said that Xiao Tang saw that the crown prince Zhao Yongmu's expression was different and his behavior was different from before, so he hurriedly stopped him and asked.

Yongmu looked at him with worried eyes, and finally smiled: "Who dares to mess with me? No matter where I go at this moment, I know that everyone is interested in welcoming me, lest I don't like it?"

Don frowned, knowing that what he said was the truth. Suddenly, I thought of what he had just said that he was in the palace to face the saint, could it be ...... Xiao Tang asked tentatively: "No, it's the emperor's ......"

Zhao Yongmu's heart shook, but he didn't dare to reveal anything on his face, so he said: "I just told me not to talk nonsense, why did you guess it instead?"

Xiao Tang was silent, but let go of his hand.

Zhao Yongmu lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment, and said: "If you really provoke the person I don't like, then naturally there is nothing else, just far away in the sky, close in front of you." ”

Xiao Tang laughed when he heard this, and said, "It's me, where did I provoke the palace?"

Zhao Yongmu raised his eyes to look at him, and snorted: "Just because you don't listen to me, you have to do everything yourself, because you have been here in the past two years, can you know how comfortable the old man Qi is? Tell me that it would be better to ask him to go to Silla this time......

Xiao Tang couldn't help laughing: "Come on, you are actually gambling on your temperament, Lord Qi can also be regarded as working hard for the country all his life, and now with me, he is a little relieved to be used, so let's juniors have more experience, what's the matter? Besides, didn't I make it clear to you earlier, this time I must have gone to make it, what do you mean by turning it out today?"

Zhao Yongmu was speechless, just ignored it, walked to Xiao Tang's table with a frown, and saw that there were many books on the official case, nothing more than official documents, etc., he flipped through a book, and saw that it was some incomprehensible words, so he knew that it was a foreign language, and he was immediately infinitely bored, and he left it out again.

Xiao Tang watched him move in the back, and always felt that he was unusually tight today, but Zhao Yongmu was the most kind and bright person who got along very well, in fact, he had his own city government proposition, and he made up his mind, but others were helpless, and with his identity, he was naturally forced to do so.

Xiao Tang only asked according to his heart, and said: "It's okay, if you go to Silla this time, if you come and go quickly, it's just more than half a year, and Silla is not like Shaluo, so it won't be fine." ”

King Hee turned his back to him, his eyes only looked at the various objects on the table, and after a while, he finally said, "It's okay, but wait until you come back from Silla...... In the future, if I have the chance, I will transfer you out of the Ministry of Rites, otherwise ......"

Xiao Tang heard him mutter, and unconsciously laughed again, and said: "If in the future, the Prince's Palace ascends the throne, and Chrysostom speaks, Weichen will naturally have to take orders." ”

The corners of King Xi's mouth moved, as if he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.

King Xi sat for a while, and then went again, Xiao Tang accompanied him out of the Ministry of Rites, and sent King Xi to the sedan chair, seeing that although he was smiling, he still seemed to be worried between his eyebrows.

In this way, in the afternoon, a small servant suddenly came to the house and announced: "The third grandmother of the family sent a villain to tell the third master - grandma responded to the mansion today, and most of the time she will not return to the house in the evening, so please let the third master take care of himself." ”

Xiao Tang listened, couldn't help but smile bitterly, it turned out that in the past few days, because he was busy with official business, he occasionally did not go back to the house to rest in the evening, Huaizhen was accustomed to it, and never said anything, only Mrs. Tang was useless, so he had to reprimand Xiao Tang.

When Xiao Tang sighed in his heart, he sent the little guy away.

Let's say that Huaizhen happily returned to the Ying Mansion, and it happened that Wang Huansha was accompanying Li Xianshu to check the accounts, and after hearing the news, the two of them came out together.

When the two of them saw each other, they were naturally very happy. Wang Huansha sat with her for a while, and then retreated.

Huaizhen smiled at Yexue and said, "You all go out." When the girls were gone, he took out the silver ticket from his sleeve.

Huai Zhen smiled and said to Li Xianshu: "Mother, this is the little money I got recently, and it's useless for me to keep it, so my mother just took it." As he spoke, he handed it over.

Li Xianshu saw her suddenly take out the silver ticket, and laughed again, so she said, "You kid, what are you doing giving money to your mother for no reason?"

Li Xianshu didn't think about it, she just thought that Huaizhen had taken a little bit of self-consideration, at most it was only ten or twenty taels...... Who knew that when he looked down, it was more than two thousand taels.

Li Xianshu was taken aback for a moment, hurriedly covered the silver ticket on her chest, looked around first, and then asked in a low voice, "Ah Zhen, where did you get all this silver?"

