Chapter 256, by visiting the sick and staying overnight, and enjoying the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival of the Reunion Festival
It's just that Wu Jin's fall from the horse is not as simple as Situ Yan thought. Three days later, some crazy words spread throughout the Northwest Army.
"You don't know, the Wu team was afraid that the big competition would lose, so they deliberately broke their legs, and they don't even need to compare now!"
"If you don't have that ability, don't fill any big cloves of garlic in front of Lao Tzu, thinking that with the support of the general, you really treat yourself as a dish!"
"But no, in addition to the ability to buy people's hearts, what else will it be, if this goes to the battlefield, it will be the meat on the board, and it will only be slaughtered by others!"
……,……
Since Wu Jin was injured, such cynicism has not stopped for a moment, and even Duanmu Xuan in the border city has heard of it, he wanted to come forward to solve the matter, but was stopped by Situ Yan.
She has to solve this matter with her own hands, not only to solve it, but also to give these people some color to see.
In Situ Yan's opinion, this matter is not a big deal, naturally it will not affect her mood, in addition to helping Wu Jin deal with the affairs of the military tun, Situ Yan even made moon cakes, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is the first time in four years that she and Wu Jin have a family reunion for the Mid-Autumn Festival, of course, it should be grander.
There are two types of moon cakes, one is the traditional moon cakes, which are used to distribute them to several households with good relations in the military tun. One is fruit filling, which is kept and eaten with Wu Jin and plugs.
Early in the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Situ Yan asked Lu Ming to help kill a sheep, separate the lamb leg and lamb chops, and the lamb leg was used for barbecue when admiring the moon at night, and the mutton chops were added with some cumin to make a cumin lamb chop, and the remaining mutton was made into some meat sandwich buns, but it was directly a whole sheep feast.
Of course, wine is indispensable, and after making four plates of cold dishes and four plates of fruits, a sumptuous Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is ready.
It was getting late, and the bolt carried Wu Jin out of the house, and the three of them sat around the stone table, roasting a leg of mutton. While eating meat and steamed buns, this Mid-Autumn Festival has a special taste.
Before he could eat two bites, he heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the snow wolf guarding the roast leg of lamb did not even look back. Situ Yan knew that the person who came must be Duanmu Xuan.
"This person doesn't accept gifts in the general's mansion for the holidays, so why did he come to our house to join in the fun?" But after all, the people have already come, and they can't be invited back anymore, so they have to go and open the door with the bolt. Welcomed people in.
"Little brother, I'll take a look at Zhongxian's injury, and I'll give you some Boxing gifts by the way when it's time for the holiday. It's just a pip in mind, you can't return it to me! Duanmu Xuanke still remembered that the last time he gave a cart of gifts, when he went back, he pulled another cart back.
"Of course you have to accept it this time, otherwise you are running to rub the rice so clearly, and it will be a loss if you don't accept it!" Let people in, only to see Mo Feng followed by Mo Yu, who he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Inkrain Guards. Is this the return of the capital? I wonder what is rare in Beijing? Situ Yan thought she wanted to inquire about the affairs of the imperial court, and by the way, to hear if there was anything interesting happening in Beijing, after all, it would not be long before she and Wu Jin would return to the capital to live.
"To Miss Situ and Young Master Wu, please be safe!" Mo Yu saluted the two of them first, and then got up and stood behind Duanmu Xuan to reply.
"It's business as usual in Beijing!" After all, Mo Yu and Situ Yan are still a little unfamiliar, so they don't know how to talk about it. Situ Yan didn't expect to be able to really inquire about anything, so she didn't mind Mo Yu like this.
Stools were added to the three of them, and the six of them sat down again.
"Little brother, your leg of lamb is so delicious!" Duanmu Xuan looked at the roasted leg of lamb. Swallow saliva.
"You'd better take care of your own hands, otherwise the snow wolf won't let you go!" After Situ Yan said it, Duanmu Xuan saw the snow wolf by the fire, staring at him with cold eyes. There is a frame that he will pounce on as soon as he stretches out his hand.
"There are four legs of mutton, so there is a snow wolf, since you are here at this time, you and Mo Feng and Mo Yu have two, and my brother and I have one bolt!"
"How good is that? Let's split one of the three of us! Duanmu Xuan felt that he was a bit noisy. It is not in line with the ceremony.
"We just ate a lot of meat buns, and we can't eat too much. And this also has cumin lamb chops, which taste no worse than a roasted leg of lamb! Situ Yan was really full, so she didn't mind giving her share.
"And the meat bun, then give me a piece too? Well, this lamb chop is also very fragrant! Duanmu Xuan directly grabbed a piece of lamb chops and gnawed it, a complete foodie, but this move eased the embarrassing atmosphere a lot.
