In the end, Shi Qingqian pestered He Yan and asked all the way, but he still couldn't hold back to the Hou Mansion.

Dongwu is a neighbor to the north of Yu, a year ago when Shen Shu was in the northern desert camp, the two sides fought, and the army of Dongwu was killed by Shen Shu and left no armor. After a year of negotiation and bargaining, King Togo finally decided to cede five castles and send Tuoba Ryobi as a proton.

It is not uncommon for the two countries to be at war and send protons to each other. He Yan returned to Beijing this time in order to send the protons of Dongwu Kingdom into the capital to each other.

It's just that Tuoba Liangbi is only eight years old this year, and he has to go to such a distant and strange place alone.

Fortunately, Yuguo has always treated protons very well. Not only can you live in a high-class inn, but you can also have enough freedom, and most importantly, Yu Guo respects proton enough.

The only thing is that the proton must be accompanied by the guards of Yu Kingdom when traveling, and other behaviors will not be controlled too much.

After talking about Tuoba Liangbi, the carriage had already arrived at the Hou Mansion.

Shi An said goodbye directly and went back to the second room.

When the remaining two people entered the house side by side, the eldest lady who was making tea was startled, and the kettle in her hand almost fell, "Ah Yan? Why did you come back with Ran'er? ”

"I ran into them on the way, and the snow was too heavy, so I brought them back." He Yan stepped forward and snatched the pot of boiling water in the eldest lady's hand, "Sister, you too, just ask your subordinates to do these things, this water is so hot, what should I do if it burns you?" ”

The eldest lady smiled, "You don't know, who can brew that flavor of this flower dew tea except me?" ”

When He Yan heard it, it turned out to be the flower dew tea that he had grown up with since he was a child, so he hurriedly returned the teapot to the eldest lady, "It turned out to be the flower dew, then it's still Sister You can come in person, I have to drink until I am full today!" ”

The eldest lady's original name was He Ran, and she was the eldest lady in the He Mansion, but He Yan was the youngest son in the He Mansion.

Although in terms of seniority, Shi Qingqian has to call He Yan an uncle, but he is only nineteen years old this year, and it is more than enough to call him brother. That's why Shi Qingqian didn't want to call him 'little uncle', but kept calling him 'General He'.

It is precisely because He Yan's age is very different from that of the eldest lady, so He Yan was raised by the eldest lady since he was a child, like a sister and a mother, and the relationship between the two is extremely deep.

"Ah Yan, how long are you going to stay when you come back this time?" The eldest lady pulled He Yan to sit down beside her, and Shi Qingqian also obediently leaned over.

He Yan is worthy of being a general, and his sitting posture is different from his father. When he sits, his waist is straight, his legs are spread, and he is heroic, this posture is a bit like Shen Shu.

Do people who know martial arts sit like this? Shi Qingqian thought about it, picked up the teacup in front of her, and took a sip of it, but found that it was hot water, and she quickly sucked her tongue twice.

He Yan happened to see Shi Qingqian's stupid appearance, and smiled dotingly, but he didn't poke her, "I won't stay long, I came back this time to escort Dongwu Proton, and it will be repaired for five days at most, after all, there can't be no one to guard the border gate." ”

"I'm really sorry for you." The eldest lady reached out in distress to tidy up the messy hair on the side of He Yan's ear.

"Protecting the safety of one party, no matter how bitter it is, it is sweet in my heart." He Yan said with a smile, this was sincere, without any politeness.

The eldest lady also smiled, she was a loving sister, but she would never drown her younger brother, He Yan was so energetic and had something to do, which was what she wanted to see the most.

I still remember that when He Yan was a child, he was lazy and unwilling to practice, and he was interrupted by the eldest lady seven or eight rattan sticks alone. Thinking about it now, if she hadn't been strictly disciplined at the beginning, I'm afraid that now it would not be He Xiaojun He Yan, but He Da Waste.

"I know that you don't want to be a person who sits and eats empty mountains," the eldest lady nodded on He Yan's forehead with her finger, "Stay for dinner today, Master Hou knows that you are back, and specially asked people to prepare West Lake vinegar fish!" ”

"Brother-in-law still remembers that I love jealous fish!" He Yan smiled, his eyes full of anticipation.

Shi Qingqian didn't know why, but seeing them like this, his heart was also warm.

The general who wants to dominate the world, drinks blood and bathes the wind on the battlefield, but he is not a child who loves fish. It's just that the northern desert is dry, and even a stream is very rare, and it seems that even if his little uncle loves fish, he can't eat it on weekdays.

She thought of Shen Shu again, and wanted to know what he looked like on the battlefield, because she couldn't imagine how a person who likes to pretend to be serious could kill people with a sword.

That night, in order to wash the dust for He Yan, Shi Yuan deliberately opened the cellar of the Hou Mansion and took out a good daughter red from the altar. Even Shi Ke went home early.

There were only five people in the big room at the dinner, and the eldest lady felt that He Yan was not very familiar with the people in the second and third rooms, so why bother to ask them to come too. Shi Ke and Shi Qingqian were both watched by He Yan since childhood, especially Shi Ke, He Yan also taught Shi Ke martial arts for a period of time before he set out on the expedition, so they are really close and will not be embarrassed.

Shi Ke looked at the vinegar fish from West Lake that was served, and knew that He Yan's favorite food was the fish head, so he gouged out the fish eye and gave it to Shi Qingqian, and then sandwiched the fish head into He Yan's bowl.

"Uncle, you eat fish heads."

Shi Ke's brother-in-law called Shunyo, mainly because he was beaten by He Yan when he was a child, so he was convinced.

The eldest lady and Shi Yuan looked at each other and smiled, and He Yan also laughed, "Okay, in the end, my uncle is not as close as my sister, and the fish eyes are dug up to my sister first, and then I will serve vegetables to my uncle." ”

Shi Qingqian was just about to stuff the fisheye into his mouth, when he heard He Yan say this, he quickly stopped his chopsticks again, "Then, this He Xiao General eats?" ”

"Eat, eat, he's kidding you." The eldest lady couldn't laugh and personally fed the fish eyes to Shi Qingqian.

"Speaking of which, Ah Yan, you will be nineteen years old, and you will be twenty after the New Year." Shi Yuan took a sip of the daughter red in the cup, which was mellow and sweet, so that he couldn't help but taste it.

He Yan turned the wine glass in his hand, as if he had a premonition that he was facing the fate of being 'urged to marry'.

Shi Yuan continued: "Ah Yan finally came back, and my brother-in-law found a good woman for you, if you have an idea, you can go and meet it." ”

"Brother-in-law...... I, who have been fighting abroad all the year round, what girl would marry someone like me? He Yan smiled bitterly, "Besides, I'm not in a hurry for these things." ”

The eldest lady was very dissatisfied with He Yan's attitude, and her face changed a little, "You child, you are so old, you are not in a hurry to find a daughter-in-law, what's the matter, you still plan not to marry for life?" ”

"Sister," He Yan exclaimed with a wry smile, "I'm really not in a hurry, let's talk about meeting or something...... It's always embarrassing. ”

"Then forget it, since Ah Yan doesn't want to go, your sister and I can't tie you up." Shi Yuan waved his hand, the man's ambition was in all directions, and this was also a situation he had already considered.

"No way!" The eldest lady said sharply, "Don't think that you will be free when you go to the border gate, you must go and meet the eldest lady of the Nazuo family in the next few days." ”

"Poof—"

Hearing this, Shi Qingqian suddenly squirted out a mouthful of fruit tea.

"Mother, Miss Zuo, Miss Zuo?"
