveled all day, and she was tired, so she didn't eat dinner, but went to bed early.

Huai Zhen went back to the room, bathed and changed clothes, and when he came back, he saw Xiao Tang crooked by the bed, looking at her thoughtfully.

Huai Zhen ignored it at first, peeked a few times from the dressing mirror, and saw that he was still staring at him, Huai Zhen couldn't help it, and turned around and asked, "What are you just looking at me?" ”

Xiao Tang listened to her question before he said, "I remember, you had a sachet on your body before, which was embroidered with lotus flowers?" ”

Huai Zhen thought for a moment, then smiled: "But isn't it? The one that I had with me before, and then Grandma Ling brought Ling Xiao with her, and the child played with it in her hand, and I saw that he liked it, so I gave it to him......"

When Huai Zhen said this, he asked, "Why did you talk about this again?" ”

When Xiao Tang heard this, he couldn't help laughing, so he raised his head and laughed a few times, and muttered, "I thought it was ......"

Huai Zhen was puzzled, because he asked, "Why do you think so?" God mysterious. ”

Xiao Tang didn't answer, his eyes lowered and seemed to be out of his mind, Huaizhen saw that he obviously had something on his mind, so he didn't ask the maids to wait, and when all the girls retreated, Huaizhen walked to him, and gently pushed him, and asked: "Ask and ask, what are you talking about, and tell me how about it?" ”

Xiao Tang raised his eyes and said with a smile: "It's just a trivial matter, it's just ...... What's in that sachet of incense? ”

Huai Zhen saw that he just asked something that didn't matter, so he said casually: "It's not a rarity, it's just an ordinary Qingshen incense." ”

Xiao Tang sat up straight, hugged Huaizhen into his arms, and said half-smiled and half-innocently: "I don't understand this, I only ask the lady: what is the recipe?" ”

Huai Zhen smiled and said, "How can you ask again?" This incense is really ordinary, it can only make people feel refreshed, and it is just sedentary for a long time, but it is not something that can make poisonous insects retreat, don't think about it......" At the end, he covered his mouth and smiled.

Xiao Tang lowered his eyes and looked at her, and said with a smile: "I know that I won't drive away poisonous insects, but it's just ...... Horizontally and vertically, you sue me, I have my own wonderful use. ”

Huai Zhen said: "What's the use of you not telling me, why should I sue you?" ”

Seeing her sly face, Xiao Tang simply hugged her tightly, lowered his head and kissed her twice, and asked, "Don't you really say it?" ”

Huai Zhen snorted, "What are you doing?" Now there are requests from others, but you can't coerce them? ”

Xiao Tang pinched his jaw, looked at it carefully for a while, and then said softly: "It's been many days, and you still can't learn well?" But I like your duplicity the most, the harder your mouth is now, and ...... later."

Huaizhen heard him whisper in his ear, and he couldn't help but panic, and his cheeks were suddenly hot...... Where did he dare to tease him again, so he bit his lip in shame and said, "Where will you not say it?" I'm just asking you what you're going to do, but you're stingy and won't say anything, and let me go first, and I'll think about it......"

Xiao Tang didn't rush for a while because he had something in his heart, so he really let go of his arms, and Huaizhen jumped up at this time, because he thought for a while, he said: "The recipe for Qingshen incense is simpler, and it needs to be 'true incense'......"

When Xiao Tang heard this incense name, he frowned slightly. Huaizhen didn't notice it, and said: "Agarwood, sandalwood, live alone......"

When Xiao Tang heard the word "living alone", he laughed and nodded: "Living alone? Good, good, good. ”

Huai Zhen saw that he had no head and no brains, so he wondered, but when he saw that he didn't say anything, he didn't dare to ask again, so he only said everything about the recipe, so he approached cautiously and said, "I'm tired today, so let's sleep......"

I wanted to spend tonight in peace, but Xiao Tang smiled and said, "When the business is done, take the ......" said and took the person to the depths of the bed tent, and stretched out his hand to pull the red silk tent.

In an instant, the tent danced lightly, and the candle shadows flickered, covering the beauty of the bed.

In this way, half a month later, the largest incense shop in the capital, "Baixiang Pavilion", actually produced a very expensive Qingshen lotus sachet, which is said to be the favorite of the children of those clans in Beijing...... Those sons with heads and talents are all vying for it.

It just so happened that at Mrs. Guo's birthday banquet before, someone had also seen Ling Jue wearing such a style of sachet, and it was immediately spread out, one by ten, ten by hundred, in this way, one or two silver and one Qingshen lotus sachet became the hottest thing in the capital, not to mention the children of the literati and ink families who love vassal elegance the most, and even the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, there are more than half of them.

After the morning of this day, King Xi caught up with Xiao Tang and asked, "Have you ever got this?" ”

Xiao Tang raised his eyes and saw that he was holding a golden-brown lotus sachet in his hand, so Xiao Tang said, "You actually bought it too?" ”

King Xi smiled: "I originally saw that everyone was swarming to buy this, and I only laughed at them, who knew that after smelling it, the fragrance was really good, I bought several of them, and prepared to give them away." ”

Xiao Tang laughed twice and said, "One or two pieces of silver, the palace is so generous." ”

King Xi said: "No matter how big the stroke, can it compare to the person behind the instructing Baixiang Pavilion to buy and sell this sachet?" ”

Xiao Tang glanced at King Xi and smiled without saying a word.
