There was a hustle and bustle in the market, and it had not yet been transmitted to Zhumenfang, where the powerful gathered.

The concierge of the Wei Mansion was so idle that he was playing with the little maids who were cleaning the courtyard, and when he saw Kong Zhen coming from the horse, he immediately greeted him with a smile, and saw that Kong Zhen's expression was cold and solemn and he hurriedly restrained his smile, and respectfully took the horsewhip and said: "Today, the cabinet is dispersed early, and the lord has not gone out again after returning to the house for lunch, and has been in the study in the outer courtyard." ”

didn't look at Kong Zhen's rough clothes, only when Kong Zhen did things for Wei Xiang in private, he deliberately changed his dress, and obediently took the horses to the stable.

The long-term entourage who met Kong Zhen in the middle of the road also thought so, he was not curious about the clothes and only looked at his face, and patted Kong Zhen's shoulder, "Ah Zhen, what kind of difficult errand did you receive?" Look at the little one, your face is not very good. ”

This person is Wei Xiang's confidant, who is the one who reported to Kong Zhen on the first snow on Chinese New Year's Eve that year.

As soon as Kong Zhen heard his tone, he understood, and he slowed down and answered patiently with a cold face, "What?" The teacher tossed you again? ”

He didn't answer, and he didn't study the answer in depth, and one word seemed to poke the bitterness, and immediately poured bitter water, "The master doesn't know what to think, he doesn't raise flowers or birds, but he thinks of raising ants." Ants are easy to catch, but how to raise them? The little one begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother, which can be regarded as a tossing up method that can make a difference. ”

As he spoke, he looked back at the little guy behind him, pointed to the black cloth carried by the four people, and showed his heart slightly, "There is an ant nest underneath, which can be watched and fed. ”

The four little guys with eight eyes looked at Kong Zhen brightly, and nodded in agreement.

Kong Zhen couldn't help but smile, and the suppressed coldness finally dissipated a little.

Chang Sui looked at it with a smile on his face, stepped into the study first, instructed the little guy to uncover the black cloth and put it on the ant nest, and said: "Master, please look, the little one is fortunate not to be dishonored." ”

Kong Zhen stood aside, and there was only one sentence of the so-called beautiful words, "It's really exquisite." ”

The square glass tank is made narrow and flat, the sand is full, and two percent of the space is poked with the small green trees of the original potted plants, and even a small water tank with a large palm, the ant road in the sand is vertical and horizontal, the bottom is obviously an ant nest, and there is a row of breathable pinholes pierced above, and a small lid can be opened to put food.

An ant mountain, with an unobstructed view, is indeed exquisite.

Wei Wuxian stroked his beard and laughed, seeing that there was something he didn't understand, he took off the purse around his waist and gave a reward, and beckoned Kong Zhen to take a closer look, "Ants shake the tree, and they can't do it." It's about an ant, if you have a companion as a helper and gather a great force, you may not be able to do it. The roots of this little tree must be buried deeply, Ah Zhen, tell me, has this nest of ants shaken the little tree one day? ”

Chang Sui didn't understand, and he didn't intend to understand, so he called the little servant to divide the purse, bowed out and closed the door.

Kong Zhen understood it, turned his head to look at Wei Wuxian's side face, and his tone was a little erratic, "Back then, the sixth prince was in the Ming, and the ants who helped him come up with ideas and tricks were in the dark, and they knocked down the deep-rooted and leafy tree of Feiyuwei in one go, and Second Brother Wei couldn't find out the ant with scheming and damage, and the teacher mentioned it at this time, but he had a clue?" ”

"No clue. Don't check it out. Wei Wuxian replied with a single answer, and his knuckles tapped on the ant mountain, "Mingcheng is in the household department, how many big things to do, and holding on to the ants is putting the cart before the horse." He couldn't find out that he couldn't get home, and the staff had asked me to withdraw back. I'd like to see how far these ants, who like to hide in the ground and burrow in the sand, can go. ”

He raised his chin with interest, motioned for Kong Zhen to sit down, put away the idle chatter and asked, "Something?" ”

Kong Zhen nodded silently, and his steps towards the chair were very slow.

smiled bitterly in his heart, it was not that Wei Mingcheng was not capable of being at home, but that no one could have imagined that the ant who intended to shake the tree was Wei Si, who had become the sixth girl.

Brother Wang Niangzi's drunken words are the starting point, diverging countless lines, which are connected by him into a terrifying truth, once he is suspicious, he finds out the clues collected by Wei Mingcheng, and lists the crimes of Feiyuwei and arouses the people's anger The tabloid of the Jinjuan Academy is impressively listed.

