Zhou Boyan received a sneaky glance from Hao, and he didn't know what he was feeling in his heart. He knew that Hao was innocent, but he couldn't treat Hao with a normal heart at the moment.

What a blessing! met General Gu, got the care of General Gu, although he experienced hardships and dangers, he was still alive, and now he lives under the wings of Qingshu.

And Chu Feng, the child who was also called a son, did not have a chance to grow up, and was not lucky enough to meet another Gu general, so he died early.

Zhou Boyan sighed in his heart. Whether it is the dead Chu Feng or the living Hao, what they have experienced is all due to the mother who gave birth to them and did not raise them or protect them. If he hadn't watched her jump off the cliff and kill him, his mother would have been so ruthless that she could even abandon her own son.

"Brother, Luo Guard's archery is very powerful, do you want to compare archery with Luo Guard?" Qingyang excitedly mentioned yì.

Zhou Boyan came back to his senses, "Luo Guard? ”

"Luo Guard is a very powerful guard in white, he ...... like this," Qingyang gestured for a while, "he entangled the villain and rescued the star, very powerful." In fact, he didn't see what was going on, he only knew that Guard Luo threw something out, and he trapped the other party's hands and feet in a few clicks.

The scene at that time was very chaotic, Zhou Boyan really didn't pay attention to how Bai Wei controlled the subordinates of the Sixteenth Prince and caught Zhou Xing, all his thoughts were on protecting Qingshu and Zhouquan. When he heard Qingyang say this, he became interested, "My brother's archery skills are unsatisfactory, but I can follow my brother's guard long arrow skills, and I can penetrate Yang in a hundred steps." How about the two of them compete? ”

At this moment, Qingyang suddenly remembered that the chief of the guard had picked up the bow and arrow on his body casually, and he didn't even aim at it, and shot two arrows in a row to nail the chickens of Gu Erfeng's grandfather and grandmother's house to the ground. His eyes lit up, "Okay, okay, I'll go to Guard Luo." See you on the martial arts training ground. Before the words fell, he had already rushed out of the study with his little follower Luo Xiaorong.

Zhou Boyan got up and smiled at Qing Shu, "Do you want to go and have a look?" ”

Qing Shu refused, "I won't go." Don't always rely on Xiao Yang's temperament, if the chief of the guard or Luo Guard is unwilling, you are not allowed to force them. ”

Zhou Boyan smiled silently and went back to recruit his own escort team.

Hao bit on the hawthorn slices, his eyes glued to the closed door. He wanted to go with him, but Qingyang didn't call him when he left, and Zhou Boyan didn't call him when he left, he stayed where he was, thinking that maybe Xiaoyang's younger brother would run back and call him to go with him.

Qing Shu stared at the back of Hao's head for a moment, then stretched out his hand, turned his face around, and winked at him, "Do you want to go?" ”

Hao looked at Qing Shu timidly for a while, and nodded slightly.

Qing Shuming knew that this kid Hao was winning the sympathy of others with this appearance, but she still fell for him. She obviously told Zhou Boyan just now that she couldn't go, but for Hao, she immediately changed her mind, "Let's go!" My sister actually wants to see Escort Luo show off her skills. ”

Hao was happy and smiled shyly.

Qing Shu asked Hao to send Hao's hat and gloves over, and then stared at Hao himself to put on the hat and gloves, and then went to the martial arts training ground together. When he arrived at the place, he saw that there was no shortage of Zhou Boyan's eleven escorts, all of them were present, Qing Shu raised his eyebrows, and stared at Zhou Boyan suspiciously, "Isn't it that Luo Guard and the Captain of the Guard are comparing arrows?" What's the matter with you bringing everyone here? "It seems to be a bit more crowded.

Zhou Boyan walked over and stood beside Qing Shu, "There are only two people competing in archery, which is not lively enough." ”

Qing Shu heard that he had other thoughts, "Huh? ”

"Let my escort team compete with your eagle guard, it's not very lively!"

Qing Shu listened and glared at him, "No, Eagle Guard is the last trump card of this girl, and she will never use the trump card until the critical moment, don't want to probe their bottom." She just said, Qingyang and Luo Xiaorong, who ran out to find people first, haven't shown up yet, and Luo's guards are not there, but Zhou Boyan's people are all here. Probably, Qingyang was trying to gather the Eagle Guard at this moment, so it took some time.

