According to Fengcheng customs, a child as old as Gu Yao eats soft-hearted eggs the longest. The yolk of the soft-boiled egg is semi-solidified and extremely fishy. Gu Yao protested at first, but after a few years, he has become very accustomed to it. On the contrary, there is a sudden feeling that the whole person is not quite right.

Remembering the jade lady who had disappeared in the morning, Gu Yao muttered "It's weird" and stopped Zhang Quan: "Brother Quan, what is a good day today, how to cook hard-boiled eggs?" ”

Zhang Quan hung his head and was silent, Gu Yao put down his chopsticks, walked around in front of Zhang Quan, bent over, and looked at the young man from the bottom up. In the peach blossom eyes of the young man, sadness and reluctance coexist, and he is too red, not like he has cried, but more like a sleepless night. As a result, before he finished reading it, someone asked Old Man Gu to drag it back.

The old man said, "Don't you like to eat hard-boiled eggs?" I specially asked Zhang Quan to cook it. ”

"Really? I don't like to eat hard-boiled eggs anymore, so I'll leave this to Brother Quan. ”

Gu Yao didn't know how many times he had said similar things, Zhang Quan had long been accustomed to it, and he didn't bother to say anything he refused. This time, the boy suddenly turned his face, his shoulders trembled, and there was a faint sound of sobbing.

Zhang Sheng was injured, but Zhang Quan didn't cry; Zhang Sheng left, but Zhang Quan didn't cry. Crying now, Gu Yao didn't know that something had happened, and the two lives were in vain. Seeing Gu Yao's color change, the old man slammed his chopsticks, and angrily reprimanded Zhang Quan: "How old are you, why are you crying?" Don't roll yet. ”

Zhang Quan just turned his back and left.

Gu Yao looked at the old man and asked, "Grandpa, is there something?" ”

After Old Man Gu purred half a bowl of noodles in one breath, Fang said, "I want to go to Shuntian Mansion." ”

Gu Yao bowed his head, indicating that he knew about it.

Zhu Di's third son, Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, went to Shuntian and town Beijing. On the day of Xiao Mengming's first birthday banquet, King Zhao sent people to send congratulatory gifts and invitation stickers - inviting the children of officials on the ground in Liaodong to enter Shuntian for hunting and dragon boat racing.

Hunting is fine, but running a dragon boat in Shuntianfu, the water resources of Shuntianfu are not enough, and the boat is even more touching.

However, the royal face still has to be given. On the ground in Liaodong, Meng Shan took the lead and allowed the children of the Meng family to attend, and the children of the four-rank official family responded one after another, and gathered twenty teenagers who were less than the weak crown. The teenagers need a leader, and there are a total of four people in Liaodong commanding the affairs, and there is one less master, not a matter. At the same time, the old man's son was in Shuntian, and Meng Shan asked the old man to lead the team south, and the day after tomorrow, that is, on March 26, he was going to set off.

Gu Yao followed his father's figure in his memory, stayed up day and night, and sewed a simplified version of the Confucian spring shirt - that is, he sewed out two sleeves of a piece of cloth from the boss, and put on a belt, so simple that he couldn't go out to meet people.

The old man got up and said as he walked: "When I leave, I will take you with me." You, eat quickly, finish eating and clean up. ”

Go home!

When she first arrived, she refused to accept the facts. Leaving Wanping, Gu Yao knew how much he wanted to have a father. In the past few years, whenever something happens, she can't help but think, if this is in Wanping and her father is here, she won't be so pitiful!

But the more she thought about it, the less things went her way. Now, she has half given up the state, who knows, the sky has brought great blessings, and she can go home to be a little princess!

Uh, no, so suddenly, is it-"Grandpa, is there a war?" ”

"Don't think about it."

After saying this, the old man had already arrived at the door, Gu Yao didn't eat, chased after him, and asked persistently: "There is no war, why do you tell me to go in such a hurry?" ”

"I have something to do now, I'll come back and talk to you about it."

