Rebirth of the First General

It is. ”

Wenxuan was still in shock, and replied in a low voice: "We are going out of the city, and the envoy has worked hard all the way!"

Tang Ji understood another meaning, clasped his fists and said, "Waiting for the frontier is the job of a general, and it's not a hardship."

Tang Jinian was [-] years younger than Wenxuan, who was also a second-rank general. In Dingbei, there was only one second-rank general at this age.Lin Jue looked at him and smiled slightly, then looked at Gu Jiayi on the right side of the frame, and said, "Junior Chiayi is fine."

This move made everyone look at Gu Jiayi.

Gu Jiayi cupped his fists at Tang Ji and Wen Xuan, who were considered outsiders, "Your Colonel Gu Jiayi has seen the two generals!"

Wen Xuan didn't know him, but he was the envoy's younger brother, so he wanted to save face.

He rubbed his chin again and said, "Well, the young man is very energetic!"

"Brother Guan?" Tang Ji called out Gu Jiayi's baby name, his face full of surprise.Although the letter from the family said that Gu Jiayi had changed from literature to martial arts, Tang Ji did not expect such a big change in his little cousin.

Gu Jiayi smiled heartily and called out, "Big cousin."

"En." Tang Ji responded, with a hint of joy in his eyes. "I'll find you later."

After Tang Ji finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Lin Yu and Du Xiuqi, with a serious and upright look again, "Thank you, my lord, and General Du for taking care of me all the way."

Du Xiuqi shook his head with a smile, "Thank you! Let's arrange for the soldiers behind. We are still on the horse, and many people have gone all the way."

Lin Yu frowned slightly, and then nodded to get to the point, "I trouble the two generals to arrange the food, grass and supplies, and there are still soldiers who haven't rested for a long time."

Wen Xuan dragged a dozen or so civil servants behind, and let them and Du Xiuqi watch the people behind, while he and Tang Ji led Lin Yu to the city.

During the pause of the army, the people in the city also knew the arrival of the reward army, and they rushed out of the gate one after another, crowding on both sides of the main road in the city.

On both sides of the main road in the city are soldiers who have been arranged in advance. Their duty is to prevent accidents from happening.

Lin Yu got on a horse and walked beside Wen Xuan.Tang Ji was a little behind, walking side by side with Gu Jiayi.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, Tang Ji asked Gu Jiayi, "Brother Guan, how is your family?"

Naturally, Tang Ji asked the Gu and Tang families.Gu Jiayi replied: "My father and mother are very good. Grandpa is also healthy and can eat better than me. My uncle seems to be more plump, and my aunt rarely goes out. The second cousin and the younger cousin are also very good."

"Father is a glutton, no one can control it." Tang Ji nodded, with a slight smile on his stern face. "Brother Guan has grown up. He is taller and darker. He is very masculine."

Gu Jiayi was stunned. In his memory, his elder cousin Tang Ji rarely praised these juniors. He was a little uncomfortable at the moment, but he was very happy in his heart, and he giggled twice.

At this time, a horse in the rear team neighed loudly, and the screaming screamed, which aroused fear in many people, and the surrounding area became chaotic in an instant.

The soldiers on both sides tried their best to maintain order, but the strength of the horse's madness was not something ordinary people could resist.

Tang Ji and Gu Jiayi looked at each other seriously, and Gu Jiayi said: "I'll go, you stay." After finishing speaking, he rode his horse back, jumped over obstacles on the narrow side passage and went back nimbly.

Just as Gu Jiayi was rushing back, a long sword glowing with cold light was inserted into the head of the mad horse, splashing blood red.

The person who stabbed the sword was stared at by everyone, but he was dissatisfied with being splashed with blood, and a smile appeared on his face.

☆, banquet

Tian Wanshi suddenly pulled out his long sword, his white clothes were stained with blood-colored red flowers, and his face seemed to be smiling but not smiling. This scene is so good that it can make a little girl cry.

The people were stunned by Tian Wan's actions, which made the road less obstructed, and Gu Jiayi came over faster.He jumped off his horse, clasped his fists to the Dingbei soldiers guarding on both sides, and said, "Please, brothers, drag this crazy horse down and leave it for disposal. If anyone in the crowd is injured, we will also be responsible for the money for medical treatment and medicine." .”

