The commotion on the street of the lamp market gradually stopped, and although there were still many people pointing and watching the excitement under the alternative lamp tower of the Wuying Pavilion, most of them had already followed the flow of people to look at the lights elsewhere.

Diagonally opposite Chaoyun Tower, in the partition box on the third floor of a restaurant that is also in the same good market, but the grade is slightly inferior, the little fat man looked at the red finger prints pinched out on his wrist with some grievances, glanced at Xiao Jingxian with resentment, and whispered.

"Uncle, I'm not a Qianqiu, how can I jump off without self-esteem? Besides, it's his family's business, not mine. ”

"Oh? Who was gritting his teeth and empathizing with him just now, and almost rushed down the staircase? Who was so excited when Yue Qianqiu hit someone that he seemed to be beating someone, punching left and right, and still chanting words in his mouth? ”

Xiao Jingxian said this slowly, and when he saw that the little fat man's face was already crimson, he laughed, and then said lightly: "I know, when you were in the Xuandao Hall before, you endured and endured, and there was no place to express that resentment." If I didn't stop you just now, and let you rush down and punch and kick out a breath of resentment, you would actually be more comfortable. ”

When the little fat man arrived, he only felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head. He looked left and right uneasily, as if the thin wall could not offset the uneasiness in his heart at all, but fortunately, at this time, Xiao Jingxian's words dispelled his doubts.

"The reason why I chose this place is not only because it looks shabby, and there are few dignitaries and nobles who come and go, at most it is some rich people with a few money, but also because this is my private property. This box is specially made, and we can't hear anything we say unless the roof next to the left and right is the shadowy master of the Yue family. ”

Every bit of thought was said, and the little fat man was suddenly a little embarrassed. He hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "When Lin Zhining said those words before, I was indeed surprised and angry, but I fought back and forth with Qianqiu, and then my father said that the letter was fake, and I actually relieved myself." I was really angry just now because Qianqiu had a good mother for him, but I was splashed with dirty water again, and I thought ......"

The latter words, however, seemed to be stuck in his throat for a while, and he couldn't say anything. At this time, he only heard Xiao Jingxian say in a tone that was so far away that it seemed to be on the edge of the sky: "Just think of your mother who doesn't know whose it is?" Thinking that if your mother was slandered, you would also jump out like this and fight with people? ”

Seeing that the little fat man didn't speak, Xiao Jing, who was dressed in a cyan shirt, as if he was just an ordinary reader, slowly came to the window. At this time, all the windows that could see the street had been closed by him, and all the noise on the street was cut off, and only some human voices could be faintly heard. He stood there silently, his eyes seeming to be able to see through the closed window.

"Do you believe I'm your uncle?"

The little fat man opened his mouth and wanted to say yes, but when the words came to his mouth, they turned into silence. It took him a while before he buried his head between his hands and said sullenly, "I don't know...... I'm in a mess in my head right now......"

"Before that, the emperor obviously asked you to follow Qianqiu to enjoy the lanterns, why did I go and call you back, but you agreed?"

"I ......"

"You behave very calmly in front of Qianqiu and don't care, but you are very afraid that if what Lin Zhining said is true, in case Qianqiu and you really have any blood relationship, your life experience is involved, his trouble will be your trouble, and then you, the only prince of Dawu, will fall into endless doubts, which is worse than the previous situation."

"I didn't!" The little fat man raised his head suddenly, and his face, which had just turned red, was snow-white at this time, but he didn't know it, and tried his best to behave like an angry bison, "That's just Lin Zhining slandering Yue Qianqiu, and smearing me by the way!" He and I are just rivals who usually have nothing to do and quarrel, we are not ......"

When Xiao Jing turned around and came back to look directly at himself. The obviously menacing little fat man came into contact with the eyes that seemed to be bottomless, and the last few words were suddenly choked in his throat. He hung his head again weakly, and said in a dry voice, "That's right, I was really scared, although Chiaki was very calm when she came to look for me at that time, in fact, I didn't know how to talk to Chiaki...... So uncle, when you came to me, I immediately left with you without even thinking about it, and I didn't even wait to say to Qianqiu in person......"

Xiao Jingxian smiled, sat down again with the corner of his robe, took out a piece of paper folded into dried tofu from his sleeve, and handed it to the little fat man: "Look at it." ”

The little fat man raised his head a little confusedly, hesitated for a moment and reached out to take it, and when he unfolded it and read it, he found that it was exactly the same as the letter that Lin Zhining dictated before, and he immediately trembled with anger. But before he could speak, Xiao Jingxian asked with a smile: "You haven't thought that I let this thing be spread out?" ”

This sentence seemed to be a bolt from the sky, and it almost stunned the little fat man. However, he has experienced countless big and small things in the past few years, not to mention anything else, but his ability to resist pressure has finally been exercised, and he sat down angrily with a light snort: hugging his hands and pinning his head, every word seemed to pop out from between his teeth.

