fierce fox
Work related
All the scholars died under the sharp spear of the aunt's vanguard. When the news spread to Beijing, the court was in an uproar.
At that time, Wu Nazi and the others were still young, and they didn't know that his grandfather was actually a victim of political struggle. They only knew that his grandfather died at the hands of his aunt, so they hated his aunt passionately.
What's more, he has been brought back to Jingzhong since he was a child to be born and raised. He is afraid of falling in his hands, and afraid of melting in his mouth. He hasn't been blown by the frontier wind for a long time. I have never been exposed to the cruelty of war and the desolation of the mountains and seas of corpses.
Such a well-clothed and well-fed man has grown into a soft bone with a greasy head, and he has long since lost the shadow of the bloody family of generals.He hangs around Fireworks and Willow Lane all day long for fun, if he is asked to lead soldiers to fight now, he is sure to be the first one to take the lead.
Therefore, he was criticized by many fathers and ridiculed by his brothers.
Although he himself knows that he is a bit useless, his writing is not as good as those of the civil servants, and his martial arts is not as good as those of the sons of generals. Last time he was publicly taught by the daughter of General Zuo on the street. I just fell in love with him. Does the newly arrived geisha in the Peony Building want to take it away?What kind of limelight does that vicious woman give to these people in the brothel?
But just relying on... relying on being better than me in martial arts, he didn't give me any face, and even snatched my saber away, so why don't you say it's not an example, bah!
Thinking of these makes me angry, and I really want to find someone to beat me up.He gritted his teeth with hatred.
I can finally vent my anger today.
I really am the chosen one, God will give me whatever I want.
He looked at the pale-faced Lin Xu and sneered: "Hmph, isn't this the third prince of the Gushi Kingdom? Why, it turns out that the son of my defeated general is so useless that he can't even walk?"
No wonder people are sent here to seek protection, otherwise they may die at the mouth of wild wolves someday. "
After saying that, he laughed out loud, and the depression that had been suppressed for a long time seemed to dissipate.
Lin Huaiyi was quite shocked.Even if Wu Nazi has climbed the big tree of the second prince in the past few years, who gave him the courage to directly challenge his aunt, and besides, he, King Yucheng, is still standing here. Is it filled with soy milk?
He looked at Lin Xu in his arms, and found that his complexion seemed to be getting worse, so he didn't want to talk to the fool, raised his eyes and said, "Good dogs don't get in the way."
This is really stepping on the tail of this good dog who is in the midst of the sky. He didn't think much of this King Yucheng who had no father, mother and no backer. It was rumored that the position of prince was given to him by the emperor. I recognized him as a father, but after receiving the imperial edict, he ran to become a monk. How could this person have the confidence to challenge him?
With a hot head, he said sourly: "Isn't this King Yucheng? Why, I heard that the general's mansion is almost becoming a haunted house. If you don't clean the cobwebs, you are out to meddle in your own business?"
How could a man's mouth be so broken?
Lin Huaiyi was a little impatient, and replied: "Naturally, it can't compare to the excitement of someone moving the whole brothel back home. Seeing General Wu's sloppy footsteps and dark circles, those concubines should be all beautiful.
There are still some medicinal materials in my mansion, why not find someone to deliver them to the Guerrilla General's mansion today. "
The fact that Mr. Wu's son was beaten up in the street by the daughter of General Gongsun's family because of his lust is still an interesting story that people in the streets and alleys talk about.
A certain fox is under the tutelage of the world's No. [-] cannon king, and has never lost a war of words.
"you……"
"Enough, the palace is important, is it for you to make a noise?" The two followed the sound and found a person in a Shi Qing court coat walking towards them.
The fourth prince, Mo Yunji.
Mo Yunji has a gentle personality, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as a gentleman. He knows how to advance and retreat, and is modest. He likes to read, and his every gesture reveals a gentle bookishness, but he is indeed weaker than other princes who are good at martial arts. .
I probably also know that my shortcomings are too obvious, so all these years I have only been conscientiously handling government affairs for the emperor, without the slightest act or thought of presumptuousness.
Although he is not a suitable candidate for the crown prince, the emperor still trusts him in government affairs.
At this time, he should have just finished discussing political affairs in the imperial study, and came to check on the news that Mrs. Xu had fainted, and ended up at the scene of a fight.
"Ah Yi, you're not too young. Your father asked you to go to the court and you refused to listen to the government. Why did you come here to make trouble." What kind of quarrel did this brat have with Ah Dou, whom the Wu family couldn't support.
At this time, he also saw the person in Lin Huaiyi's arms clearly, and Mo Yunji frowned slightly.
"Is this the proton of Gu Shiguo? I have heard that this person is in poor health, but I didn't expect to be so weak."
If the prince Gu Shi gets sick in Beijing, it is considered that they, the hosts, have not taken good care of them.
"I'll send some deer antler and ginseng to his mansion later, you can take him back first. Remember to make amends to Master Xu when you have time, you are not young, you need to know some etiquette." Mo Yunji said.
"I was rude. I will come to Master Xu's place to make amends someday. I would like to thank the fourth prince first." Lin Huaiyi didn't want to stay, and left without caring about his eloquent retort as usual.
Wu Nazi was a little panicked secretly, seeing that the fourth prince's attitude towards King Yucheng was rather familiar, although he was teaching him a lesson, he seemed like a real big brother.What he said to King Yucheng was like a light caress for him, which seemed to be three points softer than his usual gentle manner.
Mo Yunji's gaze followed Lin Huaiyi out of the door before moving back, as if he just saw Wu Nazi, and asked politely as usual: "Mr. Wu is not leaving, do you want to spend more time in the sun?"
Even if he didn't pay attention, he could tell that this was a blatant eviction order, so he ran away with his tail between his legs.
After the two were sent away, the clarity on the fourth prince's face disappeared, leaving only endless worry.
The Wu family should have been prompted by the second brother Huang to provoke the aunt so unscrupulously. The emperor's desire for merit is too eager.Now how much is the national treasury, how much does he know about the size of the army, just like this every day, shouting and fighting, causing headaches...
But when did Yi meet the little prince of Gushi Kingdom?This person who never showed his face made trouble at the school for the first time, which is really not worrying.
Mo Yunji has always been good at being careful, and of course he thinks a lot. He always feels that there is something vaguely wrong, but he is entangled in trivial matters and doesn't care to think about it, so he walks quickly to Jingwei Hall.
……
Proton House
Lin Huaiyi gently put Lin Xu on the bed, wiped off the cold sweat from his temples, and reached out to touch his forehead, but there was no fever.Help him tuck the quilt up, then turn around and tell the old housekeeper who was jumping anxiously behind him: "Uncle Liu, there are some medicinal materials and deer glue in the general's mansion, just go and get them, just say that I let you, and then ask someone to leave my study room." Bring that tiger-skin blanket with you too."
"Hey, I'm going now, old slave." Uncle Liu hurriedly responded.Fearing that the little master would catch a cold and light a basin of charcoal, he closed the door and ran away.
The footsteps gradually faded away, and only the slight breathing of the two remained in the gradually warming room.
The people by the fireside are like the moon, and the bright wrists are covered with frost and snow.
Today's Lin Xu is young, his body is not fully grown, his bones are slightly thin, his face is also a little green, and his lips are habitually pursed into a line, revealing the stubbornness in his master's bones.
His eyebrows, his eyes, his slightly trembling eyelashes, the tear mole in his eyes... everything was so familiar that it made him palpitate.
When he and Lin Yiqing were together more than ten years ago, he was just a semi-spiritual creature who could walk with people by smelling it. .
Just because he felt that the man was not only good-looking but also fragrant, and his arms were wide and warm, holding him in his arms gave him a strange feeling that he had never had before.
Lin Huaiyi's hand followed his line of sight to draw the outline of Lin Xu, and it was so close to his face that he could feel the fine fluff on his face.
The bridge of his nose, his lips...
Seeing this, Lin Huaiyi couldn't take his eyes off. His fingers rested on Lin Xuweifen's lips, as if possessed by a demon, and tapped gently, gently.
