Chapter 46: Li Xiao'e

The Bafang Building, which hosted Li Bashao's birthday banquet, was already overcrowded. I couldn't sit down in the hall, so I had to set up a hundred-meter-long flowing water banquet on the street. Most of the people who eat the flowing water banquet are Yingtian villagers, and they feel that the birthday gift they take is too thin and they are not qualified to enter the house, so they simply sit on the street and leave when they are full.

However, to the surprise of these villagers, Li Bashao did not accompany those squires and wealthy businessmen in the hall, but sat at the table on the street and talked to them about their daily routines. Li Bashao is also from a poor background and knows the psychology of the small people, so when chatting with these villagers, he will always inadvertently tell them that the flowing water banquet is exactly the same as the dishes in the hall, and what the people inside eat, the people outside also eat. Li Bashao didn't want these villagers who came to congratulate him on his birthday to feel discriminated against. After all, the number of villagers who came to celebrate his birthday far exceeded the number of people in the hall.

If Li Bashao acted like this in the past, it was a bit of a sense of being high and low. Since Yue Fei appeared, Li Bashao felt that he had met a bosom friend. After spending more than a month with Yue Fei, Li Bashao found that Yue Fei was level-headed no matter who he faced, neither arrogant nor humble. Even if he is now a regimental training envoy of tens of thousands of troops, the patron saint in the hearts of the people still has not changed his character of dealing with people and things.

Li Bashao sat on the street, half to receive the villagers, and the other half to wait for Yue Fei to appear. Li Bashao's eyes kept looking at the long street. Li Bashao's heart suddenly became uneasy.

For a while, he felt that he shouldn't have talked to Yue Fei about the birthday banquet before Yue Fei set out on the expedition. In case Yue Fei hastily sent troops to congratulate him on his birthday in order not to delay and was defeated by Wang Shan, it would be his Li Bashao's sin. After a while, he thought that Yue Fei had always been calm with his soldiers, and he would not make a mess of his birthday celebrations. After a while, he thought that although Yue Fei was calm, he was the most trustworthy person, and he might really have a hasty decisive battle with Wang Shan in order to celebrate his birthday.

Thinking of the end, Li Bashao suddenly felt that his birthday banquet was too inopportune. Why did you host a birthday banquet when Wang Shan's thief army attacked? If the Protector Army is unfavorable in this battle, he Li Bashao is really an "old and undead" thief.

Li Xiao'e, dressed in plain white clothes, walked out of the Bafang Building. Li Bashao himself came to the villagers of Yingfu on the street, but handed over the reception of Yingtian squire to Li Xiao'e.

Lee Hyo-e is not a person who likes to show her head. But since the sacrifice of her two elder brothers, Li Xiao'e has consciously shared a lot of responsibilities. After all, his father is old.

Li Xiao'e attaches great importance to her father's sixty-sixth birthday, after all, since the sacrifice of his brothers, Li Bashao has obviously aged a lot. Although there was still Li Bashao with a straight waist in front of him, in the back garden of his house, Li Bashao sat on the ground more than once, as if he was crushed by the pain that came one after another.

Li Xiao'e still remembers the resolute but lonely back when Li Mansion was besieged more than a month ago, when her father sent herself and some children into the basement and turned to leave. At that time, Li Xiao'e felt how unfortunate she was to be a woman. When the family is in trouble, not only can they not share their father's worries, but they also have to let their father worry about themselves.

Li Xiao'e, who was hiding in the basement, kept a pair of scissors in her hand and was ready to commit suicide at any time. After all, thousands of soldiers from the three major families besieged a Li family, and the disaster of destroying the family was almost inevitable.

Unexpectedly, at night, the Li family unexpectedly turned defeat into victory. Not only was the whole family unharmed, but also the three families of Fang Zhao and Chu were wiped out. From her father's mouth, Li Xiao'e learned that the one who saved the Li family was a young general named Yue Fei.

But Li Xiao'e's first impression of Yue Fei was not good. Although she hadn't met Yue Fei, she had heard from her maid Fluttershy about Yue Fei's rejection of Li Bashao's proposal. Li Xiao'e lost her temper in her boudoir at that time, and she felt that Yue Fei was a little arrogant.

