I sell hot pot in Dasong [farming]
Chapter 24 Sleeping Together [Entering V]
A pot exploded in the county palace.
The bronze decree of Xiaojun Wang has finally been sent out!
Everyone was pleasantly surprised and excited, and rushed to tell each other.
Immediately afterwards, another piece of news came——
The king of Xiaojun gave a bronze token that symbolizes the identity of the princess to a young gentleman...
Everyone is bad.
The gardener broke a tree branch, the cook pierced the iron pot, a caregiver almost pinched the doorman's wrist when he was distracted, and the old housekeeper almost passed out clutching his heart.
The group supported the trembling old butler, and secretly touched the lake.
Tang Xuanzheng took Sinan to visit the county palace.
Simon's mood was a little complicated.
The county palace is so big!
There are six small three-story buildings alone, and there are also bell towers, drum towers, martial arts arenas, and armories. In the stables, red, white, and black Hetao horses, Yili horses, and bloody horses are lined up in two rows. In modern times, it is the Lambo, Martha, and Rolls-Royce with two garages!
The county prince's mansion... How should I put it, it's so "straight".
Looking around, there is not even a flower, not even a grass, just a few trees, or straight young poplars, a huge lake, no Jiuqu bridge, no octagonal pavilion, reeds, lotus, water hyacinth... nothing at all.
From the housekeeper to the doorman, to the cooks in the backyard, and those who wash clothes are all tall men, maybe even the frogs at the bottom of the lake are male.
The person who owns such a county palace is not a straight man, but better than a straight man.
Si Nan stood by the lake and heaved a long sigh.
Sad, frustrated, hopeless in love.
"Don't like it?" Tang Xuan tilted his head.
"No, it's pretty good." Sinan said politely.
Tang Xuan raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
The two walked a small half circle around the lake.
Si Nan had nothing to say, and asked him what he was up to recently, completely forgetting that the two met yesterday.
Tang Xuan replied seriously: "I caught Hua Gui's confidant."
Si Nan asked, "Is that the one named Xiao Yuan?"
Tang Xuan nodded.
"Have you hired?"
"It has been handed over to Kaifeng Mansion, and Bao Mansion Yin is interrogating."
Sinan immediately felt relieved, "Leave the matter to Mr. Bao, it's all right."
Tang Xuan paused, "You trust Mr. Baofu very much?"
"Don't you think he is very reliable? There are so many officials throughout the ages, and there are quite a few capable officials, but how many of them really serve the people and are not corrupt?"
In ancient times, it was too difficult to be an upright official, and the price of being greedy for money and profit was too small. There were always various factors that prompted people to change their temperament.Bao Zheng is one of the rare people who is not greedy for money, not seeking fame and fortune, but who can make drastic changes in office and manage government affairs beautifully.
Si Nan said: "I heard that Mr. Bao passed the Jinshi examination at the age of 29. He could have entered Dali Temple, but because of his elderly parents, he didn't become an official. He didn't become the county magistrate until he was 39."
Tang Xuan nodded: "Bao Fu Yin has been an official for [-] years, so far he has no land or houses in the central capital, and he just lives in the back office of Kaifeng Mansion with his family."
"It's really admirable!" Sinan sighed shaking his head.
Tang Xuan hooked his lips, and brought the topic back without a trace: "I, under the shade of my ancestors, got this house, but I often live in the palace and neglect to take care of it. Do you think it is a bit empty?"
"It's not just 'a little empty', it's too empty!" Sinan was still immersed in Mr. Bao's noble character, and told the truth without paying attention.
It was only after he finished speaking that he realized, "You lied to me?"
Tang Xuan raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"You, you, you... are simply too bad." Sinan was good at poking him.
So you are such Yan Junwang!
Don't think I'll forgive you if you smile nicely!
Tang Xuan supported him to prevent him from falling into the lake.
Sinan jumped up and down to fight with him.
For a moment, the quiet lakeside became very lively, and Sinan's voice alone overwhelmed the entire palace.
Behind the big tree, the old butler almost passed out again.
Happy this time.
He didn't expect to see the little master smile in his lifetime. If he hadn't seen him happily squinting his eyes, raising his eyebrows, and curling the corners of his mouth with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that all of this was true.
——Since the general and the princess left, the little master seemed to have lost all expression other than his blank face, which broke the heart of these old guys.
Tang Xuan softened his tone, as if coaxing people: "Brother Thirteen and Sister Taotao will return to the palace after the Dragon Boat Festival. I plan to tidy up the yard and come back to live. Do you have any suggestions?"
"No, right now...it's fine." Sinan struggled for a while, but still felt that it would be better not to interfere with others.
Tang Xuan hooked his lips, "Let's talk about it then."
Simon:? ? ?
I said no!
"I want to hear your thoughts." Tang Xuan tilted his head and looked at him with a smile.
Sinan was instantly fascinated by the beauty, his little heart was pounding, but he still said calmly: "My thoughts are not important, and I can't help it."
"You can come and live anytime you want."
Simon:! ! !
Boy, do you know that you are responsible for seductive people?
"For example, in this lake, can we plant some green lotus?" Tang Xuan asked.
"We should really plant some. It's so big and empty. At first glance, I thought it was fake." Sinan was drawn into it unknowingly.
"Even if you don't grow lotus, you can grow some water chestnuts and water chestnuts. After they are cooked, throw them into the pot, eat them boiled, fried, fried with green bamboo shoots, stewed with ribs, whatever you want eat……"
Tang Xuan smiled: "Is there any more?"
"There is still a yard, there are no flowers or grass, and there will be a hostess in the future, how can you watch the snow, flowers, and moon with others, from poetry to poetry to philosophy of life?"
hostess?
Gao Taotao's face flashed in front of Tang Xuan's eyes, and he quickly shook his head.
too frightening.
J.
The cook and the gardener are having a passionate discussion.
"I said I won't let you pull out the clump of reeds, and don't pull out the lotus root either. Let's see, the guests hate it."
"I can't rely on me for this matter. The third child said that reeds and lotus leaves are the best places to hide people. It's safe to pull them out."
The cook stared: "This is Bianjing, not Northwest."
The gardener didn't show any weakness: "If you don't agree, say it earlier. It's been more than ten years, and it's only now."
The cook was confident: "Didn't Mr. Xiao Lang remind me of this!"
The gardener rolled his eyes: "I dare say you don't have much taste, you still have the face to criticize me."
"Quiet." The nurse said coldly.
The cook and the gardener immediately fell silent.
The third child lost his temper and shut up to save his life.
The nurse glanced at the two of them, "Why did you and I come here?"
"Investigate the relationship between the prince and Mr. Xiao Lang." The cook and the gardener answered obediently.
The nursing home retracted its gaze and looked at the two by the lake again.
The cook and the gardener threw a few knives silently, neither of them convinced the other.
At this time, Sinan just said: "As a friend, I can't actually give you any advice. It's better to let the person who may live in in the future decide."
——When he said this, even he himself felt sour.
The people behind the big tree were excited.
Did you hear that?
Mr. Xiao Lang said "as friends", so he and the prince are just friends, and there is no ulterior relationship!
The old butler nodded in relief: that's a relief.
It's just a friend who can casually send out the princess token, what's so important?
However, a new problem has arisen.
What's the background of this little gentleman?
Why was he chosen by the prince to be his friend?
A few black shadows rushed out of the palace, and found all of Sinan's information within minutes.
Everyone was stunned: The son of a merchant?A hot pot seller on the side of Zhouqiao?
This status... is it a little lower?
Several people looked at Sinan in unison.
Si Nan was sitting cross-legged on the lake embankment, beside a poplar tree, a few leaves had fallen to the ground.I saw him picking left and right, and finally chose the two biggest ones, and Tang Xuan and Tang Xuan had a decisive battle...
