I am old in the Han Dynasty

Huo Qubing swallowed back the words that came to his lips, "He is not sensible, but dull." Turning to Huo Guang, seeing him still beside Xie Lang, "Come here!"

Xie Lang handed the watermelon to him, "If you can't finish it, give it to Brother Monkey." He pointed at the golden monkey sitting beside Xiao Qi waiting to be fed.

"Brother Monkey doesn't eat his, but mine." Xiao Qi continued, "Brother Monkey doesn't know him."

Xie Lang looked at Huo Guang, "Then give it to your brother. I don't dare eat half of it to fill my stomach with watermelon, and he can't finish it either."

"Brother can't finish eating, why don't you give it back to him?" Huo Guang asked weakly, suspecting that he had heard it wrong.

Xiao Qi continued, "Keep him for lunch."

"I'll eat grapes in the afternoon." Huo Qubing said, he looked towards the vine, and found that there was another tree next to it, and there were fruits on it, "What is that?"

Xie Lang followed his gaze, "The figs are not yet ripe."

"That's the fig tree." Huo Qubing had eaten it before, but never cared about it. "Is it ripe in golden autumn?"

Xie Lang thought about the time when the figs were ripe last year, "Almost."

"Then I'll bring you to eat the figs when they're ripe." Huo Qubing glanced at Huo Guang and saw that he was still in his arms, "Why don't you eat it?"

Xie Lang saw it, "Your brother has never eaten like this, so don't embarrass him." He took the watermelon from Huo Guang's hand, cut it into thin slices for easy chewing, and then handed it to him.

Huo Guang breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Lang almost burst out laughing when he heard this, and worried that he would be more reserved, so he had nothing to say, "I heard that His Majesty sent Zhang Qian and Li Guang to lead the army, are they the only ones?"

"There are few Xiongnu over there, it's all right." Huo Qubing said.

Xiaoqi clicked his tongue.

"What's wrong?" Huo Qubing said, "I have wiped out the main force of the Xiongnu. Can the whole army be wiped out?"

Xiao Qi pouted at Xie Lang.

Xie Lang sighed, "He is not suitable for commanding soldiers."

"And Zhang Qian." Huo Qubing said.

Xie Lang: "Zhang Qian didn't fight the Huns either."

Huo Qubing couldn't help but glanced to the north, "Impossible."

"Forget it if you don't believe it." Xie Lang said, "I thought His Majesty was the only one who didn't believe in evil, but I didn't expect you to be the only one."

Huo Qubing: "Uncle also said that it will be successful this time."

Now Xie Lang was surprised, "When?"

"Before Li Guang went out to fight." Huo Qubing remembered one thing, "This time they are all elite soldiers and good horses."

Xie Lang let out a long sigh.

Huo Qubing's heart was in his throat, and he led Huo Guang home after a quick lunch at noon.Huo Qubing sent him home and rode his horse into the palace.

Liu Che understood what he had come for, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Li Guang is not as useless as Sanlang said." However, after a while, Liu Che couldn't laugh anymore. Li Guang killed many Huns, and his army also died. Collapse.

Xie Lang said more than once that he can only be a lieutenant general, not suitable to personally lead a soldier.After Li Guang came back, Liu Che didn't have the nerve to go to Shanglin Garden, because he was afraid of running into Xie Lang, who would tease him.

Xie Lang's family's land was still planted, and for fear of missing the harvest, Zhang Da sat outside the door every day to wait for the people in the silkworm farm, so he had no time to care about Li Guang and Wai Guang.Still, he knew.But it wasn't what Xiao Qi said.

Taixue also has a holiday during the busy farming season, and Xiaoqi didn't go to the city, so he didn't know about it.Xie Lang heard it from Qian Xiaohua who cared about Li Guang very much.

Xie Lang laughed it off as soon as he heard it, because he was busy with other things in the field.Because he was too busy, Liu Che didn't bother him for a long time, and he didn't notice.

In the golden autumn of September, Huo Qubing brought his younger brother Huo Guang over. Xie Lang noticed that Huo Guang seemed to have grown taller, so he realized that Huo Qubing had not been here for a long time.

Xie Lang asked concerned, "Have you been busy recently?"

"I know you're busy, so I don't have the nerve to come." Huo Qubing half-truthfully said.

