Chapter Twenty-Five: Master, I Am a Martial Artist
"Will it be incompatible!?" the fifth brother repeated softly, he was just a county official at this time, and naturally he couldn't understand the turbulence and helplessness behind these four words, let alone expected that these words would accompany him for most of his political career.
The fifth brother thought in his heart, this will naturally be Tang Bei's burning, and the phase is Wang Yuliang, who ranks first in Jiuqing. The Wang family is a Yicheng family, and there have been people who have been officials in the court for generations, which can be described as deep-rooted.
Tang Beiran was originally a secretary of the ministry, Jing Nan together, there was no general in the court, and the ink of the order to be given to the Lan family in the northwest had not yet dried, and the Lan family's recital went to Beijing first, and the Hu people heard that the domestic chaos immediately took advantage of the situation to attack. Liang Guogong took his eldest son and second son to the bloody battlefield. More than fifty years old, where is there still a young hero, he was seriously wounded in the battle with the enemy, not to mention returning to the division and going north, at this time only three sons were left in the northwest to resist for the time being. Well...... Naturally, this piece will inevitably ask the court for some grain and grass.
Tang Beiran was ordered to be in danger, and before leaving, he took his hand and cried: "Tang Aiqing, I believe that you will be able to exterminate this group of rebellious ministers and thieves this time." And then, and then there was nothing, and he was just thrown out. There are no generals, and the soldiers are not complete, he brought a few young and strong family members as adjutants, fortunately, he had good luck, barely resisted for three months, Xidu also took advantage of the chaos to march into the cold land, King Yi had to divide the troops into two ways, Tang Beiran finally survived.
According to Tang Beiran's thoughts, it was time to take advantage of the morale of the imperial court at this time to be greatly boosted, and the key points everywhere were still fighting back in their own hands. Wang Ge Lao persuaded the emperor: "After all, he is his own uncle, and he has been fighting for many years, and even if he wins, he will have to bear the name of killing his uncle." Why not negotiate peace on this, King Yi can't ask for a fief. The north is bitter and cold, and there are not many products, so he will give him some more, and there is no loss to His Majesty. "The next day, it's all right.
In this way, how can this be compatible?! The fifth brother looked back at Xu Liangqi, and when he saw that he was also looking at him, the two couldn't help but sigh in unison.
It was a night like nothing. Xiaoyu didn't sleep very well, so she got up early in the morning to wash, touched her messy hair at night, and her eyes turned red: "My mother is not around, who will comb my hair." While thinking about it, he arrived in front of the second sister-in-law's car, whispered twice to the second sister-in-law, but there was no sound inside, sighed, and thought about it: "It must be too late to talk to Sister Lu's sister, so it's better to find Sister Lu's girl." ”
Lu Sanniang brought a big maid named Hefeng, and when she saw Xiaoyu combing her hair, she didn't shirk it: "Girl, don't dislike the craftsmanship of slaves and maids." ”
Xiaoyu grinned: "As long as it's neat." ”
He Feng helped Xiaoyu comb a mustache on the top of his head, and the rest of his hair was braided and hung down with a number of small braids, and after combing, he took his own bronze mirror to Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu pursed her lips in the mirror and looked at it for a long time before she said with a smile: "Sister, your craftsmanship is really good, and you can comb it neatly than my mother." ”
Hefeng smiled with a sigh of relief.
Xiaoyu turned around and went back to the car, hurriedly opened the cage, and turned over for a long time before finding an apricot yellow riding suit, and replaced the arrow sleeves worn by the man on his body. He took out his little bronze mirror and looked at it, thinking that this time it looked like that.
Everyone got up one after another and used some breakfast, Xiaoyu saw the second brother, and the fifth brother and the monk inquired about the road and also came over: "Further north from here, the distance between the cities is much farther, and there is no even a smaller county seat, so you can only find some villages or rest in the temple or in the Taoist temple." Fortunately, this place is already the territory of King Yi, even some strong people do not dare to be too rampant, for fear of being sought out by King Yi's soldiers. "Between the words, it seems that he admires King Yi very much.
Xiaoyu quietly asked the second brother in her heart: "Why is this road so smooth, this... How did you get to King Yi's place?"
The second brother touched Xiaoyu's head and said with a smile: "What do you want? King Xing has already secretly communicated with King Yi, and he took the opportunity to expand his fiefdom, and now he can only turn a blind eye." Those in the newspaper were just an occasional appearance, and the two armies got together to deceive Jinshang. ”
The second sister-in-law was accompanied by Lu Sanniang, so she no longer guarded Rulan and refused to let go. The second brother often took Rulan to ride a horse, and gradually Rulan became bolder. If Xiaoyu is tired, when he is bored, he will sit in the carriage and listen to Lu Sanniang and his second sister-in-law talk about the things in the southern capital. It's always Lu Sanniang who talks more, and Xiaoyu and the second sister-in-law listen attentively.
Xiaoyu was worried about her mother's family and asked, "I heard Brother Xu say that there is a Wang family in the capital, and the girls in his family are very powerful?"
Lu Sanniang said with a smile: "Even you know that there is a royal family in the capital, and they are a big family. There are 100 people with the surname Wang in the capital alone, and this is not counting the families and in-laws of each branch of Yicheng. It is not uncommon for one or two of so many people to stand out. ”
Xiaoyu nodded similarly: "Is it better than me?"
Lu Sanniang laughed when she heard this: "We can't compare this, the girl of the Wang family has a queen mother, and a noble concubine today is also a girl from their family." After that, he stroked Xiaoyu's head and said: "My sister is smart and cute after changing into women's clothes, it is better to find a prince and emperor to marry, the girls in the world are not as good as you." ”
Xiaoyu dodged her hand and said angrily: "I will marry an invincible general in the future!"