Gu Jiayi was an official of the seventh rank, and he had been side by side with a second rank general like Tang Ji before. While speaking, someone evacuated the crowded crowd and dragged the dead horse out.

His words also meant that he was responsible for the accident, and no one had much opinion, so the last one who was still in a daze was the fellow who rewarded the soldiers in the army.

Among this group of people, Tian Wan is the most eye-catching one, and Wan is a bit white in plaster.

Seeing that his clothes were dirty, Gu Jiayi smiled like a convulsion, and asked him, "Is that your horse?"

Tian Wan nodded, "It's my master's."

He was not injured by the horse, but his skill was pretty good.Gu Jiayi praised it in his heart, but he was a little hesitant to Tian Wan's words, and thought that Lin Yu and Tang Ji were still standing in front, so he said perfunctorily: "Why your horse went crazy is not clear for the time being. But since it is not injured , change horses and move on.”

When it came to moving on, Gu Jiayi purposely raised his voice so that the people behind could hear him.

When Gu Jiayi patted his horse and left, the horses and soldiers behind followed suit.

Tian Wan stood aside, surrounded by his servants, and the two had only one horse.Unlike Gu Jiayi, who still had a bit of prestige in the rewarding army, the only people who knew Tian Wan were those in Sima Chu, and besides, Tian Wan didn't hold real power, so no one took care of him.

Watching the army slowly move forward, Tian Wan had no choice but to ride on the poor servant's horse, and went forward with resentment.

At this time, Gu Jiayi also returned to the front. Tang Ji saw that he came back quickly, fearing that he might mishandle it, so he asked him: "Whose horse? What's going on?"

Gu Jiayi said: "It seems to be that boy from the Shangshu family, surnamed Tian, ​​who serves as the commander-in-chief in the army."

Tang Ji had already received the letter about rewarding a dozen or so official sons in the army, but the matter was so strange that he didn't even guess the reason.The surname is Tian, ​​so it should belong to the household secretary's family, not my uncle's school.

Tang Ji shook his head in his heart, he didn't expect his little cousin to be so ignorant that he didn't even remember which minister's surname.

He worriedly asked: "Brother Guan, I'll bring you something later, and you recited it for me. Go back and have uncle check it."

Gu Jiayi nodded honestly, and then said in a negotiating tone: "Big cousin, can you not call me by your baby name?"

At first, he didn't notice Tang Ji's calling, but now he noticed, so naturally he couldn't let him continue calling.Brother, but they are all called little dolls.

A smile appeared on Tang Ji's face, and he said helplessly, "Yes. It's called Chiayi."

Except for Tian Wan, the rest of the journey went smoothly.

Wen Xuan and Tang Ji took everyone to live in the spare camp and arranged everything.

Before leaving, Wen Xuan said to Lin Yu: "The old marshal said that there will be a banquet in the mansion tonight, please take people there to be lively."

It was still early at this time, and there was still time to rest for the banquet in the evening. Lin Yu smiled softly and said, "Don't think that I will bring too many people then."

Wenxuan laughed, feeling that this young envoy was very suitable for him, and said, "I will never dislike it, just let me be full!" while reaching out to pat Lin Yu's shoulder.

Seeing Wenxuan's hand slapping up quickly, Gu Jiayi's arm came out of nowhere, blocking him.

Afraid that Wenxuan would do something offensive again, Tang Ji, who knew Lin Yu's identity at first glance, went to Wenxuan to leave.

After leaving the camp specially vacated for rewarding soldiers and horses, Wen Xuan smiled and made a gesture to Tang Ji that Du Xiuqi had made before, and said with a smile: "Why are you pulling me, I still want to get close, So that the adult can bring more food in the future. The food delivered this time has almost doubled."

Tang Ji's face was ugly, and he gave him a cold look, "That's the prince."

Wen Xuan was dumbfounded.

At the same moment, in the camp, Lin Jue looked at Gu Jiayi, who had a gloomy complexion, with a funny face, "General Wen is just used to shooting people, so don't make it so obvious next time."

Lin Yu's voice was soft, and Gu Jiayi felt his face turn red, and explained weakly, "Wenxuan is very strong."

He was so straightforward that Lin Yu felt reasonable.

Feeling relieved for a while, Lin Yu said with a slight smile: "We are the same gentleman, so you don't have to be so restrained. If you have any doubts or difficulties, you can come to me, and you can call me senior brother in private."

"Maybe we will stay in Dingbei for a long time."

