When she returned home, Wen Yi first settled her grandmother, and then rushed back to the main room to serve her husband, afraid that he would eat too much wine and food. But when he returned to the room, he found that he was not resting in the bedroom, but sitting in the small study and meditating.

Wen Yi asked people to twist a hot handkerchief, took it into the small study, and wiped it on his forehead: "What's wrong?" But drunk? ”

Liu Dongxing took the handkerchief and put it on his face, sighed, looked up and smiled: "It's okay, I just drank a few glasses with me." I told them that I was injured and didn't dare to drink more, but few people dared to force me. ”

Wen Yi couldn't help but be a little amused when she thought of the treatment she received in the inner courtyard: "Our husband and wife are not what they used to be, and the long room is very face-saving." ”

Liu Dongxing smiled: "Everyone in the world is like this, let alone relatives?" That's not a bad thing, at least, you don't have to be angry when you go to their house. After a pause, he suddenly asked: "When Brother Ning came out of the study today, he made amends to me without a head, saying that he asked me to forgive his daughter-in-law's recklessness and rudeness." He wouldn't go into details, I didn't understand, so I had to answer casually, but what happened to you inside? ”

Wen Yi was angry when she thought of this, and hurriedly said Wen Xian's words, and said: "Listening to her tone, the second uncle and the second aunt are afraid that they will arrange you a lot on weekdays, so it is better to be estranged on both sides, and you don't have to be angry."

Liu Dongxing frowned, but didn't say anything, just took Wen Yi's hand, looked at her eyes seriously, and asked, "What do you think about this?" If I really killed so many people in the northern frontier, you ...... Do you think I'm brutal? ”

Wen Yi looked at him in surprise: "How could Xianggong ask such a stupid thing?" How can there be immortals in war? If you don't kill the enemy, the enemy will kill you. If you really want to investigate who is more brutal, it is better to blame the barbarians first, if they didn't invade south, how could they fight? ”

Liu Dongxing smiled, pulled her hand closer and kissed her: "Good lady, I know that you know my mind best." ”

Wen Yi glanced at him, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Whether it is a sergeant of our court or a sergeant of the enemy army, it is unbearable to have so many people die on the battlefield. If only the barbarians stopped invading south, if they don't come, we won't care about them. But when they come, and we don't stop them, more people will die. Although I am a believer in Buddhism, and I know in my heart that God has the virtue of a good life, and Buddhism also has the saying that all living beings are equal, but I am still a layman, and I cannot have great love in my heart, ignore the difference between the enemy and us, and I will not ignore the tens of thousands of people in my court for the lives of the tens of thousands of soldiers in the enemy army. Though...... It's really pitiful to die so miserably......"

Liu Dongxing smiled and hugged her waist and hugged her tightly: "Good lady, just have your words." What do people out there say, and what does it have to do with me? ”

Wen Yi blushed and broke away from him, glared at him twice, and then asked, "Listen to your tone, is there really someone outside who is gossiping about you?" She was very angry: "How can there be such idlers in the world? Since they pity the enemy, it is better to ask them to go to the north to fight in Wangcheng, so that they will also suffer a loss, and they will know that the enemy army is pitiful or not."

Liu Dongxing laughed and said: "That's not possible, although those people are hateful, but if I really get them over, I will be in danger of going to the great territory" He gently took Wen Yi's hand, pinched her fingers one by one, and said: "Those people can't eat grapes before they say that grapes are sour, and the army knows it well, a few gossips, but it is just a scary name for me, and it is not a bad thing, otherwise I am young, I can't suppress the scene wherever I am an official, I have a reputation that can bluff people, and idle people don't dare to bully me." It's that when you're walking around, you might have to listen to some criticism, but you just don't hear it. ”

Wen Yi's fingers were tickled by him, and for some reason, the roots of his ears became more and more red, so he simply withdrew his hand, took the hot handkerchief, walked to a place half a foot away from him and sat down, his eyes wandered: "Today, I have a treat in the long room, I heard that only outsiders are on the banquet in the outer courtyard, I don't know who they are?" ”

Liu Dongxing looked at her amusedly, decided to restrain himself for the time being, and said: "There are not many people, except for the second uncle and Brother Ning, and a few Pingyang scholars who live in the Shilang Mansion, which are your eldest cousin and the young master of the Li family." ”

Wen Yi was stunned: "Big cousin? Even the cousin of the Li family went? ”

Liu Dongxing nodded: "It's a family banquet, and I don't want to put on a big banquet, so most of the people invited are my own relatives." However, these relatives are not ordinary identities, your eldest cousin is also in the Hanlin Academy, and your eldest brother is considered a colleague, I heard that it was your eldest brother who personally sent the post, as for the little brother of the Li family, it was Brother An who came forward and specially selected Commander Li to send it to the Li family when he was not at home. However, there are still a few serious distant relatives on the side of the Liu family and the Jiang family, but they were not invited to come, maybe they think it is too far? ”

