At dusk, everyone's fish had almost caught it. The maids set fire, moved out small cases, cushions, and placed pastries and wine in place.

There are very few servants and maids, and there is not as many guests as the host. This is impossible. When the war in Hedong is in a stalemate, anyone with cultivation will go to the army.

At present, not only is the warehouse empty, but there are not many gold, silver and treasures, but the mansion in the mansion is barely enough, and there is no situation where the seven or eight maids and servants serve one person before.

The one who caught the most fish was not Zhao Ning, but Zhao Xuanji and Old Man Xuanyuan. These two people lived the longest and were the most stable when fishing. It was not Zhao Ning who was ranked behind, but Gan Jiang Mo Xie.

people.

According to Zhao Ning's initial estimate, the boss's wife sat with the scholar, and she didn't roll up her sleeves and beat the bait to the sky, even if it was a rare scene for the first time.

But what surprised him was that when fishing today, the two did not blew their noses and stared at each other, but instead got along very harmoniously. Not to mention that they did not face each other with their fists and feet, they didn't even quarrel with each other in loud voices.

The scholar is mainly responsible for fishing, and the proprietress helps to pick up the fish and prepare the bait. When there is no work on his hands, the proprietress sits next to the scholar, with his arms on his knees and his cheeks on his cheeks, quietly looking at the water.

When changing the bait, the two of them occasionally looked at each other and actually smiled at each other, warm and soft, infinitely beautiful, just like a teenage boy and girl who faced the first lover of their lives. Zhao Ning shivered.

At the moment, everyone sat in front of small fires. The boss helped the scholar to handle the fish's internal organs and skewed them together. The cooperation scored very skillfully. Then one flipped the barbecue and the other was responsible for adding seasonings.

The boss sometimes pours a glass of wine on a small table next to him and hands it to the scholar, while the latter waits for the other party to raise his glass together. Their lovely style is as if there are only two of them left in the world, and the years are so quiet that they are so peaceful.

Zhao Ning really couldn't stand it anymore. The two of them were put together and they didn't fight or make trouble. He was very uncomfortable and couldn't help asking Yang Jiani beside him: "When did their relationship become so harmonious?

”

This is the first time he returned to Jinyang after the battle of Qingzhushan. When he left last time, the boss's wife and the scholar could not get out of bed, so it was the first time he saw the scene of the two together. Yang Jiani often got close to Jinyang because she was close to Jinyang.

contacts.

Yang Jiani took out a fish from Zhao Ning's fish basket and skewed it on the skewer in her hand, and said naturally:

"What else can you do if you don't have a harmonious relationship? You have lost your cultivation and are powerless. If you want to fight, you can only pull your hair to each other. That's so embarrassing to see it. It's better to change your mindset to face life and each other in life.

.”

Zhao Ning opened his mouth and found himself speechless. This truth was really impossible to refute.

When they are strong people, they fight each other, and when they become weak, they can only rely on each other. The state of life determines their own mentality... General Yang is indeed very wise, and any sentence has such a profound philosophy.

Zhao Ning gave Yang Jiani a thumbs up.

When Zhao Ning praised, General Yang raised his eyebrows, and was very proud. He pulled it and jumped onto her legs, stretched his neck and claws, and his big eyes were particularly eager to get enough of the fish on the fire.

Orange cat.

Since everyone started fishing, cats inside and outside the village came to the front after hearing the news. The first fat fish that Zhao Ning caught disappeared from the bucket at some point. Later, General Yang had to protect himself.

Now that everyone has started grilling fish, there are more cats nearby. Some are surrounded by people, staring at the food on the fire, and from time to time, they want to pick up chestnuts from the fire, but they seem to be unconscious of their hair until they are pulled open.

Some of them kept circling around the fish basket, pounced over at lightning speed from time to time, fighting wits and courage with the maid who was guarding the fish basket.

This part is also called the most heart-warming, as if it is accusing the biped beasts of bold evil deeds and persevering in preparing for the next wave of offensives.

