The Way of Favors

Qi Zhu also received the post from the county palace.

She sits on the side of the window that is out of sunlight, watching the invitations she put on the bright table. The breeze blew in from outside, fluttering her veil, floating, and crystal tears fell.

I wanted to touch the post, but saw my hands wrapped in white gauze hanging down weakly.

If, if she is fine, she will be happy to receive this post, right?

She is two years older than Xu Xi, and she used to play when she was a child. The princess also liked her very much. The princess did not like to laugh by nature, but she remembered to bring her a separate gift every time she came back from the capital. With such a relationship, Qi Zhu has always felt that when she grows up, she will definitely be able to marry Xu Yan, Xu Yunsheng, the gentleman and gentleman of the prefectural palace.

However, when she finally reached the age of marriage and marriage, Fu Rong came. She was like the most blessed peony among thousands of flowers. She was so beautiful that she showed her face at the banquet for the first time, and she robbed all the ladies and girls from the sight. No matter whether you are jealous or envious, no one can deny that Fu Rong is the true number one beauty in Xinducheng.

Fu Rong is the daughter of the prefect. No matter how high his father is, he is far away in Shaanxi. It would be better for Fu Pinyan to be more worthy of flattery. So the ladies who always liked to be around her ran to Sister Fu Rong, and the praises of those ladies and wives were given to Sister Fu Rong, and even the two brothers in the family began to pay attention to them.

Qi Zhu can bear all these things, and what she is most afraid of is Fu Rong's going away from Xu Yan's heart. Fu Rong is good-looking, sweet-mouthed and can talk. Grandmother likes to call her around. As long as she is willing, it is not difficult to coax a good princess, right?

So she took precautions, and when she learned that the maid next to her had chickenpox and that her chickenpox became more likely to cause pockmarks, she dealt with Fu Rong.

It’s no use, Fu Rong is fine, and doesn’t know what her happy event is, like the first bud is looking forward to the sun and rain, and the sun and rain took the initiative to give her, moisturizing her more and more beautiful day by day, finally one day, Asked her to attract Xu Yan's attention, and even the princess of the county gave such a good meeting ceremony to the Fu sisters.

Compared with Fu Rong, she seemed to have no chance of winning.

But when Qi Zhu hesitated to continue harming others or give up, she found that her brother was in love with Fu Rong, so as long as she helped her brother and Fu Rong, Xu Yan would still belong to her!

Thinking of this, Qi Zhu suddenly let out a mocking smile.

She happily invited Fu Rong and happily created opportunities for her brother. She never thought that her brother liked Fu Rong to the point where she didn’t need a sister. Not only could she not marry Xu Yan, she could not marry anyone. To be an old girl...

With a "pop", Qi Zhu swept down the invitation.

Turning his head, he saw that Qi Ce did not know when he came.

Qi Zhu remained stunned for a while, crying and rushed towards his brother: "Brother, I want to go, I want to go..."

Qi Ce hugged his sister without saying a word. When Qi Zhu gradually calmed down, he whispered: "Forget that person." My sister is destined to miss Xu Yan. .

Qi Zhu didn't answer, Qi Ce motioned her to sit in the courtyard outside.

With the fragrance of birds and flowers, Qi Zhu felt relieved even if he was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery, thinking that Qi Ce had been to the prefectural palace several times recently, and asked: "Brother came back from the prefectural palace again?"

Qi Ce nodded, "Yun Sheng has an orphan copy in his hand. He doesn't allow me to bring it back. I have to go over and watch it."

Qi Zhu stared at him, and the strange feeling that he had just leaned in his brother's arms suddenly came out: "Did brother change the fragrance? It seems to be Jasmine?"

Qi Ce frowned insignificantly, and for a short while, he looked like usual: "The person who was serving took the wrong one. I will tell them to change it back. Don't talk about me, what did Azhu do today?"

Qi Zhu lowered her head, and after Qi Ce noticed something was wrong and called her two nicknames in succession, she threw the veil twisted in her hands without warning: "You have a woman out there, don't you? You agree I want to marry Fu Rong. It doesn’t matter if you play with others. If you want to marry someone else and be my sister-in-law, I will not be the first one!"

My brother has always been very picky, how could he use such inferior incense?

Qi Ce moved his eyebrows, his hands under the table clenched his fists tightly, and it took a while to suppress the irritability that had been built up since the beginning of the year. Not wanting to quarrel with her sister, but didn't have the patience to endure her unreasonable troubles, Qi Ce stood up coldly and walked directly outside.

Qi Zhu was stunned, and the next moment he hurriedly chased him, crying and stopping in front of Qi Ce: "Brother, don't be angry, don't ignore me, I'm just suffering in my heart, it doesn't matter who you like, as long as you promise to replace me revenge……"

"I will marry her, you can wait with peace of mind."

Qi Ce walked around his sister sideways and left without looking back.

When Xu Xi passed his birthday on the seventh day of April, Xu Jin’s carriage stopped at the gate of the prefectural palace at dusk on the sixth day.

Xu Jin sat in the car with his eyes closed, and Xu Jia stepped forward and whispered to the guard in front of the door.

The guard was shocked, looked at the carriage, and hurried in to report.

"The county king, someone outside came to visit, claiming to be His Royal Highness King Su."

