The author has something to say: Hey, beauties of the Western family, can we treat this relationship between boys and girls purely? Where can I crutch into bed without moving? What's that...... At the very least, you have to have a monthly pass to go to bed. Also, if you are poisoned by Jingmen, find a doctor to detoxify!

------Off topic------
Xie Fanghua put down the book, raised his head, and looked at him funny, "What nonsense?" Out of the Nameless Mountain, no one will restrain your temperament? It makes you more and more naughty and jumpy. ”
The young man pushed the door in, and the splendid splendor of the room set off his coarse cloth more and more, he paused for a moment, smiled, and said amusedly, "Miss Qianjin's boudoir subordinates came in for the first time, but they are really flattered!" ”
"Come in!" Xie Fanghua glanced out the window and spoke softly.
"Master!" The boy came to the door, stopped, and shouted respectfully.
The four of them, the painter, the ink, the blue, and the evening, glanced at each other, and all got out of the way.
The boy patted the dirt off his body, smiled at the four of them, and walked towards the door.
About half an hour later, a strange sound of wind came from the window, and a man fell lightly from the wall. The man, dressed in a coarse cloth robe, and with the figure of a young man, as soon as he entered, glanced around, and saw four handmaidens standing at the door, and did not seem to be surprised at all when he arrived, but looked at him like that, without the slightest shout or obstruction.
Xie Fanghua took out a book from the bookshelf and sat quietly at the table and watched.
"Yes!" The waiter retreated.
Xie Fanghua nodded and said to her, "I know, someone will come later, don't stop you!" ”
After a while, the waiter turned back and said, "Miss, Kong Ming's lantern has been released." ”
Although the waiter was puzzled, Xie Fanghua didn't explain, she didn't ask, and retreated with the Kong Ming lantern as instructed.
Xie Fanghua also polished the ink, and wrote four words on Kong Ming's lantern: "Ghost on the moon." After putting down the pen, he instructed the waiter, "You go and light it, take it to the backyard and let it fly." ”
After a while, the waiter brought over a Kong Ming lantern and placed it on the table here.
Xie Fanghua stood up, lit the lamp in the room, dialed the wick, her slender figure was reflected in front of the-gauze lattice window, she took out the pen and ink inkstone, and gently grinded it.
The waiter nodded and walked out of the room.
Xie Fanghua smiled, "Then you can go and get one for me." ”
The waiter was stunned, "Miss, do you want Kong Ming lantern?" After the words fell, she said suspiciously, "There are still a few days before the Shangyuan Festival, and when our sisters were fine, we made a lot of lanterns and left them on the Shangyuan Day. ”
"Do we have a Kong Ming lantern in our yard?" Xie Fanghua asked.
"Miss!" The waiter immediately answered, pushed the door and walked in.
Xie Fanghua sat at the table for a moment and shouted outside, "Wait!" ”
Xie Mohan didn't stay any longer, went out of the door, and after a while, he went out of Begonia Garden.
"Brother go slowly!" Xie Fanghua nodded.
"Grandpa knows you're back, let you rest enough to see him tomorrow morning. If you want to see the people in the sixth boat, send someone to spread the word, and if you don't want to expose them, it's better to be secretive. lest the people in the house be mixed and leak the rumors. Xie Mohan stood up and said to her, "I'll go back first!" ”
Xie Fanghua smiled when she heard this.
Xie Mohan nodded, "I guess they are also your people, otherwise you shouldn't have pressed the No. 6 painting boat." The words fell, and he said a little funny, "You said that Qin Zheng is an umbrella that blocks you, and sometimes, it is." Now many people outside are privately rumoring that the No. 6 painting boat was secretly subdued by the second son of Zheng. to win all the bets. The wonderful thing is that Qin Zheng didn't refute this remark and let it spread. ”
Xie Fanghua nodded, and said to Xie Mohan, "Brother, the No. 6 painting boat is my person, after performing for grandpa tomorrow, I will return them to Prince Ying's mansion!" ”
"The old lady in the sixth room loves to listen to the play, no one in our house likes to listen to the play, I sent the Qian family team to the old lady in the sixth room two days ago." Xie Mohan said, "So, the backyard is empty." ”
"Isn't the backyard inhabited by the Qian family's team?" Xie Fanghua raised her eyebrows.
