As the three of Chang Suining's master and servant approached, the sound of the flute stopped.

The person who was playing the flute also subconsciously turned sideways.

It was a very young man's face, in his early twenties.

It was already the end of spring, but he was still wearing a thick fox fur cloak, Rao was like this, and it still made people feel thin and thin.

The face that can be called handsome is too fair, and the lip color is slightly lighter than that of ordinary people.

There was an attendant standing beside him, Seeing Chang Sui Ning coming, he whispered in his ear: "Shizi, this is that Chang Niangzi......"

Chang Sui Ning didn't know what the attendant said, but when she saw that the other party was standing by the river, she couldn't pretend not to see it, so she stopped five or six steps away, and raised her hand-

"Prince Rong."

The young man's face was surprised when he heard this: "You recognize me?" ”

Chang Suining shook his head: "Guess." ”

After the other party was stunned for a moment, he suddenly realized: "It's the same." ”

He smiled, as if there was a hint of self-deprecation: "A child of the clan who is as sick and weak as me in the capital, I can't find a second one." ”

That's true.

But Chang Sui Ning could recognize him, but there was another reason - his eyebrows and eyes were seven points similar to his father King Rong, and no one believed him if he said that he was not his own.

Thinking of King Rong, the former elder, Chang Suining asked: "I heard that the prince of King Rong was frightened and sick before, I don't know if he is better now?" ”

In this matter, it has something to do with her.

On the list given by Yu Zeng that day, she saw that the prince of Rong was also there, so she asked Xi'er more about Li Lu, the son of King Rong, but she didn't know that she heard Xi'er say that the other party was sick, and she was scared on the day of the blessing ceremony-

In other words, she, the unlucky ghost who was attacked by the elephant that day, was not frightened, but she scared the prince of Rong Wang into sickness.

But it is also a disaster that is not unjustified.

"It's no longer in the way......" Hearing her mention this, Li Lu looked a little uncomfortable: "Let Chang Niangzi laugh." ”

Chang Suining disagreed: "A matter of luck for a while, there is nothing to laugh at." ”

She is bold, but she does not look down on the cowardly.

The able-bodied are not qualified to take a stand to ridicule the sick and weak—just as a lucky man would be foolish if he went up to the scene and mocked the unlucky.

Seeing that the girl had taken the envoy to the river to fetch water, Li Lu was a little stunned.

Seeing that she skillfully beat the two buckets of water to eight points full, and then lifted it easily, his face was full of surprise.

Watching the pair of master and servant walk away, the surprise on Li Lu's face still did not fade: "I heard a few days ago that the prince of Yingguo was beaten by Chang Niangzi, I didn't believe it......"

And now, he couldn't help but be a little worried about the injury of the prince of Yingguo.

"Isn't it...... This water is really real. The attendant couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's really worthy of being a girl in General Changda's mansion." ”

Li Lu nodded: "Yes." ”

The girl in the mansion of General Chang - he repeated in his heart.

"Shizi, it's windy here, why don't you go back."

"There's no hurry." Li Lu looked at the green mountains on the other side of the river: "The scenery here is very good, but I feel that my breathing is smooth......"

As he spoke, he held the flute in his hand and brought it to his lips again.

Listening to the quiet sound of the flute that sounded again behind him, Chang Suining did not stop at his feet.

King Rong is the youngest brother of the first emperor-

The first emperor refers to the father of the first crown prince, the late husband of the Holy Book Emperor, Emperor Hongxiao.

Soon after the death of Emperor Hongxiao, the first prince who was supposed to inherit the unification also died of illness, and in the midst of the turmoil, under the discussion of the former Ming Empress and a group of ministers, the current Emperor of the Holy Book was appointed as the new emperor.

However, after Li Bing ascended the throne, he showed a state of absurdity and obscenity, and there was no way to rule, and then because of an unspeakable spring disease, he was riddled with illness, and his temperament gradually became violent, and the court was full of complaints-

Three years later, when Dasheng and Beidi won a great victory, the Xuance army returned to the court, and the Empress Dowager Ming advocated the abolition of Li Bing's throne after many proposals from the ministers.

Soon after being deposed, Li Bing died of illness and was buried with the ceremony of the king of the county, so the world is not commensurate with the emperor, and when it comes to the first emperor, it refers to Emperor Hongxiao.

And King Rong is the last cousin of Emperor Hongxiao's generation, and the youngest uncle of the first prince.

Now King Rong, who is the governor of Yizhou, has only one son like Li Lu.

Because Li Lu was weak, he stayed in Beijing to recuperate.

Obviously it is to recuperate, but in fact it is more like a proton.

Chang Suining asked Chang Kuo or Qiao Yubai about some court affairs when he was free in the past two days, and Qiao Yubai told her yesterday that it was reported that when Emperor Shengshu ascended the throne and selected the prince from among the children of the clan to inherit the unification in the future, he originally thought about appointing Li Lu as the prince, but King Rong and many ministers thought that Li Lu was weak and could not take on this great responsibility, so he gave up.

