As soon as Zhao Yuzhi ascended the throne, he paid lightly and poorly.After changing the extravagant style of Emperor Xuan, some veteran officials were so excited that tears filled their eyes.

It was just because of the emperor's sudden death that Zhao Yuzhi was overwhelmed. Except for showing up at the enthronement ceremony, the rest was recuperating in the harem.Military and state affairs are all decided by the queen mother behind the curtain.This raising is half a year.

And the power of the Wen family is even more powerful.When officials from other places enter the capital, they will not only go to their immediate superiors, but also go to Wenfu to pay homage to the pier.

Because of his meritorious service in finding King Ping, Pei Zifu served as the prime minister of Dali Temple.Although the official is not very big, only rank six, but for Pei Zifu, who was born as a family general, it can be regarded as a step up to the sky.

In the past six months, Cheng Yu came to the capital.He silently stared at the direction of the city gate for a long time, and resolutely set foot on this land.

As soon as he entered the city gate, a group of people flew towards him, frightening the surrounding people to give way.

"In broad daylight, where are the lunatics riding horses in the street!"

Someone immediately covered the man's mouth: "Shh, keep your voice down, that's a well-known dandy in the capital, the second son of General Feng!"

When the man heard that it was Feng Ningping, he immediately fell silent, cursing inwardly.

"Just relying on family status to bully others, look at his brother Feng Ningxiang, and look at this young master, I really don't know how two kinds of melons can grow on one vine."

Cheng Yu found a booth and sat down, asked the shop owner for a bowl of clear noodles, just as he picked up the noodles, a young man sat across from Cheng Yu.

"Why no eggs?"

Cheng Yu bit the noodles, "No money."

"How did you get here all the way?"

"Come over."

After a while of silence, Xia Ziqiu also asked the boss for a bowl of clear noodles with a poached egg.Pass it to Cheng Yu.

“One bowl doesn’t seem to be enough!”

Cheng Yu was not too polite, he ate up the two bowls of noodles and the clear soup.

Just as Xia Ziqiu handed out the handkerchief, Cheng Yu had already wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve.

"Did your father send you here?"

Xia Ziqiu took back the handkerchief and nodded, "Father, he misses you very much. After receiving your letter, he asked me to stay in front of the city gate for the past few days."

Cheng Yu carefully looked at the younger brother in front of him, for Ziqiu.Regardless of Cheng Yu's past life or present life, his definition has always been that of strangers.

"Now, my brother is back, and our family is finally reunited. Your father has kept your room for you and has it cleaned every day. Some of your weapons..."

Speaking of this, Xia Ziqiu suddenly stopped talking. He had noticed Cheng Yu's walking posture since the moment he entered the city gate. A man with a broken leg seemed to be useless again.Cheng Yu didn't pay much attention to it either, if this matter happened to him in his previous life, he would definitely be worried about it.

Seeing Cheng Yu standing up, his body shook.Xia Ziqiu quickly reached out to help him, but Cheng Yu raised his hand to stop him, groped for a long time from his bosom, and took out a few copper plates with gaps.

Xia Ziqiu hurriedly paid the money before Cheng Yu.Afterwards, he took Cheng Yu to an inn, let Cheng Yu take a bath, and went to the cloth shop to buy a robe for Cheng Yu.

When Cheng Yu finished washing and walked out of the room, the down and out lame Taoist turned into a suave son.

However, Cheng Yu is still carrying that slightly tattered cage.Xia Ziqiu hurried forward and took the cage from Cheng Yu's body.He said kindly: "Brother, I will help you carry it!"

Cheng Yu didn't stop him either.When the two left the inn, there was already a servant waiting in front of the carriage.Cheng Yu closed his eyes and fell asleep after getting into the carriage.

The speed of the carriage was extremely fast, and Cheng Yu could barely feel the bumps while sitting in it.

At this time, Cheng Yu suddenly heard a long neigh from the horse, and a group of people blocked their way.

The box Xia Ziqiu put at his feet shook and fell to the ground, and a jar rolled out of it.The jar was only the size of a palm, and Xia Ziqiu just wanted to bend down to pick it up.

"Don't touch him!"

Looking back, Cheng Yu opened his eyes at some point, and looked at him with complicated eyes.

Ziqiu withdrew his hand in fright: "Brother!? What's wrong? What's in it?"

