Sir, I can do it!

"... I heard the third son said that adults like to eat green plums, so I deliberately made more. This medicine is really bitter. Eat a candied fruit to make your mouth sweet."

"What about him?"

"Master Sun is here at the house, and the third son is coaxing him right now. My lord, drink the medicine quickly, it won't be good if it gets cold."

"It's your job."

After drinking a bowl of medicine, there is only one green plum fruit, the sweet and sour taste dilutes the bitterness.Changsun Ke doesn't like sweets, but he likes green plums very much.

"Listen to him, are you looking for your son?"

"Yes."

Changsun Ke coughed lightly: "You know my identity. There are Nanfu eyeliners everywhere in the Four Kingdoms. If you can trust me, I can help you."

Jiang Shi shook his hand excitedly: "Really!"

Changsun Ke seemed a little uncomfortable, he withdrew his hand and nodded.

Mrs. Jiang also hurriedly withdrew her hand, and said very apologetically, "I, I'm so happy, I lost my manners for a while, please don't blame me, my lord."

She calmed down and asked cautiously, "Does your lord know about the Nanjun Xun family?"

"The Xun family?" Changsun Ke's eyes flickered: "Emperor Empress Chu Wei was born in the Xun family in Nanjun, and she gave birth to a daughter... Princess Yiyang."

"That's right. Empress Xun's nephew, Xun Yuan, is my husband-in-law."

Changsun Ke lowered his eyes: "So, you are the daughter of the Jiang family of the Fengxi clan."

As if recalling something, Jiang's voice was faintly sad: "Yes. The Jiang family is good at doing business, and the wealth accumulated for several generations is deep, but the family practices frugality and guards against arrogance and extravagance. After the children of the family grow up, They have to run business in various places, and there are very few officials who enter the court. Twenty-nine years ago, Emperor Wu captured Shengjing City and established Qi State. Emperor Wei of Chu fled south and established his capital in Nanjun."

"In order to win the strong support of the Xun family, Empress Xun personally bestowed a marriage on Princess Yiyang to Xun Yi, the second son of the Xun family. She also sent a capable internal eunuch to Fengxi to lobby the patriarch and propose marriage for Xun Yuan, the eldest son of the Xun family. The patriarch I didn't want to get involved in disputes, but there was Chu in the past, and King Liang in the future, so the patriarch had to respond."

"Xun Yuan is elegant and humble. Knowing that I am far away from home, he treats me very well every day. I also gradually let go of my guard. The husband and wife raise their eyebrows together, and life is peaceful and smooth. We have a son, whose baby name is Xu'er. His eyebrows and eyes are very similar to his. Father, when you smile, it's like the rising sun, warming your heart."

"Xu'er was born, and everyone in the house was very happy. On the day of the full moon, there was a banquet at the house. I was busy greeting the wives of each family, and I neglected Xu'er for a while. When I went back at night, Xu'er..."

When Jiang said this, tears could no longer be contained, and she gushed out: "The mother in the house said that Xu'er suddenly convulsed, and he was out of breath before the doctor came. His small body was lying in the cradle, covered with blood. I was holding the dead body, and I told them it wasn't my Xu'er. But no one believed me, and all of them comforted me to mourn."

"Xu'er is very healthy. He is not sick, and he will not leave suddenly. I went crazy looking for Xu'er, but I couldn't find it anywhere. My husband also advised me to let go, but I just couldn't let go. It was me. son! He is so young."

Hearing her sadness, Changsun Ke's cold heart was pulled involuntarily, as if he could feel her sadness and pain.

"The Xun family is a big family, and there must be no shortage of people to serve Young Master Sun. So many people say that the baby's body is Xu'er, why don't you believe it? Also, can you find out the cause of the sudden death?"

"My husband checked and said he was poisoned. The people in the house interrogated one by one, and finally found the wet nurse. The aristocrats always have some shady things, and the wet nurse is said to be revenge for the Xun family. She admitted to being poisoned, and then committed suicide. Maybe it’s because of the strong reaction of the poison, the body is blue and purple, and the face of the baby who has just been full moon has not yet grown, so it is difficult to identify. But mother and child are connected, how can I not even recognize my own child.”

