Ma Erniang's Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 287
Feng Jiangyi looked at Ma Miner's eldest son, stroked his white beard with his hands, squinted his eyes and smiled, and nodded slightly.

Seeing the smile on Master's face, Ma Min'er quickly hit the snake on the stick and asked in a low voice, "Master, how is my boss?"

Feng Jiangyi withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, and smiled, "Same as you."

"Ah!" Seeing the master lifting his foot, Ma Min'er walked towards the courtyard, "What do you mean, master?" She chased after her and asked.

"think it yourself."

"If I could think for myself, I would ask you!"

"Bring the delicious food quickly."

"Master, isn't it time for lunch yet?" The tone was so tight that Ma Min'er was so angry that she refused to eat.

Feng Jiangyi turned his head and smiled: "Small snacks, small snacks, whatever you want." Don't give me food, eat snacks, hehe, the Tao is one foot tall, the devil is one foot tall, it depends on who is better.

Ma Min'er stopped in her tracks, rubbed her chin and said, "Master, I didn't expect you to be over 70 years old and still walk like flying. You really are a foodie!"

"Of course." Feng Jiangyi looked proud.

What can be done?Ma Min'er hurriedly asked people to serve small snacks, most of which were baked cakes, whether they had good teeth or bad teeth, they could be eaten, and asked the girls to bring in some freshly made yogurt.

Unexpectedly, after Feng Jiangyi ate yogurt, he didn't want to stop talking, "It's delicious, it's delicious!" The sweet and sour taste is so refreshing, and he drank three small cups, if Ma Miner didn't stop him, he would eat it badly.

"Master, this stuff is fermented. If you eat too much, it will be bad for your old man's stomach, and you will have diarrhea."

"That's right, my stomach is not smooth these days, eat more!"

Mmm... Mmm... Ma Min'er was trembling in the cold wind.

Feng Zhiping was also stunned by his father's child-like pampering, and smiled at Ma Min'er embarrassedly, "I said he wouldn't listen, and even bothered the county princess..."

Her own son didn't dare to take care of Lao Tzu, it seemed that only she, an outsider, could take care of her. Ma Min'er hurriedly asked the servant to remove all the snacks and snacks, so that he wouldn't be allowed to eat more.

Like a child, Feng Jiangyi circled the food and yogurt on the stage, preventing the servants from taking them away.

"Hey, Master, look, there are so many children looking at you?" Ma Min'er stepped aside, and there was a row of children, big and small, behind her.

Uh... Feng Jiangyi saw a row of little guys, his old face blushed, and he finally let go of his arms, "Then..." His eyes were still reluctant to eat yogurt.

"Master, don't worry, I'll eat it for you at noon in the afternoon."

"Really?"

"It's guaranteed to be fake." Ma Min'er said, "When you go back, I'll have someone pack it up and take it back for you."

"no, do not want."

"what……"

Not only Ma Min'er was surprised, even Feng Zhiping was also surprised. The old father was shy, so he was embarrassed to take it?But he just returned food!

The old man said: "These days, I live in your house."

"Master..."

"Father……"

... Everyone was stunned by Feng Jiangyi's words.

Ma Min'er almost scratched the back of her head.

Feng Jiangyi said: "Even if others imitate these snacks of yours, they are not as delicious as yours. I simply stay here so that I can eat the original flavor."

Uh... Is it true that the older you get, the more foodie you get?
"Why not welcome?"

"Welcome, of course you are welcome." Ma Min'er quickly laughed enthusiastically.

"Insincere words!" Feng Jiangyi stared dissatisfiedly, "But the old man has a thick skin, even if you don't welcome me, I will stay here, Zhiping—"

"Father...Father, this is not right."

"Just as if I went out to visit mountains and rivers."

"Uh..." Feng Zhiping instantly petrified.

"Why are you standing there, why don't you ask someone to go back and get my clothes for a change?" Seeing this, the old father really wanted to stay, Feng Zhiping turned around embarrassedly and told the servants to go home and get clothes.

Xia Zhen was dealing with matters in the study room. Hearing that Mrs. Feng was coming, she hurried to the main hall to greet the guests. Standing at the door, she heard his words. He was not a child, and Feng Jiangyi was not just an old urchin, The old grand teacher of the emperors of the three dynasties, it is impossible for him not to know the situation in the capital, and it is even more impossible for him to live in the mansion of a general who suppresses the country at will. Could it be that he... In thinking, he raised his foot into the main hall.

