The Bamboo Horse Dressed as the Emperor

Xie Erye raised the knife, but Mr. Xie didn't let anyone stop him. Instead, he ordered Fan Kai: "Go, watch Chen Su closely, let them chop at each other, don't let them come again, what is it?"

Old Master Xie pulled Song Jiao and Xie Chen to his side: "I will be sent away tomorrow, you two are not allowed to see him, and you will be taken away again."

Not long after, Chen Su's screams came from the back hall, and the second lady's wailing came from the hall again.

Master Xie sternly said again: "Fan Kai, tell him to stop howling and shut up!"

Chen Su's voice gradually faded away, Master Xie tightly grasped the hands of Xie Chen and Song Jiao, hurting both of them, obviously very angry.

Song Jiao turned around and held his hand: "Grandpa, you'll be fine."

At this time, Song Jiao realized that Mr. Xie's hands were also trembling slightly.

Old Master Xie seldom has the majestic idea of ​​Tianjia, he just uses his extremely simple bandit thinking to worry about the lives of two people.

After all, she is the daughter-in-law who has been together for more than ten years. She has never made any mistakes, and she was harmed by her son.If there is something wrong with her, second master Xie cannot be blamed for this life.

I don't know how long it took before Mrs. Xie stumbled out of the room with blood on her hands.

She shook her head towards Mr. Xie, but before she could speak, Mr. Xie couldn't stand and fell backwards.

Song Jiao and Xie Chen quickly supported him: "Grandpa?!"

The second wife's child was not saved, the second wife was still unconscious, and Mr. Xie also collapsed.

At the second lady's side, Mrs. Xie was taking care of her. Song Jiao didn't know how to take care of the pregnant woman, so she just went in to have a look, and then was kicked out.

He and Xie Chen didn't go to class all day today, so they stayed with Mr. Xie.

Mr. Xie had a severe headache, and the doctor prescribed medicine, but it didn't help. He said that when he was young, his energy and blood were too high, and he always went up. Now that he is old, the root cause of the disease remains.

Song Jiao sat on the side of the couch, wrung out the towel soaked in hot water, and applied it over and over again, changing the towel when it got cold, and changed a dozen pots of hot water.

Mr. Xie gritted his teeth for a while, and panted for a while.

Song Jiao looked at him worriedly, and wanted to change another scarf for him, but he grabbed his sleeve.

Song Jiao went over with his ear, Xie Chen saw this, and also stepped forward to listen to the order.

Song Jiao asked, "What orders does Grandpa have?"

Master Xie raised his head slightly, and whispered a few words in his ear: "News...blocked..."

Song Jiao immediately understood: "Grandpa means that the matter of Grandpa's illness and the matter of Second Aunt should not be spread, right?"

Master Xie nodded, and Song Jiao also nodded: "Okay, then I will tell Uncle Fan Kai now, let him tell the people who serve in the side hall today."

Master Xie breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly raised his voice again: "Afternoon... the study..."

Song Jiao and Xie Chen looked at each other. When Song Jiao didn't quite understand, Xie Chen understood: "Grandpa, the courtiers are discussing matters in the study this afternoon. You can't go. Let my father go, right?"

Master Xie nodded his head, but raised his hand reluctantly, and patted Xie Chen on the shoulder.

Xie Chen asked again: "Grandpa asked Mao Mao and me to go too."

Mr. Xie stopped talking, raised his hand to cover his forehead, turned inside, and was going to sleep.

Xie Chen tugged at Song Jiao's sleeve: "Grandpa, let's go then."

He pulled Song Jiao, and the two of them withdrew like this.

In the study room, Prime Minister Song and several civil servants were already waiting. Seeing the two of them coming, they couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Song Jiao twitched the corners of his mouth, and forced a smile to cover it up: "I had dinner with Grandpa Xie at noon today. Grandpa Xie said, let Brother Shen and I come over to exercise. He drank some wine by himself, and now he is dizzy, so he won't come. Wait a moment and godfather will come too."

This is indeed something Mr. Xie can do, just being lazy.

Fortunately, today's matter is not that important, several ministers also recognize them, treat them kindly, let them stay together.

Song Jiao walked to his grandfather and sat with him: "Grandpa."

Grandpa Song probably knew something, but he didn't expose it: "Well, didn't you help Grandpa approve the papers last year? Let's see if you have regressed later."