"You came to our house soon after you returned home, and I placed it in the backyard." Xie Mo said.
"When did you come?" Xie Fanghua asked.
Xie Mohan saw that she didn't want to say any more, and didn't continue, nodding, "It's here!" ”
"The people from the No. 6 painting boat have come to our house?" Xie Fanghua stopped talking about Qin Zheng and changed the topic.
Xie Mohan took back the consolation that he wanted to say when he heard it.
"Brother, I don't like him yet!" Xie Fanghua interrupted Xie Mohan's words, and said calmly and a little coldly, "I don't understand what it means to like at all, how can I talk about liking?" It's just that now, I don't hate him so much. ”
Xie Mohan looked at him distressedly when he heard this, "Sister, if you like him too......
Xie Fanghua put away her smile, moved the water cup to the table, and gently tapped her fingers on the table, making a dingdong sound, her voice was a little erratic, "One day the family is unstable, and I don't talk about love for a day." ”
Seeing that she was still in the mood to laugh, Xie Mohan was suddenly a little helpless, looked at her and said, "Sister, what do you think of Qin Zheng, he likes you, now anyone can see it!" What about you? ”
Xie Fanghua suddenly smiled, "It turns out that there is a reason for wicked people to become evil. ”
Xie Mohan said slowly, "Since then, the name of the second son of Zheng has spread in this capital. Vertical horses across the street, arrogant, unscrupulous, self-explanatory, arrogant and uninhibited, ignoring the world. Although he used to have a somewhat perverse temperament, it is better that since then, his temperament has begun to become moody and uncertain. ”
"At that time, there were many people in the procession, and every day there were dead, wounded, sick, and fleeing. I can't remember so many faces, it's just that I want to go to the Nameless Mountain, I want to survive. Therefore, if there was Qin Zheng at that time, it would have been ignored by me. Xie Fanghua said.
"Roughly!" Xie Mo said.
Xie Fanghua exhaled lightly, "If this matter is true, then Qin Zheng should also be in the ranks of the royal family guards that day." ”
Xie Mohan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "There is such a thing, eight years ago, Qin Zheng seemed to have disappeared for two days." It seems that not long after you left our mansion, the people of Prince Ying's mansion turned over on their backs in those two days, and Prince Ying was anxious about her son, and it was said that she was looking for her son like crazy. Two days later, I found it nowhere. It wasn't a secret at the time, but because you had just run away from home, my grandfather and I were in no mood to pay attention to the affairs of other mansions, and when we heard about it, we just listened to it. ”
At that time, Prince Ying and Princess Ying sharply accused Prince Ying, saying that eight years ago, Qin Zheng lost two days, and she sent someone to find two days and asked Prince Ying where those two days were? Said he was in the Emerald Red Mansion! Drunk in the courtesan's room! Xie Fanghua said.
"What?" Xie Mohan asked.
"But a few years ago, Qin Zheng was drunk and made a fuss at the gate of Prince Ying's mansion, when Princess Ying and Prince Ying were in a hurry and said something." Xie Fanghua said slowly.
Xie Mohan saw that her eyebrows and eyes were entangled, and she seemed to have a mist that could not be dissolved, and sighed.
"It's not!" Xie Fanghua looked at Xie Mohan, and under her brother's concerned eyes, her past and present life couldn't be explained at all. It was as if the events of her previous life were a big dream for her, which still makes her struggle in a half-dream. How did she say that sometimes the memories of the past life and the memories of the present life overlapped, and sometimes they were intersecting and separate, and even she herself could not make out the identity.
Xie Mo frowned, "Why?" Too bitter in Nameless Mountain? Make your memory ......"
