Chapter 32 Young Master Qiu asked me to bring you a message
Su Zihe, who was far away in the capital, didn't know that he was hated by someone, he was carrying a basket of fruits and walking out of the carriage at this time, patting the corners of his slightly wrinkled clothes, and standing at the door of King Ping's Mansion waiting for the report.
"Master Su, the old lady is in the back garden, let you go by yourself."
"There is labor."
Walking in the Pingwang Mansion, there were not many people coming and going, and when he saw Su Zihe, he was smiling and saluting respectfully, and he was also in a good mood to greet everyone.
Since I was a child, I often came to Pingwangfu to play, looking at the pavilions and courtyards that have not changed for 20 years, I always have a feeling of being a child.
Riding into the back garden, the richly dressed old lady was sitting on the edge of a small pool with a fishing rod, staring intently at the water.
"Azusa is here! Come and help me get the rod for a while, I haven't caught a fish for a long time, but I'm tired to death. ”
Su Zihe took two steps, handed the fruit basket to the maid standing next to him, rolled up his sleeves and took the fishing rod.
"It's cold, aunt should pay more attention to her body and don't get tired."
The old lady waved her hand, took a sip of the hot tea handed by the next person, and felt that her stiff body was warmer before she smiled and complained: "When people are old, they have to learn to entertain themselves, and it is not okay to stay in the house all day." The children are busy one by one, my old bones can't make trouble for you, if you go out to rely on the old and sell the old and wait for Yan'er to come back, you will talk about me again. ”
"Where, it's not our fault that we haven't been able to take the time to come to see you often. Qiu Yan also wrote a few days ago to tell me to go to the palace to see if there is anything I need after I am busy with the business at hand, and he will go home in a while so that I can bring it to you. ”
"Ah, do you remember that you have me?" The old lady blurted out in surprise.
Seeing this, Su Zihe couldn't cry or laugh. I'm afraid that only the old lady in this world dares to call Qiu Yan a "stinky boy", after all, with his status in the past few years, even the old men who have been in high positions in the court for decades have not had the courage to gasp in front of him, let alone be disrespectful to him.
"Zihe, are you trying to coax me?" The old lady was extremely well maintained, and her eyes were still clear when she was old, and she looked at Su Zihe suspiciously, and it was hard to believe his words.
"I've heard that kid has had bad luck lately, and he's been unlucky on the battlefield, so why is he going to be anxious at this time, right? Where does the leisure come from to miss his mother? ”
As soon as I heard this, I knew that Qiu Yan was definitely the old lady's own son, and she was not adulterated at all!
Su Zihe, who has always been serious and respectful, was also amused, and replied helplessly: "It seems that my aunt has a lot of resentment, and Brother Qiu Yan is afraid that he will not be able to escape the number when he comes back this time." ”
"I didn't bother to count him!" The old lady stood up and stretched, "That kid is in his twenties, he runs outside every day, and he doesn't know how soon to marry Shiyue and give me a big fat grandson." With me here, the child doesn't need to be brought by him, I really don't know where he got so many concerns. ”
Shiyue has liked him since he was a child, and everyone sees him. But that stinky boy just didn't open his mind, and every time he came back to mention it to him, he made excuses to excuse himself. What else do you say about treating Shiyue as her own sister, and she has no other thoughts at all.
"Zihe, you too, there are so many official ladies in the capital, and none of them can get into your eyes?"
"Auntie, don't worry about our marriage. Brother Qiu Yan knows in his heart, and I am not a casual person. If you marry someone else's girl, you have to take good care of it, but we can't spare time now, and we can't let a woman stay alone in the empty room after getting married, which is too irresponsible. ”
Su Zihe said, and the girl who lived with Qiu Yan in the small courtyard of the mountains and forests came to mind. She has a cheerful personality, speaks and acts eccentricly, how can such an aura woman be compared to the ladies in the capital who are disciplined by etiquette?
In Qiu Yan's eyes, the girl who can be taken by him will never be an ordinary man.
"Okay, okay, I can't talk about you!"