Lin Xu, whose consciousness was in confusion, felt as if something had touched him. It was slightly cool, like the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by his mother. It was crystal clear, ice-cold, sweet and delicious.Subconsciously, he had already regarded the fingers on his lips as the long-missed osmanthus cake, so he couldn't help sticking out his tongue to lick it and took a sip.
With this sip, Lin Huaiyi felt that the string in his heart snapped with a "snap".
The left hand that was originally supporting Lin Xu's side suddenly grasped the edge of the bed, and the nails suddenly grew longer, nailing them firmly into the bed board.
With blood in his eyes, he stroked Lin Xu's neck with his right hand, and lowered his head to kiss the person who was thinking about it...
Ten years of depression and remorse gathered into tears and fell on Lin Xu's sleeping face below.
The monstrous hatred that cannot be revealed, the powerlessness of not being able to kill the enemy, the pain of wanting to bite oneself to death when the old wound of God's punishment recurs, all suddenly collapsed into pieces at this moment, scattered scattered on the ground.
I once tasted the most intoxicating sweetness in the world from this person, and I was also subjected to the most severe punishment in the Three Realms for him. It was he who taught me how to write and how to be a human being, but it was he who made me taste the saddest suffering in the world. The most piercing pain.
Before jumping into the river of oblivion, I turned around and locked all my violent thoughts in that eye, and all my thoughts of dying together were locked in that eye. From then on, my life was dead, and I was suffering every day of my life.
but he is here now
"I want him, it's mine."
The author has something to say: the first emperor → the first emperor → the present.
☆、Chapter 5
Lin Xu had some scattered and grotesque dreams, the pictures were a little blurry, and the sound of the thin rope was sometimes close at hand, and sometimes far away in the sky.
He seemed to see what he would look like a few years later, soaking in a hot spring in the mountains, a little white fox poking his head took away his clothes and ran fast.
It was also as if he saw the fox biting his shoulder just now, gulping blood and refusing to sip, and was slapped by his palm and flew to the wall, standing tremblingly in the corner pretending to be pitiful.
This fox seems to be very sticky to him, and he can't drive him away in the wind and rain, because he humiliated his power and humiliated the country with a joke, and turned into a human form, just to follow him, reluctantly called him foster father, with a ruthless face unwilling.The round face is like a puffy little bun.
He saw himself picking up the little fox and sitting on a wooden chair, holding a pen in his hand and teaching him to write letters of benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom, telling him about the ups and downs of the previous dynasty, the way of being a human being, and the virtue of carrying things.I also saw that the little fox likes to go to the bookshelf to peek at his collection of books, pointing to the ancient scrolls and asking him what he wants, what does Wumei Sifu mean.
He saw himself in the dream doing bad things deliberately, relying on the thousand cups he practiced in the barracks to not get drunk, poured nearly a bucket of rice wine, and then cut a few holes to lure the little fox.The little thing had no backbone and fell into his trap, fell asleep without a few sips, and didn't wake up for three days.
It was only later that on a thunderstorm night, the fox seemed to have gone mad, and rushed out of the room with bloodshot eyes, and killed a group of people dressed as assassins. .
It was also at this time that dozens of thunderbolts fell from the sky, and all of them landed on the blood-stained foxes in the yard. The foxes were next to each other, and listening to the gradually weakening wailing, he couldn't tell whether it was the person in the dream or the fox. The one who was dreaming felt like a knife stabbing his heart.
Seeing himself in the dream as if he was seriously injured, he crawled step by step to the unconscious fox, hugged it to his chest, and cried loudly.I couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears on my face.
The scene turned to a frontier mountain road again, with the sound of killing everywhere, most of his soldiers were killed in battle, he rushed out of the encirclement by protecting the carriage in which the fox was, and let the leader of the right wing lead the fox to escape from him through the small path.
And then... and then nothing...
The surroundings are as cold as hell, and all the pictures recede, leaving only the little fox laughing and cursing gradually clear, until that face gradually becomes the face I saw when I opened my eyes in the school today, King Yucheng.
With a jolt, he woke up.
Lin Xu, Lin Xu, you are really stunned!After contacting some people, he was not honest in his dreams, and he was secretly annoyed.
After opening his eyes, he suddenly felt warm when he saw Uncle Liu's teary face.
"Wake up? Little master woke up, ouch, you really scared the old slave, ouch..."
He didn't pay attention to what Uncle Liu had to say afterwards, all his sanity just returned was poured on the silent person standing by the bed.
Lin Huaiyi.
He looked at Lin Huaiyi for a moment, trying to find any resemblance between the prince in brocade suit and the fox in his dream.
The two just stared at each other quietly like this, neither of them opened their mouths to speak first, sizing each other up inch by inch in their eyes, keeping them in their hearts bit by bit.
From the corner of her eyes, Lin Xu saw Uncle Liu who was standing there for unknown reasons. He came back to his senses, cleared his throat, and said, "It was the prince who brought me back to the mansion. I have not been in good health recently, so please trouble the prince." , I’m really ashamed. If you don’t mind, I’ll ask Uncle Liu to prepare some small gifts for the prince, it’s not too expensive, it’s just some family specialties, I hope the prince will accept it.”
"Well, it's okay, I'm just helping out. Since Young Master Lin is awake, I will leave first." Lin Huaiyi looked at Lin Xu carefully while speaking.
"So soon... Oh, okay, Uncle Liu, you can send the prince off." Lin Xu reluctantly bit down the words she wanted to keep.He is the dignified prince of Wei, so how could he be willing to stay longer in this proton mansion?
"Hey, my lord, please." Uncle Liu responded.
The two pretended to be polite in a somewhat awkward atmosphere with ulterior motives.
Lin Xu was in a mess: How could I have such a strange dream?Hiss... Why does my mouth hurt a bit, did I hit it when I fell to the ground?Is he leaving now?He... it turned out that he really helped me out.He should be kept for dinner, otherwise wouldn't it be rude to the Proton House?Don't know how to repay a favor?
Lin Huaiyi's heart was also like a hundred birds contending: ah, his mouth was swollen from accidentally exerting too much force...Will he find out...what if he was found out, did he say he knocked it himself?Alas, what can be done.
But judging by his appearance, she didn't seem to notice?Ah... why didn't I find it?It's all swollen...
Oh, let's not find out, no, let's find out...
Lin Huaiyi was led out of the room chattering inwardly, forgetting what he should have said just now.
Walking out of the inner room to the study, the old butler, who was still in tears just now, closed the door, turned around, knelt down to Lin Huaiyi, and kowtowed three times.The force was so great that there was blood on his forehead.
Solemnly said: "The first head of this old slave was kowtowed on behalf of my mother, thanks to General Lin for his kindness in protecting her, so that I escorted my mother to Gushi safely all the way, and escaped many times of pursuit.
The second sound was made by the citizens of Gushi Kingdom. For more than ten years, Xie Wangye has been operating in the capital, guarding this corner of the world for Gushi, so that he will not be afraid of the Central Plains, and he will also be protected from the entry of iron cavalry from the Western Regions. "
This third ringing is for the little master, for the big and small eyeliners and spies that the prince has eliminated for us since we entered the capital, but the situation is going to be dangerous, the old slave is here to beg the prince to take more care!
After finishing speaking, he wanted to kowtow to the ground again, but Lin Huaiyi helped him up.
Lin Huaiyi felt that he deserved such a great gift.
When the younger sister of the Lin family was sent to the Western Regions to get married, he and Lin Yiqing hadn't gotten to know each other well, so naturally he didn't know all the details.
As for Gu Shiguo, it was he who forcibly broke into the underworld, changed his fate against the heavens and changed Brother Ah Xu's identity, so he had to protect him no matter what.
What's more, the aunt and the great Wei are on good terms now. In order to strengthen the allies on the border, the emperor will not harm the relationship between the two countries at present.
But now the turbulent winds and turbulent waves are gradually rising, and the situation is getting more and more complicated, and every step must be taken with extreme caution.
It's time to listen to what the fourth prince said, and the court listened to the government.Lin Huaiyi frowned and thought.
"The situation in the Western Regions has changed a little bit now." Uncle Liu said after getting up, we found out that the Da Yue Clan has secretly connected with the capital, and this person has a high position and authority, it seems to be the current...''