"You're broken! You lost! Give me money!" Sinan laughed.
The too bright smiling face not only provoked Tang Xuan to hand over a copper coin willingly, but also relieved the few people who were secretly observing.
"Actually... the son of a merchant, it's all right, right?"
"Think about us back then, we were just big soldiers with no money and no land, did the general despise you and me?"
"Back then, the princess was at the border, going in and out with the women in the army, and she had no airs at all."
"What is this called Ping?"
"Approachable."
"That's right, the prince must have followed the general and the princess."
The old housekeeper burst into tears.
The little master had never played with leaf stalks when he was a child, he would only hold the arrow and shoot the target over and over again, and said coldly that he wanted to avenge his parents.
Now it is more lively than before.
It's nice to have friends!
In the evening, Tang Xuan left Sinan for dinner at the palace, using the new dining table that Sinan just brought.
——If you follow Tang Xuan, you will definitely treasure it quietly and be reluctant to use it.It's just that before he asked someone to move away, the nursing home brought it over and put it on.
Watching the vats being placed on the table, her pretty lips were pursed into a straight line.However, the elders were all focused on Sinan, and no one cared about him.
The old housekeeper smiled and introduced everyone to Sinan, and Sinan called out his sweet uncle.
The hardened hearts of the men softened.
The cook rubbed his hands and pointed to the big wooden barrel on the table, "Let's go and eat, if you don't have enough, then do it again."
There are four big barrels in total.
One bucket is full of white rice, one bucket is filled with baked white buns, and the other two buckets are filled with sauce-flavored big bones and stewed mutton.
Typical Northwest Army style.
"The master said that there might be guests today, so let us prepare it early in the morning. The pigs and sheep are all freshly killed. The fire should be boiled alternately for two hours. At this time, the taste should be... Xiao Lang, you try it taste?"
If it were an ordinary person, it would probably be scary.
Si Nan bent his eyes and looked at Tang Xuan with a smile, "You know I'm coming?"
Tang Xuan turned his face away and hummed.
Yesterday Sinan said that he would send him a table, so he thought, what if it is today?So I hurried back early in the morning and waited.
Si Nan grinned, "What if I don't come?"
"Then tomorrow." If tomorrow doesn't come, there will be the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow... one day it will come.
If he still doesn't come, he will "remind" him.
Si Nan's heart was a little soft, but also a little sweet. Just now, he felt that the two of them were out of action, but at this moment, a cluster of small flames ignited again.
Probably, maybe, is there such a possibility?
dinner's ready.
Tang Xuan looked at the rough vats, big bones, and large pieces of meat on the table, and then thought about the exquisite small balls, small wontons, and small shrimp dumplings that Si Nan made for him. For the first time, he wondered whether the eating habits at home should be changed. changed.
Slightly... embarrassing.
Unexpectedly, Sinan picked up a big bone very boldly, and gnawed it with his small teeth, but he was very happy.
The butler smiled, "My lord said that Mr. Xiao Lang grew up in Bianjing and had never been to the Northwest. I was afraid that you might not be used to this dry bun, so I steamed a bucket of rice..."
"No, no, I really like mutton steamed buns."
Si Nan immediately grabbed one from the bucket, tore it and put it into a stoneware bowl, then scooped up a spoonful of hot soup on it with a long spoon, squinted his eyes and sniffed it, and immediately laughed, "It's delicious!"
It doesn't look like a fake.
The butler smiled more sincerely.
Tang Xuan smirked, and picked two pieces of good meat for him and put them in the bowl.
Sinan ate until his mouth became oily and rosy.
The delicate little face and the wild eating appearance don't really go well together, but in the eyes of everyone in the palace, they just think it's really cute and cute, and they look like their own family.
What's better than having guests enjoy their meals?
The butler smiled and said with emotion: "No wonder I can be friends with the prince, he is a very good young gentleman!"
Everyone nodded.
The old brothers were rarely happy, carrying wine jars and big sauce bones, sitting on the table in disorder, eating and chatting.
Chatting chatter chatter to the future princess.
Is it as gentle and virtuous as a princess, or as sharp and sharp as the little lady of the Gao family?
It would be great if I could be as likable as Mr. Si Xiaolang!
by the lake.
Si Nan said while eating: "These people in your family are really nice."
"They...are elders."
Tang Xuan paused, and told Sinan his life experience.
His mother is a daughter of the Zhao family, the Taizu's branch, who was named a princess because of her marriage.Unexpectedly, as soon as Xia Ren left the country, he suddenly broke the contract and wanted to threaten Da Song with the princess.
Tang Xuan's father was the guard of the border city at that time, and rescued the princess by himself, turning the situation around.Later, the two fell in love with each other and asked the official family to marry them.
The princess did not return to Beijing, but was willing to accompany General Tang to station in the border town.Although life is poor, the two have actually lived in love for several years.
In the second year of Baoyuan, the Song-Xia War broke out.
General Tang died in battle.
The princess was deceived by the spy and was taken captive to the summer camp.
The two armies confronted each other, and the enemy shamelessly threatened the Song army with the life of the princess.
In front of tens of thousands of soldiers, the princess only said softly, "I hope the officials will take care of my son", and died generously.
In that battle, Song Jun was red-eyed.
That year, Tang Xuan was less than two years old.
After the war ended, the orphan who lost his parents was sent back to the ancestral house in Bianjing by the Tang family, and the official family brought him into the palace and raised him personally.
The cooks, gardeners, courtyard guards in the mansion, and those who did not show up in the dark were all generals under General Tang's command back then. They had the opportunity to rise to the top with their military exploits, but they gave up for Tang Xuan.
The old butler has stayed in this house for decades, serving three generations of the Tang family, and he is like an elder.
……
Si Nan usually has such good eloquence, but this time he was hoarse.
Any words of comfort seemed so pale.
He was silent for a long time, and he took a piece of meat for Tang Xuan, his movements were very careful, and his tone was very gentle, "You... eat more."
Tang Xuan smiled, "Okay."
All sadness is gone.
Only the breeze by the lake and the smell of meat in the bucket remain.
After dinner, it was still light.
Si Nan was thinking about Erlang, and originally wanted to go home, but Tang Xuan coaxed him into the study for some reason, and was fascinated by the swords and swords in the study for some reason.
Tang Xuan's study is also very "straight". There are no incense, hanging paintings, carved screens, blue and white porcelain, and not even many books. There are only simple or sharp weapons.
Next to each weapon is an "instruction manual", which describes the origin, material, characteristics, and experience of using the weapon in detail.The handwriting is strong and strong, and the words are concise and clear, as if written by Tang Xuan himself.
Si Nan suddenly felt that this seemingly cold Lord County King actually had a warm man in his heart.He only focuses on what he cares about, and is only gentle to those who care about him.
Suddenly a little envious.
It is really a blessing to be able to be loved by him.
Si Nan turned his head and saw Tang Xuan yawned.
Not to mention, it's quite rare.
Tang Xuan gave people the impression that he was a heavenly soldier and general who did not eat grains, and would never yawn or fart like ordinary people.
"Sleepy?" Si Nan asked.
"No." Tang Xuan quickly denied.
Sinan couldn't help laughing, how could he look like a guilty child.
Just when the housekeeper came in to deliver tea, he gave Tang Xuan a reproachful look, "Can you not be sleepy? I went out to a banquet yesterday, and went to clear the bandits at night, and today I didn't close my eyes because I was waiting for Mr. Xiaolang... Sigh!"
Si Nan was startled, it's been two days and one night!
Are there still few cases of sudden death when staying up late?
In an instant, Sinan's boyfriend was overwhelmed, and he pushed Tang Xuan on the low couch, "Hurry up and sleep, sleep now, I will watch you."
