Eldest brother! "Fang Clan couldn't help but ......, you have been old three times. The first time you say that the atmosphere is too cold and you don't sleep well: the second time you say that you don't eat and have a bad appetite, and you are dizzy with hunger......"

"You are so young, why are you as wordy as my mother!" Fang Ji hurriedly interrupted his sister's words, "This time I must fail the test?" ”

Fang knew that his eldest brother's temperament was a bit soft rather than hard. After saying "The eldest brother worked hard and passed the Jinshi examination, the eldest aunt will have nothing to say, and when the time comes, she can do whatever she wants, wouldn't it be ...... quickly", he didn't dare to say more, and then asked about the situation at home.

"It's all good!" Fang Ji didn't want to talk to his sister about this, and said with a smile, "The second sister set the day of April 18 to leave the pavilion, and the third sister promised the children of the Dongyang Jiang family. As for the second brother, he has a lot to do in reading........."

The brother and sister chatted for a long time, and the Fang family cried and laughed again, until Qiu Yu came over and said, "Master Hou has set up a banquet in the outer courtyard to entertain Uncle Shao......" and then sent Fang Ji out.

Eleven Niang sent someone to ask Fang Shi to come over and speak: "I heard that the young master uncle is here. If you haven't decided on a place to live, why don't you live in the Congxiang Pavilion in the house? If you think that the Congxiang Pavilion is close to the street and too noisy, I will ask Mr. Bai to clean up the pine needle Xuan next to the Shuangfu Courtyard. ”

"Sister-in-law is Liu Shilang's niece. Every time the eldest brother enters Kyoto, he settles in the courtyard of the squire's house. Fang thanked again and again, and said, "Thank you Auntie for your concern." It's just that the eldest brother lived in the courtyard of Liu Shilang's house yesterday, and it's a little bad to move out rashly......" Wanyan refused.

When Shi Niang heard this, she said something "If you need help with anything, just open your mouth", and on the day of the Lantern Festival, she invited Fang Ji to come over to eat.

Fang Ji was lifted at the age of eighteen, and then he kept lingering at the door of Jinshi. seems to be upright and generous, but there is a few dust-free arrogance in his bones. Xu Siqin couldn't talk in front of him, but it was Xu Siyu, who had a good impression of him, and after getting to know him, he invited Xu Siqin and Xu Siyu to his place of residence several times as guests, "Introduced some friends to Xu Siyu, knowing that Xu Siqin was scheduled to move on the fourth day of the second lunar month, he was quite in favor, and said to Fang Shi in private: "It's not bad to live a good life in a down-to-earth manner." Fortunately, your knowledge is good. If you can't teach your husband, you can always teach your son! ”

Therefore, he treated Xu Siqin differently, and he was less slacking off when he first met.

Xu Siqin didn't know, "I just feel that this uncle is capricious and difficult to get along with, and he has a lot of trivial excuses to move, so he invites him, and he doesn't go once out of three times." Gradually, Fang Jianti and Xu Siyu became closer.

At the end of March, Li Zhong, the general soldier of Fujian, and his son were escorted to Beijing, and the matter was exposed, and there was an uproar in Beijing.

Fang Ji and other students who went to Beijing to take the exam were so excited that they wrote a book of 10,000 words to the emperor to "demand that Li Zhong be executed."

Eleven Niang was very worried, and was busy begging Xu Lingyi: "...... Mr. Li, what does the emperor mean? ”

"It depends on what the emperor has planned......," Xu Lingyi took the hot tea she handed over, "If you want to involve the people of the Ou family, you will naturally make a big fuss about General Li's affairs." If you don't move the people in the district for the time being, it will naturally turn big things into small things. ”

"Then in the eyes of the Hou Ye, will the emperor deal with the people of the Ou family at this time?" Eleven Niang muttered, "This is a good opportunity......

