Pushing open the door of the next door, Zheng Fan saw the sword maid squatting there planting vegetables.
Although the yard of the house is not as big as that of a big house, it is the house next to the Earl's Mansion after all. It also has a wall. If I don't want to build it all with bricks or slates, I can separate it and plant some vegetables. An expression of living life.
At the same time, there is an additional chicken coop here, and three chickens are patrolling with firm steps and heads held high.
The Sword Master,
is sitting on a bench in the center of the field, whittling a wooden sword. Beside his bench, there are already a dozen wooden swords that are beginning to take shape. , but these can only be regarded as rough blanks. They will have to be carefully carved with textures later. There are some fine cloth strips next to them. Obviously, they need to be hung with tassels.
"Is this?"
The sword master raised his head, glanced at Zheng Fan, and said:
"You can take the big tiger to the school and sell it, it's not expensive. , but it can supplement the family's income."
"Oh."
Uncle Zheng glanced around and didn't see the second bench. He immediately walked behind the sword maid, stretched out his feet, and kicked it lightly. For a moment.
"Bring me a stool."
The sword maid was squatting there planting vegetables. Unexpectedly, Uncle Zheng dared to get up and knelt down with a "pop" into the mud.
But she didn’t say anything. She stood up, patted the dust on her knees, and went in to bring Uncle Zheng a stool and place it in front of her.
Then,
She squatted there again to prepare to plant vegetables.
This stool is a bit high. Uncle Zheng put the stool down on its side and sat down, almost "level" with the sword master.
"Tea."
The sword maid rolled her eyes, but she still stood up, took a sea bowl, poured some hot water, brought it over, and handed it to Zheng Fan.
This time, she did not rush to plant vegetables, but stood by.
Uncle Zheng took a sip of water and said:
"Snacks."
"I don't have any at home." The sword maid replied.
"Go and buy it."
"No money."
"Just say I want to eat."
"Okay, but I need to get more."
All the bedding in Xue Customs is the property of the Earl's Mansion. If Uncle Zheng wants to eat, there is no reason to pay for it.
"It's done."
The sword maid walked to the water tank at the door, pulled out half a ladle of water and washed her hands. After wiping them clean, she put her hands in her pockets and started swaggering. The ground went out.
The sword master has been patiently carving the wooden sword from beginning to end.
Uncle Zheng asked: "Where is Dahu?"
"In the school building."
"Where is sister-in-law?"
"In the workshop."
"Where is grandma?"
"Sweeping the floor in the back street."
After answering,
Juggernaut He raised his head curiously, then a look of understanding appeared on his face, and he said: "Oh, you didn't let anyone inquire in advance this time."
In the past, Uncle Zheng would come to visit the Sword Master only when there was no one at home.
"I came when I wanted to."
I originally thought that Shatuo Queshi had awakened, but I was just happy for nothing. When I was disappointed, Uncle Zheng came to Juggernaut here.
"I heard that you kidnapped a princess from Chu State?"
"Well, I will bring it to you tomorrow."
Jian Sheng shook his head and said: "No, I can't afford to give you a greeting gift."
"We are separated, right?"
"We are very familiar?"
"We are Who?”
“With her.”
“That’s pretty much it. In fact, it’s more about courtesy than affection, and she doesn’t care about expensive things. After all, she doesn’t care about anything. Never seen it?
I think a wooden sword is enough."
"Okay, then I will carve a female sword alone."
"Swords are still divided into male and female?"
"Aren't they still divided into male and female?"
"Yes."
"How does it feel to be in Chu State? ?"
"Not good."
"Aren't you back well?"
"It's dangerous."
"Are you still afraid of danger?" Before Uncle Zheng could answer, the Sword Master nodded and said, "You are indeed afraid."
"That is."
"But finally I came back safely, and my arms and legs are not missing."
