"Grandpa Yang, try it, it's very fresh." Zhan Feiyu said with a smile.
Compared to the elders who drink and chat with each other, Zhan Feiyu prefers to eat and drink. "The soup is filled with scallops, ham, diced chicken, diced duck, and shark's fin, and steamed for three hours."
Old General Yang scooped out half a bowl and said, "I want to have a good taste."
"This little girl's mouth has been raised to be naughty." Gu Qingzhou laughed jokingly.
"Teacher, I'll do it." Zhan Feiyu stood up, fully demonstrating what it means to have something to do, and a disciple who obeys his duties and respects his teacher.
Gu Qingzhou glanced at it angrily, "Okay, if your hands are weak, don't mess with it, it's a waste of ointment."
It was a rare-to-find jasper ointment. Yin Wuyan was using it like a dog-skin plaster. He used half the jar to apply the ointment. Yin Wuyan felt distressed, and Gu Qingzhou couldn't bear to part with it.
Neither General Yang nor Yang Shoucheng cared about Yang Xu's absent-mindedness.
Hot dishes were accompanied by fine wine. The three elders, General Yang, Qiu Zongxi and Gu Qingzhou, chatted happily. Yang Shoucheng would occasionally say a few words.
As for Yin Wuyan, who was as indifferent as ever, he would pick up vegetables for Zhan Feiyu from time to time, pick out fish bones, and peel off shrimp shells. Zhan Feiyu would be responsible for feasting, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
When Zhan Feiyu put down the bowl, he felt that he was full, and pinched his cheeks subconsciously. They were all soft and full of meat. Fortunately, he was young. If he eats them in a few years, he would become a fat girl.
"It's snowing outside, let's take a walk in the house to eat." Yin Wuyan stood up and pulled up Zhan Feiyu, who was about to go back and lie down after eating.
"Is it snowing?" Zhan Feiyu walked towards the window.
Lanterns were hung under the corridor, and through the window paper you could see the flying snowflakes outside. Heavy snowflakes like goose feathers were falling one after another. It is estimated that there will be thick snow on the ground by tomorrow.
The servants quickly cleared away the dishes and chopsticks. Because Gu Qingzhou and the others had all drunk, He Nuan specially cooked tea to relieve the hangover and brought it over.
"People have sent fireworks over, do you want to watch them?" Yin Wuyan said, then looked out the window, "It's too cold outside, so just watch from the window."
Zhan Feiyu shook his head, "I'll dress warmly, big brother, let's go outside to set off fireworks."
After a while, He Nuan brought over the fox fur and the stove. Zhan Feiyu was instantly wrapped into a bear.
Old General Yang, who was drinking tea in the house, couldn't help but laugh. "You little girl practices boxing every day, why are you still so afraid of the cold?"
"Sleep less than three hours a day, and taking Shiquan Dabu Pills will not help." Qiu Zongxi continued and glanced meaningfully at Gu Qingzhou, who was sitting beside him.
Qiu Zongxi always considered himself a strict teacher, but Gu Qingzhou wrote a letter every three days. Along with the letter came Zhan Feiyu's homework for the past three days and the comments on the previous homework. Such a heavy homework, let alone
Even a grown man can't handle a little girl.
"Black-haired people don't know how to study hard, and white-haired people regret studying late. This girl Xiaoyu looks cute and sensible, but in fact she is reckless and impulsive. Studying for the imperial examination is the capital for her to settle down." Gu Qingzhou sipped tea slowly and looked at Yin Wuyan.
Zhan Feiyu's eyes were gentle and loving as he went out.
The pain of studying is also a broad road. Those farmers who face the loess with their backs to the sky are the real hardships, the hardships with no end in sight.
Qiu Zongxi snorted angrily, not concealing the doubt and contempt in his words, "As a bachelor in the current dynasty, can't you protect a little girl?"
Okay, these two people are at loggerheads! Old General Yang laughed, happily watching the commotion and letting the two of them go back and forth with each other.
Outside the main hall, Zhan Feiyu shivered coldly as soon as he stepped out. However, looking at the snowflakes all over the sky, it was worth the cold.
He Sheng quickly lit the fireworks, and with a sizzling sound, the flames soared into the sky, and then exploded in the night sky.
Looking up at the fleeting fireworks, Zhan Feiyu couldn't help but laugh, "The sky has been blooming for countless months, and the five-colored auspicious clouds are surrounding the Jiangtai. When they fall to the ground, the stars suddenly scatter, and the sound of rain swirls in the sky.
