Chapter 22: Out of the House
"Shen Xing, Tsing Yi," Xu Ling said tremblingly, "Her father is, Shen Ya." ”
Afterwards, Xu Ling looked at Xu Zhai, expecting to get an answer, there was hope that it was not what he thought in his heart.
Xu Zhai nodded, and at that moment, Xu Ling's heart seemed to have collapsed, and his eyes were full of tears.
"Maybe God is giving you a chance to make amends."
This sentence made Xu Ling regain his strength, and he slowly got up and said goodbye to Xu Zhai.
"Son, understood."
In the school, after listening to Xu Qi's interpretation of "Pu Jia", the boys felt a little embarrassed.
Wang Ranyi has the same temperament as Xu Su, and likes to be naughty, so he was the first to jump out,
"Teacher, students don't understand, what do we learn to do with such humming poems? Now students are not old enough to talk about marriage, isn't it inappropriate to talk about this kind of love and love poems in the first lesson? ”
Xu Qi was not annoyed when he saw someone stirring up trouble,
"Well, at first glance, this poem is indeed about love. But this poem, in the eyes of many literati in our Great Zhou, has a relationship with His Majesty. ”
Everyone was interested, and secretly guessed, did Your Majesty once love but couldn't do it?
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Xu Qi asked again,
"What was the most famous battle before His Majesty ascended the throne?"
Xu Qian replied,
"The Battle of Reeds."
Xu Qi nodded, and asked again, "Why do you win?" ”
This time it's Yue Jinxiu's turn,
"Win more with less, win by surprise."
"Who knows?"
This time Wang Ran stood up,
"The students knew that there were more than 5,000 rebels at that time, and they wanted to kill more than 2,000 people led by His Majesty in the reeds. His Majesty used roundabout tactics to play hide-and-seek with the rebels in the reeds, and in the end, more than 5,000 sins were eradicated. ”
As soon as the words fell, Ming Xuan suddenly realized,
"The student knows, the reed is a reed, and it is written in the poem that a man loves a woman but can't pursue it, just like the rebels can't find His Majesty's army in the reeds, just like in the middle of the water, like in the water, isn't it just that the rebels want to find it but can't find it, and they feel that they are everywhere."
The rest of the people also understood instantly, Xu Qi smiled and nodded,
"You can teach."
At that time, Xiao Ding was originally a vassal king who guarded Yecheng, but the first emperor was critically ill and did not have time to leave an edict, and the vassal kings from all over the country moved their minds.
Among them, the more powerful King of Zhongning, who was obsessed with ghosts, joined forces with Beimo with the intention of usurping the throne.
Only Xiao Ding saw through the intention of the Northern Desert, raised troops from Yecheng, and then with the help of Xu Zhai and Xu Ling's father and son, they recruited troops and horses, won the hearts of the people, and finally won an army of 300,000, except for the rebels, and King Qin rescued them.
Approaching Jiankang City, Xiao Dingxian led 3,200 men to march from the path, but was informed in advance by the rebels and ambushed in Luedang.
Xiao Ding was in danger, won more with less, and finally stopped the king of Zhongning and beheaded him under the horse. After the death of the first emperor, Xiao Ding complied with the will of the people and ascended the throne as king.
Xu Su sat on the bamboo bowl and enjoyed the rest time with a comfortable face. The other four walked ahead.
Xu Qian looked back, turned his head and opened the folding fan to cover Xu Qingyang's head,
"It's getting hotter and hotter this day, Mo'er, come out tomorrow and bring a paper umbrella to Qingqing to shade the sun."
"Yes."
After Mo'er recuperated, she began to follow Xu Qingyang again and serve closely.
Wen Chenan also looked up at the sky, as if he thought of something,
"When I got up early this morning, I was a little worried when I saw my eldest brother looking at the sky, I should be really worried about the drought."
Xu Qingyang nodded and agreed,
"After the eldest brother became an official, he has always been concerned about the people's livelihood. The year before last, the flood occurred, and the eldest brother followed the governor to the disaster area. ”
"I used to hear my father say that Uncle Xu was a literati and admirable. Today, I heard Mr. talk about His Majesty's army, Uncle Xu and his grandfather saw the current affairs clearly, and the deeds of assisting Mingjun are really admirable. Now my eldest brother is also such a person, and in the future, I want to be such a person. ”
Listening to Lu Shixian patting his family's ass, Xu Su was still very comfortable listening at first, but when he got to the back, he felt that it was not right.
"Brother Shixian, although our two families have a friendship, but after all, you are for Lingjiang in the future, so we won't meet on the battlefield."
"Shut up!"
Xu Qian scolded, and everyone rarely saw Xu Qian angry, and they all lowered their heads.
"How can the war between the two countries be used as a child's play, you guys, send the little boy back to the room and take care of it. Ah Yan, take a good look at your son-in-law and let him do his homework. ”
"Yes."
"Third brother, you, you want to imprison me."
Xu Qian glanced at the few people who were carrying the bamboo, and Xu Su was carried away like this.
"Third brother! Third brother! ”
Xu Su shouted all the way, and Ah Yan persuaded on the side,
"Little boy, don't shout, the master is in the house today, if you let him know, it's not a punishment like confinement."
Thinking of his father, Xu Su had no choice but to shut up.
Xu Qingyang couldn't bear to be punished before his fourth brother's injury was healed, so he thought about pleading,
"Third brother, the four feet are not good yet."
