Jinju is not as good as the capital of the city, the city is prosperous, the streets are wide, and the bustling people surround the roads.

Wei Feng has not returned for five years since he left Beijing at the age of twelve.

This time, Emperor Zhaoyuan suddenly summoned the vassal king back to Beijing, and the purpose of which Wei Feng already knew clearly in the letter. Today, he only has one heir to Wei Jichang, but Wei Jichang has a physical defect and has no chance to take the throne, and now he has a physical loss, so he has to choose the prince from among the nephews below.

Cousin Wei Yuan must have known the news early, and hurried back to the capital from Yuzhou a month ago, and was courteous in front of him today.

Wei Feng was not in a hurry, and came back from Jinzhou unhurriedly, and the time was just right. He rode in front, his eyes slightly lowered, thinking about entering the palace with his father tomorrow, when suddenly, a folded and elegant silk flower was thrown over, and it hit him right in the chest.

Wei Feng picked up the silk flower, raised his eyes, and looked at the opposite side. The girl who threw the silk flowers smiled shyly at him with red cheeks and spring eyes.

Wei Feng's face was not slight, he nodded slightly, retracted his gaze and continued to move forward. Seeing that he was not angry, the surrounding girls also became bolder, and threw the silk flowers, handkerchiefs, and sachets in their hands to him, and after a while, Wei Shizi was overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the girls, couldn't parry, held the reins, and left the crowd, which stopped.

The mansion of the Jin Dynasty still remains, but it has not been inhabited all year round, and a layer of ash has accumulated everywhere. After the cleaning, Wei Feng lived in Yunjin Zhai, the furnishings inside were still the same as before, Xue Qing and Xue Zhu led the maids to place the salute, and he entered the palace with his father Wei Liankun.

Emperor Zhaoyuan's body was not as good as before, wearing a bright yellow crown robe, looking quite energetic, sitting on the dragon chair behind him.

Emperor Zhaoyuan called Wei Liankun, the king of Jin, to him and asked some questions about the water and land of Jinzhou, as well as taxes and grain, and Wei Liankun answered them one by one.

"In the blink of an eye, Tingzhou has grown so tall, taller than your father." The topic suddenly fell on Wei Feng, Emperor Zhaoyuan looked at him with emotion, and his tone was smiling, "I heard that you are quite famous in Jinzhou, and you have come to the capital." Another day, if I have a chance, I will definitely call you to take a test to see if those people are exaggerating. ”

Wei Feng lowered his head, "The minister is waiting for you at any time." ”

The tone is clearly courteous and polite, and it makes people hear the unbeatable self-confidence. Emperor Zhaoyuan looked at him, suddenly chuckled, waved his hand and did not continue the topic, "Since you are back, let's go to the queen and have a look." You and Ji Chang haven't seen each other for many years, and there must be a lot to say, I can't go over, you can go over. ”

Leaving the imperial study, Wei Feng went to the Zhaoyang Hall where Empress Liu lived.

It was evening when I left the palace, the twilight was dull, a dim light in the west crushed the last halo, and the sun had set.

Wei Feng turned over and walked for a while, and happened to meet Su Qi, the eldest prince of the Governor's Mansion.

When Wei Feng didn't go to Jinzhou, he studied at Sansong Academy with Su Qi, and he was a classmate for two years, and he was a gentleman's friend. In addition, Su Qi's mother and Wei Feng's mother are sisters, and the relationship is even closer. The two hadn't seen each other for many years, and after a few words on the road, Su Qi invited him to sit in the Governor's Palace. Wei Feng saw that it was not early, so he politely refused, and only said that he would go back again.

Su Qi was not reluctant, said goodbye to Wei Feng at the intersection, and went back to their homes.

