In the evening, after leaving the Yamen, Zhou Yun came with Sister Hui.
"Uncle," the five-year-old sister Hui has picturesque features and a babyish voice, she is very cute.
Xu Jing loved her so much that she picked up her niece and gave her a kiss. She turned to Zhao Xiyan and smiled and said, "Sister Yue Ya'er, when we get married, I will have a daughter for you."
Zhao Xiyan's cheeks felt slightly hot, and she glanced at Xu Jing, who was speaking angrily.
There were so many people here, and there was no way to speak properly.
Sure enough, Xu Fang and Xu Zhi both laughed. Xu Fang smiled and said: "We are all equally happy when we have a son or a daughter."
"The eldest sister has two children, which is enviable." Xu Zhi took over the words with some regret: "I only gave birth to two naughty boys."
Zhu Zhenchuan, who had a colorful face, immediately said: "If you like a daughter, we can have one in the future."
Xu Zhi glanced at him.
Zhu Zhenchuan was used to being scolded, so the glare didn't hurt or bother him at all, he was still cheerful.
Sisters Xu Fang and Xu Zhi have a deep love for each other and have close contact with each other on weekdays. Zhou Yun and Zhu Zhenchuan are also very familiar with each other. When they met today, Zhou Yun was shocked by Zhu Zhenchuan's miserable appearance. At this time, he finally had the opportunity to ask: "Your face
What happened?"
Zhu Zhenchuan wanted to nod his face, but he couldn't say anything, so he coughed and tried to deal with it.
The brother-in-law on the side was not polite at all, and took the initiative to explain: "I was the one who did it. The second brother-in-law hangs around flowers all day long, and the second sister is in charge of the house and raising the children by herself. Life is very hard. In the past, I was far away and was powerless. Now I am here.
Now that we are in the capital, we naturally want to support the second sister and vent her anger. So I beat the second brother-in-law."
"Eldest brother-in-law, don't worry. I know that eldest brother-in-law has a gentle temperament, and he and his eldest sister are loving husband and wife. I will not do anything to eldest brother-in-law."
"By the way, now that I have some free time, I have to go to the Zhou family and pay a visit to the elders. I also want to show the elders of the Zhou family that there are people in the eldest sister's family, and they are not the ones to be bullied."
Zhou Yun: "..."
Zhou Yun glanced at his radiant wife Xu Fang and quickly smiled and said: "Okay, you can go whenever you want."
The eldest brother-in-law comes from a well-known family. He was born in a serious imperial examination. He works as an errand in the Hanlin Academy. He is modest and elegant.
Xu Jing was quite satisfied with the eldest brother-in-law. When his eyes drifted to the second brother-in-law, he suddenly let out a heavy groan in his heart.
The meal just now was relatively light.
After everyone got together, they chatted for a while and then went to the dining hall. They were all from the same family, so there was no need to worry about separate seats, so they just sat down around the round pear wood table.
Xu Fang and Xu Zhi kept picking up food for her baby brother.
Xu Jing kept picking up food for his fiancée.
Zhao Xiyan had not yet met her husband, and she was not familiar with her eldest brother-in-law and second brother-in-law at all, so she had to be more reserved. She did not speak, lowered her head and ate slowly.
After dinner, Xu Jing sent Zhao Xiyan back to Zhao Mansion.
Zhou Yun hugged Sister Hui and whispered to Xu Fang in a low voice: "Chunsheng looks reckless, but in fact he is smart and has a sense of proportion in his words and actions. I asked someone to find out, and Chunsheng became friends with the Crown Prince as soon as he entered the palace.
The princes and princes of the vassal family come and go without any trouble."
Xu Fang relaxed her brows and sighed with a smile: "Chunsheng is only fifteen years old this year. It is really difficult for him to be in such a predicament."
Xu Zhi and Zhu Zhenchuan, the couple on this side, look completely different.
Zhu Dalang and Zhu Erlang held his mother's hand as usual. Zhu Zhenchuan came over shamelessly, looking at his son with one eye and at Xu Zhi's face with the other: "Da Lang, please give in, dad also wants to be closer to your mother.
