Chapter 64: Stabbing
“…… Little, little prince......" Yan Jian stammered, feeling that he must not have woken up yet.
Wei Ping had no impression of Yan Gou's person.
Wei Ping is fifteen years old and has not yet entered the court. His father, King Zhongshun, rarely invited officials to the palace as guests, and Yan Gou was dismissed before he could hug King Zhongshun's thigh. Therefore, Wei Ping didn't know who he was, and he didn't prevent his identity from being revealed like this.
Xianghua pretended not to know, and asked suspiciously: "Mr. Yan is confused, where is there any prince here?" ”
Yan Gou swallowed his saliva, buried his head and whispered, "The one behind you is!" ”
Xianghua also hurriedly knelt down, pretending to be panicked: "Say hello to the prince!" ”
A trace of displeasure slipped through Wei Ping's eyes, but it was fleeting.
He smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here to travel the mountains and rivers, and when I get here, I'm a guest. ”
Yan Gou thanked him and got up, and Xianghua also stood up like him.
Wei Ping asked, "Are you?" ”
Yan Gou was very ashamed to say that he had an unbearable past, and he did not dare to call himself a "criminal minister", and claimed that he was a grass citizen.
Wei Ping didn't mind very much, and when he heard that this villa was presided over by Yan Gou, he turned around and looked at it, with a bit of admiration and regret in his eyes, "It's a pity." ”
Yan Gou hung his head lower.
"Since Mr. Yan still has to give a lecture, let's talk about it later." Wei Ping laughed.
Yan Gou couldn't wait to bury his head in the ground: "Yes." ”
Since Xianghua knew that he was the little prince, she didn't dare to walk in front of him anymore, but only followed behind him, occasionally mentioning the way.
The three of them were silent all the way, and Xianghua was no longer lively and innocent before, which made Wei Ping feel very bored, and he couldn't help but be secretly annoyed by Yan Gou in his heart.
Xianghua whispered: "Little prince, there is a place to plant peppers in front." ”
Wei Ping took a look, but there was a fence around it, and there was no fruit in sight.
Xianghua explained: "It's early winter, and the peppers have been set for a few rounds, and all that's left are pepper branches. If the little prince wants to see it, come back next spring and summer? ”
Long Wu secretly laughed to himself: Although Wei Ping claims to have traveled in the mountains, he is actually a busy man, how can he have time to watch it again?
Wei Ping asked, "How did Fragrant Flower Girl find it?" ”
Xianghua heard Taro say that the Weiping family and Zhao Xu's family were not familiar with each other, so she said with confidence: "It was General Zhao Xiao who told me, and he also played this kind of thing for me." ”
Wei Ping saw that she had said it herself, so she said, "Miss Xianghua and General Zhao Xiao are familiar with each other?" ”
Xianghua waved her hand embarrassedly: "It's not familiar, but it was a small favor that time, and the little general values love and righteousness." ”
Wei Ping opened the folding fan and tried it lightly again: "You need a recommendation to buy a mountain, and this recommendation won't be given to you by the little general, right?" ”
"The little prince laughed." Xianghua said, "The recommendation letter is for the purpose of the little general I asked the little general to give the general Zhenguo, and the general Zhenguo is sympathetic, so our family got this opportunity." ”
was also involved with Zhao Wu, and this trip was very worthwhile.
When Wei Ping asked this, he no longer dwelled on the matter of chili peppers, but instead asked if there were other new things on this Xiaoqing Mountain.
Xianghua thought for a while and asked, "Has the little prince ever eaten chestnuts?" ”
Wei Ping smiled: "I've eaten chestnut cake." ”
Xianghua said: "There are many fruit trees on this mountain, there are peach and apricot trees in spring, plums and pomelos in summer, oranges and persimmons in autumn, and when you get here, there are only chestnuts and pine nuts left." ”
Long Wudao: "The chestnut thorns are more prickly, and the little prince still doesn't go." ”
Xianghua said helplessly: "It's okay to have pine nuts, but unfortunately we only picked them once a few days ago, so I'm afraid there is nothing else at this time." ”
Wei Ping thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go see the chestnuts." ”
Xianghua clapped her hands and said, "Okay, over there!" And he jumped and ran.
Wei Ping and Long Wu followed.
This chestnut tree is so big that it takes about two people to hug each other. By this time, there were not many leaves left, and the clumps of chestnut balls on the branches were very conspicuous.
Xianghua walked in front and reminded the two: "Beware of your feet, the chestnut balls are full of thorns, and they hurt strangely." ”
Wei Ping glanced at Long Wu.
Long Wu drew his sword out of its sheath. Hearing a dragon's groan, all the fallen leaves on the ground were blown away, and the chestnut balls underneath were exposed.
Xianghua was dumbfounded.
Wei Ping easily walked around the chestnut ball and walked under the tree.
Xianghua picked up a plump ball of chestnuts, smashed it open with a stone, and carefully peeled out the chestnuts inside.
"This is chestnuts, crisp and sweet, delicious!"
Wei Ping looked at the oily and smooth chestnuts, but he didn't know where to start.
Xianghua remembered that Taro was also at a loss when she first arrived at their house, so she smiled and bit it with her teeth, peeling off the hard shell and the thin inner membrane, revealing the tender yellow flesh inside.
"Eat like this." She took a bite.
Wei Ping took one, bit it like her, peeled off the shell, and took a bite.
Sure enough, it is fragrant and sweet.
Xianghua said: "These things on the ground are ripe, but they have been falling for a few days. If you want to eat fresh, you have to get the tree down. ”
Wei Ping also looked up at the towering canopy and asked curiously, "How do you get it?" ”
Xianghua pointed to the trunk of the tree and said, "I can't climb the tree with long enough hands and feet, so I use this." ”
She picked up a stone, threw it at the branch, and then turned her head and ran to the side with the guard.
Wei Ping was puzzled: "Why do you want to run?" Stones can't hit us. ”
Xianghua said while running: "If you can't hit the stone, the chestnut will hit it!" ”
Xianghua threw stones very accurately, and this time she went up, smashed the branches and shook them, and several big chestnut balls snapped and fell.
Xianghua shrunk her neck, covering her head with one hand and Wei Ping's with the other, and she couldn't wait until she put it down.
"The freshly dropped is sweeter, go taste it!"
Wei Ping hammered the letter open suspiciously, and sure enough, the taste was more beautiful, so he ate several more.
Xianghua picked up some chestnuts and placed them on a few large leaves. Later, I will bring some back to the family to eat, and then send some to my grandmother and Sister Cao'er.
Wei Ping got up, picked up a stone and threw it up, and Xianghua ran back to the side with him.
The chestnut balls snapped and fell a lot, and the two laughed happily.
Long Wu looked at the sword in his hand, thinking that he could get all the chestnuts down in a matter of moments with the lion's roar, but now, ......
Forget it, that's fine.
Yan Gou said: "Taro, tell me how to interpret this sentence." ”
Taro suddenly came back to his senses and stood up.
Yan Gou walked over with a calm face: "I know you are smart and have read books, but you can't slack off because of this." ”
Xiangmiao covered her mouth and laughed: "Sir, Brother Taro was distracted because my Sister Xianghua was not there." ”
Vanilla listened, smiled and whispered: "Xiangmiao, don't talk nonsense." ”
Yun Niang understood at one point, and said with a smile: "Xianghua will come back after taking the little prince for a walk, there is no place on this mountain that she is not familiar with, what are you worried about?" ”
Taro smiled slightly and sat back.
