Chapter Thirty-Seven: Wind and Rain

A few days later, the remote courtyard ushered in the first guest in so many years except for the Dugu family, Yuwen Yanshu looked at the shallow boy standing in front of the courtyard gate in surprise, screamed in surprise, and quickly stepped on the blooming flowers and ran over, and the delicate and fresh petals fell like broken jade gems.

"Big brother. Yuwen Yanshu fell into Yuwen Zhihong's arms, and the eldest brother's already long body looked even thinner and thinner.

was hit by her like this, Yuwen Zhihong almost fell down. But when she saw the little girl who was clutching his clothes tightly and crying, she couldn't help but grin and laugh out loud. The sound was mellow, and the birds on the branches of the trees fluttered into the sky, and the unhappiness of the past few days seemed to fly out of the clouds at this moment.

"Let's go home. ”

"Hey!" Yuwen Yanshu smiled, and even the bright sunshine was slightly inferior. Dugu Ling rolled her eyes to the sky on the side, look, no matter how good you treat other people's girls, she is still a girl from other people's families, as soon as she sees her eldest brother, she throws her cousin who takes care of her aside and ignores it, sure enough, it is three thousand miles away.

The panic when the road was swept away, Yuwen Yanshu's mood was light and flying like the catkins flying everywhere in the air in the May day, all the way to the new things passing by around Xiàn full of interest, flying around happily like a little bird, taking the things that he couldn't put down, Yuwen Zhihong followed behind and paid with a smiling face.

"Brother, brother. Halfway through a street, Yuwen Yanshu suddenly turned back as if he finally remembered that he was still followed by his eldest brother, hanging on the eldest brother's arm and shouting delicately one by one, looking at him with a beautiful jade face and smirking but no other words.

Yuwen Zhihong's heart suddenly softened into the goose down of March, his sister, the only little cute person in the world who has the same blood flowing in his body.

The picker put the heavy goods, stood on the side of the road to rest, and chatted with the busy hawkers.

"Erlang of the goods, you can go to the north this autumn, help me bring some goods back." ”

The picker fanned the wind with the hem of his clothes and shouted: "No, I heard that there will be a war over there this year, and I can't outrun those arrows on my two legs, horse." ”

The peddler laughed: "Yo, it's quite a shame, your little life is worth a few dollars." ”

"Haha, if you are poor, this life is worth it, let's watch it. ”

Most of the things that were copied in the general's mansion have been returned, and there are craftsmen in the damaged place "Ping Pong" holding tools to knock and knock non-stop, and Yu Wenyi, who is frowning, is pacing back and forth in the living room alone, and he has a rare smile when he sees them come back.

"Dad-" Yuwen Yanshu flew into the living room with Aijiao's voice, "Dad, are you okay?" ”

"Daddy is fine, how can Daddy be fine? But my baby, you have suffered, and you have lost a lot of weight. Yu Wenyi caressed her daughter's tender cheeks lovingly, but it was only two or three days, and his heart and liver baby, who looked at a ball of joy, lost so much weight all of a sudden, and the thin meat seemed to be the meat on his body, and he was distressed.

Yuwen Yanshu was coquettish in Yuwenyi's arms like a little loach, pouting and complaining: "No, my cousin won't let me go out, but it suffocates me." ”

Yu Wenyi pretended to be angry and said: "This bad guy, he actually bullied my daughter like this, wait for your father to help you teach him a lesson, okay?"

Dugu Ling, who was playing chess with his grandfather in the Prime Minister's Mansion, suddenly sneezed, rubbed his nose and looked at the sun shining in the sky, could it be cold in such weather.

Dugu Ye grabbed a sunspot between his fingers, stroked his beard and said leisurely: "You were tired after a busy night last night, go and rest." ”

"Yes. Dugu Ling hurriedly got up and respectfully withdrew from Yunlin Xiaozhu, playing chess with his grandfather was really a lot of brains, no wonder his colleagues in the DPRK and China privately called him an old fox, after this game of chess, the energy spent on sleeping a few times could not make up for it.

"Huh?" Xiao Jing, who was cleaning up the room, suddenly saw a dark eye, and a soft thing blindfolded his eyes, and the condition was about to launch an attack, but in an instant, the unique fragrance of the daughter's house surrounded the tip of his nose.

In a good mood: "Shu'er." ”

"Cut, it's boring. Yuwen Yanshu took his hand and stood aside, puffing out his unhappiness.

Xiao Jing looked at her and smiled, he was not good at words, but experience told him that if he didn't call out her name at the first time, the consequences would not be something that could be dismissed with just one or two sentences. After so many years of getting along, the bits and pieces of life have already penetrated each other's bone marrow, and the other party's every move, with a look, you can clearly understand his thoughts and know what to do next.

"Miss me?" Yuwen Yanshu put his arms around Xiao Jing's neck, looking at his angular handsome face greedily, and sure enough, he didn't see him for a day.

