11 Eating tea and gossiping and talking about strange things
"This ......" Yang Xiankang hesitated, glanced at his brother, and rubbed his hands again.
At this time, Yang Xianrong noticed that the second brother's hands were all black mud, and the cracks between his fingernails were all black.
"What's going on?" Yang Xianrong wanted to pull his hand, but Yang Xiankang immediately hid back, "Hey, don't touch it, it stinks." If I hadn't been in a hurry to see you in the palace, I would have to wash up first. ”
"What happened?" Yang Xianrong saw that even the hem of Yang Xianyong's robe was dirty, and it looked like mud.
At this time, Cui Xi had just brought in some hot food, and Yang Xianrong called her to bring in some warm water so that they could wash it.
"Actually, it's nothing. The third sister doesn't dislike it, I just want to eat something, I'm really hungry. Yang Xiankang's eyes lit up a lot when he saw the food that Cuixi brought over, and he wanted to help Cuixi go to the food support.
Cui Xi smiled and dodged him, asking Green Bamboo to help her set the table.
Lu Zhu happened to stand in front of Zhang Fang, and bowed slightly, signaling that he could stand outside. She is extremely polite and thoughtful, if Zhang Fang doesn't move, she can't say anything.
But in this way, Zhang Fang was instead squeezed outside, and now the three brothers and sisters of the Yang family are sitting around the table, ready to eat.
However, at this moment, Zhang Fang's mind was just thinking about what Yang Xiankang had just said, so he suppressed a little unhappiness, and watched Cuixi and Luzhu arrange the dishes, put chopsticks and chopsticks, and wait for the two brothers of the Yang family to wash their hands and rinse their mouths, and then began to eat.
Yang Xianrong glanced at Zhang Fang again, intentionally or unintentionally, before he said in surprise: "General Zhang, why are you standing so far?" Let's have something to eat. ”
"Not in order." At this time, Zhang Fang knew the rules very well, and he still stood still.
Yang Xianrong laughed again, extremely bright, and there was a happy meaning in his eyes. "General Zhang is not strange, because he hasn't seen his brother for a long time, he is too happy. You can also come and sit down and have a casual meal, even if it's a hot cup of tea. ”
Seeing that Yang Xianrong was invited like this, Zhang Fang no longer insisted. In fact, he had thought about it for a long time, but he suddenly saw the two men of the Yang family and paused.
Seeing that Zhang Fang was also seated, Yang Xianrong's smile deepened. Only then did he turn to Yang Xianyong and ask, "When did you arrive?" How are you doing at home? ”
"I just arrived in the morning, and it still alarmed General Zhang to open the gate at the city gate." Yang Xianrong had a smile on his face, and he didn't look dissatisfied at all.
Zhang Fang had no choice but to smile with him.
"What? The gates are closed? Yang Xianrong looked surprised.
"Ahem, there has been a curfew in Luoyang these days." Zhang Fang coughed lightly.
Yang Xianrong didn't continue to ask, just looked at Yang Xianyong, "The eldest brother and the second brother have lost a lot of weight, let's eat more." ”
"Well, eat." Yang Xiankang stretched out his hand to get a cake again, Cui Xi hurriedly brought a plate and went over to help him, because the cake was a little hot, and it almost fell on the table. Yang Xiankang smiled and thanked Cui Xi, and then stuffed it into his mouth regardless of it, very satisfied.
"Everything at home is arranged, anyway, it's all farming in the countryside, and there are no big things. My mother said that she had to sew more cotton clothes for the family, so she didn't come with us. Li'er is very good, and she seems to be normal, but she speaks slowly and reacts slowly. Yang Xianyong quickly told the family about it.
"Yes, yes, Li'er has grown a lot taller, but she is not as good-looking as the third sister, and the third sister is the best-looking." Yang Xiankang said with a smile, "Why have you lost weight recently?" Eat small dried fish to make up for it. ”
"Second brother......" Yang Xianrong's coquettish appearance made Zhang Fang's legs tremble. Okay, General Zhang is here. What did you just say? What is very similar? ”
Yang Xianrong asked for Zhang Fang, and Zhang Fang's attention shifted to Yang Xiankang.
Yang Xiankang glanced at Zhang Fang and felt that it was inappropriate, but he still looked at it again, and glanced at his eldest brother Yang Xianyong again before he said, "It's very similar, right?" ”
After receiving Yang Xianyong's nod in response, he arched his hand to Zhang Fang before saying, "Ask the general for forgiveness first, because it may be disrespectful." ”
"Oh? It's okay, you say. Zhang Fang took a posture and behaved very generously.
"Half a month ago, when the two of us came out of Tai'an County and passed through the White Dragon Temple in Qufu, the roof of the main hall was crushed by a sudden heavy snowfall. When those monks went to repair, the two of us also went to help......" Yang Xiankang didn't get to the point, Yang Xianyong still took the words and said: "Qufu Bailong Temple is the place where Confucius sage studied, and this place was crushed, of course everyone wants to help." But we found a square stele under the beams of the main hall, with nothing on the front but another stone portrait carved on the back...... It is almost the same as General Zhang's appearance. ”
"What?" Yang Xianrong was very surprised, "How come?" ”
Yang Xiankang glanced at Zhang Fang again and said, "General Zhang's nose is slightly wider, and the tip of his nose is prominent, which is the same as in that portrait." I hadn't met General Zhang before, so when I saw him at the city gate this morning, I immediately remembered the portrait on the stele. ”
"That's a surprise." Zhang Fang didn't know what to say, but just coped with it.
But Yang Xiankang immediately said, "Strange things are still to come, that's really strange." He pointed to the black mud on the hem of Yang Xianyong's robe and said, "You know that after the two brothers entered the city just now, they first went to the Northern Military Mansion. Originally, I wanted to report and see what arrangements Lord Mao had for the two of us, but before I could say anything, someone came to tell me that the Xiangxiang Pavilion had been washed away by drift ice, and asked Master Mao to hurry up and take a look. ”
Hearing the Xiangxiang Pavilion, Yang Xianrong's eyes widened. "What's wrong? Do I still have to buy her eyebrow pencil? ”
This delicate voice provoked Zhang Fang to turn his head to look at Yang Xianrong, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, her eyebrow pencil is gone, I'll find you something else." ”
"Hey, that's different." Yang Xianrong pouted, turned her head to look at Cui Xi, and asked her to pour herself a cup of hot tea, because she felt a little cold. Cui Xi hurriedly poured the tea, and asked intimately: "Do you want to bring a hot woman over to warm your hands?" ”
"No need." Yang Xianrong's eyes were big and bright, but his little face was very pale, and Zhang Fang felt pity when he saw it.
"Third sister, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble General Zhang to help you find other eyebrow pencils, because half of the Xiangxiang Pavilion has collapsed, and we just went to help grab some things. As a result, an old turtle was found in Luoshui. Yang Xiankang glanced at Zhang Fang, and his expression became very strange again.
