"Little junior brother!"

A gentle voice came, and Ji Daqiang, who was squatting under the tree in a daze, had a bright eye, turned around and jumped up, and said in surprise: "Senior brother, you are here!"

Song Lanyu took a few steps forward, looked at the overjoyed junior brother, and asked softly, "What's the matter?"

Ji Daqiang held the arm of the senior brother and said with a smile: "It's good here, but there is no senior brother, Daqiang is alone, it's very boring." ”

Song Lanyu put her arm around Ji Daqiang's shoulders and said, "Let's go, let's go and sit under the tree over there." ”

Under the weeping willow tree, there were two large stones, on which the two brothers sat cross-legged.

Ji Daqiang shook his legs and said: "Senior brother, when you are not on the mountain, Da Wall is also very lonely, but Da Wall knows that you are just going out to run errands, and you will come back eventually.......

Speaking of this, he glanced at Song Lanyu, Song Lanyu nodded with a smile and said, "I already know your identity, it was Uncle Wei who told me." ”

Ji Daqiang grinned and continued: "Senior brother, don't blame me for hiding it from you, I also only knew my identity, I used to think that I was a lonely poor child." ”

Song Lanyu shook her head lightly and said, "In my eyes, you will always be my little junior brother, a little junior brother who needs the protection of my senior brother." ”

Ji Daqiang shook his body happily and said: "Senior brother is the best, senior brother, I didn't see you when I went down the mountain with my grandfather this time, Daqiang felt uncomfortable, if it wasn't for Mr. Lu to say, if the man has tears and doesn't flick, I will definitely cry." ”

Song Lanyu looked at the little junior brother who was still a little childish, smiled knowingly, he looked into the distance and said in harmony: "Little junior brother, there are always some partings in this life that we must face, you grow up, there are more things to face, even if you have a senior brother to protect you, and Uncle Wei to shelter you from the wind and rain, after all, it is not as strong as your own, and your strength requires you to have a strong heart." ”

Ji Daqiang nodded and said, "Senior brother, I understand, my grandfather also told me that Daqiang is not afraid!"

Song Lanyu smiled, it's okay like a big wall, the soldiers will block, the water will cover it, and what to do if you want to do so much will increase your troubles by three thousand.

At this time, Ji Daqiang jumped up, squatted on the stone and looked at Song Lanyu and said: "Senior brother, no, no, you call my grandfather uncle, isn't that generation chaotic? If you want to arrange it like this, wouldn't I have to call my grandfather uncle?"

Song Lanyu looked at Ji Daqiang with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you dare to call it in front of General Wei, how about Senior Brother calling you Senior Brother in the future?"

Ji Daqiang glared at Song Lanyu and said, "Cut~ Senior brother, are you stupid to me, I don't deserve this senior brother, I'd better be your little junior brother obediently." ”

Song Lanyu smiled.

Ji Daqiang scratched his head and said curiously: "Senior brother, how is this generation arranged, why do you call my grandfather uncle?"

Song Lanyu was surprised: "Didn't General Wei tell you about his relationship with Penglai Pavilion?"

Ji Daqiang thought for a while and said: "Grandpa said that he seems to have also learned martial arts in our Penglai Pavilion, but I don't know who he studied from." ”

Song Lanyu nodded and said: "No wonder you don't know, General Wei's master is Uncle Lao Guanglu, before you went up the mountain, Uncle Lao was taken to the house by General Wei to make offerings, it's normal that you don't know." ”

"Old bachelor, Uncle Shi, this name is really bigger than my Ji wall. ”

Song Lanyu snorted Ji Da Wall lightly and said: "Da Wall, don't be so unreasonable, even if you are the prince of King Lu, you must not be so unscrupulous in your speech and demeanor." ”

Ji Da Wall stuck out his tongue and said, "Da Wall knows!"

Then he folded his fingers and calculated: "My grandfather's master, then I'm not younger, how should I be called appropriate?"

Song Lanyu said with a smile: "Don't forget it, you just need to call your uncle and ancestor according to your seniority, just like me, as for General Wei, I will also be commensurate with my official position in the future." ”

Ji Daqiang was puzzled: "Senior brother, why is this? You don't have to pay attention to the relationship on my side, let's call each other, or Uncle Shi is cordial!"

