Chapter 246, the windbreak has achieved initial results, and the birthday lantern paper crane
Duanmu Xuan's confession made his relationship with Situ Yan clearer, and made him much more relaxed. Just like now, looking at Situ Yan, there is no need to find some lame excuses, but a generous beauty. But Situ Yan has a sense of powerlessness to be deceived.
Wu Jin felt even more depressed and uncomfortable, and even had a feeling of selling his sister for glory.
After the twenty-fourth summer solar term in May, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and I used to hear people say, "There are people outside Yanmen Pass, wearing leather jackets in the morning and yarn in the afternoon, and eating watermelon with a stove!" ”。 Now Situ Yan really understands that she will sweat when she stands and breathes during the day, but at night, she will be so cold that she can't sleep without a quilt.
It's just that such a day has fulfilled Situ Yan and Wu Jin, and the vegetation planted has grown gratifyingly, and the desert grassland and windbreak have begun to bear fruit. Duanmu Xuan has been running to the military camp every day for the past few days, and has followed Wu Jin to learn to manage the desert grassland.
"Zhongxian, how did you come up with the idea of building a meadow in the desert? I've never seen these trees and grass species before? "In Duanmu Xuan's impression, Wu Jin was born in the south of the Yangtze River, so he shouldn't know these vegetation, right?
Wu Jin was still a little sullen in his heart about Duanmu Xuan's blatant coming to the meeting these days, and he was thinking about how to admonish him, but he was stunned for a while, and he didn't have time to react in a hurry.
Duanmu Xuan was happy these days, and he didn't care about Wu Jin's strange appearance, "If this grassland can really be built, it will be a great achievement, not only will it help the entire Northwest Army, but even the entire Wu Kingdom will benefit a lot!" Looking at the already green land, not only Wu Jin, but even Duanmu Xuan was a little excited. He even thought that it would not be an exaggeration to exchange Wu Jin's glory for such a feat.
"The thing is what the sister thinks, even what she said is according to her, I just wanted to try, and I didn't know the bottom of my heart if I couldn't succeed, but I didn't want the effect to be so good now, but it was reasonable and unexpected!" Since Duanmu Xuan expressed his attitude to Situ Yan, Wu Jin no longer concealed the incident, and the two had more honesty when they intersected.
"Yan'er deserves to be the living female Zhuge . It's just that I can't figure it out, where did she know about these things? "For his sweetheart, don't say that what Situ Yan does is right, even if it is wrong. He will also think that it is reasonable, not to mention that Situ Yan has secrets all over his body, and he is very curious.
"I also asked my sister-in-law, she only said that she saw it from a book, as for what kind of book? She didn't say a word! ”
Wu Jin was not without suspicions. But he believed in his little sister, and he could see that Duanmu Xuan also believed in his sister, although he didn't like it in his heart, but he felt a little relieved, "Ziheng, Yan'er is the name of her sister, I understand your intentions, but if she is heard, after all, her reputation will be damaged?" Wu Jin was also helpless with Duanmu Xuan, thinking that the little sister had rejected him. He won't be entangled anymore, but he doesn't want this person to be more attentive, and he comes every day after the summer vacation, and even now he has changed his name.
"Zhongxian, I won't hide my intentions from you, and I know why you are worried, but my heart for Yan'er will remain the same for this life, and I won't force Yan'er, even if it doesn't choose me one day, I will stay by her side like a brother. Keep her safe for the rest of her life! Wu Jin didn't expect Duanmu Xuan to have such a plan a long time ago, looking at Duanmu Xuan like this, even he felt so unfamiliar, but he was very relieved.
"Good. Ziheng, I believe you, but if you do anything to hurt Yan'er one day, even if I don't want to fight for my life, I will pull you to Huangquan Road for a trip to the eighteenth layer of hell! "Wu Jin loves his sister like his life, and these Duanmu Xuan have long known it, so he naturally understands the meaning of his words.
"If one day I hurt Yan'er. I don't need you to do it, I will cut myself in front of Yan'er! The two men made a lifelong vow, which they may not know at this time, but this promise will stay with them for the rest of their lives, even until they are old.
Busy with the summer solar term on June 11, and half a month is Wu Jin's birthday, although Situ Yan is busy these days, she still remembers such a big day. Although the original owner had also celebrated Wu Jin's birthday before, it was the first time for her, so she thought about how to be special.
Find a plug and ask him what Wu Jin's preferences were before, "Plug, you have followed your brother since you were a child, do you know what he likes?" ”
"Miss, the eldest young master likes to read, if you are interested, the most you can do is to listen to music and poetry, and nothing else!" The bolt didn't understand why the eldest lady could ask such a question, but as a minion, he had no right to ask the master's mind.