. Angrily hitting the jade bucket to turn over the clear snow, bravely stepping on the golden wheel to stir up thunder. Even more deeply, people gradually dispersed, and the pole was picked up to pick up the colorful lanterns. "
Yin Wuyan stood aside, shielding Zhan Feiyu from the cold wind. Looking at the happy little girl with picturesque features, a smile appeared on her handsome face.
On the other side, Yang Xu also stood under the eaves and looked at the fireworks in the sky, but there was no joy or joy. "Father, did I disappoint you and grandpa?"
Without Zhan Feiyu for comparison, Yang Xu, who had been living in Stone Village, was living a pretty good life, although he was a bit withdrawn and did not interact with the children in the village, and would even get into a fight when they met.
But compared to the village urchin who only had brute strength, Yang Xu had actually practiced martial arts for several years, and he was superior in both strength and technique.
As for reading, although Yang Xu was scolded by Qiu Zongxi for not being enlightened and having a dull head, he had at least read four books. Almost all the children in the village were illiterate.
But all this was overturned after getting to know Zhan Feiyu. After one incident after another happened, Yang Xu fell into confusion and at a loss. He suddenly doubted whether he had the ability to support the Yang family.
On the battlefield, can he really lead troops to fight?
Yang Shoucheng touched Yang Xu's head comfortingly, and his deep voice sounded amidst the roar of the fireworks, "Since you have determined that Xiaoyu is smart, then it means that she thinks highly of you, which means you are worthy of trust and friendship."
Yang Xu was startled and looked blankly at Zhan Feiyu not far away. Did Xiaoyu trust him?
Yes, she did not hesitate to put herself in danger for herself, fought her way out of the barbarian siege, and then went to Aozikou to save herself. After that, she even let An Nuan take her away, but she stayed and became Zhu Xiao's hostage. For this reason, she
The bachelor also slapped the palm of Xiaoyu's hand.
"Xiao Xu, Bachelor Gu said during the day that you should be cautious in your words and deeds. In fact, he is warning you not to be too superficial in your judgment of people and things. If you can't judge a person's quality, then give it to time. After getting along for a long time, the other person will eventually
Showing off." Yang Shoucheng didn't expect Qiu Jinyu to be a barbarian spy.
Fortunately, he is dead. If he is still alive, relying on his life-saving kindness to Xiaoxu, Xiaoxu will definitely rip out Qiu Jinyu's heart and soul in the future. Once Xiaoxu takes over the military power in the future, Longyou Road may be captured by barbarians.
Yang Xu has experienced too few people and things. He looks lonely, but in fact he is lonely. So as soon as Qiu Jinyu showed his kindness, Yang Xu fell headlong into it.
"The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and the friendship between villains is as sweet as sweet wine; the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and the friendship between villains is as sweet as wine." Yang Shoucheng knew that Yang Xu might not be able to become a good planner in his life, but as long as he stood firm,
You will not be confused by external objects.
"Xiaoyu plans to cooperate with our Yang family and make his purpose clear. This is Cheng. Think about it, when you and Qiu Jinyu interact, has he ever revealed any purpose?"
After hearing Yang Shoucheng's words, Yang Xu thought about it carefully. Although he and Qiu Jinyu had known each other, they had talked a lot, but most of them were about the customs and customs of the Daqing Dynasty.
Yang Xu could not leave Longyou Road and was naturally curious about the world outside. Although Qiu Jinyu was only a few years older, he was well-informed and talked about topics that interested Yang Xu.
On weekdays, if Yang Xu didn't understand anything about reading and writing, Qiu Jinyu would patiently give him guidance, break up the articles and verses and explain them to Yang Xu. Before he knew Qiu Jinyu's identity, he had always been Yang Xu's mentor.
"Father, isn't there any pure emotion between people?" Yang Xu's eyes were fixed on Zhan Feiyu and Yin Wuyan.
Even though Yang Shoucheng didn't say it explicitly, Yang Xu also guessed that Yin Wuyan came from the Forbidden Dragon Guard and had considerable power. Every now and then, a carriage would deliver things to the Qiu Mansion. If he wasn't in a high position, how could he possibly do it.
Yang Xu hardly spoke tonight, and was absent-minded during the New Year's Eve dinner, but he still noticed that the attitude of Yin Wuyan and Gu Qingzhou when they talked was not that of a junior versus an elder, or a subordinate versus a superior, but as equals.