Yes, this prince of King Rong once passed by the position of prince.

Fortunately, it passed by.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to hear the sound of the flute at this time.

It is not difficult to see from the current affairs of the Pei family that the so-called return of power after the Ming Dynasty is just to stabilize people's hearts-

The struggle for power is always gradually tightened.

Just as the Empress Ming had the heart of being the emperor before, but she still elected Li Bing as the new monarch, the three years when the new monarch was deaf were also the three years when she took the opportunity to seize power and win people's hearts.

When some clan officials spurned the Empress Ming behind their backs, they often sarcastically cared that her greatest skill was to give birth to a pair of short-lived good children.

When these children were alive, they won her honor.

When these children died, the timing was just right, and they also sought the greatest benefit for her.

- Enough to fight, but short enough.

Chang Suining retracted his fingers holding the barrel and looked at the bluestone path ahead.

At this moment, a dark cyan figure coming from a fork in the road on the side broke into her sight.

It's Cui Jing.

"Little carp, you're really here!" Ah Dian behind Cui Jing walked quickly and stepped forward to snatch the bucket in Chang Suining's hand: "I'll help you!" ”

Although he came to Dayun Temple to find Chang Suining, he was a man in the end, and it was not suitable to follow her all the time, so he was placed in the Xuan Ce Army by Cui Jing.

Chang Suining had never seen Cui Jing in the past few days, but when he met at this time, he thought of what happened that day, so he said: "Thank you Cui Dadu for the events of that day." ”

"Thank you for what I did." Cui Jing was expressionless: "I haven't helped much." ”

The implication is that he didn't help fight people.

Seeing that he was also going back to the temple, Chang Suining walked forward together, and said as he went: "I mean that the matter of beating me up was publicized——"

Cui Jing's feet paused slightly: "Why do you think it will be me?" ”

Chang Suining: "Guess." ”

After that, he added: "It's easy to guess." ”

Cui Jing: "......"

How can he seem to make him a fool when he asks rhetorically?

"It's just a matter of hand." He didn't deny it anymore.

Chang Suining asked, "Why does Governor Cui want to help me publicize this matter?" ”

"Everyone knows it, but it can make Ming Jin have a little scruples in the future."

Chang Suining nodded, just as she guessed.

She asked again, "Then why did Governor Cui help me?" ”

"Little carp, do you still need to ask?" Ah at the forefront, nodded and said without replying: "Of course, it's because we are all a family." ”

Cui Jing was noncommittal: "Chang Niangzi had a conflict with Ming Jin because of her seniors - the seniors were from the Xuance Mansion, and this matter should have been resolved by me." ”

Chang Sui was calm, it turned out that it was because of this.

"But Ah Dian is also my friend and family." "That's what I'm supposed to do," she said. ”

"What's there to fight about?" Ah Dian suddenly put down the bucket, turned back to face the two, and grabbed one of Chang Suining's arms first: "Little Ah Li, you and I are family-"

Then, he grabbed Cui Jing's arm again: "Xiao Jing, you are also my family!" ”

As he spoke, he suddenly took Chang Suining's hand and pressed it against the back of Cui Jing's hand: "So, the three of us, oh, and Uncle Chang...... The entire Xuan Ce Mansion is a family! ”

Chang Suining: "......"

Cui Jing: "......"

Ah Dian's eyes were full of anticipation: "I'm right, right?" ”

Yuan Xiang on the side looked at the hands that were forcibly pressed together with a complicated expression.

Death never thought that the first time the Metropolitan Governor touched a woman's hand, it would be like this.

And General Ah Dian is notoriously powerful......

It's like forcibly asking—is it moving?

In this situation, I can only answer - I dare not move, I can't move.

Under the suppression of external forces and the expectation of their eyes, the two could only nod.

Cui Jing: "Hmm. ”

Chang Suining: "That's right. ”

Ah Dian laughed "hey", and then let go with satisfaction.

Chang Suining shook his wrist, which was clenched a little painfully.

Cui Jing silently took the hand behind him and looked ahead as if nothing had happened.

Ah Dian happily re-lifted the water and walked forward.

"That Ming is used to being arrogant, even if he has scruples, but it won't be too much." Cui Jing continued the topic and said, "You need to be more careful in the future. ”

Chang Suining nodded.

She had heard this countless times recently, and it could be seen that this act was indeed rampant.

"If you encounter trouble in the city, if you have time, you can go to the nearest Xuance army to help." Cui Jing was afraid that she wouldn't understand, so he explained: "There will be a Xuance army patrolling the city during the day. ”

Chang Suining subconsciously said: "But they don't recognize me, so they may not easily believe my words, right?" ”

The Xuan Ce Army is strict in governing the army, and it is not an approachable path.

