Chapter Ninety-Six: Stability Before Parting
Huang Fu'er took the two of them to find the place where their woman was familiar.
It's just a very ordinary small courtyard with blue tiles and bricks, and this kind of yard grabs a lot in Pingyang City, but it is still a little far from Pingyang City, and it still seems a little spacious.
Although the livelihood of the low-level clan of the Yu family still depends on themselves, to be honest, the Yu family is quite rich, at least even a beggar has his own house to live in, and it is not a broken brick and thatched house, which is much more than the ordinary people outside in Pingyang City.
Huang Fu'er knocked on the door, and after waiting for a while, a gentle-looking woman trotted over and opened the door.
Seeing that it was Huang Fo'er, she suddenly blushed and said, "Why are you here again?"
Huang Fu'er scratched her head, let go of her body, revealed the two people behind her, and said, "Didn't you bring my brothers to see you? ”
When the woman heard this, she looked behind her, and saw that there was another person she didn't know in Yu Fangxia, with a smile on her face, and hurriedly asked Yu Yanke to go in quickly.
Yu Yanke and Yu Fangxia also had smiles on their faces and entered the courtyard.
It was Huang Fu'er who hung in the back of the car, pulling the gentle woman to whisper something, which made the woman angry again and again.
Yu Yanke and Yu Fangxia walked in front, but they also heard the flirting of the two guys, and looked at each other, quite helpless. Feel free to sit down on the stone bench in the courtyard, and wait for the Yellow Buddha guy to finish.
However, Huang Fu'er's face was not so thick, and seeing that there was a slight impatience between the eyebrows of the two, he hurriedly let go of the woman and led her to stride in front of the two and stand still.
Then he introduced the woman to Yu Yanke and said, "Aya, my wife." ”
The woman he called Aya suddenly blushed, because she and Huang Fu'er had developed so fast, and she hadn't reacted yet, but she had already become Huang Fo'er's woman.
Huang Fu'er thought for a while, and added: "Aya fled from the north, and her family was originally quite wealthy, but later her father failed to resist the injury and died early, leaving only her and this courtyard, alas, evil." ”
When Yu Yanke heard this, a trace of sympathy appeared between his eyebrows, and he sighed: "In this world, there is no chaos in the world, but there are millions of people who are displaced, it is really a pity, and the empire has no good way to stop this phenomenon." ”
Huang Fu'er nodded in agreement, wrapped his right arm around Ayan's waist, and gently hugged her.
He obviously really loved this woman.
And Aya let him hold her, and she even gently leaned her head on Huang Fu'er's shoulder, her eyes full of trust and dependence.
"You two are enough!" Yu Fangxia said very dissatisfiedly: "It's okay to stick together at night, why are you still sticking together in the middle of the day?"
When Huang Fu'er heard this, he had no choice but to let go of Ayan, but he refused to act so spineless, so he glared at Yu Fangxia fiercely.
Where can Yu Fangxia's bachelor be easily solved by his Huang Buddha's eyes? He didn't even look at Huang Buddha at all, which made Huang Buddha quite uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do.
"I don't know my sister-in-law's surname?"
Yu Yanke asked at the right time.
Aya responded softly: "The slave family is exempt from Miao, and the name is Ayayao." ”
"Miao? This surname is rare. Yu Yanke heard this, thoughtful.
This surname is not rare, it is almost gone, according to legend, it is a branch of the barbarian tribe, but thousands of years ago into the Central Plains, and then with the clan as the surname, and finally assimilated by the Central Plains people, to now, thousands of years of time have passed in a hurry, and their line is not much different from the pure Central Plains people.
It's just that the number of people with the surname Miao has gradually decreased with assimilation, and now, it is almost rare to see people with Miao as their surname.
Yu Yanke once read some history books when he was a child, so he happened to know more about this part.
