If Yang Chen knew Wang Zhe's true identity, he might not think like he did just now.

In this world, there is a class of people who should be cautious to judge their one by ordinary eyes, and they are: the royal family.

It cannot be said that they are not human beings, but it is also difficult to deny that when they ascend to the top, whether it is from the spiritual level or from the level of life, they will undergo a change beyond the concept of ordinary people.

Just talking about the delicacy of the appearance of life, in fact, it is difficult to judge whether their transformation of their appearance with such excellence is really for personal enjoyment. Some things look beautiful, and inflicting them on oneself may just be a kind of torture. As a royal family, you can have a lot of things you are born with, but at the same time, from the day your identity is destined, there are many things you can't choose.

For example, Wang Zhe, who was originally separated from his friends, was roughly separated by a year and a half, that is, he could see each other again, but he left this time, but he was not sure about the time of this goodbye, just because he was not sure what he did on this trip and how it would change in the future, which is not a task and obligation for ordinary people to complete.

……

Just as Yang Chen was in this momentary effort, the gesture of holding the brocade bag was slightly off, and he saw something slip out of the bag with a smooth inner lining......

- Looks like a fish!

A metal fish slipped out of the brocade bag and fell to the ground, but the sound of the collision was not very crisp.

Yang Chen hesitated to pick up the fish, and was about to take a closer look, when Mo Ye's call suddenly came from outside the house, Yang Chen hurriedly answered, and looked at the inside of the brocade bag, but did not find any paper objects, he felt a little at ease, temporarily dispelled the matter of pondering the fish, and went out after sorting out the things in the house a little.

……

A woman walked in at the door.

At a glance. This woman was about forty years old. There are not too many deep wrinkles on her face, but there are many fine lines, and her skin seems to be a little dry and dull, which seems to be the result of her less work and less attention to decent maintenance.

The woman was dressed in splendid clothes, and her clothes were brightly embroidered, but she could not reflect her face with ruddy and spirit. Looking closely, except for the wrinkles on her face, her complexion is also very fair, but it is a kind of white caused by rare sunlight, and there is no healthy and vivid luster.

It is true that she rarely worries about the things in life and the things around her. Because she is so capable of worrying, she must be stripped of the power to worry so that her insanity does not affect others.

This woman should have the status of the prime minister's wife - of course, she has that status now. But it's just the legendary lady in the servant's heart.

Have a seat. Shi Jing looked at the crazy woman and spoke softly.

Though his wife had done wrong, and that today he had her invited out of the garden, in order to sort things out, he had just sat in the flower hall and pondered for a long time. It was this that bothered him, but at this point, he still didn't get angry with her.

Behind the eldest lady were two maids and three nurses.

The nurses did not enter the flower hall, but only stood sideways on both sides of the door like javelins, only looking at each other's eyes, not looking sideways into the flower hall at all. It involves Xiangye's family affairs. Their senses are very sensitive, and their attitudes are very consistent: do their job well and be nosy.

The two maids involved followed the eldest lady into the flower hall. Hearing Master Shi's words, they hurriedly helped the eldest lady to sit down on a chair under Shi Jing's seat.

The third son of the Shi family had already left the seat, walked to the eldest lady and bowed deeply, and called softly: Mother is fine.

The eldest lady is not Shi Xin's biological mother, but he still respects her enough. However, in families with more than one wife and concubine. Although there is only one word difference between the mother and the mother in the verbal title, there is a difference in the depth of affection. I'm afraid that only the person who called out these two words knows it in his own heart.

From the moment she stepped into the flower hall with her front foot, the expression on the eldest lady's face was slightly sluggish, but after hearing the word mother, she suddenly moved her shoulders and opened her eyes and said: I know you, you are my son, you are disobedient, you should be beaten!

This was the first thing she said after entering the flower hall, and her tone was obviously stiff and straight, and she was actually going to hit the child.