"It's indeed a good opportunity......," Xu Lingyi said with a smile, "It's up to the emperor to do it!" ”

Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case. What's more, Xu Siyu is involved in this matter, "It's just a flag-waving character." If it is done, it is none of his business, but if it is not done, it may be implicated.

Eleven Niang detained Xu Siyu at home: "Your brother-in-law is going to enter Beijing in the next few days, and our family has to entertain the people of the Shao family." Brother Zhen is young, you should follow him when the time comes, "help him a little more, so as not to take care of one or the other, what is rude......"

Mr. Jiang hopes to know the topics of this scientific examination and the papers of the top ten and the top three in the palace examination, so that Xu Si can find a way to transcribe the papers and return to Le'an after the spring season. No matter what, she had to leave Xu Siyu until the day of the exam, and the scholars who participated in the spring festival stopped.

Xu Sizhen was a little surprised, "respectfully responded" yes, "first picked up Shao Zhongran and the Shao family outside the city gate with Steward Zhao to come to Yanjing to catch the exam, and then accompanied him to the Shao family's courtyard, ordered the takeaway of Chunxi Building, left the Shao family's people to repair and settle down, and the next day took Xu Lingyi's name card to invite the Shao family's people to come over the house to eat and drink, wash the dust for the Shao family, and then sent clothes and medicines such as cooling ointment to Shao Zhongran on the order of Eleven Niang. The people of the Shao family returned to invite Xu Siyu and Xu Sizhen, who came and went, and it was the third day of the third month of March. Only then did he have time to go to see Fang Ji.

"It turns out that your eldest brother-in-law is from the Shao family in Cangzhou......" Fang Ji received a letter from Xu Siyu before, knowing that he was entertaining his brother-in-law who came to Beijing to participate in the martial arts these days, and when they met, Fang Ji was very interested and said, "There are several famous rangers in their family, all of whom are characters who see the beginning and the end of the dragon, and you will take the time to introduce me to the introduction one day." ”

Xu Siyu was full of promises, and hurriedly asked about the book of ten thousand words that he had been thinking about in his heart.

"Li Zhong's matter involves the Jinghai Hou family." Fang Ji's eyebrows fluttered, "The emperor has sent a close minister, Wang Liwang, as a messenger to take charge of Fujian's affairs. I'll leave today......"

Xu Siyu couldn't help but be overjoyed: "In this way, those who were unjustly killed can be wronged!" ”

"It's a pity that you weren't ...... at the time," Fang Ji's expression fluttered, "When we rushed into the Ministry of Rites, this person panicked...... As he spoke, his expression darkened, "They are all important ministers of the court, but they are like the women in the market, all of them are as earth-colored, and some even hide under the bookcase!" He shook his head with emotion.

"You rushed into the Ministry of Rites......" Xu Siyu was very stunned.

Fang Ji nodded: "If Da Zhou uses such people, the future is worrying!" ”

Xu Siyu suddenly thought of what Shi Niang asked him to do in the past few days, and he got up in a hurry: "There is a banquet at home, and it is inconvenient for me to stay for a long time." Knowing that the brothers were fine, I went back first. After a few days of brothers, I'll see you off......"

Fang Ji had also heard of the famous March 3rd banquet in the Yongping Marquis Mansion. A few polite words, personally sent him out of the door.

Eleven Niang was whispering to Mrs. Zhou at the moment.

“…… Li Zhongquan confessed, An Chengwei helped to walk some way, and Li Wu picked it up. Li Zhong is afraid that his life will not be saved. ”

exchanged his father's life for a chance to live. Li Jian is only afraid that he will carry this guilt for the rest of his life. But if you don't accept this opportunity, the Li family may be in a state of collapse, and it may even fall from now on. He accepted that "Princess An Cheng will shelter him for the sake of her daughter, and he can more or less help the people in the family."

Eleven Niang was very embarrassed.

Mrs. Zhou also sighed: "Li Zhong is too radical......"

With Li Zhong's conviction, Mrs. Li's figure will also disappear from the banquet......

