Du Hengshuang waited in the flower hall in the inner courtyard for a long time, but no one came.

She sent several people to the outer courtyard to inquire, and they all said that they would wait.

The last time, Xu Yanbang directly sent someone over and said that Xu Shao was tired and wanted to go back to the guest house to rest, and asked her to help send some porridge over.

Du Hengshuang felt that something was wrong.

"Go and send the old fire porridge stewed in the kitchen to Lord Xu, and send some more side dishes with porridge." Du Hengshuang stood up as he commanded.

In order for Xu Shao to come as a guest this time, she also specially called Lu Erlang to come over to accompany her.

Now I've been waiting for a long time, but the main owner can't come.

Du Hengshuang was very guilty, and said to Lu Erlang very apologetically: "Erlang, I'm really embarrassed. Master Xu thinks he's tired, so he can't talk about it this time......"

Lu Erlang understood, and said with a smile: "What is this?" Lord Xu came from afar, so he should have a good life and recuperate. However, since this dish is on the table, my sister-in-law doesn't mind if we eat it ourselves, right? ”

Du Hengshuang smiled and said busily: "That's nature." As he spoke, he called Xiao Yanran over from the seat behind the screen and said, "Come and accompany Erlang to dinner." ”

Du Hengxue also walked out from behind the screen, and after giving Lu Erlang a salute, she asked Du Hengshuang: "Sister, where is Yanbang?" Didn't he come back either? ”

Xu Shao entered the Jiedu Embassy in the afternoon, and actually sat in Xiao Shiji's outer study for an afternoon.

Everyone in the room was wondering what was going on, but no one said anything.

Du Hengshuang paused and said, "Yan Bang should come." Wait a minute, eat yourselves. None of us are outsiders. I'm going to see what happened to Grandpa Guo. As he spoke, he called Brother Yang over again, "Accompany your aunt, uncle, aunt, and uncle to have a drink." ”

Brother Yang responded with a smile, and called Brother Cheng and Brother Xin over to eat at the table together.

Brother Yang has a cheerful personality and is the most lively atmosphere. Soon the flower hall was lively.

Du Hengshuang put on a thin coat, ordered someone to hold the lamp in front, walked out of the gate of the flower hall, and went to the second door.

Just out of the second door. She ran into Xu Yanbang who came from the outer courtyard.

"Lord Xu is fine, right? Do you want to ask Lang Zhong to take a look? Du Hengshuang hurriedly asked.

Xu Yanbang shook his head. He said with a relaxed face: "No need." Uncle has just changed his clothes, and now he is eating porridge, and he will rest after eating, and he will come back tomorrow to talk to you. ”

"We're not in a hurry. It's good that Lord Xu doesn't have anything to do. Du Hengshuang nodded. Turning back and pointing in the direction of the inner courtyard. "They're all eating in the flower hall, so go ahead. Cher was in a hurry. ”

Xu Yanbang hurriedly responded and left in a hurry.

Du Hengshuang went to the outer courtyard to see Xiao Shiji.

After Xu Shao left. Xiao Shiji went to the bathroom and washed his face. From the mirror in the bath, he saw that his eyes were red and swollen, and he couldn't see anyone for a while, so he had to stay in the bath room for a while, and only when Xu Yanbang and Xu Shao were gone did he come out of the bath.

Sitting back on the Taishi chair behind the bookcase, Xiao Shiji sighed, turned out the table lamp on the bookcase, and immersed himself in darkness, recalling what Xu Shao had just said to him.

He remembered that when he was a child in Chang'an, his father was still alive and the head of the family. No matter what troubles are there, as long as they are in the hands of Dad, they can be simplified. It seems that nothing can stump Daddy.

Under the support of his father, he spent a carefree childhood and adolescence.

At that time, whenever it was almost winter, my father would carefully prepare good silver frost charcoal for the family, and he would also think of the Du family, and not forget to send them a few trucks of silver frost charcoal.

My father-in-law has always been a bold person. Daddy gave him silver charcoal, and he would bring them a cart full of good skins, all mink, silver rats, and big hairs, and sometimes rare red fox skins.

When it comes to the Chinese New Year, the two families often celebrate the New Year together.

Little Shuang'er was dressed like a little Fu doll, caged with mink hand, wearing a mink cloak, and delicate mink boots on her feet, nestled in her father-in-law's arms, always looking at him with big eyes and smiling. He smiled back, and Frost felt embarrassed again, blushed her cheeks, and stuck her head into her father's arms, no longer looking at him. Then when he wasn't paying attention, he secretly turned his head to look at him.

He didn't want to be ashamed of her, and tried his best not to look at her, but in fact, his heart was stuffed with something, and although it was heavy, it was joy. The little boy didn't understand how difficult and dangerous the road ahead was, and felt that as long as he was accompanied by her smile, no matter how difficult and difficult it was, he would be happy.

If it weren't for that flying disaster, the road between him and Du Hengshuang would not be what it is now.

From a certain point of view, if his father Xiao Xiangsheng was still alive, Xiao Shiji would never have been able to climb to such a high position.

But he just wants to use everything he has now to exchange for the life of his father Xiao Xiangsheng, so that their family can live to their old age in a happy life.

It wasn't until this day that he really understood what Du Xiancheng meant by what he said to him that time.

"The best place in the world is your own home. As long as the family is together, even if you are in hell, it is better than heaven. ”

"There is nothing more important in this world than your beloved wife and children. If you feel like there's something more important, it's because you haven't tasted loss yet. ”

Although many years had passed, he thought that he had already understood those words, but only now did he really know what those words meant.

