rebirth [rebirth]

As soon as Rong Jingxuan finished speaking, he heard the familiar sweet voice outside the big tent: "Since Xiao Zhong is here, the second brother must be in the tent, and if the second brother is here, Ming Ze will also be there, what a coincidence."

The person who spoke was Rong Jingxuan's second sister, Princess Rouran Rong Jingqiong.

She and Princess Jiayue share the same mother, but their personalities are very different.

Xie Mingze took a look at Rong Jingxuan, walked to the door in person, and said, "Zhong Qi, please come in, Second Princess."

Zhong Qi opened the curtain and bent down.

Princess Rouran walked in quickly.She resembled Princess Jiayue five to six times. She was delicate and cute, but she was half a head taller than Princess Jiayue. Wearing a light-colored dress, she looked very healthy.

As soon as she came in, she saw Xie Mingze, and couldn't help rushing over to hug him: "Mingze, long time no see."

Xie Mingze supported her slightly, and replied with a smile: "Second Princess, long time no see."

Seeing this, the young scholar who came in behind Princess Rouran couldn't help but sighed slightly, and opened his mouth to say something, but Rong Jingxuan walked up to them in two steps, and pulled Princess Rouran away directly.

He was not happy about pulling Princess Rouran away, so he stretched out his hand to hold Xie Mingze's hand, and squeezed hard to feel better.

I don't know why, seeing Princess Rouran holding Xie Mingze like this, he was really upset.

Rong Jingqiong's round eyes swept across their faces, and then looked at their holding hands.

"Oh..." She sighed meaningfully and teased her younger brother, "What? I can't touch your queen?"

The son-in-law Xu at the back was probably used to seeing her like this, so he only took two steps forward and tugged her: "Madam, don't talk nonsense."

Rong Jingxuan didn't listen to her nonsense at all, and turned to exchange greetings with Concubine Xu: "Brother-in-law is tired all the way, you can only be at peace when you come here."

Consort Xu smiled lightly.He has soft eyes, a handsome face, and is dressed in a green robe, full of bookishness.

He is indeed a master of scholars full of economics.

Even though he is only young this year, two years younger than Princess Rouran, but he is not an ordinary scholar.Xu Junyi was born in the Xifu Shuxiang family. His ancestors include Xu Jieyi, the most famous calligrapher of Dachu, Xu Maomu, a great Neo Confucianist, and Xu Qing, who compiled the "Dachu Calendar" during the Ming Dynasty.

At the age of 13, he was admitted as a Tongsheng, and at the age of 16, he won the first place in the palace examination, becoming the youngest champion of Da Chu.

Those who have read his articles are not unconvinced.

He has a gentle personality and never argues with others. When Rong Jingxuan asked about his future plans, he said that he wanted to study in the Imperial Academy.

This practice lasted for five years, and in the winter of the 36th year of Yongyan, Princess Rouran worshiped the Buddha for her father. In Huangjue Temple, she ran into Xu Junyi who came to practice Buddhism with her. The next day, Emperor Min ordered him to be her son-in-law.

Princess Rouran is lively by nature, and she can't understand everything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but her martial arts are excellent.Emperor Min didn't care about his children's education at all, but Empress Wen Jia asked her opinion seriously, and seeing that she really didn't like those things, she let her go.

Da Chu's princess, born with golden branches and jade leaves, even if she doesn't know a single character, she can still find a good consort, and her life will be safe and happy.

The marriage of their couple was jaw-dropping at first, but it didn't take long for everyone to find out that these two people had a good life.

The fearless princess Rouran only listens to the gentle and respectful son-in-law, but the son-in-law, who comes from a family of ethics and education, indulges the princess's deviant ways in every possible way.

Someone with good deeds asked him if he was afraid of being a princess.

But Prince Xu replied with a smile: "Madam is innocent and lively, she should live as she pleases. As a husband, I should pamper and pamper her."

The way he looked at Princess Rouran was like looking at a young girl, making her innocent and carefree.

After a few words of greeting here, Rong Jingxuan invited his sister and brother-in-law over to sit down.

Lang Ningyou stood up quickly, he and Concubine Xu were the same Scholars on the same list, so they naturally knew each other.

Xu Concubine seemed to take him for granted in the Yongwu camp, and greeted him when he saw him: "Brother Lang, long time no see."

Lang Ningyou almost broke out in sweat again.

If the people in this room were caught by Emperor Chen, maybe the whole world would be pardoned and celebrated.

"Your Majesties, Your Royal Highness, Lord Hou, Lord Consort, we have finished talking about the next business, so I will take my leave first." Friends Lang Ning hurriedly said.

Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze got up and sent him to the door of the tent in person: "Lang Aiqing, I am very touched that you are so loyal to me. He will never forget what happens every day. Be careful when you go, and send someone if you have something to do." Come report."

Friends Lang Ning's eyes turned red when he heard this, and he saluted them respectfully before leaving.

From the time when Rong Jingxuan followed him to the court in his teens to the year before last when he acted as a proxy for political affairs, what he said was always eloquent and never lied.

What he promised, it would be like Zhu Zhu's imperial decree, and he would definitely agree.

In the big tent, only their family is left at this moment,

Rong Jingxuan sat back on the chair, and said to Princess Rouran: "Second sister, brother-in-law, eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law went to Feng's ancestral grave, and will be back around dinner time, Yu Xiude, Hua Jingshu and Chen Qingyi are also there Come to Yongwu, we had dinner in the evening and discussed in detail together."

Princess Rouran asked: "What does eldest brother-in-law go to the ancestral grave?"

Rong Jingxuan's complexion darkened, and he said in a low voice, "Cong'er... contracted whooping cough and passed away a few days ago."