Huai Zhen couldn't help but laugh: "I got it myself." ”

Li Xianshu twisted her eyebrows, looked at her suspiciously for a while, suddenly got up and walked to her, shook her hand, and asked in a low voice: "You kid, tell your mother honestly, you ...... Did you take it from the Tang Mansion? Or did you take it privately...... What shouldn't you collect?"

Huai Zhen saw that she had misunderstood, so he raised his head and said, "Where did you take it from the Tang Mansion, this is my own money." What should my mother say that you shouldn't accept it?"

Li Xianshu saw that she looked ignorant, so she said, "That's it...... Those people outside will be sent to you in the house...... Will they ask you to do something for them or ask you to say a few nice words in front of your uncle, but right?"

When Li Xianshu was originally in Taizhou, because Lan Feng was more or less a county official, he secretly sent some gifts to bribe those who had intentions, but Li Xianshu had a number, and most of them pushed it.

Later, when I went to Beijing, I didn't expect Ying Lanfeng to be an official all the way to Shangshu, and there were naturally many people in private who wanted to tie up a little bit and so on, Li Xianshu had also seen countless things sent up, some of them were good, and they were really greedy, but it was a pity that Ying Lanfeng repeatedly told him not to accept bribes, otherwise, he was afraid that sooner or later he would get into trouble, so Li Xianshu could only "endure the pain and cut love".

Now seeing that Huaizhen took out two thousand taels of silver for no reason, Li Xianshu first thought of this, and couldn't help but be afraid that she would not be sensible, what would it be good if she affected Xiao Tang, so she hurriedly asked.

Huaizhen covered his mouth and laughed, so he didn't hide it, and told his mother about the partnership with Zhang Zhen.

After Li Xianshu heard about it, she was so shocked that she couldn't believe it, and asked Huaizhen several times, for fear that Huaizhen would say it and coax her.

Huai Zhen saw that Li Xianshu was suspicious, so he frowned and snorted: "Mother, if you don't believe it, call the big ingots and ask them." ”

Li Xianshu saw that she was a little annoyed, and slowly came back to her senses, thinking in her heart: "The new sachet from Baixiang Pavilion, Pei'er also took a few back before, and also said that it was sold in the big ingots shop, but I didn't expect it to go up." ”

Li Xianshu lowered her head and pondered, and suddenly thought again: "Huaizhen has never paid attention to these coins and silver, how can ......he actually do this sachet business with the big ingots?

Li Xianshu thought of this, her eyes turned red, and she cried when she held the silver ticket.

Huai Zhen saw that Li Xianshu didn't believe in herself, and was a little unhappy, but suddenly saw her like this, so she got busy and came to the front, for fear that Li Xianshu was worried that she would cry because of her "misdeeds", so she said anxiously: "What's wrong with my mother......? I really didn't lie to you, if you don't believe it, I'll call someone to bring the big ingots immediately...... If you still don't believe, this matter ...... Uncle Tang's third master also knew about it, so I asked someone to call him......"

Huai really wanted to call someone, but Li Xianshu grabbed her and said, "Good boy, don't go, how can my mother not believe it......?

Huaizhen was slightly stunned, but she was the most empathetic, and she secretly speculated in her heart, so she guessed why Lee Hyun Sook was crying.

Huai Zhen smiled and said, "Since my mother believes me, how can she cry again? Isn't this a good thing? I was originally joking, but who knew that there could be money to be collected from this joke? I regret that I came up with this idea too late." Otherwise, I can help my father and mother earlier...... My mother should be happy for me. ”

Li Xianshu was relieved by her, so she hurriedly stopped her tears, nodded with a smile, and said, "Mother just feels that Ah Zhen ...... It's such a capable ......"

When Huai Zhen heard the praise, he also laughed and said, "The third master also said the same, and said that this is for the benefit of thousands of people." ”

When Huaizhen said this, he was proud and liked it again, and he raised his head, his eyes were bright and bright, and he was infinitely happy.

Li Xianshu looked at her proud appearance, couldn't help laughing, and said: "Uncle also said so, it can be seen that Ah Zhen is really amazing, I will tell your father when I go back, he will definitely be happy for you." ”

Huai Zhen hurriedly said: "Mother, don't tell your father first, if he is happy, how about telling it to the outside world?

As soon as Li Xianshu thought about it, she smiled and agreed, because she hugged Huaizhen and said, "It's all good." It's just that my mother can't ask for your money, so you can take it back and keep it yourself, as your own ......."

Huai Zhen shook his head and said: "I don't need it, the Hengzhu Mansion lives separately from the other two mansions, and the accounts are also calculated separately, and the number of people who call is not as many as the Ying Gongfu, so the daily expenses are also limited, not to mention ...... Uncle Tang has his own money for me to use. ”

Li Xianshu sneered, and Huaizhen said coquettishly: "I just wanted to make some money in order to give my mother, so I had this idea, if my mother refused to accept it, I would have done it for nothing." ”

Li Xianshu was softly said by her, and she was very grateful, so she put away the silver ticket, and someone was talking back and forth outside, so Li Xianshu said goodbye to Huaizhen first and went out to take care of things.

