All your life is gentle

After the security incident was dealt with, the relevant person in charge reported to Ning Mao—in name, he was only the leader of the Lifang Division, but in fact, he had always been in charge of the security work on occasions like tonight.Ning Mao went to the imperial court again and reported to the emperor's cousin and his father.It is unavoidable to add fuel and vinegar to whitewash: how the common people followed the imperial driver and accidentally fell into the water;Originally, it would be better for the Li brothers and sisters to skip the mention, but they were too much in the limelight, and there were too many witnesses at the scene, so I had to talk a little about Si Wenlang's assistance.

Hearing that the young Zhuangyuan Lang can also martial arts, Zhao Ju was unexpectedly interested, "Whose ship is he on? Quickly call me to let me see!" Turning to Ning Shuyuan, he said, "Uncle, this night is all It's a literary play, but it's a pity that we didn't catch up with the stage of a martial play. ——It's really hard to look at people, this Li Zizhou usually looks very gentle..."

Ning Shuyuan nodded: "Speaking of Li Zizhou, I also have an impression. It turns out that he has kung fu..." He said in his heart: He only said that he was able to enter Shu safely because of the help of knights in the rivers and lakes, but he didn't mention the reason—Xiao At a young age, I don't know whether to be humble or deep?

The imperial decree was passed on to the Yuan family's boat, urging Si Wenlang to leave immediately.Zi Shi only had time to whisper "Sister Mo Ti", and Zi Zhou was invited by the servant who passed the order to the small boat to pick him up.Waiting for his younger brother to come back with a heart, Zi Shi thought to himself: It's really not possible, so let's just spread everything out.Anyway, most of us are relatives, so we can discuss things if we have something to say.If it still doesn't work, then you have to use both hard and soft tactics to force Zizhou and Zigui to follow him, turn around and walk away—forget about his ideals, beliefs, values ​​and outlook on life, no matter what, he can't send his sister into the fire pit.

After making up his mind, he continued to chat perfunctorily with everyone.A group of scholars just heard Zi Zhou talking about the heroic deeds of Chuzhou heroes against Xi Rong, and they were very emotional, and the topic turned to the battle ahead before they knew it.Although Wang Zonghan and the others were of high rank, they lived in a noble and leisurely yamen like the Imperial Academy. On the contrary, they were low-level officials in various departments of Jingzhao and knew more about the details of current affairs.Two of them were in charge of the Department of Defense, and they talked about the [-] new recruits this year, and all of them went to Shubei a few days ago.

"Could it be that the north is also in a hurry?" Several other people asked in surprise.

"That's not true. It is said that the soldiers of the Western Army arrived outside Xianlang Pass in the summer, and secretly moved stones to clear the road. After two full months, they drove nearly ten miles before the defenders in the pass noticed!"

"Ah! Isn't it time to pass?"

"That's not the case. I heard that the imperial guards buried all the tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder in the inventory of the Yangyang Ordnance Department on the cliffs on both sides of Xianlang Pass. After the detonation, the rocks collapsed and blocked it for a full twenty miles. It's so easy. It's just that it's troublesome for us to deal with them now, there are piles of rocks piled up like mountains, let alone camping, it's hard enough to climb up..."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay: "So, do we have to wait for the Xibing soldiers to dig in front of us before we can start fighting?"

"Who knows... Didn't General Dingyuan just be transferred to take charge of northern affairs? The imperial court has been operating in the east all these years, but the people of Xirong would actually use the most stupid method to clean up the official roads in the north one stone at a time... ..."

"One hundred thousand recruits, how come there are so many?" It was Zi Shi who asked.

"Hush——" the person being asked lowered his voice, "This time even the men who just turned thirteen were taken away from some places. It is said that they are in a hurry to repair fortifications in the north. There is a shortage of manpower. There is no way...don't Zhang Zhang..."

Everyone here felt that the situation was not good, each had their own concerns, and remained silent.

