Chapter 35: Killing the Fish

When the two arrived at the kitchen, the cook was killing the fish, and because the fish was large, the cook looked more struggling.

Anhua Jin rolled up his arms and rolled up his sleeves, "I'll come." ”

An older lady let out an "oops" and immediately said, "Little county lord, how can this be done?" ”

"So, I'm not someone who just waits for something to eat and can't do anything." An Huajin took the fish knife and ordered, "Go and prepare the materials, these three fish are handed over to me." ”

The cooks glanced at each other, and then looked at Gu Qingyan, who was following up in the kitchen, and felt that the little county lord not only brought Gu Qigongzi to the kitchen, but also paid so little attention to his image in front of him, wouldn't it be good?

Gu Qingyan smiled lightly and said softly, "Listen to the little county lord, you are busy with other things, I will help the little county lord." ”

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, Gu Qigongzi was willing to help, which showed that they did not dislike the behavior of the little county lord. Immediately laughed in unison and went to do something else.

An Huajin held down the fish with one hand and held the knife in the other, the head and tail of the fish kept fluttering, but she couldn't pounce out of her palm, she raised the knife in her hand, and without waiting for Gu Qingyan to come forward to help, she disemboweled the fish.

Gu Qingyan was the first time he saw people killing fish since he was a child, and he had never done such a thing when he had always reached out for food, especially as the saying goes, "a gentleman is far away from cooking", and in the upbringing of the Gu family, he is naturally far away from the kitchen.

He looked at An Huajin with fresh admiration and neatly raised the knife in his hand, a fat big fish was originally fluttering and jubilant, but in a blink of an eye, it was no longer noisy in its hands, and he did not hesitate to praise, "It's amazing." ”

An Huajin glanced at him, his admiration was undisguised, she laughed, "Gu Qingyan, just killing a fish, what is so powerful?" ”

"It's just amazing." Gu Qingyan couldn't help nodding.

An Huajin suddenly felt that he was very likable, if it weren't for the fact that she had known the other side of him three years ago, she would not have doubted that this kind of Gu Qingyan was his true appearance and temperament, she turned her head and asked with a smile, "You have never seen someone kill a fish?" ”

"Hmm."

An Huajin laughed, "Killing fish is nothing, all cooks in the world can do it." ”

"But you're not a cook, so I think it's amazing." Gu Qingyan squatted down, watched her talk to him while watching her, and scraped the scales of the fish neatly in a general manner, "In addition to killing fish, will you also kill cattle and sheep?" ”

"Yes!" An Huajin nodded.

Gu Qingyan admired her even more, looking at her slender figure and slender wrists, and said sincerely, "Even if you are not the little county lord of Nanyang Palace, with your hands, you must not be hungry and can support yourself." ”

An Huajin smiled and asked him, "Gu Qingyan, have you ever traveled?" ”

Gu Qingyan shook his head, "No." ”

"The children of the family, when they are old, they will be released to travel outside to see the world, you Gu family, are you not allowed to go out at home?" An Huajin raised an eyebrow.

"Not really. The third brother and the ninth brother have both traveled. However, I have a special identity, not only my grandfather is not allowed to do it, but Your Majesty will not let it go. Gu Qingyan said in a low voice.

An Huajin looked at him suddenly and with pity, "Trapped in the shackles of identity, everyone in the world praises and envies Gu Qigongzi, why do you feel a little pitiful when you hear you like this." ”

Gu Qingyan smiled, "It's a little pitiful, I've always wanted to go to Nanyang to have a look, but I can't." ”

Anhua Jin's eyes turned, "What do you want to see in Nanyang?" Don't tell me you want to see what your fiancΓ©e looks like? ”

Gu Qingyan coughed lightly, and wanted to say that she wanted to see with her own eyes how his fiancΓ©e in the old Nanyang Wang's pen was doing every day, but when the words came to her mouth, she thought that the old Nanyang King was communicating with him, but she didn't know. changed his words, "I just want to see if Nanyang is as bad and desolate as people say." ”