"Ink wind and ink rain also eat! Don't just look at it, there are mooncakes here! Situ Yan motioned to the two of them and poured wine for Duanmu Xuan.
This festival is still lively when there are many people, and with the addition of Duanmu Xuan, the laughter in the small courtyard is also doubled.
The snow wolf wagged its tail at Situ Yan while gnawing on the leg of mutton, in its eyes, the most delicious food in the world was the barbecue made by the owner.
"Little brother, on Zhongxian's birthday, you have a piano sound, so far I can't forget, today's holiday, why don't you give another song to the little brother?"
"This meal can be eaten for nothing, but the song can't be listened to in vain, what does Brother Ziheng plan to thank me?" Although Situ Yan doesn't mind playing a song, she can't listen to the song in vain, she won't make a loss-making deal.
"Yan'er, don't be rude!" Wu Jin felt more and more that there was some ambiguity between Xiaomei and Duanmu Xuan, which made him very worried, so he couldn't help but take the words, "Ziheng is not strange, Yan'er is so spoiled by me!" ”
"Zhongxian doesn't need to be like this, my little brother and I are not separated from each other, so we can be closer when we talk like this!" Duanmu Xuan rarely gets along with a beautiful woman so well, where will Wu Jin stir up.
Of course, Wu Jin knew that he was very close to talk like this, and it was precisely because he was too close that he was worried and wanted to stop it. Situ Yan stuck out her tongue behind Wu Jin's back, she was used to joking with Duanmu Xuan now, but she forgot about this conservative brother.
"I don't have anything long, and my little brother doesn't like yellow and white things, so it's better for me to make a promise to my little brother, no matter when, where, or what, as long as the little brother comes to ask, I will be crushed to pieces, and I will not give up!"
Duanmu Xuan's gift was a bit heavy, of course Situ Yan wouldn't accept it, so she had to laugh, "It's just a joke, Brother Ziheng took it seriously, I'll go get the piano!" ”
Situ Yan thought it was just a joke, but Duanmu Xuan thought it was true, even if there was no song, he was willing to go to the soup for Situ Yan.
"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival. Then play a tune about the moon! Situ Yan plucked the strings, tried the pitch, and then began to stroke the piano.
"Good!" Duanmu Xuan drank all the wine in the cup, and listened to Situ Yan playing and singing with Wu Jin.
"When is the bright moon? Ask the wine to the sky, I don't know the heavenly palace, what year is it in the past, I want to go back by the wind, and I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu. The high place is unbearable, dancing to figure out the shadow, how can it be in the world? ”
Su Shi's "Water Tune Song Head", which is the most suitable to sing at this time.
Mo Yu hadn't heard Situ Yan play the piano and sing, but she didn't expect Miss Situ to be so talented, even slightly better than those famous talented girls in the capital, she gently pulled the hem of Mo Feng's clothes and gave him an approving look.
Of course Mofeng understands. At the beginning, he was also moved by the sound of the piano, and even helped the young master chase the beauty from then on, it seems that even Mo Yu was moved by it this time.
"Turn Zhu Ge, low Qihu, shine sleeplessly, there should be no hatred, what is the long time to say goodbye. People have joys and sorrows, the moon is cloudy and sunny, this matter is difficult to complete, I hope people will last a long time. Thousands of miles together! ”
"Okay, I wish people a long time, thousands of miles together!" Of course, Duanmu Xuan liked this sentence the most, and sang along softly. There is also a hint of charm.
At the end of the song, Situ Yan walked back to the table, poured herself a cup of tea, and then said, "Brother Ziheng only likes this sentence, but the previous one." People have joys and sorrows, the moon has clouds and sunny days, since ancient times, how can mortals force it! ”
Wu Jin was still a little worried, but listening to the meaning of the little sister's words, he understood that at least the little sister was not interested in this Duan Mu Xuan at the moment, and this sentence obviously implied that the other party should not fall too deep.
Of course, Duanmu Xuan also understood, but he would not give up easily. only held a wine glass, drank a big gulp, and completely ignored Situ Yan's hints.
"This man is really a scoundrel, if it is good for him, he will listen, and if it is not good for him, he will not even pay attention!" Although she was angry, she was only angry for a while, and then chatted with a few people again.
"On my brother's birthday, the song played by Yan'er and today's song are different, if Yan'er is self-taught, not a famous teacher, even my brother will be suspicious?" Wu Jin had long felt strange, he had been busy since that day because of the affairs of the military tun, and he didn't have time to ask in detail, so he happened to have time at this time, so he naturally had to inquire about it.
