Chapter Eighty-Eight: Five Flavors
"Fortunately, there is porridge boiling on the stove every night, the stove is hot, the porridge is good, the sweet potatoes are also good, the night is cold, and the drink is warm and warm."
Arrange the things and hand the oiled paper bag to Xie Ling, "It's baked, I don't know if it's to your liking." ”
Xie Ling opened the paper bag, and the fragrance became stronger, and the sweetness that penetrated into people's hearts. It's still very hot, I saw him holding it with both hands, and he refused to put it down, the sweet potato is indeed very big, and it is just right to break it into three parts, and it is a night snack.
The three of them divided, Xie Ling took it and ate it first The two of them were not hypocritical, they learned from him, and after taking a bite, they didn't want to stop again. Eat a few bites while it's hot, eat happily, and talk a lot. "When we were children, in Zhuangzi, I didn't like the sweet potatoes made by others, so I ran to dig them, made a fire, roasted them and ate them, in order to grab this thing, my sister Yan didn't pit me, but at that time, the child's heart was not controlled, and then I made a joke at home, and my sister Yan was unhappy and pit me again, or when I was a child. ”
Lin Zi accosted: "Xie Shaoqing misses his sister." ”
"I miss her? It's just that she's smaller, let her go. ”
Lin Yuan's brother and sister looked at each other and smiled.
The three of them talked late at night and had a good conversation. Xie Ling has been taught under the knees of the old man Xie since he was a child, and he is talented, and then returned to Su Yue with him at the age of ten, and concentrates on being a qualified heir, with a steady face, but in fact, he jumps out, but he is respectful and polite in front of his elders, and in front of his juniors, he has always been a family guardian.
Xie Ling's knowledge, resourcefulness, above everyone, Lin Yuan's brothers and sisters are also very knowledgeable, they have lost their parents since childhood, and they have today's achievements by themselves, people are warm and cold, people's hearts are changeable, I don't know how much body taste, juvenile experience, it is exactly what Xie Ling does not have, their tenacity and persistence are admirable, out of the mud, but they still maintain their hearts, Xie Ling admires them very much.
It's okay to say that it's okay to see it at first sight, but there are not many opportunities for this kind of unguarded and casual communication, so it's still full of interest late at night.
Xie Ling returned to Xie Mansion, the sky was already bright, and Thirteen had been waiting for a while.
"Childe, there is an abnormality in the people in Beijing, and the other party has a close relationship with Concubine Zheng, it seems that he wants to take advantage of the decline of King Ling first, so as to take advantage of the opportunity. ”
"It's okay, follow their plan, and it's all over then. ”
"By the way, the fourth master sent a message, and he seemed to be very worried about Miss Nine, and asked Childe not to let Miss do too dangerous things, and he didn't want Miss to get involved in right and wrong. ”
"Oh, Fourth Uncle knows?" took the letter from Thirteen. "This is a coming-and-coming, and no one in the world can avoid it. Sister Yan's temperament, it is impossible to stand by and watch, send a message to the fourth uncle to rest assured, we will never let Sister Yan have anything to do. ”
"Yes. ”
"What happened to Jiang Gongzi?"
Everything went well, but the person sent to protect Miss Zheng said that Miss Zheng seemed very worried, but did not ask. ”
Quietly told her that Jiang Yu was all right. ”
"Yes. ”
"From now on, send half of the manpower to secretly control the officials who are found to be spies, and work with Dali Temple to lay the net, so that they don't notice. At the same time, the Jingzhao Mansion and the forbidden army were notified that during this time, they would step up their defense and strictly control the pass. ”
"The subordinates understand. ”
"Let's go down. ”
Xie Ling went back to the room, washed and changed clothes, processed the letters from all sides, and saw that it was almost time, and he arrived at the Tianxiang Building in the city, as soon as the carriage stopped, someone immediately took him to a private room on the third floor, and he was the last to arrive.
Today, King Ye is rarely free, and at the invitation of King Jun, he came to have dinner together, and Nan Qi, who is also King Jun's cousin, also came.
When King Ye saw Xie Ling coming in, he said to King Jun, "I didn't expect that the fifth brother invited Xie Shaoqing with him today." ”
Xie Shaoqing has a good insight, and he is fortunate to invite him as a guest. ”
After greeting each other, Xie Ling took care of himself and made King Jun bow, King Ye was surprised in his heart, and glanced at Nan Qi, after all, he was the eldest son, and his bearing was naturally different, and he didn't show it on his face at all.