"Oh, there's nothing I can do. When I think of so many soldiers and civilians in Xuehaiguan, they are all counting on me to survive. I don't care, but for them. , I have to learn to cherish myself."
The sword master said:
"The foreshadowing is here."
< p>"Is there something wrong with what I said?""No problem, but it's also very shameless."
"How to say it?"
"What do you want to say? Without you, the Snow Customs will not be able to survive?"
"That's not true."
"Without you, the savages will have to enter the customs again?"
“It’s obvious.”
“Without you, my little family will be gone?”
“At least, it won’t be as enjoyable as it is now, right? "
"Zheng Fan."
"Hmm."
"Do you know what I hated most before?"
" You say."
"It's those who are emperors and high-ranking officials, who think they are the emperor, are officials of the state or imperial officials, etc., but they have to make this excuse for themselves even though they are desperately afraid of death. < /p>
But in this world, no matter who you leave, the sun will still rise from the east tomorrow."
"But the sun will not eat, drink, suffer, hate or love."
p>
The Juggernaut opened his mouth, as if he found it impossible to refute.
In the end,
could only shake his head and sigh:
"I have long ago Got it, I can only use a sword, talkative, I can't fool you. "
"I'm afraid of death. ”
“I’ve said it. ”
“But when fighting, I am not afraid, because on the battlefield, there is no shortage of soldiers loyal to me around me. ”
“Yeah. "
"But what I'm most afraid of is walking alone on the road, and a master suddenly appears out of nowhere, and then I'm dead.
Old Yu. "
"Huh? "
"I, Zheng Fan, can be considered a figure now, right? "
The sword master nodded and said:
"Forget it. ”
“For a person like me, if you say you want to die on the battlefield, that’s all. I’m sure I’ll die a more heroic death, but if I’m knocked to death by a sap while walking at night, that’s fine.” It’s so frustrating. "
"You mean, I will give you a sword now to ensure that you die well? ”
“You know that’s not what I meant. "
"I know what you mean. "
"Then you are still going around with me? "
The sword master put down the carving knife in his hand, patted his legs, and said:
"I am a useless person now. "
"It doesn't matter. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If you are by my side, we can scare them to death without having to take action. "
"But what if we take action? ”
“There are not so many chances. "
"If by chance, Xiaoxiao comes up, wouldn't it mean that instead of you dying of suffocation alone, the two of us will suffocate to death together? "
Speaking,
The Sword Master looked at Zheng Fan seriously and asked seriously:
"I, Yu Huaping, am also a person, right? ”
“Hey! "
"You said, wouldn't it be very aggrieved if I died in the hands of an unknown desperado? ”
“Tsk. ”
The sword master continued to carve the wooden sword, and Uncle Zheng sat there, slowly drinking the water in the bowl.
The sword maid came back, carrying big and small bags. There are various snacks that are half a head taller than her.
“This is the one with meat floss that Dahu likes to eat, this is the one with almonds that the teacher’s wife likes, and this is the peach cake that Grandma likes to eat. "..."
The sword master stopped what he was doing,
watched the sword maid sorting the snacks into pieces, and then sent them to the room.
Uncle Zheng also finished drinking the water and put the bowl aside.
He stood up and prepared to leave.
The sword master said: <. /p>
"Next time you want to go out, I will go with you. "
Uncle Zheng, who had just stood up,
sat back again,
shouted:
"Refill the water! ”
“Here it comes! ”
The sword maid wiped her sweat, ran over and picked up the bowl to refill the water.
Soon, she was holding the bowl in one hand and the otherHe came over with a piece of Shaqima in his hand, handed the bowl to Uncle Zheng, and took a big bite of Shaqima.
"If you keep this thing for a while, it will become tougher and softer, and it will taste better." Uncle Zheng suggested.
The sword maid rolled her eyes at Zheng Fan and said:
"Spoil something."
"Yes."
The sword maid hummed. He was eating Shaqima in a small tune, holding a small shovel in his other hand, squatting happily and continuing to plant vegetables.