Zi Shi picked up the cup: How many springs and autumns can we see in the prosperous and beautiful scenery in front of us?The lights are feasting and the feasting is green, and the rosy clouds are full of smoke, clearly revealing the decadence of the last days everywhere, but also magnificent and lingering, making people intoxicated and hard to leave.Just like the turbid flow of rotten soil, it can best nourish beautiful flowers.But……

Raise your head, look across the river, across the lamp mountain, and across the crowd, facing the bright moon that is sinking in the west.

——Modern people don't see the moon in ancient times, but this month once illuminated the ancients.

The weather in Sichuan is cloudy and cloudy, and the moon usually only shows for a few hours, and it may even be covered by heavy clouds for several Mid-Autumn Festivals, without a trace.It was three years ago the last time it was so clear and full of light like tonight.

Chatting before, several members of the Hanlin Academy mentioned that Qin Tianjian had been worried for a long time because of tonight.It wasn't until the full moon rose to the sky that he breathed a sigh of relief.The common people commented that the gods rewarded the face, and the emperor was full of blessings.

Zi Shi looked at the moon and saw God.Everyone knows each other, but this one who doesn't speak is the only one who knows her heart.His younger siblings were not around, and the loneliness that permeated through his bones and veins throughout his past and present lives suddenly entangled his soul and dragged him away from the scene.It is as if standing side by side with the bright moon, looking down on everything in the world, but clearly seeing the wheels of history rolling in, and will ruthlessly run over this piece of colorful splendor... Zi Shi has a subtle feeling in his heart, just like some dreams: he looks at I experienced everything in my dream, being an actor and an audience at the same time; while anxiously busy, fearful and worried, I told myself: I am dreaming, it’s okay...

Suddenly the voice rose.Zi Shi was surprised, and after listening to a few sentences, it turned out that there were two people who held different opinions on the military defense system of Xijing, and they were dissatisfied with each other, and they were fighting each other.Looking up, the moon has hidden behind the clouds.He sighed secretly: When the time comes, is it really possible to just turn around and lift your legs without looking back?

Unintentionally stretched out his hand, and picked up two fingers, it turned out to be another piece of peanut cake.Looking down, I realized that the whole plate had arrived in front of me at some point.

Wang Zonghan beside him smiled and said, "I saw that you like it, so I moved it over."

Slightly stunned, he still smiled slightly: "Thank you, Brother Wang." I thought: Is it so obvious that even unrelated people can see it?

His thoughts drifted away again, and the complicated images and sounds around him all disappeared.

... Another year has passed, I don't know how many peanuts I have eaten, but there is no news about it.Boss Xing tried his best, and Zizhou also made inquiries, and found many families with the surname Gu, but none of them could be riveted and tenoned.

He... Back then, didn't he just turn around and lift his legs, and never looked back?

Whatever the reason, there was no turning back.

After such a long time, I should give up.If you continue to entangle, I'm afraid it will be more hopeless and sad than the prosperity of the last days in front of you.But, but...how can I...don't want to forget?Even, I was afraid that I would forget... What should I do if this continues? ...

Zi Shi understands: The lonely seeds buried deep in his body, because of fleeing, because of his younger siblings, and because of... Gu Changsheng, delayed the time to take root and germinate.Now it finally thrives day by day, multiplying into a lush and dense jungle.

It turns out that without Gu Changsheng, everything is so unreal.

However, once there was Gu Changsheng, life became even more illusory and absurd...

What a shame.

——I send my sad heart and the bright moon, follow the wind to the west of Yelang.

The fleet was approaching Enrongfang, and Zizhou didn't come back.

Weapons cannot be used in front of the emperor, so he performed a fist fight for His Majesty the emperor.I know that the people standing next to the Long Live Lord are all experts, anyway, it is not for these people to see, no matter how fancy it is, it is very powerful and quite admirable.Of course, after the performance, the emperor must ask the cause and effect.Seeing that no one mentioned the matter of his younger sister, Zizhou felt relieved, so he picked a few legendary and interesting stories about the "red-browed hero" and told them, which made Long Yan very happy.

