Han's mother got up early in the morning, borrowed a new cloth shirt from a neighbor's house and put it on, put on the clothes that her grandson had just mended yesterday, and put her daughter-in-law's cleaned up big on a basket of steamed buns and covered it with an old hand towel.

The daughter-in-law poured a bowl of tea with anticipation, Han's mother took it and drank it, and Han Laoqi handed over dozens of dollars. In this way, the old lady carried a bamboo basket in her left hand and her grandson in her right hand, and walked towards the capital step by step with the expectations of her family.

Happened to meet a team of knights on the official road, Han's mother looked at the person on the horse a little familiar, and was overjoyed when she saw a person, and beckoned: "Dongzi, Dongzi." ”

Xu Hao grabbed the reins casually, looked down at the old and the young in front of him, Li Dong saw this and said: "This is the old lady Han from the neighboring village, the old man once fostered her family for three days, and when she was a child, she had to send a New Year's gift with my father every year, and in recent years, there has been no contact." ”

Xu Hao hurriedly kicked off the horse and said, "Xu Hao has seen you old, who are you?" ”

Mother Han hurriedly wiped her eyes and exclaimed in surprise: "You, are you Brother Hao?" Oops, they're all adults, so I don't dare to admit them. ”

Xu Hao smiled: "Everyone grows up, and I am no exception, where are you going to go?" I'll send you. ”

Mother Han said embarrassedly: "Aren't you going to go to the house to disturb." Alas! I'm afraid you'll laugh when you say it. ”

Xu Hao understood, and said disapprehantly: "Don't say anything." Li Dong, you go to Huanggu Temple to pull out Baoqing's Biyou car, and let's go back to Beijing together. ”

At that moment, Han's mother was frightened and relieved to get into the carriage, and the little grandson looked at the exquisite decorations on the carriage curiously, and couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it.

Syllable! Mother Han slapped his little hand and warned, "Don't touch it, this bead is more precious than your life." ”

Xu Hao smiled when he heard this: "It's okay, I like to take it off and take it home." But it is indeed a valuable small object, you can buy a lot of snacks after selling it, don't be robbed by your friends. ”

Mother Han smiled: "At first glance, you are a child who hurts." I haven't been to the house for some years, and now I have a few young masters? ”

Xu Hao smiled at this and said nothing, and then saw Baoqing running from the south in the lead, waving his hand and smiling: "Brother, I want to go to your house to play." ”

Baoqing, who was far away from Huanggu Temple, regained her true character as an obsessed girl, Xu Hao frowned and said: "Hurry up and get off the horse, look at your riding posture, you are not ladylike at all." ”

Baoqing stuck out his little tongue, tilted his head and said, "You come to help me." ”

Xu Hao had no choice but to walk over and put his hands around the girl's small waist. Effortlessly hugged it.

For Baoqing, who has watched him grow up little by little, Xu Hao is between his sister and daughter, in Baoqing, he can feel the bond between him and Zhu Yuanzhang, this special feeling can not be experienced by anyone in the royal family.

Mother Han in the car couldn't help but ask, "Is this fairy-like girl the daughter of your mansion?" ”

Li Dong whispered: "That's His Royal Highness Baoqing, the youngest princess of Emperor Gao. ”

"Oops!" Mother Han was taken aback, and hurriedly wanted to get out of the car and kowtow to the princess, but Li Dong stretched out his hand to stop and explained: "The young master and His Royal Highness are godbrothers and sisters, you should be polite." No need to bow down. In terms of seniority, you are still an elder. ”

"Where does the old body dare to be the elder of the golden branches and jade leaves? Amitabha, sins and sins. Having said that, Mother Han smiled very happily, and the Xu family did not treat her as an outsider. I couldn't help but be greatly moved.

Baoqing, who got into the car, looked curiously at the grandparents and grandchildren who looked cramped on the opposite side, and Xu Hao said: "I have something to do after entering the city, you accompany Grandma Han home." ”

At that moment, the convoy slowly set off, and Baoqing said to Gong E: "Take out my milk tea." For my grandmother and brother, and a new snack. ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Mother Han shook her hand in fear. "To be able to sit in His Highness's car, the old body is already an ancestor who burned high incense, which is a great disrespectful sin."

Baoqing said with a smile: "My ancestors are also from poor people, so you don't have to take it to heart." ”

Mother Han said movingly: "The princess is a kind-hearted person, she will definitely live a long life and marry a wishful husband." ”

Baoqing's smile gradually faded, glanced at Xu Hao who was riding a horse, and sighed lightly: "That's not necessarily, alas! ”

In the prison of the Criminal Department, Hu Desheng, who was agitated, was tricked out by Monk Zhiyun, and when he reacted, his hand scroll had already fallen into the dust, his body leaned back, and he sighed with a colorless face: "It's over!" ”

Suddenly, there was a screeching sound of tearing cloth, Zhiyun was startled, and all the newly pasted wax paper on the wall against the wooden collapse was broken, revealing a secret door.

Two people came out of the room, and in front of them were the knife and pen officials of the Criminal Department, holding an ink-drenched confession slip in their hands, which they had just written while listening to the conversation.

The person in the back is Wang Ji, this arrangement was discussed with Xu Hao, and he specially changed Hu Desheng's cell, and even Zhiyun was concealed.

Zhiyun realized in his heart, fixed his mind, picked up the handscroll on the ground and carried it in his arms, and Hu Desheng seemed to have passed out.

