Xie Yu and Zhuo Dingfeng are both long and jade, with clear facial features, and the two ladies are willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, beautiful and elegant; Although it is not very similar, but if you look closely at its facial features, the outline features are almost the same.

Even if the child grows up, I am afraid that it will be difficult to determine whose son he is based on his appearance alone.

The emperor held the baby and watched it for a long time, although he was indecided, but because he loved it very much, he came up with a compromise plan: "Since it is impossible to confirm whose son this child is, then his surname Xie Zhuo is not suitable, so I will give him the surname of the country, and name him according to the prince's generation, called Jing...... Jing Rui is good, he was born on Rui Mountain. One year lives in the Xie family, and the next year lives in the Zhuo family, which is considered the son of two surnames, how about it? ”

The emperor is the master, not to mention that there is no better way, and everyone can only agree.

In this way, Xiao Jingrui has a dual identity, that is, he is the eldest son of the Xie family of Ningguo Hou, and he is also the second young master of the Zhuo family in Tianquan Villa. And the Xie Zhuo family, who had never had any contact, became like relatives and had a close relationship. Two years ago, Zhuo Qingyao, the son of the Zhuo family, married Xie Qi, the eldest lady of Xie Mansion, and the two families were even more close, and they were as harmonious as a family.

"Okay, big brother, since my father is in the study, let's go over and say goodbye," Xie Bi said and looked back at Mei Changsu, "Brother Su is going with you?" ”

Mei Changsu smiled and said, "If you enter the mansion and disturb, you should visit the master." ”

The two brothers accompanied the guests into the second door with a smile on their faces, and the people along the way looked at this frame and knew that it was an important guest, but it seemed that the person was dressed in a white shirt and had a plain face, and he couldn't guess where it came from.

According to the common practice of aristocratic families, unless it is to welcome the holy decree or a person of higher rank, the middle door is generally not opened and the main hall is not entered, so the two brothers directly led the guests to the east hall. Although there was still afterglow outside, the hall was already full of bright candles, and under the warm yellow light, there was a person holding a scroll in his hand, stepping on the mirror-smooth terrazzo marble floor, pacing slowly and thoughtfully. Hearing the sound of someone coming in, he stopped and turned around, and the long beard under his chin was windless.

This is Xie Yu, the Marquis of Ningguo, who was relied on by the emperor of the current dynasty and was known as the pillar of the imperial court.

The beautiful man who was once known as "Zhilan Yushu" is now over half a hundred years old, but his upright face and beautiful facial features still retain the handsomeness of his youth, and his body shape is still very good, fat and thin, and vigorous. At this time, he was wearing a set of half-worn home clothes, with no luxurious ornaments except for a jade belt around his waist, but he exuded a grace that could not be ignored.

Xiao Jingrui and Xie Bi stepped forward to bow down with solemn expressions, and said in unison: "The child has seen his father. ”

"Get up," Xie Yu raised his hand, his gaze fell on Xiao Jingrui, and his tone changed slightly stern, "Do you still know to come back?" I haven't seen you for more than two months, and I even forgot the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, it seems that I don't discipline you enough on weekdays......"

Just now, Xie Yu suddenly found that there was a fourth person in the hall, and immediately paused, "Oh, there are guests?" ”

"Yes." Xiao Jingrui bowed and said, "This Brother Su is a friend of the child, and he has always taken care of him when he is away, and this time it was the child who invited him to Jinling to recuperate." ”

Mei Changsu stepped forward, holding the junior ceremony, but his bearing was very calm: "Su Zhe, the grass people, I have seen the Hou Ye." ”

"Mr. Su is polite, the person who came is a guest, not to mention that he is a friend of the dog, so he doesn't need to be so humble." Xie Yu raised his hand and returned the salute slightly, seeing that although this young man was sick and thin, he had a beautiful face and an elegant temperament, so he couldn't help but look at it twice, "Mr. Su is a good person, since he is a guest in our mansion, he treats it as his own home, and he doesn't have to be restrained." ”

Mei Changsu bowed and smiled, without being polite, and slowly took a step back.

Because there were outsiders present, it was inconvenient for Xie Yu to reprimand Xiao Jingrui more, so he only glared, then slowed down his tone and said, "The guests are tired from afar, so you can arrange a rest first." Don't be sleepy tomorrow, go to the princess's mansion to welcome your mother back, and come here again after I go down to court, I have something to tell you. ”

"Yes." The two brothers bowed down together and retreated with Mei Changsu, and only relaxed their bodies when they were outside the courtyard gate.

Because of the early instructions, the people of the Xie Mansion have cleaned the snow house of the hospitable courtyard, replaced it with a brand new furnishment, and the hot tea and hot water are also ready to stop, and the whole courtyard seems to be very warm, but it is not obvious that there have always been few people living in it.

Dinner was too early during the trip, so Xiao Jingrui and Xie Bi accompanied Mei Changsu to have supper in Xuelu. As soon as the jujube porridge and dim sum were delivered, Xiao Jingrui suddenly remembered something and asked, "What about Feiliu, can you ask him to eat together?" ”

Mei Changsu smiled: "He's always there." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Jingrui and Xie Bi suddenly felt a chill in their vests, and when they looked back, they were clearly empty in the corner of the room, and at this time, a young man in a light blue shirt was standing quietly. His face is extremely handsome, but unfortunately his whole body is as cold and arrogant and lonely as a layer of ice, which makes people dare not have the idea of being close.

"Although it's not the first time I've seen Feiliu, I still think this method is so weird." Xie Bi lowered his voice and whispered, "Brother Su, with a guard like him, I don't dare to approach you, for fear that he will misunderstand and slap me." ”

"How so? We Feiliu have a good temper and are very well-behaved. As soon as Mei Changsu raised his hand, Feiliu had already floated over in the next moment, squatted down, and rested his head on Mei Changsu's lap, "Look, I still like to be coquettish." He only occasionally can't tell the difference between truth and falsehood, and when he's present in the future, you just don't mess with me. ”

This young guard with amazing martial arts had suffered a brain injury and was a little mentally incomplete, Xiao Jingrui and Xie Bi already knew it, but they both respected Mei Changsu like a teacher, and they didn't plan to fight with him at all, so this command, just listen to it.

Feiliu didn't like to eat porridge, so Xie Bi ordered someone to cook another pasta for him. Everyone was eating and chatting, and there was a sudden sound of human voices outside the courtyard, and someone walked in laughing loudly all the way and said, "You guys are walking so slowly, I'm about to grow hair!" ”

Xiao Jingrui was overjoyed, jumped up and grabbed the comer, "Yujin!" ”

Xie Bi frowned, tilted his chin, and asked, "I said Yu Jin, your news is too fast, right?" We just came in, and it's so late, what are you doing here? ”

"I said hello to your housekeeper, and I'll send me a letter as soon as you come back," Yan Yujin strode forward to greet Mei Changsu, "Brother Su looks good, I didn't suffocate to death by these two people without me along the way, right?" ”
