In this wilderness, the earth can only be used as a bed and the sky as a quilt, and the group is encamped like this. In the late autumn night, there is already a deep coolness. However, the sky was fine, a bright moon hung high in the night sky, and countless stars dotted the deep sky; A meteor that crosses by from time to time adds a mystery to this interesting night. After a while, piles of bonfires have been enveloped, and the quiet night sky is accompanied by the sound of crackling flames, which embellishes this night scene with warmth and calm. In the second half of the morning, Li Jingheng shot down a few hares on the way to follow them, which became a stunning delicacy on the bonfire.

The group sat around the bonfire, and the brother and sister met each other, and they had a different family relationship. While speaking, the snow goose naughtily threw herself into the arms of the eldest brother. Li Jingheng looked at the snow goose and said happily: "Come on, come on, let me see the girl I haven't seen in the past few years!" Grandmother has been nagging at home every day these days: it should have arrived, why haven't I seen a shadow yet? Is something wrong? Let me inquire about you... the return date; I never thought that today, our brother and sister would meet on the battlefield. Alas......"

Immediately after Li Jingheng's words, he quickly pushed away the snow goose, and said in a mischievous and domineering tone: "Okay, you Li Xueyan, look at the good show you sing today, don't think I don't know your fancy intestines!" ”

Xue Yan pretended not to know and muttered aggrievedly back: "What a fancy intestine, they are all scared to death, who would have thought that these people would turn their faces and deny people, I should thank my eldest brother, if it weren't for you, I would have died under their knives today."

"Cut, scared to death, the ghost believes you! Since you can be with these Turkic soldiers, they can't harm you! Looking at the situation, if it weren't for you, how would they have gotten out alive? It's a good time for Zhou Yu to hit Huang Gai! ”

Xue Yan looked at Li Jingheng in surprise, then tried his forehead with her pink little hand, and asked with a little mischievousness: "Big brother, I haven't seen you for a few years, why have you become smarter?" And this scene, Wang Xuance, who watched it, couldn't help laughing.

Li Jingheng saw that the hare had been roasted, so he took the lead in handing it to the snow goose, and replied neatly: "Your eldest brother and I have never been stupid, you can hide from me with this little cleverness!" Eat it! ”

While happily eating the fragrant hare, the snow goose said to Li Jingheng: "Actually, the Turks are not all bad people, they have neither burned, killed and looted, nor have they robbed houses, why should they be wiped out!" You have to have a merciful heart! ”。

"You little girl, what do you know! You're still together, and you haven't even taken a closer look at what they're mainly purchasing this time? Most of them are iron tools, and this is going back to be forged into weapons, understand! This border is strictly forbidden to trade, which is the national policy of my Datang. It's already like this, if it does, my Datang's weapons won't all run to their Turks! This iron weapon is a valuable resource for war, so don't be clever in the future! Li Jingheng admonished this girl with a ridiculous tone!

Listening to his words, Wang Xuance seemed to understand that the original intention of the imperial court to prohibit trade was here. However, what governs the country and the border cares about is to educate the people, and it is always better to be sparse than blocked! It's a pity that he's just a fledgling kid. Thinking of this, looking at the blazing bonfire, I forgot to turn the hare; As part of the rabbit meat was burnt, the fat and tender fat dripped on the bonfire, causing a sizzling sound, which pulled Wang Xuance back from his daze and hurriedly turned the hare.

After a while, another hare had already been roasted, and Wang Xuance separated it with a knife and handed half of it to Li Jingheng.

"You're the one who saved the snow geese, aren't you doing good kung fu?" Because of yesterday's battle, although Li Jingheng had the upper hand on the surface, he still felt far from this Wang Xuance secretly! Therefore, Li Jingheng, who took the rabbit, had a look of arrogance and disbelief in his eyes!

Although Wang Xuance had penetrated everything, he still nodded sincerely with a smile!

Seeing the two of them, Xue Yan hurriedly said to Li Jingheng: "Big brother, I forgot to introduce you to each other, this strong man, named Wang Xuance, saved my life three times and twice, thanks to his care along the way." This complimentary remark made Wang Xuance a little embarrassed.

Then he said to Wang Xuance: "This is my eldest brother, who has been robbing things with me since he was a child, and he still doesn't let me!" "It's just a grimace. Wang Xuance heard Xue Yan say this, and took advantage of the situation to give Li Jingheng a salute and said: "When I saw it yesterday, Brother Tai is really extraordinary, and a silver snake spear is not leaking, and the younger brother admires and admires!" Li Jingheng took the rabbit meat while giving a perfunctory return salute!

Speaking of saving the snow goose three times and twice, he was also quite strange, what happened to the little girl along the way! So, Snow Goose told Li Jingheng the bizarre story along the way in detail! From the death and escape of the guards, to the abnormality of the coachman, and to the assassination of the man in black! Although Li Jingheng also listened quite seriously, he was very helpless in the face of a clueless problem, so he could only press it for the time being!

