Chapter 39: You're Better Looks Than Her

After returning from Qiantao Mountain, Xiao Yan talked to her mother about what she saw, heard and felt as usual.

She also folded a peach blossom and brought it to her mother, and said with a smile: "Mother, I cut a pound of peach blossoms for you." ”

Shang Qing gave the peach branch to Qi Niang and instructed: "Make a catty of peach blossom tip steamed cakes (wowotou) for Xiao Wunian for dinner." ”

Xiao Yan: "......"

For dinner, there were seven or eight bamboo cages on Xiao Yan's dining table, holding round peach blossom steamed cakes.

Shang Qing watched her dip her curd in five and said, "How?" ”

"Very good." Xiao Yan's heart twitched silently, she would never say that the dim sum made by outsiders was delicious in the future.

Qi Niang smiled silently, she could say that she deliberately saved a few steps when she did the sharp steaming, so the peach blossoms still have an astringent taste?

After dinner, come back from a walk and draw a picture of peach blossoms.

Xiao Yan focuses on outlining a tree and two peach blossoms in the peach grove with double shadows, one branch is in full bloom, and the other branch is budding to be released, and the petals are outlined with changeable thin lines and then dyed with multiple layers of white powder, pink or crimson, and nearly purple, showing the gorgeous and colorful scene when the peach opens, and the flowers and buds of one tree and two branches reveal a strong spring feeling.

Xiao Yan put down his pen and looked at it and felt very satisfied, turned his face to look at his mother, and said with a smile: "Mother, my peach blossom picture is what you want, right?" ”

Shang Qing was dressed in a wide shirt, his black hair was scattered behind his shoulders at will, and he sat next to the bookcase with a few leaning forwards, leaning forward and looking at it twice, and his slender white hand stretched out.

Xiao Yan handed the sheep to his mother and moved his body to the side.

Shang Qing hung his wrist and put down his pen, his posture was clear, his attitude was relaxed, and he sketched fresh people and things with just a few strokes.

Xiao Yan leaned over to take a look, and his face suddenly ......

Under the peach blossom branch, a young man stood with his face up, staring at a squirrel sitting on a peach branch with inky eyes...... A peach clasped together.

The young man's eyes were smart, revealing his longing for the peach.

"......" This is definitely not her!

Shang Qing smiled lightly and said, "This is Xiao Wunian, this is Huo Yilou." ”

Xiao Yan's face fell.

Then he laughed again, "Mother, why did you draw Huo Wuniang as a squirrel?" Also, aren't squirrels supposed to stay on pine trees? Don't you eat pine nuts and eat peaches instead? …… Hahaha! ”

Shang Qingdao said: "If you don't go to the peach tree, how can you hook up with a teenager." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Xiao Yan was speechless for a while, and said, "Then why don't you draw a fox?" She thinks Huo Yilou is more like a fox, glamorous and charming, and smart, not the cute squirrel.

Shang Qing glanced at her, "Because you're more like a squirrel." ”

"...... "Is this saying she's stupid!?"

Xiao Yan was deeply shocked.

Shang Qing called into Qi Niang and fingered the painting, "After framing, hang it in Xiao Wunian's room." ”

"......" Will she have to get used to seeing the scene of the boy and the squirrel "looking at each other affectionately" as soon as she opens her eyes?!

Qi Niang couldn't help but laugh in response, but she was puzzled in her heart: What is your honor going to do? It shouldn't just be to tease Xiaolang.

She shook her head secretly, Her Excellency's thoughts were too deep, Mo Guess!

Xiao Yan changed into his bedclothes after washing, and when he sat on the couch, he saw the blue-brown thorn resting on the couch.

She put Huo Yilou's name thorn in the box, thinking that maybe she would use it in the future.

Thinking that her mother did not forbid her to associate with Huo Yilou, she felt very happy, and sure enough, her mother trusted her the most - is she so easy to deceive?

Mother said that you should look at people with your heart, not with your eyes.

Her heart will tell her what people can associate.

But the fourth brother and sister are also genuinely concerned about her. Compared with Huo Yilou, of course, the fourth brother and sister are closer, Xiao Yan is not willing to disobey their concern, so he can only break the appointment with Huo Yilou. If there is fate, there will be a goodbye period in the future; If there is no fate, it is the scenery on the way of life, my mother said, the scenery on the road can be seen, but you can't stop your footsteps for the scenery that is destined to pass by on the wrong shoulder.

Xiao Yan smiled slightly, just follow the fate.

She closed her eyes and went into bedtime meditation.

The next morning, I returned to the days of diligent martial arts practice and study literature and pharmacy.

On April 15, Xiao Huaizhong also abused her in the same way.

This time she held up one more trick.

Pharmacy class the next day. At the door, a lacquered hibiscus flower box filled with rattan was handed in, saying that it was a gift from Xuanfeng Fang Biyuxuan Teahouse to Seventeen Langjun. Bai Su brought the gift into the West Pavilion of the inner courtyard where Xiao Yan was taking a medicine class, and there was a letter with the gift, which was written in regular letters: The Seventeenth Lang Jun Taiqi of the Liang Guogong Mansion.

