Chapter 387: Confidant, Determination

Officials don't need to be high, just enough; The house doesn't need to be big, just enough to live; You don't need to have many friends, just righteousness. The principles of life have always been simple and practical, so even if he seems to be able to talk to everyone in a group of Hanlin Shuji, his real friend is still only Xia Ji, but he doesn't think there is anything wrong with this kind of day. Now that he has chosen the head of the military department, he concentrates on doing his own thing, and most of the rest of his leisure time is spent on Fang Rui.

lived in someone's house for free, so he should naturally teach that sensible little guy well!

At this time, Wan Shijie, who had not yet turned into this alley, heard Fang Rui's familiar shouting at first glance, thinking that something had happened at home, and immediately quickened his pace. When he came to the door, he only glanced at the black oil carriage in front of the door, and then rushed into the courtyard in three steps and two steps, seeing that Fang Rui's little face was flushed, and he was trying to break free of his arm from a man in Tsing Yi, he couldn't help but shout angrily: "Trespassing on a house in broad daylight, and doing something to a child, what do you want to do!" ”

"Brother Wan!"

As soon as Fang Rui saw Wan Shi Jie, his face was full of joy, and he hurriedly ran straight over, grabbing Wan Shi Jie's right arm, and then he felt a little more settled. Seeing Wan Shijie looking at the person who slowly turned around over there, his face was full of sudden realization, and he hurriedly explained in a low voice: "The eldest brother suddenly came to the door and said that he asked me to tidy up my things and go with him, but ...... But I don't want to! ”

At first, seeing Fang Jing's attitude, Fang Rui still felt that he might be confused when he was young, however, when he saw his dear brother actually holding someone else's hand with a face full of trust, and he actually said so bluntly that he didn't want to, his right hand, which was originally stretched out to grab Fang Jing, suddenly stopped there, and the whole person froze. Seeing Wan Shijie graciously holding Fang Jing in his arms, his hand couldn't help but gradually droop, and then he suddenly laughed.

"Good, good! I can't imagine that my brother doesn't even want me anymore...... Xiao Jing, since you like to live such a day, then I will not come again in the future, you take care of yourself, just as if there is no brother like me. ”

Wan Shijie patted Fang Jing's shoulder affectionately, and when he heard this, he hurriedly looked up, but saw that Fang Rui had already passed by in stride, and walked towards the gate without looking back. Glancing down at Fang Jing, seeing that his face was full of confusion, he immediately reacted, and shouted at the thin and lonely back: "Fang Rui, you stop for me!" ”

"If you want to come, come here, leave if you want to go, one moment you say you want to take Xiao Jing away, and another time you say that he will only be your brother in the future, what do you think of him! It is now, and it was at the beginning, you have always done things on your own, when did you consider your younger brother! If you really thought about your younger brother at the beginning, you should explain the reason clearly when you went to the British Mansion to join your family, a manly man, don't you even dare to tell the truth? ”

Seeing that Brother Wan, who was so casual about talking and laughing on weekdays, had such a big temper, Fang Jing was stunned for a moment, and the hand that was holding the sleeve gradually loosened. However, at this moment, Wan Shijie didn't notice this at all, and he even took three steps forward in a row, and his voice was raised by three points.

"At that time, you could still say that you had to suffer a big change, and then Xiao Jing moved out, and you still came to see him, and you still looked like a brother. However, you know how to send clothes and food, why don't you know to talk to him well, why don't you know what is going on in his heart? Although he is only fourteen years old, he is already sensible, do you know that he often yells at his eldest brother at night not to leave, do you know that he often tells us how good his eldest brother is, and do you know that the most worried thing in his heart is you, the eldest brother? You suddenly ran over and asked him to go with you, and you didn't say a word, how did you let him go with you, how can you let us trust you! Xiao Jing is not your brother alone, he is also our brother! ”

"Brother Wan said it well, I finished everything I wanted to say!"

Wan Shijie vented all the words that had been depressed in his heart for a long time in one breath, and he was feeling very happy, and he couldn't help but look up when he heard this. found that it was Xia Ji, who was dressed in a cyan official robe, didn't know when he came back, and he just blocked the gate of the courtyard tightly, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy about the tacit understanding between the two. Turning his head to look at Fang Jing behind him, he dragged the little guy with red eyes over and reprimanded him angrily.