You refuse this girl, and this girl still doesn't look down on you. This girl is going to marry a hero, but she is not a martial artist who can only kill people and set fires.

However, as Yue Fei formed the People's Protector Army, quelled the rebels, drove away the Liukou, and pacified the displaced people, he could see that Ying Tianfu, who was in chaos, settled down. Li Bashao's favorite thing is to praise Yue Fei's courage and love for the people in front of Li Xiao'e. Once when he came back from the barracks, Li Bashao couldn't stop praising Yue Fei's literary talent.

Li Xiao'e thought she had misheard. She pouted and said to Li Bashao, "Daddy, even if you are trying to train for Yue Tuan, you don't have to lie to your daughter." Isn't Yue Tuanlian a farmer in Xiangzhou? It's not easy to be literate, how can you talk about being literate? ”

Li Bashao chanted loudly, "Angry hair rushes to the crown, leaning on the railing, Xiaoxiao rain rest." Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, strong and fierce. Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. Don't wait, the young man's head is white, empty and sad.

Jing Kang is ashamed, and it is still snowing. When the courtiers hate, when will they be destroyed! Drive a long car and step through the lack of Helan Mountain. Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood. To start from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky. ”

Li Xiao'e was immediately shocked by this poem. She has always been well-read, and she has a special love for poetry. My favorite is Su Dongpo's words, because she likes the chic and heroic spirit in Po Xian's words. But even in the Dongpo Collection, I have not read such a magnificent and fierce word.

After Li Bashao finished reciting this word, he looked at his daughter and said, "How about this song Manjianghong?" ”

Li Xiao'e said in disbelief, "Could it be that this word was made by General Yue." ”

Li Bashao nodded, "As soon as I recite this word, I will think of your two elder brothers." And he hated himself for being old and weak, and he couldn't go into battle. Huang Zong said that Pengju can make the weak brave, and the cowardly dare to raise a knife to fight the strong. It is really a swan song for the ages that inspires the hearts of the people and the army. ”

Li Xiao'e had tears in her eyes, and said convincingly, "What Governor Huang said is true. Even after I heard this, I wanted to use the spear and fight to the death with the Jin people. ”

Li Xiao'e was completely impressed by Yue Fei's words. Unconsciously, Yue Fei's shadow began to appear in her heart often. It's a pity that she has never met Yue Fei.

Although Yue Fei would go to Li's house every once in a while to discuss matters, Li Xiao'e only needed to find an excuse to go to the lobby to see Yue Fei. But she couldn't muster up the courage to go to see Yue Fei. Because Yue Fei refused Li Bashao's marriage proposal.

She was afraid that when she saw Yue Fei, she still couldn't touch Yue Fei's heart. Li Xiao'e has always been very confident in her appearance, but when she was about to face Yue Fei, she suddenly lost confidence.

Although Fluttershy, who is close to her body, says, "Miss is more beautiful than the people in the painting." When General Yue saw it, he promised that his soul would not possess his body. ”

Li Xiao'e patted Fluttershy's brain, "Silly girl, you can't praise anyone." How do I feel that you are saying that I am as ugly as a ghost, and I have scared General Yue to the point that I am not possessed. ”

Li Xiao'e has been troubled by the ambivalence of wanting to see for half a month. It wasn't until her father's sixty-sixth birthday that she could no longer avoid meeting Yue Fei. She had already learned from her father that Yue Fei would definitely come to celebrate her birthday. So I was looking forward to it and apprehensive in my heart. kept rehearsing in my mind how to speak when I met Yue Fei.

Li Bashao put her in the hall and entertained those squires and distinguished guests.

Li Xiao'e talked and laughed with those squires on the surface, but in fact, she was absent-minded at all. So much so that a few times I almost said the wrong thing and lost my etiquette. Fortunately, there is a clever Hua Xiaoqi by her side, who always cleverly covers the past for her.

Since Hua Xiaoqi's ready-to-wear workshop accepted Li Xiao'e's investment, the two of them quickly became like sisters. Today's Li Bashao's birthday, of course Hua Xiaoqi wants to come to help.

