Spring ploughing, summer ploughing, autumn harvest and winter hiding, the farmer is busy all year round, the Yan family does not have to do farm work, and the days in the Zhuangzi are quiet and leisurely. In the afternoon of this day, Yan Hagi woke up from a nap, but refused to get up, arching in the soft silver and blue satin quilt embroidered with auspicious longevity patterns.

Tao Yuan stood beside the bed with her clothes, "Miss Twelve, come out and get dressed, you will be cold like this." ”

Yan Hagi was unmoved, continued to arch in the quilt, and let out a crisp laugh, she played this game tirelessly, and after being a child for a long time, she became more and more naΓ―ve. Mrs. Yan stepped forward to lift the quilt, and saw that her granddaughter's face was pink and pink, and her hair was messy like a chicken nest, and said with a smile: "Good girl, come out soon, accompany grandmother for a walk." ”

Yan Hao rolled out of the quilt, stretched out his hand and said, "I will wear it myself." ”

"Give her her the garments and let her dress herself." Old Madam Yan said with a smile.

The clothes were put on in one go, but she wouldn't comb her unkempt hair, "Sister Taoyuan, please help me comb my hair in a simple bun." ”

"Yes, Miss Twelve." Tao Yuan first helped her comb her hair, combed three braids on the left and right, pulled up the two braids in the middle, pinned them with a small gilt press, the top two braids passed through the gap between the two braids, and also pulled them up, the four strands of hair were tied into a small bun, and a small phoenix tail beaded hairpin was put on, the bottom braid hung down on the shoulder, and the tail of the braid was tied with a pink hairband.

"Sister Taoyuan's hands are so skillful, Xiaoxiao is so good-looking." Yan Hagi looked in the mirror and said beautifully.

"Miss Twelve is naturally beautiful, and the slave is just the icing on the cake." Momoyuan smiled.

Yan Hagi held his face, "The country is overwhelmed." ”

Mrs. Yan was amused by her granddaughter's cheekiness, "Good girl, with you, grandmother has nothing to worry about." ”

Yan Hagi grinned, put on a big red feather veil and a white fox in the crane, put on a Guanyin pocket, changed into lambskin boots, and followed Mrs. Yan out. A few maidservants and two guards followed, followed by a carriage that walked slowly. This is to prevent the grandparents and grandchildren from going far away and not having the strength to walk back.

Although it was the middle of winter, there were still people busy in the fields, and Yan Hagi saw an old farmer walking slowly with an old cow, and couldn't help but hum: "Walking on the country road, the old cow returning from the evening is my companion." The blue sky is accompanied by a sunset in the chest, and the colorful clouds are the clothes of the sunset...... Walking on the country road, the song of the shepherd boy is rippling......"

Mrs. Yan listened to it for a while and said with a smile: "This little song is in time for the occasion." ”

Yan Hagi grinned and continued on his way; When Mrs. Yan saw an old woman in the field, she couldn't help but stop. The old woman also saw Mrs. Yan, rubbed her hands busily, said a word to the middle-aged man, climbed up the ridge, and came over to salute, "But the old lady of the owner?" ”

Old Madam Yan nodded with a smile and asked, "How old are you, why are you still working in the fields?" ”

The old woman did not rush to answer the question, but knelt down and kowtowed, "Say hello to the old lady of the host." ”

"Ouch, don't be polite, old man." Old Madam Yan said weakly.

The old woman got up quickly and said, "The one over there is my eldest grandson, who usually studies in the county school, and today his father said to take advantage of the warm weather to plant some white siads." He helped turn the soil, and I came to help plant the seeds. ”

"It's really hard." Old Madam Yan smiled with emotion.

"Zhuanghu people, can not rely on the field to eat, thanks to the good heart of the owner, the rent has not been high, God also appreciates the face, these years are smooth wind and rain, food and clothing do not worry." The old woman was very content with her present life. This hot spring village has nearly 1,000 acres of fertile land and 300 acres of mountain forests, but there are less than 100 households, except for the fields planted by the villagers themselves, the rest are rented to the villagers of the surrounding villages.