"It's useless, the man doesn't flick when he has tears, how did Xiao Xia and I teach you? Hurry up, go up and ask your eldest brother for an explanation! ”

Fang Rui, who was speechless, saw Fang Jing rushing forward, and couldn't help but instinctively grab him, his head blank. was able to go from nothing to today, although he relied on an obsession, but a large part of the reason was for his younger brother who depended on each other. However, if it is really according to what he just said, what has he done for his brother? He had left his younger brother with others for more than two years, and just now he had the luxury of expecting Fang Jing to go with him...... It's a great blessing that the little guy didn't disown him!

"Little brother, big brother is just unwilling. I am not willing to let others sit and enjoy glory and wealth, but our brothers don't even have a place to live. Big brother has never wanted to leave you, I just want to do something to make people look amazing in the future......"

Seeing that the brothers finally began to exchange sincere words, Wan Shijie finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he was not happy to stand in the way of things. Quietly walking to the gate of the courtyard, he gently pulled Shaji, and the two came to the carriage outside, and accosted the coachman, intentionally or unintentionally. After learning that the other party was just hired by the carriage and horse dealership, Wan Shijie still refused to dispel the idea of finding the bottom of the matter, but Xia Ji was afraid that he would lose face with his mouth, so he pulled the person to the other side of the wall.

Because the emperor dropped out of the dynasty, the few things in the yamen of the various ministries and courtyards were dispersed early, so Xia Ji also came back early, at this moment, he didn't bother to listen to what the brothers said, but asked solemnly: "Brother Wan, you scolded happily just now, and I also felt happy, but when I came back to talk about Jiangnan during the Yuan Festival, it can be seen that Xiao Jing's eldest brother is not a good deal." If he continues to be so wrong, won't he have to hurt his brother? ”

"I'm just scared of that!" Even if it is as unruly as the Wanshi Festival, it feels extremely tricky at this time, and he can't help but sigh, "Let's hide it from Xiao Jing, we just don't want him to worry about his brother all day long." He encountered so many things at such a young age, and it was not easy for him to settle down...... But now his eldest brother ran out to take him away! Of course, I also want to scold people directly, and it's best not to let this guy come to the door in the future, but after all, people are flesh and blood brothers, and I can't bear it. ”

"Well, I can't bear it."

Two confidant brothers who have lived under the same roof for three years look at me, and finally smile bitterly at the same time. The emperor can't say that he doesn't pay attention to the Hanlin Shujishi, they have been in the Hanlin Academy for nearly three years, and their knowledge and so on have also grown a lot - but against some people, learning or anything doesn't work. It's like Wan Shijie, although he is in the same military department, but in the face of Zhang Yue's new errand, not only can he not help with anything, but he is sent around by his boss with various trivial things. Although he didn't have the heart to climb up, this situation of not being able to use his strength made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

"I just hope that Fang Rui can know what he is doing, and don't bother such a cute little guy! By the way, then again, we live under the same roof as Xiao Jing, if something happens, do we have to carry it together? No, this guy must not be let go today, we are happy to carry the black pot to Xiao Jing, I won't do it if I change someone else! ”

Seeing that Wan Shijie rushed into the courtyard gate again, Xia Ji suddenly patted his head angrily, and then followed in. I really don't know if Wanshijie is really confused or fake, this kind of thing has not been thought of until now?

Zhang Yue easily escaped the first pass in the morning with the help of Haishou, followed by the second pass of Zhu Di's place without danger, and the next time was to let Zhou Bailing mix 3,000 people per 100 households according to the emperor's instructions, and let them guard the Donghua Gate, Xihua Gate, Xuanwu Gate and Wumen Gate one by one. These 3,000 people suddenly changed from defending the imperial city to guarding the palace city, and the officials who had not yet left the inner court naturally felt an inexplicable fear, and Yang Rong even went straight to the general administration.

"Isn't there any news from the East Palace?"

"Beizhili reported urgently in the morning, because of the heavy snowfall last night, it is difficult to walk on the official road post road at the moment, and the canal will not be able to sail for about three or four days, and the East Palace only sent someone to report an urgent letter yesterday morning, and it should not be possible to send a messenger so quickly today."