"Second Prince Mo Li." Lin Huaiyi snorted coldly, just had a conflict with one of Mo Li's dogs today.
Uncle Liu was silent for a long while: "My lord, if the Yue clan join forces with the Wei Dynasty, even the Xiongnu will have to be afraid, let alone small countries like us."
"It's beneficial to seek skin from a tiger. What's more, who said that the second prince will be the emperor in the future?"
Mo Li's ambition is bigger than his brain, he inherited the emperor's ruthlessness but not his literary and military strategy.
You can defeat Goryeo and flatten the Xiongnu with your mouth.After leading the troops to fight a few small fights and victorious battles, he began to look higher than the top, feeling that the crown prince must belong to him.
His appetite is so good that he choked to death every time he clamored to dominate the world.
"Uncle Liu, I hope you will tell my aunt, the king and queen, to pay more attention to the movement of the Yue family. If there is any trouble, please find the Longxi county mansion nearby. The county prince is the rear of General Lin. Our people can be used."
"Beijing is full of tigers and wolves. The emperor's attitude towards the frontiers has always been murky. No one can guess his thoughts. Uncle Liu needs to spend more time looking after Xu...cough, the third prince.
If Mo Li really wanted to stir up trouble, there would be two provocative things, but it's easy to hide a hidden arrow and hard to guard against it, so you need to worry more. "
The old butler said solemnly: "Of course, the old slave will willingly sacrifice his life for the little prince. Now the proton is in a difficult situation in Beijing. If possible, I hope the prince will take care of him."
"I know, I will pay more attention."
☆、Chapter 6
Not long after Lin Huaiyi left, the fourth prince Hui Wang Mo Yunji also came.Probably the emperor also heard about Lin Xu's fainting, so he asked Mo Yunji to bring him a lot of medicinal herbs for nourishing qi and blood.
"If you have any inconvenience in your life, you can rest assured that although I am not talented, I can still take care of you."
After all, Mo Yunji was a little different from other politicians in the officialdom. He was polite and sincere, and he brought not only medicinal materials, but also some daily necessities.
He specially called the imperial physician in the palace to take his pulse, but even the well-informed imperial physician wondered why a masculine man would be so weak.
Before you left, everyone gave Lin Xu good advice and gave birth to a child, and prescribed a lot of blood-enriching prescriptions for Uncle Liu to get the medicine on time.
With the imperial physician's golden words, it's all good now. Uncle Liu will not let Lin Xu go out for activities, and will come to check whether he has finished his medicine and whether he is lying in bed to rest.
The doctor's mouth hurt Lin Xu's heart yearning for freedom. He lay on the bed every day like a little lady within a month, so bored that he was about to grow mushrooms.
It's just that since Mo Yunji came to visit, the Proton Mansion, which was originally sparsely populated, has become lively. All kinds of people in the court have come to show their faces, and those who can be named can't be named. Anyway, Lin Xu feels that his face They all laughed a little stiffly.
"It's really tiring." Lin Xu thought a little depressed, "I don't know how my father and brothers can remember so many people and talk to them so much."
Now he seems to be facing delicacies from mountains and seas, but he is thinking about the porridge and mussels in his heart.
The sun is setting and the lanterns are beginning to come on.Lin Xu tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, and couldn't read a word when he got up to read, feeling a little depressed.
In the past five days, officials of all sizes in the capital met once, and the three princes also came, the second prince Su Wang Mo Li, and the third Huai Wang Mo Gong, all came for a tour after Mo Yunji's visit.
Compared with Mo Gong's powerful city mansion and Mo Yunji's gentleness and humility, Mo Li really showed his attitude clearly in the provocations inside and outside the words.
He has always been a radical who supports the struggle, even more than some generals who have come here to eat blood on the battlefield.
However, there are also many followers. After all, he won several battles with Nanman, which made the emperor look at him with admiration in battle.But it is true that some prodigal sons just think about fighting without considering the size of the treasury and military pay.
Moreover, he has always disliked his aunt and always wanted to take over the land.
It was just because Uncle Liu and Lin Xu had been reminded by Lin Huaiyi in advance that Mo Li's punches seemed to hit a ball of soft cotton, and then they felt bored and left.
Of course, even if Lin Xu can't make trouble here, he can make trouble elsewhere.
For the rest, nothing special happened, and the various aristocratic families basically came to send medicinal materials and say some polite words.Anyway, just be more careful in the future.
But these days, people come and go, but there is still no one.
Lin Xu bit the pen holder in distress: "The little prince has never shown his face since he brought him back to the mansion that day. As expected...he just...helped out?"
It is said that the prince seems to have traveled far away these few days, but he has disappeared, and no one has found him.
The bright moon and snow outside made the lonely shadow inside the house slender, and the sadness and loss that filled his heart couldn't help but make the eyes of this frail young man under the fence turn red.
Then there was a knock on the door.
Lin Xu stood up suspiciously, who else would be there at this moment?
When he opened the door, he saw a fluffy white fox leaping into his arms, blinking at him with big eyes.
There is such a lovely thing in this capital?
Lin Xu's heart softened at the sight of it, fearing that Uncle Liu would chase the white fox away if he saw it, so he hurriedly closed the door and carried it back to the desk.
The white fox seemed not to be afraid of life, and rubbed its head against Lin Xu's neck for a while, sniffing there, grabbing Lin Xu's robe and not letting go.
"Little fairy, are you sent by heaven to accompany me when I see that I am lonely?" Lin Xu pinched the white fox's ear and asked with a smile.Most of the lonely mood dissipated just now.
The white fox raised its front foot and slapped Lin Xu's fidgeting hands away, showing that it also has dignity.Then he licked the chin of the person who held him in his arms, and slipped into the bed to wait, with a familiar posture as if he was the master of the room.
Lin Xu is a kind-hearted person. When he sees injured wolf cubs in the hunting grounds of his country, he will help to bandage them. He is often joked by his brothers that he is the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva from the Central Plains. There are a lot of small animals in the yard.
Seeing such a beautiful white fox today, I naturally like it and forget about all the mess.
He went over to tuck the quilt up for the little fox and smoothed its fur. The little fox closed his eyes comfortably and seemed to be asleep.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xu was in no mood to read a book. He closed his eyes when he saw the little creature, because he didn't want his movements to disturb it.He got up and blew out the candles and was about to go to bed and lie down.
But he stood at the head of the bed and thought for a while, then turned around and hugged a quilt and put it on the bed.
After all, my sick body has not yet healed, so it's better not to get too close to it.
But when I looked down at the little fox, I found that it seemed a little unhappy.
Lin Xu:? ? ?
"Woke you up?" Lin Xu was puzzled.
The little fox stared at Lin Xu for a while, then snorted softly, turned his back to him and faced the wall angrily, and ignored him.
Naturally, Lin Xu didn't know where he had provoked this little creature. He wondered for a while, but couldn't figure out why.Then he gave up, and lay down and closed his eyes, stroking the little fox's belly with his hands one after another.
While half asleep and half awake, he thought of a question. This white fox seemed somewhat similar to the one in the dream that day.
But soon, drowsiness swept over him, and he fell asleep in a daze.
It was cool in the middle of the night in early spring, and there was a pleasant rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves outside the house.
Lin Xu, who was half asleep, felt that the little creature next to him abandoned his quilt and sneaked into his bed, rubbing his head against Lin Xu's neck, putting his hands on his chest, and curled up to find it for himself. He continued to sleep in a comfortable position, with a tail gently wrapped around Lin Xu's leg.
Lin Xu smiled confusedly, and patted the little fox's head familiarly as if he had done it thousands of times. He put his arms on the fox's back, and hugged the fluffy ball towards him. Close to the chest, it feels warm and soft.
In the quiet night, you can hear the steady heartbeat of the other party.
I will make up for you in the future.The little fox heard the man in the green robe say this to him in the dream.
a good night's sleep
……
Lin Xu couldn't remember how long it had been since he had such a good night's sleep. Since he came to the capital, perhaps because of aggravated thoughts, he often had nightmares over and over again. .