Song Lanyu shook her head with a smile, jumped off the stone, and saluted Ji Daqiang, who was still squatting on it, and said, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Seeing this, Ji Daqiang laughed and said, "Senior brother, don't say it, your salute is quite similar." ”

Song Lanyu straightened up, took out the waist card from his waist, handed it to Ji Daqiang and said, "Little junior brother, in order to facilitate senior brother to accompany you, General Wei gave senior brother an identity, and he is currently the deputy commander of the general's guard. ”

Ji Daqiang grabbed the cloth bag and jumped down from the stone, took the waist card and looked at it, "Senior brother, do you want to be an official?"

Song Lanyu smiled dumbly and said, "Little junior brother, don't forget, you are His Royal Highness the Prince of the Wang, how can you be accompanied by people from the rivers and lakes?"

Ji Daqiang suddenly realized: "Senior brother, I understand, then can't I call you a senior brother?"

Song Lanyu smiled and said, "If you like it, can't you just shout it in your heart?"

Ji Daqiang thought for a while and said: "If I become the king of Lu, I can call me as much as I want to be my senior brother, what else can they do to me?"

Song Lanyu shook her head slightly, didn't say anything, glanced at the cloth bag in Ji Daqiang's hand, and asked, "Little junior brother, what are you doing just now?"

Ji Daqiang raised the cloth bag in his hand and said: "I was annoyed by the knowledge, so I caught some, but it seems that I can't catch all of them, they are everywhere." ”

Song Lanyu stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it!"

Ji Daqiang handed over the cloth bag in his hand and said: "It's annoying to catch me, I don't want to call them if I know it, but I don't want to kill them, when you saw me, I was thinking about what to do with them." ”

Song Lanyu smiled and said, "This matter is not difficult!"

After speaking, he opened the cloth bag and released all the knowledge inside.

Ji Daqiang saw that they flew to the trees one by one, and there were bursts of chirps, and he pouted and said, "Senior brother, didn't I catch you for nothing?"

Song Lanyu said: "Didn't you just say that you don't know what to do with them after you catch them, and you don't want to kill them, so let them go." Little junior brother, this cicada song makes you annoyed, you think of a way to catch it, but you have good intentions, and in the end you are worried about how to deal with these little ones, in the eyes of senior brother, why don't you let it go, and then think of other ways!"

Ji Daqiang thought for a while and said: "Senior brother is right, this is also annoying to know, I catch it is equally annoying, it is better not to catch it, or I will be ruthless to kill them, but I can't bear it, forget it, senior brother, when I chatted with you just now, I didn't feel noisy, I was irritable before, I was afraid that it was because I was bored and bored, and it had nothing to do with knowing." ”

Song Lanyu nodded, looked at the breeze blowing the willows, and said softly: "Little junior brother, in the days to come, I am afraid that what will make you worry is far more than this, and at that time, it will depend on your determination and good thoughts." ”

Ji Daqiang casually dragged a wicker stick in his hand, and said casually: "Senior brother, did you say that it will rain tomorrow?"

Song Lanyu looked up at the sky and said, "The sky is like a wash, and there are no clouds, I'm afraid there will be no rain." ”

Ji Dazhu asked again: "Will it rain in ten days?"

Song Lanyu shook his head and said, "Senior brother doesn't have this ability, he can guess what will happen ten days later." ”

Ji Daqiang wrapped the wicker in his hand into a circle and put it on his head, and said with a smile: "This wicker can't stop the rain, but I have an umbrella and a robe, as for whether it will rain in the next ten days, I am not afraid, senior brother, after you come, I am even more afraid." ”

Song Lanyu smiled, looking at Ji Daqiang, he suddenly felt that his little junior brother didn't seem to be as naïve as he thought.

Ji Daqiang took off the hat made of willow branches on his head, and with a wave of his hand, the willow branches flew out horizontally, hitting somewhere in this old willow tree, and with a "snap", a cicada fell.

Ji Daqiang smiled and said, "Oh, if you miss it, even if it's unlucky!"

After speaking, he looked at Song Lanyu and said: "Senior brother, grandpa said, when you come, I will be able to go out for a walk, in fact, I think my kung fu is still very good, but my grandfather is not at ease, so he let me stay in the garden, I don't even have anyone to talk to, let's go out for a walk." ”

Song Lanyu nodded and said, "It's okay, but after the general explained it, your identity can't be revealed now, so when we go out, we still have to be cautious." ”

Ji Daqiang said with a smile: "Senior brother, I just listen to you, besides, let's go shopping, what accidents will there be?"

Song Lanyu smiled and nodded, and then asked, "Go out for a walk, do you have any places you want to go?"

