Chapter 163: Smile

Unconsciously, the summer heat faded so quietly, and there was still some sun in the daytime, but the coolness in the evening was just right. It should be a good time for the sisters to climb the skirt. Outside Kangnan City, there is a river channel sloping southeast. It is not wide and the water is not too deep. There is a large area of ​​red polygons and reeds growing along the river.
When the wind passed in the night, Chen Lala dumped a piece of red and Haizi.
A 7- or 8-year-old girl was carrying a basket around the shuttle. The reed was longer than her head. She pulled it and pulled the red polyps in it. There is a remedy in the village, saying that the flowers of the Polygonum are pinched to drink water to control the pain in the belly, both big and small know.
She came out to pill her sick dad.
Far away, an eighteen-nine teenager hurriedly cried with his throat: "Xiaomei! Xiaomei! Where are you?"
She jumped up and beckoned: "Hey! Grandma, I'm here!"
The young man Lang made three steps and made two steps. He bowed and trot over. Xiaomei was about to jump out to find him, but he was pushed back into the flower field by his brother: "Get down!"
A string of rushing horseshoes came from a distance, and at first it sounded like a traveler or two who were on their way, and at one and a half moments, Xiaomei felt that the earth was buzzing and shaking, as if a behemoth was rolling from the ground When she came over, she was afraid to plunge into her brother's arms.
She asked tremblingly, "Yes, what is it?"
The teenager hugged her: "It's a pawn, hit us across the river. Don't move when you hide."
The horseshoes stepped into the river, kicking and kicking for a while, but the sounds were uniform, not ordinary pawns, the horseshoes were covered with layers of cloth, and the Yin soldiers walked like aisles, and walked quietly after leaving the river Too. It rang for a while and then slowly stopped. Both brothers and sisters squat on both feet, stood up and spread their eyes, and saw the red polygons on the riverside being crushed by a large area, and they could glimpse the black-pressed army tail very far.
The teenager picked up his sister and entered the house. The father and mother also stood up anxiously and asked him what was going on. He bolted the wooden door from the inside and sat down to drink. "It's something in the mountains. Don't go out and wander around recently. It's going to be a mess."
...
Generals from all over came here and gathered in Chunan City.
In the evening, some small dishes were prepared in the kitchen. The nominal one was to catch the wind and dust for the superintendent and the generals. The second was the oath of the teacher. After eating this wine, you would have to be born and die in the next day. In the end, it was Ma Ge Shroud or an official. Each destiny.
In fact, both sides are eating absent-mindedly.
Lieutenant Wei opened his bell-like eyes and slammed the branches on the throne, fearing a wrong eye, he was poisoned in Minji Cup. The little eunuchs under his hands were also very alert, and they were always ready to raise the table and make trouble with the crowd.
General Min and Lian Jianjun were separated by an elbow, pushing the cups for another.
Recalling the afternoon time, the two carried their subordinates and stole back to the prepared room to take a break. Although they remembered that there was still a wind and wine to eat in the evening, but in front of them, if they did nothing, they could not hold back. , For a while. In fact, it didn't do anything too outrageous. At first, it was even thin-skinned, and it was ashamed and flushed when it touched. Second, Min Xuefei also had some gentleman style.
Therefore, it just dragged the person to the body, kissed and hugged, and kissed the nose and eyes. Min Xuefei was not as obedient as Ji Hong. He followed the family children in the capital to produce two mixed books. Although there was no actual combat, he didn't understand anything. At this time, he held his arms and his breath was his official uniform. The smoked sandalwood scent was so strong that he couldn't hold back for a while and reached in.
It's just rubbing something that doesn't matter, which makes the person's eyes wet, looking at him tremblingly, daring not to speak.
Min Xuefei thought he was unwilling to take his hand out. He was in a hurry. He put Min Xuefei's neck on both hands, grabbed his wrist and pressed it back, still not speaking, and hummed on Min Xuefei's shoulder.
Seeing him closed his mouth tightly, and unwilling to open his mouth, Min Xuefei sighed pretendingly: "If it is not speaking, then it is uncomfortable, I am offended."
Lianzhi raised his head and blinked anxiously, did a lot of mental struggle, and then whispered: "Comfortable, comfortable ..." He looked carefully at the man in front of him, afraid that he would be angry and rubbed him. 'S ear, whispered: "Xuefei ..."
