Chapter 12 Laughing around the knee

"Brother Yue Tuo, is he ......" Yue Qi took off his coat for Du Class, and stopped talking, and even looked at Du Class with a pair of eyes with a little trepidation.

"We don't need to meddle in other people's affairs." Du Zhi's tone was a little cold, and after taking off his coat, he washed his hands, but turned around and walked out of the door again.

"It's so late, do you still have to go to the study?" Yue Qi hurriedly asked at the moment when Du Qi went out, his tone was obviously a little nervous, and his eyes were a little shy.

"I have something to do, you can sleep first." But he didn't look back, he had always been pitiful and cherished, and he seemed to be a different person at the moment.

Yue Qi opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she was the only one in the huge room, and of course there was the sound of the door closing. Yue Qi hugged the clothes in his hand, and his eyes gradually turned red.

E-Niang told her that the matter of Heqin was solved, and it was Yue Tuo who saved her. Yue Tuo and Du Zhi are the two most favored people in front of the big man, young and promising, with a bright future. One of them is the brother who protects her, and the other is the cousin who married her, Yue Qi feels that she is the happiest person in this family, and most people think so, her identity was originally just a side Fu Jinsheng, and now she once rose to the rank of Fu Jin, and there is a world of difference between the concubines in this kind of family. Overnight, Yue Qi tasted the envy of others.

In the days of waiting for marriage, in addition to looking forward to it, she was actually more afraid, she was afraid that a little movement would change her life. She got rid of everything that would affect her, and finally waited for the day when she got on the sedan chair. But it turned out that the days after marriage were restless, and they all gave her the status and respect of Chang Fujin, but they did not give her a husband's tenderness for his wife. She didn't even feel like she was willing to say a word to her.

As for Yue Tuo, he used to have some pity for his sister, but he became more and more indifferent. She didn't mind this, after all, her brother was cold to everyone, but today, just today, her brother, who has always been cold as frost in his eyes, also has feelings, and those eyes full of distress and pity were originally given to that person, the Lan Xigege she had envied since she was a child.

Yue Tuo's robbery of relatives is undoubtedly hyped up, one is Taiji, who refuses to ask for marriage from many parties, and the other is Gege, who was sent to and returned to his relatives, and they are inexplicably tied together, and the people of the entire Hetuara City are this topic after dinner.

Well-meaning people feel that one is the eldest brother of the crown prince and the other is the eldest brother of the third princess, and these two people are very compatible. There are also jealous people, there are too many legends of Lan Xigege, Du Du, Guohuan, Yue Tuo, and Turge all want to marry this Gege, and some versions will add Du class. This Gege's methods are really clever, especially her appearance is not stunning.

Lan Xi'er was really afraid that she would be drowned by spittle, so she obediently locked herself in her room for the whole winter, even if she was sick and did not attend the Spring Festival family banquet. Brother and Gege have not moved, and the rumors have faded.

In the spring season, the third princess finally took her big Gegra out of the courtyard and accompanied herself to the eighth brother's mansion to admire his newly married Mongolian Fujin.

"E-niang, my daughter won't go in, just walk in the yard, wait for E-niang." The third princess glared at her precious daughter, this timid personality was not like herself at all. Although he sighed in his heart, he didn't say anything, nodded, turned around and entered the door.

"Enie, let's kick the shuttlecock." A young female voice attracted Lan Xi'er's attention, and when she heard the sound, she walked into the backyard and saw a four- or five-year-old Xiao Gege, shaking a shuttlecock in her hand, lying on the lap of a beautiful woman, coquettishly asking the woman to teach her to kick the shuttlecock.

The woman looked young, just a few years older than herself, but little Gege called her Enie. However, this is also a common thing in large families.

"Enie won't, you let Mama teach you to kick." The woman smiled while wiping Xiao Gege's sweat, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of love.

Xiao Gege glanced at the two grandmothers behind Egne, Lan Xi'er also looked at her, and couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, those two grandmothers were much older than Xiao Gege's Enie. Sure enough, the two grandmothers squinted their eyes and waved their hands in sync.

Xiao Gege pursed his mouth, looking very playful and cute, Lan Xi'er finally couldn't help but chuckle. The woman was obviously stunned when she saw Lan Xi'er, and hurriedly got up and smiled.

