Daming: What abandoned baby?That is the grandson of the old Zhu family!

"The second young master is back? The distinguished guest has been waiting in the courtyard for a long time." The old servant who helped Zhu Xiongying get off the carriage said respectfully.

"But you came to pay respects to Dafather?"

"No, the distinguished guest said that he came to see the second young master."

Zhu Xiongying: "Who will come to see me at this time?"

Didn't come to see Xu Da, but wanted to see him by name?

"I'll go and have a look, you go and get busy."

"Yes."

Zhu Xiongying came to the side courtyard.

This is the place where he lives alone. He just moved here a few years ago, and the furnishings are all according to his own wishes. Bamboos, pines and cypresses are planted next to the yard, and there is also a small pond. Plants are planted on the rockery. Two or three peach blossoms grew.

Outsiders are generally not allowed in.

As soon as he entered the door, the man standing in the yard turned around.

It turned out to be sapphire.

I haven't seen her for a few years, but Sapphire is still tall and tall, with a tall and straight temperament, giving people the usual impression of rigidity and hostility, but her face seems to be a little more vicissitudes.

"Why is General Sapphire free to visit today?"

Sapphire smiled, and his expression eased.

"I just came back to Beijing, and I'm busy with too many things. I'm so busy that I don't touch the ground. Only today did I find time to visit you."

Zhu Xiongying ordered someone to make tea, and after the servants brought it, Zhu Xiongying poured a cup for Lan Yu himself.

"I don't like drinking, and there is only some clear tea in the courtyard. I hope that General Lan Yu will not be disgusted with it."

Sapphire gave a "tsk" sound: "Look at what you said, I never like this kind of sour politeness, it's not the first day you and I met, don't be so polite."

"Haha, it seems that General Sapphire is still as informal as ever."

Zhu Xiongying felt much more at ease.

Although I am indeed a man of etiquette, there is still a big difference between etiquette and hypocrisy. I just watched too much of the pretending face at the banquet in the prime minister's mansion, and suddenly I saw Lan Yu who is so genuine. People, the haze in my heart has gone a lot.

"No! Why do you still call me the general? Didn't you say that you should call me uncle according to your seniority!" Lan Yu was a little annoyed, and the beard on her chin trembled a little because of the way she spoke.

Zhu Xiongying was amused.

Could it be that this Sapphire really has a hobby of meeting relatives everywhere?

"However, this address cannot be called indiscriminately. If others listen to it, I am afraid they will say that you are a vulgar person, General Sapphire, and you don't understand etiquette."

Sapphire's hands froze, yes!

Although he and Zhu Xiongying's relationship is clear in his heart, but this child doesn't know!Didn't Zhu Yuanzhang go all out to conceal Zhu Xiongying's identity more than ten years ago?
How can you fall short because of yourself!

What this child said was good, if someone really listened to these words, he would definitely make wild guesses, which would do Zhu Xiongying all kinds of harm and no benefit at all.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Xiongying was so thoughtful.

It really is the person that the old man likes!Just capable!

But it was born by my younger sister, and there is still a little bit of his Sapphire gene!
hey-hey!Prove that you are not bad!
Zhu Xiongying was puzzled when he saw Lan Yu frowning for a while, and then looking complacent the next second.

I don't know what this person is thinking.

"Okay, I can't force you either. Besides, what you said is indeed true. You can't let others listen to it casually. Then we won't force you. When there is no one in private, you can still secretly call us twice Uncle, if anyone else is present, we'll put on a show."

"Okay." Zhu Xiongying didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he simply agreed, otherwise Lan Yu might not be so easy to give up.

"By the way, I was talking to you here and there, why did I talk so far away, I almost forgot the business!" Sapphire slapped her head, and took out a small box from one sleeve.

When it was opened, it contained a small knife, about the size of a palm.

Zhu Xiongying casually took the box over: "Why give me a knife?"

The next moment, when Zhu Xiongying saw the knife in the box clearly, he immediately shut his mouth and opened his eyes wide twice.

The knife in the box is not an ordinary knife, but a soft armor knife that can be folded to make an iron wrist buckle!

This kind of blade is mainly made of the toughest but most resistant part of the sergeant's light armor, and is forged through a series of very complicated processes.When not in use, you only need to make a wrist buckle around your wrist, which is very convenient and concealed.

The handle of the knife is slightly wider, about four inches in length, and three to four small knives, or a dozen silver needles can be placed inside. These knives are also well-crafted and must be made with special techniques, and the blades are as thin as cicadas. The wing, which is extremely delicate and secretive, can be used as a dark ride, and was named "Sleeve Saber" by the predecessors.

Hidden knives are generally made by specific mecha masters in the army, and the skills are not passed on.

It is said that the best masters can only make no more than ten pieces a year, and most of them are rich and powerful. Only people with high positions and weights can buy them. People in the army also have the position of sapphire, and they may not be eligible to enjoy it. .

Seeing Zhu Xiongying's eyes shining brightly, Lan Yu guessed that he probably knew what it was, and he didn't need to bother to explain it.

Sure enough, he was Lan Yu's nephew, not only full of knowledge, but also well-informed!
"How is it? I like it, but I have spent a lot of effort to get it!"

Zhu Xiongying picked up the sleeve knife and couldn't put it down: "This is a treasure that is hard to come by. Are you really giving it to me?"

"Of course! It's a joke for a man to talk!" Lan Yu slapped the table hard, "Although I am really reluctant, but you are my precious nephew, and a gift is worth it! Don't tell us you don't Take it! Be careful, I will really beat you up!"

Zhu Xiongying pursed her lips: "Huaiying, He De, how can General Lan Yu love him so much, if there is a chance, he will definitely repay him."

"Damn, why are you saying these things! Originally, I was thinking of taking something to give to you and also to use it for self-defense, don't thank me!" Sapphire's face couldn't stop her complacency.

His eldest nephew has always followed his word, and since he said this, he will definitely help him in the future, and it can be considered that his painstaking efforts were not in vain.

"I'll see if I have a chance to get you some more in the future." Sapphire took a sip of tea and said.

"Oh, we are vulgar people, and we really can't drink the tea that this literati used to show off." Lan Yu's expression was very painful, her eyebrows twisted into a Sichuan character, "I'm used to drinking, but I think this tea is really bitter. pharynx."

"If uncle doesn't mind, you can taste the wine I brewed myself." Zhu Xiongying got up and said.

"Well, I didn't expect our eldest nephew to know how to make wine? Hurry up and give us a taste!" Sapphire laughed three times.

"Okay, uncle is waiting."

Zhu Xiongying entered the room.

Sapphire nodded, and almost jumped up from the chair immediately.

"The eldest nephew called me uncle just now!"
