Since the prince died violently, Emperor Heng was heartbroken, grief-stricken, he had been bedridden for several days, and the court was in ruins.

As soon as Master Zhuang heard that the good days of getting up late were over, he was displeased, and he only drank a bowl of white porridge for breakfast, so he hurried up to the court.

Song Qi originally packed some snacks for him to eat in the carriage, but he played a trick and refused to take them, which is good, when he arrived in the next dynasty, Lord Zhuang's stomach was already grumbling with hunger, and he couldn't help but be annoyed in his heart: I would have listened to Mrs. obediently if I knew it!

At this time, a straight red-clothed figure walked next to him, Zhuang Hao turned his head to look, it turned out to be Mao Fang, the secretary of the military department, only to see the pair of Danfeng eyes looking at him with interest, Zhuang Hao had to greet politely and reservedly: "Lord Mao, how are you doing lately?" ”

Hearing Zhuang Hao's words, Mao Fang's slender Danfeng eyes narrowed, and said with a smile: "The emperor's dragon body is not safe, and the official is anxious, how can there be a good word to say!" ”

Zhuang Hao was stunned for a moment, he didn't know why the big celebrity next to the prince was looking for him to greet an idler, so he had to deal with it: "This official is the same as an adult!" ”

"That's not it!" The corners of Mao Fang's mouth were slightly upturned, although he was no longer confused, he still had the elegance of the year: "I heard that Lord Zhuang recently added a daughter to his family, because he is happy with the family!" ”

It turned out that it was for this matter, Zhuang Hao made up his mind and said frankly: "The daughter of the family is nine years old this year, and the early years that should be happy are all happy, and now I have to take it home, and the family is reunited, and it is also the blessing of Daheng!" ”

Mao Fang's thin eyes stared at Zhuang Hao tightly, and when he saw that he was not pretending, he exhaled lightly and said with a smile: "In this way, I wish Lord Zhuang a family reunion and peace and security!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Mao!" Zhuang Hao still looks like an open-minded gentleman, which really makes people can't guess what they think in their hearts.

Mao Fang looked at Zhuang Hao's back, in fact, as soon as he received the news, he sent someone to Yangzhou to investigate thoroughly, and the report that came back said: Eight years ago, the Song family did go to Yangzhou, and there were also midwives who said that they did deliver a female doll, and the descendants of the Zhuang family's former residence also testified that the eldest lady did go to Shengjing to reunite with her family.

It seems that this Zhuang Dusk is really the daughter of the banker?

Mao Fang's cold Danfeng eyes were faintly suspicious, he always felt that this Zhuang Hao was hiding clumsy.

Why did the people he sent get the same answer? Do Yangzhou people remember the events of eight years ago so clearly? If all this is arranged by Zhuang Hao, then it means that his appearance and appearance are indeed different.

"Sister, my brother will take you to Suzaku Street, the most lively street in Shengjing, today, okay?" Zhuang Lin said happily to Yan Du in the carriage, Yan Du looked around, the spacious mahogany car and, sure enough, it was not the previous carriage!

She had some doubts in her heart, although she wanted to ask Zhuang Lin directly, but when she saw the little scholar Leshui and Xuequ sitting on the side, she swallowed the words into her stomach.

On this trip, she deliberately left the shrewd and clever Xue Jing in the house, because some things were too shrewd and too much to remember, which was inconvenient for herself.

She wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, and pretended to be relaxed: "Brother, I have just arrived, and I want to take a look around the house first, can you take me around and see the mansion near here, so that I can recognize the way." ”

"Good! Younger sister! Zhuang Lin heard that his sister had something to ask for him, so he was naturally willing, but he didn't know the way himself! Turning his head and thinking about it, fortunately there is still Leshui: "Leshui, you go and tell the young lady about it!" ”

Leshui originally saw that the young master refused to go up the mountain, and his heart had already wilted, but when he heard that he could talk to the young lady, he immediately cheered up as if he had drunk a tonic: "Okay, miss, young master!" ”

"Our Zhuang Mansion is in the east of Baihu Street, and most of the dignitaries and nobles in the capital live on this street, so it is convenient to come and go." Leshui pointed to a mansion in Zhuang's mansion that was not more than a hundred steps away, and said: "Next to this is Uncle Guo's mansion, where Uncle Li's family lives......"

Uncle Li? Surnamed Lee?

Yan Duan lifted the curtain of the car and stared closely at the door plaque engraved with the words "Uncle Guo's Mansion", could it be related to the "Master Li" in Chen Shouzi's mouth?

She jumped off Baihu Street that day, because she obviously felt that the carriage transporting them was slowing down, and guessed that she had almost arrived at the house of "Lord Li", according to this distance, it should be this uncle's mansion, since she is the uncle of the country, she is the brother of the current queen, but the current queen's surname is Bai, and the surname Li should be a member of the Li royal family of the previous dynasty.

The founding emperor of Daheng, the current Heng Emperor Ying Xuanyou's deeds can be called unprecedented: the former dynasty champion Yuanlang, married the princess Li Fengxia of the previous dynasty, and immediately led an army of 50,000 to swear at the time of thirty, reprimanding Emperor Li for listening to slander and killing Zhongliang, causing the people's resentment to boil. Under the reckless army, the former emperor Li Yuan was forced to Zen in Ying Xuanyou and set himself up as Emperor Heng, that is, in Shengjing.

Empress Li has passed away, and the only bloodline prince Ying Ming also died of illness before, this Uncle Li is now walking on thin ice, and he still dares to sell human beings privately?

