daily life

Chapter 726

In the cold and cold weather, many family members of officials moved to other courtyards or returned to their hometowns to visit their relatives. There were no banquets to attend, and when they met occasionally, most of them looked bewildered, as if a catastrophe was imminent.

It's not that people deliberately create such an atmosphere by making trouble out of nothing, that's the truth.

Dozens or even hundreds of bodyguards' corpses were cleared out every day in the palace. Someone saw corpses lying on the street early in the morning. People in the Queen's Palace deliberately spread such news, and everyone knew it.

There are more and more times when Xi Lang does not return all night.In the stormy future of the capital, he has stepped into a life-and-death duel that is more dangerous than the battlefield.For these, Xiang Zhixuan has the most direct feelings.

Originally, she could not go out behind closed doors, but today Xia Yichen sent dozens of people to pick her up, so she was able to go out for a walk.

The carriage stopped at Xia's outer courtyard.

Before entering the study, Xiang Zhixuan stopped and looked at the sky.

The sun is warm, the sky is blue, and the clouds move slowly with the breeze.

The weather looks clear and warm, but it doesn't give people the slightest warmth, which is annoying at this time of year.The same is true for dressing, it is hot in a small jacket, and a little cold in a jacket, which is not comfortable at all.

He saluted his uncle at the door, and after he was seated, he asked the boy to make a pot of hot tea.

But the servant first brought a small hand stove with a smile on his face.

Xiangzhi received it in her hand, and immediately smiled with eyebrows crooked.

Xia Yichen's smile was a bit helpless, and more of a doting one. After the servant served tea, he asked, "Why are you looking through my and your aunt's old almanac?"

In the past few days, Tian Wei found her a few servants who had worked in the Xia family for many years and now went to Xi's mansion to talk to her about the couple's experiences over the years.Originally, she didn't want to hide it from her uncle and aunt, but now she was asked about it, Xiangzhi turned calmly and said: "Yeah, I'm also surprised."

Xia Yichen made Xia Yichen chuckle, "Tell the truth."

"It's not looking through your old calendars, but I want to know more about my aunt, and think about how to be filial to her in the future." She couldn't say that she just wanted to find out how her aunt got the root of the disease, and which doctors she had consulted. Based on what I know, I can find another famous doctor for my aunt, but... the result is very disappointing.

Xia Yichen teased her, "Oh, just be filial to her, nothing to do with me, right?"

Xiang Zhixuan blinked playfully, "How dare you, my aunt won't agree." Later, she found another reason, "I also want to find out why you have given up on entering the officialdom."

"I don't think so at all." Xia Yichen corrected her.

Xiang Zhixuan asked casually: "How do you say that?"

"I never thought about it from the bottom of my heart. The path I'm taking is naturally going against my official career." Xia Yichen poured her a cup of hot tea and put it in her hand, "You don't think the money in my hands is clean, do you?"

Xiang Zhixuan said truthfully: "If you are such a good person, I'm afraid I'm not pleasing to the eye."

Xia Yichen laughed, "It's good to understand. When I was at my worst, your father took me in and treated me kindly. There was a period of unrest, and I was afraid of hurting him, so I told the truth about my background. Your father not only He didn’t cut off his friendship with me. Instead, he invited two gentlemen, civil and military, to continue to practice literature and martial arts. He said that no matter what kind of job I do in the future, both civil and military skills will be beneficial and harmless. That’s why I always say that I have this Everything actually belongs to your father—naturally, to get rid of those debts."

Uncle has never been a talkative person, and has always treated her like a child, but at this moment, it is clearly like a long talk.Xiang Zhixuan didn't know why, but she knew that there must be a reason for his behavior, so she listened carefully.
