Fair Lady

The weather is hot, and from Mingyue Garden to the old lady's yard there are many places without verandas or leaves for shade. Mother Liu asked Bai Jin to open a larger oil-paper umbrella to cover Shuyao.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the hall, they heard hearty laughter from inside. It seemed that they had a very happy conversation.

Hearing the servant girl's report: "The princess is here", Yun Lian'an and a young man dressed as a sergeant sitting next to him stood up quickly.

Shuyao is now the princess of the first rank, according to the rules, they all have to pay a big gift.But the House of the Two Marquises and the House of the Great General have a close relationship, and Shuyao doesn't let her cousins ​​give her big gifts, unless it's at a banquet or other occasions, with outsiders.

Therefore, Yun Lian'an just gave Shuyao an ordinary peer salute, and Shuyao also returned the half salute.

The sergeant who came with Yun Lian'an naturally saluted respectfully: "Your officer Liu Haoqiang has met Princess Fuxing, please greet Princess Fuxing."

Liu Haoqiang?do not know?In Shuyao's image, she has never seen this person, no matter in name or appearance.

Yun Lian'an introduced: "Cousin, Liu Bazong is the soldier who bravely rescued my uncle from the encirclement when my uncle was hit by a poisoned arrow and was almost surrounded by a trap set by the enemy. My uncle said that his pair of hammers made the enemy fearful." the one."

oh?The person who saved the second uncle?Uh, does it matter if it's "old acquaintance"?Shuyao quickly smiled and said: "Mr. Liu please get up quickly, thank you for your bravery, and saved the second uncle of the princess."

Liu Haoqiang got up, and smiled brightly, showing his snow-white teeth: "The princess doesn't recognize Xiaguan anymore? The princess is the savior of Xiaguan's mother, and the great benefactor of our family." Jian Shuyao still looked blank.Continued, "Princess, the next official is Daqiang. In Yulin Town, Lanyuexuan, the white jade brush washer, do you remember the princess? If there is no ginseng slices and jujubes presented by the princess, my mother would have... .Now my mother is healthy and strong, all thanks to your blessing, princess."

"Brother Daqiang? Are you really Brother Daqiang? Don't tell me I can't recognize him at all." Shuyao looked at the tall and burly Liu Haoqiang in amazement.How can he match up with the black and thin, ten-year-old Shuwen who looks similar to six-year-old Shuwen?

Shuyao's memory has always been very good, but Daqiang has changed too much and she didn't recognize it. This is really an old acquaintance, and said excitedly: "That's right, back then your family said that they went to the Northwest to join your uncle."

Seeing Shuyao, Daqiang not only remembered it.He still called him "Brother Daqiang" as he did when he was a child, and Ping An didn't have the slightest aloof attitude. He felt warm in his heart, and finally let go of his latent feelings of inferiority and anxiety.

Daqiang is not only brave, but also very strategic and tactical. After Yun Deqing found out, he gave him a chance.He did not disappoint Yun Deqing's respect, and made two great achievements in succession.Many small achievements, the last time with a small team of less than 100 people directly destroyed the military powerhouse of the Turks, and captured the most prestigious generalissimo of the Turks alive.

Yun Deqing knew that the emperor was thirsty for talents, especially young generals who were brave, resourceful and experienced in combat (most of the generals at the border of the town are now getting old, and the emperor needs to train equally reliable young people to succeed him), and there just happened to be those who needed to come to Beijing As an errand, Daqiang was sent here.It can be regarded as an invitation to the emperor.

Daqiang passed Yulin Town on his way to Beijing, and wanted to pay homage to the three brothers and sisters Xie Shuyao.Only then did I know that Xia Zhai is now the Yongping Marquis's Mansion, and Shuyao is the Princess of Fuxing, who is known as the "Treasure of the Town" by the current Saint Jinkou.

He secretly sighed, with Shuyao's current status, he would never have the chance to meet her to thank her, how could Princess Fuxing be easily seen by him as a seventh-rank young master?

Unexpectedly, when he entered the palace to face the saint, he recognized Yongping Hou Ye Shujie who was beside the emperor at a glance.Knowing Daqiang's wish to pay respects to Xie Shuyao face to face, Shujie smiled and said, "It's not difficult. Aren't you going to visit the old general at the residence of General Zhongyi? Old general Yun is our grandfather. Please ask your second cousin to accompany you Just take a walk. Our grandmother and my wife are both in the mansion, and there are many elders in the mansion, so there are not so many taboos."

Only then did Daqiang know that Princess Fuxing was the general's direct niece.

On the way here with Yun Lian'an, he was still a little apprehensive. After all, Shuyao's status is too high now, do you think he is using the pretext of thanking him to get close?Although the attitude of Lord Yongping is still friendly, but men are different from women, most noble women are arrogant.

But at this moment, Shuyao is as kind and innocent as before, just like the little sister next door, Daqiang was also moved, and slowly relaxed and naturalized, and said with a smile: "Exactly, we went to the uncle's house in the northwest, right at the uncle's house. I live in a small martial arts gym, and my parents are doing odd jobs in the martial arts gym. My uncle saw that I like to watch people practice martial arts, and I am tall and thin, so he started to take me to practice martial arts.

I also followed my cousin to learn how to read. The old man next door to my uncle's martial arts hall had several military books left by my ancestors. I often helped him carry water, and the old man asked me to read books at his house.At first, I just looked at the beautiful fighting patterns on it, but then I became more and more fascinated by it, and basically memorized several military books.Hehe, then I had the idea of ​​joining the army. Two years ago, the Northwest Army was recruiting new recruits. I was just 16 years old, and I joined the army as soon as I passed the qualification. "

Shuyao said with emotion: "No wonder, I said you have changed so much that I can't even recognize you. Brother Daqiang, you don't know how thin and small you were at that time, who would have thought that you are tall and powerful now. Uh, if Shu Yao When Wen saw you, he definitely wouldn’t recognize you, you were as tall as him back then, now, uh, your height is about the same, but you’re much stronger than Wen’er.”

Daqiang smiled shyly: "I can stay in Beijing for seven or eight days, and I will return to Ancheng after I settle down with my parents. Now we are temporarily staying in the General's Mansion. When Wen'er brother is in the mansion, I will come over to meet him again. Talk about the old days."

Shuyao smiled and replied: "Okay, under normal circumstances, Wen'er stays in the mansion except to go to the academy, not necessarily you come here, Wen'er also often goes to the Grand General's Mansion to visit his grandfather and grandmother, or to find his second cousin or third cousin. Let’s review the book together. Although you are busy with Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu, don’t waste time. By the way, Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu are going to stay in the capital? Why don’t you go back to Ancheng?”

Daqiang nodded: "My uncle was invited by a fellow villager last year, and his family came to a martial arts gym in Jincheng. My parents live in Beijing, which is closer to them. The imperial court gave some subsidies, and they can rent a small yard in the suburbs , but Old General Yun invited them to live in the Yun family's Zhuangzi."

After speaking, as if she was afraid that Shuyao might misunderstand something, she quickly added: "Originally, the old general wanted them to live in the general's mansion. My parents are used to living in the village, so they are more comfortable."

Mother Liu sighed secretly, it seems that the imperial court is going to train and reuse this young man who is only [-] years old.For the important generals guarding the border, the imperial court will give subsidies to allow their families to stay in the capital.
