The lights in the study were lit one by one, Xiao Yan seemed to have some kind of persistence, and it was not until all the lights in the study were lit that he put out the fire and turned his head to look at Lu Jia.

Lu Jia looked at him with big eyes.

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows, "What?" ”

Lu Jia pushed forward the cup of hot tea that had just arrived, "Feeling bad?" ”

Xiao Yan walked forward leisurely, took the cup of tea that Lu Jia gave him, sent it to the tip of his nose and smelled it, looked at Lu Jia through the thick smell of tea, and was silent for a moment, "Hmm." ”

Lu Jia was a little surprised.

She thought that Xiao Yan would ask rhetorical questions, or she would divert the topic and go straight to the point.

I didn't expect him to hum.

"I ...... I have a younger sister. Xiao Yan looked at Lu Jia, looking at her eyelashes that were burned off by herself, her heart twitched and hurt, she couldn't bear it, Xiao Yan closed her gaze, turned her head and sat on the chair next to her, and took a sip of hot tea, as if she wanted to suppress her emotions and as if she wanted to relieve the chill on her body at this time, "When my sister was born, she was not the same as a normal person. ”

Lu Jia felt that when he opened his mouth to speak, there seemed to be something in his throat, and he said it was extremely difficult.

That kind of taste, Lu Jia has experienced it.

In the months after the annihilation of the Pingwei army, she spoke like this, with something blocked in her throat, unable to speak, and speaking with difficulty when she had to.

Xiao Yan leaned back in the chair, his head resting on the back of the chair, his eyes closed, and his face was tired.

"My sister she, one body, two heads, was thrown away by the Rong'an Hou Mansion when she was born, it was a traveling doctor who passed by, picked her up, and opened a knife for her with the principle of a dead horse being a live horse doctor, my sister has a big life and lives.

But the traveling doctor did not continue to raise her, and sent her to Jizendo in Kyoto. ”

Xiao Yan's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair.

"However, when Concubine Ning found out, Concubine Ning sent someone to Jishantang to steal my sister, she raised my sister in a village in the countryside, raised her for a few months, and suddenly sent someone to send her to the border of Qianzhou."

Lu Jia was originally listening to the story, but suddenly his heart trembled, his eyes widened suddenly, and even his breathing was tight, unconsciously, he raised his hand and touched his neck.

Xiao Yan opened his eyes and looked at him, his eyes were full of bloodshots, but his eyes were also full of her.

"Concubine Ning's people put my sister on the side of the road until a soldier came and took her away."

Lu Jia's pupils trembled, the hand on the table tightened, her nails stinged her palm, her breathing was rapid and unsteady, "She ......"

"She was adopted by the old general Pingwei, stayed by her side, and has been brought up, and her swaddling clothes are embroidered with a Jia character, which was picked up by the roadside, and was named Lu Jia."

Rumble!

Lu Jia only felt that the blood all over his body was burning.

She was dizzy and dizzy.

"I, I ......" Lu Jia has always been resolute, but at this moment, she couldn't say a word.

Xiao Yan said: "Concubine Ning sent people to the old general, saying that this child was her child, but when she was born, she was told that the date was unknown, and she couldn't be kept in the palace, so she asked the old general to help take it."

The old general loves that little daughter so much, he doesn't need any reason she gives at all, as long as she needs it, she doesn't even need to give a reason, the old general will definitely take it well.

The old general took the child as if he were his own granddaughter, until the child was ten years old, when a man came to the barracks, a man with a cat and a boy. ”

Lu Jia blinked.

The man with the black cat is the scarface!

With a boy...... That boy was Xiao Yan.

It was the time when she and Chun Bao made mutton soup in the middle of the night that year.

Xiao Yan looked at Lu Jia with a gentle smile in his eyes that he couldn't even notice, "The man with the cat told the old general that this child is not Ning Concubine's, he picked it up, it belongs to the Rong'an Hou Mansion, and Ning Concubine raised it here for emergencies."

The old general said: He knows. ”

Lu Jia bit his lips, wanting to bite his tears and not fall.

Whether the old general is good to her or not, and which kind of good to her, she herself knows clearly.

"Concubine Ning knows that I am the emperor's child, so she kept me and wants to use me as some kind of bargaining chip in the future?" Lu Jia spoke, his voice hoarse.

Xiao Yan nodded.

"Then your mother......" In fact, it is not appropriate to say your mother now, not surprisingly, she and Xiao Yan are brother and sister, but Lu Jia was difficult to change his words for a while.

Xiao Yan didn't mind.

"She is the real youngest daughter of the old general." Xiao Yan said: "So, you are actually the granddaughter of the old general, but Ning Concubine herself doesn't know that the old general's love for you is not wrong." ”

Lu Jia smiled, tears fell silently, "The general cherishes talents, as long as it is a seedling, he hurts, he also hurts Chunbao, Xiaomao, and Erniu......"

Xiao Yan moved the corners of his mouth, "I ......" He is not a person who is good at expressing emotions, he was full of emotions at this time, but he didn't know what to say, and he paused before saying, "What do you want to do?" ”

Lu Jia tugged at the corners of his mouth, not wiping the tears that were winding all over his face.

"I'm going to attack the Zhenguo Mansion, just tomorrow, Liang Xiao will help me." Lu Jia confessed that she had hidden it from Xiao Yan before, but now she ...... She couldn't be honest with each other, just said part of the arrangement, and then said: "I want to be promoted in the household department, do you have a way?" ”

Lu Jia didn't say how she was going to deal with the Zhenguo Mansion.

Xiao Yan didn't ask like before, he looked at Lu Jia, "Although, although my sister and I have never met until now, I care about her very much in my heart, and I am willing to do everything she wants for her." ”

Xiao Yan got up slowly, "Household promotion, which position do you want?" ”

Lu Jia didn't say much, just said, "The kind that can enter the palace to thank the saint." ”

Xiao Yan nodded, "Okay, I see." ”

"I actually have an arrangement." Lu Jiadao.

Xiao Yan smiled, "Gao Zhun is suspicious and cowardly, if he goes to the battlefield, he belongs to the kind that will escape from the battle, besides, I also want to do something." ”

"Thank you." Lu Jia looked at Xiao Yan and looked at his bloodshot eyes.

Xiao Yan smiled, didn't speak, and turned his head to go out.

After just taking two steps, he suddenly turned around and strode straight towards Lu Jia.

Lu Jia was stunned, "What's ......?"

Xiao Yan landed a big hand on the top of Lu Jia's head, rubbed it very lightly, and tears welled up in his eyes, "Before you were born, I gave you a name, called Yiyi, although I have never had the opportunity to call it, I ......"

Lu Jia licked the tears on the corners of his mouth, salty and hot, and looked up at him, "Brother." ”

Xiao Yan frowned and looked at her.

Let's go.

Tears fell on the table.

Xiao Yan's hand moved from the top of Lu Jia's head to her face, pinched his rough fingertips very lightly, and turned to leave.