At this time,
there was a knock on the door.
The most annoying thing is,
The visitor stood outside the house and knocked on the door. The door was not closed, but he did not take the initiative to push it in.
The sword maid put down the shovel angrily, stood up, and ran to open the door.
Her first glance fell on the visitor's sword, the second glance fell on the visitor's legs, and the third glance fell on the chicken and duck carried by the visitor.
The visitor’s surname is Chen, and his name is Daxia.
It can be said that Master Chen helped Uncle Zheng a lot during his trip to Chu.
But Chen Daxia followed Siniang's team all the way to Xuehaiguan with a cheerful expression as usual, without any entanglement or feeling sad.
There are three reasons.
First, that is the State of Chu;
Second, he did help Yao Shi deliver the letter;
Third, he owed Zheng Fan.
The world of Chen Daxia is always so direct and straightforward, with an air of simplicity.
For example,
Now when he comes to visit the Sword Master, he actually has a chicken in his left hand and a duck in his right hand.
The sword maid signaled Chen Daxia to come in,
Uncle Zheng pointed at Chen Daxia and said:
“Look, this is what I just praised you. "Master Chen!"
The sword master just raised his head and glanced at Master Chen without saying anything.
The sword maid could see what Chen Daxia was thinking at a glance. She pursed her lips and said: "Put it down."
"Okay."
Chen Daxia put the chicken and duck in the hand. Put it down, and soon, the chicken took the initiative to blend in with the chickens raised in Juggernaut's yard, and then a group of chickens began to chase the only duck.
The sword maid pointed to the water tank next to the door again and said: "There is no water."
"Okay."
Daxia Chen said nothing. He picked up the bucket and went out to fetch water.
After Chen Daxia went out, the sword maid said to the sword master:
"Master, I think that person is very powerful."
The sword master nodded. Said: "It's just a bit silly."
Uncle Zheng immediately corrected him: "This is called pure."
The sword master responded and said: "Yes, pure silly "
"Old Yu, if we can teach you, please teach me. You don't want your skills to be lost, right?"
Jian Maiwen, who was just about to squat down again to plant vegetables. Yan, unhappy, shouted: "Uncle, don't you have me?"! "
"You are going to get married. "
"..." Sword Maid.
"Old Yu..."
The Sword Master sighed and said: "You can teach me. "
Uncle Zheng smiled.
"Then I won't go out with you." "
"Well, Mr. Chen has a very good understanding. I think that every sword is unique in the world. He should find and follow his own path. "
The sword maid stuck out her tongue and started digging with a small shovel.
"Sure, you continue your work. I'll go back to rest first. I've been coming back all the way and haven't slept soundly for a long time. It was a good night's sleep, and it was more comfortable to sleep at home. ”
Uncle Zheng stood up,
The sword master was still carving wooden swords, and the sword maid was still planting vegetables;
Leaving was the same as when she came,
No one welcomed or sent him off,
But seeing the Sword Master sitting here, Uncle Zheng felt at ease
When Uncle Zheng left. ,
The sword maid shoveled the soil and said:
“Master, do you really want to be his guard next time? "
The Sword Master nodded and said:
"He can't die. "
"Why? "
"If something happens to him, how can my apprentice kill him for revenge when he is eighteen years old? "
......
Uncle Zheng returned to the house, went straight into the back house, then turned a corner and came to Tiantian's residence.
Tiantian is here He was sitting on the bluestone floor, playing with Magic Pill while basking in the sun.
Seeing Zheng Fan coming, Tiantian became obviously excited, put his hands on the ground, stood up with some difficulty, and then shook his head. He walked towards Zheng Fan.
Zheng Fan bent down and picked up his godson.
“Oh, it’s too heavy. "
"Giggle..."
"Why are you wearing so many clothes? ”
Uncle Zheng took off one piece for him.
