A can of roasted knives, two bowls of braised boiled fire, plus sour and crispy silver strips, boiled swallow shreds, spiced beef, and spicy fried noodles. The two brothers sat in a cramped, greasy little shop and drank bitterly. Seven or eight guards accompanied him, two baked cakes per person, and a piece of cooked beef squatted outside the door to sentry.

Outside the store, the snow is endless, and there is a table of business in the store. The shopkeeper was not only not anxious, but took out a stack of boiled liver tips, cut the green onions, ginger and garlic, put thirteen flavors, mixed a large spoonful of sesame oil into a dipping sauce, and put it on the table of the two with a smile.

"This is the pork liver marinated in my own old soup, can you eat it?"

He Youan burned a few cups of knives, his face was a little drunk, and said: "It's snowing a lot today, there is no one in the store, and the shopkeeper also came over, how many drinks together?" ”

"No, no, no, the gentlemen are all clean people, you see my oily twist, sitting next to me and pickling them." After speaking, he quickly hid in the stove with a shy face. Warmly watched the two of them drink and eat.

Prince Rong put a piece of liver tip in his mouth, raised a glass of wine, and made a toast with the shopkeeper on the stove. The shopkeeper nodded, and the smile on his face, like cabbage in the cellar in winter, was densely piled on his face.

The shopkeeper made a pot of hot soup, held a stack of thick bowls, and went outside. The guards had just finished nibbling on the baked cakes, their throats were thirsty, and a bowl of hot muddy soup could have a good dream of chicken, duck and fish all night.

Before dawn the next day, Prince Rong and He Youan entered the palace to discuss matters. Dozens of important ministers of the imperial court discussed the deployment of the operation. He Youan couldn't listen to it, instead of discussing the war situation, they did everything possible to protect their gray interests in Jiangnan. In the morning, four or five dignitaries argued endlessly about the location of the battle in the imperial court. is full of family and country, and his stomach is full of his own little ninety-nine.

He You'an sat on the side, looking coldly at the well-dressed beasts flying in front of him, and sneered in his heart: You are noisy, where will you fight? It depends on where the rebels are going, and instead of talking to each other here, it is better to go home and burn incense and worship the Buddha, begging the rebels to bypass their territory.

At lunchtime, several red-faced adults realized that the prince and General He had long since disappeared. Prince Rong was going to Jingxi Daying in the afternoon for inspection, and He Youan stayed in Ziwei Shrine with trivial matters in the palace.

He You'an didn't care about lunch, so he hurried to the northwest office, where Xiao Linzi stood in the snow, freezing and stomping his feet back and forth.

"General, Xiao Linzi has been waiting for half an hour, why did you come?"

"Stumbling and can't get out for a while."

"Then I'm going to call Sister Wanying?"

"Go quickly, everyone in the palace is having lunch at this time, there are few people on the road, and there are many people waiting for the meeting, so she is even more reluctant to come out."

Xiao Linzi nodded, and rushed into Rongshou Palace like a rabbit. There was no one to stop him, so he directly stepped in front of the door of Wanying's house, knocked on the door twice, and said to the door: "Sister Wanying, it's me, Xiaolinzi." ”

"You just sent flowers, what's the matter with this son?"

"General He is waiting for you at the gate of Rongshou Palace, you come out, he has something to say to you."

When Wanying heard that it was He Youan, she didn't even say a word, and irritably took a handful of lotus seeds and threw them directly into the brazier. Suddenly, there was a smell of burnt lotus seeds in the house.

"Sister Wanying, why don't you say something!"

"You tell him that I don't meet with such faceless people." Wanying was not only annoyed by He Youan, but also choked on the smell of smoke, and coughed a series after speaking.

"Good sister, are you catching a cold?"

"Whatever happens to you, just tell him, don't come to me again!"

