Xie Jin slowly walked through the palace road with his hands behind his back.

He didn't stay in the imperial study to listen to Fang Jing's statement, they had discussed it in advance, and they naturally couldn't let Xie Hao get involved in this matter, so they only excused themselves by saying that Fang Jing learned about it from a fellow countryman.

Dong Taishi showed great interest in this fellow table, as if he wanted to find someone to confront him in the court, but fortunately, the emperor did not take this detail to heart, and finally avoided a troublesome matter.

When Xie Jin retired, the emperor left him to talk about a game.

In front of Taishi Dong and Master Fang, Xie Jin naturally couldn't lose the emperor's face, so when the chess game was halfway through, he pretended to miss and pushed the chess pieces for a while.

How could the emperor not see through his intentions? The hand holding the chess stopped on the chessboard, and finally slowly put the chess pieces back into the bowl, and was silent for a moment before saying: "It's a pity that this is a good game." ”

Xie Jin smiled: "It's a pity, it's not a pity, if you go down again, I'm afraid that Weichen will lose." ”

A smile seemed to flash in the emperor's eyes, and he suddenly reached out and pressed the "general" on Xie Jin's side.

"Be careful." He picked up the chess piece and slowly handed it to Xie Jin, "I will give you permission and never be a general." ”

It is important to know that only those who play chess will win the general.

The emperor asked Xie Jin to put away his shogi, didn't he let him "live well"?

Pingle County's worries were all in vogue at this time.

Xie Jin stepped out of the palace gate, turned to look at this majestic and majestic building, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

When he and the emperor met when they were young, they never imagined that there would be a day when they would be calculated and used.

There was a soft "squeak", and a carriage suddenly stopped in front of Xie Jin.

This is not the Xie family's carriage. Xie Jin had never even seen this coachman driving the carriage. But the carriage stopped in front of him as if it had come to pick him up, and the coachman jumped out of the carriage and respectfully invited him to get into it.

It's a strange thing.

But what's even more strange is that Xie Jin didn't even ask, and got into the carriage himself.

There was a man waiting for him in the carriage.

The man was paying attention to the movement outside, not wanting to hear nothing, when the curtain of the car was suddenly lifted.

He couldn't help but be stunned, and happened to meet Xie Jin who came in.

Xie Jin didn't seem to see him. He sat down in his robe with a calm expression.

The coachman outside the carriage shouted softly, and the carriage moved again and went to Tanghua Hutong.

……

At lunch, Xie Zhen felt that Old Man Xie was a little unhappy. But it was expected that the old man would not tell her the reason for being a child, so he didn't ask, and only asked Zhu Jian to pay careful attention to the movements in the old man's yard.

Zhu Jin waited until the afternoon to come back, saying that after the old man Xie returned home, he went into the study with the old lady, and she waited outside the study for an hour before the two masters came out, so she came back to report first. He also said, "If Miss is still worried, then I'll take a look."

"No need." Xie Zhen shook her head and waved her hand to let her back first.

Why didn't the eldest uncle come back with his grandfather? When he came back, what did he and his grandfather talk about in the study? Does it have anything to do with the matter of Pingle County?

Xie Hao bit her nails and made a decision.

She beckoned Xi and said, "Please come to the third master." ”

Xilai nodded silently.

Xie Yu came soon, and sat on the couch by the window in her room and shook her feet, and the peony between her sideburns was particularly bright.

Xie Zhen had never seen Xie Yu, who was as gentle as jade, behave like this, and was a little dumbfounded for a while.

Xie Yu felt very good about herself, and asked Xie Zhen with a smile: "Ah Hao, what do you think is the difference between me and the past?" ”

It's different, it's just a big difference...... Xie Hao almost stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar and asked if he was possessed by some monster......

Of course, this is just what Xie Zhen is thinking. If you really want her to do it, she will never be able to do it.

"Aha?" Xie Yu was a little anxious.

Xie Hao had no choice but to laugh dryly and said, "It's different." ”

After speaking, he couldn't help the weird feeling in his heart, so he said, "Third brother, who did you learn this from?" ”

She concluded that Xie Yu must have come into contact with some strange person, otherwise he would not have changed so much at once.

Xie Yu said with a strange "huh": "Ah Zhen, how do you know that I am learning from people?" It's a friend of the eldest brother, I heard that hairpins are popular in Beijing! ”

…… It's not impossible for a man to wear hairpins, but Xie Zhen is still a little uncomfortable, so she has to skip this topic. Asked Xie Yudao: "Does the third brother have any arrangements for these two days?" ”

"Nope!" Xie Yuqi said: "Where do you want to play?" The third brother can take you there! ”

Xie Zhen suddenly felt funny, the current third brother may not be more familiar with the capital than her, if she opened her mouth, then I was afraid that he would have to do his homework hard after he went back.

