Chapter 17 Family Law, Chance Encounters

"You know about this?" Yuan Xiangguo was surprised.

"The reason why Ying Rui joined the beauty department has been told to me, but this is her private matter, and it is inconvenient for my son to say it." Yuan Xiu bowed his head.

Twilight Qing came to Shengjing to investigate the murderer and take revenge, her father's murder has not yet been found, this matter cannot be said, and the name of the egg on Tuesday is an impostor, and Twilight is a daughter, and there are many of them that cannot be said.

"You!" Yuan Xiang was extremely angry, "A low-level general in the army is worthy of you to keep her private?" ”

"Value!" Yuan Xiu raised his eyes and looked at Yuan Xiangguo, his words were like iron stones, "Dad, Yingrui saved my life!" Once outside the tent of King Dibe, if she hadn't found that there were archers buried in the tent behind her, I would have pierced my heart with ten thousand arrows! Once in the quicksand pit, if she didn't know how to get out, I would have been buried in the quicksand! In the front hall of the underground palace, she saw through the mechanism and saved the people in the palace from the danger of burning themselves in the fire caused by the fire doused with fire oil! In the corridor, she pulled out an arrow for me to treat my wounds, and the three-way intersection and the underground palace hall all relied on her to show the way, if there was no her, my father would not be able to see his son in this life. ”

"Stupid! Dad really doubts how you won all battles at the border pass, as a general, you control the enemy every day, and you look at people so shallowly, and you don't know the danger of people's hearts! Yuan Xiangguo was unmoved, but angrily reprimanded Yuan Xiu, "The mausoleum of the Emperor of Siam is very treacherous, how can a village master know how to crack the mechanism?" ”

"Only in the court can the hearts of the people be unpredictable, and the children in the border gates are all innocent." Yuan Xiu's eyes were as deep as an abyss, and he sneered at each other.

Yuan Xiangguo was extremely angry, and said in a loud voice: "Rebel! Unfilial son...... You really complain about peace! ”

What is the unpredictability of the court?

How many years has the Yuan family controlled the government, and this is not so much scolding the court officials, but scolding his father!

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, he was not only dissatisfied with the peace negotiation, but he was also dissatisfied with what the Yuan family had planned over the years.

"Get on your knees!" Yuan Xiangguo shouted angrily, Yuan Xiu threw off his robe and knelt, his armor was not removed, and with a sonorous sound, he was holding a strong iron bone!

Seeing this, Yuan Xiangguo's eyes burned with anger, and he strode out of the study and said, "Go and ask the family law to come!" ”

The housekeeper Tao Bo was taken aback, and he didn't dare to disobey, but asked: "Back to Xiangye, the family law is offered in the ancestral ancestral hall, and the family law should go outside the ancestral hall to ......."

"This rebel has no face to see his ancestors!" Yuan Xiangguo interrupted Tao Bo's words, Hua sleeves flicked, and the angry wind hit Tao Bo's face.

Tao Bo bowed his head, bowed and retreated, and when he arrived outside the study, he said to the chief attendant: "Go to Mrs. Yu!" ”

Chang Sui hurriedly went, Fahrenheit had just returned to the house, and before he had finished tasting a cup of hot tea, he was shocked when he heard the news, and the tea bowl snapped to the ground, and he went out with the help of his mother-in-law. But the Yuan family's study is an important place, and Hua can't enter, so he can only ask urgently outside the study: "Why did Xiangye punish Xiu'er and use the family law?" ”

The door to the study was closed, and no sound could be heard.

Yuan Xiu kept kneeling, and when he saw his father coming back from the family law, he laughed and took off his armor and robe, and threw it on the ground happily!

In the dim study, the charcoal on the man's abdomen and back was deep and shallow, criss-crossed, and it looked particularly hideous in the rich study.

The wind outside the window is like a storm, and in a trance, it seems to see the sword light on the battlefield, and smell the neighing of horses.

Yuan Xiangguo held on to the leather whip, staring at those old and new scars, and pain appeared in his eyes. But seeing that Yuan Xiu was kneeling straight, his face was not afraid, but he had a smile, and that smile stabbed him, and he couldn't help but raise his whip and pull it down!

