You hear it, do people say it?

Zhongshu Province has been busy with government affairs these past few days, and when Li Shilang returned to the mansion, it was almost midnight.

Mrs. Li sat in the main hall and waited. When she saw him come back, she quickly handed over a cup of warm tea: "I was hoping that you would come back earlier today, but I didn't expect it to be this time."

"It's almost the end of the holiday, and everyone is busy." Li Shilang took the tea, but he didn't rush to drink it, and asked, "Is Ziyu here?"

Mrs. Li sighed: "I was about to tell you this, but here I am, but I was caught by a gangster."

Li Shilang frowned: "What's going on?"

Mrs. Li explained everything one by one, her eyes were full of worry: "Tomorrow, Yu will go to Guozi Academy to study, if he makes trouble again, what should I do?"

Li Shilang was speechless for a while, before he said, "According to you, Ziyu doesn't have any clue about what happened today?"

"Exactly."

Li Shilang put down the teacup, rubbed the center of his brows: "I'll take care of this matter, it's getting late, you go back and rest first."

Seeing her husband walking towards the door, Mrs. Li unconsciously tightened the handkerchief in her hand: "Where are you going?"

Li Shilang paused, turned his head and looked at his wife helplessly: "I'm going to see Ziyu, where else can I go?"

"Ah, um, good." Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief, watched her husband leave, and then turned and went back to the room.

Fu Ning's courtyard is not far from the main hall, Li Shilang hurried all the way, and arrived at Fu Ning's courtyard not long after, but as soon as he entered the courtyard door, he was choked by the strong fragrance of flowers and sneezed: "What is this smell?! "

"Master, it's all kinds of impatiens."

Li Shilang: ...

He is a good nephew, what's the matter with planting a yard of flowers and plants?

As the breeze blew, another fragrance of flowers hit. Li Shilang quickly raised his sleeves to cover his nose, and walked quickly into the house.

Fu Ning was reading a book on the couch in his underwear, when he heard that his uncle had arrived, he hurriedly got out of bed and greeted him. Before he could say "Uncle", he was startled by Li Shilang's earth-shattering sneeze : "Uncle, are you catching a cold?"

Li Shilang sniffed, with an indifferent face: "I was choked by the broken flowers in your yard."

Fu Ning looked at his uncle's embarrassment, wanted to laugh but felt he couldn't laugh, pinched his thigh, and turned his want to laugh into concern: "The smell is really pungent."

Li Shilang glanced at him: "Laugh if you want, don't pretend to be virtuous. The year before last, you took Jingshu to climb the roof, and I helped send your aunt away."

Fu Ning couldn't hold back, and laughed, seeing his uncle staring at him like a lawsuit, he immediately restrained his smile: "I was too young and ignorant, not only disturbed uncle, but also made you a scapegoat. , until now, I still feel very sorry."

Li Shilang: .........

He watched Fu Ning's expression jump from spring warmth to deep annoyance in an instant, without any buffer in the middle, and sincerely sighed: "If your father had the ability to change his face like you, you would have returned to the capital eight years ago."

Fu Ning smiled "shyly" and said, "Thank you uncle for your compliment."

Li Shilang slapped him on the back: "Okay, stop pretending! Speak well!"

Fu Ning came all the way from Jiangnan, Li Shilang was worried all the time, now that he finally saw someone, he couldn't help asking about the things on the way, the uncle and nephew were talking, and they talked about Xun Yi.

Li Shilang stroked his beard, frowned and said: "This heir of the Ping Wang family was just acting indifferent before, but I have never heard of him taking the initiative to make trouble with anyone on purpose; from your aunt's point of view, you don't know why he did this? "

Fu Ning sighed: "According to him, it's because I didn't call him brother, so he wanted to find fault with me."

Li Shilang looked serious, and turned the words in his mind eight times, but he really didn't get any deep meaning, so he subconsciously asked: "What?"

Fu Ning sighed, and repeated in a low voice: "He asked me to call him brother."

Li Shilang: ...

He rubbed his forehead: "I think it's complicated." On the way here, he guessed the plots and government affairs from beginning to end in his mind, but he didn't guess that the matter turned out to be this way.

Seeing that his uncle hadn't made a sound for a while, Fu Ning reached out and poked Li Shilang's face: "Uncle?"

Li Shilang slapped his hand away: "They are all over fourteen, why are they still as dishonest as they were when they were young?"

Fu Ning immediately sat upright, pretending to be a good boy: "What uncle taught me is that Ziyu knows."

Li Shilang wanted to say a few more words about him, but saw that he was sitting upright and his back was straight. Although he hadn't grown up yet, he already had the character of a gentleman like Zhilan Yushu, and he couldn't express it when he was preaching. , just sighed silently.

"Ziyu, when you grow up, I won't hide some things from you, and I will tell you directly."

Seeing that his uncle's face was serious, Fu Ning restrained himself: "Say it."

"Do you understand the status of Prince Ping's son?"

Fu Ning nodded: "He is the only son of King Ping. He grew up in the capital and won the Sacred Heart. I can't afford to offend him."

Li Shilang smiled wryly: "You can't afford to offend me, and I can't afford to offend you either." He is just a fourth-rank Zhongshu waiter, even if he really loves his nephew, there are some things he can only let go.

"He is also studying in Taixue now, but he is two years older than you, so he should not be in the same courtyard as you. If he doesn't look for you, you can read your books as usual with Feng Shangshu's youngest son."

"What if he looks for me?" Fu Ning couldn't help asking.He always felt that this matter seemed impossible to end so quickly.

"If he still looks for you," Li Shilang pondered for a moment, "if it's still for that reason, you—hey, just call him brother."

After saying this, Li Shilang sighed, with a gloomy look on his face.It was others who spoke lightly, and even my nephew was wronged.

Seeing it, Fu Ning knew that his uncle was sad for himself, so he let out a breath and smiled: "Don't be sad, uncle, he is the son of Prince Ping, and I am a common man, so I call him brother, or I will take advantage of it." .”

Li Shilang's mood eased a lot after being teased by him.He had to get up early the next day to go to court, so he didn't stay any longer, and after saying a few more words, he got up and wanted to leave.

Fu Ning sent him to the door, but Li Shilang suddenly stopped in his tracks: "Since when did you start liking these flowers and plants?"

Fu Ning's expression was heavy: "Since I lived in this courtyard."

Li Shilang looked at his expression, was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Did your aunt and Jingshu do it for you?"

Fu Ning raised his forehead: "My mother said years ago that she would teach me how to coax girls, and she planted this flower in a yard for me, but when my uncle saw it when he went to Jiangnan, he thought..."

Li Shilang: ...

He looked at his nephew sympathetically: "The flowers will wither in a few days, I will find an excuse to help you replace these things." Although he wanted to get rid of the things in the yard now, he thought of his wife With my daughter's reaction, I hesitated for a while, and decided to wait a few days before changing.

The uncle and nephew looked at each other and sighed in unison.

The next morning.

As soon as Fu Ning stepped out of the house, he found that there was an extra carriage at the door. No matter the size or the exquisite decoration, it didn't look like the one used by Feng Yu's family every day.

The eyelids suddenly twitched a few times without any warning, Funing closed his eyes, he really didn't want to think about who was sitting in this car.

After a moment of silence, a slender hand opened the car curtain, revealing a face he had only seen yesterday.Xun Yi stared at him with cold eyes: "You stand there still, are you going to be a living decoration at the door of the Minister's Mansion?"

Fu Ning: I am gentle, courteous and thrifty.

I put it on.

Li Shilang: I say one thing at home.

I also pretended. ?
