Xi Yunzhi stood by the door with a blanket and waited for Bu Qin to go home.

Lao Lu of the porter asked her to stay in the house, but Xi Yunzhi waved her hand and refused, the cold wind in the middle of the night made her nose a little sour, and the lantern hanging high in front of the general's mansion emitted a faint yellow light.

When Bu Qin's sedan chair landed, Xi Yunzhi rushed up to meet him.

Bu Qin lifted the curtain and saw Xi Yunzhi's look of excitement in anticipation, and saw that her nose was almost frozen red, so he couldn't help but hug her into his arms, lifted his felt, and let her hide in.

"I saw him today."

Xi Yunzhi said such a sentence to Bu Qin inexplicably.

Bu Qin frowned, expressing his puzzlement, Xi Yunzhi hugged his waist tightly and said:

"He was sitting on horseback, and he still looked so young, as I remembered, and he hadn't changed in the slightest."

"Who are you talking about?" Bu Qin watched her burrow into his arms like a little sheep, and stabbed Zhao Yi and Han Feng who were snickering on the side, and the two immediately smiled, beckoned the entourage to enter the house, and asked the little couple to talk to you and me outside the door.

"My father."

Xi Yunzhi's eyes were shining, and it seemed that these two words still moved her.

Bu Qin was still puzzled: "What's wrong with your father?" Didn't you say that you didn't want to see him? ”

Xi Yunzhi stared at Bu Qin for a long time, and then said, "Who said I didn't want to?" If I had known that he was the new champion this year, then I would have gotten up in the middle of the night and waited at the door. ”

Bu Qin didn't speak, but stared at her for a long time before he asked hesitantly:

"Didn't you know in advance that this year's champion was your father?"

Xi Yunzhi shook his head: "I thought it was Xi Yun, because he didn't marry the daughter of the Ministry of Rites?" I thought he was the champion this year. ”

“……”

The two looked at each other, as if there was some misunderstanding, which was miscommunicated by him.

***

Early the next morning, Xi Zheng was invited into the General's Mansion.

Xi Yunzhi got up before the hour and cooked breakfast herself, a large pot of white porridge, a plate of boiled eggs, and some pickles that she pickled herself.

When Xi Zheng came, Xi Yunzhi was setting up the dishes and chopsticks, he was stunned outside the door and didn't dare to come in, Xi Yunzhi put down the dishes and chopsticks, took a deep breath, walked outside the door, stretched out his hand to pull him in, sat on a Taishi chair, and put a pair of chopsticks and an egg into his hands.

Bu Tan handed the felt on his shoulder to Han Feng, and he also sat down at the dinner table.

After Xi Yunzhi served a bowl of steaming porridge to Xi Zheng, he also served a bowl to Bu Qin, Bu Qin was not polite, snoring and drinking, but Xi Zheng looked at the white porridge and eggs in front of him, and couldn't eat it.

In the end, under Xi Yunzhi's urging, he held back his trembling lips, took a sip of porridge, and immediately raised his head to look at Xi Yunzhi, only to see her smile gently:

"Eat it. When the eggs are cold, they smell fishy. ”

“……”

Xi Zheng nodded silently, Bu Qin looked at the father and daughter as if they often met, there was no fierce recognition scene he expected, you know, he deliberately wore a strong suit today, just to deal with the situation that the two of them fought without saying a word, but I didn't expect it to ......

After breakfast, Bu Qin didn't plan to sit with the father and daughter, returned to the room, changed into court clothes, and went to the court.

Xi Zheng smashed the egg, picked out the egg whites and egg yolks with chopsticks and ate them, and with a little pickles, he ate three bowls of porridge and five eggs.

Each eggshell is upside down on the table.

Xi Yunzhi sat at a table with him, eating unrelated to each other, Xi Zheng's porridge bowl was empty, Xi Yunzhi would raise his head and take the initiative to ask him if he wanted it, Xi Zheng nodded, handed the bowl to her, she stood up and served it for him, looking at each other speechlessly, but the atmosphere was very tacit and harmonious.

Xi Zheng looked at the empty bowl and egg shells, his lips moved slightly, and he was about to say something, but he heard a few sounds of shouting his father outside the dining room, Xi Yunzhi immediately stood up and greeted him, only to see the chubby Xiao An being hugged by the nurse, and when he saw Xi Yunzhi, he leaned on her.

Xi Yunzhi held him in his arms and tossed him upside down, making the little guy laugh infatually, and his crisp voice echoed in the dining room.

Xi Yunzhi sat at the dinner table with Xiao An in her arms, and was about to peel eggs with her free hands, but met a pair of eager and surprised eyes.

Xi Zheng's pair of middle-aged handsome eyes couldn't be pulled off from him since he saw Xiao An, even if Xiao An just clapped his hands, he stared at it for a long time, Xi Yunzhi thought about it and said:

"Dad, I'm going to peel eggs for Xiao An, you can hug him for me."

Xi Zheng almost immediately stood up from his seat and walked to Xi Yunzhi's side with stiff steps, his arms stretched out straight and straight.

Xi Yunzhi put Xiao An on his two arms, Xiao An didn't know him, he just curled his mouth slightly, and he didn't resist too much, and after staring at Xi Zheng with two eyes for a while, he suddenly stretched out two small hands, grabbed the beard on Xi Zheng's upper lip and chin, and pulled desperately.

"Ouch, ouch."

Xi Zheng's beard was grabbed by the kid and refused to let go, and it hurt so much that his nose was sour, but he didn't want to pull away his little hand at all, so painful and happy.