His whole body smelled like medicine soaked in a jar of medicine, which made him keep three steps away from others knowingly.
I don't know if the little fox was affected by the smell of his medicine.
Only then did he realize that his chest was empty.
have they gone?Or, is this actually a dream?Lin Xu, who was short of energy and blood, would faint for a while every time he woke up. If he hadn't seen a quilt beside him, he would really have thought that last night's adventure was a dream.
It should be gone, such a spirit fox, perhaps some fairy came to the world to practice.He thought about it wildly, put on his clothes and went out to practice.
☆、Chapter 7
Uncle Liu went out to get the medicine before dawn as usual, and since he got the prescription from the imperial physician, the old housekeeper became more diligent and worked hard to make the medicine well.
It's no wonder that among so many people, Lin Selist singled out Uncle Liu to follow Lin Xu to Beijing.
Lin Xu planned to go to the kitchen to warm up a bowl of rice porridge after practicing as usual, when the boy at the door hurried in to announce that King Yucheng was coming.
"Who? King Yucheng?" Did he come back from outside?
This... I haven't cleaned up yet, I haven't changed my practice clothes, I'm still sweating, I haven't tied my hair, I haven't...
Lin Xu was thinking wildly, and stammered to the boy, "Then invite him in and let him wait for me for a while, and I'll clean up."
The boy responded and went to entertain the prince outside the house.
Surprised and delighted, Lin Xu packed hot water and took it to the back room to wash. When she looked in the bronze mirror, she realized that her ears were completely red.He really couldn't figure out why he was the only one who couldn't forget this person.
Lin Xu dawdled for a while and waited for the temperature on his face to cool down before tidying up his clothes and leaving the room.
I saw Lin Huaiyi sitting in the front hall contentedly, with two delicate porcelain bowls in front of the table, filled with crystal clear peach jelly soup.
Seeing him coming out, he waved to him: "Young master, I brought you breakfast, come and eat while it's hot."
Lin Xu walked over with one hand and one foot, held up the bowl and stayed for a while, then asked, "My lord...are you bringing me some breakfast on purpose?"
Lin Huaiyi looked at Lin Xu's reddish ears and smiled and said, "I've got too much gluttony, and I happened to be going to visit the young master at the mansion today, so I brought it here. How does it taste?"
Lin Xu only felt that the peach jelly soup in the bowl had a delicate fragrance and was slightly chewy in the mouth. It was much tastier than cooking it himself, so he couldn't help but sincerely praised: "It's delicious, the master's craftsmanship is really..."
At this point, he suddenly realized how a prince could cook breakfast by himself, and he was not a deserted proton in his mansion, so he changed his words and said: "It's really enviable to have such a kind and caring person serving the prince. .”
Lin Huaiyi felt a little embarrassed, but still planned to explain: "I didn't..."
At this time, his voice was disturbed by the sound of messy footsteps outside. Uncle Liu staggered and pushed the door in, holding a bundle of herbs in his arms, and fell to the ground as soon as he crossed the threshold. Not coming.
The commoner clothes on his body were cut open many times, blood dripped out, and his face was bruised and swollen.
The young servant in the house went over to help Uncle Liu in shock, and Lin Xu hurried over to check on Uncle Liu's injuries.
When Lin Huaiyi saw Uncle Liu's appearance, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he had already thought about it. He nodded towards the courtyard wall, and Lingqu jumped out.
He was guarding the wall just now, and no one in the whole mansion noticed it, which shows that this person's martial arts skills are really superb.
The servant in the mansion helped Uncle Liu to the bed, applied the wound medicine, and gulped several mouthfuls of the medicine. After a long time, Uncle Liu gradually recovered.
Lin Xu asked anxiously, "Uncle Liu, what happened and who injured you so far."
Uncle Liu coughed for a while, then sighed, "It's okay, I was in a hurry to grab the medicine, and I asked for the last Ganoderma lucidum from the medicine shop, but the person behind asked me to give it to him, but I refused, so I started fighting.
My martial arts are not as good as others, and with this old bone, my legs and feet are still good, so I ran back quickly. Don't worry, young master, as long as the medicine is bought, it will be fine.The old slave... I will decoct the medicine for the young master later. "
After speaking, he coughed for a long while.
For the first time, Lin Xu clenched his fists in his robe, his youthful nature made him unable to swallow this breath.
He naturally knew what happened.
Since entering Beijing, he has kept in mind the teachings of his father and queen mother, that peace is the most important thing in all things, and he should be a low-key person. Of course, he has experienced a lot of cynicism for so long, but he has endured it all.
Why do we avoid being bullied everywhere?
Sour and unbearable dissatisfaction surged in the thin chest of the young man who had read a lot of poetry and books.
People in the Northwest drink rice wine and eat wolf meat. Strength is a trait engraved in their bones and blood. Even a gentle person like Lin Xu has an indomitable temperament and cannot stand being humiliated like this.
Seeing Lin Xu's expression from the side, Lin Huaiyi naturally understood what he was thinking, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Lingqu has already gone to find out what happened, wait for him to come back, and leave it to me. "
He held down the old butler who was struggling to get up and said, "Uncle Liu, don't get up too. I'll ask someone to help me decoct the medicine, so you can rest."
After helping Uncle Liu settle down, he left and returned to the mansion.
Lingqu was already waiting for him in the mansion.
"My lord, it was done by the servants of Wu's family. They probably have been staying for a long time. They know when Uncle Liu will go to which medicinal shop to grab what kind of medicine. Today, the Ganoderma lucidum shop is originally a medicinal shop under the management of the Wu family. Taking advantage of being in his own shop, he unscrupulously moved his hands..."
"It seems that they have been holding back for so long, and now they can't bear it anymore."
狐狸舔了舔唇心里暗道:“我也真是憋了许久,快要控制不住这双要揍人的手了。”眼睛里微光一闪而过。
Lingqu suddenly shuddered.
What does this little ancestor want to do.
……
The land of smoked willows, peony garden.
"Drink! Have a good time today, drink, put all the wine on my account, everyone open your belly to drink!"
Wu Nazi sat in the box with a shiny face and greeted everyone, Meiniang on the left squeezed his shoulders and Tweety on the right poured wine for him.
He was very happy today. After he found someone to beat up the old man in the Proton Mansion, the second prince rewarded him with a lot of gold and silver, so he coaxed the dog to wag its tail and bark.
"This official," Mei Niang said delicately, leaning on Wu Nazi, "it just so happens that Jingwen, the famous flower queen in the south of the Yangtze River, was invited to my place to teach the little sisters how to play the piano. How many songs do you play? I guarantee that the official will not be disappointed."
Wu Nazi sneered disapprovingly, "Those in Jiangnan have thin arms and legs, poked there like a bamboo pole, how can you be so romantic."
Wu Nazi pinched Mei Niang's slender waist, making her tremble wildly.
"But since you're all here, let's call, the oiran from Jiangnan? I'm also opening my eyes today."
The boy at the door responded and ran to call for someone.
After a while, I saw a girl wearing a plain long gown. Although her cleanliness was a bit eye-catching, it made people feel that she was as pretty as a peach in spring, and as green as a chrysanthemum in autumn. With a fringed belt, a slender waist that can be easily grasped, a long and slender figure, and a light veil covering the face, she came over and bowed to the people in the room, with slender eyebrows and almond eyes, she didn't talk much, and sat down on the piano platform quietly.
Touching the strings lightly, the timbre flowed, and just a few tones had already made the people at the wine table hold their breath.
"Tianlai Qiongyin" flashed through the minds of all the people present, the beauty is pleasing to the eye, and the timbre is pleasing to the ear.It is rare in the world.
Under the moonlight, the veil was blown by the breeze, and the face that was revealed was like a fairy, and the whole body was covered with a layer of light smoke and mist, which seemed real and unreal.
The people in the whole room didn't make any movement, they were fascinated and seemed to be stupefied.
After the song was over, the woman didn't linger much, she nodded lightly and left by herself.
The sound of closing the door woke the person at the table back up.
Everyone seemed to be walking in a dream. There was such a fairy-like person in the world. The sound of the piano was cold and the smile was shallow, just like the person from the Moon Palace who descended to earth.
