"Master, Huang Xin wants to see you."

Zhu Gaoxu grabbed the teapot and poured it directly, the tea should have been cold, but the teapot was exposed to the place where the stone table was illuminated by the sun, and it was not completely cold, it was in a state of warm swallowing, just like Huang Xin who had experienced this debate, and there was still the strength in his heart that could support him to continue to resist.

It was a midsummer afternoon at this time, Jiang Xinghuo, who was sleeping a little groggy in the shade of the tree, was not very sober, he closed his eyes, and took a few breaths of the refreshing tea fragrance in the air before slowly opening his eyes and looking at Zhu Gaoxu.

"What do you guess he's going to do?"

Zhu Gaoxu scratched his head and guessed: "Maybe it's to admit defeat to Master?" After all, I made a bet before. ”

"Not necessarily, Huang Xin is not a person who admits defeat easily."

Jiang Xinghuo "rustled" the cup on the table and said, "And strictly speaking, they haven't lost yet." ”

"Why?"

Zhu Gaoxu asked in surprise: "The holy decree of the imperial court to collect dragon bone medicinal materials engraved with ancient characters from the fourteen political envoys has reached the cabinet, as long as the "Ming Pao" continues to decipher the meaning of the oracle bone inscription, their debate has already lost at all." ”

"That's the truth, but they still have one last fight, and Huang Xin will not admit defeat until this last fight fails."

Jiang Xinghuo first put the booklet in hand, and then said: "On the day of Taizu's death, they will cry for the tomb." ”

"Emperor Taizu Gao, open your eyes and take a look, your ancestor's method is about to be changed."

Zhu Gaoxu sneered:

"My father is timid, I'm afraid of the emperor's grandfather, I'm not afraid, I was hung up and beaten by the emperor's grandfather when I was a child, at that time, Zhu Yunwen's little rabbit cub was laughing next to me, I wanted to kill him for a long time, even if the emperor's grandfather really got up from the coffin of filial piety, I dared to push him back with my own hands, and buried it with a spade of soil."

Well, it's really a lot of filial piety.

However, Zhu Di is timid, and Zhu Gaochu can say it, but how to say it, compared with the bold Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Di, who still has a trace of awe for the old Zhu, is indeed so timid.

After all, Zhu Gaoxu still realized the seriousness of this matter.

"But if this kind of thing really comes out, my father will be embarrassed, or just send troops to control the scene and prevent them from talking."

"That's not the case."

Jiang Xinghuo shook his head: "You don't let people talk, this time you know in advance that you can do it, but what about next time?" Next time, you're going to be beaten cold, right? It's better to solve it at once, just when His Majesty Taizu took the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to worship the filial piety tomb on the day of Taizu's death, everyone was complete. In order to change Shilin's thinking, and this matter must change the thinking of the officials, one after the other, and complement each other, so that the change of the law can be completely reversed in public opinion. ”

Zhu Gaoxu understood what Jiang Xinghuo meant.

"So, does Master want to see Huang Xin?"

"Of course I want to see you, since they are all here, won't I let him think that I have concerns?" Jiang Xinghuo raised his face and said with a smile.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "Master, you said that you want to collect dragon bones, do you want the court to give money?" Otherwise, will it be a burden to the people? ”

Jiang Xinghuo was slightly stunned before explaining.

"Giving money will cause a burden, and not giving money will not."

"The keel engraved with ancient characters can basically be seen at a glance, if the court gives money, the local officials in order to collect more money from it, it is easy to increase the demand for the people to provide, and people with a lively mind will also try to forge. But if you don't give money, this kind of thing is different from the levy of Huashi Gang or what kind of snake hunting and cockfighting, the people don't have it, and the local government will not be too persecuted just to complete the tasks of the imperial court. ”

"Will there be door-to-door collection, and the people and officials who collect it and don't give money according to the regulations, but don't pay it, will fine the money privately?" Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and asked again.

"Chen Ying's supervision of the imperial history is not from the white faction, isn't this a crime against the wind to send political achievements?"

"Well, the disciple got it." Zhu Gaoxu said again, "Li Zhigang just asked me about him, do you want to tell him along the way?" ”

"Tell him to stay in peace in the edict prison, and wait for the triage of the three law divisions, if the war on Annan's side goes well, he will soon be able to take up the post of the first political envoy of Jiaozhibu."

"Help me call Huang Xin." Jiang Xinghuo put down the teacup.