"Because of my selfishness, I have caused you to be unable to go home."

After Xu Xu finished speaking, Lin Yu looked directly at Gu Jiayi.

But Lin Yu's sudden closeness made Gu Jiayi quite frightened.He blinked and realized that the person in front of him was real, and then nodded quickly with his brain that was about to shut down.

Lin Yu patted him on the shoulder again, "Don't talk about this with others, go down and rest."

The moon was dark and the wind was high at night, and the night in Dingbei seemed to be colder than the night on the way back, but thinking about having wine and meat, the hearts of those who went to the Marshal's Mansion with Lin Xuan were very hot.

Gu Jiayi walked beside Lin Yu, still a little dizzy.

Gu Jiayi knew from the time when Jiang Jiu made a fuss in Xiashan City that Lin Jue believed him, but what he guessed was always different from what he saw and came into contact with with his own eyes.

Gu Jiayi thought that at most Lin Zhen thought he was a trustworthy subordinate like Du Xiuqi, but he didn't expect to be able to use his master to get closer.brother?junior?

Thinking wildly all the way, the distance became shorter, and he entered the Marshal's Mansion in a blink of an eye.

The stone lions in front of the mansion were as burly as ever, the guards at the gate were veterans who had nowhere to go, the spacious Marshal's mansion was still plain, and the tables and chairs for banqueting guests were still the same set of black lacquer.

Lin Jue led everyone to sit down amid Marshal Lin Kangze's hearty laughter.

Lin Kangze was in his prime, with a full beard, a bright and thoughtful personality.With a sincere tone, he said in a loud voice: "Tonight's banquet is to thank and reward the many soldiers of the army for their hard work all the way to the north. Lin doesn't say much, everyone eats and drinks well, and you won't return if you don't get drunk!"

Someone below shouted: "Okay! Do it!" The atmosphere became lively.

Lin Kangze also picked up the wine glass, and gave a half-respect to Lin Jue with neither humble nor overbearing hands, and then drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

☆, fish soup

Lin Jue had a rest in the afternoon, and he was full of energy at the moment. He toasted to drink up, and then lit the bottom of the cup to the upper seat.

The bright candlelight reflected a blush at the bottom of the cup, and the banquet was already filled with the fragrance of wine and meat.

In this dinner, on one side were the frontier soldiers who were worried about food and grass, and on the other side were those who rewarded the army after running all the way and finally had a rest. You came and went, and the two sides celebrated.

In the end, even Gu Jiayi was a little bit drunk, and this was on the premise that he was thinking about not drinking too much. This also shows how contagious the excitement of the night was.

Everyone was full of wine and food, and they all helped each other out of the Marshal's Mansion in small groups.The soldiers on Lin Yu's side also had vehicles specially prepared to see them off.

Du Xiuqi sent the man to the gate of the Marshal's Mansion, greeted Du San, and asked him to send him back.He turned around and entered the mansion again, but his master Lin Yu hadn't left yet.

In the empty hall, Lin Kangze still smelled mellow and intoxicating, but his mind was absolutely clear.As soon as everyone left the table, he gave up his seat and saluted Lin Xuan.

Lin Kangze fought all his life and suffered numerous injuries when he was young, but he has been sticking to the frontier since he was old.Such a veteran, only the emperor is qualified to receive his full ceremony, and Lin Yu claims that he is not qualified.Therefore, he hurriedly stepped forward to support Lin Kangze who was about to bend over, and said, "Marshal Lin is so polite, how can the boy accept your courtesy."

Seeing his sincerity, Lin Kangze didn't shirk, got up, and wanted to invite Lin Xuan to the seat.

Sitting in the seat of Lin Kangze's Marshal's Mansion was no different from asking him to salute, but Lin Yu flatly refused.

Lin Kangze wanted to say more, but Lin Yu sat back on the first seat on the left and looked at him with a smile.

Lin Kangze's scalp tingled, the prince is not easy to fool.He turned his back, scratched his chin that was hidden deep in his beard, and finally sat opposite Lin Yu, on the first seat on the right.

Lin Yu poured himself a cup of tea slowly, and then asked seriously: "How does Marshal Lin think of Beiman?"

"Beiman is my natural enemy of Chu, the candy that can't be torn off, the wild wolf lamb that can't be beaten." Lin Kangze sighed.

Lin Yu asked: "Why can't I beat them all?"

