The prosperity of the capital is not much better than that of the Sifang City, which is developed in commerce and trade, and there are many exotic orchids and bearded Mobei men, Su Xi hid in the carriage and quietly probed, carefully staring at these novel characters.

After the carriage drove out of the market, the surroundings slowly quieted down, and the surrounding buildings began to become majestic and magnificent, different from the gray and white elegant colors of the square city, with red walls and green tiles, carved beams and paintings, showing the momentum of the master's house.

"This is the inner city, Prince Lu's mansion is here, and two more streets away," Lu Youzhen explained carefully.

"Didn't you never come to the capital after that? How do you feel familiar with the capital? Su Xi said strangely.

Lu Youzhen smiled "hehe" and said, "There is a thing called Yutu, and there is a kind of person called a spy." You don't think I've been doing all these years of useless work. ”

Don't dare, don't dare, Su Xi hurriedly shook his head, thinking about the news from those people under him every time, Su Xi couldn't help but shudder, and asked with some worry: "Won't our family have such spies?" ”

Su Xi thought: If you have to be recorded even a few times a day, it is better to die.

Lu Youzhen tilted his head and thought for a while and said: "Now there are only a few people in the family except Xianglan, and only the two-room people sent by my uncle, but you can rest assured, if there is a need to buy people in the future, you can carefully investigate it." ”

"There are few people in the family, and there are not so many people, so don't buy it," Su Xi was worried in his heart, even an old man like Mama Yu who had been serving for more than ten years could be someone else's spy, what else was impossible?

Big families are really too dangerous!

Lu Youzhen felt very interesting when he saw her vigilant appearance, he took Su Xi's hand and said, "Don't worry too much, after all, there are a few people like Mama Yu who have been buried for more than ten years, and she has no intention of harming me to lurk for so long."

"Now that we have a heart, we will definitely not let people take advantage of loopholes, and in the future, unless we know the roots, don't let people get close, and don't give up eating because of choking."

Su Xi nodded, she knew that Lu Youzhen had arranged many secret sentinels around the house, which was difficult for ordinary people to notice, even if there was another situation like Mama Yu, the dark sentinels would be able to save the scene as soon as possible. She really shouldn't be constrained.

The two whispered to each other, and they heard Lu Nian, who was driving outside, say, "Prince Lu's Mansion has arrived."

The carriage stopped at the door, Lu Youzhen got out of the car first, and helped Su Xi down, because they had paid their respects in advance, so when they got off the car, they saw a smiling steward eunuch at the door.

Lu Youzhen recognized this person, when the grandson Situ Lanye came to marry the eldest sister, he was followed by this eunuch, Lu Youzhen said with a smile: "Gonggong Yang is not harmed." ”

"Ouch, the second son still remembers the slave maid, it's really a blessing for the slave and maid," Yang Gonggong looked flattered, and added a little closeness to Lu Youzhen, "The princess was very happy to learn that the two were coming, and let the slave and maid wait here early in the morning." ”

said that he asked Lu Youzhen and Su Xi to go to the house.

The three of them walked to Duanrui Hall, and Yang Gong said fairly: "Please wait outside the door for a while, and the slave and maid will go in first to report to the prince." ”

Father-in-law Yang came out after a short time and invited them to go in together, Lu Youzhen and Su Xi glanced at each other, and followed Gonggong Yang into the hall, in addition to Prince Lu's family, there was also Lu Youze.

The old man with white hair who sat at the top of the hall must have been Prince Lu, but his face was gloomy and his complexion did not seem to be very good. There are a middle-aged couple sitting on the side, dressed solemnly and richly, they should be the prince and the princess.

Lu Youzhen lifted his robe, knelt in front of Prince Lu, kowtowed and said, "Lu Youzhen to meet his grandfather, uncle and aunt. Su Xi also knelt down and called someone with Lu Youzhen.

Prince Lu pinched the handkerchief and covered his mouth and coughed twice, before he slowly spoke: "Get up, I haven't seen you for many years, Ah Zhen has grown so big and married a wife, okay, okay!" Ahem......"

"Father, let's drink some tea," Shizi took a cup of ginseng tea and fed it to Prince Lu one by one, and only after drinking a small half cup did he see that Prince Lu was better.

This is the age of age, Lu Youzhen sighed silently. Lu Xiyuan, who was on the side, sighed and whispered to them: "Grandfather's body has always been unpleasant, especially in the past two years...... This year is better, and I can occasionally come out and walk around. ”

"This is thanks to Xiyuan, you gave birth to a smart and clever peach," Situ Lanye answered, "You haven't seen a peach yet, he is the child of me and Xiyuan, grandfather likes him very much, every time he sees a peach, grandfather's spirit is very good." ”

Situ Lanye's face was completely the joy of being a first-time father, and there was a hint of secret showing off. Lu Youzhen suddenly looked at Su Xi's belly, silently wondering if there would be a little doll connected to his bloodline inside?

About Situ Lanye's voice came into Prince Lu's ears, Prince Lu's half-closed eyes opened in vain, and asked, "Is Peaches here?" ”

Shizi glared at his son, and Situ Lanye hurriedly said, "Grandfather, I have asked the nurse to hug me, and I will come right away." After hearing this, Prince Lu closed his eyes again, leaned back in his chair, and his whole person seemed to be nested in it, so thin that he couldn't do it.

The nurse carried the child to the hall, and Lu Xiyuan took the child and walked to Prince Lu with Situ Lanye and called him softly.

Prince Lu seemed to be asleep, and there was no reaction, the prince signaled them not to disturb anymore, and was about to carry Prince Lu back to the bedroom to sleep, but he heard the little peach in the swaddling clothes shout to Prince Lu twice, and Prince Lu opened his eyes.

"Little peach, little peach," Prince Lu shouted, stretching out his hand to hold the child, Lu Xiyuan handed the peach into his arms but didn't let go - Prince Lu's body was good and bad, and she didn't dare to give the child to him completely.

Prince Lu didn't care, holding the child with one hand, and nodding the child's delicate cheeks with the other, he coaxed the child "oh" twice, and Peaches quickly responded with two "ahhhhhhhh

The old and the young exchanged happily with such simple notes, and from time to time there was a tender laugh of the peach, and when he heard the peach laughing, Prince Lu also laughed, as if they really said something funny.

After playing for a while, Little Peach was so tired that he yawned, Prince Lu also yawned, he waved his hand and asked Lu Xiyuan to take the child back to sleep, and went to the inner room with a cane.

As soon as he walked to the door, Prince Lu seemed to remember that there were still two grandsons at home, so he half-turned around and said to Lu Youze and Lu Youzhen:

"People are useless when they are old, you play in the house for a few more days, ask Lan Ye to accompany you, they are all your own family, don't see outside."

After speaking, he continued to walk to the inner room, looking at the old man's rickety back, and everyone couldn't help but feel sour in their hearts.
