When Yan Qi was looking at her brothers and sisters, her brothers and sisters were also looking at her and Young Master Yan Jiu, of course, Yan Jingxiu, the eighth girl, paid the most attention to her sisters and brothers. For Yan Jingxiu, as one of the only two concubines in the family, she already feels inferior in terms of identity, and she is younger than Yan Liu, so it seems that she is the lowest one among these children in the family.
In the past, the second master and his wife were far away at the border, and the second sister and brother were like children without a father and a mother, and the eighth girl didn't dare to compare anything with the young master Yan Jiu, whether she was a son or a descendant, so she had to focus on Yan Qi's fat piece of wood. Although Yan Qi is also a concubine, who called her fat when she was a child, fat and wooden, with a gentle temperament, and easy to bully when she looks, Yan Ba Girl's heart, which has always been inferior and unwilling to be willing, finally has a place to find balance.
She needs to build self-confidence in Yan Qi, find a sense of superiority, and get rid of all kinds of wretched qi that Yan Wu received. In this family, there has to be someone who is not as good as her, otherwise people are more popular than others, this kind of depression, this kind of resentment, and not wanting to vent it is going to drive people crazy!
It's a pity that this Yan Qi has an uncle around her, and before she left Kyoto, she lost weight day by day, became beautiful, became powerful, like a butterfly breaking out of a cocoon, such a change made Yan Ba feel anxious, she didn't want to be the least valued in this family, the one with the least brilliance and capital, she didn't want to accept the fate that God arranged for her......
What makes her happy is that Yan Qi is going to go far away, what is stupid, where is it better outside than at home, the wind, frost and sword, the skin will be blown rough, her hands and feet will be grinded, she will become black, thicker, ugly, and become dusty!
Miss Yan Ba has been looking forward to seeing Yan Qi since the day she followed everyone to the island, and she really can't wait to see what kind of ugliness she looks like by the wind and sand in the north.
And then she saw it now.
She had to struggle to clasp her hands in her sleeves so as not to make herself tremble.
Yan Qi has indeed changed a lot, and he hasn't seen him for two years, which is enough to refresh his old impression of a person and reload his new cognition.
Yan Qi has grown up, and the appearance of being fat and short before seems to be an illusion, and he can no longer rest on the person in front of him. She is tall, tall and thin, but she is not like those thin ladies in the boudoir circle, shriveled, stiff, sickly, boring, her thinness is full of elasticity, flexibility, strength and health of the thin, her limbs are slender and her back is straight, like a bamboo pole soaring to the sky, with a proud posture. Her skin has not darkened or thickened, she is still fair and clean, her facial features have grown like all her peers around her, her eyebrows are bright, her eyes are sparse, and the so-called wooden expression on her face now looks more like indifferent and quiet, but at that time, who could think of such four words from a child? And now that she has grown up, those things that were once wrapped in layers under the immature appearance suddenly spread out in front of everyone, together with her younger brother Yan Jiu, the two of them sat there even if they didn't say anything, they seemed to be leaning on the long sky and stepping on the desert, the corners of the sleeves of the clothes had the smell of the wind, and the sideburns and cheeks had the luster of the sun, the two sisters and brothers had changed, different from Yan Da's meaninglessness, Yan Er's prudence, Yan San's lightness, Yan Si's coolness, Yan Wu's flamboyance, Yan Liu's vanity...... These two people jumped out of the square courtyard well, and were nourished by the wind, frost, rain and dew outside, and it was difficult to find the traces of the high walls and deep courtyards.
Two years have passed, and all of a sudden, these two people have become people in another circle, just like ...... Two birds flew out of the bird's nest, and they were not on the same level as her sky at all.
Thinking of this, Miss Yan Ba suddenly felt a little stunned, looking at the light clouds and light wind on the faces of these two people, she couldn't help but try to imagine what the outside world would look like.
The outside world is probably very new and beautiful, Yan Ba thought to herself, but for people like her, the horror and danger of the outside world far outweighs the attraction it generates.
The bird has the advantages of the bird, the bird also has the advantages of the bird, not everyone is suitable for the outside world, as a bird, she just wants to stay in this cage with peace of mind, as for the sky of the birds, it is too high and far away from her, this distance makes her even have the heart to compare.
