The day is bright, the crabapple bricks set off the crabapple flowers, there are a few chirps on the tree, and the branches tremble when someone walks by, shaking off a few petals.

Ning Ruichen glanced roughly outside the house. His eldest brother was sitting outside, holding a small porcelain pot in his hand, approaching a birdcage he didn't know where he got it, pouted his mouth, and teased the bird.

It was said to be sitting idle, but it didn't really look like it, because inadvertently, the elder brother would always sneak up on him and spy on him.

Ning Ruichen hid in the study for no reason, and when he looked outside, his elder brother disappeared again.Ever since he got caught in the rain in Zhongshan last time, Ning Yuquan was a little strange. When he saw him, he seemed hesitant to speak. He asked, but refused to say anything.

"Bao'er." Ning Ruichen yelled suddenly, and Bao'er sauntered in, sweating, not knowing where he was busy.

"Master!" After Yuan Junyu left, he regained the arrogance of some chief servants, and his small voice was bright.

Listening to the birds chirping outside, Ning Ruichen said slowly, "Change clothes, I'm going out."

Before Bao'er could get ready, the outside door rang, followed by a black shadow flashing in, a bird cage was hurriedly placed on the table, and the birds inside panicked, chirping and flapping their wings indiscriminately.

"What are you going out for?" Ning Yuquan frowned, and the tea in the small porcelain pot splashed a lot on his sleeves.

Ning Ruichen was sitting on a pearwood chair, fiddled with the sandalwood bracelet on his wrist, his phoenix eyes raised slightly: "Go find someone."

This hit hit the nail on the head, Ning Yuquan put his hands on his hips, and made a face: "Who are you looking for?" After a while, he rushed to say: "Don't look for him."

"I'm going to go to the master of Lanquan Temple to listen to scriptures." Ning Ruichen rolled his eyes, "Who do you think I'm looking for?"

Ning Yuquan almost didn't ask himself, and covered it up: "There are people coming from Beijing these two days, and those eunuchs believe in Buddhism the most, so don't provoke them."

The last time Cui Xiang came, Nanjing already complained a lot. After hearing this, Ning Ruichen was a little dissatisfied.

"Jingli is coming again as an envoy? Why?"

At first Ning Yuquan was not very willing to talk about it, but in the end he couldn't get his younger brother to pester him, so he explained hastily: "It's about... the child from the Zhongyi Bo's Mansion was found many years ago, and the imperial court sent someone to recognize the son. Yes, it will be sealed in Nanjing."

Uncle Loyalty, these three words are very unfamiliar to Ning Ruichen. After all, it happened 20 years ago. At that time, the Ning family hadn't even come to Nanjing yet.

"20 years," Ning Ruichen murmured, "It's been so long, and I can still find it."

"Who said it wasn't?" Seeing that he was interested, the eldest brother simply sat down, so that his precious brother would stop thinking about going out. "It was Chang Xi who found it. I took it out for a while a few days ago. That's really true." Little... the spring breeze is proud."

Ning Yuquan knew in his heart that Chang Xi's search for the son this time was by no means a mistake, but was well prepared.Otherwise, why would the eunuch offer a magic weapon immediately when his father happened to impeach Chang Xi?He sighed heavily, wondering why his father and Chang Xi fought so fiercely.

Ning Ruichen asked again: "He has such great supernatural powers, how did he find them?"

Ning Yuquan thought for a while, and then said, what about Qilin Wadang, what was the founding of the country and the feudal lord, he said it miraculously, and then he talked about ghosts and ghosts, fox demons and celestial masters, talking about a mess of ancient and modern, and Ning Ruichen He gasped for breath, and asked, "What does that tile look like, have you seen it before, let me see if you draw it?"

The miraculous stories just said are as real as they are, but Ning Yuquan doesn't know the true appearance of the thing, he hesitates and evades: "I can't remember, there are only unicorns on the left and right, and those on the New Year pictures are also Not much difference."