Situ Yan didn't expect Wu Jin's life to be so simple, in fact, she blamed Wu Jin, after all, this was in ancient times, there were very few entertainment programs, and Wu Jin didn't like to spend all day drinking, so it was not easy to get one or two hobbies.
Knowing that Wu Jin likes to listen to music, Situ Yan has an idea. For musical instruments, in her previous life, in order to complete the task, she had practiced the guzheng for a period of time, although she was not a professional, it was equivalent to an amateur level 10 level.
It's just that this guzheng is different from the guqin of this dynasty. Situ Yan searched for a long time in the border city before she found a 15-string zither, and she was used to a 21-string zither and was not used to it. After thinking about it again, Situ Yan decided to find a craftsman to try to make a zither that suited her. And the 15-string zither she also bought back for backup, once the trial failed, the kite at least barely coped.
On the night of June 25, Situ Yan found the prepared colored paper and folded the paper crane with the bolt.
"Miss, you've been busy for three nights, and you've broken nearly 1,000 paper cranes, if you're so busy, how can you afford it?" The bolt already knew that the eldest lady was celebrating the eldest young master's birthday, but the eldest lady stayed up like this, I was afraid that before the eldest young master's birthday, she would get sick, and it was the eldest young master who was heartbroken.
"I'm fine, I'm just tired of you, you have to be busy with the fields and studies during the day, and you have to follow me here at night?" Situ Yan didn't feel tired, but she was a little worried that the plug would be unbearable.
"What the eldest lady said, the slave was happy in his heart, and he was not tired at all. Since the death of the first master's mother, the eldest young master has not had a good birthday, and now the eldest lady is so happy for the eldest young master, and the slave is happy, and there is endless energy on his body. Situ Yan could tell that this slave was happy for the eldest young master from the bottom of his heart.
"After a busy tomorrow night, I will definitely let you rest for a few days. I remember what I told me, find a way to stop the eldest young master tomorrow afternoon, don't let him go home, it's best to delay it until dark, so that I can give my brother a bigger surprise! "Tomorrow is Wu Jin's birthday, and Situ Yan is also a little excited.
"The minion made a note of it. It's just that the eldest lady is busy with the birthday banquet alone. I'm afraid it's too hard, why don't you stay and help tomorrow? So that the eldest lady can also have a rest? ”
"No, I'll do this little thing. All you have to do is stay with your brother. Come on. I'm going to get here tonight, so why don't you go and rest? ”
"Yes, the eldest lady, please settle it earlier?"
"Yes, I see!" Waiting for the bolt to leave, Situ Yan was busy for more than an hour, and then went to sleep on the kang.
It was early in the morning of June 26. Duanmu Xuan took Mo Feng to Situ Yan's house, and even ate breakfast at Situ Yan's house.
"Yan'er, today is Zhongxian's birthday, I wonder what you are prepared for?" While eating the breakfast cooked by his sweetheart, chatting at the same time, Duanmu Xuan felt very comfortable on such a day.
"Ziheng, you still call me little brother, so that we can be more comfortable with each other!" Situ Yan didn't like Duanmu Xuan to call her maiden name, and she seemed too close. Duanmu Xuan didn't care, anyway, it was just a title. As long as Situ Yan doesn't refuse him thousands of miles away, it's fine.
"My brother's birthday banquet is in the evening, if Brother Ziheng doesn't give up, why don't we celebrate together in the evening?" As soon as the words came out, Situ Yan felt that Duanmu Xuan seemed to be a little too ruthless, after all, they could be regarded as friends, thinking that it would be better to invite him to celebrate Wu Jin's birthday together, first, there were more people, and secondly, it could be regarded as an interaction between friends.
"Okay!" This was the first time Situ Yan invited Duanmu Xuan, and he nodded with joy. In fact, this is also the purpose of his coming early this morning.
But in the evening, the family also invited Lu Tunchang, Sun Tunchang and some other guests. Can't you put on a general's stand and scare the guests away? "Regarding the matter of Duanmu Xuan knocking over the chicken soup before, Situ Yan is still a little concerned, afraid of this eldest young master. One was unhappy and went crazy again, picked up the shelf and smashed the wine and food, which ruined everyone's ambition.
"Okay, everything is up to Yan'er!" Duanmu Xuan couldn't hold anything else in his mind for a long time, and he was thinking about the banquet at night, so naturally Situ Yan said something. He will say yes.
After lunch, the bolt took Wu Jin to Tunxue, and found all kinds of things for Wu Jin to do, this Wu Jin only felt that there were a lot of things today, but he didn't remember that today was his birthday.
