When Xiao Yongde came back, he was still with the soldiers who came back with him, and the people automatically got out of the way when they saw it, staring at the carriage with their eyes and feeling grateful.

They knew who the man in the carriage was, and they knew what he was capable of.

Outside the Xiao Mansion, the Yan family had already waited outside with a few concubines, but the old lady did not appear in this kind of big scene.

If it was before, the old lady would definitely be the first to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Xiao Yongde, but today she is nowhere to be seen.

"Look, that's the lord's carriage, the lord is back, the lord is back."

The crowd shouted out and jumped with joy.

Everyone looked up at the carriage, and when the carriage got closer and closer to stop outside the door of the Xiao Mansion, they hurriedly lifted the corner of their skirts and walked to the carriage.

At first, these soldiers were lazy and unkempt, but today, although they were sloppy, they had more energy, and even their eyes became sharper.

"Sir, sir."

"Daddy, Daddy."

The people in each courtyard shouted excitedly, and they were jealous on weekdays, and only then did they have the same purpose.

Seeing the concubines flocking up, those people actually pointed their silver spears at them, as if to say that those who advance further will die.

"Don't put down the silver spear yet, the weapon is aimed at the enemy, not at your own people!"

Xiao Yongjue looked at it and scolded.

The men neatly withdrew their guns and stood back where they were.

Xiao Changge looked at the carriage and raised his eyebrows.

"Miss, why are you still sad when you see the master coming?"

Zhu Er grinned, her face was full of joy, and when she turned her head to look at Xiao Changge, she saw her frowning and thinking.

"It's fine."

On weekdays, Xiao Yongde rode back like the soldiers, but today he sat in a carriage, which was really not like her father's style.

However, training an old, weak, sick and disabled team to be so vigilant, Xiao Changge admired it in his heart.

Before Xiao Changge could think of an answer, the curtain of the carriage had been lifted, and Xiao Yongde jumped down from the carriage. 、

Xiao Yongjue also jumped off the horse and walked straight to Yan's side.

"Mother, Jue'er is back!"

Xiao Yongjue made a gesture at the Yan family, and he hadn't trimmed it for more than a month, and his handsome face was already covered with stubble and a little darker.

Yan touched Xiao Yongjue's face, and was so distressed that he was about to shed tears.

"It's good to come back, my mother has asked the people to prepare hot water, go wash and change clothes first, and then go to report safety to your grandmother, and the food is ready, so you have to come back."

Yan nodded, and Xiao Changle held Xiao Yongjue's arm.

"Brother, don't you know how worried your mother is about you and your father, Le'er is jealous."

Xiao Changle was coquettish and pouted.

"Sir."

Seeing Xiao Yongde coming over, Yan bowed slightly.

"Madam, it's been a hard time for you."

"The lord is polite, what's not so hard about this."

Yan said lightly, took the towel from Mama Zhou's hand, and wiped Xiao Yongde's face and hands.

"Dad, is there a guest in the carriage?"

Xiao Changge walked out of the crowd and glanced at the carriage and asked.

Xiao Yongde patted his head and laughed, this smile even the wrinkles on his face floated, and the hair on his temples was slightly white, and it could be seen at a glance that he was old.

"But I forgot about it, and the distinguished guest song in this carriage can't be seen."

Yan put away the towel, and those people craned their necks to wonder who was in the sedan when they heard it.

"Oh? Why? ”

Xiao Changge raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Here is your future husband, Ge'er, today my father wants to borrow something from you."

Xiao Yongde rubbed his hands, like a child, it was a little difficult to speak.

But he had already told Chu Yu that he couldn't break his promise if he was full.

Xiao Yongde's words let people know who is sitting inside.

It stands to reason that Xiao Changge will pass through the door, Chu Yu should not come to Xiao Mansion, let alone meet Xiao Changge, otherwise it will break the rules passed down by the ancestors.

If you don't see it before you pass the door, it's a bad sign.

"Dad, what's the matter, why is it so twisted?"

"Dad just wants you to bury the osmanthus stuffed in the vegetable garden."

Xiao Yongjue sighed, and his attitude towards Xiao Changge was the same as before.

Xiao Changge was no longer surprised, his eyes fell on Xiao Yongde, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"It turns out that some people are reciting the osmanthus brewed by Changge, Zhu'er, go and dig out the two jars of osmanthus brew under the garden."

"Ah, yes."

Zhu Er was surprised and hurriedly covered her mouth, her eyes moved from side to side, and she hurriedly lowered her head.

She remembered that she had buried four altars before, how did it become two?

"Zhu'er go get it immediately!"

"Since the fourth prince is here, the long song will also retire first."

Xiao Changge bowed slightly towards everyone and left.

She has never liked crowded and lively places, but when Chu Yu came, she let her be lazy.

"Sir, you see this is our child."

Xiao Changge left and no one said anything, and no one put their focus on her.

Yuan Shi looked at the opportunity, squeezed over from Lian's side, holding a swaddling baby in his hand, but before the person arrived, the voice first came to Xiao Yongde's ears.

Xiao Yongde hurriedly took a step towards the Yuan family and took the swaddling clothes from the Yuan family.

"Kid, this... It's still a handle, you have to teach it well in the future, and you can go into battle to kill the enemy in the future and serve the Chu country! ”

Xiao Yongde laughed and was overjoyed.

In the past few years, the Xiao family has only had such a man as Xiao Yongjue, and now there is one more, how can he be unhappy?

The family is happy and the scene is warm.

