Before lunch on the second day, Yi Luochuan took Yi Xiangxiang and Yi Ruofu, and the three brothers and sisters to the Fusheng Pavilion in Xile Building.

As soon as Yi Xiangxiang arrived, she yawned and lay on the beauty couch by the window, completely ignoring her brother's murderous gaze.

God knows, she's really sleepy!

"Eighth sister, if you don't get up and sit down again, I'll tell my mother that the sweet white glazed pot that disappeared before me was actually broken when you were drinking." Yi Luochuan gave up shooting in the eyes and began to verbally threaten.

Yi Xiangxiang could only grit her teeth secretly when she heard this threat, the day before yesterday she asked Qing Xuan to warm a pot of sake to drink and play, and at that time she felt that the wine pot and sake were very compatible, so she secretly took it from her mother and used it. Originally, she wanted to learn from the wine fairies and wine saints to drink the pot, and she didn't want to accidentally smash it. The pot is an object that the Lin family likes very much, Yi Xiangxiang was afraid that her mother would find out, so she deliberately asked people to lie that the wine pot was packed by her and given away, and hid the matter.

Yi Xiangxiang is not afraid of being known that she broke the pot, this pot is broken, and it is a small matter for her mother to know that it is a big matter to indulge in drinking during the day.

Yi Ruofu waved her sleeves and sat on the chair, and then she withdrew her personal maid, and now in addition to the three brothers and sisters in the room, there are only Qingxuan, Shumei and Ah Ping, and they are all their own people. Yi Ruofu hooked her mouth and said with a smile: "Only the third brother can teach the eighth sister a lesson, if this is me, maybe she will eat it!" ”

"Aren't you alive and well now? Hmph, if you are verbose, return to me the rouge that Shumei gave you in the yard the day before yesterday. Yi Xiangxiang threatened Yi Ruofu.

"Third brother, look, the eighth sister is still threatening me!" Yi Ruofu pretended to be afraid.

"Hey, they all say that they take other people's hands and eat other people's soft mouths, why is this useless to you!" Yi Xiangxiang rolled her eyes at Yi Ruofu, who stuck out her tongue at her in defiance.

Yi Luochuan was also amused when he watched the two little girls arguing, but he found that Yi Xiangxiang was still lying in the beauty couch, so he threw another eye knife over: "Don't hurry up!" ”

Yi Xiangxiang could only resign herself to her fate, and before sitting down, she deliberately said resentfully: "What about people, can't you eat yet?" ”

As soon as her words fell, a voice came from the door.

"Sister Xiangxiang, are you hungry? Fortunately, I'm smart and have already asked the little two to serve some snacks first. ”

I saw two beautiful sons pushing the door in, and they were the young men in Tsing Yi and the young men in purple who stayed in the Xile Building yesterday.

"Brother Xiang Yun, Brother Feihong." Yi Luochuan stood up and greeted the two.

That's right, these two people are Xiang Yun and Ren Feihong, who met the Yi brothers and sisters in Jinhua County, and it was Xiang Yun who just spoke.

When the Yi family was in distress, Luo Minghao, Xiang Yun and Ren Feihong all came to Tongzhou to visit, and since then, several people have been close friends and have been regarded as confidants and friends. When Xiang Yun went to Kyoto and passed through Tongzhou, he would come to talk to the Yi Luochuan brothers and sisters, and Ren Feihong would also come to visit when he traveled through the rivers and lakes, and the friendship between several people gradually deepened.

"Since Brother Xiang Yun and Brother Feihong have arrived in Tongzhou, why don't they go to the house?" Yi Ruofu also greeted the two of them in a timely manner, and she was also present when they first met in Jinhua County. In the past few years, Xiang Yun and them have come to Tongzhou, and Yi Xiangxiang will also take her out to meet each other.

Yi Luochuan etiquette is in place, because he is such a person in the first place. Yi Xiangxiang and Yi Ruofu didn't even get up, the former was lazy, and the latter didn't think about it at all, but Xiang Yun and Ren Feihong didn't mind.

I saw that the two of them saluted Yi Luochuan and sat down one after another, Xiang Yun said: "How troublesome it is to go to the house, how rude it is to disturb the elders!" ”

The rhetoric is a bit far-fetched.