As soon as she finished saying the right word, she suddenly got up from the chair, grabbed Shi Xin's hand that was stretched out because of the gesture towards her, raised her slap and slapped it.

She still slapped Shi Xin like a mother catching a child who had made a mistake and slapping the child's palm.

This didn't hurt an adult, but the two maids standing behind the eldest lady were shocked. Seeing that they were not paying attention and did not hold down the eldest lady who suddenly stood up, which caused this later incident, they suddenly panicked, as if they were about to pull left and right.

Suddenly, Shi Xin shouted: If I made a mistake, I should be punished, and I am willing to let my mother beat me.

The two maids were stunned, looked at Shi Xin, and subconsciously turned their gaze to look at Shi Jing in the upper seat.

Shi Jing's brows furrowed slightly. The situation in the flower hall took a sharp turn, but it had nothing to do with the family affairs that he was still sitting here at this time, and the little time he had squeezed out in his busy schedule of official duties was ready to clean up.

But he still didn't get angry, and after a while, he just said softly: Alain, the child is wrong, I asked him to go to the study and think about it behind closed doors, don't be angry.

Shi Jing not only didn't get angry, but also called his wife's nickname in a soft voice.

Before they got married, he often called her like this, and in recent years he rarely called her that way anymore, but when he spoke again, this affectionate title was as simple as taking it out of a treasured box, and it was not unfamiliar.

When the eldest lady Mu Yulan heard this soft call, she seemed to have found part of her personality from her name, and she suddenly quieted down.

After no longer patting Shi Xin's hand, Mu Yulan first looked sideways at her husband who was in the seat, and then she turned her face to look at Shi Xin standing in front of her again, and suddenly said happily: My son has grown so big, but unfortunately he is not like me at all. But isn't it natural for a son to look like his father? What's more, my brother Jing is so heroic! I have to have a lot of children for him.

The eldest lady also evoked her nickname for her husband.

Unlike Shi Jing, the last time the eldest lady called out this nickname was during the Lantern Festival last year. When Shi Jing accompanied her to watch the servants hang lanterns in the courtyard, she pinched a spoon and fed her rice balls. She suddenly exhaled these three words, as if shouting these three words would relieve the pain.

As soon as he heard this title, Shi Jing couldn't help but be moved.

What the wife said just now, except for the first sentence, the words that followed can be expressed, and her memory at this time was postponed until when she had just given birth and was still in confinement.

At that time, she was not insane, but when she started beating her third son just now, that memory was the fourth year after she gave birth.

At that time, her madness was already obvious, but he thought that he had a blood connection with her by his side. can let her slowly be nourished by family affection and repair her mental damage, but she didn't expect her to go crazy and even be ruthless with her own flesh and blood.

Scenes from the past come to mind. was soon forcibly pressed down by Shi Jing. But after that, a trace of anger finally came to his heart, but it was still not at his wife, but at the two servants who were serving behind.

Although the furrowed brows had been stretched, the furrow between Shi Jing's eyebrows still could not be completely calmed.

After a moment of silence. Shi Jing said as slowly as possible in his voice: Not only has the child grown a lot taller, but he also writes much more energetically than when he first learned it, Alain, do you want to test him?

Yes, yes! The eldest lady applauded very childishly.

Shi Jing gave his son Shi Xin a look, and said calmly: Accompany your mother well, but don't let her play too tired. Rest early. The tone of his second half of the sentence was slightly heavier.

Shi Xin quickly understood, ordered the two maids not to follow, and then bid farewell to his father. led his mother out of the flower hall.

As soon as the non-biological mother and son left, Shi Jing, who was sitting on the upper seat, had a wave on his calm face, and shouted outside the door: Someone!

The three guards who escorted the eldest lady to the flower hall with the two maids just now have been guarding the door. I heard Master Shi's shouting. The three of them hurried into the hall.

Before they could bow down, they heard Shi Jing angrily reprimanded: Take it down!

