On the way, the carriage evaded another inspection, and arrived at Pucheng in the evening of the same day. Compared with Kyoto City, Pucheng is indeed lively here, just in time for the big day of Zhaofu, and the carriages entering the city are all here to celebrate the birthday.

The mourning period of the queen mother has not passed, and the reason why the Zhao family in Pucheng dares to hold a banquet is because of this old prince who has lived for more than 100 years, he is two generations higher than today's saint, and the emperor has to call him an uncle when he is alive.

The old prince fought the country when he was young, his body was tough, and then he returned the military power, the emperor was also polite to him, and rewarded the mansion in Pucheng, to this generation, although the descendants of the official are not as outstanding as him, but the identity and merit are still there, for his 100-year-old birthday banquet, the saint also sent someone to reward a lot of things as a congratulatory message.

The carriage of Baihua Lane stopped at the mouth of the alley not far from Zhao's mansion, and Xiaoyaolou's mother stepped forward to let Fan Zhu and them come down, compared to the maintenance when they passed the checkpoint, the rest were full of disgust at this time: "You guys hurry up, and it has nothing to do with us when you get out of Pucheng." ”

Fan Zhu thanked him: "Thank you mother for your help, I hope to accept this silver." ”

I often handle silver tickets, and I know the approximate amount when I touch them, and the mother of Xiaoyaolou is not polite, and puts the silver into the cuffs, and the tone is still unhappy: "Don't thank me, if they are not willing to help, I don't want to share this kind of thing, you go quickly." ”

Chu Chu lifted the curtain and said softly: "Mom, I will talk to Fan Gongzi and them for a few words, it won't be too long." ”

"What else is there to say, I really owe that girl." After all, the mother still walked forward.

The maid helped Chu Chu get out of the carriage, standing like this, Fan Zhu and Ji Zihe, who were dressed in women's clothes, were more than a head taller than her, Chu Chu pursed his lips and smiled: "The two sons don't have to mind, go inside from here, turn around and arrive at the inn arranged by Dr. Qi for you, and it's not too late to leave after repairing inside." ”

"Thank you Miss Chuchu all the way." Fan Yu also wanted to give her some silver taels as a thank you, Chu Chu shook his head and shirked it, "Childe doesn't have to be polite, Doctor Qi treats me kindly, and I just do my best." ”

Master Fan only took a closer look at the woman who had helped them all the way: "Doctor Qi, she ...... Helped you? ”

"Doctor Qi is kind-hearted, and he has treated many flower girls in Baihua Lane, and he has also been to Xiaoyao Building to treat us." Chu Chu paused and explained, "Master Fan, after leaving Pucheng, you must not return to Kyoto City again. ”

Fan Yu nodded, and they still knew which was more important.

There was a mother's urging voice in front, and Chu Chu blessed his body: "Don't leave it here, please take care." ”

Watching the carriage leave, they did not stay where they were, and soon entered the alley into a nondescript inn from the backyard.

In the guest room, Mrs. Fan and Mrs. Ji sat there, their faces full of tiredness. The boat is tired and frightened, so far a heart has not been able to put down, so many things left in Kyoto can not be taken back is still a trivial matter, now they are leaving like this, I don't know if Imperial Doctor Qi will be pressing, and I don't know what kind of predicament they will encounter when they return to Zhuzhou.

Knowing her parents' worries, Fan Zhu took out the letter handed over to her by Miss Chu Chu from her arms and handed it to Master Fan: "Dad, Acacia let us go back to Zhuzhou with peace of mind, Imperial Doctor Qi will not bite us." ”

I didn't see Acacia, but I left Kyoto City safely because of her arrangement, not to mention Fan Yu and them, Master Fan and Mrs. Fan didn't know how to describe this taste in their hearts.

Master Fan looked at the contents of the letter, and didn't know what to say for a while, this should be the closest relative, the only child left by his sister in this world. But he didn't even recognize each other, and left Kyoto City with her help.

Mrs. Fan didn't snatch the letter from Master Fan's hand this time, she looked at her husband, then at her son, and didn't say anything with a slight squint.

The house was very quiet, after a tiring journey, both tired and uneasy about the next, after a long time, when Fan Yu and Ji Zihe cleaned up themselves, the four elders also discussed the results, first rest here for the night, and set off back to Zhuzhou early tomorrow morning.

It was night, and all the excitement of Pucheng seemed to have gathered in Zhao's Mansion, and the vocal music from Zhao's Mansion could be heard in the courtyard of such a secluded inn.

Under the dim corridor lamp, the snow accumulated in the courtyard glowed with goose yellow, and Fan Zhu stood next to the stone mill, looking up to see the bright moon hanging in the sky. Not long after, Ji Zihe also came out.

is not a brother is better than a brother, and it can be regarded as having experienced life and death, Ji Zihe walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder and persuaded: "Don't worry, she is so smart." ”

"No matter how smart she is, she's alone." Fan Yu paused, but he was alone, and they couldn't help, "I don't know what arrangements she made this time." ”

Ji Zihe always felt that the fat powder on his face had not been washed, and he rubbed his face a little uncomfortably: "Speaking of which, do you remember the last time she sent someone to deliver a letter to me and let us put away the box." ”

Fan Yu nodded, naturally remembering that the box was now placed in Ji Zihe's study, which was a picture, saying that he didn't have to hide it too well, and didn't put it too obviously: "I didn't understand what was written in the letter at that time, but now that I think about it, is it related to this time?" ”

When they asked like this, neither of them knew about it, and Ji Zihe breathed a long sigh of relief: "Let's go back to Zhuzhou first, I've been here for so long, your wife should be worried." ”

Fan Zhu's expression moved slightly, a stubborn and determined look appeared in front of him, and the words echoed in his ears: Fan Zhu, if you marry me, I will marry, if you don't marry me, I will wait, I can support myself, and I will accompany you so much in this life.

