Everyone loves Huo Qubing

March [-]rd, peach blossoms, outing day, Shangsi Festival.

I squatted under the green willow tree, gnawed on the naan cakes made by my aunt, and stared into the distance.By the stream, the Wei family and the Su family set up camp with great interest.There was a sound of playfulness, and from here I could see the running figure of Chief Wei and the aunt chasing after her with a protruding belly.

There are some things that are invisible to the eye. For example, the uncle and the mother are newlyweds, you and I love each other all day long, and the mother cooks without repeating the dishes; for example, the brother-in-law brags that he defeated the enemy on the front line. There is no irreconcilable contradiction between the experience and the fact that he was sent to Daijun to do logistics.

For another example, the second uncle actually accepted Su Jia's invitation in his busy schedule, and the two of them came together to participate in this kind of Tang Mu Festival activity for the female relatives.

After returning from the front line, the second uncle took over the position of supervisor of Shanglin Garden as expected, and worked hard every day at the gate of Shanglin at three o'clock in the Weiyang period.For a workaholic like the second uncle, the emperor can't wait to break one into several pieces, and then he can sit back and relax and play around with peace of mind.So when Su Jia invited her second uncle to go out together, I wasn't the only one who was surprised.

That day in Xuanshi Hall, when my second uncle asked me to take me back to Weifu, the emperor expressed his intention exactly: I hope my second uncle will stay.

"Look, Zhongqing, after a battle is over, and the two servants leave at once, someone must take the place of Chengming Palace, and someone must take care of Shanglin Garden?" The cold-blooded emperor who just threw Jiangtun General Wang Hui into prison.

"But I still have to take care of Qu Bing." The second uncle's attitude was quite firm.

"Zhongqing's nephew is also my nephew, if you don't mind, how about the two of you living together in Weiyang Palace?" The emperor continued to extend his warm invitation, with the same posture as the one who yelled and threw domestic violence in front of Han Shuo a while ago. The emperor is like two different people.

I silently rolled my eyes for my second uncle.Sure enough, the second uncle replied, "Qubing has caused a lot of trouble for His Majesty in the past few months. It's better for me to take him home and take care of him."

The Son of Heaven scratched his head, and threw out a second excuse: "But my nephew's leg injury hasn't healed yet, so it's not suitable for walking."

"Chen's leg injury has healed early, and I almost left Weiyang Palace last night..." As soon as the words came out, I immediately stopped regretfully.Both of them turned their heads in unison, with an expression of "kids don't interrupt", which made me stare at the ground quickly.

So the final decision was negotiated that day, the second uncle took me back to the Weifu, and I had to be followed by a personal guard when I went out; the second uncle took over the Shanglin Garden, and the Chengming Palace was rotated by the uncle and another servant.Anyway, these things may not be compromised by the emperor, because the extra salary for an extra job is not much rank stone, and it may not be comparable to the rewards that the Queen Mother gave to the Wei family in normal times.

"In the future, Zhongqing will remember to bring his nephew to the palace." The emperor finally dropped this sentence.

"No." The second uncle replied respectfully.

I beg my second uncle, hoping that he will not really follow the holy will in this matter, and I don't want to come back to drink medicine and stop my feet.

"It's not peaceful in the palace recently, so don't go back to Taixue for now." My second uncle comforted me on the way home.

On the first night when I got home, I had a full meal of Guanzhong spicy chicken roasted by Da Jin Niang.Da Jinniang's cooking skills are a hundred times more delicious than those soups and watery medicinal meals made by the royal chef in the palace, so it didn't take long for me to gain weight again as if I was inflated.

When the weather was fine in winter, Cao Xiang came to Wei Mansion to visit me, and brought along my Fire Cloud Horse, bookcase, and the door amulet to enter and exit Weiyang.After Huoyun was carefully seasoned by the people in the princess mansion, the injury healed quickly, but the horse's body was almost covered with white hair, so the dark cross scar left on the buttocks was more eye-catching.

"It's no big deal. Anyway, it's a bloody horse that changes color. Why don't you paint it with white paint." The uncle who was playing cuju with Cao Xiang in the yard persuaded me when he saw me staring at the stables sullenly.

But that's not my concern.Since the Huoyun horse recovered from its injury, it has obviously lost its former docileness and obedience. At least it is not willing to lie down obediently and let me climb up.Even the second uncle, who is good at defense, spent a lot of effort, but he couldn't appease Huo Yun, who stomped his hooves and smelled fragrant when he touched the ground.

"Uncle will find you a new horse, can you give this horse back to uncle?" After several attempts, the second uncle wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

Reluctantly, I put my hand on Huoyun's hot rough black nose: "But sooner or later I will learn to mount a horse by myself, won't I?"

"That's true." The second uncle knelt down and tried to convince me, "Actually, uncle doesn't mind you stepping on the horse."

"But I mind." I turned around angrily, not looking at him.

The second uncle hugged me from behind, and his gentle voice sighed in my ear.

