Xuan Shaoning followed behind Uncle Zhang with a leather that had not been sold, and he had already explained that even if he had something, Uncle Zhang insisted that Xuan Shaoning go to his residence to do something. After the two gradually left the temple fair, Xuan Shaoning finally spoke, "Uncle Zhang, I understand your kindness, but I have something to do at the temple fair today, and I can't explain this matter to you for the time being, and I hope you can understand." ”

Uncle Zhang was carrying a bamboo basket with some fresh eggs in it, he squinted and said with a smile: "Master Xuan, the old man doesn't know if it's appropriate to call it this way, but the old man knows why you came here today." Please also ask Xuan Gongzi to believe in the old man for the time being, follow the old man, it's been so long, His Royal Highness is no longer here, you can come back and go to my place to sit, the old woman has made a lot of dishes. ”

"Uncle Zhang, you just call me Shaoning!" Xuan Shaoning couldn't bear to refuse, even if he couldn't think of the connection between Uncle Zhang and Xie Yu, but just by relying on Uncle Zhang's loyalty and the solution just now, Xuan Shaoning knew that Uncle Zhang must have something to say to himself.

The two walked for a while, and there was a small courtyard in a remote corner far away from the Guoren District and the Government Office District, and Uncle Zhang pushed the door in and immediately shouted: "Old woman, come out and see who is coming!" ”

Sister-in-law Wang is still the one wearing an apron, running out of the house with a body of fireworks, when she saw Xuan Shaoning, she couldn't recognize it at first, and when Xuan Shaoning shouted "Sister-in-law Wang", Sister-in-law Wang showed a smile and stepped forward to hug Xuan Shaoning directly.

"Oops, I really don't recognize you dressed like this!" Sister-in-law Wang was so excited that her eyes even began to turn red, "How long has it been since this, I thought I would never see you again in this life!" ”

"Hey, what did you old woman say!" Uncle Zhang said in a reproachful tone: "It's cold outside, let go quickly, and let Shaoning enter the house quickly!" ”

Sister-in-law Wang walked into the house with Xuan Shaoning in her arms, this short stretch of the road made Xuan Shaoning feel comfortable physically and mentally, this is a feeling that only occasionally appeared more than ten years ago, the taste of being held by someone close to her has long been forgotten, I think this taste should be called happiness, right?

As soon as she entered the house, Wang's sister-in-law was busy cooking, and Uncle Zhang guided Xuan Shaoning to sit down and immediately began to pour him tea. Xuan Shaoning began to look at this small but warm room, although it was very different from the previous Yuwang Mansion, but with Uncle Zhang and Sister-in-law, a hard-working old couple, no matter where they are, they have a taste of life.

"Uncle Zhang, you just said that you know who I am looking for?" Xuan Shaoli asked immediately after taking a sip of warm tea soup.

"How dare the old man deceive people at will? You must be waiting for Xie Yu there, right? ”

Xuan Shaoning's eyes widened, and sure enough, as he expected, Xie Yu got in touch with Uncle Zhang. "Yes, Uncle Zhang, do you know where Xie Yu is?"

"Listen to the old man. About four months ago, since His Royal Highness was considered by the imperial court to be a thief who usurped the throne, the palace would be recovered, and the imperial court sent people to drive all of us out of the palace, and I took my wife to settle down here, and it didn't take long for Xie Yu to take the initiative to come to the door. He told me that someone was trying to frame His Highness and you, and it was difficult for him to find out the conspiracy behind it for a while, but he knew that he couldn't leave the capital, maybe once he left the capital, he would never have a chance to come back, and he wanted to do his best to find out the truth. ”

"Xie Yu is really too risky! So where is he now? Why didn't you show up when you agreed with me? ”

"He didn't plan to show up in the first place, and he had planned to let the old man go to meet you."

"What? Why did Xie Yu make such an arrangement? Could it be .......?"

"Just in case, Xie Yu said that once you appear in the capital, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be discovered, so he can't come out directly to contact you. The old man waited at the opposite door of the hall in the morning, until he saw you appear, and he wanted to come to see you sooner, but, "

"But someone is spying on me?"

Uncle Zhang finally nodded, Xuan Shaoning's heart immediately sank, why did he alarm the spies when he just arrived in the capital? Besides, he is still dressed as a shepherd, is it not an accident that Yang Jing appeared in front of the stall? If this is the case, then isn't Uncle Zhang in danger?

"Don't worry, it's not like no one has been here, old man, we're all used to it. I brought you here to hide from others, so let's just put on a show tomorrow morning. Zhang Bo was obviously optimistic and not worried about his situation at all.