Zhou Boyan let her stare at her, "It's just a discussion, you think too much." ”

"Hmph, it's not going to work. I don't speak, and no one wants to mobilize the Eagle Guard. ”

"Don't you want to know if my escort is better, or if your eagleguard is superior? Rivalry can make people progress, this is a sentence that the ancient general often hangs on his lips. ”

"Don't talk about my dad. I tell you that the members of the Eagle Guard are my father's old subordinates, but now they are all my people, and I single-handedly formed the Eagle Guard. In my mind, the Eagle Guards are the strongest guards, and they don't need to compete with others to prove their strength. ”

"But someone wants to see them fight." Zhou Boyan pointed to Qing Shu to look behind.

Qing Shu turned around and saw Qingyang dragging the expressionless Du Escort in his right hand, and the helpless Luo Escort in his left hand. After that, Luo Xiaorong did the same, pulling Hu Si with his right hand, and dragging one of the Eagle Guards with his left hand.

Qing Shu turned around, a little crying and laughing. Qingyang: How much I want to see people compete! I even used this kind of trick.

When they got closer, Du Huwei and the others who came passively gave Qing Shu a salute, and then Luo San asked, "Miss, my subordinates were on duty with a team of four people last night, and I have to hurry up to catch up on sleep during the day, can I not participate in this competition?" ”

Qing Shu smiled lightly, "Compare or not, you decide for yourself, I'm passing by, and I'm leaving." ”

"My subordinates are very sleepy, so I'll go back and continue to sleep." Luo San already had a score in his heart, and he said that he was going to turn around and leave. Du Huwei naturally has to go. When Hu Si and another eagle guard saw it, they also wanted to follow.

Qingyang was anxious, and ran over to hug Luo Guard's arm, "Compare! Than that! It's better than archery, isn't it? ”

Luo Guard can't help it, it's not to go, it's not to go.

Hao trotted over, hugged Luo Guard's other arm, and whispered, "Brother Xiaoyang wants to see it, compare!" Than that! ”

After Luo Xiaorong didn't fall behind, he came over and grabbed the clothes on Luo Guard's body, which was helping Qingyang.

Du Huwei and Hu Si and the other three saw that Luo San was entangled, so they hurriedly smeared oil on the soles of their feet and wanted to slip away. No, the three members of the brocade guards blocked their way, clenched their fists, and said please advise.

Qing Shu stroked his forehead, can't he fight today?

When the atmosphere was tense, Butler Gu came.

Steward Gu felt that the atmosphere on the field was not quite right, but he didn't have time to understand, "Miss, someone from Luofu is here, and I want to take Young Master Luo back." ”

Luo Xiaorong immediately gave up Luo San, rushed to the ancient housekeeper, raised his face, and asked in surprise, "Butler, butler, is my brother coming to pick me up?" ”

This interruption distracted Qingyang and the three boys at once. Taking advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, Qing Shu made a grimace at Zhou Boyan, and then went over and pulled Qingyang and Hao, who were stunned, "Xiaorong is going home for the New Year, let's go ahead and have a look." In fact, she had doubts, if Luofu wanted to take Xiaorong back for the New Year, someone should have come to pick it up earlier, today is the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, where is the time to rush back to the capital for the New Year? Moreover, she has correspondence with Luofu, and the letter delivered by Luofu recently did not mention the matter of taking Luo Xiaorong back to Beijing for the New Year, what is going on?

With this question, Qing Shu took Qingyang, Luo Xiaorong and Hao to the front living room.

Seeing the visitor, Luo Xiaorong rushed forward excitedly, "Daddy, daddy, daddy......"

Luo Jiumao, a father, was equally excited when he saw his youngest son. He picked up his son and looked at it carefully. The son's complexion is healthy and ruddy, his little face is flushed, his eyes are bright, and he is also energetic, obviously, and he has grown a lot taller. He couldn't be happier, and he couldn't stop smiling.

Luo Mingchuan next to him was also smiling, "Dad, there is only Xiaorong left in your eyes, and your son will be jealous." ”

Luo Jiumao laughed, then put his youngest son on the ground and said that it was rude to Qingshu and Qingyang.

It turned out that Luo Jiumao and his wife were anxious, but they were afraid that taking their son back would not be good for their son's health, so they endured it and did not have the idea of taking their son back to Beijing for reunion. It's just that Luo Guo's family really thinks about his son, and in winter, he doesn't think about some tea and rice, and the whole person has lost a lot.

So, Luo Xiaorong's grandmother sent a message, asking Luo Jiumao and his wife to bring their other sons to visit relatives, and asked them to return to Beijing after the New Year. Luo Shangshu said that a large family would cause trouble to the ancient mansion in the past, which was inappropriate. He instructed his son Luo Jiumao to stop at Jinyang City, buy a mansion, and get everything in order, and then go to the ancient mansion to pick up Luo Xiaorong, and the family celebrated the New Year in Jinyang City.

