The city gate of Chang'an was opened at the end of the day, and the bell of the official street drum was still ringing in the city. Officials who needed to go to the court either rode horses or sat in sedan chairs and hurried in the direction of the palace.

Uncle Zhuang drove into the city and soon came to the Xiao family's old house. The last time Xiao Shiji came to the suburbs to pay respects to Du Hengshuang's grave, Qian Bo came with him.

Uncle Zhuang rushed to see him, and knew that he had married Du Hengshuang's subordinates such as Ou Yangniang and Zhishu, and followed Hou Ye back to the Xiao family's old house to live.

Although His Majesty gave Hou Ye the first Chengkang Fang, Xiao Shiji still didn't want to live in the past for the time being.

So when Uncle Zhuang came to Chang'an, he immediately came to the Xiao family's old house to find Uncle Qian.

Now the subordinates who have come back with Xiao Shiji are all Xiao Shiji's henchmen.

After Xiao Shihe was made a marquis, Xiao Taiji's earldom was taken away.

was originally borrowed from Xiao Shiji's title, and if Xiao Shiji's son does not grow up, Xiao Taiji's title naturally does not need to be returned.

But now that Xiao Shi and himself have returned, he has to pay it back.

Later, Xiao Shihe was immediately named the Marquis of Zhuguo, and Xiao Taiji still had a trace of extravagant hopes, hoping that His Majesty would forget about him and not take the title back.

But His Majesty doesn't remember him, but some people do.

For example, a squire in the household department of the court proposed to His Majesty, saying that the titles of Daqi were too sealed, and the court could not afford to raise so many idlers, so he asked His Majesty to clean up those unnecessary titles and use the silver on the blade.

Because knighthood is different. In addition to the title, there are also food and annual salaries that accompany the title. The earl's food town is in Huainan. It's not big, the size of a village, and the annual salary is not much, 10,000 taels of silver a year.

However, the general knight either made a significant contribution to Daqi, or returned to the princess's concubine, or married a relative of a member of the royal family. The phenomenon of people like Xiao Tai and others who were "borrowed" and then "borrowed" came back alive is still unique.

So this clean-up first took down Xiao Taiji's title.

Xiao Tai and this earl position. It's only been a little over a year. was beaten back to its original form.

The people in the palace are all red and white.

Seeing Xiao Shiji return, His Majesty's holy grace returned to Xiao Shiji, and Xiao Shiji moved out of the Earl's Court and took his two children back to his old mansion. Ignore that brother. Everyone knows the relationship between the Xiao family brothers. That's a bit of a problem......

However, the Earl's Court was gone, and Xiao Tai and the others had to find a place to live. Long Xiangye is Xiao Shiji's mother-in-law. She took the big car and took Xiao Tai and the family with her. Return to the Xiao family's old house.

Xiao Shihe excused himself to go out on an errand and did not go back to Prince Yi's mansion.

The subordinates of the Xiao family got Xiao Yi's advice, and only said that the Hou Ye was not at home, and they did not dare to be self-dictatorated. Even if the old lady comes, she will have to wait for the Hou Ye to come back before speaking.

Long Xiangye was so angry that he said angrily: "I am his mother!" He dared not let me in, it was a big unfilial piety! Even in front of His Majesty, he ignored it! ”

Chen Yuejiao was worried that it would make this matter stiff, and it would not end well in the future. As Chen Yuejiao, she knows Xiao Shiji's temper very well, not only stubborn, but also stubborn. It seemed gentle and harmless, but if it really annoyed him, he would do anything.

Thinking of the methods he used to deal with An Zichang in the previous life, Chen Yuejiao couldn't help but shudder, and gently pulled Long Xiangye's arm and persuaded: "Mother, let's go to the courtyard of the second brother next door to live first." It's not a problem to stand here all the time. ”

Long Xiangye didn't believe in this evil, and said with a stalk around his neck: "I'm his mother!" He dares to be unfilial......"

Chen Yuejiao was so anxious that she hurriedly covered Long Xiangye's mouth and begged bitterly: "Mother, you can't talk nonsense. If it really makes people hear it, thinking that Hou Ye is not filial, and it spreads to the palace, so that Hou Ye is declared by His Majesty, wouldn't it be the relatives and enemies to be happy? Besides, Hou Ye has always eaten soft and not hard, and his mother made Hou Ye suffer a big loss, but Hou Ye was angry and simply sat down to confirm this reputation, what should you do? Saying that, Chen Yuejiao wiped her tears, "I don't care, as long as I can serve my mother, Master Hou can recognize me or not." But mother, you are the mother of the Hou Ye. - Hou Ye doesn't say it in his mouth, but he respects you the most in his heart......

