clean

The three of them returned to the mansion together, and it was nearly dusk.

The servants in the mansion are busy, and the bickering of Si Yan and Si Lu can still be vaguely heard in the hall, the cicadas and insects are humming, and the hanging silk begonias are shining with stars, like a paper raft with yellowed memory, in a trance, Si He was a little dazed.

"The third young master is back—"

Si Yan was chatting with Si Lu about the prince, when he heard the steward's voice, he came out, "Si He, you want me to send back Linyuan's child—"

"Second brother, don't bother, A Yuan's grandma is already here." Si He hastily introduced to Si Yan, "This is A Yuan's grandma—Grandma Yaotai. This time I came to Mocheng to visit Xuangu in Yunxiao Villa , I’ll go tell my mother later.”

"Grandma Yaotai..." Si Yan chewed these four words carefully, and asked uncertainly after a long while, "But Granny Yaotai who is known as 'Thousand Miles Flying Immortal' in Linyuan Xuncheng?"

"Exactly." Yaotai Granny smiled slightly, "Young master has good eyesight, I haven't heard anyone call me that for a long time."

"I used to worship Taoist Yushan as my teacher, and I also heard the name of mother-in-law from my master." Si Yan was also quite excited.

This mother-in-law has a lot of background, and it is rumored that she is very good at light work.Thousands of miles a day is no problem, coming and going like the wind, which is rare in the world.Relying on this ghostly body technique, he is unrivaled in the world.

After hearing the conversation between the two, Si He understood.

He said that this mother-in-law seemed quite extraordinary.Si He once heard from Si Yan that lightness kung fu is related to body skills and internal strength. Some people are naturally gifted, so lightness kung fu is naturally better than others, and some people have deep internal strength, and lightness kung fu can also improve accordingly.

It turns out that the appearance of an expert is no different from that of ordinary people.

He has never practiced martial arts, so he is naturally curious about these things, and looks enviously at Granny Yaotai, but he forgets that in the eyes of others, he is also full of desirable identities.

After dinner, Ah Yuan went to rest early, and Si He explained everything that happened to his parents in detail. When Mrs. Si heard that the Yaotai mother-in-law was going to Yunxiao Mountain Villa, she smiled curiously, "Before now, Gu Xuan and I were old acquaintances, but I never heard her say that I have relatives in Linyuan."

"I only met Xuan Gu once." Yaotai Granny smiled, not caring what Madam Si said, "It's just that I asked the deceased to come to Chengguo to find her once."

After finishing speaking, she took out a jade hairpin from her pocket, "This jade hairpin was originally a dragon and phoenix hairpin. My old friend entrusted me with the phoenix hairpin, and the other one is with Xuangu."

Mrs. Si took it half-believingly, inspected it carefully, and then handed the jade hairpin back, "It's really as my mother-in-law said, I saw it in Xuangu's room before, and I heard her mention the story of the dragon and phoenix hairpin. Then dare to ask mother-in-law, your old friend is..."

"The old man's name is taboo, so it's inconvenient to disclose it." Yaotai Granny nodded and smiled, Mrs. Si understood it, so she didn't ask any further questions.

Si Lu had a delicate mind, so he bowed early and retreated, Si Yan also hurriedly found an excuse and left.

In the huge hall, Si He was the only one, who was still eating grapes by himself without caring.

Seeing this, Mrs. Si was a little dissatisfied, "Si He, what are you still doing here?"

"Eating grape promises—" Si He replied with a smile, as if he didn't hear the meaning behind his mother's words, "Does mother want to eat too?"

"You kid—"

"Madam Si," Granny Yaotai said at the right time, "I see that the third young master is weak, and he should practice martial arts to strengthen his body. If he doesn't dislike him, he would like to accept him as an apprentice. I don't know what Madam Si wants?"

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

Mrs. Si was still stunned in place, but Si He reacted faster than his mother, and immediately knelt down and saluted, "Master is here, and I will be worshiped by my disciple."

Granny Yaotai was very helpful, and she smiled kindly, "Get up, you will go to Guanyue Mountain with me tomorrow, and I will teach you a few tricks."

Si He didn't know why the mother-in-law's attitude had changed like this, but there was a pie in the sky, no matter if it was a trap or honey, let's eat it!

After Mrs. Si came to her senses, she also thanked her again and again. She sent someone to clean up the west wing room for Granny Yaotai to live in, and ordered a few servants to take care of her. She discussed with Granny Yaotai and set off for Yunxiao Mountain Villa the day after tomorrow. .

……

Ji Wanghuai brought two groups of people, Jiu Qing and Yu Jiang followed him to find Si He, and the other group collected information in Chengguo.

"Second prince, we will reach the Heqing River after another day of walking. After crossing the river, we will reach Guanyue Mountain in Qiguo." Yu Jiang pulled the reins, and the horse snorted and stopped, "It's better to rest for one night Well, it's getting dark."