Xie Fanghua pursed the corners of his mouth, shook his head, and said abruptly, "Brother, my memory is not good sometimes, a little vague and confused. So, I can't remember whether I've seen him or not, and I really don't have an impression of him in my head. ”
"Your memory has always been very good, besides, you saw him again nine years ago, and it was only a year between eight years ago and nine years ago, if you really saw him at that time, it is impossible not to recognize him." Xie Mohan stared at her and asked.
Xie Fanghua shook his head, "I don't remember." ”
"Think about it carefully, eight years ago, did you really see Qin Zheng in the team of the royal family's hidden guards?" Xie Mohan looked at her, "Yun Ji is his own person, but Qin Zheng ...... After all, his identity is different, his surname is Qin, this matter is not trivial! ”
In the end, they are brother and sister, no matter how transparent the minds of the two people are, they will also talk about it, and there will be no estrangement.
Xie Fanghua couldn't help but smile when he saw that he realized that she was annoyed and said soft words.
Xie Mohan was reprimanded by his sister for the first time, looked at her stiff face, smiled, and some of the feelings entangled in his heart spread slightly, and said helplessly, "Okay, okay, I don't think about it anymore, and I don't complain about myself anymore." They all listen to the women of our family. ”
"Brother, what do you want me to say? How many times have I said that? You don't have to think so much! Your body is more important than anything else. Xie Fanghua was a little angry when she heard this, "If you do this again, I won't tell you anything in the future." ”
Xie Mohan put away his feelings and sighed, "For so many years, I have claimed to know many things in Beijing, but I can't do it with my hands and eyes. I just hate that this body is not angry, and I need to lie in bed for half a year, and I miss a lot of things that I should know. ”
Xie Fanghua nodded.
Xie Mohan was surprised when he heard this, "You mean that Yun Ji also went to the team of the royal family's hidden guards?" ”
"Brother, you don't have to worry, how chaotic it was back then, you may not know that many children of noble mansions in Nanqin were either replaced or persecuted, and then they were forced to go to the team of the royal guards to get ahead. Take Xie Yunji from Xie's salt warehouse, he also met me there back then, and later escaped back. Among the people who know my identity, there is already one of them, and I am afraid of a second one? The third? Xie Fanghua quietly took Xie Mohan's hand and dragged him to sit down again.
Xie Mohan's complexion changed slightly.
"If so, doesn't he know that I went to Nameless Mountain?" Xie Fanghua's eyebrows sank a little, and he laughed, "If yes, then you know." ”
Xie Mohan was startled and stood up suddenly, "You mean at that time?" If that's the case, wouldn't that ......"
After a while, she retracted her thoughts and whispered, "If you say how he knew me, then it may have been when I left the mansion eight years ago and mixed into the royal guards. ”
Xie Mohan saw that she didn't answer, thinking about something and being a little distracted, so he stopped talking and bothered her.
Xie Fanghua nodded unconsciously.
Xie Mohan looked at her and nodded, "I don't remember how they got close and called brothers." After all, there are only a few noble mansions in Beijing, our Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, Prince Ying's Mansion, Left and Right Prime Minister's Mansion, Hanlin Bachelor's Mansion, Supervision Imperial History Mansion, and Yongkang Marquis Mansion. ”
"That means eight years ago?" Xie Fanghua fell into deep thought.
"Maybe not, it seems like not long after you left the house." Xie Mohan had a headache, "At that time, you just left, and I was worried day and night, for fear that if you didn't come back, I wouldn't have the leisure to care about other things." Yan Ting, Li Muqing and others also met at that time. You know, at that time, the study room was opened, and the children of each province were old enough to enter the school, and they began to go out of the house to go to the study. Although I was weak, I didn't want to be left behind at the beginning, so I went. At that time, they were all moving around. The most normal thing is that. ”
"Nine years ago?" Xie Fanghua raised her eyebrows.
Xie Mohan frowned and pondered for a moment, and said vaguely uncertainly, "It's about after grandpa's birthday banquet!" ”
Xie Fanghua's brows suddenly erected, and her voice raised slightly, "Since when?" ”
Xie Mohan nodded.