Thinking of this, Miss Yan Ba felt depressed, but after the depression, she felt open-minded for some reason, since there was no comparison, it seemed to be much easier, and she didn't have to keep staring and thinking about it...... Looking at it this way, it turns out that jealousy is also a tiring thing, there are too many people in this world who are better than you, more fortunate than you, more capable and talented than you, what is the use of spending your whole life and energy on jealousy? It will only make you more sad.
Miss Yan Ba slowly came out of her depressed mood, her hands gradually loosened, her tense body was also relaxed, and she tried to curl the corners of her lips, from a strong smile to a natural smile, from a natural smile to a relaxed smile, and suddenly became calm after finding that it was not difficult to do, until the adults' cold greetings in the second room came to an end and everyone temporarily disbanded, she could already step forward and shake Yan Qi's hand, and asked her face generously: "What good things did Seventh Sister bring us back from Beisaike?"
"It's all in the box, I'll go back to Asuki first and pack it up, I promise that I won't be short of you. "Yan Qidao.
"That's it, I'm waiting, things are not good, I'm going to Osukii to block you. Miss Yan Ba said with a smile.
Young Master Yan Jiu glanced thoughtfully at the side.
Yan Zike and the second room of a family have just come back from the outside, since they want to go back to freshen up and bathe, rest and tidy up, so everyone is interested in dispersed early, let these few people go back to various places, Yan Zichen and his wife on the island of the residence has long been cleaned up, by Yan Zike personally designated and named, called "Purple Smoke House", built on the island on a huge rock next to the foot of a waterfall, is betting on the poem "Sunshine Xianglu produces purple smoke, and looks at the waterfall hanging in front of the river".
Yan Qi and Young Master Yan Jiu went back to the Asuki Gate first, because they were about to leave Kyoto, so the Young Master Yan Jiu didn't pick carefully, so they lived with Yan Qi upstairs and downstairs in the Asuka Gate for the time being, but this time they came back and had to choose a new place, it was not good that a large number of people were living in the tree, and the tree felt that it was too abusive.
Young Master Yan Jiu climbed up the tree and before he could sit on the chair, a branch came to pass Yan Zike's words: "Master invites the ninth master to move to Tianshui Pavilion." β
Tianshui Pavilion is Yan Zike's residence, on the boat in the lake, but is there enough space?
"The lord has changed to a big ship. Kazuji added very carefully.
"......" Young Master Yan Jiu was a little surprised, but he still let people carry their luggage, said hello to Yan Qi and went to the lake.
What is surprising is that since Yan Zike went to Saibei, it seems that he always likes to take him with him, when he was in Saibei, it was because he was in time to get in touch with government affairs, and taking him by his side could guide him to practice and exercise, and now he returned to Beijing with him like this, what is it for......? Do you think that he is old enough to take on everything, or that he has the ability to take on everything, so now is it time for the eaglet to really teach the eaglet how to become the overlord of the sky?
Yan Qi freshened up and bathed and changed into a set of homely clothes, and a few girls packed her luggage by cooking clouds and boiling rain, and a few girls who hadn't seen them for two years have also changed a lot, and they were more mature and stable than before, but Comrade Boiling Yu still didn't change his words, and when he saw Yan Qi's first glance, a few girls knelt down and howled, this time he worked happily with red and swollen eyes, and Boiling Yu's mouth didn't stop, and asked Yan Qi about his living status in the past two years, Yan Qi escaped from the Flying Torii House after saying a few words, and went to the Purple Smoke House aloneγ
Ziyanlu is a small two-story building, upstairs is the living room, go up to the second floor to see a group of girls are also busy cleaning up, but there is no need to be very detailed, I heard that living in the twenty-first month of the twenty-one family will go back to the capital in the house.
Yan Zichen had already taken off his armor and changed into homely clothes, and was sitting by the window drinking tea, when he saw Yan Qi coming in, he smiled and beckoned: "Come here, sit." β
Yan Qi sat on the chair opposite him, took a sip of the tea that her father had poured for her, and then asked him, "How do you feel?"
I haven't seen my relatives for more than ten years, I haven't lived at home, and I suddenly come back, do you feel unwell?
"It's fine. Yan Zichen smiled.
Even if it is flesh and blood, if he hasn't seen him for twelve years, he will have regrets, but unfortunately he has no choice, this road is set from the beginning, and it is destined to come to the end ruthlessly.
"The good thing is that there's a long, long time to make up for it. "Yan Qidao.