The servant sang the newspaper, and the people in the main hall stood aside one after another to make way for him. He walked up to Mr. Feng and saluted, "Master Feng, long time no see."

"Long time no see." Mrs. Feng took the seat on her own, and accepted his salute casually and naturally, "Come, sit." He invited Xia Zhen to sit down like his master.

Xia Zhen smiled and sat down under him, and asked with a smile, "Have the children greeted you?"

"Well, I've seen them all." Feng Jiangyi asked: "I heard that you invited Jiang Duo, a famous scholar from the south of the Yangtze River, to be their teacher?"

Xia Zhen nodded: "Yes."

"It's true that you have invited a wife whose real surname is Jiang."

Xia Zhen and his wife looked at each other and smiled, yes, there really is such a wonderful fate in this world.

Ma Min'er said: "Master, since you live in my house, you can be my free master."

"Okay, I'm afraid that your children won't want to learn from this bad old man like me."

"No, grandpa." Of course, the boss of the Xia family had heard of Mr. Jiang's reputation, and he admired him very much.

Zhuang Taoran knew that Master Feng had accepted his father as an apprentice, so he also followed him, calling, "Master Zu!"

"Yiran, you are also at Xia's house!"

"Yes, Shizu." His father often took him to visit the old grand master, drinking tea and learning chess with him, so they were old acquaintances.

"The Xia family is fun."

Zhuang Taoran was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, "Yes, Master!"

"Haha..." Feng Jiangyi stroked his beard and laughed.

Liu Zaicheng came in from the outside, and when he heard Feng Jiangyi's laughter, he immediately recommended his son to him, "Master, this is my dog, please teach me a thing or two."

"The boy of Prince Liang's Mansion."

"Yes, old master." Liu Zaicheng laughed along with him.

Feng Jiangyi nodded and smiled back: "No problem, as long as they must listen to my old man's nagging, anyone can listen, even if it is a girl."

"Wow, Master Jiang is still open-minded." Ma Min'er immediately smiled and flattered her.

Feng Jiangyi laughed again.

-

Feng Jiangyi lived in the Beijun Prince's Mansion, and like a gust of wind, he blew to the corner where he should blow, "Does the Emperor know?"

"Back to Lord Hou, we are the eyes and ears of the emperor, we didn't say it, the emperor is afraid..."

Sima Wanli squinted his osprey eyes, and the dim light flickered: "Then tell the emperor quickly."

"Yes, I will pass on the news right away." The staff turned around and waved their hands. A hidden guard disappeared, and he smiled flatteringly and said, "Master Hou, those two people came over just now and said that they couldn't find him." If there is a suitable opportunity to strike, I would like to ask Master Hou to give me some pointers."

"Opportunity?" Sima Wanli's eyes were like knives, "There really is."

"Master Hou, what chance?"

-

Liu Zaili was the same as when he was young, when he was not doing business, he liked to nest in his private small courtyard, while quietly listening to his servants report on the big and small affairs in the capital, while slowly resting his mind.

In these years, he didn't do much murder and robbery for the emperor, so when he was not in the mansion, he basically stayed here, spending his leisurely time like an old man.

Seeing that the emperor is getting older and jealous day by day, he feels that it may be a good thing to keep a distance from the emperor, but...as His Royal Highness and the other princes grow up day by day, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on blowing.

If the other party wasn't so eager to step on him, maybe he would still maintain the status quo, but now...he suddenly asked, "Has the news been sent?"

The dark guard jumped out, "Master Hui, I've sent it over."

"Any response?"

"Master Hui, it's the same as the old master living in the Beijun Palace, without any noise."

"There is no sound?" Liu Zaili grinned, "When there should be movement, but there is no movement, it means that the time has not come. As soon as the time comes, there must be a mountain wind and a tsunami."

"Grandpa, what do we need to do?"

"Stay still, but never relax for a moment."

"Yes."

Just as the dark guard wanted to leave, Liu Zaili asked again, "What has Zhao Yuyan been doing lately?"

An Wei said: "As usual, it looks like an official business, but in fact it is secretly collecting evidence of the Sima family's crimes."

