Ah Xiao trembled and walked in with a big food box, and after she glanced at Xu Moxuan, she came straight to Xu Shuxuan, put the food box on the table, and took out the soup that was still steaming inside.

The decoction is amber and very transparent, and you can see that there is not a trace of stains at the bottom of the bowl.

"Master Da, just drink a little medicine! How can your body be better without taking medicine? Ah Xiao sobbed, and sent a spoonful of medicine to Xu Shuxuan's lips, looking at it with a pair of eyes, looking very pitiful.

Xu Shuxuan said lightly: "You put it down first!" I'll just drink it myself. ”

Ah Xiao's eyes blinked, and it seemed that she was about to cry again.

Xu Shuxuan sighed, took the medicine bowl with one hand, and was about to drink it all with his eyes closed, when a silver needle flew from nowhere, which happened to hit the medicine bowl, and the porcelain bowl fell on the table with a "click" and fell apart, and the decoction splashed Xu Shuxuan and A Xiao.

Ah Xiao screamed in shock, and hurriedly took a thin silk to wipe the stains on Xu Shuxuan's sleeve.

Xu Shuxuan glanced at the silver needle on the desk that had been submerged into three points. Xu Moxuan couldn't help but look at the roof.

At this time, Qin's mother strode in front of Ah Xiao, twisted her ears with one hand, and scolded angrily: "How do you do things? Can't even feed medicine, a slut, think you're a pampered lady? ”

Xu Shuxuan interrupted unhappily: "Mother Qin, I accidentally got rid of it myself, what do you blame her for?" ”

Mother Qin looked at Xu Shuxuan, laughed strangely, and said in a strange manner: "Young Master, you are too kind-hearted, serving the decoction is the duty of the subordinates, no matter who overturns, they are all slaves, isn't it, how can such a clumsy girl be qualified to be a maid in our Guogong Mansion?" ”

"Mother Qin, you are wrong about this, most of the maids in the house are trained by you, no matter how clumsy Ah Xiao is, it is also trained by you, I think this bowl of medicine has also been overturned, it is better to forget it! Go back, all of you! The eldest young master still wants to rest quietly for a while, there are more women in the room, it's really noisy! ”

Xu Moxuan put on a disgusted look like chasing flies, which made Qin's mother choke in her throat with anger when she saw it, and her face, which was already painted like a monkey's buttocks, turned into a pig's liver color again.

"Fifth young master, although the slave and maid can't control you, but there are people in this mansion who can manage you, all the young masters in the mansion go to school in the Xu clan school every day, only you don't see people all day long, you don't study well at a young age, and you mix with some prodigals who walk chickens and hunting dogs all day long, if this is known to the third master, the fifth young master will wait for the family law to serve!"

Mother Qin gritted her teeth and put on a grim appearance waiting to see a good show, and after that, she suddenly pulled Ah Xiao's hair with one hand, stepped out of the door of the study with a fierce attitude, and walked away with three or four servants.

Xu Shuxuan frowned.

Xu Moxuan couldn't help but snort coldly, and spat fiercely at Qin's mother's distant back: "Even if it's my father, he won't really care about me!" ”

After saying a word, his eyes showed a trace of gloom, the servants in the house like to talk about his life experience in private, some people say that his father raised the outer room in the outer room, and the outer room gave birth to him after he died, just three rooms and no children, his father took his illegitimate son back, and some people said even more unbearable, actually said that his biological mother was a red brand prostitute in the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion, so he became the evil seed born of the lowly embryo of those people who punished the pen raft.

Xu Moxuan likes to listen to the corner when he is fine, whether it is the eldest princess of the big house, or the Jiangnan Liu family in the second room, or his mother-in-law Lu, they will occasionally show that disdainful ridicule and disgust when talking about him.

And what makes him most sad is that his biological father, the third master of the house, Xu Nuo, never cared about him, the Xu family style is very strict, and has a reputation of a hundred years of clean and upright style, the children of the Xu family are all Zhilan Yushu, excellent in character and learning, his father is also a second-class jinshi, once served as the chief director of the criminal department, and was later transferred to Nanjing, Hangzhou to do the left and right Tongzheng and the imperial history of the capital, and now he has entered the Hanlin Academy to do the country's son of the priest wine, the career can be described as a step by step, usually I don't see him stay in Fireworks Willow Lane, but in addition to official business, He doesn't care about anything at home, his only hobby is alcoholism, and sometimes he gets drunk and goes back to the house to sleep, and no one can pull him up.

