"Okay, okay, you kid, why are you crying?" Yu Spruce hugged Yu Kite with one arm and said with a forced smile.

Yu Shihuan has six sons under his knees, the eldest son Yu Yunzhe, the second son Yu Yunshan, the third son Yu Yunmao, the fourth son Yu Yunlong, the fifth son Yu Yunyi, and the sixth son Yu Yuncai. There are eleven boys and seven women under the six sons of the Yu family, and the male names are all in the middle of the word Tian, and they are arranged to be Yu Tianji, Yu Tianhua, Yu Tianlin, Yu Tiansi, Yu Tianfeng, Yu Tianlu, Yu Tianzhao, Yu Tianxi, Yu Tianhe, and then there is Yu Shilang who has not entered the genealogy, and there is also a name called Yu Tianyu below.

Yu Yunyi was expelled from the family and was removed from the family tree, so after having a child, he could not enter the family tree, because of the rules of the Yu family, the name must be given by the elders in the clan, Yu Yunyi had to name the child Yu Shilang according to the ranking, just want to wait for one day, when the old man changes his mind, and then rename the child, but he still did not wait for this day to come.

Yu Kite is the youngest daughter of the fourth Yu Yunlong, nine years old this year, smart and kind, and lively and cute, very pleasing to Yu Spruce.

Yu Yuan pursed her lips and complained: "It's not that you are sad to see the second uncle, and the kite is not happy!"

"Don't cry, don't cry!" Yu Spruce gestured to the nurse on the side, and the nurse hurriedly went over to report Yu Kite, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

Yu Spruce continued on the side: "In a few days, your father will come back, you should be happy!"

"Really?" asked Yu Yuan as she pulled away the hand of the nurse who wiped her face, and looked at the second uncle with wide round eyes.

"Of course it's true, will the second uncle still lie to you?" Yu Spruce reached out and twisted her nose, "Could it be that as soon as your father comes back, he won't kiss the second uncle, right?"

"How come, the second uncle treats me better than my father!" Yu Yuan said with a twist.

"No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it's true!" Yu Spruce teased her again, Yu Yuan blushed, and jumped up to hug the second uncle's legs and shook them.

"Okay, okay! The second uncle believes you, don't shake it, the second uncle is covered in dust, and you have shaken it off. Yu Spruce joked again and asked, "If you don't study and paint at home, what are you doing when you run out?"

Asked by the second uncle, Yu Yuan suddenly let go of her little hand, "Ah!", and then ran back to the bench where she was sitting again, stretched her little face again, and stood motionless again.

The nurse explained with a smile: "There is a little brother who writes and paints here, and Miss Kite often runs out to learn to write and paint with him, and also grinds people to paint portraits of her. Then he gestured with his hand to the crowd.

Yu Spruce looked at it, there was a big easel next to the stone table, and there was a young man in a soapy white robe sitting at the front of the shelf, because he had a white scarf on his face, so he couldn't see his true face, but he was estimated to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, and he thought it was the little brother that the nurse said, and there was a six or seven-year-old girl sitting on the stone bench next to him, presumably a brother and sister.

Some people write and paint for others because of their livelihood, and earn some living expenses, but it is indeed rare for his age, and this livelihood is next to the gate of the Zhuguo Mansion, which is even more rare.

"It's the fourth grandmother's permission!" the nurse seemed to guess the second master's thoughts, and explained again, the fourth grandmother in her mouth was naturally Yu Kite's mother.

The young man had been sitting and waiting, but when he saw the second master looking at him, he got up and bowed respectfully.

At his age, he is not much different from his Shilang nephew, thinking that Shilang is also like this, or even worse, he has been spending time in hardship, the second master's heart is soft, and he turned around and said to the general next to him, and the general immediately took out a silver ingot of ten taels from his waist, walked over and handed it to the young man, Yu Spruce was not in the mood to watch, and turned back to Yu's house.

Entering the house, Yu Spruce went directly into the hall, and there were already doormen who reported to the inner house, and some people gathered in the hall at this time, except for the third Yu Yunmao and the housekeeper, most of them were women and children. Only one Yu Yun in the Yu family is a civil official, serving in Zhaoyang City, the rest are military generals, the eldest and the fourth went to the border with their fathers to protect the country, Yu Tianhua, Yu Tianlin and Yu Tiansi in the junior also followed the past, Yu Tianwei and Yu Tianlin are two of the Shilang generals in the Yu country, Yu Tianfeng, Yu Tianzhao, Yu Tianhe also served in several state capitals, Yu Tianxi did a bad catch, Yu Tianyi followed his father Yu Yuncai in Zhaoyang.

Yu Yunmao is not at home, the family is managed by the third brother Yu Yunmao, Yu Yunmao and Yu Yunyi were both listed in the Five Tiger Generals, Yu Yunmao suffered serious internal injuries in the early days, although he saved his life, but the injury was fundamental, resulting in the loss of cultivation. And Yu Yunyi resigned again, went into hiding, and died three years ago.

As soon as Yu Yunshan entered the hall, he saw Yu Yunmao in a wheelchair, compared to the pain of his broken arm, his third brother was even more miserable, his legs could no longer walk, and he could only sit in a wheelchair.

