Kou Ko and Xu Yongzhi came to the dining room, and everyone had been waiting for a long time.

Tian Dabang was babbling to Huo Xiang about what he had just discovered, and when he saw the two of them coming out, he immediately kept silent.

"Eat, eat." Everyone sat down at the table.

"Is the dragon thing settled?" Tian Dabang asked.

"Okay, Kou is right, this dragon is going to grow up to be able to push a battleship, how can it have ten years, then I will come to ask my cousin in ten years to borrow a battleship."

"Actually, it won't take ten years, you see that you are not young anymore, you were all big girls at the age of seventeen or eighteen in ancient times." Tian Dabang said.

Xu Yongzhi faintly felt that something was wrong.

"Today's children have a lot of early love in the 14th Five-Year Plan."

Duan Zishou buried his head in eating Zhengxiang, and Ah Crisp glanced at Tian Dabang.

"Oh, look at me, I didn't mean that, eat and eat, nephew, you eat this, everyone tastes our Jiangtuan in Yuzhou, it's delicious." Tian Dabang hurriedly diverted the topic.

"There are a lot of things for the children, it is best for them to make their own decisions, Xianggong, we, the elders, just give them some support behind the scenes." Huo Xiang hurriedly took over the conversation and didn't let Tian Dabang continue.

"Yes, I especially agree that children can decide what books they read, what spells they learn, what friends they make, what pets they have, and which portraits of celebrities they hang in the house, right?" Tian Dabang said with a smile.

"That's right, my uncle is really an enlightened parent." Xu Yongzhi flattered.

"But when marriage is a major event, you must listen to your parents, otherwise, you will inevitably step into the pit." Tian Dabang pulled the topic back again.

"Dad......" Kou Ko emphasized with a complaint.

"Dad, you eat this." Huo Xiang hurriedly put a large piece of buckle meat into Tian Dabang's bowl.

"Hey, I just like to eat meat, I made this meat, I dried the plum vegetables myself, cut them into a flower knife, and steamed them with rock sugar." Tian Dabang took over the topic.

"Brother-in-law, hurry up and eat, otherwise you will let Ah Shou eat it all." Ah Crisp quickly changed the topic to eating meat.

"What do you like to eat?" Tian Dabang asked.

"Meat, sweet, bamboo, mushrooms, rice and noodles can all be ......," Ah Crisp asked.

"That's good, a silly boy can afford it." Tian Dabang looked at Duan Zishou, who was eating heavily.

"I can't eat a lot." Crisp said.

"Marrying a daughter-in-law, the key is to marry a life, and it is not possible to delicacies from the mountains and seas every day." Tian Dabang pulled the topic back again, "This child is not a picky eater, she can also cook, and she will be a good wife in the future." ”

"Dad......" Coco grumbled again.

"Don't say it, don't say it." Tian Dabang said, "Virtuous nephew, why don't we have a drink." With that, he got up and went to get his wine.

"Uncle, you're welcome, I don't usually drink." Xu Yongzhi hurriedly said politely.

"But you drank all the way." Duan Zishou said suddenly.

"And it's all stuffy." Crisp said.

"Why do you want to drink stuffy wine?" Tian Dabang poured the wine and clinked glasses with Xu Yongzhi, Xu Yongzhi quickly stood up, touched the lower edge of the glass lowly, and then drank it all.

"First, I was sad about the tragedy at home, and secondly, I heard from an uncle that I had no talent for witchcraft, and I felt that it was difficult to take revenge, so I drank on the boat." Xu Yongzhi hurriedly explained.

"No, no one is in love with him, so he drinks by himself." Duan Zishou made another stab.

"By the way, I was about to ask you about this, nephew, are you engaged?" Tian Dabang poured Xu Yongzhi another glass.

"No, but ......"

"Great!" Tian Dabang patted his thigh and applauded.

"Someone else is a single dog, and you still say it's great, brother-in-law, what kind of logic are you?" Crisp said.

"I didn't mean that, I meant that, my logic is more jumpy, hahaha, let's try the pepper chicken I made......" Tian Dabang was overjoyed.

"I already have a sweetheart." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Sweetheart, male or female?" Tian Dabang asked.

