Chapter 8: The Big and the Small

Nanyang City, where the Nanzhou Royal Mansion is located, is located in the middle of the Qingjiang River, and it is only three hundred miles to Zhongzhou, when Xu Yanshan, the king of Nanzhou, ordered this to be the capital, I don't know how many civil officials and military generals opposed it, and even for several days in the courtyard of the Fuzhong were a bunch of people standing in Wuyang, all of whom were guys who invited the Nanzhou capital to retreat thousands of miles.

Most of them held the idea: "Since you are the enemy of Great Xia, you should be prepared for it", but Xu Yanshan insisted on excluding their invitations and set the capital in Nanyang City.

Nanzhou Wangfu is not as prosperous as the palace in Xuanwu City, Zhongzhou, and even some wealthy families can't compare, if it weren't for the plaque at the main gate hanging with four gilded characters of Nanzhou Wangfu, I don't know which big family mansion yard I don't know.

Xu Yuntian's courtyard occupies the position of one-twelfth of the palace, which is no different from the sons of other large families, unlike other sons and daughters, most of the other houses put calligraphy and painting tea, and the courtyard of the prince is mostly flowers, fruits and vegetables, an ordinary pine seat in the courtyard, the most valuable thing in the house is nothing but a set of priceless beds made of golden silk nanmu.

The other are some things such as trap birds, Hu Teng bows, sand wood fishing rods, wicker fish baskets, and from these alone, it can be seen that the dignified Nanzhou Gongzi is a guy with unique hobbies.

Xu Yuntian hadn't touched these things for a year or eight months, but the room that should have been dusty was spotless, and when he came back, he didn't send anyone to inform Mei Xue Xiangzhang and the two girls to clean up properly, which shows that these two girls who are five or six years younger than the princess are still concerned on weekdays.

Mei Xue Xiangzhang is a twin maid bought by Xu Yuntian, and the son was only ten years old when he was first set in Nanyang City. Although he has already been able to eat and wear on his own, who doesn't have a maid and scholar who serves him personally? I happened to meet a poor family selling his daughter on the street, and the immature Xu Yuntian stretched out his fingers: "It's the two of them." ”

It stands to reason that Xu Yuntian, the son-in-law who came home for the first time, should be lying on the golden silk nanmu bed at this time, but somehow, Xu Yuntian seems to have changed his temperament, neither the first time to tease the big girl and little daughter-in-law on the street, nor the pile of gadgets in the house, but sat on the pine chair in the courtyard silently, looking lazy.

Xiangzhang, who was worried, approached and asked, "Childe is in poor health, why don't you send someone to call Doctor Wang to come and check Childe's pulse?"

Xiang Zhang's face is full of foxes, and a pool of spring water can always be seen in the slightly raised eyebrows, unlike her sister Mei Xue, there is a shallow dimple on the left side of her face, and Mei Xue's birth is on the right, and her appearance is really extraordinary.

If it weren't for the fact that these two people were the personal maids of the prince, I am afraid that they would have been married back by the son of a general's family.

Xu Yuntian shook his head, suddenly showed a smile again, and said: "It's not in the way, young master, I'm just not used to it, twenty months of sleeping in the open air, and suddenly returning to the comfortable Nanzhou Palace, I feel that the gap is a little big." ”

Xiangzhang was amused by the grimace of the young man, and said: "The young master is fine, I was not used to it when I first returned to the house, and I got used to it after a while." ”

Xu Yuntian swept away the lazy posture just now, and suddenly returned to the cynical son-in-law posture, pulled Xiangzhang's chin and said, "Xiangzhang, how many years have you been in the mansion with Xue'er?"

Xiangzhang didn't know what Xu Yuntian meant, but still replied: "Childe doesn't know, it's been ten years in a flash." ”

Removing his hand from Xiang Zhang's chin, Xu Yuntian stood up and stretched, "An Guqing, that tigress is back?"

"Back to Gongzi, the eldest lady came back a few days ago, and she is meditating in the side hall at the moment. ”

"Good!"

The side hall is located on the other side of the palace, and the small courtyard of the prince is a south and a north, but it is not far or close, Xu Yuntian said hello to a few old servants passing by, and after avoiding their salutes, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional, and secretly said that the red tape in the palace is really troublesome, and it is far less comfortable than outside.

Xu Yuntian went straight to the side hall where An Guqing was, Miss An was a wonderful person who liked to practice martial arts more than fat powder, except for being happy when she saw the immortal martial arts books, she was unwilling to smile at anyone.

Of course, except for His Royal Highness the Prince, but every time I see the Prince, I will always be so angry that the latter will slam the door.

kicked open the door of An Guqing's room where he was sitting quietly, Xu Yuntian looked up at the beam of the room and walked in front of Miss An who woke up from the meditation, and said with his nostrils facing the sky: "Young Master Ben came back, I didn't know how to greet him, but it was really in vain, Young Master, I was thinking about you outside." ”

An Guqing was surprised for a while, and then a pair of willow eyebrows raised up, and said, "Don't you knock on the door before entering this girl's room?" Xu Yuntian, I see if you are itchy again!"

As he spoke, he reached out to get the 'full moon' on the side.

"Alas, don't mind, don't care, Sister Gu Qing" Xu Yuntian hurriedly begged for mercy, and glanced at the scabbard with a full moon, and a section of the end of the scabbard had fallen off the fire paint - it was beaten by himself.