The sharp-eyed nurse saw that Master Shi was giving this order at the same time. The palm of his hand had been clenched into a fist and snapped on the table. The knocking sound was not loud, but a few of the guards immediately understood, and escorted the two maids who accompanied the eldest lady to go out.

The situation in the flower hall changed suddenly, but the two maids were a little hindsight, and they were on the spot, letting the hands of the nurse who had practiced some kung fu Ding Tietong-like clasp on their shoulders, and they refused to move.

However, hindsight does not mean that they do not know what is going to happen in their hearts, and who can remember the bad things they have done better than themselves?

The pain of being pinched on the shoulders came, and after the two maids came back to their senses, they instantly felt a sense of fear in their hearts, and they were already crying.

The two maids were powerless to resist the nurses who dragged them outside the flower hall, and they didn't have time to argue, Master Shi didn't give them this opportunity and time at all.

But the two maids know very well that under the fury of the head of the family, what will happen to the so-called 'dragged out'. They were so frightened that they could only shout in a desperate voice: "Master, spare your life!" Spare your life!

Only now, do you know that you are begging for mercy and still want to beg for your life? Shi Jing's cold eyes stabbed at the two maids who desperately turned around and begged, not only did not ignore this scene, but also wanted to show their determination head-on.

If he would give forgiveness, he would still order such a cruel order?

A few days ago, in that single courtyard, which had been quiet for more than ten years, an incident occurred that almost killed someone.

That afternoon, Cen Chi was originally taking a walk in the garden in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and unconsciously gradually approached the small courtyard where the eldest lady lived in peace. At that time, the eldest lady was basking in the sun at the gate of the courtyard. Cen Chi saw that she was the eldest lady who lived in a simple house in the Prime Minister's Mansion, although she rarely met her, he still smiled politely and greeted several times.

Unexpectedly, after seeing Cen Chi, who was gentle and kind-hearted, the eldest lady was in a trance, and actually regarded him as her grown son and invited him in.

Cen Chi is an outsider, and he doesn't know the past of the eldest lady and what her madness is. Seeing that the original hostess of the Prime Minister's Mansion had kindly invited, and perhaps some pity for her living a 'widow' life for a long time, Cen Chi only hesitated, then went in and sat down, used some refreshments, and chatted with the eldest lady.

Originally, this was just a small episode in the daily life of the Prime Minister's house.

With the current age of the eldest lady, she can be longer than Cen Chi's generation. Cen Chi was originally an informal temperament. It's not a big deal to go into the courtyard to chat with the elders. Even if Master Shi knew about it afterwards, he probably wouldn't have any reason to worry about it.

However, when Cen Chi was chatting with the eldest lady halfway, he suddenly felt unwell, and his physical condition suddenly became bad. Later, the servant called Lang Zhong to take a look, only to find out that he had been poisoned by a vicious chronic poison!

What shocked the whole government even more was that the poison was actually in the tea that the eldest lady had brewed for Cen Chi when she was chatting with Cen Chi!

The two maids were each beaten with ten boards, and then the nurse brought them back. In the flower hall, the clamps on their shoulders had just been loosened. The two women were like thin clay figures, lying weakly on the cold and hard floor tiles.

The skin on their backs had been torn open by the board, and the wound was only glowing with reddish blood. But it was no less painful than a wound cut directly by a knife.

They serve in the small courtyard where the eldest lady lives all the year round, and they actually do very light work, which should be very comfortable. If the body lacks exercise, it will not be able to carry it, and ten boards will come down. They have lost half their lives.

But they should be glad that if Shi Jing didn't knock on the table just now, but dropped the teacup, the two of them were afraid that they would have been killed at this time.

So when they came back, they couldn't care about the burning pain in their backs, and cried. While screaming and begging for mercy.

But they don't know that death is not terrible, but that it is terrible to be tortured before death. Maybe just when he was dragged out. Directly killed, for them, it can be regarded as a happy relief.