"This brother doesn't need to doubt, I call it talent, but my brother can't envy it? Mama Li said, I look exactly the same as my mother when I was a child, and I am even smarter than my mother! Situ Yan is used to pulling things on Situ Wan again, anyway, as long as this brother mentions his mother, he will naturally stop fighting.
"Yan'er, but do you miss your mother?" Sure enough, as Situ Wan expected, Wu Jin immediately changed his puzzled smile before, and sat upright with a serious face, and even Duanmu Xuan restrained his smile and sat beside him.
"Yan'er often dreams of her mother, so although she misses it, I know that everything is fine with my mother, so I don't worry!" If it was like this all night, Situ Yan was naturally unwilling, so naturally she had to persuade a few words.
Wu Jin stroked Situ Yan's head distressedly, his little sister is only 10 years old, if his mother is still alive, it should be the time for Cheng Huan to knees, but now, his little sister is suffering with his useless brother here, he is sorry for his mother in the spirit of heaven, so his mother doesn't even want to see him in a dream.
Situ Yan could see the sadness in Wu Jin's eyes, and every time he mentioned Situ Wan, Wu Jin would be very sad.
"Brother, no matter where my mother is, she lives in your heart and mine, and she has never blamed you, mother!" She said these words more than once, but Wu Jin couldn't let go of them no matter what, even if it was the dead Wu De, occasionally he would carry his little sister behind his back to visit one or two. This is the family affection that blood is thicker than water.
Duanmu Xuan didn't want to see Wu Jin like this, this would only make Yan'er more uncomfortable, compared to Wu Jin, Yan'er lost her biological mother at the age of 6, and even saw her father kill her mother, such a blow is someone else, even if she is not crazy, she will not be as strong as Yan'er, but no matter how strong she is, Yan'er is just a child.
He patted Wu Jin on the shoulder, "Zhongxian, now that your brother and sister are the hope of Situ Mansion, Yan'er still has to rely on you, the elder brother, can't you make her sad?" ”
Wu Jin was in a hurry just now, but he ignored his little sister's feelings, hurriedly gathered his thoughts, and smiled at Situ Yan.
Situ Yan nodded gratefully at Duanmu Xuan, Wu Jin was able to recover so quickly, he should be grateful to Duanmu Xuan for his persuasion. Naturally, it also gave him a lot of smiles.
The six people in the border city of Juntun admired the moon and drank, far away in the house of Li Village, Fuxiang Village, Henan County, and the four brothers sat around the stone table in the courtyard, also drinking and admiring the moon, but they wanted to see the person who was thinking about it through the moon, "I don't know how many times the moon has been round?" Why hasn't Xiao Wu come back yet? ”
"Uncle Zhu said when he came to give a gift today, Xiao Wu is doing well, and he should be able to come back after the New Year!" Da Lang wanted to ask Li Youzhu more about the current situation of the little sister, but Li Youzhu was very tight-mouthed, and only told them that the eldest lady was all right, and asked them not to remember it, and refused to say anything else.
"And how many more months? Big brother, you say, will Xiao Wu also look at the moon and think about us? Saburo couldn't wait a little at the thought of having so many days left.
"Yes, definitely!" Li Dalang's mood has calmed down a lot these days, after all, he will go to the capital Situ Mansion every once in a while to inquire, Uncle Zhu and Aunt Cui Ping will tell him that the little sister is fine, let him not worry, he can see that it is not to comfort him, but that the little sister is really doing well now. Looking at the orderly management of Situ Mansion, you can also get a glimpse of it. If something happens to Xiaomei and Wu Jin, Situ Mansion will inevitably make a mess.
It is precisely because of this that the four brothers can stay in Fuxiang Village with peace of mind, but compared to others, Saburo has become more diligent than before, and even learns one step faster than Shiro in terms of schoolwork. Even Kung Fu riding and archery is better than Da Lang. His thoughts about Xiaomei have not only not diminished at all with the passage of time, but have even become more and more intense.
"Big brother, you said that we also made moon cakes according to Xiao Wu's method, but why are these moon cakes not as fragrant as Xiao Wu's?" Erlang thinks that what he eats is not as delicious as what his little sister makes.
"Well, I think so too, Xiao Wu not only makes mooncakes delicious, but everything is fragrant!" Shiro agrees.
"Love the house and the black!" Saburo understands this feeling best, and it sums up all the meaning in four words.
Li Dalang glanced at the third brother, the two understood the meaning in each other's eyes, but they didn't say it explicitly, the four of them looked up at the bright moon in the sky together, and continued to miss them alone. (To be continued.) )
