Chapter 975 Finally Goes to the Wrong Road

Xia Xun pushed the door, only to see that the world was white, the snow was flying, even the sky was all over the ground, the ground was already a thick layer of snow, soft as if a layer of white camel hair carpet was laid, and a fresh wind wrapped the snowflakes and floated straight to the house. ＊

Xia Xun hurriedly closed the door behind him, squinted his eyes to look at the heavy snow, and said happily: "What a big snow!" ”

When he and Ji Gang entered the study to deal with the information, it had not snowed yet, and the yard was also very clean. Xia Xun took two long breaths of fresh air and asked the pavilion servant in a green robe: "Where is the person?" ”

The man hurriedly nodded and said, "Without the permission of the prince, the little one didn't dare to call them in, but he just looked at the pity of the girl, and gave her a word first." ”

Xia Xun nodded and said, "Such a heavy snowfall, just as soon as I step on it, I'll go and see who the person is." The servant of the pavilion held up an umbrella to block the snow for him, but Xia Xun felt that the snow was very beautiful, and did not ask him to hold an umbrella, let the snow fall on his head and shoulders, strode out of the gate of the pavilion, stood under the door, looked into the snow, and saw a woman and two men standing there in the snow.

The woman was very young, and although her figure was as slender and graceful as a wicker that had been smoked, she still clearly exuded a childish smell. A snow-white little face, wearing a warm hat of Zhaojun Lying Rabbit, carrying a 'one bell' cloak of pine cranes and singing spring, two short brown men standing behind him, and a long-distance car parked not far away, with four big black mules, obviously their ride.

The snow was heavy, and the three people standing in the snow were covered in snow for a while, like a snowman. Xia Xun was in the snowflakes, and at first glance he didn't recognize the woman's appearance, but when he looked at it again, he couldn't help but lose his voice and said: "Sai'er, why are you?" ”

Tang Sai'er flattened her mouth, and before she could speak, tears flowed down her eyes.

Xia Xun hurriedly said: "It's snowing, come with me to the hall to talk." ”

The servant who sent the message was admitted after receiving the benefits of others, and at this time, the grandfather of the country really knew each other, and they were still very familiar with each other, so the money was even more reassuring. Xia Xun welcomed Tang Sai'er into the gate, and asked the two people in short brown clothes, but they were sent by Ximenqing to escort Sai'er, so he asked the servant to lead them to the gatehouse to rest and eat tea first.

The two family members in Ximen Mansion were instructed to run back to park the carriage and unload the horses and feed them, not to mention it, Xia Xun took Tang Sai'er into a living room, and patted the snow on her body for her, while saying: "Why did you come here in such weather?" ”

Tang Sai'er took off the warm hat, shook off the cloak, and was dressed in plain clothes, Xia Xun was surprised: "This is ......"

Tang Sai'er choked up and said, "Mother-in-law, she has passed away!" As soon as he said that, he cried loudly and threw himself into Xia Xun's arms. ＊

"Don't cry, don't cry, Sai'er, don't be too sad!" Xia Xun hurriedly coaxed for a while, and sighed gloomily: "When people are alive, they will die." Mother-in-law has a long life, and when the days are over, she will naturally go, which no one can help, don't be too sad. ”

At this time, look at Tang Sai'er again, a small face looks thin because of haggardness, and there are still a little baby fat cheeks, but at this time, the chin is pointed, the eyes are big, and the tears are so pitiful. Xia Xun couldn't help but blame: "Why didn't you report your identity when you arrived at the door?" I almost turned him away. ”

Tang Sai'er still couldn't hold back her tears, and said with sobs: "Brother Ximen said that you are going to Beijing to do something big, and I am dressed like this, it is quite inconvenient to come to find you, I am afraid that it will cause criticism." I buried my mother-in-law, I don't want to go back to Jinling alone, I want to come to look for you and I don't want to cause gossip, so I have to not say my identity. ”

Xia Xun frowned and said, "Brother Ximen? Did my nephew also go to Po Tai, could it be that Brother Gao Sheng left Po Tai first? ”

Tang Sai'er replied: "Brother Ximen...... It's Ximen Qing! ”

Xia Xun was stunned and said, "Then how can you call my brother?" He's older than your godfather and me! ”

Tang Sai'er said innocently: "Did Brother Simon ask me to call it that, I'm used to it......"

Xia Xun was speechless, seeing that Tang Sai'er was still wiping her tears, her heart felt pity, so she said softly: "Okay, don't cry, it's been some time since my mother-in-law died, and her old man in the spirit of heaven will know that you are so filial, and she will be very pleased, but it is not what she wants if you are so sad!" ”

Xia Xun said while gently wiping away her tears, the big hand was warm, powerful and gentle, and Tang Sai'er, who was helpless, couldn't help but hug him again and cry bitterly.

Sai'er lost her father when she was a child, and her mother had a weak personality, just because she worshipped Granny Qiu as a teacher and took care of her since she was a child, so she was not bullied, so she had a very deep relationship with her. Before she met Xia Xun and gradually empathized with Xia Xun, she regarded Granny Qiu as her father in her young heart, so she was extremely sad about her death.

Xia Xun was relieved again and took her to the back house. Sai'er also knew that he was filial piety, and it was not suitable to appear in the official mansion, so he calculated that he had already passed the period of heavy filial piety and mourning, and when he arrived at the back house, he went down with Xianya, washed his little face that was crying pear blossoms and rain, changed into plain clothes and came out to see each other again.

Qiaoyun and Xianya are both empathetic women, and under the euphemism and relief of the two, Sai'er gradually calmed down. Only then did he tell Xia Xun that Ximenqing wanted to send her to Beijing in person, but his eldest daughter's wedding was approaching, and if he went to Beijing first, he would not be able to catch up with his daughter's marriage.

