The Prince of Rebirth

"It's getting colder these days, why don't you come here wearing more clothes?"

Lin Hang ordered his servants to get a cloak to put on Xia Pei. After winter, the sun has not been seen for several days. It has been cold in Japan these days, and it is even more windy. Standing in the house, the hands and feet feel colder. Not to mention just coming in from the outside.

"It's not as bad as you said. In the past, it was not as difficult in the camp as it is here, and I didn't see much trouble when I was exposed to the sun and rain all day long, but it's just a bit of cold wind. "

Even though he said so, Xia Pei gathered his cloak and still didn't take it off after all-Lin Hang's status was higher than him, so there was no need to argue over such a trivial matter.

After Xia Pei entered the table, Xia Pei consciously sat next to Xia Jin to talk to him. Some of the clever maids had already brought in a pair of bowls and chopsticks early in the morning. The food was enough, and adding another person just made it more lively.

"Is Seventh Brother living comfortably here these days?"

Xia Jin looked at her younger brother, who was one year younger, thinking about all the recent events, and didn't know how to deal with him.After all, Xia Pei was young, no matter how smart he was, he was still unsophisticated. He hadn't gotten too deep into these dirty things about the third house of the Xia family, but because of Mr. Xia, he stood directly on the opposite side of the Xia family. Just like Xia Yu who was against the Second Household in the past, only Xia Pei was more tragic than Xia Yu.

"My lord and my concubine are kind-hearted, everything is fine with me here."

Hearing this, Xia Pei didn't say anything else anymore. Although the child is young, he still has a sense of what to say and what not to say. He didn't mention a word about the previous affairs of the Xia family, just talking about school with Xia Jin. anecdote.When the Xia family had an accident, the third room was not implicated because of Lin Fangmiao's protection. When the other descendants of Xia's surname were fleeing, Xia Pei still sat in the school and listened to the teacher's lecture. It is false to say that he is not jealous, but Xia Jin also knows that Mr. Xia's status today is due to his personal planting of good fortune. The blessings he has plundered for himself should be enjoyed by his children and grandchildren, and idlers like them can only be jealous.

It's just... Xia Jin lowered her eyes, and finally sighed in her heart.

Now Sanfang has completely broken with the Xia family, just looking at the current situation, there is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation.Although Mr. Xia was not in charge of this incident, in the end there is still a crime of knowingly not telling and standing by. Once such a big beam is formed, it will be as difficult as ever to reconcile as before.

"That's a good feeling. It would be great to have someone to take care of you when you are out of the house. In this way, my parents and I can let go of our worries and communicate with Seventh Brother. Seventh Brother can go to the camp more on weekdays. Now our whole family is in the camp. Settling down, although the palace is thoughtful, it is better to be alone with relatives who can talk about themselves."

"My lord also said that he wants me to go to the camp more. Firstly, I want to get closer to you so that we don't lose our love for each other. Secondly, I also want to practice and practice in case I can't hold anything except a pen in the future. After ten days of next month It’s time to go to the camp at six, and I’ll have to rely on you to remind me if I can’t figure it out.”

"I haven't seen Brother Seven in the past few days. After all, he still has a relationship with me. The things in the camp are arranged well if you don't mention it. Brother Seven will definitely not be bullied if you have a brother walking with Brother Seven in the future."

After a pause, Xia Pei picked up the bowls and chopsticks to eat, chewed a few mouthfuls and said indifferently,

"When I first returned to Beijing, everything was not clear. The fact that I got close to Seventh Brother out of intention had nothing to do with what happened after that. I have nothing to say now. I just hope that you and I will still be brothers with the same surname in the future. Don't worry about it." Those things are far from friendship."

"It's natural."

Speaking of which, it's not good for Xia Jin to hang on to the previous matter anymore. There are still many opportunities for the two to meet in the future. No matter what the facts are, they must be wiped out, otherwise it will be of little benefit to others and themselves. .How much grievances can Xia Pei have with Xia Jin when he is not yet seven years old?Even if the interests are different, it does not prevent the two from maintaining a superficial peace.

Lin Hang glanced at this and then at that, still a little disappointed that the two didn't pinch each other.Since he was a child, Lin Ge didn't care about his face and was very keen to fight with him, and he had no other brothers who could seek brotherhood, so he secretly wished that all brothers in the world would fight like them. Only in this way can we find some balance.

"Hurry up and eat, I'm too busy talking. If the food gets cold, the kitchen won't be free for anyone to get new ones."

The three of them buried their heads in eating for a while, Xia Jin suddenly remembered about He Zheng and asked Xia Pei about it, and got such an answer without thinking.

"It's been a while since he came to the school, it seems like I haven't seen him much since Brother Lin stopped coming."

Xia Jin looked at Lin Hang with her eyes, deeply doubting whether this guy had already harmed He Zheng in order to retaliate.At first, Lin Hang didn't know that He Zheng was still there. He was taken aback by Xia Jin's look, and then naturally thought of the previous matter, and he was extremely annoyed:

"You mean He Zheng also met that day!"

Xia Jin let out an "eh" in great surprise, and then asked Lin Hangdao curiously:

"Do you think I dare to let others know about such a thing?"

Lin Hang thought about the same reasoning, the less people know about doing bad things, the better, so he put aside these things and concentrated on eating. Xia Pei originally wanted to ask what was going on, but Xia Jin changed the topic. It was related to Xia Jin's birthday.

