On the day before Ji Zhun's birthday, everyone in the palace, including the British duke, had to take a carriage to Zhuangzi.

Ji Zhun also saw his third brother Ji Jin, whom he hadn't met for a long time, the thin young man was carried into the carriage by the little guy, obviously at the age of calling friends and companions, but he could only be alone, and the only ones who could talk to him were his two little guys.

still remembers that when he was young, Ji Jin liked his sister very much, and when Ji Zhun was playing, Ji Jin asked the nurse to hold him and follow her, while she kept ignoring her younger brother.

Later, when the two of them grew up, the nurse could no longer hold him, he could only sit in a wheelchair, but Ji Zhun was already a young man in Wuling, with fresh clothes and angry horses.

He can't catch up anymore.

The carriage drove all the way to Yulan Mountain, and did not arrive at Beizhuang from time to time.

There was already a steward of the village to welcome the door, and after inviting An, he led everyone into the village. This Zhuangzi was given to the old British Duke by the first emperor, Zhuangzi is built according to the garden shape, pavilions, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, it can be described as a step and a scene, there is no cave. The best thing about this Zhuangzi is that it is quite wild, there is a small pavilion built with thatch on the edge of the pond for people to fish, lotus flowers are planted in the pond, there are two lotus picking boats floating on the pond, and some courtyards also raise poultry.

Everyone ran around all day, and after a brief visit, they all went back to their respective courtyards, the yard where Ji Zhun lived was called Lu Qizhai, and the stars were very excited when they heard the name, because the place where the third lady Ji Hen lived was called Xiao Chanjuan, and there were many rabbits in it.

"Miss, your yard is called Lu Qizhai, are there many egrets!" After the star finished speaking, he couldn't help but look around.

Ji Zhun also looked around the yard, the green tiles and white walls, quiet and elegant, but he didn't see anything related to the egret.

The master and servant came to the bright room, pushed the window and looked out, but there was a beautiful scenery. Outside the window is a pond, the bank is planted with weeping willows, some trunks are not in the water, only the canopy of the tree surface, and some willow branches hang low, the wind blows the willow tops, and the leaves are rippling and not wild. A hemp rope is tied to a stake on the side of the pond, and a small boat is fixed on the other side.

Ji's master and servant rested early.

Early in the morning of the second day, Ji Zhun heard movement outside the window sash, she got up, pushed the window to look out, and it happened that there were egrets flying slowly from the mountains in the distance, coupled with the wild pond outside the window, in this morning light, Ji Zhun couldn't help murmuring: "It's really a colorful boat and a cloud, and the galaxy is rising." ”

Today is her birthday, and Ji Zhun deliberately wore a red embroidered gown with red shoulders and a dark woven golden horse face skirt. Combed the double-ring high bun and inserted the hairpin and wear the ring, which was much more grand than in the past.

Ji Zhun went to greet his grandfather and grandmother first, and after sitting for a while, Cui's and two younger sisters also arrived, followed by Ji Jin.

Although it was only Ji Zhun's fourteenth birthday, the family had a small population, and it was rare to have any happy events, so he simply took this opportunity to be lively and lively, and invited the Chunxiao class to sing today.

When everyone arrived, Cui invited everyone to listen to the play in Nanke Pavilion, and today he sang a whole play "Phoenix Mountain", and everyone watched it with relish. Ji Zhun was a little tired from sitting, he turned sideways slightly, and inadvertently saw Ji Jin sitting in the corner, he was watching the play intently at the moment, and he was singing the fold of "Hundred Flowers Giving Swords" on the stage, Ji Zhun couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw this scene. How can the sword hero and the love of children not be loved, but his younger brother should also be a son, but he was confined to every inch because of his leg disease.

After listening to the play, everyone had dinner in the West Pavilion again. Everyone at the banquet was very happy, and the British public raised the cup, and everyone drank less fruit brew. Ji Zhun also took some silver coins and sugar, rewarded all the maids, and the meal was lively and lively, and it didn't disperse until the time of the lamp.

Ji Zhun was happy today, drank a little too much, his face was red, and he urged Yun Zhaoyue to help her on the side. Ji Zhun didn't go back to the yard, but stood by the water pavilion to blow the wind.

At this time, there was a sound of rolling on the side of the path, and Ji Zhun looked back, only to see two young people and a teenager passing by.

Ji Zhun really drank too much, turned around and strode towards Ji Jin, Ji Jin's two little servants, Zitong and Zizhou, saw that the eldest lady was menacing, although they were also afraid of Ji Zhun, but their duty was to protect the young master behind him.

