Chapter 053: Brother Monkey
In the city of Liangzhou, suddenly, the wind rose.
Blowing through the Yingxue Lake in the palace, setting off ripples, scraping through the cornices of Liangzhou houses, blowing away the white hair of Xu Xiao, the king of Xiliang, wrinkling the corners of Baoyu's clothes, and finally playing two spins in front of the stone statue of Princess Bai Su, disappeared.
Xu Xiao, the king of Xiliang, was laughing, and Baoyu was also laughing shallowly, without the slightest embarrassment and nervousness, as if this pair of father and son, who had little contact, were emotionally synchronized in an instant, thinking about the same thing in their hearts.
But Lin Wan'er opened her mouth and cried with a whimper, her tears were like beads with broken threads, crackling and falling, and the golden beans couldn't stop one by one.
She wanted to scold and reproach King Xiliang for a few words, and said a few cruel words in a weird manner: "The powerful King of Xiliang, take a good look at Baoyu, I have brought it to you after all the hardships." However, we will go back to the capital immediately, and you, you, never want to see Baoyu again, because we will never come to Xiliang again, hum. ”
Lin Wan'er remembered the "unfair treatment" she had received since she was cold, and she was also extremely aggrieved and angry, the dignified King of Xiliang couldn't protect his own children, which was really hateful.
But as soon as she saw the scene of Xu Xiao and Baoyu meeting, Lin Wan'er's fragile little heart seemed to be gently pinched, and tears fell uncontrollably, and the more she cried, the louder she became.
Everyone's eyes were attracted to Lin Wan'er, watching her wipe her tears there, crying so sadly.
Zhao Qian couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly, raised his eyebrows, took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it over: "Don't cry." Here, wipe your nose quickly, it's a shame to look like this. ”
Lin Wan'er didn't take the handkerchief. glanced at Zhao Gan: "You cold-blooded people, don't you see how touching the scene just now is?" It's normal for me to cry, but you're not normal. ”
In a word, he killed a large number of people with the posture of sweeping thousands of troops, and by the way, Xu Xiao, the king of Xiliang, and Wei Song, the tiger bear, were also summarized.
Zhao Gan muttered in his heart: "It's okay to cry, but you don't have to open your mouth and cry to the sky." ”
Baoyu walked up to Lin Wan'er and gently tugged at the corner of the eldest sister's clothes: "Eldest sister, don't cry." Cry again. It's not beautiful. ”
"Baoyu, your words are becoming less and less pleasing to the eldest sister." Lin Wan'er squatted down and pulled Baoyu into her arms. wiped the tears on her face with the sleeves of Baoyu's shirt, "The eldest sister is eyes crying into walnuts, and that is also the beauty of pear blossoms with rain." ”
Baoyu nodded busily, and said with a clever flattery: "What the eldest sister said is very true. It's the abruptness of being a younger brother. ”
Xu Xiao, the king of Xiliang, heard this pair of sisters and brothers who were not related by blood chatting like this. There was a smile in his heart, but there was a hint of bitterness, and he didn't know where Yun Feng was now?
Holding Baoyu's little hand, Lin Wan'er walked up to Xu Xiao from not far away and sighed: "It's not easy to see you, you have become a prince, and you still can't help yourself, it's quite aggrieved." Here. Baoyu I brought it. But I'm going to be ugly. When I go back to Beijing, I want to take Baoyu with me, and you can't stop me. ”
A few little maids who specialized in serving Xu Xiao's food, clothing, and daily life heard that Lin Wan'er dared to speak to the prince so unceremoniously, and anger swelled in their eyes, the prince has a noble status and a good temper, but he can't tolerate you, an outsider, to talk like this.
Xu Xiao didn't care, smiled and waved his hand: "It's better for Baoyu to stay by Miss Wan'er's side." ”
"Well, that's good." Lin Wan'er nodded with satisfaction, "That, let's prepare breakfast for our group of guests who have come from all over the world, I'm hungry, I don't need to be too rich, ten dishes plus one soup." I haven't been sleeping well lately, and I'm going to get some sleep when I get a good room. By the way, I have a problem, I recognize the bed, the pillow must be soft, otherwise I can't sleep deeply. ”
Xu Xiao smiled and responded one by one, he knew that this was Lin Wan'er's intention to leave, leaving time for himself and Baoyu to be alone: "Miss Wan'er, although you eat and sleep well, the palace has specially prepared a banquet to welcome your guests at night, and Miss Wan'er must come at that time." ”
"Banquet?" As soon as she heard that there was a lively scene, Lin Wan'er was shocked, as if she remembered something important, and hurriedly said: "I won't do poetry when the time comes." ”
What annoyed her the most was that during the banquet, she fluttered, and suddenly jumped out of a person, her face was full of red light, she bent over with her fists, and respectfully asked herself to make poems, as if she had become the standard for banquet poems. Originally, she ate well, but she lost her appetite all of a sudden, and she spoiled the scenery, which was like this at the Halloween Festival, and at the banquet in Jing'an Palace, she didn't want to come to Xiliang to be like this.
