Xia Zixi wanted to meet Shao Yi by chance, but this chance encounter had to have a reasonable process and time.

So, when he really met Shao Yi, it was three days later.

On this day, Xia Zixi came out of the academy early in the morning, went to the bookstore halfway to buy two books, and then didn't bother to take the car again, and took the little girl to walk through a long street.

At the other end of the long street, Shao Yi and Xiuyuan rode horses and followed their usual route to their homes.

In the distance, Shao Yi saw Xia Zixi's master and servant on foot. Naturally, he didn't dare to slack off, so he dismounted from a distance, threw the reins to Xiuyuan, and greeted him from across the street.

"Brother Zixi, what a coincidence." Shao Yi gave up his hand, and he was happy to meet his old friend.

Xia Zixi returned the salute and said with a smile, "Yes, Captain Shao is a subordinate here, are you going back home?" ”

Encountering Xia Zixi on such a rare road, where would Shao Yi let go of this opportunity, and hurriedly smiled, "Brother Zixi is polite, just call me Cheng'an." ”

He saw Xia Zixi smiling and nodding, and then warmly invited, "The younger brother and the elder brother don't meet often, so it's really not easy to meet by chance." Don't be in a hurry to go home, the younger brother is the east, how about inviting the brother to have a light meal? ”

Xia Zixi looked hesitant for a moment, and then pushed back, "Don't bother Cheng'an, I've already agreed with my family that I'm going back for dinner." ”

Shao Yi saw an opportunity from Xia Zixi's hesitation. With such a look, Xia Zixi only told his family that he would go back to eat, otherwise, his eldest brother should be quite willing to have a drink with him.

"Is it a family dinner?" Shao Yi asked cautiously, full of hope in his heart.

According to Xia Zixi's current attitude, if the Xia family is not a very special family banquet, he can go and have fun.

Under his expectant gaze, Xia Zixi smiled and said, "It's not a special day, how can there be a family banquet?" It's just that there have been a lot of things in the past few days, and the three of us haven't had a meal together, so I mentioned it by the way. ”

Shao Yi subconsciously rubbed his hands and said, "The younger brother hasn't visited his uncle and aunt for a long time, otherwise, the younger brother and the elder brother will go back together, and by the way, they will also give a salute to the two old people." What does my brother think? ”

Xia Zixi was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said happily, "Okay, there is a way, it is better to meet by chance." I met so coincidentally today, and naturally I had this fate. ”

Mrs. Jiang's back house has also been very busy these days, and it hasn't stopped at all. Mrs. Qiao in the Taishi Mansion, that was the first wave of the front station.

In the next two days, Mrs. Jiang received three female dependents, one of which was divided into morning and afternoon, and she was busy receiving two groups of visitors.

The meaning is much the same, and the final topic will also focus on Xia Yanqing.

Gradually, Mrs. Jiang also understood what these people meant, and she felt a little overwhelmed.

Actually, Xia Zixi is not wrong about one thing, because Mrs. Jiang has been busy receiving visitors these days, and she is worried about whether Xia Yanqing can remarry smoothly, and the atmosphere at home is very tense.

Not only is the father and son not relaxed, but the atmosphere in the whole family is a little dignified, including the atmosphere of eating.

Xia Zixi took Shao Yi home, and Mrs. Jiang happened to receive her sister-in-law at home, that is, the aunt of Xia Zixi's brothers and sisters.

There are Beppu ladies at home, and Shao Yi said that Mrs. Jiang was naturally exempted, and only solemnly met Xia Ke in the outer courtyard.

Xia Zitang had already returned, he didn't expect Shao Yi to come back with Xia Zixi.

I was very happy to suddenly see my friends at my own house. The relationship between the two is close, and they don't see each other, at the moment, Xia Zitang didn't bring courtesy, patted Shao Yi's arm and said with a smile, "Let's see you every day, brother, I didn't invite you to dinner." On the contrary, my brother only met you on the road, so he invited you here, which seems to be rude to me. ”

Shao Yi even said "where", Xia Zitang couldn't help but say, and pulled him to sit down beside him.

Because of the relationship between the grandson, Shao Yi once told Xia Zitang that he and the Xia family were already in the same boat. After that time, the many contacts between Taisun and the Xia family and Xia Han were mediated by Shao Yi.

Although Xia Ke is still serious, he really regards Shao Yi as a friend in the same boat.

A few people sat for a while, the little guy on the tea retreated, chatted a few words, and Xia Ke brought the topic to King Jing's mansion, "I heard that the Sunday banquet of the third son of Prince Jing a few days ago also gave a post to Cheng An, but Cheng An did not go to the banquet. Somehow? ”

Shao Yi smiled bitterly and said, "The little nephew thinks that he has no reason to go to the banquet, in terms of official position, the official position is low, and he is really not qualified to be the guest of King Jing." The family background and identity were even more embarrassing, and the little nephew didn't want to have much to do with the royal clan, so he pushed it. ”

Xia Ke nodded secretly, although Shao Yi claimed that his identity was embarrassing, but this was not a reason for him not to attend the banquet in the Jingwang Mansion.

King Jing is the most powerful prince today, and he is also the eldest son of the emperor. If King Jing is willing to promote him, he can take him to appear on official occasions a few more times, in fact, he indirectly acknowledges Shao Yi's identity.

With the approval of the emperor's eldest son, what reason do others have to question Shao Yi's identity? At least on the surface, there will be no more such incongruous sounds.

Obviously, Shao Yi didn't care much about this embarrassment, and his mentality was very stable.

It's just that what makes Xia Ke confused is that King Jing is a person who may inherit the unification, Shao Yi has such a resolute attitude and repeatedly refuses King Jing's overtures, doesn't he have any concerns about this?

"Oh, that's right. I thought Cheng An had a different idea about this. Xia Ke said lightly.

Shao Yi's eyebrows jumped, his father-in-law's words were very meaningful. It seems that the explanation given by him is not very agreeable.

Of course, he had other ideas, the emperor didn't plan to pass on the throne to King Jing at all, and the Xia family would eventually stand on the opposite side of King Jing.

In public and private, he can't have too much to do with King Jing.

But these words involve him to live a new life, how dare he say it casually?

Shao Yi pondered for a moment.

In addition to him, there were only three people in the room, Xia Ke and his son, so he had a lot less worries.

"Cheng An really doesn't have any ideas, the main reason is that King Jing has too many ideas, and Cheng An has to deal with them carefully." Shao Yi said.

Xia Ke: "Oh? ”

Shao Yi and Xia Ke These conversations, Xia Zitang just listened very carefully on the side, without thinking or expressing anything.

But Xia Zixi thought about it a lot, and didn't expect his father to talk to Shao Yi about such a sensitive topic.

Before, the contact between Taisun and Shao Yi and the Xia family, because it was the emperor's meaning, Xia Ke passively accepted it. But today's question, it seems that he is very active, do you want to determine how much sincerity Shao Yi has for the Xia family?

Shao Yi was very sincere, he said, "A few people under Cheng'an inquired about it, and after the continuous feeding glass technology was transmitted from the palace, the contact between the Marquis of Jinyang and King Jing gradually increased. Cheng An suspects that their contact had something to do with glassmaking, but perhaps there was a greater collaboration behind it. Cheng'an thought that the emperor was in the prime of life, and it was not the turn of others to have ideas. ”
