Rong Xuan

It was getting late after seeing Zhong You.

Sima Xuan took his daughter Sima Qing out of the Zuihai Building, and for the first time, met Xun Run and Xun Shechuan, the current chief minister of the cabinet, at the gate.

"Is this the girl from the twins?" Xun Run put one hand behind his back and twisted his beard with the other, looking at Sima Qing who was being held by Sima Xuan with a smile on his brows and eyes.

"That's right," Sima Xuan put Sima Qing on the ground, rubbed the child's soft hair, and said in a warm voice, "Good girl, ask Weng Xun for his well-being."

Sima Qing's etiquette rules were taught by Sima Xuan's sister, Sima Ying, and she saw the little people bending over each other, looking very decent.

As the eldest daughter of Jinglinghou's mansion, Sima Qing is neither humble nor overbearing at such a young age, and she is calm and calm: "Qing'er asks Weng Xun about his health, and wishes Weng Xun to be safe and happy, and everything goes well."

The little man was so cute and unabashed that it made Xun Run laugh loudly. He reached out and touched his two sleeve pockets, but they were all empty, so he had no choice but to take off the jade pendant around his waist.

Xun Run squatted down, and solemnly put the mellow jade pendant into Sima Qing's hands. He was as kind as the kind elders in ordinary people's homes: "It's the first time I saw you. Qing girl is happy and carefree."

Sima Qing raised her head and glanced at her father standing beside her. After getting Sima Xuan's consent, she happily accepted Xun Run's jade pendant and smiled innocently: "Thank you, Weng Xun."

"Thank you, Mr. Xun, for your love." Sima Xuan bowed his hands to Xun Run, his voice was hoarse and slightly nasal, and beckoned for the maid who followed to take Sima Qing back to the carriage.

"It's okay, it's okay, I've always loved children, and this one of yours is too cute," Xun Run followed Sima Qing to the Marquis's carriage for a while.

When Sima Qing got into the carriage, the kind Xun Wengweng narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes immediately became sharp and shrewd.

He took a small step towards Sima Xuan, and casually said as if chatting casually: "The papers from Beishan and Weizhou have been handed over to the cabinet several times. Except for those from the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials, there are even some in the cabinet. It was intercepted from the road from Yushitai to Tonghe Hall, the old man has tried his best, but I don’t know what’s going on with Junhou?”

"Mr. Xun's great kindness, Xuan Ming remembers Wu Nei." Sima Xuan's face became darker, and he could even be called a little gloomy: "I heard that the eldest granddaughter of the Duke Deng's family of your department has been appointed over there. You can still live in peace, but Xuan is deeply sorry for causing Duke Xun to this point."

With that said, Sima Xuan bowed his hands to Xun Run again.

"It's still the same sentence, it's okay." Xun Run shook his head and sighed, raised his hand and patted Sima Xuan's arm, making people look like he was trying to comfort Sima Xuan: "He Sima Dezu should not die..."

Sima Dezu really deserved to die.

Imperial City, Ouchi:

His majesty the mild-tempered Emperor is still copying his hands, sitting benevolently behind the gilded book case of Bailong Tuanyun, as if the imperial guard with a tiger's roar mask who is kneeling at the bottom of the steps just told himself something It's a leisurely little thing like "the red plums in the plum garden are blooming".

Beside the imperial guards, Zhenhai King Zhang Chao, who was sitting in a square chair, couldn't help standing up. He stretched out his sleeves and cupped his fists behind the dragon case, saying in a deep voice, "Your Majesty is generous by nature."

As he spoke, Zhang Chao sighed in pain and could not bear it, and knelt down under the steps in front of the Dragon Case with his robes lifted: "Your Majesty has always been kind, and every time I think about the friendship between my fellow robes in the past, I can't bear to live in my heart. I know that the emperor's kindness is so great." , Your Majesty, Your Majesty, your virtue is the most holy. If you think about it, Dezu was only fascinated for a while, forgetting the original oath and sincerity, so he did these ridiculous things, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

"Okay, okay, Bufan, I know that you are wholeheartedly for the court and Dachao, but I am a little tired today, why don't we discuss this matter another day?" The emperor raised his hand and pressed the two foreheads, looking I got really tired.

The emperor, who wakes up early and stays late for state affairs all day long, took up his nap time after lunch because of some trivial matters, and now he feels a little tired, jumping around like two little frogs squatting on his temples, So annoying.

Zhang Chao glanced at the Imperial Guards kneeling next to him, and then at the man in red robes on the steps, and felt that he was a little anxious this time.

I had no choice but to give up and knelt down: "Your Majesty, your body is the highest, and my minister Zhang Chao has resigned."

"Go," the emperor nodded slowly with his eyes closed, and waved his wide sleeves to Hua Jinzhong, the chief internal officer who was waiting beside him: "You send King Zhenhai out personally."

