Chapter 43 Warm Friendship and Enlightenment
When I returned to Xiao Yu's yard, there was a subordinate on duty at night, and when he heard movement in the yard, he went out to see, and when he saw Xiao Yu, he went up to say hello: "The young master is back." The slave will light the lamp for you" But what did the servant see, hey, the young master of his own family actually pulled a little boy with long eyebrows and beautiful eyes. These two big men are pulling and pulling like this, it's really spicy. stared at Xiao Yu's hand for a while. Xiao Yu also noticed the strange gaze of the subordinate and glanced at him. The servant shrank his head in fear.
An An was very amused on the side. He hooked his lips and laughed silently.
The servant hurriedly went back and lit the lamp for Xiao Yu, and then asked, "What else do you have to say?" Xiao Yu said: "You go down first" The servant retreated first.
Only Xiao Yu and An An were left in the house, and An An said, "Brother Xiao, why did you take me out of the Eldest Princess's Mansion?" Is it possible for you, yes, yes, yes"
Xiao Yu was puzzled: "What's there?" ”
An An didn't dare to say that this involved the dignity of a man, and she was still a high-ranking and powerful man, and she was afraid that her life would not be guaranteed. Then he changed his words and said, "Ha, is there any discomfort that I need to see?" ”
Xiao Yu said: "I'm very good, your brother is very anxious about your business, I wanted to take you home and let them see, but recently the situation in the court has changed, my identity is a little troublesome, I don't want to involve the innocent, I can only take you to the Protector's Mansion, and ask my grandmother to help you send a message to your brother tomorrow." Thank you for your understanding. “
An An knew that he was thinking badly. But isn't it over when he confirms in the Eldest Princess's Mansion? Why do you have to bring it back to confirm, this brain circuit is really weird. She said: "Thank you Brother Xiao for your help, I'm sorry for your trouble, the eldest princess treats me with great courtesy, except for treating the little county lord, she doesn't embarrass me." Makes you bothered. ”
Xiao Yu said: "That's good, stay here with me tonight, tomorrow morning, I will send someone to your house to call your third brother, you will meet, and then I will send you back." ”
An An said: "Okay, then trouble Brother Xiao." Then he looked around in his room.
Xiao Yu had nothing to say for a while, and the atmosphere was cold for a while. The problem is that this thing doesn't even know how to make people sit down and talk.
An An was tired all day and wanted to rest early, but she didn't eat much at night. But being cleaned up by Xiao Yu, talking all the way, and blowing a cold wind all the way, he was a lot more energetic, and he was a little thirsty and hungry at the moment. But seeing that it was getting late, it was not good to disturb others to cook, but he didn't want to abuse himself, so he hesitated a little and said: "Brother Xiao, well, you have ready-made food here, I'm a little hungry and a little thirsty." ”
Hearing him say this, Xiao Yu realized that he hadn't eaten a few bites in the eldest princess's mansion, and he was also a little hungry at this time, but he didn't come back often, and he didn't have any snacks at home, so he had supper. Then he said, "If you don't have anything to eat, I'll ask someone to boil some hot water." What do you want to eat, I asked him to ask the cook to make some, I just didn't need to eat, let's go together. “
An An heard him say this, but he was calling the cook out of the quilt so late, so he must be unhappy, so he might as well do it himself. She said: "Don't be so troublesome, if you want to come to the cook, you can take me to the kitchen, I can see what ingredients to make, as long as you don't dislike it, you can also taste my craftsmanship." ”
Xiao Yu thought: She is also an official lady, when do you need to cook by yourself? I couldn't help but look at her with some doubts.
An An said: "Oh, don't you believe it? It's still okay for me to cook. ‘
Xiao Yu thought that it would be embarrassing for the two of them to stay like this, so it was better to find something to do, so he responded to her: "Okay, then you come to the kitchen with me." ‘
The two went to the kitchen again
An An had been in contact with Xiao Yu, and this feeling may be a feeling for his comrades-in-arms, so he was only treated as a friend, and was not as restrained as he was in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and said, "Can I take a look at it at will?" “
Xiao Yu nodded.
An An found the ingredients, and she found that there were not many dishes here on a cold day, some cabbage, meat, radish, potatoes, chicken, vermicelli, and the rest were nothing.
An An thought about it, and the fastest was noodles, so he asked, "Brother Xiao, do you eat noodles?" How about a bowl of shredded pork noodles? ”
Xiao Yu has been in the barracks for five years, and he is not very particular about food, so he said: "Okay"
An An started to prepare, and then Xiao Yu naturally cooperated with the fire. This is because after a long delay on the road, it was about 8 o'clock when they came back, Xiao Yu took An Anjing to his grandmother's yard, but it was dark inside, and the old lady had already rested. turned around and returned to his yard, and An An had no choice but to follow him back.
On the way, An An saw that Xiao Yu didn't say a word, so he had to find something to ask again: "Brother Xiao, you said that your brother is unwell, but in your house?" Can you tell us about him? ”
Xiao Yu stopped suddenly, and An An didn't notice it and hit Xiao Yu's back. An An hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I'm sorry, I didn't know you would stop." Xiao Yu glanced at her, and suddenly remembered that the last time they met, it was like this, and this village girl always seemed to not look at the road. He reached out again and took her arm, trying to pull her away.
An An looked at his move and was stunned again. He fought stupidly and didn't move.