Xie Lang didn't suspect him, and found that Huo Guang was more reserved than before, so he couldn't help calling Huo Qubing aside, and whispered, "You told me last time that your younger brother is smart, and I don't want him to be like your biological father, doing nothing all his life. I brought him to my side. Since you have this heart, don't bully him."

"Why are you the same as what uncle said?" Huo Qubing frowned.

Xie Lang: "No?"

"I don't know what's going on with him. He and I are the only two in my house. I'm not at home. He is the head of the family. No one dares to bully him. At first I was worried that he would become lawless, but he..." Huo Qubing shook his head, with a helpless expression, "Third Uncle, you are well-informed, help me try."

Xie Lang thought about Huo Guang in history. He was cautious and cautious, and he had never made a mistake by Liu Che's side for decades. "I can only deal with skinny children. I can't do anything with honest children. Don't you know if someone is bullying him?"

"Since he moved in, my mother hasn't been there." Huo Qubing said.

Xie Lang: "Then you serve some snacks. If no one bullies him, just leave it alone." The conversation changed, "Didn't you want to eat figs last time? They are ripe. Xiaoqi has been tired of eating these few days."

"Xiao Qi follows you, it's hard not to get tired of it." Huo Qubing just asked Huo Guang to follow Xiao Qi, and Huo Guang followed Xiao Qi obediently.Xiao Qi went to the hut, and he was outside the hut.Xiao Qi went to fetch water to wash his hands, and he stood in the well water.

The last time Huo Guang came here, Xiao Qi knew that he was honest, and he never expected him to be so honest.So much so that Xiao Qi didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of scaring him.

Xiao Qi asked with the gentlest voice in her life, "Do you want to eat grapes?"

"I'm not thirsty, thank you." Huo Guang said.

Xiaoqi: "Then do you eat figs?"

Huo Guang hesitated, "...don't eat."

Huo Qubing happened to see this scene when he came over. Seeing Huo Guang glance at the figs, he knew that his younger brother had a different heart, "Xiaoqi, which one is delicious?"

"The kind that cracks a little bit." Xiao Qi said.

Huo Qubing went to the kitchen to find a bamboo basket as small as a vegetable plate, and when he picked a basket full, he waved to Huo Guang, "Come and eat."

Huo Guang's first reaction was to look for Xie Lang.

"Third Uncle is tired of eating." Huo Qubing said, "You will know from now on that I didn't lie to you. Third Uncle's family has more fruits than food."

Huo Guang subconsciously looked around.

"Not here." Huo Qubing raised his finger, "It's all his there."

A smile appeared on Huo Guang's face, but he almost didn't say that he was talking nonsense.

"Your brother didn't lie to you. My third master is His Majesty's sworn brother." Xiao Qi pointed at the hall, "Don't look at my third master as a commoner, he speaks better than Prime Minister Gong Sunhong."

Huo Qubing smiled and said, "It's easier to use than Gongsun Hong. Because Gongsun Hong has turned into a handful of bones."

"Gongsun Hong has gone?" Xie Lang came out and asked.

Huo Qubing: "He went in spring. Do you know him?"

"I've heard of it, but I've never seen it before." Xie Lang walked over, "Dongfang Shuo loves to talk about him."

Huo Qubing thought of Dongfang Shuo's mouth, "Who doesn't say anything. Third Uncle, what are you eating today?"

"You didn't eat breakfast?" Xie Lang couldn't help but glance at Huo Guang.

Huo Guang ate figs in small mouthfuls, felt someone watching him, raised his head to meet Xie Lang's gaze, and hurriedly said, "Eat."

"Eat early, it's almost two hours." Autumn is long, Huo Qubing teaches Huo Guang to practice martial arts every morning, so that the two brothers get up at Maoshi, and they have breakfast at Chenshi.

Xie Lang smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that you guys came here, the potatoes you just dug out."

"Potato shreds, potato roast?" Huo Qubing asked tentatively, "Are you making a potato pancake?"

Xiao Qi couldn't help it, "You don't know how to eat anything."

"If I follow Uncle San like you every day, I won't eat Uncle Stewed with Beef and Potatoes." Huo Qubing didn't wait for him to speak, "Because I'm tired of eating too."

Xie Lang smiled and said, "Stop arguing. If you want to eat, go and peel the potatoes."