Miao Ayayao nodded and said: "It's really rare, I'm the only one left in our family now, and those relatives and distant relatives probably didn't survive that catastrophe." ”
Hearing this, Yu Yanke was a little interested, and he asked out loud: "What is the catastrophe that made you escape here from the north?"
Miao Ayayao just sighed when she heard this, and was silent for a long time before saying: "What disasters can there be in the north? It's all the work of the northern barbarians, that year the northern barbarians broke through the line of the northern border army, and the iron cavalry went south, burning and looting all the way, I don't know how many bad things we did, our family began to flee at that time, but unfortunately, only me and my father escaped in the end, and my father was seriously injured in order to protect me.........
As she spoke, she didn't want to continue, her expression was sad, and Huang Fu'er had to hug her and comfort her softly.
Yu Yanke didn't expect her to experience such a tragic thing, and for a while he knew that his question was really excessive, so he was dumbfounded.
"The Northern Frontier Army of the Empire has always had the highest casualties among the four major armies, so are the Northern Barbarians really so fierce?" Yu Fangxia asked with a frown.
Yu Yanke nodded and said in a deep voice: "The Northern Barbarians have an innate advantage over our Central Plains people, and they are even more difficult than the Nanyi clan. Many years ago, when Da Liang had not yet unified the world, the barbarians were still the overlords of the whole world, and the emergence of Da Liang ended not only a barbaric and backward era, but also the rule of the barbarians. ”
"If you really want to talk about it, the southernmost Yi people were actually the first branch of the barbarians, but they broke away from the barbarian self-reliance portal later, and now the northern barbarians who are strictly guarded by us are actually just a branch of the barbarians, but these two barbarian tribes have become a big problem for the countries of my Central Plains. ”
Yu Yanke said, looked at Miao Ayayao, and saw that her emotions seemed to be settled down by Huang Fu'er, so he continued: "Northern Barbarians, Southern Yizi, I have been in contact with them, they are indeed very strong, at least for the people of the Central Plains, they are terrifyingly strong. ”
Then, Yu Yanke told a lot of things about the Northern Barbarians, and the people present listened very carefully, even Miao Yayao was fascinated after returning to normal.
"So it's really not easy for the northern border army, if they pull them to the Western Regions, it is estimated that they can directly penetrate the desert and kill Jingyang itself, how can they still tolerate Jingyang to spread wild. ”
Yu Yanke said, and made a small assumption to accurately explain the strength of the northern border army.
Of course, the northern border army is so strong and is still penetrated by the northern barbarians from time to time, which is enough to see the terrifying strength of the northern barbarians.
"Then our Western Regions are too faceless. Yu Fangxia muttered.
"Who let the Western Regions be dominated by major families? Like my Yu family's Iron Guards, if they are pulled into the battlefield alone, they are absolutely not afraid of any army in the world, but they can't stand the lack of people, and the defensive force in some places is even only a few hundred Iron Guards, and the rest are miscellaneous, if our Yu family can afford to raise 100,000 Iron Guards, then it is impossible for the Western Regions to be harassed by Jing Yang from time to time. ”
Yu Yanke saw that Yu Fangxia was quite dissatisfied with his words, so he explained with a smile.
"Alas, trouble. Yu Fangxia said helplessly.
Yu Yanke changed the topic, looked at Miao Ayayao and asked, "Does my sister-in-law have any plans in the future?"
Miao Ayao was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said as if she had reacted: "What can a weak woman in the slave family think, it would be good to have a home and a man who loves herself." ”
"Uh-huh........."
Yu Yanke nodded, then pondered for a while before he said: "Sister-in-law is indeed a good match for Huang Fu'er, but it's a pity that I came in a hurry, I didn't bring any gadgets that my daughter's family likes, and I didn't have any gifts to give a meeting.........
"Ugly baby, why are you talking about this, do you still need to send this?" Huang Fu'er heard this, and said with a dissatisfied face: "You just don't treat me as a brother when you say that!"
"Okay. Yu Yanke laughed, and didn't mention this stubble.
