After Xu Jin sent Sun Laosan down, he asked Erniu to put on a carriage and go to Xiaoyongfang, and his brother-in-law Xie Sangun also went out with him. It is said that his brother-in-law Xie Sangun has been living in the capital since the beginning of February and has been living for two months, as long as Xu Jin goes out to run errands, he will follow him and act as a bodyguard.

The small Yongfang is not far from the small hour, the carriage soon drove to the door of the Fei house, and the concierge of the Fei family saw the "double uncle" coming to the door, and immediately opened the door enthusiastically to welcome in.

"Steward Zhou, has Master Fei returned home?" Xu Jin followed the housekeeper Heng into the house, asking as he asked.

Due to the busy schedule of cabinet affairs, the four elders of the cabinet generally leave work later than other officials, and sometimes even work overtime until late at night.

Steward Zhou replied: "The master just came back, went back to the backyard to change clothes, and the second young master greeted visitors in the living room. ”

Xu Jin couldn't help asking, "What guest is visiting?" ”

Steward Zhou said with a smile: "Young Master used to be a classmate in Xinjiang Shu County, and it is estimated that Master Xu also knew him. ”

Xu Jin's heart moved, and when he entered the living room, he found that the visitor was indeed Cai Yue and Li Yingjun, a pair of good "engine oil", and Fei Maozhong was chatting with them at this time.

"Ziqian is here!" When Fei Maozhong saw Xu Jin, he immediately stood up happily, and Cai Yue and Li Yingjun also hurriedly stood up to say hello.

It is said that this year is the year of the township examination, so last year Fei Maoxian did not follow the Fei family brigade into Beijing, but continued to stay in the lead mountain Ehu Academy to study, if the township examination in August this year is the middle lift, then will enter Beijing to participate in next year's spring competition.

"Brother Yuanhao and Brother Ziyu are also here, that's a coincidence!" Xu Jin smiled and sat down at the coffee table, and his own subordinates served fragrant tea.

Li Yingjun said with a smile: "It's really a coincidence, Brother Yuanhao and I originally planned to come to the door tomorrow to say goodbye and thank Ziqian, thanks to Ziqian's help and care during this time." ”

Xu Jin's heart moved and asked, "Brother Ziyu and Brother Yuanhao are planning to leave the capital?" ”

Li Yingjun nodded and said: "After staying in the capital for two months, it's time to leave, taking advantage of the fact that it's just summer, and the weather is not too hot, just hurry to Datong." ”

"Oh, when are you going to leave?"

"I'm afraid Lu Yin won't be able to get it until the day after tomorrow, and we plan to leave Beijing the day after tomorrow."

Xu Jin nodded and said, "Okay, then the afternoon after tomorrow, I will set up a banquet in Jiuxian Mansion for the two classmates to practice, and the people will also participate together!" ”

Fei Maozhong nodded and said, "I want to do what I want!" ”

Cai Yue and Li Yingjun glanced at each other and said gratefully: "Then we will thank Brother Ziqian for his kindness first." ”

Xu Jin smiled and said, "By the way, Brother Yuanhao and Brother Ziyu traveled all the way west to Hami, they should pass through Suzhou, right?" ”

Cai Yue nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Xu Jin said: "That's right, I have a year named Huang Dacan, the expression is not cloudy, last year he was sent to Suzhou as a judge, and then trouble the two of them to bring a letter along the way, if you encounter any difficulties in the local area, you can also ask him for help." ”

Cai Yue and Li Yingjun couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard this, although they had romantic feelings for the pursuit of poetry and distant places, but they ran to the dangerous place on the border, and they were not familiar with the place, so it was impossible to say that they were not worried at all, especially in Suzhou, a military fortress, if there were acquaintances to take care of it, it would be the best.

It is said that Suzhou in the Ming Dynasty belonged to the jurisdiction of Shaanxi Province and belonged to the forefront of the border, with the Hetao Plain occupied by the Tatars in the northeast and Hami occupied by the Turva in the northwest.

Fei Maozhong took a sip of tea and sighed: "It's been nearly a year since June last year, time flies so fast, I don't know if Brother Shaoyun is fine now, Suzhou is a bitter cold place." ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, the honest man Huang Dacan was not the most outstanding group of his friends in the same year, but he was the most down-to-earth one, with a thick and beautiful personality and a tough personality, this kind of person may succeed late, but he will definitely succeed, I only wish him a good time in Suzhou, and he can meet in his lifetime.