The Governor's Palace, just in time for the end of the school. Su Qi led the horse and stopped at the door, and saw a few little girls walking out of it, the first two were talking and laughing, wearing a pink and blue horse-faced skirt, which was the fifth and sixth cousins of the General's Mansion. The girl in the back is a little smaller, wearing a smoky pink embroidered gold shirt on top, a double-knee horse skirt below, a round apple face, chubby, a pair of dark and bright eyes, and the whole person looks soft and well-behaved. When she saw him, she walked up to her with a smile on her skirt, and said crisply, "Brother Lobby." ”

Su Yi turned over and dismounted, and said with a smile: "Youyou, why did you get out of school so late?" ”

Su Xi said: "Master Qiu asked us to paint a picture today, which delayed for some time. ”

Su Yi bowed his head and saw that it was getting dark, although General Su's Mansion was not far from the Governor's Mansion, but for the sake of safety, he said, "I'll send you back." ”

The fifth girl over there, Su Lingrong, got into the carriage, lifted the curtain and smiled, "Brother Lobby, you don't know, right...... Today, Sister Xi'er's painting was severely criticized by Qiu Fuzi, saying that the bamboo she painted looked like wheat seedlings, and the master was angry. ”

Su Xi's face turned red and called out "Fifth Sister".

Su Yi smiled and said disapprerovingly: "Everyone has their own strengths, and I heard Mr. Chu say that the ninth sister's Chu Ci is very good." ”

Su Lingrong flattened her mouth and disagreed. Master, that's a polite word, where did Sister Xi learn it? She didn't learn it as well as her, and she had already learned what her master hadn't taught her. He didn't say anything more.

Later, Su Qi and Wei Feng met several times.

In order to understand the current affairs in the capital, Wei Feng often walked around with Su Qi. On this day, Su Yu invited Wei Feng to the Governor's Mansion again, but he did not refuse and came to visit.

After seeing Second Lady Su and Old Lady Yu, Su Yu took Wei Feng to his courtyard. I hadn't gone far when I heard an intermittent cat meow in front of me, thin, high-pitched, as if asking for help. Su Qi turned around and walked over there, and saw a snow-white cat lying on a plum tree not far in front of him, and a little girl was standing under the plum tree, standing on tiptoe, stretching out her arms, trying to take the cat down from the tree.

It's a pity that the branches are too high, and she is too short to reach for half a day.

"Sugar Snowball, you jump down, I'll pick you up ......" The crispy voice carried a hint of nervousness.

Seeing this, Su Yu smiled and said, "This is my ninth sister." Presumably, the cat was playful and climbed up the tree by himself. ”

As he spoke, he was about to go over to rescue him, but as soon as he took a step, the cat called "Sugar Snowball" suddenly bowed up, jumped down from the tree, and pounced on Su Xi's head at once. Su Xi was caught off guard, was taken two steps back by the cat, fell to the ground with a plop, and screamed mournfully.

Su Qi hurriedly stepped forward, and Wei Feng paused and followed.

Walking up, Su Xi had already pulled the sugar snowball off his head, held it in his arms, and looked up at the comer. The round face, the eyes are like black grapes soaked in water, white and tender, like the Lantern Festival dumplings eaten on the Shangyuan Festival, as soon as you bite into it, there will be sweet and glutinous sesame fillings flowing inside. Wei Feng connected with the person in front of him for no reason.

Su Xi was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly stood up from the ground with a sugar snowball in his arms, and shouted, "Brother ...... lobby"

Su Qi saw that she was not injured, so he introduced to her, "Youyou, this is Wei Feng, the prince of the Jin Dynasty, Wei Tingzhou." ”

Su Xi lowered his head, a trace of discomfort flashed across his face, but he still called obediently: "Wei Shizi." ”

Wei Feng looked at her, and Shaoqing said politely: "Miss Su." ”

Immediately afterwards, the fourth girl, Su Lingyin, and the eighth girl, Su Lingran, came over, and Su Xi hurriedly said goodbye to the two and ran away.

Wei Feng didn't stay long, and seeing that the time was not early, he said goodbye to Su Qi and left.

Later, when Wei Feng came to the Governor's Palace, he met Su Xi several times. Either the clan learned from the school, or the master led them to the courtyard to paint, Su Xi was always at the end, with a delicate temperament, and his smile was a bit like sweet sesame rice balls.