He asked his father who his mother really was. Are you still alive in this world? But the man just wouldn't answer him.

Everyone in the house sneered at him, but only Xu Shuxuan, the eldest brother, treated him as a brother.

"Big brother, do you think I was born by my father, since you don't care about me, why did you take me back?" Xu Moxuan suddenly asked.

"Mo Xuan......" Xu Shuxuan also had a trace of pity in his eyes, and he persuaded, "The third uncle actually loves you very much." ”

After hearing this, Xu Moxuan suddenly felt that he seemed to be out of shape, so he squinted his eyes and grinned at Xu Shuxuan, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

Immediately afterwards, he shouted at the roof: "Brother Chu, that old woman has already gone away, why don't you come down!" ”

I only heard the sound of the wind blowing overhead, and in an instant, a long figure stood at the door of the study.

This person is Nan Chu, who has just returned from Guangning Bofu.

"Brother Chu, why did you knock over your eldest brother's medicine just now?"

"Someone asked me to bring a word to the eldest young master, all the medicines given to the eldest young master by others, the eldest and younger medicines cannot be drunk, even the closest people."

"Who told you to bring it? Is it the little girl who went to the appointment today? Xu Moxuan said jokingly, jumped in front of him again, and asked with a grin, "How is it?" Has the big brother asked you to investigate everything clearly? Whose daughter is that little girl? ”

"How do you know she must be Miss Daughter?" Nan Chu took off a pair of black gloves from his hand and put them on the table.

Xu Shuxuan's gaze fell on the pair of gloves, thoughtful.

Xu Moxuan chased after him and asked: "I saw that the little girl was wearing good clothes, although it was not new, but it was also Hangzhou silk, it was not something that ordinary people could afford to wear, even if it was not a famous family, at least it was an official daughter!" ”

"Yes, she can still be said to be a famous lady now, but she may soon be nothing." Nan Chu replied coldly.

Xu Moxuan was confused, and hurriedly asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Nan Chu walked in front of Xu Shuxuan, bowed his hand, and replied with a very solemn expression: "Lord Shizi, Nan Chu has found out that the little girl is the daughter of Han Mo, the fourth master of Guangning Bofu, and her mother is Mrs. Yang who used to be the crown of the capital, and the prince should be no stranger to Mrs. Yang!"

Xu Shuxuan's face sank when he heard this.

Xu Moxuan didn't seem to hear the crux of the question, and asked curiously: "Brother Chu, the Mrs. Yang of the Yanguan Capital you are talking about is the Mrs. Yang who is often praised by those celebrities and talents?" I have also heard some deeds about Mrs. Yang, it seems that she participated in a literary competition in the Baume & Mercier Hall seven years ago, Mrs. Yang has witty words, words and poems at her fingertips, which can be described as wonderful, and won three championships in a row, and none of the talents in the Jinggui circle at that time were her opponents. I heard that her calligraphy is also a must, inheriting the vertical cloud body of Hedong Wei in the Jin Dynasty, the calligraphy and painting can be described as beautiful, and she also left many popular poems. Are you talking about her? ”

"Yes, it's this Mrs. Yang." Nan Chu replied.

"I didn't expect that little girl to be her daughter, and that little girl must be as beautiful as her mother when she grows up." Xu Moxuan looked at Xu Shuxuan with a smile, "Big brother, you are blessed." ”

Regarding Xu Moxuan's joke, Xu Shuxuan did not have half a smile on his face, but his expression became more solemn and uneasy.

"Big brother, what's wrong with you?" Xu Moxuan asked puzzled.

At this time, Nan Chu also looked at Xu Moxuan very solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Fifth Young Master, you probably don't know the origin of this Mrs. Yang, she is Yang Shizhong's daughter. ”

Xu Moxuan was startled, it wasn't a picture of sitting upright, and he almost fell off the table in shock.

"You mean, it's Yang Shizhong, her daughter, who is now in the prison of the Criminal Department? That little girl is Yang Shizhong's granddaughter? Xu Moxuan asked in a hoarse voice.

Nan Chu nodded.

Xu Moxuan's face was instantly covered with a heavy color.

"It's over, that little girl shouldn't want to avenge her grandfather, right? Otherwise, what did she come to her eldest brother for? Xu Moxuan turned to Xu Shuxuan and asked, "Big brother, she asked you to meet in Lanting, did she mention this?" ”

Xu Shuxuan shook his head and said, "No." ”

He asked Nan Chu again: "You have followed them for a day today, but you have found other news, such as Guangning Bofu." ”

"Yes, today there is a happy event in Guangning Bofu, it seems that the Zhongguan has passed on two holy decrees, one is to promote Han Mo to Dali Temple, and the other is to give Han Qingluo, the daughter of the Han family, as a concubine."