Tang Xuan was slightly surprised: "Aren't you leaving?"
Si Nan stared, "You want to drive me away?"
Tang Xuan chuckled, "Aren't you going to chase you away?"
"If the answer is correct, add [-] points."
Sinan poked his eyelids, "Quick, close your eyes."
Tang Xuan closed obediently.
The butler nodded in satisfaction, and quietly retreated out.
The door was gently closed, and only Tang Xuan and Si Nan were left in the study.
Tang Xuan tilted his head and confirmed again and again: "Are you really going?"
Si Nan just propped his arms on the side of the couch, and said with a smirk: "Can't bear to miss me?"
The young man propped his chin, his skin was fair, his cheeks were slightly bulging, and his bright black eyes were watery.
Tang Xuan nodded honestly, really reluctant.
On the contrary, Si Nan felt embarrassed, "Close your eyes."
Tang Xuan pursed his lips and closed his eyes.
Si Nan patted his flushed face and looked at him blatantly.
So handsome!
Jianmei Xingmu is talking about this kind of person, right?
The shape of the nose is also so perfect, it seems that if there is more or less, the taste will be lost.
The sexy Adam's apple is indispensable.
There is also a very shallow layer of stubble... For such a perfect man, even the lush stubble is sexier than others.
Si Nan was concentrating on watching, when those eyes like stars and moons suddenly opened.
Si Nan felt guilty, "Why, why aren't you asleep?"
Tang Xuan lowered his brows and eyes slightly, helplessly and spoiled.
If you don't open your eyes, something big will happen.
The young man was so close to him, his soft breath was like a small feather, gently sweeping over the sensitive areas, he resisted so much that he didn't let himself be rude.
Tang Xuan raised his hand and pressed it on top of his head, "You sleep for a while too."
Simon focused on that hand.
The slender fingers, warm and strong, immediately covered his head.It was the breath of a man that fascinated him.
Simon's face burned a little.
"What did you eat to grow up, your hands are so long?" In order to hide his embarrassment, he pulled the hand off carelessly, and looked at the fingers one by one.
A very "manly" hand with slightly dark skin, with tiny scars and thin calluses, which were worn out by bowing and archery all year round.
Si Nan glanced at his little finger, and immediately lost.
Tang Xuan also saw it, and couldn't help finding his white and delicate fingertips, and squeezed them.
Si Nan stared, "Why? Dare to take advantage of your Brother Nan!"
"This is called taking advantage?" Tang Xuan smiled lightly, and squeezed again.
How can you lose at this time!
Si Nan squeezed it back without showing any weakness.
Two people, you pinch me, and I pinch you, childishly competing.
To be exact, only Sinan was competing.
Tang Xuan was like a lazy leopard, fondly teasing his little hairball.
I don't know how long it took for Sinan to react, and to save face, he ordered: "Stop playing, go to sleep."
Tang Xuan closed his eyes, with a smile on his brows and mouth.
Simon also laughed.
It's kind of funny to be childish once in a while.
Si Nan withdrew his hand.
Tang Xuan's fingertips moved uncomfortably.
After touching the warmth, I am not used to returning to the lonely look again.
After a while, Tang Xuan's breathing became even.
Sinan asked in a breathy tone, "Are you asleep?"
"Fell asleep."
Simon: ...
Si Nan ignored him and took the local chronicles to pass the time.Even with the memory of the original body, I am still not used to the vertical version of classical Chinese.
When I read the first page, my eyes were a little dazed, but I barely turned to the second page, my long eyelashes drooped, and I fell asleep completely after turning to the third page.
Tang Xuan opened his eyes and turned his head to look at him.
He has never put anyone else in his eyes, so there is no way to compare.Looking at the boy's eyebrows and eyes now, I feel that nothing is not cute, even the sound of his light breathing is pleasant.
Seeing him drooping his brows and eyes, he fell asleep peacefully, as if his fatigue had disappeared.
It turned out that there was someone next to my pillow, so I felt at ease.
------
Sinan didn't want to know how he got back to Chatang Lane at all.
It was already the second day when he opened his eyes. Erlang was staring at him with his arms folded, and the first thing he said was: "Are you drunk, or is your head broken? Awake?"
No, neither.
He just slept too deeply and trusted Tang Xuan too much.
I don't know how Tang Xuan carried him into the carriage, and how he carried him off...
What a shame!
Brother Nan lost all face.
Fortunately, everyone was busy these two days, Tang Xuan wanted to investigate Wuyou Cave, and Si Nan was also busy transferring Erlang's school, so there was no chance to mention embarrassing things.
Treat it as a dream, and lose your memory when you wake up!
……
On April [-], the sun is shining brightly.
The lotus flowers on both sides of the Royal Street bloomed tenderly all over the canal, and the young ladies stood by the canal, smiling lightly, discussing which lotus flower is the most beautiful.
The gentlemen stood on the porch, watching from a distance, and wondering which lady was the most lovely.
Fields of lotus leaves, colorful clothes and sleeves.
Good things always make people feel bright.
Si Nan rode a small tricycle and galloped past Yujie.
Now there is no one on this street who doesn't know him, just like Tang Xuan when mentioning Xuan Tie Gong, when seeing the three-wheeled speeding car, everyone in Bianjing knows that it is Mr. Si Lang by the state bridge.
Today, there is a young man with a tiger head and a tiger brain in the car bucket.
A regular customer greeted from a distance: "Aren't you going out of the stall today?"
"Not going out, take my brother to the academy." Sinan replied with a smile.
"Which academy?"
"Ruoshui."
“Great place!”
"Yes, I hope he will be successful in the future."
Sinan smiled and rode away.
Everyone who knew the details of the Si family praised him.
When the Si family had accidents one after another, everyone thought that the two brothers' life would be difficult sooner or later.Unexpectedly, the young man who was not as weak as the crown actually made his life more and more prosperous.
Ruoshui Academy is located in the southeast of Bianjing City, just walk out of the Xinsong Gate and walk two miles south.
Because it is outside the city, the land price is cheap, so it was built very large. There are two gates on the north and south sides. The archway with blue bricks and red tiles has five pillars and two entrances, which is very grand.
It is said that the couplets on both sides of the south gate were inscribed by Mr. Fan Zhongyan, and the couplets on the north side were written by Mr. Yan Shu.
The south gate faces Yichun Garden, the north gate is not far from Xinsong Gate, and there is a special chariot gate on the east side, which is very convenient to enter and exit.
There are school buildings, dormitories, library pavilions, and a huge racecourse in the academy.
Because the environment is good and the husband is also knowledgeable, there are not only children from ordinary families who come to study, but also many children from official families. Most of them hope to study in ten or eight years and get a Jinshi background.There are really not many people like the brothers of the Si family rushing to learn martial arts.
"It's beautiful inside. It's built like a garden in the south of the Yangtze River, especially the racetrack. You must like it." Sinan rode a small tricycle and went straight to the east gate. "There are more than 20 small Yunnan horses in the stable. Horses are specially used to teach you little beans."
Erlang was so excited when he heard "Racing Racecourse" that he didn't care that he called himself Xiaodouding.
The gatekeeper is thick and strong, and he looks like a Lianjiazi at first glance.
Si Nan greeted him kindly, and handed over Erlang's enrollment nameplate.
He was good-looking and smiling, and the gatekeeper couldn't help being more enthusiastic, and called a clever boy to lead them the way.
The boy walked in front, and Si Nan rode a tricycle and pulled Erlang and his luggage to follow behind.
The boy couldn't hold back, and quietly looked back.
Si Nan smiled and said, "Brother, you might as well sit up, I'll carry you."
"No, no, no." The boy waved his hands repeatedly.
There are strict rules in the academy, and there are clear barriers between students and servants. He dare not break the rules.
