The walnut tavern at noon was still full of people, Chu Nian took Mei Xiang and walked straight to the backyard from the front pavilion, Xiao Er just glanced at it and didn't stop it more. Compared with the noise in the front pavilion, the backyard is quiet like a paradise, Chu Nian took Mei Xiang to walk around the huge courtyard, only to see Tao Jinyan standing under a piece of winter snow and staring at the branches.

is obviously a man, but under the crystal clear snowflakes, even the skin on that handsome face is snow-white; In addition, Tao Jinyan seems to like white very much, in this ice and snow, he is wearing a plain white robe, gray cloak, the black hair of the shawl, and the soft eyebrows are all stained with a little white snowflake, a pair of peach blossom eyes squinted slightly to look at the branch above his head, his thin lips were tightly pursed into a straight line, the folding fan in his hand was held at his waist, and his body was straight and motionless, Chu Nian had no doubt that if they came a little later, there would be one more snowman with Tao Jinyan's vivid words.

Hearing the sound of snowflakes being crushed on the side, the beautiful snowman turned around, his originally cold expression was relieved for a moment, and he said with a smile: "Sanniang is here, why don't you inform your life in advance, I have prepared Zhu Yeqing in advance." ”

Chu Nian shook his head, "Compared to Zhu Yeqing, I prefer dragon buds now, next time you can prepare dragon buds for me." ”

Seeing that Chu Nian began to be poor again, Tao Jinyan's originally serious expression couldn't hold back anymore, only to see him roll his eyes and say, "I'm polite to you, you take it seriously, who prepared tea for you, it's good to drink it with cold white." ”

"No, no, no, in this cold weather, how can you give the guests a cold drink? No matter how bad it is, it has to be a good Longjing, isn't it that Mr. Jinyan can't even afford tea? ”

Tao Jinyan's face was stunned, and after a while, he shook his head and smiled: "You girl-you're here to anger me?" ”

Chu Nian walked to Tao Jinyan's side from a distance, and the cloak brushed away a piece of snow hanging on the branches of the low trees beside him, "Of course not, what about the children?" ”

Hearing this, Tao Jinyan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Didn't you say that the children were all given to me?" Why, do you still want to go back? ”

Chu Nian shook his head again and again, "Since the children are better off with you, why should I bring the children back?" It's just that I haven't seen them for a long time, I miss them a little, I want to go and see them, if it's been a long time, I'm afraid that the next time I see these children, they will cry again. ”

Seeing that what Chu Nian said seemed to be true, Tao Jinyan had no choice but to frown helplessly and said: "The children's training ground is in a ravine thousands of miles away, and it takes at least seven days to go back and forth. ”

The little er who was originally busy in the front hall appeared on Chu Nian's side at some point, he lowered his head, his body was motionless, and he was holding a tray in his hand, and on the tray was a pot of warm tea.

Tao Jinyan turned around, and seemed to use people as a table from time to time, only lightly picked up the teacup and poured it full, before handing the warm tea to Chu Nian's hand, "Here, Lord County, it's still bamboo leaf green, dragon buds are too difficult to find in this season." ”

Chu Nian smiled and was not polite to him, "I'm not in a hurry, I can still drink the dragon buds next time, you give me some time to prepare, and I will come to you in two days." ”

Seeing her posture, Tao Jinyan knew that she had to visit the children, so she had to nod helplessly.

Chu Nian returned to the Chu family, explained some things to Chu Yuanlang, and set off with Tao Jinyan the next day, now Kyoto is still calm, all the troubles are in the Shen family, and there is no relationship with the Chu family, Chu Yuanlang has been following Chu Nian's side for a long time, and his mind is bright, after so long, he has long understood everything about the world, and Chu Nian is naturally not worried.

Besides, there is Ming Xiu taking care of it.

This peach is worthy of the word "Jin" in his name, he is very careful, the organization he wants to establish is afraid that it will involve the privacy of some big people, therefore, this organization must not be exposed before it grows stronger.

In order to better protect the children, Tao Jinyan set up the children's training base in a ravine thousands of miles outside the capital, this ravine is surrounded by the towering Qingsong Mountain, the terrain of Qingsong Mountain is dangerous, ordinary people will not come here at all, but Tao Jinyan actually opened a small road at the foot of the mountain, and a carriage passed just right.

The carriage walked for three days to reach Qingsong Mountain, and when it was about to go around the foot of Qingsong Mountain, Tao Jinyan put away the folding fan in his hand and said: "Sanniang, don't be too surprised to see the children later, this year, they have grown up very fast." ”

Chu Nian raised her eyebrows, she has never paid much attention to the children, so she also feels guilty, but they are all half-grown children, even if they grow up, it is difficult to be taller than her, right?

Seeing her suspicious look, Tao Jinyan squinted his eyes and smiled lightly and put the warm tea on his side into his mouth, and then said meaningfully: "Don't worry, it's definitely a hundred times stronger than when the children were there." ”

After a while, the carriage stopped, and when Chu Nian was concentrating, he could still hear the sound of children not far away, Tao Jinyan turned the curtain, "The time is just right, just in time for them to practice, you can also follow the long experience." ”

Chu Nian frowned, and after Tao Jinyan got out of the carriage, she got out of the carriage with Mei Xiang's support, but as soon as she saw the scene in front of her, she was calm.