After finishing speaking, Ning Ruichen glanced outside the small courtyard, across a long corridor to the Buddhist hall, where the prayer flags fluttered, and suddenly felt blessed: "Is it the one we saw when we were young when we visited relatives in Beijing?"

Ning Yuquan was taken aback. When he went back to Beijing, he just sat quietly in front of his uncle, and didn't play around the yard like his younger brother, so he saw very little, and he didn't hear about any unicorn paintings.

Speaking of this, Ning Ruichen didn't say anything for a long time, he just looked after himself, feeling a little sad.

The scars from the trip to Zhongshan were like a joke, they had healed long ago, but the words Yuan Junyu said kept echoing in his mind.Ning Ruichen was not entirely a condescending and frivolous person. Maybe he was at fault. He also secretly asked someone to find Yuan Junyu, but there was no news at all. After that day, there was no such person in Nanjing at all. traces of the.

"Forget it, come here first today, and dad will come back after noon. The recent troubles have been one after another. Let's not make mistakes. The yamen is quite aggrieved." Ning Yuquan got up and told a few sentence.

The officialdom in the old capital was never peaceful. Ning Ruichen wanted to say a few words of comfort, but when he came to the exit, he said, "I want to find someone."

"I'll send someone to ask, if there is a mage giving lectures, I'll pick a quiet day to go..." Ning Yuquan thought he was really going to the temple, so he didn't take it seriously, and said as he walked.

Ning Ruichen caught up two steps, and blurted out: "Brother, I want to find Yuan Junyu."

The room fell silent for a moment, and Bao'er sensed that something was wrong, so she hid behind the curtain early, trying to integrate with the big vase with silk flowers.

Ning Yuquan stopped abruptly, with that hesitant expression again: "...Ruier, we are not ordinary people, we have to be modest in everything we do."

Ning Ruichen felt guilty, fiddled with the bracelet, turned back and said, "I'm looking for a playmate, but I'm out of control?"

"Let me tell you the truth," Ning Yuquan pulled his face, "I know the details of that Yuan Junyu a few days ago. When he came out in his teens, he killed someone, and the one who died was an eunuch. The slave killed the master, this How can it be unreasonable, a thousand cuts is not an exaggeration! Such a person, what kind of playmate do you want to be?"

Ning Ruichen's movement of pulling the bracelet froze, as if he didn't understand the word "killing" very well, and looked at his elder brother in a little confusion.

"Later, the one who settled this matter was also an eunuch." Ning Yuquan angrily reported the name of the former Nanjing guard, "He can do such a thing. He wants to lie to you and coax you. It's not easy. Is it?"

Ning Ruichen was somewhat vaguely aware of elder brother's hostility towards Yuan Junyu. After all, he was a person of unknown origin and had such an identity.But one yard counts for one yard, and Ning Ruichen was not very comfortable hearing this: "Where did you hear the news..."

Ning Yuquan frowned, as if he didn't want to mention it: "It's all about asking someone, is there still a lack of this connection in our family?"

"Don't tell me—" Ning Ruichen got angry, turned out the longevity lock on his chest and unlocked it, and pressed it on the desk, which meant that he wanted to understand, "I, I don't believe it!"

Thinking of the younger brother who seemed to be easy to handle with glutinous rice balls when he was a child, Ning Yuquan felt a sharp pain in his heart, and stared at Ning Ruichen twice, knowing that the one who could convince him could not be anyone he made up with nonsense up.Right now it is impossible to say no, Ning Yuquan turned his heart, took two steps over, grabbed the longevity lock angrily, and tied it around Ning Ruichen's neck: "Two days ago, I came from Songjiang mansion!"

Hearing the words "Songjiang Mansion", Ning Ruichen was stunned, and heard his elder brother angrily say: "That Xie Er, that brother Yan of yours, sent a special letter to say it!"