Liu Zaili laughed disdainfully, "The things he collects are not as many as in my hands."

The hidden guard didn't respond, and waited quietly for the master to issue an order, but the master seemed to just say something casually, and he quietly retreated without further words.

-

I heard that Dong Darui, who was like a Maitreya Buddha, was old and loose when the King of Beijun returned to the capital. When he was not smiling, his old face was loose and loose. Seeing me again, I'm afraid I won't call me Maitreya again."

"Boss... will the robbed servant come back to our robbed shop?"

Dong Darui shook his head: "It doesn't matter!"

"Master, but you..."

"It's just because I can't see the past."

"But old man, since we don't want to go back to the shop, why bother to offend those people. If we offend them, we might not even have a foothold in Yizhou Prefecture."

Dong Darui sat blankly, "It's also a coincidence, that family has been favored by the princess of Beijun, and has always wanted to repay it, and now finally found the opportunity, so let's repay it."

"Old man, once this kind of thing is done, it will be a big mistake."

"Hmph..." Dong Darui snorted coldly, "It's not a big mistake, we haven't told the North County King yet!"

-

For some reason, Princess Yunle felt that the atmosphere in the palace was not right. After greeting the Empress Dowager and the Empress, she did not go to other places, and returned directly to Concubine Shu Palace.

After entering the palace, I asked all the maids, big and small, inside and outside the palace not to go out, "If anyone goes out, I will demote that person to be an errand in the cold palace."

The palace maids didn't take it seriously when they first heard it, but they didn't dare to disobey the meaning of the favored princess. When they heard the latter sentence, they knew that the princess was serious, and they all knelt down in fright, "Yes, princess, the slaves dare not. "

"It doesn't matter if you dare, if you collide with something, don't blame me and concubine mother for not going to save you."

"The slaves dare not."

"Then go back to your room and stay there."

"Yes, Your Royal Highness." The off-duty maids hurriedly retreated to their rooms.

Seeing that her daughter was so serious, Ma Hui'er asked Lu Qi to close the door of the inner bedroom, and asked urgently, "Le'er, what's the matter?"

"I don't know." Yun Le shook her head.

"I don't know, what are you doing?" Ma Hui'er said, "If you make such a fuss and restrain the maid's feet, if you spread the word, you will be dragged over by the queen to give a lecture."

"Mother and concubine, my daughter has an intuition that we should close the door and live our own little life."

intuition?The daughter said such words again, and Ma Huier remembered the last time, a few years ago, when a concubine who was fighting for favor was killed by the holy majesty in front of all the concubines. That time Qing killed many court ladies. ?
"Mother..."

"Mother and concubine listen to you." Ma Hui'er believed her daughter, turned her head and shouted: "Did you hear, Luqi?"

Luqi nodded, "I heard this, I'll go down and clean the inside and outside of the hall, and then quietly close the hall."

"Well, be careful."

"Yes, empress, the servant knows."

-

With the arrival of Xia Zhen, king of Beijun, the capital city has become undercurrents. Now, the former old grand master swaggered to live in the palace of Beijun prince. Although old grand master Feng resigned, his disciples were all over the Wei Dynasty. If he If there is any move, it can trigger the whole situation.

"Haha..." Feng Jiangyi put down a white piece, "It's too flattering to me."

In the room at the moment, besides Xia Zhen and Zhuang Hao, there is another young man, that is Xia Yifan, he is already 12 years old, and his father has consciously brought him by his side to do things, not to mention, he has worshiped the old master as his teacher.

When the grown-ups talked, Xia Yifan not only listened with his ears, but also filtered with his brain. He just didn't interrupt, because he knew that he was still young and only qualified to listen.

Xia Zhen glanced at the old teacher and said with a smile: "People in the world always like to step on the highs and the lows, it's normal."

Feng Jiangyi half smiled, "Don't think that my disciples are all over the Great Wei Dynasty, that's all false, in fact there are not many disciples."

Zhuang Hao frowned, "The old master's words are biased!"

"No, no, it's the truth. Those who seem to be my disciples are just in line with my interests, and they automatically stand on my side." Feng Jiangyi said.

"It turns out to be like this." Zhuang Hao said: "Old Master, if your interests are damaged, will these people..."

"I have nothing to lose."

