Xiao Si took the fat pigeon and walked inside, separated Xiao Hui's line of sight, and then took out some grains from a jar and sprinkled it on a table, and then the fat pigeon pecked himself. .
"Don't bet..."
A swaying sound of branches and leaves mixed with the vibration of the wings came from the outside, and then a gray shadow landed on the window sill. A pair of sharp eagle eyes looked at the Mandarin white first, and then looked at Xiaosi, In other words, the fat pigeon beside the little four.
The fat pigeons who were pecking at first seemed to be frozen in an instant, and their round bodies were motionless, so they dared not eat any more.
Little Four turned silently to meet the small gray-golden eagle eye, squinting slightly, the threat was overwhelming.
Xiao Hui looked at him carelessly.
At this time, the official language looked up in vain, just saw this scene, could not help but endure.Xiao Si and Xiao Hui are really a pair of enemies.
Primary 4 didn't miss the corner of his son's slightly raised mouth, and he had an answer in his mind: It seemed that Nanliang was coming from a good news. Finally, that Xiao Shizi didn't let his son waste his thoughts!
Suddenly, Xiaohui and Xiaosi moved at the same time. The former flew away with flapping wings, while the latter moved his ears alertly, and looked out the window again, only to see a black shadow gently rolled down from the eaves above.
At the next moment, there was a sleepy handsome young man by the window. At this moment, it was a winter night. The weather was still cold, but the young man only wore a thin black robe and long black hair scattered down. It seemed a little unruly.
Looking at Xiao Hui's flying back, Si Nunu complained: "When I saw me, I ran away, and I didn't give face too much."
It was rare in Xiao Si's heart that Xiao Hui had done a good job, and the corners of her mouth were almost invisible.
Si Rin supported the window sill with his right hand, and leaned over from the window to enter the room, and then leaned obliquely on a circle chair by the window, yawning lazily: "Yu Bai, I just heard a pigeon flying Here," he said, his eyes fell on the fat pigeon behind Xiao 4 and raised his eyebrows. "Is there news from Xiao Yi?"
The official language smiled and said nothing, and handed the silk paper in his hand directly to Si Rin.
Si Rin glanced at random, and Jianmei raised her eyebrows, fearing that the world would not be confused and asked, "Where shall we fight next?"
Xiao Si couldn't help but glared at him.
For this battle, the elder son deliberately deliberately, this did not sleep on time for several nights.The winter in southern Xinjiang is much warmer than that of Wang Du, and the son should have better health and care!
Si Rin put the silk paper down and flicked his fingers and said, "Primary 4, you don't know your son too well. Your son is born to live on the battlefield. In the years of Wangdu, leisure is leisure. Well, how can there be so much spirit now."
Xiao Si's lips curled into a line.
Indeed, in the past six months of coming to southern Xinjiang, the son really worked hard and lost some weight, but his slightly pale face was energetic, so that Xiao Si seemed to return to the turbulent years when he was in Western Xinjiang.
"So..." At the last moment, Si Rin was still serious. At the next moment, he laughed unscrupulously and said, "Yi Bai, who do you want to kill next?!" It is interesting to assassinate.
Xiao Si's full of emotion was suddenly interrupted, and his face suddenly turned black.
Guan Bai smiled and shook his head, then said: "Primary four, help me grind."
The four cities lost in southern Xinjiang have been recaptured, and the scattered soldiers have been almost wiped out. The tens of thousands of troops will continue to stay in the four cities of Dengli and Yongjia, which will only cause unnecessary suspicion.
Xiao Yi couldn't go back for the time being, he had to delay for some time.
It's time for the army to "return triumphantly"!
...
On the eighth day of the Chinese New Year, Shunxing scattered lights.
Folklore is the day when the stars are out of bounds.
Early in the morning, the sound of a galloping horseshoe brought Luo Yuecheng from a deep sleep with a good news.
As a fast horse galloped past, the people of Luoyue City boiled and lit firecrackers to celebrate the victory.
After the recovery of Dengli City, Ikarao fled in defeat and attempted to make a comeback. The army of South Xinjiang under the command of the world's son Xiao Yi, madly besieged him.Today, the Nanliang Army has returned to the territory of Baiyue defeated, leaving only hundreds of remnants, and it is no longer possible to make waves in southern Xinjiang.
This also means that the battle with Nanliang is finally over!
The army will also triumph on the same day.
The good news was presented to the King of Zhennan immediately, and the King of Zhennan sent people to Bixiaotang in a good mood.
Nangong Yue held the victory report in her hand and couldn't stop the smile on her face.
Xiao Fei, who came over specifically to accompany Nangong Yue with breakfast, was also overjoyed and said, "Is Brother Elder coming back?" If Elder Brother can come back before the fifteenth of the first month, he can accompany his sister-in-law during the Yuanxiao Festival!
