Chapter 257: Cook the Fish
Crash......
In the cold night, the north wind was a little more violent than before, and the hanging flower tree in the courtyard that only left the trunk continued to dance with the wind and scattered branches, as if the next moment, this devastated osmanthus tree was about to be uprooted by the cold wind. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After checking in the courtyard again, Ju'er, who was dressed in a yellow flower dotted jacket, looked back at the study room that was still lit, and between the paper windows that were blown by the wind, the emaciated figure was waving a pen and writing, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
A faint white mist also rose in the bleak east wind, and disappeared in an instant.
In fact, sending troops to feign an attack on Yangqu City again, Ju'er was extremely disapproving in her heart, after all, although the situation of the Xiongnu was stable on the surface, it was still a deep undercurrent, and Sidon was also young, and it was very likely to cause a state of disintegration if he sent troops like this.
However, Ju'er couldn't persuade Sidon, and when he announced the dispatch of troops, the tribal leaders who had been beaten before did not agree, and even left directly, as if the originally peaceful situation of the grassland had once again appeared worrying tensions.
There was no other way but to ask for help from Princess Helian, who was meditating in Kunlun Mountain.
Fortunately, Kunlun has an undesecrated influence on the grassland, so when Princess Helian Xiu Shu came, the matter of pretending to send troops was finalized.
It also made Ju'er's heart calm, but her heart hung tighter.
What if one of the business trips and the two sides fight again?
Scold......
Ju'er exhaled a cloud of white mist again, fortunately, Lord Xiao Liu had come back as he wished, which was a fortunate thing, otherwise the Li Tang court sent someone else to take over the northern land, and Ju'er, the tens of thousands of troops outside the city, really didn't know how to end it.
Today, the whole city is happy, Ju'er has also seen it, and the little Khan King also knows about it, but Ju'er doesn't understand why he can bear the feeling of being happier than anyone else, and he doesn't look for the little Liu, but reads the scriptures quietly in the study as usual.
My mentor has returned after a long absence, and there are many things that need to be taken care of, so I won't bother me.
This is what Seaton said before dinner, Ju'er naturally remembers, but she never thought that the child she watched grow up has gradually grown old.
This time, Ju'er didn't know whether to be happy or worried, after all, Sidon was only a child who had just turned twelve.
It's just that the fate of the entire steppe rests on his thin shoulders.
Thinking wildly, Ju'er looked up at the night sky above her head, the pitch-black sky was so black that people couldn't see the end, but at some point, a star was blown out of shape by the cold wind, although the light was faint, but it was still a different kind of eye-catching.
Perhaps, that is the current Sidon, although the light is faint, but there will always be a moment when a dazzling light will be released, illuminating the entire sky.
Inexplicably sighed a little, Ju'er wrapped her jacket and planned to go back to the house to rest, because tomorrow morning, Sidon will definitely go to visit Lord Xiao Liu, and she still needs to make some preparations.
Just as Ju'er turned around, there was a knock on the door in his ears, and the two daily guards on duty in the courtyard immediately lifted their spirits and strode forward, one of them carried the scimitar to his chest, and the other leaned against the door with his face against him, and asked in a low voice, "Who is here?" ”
Outside the courtyard, Xiao Wu, who was knocking on the door, looked back at Liu Xi, who immediately paced forward, but before he spoke, he couldn't help but smack his lips and think for a while, and then he responded softly, "I am your son-in-law, and I am here tonight to talk about it, and I hope to pass it on my behalf." ”
Hearing Liu Xi's words, the two guards in the house unconsciously became nervous, just because Liu Xi's voice was a little unfamiliar to their ears.
"Don't panic, open the door quickly!"
Ju'er, who was stunned for a moment, suddenly showed a look of joy between her eyebrows, and strode forward to say this to the two guards.
The two guards didn't know why, but they didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly opened the wooden door that had been eroded and turned old by the years.
