Chapter 273: Gift of the Sword
The backyard of the mansion, a remote courtyard house, is the former residence where Yuan Mai has lived for more than ten years.
Standing in front of the peeling door, thinking about the difficulties in the early days of his coming to this world, Yuan Mai couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
The old garden is still there, and the personnel are no longer there; At the beginning, he was blinded and no one looked down on, and now he has turned over and has become a hegemon who owns a state, has fierce generals like forests, and strategists like rain.
"Squeak", the vermilion lacquer door suddenly opened, and a young man burst out of it, grabbed Yuan Mai suddenly, and lifted it vigorously, his excitement overflowing.
"Haha...... Childe, you're finally back, I've packed my bags and been waiting for you! ”
"Xiao Qi, hurry up and put me down, let people see what kind of system it is!"
Yuan Mai patted Zhu Xiaoqi's shoulder, yo, I haven't seen you for two years, this little guy has grown a head taller, and his figure is in the middle of his own, and he is only fifteen years old, he can pick himself up, which is really not small.
"Childe, let me follow you to Hanoi, right? If you don't let me follow, I won't let you land! ”
Fifteen-year-old Zhu Xiaoqi picked up Yuan Mai with all his strength, preventing his feet from hitting the ground, and put forward his own requirements in a tricky manner.
Looking at Zhu Xiaoqi's joyful smile, this is an expression from the bottom of my heart, this is the smile that only the long-lost relatives will show, and the young man's face is unobstructed, full of joy after a long absence......
Yuan Mai couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, he had been busy fighting all these years. Or indulge in the gentle township, but rarely think of this child who once shared the joys and sorrows with him, it really shouldn't be!
In my memory, this child who is four years younger than himself has entered the Yuan Mansion to take care of himself since he was ten years old, and when others are blind to him, a ten-year-old child has worked hard to take care of his diet and daily life, and has never complained because of his humility.
In my memory, before leaving Yecheng, my clothes, shoes and socks were washed and dried by this child; When he was sick, every time he was by his side, it was this child who was waiting by his side with medicine; When you have grievances. He was always there to talk to him......
Although he is only his own servant. But love is like a brother; He is prosperous and rich, and he must not let his brother suffer in this mansion again.
Keeping him in Yecheng before was to be his eyes and ears, and to try to grasp as much of Yuan Shao's every move as possible. And now Yuan Shao is unconscious. You don't have to be controlled by others anymore. There's not much point in staying any longer!
"Okay, this son promised you, little ghost, to let you follow you to Hanoi. Hurry up and put me down! Yuan Mai patted the back of the little guy's head and scolded with a smile.
"Really? It's great to finally be able to leave this ghost...... No, it's finally time to leave this mansion! ”
Zhu Xiaoqi was excited, and the phrase "ghost place" almost blurted out, and the words came to his mouth and swallowed hard. As a servant, how can you use such words to describe the proprietor, "What a damn!" Zhu Xiaoqi scolded himself in his heart.
After Yuan Mai's feet landed, he reached out and punched Zhu Xiaoqi's chest, and praised him: "Tut...... Zhu Xiaoqi, I haven't seen you for two years, your kid has a lot of strength, and his physique is as strong as a calf! ”
"Childe, the villain corrected a mistake for you, my name is Zhu Ling, not Zhu Xiaoqi, this name was given to me by you, have you forgotten?" Zhu Ling scratched his scalp and corrected his mistakes to his master in a serious manner.
Yuan Mai patted his head, looking like he had just woken up from a dream: "Yes, yes...... Yes, you see Childe, I forgot, you have now reached the age of a weak crown, you should no longer call your previous milk name, from now on Childe will officially call you Zhu Ling! ”
"Hmm!"
Zhu Ling nodded very seriously, patted his chest and said: "In the past two years that Gongzi has been away, I have practiced swordsmanship and studied military books hard, and now I have finally achieved a little success, I want to be an official in the military camp!" ”
"To be an officer in the barracks?" Looking at Zhu Ling's serious appearance, Yuan Mai decided to tease him, "There are many officials in the barracks, there are army commanders, even chiefs, team leaders, military candidates, captains, and generals, I don't know what kind of official you want to be?" ”
"Of course it's a general, the person who grew up with Gongzi, wouldn't it be a shame for you not to be a general!"
Zhu Ling pushed open the vermilion lacquer door, let Yuan Mai into the courtyard, and said with a pretentious attitude while beckoning Yuan Mai to sit in the room.
Yuan Mai said with a smile: "I am iron-faced and selfless, I never cheat for personal gain, you can be a general, but you have to show real skills." There is no merit, but no one obeys you! ”
"Okay, I will start as a small soldier first, and I will definitely slowly accumulate merit and become a general, and I won't embarrass you!" Zhu Ling brewed a cup of tea for Yuan Mai and handed it over, patted his chest and made a "military order".
