Chapter 257, a bowl of longevity noodles warms the hearts and makes people feel a birthday gift
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, although Wu Jin's leg injury has improved greatly, and he can even move a little when he can go down to the ground alone, but this kind of pretend is impossible to participate in the big competition. As the day of Dabi approached, Wu Jin was a little anxious.
"Eldest young master, don't worry, Lu Tunchang has been practicing diligently these days, although they may not necessarily come out on top, but the slave can see that it is not difficult to win the list of eyes and flowers" The bolt followed Wu Jin when he was a child, and he knew this eldest young master very well, so he naturally saw the impatience in the master's heart.
"Brother Lu, although they are strong, but I am going to be criticized after all" Wu Jin also understands that even if he dies here in a hurry now, it will not help, but he just can't settle down.
"The eldest lady often says, since you can't do the mask, then you can be worthy of the big young master, the slave thinks that what the eldest lady said is very reasonable" The bolt understands that the only thing that can make Wu Jin's mind calm down now is the eldest lady. But the eldest lady is busy with the affairs of the military tuntun and the pasture, and she also has to take care of the eldest young master's food and washing, where can I invite the eldest lady to persuade the eldest young master. So I had to use the words that the eldest lady often hung on her lips, and the heart of the young master.
This trick really tried and tested, Wu Jinzhen felt that he was a lot calmer, and walked for a while, and then sat down to rest.
"After all, it's my useless brother who dragged Yan'er down"
"Young Master, if you let the eldest lady listen to this, I don't know how sad the eldest lady will be."
"Hey, I know, if you don't say it, it's just that" Wu Jin sighed, he didn't want to say it, but he couldn't help but think like this in his heart.
As the plug said. After Wu Jin was injured, Lu Ming and Ding Gouwa became more and more diligent in their training, after all, Wu Jin's team was the only one who could compete with other tuns. And these days listen to those unbearable words. The two of them were also unworthy, and even angry. They are in the midst of it, and they feel it the most. is able to live such a good life now, but it is all the credit of Wu Jin's brothers and sisters. Although he can't repay his kindness, he also thinks about what he can do for Wu Jin, and as for whether he can win the first place, he can't force it.
These Situ Yan are just looking at them. She has her own plans.
was busy until August 18, which happened to be Situ Yan's birthday. Where will Duanmu Xuan and Wu Jin forget this important day.
Early in the morning, Wu Jin commanded the bolt. Helping Situ Yan prepare Shou Noodles, the two almost didn't burn the kitchen, and finally reluctantly made a bowl of noodles that looked good, and ate noodles with no strange taste. And Duanmu Xuan is much smarter than Wu Jin. He knows what he cooks better than cooking. Even dogs are disgusted, and he won't make a fool of himself in front of his sweetheart.
He used a carving knife to carve a pair of small wooden figures with his own hands, the woman stroked the qin under the moon, and the man danced the sword next to him, and the appearance of the two villains was Situ Yan and Duanmu Xuan. Packed the gifts in a brocade box, pulled the carriage with ink wind and ink rain, loaded some cloth, and arrived at the military camp before noon.
Situ Yan was tidying up the kitchen that was half-destroyed by the bolt and Wu Jin at this moment. Although he was tired, he could eat the shou noodles made by Wu Jin. Situ Yan was still very happy, which reminded her that when she was in Lijia Village, the four brothers of the Li family almost destroyed all the ingredients in order to celebrate her birthday, and barely managed to make a few fruit pies that were not too burnt. These are all intentions, and they are also what Situ Yan cares about the most.
"Yan'er, I'm sorry for my brother, I just thought that today is your birthday, and my mother would cook a bowl of longevity noodles for Yan'er on this day before she died, so why don't you let the plug clean up in the kitchen" Wu Jin blushed and lowered his head embarrassedly, feeling that he had done something bad with good intentions. Now he has to be tired of the little sister to give him the aftermath.
"I'm very happy today, the shou noodles are delicious, my brother and the plug have been busy for me all morning, this heart is the most cherished. I'll just come here, my brother still has an injury on his leg, let's go back to the house and rest first" Situ Yan is happy from the bottom of her heart, she doesn't care about money, she doesn't care about other people's eyes, what she cares about most is whether the relatives she cares about also care about her, Wu Jin can think of celebrating her birthday, this is more important than anything else.
Wu Jin saw the joy on his little sister's face, so he no longer bothered about the destruction of the kitchen, and went back to the main room with the help of the bolt, and he had nothing else to do except read books these days. Fortunately, Duanmu Xuan knew that their brother and sister liked to read, so every time they came, they would bring a lot of books, and even a lot of military books.
