Early in the morning, Shen Yanjiao took Neon back to the General's Mansion, because Shen Yanjiao said that she would go back to the family reunion on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Yuluo clan was busy everywhere with Chinese New Year's Eve dinner or something, and the aunts in other courtyards also came out to help do something, while Shen Yanjiao was indifferent and didn't want to go anywhere in her room.
She felt like an outsider all the time when she stayed here. But if life goes on so peacefully, it seems to be good. Now she no longer has to worry about hunger and satiety, and she is full of hope for her future life, she has experienced a lot of things in the past year, and now looking back, it is really like a dream.
The Chinese New Year's Eve family banquet is indeed richer than before, but one thing is different from before, that is, the attitude of the people in the mansion towards Shen Yanjiao has changed a lot, and even several other aunts who have not been in contact with before have come forward to please, Shen Yanjiao actually doesn't like this feeling, but she still has to deal with it with a smile. These aunts, she can't see them a few times a year, and she has never participated in the previous Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, so just people know him, but she doesn't know anything about these aunts, but there are two special ones for her to remember.
Aunt Huang and Aunt Li, why did they make Shen Yanjiao so impressed? This Aunt Huang is the only one who has not stepped forward to please Shen Yanjiao from beginning to end, but sat quietly alone, quiet and peaceful, neither humble nor arrogant, which made Shen Yanjiao can't help but look up; But Aunt Li is different, she dropped a surprise bomb at the dinner, that is, she is pregnant, it has been more than three months, and she looks triumphant, as if she has accomplished a terrible thing.
Shen Yanjiao is about to have another brother or sister, which makes her feel a little happy in her heart. For the other people in the house, there are also joy, envy, and jealousy, but there are also people whose faces are full of smiles and instantly turn into frost.
Don't think about it, it's the Yuluo clan, the only heir in this mansion for so many years, except for Shen Yanjiao, who has no mother, only she has a pair of children under her knees, which is also her biggest confidence here, and now, this Aunt Li is pregnant, doesn't it indicate that her position is about to be shaken? Compared to Shen Hong, who was overjoyed to hear the good news, the stiff smile on Yu Luo's face on the side also made the other aunts think about it.
In short, a family banquet is a big thing for everyone, Shen Yanjiao looked at the dark tide surging between them, and suddenly lost her appetite, and hastily took two bites of food and got up to leave.
"Whew! I knew that this dinner party would be torturous, but I didn't expect it to be so painful, I really miss the past! Staying in his own small broken yard and eating wild vegetables and white rice porridge, I also feel very happy. Lying on the bed, Shen Yanjiao let out a long breath, there was no joy of ordinary people's New Year's Eve at all, Shen Yanjiao lay down by herself, and fell asleep.
"Girl, after tonight, you'll be nine years old, right?" A figure suddenly appeared by the window and looked at Shen Yanjiao and muttered, the voice was very small, it didn't wake her up, and after stopping for a while, he turned around and left.
The people who came later looked at the figure leaving in front of them, thought for a while, and then broke in through the window and quarreled with Shen Yanjiao, who had just fallen asleep.
"Ahhh What the hell are you going to do, Ah Lian! Can you walk through the front door once! Shen Yanjiao was woken up, she was in a very bad mood, she tucked her head under the pillow and let out a muffled roar.
Ah Lian didn't care about this, he saw that Shen Yanjiao had not changed her clothes and slept with her clothes, so he directly fished her off the bed, hugged her horizontally in his arms and said, "I deliberately slipped out to accompany you under the pretext of being unwell, how can you waste a lot of time sleeping here?" ”
Before Shen Yanjiao could react, her body changed from the bed to Ah Lian's arms, her little face flushed, this Ah Lian, why don't you know whether men and women kiss or not!
Shen Yanjiao was afraid that if she was seen, then her reputation would be over, so she raised her head from Ah Lian's arms and said angrily: "Let me go quickly!" I...... I'll go myself! ”
After Ah Lian heard it, she let go with an evil smile, only to see Shen Yanjiao fall from his arms with a scream, and her buttocks were about to bloom, Shen Yanjiao stood up with difficulty, this time she was really angry: "Ah Lian! What the hell do you want to do? "She died in pain!
"Keep up!" Ah Lian walked forward without looking back, Shen Yanjiao looked at the warm quilt behind her, hesitated for a moment and followed. Both of them were not weak in martial arts, and they saw the wall of the general's mansion as if they were nothing, and jumped over.