Old Madam Yan was about to say something, but when she heard Yan Hao's scream, Old Madam Yan was startled, "Xiaoxiao." When he looked up, he saw his granddaughter standing not far in front of him, and sighed lightly. But in the end, she was not at ease, and Mrs. Yan nodded to the old woman, "You old man is busy." ”

After saying that, the old lady Yan walked towards Yan Hao, and heard Yan Hao shouting: "Ma'er, get out of the way, we don't want to hurt your master, we want to save him." ”

Old Madam Yan walked a few steps quickly, walked to Yan Hao's side, and looked down, there was a man by the stream, and a horse neighed in warning, not letting Ah Ping A'an approach, and it dutifully guarded its master.

Ah Ping and Ah An discussed, Ah Ping went to control the horse, and Ah An went to save people. Yan Hagi asked eagerly, "Are you still alive?" ”

Ah An replied, "This man is still angry. ”

"You two go down too, and be careful to carry the people up." Old Madam Yan asked the other two guards to go down to help.

The person was rescued, and Mrs. Yan looked at the falling jade pendant thoughtfully. Yan Hagi poked his head over and looked at it, he didn't know him, he looked okay, but he was pale like a ghost.

"Carry Zhao Gongzi into the carriage, hurry back to Zhuangzi, place him in the guest room of the hospital, and let Wu Zhuangtou invite a doctor to treat his injuries." Old Madam Yan commanded.

The groom drove the carriage away quickly, and Yan Hagi stepped forward to help Mrs. Yan and walked back slowly, "Grandmother, who is that person?" ”

"It should be Zhao Yanqing, the eldest son of the Chengguo Mansion." Old Madam Yan frowned.

"The eldest prince of the Guogong Mansion!" Yan Hagi is not a really ignorant nine-year-old girl, and when she heard Mrs. Yan tell Zhao Yanqing's identity, she understood that things here were not simple.

Zhao Yanqing is the original son-in-law of Cheng Guogong and the heir of the Guogong Mansion, but Cheng Guogong refused to ask for the title; The Duchess of Chengguo's mistreatment of her original concubine spread in the capital. Zhao Yanqing was alone, seriously injured, and was most likely chased and killed.

Old Mrs. Yan came back to Zhuangzi, sent Yan Hagi away, and called Wu Zhuangtou and his wife, "How many nurseries did the fifth child leave behind?" ”

"The fifth master left thirty nurses." Wu Zhuangtou replied.

"You go and have them all patrol the yard with knives, be vigilant, and watch for any unusual movements around you." Mrs. Yan was worried that only the thirty courtyards would not be able to protect the female dependents of this courtyard, so she asked the lady of the martial family to call all the men in the village, set up more than a dozen tables in the open space outside the courtyard, and gathered them together for dinner.

Then let the second Mrs. Yan and the county lord of Nanping identify the jade pendant, "I look at the logo that looks like the Chengguo Mansion, don't you take a look?" ”

After Mrs. Yan and the county lord of Nanping confessed, "It is indeed the logo of the Chengguo Mansion." ”

"Don't publicize the matter of saving people, so as not to cause more trouble." Old Madam Yan instructed.

Rescue Zhao Yanqing, can hide from the outside people, but the Yan family can't hide it, Yan Qian learned that Mrs. Yan and Yan Hagi rescued Zhao Yanqing, shocked, in her previous life she had heard that Zhao Yanqing was chased and killed by his stepmother Chengguo Duchess Zhou, and fled to a small mountain village, and then all the people in that small mountain village were slaughtered overnight.

"In the previous life, it was a hunter who saved Zhao Yanqing, how did he become Yan Hagi in this life?" Yan Qian asked herself in a low voice.