Xia Zhen and Zhuang Hao looked at Feng Jiangyi together.

Feng Jiangyi's face no longer had a smile on his face, "Zhuang Hao, you should take the princess to visit the mountains and rivers."

"Old master..." Zhuang Hao was startled.

Feng Jiangyi looked at Xia Zhen, "He has done what he can do for you, let him go quickly, otherwise the loss outweighs the gain."

"But……"

Feng Jiangyi didn't give Xia Zhen a chance to ask questions at all, and directly stated his own judgment: "Go to Jiangnan and bring your wife and children with you."

"Why?" Zhuang Hao was puzzled.

"Don't ask, I won't answer you if you ask."

"Old Master—" Zhuang Hao stood up in shock.

Xia Zhen also stood up from the old grand master, "Old grand master..."

"Sit... sit..., what should I do!"

Feng Jiangyi's attitude caused Xia Zhen's brain to turn around quickly. After a while, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly realized that he was reckless, and said quickly: "I'm sorry, see you!"

"I..." I just want to do something for you, I don't want to be a Taoist priest talking about me.

Xia Yifan didn't expect to hear such news. He quietly left his father's study room and stood by the porch for a long time. A branch of a crabapple tree in the courtyard stretched out to the porch. He stretched out his hand and rubbed it unconsciously, waiting for him to recover Only then did he realize that the crabapple branch had been broken by him, he pursed his lips, flicked his sleeves and left the front of the corridor.

-

Xia Xian has become much quieter in the past two days, not because she wants to be quiet, but because of her playmate Wen Jing, she is unknowingly attracted by the other party's accumulated temperament, and subconsciously becomes dignified and ladylike.

"I think my sister-in-law must be very happy to see me like this."

Zhuang Yiran smiled, "Why should she be happy, chaste, virtuous and quiet, shouldn't it be the quality of our girl family?"

"..." Xia Xian blinked, "But...but my sister-in-law said that you should be happy first, if you are not happy, everything else is just floating clouds."

"But I'm also very happy!" Zhuang Yiran said in her heart, my father is gentle and polite, and my mother is simple and happy, so I have always been very happy, and said with a smile: "It has nothing to do with being cheerful and quiet."

"Uh...you seem to be right."

Zhuang Yiran laughed, "My father studied Taoism, so I also learned some dialectics. I'm a bit lenient, please don't worry about it, Sister Xian!"

"It's okay, you're right, it's true." Xia Xian smiled easily, "Then I don't have to pretend to be a lady, anyway, no matter what I do, we will still be friends, right?"

"Yes, that's right, if you like a friend, you have to like his shortcomings and advantages, otherwise you are not a real friend."

"Oh my god, Yiran, what you said is so appetizing to me, it really deserves my trip to the capital." Xia Xian was very happy, "You must stay in my mansion until I leave the capital."

Haha... Only Xia Xian, who is pure in heart, can shout such domineering words without regard to details.

Zhuang Yiran smiled, and did not give up on what her friend said when she was full of emotions and impulsiveness. She believed that she would secretly modify the words when it was appropriate, and there was no need for her to sternly reject or stop her now.

Oh my god, an 11-year-old girl who has such an understanding of life is indeed Mr. Zhuang's daughter.

What Xia Xian didn't expect was that two days later, Mr. Zhuang took his wife and children to Jiangnan for a trip.

"How could this happen?" Xia Xian looked at the carriage going away, feeling very sad. It was rare for her to have a friend who broke up so soon.

Yes, how could this happen? Ma Min'er looked at Xia Zhen, lowering his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Logically speaking, Xia Zhen has only entered the capital city for eight years. If Mr. Zhuang can rush back from Xicaogou, let go of his status as a horse attache, and let the two children stay in the mansion, it is impossible to go on a trip suddenly. What is the reason?

Ma Min'er could only think about Feng Jiangyi, could it be that Master Jiang said something?Or Xia Zhen's actions will affect Mr. Zhuang, but Mr. Zhuang is a vassal who doesn't care about the world, so what could affect him?

Ma Miner couldn't figure it out.

In the capital, it was rumored that Zhuang Fuma had been instructed by Feng Jiangyi to go to Lingshan in the south to ask questions, but he didn't know that he could only come back in the Year of the Monkey.