Although Long Xiangye didn't believe much in these words, he said them tactfully and tortuously, not only to save face for Xiao Shihe, but also to save face for Long Xiangye, so that she just got off the donkey, and said angrily: "Okay, I'll just look at my daughter-in-law's sake, don't follow this...... The son is calculating. Let's go to the courtyard next to it. ”

In the courtyard where Xiao Tai lived before, Guan Yunlian died of a violent illness there, and Du Hengshuang also became seriously ill there and moved to Zhuangzi in the suburbs, but he was killed in the last death.

Many people say that the feng shui of that yard is not good and cannot be inhabited.

Before Xiao Taiji could speak, Long Shuzhi was the first to get scared, pulled Long Xiangye's arm and said, "Mother, there are no people there." Let's find another place to live. ”

Long Xiangye thought about it, thinking that Guan Yunlian died of a violent illness, and Du Hengshuang's death was also from there, and he was also a little scared, so he said: "If you don't live there, then where do you live?" ”

Xiao Taiji had no choice but to say: "Mother, when the family was separated, I also divided some silver and bought a house in Xinchangfang, let's go over and live for a few days." "He didn't dare to live in the courtyard he used to live in, let alone Long Shuzhi.

Long Xiangye couldn't, so he had to follow Xiao Taiji and Long Shuzhi into the car.

Long Shuzhi said to Chen Yuejiao with a smile: "Sister-in-law, we have a narrow place there, my mother lives in the main house, so we can only live in the wing room, sister-in-law and in-law's wife, but we can't live there." ”

Chen Yuejiao didn't want to follow Xiao Tai and them to live in a small house, and when she heard this, she just smiled and said, "I know." It's just a pity that your big house here is empty for nothing, so can you lend it to me and my mother for a few days? When the uncle comes back, he will naturally let us go back to the old house to live. ”

Chen Yuejiao said this, Xiao Taiji was moved again.

How did he not know how to say that if he stayed far away this time, it would be troublesome to come back in the future. The eldest brother will really leave them alone.

It's better to endure it, or live closer. It's better to work hard to grind the eldest brother back to his mind, treat them as a family again, and take their family to live in the Hou Mansion when the time comes, that's the life of a person......

Xiao Taiji changed his mind and said to Long Shuzhi, "What did you say?" Let's stay here. Although this place is a little more desolate, but at the beginning, I also invited a monk to practice, and I overtook the undead, and there is nothing to do, so let's stay for a few days. Wait for the big brother to come back. Let's go back to the old house with this mother and sister-in-law. Isn't it all four? ”

Long Xiangye was originally a person who didn't have much ideas, but when she heard people say that it was good, she also thought it was good. Hearing that this is good, she also thinks it's okay.

So now I understand the meaning of Chen Yuejiao and Xiao Taiji's words. He also said, "That's it." Let's not stay too far. Instead, it was rusty. The family should be intimate and affectionate. ”

After a few words, Chen Yuejiao said that the second room of the Xiao family changed their minds and went back to their previous house.

It's a bit desolate inside, though. But they brought a lot of people, so they quickly assigned to clean it, and they were able to stay.

Long Xiangye specially looked for Xiao Taiji to talk to him and persuaded him: "...... Hurry up and return those shops to your big brother. It's not that I'm talking about you, you didn't say a few words to your eldest brother when he came back. Before, I thought that your earl position would be kept, so there was no squeak. Now that your title is gone, and you still occupy your eldest brother's wealth, do you think you can keep it? ”

Xiao Tai and the shop in his hand have only been covered for a year, and they haven't been covered yet, so they are very distressed when they hear it, but no matter how distressed they are, they also know that he may not be able to keep these properties now.

Originally, he still wanted to have the crown prince's support. But since the eldest brother came back, the prince has avoided him, this time he was robbed of the title, the prince didn't even dare to let out a fart, but when he saw his eldest brother, he was kind and pleasant, and he didn't take him seriously at all.

Xiao Tai and the prince of Zhilu Dao were probably unreliable, and they were indignant that the eldest brother could not only be valued by the prince, but also the confidant of Prince Yi, and now after listening to Long Xiangye's words, his heart was even more uncomfortable, and he said dissatisfiedly: "Why did my mother say that? My mother also knew that this was originally my Xiao family's property, I originally said that only three achievements were enough, but now it seems that I have a lot of people in my family and a lot of expenses, so I still have to get half of it to support my family. - Mother, you can help tell the eldest brother that I will return half of his property, okay? ”

Actually, it should be a quarter. Because the real half has already been dedicated to the crown prince by him. What was left in his hands was only half of his previous property. He kept half of it, and what he returned to Xiao Shiji was only a quarter of his former property.

Although Long Xiangye felt that it was inappropriate, she couldn't help Xiao Taihe kept begging, and she felt sorry for this little son who had just been an earl for a year and was taken away, it was really a shame and a shame, Xiao Shiji was the eldest brother, and now not only the marquis, but also the real power of the second grade, he has so many rewards, shouldn't he be counted as a little silver, right?

