Chapter 40: Empty Branches

Early the next morning, Master Tao called him to the study.

Looking at the son who was standing tall in front of the table, he couldn't bear to say something heavy, so he just called Songzhu to hand over the things he found to Yi Zhen.

"Look at it, it's probably Lin Sima behind the scenes, but he can't do such a frame-up thing." Master Tao touched his beard and said.

Yi Jian picked up the stack of papers, flipped through them, and finally opened his mouth: "I'm afraid it's for Yuefu." ”

Master Tao obviously doesn't want to admit this fact, "It's been more than 20 years, and you still don't want to let go?" ”

Yi Yi looked at his father and said, "Guilty of it." At yesterday's auction, the imperial court has already got this Yuefu letter in its hands, and it can always take a breath. ”

Master Tao sighed, remembered the elegant room yesterday, and said, "That's it, the first strike is strong, and the second attack will suffer." No matter what the people behind this are for, I have already sent someone to arrest the Nanling County Order, and this matter can only end here. ”

Yi Yi looked at his father, and white hair had grown on his forehead, "Father, I won't let anything happen to Tao Mansion." ”

Lord Tao looked at his son, wanted to speak and stopped, but finally didn't say anything, everyone has a rod and scale in their hearts, just look at what is placed on both sides of the scale.

"You have to keep yourself safe first."

Yi Yi looked at his father's back, sighed secretly, and brought the topic to Bo Suizhi, "Father, what do you think of Bo Suizhi?" ”

Master Tao looked at the bamboo outside the window, thought for a while, and finally said: "There is great righteousness in my heart, I don't know if I can accommodate a small family." ”

After a slight pause, he remembered his sister-in-law's instructions, and still opened his mouth: "Father, she is a pond fish..."

Master Tao didn't let Yi Xin continue, he turned his head and looked at Yi Xin: "Yesterday, I have discussed with Ah Xin, as long as Chiyu likes it, no matter what, our Tao Mansion can always protect her." ”

Yi Yin nodded, obviously understanding the meaning behind Master Tao's words.

Master Tao finally couldn't hold back and opened his mouth: "Wen Xing, when will you leave?" ”

The boy in front of the table changed his face in an instant, closed his eyes slightly, and when he spoke again, he couldn't see anything, "It's been the past two days." ”

Master Tao picked up a pen and dipped it in ink, "Have you really decided?" ”

Yi Jian did not pause, "It's the child who is not filial." ”

Master Tao frowned slightly, but finally smiled, he looked at Gongzi, as if he saw a kneeling man in front of the Wen Mansion twenty years ago. "Yiyin, you are still young, young people always do things without regard for the consequences, but since you have made a decision, you can't afford to be disappointed by others. Especially the Wen family. Otherwise, even if it's you, I won't let you go. ”

Yi Yi solemnly knelt down: "Thank you Daddy for making it perfect." ”

Master Tao dropped his pen and sighed. "I always want you to have a good life."

Yi Yi's eyes were red, and he didn't let Master Tao see it, lowered his head, and went out.

Outside the door, Chiyu was waiting with soup early, and when he saw his brother coming out, he handed the soup to Songzhu and chased after him.

Master Tao took the soup from Songzhu's hand and asked, "The pond fish is here?" ”

It took Shochiku a long time to come back to his senses: "Eh, yes." ”

Master Tao was surprised: "What's wrong with you today?" ”

Songzhu shook his head and replied: "I think I was too busy yesterday, and I am a little tired today." ”

Master Tao put the quilt away casually, "Since you're tired, let's go down and rest first." ”

Shochiku didn't excuse himself, bowed, and went back to the room.

In his mind, Pei'er's red eyes from yesterday appeared, and he thought that he would go to her and ask her what was going on.

turned a corner, and saw Pei'er, who was thinking about it day and night, standing under the eaves beautifully, which made Songzhu blush.

On the other side, Chi Yu caught up with his brother, pulled his brother's sleeve, and opened his mouth very eagerly: "Brother~ Have you told your father?" ”

Yi Yi looked at the little girl, and vigorously twisted the baby fat of the pond fish, obviously very dissatisfied: "What a girl, I don't know how ashamed~"

Chi Yu had already abandoned this shyness in front of Yi Yin, and only cared about whether his brother helped her speak, and she was still involved.

Yi Yi couldn't help it, spread his hands, squinted at the pond fish, and said, "Naturally, I said it." ”

"And what did Daddy say?" Chi Yu stared at his brother with wide eyes.

Yi Yi looked at the little girl, but didn't tease her again: "Daddy said, it's good if our good girl likes it." ”

The pond fish suddenly became overjoyed and anxious, making the heart in the chest flutter and jumping, and even circled around Yi Gong, and jumped a few times with the ring.

Only then did he stop, pulled the broken hair on his forehead, looked at his brother embarrassedly, and his voice became mosquito-like: "Daddy really said that?" ”

Yi Yi looked at his sister helplessly, "Why am I lying to you?" ”

Chi Yu put her heart back into her chest, and she consciously leaned on Yi Yin, "Brother, I'm really happy." ”

Yi Yi touched the hair of the pond fish, nodded, and said softly: "It's good that the pond fish is happy." ”

Chi Yu raised his head, looked at his innocent brother, and said heavily: "Thank you, brother." ”

Yi Yi laughed, chic and wanton, and nodded the forehead of the pond fish: "Silly boy~"

Chi Yu covered his forehead and complained: "Brother, if you have a few more times, I will not grow taller." ”

Yi Yin looked at the girl a little speechlessly: "Chi Yu, you are now fifteen years old, not five years old." It can't grow any longer. ”

Chi Yu finally gave up on this topic, but remembered Wen Xing's performance yesterday, and said with some concern: "Brother, what have you said to your cousin recently?" ”

Yi Yi's expression became serious, "Chi Yu, why do you say that?" ”

Chi Yu told the situation yesterday, and remembered the trouble of falling asleep on Wen Xing's back yesterday, and suddenly became embarrassed.

I thought it was because I was so tired yesterday that I didn't notice the change in Wen Xing.

Yi Yi looked at the girl's concerned eyes, and hugged the pond fish into his arms: "Thank you sister, I'll pay attention." ”

Chiyu was hugged by Yi Ji, smelling the familiar fragrance, and after a while, he couldn't help but speak: "Brother, my cousin is more stubborn than me, don't bully him." ”

Yi Jian let go of the girl and touched her nose, but she really didn't know what to say.

In the end, he patted the pond fish on the head, "I know, my brother won't bully him, you little slippery head, tell me what are you good about?" ”

The pond fish stuck out its tongue, waved its hand, and turned back to the yard.

"Brother, I'm going to make soup for you. You'd better go and look at the form. ”

Yi Xun looked at the lively figure of the girl, laughed, turned around and wanted to find Wen Xing, but was told that Wen Xing was out of the house today, so he thought about getting up tomorrow, but he didn't know how long he waited, and how many years he had spanned.

There are flowers that can be folded straight and must be folded, and there are no flowers and empty branches.