After sitting for a while, Yu Yanke got up and planned to leave, Huang Fu'er wanted to keep him for dinner and let him taste Miao Ayayao's cooking, but Yu Yanke refused, saying that he had been away from home for many days and wanted to go home to have a look.
Huang Fu'er didn't continue to keep it, because they always knew that the ugly baby was actually quite homely.
And Yu Yanke saw them and knew that they were in good condition, so he went back with confidence.
Of course, after such a period of time, the smell of alcohol on my body has also faded a lot, and I am not afraid of what my mother will blame.
He didn't stop all the way, and went straight back.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Yu Yanke returned home, the sky had already darkened.
Although he had told Li Xiangrong where he was going before, he knew that Li Xiangrong would still be worried.
Pushing open the familiar courtyard door, the usual rich fragrance of flowers in his own small yard came to his face.
Yu Yanke sniffed a little intoxicated, then closed the door with his backhand, raised his voice slightly and said, "Mother, I'm back." ”
The voice of Suo Suo suddenly sounded in the inner room, and after a while, Li Xiangrong walked out, her face was not very good-looking, she stared at Yu Yanke like a cannon and asked, "What's the matter? What's the matter with that girl? You have been home for more than a month, and you have been running outside for a month, you are really used to it!"
Yu Yanke had long expected this scene, so he immediately just smiled slightly, took three steps and two steps, walked behind Li Xiangrong, pressed her shoulders, and said while massaging lightly and heavily: "Mother, it's completely a red thread in the clan, didn't I tell you before." ”
Li Xiangrong still frowned when she heard this, and continued to ask: "Of course I know, but why do you want to get along with her for a month? I really haven't heard of this kind of thing, whose family is that girl?"
When Yu Yanke heard this, he froze slightly, the letter he left before was not very complete, but simply told Li Xiangrong to rest assured and not to read it.
At that time, it was not explained that in addition to the reason for the urgency of time, there was actually some selfishness of Yu Yanke's own.
Of course, he knew what Li Xiangrong would do if she knew about Yu Peishan's origins, and it was estimated that she would have to go to the ancestral hall or the patriarch's mansion in person, and she would have to take Yu Peishan to her home and offer her as a guest.
It's not that Yu Yanke thinks his mother is too pedantic, but he knows how much difference Yu Peishan's status is from his own, so it makes sense that Li Xiangrong has to do it.
He was reluctant to tell Li Xiangrong the truth, which was a big reason.
It's just that right now, Li Xiangrong asked about Yu Peishan again, but Yu Yanke really didn't know what to say.
After thinking about it carefully, he said: "Mother, don't worry about her, this thing didn't work out, she has nothing to do with us now." ”
When Li Xiangrong heard this, she frowned and asked, "You can't get along for a month?" I really don't know what you want to do, the marriage arranged in the clan is definitely not bad, and there will be no such thing as who is not worthy of whom." ”
As she spoke, Li Xiangrong asked again, "Tell me, how do you feel about that girl?"
Yu Yanke didn't think much about it, but responded: "Naturally, I think she's pretty good." ”
"Do you think the little girl's appearance, figure, and personality are to your taste?" Li Xiangrong continued to ask.
Yu Yanke didn't expect his mother to be able to ask this point, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Naturally, it's all suitable." ”
"Then why can't this happen? Could it be that other girls don't look down on you?" Li Xiangrong asked with a frown.
Yu Yanke thought of Yu Peishan, shook his head suddenly, and argued: "She's very good, but I don't think I'm suitable for her." ”
"You don't think it's right for you to stay with people for so long? You stinky boy, it's unreasonable. Li Xiangrong angrily patted off Yu Yanke's hand massaged on her shoulder, turned around and put her finger against his head and said to him: "The daughter-in-law who came to the door can't keep it, you don't look like your father at all." ”
Yu Yanke was stunned, he didn't know what to say, he could only smile bitterly.