"Not really." An Huajin shook his head and said disdainfully, "Most people in the world are blind, and they don't see it with their own eyes, so they talk nonsense from mouth to mouth." The environment is harsh and the people are desolate Nanyang, which was decades ago, and today's Nanyang is not the same as before. I have been stationed in Nanyang for a hundred years, not to eat dry food, I have been building Nanyang, but the enemy country harasses the border every few years, so that Nanyang can not be as prosperous and stable as the imperial capital anyway. ”

Gu Qingyan nodded, "The neighboring countries adjacent to Nanyang are Southern Qi and Southern Liang, the boundary of the Three Kingdoms, it is difficult to maintain stability, and now the Three Realms have been stable for eight years since the Battle of Yuxueling, right?" ”

"Hmm." An Huajin nodded, "I'm afraid it won't take two years, and I'll have to make trouble again." ”

Gu Qingyan's mind moved, "What do you say?" Nanqi and Nanliang are about to move again? ”

"Grandpa is old, and I am a daughter's family, in other words, it is equivalent to having no one in the An family who can go to war. Nanqi and Nanliang have always been ambitious, wanting to join forces to deal with Da Chu, eight years ago, my father and brother died on the battlefield, but that battle also killed the most powerful generals of Nanqi and Nanliang, and even Nanqi also lost a prince. After the war, Da Chu won a tragic victory, and Nanqi and Nanliang had no power to fight back. After eight years of recuperation, it must be time to rest. An Huajin shrugged, "That's just my guess." ”

Gu Qingyan pondered for a moment, "Your guess is not unreasonable. ”

An Huajin stopped talking and concentrated on killing fish.

Gu Qingyan squatted beside her, thinking that His Majesty used to think that the An family was a tiger of internal worries on the side of the couch that threatened him, so after the battle of Yuxueling, there was no father and son of the An family internally, and Nanqi and Nanliang did not dare to commit any more crimes, so they sat back and relaxed.

Have you ever thought about how maybe Nanqi and Nanliang will make a comeback over the years? So, who goes to war? Is it an old Nanyang king who is over the age of six? Or is it the slender girl in front of him who is only twenty-eight years old?

Obviously, His Majesty did not think about it. Otherwise, three years ago, he would not have learned that the eldest prince had privately made improved weapons, and the thunder was furious and almost killed the eldest prince with a sword. Three years have passed, and there is no sign of loosening the eldest prince.

In the past eight years, His Majesty seems to have no other thoughts than to promote the marriage of An Gu, whether it is to transform old weapons, promote new generals, or cultivate another general who can fight well like the father and son of the An family.

Approximately, His Majesty finally got rid of the tiger on the side of the couch, and didn't want to promote another general who couldn't sleep well.

Therefore, over the years, His Majesty has been very content with the status quo, whether it is the situation of the Nanyang Palace, or the current stable situation, he is satisfied.

He sighed silently in his heart and asked, "Is Grandpa An okay?" ”

"Not so good."

Gu Qingyan whispered, "How long do you plan to stay in Beijing when you come to Beijing this time?" ”

An Huajin blinked, "I said I want to go back tomorrow, will Your Majesty let me go back?" ”

Gu Qingyan was silent, "I'm afraid not." ”

She didn't nod her head about her marriage with him, and His Majesty would not agree to let her go back to Nanyang.

An Huajin patted the scales on his hands, and said indifferently, "Since I won't, I don't bother to think about it, anyway, if I go back to Nanyang, I can't stay in the army." There's nothing going on left or right, so let's stay in Beijing. Maybe I can think of a way to save the eldest prince. ”

Gu Qingyan was stunned, "You want to save the eldest prince?" ”

"Don't you want to save?" An Huajin looked at him, "For three years, the eldest prince hasn't bitten you out, not to mention, he also rebelled against His Majesty's wishes because of the battle of Yuxueling and the death of my father and brother. ”

Gu Qingyan shook his head, "There is no good way, if there is, I would have rescued him in the past three years." Your Majesty is very strict with your Majesty. You just came to Beijing, don't act rashly, the eldest prince has not been in danger of his life for at least the past three years, the coming day is long, plan slowly, and don't be impatient, so as not to backfire. ”

"I'm not stupid." An Huajin glanced at him, "This fish is too big, come, help press it." ”

Gu Qingyan watched that she was busy with her own work for a long time, and finally she had a place to use, and immediately helped her hold down the biggest fish.
