"Big girl." At this time, Wisteria came over with a thick account book and said, "The slave has made a book of the New Year's gifts that I have recently received from various prefectures. ”

Duanmujun casually flipped through the account book, turning one page and skipping two pages...... Wisteria is now doing things safely, and Duanmu Jun is also at ease, that is, it is roughly overturned.

Suddenly, Duanmujun's hand froze, and his gaze fell on a certain page of the account book.

This page records the gift list sent by the Feng family.

Duanmu frowned slightly, and turned another page.

Judging from the gift list, the Feng family sent a very generous New Year's gift this time.

Since the horse Feng got "hysteria", the last year has been closed in the Feng Mansion, the emperor seems to have the intention of angering the Feng family, so that the rest of the Feng family is not allowed to be reused. Other mansions are accustomed to observing words and feelings, and most of them deliberately alienated the Feng family, and the Feng family was cold this year.

The Feng family is obviously not as good as a year.

Duanmujun also knew that Anping's mother and son had not interacted with the Feng family over the years, and they were obviously not on good terms with each other. She muttered and said to Duanmu Fei: "Zhen Zhen, the next time you see Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, talk to her, and the Feng family has sent a generous gift." ”

Although the Feng family is Feng Yan's father's family, after her sister marries, she must have lived in the princess's mansion with Princess Anping, so her attitude towards the Feng family is just to follow Anping.

Duanmu Fei raised his head from the inkstone and responded obediently, looking like "I listen to my sister".

Duanmujun couldn't help but raise his hand to rub the top of his sister's hair again, thinking that his sister was about to get married, and he was reluctant to give up.

Looking at this pair of inkstones, Duanmu Fei's hands were a little itchy, and he ordered: "Jinse, pen and ink are waiting!" ”

She couldn't wait to try this pair of inkstones, no matter how good things were, they always had to be used.

Jin Se was about to respond, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door curtain, and then the door curtain was rudely lifted from the outside, and Bi Cicada hurriedly ran in, and said: "Girl, Mochi just came back to report that the eldest young master and people were fighting in Pingyang Street in the west of the city!" ”

There was silence in the small study for a moment, and several maids looked at each other.

Bi Chan continued: "The slave maid only listened to a rough idea, it seems that the eldest young master and the classmates of the Guozijian somehow clashed with those people from the northwest tribe, and a group of people fought. ”

Duanmujun and Duanmufei both looked shocked, and at this time, they didn't have the heart to think about it, so the sisters put on their cloaks and hurried out.

For fear that Duanmu Heng would be bullied, the sisters also brought seven or eight guards to strengthen their momentum.

When they arrived at Binh Duong Street, the two sides were still facing each other.

On one side were seven or eight young girls from the northwestern tribes, mainly the lords of Heru and Roland, and their retinues; On the other side were several young people, including Duanmu Heng and Tao Zihuai, and to Duanmu Fei's surprise, Feng Yan, Li Tingyou and some people from the Five Cities Terracotta Division were also there.

From a distance, the two centaurs glared at each other, and sparks seemed to flash in the air.

When passers-by on the street saw that there were people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, they were so frightened that they avoided it, lest they be implicated.

As a result, there seemed to be an invisible barrier between the two sides and the onlookers-by, leaving a distance of seven or eight feet.

When the Duanmu family's carriage drove to this empty area, it was particularly eye-catching.

Of course, Duanmu Heng recognized this own carriage, and even knew that this was Duanmu Heng's carriage and Duanmu Fei's carriage, so he couldn't help frowning. What is the little girl's family doing here, what if she gets hurt by mistake?!

Feng Yan's eyes lit up and he was radiant. He didn't care about the Lord of Roland anymore, so he ran over and diligently helped Duanmu Fei out of the carriage.

Li Tingyou looked at Feng Yan, who was completely different in front of his little fox cousin, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

Duanmujun and Duanmufei walked over briskly under the burning gaze of everyone.

Duanmu Fei only didn't see Duanmu Heng's disapproving eyes, and simply asked Li Tingyou: "Cousin You, what's going on?" ”

Li Tingyou's eyes were burning, with a hint of eagerness, but his face was smiling politely, and he told the ins and outs of the matter.

Today afternoon, Duanmuheng and Tao Zihuai had just returned to Beijing from Qianya Garden, and they met the Roland brothers and sisters and others on this Pingyang Street, and were stopped by the lord of Roland. Because Duanmu Heng and the others led the errand of the Li Fan Academy, they thought that they didn't know if there was something wrong, so they stopped.

