Chapter 5 Integrating into a new life
"Yes, this cut is fresh enough. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Goro Fugu chewed carefully and praised.
Aso stared at the plate of sliced fish, although he didn't know what it was, but he couldn't help but pick up a piece of garlic and put it in his mouth, the taste was smooth and cold, and the fresh and greasy texture seemed to be sashimi! If you take a closer look, it does look like the texture of raw fish meat, it turns out that the Tang Dynasty people also ate sashimi, and it seems that Japanese sashimi may also be stolen from the Tang Dynasty.
"Goro, your knife skills can probably cut out this kind of filament." Li Xiang saw that Fugu Goro liked to eat cut fish, and couldn't help but quip.
Fugu Goro put down his chopsticks, took a sip of peach pulp, and said slowly, "Haha, it's okay to chop wood, but I haven't tried fish yet." Speaking of knife skills, Erlang's knife skills are not under me, after these few days of fighting, I feel that you have improved more than me. ”
Hearing this, Asu's heart couldn't help but move, and he remembered learning martial arts, so he blurted out, "Do the two elder brothers have to practice swordsmanship when they take the martial arts exam?" Isn't it also very strong in martial arts? ”
Li Xiang and Fugu Goro were slightly stunned when they heard this, and then couldn't help laughing, Li Xiang looked at Asu with interest, "I've heard too many stories about Asu being a ranger, Wuju people do have some swordsmanship, wrestling, archery and other items, but it's not just a competition to see whose kung fu is great, why, Asu is interested in learning martial arts?" ”
Hearing Li Xiang say this, Asu hurriedly nodded like pounding garlic, "Yes, yes, it would be nice if my second cousin was willing to teach me a few tricks." ”
Ah Ru next to her listened to it and was surprised, what's the matter with this sister, why do girls like these and want to learn martial arts?
"Oh, that's not good, you're too thin now, when will your sister be taller." Li Xiang felt that Asu was a child's heart, so he used a delaying tactic, and when she was as tall as Aru, it was estimated that she would have already passed the age of Jilu, so naturally she would not have such a ridiculous idea.
As everyone knows, this sentence really poked Asu's sore spot, fourteen-year-old Asu only reached the tip of his sister's nose, and his body development was slow, so he really looked like a child. So, Aso was silent when he heard this, and just lowered his head and drank the grape pulp.
Fugu Goro looked at Asu and was silent, so he laughed and said, "Little sister Asu, if you really want to learn martial arts, you should find your uncle-in-law Li Guangbi, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, his kung fu is good, even if he doesn't teach you, any one of his subordinates will be a master." ”
"Ahem, ahem......" Li Guangbi! Hearing these three words, Aso choked himself on a mouthful of grape pulp, and couldn't stop coughing and patting his chest. The three people on the seat looked at each other, what happened to this child?
Asu didn't expect that her uncle was the famous Tang Dynasty general Li Guangbi, although she was not a history major, but in the entire Anshi Rebellion, except for An Lushan and Shi Siming, she knew that it was Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi who were fighting against it. Hearing the name of the historical figure, it turned out to be his uncle, Asu only felt that his heart was surging, but it was a pity that he only knew that Li Guangbi had made a great contribution in the Anshi Rebellion, but what happened to the follow-up, there was no impression, unlike Guo Ziyi, the king of Fenyang, who lived to be more than eighty years old, had seven sons and eight sons-in-law, and the story of drunken beating the golden branch was sung.
"Of course I knew my uncle's prestige, so much so that I was thrilled to hear his name. Hehe, hehe. Seeing that everyone looked at her suspiciously, she quickly laughed.
In order to hide the excitement in his heart, Aso said something about how delicious the grape juice was, skipping the topic just now. Unconsciously, the four of them talked and laughed for a while, and Xiaoju saw that it was not early and it was time to go home, so she kept urging Aru and them. Li Xiang didn't continue to stay, and the four ended the discussion and said goodbye to each other.
On the way home, Asu still didn't forget to grasp the hard-won opportunity to go shopping, so he pulled Aru and bought a lot of small things, and when they went out of East Street, Xiaoju who was carrying things was tired and out of breath.
When they reached the door of the house, they saw He Erniang standing at the gate waiting for them.
"You're finally back, and it seems that you have gained a lot from this trip." He Erniang looked at the three people carrying large bags and small bags, and led them to the house.
"Asu, your uncle is back, you and Aru will clean up later, go to the front hall to meet your uncle, the last time he saw you, it was when you were sick in bed, this time I heard me say that you are fine, and I want me to lead you to take him to see." He Erniang patted Asu's shoulder, leaned over to Asu's ear and said, "Your uncle has always been a more serious person who doesn't like to laugh, don't be afraid if you see it, just follow him, he is strict, but the heart is good." ”
Ah Su listened, and was indeed a little nervous, not because He Erniang said that her uncle's face was serious, but because this person was a real historical figure.
