Chapter 172 - Acacia Finchpea South Country Scenery [2]

PS:oh,no! The chapter name was wrong!!!!!!!!!!

Several girls had never eaten such delicate rice porridge and side dishes, and their eyes widened for a while, holding the chopsticks in their hands, and they were careful not to fall.

"Little girl, eat." Seeing their appearance, Xingye stroked the top of the youngest girl's hair with pity, and suddenly remembered something, and glanced at the four girls, "What are your names?" ”

The eldest girl blinked and shook her head, "Daddy calls us Ah Da and Ah Er on weekdays...... Sister Xingba, what is the name? ”

“…… Miss, will you name these four little girls? Xingye held her cheeks and smiled softly at her, "My name was also chosen by the young lady back then!" ”

"Pick a name?" Zhu Yan shook his head, "It's a brain-draining job, I'll go get a copy of Materia Medica, and let the four little girls pick it themselves." ”

"Little sister, we can't read." The older girl looked down at the hem of her dress, biting her slightly dry lip and looking ashamed.

"Ah Yan, pick some short four-word sentences and give them to each little girl, and then memorize them." Never whisper yì.

Zhu Yan pursed his lips, propped his chin on the edge of the table, and muttered, "Pill Powder Pill?" ”

Xingye laughed out loud, "Miss, if this is called Xiao Dan, it's fine, but how can it be used as a name?" ”

"That'...... Defend the blood of the camp? ...... the cold and heat" Zhu Yan rubbed his forehead, and also felt that the things he remembered were a little strange, and looked at Yongwu complainingly. “…… So what's the best of that? ”

"If it's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or the Four Gentlemen, I'm afraid it's too ordinary." Never shook his head, "You can't think of anything else?" ”

Zhu Yan blinked. "Is it okay to ask the corpse? What's your last name? ”

Su Wen and Lingshu are two parts of the Yellow Emperor's Neijing, written for later generations in the name of the Yellow Emperor, the former talks about medical theory, and the latter focuses on acupuncture, which can be said to have laid the theoretical foundation of Chinese medicine.

The girls stared innocently again, and looked at Zhu Yan in a daze for a long time. Still Twenty-four couldn't bear it anymore, and sighed deeply, "That family's surname is Yan." The woman was Zheng. ”

"Words? Then, you are called Yansu, the second girl is called Yanqing, and the fourth girl is Yanling. The smallest one is called the pivot of speech. Luckily? ”

After speaking, Zhu Yan's eyes involuntarily fell on the third girl, Yan Ling, Yan Ling, that is, the so-called words are spiritual, although Zhu Yan did not believe in those evils, but still couldn't help but be a little touched.

The four girls were all happy with their names, and they ate a meal like a storm. While eating, I still can't believe that they are going to live such a "fairy" life in the future?

Others just eat small dishes casually. They all sat on the sidelines and watched the four of them gobble up, feeling distressed and relieved in their hearts.

"Xingye, you let the four little girls go to sleep for a while, and you come to me." Zhu Yan dropped this sentence, looked at the four children with round bellies, couldn't help but smile again, turned around, frowned, and hurriedly walked out.

"Ah Yan, don't go, I bother you to bring a word to the side boss." Never got up and chased him out.

Zhu Yan turned his head with the carved ball at the head of the staircase, and his slightly gloomy face was hidden in the heavy shadows, looking particularly sad and dignified.

"Never say anything?"

"What is Yan worried about?"

The two of them asked almost at the same time, and they couldn't help but smile down.

Zhu Yan saw that he was waiting for him to answer first, and he didn't want to pretend to be polite, so he shook his head, "I'm just thinking, I don't know if a person's temperament is inherited from his parents, or is it taught by his parents' words and deeds?" ”

"I think it's more about teaching by example." Although Yongwu didn't fully understand what she meant by "heredity", she could guess most of it literally, so she just didn't mention it.

"Those four little girls, the eldest is almost ten years old, and the youngest is three or four years old, and they have been living in such a family, in fact, it is difficult not to be infected by their parents' behavior, right?" Zhu Yan leaned on the carved railing, spent most of the day, and cooked a meal, she was really a little tired, the railing was made of precious rouge wood, with a faint woody fragrance, beautiful patterns, hidden under a light layer of varnish.

"Are you worried......" Yong Wu pursed his lips, he knew that Zhu Yan's worries were not unreasonable, but in today's situation, Zhu Yan could think of the future, and this kind of precautionary vision was really chilling.

Zhu Yan saw that his complexion changed slightly, and his eyes were slightly hidden, "I will never feel that I am ...... Utilitarian, right? Philistines are cunning, selling fame and reputation, and even cold-blooded, wantonly life and death ......"

"Ah Yan, that's enough." Nevergo took a few steps forward.

The light outside the door was blocked by him, Zhu Yan felt that his front suddenly darkened, and he subconsciously moved a step back, but he forgot that he was standing under the steps, and when he stepped back, he was immediately tripped up.

"Be careful." Never reached out to grab her, and if she fell backwards down the stairs, it wasn't a joke.

"It's fine." Zhu Yan firmly held on to the railing on the side, frowned more and more, and forced a smile, "Never have anything to say?" If not, I'll go back. ”

"I'll go up with you." Never seem to have made a lot of determination.

Zhu Yan bit her lip, shook her head slightly, and smiled more and more lonely, "No need, I'll be careful when I walk, don't worry." ”

"What? You're going to marry Xuanqing, afraid he'll be jealous? "It's never hard to say a joke.

However, Zhu Yan felt that in his words, in addition to the ingredients of joking, there was actually a little bit of sourness, and his heart was more and more unpleasant.

But when it came to this, Zhu Yan couldn't let him go upstairs together, stepping on the steps with his feet, without saying a word, and after climbing the fourth floor, he was already so tired that his face was slightly red, and his forehead was full of fine beads of sweat.

A smoky wind blew, and the wind chimes at the corners of the eaves broke again, as if welcoming the return of the master.

“…… This wind chime? Never followed the sound when he saw the wind chimes, and his face froze.

"What? What's wrong with this wind chime? Zhu Yan felt that his face was very solemn, and it didn't seem to be a good thing...... Some of the supernatural stories I had read before suddenly came to mind, and I trembled slightly with fright.

"Don't be afraid, it's just that this wind chime should be a unique form in the Xiang clan, why is it hanging here?" Never walked directly below the wind chime, compared the distance, took a few steps back, jumped up the eaves and took the wind chime down.

Blowing away the dust, the largest copper bell is indeed engraved with the word "Xiang".

"How so?" Zhu Yan became more and more suspicious in his heart, and took the somewhat worn wind chimes from his hand, "This is Xuanqing's sister's hanging here." ”

"Oh? Sister Xuanqing, then he must have an idea about this matter. Yongwu patted the dust off his hands and stared down at her dodgy eyes, "Ah Yan, let's talk about something else." (To be continued......)