Xiao Jing tapped the tip of her nose with her free hand and said with a smile: "You shameless little girl." Seeing Yuwen Yanshu pursed his lips with the intention of being angry, he immediately said, "Of course I want to." ”

Except for Xiao Jingqi, who entered the palace in the name of serving the queen, all returned safely. Bai Rouxin's originally arrogant face was like an eggplant beaten by frost after this unwarranted disaster, no amount of rouge and gouache could cover her haggardness, and her eyes were dull when she sat at the table, and there were obviously a lot fewer words.

Xiao Jing?, as always, helped Yuwen Yanshu pick what she liked to eat, every time he saw her eating happily, the corners of his mouth would involuntarily turn up, Yuwen Yi suddenly reached out and touched Yuwen Yanshu's little head who was eating happily, and a rare warm smile appeared on his face. Yuwen Yanshu took something in his mouth, half raised his head and smirked at his father, and then buried his head and continued to struggle.

After the meal, Bai Rouxin returned to her room early to rest. The others moved to the pavilion in the courtyard to enjoy the cool pastime. Yuwen Yi was in a good mood, maybe it was because of alcohol, and he shouted hard to let Yuwen Zhihong take the purple bamboo jade flute that he had treasured for decades. Yuwen Zhihong didn't dare to disobey, and respectfully took the jade flute and handed it over.

Yuwen Yanshu leaned on Xiao Jing's body curiously, she grew so big and never knew that she only knew how to march and fight on the battlefield Yu Wenyi would actually have such a Yaxing, the cold and hard iron and blood taste honed on his body in the battlefield seemed to be not very harmonious with this small wind instrument. Looking closely at his fingers, the joints are thick, and the palms between the fingers are thick calluses due to the perennial holding of the sword. In any case, I dare not imagine how such a pair of rough hands can press the correct tone and flow out pleasant music.

But the eyes will prove the facts, and the ears will appreciate themselves. The sound of the flute whimpered, curling like silk, and the entanglement spread out like bursts of moist pine waves layer upon layer, putting a transparent veil on such a silent night, ethereal and changing.

Yuwen Yanshu has not slept well for several days because of fear, but at this moment, he only feels that the sound of the flute is beautiful, and he can't help but feel sleepy in Xiao Jing's arms for a few days.

Yu Wenyi stopped the sound of the flute, handed the jade flute to the housekeeper Hu beside him, hugged his daughter and placed it on his lap, coaxed her to sleep like she was very young, and sighed in her heart: Time flies, in a blink of an eye, he and Rong'er's second child are eleven years old, and in a few years, he, as a father, will no longer be able to hold her like this. Looking at Xiao Jing next to him, his heart was soft, this child grew up by himself, and he was as open-minded as his father, and he was indeed worthy of trust.

"I don't know if I can come back this time, I originally wanted to come back this time and retire my relatives, and in another two or three years, I will do your business, I also counted a matter of heart, who knew that the Liu family was so untrustworthy. ”

Xiao Jing's face was slightly red: "General, this matter ......" He will not comfort people, some helplessly rubbing his hands, saying that he is not in a hurry, he actually wishes to get married now, so as not to see those wolf-like young talents in Jingshi, jealous, and urgent, and in this case, he can't speak.

"You are the main marriage, father, others can be lazy, but you can't do it alone. Yuwen Zhihongqiang said with a smile.

"Hehe, yes, I'm the officiant. Yu Wenyi also smiled, with a look of shame: "I'm sorry for three people in my life, one is your mother, but it's a pity that she has gone, and this love has to be returned in the next life." One is that Liu Xinyun is now Concubine Xian Niangniang, it was really a last resort to lie to her back then, but what should have been paid off has already been paid off, Hong'er, if I don't come back, you will be the master to withdraw from this family business, I can't let the grievances of our previous generation involve you. ”

"General......

"Dad, what are you doing here?" Yuwen Zhihong frowned, and seemed to hear the meaning of Tuo Gu from his father's words, which was not a good sign for a general who was about to fight.

Yu Wenyi waved his hand and motioned for them to listen to him: "I have always prided myself on being loyal to the monarch and patriotic, but now I have done such a thing, it is a great crime, I am sorry for the careful cultivation of the saint for many years, and I am even more ashamed of the ancestors of the Yuwen family." Dad has nothing else to ask for in this life, he is counting on seeing your brothers and sisters start a family, but unfortunately God can't even realize this wish. Yu Wenyi said and laughed helplessly.

In the laughter, Yuwen Zhihong noticed for the first time that his father was really old, wrinkles silently climbed on his face, and his majestic and burly body was also rickety. Time ruined his body, and he kept holding on, but this incident made him full of disappointment in this court, and he did not hesitate to take advantage of the weakness to occupy his body.

As a courtier, the king is the outline. For the people in the palace, this is just an inconsequential misunderstanding, and it will be safe to clarify the facts, but for the wronged people, it is like a bolt from the blue. They have been away all the year round, and every time they pick up arms, they are telling themselves to defend their home and country, and they have not been in contact with this treacherous political war for many years, and suddenly find that the treasures they are guarding are showing a hideous face to themselves.