Xie Fanghua grabbed the sensitive words and looked at Xie Mohan, "You say...... He deliberately befriended you? ”
Xie Mohan was even more puzzled when he heard this, "This is strange!" Since you returned to Beijing, what he has done for so long, in my opinion, she has known you for a long time, and it must not be the kind of acquaintance that you said was arrogant after just looking at you, but she likes it. I think about it carefully, over the years, he should have deliberately befriended me, and he should have had a heart for you for a long time. It's just that it's done without revealing any traces, and I didn't notice it. ”
Xie Fanghua sighed, "Brother, it's really not!" These days, when I was fine, I also thought about it carefully, and I thought carefully about everything I had since I was a child, except for nine years ago in our house, I really can't think of any time I saw him. About nine years ago, the person I am most familiar with is Yan Ting, when the two of them fought, Qin Zheng left after the fight, at that time he only looked at me, that glance was still a little arrogant, and he is now a virtue, that is the kind of, I just fought, even if I saw blood in your house, what if you found out? What can you do with me? I'm sure that the original vision was different from today's. ”
"If you think about it, it's really not?" Xie Mo asked suspiciously.
Xie Fanghua shook his head, "No! ”
Xie Mohan frowned, pondered for a moment, and asked her, "Except for nine years ago, in our mansion, he fought with Yan Ting and injured Yan Ting, after you bandaged Yan Ting, have you ever seen Qin Zheng again?" ”
Xie Fanghua looked at him, as if waiting for him to answer, and the confusion in his eyebrows and eyes was obvious.
Xie Mohan didn't expect Xie Fanghua to ask such a sentence, and he was stunned.
After half a sound, Xie Fanghua said softly, "He said he liked me, you say, where did his liking come from?" ”
Xie Mohan looked at her and waited quietly for her words.
Xie Fanghua retracted her gaze and looked at the water cup, the tea was green, when she didn't shake the cup, the tea was quiet, like a blue lake, and if she looked deeper, it was like a person's eyes, looking at her so deeply. She suddenly put down her glass and reached out to cover the rim. Said to Xie Mohan, "Brother, Qin Zheng ...... him" paused, she seemed to be careful about her words, and was silent.
"Yes, that's you!" Xie Mohan nodded.
"Me?" Xie Fanghua raised her eyebrows.
"For such a long time, I found out that he can ignore other things, whether it is the emperor, the queen, the harem concubines, or even the left and right ministers, the ministers of the court, he is all interested, he ignores it, it is all in the mood, but he must interfere in the affairs of one person." Xie Mo said.
Xie Fanghua: "Huh? "Yes.
Xie Mohan looked at her, "I'm afraid it's not easy." ”
Xie Fanghua supported his forehead with his hand, and said indifferently when he heard the words, "As long as he is not targeting me, how much power he has in his hands, and if it doesn't hinder my affairs, I won't pay attention to him." ”
Xie Mohan shook his head, "For so many years, I haven't seen him want to contaminate the imperial power, and the things in his hands have not been deliberately hidden, and he has always acted unscrupulously. Besides, these things were given to him by others. The emperor also knows. Moreover, even if the emperor wants him to enter the court, he is afraid that he does not want to enter the court. I can't guess what he wants to do. Because as long as he is interested, he will pick up anything and do it, and if he is not interested, he will disdain everything. But his interests are not easy to grasp, who knows when he is interested and when he is not. ”
Xie Fanghua frowned, looked at Xie Mohan, and said suspiciously, "What does Qin Zheng want to do?" Does he want to seize power? Why do you have so many things in your hands? No wonder the emperor is afraid of him? ”
"These are just scratching the surface, and as for the rest, I reckon, maybe there will be." Xie Mohan said again.
Xie Fanghua raised her eyebrows, she knew that Qin Zheng had a lot of things in her hands, but she didn't expect that there were so many, no wonder she dared to step on the carriage of the Zuo Xiangfu in the capital of Southern Qin.
Qin Zheng held in his hand a secret guard brought by Prince Ying from Qinghe, a secret guard assigned to him by Prince Ying, and a secret guard left to him by the Empress Dowager Deci before her death, as well as a dispatch token from the Empress Dowager's maiden family, Wang. In addition to this, he also cultivated a secret guard of his own. Xie Mohan said one by one.