"I naturally know," Xu Qian interrupted, "I just asked him to go back to recuperate, besides, with my father's eldest brother here, it's my turn to fix him." ”
"Third brother, then you are,"
Xu Qian pretended to be mysterious and smiled slightly,
"Qingqing hasn't been out of the house for a long time, right?"
"Huh?" Xu Qingyang looked puzzled, and then understood.
Xu Qian looked at the two silly boys standing next to him again,
"You two haven't had time to appreciate the style of Jiankang City, the afternoon sun is just right, I'll take you there."
When the words fell, Xu Qian gave his personal servant Ah Liang a look, and Ah Liang immediately understood and nodded in response.
"Shixian, Chen'an, you keep up."
After that, Xu Qian pulled Xu Qian to pick up Xu Qingyang and ran away, Lu Shixian reacted quickly, and also pulled Wen Chen'an up, and the four of them left the personal maid in place.
Mo'er subconsciously called Miss, but Ah Liang stopped her,
"With the third prince here, it will be fine, you can do whatever you have to do."
The new little guy assigned to Wen Chen'an is Shuangfu by Xu Jian's side, and he is already very clear about the behavior of this third son, so he patted the overwhelmed twelve,
"It's okay, let's go back."
The four of them ran to the small door and stopped breathlessly.
"Third brother, this is too bold. Today, my father and eldest brother are at home, and if I ask, I will go to the ancestral hall again. ”
Lu Shixian and Wen Chenan glanced at each other, and the "again" in Xu Qingyang's mouth was self-evident, this kind of sneaking out of the house was definitely not the first time.
"Didn't the third uncle say that the art of war is cloudy, and the most dangerous place is the safest place. Just now, Old Man Yue went to find his father, if there is something important, he must be too busy with business to take care of us.
On the contrary, there is nothing important, when they think of us and ask their subordinates, they will only say that I reprimanded the fourth brother. Father will definitely go to the trouble of the fourth brother, and we are just as safe. ”
The three of them were speechless, and Xu Qingyang silently prayed for Xu Su in his heart.
Xu Qian took out the money bag, took out three or four pieces of broken silver, looked around again, found a stone of suitable size, and threw it at the feet of one of the guards.
The little guy was startled, turned his head to look, and saw Xu Qian thinking about beckoning. looked at his classmate who was dozing off again, and tiptoed to Xu Qian's side.
"Third son, you are."
The little guy looked behind Xu Qian, and instantly understood, and suddenly looked embarrassed.
"This, third son, the master is at home today, it's not good for you to go out at this time."
Xu Qian couldn't help but say, took out the broken silver prepared in advance, took the little girl's hand, and put the broken silver in his hand.
"There is a cook from the Northern Desert in Xiangmanlou, and the roasted leg of lamb is a must. At this time, you should be able to buy the first batch of baked lamb shank, and the master will bring you some to taste when he comes back. ”
Looking at the silver in his hand, and then at Xu Qian, the little guy was moved,
"But over there, the little one can't explain it."
"Hey, you can push me when the time comes. I was arrested before, and I have never been involved with you. ”
"The little one is either afraid of being involved, or worried that you will be punished, as well as the young lady and the two sons."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, you won't be able to catch up any later. Old rules, go for it. ”
The little servant put away the broken silver, turned away, patted his sleepy companion, whispered something in his ear, and the two left.
There was no one at the door, and the four of them walked out openly.
Xu Qian pulled out a veil from his sleeve and put it on Xu Qingyang,
"That's fine. We've got to hurry, or we'll not be able to eat a leg of lamb. ”
A few people ran and ran, Xu Qian felt more and more that something was wrong, and at this time Wen Chenan also noticed it,
"How do I feel, it looks like someone is following us."
A few people looked back, but there were no suspicious people except for pedestrians coming and going.
At this time, Xu Qingyang reacted,
"Ming Qi, is that you?"
On the wall on the side, a person suddenly jumped down, and Xu Qian subconsciously protected Xu Qingyang behind him.
"Girl, my subordinates don't worry about the girl, so I secretly follow and ask the girl for forgiveness."
Everyone looked at Ming Qi with some curiosity, and Ming Qi stood up from behind Xu Qian,
"It's okay, this is my third brother, Brother Lu Jiashixian, Wen Jiachen'an. This is the secret guard sent by my father to protect me, named Ming Qi. Now that everyone knows each other, it doesn't matter. ”
Xu Qian looked at Ming Qi, and then at the wall that was much higher than himself, and had a plan,
"You, light work is good?"
"It's okay, it's not proficient."
"Then, there is one thing, and it is tiring."
Inside the Xu Mansion
Ruyao walked in, saw Xu Ling looking at the bookshelf in a daze, and said softly,
"Master, the little maid came to report, the third son took the young lady and the two little sons of the Lu family and the Wen family out of the house."
Xu Ling nodded, not angry,
"Where's Rong'er?"
"After the second son received the errand of the government office, he has been following Master Li, the captain of Sili, to deal with official affairs, and he has not come back for two days."
Xu Ling slowly turned around and sat down,
"Rong'er is diligent, you go and send someone to supervise him, he has just taken office, he is mainly studying, don't be too tired, he must come back for dinner tonight."
"Yes," Ruyao asked again, "Master wants to prepare a family banquet?" ”
