The days go by quickly.

Now, as long as it is daytime, Nangong Jin tries to disguise himself as a normal person and ...... at night.

I don't know why, after knowing Xiao Ying's thoughts, I became less and less courageous to open the box, and suddenly understood Xiao Mingliang's words that day, could all this be ....... Many times, Nangong Jin just hugged the box and sat for one night.

However, he was also very busy during the day, helping Zhou Tang plant flowers and grass; To help Nangong Wan draw patterns, she also has to take her to find all kinds of different flowers, sometimes in a bookstore, sometimes in a ready-to-wear store, and sometimes in the garden to find all kinds of different flowers. Moreover, Zhou Tang seems to like to go out more and more, especially the kind that wants to live outside for two or three days. Because she wants to bring Nangong Wan, sometimes Shen Xueying will also be with her, and there are no other men in the family, so she can only be accompanied by Nangong Jin. In this way, sometimes even at night, you have to pretend that you are normal.

Zhou Tang gave him a long-term follower, only fifteen or sixteen years old, the youngest nephew of Fu's mother, and his name is also happy, called Sixi. This little Chang said casually, because when his mother gave birth to him, he wanted to eat Sixi balls very much. This sentence also made Nangong Jin smile, Xiao Chang Sui was also clever, and then asked the young master to give a name, because if the young master did not give a name, he would be laughed at by all the subordinates. Zhou Tang and Nangong Wan both laughed and coaxed, who knew that Nangong Jin didn't want to think about it, and said directly, then call it Baxi, it sounds twice as happy as Sixi.

As a result, Sixi became a more joyful Baxi, and Nangong Jin also had a long-term attendant who was responsible for serving from getting up to sleeping, which made Nangong Jin want to be abnormal at night, so he could only lie on the bed and hold the box.

Chengjun didn't pass the children's exam, which made him very shocked, and he thought that he would be caught, but this is the result. Frustrated, he returned home, ran to the West Courtyard, and told Nangong Jin that he finally understood that he was not a prodigy, and he was not smart. Nangong Jin just said to him, he once thought that everything was taken for granted, but in fact it was not. Nine times out of ten, if life is unsatisfactory, it depends on how everyone chooses. So, the two frustrated people sat depressed for a day.

Shen Xueying was in a hurry, she was afraid that Nangong Jin's depressed mood would pass over to her son. Fortunately, a day later, Chengjun returned to Fenghuayuan and decided to take the exam again, this time, he would work harder. Because since life is unsatisfactory, nine times out of ten, then he will do what he can work hard and try not to regret it.

A few days later, someone from the academy came, saying that it was to send a letter to the mountain chief Cai Mingzhuo to see Nangong Jin.

When Nangong Jin saw this person, she was startled-Zheng Shu. Although he changed his appearance and pretended to be a master who was over half a hundred years old, he was still recognized at a glance by Nangong Jin's familiarity with him.

In front of everyone, Zheng Shu explained to everyone that it was Cai Shanchang who heard that Nangong Xiaoyou was seriously ill and wanted to come to visit in person, but recently he occasionally felt cold, which was inconvenient and really worried, so he was sent to visit the patient. Nangong Jin used the excuse of writing to Mr. Cai Lao and took Zheng Shu to the study of the West Courtyard.

West Courtyard, Study. Nangong Jin opened the window and opened the door according to the rules, and Baxi quit after serving tea.

Zheng Shu looked around, straightened his face, and said in a low voice as low as possible: "Anyang is you?" ”

Nangong Jin sat at the desk with a pen, looking down and not daring to look at him.

"What's crazy?!" Zheng Shu said angrily: "It's like this again! It's done without talking? ”

"I—I didn't do anything." Nangong Jin still lowered her head, but she didn't write a word.

"Didn't do it?! Fool whom! Zheng Shu was even more angry, "With you like this?" It's a shame that your family is rich and powerful. He paused, glanced at Nangong Jin, and saw his timid appearance, and became angry again, "Anyway, your family is amazing, hand over the brand, don't do it!" ”

"No, I ......." Nangong Jin looked up at him anxiously, with a pleading face. "I, I know it's all my fault, don't."

"You're like that all the time! Again and again! What did Big Brother Luo say to you? Be calm, think twice about everything, and focus on the overall situation! What about you? In this regard, it is inferior to Luo Yunshi in this life! ”

The room fell silent. After a long time, Nangong Jin put down the pen and covered her eyes, as if trying her best not to cry.

"Crying again!" Zheng Shu was helpless and disgusted, "You're not thirteen years old." After a while, he sighed, "Have you cried enough?" Mr. Qian asked me to ask you, are you still doing it? You think it through. ”

Nangong Jin nodded desperately, let go of his hand for a while, and looked at Zheng Shu with red eyes, "Go to Tumochuan?" ”

Finally, Zheng Shu still couldn't bear it, and whispered: "Originally, yes." Now, Qiu Niang is for you. ”

"Qiu Niang? She doesn't know Bansheng very well...... I'll go." Nangong Jin was in a hurry.

Zheng Shu looked at him and shook his head, "It's okay if you don't go." If you want to cooperate with Wei Chaoge, forget it. Seeing that he seemed to want to say something, he interrupted: "However, you had better wait near the north guard station, I am worried that Qiu Niang needs you to answer." In addition, it can be regarded as an attitude to Mr. Qian, and I will explain it. ”

"Good. I will try as soon as possible. ”

"One more thing. There may be some ...... here in Duling. Zheng Shu felt very embarrassed about this, and he didn't know how to say it.

"What's wrong with him? Still in Yuwang's Mansion? Ah San didn't go with him? Nangong Jin was stunned and anxious again.