"Ask?" The queen sneered when she saw the letter left by her second daughter, "However, at such a young age, I had the Taoist demeanor in front of me, and I actually followed her."

"Your Majesty..." The Great Palace Maid said, "Why don't the servants chase the Great Princess back?"

"Forget it, since Rainbow Dash doesn't think my mother is doing it for their own good, then let her go."

The grand maid seemed regretful and said sadly: "Princess Yunbao will one day understand the painstaking efforts of the empress."

"Understood? A mother never expects her children to understand." The queen sighed infinitely, and through Shensi's eyes, it seemed that she was not only talking about Rainbow Dash, but also other people, "Forget it, the south is her brother's territory, she Even if you go, you will be taken care of.”

"The Empress is right."

"You go down first."

"Yes, ma'am."

The queen sat quietly on the couch, leaning on her forehead with one hand, squinting her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

-

"Master Hou, what do you mean by Feng Jiangyi? Could it be that you keep the second horse away from Xia Zhen?"

Sima Wanli squinted his eyes.

The master didn't answer, so the staff had to ask and answer by themselves: "Unexpectedly, the master Feng Jiangyi is kind to the apprentice, so don't let him get mixed up with Xia Zhen."

Sima Wanli raised his eyelids and glanced at his staff, "Feng Jiangyi has always been a hypocrite. He knows that the second Fuma is not in the center of power, and it is useless to keep it. It is better to sell favors to him."

"It's still the Lord Hou's analysis that's right."

Sima Wanli snorted coldly: "For me, the Second Fuma is not worth mentioning at all. What we need to do now is..."

"Master Hou, just wait for the opportunity."

"Tell them that there is only one chance, and you have to hit it right away, otherwise you will ruin the big things above."

"Yes, Lord Hou, I'll tell them right now."

-

Walking in the flowery season of May, apart from Zhuang Hao feeling lost, Yun Bao and a pair of daughters are quite comfortable, "You don't want friends?"

"It's okay." Zhuang Yiran said: "We are young, I believe we will meet again!"

"Well, that's true." Rainbow Dash asked her son again, "What about you?"

"I'm thinking of the gentle Brother Xia, the mischievous Second Brother Xia and Second Brother Liu, they are quite interesting." Zhuang Taoran felt a little reluctant.

"It's all your father's fault, just leave as soon as you say." Yun Bao turned her head, "Brother Hao, why did you leave in such a hurry, after a while, you can come to Jiangnan again!"

Zhuang Hao said: "The old grand master said that you must be sincere in seeking immortals and asking questions, and you can't do whatever you want."

"But isn't your seeking the Tao just to 'do whatever you want'?" Rainbow Dash asked puzzled.

Uh... Zhuang Hao didn't expect his wife to tell the essence of the matter, and she couldn't tell any excuses or lies.

In the evening, they went to the inn in the small town to work. After eating, Zhuang Yiran went into her room and washed up. Just when she was about to go to bed, the second-class girl was ushered in by the big girl, "What's the matter?"

"County Master, Mr. Xia asked... asked the younger one to send you a letter." The little girl was startled when the letter was stuffed.

"Master Xia...why did he send me a letter?" Zhuang Yiran is a true descendant of the royal family. Although she is young, she handles things in a calm and orderly manner, probably because her mother is too childish. The mother is more in charge of the house.

"Little... I don't even know about the little ones." The little girl was trembling with fear that she might be sold the letter from the outsider.

Zhuang Yiran seemed to see the gentle and elegant eldest son of the Xia family, he was a little puzzled, "He and his younger brother had a very happy conversation, the letter should be for him."

"Go back to the county master, the young master has it."

"Oh." Hearing that my younger brother has one, Zhuang Yiran didn't feel the letter was abrupt, "Bring it here."

The eldest girl took the letter from the second girl and handed the letter to the master.

Zhuang Yiran lightly pinched the green onion fingers, and the letter slipped out of the envelope: half a bowl of fermented rice, 1 egg. Method: 1. Crack the eggs and beat them vigorously with chopsticks. The more scattered the eggs, the more beautiful the eggs .

