The identity of the direct son - Xu I's prosperous world

The news of Ji Heng's return to Beijing was not told to his friends in time, so, apart from the emperor's micro-service harassment at the beginning, no one knew that he was back, and naturally no one came to him, so he was able to rest at home for a few days .

Mrs. Xu also arranged to straighten out all the things at home, and her life returned to its usual order.

Zhao Zhili did not know where he got the news that Ji Heng was back, so he came to visit him personally.

Ji Heng was playing with Brother Ying in the room. Brother Ying was also a genius child. According to legend, Ji Heng left when he was three years old. He shouldn't have remembered Ji Heng. Unexpectedly, he not only remembered him, And know to be close to him.

Maybe this closeness is just that children like beautiful people, but he really likes to cling to Ji Heng's side.

Brother Ying is only six or seven years old, but he is very good at playing Huarong Dao, he is a bit too clever.

Outside, Lianzi reported to Litong from outside the curtain, "Master Zhao, Mr. Zhao came to see you, should he lead him to your room, or go outside to receive him."

Ji Heng looked at the door curtain, "Is it Zhao Jiyong, please come in."

Ji Heng originally sat on the couch with Ying'er in his arms without his shoes on. Now he put Ying'er in the couch and put on his shoes by himself. The cotton shoes had just been put on. Like the wind, people have already entered the door.

He saw Ji Heng standing by the couch at a glance, smiled, walked up and patted Ji Heng's shoulder a few times, "Hey, you've grown so tall after you've been away for three years."

Ji Heng's shoulders hurt from his patting, and he said with a smile, "Can I not grow up? But you, how have you been these past few years? I heard that you remarried again, and you are the daughter of the Liu family. You also added a pair of twins. My son Qianjin, I haven't congratulated you yet."

It seems that Zhao Zhili came directly from the yamen. He was still wearing official uniforms. He was tall and strong, with his unique aristocratic air and laziness in his eyebrows. He said, "When are you going to my place? Let those two little guys come to see you."

Ji Heng smiled and said, "I heard that they are all just over one year old, do they know how to meet me?"

Zhao Zhili himself had already sat down on the couch, looked at Brother Ying who was like white dough, and said, "This is your younger brother, he has grown so big."

When Brother Ying was born, Ji Heng was so depressed that the emperor and Zhao Zhili knew it. Zhao Zhili was also very touched seeing Ying'er grow up now.

Brother Ying was very polite. He was sitting cross-legged, but now he sat up on his knees, bowed to Zhao Zhili, and said politely, "Greetings to Shixiong, Shixiong."

Zhao Zhili saw that Brother Ying was as serious as Ji Heng, so he couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his hands to pinch his fleshy face, and said, "Hey, you look like this, you really deserve to be your brother's younger brother. "

Brother Ying didn't speak, and continued to play with the Huarongdao chess pieces on the small table.

Ji Heng asked a maid to bring tea in to entertain Zhao Zhili, while he sat down on the other side of the Arhat couch, and asked Zhao Zhili, "How have you been all these years?"

Two years ago, there were Tatars harassing the northern side. The eldest son of the Zhao family, Zhao Zhili, was shot by a poisoned arrow when he went deep into the enemy and failed to remove the poison in time, so he died. The boss of the Zhao family has always been brave. It is another big loss of support, and it is well known that the emperor and the empress dowager are at odds with each other. Many people are waiting for the Zhao family's building to collapse.

Zhao Zhili has been favored by the emperor in recent years, but he still feels aggrieved thinking about it.

On Zhao Zhili's face, there was no slump at all, he smiled brightly and lazily, like a lazy leopard, no matter how relaxed he was, his eyes were still fierce and alert, he said, "There's nothing wrong with it."

He smiled at Ji Heng again, and said, "I haven't congratulated you yet, but you took Jiangsu Jieyuan, which is really not easy."

Ji Heng said, "The article is part of it. I'm afraid the other part is the emperor's greeting. You understand."

Zhao Zhili laughed, and said, "Don't be born in the midst of blessings and be ignorant of your blessings. I can only be a military commander. Otherwise, I'm going to take the imperial examination. The emperor won't say hello for me."

Ji Heng said, "You inherit the state's position, what kind of imperial examination do you take?"

Zhao Zhili sighed and said, "I hope the emperor will take back this title."

Ji Heng understood Zhao Zhili's meaning, leaned forward and reached out to pat Zhao Zhili's shoulder to express his comfort.

Brother Ying sat there obediently and played with himself without disturbing the conversation between the two of them. After a while, Zhao Zhili stopped talking and just stared at Brother Ying with his arms on his face. Brother Ying saw that his brother did not chat with the guests. Then he brought chess from the cabinet again and asked Ji Heng to play chess with him.

Ji Heng said, "Let Brother Shi accompany you."

Brother Ying looked at Zhao Zhili, Zhao Zhili supported his head and teased him, "It's boring to play like this, it should be punished by winning or losing."

Brother Ying looked at him with dark eyes, "Father said you can't gamble."

Zhao Zhili glanced at Ji Heng before saying, "This is not gambling, let's do it this way, whoever loses will kiss the winner, how about it?"

Brother Ying's eyes widened, "How can you be so frivolous."

His words made Zhao Zhili laugh out loud, Ji Heng said, "Don't try to take advantage of my brother."

So Zhao Zhili said again, "That's good, whoever wins will give your brother a kiss."