Although it was just some homely conversations, Li Jingheng gave Wang Xuance the feeling that he was arrogant and rude, which may be a common problem for children living in official eunuchs!

Looking back at Li Jingheng again, he has a pair of treacherous eyes, always looking at people with colored glasses. always feels that Wang Xuance has bad intentions against this baby girl, coupled with yesterday's battle, in the face of the competitive Li Jingheng, he will always be like a thorn in his throat; But fortunately, I will arrive in Jinyang tomorrow, send some silver taels, and let him leave quickly!

Before I knew it, the night passed, and this night was a good night's sleep for some people, because finally there was no need to splash and wander, such as snow geese. It seems that everyone has a greater sense of security, such as Wang Xuance. For Li Jingheng, all this seems to be a satisfactory explanation for his grandmother and father.

As the warm sun rose, the weather still looked good, with white clouds in the blue sky. Although the grass outside the plug has also turned yellow, the hare running towards the sunrise and the birds crossing the sky from time to time make the late autumn plug more agile. Although there is no more magnificence of cattle and sheep in the wind and grass, it is also more natural and calm!

The snow goose who got up early was very excited, because she was about to see her grandmother, who was thinking about it day and night. And Wang Xuance also felt that it was time to leave, his mission of sending snow geese had been completed, and he should also put the matter of going to Chang'an on the agenda!

Along the way, a few people talked and laughed, and in less than half a day, they arrived at this Jinyang. I saw that the Jinyang city wall was thick and strong, with a radius of more than 30 miles; Because this land of Longxing has always been valued by Gaozu and Emperor Zhenguan, it is even more solemn; In addition, this is an important town in Guannai, and the prosperity is no less than that of Luoyang and Chang'an!

A group of people entered this Jinyang City in a mighty way. I saw that the palace of the king of the city is located in the west of the city center, the area is considerable, more than 100 acres, quite a royal style; Early in the morning, the old lady had already heard that the snow goose was about to return home, and she had already asked the door to clean the courtyard. Clean up your room, get your meal ready, and wait for your baby granddaughter to return!

The snow geese who entered Jinyang City were also very happy, and the place where they grew up was still so familiar; I don't know if my grandmother is in good health? Are the teeth still tough? Are you still flexible?

In just one cup of tea, everyone has arrived at the palace of the king of the city. The old lady had long ignored the etiquette, and happily went out of the gate with the support of the maid to welcome this precious granddaughter who had not seen her for several years. The ancients often said: people are in good spirits when they are in a happy situation, and when they are in a good mood, they look a little younger. I saw this old lady, in her seventies, with gray hair, combing a beautiful bun unique to a noblewoman, wearing gold and silver, dressed appropriately and gorgeously. A bright satin outfit, plus this royal dragon head cane lifted in the right hand, looks a different spirit!

When Xue Yan saw her grandmother coming out of the house to greet her, she hurriedly dismounted, walked over quickly, and pulled her wrinkled hands with tears of excitement and said, "Grandma, how can you go out of the house to meet me, it's so tormenting granddaughter!" ”

I only heard the old lady say: "In our house, don't care about the number of etiquette, if you want to talk about the number of etiquette, count your most rude!" Come and let me see my little grandchild, have you lost weight" As he spoke, he looked east and west, looking up and down at his own granddaughter! Then he said: "This is gone, but it's been four years, and I still remember that at that time, you were still a big baby, and now you are so tall." Looking at the small body, it has the grace of my Li girl! In a few words, the snow geese snuggled up to them like humans.

Looking at the intimate grandparents and grandchildren, Wang Xuance and Li Jingheng had already dismounted and walked to the old lady. At this moment, Wang Xuance took a closer look at this grandmother, a loving mother, kind-eyed, amiable, and at first glance she was a reasonable old woman next door. So he followed Li Jingheng's footsteps and also said a blessing to the old lady. Looking at the two kneeling down, the old lady hurriedly asked them to hurry up, and her eyes shifted from Li Jingheng to Wang Xuance. With a slightly puzzled look, he asked Snow Goose: "Who is this?" ”

Xue Yan was reminded by her grandmother, and hurriedly introduced her to her, this is the young man who saved herself many times and escorted her all the way, surnamed Wang and named Xuance. Hearing Xue Yan say this, the old lady thanked with gratitude: "Thanks to the strong man all this way, you are the benefactor of my Li family" As she spoke, she handed over the dragon head cane to the attendant on the side, pulling Xue Yan with one hand and Wang Xuance with the other. Welcome the two into the house.

I saw this old lady sitting upright on the plain mahogany Taishi chair in the main hall; After the guests and hosts sat down, the old lady once again looked at the snow goose in detail, sometimes asking the east, sometimes asking the west, pulling the homely routine, but also quite warm. And Xue Yan looked at the grandmother who was getting tougher and more gratified, people said that there was a treasure in the family, and she felt that grandma was the biggest baby in the family! At this time, the snow goose with a gurgling stomach told the old lady in a slightly negotiating mischievous tone: "Grandma, I'm hungry, can we start eating...... After speaking, she muttered and looked at the old lady.

