Chapter 55
Fu'an Hall of Marquis of Wu'an.

Xiao Jinxi and Xiao Hengyu helped Mrs. Xiao to the dining table...

Looking at the table full of dishes, Mrs. Xiao said with a smile: "Look, Madam Zhao has cooked so many delicious dishes, and Xuan'er's favorite pine nut fish. If this clever ghost is here, it probably won't be enough for her." food."

"Yes! There are a lot of dishes! It's okay, grandma. After Xuan'er and the second wife come back from worshiping Buddha, she will be so happy that she will cook for her alone. Mother Zhao, thank you for your hard work." Xiao Jinxi said with a smile.

I saw an old woman in a dark red embroidered skirt, bowing and saluting: "Miss, you are welcome! Today I made a lot of what the eldest lady and the eldest son like to eat. You and the eldest son should eat more. When the second young lady comes back, the old slave Just do it for her."

"Hey, nanny." Xiao Jinxi and Xiao Hengyu replied with a smile.

"Listen, this old guy has been back to his hometown for so long, and he only thinks about you when he comes back, and he forgot about me." Old Mrs. Xiao joked with a smile.

Mother Zhao said with a smile when she heard the words: "How can I! When I was in my hometown, I thought of you, Madam, every day! I thought about you day and night, look, this old slave's face has become thinner, it's all because of you. Thought!"

"Haha... Listen, what this old guy said is disrespectful to old people!" Mrs. Xiao was instantly amused when she heard the words.

Everyone was amused......

"I miss you too, grandma, no, Xi'er is coming to accompany you for dinner!" Xiao Jinxi who was on the side also said with a smile.

"Grandmother, Yu'er misses you too, no, I didn't eat much at noon, just to accompany you for dinner." Xiao Hengyu also complimented with a smile.

"Okay, okay, you all miss me and laugh at me, haha..." Mrs. Xiao laughed heartily.

"Old lady, come, you can eat a piece of crystal meat, this crystal meat is soft and delicious, you can taste it." Zhao Momo put a piece of meat into the old lady's bowl and said.

"Okay, I'll eat, you can eat too, you don't have to wait here anymore." Mrs. Xiao said with a smile.

"Yeah, it's enough for my brother and I to be here. You can go and eat too. Luoer is hungry for your pine nut fish today, but I'm waiting for your meal." Xiao Jinxi also said with a smile.

Zhao Momo smiled and said: "Okay, the old slave will go right away, old lady, if you have something to do, you can find the old slave."

"Go, go." Old Man Xiao said with a smile and waved his hands.

"Let's all go down, there is no need to wait here." Mother Zhao turned and said to the maidservants in the room.

"Yes, Ma'am." Everyone replied.

Everyone bowed and retreated.

Mother Zhao, formerly known as Zhao Xianglan, is Mrs. Xiao's dowry maid and also a best friend.A year ago, Mammy Zhao's daughter-in-law gave birth, and Mammy Zhao returned to her hometown to help take care of her grandson.I just returned to the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion yesterday.

"Grandmother, come, Xi'er will serve you a bowl of fish soup." Xiao Jinxi said while scooping up the fish soup.

"Come on, grandma, you can eat a piece of lion's head, this is delicious." Xiao Hengyu also said.

"Alright, Xi'er, Yu'er, you all eat more."

Mrs. Xiao replied with a smile.

"Hey, grandma." The siblings replied with a smile.

"Yu'er, you're going to the northern border in a few days, but you won't be able to eat home food. In the northern border, you have to take good care of yourself and your father." Mrs. Xiao looked at her eldest grandson and urged.

"Grandmother, Yu'er has made a note. Don't worry, I will take good care of father." Xiao Hengyu nodded and replied.

I saw Xiao Jinxi took out two cloth bags from the side and handed them to Xiao Hengyu, saying: "Brother, these are some emergency medicines I asked Xia Han to prepare for you and father. The usage and dosage are written in it. You and father must carry them with you. .”

"Xi'er is still careful. The court situation is complicated now, how many people are watching the Hou Mansion and the northern border, Yu'er, you and your father should be careful in everything." Mrs. Xiao also urged.

Xiao Hengyu took the medicine bag, smiled knowingly, and said, "Okay, brother accepts it. Xi'er, brother is not at home, you must take care of yourself. If you have something to do, let Chu Yi send a letter to brother, don't worry about everything yourself." Come on, you know?"

"Understood, brother. Xi'er wrote it down." Xiao Jinxi replied with a knowing smile.

"Xi'er, this is all the layout and update of the Dark Guard Office. You put it away. You can transfer the token that your father gave you before. Sister, be careful in everything." Xiao Hengyu handed a letter to Xiao Jinxi, Said.

"Understood, brother, Xi'er wrote it down." Xiao Jinxi replied with reddish eyes.

Seeing this pair of brothers and sisters who were thinking about each other, Mrs. Xiao smiled gratifiedly.

Dugu Ziyan's Study Room in Marquis Wending's Mansion.

Du Chuan bowed and handed a copy of the letter to Dugu Ziyan, and replied: "My lord, this is the information that was just sent back. The strange light that day should be the Cangyang Pearl."

"Cangyang Pearl?" Duguzi asked doubtfully.

Du Chuan continued: "This Cangyang Pearl is a unique vein pearl in the Cangyang Mountains of Canghai Country. Canghai Country is an overseas foreign capital, and this mountain range only discovered this vein pearl 50 years ago, and the output is also very high. Rare, only fifteen pieces have been produced so far. This bead is opened for the first time, and it needs to be wrapped in pearl powder for six hours before it is taken out. When it is taken out, it can emit a sun-like brilliance. A while ago, Yunshangfang obtained three of these beads from Canghai State, one was bought by Mrs. Xiao of the Marquis of Wu'an, and the other was bought by Rong Haoyu, the head of the Rong family, a grain merchant in Yangzhou, and presented to the old lady of the Rong family. This strange light also appeared in the Rongfu of Yangzhou, and it has become a good story."

"The Cangyang Orb obtained by Mrs. Xiao from the Marquis of Wu'an should have been specially purchased for Miss Xiao."

Duguzi fell into deep thought after hearing the words... After a while, he wondered: "Xiao Jinxi was always in good health before, but after the canonization ceremony, especially after entering the palace and annulling the marriage, he kept shutting himself out. Did it hit Xiao Jinxi so hard? So that his health has been bad?"

Du Chuan also replied after hearing the words: "It's probably possible that love hurts the body."

"Mmm..." Duguziyan responded with a general feeling, always feeling that there was something wrong, but he couldn't find anything wrong.

"My lord, do you think there is something wrong?" Du Chuan looked at Dugu Ziyan, who was frowning, and asked.

Dugu Ziyan shook his head, and ordered one by one: "Forget it, let's leave it at that." "In a few days, Xiao Hengyu should go to the northern border, and the security in the mansion should be loosened by that time. You can make arrangements to see if you can come back again." Explore others."

"Yes, son." Du Chuan bowed and replied.

"Go." Dugu Ziyan said.

Du Chuan bowed and stepped back when he heard the words.

Dugu Ziyan was left alone in the study, lost in thought... Marquis Wu'an's Mansion and Marquis Wending's Mansion are both founding marquis' mansions, but the families of military generals have different backgrounds. After the alert, very little news can be found.In the past two years, although the forces of all parties in the Wending Marquis Mansion have been strengthened, they cannot achieve this after all...
