The delicacies have been served and everything is ready.

When the whole family was seated, the master said:

"Let's eat!"

Immediately, everyone picked up the stewed pigeon soup with wild mountain mushrooms that had been held on the table, picked up the spoon, and tasted it one bite at a time.

Xu Zixuan was full of worries, much quieter than usual, she casually followed everyone to drink the soup, because of the unpleasant taste, she couldn't taste the deliciousness of the stewed pigeon with wild mountain mushrooms.

At this time, sitting opposite her, her five-year-old nephew Xu Qinye was very discerning, and his eating movements and demeanor were like an adult. He saw Xu Zixuan's expression in a trance and a little absent-minded, so he said:

"Auntie, do you have something on your mind, why do you eat without energy?"

As soon as the child's words came out, the whole family raised their heads, everyone looked at Xu Zixuan, and then looked at Xiao Qinye; his words, the old lady more or less paid attention to the meaning, so she raised her worried eyes to look at her daughter Xu Zixuan, and said with concern:

"Xuan'er, let's eat, kid!"

And her father and sister-in-law had no idea. At this time, the Taishi smiled, first praised the little grandson, and said:

"Diligent work, then you should set an example for your aunt and eat seriously!"

As he spoke, he looked at his beloved daughter again, and asked lovingly:

"Xuan'er, what's wrong, is it because you're not feeling well?"

"No, father, my body is fine!" Xu Zixuan said with a reluctant smile, "However, there is also a small matter, I want to talk to my father!"

"Oh! what's the matter?"

"Father, did you find the man who killed the assassin in your study last time?"

"Hunting!" Taishi felt very strange, so he put down the soup bowl and looked at his daughter intently and asked, "What's the matter!" Xuan'er, why did you suddenly ask about this?"

The whole family waited for her answer.

Therefore, her mother, Mrs. Taishi, put down her chopsticks with a sigh and said:

"Master, the two people drawn on your wanted document are very similar to the two heroes we met in the Black Wind Forest when we returned to Beijing, could it be the two of them?" Seeing her mother say this, Xu Zixuan immediately threw a grateful glance at her.

"Oh, is there such a thing?" asked Mrs. Xu, who was a little surprised, "What's their name?"

"At that time, they did not want to leave their names," said the old lady, "and we gave them five hundred taels of gold and silver as a reward at that time, but they all politely declined!"

"Oh! I see. Taishi nodded, and said with a thoughtful look, "It seems that they are all righteous Jianghu people!

"Not really! Xu Zixuan heard her father say this, so she followed his tone and said, "The person who intercepted and killed the assassin in your study last time, and the man who was later caught by Shen Kuo and others, are the two benefactors who saved my life and my mother in the Black Wind Forest!"

When the Taishi heard his daughter say this, he frowned, and he seemed to realize that his daughter was deliberately defending these two individuals. But the old lady looked at her daughter's sad face, and at her husband's frowning expression, and then took over the conversation and said:

"Master, didn't the young man who killed the assassin in your study tell you his intentions that day?"

"The Assassin came first, he came later!" said the Master, "I only heard the Assassin call him Wu Shuang coldly, so that I judged his name to be Wu Shuang, and they fought each other ever since, and when he finally fled, he did not see a word from him." ”

"Then the portrait on the sea capture document you approved, but the man who intercepted the assassin that night?"

"I didn't pay attention to this!" said the Taishi, "this time, they made a big fuss about the Yamen of the Criminal Department, and two of them were the arresters of the current Holy Emperor, and they also made a big fuss about the Criminal Department. ”

"Father, this person is also the life-saving benefactor of our family!" Xu Zixuan looked at her father excitedly and said, hoping that he could take back his life and give Wu Shuang justice. "And ......" She stopped abruptly at this point, because she thought that telling her father what Wu Shuang said to her at this time would not only not make her father more vigilant against Hu Wei and Gan Shangshu and others, but would make her father feel that her news was strange and that she was suspected of framing good people.

However, the Taishi then asked her:

"And what's wrong, Xuan'er?"

"And ......" She couldn't find a better reason to prevaricate this question for a while, and she waited for a long time before she said in a flash of inspiration, "Moreover, General Mo also knows about this!"

"Riding Captain Mo Sijiang?" asked the Taishi.

"Yes. It's him!" Xu Zixuan said, now that she had made up her mind, she would go back to this person and teach him how to answer what her father was about to ask him. Thinking of this, her mood was much more relaxed.

"Okay, then I'll go back and ask him what's going on. The Taishi said, "Now that the family has a good meal, don't talk about it anymore!"

As he spoke, the master took a piece of eel fillet in her bowl and told her:

"Xuan'er, don't worry, your father will make a fair decision!"

Xu Zixuan was afraid that as soon as her father finished eating, she would go to find Mo Sijiang, the commander of the cavalry, to understand the situation, in that case, she was very worried that his answer would be even more unfavorable to Wu Shuang. Therefore, she hurriedly finished her meal, said a word to everyone, and left the dining room first.

Walking through a courtyard, next door to the sergeant's dining room, just after riding the commander Mo Sijiang finished eating, he was walking out of the dining room. Suddenly, I heard someone shouting:

"General Mo!"

Mo Sijiang turned around in response, and saw the third lady's maid Xiang'er, like a thin moon, standing at the gate of the circular courtyard, smiling at him, beckoning, and signaling him to come over. Mo Sijiang was excited, after all, this time he escorted the Taishi's family back to his hometown, and he was fortunate to have frequent contact with this delicate and charming maid along the way. The two of them are also in their youth, and they are both good-looking to each other, so they also secretly sent autumn waves and exchanged their eyebrows.

"Xiang'er!" Mo Sijiang, the commander of the cavalry, rushed over, and when he saw that there was no one next to him, he said with a smile, "I was looking forward to not seeing you in the past two days, and I was in a panic, but it happened that you came by yourself!"

Xiang'er's cheeks turned crimson as she spoke, and she lowered her head shyly and said:

"If you really want me, go and explain to my young lady, it's better than looking at the moon across the sea like this!"

"That's, that's!" Mo Sijiang's heart was about to be burned by love, but he was also worried, Mochizuki sighed and didn't know how to get it, but now she took the initiative to give him advice, isn't this the icing on the cake. He said, "This time, as soon as I see the third lady of your family, I will mention this matter to her!"

"Okay then, now I'll take you to my third lady!"

Mo Sijiang thought she was talking about something funny, so he also smiled and said:

"Then I dare to go!"

Therefore, Xiang'er walked in front and said:

"Let's go!"

When Mo Sijiang saw that she really walked back, he realized that she really said and did it, which made him a little stage frightened, so he asked solemnly:

"Xiang'er, did you really ask me to find your third lady?"

Xiang'er stopped, looked back at her stunned appearance, couldn't help but laugh, suddenly blushed all over her face, her face was delicate, she took her jade hand to cover her pink face and said:

"Dare to love you, you're playing tricks with me!"

Mo Sijiang's face was so ashamed that he was red, and he plucked up the courage to say in fear:

"What do you think I'm afraid of, it's just that people are not mentally prepared because of suddenness! Even in front of the master and the lady, I dare to speak out!"

So, he didn't wait for Xiang'er, and walked straight to the third lady's boudoir treasure pavilion. (To be continued.) )
