The big bird stretched its neck and watched the girl climb into the wall in a supervisory manner, and then walked towards the dog hole with a relieved and satisfied pace.
Wu Chao looked at it and couldn't help but wonder - just ask if you don't understand. Do you dare to ask where this housekeeper came from to supervise the girls at home to return home on time?
Before the big bird got into the dog's hole, he looked back at him.
This look made the young man feel that he had instantly become the dissolute son in the eyes of the housekeeper who lured the ignorant little girl out of the house late at night.
The sense of immersion is so strong that I can't help but feel a little ashamed.
As A-Zhu climbed over the wall and entered, Xiao Qi led the horse over.
Seeing her young master standing there looking at the back door of Zhenguo Palace, Xiao Qi sighed deeply in her heart.
Hey, when will the young master be able to marry Miss Xu home, and when will he no longer have to experience the sadness of a family of three not being able to live under the same roof...
When Xu Mingyi took Ah Zhu back to Xiyuan, she realized that someone was still waiting for her to come back.
In the hall, Xu Mingshi was sitting on a chair. When he saw the girl come in, he put down the white porcelain tea cup with red crane pattern in his hand with a bang.
Xu Mingyi's eyelids twitched.
The old lady in charge was about to get angry when she saw the girl at home coming home late...
Could there be another sentence coming next——
"Where did you go? Why did you come back at such an hour?"
Xu Mingyi raised his eyebrows.
Yes, there is not a word wrong with it.
"I had to talk to Wu Shisun about something. I came back too late." She walked to the chair and sat down, taking a few mouthfuls of tea from Ali.
"..." Xu Mingshi's heart skipped a beat when he heard it - could such words be said so straightforwardly in front of a servant?
However, when he looked at this and that, none of the maids in the hall had any strange expressions on their faces. They were all extremely calm. Together... Do you know this?
Or is it that the servants in Xiyuan are all well-educated and well-informed, and have long been accustomed to Xu Mingyi's shocking words. Is he making a fuss?
"We're going to leave tomorrow, why don't you rest early?" Xu Mingyi put down the tea cup and asked, "Waiting for me to come back here, but what's the matter?"
"You also know that I am leaving tomorrow." The boy frowned slightly and asked her, "Why did you make the decision for me without consulting me?"
Xu Mingyi was stunned: "Didn't father discuss it with you?"
After she and her father discussed the matter yesterday, she asked her father to go find her second uncle and discuss it with Mingshi. If they reached an agreement, she would report the matter to the emperor——
"No." Xu Mingshi still frowned: "Father just told me, let me tell you, it was you who made the decision."
Xu Mingyi couldn't help but remain silent.
Why does her father's inconsistent behavior make her feel like "using the name of a bully to suppress innocent people without giving them the slightest chance to speak up and refuse"?
In order to save trouble, my father is really good enough...
"Perhaps my father misunderstood what I meant. I did want to discuss it with you originally." Xu Mingyi looked at the boy whose jaw was slightly tense and asked, "But don't you want to go?"
Xu Mingshi immediately said: "Of course not."
Such a big thing happened to my grandfather. As a junior, he naturally wanted to go.
Xu Mingyi did not hide this fact from him that his grandfather was not ill but poisoned.
Xu Mingyi looked at him.
It’s not that I don’t want to go.
So...do you feel that the "discussion" process is missing and you want a sense of ceremony?
After all, the child is older, so perhaps he values being respected more.
Then she would fix it on the spot.
Xu Mingyi thought that her sister was doing quite well now, "Why is that?"
Facing her eyes full of discussion, Xu Mingshi's face softened slightly, but in fact, the tense expression just now was not because he was losing his temper, he was just...
"Why did you arrange for my second uncle and me to leave Beijing, but you didn't go yourself?"
She obviously likes to be the first in everything, not to mention that if something happens to her grandfather, she must be as anxious and worried as anyone else.
"Me." Xu Mingyi asked back, "I want to go too, but how can I be separated from everything in the family?"
Hearing this reason, Xu Mingshi's lips twitched.
However, if you think about it carefully, you have to admit that this is indeed the truth.
During the period when her grandfather was away, everything in the house was supported by her father, mother and her, especially her - the antidote secretly sent by Uncle Yun Liu a few days ago could not fall from the sky while sitting at home.
came down.
Now, apart from his grandfather's safety, what he cares about most is: "Will the capital be in danger?"
Xu Mingyi did not deny it: "Nowadays, no matter where you are, it is not truly safe. Mingshi, you should know who the biggest enemy of our Xu family is now, right?"
Xu Mingshi nodded.
He is the current emperor.
That's why he was worried about whether she would encounter any danger if she stayed in the capital with her father and mother.
"Since you know who he is, you should also understand what kind of situation your family is facing now."
Xu Mingyi looked at the boy whose face and eyes had lost most of his childishness, and said: "My grandfather is now in a coma and is in danger. At this time, the imperial court sent an imperial envoy to go, and the intention is obviously not pure. If something happens, you will be needed to calm him down."
The grandson of the Duke's Mansion has come to calm the morale of the army and stabilize the situation——"
Stabilize military morale?
Stabilize the situation?
Xu Mingshi felt guilty after hearing this. Could he do such a big thing?
"And when you and your second uncle go to Dongyuan, the journey may not be peaceful, so you need to be more careful." Xu Mingyi said warmly: "But my grandfather and Xu Jiajun need you at this time, and didn't you always say that you want to experience it?"
Children always need some encouragement when they go away from home for the first time.
And her family Mingshi also needs to be needed.
Xu Mingshi was already shaken when he heard this, "But you are in the capital..."
"Don't worry, the capital is more or less stable than the outside. In the final analysis, what the emperor wants is the military power of the Xu family army, and he will not dare to act rashly until he actually gets it."
Xu Mingshi felt a little at ease after hearing this.
At this time, Xu Mingyi blinked at him, with a hint of smile in his tone: "Mingshi, this time I have to rely on you to protect me and my father and mother outside."
This sentence made the boy feel strong and courageous from the bottom of his heart, and the hesitation he had felt just now was swept away, replaced by a look of determination: "Don't worry, I will definitely bring my grandfather back safely as soon as possible."
Whether it works or not, someone has to do it!
I remember that when my grandfather was at his age, he already had a group of beggars following him who didn't have enough to eat. My grandfather was born in a poor family and didn't know a lot of characters. He didn't have any relatives around him to help him, but he was able to break out of such a business with his own energy.
Something big——
And he has been studying for so many years, relying on his status in the family, he thinks he has a bit of vision and knowledge, and it is said that a tiger father has no dog son, well, although his father is more like a big orange cat... But he is
As Xu Qiwei's grandson, he can't be a loser no matter what!