Ji Dazhu shook his head and said: "Senior brother, I haven't gone out since I arrived at the General's Mansion with my grandfather, how big is this Langya City, what it looks like, I don't know, let's just hang out!"

Song Lanyu patted Ji Daqiang's shoulder and said, "Okay, then let's go, it just so happens that when I come, I haven't had time to visit my uncle and ancestor, it's always inappropriate to come to the door empty-handed, I'll go and take a look and buy a bag of good tea for my uncle and ancestor." ”

Ji Daqiang touched his body and realized that he didn't have any silver taels, and pouted: "Grandpa is really, he doesn't even give a copper coin, isn't it an addiction for me to go shopping?"

Song Lanyu patted his arms and said: "It's okay, it's okay, senior brother still has some silver taels here, what you want to buy, senior brother will buy it for you." ”

Ji Daqiang thought for a while and said, "Senior brother, it's okay, I remembered, I'll ask Aunt Wei later, she is my housekeeper here, grandpa said, I just have to tell Aunt Wei what I want." ”

Song Lanyu thought about it, with Ji Daqiang's current identity, if he was short of silver, wouldn't this be a slap in the face of the general's mansion, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then let's go." ”

For some reason, Wei Tang doesn't like Ji Daqiang very much, in her opinion, this prince can't afford to be His Royal Highness. Even the maidservants are shy to bathe and change clothes, and they have to come by themselves, which is not extravagant at all.

When she first came to the garden, she thought that His Royal Highness was a corporal Lixian, approachable, but after a few days of contact, she found that it was not the same thing at all, she was a rustic person who didn't understand anything.

Although she hated Wei Hu, she had to admit that it was Wei Hu's temperament that attracted her.

If it weren't for the noble concubine who came to this garden today, she even wondered if this so-called His Royal Highness the Prince of the World was found by the general from somewhere, a fake prince.

Wei Tang walked around the garden, looked at the fish swimming in the water and shook his head and smiled, what do you want to do so much, who is not serving.

She once heard a poem from Lord Wei Hu, after all, a few people have real deer, and they don't know that they dream of being fish all day long.

She didn't dare to think about the real deer anymore, but the fish in the water seemed to be more comfortable than her.

What about dreams of being a fish?

She sighed at the water's edge, and the shadow in the water was extremely beautiful.

If it weren't for her own appearance, how could she daydream that flew up the branches, and how could she choose to accept Mrs. Wei's kindness and come to the general's mansion to continue to be her maidservant.

She hated herself for being beautiful, because she always wanted to be more beautiful, and the beauty she imagined became beautiful bubbles, shining brilliantly in front of her, floating into the air, and disappearing.

Ji Daqiang and Song Lanyu walked out, and saw Wei Tang by the pond from a distance, Ji Daqiang smiled at his senior brother: "Senior brother, that is Aunt Wei, I didn't expect it to be so coincidental, but I didn't have to go to her." ”

Wei Tang had already seen the two people walking in the distance, she shrank her eyes, who is this majestic man, this temperament, but it looks more like a highness than that prince.

Rising from the edge of the pond, she folded her hands at her waist and stood by the side of the road waiting.

Ji Daqiang was actually a little afraid of this Aunt Wei, because this aunt has never been smiling, and when he first saw this aunt, his spring-like smile was like suffering from a cold winter blizzard, which made his heart cold for several days.

When the two approached, Wei Tang's body bent slightly, bowed his head and saluted, "I've seen His Royal Highness!"

Ji Daqiang nodded and said, "Aunt Wei, don't be polite!"

He saw that Wei Tang's face didn't seem to be as cold as before, so he said to Song Lanyu: "Senior brother, this is Aunt Wei, my housekeeper!"

Song Lanyu glanced at Wei Tang without leaving a trace, and said with a smile: "Under Song Lanyu, Xi is the deputy commander of the guards under General Wei, and now he is responsible for protecting the safety of His Royal Highness the prince, which is equivalent to the duties of Miss Wei." ”

Wei Tang was speculating in his heart about the origin of the title "Senior Brother", and when he heard Song Lanyu's introduction, his mind changed, isn't this the same position as Wei Zhong and Uncle Wei, so he hurriedly saluted Song Lanyu and said, "Wei Tang, I've seen Lord Song." ”

Song Lanyu returned the salute with a smile and said, "Miss Wei doesn't need to be so polite!"

Ji Daqiang glanced at his senior brother on the side, what's the matter, this aunt doesn't seem to be as cold as before when she sees her senior brother, could it be because of her senior brother's official position?