Xiao Yan was surprised, "A gift from Biyuxuan? She thought of Huo Yilou at once.

Bai Su used a paper cutter to remove the lacquer and handed it to Xiao Yan. She pulled out a piece of incense note with hibiscus flowers from the letter, and caught her eyes in a few lines of frantic cursive:

For some reason, I am leaving, and I have a negative appointment, which is a pity! Parting with a box of new points, seventeen can taste it? The next time we meet, I can't answer that I will be punished.

β€”β€”The name is a "Huo" word for indulgence and frenzy.

Xiao Yanha laughed and handed the letterhead to Shen Qingyi, "It's Huo Wuniang." Even if he knew that Huo Yilou was the extremely famous Yu Xuanji, Xiao Yan still preferred the name Huo Yilou.

Shen Qingyi took the letterhead and glanced at it, and lowered his eyebrows slightly.

Xiao Yan happily opened the box, and there were sixteen pieces of tea in the sixteen grids, all kinds of natural colors, glowing with moist light, made into delicate and small shapes, which made people move their fingers at a glance.

Xiao Yan suddenly apologized in her heart, it was clear that she had made the appointment, but Huo Yilou still remembered her like this.

When Shen Qingyi saw her expression, he was immediately annoyed in his heart: This Yu Xuanji left as soon as she left, and she still used such scheming to cast a shadow in Ah Yan's heart, which was really annoying.

Bai Su took a saucer and a silver knife from the dining room.

Xiao Yan cleaned his hands, first took out a piece of deep red and moist, cut it open, and ate half of it, only to feel smooth and refreshing, the taste was mellow and sweet, and after tasting it, he nodded and said: "This is Jianzhou Chong'an rock tea." He inserted the other half with a silver stick, and handed the glass plate to the table in front of Shen Qingyi, "Sister taste." ”

Shen Qingyi glanced at her, "You use it for yourself." ”

Xiao Yan felt that Shen Qingyi was angry, thinking that he didn't want to see Huo Yilou, so he sighed and said: "Yu Xuanji's poems are good, my sister loves to read; Huo Wuniang's refreshments are good, my sister really doesn't want to taste them? As he spoke, he moved forward, reached out and picked up the silver stick, and handed it to Shen Qingyi's lips, his eyes were shining, as if to say, "Taste it."

Shen Qingyi was softened by her expectant little eyes, and stretched out her hand, "I'll come by myself." ”

Xiao Yan smiled: "I'll feed my sister." The right hand of the signature was handed forward, and the snack was close to her lips.

Shen Qingyi had never been fed so affectionately by anyone except for his mother, and he was a little embarrassed in his heart, but the look on his face couldn't be seen, and after a little hesitation, his pale pink lips opened lightly, and he took the half of the tea into his mouth.

"How?" Xiao Yan looked expectant.

Shen Qingyi picked up a white handkerchief and wiped his lips, and slowly spit out three words: "It's okay." ”

Xiao Yan laughed, "It's very good." Suddenly, I felt that Shen Qingyi's cold temperament was awkward, and her appearance was very cute.

Shen Qingyi was embarrassed by her, and glanced at her with slanted eyebrows, "People bought you for a few pieces of dim sum?" Suddenly, he smiled again, "If your fourth brother knows that Yu Xuanji has brought you refreshments, I am afraid that you will be confused by her beauty." ”

Xiao Yan was speechless, do you want her to tell Brother SΓΉ, I am your sister, you don't have to worry that the girl will hook me away? sighed, made a proud appearance and said, "Can I be fascinated by beauty?" She looks so good

Look, it's not as good as me. He looked at Shen Qingyi with a smile again, "It's not as good-looking as my sister." ”

Shen Qingyi's beauty is a pure beauty, clearer through the snow, and more beautiful through the frost. The beauty of Huo Yilou is the beauty of magnificent colors, and every smile is full of extreme charm. The two of them have their own merits, and in terms of exquisite facial features, Huo Yilou is even better. But in Xiao Yan's eyes, Shen Qingyi is even better.

Shen Qingyi couldn't help laughing when he heard her previous sentence, and when he heard her second sentence, the smile rippled from the bottom of his eyes, and he sneered at her: "Clever words." But the heart rejoiced.

"I mean really!" Xiao Yan said that in her heart, her mother is the first to look good, and her sister is the second.

Shen Qingyi's eyes flashed with pleasure, and when he ate the second piece of tea handed over by Xiao Yan, he felt "very good".

After the pharmacy class, Xiao Yan rushed away with a dim sum box, and she decided to take it back to share it with her mother, hoping that her mother would not give her peach blossom tip steamed cakes for the sake of her filial piety.

Shen Qingyi watched Xiao Yan's back disappear in the courtyard, and put the paper letterhead behind him on the table, and said lightly: "It's burned." ”

"Whoa." Qinghui lowered her eyebrows in response, and said in her heart: The young lady really doesn't want to see everyone.

