Huo Wenshu insisted on mourning and even stayed in the Zhao Mansion, sleeping in Zhao Xingwen's former house every morning and evening.
At this point, whether Huo Tianxiu wants it or not, Zhao Jiacheng doesn't admit it.
In the eyes of the people of Chang'an, Huo Wenshu was already Zhao Xingwen's widow.
Listening to Xu Wenlan's description of Huo Wenshu's current situation, Xia Chu felt her eyes heat up, and something was about to burst out of her eyes.
Xiao Mubai reached out to hold him in his arms and comforted him softly: "Tomorrow morning, we will go to the Zhao Mansion."
"Yes." Xia Chu responded softly, placing her hands on his shoulders, looking obedient and weak.
Seeing that the atmosphere was sluggish, Xu Wenlan pretended to be relaxed and teased Xia Chu: "Fortunately, I now know that you are a woman. If I had seen this scene before, I might have scared me away."
Xiao Mubai also knew his intentions, and it was rare that he didn't try to push him away. He glanced at Su Qian'an and Bingwen, and said to Xia Chu, "The deceased is gone, and he doesn't want you to mourn excessively for him."
Through the guidance of Xu Wenlan, Shi Zhongfei and Yin Guangbo during this period, Bingwen's ability to endure is much better than before.
Although being mentioned like this by Su Qian'an touched the pain in his heart, he had experienced this pain every day some time ago, unlike Xia Chu who deliberately kept it dusty and could not withstand manipulation.
At this moment, after hearing that Xu Wenlan and Xiao Mubai both spoke, they also opened their mouths to change the topic to Xia Chu: "What His Highness King Mo said is that Zhong Fei learned that you were going to have a meal at Mingxiang Garden, and he has been busy with this meal for a long time. , let’s go quickly.”
Xia Chu saw their concerned eyes falling on him, and didn't want to offend their kindness, so he managed a smile and nodded.
A sumptuous banquet had already been prepared in the flower hall, and Shi Zhongfei looked cheerful when he saw them, which really dispelled a lot of the haze they had been feeling along the way.
"If Yin Guangbo comes back later and sees the young master, he will be very excited." Shi Zhongfei said with a smile.
Among the four of them, only Yin Guangbo has never met Xia Chu until today. Every time he talks about this to them, his face is filled with regret.
Xia Chu followed Shi Zhongfei's words and asked Bingwen how the other three were doing in the court now.
Although Yin Guangbo was left in the capital by Xiao Zimu, he was not promoted. He did not know when the emperor would wake up, and he was afraid that if he was not in the right position, the emperor would think that he was overstepping his duties.
Therefore, Yin Guangbo only concurrently served as editor of the Hanlin Academy. In terms of rank, he was actually demoted.
Even so, anyone with a discerning eye knows that his situation is temporary, and no one dares to take him seriously and just treat him as an editor.
Speaking of the court, the atmosphere in the court became more relaxed. Although Concubine Li's palace change was a waste of people and money, and caused chaos on the border, it also indirectly sorted out all the officials of Xiao State, and all those disloyal officials were taken away. .
Today's morning dynasties, although there are tensions at times, are all benign political disagreements and arguments, and there is no longer the hypocrisy and adding insult to injury of the past.
Xiao Mubai listened to Xu Wenlan's analysis, but his eyes fell on Xia Chu's face, who was holding a glass of wine from time to time. Seeing that he had no intention of drinking to drown his sorrows, he felt a little relieved.
Xia Chu was not interested in court affairs, so he spent some food and brought a bottle of wine, and took Xian Li aside to whisper.
Xia Chu looked at Su Qianan, who was sitting next to Bingwen, and asked Xianli, "Are you sure?"
Xian Li nodded: "It's very similar. It can be said that it is. Although many years have passed, the scars of the seven-star series and the veins of the leaves originally printed on Zhu Cui are still vaguely distinguishable. It cannot be such a coincidence. It's just that He and Su Qianle..."
Xia Chu knew that Bingwen must have told Xian Li a long time ago about Su Qian'an's life experience mentioned in the letter.
Therefore, he said straight to the point: "He has no blood relationship with Su Qianle. He was adopted by the Su family back then. Mu Bai has already sent a letter to Lou Hongfang, trying to dig out the story of when Su Qian'an was adopted based on the old house where they lived. At that time, he wore a bronze medal."
Xia Chu paused for a moment and then continued: "If Mu Bai's inference is correct, that bronze medal is Su Qian'an's identity number when he joined the army, which can also prove his original identity."
Xian Li's eyes lit up. She initially looked at Bing Wen's letter. Although she was hopeful, she was afraid that it was a coincidence. However, the patterns painted in the letter were so similar that once the hope she had extinguished for many years was ignited, No matter what, I couldn't help but want to come over and take a look in person.
What she saw with her own eyes today had a huge impact on her.
When the scar appeared clearly before her eyes, scenes from her childhood came to mind.
Those memories did not fade with the passage of time, but because of those childhood happiness, they became the only pillar of her survival.
Therefore, the impression in her mind was particularly clear, so clear that when she saw the scar, she instantly recalled the time when she fell from a height when she was a child. Her brother Li Yan was underneath him, and the seven-star hairpin with beads on his bun was imprinted on him. The picture on the left chest.
The tears were uncontrollable and kept flowing. Xu Wenlan, who was walking back, saw her and mistakenly thought that Su Qian'an had bullied her.
Xia Chu saw that the light in her eyes was fleeting and dimmed in an instant. He handed her the wine bottle in his hand and asked, "What? Don't you want to recognize him?"
Xian Li took the jug and took a long sip before stopping: "Let me think about it, not to mention whether the bronze medal can be found now is still unknown."
"Okay." Xia Chu sighed quietly, but in fact it didn't matter whether he could find the bronze medal or not.
Thinking about it, Xian Li didn't dare to tell him about his experiences over the years, and he was also worried about Su Qian'an's current identity.
Now Su Qian'an is following General Zhao, and has made great achievements in quelling the chaos this time. It is the time when he becomes famous at a young age. If his true identity is revealed now, how will he deal with it
Xia Chu patted her shoulder and gave her a smile to comfort her: "You don't need to worry too much. If you recognize him as your brother in your heart, you should know how to deal with it."
Xian Li gave him a respectful salute: "No matter what, I have to thank you for taking care of him."
Xia Chu hurriedly helped her up: "You're too outspoken, no matter Bingwen or Qian'an, you don't have to be so polite to me."
Xian Li didn't expect that he would suddenly mention Bingwen, and looked over involuntarily.
The flickering candlelight reflected a yellowish warmth in the flower hall, and also caused Bingwen's eyelashes to cast a shadow.
There was a smile on his lips, and he would whisper to Su Qian'an from time to time.
The two most important men in her life were laughing and drinking in front of her.
In Xian Li's heart, a kind of satisfaction that he had never felt before welled up.