Liu Xi took the lead in stepping into the courtyard, and saw Ju'er, who had not been seen for a while, a little thinner than when he had parted, but there was also a little more perseverance between his eyebrows and eyes.
Obviously, these days, there has been a lot of suffering.
Thinking of the situation in the grassland, although it is said that Sidon is the king of Khan, but behind the scenes, Ju'er is afraid that she has tried her best, thinking of this, Liu Xi couldn't help but smile and said to her, "I haven't seen it for a long time, the girl is a lot thinner, Sidon is still young, and the girl should pay attention to her body bones." ”
Bending over to make a blessing, Ju'er said softly with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Thank you for your care, Lord Khan, I am afraid that you will be happy to know that you came to visit late at night." ”
Following Ju'er's gaze, Liu Xi saw the figure reflected in front of the window of the study, holding the scroll, his head shaking slightly, obviously reading the book very carefully.
"Does Sidon study like this every day?"
Ju'er, who was leading the way in front, nodded, "King Khan has to recite for several hours, if he doesn't have time during the day, he must make up for it late at night, but if he doesn't read for a day, he can't sleep soundly." The scriptures left by Lord Xiao Liu when he left the grassland can be studied back and forth many times by the Khan King, and now Ju'er can't answer some of the questions he raised, so it gives me a lot of headaches. ”
Speaking of this, Ju'er smiled and patted her smooth and white forehead, as if she remembered the headache scenes that were overwhelmed by Sidon's questions.
Naturally, the face was full of joy.
Liu Xi understands that this is Ju'er's joy for Sidon's diligence and intelligence, Ju'er is Helian's personal maid, and she can't understand piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, otherwise she wouldn't have become a hot corner in Lanling Qinglou back then.
Now Ju'er talks about Sidon giving her a headache, it seems that in the past six months, Sidon has made a lot of progress.
Liu Xi was thinking about it, and he had already arrived at the door of the study, Ju'er stepped forward and knocked on the wooden door gently, and said softly to Sidon in the study, "King Khan, Lord Xiao Liu has come to see you." ”
As soon as the words fell, the sound of tables and chairs colliding was heard in the room, and after a while, I saw that the door of the study was opened, and a thin Seaton appeared in front of everyone, and a pair of round eyes were full of joy.
"The student has seen the teacher!"
Seeing Sidon, Liu Xi couldn't help but feel that he seemed to have grown a little taller than when he parted from the grassland before, and suddenly, it seemed that he had become a good life in this short half a year.
It was so long that Liu Xi had the illusion that it was already a few spring and autumn seasons, otherwise, how could he see Xidong at this moment and have such emotion.
When he sighed, Liu Xi stretched out his hand to help Sidon, who was saluting, up, "I haven't seen you for a while, I have nothing to do tonight, and I heard that you are in this city, so I came to take a look." ”
Seaton smiled and his eyes narrowed into slits, "I heard that the teacher returned to the city, and I thought that there would be a lot of affairs to be entangled today, so the students didn't dare to go to bother, but I didn't expect the teacher to come in person, but the students were very happy." ”
While talking, Seaton invited Liu Xi and the others into the study, and asked Ju'er to deliver a pot of tea, but when Ju'er was about to leave, Seaton called her again, "Prepare some more drinks and snacks." ”
After the order, he smiled apologetically and said softly with Lin Yi, "Because I am still young, Sister A is not allowed to drink, and Sister Ju'er is also very close on weekdays, so there will not be as good wine as 'Mantangchun' on my body, I can only prepare some thin wine, and I hope Mr. Lin will not dislike it." ”
When he heard the word wine, Lin Yi had already come to his senses, and Lu Rui'er was taking care of him, but he was suffocated, where would he pick and choose, and he was busy shaking his head with Sidon, "It's okay, it's okay, I feel very happy now when I smell wine." ”
"Aren't you afraid that you can't even enter the door of the house because of the smell of alcohol?"