Yan clenched the handkerchief, as if she was about to crush the handkerchief, and seeing Xiao Yongde smiling so happily, her heart became colder and colder.

"Okay, it's windy here, the fifth sister can't afford to toss when she just comes out of the moon, and the child should also be fed with milk|water, wait for the master to finish his work and then take a good look at the child, but don't forget that the prince is still in the carriage, don't let the prince see the joke."

Yan was silent, but Hu spoke first.

"It's also a coincidence."

Yuan took the child and grinned.

Before leaving, he also told Xiao Yongde to remember to come and see the child.

"Let the prince wait for a long time, the prince please."

Chu Yu slowly lifted the curtain and came out of it.

Although I didn't like the smell of sweat in the carriage, I still had a smile on my face.

"No problem."

Chu Yu said softly, Xiao Yongde made a gesture of invitation to Chu Yu, and Chu Yu did not politely walk forward with him.

Xiao Yayan looked at Chu Yu, and was a little jealous of Xiao Changge.

I used to see Chu Yu always looking drunk or weak, how can I feel more attractive now that I look at it?

And that face, it's really stunning.

Xiao Yongde entered the door, and his family members also walked in.

As for the soldiers, Yan had already settled for them.

After Xiao Yongjue and Xiao Yongde finished washing, they went to the old lady to say goodbye, and the old lady couldn't cry when she saw the two of them returning safely, and after learning that Xiao Yongde refused to be promoted, the old lady scolded Xiao Yongde for not knowing that he didn't even want to be promoted, so he had to let Xiao Yongde get out of Fulu Courtyard and let Xiao Yongjue stay with her.

den

Zhu Er had already sent the osmanthus brew here, and when he left, he glanced at Chu Yu a few more times.

She is very satisfied with her future uncle, and she knows that he is a good person at first glance.

Xiao Yongde took out a wine glass and poured a full glass of wine for Chu Yu, but he had a glass first.

"Ge'er also brought me osmanthus brew when I left, and now I still drink it when I come back, it feels like a dream."

After speaking, he sighed heavily.

His mother scolded him for not knowing what to do, and it also affected Xiao Yongjue's future, but only he knew that this official was wrong.

"If it weren't for the prince's help today, I'm afraid the minister wouldn't have been able to escape this catastrophe."

It wasn't until Xiao Changge reminded him that he realized that so many people in the court looked at him blindly.

"There are no outsiders here, the teacher is not a minister, and I am not a prince."

Chu Yu tasted the wine lightly and licked his thin lips, for fear of wasting it.

"Ah Yu, the teacher is very confused now, right and wrong, loyal and treacherous, it's too difficult to distinguish."

He had never revealed this to anyone, but now he couldn't tell the difference between good and bad, right and wrong.

He thought he was doing the right thing, but he caused other people's families to be ruined, and dozens of lives were gone.

"If the teacher is talking about the incident of the Zhou family, then the student thinks that the teacher is right, if the teacher conceals this matter, then the treasury is empty, if there is a real war, what can be used to support those soldiers who are holding on to the Chu State outside?"

"At that time, it will not be dozens of people, but the entire Chu State, and you will really be a sinner for the ages at that time, teacher."

Chu Yu squinted and smiled, Xiao Yongde looked at Chu Yu in surprise.

"Ah Yu, you have always been..."

Xiao Yongde choked up, his throat bitter.

"Students are not pretending to be confused, they are really confused, and they always think that they can survive by pretending to be crazy and stupid."

Chu Yu smiled bitterly, Xiao Yongde understood in his heart.

How can you be as peaceful as ordinary people when you were born in the royal family, and if you don't have more eyes, how can you survive until now.

West Courtyard

Xiao Changge filled the hole he had dug back with soil.

No wonder she buried four altars before, one altar was given to her father, and there should be three altars left, but when she turned it over before, she saw that there were two altars left, and it turned out that there were mice that slipped in, and she didn't know it.

"Miss, how did this become two altars?"

Zhu Er sat on the doorrail, supported her cheeks with her hands and frowned.

She thought about it, but she couldn't figure it out and couldn't think of it.

"Have you been robbed? But who is so clever that we bury the wine under the vegetable garden? ”

Zhu Er muttered to herself, Xiao Changge clapped her hands, and the soil was still sticking to her hands. 、

The soil is damp, and I'm afraid it's going to rain this weather.

The people of the Four Princes' Mansion had already looked for Chu Yu, and they were about to go crazy, so they sent people to guard the city gate, only to see the other ministers come out and not see Chu Yu.

A fire broke out in the Zizhu Courtyard, and the entire courtyard was burned down with one fire.

Fortunately, Bai Ling'er and Shuang'er came out to buy rouge gouache and didn't reach it, but this burn burned down their residence, so Bai Ling'er took Shuang'er to find Chu Yu.

It's just that Chu Yu wasn't there, Xu Fu didn't wait to see Bai Ling'er, so he didn't let them in, who knew that the people passing by were looking curiously, Xu Fu was afraid of losing Chu Yu's face, so he invited the two in, and now the two are sitting in the hall waiting for Chu Yu to come back.

But Chu Yu, who has always returned early, is nowhere to be seen today.

Xu Fu was anxious, and finally looked forward to General Xiao's return, and the marriage between his master and Xiao Changge was also imminent, but he couldn't let this woman enter the mansion, otherwise he would have to jump the chickens and dogs.

The newly entered princess wants to see Bai Ling'er, I don't know if she will think about it.

"Shuang'er, let's go."

Bai Ling'er took Shuang'er's hand and said timidly.