In this way, Luo Jiumao arrived in Jinyang City seven days ago, bought a mansion in only three days, and seized the time to clean it, non-stop to buy the things needed in the mansion, and also to buy New Year's goods, it can be said that he was busy with a house. Roughly everything is done, and the remaining trivial matters, with Guo's presence, the second son and the third son, and the housekeeper, he can rest assured that he will bring his eldest son over to pick up his younger son.

While they were greeting each other in the front hall, the ancient housekeeper was taking people to count the New Year's gifts sent by Luofu. The New Year's gift full of four cars is all good things in the eyes of the rich and noble people in Beijing. Tonics, tea, a variety of good fabrics, mountain goods, fragrant rice (a kind of fragrant white rice produced in the south), and famous sweets in the capital are available.

Luo Guo also personally sewed a set of winter clothes and two pairs of winter shoes for each of Qingshu and Qingyang. The Qingshu sisters and brothers are guarding filial piety and cannot wear brightly colored clothes. Luo Guoshi thought of it carefully, whether it was clothes or shoes, the materials were of high quality, but the colors were very plain, and the embroidered flowers on them were also plain. Not only that, Luo Guo also embroidered a picture of Hanmei used on the screen for Qingshu, and a bamboo forest for Qingyang.

In addition, Luofu gave Qingshu a set of gold jewelry, a jade pendant for each of Qingyang and Hao, and a set of paper, ink, pen and inkstone for each person.

Luo's father and son had to set off for Jinyang City in the afternoon. So Qing Shu prepared a menu for lunch and sent it to the kitchen, so that the kitchen could quickly open up. And she herself began to prepare a return gift to Luofu.

Qing Shu knew in her heart that in terms of financial resources, she was far worse than the Luo family; In terms of the good things in her hand, she can't compare with the Luo family. Therefore, she can only grasp the word strange to prepare for this gift.

Cut sauerkraut, six buckets. Personally brewed fruit wine, ten jars of one pound. Ten packets of sun-dried tender bud grains in late autumn. Previously, Zhou Boyan's caravan gave her a hundred catties of southern seafood. Ten silk peonies, ten moonflowers, and ten carnations, packed into a delicate box. She designed it herself, and a pair of pearl and gold hairpins were carefully carved by the master in Zhou Boyan's Treasure Pavilion. In addition, the good fabrics she stored in her hand, and the various snacks she personally made for the New Year, etc., all added up, and she barely prepared two carts of gifts.

By the time Luo's father and son had lunch, the subordinates of Luofu had already sorted out Luo Xiaorong's daily utensils and loaded them into the carriage.

When Luo Xiaorong was about to board the carriage, Qingyang was reluctant and held his little hand.

Qing Shu came over with a small square bamboo basket in his hand, "Xiao Rong, there are things you like to eat here, take them." ”

Luo Xiaorong took the small bamboo basket and sniffed, his eyes teary-eyed.

Qing Shu saw that Qingyang's eyes were also red, put his hands on Qingyang's shoulders, and said with a smile, "Xiaorong, hurry up and get in the car, the two brothers are going to Jinyang City to see the lights on the fifteenth day of the first month, and they will definitely go to see you when the time comes." More than half a month, it has passed in a flash, and you are not allowed to cry. ”

Luo Xiaorong sniffed, "Sister, is it true?" ”

Qingyang raised his head and stared at Qing Shu, "Sister, is it true?" ”

I can ask the same question, and I am really an inseparable brother! Qing Shu smiled and nodded yes.

In the reluctant sight of Qingyang and Hao, Luo Xiaorong was hugged into the carriage by his eldest brother Luo Mingchuan. Luofu's carriage drove out of the ancient mansion and gradually drifted away, until they could no longer be seen, and Qingyang and Hao followed Qingshu back with a lost face.

Qing Shu turned around, saw the two of them listless, and tapped their heads one by one, "Come, look up, hold your chest, we are manly, how can we be as soft as a little girl." ”

Qingyang and Hao touched the place where they were knocked on their heads, and they were still listless. Chen Qiaojiang was picked up in the morning, and Luo Xiaorong was also picked up in the afternoon. The four of them are used to playing together, but now two are gone, and there are two left, and they can't adapt to it for a while, and they are very unaccustomed to it.