Xie Fanghua remembered that Qin Zheng borrowed a knife to kill Qin Hao in a few words today, and she couldn't help but smile.
"That's natural! There are so many things in his hands that the emperor has indulged him for so many years, but in fact, he can't figure out how to deal with him. Otherwise, his title should have been sealed a long time ago, and he would not have dragged on until now and would not let go no matter what. The emperor's purpose is nothing more than to let Qin Hao contain him, but unfortunately Qin Hao is not of great use. Xie Mohan said.
"I know!" Xie Fanghua nodded, indifferently and said, "But Qin Zheng is here, isn't it?" He's not a soft-handed man, either. When the words fell, she laughed, "Even the emperor's hidden guards can block back, and they will turn their faces when they talk to the emperor in person." He relied not only on the relationship between the British prince's palace and the royal family, but also on the power he held in his hands. ”
Xie Mohan nodded, and said with some concern, "I know about yesterday and today's events, these two times Qin Zheng has offended the emperor for you, he can't do what Qin Zheng does, but he can do to you." You'll have to be more careful in the future. The emperor has been in power for 20 years, and he is definitely not a soft-handed person. ”
Xie Fanghua poured himself another glass, picked it up, and said while drinking, "The emperor has found trouble listening to the sound today, and he is very stiff. After yesterday he sent the royal guards to follow me, Qin Zheng quit and turned his face with him, plus today, these two things are enough for him to see clearly. I won't be looking for trouble with listening to the sound anymore, and I shouldn't be looking for trouble again in the short term, if I want to get rid of it, I will definitely hit it in one hit in the future, and I will succeed in one fell swoop. Therefore, after today's incident, Pinzhu will stay in Prince Ying's Mansion instead of me, which should be fine. In addition, I miss home, I miss you and grandpa, so I took this opportunity to come back. ”
Xie Mohan stretched out his hand to take it, probably a little thirsty, so he picked it up and sipped it gently.
Xie Fanghua turned around and sat on the chair, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Xie Mohan.
Xie Mo smiled, "Although you don't want to hear it, your affairs are all related to him, and you can't do it if you don't say it." The words fell, looked at her and said, "Take today as an example, I really didn't expect you to let Pinzhu stay in Prince Ying's mansion to replace you, and you went back to the mansion." ”
Xie Fanghua rubbed his forehead and said admittedly, "I really don't want to hear this name!" ”
"Don't talk about Qin Zheng, right?" Xie Mohan looked at him and asked with a smile.
Xie Fanghua turned his head, snorted softly, and said dissatisfiedly, "I finally came back, can you not tell me the holy decree?" ”
"Yes, I can't always treat you as a child, you're already in time, you're an adult." Xie Mohan said with a smile, "If it weren't for the strict decree of the emperor, you would have been able to get married." ”
Xie Fanghua couldn't help but smile when she heard this, let go of him, and said helplessly, "Brother, don't always treat me as a child." ”
Xie Mohan's heart softened, and he said with emotion, "I thought my sister had forgotten to even be coquettish!" OK! ”
Xie Fanghua stretched out his hand and slapped him, naturally it was extremely light, and he took his daughter's family to her brother's intimacy and coquettishness.
Xie Mohan was so smart, seeing this, he immediately understood that she felt sorry for him, and immediately smiled, didn't push her away, let her hold him and said, "How old are you?" Still crying nose? Laugh no joke! ”
"Brother!" Xie Fanghua shouted in a low voice, his voice low and slightly nasal crying.
Xie Mo was stunned.
Thinking like this, she approached Xie Mohan and reached out to hug him with a chair.
Xie Fanghua's heart hurt slightly, for so many years, she had no good night's sleep in the nameless mountain, and lived a life like hell purgatory, but her brother was in the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, not to mention the huge lintel that supported the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, just said that his identity as a son was a live target. How many people want him to die. How many open knives and dark arrows are there? Besides, he was worried about him, and he was afraid that he would not have a good night's sleep.