Si Nan simply stopped the car and walked with him holding the handle.In this way, the young man moved back a little, just enough to see the little three rounds clearly, so he wouldn't be rude.
Erlang also jumped out of the car and walked beside Si Nan.
This young man is smart, knowing that the two brothers are taking care of him, he couldn't help but be moved, "The young one's name is Tao Ran, and he just transferred to the elementary school to serve in this ten days. If you need it, you can call the young one around."
Erlang held the handle in a dignified manner, "Student Si Jia, I will trouble Brother Tao Ran from now on."
Tao Ran hurriedly bowed, "Don't dare."
Tao Ran introduced the situation of the academy along the way, such as what to pay attention to in the morning class, how to match the three meals, and the taboos that need to be avoided in group life, all of which are easy pitfalls for newcomers, very practical.
Erlang has a meticulous mind at a young age, he doesn't talk much, but he is transparent, and every time he catches up with a sentence or two, he can always catch people's attention.
Tao Ran couldn't help being awed, and vaguely felt that although this young gentleman came from an ordinary background, given time, he would definitely not be something in the pool.
When he arrived at the dormitory, Erlang felt like a duck to water.
There is a room full of little Douding, the eldest is six or seven years old, and the youngest is only four years old. Although Erlang is not the oldest, he is strong and strong, with a quack air, and with a few words, he scares the group of white and tender young scholars .
It's not enough to just play tricks, the second trick is food strategy.
Before coming here, Sinan spent most of the day making him a large pack of snacks, including millet crispy rice, sesame noodles, beef jerky, preserved apricots...there are all kinds of biscuits and other flavors.
Erlang poured out his brains and let the students choose.
The young gentlemen were a little shy at first, and were embarrassed to accept it.Erlang grabbed a handful of crispy rice and chewed it deliciously.
The little ones swallowed their saliva, who was the first to stretch out their little hands, and then all of them ate happily.
Finally, there is an ultimate big move - own small three rounds.
Due to military considerations, the officials have not released the blueprint of the tricycle, and the folks would not dare to imitate it even if they could, so no one except the officials and Sinan have this thing.
Erlang bribed Sinan with a sweet brother, asking him to take his roommates around the open space.
The young gentlemen immediately opened their hearts, and they almost hugged Erlang's leg to recognize the elder brother.
Si Nan watched his cub's operations, and suddenly felt a little sad. This kid usually spends too little time on him!
After agreeing with Erlang to come and see him in two days, Sinan left without hesitation.
In fact, most young men under the age of ten do not stay in the dormitory. They just rest in the dormitory at noon and will be picked up by their parents in the evening.Si Nan originally wanted to do the same, but Erlang refused.
First, he wanted to get up in the morning to practice martial arts to save time on the road.Secondly, during school hours, Sinan happened to be going to the morning market to buy vegetables, and after school, the snack trucks were the busiest, so he didn't want Sinan to work too hard.
The little guy thinks so maturely, what else can Sinan say?
When I got home, it was already evening.
Si Nan stood at the door and looked around, feeling empty.It's just that there is one person missing, why is it a little too quiet?
He sat on the threshold, suddenly a little dazed.
Usually, at this time, he would either be setting up a stall in Zhouqiao, or bickering with Erlang at home.
The two brothers bickered over a wide range of topics, whether duck intestines are delicious or goose intestines, whether the clothes should be mended after washing, why two copper coins are missing, chopsticks are held upside down... you can talk about any trivial matter .
Si Nan was really not used to being left alone in the cold.
I don't know how long he sat there in a daze, until the smoke rose from the roofs of the neighbors, Sinan stamped his numb feet, and slowly moved to the thatched shed.
Cook something to eat, you have to get used to eating alone.
Since the stinky boy is not here, why don't you cook something delicious, tell him when you meet tomorrow, and be greedy for him.
wrong……
I won't be able to see him tomorrow, but I made an agreement to see him again the day after tomorrow.
Si Nan clicked his tongue and patted his face to cheer himself up.
There was half a bowl of noodles left at noon, which was already cold, so I simply peeled off a few vegetable leaves, washed them and threw them into the pot, planning to fry the noodles.
Halfway through the frying, I realized that the salt in the small pot was used up.
Si Nan called subconsciously: "Er Zai, scoop up a jar of salt for brother!"
After shouting again and getting no response, he realized that Erlang had gone to the academy.
groove!
Why send him to the academy when you have nothing to do?
Is there enough food in the academy?
Will the coach make things difficult for him?
What if there are officials' children bullying him?
Si Nan threw away the spatula, ignored the noodles, and squatted by the stove sulking.
I don't know where this gas came from.I just feel empty, wishing I could ride a small three-wheeled wheel and bring Erlang back the next moment.
The door knocker rang "ding, ding, ding" three times.
Sinan froze his head quickly.
It's him, it's him and it's him!
Wearing a red suit and carrying a big longbow, he looks like a god descending from the earth!
Si Nan rushed over with his arms outstretched, barely stopped when he was a foot away from Tang Xuan, and gave him a fake hug.
"Xiao Xuanxuan, you must have owed me a lot of money in your previous life."
Tang Xuan:? ? ?
Si Nan bent his eyes and smiled brightly, "Otherwise, why did you come when I called you?"
Tang Xuan raised his eyes slightly, and his voice was full of joy, "Did you summon me?"
Simon: "It's just a metaphor."
Tang Xuan's eyelashes drooped half a centimeter, and his voice lowered, "You didn't call me."
Simon: ...
"I've called you, I need you very much right now."
Tang Xuan hooked his lips, "How much do you need?"
Sinan smirked, "I need you to help me get rid of this pot of glutinous noodles without salt."
"……it is good."
Although it was fried, and even though no salt was added, the two of them tasted very delicious when you took a bite and I took a bite.
"Let me tell you, this is definitely the biggest failure of my career, and I will never have another chance in the future." Sinan picked out the part that was too vague and threw it away.
Tang Xuan chewed slowly, "I think it's pretty good."
In order to appear sincere, he added: "It has the fragrance of shredded bamboo shoots, and the softness of green vegetables...the soup cakes are very chewy."
Si Nan gritted his white teeth and smiled, "Xiao Xuanxuan, you are definitely wearing a filter. Admit it, did you like me to praise me? It must be hard to think of these words? Thinking of me being happy Looks like it’s all worth it again, doesn’t it?”
Tang Xuan's eyelashes raised, and then slightly sunken at the corners of his eyes, which meant that he had a deep smile.
Sinan continued his performance, "Look, look, are you ashamed of being poked at the center by me? Come on, confess your love, your brother Nan is ready, young man, please speak loudly of your love!"
Tang Xuan chuckled and looked up at him.
He looked at Sinan, and Sinan looked at him.
The two looked at each other and didn't speak for a while.
The small in his pupils is reckless, showing his teeth and claws; the small in his pupils is focused, with affectionate eyes.
The world suddenly became quiet.
"Squeak-"
The crisp cry broke the inexplicable ambiguity in the air.
Si Nan turned his head and saw a small black head.
Hey, it's still a little weasel!
The little black weasel followed the piece of battered noodles he left behind, and squeaked at him twice, probably to... say thank you?
Simon was surprised: "The ferret eats cooked food?"
Tang Xuan hesitated: "Maybe this one is special."
"Why does it sound like a squirrel?"
"It's just special."
The special little black weasel came out again and gave Sinan a "big gift" - a dead mouse.
Simon: ...
The little black stoat didn't notice his disgust at all, but proudly pushed the "gift" to his feet, as if to say: "Eat, eat, you said let people catch mice."
Sinan was overwhelmed by his brain.