Shaking the Qiankun fan, Ma Xiu had a playful smile in his eyes, while Lin Yi glared at him, then spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I came out with you, if you drink, it's your fault." ”
This kind of scoundrel appearance made Ma Xiu speechless for a while, so he could only laugh and scold a few words.
In the midst of laughter, Liu Xi had already seen the scroll on the bookcase, and the small characters were densely packed, making the whole page seem quite crowded.
Seeing Liu Xi staring at the scroll on the table, Seaton hurriedly bowed his head and saluted, and said with panic in his words, "Students are stupid, so the scriptures always have to be read several times before they can be understood. ”
"It's always good that you're willing to study hard."
Shaking his head with a smile, Liu Xi looked at the scroll covered with handwriting again, only one sentence 'governing a big country, if cooking Xiaoxian' was not annotated by Sidon, this time, the surroundings looked a lot empty.
"To govern a big country, if you cook a small fresh."
Liu Xi read a sentence softly, and then turned his head and said to Sidon, "I see that you have annotated with a pen elsewhere, but here, but only a horizontal line is left, which is very clean, why is this move?" ”
Hearing this, Seaton lowered his head shyly, "Although this statement is short, every time I read it, Seaton feels that it is profound, so he does not dare to put pen to paper, for fear of staining the words of the saint." ”
On the side, Ma Xiu and Lin Yi glanced at each other, and there was a little more surprise in their eyes, governing a big country, if they cook Xiaoxian, they understand the meaning, but if they want to get the essence of it, I am afraid they can't do it.
And the more Sidon didn't dare to write at this moment, it means that this young steppe emperor began to slowly comprehend the art of governing the country.
When the two of them were shocked, there was a burst of laughter in their ears, but it was Liu Xi who laughed.
"Have you seen anyone cooking Xiaoxian?"
"It's a shame to say that students don't have the opportunity to see small things when they are on the grassland, so they can only imagine the truth on weekdays. A few days ago, when I entered Yangqu City, the students went to the wine shop to take a look at Xiaoxian's cooking method, but it was as cold as today, and the river was already frozen for several feet, so it was a pity that they could not see the reason of the sage. ”
Hearing this, Liu Xi touched his chin, and then turned his head to look at Lin Yi and the others, "I haven't been able to drink to the wind for a long time, why don't you swim together?" ”
Lin Yi's eyes flashed with a flash of brilliance, and he immediately nodded in agreement, "Very good, look at the weather, there will be a wind and snow in the second half of the night, and it is a good thing to be able to drink a few cups of snow under the red stove." ”
"It's extreme", Ma Xiu fanned Qiankun violently, "If Yusheng is in charge of the spoon himself, it must be a different taste." ”
After that, Ma Xiu made an intoxicated appearance, as if he saw the delicious delicacies, full of salivation and couldn't help himself.
Although the gossip is so, but in Sidon it is quite shocked, since the study of the sage scriptures, he knows that the gentleman is far away from the kitchen, but all scholars take this as an iron law, but the horse embroidery in front of him is far beyond ordinary scholars in Sidon in terms of knowledge and demeanor, but why did he say such words.
Suddenly, Seaton was very interested in Liu Xi's answer, raised his immature and curious little face, and stared at Liu Xi with a pair of round eyes.
"What's so hard about that?"
Liu Xi shrugged his shoulders with a smile, and was about to leave with his feet, but Ju'er, who was carrying wine and food, entered the house first.
Lin Yi smelled the aroma of wine, and immediately stepped forward, took the two warm pots of wine in Ju'er's tray in his hand, and sniffed and sniffed in front of his nose, "This time, it's complete, let's go!" ”
Seeing Liu Xi and the others leaving, Ju'er was quite puzzled, and shouted to Seaton, who was grabbing his jacket and about to go out, "Little master, where are you going?" ”
"Boil the fish!"
In the wind, there was a little excitement in the childish voice.
