Xu He trespassed on the imperial mausoleum, and he fought again, although it did not hurt people's lives, and Liu Shi and Xie Jin, who came later, had the holy decree and the prince's warrant in hand, and they did not make things bigger, but after all, Xu He was at fault first, and he did not punish him.

Yes, under Xuanyuan Xuan's repeated pleas, the emperor made a decree, and Xu He, the Marquis of Yuancheng, despised the royal law and disturbed the imperial tomb.

"Chirp! Chirp! Chirp tweet! ”

In the Taifu Mansion, in the center of the east courtyard, a girl wearing a long gown and skirt with the same color as the purple poll in the courtyard was holding her feet, looking at the birds on the eaves, her mouth was pursed, and she was learning to call and tease the birds from time to time. This girl is not someone else, it is the girl who called him "Brother Jin'er" when Xie Jin hid in the firewood room last time - Sister Yu.

Sister Yu has a pair of slightly narrow peach blossom eyes, and the tails of her eyes are slightly curved. Right now, she was holding a leafy branch in her hand, dangling towards the birds on the eaves, and she was having a lot of fun and smiling, and her innocent and lovely two black pupils were hidden under her eyes that were now bent into two crescents.

However, Xu was because she had been learning bird calls like this, and it was a little long, which disturbed the people in the room and frowned, and without waiting for a moment, she only heard Xie Jin shouting towards Sister Yu from the house, "Sister Yu, good Sister Yu!" A-Niang called you over to eat the fruit! Go, go! ”

Sister Yu was also easy to coax, so when she heard the words, she lost the branch in her hand and ran to the next courtyard in a hurry.

Here, Xie Jin coaxed Sister Yu away. He turned over on the wide couch in the room, lying on his stomach, holding a few bamboo strips in his hand to weave the things in his hand, the shape has a general appearance, if the pink silk yarn is pasted on the top, and then there are more phosphor-coated wooden beads in the center, it is the lotus lantern that those eight- and nine-year-old girls in the streets and alleys of Yecheng can't put down. It's just that the one in Xie Jin's hand can't be bought elsewhere.

After all, for the original lie, he Xie Jin went to find a master who had studied the craft for two or three months.

While weaving the lamp body in his hand, Xie Jin glanced at Xu He beside him. He was also lying on this couch like himself. However, he had no choice but to do it, the flogging of 200 was not a joke, it was good that he didn't kill him, and he had to be unable to move for nearly three months.

Unlike Xie Jin, Xu He is practicing calligraphy. In his right hand, he held a special pen made of lead, dipped some ink from the inkstone on the side, and slowly moved it to the top of the paper in front of him. The tip of the pen fell, but it didn't wander on the paper as expected.

Since the leader of the killers who had chased and killed Xuanyuan and Xuanyuan Qi used his "eagle claws" to penetrate the pipa bones on both sides of him, Xu He's hands were left with trembling hands. When he practiced martial arts, he was fine, but when he was doing such delicate movements as writing, his hands couldn't stop trembling.

Xu He desperately tried to restrain his right hand that was shaking and holding a lead brush, and he even used his left hand to tightly grasp the wrist of his right hand, and continued to write one stroke at a time. However, his words were still writhing around on the paper like worms. In the meantime, there were still a lot of strokes where they landed, because of the trembling, the ink was directly blurred, until the end, Xu He didn't write a barely passable word.

Xie Jin sighed, stopped what he was doing, and planned to change a piece of paper for Xu He. Unexpectedly, as soon as he took Xu He's writing paper in his hand, he felt a sharp pain in his right ear.

This familiar feeling, this familiar strength, this familiar technique, who would it be if he wasn't as beautiful as a fairy and gentle as water?

"Oops!! Hurt! It hurts, it hurts! Auntie, my ears are falling out! ”

While shouting, Xie Jin was forced by the coercion of Mrs. Xie who was twisting his ears, and his whole person moved in the direction where his ears were pulled, and obediently got off the bed, and was obediently dragged by Mrs. Xie to the courtyard.

"Good boy, you know how to bully people every day, did you bully Sister Yu again just now, huh?!"

Mrs. Xie asked, one hand on her waist, but the other hand still twisted Xie Jin's ears. To say that this Xie Jin is one of the best gentlemen in Yecheng, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, he dares to catch birds in the palace and fish in the lake. But what he was most afraid of was that his mother, Mrs. Xie, would twist his ears, and this, I have to say, also followed Mrs. Xie.

"No, no, A-Niang, I'm not making lanterns for Sister Yu! How can she see it if she doesn't do a good job! Xie Jin smiled, and carefully climbed up to Mrs. Xie's hand that was still twisting his ear, and carefully put that hand down.

Hearing this, Mrs. Xie glanced into the house, and then at Sister Yu, who was sitting on the porch and eating cakes. Only then did he turn around, stretched out his index finger with his right hand, and poked Xie Jin's forehead fiercely, his eyes full of disgust for his own son's long hair that was scattered over his shoulders and untied.

