Chapter 38: The Knife

Zhao Lu was guarding outside Dongyang Gate, and as soon as Xiaodong and their car came out, Zhao Lu saw it.

"How? Can I understand the lesson? Is there anyone who is struggling with you? ”

This stupid brother can't spend all day thinking about this, right? If it weren't for the fact that Jixian Hall and Jiyu Hall were too far away from each other, maybe he would have come over at noon to ask about this.

Xiao Dong smiled and said, "It's good." The master is very kind, and no one bullies me. ”

Zhao Lu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." He asked, "What did you learn today?" ”

Xiao Dong thought for a while: "I learned poetry and took piano lessons." ”

Although she didn't learn anything.

However, Zhao Lu was already very happy when he heard her say this: "You still learned the piano?" By the way, you don't have your own piano yet. Go back to the storeroom and look for it, I remember how many good pianos I have at home......"

Xiao Dong hurriedly stopped him: "I don't know how to play yet, and there is also a yaoqin in the piano room." By the way, what did my brother study today? ”

"We went to shoot arrows in the afternoon, and my accuracy was okay, but my arm strength was not enough, and Qin Lie shot the best."

"Really?"

Zhao Lu touched his head: "Well, nine times out of ten, I hit the bull's-eye, but Shen Jing didn't shoot as well as me." ”

The rain had stopped, and the curtains of the cars were halfway up, and through a veil, the street scene outside could be clearly seen. Zhao Lu leaned back: "I thought you would cry and cry and say that you don't like school, even the handkerchief and sugar are prepared......"

Coax her like a child?

Xiao Dong stretched out his hand: "Then give it to me." ”

"What?"

"Sugar."

Zhao Lu touched his sleeve, and sure enough, there was a prepared handkerchief, as well as a rose pine nut candy in the small purse, which made the purse bulge.

Xiao Dong touched a grain of sugar and stuffed it to Zhao Lu, and he also ate one, Zhao Lu took the sugar in his mouth, and a large lump suddenly bulged on his cheeks.

"By the way, what about Cousin Qin and the others?"

"They're still on business, and they'll be back later."

In the evening, King An really asked Xiaodong if he was not used to going to school, and whether the master was fierce. was so concerned by his father and brother, Xiaodong even felt that he didn't cry a few times about going to school, and he couldn't bear their care. I feel so calm and calm, as if I have failed their kindness.

"I'm going to Changchun Palace at noon," Xiao Dong looked at King An's expression and whispered, "The Queen Mother made me delicious dishes." ”

King An's expression couldn't tell whether he was happy or displeased, and only asked, "What have you eaten?" ”

"Tofu, and choy sum, the dishes made by the Queen Mother are delicious."

King An sighed, sat there with Xiaodong in his arms, and didn't speak for a while.

Xiao Dong didn't know what he was thinking.

I just instinctively feel that I should be thinking about the Empress Dowager Shengci, right?

"The Queen Mother also said that she wanted to give me the piano, but I didn't ask for it."

"Hmm."

King An gently stroked her hair, and Xiao Dong blinked his eyes, just hoping that King An would say something.

She felt that King An must have a lot of words hidden in his heart.

She turned her head, trying to see the look on King An's face clearly.

"Go and get the letter from the table."

Xiao Dong answered, climbed down from King An, and walked over to get the letter on his short legs.

There are words written on the letter cover, like an iron hook and silver, and the words are good words, but Xiao Dong doesn't know them.

King An didn't say anything more, someone came to pay attention, and the Hu family quickly came in and took Xiaodong out.

Hu Shi asked again what Zhao Lu and An Wang had asked, but she focused on asking Xiao Dong if he was cold, tired or not, whether he felt hungry during class, but he had to prepare soft cushions to save people from being uncomfortable after sitting for a long time.

They met Qin Lie at the gate of the back garden gate.

Xiao Dong felt strange, how did he get here?

When Qin Lie saw them coming, he showed a relieved expression, and handed over the small burden in his hand: "This is something brought by the Yao family, so I won't go in." ”

Hu Shi took it and said with a smile: "Brother Qin, come and sit with us." ”

Qin Lie shook his head and strode away.

Hu Shi looked at his back. If you want to talk about the two cousins who live in the mansion, the Hu family is naturally more quiet. Shen Jing is gentle and handsome, but also smart and talented, and always treats people kindly. Compared to him, Qin Lie looked much rougher and stiffer.

Although the burden is small, it is heavy, and the weight is really not light.

Xiao Dong was quite curious about what was inside.

Yao Jinfeng took the burden and untied it in two clicks.

At the top is a short knife.

Xiao Dong was taken aback. Yao Jinfeng was also stunned for a moment and picked up the knife.

The knife was small, about seven inches long with a handle, and its golden sheath was encrusted with many brilliant gems, which looked less like a sharp weapon than a luxurious ornament.

"Sister Yao, what is this?"

"Knife ...... When I came, my family didn't let me bring it. Unexpectedly, this time it was sent again. ”

Shen Qiang was really curious: "You ...... Can you use a knife? ”

Yao Jinfeng smiled proudly: "I have also killed wolves." ”

Kill...... Wolf?

Xiao Dong and Shen Qiang's expressions were surprisingly consistent, their mouths were half-open, and they could almost stuff an egg into them.

"Well, one winter there was a lot of snow, the wolves in the mountains were so hungry that they couldn't stand it, they came out to look for food, and in the middle of the night they heard the sheep in the sheepfold calling, I went out with my uncle, I killed the wolf with my uncle, and the wolf skin was given to my aunt, and I still kept the wolf's teeth." She flipped it down from her waist and poured something out of her purse: "This is it." ”

It was indeed a spiky beast tooth. Of course, Xiao Dong and Shen Qiang didn't know what wolf teeth looked like, but Yao Jinfeng's personality was straightforward and straightforward, so he shouldn't lie to them.

"Did you kill with this knife?"

"Of course not." Yao Jinfeng sat down and pulled the short knife out of its sheath. The cold light on the blade flashed, Xiao Dong subconsciously dodged back, Shen Qiang leaned over, blocked her a little, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, it's okay." ”

"Hmm."

Shen Qiang asked, "Why did you send you a knife at home?" ”

Yao Jinfeng shook his head: "I don't know either." This knife ......" She stopped halfway through her speech, put the knife away and pinned it to her waist, looked through the other things in the baggage, picked out the brocade belt and embroidered purse and gave it to Xiaodong Shen Qiang.

There was still a letter in the baggage, but before Xiao Dong could see it, Yao Jinfeng had already tied the burden again.

Soon Xiaodong found that there were still many places in school that made her uncomfortable.

For example, the open and secret battle between the three princesses.

This is normal, Xiao Dong understands it very well. It's not a mother's birth, how can it be a heart. The fourth princess looked gentle, and often played a round between the fifth princess and the sixth princess.

Xiao Dong's method is to pretend to be stupid, whether it is the sixth princess being close or the fifth princess showing goodwill, she will all smile, do not nod or shake her head, do not approve or object, anyway, she is young.

After a long time, others think that she has a good temper and a good personality, and she is very easy to get along with, and she is happy to be close to her.

A group of girls got together, and the topic was nothing more than that.

Clothes, jewelry, food, and then some long and short rights and wrongs.

Xiao Dong didn't bother to listen, and she didn't interject when they were talking.

As soon as Shen Qiang arrived at this time, she took out the embroidery work to do it, with her head down, but her ears were sharper than anyone else's. I have been working for several days, and I have only embroidered half of the leaves, sewn and dismantled and sewed, and the cloth has long been so bad that it is not in shape.
