The reborn worthy minister is difficult to do

Xu Ci regained some consciousness in the severe pain. The source of the pain was his buttocks, which was a burning pain.

"Crack!" It was another shot, and the pain hit without any psychological preparation, Xu Ci screamed "ah".

The cry was clear and loud, which made him wake up a little bit from the daze.

Xu Ci endured the pain and looked around, which startled him.

This is clearly the back garden of the Xu Mansion where he played and grew up since he was a child. There is a sunken crescent-shaped rockery there, which is also his favorite hide-and-seek place.

Not far away was a man and a woman. The woman was kneeling in front of the man and begging the middle-aged man by the hem of his clothes, "Master, please spare Ziqing, he just passed out!"

But Xu Changzong just pulled the hem of his clothes fiercely, snorted coldly, and said angrily: "If you don't teach him a lesson, he really doesn't know how to be so stubborn! I don't know who followed him for being so stubborn! Lajiu Hantian, who actually took his own Brother pushed into the lake. You only know how to plead for your own precious son, but other people's sons are not sons? Zi Ya is still lying on the bed unconscious!"

Xu Ci, courtesy name Ziqing.When he was chosen by the emperor to accompany the prince to read, he was still called Xu Ziqing. Later, the emperor was happy and gave him the name "ci". The old man got used to it, so he kept calling him "Ziqing".

Xu Ci stared at the scene in front of him, a little dazed.

He vaguely recalled that in the winter 30 years ago, he and his elder brother Xu Ziya had a quarrel by the lake.After arguing and arguing, Xu Ziya suddenly stepped on his back and fell into the lake.

Xu Ziya's biological mother, Mrs. Lin, insisted that he pushed Xu Ziya down. Xu's father was so distraught that he ordered someone to beat him so hard that he almost lost his life in the huge back garden. It doesn't get better until spring.

Before he could think about what all this represented, his eyes went dark, and he was knocked out again.

When he woke up again, he was already lying face down on the bed.

Turning her face sideways, her mother's almond eyes swollen from crying were in front of her.

Those soft, red and swollen eyes touched the softness in Xu Ci's heart, and he couldn't help calling softly, "Mother."

Just now, Mrs. Wang just wiped away her tears silently. Now that her son yelled, she finally came back to her senses and said with a sob: "My poor son, you finally woke up. You have been asleep for three days and three nights." Said After all, grief came from the heart, wronged for his son, and began to cry.

With Wang crying aside, Xu Ci quietly looked at her young face, with a thousand turns in his heart.

He can be sure that everything in front of him is definitely not a dream, or was the flurry of cane punishment just now for nothing?The buttocks have not dared to move at all until now.

He was not reincarnated but returned to 30 years ago?

Although he was puzzled and shocked by such a strange and chaotic thing, he was slightly delighted in the shock.

Thinking about it, God still had a bit of foresight and a kind heart, and let him go back to the past, so that he still had a chance to redeem his mistakes.

Although his butt was throbbing, Xu Ci felt as relaxed and comfortable as a cloud in his heart.

Mrs. Wang was still sobbing, Xu Ci wanted to say something to keep her mother from being so sad, so she asked, "Then Xu Ziya is still awake?"

It really worked. As soon as the words came out, Wang bit her handkerchief and said miserably, "I don't know how delicate that child is. Seven days have passed, and there is no sign of waking up."

After hearing this, Xu Ci sneered in his heart, it's really a villain.

Although the lake was cold in winter, but that day was sunny and sunny, Xu Ziya's body was wrapped like a rice dumpling.Not long after he fell in, his mother came rushing with her servants and maidservants, and it took only a moment between falling into the water and being rescued.

How cold can he be?Obviously pretending to be dizzy.

He is also a person who has experienced royal battles in his previous life. He has personally witnessed the four princes killing their fathers and seizing the throne, and he has personally promoted some evil deeds.This kind of calculation, in his view now, is really a child's play.

It would hurt himself back then, but now it's not even enough to tickle his itch.

The battle for the inner house is still a word of "lord", it only depends on who can win the power of the master.Xu Ci's mother, Mrs. Wang, is the main wife of the Xu family. No matter how favored Mrs. Lin is, she is nothing more than a concubine. Now his mother still has the final say in the family.