At this moment, Sister-in-law Wang had already put pots and pots of vegetables on the table, beckoning the two of them not to chat and come to eat. These dishes are the best of Sister-in-law Wang, and Xuan Shaoning can know their taste just by smelling them. These smells have really not been smelled for too long, and the gluttonous worms in Xuan Shaoning's stomach have been completely seduced.

"Wow, if only Rouge were there at this time. By the way, how do I let them know that they're safe for the time being? Xuan Shaoning was still worried, but Uncle Zhang had already said: "Don't worry, someone has already gone to inform them." ”

"Huh?" Xuan Shaoning had to admire Uncle Zhang's ability to control the overall situation, where is this something that an old man can do!

Looking at Xuan Shaoning's surprised appearance, Uncle Zhang explained with a smile: "The old man doesn't have this ability, these things are arranged by someone else." ”

"Who?"

"You should know, you brought him into the palace in the first place, have you forgotten?"

"Jiang Weizhen!" Xuan Shaoning remembered that he still had a friend of his own in the capital, it was him, how long had it been since he had seen him, how could he get involved?

"Shaoning, no matter how many things are, there will always be a moment when they will be explained, now you don't have to guess too much, I will take you to meet them tomorrow, and you will understand when the time comes."

Sister-in-law Wang pushed the dishes and chopsticks in front of Xuan Shaoning, then pushed Uncle Zhang and said, "Okay, you old man is really chattering more than us old women!" If you don't eat it, the food will be cold! ”

Xuan Shaoning picked up the chopsticks and nodded vigorously, and immediately sent the food to his mouth. Ah, it's still this taste, this familiar taste, this is the most nostalgic taste after Leng Yuezhai, in those years in the palace, I was eating the craftsmanship of my sister-in-law, and it was really a great enjoyment of life to be able to taste it again.

Looking at Xuan Shaoning's intoxicated face, Sister-in-law Wang was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, her busy day was very worthwhile. Looking at Xuan Shaoning is like looking at his son, isn't his son's love of food the best affirmation of his mother's craftsmanship? Sister-in-law Wang couldn't help crying again, this is tears of joy, this is tears of satisfaction, and this is tears of no regrets.

Uncle Zhang watched Sister-in-law Wang's actions and pushed her with his elbow to signal her not to be too emotional, Sister-in-law Wang could only lower her head and pick up the food in her mouth, but tears still dripped on the table. It's a pity that Xuan Shaoning didn't see it, he was busy eating a lot, and it was really a long time since he had eaten a nostalgic dinner after so many days of tossing.

"Shaoning, my wife has made a lot of dishes today, if you like it, eat more, don't save it and don't waste it." Uncle Zhang is really like picking vegetables for his son, Xuan Shaoning nodded while also sandwiching the dishes into the bowl of Uncle Zhang and Sister-in-law, if someone else sees it, this is really a happy scene of family reunion.

Uncle Zhang didn't eat a few bites of food himself, he looked at Xuan Shaoning all the time like Sister-in-law Wang, and his eyes were really the same as looking at his son. "Shaoning, the old man has something to tell you, tomorrow morning in order to avoid those eyes, we have to put on a show."

Xuan Shaoning looked at Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang lowered his voice and poured out all his calculations, Xuan Shaoning also had to admire Uncle Zhang's plan, so he nodded again and again.

"Shaoning, will you stay here tonight?"

"Okay, okay, since Jiang Weizhen has already been notified by the inn, then I don't have any worries." Xuan Shaoning held his bulging belly, burping, and even had some trouble speaking.

This night, in order to consume food and catch up with Uncle Zhang and Sister-in-law Wang, Xuan Shaoning carefully told them everything that had happened in the past year. And the two old men seemed to have returned to their childhood, listening to Xuan Shaoning's stories like two children, they occasionally interrupted their speeches to put forward their own ideas, and Xuan Shaoning explained them one by one, and this night he had completely told everything about the year, and even Xuan Shaoning himself didn't know how he slept through.

Rouge stood in front of the window and looked at the night outside, this was the first time she came to the capital of Daliang, but she was not lost in the prosperity of the imperial capital, her focus has always been on Xuan Shaoning, since he left, she was concerned, until someone came to inform them that Xuan Shaoning would not come back tonight but could ensure safety, Duan Lang and Shen Ming were relieved, but she couldn't do it.

Rouge's eyes wanted to find Xuan Shaoning's figure through the thick night, and it was good to be able to look at him before falling asleep, so she had to see it with her own eyes, but unfortunately she really didn't know where Xuan Shaoning was, so she could only pray that the night would pass sooner, and the sun would show her face earlier tomorrow morning, so that she could see him again.

It was an ordinary night, but for some it was anything but ordinary.
