Chapter 23: Throwing stones

When Xu Rujing came back, the three-person team had already left, and the peace and tranquility of Su Ri had been restored. Xu Ruliang was embroidering under the lamp, asked someone to pour tea for him, and said, "Wait until I finish embroidering this begonia first." ”

At that time, it was time for them to say goodbye and leave the Pingyang Palace.

You can't wait for the emperor to send someone to summon Mu Lianxuan before returning to the palace. So she spoke out and sent Mu Su back, and naturally, the two people who "accompanied Mu Su" had no reason to stay.

Xu Rujing leaned forward with great interest to watch her flip the needle and thread, and said with a smile: "Is this for me?" ”

Xu Ruliang was just about to respond to him and say "yes", his heart moved, and he said as if nothing happened: "Brother wants a sweat towel, why do you need me to send it?" ”

"If even our Ah Liang doesn't send me, who else will send me?" Xu Rujing looked aggrieved and distressed.

Xu Ruliang put down the needle and thread and looked at him with clear eyes.

Xu Rujing was stunned, suddenly understood, and hurriedly explained: "Did they tell you something?" Don't listen to their nonsense, the fifth princess, she is wishful thinking...... Wishful thinking, you understand? ”

The slightly flushed face, and the small movements between gestures, are not like a cover-up.

Seeing that his sister was still looking at him, he simply put down the teacup, hugged her into his arms, and coaxed softly: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as you know that my brother will always have only our little Ah Liang in his heart, it is impossible to like five ...... Others, that's enough. ”

Xu Ruliang replied softly, "Hmm".

How can you not understand? It is impossible for my father to marry the fifth princess for the Xu family, and my brother doesn't like the fifth princess, so it's best.

However, since my brother didn't join the army for the fifth princess, what was he for?

At this time, Yi Yao came in to add tea and nodded secretly.

Xu Ruliang took the opportunity to end the topic for the time being, and said, "It's almost time for my father to go back to the room, let's go over now." ”

The brother and sister went to Jiayutang, and Xu Chong and Xu Ning were also there.

It is rare for a small family to reunite, Xu Qi was in a good mood and stayed for dinner. There was no big turmoil during the banquet, but the dining manners of the two pairs of brothers and sisters were very different, which made Xu Qi more and more satisfied with his eldest son and eldest daughter.

At the same time, it makes the lacquer carving smoke more and more hateful.

However, Xu Ruliang didn't know how to restrain herself, so she chatted after dinner, and asked Xu Chong in front of her: "Is Mother Zhang better?" ”

After a few boards, in order to show that the gold is expensive, I always have to lie in bed for a few days.

But Ruozhang's mother knew the truth......

Xu Chong actually showed a simple smile to Xu Ruliang, and his tone was unprecedentedly friendly, and said, "Mother Zhang is worried that I will have no one to take care of, so I will come back in the afternoon." ”

If she doesn't come back quickly, I'm afraid she won't have a chance to come back.

Xu Ruliangwaner: "Mother Zhang is more dedicated to you than her own son, with her taking care of you, both father and wife can rest assured." ”

Lacquer Sculpture Yan'er snorted coldly and interjected: "I hope she is ...... safe"

"Actually," Xu Chong said eagerly: "Actually, this time I want to play, but Mother Zhang can't resist me, so she can only take me to ......"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" The lacquer carving smoke hurriedly scolded.

The voice was a little loud, and Xu Qi, who was taking the school exam Xu Rujing's homework, was also alarmed and frowned.

The lacquer carving smoke was busy trying to cover up the past.

Xu Ruliang took the first step and said in surprise: "Huh? Then Mama Liu and Cong Liu said that it was Mother Zhang who instigated you to go, isn't it a lie? ”

Mama Liu and Cong Liu are his grandmothers and maids.

Xu Chong couldn't tear them apart at the moment, and gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! It's those two servants who framed Zhang's mother, and they should be beaten to death! ”

At that time, Qidiao Yan'er had just married into the Pingyang Palace, and in order to establish his status, he had too many things to do, so he completely lost his son to Zhang's mother. Unexpectedly, because of this, he missed the most critical time to get along with the child, so that Xu Chong only had Zhang's mother who was with him day and night, and he was not close to her.