Princess Rouran's complexion turned pale.

She and Princess Jiayue are siblings, so they are naturally close, and they love this cute and well-behaved little nephew so much that they burst into tears when they heard it.

"Cong'er...Cong'er is only two years old." She cried and collapsed on the chair, very sad.

Concubine Xu took out the handkerchief from his sleeve, held her face and wiped her tears: "Okay, okay, Second Brother and Brother Ze feel even worse. Cong'er is a good boy, and he will be happy and worry-free in the next life."

Rong Jingxuan silently watched his sister cry bitterly, he gritted his teeth tightly, and did not follow the tears with a pale face.

Xie Mingze held his hand and comforted him silently.

At dinner time, the eldest princess and son-in-law who went to the ancestral grave to guard the first seven of their sons came back.

Both of them were dressed in plain onyx, although they didn't have the courtesy of elders to wear mourning to younger ones, but they loved their sons so much that they did so.

When seeing Princess Rouran and Concubine Xu, they were also wearing plain white, obviously they knew about Cong'er's funeral.

The two sisters naturally cried again, because Rong Jingheng, who had just recovered from a serious illness, did not know about his nephew's death, so when the family had dinner at night, they tried their best to look more energetic.

After eating, they returned to the big tent.

The two princes were already waiting there.

Rong Jingxuan has encountered too many things in the past few days, and those who haven't come will talk to them in detail.

When Yu Xiude, Hua Jingshu and Chen Qingyi saw the Rong's family, they all bent down to salute.

Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze hurriedly stepped forward to help them up, saying: "We are all close friends, there is no need to be polite, just sit down."

After several people sat down, Rong Jingxuan slowly glanced around for a week, pondered for a moment before slowly opening his mouth: "The Rong family has come to this day, and Da Chuyu has perished, and the right and wrong can no longer be counted. Now the two eldest sons and the wife can still see each other." Rongmou is very grateful for coming to join Rongmou."

He changed the subject and asked directly: "I don't know how the Hou Ye is safe at home, how many..."

The reason why Yu Xiude and Chen Qingyi are called sons is because their father is still alive. If they run away from Yong'an like this, they are not afraid of causing trouble for the whole family?This month, Rong Jingxuan and the others were busy arranging trivial matters in Yongwu, but they didn't have time to inquire about Yong'an.

When the troops start to be stationed, they must take the lead in reorganizing the Ning Yuan Guard, and ask Ning Yuan Twenty to personally find a few spies and send them to Yong'an.

They can't be blind, Emperor Chen must be full of spies all over the country, and they have to plan early.

Yu Xiude didn't speak, but Chen Qingyi stood up and bowed deeply to Rong Jingxuan: "Your Majesty... my father has passed away."

Rong Jingxuan asked in surprise: "What? Master Hou has always been physically strong, how could it be...?"

Chen Qingyi is the youngest of them, he is only 16 years old now, and he is usually the quietest.

Hearing Rong Jingxuan's question, Chen Qingyi couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said at this moment: "Emperor Chen... ordered his father to become an official, but his father refused the imperial edict by saying that one minister would not serve two masters."

"The next day, Emperor Chen issued an decree to cut down the nobility, ordering my Chen family to move out of the Marquis of Wuping's mansion, and not to bring out a centimeter of money."

Rong Jingxuan frowned: "Master Hou, you are really loyal."

Chen Qingyi lowered his eyes: "Your Majesty also knows that Yong'an was hit by a snowstorm, it was freezing cold, and my father had a cough, so he went there right away. If Brother Yu hadn't found me in the shanty town, maybe I wouldn't be here. "

Chen Qingyi's mother passed away very early, and the old Marquis didn't reincarnate, so he was taught to grow up well. Wuping Marquis Mansion has a small population and seems to be flourishing, but in fact there are only thirty or forty servants to serve them.

The Hou's mansion was gone, and the servants went their separate ways. He reluctantly pawned his clothes and rented a small room in the shanty town. After finally settling down, his father suddenly suffered from an old illness.

Severely ill and suffering from hunger and cold, he died within two days.

His father was seriously ill, and he couldn't live without people around him. Even if he wanted to work and earn money, he couldn't do anything.He was afraid that if his father closed his eyes when he was not around, it would be a real regret forever.

Rong Jingxuan sighed, and asked him: "Qingyi...follow me, there may be a lot of flowers in the future, or it may be an abyss."

As he spoke, he also looked at Yu Xiude and Hua Jingshu.

Yu Xiude was calm: "My father... my father has been appointed as the Minister of the Imperial Palace. Anyway, there are many younger brothers and sisters in the family. After discussing with my wife, I left a book and wandered out of the city."

Compared with Chen Qingyi's father, Marquis Wu Ping, Marquis An Guo obviously accepted Emperor Chen's edict and directly became a second-rank courtier.

Yu Xiude's statement must be because he couldn't accept his father's actions, so he left a book angrily and left.

But Rong Jingxuan didn't feel that An Guohou was weak and incompetent. In today's troubled times, he is the head of a family with many children. If he refuses, he will be the second Wu Pinghou.

He can't afford it, and Ning Yuan bears the burden of infamy, and it is better to be an idle servant of the imperial court than to lose his family.

This does not mean that Marquis Wu Ping's choice was wrong. In Rong Jingxuan's heart, his weight is heavier, and it makes him feel more guilty.

Rong Jingxuan finally asked: "Three, do you really decide to follow me and repeat Da Chu?"

Yu Xiude and Chen Qingyi nodded firmly.

Hua Jingshu, who hadn't spoken from the beginning to the end, suddenly said, "Your Majesty, from the moment we left Yong'an, we just wanted to go back with you."
