I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 331 Ten Whips

"Grandpa Yang, try it, it's very fresh." Zhan Feiyu said with a smile.

Zhan Feiyu prefers to eat and drink compared to the drinking and talking of the elders. "Scallops, ham, diced chicken, diced duck, and shark's fin are added to the soup, and Ah Nuan steamed it for three hours."

Old General Yang scooped up half a bowl, "I want you to taste it well."

"This little girl's mouth has been spoiled." Gu Qingzhou laughed jokingly.

"Teacher, I'll do it." Zhan Feiyu stood up and fully demonstrated what it means to be busy, and the disciple respected the teacher for his hard work.

Gu Qingzhou glanced angrily, "Okay, don't worry about your hands, it's a waste of ointment."

That is the jasper ointment that is hard to find. Yin Wuyan used it as a dog skin ointment, and it took half a jar to apply the ointment. Yin Wuyan didn't feel distressed, and Gu Qingzhou couldn't bear it.

General Yang and Yang Shoucheng didn't care about Yang Xu's absent-mindedness.

The three elders, Old General Yang, Qiu Zongxi and Gu Qingzhou, had a great chat with each other with hot dishes and fine wine, and Yang Shoucheng occasionally said a few words.

As for Yin Wuyan's indifference as always, he would pick up vegetables for Zhan Feiyu from time to time, pick a fishbone, peel a shrimp shell, and Zhan Feiyu would be responsible for eating, and the atmosphere was incomparably harmonious.

When Zhan Feiyu put down the bowl, he felt that he was full. He pinched his cheeks subconsciously. The soft meat was all meat. Fortunately, he was young. If he was a few years later, he would become a fat girl.

"It's snowing outside, let's walk around the house to digest food." Yin Wuyan stood up, and pulled up Zhan Feiyu who wanted to go back to lie down when he was full.

"Is it snowing?" Zhan Feiyu walked towards the window.

There are lanterns hanging under the corridor, and through the window paper, you can see the snowflakes flying outside. The heavy snow like goose feathers is falling one after another. It is estimated that there will be thick snow on the ground tomorrow.

The servants quickly cleaned up all the dishes and chopsticks, because Gu Qingzhou and the others had drunk wine, so He Nuan specially made tea to understand the wine and brought it over.

"Someone sent fireworks over, do you want to see them?" Yin Wuyan asked, and then glanced out of the window, "It's too cold outside, so watch from the window."

Zhan Feiyu shook his head, "I'll dress warmly, big brother, let's go outside to set off fireworks."

After a while, He Nuan brought the fox fur and the stove, and Zhan Feiyu was instantly wrapped into a bear.

Old General Yang who was drinking tea in the house couldn't help laughing. "Little girl practices boxing every day, why is she still so afraid of the cold?"

"Sleeping less than three hours a day, taking Shiquan Dabu pills won't help." Qiu Zongxi answered, and took a meaningful look at Gu Qingzhou who was sitting aside.

Qiu Zongxi has always thought of himself as a strict teacher, but compared to Gu Qingzhou who wrote a letter every three days, Zhan Feiyu's homework for the past three days and the comments for the last homework came with the letter. Such heavy schoolwork, let alone A little girl, even a grown man can't handle it.

"Black hair doesn't know how to study early, and white hair regrets studying late. Xiaoyu looks cute and sensible, but she is impulsive and impulsive. Studying for the imperial examination is the capital for her to settle down." Gu Qingzhou sipped tea slowly, watching Yin Wuyan follow behind Yin Wuyan. Zhan Feiyu who went out had gentle and loving eyes.

The bitterness of studying is also a broad road. Those peasants who face the loess and their backs to the sky are the real suffering, a suffering with no end in sight.

Qiu Zongxi snorted angrily, without concealing doubts and contempt in his words, "As a scholar in the dynasty, can't you still protect a little girl?"

Yep, these two hit it off!Old General Yang laughed, happy to watch the excitement, and let the two of you come and go with each other.

Outside the main hall, Zhan Feiyu shivered from the cold as soon as he went out, but looking at the snowflakes all over the sky, it was worth the cold.

He Sheng quickly ignited the fireworks, and with the whistling sound, the flames soared into the sky, and then exploded in the night sky.