The lord of Roland County commanded Duanmu Heng to clear the way for them, saying that they were going to play horse racing on this street.

However, Duanmu Heng has always had his own principles, what should be done, he will do it, and what should not be done by him, he will not accept it, so he directly refused.

The lord of Roland County was originally deliberately provoking, for the last time Duanmu Heng reprimanded her in Xuefang Garden, he intended to teach Duanmu Heng a lesson, Duanmu Heng's refusal gave her the opportunity to play on the topic, saying that he wanted to let the Li Fan Yuan dismiss Duanmu Heng's errand.

Duanmu Heng reprimanded the lord of Roland County according to the scriptures, and she was so angry that she whipped again, but Li Tingyou happened to see it.

Li Tingyou snatched the whip of the lord of Roland, which caused the dissatisfaction of Heru and several other people in the northwestern tribe, and the two sides quarreled.

As for Feng Yan, he arrived less than half a cup of tea earlier than Duanmu Fei.

It was still because the soldiers and horses of the five cities who patrolled here recognized Duanmu Heng as their boss's brother-in-law, and while joining the battle, they quickly sent someone back to inform Feng Yan.

When Feng Yan arrived here, the two parties had just finished fighting, and Heru's hairband was broken by Li Tingyou's whip, and at this moment he was wearing a drape, with a hint of embarrassment in his roughness.

The people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division were also more or less embarrassed, but after all, both sides were still worried about each other's identities, and they only had a small fight.

"Big brother, your hand ......"

Duanmu Fei only looked Duanmu Heng up and down, and at a glance, he saw that there was a scrape on the back of Duanmu Heng's left hand, which seemed to have been scratched by someone's whip......

When Duanmu Heng heard her say this, he felt a tingling pain on the back of his hand, lowered his head to look at his left hand, and smiled open-mindedly, "It's just a little bruise." ”

Duanmu Scarlet Sakura pursed her lips, unconcealing the displeasure in her eyes, she was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her eyes were round, and she was about to explode.

Feng Yan saw that his own Zhenzhen was angry, and his heart became more and more unhappy, so he directly waved his hand and ordered: "Give these people who are picking provocations and provoking trouble to this commander and bring them back to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses!" ”

Yes?! The group of the Northwest Tribe, led by Heru and Roland, were dumbfounded, and then exploded.

During the period of time after they came to the capital, they had been treated as guests of honor with good food and drink, and they didn't expect that they would become prisoners at all.

A tribal young man in a royal blue brocade robe stepped forward, his face flushed with anger, and blurted out: "You dare?!" ”

Lord Roland also looked at Feng Yan in disbelief.

Feng Yan glanced at the young man of the tribe, and still smiled casually, "If you dare to make trouble in the capital, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division will take care of it, and they will all be escorted back to me!" ”

Feng Yan's clear and arrogant voice resounded all around, with the unique flamboyance and spirit of a young man.

"Yes, Commander." Several young people from the Five Cities Terracotta Division heard that their morale was even higher, and they responded in unison, and they all sharpened their knives one by one.

Their five-city soldiers and horses are not afraid of heaven and earth, and whoever dares to offend them will be cleaned up!

The people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division rushed up violently, wanting to take people.

And these young people of the Northwest tribe are also strong-blooded, where they will obediently tie their hands and arrest them, they will also face each other, or whip, or draw knives, or hand-to-hand combat......

Twenty or so men scuffled with each other, shouting, fighting, and snorting, and a scuffle opened up in the street, and there was a chaos of chickens and dogs.

Feng Yan didn't just watch, and personally took the lead. As soon as he made a move, he immediately appeared, and the knife in the scabbard was not even out of the sheath, so he directly used the scabbard and fist to knock Heru and the tribal youth in the royal blue brocade robe down three or two times.

Li Tingyou and the rest of the Five Cities Terracotta Division were also imposing, and they controlled these people from the Northwest Tribes without a single cup of tea.

"Brothers, tie them all up." Li Tingyou has been detained in the household department for so long, and he was so excited that he almost revealed his true nature, and it was not until he finished shouting that he immediately remembered something, and immediately looked polite again.

A few men from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division took out a long hemp rope from the bag on the horse's back and tied the people up with great interest.

Suddenly, there was a warm applause and cheers all around, like waves of the sea.

Duanmu Fei was also applauding desperately, feeling that this matter was really done too beautifully.

