Chapter 156
Since ancient times, there has been a dilemma between loyalty and filial piety. Men have neglected their families for the sake of their careers. No matter whether it is modern or ancient times, it is obvious that Nangong Mo chose career.

Compared with Xia Lingkang, he is slightly inferior.

Zhao Yishuang followed Xia Lingkang back home, taking care of her in every possible way.

Although he also has bad intentions, generally speaking, he still has good intentions towards Zhao Yishuang, who has lost his memory. purpose only.

Xia Lingkang, on the other hand, has the heart of revenge, but does great deeds.

Therefore, she would always unconsciously think of those interesting things recorded by Zhao Yishuang.

Speaking of their return to Xia's residence, the first person Zhao Yishuang met was Mrs. Xia.

……

Bypassing a luxuriant bamboo grove and passing the water path, Zhao Yishuang stepped into a big house, surrounded by a large area of ​​water, full of blue waves, and the sun coated it with a layer of gold, making it dazzling.

The maids laughed and entered the room, and a beautiful woman greeted her. She was dressed in a dark red dress with big peonies, covered with a white gauze, tightly sealed at the neckline, and decorated with gold silk patterns on the cuffs. She was decent and generous. No less luxury.Although there are fine lines in the corners of her eyes, she is still young and beautiful. When you look closely at those eyes and brows, she looks like a person... Zhao Yishuang was nervous and couldn't remember it. He just listened to the obedient salutes of the maids, and said: "Ma'am, this servant has brought you someone."

Zhao Yishuang suddenly realized that she was Xia Lingkang's mother, otherwise how could she be so similar.

Zhao Yishuang saluted awkwardly, originally wanted to call her Grandma Shi, but she was also enthusiastic, she came up and grabbed her arm, and began to look at her carefully.It's just that Mrs. Xia stared at Zhao Yishuang with burning eyes, making Zhao Yishuang a little uncomfortable, and she took the lead before saying anything, "What a good girl, what a good boy!"

Hearing this, Zhao Yishuang couldn't even raise his head, and quickly retracted his head into his clothes.She understands that these are words of praise. On the way, she heard Xia Lingkang pointing at a few girls and saying...

"What is the girl's name? Where does she live? How many people are in the family? Are her parents still alive?..." If it weren't for those slaves worshiping her, Zhao Yishuang would have thought Mrs. Xia had also lost her memory. The little brother who reported the letter just now would have said that Why do you still have to ask her identity?

At the same time, she also understood why Xia Lingkang would be so nagging. It turned out that she had inherited Mrs. Xia's temperament. She asked Zhao Yishuang a lot in one breath. She was at a loss and blushed. She replied, "My name is Zhao Yishuang There is only one master."

Mrs. Xia had a little regret on her face, but it was fleeting. She took Zhao Yishuang to the table and sat down. The maids quickly served tea. Jasmine tea, this tea soothes the liver and eyesight, moisturizes the skin and nourishes the skin, it is suitable for people of Mrs. Xia's age.

Zhao Yishuang did not forget to thank her after drinking it, and then praised, "Good tea, Madam, taking it for a long time will definitely make your face stay beautiful, but the spicy fragrance of jasmine is warmer, and it is hot and full of heat, so those who suffer from dryness and constipation should eat carefully." Zhao Yishuang blurted out, and the tea in his mind Some things flashed by, and they disappeared before she could catch them. She couldn't help frowning and fell into deep thought, while the smile on Mrs. Xia's face increased more and more.

Didn't she lose her memory?How can you remember these?

"Ma'am, the new clothes you asked Nanny Zhang to rush to make are ready." A servant girl came to report, and Mrs. Xia asked her to bring it. Do not pour her down.

Mrs. Xia asked Zhao Yishuang to change her clothes, and then she regained her composure. Zhao Yishuang changed her clothes in a daze. For decoration, there are a little red plum blossoms, but only on the skirt corners and neckline. There are folded transparent white gauze inside the cuffs, which is soft to the touch and comfortable.

And Zhao Yishuangquan thought that she was treating her apprentice kindly for Xia Lingkang's sake, which was very useful.

Mrs. Xia chatted with Zhao Yishuang for a long time, but she was the one talking most of the time. She no longer asked about Zhao Yishuang, but only talked about how Xia Lingkang was when he was young. I miss him very much every day, afraid that he will not be able to eat and sleep well, so I leave a last sentence, "I feel at ease when I see you."

Such a meaningful sentence, Zhao Yishuang was innocent, thinking of the dangers she had resolved for him along the way, he nodded yes.

