Chapter 63: The General

The old man saw that although Li Luan'er was weak and delicate, she was very neat in her work.

Looking at her dress, I also knew that she was a diligent and active person, not such a lazy person, so she smiled and said: "Little lady, you're busy, come and sit." ”

"Alas!" Li Luan'er agreed, and took out the snacks that Li Feng'er had brought to her when she went out and handed them to the old man: "This is prepared by my sister Tete and me, you can always taste it." ”

The old man took it and took a look, this dim sum was really exquisitely made, the same mung bean flour cake, the same osmanthus nectar cake, and a fried dumpling, all of them were small and exquisite, and they smelled good: "Your sister's hand is so skillful." ”

Li Luan'er sat down in front of the old man and poured herself a cup of tea: "You always say that you are wrong, this is what my brother did, not my brother, I like these things in the kitchen." ”

"It's a rare thing." The old man didn't think it was wrong for the man to enter the kitchen, nodded with a smile, pinched a piece of dim sum and tasted it: "This tastes really good, your brother is a skillful man." ”

"You're getting too old." Li Luan'er took a sip of tea: "Old man, you are also from this Phoenix County." ”

"Not really." The old man smiled and folded his face: "I, my ancestral home is our Phoenix County, but I haven't come back for many years, and I used to fight in the north and south when I was young, and I didn't have a time to return to my hometown. ”

Li Luan'er saw that the old man drank a bowl of tea, and gave him another bowl: "This is what people often say about the young and the eldest who leaves home, this time when you come back, you have to take a good turn, and see if this hometown has changed." ”

"Well, you have to take a good look." The old man sat in the shade of the tree drinking tea and eating snacks, and Li Luan'er chatted with him, but he was very leisurely: "Little lady, I listen to you speak very elegantly, you should be a literate person." ”

Li Luan'er nodded: "My father is a Xiucai, and I have studied with him for a few years." ”

"It's rare." The old man smiled and nodded: "The little lady is polite and elegant, presumably Ling Zun must be a talented learner, and when he is empty, he wants to see him." ”

"You don't see you anymore." Li Luan'er smiled bitterly: "My father has been dead for many years. ”

"It's old, isn't it?" The old man was shocked, and then apologized to Li Luan'er: "I mentioned the sadness of the little lady." ”

"What's this?" Li Luan'er hurriedly waved his hand: "The deceased is gone, the living are always alive, when my father is here, we are filial piety, he is gone, we put him in our hearts, live our own lives, live happily every day, he knows and is happy." ”

"The little lady said this well." The old man laughed and gave a thumbs up: "The little lady is so open-minded." ”

"You're too much of a prize." Li Luan'er sat down and bowed: "You are always well-informed, I don't know how much more knowledge in my heart than us, I'm just an axe." ”

As he was talking, he heard a panic outside, the sound of horses' hooves, the sound of footsteps, the shouting of men, and the frightened shouts of passers-by......

Li Luan'er was startled, stood up suddenly, turned around and walked out.

The old man was not much slower than hers, and he put down his bowl and stood up and walked out.

I didn't go far, I saw the old man riding in the carriage, the horse was shocked, and he was running to the official road after earning the rope, but it happened that there were pedestrians passing by on the official road at this time, a few children were playing while walking, an old man riding a donkey home, and a few little ladies were walking on the side of the road.

The old man's attendant was trying to hold the horse, but the horse was running too fast, and they couldn't run anywhere.

Seeing that the horse was about to hit a few little ladies on the side of the road, Li Luan'er was startled, and she couldn't take care of much, she ran at a fast speed, grabbed the reins of the horse with great force, and shouted: "Woo ......"

Li Luan'er tugged at the reins of the horse, but the horse somehow didn't obey the call, and raised its front hooves and struggled hard.

"Ah......h

Her scream was even better, and the horse was even more frightened and struggled desperately, trying to break free from Li Luan'er's control.

It was really impossible, Li Luan'er dragged the horse, shifted to the horse's head, stretched out her left hand, and punched the horse's front door.

Then he heard a thud, and the horse fell to the ground with a scream.

"You ......" The middle-aged man in dark clothes who followed the old man stepped forward and stared at Li Luan'er, not knowing whether to thank Li Luan'er for subduing the startled horse, or to scold her for killing the old man's horse at will.

"Wu Xuan!" The old man's voice came, the old man stepped forward a few steps, squatted down to look at the horse that had reached the end of his life foaming at the mouth, and then looked at Li Luan'er: "The little lady is good at martial arts." ”

Li Luan'er tugged at her clothes, wiped her hair again, and saluted Nana: "You are too old to win awards, I just have the strength to do it." ”

"Haha." The old man laughed loudly: "This strength is unusual. ”

After laughing, the old man went to see the children again, and asked Wu Xuan to take the copper money and the children and a few little ladies to suppress the shock, he acted politely and thoughtfully, personally apologized to the little ladies, and chatted with the old man on the donkey, and saw that everyone was not injured, which was a sigh of relief.

