Li Shao's carriage entered the alley.

Because the Dingbei Hou Mansion was besieged, the neighbors on the left and right were closed, and the entire alley looked solemn.

The porter came to answer the door, and when he saw Li Shao getting down from the carriage, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"How did Your Highness get here?"

"Come if you want to, is my grandfather in the house?" Li Shao responded casually, but his eyes involuntarily glanced to the side of the Dingbei Hou Mansion.

The facts of the case are unknown, and the orders from above are also "treat kindly", and the garrisons are relatively relaxed, so as not to face the enemy.

Sharp-eyed saw Li Shao, and hurriedly saluted from afar.

The porter also glanced at Li Shao's line of sight, and replied, "The old uncle and the uncle are not here, and the old lady is in the inner courtyard." ”

Li Shao was originally on a whim, and his grandfather and uncle were not in the house, so he didn't care much.

After entering the door, he asked again, "What has happened next door in the past two days?" ”

The porter sneered: "Yesterday, the garrison yamen came to search, and the Dingbei Hou Mansion was very cooperative, and the small one thought that it was probably the agenda, and how did he know that he really searched for something fatal."

The Ji family insisted that they 'didn't know' and 'were framed', and Commander Wan returned to the palace without much embarrassment.

After that, the house was besieged, but it was not noisy inside and out, and it was very restrained. ”

can be restrained, after all, it is such a big thing to weigh on the head.

The neighbors were anxious in their eyes, not to mention the Dingbei Hou Mansion's own people?

When the porter said this, he didn't keep his mouth shut, and sighed: "The Marquis of Dingbei still took his children and grandchildren to fight the enemy in Yumen, but there was such an accident in the capital, and the person who framed him was hateful!" ”

Li Shao raised his eyes and looked at him: "How can you conclude that it is framed?" ”

The porter was stunned.

Knowing that he was speechless, he really couldn't figure out the temper of this highness, so he had to hang his head and stop talking.

Li Shao didn't bother to care about the length of his words with the porter, and strode towards the inner courtyard.

Walking outside the old lady's courtyard, Xia Qingluo, who got the news, had already greeted him.

Xia Qing saluted slightly and called "Your Highness".

Li Shao bowed his head slightly to show his salute in return.

In the house, the old lady also got up and walked to the door, and asked Li Shao with a kind smile: "Your Highness should have sent someone over earlier, and I will also ask the kitchen to prepare more dishes for your favorite food." ”

"It's here when I think about it," Li Shao stepped forward to help him, "Grandmother knows what I like to eat?" ”

"How can you not know?" The old lady smiled and said a few dishes.

Li Shao raised his eyebrows.

Almost all of them were what he loved to eat when he was a child, but he has eaten less in the past two years.

But it can't be blamed that the old lady doesn't remember, he came once a month when he was young, and as he grew older, he came less and less.

In recent years, he has shown his face and left every New Year's holiday, greetings, and did not sit down to eat.

Who is to blame for this?

Li Shao thought about it, but he still had to blame his maternal grandfather and uncle who inherited the title.

doesn't rely on the identity of the uncle of the country to walk outside, and he can't think of anything to fight for him Li Shao.

If they had done their best to their grandsons like Liu and Gu Heng, he Li Shao would not be a waste prince today.

Li Shao took a deep breath.

He's going to have a good talk with the two of them.

It doesn't make sense that other people's grandfather's family is charging into battle and racking their brains, and his grandfather's family retreats.

Especially the eldest uncle, this morning, Bachelor Liu's set of sets, the uncle saw it in his eyes, but it turned out that he didn't learn, and there was no difference between not seeing and not seeing.

After taking two more steps inside, Li Shao noticed that there was still a person standing by the floor cover.

That was Xia Qingzhi.

Xia Qingluo walked five at home, and Xia Qing knew three.

"I'll take a look at the situation next door," Li Shao said as he walked in with the old lady, "I'll come and see you too." ”

"His Royal Highness Lao is worried." The old lady responded, but never mentioned the next door.

Xia Qingzhi was not as restrained as the old lady, and asked directly: "Your Highness, how does the Holy Lord view the matter of Dingbei Hou?" ”

"Qingzhi!" The old lady glanced at him with disgust, and said to Li Shao, "Your Highness is rare to come over, don't talk about the court." ”

Xia Qingzhi turned his head depressedly.

Seeing that Xia Qingluo was silent, he said again: "You and Fuguo Gong are as familiar as brothers in a pair of pants, you don't care?" ”

Xia Qing glanced at the old lady who didn't approve of it, then looked at Li Shao, and knew with Xia Qing: "The one who was investigated was the Dingbei Hou Mansion, not the Fuguo Mansion." ”

Li Shao laughed heartily.

Yes.

He had forgotten that there was still this stubble.

Obviously, they are cousins of the same age, but Xia Qingluo doesn't know why he doesn't have any friendship with him, but he is very familiar with Xu Jian.

In terms of not taking the right path, Xia Qingluo is actually not far behind.

