Yang Xiaoyang cheapened the delicious food in Xiao Di's stomach to a tree in the courtyard, washed it and put it on Xiao Di before sleeping with his clothes.

Li Congwen, who had a blue nose and swollen face on the side, was already snoring, but he couldn't sleep because of the bright moonlight.

Today he was very happy, although there was still a lot of confusion, but he knew that he liked it here.

He likes the busy, ordinary life here, and he doesn't know if this is brought about by the labor in Lexiu's mouth.

Two months passed in a flash.

In the past two months, Yang Xiaoyang and the others burned the tiles together and repaired half of their remaining roof.

Although half of the tiles and half thatch are very strange, although the tiles are of different sizes, some are more like turning their heads, although Yang Xiaoyang was afraid that he would be stoned to death by the bricks above his head when he slept, so he took off the tiles and re-laid them with wheat stalks.

Although there are so many though, Yang Xiaoyang is still very happy.

He pushed the mill plate for Le Xiu to grind wheat, and followed Le Xiu to learn to make plum wine and plum dew.

Oh, and maltose, and then maltose became Xiaodi's new favorite.

It's just that the maltose is too sticky to her teeth, and Yang Xiaoyang doesn't allow her to eat more.

Several of them also learned how to weave straw hats and straw shoes with wheat straw from Le Xiu, Xiao Di knitted a straw ring for Yang Xiaoyang to carry in his hand, and Ju Yeqi and Yang Xiaoyang knitted a straw hat for each other to give to each other.

Yang Xiaoyang added a pair of rabbit ears to the straw hat at Xiao Di's request, although the two ears were of different lengths, although the straw hat was sewn crookedly, although the straw hat would leak into the sun.

Although there are so many though, Ju Yeqi still likes it very much.

The straw hat braided by Ju Yeqi is much more exquisite, and Yang Xiaoyang thinks that it can be sold for a lot of copper coins if it is bought by a large family.

Of course, he will never sell it.

As for Li Congwen, this person likes to bask in the sun, so a few people don't care about him.

The days were leisurely and happy, but the smile on Yang Xiaoyang's face did not change much, because he could clearly feel that the vitality of Ju Yeyang was withering little by little.

Maybe she won't live long.

Yang Xiaoyang and the others tried to make her happier every day, Yang Xiaoyang didn't know if the happiness of the past two months was obtained by himself or for her.

..........................................

In the twenty-eighth year of An Yan, spring, the capital, the emperor's bedroom.

Yang Qi stood in the courtyard outside the dormitory, with his back to the sunset, and silently looked at his own shadow on the ground for a while.

He had previously found Gongsun Sheng in the Song region, and led the northern cavalry with him to fight for a year and a half, forcing the Five Kings coalition army back to Chu.

The three kings lost their troops this time but did not surrender, and now Chu is the last line of defense for the remaining three kings of Chu, Yue and Wu, and has laid heavy troops in various cities, and it cannot be attacked for a while.

But Yang Qi did not continue to lead the troops, and the Shu army, the Northern Xinjiang cavalry and the Yongliang cavalry continued to attack, and he had more important things to do.

He returned to the capital this time to see Zhao Jinsheng for the last time.

He still remembered that he met Zhongnan's patriarch for the first time in this courtyard five years ago, saw his son who was not born at that time, made a vow, and got the elixir for Zhao Jinsheng's life.

Since he led his troops to southern Xinjiang, he has not seen Zhao Jinsheng for four years.

Yang Qi clenched his fists and gently pushed the door open.

At this time, Zhao Qinian was kneeling beside his father's bedside, holding a copy of the Tao Te Ching in his hand.

I haven't seen him for four years, Zhao Jinsheng is still very fat, and his round face and round eyes reveal kindness.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, his spirit seemed to be good, even if Zhao Qinian read it stumblingly, he was not angry at all, and he kept smiling.

When he saw Yang Qi walking in, he laughed and said, "Oh, Lao Yang, your face has been black for a few years, you must have suffered a lot, right?"

Yang Qi listened to the familiar tone, his tense face melted, and he rolled his eyes, "Damn, you have to suffer a lot if you are such a faint gentleman." ”

Zhao Qinian put down the book, glanced at Yang Qi and lowered his head, without making a sound.

Zhao Jinsheng smiled, "Lao Yang is hard, I will let people send more servants to your house, I have specially asked people to train you in the past few years, to ensure that you are satisfied." ”

"Phew. Yang Qi found a chair and sat down, "Okay, you faint gentleman, I'm fighting outside, you are doing these things in the palace, and the people of Mingwu will scold you to death!"

Zhao Jinsheng laughed disapprerovingly, laughed for a long time before stopping, and glanced at Zhao Qinian, "Now that the Mingwu Dynasty is not only Li Jinglan, but also lacks a few capable ministers, you still have to work hard for a while." ”

"Still hard?" Yang Qi's eyes widened, "No, you quickly remove my regent, I have to go and enjoy the blessings, and let Li Jinglan do something." ”

"You want Li Jinglan to be tired to death, and he is a scholar after all, sometimes he will follow the rules, and he has to have an unreasonable foil like you. ”

Yang Qi put on a stinky face, snorted and didn't respond, and the room fell silent.