Qiyun and Zhaoyue also hurriedly stepped forward to hold Ji Zhun, and Ji Zhun was also stopped by a pull.

Ji Zhun's flying eyebrows were staring at Ji Jin's face upright at the moment, and his heart was full of love and pity.

No one made any further moves, and the atmosphere was a little delicate for a while. The night wind blew the water waves, and Ji Zhun also sobered up a little, she didn't say anything, and left with the maids.

Only Ji Jin and the two little guys who couldn't figure out the situation were still standing in place.

Ji Jin has been watching Ji Zhun leave, his eldest sister, who is not stingy, rushed to him for some reason just now, he looked at her through Zitong Zizhou's shoulder, she was still like when she was a child, her head full of pearls refracted in the moonlight, just like her person, everywhere is the focus. The appearance that resembles him, happy and hateful, will always be more vivid than him.

After Ji Zhun left, Urging Yun Zhaoyue didn't dare to ask what happened to Ji Zhun just now, and this matter passed like this.

This time they came to Zhuangzi, they were going to stay a few more days. In the meantime, the British summoned her once, and gave her two boxes, "Open it and look at the birthday gifts that your father and your mother gave you." ”

Ji Zhun couldn't hide his surprise, and opened it according to his words, there was a pair of arms in the small brocade box, and a beautiful hollow thing was contained in the big box, which was engraved with a three-legged golden crow. Ji Zhun looked at his grandfather puzzled.

The English Duke pointed to the big box and said, "Your father gave you a head." ”

Ji Zhun was funny in his heart, his father was really interesting, I thought it was because he knew that she had fallen from the horse, so that she could learn how to control the horse.

Ji Zhun carefully accepted it and asked his grandfather, "I don't know what news has been passed on from General Shen's side?" ”

The British Duke was also about to talk to Ji Zhun about this: "The news sent today, as soon as he arrived at the Dianyue border, he was targeted, and he quietly returned with the proton according to what we discussed before." I deduce that he should have met with your second brother at the Qiuchuan military camp at this time, and the next road, with your second brother guarding, should be foolproof. I will go to the palace tomorrow to face the saint, and this matter must be known to His Majesty. Ji Zhun nodded.

Jiufang Hutong Xi family.

Xi Wenlin walked into Aunt Luo's yard angrily, Xi Nianyao saw that her father was coming, and she really wanted to salute and say hello, but she was waved away by her father.

Xi Wenlin strode into the bright room, Aunt Luo was looking at the account book with the housekeeper's daughter-in-law, and when she saw that it was him, she got up and poured him a cup of tea. Xi Wenlin raised his hand and swept the tea cup to the ground, and the people waiting in the house saw this and hurriedly retreated.

Aunt Luo was apprehensive when she saw him so atmospheric for the first time, but she still said: "What's wrong with the master, why is he so angry." After speaking, he poured Xi Wenlin another cup of tea.

Only then did Xi Wenlin calm down a little and said, "Do you know! That proton thing is messed up! ”

"What's wrong?" Aunt Luo was puzzled, "Is it because the person from the above faction didn't rob the person?" Or did you not cut the grass and eradicate the roots? ”

Xi Wenlin said hatefully: "It's not that the people sent are not good!" It's that they don't see anyone at all! It's our message that's wrong! It's us who messed up! ”

Aunt Luo was also a little flustered, "This ...... It's impossible! I've had people find out, so... That Gong Liuzi copied all the routes! ”

Xi Wenlin said: "Route! The route is nothing more than a façade! Shen Chenghuai didn't follow the route at all! As soon as he arrived at Chunling Pass, he fell ill, and there were doctors coming in and out of the post station all day long, and the people sent to stop a doctor to inquire, saying that the old disease had recurred due to running for days, and the ulceration and pus caused a high fever. Later, the man went to investigate in the middle of the night, and it was extremely smelly just by getting close, so he was delayed for a few days, and when the person sent to react was wrong, Shen Chenghuai had already gone to the Dianyue Royal Court to pick up the proton and come back, and there was no trace of it when he went to investigate again! ”

Aunt Luo's face was already pale with fright, "Master! Master! Let's explore the route clearly, sir! It's the one surnamed Shen who didn't follow the route, so the above won't blame, right? ”

Xi Wenlin also had a headache, "You ask me?" I don't know! He suddenly thought of something, pointed at Aunt Luo and said, "Yes! I'll ask you! The gardener who inquired about you! Has he been here recently? ”

Aunt Luo shook her head, "No, the last time he came was when he sent the road map." I'm afraid that this matter will startle the snake, so I asked him not to come recently. ”

"You have to find a way to contact him, as long as he comes, you must detain someone for me!"