Yi Xiangxiang is used to not giving face to acquaintances, so she directly sighed: "If you don't say hello to your elders when you get there, is it polite?" ”

"Well, I'll just say it's useless. Sister Xiangxiang, please save me some face in the future! Xiang Yun touched his nose and said.

Ren Feihong smiled and explained: "When Ming Hao came, he told us that his father's promotion was imminent, and it was not appropriate to have frequent contact with the governor's mansion, because he had never traveled with us. We thought it was the same, so we didn't want to bother, and we had other things to do this time. ”

Although Yi Xiangxiang felt that Luo Minghao was thinking too much, she also expressed her understanding.

Luo Minghao's father's evaluation is imminent, and as his friends, Xiang Yun and Ren Feihong do have reasons why they should not enter and leave Yifu. However, as far as Yi Xiangxiang knows, Luo Minghao's mother is also a little related in Kyoto, and I think the Luo family is low-key and not attached.

She didn't think about it so much, the recent events were enough to make her physically and mentally exhausted, so she beckoned Shumei to let the back kitchen start cooking, and she leaned on the circle chair to listen to the rest of the people.

"We have already heard about Qishan, and Feihong also went up the mountain to check it out. I didn't go, it's okay for him to go up the mountain as a martial artist, I can't stand that sin. Xiang Yun took a sip of tea and said while holding the circle chair.

At this time, Xiang Yun's movements and tone of speech were the same as those of Xiang Yun who begged for a wooden card five years ago, without the slightest change. However, his facial features are tougher, and he is more mature, so if he is serious, he really has the momentum of an adult.

Yi Xiangxiang silently sighed that time flies.

Yi Luochuan nodded and said, "My father has been sending people to dismantle the trap in the past two days, and I will go up and walk after that." I heard that there were no traces at the scene other than blackened bottles and bones? ”

He asked Ren Feihong in this sentence.

Ren Feihong bowed slightly, and said, "When I went up, the dry bones were already buried, and there was nothing else at the scene except for the charred objects. The style of acting of the Huanxi Pavilion is also surprising, the fire only missing the village and not burning the entire Qishan, this action does seem very merciful, but it is also a fact that nearly two hundred lives were killed by their knives. Eh, although it is a thunderbolt method, this Qishanzhai that has disturbed our cleanliness for a hundred years finally ceased to exist. ”

There was regret for life in his tone, and there was a chivalrous spirit on his handsome face, which was a righteous wind.

Yi Xiangxiang watched Ren Feihong speak, and inexplicably thought that Jin Yong's Guo Jing hero was also so righteous and awe-inspiring, but compared with Ren Feihong and Guo Jing, the former was still too immature.

"This is true, I don't have to think about the things that pass through Qishan in the future, but it really saves me a lot of effort, and Huanxi Pavilion is indeed a matter of eliminating harm for the people. I don't know if those old, weak, sick and disabled people were really rescued by Huanxi Pavilion as the Chilingsan people said. Xiang Yun was happy and worried at the same time.

Yi Ruofu smiled in a low voice and said, "Brother Xiang Yun hasn't changed at all, it's still like this, eh...... Wealthy...... Forehead...... Compassion. ”

The word compassion was learned by Yi Ruofu from Yi Xiangxiang, and she said this because when they first met five years ago, Xiang Yun was also blaming herself for not saving the merchant.

"Why bother to verify that they were all killed? If you want to make yourself feel better, you can believe whichever you want, anyway, it's just a five-five chance. Besides, if there are really people alive, maybe there are some relatives of the victims of Qishanzhai who want to kill them all, wouldn't that be more troublesome? Yi Xiangxiang said with a yawn beside her.

Xiang Yun suddenly realized, he just wanted to say that those children were also pitiful, after all, it was the adults who caused the killing that implicated them, but he didn't expect that the world's favorite thing was to beat the water dogs and cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

"It's still Sister Xiangxiang's transparent, it's me who wants to be left." Xiang Yun said.

