At one point, everyone was seated.

I had never seen Shangguan Yuanlong before this summer, and I didn't expect that today's practice banquet would invite him, and I was inevitably surprised. Looking at others again, Xie Xiao is a person who can't hide his thoughts, although he didn't say anything, his expression was gloomy and obvious. Xie Baili was strong in spirit, but there was a sadness that could not be concealed in the furrow between his eyebrows.

"What's going on?" She asked Yang Yue in a low voice.

Yang Yue explained to her like this.

This summer, he said in his heart: This Zhizhejiang Governor Hu Zongxian's brain is really good, the Japanese are wandering along the coast, and the officials in the yamen must not be able to bear it, so let the monks of Shaolin Temple go down the mountain to fight the Japanese Kou, this method is really wonderful.

"Xie Xiao has been out for three years, and it has been less than a month since he came home, where is Old Man Xie willing to let him go again." Yang Yue whispered to her.

"This is called the dilemma of loyalty and filial piety." Jin Xia sighed, "Think about it, my mother understands righteousness." ”

Looking at the dishes on the table, no one in the elders moved the chopsticks, and their group of juniors naturally didn't dare to move a bit, they didn't eat lunch this summer, and they were hungry now, and they could see but not eat, which was really a great torture for her.

Xie Baili ordered the servants to pour wine, but Yang Chengwan couldn't drink alcohol, so he replaced it with tea.

"Today was originally for Yang Yue's two children this summer," Xie Baili picked up his wine glass with a serious expression, "But I just received a letter that the Japanese in Zhejiang are in exile and the people are displaced, and Xiao'er and Xi'er's mentors invite them to Zhejiang to fight against the Japanese together." I have already discussed with Brother Shangguan to let these two children go to Zhejiang......"

"Daddy!"

Xie Xiao didn't expect Xie Baili to agree, and he was pleasantly surprised.

Xie Baili glared at him: "Why, happy to be like this, I wish I was far away from home, right?" ”

"Daddy, I didn't expect you to be willing to let me go to Zhejiang, are you really willing?"

"It is the great righteousness of the country to resist the Japanese, not to mention that the master has an order, and it should not be violated." Xie Baili sighed, "Don't I know your temperament, even if I force you to stay at home, you are not stable, and sooner or later something happens, it is better to let you out." ”

At this time, Shangguan Xi frowned and said, "What should I do about the affairs of the gang?" ”

"I've discussed it with your father, so I have to come out and take care of it again." Xie Baili laughed, "Although the arms and legs are not as good as back then, fortunately, they can still move." ”

"Daddy......" Shangguan Xi looked at Shangguan Yuanlong, with an apologetic face, "The help is complicated, I'm worried that you are too tired." ”

Shangguan Yuanlong said with a smile: "Good girl, your father and I have enjoyed Qingfu at home for a few years, and now it's time to move your muscles." ”

Xie Baili also smiled: "That's it, let's not go out of the mountain, but let these juniors look down on it...... You see, Brother Yang's two children are well-behaved and well-behaved. ”

This summer and Yang Yue listened to the praise and secretly laughed.

Yang Chengwan smiled and said: "That's fine, let them set off together tomorrow, and there will be a good response on the way." ”

Hearing this, this summer sighed in his heart: There is still Ah Rui in the car, if he walks with Shangguan Xi, in case she detects it, it is an indescribable thing, I am afraid that something will happen. She was thinking about how to shirk it when she heard Xie Xiao speak.

"Uncle Yang, it's not me who refutes your face, although your peers can take care of it, but Lu Yi is an official family, and now I heard that he has been promoted to the fourth grade, we are people in the rivers and lakes, and it is really inconvenient to walk with him." Even though Sha Xiuzhu had been rescued, Xie Xiao always had a grudge against Lu Yi.

Shangguan Xi also felt uncomfortable: "The affairs of the gang still need to be explained, and it will take a day or two to set off, and I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up tomorrow." ”

Yang Chengwan smiled: "I just said it casually, don't mind, you just have to act cheaply." ”

Hearing them say this, I was secretly relieved this summer.

When everything was settled, Xie Xiao thought that he was going to Zhejiang, and he could fight against the Japanese with all the brothers and sisters, so he was happy, drank a lot of wine, and said a lot of words to coax Xie Baili to rejoice.

Xie Baili knew that his son was deliberately saying nice things, but he was also very useful.

The father and son don't quarrel and quarrel, and the others are much more relaxed, and the meal is happy for both the guests and the host.

Xie Xiao and Xie Baili drank a lot, and rested early after the banquet was dismissed; Shangguan Xi sent Shangguan Yuanlong back, and Yang Yue also accompanied his father back to the house to rest.

This summer, because he was worried about tomorrow's affairs, and because of Yang Chengwan's presence, he didn't dare to drink more, so he only took two sips of snow wine. After the banquet was over, she went to the stove to ask for some clean food, and hurried out to the bamboo forest.

Driving through the bamboo forest, she walked quickly into the bamboo house, and the moment she walked through the door, she lightened her steps.

Inside the house, the lights are like beans, and they are quiet.

Rui was still lying on the bamboo bed as she had left, unmoved.

This summer's eyes fell on Lu Yi, he sat by the window, his elbows propped up his forehead, his eyes closed, as if he was recuperating his nerves, and as if he had fallen asleep......

"Your Excellency?" She called tentatively.

Quietly, he didn't react, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows never moved.

She carefully put the food box on the table, biting her lip and looking at Lu Yi with embarrassment: the food in the food box should be eaten while it is hot, but he looks very tired, should he be woken up?

The candlelight was faint, and before she knew it, she had already approached Lu Yi, so close that she could even count how many eyelashes he had.