Turning around, the old man looked at Li Luan'er: "I didn't expect that there are such strange people as the little lady in my Phoenix County, I can see it today, it is really my luck, I have to meet the little lady, I am happy, I have to be empty, I must have a few drinks with the little lady." ”

"I'm also happy to meet your old man, I have time, I will definitely have a few drinks with you, but I can ask you to treat me when the time comes." Li Luan'er said with a smile, her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and the old man who was watching nodded straightly: "Okay, good." ”

After laughing, the old man said again: "It's not too early, we are going to enter the city, I don't know where the little lady's family lives, and the old man will come to visit another day." ”

Li Luan'er said strangely: "Does your family live in Fenghuang County, what a coincidence, I also live in the city, which street and alley does your family live in?" ”

"Speaking of which, the little lady must know." The old man replied with a smile: "My house is in Yanjia Hutong in the west of the city. ”

Yanjia Hutong?

Li Luan'er stared at the old man in surprise with round eyes: "You are General Yan?" ”

"Exactly." The old man nodded and admitted: "I am happy to talk to the little lady today, we are all villagers, if the little lady has anything to do in the future, just go to Yan's house to find me." ”

"That's for sure." Li Luan'er really didn't expect that the old man who had been talking for a long time was Yan Chengjing's grandfather, she said in her heart that this is really fate, and said with a smile: "I won't tell you, my family lives close to your house, only one street away, which is the locust tree alley north of Yan's Hutong." ”

"That's right." The old man thought for a while before remembering: "I remember, when I was a child, I also climbed the big locust tree, and I don't know if it's still there." ”

"Yes, the locust tree has been around for more than a hundred years, and it is very stout." Li Luan'er replied with a smile, and then looked at General Yan: "It's not too early, it's time for me to go home, old general, farewell." ”

She bowed her hand, and when she had finished the salute, she turned and strode away.

General Yan chased after a few steps: "Little lady, since we are neighbors, why don't you go with us, you can sit in the car and walk fast." ”

Li Luan'er turned around and thought about it for a while and did not refuse.

While she was talking to General Yan, Wu Xuan had already tied his horse to the old man's car, and the young man in Tsing Yi helped the old man to sit in the car, and the old man beckoned to Li Luan'er: "Little lady, come up and sit, let's talk for a while." ”

Li Luan'er answered, propped up on the wheel with one hand, and got into the carriage one by one.

"What a neat skill." General Yan picked up his thumb and praised a few more words: "You are much better than my grandson, you should let him take a good look, he doesn't pay attention to the world all day long." ”

Li Luan'er lowered her head and smiled secretly, Yan Chengjing didn't wait to see it earlier, and the child's self-confidence had been shattered to the ground by her blow.

Li Luan'er sat in the carriage and talked and laughed with General Yan, and before she knew it, the carriage had arrived at the gate of Yan's mansion, and the old man invited her to sit in the mansion, but Li Luan'er did not agree, and after getting off the car, she said goodbye and went home.

The old man didn't force her to stay, and asked Wu Xuan to send her back, and he brought someone into the house.

As soon as Li Luan'er came home, she saw Li Feng'er sitting in the courtyard waiting for her, and when she came back, she smiled and asked, "Is there anything going on at the construction site today, why did you come back so late?" ”

"It's fine." Li Luan'er smiled: "It's just that I carried water and watered those peach trees, and before I knew it, it was already noon." ”

"I've left you food in the kitchen, I'll bring it." Li Feng'er put down the work in her hand and went to the kitchen to get food, Li Luan'er washed her hands and face with water and then entered the house, and saw a few side dishes and rice soup and steamed buns in the house.

She was indeed a little late for dinner today, and it took some effort to hold the startled horse, so she was hungry at this time, so she picked up the steamed bun and took a big bite.

Li Feng'er took the rice soup and handed it over: "You eat slowly, don't choke." ”

Li Luan'er gnawed five or six steamed buns before going to drink rice soup, and two bowls of rice soup went down to her stomach, and she had the bottom in her stomach.

Yan Mansion

Yan Chengjing ran around General Yan like a puppy: "Grandpa, didn't you say that you will only arrive tomorrow, why did you come today?" ”

Old General Yan didn't have the kind smile when he talked to Li Luan'er, he made a straight face, and glared at Yan Chengjing sternly: "What, you stinky boy doesn't welcome your grandfather, and you dislike me?" ”

"How dare I." Yan Chengjing smiled and looked at General Yan flatteringly: "Isn't it unexpected, my eldest brother and I are still discussing Ming'er to welcome your old man, how do you know that you came quietly, we didn't go out to greet you, it's really rude, it's rude." ”

Old General Yan saw that his grandson was trained by him and didn't even know where to put his hands, and then thought about the grandchildren at home who were afraid of him, and somehow Li Luan'er's generous appearance appeared in front of him, and he couldn't help sighing, and his expression was much looser: "I just don't want to work hard to mobilize the people, so I came back early." ”

"Grandpa." A hoarse voice came, and then, Yan Chengyue pushed open the door and appeared outside the house.

There was a threshold in this room, Yan Chengyue couldn't get in, and Yan Yi and Yan Er behind him lifted the wheelchair and put him into the house.

The old general looked at the emaciated and sickly appearance of the eldest grandson, and then looked at his wheelchair, as well as Yan Yiyan Er, who had been following him, and couldn't help but sigh, his grandson has suffered all these years, and fell into the mud pit from the pride of the sky, not to mention the gap in his heart, he said that his leg was broken and he was unable to move, which can be called a good person to toss and suffer.
