Chapter 19: Errands

Rosewood served the same meal, duck with eight treasures, steamed sea bass, choy sum with chicken sauce, beef soup, mixed vegetarian dishes, and a plate of pickles.

Xue Pingping asked Zi Sandalwood to step back, sandwiched a piece of fish, cleaned up the fish bones, put it in the Mengyouyou bowl, and said, "The meat on the belly of this fish is the most tender, you eat more." ”

"You eat too."

"Okay." Xue Pingping smiled back, although she only said three words, but compared with the previous coldness, it was already a boost to him.

Attack the heart first, move people with emotion, exchange heart for heart, continue to be tender, and take down the dream as soon as possible.

Thinking like this in his heart, Xue Pingping picked up a piece of duck meat and prepared to eat it, and the little servant came in and told him that Hou Ye called him over.

It may be that his errand has come to an end! But I haven't eaten a bite of this meal yet, forget it, it's still important to get down to business, maybe I can go to my father's to catch a bite of dinner.

He said softly to Meng Youyou, "Madam, you eat first, and I'll come when I go." ”

When he came to Qingfeng Courtyard, Xue Fugui had already finished eating and was rinsing his mouth with tea.

"Dad, how is my errand, has it been settled?"

"Well," Xue Fugui put down the teacup and said to him with a serious face: "You will report to the Imperial Forest Army early tomorrow morning, but when you enter the Yulin Guard, you must abide by the rules in everything you say and do, train hard every day, and protect the safety of the palace in the future, so you can't take it lightly." ”

"My son knows!" Xue Pingping rolled his eyes and asked, "Dad, what is my official position?" ”

"You don't have any qualifications now, just an ordinary sergeant, the first task is to exercise and study, and when you understand the rules, I will arrange for you to inspect the palace gate."

"Daddy, do you have any acquaintances in the Royal Guards to take care of?"

"I and Xiao Dahai, the left commander of the Imperial Forest Army, have done some stealing things together before, and this time I also told him a lot of good things, so I gave you such an opportunity, tomorrow he will be on duty to train the army, he knows that you are my son, and he should take care of one or two."

"Okay, I remember. Dad, then I'll go back first, I haven't eaten yet. "Everything is said and done, he has to hurry back to find Mengyou, maybe he is still waiting for him to eat together?

"Remember to wake up early tomorrow! Don't let the Commander take a bad impression of you on the first day. ”

"Got it, let's go." After speaking, he hurriedly ran to the Xiushui Courtyard.

When he came to Xiushui Courtyard, Zi Sandalwood saw him and said, "Madame has rested." Madame said that you are tired today, so you should go back early to rest. ”

"So, is there any more food?" Xue Pingping was still hungry, and looked at Zi Tan and asked.

"Mrs. still has a lot left after eating, but I heard the dog outside the courtyard barking loudly, Mrs. said that it can't be wasted, and it is used to feed the dog."

Xue Pingping's face is black, feed the dog? It's that he thinks too much, and he still wants her to wait for him to eat together, but he is not as good as a dog in her heart! Xue Pingping had no choice but to go back to Langyue Pavilion hungry, if he wanted to subdue a woman's heart, it was not a matter of one or two days, let's think about it in the long run.

When the little guy saw him come back, he yawned and asked, "Has the young master eaten?" ”

He waved his hand, he didn't have any appetite, he fell directly on the bed and covered his head and fell asleep, but he didn't sleep peacefully, he kept dreaming, one time it was his wife, and the other time it was his wife, all of them were cold, no matter what he said well, no one gave him a good face.

The rooster crowed three times, the people in the outer courtyard had prepared breakfast, and some of the people were cleaning the courtyard.

Xue Fugui had breakfast, thinking of the lazy son, afraid that he would forget the time and make a mistake, so he sent a little servant to call him.

