Chapter 11: Passing the Sword
Wang Zhenzhen said slowly: "Meng Gongzi's cousin Ying Shaoyan is the widow of the young general Ying Zhengyun. Later, www.biquge.info had to be taken care of by the old general, and Lord Xiao was also good to him. Because he has not been able to get rid of his crime, so he does not have much contact with outsiders, and my father needs to deal with the imperial court in order to take care of his Zhuangzi, and it is inconvenient to have too much interaction with his family, but when Ying Zhengyun just died, he secretly arranged for their mother and son to live. But I fought alongside him in that battle, and seeing his swordsmanship made me feel like I had something to explain. When the major general came to my house, I was only seven or eight years old at that time, but I had been practicing martial arts for three or four years. The major general liked me very much, and taught me the purest tricks of his swordsmanship. Later, every time he passed by or came to my house for something, he had to re-examine the teachings. Later, after my own sword technique was passed on by my father, I realized the subtlety of that sword move. Ying Shaoyan has never seen his father, his swordsmanship was taught by Guan Zhengfeng of the old department of the young general, I know that he will not know those swordsmanship, and even he knows very little about his father. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Zhenzhen also stopped. Before the outbreak of the war twenty-two years ago, Ying Zhengyun hurriedly married Su Qiyun, and fought a decisive battle with the Qinwang army led by Wei Du, the minister of state. Later, when he arrived in the capital, he committed suicide after assassinating Meng Lizhu, the princess of Cheng who was about to become the empress dowager of the dynasty. Ying Shaoyan was born a few months later, so even Ying Zhengyun's wife Su Qiyun knew very little about him.
Wang Zhen really felt pity for this Ying Shaoyan who was born with a lot of difficulty from the bottom of her heart, and she continued: "If Meng Gongzi is not in a hurry today, I will pass on the swordsmanship to you, and you can go back and teach him."
Meng Yu didn't expect this unexpected joy. For the world-famous young general, Meng Yu is also very yearning for his uncle's legendary experience. I remember that my mother Ying Xiuling once said that when she and her father got married, Ying Zhengyun personally said that if she has a nephew in the future, she must learn martial arts from herself. also added another sentence, if you learn from Meng Dingguo, a stinky boy, then it will be a big trouble. This story is the only connection between my uncle and myself, but it is impossible to learn martial arts, and I can't imagine that I can get the true biography of my uncle today.
Wang Zhenzhen put the knife away and drew his sword. Meng Yu also took the sword, and the two of them started practicing next to the pantry.
Meng Yu's swordsmanship is already good, and he is also smart, and he quickly learned eight or nine without leaving ten. However, Wang Zhenzhen did not let go of every flaw. The two of you went back and forth, practicing until the evening was getting dark, Wang Zhenzhen jumped out of the circle with a sword, and said, "It's okay." Meng Gongzi is really a martial arts wizard. However, you have to teach your cousin carefully, and you can't be out of shape!"
Meng Yu said: "My sister instructed, how can Meng Yu forget." He saw that it was getting late, so he sent Wang Zhenzhen to a place where there was an inn to rest, and then said goodbye and left, and returned to the capital alone. And Meng Yu rode his horse to West Yuzhou in the night.
The streets, residences, and shops in Nishiyushu are no different from those of twenty years ago. As an important border town, it is difficult for it to be as prosperous and noisy as the capital, changing with each passing day, but showing the majesty and vicissitudes of the north in the silence of reincarnation year after year.
Although the backyard of the temporary mansion of Inspector Meng Dingguo is spacious and spacious, and the design of different houses is scattered, it is simple and concise as a whole, which is no different from ordinary people. Those precious southern rugged rocks are not available. There are also no ornate pavilions. It's just a pool, an ordinary rockery bridge pavilion. But there is a huge garden with flowers and plants growing vigorously.
At this time, Meng Xue, the eldest lady of the Meng family, was taking the little girl to play with flowers and plants.
Suddenly laughter came from outside the garden. But it was his cousin Ying Shaoyan and the eldest lady of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhengyi's daughter, and Xiao Mengshi's sister Xiao Dianxiu who came to the garden together.
Meng Xue stood up with a small shovel and looked at her cousin and Xiao Dianyue with a smile.
When Meng Dingguo and his wife had not yet come to Xiyuzhou, Ying Shaoyan and Xiao Dianyue had already gotten along, and now it has been four or five years. Xiao Zhengyi had no objection to Shaoyan himself, and he did not stop his daughter from getting along with him. However, even though Ying Shaoyan's father, Ying Zhengyun, was a famous young general in the world back then, and he was a big hero in the eyes of the people of Xiyuzhou, after all, Ying Shaoyan is now the son of a criminal minister. Although Xiao Zhengyi is not a person who is attached to the flame, it takes considerable courage to marry his daughter to the son of a criminal minister. He has been an official for many years, but he can't make this determination. However, he couldn't bear to break up the two, so the matter between the two dragged on.
It has only been two or three years since the Meng family came to Xiyuzhou, and Meng Xue has grown into an amazingly beautiful girl in these two or three years. And she has a gentle temper and a casual personality. Only very occasionally will she show the same stubbornness as her mother. After coming to Xiyuzhou, Meng Dingguo rented another house next to his house, and installed a side door less than three feet apart on the adjacent courtyard walls of the two houses, so that Su Qiyun and Ying Shaoyan's mother and son could move over and live together.