2. Boil the water, it must boil, otherwise the eggs will not be boiled.

3. Quickly scoop up boiling water, pour half a bowl of boiling water into the beaten eggs, and the eggs will turn into egg drops. At this time, add an appropriate amount of fermented rice, and a bowl of delicious fermented egg drop soup is ready!
It was actually a recipe, Zhuang Yiran was stunned, what is the meaning of this?Could it be that, as father said, Princess Beijun is a gourmet, and so is his son?But how did he know that he likes to eat fermented egg drop soup?How can you send yourself a recipe in such a detailed manner?
That young man with a beautiful appearance, who is different from the temperament of the children of the aristocratic family in Beijing, is calm and immediate, like a pine under the moon, and when he smiles lightly, like the warm sun in winter, he becomes clearer and clearer like the shadow in the mirror.

"Princess—" the big girl called softly seeing the county lord in a daze.

Uh... Zhuang Yiran was stunned from the contemplation, folded the letter lightly with both hands, and put the letter in a small delicate box next to the bed herself.

-

Except for five days and early morning, Xia Zhen's life in the capital seems to be very leisurely, except for occasionally going to a restaurant for a drink with Xiao Lin and Liu Zaili, or inviting Xiao Lin to his house for a meal, everything seems to be very peaceful .

In fact, in the area bordering Liao in the north, wars are raging everywhere. Either you advance or I retreat. After ten years, the Liao people have grown rapidly, annexed Jin, Xixia, and a small number of Mongolians, and became the Northwest The largest tribal confederacy in the country.

Zhang Nianmei and Gu Dun have replaced Xia Zetao as the highest commanding generals stationed in the north. One is in Liangzhou City and the other is at the junction of Xiangyi.

Ma Min'er didn't know about Xia Zhen, but she noticed the change in her son's mood. She found that the 12-year-old eldest son seemed to grow up in an instant after entering Beijing.

"Why don't you go play with Chen'er and Yan'er?"

"I'm not a seven-year-old child." Xia Yifan replied lightly.

Ma Miner's eyebrows were raised high, "Just a few days ago, I saw you playing crazy with them, why do you despise them now!"

"Mother—" the young man frowned in dissatisfaction, "I am naughty, you think I am ignorant, now I am naughty, and you think I am not lively, it is so difficult to be your son!"

"Hey, brat..." Ma Min'er reached out to slap him on the head, but he dodged it, "How dare you run away..."

Why don't you run away, I'm not stupid, Xia Yifan grinned, and ran away naked, leaving behind a flamboyant and slender figure.

"This is just like my son. Why did he come to Beijing and become a fool?" Ma Min'er said to herself, without realizing that her son had grown up unconsciously.

In addition to learning from the old master Feng, several children would also be invited by aristocratic families. For example, Liu Zaili invited the children of Xia Zhen and Liu Zaicheng to the mansion as guests.

Xiao Lin also invited Xia Zhen and Liu Zaicheng. Although his children have grown up and are studying in Taixue, he still brought the twins home to entertain the young guests.

Xiao Xun and Xiao Ze remembered how the princess of Beijun was kind to them when they were young, so they were very kind to the two children, and they invited three boys to visit the capital alone, because their father was a master of black and white in the capital. Unimpeded, just like visiting your own backyard.

Xia Yichen clicked his tongue, "It's boring!"

The 17-year-old Ozawa was like a little adult when he was a child, but now he is more like an adult. His demeanor is comparable to that of the extraordinary Zhuang Hao. He smiled slightly, "The capital city is not the same as Liangzhou!"

"It doesn't matter if he is different, let's play." The seven-year-old Xia Er actually understood Xiao Ze's meaning, but he didn't take it seriously, he was used to dominance in the north, and he didn't realize the danger at all.

After all, Boss Xia is a bit older, and he has also heard his father's training. He knows that the land under the emperor's feet is not one-third of an acre of his own family.

Second Xia pursed his lips, "Oh, yes, Brother Ze, is there any interesting place for us to play? It's so boring when everyone is respectful everywhere we go!"

"It's better to take you to Taixue to play Cuju."

"is it okay?"

"Of course!"

"Great."

A few boys went to Taixue happily, but they didn't know that behind them, there were many people behind them, including guards and of course assassins.

-

A pair of twins is Xiao Lin's treasure. No one can touch him. According to his extreme characteristics, no one in the capital dares to touch them. But these days are different. He and Xia Zhen came together. His child Then there is danger.

"Master, what should we do? There are many dark grids behind."

