Chapter 411 Daydreaming
"What does the princess mean?" Du Wenzhong and Chang Wu both frowned.

Xu Jiao smiled suddenly, "I just want to ask, do you guys still remember your original intention of taking Wenlou back to Feng'an and the Central Plains? But you still have the same original intention? I want revenge, and I want to give you back the two of you." The one with all the power and wealth, you two and Wenlou will stop me and be my enemy? If there is a storm, where will Wenlou go?"

The soft voice, the sweet tone, the smiling woman, the eyes are sharp and cold, like ice knives and frost swords, quenched with the poison called hatred, and the coldness has become a murderous intent.

Even though Du Wenzhong and Chang Wu were used to seeing wind, frost and blood, they couldn't help but shudder at this moment.

But only for a moment, Du Wenzhong smiled softly, "Princess, establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and bring peace to all generations. This is the purpose of the establishment of Wenlou. Wenlou Since its establishment, it has not been for the purpose of becoming a sword in the hands of any emperor. Wen Lou has indeed devoted himself to the Yang family. There may indeed be some deviations, and even betrayal. I regret it. But the real regret is for the faint king Working hard, the real pain is the devastation of the country and the loss of life."

"Our original intention is not only to rectify the name of Wenlou, but also to create a Haiyan, Heqing, Shihefeng and Suifeng for the people in this troubled world."

"Okay!" Xu Jiao praised suddenly after hearing this, his voice was crisp and sweet, but loud, "Since that's the case, Wen Lou and I are fellows, we can join hands and stand side by side."

Looking at her, Du Wenzhong realized more deeply why Mo Chuohe fell in love with this woman in front of him. "What does the princess want to do?"

"Same as my husband, I also think that person is narrow-minded and unworthy of morality. Why should such a person rule the world? The ruler is in power and the people are in dire straits, which leads to chaos. And the foundation of the Wei Dynasty court is rotten, and the situation is irreversible. , If you want to create a grand scene for the common people, then there is only one way to go." Xu Jiao paused before saying, "If you don't break it, you can't build it."

"Of course, this is a matter of righteousness, and it's mostly clichés. I'm just a little girl, and I have my own selfishness. That person owes me several lives. It's too cheap to let him pay for his life. The only way to let him see him Only when the most important things are wiped out in his hands can the hatred in my heart be relieved."

The woman smiled sweetly, and smiled at Yan Yan, showing her righteousness and selfishness before her eyes, frank and frank, without any concealment.

The old and the young present, the two men couldn't help but feel shocked.

The snow fell all night and stopped at dawn.This day, Banlan was on duty. She slept soundly and deeply last night, but she didn't notice that she overslept. When she woke up, the window was lit. Went to Mingyueju.

Xu Jiao really packed up and was having breakfast.

Seeing this, Banlan's face was ugly, and she quickly knelt down and said, "Forgive me, the princess, the servant girl overslept for a while, and came late."

Xu Jiao smiled tolerantly, "It's okay to oversleep occasionally, it's probably because I haven't come back for a long time, and you are too tired these days."

The master is not in the mansion, these servants are naturally very at ease, upon hearing this, Banlan's expression turned even worse, she hastily leaned down and said, "Please punish the princess."

Xu Jiao was slightly stunned, raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter? I said it's nothing, why did I scare you like this? Get up quickly, go and tidy up, after breakfast, let's go back to Jingfu together."

When Xu Jiao came out of the palace yesterday, he sent someone to Jingfu to deliver the greeting card.Although this move seemed out of character, it was normal for her to break up with Jingfu in the past.Therefore, everyone in the entire family knew that she would go to Jingfu today, and Ban Lan also knew.

Hearing that Xu Jiao really didn't mean to blame, Ban Lan breathed a sigh of relief, responded, got up, turned around and went to tidy up.

Xu Jiao looked at her back, his eyes darkened for a moment, and when he turned his head, he smiled as if nothing had happened, and continued to eat her breakfast happily.

I don't know if it was a psychological effect, the carriage stopped, and when Xu Jiao lifted the curtain to look out, she always felt that the Jing Mansion's gate was even more desolate and deserted than the Zhongyonghou Mansion. She paused for a moment, and she supported Banlan's men got the carriage.

The concierge was still Uncle Hai, who hurriedly greeted him with a smile that seemed to have changed a lot.

Since Xu Jiao handed over the post before coming, the Jingfu naturally had some preparations.

At the gatehouse, there was a woman who guided the way, leading Xu Jiao all the way to Baishou Hall.It is still the Baishou Hall, but it seems to be completely different.

Jing Shan is already married, and Mrs. Yan is crazy and locked in her yard all day long.In the huge hall, only Mrs. Wu and Cui Wenyin who just married into Jingfu a few months ago.