"Hundreds of years ago, people and children of your age were running all over the ground, and you didn't know how to serve snacks!" Li Xiangrong said angrily, and then, she let Yu Yanke go, turned around and entered the house.
After she walked a few steps, she saw that Yu Yanke was still stunned, and she suddenly shouted again: "Are you stupid? Come in and eat, and do what you have to do after eating." ”
Yu Yanke hurriedly walked in.
When he sat down at the table and looked at the sumptuous dishes, he couldn't help asking, "Mother, how do you know that I will be back today?"
"I don't know, but I've made it every day for the past few days, oh, this dish, this dish, it's all made before, it's all leftovers, I'll eat it." Li Xiangrong replied casually.
Yu Yanke never expected to get such an answer, he didn't know what to say, so he could only bury his head in hard work.
After dinner, Yu Yanke rushed to clean up the mess, Li Xiangrong didn't have any idea that he couldn't do well, he was not suitable for doing these housework, let him do it, and he also begged for a leisure.
After Yu Yanke took care of the housework one by one, the sky was completely dark, and he didn't do anything more, Yu Yanke returned to his room, fell on the soft big bed, and hummed softly twice in comfort.
After a month of struggle with the thatched bed in Yu Peishan's firewood room, Yu Yanke undoubtedly missed his bed for a long, long time.
At this time, he was lying on this bed, for no reason, he actually felt like tears in his eyes.
Twisting his body comfortably, he fell asleep contentedly.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yu Yanke stayed at home for more than a month, until he felt that he really couldn't stay at home anymore, and when even Li Xiangrong was hinting at letting him go, intentionally or unintentionally, he finally left home again.
He lived a very simple time at home, just a little thing every day, doing housework, repairing flower branches, and when he remembered it, he went to Master Tao's blacksmith shop to walk around.
He also had the idea of reforging a sword, but then he gave up.
Because it was really the damage caused to him by the Dao Yuwei after the sword was shattered before, he still hadn't understood it well, so it was actually the same with or without a sword.
Besides, it really didn't create anything good to open the furnace and forge the sword in a hurry, so Yu Yanke weighed and thought about it for a long time, so he gave up.
When Yu Yanke left home, Li Xiangrong didn't send him, but just told him not to come back for a few years like the last time. Yu Yanke didn't dare to agree, after all, the world is so big, how dare he guarantee that he will not be entangled in trivial matters.
He just nodded in agreement, and then said to Li Xiangrong that he would come back as often as possible.
Li Xiangrong didn't understand what he said, the woman just sighed, telling him to be cautious in everything, to be humble outside, to behave in the world, to have one more friend, not one more enemy, and so on.
Yu Yanke listened patiently one by one before leaving.
Compared with the first separation of the mother and son, this time, it seems to be a lot more dull.
Before he really left, he also went to visit Huang Fo'er and Yu Fangxia, he originally wanted to go to see Yu Ning, but Rong Bo told him that Yu Ning had untied the knot in his heart and continued to follow his father out to do business.
Yu Yanke was quite in favor of this, although he didn't see Yu Ning, but he was quite satisfied to know Yu Ning's news.
After saying goodbye to Uncle Rong, Yu Yanke went all the way out of the city, and then met Huang Fu'er and Yu Fangxia.
Huang Fu'er had simply moved to live with Miao Ayayao, while Yu Fangxia still lived with his sister outside the city. It is worth mentioning that when Yu Yanke saw Huang Fu'er, the guy was wearing a sweatshirt and a bamboo hat and was busy in the small courtyard.
This guy has nothing to do in his spare time, and he has opened up a small vegetable patch in his yard, and he is busy building shelves and loosening the soil and weeding.
And Miao Aya Yao was helping on the side, helping him wipe his sweat from time to time, and the two were full of strong friendship.
In this case, Yu Yanke was embarrassed to stay all the time, he just said hello to Huang Fu'er, ignored the guy's retention, and left directly.
He's going to find his sweetheart, too.
