Poor monks do not break the precepts

The people in the house saw that the people who came were not honest, they were still fighting endlessly, and the dishes on the dinner table were mostly in a mess. Fortunately, Mama Wu was smart, and she had already predicted the situation before entering the house.

Ji Sushan came out after washing his face, and there was a small table beside him, and the hot food was served, steaming.

After a busy day, Ji Sushan and Ji Duorui were already starving, so they saturate their hunger without saying anything. Occasionally, chopsticks flew from the back of their heads, and they knocked back in an instant, but they didn't reprimand them.Such scenes are commonplace, and unless Ji Nian is present first, these monkey grandchildren can't be restrained at all.But it was Xu Sheng who aroused their curiosity. Although his identity was exposed and they were often suspected by them, they didn't panic at all. Served with bowls and chopsticks, choose your favorite vegetarian food contentedly.

"I really don't know whether you are bold or reckless." Ji Duorui looked up and down, and continued: "I think you have both."

When he was [-]% full, Xu Sheng put down the bowls and chopsticks in a self-disciplined manner, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief handed by his maid, and said with a smile: "Master Ji has changed his ways to ridicule me."

Ji Duorui hurriedly put down his chopsticks, waved his hands again and again, and explained: "I really admire you, what does Second Brother think?"

Ji Sushan wiped his hands, nodded in agreement and said, "I've been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and it's really the first time I've seen you like this."

"Loyalty is hard to tell, no wonder the eldest sister wants to guard against you." Ji Duorui looked sideways at Huai Mingmo, who had been paying attention to this all the time, his eyes were cold and his smile was as warm as a spring day, "Let's say now, I'm afraid you didn't Treat him with sincerity."

Xu Sheng gathered himself together, and smiled lightly, "I always remember that he treats me well. Although I am not a person who values ​​affection, I will not be unjust, so I have no intention of harming him."

Ji Sushan looked at Xu Sheng, without saying a word for a long time, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

This sounds depressing. As the saying goes, you don’t hit a smiling person with your hand. The person who speaks is just a smiling tiger. Even if he feels aggrieved for his nephew, Ji Duorui can’t curse out a few words to try to make himself happy, embarrassing Huai Mingmo face.

There was a fire at one end, and there was a lot of noise at the other end. Ji Duorui patted the pear blossom wooden table again, and muttered: "Have you two forgotten what the elder brother said? It's impossible to mess around all day at this age." system."

The two chopsticks clashed, their arms stretched out and froze in the air, Ji Boru and Ji Deen stopped their hands at the same time, their necks turned to Ji Duorui stiffly, the two looked at each other again, Ji Boru dropped the wooden chopsticks, and looked at An Jingyue pitifully, "A man's heart... the needle in the sea is not easy to understand." The tone of her voice was very awkward, and her voice rose in an instant: "When I came in, I was as happy as anything, and I changed as soon as I said."

Ji Deen clapped his hands together, and then said: "San Shugang's smiling face must be something good, let's hear it."

He has always been a master at diverting topics, since he is on point, Ji Duorui

"The truth about the prince has been found out. It was deliberately framed by someone with a heart. The prince was lifted the day before yesterday. God has eyes and didn't let the traitor succeed." Ji Duorui glanced at Xu Sheng from time to time while he was speaking, seeing that he had a normal expression, Ji Sushan looked at each other, and said again: "It's a pity that the mastermind of the frame-up has not been found out, otherwise the emperor will definitely not spare him lightly."

Bai Zhaorong smiled and said: "After the rain, the sky is clear, and the empress is relieved. In fact, it is the prince who has a great responsibility from heaven, so there are more hardships. Now that the clouds are clear, the road ahead will be smooth."

Xu Sheng lowered his head slightly, the smile on the corner of his mouth was like looking at flowers through mist.Ji Deqin caught Xu Sheng's subtle expression with sharp eyes, doubts arose in his heart, and he deliberately sighed and said: "It's that kid Ji Deqin who did such a thing, and disturbed the peace of Ji's family."

Huai Mingmo walked up to Xu Sheng's side, with his hands in his sleeves, while others were not paying attention, he quietly pinched his palms to express his reproach, "Brother Deqin was bewitched for a while..."