Mrs. Wu has aged a lot, and the Jing Mansion suffered accidents one after another. She didn't fall directly, so she was considered strong.His attitude towards Xu Jiao was lukewarm, and it was only natural that Xu Jiao broke with them in public in spite of Jingfu's face.

The grandfather and grandson said a few words indifferently, and when Xu Jiao asked Mr. Jing, Jing Duo, and Jing Shangshu, Mrs. Wu replied indifferently, "Your uncle has gone through the pain of bereavement, and he has gone halfway." Fate, now, you don't even leave the door very much, and you only stay with Yan Shi in the house all day long. You, please be more considerate. Your elder brother, as usual, rarely has a home. As for your grandfather... "

Mrs. Wu paused for a moment before saying, "He is seriously ill, but I received your call letter yesterday and specifically explained that after you come, I will go look for him in the outer study."

"In that case, I'll go find my grandfather myself, and I won't disturb my grandmother here anymore." Xu Jiao said, kneeling gently and blessed himself.

Cui Wenyin said on the side, "I'll send my second sister off!"

Mrs. Wu nodded lightly, and Cui Wenyin also bowed to Mrs. Wu. After looking at each other with Xu Jiao, she walked out of Baishou Hall one by one.

The snow has just fallen, and the pines and cypresses in the yard of Baishoutang look very solemn against the snow.

The snow on the path was swept away, but it was just piled aside. Xu Jiao and Cui Wenyin walked out of the Baishou Hall in silence. Xu Jiao stopped and waited for Cui Wenyin, who was two steps behind. When Cui Wenyin caught up, the two looked at each other. On the contrary, he smiled suddenly, but that smile was no longer as carefree and clear as before.

Xu Jiao held out his hand to Cui Wenyin, Cui Wenyin extended his hand to her, and the two walked hand in hand.

"I failed to drink your wedding wine earlier, and I thought that when you came back, I would definitely give you and my big brother a good time. Who knew that goodbye would be like this..." Xu Jiao sighed.

Cui Wenyin smiled lightly, and also sighed, "Isn't it? It's just a year, and the world has turned upside down. Things are different."

"How are you and big brother?" Xu Jiao was silent for a moment before finally asking.Jing Duo has always loved to play and make trouble, and everyone in Feng'an City knows that he is a dandy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. Although he has the same face as Mr. Jing Erlang, he has a completely different temperament.

But Xu Jiao originally thought that after Jing Qin's death, he became married again, and married the woman he fancied and liked, who should grow up and change, but why did he still listen to Mrs. Wu's voice just now? same as usual?
When Xu Jiao was caught off guard and asked about this, Cui Wenyin's face was dazed for a moment, but when Xu Jiao looked over suspiciously, she hurriedly smiled and said, "What's the matter, isn't that how these two live? ?"

Xu Jiao frowned, she wanted to ask Jing Duo if he didn't return home yesterday?Otherwise, could it be that knowing that she was going back to the mansion today, she deliberately didn't come back?However, seeing Cui Wenyin like this, Xu Jiao suddenly understood something, and she silently swallowed back the words that had already flowed into her throat.

There was silence between the two, and after a while, Cui Wenyin said dryly, "I was thinking about you, I was afraid that I would not know when we would see each other again, even if there was a reunion, I would never be in Feng'an, but I didn't I thought, you came back at this time."

When Xu Jiao heard this, she was slightly taken aback, frowned suspiciously, and looked at her silently.

Cui Wenyin smiled slightly and said, "You also know the current situation of the Jing Mansion. Grandfather has already asked His Majesty to ask for the bones, and His Majesty has already agreed. This Feng'an City is just a sad place now, so after the beginning of spring, we will The family is going to move back to their ancestral home. But the matter is not yet a foregone conclusion, and my grandfather has specifically explained it, so we can't say anything about it for the time being."

"Ajiao?" After Cui Wenyin finished speaking, she saw Xu Jiao suddenly stopped in her tracks, her brows were furrowed and she didn't speak, the smile on her face was also deep, and she looked unhappy.

Xu Jiao woke up with a blink of an eye, "Is it what grandfather meant when he said he was going back to his hometown?"

Cui Wenyin nodded nervously, "Of course it's what my grandfather meant. Besides grandfather, who else in our house can do this?"

Xu Jiao's eyebrows frowned even tighter, what was that old fox thinking?Even if Emperor Xian agreed to his begging for bones, at this time he wanted to bring his family back to his hometown?Even if it was because of Cui Wenyin, the Li family army would not stop them, so what about Emperor Xian?That narrow-minded fool who would rather let the world lose me than let the world lose me will just watch the Jing family leave?

