into the bosom

Chapter 413

Xu Jiao pondered for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Forget it, anyway, I can't take care of them now, so let them go!"

Ban Lan's eyes widened slightly, knowing that the princess is different from ordinary ladies, why does she even want to take care of her brother's room?

How did Ban Lan know that in Xu Jiao's heart, Jing Duo was not at all like an elder brother?At most, it is an older rebellious period, a younger brother who loves to play and make trouble, but does not follow the right path.In the past, Xu Jiao didn't want to bother with him. Wasn't Jing Qin still there?

Thinking of Jing Qin, Xu Jiao's heart shuddered again. Although Jing Qin and Jing Duo were born brothers first, Jing Qin was always more mature and stable. Compared with Jing Duo, Jing Qin was more like Elder brother is indeed playing the role of elder brother, becoming the pillar of the family, taking on the responsibility of the eldest son for Jing Duo, and sometimes even cleaning up the mess for Jing Duo...

But now...Xu Jiao blinked his eyes, Jing Qin is gone, and Jing Duo can't let Jing Duo go on fooling around!No one will take the burden of the Jing family's future for him, it can only fall on his shoulders!
Back at Zhongyonghou's mansion, Xu Jiao said "Thanks for your hard work" to Ban Lan, and then went back to the room.

After a while, Negative Snow also came in.Xu Jiao was sitting in front of the dressing table, when Negative Xue stepped forward and reached out to remove the hairpin for her.

"Has Ban Lan gone back?" Xu Jiao asked casually while taking off the earrings.

Negative Xue understood Xu Jiao's meaning, "I'm going back, Hongying is watching outside, the Princess can rest assured."

Xu Jiao hummed, "There is something I want you to do. Find an opportunity in these two days, and go to this place to find someone!" Xu Jiao opened the tea bowl at hand while talking, dipped his fingers in the tea A place name was quickly written on the table top of the dressing table, and after seeing Neg Xue clearly nodding her head, she poured tea on it, wiped it casually, and the table was dripping wet.Negative Xue took out the comb towel and wiped it clean, leaving no traces on the table.

This trick was learned by Xu Jiao and Gao Ya.Speaking of Tuya, I don't know what she is doing now, don't tell me, I still miss her a little bit.Of course, I miss someone more.

Xu Jiao pushed open the window, looked at the moon that was about to be full in the dark blue sky above her head, she let out a long sigh while resting her cheeks, and murmured, "Ashu, I miss you so much!"

Once the longing is evoked, it is a spring, overflowing in an instant.

Lovesick to the bone, Xu Jiao had a dream at night.The dreams are scattered, but they are all about Mo Chuohe.

Suddenly it was he who hugged her by the waist amidst the colorful curtains.

Suddenly it was the night of parting, their madness in the tent seemed to make up for the parting after that, endlessly, she could hardly get up the next day.

Suddenly, on the second day, he didn't listen to the advice, and personally led someone to send her thirty miles away. When the sky darkened, he turned around and left under her repeated urging.

The back view of him galloping away in the snowy field was frozen into a gray scene in the dream...

When waking up early in the morning, Xu Jiao always felt that his body and mind were all empty.

She vaguely opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling. After a while, she raised her weak arms to cover her forehead and her eyes, her throat moved, and she thought helplessly, what is this?
It is said that after a man eats meat, he knows the taste from the marrow. After eating it, he suddenly can't eat it, and he is prone to desire and dissatisfaction.So, is it the same for women?Became a monk but became a monk, that's what you're talking about, right?

well!She let out a long sigh and thought, what's the matter?It's better to end the matter here quickly and end the status quo of separation between the two places!
After entering the palace, and then went to the Jingfu, everyone who should be seen was seen, so Xu Jiao freed his hands to take care of various properties in Feng'an City.

Xu Jiao is an out-and-out little rich woman.At the beginning, Mrs. Zhao was the only daughter, and all the properties in the family were given to her as a dowry. Mrs. Zhao had a lot of people who were good at management. These properties have been running in an orderly manner over the years. After that, Mrs. Zhao married all of them to Xu Jiao.The eldest princess also gave her a lot of property as a dowry.

In addition, He Lianshu had been thinking about arranging a way out for Xu Jiao at the beginning, and secretly arranged a lot for her.Therefore, even though the people in Feng'an City are panicking and most businesses are bleak, Xu Jiao still has a lot to do.

In addition to checking the accounts, she went all over the shops that sold food, medicinal materials, and cloth related to people's livelihood, and ordered that no malicious price hikes be allowed.