In fact, he is an and does n’t know what it means to be comfortable, but as long as Min Xuefei is close to him, touch it here and rub it there, he feels comfortable.
He is so soft, where can Min Xuefei pretend to be able to hold on, can not help but laugh: "Is this comfortable? Really charming."
...
After recovering, the chef put on a purple magnolia cake, saying that it was the pastry recipe of the youngest man in the family, which was to knead the egg, purple taro, sugar and glutinous rice into a dough, and knead it into a purple magnolia with a bud ready to be put. The "flower bud" is filled with the earlier-made custard, and the "flower core" is sprinkled with some shredded rose petals. When eating, use a spoon to dig the inside of the jelly, and then eat the glutinous rice skin outside, which is both fragrant and sweet.
"This is pretty pretty. The young guard tastes it." Min Xuefei took a hand and handed it to the Lianzhi case. Lianzhi took off his official uniform and put on his embroidered and patchwork shirt. After a few minutes, he was referring to the purple magnolia cake, but he was talking about the person in front of him. When he walked, he secretly pinched him under the sleeve. "I heard that this magnolia also has double flowers, I am afraid that it is at this time. Later, the flowers should fall. "
Lianzhi's eyes turned slightly red, knowing that he was teasing himself with that Jiaozi, but it was difficult to say anything to everyone's face, so he could only come back to him again with a glass of wine: "General Min tastes this wine, which is also unique. . "
He only worried that Min Xiaofei's small actions would not be seen by others, but he didn't notice that his sleeves swept into the wine cup. Min Xuefei did not remind him, naturally took the toast of the branch, and gently put it in his mouth to drink: "It's really good, don't have a light sandalwood fragrance."
The people below gritted their teeth, and Wei He and others bowed their heads and murmured their hatred. What kind of reputation did the eunuchs pickle up? In the middle of Beijing, I didn't know what method was used, and almost destroyed the reputation of the son of Min Family! Today, I even gave the army commander to eat the dirty wine that had soaked the corners of his clothes. He used this method to humiliate people. It can be seen how unpretentious this is!
It is a pity that the owner of the family will be forced to drink in abundance. If they are not useful to these adjutants, they have not found a chance to put the to death on the way, otherwise how can he be alive into this city of Chunan!
The group of eunuchs who came to wait for the branch was even more keen. They all had seven or eight tricks in their hearts. When they even thought that this son Xiang Min was deep-minded. Look at that saying, who doesn't know that even the name of the young guardian is a good intention from "Bandy Lianzhi", but he said "the flower should fall", is it alluding that even the young guard should be "fallen" ?
A room, on the surface, is intertwined with the coquettishness, but secretly contests with each other, it seems that it has begun to fight for power silently. Only the two on the throne are indeed eating, but they are also aware of the actions of the people underneath. Who is the real protector and who is touching the fish in muddy water?
Min Xuefei raised his glass and invited Lianzhi to drink together. He actually whispered in his sleeve: "Why don't you see Fusheng come with you." Fusheng is always following the heart of Lianzhi and knows Lianzhi's thoughts best. Anyway, someone can help with the branches.
Lianzhi whispered: "There must always be eyes and ears in the palace. If I bring all the powerful people, wouldn't the palace become blind and deaf?"
This is true.
Min Xuefei smiled and said: "Lian Shaojian, please."
Lian Zhi also said: "General Min please."
Lian Zhi looked around, seemingly inadvertently mentioning: "How can you not see Master Ji?"
Finally it's time to talk about business! A few people under Wei He immediately raised their ears and listened carefully. Jingzhong had been messed up because of the rumors of the condemnation, and the palace was even panicked. Earlier, it was said that the princess girl who had been in the palace for many years was quilted. After leaving the Leng Palace, there were more layers of guards outside the Li State Mansion, and he said that there was a purpose, that he would imprison the family of Ji's family to calm down his anger.
Seen this way, I am afraid that this will be on Lianzhi! I'm afraid it will be uneven tonight!
Min Xuefei ’s face did n’t change color, and the corners of her mouth did n’t change:
Uncle Luan ’s body has always been weak, and he did n’t know how to deal with the epidemic. He has only been thinking behind closed doors in the house for a few days. If you pass it on, it will be. "
"Just ask." Lianzhi had already eaten a purple magnolia cake. At this time, he reached out and tried to get it again. I didn't know what to think of. His brow fell slightly, and he put it down again and turned to drink. "General Min again please."
Min Xuefei: "Even the young superintendent pleases."