"I'm sorry to disturb the side Fujin." Lan Xi'er knew that this was the eighth uncle's side Fujin, the eldest brother's mother in this house. Hurriedly bent down and saluted.

Fang Fujin nodded in return, and the two grandmothers behind him also hurriedly saluted: "Say hello to Gege." ”

Lan Xi'er nodded and raised her hand in vain.

Xiao Gege had a pair of big eyes, looked at Lan Xi'er, and said slowly: "Do you know how to kick the shuttlecock?" ”

"Lan'er, don't be unreasonable, hurry up and say hello to your cousin." Although Fang Fujin was blaming Gege, his smile was amiable and his tone was also doting.

"Lan'er greets her cousin." Xiao Gege is a serious please, and it can be seen that she is a female doll who understands the rules.

Suddenly called a cousin, Lan Xi'er nodded stunnedly, and looked at Fang Fujin for some reason.

"This is Yue Tuo's big Gege." Fang Fujin smiled softly.

Yue Tuo, when she heard this name, Lan Xi'er's heart trembled. Take a deep breath and relax. Yes, since his death in Fujin, his Da Gege has been raised by the side of his eighth uncle, Fujin. Lan Xi'er looked at Xiao Gege again, and there was indeed the shadow of his Ama between his eyebrows, the same delicate air.

Xiao Gege circled around Lan Xi'er and opened his eyes wide:

"And who are you?"

"Lan'er, why are you so unreasonable." Fang Fujin scolded again.

Xiao Gege lowered his head and pursed his lips again:

"There are so many cousins in that family, I can't tell the difference."

Lan Xi'er sneered: "My name is Lan Xi'er, so how are you going to distinguish me?" ”

"Then I'll call you Aunt Lan, okay?" Looking at her smiling appearance, as if she had seen Yue Tuo, Lan Xi'er smiled and nodded.

"Okay, Aunt Lan, can we kick the shuttlecock now?" Lan'er said that she had already run to Lan Xi'er with a shuttlecock.

"Lan Xigege, just accompany us Lan'er to play in the courtyard for a while, I'll go and drink the medicine and come back."

"Fang Fujin is not feeling well?"

"It's sick, Gege will stay with her for a while, and I'll come when I go." Lan Xi'er nodded, and one of the grandmothers immediately came over, helped Fang Fujin, and went back to the room.

"Then you can kick the shuttlecock?" Lan'er raised the shuttlecock again and shook it in front of Lan Xi'er.

Lan Xi'er laughed confidently, took the shuttlecock and kicked it directly.

"It's great, Aunt Lan, it's great." Lan'er clapped her hands and jumped and jumped.

After kicking for a while, Lan Xi'er suddenly kicked the shuttlecock high above her head with a little force, raised her hand with her head up, caught the shuttlecock steadily, and turned to look at Xiao Gege with a smile: "How?" ”

A series of movements with a playful smile, naturally floating out a little free and handsome.

"It's great, it's great, Aunt Lan." Xiao Gege danced and applauded, but when he saw that Lan Xi'er's words had just fallen, the smile on his face immediately put away, and the whole person froze and looked behind him, and hurriedly turned around to look.

"Amma."

It turned out that not far from the courtyard, Yue Tuo arrived, where could Lan'er take care of others, and ran directly into Yue Tuo's arms.

Yue Tuo also had a smile on his face, looked at Lan Xi'er, and when he saw his daughter running over, he looked down at his daughter with a smile, took his daughter in his arms, and walked in front of Lan Xi'er. The smile is still warm and amiable.

Lan Xi'er was actually very afraid of seeing Yue Tuo, and she was really embarrassed in her heart, but seeing him at this moment was natural and casual, and she didn't want to think about it too much, so she looked at each other and smiled.

"Greetings to you." On the other hand, the grandmother was sober, bent her legs to say goodbye, and interrupted the two of them looking at each other.

Yue Tuo nodded and raised his hand weakly.

"Amma, you're really here." Lan'er said as she put her arms around Amma's neck.

"Amma promised to take you hunting, and of course she will come and pick you up. Can you go? After Yue Tuo finished speaking, he looked at the grandmother who had just asked for peace.

"If you go back to your master, Gege's things are ready, just wait for you." Mama then took out a bag from the back hallway.

"Okay." Yue Tuo hugged his daughter with one arm, and then took over the burden with the other hand.

"If Xi'er is fine, go hunting with us." Yue Tuo's smile was very sincere, and his tone was very natural.

