Returning the Pearl: Xia Jiayouzi

17 years later.

Summer House Garden.

"Jin Suo, where's my brother?"

It’s winter now, and it snowed a few days ago. Even though the winter in Jinan is not as severe as that in the north, it still makes people who are used to warmth unstoppable.There are a few sparse plum trees planted in the garden. The snow has not yet melted, and against the backdrop of the white snow, blossoming red plum trees stand proudly on the branches.

Standing in the winding corridor was a young man, about eight or nine years old, wearing a melon skin hat on his head, and clothes made of high-quality materials, with a jade belt around his waist and a piece of high-quality warm jade hanging on top.His face is not pale, it seems that he has been lingering on the sick bed all year round, but his appearance is very delicate, with big eyes, white almost transparent skin, and pink lips, he is really a fragile child like crystal, which makes people unable to help I feel sorry for you.

Jin Suo blessed the body, and replied: "I have seen the second son, at this hour, the young master should be in the study in the front yard."

The boy nodded to show that he understood, then turned and walked to the front yard.The snow on the road has been cleared by servants, but the cold wind is blowing, and it is still unbearably cold.

The young man walked slowly, looking at the Jiangnan-style Xia Mansion, feeling the cold wind in his face, which made him realize once again that he is no longer the Crown Prince Yinfeng, who went from high-spirited to absurd and decadent, and was finally deposed twice.

Now, he is just the adopted son of the Xia family, an abandoned baby, Xia Fenghua.

At the beginning, the owner of this body was born with insufficiency, so he was abandoned by his family, and after being picked up by Xia Qinghua, even if he didn't die, he never left the soup since he was a child.Until a high fever three years ago made him unconscious, and when he woke up again, Xia Fenghua was no longer there, and the one alive was Aixinjueluo Yinfeng.

Fortunately, Xia Fenghua still had memories. In the past three years, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has never shown any flaws. Xia Fenghua originally didn't like to go out because of his poor health.

However, looking at the front yard getting closer and closer, he sighed faintly - he really wasn't sure to hide this from the youngest head of the Xia family, Xia Qinghua.

In Xia Fenghua's memory, Xia Qinghua saved a pair of twin babies one winter, and one of them was Xia Fenghua.Because of his health, Xia Fenghua stayed in the Xia Mansion, quietly being the second son of the Xia Mansion, while his twin brother went to study business since he was a child. So the two brothers are not familiar with each other.

On the contrary, Xia Qinghua was very concerned about this poor frail child, so although the two brothers were not related by blood, they had a very good relationship.

Three years ago, shortly after Yinfeng "recovered from illness", the last head of the Xia family, Mr. Xia passed away.Xia Qinghua was raised and brought up by Mr. Xia himself, so it was the first time that Mr. Tsinghua, who had not changed his face when Mount Tai collapsed, showed his emotions for the first time.After attending the old man's funeral, he left home for three years without even saying goodbye.

A few days ago, Xia Qinghua returned to Xia's house suddenly. Because he was caught off guard, Yinfeng could only pretend to be sick, drank medicine for a few days, and lay on the bed to rest for a few days. Xia Qinghua came over to see him several times when he was busy taking care of Xia's house, but Yinfeng pretended to be weak and hid him every time, but if he hid again, he should be suspicious, so Yinfeng decided to take the initiative! [Or is it self-inflicted? ? 】

When he arrived at the door of the study, Yinreng asked his servants to inform him, and after a while, he invited Yinreng in.

It wasn't the first time Xia Fenghua came to Yinreng's study when he walked into Xia's family. Xia Qinghua often brought him here when he was a child.However, it is the first time for Yinfeng to come to this place [the key is that Xia Qinghua was not there before, and he could not enter without guidance] This is really a veritable study room. There are many books densely packed on the bookshelves. In the deepest part of the mess, there was a desk with the Four Treasures of the Study on it, and a large bookshelf behind it, all of which were Xia Qinghua's favorite books, or some articles he wrote himself.