Nan Qi smiled and said, "Today, His Royal Highness King Ye and His Royal Highness King Jun are brothers, and I am also the cousin of the two of them. ”
"It's good not to disturb a few small gatherings. ”
"Fifth brother, you invited us to come today, I'm afraid it's not so simple to get together, right?"
"Yes, I do have something to say today, but if it's a drink, let them serve it first. ”
As he spoke, he asked the cronies guarding the door outside to ask someone to pass the food and wine.
King Ye faintly sensed in his heart that this younger brother was not simple, could it be that he also had a plan to fight?
The wine and food are all together, King Jun has a look, and asks his subordinates to guard the door, and they all know that they are about to get to the point.
King Jun personally poured wine for a few people, all waiting for him to speak, I thought I could do it easily, in fact, how could it be so easy, King Ye's mother is the daughter of Yunnan Wangfu, and his mother is the concubine of Yunnan Wangfu, the two want to be closer than other brothers, in terms of blood, their mother has always been unfavored, and has always been supported by the Empress Yuan, when he first studied political affairs, this brother personally taught himself. But he wants to fight with him, no matter how many reasons, no matter what noble and great, it is a betrayal after all.
Wu Zi picked up the wine glass and drank it down, calming his mind, "Big brother, I was also taught by you when I was young, but I still want to fight, I really don't want to be a head-on enemy with you, I know this is shameless, I hope that the eldest brother will give up, and then assist me to become the future master of Da Chu." ”
As soon as Nan Qi heard this, he was angry, "You"
King Ye interrupted him, and asked Xie Ling instead, "Xie Shaoqing has also decided to assist King Jun?" Even the fifth brother refused to call.
"Yes, don't you know what His Royal Highness King Ye wants? Who does His Royal Highness want to live for? His Royal Highness King Jun is in the same Yunnan palace as your mother's family, His Royal Highness's biggest scruple is not a scruple, if you don't like it, why should you hold it in your hands?"
"Oh? You know what this king wants, who doesn't know Da Chu? I don't know what Xie Shaoqing thinks, as for your Royal Highness King Jun, doesn't he know?"
Without waiting for Xie Ling to answer, he turned to King Jun again, his eyes contained the majesty of this brother-in-law, the anger in his blood, and the disappointment of those close to him, "King Jun knows my ideals, but he still wants to fight?"
King Jun no longer hesitated, and met his eyes directly, refusing to flinch at all, "Yes, big brother, I want it too, and I think I'm more suitable." ”
King Ye got up directly, "Hehe, I want them all, let's see who can get it." ”
After speaking, he brushed his sleeves away, and Xie Ling said, "Is the ideal His Highness's or someone else's, is His Highness unclear in his heart?" King Ye was stunned and left quickly, Nan Qi glanced at the two of them and followed.
King Jun poured another cup for himself, "I didn't expect it to be like this"
"Does Your Highness feel guilty?"
"It's true that we are not liberated by anyone, and we can't dictate other people's ideas, everyone has something they want to do, and there will always be stumbling blocks on a road, and if you want to take this path, you can't care if the stumbling block in this lesson is a stumbling block that you know. Thousands of reasons, are just to make excuses for themselves, just think about it, there is nothing wrong with this, just do it, there is nothing wrong, the most unhappy thing is to do it while repenting, Your Highness is doing a good job today, touching the hearts of others, no matter what others say, it is said in vain, Your Highness today, at least sincere and not hypocritical. ”
"Why don't you doubt me no matter what I do?"
"Because I chose you, and I, believe in myself. ”
When he said this, he was still praising himself, King Jun is not an ordinary person after all, after a few glasses of wine, his mood naturally stabilized, "Has the Xie family always been so confident?"
"At least that's what you see. ”
This person really can't be serious for a while, and the wine has been drunk, what should be faced is still to be faced, no longer drinking, this day Xianglou's dishes are also a must, and the two of them fill their stomachs elegantly.
"I kind of figured it out, what is the first salute and then the soldier, the courtesy is thoughtful, the most important thing is the soldier, and I still have to fight against the eldest brother in the future. ”
"King Ye, they won't deal with us specifically, but now there is love to reverse your image in everyone's hearts, make you a candidate, and make Your Majesty and everyone change their opinion of you. ”
"I'm ready. ”
The two of them were full of food and drink, but the two Ye Wang over there were uncomfortable, and they couldn't say that they were angry, but they couldn't vent their depression.
Ye Wang Wu sat in the carriage and didn't speak, Nan Qi also had mixed feelings in his heart, and neither of them spoke.