"it is good."

Jiuqing was busy looking for branches to set up a bonfire, Yu Jiang went to feed the horses horse grass, Ji Wanghuai had nothing to do, when he was depressed in his dantian, he stepped lightly on the branches and jumped.

He stood with his hands behind his back, relying only on the strength of a branch under his feet, he was above the forest.

Everything is quiet, the night in the mountains and forests is always deep and full of gloom, sparks are shining in the distance, and we are already so far away from the capital before we know it.

A bright moon above his head reflected his pale face, he reached out and touched the center of his brow, the jade stone on his forehead was cold.

I don't know if the elder brother's body can last until the magician returns.

When he was a child, he didn't know what it means to fight for imperial power, and it was only after he grew up that he gradually smelled power.

He still vaguely remembered that when he visited the prince one time, he overheard the conversation of the servants, saying that if the prince was seriously ill, the second prince must be the one who would take over the throne.

At that time, he was shocked, and there was no joy at all. Fear and fear filled his heart.After he reacted, there were already two dead bodies lying on the ground.

He said clearly in the same season, unlike other royal brothers.Ji Wanghuai's mother and concubine died of a serious illness when he was still in his infancy, and he was brought up by the queen since he was a child.

The rest of the princes were indoctrinated by their mothers and concubines to fight for imperial power and intrigue, and then fought openly and secretly in front of King Wen, but he and the prince were not like this.

He is grateful to the queen and respects the prince.

In his life, he has no struggles or demands.

"Second prince—the rabbit is ready, come down and eat—" Jiuqing's voice came from under the tree, he responded, lifted his robe, and jumped down.

Two hares were placed on the fire, and the shiny oil dripped into the fire, making a crisp crackling sound, the rabbits were shiny with oil, and gave off a sizzling fragrance.

"Yu Jiang's craftsmanship has improved." Ji Wanghuai praised, "I can already smell the fragrance."

Yu Jiang took down one rabbit and handed it to Ji Wanghuai, and he and Jiu Qing shared the other to eat.

"It's not enough for the two of you to eat one." Ji Wanghuai frowned, broke off a large piece of rabbit leg and handed it to Jiuqing, "You are already tired enough on this journey, you should eat more to replenish your strength."

"Second Prince—"

"Don't talk about it, you can just eat." Ji Wanghuai smiled, "I'm not hungry, and when we get to Chengguo, let's have a good meal."

"By the way, the second prince, I heard from the father-in-law in the palace that day that the princess of Linyuan is going to marry and get married." Jiuqing is keen to inquire about gossip on weekdays, and enjoys gossip, "I don't know which prince it is Woolen cloth!"

"Brother already has a concubine, and the position of side concubine is still reserved, but with the temperament of the Linyuan princesses, they will never agree to commit themselves to being a side concubine." Ji Wanghuai slowly cut the rabbit meat with a dagger, piece by piece slowly. Chewing slowly.

"The third prince is irritable and perverse, he can't hold his breath, the fifth prince and the sixth prince are underage, and the rest are all princesses, after all the calculations—"

He uncorked the jug and took a sip of wine, "After all the calculations, I guess it's me."

"That's great! We finally have a mistress in the palace!" Jiuqing clapped his hands happily, but was interrupted by Yu Jiang, "Where is it good? The one who married here is not an ordinary woman, but the princess of Linyuan, the princesses of our Qi Kingdom They all have weird tempers, not to mention Linyuan's princess, who was raised by Linyuan as a prince, so it might be so tortured!"

"But I don't want to get married either." Ji Wanghuai frowned, he had never had much contact with women, and he didn't know how to please her, so he was given a princess for no reason, he really had a headache just thinking about it.

However, the difference with Ji Wanghuai is that a person of about the same age has already perfected the skill of flirting.

"Little beauty Yingyu—" Yingyu is the maid in Mrs. Si's room. Seeing her coming out, Si He hurriedly went up to meet her and looked at her with a smile, "What are mother and master whispering in the room?" Folding the fan, gently hooked the woman's chin, "Don't lie."

"Third young master..." Yingyu blushed, lowered her eyes, her voice was as thin as a mosquito bite, "Madam didn't say anything... just chatting with Yaotai Granny about Yunxiao Villa..."

"anything else?"

"And... it's about the third young master."

"What's the matter with me?" Si He asked with a frown, but Ying Yu just shook her head, "Madam asked the servant to wait outside."

Even if he wanted to ask a little maidservant, he couldn't find out anything about it, so he gave up and took out a pair of earrings and handed them to Yingyu as a thank you, "I passed by a jewelry store that day, and I saw this pair is pretty, I'll give it to you."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left, not caring about Yingyu's blushing cheeks, he always felt that everything was full of weirdness, but he couldn't figure out his thoughts

That's all, let's take a step at a time.