Nazi licked
At that time, Wu Nazi and the others were still young, and they didn't know that his grandfather was actually a victim of political struggle. They only knew that his grandfather died at the hands of his aunt, so they hated his aunt passionately.
What's more, he has been brought back to Jingzhong since he was a child to be born and raised. He is afraid of falling in his hands, and afraid of melting in his mouth. He hasn't been blown by the frontier wind for a long time. I have never been exposed to the cruelty of war and the desolation of the mountains and seas of corpses.
Such a well-clothed and well-fed man has grown into a soft bone with a greasy head, and he has long since lost the shadow of the bloody family of generals.He hangs around Fireworks and Willow Lane all day long for fun, if he is asked to lead soldiers to fight now, he is sure to be the first one to take the lead.
Therefore, he was criticized by many fathers and ridiculed by his brothers.
Although he himself knows that he is a bit useless, his writing is not as good as those of the civil servants, and his martial arts is not as good as those of the sons of generals. Last time he was publicly taught by the daughter of General Zuo on the street. I just fell in love with him. Does the newly arrived geisha in the Peony Building want to take it away?What kind of limelight does that vicious woman give to these people in the brothel?
But just relying on... relying on being better than me in martial arts, he didn't give me any face, and even snatched my saber away, so why don't you say it's not an example, bah!
Thinking of these makes me angry, and I really want to find someone to beat me up.He gritted his teeth with hatred.
I can finally vent my anger today.
I really am the chosen one, God will give me whatever I want.
He looked at the pale-faced Lin Xu and sneered: "Hmph, isn't this the third prince of the Gushi Kingdom? Why, it turns out that the son of my defeated general is so useless that he can't even walk?"
No wonder people are sent here to seek protection, otherwise they may die at the mouth of wild wolves someday. "
After saying that, he laughed out loud, and the depression that had been suppressed for a long time seemed to dissipate.
Lin Huaiyi was quite shocked.Even if Wu Nazi has climbed the big tree of the second prince in the past few years, who gave him the courage to directly challenge his aunt, and besides, he, King Yucheng, is still standing here. Is it filled with soy milk?
He looked at Lin Xu in his arms, and found that his complexion seemed to be getting worse, so he didn't want to talk to the fool, raised his eyes and said, "Good dogs don't get in the way."
This is really stepping on the tail of this good dog who is in the midst of the sky. He didn't think much of this King Yucheng who had no father, mother and no backer. It was rumored that the position of prince was given to him by the emperor. I recognized him as a father, but after receiving the imperial edict, he ran to become a monk. How could this person have the confidence to challenge him?
With a hot head, he said sourly: "Isn't this King Yucheng? Why, I heard that the general's mansion is almost becoming a haunted house. If you don't clean the cobwebs, you are out to meddle in your own business?"
How could a man's mouth be so broken?
Lin Huaiyi was a little impatient, and replied: "Naturally, it can't compare to the excitement of someone moving the whole brothel back home. Seeing General Wu's sloppy footsteps and dark circles, those concubines should be all beautiful.
There are still some medicinal materials in my mansion, why not find someone to deliver them to the Guerrilla General's mansion today. "
The fact that Mr. Wu's son was beaten up in the street by the daughter of General Gongsun's family because of his lust is still an interesting story that people in the streets and alleys talk about.
A certain fox is under the tutelage of the world's No. [-] cannon king, and has never lost a war of words.
"you……"
"Enough, the palace is important, is it for you to make a noise?" The two followed the sound and found a person in a Shi Qing court coat walking towards them.
The fourth prince, Mo Yunji.
Mo Yunji has a gentle personality, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as a gentleman. He knows how to advance and retreat, and is modest. He likes to read, and his every gesture reveals a gentle bookishness, but he is indeed weaker than other princes who are good at martial arts. .
I probably also know that my shortcomings are too obvious, so all these years I have only been conscientiously handling government affairs for the emperor, without the slightest act or thought of presumptuousness.
Although he is not a suitable candidate for the crown prince, the emperor still trusts him in government affairs.
At this time, he should have just finished discussing political affairs in the imperial study, and came to check on the news that Mrs. Xu had fainted, and ended up at the scene of a fight.
"Ah Yi, you're not too young. Your father asked you to go to the court and you refused to listen to the government. Why did you come here to make trouble." What kind of quarrel did this brat have with Ah Dou, whom the Wu family couldn't support.
At this time, he also saw the person in Lin Huaiyi's arms clearly, and Mo Yunji frowned slightly.
"Is this the proton of Gu Shiguo? I have heard that this person is in poor health, but I didn't expect to be so weak."
If the prince Gu Shi gets sick in Beijing, it is considered that they, the hosts, have not taken good care of them.
"I'll send some deer antler and ginseng to his mansion later, you can take him back first. Remember to make amends to Master Xu when you have time, you are not young, you need to know some etiquette." Mo Yunji said.
"I was rude. I will come to Master Xu's place to make amends someday. I would like to thank the fourth prince first." Lin Huaiyi didn't want to stay, and left without caring about his eloquent retort as usual.
Wu Nazi was a little panicked secretly, seeing that the fourth prince's attitude towards King Yucheng was rather familiar, although he was teaching him a lesson, he seemed like a real big brother.What he said to King Yucheng was like a light caress for him, which seemed to be three points softer than his usual gentle manner.
Mo Yunji's gaze followed Lin Huaiyi out of the door before moving back, as if he just saw Wu Nazi, and asked politely as usual: "Mr. Wu is not leaving, do you want to spend more time in the sun?"
Even if he didn't pay attention, he could tell that this was a blatant eviction order, so he ran away with his tail between his legs.
After the two were sent away, the clarity on the fourth prince's face disappeared, leaving only endless worry.
The Wu family should have been prompted by the second brother Huang to provoke the aunt so unscrupulously. The emperor's desire for merit is too eager.Now how much is the national treasury, how much does he know about the size of the army, just like this every day, shouting and fighting, causing headaches...
But when did Yi meet the little prince of Gushi Kingdom?This person who never showed his face made trouble at the school for the first time, which is really not worrying.
Mo Yunji has always been good at being careful, and of course he thinks a lot. He always feels that there is something vaguely wrong, but he is entangled in trivial matters and doesn't care to think about it, so he walks quickly to Jingwei Hall.
……
Proton House
Lin Huaiyi gently put Lin Xu on the bed, wiped off the cold sweat from his temples, and reached out to touch his forehead, but there was no fever.Help him tuck the quilt up, then turn around and tell the old housekeeper who was jumping anxiously behind him: "Uncle Liu, there are some medicinal materials and deer glue in the general's mansion, just go and get them, just say that I let you, and then ask someone to leave my study room." Bring that tiger-skin blanket with you too."
"Hey, I'm going now, old slave." Uncle Liu hurriedly responded.Fearing that the little master would catch a cold and light a basin of charcoal, he closed the door and ran away.
The footsteps gradually faded away, and only the slight breathing of the two remained in the gradually warming room.
The people by the fireside are like the moon, and the bright wrists are covered with frost and snow.
Today's Lin Xu is young, his body is not fully grown, his bones are slightly thin, his face is also a little green, and his lips are habitually pursed into a line, revealing the stubbornness in his master's bones.
His eyebrows, his eyes, his slightly trembling eyelashes, the tear mole in his eyes... everything was so familiar that it made him palpitate.
When he and Lin Yiqing were together more than ten years ago, he was just a semi-spiritual creature who could walk with people by smelling it. .
Just because he felt that the man was not only good-looking but also fragrant, and his arms were wide and warm, holding him in his arms gave him a strange feeling that he had never had before.
Lin Huaiyi's hand followed his line of sight to draw the outline of Lin Xu, and it was so close to his face that he could feel the fine fluff on his face.
The bridge of his nose, his lips...
Seeing this, Lin Huaiyi couldn't take his eyes off. His fingers rested on Lin Xuweifen's lips, as if possessed by a demon, and tapped gently, gently.
