"Yes!" Kazeri turned and went.
Xie Yunlan raised his steps and continued to walk towards the mansion, and after walking a few steps, his voice calmly said to Feng Li, "Go to the Xie Rice Grain Mansion to spread the word, just say that the funeral will be held on the seventh day, and Miss Fanghua will go to see the old lady off." Let the people in the house be prepared. β
"Miss Fanghua likes the second son of Zheng, right?" Feng Li said a little unhappily.
Xie Yunlan paused.
Feng Li followed behind him and whispered, "Childe, it is said that on the day the old lady went, the emperor invited Miss Fanghua into the palace, and it seemed that he was going to give her a refund of her marriage with the second son of Zheng, but Miss Fanghua did not agree and rejected the emperor. β
Xie Yunlan watched the carriage go away, knowing that it was gone, so he slowly turned around and went home.
The waiter and the waiter immediately sat in front of the car, waved the horsewhip, and the carriage left the door of the mansion.
Xie Fanghua smiled, said goodbye to Xie Yunlan, and told Qichen to return home.
Xie Yunji sneered, "Sure enough, it's something sent by Qin Zheng!" β
When the cat saw Xie Fanghua, it immediately approached her aggrievedly, saw that she didn't drive away, rubbed on her, and then slowly lay next to her beside her.
In a moment, Kazuri took the cat out and put it in the car.
"Not only Sister Fanghua, but also me!" Xie Yunji slapped Xie Yunlan on the shoulder and got into the carriage.
Xie Yunlan waved his hand at Fengli, and Fengli hurriedly went to hug the cat.
Xie Fanghua turned around and got into the carriage.
Xie Yunlan bowed.
"Brother Yun and I are back, you have a good rest! Don't think about it anymore. At the funeral on the seventh day, I will go to see the old lady off. Xie Fanghua pursed her lips and said slowly.
Xie Yunlan's eyes moved, he was silent for a moment, and nodded, "Okay!" β
Xie Fanghua nodded, "Brother Yunlan, although the old lady has gone." There may be nothing you think is worth caring about, and maybe, there is nothing to make you feel promising. After a pause, she looked at him seriously, and her voice changed, "But, in addition to Xie's rice grain, there is also me!" So, you have to be good! β
Xie Yunlan looked at Xie Fanghua.
"Then I'll go back to my house and get it for you. You...... Leaving now? Although Feng Li asked Xie Fanghua, her eyes were on Xie Yunlan.
Xie Fanghua nodded, "Qin Zheng asked!" β
Feng Li hurriedly said, "Miss Hui Fanghua, here!" That cat is in our house right now. Do you want to take it back? β
Xie Yunlan was stunned, and turned back to find Fengli with some uncertainty.
Xie Fanghua stopped and asked Xie Yunlan, "Brother Yunlan, when you came out of Pingyang City, what about the cat that Qin Zheng sent!" Can you be here? β
After two teas, the three of them returned to the door of Xie Yunlan's mansion.
The two nodded, and walked back together.
Xie Fanghua threw the empty spool in his hand and clapped his hands, "Let's go back!" β
Xie Yunji smiled slightly.
Xie Yunji said "ha", "That's right! β
But in Xie's eyes, the royal family is the one who holds the line. Xie's kite, can be flown or not. On the contrary, the royal family chose to put it. Then, if there is release, there must be a break free, and there will be a lot of resistance from the outside world. For example, the wind, such as the entanglement of the strings of other kite flyers, such as whether the hand strength is strong enough and whether it can be pulled back. For example, if the thread is tough or not, will it break. Xie Fanghua said.
"Somewhat!" Xie Yunji nodded.
"The kite wants to fly higher, and the kite flyer keeps the string in his hand." Xie Fanghua said calmly, "In the eyes of the royal family, the Xie family is the one who holds the string and the one who flies the kite. hinders the way for the kite to fly farther, that is, it hinders the way of the royal family, and the royal family wants to be self-respecting, without the exclusive respect of the tiger of the Xie family. β
Xie Yunji blinked.
Xie Fanghua glanced back at the sky, and there was no trace of the kite anymore, she said lightly, "Brother Yunji, the royal family and the Xie family are like a kite and a kite flyer. You say, at the moment, who is the kite and who is the kite flyer? β
When he came closer, Xie Yunji naturally muttered to her dissatisfiedly and asked for the reason.
