"Come on, come on, set the table, set the table." Yuan Zhen and Zeng Zhuangrong came out with a plate together, their faces were full of smiles and happiness, and the infected Nanfeng also felt less irritable, Yuan Zhen beckoned, "Children, go and help serve together, I and your Aunt Yun also made dumplings, go quickly." ”

"Father-in-law." "Father-in-law." Nanfeng Nannan got up and bowed to Yuan Zhen one after another, "Congratulations to my father-in-law on his triumphant return." ”

Yuan Zhen said with a smile: "Why is this little mouth like smeared with honey today, it's rare to say a good word, there are dumplings in the kitchen, go and bring them over, hurry up and eat." ”

"Huh." As soon as a few children heard that there were dumplings, they couldn't wait to rush to the kitchen, and when the meal was served, Yuan Zhen told them with a smile about the things at the border, and drank a few more glasses when they came and went, Ouyang Qian poured down two glasses of wine, handed one to Yuan Zhen, and held one with both hands, and said respectfully, "Father-in-law, the child wants to pay tribute to his father-in-law, please don't be surprised, the child is so happy, Zhu Guo has been eyeing my Yuan Kingdom, but with a father-in-law sitting in Yuanguo, even half of the land can't be given to him." When I was a child, I also wanted to be like my father-in-law, where no one dared to enter the land of the Yuan Kingdom with a pole and a pestle, and be a feared generalissimo. If the child is fortunate enough to do some trivial things for his father-in-law in the future, he will definitely do his best for his father-in-law and die. Ouyang Qian's eyes shone faintly, and such a loud promise made Yuan Zhen extremely moved.

Yuan Zhen didn't know what he was thinking, he followed him to the frontier when he was thirteen years old, to see how he fought the war, how he fought the enemy, how he led people, and how he pacified the people. How strong his desire to serve the country is, he has seen it clearly over the years, this kid, he can't hide any thoughts, everything is shown on his face, he is so eager to share the responsibility from his shoulders, he always feels that he is too hard to run around the court and the battlefield, so he always thinks about entering the barracks and pacifying the border war for himself. It's just that he is still reluctant, reluctant to bring up the milk doll with his own hands, so fast to live so hard as himself, running around to eat sand.

"Father-in-law knows what you're thinking, okay, let's eat first." Yuan Zhen did not agree to his self-recommendation, nor did he object, but gave a vague statement, which made Ouyang Qian a little depressed, and the hand holding the wine glass stiffened slightly.

Zeng Zhuangrong saw that he didn't sit down, so he secretly pulled him, and Ouyang Qian also sat down, but his face looked like he had been hit. Does my stepfather still think that I am not qualified to enter the barracks? I've been on the battlefield with him for five years, and I've seen no less than a dozen battles, big and small, but my father-in-law still thinks I'm incapable? I am already so old, I have eaten my father-in-law for so many years, and I want to repay my father-in-law for raising him, but my father-in-law still refuses......

Yuan Zhen saw that he was wilting like a frosted eggplant, and couldn't help frowning: "Father-in-law wants you to eat that sin later, are you still angry?" You want to take charge of the barracks now, and when you really take over, when you cry, you can't pick a son and tell me not to do it, otherwise I can break ten rattans with thick arms. ”

"It's the child who is not sensible, don't be angry with the father-in-law, the child just obeys the father-in-law's arrangement." Ouyang Qian bowed his head, and secretly complained in his heart that his father-in-law would come to this set, he knew that as long as he was angry, he would be fine, so every time there was a problem or conflict, he would throw his face at himself, and where would he dare to brush him against the scales.

Zeng Zhuangrong smiled and played a round game: "I know that our Qian'er is a good boy and knows how to share worries for my father-in-law." ”

"Is it possible not to talk about state affairs at home? I have no appetite for a good meal. Nanfeng couldn't help but wrinkle his eyebrows and said, Ouyang Qian turned around and coaxed, "Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it, hurry up and finish everything in your bowl, my father-in-law and Aunt Yun have worked so hard to do it, and it can't be wasted at all." ”

Ouyang Qian took a bite of the hot dumplings and breathed a long sigh of relief with satisfaction: "The dumplings made by my father-in-law and Aunt Yun are really the most delicious dumplings in the world, every time I am hungry, I think about this bite." ”

"Eat more, more." Yuan Zhen dialed a few more to the plate in front of him, Ouyang Qian nodded, and after a while, the plate of dumplings in front of him was all eaten, and then Yuan Zhen brought a new plate and put it in front of him, Ouyang Qian said with satisfaction, "It's delicious......

After eating two plates of dumplings, Yuan Zhen gave Ouyang Qian a bowl of rice, Ouyang Qian pursed the corners of his mouth, his eyes still looked at the plate full of dumplings, and muttered: "My father-in-law is too partial, he made so many dumplings, just give me those two plates, and even if you divide the rest equally, each person will eat twice as much as me......"

"I'll come over when I wait for Long Ting and Fang, and leave some for them."

"Huh? They're coming, huh? Ouyang Qian's eyes lit up, "Then why don't you let them come over at the meal?" When they arrived, the dumplings were cold. ”

"They do their homework at home, like a few of us in the family, who don't do their jobs all day long."

Ouyang Qian had no choice but to accept his fate, holding his bowl of rice unwillingly, but his eyes still glanced at the dumplings from time to time. Yuan Zhen couldn't help but laugh when he saw it: "Isn't it just a few plates of dumplings?" Are you concerned? ”

"Who makes you so busy with political affairs, how many times a year can you eat." Ouyang Qian complained in a low voice.