Even more amazing is yet to come——
After the little ferret handed the mouse to him, he jumped onto the shelf familiarly, lifted the lid of the bamboo basket, leaned in with his fluffy body, and took out a round egg.
Dare to love is not a gift at all, but a mouse for an egg?
Before the little ferret left, he helped him close the lid.
Exactly the same as the original!
It's like never moving!
So how many eggs did the thief steal from him? !
Si Nan touched a fire stick, thinking whether to beat the egg thief.
The little ferret poked its head out from the woodpile and looked at him with its small head tilted. It has black eyes, round ears, and snow-white down is soft and smooth, so cute and cute.
Simon: ...
"It's useless to be cute, do you know that your husband has committed the crime of stealing?"
"squeak--"
"Knowing that you are still with him, do you keep this kind of scumbag for the New Year regardless?"
"Squeaky-"
The ferret successfully picked up the little black weasel, and the young couple yelled at Sinan twice before crawling back to the firewood pile.After entering, he stretched out a small black claw, poked the firewood at the entrance of the cave, and filled the gap.
Simon:? ? ?
Dare to feel that they haven't left at all these days?
Righteousness has made its home here!
Tang Xuan persuaded with a smile: "Eat, the face is cold."
Si Nan gulped down angrily.
Tang Xuan poured a cup of tea and brought it to him.
Si Nan folded his arms, drinking and staring at the pile of firewood maliciously.
Tang Xuan couldn't help laughing, his bulging cheeks really looked like that little ferret who could only act coquettishly.
Si Nan looked at him suspiciously, "What are you laughing at?"
Tang Xuan changed the subject: "It's better to keep it as a companion."
Si Nan curled his lips, "Let them be company, I might as well move to the Prince's Mansion."
Tang Xuan raised his eyebrows, "When will you move?"
Simon: "I'm just joking."
Tang Xuan: "How is it tonight? I'll ask someone to come and clean it up."
"Don't make trouble, Brother Nan has a family and a younger brother, how can he be raised by you casually?"
"It's okay if you don't just do it casually?"
Simon: ...
I lost!
The bronze decree of Xiaojun Wang has finally been sent out!
Everyone was pleasantly surprised and excited, and rushed to tell each other.
Immediately afterwards, another piece of news came——
The king of Xiaojun gave a bronze token that symbolizes the identity of the princess to a young gentleman...
Everyone is bad.
The gardener broke a tree branch, the cook pierced the iron pot, a caregiver almost pinched the doorman's wrist when he was distracted, and the old housekeeper almost passed out clutching his heart.
The group supported the trembling old butler, and secretly touched the lake.
Tang Xuanzheng took Sinan to visit the county palace.
Simon's mood was a little complicated.
The county palace is so big!
There are six small three-story buildings alone, and there are also bell towers, drum towers, martial arts arenas, and armories. In the stables, red, white, and black Hetao horses, Yili horses, and bloody horses are lined up in two rows. In modern times, it is the Lambo, Martha, and Rolls-Royce with two garages!
The county prince's mansion... How should I put it, it's so "straight".
Looking around, there is not even a flower, not even a grass, just a few trees, or straight young poplars, a huge lake, no Jiuqu bridge, no octagonal pavilion, reeds, lotus, water hyacinth... nothing at all.
From the housekeeper to the doorman, to the cooks in the backyard, and those who wash clothes are all tall men, maybe even the frogs at the bottom of the lake are male.
The person who owns such a county palace is not a straight man, but better than a straight man.
Si Nan stood by the lake and heaved a long sigh.
Sad, frustrated, hopeless in love.
"Don't like it?" Tang Xuan tilted his head.
"No, it's pretty good." Sinan said politely.
Tang Xuan raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
The two walked a small half circle around the lake.
Si Nan had nothing to say, and asked him what he was up to recently, completely forgetting that the two met yesterday.
Tang Xuan replied seriously: "I caught Hua Gui's confidant."
Si Nan asked, "Is that the one named Xiao Yuan?"
Tang Xuan nodded.
"Have you hired?"
"It has been handed over to Kaifeng Mansion, and Bao Mansion Yin is interrogating."
Sinan immediately felt relieved, "Leave the matter to Mr. Bao, it's all right."
Tang Xuan paused, "You trust Mr. Baofu very much?"
"Don't you think he is very reliable? There are so many officials throughout the ages, and there are quite a few capable officials, but how many of them really serve the people and are not corrupt?"
In ancient times, it was too difficult to be an upright official, and the price of being greedy for money and profit was too small. There were always various factors that prompted people to change their temperament.Bao Zheng is one of the rare people who is not greedy for money, not seeking fame and fortune, but who can make drastic changes in office and manage government affairs beautifully.
Si Nan said: "I heard that Mr. Bao passed the Jinshi examination at the age of 29. He could have entered Dali Temple, but because of his elderly parents, he didn't become an official. He didn't become the county magistrate until he was 39."
Tang Xuan nodded: "Bao Fu Yin has been an official for [-] years, so far he has no land or houses in the central capital, and he just lives in the back office of Kaifeng Mansion with his family."
"It's really admirable!" Sinan sighed shaking his head.
Tang Xuan hooked his lips, and brought the topic back without a trace: "I, under the shade of my ancestors, got this house, but I often live in the palace and neglect to take care of it. Do you think it is a bit empty?"
"It's not just 'a little empty', it's too empty!" Sinan was still immersed in Mr. Bao's noble character, and told the truth without paying attention.
It was only after he finished speaking that he realized, "You lied to me?"
Tang Xuan raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"You, you, you... are simply too bad." Sinan was good at poking him.
So you are such Yan Junwang!
Don't think I'll forgive you if you smile nicely!
Tang Xuan supported him to prevent him from falling into the lake.
Sinan jumped up and down to fight with him.
For a moment, the quiet lakeside became very lively, and Sinan's voice alone overwhelmed the entire palace.
Behind the big tree, the old butler almost passed out again.
Happy this time.
He didn't expect to see the little master smile in his lifetime. If he hadn't seen him happily squinting his eyes, raising his eyebrows, and curling the corners of his mouth with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that all of this was true.
——Since the general and the princess left, the little master seemed to have lost all expression other than his blank face, which broke the heart of these old guys.
Tang Xuan softened his tone, as if coaxing people: "Brother Thirteen and Sister Taotao will return to the palace after the Dragon Boat Festival. I plan to tidy up the yard and come back to live. Do you have any suggestions?"
"No, right now...it's fine." Sinan struggled for a while, but still felt that it would be better not to interfere with others.
Tang Xuan hooked his lips, "Let's talk about it then."
Simon:? ? ?
I said no!
"I want to hear your thoughts." Tang Xuan tilted his head and looked at him with a smile.
Sinan was instantly fascinated by the beauty, his little heart was pounding, but he still said calmly: "My thoughts are not important, and I can't help it."
"You can come and live anytime you want."
Simon:! ! !
Boy, do you know that you are responsible for seductive people?
"For example, in this lake, can we plant some green lotus?" Tang Xuan asked.
"We should really plant some. It's so big and empty. At first glance, I thought it was fake." Sinan was drawn into it unknowingly.
"Even if you don't grow lotus, you can grow some water chestnuts and water chestnuts. After they are cooked, throw them into the pot, eat them boiled, fried, fried with green bamboo shoots, stewed with ribs, whatever you want eat……"
Tang Xuan smiled: "Is there any more?"
"There is still a yard, there are no flowers or grass, and there will be a hostess in the future, how can you watch the snow, flowers, and moon with others, from poetry to poetry to philosophy of life?"
hostess?
Gao Taotao's face flashed in front of Tang Xuan's eyes, and he quickly shook his head.
too frightening.
J.
The cook and the gardener are having a passionate discussion.
"I said I won't let you pull out the clump of reeds, and don't pull out the lotus root either. Let's see, the guests hate it."