Speaking of the Yuanxiao Festival, Xiao Fei couldn't help but think of last year. If it wasn't for the elder brother's rescue, she might not be there anymore.It's been a year...
Nangong Yue heard the news and put down the good news, her eyes were slightly bleak and fleeting.
Neither King Zhennan nor Xiao Fei knew that Xiao Yi was now in Nanliang. I am afraid that this time he could not follow the army back.
Nangong Yue did not explain, just said: "Your eldest brother will be later, Deng Li, Yan Ding and other four cities are waiting to be prospered. Your eldest brother is a prince, and he will come back after he has settled down in military affairs and people's livelihood."
Xiao Fei was a little surprised, and the movement of touching the orange cat stopped.
"Meow--"
Xiao Fei on Xiao Fei's knee made a dissatisfied cry and raised his small round head. Xiao Fei hurriedly moved again, caressing the orange cat's back and smoothing it.Xiaojue sat down again with satisfaction.
Faced with Xiao Fei's worried eyes, Nangong Yue smiled slightly, "The war is over, your elder brother will come back sooner or later, and it is not in a hurry at this moment."
Sister-in-law is really reasonable!Xiao Fei couldn't help muttering: "Brother really made it."
The maidservants who were waiting on the side couldn't help but pursed their lips and chuckled, feeling that the eldest girl said so!
Nangong Yue's eyebrows were curved, and she said in a good mood: "Baihui, you can ask Zhu Xing to find out when the army will return. Thrush, you go to Linzhai and tell your grandfather and sister Xia this good news."
The two maid leaders retired.
Nangong Yue stood up with a good news and said, "Sister Fei, we used to give my grandfather a good news, so that his old man is also happy!" The only one who cares most about Grandpa Fang is Xiao Yi!
Xiao Fei responded.
She was about to put down the orange on her lap and let it stay here to sleep, but the cat grandpa, Xiaotang, was not willing to protest, "Miao Miao Miao", and Xiao Fei had to hug it up, Take it to the Rain Pavilion together.
When Grandpa Fang saw the triumph in person, his eyes were all smiles and they became a line with a good voice.
Nangong Yue explained on the side that Xiao Yi expected to return to Luoyue City later, and then said in amusement: "Maternal grandfather, thanks to you this time. If it weren’t for the iron arrows you went to, our Nanjiang Army and Nanliang’s battle might be It hasn’t ended so fast, this military merit should be remembered for you too! Sister Fei, do you say that?”
Nangong Yue was deliberately trying to make Grandpa Fang happy, but Xiao Fei thought about the problem seriously and nodded hard: "Sister-in-law, you are saying. When the elder brother comes back, he must let him talk to the father. It is."
Looking at her serious and serious look, Nangong Yue and Grandpa Fang laughed at each other. Grandpa Fang scratched his beard and smiled boldly. The whole person seemed younger and younger.
Even the little maidservant who served in the rain pavilion had a smile on her lips. Every time the princess and the eldest girl came, the old lady's mood would be particularly good.
In a laughter of joy, another little maid came into the house in a hurry, bending her knees and saying, "Grandpa, Grandma Chu is asking outside to see."
Grandma Chu?Xiao Fei pursed her lips and couldn't help thinking about the first two days, her face sinking like water.
Grandpa Fang frowned. Of course, he still remembered the grandma beside his daughter, who was still married from Fangfu.
On the fourth day of the fourth day, Grandma Chu came to pay a visit to him. When I heard that she had returned to the palace of Zhennan, Grandpa Fang was in a good mood.Unexpectedly, as soon as she came, after the ceremony, she said righteously what the concubine was young and did not understand the rules of etiquette. Came out and advised Princess Shizi.
Grandpa Fang didn't take it for granted. The grandson's daughter-in-law had always done her job well. Where a slave-servant who wanted to rely on the old and sold her old man would point her finger at him, he trained Chu Mammy to pass her on.
However, Grandma Chu is also stubborn. She has come to listen to Yuge once a day to see Grandpa Fang. However, Grandpa Fang refused to see him, and today is no exception.
"Let her go back." Grandpa Fang said lightly, impatience in his tone.
The little girl retired in response.Xiaomao had already guessed that Mrs. Fang wouldn't see Grandma Chu, but Grandma Chu was really difficult, and she had to come and pass it by herself.
Bixiaotang is so big, and Grandma Chu didn’t specifically avoid others. She came to listen to Yuge every day, and it had long spread to Nangong Yue’s ears-but because of the respect of the old lady of the other party, Nangong Yue left him alone The old man handles it himself.
Left and right is just an old servant.
At this time, Xiao Fei on Xiao Fei's knee finally woke up, and after yawning, he easily jumped to the ground and cried a few times with "Miao Miao Miao" as if to say, I am hungry and have food. Is it?
