Feeling the sudden silence behind him, Yue Xi turned his face, thought about the conversation between the two just now, and immediately understood: the child's father is suspicious again!

She is a person who is accustomed to all kinds of modern firearms, and naturally looks down on this kind of antique-level primitive firearms.

However, she still reached out and took the tube of fire gun from Ying Su's hand, and after a few fake glances, she said, "This is the fire gun, I have also seen three pipes." And why are you so small? It's so big ...... I've seen in Funing," Yue Xi gestured with a fire hammer.

"That's artillery, where's the firecracker." This fire gun is a new thing made by the Shenji Battalion last year, and very few people have seen it, so the lady opened her mouth and said its name, and Ying Su was really suspicious.

After listening to Yue Xi's words, Ying Su immediately felt that he was too careful, and secretly thought: how can the lady say that she is also a woman, she is different from the average boudoir woman, and she will not like this kind of big killer to control the enemy, she likes gold, silver and jewelry is the most normal thing, if she sees this fire gun like Ying Yao's eyes are red when she sees it, then I am the most uneasy!

"Artillery?" Yue Xi looked at the firecracker in his hand again, and continued to pretend to be stupid: "Indeed, this is a little shorter, I thought it was the same thing as the firecracker that existed in the previous dynasty......

The name "Fire Gun" was not created by Ying Su, and it is indeed as Yue Xi said: although the Fire Gun created by the Shenji is very powerful, it is also an improvement on the style and casting materials left by the previous dynasty, and the name "Fire Gun" is still used.

Seeing that the lady couldn't even distinguish between the gun and the artillery, her eyes were only focused on the jewels in the box, and Ying Su lost the interest in showing off.

He still gestured a few times with the firebolt in his hand, imagining the scene of loading the gunpowder and lighting the fuse, and the gunpowder whistling out of the tube, his blood boiled a little!

However......

Ying Su glanced at the lady whose head was stuck in the wooden box and her ass was pouting, he sighed, quite a bit melancholy that was hard to find.

"These are all mine?" Yue Xi asked with a grin.

"It's all yours." Ying Su helped her up with one hand, and gently put the fire gun in his hand in the box: "This box of things has probably been seen by a few people." The lady just likes it and doesn't let others see it again. ”

Yue Xi had a close relationship with Princess Xian, and Ying Su didn't know if Ying Yao had shown these things to Princess Xian, or told the lady a few words.

"Understood!" Yue Xi squeezed his eyes sneakily: "Make a fortune in a muffled voice, I won't tell anyone!" ”

Ying Suyi raised his eyebrows and said in his heart: These things were originally moved out of my courtyard, but they entered your warehouse from my warehouse...... It's not a fortune either...... However, it's good if the lady is happy!

……

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Ying Su did not return to Xixiang Village, but asked someone to send a letter back.

The content of the letter was simple: the queen mother was seriously ill.

Yue Xi read it once, put the letter paper in the envelope, and threw it directly into the charcoal brazier.

Since His Majesty the Emperor didn't send a message to her, she just didn't want anyone to know about this news, and naturally she wouldn't let anyone see it.

"It's going to take a few more days to see you......" Yue Xi said softly, looking at the flames that suddenly rose in the brazier.

The emperor's husband and wife are not as comfortable as ordinary people.

……

On the twenty-ninth day of the new year, one day before the Chinese New Year's Eve, two people surnamed Ye took Caishou's son and a family of three to Xixiang Village in the snow.

Yue Xi was busy in the kitchen with a group of women's soldiers, preparing dry food and braised vegetables and snacks to be eaten during the New Year...... However, the master chef who cooks rice on weekdays has fallen to the point of getting started.

The master is not from the imperial capital, his family is poor, and his parents sold him to Renyazi when he was very young.

He thinks he's right!

When I was a child, I only had one word left in my head: hunger!

He didn't even remember what his parents looked like, so naturally he couldn't think about it.

After a few rounds, he was eventually sold into a liquor store as an apprentice and a miscellaneous worker. Although I don't have a penny of wages, I can always eat enough.

Later, Yue Xi asked Zheng Baocai to find a safe person to cook in the house, and Zheng Baocai recommended him: "This person has good skills, is capable, and can eat!" Brother, as long as you can manage him to eat and drink enough, he can work in your house for the rest of his life. ”

Yue Xi never felt sorry for people to eat and drink, nor was he greedy and stingy.

After a while, Yue Xi felt that the master's hands and feet were neat and clean, and he didn't say much, so he left him and asked Gao Gonggong to pay him for work every month.

The master not only ate well in Yue's Mansion, but also ate well, and at the end of the house, he was grateful to Dade and stayed in Yue's Mansion wholeheartedly, managing three meals a day for this large family, and occasionally learned one or two fresh dishes from Yuexi.

The kitchen was occupied by a few women led by the head of the house, and it was not easy for him to work in the house. The master was instructed by Yue Xi to come out and squat at the door to kill chickens!

"The water is just boiling, watch out for hot hands." Xiuzhu took out a bucket of boiling water and put it at the master's feet, and said casually.

