Chu Huaixian had lunch in the study and took a nap. got up and went into Xi'er to deliver a dossier, and whispered: "This is not taken from the Ministry of Punishment and the palace, this is taken from the Ministry of Officials." Childe looks at it, take this thing, the slave is much more secretive. ”

The pale yellow dossier was placed on the black bookcase, and the color alone showed that it had a year. Chu Huaixian was heartbroken for Lord Du's words; For the words of Lord Xi, I was on my heart again.

At this time, although he really wanted to see it, in front of the minion, and in front of the henchman minion, Chu Huaixian only said a faint "um", and said to Jin Xi'er: "It seems that there is a little snow, take out the plum vase with blue and white on the white ground, and pick a good plum blossom in the room." ”

Jin Xi'er took out the plum bottle, and it was a plum-bellied plum bottle with a height of more than a foot. Afraid that others would not know the child's preferences, Jin Xi'er went to pick a plum branch by herself. Chu Huaixian sat in the room and asked Duoshou to study the ink, but he still hadn't touched the dossier yet. People look out at random, as if they are waiting for this plum blossom.

Jin Xi'er, who knows the son best, inserted this plum blossom with his heart, and put it on the high table of rosewood. Wait for the son to nod and go out only after entering Xi'er. Childe is used to it, the more important the matter, the more faint the face. Jin Xi'er thought that the dossier must be related to the Gong family.

Duoshou has studied ink, and what Chu Huaixian held in his hand was the article of Degongzi sent by Xiao Chu. Duoshou grinned and said to Childe: "Master De can get Childe's guidance, no wonder Mr. Yesterday praised him." ”

"Oh, is there such a thing?" Chu Huaixian was casually flipping through the article in his hand. Duoshou learned to Childe: "Mr. said that Son's recent articles have been much smoother. Chu Huaixian, who was watching, smiled, this kind of compliment was bought for money. This Aunt Zhang is a Shinto person, and it makes sense that her grandmother has never liked her.

Put the article down, Chu Huaixian still felt that everything didn't make sense. Aunt Zhang thought of Xiao Chu again, Childe recently asked Xia Lu to look at Xiao Chu, but he didn't want Xiao Chu to become Aunt Zhang. But thinking that Xiao Chu won't be like that, her favorite thing is to be reckless, showing that she can support herself barehanded.

Thinking of this, Chu Huaixian took the file in his hand and read it carefully. Duoshou has gone out, and the fragrance of plum wafts in the room. Chu Huaixian took a closer look at it under the window, and then he understood in his heart. It's not just understandable, it's as clear as a mirror.

The concubine was seriously ill that year, two young princes died of illness, and two eunuchs died...... Chu Huaixian looked down at the people who were involved in this case in the palace ten years ago. This look is clear again, it turned out to be Lord Xi.

No wonder he specially ran to say the dossier, Chu Huaixian patted his forehead, I was confused. Lord Xi is an insider who knows the case back then, and he doesn't dare to say the truth in his heart, so to speak. In the case of the Gong family, Lord Xi should be able to protect from it.

"Enter Xi'er," Chu Huaixian called the little guy in; "Please Chen Fuyin come to enjoy the plum blossoms and drink in the evening." Jin Xi'er agreed and went out. Chu Huaixian continued to read the file, and the concubine lingered on the sickbed for a year before leaving, so that no one doubted it. And Lord Xi? Chu Huaixian's eyes appeared in front of the emperor's younger brother King Liang again.

The concubine and the queen mother are excellent, and the emperor also has the power of King Liang. No wonder the Gong family committed a crime, the loser went to prison, and there were no dead people in prison. At that time, Chu Huaixian felt that someone should go back to protect the Gong family, and now it seems to be clear. Lord Xi should have protected the Gong family back then, so as not to find out about this case in his lifetime, and His Royal Highness King Liang must investigate it to the end.

Fortunately, he sent a letter to his father, and Chu Huaixian paced in the room until Jin Xi'er came back. "Lord Chen likes it so much, he said that he would come to the knife at night."

Chu Huaixian smiled faintly: "Go and prepare wine and dishes, and open a jar of good Jinhua wine." He turned around and went to the bookcase, put away the file, and prepared to read it again in the evening. Next to the dossier is the article of Master De, Chu Huaixian looked at it again, he still frowned, and he couldn't get through it everywhere.

The light snow drifted into the evening, and an official sedan chair stopped in front of the Chu family, and Lord Chen got off the sedan chair with a smile on his face and came in, counting the time to lead the way in front of Jin Xi'er, who was waiting in the gatehouse: "Your Excellency, please." ”

Mrs. Chen was dressed in reed-colored plain clothes, and when he came in, he praised the fragrance of plum blossoms, and then smiled at Jin Xi'er so that his eyes were not slit: "Let me have a drink in plain clothes, I might as well obey my fate if I am respectful." Jin Xi'er smiled and talked to him: "Childe enjoyed the plum blossoms today, and thought about it for a long time and said that he hadn't seen the adult for a long time, so he asked the little Baba to invite the adult to come." The day was just starting to be cold, and it was so cold that people couldn't stand it, so adults would eat a few more cups to get rid of the cold, and it would be warmer on the way back. ”

Hearing these flattering words, Lord Chen's eyes narrowed even more. Jin Xi'er was polite because he was a guest of the son, and Lord Chen knew that the prime minister was a seven-grade official, and he didn't dare to slack off on Jin Xi'er.