A lot of information kept passing through her mind, and Yan Du suddenly felt that her brain, which was usually turning very fast, seemed to be dull, and she couldn't think at all.

"This is the British King's Mansion, one of the largest mansions in the entire capital, I heard that it accounts for more than half of Baihu Street!" I don't know how far the carriage has traveled, Leshui has been talking endlessly, but Yan Du feels that his brain is heavy, and he can't listen to half a word at all.

"The third junior brother's house is really big, if you live in his house, you may not be able to walk for ten days!" Zhuang Lin looked at the vermilion gate of the British Palace, and said to Yan Du with a smile.

Feeling Zhuang Lin's gaze, Yan Duan came back to his senses in an instant, his eyes were a little dull, although his ears couldn't listen to his words, his brain nodded slightly.

Zhuang Lin saw that Yan Du was a little absent-minded, thinking that she wanted to go to a lively place to play, so he called the coachman to take them to Suzaku Street for a stroll.

Yan Du breathed heavily, and when he saw Zhuang Lin's excited appearance, he didn't say anything, but nodded his head to meet the ......

On Suzaku Street, where people come and go, there are new and interesting things everywhere, teahouses, taverns, and workshops on both sides of the street, and there are many small vendors with stalls in the open spaces on both sides of the street. The streets stretch east and west to the quieter suburbs outside the city, but the streets are still full of pedestrians.

Yan Du stared at Zhuang Lin and held her hand tightly, it was the first time she was held by other men, on weekdays in Yanfu, either the twenty teaching gentlemen took turns to teach her, or a group of maids surrounded her to serve her, and the only few times she sneaked up on the street with Bai Feng, she could only swallow dates and take a look.

Zhuang Lin is not as vigilant as Bai Feng, and is always aware of her expression. He is more like a lively, kind, generous and hearty friend, this feeling is very novel and precious!

Zhuang Lin took Yan Dui's soft and hot little hand, his heart was full of joy, looking at all kinds of things on the street, he just wanted to buy them all for Yan Dui, but he suddenly saw the shallow scar on her forehead, and suddenly remembered the purpose of coming out today, so he quietly called Leshui to help him.

"Sister! Is this good-looking? Zhuang Lin pulled Yan Du to a stall selling masks, pointed to a row of vivid and cute masks and asked.

"Beautiful." Yan Du gasped for air, sweating from her forehead again, and she felt more and more that her body was getting heavier and heavier, and her brain was a little dizzy.

Zhuang Lin pointed to the row of masks with a smile and said, "Then you pick one, and my brother will buy it for you!" ”

Seeing that Zhuang Lin was so excited, Yan Du couldn't retreat, so he had to pretend to be careful and take the opportunity to take a break.

Zhuang Lin didn't expect Yan Du to pick so seriously, and he also looked at the row of masks, and when he saw the big bear mask, he remembered the tall and tall elder brother, this is not good! Seeing the fox mask next door again, the four junior brothers were smiling on weekdays, and this is not good! Looking at the wolf mask next to him again, for some reason, I remembered the third junior brother who usually doesn't smile, this, even worse!

Looking left and right, this rabbit mask is still the most suitable for his sister.

However, in the next second, Zhuang Lin saw Yan Du pick up the wolf mask, smiled slightly, and said to him: "That's it!" ”

Zhuang Lin looked at the mask that was painted a little realistically, and the wolf's two eyes were green and faint, as if they could shine through the light in those eyes.

"Really, is this it?" Zhuang Lin looked at the delicate and lovely Yan Du with some surprise, but he didn't notice that she was sweating more and more on her forehead.

Yan Du took the mask and nodded heavily, she had just asked the vendor, this wolf mask was the most bought by men, and it was useful for her!

Yan Du stared straight at the mask that was a little abrupt to the woman, and couldn't help but feel cold in his heart, if the wolf turned back, there must be a reason, either to repay the favor, or to take revenge!

Zhuang Lin saw that Yan Du liked it so much, so he didn't want to ask again, and while paying the merchant two taels of silver, he muttered that he would take her to Deyue Tower for a good meal:

"Sister, you haven't been to Taoyuanju yet! The osmanthus cake there is the best, wait for my brother to buy it for you......"

"Boom!" With a sound, Zhuang Lin suddenly felt that the figure standing next to him suddenly disappeared, and his heart trembled.

"Miss! Miss! Yan Dui's fat maid Xue Qu had already knelt on the ground, nervously helping Yan Dui's small upper body, Zhuang Lin was stunned for a moment, looking at Yan Dui, who was already unconscious, the sweat on his forehead that he had ignored many times dripped straight to the ground, stabbing his eyes painfully.

Perhaps the tense nerves were relieved after the great tribulation, and once this person began to relax, his body would become fragile, as if the previous tribulation had accumulated little by little, and it exploded at this moment.

In a whirlwind, Yan Du suddenly saw Zhuang Linyue's white robe, and for some reason, the only trace of resistance left with it. I just felt that my eyes were black, and my body couldn't hold it anymore!

The surrounding guards had already rushed forward to pick up Yan Dui, and in this moment, Zhuang Lin seemed to understand something.

There are some things that you can't rush to come! It's like the osmanthus cake that can only be baked every two hours in the Moon Tower, like the kind of Junzi Orchid that blooms once a year on Tianji Mountain, like Yan Dui's heart that has not yet been completely opened for him.

Obviously saw her absent-mindedness, obviously saw the embarrassment in her eyes, why can't I be smarter, perceive her discomfort, perceive her pain......

Zhuang Lin's heart, for the first time since he was born, panicked as if it was about to break.

This should be heartache!