"Yes."

As soon as Xie Chen and Song Jiao left, Mr. Xie, whose back was facing outside, sat up covering his head.

He shouted: "Fan Kai! Fan Kai!"

Fan Kai ran in: "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

"That little bastard, send him to Fengzhou immediately to guard his mother's tomb." Mr. Xie gritted his teeth and lowered his voice, "Just say it's a fief for him. When you get there, beat him to death directly, dare to do it under my nose Playing tricks, he deserves it."

Fan Kai bowed his head: "Yes."

Mr. Xie made a special request: "Don't leak the news, especially to Brother Shen and Mao Mao. They were two grown up with pets, and they have never seen such dirty things. The two bright and upright children were all killed by that little boy." The beast is disgusting."

"Yes."

"Be optimistic about the second master, he will cut himself if he likes to cut himself, anyway, he can't die. When Huijing wakes up, tell her about this matter..." Mr. Xie took a deep breath, "I, Xie's family, are sorry for her If she wants Second Master to be her cow or horse, then let Second Master serve her; if she wants to reconcile, I, the Xie family, will not treat her badly. When she is willing, I will personally bring Second Master to make amends to her .”

"Let the boss take over the unfinished business in the hands of the second master, let the boss watch over it, and distribute it to Brother Shen and Maomao to do it, so that they can try their hands."

After saying this in one breath, Master Xie slammed his head on the pillow with a "bang".

Fan Kai helped him a bit: "Your Majesty, don't get angry. The doctor said that this headache is the root of the problem when you are young."

"I'm going to die. This big family is not easy to worry about." Mr. Xie held Fan Kai's hand, "Think about it, in my life, when I was young, I was full of vigor, but when I was old, why did I become a That's it?"

Fan Kai sat down on the ground in front of the couch and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, rest assured."

"Think about it, when I married a wife when I was young, I spent the little money I had, which was not enough, so I borrowed it from you."

"Later, I became a bandit. After a while, I heard that Zhang Yuan's concubine and his wife had a quarrel, and then I heard that five or six sons of someone's family had a quarrel and split the old father's coffin. I was afraid. After death, after my wife died, I didn’t remarry, just guarded these two sons to live, and didn’t force them to do anything, I thought our family would be better.”

Master Xie pursed his lips, almost crying with grievance: "The result? The boss is a bit like me, but he doesn't have a heart; the second... I thought the second was good, smart, and knew how to advance and retreat, but this How did he pretend it? How did he pretend it for decades?"

Fan Kai held Mr. Xie's hand and comforted him: "Aren't there two more Your Highnesses? Both His Highnesses are good. His Highness Taisun has become more calm recently and has become an emperor; His Highness Song Jiao is also smart. If they No, why would His Majesty send them to the study?"

Master Xie shook his head: "It's too late, I'm afraid it's too late, I've been thinking a lot these days, if I die and leave these two children behind, what will they do? The boss can't count on them, the two of them..."

"Your Majesty is strong and strong, but the headache needs to be controlled. From now on, I will supervise His Majesty. When His Majesty gets angry, I will immediately persuade him. His Majesty will live a long life until the two Highnesses clear the obstacles." Fan Kai After thinking about it, "And Prime Minister Song, Prime Minister Song..."

"He's not feeling well, I'm afraid I'll go ahead of him."

Fan Kai said a few more words of comfort, and helped Mr. Xie change the scarf on his forehead. Mr. Xie fell asleep while talking.

Fan Kai asked someone to stand guard outside the door, and immediately went to the place where Chen Su was detained.

In the dark side hall, Chen Su sat in the corner with a blank expression on his face.His leg was chopped off by Second Master Xie, and it was simply bandaged, which was of no use, and blood continued to flow out, soaking half of his clothes.

Fan Kai looked at him, and his eyes were full of undisguised hatred: "Your Majesty is kind enough to confer Fengzhou on Mr. Chen, so that Mr. Chen can stay with his mother forever, and he has fulfilled his filial piety."

When Chen Su heard this, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes lit up.

He just knew it, he just knew it.

Mr. Xie now only has two grandsons, he and Xie Chen, and he is still the eldest grandson. Ordinary rich and noble families would like to have more children, and Mr. Xie must be no exception. He is absolutely reluctant to execute himself.