Lin Kangze replied: "The northern land is vast, and the northern barbarians have no fixed place to live. These are two of the reasons."

This is the obvious answer, knowing it but helpless.

The northern land is vast, and it is impossible for the soldiers of the Great Chu to find the northern barbarians in the boundless area. The northern barbarians also lived on herding, and seldom planted them. Wherever the horses are, they will go there.

How can such enemies be wiped out? They are more like weeds on the prairie, they can be reborn when the spring breeze blows.

It can be said that when there was a great Chu, there were northern barbarians.Great Chu defended the country and defended the frontiers. The northern barbarians also wanted to occupy the rich land of Great Chu and completely get rid of the dilemma of no fixed place.The problem between Da Chu and the northern barbarians is inherently irreconcilable.

From the founding of the Great Chu to the present, for more than [-] years, no emperor has eliminated the northern barbarians and completely unified the northern land.The most powerful one in history is the large army swinging in, which only made the northern barbarians stop for a few more years.

So Lin Kangze looked at the indifferent Chu Jun opposite, a little confused why he asked such nonsense.

"How much does the Marshal know about the Northern Barbarian court?" Lin Yu asked again.

Lin Kangze was eagerly waiting: "The King of the Northern Man is only in his forties this year, and his body is still in good health. At least in the next ten years, the interior of the Northern Man will be very stable."

Lin Yu said: "There is no chaos, you can create chaos. The northern barbarian king only wants to strengthen his army and attack Dachu. In recent years, it should be very obvious. If God didn't give me face last year, the cold winter came very early, I am afraid there will be action."

Lin Kangze nodded, the situation of Beiman is indeed like this.

Seeing that he agreed, Lin Yu went on to say: "The King of the Northern Man has three concubines and countless heirs, and there are always one or two who want to get along with a strong neighbor like Da Chu."

This is the biggest difference between generals and politicians.Military generals are invincible brave men, but politicians have terrifying schemes. Lin Kangze also felt a chill in his body.But then I thought about it, the strife between the northern barbarians could bring stability to the soldiers and civilians in Dingbei for many years, but the price that needs to be paid is much less than the price paid by the emperor of the prosperous age when he marched northward.

Cost-effective!

Lin Kangze made a judgment in his heart.

"What do you want, Your Highness?"

Lin Yu shook the teacup lightly: "I heard that the grain yield per mu in Beidi is not high, my father ordered me to come and have a look, and I will spend some time in Dingbei."

Lin Kangze frowned, "His Highness's identity?"

"Marshal, whatever you want, anyway, it will take several months for the news from Kyoto to come." Lin Yan smiled, and got up to adjust the cloak on his body.

Seeing this, Du Xiuqi bowed to Lin Kangze and cupped his fists, said goodbye neatly, turned around and followed Lin Kang to leave.

When they walked away, Lin Kangze complained to Wenxuan and the others: "Tsk tsk, the soldiers sent out, the water poured out,"

Wenxuan: It was my daughter who spilled it...

***

When Lin Yu returned to the camp, Baxi had fallen asleep bored.

Lin Yu patted him on the shoulder this time.

Without him, Baxi fell asleep lying on the table, if he was allowed to sleep all night, he would definitely get sick tomorrow.

Baxi muttered in a daze, rubbed his eyes, saw the person clearly, and said pleasantly, "Master, you're back."

Lin Yu responded softly, and said softly, "Go to bed and sleep."

Ba Xi half-closed his eyes and nodded, then suddenly became excited again. "Hangover soup!"

Pressing his forehead with his thumb, Lin Yu felt a little swollen. He thought it would be better to drink some hangover soup tomorrow. "Go and carry it."

Baxi frantically brought over warm and fish soup, and a strong smell of ginger came to his nostrils.

Lin Yu: "When was it replaced with fish soup?"

"It was taught by Captain You. I asked the military doctor, and he said it was useful." Baxi stared at Lin Yu's hand holding the soup, fearing that his master would dislike him and secretly change it.

Lin Jue drank half of the bowl, handed the bowl to Baxi, and immediately hit his head with the empty shou, "I drank it, you go to sleep. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't grow taller."

Baxi hummed twice and went back to the tent next door.

Lin Yu lay down in the soft quilt, and sighed comfortably due to the warmth of Mrs. Tang.