Lin Xu, whose consciousness was in confusion, felt as if something had touched him. It was slightly cool, like the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by his mother. It was crystal clear, ice-cold, sweet and delicious.Subconsciously, he had already regarded the fingers on his lips as the long-missed osmanthus cake, so he couldn't help sticking out his tongue to lick it and took a sip.
With this sip, Lin Huaiyi felt that the string in his heart snapped with a "snap".
The left hand that was originally supporting Lin Xu's side suddenly grasped the edge of the bed, and the nails suddenly grew longer, nailing them firmly into the bed board.
With blood in his eyes, he stroked Lin Xu's neck with his right hand, and lowered his head to kiss the person who was thinking about it...
Ten years of depression and remorse gathered into tears and fell on Lin Xu's sleeping face below.
The monstrous hatred that cannot be revealed, the powerlessness of not being able to kill the enemy, the pain of wanting to bite oneself to death when the old wound of God's punishment recurs, all suddenly collapsed into pieces at this moment, scattered scattered on the ground.
I once tasted the most intoxicating sweetness in the world from this person, and I was also subjected to the most severe punishment in the Three Realms for him. It was he who taught me how to write and how to be a human being, but it was he who made me taste the saddest suffering in the world. The most piercing pain.
Before jumping into the river of oblivion, I turned around and locked all my violent thoughts in that eye, and all my thoughts of dying together were locked in that eye. From then on, my life was dead, and I was suffering every day of my life.
but he is here now
"I want him, it's mine."
The author has something to say: the first emperor → the first emperor → the present.
☆、Chapter 5
Lin Xu had some scattered and grotesque dreams, the pictures were a little blurry, and the sound of the thin rope was sometimes close at hand, and sometimes far away in the sky.
He seemed to see what he would look like a few years later, soaking in a hot spring in the mountains, a little white fox poking his head took away his clothes and ran fast.
It was also as if he saw the fox biting his shoulder just now, gulping blood and refusing to sip, and was slapped by his palm and flew to the wall, standing tremblingly in the corner pretending to be pitiful.
This fox seems to be very sticky to him, and he can't drive him away in the wind and rain, because he humiliated his power and humiliated the country with a joke, and turned into a human form, just to follow him, reluctantly called him foster father, with a ruthless face unwilling.The round face is like a puffy little bun.
He saw himself picking up the little fox and sitting on a wooden chair, holding a pen in his hand and teaching him to write letters of benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom, telling him about the ups and downs of the previous dynasty, the way of being a human being, and the virtue of carrying things.I also saw that the little fox likes to go to the bookshelf to peek at his collection of books, pointing to the ancient scrolls and asking him what he wants, what does Wumei Sifu mean.
He saw himself in the dream doing bad things deliberately, relying on the thousand cups he practiced in the barracks to not get drunk, poured nearly a bucket of rice wine, and then cut a few holes to lure the little fox.The little thing had no backbone and fell into his trap, fell asleep without a few sips, and didn't wake up for three days.
It was only later that on a thunderstorm night, the fox seemed to have gone mad, and rushed out of the room with bloodshot eyes, and killed a group of people dressed as assassins. .
It was also at this time that dozens of thunderbolts fell from the sky, and all of them landed on the blood-stained foxes in the yard. The foxes were next to each other, and listening to the gradually weakening wailing, he couldn't tell whether it was the person in the dream or the fox. The one who was dreaming felt like a knife stabbing his heart.
Seeing himself in the dream as if he was seriously injured, he crawled step by step to the unconscious fox, hugged it to his chest, and cried loudly.I couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears on my face.
The scene turned to a frontier mountain road again, with the sound of killing everywhere, most of his soldiers were killed in battle, he rushed out of the encirclement by protecting the carriage in which the fox was, and let the leader of the right wing lead the fox to escape from him through the small path.
And then... and then nothing...
The surroundings are as cold as hell, and all the pictures recede, leaving only the little fox laughing and cursing gradually clear, until that face gradually becomes the face I saw when I opened my eyes in the school today, King Yucheng.
With a jolt, he woke up.
Lin Xu, Lin Xu, you are really stunned!After contacting some people, he was not honest in his dreams, and he was secretly annoyed.
After opening his eyes, he suddenly felt warm when he saw Uncle Liu's teary face.
"Wake up? Little master woke up, ouch, you really scared the old slave, ouch..."
He didn't pay attention to what Uncle Liu had to say afterwards, all his sanity just returned was poured on the silent person standing by the bed.
Lin Huaiyi.
He looked at Lin Huaiyi for a moment, trying to find any resemblance between the prince in brocade suit and the fox in his dream.
The two just stared at each other quietly like this, neither of them opened their mouths to speak first, sizing each other up inch by inch in their eyes, keeping them in their hearts bit by bit.
From the corner of her eyes, Lin Xu saw Uncle Liu who was standing there for unknown reasons. He came back to his senses, cleared his throat, and said, "It was the prince who brought me back to the mansion. I have not been in good health recently, so please trouble the prince." , I’m really ashamed. If you don’t mind, I’ll ask Uncle Liu to prepare some small gifts for the prince, it’s not too expensive, it’s just some family specialties, I hope the prince will accept it.”
"Well, it's okay, I'm just helping out. Since Young Master Lin is awake, I will leave first." Lin Huaiyi looked at Lin Xu carefully while speaking.
"So soon... Oh, okay, Uncle Liu, you can send the prince off." Lin Xu reluctantly bit down the words she wanted to keep.He is the dignified prince of Wei, so how could he be willing to stay longer in this proton mansion?
"Hey, my lord, please." Uncle Liu responded.
The two pretended to be polite in a somewhat awkward atmosphere with ulterior motives.
Lin Xu was in a mess: How could I have such a strange dream?Hiss... Why does my mouth hurt a bit, did I hit it when I fell to the ground?Is he leaving now?He... it turned out that he really helped me out.He should be kept for dinner, otherwise wouldn't it be rude to the Proton House?Don't know how to repay a favor?
Lin Huaiyi's heart was also like a hundred birds contending: ah, his mouth was swollen from accidentally exerting too much force...Will he find out...what if he was found out, did he say he knocked it himself?Alas, what can be done.
But judging by his appearance, she didn't seem to notice?Ah... why didn't I find it?It's all swollen...
Oh, let's not find out, no, let's find out...
Lin Huaiyi was led out of the room chattering inwardly, forgetting what he should have said just now.
Walking out of the inner room to the study, the old butler, who was still in tears just now, closed the door, turned around, knelt down to Lin Huaiyi, and kowtowed three times.The force was so great that there was blood on his forehead.
Solemnly said: "The first head of this old slave was kowtowed on behalf of my mother, thanks to General Lin for his kindness in protecting her, so that I escorted my mother to Gushi safely all the way, and escaped many times of pursuit.
The second sound was made by the citizens of Gushi Kingdom. For more than ten years, Xie Wangye has been operating in the capital, guarding this corner of the world for Gushi, so that he will not be afraid of the Central Plains, and he will also be protected from the entry of iron cavalry from the Western Regions. "
This third ringing is for the little master, for the big and small eyeliners and spies that the prince has eliminated for us since we entered the capital, but the situation is going to be dangerous, the old slave is here to beg the prince to take more care!
After finishing speaking, he wanted to kowtow to the ground again, but Lin Huaiyi helped him up.
Lin Huaiyi felt that he deserved such a great gift.
When the younger sister of the Lin family was sent to the Western Regions to get married, he and Lin Yiqing hadn't gotten to know each other well, so naturally he didn't know all the details.
As for Gu Shiguo, it was he who forcibly broke into the underworld, changed his fate against the heavens and changed Brother Ah Xu's identity, so he had to protect him no matter what.
What's more, the aunt and the great Wei are on good terms now. In order to strengthen the allies on the border, the emperor will not harm the relationship between the two countries at present.
But now the turbulent winds and turbulent waves are gradually rising, and the situation is getting more and more complicated, and every step must be taken with extreme caution.
It's time to listen to what the fourth prince said, and the court listened to the government.Lin Huaiyi frowned and thought.
"The situation in the Western Regions has changed a little bit now." Uncle Liu said after getting up, we found out that the Da Yue Clan has secretly connected with the capital, and this person has a high position and authority, it seems to be the current...''