Xia Xun opened it and saw that there was nothing else to say, mainly because of his limited medical skills, he couldn't cure Granny Qiu, and he blamed himself a little, and explained to him the reason why he couldn't personally escort Sai'er to Beijing, and asked him for forgiveness.

Granny Qiu is very old, Xia Xun had a premonition when she was in Potai, I am afraid that she will die soon, the art of medicine and stone is just to do her best to obey the destiny of heaven, Xia Xun will naturally not be surprised. As for the fact that because of his daughter's marriage, he can't be separated, this is also human nature, although Xia Xun is a prince, he treats Ximenqing as a brother, how can he be driven by his subordinates, and he has no prejudice in his heart.

Seeing that Qiaoyun and Xianya persuaded Sai'er to be sad, Xia Xun comforted a few words and went back to the study where Ji Gang was. Ji Gang was busy helping the case, and when he saw Xia Xun coming back, he pushed the case and smiled: "Since there is a beautiful woman to meet, why did Guogong come back so early?" ”

Xia Xun smiled bitterly: "Hugh has to joke, it's just the news of the death of the deceased." ”

Ji Gang listened and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

Xia Xun shook his head and asked, "How is the plan for this encounter?" ”

Ji Gang handed over the opinion he had just prepared, Xia Xun looked at his head and said: "Yes, after this war, the grain and grass in Arutai were burned, and it was difficult to work, so it was time to ask me for help from the Ming Dynasty, and then the soldiers and horses of Liaodong could enter the grassland in a grand manner, and infiltrate and control in the name of mediation." So do it! ”

At this moment, someone at the door hurriedly came to report: "Grandpa Guo, Master Ji, there is a will in the capital to come down and give it to the two adults." ”

Xia Xun and Ji Gang glanced at each other, both were surprised, Ji Gang quickly stood up, pressed the prepared receipt under the paperweight, the two of them went out of the study, and ordered the guards guarding outside the study: "This important place, no one is allowed to enter this important place!" He hurried to the front hall to receive the order.

Xia Xun and Ji Gang hurriedly rushed to the front hall to receive the order, and after receiving the order, Ji Gang smiled and said to the eunuch who passed the decree: "Father-in-law has worked hard, it is snowing heavily, and it is difficult to move, and please rest in the side hall and drink a cup of tea." As he spoke, he walked along the way.

Ji Gang is not to blame for many people, and now he has been demoted from the front of the palace, and the people in front of the palace want to deceive the upper and lower levels, and there are many means, Ji Gang knows better than anyone else, and he is naturally enthusiastic about it. The eunuch was a new leader, and he hadn't experienced this much, and he knew the name of Ji Gang, so he didn't dare to accept it first, Ji Gang smiled cutely, and stuffed it into his sleeve without saying anything, and the little eunuch who passed the decree worriedly sleeved the money, and then said goodbye to the two.

Xia Xun saw all this in his eyes, and ignored it, only waiting for the eunuch to leave with the brocade guard, and then said to Ji Gang: "The emperor is going to tour north again." ”

Ji Gang's eyebrows fluttered and said: "It's not right!" Northern Xinjiang is fighting wonderfully, just call the emperor to come, look at your and my means! ”

Ji Gang thought about it for a while, and suddenly clapped his hands and said: "Guogong, do you think we should revise the original plan, and call the scene of Saibei to be more intense, so that the emperor will arrive and know you and me better!" ”

Xia Xun was heartbroken, but after thinking about it, he shook his head again, suppressed this temptation, and said: "No, our original plan is linked one by one, and we can skillfully exhaust all the strength of both of them, and then I will clean up the mess by Daming, and get twice the result with half the effort." If the plan is changed suddenly, a series of follow-up plans will have to be amended, and if the imbalance of power between the two sides is accidentally caused and cannot be remedied, the battle will not be able to continue. ”

Ji Gang hurriedly said: "Guogong, you have to advance slowly, in order to compete for all the merits, you have given up your personal fame, and Ji Gang has followed you." Now it's just a little flexible, don't you agree? If people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, and the national government will not have any plans for himself? ”

Xia Xun said in a deep voice: "If possible, of course I want to plan for myself!" But when you can't do both, how do you tell me to choose? Brother Ji, in case of failure, even if we can still pacify the outside of the fortress, we will have to pay the blood of thousands of soldiers, and use the lives of countless robes as our own steps, are you at ease? Yes, if people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed! It's for my own sake and my own peace of mind, so I can't agree! ”

Ji Gang's mood, Xia Xun can understand, a big man inspects the place, the local people and money, and spares no effort to toss for a month or two, just to wait for the big man to come over and watch for three minutes, this kind of thing is not uncommon, if possible, Xia Xun doesn't mind doing some face engineering. But if this matter is delayed, the price will be thousands of lives, and he does not dare to risk it. Perhaps, he does not fear demons and gods, but he fears life!

Ji Gang listened to Xia Xun's heavy words, his face changed, and finally turned into a dry smile and stopped talking. Xia Xun noticed that the relationship between the two gradually eased suddenly stiffened again, and he was helpless in his heart, he glanced at Ji Gang lightly, and said, "Let's go back and discuss the matter of welcoming the car, I still have a little thing ahead!" After speaking, he walked out of the hall and went to the gatehouse to settle the two family members of Ximen Qingfu.

Ji Gang stood there, his face was cloudy for a long time, he suddenly gritted his teeth and sneered: "You don't do it, Lao Tzu will do it himself!" It's hard to call your surname Yang ruin my Ji's good future! ”