Huo Qubing gave the plate to Huo Guang, "You and Xiaoqi eat, I will help third uncle cook."

Xie Lang made a potato peeler a long time ago, Huo Qubing took it in his hand, and he peeled six large potatoes in a short time.

An hour later, there were three plates and two pots on the stone table beside the peach tree.Two of them are stewed potatoes with pork, two dishes of shredded potatoes and one dish of potato cakes.

Huo Guang washed his hands and sat down to look for food. However, there were only four empty bowls on the stone table.

"Eat pancakes." Xie Lang was worried that he would be embarrassed, so he used a bamboo tong to hold two pancakes and a lot of shredded potatoes and pork.

The honest and dull Huo Guang finally took the initiative to say, "That's enough, thank you Third Uncle."

Xie Lang wanted to tease him a few words, but was worried that his face would turn red, "That's enough? Xiao Qi is as old as you and can eat a plate of shredded potatoes."

"That's an idiot." Huo Qubing said.

Xiaoqi nodded, "Yes. Because he has an uncle who is worthless."

Huo Guang subconsciously looked around.

"There are only me and Xiaoqi in my family." Xie Lang said with a smile, "The uncle he mentioned is your elder brother. He called your elder brother Qubing Uncle."

Huo Guang turned to Huo Qubing.

"Don't listen to his nonsense." Huo Qubing said.

Huo Guang bowed his head with a hum.

Xie Lang noticed that he was tightly pursing his lips, so he knew he was snickering.However, the child was too honest, Xie Lang was too embarrassed to bully him, "Aren't you busy recently?" He looked at Huo Qubing.

"I will be busy in a few days. But my uncle is also busy." Huo Qubing said, "We have received news that the Hun King led tens of thousands of people to surrender, and they will be here soon."

Xie Lang hurriedly asked: "Are all those people here?"

"Of course not. If they feign surrender, Chang'an City will be in danger if they come here." Xie Lang said, "Their king will come here."

Xie Lang felt relieved, "Is your uncle entertaining them?"

"My uncle arranged, His Majesty personally received it." Huo Qubing said.

Xie Lang understood, "Your Majesty has no time to come over recently?"

Huo Qubing nodded, "Third Uncle, when I went to pick figs just now, I saw two little roosters, shall we kill one another day?"

"My third master worked so hard to raise her." Xiao Qi said unhappily.

Huo Qubing: "Didn't you save it for food?"

"They woke me up early in the morning." Xiao Qi said.

Huo Qubing went to Xie Lang after hearing the words.

Xie Lang handed him a potato pancake, "Your brother is almost full."

Huo Qubing followed his gaze and saw that Huo Guang's bowl was empty, "Eat slowly."

"Eat it slowly and it will get cold." Xie Lang said, "I'm too tired to take care of the chicken after harvesting grain and plowing the fields these days. If you want to eat, just buy one from the city and I'll make it for you."

Huo Guang raised his head, wanting to remind Huo Qubing to forget about it.

"Stew it with ginseng?" Huo Qubing asked.

Xie Lang nodded slightly.

The next morning, Huo Qubing came with an old hen in his hand.

Xie Lang shook his head helplessly, sighed, and went to stew for him.

In the evening, when Xiao Qi came back, there was only a small ginseng and a piece of chicken breast left in the clay pot.Without Xie Lang's explanation, Xiao Qi asked, "Uncle Qubing?"

"Can't it be me?" Xie Lang asked back.

Xiao Qi snorted, "I'm not at home, so the third master is too lazy to make this. Even if I do it, I will do it in the afternoon, and I will eat it when I come back."

"He looks strong, but he's actually injured all over, don't worry about him." Xie Lang took Xiao Qi's schoolbag, patted his head and said.

Xiaoqi: "I'm fussy with him, I'm already mad at him."

"Well, our little Qi has really grown up." Xie Lang deliberately pretended to be very pleased, "Go and wash your hands, let's eat."

Xiao Qi hummed, and then went to help Xie Lang serve dishes, seeing that there was still soup, she couldn't help asking, "What day is today?"

"I haven't had seaweed and egg soup for a long time, I want to. If you don't want to drink, you can eat vegetables and rice." Xie Lang said.

Xiao Qi was out all day, very thirsty, and the seaweed soup made by Xie Lang was very sour and appetizing, Xiao Qi drank a big gulp after blowing it.Feeling comfortable, I said, "I heard a piece of news today."