"I can't rely on me for this matter. The third child said that reeds and lotus leaves are the best places to hide people. It's safe to pull them out."
The cook stared: "This is Bianjing, not Northwest."
The gardener didn't show any weakness: "If you don't agree, say it earlier. It's been more than ten years, and it's only now."
The cook was confident: "Didn't Mr. Xiao Lang remind me of this!"
The gardener rolled his eyes: "I dare say you don't have much taste, you still have the face to criticize me."
"Quiet." The nurse said coldly.
The cook and the gardener immediately fell silent.
The third child lost his temper and shut up to save his life.
The nurse glanced at the two of them, "Why did you and I come here?"
"Investigate the relationship between the prince and Mr. Xiao Lang." The cook and the gardener answered obediently.
The nursing home retracted its gaze and looked at the two by the lake again.
The cook and the gardener threw a few knives silently, neither of them convinced the other.
At this time, Sinan just said: "As a friend, I can't actually give you any advice. It's better to let the person who may live in in the future decide."
——When he said this, even he himself felt sour.
The people behind the big tree were excited.
Did you hear that?
Mr. Xiao Lang said "as friends", so he and the prince are just friends, and there is no ulterior relationship!
The old butler nodded in relief: that's a relief.
It's just a friend who can casually send out the princess token, what's so important?
However, a new problem has arisen.
What's the background of this little gentleman?
Why was he chosen by the prince to be his friend?
A few black shadows rushed out of the palace, and found all of Sinan's information within minutes.
Everyone was stunned: The son of a merchant?A hot pot seller on the side of Zhouqiao?
This status... is it a little lower?
Several people looked at Sinan in unison.
Si Nan was sitting cross-legged on the lake embankment, beside a poplar tree, a few leaves had fallen to the ground.I saw him picking left and right, and finally chose the two biggest ones, and Tang Xuan and Tang Xuan had a decisive battle...
"You're broken! You lost! Give me money!" Sinan laughed.
The too bright smiling face not only provoked Tang Xuan to hand over a copper coin willingly, but also relieved the few people who were secretly observing.
"Actually... the son of a merchant, it's all right, right?"
"Think about us back then, we were just big soldiers with no money and no land, did the general despise you and me?"
"Back then, the princess was at the border, going in and out with the women in the army, and she had no airs at all."
"What is this called Ping?"
"Approachable."
"That's right, the prince must have followed the general and the princess."
The old housekeeper burst into tears.
The little master had never played with leaf stalks when he was a child, he would only hold the arrow and shoot the target over and over again, and said coldly that he wanted to avenge his parents.
Now it is more lively than before.
It's nice to have friends!
In the evening, Tang Xuan left Sinan for dinner at the palace, using the new dining table that Sinan just brought.
——If you follow Tang Xuan, you will definitely treasure it quietly and be reluctant to use it.It's just that before he asked someone to move away, the nursing home brought it over and put it on.
Watching the vats being placed on the table, her pretty lips were pursed into a straight line.However, the elders were all focused on Sinan, and no one cared about him.
The old housekeeper smiled and introduced everyone to Sinan, and Sinan called out his sweet uncle.
The hardened hearts of the men softened.
The cook rubbed his hands and pointed to the big wooden barrel on the table, "Let's go and eat, if you don't have enough, then do it again."
There are four big barrels in total.
One bucket is full of white rice, one bucket is filled with baked white buns, and the other two buckets are filled with sauce-flavored big bones and stewed mutton.
Typical Northwest Army style.
"The master said that there might be guests today, so let us prepare it early in the morning. The pigs and sheep are all freshly killed. The fire should be boiled alternately for two hours. At this time, the taste should be... Xiao Lang, you try it taste?"
If it were an ordinary person, it would probably be scary.
Si Nan bent his eyes and looked at Tang Xuan with a smile, "You know I'm coming?"
Tang Xuan turned his face away and hummed.
Yesterday Sinan said that he would send him a table, so he thought, what if it is today?So I hurried back early in the morning and waited.
Si Nan grinned, "What if I don't come?"
"Then tomorrow." If tomorrow doesn't come, there will be the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow... one day it will come.
If he still doesn't come, he will "remind" him.
Si Nan's heart was a little soft, but also a little sweet. Just now, he felt that the two of them were out of action, but at this moment, a cluster of small flames ignited again.
Probably, maybe, is there such a possibility?
dinner's ready.
Tang Xuan looked at the rough vats, big bones, and large pieces of meat on the table, and then thought about the exquisite small balls, small wontons, and small shrimp dumplings that Si Nan made for him. For the first time, he wondered whether the eating habits at home should be changed. changed.
Slightly... embarrassing.
Unexpectedly, Sinan picked up a big bone very boldly, and gnawed it with his small teeth, but he was very happy.
The butler smiled, "My lord said that Mr. Xiao Lang grew up in Bianjing and had never been to the Northwest. I was afraid that you might not be used to this dry bun, so I steamed a bucket of rice..."
"No, no, I really like mutton steamed buns."
Si Nan immediately grabbed one from the bucket, tore it and put it into a stoneware bowl, then scooped up a spoonful of hot soup on it with a long spoon, squinted his eyes and sniffed it, and immediately laughed, "It's delicious!"
It doesn't look like a fake.
The butler smiled more sincerely.
Tang Xuan smirked, and picked two pieces of good meat for him and put them in the bowl.
Sinan ate until his mouth became oily and rosy.
The delicate little face and the wild eating appearance don't really go well together, but in the eyes of everyone in the palace, they just think it's really cute and cute, and they look like their own family.
What's better than having guests enjoy their meals?
The butler smiled and said with emotion: "No wonder I can be friends with the prince, he is a very good young gentleman!"
Everyone nodded.
The old brothers were rarely happy, carrying wine jars and big sauce bones, sitting on the table in disorder, eating and chatting.
Chatting chatter chatter to the future princess.
Is it as gentle and virtuous as a princess, or as sharp and sharp as the little lady of the Gao family?
It would be great if I could be as likable as Mr. Si Xiaolang!
by the lake.
Si Nan said while eating: "These people in your family are really nice."
"They...are elders."
Tang Xuan paused, and told Sinan his life experience.
His mother is a daughter of the Zhao family, the Taizu's branch, who was named a princess because of her marriage.Unexpectedly, as soon as Xia Ren left the country, he suddenly broke the contract and wanted to threaten Da Song with the princess.
Tang Xuan's father was the guard of the border city at that time, and rescued the princess by himself, turning the situation around.Later, the two fell in love with each other and asked the official family to marry them.
The princess did not return to Beijing, but was willing to accompany General Tang to station in the border town.Although life is poor, the two have actually lived in love for several years.
In the second year of Baoyuan, the Song-Xia War broke out.
General Tang died in battle.
The princess was deceived by the spy and was taken captive to the summer camp.
The two armies confronted each other, and the enemy shamelessly threatened the Song army with the life of the princess.
In front of tens of thousands of soldiers, the princess only said softly, "I hope the officials will take care of my son", and died generously.
In that battle, Song Jun was red-eyed.
That year, Tang Xuan was less than two years old.
After the war ended, the orphan who lost his parents was sent back to the ancestral house in Bianjing by the Tang family, and the official family brought him into the palace and raised him personally.
The cooks, gardeners, courtyard guards in the mansion, and those who did not show up in the dark were all generals under General Tang's command back then. They had the opportunity to rise to the top with their military exploits, but they gave up for Tang Xuan.
The old butler has stayed in this house for decades, serving three generations of the Tang family, and he is like an elder.
……
Si Nan usually has such good eloquence, but this time he was hoarse.
Any words of comfort seemed so pale.
He was silent for a long time, and he took a piece of meat for Tang Xuan, his movements were very careful, and his tone was very gentle, "You... eat more."