The master kept his head down and kept silent, and concentrated on smearing the knife on the neck of the feathered chicken, and took the steaming chicken blood into a wooden basin with salt water, until there was no more blood dripping from the cut wound, and then he threw the dead chicken on the snow.

Looking up at the door of the kitchen and sneaking two glances, he quickly lowered his head and grabbed a chicken from the chicken coop, pinned the chicken neck with one hand, plucked the feathers on the chicken neck twice with his right hand, and stabbed it again...... Taking advantage of the kung fu master who received the chicken blood, he secretly thought: Sister Xiuzhu has a good temper and her voice is so good...... If only I could get it back and be a daughter-in-law...... If only she wanted to...... I gave her all the wages I had saved, and I didn't keep a penny......

Father-in-law Gao walked from the front yard to the door of the kitchen, and when he saw the master of the tall horse holding a knife in one hand and shining it on the neck of the chicken, he immediately had a weird smile on his face, and Father-in-law Gao immediately rubbed his throat with his hand and swallowed and spit.

"Don't be in a daze, the guests have arrived in the house, you should hurry up!" Gonggong Gao stopped and instructed the man who was thinking about something good.

"Whoa!" The master raised his head and smiled at Gonggong Gao: "It will be killed in a while, and when the hair is removed, it will be disemboweled, it will not take half an hour, you can come and see it again, and you will be neat and tidy!" ”

"Under the root of the year, don't say the word 'kill', it's unlucky!" Gao Gonggong frowned and instructed.

"Oh." The master smiled good-naturedly again: "I'll kill these chickens later, and I won't be able to delay it!" ”

Grandpa Gao shook his head and went into the kitchen, really too lazy to say another word to him.

"Boss." On the edge of the steaming stove, Grandpa Gao leaned over to Yue Xi, who was in the drawer, and said, "Master Ye and Master are here!" ”

"Reckoning that they should also arrive." A drawer of bean buns that had just come out of the cage was placed on the table, Yue Xi reached out and pinched it and nodded with satisfaction: "The heat is just right!" ”

"Hurry up and bring down the drawer on the fire...... "Halfway through the words, a half-sized man had already rushed in from the outside, and hugged Yue Xi with the cold air around him: "Daddy......"

"Hello?!"

The two of them have been separated for a long time this time, and they suddenly met, and both parties were stunned!

Xilai's mouth flattened, and her eyes were red and she looked at her: "You used to call me my son......"

"Oops...... Why is it that the older you are, the more coquettish you are......" Yue Xi raised his hand and twisted his face, then stretched out his arms and hugged Xilai into his arms, hugging him hard: "Son, do you miss me?" I've missed you for a long time! ”

"I want to ......" Xilai wanted to bury his face in Yue Xi's arms like he did in the past, and he also shrank his head and tried it, only to find that he had grown taller than his father's chin!

If such a big person is lying in his father's arms, it is not very good-looking......

After thinking about it, Xilai still gently rested his head on Yue Xi's shoulder, and when he met the gaze cast by Gao Gonggong, he blushed, and then closed his eyes.

For this little boy who has been raised as a girl since he was a child, he has always hidden a delicate nature that belongs to the characteristics of a girl. This delicateness was well hidden by him in front of others, but in the face of Yue Xi, the little girl who lived in Xilai's body quietly appeared, he was not afraid of exposing himself in front of Yue Xi, whether it was good or bad, Xilai would naturally show it in front of Yue Xi.

For him, Yuexi is like a father and a mother.

"Let me see!" Yue Xi pulled the half-grown son in her arms and let him stand face to face with her, and then she looked at him carefully from top to school: "Son, why did you grow up so fast...... Daddy still thinks you're so tall......"

She gestured her hand on her chest and shook her head with infinite emotion: "But ah, son, the longer you grow, the more you look like your father, beautiful!" ”

In the smoke, several women in the kitchen looked at each other meaninglessly, and shook their heads collectively: If this is heard by His Majesty, I am afraid that the two of them will be angry! How can it be said that the son of another family is born like himself......

"Have you seen your mother? Your mother and your sister arrived yesterday. Yue Xi leaned over and whispered in Xilai's ear: "When I saw your mother, I talked to her more, but she didn't talk to you less, and made you several new clothes......

"Hmm." Xilai lowered his head and replied sullenly. Then he immediately looked up and saluted the women in the kitchen, "Hello aunts! Xilai was rude......"

"It's right to see your daddy first!" Jin Niang came over and stuffed a steaming bean bag into his hand, and said to Yue Xi with a smile: "Master Feng's teaching is really good, we are happy to grow and can speak!" ”

"Your master and brothers are here too?" Hearing what Jin Niang said, Yue Xi asked with a smile.

As soon as the Huagai Mountain arrives in winter, it is very cold, and the heavy snow covers the mountain until the middle of spring of the following year. It is very inconvenient to live in such an environment, so Yue Xi sent a letter to Feng Jizong on the mountain early, asking him to take the people from the mountain to the mountain to spend the winter.

Therefore, not long after the autumn, Feng Jizong led a kind of person down the mountain and lived in the shop of the Cixian Daping Bureau.

It's just that their seclusion is quite unnoticeable, and even the neighbors around the Taiping Bureau don't know that there are suddenly more than a dozen people next door!
