Although Wu Zhi had the intention to come back soon, there were some trivial things in Fengxue City, and he was delayed for a few more days, but when the New Year was approaching, the father and son returned home tired and embarrassed by the wind and snow.

The two large bath buckets were steaming, and his face was covered with hot handkerchiefs, and the sauce student, who was enjoying himself, heard Zheng Lingyi's voice getting closer and closer, and hurriedly poured a basket of dried petals into the bath bucket, and the petals covered the water surface tightly, and he continued to soak with confidence.

Zheng Lingyi couldn't help laughing, took a spoon and poured hot water on Wu Zhi's back, and said to Jiang Sheng: "I haven't seen any piece of white soaked meat on your body?" ”

When he was a child, he was indeed a soft meat, and Jiang Sheng muttered embarrassedly, "That's different now, it's very interesting!" ”

Wu Zhi couldn't help but laugh, but his smile was short, like a leaf falling into the originally calm lake, although there were ripples, but it quickly faded.

Jiaojiao nestled next to the bathtub, wagging her tail and guarding several masters, it was the least fond of water, never took the initiative to enter the bathroom, these two masters have not seen each other for a long time, it even didn't like it.

Lu Zhu gently called outside the door, Zheng Lingyi walked over and asked her what was the matter, the two talked at the door for a while, Zheng Lingyi quickly turned back, and said to Wu: "Chen Zhu is here, he came in from the side door." ”

Wu Zhi seemed to know that he couldn't wait like this, so he wiped his body casually, wrapped his clothes and went out.

Zheng Lingyi also followed, watching his parents whisper first, and then leave without saying a word, Jiang Sheng was a little strange, he plunged himself into the water and held his breath for a while, and when he surfaced, he felt refreshed, all tiredness was swept away, put on his clothes and took the gift to go to the Yuntuan'er house.

They arrived home at night, ate a big bowl of noodle soup, slept in their clothes, and took a bath, and now it should be sunny outside, but because of the heavy wind and snow today, until this point, it is still hazy like the night.

Yun Tuan'er was still asleep, she had a good dream today, she dreamed that her father and brother were back, she laughed happily, and a laugh from far and near appeared in her dream, hazy, and her face seemed to have been touched.

Yun Tuan'er opened her eyes in a daze, and when she saw Jiang Sheng's smiling face, she was stunned for a while before she shouted happily, "Brother! ”

The brother and sister hadn't seen each other for a long time, Yun Tuan'er laughed for a while, and then cried again, saying that the sauce was bad, coaxing and laughing.

"Where's Daddy?" Yun Tuan'er put his arms around Jiang Sheng's neck and asked him to feed sweet porridge spoonful by spoonful.

"Dad is at home, he has some things, let's go to Dad later." Sauce Sheng coaxed.

Yun Tuan'er pouted unhappily, but she didn't make a fuss in the end.

The brother and sister haven't seen each other for a long time, and there are endless words, Yun Tuan'er nested in Jiang Sheng's arms, like a cat, listening to Jiang Sheng talk about the customs of Feng Snow City, and Jiang Sheng deliberately added oil and vinegar to talk about an ordinary little thing interestingly.

Yun Tuan'er and Xiao Wu'er both laughed, and when they heard the laughter, Jiang Sheng glanced at Xiao Wu'er and said, "I forgot, I also brought you a gift, he said and sandwiched Yun Tuan'er under his armpit, walked to the middle of the gift on the table and took a long box and handed it to Xiao Wu'er."

Xiao Wu'er lowered her head and took it, her face was so hot that she could warm up.

"Why don't you open it and take a look?" Jiang Sheng smiled, Xiao Wu'er didn't know what to say, Jiang Sheng didn't hear clearly, and didn't ask again, only smiled and told Yun Tuan'er a joke.

There was no charcoal in the house last night, and now it is almost burned out, Xiao Wu'er went out to get charcoal, and quietly took out the long box from his sleeve on the way, and pushed open the board to see that it was a pair of butterfly hairpins.

The hairpin is made of silver, not very expensive, but it can be regarded as exquisite, the butterfly is large and small, obviously worn up and down, and there is a real sense of butterfly fluttering in the hair.

Xiao Wu'er liked it very much, and pursed the corners of her mouth, but she didn't dare to laugh, for fear that people would see something from her joy.

Yun Tuan'er began to talk about her father again, Jiang Sheng had to carry her out, the two were in the yard, Jiang Sheng told her a joke about the snowflakes in the north again, Yun Tuan'er was not so easy to coax at this time, after laughing, he still struggled to go to the house.

Wu Zhi was not in the house, Jiang Sheng thought that it should be in the study, put Yun Tuan'er down, and led her to the study, there was Lu Nong standing at the door of the study, and when he saw them coming, he looked a little embarrassed.

Jiang Sheng took Yun Tuan'er and stood still, thinking about saying something to coax Yun Tuan'er to go back first, but Yun Tuan'er was already laughing and shouting, "Daddy." ”

After a while, the door of the study opened, and Wu Punishment picked up Yun Tuan'er and motioned for Jiang Sheng to come in.