Mrs. Xia smiled, tilted her head and looked out of the window, and said: "Master should be back, you follow me to see him, I miss my child too."

To be honest, Zhao Yishuang also misses her master. Although Mrs. Xia has a gentle temper, she is just a stranger to her at present. Although she doesn't remember Xia Lingkang, she has spent some time with him, so she needs to get closer.

However, when Mrs. Xia met Xia Lingkang's mother and son, the scene got a little out of control. The maidservants who followed Mrs. Xia all had red eyes, and Mr. Xia was also uncomfortable. He was originally a round and fat man, but when he endured it, the flesh on his face also trembled towering.

Xia Lingkang was missed by his family when he went out, and when he came back, he was greeted by his family, but what about her... Zhao Yi lowered his eyes, and sadness welled up in his heart, because of himself.

She has nothing.

At the dinner, Zhao Yishuang sat next to Xia Lingkang, and he introduced his family to her in a low voice.

Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Xia were seated. She was Mrs. Xia’s main wife, He Shi, and she had a son, Xia Lingkang. Mrs. Xia had two beautiful female relatives, who were Mrs. Xia’s concubines. Shi, she had a vicissitudes of life, Xia Lingkang called her Erniang, because he had an elder brother Xia Lingzheng who was born to Zhang Shi.

The one in the orange dress is Li Shi, and the two juicy maids beside her are Xia Lingkang's younger sister, born of Li Shi, and they all inherit her advantages in appearance, beautiful and charming.But the two of them always snickered at Zhao Yishuang, their dark eyeballs rolling, maybe they were thinking of some bad idea, and they both inherited Master Xia's ruffian spirit?
Zhao Yishuang curled her lips, picked up the cup on the table, and drank it up, but she didn't know it was wine, she only felt the fragrance and sweetness, and she was greedy for a while, and the banquet was only halfway through, and she became a little drunk.

"Hey, good boy, you should drink less." Xia Lingkang noticed, and bumped Zhao Yishuang with her elbow. She couldn't stop smiling, and said it was all right.Her cheeks were stained red by the smell of alcohol, her eyes were in chaos, and she fell weightlessly towards Xia Lingkang, who frantically protected her. This series of actions, in Madam Xia's eyes, was the ambiguity between men and women. Announced, "Today my son came back and brought back a lady. Today, I will make the decision here to make the marriage of the two!"

"What! Mom, don't talk nonsense! Yishuang is my apprentice!" Xia Lingkang was impatient, pushed Zhao Yishuang away and stood up to retort, but Zhao Yishuang fell on Xia Lingzheng. It was an emergency, and he didn't care about etiquette, so he did it himself Zhao Yi returned to the table and lay down on his back. The gentle and elegant man was in stark contrast to Xia Lingkang.

Mrs. Xia knew her son well, thought he was joking with her, and Xia Lingkang couldn't explain why, so Zhao Yishuang woke up slowly under the affectionate call of her master.

She was in a daze, but only heard Xia Lingkang say: "Yishuang, wake up quickly and save me as a teacher..."

Fearing that he might be in danger again, Zhao Yishuang woke up from the chaos, but when she put on a kung fu posture, all the good dishes on the table were knocked over.Immediately, the surroundings were completely silent, and a gust of cool wind blew in, finally making Zhao Yishuang more awake. Seeing that there was a little bit of surprise on the faces of the people in front of her, she retracted her arms in embarrassment.

This is not a rivers and lakes, people with martial arts, I am afraid they will be regarded as different.What's more, she also knocked over a table of good dishes...

Finally, Mrs. Xia felt sorry for her new daughter-in-law, so she uttered a word to resolve it, but Xia Lingkang held on to Zhao Yishuang, saying, "Quickly explain to my mother, Yishuang, you are not the wife I brought back..."

Now Zhao Yishuang was stunned, and when she turned the corner, her fair little face became more and more crimson, she shook off Xia Lingkang's hand, and continued silently, how could she speak about such things!Recalling Mrs. Xia's kind treatment, she became even more shy. It turned out that she had mistaken her for her daughter-in-law!

Xia Lingkang was so anxious that Mrs. Xia scolded her son instead, "Ah Fu said today that you brought back a daughter-in-law. I was so happy for my mother. I called him back when your father was out talking about business, just to see this Daughter-in-law, it's good at the moment, but you don't recognize it! Where can you put other girls' faces!"

This matter became more and more outrageous, and the situation was serious. Zhao Yishuang glared at Xia Lingkang fiercely before explaining, but when she opened her mouth, she realized that her voice was trembling, "Grandma, you misunderstood! The master I said is Your dear son!"