The delicious taste of the fish soup seemed to still linger in my mouth, and an idea popped up in my heart.His new junior brother should be as stupid as Baxi, and he should be spoiled.

☆, ginseng

On the second day, Gu Jiayi got up early as before, fought two sets of punches with Jiang Jiu, and after breakfast, he planned to leave the city.

Tang Ji was looking for Gu Jiayi just before he left the camp.

Gu Jiayi was already as tall as Tang Ji, and he greeted with a smile, "Hello big cousin!"

Tang Ji nodded, not knowing what to say for a moment.He looked at Gu Jiayi standing in front of him, with handsome eyebrows and sharp-edged face, he already looked like an adult.

"What are you going to do today? I'll show you around the city." Tang Ji asked.

Thinking of his plan, and the streets and alleys of Dingbei City that he was so familiar with, Gu Jiayi scratched his head and said in embarrassment: "I have something to do this afternoon, I have an appointment with someone else. In the morning, please cousin take me to buy some Dingbei Specialties."

Tang Ji led Gu Jiayi out of the camp on horseback, and couldn't help nagging on the road, "Don't go to the land of flowers and willows."

Gu Jiayi: ...

****

To be honest, there is nothing to see in Dingbei City. Compared with the exquisite pavilions elsewhere, this place obviously has a sense of simplicity and vicissitudes.But as soon as you step into the main street where people come and go, you will see people with smiles on the street, setting up stalls and shouting, and suddenly the whole city comes alive because of these simple people.

Gu Jiayi originally thought that he would not be interested, but he led the horse along and hung a lot of things on the horse.

After walking the main street, Tang Ji took Gu Jiayi to another few streets.Compared with the hustle and bustle of the main street, these streets are more like the life of ordinary people.From time to time, there are little dolls running around, rushing over and over, laughing and laughing around the tall horses and pedestrians.

When Gu Jiayi saw those children, he remembered that he had been pushed to tomorrow in his plan.He raised his head and said in embarrassment: "I was going to see my sister-in-law and Brother Qing tomorrow, they won't be angry, right?"

Tang Ji smiled, "Usually I don't see them, I thought you couldn't remember them. Tomorrow will be tomorrow, just a little bit of preparation, let your sister-in-law cook you some good dishes."

In fact, Tang Ji's wife, Gu Jiayi, is really not very familiar with him. When he went to Dingbei in his previous life, Tang Ji's family went to Southland, so he happened to miss it.In the days that followed, he rarely returned to the capital, and he would not have any interaction with a boudoir woman.On the contrary, Tang Ji's son, Brother Qing, still had some impressions of him as a tough brat.

Gu Jiayi nodded, and said: "Mother and grandfather have prepared things for sister-in-law and brother Qing, and I will take them there tomorrow."

"That brat is really happy." Tang Ji obviously loved his son, and when he talked about Brother Qing, he smiled a little more.

Gu Jiayi recalled when he was a child, at that time Gu Ye was not the right minister, he was busy every day, his mother couldn't take care of him, so she sent him to Dingguo's mansion from time to time.At that time, it was Tang Ji who played with a group of children with them. He kept a straight face all day long, and when he saw that they were going too far, he would grab them and beat them with his hands, and he didn't stop until he knew they were wrong.

Gu Jiayi inexplicably sympathized with his eldest nephew, having such a father.I don't know how many beatings I will suffer.

He carefully avoided a child scurrying over, and said: "It's better for children to be naughty. Look at these little dolls, they are much stronger than those in the capital, and they don't seem to be sick."

Tang Ji disagreed, "You still have to fight, otherwise you won't be able to remember things. Like you and brother Kai, that's how they came here. They are much better than those dudes."

Gu Jiayi coughed and coughed twice, thinking that he had been very well-behaved in the past ten years, honest and obedient.

Tang Ji suppressed his smile in his chest, and continued to take Gu Jiayi for a stroll in a serious manner.

At noon, Gu Jiayi urged Tang Ji to go back to the house for dinner, walked around by himself, and entered a restaurant by name.

This restaurant is not well-known in Dingbei. It was opened by Mrs. Lin Kangze, and Gu Jiayi came here to deal with the things he bought on the street.

After lunch in the restaurant, Gu Jiayi left the city gate and rushed away.He originally planned to leave the city in the morning, so that he could return to the city in the afternoon, but now he was delayed until noon, so he had to speed up.