Yi Ruofu said disapprenously: "Don't praise her anymore, you have to lift her to the sky when you turn around!" ”

Yi Xiangxiang spread out on the chair and shrugged her shoulders and said to Yi Ruofu, don't be jealous.

Yi Luochuan glanced at Yi Xiangxiang and hinted that she was sitting upright, Yi Xiangxiang remembered the wine jug, and gave up Ge You's paralysis in resignation.

"Brother Xiang Yun and Brother Feihong plan to stay in the city for a few days? How many days can I attend Mr. Yu's birthday party? Yi Luochuan asked.

Ren Feihong nodded and said, "We did come in advance for Mr. Yu's birthday banquet, and my mother used to be a student of Mr. Yu in Lusheng College. ”

Xiang Yun also nodded and said that he was also here for this matter, but because of the matter in Qishan, they came early, and it was inconvenient to visit the master's house at this time, which was also one of the reasons for staying in Xile Building.

"I heard that the fourth prince will also come to congratulate Mr. Yu on his birthday, I don't know if it's true or not?" Xiang Yun hesitated and asked.

Zhao Zixiu was indeed as Yi Xiangxiang guessed, and only released the news when he was about to arrive in Tongzhou, because now whether it is an official family or a person in the rivers and lakes, they have all got the news one after another, and many people have come from all directions, all wanting to see the demeanor of the four princes.

Yi Luochuan nodded and said, "That's true, my father received a message, and he should be able to arrive in Tongzhou in a few days." ”

The reason why Yi Luochuan did not give a specific date of arrival is actually because the time should be a little different, after all, the prince travels, for safety, the itinerary is still confidential.

"I heard that the four princes have handsome faces, clear wind and bright moon, and they are good-looking!" When Xiang Yun said this, he blinked his eyes and looked at the two girls' houses, Yi Xiangxiang and Yi Ruofu, and the ridicule was very obvious.

Several people have known each other for many years, and they really don't shy away from chatting and talking. Xiang Yun's personality is also the kind of person who has something to say, the more he treats you as a friend, the more he disregards the rules, which is very similar to Yi Xiangxiang. Everyone is used to each other, and they know that this way of getting along is a natural manifestation of the other party's relaxation, and he is teasing the girl's family like this, and the people present don't think he is frivolous.

Yi Xiangxiang rolled her eyes and looked at Xiang Yun, she now had the illusion of being urged to marry.

However, the two sisters were not annoyed, and their ridicule of Xiang Yun was surprisingly consistent, that is, they were not shy. Yi Ruofu even said: "Brother Xiang Yun, Brother Feihong has married a wife, and you are still alone, you should worry about yourself!" ”

Ren Feihong married Ling Min, the eldest lady of Ling Fengge, in the spring of this year, and Ling Fengge's status in the rivers and lakes is on par with Ren Jiazhuang, so it can be regarded as a good match. At that time, because Qishanzhai was still between Jinhua County and Tongzhou, the Lin family did not allow Yi Xiangxiang and Yi Ruofu to come to the door to congratulate, and only Yi Luochuan was the representative of the Yi family to watch the ceremony.

Yi Ruofu's words did not embarrass Xiang Yun, but made Ren Feihong blush. The latter has only been married for half a year now, and he is thin-skinned, so he naturally can't stand Yi Ruofu's unintentional ridicule.

Yi Xiangxiang laughed out loud, and she was almost happy to be killed by Yi Ruofu.

"Fifth sister, don't be so rude." Yi Luochuan also laughed, but after all, he was an elder brother, so he naturally had to speak out to stop it.

"Third brother, what you said, you are able to marry the first beauty in Tongzhou to be our sister-in-law in the spring next year, Brother Xiang Yun is really pitiful." Yi Ruofu was completely puzzled by what was wrong with her words, and emphasized again.

Yi Luochuan didn't expect that he was being bypassed, and he was speechless for a while.

Yi Xiangxiang couldn't control her laughter, she really found out that the days of having a fifth sister were really too joyful.

Xiang Yun looked at the embarrassment of the other two brothers, and also laughed, because he was running around all the year round, he had a general relationship with his brothers and sisters in the family. Now that I have met Yi Luochuan and others, I have a different intimacy.