In the evening, Xiao Cong came back from the party, and when he heard Shen Qingyi say that Yu Xuanji had left Hezhou, he immediately smiled and said, "Good go." "I don't think I will have anything to do with Ah Yan in the future.

At this time, Xiao Cong didn't expect a sentence: the world is unpredictable.

***

In May, the weather in Hexi is getting hotter.

On May 25, Xiao Yan was able to take over 55 moves from Xiao Huaizhong.

On June 25, Xiao Yan took 69 moves from Xiao Huaizhong.

She coughed up a mouthful of blood, her face was extremely pale, but her expression was flying. When healing, she said to Shen Qingyi: "There are still thirty-one moves." There are still three months left before September, and she will definitely be able to take over Xiao's hundred moves.

But the next day, in class, she heard her brother say that Datang had already fought with Tubo.

The fourth brother said that the Hexi Army, with the seventh aunt Xiao Yu as the commander, led the Jingnan Army and the Xiao Cavalry Army to send troops on June 21, with the Xiao Cavalry Army as the vanguard, to take the North Pass of Wulaken Mountain, and 18,000 troops rushed through the Ula Gorge, and defeated Kelsang Dama's 50,000 Qingtang Army at Yanshiping outside the South Mountain Pass, destroying more than 4,700 enemies. The Tubo Qing Tang army retreated to the south of the Matuo River, and the Tang army camped on the north bank, and the two sides temporarily confronted each other across the river.

Xiao Yan was impatient in his heart, with the advance speed of the Tang army, would the war be over in three months?

Xiao Cong said: "It's possible. "Combined with the comparison of the strength of the two armies made by the Governor's Mansion, coupled with the combat style of their seventh aunt and Cao Yuandu, a crazy and crazy horseman, this war should not last too long - of course, the most important thing is that Hexi has been preparing for this war for a long time, and now is the time to accumulate and develop.

Xiao Yan's mood fluctuated, and by the time of the martial arts class on the fifth day of the seventh month, not only did he not improve, but he regressed, and only survived sixty-five moves. Xiao Huaizhong's face was as cold as early spring, and he criticized her mercilessly, "Impetuous heart!" ”

Xiao Yan's face turned pale and lowered his head, "Be taught." ”

Xiao Huaizhong saw a large area of blood red gushing out of her abdomen, and her eyes as calm as spring water quickly flashed a trace of chagrin, he didn't expect Xiao Yan to avoid this knife - according to his estimated progress, it shouldn't be like this.

He hesitated to heal Xiao Yan's injuries, the young lady hadn't come over yet, there must have been something urgent, there would be only one maid outside the pavilion.

Xiao Yan took a few steps back and leaned on the pavilion pillar, she felt that she couldn't sit down, once she sat down, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get up, and she wouldn't be able to hold on to the quenching boxing.

Qingyu walked into the pavilion, and saw that the blood on Xiao Yan's body kept dripping, and her face changed, so she was calm, and she didn't exclaim, she poured out a pill from the porcelain bottle that the young lady gave her, held it with a white folding scarf, and handed it to Xiao Yan's lips.

Xiao Yan swallowed the pill in her hand.

Xiao Huai felt a little guilty in the center, so he went to pour the water cup and brought it to Xiao Yan's lips. Xiao Yan closed his eyes, and didn't pay attention to who it was, so he leaned over his lips with that hand to drink water and deliver medicine.

When Shen Qingyi came over with the red peony, he saw this scene from a distance, and his face suddenly froze.

She pursed her lips and walked steadily.

Xiao Huaizhong had already seen her, and he was relieved, the young lady came over and the injury of Seventeen Langjun was fine, reached out and handed the one-eared water cup to Qingyi, raised his hand to salute Shen Qingyi and left.

Shen Qingyi saw a pool of blood when she entered the pavilion, and there was already a pool of blood where Xiao Yan was standing, and her lips pursed again.

Xiao Yan stood upright and closed his eyes in a stump style, dissolving the medicinal power to practice qi Zhou Tian. Three days later, the internal injury healed by three points. She opened her eyes and smiled at Shen Qingyi, her face still pale.

Shen Qingyi's lips pursed tightly.

She gestured to Qinghui and exited the pavilion.

Xiao Yan pulled away from the boxing fight, and the knife wound in her abdomen tore apart again because of her movements, and the blood scab that had just condensed was torn apart again, and as her fist turned fast, blood lines splashed down.

Shen Qingyi's heart tugged.

As if she didn't know the pain, every punch was steady and every step was strong.

Persistence, tenacity, perseverance...... Every time Shen Qingyi watched it, she could feel her heart more deeply than the previous time.

The boy in the pavilion was only fourteen years old.

Shen Qingyi felt the pain in her heart, but she jumped with joy, as if she saw her own shadow through her.

The author has something to say: suddenly I really want to take a title called: The title of this chapter has been eaten (so I don't have to think about the title.)
