don't fight the general

Cui Wei didn't expect that Yan Jing called him to stop him to ask such a question.Fortunately, he already had a certain understanding of this person, so he was not very surprised.I just frowned and looked at Yan Jing for a while, and didn't think about how to refute.How many confrontations with this person made Cui Wei very clear in his heart, when it comes to verbal disputes, he will never be the opponent of King Rui.

Finally, he changed his mind, and simply nodded towards Yan Jing: "Young master, you should change your clothes and have a rest early, and I will leave." The person stopped, and asked some obvious and inexplicable questions.

Yan Jing stared at the back of his head as he left in a hurry, feeling much better, sat down on the low couch with a smile on his face, and poured himself a cup of hot tea consciously.The charcoal basin in front of him was very hot, and with the hot tea, it gradually dispelled the chill on his body.

After half a cup of tea, the old village chief came back with a thick quilt in his arms, and said to Yan Jing: "If you want to say that the young master is really a good person, when the young master's subordinates just came, the young master took the initiative Propose, give up this main room and give it to your son to live in. Although this room looks a bit dilapidated, it is indeed the most spacious room in the old man's house."

Yan Jing was slightly surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He got up and bowed to the old village chief again: "Anyway, tonight is really too much trouble for the old man."

The old village chief quickly waved his hands: "Young master, don't be too polite. I saw that the clothes on the young master's body are very wet, so I should hurry up and change into a dry one, so as not to catch a cold. The old man is going to help prepare dinner, so I won't disturb the young master." Yes. You will change your clothes later, if you don’t think the food at the old man’s house is simple, you can come over and have some food together.”

Normally this kind of politeness should be rejected, but Yan Jing looked at the enthusiastic face of the old village chief, but nodded as if fascinated: "Okay."

The two accompanying guards also brought over Yan Jing's belongings. Yan Jing rummaged through a pile of complicated robes, and finally chose a slim-fitting round-neck robe with small sleeves to put on, and untied it by the way. The long hair, which was mostly wet, was carefully brushed and tied up again. With this attire, it was a bit more refreshing and capable than usual.

"My lord," the door was knocked lightly, and the voice of the guard came, "Your Highness, we have borrowed the kitchen from the village chief, and prepared some food, we can eat now."

"Huh?" Yan Jing got up and opened the door, "Didn't we agree to go with the village chief and his family?"

"You, you really..." The guards hesitated a little. Anyway, Yan Jing is the prince, and it was a helpless move to come to this small village to avoid the rain, but he had to pay attention to his diet.

"Why not?" Yan Jing glanced at him and said lightly, "Take the prepared food along with you."

The guard had been by Yan Jing's side for a while, and he knew that this person had a weird temper and couldn't be deduced according to common sense, so he stopped questioning and bowed back.

The rain outside gradually subsided, Yan Jing pushed open the door of the outer room, watched the pattering rain for a while, and by the way looked at the courtyard that I had just had time to look at in the future.In Yan Jing's view, the yard is indeed very simple, and the main house behind him is only a few rooms, the yard is not too big, and there are a few domestic animals raised, are there any people who are locked up and wander around? poultry.

Yan Jing felt a bit of warmth from it, and thought of something, a little smile appeared on her lips, she opened the umbrella by the door, and walked towards the next room.

Although the old village head's house is not big, there are three generations of grandparents and grandchildren living under the same roof, so an outside room was specially set up next to the kitchen, and the whole family eats together on weekdays.When Yan Jing entered the door, he found that the dining table had been set, and everyone, old and young, had already sat down and chatted lively. Among the unfamiliar faces, there was a face that Yan Jing had gradually become familiar with during this time, sitting sideways at the dining table Beside—bending the corners of the eyes and smiling, listening to a child who looks no more than six or seven years old?

It may be because the overall atmosphere is so harmonious that Yan Jing inexplicably felt that the smiling Cui Wei looked a little gentle at this moment, so he couldn't help but look a few more times before turning to the old village chief who had already got up , nodded slightly.

Perhaps because the whole family was present, the old village chief was a little more kind than enthusiastic. With a smile on his face, he pointed to the empty seat next to Cui Wei: "Sir, let's sit next to the young master. They are all old family members, so please don’t look outside, my lord.”

Yan Jing nodded. It was rare that he didn't mind the arrangement of the old village chief. He walked up to Cui Wei reservedly, and when he sat down, he just heard the child say to Cui Wei very excitedly: "Brother, brother, I can really watch it later." Do you see your sword?"

Cui Wei rolled his eyes with a smile, reached out and touched the top of the child's head: "Of course, but you have to eat obediently first."

The child nodded vigorously, and immediately picked up his rice bowl: "Okay."

