Chapter Ninety-Four: Night Talk
Xufu, the quiet moon is secluded, and it hangs alone in the sky.
Xu Shiheng sat in the room. In front of the bookcase, the pen was suspended in the air, and he looked at a jade pendant hanging on the desk with a crack on it.
"Young master, the master called you to the study." A servant approached the door and bowed his head.
Suddenly coming back to his senses, he replied lightly. The pen stood up and straightened his clothes a little. When he was about to go out, he looked back at the jade pendant on the desk, took off the jade pendant after a while, walked to the bed in the inner room, stuffed the jade pendant under the pillow, and straightened the pillow quilt before going out.
When he got to the study, he exhaled lightly and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Xu Shu's voice came, as cold as ever.
"Father, you call me?" Entering, he bowed his head respectfully.
"Well," Xu Shu turned around and glanced at him and said, "Did you say hello to your mother today?" ”
Xu Shiheng's body stiffened, "Not yet." I just returned to Anyang today, and there is a ......"
"I'll go and say hello in a while, and then go to the ancestral hall and kneel for two hours." Without allowing him to finish speaking, Xu Shu returned to the bookcase and sat down expressionlessly, "Don't be a waiter and forget your catties." ”
“…… Be. ”
"Five days later, all the invitations to the banquet have been sent out?" He looked up.
"It's all delivered."
"Don't mess up this time, Xiangye wants to meet Hang Yue in person." After speaking, she frowned, "It's also good luck for her, she didn't die last time, but this time she let Xiangye notice." In the future, it may be the same person who works for Xiangye, you remember to be polite to her. ”
"The child knows."
In the study, the lights are bright. After Xu Shu finished explaining, he waved his hand, wanting to let him leave. Xu Shiheng raised his head to look at his busy father in front of him, and a faint sourness welled up in his heart.
"Father...... Can you take some time to pay tribute to your mother? Xu Shiheng stood in front of the case and lowered his head and asked.
Xu Shu froze for a moment and glanced up at him. Xu Shiheng immediately felt a thorn in his back, and after a long time, Xu Shu slowly spoke: "You don't have a mother, only a mother." I don't want to say this a second time. ”
Xu Shiheng's body stiffened, and one was stuck in his throat, but he couldn't say it anyway.
"Father has been satisfied with everything you have done since you were a child, except for this one. Don't mention your mother anymore, especially in front of your mother and Shiyan, do you hear? He admonished with a solemn face.
Xu Shiheng stood silently, still without a response. Xu Shu suddenly frowned, and was about to speak to repulse, but suddenly stopped, and after thinking about it, he snorted softly, "Or do you want to go back to your old life......
When he said this, Xu Shiheng was really shocked.
"Alright, let's get out." Knowing that this had achieved his goal, Xu Shu stopped talking and waved him out.
Slowly walking out of the study door, Xu Shiheng looked up. On the pavilion of the east courtyard, the lights were bright, and there was a faint sound of laughter, and suddenly a resentment rose, and his eyes were full of gloom and coldness.
"Madam, the eldest young master has come to greet you." By the door, the maid blessed the woman in the house and said softly. Inside the room, a noble lady in a gorgeous costume was reclining on the soft collapse, and several burlesque servants stood beside her, all stunned.
The lady waved her hand and said, "Let him in." Then he looked at the ugly Lingdao: "Stop what to do and continue acting." ”
The servants looked at each other a few times and acted again. In an instant, Xu Shiheng walked in, ignoring the servant on the side, came to the noble lady and bowed down and said, "The child has come to say goodbye to his mother." ”
"Well," the lady said with a sinister smile: "Shiheng is back, the disaster relief is hard, and he still remembers to say goodbye to me." ”
"It's the child's negligence." Xu Shiheng lowered his head.
The lady yawned boredly and said, "Okay, let's go down." ”
"Yes."
Out of the pavilion of the East Courtyard, Xu Shiheng walked towards the ancestral hall calmly.
The ancestral hall with blue bricks and white walls is lit with everlasting lanterns, and the ranking of the ancestors of the Xu family is offered on it. Xu Shiheng knelt quietly on the ground, rubbing something in his hand.
"Brother Shiheng, it turns out that you are here." A young child's voice sounded behind him, and a child dressed in rich clothes said with a sweet smile on his lips.
Min House, Tea House.
Min Shuo, who had not been so comfortable for many days, half-leaned on the couch and looked up at the bright moon in the courtyard.
In a few days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Reach out and pick up a piece of refreshment and put it in your mouth. The sweet and glutinous feeling instantly fills the mouth, take a sip of mugwort tea, the bitterness of the tea dilutes the sweetness, and when it is savored, only the sweet fragrance remains.
"Sir, General Shang has arrived." Qin Sheng walked down from the porch and leaned over.
"Hmm." Min Shuo squinted his phoenix eyes, the corners of his mouth raised, and said lazily: "Let him in." ”
Da da da is the sound of feet stepping on a plank, but there is more than one footstep. What appeared under the corridor, in addition to Shang Ying with his hands on his back, there was also the beginning of the month with his head slightly bowed.
"It just so happened that Lord Hang also arrived, so I let them come in together." Qin Sheng explained beside him. Min Shuo didn't speak, but stared at a man and a woman walking towards him.
Dressed in a pebbled green straight skirt, next to it is an emerald skirt. One is handsome and handsome, the other is beautiful and elegant, and in the corridor under the moon, walking side by side. This view, tsk.
In a moment, the two were already standing in front of him.
"We met at the door." At the beginning of the month, he opened his mouth unnaturally.
Min Shuo was still squinting and smiling, "I know." He raised his hand and pointed, "Sit down, two of you." ”
Shang Ying bowed his head and sat in his robe. At the beginning of the month, he stared at the small table with all kinds of snacks, and his eyes were shining.
"Eat." Min Shuo pursed his lips and smiled, "Tonight is a bit long, and I have already asked people to prepare dim sum tea." Saying that, he beckoned, and Qin Sheng stepped forward with two cups of tea and placed them in front of Yue Yue and Shang Ying.
After thanking Qinsheng, at the beginning of the month, he held the teacup and took a sip and said, "Lord Min, you can say that you are down to business." ”
Min Shuo raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully: "Xiao Yue'er, do you know why I invited you to come to the mansion for tea?" ”
"Now that I've decided to step into the party struggle, shouldn't Lord Min tell me about the current situation of all parties?" The beginning of the month raised an eyebrow and said, "Or...... Just want me to be an errand. ”
"Naturally, this is impossible." Min Shuo covered his mouth and smiled, turning his eyes to look at Shang Ying, who had been silent on the side, Min Shuo pouted and said, "Where to start?" He tapped his forehead, feigning distress.
"That's right. Xiao Yue'er knows what is the most popular discussion between the DPRK and China recently? He asked, with a flash of light.
"Lord Min is talking about the assassination of officials in various places?" At the beginning of the month, he nodded and said, "I've heard that in less than a month, officials in Caozhou, Fengzhou, and Yuzhou were killed. This incident shocked the government and the opposition, but the murderer could not be caught anyway, how? Does Lord Min know who the murderer is? ”
Min Shuo smiled and nodded. Stretched out his hand and pointed to Shang Yingdao beside Yue Yue, "It's exactly what this person in front of you did." (To be continued.) )
