Chapter 40: A Thousand Miles Away
Wei Jin patted his chest, stabilized his senses, and then asked Xiaoya why he was hiding here.
In the past few months, the biggest change is the small teeth, which have grown taller and fatter, which can be said to be reborn compared with before.
And the small teeth after the growth can be seen to be the embryo of a handsome and handsome guy, but he is relatively tall, so he still looks very thin.
"Are you worried about the situation in the south affecting this place?"
After a series of strokes, Wei Jin probably understood what he was thinking.
"Silly little tooth, I'm just saying that, even if it will affect it, it won't develop into a riot, but the number of people who will move will increase, so that the complexity of the personnel will greatly increase, and it will create an opportunity for those with bad intentions to cause chaos. These are the people we have to guard against. ”
There will definitely be no war, and the situation in the south is chaotic, but according to the grapevine, it is related to the inner house of Zhennan Gong.
Zhennangong's original partner died of illness a few years ago, leaving only a sick son. Later, the grandfather married Xu Xian and gave birth to a son. People say that if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather, although this is a bit absolute, but what is certain is that the original child is indeed inferior to the current wife's child in the heart of the father.
If the original partner does not have a strong family background, it is difficult to say whether the eldest son of this sick seedling can survive. Fortunately, the power of Zhennangong's original family is not much smaller than that of his grandfather, and the three sons of that family are a daughter who died early.
A few days ago, I heard that the little grandfather was taken out by the step-wife to seek medical advice in the name of praying for blessings, but the person was gone, and now the little grandfather's family was furious, and directly let people take down the step-wife and her biological son, threatening that if the little grandfather could not be found, the two mothers and sons would be buried with the little grandfather, as for the grandfather's side, they would pay three or five stunning beauties to him, and the heir would be.
"Grandpa must be angry, but there is no way to be angry, who let him be negligent and gave his stepwife the opportunity to lose his eldest son. Whether he likes the eldest son or not, the little grandfather is the blood of the royal family, and those people cannot be despised for it. The step-wife stabbed the big basket this time, and I heard that even her mother's house was monitored, and all the children were not allowed to go out. ”
In the warm room, Erhua is also telling her younger siblings about the gossip she heard.
I really don't know if this news is true, anyway, it has nothing to do with them as ordinary people, so I should just listen to the conversation.
"Hasn't the little grandfather found it yet?" Sihua'er sighed, her delicate brows frowned tightly, "It's winter, it's freezing outside, if you can't find it, he's not in good health, but how can he survive the winter!" ”
Xiaoya sat in the corner roasting sweet potatoes with Wei Jin, and looked up at the Wei sisters from time to time.
The atmosphere in the room was inexplicably solemn, Dabao looked left and right, coughed lightly and opened his mouth.
"Sister, next year or the year after, the teacher asked me to give the child test a try."
Tong Sheng takes the test twice every three years, and after that, he is a talent and a person with merit.
Erhua'er's hand trembled, and she looked up at Dabao fiercely.
"All of them, can they all be finished? What else did your teacher say? Is there anything to be prepared for you at home? ”
"Second sister, don't worry." Dabao spoke slowly and logically, and said his teacher's arrangements for him.
"The teacher said that I didn't ask for it the first time, but just to feel it and see what I was missing. I'm still young, and when I get to the end, I'll only be ten years old, so I shouldn't be able to pass it. ”
Erhua was a little angry, but Dabao himself knew how difficult it was to study and take the imperial examination, not to mention ten years old, that is, thirty or forty years old, and he kept taking the children's examination and never passed.
"It's okay, it's normal to not be able to pass the first time, just keep working hard, don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Wei Jin is different from Erhua, she knows the difficulty of the imperial examination, one in a hundred, one in a thousand, one in a thousand, and finally those who can stand in the Golden Palace are the elite of the elite.
"I don't have it, it's okay, the teacher said that at my current learning speed, even if I can't pass the first time, as long as my mentality doesn't collapse, I can probably pass the second time."
Twice in three years, even if it is the end of the year, Dabao will only be thirteen years old by then, and he will still be a half-old child.
Speaking of Dabao, everyone's minds were diverted from the gossip of the Southern Mansion. Talking about what to prepare.
There are a lot of rooms in the old house at home, and Xiaoya sleeps with Dabao across the wall.
After nightfall, everything is silent. Little Tooth tossed and turned on the bed, and finally pulled out a jade bone flute from a small purse that he had hidden with him.
He held it in his hand and hesitated for a long time, until it was about to dawn, and then he made up his mind to put it to his lips.
The bone flute didn't make a sound, but Xiaoya's expression was very cautious. After blowing three times, he rewrapped it and hid it, and went out to work as if nothing had happened.
At this time, somewhere thousands of miles away, a jade cicada suddenly flapped its wings and chirped.
The place where the jade cicada is located is heavily guarded, and the hall is several heavy, and there are countless guards.
The attendant in charge of guarding the inner hall changed his face greatly after hearing the chirping of the jade cicada, and rushed out with a sense of surprise.
"My lord, my lord, my little grandfather has sent back the news!"
Inside the Hua House, the young man with long white hair looked up at the attendant kneeling at the door, his eyebrows slightly stretched.
"Where is the little grandfather now?"
"The cicadas chirp three times, it should be thousands of miles away."
The young man's brow furrowed again, and after a moment of contemplation, he wrote a letter and called the guards to send it somewhere. He got up and walked to the place where the jade cicada was placed.
Upon entering the temple, light illuminates the interior through the open door. More than a dozen jade cicadas stayed silently in mid-air, completely violating gravity. The young man deftly bypassed the other jade cicadas, and came to the side of the jade cicada with a slightly smaller head and a cyan jade color to stand still.
He stretched out his finger and lightly touched the jade cicada. Then, the jade cicada chirped quietly again, obediently staying at his fingertips.
"So far?" The young man raised his eyebrows, and after a moment of silence, he put the jade cicada into a jade box of the same material and carried it out of the inner hall.
"Old Seven, do you have any news of Little Huya?"
A stout young man ran over and stopped in front of the white-haired young man.
"What's wrong with Little Huya? Can you still move? ”
"He's fine, let's not rush to pick him up, saying there's still something to do."
Su Qi handed the jade box to the other party: "You take it, lead someone to the northwest direction quietly, about a thousand miles or so, you release the jade cicada, it will lead you to find the little tiger tooth." ”
The sturdy young man cautiously took the jade box and looked at Su Qi: "Aren't you going?" ”
"I'm leaving, who will take care of my grandfather?"
"That old horseman, it's better to get rid of him directly, and when Xiaohuya comes back, he will be the rightful grandfather."
"Nonsense." Su Qi glared at him, "Don't meddle in this matter, take someone to find Xiaohuya first to ensure his safety." ”
When the stout young man disappeared outside the palace, Suki turned his head to look in a certain direction.
"How is the mother and son doing now?"
"The Bai family is much more honest now, but her son is still clamoring that he is the future little grandfather, saying that he wants us all to die."
"Fools are born fools." Su Qi hooked his lips and smiled, "Life is still so blind in other people's hands, how did the Bai family teach their daughter?" ”
Others did not dare to take these words.
