In the past, when I was in the capital, the New Year was like a war, worshipping ancestors, coming and going, and sometimes the three members of the Wen family would be invited to attend the state banquet.

Shui Banxia threw the basket on the table and said indignantly: "Wei Rong, this person, is really unparalleled in the world......" She held back for a long time before she held back two words, "Wood!" ”

"What's wrong?"

Shui Banxia took out the lantern she bought, it was originally a lantern in the shape of a goldfish, and it was very delicate, but it poked a hole in the back of the fish, "He said, it would be bad if there were hidden weapons, poisons, and gunpowder inside." ”

"Vice General Wei's responsibilities are also something that can't be helped."

"I understand, but isn't it enough for him to poke all our meat dishes to pieces? Why do you want to go for such a cute lantern? Don't think about this year. ”

Wen Ying smiled, she took out a few pieces of rice paper from the cabinet, and said, "Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and I will let the maids go home, so if you want us to have a little taste of the year here, let's do it quickly." ”

"Wei Rong should make up these lanterns!" Shui Banxia sat at the table and picked up the needle and thread.

Wen Ying is in the filial piety period, and it is not good to be too extravagant, they originally wanted to hang a few plain-colored lanterns, just as it was the New Year, but they didn't expect these lanterns to survive Wei Rong's level.

"Tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, should you add some meat?" I see there's still a fish in the kitchen, and it looks good. ”

Shui Banxia said with a smile: "Although it is filial piety, but you are too weak, eating some chicken, duck and fish can also help you nourish your body, but this fish soup, do you want to make it and eat it yourself?" Or is it for someone else? ”

"It's just the two of us, who else can there be?"

Shui Banxia turned out a plate of paste and put it on the table, "That day, Cang Xuelan came to rub dinner, you cooked by yourself and made a lot of snacks in the capital, now think about it, the meat and dishes on the whole table, you didn't move a single chopstick, these good things almost all went into Cang Xuelan's stomach." ”

Wen Ying raised her eyes to look at her, "Are you angry?" ”

Shui Banxia sighed: "Even if it's qi, it's because you don't care about your body." ”

Wen Ying lowered her head, "You must think I'm shameless." ”

Shui Banxia shook his head and said: "According to the number of etiquette, I am just a side room, which side room have you seen, can you stop the master from marrying a wife?" Miss Kewen, if he really took you to heart, how could he have withdrawn your birthday sticker so simply in the first place? ”

Wen Ying put down the scissors in her hand, "When I was a child, my body was very weak, and I almost couldn't leave the medicine, and whenever the season changed, I would get sick. I still remember one time, I had a high fever for a few days, and my family thought that I couldn't hold it anymore, and Xue Yao would come to accompany me when he was free, but he never came once. Then I got better, and I found myself under my pillow, and I put a wooden stick, do you know what it is? ”

"What?"

Speaking of the past, Wen Ying also had some nostalgia, "He, what fortune teller said, my serious illness this time is because the evil has entered the body, as long as the evil peach wood is placed under the pillow, the illness can be cured, and ah, ordinary peach wood is not good, you have to have a dead peach tree in an old broken temple outside the capital, and the peach branch is not finished, but also hold the branch around the broken temple three steps, one kneeling, nine steps and one buckle, turn on the ninety-nine eighty-one circle, so that I can beg for divine power, and then within three hours, put this peach tree branch under my pillow." ”

Shui Banxia heard about this for the first time, so he was a little more curious, "So, our young general believes this nonsense?" ”

"At first, he didn't believe it, but then he heard that my mother had quietly started to prepare for the future, so he thought, just give it a try, just in case." Wen Ying said with a smile: "The things I just said, it doesn't sound difficult, but it's really not easy to do, and as long as one step goes wrong, everything has to be repeated, he tossed back and forth for three or four days, and then in order to be able to send this piece of wood back on time, he quickly whipped his horse and kept hurrying, and accidentally fell off the horse and broke his leg." Later, when I was cured, he was still on crutches. ”

Chatting here, Wen Ying seemed to have opened the chatterbox, and talked to Shui Banxia about interesting things when she was a child.

Pick flowers and climb trees, fly kites and enjoy the snow.

They lit the house when they roasted chicken thighs together, smashed Lord Wen's favorite vase together, went to the street to have fun together without telling their families, and stole wine around the fire together in the winter.

Later, Cang Xuelan was older, and in order to avoid suspicion, he could no longer go to the inner courtyard, nor could he fight with Wen Ying unscrupulously like when he was a child.

But even so, he would still flip over the wall adjacent to the Wen family and the Cang family from time to time and put a bouquet of flowers on it.

When he went to Cang Xingjun to be a recruit, he would always send her some gadgets that were not available in the capital, and even his sister Cang Xueyao did not have such treatment.

These little things, bit by bit, are vivid, and then one day, he suddenly changed his mind, how could Wen Ying easily let go?

Now, Wen Ying's parents died tragically, and Cang Xuelan was her last straw, and she desperately wanted to grasp this straw.

In the final analysis, the bell must be tied to the bell, and if Wen Ying wants to die, he has to ask Cang Xueyao to do it on his brother's behalf.

"Well, since you have made up your mind, I won't advise you. It's just that you have to promise me one thing. ”

"Please."

"If in the end, the result is not satisfactory, you must also live happily and don't waste your life on him."

Wen Ying looked at her, "Why aren't you angry?" ”

"Why should I be angry?"

"If you have him in your heart, at this time, you should be furious, I am ready for you to scold me as a vixen."