Seeing that several high-level audience members were in a good mood, it was a good opportunity to solve the "broken ship incident", but Zizhou's heart made one twist after another, and his perfunctory words were like a thorny thorn, always stuck in his throat. Not coming.Since the first clue of his life experience, this is the first time he has faced the emperor and his uncle Guo who was promoted to grand master, and his emotions are complicated.Of the two opposite, one occupies the supreme throne and the other holds the highest authority.Now the mood is very different, and I can see the meaning of wearing a monkey and wearing a crown.

Realizing this, he became calmer.Respectfully reported to the emperor, and apologized to the grand master and the commander: he accidentally destroyed the treasure ship of the Hou's mansion while talking about saving lives.He could not bear to hold back and praised the third young master Ning, saying that he is "benevolent and virtuous, and deeply understands righteousness".

Ning Shuyuan nodded and said with a smile: "Saving someone's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. A few pieces of wood, what's the point?" The quilt Zhou mentioned it, and by the way, he thought of the young grandson who can't see the end of the dragon.Look at the nephew and son: "It's rare that Tian'er is so sensible, whenever he has the opportunity, he should be taught to practice..."

Zhao Ju asked, "Why didn't Ning Tian's name appear in the last round of autumn exams?"

Ning Que sighed: "Speaking of it is a joke for His Majesty, this unscrupulous thing, all day long for fun and not doing business..."

Ning Shuyuan interrupted his son: "Tian'er is just late to understand, coupled with indifference, and impatient with those vain etiquette and vulgar affairs. I think, if there is really something, I can still bear it..."

Zhao Ju tilted his head, and An Chen stepped forward behind him, and said: "Your Majesty, the three military, criminal and industrial departments all have the post of "doctor", which is between civil and military, or the third young master intends..." Director An said at the same time , taking a peek at Uncle Guo's expression from the corner of his eye.Seeing that Ning Shuyuan didn't respond, he didn't stop talking: "In addition...the various supervisors of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there are a few supervisors who are not very effective, and they just need a reliable person to take care of them - just to take care of the tedious chores, it would be wronged to the third young master ..."

Before the emperor could answer, Ning Shuyuan nodded his head: "Tian'er is still young, so he should work hard and learn to do more practical things."

Hearing this, Zhao Ju followed his uncle's wishes and said, "He doesn't want to deal with scientific research, and it's not bad to take the pragmatic path of being in charge. Xiao Anzi, tell the king of Thailand later, and ask Ning Tian to leave next month. Go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to help." The King of Thailand is the emperor's only surviving sibling prince, and he is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Because of his frailty and sickness, he did not accompany him on such a lively occasion tonight.

Ning Yu stood up and kowtowed to thank his son.

In order to avoid the trouble of visiting the house for compensation, Zizhou said a few flattering words against his will, despising himself all the time in his heart.He almost spit out his dinner when he heard Uncle Guo comment that his grandson was "indifferent to fame and fortune".Listening to it further down, one's lungs would almost explode: In just the blink of an eye, the Nings and his sons pretended to be singing together, and stuffed their own family into the most important department of the palace.

With Zizhou's familiarity with laws and regulations, he naturally knew that the Ministry of Internal Affairs controlled the entire royal family's logistics work, and had money and connections that ordinary courtiers could not imagine.Since the middle period of the dynasty, due to the abundant treasury and the luxury of the royal family, the establishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has also been continuously upgraded and expanded.The position of supervisor should be at least from the fifth rank.Even if an ordinary person becomes a Jinshi and spends his whole life in the officialdom, he may not be able to reach this level.He, Ning Tian, ​​had never even entered the gate of the examination room, yet he dared to wear purple hairpin tassels and stand in front of the court, which is really ridiculous!