Zeng Zhuangrong gave him his dumplings with a smile, and said with a gentle smile: "Qian'er wants to eat next time, come to Wenhuayuan to find Aunt Yun, Aunt Yun is not busy, I will give you food." ”

"Oh, okay." Ouyang Qian smiled.

"Can you finish this bowl of rice?" Yuan Zhen glanced at his bowl, Ouyang Qian didn't even hit a hammer, and immediately continued, "Yes, of course you can." Seeing his father-in-law's slightly surprised expression, he smiled embarrassedly, "In front of my father-in-law, I don't dare to be picky anymore, I didn't even know who I was because of picky eating that year, who would dare to be so presumptuous......"

Xiao Qian'er didn't like to eat rice when he was a child, every time he made pasta at home, he could eat a lot, but as soon as he made rice, he began to make all kinds of excuses that he had no appetite, how could he only eat the same meal? That day, Yuan Zhen was in a bad mood because of the affairs of the DPRK and China, but when he was eating, he saw Ouyang Qian holding a pair of chopsticks and turning the rice in the bowl back and forth, and the rice in the bowl did not move much, and a fire came up at that time: "A quarter of an hour has passed, and the rice in your bowl has not moved, are you eating or gnawing stones?" ”

Xiao Qian'er put down her chopsticks when she heard this, and said with a milky voice: "I'm full." ”

Yuan Zhen glared at him: "Finish eating!" One grain of rice left is a slap in the face! I think I should starve you for three days and three nights, and see how picky you are! ”

Xiao Qian'er pouted aggrievedly by yelling, and saw water droplets in the blink of an eye, Yuan Zhen saw his aggrieved look, slapped the chopsticks on the table with a 'snap', dragged him to the house, let him lie on his knees, took off his pants, and slapped his ass violently: "Serve you with delicious food and drink, you are still reluctant!" Does the whole family have to accommodate you all the time? Don't be a picky eater in the future! After a while, the two buttocks were pumped red, and Xiao Qian'er's tears fell to the ground with the shaking of her body again and again, crying and sobbing.

The housekeeper Jiang Zhen heard the movement and persuaded at the door: "Don't fight, master, the young master doesn't want to eat rice, make him a bowl of noodles again, don't force him to eat." ”

"Everything has to be left to him? He has to finish his meal even if he is beaten today, and if he doesn't hit the house for three days, he will expose you! ”

Xiao Qian'er cried and convulsed, Yuan Zhen rudely lifted his pants to him, scraped the wound, and cried so much that his voice changed, Yuan Zhen directly carried his collar outside, and pointed to his small bowl with one hand: "Finish eating for me!" ”

Xiao Qian'er couldn't sit on the stool because of the pain in her buttocks, she took the small bowl and pulled the rice in her mouth, and the tears fell into the rice, and Yuan Zhen didn't eat it, just watched him cry and eat the bowl of rice, and then packed up and went back to the palace.

In fact, he still has government affairs to be busy at night, but thinking of the beating of him during the day, he felt uncomfortable, so he said to Feng Shi'an: "You go to Wen Huayuan and tell Concubine Wen that I will go back to the house at night and let her go to bed early." ”

Feng Shi'an nodded, and said suspiciously: "Didn't the emperor go back at noon?" Why do you have to ...... at night?"

"Go home and coax my son." Yuan Zhen said this and left, Feng Shi'an nodded thoughtfully, and went to Wen Huayuan to pass the word.

When I went home in the evening just in time for dinner, Xiao Qian'er was holding a small bowl to eat, and when she saw him coming back, she shuddered suddenly, Yuan Zhen chuckled and said, "What? Seeing the image of the stepfather and seeing the tiger? ”

"Father-in-law." Xiao Qian'er shouted, "Qian'er is eating." ”

"Well, it's pretty good." Yuan Zhen sat down, Jiang Zhen served him food, he saw that Xiao Qian'er had been standing, so he said to Jiang Zhen, "Find him a soft cushion to come over." Jiang Zhen nodded yes and turned around to look for it.

Xiao Qian'er finished eating the meal very obediently, and then showed the rice bowl to Yuan Zhen: "Father-in-law saw that Qian'er finished eating, father-in-law, I'm sorry, it was Qian'er who was wrong at noon, my father-in-law asked me to eat for my good, I will eat obediently in the future, don't be angry with me." ”

Yuan Zhen pinched his soft little face and said with a smile: "Okay." ”

-

After a few people finished eating, Han Jiang came from afar to take away all the things, Ouyang Qian went to cut two fruit bowls and came over, and several people chatted while eating fruits. I felt tired after chatting, but Long Ting and Fang Shi hadn't come yet, so Yuan Zhen hugged Zeng Zhuangrong to rest, and several people went back to their rooms to rest.

"Does it hurt?" When Zeng Zhuangrong was changing his clothes, he saw several new knife wounds and arrow wounds on his body superimposed on the old wounds, the flesh and skin that had been turned over were bloodshot, and the gentle fingertips stroked slightly, causing his skin to tremble, and he suppressed it forbearantly, and said in a trembling voice, "It's no big deal, it's okay to raise it for a while." ”

"I'll give you medicine."

The cold ointment was applied to the cracked flesh, and it was cool and cool, and the wound that was originally burning like a boiling oil scald was suddenly relieved a lot.
