Wishful Things

Big Bird stretched his neck and watched the girl fall into the wall in a supervisory manner, then walked towards the dog hole with reassuring and satisfied steps.

Seeing it in his eyes, Wu Chao couldn't help being puzzled—if he didn't understand, he asked, where did he come from to supervise the girl's return to the house on time?

And Big Bird looked back at him before he got into the dog hole.

This look made the young man feel that he had instantly become the prodigal son in the eyes of the housekeeper who lured the ignorant girl out of the house late at night.

The sense of substitution is so strong that I can't help but feel a little ashamed.

Following Ah Zhu climbing over the wall, Xiao Qi led the horse and came over.

Seeing his son standing there looking at the back door of Duke Zhen's mansion, Xiao Qi sighed in his heart.

Hey, when will you be able to marry Miss Xu back home, and when will you not have to experience the sadness of being unable to live under the same roof as a family of three...

When Xu Mingyi brought Ah Zhu back to Xiyuan, he realized that someone was still waiting for her to come back.

In the hall, Xu Mingshi was sitting in the chair, when he saw the girl come in, he put down the white porcelain teacup with red crane pattern in his hand with a "bang".

Xu Mingyi's eyelids twitched.

The attitude of the old lady who is in charge when she sees the girl at home coming home late...

Could it be that there is another sentence next--

"Where did you go? Why did you come back at such an hour?"

Xu Mingyi raised his eyebrows.

Well, there is no difference in a word.

"Talk about something with Wu Shisun, I'm late now." She went to the chair and sat down, took a few mouthfuls of tea from A Li.

"..." Xu Mingshi's heart skipped a beat - could such words be said so bluntly in front of servants?

However, when he looked at this and that, none of the maids in the hall showed a strange expression, and they were all so calm that they could be called too calm, co-authoring... Did you know this?

Or is it that all the servants in Xiyuan are well-educated and well-informed, and they have long been accustomed to Xu Mingyi's astonishing speech, is he making a fuss?

"I'm going to leave tomorrow, why don't you rest earlier?" Xu Mingyi put down the teacup and asked, "I'm waiting here for my return, but what's the matter?"

"You still know that I'm leaving tomorrow." The boy frowned slightly and asked her, "Why didn't you discuss it with me, and made up your mind for me?"

Xu Mingyi was startled: "Didn't father discuss it with you?"

After discussing this matter with her father yesterday, she asked her father to find her second uncle and discuss it with Mingshi, and if it was agreed upon, she would ask the emperor about it——

"No." Xu Mingshi still frowned: "Father just told me, and tell me, it's your decision."

Xu Mingyi couldn't help but remain silent.

Why did her father's inconsistent behavior make her feel like "using the name of a bully to suppress innocent people and not giving them the slightest chance to speak up and refuse"?

In order to save trouble, my father is really good enough...

"It's because my father misunderstood me, and he really wanted to discuss it with you." Xu Mingyi looked at the boy whose jaw was slightly tense, and asked, "But don't you want to go?"

Xu Mingshi immediately said: "Of course not."

Grandpa had such a big incident, as a junior, he naturally wanted to go there both emotionally and rationally.

Grandfather did not fall ill but was poisoned, Xu Mingyi did not hide this from him.

Xu Mingyi looked at him.

It's not that I don't want to go.

So...do you feel that there is a lack of a "negotiation" process, and you want a sense of ceremony?

After all, the child is getting older, and perhaps it is more important to be respected.

Then she will make up one on the spot.

Xu Mingyi thinks that this sister is doing quite well, "Why?"

Facing her eyes full of deliberation, Xu Mingshi's expression softened a little, but the tense look just now was not a sign of losing his temper, he just...

"Why did you arrange for me and my second uncle to leave Beijing, but you didn't go by yourself?"

She clearly likes to be the first in everything, not to mention that something happened to her grandfather, the anxiety and worry in her heart must be no less than anyone else.

"Me." Xu Mingyi asked back: "I want to go too, but how can I be separated from my family's affairs?"

Hearing this reason, the corner of Xu Mingshi's mouth twitched.

However, if you think about it carefully, you have to admit that this is indeed the truth.

During the time when grandfather was away, everything in the house was supported by her father, mother and her, especially her—the antidote secretly sent out by Uncle Yun a few days ago, it could not be dropped from the sky just by sitting at home. down.

Now, apart from his grandfather's safety, what he cares most about is: "Will the capital be in danger?"

Xu Mingyi did not deny it: "Nowadays, no place is really safe. Tomorrow, you should know who the biggest enemy of our Xu family is now?"

Xu Mingshi nodded.

Is the current emperor.

That's why he was worried about whether she would encounter any danger if she stayed in the capital with her parents.

"Since you know who it is, you should also understand what kind of situation the family is facing today."

Xu Mingyi looked at the boy whose childishness had gradually faded from his brows and eyes, and said, "Grandfather is now in a coma and is in danger. At this time, the imperial court sent an imperial envoy to go there, and the intention is obviously not pure. If something really happens, you will be needed to protect him." The grandson of the Duke's Mansion came to stabilize the morale of the army and stabilize the situation—”

Peace of mind?

Stabilize the situation?

Xu Mingshi felt guilty when he heard it, could he do such a big thing?

"Besides, you and your second uncle are going to Dongyuan. The journey may not be peaceful, so you need to be more careful." Xu Mingyi said warmly: "But at this time, grandfather and Xu Jiajun need you, and don't you always say that you want to experience it?"

When a child is away from home for the first time, they always need some encouragement.

And her family needs to be needed in Mingshi.

Xu Mingshi was already shaken, "But you are in the capital..."

"Don't worry, Beijing is more or less more stable than the outside. In the final analysis, what the emperor wants is the military power of Xu's army, and he dare not act rashly before he really gets it."

Xu Mingshi felt a little relieved when he heard it.

At this time, Xu Mingyi blinked at him, and there was a hint of a smile in his tone: "Mingshi, this time I will rely on you to protect me and my parents outside."

These words gave the boy strength and courage from the bottom of his heart, and the hesitation just now was swept away, replaced by a firm look: "Don't worry, I will definitely bring my grandfather back safely as soon as possible."

Whether it works or not, someone has to do it!

I think when my grandfather was at his age, there were already a group of beggars who could not eat enough to follow him. My grandfather was born in a poor family and could not read a few characters, and he had no relatives to help him. A big deal——

And he has studied for so many years, relying on his family status, he thinks he has a little bit of insight, and he said that the tiger father has no dogs, well, his father is more like a big orange cat... But his body As Xu Qiwei's grandson, no matter what, he can't be a waste!
