After Xu Jiang left, Xia Xun lingered in the school martial arts field for a long time, then went to wash himself briefly, changed his clothes, and went around to the flower hall and the sanctuary.
Several wives and concubines were chatting in the hall, talking about children's affairs and doing some business on the side.
The two newborn children were taking a nap, but several other children were already awake.
Xia Xun has a house full of children and is very productive, which makes others envious. For himself, it really adds endless fun to the family.
If there were only a group of adults, the couple would sit there and talk all they had to say over the years. But if there were children there, there would be endless topics to talk about. Half-grown children, babies in their infancy...
The happiness of love can be experienced by a man and a woman, but the happiness of a family can only be complete if there is a child.
After seeing the end of time, Xia Xun was still teasing the children on the Arhat bed. Xiaodi gave birth to a fat boy, and Xilin gave birth to a fair and tender daughter. The brother and sister were only a few days apart, so they all slept on the Arhat bed.
, Girls have been honest since they were little, they will yawn and go to sleep when they are full, and seldom bother, but boys are not like that, they are very energetic. At this time, the second young master has already woken up.
Xia Xun was lying on his side on the Arhat bed, teasing his little son. He was holding a ball wrapped with various colored silk threads in his hand. When he shook the ball, the little boy used his hands and feet to hook the ball desperately, grabbing, grabbing, grabbing.
When he was tired, he lay there, staring with big eyes. After regaining his strength a little, he immediately turned his limbs in the air and continued to struggle to grab the ball from his father's hand.
This kid is too energetic. If he doesn't use up all his strength, he will be like the devil in the world. He will make you no longer want to live in peace. Si Yang and Si Xun have taken Huaiyuan and ran out to play. Si Yu
He Siqi snuggled next to Xia Xun.
After all, these two little girls are a few years younger than their two sisters. The two sisters are already sensible, and Yang Huaiyuan is too young, so they don't care much about the birth of their little brothers and sisters. These two girls are not good at it. They don't usually bother much.
I love my father, but when I saw that I doted on my younger brothers and sisters, I became jealous and insisted on staying with him to share my father's love.
So, Xia Xun had no choice but to coax his youngest son while telling stories to the two little girls, pretending to be a loving father. What Xia Xun was telling was the story "The Butcher and the Wolf". The story was not long, and Xia Xun couldn't stand it.
, the wolf was hooked on the meat hook----turned up, he went on to talk about the wolf brother coming for revenge, the wolf brother died, the wolf brother came again, the life and death of each wolf is different, and now he has talked about the wolf grandmother...
…
Ming'er sat aside and looked at the account book, raising her head from time to time to interject, joking with a few sisters. Suddenly, she glanced at the copper leaf lotus-shaped clepsydra in the corner, and reminded Xia Xun: "Mr.
It's three o'clock, why don't you go and 'read'?"
Xia Xun said "Oh" and sat up. The two little girls knew that their father was going to "study", so they stopped pestering him. They got out of bed, put on their shoes, told their parents, and ran out to find him.
My sister was playing, but Xia Xun sat up cross-legged, coughed and said: "Madam, ladies, stop what you are doing for a moment, I have something to say for your husband!"
When Xia Xun said this, no matter they were embroiders, accountants, or sewing clothes for children, they all stopped and looked at him. Ming'er said in a funny voice: "My husband, I have something to give you, so seriously."
, don’t scare the sisters!” After hearing this, the other girls also noticed that everyone looked nervous and laughed unconsciously.
Xia Xun said: "Well... My husband has been on a whim recently, and I calculated with my fingers that I am going to be imprisoned. Looking at the current situation in the court, I am afraid that I will go to jail."
As soon as Xia Xun said these words, the room became extremely quiet. None of the women breathed heavily, and their rapid breathing could be heard clearly. Zi Qi said in shock: "Master, don't be scared.
What happened to me?"
Ming'er also said anxiously: "Ms. sir, what news have you heard?"
Xia Xun waved his hands and said: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, why are everyone so out of control?"
Having said that, no one was worried if something happened to the head of his family. All the wives and concubines gathered around him, with panic on their faces, as if he would never come back after leaving.
Xia Xun said: "This is just my guess, I can't be sure. I just understood some things, figured out the holy meaning, and made a rough inference. In fact, I have some expectations about this matter. Do you know why?
?Because...since the emperor came back this time, what he did has been unreasonable and traceable. I am completely confused. I don’t know what the emperor wants to do. That is the most dangerous thing. If my words come true, then
It proves that my guess is correct, in that way, I will naturally be able to seek good luck and avoid bad luck, and be safe!"
Even with Xie Xie's astuteness, he couldn't help but frown after hearing Xia Xun's meaningless words: "What on earth are you talking about, Mr. Xie? How come you're in jail, but you're fine? If you're not in jail, you're going to have to go to jail."
Is there some trouble coming?"
Xia Xun smiled and said: "No, if I don't go to jail, it proves that my guess is wrong. My guess is wrong, so it won't cause any trouble. But in that case, I'm afraid the prince will really fall. If
The prince has fallen. After the emperor has lived forever and the King of Han has ascended the throne, our disaster will inevitably come. We can avoid it on the first day of the lunar month, but not on the fifteenth. If it is true as I said, you really want to put me in jail... Hehe, this
The trouble will be completely ended, and you won’t have to worry about it anymore.”
Ming'er said anxiously: "Oh, there are no outsiders here, my husband, how can you be clever? Can't you just tell us straightforwardly?"