After Zhao Yishuang's speech, the whole scene fell silent again. Mrs. Xia uttered a few unsound words with trembling hands, and then slumped on the chair. Fortunately, Mr. Xia held the scene, and hurriedly said: "Bad boy! What is the truth? Don’t tell me quickly!”

For Xia Lingkang's grievance, he said what he said before with a bitter face, and then he turned his anger on others, pointed at the servants present and shouted: "Who is it! Who said that my master brought a lady back! Who is it! I've only been out for a few years, and I don't think much of me! How can you talk nonsense!?"

It was the first time Zhao Yishuang saw Xia Lingkang get angry, although he was not afraid, but he realized one thing from his words: where there are people, there are right and wrong, people's words are scary!
"Master, Yishuang has brought you tea." Zhao Yishuang respectfully knelt down in front of Master Xia, raising his cup with both hands above his head.Master Xia didn't know whether he drank too much wine or was happy, his round face was red, or maybe both.He squinted his eyes, like a Maitreya Buddha, took Zhao Yishuang's tea and said hello repeatedly.

As for Mrs. Xia, there are mixed joys and sorrows. Xia Lingkang is nearly [-] years old, and the sons of other families have already gathered wives and concubines. Naturally, she also longs for a full house of children and grandchildren. Now that he has returned from school and brought an apprentice, he should be happy, but the marriage has fallen behind again. .Now that the daughter-in-law can't drink the tea, but she drank the disciple's tea first, Madam Xia really has mixed feelings in her heart.

A table banquet, a farce, the one who impressed Zhao Yishuang the most was Xia Lingzheng. When Xia Lingkang was in a rage, he came out to smooth things over, saying that there were too many people and misinformation, how could the servants have the calmness to be a master? There is no reason to be wrong when you are happy and excited.

Now that the words have come to this point, how dare Xia Lingkang refuse to accept it. At that time, the audience was completely silent, and he was the only one who was screaming, so he didn't look like a master at all.He had no choice but to go down the steps, but with a look of disdain still on his face, he retorted, "Today, I'm doing it for my brother's sake. If it's like this next time, don't blame me for showing the behavior that a master should have." shelf!"

Everyone said yes, Xia Lingkang gave Zhao Yishuang a wink triumphantly, and then sat down with his arms around her shoulders, but her eyes followed Xia Lingzheng. Zhao Yishuang in the room felt like a spring breeze, not to mention the servant who seemed to be a child.

Previously, Zhao Yishuang felt that Xia Lingkang looked like a god, but he didn't have the heart of a bodhisattva, he was really different from the outside.Seeing Xia Ling now, he has realized that in terms of appearance, he is different from Xia Lingkang, Xia Lingkang is more like Mrs. Xia, so he has the feminine beauty of a woman.On the other hand, Xia Ling was seven feet tall, and his wheat-colored skin was more masculine, his long and narrow phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and his sharp lips always kept a smile, making him more amiable.

Such an elegant demeanor is exactly what a young master should have.

"Yi Shuang Yi Shuang, quickly serve tea to my mother, what are you doing in a daze?!" Xia Lingkang hurriedly pulled Zhao Yi Shuang's sleeve, pulling her back from her thoughts.Looking back and seeing Xia Lingkang, she was disgusted from her heart, and couldn't help complaining, how did she get such a master, what crime did she do, how did she get such a master! !

Although he hates it, he still has to observe the etiquette that should be observed. Zhao Yishuang snorted softly, turned his head and offered tea to Mrs. Xia. Mrs. Xia was always uncomfortable, but she took care of her face and forced her to drink the tea with a smile, feeling very regretful in her heart.

After the ceremony, Zhao Yishuang stood up carefully holding the hem of the skirt, fearing that it would be damaged or wrinkled, thinking about returning the dress to Mrs. Xia later, she had misunderstood that the dress was supposed to be for her daughter-in-law, and now she put it on her It must be a pity for this little boy.

However, just as she got up, Xia Lingkang pushed her down fiercely. Fortunately, she had the kung fu foundation and turned around to stand upright opposite him, but she did not forget to hold the corner of her skirt, and asked with a frown, "Master, what is this?" ?”

She slipped away from his hand like a fish, Xia Lingkang shook his hand in embarrassment, then attached himself behind him, and said solemnly: "There are other elders in Wei Shi's family, how can Yi Shuang not worship?"

He turned sideways to give Zhao Yishuang a wide view. The banquet was full of people, and Xia Lingkang's two little girls covered their mouths and snickered again. 1 people are unwilling, but the teacher's order is hard to disobey, and what's more, he is justified...