Even if Cui Wenyin didn't have the ability to make Li Jiajun stop for her, even if Emperor Xian hadn't done anything to her at this time, it didn't mean that he would let the Jing family leave under his nose.

To him, this is not only a betrayal, but also a naked provocation.

Xu Jiao didn't believe that Jing Shangshu's old fox had served the emperors of the Yang family for two dynasties, so he couldn't see clearly.

"Ajiao?" Cui Wenyin was very disturbed by the silent appearance of Xu Jiao's lips. She always felt that she had said something wrong, so she hesitated to call her.

"It's okay, let's go!" Xu Jiao restrained his mind, smiled at her, turned around and took another step.

Cui Wenyin frowned behind her, she said she was fine, but her pace was much faster than before, but it was obvious that Xu Jiao didn't intend to tell her whether there was anything wrong or not.

After a while, she walked to the courtyard door of the outer study. Cui Wenyin stopped and said to Xu Jiao, "Go see your grandfather by yourself. The kitchen is preparing a table. I don't feel relieved. I have to go and see."

Xu Jiao replied with a smile, "In this way, there will be a sister-in-law." In the current situation of Jingfu, it is no wonder that Cui Wenyin, the new daughter-in-law, has already taken care of the gift.

Originally there were two joking addresses, but Cui Wenyin twitched the corner of her mouth uncomfortably before turning away.

When she was unmarried before, when Xu Jiao teased her like this, she would be ashamed and annoyed, and even forgot the upbringing of a lady of aristocratic family, chasing after Xu Jiao, this time, could it be because she is already married?
Xu Jiao looked at the back of Cui Wenyin leaving in a hurry, her eyes suddenly darkened, naturally not.

Xu Jiao raised his hand and called Banlan to her, and whispered a few words in her ear, "... let's go!"

Ban Lan nodded, turned around and left.When Xu Jiao returned to Jingfu, he did not bring Xuexue and Wentao with him, but brought Banlan alone, so of course she had intentions.

Standing at the same spot and watching Ban Lan walk away, Xu Jiao then turned and walked into the courtyard gate behind him.

Xu Jiao used to come to Jing Shangshu's outer study room often, especially when he first arrived in Jing's mansion, and would be called here by old man Jing from time to time. Qin...Jing Qin always seems to be inadvertently helping them out and pleading for mercy.

Thinking of Jing Qin, Xu Jiao stopped suddenly, and stared up at the two huge water tanks under the front porch. At this time of year, there was nothing in the tanks.But in a daze, it seems to have returned to the midsummer season, the sun is so good, the lotus leaves are pavilions in the vat, and the lotus flowers are in full bloom. A man dressed in azurite, who looks like a new bamboo, is standing by the vat, holding in his hand. A porcelain bowl filled with fish food, the slender index finger occasionally picked up a few grains and sprinkled them into the tank.

The two koi in the tank were naturally waving their tails, fighting for food, and then dived into the bottom of the water with a "crash".

When the man saw her, he raised the corners of his lips and smiled very faintly, then turned his head and saw her, his brows were frowned, and his voice with a faint smile slowly rang in his ears, "A Jiao , What are you doing standing there? Come here quickly, grandpa is still waiting for you!"

Ah Jiao... Xu Jiao just remembered in a trance that Jing Qin also called her in this way, but very rarely.Most of the time he calls her in a proper manner, Second Sister.Xu Jiao's eyes became moist without warning.

With a sound of "squeak", the door of the room suddenly opened, as if a ray of lightning struck down, abruptly shattering the fantasy dream in front of him. The figure standing beside the water tank that looked like a spring willow suddenly disappeared, and the figure standing inside the door was seen. Looking at her, he hurriedly walked forward and said to Xu Jiao, "Princess, are you here?"

Xu Jiao's eyes were still fixed on the place just now, as if he didn't notice the person coming.

"Princess?" The person who came gave her a strange look, followed her gaze, and his gaze fell on the jar, and he froze for a while. After a while, he took it back. Wei Shan, princess, this is...

When he was about to take a closer look, Xu Jiao had already turned his head, raised his hand and quickly wiped the corner of his eyes, looked at the person who came, and said in surprise, "Ershui, is it you?"

The person in front of him was an acquaintance, it was Ershui, Jingqin's personal servant from the past.

Er Shui nodded his head and said, "The young one pays respects to the princess. Since the gentleman left, the old man has taken the young one by his side to serve him." Was he wrong just now?The princess seemed to be crying.

Xu Jiao hummed, Jing Qin was what Old Man Jing loved and valued the most, and that was his pride. "Grandpa is in there?"

"That's right! I heard that the Princess is going back to the mansion today, and the old man is waiting after getting up early in the morning."