"Haha, all of them are Yiwan'er girls." Xu Xiao couldn't help laughing, and his eyes gestured to Wei Song.
Wei Song nodded slightly, turned his head, and walked in front with a bold move, leaving everyone with a burly and tall back, completely without the consciousness of the guests first, this is probably the style of the tiger bear Wei Song, and he can't change it in his life.
Baoyu is still young after all, and she is a little reluctant in her heart, having the eldest sister behind her is a scene, and being alone with Xu Xiao is another thing, and she shouted timidly: "Eldest sister." ”
Lin Wan'er turned her head and glared: "I'm so old, and I'm still sticking to my eldest sister, stay here for me." After speaking, he kept up with Wei Song's pace without looking back.
A group of 200 people followed Lin Wan'er again, leaving only Baoyu and Xu Xiao, the king of Xiliang, standing in front of the vegetable garden.
After a moment of silence, Xu Xiao pointed to the vegetable garden beside him and said, "Why don't we water this vegetable garden?" ”
Baoyu looked up at the vegetable garden and nodded, he hadn't done farm work yet, and he thought it was funny.
Xu Xiao walked to the well with the bucket, made a bucket of water with the small wooden bucket that had been prepared and poured it into the bucket, and glanced at Baoyu, who was eager to try: "Why don't you try it too?" ”
Baoyu nodded heavily, threw the small wooden bucket into the well with both hands, waited for the small wooden bucket to be filled with water, held the rope tightly with both hands, pouted the little buttocks and pulled the small wooden bucket up, as if deliberately performing in front of Xu Xiao, tremblingly picked up the small wooden bucket, and walked two steps to the bucket with difficulty. Before pouring the water from the small wooden bucket into the bucket, the little face was red with exhaustion, and sweat was oozing from his brows.
Seeing Baoyu so stubborn and strong. Xu Xiao was very grateful to Lin Wan'er for Baoyu's education, and did not dot on Baoyu too much, although Baoyu's physique was thin, but her strength was not small: "It seems that your eldest sister often lets you exercise on weekdays." ”
Wiping the sweat on her face, Baoyu made a bitter face: "I don't exercise, it's just that the eldest sister often asks me and Yubao to pinch her shoulders and rub her legs." It took more than half an hour to rub it, but I was tired, and my strength was also trained. ”
Xu Xiao laughed silently. It seems that Lin Wan'er's way of educating children is not very clever.
Lin Wan'er is such a person, strict with others, lenient with herself, and with diligence as her motto. But take laziness as a practical action. He often boasts that he is humble and benevolent, but in fact he is rude and willful, loves to make jokes about others, but does not allow others to make jokes about himself, and has a vicious mouth, but he boasts that he is left and right, never offends people, and thinks he is gentle and virtuous. But in the eyes of others, he is arbitrary, and he thinks that money is like dung. But in his heart and mirror, money and dung are clearly divided, and he thinks he is thoughtful and well-planned, but a tendon covers from the heavenly spirit to the soles of his feet, and he is spacious enough to gallop eight high-headed horses running side by side.
But it's such a person who has more shortcomings than advantages is not annoying, but thinks it's really funny.
After fetching the water, Baoyu came to the vegetable garden with a bucket, gently scooped up a scoop of water, watered it on the cabbage roots that had just greened, and then squatted in front of the cabbage, looking seriously at the black earth like a sponge slowly sucking the water.
Xu Xiao looked at Baoyu in full swing, extremely satisfied, and said with a smile: "Your eldest sister is a good person. ”
He did not see Baoyu as a child, nor as his own son, but as an adult who could talk to each other on an equal footing, and some things could be discussed.
This was unthinkable more than ten years ago, he was rude when he opened his mouth, and every time he saw his son Xu Yunfeng, he always shouted: "Son, come to Dad, let Dad see if the cock has grown up?" But looking at his relationship with Yun Feng now, he began to wonder if his education method was wrong.
He could think of some of Yun Feng's thoughts, and he also knew that Yun Feng wanted to be the king of Xiliang, and he must be the king of Xiliang, lead the Xiliang army, and plot bigger things, but he was powerless and helpless, he could only watch Yun Feng step by step towards the situation he least wanted to see.