Just go to the fiefdom for a few years, and when Mr. Xie calms down, he will be able to come back.

He made the right move.

Chen Su leaned on the wall, stood up tremblingly, walked to Fan Kai with a limp, bowed and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Fan Kai saw the faint smile on his face, but he didn't expect him to be able to smile even now. He raised his hand and pushed him to the ground: "Your Majesty rewarded me, kneel down and thank you."

Chen Su didn't struggle, and just knelt down so easily.

Fan Kai glanced at him, and said: "Mr. Chen is inconvenient to stay in the palace for a long time, so I will send Mr. Chen on the road."

Chen Su's everything about Fengxiang City, everything about this place, is obtained from books, dramas and rumors staged in the countryside during the years.

With a fief, shouldn't there be a ceremony?

He had some doubts, but he didn't dare to doubt. He was afraid that he would lose the fleeting opportunity, so he hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.

Just like that, Chen Su didn't even have to deal with the wound on his leg, so he was sent to a carriage wrapped tightly in black cloth and headed for his fief.

Fengzhou, the remote and remote place where he lived for more than ten years, where he was humiliated, is very different from Fengxiang City.

He returned home in good clothes, Chen Su endured the severe pain in his leg, thinking like this.

This time, the Second Madam didn't suffer from skin injuries like scalding and knife wounds in the past, and Song Jiao didn't dare to give her food from the system mall casually, for fear of making things worse, so she could only go to have a look from time to time.

On the third day, the second lady woke up slowly.

Mrs. Xie originally wanted to wait for a while until she recovered her body, but the matter could not be concealed after all. The second lady questioned her with tears in her eyes. I told her everything.

"Don't be sad, you're still young. You haven't woken up yet, the second master has been on a hunger strike for three days, and my father also said, whatever you do with him, he will treat him as if he doesn't have this son. Don't be sad."

Mrs. Xie looked around, then whispered to her ear again, "That little bastard, my father dragged it out and finished it, now it's all buried."

But no matter what he said, the second lady was stunned, blinked her eyes, and two lines of tears slipped out of her eyes.

Mrs. Xie could only hug her into her arms and wipe her tears: "Okay, okay, I don't feel like crying at this time, please stop crying."

Mrs. Xie coaxed her for a while, and the second lady finally cried out. With a crying tone, she just called out: "Sister-in-law."

"Okay, okay, it's okay." Mrs. Xie held her hand, only feeling that her hand was cold, "No matter what decision you make, sister-in-law will support you, don't be afraid."

It was also on this night that the carriage escorting Chen Su arrived outside Fengzhou City.

A guard lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to the people in the carriage: "Young Master Chen, you will be here soon, come down and take a breath, we will start our journey later."

"Okay." Chen Su got out of the carriage with his sick leg, and seeing the familiar scene around him, a strange and joyful feeling rose from the bottom of his heart.

He's finally back, and this is what he deserves.

Chen Su was out of his mind for a while, then turned around and saw that the guards who sent him to Fengzhou were digging a hole in an open space.

Chen Su limped over and asked, "What are you doing?"

The guards did not raise their heads, nor did they answer.

At this time, the moon came out of the dark clouds, and the moonlight was bright and clear, illuminating the wilderness and wilderness.

A feeling of terror and panic quickly replaced joy. Chen Su knew something was wrong, and took half a step back. Before he could escape, he was caught by the guards.

It's like grabbing a chick.

Chen Su struggled frantically: "I am your majesty's grandson, I am the emperor's grandson, I am the emperor's grandson, your majesty sealed me in Fengzhou, my surname is Xie, my surname is Xie!"

The guards threw him into the pit expressionlessly, and began to fill the pit with soil: "Your surname is Xie? If your surname is Xie, why doesn't His Majesty let you go on the family tree?"

Chen Su brushed away the dirt that fell on his face, and screamed like a ghost crying: "No, no, the guards around His Majesty told me that Fengzhou is my fief, and you are murdering the royal family. I want to tell Lord Fan! Let him punish you!"

The guards just filled the hole with soil, and they kept moving, and Chen Su kept yelling and cursing. Finally, one guard couldn't bear it anymore, jumped into the pit, grabbed his collar, and lifted him up.