But... Then again, the so-called "House of Internal Affairs" is in charge of the Royal Household Affairs.Even if Zuo Xiang and the admonishing doctor were present, I am afraid it would not be good to talk about the emperor's appointment.

Zizhou knew that his face was probably not very good-looking, so he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and warned himself not to speak nonsense.I also remembered that although Uncle Guo had only one son, he had three grandsons.The two elders have already been admitted to official positions, one is a servant in the Ministry of Officials, and the other is the head of the Ministry of Punishment—Ning Sanshao refuses to study, and cannot enter the three provinces and six departments. No wonder his grandfather and father want to get him into the Ministry of Internal Affairs go……

The emperor over there suddenly remembered that Si Wenlang had been left alone for a long time, so he talked a few more words about the topic of "the red-browed hero", casually praised him, and sent someone to send the depressed Si Wenlang back with a lot of rewards.

Zi Zhou Xie'en resigned, and as soon as he walked out of the main cabin, he saw a patrol boat speeding across the water, and soon arrived in front of him.The patrol on the ship led the two soldiers to the servants on the deck.Judging by the colors and attires of the two men, they were clearly military messengers—could it be that there was an urgent report from the front?

I was secretly worried, but I couldn't stop under my feet.After boarding the small boat, just after sailing for a short distance, I heard the shouts of long live in the dragon boat behind me.Soon the servants stood on the bow and announced loudly: "The decree of the sage: the soldiers of Fenglanguan defeated the Xirong bandits, and the soldiers and the people are specially ordered to celebrate!" The surrounding soldiers shouted together: "The soldiers of Fenglanguan defeated the Xirong bandits, Tell the people, let the whole world celebrate!... Tell the people, let the whole world celebrate!..."

The good news quickly spread to the crowd, men and women, old and young, smiled and danced, creating a sea of ​​joy in an instant.

Zizhou was standing on the boat that sent him off, and Zishi was sitting in the big boat of Yuan's family. The two brothers had an unbelievable sense of illusion at the same time.

Except for the emperor's dragon boat and the escorting boats, all the following boats docked at Enrongfang Wharf.Everyone knelt down and respectfully sent off the royal driver, and each went ashore to go home.

Fu Chuqing took a few guards and servants, and quietly sent the two oiran ladies to the palace.After waiting for the female officials to verify their integrity and everything was in order, they turned around and prepared to return to the emperor.Guessing that Yuzhou had already left Zhulan Street, he simply waited at Enrongfang Wharf.

It turned out that after Boss Fu entered the Lifang Division, he was promoted several levels because of his outstanding performance.Ning Mao saw that he had studied, handled things well, was able to come to work, and was good at martial arts, so he nominated him to be the inspector of the internal guards, and sent him to the emperor's side to accept the errand of the Lord Long Live.He did the most work of pimping the emperor, and he was trusted and appreciated.In addition to Mr. Fu himself being clever and well-behaved, the main reason is that he has an advantage that no one else can compare to: Everyone in Xijing City knows that, unlike those uncles who eat all meat and vegetables, Mr. Fu has to be masculine and has no interest in women. interest.In Zhao Ju's eyes, such a capable minister is more convenient to do things outside than the servants inside, and he is at ease in and out of the court, so of course he should make good use of it.

Signaling to call a patrol boat over, Fu Chuqing ordered the oarsmen to hurry up and catch up with Yuzhou.Standing at the stern with his hands behind his back, he habitually glanced at everyone on the shore.Suddenly there was a huge shock all over his body, and he shouted: "Stop!"

Zi Shi walked ahead, seeing his younger brother and sister being held back by people from the Yuan Mansion to say goodbye, so he avoided the flow of people, stood on the side of the pier, turned around and waited.He felt that someone was staring at him, and was about to look up, but Wang Zonghan squeezed over to talk again, and insisted on sending two other servants to take him home.Zi Shi laughed: "Brother Wang, could it be that he forgot so quickly, what kind of skills are my brothers and sisters?"