Changsun Ke frowned slightly: "It's just based on feeling, there is no evidence."

"Do you think I'm crazy, too?"

Changsun Ke looked up at her: "I just believe in the evidence more. There is another question. Where was Princess Yiyang when the incident happened?"

Jiang wiped her tears with a handkerchief, thought for a while and said: "In order to show her kindness, Empress Xun did not ask Xun Yi to live in the princess mansion after she bestowed the marriage, but she is a princess after all, and usually only lives in her own courtyard, not with us. Contacts. I was married to Xun Yuan for a year, and I only met her twice. Later, Xun Yi was transferred to Yuanshui, and Princess Yiyang also joined him. When the incident happened, they had been in office for more than half a year. Why did your lord suddenly ask this?"

"Nothing. So you have been looking for Xu'er?"

Mrs. Jiang nodded: "After Xu'er's accident, I first searched in Nanjun area. After two years, there was no news at all. At that time, my husband was appointed as the prime minister and took charge of the government. If he hadn't been tied to Queen Xun's boat, Husband actually doesn’t want to enter the court. Emperor Chu Wei is cruel and heartless, but my husband’s repeated admonitions have no effect.”

"Later, General Wei of Qi State came to fight, and Nanjun City was in chaos. A group of courtiers protected Emperor Chu Wei and continued to flee south. General Wei led the army to chase and kill him. On the way to the south, I was separated from my family and was surrounded by refugees. Where did you run to? When the war ends, the Xun family no longer exists, and the husband's life and death are unknown."

"The state of Chu was destroyed. Emperor Wei of Chu and Empress Xun hanged themselves to death. Some of the members of the royal family died in the chaos of the army, and some fled to Liangzhou. After that, everything from the north of Suixue Pass was owned by the state of Qi. Liang Wang Zili called Nanliang, and the Fengxi Jiang family was looted by Nanliang, and the century-old clan was drowned in the flames of war. I am alone and have no support."

Changsun Ke was leaning on the cushion, the wound on his left abdomen was still aching.He had heard from his mother about the war.Mother said that the army of Qi State entered Nanjun City, murdered and set fire, raped and looted, committed all kinds of crimes, and the people complained.He also said that in order to avenge his personal revenge, Wei Ru slaughtered the royal family of Chu State, and his methods were cruel...

With lowered eyes, he said seriously, "If Xu'er is alive, I will help you find him."

"...you can only eat one candied fruit per day." Wei Zhao stretched out a finger and waved it in front of Wei Yuan's eyes.

Wei Yuan rubbed against Wei Zhao, pouted his mouth and begged, "Two! Third uncle is the best!"

"You have forgotten the suffering you suffered a few days ago, and you still dare to eat candied fruit."

"If you don't eat candied fruit for a day, you will feel the gluttonous worms in your stomach, and your intestines will hurt. You have to have something sweet."

"Hey! Where did you get that wisecrack?"

Wei Yuan narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Of course it's with Uncle Three!" He scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Uncle Three was not at home for the past two days, and Yuan'er was going to be bored to death, so I went to play in Uncle Three's yard , I want to wait for the third uncle to come back. There are many interesting things here, and there is also a book about drawing villains. I don’t know many characters, so Ding Quan should tell me, that’s what it says in the book.”

The corner of Wei Zhao's mouth twitched: "Which book are you reading?"

Wei Yuan grabbed his fingers and thought about it hard, and said, ""Daughter Jiao"!"

Wei Zhao: ...

"I asked Ding Quan to finish this book for me. I went to look it up just now, and I found this one!"

Wei Zhao rolled his eyes and took a look - "Grandma in the Boudoir"!

"As expected of my nephew, you have vision!"

Wei Yuan smiled and rolled his eyes: "Then third uncle, can I have two candied fruit?"

Wei Zhao's eyes widened: "If you say one, it's one."