"yes. Yan Zichen smiled and stretched out his palm to cover Yan Qi's head.
"Did the emperor say what did he let you do after getting you back to Beijing?" Yan Qi cared about his father's work.
"Listening to the emperor's meaning, probably a position as a general in Beijing is gone. Yan Zi said.
The general of the Beijing camp, the official of the third grade, was promoted to two levels, it can be seen that the eradication of Yao Lida is a big breath for the emperor.
"Congratulations to Gao Sheng, a red envelope. Yan Qi stretched out his hand.
Yan Zichen slapped this paw with his big palm, ignored her stubble at all, and only said: "I have a reunion dinner at home tonight, I still have to go to the city to the camp, and tomorrow I will lead the army into the city early in the morning, waiting for the emperor to reward him for his meritorious deeds." β
It is to take his soldiers through the streets, accept the worship and cheers of the people, and maybe there is a big red flower on his chest or something.
It's a pity that Yan Qi can't go, it's not good to run out as soon as he comes back, but later Young Master Yan and his brothers heard about it at the dust washing banquet at dinner, and they all ran back to the city early the next morning to see the excitement, and even Young Master Yan Jiu followed, and after the fourth young master Yan came back, he frothed at the time and talked about the grand occasion at that time:" Tianzao Street is blocked on both sides, the roofs are full of people, first there are only a handful of people laughing and crying and screaming like crazy, and then they are affected by these people, more and more people are crying, desperately squeezing forward, I saw several people who wanted to pounce on the second uncle and hugged him immediately, more than seeing their own relatives, and there was a girl who covered her face and screamed 'General Yan slave wants to marry you', good guy, that's called a lively!"
Yan Qi: "......" is simply a fight with the star-chasing clan in that life.
"It's decided!I'll go back and ask my second uncle to teach me martial arts, and I will be a warrior like my second uncle in the future!" Fourth Young Master Yan's excitement hadn't gone down yet, and he grabbed Yan Qi's shoulder, "Seventh sister, you have to help me say good things in front of my second uncle!"
"No problem, provided that the eldest aunt agrees with you to practice martial arts?" Yan Qi asked.
"Uh......" Fourth Young Master Yan scratched his head, "it should ...... I'll agree, my mother doesn't care about this now. β
Mrs. Yan really doesn't seem to care, and even the matter of the middle feed that she lives on the island now seems to be handed over to Mrs. Yan San, and Yan Qi is not interested in knowing the reason for this.
Yan Zichen's promotion to the general of the Beijing camp was reported to the island before lunch, and the old lady and the old lady were so happy that they immediately set up an incense case to worship the ancestors and worship the emperor.
On the evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the family had a lively reunion dinner, and then the group sat on the New Year, the adults chatted in the house, and the fourth old man Yan took his nephews and nieces to set off cannons and flowers outside, and the little eleven was bold and thief, and he was not afraid to listen to the sound of the cannon, and he was still giggling there, and the fourth old man Yan ran around his neck and ran around, and finally ended up urinating on the back of the little eleven.
As soon as the child passed, the children routinely asked the parents for red envelopes, the old lady and the old lady gave the heaviest red envelope to Xiao Eleven, Yan Zichen and Yan Er also gave each child a big red envelope, for the fourth young master Yan and these children born later, this second uncle is very strange to them, especially he is also a military general, compared to the elegant Yan Zike and the courteous Yan Ziheng is really a very sharp contrast, even the more jumpy Yan Zikai is not like him...... Well, how to say it, rigid, ruffian, hardcore?
In short, it is the unprecedented style of this home, and his addition suddenly injects a tough, rough and outgoing atmosphere into this slightly softer family, and some things that have always had to be taken care of suddenly become less important.
The Yan family has been secretly observing and adapting to this change all the time, and this year, the Erfang family has become the most concerned person in the family.
Mrs. Yan San has a sense of crisis in this regard.
It's easy for the eldest concubine to be forced to let go of the power and hand it over to her, and now it hasn't been long before the second concubine is back, the young and the old are orderly, even if the eldest concubine is no longer in charge of the power, it should be the turn of the second concubine to get started, is it possible to let her hand over the power and benefits in her eyes again?
The right thing, you haven't touched it, you don't know how wonderful it is, it's easy to pick up, it's hard to put it!
Mrs. Yan San couldn't sleep well for two days in a row, so she easily stayed up until the second day of the Lunar New Year, and went back to her parents' house with her husband and children early.
