Chapter 457 The Grand Finale (2)
Now Mrs. Xu is no longer the person she used to be. Since Xiao Yi became an official, she has shown off in front of countless people. It's all calm now.So whenever Xu Shi saw their faces like this, she wanted to tear off their expressions directly, but she also knew that she couldn't do anything wrong, so she gave up.

"Yi'er, where did you come from?" Xu Shi walked up to Xiao Yi slowly, followed by a few maids, with a smile on her face like a flower.

Xiao Yi said indifferently with a blank face: "I just came back from court, is there something wrong with mother? If there is nothing wrong, the child has to deal with business." It's not that he doesn't want to kiss Mrs. Xu, but Mrs. Xu doesn't know why now. It has become a philistine.

Seeing his indifference, Xu's eyes flashed a gloomy look, and then he returned to his original state, still asking softly: "Yi'er, you're taking a rest tomorrow, right? Tomorrow I just invited the Jin family Missy, your cousin and some rich officials are coming to our house, you can't run away."

How could Xiao Yi not understand what she meant, such behaviors have never been less in these years, and now he is just a civil servant of the third rank, how can he compare to others, and among the officials' daughters invited by his mother At most, it belonged to the third prince's party, and the prince's party or the emperor's people would not have any contact with them. Although he didn't want to get involved with the third prince, his mother didn't know what luck it was, so he casually To save is to save the seriously injured third prince, and he will not be able to escape from such a relationship.

"Mother, I understand. If there is nothing to do tomorrow, I won't go out." It's been like this for many years. He doesn't go out, but he will always stay in the study, the one who can't be dragged out. kind.

Mrs. Xu was helpless, but she also knew that he couldn't be rushed. After all, he was no longer a child, but an official. He had to make his own judgment, so he nodded immediately, "I see, do you want to eat something?" ? I think this hawthorn cake is good, sweet and sour appetizer."

"Hawthorn cake?" Xiao Yi looked at Mrs. Xu with some doubts. He never remembered that there was such a food in Kyoto.

Mrs. Xu smiled slightly, and said softly: "That's right, didn't Shuzhai only exist in our Qingyun Town back then, but now, I have seen it in the capital, and the items sold there are the same as the ones in Qingyun Town back then. , I asked carefully, hey, coincidentally, it is really a branch of Shuzhai, so I bought a few kinds, one is the peach blossom cake, pear blossom cake, etc. that they mainly sell now, and this hawthorn cake, yes Oh, and there's another one, Hibiscus Cake."

His mother didn't know who Shu Zhai belonged to, but he did. Isn't this Shu Zhai the shop that Xiaoxiao opened back then?She didn't expect to drive here in just a few years, it seems that she must be living a prosperous life now.

His thoughts drifted to the distance, his eyes looked elsewhere without focus, as if he was looking at others through that place, Xu stretched out his hand and waved in front of him, seeing that he didn't respond, she immediately pushed him with her hand , "Yi'er, Yi'er? What's wrong with you?"

Xiao Yi was brought back to his senses by her, seeing her face full of doubts, he regained his senses in an instant, and said indifferently: "It's nothing, I just remembered what I ate when I was young, mother, what did you just say?"

"What can I say, when did you listen to what I said?" Xu gave him an angry look.

"Mother, I still have business matters to deal with, so I'll go first." After saying that, Xiao Yi raised his foot and left. No matter what, he would fight for it. If he didn't fight for it, then he would have no chance at all. It doesn't matter if Mo Yuntian and Mo Yunfeng stand in the way, as long as he makes up his mind, he must try his best to do it, otherwise his life will be in vain.

Seeing his back leaving quickly, Mrs. Xu sighed softly, and the maid beside her heard this sigh and couldn't help asking curiously: "Madam, the young master is now an official in the capital. Why are you sighing for no reason?"

"It's not this one that I'm sighing, but this child. Alas, injustice, injustice, there are so many good girls in this world, why do you have to be dead on the horns, and you just like that one. Sigh..." Xu's tone was a little bit Melancholy, the worry in his eyes is very clear.

Hearing this, the servant girl closed her mouth in a timely manner, she could not ask any more questions, otherwise she would definitely be punished, they just need to do their part well.

"Okay, find someone to pick out some snacks like the hawthorn cake and hibiscus cake I bought today, so that Yi'er won't get hungry when he's dealing with business." After a long while, Xu's voice slowly floated back and forth in the air with.

A fire was flickering in a cave in the forest. Mo Yuntian looked at the letter in his hand with a sullen face. The flickering and dimming of the fire light on his face also made his whole face look more serious. After a while, he squeezed the letter It became a ball, and slowly closed its eyes, not knowing what to think.

"My lord, the food is ready, you can eat some first, you must be very hungry after a day's driving." Wen Shu held the roasted game in his hand and handed it to Mo Yuntian, with deep eyes deep worry.They have already inspected several places, some local officials are okay, and they are found to be clean, but some officials are angry even when he saw it, and they still remember a prefect, they just got there, the prefect and the master sealed it The 10 taels of silver was said to be filial to their son, whose face was as black as the bottom of the burning pot at that time.

Even if the prefect and the master were tied up by their young master, they were cut off by the resignation office shortly thereafter. The information found showed that the prefect had only been in office for less than three years. Wan Xuehuayin, these people don't treat ordinary people as human beings, they are indeed inferior to animals.

Mo Yuntian smelled the aroma of roasted game, and immediately opened his bottomless black eyes, "Well, you can eat it too, by the way, you and your brothers should also find a safe shelter from the wind and have a good rest One night, I have nothing to protect, you all have to be careful."

It is extremely safe for him to travel this way, who would dare to do anything to him?But thinking about it, no one would do this, after all, he was traveling on behalf of the emperor.

"Lord Mo, this is not acceptable. We are all going to sleep. What if something happens to you?" A man with a murderous look between his brows said with disapproval.

Mo Yuntian chuckled, "What can happen to me? General Yun, you are a general. I feel a little flattered to have you protect me, and am I overqualified?" Under the tent of the Great General Qin Hong, he couldn't be more upright. He is the one who protects the emperor's safety on weekdays.He didn't expect to send him to protect himself now.