Not long after, Huang Xin was brought over, and Zhu Gaoxu stood like an iron tower and stood guard at the gate of the courtyard.

In the courtyard, the two of them walked casually, Jiang Xinghuo stretched out his hand, and a hot wind blew on his sleeves and shoulders, with a hint of warmth.

"It's really a hot season......" Walking in front, Jiang Xinghuo narrowed his eyes and raised his head slightly, as if he had reveled in this rare comfort.

"yes." Huang Xin sighed, also breathing the air deeply, but instead of enjoying being out of the cage for a short time as he imagined, he felt a little suffocated.

Jiang Xinghuo glanced back at him and said with a smile: "Huang Vice Xian, do you also like your current life?" ”

Huang Xin was stunned for a moment, what did this special mother say? What normal person likes to live in prison?

Wait a minute

Huang Xin recalled his only two cellmates, and it seemed that they both liked them a lot.

"Then none of them are normal people, only I am normal." Huang Xin shook his head, throwing strange thoughts out of his mind.

Huang Xin immediately: "I don't like it, there is always an inexplicable instability." ”

"Yes." Jiang Xinghuo seemed thoughtful, and after a while, he smiled faintly, "Then you better do something more practical first, if people are idle and have nothing to do, it is easy to be unsure, and besides, how can anyone in this world live a happy life?" ”

He turned his head and walked on, pointing to the freshly painted wall as he went:

"Before this wall was newly repaired, it was built by Emperor Taizu Gao at that time, and you can eavesdrop on the conversations of the prisoners in the edict prison, you also came from that time, I heard that Song Lian and Song Ne were going to be eavesdropped when they talked at home, and their every move would even be painted, do you think it was better then, or now?"

After saying this, Huang Xin was silent for a long time, because he had indeed experienced all this firsthand.

Moreover, Huang Xin knew that Mao Dafang and others would launch a crying tomb on the day of death, but only a very small number of officials were involved in this matter, and more officials, such as Xie Jin, were responsible for beating the side drum, and he didn't know if Jiang Xinghuo knew it.

If Jiang Xinghuo is clear, then the other party's words now obviously mean something, and he is warning himself about something.

"You won the bet before, I didn't expect you to win so neatly and beautifully."

Huang Xin raised his eyelids and looked at Jiang Xinghuo, and he chose to divert the topic.

When they met before, Jiang Xinghuo said wildly: "Zhu Xi can claim that he 'won' because his opponent is not me."

And now it seems that Huang Xin was wrong, and Jiang Xinghuo did not have no purpose.

Although Jiang Xinghuo did not appear in person in the debate ring, people like Huang Xin can certainly see that all this is under Jiang Xinghuo's planning, otherwise it will not be this kind of almost perfect result.

Huang Xin really didn't expect that Jiang Xinghuo, a traitorous and evil person, would have such profound academic attainments, and he listened to Jiang Xinghuo's debate with Kong Xilu, in fact, since then, Huang Xin has already had a bad premonition.

But when Cao Duan personally told Kong Xilu what happened, Huang Xin was a little relieved.

Relying on public opinion alone really can't stop him.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at him: "It's not about this today, let's say, you want to see me, what is the matter?" I'm curious to know what kind of faith has sustained you to this day, or do you think that by crying at the tomb on the day of Taizu's death, you can stop the change and push me into the abyss of no return? ”

He was so frank, but it made Huang Xin pretend to be stupid anymore.

"Sure enough, you know."

Huang Xin snorted lightly, and said with a gloomy face: "I have long known that I can't hide the rumors like this. ”

"What do you want to say?" Jiang Xinghuo frowned and asked, his tone was very unhappy.

He thought that Huang Xin would speak bluntly when he asked to see him, but now, the other party has been going around the corner.

"I want to tell you, even if you win the debate, you still won't win the next fight."

Huang Xin stared at him and said slowly, "Not only you, but the entire temple will be in chaos because of you. ”

Just when Jiang Xinghuo frowned and was about to say something, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly walked over, just now he received the news that Jinyi Wei was coming.

"Violent Zhao is dead, and he was killed by Cao Guogong himself."

Zhu Gaoxu didn't hide it from Huang Xin, Huang Xin's body shook when he heard the news, but he quickly stabilized, his gaze was still firm, and he seemed to be sure that Jiang Xinghuo would not be able to win.