In Feng Yan's opinion, Zhen Zhen's applause naturally belonged to her, and she smiled complacently.

He lowered his voice and whispered to Duanmu Fei biting his ear: "Zhen Zhen, I heard Qin Tianjian say that it will snow tonight, do you want to come to the princess's mansion tomorrow to enjoy the snow and plum blossoms......" It was rare to meet Zhen Zhen outside, and Feng Yan naturally wanted to seize the opportunity to be courteous.

Thinking of Merlin in the princess's mansion, Duanmu forgot about the cold for a moment and nodded straight.

Li Tingyou and the others glanced around half a circle when they heard the sound, only to find that the people who had been far away had moved closer to this side, and they all clapped their palms excitedly.

Where did Li Tingyou and those people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division see this scene, and they were dumbfounded. This, this, this...... Is this something going on that they don't know?!

"Lord Qingtian," an old man in Tsing Yi took a few steps forward, raised his hand and pointed at Heru and his party, "these people should be in prison, since they came to the capital, they have been causing trouble all day long, and they will roll up their sleeves to beat people at every turn...... Where did we little people get offended! ”

"Yes, yes!" Another middle-aged shopkeeper walked out from a restaurant next to him, "Yesterday, there was a group of people who said that the wine in our restaurant was mixed with water, and it was tasteless, so they smashed the wine jar in it, scaring our guests away!" ”

“……”

Those people dared to be angry before, but at this moment, seeing that the Five Cities Terracotta Division was in charge of them, they all stood up and reprimanded one by one, and even called out several times "Qingtian Lord" Yunyun, which made these Wucheng Terracotta Division's gentlemen quite unaccustomed to it, their Five Cities Terracotta Division has always been disgusted with cats and dogs in the capital, and this is the first time it has been praised by people.

It's a strange feeling......

The people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division were all walking lightly, and some people quietly pinched their thighs to see if they were dreaming.

And the tribal boys with their hands tied behind their backs and tied into a string of grasshoppers also felt like they were in a dream.

It's just a nightmare.

They really want to be locked up, this matter is so big, I'm afraid they can't hide it...... What will happen to their fathers when they find out? I'm afraid I won't spare them, right?!

Among them, the most ugly face is the Lord of Roland.

Because Duanmu Heng was disrespectful, she was just teaching the other party a lesson, and she was the same when she was in the northwest, she never felt that there was anything wrong with what she did, but she didn't expect to plant such a big heel in the capital today.

"County Lord, offended." A young man from the Five Cities Terracotta Division said insincerely, and started to tie up the Lord of Roland.

The lord of Roland County was unwilling to be humiliated, and wanted to call Feng Yan: "Feng ......"

However, Feng Yan, who had his back to her, only felt extremely noisy, and casually interrupted Lord Roland, and instructed his junior disciples: "Bring everyone back to the yamen and lock them up!" ”

The people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division responded to the peace, like driving Heru and his party forward, and the passers-by around them still lingered, pointing at these people from the northwest tribe, and they felt quite relieved one by one......

However, Tao Zihuai frowned disapprovingly.

Huang Enhao ordered these northwestern tribes to come to the capital to celebrate the New Year, which was a happy event, and to promote the prestige of the imperial court to these border tribes.

This feudal commander made the situation like this and imprisoned Heru and them, which is simply dishonoring the prestige of the court and losing the face of the emperor!

Thinking about it, Tao Zi's face sank like water.

Feng Yan, a noble son who only cares about his own selfishness and does whatever he wants, Tao Zihuai has always looked down on him, and he is too lazy to meddle in his own affairs on weekdays, just sit back and watch Feng Yan die by himself, but today's matter, he is also present.

I am working in the Lifan Academy, once the matter is big, I will definitely be implicated, and maybe it will affect my career in the future......

The more Tao Zihuai thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he could no longer sit idly by.

But among the people present, he only knew Duanmu Heng, so he could only persuade Duanmu Heng loudly: "Brother Duanmu, there is a way, harmony is precious, I think this matter is better to take a step back...... lest the harmony between the tribes of the northwest and the imperial court be ruined. "Anyway, Feng Yan has taught these Northwest people a lesson, so it's better to stop in moderation.

Feng Yan naturally heard it too, and raised his eyebrows with a smile.

"Brother Tao's words are wrong." Duanmu Heng retorted solemnly, "There is one thing to say, today it was the other party who first attacked and hurt people unreasonably, if we let it go and blindly retreat, this is the majesty of the imperial court!" ”

Tao Zihuai thought that his attitude was tactful, but he didn't expect Duanmu Heng to be so inflexible and aggressive...... I don't listen to other people's good advice at all.

