Quick travel: The paranoid god is spoiled by the apex treasure again

Di Heng stayed in Wuzhou for three days. During the next two days, he would climb over the wall and enter the prefect's house at midnight. He would find the courtyard where Xi Nujin lived and climb in through the window.

It's just that because of the cold weather in the past two days, Xi Nuojin caught the cold and took medicine and went to bed early. He didn't wake her up. He sat quietly beside her bed for a long time, doing nothing and just looking at it. He stayed with her until dawn before leaving.

On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, the document that Xi Maobai was transferred back to Beijing and appointed as the third-rank Shuntian Prefecture Yin was sent to the Wuzhou Prefecture Yamen.

The next day, she and Han started packing their things for their return to Beijing.

On December 13th, as soon as the gates of Wuzhou City opened in the early morning, the Xi family's carriage and horses set off back to Beijing in a low-key manner.

It took the carriage three days to reach the capital from Wuzhou. At this time, winter had already entered the capital, and the pedestrians walking on the street were all wearing thick winter coats.

They will arrive in the capital today. Yang Cang, the chief steward of the Xi Mansion, has been waiting at the gate of the city with two servants early, preparing to welcome the second master and his family back to his home.

"Jin'er, our second room has been separated from the eldest brother's family. Today we just go back to see our mother, and we won't live there." Seeing that they were about to arrive at Xi's mansion, Han patted Xi Nujin's hand in relief. .

Sister-controlled Xi Zixuan also quickly said: "Sister, don't be afraid, I will protect you."

"Auntie, I know." Xi Ningjin raised his hand and rubbed Xi Zixuan's head again, and said with a smile, "Okay, I won't be afraid if Zixuan protects me."

Xi Zixuan's ears turned red: "Sister, I told you not to touch my head. I'm not tall."

"You brat, you're not tall and you're a picky eater. How can you blame your sister for this?" Xi Maobai listened to them and made a joke.

Xi Zixuan was not happy when he heard this: "Dad! Sister, don't listen to my father. I don't mean to blame my sister. Forget it, sister... you can touch me if you want. Also, I will grow taller." of."

He is not picky about food, he is just a little more particular about what he eats than ordinary people.

The family was talking and laughing in the carriage, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

After walking for a cup of tea, the carriage stopped in front of the gate of Xi's Mansion. However, it was no longer the prestigious residence of the Minister of Works. Now Xi Maolin is no longer the Minister of Works. He is just a seventh-grade Sesame. A junior official doesn't even have the right to attend the morning court. The house where his eldest family lives now is on West Street.

Xi Maobai and Xi Zixuan got off the carriage first, and Xi Nuojin helped Han get off the carriage.

Aunt Gui, who was beside Mrs. Xi, also came out, invited their family in, and led them to the main hall.

Mrs. Xi was sitting on the main seat, with Xi Maolin and his wife Zhou and his wife Song sitting at the bottom, and the fourteen-year-old Xi Yanyan and the two concubines born from her concubine were sitting next to her.

"My son wishes his mother well." Xi Maobai spoke first.

"I wish my mother well, Mrs. Han."

Xi Nujin and Xi Zixuan said in unison: "My grandson (daughter) sends my regards to my grandmother."

The siblings turned to Xi Maolin and saluted him: "Uncle."

No one mentioned the mistress Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou snorted unwillingly. This was the first time Ms. Song had seen the second room and her family since she entered the house, and she looked at them curiously.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back, Mao Bai, your family has worked hard all the way, please sit down quickly." Mrs. Xi said with a smile on her face: "Come here, serve tea to the second master."

Xi Maobai agreed, and the two siblings sat down together with Mr. Han.

"Why is my sister still wearing a veil when she gets to the house? Are she afraid to see people?" Xi Yanyan hasn't finished speaking yet.

Xi Nuojin had already taken off her veil, and everyone in the main hall except her parents and younger brother who were drinking tea looked at her in surprise, and they didn't recover for a long time.

I saw the girl's black hair, curved eyebrows, high nose, light red lips, skin as good as snow, beautiful face, eyes like a clear spring, and as she looked around, she had a sense of elegance and elegance. temperament.

A light yellow winter skirt showed off her slender waist to the fullest. Hanging from her waist was a transparent white jade pendant with mutton fat, and a five-color tassel hanging from it.

"Sister Yanyan, what did you want to say just now?" Xi Nuojin looked at Xi Yanyan and asked softly.

"No." Xi Yanyan lowered her head and twisted the handkerchief in her hands, her eyes full of jealousy, why did she look so good.

The two concubines only raised their eyes to look at her, then lowered their heads.

Xi Maolin looked at the slim Xi Nujin in front of him, his eyes could not hide his amazement. He vaguely remembered that she was extremely beautiful when she was a child. It can be said that she inherited all the advantages of him and her biological mother Qin. Anyone who has seen her Everyone said that she would be a first-class beauty when she grew up, but they didn't expect her to be like a fairy in the sky now.

Just put her among the noble ladies in the capital, and Xi Nujin would definitely stand out from the crowd.

Mrs. Xi looked at Xi Nuojin's charming face, with a hint of calculation flashing in her eyes.

Everyone in the main hall had their own thoughts.

-

The Emperor's Banquet took place on New Year's Eve in the forty-eighth year, which was the first New Year after Emperor Heng ascended the throne.

As soon as the New Year Palace Banquet was over, Di Heng left the palace and rushed to Xi Mansion.

He wanted to see Xi Nuojin, and heard from Xi Zixuan that Jin'er did not attend the palace banquet today because she was ill. Diheng was worried about her health, and knew that it was not etiquette to break into a woman's boudoir at night, but he still jumped in Xi Mansion.

He walked into the main house of Tangliyuan where she lived with ease. He saw that the house was bright. He was a little confused, so he climbed through the window and came in. Before he could say anything, Xi Nuojin threw herself into his arms and hugged him. he.

"Brother Yun Dan, you are here!"

Di Heng also hugged the soft beauty in his arms tightly: "Jin'er, how is your health? Have you taken any medicine?"

Xi Nuojin leaned in his arms: "I'm much better now. Brother Yun Dan, don't worry. I took the medicine on time today."

"That's good."

Di Heng carried Xi Nujin back to the bed, wrapped her in a quilt, and brought the charcoal basin closer to her.

Di Heng took out a red seal from his sleeve and handed it to her. Inside were ten 10,000 taels of silver notes: "Give Jin'er lucky money."

He put it under her pillow.

On New Year's Eve, the two people in the room talked a lot, but no one mentioned the night in Yuan County when Di Heng confessed his identity to her, when Xi Nujin fell asleep, and whether she heard what he said. thing.

At the beginning of spring in March, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the imperial edict for the draft of the harem was issued.