No, I'm His Royal Highness.

After thinking about it for a while, Ji Daqiang figured it out, it must be because his status as His Royal Highness is too noble, Aunt Wei didn't dare to smile at herself, for fear of breaking the rules, it must be like this.

Da Wall sighed in his heart, this son is actually very approachable.

Wei Tang nodded at Song Lanyu, then clasped his hands together, crossed his chest, lowered his head to Ji Daqiang and said, "What does Your Highness command?"

Ji Daqiang wanted to ask for money, but he felt embarrassed, and he didn't dare to open his mouth hesitantly.

Seeing this, Song Lanyu said on the side: "Your Highness wants to go out for a walk, I will accompany you." ”

Wei Tang nodded and said, "The slave understands!"

After speaking, he took out a purse from his bosom, handed it over and said: "Your Highness, there are twenty taels of silver here, if it is not enough, Your Highness please wait for a while, I will go to the account room of the house to withdraw some, the general has something to say, His Highness needs two taels of silver, just take it, but if His Highness is empty, please also ask His Highness to write a note to the slave, and the slave and the maid will report to the big housekeeper." ”

Ji Daqiang took the purse and stuffed it into his arms and said with a smile: "Enough is enough, this son is just hanging out with his senior brother, and he doesn't need much money, and this word will be written to my aunt after I come back." ”

Wei Tang saw that his purse was stuffed into Ji Daqiang's arms, and he wanted to open his mouth, but when he thought of Song Lanyu on the side, he just said: "Your Highness Xie is considerate!"

Ji Daqiang had the silver two in his arms, and he was overjoyed, so he pulled Song Lanyu's sleeve and said, "Senior brother, let's go!"

Song Lanyu nodded at Wei Tang and walked out with Ji Daqiang.

Wei Tang shook his head, this His Highness only took the money, it was really like he had never seen money.

This Ji Daqiang really hasn't seen money, and as for how many things can be bought with these twenty taels of silver, he doesn't know, it's just that he doesn't want to trouble Wei Tang to get the money again, and he and his senior brother have to wait.

————————————

After several days of running, Yuan Xi and his party finally arrived in Anyi Town.

Chen Suisui has already returned home, and in the past two days, Cheng Zheng's interest is a little low, even when he arrives in Anyi Town, he does not shout for his brother-in-law to get some delicious food.

When he arrived in Anyi Town, the danger of this road had finally passed, and Zhang Zhongqian also breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally arrived at the territory of his hometown.

The people below were Zhang Luo by Lao Jia, and he nodded at Yuan Xi and said, "Yuan Shaoxia, this trip is really thanks to you." ”

After speaking, he gave Yuan Xi a long stroke.

Yuan Xi grabbed Zhang Zhongqian's arm and said: "Zhang Gongzi is polite, Yuan Xi takes people's money and takes it as a matter of time to eliminate disasters with others, and this trip is not just relying on my own strength Yuan Xi." ”

Cheng Shifei, who was on the side, leaned over Yuan Xi and said to Zhang Zhongqian: "Yes, yes, Brother Yuan is right, brother-in-law, and me, this gift will be waived, just give me more of the hard-earned silver when I go back." ”

Zhang Zhongqian stared at Cheng Shifei and smiled: "Why don't your brother-in-law give you one more salute, would it be good to save this silver?"

Cheng Shifei pursed his lips and said, "Brother-in-law, you are really a businessman, and this account is really shrewd." ”

Zhang Zhongqian didn't care, and said with his hands behind his back: "Say this, go home and talk to your sister." ”

Cheng Shifei scratched his head and said, "Then forget it, my sister has to screw my ears off." ”

Zhang Zhongqian thought for a while and asked, "Xiaofei, how about my brother-in-law give you another dog?"

Speaking of dogs, Cheng Shifei remembered to tease Fei, he was a little depressed, sighed and said: "Forget it, I'm afraid I want to tease." ”

Yuan Xi patted Cheng Feifei on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, I'll take you to the dog market more in the future, Xiao Fei, one funny guy is gone, big brother, I can train many funny guys for you." ”

Cheng Shifei saw Yuan Xi's smile with evil, and said angrily: "Hmph, I'm not afraid of dogs now!"

Yuan Xi smiled faintly and said: "I don't know who it was, when I bought a sword in Xinling City, I was scared by the dog. ”

Cheng Shifei snorted, walked towards the inn, and said without looking back: "You two are so bad, ignore you, brother-in-law, if you don't make me happy, you see how I can say your 'good words' to my sister after I go home." ”

These good words are particularly heavy on right and wrong.

