Before the Spring Festival arrived, the down jacket was taken off, the flowers of a tree bloomed, and the birds set off to return to the north......

----------------------This is a dividing line that reiterates the call for environmental protection---------------

"Injury?" Xiao Jingrui was startled, "How could Big Brother Qingyao get hurt?" ”

"Who do you ask me?"

"Didn't you just look like you knew everything?"

"How can I know everything, if there is really anyone in this world who knows, it is also the Lord of Langya Pavilion and our Brother Su......" Yan Yujin rolled his eyes, "Hey, let's go and ask Brother Su, maybe he really knows how Brother Qingyao was injured......"

"Go," Xiao Jingrui gave him a blank look, "Why do you say that Brother Qingyao is injured?" He is from the rivers and lakes, and it is not an unsightly thing to be injured, so why pretend to be sick and hide it from everyone? ”

"Not necessarily...... If you happen to be doing something unsightly when you are injured? ”

"Yujin!" Xiao Jingrui's face suddenly sank, "What do you mean by this?" My eldest brother Qingyao is known as a chivalrous person, what will he do to see people? ”

"What are you annoyed about?" Yan Yujin glared back at him with dignity, "When I was a child, I just teased the little girl, and you said that what I did was unseemly, from childhood to adulthood, have I ever annoyed you?" ”

"You...... I ......" Xiao Jingrui couldn't cry or laugh, "I'm kidding you!" ”

"So how do you know I'm not kidding?"

Xiao Jingrui had no choice but to slump his shoulders and reluctantly slow down his tone: "Yujin, don't make such jokes about my eldest brother in the future......"

"I know, I know," Yan Yujin waved his hand, picked up the cup on the table, and was about to hand it to his lips, when a voice suddenly came from the official road.

"Boss, please hand over two bowls of tea."

"Howler!" The owner of the tea stall answered, filled two bowls of tea in a tray, and delivered them to a simple, half-used carriage parked by the side of the road. A hand stretched out from the car, lifted the small half of the curtain, took the tea in, and after a while, handed out the empty bowl and tea money, and then left quickly, heading towards the city.

Yan Yujin held the tea bowl and stared blankly at the direction where the carriage left, forgetting to drink.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Jingrui hurriedly took the tea bowl out of his hand, so as not to splash his clothes, "Is there anything strange about the carriage?" ”

"Just now...... When the curtain was lifted just now, I saw behind the man who asked for tea...... There was still a man sitting......"

If Xie Bi was next to him at this time, he would definitely complain and say: "What is it strange that there are people sitting in the carriage, do you think there will be a dog sitting inside?" But now it was Xiao Jingrui who was with him, so he only heard a gentle question: "Who is that person?" ”

"I don't know if I read the wrong ......" Yan Yujin grabbed his friend's arm, "That's He Wenxin!" ”

"How so?" Xiao Jingrui was stunned, "He Wenxin is about to be executed by the spring, and now he should be in prison, how could he come in from outside the city?" ”

"That's why I think I'm wrong...... Is it just a look? ”

"Perhaps, there are too many people in this world who look alike."

"Forget it, maybe it's really me fainting......" Yan Yujin stood up and shook his clothes, "I've rested enough, let's go." ”

Xiao Jingrui paid for the tea, lifted the small box, and the two walked swaying with the flow of people into the city, looking very leisurely, passing by the sugar and oil fruit stall, Xiao Jingrui also bought a whole pot, and I don't know what he was going to do when he bought so many ordinary snacks. When I arrived at the gate of the city, the crowd was slightly stagnant because of the routine inspection, but it was still flowing inward in a smooth and orderly manner. The officers and soldiers guarding the city gate belong to the patrol battalion, and the patrol battalion is under the control of the Marquis of Ning Guo in terms of military system, and when they saw the eldest prince of the Hou Mansion, they all bowed down to salute, Xiao Jingrui has always had no shelf, nodded with a smile, took the food in his hand to the person at the head, and instructed him to "make snacks for the brothers after the shift", and then walked in with Yan Yujin.