"It's all here, uncle, you're still teasing me! If you did, you wouldn't tell me, no matter how confident you were! ”

"Oh, you've grown up this time, and I'm really not bored enough to do such a thing. What's more, when my sister gave birth to a child, I happened to be away, so I didn't know a lot of the inside story, and I couldn't inquire about it. ”

Xiao Jing first asked the little fat man for the letter back with a smile, and then knocked his hand with the paper.

"Ding An used to be the Shang Palace in the Beiyan Palace, and the people around my sister will definitely have a lot of handwriting circulating. If I guessed correctly, as long as I look back and identify it, the three copies from your father's place, plus the letter in my hand, a total of four, are definitely written by Ding An himself. Because to make up so many details, you definitely need an insider. ”

Seeing that the little fat man was tense all over, and the whole person sat up straight like a bell, Xiao Jingxian couldn't help but walk over and touch his round head, and then smiled: "You don't have to worry, Yue Qianqiu's attitude has always been very resolute, and this time the Yue family sent the letter to your father one step earlier, so your father will set the tone of the matter in public." ”

"This is true for Yue Qianqiu, and of course even more so for you, do you think there will be anyone in this world who knows your background better than your father? Don't take the test for doubt. After all, this huge world will be yours in the future, and it is nothing to test you ten times or eight times. ”

found that Xiao Jingxian's words were exactly the same as Yue Qianqiu's, and the little fat man enjoyed the kindness and comfort of being touched on the head, but he couldn't help but mutter: "But I am the son of my father...... He is better to Yue Qianqiu than to me! ”

This is not the first time that the little fat man has made such a complaint, but Xiao Jingxian has heard it for the first time, and he listened to it in his ears, his face was silent, but his heart was a little terrified. Even if Yue Qianqiu has a prime minister and an eldest princess to vouch for his origin, and has the envoy to Beiyan and the previous merits over the years as a backing, the emperor is indeed too generous to people.

Of course, this is not like an emperor's connivance with his son, after all, no matter which court in the north and south is the first monarch and then the father, but more like knowing something, which gives tolerance beyond the limit of leisure. And Yue Qianqiu's various performances have also ensured that the emperor's tolerance will not be abused indefinitely. And this time, the emperor was afraid that there was something else in his hands that had not been announced.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and a gentle smile suddenly bloomed on his face: "King Ying, I remember that Qianqiu's mother's small banquet, I went back halfway, you went to see her alone, right?" What kind of person do you think she is? ”

Faced with this problem, the little fat man suddenly hesitated, and was more puzzled. Because after the last time he met someone, Xiao Jingxian had never asked this, why did he suddenly care about Yue Qianqiu's adoptive mother now? However, he was really impressed by that one, because she was like a spring flowing from a stone, making people very comfortable from the inside out.

Therefore, he pondered carefully for a while, and finally said calmly: "Qianqiu's mother is a very good person, she speaks kindly, treats people amiably, and when I stand in front of her, I feel that my mother should be like that!" ”

Xiao Jingxian didn't expect such an answer, and was slightly stunned before he smiled: "No wonder Qianqiu, the kid who jumped up and down and didn't accept anyone, would easily accept such a mother." Looks like I need to meet her...... Walk, you lead the way. ”

As for Xiao Jing's temper of doing what he said first, the little fat man has already learned a lot, and it is not very strange. Thinking that people were in a bad mood at this time, and it might be better for many outsiders to accompany him to talk, he nodded happily and agreed, and then stood up. When I got out of the box, I saw that the guards were holding the staircase, and there was no one in the corridor.

In a flash of emotion, he suddenly swooped to the left and pushed open the door. I saw that the huge box was empty, and there was no one. At that moment, he immediately turned his head to look at Xiao Jingxian, but what he got was a chuckle: "Aren't you worried that someone is eavesdropping?" Since it was mine, of course I had a whole row of boxes covered, and they were at the top of the stairs, so that they could not hear us unless they were downwind. ”

Although he didn't care about Xiao Jingxian when he confided in him just now, the little fat man didn't really care in his heart, and now that he was sure that outsiders didn't know, he was much more at ease in his heart, and when he went down the stairs with Xiao Jingxian one after another, he was still interested in making fun of Yue Qianqiu's adoptive father who had not yet appeared. But when he got out of this small restaurant, he only heard Xiao Jingxian, who was walking in front, and didn't reply.