"I've been used to it for so many years, but I always can't sleep well, and I wake up at the slightest movement." Xie Mohan rubbed his eyes.
Xie Fanghua sighed helplessly and looked at him, "Brother, you sleep too lightly!" ”
Xie Mohan opened his eyes, looked at the bed, and saw Xie Fanghua tiptoeing out of bed, he smiled, his voice hoarse, "Woke up?" ”
Her movements were extremely light, but she still woke Xie Mohan up at the first time.
She slowly sat up, reached out to lift the curtain, and got out of bed.
She sighed secretly, his father and mother left their brothers and sisters with seven exquisite thoughts, and this mind was placed on the woman's body, which was just too easy to break. If it is placed on a man's body, it will hurt Huiji. In the end, it's a good thing and a bad thing.
Although my brother said that he would let her do a thing, he was afraid that he still couldn't get over that hurdle in his heart. still thinks that the girder that should be on his top has been picked up by her. I don't know how uncomfortable I have been and I can't sleep all night!
She wanted to laugh a little, but looking at his tired eyebrows and eyes, and the thick green shadow under his eyes, she couldn't laugh at all.
Xie Fanghua was stunned for a moment, thinking that her brother must know that she was back, so she looked for her, but unfortunately she was asleep, and her brother did not wake him up, but waited here, and after a long time, he was also sleepy.
It was his elder brother Xie Mohan.
The man sat in a chair, leaning back in the chair, seemingly asleep.
She stared at the bed tent for a moment, only to realize that it was not only herself, but also a person sitting in the room.
She opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was not the familiar curtain, she was stunned for a while, and then she remembered that she had returned to the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong, and she couldn't help but smile to herself, in the end, habit is a terrible thing, she stayed in the Prince of Ying's Mansion after returning to Beijing, and it was more familiar than the place where she grew up since she was a child. After all, this room has been gone for eight years, and after coming back, it has only lived once or twice, so it is strange.
Xie Fanghua woke up from sleep, it was already evening, and the sky was already dark.
A cry, "Stinky woman!" You can't live if you do your own evil! Obviously, you can only drink half a jar of wine, but you have to drink a jar, it's no wonder that it's not uncomfortable! ”
Qin Zheng was walking on the way back to Prince Ying's mansion when he got the news that Xie Fanghua had fallen asleep after entering the Begonia Garden, and he snorted softly
The inside and outside of the Begonia Garden were very quiet, and the room was also extremely quiet, and Xie Fanghua fell asleep after a while.
The four of them originally wanted to ask if it would be inappropriate for Pinzhu to replace Miss and they couldn't deal with it, but seeing that Xie Fanghua was so sleepy and tired, they all suppressed their words and quietly retreated.
She entered the room, waved off the waiter and the other four, and went to bed. Although there was a short rest in the warm pavilion next to the Bihu Lake in Prince Ying's mansion, it couldn't relieve the fatigue in the end.
If there is no imperial power Tianwang pressed by the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, Haitang Garden can also be compared to Luomei Ju is paradise.
Begonia Garden, just like when she left a few days ago, the begonia flowers are pleasantly fragrant, the spring breeze warms, and the yard is quiet and quiet.
Xie Fanghua was indeed a little tired, and after entering the house, she did not immediately go to the old marquis of Rongfutang, nor did she go to her brother in Zhilan Garden, but went back to Haitang Garden.
He shook his head, sighed, and ordered the door to be closed, and went back to the inner courtyard.
The waiter felt that Qin Zheng was really uncertain, and this kind of temperament, that is, the young lady could stand him. I really don't understand why so many boudoir women in Beijing are fond of him? In his opinion, his family is much stronger than this second son. It's just that the prince is sick and has always been weak, and the position of the Marquis of Zhongyong is particularly sensitive, so many people dare not take it lightly to marry the Marquis of Zhongyong.
The coachman felt that the second son's love had changed, and he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly whipped and left the gate of the Zhongyong Marquis's mansion.