Xue Pingping was dreaming, and when he saw that his wife was about to forgive him, he was woken up, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed. But when he saw that it was the person next to his father, it was not easy to have a seizure, so he quickly got dressed, washed up briefly, drank a bowl of porridge, and prepared to go out, and he was going to report to the Imperial Forest Army today.

Walking to the front yard, I saw the figure of Meng Yu in front of her, she was also stepping out of the gate, and the purple sandalwood curtain was waiting next to the carriage. Xue Pingping thought that Meng Youyou must be with Gu Nanzhi again today, without himself watching by her side, if Gu Nanzhi coaxed and seduced Meng Youyou, it would not be good.

He immediately shouted out to stop Meng Youyou, "Madame so early? Are you going to inspect Zhuangzi today? ”

"Today, I'll go to see the dim sum shop first, and then go to Zhuangzi." Dream Youyou replied calmly.

"Then you should bring a few more guards and maids, and call them if you have anything. Although Gu Nanzhi is trustworthy, he is an outsider after all. Xue Pingping instructed, he was really not at ease.

Meng Youyou thought that he would come out with him, and he would be a follower today, but he meant something else, "I have a sense of proportion." Where are you going? ”

"My dad helped me get an errand, and now I'm going to report to the Royal Guards." Xue Pingping said, with a hint of pride and confidence on his face, and thought to himself: Don't you dislike me for not doing my job? I'll do something for you to see!

"Very good, then you work hard, don't seek to get ahead, and it's good to hone your temperament." After Meng Youyou finished speaking, he got into the carriage.

Xue Pingping snorted in his heart, just look down on him like this? Then you must behave well and let her see!

Xue Pingping came to the training camp of the Imperial Forest Army and saw that the guards were neatly and solemnly lined up, holding spears in their hands, and shouting slogans deafeningly.

He first reported his name to the guards at the gate, and then was taken to the training ground in front of the camp to wait. Xiao Dahai, the commander of the left, was practicing his arrows, and there were already several arrows on the target a hundred steps away, and when he finished shooting the last arrow in his hand, he walked towards him without hurrying.

"You are Xue Fugui's son?" Commander Xiao's voice was like a bell, with scrutiny in his eyes, Commander Xiao was already rugged, and there was a scar on his face.

Xue Pingping trembled a little in his heart, but he still replied calmly: "It is Xue Pingping, the son of Xue Fugui, who has seen Commander Xiao. ”

"Look at your fine skin and tender meat, it is estimated that you have not suffered any hardship, why bother to come to the Royal Forest Army to suffer, our Royal Forest Army should not be lazy and covetous." Commander Xiao was a little disdainful, these sons and brothers, they have no knowledge and no ability, and now for the sake of fame and future, they actually ask him to come here to go through the motions, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to endure just training. Come on, just don't beg him then, he won't be soft-hearted if he begs him, the Imperial Forest Army is not cowardly, otherwise how to protect the palace?

"Commander Xiao, rest assured, I'm not afraid of hardship, I will definitely do a good job! Trust me. Xue Pingping said with an oath.

"Okay, then you can practice with the sergeants first!"

"Yes!" Xue Pingping replied neatly, with a straight posture, and walked towards the training ground with his head held high.

reported his name to Captain Qin, who was in charge of training, and Captain Qin threw a spear to him and asked him to practice with everyone.

"Ho", roar, take a step, stab a shot, turn around, and repeat the above actions. Soon, Xue Pingping followed the movements of those sergeants, and his moves were also very standardized. Captain Qin looked at him and nodded with satisfaction, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Who knew that he had been practicing the same move all morning, the freshness at the beginning had passed, and the sense of pride was gone, Xue Pingping couldn't help but feel a little boring, and what was even worse was that his arm was sore, every time he stabbed and raised, his arm was like a thousand pounds of boulder falling. He looked at Captain Qin, he didn't mean to stop at all, and when he slacked off a little, Captain Qin's eyes shot at him with a pair of tiger eyes, he was sure that if he dared to be lazy, he would be thrown out immediately.
