Song Wu's sister-in-law looked at the door of the tea building, everything around was as quiet as water, and occasionally there were watchmen walking by, and there was a gentle gong sound.

Suddenly, a "boom" sounded in the sky, although it was dark, it could also be seen that the clouds were surging, like rolling dust.

Fifth sister-in-law Song looked at it, and couldn't help but secretly worry. She was busy clasping her hands together and silently reciting "Amitabha".

Song Mingxuan walked out of the house and said, "Sister, things are about to change." ”

"yes." Fifth sister-in-law Song was full of sorrow, looked at the sky lightly and said, "I'm afraid that it will be more difficult for them to find people." ”

Song Mingxuan said: "The third grandmother of the Mo family recites Buddha all day long, and I think there will be the blessing of the Buddha in the future. ”

"That being said, but if they don't come back, it will be uneasy in the end." Song Wu's sister-in-law's sadness is undiminished.

Song Mingxuan wanted to persuade again, but Song Wu's sister-in-law hurriedly said, "It's windy outside, you better go back inside and wait." ”

"Why don't you join us?" Song Mingxuan said.

Song Wu's sister-in-law turned around and looked at him, showing a smile of joy, shook her head, and before she could speak, she saw a lantern in the distance swaying left and right, and it was rushing towards this side like a fallen leaf in the wind.

Song Wu's sister-in-law thought it was a watchman at first, but the watchman would not be so flustered. Who would run away in the middle of the dark?

When they got closer, the two of them saw that there was a big word "Fan" written on the lantern.

The man got closer, and sure enough, it was a guy from his shop. Fifth sister-in-law Song hurriedly greeted her and asked, "What's so flustered?" ”

The man panted and said, "Fifth sister-in-law, go back to the store and take a look." Zhao Shilang of the Ministry of Officials is waiting. ”

"Zhao Shilang? Which Zhao Shilang? Song Wu's words were understood as soon as she came out, and she hurriedly said, "But Zhao Tingzhi Master Zhao? ”

"Exactly." The guy swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued: "But there are others, Li Shilang from the Ministry of Rites is also there." ”

"What?" Fifth sister-in-law Song was a little confused.

The guy said: "It was Master Zhao from the Ministry of Officials who came, but Master Li from the Ministry of Rites also came with him." Master Zhao of the Ministry of Officials was with him, and the two masters of the Ministry of Rites were waiting in the hall. ”

Song Mingxuan also greeted him and reprimanded: "What kind of Ministry of Etiquette, you can't stumble!" ”

Song Wu's sister-in-law pulled her brother and said, "I have understood eight or nine points." One of them is looking for a son, and the other is looking for a daughter. Then he said to his fellow, "I'll go back with you." ”

Song Mingxuan grabbed his sister and said, "Let's go, I'm friends with Defu, and I can still have something to say." ”

Fifth sister-in-law Song smiled and said, "Although you have an old relationship with Zhao Defu, I also know the lady of the Li family." Since people have found the store, I, the shopkeeper, have to deal with it. You still stay here, the Minglou family is big, you can't live without a man. ”

At this moment, there was another roar in the sky, and the thunder was faintly visible. But in an instant, the heavy rain fell, and the Song family sisters and brothers and the guy were busy hiding under the eaves of the Ming Building to avoid the rain.

Once the rain rained, it was like a pour, "booming" white mist steaming, and cold wind swept in.

Song Mingxuan frowned and said, "The rain is so heavy, how can my sister go back?" ”

Fifth sister-in-law Song smiled bitterly: "Then you have to go." ”

She was about to leave when a light suddenly lit up in the lobby of the tea building. The door was gently pushed open, and a young woman in a fluffy coat stepped out.

The sisters and brothers of the Song family took a closer look, and it turned out that the person who came was Yunxi, the third daughter of the Mo family.

Mo Yunxi did not apply powder, but her face was also very pretty and fair, which was better than her mother.

She carried a lantern in one hand and an umbrella in the other, and said with a smile: "Fifth sister-in-law, you can take this umbrella." ”

Fifth sister-in-law Song was also not polite, took the umbrella and said: "This is also the right time, thank you to the third girl." ”

"No thanks." Yunxi smiled reservedly: "It's hard to walk on rainy days, sister-in-law should be careful." ”

Fifth sister-in-law Song answered, and went to hold an umbrella with her buddy.

Song Mingxuan looked at his sister's distant back and was stunned. Yunxi leaned over and said, "Brother Jiaxing, it's windy outside, why don't you come in and sit down?" ”

Song Mingxuan was distracted, and said to himself: "What can I do?" What can I do......"

"What?" Yunxi leaned over his ears and listened, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Jiaxing is a demon?" ”

Song Mingxuan turned his head faintly and said to Yunxi: "Yunxi, what can I do?" ”

"You can come in and have a bowl of hot tea to warm up." As he spoke, Yunxi took Song Mingxuan's hand and walked towards the lobby.