"Maybe you do have some tricks, but at the end of the day, you're trying to mess with my mind and make me guess on my own. But the most hated thing in my life is the Riddler, especially the Riddler who has nothing to do and is idle every day. ”

"From today onwards, you will be in charge of some of the deciphering of the oracle bone inscriptions, and someone will send rubbings every day."

"Also, you have to live well, don't be like Jingqing and Mei Yin, you have to see with your own eyes how I change the world."

——————

The aftermath of the debate competition is not only a conversation after tea and dinner in Nanjing, but also has a profound impact on the situation in Daming.

With the release of the new column "Into the Oracle Bone Inscription" in Ming Pao, more and more people realized that the people of ancient times had the same joys, sorrows, and sorrows as them, but the society at that time was more cruel than now, people lacked food and clothing materials all year round, and slave owners often cut off their hands and feet.

And inherited from Lu Jiuyuan's "New Mind", this new version of the concept that everyone can be sanctified, is also impacting Shilin.

As one of the three mainstream theories of the Southern Song Dynasty, science, mind, and practice, although the study of mind has declined, it has not completely disappeared, and there are still a considerable number of schools that maintain the inheritance of mind, which is also the reason why in Jiang Xinghuo's previous life, Wang Yangming's era of mind can rise rapidly.

If it is a completely new knowledge, it is absolutely impossible to almost replace science as the official doctrine of the Ming Dynasty in just a few decades, of course, these assumptions are impossible to talk about with Zhang Juzheng coming to power and presiding over the Wanli New Deal for ten years and vigorously cracking down on lectures.

Therefore, as soon as the "New Mind Studies" came out, it immediately won the recognition of the schools that still maintained the Taoism of the mind in the academic circles, and attracted many scholars who wavered in their positions.

And the "Theory of Three Righteousness" also puts the interests of the people in the world in the same position as the general righteousness, some people may not recognize this theory, but no one does not admit that this theory has perfectly explained the question of "whether the court wants to make profits".

In this way, the successors of the Yongjia and Yongkang schools also began to consciously move closer to Jiang Xinghuo, the person who carried the banner of practical learning in this era.

Vaguely, the academic circles of the Ming Dynasty once again formed a three-legged trend, as if returning to the era of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Of course, although the dispute over public opinion has come to an end, the real confrontation has only just begun.

For the temple, the main event is in the back.

Needless to say, the first year of Yongle awarded the medal and rank, is a general characterization of their past merits and status, the medal is not controversial, participated in a certain battle, and the rank is very important, whether it is the Yanshan system within the Yan army or the Ulzhou system, the Daning system, the Hebei system, or the various factions of the Southern Army, they are desperately trying to pull relations with the various national mansions, in order to win a good position, if it were not for Yao Guangxiao's closed door, the threshold of the Rongguo Mansion would be trampled on.

The focus of the ministers is on the death day of Taizu, it is said that the second batch of civil official adjustments in the first year of Yongle is about to come down, and well-informed people know that Taizu's death day is equivalent to announcing to the world, Emperor Yongle wants to get rid of the old and cloth the new, and even if the affairs of the Hongwu Dynasty are completely over, the new policy of Yongle will officially enter a new stage, and there will be many heavy policies that were unimaginable in the past promulgated.

Although it is said that the bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish, but before the storm, it is always quiet.

When the outside world was stirred up by a piece of "Ming Pao", and everyone was paying attention to the two major events that the civil officials and military ministers were concerned about after Taizu's death, Jiang Xinghuo, who provoked this wave, was writing at home at this time.

There's no way, as a contributing writer, I still have to take the time to update every few days, otherwise what do people read in the "Tianya Script" column?

Jiang Xinghuo glanced through the open window, and Xiao Qian, who had just returned from school in the main hall in the distance, looked a little sullen today.

"Got it~Got it~"

Although Yao Guangxiao is still vulgar, he can't change the habits he has developed for decades, and he still insists on sitting under the Bodhi tree every day to meditate.

The sunlight was just right, and through the shade of the Bodhi tree, it fell on Yao Guangxiao's white eyebrows.

Thanking guests behind closed doors made Yao Guangxiao less troubled by other princes, and because he refused without discrimination, everyone didn't run here.

Unlike Zhu Neng, Qiu Fu, Li Jinglong, Xu Huizu and others, it is simply like a city, especially Li Jinglong, who successfully completed the task of visiting Japan, and made great contributions in the violent Zhao plot against the case, which was affirmed by Zhu Di and truly returned to the core power layer, rather than the previous wooden stake of the first hundred officials.