Xiao Linzi was helpless, so he had to run out again with a sad face, and said to He Youan: "General, Sister Wanying may have a little cold, and it is cold today, I'm afraid I won't be able to come out." ”

Xiaolinzi is a big ghost, and he knows that Wanying's words are directly told to General He, and General He must be broken. Therefore, a reason has been made.

This reason is not to say that it is okay, as soon as he said it, He Youan was so anxious that he rushed to Rongshou Palace. Xiao Linzi behind him was so anxious that he suppressed his voice and shouted: "General, I can't help it, the concubine didn't summon you, it's inappropriate to go in." ”

"She's sick, what else can I care about when it's timely, it's out of place!"

"General, you wait for me!"

He You'an hurriedly stepped into the Rongshou Gate, and happened to meet Aunt Bitong head-on, and Xiao Linzi was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground.

"General He, the Ninth Master is eating at the Queen Mother's place at this time, not in Rongshou Palace." Aunt Bitong is so smart and icy, she knows that He Youan is here to find Wanying, so in order not to embarrass each other, she only found such an excuse.

"Auntie, I'm not looking for the Ninth Master today, I'm looking for ...... I'm looking for Wanying! ”

"Oh, Wanying is in the house over there, and she is poking the lotus heart of the concubine at this moment!" Aunt Bitong pointed in the direction of Wanying's room,

shouted at the inside: "Embroidered spring, safflower, treasure beads, Xiaocui, Bilian, all come out, accompany me to the Pavilion Department, and send New Year's goods today." ”

Several little palace maids opened the curtain in response, followed Aunt Bitong, and went straight out of Rongshou Palace and went in the direction of Mianshou Bridge.

He Youan knew that Aunt Bitong deliberately pointed out the location of Wanying's room to him, and he was very grateful in his heart. Seeing Aunt Bitong calling out several little palace maids in Rongshou Palace, I was even more grateful.

Aunt Bitong took her to Mianshou Bridge and went to the Pavilion Office, which took at least an hour to go back and forth.

He Youan walked quickly to Wanying's door, Wanying happened to be standing next to the curtain, probably waiting for her aunt to call herself, but she didn't expect that it was He Youan who opened the curtain and came in.

"You go out, who let you in?" Wan Ying was ashamed but frightened, and took a few steps back.

He You'an didn't step forward, nor did he retreat, as if he was frozen in place, and even his arms were motionless.

"You...... You go out quickly......" The tears in Wanying's eyes were almost about to fall.

Only then did He Youan realize that he was really abrupt yesterday, and he was very annoyed. Standing still, with his hands together, he made several gestures in a row.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I struck you yesterday!"

Wanying heard that Douda's tears fell down like a broken thread, and cried: "I don't want to see you, you go!" ”

He Youan couldn't see Wanying crying, and he was so anxious that the cat scratched his heart. Seeing Wanying's eyes crying like walnuts, I knew that I must have cried all night last night. Thinking of this, I was even more annoyed that I was reckless yesterday.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know why, every time I see you, I feel like I want to be a little frog with no head and no brains. Always abrupt you, I don't really want to offend you, I really like you. I'm going to the south, don't be mad at me, okay? ”

"You go, you go, I don't want to hear a word of what you say." Wanying covered her ears and closed her eyes.

He You'an was broken, but he had already picked it up by himself, and he stuck to it and said, "Wanying, don't be angry with me, okay?" ”

He Youan knew that his persuasion of Wanying at this time was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire, and he should find another way, thinking of this, he took out the family letter from his arms, and said gently: "I won't say it, I won't say it, don't look at me, okay?" ”

Wanying still covered her ears and closed her eyes, but He Youan knew that she could hear herself.

"Yesterday I went to the house, and the teacher asked me to bring a letter from home."

Wanying opened her eyes, lowered her hand, and asked vigilantly, "What are you doing at my house?" ”

"The army is about to start, and the documents on military affairs need to be signed by the master." Seeing that Wanying was no longer so defensive just now, He Youan took a few steps forward and handed the letter to Wanying.
