The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 308 Magnificent
"Susu, you might as well guess."

Chen Yuqi played tricks and was waiting for Lin Zisu to guess.

Xie Xi said first, "Susu, in the carriage behind is Xu Wentao's younger sister, Xu Fangruo, and you have seen her before."

The mystery was solved by Xie Xi so quickly, Chen Yuqi stomped her feet angrily, and said in a hateful voice: "Susu, look at this one of yours!"

Lin Zisu comforted Chen Yuqi with a few words, but in her heart she thought of the little girl who cherished words like gold that she saw in the Zhuangzi of Princess Yong'an.

It is said that Xu Fangruo has always been out of the door and never in the second door. I have never heard that she has friendship with any noble daughter in Beijing.

Besides, Xie Xi and his gang are famous, how could Princess Yong'an feel relieved to let her daughter attend such a party?
The moment Lin Zisu thought about it, the carriage had already stopped at the gate of Zhuangzi, and Xu Fangruo got out of the carriage with the help of her maid.

Looking carefully, Xu Fangruo is dressed in plain clothes, and seems to be more quiet than a few months ago.

Xu Fangruo only went forward to greet Lin Zisu and Chen Yuqi, and then let Lin Zisu welcome her into Zhuangzi.

For Xu Fangruo's arrival, all the teenagers were even more surprised.

Most of them have played with Xu Wentao since childhood, and they all know that Xu Wentao's younger sister is the treasure of the Xu family.

Xu Wentao is still in the north, but Xie Xi actually brought this baby here for an autumn walk, not knowing what he intends to do.

On Xie Xi's Zhuangzi, there is no trace of the bleakness of autumn, but under the golden reflection, it looks magnificent.

There is a cloud in the Book of Rites, the moon of Jiqiu, and Huanghua in Ju.

Qian Hao, a great Confucian in this dynasty, recorded in "Jingnan Miscellaneous Notes" that in the Jingnan Garden, every Chongjiu, there are exotic flowers that compete with each other, which is called the chrysanthemum meeting.

Chrysanthemum is one of the four gentlemen of flowers, and it also has the meaning of auspiciousness and longevity.

In the Dayan Dynasty, no matter the dignitaries, or the wealthy businessmen, all had chrysanthemums.

Naturally, chrysanthemums are indispensable in Xie Xi's village, and they are specially cared for by gardeners on weekdays.

Knowing that Xie Xi was coming to Zhuangzi, the steward hurriedly ordered people to display all the chrysanthemums, firstly to welcome guests, and secondly to show merit.

In the front yard, more than a dozen pots of chrysanthemums are blooming against the screen wall, and the flowers are clustered together.

Chrysanthemums of different colors are dotted even in conspicuous places on some curved corridors.

Some teenagers heard that Lin Zisu was present today, and brought their younger sisters here, thinking of making friends with Lin Zisu.

Zhuangzi didn't have many maidservants, so the heavy responsibility of receiving female guests naturally fell on Lin Zisu.

While Lin Zisu was greeting the female guest, Xie Xi secretly pulled her aside and talked about today's events.

"Father is going to do a big event that will shock the government and the public. He is afraid that the people below will have unreasonable thoughts. Hearing that I have invited someone, let me play a play for him. No, Yang Xingyao, and the Xu family That girl is all my father's pawns. In order to set up this game, my father called me and Aunt Yong'an to the palace early in the morning."

Although Xie Xi's words were vague, Lin Zisu still understood the general idea.

It seems that the emperor is going to make a big move, and it should be in the north.

The Dian Palace has guarded the southwest for generations, and Jiannan and Diannan are all under its control.

And Xu Wentao's ancestor was Dayan's founding commander, following Taizu's conquests and wars in the north and south, he made great achievements in the world.

Although the Xu family is not as prominent as it was back then, Xu Wentao's father, Concubine Xu, is still in charge of the commander of the Twelve Guards of the pro-army.

These two families have never been wooed by others in the court, but this time they came together with Xie Xi.

It's okay for Princess Yong'an, after all, she and Xie Xi are aunts and nephews.

Yang Xingyao is the son of a feudal lord from other places, while Xie Xi is a newly promoted vassal king.

The two came together majestically, the significance of which is self-evident.

The emperor is trying to frighten the world. Anyone who wants to make a move in the government will have to weigh one or two.

"Is Your Majesty going to send troops to the Northern Expedition?"

Lin Zisu thought for a moment, and realized that this answer was the most reliable.

She was waiting for Xie Xi's answer, but Xie Xi shook his head with a smile, and said, "Father Huang Xiong is a general, how can we guess it right?"

Lin Zisu knew that such important military and state affairs involved secrets, Xie Xi couldn't say more, so she changed the subject immediately and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty is very talented, how come fourth brother didn't learn anything?"

Xie Xi took a step closer to Lin Zisu, looked at Lin Zisu with burning eyes, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, a son is not like a father, and there is a father who shields us from the wind and rain. From now on, you can just eat, drink and have fun with me at ease."

The two chatted a few words casually, a young man poked his head out not far away, looked in Xie Xi's direction, and retracted his head again.

Lin Zisu saw it, pointed to the place where the boy was haunted, and said, "Fourth Brother, it seems that someone is looking for you over there."

Xie Xi shook his head and said with a smile: "That kid Liang Mingtai must have provoked everyone's anger. It's better to let him suffer a little bit, so that he won't be looked down upon all day long."

Even though Xie Xi said so, he hurriedly followed the boy to the front yard.

The teenagers who had been drinking in the flower hall just now gathered in the courtyard, bustling like a market.

Xie Xi separated from the crowd, and saw Liang Mingtai fighting with a young man, pulling each other and rolling on the ground.

A group of other people gathered around, pointing and pointing with a smile, or trying to persuade them, but no one stepped forward to pull the two of them apart.

Without further ado, Xie Xi leaned forward, grabbed one person's collar with both hands, and then stood up.

The two people who were fighting didn't know what was going on, they felt their bodies soaring into the air, and in shock and anger, the hands that were holding each other's clothes suddenly let go.

Xie Xi threw the two of them to the ground heavily, and shouted: "Liang Mingtai, Dou Qiming, if you want to fight, I have plenty of weapons and places in my village, and you can do whatever you want. You go on and on like this, like those rascals on the street What's the difference?"

Liang Mingtai was thrown so badly that he was about to yell, but when he heard Xie Xi's voice, he immediately swallowed back the words he wanted to say.

He struggled to stand up, pointed at the young man who had fought with him just now, and said in a hateful voice: "Dou Qiming, let's find a place to fight again, I will never die with you!"

The boy who fought with Liang Mingtai just now was named Dou Qiming, and his father was only a mid-level general in the Beijing camp.

Because the ancestors of the Dou family were the generals of the Xu family, for hundreds of years, the Dou family has always regarded themselves as the generals of the Xu family.

In Dou Qiming's generation, Dou Qiming and Xu Wentao became friends, and they even defended the Xu family.

Just now at the banquet, when he heard that Liang Mingtai kept belittling Xu Wentao, he was immediately furious.

He first argued with Liang Mingtai for a few words, and felt uncomfortable, so he started to fight.

With Xie Xi present, Dou Qiming did not dare to speak rudely like Liang Mingtai, and immediately lowered his head and said, "Fourth Brother, Liang Shizi has been belittling Brother Xu just now. banquet."