Shi Jing saw that the two of them were sent back, and he didn't get angry anymore, but his face was full of coldness.

The two maids, who were half-kneeling and half-lying under the hall, did not dare to look up at him. But he only used one word to pierce this cold air into their hearts.

Say.

……

Men generally don't like the trivialities of housekeeping. In addition to the men's way of doing things, most of them are also because the eldest woman in the family handles these affairs.

But there seem to be some exceptions to the situation of historians.

Although the eldest lady of the Shi family has been mad for many years, Shi Jing still retains her position in the mansion, and it seems that it is also because he believes that the eldest lady will recover one day, and this belief has lasted for more than ten years.

If Mrs. Shi has only gone crazy in recent years, it makes sense that Shi Jing does not continue to string. But in the year when Mrs. Shi first showed madness, Shi Jing was not yet forty years old. It is really rare for a man in a high official position like him to be able to stick to this step for his wife.

But anyway, Shi Jing seems to have another result by doing this, his housework is not so complicated, there are no female dependents in the house, and it is convenient to have a banquet with those guests.

For more than ten years, this is a rare time for Shi Jing to personally review household affairs. This time, even the old butler who had been loyal to the Shi Mansion for many years was not allowed to meddle in this matter.

Shi Jing and the two dynasties are the prime minister, the literary struggle in the court, the martial arts in the prison, I have never seen any wind and waves, not to mention the two maids in front of me.

If he really decided to deal with these two maids, the iron-beaten man would have to let him roll up and burn out of the hole.

Although there are also heroes among women, most men are more decisive than women. For Shi Jing, as long as the suspicion of the eldest lady is ruled out, it will be easy.

Of course, after this family case was cleared, Shi Jing also understood a problem.

The more important reason why he was able to let these two maids recruit so quickly was that the master who instructed these two maids to do many bad things was already dead.

The reason why the two maids continue to do evil after the death of the main messenger is because they know that if they don't go all the way to the dark, sooner or later, it will only be a dead end for themselves.

And now, in the situation where they have to die if they say it or not, they can only choose the former, which seems to have a little way to live.

When the two maids said all the sins that had been hidden in their hearts for more than ten years and had accumulated for more than ten years, Shi Jing only felt as if he had seen two hideous-looking demons vomiting filth in front of him, which was extremely disgusting! He was furious!

He shouldn't have been so angry that easily, but these two people did all the things he cared about, and he couldn't tolerate it.

No matter what kind of person he is, as long as he is not completely crazy, there will always be a few people in his heart who care, which is an immortal part of human nature. And the fewer people who care. The more he couldn't tolerate anything to happen to the person he cared about.

The moment he stood up and was about to leave the flower hall, several ways to vent his anger came to Shi Jing's mind: cane death, bury him alive, and burn it......

However, in the end, he just sighed and suppressed the manic feelings in his heart, but not erased them, but pressed them into a line, almost buried in the bottom of his heart without leaving a trace.

After standing still for a while, Shi Jing only said softly: Take them down to eat something.

It was as if he had just suffered a serious illness, and his body had just recovered, but his spirit had not yet recovered.

Of course, he could not forgive the two maids for their crimes, but after learning of the inhuman torture his wife had suffered. He also couldn't forgive himself for his past mistakes.

As soon as Shi Jing's voice fell, the three nursing homes in the flower hall couldn't help but look at each other, and they didn't act for a while. I thought I had heard it wrong.

The two maids who were kneeling on the ground were also stunned when they heard this, looked at the three nursing homes, and then stared at Shi Jing's back when he came out of the house.

Shi Jing didn't say a second word, nor did he turn back to make up for it, so he brushed his sleeves and left.

No one knew what Shi Jing was thinking in his heart. Even among his political enemies, it is difficult to find such a 'confidant'. However, it is not difficult for the subordinates in the Prime Minister's Mansion to understand a question at this time, Shi Jing will definitely not forgive those two maids.