In the evening, Gu Jiayi, whose clothes were torn in several places and carrying a dusty cloth bag, rushed into the city before the city gate closed and headed straight for the new camp.

What he carried on his back was a bag of ginseng, not much in quantity, but because the roots were intact and covered with soil, it was quite heavy.

Wait until the camp.Gu Jiayi felt a little sore on one side of his body, but the ginseng in the bag still needed to be processed, and he still had to go to the military doctor.

The military doctor who treated Lin Yu looked at the bag of ginseng happily, his eyes were more enthusiastic than the hungry wolf seeing the lamb, and felt that it could emit light.

The military doctor stretched out his wrinkled hands in disbelief, peeled away the wet part of the soil, pulled off a very thin ginseng tendril, and bit it into his mouth.

After thinking about it for a while, the military doctor said: "Good ginseng, the ginseng taste is very strong, nourishing and high-grade. But this ginseng, I don't know where the captain picked it?"

"I read it in the book. Since the barren mountain really has this ginseng, I will let someone tell Marshal Lin tomorrow." Most of the doctors who served in the army have a sincere heart. As soon as the military doctor opened his mouth, Gu Jiayi knew that he wanted What is it.

He brought back five ginseng trees, but Lin Jue could use only a little, and he picked more to show Lin Kangze and the others, to convince them that the barren hill was suitable for growing ginseng.

Because both of them have the same purpose, Gu Jiayi also explained to the military doctor very heartily.

The military doctor nodded in satisfaction, remembered some things, and said solemnly: "I will definitely make up for the envoy. But my lord is busy every day, so I use my mind too much, and I will definitely hurt my roots in the future."

Using God too much?How can he control it?

Gu Jiayi was a little discouraged immediately, looked down at the ginseng on the ground, and comforted himself that some supplements are better than none.

"Let's do it first, thank you."

Gu Jiayi thanked the military doctor and went to his tent.

In front of his tent, Duan Wenwen and Yang Baizheng were boredly watching Uncle An soaking the bear skin, when he saw Gu Jiayi approaching from a distance, he waved to him in surprise.

Duan Wen slapped Gu Jiayi with a bear's paw, and he didn't care about the dirty places. He pulled him and said, "Chiayi, you are too unreliable. You ran out to play alone. I heard that you were brought by General Tang." , why don't you let the big cousin take us? Are you still brothers?"

Gu Jiayi was stunned by the question, he dodged to hide behind Yang Bai, took a breath and said: "Brother Duan! Who doesn't treat you as a brother, I went out to buy something, and then told my cousin to take you two together Going to visit."

Duan Wen didn't believe it, "Just lie to me, I won't go."

Yang Bai also said in a daze, "I'm not going either, I'm not familiar yet."

Yang Bai's father is the imperial censor, a typical civil official; as for Duan Wen, this kid can still be regarded as a relative of the emperor; but no matter the civil official or eunuch, in order to avoid the emperor's suspicion, he has little contact with the military officer, so Yang Bai said Unfamiliarity said.

Gu Jiayi smiled at Duan Wen and the two, "Aren't they brothers! My cousin is your cousin!"

☆、Visit the Tang Mansion

Seeing the smile on Gu Jiayi's face, Duan Wen shuddered behind his back: "Don't be kidding, didn't you really go?"

Gu Jiayi smiled and nodded at him, "My eldest nephew is five years old this year, you elders, remember to bring gifts."

"I'll go prepare things, you guys chat slowly." Yang Bai patted Duan Wen's shoulder sympathetically.

Duan Wen glanced at Gu Jiayi, glared at him, and hurriedly chased after Yang Bai. There were not any things in his place that were suitable for giving away, so he had to find Yang Baihe to figure it out.

Gu Jiayi watched the two flee, and touched his nose unkindly.

Uncle An snickered at the side, and when Gu Jiayi approached, he found the hole in Gu Jiayi's clothes.

"Where did you go again?" Uncle An asked.

Gu Jiayi chuckled, "I didn't hunt, so I went for a run outside the city, and then walked around the mountain."

"There are beasts on the mountain." Uncle An said concisely.

Gu Jiayi nodded repeatedly, expressing that he knew Uncle An's worries.

After squatting down to check the condition of the bear hide, Gu Jiayi raised his head and asked with some pride: "Tomorrow, it will be air-dried and then nitrated. The raw hide can be turned into cooked hide. Am I right?"