Grandpa Fang is familiar with the two cats raised by Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei, especially the orange cat.Xiao Fei came to play chess with him every day, and this orange cat often followed him. As soon as it called, Grandpa Fang knew that he was hungry and hurriedly ordered the little girl to prepare fish for it.
Suddenly interrupted by Xiaoju, the grandfather and grandson left Grandma Chu behind him in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that Xiaotang was satisfied, Grandpa Fang remembered another thing and smiled: "Ayue, Sister Fei, you come with me. My grandfather recently got something good..."
Grandpa Fang showed a mysterious smile. He made a gesture, and the little girl serving in the room pushed his wheelchair toward the study.
Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei exchanged a look in doubt, followed by shoulder to shoulder.
Grandpa Fang kept Xiaomao pushing his wheelchair behind the carved mahogany book case, and then took out a red lacquered wood box from the side and placed it on the book case.
Judging from the collision sound of the box falling, the weight of things in the box is not light.
Seeing Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei showing curiosity, Grandpa Fang smiled smugly, and opened the box in front of them...
Xiao Fei's eyes suddenly lit up, and Nangong Yue glanced at each other, and the two sisters blurted out at the same time and said, "Indian stone treasures!"
The so-called "three treasures of Indian stone" are Tian Huangshi, Heliotrope and Furong stone.
These three are the treasures of Indian stone, each with its own characteristics. Tian Huangshi is warm and noble, the hibiscus stone is bright and clear, and the bloodstone is beautiful and beautiful. The three are inseparable.
Mrs. Fang scratched his beard, and the smile lines on his face were crowded together, and he was in a good mood.Even if there is a baby, someone has to know the goods.
It is not only the three treasures of the printed stones that he holds in this box, but each type of printed stone has several pieces, which seem to be a box of stones, but in the eyes of a person who knows how, this is worth the price!
"Ayue, Sister Fei, the square stones I just got recently, both of you will pick one and engrave a seal?"
Around the year and a year ago, Grandpa Fang received many ceremonies from Fang’s relatives and the managers in charge. Among them were these printed stones. Grandpa Fang looked at it and knew that Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei would love it.Sure enough!
"Maternal grandfather, the grandson's daughter-in-law will not be polite to you old man!" Nangong Yue smiled. "Maternal grandfather, I heard Ayi say that you know Shi best, why don't you come and pick me a stone?"
Mrs. Fang responded at once, and he took out a few stones from the box and set them aside. He murmured, "Ayue, your temperament is warm, or Tian Huangshi is more suitable for you."
With that said, he picked up one of the translucent Tian Huangshi, which was delicate, gentle and smooth, and put it in the sun, and he could see vague textures.
Grandpa Fang said with satisfaction: "Ayue, how do you look at this side? You can sculpt a cicada to make a button. The pattern of this stone can match the pattern of the wing of the cicada."
Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei also came together to look at the patterns of Huangtian in Tiantian. Xiao Fei couldn't help but say: "Sister-in-law, grandfather has a good idea. I just wanted to learn to carve carvings recently. I'll paint only cicadas with you." Xiao Fei has already rubbed his hands, and can't wait.
Nangong Yue responded with a smile, seeing this, Xiao Fei hurriedly told the maid to wait for the pen and ink, but could not wait to draw on the spot in front of another book in front of the window...
Grandpa Fang and Nangong Yue looked at each other, and both laughed, knowing that Xiao Fei had forgotten to pick up a stone for himself.
Nangong Yue suggested: "Maternal grandfather, simply choose one for Sister Fei."
Grandpa Fang glanced at Xiao Fei. Under the warm sun of winter, Xiao Fei's profile looked so soft, as crystal clear as the dew of that winter morning.
Mrs. Fang took a piece of hibiscus stone from the box, which looks like jade but not jade, innocent and clear, delicate and pure, and cleanses himself... just like Xiao Fei.
Grandpa Fang and Nangong Yue smiled at each other, and Nangong Yue said again: "Maternal grandfather, A Yi carved the seal's skill is not bad. When he comes back to carve the seal for me, I will show it to you again?"
"Ai will also seal?"
Grandpa Fang raised his eyebrows with interest, chatting with Nangong Yue with great interest.
In the small study room, the atmosphere is warm and quiet.
On the tenth day of the first month, Zhu Xing heard that the army would arrive in Luoyue City on the 15th day of the first month, and Fu Yunhe would also return with the army.
Nangong Yue immediately took Xiao Fei to the Linzhai together and handed this good news to Han Qixia.
Han Qixia was really overjoyed, and happily discussed with Xiao Fei about the day of the meeting. They also decided to make a seat in the drunk Xiaolou at the gate of the city, so that they could see the grand occasion when the army entered the city.
Nangong Yue looked at Han Qixia with a smile, and was happy for her from the bottom of her heart.