The two tortured his wife for more than ten years, and the cruelty of the methods made the three nursing homekeepers who listened to the two maids' statements of guilt couldn't help but grit their teeth.

However, when he looked at the two men, he could still be calm. There is only one conclusion.

Shi Jing had already carved the word 'death' on the white and smooth foreheads of these two cheap maids with a cold gaze, he couldn't see the fear in their eyes, the sweat on their foreheads, he only looked at the two corpses by himself.

He doesn't use his mental power to deal with the dead.

After Shi Jing left the flower hall. It didn't take long for the three nursing home members who were stunned to look at each other gradually come back to their senses. The three of them looked at each other again, as if they had decided something in silence, and then dragged the two maids out of the flower hall again, who had suddenly understood and wept later.

……

Shi Jing took a half-day off to go home, mainly to bid farewell to Cen Chi. Incidental trial of the crime in his own home, which had been put on hold for a few days.

This family case involves some family affairs of the historian, as well as some family ugliness. Shi Jing was once the prime minister. I don't want to make a fuss. He has a lot of experience in interrogating people, and he can do it himself at home, and he can get more information he wants to know.

After disposing of the two evil slaves, it was not enough for the vacation, but when he listened to the two maids' dictation in the flower hall, he suddenly wanted to take another look at his 'Lan'er' before leaving.

Although today's Lan'er can no longer be like when he first married him more than ten years ago, when he went out to the official office, he stood at the door of the house and looked at his back with a smile, and called softly: Be careful on the road.

However, when Shi Jing walked to the quiet courtyard where his wife was grounded, he was just about to step forward, but he retreated again.

He sighed inwardly, turned and walked back. The sedan chair stopped at the gate, and he had to hurry back to the court.

Not far back, Shi Jing suddenly saw a somewhat familiar maid. Before the maid got too close, Shi Jing recognized her, it was the girl named Qingqiang who he arranged to serve by Cen Chi's side.

Qingqiang has been a servant in the Prime Minister's Mansion for several years, but since she was arranged to Cen Chi's side, she has rarely met with Shi Jing, but Shi Jing has not neglected her existence because of this. In fact, probably because of Cen Chi, Shi Jing's cultivation of this girl can be regarded as attaching great importance to it.

However, because Shi Jing is still a little unsure of what Cen Chi's mind is, she has not taught Qingqiang anything other than serving people for the time being, so her heart is still a blank slate, which is much simpler than the two cheap maids who taught in the flower hall just now.

When Shi Jing saw Qingqiang, a thought arose in his heart, so he called it close to him and took a look.

Qingqiang was originally a maid who served Cen Chi closely, but today Cen Chi left the Prime Minister's Mansion and went to the northwest, but her spirit seemed to be more haggard than when she took care of Cen Chi day and night a few days ago.

After Shi Jing carefully observed Qingqiang a few times, he felt that this girl seemed to have lost her soul. Her soul was not in this body that should have been full of youthful vitality, and probably followed the carriage.

Shi Jing couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic in his heart, it was really rare to be able to serve people with heart and affection to this extent, but he didn't see the filthy intentions of the two cheap maids who served Lan'er, it was really a big mistake. It seems that for family matters. If you can't think of a mess, you have to start from the root.

Shi Jing knew that Qingqiang's heart for Cen Chi was not as simple as a master-servant relationship, but he believed that as long as Qingqiang had a pure heart and could serve his 'Lan'er' well, it was often only a matter of time before the cultivation of feelings was often a matter of time.

Are you worried about Cen Chi? After staring at Qingqiang for a moment, Shi Jing suddenly asked.

Qingqiang's shoulders trembled slightly, and she said in a low voice: The slave doesn't dare to trespass.

Shi Jing spoke slowly, as if he was just describing a very ordinary thing: You must know it. Although my wife has been crazy for more than ten years, I have never thought of abandoning her. But you may not know that I was with my wife back then. They were all from poor backgrounds, and they were able to support each other all the way, until I later became famous, and no one could replace her significance to me during this period.

