Chapter 229: Etiquette and Affection
In the twenty-fifth year of Han Jian'an (220 AD), the summer of May 30, in the early morning.
Today is the day when the king of Hanzhong ordered Zhuge Liang to lead the north to Hanzhong, and it is also the first day that the imperial court secretly began to implement the Pingqiang policy.
Before dawn, Jiang Wei had already finished bathing and changing clothes under the service of Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu.
The two brothers were still packing their gear and luggage in the stables; Jiang Wei put on his armor and came to the courtyard, and was about to move his muscles and bones when he suddenly heard a cautious knock at the door.
"In the past few days, I have said goodbye to my master and brothers, but I don't know who will come to visit so early today......
Jiang Wei was curious, and paced forward to open the door.
After opening the door, he saw Guan Yinping holding a package in both hands, waiting for Yingying.
Speaking of which, Jiang Wei has been busy with business recently, and he has been obsessed with martial arts practice in his spare time, but he hasn't seen Guan Yinping for a long time, and he was surprised at the moment: "Yinping, why are you here?" ”
Guan Yinping saw his fully armed appearance and asked, "Is the third brother going to leave?" ”
Jiang Wei nodded and said, "Yes, but there is still an hour before the gathering, you can come in and sit down for a while." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to lead her into the courtyard.
Guan Yinping shook his head, only took two steps forward, stuffed the package in his hand into Jiang Wei's hand, and said with a smile:
"I heard that the temperature in the northwest is very different between day and night, and there is a lot of wind and sand, so I sewed this piece of rice and finally sent it to the third brother in time."
Jiang Wei was a little stunned for a while.
In his impression, Guan Yinping knows some martial arts, but the needlework is not at all, and it is unbelievable that she can still sew clothes today.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have a suspicious look on his face.
Guan Yinping knew what he was thinking, his pretty face turned red, and he paused:
"It took them a whole month to learn from scratch, and they sewed every stitch and thread by hand, and they were stabbed several times on their fingers, so you must not make fun of them."
After speaking, he stretched out his ten slender fingers like white jade, flipped back and forth, and showed Jiang Wei.
looked intently, but saw that on every finger of Guan Yinping, there were almost pinhole wounds, and several wounds may have been newly punctured, and the fresh scabs were red and eye-catching.
Jiang Wei suddenly understood that Guan Yinping had been living in seclusion for a month, and he had been working tirelessly to sew a big hat for him.
He was moved in his heart, and said movingly: "Silver screen...... Why do you ...... like that?"
Guan Yinping suddenly withdrew his slender hand and said with a smile: "Originally, it would be okay to sew slowly." But five days ago, the second brother said that you were going to leave soon, and I was in a hurry, so I was stabbed a few more times...... But if it's not in the way, it doesn't hurt anymore now. ”
At this time, the two got closer, Jiang Wei found that her eyes were red, her chest rose and fell slightly, obviously she really resisted the urge to yawn, and after a little thought, she knew that she was staying up late to work.
At that moment, he asked angrily, "How many nights have you not had a good rest in order to make clothes?"
Guan Yinping didn't answer him, but said coquettishly: "It took a lot of effort for people to make it, third brother, don't you see if you like it or not?" ”
Jiang Wei was interrupted, so he had to shake his head helplessly, lowered his head, and gently unwrapped the package.
Guan Yinping volunteered: "I'll help you." ”
He took out a neatly stacked piece of clothing from the package. She only pinched the left and right shoulders of the clothes with both hands, and when she pulled and shook in the air, a dark green big coat suddenly came into view.
This piece is very wide, and Guan Yinping's small man almost has to hold it high to the top, and even has to stand on tiptoe to fully display it.
With her to be a human meat hanger, Jiang Wei bent down to take a closer look.
The style of this piece is a placket with large sleeves, which is wide and laced as a whole, which can not only be used as a cloak to protect from the wind and rain, but also to be worn as regular clothes.
Dayu takes the colorful Shu brocade as the base, and the clothing is embroidered with one after another horse head, antlers, elk body, dragon scales, and the unicorn of the ox's tail, which is lying on the auspicious clouds, looking ahead, blazing.
Illuminated in the sun, this piece is giving off a dark sublude that is unique to precious silks. In terms of exquisiteness, this can really be called a work of art.
But Jiang Wei was a little crying and laughing.
It is a necessity for military generals when they are out in battle.
Because the generals are already very bloated after wearing armor, they can only put on wide robes such as battle robes and big coats; Moreover, the armor is mostly made of metal and leather, which cannot withstand the sun and rain, and the kit can play a role in protecting the armor.
Moreover, the march is not always camped everywhere it goes, and sleeping in the wilderness is commonplace, and in this case, the big dan is regarded as a bedding.
Therefore, generally speaking, most of the large guns only pay attention to sturdy and durable, and this large is too extravagant.
But Jiang Wei thought about it, Guan Yinping spent a month, just to make this piece of Daqi, the etiquette is heavy, and the affection is even heavier, which makes him feel five guilty.
In any case, this is her sincere heart.
At this time, there was a big gap between Guan Yinping and Jiang Wei, and he couldn't see his expression clearly for a while, so he couldn't help but be a little apprehensive, and asked, "Third brother, do you like it?" ”
Jiang Wei took the big from her hand, threw it behind him neatly, put it on his body, turned around left and right, waved his hand and smiled: "Thank you, I like it very much." ”
Jiang Wei was fully armed, wearing silver armor, a dark green coat, cowhide soft boots, and a belt hook with a beast's mouth swallowing gold at his waist; Because he had just finished bathing, his head had not yet dried, and he only used a wooden hairpin to pull it up at will, dyed with a layer of dazzling orange red in the morning light.
