After becoming a widow, I raised my traitor brother

Wei Zi returned to He'an Hall with the box in her hand, reported to Mrs. Wei that she was safe, and then ate some supper hastily before going back to the boudoir to wash and change clothes.

While waiting for the hot water, she opened the mahogany box.

Inside is a pair of agarwood wood carvings, carved into beautiful and delicate boys and girls, wearing red jackets and green gauze skirts, holding green lotus leaves carved from emerald jade, and necklaces and bracelets made of pearls, emeralds, and gold. In the small box of five-color gold-studded gauze, there are movable brackets on the hands and feet, which are very delicate and lovely.

After an unknown amount of time, the little maid came in and reported, "Miss, the hot water is ready."

Wei Zi, with long crow-green hair loose, was lying in front of the book desk watching the pair of millers.

Such exquisite grinding and drinking music is definitely not something that can be bought temporarily.

It was probably specially customized by His Highness the Second Highness.

He put a lot of thought into her.

She was moved by his devotion, but she was afraid that she would not be able to return the same emotion.

Wei Zi's mood was complicated and heavy, and he replied, "Here we come."

Bai Nen's fingertips lightly tapped the doll's eyebrows, and then she turned and went to the ear room to take a shower and change clothes.

Meanwhile, the front yard study.

Xiao Fengxian was led into the study by the steward, Wei Ling Wei Ling, Duke of the Town, held an unfinished volume of military books in his hand, and said, "Here you come? Sit down."

Xiao Fengxian took a seat unceremoniously: "I heard that Grandpa Guo wants to invite the lower officials to have tea? I don't know what kind of tea to have?"

"The humble house is simple, and there is only some rough tea for Mr. Xiao to eat." Wei Ling signaled the maidservant to serve tea, "Master Xiao saved Xiao Zi today, and our family owes you another portion."

Xiao Fengxian slowly picked up the teacup and sniffed it.

Zhen Guogong's family style is clear and clean, and he is an honest and honest official. The family is not very rich, and the tea is really mediocre.

When Wei Zi was at his house, he gave her the best for food and clothing, but she still chose to go home.

A trace of hostility flashed across the young man's fox eyes, he didn't drink the tea, he put the teacup back on the table, and said: "Last time, the Duke of the Kingdom sent me down with 2 taels of silver, this time, how much money do you plan to take?" Dismiss the officer?"

These words are a bit yin and yang.

Wei Ling frowned.

He doesn't like such treacherous people the most!

Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Fengxian raised his eyebrows suddenly: "Master Guo should have investigated my background and know my net worth. This is not bragging. What's more, no matter how much money you want, it's not enough to buy my sister-in-law's life, right?"

"Don't call her sister-in-law." Wei Ling frowned, "She has nothing to do with your Xiao family. What do you want as a reward, just say it! It's just asking to marry Xiaozi, absolutely. possible!"

"Yes." Xiao Fengxian nodded, "Since Grandpa Guo said so, I won't be polite to you. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will ask Grandpa Guo to recommend me as the minister of the Ministry of Industry."

"What did you say?! Recommend you as the minister of the Ministry of Industry?!"

Wei Ling suddenly raised his voice.

Li Jinglin, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, is still sitting in that position, and he has not been dismissed or died suddenly. He took the lead in recommending Xiao Fengxian as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry? !

"Look at how anxious you are," Xiao Fengxian said with a smile, "Why do I ask so, the Duke will naturally know when the time comes."

Wei Ling's face was ugly.

Not only is this son cunning, cunning, lustful and addicted, he secretly covets his precious daughter as a brother-in-law, and he is also deep in the city. He just passed the Jinshi examination this year, and he wants to step on his boss's head to climb up!

In addition, he also repays his kindness with no respect for his elders!
Abominable!

He said impatiently: "Since I owe you a favor, if I have the opportunity, I will naturally recommend you. It's just that you have to be very capable, otherwise, even if I recommend you, His Majesty will not agree."

Xiao Fengxian nodded: "You don't need to worry about those things."

Wei Ling waved his hands sadly: "After today, don't get close to Xiao Zi again!"