"Tie up your hair! After bunching up, go over to eat the purple carrot cake, oh, by the way, there are guests coming, why don't you go quickly!! ”

Mrs. Xie said, turned around again, and smiled at Liu Shi and the others who had been standing at the gate of the east courtyard for a long time in the distance, which was not at all the appearance that taught Xie Jin just now.

"Yo! His Royal Highness King Kang is also here, I am not well prepared here, and wait for me to go to the kitchen and give an order. ”

"Where, where, it's my lord who is bothering."

Mrs. Xie made a shallow joke to Xuanyuan Qi behind Liu Shi, then retreated and walked to the other courtyard.

As soon as Mrs. Xie left, Xie Jin rushed to Liu Shi and the others like a fly, with a look of indignation, and began to point fingers.

"You, you, and you, obviously came, and they didn't stop my mother, they had to twist my ears and see if I was ugly!" Xie Jin jumped and screamed, Liu Shi and Xuanyuan Qi looked at each other, just covering their mouths and being happy.

And Wang Xiaoliang, who came together behind the two, pressed the medicine box in his hand, bowed down, poked his head out from behind the two, and only stared at the direction of the room where Xu He was, but what he paid attention to was the jade sister who was still eating purple carrot cakes one bite at a time under the corridor.

Wang Xiaoliang's probe probing his brain was naturally noticed by Xie Jin, as if he was a little taboo, Xie Jin took a big step to the left, just blocked in the middle of this line of sight.

"Sir, are you here to visit Yuan Chenghou's injuries today? Ah, he's in the middle, please. ”

As soon as he changed his arrogant and rude appearance, Xie Jin couldn't help but pull Wang Xiaoliang's sleeve and dragged him directly into the room, urging while not forgetting to turn around and exchange glances with Liu Shi.

The tacit understanding is very good, here Liu Shi took Xuanyuan Qi to sit down under the corridor together, he sat on the seat closest to the door, and just blocked the only corner where Wang Xiaoliang could glimpse Sister Yu.

Sister Yu saw that the guests came, but she was also generous, although her mouth was still stuffed with purple carrot cakes that had not yet been chewed, she also hurriedly pushed the plate with purple carrot cakes politely towards Liu Shi and Xuanyuan Qi, and picked up a piece one by one and held it in front of the two of them.

"Auntie's purple carrot cake is delicious!" Liu Shi nodded, took it with Xuanyuan Qi, and held it in his hand. Liu Shi broke his hands apart, leaned under his nose and smelled it, there was a faint smell of milk, so without waiting for him to say it, he hurriedly snatched the piece of purple carrot cake that Xuanyuan Qi was about to put into his mouth when he opened his mouth.

Xuanyuan glanced at Liu Shi stupidly, and knew that she couldn't eat this purple carrot cake.

And here, Mrs. Xie personally brought another dim sum and purple carrot cake. "I heard that His Royal Highness King Kang can't eat milk and almonds, so I made some more, and I don't know if it tastes good? His Royal Highness King Kang might as well try it? ”

As he spoke, he picked out a piece of purple carrot cake and handed it to Xuanyuan Qi. Xuanyuan Qi glanced at the purple carrot cake, then looked up at Liu Shi, saw Liu Shi nodded, so he also let go, thanked him unceremoniously, opened his mouth and bitten, and directly "bitten" the cake away from Mrs. Xie's hand.

"Ha, His Royal Highness King Kang is really informal." Mrs. Xie covered her mouth and smiled, which made Liu Shi extremely embarrassed. Xuanyuan Qi's move was like being treated badly in the palace.

After sitting for a while, Liu Shi remembered Xu He, so he went into the inner room, leaving only Xuanyuan Qi.

Having said that, Mrs. Xie's purple carrot cake is indeed a must. The noodles are mixed with purple carrot juice, the filling is taro paste with purple radish petals, the outer skin of the cake is brushed with layers of ghee egg liquid, sprinkled with a layer of flax, I don't know how Mrs. Xie was steamed in the end, in short, this purple carrot cake is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the entrance is fragrant, not greasy, but also with a little natural aroma of violet. Xuanyuan Qi and Sister Yu sat opposite each other, eating one piece after another.

Mrs. Xie saw that some people knew how to appreciate her cooking skills, so she naturally sat there with a smile on her face, looking left and right, and eating cakes.

"Oh you, look at it, His Royal Highness King Kang, they are all big children, and now they make themselves like a little flower cat, and you, Sister Yu......"

Mrs. Xie looked at Sister Yu and Xuanyuan Qi with a smile, and when she saw that the two of them had eaten a face of cake crumbs, she wiped the corners of her mouth for the two of them one by one with her fingers, and did not forget to joke.

Although she doesn't often come to Taifu's Mansion as a guest, Xuanyuan Qi is very close to Mrs. Xie, and when she saw Mrs. Xie teasing her, she also smiled back.

