Chapter 42 Knife
Zhao Lu was guarding outside the Dongyang Gate, and as soon as Xiaodong and the others got out of their car, Zhao Lu saw it.

"How is it? Can you understand the class? Is there anyone in trouble for you?"

This silly brother won't be thinking about this all day, right?If Jixian Hall and Jiyu Hall were not too far apart, maybe he would come over at noon to ask this question.

Xiaodong smiled and said: "It's good. Master is very kind, and no one bullies me."

Zhao Lusong breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." He asked again: "What did you learn today?"

Xiaodong thought for a while: "After learning poetry, I also took piano lessons."

Although she didn't learn anything.

But Zhao Lu was already very happy to hear her say this: "Have you learned the piano? By the way, you don't have your own piano yet. Go back and open the warehouse to look for it. I remember there are some good pianos at home..."

Xiaodong quickly stopped him: "I don't know how to play yet, and there is Yaoqin in the piano room. By the way, what did brother learn today?"

"We went archery in the afternoon. My aim is not bad, but my arm is not strong enough. Qin Lie shoots the best."

"Is it?"

Zhao Lu rubbed his head: "Well, nine out of ten hit the bull's-eye, but Shen Jing's shot is not as good as mine."

The rain had stopped, the car curtain was half raised, and the street outside could be seen clearly through a layer of gauze.Zhao Lu leaned back: "I thought you would cry and say that you don't like going to school, even the handkerchief and candy are prepared..."

Coax her like a child?

Xiaodong stretched out his hand: "Then give it to me."

"what?"

"Sugar."

Zhao Lu fumbled in his sleeves, and sure enough, there was a prepared handkerchief, and rose pine nut candies in a small purse, which made the purse bulging.

Xiaodong touched a piece of candy and stuffed it to Zhao Lu, and ate one himself. Zhao Lu had a big lump on his cheek with the candy in his mouth.

"By the way, where are Cousin Qin and the others?"

"They still have something to do, so they won't go back until later."

In the evening, Wang An really asked Xiaodong if he was used to going to school, and whether the teacher was fierce or not.Being so cared by his father and elder brother, Xiaodong even felt that he didn't use the matter of going to school to cry and act coquettishly a few times, and he was really sorry for their caring.Feeling so calm and calm, I really failed their kindness.

"I went to Changchun Palace at noon," Xiaodong looked at Wang An's expression and whispered, "The Empress Dowager cooked delicious dishes for me."

King An's expression couldn't tell whether it was joy or displeasure, he just asked, "What did you eat?"

"Tofu, and cabbage heart, the dishes cooked by the empress dowager are delicious."

Wang An groaned, sat there with Xiaodong in his arms, and didn't speak for a while.

Xiaodong didn't know what he was thinking.

I just instinctively feel that I should be thinking about the Empress Dowager Shengci, right?
"The empress dowager also said she would give me the qin, but I didn't want it."

"Ah."

Wang An gently stroked her hair, Xiaodong blinked, only hoping that Wang An would say something.

She felt that Wang An must have a lot of things hidden in his heart.

She turned her head, trying to see the expression on Wang An's face clearly.

"Go and get the letter on the table."

Xiaodong responded, climbed off Wang An's body, and took the letter with his short legs.

There are words written on the letter cover, like iron hooks and silver scratches, the words are good, but Xiaodong doesn't know them.

King An didn't say anything else, someone came to report the matter, and Mrs. Hu quickly came in and took Xiaodong out.

Mrs. Hu asked Zhao Lu and Wang An again what she had asked, but she focused on asking Xiaodong if he was cold, if he was tired, if he felt hungry during class, and he had to prepare cushions so that people would not feel uncomfortable after sitting for a long time. comfortable or something.

They met Qin Lie at the gate of the back garden.

Xiaodong felt strange, why did he come here?
Seeing them coming, Qin Lie showed a relieved expression, and handed over the small bundle in his hand: "This is something from the Yao family, so I won't go in."

Mrs. Hu took it over and said with a smile, "Brother Qin, come and sit with us."

Qin Lie shook his head and strode away.

Hu looked at his back.When it comes to the two cousins ​​who live in the mansion, Mrs. Hu is naturally more quiet.Quiet, gentle, handsome, intelligent and talented, he always treats people with kindness.Compared with him, Qin Lie seemed much rougher and tougher.

Although the burden is small, it is heavy, and the weight is really not light.

Xiaodong was quite curious about what was inside.

Yao Jinfeng took the bundle with one stroke, and untied it with two strokes.

On top is a dagger.

Xiaodong was taken aback.Yao Jinfeng was also taken aback, and picked up the knife.

The knife is very small, about seven inches long even with the handle, and the golden sheath is inlaid with many bright and bright gemstones. It doesn't look like a sharp weapon, but more like a luxurious decoration.

"Sister Yao, what is this?"

"Knife... When I came, my family didn't allow me to bring it. I didn't expect it to be brought here again this time."

Shen Qiang was really curious: "You...you know how to use a knife?"

Yao Jinfeng smiled triumphantly: "I've even killed wolves before."

Kill... wolves?

The expressions of Xiaodong and Shen Qiang are surprisingly the same, their mouths are half open, almost enough to stuff an egg into it.

"Well, one winter there was a lot of snow, and the wolves in the mountains were so hungry that they came out to look for food. In the middle of the night, they heard the sheep bleating in the sheep pen. I went out with Uncle and the others, and killed them together. I lost the wolf, the wolf skin was given to my aunt, and I still keep the wolf teeth." She turned around in her waist and took out something from her purse: "This is it."

It was indeed a pointed animal tooth.Of course Xiaodong and Shen Qiang didn't know what Langya was like, but Yao Jinfeng's character was one-sided and straightforward, so it shouldn't be lying to them.

"Did you kill him with this knife?"

"Of course not." Yao Jinfeng sat down and pulled out the dagger from its sheath.A cold light flashed on the blade, Xiaodong subconsciously dodged backwards, Shen Qiang leaned over to block her, and whispered: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."

"Ah."

Shen Qiang asked: "Why did your family send you the knife?"

Yao Jinfeng shook her head: "I don't know either. This knife..." She stopped in the middle of speaking, put the knife away and put it on her waist, then looked through the other things in the bag, picked out the brocade belt and the embroidered purse and divided them Give each of Xiaodong and Shen Qiang a share.

There was still a letter in the bundle, but before Xiaodong could see it clearly, Yao Jinfeng had tied the bundle up again.

Soon Xiaodong discovered that there were still many places in school that made her uncomfortable.

For example, the struggle between the three princesses.

This is normal, Xiaodong understands very well.They were not born by the same mother, how could they have one mind.The fourth princess looked gentle and kind, and often smoothed things over between the fifth and sixth princesses.

Xiaodong's method is to play dumb, whether it is the sixth princess getting close or the fifth princess showing affection, she always smiles, no nodding, shaking her head, approving or opposing, anyway, she is young.

After a long time, others think that she has a good temper and a good personality, and she is easy to get along with, and they are happy to get close to her.

A group of girls got together, and the topics were nothing more than that.

Clothes, jewelry, food, and then some right and wrong.

Xiaodong didn't bother to listen, and she didn't interrupt when they were chatting.

Whenever Shen Qiang came to this kind of time, she would take out her embroidery work, she lowered her head, but her ears were more pointed than anyone else.I have been working on it for several days, and I have only embroidered half a leaf. After sewing, dismantling, and sewing again, the cloth has long been in bad shape.