Zhang Zhongqian smiled at Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi looked at Cheng Shifei and said: "It should be fine, Xiao Fei is much stronger than we thought, he just doesn't want to forget this good partner." ”

Zhang Zhongqian nodded and said, "Xiao Fei, he is a person who values love and righteousness. ”

Yuan Xi said: "Let's go, go to the shopkeeper and ask, what is delicious, otherwise when you go home, you will really be locked out by your sister-in-law." ”

Zhang Zhongqian didn't expect Yuan Xi to joke, so he said with a smile: "Yuan Shaoxia, sometimes, being locked out is also a kind of happiness. ”

Yuan Xi glanced at Zhang Zhongqian strangely, what did he mean by this? This was bullying him that Yuan Xi did not marry a wife?

Zhang Zhongqian remembered that Yuan Xi had not yet married a wife, and it was normal not to understand the meaning of his words, but if he didn't understand it now, he would understand it in the future.

didn't say much, he said with a smile: "Let's go, let's see what is delicious here in the shopkeeper, no need for anything else, there is a chicken for Xiao Fei to eat, he is sure to be happy." ”

Unfortunately, the chickens in the store were all sold out, and the shopkeeper rubbed his hands and smiled: "Boss Zhang, don't you think it's a coincidence, but there are a few mountain rabbits in the store, and some air-dried bacon or something." ”

Cheng Shifei muttered: "Shopkeeper, your store is open for nothing, you said that this silver can't be spent in front of you, what money do you still make?"

The shopkeeper knew that this little master liked chicken, so he tentatively said: "I don't know if this little young master has ever eaten a goose?" There are just two big geese in the shop, why don't I let the kitchen slaughter them and give a few people a try?"

Zhang Zhongqian has eaten a goose, if this goose meat is not done well, the smell is strong, he doesn't like it very much. Then he said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, this goose is only afraid that no guests like to eat it, so I left it!"

The old shopkeeper smiled embarrassedly, and said a little embarrassedly: "Boss Zhang is worthy of going south and north to see a lot, this goose meat is fishy, there is really no guest like, it is our cook from the countryside to bring to keep the eggs, but this goose eats a lot, but there are not a few eggs, no, I think about selling meat to eat." ”

Cheng Shifei exclaimed on the side: "Big goose? ”

After speaking, he turned his head and asked Xiang Yuanxi: "Brother Yuan, do you want to taste it?" I heard my father say that when he was in Jizhou, he had eaten a goose, and it was stewed in a big iron pot, it was delicious!"

Yuan Xi shook his head and said, "I haven't eaten it either, I haven't seen it before." ”

If Yuan Xi had seen it, then he had eaten it.

He has eaten the old hens in Wang Lizhuang, and he can exchange them for a few mountain rabbits, but no one in Wang Lizhuang raises big geese.

Zhang Zhongqian looked at the eyes of the two, and said to the shopkeeper: "Then slaughter one and taste it, whether it is delicious or not depends on the true skills of your master chef." In addition, according to the old way, give us another rabbit at this table, and my fellows will put more meat, stew the vegetables more deliciously, and get them some snacks to drink, and the wine will be arranged by my butler. ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Okay, Boss Zhang, don't worry." ”

Zhang Zhongqian looked at Cheng Shifei and asked, "Xiao Fei, did my father-in-law really mention that he wanted to eat a goose?"

Cheng Shifei nodded and said: "I said, when I was young, my father always liked to tell me something about Jizhou, and my father said that Jizhou loved to make this iron pot stewed goose, saying that it was delicious, but no one in our Bazhou sold this goose, and my father couldn't eat it if he wanted to." ”

Zhang Zhongqian nodded and said: "Sometimes, it is a bowl of water in my hometown, which is also missed, and when I was in Jingzhou, I always missed our Bazhou food." ”

Yuan Xi was a little thinking about the birds and beasts on Tianyu Mountain at this time, and he thought that he would have the opportunity to go back to Wang Lizhuang to have a look.

After waiting for half an hour, a big man brought a large pot of meat to the table, which was the chef of the inn.

The chef put down the basin full of geese and said, "Thank you to the guests for trusting me in my craft, come and try it." ”

Cheng Shifei couldn't wait to grab the chopsticks and put a piece of goose meat in his mouth, regardless of the heat, and said while chewing: "It's so fragrant!"