Speaking of which. He changed his words and said: There is no need to deliberately hide emotional matters. As for the problem of identity, there is always a solution. The most expensive thing in the world is true love, and its price is not because of the high price, but because it cannot be measured by treasure.

Show what you care about most in front of others. This may be a very stupid act, but it can also be said to be a great trust in this 'other person'.

From Shi Jing's words, Qingqiang heard a lot of past stories about Master Shi that she had never known before. Among them, what surprised Qingqiang the most was that Master Shi, who had always been strict and busy, would talk to her about his attitude towards 'love' when he met her halfway.

Qingqiang, who lowered her head slightly, couldn't help but glance up at Shi Jing, and saw that he was also looking at herself. She immediately lowered her head again, and there was some awe in her heart that she couldn't explain why. I don't know how to answer.

Maybe I'm not qualified to discuss my attitude towards 'love' with my lord at all.

From tomorrow onwards, you will serve by the Lady's side! Shi Jing suddenly spoke, the topic changed very quickly, and there was no room for Qingqiang to think in his tone, in the future, the eldest lady will only have you to serve, and I will send someone to stay by your side to protect your safety.

The safety he said naturally did not mean that the eldest lady would poison again, but to prevent the eldest lady from going crazy again, leaving someone to stop it when she needed to take action.

Although he didn't say this too bluntly, Qingqiang would only think about it in this way. And once she figured this out, her heart was full of gratitude.

Looking at the back of the old man leaving, although he didn't ask for it, some of the hindsighted Qingqiang still knelt down at him and kowtowed seriously.

……

On the way to the gate, Shi Jing decided one more thing and called the housekeeper closer, but only after he sat in the sedan chair did he signal the official to come to the small window on the side of the sedan chair.

Shi Jing said calmly: Who of the three family members who led the eldest lady to the flower hall just now are locals?

The housekeeper glanced at Shi Jing with his eyebrows suppressed, and said in a deep voice: None of the three are from Kyoto, but two of them are cousins.

Let the cousins go back to their hometown, and don't come back, the other one along with the two maids...... When Shi Jing said this, he was silent for a while, and only after a while did he speak again, and sent the rock sugar osmanthus cake left over from the eldest lady's meal, so that they could eat enough and go on the road.

The eldest lady is not noble, and her gluttonous snacks are more common, and her favorite snack since she was a child is rock sugar osmanthus cake.

After Shi Jing gained fame and finally became a prominent position, he asked his servants to buy enough fresh rock sugar osmanthus cakes every day and give them to the eldest lady, so that she could eat happily and live a sweet life.

Later, the eldest lady suffered from frequent episodes of madness and lived in that quiet courtyard, and Shi Jing did not cut off this supply.

However, when there was an accident in the small courtyard a few days ago, there were also osmanthus cakes among the refreshments that the eldest lady gave Cen Chi to taste.

Although after Cen Chi was poisoned, Shi Jing personally inspected the osmanthus cake and other snacks stored in the eldest lady's house, and the results were safe, but he still asked people to take away all the stored food.

It's only been a few days since this happened, and some of the pastries that were sorted out were still not thrown away, which were not poisonous, and some servants were still a little greedy when they looked at them, but ...... Shi Jing said such things now, which made the housekeeper understand a problem.

The old butler's eyes were slightly condensed, but he quickly complied.

In the face of Shi Jing's order to end the lives of three people and almost ruin the lives of two people, this old servant who has been loyal to the Shi family for most of his life will not have a trace of objection.

He is Shi Jing's most trusted confidant and servant, so he will not live up to Shi Jing's trust. As for the three who are going to die, the reason why they are going to die. must have betrayed Master Shi's trust.

ended the lives of three people in one sentence, Shi Jing's heart still felt a little irritable, not because of the killing, but because he cared more about the truth, the two maids didn't say it in the end.

