Chapter 12: The Friendship of Brother and Sister
When the morning dawn came, a few small finches fell from the willow tree outside the house, chirping and flying around. A carrier pigeon flew in the distance, and flew away against the top of the willow tree, startling a tree of small finch, and flew away in a daze.
The eaves outside the window were still dripping with the rain that had not fallen in the night, smashing into the small puddles on the ground, stirring up ripples that disturbed the reflection in the water. The bluestone slabs in the courtyard were wet, and when one foot stepped over, a little muddy water was raised.
An Jing lay on the railing and saw Su Yu pacing from a distance.
"Ziyu! How did you end up here? ”
Su Yu was shocked when he heard this, how could there be anyone in this deserted courtyard, his eyes flickered a few times, and then he turned around and smiled, "Why is Zijing here?" The weather was fresh in the morning after the rain, and I came to practice swords. ”
"Sword practice?" An Jing suddenly became interested, "Can Ziyu teach me by the way?" ”
Seeing An Jing's face full of anticipation, Su Yu thought about it, and suddenly smiled: "It's okay, but ...... I can't let you use a real sword this time. After that, he looked meaningfully at the trees on the side.
An Jing thought about the scene of the last sword practice, lowered his head, and was a little embarrassed, "Ziyu Mo is going to make fun of me, I was in a bad mood that day..."
"I know" Su Yu folded a wicker stick and handed it to An Jing, "It's just a matter of life experience, why are you so concerned, some things, knowing it will only increase your troubles, and not understanding it is not necessarily a bad thing." ”
The spring willow after the rain, with the unique fragrance of plants and trees in the moist breath, An Jing took the wicker, shook it, and learned Su Yu's movements, "I just want to know, who my aunt is." ”
"If you practice the sword, you will practice seriously." Su Yu raised An Jing's sword-holding arm, "You are too thin, you have to eat more and run more in the future." ”
An Jing smiled wryly.
"I'll show you the basic body method, and you can practice on your own when you go back." Su Yu thought for a while and said, "Look carefully, I'll only demonstrate once!" After that, he practiced smoothly.
This body method is smooth, but the footwork is also basic and easy to understand, An Jing has almost mastered it after watching two or three.
"Thank you Ziyu for not giving up and being willing to teach me this person who has no foundation." An Jing saluted.
"Hahahaha!" Su Yu said with a smile, "You and I have known each other for so long, and we are studying together at the palace master, so it is not life-threatening." Although you have not apprenticed, it is okay to call me Senior Brother. ”
An Jing also thought it was good: "Teacher...... Brother, then I will call you Senior Brother from now on! ”
The two looked at each other again and laughed heartily again.
Seeing An Jing walk away, Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at the small door behind him, and said, "Come out, she's gone." ”
The small door opened with a "squeak", and a small guy came out, and respectfully made a big salute to Su Yu, "I've seen adults!" ”
Su Yu helped the little guy up: "Shen Ke? How did you get here. Is there any special command from the Lord? ”
Shen Ke hung his head and frowned slightly, "The Lord said that this matter must be told to you in person." ”
"What's so important?" Su Yu was a little puzzled.
Shen Ke looked around to make sure that there was no one, so he whispered a few words to Su Yu.
"Okay, I remember. Go back and return to the Lord. Su Yu nodded.
"No, this matter is very important, and the Lord has commanded me to assist you in Herning. It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, but if you have something, you can go to the outskirts of the city to find me. Shen Ke took identification in his words, and after speaking, he went out from the small door again.
Su Yu returned to his room, looked at the booklet, and recalled what An Jing had said earlier, his doubts about his life experience, and his thirst for knowledge.
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, and Su Yu unconsciously began to pace back and forth. Eventually, one of the booklets was extended to the candle flame......
Lord, Yu is indeed unfaithful this time, but after all, she is just an innocent person, a young and lively girl, and she doesn't even know her own life experience.
Inside the Hou Mansion
Henin waited for the dust to return home, and when he saw Gong Suzhong, he was very happy: "Mr. Gong, happy event, great happy event!" ”
Hening waited for this sentence suddenly, so that Gong Su Zhong did not know why, and there was still a vague sense of ominousness.
"Master Hou! What a joy? Gong Su Zhong looked at Heninghou's excited appearance and saluted.
Heninghou couldn't hide his smile: "Hey~ Mr. doesn't have to be polite!" Get up! Hahahaha! Chang'an is going to hold a national sacrifice, this is a rare opportunity for Yu to return to the court, I have presented a note, I believe it will not be long before I can return to Chang'an! ”
"Master Hou! You! Gong Su Zhong was taken aback, and then thought of the stakes of this matter, "Master Hou is confused!" ”
Hening's joy continued, and Yu Guang glanced at Gong Suzhong, "Sir, where does this start?" ”
Gong Su Zhong looked at the servants and maids who came and went in the courtyard, and motioned for Heninghou to enter the house to talk in detail, and Heninghou followed with a trace of doubt.
"Master Hou, this move is very inappropriate!" Gong Su Zhong made a big salute, knelt on the ground, and looked at Hening Hou, who was careless, sitting on the couch and drinking tea, "Today is not a person without memory, because of the tribute before, Hou Ye was cut down, it has only been two years, Hou Ye thought this matter was over?" Besides, there has been no progress in the matter of the hidden pile..."
"Enough!" Hening waited for the teacup to drop on the table, interrupting Gong Suzhong, "Sir, you have to remember your identity!" The matter of the hidden pile has been searched for a long time, but there is no progress! Maybe there is no hidden pile at all! Now the opportunity is rare, Ben Hou must take this opportunity to return to the court! ”
What else did Gong Suzhong want to say: "Master Hou..."
"Sir, don't say much! I don't know if Mr. is really thinking about Benhou's great cause, or is he like Zhang Jing, who advances and retreats together on the surface, but is actually a greedy person who is afraid of death? After saying that, he slammed the door impatiently and walked out.
"Alas! Hou Ye insisted on going his own way, this is going to happen! Miyajuku was full of disappointment and muttered to himself.
"Master!
Just as he was thinking about Heninghou's words, he saw An Jing coming over, "Master, you and your father ...... Got into a dispute? ”
Gong Su Zhong nodded helplessly, "Hou Ye presents a recital, I want to go back to Chang'an to participate in the sacrifice, since the founding of the Zhou State, only the kings of the past dynasties are qualified to preside over the national sacrifice, I'm afraid something big will happen!" Hou Ye's identity is special and empty, but he is not good-looking, impetuous, and hides from afar, and Mingzhe protects himself, but he invited himself to participate this time, I guess it is related to the instigation of the rabble, and now he doesn't even listen to the old man's persuasion, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will cause a big disaster! ”
"So serious?" An Jing couldn't help but feel worried when she heard this, "It's a pity that my father is extremely disgusted with me, otherwise I can still persuade one or two......"
Gong Suzhong's eyes were glazed. After a while, he replied, "Perhaps, this is fate...... and then turned away with a hint of desolation.
An Jing originally had an important decision to discuss with Gong Suzhong, but now it seems that he has to mention it after a while.