"What if you get hurt again?"

"I'll be careful myself."

"I will keep an eye out for suitable horses this year when purchasing."

"I just want Huoyun."

"Okay, it's all up to you." The second uncle's slightly raised ending voice came muffled through the back.

During the time I stayed in Weifu, I read the three military books of Sun, Wu, and Sima given to me by my second uncle several times, and borrowed several works such as "Sun Bin" to surround Wei and save Zhao, and "Gui Guzi" by Taoists in the pre-Qin period. I copied a lot of my experience, and got the opportunity to debate with several uncles, and was ridiculed by my uncle for "reading too much at one time, and I can't chew too much".

Da Jinniang likes to study cooking and flowers. She makes troubles in the front yard, and I study the art of war in the backyard, gesturing blindly with a sword.The Wei family has never asked why I live in Weiyang Palace, nor why all my things are left in the Princess Mansion.

The bodyguard assigned to me is from the Xiaoqi Battalion. I occasionally ask him to accompany me to do some things outside of his duties, such as practicing swords and playing football. He does perform well as a bodyguard during the rest of the time. If I stay in the room When I was studying in the house, this man would obediently stand at the gate of the Wei Mansion as the door god; as long as I stepped out of the house, even if I was traveling with Da Jin Niang in a carriage, he would follow me as a coachman, inseparable.At this moment, even though it is the Shangsi Festival, this person is leaning against the willow tree behind me, like a terracotta warrior holding a sword.In the past six months, I have gotten used to having one more person beside me. If I hadn't thought of this just now, I would hardly have noticed that he was still standing beside me.

A basin of cold water poured down the head, and the head of Wei's silver bell-like laughter came from above his head.

"Brother Qubing, don't think about things, splashing water is so fun, come and play with us."

As I was about to get up with my drenched hair, Jing Sheng and Yang Shi climbed onto me one after another.These two cubs were not only drowned by Chief Wei, but also got wet mud marks on their feet.

Not far away, a group of people approached, and one of them was leading the emperor's black horse.

"Where's Zhongqing?" the man in black asked.Today he is dressed in plain clothes and did not wear the Tongtian Crown. Presumably he slipped out of the palace pretending to be Pingyang Marquis Cao Shi.

Auntie Fu said: "Back to Junhou, sister Su Jia left something in the mansion, Qing'er will accompany her to pick it up, and she will be back soon."

After hearing this, the Son of Heaven was a bit annoyed, but was soon overshadowed by the joy of the princesses jumping up and cheering and shouting "Daddy".

Uncle Su led Su Wu over, and the two bowed deeply to the Son of Heaven.

"Your Majesty, the dog has something to ask today." Uncle Su said respectfully.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" The emperor joyfully handed the water-covered Yangshi cousin back to the wet nurse.

Unlike in the past when he was laughing and relaxed, Su Wu now has a serious face: "I want to transfer to my cousin's school, and go to school with my cousin, and I beg you to play."

"It's a trivial matter." The emperor waved his hand cheerfully.

***

He was allowed to go back to Taixue after the court situation took a break and the game improved slightly.Soon I made a new discovery: the bodyguard actually held the door amulet for entering and exiting Weiyang Palace and Shanglin Garden. When I entered the school, he stood guard at the door, and when I went to play Cuju, he stood at the gate of the Cuju field.On the first morning when I returned to Taixue, I found that someone was carrying the bookcase for me on a white horse, and I felt relaxed, like a real Chang'an son, and I was happy and relaxed.

When they arrived at the North Gate of Weiyang Palace, they heard the roar of hammering against the stone wall from the north of Chang'an City.It turned out that with the removal of Han Yan's tomb in Maoling, the Han Mansion outside the north gate, as well as the shooting range and horse farm and other buildings adjacent to the Han Mansion were also knocked down by the bang.The emperor adopted the drawings of King Wuqiu Shou, and a new palace, the North Palace, was under construction.

The Tai Xuetang in the spring was as full of flowers as usual. Except for the newly transferred Su Wu who often wandered around curiously and asked me and Cao Xiang various questions, the other students were no different from the past.

But I have a faint feeling that Li Gan looks at me differently than before.

Soon, during the recess of etiquette class one day, I was stopped by Li Gan, and I was trapped in a blind corner behind the rockery, where the guards and others could not see.

"I really can't see that Huo Meiren is also that kind of person." Li Gan's tone was as weird as ever.

"Mr. Li, can you choose a bright place, let's talk." I pushed him hard, but the difference in height and physical strength was too big, and I was firmly clasped by the other's arms on the cold rock with the spring chill.

"I heard that you lived in Weiyang Palace when you were out of school," he held me down, and paused, "Live with Han Shuo."

"So what?" I stared at the person in front of me, "Where I live and who I live with, it's not up to you to control."

But what he said next managed to calm me down.

"Han Yan's death is related to you." Li Gan's eyes gradually became ambiguous, "The new follower Su Wu, and that bodyguard."