Xiao Qian sighed, squatted in front of Yao Guangxiao, and earnestly asked, "Master, where is compassion? ”

Yao Guangxiao raised his right hand, pointed out the door, and closed his eyes without saying a word.

Xiao Qian frowned and thought for a while, and asked:

"What does the master mean is that all living beings in the world, whether they are dignitaries, peddlers and pawns, or flowers, birds, insects and fish, every grass and tree, is there compassion everywhere?"

Jiang Xuan, who passed by with a kitten that he didn't know where to pick up in one hand, raised his arm with a vegetable basket in the other hand and wiped the sweat from his cheeks, mercilessly piercing the illusion.

"The old monk means to let you not bother him."

“.”

It is true that the old monk only planned to kill people and set fires in his life, and never cultivated compassion and cause and effect.

Xiao Qian touched the tip of his nose and stood up, followed Jiang Xuan to the kitchen to help.

"The gentleman is far away from the kitchen, little gentleman, let's hold this raccoon slave."

"Where did this kitten come from?"

Xiao Qian reached out to catch the cat handed by Jiang Xuan and teased curiously for a while.

"The cat of the Xu family next door was born not long ago, and it was brought back." Jiang Xuan replied casually.

"And how do you put it in the kitchen?"

"Or else? Put the old monk in the yard and climb on his bald head? Jiang Xuan asked rhetorically.

Xiao Qian was dumbfounded.

Jiang Xuan glanced at Xiao Qian, who was speechless, and the fluffy kitten in his arms, and then glimpsed the vegetable basket next to him filled with various vegetables, eggs, meat and other ingredients, and was instantly filled with a sense of accomplishment.

Readers are just like this, isn't it the same as seeing a cat with a soft heart, and they have to eat and drink well every day to be comfortable?

Looking at the sullen Xiao Qian, Jiang Xuan asked casually while washing vegetables, "How are you studying lately?" I heard that you have now become famous in the main hall. What's the name of cousin? Oh yes, Xueba, I also took the first place in the exam! ”

"It's okay." Xiao Qian stuffed the cat back on the stove on the right side of the board beside Jiang Xuan, lowered his head and remained silent.

The kitten looked curiously at the unlit water in the stove, first sniffed it, and then tried to stretch out its paws to touch it, as soon as it touched the water, the water rippled, and then "slipped away" and suddenly rushed back to Yu Qian's shoulder.

"What's wrong?"

"Nope"

Jiang Xuan stared at him suspiciously for a long time, and when she saw that he was still wilting, she suddenly blessed her heart, smiled and leaned into Xiao Qian's ear, and asked quietly:

"Something? Whose little girl do you fall in love with? ”

"No, that's not the case."

"Who are you fooling, my sister is from here, do you think my sister is blind with these tricks?"

Jiang Xuan snorted twice: "Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the River Island, my fair lady, the little gentleman is good." ”

The more Jiang Xuan spoke, the more excited she became, and she couldn't wait to solve the case immediately and find out whose little girl it was.

"Let's study your own marriage first."

At this moment, Jiang Xinghuo finished writing a chapter of "Journey to the West", pushed open the wooden door of the kitchen and walked in, and the abrupt sound frightened the egg in her hand almost crushed.

The eldest brother is like a father, Jiang Xuan naturally didn't dare to talk back, and returned this sentence as it was.

Jiang Xuan was angry, glared at her cousin fiercely, turned around and ran out of the kitchen, and went to the vegetable field to pick leeks.

The vegetable plot at home is made of the latest version of chemical fertilizer from Zhang Tianshi and Yuan Zhenren, and the growth is extremely gratifying.

"Master."

Xiao Qian bowed his head.

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Xinghuo was a little surprised, Yu Qian didn't have any sense of being under the fence, and it wasn't Jiang Xuan who fell in love with who's little girl, who eats, drinks and goes to school every day, there is no external pressure, and he has not reached puberty, so what troubles can the child have?

"Which of the nobles' children was beaten up in the main hall?"

"No, my classmates are very friendly."

When there is only one commoner child in the aristocratic school, and this child still lives in the house of the national teacher and the prince of Rongguo, it is normal to be friendly.

Jiang Xinghuo is very concerned about Xiao Qian's mental health problems, after all, if many things are not handled well when he was a child, it will affect his entire life.

He squatted down and looked at Yu Qian levelly.

