At one point the crowd was seated.

I had never seen Shangguan Yuanlong before this summer, and I was surprised that he would be invited to practice a small banquet today. Looking at others, Xie Xiao is a person who can't hide his thoughts. Although he didn't say anything, his expression was obvious. Xie Baili fought hard, but there was a sadness that could not be concealed in the gully between his brows.

"What's the matter?" she asked Yang Yue in a low voice.

Yang Yue explained it to her like this.

This summer, he said to himself: Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang Province, has a really good brain. The Japanese pirates are wandering along the coast, and the officials in the yamen must not be able to bear it. Let the monks of the Shaolin Temple go down the mountain to fight the Japanese pirates. This method is really wonderful.

"Xie Xiao has been out for three years, and it has been less than a month since he returned home. How can Mr. Xie be willing to leave him again." Yang Yue whispered to her.

"This is called the dilemma of loyalty and filial piety." Jin Xia sighed, "I think it's still my mother who knows righteousness."

Looking at the dishes on a table, no one of the elders touched the chopsticks. Naturally, the younger generation didn't dare to move the slightest. They didn't eat lunch this summer. They were so hungry that they were already hungry, and they could see but not eat. a great torture.

Xie Baili ordered his servant to pour wine, but Yang Chengwan couldn't drink, so he used tea instead.

"Today was originally for Yang Yue's two children this summer," Xie Baili raised his wine glass with a serious look, "but I just received a letter, the Japanese pirates in Zhejiang are fleeing, the people are displaced, Xiaoer and Xier's mentors please They went to Zhejiang to fight the Japanese together. My brother Shangguan and I have just discussed and let these two children go to Zhejiang…”

"Daddy!"

Xie Xiao did not expect that Xie Baili would agree, and he was pleasantly surprised.

Xie Baili glared at him: "How can you be so happy, you can't wait to stay away from home?"

"Dad, I didn't expect that you would really let me go to Zhejiang. Are you really willing?"

"Fighting against the Japanese is the righteousness of the country, not to mention the fact that the division has a life, so it shouldn't be violated." Xie Baili sighed, "Don't I know your temperament, even if I force you to stay at home, you will be uneasy, and you will be born sooner or later. If something goes wrong, I might as well let you out."

At this time, Shangguan Xi frowned and said, "What should I do to help with the affairs?"

"I've discussed it with your father, and we must come out to take care of the old guys again." Xie Baili laughed, "Although the arms and legs are not as good as they were back then, fortunately they can still move."

"Father..." Shangguan Xi looked at Shangguan Yuanlong with guilt on his face, "The help is complicated, I'm worried that you will be too laborious."

Shangguan Yuanlong smiled and said, "Daddy, I have been blessed at home for a few years now, it's time to exercise."

Xie Baili also smiled and said, "That's right, let's not go out of the mountains, but let these juniors take it lightly... You see, Brother Yang, these two children are well-behaved and very well behaved."

This summer and Yang Yue heard the praise and secretly laughed.

Yang Chengwan said with a smile, "That's fine, let them set off together tomorrow, and there will be someone to take care of on the way."

Hearing this, I felt a shudder in my heart this summer: there is still A Rui in the car, if she is traveling with Shangguanxi, in case she notices it, it's an incomprehensible thing, I'm afraid something will happen. She was thinking about how to shirk when she heard Xie Xiao speak.

"Uncle Yang, it's not that I refute your face. Although you can take care of your colleagues, Lu Yi is an official family. Now I heard that it has been promoted to the fourth rank. We are people in the rivers and lakes. It is really inconvenient to walk with him." Sha Xiuzhu has been rescued, but Xie Xiao always has a grudge against Lu Yi.

Shangguanxi also wondered: "The affairs of the help still need to be explained. At least it will take a day or two to leave. I'm afraid it won't be in time tomorrow."

Yang Chengwan smiled and said, "I just said it casually, don't mind, you just do what's cheap."

Hearing what they said, this summer just now heaved a sigh of relief.

After everything was settled, Xie Xiao wanted to go to Zhejiang, and he could fight against the Japanese with all the brothers and sisters. He was happy, drank a lot of wine, and said a lot of words to make Xie Baili happy.

Xie Baili knew that his son was deliberately saying nice things, but he also benefited a lot.

The father and son did not quarrel and bicker, and the others were much more relaxed. This meal was enjoyed by both the host and the host.

Xie Xiao and Xie Baili drank a lot and rested early after the dinner; Shangguanxi sent Shangguan Yuanlong back, and Yang Yue accompanied his father back to the house to rest.

This summer, because I was thinking about tomorrow's affairs, and because of Yang Chengwan's presence, I didn't dare to drink too much, so I only took two sips of snow wine. After the dinner, she went to the kitchen and asked people to ask for some clean food, and hurried out to the bamboo forest.

Walking through the bamboo forest with ease, she walked quickly into the bamboo house, and the moment Kankan walked into the door, she lightened her pace.

Inside the house, a lamp is like a bean, and it is so quiet.

A Rui was still lying on the bamboo bed as she left, not moving at all.

This summer's eyes fell on Lu Yi. He sat by the window, propped his elbows on his forehead, closed his eyes, seemed to be resting, and seemed to have fallen asleep...

"Sir?" she called tentatively.

Quietly, he didn't react, and the corners of his eyes and brows never moved.