"Dad, you're so annoying!" Coco really couldn't take it anymore.

"Don't tell jokes, Yongzhi's sweetheart must be a very good girl." Huo Xiang was also depressed, why has this old man become more and more unreliable in recent years.

But looking at Ah Crisp again, his face was full of embarrassment, and he lowered his head to pick up rice.

Only Duan Zishou laughed: "My brother-in-law's sweetheart used to be a man and a woman, the male is the little noble brother, and the female is my sister." Now there are two women, and the little noble brother is a girl. ”

"Did I drink too much?" Tian Dabang asked Huo Xiang.

"Uncle, aunt," Xu Yongzhi said, "my sweetheart is my junior sister, who has lived in my house for three years, and although I have no appointment with her, we have made a promise to each other." She had a rough background, and she was a boy when she was a child. ”

"I won't ask the specifics, it's definitely not scientific, I'll just ask, can this girl give you a son?" Tian Dabang asked.

"Xianggong ......" Huo Xiang hurriedly pulled it.

"I'm afraid not."

"Since ancient times, my father and uncle have grown up, my mother has grown up with my uncle, your parents have just one son of yours, Xiaoduo is a girl, and sooner or later she will marry someone else's family, if you don't have a son, your old Yu family or old Xu family, won't it be broken?"

"Yes."

"That's not good, you still have to have children, men have wives and concubines, it's not new in this era, right." Tian Dabang said.

"Uncle, my junior sister and I are the ones who trust her life, and I won't let her be a concubine." Xu Yongzhi said it very tactfully, because of Tian Dabang's family personality and the identity of Koukou's cousin, he would definitely not open his mouth to be a concubine.

"You don't need someone to be a concubine, do you know the big two? It is also called Kanji. ”

"I've heard of it."

"In the past, someone did not have a son, but his brother had a son, so they used a son to marry two daughters-in-law for this child, and both daughters-in-law were full wives, gave birth to two children, and inherited the incense of the two families, which is called contemporary."

"That's a good idea!" Duan Zishou shouted.

Ah Crisp twisted her leg, "You dare!" ”

"I mean, my sister and the little noble sister can both marry the eldest brother-in-law." Duan Zishou said.

"Fool, I still don't understand, my brother-in-law wants Sister Coco to marry her eldest brother-in-law!"

"Ahh

"Look, virtuous nephew, Coco married you and gave birth to two sons, one inherited the Xu family or the Yu family, whatever you want......"

"Xu Family ......"

"The other one inherits the Tian family, counting it as my grandson, so that both families have a queen, isn't it very reasonable?"

"I heard that Cousin Kou Ko has ordered Chen Model Chen Gongzi's personal ......"

"To hell with the waste son of the Chen family! It's just a preliminary intention. ”

Huo Xiang stopped Tian Dabang: "Xianggong, it's too rude." ”

"I usually listen to you in everything, you can punish me and beat me, but the child's marriage is a big deal, listen to me, isn't this the rule all along?" Tian Dabang glared at Huo Xiang.

"Uncle," Xu Yongzhi said, "I want to ask you to promise me one thing. ”

"Say it."

"Don't force your cousin to marry Chen Model, she doesn't like this family business."

"Of course, if you agree to the family affair, you can rest assured to take revenge, your daughter-in-law has an old man to support you, and you must not marry someone else."

"But I'm not going to marry my cousin either."

"What ......" Tian Dabang was stunned, he no longer expected this kind of sincere retention, and a woman like Koko, who is both talented and good-looking, Xu Yongzhi would say so simply that he was unwilling.

"Because I don't want to, and neither does Coco. Kou Ko is older, has her own view of the world, she knows what kind of life she likes, every time she says she doesn't want to, uncle, you may feel that this is a child who is shy and refuses to grow up, which is not right. ”

"Unwilling, just unwilling, not shy, not embarrassed, she weighed the pros and cons and knew she was unwilling."

"Unwilling, is unwilling, not looking down on, not looking down on, but listening to the heart and insisting on their unwillingness."

