Thin skinned Xu Erlang looks at his elder brother and his father, and his mouth twitches several times.

In the embarrassing atmosphere of numbing scalp, Xu Qi'an cleared his throat and said:

"it's delicious. It seems that I can smell the cooking skills of sister Lingyue.

"Second uncle, don't get drunk tonight."

Embarrassed atmosphere was broken, the three men tacit understanding of the bag of tangerine hidden in the side of the body, pretending to ignore.

In the process, Xu Qi'an takes a look at Erlang, but he doesn't change his face. He has already covered up his embarrassment.

In the past two years, Erlang has grown up a lot. When he was found hanging in his old house, he was so embarrassed that he wanted to die on the spot...

The three men entered the mansion and went straight to the inner hall.

In the inner hall, the candles are bright. Under the eaves are some ice skates. The smell of food wafts out from the open door.

Many servants came and went in the inner courtyard, adding some pretty maids.

In more than a month after he left Beijing, the Xu family bought many servants.

"There are also many people freezing to death in the capital. There is a shortage of servants in the family. Your aunt asked the housekeeper to buy some servants, and at least gave them a way to live."

Xu said.

Xu Qi'an nodded. Although she was careful, she loved face and thought she was a fairy. She had a lot of problems. However, a woman who is respectable, carefree and doesn't need to fight for favor can't have a bad heart.

Lin'an is also an example. Thanks to the years of cultivation by Emperor Jingdi of the Yuan Dynasty, there is no soil for intrigue in the palace. If Lin'an lived in such an atmosphere for a long time, it might not be so innocent and kind as it is now.

"In the year of disaster, there is no way." Xu Qi'an looked at Xu's new year and said with a smile:

"why didn't my aunt buy a Tong Fang for Erlang?"

Xu Er Shu "ha ha" said with a smile: "Erlang will be engaged with Shoufu Qianjin in two months. Your aunt dare not offend Shoufu Qianjin."

Xu cijiu frowned and was dissatisfied with the ridicule of his elder brother and father.

As he spoke, the three entered the inner hall, with charcoal pots in the four corners. The food on the table is rich, and there are all kinds of delicacies, which is obviously not the norm of Xu's dinner.

Aunt and Lingyue are sitting at the tea table, while Xu Lingyin and Lina come to the table and watch the food eagerly.

"Lingyin, don't think about stealing food. You'll have dinner when your elder brother comes back."

My aunt warned.

"Oh ~"

Xu Lingyin knelt down on the stool with her little hand on the edge of the table. She reluctantly withdrew her eyes and looked out of the hall. She just saw the three return.

"Big brother!"

Xiaodouding gave a full cry, jumped down from the stool, put his hands on both sides of his waist, opened it backward, buried his head, and rushed forward.

Xu Pingzhi and Xu Xinnian stepped back at the same time.

Xiaodouding bumps into Xu Qian's arms.

What a great strength... He was surprised and looked at his sister, but he didn't see any change in a month. Well, if he had to say something, his face was more round.

Like a round red apple.

This shows that xiaodouding has strong Qi and blood.

Based on the collision just now, Xu Qi'an estimated that her strength now has nine grades of refining.

"It's too terrible. When I was her age, I still kept shaking in my horse step..." Xu Qi'an was shocked.

He touched Xu Lingyin's head and glanced at the three women in the hall.

Xu Lingyue has seen that Lina's skin is white. The biggest change is her aunt. Her features are beautiful and delicate, and her skin is watery and white. Just looking at this face, she doesn't look like a woman raising three children.

Chu Caiwei sent zhuyandan, right? The effect is very good. If I had been in the last life, I would have been rich, but I couldn't go back..... He thought regretfully.

Aunt and Ling Yue came up, the former swept on his nephew, confirmed that he didn't lack arms and legs, raised his chin slightly, and said with great reserve:

"back!"

She suddenly twitched her nose and frowned delicately: "green orange again, so heavy?"

Uncle Xu quickly took out the green orange in his hand and said with a smile:

"green orange can cure cough. I bought it for Lingyin. I ate one on the way, so it tastes good. "

As soon as Xu Lingyin heard it, her face collapsed.

Xu Er Shu stares at a way: "silly Leng is making very, quickly come to take."

Xu Lingyin frowned and held the bag of green oranges in her arms.