Wang Ji asked Zhiyun to help pull the person up, and used the futon and pillow to lean on him, only to see Hu Desheng let out a long breath, woke up leisurely, his eyes seemed to be open, and muttered: "It's really a cycle of retribution, and it is difficult to escape justice." ”

When he opened his eyes, Hu Desheng's whole person at this time was calm, and there was no fear of it, probably because he had already developed the will to die.

Wang Ji said: "Hu Desheng, what you said just now has been recorded word for word, and it was heard by the official himself, and he will be honored with Lord Ming Shangshu when he is young." If you're a sensible person, I don't need to say anything more. ”

Hu Desheng's face was bloodless, and he sighed: "When I pass the hall, I will confess everything." A hero does things by himself, and I do it from beginning to end, and it has nothing to do with my brother-in-law and others. ”

Half an hour later, Xu Hao rushed to the Criminal Department, and this inexplicable case could finally be closed. Wang Ji in the house sent everyone away, and said in embarrassment: "Zheng Shangshu means that this is the end, how about the governor?" ”

Xu Hao nodded and said, "That's it." ”

Wang Ji said in surprise: "You really don't plan to pursue it?" Let go of the behind-the-scenes? ”

Xu Hao still nodded, got up expressionlessly and walked to Wang Ji's side, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and then left.

In the Qianshoutang of Xufu, the old lady asked with a smile: "The old man can come by himself, what can he take?" ”

Mother Han said with a smile: "It's nothing good, it's just the poor people's poor meaning." In order for the old lady to eat softly, she took a chicken and brought a little bread to her brothers and sisters. ”

The old lady smiled and asked the girls, "What about my brother and sister?" Call it now. ”

Yuelan agreed and went out, and after a while, she heard the footsteps of people running, the bead curtain was lifted by the maid, Yuelan led Xu Ye and Zhang Lianyi, and Zhulan held Xiao Yezi's little hand.

Lao Taijun explained: "The other brothers and sisters are all by Lao Tzu's mother's side, they are still young, and they don't cry and make trouble. This is your godson's grandson, and that's your granddaughter. ”

"Oops!" Mother Han hurriedly looked at the two children carefully, one was wearing a white jade crown, the other was wearing a jade forehead, and she was also wearing a golden hundred butterfly satin with big red arrow sleeves; One has red lips and white teeth, and the other has picturesque eyebrows, like a pair of golden boys and girls.

Mother Han took Xu Ye's hand, called her heart and liver baby in her mouth, hugged her arms and asked this and that, her grandson looked at Zhang Lianyi on the left and Xiao Yezi on the right curiously, and was stunned for a while, and even forgot to eat half of the chicken leg in her hand.

At this moment, there was a sudden bang, as if something had fallen from the top of her head, Mother Han was not surprised, and shouted out for a while, pushing Xu Ye down and standing up in a hurry.

Looking up, it is a painted vertical box nailed on the wall, the face is inlaid with glass, the inside is like a round grinding plate, the weighing stone hanging below falls down, and the box is tinkling and dingdong, like the monk in the Niangniang temple ringing the bell, ringing more than ten times in a row.

It has been less than three years since the clock born in Liaodong came out, and Han's mother naturally had never heard of it, and her face changed color in fright. Xu Ye laughed funny, and Ripple and Xiao Yezi also laughed.

I don't want the old lady to shout: "There is no rule, the old man has never seen it, how can he not be surprised when he encounters it?" What's so funny about that? ”

Xu Ye hurriedly closed his mouth, standing with his hands tied up in a proper manner, but Ripples ate and chuckled without scruples, the old lady has always had nothing to do with his great-granddaughter, and he was helpless when he saw this.

The bell rang eleven, and when it was time for lunch, the men below put the food on the table. The old lady instructed: "Yuelan, you accompany the old lady to your house to eat, people here are afraid that she is not used to it." ”

Yuelan smiled and agreed, leading the grandparents and grandchildren around the screen to their own house, where the old lady took her grandchildren to eat.

During the banquet, the ripples didn't like to eat meat, and they were all put in Xu Ye's small bowl, the old lady shook his head when he saw this, looked at Xiao Yezi filial piety and picked up vegetables for himself, and said with a smile: "It's still Ye'er who feels sorry for me, unlike those two little things who have no conscience, who only know intimacy all day long." ”

Ripple said coquettishly: "You have so many people serving, my brother is just a small leaf, I don't feel sorry for him, who cares?" ”

The old lady smiled: "Then you have to blame your uncle, who asked him to stop the girl." ”

Ripple blinked and said: "Uncle said that daughters have to be pampered, and there are many girls around them who will not be lonely, and men have to learn to support themselves, and they should not be mixed with women since they were young, so that they can be a useful person, I think it is very right, and my uncle's words will not be wrong." ”

The old lady looked at her serious tone at a young age, and laughed: "No wonder your uncle spoils you the most, you can talk at such a young age, and your aunts were not as good as you when they were young." It's also a strange thing, your father is always loyal, and your mother is also an honest person, how did she give birth to such a beautiful girl. ”

Ripple tilted his head and said, "Uncle said that I am like an aunt, and I like my aunt the most, but unfortunately she is not in the capital." ”

The old lady sighed and said, "Isn't your father not in Beijing, your uncles are all military generals, and this man has ambitions in all directions." The holiday is coming soon, and I don't know if the children will come back for a reunion this year. (To be continued......)