For the evil deeds they had done before, they were so small that they spit in the porridge bowl of the eldest lady when she was not paying attention, and they didn't dare to say it out, but they didn't admit that they had poisoned Cen Chi's teacup and then blamed the eldest lady.

The evil concubine who instructed the maid to do evil to the eldest lady has long since died, and Shi Jing knows it very well. The only thing that can be compensated for this matter is to care more about his 'Lan'er' in the future.

At the same time, Shi Jing was a little unconvinced. For the new manipulator behind it, those two maids can be so loyal in the face of death.

Shi Jing suddenly had some doubts about the third son's speculation.

But he still can't find any evidence to prove his son's idea for the time being, or it should be said that even if he finds evidence to prove that Cen Chi poisoned his cup, this poison is really amazing. Shi Jing looked for several Lang Zhong, and all of them determined that it was the kind of poison specially developed by the poison doctor, and if he couldn't get the antidote, he would really die.

This is tantamount to self-defeat, why did Cen Chi do this?

Even if he does suffer any setbacks, depending on his temperament. Nor would it have occurred to him that death would have been used to solve the problem.

Could it be that there is a problem among the other Qingke in the house?

Shi Jing shook his head and decided not to think about these complicated trivialities anymore. The matter of self-trial in the imperial court has just ended, and the sea transportation is about to begin again. Whether it is to do his job well or to be vigilant against the plots of political opponents, he must keep a clear head during this period.

Perhaps time will tell.

Shi Jing closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then opened his eyes and said slowly to the old butler who was still bowing next to the sedan chair: "Beside the eldest lady, arrange for Qingqiang's girl to serve." If she has a need, the outer court needs to do its best to meet it. Other than that. Arrange for Xiao Leng to go to the eldest lady's yard and be responsible for the security guard.

The housekeeper nodded hurriedly and said: The old slave will arrange these things that the master ordered, and the master can rest assured.

……

Shouldering the heavy responsibility of Xiangguo, Shi Jing has the right to keep a few guards by his side.

In fact, in addition to him, many Beijing officials have martial arts guards in their own houses, and some wealthy businessmen are the same, and the meaning is similar.

This habit has been derived from the previous dynasties. Although the Zhou Dynasty has now died and the new dynasty has replaced it, the emperor of the current dynasty did not order to prohibit this unspoken convention, but only vaguely mentioned it, and the number should not be too large.

The number of such people who are good at kung fu is linked to the position of their protector, but there is an upper limit.

Although Shi Jing's current identity is almost equal to more than 10,000 people under one person, there are less than 30 people in the Xiangfu Nursing Courtyard, which is far lower than the upper limit of domestic military attendants.

And only those with slightly higher seniority in the Prime Minister's Mansion know that among these twenty or so people, only ten are Xiangye's close guards.

These ten people are all strong in martial arts, and they are the closest attendants to Xiangye, and they often take turns to follow Xiangye around. Whether Xiang Ye is working in the yamen or visiting friends, they are still inseparable from Xiang Ye.

In addition, they have a set of titles in private, which is called: Ten Generals.

These ten people have rankings, but they are neither ranked by age nor by martial arts, but by Xiangye himself.

Although even the ten families don't know what the basis for Xiang Ye's ranking is, they only need to understand one thing, and protecting Xiang Ye's safety is their lifelong mission.

Ten same history, this may already be considered to be a problem!

Xiao Leng called by Shi Jing ranked sixth among the ten generals, in addition to being called Leng Liu, he also had a real name, called Leng Yi.

In addition to being ranked lower among the ten generals, Leng Yi is also the youngest of these ten people, and he has just turned thirteen years old in the Midyear Festival this year.

It may be because of the fact that he often practices martial arts, and the thirteen-year-old is cold, and his body has grown much taller than that of young people of the same age, and his appearance is also very spiritual, and he also gets along very well with the ten generals and brothers.

