After Lan Haoxin said goodbye to Xue Yu, she walked around outside before returning to the door of the bookstore diagonally opposite Yipinju, just in time for the Xia family brothers and sisters to come out of it.

Xiaoyu saw Lan Haoxin standing opposite at a glance. I think it's because I went around the capital and things went smoothly, with a high-spirited smile on my face. The fifth brother saw each other, and hurriedly went over to meet each other. He pointed to a few strangers and introduced them to Lan Haoxin: "They are all friends of the seventh brother, and they are studying together in the school." ”

Lan Haoxin teased Xiaoyu: "Why did you come so far to buy pearl flowers, isn't there a beautiful one in the county?"

Xiaoyu pursed her lips and smiled: "It's not, the things in the county town are not a little worse than here." Brother Lan help me pick one, as well as the rouge gouache and clothing materials. Alas, I'm a girl from the countryside, I don't know which one to choose, you can help me see if you're well-informed, these eyes are about to pick flowers. ”

Lan Haoxin was embarrassed, what "well-informed" was clearly sarcastic about rolling in the pile of fat powder, and he didn't agree for a while, and he didn't agree for a while.

However, the fifth brother saw that his face was flushed on the side, and hurriedly relieved the siege: "Brother Lan is afraid that there are still things to do, so we still don't want to stop him." ”

Lan Haoxin hurriedly smiled: "It's not in a hurry, the matter here has been taken care of, and I am planning to go back to the northwest." I just happened to buy some gadgets for my sisters at home. "Said and walked in front.

So, a group of people hula-la-la went to the rouge shop again.

Lan Haoxin looked at the book in Xiaoyu's hand and was very curious: "What kind of book did you buy, the female commandment? or the legend of the martyr?"

Xiaoyu listened to it and took a sip: "Who wants to read that kind of book, I bought a few military books and history books." ”

Lan Haoxin laughed when she heard this: "You want the hen Si Chen." ”

Xiaoyu thought of being grounded by her mother when she got up in the middle of the night to learn how to crow a rooster, and couldn't help but clapped her hands and laughed: "It's already past Si Chen, it's really not a difficult thing." ”

Lan Haoxin couldn't help but laugh when she heard it.

When I got to the rouge gouache shop, it was not an ordinary small shop led by Brother Qi's friends. Xiaoyu saw that the things in it were very expensive, so she casually flipped through it a few times and said that she didn't like it, and refused to turn it anymore.

Lan Haoxin wanted to invite everyone to dinner again, and everyone said that they had just eaten, so they had to buy a candy man for Xiaoyu to play. It's so grinding, it's a little late. Xu Yan glanced at Lan Haoxin several times, but Lan Haoxin pretended not to see it.

When everyone dispersed, Xu Yan couldn't help complaining: "This will delay the trip for another day." ”

Lan Haoxin let out a long sigh: "If I see this little girl again in the future, I'm afraid that she will already be married." ”

Xu Yan saw that he understood in his heart, but he didn't want to talk about him anymore, so he had to say: "Let's tighten the itinerary in the future." ”

Xue Yu said goodbye to Lan Haoxin, so he sent a faceless servant to follow him to take a look: "Why is Lan Gongzi suddenly absent-minded when he arrives?"

The little girl came back and said, "I met a friend, surnamed Xia, and a large group of people accompanied a little girl to pick things." ”

Xue Yu heard this, and after a while, he said to the little girl beside him: "Such a big battle, it's the ninth girl of the Xia family." After thinking about it, he smiled and said: "This ninth girl of the Xia family is really a good fate, and the trip is even bigger than the princess's pomp." Dong'an, you said that in the future, what kind of family will be able to marry her. ”

That little guy was the one who tried to rush in to save Xue Yu when he fell into the quicksand. Listening to his words, he thought about his expression and smiled: "Such a pampered one will definitely not be small, Lan Gongzi is probably going to be disappointed." I heard that the fifth brother of the Xia family, the seventh brother will be out in two years. If she wins the promotion, Jinshi, Miss Xia is afraid that she will be the wife of an official. ”

Xue Yu shook his head when he heard this: "What is good about Mrs. Guan." If I were her brother, I would find her a rich farmer, wouldn't it be a lifetime of freedom. ”

Dongan thought for a while and said, "If you become an official, you may not think so." Look at how many people in the capital send their concubines and concubines to fill the house with others in order to tie up with their bosses, and even make them smaller. The Xia family has no foundation in the capital, and they always have to hug the thighs of others. ”

Xue Yu snorted and talked about Lan Haoxin again. "The Lan family has relied on the merits of the dragon over the years, and they have become more and more tired. When this was all about to happen, I remembered to come to Beijing to walk around. This time they were lucky, otherwise" he didn't say anything later, just snorted coldly.

Saying this, he arrived at Yin Sunlu's mansion in Fengxiang Mansion. The porter Lin Ping saw it from afar, and while sending the little servant inside, he greeted him from afar. With a smiling face, he said: "Lord Shizi, I look good today, but what is the happy event?"

Xue Yu was not polite to him, and only snorted from his nose: "Are you adults here?"

Lin Ping cheered up more and more: "In, in." As he spoke, he asked Sun Da next to him to help look at the door. Only then did he personally lead Xue Yu inside. The mansion of this Fengxiang Mansion is not large, covering an area of about fifty acres. Because Sun Lu likes strange stones, the strange stones in the house are numerous, and he loves to plant bamboo forests, each courtyard is connected by a corridor, the winding path is secluded, and the scenery is very distinct.