"If he didn't have such a heart, how could he be swayed by those three or two sentences, what would you do?" Xu Sheng interjected to raise an argument, also deliberately responding to Ji Deqin's past sarcastic remarks.

People who are still angry, when someone is agitated, like Ji Duorui, firecrackers that are like sparks, they explode when they are lit. They paced back and forth in the room for a long time, but An Jingyue stopped her and scolded: "You're talking about it." Li, look at that kid's unrepentant behavior so far, it makes people angry. The second sister gave him many chances, what's the use, no wonder the elder brother is so angry that he wants to kill him once and for all." The more he talked, the more angry he was. She gasped for breath, "Once in a generation, the gracious ancestor has lost many grandchildren. This unworthy descendant, mother actually forgave him and wanted to send him to a Buddhist temple to meditate? We used to do something wrong, and it was the family law."

The weather was still cool in the spring night, but Ji Duorui was dripping with sweat as he spoke, he grabbed Ji Sushan's folding fan unceremoniously, and kept fanning the wind to drive away the heat.

"It turned out to be a big detour. It turned out that I was complaining that my mother treated you too harshly." Ji Sushan took back the folding fan and slapped his younger brother on the cheek, "I didn't block some of the mistakes you made at that time. , you have the nerve to complain."

Blocking the fan from Ji Sushan with his arm, Ji Duorui turned sideways in two steps, "Anyway, I really don't know what mother thinks."

After the maid came in to tidy up and brought new tea, Ji Boru sat down and said, "Third Uncle really wants his life?"

Bai Zhaorong said with a smile: "Uncle is really angry. If he really wants to punish Deloitte severely, why would he go to Mr. Ji and speak nice words to him in secret."

"I just want to protect the face of the Hermitage Villa, not him." Ji Duorui said stubbornly.

Xu Sheng put down the wiping bracelet, and said leisurely: "People crossing the Buddha, Buddha crossing people, if his heart is hard to calm down, even if he dies of old age in the temple, it will be difficult to wake up." , Moved out the feet that were padded on the virtual soles.

Ji Deen clasped his hands together and waved in all directions, chattering endlessly, looking extremely perfunctory.Seeing his ungodly appearance, Ji Boru really felt ashamed, glanced at the Taoist man who was watching the play silently with a smile, hurriedly pulled Ji Deen's hand, and said in a low voice: "Shame on you, what are you doing?"

Ji Deen showed bitterness on his face, and deliberately pretended to be crying without tears, with an expression of beating, and vomited bitterly: "I hope my elder brother can see through this, and don't implicate me for no reason."

Ji Boru jumped up and said angrily: "What a heartless thing, just remember that I was wronged. In the past, the two of us accompanied you and were punished and forgot. How often have we been framed by you?"

Ji Deen rubbed his forehead, his expression was distorted by the pain, and the words of defense came after him, "My little mistakes are just two boards for everyone, why do you hold grudges like this?! Ji Boru! Let me tell you, you can't be so rude , and marry Brother Song in the future, if this is still the case, I am really worried for Brother Song."

"You little bastard, stop!" Ji Boru stomped his feet in embarrassment, coy for a moment like a little daughter-in-law, gnashed his teeth and chased after Ji Deen, ran all over the room, caught up with the beams of the room, and jumped over the tables and chairs in a blink of an eye, the two of them were light and fast Ruyan chased and fought for a long time, but the furnishings in the house never moved a bit.

Since the incident happened, the hearts of everyone in the Hidden World Villa seemed to be covered by rain clouds, and the bright sun had also turned gray. child upset.Although the Ji family doesn't like to fight and scold, they don't blindly tolerate their servants breaking the rules. Especially since Bai Zhaorong entered the manor, he has always acted decisively and neatly. Now the master is looking at the old slave in his eyes.Today was a rare and noisy day, and the servant girl waiting outside the main house was still expressionless, but he was sullen from the bottom of his heart.

Since someone started to talk about Ji Boru's marriage, and the person who usually looks like a heroine suddenly turned into a shy big girl, everyone would not let it go easily, and made fun of Ji Boru by talking here and there.Everyone was talking in high spirits, when there were urgent footsteps outside the house, the door was pushed open immediately, Zheng Fengnian walked in with a frowning brow, and the gasping breath in his throat seemed to be accompanied by a helpless sigh.