The style of writing is familiar and cordial.

But it is not Wei Si's originality, the unambitious literati pen is playful and unscrupulous, and there are many small officials and officials who dare to write and express, not to mention that the truth is too incredible, except for him, who will unswervingly believe that Wei Si is not dead, but has just changed his identity.

But he wasn't going to say it, and he didn't know where to start.

Sitting on the chair and looking up to the side, he looked at Wei Wuxie's voice in a slightly astringent tone, "The owner behind the Chigu Pavilion has nothing to do with Prince Kang's Mansion and Prince Rui's Mansion, which are responsible for part of the supply, and the newly promoted Li shopkeeper is one of the companions of the Six Princes' concubines and the Great Li Family." can hide so deep and for so long, the Great Li family does not have this ability, and the real owner is undoubtedly the Six Princes. ”

Wei Wuxie raised his eyebrows, only then did he pay attention to Kong Zhen's dress, shook his head and smiled: "It seems that your skills have not arrived at home." The nails have been scattered for three years, and now you have to disguise yourself to find out that it is the Six Princes behind it? ”

Not only the six princes, but also the six girls.

Kong Zhen became more and more astringent, unable to explain what he had done today, so he let Wei Wuxian misunderstand, and only asked along the way, "Naixiang Pavilion is Wei Si's hard work, can you bear to be squeezed and defeated by others?" ”

"An An is naughty but measured, I never care about the two of you secretly making business. Keeping Naikakaku is just a thought. Wei Wuxian was neither surprised nor cared about, as if he was unimpressed by Chu Yanqing's secret targeting, "The business can't rob the other party, so it can only be said that An An is gone, and Naixiang Pavilion is exhausted." If I confront the six princes because of this, it is also called putting the cart before the horse. ”

As he spoke, he smashed the snacks on the table, got up and paced back to Ant Mountain, sprinkled some crumbs, and smiled at the ants swarming out of the sand to carry food, "Knock down Feiyuwei, cut off one of my arms, squeeze Naixiang Pavilion, and shake one of the financial ways on Wei Jiaming's face." What does the Six Princes and his ants want to do, and how will they do it, aren't you curious at all? I think it's funny. ”

Kong Zhen believed that Wei Wuxian had his own considerations, and he also believed that Wei Wuxie's open-mindedness was not conceited, but at the moment, this self-confidence made him have a hard time, his lips closed for a long time, and finally he only said: "Instead of letting Nai Xiangge fail, it is better to close it as soon as possible and leave some dignity." ”

"That's fine. It's up to you. Wei Wuxian closed the small cover of Ant Mountain, turned his head to look at Kong Zhen, who was sitting stiffly, and there was pity and helplessness in his eyes, "Those who have achieved great things are not informal." Naikakaku is open or closed, and it is not worth being tempted. If you want to keep this thought, just transfer the Naikaku to your name, and dispose of it as you like in the future. I think your wife is happy to see that. ”

Kong Zhen was silent.

Wei Wuxian knew that he was acquiescing, clapped his hands and wiped away the crumbs from his fingertips, and saw that the elder went back with him, "Master, the concierge just got the news, the sixth prince suddenly returned to Beijing, and he has brought the elders of all departments into the palace to see His Majesty. ”

"It seems that the rumors are true, and the six princes are in a hurry to get married." Wei Wuxian squinted and smiled, not paying attention to Kong Zhen's stiff expression for a moment, "The emperor didn't go to Xiyuan for summer vacation this year, it seems that he is planning to go to Baoding Palace." ”

The palace was repaired for three years, spending countless dollars, and it was located in an important place in Beizhili, so the emperor was not the master who just spent money to enjoy.

"Going to Baoding for summer vacation is one, and ordering the military aircraft department to inspect the guard is two, the emperor is planning to rectify the military affairs of various places." Wei Wuxian picked up the official hat, sent the chief to prepare the official sedan chair, and drove Kong Zhen away, "I'll go to the palace to see you." While you have not been ordered to go out of Beijing for inspection, accompany your wife more. Today, you are resting, and she also asked where you have been. ”

Kong Zhen got up, and watched Wei Wuxian walk away before raising his feet to go to the backyard.