Syllable!

The whip fell, and the old scar on the man's back added a new blood-red mark.

Yuan Xiangguo's hands were shaking, and his voice was angry: "This whip is for the ancestors!" I want you to remember that our Yuan family is the founding minister, and there have been three queens and five prime ministers, and they have been loyal and good for generations! ”

The voice of Yuan Xiangguo Xunzi was through the courtyard of the door and window of the study, and Hua couldn't really hear it, but the whip sounded like thunder on a sunny day, and Hua shouted in his heart: "Xiangye! ”

Syllable!

There was another whip in the study, and another blood mark was added to Yuan Xiu's back.

"This whip was given to your grandfather! Your grandfather was idle at home and was not involved in court politics, do you remember why he returned to the court? ”

Syllable!

The whip fell off the flesh and flesh, and the blood stains covered the knife wounds that had fallen at the border pass.

"This whip was given for your aunt! Do you still remember why your aunt entered the palace and why she entered the cold palace? ”

Syllable!

"This whip, daddy! I want you to remember, what the Yuan family has done all these years! ”

Four whips, Yuan Xiu didn't say a word, but Yuan Xiangguo was snorting and panting.

"Over the years, you have been at ease at the border, forgetting the honor and disgrace of your home! Wake you up today for the Father! Yuan Xiangguo pointed at Yuan Xiu with a whip, not looking at the blood on his back.

Outside the courtyard, Fahrenheit couldn't hear the whip anymore, so he pushed away the guards and went into the courtyard, and the guards hurriedly stopped, "Madame!" Study Floor! ”

Fahrenheit shouted, "Get out of the way!" This palace has to enter today, if you feel that this palace has trespassed into the important place of the Prime Minister's house, you will draw a knife and kill this palace! ”

The guards naturally didn't dare to draw a knife to kill her, and after hesitating, Hua's pushed people away and entered the courtyard, and the mother-in-law and the maid didn't dare to enter, so they had to wait outside, watching Hua's push the door into the study.

"My son!" As soon as Hua Shi entered the study, she saw Yuan Xiangguo holding a whip and pointing at Yuan Xiu, and the blood marks on Yuan Xiu's back made her eyes dark, and she steadied her mind and pounced. She protected Yuan Xiu, looked up at Yuan Xiangguo, and asked angrily, "Xiangye, why is this?" Today, Xiu'er has returned home for the first time, and it is the New Year's Day, so why do you have to move this law? ”

"You ask this rebel!" Yuan Xiangguo did not mention Hua's crime of breaking into the study, but only pointed to Yuan Xiudao.

"Son, that's right." Yuan Xiudao.

"You!" Yuan Xiangguo was so angry that he trembled, the whip was raised and fell, and Hua protected Yuan Xiu for half a minute.

"Profit the country, don't seek wealth and nobility, can my father still remember these eight characters?" Yuan Xiu looked up and asked.

Yuan Xiangguo was stunned, and the whip he raised froze in mid-air, how could any of the children of the Yuan family not remember this eight characters?

"This is what the ancestors said, the family motto of the Yuan family! If the son remembers correctly, there doesn't seem to be the word "honor and disgrace" in it. Yuan Xiu looked at Yuan Xiangguo, and his eyebrows were frank, "The border pass is free, but it is also happy to kill the enemy!" The son has been reluctant to come back all these years, and he does have the heart to be free, this is the son's unfilial piety, the father will be punished, and the son will suffer! But in the past ten years, the son has never insulted the family style of the Yuan family, and he is worthy of his family and country, and worthy of his ancestors! ”

The implication is that the person who does not obey the ancestral teachings and insults the family style is he, the father?

Hua Shi was also shocked by Yuan Xiu's words, and hurriedly picked up the battle robe from the ground and put it on him, saying: "Your father is angry, wouldn't it be good to give your father a soft clothes, why bother with this family law?" You father and son are really the same as before, I haven't seen each other for so many years, and when we meet, it's such a battle, and you don't look at what day it is, and you deliberately make me have an uncomfortable year. ”

Father and son were silent when they heard this.

"Hurry up and make amends to your father!" Fahrenheit Road.