His mind was not on studying at all, and he loved to watch the excitement of various houses all day long, and his father often called him to the imperial study, just to listen to him have fun with his stories.

Xia Qingluo knew a lot about the news of the short family in the east and west of the capital.

is such a person who loves to watch dramas, but at this moment he doesn't want to mention more Dingbeihou Mansion?

Unusual!

Xia Qingluo didn't want to say it, but Li Shao wanted to chase and ask.

"If the father and emperor don't trust the Marquis of Dingbei at all, he won't be politely besieging the mansion today," Li Shao said, "It's just that I don't dare to blindly believe it, after all, Li Du is involved." I also want to figure out the situation as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very worrying whether it is the capital or Yumen. ”

The old lady laughed: "That's the reason, the specific internal situation is investigated by the officials in charge......

I wanted to bring the topic back, but Li Shao was not a half-one.

He said to Xia Qing: "How can it not be about Xu Jian's business?" Xu Jian is under the command of the Marquis of Dingbei, if the Marquis of Dingbei fornicates with Li Du and asks Xu Jian to do dangerous things, how can it happen? ”

"How could His Highness think that?" Xia Qingluo had no choice but to throw the words back.

"Xu Jian is your best friend, and it is also the help that my father gave me, I hope he will go well." Li Shao nodded slightly when he said this.

Speaking of stance and intimacy, Li Shao admits that he is telling the truth.

Xu Jian's accident did him no good, on the other hand, Xu Jian's return alive was his help.

He really cared about Xu Jian's situation, and he spoke more and more straightforwardly: "Li Du hates Xu Jian, Dingbei Hou doesn't say that Xu Jian is in danger, he can still assign some difficult things to Xu Jian, and there will be no credit and a lot of sins...... Grandmother, do you think I don't have to worry about the situation in the Dingbei Hou Mansion next door? ”

"Your Highness is worried about the situation of the Fuguo Duke, it is reasonable," the old lady thought for a while and said, "We have been neighbors with the Dingbei Hou Mansion for so many years, and we have had many contacts for decades, knowing their character, the Ji family should not be Li Du's people."

I also know that I don't know people and faces, but I don't know my heart, and I don't dare to say what to do.

But I think the court can judge the result by checking it. ”

Li Shao didn't expect to dig out any secrets next door from his grandmother, he was just very upset.

Since Enrongbo's Mansion and Dingbei Hou's Mansion are close, why can't Dingbei Hou help him Li Shao?

Oh.

Nor did the Enrongbo Mansion.

This is the point that Li Shao is most worried about.

With a fire in his heart, his face sank a little, and he simply said a few words of homely things, knowing that the old uncle and Uncle Enrong would not go back to the house to eat, Li Shao simply got up and said goodbye.

The old lady kept him, and if she couldn't keep him, she would forget it.

Xia Qingluo's two brothers sent him out all the way.

Along the way, Li Shao listened to Xia Qingzhi say this and that, Xia Qingxiao wanted to interrupt a few times, but the two of them didn't care about him.

When he walked to the door of the mansion, Li Shao could see it.

Xia Qingzhi also complained.

Li Shao didn't want to say more to Xia Qing, but it was a lot more pleasing to see Xia Qingzhi, and he beckoned to eat and drink together next time.

After sending Li Shao away, Xia Qingluo and Xia Qing knew: "Your Royal Highness is expensive, if you want to eat and drink, you should come to the house, forget it outside, so as not to make trouble." ”

Xia Qingzhi frowned and said, "You also said that His Royal Highness is expensive, and it is up to him to decide where he wants to eat and drink." I don't go to any strange places with His Royal Highness, and I have a drink in a serious restaurant, which is also worth your careful advice? Didn't you go out to eat and drink? ”

Words are not speculative for more than half a sentence.

But the speculative ones can be said to go together.

The next day, Li Shao invited Xia Qingzhi to dinner, and at noon, he booked a private room in a small restaurant not far from the Thousand Steps Corridor.

Because he is a member of the Xia family and doesn't drink alcohol, Gao Gonggong can't say anything.

A few side dishes, the two talked a lot.

is different from his cousin Qingluo, Xia Qing knows that he is studying in the Eight Classics, and his homework is not outstanding, but he can also be called decent.

But his path to education was not smooth.

The family did not arrange for him to be in the national prison, the academy is not bad, but there are many talents, he is a student who is only a head above others, and he is not a top student among his classmates.

"I also know that our Enrong Bofu has received the emperor's favor, and the queen mother has left early, so we must act more restrained and prudent," Xia Qing knew, "But I occasionally think that grandfather they are too restrained." ”

is obviously the ruler of Dashun, but the Xia family is far away from the government.

Enrongbo nodded to the court, and he didn't participate in other political affairs on weekdays, so he almost engraved the word "Qinggui" on his face.

Xia Qingzhi didn't think about letting the family put much effort into himself, but not only did he not care, but he was also humble, which was really aggrieved.

Quietly glancing at Gao Neizhi, Xia Qingzhi lowered his voice and said to Li Shao: "Say something that shouldn't be said, I'm quite envious of Liu Xun's kid."

is obviously a straw bale with an empty head, and his father worried about him a lot when he was in office, and he can't wait to arrange everything for him inside and out.