Xiao Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, "I don't believe they dare to do it."

"My lord, it's not a question of whether you believe it or not, but there are really many people who are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case..."

Xiao Lin narrowed his eyes, put his fingers in front of him, rubbed them subconsciously, and his subordinates waited for him to make a decision.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly put down his rubbing fingers, "Since I am the landlord, then kill them."

"My lord, if this is the case, then don't we have a confrontation with the Sima family?"

Xiao Lin snorted coldly, "I, Xiao Lin, am not a vegetarian."

The subordinates still did not move.

Xiao Lin raised his eyes, narrowed his sharp eyes, and his subordinates trembled in fright, and hurried out.

-

Although Liu Zaili's son, Liu Duanyan, had dinner with the Xia family brothers, he didn't get close to them. When he saw Mr. Xiao's son taking them into Taixue Cuju, he was a little surprised. The students around him asked him, "Duanyan, do you know them?"

"Ah."

"Who is that kid holding hands with Liu Xiangyan? He looks quite flamboyant."

Liu Duanyan chuckled, "Have you heard of the king of Beijun?"

"Ah, I've heard that the King of Beijun is famous like a thunderbolt, and he never fails to fight wars, donate food for disaster relief!"

Since Zhao Yuning didn't like the people from the faction of the North County Prince's Mansion and didn't get close, Liu Duanyan also didn't like them.

When Liu Xiangyan saw his cousin in the next room, he called from afar, "Brother Duan...Brother Duan..."

11-year-old Liu Duanyan raised his hand according to his education.

Xia Yifan glanced at his cousin, and then at Liu Duanyan who was far away. Emotional intelligence is probably hereditary. He doesn't like the son of King Yancheng, although the two of them have already walked around each other. Friends, but not enthusiastic.

It's normal not to know the brothers of the Xia family, but no one doesn't know Xiao Lin's twins, they are people who can walk sideways in the capital, even the county kings of the prince's mansion will give face.

So when the students of Taixue saw their brothers, they surrounded a group of people to come up.

"We have seven or eight people here, and there are still two or three people short, who will come!" Xiao Xun asked with a smile.

"I'll come, I'll come..." Several sons of aristocratic families signed up.

Seeing the crowd huddled together, Xiao Xun said with a smile, "Well, my eldest brother and I will each lead a team. Everyone will be lined up according to age. Let's have a friendly match."

"Okay, okay..." All the young masters agreed one after another.

The children of these aristocratic families are all masters in playing. After a while, they organized two teams to play on the pasture. Not only that, but the dean of the Imperial College heard that two good students took the lead in playing Cuju, and he also Follow around to watch the fun.

It seems that in what era, good students can always get preferential treatment.

It's just... the first half was not over yet, a group of black-clothed blacks flew in from Taixue Grass. stopped.

A fight was actually staged in front of these noble family children, almost all of them screamed timidly and ran towards the sheltered place.

Only the brothers of the Xia family were still standing on the pasture, like soldiers who often go to the battlefield. They judged the enemy's situation first, and then confirmed the direction of escape, or how to deal with it. With just one look, they quickly found their guards and took the knife with their hands. , standing on the grass and staring at the man in black.

"Eldest Young Master, please step back." The dark guard was disturbed by his Eldest Young Master's calmness, and had no choice but to remind him.

Xia Yifan stared at the man in black who was fighting, and replied, "I know!" When he found that the man in black who was assassinated seemed to be blocked by the hidden guards, he took his brother's hand slowly, "Let's go, let's avoid it first." a bit."

"Brother, these people are really disappointing."

"Don't spoil the fun. If you want to play, let's invite these young masters to the mansion for another game."

"Really, brother."

"certainly.!"

Xia Zhen was not surprised when she heard that the assassin had assassinated her son. After waiting for so many days, those people finally made a move, but their goal was not their son, but themselves.

He raised his head and stretched out his hand to grab the center of his eyebrows, "Don't tell the princess."

"Yes, Lord, what if the two sons come back and tell the princess?"

"They won't let their mother worry."

"Yes, master, I understand." Jing Mo asked, "Master, what should we do now?"

"Wait for a chance."

"Master, is Mr. Zhao still alright?"

Xia Zhen replied: "It's not that Mr. Zhao is not ready, but that the time we need has not yet come."