He was about to send Xiao Fengxian away, when Wei Huanjin, who had re-bandaged his wound, stepped into the study excitedly.

He said happily: "Father, you don't know how good Mr. Xiao is! His riding and shooting skills are even better than those of the generals in the barracks! Fortunately, I used to think I was quite talented. Today I saw Mr. Xiao It’s only when you make a move that you know how candlelight can compete with the bright moon! It’s a pity for such talents to stay in the Ministry of Industry, why don’t you ask His Majesty to let Master Xiao enter the barracks as a lieutenant general?”

Wei Ling was even more upset.

Although his son is upright, his heart is really simple.

To be deceived by someone like Xiao Fengxian!

He said displeased: "Nonsense, how can such a thing as going to the military camp be child's play? But you, your marksmanship has regressed again, and you can't even protect your sister! Why don't you go back to your room and reflect on yourself?! From tomorrow on, you are not allowed to go out with Song Chengyi again. Have fun in the house, and triple the amount of marksmanship you practice every day!"

"father!"

Wei Huanjin was about to cry.

Wei Ling yelled angrily: "Hurry up and leave?!"

Wei Huanjin didn't dare to disobey his father, and he also knew that it was embarrassing for him not to have beaten bandits today.

He turned to Xiao Fengxian sluggishly, with admiration in his eyes, he cupped his hands, and said in a warm voice: "No matter what, I'd like to thank Master Xiao for saving us today. You and I are about the same age, and you and Xiaozi had friendship before, so we can see There is a lot of fate. Master Xiao will come to the house more often when he is free in the future, and Chang Jin is willing to make friends with you, and also wants to discuss riding and archery with you."

Wei Ling: "..."

He stared at Wei Huanjin and almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

He wished he could drive Xiao Fengxian far away, it's good for him to be a rebellious son, but he took him home instead!
Is he afraid that Xiao Fengxian won't be able to get close to his own sister? !
Facing Wei Huanjin's gracious invitation, Xiao Fengxian smiled: "Your Majesty, you are welcome. Since your Majesty sincerely invites you to take a rest sometime, Xiao will definitely come and visit."

Wei Huanjin was overjoyed, and left the study together with Xiao Fengxian, shoulder to shoulder.

Wei Huanjin sent Xiao Fengxian to the gate of the mansion, and then reluctantly said goodbye.

Xiao Fengxian didn't go back to the mansion, but turned around and went to the backyard wall of Duke Zhen Guo's mansion.

Crane Hall.

Wei Zi washed and wrung out her hair, and changed into clean ivory pajamas.

She didn't like to have a servant girl waiting in the room when she was sleeping, so she was the only one in the room.

She blew out a few candles, leaving only a green gauze horn lamp, which emitted a glow in the boudoir.

The moon is bright tonight.

Wei Zi was about to get on the bed, when he noticed the Mohele doll on the desk from the corner of the eye, he couldn't help walking over to hold it in his hand to play with, thinking of Zhou Xianji's intentions, his heart felt heavy again.

"Yo, Zhou Xianji gave it to you? It's so pretty."

Suddenly there was a sinister and strange voice behind him.

Wei Zi was startled, and quickly turned around to look. As expected, it was Xiao Fengxian!

She reprimanded: "Why do you always like to run into my boudoir in the middle of the night?!"

Xiao Fengxian stepped forward slowly, picked up another Mohele doll, and seemed to admire: "Boys and virgins, in pairs, what a good meaning, thanks to him thinking of it. My sister-in-law was childhood sweetheart with him when she was young. It’s also like a pair.”

A glint of jealousy flashed across the fox's eyes.

He raised his eyes to stare at Wei Zi's expression, and suddenly let go of his hand.

The exquisite agarwood carvings were smashed to the ground, the green lotus leaves carved from emerald jade were like broken spring mountains, and the jewels, emeralds, and gold worn were also shattered all over the ground.

Dirty boots stepped on the green gauze dress worn by Mo Hele, and crushed it carelessly, mercilessly crushing the green gauze skirt.