Song Mingxuan suddenly shook off her hand and said, "No! How can I ......be like this, my cousin?"

Yunxi took a look at him, and saw that his eyes were scattered, his words were incoherent, and his words were incomprehensible, so he couldn't help but feel relieved and said, "Brother Jiaxing, don't scare me!" ”

Song Mingxuan looked at her and asked, "What do you think I can do?" ”

"You...... You ......" Yunxi thought for a while and said, "You can protect us!" ”

"Protecting you?" Song Mingxuan repeated her words.

"Yes!" Yunxi took his hand again and walked towards the lobby, and said as he walked: "You think, my eldest brother is outside, and your sister has returned to Fanlou again, how can our family not panic?" As long as Brother Jiaxing is here, we will be much more at ease. ”

As they spoke, the two of them had already entered the lobby. An oil lamp had been lit in the lobby, and Yunxi pulled him to sit down and said, "Brother Jiaxing, I'll go boil some boiling water and order tea with you." ”

When she was about to leave, Song Mingxuan suddenly grabbed her hand again. Yunxi was stunned, and then Yunxia blushed.

Although Yunxi has an open-minded personality, she is a woman after all, and it is okay for her to pull a man's hand, but it is the first time that a man has taken the initiative to hold his hand.

"What's wrong, Brother Jiaxing?" Yunxi asked.

Song Mingxuan raised his face and said, "On the day of Shangyuan, Helu asked me to meet in Changfeng Tower. She asked me, why my cousin is called Jiaxing, isn't it for the sake of fame? ”

"Huh? What did my brother say? Yunxi was also curious.

"I said, my sister and I can also make the family prosperous by doing the business together." After speaking, Song Mingxuan asked, "Yunxi, do you think I'm right?" ”

Yunxi also sat down, supported his cheek with one hand, and thought: "It's okay, my father used to hear him say that officialdom was the most unbearable. Brother Jiaxing is interested in Fan Lou, no worse than being an official. ”

Song Mingxuan smiled implicitly and said, "But now I realize that I was wrong." Fan Lou is under the control of my sister, and I can only learn some fur. Reading, I don't rain in time. Ever since I broke off my engagement with Helu, I've been thinking that a useless person like me really can't afford her. ”

His words were not polite, but heartfelt. Because of this, Yunxi is not a taste in his ears.

"Why does Brother Jiaxing need to say such a thing." Yunxi sighed: "My brother is a man, and Fan Lou will always be handed over to my brother in the future." In our Mo family, I don't think I'm a stupid thing. ”

Song Mingxuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Yunxi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief and said, "My eldest brother is a descendant, has a father's love, and has practiced good martial arts since childhood, and his riding skills are even more first-class. It's also quite prestigious in our Tokyo city. What about my second brother? Although it is said that she is a concubine, but her mother is favored, and she has been clothed and fed since she was a child, so she developed Yunxiang's sex. As for me, I can't hang on the left, and I can't stand on the right, so I want to help my mother compete for favor. But later, my father died and my house was raided, and I realized that my eldest brother loved me. Then again, big brother she...... After she fell into the water, it was like a different person, and Yun Xiang and I were much better. I admit her affection, but Yunxiang is still like that. ”

The two of them sighed at each other, and they seemed to be embarrassed.

At this time, it was the end of the fifth watch, and it was not long before the morning chicken was about to report, but at this time the Fan Lou was brightly lit, and the uncle and the mother-in-law were standing respectfully, and there were two middle-aged people in long robes, sitting on both sides of the long table with cold faces.

The heavy rain rolled down, like beads with broken threads, turning the entire entrance of the Fan Tower into a water curtain hole.

Cao's mother looked at the door, and when she was anxious, she suddenly saw the two of them coming in from outside the "water curtain hole". Everyone looked at it, it was Song Wu's sister-in-law and the guy who went to call her.

"Oh, I'm entangled in important things today, and I neglected the two masters, damn it!" She came in the door, smiling as she wrung the water out of her clothes.

Zhao Tingzhi and Li Gefei glanced at each other, but their cold faces were not alleviated in the slightest.

Cao's mother hugged her as if she was grasping a life-saving straw and said, "Fifth sister-in-law, something big has happened." ”

"What's the big deal?" Fifth sister-in-law Song listened to her as she walked.

"The son-in-law of Old Man Zhao's family and the lady of Old Master Li's family didn't return all night, I can't say, it has something to do with our Fan Lou."