"Without going through the draft, you were directly given the title of concubine?" Xu Moxuan was very surprised, there had never been a precedent for Da Yu to directly seal the concubine.

Nan Chu replied, "It seems to be." ”

Xu Shuxuan's eyes froze, thoughtful.

Xu Moxuan asked again: "Is the little girl doing well with her mother in the house?" ”

Nan Chu hesitated for a moment and replied: "It doesn't seem good, Mrs. Yang took her daughter to be alone in the Guangning Bo Mansion, and it seems that she has not been on good terms with Han Mo for a long time, and Han Mo seems to want to raise a concubine as a flat wife recently." The old lady of the Han family doesn't seem to like Mrs. Yang either, and wants to force her son to divorce his wife. ”

These were all the news he sent to inquire about after sending Han Ling and the Yang family back to Bofu.

When Xu Moxuan heard this, his eyes widened in surprise: "How is this possible?" Before Mrs. Yang got married, many of the children of the Jingzhong family rushed to come to the door to propose, so the fourth master of the Han family was blessed by several generations to marry Mrs. Yang, how could he divorce his wife now? ”

Nan Chu sighed: "Mrs. Yang is too strong, I heard that she has been alone since she married into Guangning Bofu, it seems that she has not let go of the past." ”

"In the past? What is Mrs. Yang's past, Brother Chu, do you know? Xu Moxuan's gossip curiosity ignited immediately.

Nan Chu glanced at him and said, "You just said that Mrs. Yang won three consecutive championships in the Wenhui competition seven years ago, and no one in Beijing was her opponent, but in fact, it wasn't entirely right, she still lost to one person in the end." ”

"Who?"

"Jiang Qilang."

Hearing this name, Xu Moxuan thought about it according to his eyebrows and asked, "Who is Jiang Qilang?" I don't think I've heard of it. ”

Nan Chu replied: "It's normal that you haven't heard of it, now the people in Beijing are afraid of Yan Xiang's father and son, and no one dares to mention Jiang Qilang's matter anymore." But seven years ago, Jiang Qilang's reputation was also known to everyone. ”

"Dingyuan Houfu Jiang Jiaqilang was once also a genius in the capital, he was handsome and arrogant, chic and uninhibited, although he was born in a famous family, but he loved to call the people of the rivers and lakes brothers, he once led three thousand people in the rivers and lakes to help the Yang family army to fight against the Japanese invaders, and was not afraid of the powerful to fight the traitors in the court, Yan Xiang father and son dictatorship, Yan Fan blatantly robbed women on the street, he didn't care about it and blinded one of Yan Fan's eyes......"

"It turns out that Yan Fan's eye was blinded by him! This Jiang Qilang has courage and personality, I like it, if I have the opportunity to meet him, I must call him brother. Xu Moxuan said enthusiastically, suddenly feeling that the atmosphere was not right, and glanced at Xu Shuxuan and Nan Chu with a smile.

Who knew that these two people were still stern on their faces, and they were all sad and heavy.

Nan Chu lowered his voice and said: "This Jiang Qilang, I'm afraid you won't be able to see it, just because he offended Yan Fan with jealousy and hatred, so he ......"

"Nan Chu, don't say it again." Xu Shuxuan interrupted abruptly.

Nan Chu stopped talking.

Xu Moxuan was aroused, and said unrelentingly: "Why don't you say it, I still want to hear Jiang Qilang's story!" Oh, by the way, Brother Chu, we were obviously talking about Mrs. Yang just now, why did you suddenly mention Jiang Qilang again, could it be that Jiang Qilang and Mrs. Yang have a good story of a talented and beautiful woman? ”

Nan Chu said: "It can be said that the Jiang family Qilang once made a marriage contract with Yang Qiuxuan, and even the marriage date was set, but he didn't want to ......"

"But I don't want anything, alas! Brother Chu, how did you become a mother-in-law, say it quickly! ”

Nan Chu glanced at Xu Shuxuan, suddenly picked up a pair of black gloves on the table, and said coldly: "Don't say it!" With that, he turned around and walked out of the study.

At this time, Xu Shuxuan called: "Wait, Nan Chu, you stay!" Mo Xuan, you go out first! ”