Zhao Ning was only half roasting a fish, and Hong Ke leaned over with a frustration. It turned out that the fish in her hand had been roasted and made her nose and cheeks covered with black and gray. I don’t know how to do it.

Yes, now I can only count on Zhao Ning.

Apart from the amazing talent in practicing, this little girl has no talent for the rest of the facts. She can get lost by herself when she goes out with General Yang. She can fly around in the air for an hour and cannot find the Zhao mansion.

If Yang Jiani takes her out for fun, she must hold her hand. If she lets go for a while, she will not find someone when she looks back. She can only see a figure circling over the city.

Seeing that Hongko had given up doing it herself and planned to be a simple foodie, Zhao Ning waved and asked the maid to bring a plate of pastries to satisfy the little girl's craving first.

After so many years, the little girl has not grown up. She still looks like a cardamom girl. Her pink and jade-like face and her unfading baby fat make Zhao Ning very suspicious of her real age.

After the battle of Qingzhushan, although Hong Ke was not so seriously injured and would not lose his cultivation, he remained in the middle stage of the King's Realm after his injury recovered, and he didn't know what would happen in the future.

The only thing I want to satisfy my craving is Hong Ke, and there are also orange cats, tabby cats, which are not coveting big fish in groups of three or three, and all kinds of cats are cats. As soon as the pastry plate fell into her hands, they were distributed to the friends in the blink of an eye, but they were kept around.

Much quieter.

In contrast, the dogs have a lot of duty. Although they smell the fragrance, they act very well. After each selected the owner who can share food with them, they stuck out their tongues and squatted aside and waited quietly.

.

While staring at the grilled fish in the owner's hand, they also knew that they would look at the owner from time to time, showing a silly smile, and their tails were particularly cheerful, and they almost performed a show to help them liven up.

The grilled fish finally got into the mouth, and General Yang ate it so much that the corners of his mouth were oily. As a high-end diner who was good at eating, he did not forget to have a serious review:

"The fish in the north are not as good as those in Jiangnan, and they are less tender, smooth and fragrant. If it is in Yangzhou, we don't have to eat anything else tonight. A whole fish banquet with fine wine is enough to make everyone enjoy the fun."

Zhao Ning has no obsession with fine wine and food. Before he was sixteen, he cared about these things very much. That was to reflect the style of a top playboy. After he was sixteen, he was full of family and country wars, so he didn't care about anything else.

He said: "I have eaten the fish from Yangzhou, and it is indeed delicious, but the fish from Jinyang is also good as those from Jinyang. After getting used to it, you can find another flavor."

As a local, of course, you have to maintain local fish.

Yang Jiani did not really tell Zhao Ning about who is better and worse in the north and south fish. Her eyes flashed for a while, and her tone was a bit abnormal:

"Although you have been to Yangzhou and eaten my fish before the National War, you may find that the taste is different from before when you go back next time."

Zhao Ning was slightly stunned and discovered the different meaning in Yang Jiani's words.

Without waiting for him to say anything, Yang Jiani slowly ate the fish from Jinyang, while asking casually without raising her head, "When are you going to taste the fish from Yangzhou?"

Zhao Ning knew that this was not a simple question.

Yang Jiani asked, in fact, the Zhao family would make plans next in the situation in front of him. They are both discerning people and are very clear-headed after the national war, the emperor will inevitably weaken the authority of the aristocratic families and divide the camps of each aristocratic family.

If Zhao Ning answers that he will go quickly, he will seek a life-and-death alliance between the Zhao family and the Yang family, prepare for the future and make more arrangements, and work together to deal with the next crisis of the aristocratic family.

Another meaning of this answer is tantamount to fighting against imperial power in groups.

When necessary, even rebel!

In the situation of turbulent clouds and heavy rains are approaching, such a major and important decision that concerns the fate of the two families must have a strong bond, which can help the two families reduce their worries and trust each other more firmly.

This bond is family business and private affairs.

Zhao Ning said as usual: "The sky in the south of the Yangtze River is high and the clouds are vast, and the rivers are thousands of miles away. Some of them are the places where fish from Yangzhou travel. In a few years, today's small fish will become big fish, and their muscles and bones will be strong and their flavor will be added.