"Kou Ko is a good child, afraid that her parents will be sad, so in many things, she desperately resists, but she is unwilling to say so decisively and ruthlessly. But uncle, you should take this reluctance seriously and satisfy all wishes, that is spoiling. Respecting a reluctant father may be the best father. ”

"My nephew has said a lot, and when I came to my uncle's house today and saw my uncle and aunt, I felt the warmth and love of the lost family, but I can't stay here for a long time."

Xu Yongzhi knelt down and gave a big gift to his uncle and aunt.

"I'm also worried that if we delay here for too long, there will be chasing soldiers coming, which will affect the safety of my uncle's family, so I think we will leave and take a boat back to Ezhou."

"Brother-in-law, I support it, there is still my sister in Ezhou." Duan Zishou said.

"Virtuous nephew, stay and get married, I will respect your opinion, and you will enjoy a happy life here. I'm here, they can't find it, it's safe. ”

"Uncle, the enemy is getting stronger day by day, I should use it for revenge every day, just now Kou Kou also told me that I have no talent for witchcraft, I think I should go to Longhu Mountain to find my master Zhang Daochang to think of a way."

"Hey, hey, what do you say, stay a few more days, I'm too anxious, I should let you get acquainted with each other more." Tian Dabang was a little sad as if he had done something wrong.

"It's not a familiar thing, it's about the rules of life."

"Good boy." Huo Xiang praised.

"My aunt praised me falsely, I am a man with sins, when I was spurned by the world, my uncle did not abandon me, and was willing to let me stay, this is the warmth of my relatives. I'm a heartbroken person who will delay my cousin's life. ”

"My junior sister Xiaogui is not abandoning me, I have been worrying about her these days, missing her, I don't know if she is safe in the court of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Yuzhou is too far away from Jinling, I can't protect her and support her, she may be dealing with danger alone in the palace."

Xu Yongzhi gave another salute and got up to say goodbye.

Duan Zishou hadn't eaten yet, and he was also pulled up by Ah Crisp to say goodbye together.

Tian Dabang wiped his tears and sent the three of them out together.

"Remember to come back and borrow the dragon, I will build the ship and wait for you!" Tian Dabang was reluctant.

The three of them walked to the house where they couldn't see the Tian family, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"I didn't eat enough."

Duan Zishou complained.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Xu Yongyi's face was serious: "Ah Shou, don't complain, I'll take you to eat noodles at the bottom of the mountain." ”

"Don't please," a girl's voice in the tree said, "I'll please." ”

The two long legs are particularly eye-catching, and they are none other than Coco.

Coco jumped down from the tree and looked at Xu Yongzhi.

"I heard that cousin, you are very smart and very good at talking, but I didn't expect it to be commonplace, my father's tricks, you actually took it simply and rudely, and said so." Coco said.

"I'm too old to waste my life. Koko, you're a nice girl, but I do have someone I like. Instead of making all kinds of excuses, using all kinds of strategies, and meandering, it is better to make your inner feelings clear and hope that you can understand. ”

"I can understand that every time I say no, unhappy, my dad will get angry, sick, and make me compromise, I am very painful, but I am afraid that he will worry." Coco said.

"Actually, you can tell him that if you push me again, I will collapse, I will die, and he will gradually understand. An old man like my uncle always feels that all your refusals are polite, shy, and embarrassed, and you have to say it yourself if you are unwilling, unhappy, hateful, and annoyed, so that he will understand. Xu Yongzhi told Koukou.

"Thank you, cousin, I'll try."

"Thank you for what your family else said."

"My family should also say thank you."

When they arrived at the wharf, the boat had not yet boarded the passengers, Xu Yongzhi hurriedly paid the boat money, and asked the boatman to go east to Hongzhou, ready to go to Longhu Mountain.

"Cousin, don't leave it at that."

Coco was a little sad.

This cousin is not very old.

This cousin is like an old man.

His person was wrapped in something heavy, but his heart was still a teenager.

The boat had been traveling for half an hour, and suddenly saw the water behind it separate, and two fast waves of water caught up from behind.

Two finless porpoises caught up from behind with Koukou, and she jumped lightly on the board.

"Cousin, I thought of something, I'm going to find you a helper."