"No need, Kang'er!" Mrs. Xia got up to stop her, with a serious expression, and the dinner suddenly fell silent.Zhao Yishuang saw Li yank off her daughter's clothes, their smiles stopped abruptly, and they only lowered their heads.Zhao Yishuang was overjoyed, and also saw Mrs. Xia's demeanor as a housewife. She gave an order, and even Xia Lingzheng stopped interjecting.

Xia Lingkang shrugged his shoulders to show that he was meaningless, and then hugged Zhao Yishuang tightly. Zhao Yishuang struggled secretly, but Xia Lingkang was indomitable.

Zhao Yishuang opened his hand, squinted and said: "Master, men and women can't kiss each other."

Xia Lingkang climbed onto her shoulder again, his long eyelashes flickering, "Yi Shuang's words made my teacher very sad. In the past, you liked being intimate with me the most."

Zhao Yishuang gritted his teeth and escaped sideways, "Master! This is unreasonable!"

Xia Lingkang kept pestering her, and she gradually smiled, "Yi Shuang's good apprentice is tired of standing as a teacher, let me rely on my teacher~"

Zhao Yishuang took a deep breath and sat firmly in front of the table, clenched his fists on his knees, and ignored him. He was finally called away by Mrs. Xia, and she relaxed a little. Now she dared not touch the wine again. Picked a few vegetarian dishes to eat.

Occasionally, her eyes would meet Xia Lingzheng, and he would just smile, gentle and courteous.

After the banquet was over, Master Xia asked Xia Ling to send Zhao Yishuang back to Lu Yuan, which is Mrs. Xia's garden, each house in Xia's family has its own garden, and they live with their children, Zhao Yishuang, his disciple, naturally wants to go there.

Zhao Yishuang has seen Mrs. Xia's Lu Garden, which can be called a paradise. In addition to the water pavilions, there are also various water pavilions, water pavilions, and colorful red and green corridors. The pearl, pink and tender like a Penglai fairy peach, is truly lovable.

When Xia Ling heard the news, he felt distressed at first, Master Xia only said: "I will send Zifeng off, you go quickly, and pay your respects to your aunt on the way, this time you have been away for quite some time."

Mrs. Zhang then nodded to him, Xia Lingzheng forced a smile, his jaw became more pointed, then bowed and said softly: "Yes, father."

Zifeng might be Zhang's name, Xia Ling was worrying about his mother, he was actually a filial son, Zhao Yishuang had a much better impression of him, seeing his sideways and didn't know how to avoid it, his big eyes were full of bright light.

Along the way there was a maid leading the way, the same girl in blue gauze and pink face, Xia Ling was speechless all the way, Zhao Yishuang was also a dull gourd, the originally quiet path seemed even more lonely, except for the sound of insects, the only sound was the soles of shoes rubbing against stones.

When they were approaching Lu Yuan, there were bright lights there, another maid greeted her and said something to the maid in blue, and she quickened her pace regardless of the rear, Zhao Yishuang only focused on following, without the light, she accidentally tripped over the vines, However, before she could do her best to avoid disaster, Xia Ling grabbed her wrist first, making her stand firmly.

"Miss, are you okay?" Xia Lingzheng's concern came from next to his ear, Zhao Yi's face became hot, and he asked again, before she replied, "It's okay, thank you uncle."

Hearing this, Xia Ling was laughing dumbly, his eyes in the dark night were like the bright moon in the sky, Zhao Yishuang was a little lost, and he didn't know why he was laughing, so he just stood there in a daze.After a while, he smiled lightly and said: "Ling Kang is naughty, girl don't need to pay attention, since you and I know each other and are friends, you can call me by my name directly."

"That……"

"How can I do that! You're my big brother, you don't agree with reason, Yishuang~" Xia Lingkang didn't know when he would arrive, he smiled wickedly, and leaned towards Zhao Yishuang again, unavoidably lost his composure in front of Xia Ling, Zhao Yishuang hurriedly bid farewell to him, Turn around and enter the park.

Xia Lingkang smiled meaningfully at Xia Lingzheng, and said, "I heard that my elder brother went to the Western Regions a few days ago, and I entered the door before my elder brother came back. It's a coincidence..." Xia Lingkang's eyes darkened suddenly during the seemingly ordinary chat , slowly stroked his sharpened chin, and asked again: "My younger brother just came down from Yuling Peak, why didn't I meet my eldest brother along the way?"

Xia Lingkang's doubts were not unreasonable, because his elder brother was never his own elder brother, and Qin Lian also sighed that he had such an elder brother, because sometimes his fate and Nangong Mo's fate were very similar.