The old lady turned around and sat down at the stone table, knocked on her old arms and legs, and asked as if unintentionally, "When will Yan'er come back?" The capital has not been peaceful recently, and he has been gone for so long, and the Queen Mother is also a little anxious. ”
"The Queen Mother sent someone to find you?"
"Yes, she invited me into the palace yesterday to appreciate the chrysanthemums, and asked about Yan'er." The old lady sighed and said, "I don't understand the messy government and politics, it seems to say that where the disaster occurred, the grain production was reduced and many people starved to death." ”
"This matter should be handled by the household department, with the opening of the warehouse and the release of grain to help the victims, why did it go to the queen mother?"
"Stop! We don't know about disaster relief, and we don't dare to ask. In short, everything is still up to him when Yan'er comes back, and I don't want to worry about the affairs of the court at a young age. ”
The old lady looked up at the gradually cloudy weather, and beckoned Su Zihe to collect the fishing rod and go back to the house to rest.
"An autumn rain and a cold, at this time, there is a disaster, and the people's harvest for a year is gone, how to survive the winter."
Looking out the window, the old lady's eyes were full of worry. Su Zihe didn't feel good when he looked at it, and the only way at the moment was to report these things to Qiu Yan and listen to what he had to say.
Factional struggles are important, and the lives of ordinary people are even more important. Many people will die if they run out of food every day in the disaster area, and they cannot afford to wait.
"Master, my subordinates are incompetent."
Two mysterious men in black knelt down, their mission failed, and they were ready to be punished.
"It's just one Ye Shiyuan, you two can't kill it together, what else can you do?"
The gloomy voice echoed in the empty dungeon, and the man played with the dark flames in his palm, and slowly spoke: "In this way, for the sake of the two of you who have followed me for many years without merit and hard work, give me a reason not to kill you, maybe it will be useful to me, and you two will be able to escape this catastrophe." ”
The mysterious man's eyes trembled, and three words came out of his mouth: "Autumn Prince".
The firelight dimmed, and the man's eyes became more and more fierce: "What did you say?" ”
"Ye Shiyuan was originally stabbed in the chest by me and was dying, but he never expected to be saved by Qiu Gongzi, who was hiding there. We lost against him twice and had to withdraw. ”
"Master, Young Master Qiu also asked us to bring you a message, saying that he wanted Lu Zhaoyan's head, and if we reach out to Budong Town again, he will come to you in person."
He had known each other for many years, and he could even imagine the look on the man's face when he said this.
"What else?"
"It's gone. He recently rectified Lu Zhaoyan in Budong Town, and with him taking action in person, the old man may not last long and will fall. ”
The man's hands clenched into fists, and the dark flames were extinguished in the palms of his hands.
"Although that town is small, it is the territory of the East Immortals. Old man Lu has been rampant in that place for many years, making people angry, and if Qiu Gongzi really wants to do it, Bu Dongxian will inevitably sit back and watch a good show. ”
"But what I'm curious about is where this woman has disappeared for more than fifty years? She was born in Budongshan, but she is the imperial guard of Budongzhen, and she should not sit idly by and ignore Lu Zhaoyan's past behavior, but wait for Qiu Gongzi to eliminate it on her behalf. ”
The man couldn't figure it out.
He faintly felt in his heart that the woman who was not Dongxian might be a love brain, and after the first battle in the mountains, he flew away with the stalker suitor back then, leaving behind the mess in Budong Town, and was just picked up by Lu Zhaoyan.
"Master, what should we do next? Do you want to send someone to continue chasing and killing Ye Shiyuan? ”
"Absolutely! But it can't be you. ”
The man stood up, fingers raised. A woman in purple instantly appeared in front of the two mysterious people, and her graceful figure looked quite amorous.
"Zi Fu, bring Ye Shiyuan's head to see me within three months."
"Yes, master."
The charming voice poured into his ears, and the mysterious people were in a trance. Secretly biting the tip of his tongue to keep himself awake, he couldn't help but marvel at the rapid progress of this woman's skills.
"As for the two of you......" The man's gaze turned behind the woman in purple and said lightly, "Zixu, haven't you always coveted the two of them's doppelganger technique?" When the deed is done, these two people are at your disposal. ”
A fine light flashed in the purple-clothed woman's eyes, and she immediately saluted respectfully: "Thank you master, my subordinates will definitely do their best to serve the master." ”
The two mysterious men did not dare to make a sound, their heads bowed, their eyes narrowed slightly......