The two of them remembered that Mrs. Li was smiling with a little worried face, and they couldn't help but fall silent.

Grandma Lin's hearty laughter came from outside: "...... The Xu family's conservatory is the second in Yanjing, "no one dares to call it the first." Although I am not the master, I dare to promise you on behalf of Mrs. Xu Si that when the time comes, you can only send a maid and a mother-in-law to beg for it, if Mrs. Xu Si frowns, it will be mine, not ......"

Eleven Niang and Mrs. Zhou both laughed.

The atmosphere in the room was light.

"This Shaw Brothers is making promises again." Mrs. Zhou stood up with a smile, "Let's go and have a look, otherwise you will suffer a big loss." ”

Eleven Niang went out with a smile and Mrs. Zhou. I saw Grandma Lin talking at the door of Dianchun Hall with a forty-year-old woman dressed in a honey-colored golden gown, and there were seven or eight women standing beside them, including Grandma Huang San.

Dou Ge's old lady.

Eleven Niang stepped forward to greet her and introduced Mrs. Zhou to her.

"We've seen it." Mrs. Dou saw the two of them coming out of the side room side by side, and her smile added another intimacy, "At the wedding banquet of Lord Li's eldest son." Does Mrs. Zhou remember......"

"Why don't you remember!" Mrs. Zhou smiled and greeted her.

Mrs. Dou's eyes fell on Eleven Niang's body: "I have long heard that the fourth lady is good at planting huā and raising grass, and I came here today, and I couldn't help but ask about ......."

"It's all a few sisters who carry love. One point of good becomes five points of good...... "Ten C Niang said politely, "If Mrs. Dou doesn't dislike it, how about I accompany me to Huā Garden?" ”

"Okay!" Mrs. Dou hurriedly smiled, "That's what I mean," but it's just a little difficult to speak......

Eleven Niang went to the conservatory with her and introduced the Fang family to her: "This is the eldest nephew and daughter-in-law." It is also a person who loves huā. ”

Mrs. Dou bowed her head towards Fang's jaw, Fang's knees were busy bent and saluted, and when she entered the conservatory, she took the initiative to help introduce the habits of various huā grasses, and Mrs. Dou couldn't stop nodding when she heard it.

A little maid came in" and whispered to Eleven Niang: "Madam, the second young master is here to see you!" ”

The Xu family's March 3rd banquet was all female guests, and Xu Lingyi would avoid it until this day. Xu Siyu came to see her at this time, could it be that something happened to Fang Ji's side?

She quietly said "um" and found a chance to get out of the conservatory.

Xu Siyu stood under a magnolia tree outside the conservatory.

There are white huā petals as white as snow that fall on his shoulders in a cyan straight jacket, "quietly, elegantly like a pair of ink paintings."

Hearing the movement, he looked up, his dark eyes flashed with a strange light, making his whole person very different from usual.

Eleven Niang was slightly stunned and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Looking at her honest gaze, the words that were tumbling in his mind like boiling water on the way back suddenly condensed into his mouth.

There are things she has never said, and there are things that she has been doing in silence.

Xu Siyu suddenly laughed.

What does it matter if you ask or not?

She doesn't stop doing it because she doesn't say, "Just because of that!"

"What's wrong with no well!" He let out a long breath, and suddenly felt a sense of relief, "Mother is entertaining guests, I want to ask the sixth brother if he wants me to help take care of it."

Shi Niang thought of turning everything out and putting it on the warm pavilion kang brother, and she couldn't help but have a headache. said: "He's in the warm pavilion, if you are free, just play with him for a while!" ”

Xu Siyu bowed and retreated.

Accompany Brother Jin to turn things out, then put them away, turn them out again, and put them away again...... It wasn't until he was tired of playing that Gu's mother coaxed him to fall asleep, and Xu Siyu sat down on the Taishi chair next to the kang, gently touched his hard black hair, and muttered something that no one could hear clearly.