"Lord Fan asked me to bring you a word. You are a bastard who doesn't know where you came from. At the beginning, you approached the two highnesses with conspiracy, and then almost killed two people. How can your majesty keep you?" ?”

"I don't know where I read it from the unofficial history book. Your Majesty treats the two highnesses well. That's because the two highnesses are good. What are you? You are extremely vicious, with a dirty heart and hands, and you really regard yourself as a treasure." .”

"You killed someone, and you still only think about your glory and wealth. Haven't you thought about killing someone and paying for it?"

Chen Su was coaxed into a daze by him, and when the guard let go, he slid and sat on the ground.

It's not like this, the big dramas he watched since he was a child are not like this. After the princes and grandchildren who have been living among the people are found, everything will go smoothly.

It shouldn't be like this, he climbed up by himself, he shouldn't...

Before Chen Su could finish thinking, he was knocked unconscious by a shovel.

A guard tried his breath and raised the shovel again: "Hurry up, finish your errands early, and return to your orders early."

During the period, Chen Su woke up in a trance. He lay flat on the bottom of the pit and saw the cold moonlight in the sky.

At that time, Song Jiao came to rescue him as if he had arranged for it.

At that time, he looked miserable on the surface, but in his heart he was laughing at Song Jiao's stupidity, such a simple plan would be fooled, and the talented and intelligent His Royal Highness Song Jiao was just like that.

But this time, Song Jiao will not come to rescue him again.

It's only three times, and Song Jiao has already rescued him twice.

Chen Su thought to himself, if he accepted Song Jiao's arrangement the first time, and worked as a small worker in Shijietang, how good would that be?

He can read books in Shijietang, Liu Yi and Jiang Ping are not bad in knowledge, more than enough to give him advice, Mr. Liu, who is famous all over the world, will definitely give him a few pointers for Liu Yi's sake.

After studying for two or three years, he will take the scientific examination, even if he does not do well in the examination, it doesn't matter.

He closed his eyes, his heart like stagnant water.

After a few months, the second lady's health has also recovered. Madam Xie accompanied her every day, and the two of them lived in the palace, eating and sleeping together. Madam Xie dared not leave for a moment, fearing that something might happen to her.

That day, Xie Shen and Song Jiao went to visit after school, and when they entered the door, they saw Second Master Xie kneeling at the entrance of the hall.

He often comes here to kneel, whenever he is free, he has lost weight and has an unshaven beard.But the second lady never saw him once.

The two of them were not surprised, and they were about to go in after bypassing him.

But this time, Second Master Xie shouted to them for the first time: "Brother Shen, maomao."

The two turned their heads, Second Master Xie continued: "Go in and persuade me, Second Aunt is leaving."

Song Jiao was furious, and replied to him: "If you want to go, you can go, if you want to stay, you can stay."

When the two of them went in, they saw some things piled up on the bed, the second lady was packing up, and Mrs. Xie was helping her to clean up, and wanted to persuade her.

"Don't worry about this matter, can I help you deal with it? Anyway, you are Mao Mao's godmother now, and I will recognize you as my god-sister. If you and the second master reconcile, you can still stay in a legitimate way, okay?"

Song Jiao called out, "Auntie?"

Then the second lady turned her head: "Maomao and Brother Shen are here?"

"Well, there's a new batch of fruits in the city. Brother Shen and I lined up to buy them for my aunt at noon." Song Jiao took out a large bag of mangoes from his schoolbag, "Because it took too long to transport them, the skins were a little bit Wrinkled, but still delicious."

Song Jiao smiled embarrassedly: "Brother Shen and I secretly ate one."

"Okay, then Auntie will eat on the way." The second lady waved to them, and then took out a package that had been prepared a long time ago, "Auntie will give you something too."

She sat down on the couch, opened the package, first took a ruby, and gave it to Song Jiao: "This is for Mao Mao. I still remember that the first time my aunt saw Mao Mao, Mao Mao liked this ruby. Is my gemstone hot? At that time, my aunt still liked this gemstone very much, so she was reluctant to give it to Maomao, so give it to Maomao now."

Song Jiao refused to accept it: "I don't want it, I was not sensible when I was young, so I should keep it with my aunt."

The second lady stuffed the gem into his hand: "I'll give it to you, Auntie will find better gems in the future."