After a long time, Zhao Jinsheng spoke: "I think about the first time you and I met Lao Xu, or the time I escaped from the palace. At that time, you were still a tailor, I was the most useless prince, Lao Xu was the leader of my guard, who would have thought that more than 20 years would become like this. ”

Yang Qi's eyes lowered, and he also smiled gently, "Yes, every time you go out of the palace to play, you will come to me, and then Lao Xu will come to me." You still think he doesn't know you're there and can hide, but in fact, he already knows and teases you. ”

Zhao Jinsheng shook his head with a smile, "Later, I was lost for a long time after I learned the truth, but now it's quite interesting to think about, but the most interesting days are the days when we messed around in the capital." ”

"Eh, the most interesting thing is that in Guanzhong, King Qin invited the world's heroes to compete in Wudong City. At that time, I was old enough to know martial arts, and we just joined in the fun. ”

"That's right, then you went to learn martial arts, or asked Fu Xiuya to learn the sword, you said that if you learned the gun, is it possible to give you the name of sharpening the gun?"

Yang Qi sighed, "At that time, Lao Fu was still young, and he had already practiced the martial arts of the Fu family to the fullest, who knows which of them was the most powerful? It's a pity that he was injured in the military formation later, and I don't know what happened now." ”

Reminiscing about the past is something that old people often do, and they may not be able to get anything from the things that have passed, but it is always embarrassing.

Zhao Jinsheng suddenly smiled at Yang Qi, the flesh on his face squeezed his eyes into a slit, "Old Yang, I'm going to die." ”

Yang Qi's lowered gaze was raised, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar face, and replied quietly, "I know." ”

"You have to help a little more in the new year. ”

Zhao Qinian raised his head and looked at his father with a pursed mouth, tears already rolling in his eyes.

Yang Qi stood up and walked to the bed and patted Zhao Jinsheng's shoulder, "Don't worry." ”

"Hmm. Zhao Jinsheng closed his eyes and replied gently, as if he was about to fall asleep.

Yang Qi helped him lie down, looked at Zhao Qinian, who was already crying, and said self-deprecatingly: "I have always said that your father is a faint king, but in fact, I know better than anyone else, he is no worse than any emperor." Mingwu was worried about internal and external troubles, and he made me, who was nothing, the regent with a word, and no courtier dared to object.

Qi Nian, your father is my best friend, and he has never called himself me in front of me. I will help you when you succeed to the throne, I will not disappoint your father, and I hope you will not either. ”

"Hmm. Zhao Qinian wiped his tears and replied gently, as if he was about to fall asleep.

..................................................

Even the days are a little longer than the nights in late summer.

Yang Xiaoyang and the others finished their dinner, but the sun still did not set.

"Le Lao, do you want to live in the mountains all the time?" Yang Xiaoyang was fiddling with the dishes and chopsticks for Le Xiu in the kitchen, and he asked casually as he listened to the laughter of several other people in the courtyard.

Le Xiu sighed, "I'm old, and there are a lot of inconveniences in living in the mountains after all. I'm going to move to Muzhen in a few days, where I have a few old friends, and if I'm not there in the future, they will be able to take care of me. ”

"Hehe's father, why haven't you seen them all the time?" Yang Xiaoyang couldn't bear it.

Le Xiu smiled bitterly, "His father only has one thing in his heart, he left after giving birth, and his mother committed suicide after giving birth to her." ”

Yang Xiaoyang turned his head suddenly, but he only saw the old back, with pain and guilt.

Came to the courtyard in silence, Ju Yeqi saw him come out, and touched Lehe's head, "Hehe, my sister is tired today, and I have a chance to come to you again to play." ”

Lehe was still a little unsatisfied, didn't hear the meaning of her words, nodded, and jumped back to the house.

Ju Yeqi faced the sunset, watched Lehe close the door, and smiled at several people: "I'm going to die." ”

Her eyes were still big even when she was smiling.

Several people trembled, but immediately put away their sadness.

Xiao Di smiled first: "Then let's go eat the last delicious meal! I want to eat maltose!"

"Eating too much has a toothache. Yang Xiaoyang righteously refused.

Li Congwen nodded a few people with a folding fan and shook his head, "Naturally, it is the most lively to visit the mountains and rivers, I heard Le Lao say that you can see Pengli Lake on the top of Lushan Mountain, and you can just see the superb scenery at this time." ”

"Let's go!" Ju Yaqi's eyes sparkled.

Several people did not hesitate any longer, and walked quickly to the top of the mountain. Not only is the sun about to set, but also because the time for the night may not be much.

Ju Ye's vitality was already a little weak, and it didn't take long for him to turn pale and panting.

Xiao Di volunteered to carry her, and was praised by several people.

The small peak where they are located is in the northwest of Lushan, and the peak of Pengli Lake can be seen in the middle of the Lushan peaks.

Except for Xiao Di, several people knew that they didn't have time to get there, but a few people tacitly didn't say it, and listened to Xiao Di with a smile and kept chattering: "Why haven't you arrived yet?"

They climbed a small peak as the sun was setting for the last of its kind, and Xiao Tu lowered the bow and stood in a clearing at the top of the mountain and looked around.

It's just that I haven't seen a lake for a long time, "Where is that Pengli Lake?"

Ju Yeqi took a deep breath of the mountain air and touched Xiao Di's head, "I can't see it here, I have to go far, far away." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Di was very disappointed and pouted, "But it's too late, it's a pity." ”

"It doesn't matter, life is not as good as it should be, and it's not bad to be able to watch the sunset. Ju Yeqi smiled and looked at the sky.

The sun still hides behind the mountain, as if playing hide and seek with people, and the clouds in the sky are as if they are on fire, fiery red.

Ju Yeqi sat on a stone and said with a smile: "When I die, bury me here." ”

Several people couldn't keep the smiles on their faces anymore, but they didn't want to show too much sadness, and they all tensed their faces.

However, at this moment, a woman's voice came from behind several people, slightly fierce.

"Why did you break into this king's territory?"