In the eager anticipation of the whole city, it immediately arrived on the fifteenth day of the first month, which is the day of the Lantern Festival.Originally, there was a strong festival atmosphere in Luoyue City, and the people of the whole city knew that some of the soldiers of the Southern Xinjiang Army would triumphantly return to the city. The people spontaneously gathered near the gate of the city, waiting for the soldiers. return with glory.
On the street facing the city gate, the restaurants and shops on both sides are full of people. The people are waiting for each one, which is even more lively than the New Year's Day.
One by one, the guards in armor stood on the street step by step, blocking those enthusiastic people on both sides of the street.
The sun rises from the sky to the east, and halfway through the hour, I can hear the sound of rumbling footsteps mixed with the sound of horseshoes...
In the Zuixiao Tower near the city gate, Han Qixia, Xiao Fei and Xiao Ni are sitting in the window of the elegant seat on the second floor of a restaurant, looking forward from the window to the direction of the city gate. Infected by today's atmosphere, everyone's eyes shine like gems.
"Sister Xia and the third sister, it's time to go now." Xiao Fei looked at the sky and said, "Listening to the sister-in-law, the army should arrive between Chen and Si..."
Han Qixia responded with a pink face, bowed her head and looked out the window, a voice in her heart sighed and said: Cousin He is coming back soon.
At this time, Xiao Ni seemed to see something, extended his neck and looked down.
Xiao Fei was about to ask, and saw Xiao Ni withdrawing his gaze and looking at himself: "Big Sister, Sister Xia, I saw Gu girl also coming, I went to say hello."
Han Qixia didn't know Gu girl, but Xiao Fei remembered Xiao Ni's life-saving benefactor. Now, Xiao Ni should say hello.
"Three sisters, you go." Xiao Fei nodded slightly.
After Xiao Ni got up, he adjusted the skirt and walked out of the elegant seat. On the face, she saw Gu girl wearing a blue-blue brocade on the third floor.
"Gu girl!" Xiao Ni hurriedly stopped the other party and quickly stepped forward.
"Girl Xiao," Gu girl turned her head and looked at the voice, smiling gently. "It was a coincidence that the girl was here too. Girl Xiao, I booked an elegant seat on the third floor. The girl might as well follow me." A narration?"
Xiao Ni naturally responded, and followed Gu girl to a room on the third floor.
After giving the hot tea and snacks, Xiaoer withdrew.
Xiao Ni took a sip of hot tea and put down the tea cup in his hand: "Gu girl, I need to thank you again for your life-saving grace today."
Holding the tea cup, Gu girl raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Fei, slightly raised her right eyebrow, and asked, "Miss Xiao, do you have asthma..."
Xiao Ni nodded and said, "Probably because of the winter, my asthma has recurred several times in the past few days, but taking the girl's medicine will be fine. Gu girl, your family medicine is really effective." With that said, she owed her cautiously, "Xiao Ni thanked me here."
"Miss Xiao did not need to be polite." Gu girl supported Xiao Ni with a smile, and then the words turned, "Miss Xiao, my sister should have accompanied me to see the triumphant return of the army today, but she was unwell. Come, I am in a relationship with the girl. How about the girl talking with me here?"
Xiao Ni froze for a moment, responded with a smile, then turned his head and told Sang Rou: "Sang Rou, go down and tell the elder girl."
Sang Rou blessed himself and closed the door of the elegant seat and retreated.
"Miss Gu, Sister..."
Xiao Ni wanted to greet Gu's sister, but half of the words came to an abrupt end.She seemed to smell a familiar scent, a scent similar to gardenia...
Then, a cold feeling came from the bottom of her heart, and her body shivered uncontrollably.
"Hoo-Huo -"
Xiao Ni's breath began to grow longer and deeper, as if his body was not his own.
She fell to the ground softly, with a hunchback on her chest, and she almost curled up with her arms around her, trembling uncontrollably, like fallen leaves shivering in the cold wind.
Her asthma has recurred!
Xiao Ni's brain was blank and he couldn't think. He could only say in pain: "Gu girl... Ma... trouble you... call my maid... come here."
Girl Gu got up and walked to Xiao Ni, squatted down, and looked at her tenderly: "Girl Xiao, don't worry, I have medicine on me."
Xiao Ni's original dark eyes brightened, as if the dying man had grabbed the last life-saving straw, murmured: "medicine...medicine..."
But Gu girl smiled, the gentle smile with a trace of interest, carelessly playing with the white jade plum pendant hanging on the waist.
Xiao Ni's heart sank in an instant, thinking of the scent of the gardenia, and the attitude of the other party at the moment.
Gu girl stood up, looked down at Xiao Ni, and slowly said, "I have a lot of medicine, and I can give it to you, just..."
Xiao Ni's body trembled even more, staring at the string of white jade plum pendants.