"Second Prince Mo Li." Lin Huaiyi snorted coldly, just had a conflict with one of Mo Li's dogs today.
Uncle Liu was silent for a long while: "My lord, if the Yue clan join forces with the Wei Dynasty, even the Xiongnu will have to be afraid, let alone small countries like us."
"It's beneficial to seek skin from a tiger. What's more, who said that the second prince will be the emperor in the future?"
Mo Li's ambition is bigger than his brain, he inherited the emperor's ruthlessness but not his literary and military strategy.
You can defeat Goryeo and flatten the Xiongnu with your mouth.After leading the troops to fight a few small fights and victorious battles, he began to look higher than the top, feeling that the crown prince must belong to him.
His appetite is so good that he choked to death every time he clamored to dominate the world.
"Uncle Liu, I hope you will tell my aunt, the king and queen, to pay more attention to the movement of the Yue family. If there is any trouble, please find the Longxi county mansion nearby. The county prince is the rear of General Lin. Our people can be used."
"Beijing is full of tigers and wolves. The emperor's attitude towards the frontiers has always been murky. No one can guess his thoughts. Uncle Liu needs to spend more time looking after Xu...cough, the third prince.
If Mo Li really wanted to stir up trouble, there would be two provocative things, but it's easy to hide a hidden arrow and hard to guard against it, so you need to worry more. "
The old butler said solemnly: "Of course, the old slave will willingly sacrifice his life for the little prince. Now the proton is in a difficult situation in Beijing. If possible, I hope the prince will take care of him."
"I know, I will pay more attention."
☆、Chapter 6
Not long after Lin Huaiyi left, the fourth prince Hui Wang Mo Yunji also came.Probably the emperor also heard about Lin Xu's fainting, so he asked Mo Yunji to bring him a lot of medicinal herbs for nourishing qi and blood.
"If you have any inconvenience in your life, you can rest assured that although I am not talented, I can still take care of you."
After all, Mo Yunji was a little different from other politicians in the officialdom. He was polite and sincere, and he brought not only medicinal materials, but also some daily necessities.
He specially called the imperial physician in the palace to take his pulse, but even the well-informed imperial physician wondered why a masculine man would be so weak.
Before you left, everyone gave Lin Xu good advice and gave birth to a child, and prescribed a lot of blood-enriching prescriptions for Uncle Liu to get the medicine on time.
With the imperial physician's golden words, it's all good now. Uncle Liu will not let Lin Xu go out for activities, and will come to check whether he has finished his medicine and whether he is lying in bed to rest.
The doctor's mouth hurt Lin Xu's heart yearning for freedom. He lay on the bed every day like a little lady within a month, so bored that he was about to grow mushrooms.
It's just that since Mo Yunji came to visit, the Proton Mansion, which was originally sparsely populated, has become lively. All kinds of people in the court have come to show their faces, and those who can be named can't be named. Anyway, Lin Xu feels that his face They all laughed a little stiffly.
"It's really tiring." Lin Xu thought a little depressed, "I don't know how my father and brothers can remember so many people and talk to them so much."
Now he seems to be facing delicacies from mountains and seas, but he is thinking about the porridge and mussels in his heart.
The sun is setting and the lanterns are beginning to come on.Lin Xu tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, and couldn't read a word when he got up to read, feeling a little depressed.
In the past five days, officials of all sizes in the capital met once, and the three princes also came, the second prince Su Wang Mo Li, and the third Huai Wang Mo Gong, all came for a tour after Mo Yunji's visit.
Compared with Mo Gong's powerful city mansion and Mo Yunji's gentleness and humility, Mo Li really showed his attitude clearly in the provocations inside and outside the words.
He has always been a radical who supports the struggle, even more than some generals who have come here to eat blood on the battlefield.
However, there are also many followers. After all, he won several battles with Nanman, which made the emperor look at him with admiration in battle.But it is true that some prodigal sons just think about fighting without considering the size of the treasury and military pay.
Moreover, he has always disliked his aunt and always wanted to take over the land.
It was just because Uncle Liu and Lin Xu had been reminded by Lin Huaiyi in advance that Mo Li's punches seemed to hit a ball of soft cotton, and then they felt bored and left.
Of course, even if Lin Xu can't make trouble here, he can make trouble elsewhere.
For the rest, nothing special happened, and the various aristocratic families basically came to send medicinal materials and say some polite words.Anyway, just be more careful in the future.
But these days, people come and go, but there is still no one.
Lin Xu bit the pen holder in distress: "The little prince has never shown his face since he brought him back to the mansion that day. As expected...he just...helped out?"
It is said that the prince seems to have traveled far away these few days, but he has disappeared, and no one has found him.
The bright moon and snow outside made the lonely shadow inside the house slender, and the sadness and loss that filled his heart couldn't help but make the eyes of this frail young man under the fence turn red.
Then there was a knock on the door.
Lin Xu stood up suspiciously, who else would be there at this moment?
When he opened the door, he saw a fluffy white fox leaping into his arms, blinking at him with big eyes.
There is such a lovely thing in this capital?
Lin Xu's heart softened at the sight of it, fearing that Uncle Liu would chase the white fox away if he saw it, so he hurriedly closed the door and carried it back to the desk.
The white fox seemed not to be afraid of life, and rubbed its head against Lin Xu's neck for a while, sniffing there, grabbing Lin Xu's robe and not letting go.
"Little fairy, are you sent by heaven to accompany me when I see that I am lonely?" Lin Xu pinched the white fox's ear and asked with a smile.Most of the lonely mood dissipated just now.
The white fox raised its front foot and slapped Lin Xu's fidgeting hands away, showing that it also has dignity.Then he licked the chin of the person who held him in his arms, and slipped into the bed to wait, with a familiar posture as if he was the master of the room.
Lin Xu is a kind-hearted person. When he sees injured wolf cubs in the hunting grounds of his country, he will help to bandage them. He is often joked by his brothers that he is the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva from the Central Plains. There are a lot of small animals in the yard.
Seeing such a beautiful white fox today, I naturally like it and forget about all the mess.
He went over to tuck the quilt up for the little fox and smoothed its fur. The little fox closed his eyes comfortably and seemed to be asleep.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xu was in no mood to read a book. He closed his eyes when he saw the little creature, because he didn't want his movements to disturb it.He got up and blew out the candles and was about to go to bed and lie down.
But he stood at the head of the bed and thought for a while, then turned around and hugged a quilt and put it on the bed.
After all, my sick body has not yet healed, so it's better not to get too close to it.
But when I looked down at the little fox, I found that it seemed a little unhappy.
Lin Xu:? ? ?
"Woke you up?" Lin Xu was puzzled.
The little fox stared at Lin Xu for a while, then snorted softly, turned his back to him and faced the wall angrily, and ignored him.
Naturally, Lin Xu didn't know where he had provoked this little creature. He wondered for a while, but couldn't figure out why.Then he gave up, and lay down and closed his eyes, stroking the little fox's belly with his hands one after another.
While half asleep and half awake, he thought of a question. This white fox seemed somewhat similar to the one in the dream that day.
But soon, drowsiness swept over him, and he fell asleep in a daze.
It was cool in the middle of the night in early spring, and there was a pleasant rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves outside the house.
Lin Xu, who was half asleep, felt that the little creature next to him abandoned his quilt and sneaked into his bed, rubbing his head against Lin Xu's neck, putting his hands on his chest, and curled up to find it for himself. He continued to sleep in a comfortable position, with a tail gently wrapped around Lin Xu's leg.
Lin Xu smiled confusedly, and patted the little fox's head familiarly as if he had done it thousands of times. He put his arms on the fox's back, and hugged the fluffy ball towards him. Close to the chest, it feels warm and soft.
In the quiet night, you can hear the steady heartbeat of the other party.
I will make up for you in the future.The little fox heard the man in the green robe say this to him in the dream.
a good night's sleep
……
Lin Xu couldn't remember how long it had been since he had such a good night's sleep. Since he came to the capital, perhaps because of aggravated thoughts, he often had nightmares over and over again. .
His whole body smelled like medicine soaked in a jar of medicine, which made him keep three steps away from others knowingly.
