A shield-shaped bronze mirror carved with a nebula pattern on the front and gold and silver threads on the back.

Bronze mirror buttons, button seats are readily available, at a glance you know that it is a well-made, high-quality thing.

He didn't even look at it, snapped the lid of the wooden box and threw it on the table.

"What's wrong?" Liu Huilin pushed the door in with a white porcelain and blue pattern tea cup.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw his son with a black face, staring at the wooden box in front of him like an enemy.

Wei Yi saw that his mother came with the teacup in person, and hurriedly stepped forward to take it.

"If you ask someone to do this kind of rough work, why should your mother do it herself?" Liu Huilin hasn't said it yet, he also knows what kind of perfect tonic soup is contained in this tea cup.

Wei Yi is the son of the Wei family and the only son.

Liu Huilin gave birth to two sons one after another, but neither of them lived to be a year old and died early. Later, a fortune teller came, saying that Wei Yi's life was hard, and he hit the Ke brothers and sisters, and he wanted the Wei family not to be reluctant. Liu Huilin lost two sons in a row, and listened to the fortune teller's judgment, which was painful. Wei Zhonghong felt sorry for his beloved wife and persuaded the elders in the family that only Wei Yi had one child in this life. Fortunately, Wei Yi has been smart and lively since he was a child, knows poetry and books, learns martial arts, is good at piano and chess, and is good at shooting, becoming the pride of the Wei family.

Wei Zhonghong served as the national eunuch and was once a poet and calligrapher of the princes. Later, the third prince Li Zhong was made the crown prince, and he was pointed out by the Taizu as the prince, and the full-time prince taught. Wei Yi grew up with a group of princes since he was a child, and the princes were like brothers, and when he reached the age of eighteen, the young ancestor who had already ascended the throne told him that he could choose the position in the court. Unexpectedly, Wei Yi was very assertive, unwilling to assist the government, and just wanted to enter Bianjing Mansion and follow the famous criminal officer Murong Jin at that time to learn the autopsy.

Wei Liu and Wei Yi have always been very fond of Wei Yi, and Wei Yi has never disappointed the second elder, so although Wei Yi's choice was beyond everyone's expectations, the second elder still strongly supported it. Shaozu has always regarded Wei Yi as his own brother, and when he saw that he insisted, he didn't say anything more. Especially Liu Huilin, who asked for warmth all day long, and also searched for soup recipes from all over the place, and said that his son's current position was laborious and brain-consuming, and how to make up for it if he was not good. Wei Yi is also very filial, since it is Liu Huilin's intention, he doesn't care if it is good or bad or whether he can drink it or not, he drinks it all as ordered, and drinks it all, which makes Liu Huilin very happy.

Of course, tonight is no exception, Wei Yi took the teacup, uncovered the tea, and drank it all without asking.

Liu Huilin said with a smile, "My mother wanted to walk around, and when she saw that the light was still on in your room, she came alone." ”

She pointed to the wooden box on the table and asked, "What's in it that upsets my son?" ”

Wei Yi put down the teacup and said, "It's not unpleasant, it's just that I don't need it, it's better to take it from my mother, it's a bronze mirror given by my colleague today." ”

Liu Huilin heard that it was a "bronze mirror", covered her mouth and smiled, "It seems that those colleagues didn't inquire clearly in advance, I don't know that Yi'er never needs to say that thing, and it seems that she has a grudge against that thing, and she has to avoid it every time she sees it." This is good, but it adds an ornament to the old body. ”

Wei Yi also smiled, helped Liu Huilin sit down and said, "Man, what are you doing with that thing." ”

Liu Huilin continued, "It's a pity that Yi'er's handsome face is gone." ”

Wei Yi smiled silently.

Liu Huilin saw that he was wearing a middle coat and said, "Yi'er, are you going to sleep?" Your Majesty is here, and he is playing chess with Zhonghong in His Excellency Wenruo, and I am afraid that I will see you later. ”

When Wei Yi heard this, his face sank, and he lowered his head and sat next to Liu Huilin.

"Your Majesty is here, I'm afraid I still have to ask about Tianshui, can you think of a good explanation?" Liu Huilin lowered her voice and held Wei Yi's hand.

Wei Yi let out a sigh, "What's the explanation?" Every time the child tells the truth, but His Majesty he-"

He didn't continue.

Since ancient times, emperors have been suspicious.

The ninth brother Li Yu once competed with the young ancestor Li Zhong for the crown prince, and later Li Zhong was made the crown prince, and the ninth brother became the ninth prince.

After Taizu's death, Li Zhong ascended the throne, and the first thing he did was to check the palace with the same surname.

On the surface, it is said that he is upright, and the anti-corruption is from top to bottom, setting an example for the people of the world, and people with discerning eyes understand that this is the new emperor beginning to eliminate dissidents.

After a vigorous investigation for half a year, all the old subordinates of Brother Jiu and the dignitaries who had dealings with Brother Jiu were arrested.

Brother Jiu couldn't sit still.

He handed over a petition and said that he would volunteer to stay in Tianshui in the northwest for the rest of his life, never return to Beijing, and guard the Li family.

Tianshui?

It is a good place, the Gobi desert, not a single grass grows, flying sand and rocks, severe cold and heat, people and animals can hardly live.

Shaozu quickly approved the request.

Why not? The person he was afraid of was Brother Jiu, and as soon as Brother Jiu left, he would have a reputation of "fratricide".

It's just that the ninth brother left, but he didn't take away the suspicion of the young ancestor.

The young ancestor always "remembered" this younger brother who was suffering far away in the northwest, and from time to time sent people to "visit" during the Mid-Autumn Festival. And he, who has a brotherhood with the ninth brother of the young ancestor, and is not a member of the royal family, has become the most suitable candidate in the eyes of the young ancestor.

Thinking of this, Wei Yi stroked his forehead.

He really didn't like the character.

Liu Huilin sighed, "Among the royal family, how can there be brotherhood, and some are all suspicion and defense. It's just that I pity my son, and I run between Tianshui and Beijing every year. Not to mention people, even Bai Yiju, who has always been known for his sturdyness, couldn't bear it, and got sick for the first time. Mother feels sorry for you. ”

Wei Yi smiled lightly, "The child is young, and going out to run more is a kind of experience, but it is true that Bai Yiju suffered." It has been ten years since he was three years old, and in two or three years, I am afraid that he will be retired. This time, the child found a suitable horse boy for him to take good care of him. ”

"You kid." Liu Huilin said angrily, "Young? You're all in ten now, and you're still young? Shao Yangli, the son of the right attendant of the Criminal Department who is the same age as you, is now the father of three children, what about you? When can I let my mother hold my grandchildren? ”

Wei Yi's eyes darkened.

To say that the only thing he is ashamed of the second elder of the Wei family is this matter.

He is the only son of the Wei family, and he knows the mission of inheriting the lineage, and he also understands the feelings of his father and mother looking forward to his marriage.

However, how can he, who was once in the sea, be easy to water?

Liu Huilin saw that Wei Yi was depressed, softened her heart, and said repeatedly, "Yi'er Mo has to take his mother's nagging to heart, his mother is just trying to be happy." Is it a child's play to be a lifelong event? Yi'er thought it through, and it was a matter of course. The mother is not in a hurry, the mother is not in a hurry. Besides, when has my son been disappointed, I will bring a good daughter-in-law who is both gentle and virtuous to my mother. ”

Wei Yi's heart warmed, he held Liu Huilin's hand, and said softly, "Mother." ”