The second lady who came out of the old lady stopped in the corner of the wall, recognized it carefully, and sneered. Back to the room to see the second master: "The son asked for wine and food at night, it turned out that he invited Master Chen." At noon, I asked Xiao Chu what she had lately, and she dared to say no. ”

The second master of Chu called Guo Xing quietly: "Go to the son's study and tell him that the eldest master will come back after stopping for half a month." Just say that I said it, and let him sort out his homework. And who are the people he invites in his study? ”

Guo Xing went back and told the second master and the second lady: "Only Lord Chen is alone in enjoying plum blossoms with his son." The second master waved his hand to let Guo Xing out, and the second lady pouted: "You see, where Xiao Chu has the ability, it is all the son behind him." Second Master Chu frowned and thought: "This year ago, I didn't hear anything related to flowers and plants in and outside Beijing. ”

"There are still two months left for the New Year, so don't you need to celebrate the New Year?" The second lady said, and the second master Chu shook his head: "I can't see how much Huaixian cares, if he cares, Huang Xiaohou's mansion will only repair the garden, and he won't use it from someone else." ”

The second lady rubbed her chest, only feeling panicked: "You have been dizzy recently, I say something and you refute it." Then tell me, what is Huaixian inviting Master Chen for? ”

The second master of Chu, who also had doubts, was displeased: "He is also old enough to make friends, and you still have to take care of his meals at home." If you want to take care of it, send him a few good dishes as soon as possible. Don't assume you don't know. ”

The husband and wife quarreled a few more words, and the second wife reluctantly shouted: "Go to the kitchen and ask for a few of the son's favorite dishes and send them to the study." ”

Xiao Chu didn't know that Chu Huaixian was treating her in the study, she was not on duty at night, and she was laughing with Xiaoyi and Lotus. A new large brazier in the room was burning, and Xiao Chu was thoughtful on the couch. Childe expresses his kindness at any time, sometimes like a spider spinning silk, the feeling of entanglement.

"Xiao Chu, I want to discuss with you, I'll talk to you." Lotus was taking a pair of soles of her shoes, and said to Xiao Chu without looking up: "It's not that I'm lazy, my parents are coming to Beijing with a letter, and I want to talk to you even if I do more things." ”

Xiao Chu liked the lotus: "It's a good thing for uncles and aunts to come, but you and me, I have to ask the son." Lotus helped the thimble in her hand and said, "If you ask Childe, he will definitely say yes." Xiaoyi was triumphant: "Whatever my sister said, my son said it was good." Xiao Chu was embarrassed, and Xiao Yi added: "But my sister never talks nonsense, so the son will say yes." If my sister mentions this today and that tomorrow like everyone else, Childe won't say yes. ”

Lotus also smiled: "Xiaoyi, you're right, we have a lot of Xiaoyi." After such a boast, Xiaoyi remembered: "Sister Qiubai asked my sister to say something important, she said to me in the morning, in the afternoon, I and Chunji went to clean up the house where the eldest lady lived, and Sister Qiubai went home during the day and came back at night, and I forgot." ”

Xiao Chu got up: "What can she say to me." "When I opened the door, I saw the snow fluttering, the warmth in the room behind me, and the north wind and snow drifting in front of me. Xiao Chu still didn't add clothes, and he couldn't walk more than a dozen steps when he went out, which was the house where Qiubai lived.

This house is where Qiubai and Xia Lu live, Xia Lu will get married next year, and often go home to kiss his parents. When Xiao Chu came, Qiu Bai was the only one in this house.

Seeing that it was Xiao Chu, Qiu Bai liked it unnaturally on his face: "Come in and sit, I'm going to find you." "Xiao Chu looked at this room, eighty percent of the new brocade couch, two semi-new but quaint beds are better than their own. In the middle is a plum table, and the plum stool is a set, on which is a set of tea sets with green ground and red flowers.

In the end, it is a girl who has been waiting for a long time, and everything in the room is neat. Xiao Chu only sat down on the plum blossom stool, and Qiu Bai, who originally let Xiao Chu sit on the couch, did not force it. Pouring tea for Xiao Chu and pushing it over, Qiu Bai said with a smile: "Xia Lu went home again, I'm bored alone, I'm looking for you to talk." Whether you're doing well outside or not, if you have someone I can talk to, just come to me. ”

Xiao Chu smiled: "The second lady gave it to Zhao Jin, and Zhao Jin is very capable." "This capable man, after this fright, hopes that he will be smarter. Qiu Bai said Zhao Jin's family affairs like a few family treasures: "He married the second lady's companion, and the second lady is willing to give Zhao Jin to you, which can be regarded as trusting you." ”

Xiao Chu, who had heard it, was a little frightened, and scared Zhao Jin, would he go to sue the second lady. Thinking about it again, the son promised to bear it, and Xiao Chu put his mind at ease.

"Sometimes I look at you coldly and want to persuade you, but I'm afraid that you will get angry if you don't speak well." Qiu Bai said vaguely: "You and the second lady are actually very harmonious." Xiao Chu smiled and agreed: "Yes." "How can you be kind, it's hard to get a sum of money now, and you don't let people go out.

Qiu Bai said gently: "Xiao Chu, when you first came before, I was really annoyed with you. Qiu Baifei's face turned red, and he said to Xiao Chu: "When I figure it out, I think I'll let you know." In the future, we can help each other, and we are all people who want to be at home for a lifetime. Why bother to offend the second lady? ”

Xiao Chu stared at Qiu Bai for a while, and suddenly smiled: "The second lady promised you?" Qiubai's face was even redder like rouge, and he lowered his head and hummed softly. Xiao Chu was originally annoyed, but now he wanted to laugh and tease Qiu Bai in a low voice: "Did the son give you to the son before he got married, or after the son got married?" ”

This autumn white girl has come to look for an alliance today.