Tang Xuan smiled, "Okay."
All sadness is gone.
Only the breeze by the lake and the smell of meat in the bucket remain.
After dinner, it was still light.
Si Nan was thinking about Erlang, and originally wanted to go home, but Tang Xuan coaxed him into the study for some reason, and was fascinated by the swords and swords in the study for some reason.
Tang Xuan's study is also very "straight". There are no incense, hanging paintings, carved screens, blue and white porcelain, and not even many books. There are only simple or sharp weapons.
Next to each weapon is an "instruction manual", which describes the origin, material, characteristics, and experience of using the weapon in detail.The handwriting is strong and strong, and the words are concise and clear, as if written by Tang Xuan himself.
Si Nan suddenly felt that this seemingly cold Lord County King actually had a warm man in his heart.He only focuses on what he cares about, and is only gentle to those who care about him.
Suddenly a little envious.
It is really a blessing to be able to be loved by him.
Si Nan turned his head and saw Tang Xuan yawned.
Not to mention, it's quite rare.
Tang Xuan gave people the impression that he was a heavenly soldier and general who did not eat grains, and would never yawn or fart like ordinary people.
"Sleepy?" Si Nan asked.
"No." Tang Xuan quickly denied.
Sinan couldn't help laughing, how could he look like a guilty child.
Just when the housekeeper came in to deliver tea, he gave Tang Xuan a reproachful look, "Can you not be sleepy? I went out to a banquet yesterday, and went to clear the bandits at night, and today I didn't close my eyes because I was waiting for Mr. Xiaolang... Sigh!"
Si Nan was startled, it's been two days and one night!
Are there still few cases of sudden death when staying up late?
In an instant, Sinan's boyfriend was overwhelmed, and he pushed Tang Xuan on the low couch, "Hurry up and sleep, sleep now, I will watch you."
Tang Xuan was slightly surprised: "Aren't you leaving?"
Si Nan stared, "You want to drive me away?"
Tang Xuan chuckled, "Aren't you going to chase you away?"
"If the answer is correct, add [-] points."
Sinan poked his eyelids, "Quick, close your eyes."
Tang Xuan closed obediently.
The butler nodded in satisfaction, and quietly retreated out.
The door was gently closed, and only Tang Xuan and Si Nan were left in the study.
Tang Xuan tilted his head and confirmed again and again: "Are you really going?"
Si Nan just propped his arms on the side of the couch, and said with a smirk: "Can't bear to miss me?"
The young man propped his chin, his skin was fair, his cheeks were slightly bulging, and his bright black eyes were watery.
Tang Xuan nodded honestly, really reluctant.
On the contrary, Si Nan felt embarrassed, "Close your eyes."
Tang Xuan pursed his lips and closed his eyes.
Si Nan patted his flushed face and looked at him blatantly.
So handsome!
Jianmei Xingmu is talking about this kind of person, right?
The shape of the nose is also so perfect, it seems that if there is more or less, the taste will be lost.
The sexy Adam's apple is indispensable.
There is also a very shallow layer of stubble... For such a perfect man, even the lush stubble is sexier than others.
Si Nan was concentrating on watching, when those eyes like stars and moons suddenly opened.
Si Nan felt guilty, "Why, why aren't you asleep?"
Tang Xuan lowered his brows and eyes slightly, helplessly and spoiled.
If you don't open your eyes, something big will happen.
The young man was so close to him, his soft breath was like a small feather, gently sweeping over the sensitive areas, he resisted so much that he didn't let himself be rude.
Tang Xuan raised his hand and pressed it on top of his head, "You sleep for a while too."
Simon focused on that hand.
The slender fingers, warm and strong, immediately covered his head.It was the breath of a man that fascinated him.
Simon's face burned a little.
"What did you eat to grow up, your hands are so long?" In order to hide his embarrassment, he pulled the hand off carelessly, and looked at the fingers one by one.
A very "manly" hand with slightly dark skin, with tiny scars and thin calluses, which were worn out by bowing and archery all year round.
Si Nan glanced at his little finger, and immediately lost.
Tang Xuan also saw it, and couldn't help finding his white and delicate fingertips, and squeezed them.
Si Nan stared, "Why? Dare to take advantage of your Brother Nan!"
"This is called taking advantage?" Tang Xuan smiled lightly, and squeezed again.
How can you lose at this time!
Si Nan squeezed it back without showing any weakness.
Two people, you pinch me, and I pinch you, childishly competing.
To be exact, only Sinan was competing.
Tang Xuan was like a lazy leopard, fondly teasing his little hairball.
I don't know how long it took for Sinan to react, and to save face, he ordered: "Stop playing, go to sleep."
Tang Xuan closed his eyes, with a smile on his brows and mouth.
Simon also laughed.
It's kind of funny to be childish once in a while.
Si Nan withdrew his hand.
Tang Xuan's fingertips moved uncomfortably.
After touching the warmth, I am not used to returning to the lonely look again.
After a while, Tang Xuan's breathing became even.
Sinan asked in a breathy tone, "Are you asleep?"
"Fell asleep."
Simon: ...
Si Nan ignored him and took the local chronicles to pass the time.Even with the memory of the original body, I am still not used to the vertical version of classical Chinese.
When I read the first page, my eyes were a little dazed, but I barely turned to the second page, my long eyelashes drooped, and I fell asleep completely after turning to the third page.
Tang Xuan opened his eyes and turned his head to look at him.
He has never put anyone else in his eyes, so there is no way to compare.Looking at the boy's eyebrows and eyes now, I feel that nothing is not cute, even the sound of his light breathing is pleasant.
Seeing him drooping his brows and eyes, he fell asleep peacefully, as if his fatigue had disappeared.
It turned out that there was someone next to my pillow, so I felt at ease.
------
Sinan didn't want to know how he got back to Chatang Lane at all.
It was already the second day when he opened his eyes. Erlang was staring at him with his arms folded, and the first thing he said was: "Are you drunk, or is your head broken? Awake?"
No, neither.
He just slept too deeply and trusted Tang Xuan too much.
I don't know how Tang Xuan carried him into the carriage, and how he carried him off...
What a shame!
Brother Nan lost all face.
Fortunately, everyone was busy these two days, Tang Xuan wanted to investigate Wuyou Cave, and Si Nan was also busy transferring Erlang's school, so there was no chance to mention embarrassing things.
Treat it as a dream, and lose your memory when you wake up!
……
On April [-], the sun is shining brightly.
The lotus flowers on both sides of the Royal Street bloomed tenderly all over the canal, and the young ladies stood by the canal, smiling lightly, discussing which lotus flower is the most beautiful.
The gentlemen stood on the porch, watching from a distance, and wondering which lady was the most lovely.
Fields of lotus leaves, colorful clothes and sleeves.
Good things always make people feel bright.
Si Nan rode a small tricycle and galloped past Yujie.
Now there is no one on this street who doesn't know him, just like Tang Xuan when mentioning Xuan Tie Gong, when seeing the three-wheeled speeding car, everyone in Bianjing knows that it is Mr. Si Lang by the state bridge.
Today, there is a young man with a tiger head and a tiger brain in the car bucket.
A regular customer greeted from a distance: "Aren't you going out of the stall today?"
"Not going out, take my brother to the academy." Sinan replied with a smile.
"Which academy?"
"Ruoshui."
“Great place!”
"Yes, I hope he will be successful in the future."
Sinan smiled and rode away.
Everyone who knew the details of the Si family praised him.
When the Si family had accidents one after another, everyone thought that the two brothers' life would be difficult sooner or later.Unexpectedly, the young man who was not as weak as the crown actually made his life more and more prosperous.