Shui Banxia sneered, "In your heart, I'm so spicy?" ”

Wen Ying was also amused by her, the two of them sat at the table and began to paste the lanterns, and after doing it for a while, Shui Banxia said deflatedly: "Good goldfish lanterns have been made into flower fish." Don't make it up, don't make it up. ”

"And what are we going to hang tonight?"

Shui Banxia's eyes rolled, and she put the paper, lanterns, paste and brushes in the basket, she carried the basket, went out of the room, and walked towards Wei Rong, "Vice General Wei, I see that you are quite idle today, why don't you do the little girl a favor?" ”

At noon, when Wang Han arrived, Wei Rong was sitting on the steps in front of the courtyard, clumsily wrapping the lantern in paper.

Wang Han looked at it for a while and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"It's not Mrs. Water yet, she said that I cut the lantern, and I have to mend it for her, where will I mend the lantern?" Wei Rong threw the lantern to the ground and sighed.

"I will!" Wang Han raised his hand positively, he jumped off the horse and flatteringly approached Wei Rong's side, "Brother Wei, I will, I'll help you mend the lantern, you go to guard His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, let's change shifts, how about it?" ”

Wei Rong frowned, "Tell me honestly, what did you do?" ”

Wang Han hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't say a word.

Wei Rong slowly turned his head and looked to the side, Wang Han was riding a horse when he came, followed by a carriage and a team of guards, and on the carriage was the chamberlain next to the Nine Emperor Princes, who was crying and mourning, and the hand pulling the reins was shaking like chaff.

Wei Rong hurriedly stood up, jumped into the carriage, and opened the curtain, inside, the Nine Emperor Princes were tied up with five flowers, blindfolded and gagged, still struggling, looking extremely miserable.

"Are you kidnapping?"

Wang Han spread his hands, looking like he had heard everything so far.

Wei Rong sighed in resignation, hurriedly removed the black cloth, and took out a lump of steps stuffed in the mouth of the Nine Emperor Princes.

The Nine Emperor Princes looked at him with tears in their eyes and asked, "Just now...... That piece of cloth...... Why is it salty......"

This cloth looks familiar, like the sweat cloth that Wang Han carried with him, and there are yellowish sweat stains on it, Wei Rong considered the words and said, "This is ...... Handkerchief. ”

The Nine Emperor Princes pursed their lips and cried, "You rebellious ministers and thieves dare to treat me like this!" When I return to Beijing, I will definitely report it to my father, and you will wait for you to be demoted and imprisoned. ”

Wang Han sneered, walked up, looked at the piece of cloth in Wei Rong's hand, and said, "Give me back that thing." ”

Wei Rong said disgustedly: "Throw it away." ”

"What are you throwing, this cloth has followed me for many years, sleeping in the open air, I have used it to wipe my hands, I have wiped my sweat, sometimes I am in a hurry, and I will use him to wipe some other places. I'm a brother with it, so how can I abandon it because of this little thing. ”

The Nine Emperors' face became paler and paler, and he squirmed and stretched his head out of the window, and with a whoosh, he vomited all the food he had eaten in the past few days.

In the afternoon, Cang Xuelan came back from the yamen of the state capital, and as soon as he stepped into the tavern, he was taken to the guest room next to him, he looked at the Nine Emperor Princes who were tied to the bed, whimpering and shedding tears, and had a great headache, "What's the situation?" ”

Wang Han said: "I had a little unpleasant trouble with the Nine Emperor Princes, it turned out that their royal people scolded the streets, compared to the shrews in the market, it is more than that, I think this is too ugly, not conducive to the glorious image of the Nine Emperor Princes, so I am willing to risk the crime of disrespect......"

"Shut up!" Cang Xuelan glared at him, and asked Wei Rong again: "You saw it, why didn't you stop it?" Let's loosen the tie. ”

Wei Rong said coldly: "I was going to loosen it, but it was half loosened, and then the Nine Emperor Princes said two words, and I felt that Wang Han was reasonable, so I tied back the half-loosened one." ”

Cang Xuelan looked at Qingtian speechlessly, "You two have a good talk for me!" ”

Wang Han said: "His Royal Highness is too stubborn, he wants to return to Beijing for a while, he wants to go out of the city for a while, he wants to eat this for a while, and he wants to drink that for a while. ”

"That's it? That's not going to be so ruthless. ”

Wang Han stood solemnly, he held the hilt of his sword, and said, "No one can slander the old general in front of me, especially this kind of royal highness who is not diligent in all parts of the body." The generals died on the battlefield, in exchange for this group of mediocre rich and noble lives, I don't ask them to be respectful to the old generals, but anyway, they also need to know what to say and what not to say. ”

After speaking, Wang Han brushed his sleeves and left.

Cang Xuelan looked at Wei Rong and asked, "What did he say?" ”

Wei Rong said in a low voice: "He said that the old general is...... Lao Yi. ”

In that year, Cang Qingfeng died on the battlefield, and his body was taken away by Dahao's army, in order to humiliate the enemy general, they stripped him naked, hung him on the chariot, and carved a word on his chest with a knife.

It was not enough to do this, General Dahao even shouted and scolded in front of the battle, calling Cang Qingfeng Lao Yu.

Now that these two words have come out of his own mouth, it's no wonder that even Wei Rong can't help but do it.

Cang Xuelan sighed and said, "That's it, it's my fault, I shouldn't have let Wang Han look at him." ”

"General......

Even if the Nine Emperors were the first to hurt people, but after all, he was the prince, if this matter was to be investigated, Wang Han and Wei Rong would probably not be able to get out of the way.

"You go down first," Cang Xuelan moved her shoulders, "I'll have a good chat with His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes." ”