"If Sister Fu didn't mention it, I really forgot about this stubble, when will Brother Luo Chuan marry Miss Jiang?" Xiang Yun asked.

Yi Xiangxiang was the first to speak: "How quickly can we set the day to welcome relatives after the beginning of spring next year, mainly because there are two brothers in the first row, eh, the tragedy is orderly." ”

The Yi family's big house and the second room are combined, and the children are naturally in the same order, Yi Luochuan also has the eldest sister Yi Ruonan and the second brother Yi Hanchen in name, if the two are not married, he picked the front, but it is indeed not suitable.

Yi Xiangxiang said this very disrespectfully, and even suspected of disrespecting her brothers and sisters, but everyone present liked her sincerity. Oh, no, Yi Luochuan has always been dissatisfied with his sister's open-mouthedness.

"Your sister isn't worthy yet?" Xiang Yun asked Yi Ruofu with a gossipy face, and the image of Jia Gongzi disappeared.

Yi Ruofu is also an unobstructed person to her own population: "My heart is higher than the sky, and I want to enter the Hou Mansion!" ”

Yi Luochuan didn't know that Yi Xiangxiang even told Yi Ruofu about this, and his eyes hinted that his sister asked, Yi Xiangxiang leaned into his ear and said, "She overheard it herself!" Can't count me on the head! ”

Now Yi Luochuan understands why Yi Xiangxiang wants to let him take the initiative to send flowers to appease Yi Ruofu, thinking that Yi Ruofu was sad a while ago, and her sister asked her to show her attention to the fifth sister. Yi Luochuan sighed, these five sisters are also pitiful, in the words of their own sister, they are really typical fathers who don't love their mothers. As a result, Yi Luochuan was already thinking about buying some more precious flowers for Yi Ruofu at this time.

Xiang Yun and Ren Feihong had also heard them talk about the Marquis of Changping before, and they could only sigh slightly about Yi Ruonan's blindness. However, Xiang Yun suddenly reacted and said: "Then if she enters the Changping Marquis Mansion, won't the relationship with your family be messed up?" The current Mrs. Hou Fu is your future wife's aunt! ”

Although Xiang Yun is a businessman, it is because of business that he understands these twists and turns.

Yi Luochuan was embarrassed to say that Yi Ruonan was not, but Yi Xiangxiang was more unscrupulous, and only listened to her: "The relationship is secondary, there are many examples of this kind in the Kyoto family, but there is no problem." It's just that I'm more worried that the Changping Marquis Mansion will have a mind that shouldn't be raised in the future, and will bring us in. But if you are serious, not to mention that the Yi family is not enough to become the eldest sister's reliance now, that is, if she is qualified in the future, we will not help her stand in the Hou Mansion. ”

Yi Xiangxiang said this very coldly.

Xiang Yun subconsciously looked at Yi Ruofu, who smiled and said, "Don't look at me, although she is my own sister, I have said whether I should persuade or not." And the eighth sister is right, if she cares about us a little, she won't want to be a concubine. ”

Yi Ruonan's thoughts, Yi Ruofu, who is a younger sister, knows too well, she has always done anything to achieve her goals, since this is the case, you can't blame them for being too much of a family.

She is really confused, that kind of wealthy family is guilty even if she marries in, let alone ...... Eh, I don't want to put my beak at it, but Sister Xiangxiang's remarks just now are not to the point, even if the Yi family is not tied to the boat of the Changping Marquis Mansion because of your eldest sister, but now Luo Chuan is going to marry Jiang Jingshan, this marriage is directly regarded as the marriage of Jiang Yi's two families! Xiang Yun reminded.

Xiang Yun knows the situation in Kyoto better than Ren Feihong, who is in the rivers and lakes, and now several princes in Kyoto are all of good strength, although the eleventh prince under Meng Zhaoyi's knees is still young, but the mother family is powerful, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not fight. Yi Fu is now the head of the big house, and Yi Ruonan is not considered to take refuge because of the relationship between the second house, but Yi Luochuan of the big house married Jiang Jingshan, and the nature is completely different.