She looked at her father and the tangerine in her arms. Her short and thick fingers turned inside. There were only four. She felt that she could do it.

The two shallow eyebrows stretch out.

"Cough!"

Xu Erlang cleared his throat, took out the butter paper bag hidden behind him, handed it to Xu Lingyin and said:"Second brother is also afraid of you coughing..."

Xu Lingyin was stunned, and Xu Qian seemed to see a series of question marks on her head.

Xu Pingzhi and Xu Xinnian, who threw hot potatoes to their children, sat down at the table in a happy mood.

Xu Lingyin looks like she wants to cry.

Seeing this, Xu Qi'an was a little impatient, so he said:

"Ling Yin, I brought you a gift this time."

When Xiaodou dingdun, he showed a sunny smile, just like clouds and snow, forgetting all the unhappy things, and said in a delicate voice:

"where is the gift, where is the gift, big brother?"

Xu Qian immediately took out the green orange hidden behind him and put it in the arms of xiaodouding.

Xu Lingyin - harvest [green orange X3]

poor little child, the whole person was stunned, never thought that his father, big brother and second brother would treat him like this.

Xiaodouding suddenly cried out:

"I don't want to eat oranges, I don't want to eat oranges..."

anyway, Xu Erlang, who has thrown out the pot, said with a relaxed face:

"if you don't want to eat, just throw it away."

Throw... Xiaodouding a listen, "Ao" more sad.

She just can't bear to throw... Xu Erlang holds a chopstick of winter bamboo shoots.

No matter how bad it is, it will be eaten... Uncle Xu "Yiliu" drinks.

Er Shu and ER Lang are not human, bah..... Xu Qi'an took a chopstick dish to his aunt and said, "remember to let her brush her teeth well.

...

after three rounds of wine, Uncle Xu took a bite of pig's head meat and ate it carefully. Then he poured a glass of wine for his son and said in a deep voice:

"it's all said outside that it's you who give advice to your majesty and call for donations?"

In fact, the best way is to copy one's family, but emperor Yongxing has just ascended the throne, and his position is not firm. So we have to take a more moderate approach.

"Originally, he didn't agree to call for donations, because any move he made during his senior position would be magnified and over interpreted by the officials below.

"If you want to sit on the Dragon chair, you'd better not do anything, wait for the plump wings, and then do things boldly.

"It's a pity that the sky doesn't work out."

Xu Pingzhi shakes his head, stares at Erlang, and says:

"father doesn't understand these things. But Dad heard a word from his colleagues today. "

After a pause, he said in a deep voice:

"who asked me to pay, I would cut off his mother's..... Erlang, that man told his father.

"If you don't deal with this matter well, your future is ruined. Well, it's not bad to have Wang Shoufu as your backer, but you have to be a bench for many years."

Xu new year's face dignified: "I know."

Aunt and Xu Lingyue seldom go out at ordinary times. They have no channel to inquire about the news. They don't know what happened.

There are not many questions about officialdom. Mother and daughter look at each other, eat with frown and listen.

Xu Xinnian continued:

"isn't big brother back? With big brother in, Dad, what are you worried about?"

Aunt and Xu Lingyue stretched their brows and ate without any distractions.

Xu Qian asked:

"what's the situation of the court hall now?"

Xu Xinnian spoke for a moment and said slowly:

"Wang's party is the only one. Wei's party is now in charge of zuodou censor Liu Hong, who is in charge of the watchman's Yamen. Other parties are still the same.

"In order to stabilize the situation, Shoufu didn't eliminate dissidents on a large scale while Xinjun ascended the throne. Fortunately, he didn't do it, otherwise, the temple is in chaos and the people are in chaos.

"Moreover, although emperor Yongxing relies heavily on Shoufu, he is not a fool. If Shoufu eliminates his dissidents, Emperor Yongxing will not be able to sit still."

Xu Qi'an laughed and joked: "why don't you call your father-in-law?"

Xu Xinnian retorted: "because I am a serious person, not like big brother."

The brothers turn their heads and take a look at the green orange in front of Xu Lingyin. They tacitly terminate this topic.

Xu Qian then asked, "what is the reaction of the DPRK and China to this donation?"

"It's anger." Xu Xinnian sneered: "few agree, many wait and see. There are plenty of critics. "

Xu added: "Erlang is now a street mouse. Everyone has to scold him."