In front of the desk, a man like pearls and jade was writing. He was dressed in white, which looked a little thin in the cold winter.A pair of red phoenix eyes are calm and soft, and the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, as if he is mocking all the injustices in the world. His gaze is focused on the copybook in front of him from beginning to end. No matter which woman sees it, he wishes these eyes could only focus on himself.It obviously makes people feel that he is not a gentle person, but people can't help but yearn for that bit of warmth.

This is really a quiet and beautiful picture. Yinfeng was a little dazed looking at it. Mr. Xia's funeral was held in a hurry. He was just ill at the time, so he didn't attend.Although Xia Qinghua's appearance was in Xia Fenghua's memory, it was not real. At this time, Yinfeng really realized why this person became the head of the Xia family at a young age.

While he was in a daze, Xia Qinghua had already put down the pen in his hand, and walked towards him, "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Why did you come to the front yard in such a cold day? I was going to see you this afternoon."

Yinfeng also reacted, smiled and spoke, a little bit shy [Big Mistake]: "Brother, you came back with great difficulty, but I happened to be sick, and I wanted you to come and see me in your busy schedule. Now that I'm well, come here Why don't you take a look at Brother?"

At the end, Yinreng even pretended to be pitiful [You are acting cute, kid].Xia Qinghua couldn't help laughing, like thousands of pear blossoms blooming in an instant, attracting people's hearts.

At the beginning, Mr. Xia asked people to bring him back to the Xia Mansion, away from Xia Yuhe and Xia Ziwei, but in the huge Xia Mansion, he was the only child, so he was inevitably lonely.When he was five years old, he sneaked out one night in winter, but he didn't expect that snowflakes began to scattered in the sky. On his way back to Xiafu, he saw two swaddling babies lying on the side of the road.There are also two newborn babies inside, both boys, exactly the same.

In ancient times, it was very taboo to give birth to twin boys, especially if they were identical, and they were usually the one born after discarding. At that time, I didn't expect that someone was so cruel that they discarded both.In such a cold day, how could the two babies survive? They might both perish in less than half an hour.However, when he saw the two children, he understood a little bit, one was congenitally deficient and could hardly survive, while the other was in good health, but this one was born later.

Thinking about it, these two babies are the children of poor families, they have no money for medical treatment, and they are twins, so they are cruelly discarded. If they are lucky and meet people from rich families, they may live a few more years.

Looking at the abandoned baby, Xia Qinghua was in a daze, as if recalling the winter of that year, the same cold, the same abandoned child, but there was no one...

When Xia Qinghua came out, Mr. Xia had already got the news and sent someone to follow him secretly, but Xia Qinghua knew about it but didn't reveal it.At this time, he called the people who followed him and brought the two children back to the Xia Mansion, where they became the second and third sons of the Xia Mansion.

Back then, the little man had grown up so much, Tsinghua felt a little emotional, reached out and touched Yinrong's braid, took his hand and walked into the study, asking as he walked: "Hands are so cold, why don't you know how to take them?" A stove, how do the servants serve it?"

He lowered his head to look at those fair hands, because he practiced martial arts all the year round, there was a thin layer of calluses on his hands, and the joints were clearly defined, which was really beautiful.But Yinfeng could only feel the warmth of those hands, and his eyes couldn't help being a little sour. Since he was imprisoned, no one cared about him anymore. Huang Ama only had suspicions about him, and his brothers just wanted to pull him off the horse. I have been sitting on the crown prince tremblingly for more than 20 years, except that Madam Ukuma [Empress Xiaozhuang] really loved him when he was a child, even Huang Ama seemed to have political considerations in his love for him...

Hearing no answer, Tsinghua looked down at Yinfeng, and saw the dazed and moved expression in his eyes, where Yinfeng couldn't see, there was tenderness and distress in his eyes.

No longer expecting his answer, Tsinghua pulled him to the stove and warmed his hands even though there was a stove: "Fenghua, prosperity will be back in two days."

bustling?

Hearing this name for the first time, Yinfeng, who was immersed in memories, was a little dazed, and then he realized that Fanhua was his twin brother.Counting the time, it is indeed almost time to come back.

"Is my brother coming back?"

Thinking about it in my heart, but my face still looked surprised, it seemed a little naive, looking at Tsinghua intently.