She carefully put the food box on the table, biting her lip and looking at Lu Yi awkwardly: The food in the food box should be eaten while it's hot, but he looks tired, should I wake him up

The candlelight was weak, and before she knew it, she was already in front of Lu Yi, so close that she could even count how many eyelashes he had.

Suddenly, he slowly opened his eyes.

Eyes facing each other, close at hand.

"...Are you spying on me?" Probably because he just woke up, his voice was a little lazy.

This summer, he straightened up quickly and opened the distance between each other: "No... sire, I brought food, you can eat it while it's hot, it hurts your stomach when it's cold."

Lu Yi glanced at her: "It smells of alcohol, are you full at Xie's house?"

This summer, he pursed his lips with a guilty conscience: "Tonight was very happy, I just took two sips, and I didn't dare to drink too much when the boss was there."

Lu Yi got up, first glanced at A Rui on the bamboo bed, and when he saw that he was still the same, he stretched out lazily.

"It's all very happy..." He said in a bad tone, "Is there anything good?"

"Xie Xiao and Shangguanxi received a letter from their teacher asking them to go to Zhejiang to fight against the Japanese. The old man Xie also nodded. Xie Xiao was so happy that he said a lot of good things to the old man. All the good words were added, and the old man was too happy." Jin Xia laughed, "Then both of them drank too much."

Lu Yi squinted at her: "I think you're happy too?"

After carefully trying to figure out what Lu Yi said, he said sternly this summer, "No, I've been thinking about your lack of food. Although there is a smile on your face, I'm actually very anxious."

Knowing that what she said may not be the truth, but when she said it, Lu Yi still enjoyed it very much. After staring at her for a while, he finally couldn't help laughing.

Seeing this this summer, he also smiled, opened the food box, and gave him some food.

Lu Yi only took two bites. He seemed to remember something and asked, "Xie Xiao and the others, won't they be with us?"

"No, Hall Master Shangguan still has unsettled help, and they will probably have to leave for a day or two later."

Lu Yi didn't say anything.

Hearing the words of Hall Master Shangguan, A Rui on the bamboo bed was still in a coma, but his fingers trembled indiscernibly.

"What do you mean to Hall Master Shangguan..." Jin Xia tilted her head to look at Lu Yi and asked curiously, "Is there really nothing else on my mind?"

Lu Yi took a meatball with his chopsticks and stuffed it directly into her mouth. He frowned and asked, "What do you think I should think about her?"

This summer, I thought about it, chewed it while I thought, and analyzed it for him: "Although Shangguan Hall Master is from the Jianghu, but in terms of appearance and temperament, it is rare. It's a bit hypocritical."

"Am I being hypocritical?" Lu Yi frowned.

This summer, he hurried to appease him: "These meatballs are fried so fragrant, you can try it too... Sir, are you already engaged?"

"You think I'm like you."

Lu Yi choked her back in annoyance.

It seems that this topic is not suitable today, so I changed the topic interestingly this summer: "The route to Zhejiang is via Suzhou Prefecture to Jiaxing Prefecture..."

"No, go to Yixing first, and go from Yixing to Huzhou Prefecture." Lu Yi interrupted her.

I was stunned this summer: "Go to Yixing first?"

"Well, my grandmother is in Liyang, and I stopped by to see her old man."

"Oh... Understood, that humble post goes back to the city to arrange a carriage first."

**************************************************** ****************

The next day, after resigning from Yang Chengwan, Yang Yue was told about A Rui on the carriage this summer, but because Zhai Lanye's death was still hidden from Yang Yue, he did not dare to go into details. Severely injured.

Yang Yue was puzzled: "Why don't you hand over the person to Hall Master Shangguan and take him to Zhejiang for what?"

"He was poisoned by the Orientals, probably because Lord Lu wanted to wait for him to wake up and ask what happened." This summer replied vaguely, "Lord Lu is acting, there is no room for us to ask more."

Yang Yue was always at a loss, but he was horrified when he saw A Rui's unrecognizable appearance. Fortunately, he was used to his duty and didn't ask any more questions.

So all the way south, across the river, via Zhenjiang, then to Liyang, and two days later to Yixing.

In the past two days, Yang Yue changed the medicine for Ah Rui, and fed him some porridge soup intermittently.

Lu Yi's grandmother's family is a big family here. Standing outside this summer, looking at the blue tiles and white walls in front of him, he feels that most of the big families are underestimated. How can his family be regarded as a famous local family

After the little servant reported, there was a man who looked like a housekeeper rushing out, leading their group, together with the carriage, into the house. This summer, Yang Yue and Yang Yue were arranged to rest in a small courtyard, while Lu Yi went straight to the inner courtyard.

After resting here overnight, when preparing to go on the road, only this summer discovered that there were two more carriages, much more refined than the original ones.

"One of my cousins is going back to their hometown to visit the grave, so she happened to be with us." Lu Yi said lightly.

This summer was stunned: "Do you still have a cousin?"

"I didn't pop out of the cracks in the rocks. Naturally, I have a cousin."

Just as he was talking, a young girl came out with the help of the old mama, and there were two maids beside her.

"Big brother." She bowed to Lu Yi and said softly, "At the end of last year, the second brother brought rose dew and hosta powder to the sisters, saying that the big brother specially prepared it."

Lu Yi smiled and said: "It's not worth it... Come on, these two are the six-door catchers, Yuan Jinxia and Yang Yue, who are assisting me with my work this time, and they will walk along the way. They all carry knives with them. , don't be alarmed when you see it."

This summer, he glanced at the Pu Dao on his body and remained silent.