Chen was asking the eldest girl to write a gift list, and when he saw Kong Zhen, he first asked for warmth, and then sighed, "The Yasukuni Mansion just sent someone to report the good news." Xu Shizi already has a daughter, and now the wife of the prince who is remarried has good news, and she sees that she is going to add Ding again. You and Xu Shizi are the same age, and it is long overdue to consider marriage. ”

Pei's housewife, who is a housewife, never makes mistakes in human relations, and the family who should report the good news does not fall behind regardless of relatives.

The Chen family prepared the salute according to the number of courtesies, and pulled Kong Zhen to persuade in a low voice, "The eldest girl is already the wife of the prince, you can no longer worry about the rejection of the marriage proposal back then." I treat you and Mingzhong the same way, I just hope that you will let go of your past and marry a wife and have children as soon as possible......"

"Master." Kong Zhen interrupted Chen's words and stared at Chen's expression with a good eye, "Have you ever thought about leaving the sad place of the capital and finding a small place with clear mountains and rivers to spend your days?" ”

Chen Shi didn't feel abrupt, but his eyes were slightly red, "No matter how sad it is, it is also a place where life is safe and peaceful." Where can I go without this? Could it be that if I leave the capital and change places, I will be able to forget that An An is not sad? ”

Red eyes and laughed again, "What's more, the master is here, Mingzhong is here, and the daughters-in-law and grandchildren are here, and I can't let go of one person's concern." Even if I can leave, I won't leave. ”

She only coaxed her to be happy, smiling lovingly and happily.

Kong Zhen couldn't hold the corners of his mouth in response.

Wei Si was right, he actually knew that Wei Si was right.

The plan to rob Nian Liu and take Wei Si away is actually sad and ridiculous.

Wei Si said that he had no choice at all when he waited for good news.

Kong Zhen looked at Chen's fixedly, his eyes were full of Chen's loving smile that was sad but satisfied with the status quo, that smile had the regret of losing his beloved daughter, and also the firmness of his family, he suddenly pulled out his hand and stood up, almost running away, "Master, you are busy, I won't bother, I'll come to see you another day." ”

It just so happened that the little maid came to report that the girls had woken up from a nap, and Chen immediately put his mind on his grandchildren, and did not notice Kong Zhen's uncontrollable abnormality.

Kong Zhen, who was walking quickly away from the main courtyard, stopped in vain and smashed his fist on the trunk of a tree on the side of the road.

More than a month ago, the Wei family had just completed the three-year festival of Wei Si.

In the past three years, what haunts him at midnight is either hazy dreams or chaotic memories.

Finally, he no longer has to go back and forth between the two.

Nian Liu is not Nian Liu, but Wei Si.

Flesh and blood are the reality that he has at his fingertips.

He thought it was very close to him, but it was actually very far away.

Far away from so many people and things that make him powerless and uncontrollable.

What else could he choose?

The Wei family, Wei Si, he can't force any of them.

He also did not want to persecute.

Kong Zhen's fist clenched his hand tightened, loosened, and he was tired of pain over and over again, and finally fell and smashed his bleeding hand, and his weak murmur was inaudible, "Wei Si...... I've never been as ruthless as you......"

Nian Qian'an, who was said to be ruthless by Kong Zhen, returned to the princess's mansion, and as soon as he stepped into the Qifang Pavilion, he sneezed a huge one, and the muttering sound was clearly audible, "Which one is full and scolding me behind my back?" ”

"An itchy nose isn't necessarily a bad thing, maybe it's a distinguished guest?" After laughing, Yuan Shan continued to laugh: "Isn't it a distinguished guest?" Mother Xu is here. ”

In the small hall of Qifang Pavilion, a figure left his seat to salute, without looking at his face, just looking at the characteristic hairstyle that was huge and round, he knew that it was Xu's mother.

Nian Qian'an rubbed his nose and entered the house, "Why did Mother Xu come in person?" ”

"I just came from Wei Mansion and went to Ronghua Courtyard to meet Mrs. Yu and Princess Anhe, so I wanted to come to Qifang Pavilion to ask the six girls for a cup of good tea." Mother Xu's tone was affectionate, and she said with a smile: "The slave maid is ordered by Mrs. to report the good news to each family." ”

Nian Qian'an suddenly realized, and counted with his fingers: Nian Ganran was officially three months pregnant, and only his family and close relatives knew about it, but now it was time to publicize it.

Pei's work is not leaky, the Duke of Yasukuni and Wei's father are officials in the same dynasty, and they are Kong Zhen's direct boss, no wonder the Wei family wants to work Xu's mother to go on a trip in person.

Ordinary people come and go, Nian Qian'an is not good to ask the Wei family, and only asks Xu's mother, "Mom has something to do with me?" ”