Yuan Xiangguo looked at Yuan Xiu and snorted coldly, his anger was hard to dissipate.

Yuan Xiu sighed, "Dad, my aunt's hatred and son remember, but that was the fault of the first emperor. The person who owes our Yuan family is the first emperor, and the first emperor has been dead for many years. ”

The first emperor has died, but there are still people alive in the Bu family!

Yuan Xiangguo was about to say this, but when he saw Hua Shi looking up from behind Yuan Xiu, he gave him a fierce look and shook his head.

When Yuan Xiangguo swallowed these words, Hua helped Yuan Xiu up and said to the door: "Quickly prepare hemostatic ointment and white medicine!" ”

Yuan Xiu put on his robe and lifted his armor, and when he walked to the door, he stopped and did not turn back, but said: "There is one more thing that my father forgot, the ancestor followed Emperor Gaozu to conquer the country, and he was also a person from the village at first. The village is not necessarily talentless, but the son thinks that the village is a master. ”

Yuan Xiu said that he went out of the study, and the little maids outside were all ready to take medicine, and Hua took his mother-in-law to accompany him back to the house to take medicine, leaving only Yuan Xiangguo in front of the study window, his face was dark and uncertain.

When Twilight first arrived in Shengjing, although the scenery of the new house was beautiful, he was not used to it, but fortunately, there were some medical books in the attic.

She couldn't sleep at noon and was stunned when she looked for medical books, most of which were ancient scrolls, and some of them were quite familiar - she had seen them, when she was in the Bianhe Palace.

The layout of this house is so painstaking, it is really Bu Xihuan's handwriting, and only he is so thoughtful, knowing that she can't sleep well when she first enters the new house, she specially prepared medical books in the attic, and even remembers which medical books she read when she was in the palace.

This afternoon, everyone in the house was busy.

Yang took his daughters to register the objects in the house, the two little girls are twins, with the same eyebrows and eyes, but different temperaments, the elder sister Cui Ling is more quiet and lovely, and the younger sister Cui Xiumu is more loyal. The two little girls are eight years old, and when they reach the age of avoiding suspicion, Dusk Qing has personal soldiers to serve, so the Yang family asked Cui Ling and Cui Xiu to help in the kitchen, and the place next to the house is not allowed to walk around.

Han Qichu and Cui Yuan talked about strategy in the backyard pavilion, Han Qichu was ten years older than Cui Yuan, and along the way, Cui Yuan was quite convinced of Han Qichu's talent and worshipped him as a teacher.

Liu Heizi and Shi Dahai went to the street with the purchase list given by the Yang family, the two of them didn't know the road when they first arrived in Shengjing, and the moon kill should have been accompanied, but they only pointed to the way, which was called exercise, but in fact, it was just a pro-soldier who didn't want to be an errand runner.

So, the pro-soldier commander who didn't want to run errands was a sentry all afternoon, and Twilight Qing read a book in the attic for an afternoon, and when Yuan Xiu came, the sunset was thick, and the lake was red and the forest was snowy. The wind blew from the middle of the lake, and the man standing under the attic was dressed in fresh armor, and his clothes were stained with the snow in the courtyard.

Twilight glanced out of the attic, frowned, and asked as she came out, "Are you hurt?" ”

What a strong hemostatic ointment and white medicine smell!

Yuan Xiu smiled and sighed, "What a nose!" ”

"Don't get out of the way, your dad called it?" Twilight Qing saw through Yuan Xiu's intentions at a glance.

"It's okay! I quarreled with the old man because of family matters, and I was only whipped four times, and the injury was not serious, but it was just an itch compared to the military stick! Yuan Xiu laughed loudly, his injury is indeed not in the way, but his mother is making a fuss, and he can't wait to smear all the medicine in the house on him, otherwise where would there be such a heavy smell of medicine!

When Du Qing heard that it was a family matter, she knew that it was inconvenient to ask, and saw that Yuan Xiu's face was natural, and she didn't see the white color, and she saw that it was indeed not seriously injured, so she nodded.

The two of them went out of the back garden, and when they saw that Zhao Liangyi and the others did not come, they knew that Yuan Xiu had arrived at her first.

