Xiao Wenjun did not wait for the concubine to come to the door, but first waited for the emperor's holy decree, after receiving the news, the group walked quickly to the door of the prince's mansion to greet them, and saw that the servant in the decree was actually Gonggong An, so he felt that this matter would not be simple.

Set up the incense case.

Everyone in the prince's mansion knelt down to accept the order.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, longevity by the mandate of heaven, mourning and glory out of holy mercy, hearing the death of the old lady of the Xiao family, I am sad, the eldest son of the Xiao family of Lanling Wen Qing has lived in Beijing for 20 years, self-denial and revenge, ordered to be cautious, and amnesty for returning to his hometown."

Xiao Wenjun's brother and sister glanced at each other, and they all saw ecstasy and grief in each other's eyes, and the emperor finally remembered that the Xiao family still had a proton, and it seemed that the grandmother had died, and the royal family had weakened a little bit of jealousy of the Xiao family, which was really ironic.

All in all, it is a good thing that the eldest brother can return to Lanling.

The two of them thanked him for receiving the order, and when they were about to stand up, Gonggong An continued: "Shao'an, don't be impatient, Your Majesty still has a will." ”

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, Lanling Xiao's eldest son Wenqing has a noble character, loyalty to filial piety, gentle and elegant, and a talented group. Immediately canonized the county prince of Lanling, and gave the ancestral house of Lanling, Qin this! ”

"Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live."

The brother and sister did not hesitate, and accepted the order with a dignified thanks.

From the moment he entered the gate of the Shizi Mansion, Gonggong An began to carefully observe the county lord of Lanling, who has been in the limelight in recent days, and saw that he was calm, advanced and retreated, and there was no trace of the arrogance and arrogance of the outside world, and the rumors were not credible.

"Thank you Father-in-law, I'm tired all the way, please move to the flower hall for a cup of tea." Xiao Wenqing did not show any dissatisfaction on his face, bowed his hand, and made a gesture of please.

Grandpa An smiled: "Congratulations to Xiao County, Your Majesty has allowed you to leave in three days, please prepare early!" ”

"Yes, thank you for the emperor's grace, thank you Gonggong An for mentioning it." Xiao Wenqing also chuckled.

"There's no need to drink tea, Your Majesty can't leave anyone, and the slave has to go back quickly to restore his life." Father-in-law An politely refused.

Xiao Wenqing did not force him to stay, took out his purse and quietly stuffed it into the hands of Gonggong An, and personally sent the person out of the Shizi Mansion.

From beginning to end, Father-in-law An did not speak to Xiao Wenjun alone. After returning to the palace, the emperor just asked Xiao Wenqing about the situation casually, but Gonggong An also reported Xiao Wenjun's words and deeds in detail, won the joy of the Sacred Heart, and praised him for his understanding.

After Father-in-law An left, the smile on the lips of the brother and sister faded, and the expression on their faces became serious.

Two holy decrees came down in succession, and people couldn't come back to their senses like sticks.

"Big brother, congratulations on your long-cherished wish coming true, and you can finally return to Lanling."

"Third sister, don't make fun of it, the eldest brother hasn't even kept the title of the palace, how happy to congratulate." Xiao Wenqing shook his head and smiled bitterly.

I don't know how many levels the county duke and the prince are different, after this holy decree, I don't know how many people are watching the jokes of the Xiao family, and how many people will secretly step on a few feet, the Xiao family is going to be defeated in their own hands?

Thinking of this, the joy of returning home was instantly diluted, and Xiao Wenqing couldn't help but feel a little hesitant and sad.

"Big brother don't have to be discouraged, my grandmother once told us that we are not afraid of running out of firewood to stay in the green mountains. What's more, the title of king and marquis is something outside the body, as long as the person is there, these things will always have a chance to get back, and when the person is gone, everything is in vain. ”

In fact, Xiao Wenjun was also very puzzled in his heart, the eldest brother in his previous life was also after his grandmother passed away, and the emperor ordered him to return to his hometown to worry, but he still inherited his father's prince, which link in this life has changed?

