Early the next morning, Xue Shao got up early and was the first to go to the backyard to exercise in the morning.

From the day Pegasus returned to Beijing until now, many days have passed. Xue Shao's body and heart finally recovered from fatigue and restlessness. Especially after returning to Beijing, the turmoil he experienced, several ups and downs, made Xue Shao deeply feel the meaning of a few words that he had only seen in books before, and the sea was up and down.

Throughout the ages, there have been too many stories of the ups and downs of famous ministers and generals. Xue Shao was cut off from his military position and turned into a civilian official this time, although the promotion of his official position and rank was not a degradement, but it was a career setback for his promotion and demotion in secret. It's just that Xue Shao's rise and fall are different from many officials who have lost power, firstly, he is about to marry Princess Taiping, and secondly, there is a factor of "risk avoidance". In other words, Xue Shao's political future and political capital have not been ruined.

But no matter what, Xue Shao finally experienced a frustration himself. Now, he can understand Li Bai's mood when he wrote the sentence "I am sad to go away from the night, when will the golden rooster be pardoned back". Men and husbands have great ambitions and want to achieve something. When there is too much gap between the cruelty of reality and the ideals in my heart, the shame, depression and frustration in my heart are indeed unbearable.

After a short period of morning exercise, Xue Shao was sweating violently, and his clothes were all soaked. He stopped on the single-plank bridge to rest for a while, and looked up, the red sun was rising and the morning glow was full of sky, and the entire ancient city of Chang'an was immersed in a dazzling beauty, majestic and magnificent.

"It was a good experience." Seeing such a beautiful scenery, Xue Shao couldn't help but smile to himself.

In history, who has achieved great things without going through several ups and downs? The strength of the heart and the perseverance of the soul need to go through a lot of trials to create. If a man does not experience a little setback, how can he fade away from his youth and ignorance and become upright?

"The vicissitudes of the sea, Fang shows the true character of the hero", in one sentence, it is a heavenly opportunity!

After resting for a moment and taking a breath, Xue Shao was about to calm down and practice his crossbow, when the sound of the moon slave and the demon child fighting came from the bend of the corridor.

Xue Shao looked back, and the female man Ziyue Nu carried the demon on her shoulders and strode over. The demon kicked with both feet in the sky, humming in his mouth, resisting the morning exercise as many times before. The fierce dog Didiu followed quietly behind the two, and did not express any dissatisfaction with the master who bullied her by the moon slave, and from time to time he stumbled a few times or rubbed the slender legs of the moon slave, and he was very cute in front of the second daughter with a slave face.

Xue Shao smiled when he saw this scene, he really didn't experience a little turmoil, and he didn't know the joy of ordinary life.

"Brother Fairy, save me, woo!" The demon saw Xue Shao with his head on the ground, waving his hands and wailing.

"Little lazy worm, don't scream, Childe won't save you." The moon slave carried the demon to the center of the polo field and put it down, shouting like a general who is picking up the eggs of a recruit, "Immediately, run ten laps!" ”

"Woo, I don't want ...... People haven't woken up yet! The demon screamed without tears.

"If you don't run, you'll stew it!" The moon slave is fierce.

Didiu wow screamed and fell to the ground, usually a pair of black and fierce wild eyes flashed a pitiful light, looking at the situation almost shouted "A good man spares his life".

You'er wasn't frightened, her eyes rolled, she touched her head and laughed, "You're definitely willing to die for me, right?" ”

"Woo ......" Di Di wailed and stretched out his tongue to lick the demon's little hand, and now he was really about to cry, and his eyes were wet.

The moon slave was quite speechless, grabbed the demon's ear and scolded. The demon child is exaggerated and screaming and jumping around, like a nervous kitten.

Xue Shao became amused the more he looked at it on the side, and walked over and said, "You'er, you are in such poor health, you can't always be lazy." The moon slave is also for your own good. ”

"Okay then......" The demon replied pitifully, stretching out a small slap, "Five laps is good?" ”

"It's eleven laps now!" Yuenu Tiger shouted vigorously, obviously using Xue Shao's method of training in the army, and strictly disciplined all soldiers who suspected the bargaining of military orders.

"Okay, okay, ten laps is ten laps!" The demon was frightened, and the girl ran over. The fierce dog Didiu quickly followed, barking quietly beside him as he ran, cheering on his owner like a cheerleader.

Xue Shao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Yue Nu smiled happily and said softly, "Childe, you haven't laughed so happily for a long time. ”

"Is there one?" Xue Shao smiled slightly, thinking that I seemed to have been snubbing the moon slave for a long time.

Seeing that Xue Shao was in a good mood, Yue Nu was also smiling, and immediately said: "Childe, there is still an interesting thing today, which may make Childe happy." ”

"What?" Xue Shao asked.

The moon slave turned his head to look at the demon and said, "Today is the birthday of the demon child. ”

"Oh?" Xue Shao smiled when he heard this, and said: "It seems that I have indeed ignored too many things, the demon has lived in the mansion for a long time, and I don't even know about her birthday." How old is she today? ”

"She was confused, she said twelve and thirteen for a while, and then asked and said that she had forgotten." The moon slave replied with a smile and a smile.