The people in the small mountain village in the previous life died because of Zhao Yanqing, and those who hunted down and killed Zhao Yanqing in this life will definitely do the same. The more Yan Qian thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she couldn't help but secretly scold Yan Hao for being nosy, that Zhao Yanqing had nothing to do with the Yan family, what to do to save him, and get into trouble plainly, "It's also a little lucky star, it's obviously a little disaster star." ”

Yan Qian resented Yan Hao, but unfortunately Zhao Yanqing had been rescued into the courtyard, and it was impossible to drive people out again; During dinner, Yan Qian couldn't help but taunt Yan Hao, "I really didn't see that the twelve sisters have a bodhisattva heart." ”

Yan Hao didn't expect that he had already torn off his face on the mountain that day, Yan Qian was embarrassed to talk to her, but Yan Qian wanted to die on her face, but Yan Hao didn't want to take care of it, turned a deaf ear, and put a piece of chicken in her mouth.

Yan Qian saw that Yan Hagi ignored her, and became even more angry, "The twelfth sister is so kind-hearted, why don't you take refuge in Buddhism?" In the future, he may be able to become a real Bodhisattva, so that the general public can compete to worship. ”

"Sixth sister, you don't say anything when you eat, you don't say anything when you sleep. This truth is understood by Xiao Fourteen. Yan Hao smiled crookedly, so she didn't quarrel with fools and lowered her grade.

Yan Jing swallowed the meat in her mouth and raised her head, "Xiao Fourteen doesn't speak when he eats, he is a sensible and good child." ”

"Yes, Little Fourteen is a sensible and good boy." Yan Hao deliberately repeated Yan Jing's words, intending to ridicule Yan Qian for not even being as good as a three or four-year-old girl.

Yan Qian angrily pulled rice into his mouth, and then accidentally bit his mouth, "Ouch." He covered his left cheek.

"Sixth sister, no one is robbing you, you don't have to be in such a hurry." Yan Hong said with a grin.

Yan Qian glared at Yan Hong viciously, but Yan Hong turned a blind eye and ate with vegetables.

After a while, after eating, the maidservant girl brought the tea, and Mrs. Yan picked up the teacup, put it down again, coughed lightly, and said, "Everyone is not in a hurry to go back to the room, sit in the hall for a while." ”

On the top of a hill not far from Zhuangzi, there were more than a dozen people dressed in black standing there at this time. The two black-clothed men in the lead have been looking at Zhuangzi's side, and after a while, a thin black-clothed man came to the two of them and reported: "Two adults, my subordinates have sent someone to visit, that Zhuangzi is the Zhuangzi of the Yan family, and Mrs. Yan took her daughter-in-law and granddaughters to live here, and set up a banquet today." At least seventy or eighty people gathered outside the courtyard, and many practitioners were patrolling with knives. ”

The black-clothed man on the right said: "Big brother, it seems that the kid should be hiding in the Zhuangzi, what should I do now?" ”

The man in black on the left was silent for a long time, "Withdraw first today." ”

"Big brother." The man in black on the right was unwilling, "The opportunity is rare." ”

"That's the Yan family's Zhuangzi, the Yan family's daughters are here, there are nurses, and there are villagers, we can't wipe them all out, this time it's the only way, damn it, that kid has a big life." The man in black on the left led the men and horses behind him and left the hill.

The people sent by Wuzhuangtou immediately responded to the situation when they found out about the situation, and Wuzhuangtou heard the news and went into the house to report: "Old lady, those people on the hill near Zhuangzi have left. ”

The crisis was lifted, Mrs. Yan straightened her body, bent down slightly, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "The second family, give the prepared silver melon seeds to the head of Wuzhuang, and tell the nurses that they have worked hard today." Have some hot soup and food in the kitchen and bring it to them to keep them warm. They were also asked to patrol in shifts at night in case they returned. ”

"The small ones must be arranged, old lady, please rest assured." Wu Zhuangtou took the purse handed by Mrs. Yan's second wife, saluted and withdrew.