Yan Qi also got up very early, followed her father to practice fists and feet for a while, shot three thousand arrows, went back to the flying torii to bathe, change clothes and comb hair, and after breakfast, he called Young Master Yan Jiu to go to the dock on the island with a few children in the long house, today is the day when the married daughter returns to her parents' house, Yan Er Girl wants to come back with her son-in-law, although she has a big belly, after all, it is also the New Year, and two days ago, Yan Zichen and his wife came back from the border and she was not able to come home in person to see, this time it is a two-in-one ceremony.
From a distance, I saw that the boat in charge of the Yan family to pick up people on the other side was slowly and steadily rowing towards the island, Yan Qi's eyes were good, and he saw Wu Yan standing at the bow of the boat at a glance, Wu Yan's eyes were not bad, and he also saw her in the crowd early, raised the corners of his lips and raised his arms to beckon at her, and the fourth young master Yan jumped next to him and danced his arms at him: "Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! I'm here!"
When the boat arrived at the dock, Wu Yan turned around and went into the cabin to help Yan Er Girl out, and the first few girls and women all stared at Yan Er Girl's movements with nervous faces, for fear that she would be unstable. When they came ashore, the two sides saluted each other, Yan Wu and Yan Liu came forward to take Wu Yan's hand and hold their sister, Yan Er's face was much richer because of her pregnancy, and she looked more ruddy than when she was not out of the pavilion, and she also smiled when she looked at Yan Qi and Yan Jiu Young Master: "I haven't seen you for two years, you have grown so tall, Xiao Jiu is more than half a head taller than Xiao Qi." β
"And let him be proud for a while, and next year I will surpass him by half a head. "Yan Qidao.
Young Master Yan Jiu: "......" You are one meter eight long.
"Let's go, Daddy has been waiting for a long time!" Fourth Young Master Yan dragged Wu Yan very happily.
The group hugged Wu Yan and his wife to the main courtyard, and paid New Year's greetings to the old lady and his wife, Yan Zike and his wife and Yan Zichen and his wife, and after talking for a while, Yan Er Girl let people help them to go to the Fenghuang Dock where Mrs. Yan lived, together with Yan Wu Girl, the mother and her son went to Yan Zike's Tianshui Pavilion with a group of children, and sat there lively and talked.
For a while, the fourth young master Yan and the fourth young master Yan turned over Yan Zike's fishing rod and ran out to the side of the boat to fish, the third young master Yan played chess with the ninth young master, the sixth girl watched from the sidelines, and Yan Qi and Wu Yan sat by the window drinking tea and talking.
"Can the swallow flying bow really shoot that far?" Wu Yan asked Yan Qi with a smile.
"Yes, because arrows are also light. "Yan Qidao.
"Unbelievable," Wu Yan said with a smile, "I'll have time to open my eyes another day." β
"Guess what Saibei native products I brought you?" Yan Qidao.
"Whatever it was, I guess it had to be different. Wu Yan said with a smile.
"You guessed it right," Yan Qidao said, "it's the bow that shot Nadali, the world's first swallow flying bow, produced in the Saibei battlefield." β
Wu Yan's eyebrows moved slightly, and he smiled and stretched out his fist and handed it to Yan Qi's eyes: "This is really the best New Year's gift I have received, thank you." β
Yan Qi also stretched out his fist and touched him: "What about the return gift?"
Wu Yan smiled and stretched out his hand into his arms, Yan Qi couldn't help but say when he saw this: "Are you really ready?" I told you that if it wasn't a big gold ingot of ten catties, I wouldn't want it." β
Wu Yan took out an inconspicuous-looking old wrench of unknown texture, put it on the table in front of Yan Qi, and said with a smile: "It's funny, when my arm was cut off, my first reaction was not to get back my severed limb, but to take off the wrench on my hand first in the chaos." This wrench is the first time I won the horse archery competition when the reward, I have been following me when I was a student, compared to the riding archery, played the comprehensive martial arts, went to the battlefield, has been reluctant to replace, now I can't use it, if you don't dislike it, you can wear it for daily practice archery. β
The first reward I received, the hot-blooded teenager at that time, had great ambitions and good expectations for the future.
Yan Qi put the wrench on his hand, put this thumb up, and said to Wu Yan: "Then from now on, it is up to me to continue to let it witness the glory." 166 Reading Network