Qing Shu couldn't see them like this, and suddenly waved his hand, "Let's go, my sister will teach you a fun one." As she spoke, she pulled one in one hand and took them to the study, and then sent away the little girl who was following her, and then the door of the study was closed, and she added firewood to the stove, not only untied her cloak, but also took off the robes that Qingyang and Hao were wearing outside.

She removed all the chairs and other things that she thought were in the way, and put them against the wall, making an open space in the middle of the ground. She stood in front of her, "Come, come, come, my sister will teach you a heroic song and dance today, and the name is "Farewell My Concubine". Legend has it that in an era of war, there was a small country called Chu in the south of the river; To the north of the river, there is a small country called Han. In order to dominate the world, dominate, do you know what hegemony is? ”

Qingyang and Hao shook their heads.

Qing Shu rolled up his sleeves, "This so-called hegemony is the meaning of the most powerful person in the world." The king of Chu, nicknamed the overlord of Chu. The king of Han, nicknamed the King of Grass. In order to gain hegemony, the two countries fought. There are many capable people in the hands of the King of Grass, and there is no shortage of those resourceful military advisors. The king of Chu only believes in himself and does not believe in others. In the end, King Cao Mang outwitted Chu, and the overlord of Chu was undefeated but thought he was defeated, and killed himself by the river with his Yu Ji. Some people say that the overlord of Chu is stupid, and some people say that the overlord of Chu is a big husband. In short, people passed this story around, and finally there was the story of "Farewell My Concubine". ”

Qingyang and Hao listened attentively, and had forgotten about Luo Xiaorong's departure.

Qing Shu waved his hand, "It doesn't matter if he's a fool or a big husband, anyway, "Farewell My Concubine" sings very well, and it's better with sword dancing." We don't have a sword in our hands, so let's match our fists! As she spoke, she took a stance, and then deliberately sang Farewell My Concubine in a thick voice, while practicing the half-tone boxing technique she learned from Luo San to match the rhythm of the song.

Qingyang and Hao listened to Qing Shu's strange singing voice, and watched Qing Shu's boxing skills change their taste, and opened their mouths. They watched it for a while and felt that although it was a little weird, the strange song with the changed flavor of the boxing was quite good-looking. So, the two of them looked at each other and began to learn from Qing Shu's appearance.

Qing Shu, who sacrificed his image and performed hard, almost cried. Because she felt that if Qingyang and Hao's movements were really imitating her, it would mean that she was too a failure as a demonstrator. A good and strong boxing technique was actually practiced by Qingyang and Hao as if kneading dough, which hit her too hard. Is she practicing like kneading dough?

Seeing that Qing Shu stopped singing strange songs, he didn't practice strange boxing anymore, but squatted on the ground with his knees hugged, staring at the two of them with a frustrated look. The two of them stopped hesitantly.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Qingyang's face was full of question marks.

"Sister, you, do you have a stomachache?" Hao asked cautiously in a whisper.

Qing Shu was depressed and almost sat on the ground. What is a stomachache? Where does she look like someone with a stomachache?

With a resentful look on Shang Qingshu's face, Qingyang and Hao looked at each other. In the end, Hao whispered to ask for a doctor, and then, like a person burning his buttocks, he rushed to the door with a whoosh, opened the door and rushed everywhere without a head.

After that, his doctor was not invited, but he was brought in by Zhou Boyan with a collar.

Seeing Zhou Boyan, Qingyang's eyes lit up, "Brother, brother, take a look at my sister, sister she is uncomfortable." ”

Zhou Boyan was in a hurry, let go of Hao who didn't dare to move, took a few steps, lifted the corner of his robe, and squatted down in front of Qing Shu, who was squatting on the ground with a resentful face. He first touched Qingshu's forehead, and then asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" What's uncomfortable? ”

Qing Shu glanced at him resentfully, silent.

Hao interjected in a low voice from the side, "Sister has a stomachache. ”

Qing Shu was depressed, put his head on Zhou Boyan's shoulder, and whispered to Zhou Boyan through gritted teeth, "I really want to open the two of their butts now." ”

With a snort, Zhou Boyan, who was originally very worried, couldn't hold back for a while and laughed.

Qing Shu punched him, "Don't laugh." Didn't you see that I was almost depressed to death by their blows? ”

Although he didn't know what Qing Shu was depressed about, and he didn't know how Qingyang and Hao made her depressed, he still thought it was funny.

Qing Shu was annoyed, she suddenly felt that it was too lonely to be depressed alone, and it would be better to be depressed and everyone should be depressed together. So her eyes lit up, and she pulled Zhou Boyan to stand up, "Let's practice boxing together!" "Translated, it's to find depression together.
