153 Return to Beijing
The swaying figure of the candle flame is imprinted on the wall, which looks extremely enchanting.
He Yu and Xiao Moxian sat across from each other, and the entire room fell silent.
Just now, He Yu told Xiao Moxian about He Zixi's brothers, Xiao Moxian's face changed, but he still didn't say a word.
After being silent for a while, He Yu spoke, "Since I have adopted these two children, I naturally have the ability to ensure that they grow up safely." Big brother, I know that you have been running business outside all year round, and you know a lot of people, so ......"
"I know," Xiao Moxian interrupted He Yu's words, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Actually, last year, I went to Yungui, and at that time, there was already a rumor that the king of the southwest was at odds with his retainers, but I don't know which retainer it was. β
"Do you know why we don't get along?" He Yu sat up straight and continued to ask.
"This is not very clear, but sporadically inquired about some news, it seems that the Zhong family was originally the old department of General Xuanping, and he has always advocated guarding the water and soil of one side, but the king of the southwest is quite ambitious, especially the current one, after all, you also know that the southwest area of Yunnan and Guizhou was independent as a small country before General Xuanping's invasion, so ......"
"That's why my grandfather left the Zhong family in the southwest, and managed to become a retainer of the king of the southwest, but he still didn't look at the majestic ambition of the king of the southwest." He Yu sneered.
"Yes." Xiao Moxian's expression was stern, "However, it seems that the Zhong family knows many ulterior secrets of the King of the Southwest, so they ......."
"That's why the door was destroyed." He Yu continued the words, and he looked at the burning candle. said, "Think about it, how did the Zhong family become the retainer of the King of the Southwest? There must be a handle in the hands of the Zhong family, and the king of the southwest will be forced to reluctantly declare that the Zhong family is the retainer of the king of the southwest. β
Xiao Moxian didn't speak, He Yu didn't speak, he was thinking about something alone, after thinking about it, he stood up and walked towards the desk, "It seems that I have to ask the prince to be careful, the king of the southwest may make a move recently." β
Xiao Moxian nodded. Neither of them spoke. He Yu spread out the paper, pondered a little, and then picked up the pen to write, and the letter was written in less than a quarter of an hour. He Yu snapped his fingers, and a man in black came in silently from the window. He Yu handed the letter to the man in black. Not a word was spoken. The man in black also didn't ask a word. He picked up the letter and turned and disappeared into the night. Xiao Mo looked at this scene with a dumbfounded gaze, and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, "This." Is this your shadow guard? β
"That's right." He Yu nodded, "Don't worry, no one will know where they are on weekdays." β
Xiao Mo swallowed his saliva for a while, nodded to indicate that he understood, and then came back to his senses, "That...... What are you going to do with those two children? β
"They......" He Yu squinted his eyes and thought for a moment and said, "Actually, since they changed their names, it is very likely that they will live in hiding for the rest of their lives." β
Hearing this answer, Xiao Mo fell silent, and after a while he whispered, "This ...... Yaoyao doesn't know? β
"She doesn't need to know." He Yu was silent for a while before he said, "She likes these two children, I can see it." Therefore, I will also give them the greatest freedom within a certain distance. Of course, the premise is that they are really smart enough. β
"But at least from the past two days, the qualifications of these two children are really good."
"Yes, but I can't explain anything in the past few days, and it depends on the future." He Yu stood up and smiled relaxedly, "Okay, I'm going back to pick up my wife, but I can't let her wait for a long time, otherwise I'll be miserable." β
Xiao Moxian also got up and shook his head, "Obviously he is the first king with a different surname in the capital, and he is obviously ruthless, but after getting married, he is actually afraid of the inside, tsk." If anyone knows about it......"
"It's okay, everyone in the capital knows about it anyway," He Yu walked out with a smile, his face full of indifference, and even Xiao Moxian seemed to see a hint of pride on his face.
Hey, Xiao Mo shook his head and didn't say anything.
This period of time in Xiao Mansion can be said to be the most comfortable time for He Yu, Xiao Yao and the children.
During the day, when the children read and went to class, He Yu and Xiao Moyi studied some things in the study, and Xiao Yao never asked, if there was something that could let her know, He Yu would naturally tell her.
However, if He Yu didn't say it, Xiao Yao wouldn't ask, and if he didn't want to say it, he wouldn't say it no matter how much he asked. On the contrary, it can also destroy the relationship between husband and wife.
The women of the Xiao family would get together to go shopping during the day, embroider flowers, or chat and so on.
Occasionally, when the children were in class, He Yu and Xiao Yao went to watch, and they came across the martial arts training course.