Cui Jing stopped.

He removed a bronze talisman from his waist, the fish-shaped bronze talisman was delicately designed and split in two in his hand.

Cui Jing handed half of them to Chang Suining: "You hold this thing, if you are in danger, you can always find the Xuance army nearby, and they will definitely help." ”

Yuan Xiang was shocked.

Although this talisman is not a military talisman for mobilizing the Xuan Ce army, it is also the personal thing of the governor, and the army sees it as if it is the governor, why did the governor suddenly give half of it to Chang Niangzi at this time?

Isn't this the governor who has lost himself in that family?

Ay...... In the final analysis, it is all to blame the Cui family for treating the governor too coldly, so that these three words outside actually made the governor go to the head!

It can be seen from this that the governor must have longed for the warmth of his family in his heart?

Thinking of this, Yuan Xiang almost burst into tears on the spot.

What is Chang Niangzi still doing in a daze? Take it!

The governor finally opened his heart, if he was rejected, he was afraid that the door of his heart would be locked from now on!

Chang Sui Ning asked casually, but unexpectedly, Cui Jing actually gave this thing, and it was inevitable that he would be surprised for a while.

Ah Dian urged: "Little Ah Li, take it!" Don't see your own family! ”

Seeing that Cui Jing was not a fake politeness, but a real one, Chang Suining stretched out his hand and took it: "Thank you Cui Dadu." ”

Cui Jing continued to walk forward: "Thank you for not needing, it's better than nothing-"

"......" Chang Suining looked at the bronze talisman in his hand.

Xi'er almost couldn't listen to it.

Better than nothing?

The leader of the dignified Xuan Ce Army, the personal bronze talisman of the eldest grandson of the Cui family...... If this is called "chatting", then she is really gone!

Cui Jing's words were not finished: "You still have to ask for more blessings." ”

Chang Suining nodded "um": "Don't worry, Governor Cui, I'm good at this." ”

After this period of time with this body, with the understanding of the situation, the feet are the homeland, and the side is the old man, except for the father who is a little dense, which makes her a little dazed - now she has been able to take off a little guard and slowly become a little relaxed.

In the three years she was in Beidi, she almost forgot how the "self" she used to be lived and how she spoke.

Now, she seems to be slowly getting herself back.

Listening to this "unashamed" sentence, Cui Jing turned his head to look at the girl beside him.

She was looking ahead, her eyes bright.

Cui Jing returned to the temple and went to work on business, while Chang Suining took the empty bucket and went to the back mountain again to fetch water.

After going back and forth like this four times, the sun gradually rose, and the prince of Rongwang, who was sitting on the boulder by the river, couldn't help but ask: "Isn't Chang Niangzi tired?" ”

"It's the last trip." Chang Sui Ning wiped the fine sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand, and asked casually: "Isn't King Rong going back?" ”

Li Lu said with a smile: "I'm going back." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the green mountains on the other side again: "The scenery here is very good, but it's a pity that I will leave the temple tomorrow." ”

"Are the nobles going to leave the temple tomorrow?" The little novice not far away looked at Chang Suining's master and servant when he heard this, and couldn't help whispering: "It's a pity......

There's no one to do the work for them.

The older monk on the side reprimanded the junior brother in a low voice: "...... How can you be lazy? ”

Xiao Shami was stunned: "I only say it's a pity, how does the senior brother know what I pity it is?" ”

Oh! He got it!

Unless the senior brother thinks the same as him!

The little novice stared at his senior brother with the eyes of the thief, and the monk's face turned red, and he chanted Amitabha Buddha a few times.

Finally, thinking of the experience of listening to the abbot's lecture yesterday, I tried to reconcile with myself and try to accept the true heart.

This is also human nature......

After all, who doesn't like a diligent and down-to-earth donor?

Amitabha Buddha accidentally accepted it too thoroughly, and even began to look forward to the next blessing ceremony.

……

After seven days of prayer, the holy driver set off for Beijing.

From the quiet mountain temple back to the noisy court, those waves surging from dark to light.

The next morning, the disposition of the Pei clan was finally settled.

Pei Min is dead, and anyone who is implicated will be punished for the crime, and the family property will be confiscated, and those who are found not to be involved in the crime will not be implicated-

For a time, the Pei clan was either imprisoned or exiled, and even the remaining survivors, regardless of grief and sadness, hurriedly left Beijing with their families.

With the seizure and emptying of Jingshanfang, where the Pei clan lived in the past, the Pei clan that had been in Xuan He for a long time declined and dispersed.

A spring rain fell, and in the pure industry nunnery outside the capital, a woman's sharp voice sounded from time to time.

Thank you for your monthly pass and tip, the double monthly pass is almost over, how cost-effective is it to vote for one and two? Right, right? (crazy hints)