As soon as Wu Jin returned to the house, Situ Yan heard a sound of horses' hooves, and he didn't need to go out to see that the person who came was Duanmu Xuan, and the "Ben Xiao" was a famous stallion, and the sound was slightly different from that of ordinary war horses.
Duanmu Xuan saw that the courtyard door was unlocked, so he threw the reins of the horse directly to Mo Feng, pushed open the courtyard door and walked in, but saw the snow wolf rushing out of nowhere.
The only thing that doesn't welcome him in this family now is the snow wolf, in its eyes, Duanmu Xuan is the bad guy who came to grab food from it, and Situ Yan made fun of him a lot, saying that he was snatching food from the dog's mouth. If someone else says this about him, even if he doesn't die, he has to peel off his skin, maybe he will laugh at the beauty, and he won't care.
"Snow wolf, let's discuss it, today is Yan'er's birthday, do you see if we can get along peacefully" Duanmu Xuan has no way to take the snow wolf, after all, it is Yan'er's treasure, he can't beat and scold, before Mo Feng wanted to give the snow wolf some medicine, but he refused, "Just kidding, if you let Yan'er know that it was he who gave the snow wolf the medicine, I'm afraid that I won't even let him in the future" For the matter of competing with the dog for favor, he has long been deflated, and even Situ Yan likes to "run the night" is better than him, he also accepted his fate.
The snow wolf seemed more docile today than usual, but he just sat at the door of the stove room, blocking Duanmu Xuan from letting him in, but he didn't grin like in the past.
"Little brother, are you there" Duanmu Xuan saw that he couldn't enter, so he had to ask out loud.
"Here, you go into the house and talk to your brother for a while, I'll bring tea in" Situ Yan's voice came from the stove room, Duanmu Xuan was happy when he heard it, it seems that he can eat the food cooked by Yan'er himself again today. His appetite has been raised by Situ Yan for a long time, and he doesn't even like to eat the dishes made by the cooks in the General's Mansion, and he thinks about coming to Situ Yan's house every day to eat. If it weren't for the military tun, there would still be some distance from the border city. He promised to report every day.
"Zhongxian, my leg still hurts these days" The two greeted each other first, and then sat down and chatted.
"Much better. My sister boils medicine and changes medicine for me every day, not to mention that it hurts these days, and there is a slight itch" Wu Jin asked the little sister, knowing that this itch is almost healed.
"It seems that the broken bones have begun to heal, I didn't expect the little brother's medical skills to be so skillful, Zhongxian is so blessed" Duanmu Xuan said something pantothenic.
"Yes" In fact, Wu Jin and Duanmu Xuan chatted together, and the topic was just Situ Yan. When Situ Yan entered the door with the brewed tea. I just heard the two talking about themselves.
"You two generals who lead troops to fight can't talk about war and the art of war. uses me as a topic all day long, and I don't feel bored" Situ Yan's biggest dislike is to let people talk about it, as if she has become an animal in a zoo, which is very awkward.
"The little brother is full of fascination. It's harder than the book of soldiers. Where can it be boring" Duanmu Xuan's words were agreed by Wu Jin, "Yes, Yan'er, sometimes I am also curious, we have only been separated for three years, but you have changed so much, if it weren't for the fact that you and your mother are ninety percent similar, I thought someone was impersonating."
Wu Jin's words startled Situ Yan. I'm too careless these days, and I've shown too much. I forgot to avoid Wu Jin. Fortunately, Wu Jin was mostly joking when he said this, if he was really serious, then she would really be difficult to explain.
"Then brother is not afraid that I am really the impostor" Situ Yan asked tentatively, with some nervousness in her tone.
"If I were still the son of that rich and noble family, you pretend to be my sister, and maybe someone will believe it, but I was just a military household who was slandered, and I didn't even have a house to live in, how could anyone stupidly run to recognize someone who didn't even have a future as a brother to suffer together" Wu Jin thought of the days when he first arrived in Juntun, and then thought about it now, not to mention that it was a false recognition, but there was no possibility of misidentification.
"Yes, maybe there is really such a stupid person in the world" The more Situ Yan said this, the more relieved Wu Jin became, it was all a joke between two people.
Looking at Wu Jin's changing eyes, Situ Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It's just that Duanmu Xuan was a little more careful, he felt that it was impossible for Wu Jin to recognize the wrong person, but he couldn't explain why Situ Yan was so different, it was impossible to impersonate, so there were other reasons. It's just that now Yan'er doesn't want to say, and he knows that it's not the time to ask, so he follows and plays haha. This matter was dismissed as a joke.
