Fan Jun, who was standing behind him, heard Wei Rui's sad words, and he didn't stop it, because he understood that the words of the righteous father in front of him would come true sooner or later. The father and son of the pen and the court www.biquge.info are both people who have a thorough understanding of the emperor's thoughts, and they have already seen a future with no prospects, so why continue to embarrass themselves and do those things they don't want to do?

Wei Rui knew that he couldn't continue to be sad, now that he had thought about everything clearly, he suddenly understood that everything could only be accepted so calmly, let those things that should happen, let them happen, and the quicksand in the long river of history would eventually go downstream.

He turned his back to Fan Jun and said softly: "After returning home, you and I must not break off contact." ”

"Father, rest assured, you are my second father, and this kindness has always been in my heart and will never be forgotten. ”

"You ------ the affairs of your family, if there is a need for me, don't be polite, you must tell me!"

"------ good, I will. ”

"Have you already copied the score?" Wei Rui asked softly.

"Now that the copy is complete, I'll go back and bring it to my father-in-law. Fan Jun hurriedly went to get the score.

Wei Rui felt a pain in his heart when he thought that he would be separated from him soon, and he knew that once he returned to the capital, the bloody rain would come overwhelmingly.

At this time, Wei Rui suddenly found that a man dressed in black and with a black cloth on his face quietly came to the barracks on horseback, and after he showed the talisman in his hand, he was taken to the emperor's big tent. Wei Rui was suddenly a little shocked, he felt a faint uneasiness, constantly approaching himself, approaching Fan Jun.

The man in black walked into Xiao Yan's big tent and knelt down to salute. Xiao Yan saw the back screen retreat left and right, and then asked, "How are things going?"

"Everything was as the emperor expected, they couldn't hold it anymore. The man in black replied in a low voice.

"What is Fan Yuncheng, the official of Dali Temple who has just taken office, doing now?"

"Back to the emperor, he is investigating several unsolved cases that have not been solved before, and as for the purpose of his investigation, he has not yet found out. ”

Xiao Yan knew that he was knowingly asking, so there was no need to ask about the purpose of the investigation, and he didn't dare to say it when he asked the person in front of him. What he feared most had happened, and now the situation forced him to do what he didn't want to do, and there was nothing he could do about it.

"Did anyone know when you came?"

"There are emperor's talismans along the way, and there are no difficulties!" the man hurriedly replied.

"Go back, do everything according to the instructions of the Union, and never reveal your identity unless you have to. Xiao Yan advised.

"The emperor can rest assured, my identity is not known to anyone other than the emperor. The man in black said hurriedly.

Xiao Yan nodded slightly: "Of course I believe in you." ”

"Retire under the next!" the man in black quietly withdrew from the big tent and rode away in the direction of the capital.

All his actions were hidden in the dark Wei Rui, he saw it clearly, he waited for the man in black to leave, and then slowly returned to his tent, for the man in black who suddenly appeared, Wei Rui did not have too much worry, he was most worried about the emperor who was full of tricks at this time, and those officials in the capital who were kept in the dark, the emperor was afraid that this trick was used a long time ago, if there was no obscene trick of two sides and three knives, thinking about the emperor's country, it would not be stable.

He is also a little worried about his family in the capital now, his wife suffered some hardships in Yongzhou a few days ago, although he only brought it lightly in the family letter, but Fan Jun came back and told him the truth about what happened, thinking that He Zheng is so ruthless, if his wife is a little careful, she will really die in his hands.

"Father-in-law, I brought you the score. Fan Jun's call made Wei Rui wake up from his contemplation.

He took the score, looked through it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction: "Jun'er's handwriting, the writing is really good, it is rare that your wonderful calligraphy is really lovely." ”

"My father-in-law has won the award, and Fan Jun is not as good as you say. ”

Wei Rui put away the score, and Wen Yan said, "It's not too early this day, you should go back and rest early." ”

"Hey, I'll go back then. ”

"Let's go back. Wei Rui waved him away.

After Fan Jun left, Wei Rui gently ordered his subordinates to prepare a car for him, he packed his things and rushed to Shaoyang City overnight.

Early in the morning after the month, when Zhao Cao rushed back to the capital, the temperature in Jiankang City had risen, and in the warm spring breeze in the south, the buds of those spring flowers were already full and about to break open. He couldn't imagine that he had come all the way, the spring in the capital was actually full, far away in the border army, this snow was still a thick layer, he couldn't help sighing, there I want to see this beautiful bud, I'm afraid it's impossible.

"Lord Zhao!" he heard someone calling out to him behind him, he hurriedly turned around, and it was Ling Xiao standing behind him.

Zhao Cao hurriedly stepped forward and gave a deep salute: "The last general has seen Mrs. Fan!"

"Lord Zhao must not be so polite. Ling Xiao hurriedly bowed his knees and saluted, "I don't know if Lord Zhao is coming, what do you want to find the little girl?"