"I should go and taste it again by then."

Yang Jiani's expression remained unchanged and she nodded, which was considered a response.

Hongke ate so hard that his lips and teeth were red. He looked at Zhao Ning and Yang Jiani, but he didn't understand what they were saying. But after they stopped talking, he felt something inexplicably: Something is here

It became different for a moment.

Her little head could figure out many complicated things, but she felt that the atmosphere was weird, so she simply didn't care about these things, and she no longer talked to the two of them. Instead, she gave all the half of the fish she had left.

The orange cat next to the feet.

There was no food in his hand, Hong Ke raised her head and looked around.

The clear night sky in summer has the brightest and deepest starry sea of ​​the year. There are countless mountains and rivers in the world, and there are almost no one who can compare with it. This is a picture that will make people feel peaceful and distant just by taking a look.

The breeze blows through the Fen River and passes through the wild flowers, with a faint fragrance that lingers around the pleasant people, and the movements of cats jumping and dogs barking makes it look like a dream tonight.

Hongke saw the gray-haired Zhao Xuanji and the unruly old man Xuanyuan, raising his glass to drink and laughing happily, as if he had not lost the cultivation level that practitioners care about the most; he also saw the boss and the scholar smiled non-stop, and he kept talking to each other.

The maids and servants carried plates to pass through, and from time to time they were tripped by cats and dogs under their feet and fell down. However, no one was really angry and still talked and laughed with their companions beside them.

At this moment, Hong Ke suddenly realized that the most ultimate beauty in the world may be in ordinary things in daily life and in the gossip of relatives and friends. What you see in front of you is probably the most worthy of nostalgia in the world.

She couldn't help but think, if such a banquet could be repeated day after day, and if the people in front of her could meet year after year, there would never be a moment of separation.

......

The next day, outside Jinyang City, someone picked up the farewell wine outside the ten-mile pavilion and sent his old friend to a long trip.

What we are leaving today is Gan Jiang Mo Ye and the others.

Everyone drank the farewell wine, and Zhao Xuanji said a little sadly:

"In the past, the national war was in crisis, the building was about to collapse, and the people were trapped in water and fire, and the dynasty fell into a long dark night. Two people came with Mr. Xuanyuan and Miss Hongke with swords and righteousness. We worked together to turn the tide.

"We have lost our cultivation in four years and two battles, and the price is very heavy. Now that the dynasty has revived Hebei, the northern thieves are fleeing in a panic. It is the time when we have achieved fame and the two are leaving...

.

"Although the world is vast, is there anyone who is more powerful than you?"

The boss's wife lowered her eyebrows and smiled, gentle and virtuous:

"Zhao Gongyan is so serious. If we talk about chivalrousness, if there are millions of casualties in the five-year national war, which bravery on the battlefield is not the greatest hero? We come in time and pass by time, and can still maintain a complete body, which is already a lucky thing.

Lucky in heaven.

"As for making a name for the world, what's the point?"

Zhao Xuanji did not agree, but just sighed: "After leaving today, I don't know when I will drink and have fun again."

The middle-aged scholar with obvious turtle slut, smiled and said with a sigh: "The reason why the world is so vast is to make people travel far away with their swords. If you cannot see the beautiful scenery and taste delicious food, wouldn't it be a failure to create Haotian?

"As for gathering, separation and reunion, it's just a common thing. If you have the fate, you can meet again, so don't worry."

Speaking of this, the two of them clasped their fists to everyone who bid farewell: "Take care, let's go."

Zhao Xuanji, Zhao Ning, Yang Jiani, Xuanyuan Old Man, Hong Kou and others all clasped their fists together: "There will be a date later."

Under the eaves of the long pavilion, Zhao Ning looked at the middle-aged scholar taking the package from the boss's wife, carrying it on his back, leading the horses side by side, like a fairy couple, gradually fading away among the travelers on the road, and suddenly felt envious and jealous in his heart.

I never looked back for a long time.