Lu Sanniang and her second sister-in-law laughed and shamed her. Xiaoyu was not angry, and jumped out of the car to find Yang Baochen: "From now on, you have to follow me to read and write." ”
Yang Baochen saw Xiaoyu running out to play with him, the smile on his face distorted before he could take it back, and said uncomfortably: "Master, I am from martial arts." ”
Xiaoyu glanced at him hatefully, and thought: "This is also an unconscious master, don't let him call the master, but the call is endless." But he said: "You are a martial artist, how to read military books if you can't read." So every time he was sharp, he watched him read and write, Yang Baochen was forced by her to be ruthless, as soon as he saw her, he hated that he was tall, and he couldn't shrink into a few corners so that she couldn't find it.
After walking like this for more than ten days, it was indeed as the monk said, it became less and less easy to encounter the city. Although the pedestrians on the road are not as polite as before, they are exceptionally warm and friendly, and the farmers are not as eager to spring plough as they are in the south. It turns out that the weather here is cold early, warm late, only one season of rice is planted a year, although it is spring ploughing, it is not bad for this day and two days, and the farmers look at it and are idle and comfortable.
Because he was walking all the way north, Xiaoyu only felt that he had lived an incomparably long spring. After walking for many days, I still saw the willow budding, a goose yellow tender green from a distance, and the wildflowers on the side of the road also competed to bloom. Xiaoyu secretly thought in her heart that she would follow this way, and when she arrived in Yanbei, she was afraid that she would be able to enjoy a hundred flowers.
There was no serious place for a few days, and I finally saw a small castle, and there was no serious city wall, but it was just an earthen fort, but there were all kinds of shops in it.
Everyone inquired and found a restaurant, and there was a square white cloth hanging at the door, on which was written a Su Ziquan as a signboard. When I entered the store, I saw more than a dozen tables, and there was not a single guest, let alone Xiao Er. Starling and Chen Peng stood at the door and shouted for a long time before a middle-aged man came out rubbing his eyes and spreading his hair. The brothers ordered the food and called for tea, and the man snorted a few times and was nowhere to be seen.
The group was hungry and thirsty, and after waiting for a while, there was no tea. Xu Liangqi's little guy and Rushan were the youngest, and they couldn't stand it and ran to the back to urge, which Cheng wanted to have a cold pot and a cold stove in the kitchen, and there was not even a single figure. Scared the mountain and the little guy out of the fart, yelling that this was a ghost shop.
Xiaoyu and Fang Zhun were not believers, and when they heard movement in the backyard, they ran over. It turned out that the middle-aged man was hiding in the backyard, and there was a table of eight immortals in the middle of the courtyard, and a large group of people were throwing dice around the table to gamble and play. It's time to have fun at this time, and there's no time to pay attention to them. Fang Zhun called him for a long time, and then he waved his hand impatiently and said, "There is everything on the stove, you can eat whatever you want, don't be polite." ”
Fang Zhun was hungry and uncomfortable, and his temper was not as kind as usual, and when he saw his ---You see where I have time to serve, the anger came up, and his eyes glared at the store with a fierce light. The shopkeeper just didn't raise his head and stared at the dice that were spinning around. Fang Zhun was full of murderous aura, and he didn't realize it at all. Fang Zhun was so angry that he wanted to lift the table, Xiaoyu hurriedly pulled Fang Zhun to the stove room: "Brother Fang, this is nothing, hey, your eyes are so big to see what I do, hum!"
After Xiaoyu finished checking, he pulled Fang Zhun to the front, and said loudly: "The stove in this store is not there, let's get some food by ourselves, Brother Zhao Wu, you come with me." ”
Xiaoyu called Zhao Wu to the stove to light the fire first, boiled some boiling water to make tea, and called a few clever people who brought Xu Liangqi on weekdays: "Little brother is a good eater, you go to the butcher shop you just saw, pick up the fat and thin meat and buy more back, so many of our brothers are waiting for the break." If you have any seasonal vegetables, buy more of them. After the explanation, I called Hefeng and a few people who can stir-fry and cook into the kitchen.
Seeing that she was commanding, everyone seemed to be confident, so they waited patiently with their stomachs.
After a while, the water boiled, the tea leaves were brewed, and Hefeng called Xu Liangqi's family to bring the tea. After drinking a few sips of hot tea, everyone stopped making noise, chatting quietly while waiting for food.
The "stove" on the temporary stove in the kitchen has already fried a few plates of green vegetables, and the cooking on the side turned out some leftover cold buns and took them out to steam, and then served them like water. Everyone walks on the road, and they are not picky, and they already eat sweet when they have a hot meal. He Feng saw it, and was secretly surprised, and said in his heart that this little girl flies eagles and horses on weekdays, and even her starling brother is not as good as her, but she can't imagine it, but she knows it in her heart. looked at the second sister-in-law who was feeding Rulan in the corner, shook her head and sighed.
When the original things on the stove were done, the little maid also took someone to buy meat, and the vegetables came back, and after a while, the stove was full of aroma. Everyone was hungry, and they only felt that this meal was the best one in their lives, and it was not as delicious as the meal that Xiaoyu organized in the country shop. Originally, it was just to give the second brother face, so he looked at Xiaoyu a little higher, and only then was he convinced.
Xiaoyu had nothing bad in Fang Zhun's eyes, and this meal was even more refreshing, followed by Chen Peng's praise for the second brother: "Second brother, it's not my brother, I'm flattering, our brothers are also well-informed outside, I haven't eaten anything, and I've never eaten such a delicious meal." ”
Chen Peng also patted the second brother's shoulder: "Second brother, you sister, my brother is convinced." You can carry a gun when you get on your horse, and you can go into the kitchen when you get off your horse. ”