Xiao Shiji smiled in the dark.

Du Hengshuang gently pushed open the door of the study, and the light on the cloister tilted into the dark study.

Du Hengshuang saw Xiao Shi and a person sitting quietly behind the bookcase, their tall figures like black panthers lurking in the forest.

"It's dark, why don't you hold the lamp?" Du Hengshuang said lightly, carrying a food box in his hand, and walked in slowly.

Xiao Shiji leaned forward, took the flint, and lit the lamp on the desk on the bookcase.

Du Hengshuang caught a glimpse of Xiao Shihe's eyes and was slightly surprised.

Putting down the food box in his hand, Du Hengshuang took out the food inside and put it on the bookcase.

"Hungry or not? Let's eat together. Du Hengshuang handed a pair of chopsticks to Xiao Shiji.

Xiao Shiji held the chopsticks and held her hand at the same time.

The warm big hand held Du Hengshuang's small hand inside. Extra ironing.

"What's wrong with you?" Du Hengshuang quietly broke away from his wrist and stuffed the chopsticks into Xiao Shiji's hand.

Xiao Shiji took the chopsticks, picked up the rice bowl, and ate it in a big gulp.

Du Hengshuang only ate a few chopsticks and put them down, holding a bowl of soup and drinking it slowly.

Xiao Shiji ate four large bowls of rice in one go, then put down the dishes and chopsticks with satisfaction, drank a bowl of mouthwash tea, and said with a smile: "It's really refreshing." Who said just drinking alcohol is refreshing? I think eating is the most refreshing. ”

Du Hengshuang was speechless, lowered his head and took those dishes and chopsticks back to the food box, and carried them to the door to hand them to a mother-in-law. He instructed: "Go to the inner courtyard and tell Zhishu." Let her go on a night watch, and I'll go back later. ”

The woman answered, and went to cook by herself.

Du Hengshuang returned to the study and gently closed the door. Lean your back against the door. looked at Xiao Shiji and said, "What's wrong with you?" What did you say to Lord Xu? ”

Xiao Shiji closed his eyes. Leaned back on the back of the Taishi's chair and whispered, "...... Something about my dad. ”

"Your father?" Du Hengshuang was surprised, "Uncle Xiao? Isn't he ......? "Have you already succumbed to death in the black prison of the former Great Zhou?

Xiao Shiji nodded. Beckoning her to pass.

Du Hengshuang walked across from him and sat down, looking at him in a daze.

"My father suffered from the pond fish because he saved a person, and you also know that it was because he saved the Empress Dowager Ouyang Zi."

Du Hengshuang nodded, "We already knew this." And we also know that this matter is related to the previous Great Zhou. ”

"It's not just related to the Great Zhou of the previous dynasty, but also related to our Daqi's Wan Guifei." Xiao Shiji laughed hehehe, as if he remembered something very funny, and laughed uncontrollably.

Du Hengshuang didn't speak again, quietly waiting for him to finish laughing, "And then?" ”

Xiao Shiji told Du Hengshuang what Xu Shao said to him as it was.

Du Hengshuang suddenly changed color, and his hands were clenched into fists in his wide sleeves. She looked at Xiao Shiji nervously, "Really? It's true? ”

"Is it fake?" Xiao Shiji asked rhetorically, "This kind of thing is not a good thing, what does Xu Shao do to deduct baskets on himself?" ”

Du Hengshuang slowly calmed down. Yes, this kind of thing is not only related to Xiao Xiangsheng, but also a more important person-Ouyang Zi.

If Emperor Yonghui is allowed to know the truth of this layer, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Du Hengshuang became nervous. She wanted to persuade Xiao Shiji, but when the words came to her mouth, she didn't know whether to say it or not.

Xiao Xiangsheng is his father to Xiao Shiji.

Her father's blood feud, what position does she have to persuade him to let go?

Compare her heart to her heart, if her father Du Xiancheng suffers such a fate, even if the person behind the scenes is Xiao Shiji's relative, she will not be killed!

Xu Shao is her mother's step-husband and her half-brother Xu Yanchao's father!

Du Hengshuang struggled for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "...... This matter was done by Lord Xu's original partner. Since she has committed suicide and lost her life, I think ......"

"Hehe," Xiao Shiji laughed twice, tilting his head to look at Du Hengshuang, "Do you think that as soon as she dies, I shouldn't continue to investigate, right?" ”

Du Hengshuang heard that this was wrong, and he didn't dare to speak, and thought about it in his heart for a long time before he persuaded: "I think that there is a wrongdoer, and there is a debtor." The person who commits her own iniquity knows that she can't live, so she commits suicide early, and she is considered wise. As for the people next to him, just because of his surname Xu, he will be sat together, isn't it too ......"

Xiao Shiji stretched out a finger and shook it at Du Hengshuang, "You are wrong. You speak for the Xu family, I don't blame you. But you have to figure out one thing: I absolutely don't believe that such a big battle as chasing and killing the Empress Dowager Ouyang Zi was the handiwork of Xu Shao's original wife. ”

Du Hengshuang's right eyelid jumped, she hurriedly pressed the piece with her hand, rubbed it gently, and said softly: "She is the former county lord, maybe ......"

"You don't understand. The people who chased Ouyang Zi at the beginning, my father once told me, were not ordinary mountain bandits, but well-trained family members. ”