"It turns out that the ...... you bought for them" Uncle Guo smiled and elbowed his friend, "I don't know if you must say that you can be a man, but in fact, you are just good." ”

"You forget, this seventh uncle was also on duty when we went out of the city in the morning, and he also specially recommended that the sugar and oil fruits outside the city have special characteristics, so let's try them. I'm just buying some for him along the way, what's the matter? ”

"I forgot." Yan Yujin sighed exaggeratedly, "Jing Rui, you are so careful and considerate, whoever marries you in the future must be blessed." ”

"you." Xiao Jingrui smiled and gave him a punch, and when he was fighting, he suddenly saw a team of knights rushing over, hurriedly pulling his friend to the side of the road, and frowned, "What are the people from the Criminal Department doing so fast?" ”

"The day after tomorrow is the spring execution, the execution site has been set up at the entrance of the Dongcheng vegetable market and the watchtower, yesterday was on guard, this team probably rushed to change the guard." Yan Yujin stared at the smoke and dust in the distance, "I want to ...... Wen Yuanbo should come to watch the execution......"

"The revenge of killing his son, he is naturally bitter." Xiao Jingrui shook his head and sighed, "Then if He Wenxin hadn't been used to it, he wouldn't have committed this murderous crime...... But in any case, he also deserves it. ”

Yan Yujin squinted, not knowing what he was thinking, but after a while, he didn't say much. The two broke up in front of Yanfu, Xiao Jingrui returned home directly, only changed one piece of clothes, and went to visit the west courtyard where the Zhuo family lived.

At this time, Zhuo Dingfeng was not there, under the cherry tree in the yard, Mrs. Zhuo and the pot-bellied Xie Qi were sitting in a needlework, and when they saw Xiao Jingrui coming in, Mrs. Zhuo immediately threw away the embroidery in her hand and beckoned her son to her side.

"Mother, is this day good?" Xiao Jingrui asked for peace and stood up. Compared with the introverted and cold princess of Liyang, this Zhuo family mother is more maternal, and she has always loved Jing Rui more than Qing Yao, took his hand and asked softly, "Have you had fun today?" Hungry, right? Would you like a snack? ”

"Brother Rui is really my mother's heart," Xie Qi couldn't help but laugh, "You are the eldest son in the Xie family, but you are the youngest son in the mother's place, although it is good to be coquettish, just when my sister-in-law is not there." ”

Xiao Jingrui couldn't help but smile: "To be honest, you have been married for all these years, and I still see that you are a sister, not like a sister-in-law." Here's what I've brought to you, see if you like it or not? ”

Xie Qi unpacked the package and placed the group of twelve small clay dolls on the low table next to him, with a very happy face, "It's really cute, thank you Brother Rui." ”

"In the future, Qimei will have so many cute little dolls......"

"Please, Brother Rui, there are twelve of them, I have to give birth to so many, can't I be that ......" Although Xie Qi is a sparse daughter, she can't help but blushing and laughing when she says this.

"By the way, what about Sister Qingyi?"

"Out of the house."

"Huh?"

"What, only you are allowed to go out, and no one is allowed to go? Brother Bi is with her, you can rest assured. ”

"When I asked my second brother this morning, didn't he say that he wouldn't go for something?"

Xie Qi sneered and said, "People just don't go with you, do you know something interesting?" ”

"Rui'er is honest, what are you laughing at him?" Mrs. Zhuo was busy protecting her, stroking Xiao Jingrui's forehead and said, "When will you bring back a smart little daughter-in-law for your mother?" ”

"Mother......" Xiao Jingrui quickly pulled the topic away, "How is Brother Qingyao's illness today?" Seeing Qimei look so relaxed, most of them are better? ”

"It's much better. I took medicine in the afternoon and fell asleep, and now it's time to wake up, so go and have a look. ”

Xiao Jingrui took the opportunity to pull away as if he had been pardoned, and flashed into the house as if he was fleeing, and a laughter like a silver bell suddenly sounded behind him.

The east wing where Zhuo Qingyao and his wife live, there is a living room and a bedroom, and as soon as they enter, they smell a faint medicinal fragrance. Since the windows were closed, the light was slightly dim, but this was no obstacle for Xiao Jingrui, who had excellent eyesight, and he could see at a glance that the patient on the bed had sat up with his eyes open.

"Big brother, are you awake?" Xiao Jingrui hurriedly caught up and took a pillow to cushion behind him.

