When Xie Zheng was thinking about countermeasures, You Xiao said again: "The prince also paid four hundred and fifty taels of silver for him as a forbidden fee, and his subordinates said one more word, this money should be returned to the prince, maybe this money is nothing to the prince, but it is better for the lady to return the money than to owe favors." ”

"You're right," Xie Zheng took another deep breath, then looked sideways at Yuzhi and ordered, "Yuzhi, fetch four hundred and fifty taels of silver for me." ”

"Yes," Yuzhi returned to Xie Zheng's room, and when she came out again, she held a money bag in her hand, she walked up to Xie Zheng, and was about to open the money bag for Xie Zheng to see, but Xie Zheng blocked her hand and said, "You don't need to open it, you take it, follow me to the prince's mansion." ”

As soon as Xie Zheng finished speaking, he turned around to walk out of the courtyard, but saw Xie Wei striding over, and at that time, Xie Wei's eyes were staring directly at the bulging money bag in Yuzhi's hand, until Yuzhi put the money bag in his sleeve pocket, and his eyes did not look away.

"Sister, where are you going?" Xie Wei was already born with the appearance of a roe deer, and this grin made the whole person a little obscene.

As soon as Xie Zheng saw him, the anger in his heart came up, and he said with a cold face: "You came just in time, come with me to the prince's mansion." ”

As she spoke, she walked past Xie Wei and walked behind him, and Xie Wei also turned around at this time, facing her back, and asked incomprehensibly, "I just came back from the Prince's Mansion, what are I going to do?" ”

Xie Zheng stopped, looked back at him, and only showed a "kind" smile at him for a long time, and said bluntly: "Go and wipe your ass." ”

After she said that, the smile on her face instantly disappeared, replaced by a cold look, she then turned around and strode away, Xie Wei was confused when she heard it, although she was unwilling to follow, she didn't dare to disobey Xie Zheng's meaning, so she had to follow obediently.

It is not a sin to be illiterate, Xie Zheng will not be angry with Xie Wei for this, not to mention that Xie Wei is the benefactor she invited back, and she has to bear Xie Wei's right and wrong.

But Xie Qian shouldn't be pretending, and now he is ugly in front of Xiao Zhen, if he calmly admitted that he was illiterate, then nothing would have happened, but he was really sneaky and secretive, with Xiao Zhen's suspicious temperament, it was hard to guarantee that he would not doubt whether the two were really brothers and sisters!

Xie Zheng was dizzy for a while, and now he doesn't take Xie Wei to rely on her name to make trouble outside.

A group of four people arrived at the prince's mansion, from the prince's mansion gatehouse into the pass, not long after seeing Yin Luo come out to greet him, Yin Luo bowed to Xie Zheng and saluted, which led the four people into the garden, to the garden, Yin Luo and Xie Zheng said: "County Lord, His Royal Highness is in the study to deal with official business, you wait here, Rong Beizhi went in to inform him." ”

Xie Zheng quickly thought about it, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm just here to thank His Highness on behalf of my brother, if Your Highness is inconvenient, I don't want to bother, I just want to bother you to return something for Your Highness for me." ”

As she spoke, she glanced sideways at Yuzhi, Yuzhi understood, and immediately took out the money bag from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Yin Luo, Yin Luo looked down, knowing what Xie Zheng meant, he didn't dare to make the decision without permission, so he sneered: "You can't be the master of this matter, the county lord should wait for His Highness to come out." ”

Xie Zheng didn't say anything, Yin glanced at her with a smile, and then went into the study.

At that time, Xiao Zhen was indeed sitting in front of the bookcase, but he was not busy with official business as Yin Luo said, but held the "Statue of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest" that he took out in the morning to test Xie Wei, and he was fascinated.

Although a pair of starry eyes looked at the paintings, but a heart had already flown out of the clouds, and he was still thinking about why Xie Wei was illiterate from the scholar clan, and why Xie Zheng was quick and intelligent, and had no resemblance to her brother.

Yin Luo has a strong physique, although he has a lot of weight, but he has been marching all the year round, and he has already practiced the ability to tiptoe, and he doesn't have the slightest sound when he walks.

"Your Highness," Xiao Zhen was already in a trance, and he didn't even notice Yin Luo coming in, and it wasn't until he called him that he pulled his thoughts back.

Xiao Zhen looked sideways at Yin Luo, Yin Luo walked quickly to the bookcase, and said, "Xie Niangzi is here." ”

Hearing that Xie Zheng was here, Xiao Zhen was not surprised, his body fell slightly to the right, and he poked his head out of the door of the study, but unfortunately his bookcase was facing the window of the study, although it was still a few steps away from the window, but he couldn't see the scene outside the door.

"In the courtyard," Yin said knowing that he couldn't see outside while sitting here, and then lowered his voice slightly, and continued, "I said that I brought my brother to thank you." ”

When Xiao Zhen heard this, a smile appeared on his lips inexplicably, and he only said: "I'm afraid that the thank you is fake, and the lie is true." ”

As soon as he said that, he immediately got up and walked out, and the consequence was really to see Xie Zheng and Xie Wei standing in the courtyard, and Yuzhi and You Xiao standing behind them.