Fifth sister-in-law Song smiled, put aside Mother Cao, greeted the general, bent her knees first, and said, "The clumsy woman Song has given the two masters a gift." It's a dark day, and it's cold, why didn't you ask Cao's mother to fix a fish to eat? ”

Zhao Tingzhi waved his hand and said, "Shopkeeper, let's gossip." In this hour of frost and tile, we did not come to eat your fish. The dog of our house did not return all night, went to Taixue to inquire, and did not see a shadow, and later learned that it was called to the good daughter of Master Li, the chicken was about to crow, and he did not come back, so he came to Fan Lou to ask. ”

Li Gefei immediately blushed, took over the conversation and said: "Fifth sister-in-law Song, little girl, you know, although people are willful, they are also polite, how can they ask a man out for no reason?" This is defamation! ”

Zhao Tingzhi's face changed, he brushed his sleeves and got up, and said, "What?" Did Li Shilang say that he was trapping you? ”

Li Gefei sneered: "I don't dare to frame it, but the little girl also didn't return all night, and the old man's heart hangs in his throat, how can he have the leisure to argue with others?" ”

"Humph!" Zhao Tingyi shook the sleeves of his robe and said to Song Wu's sister-in-law: "Shopkeeper, I heard that the little lady of the Li family and the shopkeeper are good friends. Therefore, the two of us met to ask for advice, if we found the lady of the Li family, we must have found the dog. ”

"Master Zhao, the clumsy woman ......" Song Fifth Sister-in-law didn't say anything, but Li Gefei hurriedly said: "Yes, if Song Fifth Sister-in-law knows, say it quickly, first, to find the two of them is right, and secondly, to return the innocence of the little girl, so as not to make the villain chew the root of her tongue!" ”

Zhao Tingyi slapped the table and shouted: "Who do you say is the villain!" ”

Li Gefei also glared angrily and said: "Back then, Wang Banshan was in turmoil, making the people miserable and the world tired, which of his lackeys was not a villain!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked, especially Zhao Tingzhi, who was even more angry.

Wang Banshan refers to Wang Anshi. Although his changes are anticlimactic, their impact is far-reaching. Later, the people who became officials could only fight in teams, either the law changers or the old guards.

This Zhao Tingzhi is a law-changer, while Li Gefei is an old-fashioned faction. The two of them ignore each other when they work together in the DPRK on weekdays, and this time they would not have come together if it weren't for their children's affairs.

However, Li Gefei's words were extremely serious, and how did Zhao Tingzhi get off the stage in full view of everyone?

I only heard Zhao Tingzhi say angrily: "Li Shilang, you have no way to teach your son, conniving at your daughter to hook up with foreign men, running around at night, and destroying my etiquette." Who in the world would say that you are a gentleman! ”

Li Gefei also changed color, got up and shouted: "Who do you say has no way to teach the son!" Who runs promiscuous at night! Red mouth and white teeth, you say one is one, and two is two? Now the whereabouts of the two are unknown, I don't know if it wasn't your son who robbed my daughter! ”

Zhao Tingzhi laughed and said, "It's ridiculous! The dog has a big exam this year, and he will be a green man! Don't have a good future, why be a robber! Hum! On the contrary, your daughter gambles all day and drinks heavily, and fills in some obscene lyrics and songs to hook up with men, who in Tokyo doesn't know? ”

Li Gefei was so angry that his face was flushed, but he couldn't argue for a while, so he had to say: "I...... I...... I'm fighting with you! ”

As he spoke, he was about to rush up and pull Zhao Tingzhi, but fortunately, a group of men under Fan Lou hugged him one after another and barely pulled him back.

Zhao Tingzhi sneered: "If there is a father, there must be a daughter, and the ministers of the six departments of the hall are rude with people in the tile restaurant, which is really a loss of my doctor's demeanor!" ”

"Zhao Tingzhi! You despicable villain, it is an unprecedented shame for my scholar to let you be in the court! Although Li Gefei struggled in the crowd, he could not be stopped from speaking and swearing.

The things in front of her became more and more outrageous, and Song Wu's sister-in-law was also in a hurry, hurriedly grabbed a porcelain basin, stood on the table, and knocked the porcelain basin loud and loud, and instantly suppressed everyone's voices.

"Two masters, can you listen to me?" Fifth sister-in-law Song said.

Only then did the two restrain their anger, and although they did not answer, they sorted out their clothes, which meant that they would not quarrel again for the time being.

Fifth sister-in-law Song sighed and said, "Actually, this matter is very simple, it is neither a night affair nor a robbery. They are all good friends of a girl, and that girl is in trouble right now, and they are affectionate and righteous, and they all go to help. ”

The two glanced at each other, and Zhao Tingzhi asked urgently, "Which girl is it?" ”

"I know!" Li Gefei looked at Song Wu's sister-in-law and asked, "But Mo Yunxiao, the daughter of the Mo family?" ”

Fifth sister-in-law Song nodded.

Zhao Tingzhi frowned and thought for a while, and muttered, "Mo Yunxiao? It's a familiar name, but I don't remember where I've heard it? ”

Fifth sister-in-law Song smiled and said, "Mo Yunxiao, you may not know it, but the female Yan Luo must have heard of it." ”