The adjutants looked at Min Xiangzi with such a hypocritical smile, and the just put the wine cup in front of his mouth and put it down. In fact, he didn't eat it. I was afraid that his heart was already guarded. A group of people I felt even more bitter in my heart. I just felt that it would be harder to get started in the future. I could not help but secretly scold the for not choking to death!
In this way, when you invite me, please wait until the winery is gone, but the two adults are just a little bit, and the people underneath are drunk, and a group of martial arts wines come up, if it is not stopped by the soldiers underneath, almost He rushed to the hall and pointed at Lianzhi's nose and scolded.
Lianzhi and Min Xuefei both stood up indifferently and took people back to their respective courtyards.
Until the night, the gatekeepers were asleep, and Lianzhi retired a group of eunuchs, and after pouring hot water in the house, he pulled the socks off his feet, and then heard the back window squeak, black. The lacquered shadow turned in. Lianzhi was startled and instantly touched his hand under the pillow. The self-defense dagger hadn't been pulled out, and the whole person was dragged past.
Lai Ren smiled lowly: "Don't be afraid."
Lianzhi heard the sound and let go of his strength: "Late in the middle of the night, what are you doing?"
"Do not want me to come, then I will go back."
He said that he really wanted to leave, and he twitched his sleeves and whispered, "Come all here."
Min Xuefei was happy now, turned around and brought a food box under the window, took out a few dishes and placed them on the short table in front of his bed: "You didn't eat anything at night, but the dishes here are not appetizing? I call the kitchen I made a few Xia Jing dishes, and I also brought you a plate of purple magnolia cake. I brought it to you in front of Lianzhi.
Look at how you like this, why do n’t you eat more on the table? Pcs. "
Lianzhi held the dish, looking at it with joy, but muttered in his mouth: "I didn't like it too much."
"Then eat it for supper." Min Xuefei watched the water in the copper basin on his bed was still steaming, and his feet were bare, holding his sleeves and holding his feet in the basin, pouring the water on his instep .
"What are you doing!" Lianzhi was flattered, both ashamed and feeling that this was an insult to him. "How can you do such things as an identity like you and get up quickly."
Min Xuefei grabbed the instep that he was going to retract, and held it in his hand: "What identity do I have, the son of the honorable family like Ji Shuluan also wants to wait for the little doctor to wash his face and sleep."
Subconsciously curled up his toes, "That's different ..." he murmured, "I'm a eunuch."
Min Xuefei disagreed: "I'm just a castration."
"... Xuefei!" Lianzhi quickly covered his mouth and looked around. "There is ears next to the wall."
Min Xuefei looked up at him, stretched his tongue and licked his palm, screamed at Lian Zhi, and kicked his ankle into the man's heart. Min Xuefei took hold of the situation, wrapped in the wet water he stepped in, bent his knees on the couch, and forced him into the corner, so that there was really no way to retreat, so he slowly teased his thin lips.
The young was amused by his ears, his hands pulled on the chest of his chest, and the clamshell's mouth closed like a squeezed mouth.
He didn't care, but he felt contented in this way, almost forgetting the business.
Lianzhi shoved him and asked in a low voice: "When he was going to prison, was it for me, when should I read it?"
Min Xuefei said: "After tomorrow, little doctor will like those festivals, and let them make trouble again."
Lian Zhi pinched the day, suddenly: "It's time to pass tomorrow." He looked down to see his shirt wide open, and awake a bit at once, stiffly pulled a few under Min Xuefei's arm, and hurried people, " You also go quickly, and it will be bad for the little ones to come in and see you later. "
As I was saying, there was a little outside listening to the movement and seeing there was movement inside, knocking on the door and asking, "Master, what's wrong with you, but what's wrong? In this yard, it's better for the young guard to pay attention."
"No, I just drove a mouse past, it's okay. You all go back to rest, you don't have to stay here to serve." Lianzhi hid Min Xuefei tucked in the quilt, and after a long time, he heard nothing outside. Only then did the people come out, "Hurry up and take away the food box."
Where did Min Xuefei come from, and where was Lian Zhi stuffed back, and when he reluctantly brought the empty food box back to his yard, he suddenly paused and felt depressed: "How can I be like cheating?" ... "

At night, the number of passengers in Chunan City increased, and the children all came out to make trouble. Yu Jinnian leaned on the bed invisibly, and heard someone selling flowers and melons on the outside of the back window. Carved a variety of auspicious flowers, and then sold them, it is the flower melon on the seventh day of July, which is very popular with girls and children.