"Brother Tao rest assured," Duanmu Heng Zhengse said again, "All the consequences of this matter will be borne by me alone, and Brother Tao will not be implicated." ”

"......" Tao Zihuai's eyes became darker and deeper, and his heart was surging.

How could this not implicate him!

Once the incident happens, Duanmu Heng has his own Duanmu Shoufu to protect him, and when the time comes, maybe all the sins will be pushed on himself, and he will be the scapegoat to calm the anger of the Northwest tribes.

Tao Zihuai secretly gritted his back molars, tried to calm down, and said with a smile: "What Brother Duanmu said is true." ”

Then, he arched his hand at Duanmu Heng and said with a smile: "Brother Duanmu, I still have something to do, so I'll go first." ”

He had to hurry up to the Lifan Yuan to report this matter to Wu Shangshu, so that he had to clear up the relationship.

Duanmu Heng had a good temperament, but he was not stupid, he could see Tao Zihuai's intentions at a glance, but he didn't stop it, and said lightly: "Brother Tao, take care of yourself." ”

Tao Zihuai pulled his horse, turned over on the horse, and then grabbed the horse's belly and galloped away.

Duanmu Heng stood in place, staring at his distant back moment, and slowly looked away.

At this time, those people of the Northwest tribe had disappeared around the corner in front of them.

Duanmu Heng retracted his gaze and was about to say something, when he saw Duanmu Fei pulling his left hand and said thoughtfully: "Big brother, your hand is injured, let's go back quickly." ”

After a pause, she said goodbye to Feng Yan again: "Feng Gongzi, you still have official business, let's go back first." ”

Looking at Duanmu Fei's well-behaved and caring little appearance, Duanmu Heng was not only happy in his heart, but also a little entangled: his fourth sister is really proud...... It's worrying again.

Feng Yan looked at Duanmu Fei reluctantly, and said again: "Zhen Zhen, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning." Feng Yan said as he said secretly in his heart: He must do it beautifully this time, how can he please Zhen Zhen!

After Duanmu Heng also said goodbye to Feng Yan and Li Tingyou, he was about to get on the horse, but was called by two voices:

"Ah Heng."

"Big brother."

Duanmujun and Duanmufei looked at Duanmu Heng with disapproving eyes, with small faces, at this moment the sisters looked serious and dignified, and their appearance was surprisingly similar.

"......" Duanmu Heng didn't have a chance to speak at all, so he was pushed into the carriage by the sisters half-pushed and half-on-the-spot.

Li Tingyou watched this scene from the sidelines, laughing so much that his stomach hurt. His cousin is old-fashioned and stern, and it is the first time he has seen him look like he has no problem with others. Interesting.

When the sisters got into the carriage, the carriage went away to the sound of the coachman's whip.

The excitement is over.

The street gradually became noisy again, and passers-by came and went, relishing what had just happened, as if even the howling cold wind was not so cold.

Duanmu Heng was escorted back to Duanmu Mansion by the sisters, and was sent back to his Chenfeng Zhai.

Duanmufei asked a few maids to prepare clean water and take the medicine for the wound given by the imperial doctor before. She personally cleaned the wound on the back of Duanmuheng's hand, dressed the wound medicine, and bandaged it with gauze.

Although Duanmu Fei didn't know medical skills, when she was in Ningjiang Palace before, Imperial Physician Yu personally bandaged her several times, so she painted a gourd in the same way, and carefully wrapped Duanmu Heng into a chubby "pig's trotter" with three layers inside and three layers outside, and transferred all the medical instructions given to her by Imperial Doctor Yu to Duanmu Heng word for word, such as not being wet until the wound heals, not eating spicy food, not eating soy sauce, and not holding a pen...... Eat a light diet, eat more vegetables and fruits, and rest more.

Duanmujun always felt that what his sister said was reasonable, and specially told Duanmuheng's little servant again: "Ink pool, you have to keep an eye on the eldest young master." ”

Mo Chi replied again and again, both afraid and glad: "Young Master, fortunately, you didn't hurt your right hand. ”

Duanmu smiled and said, "Big brother, I'll come back at night to change your dressing." She smiled both well-behaved and sly, as if to say, big brother, I will keep an eye on you.

"......" Duanmu Heng looked at his left hand that was wrapped like a steamed bun, and was a little nerve-wracking: although this does not hinder writing, it does hinder reading. It's been a hassle these days.