"I don't understand what you're talking about." It's really unusual to be able to compare these three people.

"Hmph." The corner of one side of his mouth was raised, and the person in front of him gave an evil smile, and suddenly bent down.

I stared blankly at the pair of evil eyes enlarged again and again, until he wrapped my jaw with one hand and forced me to raise my head, pressed against my lips, pried it open skillfully, and drove straight in.When the opponent's teeth hit my lips, the back of my head was pushed and hit the stone by him, with a buzzing sound, staring at my eyes.His other hand was not idle, he used his legs together, stuck me in the small space, directly lifted the hem of my deep coat, skimmed over the middle coat skillfully, the cold touch between his fingers covered the last part of my legs Sensitive spot, rubbing my sagging front end roughly back and forth.

The incident happened suddenly, and after a short moment of astonishment, I punched the opponent's lower abdomen.

"The reaction was pretty quick, and I guessed it right." Li Gan staggered back two steps, straightened up quickly, his sharp eyes condescendingly releasing contempt, "It's not just you who are that kind of person, the Han family, the Wei family, you guys All of those people."

"Whatever you think, I don't care what kind of person you classify me as," I met his gaze without fear, "To me, you are just a shameless sneak attack, if you have the guts, be fair One-on-one duel!"

"Let's talk about it after you get on your horse." He left behind a series of triumphant smiles, and walked away.

Two horns appeared from behind the rockery, as well as Su Wu's puzzled expression.

"Cousin, aren't you and Mr. Li friends? Why are you fighting?"

"He and I have never been friends." I desperately wiped my sore lips with the back of my hand.

***

"Qubing, you're bleeding here, what's going on?" Cao Xiang tapped my lower lip.

"The branch was scraped, it will be fine in a while." I glared at Su Wu, signaling him not to talk too much.

Sima Xiangru had already stepped through the door.Cao Xiang looked at us suspiciously, sat back in her seat, and said nothing.

"What's wrong with my nephew's lips?" Da Jinniang put the plate of hot food on the side table.

"Bite by a dog."

The second time in the same day I was asked about disfigurement, and I was running out of patience.

"Have you fought with others?" Uncle said to the point, "Go to the school and you should study hard for me, don't spend a lot of time err—"

The words were suddenly interrupted, the uncle frowned, and on the square table Jin Niang stuffed him with a mouthful of vegetables, but under the square table there was a clear vibration of Jin Niang kicking the uncle's calf.

"Where's my second uncle?" The bay red horse was tied in the stable, indicating that the second uncle was at home, but he hadn't seen anyone.

"Second brother was not feeling well, so he fell asleep directly." Jin Niang pointed to the room of the second uncle.

"People are made of flesh, not made of iron." The uncle finally found a second person to blame, "After he was busy with sacrifices and busy with spring hunting, he never rested throughout the year. If he doesn't get sick, whoever gets sick. "

"My husband usually helps my second younger brother to share some of the official duties, and I have my own concubine to take care of it." Niang Niang took a piece of meat and sent it to the uncle's mouth, "My husband eats more to resist the cold."

"What do you know, a woman? He's earning money selling cabbage and digging copper mountains." The uncle's mouth was full, and he still didn't forget to complain, "It's all the fault of the little emperor, who has become a In the daytime, people are poured with ecstasy soup, and the young children are so fascinated that they can go through fire and water for them and die for the country."

"Okay, just don't say a few words in front of your nephew." Jin Niang said angrily, "The food is cold."

I picked up the bowl and quickly picked up the rice, automatically shielding the two people who were flirting with each other.

The spring night is quiet and slightly chilly.Uncle is not at home tonight, so I lit a candle and flipped through the new book in my hand.

Wang Daxing died in prison, the kinship policy was cancelled, and the Han and Hungarian countries exchanged fire on a small scale in the northern border several times.Father Yan, who was in favor of cutting the feudal vassal, was promoted to three ranks in a row within a year, and Mei Gao had judged the situation, and decisively abandoned "Huinan Honglie", which Tian Fu had praised before, and instead preached about "Lu Shi", a raccoon dog in the skin of Confucianism. Spring and Autumn".

Perhaps because he couldn't bear the desertedness of the few respondents in the classics class after Han Shuo left, Mei Gao began to talk about anecdotes from hundreds of schools of thought to show his humor.However, Grand Tutor Mei is not Dongfang Shuo after all, and he just tells some jokes that are wrong with the horse's mouth, which can only make people question whether he has obtained the true biography of Mei Cheng, the author of "Seven Hairs".

There was a slight coughing sound from outside.

It's just a very light and short sound, enough to make every teeny little slave in front of my eyes instantly turn into a solid cube.I changed a book at random, read a few sentences, and after a few coughs from the next door, the words in front of me quickly turned into strings of unfamiliar Taoist symbols.

Uneasy, I closed the letter, grabbed the cloak, and pulled the wooden clogs to push open the door.