Bai Zhaorong glanced at her for a while, then immediately sent the maid who was standing quietly in the corner out of the room, then pulled An Jingyue and smiled, "I just made a fuss for a while, I think they will be hungry later, third younger sister will accompany me to the small kitchen, give me Let's make some snacks to fill their stomachs."

An Jingyue has a demure temperament, and she also has a delicate heart. She immediately nodded with a smile and agreed, and walked out with Bai Zhaorong on her arm. Before stepping out of the threshold, she looked back at Ji Duorui worriedly. Seeing him smile and wink at her, she was relieved. follow out of the house.

The atmosphere of Shicai disappeared, and the smile on the corners of his lips was very stiff. Huai Mingmo broke the silence and said, "Speak, what's the matter?"

Zheng Fengnian sighed and beat his legs and said: "Just now Jia Banxian came to report, the emperor reprimanded the crown prince in the front and rear palace yesterday morning, turned around and summoned the imperial concubine to question, it seemed that he was furious."

Ji Sushan held the handle of the fan tightly, and asked in confusion: "The prince has been acting cautiously since the lifting of the ban, how could he anger the emperor?"

Ji Duorui didn't wait for Zheng Fengnian to speak, and interrupted irritably: "Have you found out what happened in the palace?"

"Someone has been sent to investigate, and news should come out within a day or two."

Noticing the eyes that seemed to be floating around him, Xu Sheng lowered his eyes and chuckled, with a little disdain and sarcasm, looking at Huai Ming's face, and slowly said: "Someone copied several XingXiu sword manuals, Send it to the princes of Western Shu, Nanqi, Heqin clan, and other countries in the Western Regions." Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Xu Sheng didn't look at anyone. They were seized, and a large number of officials who advocated good relations were bribed to step down. Emperor Meng's decades of hard work, because of the lack of care of Ji's family, led to the ruin of the dynasty, how can Long Yan not be angry?"

Ji Sushan's face was serious, and he asked again as if struggling: "The news is reliable?"

Eyes dozed and then opened again, Xu Sheng said leisurely: "The letter I received this morning was sent by the person on the tip of Emperor Meng's heart. When Emperor Meng received the news, it happened to be before the morning court, and he was wearing clothes in her palace. Court clothes, and did not avoid her the whole time, what do you think?"

Knowing Wanxin's background from Xusheng, he wrote a letter that day and ordered someone to send it to the palace urgently. Wanxin wept with joy when she found out that she still has relatives alive, and Xusheng who often takes care of her.Fortunately, Xu Sheng told her repeatedly in his heart to be patient and not to stretch anything, she was also obedient, so she didn't reveal a word to anyone except her confidant girl, and she wrote back saying that although she didn't know what Xu Sheng wanted, But he will do his best to help, and every two days he will send letters to the palace about the things he can inquire about in the previous court, and then Mr. Gong will delete and select useful flying books to give to Xu Sheng.

Huai Mingmo was aware of Xu Sheng's situation, without any doubt, grabbed Xu Sheng's arm and asked anxiously: "How is the situation now?"

"It's okay. Emperor Meng just scolded the crown prince for an excuse, but as for concubine Ji, I don't know what he said." Xu Sheng grabbed Huai Mingmo's hand with his backhand, and found that he was clearly Trembling slightly, self-blame quickly climbed up his face like a vine, he held the hand firmly, but said truthfully: "Wanxin only said in the letter that the imperial concubine seems to have been imprisoned in Ningfu Palace. It seems that they can still go in and out normally, but the people around them have changed a lot, and they are all the emperor's people."

The teacup flew down in the middle of the room, and pieces of celadon were scattered and splashed in all directions. In the unusually quiet environment, the sound of the pieces falling and rubbing against the ground was particularly ear-piercing.

Ji Sushan pinched the armrest of the armchair tightly with his right hand, and he could hear the clear sound of wood cracking. His eyes twitched slightly, and he said every word with patience: "This dog emperor is really ungrateful."

Ji Duorui was always open-mouthed, and he was taken aback by these words. He quickly covered his second brother's mouth with his hand, and said in a low voice, "You can't say that."