"Yes." Hua Jinzhong accepted the order, stepped back from the side of the steps respectfully with arms folded, and personally sent Zhang Chao out of the Hall of Harmony.

Until Hua Jinzhong sent people back, the emperor waved his hands to light all the lamps in the hall.

The palace people quietly and quickly lit up all the lamps in the palace, and then the emperor squinted his eyes and leaned forward to the guards kneeling on the steps: "What's going on in Jinglinghou's mansion recently?"

The Imperial Guard, who also has the identity of the emperor's dark guard, still knelt on one knee, lowered his head and cupped his fists upwards: "Master, three waves of people came into the night house three nights ago, a total of fifteen people, all standing upright. In and out, the body lay outside the door of King Qingxu's resting room in the early morning of the next day—"

"Puff—cough cough cough..." The emperor who was drinking tea accidentally choked and sprayed the tea out of his mouth.

Hua Jinzhong hurried forward to clean up the spilled tea for the emperor.

"Ha...cough cough...hahaha!" The emperor was still holding a wide-mouthed teacup in one hand, and couldn't help laughing: "This, this Sima Yuanchu, hahahaha...he, he He's even more of a jerk than his old man cough cough cough..."

Hua Jinzhong patted the emperor's back for comfort, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Your Majesty, it's better to drink tea slowly, it's better to eat slowly."

"No hindrance, no hindrance," the emperor casually pushed the flowers to show his loyalty, and handed him the teacup in his hand, then turned to ask the man in black, "What about Sima Dezu? What's his reaction?"

Imperial Guard: "I'm getting impatient. I have threatened to destroy Sima Cao's bones and ashes, but now I don't dare to act rashly against Jinglinghoufu, so I don't have time to think about other things for a while."

"Ha," the emperor stroked the beard on his upper lip with his thumb and index finger, and looked at Hua Jinzhong next to him with a smile on his face: "I was a little hesitant when that kid came to beg me to put Yuanrong back. Oh... Heh, the agreement he made with me while kneeling under the steps seems to have happened yesterday, but in the blink of an eye it has already turned the world upside down!"

"Your Majesty is wise." Hua Jinzhong stood aside, quietly listening to the emperor's words, and then responded in a timely manner.

To be a slave, you don't need to be very smart, it's best to be obedient and loyal.

Suddenly, His Majesty the Emperor lightly stroked his palm, and looked meaningfully at Hua Jinzhong with his calm eyes.

He thought for a while, then pondered: "Since the Marquis of Jingling has made such a great contribution, then I have to reward him well—a decree..."

Hearing this, Hua Jinzhong immediately signaled Xiaohuangmen to pass on the decree of Ducheng to come into the palace.

Seeing Du Chengzhi stepping in, the emperor frowned, and said bluntly: "I remember that Xun Shechuan's daughter is still in her boudoir, heh, then give it to Jinglinghou's mansion to be the head of the house. "

Hua Jinzhong responded with a smile: "Your Majesty has spread grace widely, and he always likes the beauty of adulthood. I think Jingling Lord and Marquis can live a happy and happy life..."

This marriage is not for others, but for Cao Hui himself.

Xun Runqing has been an official for more than [-] years. He has successively served as the monarch of three dynasties.

This Xun Shoufu was not only a clean and honest official, he acted upright, he had traveled through three provinces and six ministries, and his disciples' old acquaintances were all over the world.

However, it is such a cabinet minister who is highly valued by the monarch, respected by his colleagues, and loved by the people, but he insisted on not renewing his wife after his wife died more than 20 years ago, and raised the daughter left by his deceased wife alone.

God may not often send charcoal to people when they are in trouble, but it is his old man who makes things worse——

Xun Shoufu's daughter suffered a lot with her father since she was a child. It was so easy for her father to pay homage to the chief minister of the cabinet.

Miss Xun went there in a disgraceful way, so Xun Run didn't tell anyone—outsiders only said that the girl from the Xun family was robbed by gangsters, and although she was found back later, the girl was frightened, and she has never been there since. Go out and meet people again.

By chance, it was a coincidence that this happened.

The fateful Miss Xun and Cao Hui had an accident in the winter of the 14th year of Jingchu at the same time. Under Sima Xuan's multi-party operation arrangement, Sima Xuan helped Xun Run secretly collect evidence to investigate the powerful family who killed Miss Xun in one fell swoop, and let them He got a noble exile, and unfortunately died of illness on the way to exile.

Xun Run, on the other hand, vacated a secluded small courtyard in Xun's house to provide a place for Cao Hui, who escaped from death, to recuperate.

When he was a teenager, Xun Run, who was born in a low-level official family, and Sima Xiu, Zhang Chao, Cao Ke and many other high-ranking sons worshiped and studied under the teacher of the Cao Mansion, the great Confucian Zhu Xi.