"Yes, Grandpa, I understand, little one."

"Go, thank Xiao Lin."

"Yes, Master!" The startled ink flashed and disappeared.

Feng Jiangyi only received the message in the afternoon. It was passed by his son Feng Zhiping. When Xia Zhen had afternoon tea with him, he mentioned, "What do you think now?"

"Can I still have an idea?" Xia Zhen's face was half angry and half helpless.

Feng Jiangyi sighed, "I originally thought that my residence in the Beijun Prince's Mansion would make the Holy Majesty feel sorry for me, but I didn't expect..." He smiled wryly, "Lao Luo, Lao Luo... No one has given me face anymore."

Xia Zhen said: "Old master, if I, Xia Zhen, do anything excessive, please be considerate!"

Feng Jiangyi looked up at him in a daze, "You..."

"I just want to go back to the north, and stick to the Xia family and the Great Wei Dynasty!"

"Great Wei Dynasty... Great Wei Dynasty..." Feng Jiangyi sighed, "Let Erniang bring me the yogurt recipe and cake recipe, I'm going home."

Xia Zhen didn't say anything for a long time.

When Xiaowen went to inform Ma Miner, she was startled, "What's going on, isn't it going to stay in our house?"

Xiaowen pouted, meaning, even if I knew, I wouldn't say it.

Ma Min'er knew that this was not for her to worry about, "Okay, I know." She hurriedly asked the girl to pack all the yogurt and cakes at home, and wrote the recipe herself. The waiter called over, explained it himself, and then gave up when he was relieved.

As soon as the news of the failed assassination passed to Sima Wanli, he heard the news that Feng Jiangyi had left the Beijun Palace.

"Master, although they failed, Grand Master Feng left the Beijun Prince's Mansion, which means that the old Grand Master no longer protects Xia's family. Can we exchange for some means?"

Shendao Zhuang Hao left, and Feng Jiangyi entered the Beijun Prince's Mansion seemingly in a daze, and left inexplicably after an assassination, what's the point?Climbing to the emperor's side to become popular, Sima Wanli is not a fool without brains.

"Come on, let me check it out, what exactly does the crazy old man want?"

"Yes, my lord."

Liu Zaili is so busy these days that no one is around, even if his son wants to find him, he has no time. Almost all the things that happened in the capital these days are in his hands, and one of the most evil things is the concubine Ma Shu in the palace. .

"My lord, I have checked. Except that His Highness the Crown Prince saw the empress one more time than usual, there is nothing abnormal in the palace. I don't understand why Concubine Ma Shu quietly closed the palace."

"Could it be that the Ma family brought news into the palace?" Liu Zaili felt something was wrong.

"Master, other people don't know, but we know better than anyone else that Mrs. Xia Zhen and Ma Hui'er didn't move around at all, and the one above..." The following words were kept silent by the staff.

Liu Zaili knew what he was going to say. In fact, the Holy Majesty hoped that Concubine Ma Shu would have a son. He used the prince to restrain his relatives, and finally gave birth to a daughter. However, Concubine Ma Shuli was a smart person, and she treated the Concubine Ma Shu differently with indisputability and warmth. , can also be regarded as ability.

Close the hall quietly... Liu Zaili leaned on the couch and waved his hands, "Go down first, let me think about it."

"Master..." The staff thought for a while and reminded: "I remember a time a few years ago, and it was the same. A concubine who was fighting for favor was killed by the holy majesty in front of all the concubines. That time, many court ladies were killed. Concubine Ma Shu quietly closed the palace and avoided it before, could it be...?"

"Competing for favor?" Liu Zaili squinted his eyes, "Then go and find out, how will the palace fight?"

"Yes, sir."

-

Unknowingly, it has entered June, and the capital is at the grand occasion of gardening and flower fairs. Others are not familiar with Xia Zhen, and there are not many invitations. Not only that, but his gold and silver shop is still under the name of Dafuma. They have an interest relationship, so they must make a post.

Ma Min'er took the post and asked Xia Zhen, "Are you really going?" She still knew about the assassination of her sons when they went out, and it was the second child who slipped up.

"Ah."

"Will it be too dangerous?" Ma Min'er still remembered the assassination in Fuma Mansion.

"It's okay, Da Fu Ma Mansion." Xia Zhen returned calmly.