Lin wanted to climb over her mother's head by stepping on herself and take over the power of the head of the house, so she played tricks on her own son.

When he was still young, Xu Ziya pretended to be unconscious on the bed for more than a month, but he was immediately fooled by this, thinking that he almost killed someone, so he hid in the house all winter and did not dare to go out to see anyone.

The mother was also killed because of this incident and lost the right to be the head of the house. Later, Lin was allowed to dominate the back house for more than ten years, and the mother who suppressed her finally became a disaster and died of injustice.

Although he is a son of a concubine, he lives the life of a son of a concubine.

After gaining power, although he killed, disabled, and suffered Xu's family, he didn't feel a little bit of comfort after getting revenge, but more regret and frustration that his mother could not be resurrected.

Now that he was reborn, he couldn't let these individuals hurt his mother again.

It was dark outside the window, fearing that it would affect Xu Ci's rest, there were no oil lamps in the room, only a few candles were lit.The shallow and dim yellow candlelight hit Wang's face one by one.

Xu Ci's eyes were sharp, and seeing Wang's dark circles hidden in the dark, he felt a little distressed, "Mother, I'm fine, you can go back and rest first."

How could Wang be willing, "You child, even if mother goes back to her room, she won't be able to sleep, so why not stay here and watch you."

"Mother," Xu Ci shook Lin's arm with the hand outside, and said coquettishly, "But you are here to stare at the baby, and the baby can't sleep, so go back quickly."

Really couldn't resist Xu Ci, so Wang had no choice but to give instructions several times, and then went back with Madam Li who was waiting in the outer room.When walking, I turned my head three times at a step, and I was quite worried.

Nanny Li watched Wang grow up since she was a child, so she naturally understands Wang's thoughts. Before she left, she gave Nian Bai and Nian Xiao, the two servants who took care of Xu Ci, a lesson, and almost scolded them. The pit buried itself.

The two of them repeatedly promised that they would take good care of the second master, so Nanny Li quickly caught up with Wang who had gone far away, and went back to the bedroom.

Nian Bai and Nian Xiaogong sent the two of them away, and when they were about to enter the back room to serve, they heard the second master shouting from inside, "You guys wait in the anteroom, I will call you if you have something to do, so you don't need to come in." The two looked at each other, and returned respectfully Say "yes" and back out.

Occasionally, a cold wind blows in through the window cracks outside the house, and the candles flicker.

Xu Ci lay on the bed, full of thoughts.

He hid at home for a whole winter, but he was accompanied by the prince and had to go to the palace every day. How dare his father beat him like this?What happened at this time of the year?

After calming down, Xu Ci tried his best to smooth out the dusty memory, and the fragments of the past flew out from the depths like fluttering butterflies.

When he was ten years old, it was the 20th year of Taikang of the Dayao Dynasty.

The first emperor was in his prime, the crown prince was only 14 years old, and the fourth prince was in a neighboring country acting as a hostage under the fence.

Xu Changzong is not yet the Minister of Rites of the second rank, but the minister of the Ministry of Rites of the fourth rank.

Lin has not yet taken charge of the back house, and his mother is still in charge.

Xu Ci's originally relaxed and comfortable heart sank a little bit as the memories became more and more complete.

It stands to reason that he is the prince's companion, even if Xu Changzong is furious, he will not be beaten until he cannot get out of bed and delay the companionship.Coincidentally, the prince broke his leg while riding a horse a few days ago, and he is recuperating in the East Palace.

The reason why Li Haochen fell was because of him. In the racecourse, Xu Ci insisted on riding a strong horse, but Li Haochen fell off the horse to protect him.

Thinking of this, Xu Ci couldn't help thinking that before he died, Li Haochen also injured his arm when he fell off the horse because he had to be distracted to protect himself.

Xu Ci was depressed, it seemed that he was a bastard to the prince.

No wonder Xu Changzong angrily beat him to pieces, presumably the emperor took his anger out on him.

It's been almost ten days since Li Haochen was injured by the fall, and he didn't even visit him. I don't know how disappointed he should be with himself.