Old Madam Yan took another sip of tea, to be honest, she was really afraid that the group of people would rush in and kill people, but fortunately, the group of people was scared away, "It's not too early, let's go back and rest." Xiaoxiao, just sleep with me. ”

Mrs. Yan took Yan Hagi back to the main room of the second entrance, and the others went back to their own rooms, Nanping County mainly went to the courtyard of the third entrance, and the second Mrs. Yan suddenly said: "Fourth brother and sister, I have a few words to tell you, come and sit in my room." ”

The county lord of Nanping went to her small living room with Mrs. Yan, the two of them sat down, and Mrs. Yan said: "In the peaceful and prosperous world, I don't know who is so bold as to dare to hunt down and kill the son of the Guogong Mansion?" ”

The county lord of Nanping was a little speechless, this second sister-in-law, she loves to detour when she speaks, who else can she be who dares to chase and kill Zhao Yanqing? You don't have to ask her. The county lord of Nanping got up and pretended to leave, "Second sister-in-law, it's late at night, I'm going back to rest." ”

Second Mrs. Yan grabbed the county lord of Nanping and said with a smile: "That's the case, my sister-in-law wants to marry her youngest daughter to the second son of the Chengguo Mansion." ”

"What kind of reputation is the Chengguo Mansion, your sister-in-law doesn't know, you should always know, the Duchess of Chengguo is a famous poisonous woman in Beijing, and the Chengguo Mansion is a fire pit, not to mention the girl who came out of the concubine, it is the concubine, and no one wants to marry the Chengguo Mansion." The county lord of Nanping said unceremoniously.

Mrs. Yan said in disbelief: "I thought the rumors were exaggerated, but the daring love was all true." ”

"Of course it's true, besides, the eldest prince of Zhao hasn't married a wife yet, so he said goodbye to the second son, is there still a bit of an order between the young and the old?" The county lord of Nanping felt that the Duchess of Chengguo had gone too far.

"I have to write to my sister-in-law quickly, but I can't miss my little niece's life." The second empress dowager Yan is afraid of the authentic.

"Second sister-in-law, then you write slowly, I'll go back to the room first." The county lord of Nanping left with a smile.

Zhao Yanqing is a young man in the end, and he practices martial arts, and his physical fitness is good, plus Mrs. Yan used the best medicine for him, he woke up the next morning, looking at the unfamiliar environment, he was dazed for a while, there was sunlight through the window paper, this should not be the underworld, where could it be?

The "squeak" door was pushed open, and Zhao Yanqing turned his head with difficulty to see that it was a strange young man, who was holding a bowl in his hand, "Childe, you're awake, it's great." ”

Zhao Yanqing asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?" Where is this? ”

"Childe, don't move, your injuries are very serious. I'm not a bad person, my name is Wu Xiaobei, I'm the youngest son of Zhuangtou, this is Yanjiazhuang, you were rescued by my old lady. Wu Xiaobei put the bowl on the low table next to the bed.

There are not many people with the surname Yan, Zhao Yanqing immediately thought of the Yan Mansion in Beijing, and asked, "What does this Yanjiazhuang have to do with Taifu Yan in Beijing?" ”

Wu Xiaobei replied: "Mrs. Yan is the old lady of my family. ”

Knowing that it was Mrs. Yan's family, Zhao Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief, "Where is the old lady now?" I...... ...... hiss" Zhao Yanqing pulled at the wound, and the huge pain made him gasp.

Wu Xiaobei supported him, "Childe, you drink the medicine first, lie down, I'll ask the old lady to come over." ”

Zhao Yanqing is not good to be strong again.

Wu Xiaobei waited for him to drink the medicine, turned around and went out to invite Mrs. Yan.

Do you know which song it is? "After Baidu, I learned that people sang that the old cow who returned at dusk was my companion. Where are there any turtles?