"It's still early, I'll come to you first, take you to my house to have a look, and find a way." Yuan Xiudao.

Twilight Qing answered, and went out with Yuan Xiu.

The palace banquet soldiers were not allowed to enter, and they had to wait outside the palace, and when Twilight Qing left the house, he only brought the moon killing.

The town army and the Hou Mansion are on the east street where the prince's mansion is piled up, and the seven into the mansion are more powerful than the three exquisite mansions of the four general Zuo of the twilight green, and the Hou Mansion is not hung with a plaque, and several generals stand at the door, looking at it at a glance, it is more majestic.

Zhao Liangyi and the others greeted Yuan Xiu with a smile, the military general was coarse-hearted, and he didn't smell the smell of medicine on Yuan Xiu's body, so several people got on the war horse and went to the palace together.

As soon as I galloped out of half the street, I saw two Chinese cars driven out of the front door, and the housekeeper in front of the house was waiting for a bunch of people waiting, and there were twelve beautiful women who came out of the house with laughter, holding the smoker, holding the pipa, the brocade zither and jade sheng, and the cloud sideburns and colorful clothes. The colorful dress is a summer skirt, the cold winter wax moon, the tulle is difficult to cover the body, and the beautiful women walk with slender steps, a beautiful scene.

The generals of the Northwest Army are at the border all the year round, and they have never seen the style of Shengjing's children, everyone is sitting on a war horse, their eyes are straight, and they are open to eat the wind.

Zhao Liangyi asked: "This is also going to the palace?" ”

It takes only a quarter of an hour to ride a horse from East Street to the palace gate, and the carriage is slow, and it takes half an hour all the way.

Half an hour's road also needs this battle?

"Sheng Jing's disciples are like this." Yuan Xiu glanced at the plaque lightly and said, "Let's go over quickly." ”

Twilight Qing saw that Yuan Xiu's expression was different, so he also glanced at the plaque, the pineapple is the plaque, the cockroach is the pattern, the beads are inlaid with emerald, the gold paint is the word, a plaque is extremely luxurious, and the plaque has four words - Prince Heng's Mansion!

Prince Heng?

Twilight's eyes suddenly became complicated.

There are only two princes in Daxing today, and they are the princes of the first emperor period - the fifth prince and the sixth prince.

Two princes, the five kings are frail and sick, and the six kings are cowardly and addicted to wine.

Six Kings...... is the biological father of Bu Xihuan.

The ancient emperors ascended the throne, and their fathers were all emperors, but King Heng was still a prince, with an embarrassing position, arrogant and lascivious, no wonder Yuan Xiu wanted to avoid it.

But after returning to Beijing, these princes and nobles just raised their heads and didn't look down, and they didn't see them at the palace banquet at this time, and Dusk Qing wanted to see Prince Heng.

Just thinking about it, the group had just crossed the gate of the mansion when they saw two men in Chinese clothes coming out of the mansion one after the other.

The two sides collided in front of the palace, the eyes of the two men in fancy clothes lit up, and the man in front of them smiled: "Master Hou? ”

Twilight Qing sat on horseback, and saw the man with a purple crown and jade face, a big black fox, and a slight blue eye, looking addicted to wine. His eyebrows and eyes are really similar to Bu Xihuan, and the corners of his eyes have crow's feet when he laughs, he should be forty years old, but he is only a year old, and he is very well maintained.

Yuan Xiu had no choice but to get off the horse, hugged his fists and said: "I haven't seen you for many years, is the prince okay?" ”

"Thanks to the blessing of the marquis, this king is safe every year." King Heng laughed.

"During the New Year's Festival, they all said that they would go out to see happiness, and now I saw the Hou Ye as soon as I went out, and I think my father will have great joy in the coming year." The man in the fancy dress behind King Heng said.

The man is also a purple-crowned jade-faced, pine-ink fox fur, eyebrows and eyes are more like King Heng, and he should be younger than Bu Xihuan. Tonight's palace banquet feasts princes and officials, and Prince Heng brought this person into the palace, presumably as a son-in-law.

"When I was in the army, the son of the world was only in the year of the general horn, and now he is weak, thinking about it, time really flies." Yuan Xiu smiled, his eyebrows were sparse, but his tone was a little detached.