"Third brother." She laughs, "I don't really have any particular places I want to play." It's just that I think we haven't gotten together for some days, so I want to ask everyone to get together, and I just want to introduce two friends to you, do you think it's okay? ”

Xie Yu guessed that the two friends she was talking about should be Yu Jiuniang and Ye Xunhuan, these two people he had known for a long time, but they had never officially befriended.

Although he didn't know why Xie Hao suddenly had such a high interest. But as long as it is something that can make Xie Hao happy, he has always been very willing to do it.

"It couldn't be better." He nodded and said, "Ah Zhen, where do you think the meeting place should be located?" ”

Xie Zhen groaned: "If it is set up in a restaurant, it will be a little too boring, why don't we go to the suburbs?" ”

"Wonderful!" Xie Yu clapped his hands and smiled: "Ah Zhen, if you have any guests you want to invite, just send a post to invite me, and I will prepare the wine and food." ”

Xie Zhen said: "I don't have any guests to invite except those two friends, by the way, I also ask the third brother to call the eldest brother, and I won't go to Baiyang Hutong." ”

Xie Yu didn't doubt that this was her intention, and only nodded and said, "Just leave this matter to the third brother!" ”

looks like the third brother is not worried.

Xie Zhen couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, and couldn't help but step forward and hand a small rake mirror in front of him.

"Third brother." She held back a smile and said, "I've always wanted to say, you're pretty like this!" ”

"Aha!" Xie Yu glared at her angrily, reached out and took off the peony on her sideburns, threw it on the couch casually, and turned her back angrily.

Xie Zhen pinched the little rake, covered her mouth, and smiled silently, curling the corners of her mouth.

……

In the study. Old Lady Xie exhaled gloomily and said in a deep voice: "Prudence, you are really too reckless today, there is an outbreak of plague in Pingle County now. Are you treating the plague as child's play? ”

Xie Jin lifted the teapot at hand and poured a cup of tea for Old Lady Xie, and said with a faint smile: "Father, the son has his own measure, you don't have to worry too much." Moreover, I personally went to Pingle County to investigate. Wouldn't it be better not to pretend to others and firmly grasp the handle of Master Dong in his own hands? ”

Old Lady Xie said: "It is precisely because of this that I am wary that the panic of Master Dong and his faction will harm you by any means, they have many minions, you must not be on guard." ”

Xie Jin nodded and said, "The child knows, but this time if Dong Dang wants to take my life, I'm afraid it won't be so easy." Does my father know who sent me home? ”

Old Lady Xie frowned and was silent.

Xie Jin smiled slightly: "It's His Royal Highness the Great Prince." ”

Old Lady Xie had a look of surprise on her face, "Why did he send you home?" ”

Xie Jin said: "The carriage he was riding in stopped in front of me from behind the palace gate, and I thought I had been waiting for a long time. ”

"Is he trying to get a sniff out of you?"

"Definitely." Xie Jin shook his head and said, "His Royal Highness the Great Prince is a smart man, he knows that one more friend is much safer than one more enemy. ”

Old Lady Xie sneered: "Could it be that he will abandon his relatives?" ”

Xie Jin said disapprerovingly: "Those who have achieved great things should know the trade-offs, the Dong family is his kin, can't my Xie family become his kin?" ”

Old Lady Xie's face sank. "You still hit the abacus on the girl."

Xie Jin sighed and said, "Zhen'er is the best bond between us and the Heavenly Family, she is a smart child, she will definitely be able to deal with it." ”

He saw that Old Lady Xie still had a tiger face, so he said again: "Besides, I think His Royal Highness the eldest prince really has some affection for Zhen'er, and Zhen'er may not suffer if she marries in the past." ”

Old Lady Xie snorted lightly and did not speak.

Xie Jin knew that he was still a little unacceptable for a while, so he didn't persuade him more, but shook his head with a wry smile.

"Father, I have written to let my fourth brother enter Beijing."

Old Lady Xie turned her head sharply and stared at him.

Xie Jin smiled and said, "This line of children." Fortunes and misfortunes are unpredictable, so we still have to prepare early. ”

He himself was ready to sacrifice himself!

Old Lady Xie glanced at him deeply, and her straight back bent down for a moment.

For the first time, the old man, who had been sheltering his kin, realized that he was really old.

When a person realizes that he is old, his temper will inevitably become milder and more tolerant. I will also become more fond of small children.

Old Lady Xie was determined to talk to Xie Hao.