All kinds of complex emotions in his heart surged, there was the time when he was young in the Qi family in Nanxian County, and the reluctance and helplessness when he moved away from Wanxian, he spent more than ten years on tracking down the Qi family, he couldn't let go, he was persistent, and he couldn't let go.

A long sigh sounded in the quiet air, Ji Zihe accompanied him, but the two of them were speechless.

......

It took them almost a month to rush back to Zhuzhou, it was already the New Year, and they didn't even enjoy the atmosphere of the New Year, and the first thing Ji Zihe encountered when he got home was that the study was stolen, and the box that Acacia told him to keep was gone.

When the letter of this matter reached Kyoto City in February, it was already February, and at this time, in the palace of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the lively atmosphere of the New Year was surging with the current situation of the deterioration of the Holy Lord's body.

This year's dinner in the palace is more low-key than in previous years, firstly, the saint is not in good health, and secondly, the queen mother is funeral, even if the sadness has passed, the children and grandchildren have to pretend, so during the dinner, even the singing and dancing performed are saved, and in the second half of the year, you can't sit like this, so under the auspices of Shen Guifei and Concubine De, you went outside to enjoy the snow and watch the fireworks.

Qi Xiangsi followed behind the Gu family to greet the ladies, and when she walked to the side hall, she met the old lady Ming of the Yueyang Palace's mansion outside the door.

Mrs. Ming followed Qi Minlan behind her, and her granddaughter Ming Xiuxiu was holding her. The two families are in-laws, so they naturally want to say hello when they meet, and Mrs. Ming seems to have something to say to the Gu family, so she said to Qi Minlan: "You go for a walk." ”

Qi Minlan glanced at Gu Shi and smiled deferentially: "Mother, I'll accompany you." ”

"What are you doing with such a bad old woman as me, all the ladies over there are there, you go over and say hello and chat with them." Old Madam Ming turned her head to look at her granddaughter, "Xiuxiu, didn't you just say that you were going to find the county lord of Hanshan." ”

"Grandmother, then I'll go." Ming Xiuxiu didn't say much, saluted Qi Minlan, and said goodbye to the Gu family obediently, and walked towards the palace maid who was guarding there, asking her to take her to find the county lord of Hanshan.

Qi Xiangsi followed: "Mother, I'll go out to see the fireworks." ”

Seeing that Qi Xiangsi was gone, Qi Minlan's face was also a little unbearable, and Mrs. Ming glanced at her lightly: "Why don't you go yet." ”

"Yes." Qi Minlan knew that this was to deliberately support her, and walked outside angrily in her heart, and when she saw Qi Xiangsi standing outside, her footsteps paused, and then walked towards her quickly.

Qi Xiangsi stared at the young leaves that emerged from the bushes, still wondering what kind of vitality was so tenacious, and Qi Minlan's cool voice came from his ears: "You are really fateful, so I didn't drive you out." ”

Qi Xiangsi lazily replied to her: "I have always had a big life." ”

"How long do you think you'll be able to be proud?"

"That's what you say every time, are you tired?"

Qi Minlan was interrupted by Qi Xiangsi before she finished speaking, her eyes flashed with anger, but Qi Xiangsi smiled, raised her hand and gently flicked the snow hanging on the bushes, and finally saw the mystery under the young leaves, it turned out that because of the protection of the big trees on the top and the middle bushes, the snow did not fall to the bottom, but provided life to the soil on that side, and new leaves appeared on the extracted rattans.

A cold snort sounded, Qi Minlan quickly pinched the young leaves that came out into her hands, almost crushing them with all her might, and when she let go, the crushed leaves fell into the snow, Qi Minlan shook her hand, turned around and walked towards the side hall, leaving no words.

Qi Xiangsi looked at the young leaves wilting in the snow, and looked up at the back of Qi Minlan walking, was this revealing her fate to her.

The falling snow quickly covered up the green, and a palace maid quickly ran over and put a cloak on Qi Xiangsi, and Qi Xiangsi turned her head to recognize that it was the palace maid Yue Ling beside Shen Guifei.

Yueling looked at Qi Xiangsi with a smile and said, "Doctor Qi, Mama Su asked me to come and see you." ”

Mama Su is the old mama next to Shen Guifei, and what she gave was also Shen Guifei's meaning, Qi Xiangsi understood what she meant, and pulled the cloak with a smile to thank her: "Thank you Mama for your concern, thank you Sister Yueling." ”

"Thank you, it's cold here, how about Doctor Qi go to the palace with me to sit in the hall for a while?"

Qi Xiangsi was slightly stunned, Shen Guifei wanted to see her? 166 Reading Network