Uncle An looked at him and smiled, patted his shoulder, and remained silent again.

After watching the bear skin, Gu Jiayi remembered the things he bought in the morning, and asked Uncle An, "Uncle An, did someone send you something? I bought it on the street with my big cousin in the morning."

Uncle An pointed to the tent, indicating that things were inside.

By the time Gu Jiayi searched here and there to get things ready, it was already getting late.And the things found, all kinds of brocade boxes, have accumulated a lot.

Taking a deep breath and moving his shoulders uncomfortably, Gu Jiayi felt that he was exhausted today, and then remembered what Jiang Jiu said about starting more training in two days, and suddenly felt that life was hopeless, so he decided to see Duke Zhou early for comfort.

After a good night's sleep, after Gu Jiayi's morning exercise on the second day, he went to pick up Duan Wen from the bed as agreed, and the two went to Yang Bai's place together.

Yang Bai is self-disciplined, so he got ready early, and the three of them took the carriage to the Tang Mansion located in the west corner of the city.

The Tang Mansion occupies a small area, but it is quite generous and tidy. The overall layout is as rigid as Tang Ji, but the details reveal the delicate gentleness of the daughter's house.

The three of Gu Jiayi crossed the double courtyard gate before entering the main hall.

Tang Ji sat on the main seat, and there was a chubby little man nestled in the large seat below, dressed in red brocade clothes, with white and tender skin, like a porcelain doll painted with red paint.

Seeing the three of Gu Jiayi coming in, Xiaowa jumped off the chair, ran in front of Yang Bai, threw himself into his arms, turned around and shouted at Tang Ji, "Is this my Uncle Chiayi?"

Yang Bai was full of embarrassment, Gu Jiayi bent down and tapped the little guy's nose, teasing him: "You guessed wrong, guess again."

The little guy blinked, he has a pair of big eyes, and when he blinks, he looks very smart and cute, "Don't try to lie to me, you are about the same age as Dad, you must not be Uncle Chiayi."

Duan Wen couldn't help laughing out loud, and after laughing, he said to the host's house: "Don't blame General Tang for taking the liberty to visit."

Yang Bai was hugged by Brother Qing with one leg, and he also stretched out his hand to support the little guy. At this time, he also raised his head and smiled apologetically.Said: "Hello, General Tang."

Gu Jiayi pulled the little guy off Yang Bai, lifted him high, and faced Tang Ji: "Look! You are taller than your father."

Brother Qing yelled, "So tall, so tall!"

Gu Jiayi continued to talk to him: "Let's be tall, next time you recognize me, you can still be taller than your father. I am your Chiayi uncle, and there are other uncles over there."

Tang Ji stood up, took the excited little guy from Gu Jiayi, and nodded politely to Duan Wenwen and Yang Bai: "You're welcome, we all came from Kyoto, and when we get here, we feel like we're at our own home, as thick as Guan Geer You have a good face."

"Brother Guan? Chiayi's baby name?" Duan Wen asked with a smile.

Gu Jiayi rushed forward and strangled Duan Wen's neck, "I have asked about your baby name." After speaking, he looked at Tang Ji again: "Big cousin, be careful, I will teach Brother Qing to call you Brother Ji."

Brother Qing laughed crisply: "Brother Qing, Brother Guan, Brother Ji."

The child is so cute, Yang Bai laughed out loud looking at him.

Tang Ji's face darkened, he patted Brother Qing's butt, and put him on the ground: "Go to your mother and tell her that there are three uncles here, all of whom are big eaters."

Tang Ji was a serious person on the face, even Gu Jiayi never thought that he would hurt them like this in front of his son, just like a child.

Duan Wen coughed twice, trying his best to maintain his stable aura, and put a round jade pendant on Brother Qing, "I'm Uncle Duan Wen, this is a meeting gift for you."

"Hello, Uncle Duan!" Brother Qing shouted sweetly, and then ran to Yang Bai, who was hugged by him at the beginning.The little guy took out a handful of nuts from his small pocket, blocked it with his small body, and secretly stuffed it into Yang Bai's hand.

A pair of sparkling eyes looked at Yang Bai, "Little uncle, what about the meeting ceremony?"

Yang Bai squeezed the nut in his palm, and with one free hand, he took out a porcelain doll the size of a child's palm from his purse, and dangled it in front of the child.