"Ah Heng, Zhen Zhen, I asked Wisteria to get some porridge and snacks from the kitchen......"

Duanmujun was about to beckon them to have some afternoon tea, when a maid hurriedly opened the curtain and came in.

"The eldest young master," the maid curtsied to Duanmu Heng and said, "Wu Shangshu from the Li Fan Yuan sent someone over, saying that he wanted to invite the eldest young master to go to the Li Fan Yuan......

There was silence in the room.

Wu Shangshu sent someone to find Duanmu Heng at this time, and the three people in the room knew that there must be Tao Zihuai's "credit" in this.

When she was on Pingyang Street just now, Duanmu Fei saw Tao Zihuai's intentions, but because Duanmu Heng didn't say anything, she didn't care.

The eldest brother will enter the officialdom sooner or later, and he can't let others decide everything for him. Moreover, the eldest brother is the eldest grandson of Shoufu, even if Wu Shangshu is really dissatisfied with him because of today's events, at most, he will not pay attention to the chores of the clan from now on, and it will not have any other impact.

"Big brother walk slowly."

Duanmu sent Duanmu Heng away with a smile, and returned to Zhanqing Courtyard with Duanmu Jun.

When Duanmu Heng returned to the house an hour later, the sun had already set.

He went directly to see Duanmu Xian, and the news he brought back did not surprise Duanmu Fei-

"Grandfather, Master Wu told me not to go to the Lifan Academy in the future."

Duanmu Xian, who was leisurely drinking tea, also responded, and didn't say anything more.

This capital is not big, it is not small, as early as before Duanmuxian returned to the house, Duanmuxian already roughly knew the turmoil that happened on Pingyang Street, and after returning to the house, he asked Duanmufei in detail, and he knew it.

Originally, the errand of the Lifan Academy was a trivial matter, just to let Duanmu Heng experience the officialdom in advance, and he also went for several days, and he never went, so it didn't hurt if he didn't go in the future.

However, his grandson's hand was injured because of this, and he couldn't stop there!

Duanmu Xian's gaze quickly glanced at Duanmu Heng's bandaged left hand, and narrowed his eyes quietly.

The princes and princes of the tribes in Qianyayuan soon learned the news that their children were imprisoned, and they were directly stupid.

The soldiers and horses of the five cities were very arrogant, and they all declared solemnly and solemnly that the young people of these tribes gathered at the foot of the imperial city to make trouble, and that the Son of Heaven had committed the same crime as the common people, and that he must be punished with a small punishment and a big warning in order to set an example.

The princes of those northwestern tribes wanted to see the emperor, but the emperor was sick and still did not go to the court and did not see anyone, and all political affairs were handed over to the celebrant and the cabinet.

Cen is incognito as the eunuch of the master of ceremonies and the governor of Dongchang Factory all the year round in the inner court, not anyone who wants to see it, they can only start from the inside, and run to the first assistant Duanmuxian to intercede, as a result, Duanmuxian, the old fox, simply played Tai Chi with them, going around, but not answering the phone head-on, those princes really have nothing to do with him, and went to find a few other elders.

Although there are also several ministers in the cabinet who disagree with Duanmuxian, Duanmuxian has always been comfortable dealing with political opponents, and he has been making trouble for most of the day without results.

Before you know it, the sun sets, the sky is dark, and night falls.

Everyone discussed that they had to plan again tomorrow morning, but when the princes of those tribes came to the west gate, they found that they could not get out.

"Open the city gate quickly, we will get out of the city!"

Gilles, the patriarch of the Baichuan clan on a tall horse, shouted to the city gate guards in a rough voice, and his face could not hide the irritability and exhaustion after experiencing the bad weather of this day.

The two city gate guards glanced at them lightly, thinking that these remote tribes didn't understand the rules and didn't bother to bother with them.

Mr. Men Qian walked down from the top of the city gate along the stone steps, and said loudly: "Several princes, according to the laws of Dasheng, the gate of the capital is closed at sunset, unless there is an edict from the emperor, the city gate must not be opened until the next day!" "He looks like he's doing business.

Gilles didn't expect to eat another soft nail here, and this afternoon, they were scurrying around like headless flies, and everything was not going well.

Several other princes in the rear also looked at each other.

After they came to Beijing, the emperor has been sending people to entertain them, and this is the first time they have encountered such a thing, and it is the first time that someone has told them about the laws and regulations.