Miss An ignored it, her hand had already touched the scabbard and grabbed it into her hand.

Xu Yuntian changed his playful attitude and said, "The old guy went to Xuanwu City alone. ”

An Guqing's hand holding the 'Full Moon' loosened, and asked in disbelief, "What is he doing in Xuanwu City?"

Gongzi took the opportunity to sit directly on the futon next to him, looked at the dusty room, and said: "What else can I do, I guess I went to find Dao Yunge desperately, if I win, I will slaughter my cheap uncle by the way, and if I lose, I will lose another arm." ”

"But, but the old guy, he is definitely not as good as that Dao Yunge. An Guqing was a little anxious, but he felt that he couldn't do anything, and he was so anxious that his eyes were covered with a layer of fog, and then tears fell down.

For An Guqing, he followed Xu Yanshan's side at the age of five or six, Xu Yanshan was even better to him than his own son, and he had already regarded him as a biological father in his heart, Xu Yuntian was a heartless person, and no matter how painful she was, she showed little on her face, but she was still a woman in her bones, and no matter how invulnerable her appearance was, she was still soft in her heart.

Seeing Miss An crying, Xu Yuntian touched his nose and changed the subject: "The room is a little dusty, I will let Xiangzhang come over to dress you, and there are some things that you still need to let someone do to meet your identity as a young lady." ”

And he said, "I'll take you to meet someone." ”

Without waiting for An Guqing to say anything, he took her hand and walked towards the firewood room.

Su Xingzi felt that he had been unlucky in the past two days.

Some time ago, I passed by Jianzhou City, and I gave myself a chance to hang up after the rise, and the hexagram showed that going east would meet a seedling with outstanding talent, and Tianjimen has always been a master and an apprentice. His cheap master has been hiccups for decades, and he should also accept an apprentice to pass on the incense of Tianjimen.

So he went east, and when he saw a young man who was lame and blind, he decided that the young man was the good seed he was looking for, so he stepped forward, and was beaten.

Unexpectedly, the young man would be the only son of the dignified King of Nanzhou, and the blind man beside him was the legendary "magic arrow" Zhang Xuche.

Now that he has entered the Nanzhou Palace, the blind arrow god is there, but he doesn't even have the heart to escape.

Xu Yuntian and the three of them brought the old Taoist back to the palace, according to the meaning of the eldest prince Xu, at least they had to arrange a first-class guest room to receive the princes and generals, and they didn't know how the old man was not happy, so he had to come to Xu Yuntian's side and say that this old Taoist priest would eat hard and not eat soft, and it was best to give a firewood room to frustrate his arrogance.

The prince immediately agreed.

The door of the firewood room is being locked by a copper lock engraved with gilt revelry, in fact, a master like Xingzhi can't help a lock at all, and the reason why it is locked is purely because Lao Yantou wants to disgust this Taoist priest.

I thought of what the old Taoist priest said that Yan Cripple was a traitorous disciple of Dajue Temple, and I couldn't help but think that this monk and Taoist priest was really a natural enemy, the kind of revenge when they met.

The subordinate in charge of the miscellaneous items in the firewood room was summoned to unlock the copper lock, and Xu Yuntian took the lead in walking in.

Ignoring the smell of dust and mildew, he glanced around the house and saw the old Taoist priest squatting under a bundle of rotten straw. At this time, the old Taoist priest saw that the blue and white Taoist robe on his body had become a gray cloth, and a few straws had fallen on his head, and in addition to the holes on his black face, he could not see the appearance of the fairy wind bones standing on the raft more than ten days ago.

Xu Yuntian stepped forward, pulled him up, and said very sincerely: "The grievances of the past two days have been long, and you have suffered this ordeal, the kid really can't go, and I hope you don't want to go to the bottom of your heart." ”

The old Taoist priest Su Xingzi heard a tremor at the corner of his eyebrows, two or three days, it was like walking in hell, first he saw a finger-long big meat worm in the food, and he didn't know where to get in the dozens of kitten-sized rats that came in the same night, and then the roof leaked, the firewood room was on fire, and the smoke was rushing into the house.

But fortunately, I can be considered lucky, and I know that it is not a big deal.

And all this that happened is probably inseparable from the prince of Nanzhou in front of him.

I didn't dare to slack off for half a minute, and immediately stood up and said: "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, the old Taoist priest is used to sleeping in the open, this firewood room is very comfortable, very comfortable." ”

Listening to the old Taoist priest's words against his will, Xu Yuntian simply pretended not to see his black and gray face, and said: "It's good that the Taoist chief is comfortable, I was going to change the Taoist chief to a good guest room, but now it seems that it is not needed, in this case, why don't you continue to stay with Su Daochang?"

The Taoist priest hurriedly spoke: "No, no, no, the old Taoist thinks it's better to change one, after all, this firewood room can't see the stars, which is not conducive to divination." ”

Xu Yuntian smiled, he had just frustrated this unsophisticated temperament before, how could he really let him live in this firewood room, and immediately said to the subordinates behind him: "Clean up the guest with the highest star picking tower in the mansion." ”

He turned his head to the old Taoist and gave a fist salute on the rivers and lakes, and said, "Please also ask the Taoist to move to the Star Tower." ”