"Who is it related to?" Gossip in the market, Xiao Qi would not say that, "Your Majesty?"

Xiao Qi nodded, "My third master is my third master. Mrs. Wang is dying soon."

Xie Lang didn't react for a while, trying to figure out who Mrs. Wang was, she was very surprised, "Is she still alive?"

"how do I say this?"

Xie Lang: "In the spring of this year, it was the days when Qubing led the army to go to war. Dongfang Shuo said several times that Mrs. Wang was not in good health. I thought she had gone."

"It's really bad this time." Xiao Qi said, "I have a classmate who is somewhat related to Mrs. Wang's natal family. When I came to Taixue today, I sighed and sighed, just like my own mother died."

Xie Lang didn't know much about Mrs. Wang in her previous life. He only heard that Liu Che liked him so much that he even asked a magic stick to summon her soul, "It has nothing to do with us. After Mrs. Wang leaves, there will be other wives. My son is the crown prince, Your Majesty is looking for a prince, we pretend not to know."

Xiao Qi hurriedly looked out, saw that there was no one there, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Third Master, Your Majesty will be very sad to hear that."

"He's only going to be angry." A day of anger will be fine.Xie Lang didn't say this, "I'm not joking, don't worry about his personal affairs. Your grandpa Meng Da hates this the most."

Seeing his serious expression, Xiaoqi said, "I'll make a note. Third master, Uncle Qu Bing cares so much about his younger brother, why didn't he send him to the imperial academy?"

"He doesn't learn how to write Fu, and he doesn't want to be a doctor of imperial studies. Going to imperial studies is a waste of time. He is different from you. You used to learn literacy from our village master, and he learned from his father. His father is better than our village. Your master is learned, although he is younger than you, he knows more than you did two years ago." Xie Lang explained to him.

Xiao Qi understood, "Uncle Qubing is here, he can't read half a pocket, but he's good at work and can be a servant."

"Yes." Seeing that he had finished drinking, Xie Lang gave him another bowl.

After Xiao Qi finished drinking, he ate another bowl of white rice and many dishes, Xie Lang knew that he was tired today, so he didn't let him wash the dishes.Xiao Qi boiled some water on the stove, washed himself up, and Xie Lang sent him back to his room to rest.

Xiao Qiben wanted to read a book for a while before going to bed, but yawned when he sat on the couch.

Xie Lang closed the doors and windows, went to his room to urge him to sleep, Xiao Qi was already snoring.

Xie Lang smiled silently and blew out the lamp, then went back to his room to rest.

The next day, Xie Lang woke up and heard a bird call, Xie Lang thought of the pigeons he had kept for a long time.When Xiaoqi rode to Taixue, Xie Lang asked him to bring a pigeon there.

Half an hour later, a pigeon appeared on the fig tree.Even if Xie Lang was mentally prepared, he was still very excited when he saw the pigeon fly back.

After eating a little at noon, Xie Lang went to the city to buy a large lamb ribs and mutton himself.

In the evening, Xiao Qi smelled the strong smell of meat at the door of the house, and frowned. When he opened the door and saw Liu Che, Xiao Qi was very surprised, "Grandpa Meng Da didn't come?"

"Your grandpa Meng Da is busy with state affairs and has no time to come over."

Xiao Qi's eyes lit up, and he followed the sound, "Grandpa Zhongqing?"

Wei Qing came over with a plate of figs, "I thought you forgot about me."

"It's almost like you forgot about us." Xiao Qi said, "Reckon yourself how long you haven't come."

Wei Qing knew it was almost two months without counting.It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he's embarrassed, and he's worried that Xie Lang will say goodbye to him.After all, he had chatted with Xie Lang about Li Guang, and more than once, he should stop him both publically and privately.

But when Wei Qing thought that Li Guang's greatest wish in this life was to be named a marquis, Wei Qing felt embarrassed, because he was old, and every expedition might be the last.

"I'm busy. Didn't Qubing tell you? I'll be even busier in a few days." Wei Qing said.

Xiaoqi: "Why are you free today?"

"My servant met your third master." Wei Qing said truthfully, "Your third master told him that the pigeon is finished, I can't wait until tomorrow."

Xiao Qi understood, "I smelled barbecue just now, the third master just wanted to celebrate this?"