Looking up at the fleeting fireworks, Zhan Feiyu couldn't help laughing, "The smallpox blooms in the middle of countless months, and the colorful clouds surround the platform. When I fall to the ground, the stars suddenly disperse, and the sound of rain comes from the flying sky. .Angrily hitting the jade bucket and turning the clear snow, bravely stepping on the golden wheel and thundering. The more leaks have deepened and the people gradually dissipated, and the troubled poles brought back the colored lights."

Yin Wuyan stood aside, shielding Zhan Feiyu from the cold wind, looking at the little girl with picturesque eyebrows and joyful face, her handsome face was also stained with a smile.

On the other side, Yang Xu also stood under the eaves and watched the fireworks in the sky, but there was no joy and joy, "Father, did I disappoint you and grandpa?"

If there is no Zhan Feiyu for comparison, Yang Xu, who has been living in Stone Village, is doing well, although he is a bit withdrawn, does not associate with the children in the village, and even fights when they meet.

But compared to the urchin in the village who has brute force, Yang Xu has practiced martial arts for several years. He is superior in both strength and skill.

As for reading, although Yang Xu was reprimanded by Qiu Zongxi for being stupid, he had at least read four books. Almost all the children in the village were illiterate.

But all of this was turned upside down after getting to know Zhan Feiyu. After one after another, Yang Xu fell into confusion and at a loss. He suddenly doubted whether he had the ability to support the Yang family. On the battlefield, can he really lead troops in battle?

Yang Shoucheng patted Yang Xu's head reassuringly, and his deep voice sounded amidst the whirring of fireworks, "Since you believe that Xiaoyu is smart, then she is so optimistic about you, which shows that you are trustworthy and social."

Yang Xu was stunned, and looked blankly at Zhan Feiyu who was not far away. Xiaoyu trusted him?

Yes, she did not hesitate to risk herself, she escaped from the siege of the barbarians, and then went to Aozikou to save herself, and then even let Ah Nuan take her away, but she stayed and became Zhu Xiao's hostage, so she took care of her. The bachelor also slapped Xiao Yu's palm.

"Xiaoxu, Gu Xueshi said during the day that you should be cautious in your words and deeds. In fact, he is telling you not to look at people and things too superficially. If you can't judge whether a person is good or bad, then leave it to time. After getting along for a long time, the other party will eventually Show your feet." Yang Shoucheng never thought that Qiu Jinyu would be a barbarian spy.

Fortunately, he died, and if he was still alive, because of his life-saving grace to Xiao Xu, Xiao Xu would definitely sacrifice his heart to Qiu Jinyu in the future, and once Xiao Xu took over the military power in the future, Longyou Dao might be captured by barbarians.

Yang Xu had experienced too few people and things. He looked withdrawn, but in fact he was lonely, so as soon as Qiu Jinyu showed his affection, Yang Xu plunged into it.

"The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, but the friendship between villains is as sweet as sweets; gentlemen are indifferent to intimacy, but villains are willing to give up." Yang Shoucheng knew that Yang Xu might not be able to become a schemer in this life, but as long as he stood firm, will not be confused by foreign objects.

"Xiaoyu intends to cooperate with our Yang family and put his purpose on the surface. This is sincerity. Think about it. When you have a relationship with Qiu Jinyu, has he ever revealed any purpose?"

Hearing Yang Shoucheng's words, Yang Xu thought about it carefully. During the time he and Qiu Jinyu knew each other, although they talked a lot, most of them were about the customs of the Daqing Dynasty.

Yang Xu couldn't leave Longyou Dao, so he was naturally curious about the great world outside. Although Qiu Jinyu was only a few years older, she was well-informed and talked about topics that interested Yang Xu.

On weekdays, when it comes to reading and writing, if Yang Xu doesn't understand something, Qiu Jinyu patiently pointed it out. He broke up the articles and verses and explained them to Yang Xu. Before he knew Qiu Jinyu's identity, he had always been Yang Xu's good teacher and helpful friend.

"Father, don't there be pure feelings between people?" Yang Xu's eyes fixed on Zhan Feiyu and Yin Wuyan.

Even if Yang Shoucheng didn't say it clearly, Yang Xu could guess that Yin Wuyan came from the Forbidden Dragon Guard, and that he had a lot of power. Every now and then, a carriage would be sent to the Qiu Mansion. If it wasn't for his high position and authority, how could he do it.

Yang Xu hardly spoke tonight, and he was absent-minded during the New Year's Eve dinner, but he still noticed that the attitude of Yin Wuyan and Gu Qingzhou when they talked was not from the junior to the elder, nor from the inferior to the superior, but on an equal footing.