Before he could finish his words, Erluzi ran over in a hurry. When he reached the entrance of the hall, he shouted loudly: "Master, there are many guards in golden clothes coming outside our house!"
"Seriously? Haha, it's true!"
Xia Xun clapped his hands and laughed, feeling very happy.
Although Ming'er and Xie Xie still didn't understand what kind of medicine Xia Xun was selling in the gourd, they secretly felt relieved when they saw his expression. Ming'er thought to herself: "My husband said that going to jail is better than not going to jail.
There should be a reason. My husband has a plan in mind. We just need to take good care of our family and don't let your husband worry about it."
Zi Qi, Su Ying, and Xiao Di could not have imagined this. When they heard that the Jin Yiwei had surrounded the Duke's Mansion, and that Xia Xun had just said that he was going to jail, they immediately became anxious and hurriedly surrounded them, talking and talking.
There was a commotion, and Zi Qi asked: "Why is Ji Gang here? I have always been at odds with him, how can I be better off after being imprisoned?"
Xiaodi was like an ant on a hot pot, circling around and saying: "What should I do? What should I do? Madam, why don't you go to the palace and ask for a favor from the Emperor? The Emperor loves the Empress very much, and the Madam is the Empress's most beloved younger sister. No.
Look at the monk’s face and look at the Buddha’s face…”
Su Ying said with murderous intent: "This is unreasonable! For the imperial court and the emperor, I have gone through mountains of swords and seas of fire. I have been through life and death many times. I have worked so hard, but there is no credit for it. This old man of the emperor has put me in jail over and over again! We are rebelling.
Come on! It’s great to let him be the emperor. Let’s escape to the East China Sea and hide in the sea. What can he do to me?”
Xilin and Jeanne had tears in their eyes. Qiao Yun was already covering her mouth, tears falling down.
Xia Xun glared at Su Ying and said: "Nonsense! You don't think there is enough trouble, don't you? You all should be more secure. Everything in the house is decided by the wife. You are not allowed to cause trouble for me. Have you forgotten what the master just said?"
"
Xia Xun walked out, stepped out of the threshold, turned around and said again: "You just have to know what I just said to you, and you must not leak a word, otherwise, I will really be in trouble, sir."
Got it!"
After Xia Xun said that, he raised his legs and walked to the front yard. The women suddenly surrounded Ming'er and asked hurriedly: "Madam, what should I do?"
Ming'er was also upset and worried, but first she believed that her husband must have something to rely on after he said these words, and secondly, her husband had left, and she had to hold up the house, and anyone could cry.
Anyone can mess up, but she can't mess up, so she pretended to be calm and said: "Didn't you all hear what the master just said? Don't panic, go ahead and live your life peacefully, the master knows what you are doing.
It’ll be okay.”
Seeing that the girls were still hesitant, he thanked them and said, "Sisters, don't be stunned. If the madam says it's okay, then it will be fine. Besides, the master just said something in advance. Think about it carefully. Unless our master catches people off guard, as long as he has something in advance
He is the only one who is careful and has always caused others to suffer losses. Who can cause him to suffer losses?"
Seeing that Zhi Duoxing said the same thing, the girls thought about it and realized that it was the same truth, and their panic a little lessened.
Xia Xun was accompanied by Er Lengzi, the steward, all the way to the front hall, where he saw a man in a brocade robe and fish suit, wearing a wingless black gauze on his head, with a long knife hanging under his ribs, and his hands behind his back.
Look at the pictures on the screen.
Xia Xun coughed lightly, and the man turned his head abruptly, and then turned around. He looked like an eagle and a wolf, and his eyes suddenly came into view. This man had a beard like a hedgehog, and his eyes were as sharp as cold lightning. He was the commander of the Jinyi Guards.
Ji Gang. However, this ruthless man with a reputation as a ruthless man in Jinling City did not look ruthless when he saw Xia Xun. He immediately smiled on his face and rushed to greet him.
Ji Gang came forward with a smile on his face, took a step forward with his left leg, held his knee with his left hand, drooped his right hand, and bent his right leg down to half-kneeling. The whole movement was graceful and unrestrained, showing a neat energy, showing the fullness of his heart.
Relaxed and happy, he smiled and said: "Ji Gang pays my respects to the Duke!"
Saying hello is a Ming Dynasty military salute, commonly known as "bending one knee." Later, Manchurians waved their horseshoe sleeves, stepped forward, and saluted, which was the Ming Dynasty military salute.
However, at this time in the Ming Dynasty, there were not many occasions for "bending one knee". Apart from the military camp, this salute could only be performed in private situations. In yamen and public places, it was necessary to bow or kowtow according to rank.
That's it. Now Ji Gang met Xia Xun at Xia Xun's house. He saluted like this, which was like bowing to him and getting closer.
Xia Xun couldn't help but laugh when he saw his pretentious look. This bastard who pretended not to be a grandpa or a grandson would have wanted to avoid him long ago when he saw him. It seemed that even saluting him would be a great humiliation. But now
He wanted to take him back, but he became extra respectful.
In the final analysis, this is due to his inferiority complex. Poor Ji Yan Wang, there are almost no people in the capital who are not afraid of him. Who knew that he was such a low self-esteem person in his heart? Since Ji Gang wants to play cat and mouse, Xia Xun will not follow.
He was polite, just nodded grandly, and asked: "Master Ji is always busy with official duties. Why are you here today?"