"Second brother!" Yu Yunmao looked at Yu Yunshan with eager eyes, but seeing his brother's decadent appearance, he immediately changed his words in the second half of the sentence: "The second sister-in-law asked someone to boil the water, the second brother went to change clothes first, and the inner house has already prepared a meal, and our brothers will have a good drink in a while." ”

Drinking a good time is just a word of comfort for each other, although the two brothers don't have to go into battle to kill the enemy, but they pay a heavy price, people are middle-aged, it should be the time to be high-spirited, no one wants to fall into such a fate.

They poured their hopes into the next generation as much as possible, and no one knew that things were so satisfactory.

Yu Spruce quickly washed and changed clothes, returned to the hall, the banquet had been prepared, the female dependents had dispersed, and the two brothers sat down to drink.

After a few glasses of stuffy wine, Yu Yunmao spoke first: "Second brother, I must have also gotten the news of the establishment of the Taoist Academy, right?"

"I heard about it on the way back, and you know it?" Yu Spruce replied as he asked rhetorically.

"Well, I just got the news!" Yu Yunmao smiled bitterly: "This is a certainty, don't worry about being scared!"

Of course, Yu Yunshan knew what the third brother's fear meant, and said with a heavy heart: "Father will not come back, he will die there, and the eldest brother is the same, and only the fourth brother will come back." ”

"It should be!" Yu Yunmao didn't seem to be very surprised by this: "Just with his father's temper, he will definitely be haunted by the death of the fifth child, and the eldest brother will follow his father, and none of them can persuade him!"

"Unless ....." said this, and the two of them fell silent at the same time.

Unless this is pinned on one person, that is, the fifth child, but now I haven't even found anyone, what else to talk about?

"Second uncle, third uncle, I'm back!" Yu Yuan's crisp voice broke the silence, and then she was seen bouncing into the hall with a bunch of scrolls.

The two of them immediately turned sunny and forced out a smile, Yu Yunmao waved his hand at Yu Kite, "Come, Kite, let my uncle see what he painted today?"

Yu Kite ran to the table, on the side of the two people who were drinking wine and food on the table, there was most of the empty space, Yu Kite saw that the other empty places were still clean, and directly put the picture scroll on it, and then picked up a sheet and opened it.

In the painting, there are bamboo forests and mountains and stones, and the painting is not bad, "Very good! Yu Kite has made progress again." Yu Yunmao praised.

"Of course!" Yu Yuan unfolded several paintings of herself one after another, including insects, birds, landscapes, lakes, clouds, and clouds, as well as the portraits she painted for her mother from memory, which was constantly appreciated by the two uncles.

There are three paintings left, Yu Yuan opened two of them, both of which are portraits of herself, one is a painting standing with her head up, and the other is a portrait of her sitting on the bench, although the two Yu brothers are martial artists, but they also see that the painting is really vivid and vivid.

The remaining painting, Yu Yuan did not open it, but directly collected all the paintings, wanting to hold it and leave, which made the two brothers very curious.

"Kite, why don't you show that painting to your uncle?

Kite pouted: "No! This painting is not painted by me, it is a landscape painting painted by the eldest brother himself, and the eldest brother said that the painting here is his home, is the painting good?"

"Oh!" the two of them immediately lost interest.

At this time, a woman came in, who was Yu Kite's mother.

"Iris, why are you so rude and disturb your uncle to drink?" said Kite's mother.

"Mother!" The only thing that Kite was afraid of was her mother, and when she heard her mother's blame, she hurriedly stuffed the scroll into her arms and accidentally dropped one.

Kite herself didn't notice it, and hurriedly followed her mother into the room.

Yu Spruce stood up and picked up the painting, but found that it was soaked a little by the water stains on the ground, so he hurriedly removed the silk rope that tied the scroll, opened the scroll, and planned to put it in the window to dry it, and then return it to the kite.

As he walked, he looked at the painting, and realized that it was the one that the two of them had never seen, and the landscape in the painting was indeed very beautiful.

There is a mountain peak at the foot of the mountain, and below the waterfall is a pool.

There is also a courtyard by the pond, and various flowers and trees are planted in the courtyard.

In the middle of the courtyard is a bamboo building, there are two people on the bamboo building, a man and a woman, looking at the direction of the waterfall on the top of the building, and there is a young man under the flower tree in the courtyard, sitting on the bluestone, holding a book and reading.

He was familiar with the mountain, he was familiar with the water, he had been to the courtyard, and he could guess who the man and the woman were.

There is also an inscription next to the painting:

Title: Linfang Half Moon Peak

Half fence, half flower,

a family on the side of Half Moon Peak;

I don't know when I saw the full moon,

Don't call the stone tower gravelly sand.

Yu Yunshan walked and suddenly stopped, his body trembled suddenly, and then he turned around and looked at Yu Yunmao with his mouth wide open.

Yu Yunmao felt that his brother seemed to be a little wrong, trembling and trembling, but he was still in tears, his mouth trembled, and he seemed to be unable to speak again, so he hurriedly asked, "Second brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Linfang Mountain, Half Moon Peak, that child, that child... It's Shiro!" Yu Spruce exclaimed incoherently.