The cage was very broken, and Xia Ziqiu saw some yellow talismans and the like from the hole. Thinking of Xia Yu who was dressed as a Taoist priest when he saw Xia Yu before, he thought it might be some ghost-exorcism talismans and the like.Cheng Yu picked up the jar and turned back.

"That's human ashes!"

Ziqiu's scalp felt a little numb, and then the door curtain was lifted by the servant.

"Master, the carriage was stopped by the second son of the Feng family?"

Ziqiu poked his head out of the carriage and smiled at Feng Ningping who was riding on the horse: "Second Young Master, don't come here without any problems!"

"I heard that brother Xia returned to the capital today, and went out of the city to pick him up, but I didn't expect to be preempted by Master Xiao Xia!"

Although Xia Ziqiu is young, he has also held idle positions in the Ministry of Rites. He is young and mature.Cheng Yu heard Feng Ningping's voice and raised the curtains.Feng Ningping was no different from the youth he remembered.

After a while, the carriage sank slightly, and a person came in stepping on the pedal.

Ziqiu said, "Won't Commander Feng patrol the imperial city?"

Feng Ningping found a seat to sit down, and the originally spacious carriage suddenly became a little crowded.He waved his hand, "I'm not in charge today."

The carriage arrived at the Hou Mansion smoothly, and Feng Ningping got out of the carriage first.An old slave had already stepped forward to meet him.

"Master is back!" Seeing Cheng Yu who was getting off the carriage, he was stunned for a moment.

Xia Ziqiu was afraid that the old slave would say something unpleasant, so he quickly stretched his head over, but it was too late.The old slave looked Cheng Yu up and down: "Who is this young master?"

Feng Ningping on the side shouted loudly: "I'm used to seeing Bodhisattvas made of mud, but today, the young master of the Hou's Mansion is standing in front of you, and he doesn't even recognize him!"

The old slave was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost knelt on the ground.His body was lightly supported by a man in red.

Wen Ming said with a smile: "Commander Feng is used to playing prestige, he must be playing in the wrong place! See clearly that the plaque is written on the Changping Marquis Mansion, not the Zhen Guo General's Mansion!"

Xia Ziqiu jumped out of the carriage, stopped between two groups of people, and made a mess.

"Brother, cousin. Let's enter the mansion quickly!" He looked around, and Feng Ningping yelled loudly, attracting many spectators.

Feng Ningping was originally looking for a place for Cheng Yu, so he wouldn't leave easily.The more people who can't wait to come, the better.

"Everyone, the young master is returning to the capital today! Everyone here, please come to the restaurant tomorrow, and all the food and drinks will be counted on me!"

The surrounding crowd cheered in unison.

Wen Ming watched Feng Ningping's every move with cold eyes, grabbed Ziqiu and dragged him into the mansion.After Feng Ningping made a fuss, the news quickly spread throughout the capital.

"So it's Xia Yu who returned to Beijing?"

Someone was puzzled: "Who is Xia Yu?"

The man looked contemptuous: "You just came to the capital not long ago. This Xia Yu is the only remaining blood of the Cheng family. Although his surname is Xia, the Grand Master's Mansion was in full swing at that time, so this child has been raised in the Grand Master's Mansion!"

When Grand Master Cheng was mentioned, everyone understood.He is the deadly enemy of the Wen family.

"If the Cheng family hadn't fallen, even if the child had crushed ten Wen Ming to death, he wouldn't have hurt a single hair!"

"Now that the young master is back, it seems that there are some good shows in the capital again!"

But now Cheng Yu, who was in the Hou's mansion, naturally couldn't hear other people's comments.

Feng Ningping followed Cheng Yu all the way into the waiting mansion, and the maids and servants around saw them hiding in the corner one after another, watching them quietly,

With the cage on his back, Cheng Yu said softly, "Thank you!"

Feng Ningping walked to the front quickly and turned his head and smiled when he heard the words: "Thank you, we are brothers who grew up. At that time, you were framed by that kid from the Wen family. If my brother didn't stop me, I would definitely beat that kid! "

Wen Ming, who was turning the corner, moved his ears and couldn't help rubbing the space between his eyebrows.

Xia Ziqiu, who was being dragged away, saw Wen Ming's movements and couldn't help asking: "Cousin, what's wrong with you!"

"It's nothing, it's just that I can't prevent someone from saying bad things behind my back!"