Wang Zonghan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Look at my brain, I saw you standing here, and I just thought about it getting dark late at night, and I forgot about this..."

At this time Zizhou and Zigui also came over, some people recognized them and nodded their heads.Those who missed the exciting scene tonight, naturally looked around and asked, and there was another commotion.The three brothers and sisters saluted again, and finally walked forward surrounded by everyone in the same company.

The figure like light snow and flowing clouds was instantly overwhelmed by the crowd, and Fu Chuqing suddenly woke up.He turned his head and ordered his subordinates: "Immediately find out whose boat it is - that is, the one with the double carp lights in front. Let me know all the people present on the boat tonight, the sooner the better!"

According to the rules of the Jinxia Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a three-day holiday from the [-]th to the [-]th.On August [-]th, most of the night was full of noise because of watching the moon and lanterns last night. Almost everyone didn't get up for a long time, and the street was quiet.

In the afternoon, a delicate green woolen sedan chair arrived in front of the gate of Li's House, No. [-], West Road, Enrongfang.A well-dressed young man stepped forward to recognize the house number, and began to knock on the door with courtesy and style.

Zi Shi rubbed his eyes and yawned. He had nowhere to vent his anger when he got out of bed, so he had to criticize Li Wen for his flustered behavior and ordered him to stop breathing before he could speak.It was the first time I saw the eldest young master so lazy and confused, full of anger and anger, Li Wen was stunned for a while, and sure enough, he stopped breathing, straightened his expression, and began to pass on the message.

"What did you say? Zhendinghou's Mansion?!" Zi Shi suddenly stood up.

"Yes, the person who came here said that it was the nurse of the Hou's mansion, sent by the lady of the young master, to see the second young master. I think it's better to come and tell the young master first..." Seeing that the young master got his wish and was startled by himself, Li Wen endured Laughing until his face trembled.

Having no time to talk to this bastard, Zi Shi made quick calculations and gave an order: "Please invite the guests to watch tea in the front hall, and let Xiao Ge Xiao Qu greet you nicely. Ask Zi Zhou and Zi Gui to come to my place."

After returning home last night, the two brothers told their sister about the accident of Ning Sanshao's love at first sight, and Zi Gui was so angry that his pretty face turned red.

Zi Shi praised in a delirious way: "Mu Shaoai knows lust, this Young Master Ning has a bad reputation, but he has a good eye..." He almost became the target of his siblings venting their anger because of this, and it took a long time for the twins to calm down and sit down. Listen to him talk about the secrets of the art of war on "how beautiful women deal with men".

At the beginning, the youthful boys and girls blushed almost to the point of bleeding, and their heads were so low that they almost stuck their heads into the ground.After getting used to it for a while, Zizhou suddenly stood up, wanting to refute the absurdity of his elder brother.He took a few breaths, and before he could make a sound, he slammed a chestnut shell back on the quilt: "Sit down! Teaching Zigui how to deal with men is like teaching you, a goose, how to chase girls. It's a matter of life. It's as important as your imperial examination, so don't listen carefully to me!"

Zizhou muttered: "I don't want to hear about lifelong plans..."

Zi Shi put on a straight face: "The way of couples is the law of nature and human relations. There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and having no offspring is the greatest. The saint still thinks it is okay to marry without telling, why are you awkward here? When you really meet someone you like, you just stare and worry. , that’s called bad at home..."

The young man was trained to be rebellious, and said: "Why don't you go yourself? I think you are just talking on paper..."

Zigui had been half-covering his ears shyly, but now he couldn't pretend anymore, so he pulled Zizhou back: "Don't talk to big brother like this!"

Zi Shi was forced to be speechless by his younger brother's rhetorical question. He stayed for a while, and then sighed: "The insight of the world is knowledge, and the understanding of human feelings is the article. The matter of Ning Sanshao can't be hard or soft. It falls on the word "Zhou Xuan". Only when we have dealt with it well, can there be a turn for the better, or make him retreat in the face of difficulties, or make him feel tired... If we refuse to deal with it, unless we fly away immediately, we are afraid that we will die and destroy the city. It may not be possible to..."