Lan Xi'er was obviously taken aback, and looked at Yue Tuo in disbelief. At this time, it is natural to get as far away from you as possible.

Before he could refuse, he heard Xiao Gege shout: "Okay, okay, Aunt Lan, come with us." Amma promised to catch me a bunny. ”

"Go, go out for a walk, or ride a horse." The sudden appearance of the third princess surprised several people in the courtyard and hurriedly saluted one after another.

"Say hello to the third aunt." Yue Tuo said that he had put down Lan'er.

"Say hello to Enne." Lan'er also has a decent greeting.

"Say hello to the third princess." The grandmother on the side did not dare to slack off.

Mang Guji raised his hand to signal everyone to be exempt, smiled and looked at Yue Tuo, and then at his daughter.

Lan Xi'er frowned, shook her head, and looked at Eniang helplessly, but unfortunately her Eniang ignored her expression, and just talked and laughed with Yue Tuo, making her feel that it was very natural and natural for her to go out with Yue Tuo.

Lan Xi'er felt a pang in her heart, looked at Eniang, and smiled sweetly: "Okay." ”

He nodded to Yue Tuo again. Seeing that she looked fearless of life and death, Yue Tuo chuckled lightly and took his daughter's hand.

The three of them said goodbye to Mang Guji and swaggered out of the courtyard.

Hunting is naturally going out of the city, Lan Xi'er found that Yue Tuo and the eighth uncle had a very unusual relationship, so she went directly to the stable and chose one for her, and the three of them and two horses set off. Outside the city, Sonny was waiting for them with a team of people, and Lan Xi'er was sure that this group of people was stunned when they saw her coming with Yue Tuo, but their faces soon returned to normal. Sure enough, the people who travel with their leaders will look at their faces.

At the beginning of spring, although the temperature rose, the mountains were still bare, Lan Xi'er looked at Lan'er, who was happily making a cage with Sony, and asked Yue Tuo worriedly: "Can there be rabbits in this barren mountain and wild mountains?" ”

"An hour ago, I asked Sonny to put a few in the mountains." Yue Tuo raised his eyes and looked at the sun in the sky, "At today's temperature, it's no problem to live for an hour." ”

Lan Xi'er looked at Yue Tuo and saw that he was also looking at herself, with a harmless smile on her face. Lan Xi'er shook her head and arched her hand: "Yue Tuo Taiji really has a way, admire." ”

Yue Tuo also arched his hand seriously: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”

Before the two of them finished speaking, Lan Xi'er couldn't help but glare at him with a smile on the corner of her mouth, but Yue Tuo smiled even more wantonly.

"Amma, look." Lan'er carried the small cage and ran to Yue Tuo's side, stopped and looked around, "Amma, where is the little rabbit?" ”

"Well, the cage looks like it. Sony, I can't see that you still have this craft. ”

Sonny didn't answer, and nodded respectfully.

Lan Xi'er felt that she was really as cold and silent as someone else.

"Be patient when hunting, Ama asks people to boil the chicken soup, and after a while, the fragrance wafts out, and the rabbit comes." Yue Tuo said as he sat down on a large rock and held his daughter on his lap.

An hour passed, and several people drank the chicken soup, and there was not even a shadow of the rabbit. During this period, Sony made some gadgets out of bamboo for Lan'er. However, Lan'er's patience was still exhausted, and she pouted: "Amma, don't you know how to hunt, we walked around a few times, and we didn't see a little rabbit." ”

"It's okay for Ama to hunt, you ask your sister-in-law Lan." Yue Tuo successfully threw his daughter with a sad face to Lan Xi'er, and when he saw his daughter walking over, he looked at the two with a wicked smile.

"Aunt Lan." Lan'er pouted and looked at Lan Xi'er listlessly.

"Yes, yes, you're the one who fought the wolf. Hunting bunnies is not an easy task. Wait, wait. Lan Xi'er glanced at Yue Tuo, and then smiled busily to comfort Lan'er.

"Amma, you can fight wolves, Amma is such a hero." Lan'er's enthusiasm was really mobilized again, and she ran towards Ama with her hands dancing.

"Of course, Amma is amazing." Yue Tuo said and picked up his daughter again.