"Why are you so twisted today? Say whatever you want. ”

Xiao Qian was a little frustrated: "Last time, Master talked about choosing the left or the right, I thought about it for the past few days, and I never could sacrifice myself to save others, but I used to feel that the meaning of my life was to become a big hero like Wen Tianxiang." Now that I can't do it, I feel like I'm a little bit. I don't know what the meaning of life is. ”

"Huh?"

Jiang Xinghuo was stunned, but he didn't expect Xiao Qian's troubles to be this.

Xiao Qian blinked, and looked up at Jiang Xinghuo in some confusion, as if he didn't understand his words.

"It's not that you have to give up something, such as choosing left or right, but there are many choices in life, and they are not limited to 'left' or 'right'."

Jiang Xinghuo paused, and then continued:

"For example, choose what you like, chase your dreams, if you like to draw, try to practice your painting skills; If you like to cook, practice diligently, and if you want to be famous, you should be brave and strive for it. People don't have to stick to the rules and regulations of the world when they live, because those rules and regulations sometimes seem important to you, but in fact, they are broken when they are beaten, and they don't mean anything. ”

Listening to Master's consolation, Yu Qian raised his head in a trance.

"I see."

Xiao Qian showed a bright smile, like a warm morning sun in early summer, illuminating the softest place in Jiang Xinghuo's heart.

Jiang Xinghuo bent down slightly, rubbed his head, and said softly in a warm voice.

"Boy, I know you are not willing to be ordinary, but you are still young now, there are too many things to learn, and when you reach an age where you can decide the fate of yourself and the people around you, it is not too late to make a decision."

Yu Qian's eyes flickered, pursed his lips, and did not speak.

Jiang Xuan walked in with the cut leeks: "What are you two talking about?" ”

"Nothing."

Jiang Xinghuo said lightly and pulled Xiao Qian out of the kitchen.

"You still don't get it."

"He's not your average kid, you can't fool him."

Yuan Heng, who was dressed in sackcloth, was holding a compass and carefully measuring the feng shui pattern in the courtyard, he didn't hear the previous conversation between Jiang Xinghuo and Yu Qian, but with his life experience, he saw the undisguised frustration on Yu Qian's face, so he said casually.

"But children really can't think too much, early wisdom and blessing, you have a few classmates in the big main hall, like villains, don't look like longevity."

Listening to Yuan Heng's meaningful words, Jiang Xinghuo was slightly stunned, was he talking about Zhu Zhanji?

Zhu Zhanji can indeed see that he is precocious, and he does not live long.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji is a good boy, but Baozong is really not a thing, and the historical line, if Baozong is moved and Baozong is not born, it means that the historical line predicted by Jiang Xinghuo about the emperor in the future will be invalid.

And this also means that whether it is the eldest prince or the second prince, whoever becomes the emperor, the historical line of the descendants is unpredictable, and there is no question of whose descendants are good and whose descendants are bad.

This is also the reason why Jiang Xinghuo has no opinion on Zhu Di's decision.

Since the future line of history is unpredictable, it is up to whoever goes.

"But I really don't understand."

Xiao Qian became more and more frustrated.

"What do you understand?"

"The meaning of life."

Yuan Heng laughed and just chanted a poem by Su Dongpo: "The smoke and rain of Lushan and the tide of Zhejiang have not been hated in a thousand ways." There is nothing else to do, Lushan smoke and rain Zhejiang tide. ”

Xiao Qian seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but Jiang Xinghuo simply told him.

"Yuan Zhenren is not right, experientialism, or the view that 'the meaning of life lies in experience' is wrong, and the meaning of life does not lie in this."

"So what's right?" Xiao Qian was completely stunned.

Jiang Xinghuo looked at Xiao Qian: "Do you really want to know?" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Qian nodded very hard, his eyes full of hope.

Jiang Xinghuo thought for a while, and then said: "That's it, when it's time to eat, you go and ask the others first, what is the meaning of their lives, and then I'll tell you my answer." ”

Just when several people were standing in the courtyard where they first entered, there was a knock on the knocker of the knocker from the side door used to leave.

Jiang Xinghuo opened the door, and it was the two little girls from the Xu family next door.

Xian'er and Rong'er were snotty, and the other was holding a small windmill, looking at him excitedly.

"Hello Mr. Jiang!"

"What are you?"

"We gave Aunt Xuan a cat, and she said she wanted to invite us to dinner!" Rong'er replied.

"Oh, come in, then."

Obviously, the two little girls didn't like the food in the Wei Mansion and didn't like the oppressive atmosphere there, so they ran here every once in a while.