Suddenly, he slowly opened his eyes.

The four eyes are facing each other, and they are close at hand.

“…… Are you spying on me? Probably because he had just woken up, his voice was a little lazy.

Jin Xia hurriedly stood up straight and distanced themselves from each other: "No...... My lord, I brought food, you can eat it while it's hot, it's cold and hurts your stomach. ”

Lu Yi glanced at her: "It smells of wine, have you eaten and drunk enough at the Xie family?" ”

This summer pursed his lips weakly: "It's very fun tonight, I'll just drink two sips, and I don't dare to drink more when the head is here." ”

Lu Yi got up, first glanced at Ah Rui on the bamboo bed, and saw that he was still the same, so he lazily stretched his □.

"It's all fun......," he said in a bad tone, "is there anything good?" ”

"Xie Xiao and Shangguan Xi received a letter from the master, inviting them to go to Zhejiang to fight against the Japanese, and the old man Xie also nodded, Xie Xiao was so happy, he said a few baskets of good things to the old man, and estimated that he had made up for all the good things he owed for more than ten years, and the old man was also happy." Jin Xia laughed, "Then they both drank too much. ”

Lu Yi squinted at her: "I think you're quite happy, huh?" ”

After carefully figuring out the meaning of Lu Yi's words, Xia Zhengse said: "No, I have been thinking about you not eating, although I am smiling with my face, I am actually very anxious." ”

knew that she might not be telling the truth, but when these words came out of her mouth, Lu Yi was still very useful, stared at her for a while, and finally couldn't help laughing.

Seeing this summer, he also grinned, opened the food box, and gave him Zhang Luo to eat.

Lu Yicai took two bites, as if he remembered something, and asked, "Xie Xiao, they won't go with us, right?" ”

"No, the Shangguan Hall Master and the help have not yet been delivered, and they will probably have to leave a day or two late."

Lu Yi didn't say anything more.

Hearing the four words of Shangguan Hall Master, although Ah Rui on the bamboo bed was still in a coma, his fingers trembled imperceptibly.

"What do you ...... Shangguan Hall Master" Jinxia tilted his head to look at Lu Yi and asked curiously, "I really don't have anything else to think about?" ”

Lu Yi took a meatball with chopsticks, stuffed it directly into her mouth, frowned and asked, "What do you think I should think about her?" ”

This summer, while chewing, thinking and chewing, he analyzed it to him: "Although the master of Shangguan Hall is a person in the rivers and lakes, but in terms of appearance and temperament, it is rare, if you say that you don't look down on her, or you are not tempted at all, it will be a bit hypocritical." ”

"Am I hypocritical?" Lu Yi frowned.

Jinxia hurriedly reassured him: "These meatballs are so fragrant, you can taste them too...... My lord, you can't be married, right? ”

"You think I'm like you."

Lu Yi choked her back angrily.

It seems that this topic is not suitable today, and this summer I changed the topic with interest: "The route to Zhejiang is to go to Jiaxing through Suzhou ......"

"No, go to Yixing first, from Yixing to Huzhou Mansion." Lu Yi interrupted her.

This summer was stunned: "Go to Yixing first?" ”

"Well, my grandmother is in Liyang, and I stopped by to see her old man."

"Oh...... Understood, the lowly duty went back to the city first to arrange the carriage. ”

******************************************************************

The next day, after resigning from Yang Chengwan, he told Yang Yue about Ah Rui in the carriage this summer, but because Zhai Lanye's death was still hidden from Yang Yue, he didn't dare to say in detail, only said that Ah Rui was seriously injured by someone.

Yang Yue was puzzled: "Why don't you hand over the person to the Shangguan Hall Master and take him to Zhejiang to do something?" ”

"He is poisoned by the Orientals, probably Lord Lu wants to wait for him to wake up and ask what is going on." This summer replied vaguely, "Lord Lu acts, how can we ask more." ”

Yang Yue always felt confused, and later he was shocked when he saw Ah Rui's unrecognizable appearance, but fortunately, he was used to keeping his duty, so he didn't ask more.

So all the way south, crossed the river, passed through Zhenjiang, and then to Liyang, and arrived in Yixing two days later.

In the past two days, Yang Yue has changed the medicine for Ah Rui, and fed him some porridge soup intermittently, Ah Rui has never been awake and has been in a coma, but fortunately, the wound has been slowly healing.

Lu Yi's grandmother's family is a big family here, standing outside this summer, looking at the blue tiles and white walls in front of him, he feels that most of the big families are still underestimated, how can his family be regarded as a local famous family.

After the little servant reported, someone who looked like a housekeeper hurriedly rushed out and led them into the courtyard along with the carriage. This summer, he and Yang Yue were arranged to rest in a small courtyard, and Lu Yi went straight into the inner courtyard.

After resting here for the night, and getting ready to hit the road, this summer it was discovered that there were two more carriages, much more elaborate than the original.

"One of my cousins is going back to her hometown to visit the grave, and she happened to be with us." Lu Yi said lightly.

Jinxia was stunned: "You still have a cousin?" ”

"I didn't pop out of the cracks in the stones, I naturally have a cousin."

As he was talking, a Qianqian girl was helped out by the old woman, and two maids were waiting next to her.

"Big brother." She gave a salute to Lu Yi and said softly, "At the end of last year, the second brother brought rose dew and hosta powder to the sisters, saying that the eldest brother specially prepared them. ”

Lu Yi smiled and said, "It's not worth anything...... Come, these two are the catchers of the six doors, Yuan Jinxia and Yang Yue, this time to assist me in office affairs, they will go together all the way. They all carry knives with them, so don't be frightened when you see them. ”

This summer glanced at the Pu knife on his body and was silent.