"Why is Mrs. Xie here?" Xiao Zhen pretended not to know Xie Zheng's intentions, and as soon as he came out, he asked, Xie Zheng, owed him a debt, and called softly: "Your Highness." ”

Xie Wei stood on the side behind her, and when he saw her saluting, he also hurriedly waved at Xiao Zhen.

Xiao Zhen walked down the corridor, held Xie Zheng's arm, and said with a smile: · You and I know each other well, so we don't have to stick to these old rules. ”

After Xie Zheng straightened up, Xiao Zheng stretched out his hand to guide the square coffee table under the old locust tree in front of him, and said with a smile: "Sit down." ”

Xie Zheng followed Xiao Zhen to the coffee table one after the other, and the two sat opposite each other, and Xie Wei also followed Xie Zheng respectfully, Xie Zheng sat down, but he had nowhere to sit, Xiao Zhen saw that he was embarrassed, and hurriedly instructed Yin Luo: "Yin Luo, go and add a stool to Xie Langjun." ”

Yin Luo moved the stool and put it on Xie Zheng's right hand slightly back, not in front of the coffee table, Xie Wei sat down, and he didn't dare to squeak in a proper manner.

Xie Zheng opened her mouth first, and she said bluntly: "Shicai is in the Hou Mansion, I heard my brother say that when he purchased the forbidden step in the Huang Family's Jade Shop, he was shy in his pocket, and it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who generously donated money to relieve him of the siege and invited him to the mansion as a guest?" ”

Xiao Zhen smiled and replied: "It's not about generosity, it's just a gesture, not enough to worry about." ”

"I can't hide it, Deyin is here to thank His Highness for his brother, thank Your Highness for your help, so as not to embarrass him," Xie Zheng said, and looked at Xie Wei sideways, Xie Wei understood, and he was busy smiling at Xiao Zhen: "Uh...... Yes, yes, thank you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for your help, Xie is grateful, grateful. ”

"The two of you are serious, Xie Niangzi, with your friendship with me, you don't have to take this little thing to heart," Xiao Zhen was open-minded.

Xie Zheng looked at Xiao Zhen, and then said: "Brother is a rough man, he is not familiar with the rules of etiquette, I heard that he made a lot of jokes in front of His Highness in the morning, and asked His Highness not to laugh." ”

Xiao Zhen knew that Xie Zheng was deliberately explaining to him by saying this, so he praised him indiscriminately, and only said: "Where are you saying this, Xie Langjun is humble and respectful, not like the rough person you say." ”

"It's His Highness who has won the prize. My brother grew up in the countryside since he was a child, and he only knew grains, not articles, and he had never even heard of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, so he was really embarrassed. ”

As she spoke, she lowered her head slightly, picked up the teacup in front of her, and took a sip.

Xie Wei saw Xie Zheng drinking tea, and knew that she was hinting at him, so he said according to the words she taught him when he came to the road: "Yes, I have been stupid since I was a child, I have never been as smart and studious as my sister, and I don't read much. ”

The two of these "brother and sister" played a scene, and it happened to explain Xiao Zhen's suspicions.

Xiao Zhen seemed to believe it or not, but he couldn't ask much, he sneered: "How can anyone belittle themselves like this." ”

Xie Zhenghu took the money bag from Yuzhi's hand, put it on the coffee table, pushed it towards Xiao Zhen, and said: "This is the four hundred and fifty taels of silver that His Royal Highness put on the mat for his brother, and Deyin is now returning it in full." ”

Before the money bag was pushed to Xiao Chen, Xiao Xun stretched out his hand to block it, and he said, "Xie Niangzi, are you too outside?" ”

Xie Zheng disagreed, but said: "Your Highness, you know that Deyin has always disliked to owe favors. ”

"But this money, since Gu has already paid for Xie Langjun, how can he say that he will get it back?" As he spoke, he pushed the money bag to the side of Xie Zheng's right hand, facing Xie Zheng, and he said, "Why don't Xie Langjun take it back." ”

Xie Wei's eyes opened when he saw the money, and when he saw the bulging money bag, his heart suddenly blossomed, how could he care whether Xie Zheng allowed it or not, so he stretched out his hand to take it, Xie Zheng was not easy to stop, so he lowered his face and pretended to be angry with Xiao Zhen, she reprimanded: "Your Highness insists on refusing to accept it, isn't it humiliating Deyin?" ”

Before the words fell, the audience was in an uproar, and Xie Weicai's outstretched hand was silently withdrawn.

Xiao Zhen looked surprised, looked at Xie Zheng in a daze, and then listened to Xie Zheng say: "Deyin thinks that he and His Highness are gentlemen's friends, but I didn't expect His Highness to only regard Deyin as a friend of wine and meat!" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Zhen didn't react for a while, and hesitated for a while before he said in a panic: "Uh, no! You misunderstood, Lone just ......" He panicked and didn't know how to explain to make Xie Zheng dissipate his anger, so he simply stopped talking more, and hurriedly reached out to put the money bag away, holding the money bag with both hands and putting it under the coffee table, he didn't dare to put his hand on the table for a while.