"Where's your sister-in-law?" Jiang Xuan asked through the kitchen window.

"My sister-in-law was painting just now, and now she is receiving guests."

Wei Guogong and Dingguo Gong have not separated for the time being, so there are always many guests visiting recently.

Finally no one cared about them playing with the little windmill here, Xian'er ran around the Bodhi tree with the little windmill "hehe", and finally opened the fierce triangular eyes of the old monk who was meditating.

"Grandpa Yao, you're awake."

Xian'er smiled and said to Yao Guangxiao: "Go to sleep, it's not time to eat yet." ”

Yao Guangxiao had no interest in dealing with children, and silently got up and came to the dining room.

He saw Xiao Qian in front of Zhang Fatzi and asked curiously, "Zhang Zhenren, what is the meaning of your life?" ”

Zhang Yuchu rubbed his fingers and replied solemnly.

"——To revive the glory of the Daomen, it is incumbent upon our generation!"

Seeing Yao Guangxiao walk in, Xiao Qian asked him the same question again.

Yao Guangxiao spit out two words: "Slay the dragon." ”

After speaking, Shi Shiran sat on the chair and waited for dinner.

Xian'er and Rong'er's life meaning is currently playing, and they can't understand Yu Qian's pain for the time being.

Jiang Xuan is busy every day, cooking after studying, feeling that she has a much more fulfilling life than in the countryside, and has no time to think about the meaning of life.

Yu Qian didn't get the answer he wanted, until Xu Miaojin, who came to pick up Xian'er and Rong'er home for dinner, inadvertently gave him a soul crit.

"So it won't be because . Too idle? You can learn from them. ”

Rong'er agreed: "That's right! We don't want that. ”

Xian'er just hugged Xu Miaojin's arm and coquettishly: "I don't want to go home for dinner." ”

"You're not right." Jiang Xinghuo scooped up a chilled watermelon from the well in the front yard and retorted for Yu Qian.

"Children are at this time the age to play, what's the use of thinking about the meaning of life every day?"

Xu Miaojin walked out with a child in one hand and looked back.

"You can't miss it before you know you regret it, Mr. Jiang?"

Xian'er continued to shake her arm and said, "Sister-in-law, you should go to Jiangnan with that Japanese woman, and take us with you when the time comes." ”

Rong'er whispered: "My sister-in-law is not going, my aunt said it that day." ”

Hearing that Empress Xu seemed to have found Xu Miaojin, Jiang Xinghuo was stunned and patted the chilled watermelon in his hand: "Let the child eat a melon and then leave." ”

Xian'er and Rong'er were stunned by Mr. Jiang's sudden warmth, and they didn't ease up for a while.

"Okay."

Entertain a few people to sit down, Jiang Xinghuo personally went to cut melons, and the little reporter Yu Qian also interviewed Xu Miaojin.

"When I was as old as you, I wanted to be a good painter, and I thought it was very interesting and meaningful to be able to paint every day, but when I grew up, I didn't know what to do meaningfully, and my family thought that I should marry a good husband, and it was best to get something for the Xu family, maybe this is my greatest significance." Xu Miaojin stated blandly.

"Do you think so too?"

"At first it was, then it wasn't."

"Since when?" Xiao Qian has a very inquisitive spirit.

"It was also here, when Rong'er asked me what I wanted to do in the future."

Jiang Xinghuo's melon was quickly cut, he brought it up, rolled up his sleeves, and several people ate it in silence.

The atmosphere was a little dull, and Xian'er never asked the question of "will watermelon grow in your stomach if you swallow watermelon seeds".

"Where to put the melon peel and seeds, I'll clean it up later."

Xu Miaojin took the two little girls to wash their hands carefully, and then took one in one hand and prepared to go home for dinner.

"I'll send you out."

"No need, Mr. Jiang." Xu Miaojin politely refused, "A wall apart." ”

"Didn't you go to Jiangnan to have a look?"

"I'm not going."

Jiang Xinghuo stood under the vine and opened his mouth, but he never said anything.

Separated by a wall, if the next door is not the Xu Mansion of the Duke of Shuangguo, and it is not the "Xu" of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, maybe many things will be different.

He was afraid that he would have a soft underbelly.

Xu Miaojin recalled what her sister had said to her not long ago, and looked at Jiang Xinghuo's eyes gently.

"Mr. Jiang, I can't exhaust my life, and I can change your possibility."