"What can't you say?" Ji Deen was also indignant and fanned the flames.

"Father and the two uncles of the Ji family... lost their lives one after another for his world. The elder sister-in-law took care of the current empress dowager in the rear, and died of a serious illness with no cure. The eldest sister married him for more than 20 years, and the former queen was benevolent. It is difficult to take on the big responsibility, it is the elder sister who is gentle and virtuous to take care of the harem for him, which makes the harem so messy." The more Ji Sushan said, the more he felt unfair, his expression was sad, and he shook his head repeatedly and laughed, "Zhang Yuheng is the disciple of the father of the father. Afterwards, he became an official in the court and worked hard for many years, but he... said he was exiled, so he was exiled. He is really a cunning rabbit, a lackey, and being loyal to him is really not worth it."

After hearing the news, Mr. Ji drove a few servants by the door to the courtyard gate to guard, and stopped outside the door for a long time. After listening to the long conversation in the room, his brows were deeply furrowed, and the cold air came out of his eyes, like late autumn Desolate and cold.

After a long while, she pushed the door open and entered, carefully closed the door tightly, and said with a smile, "The walls have ears, and misfortune comes from the mouth."

Huai Mingmo had calmed down a lot now, and said peacefully, "Mother, where is the prince..."

After entering the room, Mr. Ji didn't look at anyone else, his eyes were fixed on Xu Sheng with an indifferent face, he was sitting on the side with a calm mind, as if in a daze, but when he came in, the corners of his mouth had a distinct curvature.Feeling the staring gaze, Xu Sheng raised his eyes slowly, and smiled faintly at Mr. Ji, but the other party didn't speak, and she didn't speak either, just like this, they couldn't stand each other.

"What do you think about this?" After all, it is a family matter, and Mr. Ji couldn't bear it first.

Looking around with scorching eyes, it is difficult for Xu Sheng to pretend to be ignorant, so he didn't pretend, he lowered his eyes and smiled softly, exuding a self-confidence that knows everything well and is unquestionable, but he is used to pretending, Although so conceited, it is not annoying.I have a general understanding of the temper of Xu Sheng, so seeing him so slow, Mr. Ji did not urge him, but looked at Ji Duorui to suppress his impatience, looked at Ji Sushan and shook his head and laughed.

After a while of silence, Xu Sheng said slowly: "It's just a reprimand, it won't shake the crown prince's position, but it's in danger."

It was rare for Ji Duorui to calm down, and said solemnly: "Will Emperor Meng let it go so easily?" The others nodded in agreement, still not believing it.

"If you don't let it go, you have to let it go. Emperor Meng knows very well what will happen if this happens." Xu Sheng fixedly looked at Mr. Ji and the others, the dim candlelight was flickering, his eyes were as sharp as eagle eyes in the dimness, and pondered After a long time, he said slowly: "When the prince is dismissed at this time, the Ji family will definitely try their best to find out the mastermind behind the theft of the Xingxiu sword manual. Lianxin Huiji is just a cover, and those who actually benefit can be counted on their fingers." Come out. Once the Ji family finds out, will they swallow that breath, and then the world will know, where is the face of the royal family? So no, and I dare not use this as an excuse."

Ji Deen refused to accept it: "Could it be that the Ji family will swallow their anger by using the name of treason? He doesn't care about the royal face?"

Huai Mingmo slammed his fist on the rosewood table case, with an angry expression on his face, and said in an understatement tone: "You know, it wasn't Xu Sheng who sent the evidence collected by King Dingxi to Beijing this time, the prince has no chance to reverse the case, not only the prince, The Ji family will also be unlucky. Xinli has seen all the evidence of the crime, and it is really conclusive."

Ji Boru stood up in disbelief, "How could it be? It's just some forged letters, what kind of evidence is it?"

Speaking of this, even Mr. Ji couldn't sit still, and put down the tea bowl with a "bang", "The letters are all written by the prince's cronies, and they are stamped with the prince's seal. The people around the prince have been there since the beginning." Deliberately arranged by his side."

Huai Mingmo snorted and snorted coldly, "This man is really thoughtful, he set up his net early, and waited for the opportunity to catch Ji's family in one go."