The four of them chatted about the two teas, and the maidservant Hongying walked out from behind the screen, and bowed to everyone and said, "The teacher asked Xu Gongzi to go to the study." ”

Xu Jin stood up and smiled: "I'll be with you for a while." ”

"Brother Ziqian, go quickly!" Cai Yue and Li Yingjun hurriedly said, envious in their hearts, I am afraid that only Ziqian can enter the house in Fei Ge's old house, and I heard that the emperor also gave marriage to Xu Ziqian for the two girls of the Fei family, which is really envious of others.

Fei Maozhong looked at Xu Jin and went to the back, but his face was worried, although he was not qualified to participate in the Chang Dynasty, but he had heard of what happened at today's court meeting, and Ziqian was estimated to be trained this time.

Xu Jin followed Hongying to the middle courtyard of the Fei Mansion, and couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive, he was Fei Hong's protégé, and he would soon become the son-in-law of the Fei family, the Fei family on his body was very deeply imprinted, and they were both prosperous and loss-oriented, and they should be an offensive and defensive alliance politically, but today's matter was not communicated to Fei Shi in advance, and it was inevitable that Fei Shi would be dissatisfied.

"Xu Gongzi, Sister Hongying!"

Xu Jin was a little distracted, and suddenly heard someone shouting to himself, and when he looked at it, he saw a pretty girl ring wearing a pink pinching vest standing in front of him, and it was Fei Jixiang's personal maid ring attendant.

"It turned out to be a book-maid!" Xu Jin nodded with a smile, his eyes subconsciously swept around, but he didn't see Fei Jixiang, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It is said that since the little emperor gave him a marriage, Xu Jin has not seen Fei Jixiang, and it is inevitable to be embarrassed if he sees it at this time.

The waiter carried a basket with five-colored silk threads in it, and said with a smile: "People can't afford to be called a girl, our girl is now in the West Cross Courtyard, do you want to see my uncle?" Giggle......"

Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat secretly, and Hongying stepped forward to twist the mouth of the servant, and said: "The skin of the little hooves is itchy, believe it or not, unscrew it down." ”

The waiter giggled and ran away with a basket, twisted his thin waist through the corridor, and walked briskly into the west courtyard.

In summer, the days are long and the nights are short, and even though it's already six o'clock in the afternoon, the sky is still bright. In the room of the West Courtyard, Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang were sitting side by side, doing needlework seriously, occasionally stopping to discuss how to get a needle.

Ancient women get married, generally make a whole set of wedding dresses by themselves, at this time Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang are preparing their wedding clothes, the wedding date has been set for the tenth day of August this year, there are four months, the time is a little tight, so the two women are busy doing needlework during this time.

At this time, the waiter walked in with a basket and said with a smile: "Two girls, the slave maid met Xu Gongzi in front just now. ”

Fei Ruyi raised her pretty face and said happily: "Really? ”

"Ouch!" Fei Jixiang snorted lightly, it turned out that the needle had pierced his finger, he took his finger into his mouth with a red face, and glanced at the white servant with dissatisfaction.

The waiter stuck out his tongue and said, "The maid just met Sister Hongying leading Xu Gongzi in the middle courtyard, and it is estimated that she went to the study to see the master, but Xu Gongzi didn't seem to be very happy. ”

"Why?" Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang said in unison, but after the latter finished speaking, Xia Fei's cheeks lowered, and he lowered his head embarrassedly, pretending to continue to do needlework as if nothing had happened.

The waiter shook his head and said, "The slave doesn't know very well. ”

The two girls suddenly became a little distracted, and after doing needlework for a while, Fei Jixiang stood up and said, "Third sister, it's not too early, little sister should go back over there." ”

Fei Ruyi's mind at this time was also on Ailang, so naturally he had no intention of continuing to do needlework, so he nodded and said, "It's okay!" ”

Fei Jixiang put a small and a half big red wedding dress back into the basket and covered it, and left the West Cross Courtyard with it.

"Into the painting, is the second brother back?" Fei Ruyi asked softly while putting down the needle and thread.

Irito replied: "Come back early, accompany the guests in the front living room!" ”

Fei Ruyi couldn't help but sigh a little disappointed.