Wei Yuan stomped his feet angrily: "I will never get along with third uncle again!"

Wei Yuan walked back with his head drooping, Ding Quan couldn't help but shed a tear of sympathy when he saw his young master Sun's pitiful back.To fight against the third master, Young Master Sun is afraid that he will have to practice for a hundred years or so.

Just after stepping through the courtyard gate, he saw his father standing in the courtyard with his head slumped, his mother was half leaning on the recliner with her feet up, and sister Lu'er was fanning her.

"Ding Quan, dad is being scolded again." Wei Yuan didn't dare to make a sound, and hurriedly slipped back to his room against the wall.

"Ding Quan, why do you think Dad suddenly became stiff and dared to make your mother angry!" Wei Yuan held a candied fruit in his mouth, poked his mouth, and poked his head out from time to time to glance at Wei Xuan who was standing in the yard for punishment.

Ding Quan also looked at it eagerly, and agreed: "No, you dare to ask the young master to look for candied fruit in the third master's yard. Isn't this a crime against the wind?"

Wei Yuan nodded his head: "Father must have a conspiracy."

……

"Are you still going?"

Wei Xuan shook her head.

"Really not going?"

Wei Xuan shook his head violently.

Only then was Qin Wu satisfied, and said earnestly, "The third younger brother has always been free and easy, and he doesn't like to be restrained by rules. Even father can't do anything about the third younger brother. Besides, the third younger brother is a monkey spirit, who dares to plot against him, that's not his own fault." Do you want to ask for trouble? This time the third brother is in trouble, I know you are worried about it, but you can't act impulsively. The master of Huguo Temple just said please? Besides, you don't discuss it with your father and grandmother. Advocate, if things go wrong, how will it end?"

Wei Xuan murmured: "What Wu said is true, I was confused."

He moved towards Qin Wu's side, squatted down, and gently tugged Qin Wu's sleeve: "Ah Wu, don't be angry. I, am I just worried about Ah Zhao, afraid that he will go astray."

Qin Wu said: "You, there is grandma and me in the matter of the rear house, so there is no need for you to worry about it."

Wei Xuan's eyes lit up: "Ah Wu means..."

Qin Wu smiled and said, "Isn't this grandma's birthday coming up? Daddy meant to have a good time. Our second brother is not young anymore. Grandma was worried about his marriage, so she asked me to pay attention to see which family has A suitable girl, so that my second brother can see each other."

Wei Xuan agreed very much: "Although the second brother is not good at conduct, he is not bad in appearance and character. It's just that the second brother has a cold personality. In the past, when I showed him, he always said that he was not in a hurry. I think this year will be difficult. become."

Qin Wu sighed, "Second brother, I'm afraid I'll delay other girls. Speaking of which, the wives in Beijing have asked me a lot these past few years, and I dare not accept it lightly. This year, I have a son from my family coming to Beijing for the exam, and I also think about it." I found a good marriage for my sister, so I brought her along with her, and now I live in the west of the city. Since my grandmother mentioned this, I wanted to show my second brother."

"Someone from my family is here? Why don't you tell me when you arrive?"

Qin Wu said: "I don't know each other very well from the side branch of my family. There is only a letter from my family, and I need to take care of it. Think about it, the second brother has been wasted for several years, and now the third brother has also reached the crown. This marriage Naturally, it should be put on the agenda. Aren't you worried that the third brother and the eldest grandson don't know each other well, if you can find a marriage for the third brother, and the younger siblings will take care of it, then you can take care of it."

Wei Xuan clapped her hands and laughed loudly: "Ah Wu is still smart, why didn't I think of that."

Qin Wu poked him on the head and said with a smile, "You're only thinking about your magical weapons."

Wei Xuan leaned forward and kissed her: "I'm still thinking about you."

……

Although Wei Yuan didn't understand what his parents said, he understood one sentence. His parents were going to find a wife for the third uncle.

With his little hands behind his back, he shook his head and sighed, "A wealthy woman..."
