You hear it, do people say it?

When Fu Ning returned to the Shi Lang's mansion, the moonlight happened to be over the top of the trees.

The light moonlight casts a silvery-white light and shadow on the light-colored ground, which at first glance looks like thin snow in winter.

Just like what he and Xun Yi had seen when they were young.

At that time, Funing was still young, and he was full of naive curiosity about everything. When he saw the pond in the mansion covered with thin snow, he thought the water in the pond was frozen, and yelled "I want to skate" and threw himself on the pond. .

The adults around were caught off guard, and it was too late to grab him. Seeing that one of his feet was about to step on the ice, someone behind him grabbed his skirt and dragged him firmly. back.

The young Xun Yi scolded him coldly with a straight face.

It's been too long, and he can't remember exactly what Xun Yi said, but at that time his neck was hurt by his collar, and after listening to Xun Yi's reprimand, the feeling of grievance came very quickly, and he cried immediately come out.

When the grown-ups saw him crying, they didn't bother to preach. They gathered around him for a good meal, and finally stopped crying. When they thought of Xun Yi again, they found that he was just watching from a distance outside the crowd. Ning looked over, snorted coldly, turned around and left.

After that day, all ponds in Taifu's mansion were surrounded by dense fences half a person's height.

At the beginning, Funing didn't understand why, he just thought that Xun Yi didn't like him, so he purposely made himself ashamed in front of everyone.Therefore, in the remaining few days, he bet against Xun Yi and planned not to call Xun Yi "brother of the province" again, but the next day he snatched the rabbit lamp given by others and was forced to cry He chased Xun Yi for a long time.

At that time, he only thought that Xun Yi's face was hideous, but thinking about it now, Xun Yi at that time probably just wanted to play with him.

"Master, we are here."

Fu Ning recovered from his thoughts, only to realize that he had unknowingly walked into his yard, and was looking at a laurel tree.

Fu Ning:......

He walked around the osmanthus tree calmly, with a calm look on his face as if nothing had happened: "Go ask them to prepare some felt cloth, and cover these unbloomed flowers later, I'm afraid that the flowers will fall later." rain."

The book boy was taken aback: "But the weather is just right now..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a muffled thunder in the sky, and a moment later, the cool evening wind came from outside the courtyard carrying water vapor, making the trees in the courtyard rustling, and blowing away the heat of the summer night in a short time a lot.

Book boy: ......

Fu Ning raised his eyebrows: "What did I say?"

The book boy was speechless, so he resigned himself to his fate, turned around and left, and went to find someone to prepare the felt cloth.

When they carefully covered the precious flowers, bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky, forming a tight rain curtain in the blink of an eye.

When the maids and servants rushed in, Fu Ning was leisurely leaning on the table and flipping through a book.

The maid who was in charge of Fu Ning's yard looked at the embarrassment of the group of people, and at Fu Ning who was calm and relaxed, and said with a smile: "Our young master must be the reincarnation of a god, the weather is too accurate."

Fu Ning chuckled lightly: "You discovered such a big secret, it's terrible. I'm going to read a spell later to make you forget about this whole thing."

When everyone heard this, they all laughed.

However, the book boy found that Fu Ning's gaze was fixed on the book, knowing that he was not in the mood to chat with everyone at the moment, so he winked with the big maid and told the maids and servants to retreat quietly.

The room became quiet, but Funing suddenly didn't have the heart to read any more.

He didn't know why he suddenly called out the title "Brother of the province", but when these four words came out of his mouth, Xun Yi's performance exceeded his expectations.

The noble young master in brocade clothes and jade robes sat there for a while, then suddenly looked at him, and asked seriously, "Are you calling me?"

After Fu Ning said it, he was stunned for a moment, and only after hearing Xun Yi's question did he realize that he had said something extraordinary.

But he could not immediately deny that he said it, so he bit the bullet and answered yes, and quickly apologized for his overstepping.

But Xun Yi's performance was different from what he had guessed.

Prince Ping, who is calm and indifferent on weekdays, and occasionally moody, the moment he heard his answer, his brows immediately lit up with joy, but in the blink of an eye, he forcibly suppressed him again, as if he wanted to expose everything. The true heart is buried.

"Don't overstep." Xun Yi maintained a calm expression, looked at Funing and said, "From now on, you can call like this."

His tone was somewhat restrained and unnatural, exactly the same as when he deliberately scolded others with a straight face when he was a child.It's just that Fu Ning was full of thoughts at the time, and didn't take his slight expression to heart, and only agreed half-jokingly.

Xun Yi is not a stupid person, so he can naturally see that he is not serious; but even so, when he talked about how to punish the culprit, he still showed a very serious attitude.

It was as if he took his joke seriously.

Fu Ning propped his forehead with his hands, and sighed softly.

Even though it was unbelievable, he had to believe that Xun Yi really intended to be his friend—or brother.

It's just that the way is a little twisted.

The raindrops outside the window are getting smaller, but the rain still hasn't stopped. The fine rain curtain and the whimpering cold wind blow on the window paper, leaving a dark wet mark.

Fu Ning looked at the water stains gradually fading away on the window, tapped the table twice with his fingertips, and made a decision in his heart.

Xun Yi is not a prince, so there is no need to worry that he will fight for power in the future and bring trouble to the Minister's House; his usual behavior is not out of the ordinary, and his character looks relatively proper. Since he wants to be friends, it's okay to make friends with him Tighten up.

What's more, the excuse that the third prince made today was that he and Xun Yi hit it off right away, leaving everyone behind to travel together hand in hand.

It's hard to tell the left and right, so let's just leave it at that.

The pattering rain sounded all night, and it hadn't stopped until the next day.

In the gloomy sky, the soldiers guarding the city gate did not relax their vigilance and carefully checked the crowds entering and leaving.

Most of the people who enter the city at this time on weekdays are small merchants who live near the outskirts of Beijing and are waiting to enter the city to do business. But today, among the small merchants who wear capes and hats and drive cars, there is a very simple car. carriage.

This sedan chair is extremely inconspicuous, and the guard at the gate just asked as usual: "Who is in the car?"

The groom driving the carriage at the door arched his hands towards him, and said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "My master came from the northwest and came to visit relatives in the capital."

The imperial guard frowned and said, "Northwest? You bring the documents leading the way."

There was a hint of panic in the groom's eyes, and his tone softened: "Master, it's raining, I'm afraid it's wet when I take it out, how about I bring it to you alone when the day is sunny?"

But the imperial guard didn't buy it: "We have umbrellas, you just take them."

"My master might disagree—"

"Long distances to the capital require guides, who cares if you agree or not?"

The groom's eyes flickered a few times, and he jumped out of the carriage suddenly, and ran towards the deep path beside the road.

"stop!"

The soldiers guarding the city were well-trained, and immediately sent a team to hunt them down. The soldiers who stayed in place pulled out their weapons and lifted the curtain of the car, but found that there was no one in the car, only a small package.

A guard jumped into the car and opened the package. After seeing the contents, his expression was shocked: "Quickly, go and tell General Feng that this package contains——Yanyin!"

In ancient times, salt was closely related to people's livelihood, and all dynasties have regarded it very seriously. Salt quotations are the certificates for merchants or salt officials to sell salt. Only those who are allowed by the state can get it. Selling salt secretly without permission is a very serious smuggling behavior. ?