Wen Yi gave him a strange look. If the distant relatives of the Liu Jiang family were not invited because they were too estranged, wouldn't the Li family be even farther away? Strictly speaking, the Li family is a distant relative of Liufang, and it has nothing to do with Changfang. If Li Dongrui didn't have a father who was the commander of the forbidden army, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so decent, right? She looked down and thought for a moment, and asked, "Are you all sitting together, eating, drinking, and talking?" Did the eldest uncle say anything to the eldest cousin and Regoer? ”

Hearing her words, Liu Dongxing laughed even deeper: "You don't have to worry about this, Uncle Nie's actions are becoming more and more infallible." He specially prepared a gift today, sent it to the door early, drank tea and chatted with Brother Xian and us in the outer study, talked about the Four Books and Five Classics for half an hour, and invited a few Pingyang scholars to talk about the old friendship, and then a small servant came to report that there was an errand in the Hanlin Academy looking for him to go back to do, so he took his leave and didn't even eat. As for the young master of the Li family, after coming to the door, he was also peaceful, and exchanged a few polite words, but he only obediently took half a cup of tea, and he couldn't sit still, and a few words provoked Brother An to run away with him, saying that he was going to compete in archery, and he didn't come out until dinner, and after eating, he said that he had already made an appointment to see the ancient sword collected by the Li family, and the two ran away again. I didn't come back until I took my leave. ”

Wen Yi was dumbfounded when she heard this, and couldn't help laughing: "It's just that the eldest cousin, he was originally a clear-minded person, but the cousin of the Li family ...... Maybe it's crooked? ”

Liu Dongxing smiled: "Who knows? Looking at his face, it always feels like it's intentional. I see that your eldest uncle's face is a little reluctant, and he seems to be a little angry with Brother An, blaming him for not following the young master of the Li family to mess around, but in front of everyone, it is not easy to say it directly. The second uncle didn't feel anything, they just pulled me to talk, and your eldest cousin also asked me about my experience in Beiwangcheng from time to time. I think he still has some insight, not the scholar who blindly promoted literature and suppressed martial arts. ”

Wen Yi said: "I haven't seen my eldest brother much, but I've heard a lot of rumors about him, and the clansmen praise him for his excellent character and learning, and he acts peacefully, but it doesn't look like it's fake." There is no vanity under the fame, since he can make the Ge family look at it, he has his own advantages. She has been in contact with Ge a few times, and she is very confident in the style of the Ge family, knowing that Wen Xian and Ge are in love, she naturally feels that Wen Xian is not bad.

Liu Dongxing said: "He is indeed not a bad person, sometimes I even think he understands better than your eldest uncle, when your eldest uncle talks to us, he shows a helpless look several times." It's just that he has his own ideas, but he doesn't persuade his relatives, what's the use? ”

"Maybe it's because it's not good for people to persuade people directly?" Wen Yi was not very interested in Wen Xian, in her memory, there were at least a few years of peace in the long house, but it was another thing in the eastbound dialect that aroused her interest, "You said that the eldest uncle said something to you, what did he say?" ”

"It's nothing, just a few complaints." Liu Dongxing smiled, "Your eldest uncle was really implicated by my second uncle, although he was still sitting in the squire position, but the boss didn't want to see him, and there were many subordinates in the ministry who didn't accept him, and Yushi couldn't move the second uncle for a while, so he hit him with the idea, and turned over the old accounts from more than ten years ago, maybe when, this fire will burn on his head." He said that he was humbly taught in front of outsiders, but in front of his own family, he couldn't help but spit out his bitterness. There was indeed a problem with the accounts of the old year, but at that time he was not a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, but he was just a small man, and he couldn't act without obeying the will of his boss, but his old boss was dead again, and many old people in the Ministry of Rites had left, and no one could prove it for him. Originally, the saint actually knew about it, so he didn't investigate the matter of the year for many years, but this time the saint was sick, so it was not good to bother him with such a trivial matter, and His Royal Highness the Prince, who was acting for the government, didn't know anything about the events of the year, so he would mistakenly believe their slanderous rumors......" He raised his head and winked at Wen Yi, "He also asked me to comment on the reasoning, saying that he was really wronged, if someone could tell His Royal Highness the truth." ”

Wen Yi was a little confused when she heard this: "What did he say...... Is it hinting at us? She was only surprised, "Is he going to ask you to tell me about it, and then I will tell the crown princess?" She didn't know what to say.

Liu Dongxing said with a smile: "I think he's just a little tentative, if you really tell the crown princess about this, it will naturally be an unexpected joy, if you don't go, he will find another way." He has been an official in the capital for many years, and he is not stupid, so it is impossible that he really has no other connections except for my second uncle. My second uncle was indeed favored by the saints in the past, but he was only on the throne of the Ministry of Rites, and he was able to get your eldest uncle to the capital to be a six-part langzhong, which is already the limit, and if he can be a waiter, your eldest uncle must have his own ability. ”

Wen Yi pursed her lips, suppressed the anger in her chest, and said coldly: "Since the eldest uncle is capable, we juniors will not be nosy, so as not to spoil his calculations."