However, although Leng Yi's height has been pulled up, there is still a little childishness on his face.

Perhaps for this reason, from the day he entered the Prime Minister's Mansion to the present. Shi Jingdu has not let him take on the job of going out to guard, and only let him stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Because he often rotated around the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion and inspected the Anzhai back and forth, he gradually became almost the microphone inside the ten generals.

Leng Yi inquired about the outside from the ten generals who followed Shi Jing in shifts every day, and told the brothers who went out about what happened every day in the mansion, so he was also very cared for by the ten brothers.

But in any case, compared to the other nine, Leng Yi often felt that he was the only one of the ten who ate idle food. He felt that there were already so many nursing homes left behind in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it seemed that there were not many of them. One less of him, no less.

Therefore, when Leng Yi heard the old butler who came to him say that Xiangye had a new dispatch to him. He was wiping the blade with a soft cloth, and suddenly put the knife into the sheath, and stood up from his chair with anticipation.

However, when he heard the last half of the old butler's words, his expression suddenly shrank a little.

Said to be a new dispatch. In fact, it is still a job that does not require leaving the house, and the scope of activities seems to be more cramped.

The old housekeeper has served in the Shi Mansion for most of his life, and he has almost watched Leng Yi grow from a little boy to his current size, and he also likes this very young and energetic young man very much.

Seeing that there was some dejection on the cold and extremely young face, he didn't want to say anything, but after he finished instructing Xiangye's assignment. When he turned around to leave, he hesitated again, and finally couldn't help but comfort: Don't look at you, it seems that you can only move in that small courtyard most of the time in the future. But at the same time, you have the responsibility to protect the eldest lady, and you can't change the guard. Do you know how much Xiangye hopes that the eldest lady can get better one day sooner? Xiangye's expectations for you are not small.

Leng Yiyan's expression moved slightly when he heard this, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said: Uncle housekeeper, I will do this job well.

……

Yefu.

After dinner. Mo Ye sat in the hall for a while, but soon she couldn't sit still. Because she was alone in the empty living room. Master Ye had an accident, and the Ye Mansion that she had in her impression a few days ago was full of faint warmth and human touch, and it instantly became cold, and it seemed to become colder than the spacious Song Mansion that was not condensed by the wind.

Out of the living room, Mo Ye slowly paced into the courtyard. The Ye house is not big, and today because of the accident, all the lights under the eaves and between the corridors are lit, and the plain lantern paper also stains the lights into a light plain color, which easily reflects every corner of the courtyard.

Perhaps because she was worried about something, or perhaps affected by the overly bright lights in the courtyard, Mo Ye walked back and forth in the courtyard a few times, until she returned to the eaves and raised her head a little when she went up the steps, only to find that the sky was full of stars, shining and distant—this day, during the day, it was cloudy and rainy, but at night, it was quietly clear.

Looking at the starry sky, Mo Ye suddenly had an imagination in his heart, if the order of this sunny and rainy day was reversed, would it be possible to change these bad things today? Or push forward the time when the rain fell in the morning by half an hour, so Uncle Ye may not be able to ride a horse when he returns?

When this thought first came out of her mind, Mo Ye's eyes naturally showed a hint of novelty, but she quickly shook her head to stop this thought, and said silently in her heart: Master has said more than once in the past that he does not believe that human thoughts can change the weather, let alone the right time......

Unconsciously, he missed his master again, Mo Ye's eyes suddenly darkened, and he sighed.

Are you worried about the Ye family?

Ruan Luo's voice suddenly came, Mo Ye was slightly stunned, his eyes were slightly off, and he saw him coming from the opposite side, and he was already very close to him.

Unconsciously wandered so much, but it was not the incident mentioned in Ruan Luo's words, it was actually a secret that she couldn't tell in her heart now, Mo Ye could only smile reluctantly, she didn't know if this was an admission, it should be perfunctory?