"It's okay, Ah San has been there. That is, the marriage between Princess Zhaoyang and Prince Qi is afraid that it will be yellow. It seems that this matter, heh, Du Ling doesn't know what shit luck he stepped on. Zheng Shu smiled very complicatedly, "It's nothing, just talk to you." I thought, go back and tell Master Qian that we should be partners. ”

Zheng Shu left with the letter in disbelief on Nangong Jin's face, and according to Zheng Shu's words, he didn't dare to stay in his house for long.

**********

Go to the north as soon as possible, and just talk, how to get to the north as soon as possible? Nangong Jin knew very well what the situation was now.

Li Mo didn't come back, and his eldest brother wasn't at home. According to my mother, the sword dance in Jingzhou is very lively, and it is more lively than the New Year. After all, this is also to earn favor for the Nangong family, and what Hall Master Zhao means is that it is best for Pingyang to come to someone, and it is good to go through the motions to show that he attaches great importance to it. However, the eldest brother has been gone for so long ....... By the way, there are still 33,000 taels of silver to be returned, and the eldest brother will definitely come forward to deal with it. It's just that no one seems to say where Senior Brother Li went? Where can I go?

Calm down, think twice, and focus on the overall situation! Brother Luo is always right. Yingying, will you accompany me? I'm sorry that you weren't there for you when you needed it most, but I still want you to be with you, I'm sorry for ....... I know I'll never be able to beat Brother Luo, but I'm really trying. Is it necessary to bury all the memories deep in order not to be sad? Just like back then, try to make yourself a Luoyunshi. Warbler, I know you're there.

Nangong Jin touched the red bag hanging around his neck through his clothes. What are you!

There was a soft argument outside the door, and it didn't stop after a long time. Nangong Jin opened the door and saw that Baxi and Fu's mother were still arguing in a whisper.

When Baxi saw Nangong Jin, he immediately jumped in front of him, "Young master, young master, there is someone at the gate who asks to see you." ”

Nangong Jin looked at Mother Fu, Mother Fu had a completely helpless expression, turned her head to Baxi and said, "Just let him in." ”

"But young master, my aunt said, not everyone can bring it to the house, that person can't come in. However, Baxi felt that the person was there to see the young master, and it was certain that the young master would not be able to see it. ”

"What's going on?" Nangong Jin looked at Baxi.

"That's right, young master. The man came a few days ago, had been kneeling at the gate, was driven away by the porter, and came again, saying that he wanted to see the young master. Baxi just went to see it, the man was not very old, he had a baby face, it seemed, it seemed to be with filial piety, he felt very down, and he didn't look like a Pingyang person. The porter said that there are such people every once in a while, so Baxi thought about reporting to the young master, and it should be decided by the young master if he saw it. ”

Nangong Jin waited for Baxi to finish speaking, and saw that his expression was very serious, and smiled, "Okay, since the porter won't let him in, then I'll go out and have a look." ”

Mother Fu felt that Baxi was eventful, and stepped forward to salute, "Young Master......." ”

"It's okay, it's boring in the room, just take a walk." Nangong Jin interrupted Mother Fu with a smile.

A baby-faced man of sixteen or seventeen, dressed in white linen, knelt at the main entrance. The porter seems to have rushed countless times, and this time he saw this person kneeling far away, and it didn't affect anything, so he didn't bother to rush. However, seeing Nangong Jin coming out, the porter hurriedly got up and prepared to rush.

Nangong Jin looked at him, felt a little familiar, and stopped the porter.

When the man saw Nangong Jin, he suddenly cried and kowtowed heavily, "Second son, second son, great grace, Xiao Lian must remember it in his heart!" If the second son has any dispatch, Xiao Lian will go to the soup and fire, and he will not give up! Then he bowed his head again.

Nangong Jin stopped him, "Your surname is Xiao?" ”

"Yes. My mother is not only the wet nurse of Sister Yingying, but also the second aunt. ”

Nangong Jin looked at him and asked for a while: "Then you, do you know what happened?" ”

Xiao Lian nodded, "It was Sister Yingying who handed me the token, and when I left, a group of clan elders challenged Sister Yingying and wanted to force Sister Yingying away, and my father and mother protected her." Xiao Lian cried again, "I know, I know I'm late, it's all me, it's me who killed my father and mother, Sister Yingying, ......." ”

Nangong Jin looked up at the sky, afraid that tears would flow down, took a breath, calmed down and said, "I'll tell you where they are." ”

Xiao Lian shook his head, "My father and mother said that people die and their souls are scattered, and their bodies turn into the earth, so you don't need to be deliberate." I know that my father and mother have long been one with heaven and earth. I know that if this revenge is not for the second son, it will not be avenged at all. The second son has a great kindness to Xiao Lian. ”

"I didn't do anything. Get up. ”

"Second son, Xiao Lian understands." He said that he understood, but he still knelt down.

"You are already the only heir of the Xiao family......

"Second son," Xiao Lian interrupted him, "the Xiao family is gone." "Wiping away his tears," Xiao Lian knew that his skills were low, but he would stay in Jingzhou and wait for his son to send him. As he spoke, he kowtowed again and turned to leave.

"Stay." Nangong Jin stopped him, walked over to him and whispered a few words.

Xiao Lian was stunned at first, and then looked at Nangong Jin excitedly, and immediately, he bowed to Nangong Jin in a dignified manner, and said loudly: "Yes, Xiao Lian will live up to his trust." ”

Nangong Jin smiled, took out a purse from his arms, which contained more than ten taels of silver, and handed it to Xiao Lian. "Take it."

Xiao Lian hurriedly refused.

Nangong Jin smiled: "You have to eat and sleep, take it." It doesn't matter if he picks it up or not, he simply stuffs him in his arms, doesn't say anything more, and leaves.

Xiao Lian was behind him and saluted.