At first, the young Cao Ke didn’t remember that there was someone like Xun Run among his classmates, but under the impetus of various chances and coincidences, the few of them had later entanglements—Xun Run was not born high, and he was able to worship Mr. Zhu Studying under the door is already the result of his ancestors blessing his father to work hard to honor the superiors. He is usually not seen by those noble sons, but the extremely honorable eldest son of the Cao family is different.

The young Cao Ke never looked down on him because of his humble background. Cao Ke treated him and the sons of the gentry families equally like a kind brother...

Later, when Cao Ke and his son rebelled, Xun Run was naturally the first to not believe it. However, even though he knew the truth, he had no other choice.

He hated the person who stood at the top, but in the end he had no choice but to accept the order in the face of danger and provoke the cabinet leader—he told himself that everything was just to get closer to the truth he insisted on in his heart, and finally let it be revealed to the world!

After learning Cao Hui's true identity and having some verbal conversations with Cao Hui, Xun Run simply gave Cao Hui the identity of his daughter, so that the poor child could have a new start after being reborn from the ashes.

At nightfall when he received the news that the emperor was going to issue an imperial decree to marry the Xun family and the Jinglinghou's mansion, Xun Run had no choice but to meet Sima Xuan, a young man with a high position at such a young age, in person.

Blind Tea Curry:

Xun Run liked the Mochuan tea set in front of him very much.

He put down the tea knife made of animal bones, lowered his head and took a sip of the medium-hot tea, and said with a smile: "This old man took Yuanrong away, and from now on, she will not even have the last place to hide." .”

"If it's gone, it's gone." Sima Xuan poured tea on Xun Run, and there was no other expression on his face except for the deep eyes: "If you leave too much behind, people will be timid."

"The wine is full of respect, and the tea is full of deceit." Xun Run looked down at the tea in Sima Xuan's tea cup, and lightly tapped the edge of the pear tea table with his fingertips, saying meaningfully: "Your Majesty, wait You and Yuanrong... have married my daughter, and this old man will be your Yue family, this time I ask you to say a few offensive words to Junhou, and I hope you will forgive me."

Sima Xuan sat cross-legged across from Xun Run with his back straight. She nodded, bowed her hands and saluted: "Grand Xun please advise me."

"In the whole country of Dachao, at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, you deserved to be young and promising. You are thoughtful and thoughtful like mercury pouring down the ground, and you are quick in dealing with things like thunder and fire. win more,

In your position as the Marquis of Jingling, you, Sima Yuanchu, stepped on thousands of dead bones, and guarded the splendid country behind you... And the grievances and grievances of the previous generation must be resolved by the previous generation. Don't go where you want, don't fight for things that benefit everyone, if you can remember this sentence, it will be great. "

Sima Xuan lowered his eyelids halfway, forcibly covering up all the turbulent thoughts in his pitch-black eyes.

Standing up, tidying up his clothes, he bowed his hands to Xun Run in a big salute: "Duke Xun has taught you this time, and Xuan Ding will keep it in mind."

There was a knock on the door, and Liu Sheng's shadow was cast on the door screen painted "Tea Picking in the Mountains" by the light of the lantern in the corridor outside: "Master, we're here."

"Duke Xun, please." Sima Xuan bowed to Xun Run again.

Xun Run closed his eyes knowingly: "Go ahead, it takes a stick of incense."

……

"I have two words, I still have to say them to you personally," Sima Xuan was standing beside the Xun family's carriage wearing a cloak of staying alive. "I'm a bit stupid, and after much deliberation, I came up with such a solution—but don't worry, I will find you what you want in the end."

After saying that, Sima Xuan took a few strides to the side, got on his horse, reined in the reins and whipped away, without hesitation from start to finish.

She knew that procrastination was useless, Cao Huiben was unlikely to talk to her, but even if he did, it would probably be something she didn't really want to hear.

So if you choose not to give yourself a chance from the beginning.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes going all the way, Cao Hui opened the window of the carriage, opened a gap in the curtain and looked outside quietly.

There was a soft light on the protruding window sill, which was flickered warmly by the lights on the street, and Cao Hui saw something familiar.

It was an ordinary jade bracelet, its texture and craftsmanship were average, but it was left by Sima Xuan's biological mother to Sima Xuan.

Cao Hui felt familiar because Sima Xuan gave him this jade bracelet on the day of his marriage.

Reach out, take it in carefully, hold it in your hand, it feels smooth and cold to the touch.

The coachman pulled the steed and walked slowly along the long street. It was not yet the curfew. Although the weather was cold, the street was still full of people and quite lively.

Cao Hui leaned against the corner of the carriage, his body swaying along with the carriage.

After an unknown amount of time, she finally held the warm jade bracelet to her heart, covered her mouth with one hand, and burst into tears.