Zhao Cao scratched the beard on his face with some embarrassment: "This, I was entrusted by someone to come and send something to Madame." ”

"Oh?" Ling Xiao was taken aback when he heard this, he rarely dealt with outsiders, who would give him something.

Zhao Cao hurriedly took off the bag he was carrying behind him and handed it to Ling Xiao: "Someone ordered me to hand this thing over to Madame." ”

Ling Xiao looked at Zhao Cao in front of her in confusion, and did not reach out to take it, she had already guessed that it was a guqin by virtue of the things in the bag, but she never knew anyone outside the Fan family, who would do this?

"Lord Zhao, can you explain to the little girl who gave it to me?" Ling Xiao asked puzzled.

"Madame, don't embarrass me, that man has commanded it, and he can't tell you. Zhao Cao said in a bit of a panic, and stuffed the piano into Ling Xiao's hand with a hairy hand, "That's it, madam, I still have a lot of things to report when I return to Beijing, you stay, I'll go." ”

"But, Lord Zhao, you haven't told the little girl yet, who is ------" Ling Xiao saw Zhao Cao bowing his head and hurriedly walked out of the gate of Fan's Mansion, so he had to shut up.

She looked at this bag a little strangely, this bag looked a little shabby, it must be a little old, I don't know who would send a guqin to herself, she thought about everyone she knew, among these people, there are few people who like to play the piano, she suddenly remembered Master Liu Yun who came to the house a few days ago, could it be him? Ling Xiao thought for a while and shook his head, even if Liu Yun sent the qin to himself, he would not entrust a person in the army to send it over.

These days she did too much embroidery, her eyes were a little flowery, she put the piano aside, leaned on the osmanthus tree in the courtyard that has grown very tall, this tree Fan Jun was still very short when he left, I didn't think it would grow so fast, the flowers that bloom every year are very fragrant, every year around the Mid-Autumn Festival, she and Xiao Ni will clean up those osmanthus flowers, dry them and keep them for backup, these years Xiao Ni's skills in making osmanthus cakes are getting better and better, the osmanthus cakes she made are almost the same as the taste made by Ling Xiao, which is also the most comforting thing for Ling Xiao over the years。

"Madam, why are you here?" Xiao Ni came from the backyard and saw Ling Xiao leaning on the trunk of the tree, looking a little tired.

Ling Xiao opened her eyes, and she smiled slightly when she saw Xiao Ni, "Xiao Nirvana, I suddenly want to eat osmanthus cake, can you make some?"

Xiao Ne stepped forward and slowly helped her sit on the stone bench: "Madame, let's go back to the room and rest first, I'll do it in a while." ”

Xiao Ni turned her head and saw the brocade on the ground, and she asked with some curiosity, "What is this?"

Ling Xiao sighed: "It's a guqin, I don't know who gave it to me." ”

Xiao Ni was also very strange when she heard this, this Mrs. Fan had no contact with outsiders at all, how could someone give her something? She didn't continue to ask, just picked it up and helped Ling Xiao to walk slowly to her bedroom.

Ling Xiao held Xiao Ni's hand tightly, since the two sons left her one after another, this Xiao Ni is the closest child to her, although there are too many things in this child that people can't figure out, but she is a good child with a good nature, thanks to her taking care of herself by her side over the years, every time she sees her smile like a flower, the big stone in her heart is no longer so heavy and unbearable.

Xiao Ni put the brocade bag on the table, helped Ling Xiao lie down slowly, she opened the brocade quilt and covered Ling Xiao's body.

Ling Xiao watched Xiao Ni doing these things seriously, she felt so warm in her heart, at this time she realized why Fan Yuncheng wanted to have another daughter for herself, if there was such a lovely and gentle girl by her side, what a good thing it would be.

"Little Nirvana------" Ling Xiao was halfway through his words, and began to hesitate again.

Xiao Ni raised her head, she saw Ling Xiao at this time, her face was a little pale, this Mrs. Fan has been too tired all these years, she has to endure too much pressure and pain alone, Xiao Ni can't think of anyone like her, so strong and so calm.

"Madame, what did you just want to say?" asked Nie softly.

"I know you feel sorry for your mother, so let's go and see her sometime. Ling Xiao knew that it was best not to mention Mrs. Hui in front of her, but she was also a mother, she knew that the painful feeling of missing her child was indescribable, and Xiao Ni must have rarely felt the warmth of maternal love since she was a child, which was a regret that she could never make up for in this life.

Xiao Ni shook his head: "Madam, you have already made it very clear to me that day, I understand this------ she is not worthy of being my mother, my Xiao Ni is this fatherless and motherless person, I am willing to do something like this beside you and the master, I am willing." ”

Xiao Nie's eyes were full of tears, and she forced herself not to cry, but to smile, because there are too many things in this world that make her want to cry, but those tears can't help her at all, they can only make her more painful, so she doesn't want to shed tears by herself, so it's better not to let herself think about these things.

"The master has always wanted to recognize you as his daughter, but you always refuse to agree------ Ling Xiao suddenly remembered something, she hurriedly asked, "What did my Jun'er say to you before leaving?"
