After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Bai Lu looked down and saw a bird made of bamboo.

Compared with the pair of exquisitely crafted ruby-gilded rabbits, the craftsmanship of this bamboo bird is a bit crude, but each bamboo strip is polished to be smooth and not prickly at all.

It is only the size of a palm and looks very cute.

Did he write it himself?

Bai Lu raised her head and looked in the direction where Hu Yanjin left.

Chunfen looked over and couldn't help but smile: "Sister Bailu, he is so thoughtful, why don't you consider it!"

Bai Lu's pretty face turned slightly red. She put the bamboo bird back into her sleeve pocket, spat at her and said, "The master is still in there, you better be careful and fight!"

"Why did I deserve to be beaten?"

Chunfen refused and followed her into the room.

Qin Yaoguang sat in his original position, looking thoughtful.

Yan Changqing specially returned to Beijing to tell her the life stories of his five children, which was something she never expected.

Don't you think it's too risky for him to do this?

Or, is there another purpose?

Qin Yaoguang really couldn't figure out what Yan Changqing's intention was.

Seeing her thinking, Chunfen carefully removed the cold tea and served her a new cup of hot tea.

There are faint traces of water on the table.

Did it get knocked over?

Chunfen swallowed the question back into his stomach.

Since it was a confidential matter of her master, she shouldn't pay attention to it, not even think about it.

Outside the Princess's Mansion.

Two figures appeared at the entrance of the alley. Hu Yanjin was seen leaving the mansion with a soldier, and they joined the dozen people at the door and left in a mighty manner.

An hour later.

"Did you see clearly?"

"Yes, I saw it clearly, it was Hu Yanjin."

"So, Yan Changqing's people can really be controlled by Le Yang?"

The man stroked his short beard and exclaimed, "How strange, how strange!"

With them getting in the way for a whole ten years, how could these two people still work together?

He shook his head and said, "No, he must have done it for show, for everyone to see."

Even if Yan Changqing has the intention, how can the knot in the princess' heart that has lasted for ten years be so easily resolved?

He stretched out his hand to grind the ink, and quickly wrote a letter. After the ink dried, he sealed it with wax and said, "Send it to the mansion as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

Near noon, the dark clouds that had accumulated over the capital city dissipated a little, and a thin ray of sunlight shone through.

The boot-throwing battle in the court came to an end, and the ministers left the court angrily and will continue tomorrow.

This will be a long battle.

There was chaos in the residence of the Minister of the Imperial Guards, and people were worried.

Inside one of the small courtyards.

"Mom, I'm back! What are we having for lunch today?"

A sturdy young man of about seventeen or eighteen ran in from outside, sweating profusely.

It was early winter, and he was only wearing a single piece of coarse cloth. Hot sweat was oozing out of his back and his forehead was steaming.

His mother stopped embroidering, looked at him and smiled, "Go change your clothes quickly, be careful not to catch a cold. Don't always rely on your good health, or you will suffer in the future."

"I have freshly ground soy milk, some beans and pig lungs. I made some pig lung and bean soup with rice. Go and help yourself."

"okay!"

The young man walked into the house swiftly, changed his clothes in no time, went to the kitchen to get two bowls of hot bean soup and rice, and took out two pairs of chopsticks and spoons and placed them on the stone table.

"Mom, come and eat!"

As he spoke, he walked to the water tank, which was filled with fresh well water that he had just picked up that morning.

He took down the wooden spoon hanging next to the water tank, scooped up a large spoonful, and drank from the spoon.

His mother saw him and complained, "Why are you drinking it now? I've told you so many times not to drink raw water, or you'll get diarrhea!"

"mother--"

The young man raised his voice slightly and said in a coquettish way, "My son is in good health, so why should he drink some water? He just practiced martial arts and it's too hot!"

He finished drinking, sat down on the stone bench, and called out, "Mom, come and eat."

The woman put down her needle and thread, went to the kitchen, smashed a cucumber, cut half a piece of steamed bacon, and brought out two cups of hot soy milk.

While eating, his mother slowly instructed: "Ren'an, the mansion has been in chaos these days. You are not allowed to go anywhere except the martial arts training ground."

"Kid knows!"

The boy's name is Xue Ren'an, and he is of the same generation as Xue Rensu.

All the Xue family members in his generation took the character “Ren” (benevolence).

They were orphans and a widow left behind by the third branch of the Xue family. Their natal family had fallen into poverty, so they had no choice but to come to their uncle for help, living in the residence of the Minister of the Weiwei Temple and living under the roof of others.

The eldest wife had no son, and when the rumor of adopting a son spread, the whole family was in an uproar and became anxious.

It was not easy to settle on Xue Rensu, but before he was adopted, that incident happened again.

The eldest wife was already dissatisfied, so how could she be willing to spend five hundred taels of gold to redeem someone?

In order to be adopted, Xue Rensu's parents are now living in the Xue family. Since yesterday, they have stopped lobbying the Minister of the Imperial Guards.

Xue Renan and his mother never thought of adopting him to the eldest wife's house.

No matter how hard life was, he inherited the armor and weapons left by his father, hoping to gain fame on the battlefield through the military examination, and then take his mother away.

At that time, he would marry a wife who would be filial to his mother, and the family would live a happy life behind closed doors.

Xue Ren'an ate a bowl of bean soup and rice while mumbling, "Don't worry, mother. I'm not that stupid. Even in the martial arts training ground, I won't talk to anyone."

"Eat well."

The woman tapped the back of his hand with the tip of her chopsticks and said, "Swallow the food in your mouth before you speak."

After the mother and son had lunch, Xue Renan took a nap and went to the martial arts training ground with his white wax spear.

The Xue family is a large family, and many people want to be the son of the first wife, but the wife of the first wife prefers him because he has the best health.

Because of this, there are many more Xue family members in the martial arts training grounds recently.

Xue Ren'an didn't interact with them and just focused on practicing shooting with the old soldiers.

The Weiwei Temple is in charge of all the arsenals and weapons in the world, as well as the military and ceremonial guards of the imperial capital, so it is naturally easy for young men to learn martial arts.

After practicing with a gun, Xue Ren'an lifted the hem of his shirt, wiped the sweat off his face, and walked backwards to the sidelines.

"boom!"

He bumped into an old lame servant from behind.

The old servant was holding a copper kettle with a pointed mouth. When he bumped into the old servant, the kettle fell and the boiling water inside spilled all over the floor.

Xue Renan was so burned that he jumped up on the spot, holding his feet, his face distorted with pain.

The old servant was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and kowtowed for mercy.

Xue Renan took off his shoes and socks and saw that the entire instep of his right foot was covered with a series of transparent blood blisters due to burns.

It is obviously impossible to practice martial arts these days.

Just as he was feeling depressed, another young man named Xue Renfu came over and kicked the old servant.

"What are you doing? Are you blind? Don't you see our Master Ren'an?"

Xue Renfu was Xue Rensu's strong opponent before. He had always been at odds with the eldest wife because of her attitude.

It is obvious that he is blaming someone indirectly.

Not satisfied with just beating and scolding, Xue Renfu picked up the copper kettle with a pointed mouth and smashed it towards the old servant, leaving his head covered in blood.

Xue Ren'an was furious. He didn't care about the pain in his instep and held the white wax spear in his hand horizontally in front of Xue Renfu.