She looked at it, but she was stunned for a long time, and Fang muttered, "Really... It's so good-looking......" After saying this, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and his face was dyed with a flying glow.
Jiang Wei smiled, turned around and untied the big man.
Seeing this, Guan Yinping couldn't care about being ashamed, and said hurriedly: "Why don't you wear it?" Jiang Wei said: "I am reluctant to wear such a precious daqi at this time, and I have to wait until the grandest occasion to wear it." “
When Guan Yinping heard this, he only felt that this month's hard work had not been in vain, and for some reason, while breathing a sigh of relief, a trace of sweetness suddenly surged in his heart.
At this time, Jiang Wu carried a white rainbow sword about four feet long, and a green spear on his shoulder, while Jiang Wen led Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei two horses, and the two brothers walked out of the door together.
Xiao Bai snorted, and actually raised her head and took the initiative to hit Guan Yinping's arms, which made her laugh.
After the two sides finished greeting, Jiang Wei asked, "Where is my mother?" ”
Jiang Wen replied: "The master mother is worried about the young master, it was inevitable that she would spend the night last night, and she just fell asleep at this time, do you want the villain to wake up?" ”
Jiang Wei shook his head and said: "Mother is old, I can't see the parting scene, so I don't need to call her....... you go to Jinli to wait for me first, and I will send Miss Guan home and come to meet you." ”
The two brothers answered, shoulder-to-shoulder, and pulled the two horses to leave first.
After seeing the two leave, Jiang Wei and Guan Yinping walked side by side in the direction of Guanfu.
The two talked and laughed, and halfway through, Guan Yinping suddenly raised his head and asked, "Third brother, do you know a guy named Li Yi?" ”
Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment and replied: "Li Yi, he is my friend with my second brother, why did he suddenly mention him?" ”
Guan Yinping frowned slightly, and said: "This person has come to visit the second brother in the house three or four times, saying that he is asking for martial arts, but he always comes to talk to me halfway, I always feel that he is weird, and he seems to have other plans, as if he scolded him." “
When Jiang Wei heard this, his heart suddenly tightened, and his steps couldn't help slowing down.
Seeing this, Guan Yinping turned around and walked with his hands in his hands, and said with a smile: "But since he is a friend of you and your second brother, I will not scold him in the future, just stay away." ”
Jiang Wei was a little helpless, but he didn't want to say anything, so he had to smile bitterly and shake his head.
Jiang Mansion to Guanfu is only more than two miles away, and half a pillar of incense is coming. The two walked to the gate of the Guanfu and stood still in unison.
Jiang Wei asked, "The eldest brother is in Hanzhong, do you have anything to give him?" “
Guan Yinping hung his head and didn't answer, he was silent for a long time, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he said quietly: "The eldest brother and Uncle Liao went to Hanzhong, and the second brother has to go home very late every day, and now even the third brother is leaving...... Jinguan City is so big, but I don't even have a person to talk to....."
Seeing this, Jiang Wei hurriedly relieved: "I'll be back to the ...... soon" Xu felt that this sentence was not convincing enough, and after a little contemplation, he said:
"My mother is also very lonely in Shu, if you have nothing to do, can you go to accompany your mother? She liked you very much from the first time she saw you, and kept nagging, saying that it would be nice to have such a clever daughter......"
Guan Yinping raised his head suddenly, his apricot eyes were smart, and he asked in surprise, "Really?" “
Jiang Wei smiled: "This is natural, when did I lie to you." By the way, in order to thank you for your clothes and take care of your mother, can I bring you a gift on the return trip this time? ”
After all, it is the heart of a girl, after Guan Yinping heard this, a smug smile appeared on his face, and he cheered: "That's it!" ”
******
Although the sky has not yet brightened, the entrance of Jinli Alley has long been lively, full of shops and guys who are ready to open and do business, bustling, so lively.
The two brothers, Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu, found a conspicuous position, and while waiting for Jiang Wei, they chatted, chatted, and gradually talked about what they had just seen and heard at the gate of the mansion.
But seeing Jiang Wenwen said, "Ah Wu, do you say that Miss Guan has a slight meaning to my young master?" ”
Jiang Wu snorted: "Hugh said Miss Guan, isn't Miss Zhang." ”
Jiang Wen was stunned: "Then do you know what the young master thinks?" ”
Jiang Wu thought for a while, and then replied: "I think our young master only likes to dance with knives and sticks, and he is more intimate with the two righteous brothers. ”
Jiang Wen recalled carefully, and said, "It seems that it is really like that." ”
At this time, Jiang Wei was standing behind the two of them, vaguely heard the conversation between the two, and immediately stepped forward and knocked on each of the two heads, and said angrily: "You dare to discuss the private affairs of the master's family, but your skin is itchy." ”
The two brothers were attacked by a sneak attack, turned back angrily, and suddenly saw the gossip in their mouths, and their anger disappeared into nothingness.
Jiang Wen begged for mercy first, and then said with a sad face: "The young master takes Ah Wu with him every time he travels, which is too unfair." ”
Jiang Wu smiled: "Although you are my brother, you are not my opponent in terms of riding and martial arts. ”
Jiang Wen was not convinced, and the two brothers quarreled over each other.
Jiang Wei stepped forward and hooked the shoulders of the two, and said to Jiang Wen with a smile: "You are doing things safely, and you are in charge of the nursing home, I am most relieved." ”
After a pause, he said: "But there will be no shortage of errands in the future, you study martial arts at home, and I will take you with me next time." ”
When Jiang Wen heard this, his spirit was shocked, he glared at Jiang Wu, and clapped his hands and said yes.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the three of them immediately walked towards the north gate.