No one urged her to eat breakfast, so Wen Tiantian shrank in the quilt and slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up.
"Spring sleepy, autumn and summer nap, I can't figure it out, why do I want to get up myself? I have to eat my own food, which is really troublesome! ”
Rubbing the messy chicken nest head, he casually wrapped a thick coat and walked to the kitchen in a daze.
Before leaving, Qiu Yan made a lot of food into semi-finished products, which can be eaten by simply heating them. But even so, she was still too lazy to toss, she boiled a pot of water in a small medicine stove every day, poured all the meatballs into it and made a big mess, and sprinkled a little oil, salt, and chili powder to deal with a meal.
"It's not easy for you girl to grow so big, make do with it every day, Qiu Yan's kind of man can really blind him if he can look at you!"
"If you talk well, you will be scolded by you when people are not at home, it's not too much!"
Boiling a small pot of water on the stove, Wen Tiantian, who couldn't open her eyes, yawned again, tears rippled.
The dead ghost rolled his eyes after hearing this: "Am I scolding him?" I'm scolding you! It's too lazy to do anything, so beware that Qiu Yan will leave you to fend for yourself in this wilderness if she doesn't return. ”
"By then, you'll be crying!"
Wen Tiantian changed her hand and continued to lazily hold her chin, not caring and said: "You know how to count me every day, and you are not a Dongxian!" If you asked you to find a rescuer, you called me a bun, and it is also thanks to Qiu Yan's ability, otherwise we were both killed by you, and we are embarrassed to talk nonsense here? ”
"Let me move the rescuers, where can I find you? Stay at home all day and don't go out, you can know a ghost! Who will help you? ”
"Yes, yes, I know a ghost, or an unreliable ghost!"
muttered and complained, and Wen Tiantian's sleepiness also dissipated. casually cooked some green vegetables and meatballs, sat on the bamboo chair at the door with a rice bowl, and the buns lay at their feet and gnawed on the pork bones, one person and one fox just ate lunch and looked at the sky.
Dark clouds were gradually enveloping, and it seemed that it was about to rain outside. Wen Tiantian pondered that the silver brought by Qiu Yan should be enough to buy an umbrella, and it would not get wet.
"Dead ghost, while it's not raining, I'll go around the grove, and you take the buns to watch the house!"
"Why are you out and about letting me watch the house? Hey, Wen Tiantian, are you running so fast, come back! ”
Rushing into the grove, Wen Tiantian trotted to find the slate that she forgot to bring home yesterday.
"Ah, so you're here!"
picked up the slate and held it in her arms, and before she could go back, a little rain had fallen from the sky.
"It's over, it's raining!"
Running back against the light rain, fortunately close to home, she had already seen the door of her small courtyard from a distance before the rain fell.
Pushing the door into the house, as soon as my left foot stepped in, the rain suddenly became heavier outside, and I almost got wet on my heel.
"Whew, it's dangerous, it's dangerous."
Patting the frightened heart, Wen Tiantian took down the small pot on the medicine stove, washed the slate and roasted it on the fire.
"What's the situation, the girl is stupid? Can you eat roasted stones? ”
"Phew, you're just eating roasted stones!" Wen Tiantian said unceremoniously, "Have you heard of teppanyaki?" What I'm going to do is slate burning, tsk, fragrant! ”
The dead ghost snorted and said disdainfully: "No need to ask, it's a new thing made for your family Qiuyan again, right?" ”
"It's good that you know, are you hungry?"
"Not greedy."
"Oh, duplicitous fellow!"
Too lazy to bother with him, Wen Tian sweetly brushed the hot slate with oil, and then put the slices of meat that had been marinated for a day and a night on it.
Zila!
The fragrance is instantly emanating and appetizing.
It was raining outside, and the aroma of barbecue was filling the room, Wen Tiantian hummed a little song, shook her head and made food for herself, thinking that Qiu Yan must not have seen it, and when she came back, she would make it for him to taste.