Sure enough, there were other people in the study, Chen Zhi looked at Jiang Sheng and smiled slightly, and put down the teacup: "You kid, what do you eat to grow so fast?" Why can't Sheng'er catch up with you? ”

His attitude was as amiable as ever, but Jiang Sheng still felt that his interest was not high, and he seemed to feel depressed, so he said: "Uncle Chen is here, I brought gifts to everyone from Fengxue City, will you bring them back today?" "Ju Library

"Not today, you children will meet sooner or later, wouldn't it be better for you to give them to them yourself?" Chen Zhu hesitated for a moment and said.

Jiang Sheng nodded and said to Yun Tuan'er: "Daddy can't run, let's go out to play first, you let Daddy discuss business with Uncle Chen, okay?" ”

Yun Tuan'er thought about it, and rubbed Wu Zhi's face seriously with her hand, as if to confirm his authenticity, Wu Zhu's face was deformed by her rubbing, and even Chen Zhu, who was worried about his uncle's life, couldn't help but smile.

"Okay then." At this age, she grew up pampered, and Yun Tuan'er's temperament is really well-behaved and sensible.

When the children went out, the smile on Chen's face disappeared without a trace, replaced by a sad face, "Exile is a sure thing, I'm just afraid that this mountain is far away, something goes wrong on the road, or someone has the intention to do something, but I can't even save my life." ”

Wu Zhi held a paperweight in his palm, frowned, and said, "I just wonder, what is the cause of all this?" ”

Chen Zhu said with a headache: "After the verdict was decided, the supervision was relaxed, the day before yesterday, my wife and the Yan family went to visit, Shen Hou only said to my wife, saying that the emperor may be afraid that he has a private relationship with the regent, and feels that he has betrayed, but he feels that there is no omission to make the emperor so sure, and even directly arranges to do it, so he suspects that there is a spy eyeliner in his house, my wife is investigating these days, but there is no clue yet." ”

"Is he really in a relationship with the regent?" Wu punished, but there was no condemnation in his tone.

The relationship between the Chen Mansion and the Lin Mansion is so close, and I don't think this is a big crime worthy of exile, but Shen Gui's identity is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and what he does is a confidant, which is always different.

"It's just that there were some contacts in the early years, and some money was in the pocket in private." Chen Zhi said, and felt that his tone was too biased, coughed, and said: "It's also that he is wrong, but the exile is too heavy, if you suspect him of loyalty, demote, or simply don't use him?" ”

"The emperor's thoughts are understandable," Wu Zhi put down the paperweight, glanced at Chen Zhi, and said, "If it was someone else, it would be fine, but that person is the regent." ”

Chen Zhu thought for a moment and nodded approvingly, "Then, what do you say should be done, just let him, a good man in the prime of life, exile Nanping to reclaim wasteland?" The land in Nanping is full of stones, and no grass grows when you take fertilizer, so what's the use of opening it? It's better to go to the west to garrison the army and garrison food! ”

"To the west is the territory of the Lord Regent." Wu Zhi said that Shen Gui was even more unlikely to go there.

Chen Shu didn't expect it, he just complained.

Shen Qin also wanted to come with him today, but Chen said that the two of them were inevitably eye-catching, and he was the only one who came.

The next day, Zheng Lingyi and Cai Yuran took a few children to Chen's house openly, and after visiting the ancestors, they went to Shen Qin's courtyard.

In front of the children, Shen Qin didn't show too much emotion, and when several children were sharing gifts around the sauce, Zheng Lingyi and Shen Qin walked to the side of the round table and sat down.

Shen Qin looked at the children sideways, and saw that Qingyang was taking earrings and asking Jiang Sheng to put them on her, hooked the corners of his mouth, but said to Zheng Lingyi in a very depressed tone: "Brother said that the people in the house betrayed him, I can't find out who it is, isn't it very useless?" ”

Zheng Lingyi held her hand and said, "How come?" You are not a Da Luo Immortal who can pinch and calculate, and your brother himself is just suspicious, is there such a person to say. ”

"Yes." Shen Qin said weakly that she and Princess Ping were worried about startling the snake, so they only secretly checked the origin and life history of the people, and there was nothing suspicious.

Qingyang and Yun Tuan'er's laughter was soft and clear, which washed away the sorrow between Shen Qin's eyebrows a little.

"Can you tell you about the plan he has negotiated with my husband?" Zheng Lingyi said in a very low voice.

Shen Qin nodded almost invisibly, Zheng Lingyi raised his eyebrows, and said, "It's better for us to have a plan and cheat the ghost." ”

Shen Qin looked at Zheng Lingyi with some confusion, Zheng Lingyi whispered a few words in her ear, Shen Qin pinched the handkerchief to cover her mouth, her eyes flickered, and then she looked at Zheng Lingyi and nodded firmly.

When Qingyang went to the palace to dine with Princess Ping the next day, he wore the golden green opal earrings given by Jiang Sheng.

After all, it was her grandchildren in front of her, and Princess Ping cheered up and said, "That child was honest and obedient when he was a child, and he had a good eye for picking jewelry." ”

"He's not stupid, he's very smart." Qingyang retorted.

Princess Ping and Shen Qin glanced at each other, a little surprised, and after smiling, they fell silent again.

Princess Ping knew the reason why Shen Qin came today, and said deliberately: "Your sister-in-law has lost a lot of weight in the past few days, and the children in the courtyard have also lost their smiles, you take Qingyang to take a look at them and persuade them to be loose." ”