Especially He Ziyao, Xiao Yao found that he looked very seriously when He Yu practiced swords and martial arts, and his eyes were straight and hooked, and he couldn't wait to imprint He Yu's every move into his heart. Although He Zi'an also likes to practice martial arts, but compared to He Ziyao, He Ziyi likes to fight and make trouble, or since he saw the book of war, He Ziyi likes to look at tactics and arrange troops and other things, and he is not so fond of one move and one style.
However, it doesn't matter, one person has one direction, some people like team fighting, some people like individual skills, it's okay. Xiao Yao didn't care about this.
After living comfortably for more than a month, it finally reached the point where I had to go back.
Because it's the end of the year.
As a prince who grew up in the palace since childhood, if he does not enter the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve to pay homage to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, it is a great disrespect, so he must go.
When leaving, Xiao Yao still cried uncontrollably, He Yu hugged her and didn't speak.
He Ziyi and He Zi'an were also infected by their own mother, although they didn't cry, but they were also a little depressed. He Zixi and the brothers also didn't say a word and sat in the car.
Xiao Yaoku cried enough, raised her head with red eyes to look at the carload full of people, and burst out laughing, "It's really fortunate that our carriage is big, otherwise where would I stuff so many people!" β
For a moment, the entire carriage grinned, and it was really like this.
Hurry up, without the slightest delay, and after walking for less than twenty days, I returned to the capital.
He Zixi and his brothers leaned on the car window, looking at the scene of the capital with wide eyes and curiosity, they had never been to the capital.
At this time, it was already winter in the capital, and the leaves were all over the bare trees, and the cold wind was blowing, so that the brothers, who had hardly experienced the real shock, shivered and retracted into the car.
Because when I left, no one expected to bring back the two children, so naturally I didn't prepare many clothes.
Fortunately, He Zixi is thin in life, but he is still older in He Ziyi's clothes, and He Ziyao is simply wrapped in He Yu's clothes, anyway, they are all in the car, and no one looks at them.
The car passed through the city gate and passed the bustling street market, and as the clamor became quieter and quieter, until only the sound of the carriage could be heard, Xiao Yao showed a relaxed and happy smile and said, "We're home." β
With Xiao Yao's words, the carriage slowly stopped.
He Ziyao and He Ziyi didn't need anyone's help at all, they jumped out of the carriage first, then He Yu came down, then let the two children come down, and finally Xiao Yao. Looking at the stone lion at the door, the vermilion gate, and the four big characters of "Xuanping Palace" written by Emperor Tianqi himself on the plaque, Xiao Yao leaned on He Yu and said with a chuckle, "It's really a long-lost home." β
He Yu chuckled, pulled Xiao Yao and walked in, and when he arrived at the middle courtyard, Xiao Yao said to He Zixi and He Ziyao, "This will be your home in the future." β
Hearing the word "home" again, the two children were shocked in their hearts, once they thought that there was no place for them in this world, but now they once again have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
The brothers knelt down solemnly, and kowtowed to He Yu and Xiao Yao in unison, "The kindness of the prince and the princess to us will not be forgotten in this life, and our brothers will definitely go to the soup for the prince and the princess, and we will not hesitate!" β
"Bah, what nonsense." Xiao Yao stepped forward to help the two children up, "Who asked you to go to the soup and the fire, okay, okay, hurry up and follow Zi'an and them to the place where you live, take a good bath, from now on you are also the young master of this Xuanping Palace, have a good rest, you know?" β
"Yes." The brothers obeyed Xiao Yao's words, stood up obediently, and followed He Ziyi and them to the east backyard.
After getting along these days, the relationship between the children is very good, Zixi and Ziyao are older than them, they also know their position, so naturally they will not worry about Ziyi Zi'an, and Zi'an Ziyi is under Xiao Yao's ear, and Ziyao Zixi is also regarded as his own brother, so naturally there is no disagreement.
He Yu and Xiao Yao sent the child away and went to bathe and change clothes.
After taking a bath, Xiao Yao leaned lazily on the couch, "I don't feel it when I'm on the road, why am I so tired when I come back this time." β
"That's because, when you get home, you're relaxed, little fool." He Yu also went to the bed, scratched Xiao Yao's nose, and said with a smile.
"Yes, what you said makes sense," Xiao Yao nodded matter-of-factly, "Are you going to the court tomorrow?" β
"It's a long time to travel, what kind of court," He Yu said indifferently, "I also have to rest for two days, and I have already taken leave with the emperor and the prince in advance, so naturally I won't go." β
Xiao Yao nodded, and asked instead, "That...... The matter of the Zhong family, did you sue Brother SΓΉ? β
"Well," He Yu didn't deny it, turned to look at Xiao Yao and said, "Big brother has been running business outside all the year round, and he has a wider network of contacts than me in various places, and there are many sources of various news, whether it is true or not, it is always useful." "That's right." Xiao Yao nodded, and Xiao Yao agreed with this. (To be continued......)