Xue Yu followed Lin Da all the way to the study in the front yard, and at this time, Lord Sun also came out. The two of them exchanged pleasantries, and Sun Lu took the opportunity to take a closer look at Xue Yu. I haven't seen him for half a year, but I've grown taller again, and now I'm a few points taller than myself. The face has gradually grown, and the handsome little face that used to be now a little tougher has become a little tougher. The two sword eyebrows lined a pair of big eyes with a heroic posture.

It's just that this temperament is a little cold, and after being in contact for so many days, I haven't seen a gaffe. At such a young age, he developed such a dislike and angry temperament. Since the death of the emperor, there have been some fluctuations in the imperial court, and various parties have inevitably tried each other several times. This Xue Shizi also wanted to deal with the powerful in Beijing, and his actions became more and more calm.

The two of them were polite, and inevitably talked about the current politics.

"The prince returned to Beijing this time, and I don't know what the trend in Beijing is. I heard that I want to do some new policies today, I wonder if I can reveal one or two?"

Xue Yu hung his head, blowing the tea leaves in the teacup, and secretly said in his heart that he was just trying to cut the domain. But he said coldly: "It's all rumors, it's nothing more than trying to deceive people." If there is one or two of them who can't sit still, they can profit from it. ”

When Sun Lu heard this, his heart sank. I secretly thought about those rumors again, and then combed those powerful princes from the beginning. After thinking about it, instead of being clear in my heart, I became more and more at a loss.

King Yi is the third son of the first emperor, and now he is stationed in the northeast, with nearly 100,000 elite soldiers in his hands.

The acting king is the fifth son of the former emperor, and the uncle of the present day, who holds the southwest and also has more than 100,000 troops. However, his fief was adjacent to the Northwest Army of Dingguo Gong, and the Northwest Army had always been brave, and the soldiers and horses of the king were far from comparable. But if the acting king persuaded the Duke of Dingguo, then it would be difficult to say about the side of the court.

There are also six emperor uncles, King Zhou, entrenched in Wuchang, very close to Beijing, with 10,000 people in his hands. Sun Lu couldn't help but shudder when he thought about it.

There is also Xingwang Mansion in Yingzhong, adjacent to Fengxiang, if yes

Sun Lu didn't dare to think about it anymore, nothing else, he couldn't get here for a while. But if King Xing is the opposite, Feng Xiang will never follow. Rather than having difficulty making decisions in the future, it is better to push him now. Thinking about it like this, a cold sweat broke out on his back. Didn't the emperor also fight this idea?

Sun Lu pondered it again, and felt more and more that these rumors were spread by the emperor.

Xue Yu looked at Sun Lu's face and was not in a hurry to speak. Just drinking tea quietly, Sun Lu woke up and asked, "I don't know how the prince is, but what are your orders?" ”

Xue Yu said lukewarmly: "The prince is fine there, but my grandmother's health is not very good." ”

Sun Lu was immediately saved: "This time the Fang family's case is really difficult to decide, and the martial family is not an ordinary family. He pondered again: "I don't know what Mrs. Fang and the old lady mean." ”

Xue Yu let out a long sigh at this time, and said with a sad face: "My aunt was grief-stricken and fainted several times. and thinking of her brother and mother's old age, I couldn't bear it. It's just that the cousin is her only son, alas!"

Sun Lu was a little confused by him, and he couldn't figure out for a while whether he wanted to sentence the martial artist more heavily, or lighter.

When Xue Yu was leaving, he said again: "It's good not to let that wicked person get away with it, but don't lose fairness." ”

After Sun Lu waited for him to leave, he hurriedly called his staff to discuss, but in the end, he didn't come up with a result, so he had to do it slowly, and the Fang family would naturally come to talk to him again if he was not satisfied.

Xue Yu went out of Fengxiang's mansion and went to his uncle's house, and when he arrived at the door, he didn't need to be reported. He threw the horsewhip and entered the second gate, and walked through several corridors with ease, and then stopped in front of the main courtyard. Squinted slightly and looked at my aunt's room, and it happened that my aunt's personal maid Chunlan opened the curtain and walked out.

Xue Yu greeted him and asked, "Uncle has always been good, but you have invited the imperial doctor to come and see you?"

Chunlan's eyes were red, and she whispered, "I just fell asleep." I vomited all the medicine I took yesterday, and I asked the doctor to re-prescribe the medicine, and it's fine to take it today. At noon, the second young master and the third young master came to greet them, and when the lady saw them, she remembered that the eldest young master was coming. I couldn't cry, so Grandma Sun said that I shouldn't come over these days. ”

As he was talking, Mrs. Fang asked in a hoarse voice, "Is it Yu'er?" ”

Chunlan hurriedly walked over and opened the curtain.

Xue Yu stepped in. Because of the decoction in the house, I didn't dare to open the doors and windows, and it was wet and stuffy. Mrs. Fang was half-leaning on the bed with her forehead wiped with a sad expression. Fang Wenyuan looks quite like his aunt, and his round face is always kind. Thin, curved eyebrows, and a pair of eyes that are a little red and swollen from crying lately.

Mrs. Fang leaned on the bed and took a deep breath: "When did Yu'er come back from Beijing?"

Xue Yu said softly, "I just came back." ”

Chunlan said on the side: "Before the prince had time to change his clothes, he hurriedly came to see you." ”

Mrs. Fang took Xue Yu's hand: "You are a good one, you are sensible at a young age." It's not like "Mrs. Fang choked up and paused, and then asked after a while, "Mother, how is she?"

Xue Yu understood what she really wanted to ask: "What does the old lady want to do with the eldest grandson of the martial family?"