Zigui bowed his head in silence for a while, then raised his head and said, "Brother, I understand."

As a result, the emergency plan discussion and puberty education lasted until dawn, and the three of them fell asleep separately.The younger sister knew everything, Zi Shi felt a lot more relaxed, and just wanted to sleep soundly for half a day in peace.He slept deeply, but was haunted by successive nightmares.At this time Li Wen suddenly knocked on the door, no wonder he was upset.

Soon Zi Zhou Zi returned to his capital, and when he heard that it was people from Zhending Hou's mansion who came to the door, they couldn't help being stunned.

It's better to be famous than to meet each other. After tidying up a little, the three of them went to the hall to meet the guests.

After meeting, I found out that although the visitor was only a wet nurse, there were seven or eight bearers, maids, and servants accompanying him, and his ostentation was more than that of ordinary mistresses.The clothes are generous and noble, and the conversation and behavior are dignified and decent.After seeing the ceremony, unexpectedly formally presented the letter of greeting to Mrs. Gaoming, the second rank.After many polite remarks, they all came up with one meaning: Si Wenlang and his siblings were invited to walk across the house to talk.

The three brothers and sisters exchanged glances: they thought they would be sent by Master Ning, but it turned out that they were not.Zi Shi and Zi Zhou looked at each other again, with some doubts in their hearts, but they didn't expect it to happen so quickly.The other party extended an invitation to Si Wenlang out of social etiquette. Zi Shi was called the eldest brother, but he was in white, so it was inconvenient to intervene, and he did not plan to intervene.Seeing that his elder brother didn't give instructions, Zizhou first used a procrastination formula: "Thanks to Mrs. Zunfu's kindness, my brother and sister will definitely pay a return visit someday."

The person who came here probably didn't expect that the Zhendinghou's mansion would be rejected if they invite someone to be a guest, and their expression was slightly stagnant.Immediately he said eagerly: "Since I saw your lord and your sister's righteous deeds last night, Madam has been admiring her for a long time, so I would like to express my warmest regards..."

Zi Zhou turned his head in embarrassment: the younger sister was probably feeling confused, and she was frowning slightly; the older brother looked calm and calm, saying that encouraging was not like encouraging, saying that opposing was not like being opposed, and that leisurely look seemed to be watching a show... Humph, Zizhou remembered that the older brother beside him has been more and more fond of leaving his younger brother to face difficulties alone, and he even calls it experience and so on...

In the end, under Ai Ai's hesitation during the sub-cycle period, the twins went to visit with the people from the Hou Mansion.

Before the two left, Zi Shi asked Yin Ping to prepare a car for the young lady.Zigui suddenly said, "Brother, can I ride a horse too?"

Since moving, in order to take care of his image, Si Wenlang's elder brother and younger sister could no longer show his face casually like before, so they simply bought a cart and a horse, complete with silver saddle brocade curtains, coachman and stable boy, sheds and stables... together.In addition to practicing, Zigui occasionally got on his horse and strolled around the yard twice, but he endured not riding out.

After listening to his younger sister's request, Zi Shi knew what this girl was up to.Think about it, the limelight was obvious last night, there is no need to hide it, it's better to follow her whim.He nodded and said, "Alright."

Zigui changed into an emerald green multicolored gown with small sleeves and large swing, with a wide embroidered brocade waist, a small section of tight-fitting trousers and soft satin leather boots exposed under the hem.Although the customs in Shu were open, the women who really dared to go out on horseback were limited to women who had to go to the rivers and lakes to do business and some girls of the Yi nationality.Zigui's attire was modeled on the style of riding clothes of Xiqiang women. Because of its chic and neatness, he likes to wear it when he practices kung fu on weekdays.