Situ Yan stayed at home, strung the folded paper cranes with thread, hung them in the yard, found the lanterns she had made before, and set up the borrowed tables and chairs one by one, and then began to prepare the ingredients for the birthday banquet.
When the sun sank in the west and the sunset reflected the sky, Wu Jin went home with the plug. Before anyone entered the courtyard, they saw lit bonfires, flickering lanterns, and paper birds flying like butterflies in the distance.
"This? Embolis, what's going on? Wu Jin was stunned, and asked the minions around him at a loss. The bolt didn't say anything, but just pushed Wu Jin into the courtyard.
Situ Yan and the guests were all hiding in the hall at this time, just waiting for Wu Jin to enter the courtyard. Seeing that Wu Jin was pushed in by the bolt, Situ Yan walked out of the hall with the guests, singing a birthday song and clapping her hands, "I wish you a happy birthday!" Happy Birthday to you! Happy birthday to my brother! Happy Birthday to you! ”
"Yan'er!" Wu Jin looked at the little sister who was illuminated by the firelight of the sunset, and there was no room for anything in her eyes. "Yes! Today is his Wu Jin's birthday, but I didn't expect my little sister to remember, not only remember, but also spend so much effort to celebrate his birthday. How fortunate is he to have such a sister? ”
"Although my brother is still in the filial piety period, and we are far away from the capital, the birthday banquet is not as lively as in Beijing, but this is the first time I celebrate my brother's birthday, although it is simpler, but this heart, please smile at my brother!"
"Yan'er, thank you!" The brother and sister stared at each other, Wu Jin had tears in his eyes, and all he had in his heart was the sweet smile of the little sister, where could he pretend to be anything else.
Duanmu Xuan stood behind Situ Yan, looking at her like this, there was a trace of jealousy in his heart, "Zhongxian! Do you know how much I envy you, I don't know when Yan'er will bother me so much, even if it's only once, I have no regrets in my life! ”
In fact, it is not only Duanmu Xuan who has such thoughts, such as Lu Ming, Ding Gouwa, and even He Dazhuang's two sons are all thinking about this, they have never seen anyone celebrate their birthday like this, this surprise, this intention is the most worthy of their envy.
"Alright, alright! Zhongxian, if you continue to stand like this, the banquet will be cold! Duanmu Xuan really couldn't stand the appearance of the two brothers and sisters who were "affectionate", and if he went down, he would not be jealous, I was afraid that the entire vinegar tank would be overturned.
"Yes! We've been hungry for a long time, and since the winter, I haven't eaten Xiao Wuyaki for more than half a year! Lu Ming and Ding Gouwa's words woke Situ Yan and Wu Jin from their daze. Situ Yan was okay, Wu Jin blushed and hid the tears in the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, and then beckoned everyone to take a seat.
"Yes, thank you friends for coming to the birthday banquet, please take a seat!" Situ Yan helped Wu Jin beckon the guests to sit down, and then served the food with the plug.
Waiting for the wine and food to come up, Wu Jin was still looking at the paper bird flying overhead, "Yan'er, your paper bird looks good?" ”
"That's not a paper bird, it's a paper crane, taking the meaning of crane longevity and blessing, and there are a total of 999 paper cranes here, which has the meaning of a long time!"
Situ Yan's explanation was not only moved by Wu Jin's listening, but even Duanmu Xuan looked at it with novelty. "Little brother, can you give me one later?" In front of outsiders, Duanmu Xuan still paid attention and would not call him by his name.
"What? Ziheng likes this? It's just that this is my sister's birthday gift, and I don't plan to give it to my brother. Wu Jin was afraid that the other guests would hear the clue and ruin the reputation of the little sister, so he hurriedly took the words.
"There are so many paper cranes, what does it matter if Zhongxian lets one for me?" Duanmu Xuandu was about to die of jealousy, but Wu Jin refused to give in, and he had no choice but to give a sour sentence, like two children competing for candy.
"Just said that 999, take the meaning of a long time, if there is one less, then the meaning is gone, so ah! I don't want to let this crane go! ”
"Okay, good, you're beautiful! When I marry Yan'er home, I will definitely fold 9999 by then? Duanmu Xuan whispered in Wu Jin's ear in a suppressed voice, so angry that Wu Jin stared at a pair of eyes, but he didn't have any way to deal with this scoundrel.
There were only Wu Jin, Duanmu Xuan, Mo Feng, Zhu Zi and Situ Yan sitting at this table, so naturally others couldn't hear these words. As for whether Situ Yan heard it or not, it didn't matter, anyway, she had long been accustomed to Duanmu Xuan's dead-skinned face. got up and sent a birthday message to Wu Jin first, and after Duanmu Xuan congratulated him, he started the banquet. (To be continued.) )