The old village chief couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene, and explained: "Huzi likes the stories about knights and swordsmen in the story books the most. I just saw the young master's sword, so I just ignored it. It's rare that the young master doesn't think he's noisy."

Cui Wei shook his head lightly: "When I was this old, I used to pester my elder sister all day long, letting her play with me and teach me how to practice sword."

"It turned out to be like this. I thought it was because the young master had children at home, so he was so patient." The child's grandmother put a piece of meat in his bowl, and turned around to start a conversation with Cui Wei, "My brat usually He is most afraid of strangers, it is rare to see him clinging to others like this."

"No, I'm the youngest in the family, and I haven't played with the children before." Cui Wei said, and suddenly laughed again, with a pair of clear eyes showing a bit of hidden shyness, "But I'm going to be an uncle soon, I wonder if my nephew will like me."

"At the young master's age, and with such a kind and kind appearance, children like it the most." The old village head continued with a smile, "It's raining heavily today, and it's getting dark early. Otherwise, Huzi will definitely call all his little friends here, and the young master will probably become the king of children by then."

Cui Wei imagined that scene for a while, turned his head to look at the children who were eating seriously beside him, and couldn't help laughing again.

Yan Jing has been eating quietly, perhaps because he has a face that rejects people thousands of miles away, and looks so inaccessible when he doesn't speak, so except for the old village chief, this The people at the table were not so daring to talk to him, and Yan Jing didn't mind. When the old village chief spoke to him, he replied, and spent most of the rest of the time listening to other people chatting.

In fact, it was just a short chat among some parents, and many of the topics revolved around Cui Wei, but Yan Jing listened very seriously. He even clearly disagreed with many topics about Cui Wei, but for the first time he controlled his mouth and did not agree with it. There was no rebuttal.

Because Yan Jing didn't want to spoil this atmosphere, he knew that this was the real family banquet, which was completely different from the luxurious but indifferent ones he had experienced in the palace before, where everyone had their own ghosts.Everyone here is at ease, you don't have to speculate on the deep meaning of their words, and you don't have to worry about whether he has ulterior motives, let alone argue about right or wrong in the conversation.You can participate in their chats and laugh with them, or you can just eat and listen quietly like Yan Jing is doing now, and you can feel the warmth and comfort in it.

Because of Cui Wei's promise first, the kid named Hu Zi ate up his meal very quickly, and brought an empty bowl to Cui Wei: "Brother, brother, look, I'm done eating."

Because Cui Wei has been in the army all year round, he eats very quickly, put down the bowl and chopsticks and nodded lightly: "Okay, I will show you my sword." After finishing speaking, he glanced at the old village chief and nodded slightly, Then he led the tiger out of the door.

The rain outside has completely stopped, and the dark clouds have dissipated, revealing the shaded moonlight, adding a bit of tranquility and tenderness to the small courtyard.Cui Wei went back to his room to take the sword, and simply took Huzi to play in the yard.

The children were very interested in Cui Wei's sword, and touched the scabbard, wishing to see every detail carefully.Cui Wei also let him look generously, but shook his head when he tried to open the scabbard, as if hesitating for a moment, but said firmly: "Don't open it."

Since just now, Cui Wei has always been a big brother who is very talkative. At this moment, he suddenly refused, which made Huzi stunned, and couldn't help curling his lips: "Why?"

Cui Wei frowned slightly, as if he wanted to explain, when he suddenly heard a cold voice behind him: "If you don't want to, why bother to agree to someone just now, because the other party is young so he doesn't have to keep his promise?"

Cui Wei turned his head and saw that Yan Jing had finished his meal at some point, and was leaning on the pillar at the door looking at the two of them. He hesitated for a moment, but explained: "I have been carrying this sword since I started practicing martial arts. It would be nothing if it was in the early years. In the past few years, I have killed the enemy and charged into the battle. I don’t know how to use it..." He licked his lips, glanced at Hu Zi, and didn't finish the second half of the sentence, "That sword is stained with too much killing. , somewhat ominous."

Yan Jing looked at him with her arms folded for a while, understood the deep meaning of his words, frowned and glanced at the sword in his hand, the sword was really stained with blood, including her own.He turned his head and raised his jaw towards the guard not far away: "Go to my room and bring my sword and show it to the children."

The guard was stunned for a moment, looked at the child, then at Cui Wei who was equally astonished, and finally came back to his senses, clasped his fists and responded, "Yes."

Yan Jing leaned back on the pillar again, and said to Hu Zi: "Your brother's sword looks so shabby, what's so good about it. You might as well ask him to dance a sword for you, which is worse than looking at the blade of the sword. Much more worth it."