Hearing Xu Xiao's comment that the eldest sister was a good person, Baoyu was not the slightest happy, but said with some annoyance: "Need you talk about this? Of course, my eldest sister is a good person, and she is the best person in the world! ”
Whenever someone says that there is a trace of the eldest sister in the words, even if the praise is not in place, and the words are not enough, Baoyu feels unhappy, no matter who you are.
"Ahh Lin Wan'er, who was walking on the road, couldn't help but sneeze and rubbed her nose: "I don't know who is saying bad things about me behind my back, let me know that he must make him look good." ”
Zhao Qian walked a few steps quickly and kept up with Lin Wan'er's pace: "You speculate on others with the greatest malice, maybe people will praise you again." ”
"Praise me? Praise me behind your back? It was of no use, and I could not hear it, and I could not even leave a thought. I think whoever praises me behind my back is a big fool. Lin Wan'er gushed endlessly, and invisibly satirized King Xiliang and Baoyu again, Wei Song in front of her stopped, she didn't know it, and she accidentally bumped into the other party, as if she had hit an iron plate.
Zhao Gan hurriedly supported her, Lin Wan'er stroked her head with one hand, looked up, obediently, this kitchen is really big, bright and spacious, and you can vaguely hear the sound of kitchen knives inside.
Wei Song said sorry apologetically, turned sideways, and made an invitation with one hand: "Miss Wan'er, please." ”
Gently pushing open the door of the palace kitchen, Lin Wan'er saw at a glance that her mouth had grown into a big O-shape, and the two rows of tables were neatly arranged, which could accommodate no less than a thousand people.
"Miss Wan'er, if you are wronged for the time being, let's pay attention to it first, and then wait for the dinner party to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Miss Wan'er." Wei Song said.
The scenery of Xiliang Wangfu is beautiful and the layout is elegant, but the highest specification is the kitchen, and this qiē is "blamed" on His Royal Highness Xu Yunfeng, His Royal Highness has a hobby of collecting, likes to collect famous knives, likes to collect beautiful women, and also likes to collect cooks.
Lin Wan'er hurriedly waved her hand: "Don't be wronged, not wronged." She swallowed her hand without a trace: "Brother Wei, hurry up and let them serve the food." ”
Wei Song smiled and nodded.
There are four people at a table, Lin Wan'er, Zhao Gan, Li Mubai and Splash Monkey at a table, Lin Wan'er holds chopsticks in both hands, jingling and knocking on the bowl in front of her, and the little monkey jumps around with the rhythm, so unexpected.
After a while, the meals came up one by one.
Lin Wan'er was stunned and looked at the ten dishes and one soup on the table: "I just said it casually, I didn't expect that there were really ten dishes and one soup, just a breakfast, and I didn't need it so much." Having said that, she was already flying and feasting.
When everyone saw Lin Wan'er like this, the doubts in their hearts were also put down, such as whether there was any drug or poison in this meal, and in the palace, the tight string in everyone's hearts never relaxed. Lin everyone tried the meal by themselves, it was really amazing, and they were the backbone of everyone. In the atmosphere of the "wrong" foodie Lin Wan'er, everyone also moved their chopsticks.
The meal was very happy, Lin Wan'er swept away the spicy Sichuan dish mapo tofu, and cheekily brought the mapo tofu on the table next door, another storm, and finally ended with a bowl of sweet but not greasy millet porridge, which was considered a complete merit, and a breakfast was just right.
Just finished eating, Wei Song led people to push the door in, and many little maids came in with brand-new clothes.
Wei Song was followed by the old woman with excellent skills, and treated Wei Song with great respect, she respected Wei Song, but she was really not very interested in His Royal Highness the prince and Sima Qi, and the eldest husband should stand up to the sky and dare to act.
Walking in front of Lin Wan'er, Wei Song said softly: "Miss Wan'er, the palace has prepared some clean clothes. ”
The little maid distributed the clothes, and the old woman distributed the clothes proudly, and when she arrived at Lin Wan'er's table, she bowed slightly, and handed the clothes to Lin Wan'er, Zhao Gan and Li Mubai with both hands.
When the monkey saw the old woman's eyes, he was a little abnormal, hiding and hiding, leaning sideways slightly, not allowing himself to face the old woman.
The old woman handed her clothes to the monkey, her face showed a stronger doubt, in front of the palace the old woman showed a trace of doubt on her face, now close observation, the doubt in her heart is even worse, this person is very similar to him when he was young, the person who met in the rivers and lakes and forgot about each other in the rivers and lakes.
Taking advantage of the moment when she handed over the clothes, she asked tentatively with some uncertainty: "Brother Monkey?" (To be continued......)