Xue Shao laughed a few times, and stretched out his hand to summon the demon who was running lazily, "Come here." ”

The demon ran over panting, trying to make a very hard and hard look, "Brother Fairy, you have pity on me, two laps are enough, right?" ”

"Let me ask you, is it your birthday?" Xue Shao asked.

You'er nodded again and again, "Yes, yes!" I've seen other people eat and drink well on their birthdays, and wear new clothes. I don't want any of that, just let me run a few laps less and let me go back to sleep! ”

"You want to be beautiful!" The moon slave was angry and funny, and grabbed the demon's ear again, "The delicious food, drink, and new clothes have nothing to do with you, that's an adult's business." The child's birthday is beaten, and he doesn't grow up! ”

Xue Shaoha's big smile said, "You're not too young, many women are married at your age." Why don't you still look like a child of what age? According to the moon slave, today is the time to beat you up. ”

"Woo, I don't want it!" The demon wailed, "Actually, in fact, today is not my birthday, it's the birthday of Sister Yuenu!" ”

Xue Shao and Yuenu laughed together, and the demon also laughed stupidly.

After laughing for a while, Xue Shao said that he should invite Mrs. Pei and set up a banquet in the mansion to celebrate the birthday of the demon. After hearing this, Yue Nu immediately went to Zhang Luo, leaving Xue Shao and You'er here to continue their morning exercises.

Xue Shao taught the demon to take a step, the little girl practiced very lamely, her ass was very high, and her two arms should have been clenched into fists, but they were also crooked, and she pursed her lips and frowned to make a very pitiful masochistic expression.

Xue Shao couldn't bear to look at her cute Lori at all, and smiled helplessly: "That's it, for the sake of today's birthday, you will be exempted from the rest of the morning exercise." ”

"Yay! - "The demon jumped up in joy, "go back to sleep!" ”

When the fierce dog heard this, he began to run wildly, and quickly ran back to his kennel and lay down.

You'er was immediately angry, "I mean, I'm going back to sleep!" ”

Xue Shaoha hugged the demon with a smile, "You'er, do you remember how old you are?" ”

"I don't remember." You'er shook her head in confusion, "Only my mother remembers." Unfortunately, my mother is dead now. ”

Xue Shao smiled slightly, "Your birth day is your mother's Good Friday. Today, let's go and worship her together! ”

"Thank you, Brother Fairy!" Speaking of her mother, the demon's tears immediately welled up and rolled down like beads with broken threads.

Xue Shao hurriedly wiped her tears and persuaded her not to cry.

"Since you can't even remember how old you are, ...... When you turn twelve today! Xue Shao said helplessly, anyway, the demon doesn't look like a thirteen-year-old.

"Okay, twelve is twelve, the fairy brother has the final say!" The demon wiped her tears and agreed.

Xue Shao smiled: "Okay, don't cry your nose." Today is your birthday, be happy. After a while, the moon slave will cook a good meal for you, so that you can eat well. Your godmother will also be invited, and after dinner, we will take you to the West Market to buy new clothes, and by the way, play and shop around! ”

"Yay!" The demon laughed with tears in her eyes, hugged Xue Shao's neck and kissed her fiercely on the face, "Brother Fairy, it's the best for me!" ”

Xue Shao smiled, and his mood was very comfortable.

There are still some days before the wedding, and it is not a pleasure to live an ordinary life quietly at home. Xue Shao began to understand that a handsome general like Pei Xingjian would be an amiable and even a little old man like an old urchin in life.

The more men who have experienced strong winds and waves, and seen a lot of bloodshed, life and death, the more they need a gentle place that is not polluted to place those hard-won ordinariness and warmth.

Not long after releasing the demon and leaving the racecourse, Wu Ming came over to find Xue Shao.

Xue Shao saw that his clothes were half wet and he was full of energy, and he had obviously practiced martial arts in the morning. Now Wu Ming can be regarded as a "mysterious person" in the house, he rarely leaves his separate courtyard, and even eats alone in the meditation room. Unless Xue Shao is looking for something to do with him, otherwise, he is basically in a state of "invisibility".

"Childe." Wu Ming stepped forward and bowed with his fists in his fist first, and then said, "I have something I want to discuss with my son." ”

"Well, you say."

Wu Ming said: "The wedding day of the prince is not far away, so it is reasonable to send someone to Jeju in advance to invite the prince and the third prince and his wife to Beijing to attend the wedding together." ”

"Hmm." Xue Shao nodded, "This matter is already being handled by officials from the Ministry of Rites. ”

"Having said that, Childe might as well send someone to invite him himself. The officials of the Ministry of Rites will only announce the will of the imperial court, how can they convey the brotherhood of the prince? Wu Ming said, "It's better to let me go to Jeju and invite the prince!" ”

Xue Shao thought for a moment and nodded, "It's okay." Then there is Master Lao! ”

Wu Ming hugged his fists and bowed, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't forget, Childe, bring Her Royal Highness Princess Taiping down to worship your parents." ”

"......" Xue Shao was silent for a moment when he heard this, and nodded. I thought to myself that I remembered to take the demon to worship her mother, but I forgot my own parents. They have accompanied a generation of emperor Li Shimin to rest in Zhaoling for ten years.

It's time to take a look.

Take Princess Taiping and go with you!