Bu Xichen smiled and said: "Hou Ye has not returned to Shengjing for many years, why don't you abandon the horse and get on the bus when you see each other today, and talk on the road?" ”

Bu Xichen glanced at the car, and Mei Ji knelt beside the car and waited.

The snow in front of the door was not swept, and Na Meiji was lying in the snow in thin clothes, with a jade back and willow waist, and a soft neck and snow, which was very delicate.

Yuan Xiu glanced at Na Meiji, smiled a little less, and said: "The war horse is used to riding, and I can't ride the car, I'm afraid I will live up to the good intentions of the prince." ”

"I forgot, Master Hou is a heroic general, he is not afraid to kill the enemy, and he is afraid that he can't bear to step on the back of this beauty." Bu Xichen glanced at that Mei Ji, and Mei Ji got up from the snow and brought a pear sedan chair.

The sedan stool was put away, but Yuan Xiu didn't look at it, but said: "The prince misunderstood, Ben Hou really can't take the car." ”

"Oh? Why can't I take it? ”

"Motion sickness!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

When Bu Xichen was stunned, Yuan Xiu laughed, jumped on the war horse, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "The prince and the prince are walking slowly, Benhou will take the first step, and the palace banquet will be recounted!" ”

After that, Yang spurred the horse, the horse team stepped on the snow and galloped in front of the palace, the wind carried the snow foam and pounced on Bu Xichen, King Heng choked on the snow, coughed twice, Bu Xichen squinted at Yuan Xiu's distant back, backed by the sunset, and his eyebrows were gloomy.

King Heng coughed and got into the car in front of him by himself. Na Mei Ji knelt down in the snow again, and the wind picked up on the long street, and the sunset shone on Na Mei Ji's hands half buried in the snow, and it became more and more red.

When the sound of the horse's hooves could not be heard, Bu Xichen came to the car with a gloomy face, and when he got into the car, the tips of his boots crushed the back of the beauty, and the beauty pulled her fingers into the snow, but she didn't dare to say a word.

"Let's go!" The sound of waiting for the dust to come from the Chinese car, the little maid went to the front to tell the coachman, and the carriage moved forward slowly.

Two Chinese cars, the canopy is decorated with jade bells, the car is a line, the bells are crisp, and the music of the piano and sheng gradually sounds in the car, heading towards the palace.

Twilight Qing was thinking about King Heng's father and son all the way, and she didn't see the rumors of the emperor's arrogance and lasciviousness on Bu Xihuan, but felt that An was quite suitable for King Heng's father and son.

When Bu Xihuan entered the palace at the age of six, did King Heng protect him, has he done his best all these years?

Bu Xichen has booked the son of Heng Wangfu, how is the brotherhood with Bu Xihuan?

Who is Princess Heng?

Thinking like this all the way, when it was already dark when he arrived at the palace gate, Dusk Qing got off the horse, handed over the war horse to the moon kill, and entered the palace with Yuan Xiu.

The palace banquet is on the Wenyuan Palace, the table is open on two sides, one side is several rows, the first row of seats on both sides are arranged by the princes and nine qing, a product of important ministers, and the officials of the Wuhu envoy group, Yuan Xiu and other generals of the Northwest Army are still honored today, and they are meritorious ministers, and they are also arranged in the first column.

According to the official character, Twilight Qing sat at the end of the first column, next to Zhao Liangyi and other generals of the Northwest Army.

People haven't come yet, waiting for people are quite bored, Zhao Liangren and others have impatience on their faces, but Twilight Qing doesn't feel bored, this kind of gathering place for people is what she can't ask for, and her interest in observing people in such places is second only to autopsy.

The courtiers greeted each other, and there were too many secrets revealed by their demeanor and demeanor, who was close friends with whom, who was false and wrongful with whom, and who was hostile to whom, just by looking at it.

Twilight observed carefully, and when it got dark, the hundreds of officials in the hall had almost arrived, except for the Wuhu envoys, and the first row of seats was empty.

I don't know who is at that table, and I haven't come so late.

Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard a song from the palace people outside the palace!

"King Jin has arrivedβ€”"