"Brother Qi didn't mention the sixteenth, but I forgot. I heard from my father that your birthday will be the sixteenth next month. Now that my second uncle and aunt are not around, how about we have a family banquet on the sixteenth day?" ?”

"Sixty years of life is not considered a lifespan. I am only at this age, but I am not qualified to talk about my birthday. I have never done it in the past few years. It makes no sense to pay attention to these things when my parents are not in front of me. I appreciate your kindness. If you really want to Congratulate me, come to the mansion on the [-]th day and chat with me, just rest for one night and go to the camp together on the second day, I just don’t know—this master is willing to open the gate on the [-]th day and allow me to stay guest?"

Xia Jin tilted her head to ask Lin Hang's opinion. After all, he should not be too ignorant now that he is living under the fence.Originally, I was worried about going to the camp on the first day without joint joints for fear of trouble, but it happened that Xia Pei bumped into it by himself.If you let Lin Hang lead the way in the military camp for the first time, you will definitely be cheated. No matter how you say it, Xia Pei is more reliable than Lin Hang. In any case, find the guide first.

Xia Pei's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and before Lin Hang could answer, he took the first step and said:

"That's natural. On the [-]th day, I will come to stay with Brother Seven. Will Second Brother Lin let me come to your house?"

Lin Hang grew up with Xia Pei and regarded him as his own brother since then, but there is no reason not to agree to come to stay at the house for a night, just looking at Xia Jin proudly, he is a little jealous, just looking at it I felt the stench on my face was unbearable and I wished I could peel off my face.

Is this already hysterical due to the last incident! !

Lin Hang got up suddenly, covered his face and ran outside. Xia Pei didn't get a reply and was about to chase him out to ask, but Xia Jin stopped him with his hand.

"Second brother Lin should have something urgent to deal with. I can't take care of this side. I have time to talk to the prince or princess about what happened on the [-]th day. Don't chase after him."

"That's great, I just wonder if Second Brother Lin has something urgent that needs to be dealt with before dinner?"

Xia Jin looked at the direction Lin Hang was running away, hooked the corners of her mouth, and said two words very proudly.

"Wash your face."

**

The situation in central Beijing is ambiguous. Since the Xia family faded out of people's sight, King Dingyuan has been very quiet for a while. He has not objected to his wife staying in Beijing as a hostage. A large-scale banquet was held at the Dingyuan Palace, and the people invited were all respectable families in Beijing.Although the quarrel between the king of Dingyuan and the emperor can be seen by anyone with eyes, but who doesn't have a lot of eyes to make a living in Beijing?The emperor cannot be offended, but Lin Fangmiao is easy to provoke?

The matter of whether to attend or not made it difficult for many people, but in the end they still felt that it was unreasonable for King Dingyuan not to congratulate him for the first time when he returned to Beijing, so there were quite a few people present that day, only a few sporadic excuses did not show up.As far as Xia Jin knew, the two most conspicuous people who accepted the post but did not attend were Cheng He and Hu Shangshu. , the prime minister was already destined to stand on the emperor's side, so it didn't matter whether Lin Fangmiao was pleased or not, it all depended on who would win in the end.

As for Hu Shangshu... Xia Jin would never pay attention to such a passer-by if he hadn't taken a fancy to his daughter in his previous life.

That's right, this is the Minister of Rites who gave birth to a daughter in the previous life and made Xia Jin and He Zheng rivals in love.It is also reasonable for the old man to be extremely rigid and dislike Lin Fangmiao, a thief who commits troubles. Xia Jin only heard it and put it aside.

After that, the days went on as usual: while enduring the ravages of the princess, while inquiring about the whereabouts of Mrs. Zhang and Xia Yu and Xia Huan.Zhang's side is alright, Xia Jin knew where she was going when she sent her away, and when she got the chance, she just let the concubine let her go and take her into the mansion.Although the people in the mansion were not good, but in this era when the emperor had been offended terribly, it was a great fortune to be able to survive in the mansion and suffer.

As for Xia Yu and Xia Huan... At the beginning, Huang Qing was watching him, but he didn't find a chance to ask Wang's whereabouts. Now they are running around like headless flies without a clue.The two of them have different identities from the Zhang family. After all, the Zhang family is just an aunt. It doesn't hurt much if the Lin family is saved, but Xia Yu and Xia Huan are the serious grandsons of the Xia family. Not easy to control.At the beginning, Xia Jin was kept to prevent the Xia family from causing trouble, but now they are told that besides Xia Jin, the Xia family has such two grandchildren.

After thinking about it for a long time but still having no idea, Xia Jin finally decided to bring Mrs. Zhang to her side to take care of her. As for Xia Yu and Xia Huan, she still needs to make a long-term plan.So on the second day of the banquet, Xia Jin went to the princess to explain her intentions straight to the point, without any cover-up. It was expected that the princess would not ignore this matter.

"If you say it like this, you really can't delay it. That Mrs. Zhang is your biological mother, I can't ignore it even because of your filial piety. It's not too late. I'll send someone to pick her up today. return."

The Lin family needs Xia Jin to take control of the Xia family, but if they hold the humble aunt in the palm of their hands, are they afraid that this little kid Xia Jin will cause trouble?It is impossible for the Lin family not to agree to such a cost-effective deal, so Xia Jin was not surprised that the matter went smoothly, and only waited for Zhang to enter the mansion.