"You're laughing like this outside, I'll wake up a long time ago." Zhuo Qingyao's smile was still a little weak, but his complexion was obviously much better, Xiao Jingrui went to open a few windows to allow the indoor air to circulate, then turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, and asked with concern: "Big brother, do you feel better?" ”

"I can already get up and walk around, it's all my mother and Xiaoqi, and I still have to lie on the bed."

"They're doing it for your good, too." Xiao Jingrui looked at Zhuo Qingyao's waist, which was still a little weak, and the words that Yan Yujin said involuntarily flashed in his mind, and his face darkened slightly.

"What's wrong?" Zhuo Qingyao held his shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Did you encounter anything unhappy outside?" ”

"No ......" Xiao Jingrui smiled reluctantly, was silent for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking, "Big brother, since you came to the capital, you haven't fought with anyone, right?" ”

"Nope." Although Zhuo Qingyao answered quickly, his eyes flickered secretly, "Why do you ask like that?" ”

"Then ......" Xiao Jingrui hesitated for a moment, suddenly gritted his teeth, and said, "Then how did you get hurt?" ”

When he asked so frankly, Zhuo Qingyao was stunned, and only sighed after a long time and said, "You can see it?" Don't tell my mother and Xiaoqi, I'll raise it. ”

"Did my dad tell you to do something?" Xiao Jingrui grabbed Zhuo Qingyao's hand tightly and asked.

"Jing Rui, don't worry about so much, father-in-law is also for the country and the people......"

Xiao Jingrui looked at his eldest brother blankly, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Seize the heir, compete for the position, what kind of crazy thing is this, why are all the family and friends you value involved in it? Father, Xie Bi, Brother Su, Big Brother...... What can you get by fighting in the end?

Qimei is about to give birth, but her father sent her son-in-law out to do dangerous things, and when she came back and was injured, she didn't even dare to say it to the people in the family, how could it be an upright act? For the country and the people, can such a heavy word be used for such a thing?

"Jing Rui, are you thinking nonsense again?" Zhuo Qingyao gently patted his younger brother's cheek with his fingers, "It's because you have been too gentle since you were a child, and your mother and mother-in-law both favor you, so your father-in-law didn't think to discuss with you about the big things he planned." Now that the king is in chaos and covets the throne, how can his father-in-law, as the pillar of the court, stay out of the matter and not share the worries of the prince? You have also grown up, and you are considered to be the best among people in terms of literary and martial arts, and sometimes you have to take the initiative to help your father-in-law. ”

Xiao Jingrui pursed his lips, and his eyes became extremely deep. He is gentle, but he is not ignorant of his father's thoughts and the situation in the court. Listening to Zhuo Qingyao's words, he knew that he, and even Zhuo's father, had been completely subdued by his Xie family's father, and no more persuasion would be useless. It's just that I don't know what kind of thing Brother Qingyao took the risk to do......

"Big brother, your Tianquan swordsmanship has long been far superior to mine, there are few opponents in the rivers and lakes, what kind of person can hurt you so badly?"

Zhuo Qingyao sighed, "I'm ashamed to say that although I was defeated by him, I didn't even see his appearance clearly......"

"And where was the eldest brother injured?"

Zhuo Qingyao locked the two sword eyebrows and shook his head, "Father-in-law told me that there are some things I can't tell you...... I heard that you are very close to that Jiangzuo Sect Master Mei? ”

Xiao Jingrui groaned slightly, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"This Sect Master Mei is indeed a genius, and his father-in-law originally expected him to become the strong assistant of the crown prince, but he didn't expect that this person would be able to distinguish between good and evil, and he would fall to King Yu's side...... Jing Rui, I know that you are a person who is Nian'en, he has taken care of you before, and you are naturally close to him, but you still have to keep in mind the righteousness of the court. ”

Xiao Jingrui couldn't help but say: "Big brother, what the prince did, do you agree with it all......

"Don't talk nonsense. My father-in-law has already told me that the prince was framed in this private artillery case. ”

Xiao Jingrui knew that his eldest brother had always been orthodox and chivalrous, and it was extremely difficult to change what he had identified. Now that his injuries have not healed, he can't annoy him, so he has to lower his head and answer the word "yes" softly.