Coupled with Yin Wuyan's noble, cold and arrogant temperament, Yang Xu guessed that his power was no lower than that of Bachelor Gu, so there was no need for him to please Xiao Yu to curry favor with Bachelor Gu. But as a Forbidden Dragon Guard, why did he treat Xiao Yu like this?
He took great care of her, even going so far as to pick fish bones and peel shrimp shells from small fishes when eating.
Following Yang Xu's gaze, Yang Shoucheng understood the meaning of his words, "It's true that we feel like old friends at first sight, but that requires fate."
All the bustle in the world is for benefit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for benefit. People come together more because of their interests, so they have like-minded people and do not seek each other if they have different ways.
Yang Xu nodded in understanding. He had experienced too many things in just a few months. He needed to think about it and be quiet.
Two quarters of an hour later.
Yin Wuyan touched Zhan Feiyu's right hand, holding the stove. His hand was warm, but his face was cold from the cold. "I'll put the rest away tomorrow night. Go back and have a good sleep tonight."
"Yeah." Zhan Feiyu was indeed a little tired, so he took a nap for an hour in the afternoon. When he heard Yin Wuyan's words, he felt like his eyelids were about to fight.
Holding the hand stove tightly, Zhan Feiyu grinned at Yang Xu on the other side, and then obediently followed Yin Wuyan and left.
…
After the hustle and bustle of New Year's Eve faded away, it was late at night and everything was quiet.
Lanterns were still lit under the eaves of wealthy families, but ordinary people went to bed early after the barbarian army attacked the city last night and had New Year's Eve dinner.
Under the thick darkness of night, Yin Wuyan stood under the verandah, listening to the slight breathing coming from inside, and his heart seemed to calm down.
The sound of slight footsteps was accompanied by the sound of the door being opened. He Nuan walked out, closed the door gently, and then whispered back, "Miss slept deeply and did not have any nightmares."
Trainers like Yin Wuyan and He Nuan have long been accustomed to life and death. No matter how dangerous the situation is, they will not be haunted by nightmares. However, Zhan Feiyu is young after all. Even though he fell asleep after drinking the calming soup, Yin Wuyan still felt uneasy.
"He Nuan stays." Glancing at He Sheng and others standing in the courtyard, Yin Wuyan stepped forward into the night.
A long while later, the back garden of Qiu Mansion.
"Master Qi, fat girl He Sheng and the others dare not fail to carry out her order." Chongguang couldn't help but say something, which could be regarded as He Sheng and the others' pleading, "Fat girl is the most soft-hearted. If he knew that He Sheng and the others were punished, he would probably
I feel uncomfortable first."
He Sheng and others were still kneeling on one knee to apologize. Snowflakes were flying. Soon, a layer of snow fell on their heads and bodies. As the knees on the ground came into contact with the snow, the chill penetrated into the body through the cloth.
, as if there is a chill in the joints of the bones.
"Three thousand barbarians are guarding the city gate, and you dare to break out with Xiaoyu." Yin Wuyan's voice was not loud, but every word seemed to be wrapped in frost and snow, and the shocking coldness made people shudder.
"I am guilty!" He Sheng said, thinking about it now, he was still scared. If anything happens, the young lady will be killed by the barbarians' butcher's knife. Even if they kill all the barbarians, even if they die to apologize, they will be killed.
What's the use?
"The terrain at Aozikou is dangerous. I don't know how many enemies are ambushing you. If someone pries stones from the top of the mountain or attacks you from both sides, supplemented by poisonous curare powder, and given the wind that night, can you come out alive?"
After everything happened, Yin Wuyan could finally understand the anger that Master Gu felt at that time.
It's just that Yin Wuyan's anger was directed at He Sheng and the others. Gu Qingzhou was more sensible, so he slapped Zhan Feiyu ten times with a ruler. After all, He Sheng, He Nuan and the others were all following orders, and Zhan Feiyu was the "
The culprit”.
Thirdly, there is no need for Yin Wuyan to explain. Faced with the siege of the Marquis Mansion at the edge of the town, He Sheng and the others actually dared to leave Zhan Feiyu behind. Even Yin Wuyan could not guarantee that Zhu Xiao would keep his promise. If he moved
With a murderous heart, even if Zhan Feiyu has nine lives, it will not be enough for him to die.
Chongguang opened his mouth, but looking at Yin Wuyan whose scowl was no longer suppressed, he did not dare to plead for mercy anymore. He could only let He Sheng and the others seek their own blessings. For the sake of the fat girl, Qi Ye would not punish her too much.
Damn it, I'll probably be fine after a while of rest.