Besides, my brother's life is so prosperous, shouldn't I subsidize my younger brother?

You can't eat meat for your brother, and your brother can't even drink soup, right?

Thinking about it like this, Long Xiangye felt justified again, and said to Xiao Taiji: "Half is half, you just remember it." ”

Xiao Tai happily went to the outer courtyard to resettle the accounts.

Xiao Shiji hid outside for a few days before coming back, but saw that the courtyard next to him had fireworks and cheered popularity, and when he asked, he realized that Xiao Tai and his party did not live in the house they had purchased outside, but still lived in the small mansion that they used to live in the wall away from the Xiao family's mansion.

Xiao Shiji didn't speak, and when he got home, it was already the time to hold the lamp.

He had dinner at Prince Yi's mansion, and when he came back, he went directly to the two children's rooms to take a look.

Xiao Yanran had just come out of the house of two children. She moved out of the Earl's Court early in the morning and lived with Xiao Shiji, helping him take care of the two children by the way.

Xiao Shiji did not admit Chen Yuejiao, and of course Chen Yuejiao was not allowed to come and live with him. And the child was completely let by his subordinates, and he was not at ease.

He himself was so busy every day that he could only come to see his two children after they had fallen asleep.

It has been more than ten days since he came back, and every time he returned to his and Du Hengshuang's previous bedroom, he felt uncomfortable and couldn't sleep all night long.

Later, he saw that Sister An was born more and more like Du Hengshuang, from staring happily every day at the beginning, to now being so painful that he refused to see her, he didn't know that he could miss Du Hengshuang to such an extent.

Ou Yangniang and Zhishu are subordinates in the end, and Xiao Shiji is the male master, so they can't persuade too diligently, so they can only see Xiao Shiji's face becoming more and more gloomy, and his temperament is becoming more and more irritable.

When he came out, he saw a open-carved red sandalwood inlaid white jade poem with a palace lamp on the small standing table next to the bed, and a beautiful woman was painted on the lamp, sitting on the bed, holding a scroll, reading tirelessly.

On the four white jade lantern screens of the palace lamp, a sentence is engraved on each side:

"Smoke cage cold water moon veil,

Knock on the chess pieces and drop the lanterns.

Gambling books are spilled with the fragrance of tea,

At that time, it was just ordinary."

Xiao Shiji inadvertently saw this sentence engraved on the palace lamp, and couldn't help but be stupid.

He remembered the night when they got married, Du Hengshuang was holding a scroll, reclining in front of the bed and reading a book, and there was also this white jade palace lamp next to the bed, just like the beauty painted on this palace lamp. No, Frost is much more beautiful than her......

At that time, it was just ordinary.

If he knew that the Dao would be such a result, would he still leave Du Hengshuang and always wanted to win wealth and fame?

If he had known in advance that the price of his fame would be the separation of his wife, would he have done so?

The wine in the world is hard to relieve the depression in my chest.

He got his wish and sat in a very high position, but when he came back after he became famous, the person he wanted to share with the most was gone......

Xiao Shiji trembled and stretched out his hand, picked up the white jade palace lamp, blew out the candles inside, and sat on the edge of the bed.

This night, he held the palace lamp and did not let go.

……

It is said that on that day, Uncle Zhuang came to Xiao's house and found Uncle Qian, of course, Uncle Qian immediately left Xiao's house with him and came to the grange in the suburbs.

Qian Bo's status in the Xiao family is transcendent, Xiao Yi, the chief administrator of the outer courtyard, knows that he is the person who can be used by the old young lady, and now the Hou Ye spoke again, saying that when the little young master is five years old, he will follow Qian Bo to learn kung fu, so he respects him for three points.

Qian Bo is free to enter and exit the Xiao family, and he doesn't have to reciprocate with anyone.

And he often left the Xiao family and went back to the Du family's old house to live for a few days.

So this time, Qian Bo followed Zhuang Bo out of Chang'an City, and no one in the Xiao family noticed anything unusual.

followed Uncle Zhuang to the Grange and saw the living Du Hengshuang, Qian Bo understood what was going on, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak, even happier than when Du Xiancheng came back alive at that time.

"Miss, you can come back, hurry up and go back with me, our family will send you!" Qian Bo wiped his tears and hurriedly urged.

Du Hengshuang smiled: "Don't worry. I have one more thing I'd like to ask Chambers to do. - Please don't speak out for a while. When the time comes, I'll go back. ”

Qian Bo hurriedly patted his chest and said, "Miss, please speak!" ”

Du Hengshuang said in a low voice: "I want Qian Bo to help me check on a person to see if she has placed Zhuangzi in this suburb." ”

"Who?" Chambermo asked, clapping his fists.

"Chen Yuejiao."