Xu Ci made up his mind that he would ask his father to take him into the palace to visit the prince tomorrow morning!

Xu Ci thought about things for a long time, but he didn't notice that the candles on the candlesticks were burning out one after another, and the candle light gradually dimmed. The room gradually became pitch black, and Xu Ci fell asleep in the darkness.

Before dawn on the second day, Xu Ci called Nian Bai and Nian Xiao to help him dress and wash.

I try not to touch my buttocks when I put on clothes, but in winter, the clothes are all heavy and I have to wear several pieces.

The inner garment, the middle garment, and the outer garment are all added up front and back, making a lot of fuss and wailing.

After Nian Bai put on a fiery red fox fur collar cape for Xu Ci, his pale, bulging face turned red.

Finally dressed, Xu Ci shook his cloak with his small hands, raised his head and chest and said, "Nianbai, Nianxiao, let's go!"

The one on the shelf is called a big one, Nian Bai Nian Xiao applauded in his heart, the second master is so imposing!

At this time, Lin was putting on court clothes for Xu Changzong. Yesterday she blew wind in Xu Changzong's ears for a long time on the bed. Xu Changzong was planning to resign from the emperor this morning after the court ceremony, so that he would stay at home and think about the winter.

Before Mrs. Lin could fasten the cloak for him, she saw the close servant girl running in in a panic, and stood aside with her head bowed, "Master, aunt, grandma, Second Master is standing outside."

Xu Changzong pulled the strap of the cloak in Lin's hand, fastened it quickly, "This devil king is not lying on the bed, what is he doing here in the morning? How long has he been standing?"

"Go back to Master, it's been half an hour."

"Oh?" He picked up the black gauze official hat on the hat stand and asked Mrs. Lin to put it on for himself, "Then I'd like to see which song this kid sings in the morning." After that, she ignored Mrs. Lin and went out went.

Lin was left alone, gritted his teeth, glared at Shui Ling, flicked his sleeves resentfully and went back to the room to catch up on sleep.

When Xu Changzong came out of Lin's courtyard, he saw Xu Ci standing on the side of the courtyard gate at a glance. He was very surprised to see that there were five people and six people dressed in his clothes today.

Seeing Xu Changzong coming out, Xu Ci bowed unhurriedly, "Greetings to father."

Xu Changzong didn't like him. Xu Ci had been a demon king since he was a child, and he was rarely so well-behaved.He waved his hand casually, "Excuse me, why are you here today?"

Xu Ci smiled slightly, with a respectful expression on his face, "Father, please take me into the palace, I want to visit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Xu Changzong frowned slightly after hearing Xu Ci's words.

He couldn't directly refute Xu Ci's request, after all, he had been the prince's companion for four years.The crown prince is injured, it's human nature to visit him, and it seems unreasonable for him not to allow it.

It's just that last night, in order to calm Lin's anger, he had agreed to Lin, and spent the winter thinking about Xu Ci behind closed doors.

At this moment, take Xu Ci to go, has the matter of asking the emperor for a leave of absence come to court soon?

Xu Changzong has always been the most proficient at saving the country, and if he couldn't speak out, he just found a reason to refute it.

Coughing twice, Xu Changzong looked embarrassed; "Ziqing, I am very touched that you have such a heart for my father. It's just that the crown prince has golden branches and jade leaves. We left early, and it is too late to prepare gifts. There is no reason to visit the patient empty-handed." .”

"Father was worried about this, so you can rest assured," Xu Ci turned his head and glanced at Nianbai, Nianbai understood, smiled and took out a slender and exquisite box polished by sycamore wood from his arms, and presented it to Xu Ci with both hands.

Xu Ci slowly opened the box, and a grown-up white ginseng lay quietly inside.

Isn't it just a gift?His grandfather, Wang Yuanwai, was a well-known good merchant in the capital, and the richest man in Dayao.

Wang Yuanwai's family has nothing but money!

Wang Shi is Wang Yuanwai's most beloved daughter-in-law, and Xu Ci is Wang Yuanwai's most beloved grandson.

This ginseng was given to his mother by his grandfather, and his mother gave it to him.

I don't know how long it has been treasured in his room, but this time it finally has a use.