Saying this, the old lady suddenly brightened up, and said in a distressed tone: "Yes, yes, yes, see that my little grandson is hungry, quickly, quickly, tell them to pass the meal......" After a while, the attendants put a large table full of delicious food and drink. And the snow goose was naughty watching this, never thought that grandma was so attentive to herself, and all the dishes she liked to eat when she was a child! But looking at such a banquet, it suddenly made people swallow three feet and their appetite increased greatly......

This first dish: is the noodles, the second dish is: oily meat, the third dish is: buckwheat noodles**, followed in turn, mutton steamed dumplings, flowers and plums, Jinyang old tofu, pea cake, plus egg mash, etc. Looking at the meal that had been neatly arranged, the old lady hurriedly beckoned everyone to sit down. Since there is meat and special food, it is impossible not to live without this special wine, Xinghua Village Fenjiu, looking at everyone who has been seated, the attendants carefully poured the wine glasses in front of them. So a happy and peaceful banquet began......

After the meal, everyone's stomach is full. The old lady liked this little granddaughter too much, so she pulled her to chat for a while. In the second half of the morning, the snow geese had nothing to do, so they beckoned Wang Xuance to go to Jinyang City together......

Just as the snow goose was about to step out of the gate of this palace, she was not careful, and was hit by a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl! When Snow Goose was about to reprimand him with a big grin, he looked at it and it turned out to be Xiao Cui!

This Xiaocui is none other than Snow Goose's maid four years ago, who was originally going to follow Snow Goose to Rencheng, but in the end, because of the death of her mother, she could only keep filial piety in Jinyang for three years. No, a few days ago, I received the old lady's order to go out to buy some things, and I never thought that I would meet the master when I came back today. The master and servant, who had not seen each other for many years, saw each other here and were very affectionate, so Xiaocui returned to the old lady Jun Zhi and walked out of the palace gate with them.

This Jinyang City is located on the northern border, full of all kinds of vendors, and at the same time full of the style of Saibei, it is really too different from the Central Plains. Snow Goose asked Xiaocui about her situation over the years from time to time, and Xiaocui also inquired about what happened to Snow Goose along the way; The three people walking side by side are talking and laughing, admiring the prosperity and liveliness of the street, which is very pleasant!

Walking around a corner, I suddenly saw a circle of people in front of me, and the sound of beating and scolding suddenly started. Sometimes the three young people just join in the fun, and they just go around by the way. In the middle of the crowd, a woman in her thirties was teaching a teenage child with a willow branch; Again and again, the child who beat it only cried; And the woman scolded angrily while beating: "Look at you, little rabbit, will you dare to ...... in the future"

Wang Xuance has lost his parents since he was a child, and he really can't stand watching this scene. So he stepped forward, grabbed the willow branch raised high by the woman, and said confidently: "How much mistake can a child make, teach me a little lesson, just go home and say a few words, it's been so long, forget it" Xue Yan also came up in between these words, and said a few words of justice for the child! The people around were also pointing and whispering something.

Hearing them say this, the woman looked at Wang Xuance, who was firm, looked at Li Xueyan, who spoke earnestly, and cried with a wow: "The children are all the flesh of the heart that fell from the mother's body, how can you not feel distressed when you fight!" It's not that this rabbit cub has done too many evils, and he can only do this if he has no way, and let him have a long memory. ”

After such a thing, Snow Goose asked curiously: What can such a child do wrong?

But when she saw the woman, she explained with sadness: "I and the shopkeeper are both diligent craftsmen. The shopkeeper originally wanted to teach him the craft, but he didn't learn it well, and he used his father's name from time to time to deceive! It's just that our husband and wife are real people, and the villagers are not easy to talk about it openly! Later, we inadvertently learned about these things, and we also educated him five times or three times, but it didn't work at all! This afternoon, he used his father's name to deceive ten copper plates of Aunt Wang's house next door! Parents are parents' after all, and children who come out of the ground are children, and they take the credibility of their parents to swagger and deceive everywhere, can this be good! How can you not let the hearts of parents chill! ”

When Wang Xuance heard this, he seemed to feel a little, slowly picked up the child, patted the dust on his body, looked at the bleeding wound, and said to him seriously: "Child, it's not right for you to do this, look at your mother's anger, quickly compensate your mother!" ”

After this reprimand, this child seems to understand something! Slowly walked in front of his mother and wiped away his mother's tears with his immature little hands. Said sincerely: "Mother, this is all my fault, I will definitely not dare in the future, and I hope that my mother will atone for my sins!" ”

When the woman saw such a docile scene of the child, she immediately took it into her arms and cried again: "What kind of evil is this", under the repeated persuasion of Wang Xuance and Xue Yan and others, the woman led the child home, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed......

The most important thing in life is family affection! Grandma's love for her grandson, brother's love for her sister, and family's love for their children, only love is eternal and precious in this world, and only the dedication of relatives to themselves is selfless and fearless. Only by cherishing this family affection in life is the greatest care for parents and family!