Xu Yao, an adult in the study, was rubbing an ordinary white jade hairpin in his hand. When he heard this, he raised his eyes and remembered that King Su had ordered to inspect the Yellow River embankment. He calculated that it was time for the trip to be here, so he took the hairpin. After receiving the box, he signaled Changsui to get the robes worn by the guests, while instructing: "Where is the son? Let him change clothes and go out with me to welcome the guests."

"Yes."

After a while, the father and son met in the front yard. Xu Yaocheng saw that his son's expression was a little wrong, and he said, "Is not feeling well?"

Xu Yan smiled: "No, I was tired from reading just now."

Xu Yaocheng glanced at him and took the lead away.

Xu Yan followed his father, smiling slightly.

His father is the emperor’s second cousin, and his mother is a cousin of the emperor. The emperor cares about brotherhood and declares that his family will return to Beijing for the New Year every year. As the son of a prefectural palace, he often goes in and out of the palace, and even studied in the Imperial Study Room. For several years, I have dealt with several princes.

Xu Jin was two years older than him. He was very few words. Except for his brother, the Sixth Prince, he didn't see who Xu Jin was particularly close to. Xu Yan and him were nodding acquaintances. But from the year before last, Xu Yan suddenly discovered that Xu Jin seemed to be hostile to him. Of course, Xu Jin had never really done anything. It was just an occasional eye contact, and Xu Yan realized that it was definitely not kindness.

Memories all the way, quickly bypassing the shadow wall.

Xu Jia saw it outside and said lightly to the carriage. Xu Jin got out of the carriage without any hurries, turned around, and saluted Xu Yaocheng, who just walked to the door: "Farewell after the new year. I haven't seen you in a few months, Wang How is Uncle?"

The 19-year-old King Su has a beautiful appearance and a radiant look. He has the dignity of the princes in his gestures, and the heroes of the generals on the battlefield between his eyebrows. He is long and standing like a green cypress and pine, although he has not reached the crown. But it's no longer suitable to be described as a young man.

Seeing the most outstanding one among the many nephews, Xu Yaocheng smiled infrequently: "I spend my days with books as my friend, and I don’t have to worry about Jingxing, but Jingxing is young and shoulders high hopes. It’s a hard journey to the south. Now, come to the house for a cup of tea."

Xu Jin thanked him politely, and his eyes moved to Xu Yan who was beside Xu Yaocheng.

Xu Yan smiled and called "fourth brother".

Xu Jin faintly replied "Yunsheng".

The two were instinctively defensive, the other was dissatisfied, and rarely spoke. Only Xu Yaocheng took the initiative to inquire about what he saw and heard on Xu Jin Road.

Not long after they were seated, the princess and daughter of the county came.

Xu Jin didn't have the slightest affection for the mother and daughter.

Since he accepted Fu Rong in his previous life, Fu Rong is his person. He doesn’t need to like him. Others bully Fu Rong. That means he will not be regarded as King Su in his eyes, even if the grievances between Fu Rong and the princess mother and daughter occur. Before entering Beijing. After the rebirth, Fu Rong was his prospective princess, so he was even more uncomfortable with the princess mother and daughter.

But he still ordered people to prepare gifts for the family of four, especially Xu Xi.

The princess of the county didn’t wait to see Xu Jin too much. She came from the Li family of the government of Qing Dynasty. Her sister was Duan, one of the four concubines. She had five princes under her knees. Although the emperor had long established a prince, she did not hinder the princes. The mother clan secretly competed. However, no matter what you think in your heart, the princess of the county will keep it on her lips, "Is Jingxing's schedule tight? If it is not urgent, stay for a few more nights. It is rare to come and let Yunsheng accompany you around. Although not as good as the capital, there are several places worthy of appreciation."

Xu Jin looked embarrassed. He looked at Xu Xi in a red dress. He smiled and said, "I wanted to stay for one night and leave. Since my sister's birthday tomorrow, Jing Xing should respect his fate, and stay for his sister to celebrate the next morning. Start again."

He doesn't like to laugh, but his laughter is comparable to the warmth of melting ice and snow.

Xu Xi, who was only twelve years old, stood beside his mother, his face flushed unconsciously at this smile.

Xu Jin didn't pay attention, and greeted them absently, and then led Xu Jia to settle in the guest room.

"Prepare water, I want to take a shower." Xu Jin closed his eyes and said, lying on the couch, his voice was lazy, with a joy that no one could understand, and he didn't know what interesting things he thought of.

Xu Jia was busy dutifully and dutifully, waiting for Xu Jin to take a comfortable hot bath, waiting for Xu Jin to rest after dinner, and waiting for the second shift when Xu Jin came out again. He hurriedly took a step ahead and was familiar with the road. Went to Fu Mansion.

The night in early summer was quiet and serene.

When Xu Jin came over, Mei Xiang, who was watching for Fu Rong at night, was already asleep, and the door of the house was hidden.

Pushing the door in, Xu Jin didn't even look at the maid sleeping on the couch, and went straight into the room.

The little girl's boudoir with a faint lotus fragrance was completely dark.

Xu Jin put the lantern in his hand on the head of the bed and stood quietly for a while before reaching out and opening the gauze tent in front of him.

With this gentle movement, like the branches of willow leaves swirling into the water, rippling in circles, Xu Jin took a deep breath of the familiar daughter's incense that was approaching his face, and looked down.

Fu Rong lay down on his side, sleeping soundly under the effect of the soothing fragrance, his body was thinly slipped off, revealing half of his snow-white arms.

Xu Jin stared at the red ribbon on the center of her back, breathing tightly.

She didn't even wear pajamas?