"There is a way, what kind of horse with what kind of saddle, Qianqiu's mother, you still feel amiable at first sight, which shows that extremely outstanding character, do you think she will casually accept a runaway gentleman? The fourth old man of the Yue family...... Hehe, it sounds the same as my nickname back then, and it's a kind of fate, I don't know what an interesting person it is! ”

The little fat man thought about it in his heart and couldn't help but want to pat his head. Yes, it was hard for him to imagine that a person who really ran away from home and disregarded his responsibilities could attract such a woman. The person who can match Chiaki's adoptive mother is definitely not ordinary!

Because it is only diagonally opposite, naturally there is no need to ride a horse or ride a car, but it is more laborious to squeeze through the bustling crowd. Even if there were guards who opened the road left and right, when the little fat man squeezed through the crowd and arrived at the door of Chaoyun Tower, he still sweated. However, when he looked up and saw the light tower facing Chaoyun Tower, he was so happy that he unwillingly tugged on Xiao Jingxian's sleeve.

"Uncle, you see, Yue Qianqiu wants to paint himself a little more majestic, but look at his ......height standing next to Sect Master Zhou" As soon as the words came out, he realized that he had actually called Uncle Xiao Jingxian in front of the public, and his face was as pale as earth. You must know that not everyone is tight-mouthed and does not pass on words, which is a big trouble when others hear it!

Although the little fat man prayed to God and worshiped the Buddha in the hope that others would not hear it, however, out of the corner of his eye, he still caught a glimpse of the instantaneous changing expressions of several guards—both the guards he brought and Xiao Jingxian's guards. Just when he was in turmoil, he only heard a shout and scolding from the top of his head: "Dead little fat man, are you looking for death?" Where did I provoke you, and you dared to laugh at me? ”

Seeing that Yue Qianqiu on the stairs pressed the handrail and jumped down, and then pounced on himself, the little fat man didn't have time to react, and then he heard a startle, followed by the claw that seemed to be pulling his collar and retracted it again.

"You're so smart that you found such a backer to be your uncle and sneak out...... Hmph, don't think he can cover you, I'll settle this account with you! ”

Although Yue Qianqiu's tone was not polite at all, the little fat man only wanted to correct the slip of the tongue just now, so he found that he was made a fuss by Yue Qianqiu's gag, and several guards seemed to be a little relieved, and he couldn't help but secretly scream for help.

At that moment, he hurriedly coughed dryly and said: "Yue Qianqiu, you can't blame me, you have to go to that painter, who let you and Sect Master Zhou stand side by side?" By the way, is your mother still there? That person was so hateful just now, I wanted to comfort her. ”

Yue Qianqiu was not at the window just now, but a few friends who were giggling and watching the lights found that the little fat man and Xiao Jing had squeezed through the crowd with the guards and came here, so they reported a message, so he hurried down. Seeing Xiao Jingxian's strange eyes, he knew that if he used his old tricks to block the car again today, he was afraid that Xiao Jingxian would be suspicious if he didn't have doubts at first, so he could only sigh secretly.

"Do you think she's going to be depressed there, and need your comfort? She had just comforted me, saying that I shouldn't be so impulsive! Just now, a few nephews from the Xuandao Hall came to rest, and seeing that she was so nervous that she didn't know how to put her hands and feet, she still smiled and comforted people, but as a result, people took an old ancestor, causing her to laugh and lean back! ”

Speaking of this, Yue Qianqiu glanced at Xiao Jingxian: "The dead little fat man joined in the fun, you didn't even persuade him, let's go, follow me upstairs!" ”

Xiao Jingxian waited until the little fat man followed Yue Qianqiu upstairs, and then he followed unhurriedly, but he was muttering in his heart what Yue Qianqiu had just said. When he passed the second floor, several ladies happened to come out, and when they saw him, they hurriedly retreated, but some people quietly and boldly looked at him, and he smiled back indifferently. When he got up to the third floor, he could still hear the talk behind him.

"Who is this man?"

"Look at the appearance of being very familiar with Yue Jiugongzi...... Wait, the guy in front of him is quite fat, could it be a ......"

"Oh my God, that's Xiao Jingxian? When I first entered the city, it is said that I don't know how many folk women fell for it! ”

These words were not even as good as a breeze, and they did not leave any ripples on Xiao Jingxian's heart lake. When he went up to the third floor, his eyes naturally filtered through the many young girls he was familiar with, and fell directly on the young woman who was talking to someone in the corner. As if sensing his arrival, she turned her head to look at him, and then smiled at him.

That smile is vaguely familiar.