It has long been rumored that after Yue Tuo Fujin died, he threw Da Gege to Huang Taiji regardless of it, at this moment, it seems that the father and daughter are not as unfamiliar as rumored outside, Lan'er is coquettish and naughty in front of her Amma, Yue Tuo is also full of spoiling, and the picture is very warm.

Lan Xi'er thought of her Ama and sighed lightly.

"I came to you for distraction, not for sighing." As Yue Tuo spoke, he had already walked to Lan Xi'er's side, and Lan'er also followed others by the stone and didn't know what to search for.

Lan Xi'er smiled bitterly in her heart, looked at Yue Tuo, and before she could speak, she suddenly saw Yue Tuo raise her hand and throw it, and a stone flew out, and there was a muffled sound in the grass not far away, obviously hitting something, Sonny rushed over, and soon her face was happy, and when her right hand was raised, there was already a little white rabbit that kept shaking.

Lan'er ran over excitedly with the small cage, and Lan Xi'er also walked over with a happy face. A snow-white rabbit was placed in a cage. Lan Xi'er couldn't help but chuckle, what a deception to the little girl, such a clean, snow-white rabbit didn't look like it was running around in the mountains.

"Amma, I've really got it. Amma is awesome. ”

Yue Tuo stood proudly not far away and nodded, smiling like a child.

Lan'er held the cage and fed everything she could feed the rabbit in her hand. Yue Tuo looked around with a confused expression.

"Not to mention, there are eight rabbits, why did only one come in the middle of the day."

Lan Xi'er smiled coquettishly, "Next time you ask someone to boil a big pot of carrot soup, it is estimated that it will be all in a moment." ”

Yue Tuo suddenly looked at Lan Xi'er thoughtfully, and said seriously: "Insightful." ”

After the two looked at each other, they both laughed.

Lan'er heard the laughter and looked at Amma, then at her sister-in-law, and laughed too.

"Lan'er, the rabbit has been caught, the sun is already in the west, we should go back too."

"Let's go back, we don't look at the stars?" Lan'er looked up at the sky, not to mention the stars, and there was no moon.

"Look at the stars, and when the stars come out, we'll all freeze to death." Yue Tuo said as he ordered someone to clean up the mess and prepare for the return journey.

Lan'er was a little disappointed, standing still and not moving.

"Lan'er likes to look at the stars, and you can also watch the stars in the yard." Lan Xi'er bent down and brushed Lan'er's hair. Said gently: "It's getting late, the mountains will be very cold, and the little white rabbit can't bear it, and it will freeze." ”

When Lan'er heard this, she quickly looked down at the little rabbit in her hand, and immediately nodded obediently.

Lan Xi'er took her little hand, and the two walked into the middle of the crowd and set off down the mountain.

Lan'er looked up as she walked, looking around, as if she was still looking for stars.

"We won't see the stars until it's dark. We can see the stars every day, why is Lan'er in such a hurry. ”

Lan'er bit her lip, glanced at Ama who was walking in front again, lowered her voice and whispered: "Ama said that Eniang is in the stars, I want to see Eniang, but I can't find it every day, I want to stand on the mountain and watch, maybe I can see it more clearly." ”

Lan Xi'er's heart tightened, and sure enough, Yue Tuo in front of her also trembled in her back.

Lan Xi'er knew that after his Fujin died, he refused to marry again, and he had heard that he was obedient to Fujin before, but at this moment, Lan'er suddenly mentioned it, and he didn't know if it would be his reverse scales, and he wanted to interrupt the past, but Yue Tuo had already turned around.

Lan Xi'er looked at Lan'er worriedly, and took a step in front of Lan'er, blocking Lan'er's young body.

Lan'er also saw that Ama was a little serious, so she carefully moved her body and hid behind Aunt Lan.

"When you miss someone, look up at the stars, and the stars will convey it. That's what you told me when I was a kid, and now you have to explain it to my daughter. Yue Tuo suddenly looked at Lan Xi'er with an innocent face.

Lan Xi'er almost wanted to cry without tears, but her heart relaxed, she raised her head and glared at Yue Tuo confidently and said, "What you said when you were a child still makes sense, and it is naturally an eternal truth. There's nothing wrong with that. ”

Yue Tuo sneered, where did this come from, not to mention where it made sense. Shaking his head, he walked over and carried his daughter on his shoulder.

Lan'er laughed.

The three people under the sunset, walking and stopping on the mountain road, talking and laughing, are very warm.