Coupled with Yin Wuyan's noble and arrogant temperament, Yang Xu guessed that his power is not lower than Gu Xueshi, so he doesn't need to curry favor with Xiaoyu to curry favor with Gu Xueshi, but as a forbidden dragon guard, why did he treat Xiaoyu like this? She loves and cares for her like that, even to the point where she takes care of everything. When eating, she picks fishbone and peels shrimp shells for small fish.

Following Yang Xu's gaze, Yang Shoucheng understood the meaning of his words, "It's not impossible to hit it off, but it requires fate."

The prosperity of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. People come together more because of interests, so they have the same goals and do not seek each other if they have different ways.

Yang Xu nodded half-understood. He had experienced too many things in just a few months, and he needed to think about it and be quiet.

Two quarters later.

Yin Wuyan touched Zhan Feiyu's right hand, holding the hand stove was warm, but his little face was frozen cold, "I'll put the rest tomorrow night, go back to rest, and get a good night's sleep tonight."

"Yeah." Zhan Feiyu was indeed a little tired, so he took a nap for an hour in the afternoon, and when he heard Yin Wuyan's words, his eyelids were about to fight.

Holding the hand stove tightly, Zhan Feiyu grinned at Yang Xu on the other side, and then obediently followed Yin Wuyan and left.

……

After the hustle and bustle of New Year's Eve subsided, the night was late and everything was quiet.

Lanterns were still lit under the eaves of the big families, and ordinary people fell asleep early after the barbarian army attacked the city last night and had the New Year's Eve dinner.

Under the dense night, Yin Wuyan stood under the verandah, listening to the slight breathing sound from inside, his heart seemed to have settled down.

Accompanied by the slight sound of footsteps, the door was opened, He Nuan walked out, closed the door gently, and then replied in a low voice, "Miss slept very deeply, and did not have a nightmare."

Yin Wuyan and He Nuan are already accustomed to life and death, no matter how dangerous the situation is, they will not be haunted by nightmares, but Zhan Feiyu is young after all, even though he fell asleep after drinking soothing soup, Yin Wuyan is still worried.

"He Nuan stay." Glancing at He Sheng and the others standing in the courtyard, Yin Wuyan stepped into the night.

After a while, the back garden of the Qiu Mansion.

"Qiye, fat girl He Sheng and the others dare not not carry out the orders of the fat girl." Chongguang couldn't help but say something, which was also a plea for He Sheng and the others. It's hard first."

He Sheng and the others still knelt on one knee to plead guilty, snowflakes flew, and soon a layer of snow fell on their heads and bodies, and because the knees kneeling on the ground touched the snow, the chill penetrated into the body through the cloth , It seems that there is a cold air in the bones.

"Three thousand barbarians are guarding outside the city gate, and you dare to bring small fish to break through." Yin Wuyan's voice was not loud, but every word seemed to be wrapped in frost and snow, and the frightening coldness made people shudder.

"This subordinate is guilty!" He Sheng said, thinking about it now, he was afraid. If something happened, the lady would die under the butcher's knife of the barbarians. Even if they killed all the barbarians, even if they apologized with death What's the use?
"The terrain at Aozikou is dangerous. I don't know how many enemies are in ambush. If someone pries rocks from the top of the mountain or attacks back and forth, supplemented by poisonous arrows and poisonous powder, given the wind that night, can you come out alive?" One by one, Yin Wuyan could finally understand Gu Xueshi's anger at that time.

It's just that Yin Wuyan's anger was aimed at He Sheng and the others, and Gu Qingzhou was more rational, so he took the ruler and took Zhan Feiyu's ten boards. After all, He Sheng and He Nuan were all obeying orders, and Zhan Feiyu was " The culprit".

Thirdly, Yin Wuyan doesn't need to say anything. Facing the siege of the Marquis' Mansion, He Sheng and the others really dare to keep Zhan Feiyu. Even Yin Wuyan can't guarantee that Zhu Xiao will keep his promise. If he moves Killing heart, even if Zhan Feiyu had nine lives, he wouldn't be enough to die.

Chong Guang opened his mouth, but seeing Yin Wuyan, whose angry expression was no longer suppressed, he didn't dare to intercede any more, so he could only let He Sheng and the others ask for blessings. For the face of the fat girl, Qi Ye probably wouldn't be too punished. Ruthless, it will be fine after a period of recuperation.