Xu Xinnian snorted coldly:

"if it's just scolding, it's OK. Some people still want to impeach me. Once the call for donations is unsuccessful, I, as a proponent, will have to settle the accounts in the autumn and bear the responsibility.

"It could be released."

My aunt responded greatly and immediately cried:

"I'd rather you quit your job than leave Beijing. Now the world is in chaos. I heard that there are refugees and bandits everywhere."This is the malpractice of the family. The court belongs to the royal family, and the money belongs to me. Today I am still in this position, and tomorrow I may be beheaded by the emperor, expecting me to spend all my property to fill the national treasury. I am infatuated with my dream..... Xu Qi'an suddenly sighs.

He pondered for a moment and said, "are there any details?"

Xu Xinnian nodded:

"naturally, officials of different grades have the lowest donation standard, which will be determined according to their salaries. In this way, it can prevent officials from blindly asking for money and enriching their own pockets in the process of implementation.

"In addition, I also propose that your majesty set up a monument of merit and virtue, which will be placed in the Imperial College and the schools of counties and counties for the students to look forward to.

"And then..."

he said a lot, and Xu Qi'an waved his hand:

"you say it straight, how can I do it?"

Xu said: "later, we will go to the study to talk."

At the end of the business, Xu Qi'an plans to eat the little black skin in southern Xinjiang, and asks, "Lina, how much do you know about the seven Jue Gu?"

Lina's gills are bulging and she swallows food with difficulty:

"Qijue Gu is left by Tiangu's mother-in-law's husband, who is Tiangu's old man. When the old man Tiangu left the Gu clan, the seven Jue Gu had not been finished yet. It was Tiangu's mother-in-law who did it for him. "

"And then?"

"Later, mother-in-law Tiangu gave me Qijue Gu and asked me to come to the capital to find someone who was destined for her."

I know all this..... Xu Qi'an thought about it and asked, "besides these, what else do you know?"

Lina began to eat again: "no more."

Xu Qi'an frowned: "seven Jue Gu can make people have seven kinds of Gu Shu at the same time. Don't you think it's strange? Did the Gu clan have such things before? "

Lina nodded seriously: "strange!"

Xu Qi'an said, "then why don't you explore?"

Lina looked at him and asked:

"why explore?

"There are many things I can't figure out. I have to explore everything. Isn't that too tired.

"Right, ring tone."

Xu Qi'an's mind is full of troughs, but he can't refute them.

Xiaodouding nodded: "yes, master!"

She took the opportunity to pull master into the water to help share the pressure: "master, help me eat oranges together."

Lina shook her head again and again: "you go to find elder sister Caiwei."

"Do you think the seven Jue Gu has anything to do with Gu Shen?" Xu Qi'an brings the topic back.

"All the poisonous insects in the world are related to the God of poisonous insects."

Lina showed a rare serious expression: "Gu Shen is sleeping in the abyss, and its power has changed Southern Xinjiang. The surrounding creatures absorb the power of Gu Shen, and there will be changes, so there is Gu Shen."

Xu Qi'an nodded: "I heard you said that this is the source of the seven magic tricks."

"Yes, different creatures absorb different forces and produce different changes. Occasionally, there are creatures and magicians with double magic skills, but the only one who integrates the seven magic skills is the God of magic. "

Said Lina.

Only Gu Shen... Xu Qi'an suddenly felt numb.

...

at the same dusk, the setting sun is like blood.

The luxurious carriage made of Phoebe was driven into the palace in the sound of the rattling wheels.

Lin'an, depressed, stepped down on a small bench, wrapped in a fox fur cloak, and led by the eunuch, entered the imperial study.

Emperor Yongxing, who is busy with his official business, has no good way:

"what is there in Si Tianjian that his highness Lin'an should cherish so much?"

Lin'an airway: "nothing good nostalgia, just don't want to go back to the palace, I sleep for a day."

Emperor Yongxing raised his head, put down the memorial and said:

"I'm waiting for your news."

"He said yes." Lin'an's concise reply.

"I knew that Lin'an would not refuse you." Emperor Yongxing laughed.

Lin'an didn't stay long, so I left.

Emperor Yongxing's eyes crossed the threshold and walked far along the steps. He took a deep breath and shook his fist excitedly.

Big case, a thick stack of impeachment Xu new year's fold.