Running all the way, Shen Yanjiao was so tired that she was sweating in order to keep up with Ah Lian's footsteps, and kept performing light skills for about a quarter of an hour, Ah Lian stopped on the edge of a cliff, and Shen Yanjiao who came later was already tired and speechless, she panted while pointing at Ah Lian and said, "You...... You run so ...... Hurry up and do something! I followed...... I'm tired! ”
Seeing Shen Yanjiao's little face slightly red because of the strenuous exercise, Ah Lian couldn't help but step forward and hold her in her arms, and said to her, "Come, close your eyes and show you something!" ”
Shen Yanjiao's head had already fallen off when she was hugged by Ah Lian, and when she heard Ah Lian's words, she immediately closed her eyes obediently, Ah Lian gently turned her body, took her forward a dozen steps, and said softly, You can open your eyes.
Shen Yanjiao's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes, and when her eyes slowly adapted to the process from dark to light, she was stunned by the wonderful picture in front of her.
"This ...... So beautiful! Is this the light of ten thousand homes? Shen Yanjiao's eyes flashed with light, looking at the large sea of stars in the distance, Chinese New Year's Eve, Christmas Year, everyone gathered at home to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, children lit lanterns and ran happily everywhere, the lights of many families were connected together, and they converged into the lights of the ten thousand homes that Shen Yanjiao saw at this time, like the stars in the sky, a little light flashed very beautifully.
Ah Lian nodded, looked into the distance and said: "This is the place we want to protect, we want to protect this country together, these people, let it not only prosper for a hundred years, but also another hundred years, another hundred years!" As she spoke, Ah Lian's body exuded a kingly momentum.
Shen Yanjiao was infected by his momentum, and responded excitedly: "Okay! Then let it flourish for a few more hundred years! In the cold wind, two little people made this vow, although it looked ...... in the eyes of adults It's a bit of child's play, but they know in each other's hearts that this is not a joke, this is their mission.
"Jiao'er, I'm leaving, to fight for the future, now we are too weak to do anything, in the face of the real conspiracy of power, now we are just like a joke." Ah Lian said softly, and Shen Yanjiao's body was also stiff after hearing this, and she wanted to ...... Gone? Where to go? Do you want to leave the capital? When...... Just back? Many speculations flashed in her mind, but Shen Yanjiao didn't dare to ask even a question.
"Jiao'er, I'll write to you, okay? I don't know how many years I'm going to disappear, can you wait for me? Wait for me to come back, wait for me to marry you in a sedan chair and go home. Ah Lian looked at Shen Yanjiao and said tenderly.
Private for life? This word flashed in Shen Yanjiao's mind, and her little face turned red for a while, she lowered her head and was silent, how could she answer? She just has a good impression of Ah Lian, but she is not sure whether they will come together in the future.
Ah Lian's eyes darkened, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, calculating that it was quite late, so she picked up Shen Yanjiao, and jumped down with light skills in Shen Yanjiao's exclamation, stepping on the branches on the treetops halfway all the way, and after a while, she returned to Shen Yanjiao's boudoir in the General's Mansion.
Ah Lian reluctantly put down Shen Yanjiao, and said: "That secret room, I have already asked people to build it, except for those boxes of treasures, the remaining boxes of books are martial arts secret books, I have asked people to transcribe two copies, I kept one for myself, and one for Rong Shuyu, and the rest was originally for you, these can be used to cultivate your own power, those children you picked...... Very good. After speaking, Ah Lian took a deep look at Shen Yanjiao and said softly: "Then, goodbye!" Then he turned away without hesitation.
"Again...... See! Shen Yanjiao stretched out her hand, but she didn't even catch a corner of her clothes, so she had to lightly open her lips and say softly.
However, goodbye, but I don't know when we will see each other again.
Unknowingly, six years have passed, this year, Shen Yanjiao and Xu, but ushered in the news of the war in the northern and southern frontiers, for a time the people of the whole country were panicked, the emperor ordered Shen Hongzhong to take charge of the military to go to the north to guard, Liang Feng also went, the emperor also had to be reused, and led a dry sailor to wave his troops south to suppress the Southern Barbarian Rebellion.
But Shen Yanjiao ushered in a holy decree at home that changed her life.