Until one day, Wei Shizi finally remembered where that familiar feeling came from.

Su Xi sat in the pavilion with Su Lingyin and Su Lingran eating snacks, her eyes crooked, with a look of satisfaction.

At the beginning of Mingjue Temple, there was a little girl holding a piece of dim sum in her hand, and she also looked like this, while eating pastries, she bent her eyes and jumped up and down with satisfaction, and accidentally knocked over a pot of Jianlan that was the favorite of the abbot of Mingkong. The little girl was frightened, stood in place, looked up and saw him, stunned for a while, knew how to bribe people at a young age, and held a half-eaten pastry full of saliva to him, nervous, flattering, and said in a milky voice: "Brother, don't say, it's not good?" ”

Wei Feng frowned slightly, firstly, he didn't like to eat sweets, secondly, he didn't eat other people's leftover snacks, and thirdly, he didn't plan to make a small report.

So Wei Feng only glanced at the little girl in front of him, ignoring her expectant Ai Ai's eyes, and strode away.

*

Later, Su Xi's grandfather suffered a stroke, and Su Xi stayed at home to take care of the old lady, and hardly went out except for the family and clan studies.

Wei Feng went to the Governor's Mansion less often, and he never met her again.

He didn't take the little episode of jade bean cake to heart.

The next time we met, it was two years later. Old lady Su celebrated his birthday, Wei Feng also came, and halfway through the birthday banquet, he went to the backyard to change his clothes, and when he came back, he was stopped under the corridor. Yin Mengming handed him the sachet embroidered with bamboo rhyme evergreen patterns in her hand, lowered her eyebrows, and said shyly and timidly: "Wei Shizi, this is the sachet I embroidered, if you don't dislike it, just accept it......"

Wei Feng stood quietly and didn't say anything.

Yin Mengming's hand was raised in the air, and she raised her eyes to look at him, a little flustered, "I heard that the other day was your birthday, I didn't mean anything else, I just wanted to ......"

"Miss Yin." Wei Feng interrupted her, her voice was clear and light, without a trace of emotion. "Do you often give people this kind of personal object?"

Yin Mengming's face changed, and she immediately realized the irony in his words, and she was ashamed and ashamed, her eyes were red, and she turned around and ran away quickly.

Wei Feng's face did not change, and he raised his eyes to look at the ginkgo tree opposite. Behind the tree, a corner of the lake's blue clothes was revealed, and after a while, Su Xi walked out from behind, and without waiting for him to speak, he immediately raised his hands to cover his eyes, "I didn't see anything." ”

Wei Feng looked at her, speechless, and for some reason, suddenly wanted to call her to him. It's a pity that before he could speak, someone behind him called her name, and she breathed a sigh of relief without a trace, and didn't even greet him, just like a mouse seeing a cat, turned around and ran away with her skirt.

Wei Feng paused for a moment and walked back to the front yard, his face no different from Fang Cai.

At the birthday banquet, Wei Feng met Fu Shaoyun, the eldest prince of the Qingguo Mansion, who was the person who stopped Su Xi just now.

Fu Shaoyun and Su Fu walked around diligently, and Old Lady Su seemed to like this person quite a bit between his words. I heard that he has a good relationship with Miss Su Jiu, a childhood sweetheart, and the two have no guesses.

Once Wei Feng came back from running errands outside, it was at night, and he saw him come out of the Jade Building with Su Xi, who was dressed as a man. The mutton soup pot in the Jade Building is very famous, Wei Feng rode past them on horseback, and heard Fu Shaoyun say: "I will bring you to eat next time......

They didn't see Wei Feng. Su Xi nodded again and again, his eyes bright and bright under the light of the lantern on the eaves, "Okay." ”

Wei Feng originally thought that the Su family would marry the Qingguo Mansion, but what he didn't expect was that Su Xi finally married Li Yan of the Luyang Hou Mansion.