.”
Xu Zhi ignored Zhu Zhenchuan.
Zhu Zhenchuan was overjoyed in his heart. With Xu Zhi's temper, he acquiesced without glaring or scolding. Unfortunately, Zhu Dalang was unwilling to give in. Zhu Zhenchuan went to coax his younger son again and promised him a stick of candied haws, and then coaxed Zhu Erlang.
He had to let go, and he held Xu Zhi's hand happily.
Erlang is now five years old, and he finally holds his wife's hand again.
The two sisters lived together in the courtyard. After saying goodbye at the door of the courtyard, they went into their houses to rest.
Zhu Zhenchuan shamelessly sneaked into Xu Zhi's house.
Xu Zhi wanted to close the door, but couldn't bear Zhu Zhenchuan's plea, so she opened the door anyway, with a sullen face: "You are injured all over your body, you have to recover for a while. Why are you in such a hurry to enter my house?"
Zhu Zhenchuan didn't mind the pain in his face when he laughed: "I just want to have a good talk with you. I'll leave later."
Xu Zhi had a hard mouth but a soft heart. She glanced at Zhu Zhenchuan and suddenly sighed: "Zhu Zhenchuan, I will only give you this last chance. If you continue to do the same thing as before, our relationship as husband and wife will be completely severed."
Zhu Zhenchuan was flustered when he heard this. He kneeled down reflexively, with smooth movements and familiar postures. He didn't know how many times he had knelt down in the past few years: "Zhi Niang, I sincerely regret this time. Believe me, I will never lie to you again, let alone
I will let you down."
Xu Zhi's heart felt sour and unspeakable, water flashed in her eyes, and eventually turned into tears and fell.
…
The bright moon is like a silver plate, hanging in the sky.
The carriage moved forward leisurely.
In the carriage, an unmarried couple sat opposite each other, holding hands and whispering.
"Your Majesty, the Zhao Mansion is ahead." Xu San's voice sounded outside the carriage.
No matter how reluctant Xu Jing was to leave, he couldn't follow up with Zhao Mansion at night, so he had to send Zhao Xiyan in. Then he turned around.
Take a carriage when you arrive and ride a horse on the way back.
The heat of the day has dissipated, the cool breeze is blowing, and the moon is filling the sky. Riding on horseback is a special pleasure.
When Xu Jing thought about getting married in half a year, he felt even more happy and couldn't help but hum a ditty.
A strange sound suddenly reached my ears.
Xu Jing frowned, quickly turned over and dismounted, and an arrow passed close to the horse's back. Fortunately, he dodged in time, otherwise, this arrow would have killed him.
Xu San shouted angrily: "There are assassins protecting the crown prince!"
The more than twenty soldiers accompanying him surrounded him with lightning speed.
Soon after, another arrow flew towards him. Xu San, who was the most skilled, had amazing eyesight and the sharpest reaction. He swung his long knife and shot down the hidden arrow.
Several arrows flew towards him.
All the soldiers were blocking each other, and one of them was accidentally hit by an arrow in the abdomen, causing blood to flow profusely. The wounded soldier gritted his teeth and endured, refusing to cry out for pain, and refused to move or dodge, and continued to stand where he was.
They are in the light, while the assassins are in the dark. Moreover, this group of assassins is cunning and insidious. They hide in the dark, shoot secret arrows without showing up, and take advantage of their superiority.
Xu Jing, who was surrounded by all the soldiers, looked gloomy and full of anger. However, at this moment, it was more important to deal with the assassin first, and anger was useless.
Xu Jing took out something the size of a finger from the secret pocket in his sleeve, pulled out the fuse, and threw it into the air. Suddenly, a bright light exploded in the air, accompanied by a sharp sound, which was extremely dazzling. It was ten dozen meters away.
You can see clearly both inside and outside.
With the help of this light, Xu Jing's eyes glanced, and he quickly locked on a location, stretched out his hand and pointed: "The assassin is hiding under the eaves over there, follow me and rush over."