Cheng Yu was slightly touched, Feng Ningping's indiscriminate trust, obviously he broke Wen Ming's leg at the beginning, in Feng Ningping's eyes, it became Wen Ming's trick for him.

Although Feng Ningping was used to being wild outside, when he was in front of Xia Ye, he looked like a sensible nephew.He saluted Xia Ye respectfully.

The father and son did not exchange too many greetings, and said some insignificant words.Cheng Yu returned from Xia Ye's study to his small yard.

In the yard, there are some wooden figures that only reach Cheng Yu's waist. This is where Cheng Yu used to practice boxing and kicking.Push open the door, put the cage on the table, and take out a jar from it.Cheng Yu placed the jar in the most conspicuous position and stared at it for a long time.

"Zhuzi, Junior Brother will definitely avenge you!"

In the evening, someone knocked on Cheng Yu's door.Ziqiu said outside: "Brother, it's time to eat!"

Cheng Yu pushed open the door and brought a few rays of afterglow into the room.

However, Cheng Yu's meal was a little dull.Said it was a family banquet, but only three people came.

Xia Ziqiu, while serving food for Cheng Yu, tried to ease the atmosphere.

"Brother, these are all your favorite dishes. Father specially ordered the kitchen to cook them. How about you try them?"

Cheng Yu took a sip and said with a smile: "It's really good, my father still remembers what I like to eat."

Xia Ye coughed slightly, and then said, "Yu'er is 23 this year?"

It has been ten years since Cheng An was expelled from the capital at the age of 13.Slightly nodded.

"Has the coronation ceremony been done?"

Cheng Yu's eyes sank and he replied, "Okay, Master did it for me."

"Yu'er, I have already heard about your junior brother from Ming'er, by the way."

Cheng Yu was silent.

"Now you have grown up, and you have reached the age of marriage. I remember that when you were young, you were very close to the little girl from the Lu family. I also met that child a few days ago. "

Cheng Yu's hands trembled slightly. In his previous life, although he and Miss Lu were married, their life after marriage was hard to describe.At that time, he had just entered Beijing, and no family in the capital dared to marry his daughter to him.

Later, when talking about this marriage, Cheng Yu was still secretly excited in his heart.After getting married, Cheng Yu realized that Miss Cheng's thoughts were not on him at all.

Cheng Yu lowered his eyes, "Lord Lu's daughter is a daughter of a thousand pieces of gold, a son is not worthy of her!"

Xia Ye put down the chopsticks, thinking that Cheng Yu cared about her broken leg, and comforted her: "Don't worry, you are the son of my Changping Houfu, and this family will be yours from now on!"

Xia Ziqiu, who was serving Cheng Yu's dishes, gave a small meal.

"Father Ming went to the palace and invited an imperial doctor to take a good look at your legs!"

After eating, Cheng Yu limped back to his yard, and when he passed the corner, he heard a timid cry.

"Daddy is partial. I asked him for that yard for so long, but he didn't want to give it to me. Why should he give it to him as soon as he comes. Didn't he say he loves me the most?"

Cheng Yu stopped, and in the flowers around the corner, a girl in pink held Xia Ziqiu with one hand, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief in the other.

"There is also the second boy of the Feng family, who looks like he is fighting for justice, as if our Xia family treated him badly. His father has been depressed for so many years, and he has been making things difficult in the court. He just married the Cheng family..."

Xia Ziqiu immediately interrupted, with some anger: "Zizhi, don't talk nonsense!" Then he felt that his tone seemed too serious, so he slowed down his voice.He hugged his sister distressedly, "No matter what, he is our brother, and his surname is Xia!"

Xia Zizhi also seemed to forget to cry when Ziqiu drank like this.Ziqiu stroked his sister's beautiful hair and shook his head helplessly.His eyes caught a light-colored robe inadvertently, and he recognized that he bought it with his own hands today.

When Cheng Yu returned to the courtyard, there were servant girls who had been at his disposal for a long time standing on both sides, sneaking a glance at Cheng Yu from time to time, his eyes were full of scrutiny and speculation.It's just that this scrutiny is just right, between respect and speculation, it makes people not easy to get angry.

Cheng Yu had long been unaccustomed to being served, so after sending out all the servant girls, he lay down on the bed.Close your eyes and meditate, and stroke your thoughts by the way.