Song Jiao shook her head and was about to shed tears: "Auntie, no one will dare to bully you if you stay here. I recognize you as a godmother, and I will protect you in the future. Otherwise, I will make another arrangement. Auntie wants Where are you going? I will send a few people to accompany Auntie, how can Auntie do it alone?"

"No need, it's clean for Auntie to go alone. Auntie still has some real estate in Yunzhou, which was saved when she was young. It's okay." The second lady pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and calmed down. , and continued to send gifts, "This belongs to Brother Shen. Brother Shen liked this little wooden sword when he was young. I gave this Bu Yao to my sister-in-law. I wore this to show off in front of my sister-in-law before. Thinking about it now, I am really ashamed. "

A parcel was almost finished, when suddenly, the door of the palace was pushed open.

Second Master Xie was standing outside. He was aggressive at first, but under the gaze of several people, he quickly extinguished his anger: "Don't go, I'll go."

The second lady just looked at him coldly, and Second Master Xie seemed a little anxious: "I'll go and beg my father, let him let me be a monk and a beggar, okay?"

The second lady didn't respond, she just looked away silently, and put the peach-wood-carved duckling into Song Jiao's hands: "This is also for Mao Mao, you liked to sing that duck song when you were young."

Second Master Xie looked at her for a while, and seeing that she really didn't want to pay attention to him, he also turned and left.

That night, Second Master Xie asked for an order, found a remote village, said he was going to practice, packed his things overnight, and rolled over.

Before leaving, He Lishu was left behind.

After a while, the second lady will leave too.

When she stays here, it's inevitable that she will be touched by the scene, and it's not a bad thing to go out to relax.

Song Jiao helped her arrange everything, the things along the way, the places to stay along the way, and the people who served her, so she was relieved to leave.

The second lady smiled and said: "I'm so old, I still need a little doll to help me worry about it. I'm not really stupid. I also learned how to be a housekeeper in the boudoir."

The weather was fine that day, and outside the gate of Fengxiang City, the second lady looked better and stood by the carriage, saying goodbye to them.

Song Jiao looked listless: "Auntie, if something happens on the way, let someone tell us. Send us a message every time you go, don't stay outside for too long, come back early."

"Understood, what are you afraid of? Auntie is not afraid of anything."

She said goodbye to her family one by one, even Mr. Xie was there.

Master Xie was dressed in casual clothes, stood in front of her with his hands behind his back, unable to say anything, and in the end, the second wife blessed him: "Father."

The second lady boarded the carriage and left like this.

The horseshoes raised billows of smoke, and the convoy just disappeared into the smoke.

After a long time, the entire palace was shrouded in a layer of dark clouds.

Soon, it was June 27 again, and Xie Chen's 15th birthday came.

A custom unique to Northwest China, 15 years old is a small adult, 20 years old is a crown.

Master Xie specially organized a grand banquet in the palace to celebrate his birthday. This banquet also took away the gloomy atmosphere in the palace.

Recently, they were nervous about their studies and couldn't miss their homework. Song Jiao and Xie Shen immediately rushed back to the Xiaodong Palace from Lantai after school to change clothes and go to the banquet.

Across a screen, two people changed clothes on both sides.

Xie Chen wrapped his jade belt around and said, "Maomao, hurry up."

"Oh, here we come." Song Jiao turned around from the screen, holding a cake made of Wangwang snow cakes in his hand, singing, "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."

Seeing Song Jiao's stupid look, Xie Chen, who had been a bit grumpy due to the official duties assigned to him by his grandfather for several days, couldn't help laughing: "Why are you so stupid? You're already in your teens."

Song Jiao continued to sing, and after singing, he said: "Grandpa will hold a banquet for you tonight, it must be very late, and you will be tired and sleepy by then, I am afraid I will forget it, so I will give it to you now, congratulations to Brother Shen for growing up again." One year old."

The two of them simultaneously thought of the unpleasant things they had experienced in the past year.

Song Jiao puffed her cheeks and said, "Growing up may be a bit bad, but it should be good for us to grow up together."

Xie Chen flicked his head with a smile, picked up a piece of snow cake, and bit off half of it.

He is a young man who is brave and brave, no matter what kind of difficulties he will face, he will overcome them.

As long as Xie Chen and Song Jiao are together, they are invincible in the martial arts script.