At this time, the boat happened to pass by a dense wood, in which all kinds of birds flew.

Coco whistled, and several birds of different colors landed on the board.

"The six of them are all parrots, smart birds from the Western Regions, and the parrots in Middle-earth are not so big. After raising dragons at home, I put them in this forest so that they would not be afraid. ”

"It's beautiful." Ah Crisp looked at the red, blue, gray, green, yellow, and white parrots.

"Cousin, pick one."

Xu Yongzhi actually didn't have the heart to raise birds, but when he thought that his cousin specially caught up with him to send his parrot, he should have a deep meaning.

"Pick the red! The most beautiful! Duan Zishou tried his best.

Crispy looks quite satisfied with his statement that "red is the prettiest".

"The gray one." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Cousin, you have eyesight, this gray parrot is the most talkative, the smartest, and the red macaw is beautiful, but it is naughty and active, and it is easy to be spoiled." Coco said.

"I think it's easier to disguise gray if you're moving with a parrot." Xu Yongzhi said.

"That's going even further," said Coco, "and I'll tell you how to use this parrot now." ”

"A lot of wizards keep birds, and birds can expand the wizard's vision and practice their eyesight."

"The common practice of wizards is to possess, that is, to release the bird, possess the bird, and see the world with the eyes of the bird, because the wizard at this time will be particularly vulnerable, so they generally choose powerful birds, such as goshawks, sea eagles, and forest eagles, so we also call this most basic possession the eagle eye technique."

"But some people have no talent (good heart) and can't even learn eagle eye skills, so parrots are needed at this time."

"Brother Parrot is smart, when you teach it the concepts of people, cars, boats, and beasts, you can put it in the sky, let it observe, and ask it directly when you come back."

Kou gave the other parrots to Snacks and dismissed them, and then set up the gray parrots, "Let's go!" ”

The parrot soared into the sky and circled over the ship.

"How many ships?"

"Three." The parrot replied.

After a while, the boat drove to the front, and sure enough, there were three fishing boats.

"God!" Ah Crisp and Duan Zishou are both happy.

"Brother, you can name him, this is a boy, you can use his name in the future, you can come and give him orders."

Xu Yongzhi immediately understood Kou Kokou's thoughts.

If you let the parrot out, you can see whether Xiaogui in the Southern Tang court is safe, and you can even send a letter to Xiaogui. It couldn't be better.

"Thank you sister, what a good helper."

"He loves to eat melon seeds, other nuts, fruits, and grains."

"How old is he?" Crisp asked.

"At the age of two, parrots live a long time, and can live to be fifty or sixty years old." Coco said.

Xu Yongzhi thought about Brother Parrot's name.

Now finally a bird is chatting with me, and I don't have to listen to the chatter and nonsense of the two people.

"I've figured it out, a chirping grey parrot, we'll call him chirp ash."

"It's so strange, I always feel that this name seems to have a bit of the style of the Southern Han Dynasty and Guangzhou, but I don't know how to think of it."

"Chirp ashes," said Coco, "my cousin has given you a name, and you will be a good assistant to him, and I hope you will be friends for life." ”

"Okay!" Chirp Ash responded.

"It's out of sight." Duan Zishou looked very fascinated, "Isn't it true that parrots should wear a black eye patch?" ”

"Then you'll be a pirate, absolutely not." Crisp said.

"Let's go." Coco whistled, and the porpoise came to pick her up.

"Cousin, let me give me a hug."

Xu Yongzhi gave Kou a tight hug.

"Thank you, Coco."

"You will be able to get revenge, you are the kind of person who can do anything, you are the kind of person who has left a deep mark on history."

"Is this a prophecy? Or is it a blessing? Xu Yongzhi asked her.

"Blessings." Coco looked at his face.

"Your life is in your own hands, and you don't need to believe in any fate."

Coco jumped lightly on the back of the finless porpoise, and the two finless porpoises happily went up the current and headed straight for Yuzhou.

Xu Yongzhi looked at her back and looked at the parrot on her shoulder.

"Okay, let's not believe in such a thing, don't worry about fighting, let's do it hard!"

"Okay!" Chirp Ash agreed.
