The son is responsible

Xue Muji has always been puzzled, how did his brother recognize him?Are you sure it's him?

He asked several times, but my brother always changed the subject and refused to tell him the answer.

Pingjiang Wharf is right in front of you.

Compared with three years ago, Pingjiang City was much depressed.Xue Muji walked slowly by the river, looking at the scattered cargo ships, the more he thought about it, the more lost he felt.

For beautiful things, it is easy to go down, but it is difficult to go up.

Pingjiang's Wuhua Tianbao, which has been accumulated for thousands of years, has been exhausted in just three years.

In the river water, there are small shadows of the two of them.The two wandered around the river.My brother has been holding his hand and staying by his side.

Fortunately, there were not many people at the pier in the early morning, so Xue Muji was wearing Lu Zhao's clothes, which were relatively roomy, and his sleeves could cover the place where his fingers connected to his heart.

During this trip, Lu Zhao concealed Jin Jiawei and the entourage of the palace, only took Xue Muji, walked along the Pingjiang waterway, boarded a cargo ship passing by the wharf, and disembarked from the Pingjiang wharf.

Since landing, two masters have been following behind him.

Although they couldn't see their faces clearly because of their passing figures, Lu Zhao was still sure that they would be watched closely the moment they got off the boat.The incident of him blowing up the temple in Yanli City was too ostentatious, and he didn't expect to hide it from the eyes and ears of the neighboring Pingjiang Hou Mansion. Besides, he didn't need to hide when he returned to his own home.

Xue Muji suddenly said, "The books that third uncle left in the library, at least a few thousand, do we really want to read them one by one?"

"if not?"

"Didn't you say that in the travel notes written by the third uncle, there was a medical girl mentioned many times? The person who marked it on the treasure map? If the third uncle showed her something so important, he must be a very trustworthy person. If we can find her, maybe we can get the prescription directly." Xue Muji remembered that the treasure map that Lu Zhao showed him before, the delicate characters were indeed written by a woman.

"Let's look for it first," Lu Zhao said.

The two walked along the river until they reached the right road, and it was finally lively. Xue Muji had a candied haws in his left hand and a bag of crispy nuts in his right, and Lu Zhao carried the rest in Lu Zhao's hands.The problem of being unable to stop buying things as soon as he goes shopping has not changed because of the change of his status.Although he has no money now, his brother has money.

"That...roasted corn..." Xue Muji pointed to the stall, and sure enough, my brother went to buy it.

Brother really understands his mind!

Behind him, someone suddenly wrapped his arms around his waist and knocked him to the ground.

"Candied haws." The man snatched the candied haws from Xue Muji's hand and ran away towards the alley.

Speaking of these days, there are even people who rob candied haws.What about Pingjiang City, where the doors are never closed at night, the roads are never picked up, and the bandits are persuaded to abandon evil and do good?

Xue Muji got up, coughed twice, his face was covered with ashes from the man just now.Xue Muji wiped his face, it became darker and darker, what kind of dust is this!

Looking up, Lu Zhao smiled faintly, squatted down, and wiped his little painted face carefully with his sleeve.

Xue Muji couldn't bear it anymore, "Brother, why did Pingjiang become like this?"

"Jing Ning, you know more about the grievances between Feng's family and foster father than I do. The decline of Feng's family is inevitable, but with the Pingjiang Hou's mansion behind it, it will be much more difficult to sort out. After Hou Ye fell ill, Pingjiang's son and Jing Ning walks very close and helps in everything, even though the adoptive father has promised you and me, and won't move the Pingjiang Marquis's Mansion, he can't help Pingjiang Shizi throwing money at him again and again."

"So... well... I knew..." Xue Muji lowered his head, "I have to thank Prince Lu for saving face for me."

Pingjiang Hou's Mansion has not been ransacked by all the families, how lucky it is!

It didn't take long for the two of them to reach the gate of Pingjiang Hou's Mansion.

Xue Muji looked at the stone lion's neck in front of the door, there was really a sign hanging, "Lu Zhao and dogs are not allowed in." He thought his brother was joking, could it be true?

Xue Muji picked up the stone from the ground and rubbed it on the wooden sign.

Lu Zhao didn't care much, "I came back two years ago. At that time, I was out of control in Yongdu, and I didn't know that Pingjiang Hou's mansion had touched the bottom line of his foster father several times. It was the emperor who came to the manor to rub During the meal, I slipped my tongue, so I secretly left Yongdu and wanted to come back to see what was going on."

"I'm sorry." Xue Mu was very sad, my brother must have admitted the wrong person, argued with that pig-headed son, and I don't know if he was bullied by that hateful son, my brother must have been very sad at that time. "I said to guard the house for you, but in the end, it made you tired of the Pingjiang Houfu."

"It's all over. He's not you. I'll know when I come back to see him." Lu Zhao raised his sword slightly and cut off the wooden sign in the middle.

"What are you doing!" The soldiers of the Hou's Mansion heard the movement and found the two of them.

"Young Master Jiu?" The person in front recognized it.Back then, the young master of the second bedroom was favored by the prince, and he was the object of superficial flattery and private discussion by the people in the Hou Mansion. Later, he was taken away by the prince regent, and he came back to have a big fight with the prince, and they broke up. There is a sign on the stone lion at the door.

Today is different from the past, when Lu Yu recognized his adopted son, he posted a list to inform the world. Everyone in the Marquis of Pingjiang was terrified, trying to remember whether he had ever scolded this second-family brother who was born with evil spirits.

"Say hello to your family's eldest son, I have something to see him." Lu Zhao saw two soldiers looking at Xue Muji, and said, "He is my friend."

"The son went out with his wife, Mr. Jiu...Master Lu, you have to wait a while."

The government soldiers hurriedly invited Lu Zhao to the main hall.Today is different from the past, this master can't afford to offend.Lu Zhao is very familiar with Pingjiang Hou's Mansion, so naturally he doesn't need to lead the way, but this friend next to Lu Zhao seems...to be very familiar with the way of the Hou's Mansion.

Xue Muji first went to his own yard, and it seemed that there was not much change, then he turned to the east, the residence of Marquis Pingjiang.

On the way, he saw a thin old lady with silver hair sitting on a rock and eating candied haws.

There is an incense burner next to the stone, half of which has been sprinkled with ashes.The engraved pattern on the outside of the incense burner is retro, and there is a big crack.

Xue Muji really didn't want to associate the thief who robbed his candied haws just now with the old lady in front of him.Three years ago, the old lady was crazy, but at least her body was round and plump.But now, this person is skinny and skinny, not at all like the mistress of the Hou's family who lives in an incomparably rich country.

I felt desolate for a while.When Marquis Pingjiang was healthy, some people accommodated her and showed filial piety to her, but now, she is despised by people in the Hou's mansion, and no one cares about her when she runs out of the mansion.

Xue Muji and Lu Zhao stood motionless in front of her.Xue Muji called softly, "Grandma."

The old matriarch also saw someone coming. It seemed that the person was very strange and terrifying. She subconsciously protected the incense burner beside her and shouted, "Three, three, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, mother is here, mother will protect you. "

She only cared about the censer, and the candied haws in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter.She immediately got down to pick it up.

But he was supported by someone.

"Dirty." Xue Muji kicked away the rolled candied haws, and Lu Zhao handed over the roasted corn he bought earlier.Xue Muji went on to brag to the old man, "Eat this, it tastes better."

The old lady happily took the corn and gnawed it.