Seeing her dressed like this, the wet nurse of Hou's mansion led the horse out, and was dumbfounded.Zigui thought proudly: "Surely you are scared? How can I be easily provoked by this heroine!" Unaware of the other party's expression, she was inexplicably moved and tears welled up in her eyes.

Zi Shi sighed and smiled as he watched his younger siblings go away.

——In the capsule of the cone, the sharpness is self-evident.The bright pearl casts darkness, and it is difficult to hide its brilliance.Since it can't be covered, let's show it all.

I feel very sleepy, but I can't fall asleep anyway. I walk around from the front yard to the back yard, and from the back yard to the front yard.The servants knew his habits and did not dare to disturb him casually.After Shen Shi, Wei Niang came to ask for instructions for dinner, Zi Shi waved his hand: "You eat yours, leave me alone."

Wait until it gets dark.The twins came in and handed the horse to Yin Ping and Yin An's backyard to settle down. Then Zi Gui complained: "Zi Zhou, what's the matter with you? I kept talking to Mrs. Ning. She said she would stay for dinner, and I If you keep staring at you, pretend you didn't see..."

"Don't you think... Mrs. Ning is actually quite kind?"

"That's right, but—" looked up and saw Zi Shi standing in front of the steps, "ah, big brother."

Zi Shi had a smile on his face, but there was a hint of reproach in his tone: "It's too impolite to eat at someone's house the first time I come here."

"It's all Zi Zhou's fault! If it wasn't for him..."

Zizhou stopped his sister's words: "Brother, Mrs. Ning... is very interested in the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, and asked a lot about Tongcheng. I couldn't help it for a while, so I said a few more words..."

"Oh? What did you talk about, let's listen to it."

The three of them entered the study room, and the twins talked to each other carefully, reporting what they had seen and heard in the Hou Mansion.At the end, Zizhou had something in his words, and he said to the elder brother: "Mrs. Ning asked about my family background several times, but I didn't say much about it. But... I heard that elder brother raised us all these years, Madam was very moved and said yes - I really want to see elder brother .” There was hope in the tentative tone.

Zi Shihui gave him a reassuring look, and said, "It's okay to meet when the time is right." He thought to himself: The siblings have returned safely, unscathed.The other party threw stones to ask for directions, which was quite kind.The matter has come to this point, the only thing to do is to see the trick.Maybe, let nature take its course, but there is something wrong with it.Standing up, smiling and walking out.My heart relaxed, my tongue slipped, and I teased the twins: "Mrs. Ning appreciates you two so much, but it's a pity that there are only three young masters in the Hou Mansion, and no fourth young lady or fifth young lady..."

"Brother! You are really..." Zigui waved his pink fist behind him.

Zizhou recalled the embarrassing lesson in the middle of the night, and felt revengeful, and grinned at his back: "I almost forgot, Mrs. Ning also specifically mentioned that I want to marry my eldest brother."

Just as Zi Shi was about to step out the door, he accidentally bumped his toe against the threshold and bounced back in pain.He refused the help of the two people, supported the wall and rubbed it a few times, and walked slowly back to the room.Secretly said: "Stinky boy! When did you become so sharp? What is this called? Dig a hole and bury yourself..."

late at night.

There was a misty white light in the yard.The sixteenth moon is big and round, as if it is hanging on the corner of the eaves, looking at the people in the house affectionately.

With a slight "squeak", Zi Zhou quietly walked out of the door and stood on the porch, staring blankly at the moon, thinking about something.

After a while, another "squeak" sound was heard, and the door of the west wing on the opposite side also opened.Zigui left the room, with the same air as him, and stood on the porch looking at the moon.

The clouds were thicker and thicker, and the moon disappeared.Finally, Zi Zhou said softly and slowly: "Zi Gui. There is one thing... Big Brother knows, I know, but you don't."

Silent for a long time, just when he was about to continue, he suddenly heard the same tone on the face, and said softly and slowly: "Zi Zhou, I also have one thing... Big brother knows, I know, but you don't know .”