Huai Zhen because she had seen Mrs. Ying before, and she didn't want to go out at the moment, so she only stayed in the room, but she saw that the room was as usual, and there was no change, she looked at it for a while, and then walked behind the piano table, because she saw the piano, she suddenly thought of the piano book that Minli gave in the past, because she got up and looked for it on the shelf, so she took it in her hand and looked through it at will.

Unexpectedly, after looking at it for a while, I heard the little girl outside say, "Miss Huanxi is here." ”

Huaizhen turned around when he heard the sound, and sure enough, he saw Wang Huanxi coming in from outside, and when he saw her, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Huanxi greets my sister." ”

Huaizhen hurriedly put the book down, helped her, and said, "No need to be polite." ”

Wang Huanxi got up, raised her eyes to look at Huaizhen, but saw her fairy appearance, delicate face, eyes cut water, graceful figure, when approaching, I felt that the temperament was exquisite, and the whole body was lightly fragrant, and she was really a peerless beauty of Zhong Lingyuxiu.

Wang Huanxi looked at it from head to toe, but he couldn't find the slightest inappropriateness, Huanxi looked at Huaizhen's eyes in a daze, and was full of confusion for a while.

Huai Zhen saw that she only looked at herself, so she also glanced at it for a while, and saw that she was still young, but her face was beautiful, her eyes were smart, and she faintly revealed some lively meaning, no better than the ladies she had ever seen, so Huai Zhen said: "Sister and sit down and talk." ”

Wang Huanxi sat down, and Huaizhen said: "When Brother Pei was a relative last time, I heard that my sister came to me, so I couldn't get out that day, but fortunately, I saw it again today." My sister has always been good?"

Huanxi listened to her kind words, so she cheered up and said: "I didn't give up my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and I was wrongly loved by my sister, Huanxi is grateful." ”

Huai Zhen said: "If you come, you will be safe, and you will be a family in the future, why do you want to say these polite words?"

Huanxi smiled and looked up at Huaizhen for a while, as if there was a faint sadness in his eyes. Huaizhen looked at himself, but after all, he had only known her for a short time, so it was inconvenient to blindly inquire, so Huaizhen just didn't see her.

Immediately, Huanxi asked, "Sister is going back to the house today, will she stay overnight?"

Huai Zhen said: "Exactly." ”

Huanxi said: "Great, I'm worried about the opportunity to get along with my sister." ”

Seeing her so enthusiastic, Huaizhen smiled and said, "I'm the most boring person, I'm just afraid that you will feel bored." ”

Huanxi said: "I don't believe this, I look at my sister's character...... I've already fallen in love, where will I feel bored. ”

The two of them talked, and Huaizhen saw that Huanxi was very talkative, and gradually covered his sorrow, so he tried his best to laugh with her for a while, just talking about things in the house and things he heard outside.

About half an hour later, I saw Huansha and Ying Pei's wife Wei Shi coming, and they saluted each other again, and the four of them sat down, because they had been entertaining for a long time.

In the evening, because Huaizhen returned home, the old lady set up a meal in the room, everyone went to eat, and accompanied the old lady to talk for a while. After dinner, Huansha had already followed Li Xianshu to take care of the rest of the things, and Wei also followed, but Huanxi was still there...... After sitting for a while, a little girl came outside, said a few words in Huanxi's ear, and Huanxi got up and went out.

Huai Zhen saw that the time was not early, so he got up to say goodbye, and took the maid back to the east courtyard, who knew that halfway through, he saw two people standing in front of him, not knowing what he was saying.

Huaizhen glanced at it and recognized it as the two sisters, Huanxi and Huansha. Huaizhen didn't care, walked a few more steps, and with the night breeze blowing, he faintly heard Huansha say something like "You don't forget the shape", but it was not true.

Huai Zhen was surprised, suspicious that the two sisters were arguing, and didn't know whether to walk over...... Who knew that at this moment, I suddenly saw a little girl hurriedly coming, and said to Huaizhen: "Third grandmother, the third master is here." ”

Huai Zhen couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, - Xiao Tang has been very busy in the past two days, and he doesn't go back to the house every night, Huai Zhen sees that his spirit seems to be a little different from before, but he is on business, but she can't help him, so it's okay.

When she came back to the house today, she just thought that if he had something, he would rest in the Ministry of Rites, and if he had nothing to do, she would just rest and recuperate, where did she think that he would also come?