Brother Ying took a look at the lazy and unruly Zhao Zhili, and then looked at Ji Heng. In Ji Heng's eyes that were about to smile, he actually nodded and said, "Well, Brother Shi, please."

Ji Heng looked at Zhao Zhili speechlessly, and said, "You are already a father, it's no wonder that your children are not taught badly by you."

Zhao Zhilizhen played chess with Brother Ying, and answered Ji Heng casually, "The two of them, if they fight, I will let both of them stand on the edge of the table with their books on their heads. Whoever let the book drop first, The opponent can slap him. Now the two basically don't fight."

Ji Heng was even more speechless, and he put his hands on his face to watch the two play chess. It was obvious that Zhao Zhili was throwing water, so Brother Ying won after a while. Brother Ying raised his head and looked at Ji Heng with burning eyes. Sighing inwardly, she brought her face closer, Brother Ying knelt up, kissed Ji Heng on the cheek, then sat back pretending to be calm, and said to Zhao Zhili, "Brother Shi, let's have another plate." .”

Zhao Zhili smiled secretly in his heart, blinked at Ji Heng, and Ji Heng stared back at him.

In the second set, Zhao Zhili still let go, deliberately losing to Brother Ying, so Ying looked at Ji Heng again, Ji Heng leaned his face to him again, Ying kissed again, and asked Zhao Zhili to play the third set .

Zhao Zhili laughed secretly in his heart, but he could only bear it and continued to the third set. In the third set, Zhao Zhili still released the water, but he released less, so he quickly killed Brother Ying without leaving any traces. Brother Ying Dumbfounded now, he stared blankly at Zhao Zhili, Zhao Zhili pretended to be surprised, and said, "Oh, I won this time."

Ji Heng knew that Zhao Zhili was just teasing Brother Ying, so he sat there unmoved, but Brother Ying was in a hurry, and suddenly jumped from the small table to Ji Heng's side, and hugged him He touched Ji Heng's face, and said to Zhao Zhili, "Brother Shi, you are already grown up, you can't kiss adults casually."

Ji Heng raised his eyes and looked at Brother Ying who was blushing with anxiety, he also thought it was cute and funny.

Zhao Zhili raised his hand and slapped Brother Ying's little butt, hitting Brother Ying so hard that he jumped up, and glared at him, Zhao Zhili said, "Since you don't allow me to kiss your brother, then you can kiss me all at once as a reward." Make it up."

Brother Ying pursed her mouth and looked at Ji Heng, while Ji Heng was expressionless, with only a pair of peach blossom eyes, but like the spring water in March in the south of the Yangtze River that was wrinkled by the wind, it was rippling with affectionate ripples. Reluctantly, he went over and kissed Zhao Zhili on the cheek, and then murmured, "It's better to be my brother if you have thorns on your face."

Then Zhao Zhili laughed so much that he wanted to lie down on the small table on the couch, and pinched Brother Ying's face again, "Little pervert."

Zhao Zhili felt that it was always easy to be here with Ji Heng, so when he left, he made an appointment with Ji Heng to invite him to have a gathering with his friends in a few days, so that he must appreciate it.

Ji Heng had almost rested at home, so he agreed.

Because many friends knew that they had returned to Beijing, so they started the banquet. Xu also packed up a lot of gifts and sent them to each family. Ji Heng also brought things from Beijing to his friends for the servants to deliver.

The gift to the emperor was sent to the palace by Ji Heng himself.

The pot of cherry tomatoes was brought back by the emperor last time when he returned to the palace, and he put it in the Palace of Qinzheng. Because of the cold weather, he often watered it by himself. The water was too much. Only a few days later, the pot Plants are dying.

When Ji Heng entered the palace, the emperor dragged him to look at the plant, and said very sadly, "I don't know why I am about to die. I asked the best gardener in the palace to look at it, but there is nothing I can do."

Ji Heng didn't think there was anything wrong, and comforted the emperor, "This is an annual plant. It is planted in spring and dies in autumn. This is the time for it to die. Next year, I will plant two more pots for you. Let him wither with the seasons."

The emperor was still a little sad, and said, "Then don't give this to me next year. If you want to give it, you can give it a pot of pine tree. Even after a hundred years, the pine tree will not die."

Ji Heng gave him a slightly surprised look, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you are still in the prime of life, why are you talking about a hundred years later. Besides, every plant has its own laws, just like people. Birth, old age, sickness and death does not mean that the longer life is better. The shorter the life, the more intense it is, isn't it. Look at how red this fruit is."

After thinking about it, the emperor felt the same, so he said, "Then you can continue to give me this, but it would be better to add a pot of green pine."

Ji Heng made a bitter face, looked at him and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know how to grow green pine, and it is not easy to grow potted plants." How could he have so much time to take care of potted plants.

Ji Heng had a bitter expression on his face, amused the emperor, and said, "All plants have their own rules just like humans, and the shorter their lives, the more intense they are. It's just an excuse. You just don't know how to grow potted plants?"

Hearing that the emperor was deliberately teasing him, Ji Heng said, "I'm not omnipotent, I can do everything."

The emperor put his arms around Ji Heng, and said, "Then I don't want green pine, but this holy maiden fruit."

The other gifts Ji Heng gave were just handicrafts from Jiangnan, and a very beautiful root carving with many children and many blessings. Although the female fruit was sour, it was eaten up by the emperor.

Two days later, Zhao Zhili asked someone to post a post for Ji Heng, inviting him to a party in Liuying Garden, which was regarded as a welcome for him.