"What's going on?" Liu Dongxing walked up to her with a smile, took her hand and looked at her face carefully, "But what else happened to the inner courtyard seat?" ”

"It's nothing." Wen Yi thought about it, and then told the news that Wen Hui had leaked, "Tell me, what's wrong with Changfang?" I want to climb the high branches, but I don't want to think about what kind of situation I am. I understand that they are in a hurry and want to find a support as soon as possible, so they have used all the ways that can be used, but they also have to consider other people's ideas? The Huang family is not worried about not being able to find their nephew and daughter-in-law, so why do they have to rush to go? If I hadn't stopped my uncle and grandmother from speaking, maybe she would have asked me to go to Huang's house to say yes."

Liu Dongxing raised his eyebrows: "This is indeed ridiculous, the two young ladies in the long room are all concubines, right?" Your sister who is Xingliu is worthy of it, but it's a pity that her reputation is too loud for the nephew of the Huang family to deserve it. As for our big brother Luo's family, it is even more unattainable. ”

Wen Yi glanced at him with disgust: "Okay, the sixth sister is now much more restrained than before, so don't be mean to her anymore." ”

"Good, good." Liu Dongxing said with a smile, "Let's just say that the Huang family's family affairs are good, I dare to pack the ticket, it is absolutely impossible to make the nephew of Huang Shenjiang, who was originally his brother's widow, Dumiaomiao." His brother was seriously injured and died in Beiwangcheng to save him, and his sister-in-law died due to dystocia, Huang Shen and his family regarded this nephew as heavier than their own son, and raised him by his side since he was a child, and he heard that he read very well, and he had already won the show, and his martial arts were also good, and he was only fifteen years old, and he could pull a strong bow of two and a half stones. Several generals in the army were very optimistic about him. Such a good seedling, if he wasn't too young, maybe Huang Shen would have brought him on his northern expedition this year. Not to mention the concubines of the squire family, even if it is a concubine, people have to choose carefully. ”

Wen Yi said with a smile: "Even so, even if my uncle and grandmother really want me to say yes, I just say that I am not familiar with the Huang family, and I can't offend anyone." ”

Liu Dongxing said: "It's okay to push." I think they didn't just have the idea of beating the Huang family, but they specially invited the little brother of the Li family to come today, I'm afraid they also have other meanings. Andy whispered to me that his grandmother and father intended to propose to the eldest lady of the Li family for him, so that he could test the tone of the Li family. It's just that Brother An didn't have the courage to say that Miss Li was too powerful, he didn't dare to climb high, and he was scolded by his father for a few days. ”

Wen Yi really didn't know what to say: "Sister Li? This...... It's really ......"

Liu Dongxing said with a smile: "It can be seen that your eldest uncle is really anxious, not only showing his daughter around, but also attracting a large group of young men or something, your eldest cousin is quite valued in the Hanlin Academy, although he is not as conspicuous as your eldest brother, his popularity is very good, and he is also appreciated by the first few scholars, and the little brother of the Li family is the only son of the commander of the forbidden army." It's a pity that the time is too late, and his calculations may not be successful. ”

Wen Yi wasn't worried about this, but just asked, "What did the second uncle tell you?" But also asked you to help him say good things? ”

Liu Dongxing said: "What good words can I say for him?" He just asked me something. But I've only been back in the capital for a few days, what can I know? To tell you the truth, he was helpless. ”

Wen Yi was a little confused when she said this: "What are you asking?" ”

Liu Dongxing didn't answer, but asked her: "Did the neighbor Zhu family send someone to give gifts yesterday?" Did you return the favor? ”

Wen Yi blinked: "It's back, because of my grandmother's instructions, I also specially increased it by two percent." Mrs. Zhu often came to chat with my grandmother, and I am very grateful to her. After a pause, he suddenly remembered: "Yes, when Mrs. Zhu came yesterday, she left a message, telling you to come and sit down when you are free these days." She pursed her lips and smiled, glancing at her husband, "It is said that Master Zhu really wants to see the demeanor of the young hero."

Liu Dongxing's eyes quickly flashed a fine light, but a mischievous smile appeared on his face, and he reached out and pinched her son: "Naughty" said and got up and walked out, "Then I'll go over and sit down now, let's make sea bass at night, the sea bass yesterday did a good job." ”

Wen Yi didn't expect him to say that he would leave, so he hurriedly chased to the door, and when he saw that he really went to the door, he was depressed, so he called the girl to pass the word to the kitchen, and went to the west room.

When she arrived at the West Chamber, Mrs. Lu had already rested and asked her, "What did your second aunt confess...... What are you going to do? (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )。.。