"When the Ji family is here, Emperor Meng dare not touch the prince at will, and vice versa." Xu Sheng picked up the scissors and cut off the wick, and the surroundings suddenly became brighter. He smiled warmly but without warmth. Can escape the taboo of the emperor, the result is not like this, Emperor Meng is still afraid of the influence of the Ji family in the martial arts. He is terrified, for fear that one day the Ji family will suddenly touch his dragon bed, let him be decapitated, and support the crown prince , turn the world of the Meng family into that of the Ji family."

Ji Sushan said firmly: "Ji's family won't, if they had thought this way at the beginning, how could it be Meng's family who rule the world."

Xu Sheng leisurely added half a cup of tea to himself, took a small sip to moisten his throat for a long time, caught a glimpse of the anxious faces from the corner of his eye, and slowly put down the tea bowl, "I believe that the Ji family has no such ambitions, but does Emperor Meng believe it? Don't be suspicious, he may have clear eyes in the past, but now he is old, the old emperor, no matter how wise and powerful he was when he was young, or how stupid he was when he was old. He still wants to sit on the throne for a few more years, but now he looks at his appointed prince , Gradually, the hearts of the people, most of the relatives are peerless masters, who can kill themselves at any time, will he not be afraid, as long as they are afraid, how can they believe it. In every dynasty and every generation, the prince is forced to ascend the throne in advance, is it not too rare?"

Taking a look at Mr. Ji's calm appearance, Xu Sheng said with a faint smile: "Actually, I know it well, but I just don't want to admit it. The king supported by the whole family will be so... disappointing."

For a moment everything was silent, Xu Sheng's words hit all the sore spots, two of them wanted to refute, but they couldn't say anything. As he said, apart from being disappointed with Emperor Meng, there is nothing left.

Mr. Ji was tired of speaking. He was lying on the low couch and soft pillow, his eyes were still focused, "The king is ruthless. Since you know the ending, why are you still involved in the whirlpool? Aren't you afraid of going the old way of Ji's family?"

Xu Sheng flicked his wrinkled cuffs, and said with a smile: "I don't want glory, I don't want to be rich. There are other purposes in taking this road. Anyone can be an emperor, as long as I can retire."

Mr. Ji knows everything that happened in the Hermitage Villa, so naturally he will not miss the Wanting Hall.She ordered Mama Wu to let the servant girl change the tea, wait for everyone to retreat and close the doors and windows, Fang said: "You want to avenge the murder of your mother?"

"I really can't hide everything from Mr. Ji, but this time, not only for others, but also for myself. She has lied to me for many years, and I can't swallow this breath." Xu Sheng raised his eyes to look directly at her, expressionless but let People feel cold, "Don't expect me to cooperate with Ji's family, I'm not interested."

Ji Sushan stroked his beard in front of him, and after hearing that his beard was blown up, he repeatedly ruined his usual image, "You are so bright and you don't give Ji family face, is it so difficult to say something nice?"

Covering his face with his hands, Mr. Ji laughed out loud, pointed at Xu Sheng several times, stopped laughing and said: "You speak so bluntly, don't you worry that I will get angry? The old lady hasn't let go of what she asked. , what should I do if I get angry and obstruct me again?"

Xu Sheng turned his head slightly to look at Huai Mingmo who was sitting beside him, his gaze gradually softened like a breeze blowing willows, "I believe he won't be annoyed."

He was talking about the business, but suddenly he turned to talk about himself, Huai Mingmo was thinking of a good excuse for Xu Sheng, after a long time he came back to his senses, he became angrily and said: "Who said you would trust you? I am the first to doubt your purpose."

The serious atmosphere was suddenly broken, seeing Mo Runyu, who was used to Huaiming, suddenly lose his temper, everyone burst into laughter, laughing so hard that they turned their backs on their backs, forgetting their troubles for a while.People in the Jianghu have a straightforward temper. Since what happened, it is useless to be more entangled. If you have said that you have been angry, even if the soldiers come to cover up the water and cover up, there will always be a way to solve it.

Mr. Ji settled down, waved his hands and said with a smile: "Forget it, as long as you don't have bad intentions to harm him or Ji's family, when the child grows up, I can't care about him."