Where is this place to train children? It is said that the place where the military camp is practiced is also better than it.

I saw that this place was surrounded by a fence, and outside the fence were several thatched houses, and a fire was burning in the houses; The circle enclosed by the fence is not small, you can see the edge at a glance, but it is very vague, the easternmost is a rack with weapons, this shelf has all kinds of weapons, even a long sword, is in the cold winter air with a little cold light, obviously open, at this moment a few children are talking and laughing to take off the weapons from it, and in a blink of an eye ran to the side of another fenced open space.

There was a sound of weapons colliding in the clearing, as if it were a fight, and the first sound of clarity came from there.

Chu Nian frowned, turned his eyes to look at the other side, and saw that there were several tall wooden frames, suspended in the air under the wooden frames, and several children on them were jumping cautiously, afraid that they would fall to the point of cripplement.

Next to the wooden frame is the rock wall, there are a few sharp stones protruding from the rock wall, several children are climbing up from there, with Mei Xiang screaming, Chu Nian slightly sideways, he saw Shen Qianrong holding two stones larger than him is walking slowly towards the front, under his feet is the other end of several dotted lines separated by flour, and several other children are also holding stones the same size as the stones in Shen Qianrong's hands and walking slowly forward, they seem to be racing, some children are lagging behind, and they are sweating profusely.

Hearing Mei Xiang's scream, the children who were training suddenly turned their heads and saw Chu Nian standing beside Tao Jinyan, the children all put down the training in their hands and ran over in three steps and two jumps, Shen Qianrong also threw away the stone in his hand, wiped a handful of sweat and threw himself into Chu Nian's arms.

Feeling Shen Qianrong's strength, Chu Nian realized what Tao Jinyan meant by the growth of the children.

In just one year, not to mention that the children have grown taller, the originally white and tender little faces are also dyed with a bit of vicissitudes at the moment, especially Shen Qianrong, who threw himself into Chu Nian's arms with such force that he almost knocked Chu Nian down, or Chu Nian secretly used his own skills to stabilize his body, but he wanted to pick up Shen Qianrong, but he couldn't hold it.

"Sister! You finally came to see us, you don't know, we trained so hard, and we didn't think about you for a day, because we missed you, and the training was not so hard. ”

Shen Qianrong squinted a pair of beautiful big eyes and waited for Chu Nian's reward, Chu Nian did not disappoint the children, her eyes swept over Mei Xiang, Mei Xiang immediately understood, and took out more than a dozen sugar people from the package she carried, these days, Tao Jinyan In order to make the children's physical development faster, there are no snacks for the children to eat, in addition to meat or meat for three meals a day, the children have long been red mud.

Mei Xiang distributed the candy man to the children, and Chu Nian took out two candy men from Mei Xiang's hand and handed them to Shen Qianrong, "Rong'er, this is your reward for being obedient." ”

Shen Qianrong obediently took the candy man, and the mature little face that showed a little bit of inappropriate age was dyed with a little innocent smile, "Thank you, sister, sister is so good!" ”

Chu Nian looked at him with a smile, frowned as if he remembered it, and said, "My sister is actually here to make amends with you today." ”

Shen Qianrong's face suddenly looked puzzled, and he saw Chu Nian and continued: "Do you know that your father's sister, that is, your little aunt, she doesn't like her sister, so her sister found someone to beat her." ”

Chu Nian didn't plan to tell Shen Qianrong about the matter in detail, anyway, she just wanted Shen Qianrong to have an attitude today, if this child didn't want to see her father being hurt too badly by her, she would find another way, if Shen Qianrong wanted to......

At this time, Chu Nian unexpectedly noticed a trace of anger on Shen Qianrong's face, she frowned, and then heard Shen Qianrong say in a thick voice: "Why did my sister make amends?" The people of the Shen family are not good people, even if they all die, they deserve it! ”

Hearing this, even Tao Jinyan on the side was interested, you know, when he first came to the training ground, Shen Qianrong was still a kind child, and he was reluctant to even kill a small worm, it was only a year, why was this child so angry?

Tao Jinyan pricked up his ears, and heard Shen Qianrong continue: "The master who taught us poison told me that my mother's symptoms were not illness, but chronic medicine, and now I have also figured it out, the poison on my mother's body can only be caused by the closest people, my grandparents left early, and the only close person around my mother can only be Shen Dui, who once lived with him." ”

Seeing the hatred flickering in Shen Qianrong's eyes, Chu Nian frowned slightly, and turned his eyes to look at Tao Jinyan, "What have you taught the children?" ”

was named, Tao Jinyan suddenly pretended not to know anything and smiled harmlessly, "I just taught them things to protect themselves in case of danger, can you guarantee that you will go to the big man's house to listen to the news in the future, and you will not encounter poison or anything like that?" ”

Chu Nian frowned, reached out and touched Shen Qianrong's head, what Tao Jinyan said was not unreasonable, and Shen Qianrong's own analysis was not unreasonable.