That is, Liu Xun himself couldn't carry it clearly, and he also caught the way of others, which affected His Royal Highness......"

Li Shao snorted.

This is indeed a true statement.

Liu Jing did his best to raise his son, of course, to raise a son whom he agreed.

Speaking of which, Liu Xun's kid was exiled, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive at the moment.

After lunch, Li Shao was dissatisfied with the alienation of his grandfather's family, Xia Qingzhi had thoughts about his grandfather and uncle's Qinggao, and the two thought of going together, which could be regarded as "falling in love".

In the next few days, we often met for dinner and wine.

Gao Neishou privately looked for Gonggong Cao: "I shouldn't be worried about Enrong Uncle's Mansion, but the little one feels that Xia Sangongzi's words are not very appropriate......"

Gonggong Cao knows it in his heart, and he is sacred.

Shengshang sighed: "Xu Jian is not in the capital, and Shao Er has no good friends. ”

After all, he is the nephew of the Xia family, and the saint will not say that Li Shao will not be allowed to interact with the relatives of his maternal grandfather's family, so he said: "Tell Qingluo, let him also get together, Qingluo follow, I can rest assured." ”

The other compartment.

Lin Yunyan's carriage entered the Sincerity Mansion.

Xiao Duan saw her and hurriedly said, "It's so hot, be careful not to get heat stroke." ”

"I made some cold cakes in the house, chilled them all the way, and brought them to my family to taste," Lin Yunyan said with a smile, "I'll send some to Enrongbo's Mansion later." ”

As soon as he heard this, Xiao Duan had to call for people.

Lin Yunyan stopped: "I'll go by myself." ”

"It's so hot......" Xiao Duan disagreed, and seeing that Lin Yunyan insisted, he had no choice but to follow her.

Yun Yan has always been assertive.

Maybe a trip next door is not just for the delivery of cold cakes.

In fact, Lin Yunyan did have something to visit the Xia family.

The capital is in a stormy situation because of the gold brick case in Dingbei Houfu, but Lin Yunyan needs to be vigilant the most is Li Shao.

According to the news from Shenchen, it may be that there is no Xu Jian urging Guan Zheng, and Li Shao seems to be solid in recent days.

And since Li Du still has the strength to frame others in Beijing, it is impossible for him to ignore Li Shao's "friend and foe" and be able to blow up a big artillery battle with one point.

It's just that now, it's not so easy to put people around Li Shao.

The path of eunuchs, chamberlains, and guards was tightly blocked by Father-in-law Cao.

If it weren't for the lack of skills, Gonggong Cao hated to follow Li Shao every twelve hours.

So, the one who has been close to Li Shao in recent times is Xia Qingzhi of Enrongbo's Mansion.

Lin Yunyan knows something about Xia Qingzhi.

Xia Qingzhi is the nephew of Uncle Enrong, his father is the second son of the old uncle, married a woman from an official family, in addition to Xia Qingzhi, there is also a daughter who has been out of the cabinet.

The incense of the Xia family is not prosperous, but it is not sparse.

Among the Qing generations, Xia Qingzhi, who is in the middle, is not up or down, and his family values him not as much as his eldest grandson, and he prefers him not as much as his grandson.

In such a situation, it is not surprising to complain about the situation at home.

But if you want to say that Li Du can rein in Xia Qingzhi, Lin Yunyan still doesn't believe it.

Because, Empress Xia died under Li Du's scheme, whether Li Du wanted it or not, the result was there.

It is not surprising that the Xia family gritted their teeth at Li Du.

How could anyone vote for Li Du?

Li Du wanted to make waves, so he had to make two more turns.

Lin Yunyan just wanted to figure out where these two bends were.

When she goes to Enrongbo's Mansion, she can also be called familiar.

When she was a child, she often came and went, and the old lady and Mrs. Uncle treated her very kindly.

Mama Yu, who was beside the old lady, trotted all the way to greet her: "County Lord, our old lady was still talking about you some time ago, saying that since you married to the Fuguo Mansion, it is not as convenient to see you as when you lived in the alley before." ”

Lin Yunyan.

When I saw the old lady, I sat down in both compartments, and Mama Yu presented the cold cakes sent to the plate.

The old lady smiled and used a piece: "It's still the county lord who thinks about me, and he doesn't forget me if he has delicious food." ”

"You used to have any good food and fun, and you didn't stuff it for me." Lin Yunyan said.

The old lady was happy, but her eyes were a glance, and she motioned to Mama Yu to pull everyone else back, and then asked Zhengse: "What is the business of the county lord coming over?" ”

"Yes," Lin Yunyan followed her words and said, "For the matter of the Dingbei Hou Mansion next door."

It's all an old neighbor of an alley, and I don't believe they will vote for Li Du.

My grandmother asked me to come over to discuss, so I wondered if I could help Dingbeihou Mansion at this moment. ”

Thank you for the book friend Brother Cha, I am the reward.