"Yan'er, this is your birthday gift, and the cloth on the car outside, not those precious satins, I specially chose some muslin cloth, there are not many things and they are not expensive, you just have to accept them with peace of mind" Duanmu Xuan knew that Situ Yan didn't like gorgeous things, and it was good to be practical.
Situ Yan glanced at Wu Jin and saw that he didn't object, so she said, "Thank you" Wu Jin was actually reluctant in his heart, but thinking that things were not valuable, he lost his manners if he didn't accept them.
Situ Yan opened the brocade box with her back to Wu Jin, looking at the lifelike little wooden figure carved in the box, she had a moment of swaying, although she didn't know who this thing came from, but just looking at this knife skill, she carved her charm so clearly. I know the man's intentions.
"Courtesy is light and affectionate, little brother likes it" Duanmu Xuan looked at Situ Yan's expression with some apprehension, hoping that the person he cared about could like the gift carved by himself.
"Thank you, I like it very much, but I don't know which one of you did it" Situ Yan really likes it, and she doesn't want to pretend to be light and light, so she pretends to be high.
"I made it myself, but it made the little brother smile" Duanmu Xuan saw that Situ Yan really liked it, and he was a little proud.
"You did it" Situ Yan glanced at Duanmu Xuan, and then carefully looked at the little wooden man, if she didn't understand the meaning of this, then she was a pig brain, every knife and every expression on this wooden man was engraved with strong love. Wu Jin sat on the kang and couldn't see the situation in the box, but he also knew that the little sister liked the gift made by Duanmu Xuan herself. It couldn't help but make him a little worried.
"Thank you, then you're welcome" Situ Yan didn't plan to show the contents of the brocade box to Wu Jin, for fear that he would be too careful, so she directly closed the box, so she pretended to be indifferent, got up and put the things into her room.
"Brother sit with Brother Ziheng, I'll prepare lunch" Situ Yan escaped from the hall, and then touched her cheeks that were a little red, compared to the love poems that Duanmu Xuan wrote before, Situ Yan really cared more about this gift. After all, a carving knife is also a knife, and the carving method is like a knife, which can make a comfortable expression, and it is more profound for a person like her who has practiced martial arts all year round.
After entering the stove room, he calmed himself down first, "Situ Yan, don't forget, you are not a two-eight-year-old leftover girl, you are only 10 years old, think less about what you don't have, feel at ease as your little girl, don't show your feet"
After a period of mental construction, I was much calmer than just now, I looked through the ingredients in the stove room, and took out some fresh ingredients from the ring.
She was busy in the stove room, and Mo Feng and Mo Yu handed over the cloth they had pulled to the plug, "Brother Plug, can you let me pull a cart back this time" Mo Yu still remembers the last time.
"No, our eldest lady said that today's gift list will be accepted in full. Do not give a return gift" The plug is the only order of the eldest lady to follow.
"Thank God, if I pull back another cart, I will have to sweep the stables again" Mo Feng looked at Mo Yu who was relieved and a little helpless, after all, Mo Yu and Situ Yan had been together for too short a time, and it was normal not to understand.
Mo Feng pushed Mo Yu, "Mo Yu, do you think that Miss Situ seems to be different from the young master recently" also wanted to remind him.
"It seems to be, I remember that before I returned to Beijing, as soon as Miss Situ saw the young master, her brows were furrowed tightly, and her face was very gloomy.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's a good thing to ruin the young master, be careful of your head" Mo Feng saw that Mo Yu understood, so he was relieved.
"Don't worry, it's just the two of us here, if you don't say it, I won't say it, who else can know"
"The wall has ears, it's better to be careful" The two chatted on the side, and every time they came to Situ Yan's house, they were very idle.
Lunch was made quickly, but it was already on the table in half an hour. Four dishes and one soup, there are not many styles, but the dishes are very fine. Even Situ Yan decorated the plate, which looked more delicious than the dishes in the restaurant.
"Fragrant, delicious" Duanmu Xuan couldn't wait for a long time, today's dishes are all his favorite foods, and even Wu Jin thinks it's better than what he makes on weekdays. In fact, it's just that Duanmu Xuan's taste is very similar to Situ Yan's, and Duanmu Xuanhui is completely wrong, but he didn't specially prepare it for him.
After lunch, Situ Yan wanted to help Wu Jin deal with the affairs in the military tun, and Duanmu Xuan also had to hurry back, and the three of them simply drank a cup of tea and went to work.
After all, the closer you get to Dabi, there are a lot of things in the General's Mansion. And Situ Yan is even busier than Duanmu Xuan, a general, these days, she is secretly practicing riding and archery, and she will repay the damage caused to Wu Jin by anyone in her own way, but these people are not real enemies in her eyes, and they don't need to pay for their blood debts.