"Let the states and counties of Beizhili send more manpower, and we can't let the people in the capital become deaf and can't hear anything!"

Although it was evening, the food stalls along the wall at the back gate of Mengfu in Fengsheng Hutong were doing brisk business, and from time to time there were people from inside who came out to buy some pastries and snacks and other things. When the two elderly servants entered the door with a plate of square cakes each, they happened to bump into a young girl wearing a blue satin jacket with three buns on her head coming out of it, and hurriedly called out to Miss Cuimo, and waited until someone nodded and passed by her side, and one of them muttered.

"Not long after she came, the fourth lady got the red sleeves to marry, the red sleeves cried and begged for a long time, but they shouldn't be, and I don't know how to pluck it, it's really a good way!"

Cui Mo didn't care what others said, and after going out and looking left and right for a while, he saw a middle-aged man with a big cotton jacket at the end of the snack stall, and hurriedly rushed forward. When she saw the man's face clearly, she was suddenly surprised and delighted, and blurted out: "Dad, it's really you!" ”

In the past three years, he has eaten, lived and worked in Anyang Palace, and his reasoning life is much more comfortable than outside, but Kang Laosan looks older than the prisoner who lost the crime back then. Looking at his daughter's ruddy face, he felt quite relieved: "I happened to take an errand this time, so I can come to see you quietly." Cui'er, how are you here? ”

"Okay." Cui Mo nodded vigorously, revealing two cute little dimples on her cheeks, "Miss treats me very well, I feel very comfortable here." Daddy, although Miss believes me, she can't control Lord Meng's affairs, and you and your mother are in the palace, I really don't worry, mother...... Is my mother okay? ”

"You're so decent! Silly girl, you just have to do your own thing, follow your heart, and don't worry about the rest! Follow Miss Meng Si well, listen to her words, the sky is falling, there are tall people on top, remember, don't be reckless! ”

Kang Laosan instructed his daughter earnestly, and left her to talk more, and immediately urged her to go back. Seeing Cui Mo reluctantly disappearing through the back door, his kind face just now suddenly disappeared. His wife died of an inexplicable illness, and he could only watch the corpse buried in the ground, and he didn't even dare to say it to his daughter...... Knowing this, he would rather be a death row prisoner to repair the city wall than sign a death contract to enter the palace!

He glanced slowly to the side, and the middle-aged man who was waiting impatiently a few steps away suddenly straightened his face, and scolded angrily: "Kang Laosan, we have taken on a lot of responsibilities for you to go and see your daughter, you have been delayed for so long, if you let the Chitose Lord know, you still have to pick our skin?" You bastard, don't die, we don't want to go back and be beaten up! ”

As before, Kang Laosan smiled and thanked him, and then took out a string of copper coins from his sleeve. Seeing this, the man who was scolding endlessly just now suddenly stopped, grabbed it and pushed it into his waist, and then waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, I'll settle this trip for you!" Let's go, the old horse outside has been waiting for a while, and it will be really troublesome if it's too late! ”

The carriage stopped on the street at the entrance of the alley, and the middle-aged man came straight to the car, bent his waist and divided the money with the other party, and immediately waved his hand at Kang Laosan. Kang Laosan hurriedly quickened his pace and climbed up from the back compartment, and lowered the curtain again. The cramped carriage was filled with large boxes, and there was only a tiny space for a seat. Squeezed into that small space, he listened to the extremely unbearable words of the two car drivers outside, and a miserable smile gradually appeared on his face. No one thought he knew what was in the wagon, but he did. But even so, he couldn't tell anyone, and he couldn't spread any news.

From beginning to end, he was stared at.

Listening to the turning of the wheels of the carriage outside, trying to discern the direction, until in the dark carriage, it felt that the carriage should be far away from the range of the Meng family, and there seemed to be no human voices around, Kang Laosan took out something from his arms fiercely, took a deep breath, and slammed it on a box.

Boom –

The two people who were driving the car outside didn't pay attention to what happened to Kang Laosan in the carriage, and when they heard the loud explosion, they didn't even have time to react, and they were swallowed up by the violent explosion at once.