As for other businesses that were not doing well in this situation, they were simply closed down, but the shop assistants still needed to be resettled until the situation stabilized in the future.

For several consecutive days, Xu Jiao took Qinniang and Lingxue with her, and went out early in the morning, and only returned home at night. Three meals a day were actually taken out twice.

It is the same today.It happened to be lunch time, Xu Jiao took Qinniang and Lingxue into a nearby restaurant run by her family.

The business of this restaurant used to be very good. It was a bustling lunch time, but now it is very deserted. When they entered, there were only a few customers.

The shopkeeper got the letter and came out to welcome the shopkeeper, and led the shopkeeper to the private room on the second floor. Xu Jiao was not busy checking the accounts, but asked the shopkeeper to prepare a few signature dishes in the restaurant.

After a while, the shopkeeper brought two waiters to bring some food and wine, leaving one of the waiters to wait on him, and then retreated.

After the door closed, the smile on Xu Jiao's face faded away, squinting at the man with lowered brows and bowed head, standing with hands folded, and said, "Come in with me!" Then he turned around and walked into the room separated by the screen. room.

The guy, Qinniang, and Lingxue were not surprised at all, Qinniang and Lingxue walked to the door to guard, and the other went to the window to watch the wind, the guy bowed his head to follow, and went around behind the screen.

There was a low couch behind the screen. Xu Jiao was already sitting cross-legged on one side of the low couch, picked up the teapot, poured two cups of tea, and said without raising his head, "I didn't know that Sister came here in person, so only this one A pot of tea is served, sister, don't be disgusted, sit down!"

The guy finally raised his head. Under the hood, there was a deliberately blackened face, rough facial features, but a pair of eyes similar to Xu Jiao. It was Xu Yu whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Xu Yu strode to sit opposite Xu Jiao, compared to Xu Jiao's tenderness, Xu Yu is like this now, if not someone who is very familiar with her, no one will see that she is a woman.

She was brought up in the military camp by King Pingnan since she was a child, and then she stayed in the military camp for a long time in disguise. After marrying Li Huan, she went to the battlefield with real swords and guns. Li Huan indulged her to the end, But in just a short period of time, the fierceness and power between Xu Yu's brows became real in just a glance, and he came directly to his face, which made Xu Jiao, who thought he was just an ordinary woman, couldn't help sighing, the heroine's aura is really extraordinary It is hard for an ordinary person like her to hold her back.

After Xu Jiao sighed for a while, she stopped being entangled. She was not a leading heroine in the first place, and Xu Jiao was already very content with a female supporting role who was cannon fodder at the beginning.

Xu Wei sat down opposite her, but he was also looking at her, watching her leisurely holding a teacup and sipping a cup of tea, the tea smoke curled up and covered her eyelashes, making her eyebrows and eyes like a fog In, can't see clearly.

Maybe... She has never seen the person in front of her clearly.Xu Wei frowned.

This pair of sisters who had been reunited for a long time did not have the slightest warmth to reminisce about the old days, and they remained silent. The small cubicle was filled with unspeakable stagnation. Just admit defeat.

Xu Jiao was never afraid of showing weakness or admitting defeat, so after taking another sip of tea, he smiled softly, "Now the Li family's army is besieging Feng'an, and they have not moved their troops for a long time, but the defense of Feng'an City is strictly guarded." It is so strict, but my sister can enter the land of no one, the strength of the Li family army is really not to be underestimated."

"I entered Feng'an City before the siege was encircled." Xu Wei replied in a deep voice.

"Oh?" Xu Jiao raised his eyebrows without any surprise on his face.

Xu Yu raised his eyebrows, "You don't need to talk to me, let me ask you, why did you come back?"

Is this the first time someone has asked her like this?Xu Jiao counted silently in her heart, sighed and thought, why does everyone think it's strange that she came back at this time?

"I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to pass the checkpoint, so I dispatched Negative Snow to send a letter to Sister A in the morning. Li Jiajun really didn't make any trouble, so he let him go. I thought it was Sister's fault. But Sister said it was encircled. I entered Feng'an City before, it seems that I haven't received the letter from me to let Xue pass."

"It's Ah Huan! Don't worry, I haven't told the rest of the Li family about my relationship with you. Although I am in Feng'an, I have my own way to contact Ah Huan. The news of your return to Feng'an will come when you return to Feng'an." On the second day, it was passed on to me." Xu Wei said in a serious tone.