She stood on the hillside and looked at the sky for a moment, then turned and walked back.
After a while, Xie Fanghua really flew the kite, and floated higher and farther along the sky and with the wind.
Xie Yunji was a little unwilling, but he didn't stop it in the end, and sat down again.
"According to Fengli, there are still many kites in my house, and she is willing to do it, and there must be her reason. You can't stop you if you go. Xie Yunlan stretched out his hand to stop Xie Yunji.
"Stinky girl! I haven't put enough of it yet! Why did she fly a kite that was finally flown up? Xie Yunji immediately stood up to stop him.
"Looks like we're going to fly the kite!" Xie Yunlan said.
After a while, Xie Yunji suddenly said in surprise, "What is she doing?" β
The two looked at Xie Fanghua at the same time.
Xie Yunji also stopped talking.
Xie Yunlan stopped talking.
"Maybe!" Xie Yunji was noncommittal.
"It's not that you can't do it, but you never wanted to do it!" Xie Yunlan shook his head.
"So when the emperor made a move against the Xie family, you took back half of the salt warehouse from him and gave him a black tiger heart?" Xie Yunji patted Xie Yunlan on the shoulder, "This is your ability!" If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do it! β
Xie Yunlan suddenly sat down, looked at the sky and said, "I once thought about how good it would be if I wasn't from the Xie family!" But my grandmother told me plainly that I was in the blood of the Xie family. It is my responsibility to protect Xie's rice grain. β
Xie Yunji looked at Xie Fanghua and walked to the hillside, and slowly continued, "But since last year's Chinese New Year's Eve, I saw Sister Fanghua. Later, I went to look for her and talk to her, she was a weak woman, and she was determined to shoulder the responsibilities of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion and the Xie family. I suddenly felt that the Xie Salt Warehouse had raised me for so many years, and I was not born in the Xie family, but I was also a Xie family. There's no reason for me to ignore the Xie clan anymore and watch it perish. At that time, she said that there were no eggs under the nest. It suddenly dawned on me that maybe I didn't want Xie to fall so much, I didn't want to go away so much, I didn't want to get rid of Xie so much. β
"Born in the Xie family, in addition to training all the time when I was a child, learning literature and martial arts, it is very hard to hone and endure. When you grow up, you have to take over the family business and take responsibility. Over the years, step by step. I became the heir to the Hsieh Salt Warehouse. Originally, I thought that I would do my best to protect the Xie family's salt warehouse for a day, but if the emperor wanted to get rid of the Xie family, when I couldn't protect it, I was powerless, and I just left. β
Xie Yunlan was silent.
After a long time, Xie Yunji suddenly put down his hand, shook his head, and smiled bitterly, "I have always been obsessed with finding my own background, the more my father doesn't want me to find it, the more he doesn't tell me, the more I want to find it." Slowly, over the years, it became an obsession in my heart. But today, after you tell me, I realize that I may not be so eager to find my own background. β
Xie Yunji stood aside and watched him.
"If there is the power of the Xie family's rice grain and the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion to investigate! It should be overwhelming. Xie Yunji suddenly covered his face with his hands, and then slowly sat down on the grass.
"A Xie Clan's salt warehouse may not be able to find out, especially if the old master doesn't want you to find out. But if there is the power of the Xie family's rice grain and the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion to investigate! Xie Yunlan looked at Xie Yunji, "In this case, do you still want to check?" β
"Look, even you don't think it's possible!" Xie Yunji laughed.
Xie Yunlan shook his head.
Xie Yunji suddenly sneered, "The Xie family is loyal to the country, even if the Southern Qin royal family is bent on getting rid of the Xie family, but the Xie family will not oppose the Southern Qin royal family." The Xie Salt Warehouse has always been attached to the auxiliary Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion, and is also loyal to the country. Do you think he will take in children from other countries to train them to become the successors of the Xie Salt Warehouse? β
"You have been secretly investigating in Southern Qin, have you ever thought about going to Northern Qi?" Xie Yunlan looked at him.
Xie Yunji's body suddenly straightened, "My background? What did you know? β
Xie Yunlan took his hand away, "I'm talking about your life experience!" β
Xie Yunji turned his head to look at Xie Yunlan and put his arm around his shoulder, "Huh? What are you talking about? β
Xie Fanghua took the scroll and walked towards the higher hillside.