Xiao Yu said: "There is nothing wrong with my brother, but it is just a pretext." It was getting late, the road was not easy to walk, so I followed, and then took her arm and walked forward by myself. ”
An An knew that he had good intentions, and he didn't say much, let him take him, but thought in his heart: This person is also a strange thing in ancient times, do you know whether men and women give or receive kisses, this day and hug, pull, and ride the same horse, if you change to another woman, can't you cry and shout to make her responsible? That's not right! If this is the case, shouldn't this kind of ash-level handsome guy have three wives and four concubines earlier, why is he still alone? Oh, he just said that his brother is not very good, and now he says that it is a pretext, is it possible, this brother is not his brother, he has a hidden disease? Suddenly, An An looked at Xiao Yu and felt a little sympathetic. Such a male god has this problem, but it's a pity, I'll have to take a good look at it for him later.
Xiao Yu didn't know what messy things An An was thinking in his head, he walked in front steadily, An An followed obediently beside him, looking at it from a distance, it was quite like a husband and wife returning home.
。 The two cooperate very tacitly.
Xiao Yu saw An An's skillful meat cutting and vegetable preparation, and the knife skills were very good. There are also some expectations, and he also wants to know what kind of meal An An will make.
When An An was busy with his work, he occasionally looked at Xiao Yu, thinking that he was really tyrannical with this handsome male god who commanded the army to burn the fire.
Every time An An looked, Xiao Yu knew it, he pretended not to see it, but somehow, his heart was warm, it seemed that since his parents died, he felt the taste of home in the Protector's Mansion for the first time.
About half an hour, An An's noodles came out of the pot, she proudly served the rice to Xiao Yu, bursts of heat rose from the bowl, she asked expectantly, "Taste it, how about it?" ”
Xiao Yu glanced at him, then picked up the chopsticks, took a bite of the noodles, felt that the taste was good, he looked up and said, "Not bad"
An An was complimented, so she lowered her head and ate quickly.
This time it was Xiao Yu's turn to be surprised, is this girl really a young lady, she started eating, gulped, and did not have the elegance of an ordinary woman at all, and glanced at her.
An An said while eating, "What's the matter, Brother Xiao?" ”
Xiao Yu said: 'Oh, it's okay'
An An was feasting again. It's really comfortable to eat a bowl of noodles on this cold day.
Xiao Yu saw that she was eating very happily, and thought in his heart, such a true temperament is also cute, and his appetite has improved, so he also buried his head in eating.
The two of them ate and drank to their heart's content, An An insisted on washing the dishes, brushing the pot, and went back to the room with Xiao Yu.
What they didn't know was that the subordinate on duty at night followed his young master to see what he had ordered, and he saw that the young master and the little boy were cooking by themselves. This is really the sun coming out in the west, the little boy is soft and weak, and his voice is so good, the girl is average, I don't know what the relationship with the young master is. The two of them still talked and laughed. The point is that the noodles are so fragrant, they don't have their own share.
The two returned to the room, so the question is, where is An An going to sleep?
An An said, "Then Brother Xiao, where am I staying tonight?" ”
Xiao Yu thought that one of the rooms in his courtyard was for Liu Xiong and the other for Shibi, and it was not suitable to live in An'an. Then only his room was suitable, so he said, "Just stay here with me"
An An was speechless again. "You, you, me, me"
Xiao Yu knew that she had misunderstood, so he said, "You sleep with me here, and I sleep elsewhere." ”
An An is embarrassed again, this is her own daughter's house, and it doesn't seem to be good to sleep in a man's room. And I slept in a man's room where his wife had died, and I felt a little chill in my back thinking about it. His dead wife wouldn't come in the middle of the night to find trouble. An An pondered for a while: "Brother Xiao, this room is the bedroom between you and your wife, I sleep here, it seems very rude, just have a guest room"
When Xiao Yu heard her say this, he was a little irritated for some reason, so he explained: "It's okay, you should treat this as a guest room." ”
An An was a little unhappy when he heard his tone, thinking that he was sad to mention someone's dead wife, so he hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Brother Xiao, I mentioned your sadness." I didn't mean to. I just heard that you have a very close relationship with your wife, and I am afraid of disturbing you. ”
Xiao Yu didn't know where he got the news, he knew that she had misunderstood, he and Ying'er only had a brother and sister relationship, how could they be husband and wife, Xiao Yu didn't want her to misunderstand, so he said: "Don't speculate, Ying'er hasn't lived in the Protector's Mansion for a day, let alone entered my bedroom." It's not early, let's rest early. ‘
An An was a little surprised, did he explain it to himself?
Then he opened the closet, took a new quilt, stuffed it into An An's hand, and then strode to the bed, ready to go out with his quilt in his arms. Seeing the painting scroll lying quietly on the pillow at home without opinion, he remembered, isn't this exactly An An's portrait? Fortunately, the painting is rolled. He quickly put the painting in his sleeve and went out with the quilt in his arms.
An An had to sleep on Xiao Yu's bed, she was also very tired, and fell asleep after a while.
And Xiao Yu, who slept in Liu Xiong's room, had insomnia, he opened An An's portrait, looked at it carefully, and recalled everything he saw An An, this woman was smart and lively, good at medicine, good at cooking, and also knowledgeable in military affairs, and her thoughts were wild. The demeanor is bold and the behavior is natural, without the slightest cowardice of other women. He summed up all the advantages he could think of, and then concluded: Is that why he will never forget her?
He took the portrait and then lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and immediately encircled An An in his arms, and he finally realized that he didn't think about it day and night because he owed her kindness, but he admired this woman very much, so his thoughts were uncontrollable. Knowing his intentions, Xiao Yu suddenly calmed down, that is, he was moved, so he took it. Why bother? Xiao Yu, who had figured it out, put the portrait next to him and soon fell asleep happily.
