The summer capital is stuffy and hot, and with the people coming and going on the streets, it's really easy to make people feel bad. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xie Zhaolin walked to a shaded place under a tree and slowed down, holding down his chest, feeling still a little greasy and disgusting.

Alas, there are too many sugar shakers! I was very happy when I ate it, I thought it was soft and sweet, melted in my mouth, and very delicious. But now after eating, I feel really uncomfortable.

Hongqing stood aside, helped her stroke her back, and asked a few words from time to time, and her concern was beyond words.

Xie Zhaolin shook her head, signaling that she was fine. Hongqing took a look, and sure enough, after eating, she came out to disperse, breathable, and the young lady's originally depressed face has improved a lot, and the flush that should have appeared in this summer day has reappeared.

"Hongqing, there is such a big thing at home, and I actually come out to eat snacks happily, isn't it quite heartless?" Walking forward slowly, Xie Zhaolin turned his head sideways and asked Hongqing.

Hongqing was staring at her toes in a daze, and she said with a soothing smile on her face when she heard this: "No, if Miss has to meddle in this matter, Madam will definitely be in a hurry." Miss just needs to protect herself, and this is not called heartless. Besides......"

"And what?"

"Miss is suddenly so sensible, it will be gratifying, but it is not peaceful......" Hongqing's voice lowered, and it seemed that it had taken a lifetime of strength to finish speaking.

Xie Zhaolin lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Was I very ignorant before? ”

"No, I just don't think about it that much! The slave always feels that you are not as cheerful as before. ”

"Really?" Xie Zhaolin looked into the distance, thoughtful. "Let's go, go find the big brother." A sigh spread through the air, and the master and servant headed towards the west of the city.

The gate of Bangyan Mansion is still closed, and the houses opposite the door are also closed, and even people passing by have to walk around, especially young women.

And this time, for Xie Zhaolin's appearance, the people who saw it were no longer surprised, and they were still gathered together, whispering that no one knew, while staring at the two of them.

For this kind of behavior, Xie Zhaolin was no longer surprised, she stood there unconsciously, with a cold face, Hongqing had already called the door, and there was an echo from inside.

The door opened, but it was Xie Yu who came out, he changed into a smoke-blue narrow-sleeved robe today, with a jade belt of the same color hanging around his waist, but his face was still tired that could not be removed, and it seemed that he had been dragged enough in the past few days.

"You came, just in time to go with your eldest brother to see your parents, I have a house in the east of the city." Seeing Xie Zhaolin at the door, Xie Yu said.

The little guy had already called the carriage, and the two of them got into the carriage and went away with Hongqing.

The east of the city is the most distant from the west of the city, and Xie Yue thought that he was afraid that his parents and sister would be disturbed again, and there was no good house on the outskirts of the city, so he made this plan.

The carriage carried a few people towards the west of the city, the road was unusually quiet, Xie Yue sat there, his eyes slightly closed to recuperate, probably disturbed by the recent rumors in the capital.

Speaking of rumors, Xie Zhaolin's mind faintly echoed the words of the second shopkeeper just now, she wanted to ask Xie Yu, but when she saw the tiredness on her eldest brother's face, she couldn't bear it.

Forget it, if the eldest brother wants her to know, he will naturally tell her. Don't bother yourself, Xie Zhaolin thought secretly, swallowed back what he wanted to ask, and was speechless all the way until the carriage passed through the lively city and stopped in front of a simple courtyard.

Different from the Zhumen Daiwa of Bangyan Mansion, although the area of this courtyard is not small, it is very simple and light, and a few green bamboos stretch out from the carved pantice on the wall, which makes people feel comfortable just looking at it.

Xie Yu and Xie Zhaolin got out of the car, stood outside the door, knocked on the door, and after a while, there was an answer, but the other party just stood inside and asked, and did not open the door.

It wasn't until Xie Yu revealed his identity that there was a procrastination inside, the door was opened, and a head poked out, it was Mama Tian, the right-hand man beside Mrs. Xie.

She turned around with a pair of shrewd eyes to look around, and then beckoned Xie Yu and Xie Zhaolin to come in, which made people think that she was the master.

What's going on? Mama Tian is a sensible person, although Xie Yu and Xie Zhaolin are not difficult to serve, she does this, at most, the two of them muttered a few words in their hearts, but they will not change color and sell people at every turn.

It's just really weird!

Mama Tian led the way in front, and the brother and sister walked behind, muttering in their hearts, but soon, they understood what was going on!

Passing through the circular ring gate, there are several tables of eight immortals set up in the courtyard, and several Taoist priests are chanting words around them, among them there is also a peach wood sword dancing in his hand, and a yellow talisman is inserted in it, I don't know what the Taoist priest did to it, suddenly it caught fire, and then slowly burned into ashes.

During this period, the Taoist priest continued to dance, and took the cup on the table and drank it all, puffed out his cheeks and spit it out again, the rich smell of wine wafted in the air, and even Xie Zhaolin and a few people who had not yet come close could smell it.

Xie Zhaolin stared at a few Taoist priests for a while, and then shifted his gaze to the four people not far away: father, mother, Xie Jialin and Aunt Liu.

The parents stood farther away, unable to see what kind of expressions they were at the moment, but Xie Jialin and Aunt Liu's descriptions really startled her.

It has been more than half a month since Xie Zhaolin left home, and Xie Jialin and her have not seen each other for a long time, so in Xie Zhaolin's mind, the fourth sister still looks thin when she just came out of the ancestral hall.

But when I saw it today, Xie Jialin couldn't just use the word thin to describe it. She wore a rare gray-brown cotton gauze coat, which was unusually loose. The inner lining is also white, and the hair is only tied in a simple bun, and even a hairpin is not worn, and the whole person seems to be ten years old.

And as the distance got closer, Xie Zhaolin, who gradually saw her face clearly, was even more surprised.

I saw that Xie Jialin's eyes were sunken, the original sparkling eyes, and the beautiful eyes with affection had lost their former brilliance, which was full of fatigue and confusion. The chin is so sharp that it can be prickly, and the white and smooth skin that used to be is also dull yellow, and it is no longer as glamorous and moving as it used to be.

And although Aunt Liu on the side is not so exaggerated, it is not much better.

What's going on? As far as Xie Zhaolin knows, on the second day of the incident in the west of the city, everyone except the eldest brother had already moved out of Bangyan Mansion, how could they be so affected? Besides, you shouldn't do things here, right?

As the distance narrowed again, Mrs. Xie and Master Xie, who were standing there, saw Mama Tian and the two brothers and sisters Xie Yu behind them.

"Why are you here?" As soon as she saw the second daughter following behind, Mrs. Xie said with dissatisfaction. (To be continued.) )