Xie Yunji handed her the thread.
"Give me the line!" Xie Fanghua stretched out his hand to him.
Xie Yunji ran around, put all the ropes away, only holding a scroll, and then ran back to the two of them sweating profusely, "What are you talking about?" All of them have such heavy faces! β
The two looked at Xie Yunji in silence and stopped talking.
Xie Fanghua pursed the corners of her mouth.
"He can be chosen as an heir by the head of the Xie family's salt warehouse, so he is naturally not incompetent." Xie Yunlan also looked at Xie Yunji, "It's just that if his background is not in Southern Qin." Then I'm afraid it will be a problem. β
"He shouldn't have been burdened with the responsibilities that belong to the Xie family, but although he was not born in the Xie family, he was raised in the Xie family." Xie Fanghua looked at Xie Yunji, who had run away, and the string of the kite was getting higher and higher in his hand, "When I found him and pulled him into my side, I naturally had to take a responsibility for him." β
Xie Yunlan bowed.
Xie Fanghua nodded, and suddenly said, "About Brother Yunji's life experience, Brother Yunlan, do you know something?" β
Xie Yunlan pondered for a moment, "I don't understand it!" But there should be a killing chance. β
"What's wrong?" Xie Fanghua's voice was deliberately lowered, and he approached Xie Yunlan.
"It's not just the fourth prince Qin Yu!" Xie Yunlan said, "I looked at the two people just now, one of them was wearing a hat veil, although he only showed a pair of eyes, but I think he saw Yun Ji's gaze at first glance is not right!" β
Xie Fanghua was stunned, his eyes shrunk brightly, "Brother Yunlan means ......"
Xie Yunlan looked at Xie Yunlan, who was running away, and pursed his lips, "In addition, let Yun Ji be careful." β
Xie Fanghua nodded.
"Maybe the Southern Qin royal family didn't notice that the Cuihong Mansion was related to the Northern Qi royal family, maybe even if they did, they turned a blind eye." Xie Yunlan said, "There is more than one bustard in Cuihong Mansion. β
"It's okay to say that it has something to do with the Southern Qin royal family. To be the first green building in the capital, naturally it cannot be without a backer. But since it is also related to the Northern Qi royal family, can the Southern Qin royal family allow it? Xie Fanghua was strange.
Xie Yunlan bowed, "Be careful!" As far as I can see, in addition to being related to the Southern Qin royal family, Cuihong Mansion is also related to the Northern Qi royal family. It's not an easy place. β
Xie Fanghua watched the kite tremble with the wind and fly high, and whispered to Xie Yunlan, "Brother Yunlan, I have already asked my brother to check on those two people." β
As Xie Yunji ran, the kite gradually flew into the sky.
Xie Fanghua also let go of his hand.
Xie Yunji was no longer deeply entangled, and ran with the rope shaft of the reel.
Xie Yunlan didn't answer, and said to him, "You have to run with a kite to get higher because of the wind." After the words fell, he gave the rope to Xie Yunji.
Xie Yunji raised his eyebrows, "Is there another hidden secret?" β
"King Yuqian?" Xie Yunlan smiled, "I don't think so!" β
"Who is the master behind the Emerald Red Mansion, hasn't it always been a well-known thing? It's the king of Lingnan Yuqian! Xie Yun continued, "Once when he was young in the capital, he fell in love with the Honggu of the Cuihong Mansion. Before leaving, Honggu was reluctant to go to Lingnan with him, so he took down the Cui Honglou and gave it to Honggu, who stayed in the capital and guarded the place where they first met. β
"It depends on who the master behind the Emerald Red Mansion is!" Xie Yunlan's tone was calm.
"It's not strange that there are Northern Qi people in the capital, but it's strange that there are Northern Qi people in the capital who dare to provoke Qin Zheng." Xie Yunji looked at Xie Yunlan, "Don't you think it's strange?" β
"Although the Southern Qin and Northern Qi were divided and ruled, they did not block commerce and trade. Merchants have always been in contact with each other. And the Qinlou Chu Pavilion and other places like the Goulan Fat Powder are no matter what the Southern Qin people or the Northern Qi people are. Xie Yunlan looked in the direction where the two were leaving, "It's not strange that there are Northern Qi people in the capital. The imperial capital of the Northern Qi also had Southern Qin people. β
"Northern Qi people?" Xie Yunji's eyes narrowed.