Brother Qing grasped it tightly with one hand, and said pleasantly, "It seems like I'm all dressed in red."

Gu Jiayi glanced at the two braids on the porcelain doll's head, and couldn't help laughing, brother Qing still has time to stay like this.

He was smiling when Brother Qing ran up to him and slapped him.

Tang Ji looked helpless, "Jiayi, stop teasing him, give it to him quickly. This kid slept in late today and hasn't washed yet!"

Gu Jiayi smiled and gave the child a bag of copper coins that sounded like a clang, and made the child's most anticipated promise: "How about taking you out to play in the afternoon? Do you like Uncle Chiayi the most?"

Brother Qing nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and left happily.

Tang Ji rubbed his forehead, the little ancestor finally left.He waved his hand to greet everyone, "Sit down and drink tea."

Gu Jiayi nodded and sat on the right hand seat, while Duan Wen and Yang Bai sat on the left hand seat.

In front of the few people is the rare good tea in Dingbei, the tea color is quiet, and the tea leaves are floating on the water surface, like blue lotus flowers about to bloom, fluttering gently under the action of heat.It could be seen from the refreshments that Tang Ji attached great importance to it, and everyone couldn't help feeling a little more fond of Mrs. Tang who had never met before.

Although Tang Ji is not a warm-hearted person, he still has a lot of experience for the three of them who are new to the officialdom.The whole morning passed in the conversation of the four of them.

After this morning, Tang Ji discovered that Gu Jiayi was not only tall, but also his way of thinking.He has already been able to use the way of thinking of an official to deal with court affairs. When Duan Wenwen and Yang Bai were still in the fog, he could clearly catch up on the topic of Tang Ji, and even slightly pointed out that Duan Wenwen and Yang Baiban understood What I don't understand.

This morning was the biggest gain since the group traveled to Beiman. Duan Wenwen and Yang Bai also knew in advance that they were going to stay in Dingbei for a long time.

Not long after lunch, the three of Gu Jiayi and the others left the Tang Mansion, and brought Brother Qing along with them. He is a man of faith, and what he promises to Xiaowa must be counted.

☆, accident

As soon as he left the Tang Mansion, Brother Qing was like a wild horse released, pulling Gu Jiayi around.In fact, it’s not that the little guy hasn’t been out before, but Tang Ji usually takes him with him, holding him in case he loses him, and just watching him along the way, but like Gu Jiayi, as long as he leads someone, he can go wherever you want The method is still very fresh.

The vision of children is also obviously different from that of adults. Brother Qing will stop whenever he sees brightly colored food, and ask the boss for the price in a decent manner.At this time, the small bag of copper coins given by Gu Jiayi will be useful, as long as it does not exceed ten coins, the little guy can solve it by himself.

After visiting the nearest street to the Tang Mansion, Gu Jiayi held a few candy figurines in one hand, and Qing Geer, who was a little tired but happy in the other hand.

Gu Jiayi noticed that Brother Qing was walking more and more slowly, so he knelt down and discussed with him: "Brother Qing, you are tired, let's go back."

Brother Qing shook his head, took a sip of the sweet sugar figurine, then stuffed another untouched sugar figurine into Gu Jiayi's mouth, and said in relief: "Uncle Chiayi, take me to your military camp to see, I haven't been in yet."

Gu Jiayi pulled out the sugar figure stuffed into his mouth, "Is this a bribe? I refuse."

Brother Qing didn't understand what bribery was, but he still knew the word "rejection." He wrinkled his little nose and said coquettishly, "Brother Guan, take Qing brother there."

Gu Jiayi pretended to be cold, and looked at Brother Qing fiercely.

"Uncle is an elder, don't call him that."

Brother Qing smiled, "Take me there, you are not fierce at all."

Yang Bai and Duan Wen bit the sugar figurine from behind and laughed.

Brother Qing raised his head and showed off: "You are as fierce as Dad, you are a paper tiger. My mother is smart, she told me already."

Gu Jiayi rubbed his face, "Why are you so smart, I'll take you to play, but you have to be obedient."

Hearing that Gu Jiayi agreed, Brother Qing hugged him happily, "Let's go, let's go back and ride your horse. Your horse is still at my house."

Yang Bai leaned over to Duan Wen and said, "Brother Duan, Brother Qing is so cute, isn't he? By the way, your little one is also three years old, and he will be hugged when he returns to the capital."
