Chapter 154: Sketching
said, "My good grandson, good grandson, your grandfather and I are here, don't be afraid!" ”
He lovingly touched Xia Jingrui's hair and stroked it back and forth on his head, hoping to bring him a hint of stability.
Xia Jingrui was firmly held in his arms and asked, "Where are the bodies of your father and mother now?" ”
Xia Jingrui replied in a hoarse voice, "I have stopped in the courtyard, just waiting for you to come, and then I will set off and send it to the capital." ”
When the old prince heard this, his heart was like a knife, and he said, "Go, follow me to see your father and mother for the last time." ”
His big hand took Xia Jingrui's arm, Jingrui lowered his head and followed him in shame, and before he took two steps, the old prince scolded and said, "Is there a saint on the ground?" ”
"Raise your head for me, no matter what kind of defeat our Xia family children have experienced, we must not lose our morale together."
Xia Jingrui responded loudly, "Yes," the voice was so hoarse that it broke directly, and the old prince took pity on him and said, "Don't be afraid, he said my good boy, your grandfather is here." ”
"Everything is presided over by your grandfather for you, don't be afraid, I have received the military information transmitted to me from the front."
"I know that many of these people are suspicious of you, don't worry, grandfather must believe in you and stand on your side."
"I know it's impossible for anyone to trust you completely, because it's inextricably linked to you."
"It's just that don't worry, your father and mother are watching you from the sky, and I will always stand behind you."
As soon as these words came out, Xia Jingrui couldn't help but start crying loudly, "Grandfather, I really didn't hurt my father's heart, I didn't have it at all!" ”
"Good boy, grandfather naturally believes in you, you don't know that the people in this city have always relied on your father for a living, for so many years, your father has controlled this border and has not let the Turkic army enter the city."
"The people also live and work in peace and contentment, and how many people dare to remember your father's kindness, but when he suddenly encountered such a catastrophe, many people suspected that someone was secretly framed and colluded with thieves to kill the two of them."
Xia Jingrui shouted hysterically, "But these things have something to do with me, and those people also say that I betrayed the country to seek glory, and killed my biological parents for the gold and silver treasures sent by the Turks." ”
"Them!"
"They said it so badly, I didn't dare to say those words, for fear of mistaking my grandfather's ears, grandfather, you know, how could I do such a thing that is not as good as a pig and a dog?"
"Father and mother raised me, I can't do anything for them, that is, how can I still step on their corpses? What is the so-called gold and silver road? ”
"I know good boy, I know don't cry. It's cold here, so be careful that you hurt your eyes by crying. You have the most respect for your parents. ”
"These rumors may have been deliberately spread by someone!" The guards who followed behind the old prince couldn't help but reddened their eyes when they heard this.
What General Xia did to him, his only son, everyone saw it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts. And this eldest young master is even more loving and respectful to his father and mother.
It's just because he came here when he was young, and the environment here is bitterly cold. General Xia didn't think he had a favorable environment, so everything went according to him.
Even so, he was not raised with the habits of the eldest young master, which shows that the rumors are not true.
Xia Jingrui cried silently, "They all said that I turned my back on my father and mother, but I really don't know why, my father just saw my longevity lock and led the troops out of the city overnight." ”
"I think there must be something hidden in it, and now only General Liu Shen is willing to believe me, even when I walk on the main road, those people are pointing at me."
"I'm really at a loss for words now, and I can only make a decision with death!"
"You must not talk nonsense."
The old prince grabbed his hand, "Good boy, your father and mother are the only child left with you now, and so am I, just a big grandson like you." ”
"You are my heart, my heart, you must not say such discouraged words, your grandfather and I are not here? With me administering justice for you, what are you afraid of? ”
"Those people are also because your father has been stationed here all the year round, and he has been kind to them, so they hate you so much, but they are also blinded, and they must not be angry with them."
"All the problems are supported by your grandfather in front of you, you just need to take care of it, and the momentum of our Xia family will be fine."
"What you haven't done, no matter who you are, it is impossible for anyone to frame you directly, as long as you have done something, it will inevitably leave traces."
"Grandfather, I will definitely find a way to help you clear this grievance. As for your longevity lock, is it still on you? ”
Xia Jingrui hurriedly took it out and said, "Hand it to my grandfather, grandfather, you see, this is what you personally built for me back then." ”
"There are still marks on it that I broke when I was naughty, how could it be? Why did my father leave the city like this? ”
"Good boy, don't cry, go back to the house early and accompany me to mourn, your father and mother."
"Yes, grandfather."