"It's like a Northern Qi person!" Xie Yunlan, who had not spoken, said.
After hearing this, Xie Yun sighed, "What a bold Qingqi, they didn't even look at Qin Zheng in their eyes, what are their origins?" β
Xie Fanghua smiled, but he didn't hide it, and briefly said what happened.
"But I suddenly think you're more interesting!" Xie Yun continued.
Xie Fanghua looked at the kite in mid-air, "Aren't you here to fly a kite?" β
Xie Yunji watched the two of them slowly walk away and went somewhere else, he turned around and approached Xie Fanghua, "Hey, Sister Fanghua, you seem to have done something interesting." Tell me about it! β
Yan Qing followed him and didn't say a word from beginning to end.
"Miss Fanghua of the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion made a promise, and after three days, if there is no living lotus orchid. You have to remember what you said. Yun Shui laughed and walked away.
Xie Fanghua ignored Xie Yunji, slowly turned around, continued to fly the kite, and said quietly, "Three days later, the lotus orchid will definitely be delivered to the door!" The two sons can rest assured! β
Xie Yunji was stunned for a moment, looking at Xie Fanghua, and didn't seem to believe it.
Yun Shui suddenly sneered at this time, "Two days and nights ago, Miss Fanghua of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion visited the Light Water Building of the Cuihong Mansion at night. But the two of us received it. How can you not recognize? β
"Huh? No, little girl, how do you know them? Xie Yunji turned his head to look at Xie Fanghua.
Yun Shui's face turned cold.
Xie Yunji's hand that was about to hook his shoulders stiffened, and he suddenly retracted, his face surprised, "I said no wonder I smelled a smell of fat powder, it turned out to be from the newly opened Qingshui Building in Cuihong Building." Gee! β
Xie Fanghua looked at Xie Yunji's actions, and suddenly said, "Brother Yunji, it doesn't matter if he doesn't know you, you don't know if he can't." He is the son of the newly opened faΓ§ade of the Green Red Building. β
"Brother Ren, you are so strange!" Xie Yunji took the words and took a step forward, as if he wanted to hook the other party's shoulder.
"Yes!" Yun Shui smiled, his tone slightly frivolous, "After all, we are not the second son of Zheng." I'm just wondering, why didn't the second son of Zheng accompany Miss Fanghua! β
Xie Fanghua frowned, his face was slightly gloomy, "Who are these two people, I don't seem to have to explain it to you, Gongzi." β
"Who are these two sons? Miss Fanghua, don't you want to introduce me? Yun Shui's eyes flickered, looking at Xie Yunji and Xie Yunlan, and smiled meaningfully, "I thought that the second son of Yi Zheng cared about Miss Fanghua, and he would not allow other men to get close." But now I'm dazzled? Not one, but two? β
"It's not time, Yunshui Gongzi is worried too early!" Xie Fanghua lightly shook his head and didn't want to say more.
"Three days have not yet arrived! But I'm curious now, whether Miss Fanghua raised the lotus orchid to death. Yun Shui looked at Xie Fanghua with a smile.
Xie Fanghua smiled faintly, "It's not three days yet, is it?" The two sons are so special, even if I have a bad memory, I can remember them. β
Yan Qing did not speak.
"Miss Fanghua, doesn't she know the two of us?" Yunshui raised his eyebrows.
Xie Yunji and Xie Yunlan also turned around at the same time when they heard the sound, and looked at the two of them, Xie Yunji frowned, Xie Yunlan's face was ordinary, and he couldn't see any emotion.
Xie Fanghua didn't answer immediately, but raised an eyebrow at the two.
The person who didn't hide it was the man who stopped in front of Qin Zheng's horse late that night and didn't let her leave and let her be an orchid.
Now a man was wearing a hat on his head, a light veil covering his face, and a man was hiding nothing, and one of them was walking from behind with a kite in his hand.
Two days ago, although it was late at night, she also remembered the appearance of the two people playing chess in the painting hall of Qingshui Building in Cuihong Building.
Xie Fanghua heard a familiar voice, turned his head slowly, and looked at the source of the sound.