Seeing Xiao Zhen's simple appearance, so cute, Xie Zheng couldn't help laughing, looking at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, although it was just a bland move, but Yingying's smile was charming, and it was really that the pair of peach blossom eyes were too seductive.

Xiao Zhen seemed to be fascinated by her, not only the eyes, but also the face, which was too similar to the old man.

He suddenly stretched out his hand and gently stroked the top of Xie Zheng's head, Xie Zheng smiled with a smile on his face, the smile was no longer there now, and at this moment Xiao Zhen had also withdrawn his hand, only to see that there was an extra acacia flower in his hand.

It turned out that Xie Zheng had a locust flower on his head, and Xiao Zhen took it down for her.

"The friendship of a gentleman is as light as water, but it is not as sincere as the friendship of Erru, it is difficult to find a bosom friend, and a confidant is even rarer," Xiao Zhen stared at Xie Zheng intently, he said that he was indeed sincere, and after that, he stretched out his hands again, covering Xie Zheng's hand holding the tea cup, and then looked at him in his eyes, it was actually a strong affection.

Xie Zheng withdrew his hand quietly, and said lightly: "Today's weather is gloomy, I'm afraid it will rain, and Deyin is inconvenient to stay for a long time, Your Highness, I have taken my leave." ”

She said that, without waiting for Xiao Zhen to respond, she immediately got up and left, and Xie Wei followed behind her.

At that time, Xiao Zhen was still sitting in front of the coffee table, seemingly as stable as Mount Tai, but in fact, he was very flustered, and he didn't know what was wrong with him...... Only......

Xie Zheng walked out of the Xuan Garden, and happened to meet Pei Huizhao here, speaking of which, the two have not seen each other for more than a month, and in this more than a month, Xie Zheng has lost weight, and Pei Huizhao has become mellow.

The two of them saluted separately, and you didn't say a word, so they walked by.

Pei Huizhao looked at Xie Zheng and walked away, thinking in her heart, she looked at Xiao Zhen again, her eyebrows were frowning, and her sad face was even worse.

Yes, she saw it all, she heard it all, what gentleman's friend? What are your friends? I'm afraid sooner or later it will be the turn of a century!

On the way back to the Hou Mansion, Xie Zheng sat in the ox cart, closing his eyes and recuperating, while Xie Wei sat on the side and looked at her, he didn't say anything for a long time, and finally asked, "What does Erru mean by friendship?" ”

Xie Zheng opened his eyes and didn't look at him, but said: "It's about the great friendship between men and women." ”

"Oh," Xie Wei nodded, as if he understood, he was quiet for a while, and then asked, "That prince, is he interested in you?" ”

Xie Zheng glanced at him coldly and said, "Maybe he loves Xie Yu, what does it have to do with me?" ”

"Aren't you Xie Yu?" Xie Wei didn't think about it, blurted out, there was silence in the car for a moment, Xie Zheng looked at him sideways, his eyes were full of killing intent, Xie Wei saw the knife-like gaze, and he was immediately so frightened that he didn't dare to say more.

Xie Zheng was silent for a moment, and only said to Xie Wei: "In the future, you are not allowed to use my name to cause trouble, otherwise, I will abolish your legs." ”

Her tone was very calm when she spoke, and she couldn't hear the slightest anger, but when she said this, the lethality was not small, and Xie Wei only had the choice of nodding in agreement.

The group returned to the Hou Mansion and went straight to the courtyard, and when they entered the courtyard gate, they met a maid, Xie Zheng asked casually: "Cai Qin hasn't come back yet?" ”

The maid shook her head, and then withdrew from the courtyard, Xie Zheng thought about it, and left with the jade branch, and the master and servant went to the courtyard of Huanling.

And Xie Wei entered the courtyard gate, and then walked to the gate of the West Cross Courtyard, but stopped inexplicably, and You Xiao followed closely and also stopped.

Xie Wei glanced back at Xie Zheng's empty courtyard, as if he had moved some crooked thoughts, his two small eyes narrowed slightly, he then touched his stomach and said to You Xiao: "I'm hungry again, you go to the kitchen and bring me something to eat." ”

You Xiao retreated without saying a word, Xie Wei watched him walk away, and then took a closer look at the courtyard, made sure that there was no one around, and then quickly walked to the door of Xie Wei's house, pushed the door and walked in, and brought the door again, acting sneakily.

When the person came out again, he held a few ingots and a red agate palace silk in his hand, and when he closed the door, he hurriedly stuffed it into his sleeve pocket.

This series of actions is like a smooth flow, it is clear that he is not a novice, he hid the stolen goods, coughed lightly, and walked across the courtyard with his head held high, but as soon as he looked up, he saw a small girl standing at the door of the main courtyard, staring at him in surprise.

"Mining...... Celery? ”

Cai Qin said: "It turns out that you have been stealing Xie Niangzi's jewelry!" I...... I'll tell her! ”

After she finished speaking, she turned around and wanted to walk out of the yard, Xie Wei heard that she was going to tell Xie Zheng, she was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat, but she couldn't hold her, so in a panic, she picked up a brick on the ground and smashed it on the back of Cai Qin's head without hesitation.
