Chapter 218: You're welcome
"Second brother, hurry up and put up all the ladders!" Under a high courtyard wall in the General's Mansion, the thirteen children of the Xu family are complete, the youngest Xu family thirteen Xu Mingyu is now walking fast with his calves, and he will become the follower of which brother he sees.
Nowadays, being greedy and lively is the favorite thing of the three youngest young masters of the Xu family, no, as soon as they heard that a few brothers were going to climb the wall and talk to the people in the Imperial History Mansion opposite, they followed in a hurry, looking up at Xu Mingye putting a long wooden ladder on the wall, and then climbed up in three or two clicks, and sat on the high wall with his legs so crossed, looking up one step closer to the blue sky, which made them envious.
"I want to go up too!" Xu Mingxian, who is three years old this year, showed a longing light in his eyes, but there are too many brothers, and it is not his turn, his seventh brother and starling brother want to go up, but the eldest brother Xu Mingchen stopped them, saying that it was not safe.
"Oh, big brother, what's not safe, I'm not a three-year-old doll, eleven brothers can't, but I'm nine years old, no problem at all!" Xu Minghao hadn't climbed the high wall for a long time, and when he saw Xu Mingye sitting on the wall with a comfortable look, he wanted to go up too.
"No, this is different from playing games in a wooden house, this wall is too high, in case you accidentally fall, my mother knows, but I will be sad and angry." Xu Mingchen rejected Xu Minghao's proposal and asked the other younger brothers not to go up again.
"What are you doing? Xu Ershao, why did you sit on the wall? At this moment, there was an inquiry from the other side of the courtyard wall, and the voice was Fang Da, the young master of the Fang family.
Xu Mingye sat on the wall, looked down at Fang Da, and saw that he was walking as usual, although he looked a lot thinner than before, he was in good spirits, and he looked more mature and stable than before.
"My mother said, I know that your family doesn't want to meet with outsiders for the time being, she is worried that you don't have a stove in the house for many days, and it is not convenient to eat and drink for a while, even if you go to buy it will take time, so let people make some delicious and delicious drinks for us to bring over, I think you have to go around the door in such a big circle, it just happens that my kitchen is close to your kitchen, so I will hand it to you from this wall, so that the food is cold!" At this time, Xu Mingchen also climbed the wall and explained to Fang Da on the other side.
"Other people's families don't see, the people of your General's Mansion, our family still has to see, this time thanks to the General and the General's wife, the lives of our family can be saved, I have offended in the past, you brothers don't mind, I am here to make amends for you first!" After experiencing the incident of the Fang family, Fang Da also began to change, faded away from the impulsive youth of a teenager, and became more polite and sensible than before.
Xu Mingchen also hurriedly returned his salute, looked at Fang Da and smiled, and said: "Fang Gongzi is too polite, we were all children in the past, and it is normal for children to fight and make trouble with each other, we will be friends in the future, and there is no need to talk so much about vulgar courtesies and politeness between friends, my brother will not come to visit today, you must cultivate well for a few days after experiencing this turmoil, what do you need, just send someone to say, these foods are specially made by my mother to the cook for everyone in the Fang family, you can quickly let people take it to your family to eat." ”
"It's not just a good idea from the general's wife, but also a kindness from your brother, then I'm welcome, is there any fried chicken I love to eat?" Fonda asked with a smile without hesitation.
"Of course, there is!" Xu Mingchen had already bent down and reached out to carry the food box in his hand, and Xu Mingye also took another food box from Jiading's hand at this time.
"That's great, that's what I've been thinking about the most during this time!" Fang Da's posture of pretending to be everyone's son was instantly broken, and he enthusiastically stretched out his hand towards the two brothers of the Xu family.
Lin Shuran watched Xu Mingchen and Xu Mingye talking to Fang Da not far away, but they just smiled and didn't let the children find out, she originally wanted to make some food and send it to the Fang family in person, but Xu Mingchen and they took the errand after hearing about it, they didn't expect these children to hand over food boxes to the Fang family directly from the wall.
Although it seemed a little out of place, Xu Mingchen and the others didn't want to disturb the Fang family who had just returned home too much, it was the kindness of the children, and Fang Da also accepted this kindness, so it was okay.
In February, the weather in the capital became warmer and warmer, and people began to become active, especially when the Criminal Department investigated the case of King Ling, and there were many fewer officers and soldiers patrolling the city, and the taverns, tea shops, and streets and alleys became noisy and lively again.
But Lin Shuran always felt unsteady, obviously she had guessed that King Ling might be the mastermind behind the case of the Fang family and the Ren family, but now that all the evidence pointed to King Ling, she felt a sense of unreality again.
It has been less than a month since King Ling was killed to find out about King Ling's embezzlement of the Mo Ren family's huge silver and framing the Fang family, and she didn't know how the Criminal Department and Xiao Chen found the key evidence, but the fact was that King Ling's case was closed.
As for the gold balls and huge silver of King Ling's greedy Mo Ren family, the closing notice given by the Criminal Department said that they were all squandered by King Ling, and some of them were given to the group of Jianghu people, and King Ling's Mansion was temporarily sealed, and the emperor had not yet issued an order on how to deal with the rest of King Ling's Mansion.
However, Lin Shuran did not hear any rumors that the Ren family was framed back then, and the Criminal Department only said that King Ling was greedy and used means when he confiscated the Ren family's property, but it did not say that the Ren family was wronged back then, and Xu Minghan's identity was still a taboo.
As the night grew darker, when Xu Junze returned to the mansion to rest, he found Lin Shuran sitting on the bed in a daze after washing, so he guessed that she was still thinking about the case between King Ling and the Ren family, so he gently scraped her nose with his fingers, hoping to divert her attention.
"You say, what will the emperor do?" Lin Shuran grabbed his restless fingers, opened her big eyes, and looked at Xu Junze intently and asked.
Even if he didn't ask carefully, Xu Junze knew the meaning of her words, although she might not be satisfied with the answer he said: "The emperor should be lenient with the rest of the palace!" ”
"Why?" King Ling was greedy for a lot of gold and silver from the Ren family, and he framed Fang Lao Yushi's family, although he was dead, but the prince was not guilty of the same crime as the common people! If this was done by someone else, maybe it would also be a sin of stealing the family and exterminating the clan.
"Because they are descendants of the Zhao family!" This is the reality, it is the privilege of being a member of the imperial family, and it is also the decision made by Emperor Zhao You after comprehensive consideration.