Gu Yao had to turn back and collide with Dongxue, who had just reacted.

Dongxue asked nervously: "Miss Gu, really, do you really want to leave?" ”

Gu Yao knew that she was a local, so he didn't hide it from her: "I will definitely be happy to return to Shuntian." It's just that after so many years, my luck hasn't been good, and suddenly the sky has a blessing, and I don't fit in. ”

Dong Xue opened her mouth, and when she wanted to speak, Gu Yao said, "If you have something to say, you can say it directly." ”

"It's the girl, you called the slave maid! The girls have called Hou Ye as their granddaughter, what a luck! Let the emperor recognize her as a daughter, that's it, right? Dongxue waved her small fist and said indignantly.

Well, according to what you say, then I, a person who has been hanging, is still alive and kicking around in Daming, wouldn't my luck be better? Gu Yao suddenly felt weak, and decisively changed the topic: "That is not important." In short, you can't go so unclear, you go to someone and ask. ”

After Gu Yao finished speaking, the outer eight characters raised by the winter snow went to the eyebrows, and the inner eight characters that had become upside-down raised eyebrows, the girl said bitterly: "Good girl, this is the General's Mansion, not the Hou Mansion, where can the slave and maid inquire?" ”

"Find Brother Quan, go, together."

Zhang Quan was very uncomfortable.

After his brother entered the camp, he lived alone all the year round, and he didn't feel good, nor did he feel anything bad. In the past few years, the girl has always pestered him to do this and that, and he felt that life had a taste. Last year, the girl was always not at home, but she also came back every once in a while, and when she came back, she didn't leave her own things, which was much more meticulous than her brother.

Although I have never called a girl a sister, I have always regarded her as a sister, Zhang Quan said in his heart.

You're not my own sister! The general said to send you away, I said I would follow, and the general did not agree - he could restore my military status at any time. After reinstating my military status, I could only cultivate land and train in this land. But I don't want to, I just want to cook for you quietly.

Zhang Quan wiped away a handful of tears again, ignoring Gu Yao's shouts outside the door.

He was afraid, afraid that he would say something he shouldn't have said, afraid that his brain would twitch and follow Gu Yao, and most afraid that the old man would take away Zhang Sheng's stable life. At this moment, Gu Yao outside asked: "Brother Quan knows why he sent me away, but he can't tell me, but?" ”

I don't know how long it took, Gu Yao suddenly said, "Okay, I think, I understand."

Back in the main courtyard, Gu Yao told Dongxue: "There must be something here, you bring some money and ask around." ”

Winter Snow responded, loaded with two bags of money, and left; Gu Yao ran to the gate and sat on the high threshold, looking into the distance.

Waiting for the old man, also waiting for the jade lady.

Old Man Gu didn't go anywhere else, but went to Meng's house and told Meng Shan his plan: "The last general is going to return the five girls to his father." ”

Meng Shan quietly looked at his subordinates who were bent over, silent.

When Old Man Gu was about to lose his bearing, he heard him say: "The child is small, so it's good to follow his parents." Go, and be careful with what I commanded you. ”

At noon, Old Man Gu came back and saw his granddaughter shrunk into a ball, her head resting on her knees together, and her eyes were scattered, not to mention how aggrieved he was.

Gu Yao stepped forward, pulled the corner of the old man's sleeve, swayed it, and asked him with a look of hope: "Grandpa, can I not go home?" ”

"If you don't go home, will you sleep on the threshold?"

Meng Xuan looked at her seriously and said, "But I haven't seen you for a few days, is this fat again?" ”

Gu Yao turned his face away and ignored him.

The old man sighed in his heart, patted the back of Gu Yao's head, and said, "Go back first, and wait for grandpa for a while." ”

Gu Yao took advantage of his efforts to comfort himself, quickly raised his head, looked into those dry eyes, and went to see his truest thoughts.