Yi Xiangxiang has some headaches about this, although the relationship with the Hou Mansion is not harmonious, but in the eyes of outsiders, they are connected after all. In order to repay the kindness of Elder Jiang, the parents and elders had nothing to say about their juniors, after all, she also felt that Jiang Jingshan and her brother were indeed a match. As for the relationship, I only hope that the prince who will ascend the throne in the future will be a Ming monarch, and they will not be implicated because of Meng Zhaoyi and the eleventh prince or even the Hou Mansion.

As for the eleventh prince's ascension to the throne, Yi Xiangxiang did not have much hope. After all, few of the princes above him are vegetarians, but Meng Zhaoyi and the Marquis of Changping are in the bureau and can't see the facts clearly.

Yi Xiangxiang stroked the carved pattern on the teacup and said: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, anyway, I have already told him on my father's side and applied for a stay in Tongzhou from above." My brother won't be attending next year's Spring Festival, so as long as he doesn't go to Kyoto when the situation is turbulent, it's okay to come. ”

"Oh? When did you mention this to your father? Yi Luochuan wondered, he really didn't know that his father and sister had planned for such a rainy day.

"After the news of the four princes coming to Tongzhou spread, I told my father that there was no need to get too close to the four princes, so as not to cause criticism." Yi Xiangxiang looked at Yi Luochuan with an expression of "you see how sensible your sister is".

Behind the fourth prince Zhao Zixiu is the Yuwen family, and the Yuwen family has a general Yuwen who is in charge of 200,000 soldiers and horses in the north, which is the strength in front of him. As long as you are willing to gamble, you will definitely take advantage of the four princes' Tongzhou exercise to do their best.

"Sister Fu, I just said that Sister Xiangxiang is transparent, but I'm really not wrong at all!" After Xiang Yun finished speaking, he raised his teacup and drank water.

Yi Xiangxiang heard Xiang Yun's words ridiculous, she rolled her eyes again and said: "I just don't think there is any need to gamble, although the Yi family is not full of glory, but now the days of eating and drinking are comfortable enough, the heart is still not too good, ambition is often easy to kill." There's nothing wrong with being a pure minister. ”

"But Chunchen didn't end well." Xiang Yun was also direct.

Yi Luochuan and Yi Xiangxiang are also brother and sister, so they naturally have the same opinion as Yi Xiangxiang, but they only heard him say: "That's because they are not smart enough, they want to be pure ministers, and they don't give up their status." ”

Loyalty to the monarch is not something you say or even do it, many people have a desire for power, and this desire will overshadow that loyalty.

"Then who do you think has a better chance of winning in Kyoto?" Xiang Yun asked without fear of death, even Yi Xiangxiang was surprised that he would ask such a question.

Yi Luochuan looked around and found that there were no idlers, so he secretly exhaled: "Brother Xiang, you have to be cautious, now that there is a master in the East Palace, it is naturally the prince who is respected." ”

Xiang Yuncai ignored Yi Luochuan's euphemism, and asked Yi Xiangxiang: "What does Sister Xiangxiang think?" ”

Yi Xiangxiang knew that if she didn't give Xiang Yun a satisfactory reply, I was afraid that this topic would not end. I heard her smile and say, "It's not certain, but no father would want his son to die soon." I just want to say, if you don't fight, you fight. ”

If you don't fight, you fight.

The Fusheng Pavilion was quiet for a while, and everyone was thinking about the deep meaning of Yi Xiangxiang's words. Yi Luochuan was also frightened by his sister, and thought to himself that it was no wonder that his grandfather always sighed that it was a pity that his sister was a daughter.

Everyone was silent, Xiao Er knocked on the door very appropriately and asked if the dishes were served, and then the dishes were served one after another, and everyone naturally changed the topic elsewhere.

Yi Xiangxiang spoke freely today because she was surrounded by her own people, and with Qing Xuan on her side, she could find out if someone was listening outside, so she was completely relieved. The intention of her words is also to remind Xiang Yun and Ren Feihong that no matter what time you are, you must remember that the first thing is to protect yourself.

Of course, she completely ignored the sentence that there was someone outside the world at this time, and she didn't expect that her remarks had already made a pair of sharp eyes outside the window turbulent.

It's not a good life

Non-red-faced and thin-fated people