However, Hua Xiaoqi obviously felt that Li Xiao'e's mind was not in the hall, and she always looked at the street with her eyes. Hua Xiaoqi misunderstood what Li Xiao'e meant, thinking that Li Xiao'e was worried that Li Bashao would drink too much wine with those villagers, so he secretly said to Li Xiao'e, "Sister Xiao'e, if you are worried about Uncle Li's words, go to the street." ”

So Li Xiao'e found a perfect excuse, walked out, and came to Li Bashao's side, only to find that her father's eyes kept looking at the street. I couldn't help but smile and sigh, and said in my heart that this is the father who must have his daughter.

As soon as Li Xiao'e said a few words to Li Bashao, she saw Li Bashao suddenly stand up, with an extremely bright smile on his face, and his eyes staring at the group of people who were walking towards him. No, to be precise, to be precise, to stare at the young generals at the forefront.

This general is not handsome, if it weren't for those star-bright eyes, placed in the crowd, it would be a passerby. But because of those eyes, as well as the confidence that emanated from his body, this general stood out from the crowd, and Li Xiao'e's eyes slid to his body at once.

Li Xiao'e immediately concluded that this person must be Yue Fei.

Sure enough, Li Bashao blurted out, "Pengju, I didn't expect you to come back so quickly." Is the war over? ”

Yue Fei said with a smile, "Thanks to Li Lao Hongfu, Wang Shan's thief army has already returned to Taikang. When the army of 30,000 came, there were only a few thousand people who retreated. ”

Li Bashao laughed and said with a little self-reproach, "I was worried about Pengju just now, but I really shouldn't have been." With Peng raising a horse, it is impossible for our army to be defeated. ”

Speaking of this, Li Bashao remembered that his daughter was standing behind him, and immediately took Li Xiao'e's hand, pointed at Yue Fei and said, "Xiao'e, this is your eldest brother Yue Pengju." Pengju, this is the little girl Xiao'e. It's the first time you've met today, right? ”

Li Xiao'e's face was already red to the root of her ears, she blessed Yue Fei, and whispered, "Xiao'e has seen Brother Yue. ”

Yue Fei hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Sister Xiao'e, don't be polite." We are not outsiders. ”

Yue Fei felt that he was not rude and his performance was qualified, although he had a short distraction the moment he saw Li Xiao'e. Li Xiao'e is tall, with crescent moon eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, and a faint smile on her white face, with her moon-white gown, it is like Chang'e descending to earth in the moon. Who knew that the damn Ji Qian came to the side, "Oh, Brother Yue, why is your face so red that it is at the root of your ears?" ”

Yue Fei glared at Ji Qian fiercely, resisted the thought of kicking Ji Qian to death, and said incoherently, "The main thing is that the weather is too hot." It's too hot. ”

Ji Qian stopped, but Li Xiao'e's girl Fluttershy said again, "Oops, Miss's face is red too." It seems that it is too hot to be naΓ―ve. ”

This made Yue Fei and Li Xiao'e even more embarrassed. Fortunately, the old man Wang Er of the township is good at observing words and feelings, and when he saw this scene, he immediately rushed forward, bent down at Li Bashao and made a big salute, and said loudly, "Eighth master, do you remember my second king?" The year before last, our village was hit by a disaster, but you sent 20 loads of food to save us. ”

Li Bashao said with a smile, "If you forget it, no one will forget you." You are the number one expert in our Tianfu farming. No matter what kind of land comes into your hands, it can be turned into fertile land for a few years. Now that you are an old villager, you can't think about your own house anymore, and you want to turn the land of the whole village into fertile fields. ”

Wang Erlian claimed that it was. At this time, other villagers also offered their birthday gifts, Li Bashao had a very good memory, he could even call out the names of all the villagers, and then talk to them about the most proud things of the villagers.

was interrupted by Wang Er and the villagers, Yue Fei and Li Xiao'e finally got rid of their predicament. The two of them let out a sigh of relief, but their eyes inadvertently touched another place, and the faces of the two people suddenly turned red again.

However, Li Bashao's laughter is becoming more and more hearty, obviously people are in good spirits when they are happy.