I don't know if the little fox was affected by the smell of his medicine.
Only then did he realize that his chest was empty.
have they gone?Or, is this actually a dream?Lin Xu, who was short of energy and blood, would faint for a while every time he woke up. If he hadn't seen a quilt beside him, he would really have thought that last night's adventure was a dream.
It should be gone, such a spirit fox, perhaps some fairy came to the world to practice.He thought about it wildly, put on his clothes and went out to practice.
☆、Chapter 7
Uncle Liu went out to get the medicine before dawn as usual, and since he got the prescription from the imperial physician, the old housekeeper became more diligent and worked hard to make the medicine well.
It's no wonder that among so many people, Lin Selist singled out Uncle Liu to follow Lin Xu to Beijing.
Lin Xu planned to go to the kitchen to warm up a bowl of rice porridge after practicing as usual, when the boy at the door hurried in to announce that King Yucheng was coming.
"Who? King Yucheng?" Did he come back from outside?
This... I haven't cleaned up yet, I haven't changed my practice clothes, I'm still sweating, I haven't tied my hair, I haven't...
Lin Xu was thinking wildly, and stammered to the boy, "Then invite him in and let him wait for me for a while, and I'll clean up."
The boy responded and went to entertain the prince outside the house.
Surprised and delighted, Lin Xu packed hot water and took it to the back room to wash. When she looked in the bronze mirror, she realized that her ears were completely red.He really couldn't figure out why he was the only one who couldn't forget this person.
Lin Xu dawdled for a while and waited for the temperature on his face to cool down before tidying up his clothes and leaving the room.
I saw Lin Huaiyi sitting in the front hall contentedly, with two delicate porcelain bowls in front of the table, filled with crystal clear peach jelly soup.
Seeing him coming out, he waved to him: "Young master, I brought you breakfast, come and eat while it's hot."
Lin Xu walked over with one hand and one foot, held up the bowl and stayed for a while, then asked, "My lord...are you bringing me some breakfast on purpose?"
Lin Huaiyi looked at Lin Xu's reddish ears and smiled and said, "I've got too much gluttony, and I happened to be going to visit the young master at the mansion today, so I brought it here. How does it taste?"
Lin Xu only felt that the peach jelly soup in the bowl had a delicate fragrance and was slightly chewy in the mouth. It was much tastier than cooking it himself, so he couldn't help but sincerely praised: "It's delicious, the master's craftsmanship is really..."
At this point, he suddenly realized how a prince could cook breakfast by himself, and he was not a deserted proton in his mansion, so he changed his words and said: "It's really enviable to have such a kind and caring person serving the prince. .”
Lin Huaiyi felt a little embarrassed, but still planned to explain: "I didn't..."
At this time, his voice was disturbed by the sound of messy footsteps outside. Uncle Liu staggered and pushed the door in, holding a bundle of herbs in his arms, and fell to the ground as soon as he crossed the threshold. Not coming.
The commoner clothes on his body were cut open many times, blood dripped out, and his face was bruised and swollen.
The young servant in the house went over to help Uncle Liu in shock, and Lin Xu hurried over to check on Uncle Liu's injuries.
When Lin Huaiyi saw Uncle Liu's appearance, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he had already thought about it. He nodded towards the courtyard wall, and Lingqu jumped out.
He was guarding the wall just now, and no one in the whole mansion noticed it, which shows that this person's martial arts skills are really superb.
The servant in the mansion helped Uncle Liu to the bed, applied the wound medicine, and gulped several mouthfuls of the medicine. After a long time, Uncle Liu gradually recovered.
Lin Xu asked anxiously, "Uncle Liu, what happened and who injured you so far."
Uncle Liu coughed for a while, then sighed, "It's okay, I was in a hurry to grab the medicine, and I asked for the last Ganoderma lucidum from the medicine shop, but the person behind asked me to give it to him, but I refused, so I started fighting.
My martial arts are not as good as others, and with this old bone, my legs and feet are still good, so I ran back quickly. Don't worry, young master, as long as the medicine is bought, it will be fine.The old slave... I will decoct the medicine for the young master later. "
After speaking, he coughed for a long while.
For the first time, Lin Xu clenched his fists in his robe, his youthful nature made him unable to swallow this breath.
He naturally knew what happened.
Since entering Beijing, he has kept in mind the teachings of his father and queen mother, that peace is the most important thing in all things, and he should be a low-key person. Of course, he has experienced a lot of cynicism for so long, but he has endured it all.
Why do we avoid being bullied everywhere?
Sour and unbearable dissatisfaction surged in the thin chest of the young man who had read a lot of poetry and books.
People in the Northwest drink rice wine and eat wolf meat. Strength is a trait engraved in their bones and blood. Even a gentle person like Lin Xu has an indomitable temperament and cannot stand being humiliated like this.
Seeing Lin Xu's expression from the side, Lin Huaiyi naturally understood what he was thinking, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Lingqu has already gone to find out what happened, wait for him to come back, and leave it to me. "
He held down the old butler who was struggling to get up and said, "Uncle Liu, don't get up too. I'll ask someone to help me decoct the medicine, so you can rest."
After helping Uncle Liu settle down, he left and returned to the mansion.
Lingqu was already waiting for him in the mansion.
"My lord, it was done by the servants of Wu's family. They probably have been staying for a long time. They know when Uncle Liu will go to which medicinal shop to grab what kind of medicine. Today, the Ganoderma lucidum shop is originally a medicinal shop under the management of the Wu family. Taking advantage of being in his own shop, he unscrupulously moved his hands..."
"It seems that they have been holding back for so long, and now they can't bear it anymore."
狐狸舔了舔唇心里暗道:“我也真是憋了许久,快要控制不住这双要揍人的手了。”眼睛里微光一闪而过。
Lingqu suddenly shuddered.
What does this little ancestor want to do.
……
The land of smoked willows, peony garden.
"Drink! Have a good time today, drink, put all the wine on my account, everyone open your belly to drink!"
Wu Nazi sat in the box with a shiny face and greeted everyone, Meiniang on the left squeezed his shoulders and Tweety on the right poured wine for him.
He was very happy today. After he found someone to beat up the old man in the Proton Mansion, the second prince rewarded him with a lot of gold and silver, so he coaxed the dog to wag its tail and bark.
"This official," Mei Niang said delicately, leaning on Wu Nazi, "it just so happens that Jingwen, the famous flower queen in the south of the Yangtze River, was invited to my place to teach the little sisters how to play the piano. How many songs do you play? I guarantee that the official will not be disappointed."
Wu Nazi sneered disapprovingly, "Those in Jiangnan have thin arms and legs, poked there like a bamboo pole, how can you be so romantic."
Wu Nazi pinched Mei Niang's slender waist, making her tremble wildly.
"But since you're all here, let's call, the oiran from Jiangnan? I'm also opening my eyes today."
The boy at the door responded and ran to call for someone.
After a while, I saw a girl wearing a plain long gown. Although her cleanliness was a bit eye-catching, it made people feel that she was as pretty as a peach in spring, and as green as a chrysanthemum in autumn. With a fringed belt, a slender waist that can be easily grasped, a long and slender figure, and a light veil covering the face, she came over and bowed to the people in the room, with slender eyebrows and almond eyes, she didn't talk much, and sat down on the piano platform quietly.
Touching the strings lightly, the timbre flowed, and just a few tones had already made the people at the wine table hold their breath.
"Tianlai Qiongyin" flashed through the minds of all the people present, the beauty is pleasing to the eye, and the timbre is pleasing to the ear.It is rare in the world.
Under the moonlight, the veil was blown by the breeze, and the face that was revealed was like a fairy, and the whole body was covered with a layer of light smoke and mist, which seemed real and unreal.
The people in the whole room didn't make any movement, they were fascinated and seemed to be stupefied.
After the song was over, the woman didn't linger much, she nodded lightly and left by herself.
The sound of closing the door woke the person at the table back up.
Everyone seemed to be walking in a dream. There was such a fairy-like person in the world. The sound of the piano was cold and the smile was shallow, just like the person from the Moon Palace who descended to earth.
Nazi licked