He suddenly remembered that this is the seventh day of the month.
Because of the rumors spreading during this time, Chunan was only hit by disasters again and again, and the seventy-seven days of this year were much deserted. Qiqiao City was about to open at the beginning of the new year. Go for it. If it weren't for the diligent people who walked the streets, Yu Jinnian Xu remembered it only at night.
Lianzhi waited for someone to discuss military matters at the government office, Ji Hong was also called away, he was not good to disturb, he got out of bed, walked to the hospital to see Jing Zhong ’s injury, and worked hard for a while, and then Only then returned to the kitchen, to make some smiles and sugar fruit. It is a pity that there is no Sui Sui Qinghuan around them this year. This Qi Qiao Festival was originally loved by the girls. They are not there, and Ping Bai has less fun.
Molasses oil noodles, milk and sesame seeds, kneaded into a lump, placed on the edge of the stove to bake a little bit by the temperature, pressed out the auspicious appearance such as Tuanhua, Koi, Jinlian, Tongxinling in the zizi, and then fried in the oil pan To golden. Various kinds of fruits are placed on the plate, it is called Xiao Xiaoer or Qiao You.
Or knead the syrup dough, knead it into the size of a stunned dumpling, roll it out in a syrup boiled in hot oil, take a bunch of bamboo sticks, like a candied gourd, and become the favorite of children. Sugar oil fruit.
He made a lot of clever fruit, and asked the soldiers to share a fun, the last lively festival before sending troops, it must be a joyous time.
Several people in Yali came out to speak. Min Xuefei's sullen face, but the eunuchs brought by Lian Zhi were refreshing, and as soon as they came out, they saw Yu Jinnian and a group of low-ranking adjutants squatting at the door to eat Fruit.
They argued in the house that they were red-faced and red-eared. These people were good. They were surrounded by the boy with a few fruits at a glance. If they were on the battlefield, I would never know how many times they were poisoned! Min Xuefei had nowhere to go, but he still had a smile on his face: "The war is so lazy at present, don't you get back to practice?"
"Lian--" Yu Jinnian stood up, and a food basket full of smiles was hanging on his elbow. When he saw Zhu Zi's official uniform on Lianzhi, he quickly changed his mouth and smiled and took out a string of sugar and oil. "Lord, you Also try it? Xiao Xiaoer and sugar oil fruit, sweet. "
The eunuchs snorted in the nose, looked at the contents of Yu Jinnian's basket, and sneered: "What shabby objects brought us to the eyes of the young guard." Lianzhi's face was a little guilty, but he was stared for every move. It was difficult to say, so he shook his sleeves and took the person away.
Yu Jinnian ignored them, and after seeing a few of them, he could not see Ji Hong alone: ​​"What about A Hong?"
Min Xuefei said: "I'm sorry, little doctor. I was thinking about someone today who suddenly made trouble ..." He turned sideways and let a door opened halfway behind him, and a little waited with his head down. Next to the door, Yu Jinnian looked down, his head dropped lower.
In the slightly dimly lit room, the man was standing tall, holding a bright yellow thin will in his hand, and turned to smile at him. The wind of early autumn slowly twitched his snow-white shirt, twitching the corners of his clothes, exposing a black and cyan chain between his ankles. When the wind stopped, the grim chain disappeared again.
Yu Jinnian groaned in his heart, ran in, grabbed his clothes and looked at it, squatted down and touched it, and asked distressedly, "Sink?"
Ji Hong: "Not sinking."
"How about it?" He lifted Ji Hong's sleeves and looked.
"No." Ji Hongchao moved his intact wrist, saying, "It's decent for me."
Min Xuefei came over and said: "You don't have to go to jail, you just need to watch the escort. It's a pity that this Qiao Qiao Festival, you may not be able to get out in the future." He glanced back at the door to watch the Ji Jihong, low The voice said to Yu Jinnian, "Don't worry too much, people with branches."
"My family is so arrogant, you take care of it." Yu Jinnian touched the silver from his sleeve and stuffed him in his hand.
"Don't dare," the received the money with his eyes down, and said, "Small Wu Ji, have seen the little magician."
Yu Jinnian turned around and helped Ji Hong slowly walk back. If he didn't look carefully, he couldn't see that he was wearing shackles inside, but the chain fell to the ground, and there was a clattering noise. The adjutants outside the door didn't know that it was Ji Hong's own request. They thought he was framed by someone. Seeing him like this, he couldn't eat any coincidence, and silently watched him out.