Huai Zhen asked, "Where are you now?" Because he thought to himself, Ying Lanfeng had not come back at this moment...... Sure enough, the girl said, "Someone has already led her to the East Courtyard." ”

When Huai Zhen heard this, he hurriedly went back to the east courtyard.

Huanxi Huansha over there also heard it, Huanxi saw that Huaizhen was busy going back, his feet moved slightly, but he stopped again, Huansha watched from the side, so he frowned and said: "Now that Tang Sanye is here, it is inconvenient for you to go over again, and go back to the house." ”

Huansha glanced at her, and finally bowed her head silently.

But he said that Huaizhen was busy returning to the east courtyard, and when he entered the door, he heard a pleasant piano sound in his ears.

When I entered the door, I saw Xiao Tang sitting behind the piano table, and with a casual stroke of his long fingers, there was the sound of mountains and flowing water.

Huai Zhen didn't step forward, so he leaned against the door, looked at him and said with a smile: "Isn't there anything in the ministry today? ”

Xiao Tang heard her footsteps, so he looked up at her with a smile and said, "I'm just seeing things and thinking about people, and thinking of old feelings, but you have the heart to laugh." ”

Huai Zhen snorted: "What do you think about the old relationship again? Who do you still have an old relationship with?"

Xiao Tang smiled lightly in his eyes and said, "It's not ...... I once had an old relationship with the little girl in this house, and I also agreed with her that when she married me, I would teach her to play the piano...... It's a pity that although this agreement is there, it has not been fulfilled, but the girl is a heartless one, I am afraid that I have forgotten about it. ”

Huaizhen's cheeks were slightly red, she covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "How could she have forgotten that someone is just busy with her own body and lacks skills, so is it better to pestering to teach?"

Xiao Tang sighed and said, "You come here." ”

Huaizhen didn't move, only asked, "What to do?"

Xiao Tang said: "I've been too busy lately, and I have a headache. As he spoke, he raised his hand and wiped it on his forehead.

When Huaizhen heard this, he had forgotten anything else, so he hurriedly raised his feet and walked to him and said, "Where does it hurt, don't move, I'll rub your ......" and asked the maid to fetch the medicinal oil.

Who knew that Xiao Tang held her hand and said, "Why are you always so disobedient, I asked you to do it, always push back." He put his arms around his waist and told her to sit on his lap.

Only then did Huai Zhen know that he was coaxing again, so he beat him lightly with hatred and said, "It's just that you deceive people, how can you curse yourself in a good way?"

Xiao Tang said: "There is no curse, I really have a headache." As he spoke, he reached out, hugged Huaizhen to his chest, and stroked two notes with his hands.

Huai Zhen opened his eyes wide, looked down at the strings, looked up at Xiao Tang again, raised his hand and touched his forehead, and sure enough, he felt a little hot, so he was frightened: "Amazing, it's really a little burning." ”

Xiao Tang said to himself: "Can you hear what I played?"

Huai really felt familiar, but he didn't pay attention, and after listening to it again, he said: "It's Yangguan Sanhe." ”

Xiao Tang lowered his head and kissed her on the face, and said, "Guessed right." When he was still holding Huaizhen, he played half a que.

Huaizhen was at a loss, and wanted to tell him to stop and call a doctor to take a look, but he felt that the sound of the piano seemed to reveal a bit of parting, which made people sad, Huaizhen frowned and said: "I don't like this, stop." As he spoke, he reached out and pressed it on the back of Xiao Tang's hand.

Xiao Tang suddenly stopped, flipped his palm, held Huaizhen's hand, and said, "I wanted to teach you once first, but I was disobedient." ”

Huai Zhen really felt a little sour in his heart, so he turned around and said, "Even if it's teaching, I don't want to learn this." ”

Xiao Tang met her eyes and asked, "Then what are you going to learn?"

Huaizhen opened his hand to hug his neck, raised his head and kissed Xiao Tang's face, and whispered in a low voice: "I want to learn "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", "Sauvignon Blanc", "Crane Chongxiao" ......"

These are all lingering and sad tracks, Xiao Tang couldn't help laughing, and whispered: "Little girl, are you bad at learning?" and lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.

Huaizhen didn't answer, just looked at him stupidly, Xiao Tang looked at her staring at her eyes, thought for a while, then started to play another song, and read in his mouth: "The apple leaves are soft, the apricot blossoms are bright, and the painting is clear." The double bath of mandarin ducks comes out of the green ting, and the singing voice. There is no wind and no waves in spring, and spring is half rainy and half sunny. The red and pink follow Nanpu late, and they are ...... with affection"

Huaizhen hugged Xiao Tang, his face was close to his shoulder socket, listening to the sound of the murmuring piano, lingering in his ears and heart, it was already like heaven on earth, and listening to his deep tone, his eyebrows were full of affection, and he read it slowly, and in an instant, he felt even more moved.