Fortunately, the old mansion of the Xiao family was preserved, so it seems that the emperor finally left two points of affection, and it is better to talk than nothing.

"It's me who is obsessed, the Xiao family is in a precarious situation at this time, and I am suffering from gains and losses here." Xiao Wenqing only sighed, then regained his spirits and continued.

"This time I went back to Lanling, I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to come to Kyoto again, and the matter of retiring from the marriage has not yet been seen, leaving the third sister alone in this Longtan Tiger's Den, I am very worried."

"Big brother, relax, don't you still believe in my ability?" Seeing that the eldest brother cheered up, Xiao Wenjun said proudly: "If the eldest brother believes me, there are a few important things to discuss with you seriously!" ”

"You and I are both descendants of the Xiao family!" Xiao Wenqing said it categorically.

"Big brother is a long way to go, there are many variables, there are two official roads from Kyoto to Lanling, can the big brother take a detour from Jinzhou, and be more cautious when encountering mountain and rock sections, and send someone to investigate before going on the road."

"But in this way, it will delay a lot of time, after my grandmother died, I did not return to Lanling for the first time to guard filial piety, it is already disobedient, if for personal stability, on the road to retreat, it is disrespectful!"

"If the eldest brother has an accident on the road, how can he be worthy of his grandmother?" Xiao Wenjun's expression was solemn, and his tone could not be refused.

When she didn't return to Beijing, she immediately discussed with her eldest brother about returning to her hometown, because she was afraid that her eldest brother would be suspicious.

More than a month after the death of his grandmother in his previous life, the eldest brother hurried back to Lanling, it was summer, and the heavy rain that had caused a landslide for several days, and it happened that the eldest brother encountered a mudslide, so he lost a leg!

Lost the qualification to go to the battlefield, leaving only the second brother to support in the army, but it was difficult to support alone, and it was rumored that he was captured in a battle, and the Manchu Dynasty was both verbally and literally criticized, but in fact, the second brother fought his way out of the encirclement, but the truth was insignificant in front of interests.

The boy of the Xiao family would rather die standing than live on his knees!

It is normal to encounter landslides in summer, and it is reasonable that there will be no mudslides in autumn, but I am afraid that it is man-made and not accidental!

And she didn't dare to bet!

Xiao Wenqing was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes seemed to have deep meaning for Xiao Wenjun, and the third sister would not be untargeted, and it would not hurt to pay more attention to herself.

"The eldest brother understands, the third sister has other instructions."

Noticing the change in Xiao Wenqing's wording, Xiao Wenjun only groaned slightly, and then said: "After the eldest brother arrives safely in Lanling, he must continue to maintain his prodigal appearance in Kyoto. ”

Seeing that Xiao Wenqing wanted to speak and stopped, Xiao Wenjun raised his hand to stop and continued.

"This autumn's harvest is good, there are surplus grains in many states and counties around Lanling, please big brother collect the surplus grain, the more the better, fill the granary I left in Lanling, but this matter needs to be kept secret! And the eldest brother disguises himself as a gentleman, which is more conducive to acting. ”

"In recent years, there have been frequent disasters in Daqi, and there are very few years when the wind and rain are good, so this move is just to prevent trouble!"

"It turns out that the third sister has already arranged it." Xiao Wen cleared his distress and became even more self-conscious, in order to dispel the suspicion of the royal family, he had empty ambitions, and he had been in Kyoto for many years, but he achieved nothing.

In the final analysis, it is better to look ahead and backward and have too many scruples. But there is no third sister who has the courage to move forward!

"Big brother doesn't need to feel guilty, the descendants of the Xiao family can enjoy the glory and can bear the responsibility, the burden on your body is heavier than mine, you may go to the battlefield in the future to make contributions, and I hope that the eldest brother will be careful in everything."

Hearing the word "battlefield", Xiao Wenqing's eyes lit up, and the pride in his chest suddenly grew, and the depression that the second holy decree pressed on his heart suddenly dissipated a lot.

"Third sister, rest assured, the eldest brother will not let you down, let alone shame your grandmother and father!"