There was a flash of time in the heavens, and the dream of the world was separated by west wind.
Thinking about this time last year, Xin'an County was very lively, but now it has become a prisoner of others. Fortunately, Wu Ji, who is responsible for the supervision, is open-minded, and there is no embarrassment for them. The youngsters who came in and went out opened their eyes and closed their eyes.
Since he could n’t go out, Yu Jinnian moved the delicious food out to him. A red clay stove was set up in the room, and the thin meat was cut to roast and eaten. He also cooked red beans and fried them before serving. Smiled tiredly, warmed another pot of sake, and the two snuggled at the table and talked.
Yu Jinnian fed the sliced ​​meat with sauce into his mouth, as if he were shackled with his hands.
Ji Hong said helplessly: "I know, I'm sitting in prison; if I don't know, I thought I was sitting on the tire."
"You want to sit on the tire, you have to have that skill." Yu Jinnian bent over and touched the heavy lock on his ankle, a heavy piece of old iron, the lock was a bit rusty, I don't know how many years it has been used, it has been copied How many people, "Shen Shen, put it on my feet. I will find an old cloth to wrap it around you, so it won't break the skin."
A red-footed flying pigeon broke into the yard and landed on the old locust tree in the yard, groaning. Duan Mingwen jumped up the tree to catch the pigeons, took the book on the feet of the flying pigeons, and burned them immediately.
Then he quickly walked outside the door, and saw the little who guarded the door, gave him a few dollars, and did not go in. He stood under the gallery, facing the half-open window, and said indistinctly: "Shizi, things from the mountain come out Now. "
"It's time." Ji Hong nodded. "Also informed Xuefei of them."
Duan Ming walked quickly.
Looking back, Ji Hong looked at the dishes on this table, and Yu Jinnian seemed to have a bottomless digging out the cuffs of various objects. He couldn't help but say nothing for a while: "... It's really hard for you."
Yu Jinnian carefully wrapped his ankle, and a thick soft cloth was placed between the shackles and the flesh, so that the hard iron could not knock his bones again. Only then said: "If you can really get Yan Chang back, Sending Xia Jing to plead guilty, I can really feel relieved. "
"Sometimes sooner or later." Ji Hong said, he paused, "The two women's hatred also reported to you."
Yu Jinnian glanced at him: "Is he sure? Is there evidence?"
Ji Hong: "It's almost the same. I'll know after a trial."
Duan Mingfei ran to Min Xuefei, who knew that his courtyard was guarded by Wei He, who could n’t even let a mouse slip in. He had to pass the same words to Wei He who was guarding in front of his courtyard. Help pass it in.
Min Xuefei was in the couch, inside the tent, and nodded after hearing it, he replied: "Got it. The subpoena went, repaired for three days, and pulled up the camp."
Just about to leave, Min Xuefei suddenly commanded: "Lian Jianjun thinks it's time to rest, so he doesn't have to go. There is no need to send water or food in the past."
Wei He thought he was about to start remediating the eunuch, and he followed with excitement: "That's it! Just put the up and show off his majesty! Wait until we clean the mud legs under his hands, I Look at the dog that is not male or female, what to rely on. This emperor Jiangnan is far away, and his ancestors ca n’t save him. That little castro is not going to be taken by the general! You will be held in the prison ... "
Min Xuefei interrupted him: "Okay, ask the kitchen to bring a stew of milk, and you also go to rest."
"Ah? Braised milk?" Wei He wondered, "When did you like this sweet stuff?"
Min Xuefei looked at the person who was blushing in the quilt, and said impatiently: "I'll tell you to go, just go, so many words."
Wei He stepped back in a daze, went out and ran to the kitchen to spread the soup. Where did he know that he only scolded the eunuch, and he was lying under his general's quilt! No need to wait, now the famous is already following Min Ji.
Min Xuefei squeezed his face: "Listen, don't you want to cut your wings and shut you in a big prison. Are you afraid? By then the black in the prison, no one can see, only see me, I am like this The person who hid the knife in his smile and the sweet-mouthed sword must have tormented you as much as he wanted to torture you, without giving you food or clothing, you must beg me. "
Lian Zhi shrank softly into his arms: "There is such a good thing ..."
At present, Min Xuefei was amused by his foolishness.