The old prince came to the gate of the mansion, looked at the white lanterns hanging inside and outside the mansion, and suddenly felt sad in his heart.
Before he saw all this, he could still deceive himself, saying that it was probably a ploy set up by the eldest son, or maybe the eldest son had not seen him for a long time.
Maybe everything has not reached the point of no return, and this bloody fact is already in front of him, and he can't help but deceive himself.
He looked at the white lantern, didn't dare to look into the courtyard for a single step, and his figure shook a few times involuntarily.
Dongxu and Xia Jingrui on the side hurriedly supported him, "Grandfather, prince, you have to take care of your body!" ”
The old prince grabbed Xia Jingrui's hand, pulled it into his arms and said, "Let's go, come with me to see your father and mother." ”
He came to the coffin, touched the two coffins lovingly with his hands, and said, "My son, daughter-in-law, you have been fighting all your life on the frontier, and now a thief has poured dirty water on your only son, my eldest grandson, don't worry, I will definitely seek justice for them." ”
"It's also for you to seek justice, so you can go in peace."
Speaking of this, the old prince's tears flowed down, Xia Jingrui knelt down beside the coffin of his father and mother and cried loudly, "Father, mother, the child really hasn't done the slightest thing that is not as good as a pig and a dog." ”
"You must be clear in heaven, no matter what others say, the child will not go to his heart, even the two of you."
"You must believe in the child," Seeing this, the old prince could no longer bear to pull Xia Jingrui up.
"A good boy doesn't cry anymore, and it hurts to grieve a lot."
"Grandfather," Xia Jingrui's eyes were already red from crying, and the old prince touched his shoulder worriedly and said, "Xia Jingrui, you are a good son of my Xia family." ”
"Right now, this is a catastrophe for our Xia family, you must stand firm, stand still."
"Yes, my grandson understands, please rest assured."
"Without finding out who the thief is, my grandson will not act rashly."
"Okay, this is good, this is the good son of my Xia family."
In the capital, "the courtier Xia Qingqing, the micro-minister Xia Jinghong, see the saint!" “
"Good boy, are you going to get up?"
"County Lord, Qin Guogong entered the palace and said that your Baiyutang has developed something good, you can quickly take it out and give it to me to taste, but you are not allowed to hide it."
As he spoke, the emperor looked at her with a smile, and Xia Qingqing replied in a soft voice, "Back to the emperor, although the courtier's Bai Yutang has made new food. “
"It's just that if it's done, it's sent from the white jade hall to the main hall, and the time is delayed on the road, this thing, it must be just out of the pot, and the steaming ones are delicious, so I don't think of a way for this courtier."
"This is what the courtier Bai Yutang did when she was newly eating, and she specially wrote it on paper and entered the palace to give it to the emperor."
"The imperial kitchen skills in your palace compound are even more profound, it is better for them to make it and send it to the main hall, please taste such a thing, it is delicious and warm."
"The emperor raised his eyebrows, you are willing to take out the secret recipe, this is not your usual practice."
Your Majesty, the emperor did not wear formal clothes today, but a ginger robe, and did not sit on the chair seriously, but lay on the small couch in the imperial study, half-leaning and chatting with them.
At first glance, the spirit is not enough.
Xia Qingqing returned, "Your Majesty, this is a little bit of the courtier's heart, don't think about it, go to this secret recipe, if it is someone else, the courtiers will definitely be unwilling to give it to 10,000." ”
"But if it is dedicated to the emperor, there is nothing unwilling, and it is just a food, if it can win the emperor's love, it is the creation of this food."
"In the future, when I promote this food, I can also make it clear that it is the emperor, and I have personally praised the pastries I have eaten, so it can be regarded as adding luster to this pastry."
The emperor scolded with a smile, "You, the little daughter of the ghost spirit. ”
Xing Guogong said while playing a side drum. "In that case, then quickly hand over this secret recipe to Father-in-law Fu'an, and let him go and let the imperial chefs make it!"
Xia Qingqing immediately took out a thin piece of letter paper from his arms and handed it to Fu'an beside him, he also said, "Oh, this is it!" The secret recipe of the golden price, the old slave has to be good to collect. ”
"Emperor's servants, let the imperial chefs in the imperial dining room do it now."
The emperor said, "Yes, you do it quickly." It's done, serve it, and let's try it together. ”
"It just so happens that the person who makes this secret recipe is also here, and if the taste of the imperial chefs is wrong, she can still guide her on the spot."
As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed. Xing Guogong said, "Your Majesty, you are really! Make the most of it. ”
"Look at what you're talking about, it's obvious that she didn't do a good job, and she brought it to me, and it was my fault to let you say this."