Xie Zhen only thought that Old Lady Xie wanted to tell her about Pingle County, but she didn't expect Old Lady Xie to ask her, "What do you think of His Royal Highness the Great Prince?" ”。

While Xie Zhen felt inexplicable, she also had a little drum in her heart, because she didn't know why Old Lady Xie suddenly asked her like this.

She had no choice but to say: "Zhen'er doesn't have too much interaction with His Royal Highness the Great Prince, so it is inconvenient to comment on His Royal Highness's personality. ”

Old Lady Xie nodded, and asked again, "Then what do you think of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince?" ”

Old lady Xie actually asked again. Xie Zhen always didn't want to prevaricate him with Fang Cai's words, so he thought about it seriously and said: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is serious and rigorous, and he is also very hard-working, and Zhen'er thinks that he is a friend who can be friends. ”

Old Lady Xie was quite satisfied with her words, and when she said so seriously, "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is a friend who can be friends", he couldn't help but tease her: "Do you know that it is not so easy to make friends with His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

Xie Zhen smiled disappreciatively: "Zhen'er doesn't feel any difficulty, as long as I treat him and him with sincerity, then we can be regarded as friends." ”

Because Mrs. Xie heard Xie Zhen's plan to marry Xie Zhen to Yan Ming before, she couldn't help but take it to heart at this time, and when she heard Xie Zhen's words, she only felt that it would be okay if she changed this "way of getting along with friends" to "the way of getting along with husband and wife". I was inexplicably relieved to Xie Hao.

Xie Zhen was already keenly aware of the inappropriateness, and only asked, "Why did my grandfather ask me like this today?" ”

Old lady Xie couldn't help but blush, thinking that Zhen'er was still young, but she was like a woman worrying about her marriage, and she had to sacrifice her marriage to fulfill the Xie family, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

"Nothing." Old Lady Xie smiled reluctantly: "I'm just worried that it won't be easy for you to make friends after you come to the capital." ”

It was not difficult for Xie Zhen to guess that the old lady Xie did not tell the truth, but she didn't want to make the old man sad by saying it, so she only smiled and comforted him: "Grandfather doesn't have to worry about Zhen'er, Zhen'er and Jiuniang of the Yu family are already very good friends now." ”

There are also six doors of Ye Xunhuan Ye. Xie Hao silently added in her heart, and didn't dare to really tell Old Lady Xie, because she was worried that he would suspect why she met Xunhuan, and if he asked a few more words, it would inevitably involve Yan Ming.

Mrs. Xie had seen Yu Jiuniang a few times and knew that she was a lively and cheerful child, so he did not object to Xie Zhen associating with her, but encouraged Xie Zhen to play with her more and not always be bored in the house.

Xie Zhen agreed with a smile, and took the opportunity to talk to Mrs. Xie about her wanting to ask the eldest brother and the third brother and Yu Jiuniang to go to the suburbs together.

If she only said that she was accompanied by Xie Yu, then Old Lady Xie would definitely not be at ease, but she also said that she was with Xie Zhang and Yu Jiuniang, and when Old Lady Xie heard that Xie Zhang was also going, she expected that there would be no trouble with him, so she nodded and agreed, and only told Xie Zhen to pay attention to safety and come back early.

Xie Zhen was very moved, if it weren't for the fact that she had already passed the age of coquettishness in her heart, she would definitely hold Old Lady Xie's arm so tired.

But after staying in Old Lady Xie's study for a long time, she hadn't heard Old Lady Xie tell her about Pingle County, and she couldn't help but become more and more curious, so she couldn't help but ask him, "What happened to Pingle County?" ”

Old lady Xie was silent for a moment, and didn't want to hide it from her, so he said to her: "This matter has been reported to the emperor, the emperor is angry, your eldest uncle invited himself to Pingle County for disaster relief, and he will set off soon." ”

Xie Zhen was stunned, she didn't expect that Old Lady Xie would tell her the matter so bluntly, she originally planned to take the opportunity of a few days of outing to test Xie Zhang's situation with her eldest uncle, but now she thinks that her little caution is so redundant and ridiculous.

At the same time, she was also a little worried, "The epidemic situation in Pingle County is strict, isn't the eldest uncle's trip very dangerous?" ”

Old Lady Xie sighed and said, "I didn't want him to go, but he has already made up his mind, and I can only let him go." ”

Xie Zhen frowned, knowing that even Old Lady Xie couldn't persuade Xie Jin, so she didn't want to persuade him.

Since you can't change his decision, can you do something for him?

Like an accompanying doctor?

Xie Zhen's heart moved, and the faces of two people had already appeared in his mind.