The small embarrassment between Xi Yunzhi and Xi Zheng was all resolved by Xiao An in three or two clicks, probably because his grandfather's spirit of sacrificing himself to amuse him was too great, so that Xiao An had a good impression of his grandfather Xi Zheng after he let go, and he was in his arms, even Xi Yunzhi reached out to hug him, but he was unwilling.

Xi Zheng has become a professional nurse, Xiao An's royal embrace.

Xi Yunzhi took the opportunity to let Xi Zheng simply live in the General's Mansion tonight, Xi Zheng originally felt that it was inappropriate, but after Xiao An's 'sincerity' to stay, he had to stay.

***

After the Qionglin banquet, the three Dingjia Jinshi headed by the champion were all arranged for official positions.

Bangyan and Tanhua were released from Beijing without accident, became a parent official, and perhaps made political achievements, and were recalled to the capital.

But Xi Zheng, the champion, was directly left in the capital and became a Beijing official from the fourth grade.

Generally speaking, whether it is the champion or the list of people, they are the new talents selected from the folk talents, this kind of talent, relatively unknown, therefore, the emperor will first put them in other provinces, and then, depending on the potential of each person to decide whether to recall the capital for reuse, but, like Xi Zheng, do not release, directly stay in Beijing as an official, such an example is not nothing, that is, to make the emperor a son-in-law or something, the champion Lang made a horse, so naturally you can stay in Beijing to serve.

However, with Xi Zheng's age, it really doesn't match the age of the princesses, and he has a wife, if the princess wants to marry him, she has to fill the house, so I know with my knees that Xi Zheng, the champion, will never embark on the road of the horse, but surprisingly, he stayed in the end.

For the first time, the emperor gave him an idle position to study as a bachelor from the cabinet of the fourth grade.

Xi Yunzhi was originally worried that he and his father had just met and that he would soon be exiled again, but he didn't expect this to be the result, so he was overjoyed, so he discussed with Bu Qin, saying that he didn't want Xi Zheng to live in the inn alone, and let him live in the general's mansion.

Bu Qin naturally agreed, and the next day he personally took someone to invite Xi Zheng back to the mansion to settle down.

***

Xi Zheng's temperament is similar to Xi Yunzhi's, but he is more arrogant and arrogant than Xi Yunzhi.

But he can see that Bu Qin's son-in-law is still very satisfied, after he lived in the mansion, the old lady Bu invited him to live in the same courtyard, Xi Yunzhi originally thought that her father would definitely not agree, but unexpectedly, his father happily agreed to Bu Chengzong's proposal.

Xi Yunzhi only then knew that the two had a friendship before, and suddenly remembered that Uncle Yan asked her father if his name was Xi Zheng, he went to Beijing to take the exam, and spent a few nights in the former general's mansion, thinking that their friendship was established at that time.

Needless to say, Xi Zhengcai's upright personality must be loved by the old lady, this old middle-aged man has become a year-old friend who talks about everything, and Xi Zheng's arrival just makes up for the loneliness of Uncle Yan not serving by the old lady's side.

The days were peaceful and fulfilling, Xi Yunzhi had nothing else to ask for, just hoped that this kind of peaceful days would continue forever, if it wasn't for that incident.

In July of that year, King Ji was admonished to bend the law for personal gain, form a party for personal gain, and intended to rebel, the Son of Heaven was furious, and the whole of King Ji's mansion was imprisoned in the prison pending trial.

Xi Yunzhi, who knew the news, stood alone in the courtyard, waiting from Bu Qin to his next court, and when he came back, the first thing he did was to ask him:

"How's the Jiwang Mansion?"

Bu Qin knew that she had a good relationship with Princess Zhen of Ji, and when she first came to the capital, she did receive a lot of care from Princess Ji, looking at her worried look, she couldn't help but stroke her cheeks and said with a sigh:

"A few days ago, the emperor was assassinated in the imperial garden, and the military department Shangshu led people to catch the two assassins, and after the prison forced him, he said that the mastermind behind the assassination of the emperor was King Ji, who came in and walked around with the courtiers many times, and the emperor was furious, and exiled the family of King Ji to the bitter cold land in the northwest, and issued an edict that during his lifetime, King Ji would never be able to return to the dynasty."

Xi Yunzhi's face was pale: "Exile...... Northwest. ”

Bu Qin lowered his head and acquiesced, but Xi Yunzhi was still puzzled: "But, how can you convict the Jiwang Mansion based on the words of those two assassins?" Even I, a woman who doesn't understand politics, know that this matter is mysterious, why didn't the emperor investigate it thoroughly, and so easily wronged King Ji? ”

"......" Bu Qin sighed and explained to Xi Yunzhi: "The emperor is suspicious. In addition, King Ji has indeed been too close to some courtiers recently, last month's emperor's birthday, he sent a pair of longevity stickers to the emperor, saying that it was the handwriting of Wang Zhou of the previous dynasty, and the market price was 50,000 taels of silver. ”

Xi Yunzhi felt a little untenable, and the 50,000 taels of silver were ...... fifty thousand taels of silver...... Isn't it the 50,000 taels that Princess Ji borrowed from her?

This, this, did she indirectly harm the Jiwang Mansion?

Seeing that her face was different, Bu Qin took her into his arms, patted her on the back, and said:

"Didn't you tell me that everybody has everybody's life? Since this has happened, it is useless for us to be sad, they will be escorted out of the city tomorrow, and there is my sentry in the stone pavilion ten miles outside the city, if you want to send her...... I'll arrange it for you. ”

“……”

Xi Yunzhi finally couldn't help it and cried in Bu Qin's arms.

The author has something to say: the third !! Likes, haha.

A little spoiler, King Ji and Zhen will not die, the heavens will send a great responsibility, just let them be exiled and suffer some hardships, and there will be a good life for them in the future.