"Then... my sister didn't think to ask me before, but now I'm asking... because of the letter I sent to my aunt a few days ago?" Xu Jiao smiled and raised her clear eyes slightly. , looking at Xu Wei.

Xu Wei choked, she knew that her younger sister was smart, she was smart since she was a child, smart but sensitive, since she reunited in Feng'an, she found that her younger sister had changed, she was still the same smart, but there was a bit of cunning in that smartness She also knows how to do things in a roundabout way, and she is flexible in her actions and deeds. She thought it was because of great changes in her family, and she suffered another crime.But now, she has to wonder, can a person really become so thorough?

Suspicious clouds that had long been in my heart came from all directions, lingering in my heart, and lingering.

Xu Wei frowned, and forced to suppress the suspicion between his brows, he said, "It's not that I don't care about you, but that you have big ideas now. At the beginning, when you had such a big problem, you never thought of asking me for help. Leave Feng An, you didn't go to Luxi to look for me, and you never went back to Pingliang City. Instead, you went to the grassland alone. Naturally, I don't need to ask you when you come back, but the letter you sent to Madam made me have to come See you."

To Princess Huiming, Xu Jiao still called her "Aunt", but Xu Yi called her "Madame".

Xu Jiao pursed his lips and smiled, "Sure enough" was written in his eyes, but his face was calm, "What sister wants to ask is why I came back? Since sister knows the letter I sent to my aunt, she already knows From the contents of the letter, can't you guess why I came back?"

"Why?" Xu Wei didn't deny it, but just didn't hide it anymore, letting the doubt and anger in his eyes flow out one by one, like a silk net, covering Xu Jiao's head, "Could it be that you came back at the risk to keep Princess Yanping? I used to feel sorry for you, thinking that you were forced to serve your enemies as relatives, but in a blink of an eye, you actually want to protect your own enemies, Jiaojiao, what are you thinking? You really don’t remember the enmity between your father and mother ?”

"The eldest princess is not my enemy, but the emperor is!" Xu Jiao still smiled, but his eyes turned cold.

"What's the difference? Her surname is Yang. Could she escape from what the Yang family did?"

"The emperor is the emperor, and my mother is my mother. There is a grievance and a debt. I can distinguish clearly, and I hope my sister can distinguish clearly." Not giving up half a point.

"Mother?" Xu Wei smiled, "It seems that you have completely forgotten your own name and surname!" Thinking of what Xu Jiao said just now, Xu Wei's face darkened, "If I can't tell the difference? ?”

"She is my mother, and I will take good care of her, no matter what the cost!" Xu Jiao also lowered her voice, "Besides, the elder sister came here in such a panic, she should know my request, and my aunt may not refuse it, right? ?”

Princess Huiming's thoughts were too deep for Xu Wei to see clearly. Although she stood firmly on the Li family's side and rebelled, she persuaded Li Huan's father Li Chongwu when they were about to attack Feng'an. Let him give up the act of capturing Feng'an in one go, but only surround Feng'an, but he does not attack.

Even Xu Wei knew that Feng'an was the capital of the Wei Dynasty that had been in operation for more than 100 years. The city was strong and there were many soldiers guarding it. But it's not impossible to conquer, but it's hard to guarantee that the other troops are of one mind with them.

We used to be able to fight side by side together, but now it's the last moment, who wouldn't want to take that seat?But there is only one seat, so naturally everyone has their own thoughts.

Princess Huiming said to stop for a while and let her think of a way to see if she can fight without bloodshed. That's the reason, but Xu Wei always feels that it's not just because of this.

Presumably Li Chongwu also had doubts in his heart, which is why she sneaked into Feng'an City first, as a countermeasure.

Therefore, Princess Huiming will persuade Li Chongwu not to attack Feng'an today. Who knows if she will let Princess Yanping go because of the kindness of nurturing and sisterhood?

When Xu Jiao broke his mind, Xu Wei's complexion changed a little, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you really want to be my enemy for a 'mother' who has no blood relationship with you, a sister who is a compatriot with your mother?" Xu Yu deliberately bit the word "mother" hard, and reminded Xu Jiao that she was the one who was connected with Xu Jiao's blood, and looked at Xu Jiao with burning eyes.

Xu Jiao knew that in Xu Yu's eyes at this moment, she was just a rebellious child who had gone astray, was still obsessed with obsession, and refused to turn back.

She took two deep breaths, her tone was calm, but she said firmly, "My mother is just a dispensable person to my sister. If she dies, you will not lose the hatred in your heart, because she Not your enemy."