"I'm only seven years old this year, and Mr. Yu said that I can't be eight years old if I don't have a birthday!"

And here, Sister Yu on the side also raised her chin, holding the crumbs on the corner of her mouth, doing the same. "Auntie, I'm only nine years old this year!"

When Mrs. Xie heard this, the originally loving smile on her face condensed, she slowly raised her palm, and gently stroked the top of Sister Yu's head, in her eyes, pity, distress, unfortunately, it was complicated. After a while, Mrs. Xie sighed and took Sister Yu in her arms.

"Okay, well, our sister Yu is nine years old this year."

Xuanyuan Qi looked at the scene in front of him, probably knowing that Sister Yu was a little stupid, so he took a few pieces of purple carrot cakes, saying that he was going to take them to Xu He to taste, and then turned around and entered the house.

Coincidentally, Wang Xiaoliang changed the medicine for Xu He's wound, came out, made a gesture to Mrs. Xie and sat down.

"Sir, how is Yuan Chenghou's injury?"

Mrs. Xie coaxed Sister Yu and personally poured a cup of tea for Wang Xiaoliang.

Wang Xiaoliang thanked him again and again, telling the truth, saying that Xu He's injury was just a serious skin injury, although it was bruised, it didn't hurt his muscles and bones in the end, and it was no big deal.

Mrs. Xie nodded reassuringly, and then pushed the plate containing the pastries in front of Wang Xiaoliang. However, before she could say it, Wang Xiaoliang praised her.

"Mrs. Xie is a good craft, there are not many people who can make this kind of purple carrot cake."

Mrs. Xie was also overjoyed when she heard this, and poured another cup of tea, but in order to quench Sister Yu's thirst, she ate a few pieces of purple carrot cake in a row, and it was inevitable that her mouth was a little dry.

"Sir, I don't know where we've seen it before?"

Somehow, Mrs. Xie asked such a question, Wang Xiaoliang took a sip of tea and hurriedly went back. "Since I was a child, I lived in the northern suburbs with my father, and I often went to Daying to see doctors, and I rarely went to the city.

"Oh, is it? Heck, when you're old like me, isn't there a time to look away? Eh, can a gentleman have a wife, can he have a marriage contract? ”

Suddenly asked, Wang Xiaoliang almost squirted out the tea in his mouth.

"Hee-hee-hee!" Seeing this, Sister Yu on the side couldn't help laughing, and a pair of peach blossom eyes bent into a pair of crescents and hung under the willow eyebrows.

In fact, Mrs. Xie didn't ask unintentionally, she noticed that since Wang Xiaoliang sat down, her eyes were more or less not far from Sister Yu.

Mrs. Xie looked at Sister Yu's stupid smile, and sighed again as if she was sorry.

"Let Mr. see and smile, Sister Yu...... Call me 'Auntie'. The child's parents died unexpectedly when she was young, leaving her alone, but unfortunately a serious illness hurt her mind again...... Oh, the tea is gone, I'll go make some more, please wait here. ”

As Mrs. Xie spoke, she picked up the teapot and walked out along the side door.

At this time, Wang Xiaoliang seemed to have seized the opportunity, he cautiously looked at the few people in the room, still chatting, it didn't look like he would come out for a while, and now Mrs. Xie is also gone, in the courtyard, in addition to a few maids, there are only him and Sister Yu.

"Chirp! Chirp! The mouth turned into a whistle, and there was a fake bird call, and the thumbs of the two hands were hooked together, and the palms of the hands were fanned like bird wings, and under the bright sun, the hand shadow of Wang Xiaoliang on the blue brick immediately attracted Sister Yu's attention.

As if chasing and playing, Sister Yu was quietly taken away from the east courtyard by Wang Xiaoliang, and soon, he found a hidden corner, and the hand shadow on the ground disappeared.

Unable to help but say, Wang Xiaoliang eagerly rolled up the sleeve of Sister Yu's right arm until his elbow, where a cinnabar mole that naturally resembled a purple potholl was growing.

"Ziluo, I knew you weren't dead! Good violet! I'm your brother! I'm your brother......"

Wang Xiaoliang couldn't cry when he arrived, but Sister Yu looked ignorant, just raised a hand and wiped away Wang Xiaoliang's tears.

It's just that Wang Xiaoliang didn't know that not far away, it happened to be the study of Taifu's mansion, but coincidentally, Taifu Xie was standing in front of the window and saw this scene.

In front of Mrs. Xie there was also a paper scroll spread out, which was full of names with red marks on them. It's just that in the lower left corner of the paper scroll, there are still two people's names that are not stained with a little blood-like red marks.

As if he had seen this scene and hesitated for a long time, Mrs. Xie finally lifted the pen in his hand and ticked the cinnabar mark that should have been hooked seven years ago on the name of one of the people.

"Yu Ziluo, the daughter of the former imperial physician Yu clan, died."