In Xu Chong's heart, Zhang's mother is the most important, and whoever frames Zhang's mother is his enemy.

But after all, he was young and simple-minded, and he hated the two of them, but he didn't expect that the two of them stood up to accuse Zhang's mother in order to avoid Xu Ruliang being punished.

That is to say, when he saw that the eldest sister was framed, not only did he not stand up to clarify the truth, but he took his share of responsibility, and even regarded the nurse as heavier than the eldest sister. And because of it he hated the other two servants......

Among the subordinates who served from the side, there were also a few relatives and friends of Mama Liu and Cong Liu, and they all picked up their minds to pay attention to the movements.

Xu Qi narrowed his eyes.

The lacquer carving smoke saw that the shape was wrong, and he was going to jump out of the field again.

Xu Ruliang took another step forward, and suddenly realized "Oh", and said, "I understand!" Don't blame them, they are actually forced to do so. You can't accuse me of being the one who blames me for the sake of recovering my innocence, right? Then will you also be punished? So they can only accuse Zhang's mother. ”

This time, two favors were sold.

The subordinates' expressions eased and they agreed greatlyβ€”that is, it was difficult for the subordinates to do it. It's not all the master's fault, the subordinates help wipe their buttocks, and they have to be punished, is there any heavenly reason?

Xu Chong was righteous and awe-inspiring: "But I'd rather they identify me!" ”

I'd rather others identify you, and you're not mouthless, and you won't stand up and say it?

I haven't eaten a board, I don't know how painful it hurts to eat a board, and I always think "I'd rather be punished for her myself!" "In fact, if you can't stand it, you will cry and cry for help.

To put it bluntly, bragging doesn't pay taxes, and it doesn't hurt to stand and talk.

Xu Ruliang snorted slightly, "The board hurts very much on your body, where are they willing to let you take the board?" ”

"Kezhang's mother ......"

Xu Chong still feels sorry for Zhang's mother.

Xu Ruliang intercepted the words: "Mother Zhang would rather be beaten by herself than confess to you, she also loves you sincerely and protects you." ”

Xu Chongshen nodded approvingly.

Xu Ruliang said again: "You don't have to feel guilty, you are still young now, and trouble is inevitable." As long as you don't be impulsive before you do things in the future, think about the possible consequences first, and plan before you act. ”

Even if Xu Chong's mind is simple, he can always understand that this is excusing him, and he is busy and nodded thoughtfully.

Xu Ruliang then said earnestly: "You must know that you will always grow up in the future and go out of the house." If you are still like this, in case you get into trouble outside, Mother Zhang and I are not by your side, and you don't have time to help you top the tank, what should you do? ”

Xu Ruliang has topped the cylinder for their brothers and sisters countless times, except for Xu Qi, everyone else knows it.

Xu Chong knows it even better.

I didn't feel any guilt about Xu Ruliang, but this time, my closest friend Zhang's mother was beaten, and he finally understood that the consequences were very strict.

Sincerely, he nodded again.

is to sit on the throne, Xu Ruliang once caused trouble, all for him.

The lacquer carving smoke fell down angrily.

Xu Qi smiled instead, his laughter was rare and hearty, and he beckoned the two sisters and brothers over. asked Xu Chong: "Have you memorized everything your sister taught you?" ”

Xu Chong nodded.

Xu Qi let him go back to sit and asked Xu Ruliang again: "Who taught you these truths?" ”

It was as if she had ever walked out of the house.

Xu Ruliang was not in a hurry, thought about it as if pretending to reminisce, and said crisply: "What I learned from my brother, is it considered what my brother taught me?" ”

Brother was once a child who was loved by thousands of people, snuggled in his mother's arms, and blessed by his mother. But overnight, not only lost his mother who could protect him, but also had a sister who needed his protection, how could he not grow up?

Every time she thinks of her aunt in her previous life and told her about her brother's childhood, Xu Ruliang blames herself.

She once vaguely heard people say that her mother experienced dystocia and died of blood loss. I always thought that it was all her fault, because she was willful and refused to come out in her mother's belly, which caused her mother to lose her body and her brother to lose her mother.

In her previous life, she had always blamed herself so much.

But when he was dying, he learned that his mother's death had something to do with the lacquer carving smoke......