After playing with Tiantian for a while, Uncle Zheng went to the ice cellar again. Liang Cheng was in the ice cellar at this time, taking the The pot for watering flowers was pouring blood for A Ming.
Uncle Zheng was leaning against the door of the ice cellar, admiring the scene.
Liang Cheng put down the pot and said, "Master. Don't worry, A Ming's condition is getting better. "
"No, I think the picture in front of me is beautiful, but it's a pity that the paint is not easy to melt here, otherwise I really want to paint a picture here. ”
“Painting? "
"Well, there is a word that I think is very suitable to describe the current situation. ”
“Lord, what word? ”
“Ice love.
Liang Cheng frowned, then smiled, but no, it was so apt.
"My lord, I will tell you about the training of soldiers and horses after dinner." Report, it just so happens that the blind man also has something to report. It's too cold here. My lord, you'd better come upGo ahead. "
"It's okay, I just need to cool down. ”
Zheng Fan sat down on a piece of ice next to him. The anger caused by Liu Ruqing when he was taking a bath was forcibly interrupted by the sudden movement of the Sha Tuo Que Stone.
< p>Now after returning to the mansion, Liu Ruqing's shy appearance began to appear in my mind, and an unknown fire began to rise again.This is actually normal, because Uncle Zheng has been practicing martial arts in this life. As a sixth-grade martial artist, his body and bones are much better than ordinary people. He used to be accompanied by Siniang's needlework, but from the wedding day to his return, Uncle Zheng had not tasted meat for a long time. p>
Freeze first, take it easy first, it will be fine if you shiver from the cold
To think that I have to rely on this method to "cool down", it is probably hard to tell. No one believes it.
……
“He hasn’t touched you? "
"Ah, sister, no. "
"No, I mean, I didn't ask you to help with sewing or something? "
"On the way to escape, how could I have time to mend my clothes? "
When Si Niang heard this answer, the corner of her mouth curved.
It is really difficult for the master.
At this time,
In the bedroom,
Six Niang is sitting in the front seat. Although the hidden wounds on her body have not healed yet, she still looks charming. This is a woman who remains beautiful no matter what time. .
Xiong Liqing sat next to Siniang. From the moment she saw Siniang, the princess corrected her position and did not try to use her status as a princess to elevate herself.
Below,
kneeling is Liu Ruqing
But she is not kneeling on the floor tiles, but on a futon.
In a normal family, this is the position of concubine.
But it was not Siniang who asked her to be like this, but she insisted on it.
After leaving the Fan family, When she arrived at Uncle Pingye's house, Liu Ruqing looked very inferior.
She was originally a widow, and she had left the protection of the Fan family. Now, she had become Uncle Pingye's concubine. Princess Chu can only take second place and consider herself younger sister in front of that beautiful woman, but what about Liu Ruqing?
Six Niang said: "Come on, raise your head and let me see again. "
Liu Ruqing raised her head when she heard the words.
Six Niang looked at it carefully, then looked at the princess on the side and said, "What do you think? "
The princess sighed, "They are all more beautiful than me. "
Sixiang shook her head and said: "But the feeling when you call me, is unique. "
Xiong Liqing was still a little confused and couldn't understand the meaning for a while.
Liu Ruqing's face turned red again.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's true. A stunner.Siniang praised her, "She is so graceful and delicate, and her temperament is gentle and peaceful." "
Liu Ruqing lowered her head and said:
"Sister is the most beautiful. "
Six Niang smiled slightly and said: "Get up, don't let me come back and see this scene and think we are bullying you. "
"There is no place for me to sit in front of my two sisters. "
After hearing this, Siniang said:
"Then you really want my uncle to see this scene? ”
“I don’t dare, I don’t dare.” ”
Liu Ruqing immediately stood up, walked to the chair next to him, and sat down slowly, only touching the chair a little. This posture looked like a green willow on the river bank, with roots in the ground and body on the river. .