"Second Master Zhen said that my swordsmanship is better than blue, and I can defeat him if I learn swordsmanship from him for a year. He also gave me several military books, all of which were memorized! ”
As he spoke, he gestured with a sword in the room, although his hand was empty, but his footsteps and gestures were clear-eyed, and he had the style of a ranger.
"Okay, rush to your strength, this son allows you to join the army!"
Yuan Mai gave the little guy a thumbs up and praised it, and untied the "Chongxiao Sword" on his waist and threw it away, "You have made a lot of efforts for your son over the years, and this sword will be given to you, I hope it can accompany you to make great contributions!" ”
People who practice swords love swords as their lives, Zhu Ling drew his sword out of the sheath, only to see the cold light flickering, making people feel cold all over the body.
Suddenly laughed from ear to ear: "Oh, this is a sword!" ”
Then he said with a contradictory face: "But this is your sword, Childe, given to me, what do you use?" ”
"Huh...... I am the lord and rarely go into battle to kill enemies, so this sword should be regarded as a gift for you! If I want a sword, isn't it easy? ”
Yuan Mai waved his hand and generously presented the sword to this little brother who had suffered with him for many years, which should be regarded as a reward for him. As for his own saber, it's better to slowly figure it out, this sword is a little tired of using.
There are not a few famous swords in this era, such as Yitian and Qingyu held by Cao Cao, all of which are magnificent swords. In addition, there are some famous swords that have been handed down in the world, such as flying stars, flowing colors, and Hua collars; For example, such as Baihong, evil spirits, meteors, Sizhao, Qingying, Baili, etc., just do it yourself.
"Then I'll take it, I will definitely kill the enemy well, and give your son enough face!"
Zhu Ling happily put the sword back into the sheath and swore an oath.
"Brother Amam? Are you at home? ”
Just as the master and servant were chatting, a crisp call of a little girl sounded outside the door.
Zhu Ling's eyes suddenly became happy, and he smiled: "It must be the little lady who is here!" ”
"Sakura?"
Yuan Mai's eyes flickered, listening to this voice, eighty percent was Zheng Yu's daughter Yuan Ying. But listening to Zhu Ling's voice "little lady", how can it sound so awkward, a little girl who is only eight or nine years old, it is so ugly!
"Don't call the little lady in the future, call Miss!"
"Miss?" Zhu Ling muttered to himself, and then nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Mm-hmm...... This title is good, much better than the little lady, no wonder they all say that you are talented! ”
The master and servant went out of the door together, came to the courtyard and looked out, only to see that it was Mrs. Zheng Yu, with two maidservants, and nine-year-old Yuan Ying, who was walking towards their courtyard.
'Meet your mother!' ”
Yuan Mai strode forward like a meteor and saluted Madame Zheng.
"You don't have to be polite to buy a child!"
Zheng smiled and helped Yuan Mai, who was bowing down, to his lips, the tentacles were as smooth as condensed fat, and a faint orchid fragrance came to his nose.
"After a year or two, you have changed from a white dress to a prince, and even Liu's mother and son are afraid of you, and my mother is very pleased."
Mrs. Zheng looked at Yuan Mai with a smile and praised it sincerely.
Yuan Mai said modestly: "All this is still thanks to my mother who gave me a place that day, so that the child can have today!" ”
"Ah Ying, call brother, don't you shout every day to miss your brother?" Zheng Yu turned his head, gently patted his daughter's beautiful little head, and admonished.
Yuan Mai then set his eyes on this nine-year-old little sister, after a farewell of two years, the little girl became more and more watery, with fair skin, delicate facial features, a pair of big eyes that were crystal clear, two brilliant dimples on her cheeks when she smiled, and a beautiful embryo that was alive.
may be the reason why I haven't seen him for a long time, but after seeing Yuan Mai at first glance, Xiao Yuan Ying was a little angry, no longer as affectionate as before, and pouted: "Is this my brother Amai?" Why did you grow a beard? ”
Seeing the cute appearance of the little girl, Yuan Mai couldn't help but laugh, and suddenly remembered the picture of parting with the little girl two years ago, when she was in her arms, holding her neck and refusing to let go!
"Sakura still remember what my brother told you back then? I said I was going to the forest to catch larks for you and teach you to sing; Think about it, the forest is so big, can my brother run around and catch birds in it, can he not grow a beard? ”
One sentence made Xiao Yuan Ying laugh "Gege", and vaguely remembered the days when "Brother Amari" played with him in the past, who is this bearded guy who is not his own Brother Amari?
But immediately remembered something unhappy, pouted and said: "You lied, Zhu Xiaoqi said, you didn't catch larks, you went to be an official, and you married several daughters-in-law...... Why didn't this god show his spirit, we made an appointment at the beginning, and whoever wants to deceive people will not be able to get a daughter-in-law! ”
Seeing that her daughter and Yuan Mai quickly became acquainted, Zheng showed a pleased smile, and suddenly bent down to Yuan Mai and said, "Mai'er, my mother has something to ask for!" ”
PS: After a long time of expedition, it's easy to come and go back and continue the expedition. Ask for a ticket, and support it! (To be continued......)