Therefore, the world is unpredictable, in the past two or three years, Meng Xue has grown up, and she doesn't know when she will have the shadow of Ying Shaoyan in her heart.
But Meng Xue herself is an unassuming child, she is just planting flowers and grass, and when she thinks of her cousin and sister Dianxiu, she sighs silently.
Meng Xue has been very weak since she was a child, and she will be short of breath when she is tired. So whenever she sighed, her mother Ying Xiuling or Yahuan Ke'er, always thought that she was having asthma again, and always asked with concern, so she frowned and shook her head with Xiuruo's light eyebrows, and continued to play with flowers and plants silently. In this way, the garden is always vibrant, which makes Ying Shaoyan and Xiao Dianxiu prefer to linger and fall in love in this place. didn't know that there was a little girl next to her, and she was sad and lost in her heart.
Xiao Dianxiu is slender and fit, and her tone is as decisive and hearty as her brother. She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and her martial arts are not weak. Because he grew up in a wealthy and eunuch family, although people are kind by nature, there is always some arrogance. However, for Meng Xue, she always takes care of and loves her. She herself always said, "Such a beautiful little girl, who is willing to speak loudly to her?" and always laughed heartily after speaking.
At this time, she ran faster than Ying Shaoyan, and walked through the garden path to Meng Xue's side, and she hugged Meng Xue's shoulder: "Xiaoxue, do you know what I said when I passed by Mrs. Meng just now?"
Meng Xue blinked her big flickering eyes, and still said with a smile: "Sister doesn't tell Xiaoxue, how can Xiaoxue guess?"
Xiao Dianxiu was still holding Meng Xue, and gently patted her little face with one hand, with a look of pity: "Mrs. Meng said that before your brother was born, Aunt Ying prayed for him in Zhaofu Temple, and now it's time to repay the vow." And your little Meng Xue, Mrs. Meng also prayed for your illness, and she also had to repay her vows. But Aunt Ying is not in good health, Mrs. Meng said let Shaoyan take you with her, didn't you want to go out to play for a long time?"
When Meng Xue heard this, she couldn't help but be happy, but she asked again: "Sister Xiu is also going with you?" Xiao Dianxiu let go of Meng Xue and said depressedly: "This time and all day, how can I go." Even if I meet him now, although the family is not very obstructive, I have to secretly. ”
Speaking of this, she smiled again and said, "Every time you come, you have to avoid us and delay your great cause of planting flowers." ”
Xiao Dianxiu was cheerful and not awkward, but Meng Xue blushed: "If there is any delay, I should leave now." ”
Xiao Dianxiu hurriedly said: "I didn't mean to ask my sister to leave. ”
Meng Xue smiled and didn't answer, but said to Yahuan Ke'er: "Pick a bouquet of flowers for Sister Xiu, and take it with you when she goes back." ”
After speaking, Meng Xue said goodbye to Ying Shaoyan, but she was a little flustered in her heart.
It is also a little unnatural to say less. Although Meng Xue's thoughts were well concealed, the two elders didn't pay attention to it. Ying Shaoyan has always been sensitive and delicate, and he has long been aware of Meng Xue's different feelings for him.
It's just that Xiao Dianxiu didn't know anything, and said with a smile: "Don't forget to pick the biggest red yam next to the locust tree." Ke'er smiled and said, "Miss Xiao, don't worry, my young lady will give the girl anything." ”
Xiao Dianxiu was so happy when she heard that she hugged Meng Xue who was leaving, and kissed her on the cheek: "I knew that you were my best little sister." ”
Meng Xue was caught off guard, blushing and said, "What is my sister doing, saliva makes other people's faces." With that, he ran away.
Ying Shaoyan couldn't help but say to Xiao Dianxiu: "You are really crazy, girls can't kiss casually." ”
Xiao Dianxiu smiled evilly: "I'm jealous, then you can kiss it too." ”
Ying Shaoyan's face turned red: "What nonsense!"
Xiao Dianxiu stretched out his face: "Look at you want to be crooked, I mean kiss here!"
Only then did Ge Shaofang realize that he really wanted to be crooked, and his face turned even redder. However, seeing her white and red face come over, I couldn't help but feel a ripple in my heart, and I looked around before gently kissing her on the cheek.
Xiao Dianxiu became gloomy: "The matter of the two of us, Daddy doesn't know when he will be able to nod." ”
Ying Shaoyan also lowered his head: "In the current situation, I don't even have a future, no wonder your father refuses to agree." If I knew that, I wouldn't be dragging you down. ”
Xiao Dianxiu covered his mouth: "Don't talk nonsense." Even if Daddy doesn't nod his head for the rest of his life, I'll follow you. ”
Ying Shaoyan took her hand. Because of years of martial arts practice, although Xiao Dianxiu's fingers are white and slender, they are very powerful, and there are still some hard calluses on the palms and fingers.
Ying Shaoyan held her hand: "If I can meet you, even if I should be born at the wrong time, it will not be in vain." ”
Xiao Dianxiu returned home, walked through the garden, came to the small living room where her family gathered and eat, and instructed Yahuan to vase the flowers that Meng Xue gave her.
She went back to her room to change her clothes, and put a green silk back into a casual simple bun, and inserted a plum blossom hosta. When I came to the small living room again, I didn't find the bouquet of flowers.
Xiao Dianxiu was also in a hurry, and immediately shouted at a servant: "Where are my flowers, why haven't you put them on the table?"