"Where do you live now? "Siniang asked.
"The side room. "
Sixiang shook her head and said: "I can't be wronged. Later I will ask Xiao Yibo to set up a courtyard for you alone. You can arrange the flowers and plants in the courtyard as you like, but the slaves and maids , it has to come from me.
It’s not that I want someone to keep an eye on you, but for the safety of the house. "
"I dare not. I am extremely grateful to be able to find a place in the house with my broken willow body. How can I dare to expect anything else. "
"The body of a broken willow? This is your plus point. "
"What do you mean, sister. "Xiong Liqing asked.
While she is in the palace, she can certainly hear some stories from various countries, but how could anyone dare to talk about such romantic affairs to the princess?
"It's better not to know. "Sixiang has no intention of explaining to the princess. It's okay for others to throw a basin on the Lord's head. There is no need for her to do this.
"Decorate the yard according to your ideas and make it more elegant, Uncle Rong. I will also have a place to relax in the future. ”
“Yes, I know this.” ”
“Look at it, women, you can be a little melancholy, which is good, and you can be more charming, but if you think too much, it will easily break your body. Don’t worry, no one here will.” Bullying you, we don't have the time to engage in intrigues or anything like that, so it's just a joke to outsiders. "
"Yes. "
"Go down. "
"Yes, sister. "
Liu Ruqing stood up, bowed respectfully and left.
"Sister, you can also choose a courtyard. The same is true. Decorate it according to your requirements. ”
“Okay, sister, I’m leaving.” ”
Six Niang was the only one left in the room.
At this time,
Uncle Zheng walked in while sighing.< /p>
Seeing Uncle Zheng’s head covered with water, Si Niang immediately stood up and went to get a towel.
“You are injured, don’t move, I will do it myself. ”
Uncle Zheng took a towel and wiped his face and hair.
Six Niang sat down and looked at Uncle Zheng with a half-smile.Lord.
When Zheng Fan finished wiping it and came over to pick up the half-drinked tea by someone who didn’t know who it was and put it in his mouth, Siniang said:
“Princess Human. Although she is not a peerless beauty, she can still do needlework, right?"
Uncle Zheng put down the tea cup and said, "How can I have such thoughts on the way to escape?"
"No, my lord, generally when you are on the run, you don't know whether you will live or die, and your future is uncertain. People will be more nervous, and it is often easier to think about that to relieve stress."
Uncle Zheng looked at Siniang and said : "You didn't know whether you were alive or dead at that time, how could I be so embarrassed."
I was running for my life with the princess, but the real risk was taken by Siniang and the others who were trying to lure away the pursuers.
This is indeed Uncle Zheng’s sincere thought. As a human being, you must have some conscience, otherwise it will be no different from an animal.
Before Si Niang could speak,
Zheng Fan said again:
"Liu Ruqing and the princess were given separate courtyards to raise them as vases. That's it. Anyway, A Ming and A Cheng always brought vases back, and over time they got used to it."
"My lord, you are not tempted by the excitement that the princess' identity can bring. Mention, that Liu Ruqing, even the subordinates were a little moved."
"Oh, I never thought that I would have a harem"
"My lord. Are you afraid of sorry for me?"
"Yes."
"So you are still willing to endure it?"
"Yes." >One asked very directly, and the other answered very directly.
“We snatched the princess in order to increase our reputation. Liu Ruqing was sent directly from the Fan family without any greeting. This is not a harem, so the Lord should not feel any psychological pressure.
< p>It’s the slave family. One of them is noble and the other is graceful. It’s fun to train them.”“I’m afraid of trouble, but we are still the same as before. I feel good.”
p>"It's just..."
"It's just what?"
"It's just that the slave family doesn't want to be like before."
Siniang He put his red lips close to Uncle Zheng's ear,
biting his ear and whispered softly:
"My lord, after the slave's injury is healed in a while, let's try Let’s have a child.”