After tidying up a little, He Erniang led the two sisters, Asu and Aru, through several small corridors and courtyards, to the front hall. I saw that on the seat in the middle of the front hall, there was a man about thirty or forty years old wearing a dark robe, dark complexion, and a two-inch beard on his chin.
Aju pulled Asu and hurriedly stepped forward, and the two stepped forward and saluted, "Niece to see uncle." ”
Li Guangbi raised his eyes and looked at the two sisters slightly, nodded slightly and said, "Asu seems to be in good spirits, I saw you still sick last time, and this time, it seems that you are indeed better." It's not easy to come all the way, so let's stay here in the future. ”
Asu was not shocked on the surface, but he was still a little nervous in his heart, although his uncle was not smiling, but his words were still reassuring, thinking that his aunt was gone, and he would have to rely on his uncle for his life in the future, he was also very grateful, so he stepped forward and thanked him respectfully, "Asu will be taken care of by his uncle in the future." ”
Li Guangbi saw this little niece, thin and small, and thought that she had been separated from her mother since she was a child, and she had encountered the pain of losing her father not long ago, and she was also pity, and it was rare to be so generous and polite, his voice softened a little, and said to He Erniang, "Although Asu's body is good, it still looks thin, and Erniang will have to put a little more effort into it in the future." ”
Hearing this, Asu almost couldn't help laughing, the Tang Dynasty really thought fat was beautiful, look at Aru, although she has a graceful body, she looks like her face is round and fleshy, she can be regarded as a little beauty, and her body shape is estimated to be malnourished in the Tang Dynasty.
"What Lang Jun said is exactly, don't look at Asu's thin body now, she has also eaten a lot in the past few days, after a while, Lang Jun will definitely gain weight when he sees her again." He Erniang thought about the past few days, especially the last time she ate a leg of mutton, and she was suddenly full of confidence in Asu's gain of weight.
Gaining weight? Forget it, although fat beauties were popular in the Tang Dynasty, but if you are fat, your actions are not flexible and you don't think you look good, eat more to grow and promote development, Asu silently shouted in his heart.
Li Guangbi glanced at Ah Ru, who was already a little taller than He Erniang standing next to him, "Time flies so fast, Ah Ru was still a child when she came, and now she is a big girl." ”
He Erniang looked at Aru, who was already slim beside her, turned her head to Li Guangbi and said, "Yes, last year, Mrs. Wang gave Zhang Luo a courtesy."
"Aru is sixteen." Li Guangbi sighed lightly, stared at the door and thought for a while, then turned his head to look at He Erniang and continued, "Erniang, don't worry, Aru has passed the age of marriage, and it's time to think about marriage, I will take this matter to heart, and I will choose a good family for her." When I get married in the future, I will naturally go out of my house as if I was marrying my own daughter. ”
As soon as Aru heard about the marriage, her face turned red, and she involuntarily lowered her head and pursed her lips slightly, as if she also had a look of expectation and joy.
When He Erniang heard Li Guangbi's words, she was naturally overjoyed, and with the brother-in-law of the deputy envoy of the festival to help select Zhang Luo, her daughter would not worry about finding a good family in the future, so she hurriedly stepped forward to thank her.
"My mother and daughter are very grateful for being taken care of by Lang Jun, and now Lang Jun can still bother to think about my son, I am very grateful."
"Erniang is very polite, over the years, you have been a housekeeper to run this family, and I have worked hard, I also see it in my eyes, needless to say that your sister is no longer there, A-Niang and the Wang family also praise you." Li Guangbi said lightly.
Asu thought to himself, this uncle is really like what A-Niang said, his expression is serious and he doesn't like to smile, but what he says is true, a few simple words make their mother and daughter feel very down-to-earth, although they are now in the era of the Anshi Rebellion, but the loss is attached to this Li Guangbi's house, compared to the ordinary officials and ordinary people should have a great guarantee, although he can't remember Li Guangbi's specific deeds, but it shouldn't be too miserable, after all, it seems that there are many victories in memory.
Li Guangbi looked at the two nieces standing respectfully, and said slowly, "Asu, Aru, I am mostly in the army on weekdays, I have little time at home, and I don't see you much, so you don't need to be too restrained, although your aunt is gone, but your uncle-in-law will treat you like Ayue." ”
The mother and daughter of the He family in the hall were even more relieved when they heard this, and they all looked at Li Guangbi with a grateful smile, and Li Guangbi showed a faint smile even more rarely.
Asu thinks about his current situation, although he does not have his father's protection, but it is rare to have a talented and good uncle, and in this troubled world that is about to begin, his heart is also a lot more steady. Although I don't know when the troubled times began, I at least know that I am attached to a big tree, and besides, I am young enough to make some preparations that I think will be useful for the subsequent chaos. Thinking about it this way, the initial fear of the Anshi Rebellion turned into a calm and brave face.