Ruoshui Academy is located in the southeast of Bianjing City, just walk out of the Xinsong Gate and walk two miles south.
Because it is outside the city, the land price is cheap, so it was built very large. There are two gates on the north and south sides. The archway with blue bricks and red tiles has five pillars and two entrances, which is very grand.
It is said that the couplets on both sides of the south gate were inscribed by Mr. Fan Zhongyan, and the couplets on the north side were written by Mr. Yan Shu.
The south gate faces Yichun Garden, the north gate is not far from Xinsong Gate, and there is a special chariot gate on the east side, which is very convenient to enter and exit.
There are school buildings, dormitories, library pavilions, and a huge racecourse in the academy.
Because the environment is good and the husband is also knowledgeable, there are not only children from ordinary families who come to study, but also many children from official families. Most of them hope to study in ten or eight years and get a Jinshi background.There are really not many people like the brothers of the Si family rushing to learn martial arts.
"It's beautiful inside. It's built like a garden in the south of the Yangtze River, especially the racetrack. You must like it." Sinan rode a small tricycle and went straight to the east gate. "There are more than 20 small Yunnan horses in the stable. Horses are specially used to teach you little beans."
Erlang was so excited when he heard "Racing Racecourse" that he didn't care that he called himself Xiaodouding.
The gatekeeper is thick and strong, and he looks like a Lianjiazi at first glance.
Si Nan greeted him kindly, and handed over Erlang's enrollment nameplate.
He was good-looking and smiling, and the gatekeeper couldn't help being more enthusiastic, and called a clever boy to lead them the way.
The boy walked in front, and Si Nan rode a tricycle and pulled Erlang and his luggage to follow behind.
The boy couldn't hold back, and quietly looked back.
Si Nan smiled and said, "Brother, you might as well sit up, I'll carry you."
"No, no, no." The boy waved his hands repeatedly.
There are strict rules in the academy, and there are clear barriers between students and servants. He dare not break the rules.
Si Nan simply stopped the car and walked with him holding the handle.In this way, the young man moved back a little, just enough to see the little three rounds clearly, so he wouldn't be rude.
Erlang also jumped out of the car and walked beside Si Nan.
This young man is smart, knowing that the two brothers are taking care of him, he couldn't help but be moved, "The young one's name is Tao Ran, and he just transferred to the elementary school to serve in this ten days. If you need it, you can call the young one around."
Erlang held the handle in a dignified manner, "Student Si Jia, I will trouble Brother Tao Ran from now on."
Tao Ran hurriedly bowed, "Don't dare."
Tao Ran introduced the situation of the academy along the way, such as what to pay attention to in the morning class, how to match the three meals, and the taboos that need to be avoided in group life, all of which are easy pitfalls for newcomers, very practical.
Erlang has a meticulous mind at a young age, he doesn't talk much, but he is transparent, and every time he catches up with a sentence or two, he can always catch people's attention.
Tao Ran couldn't help being awed, and vaguely felt that although this young gentleman came from an ordinary background, given time, he would definitely not be something in the pool.
When he arrived at the dormitory, Erlang felt like a duck to water.
There is a room full of little Douding, the eldest is six or seven years old, and the youngest is only four years old. Although Erlang is not the oldest, he is strong and strong, with a quack air, and with a few words, he scares the group of white and tender young scholars .
It's not enough to just play tricks, the second trick is food strategy.
Before coming here, Sinan spent most of the day making him a large pack of snacks, including millet crispy rice, sesame noodles, beef jerky, preserved apricots...there are all kinds of biscuits and other flavors.
Erlang poured out his brains and let the students choose.
The young gentlemen were a little shy at first, and were embarrassed to accept it.Erlang grabbed a handful of crispy rice and chewed it deliciously.
The little ones swallowed their saliva, who was the first to stretch out their little hands, and then all of them ate happily.
Finally, there is an ultimate big move - own small three rounds.
Due to military considerations, the officials have not released the blueprint of the tricycle, and the folks would not dare to imitate it even if they could, so no one except the officials and Sinan have this thing.
Erlang bribed Sinan with a sweet brother, asking him to take his roommates around the open space.
The young gentlemen immediately opened their hearts, and they almost hugged Erlang's leg to recognize the elder brother.
Si Nan watched his cub's operations, and suddenly felt a little sad. This kid usually spends too little time on him!
After agreeing with Erlang to come and see him in two days, Sinan left without hesitation.
In fact, most young men under the age of ten do not stay in the dormitory. They just rest in the dormitory at noon and will be picked up by their parents in the evening.Si Nan originally wanted to do the same, but Erlang refused.
First, he wanted to get up in the morning to practice martial arts to save time on the road.Secondly, during school hours, Sinan happened to be going to the morning market to buy vegetables, and after school, the snack trucks were the busiest, so he didn't want Sinan to work too hard.
The little guy thinks so maturely, what else can Sinan say?
When I got home, it was already evening.
Si Nan stood at the door and looked around, feeling empty.It's just that there is one person missing, why is it a little too quiet?
He sat on the threshold, suddenly a little dazed.
Usually, at this time, he would either be setting up a stall in Zhouqiao, or bickering with Erlang at home.
The two brothers bickered over a wide range of topics, whether duck intestines are delicious or goose intestines, whether the clothes should be mended after washing, why two copper coins are missing, chopsticks are held upside down... you can talk about any trivial matter .
Si Nan was really not used to being left alone in the cold.
I don't know how long he sat there in a daze, until the smoke rose from the roofs of the neighbors, Sinan stamped his numb feet, and slowly moved to the thatched shed.
Cook something to eat, you have to get used to eating alone.
Since the stinky boy is not here, why don't you cook something delicious, tell him when you meet tomorrow, and be greedy for him.
wrong……
I won't be able to see him tomorrow, but I made an agreement to see him again the day after tomorrow.
Si Nan clicked his tongue and patted his face to cheer himself up.
There was half a bowl of noodles left at noon, which was already cold, so I simply peeled off a few vegetable leaves, washed them and threw them into the pot, planning to fry the noodles.
Halfway through the frying, I realized that the salt in the small pot was used up.
Si Nan called subconsciously: "Er Zai, scoop up a jar of salt for brother!"
After shouting again and getting no response, he realized that Erlang had gone to the academy.
groove!
Why send him to the academy when you have nothing to do?
Is there enough food in the academy?
Will the coach make things difficult for him?
What if there are officials' children bullying him?
Si Nan threw away the spatula, ignored the noodles, and squatted by the stove sulking.
I don't know where this gas came from.I just feel empty, wishing I could ride a small three-wheeled wheel and bring Erlang back the next moment.
The door knocker rang "ding, ding, ding" three times.
Sinan froze his head quickly.
It's him, it's him and it's him!
Wearing a red suit and carrying a big longbow, he looks like a god descending from the earth!
Si Nan rushed over with his arms outstretched, barely stopped when he was a foot away from Tang Xuan, and gave him a fake hug.
"Xiao Xuanxuan, you must have owed me a lot of money in your previous life."
Tang Xuan:? ? ?
Si Nan bent his eyes and smiled brightly, "Otherwise, why did you come when I called you?"
Tang Xuan raised his eyes slightly, and his voice was full of joy, "Did you summon me?"
Simon: "It's just a metaphor."
Tang Xuan's eyelashes drooped half a centimeter, and his voice lowered, "You didn't call me."
Simon: ...
"I've called you, I need you very much right now."
Tang Xuan hooked his lips, "How much do you need?"
Sinan smirked, "I need you to help me get rid of this pot of glutinous noodles without salt."
"……it is good."
Although it was fried, and even though no salt was added, the two of them tasted very delicious when you took a bite and I took a bite.
"Let me tell you, this is definitely the biggest failure of my career, and I will never have another chance in the future." Sinan picked out the part that was too vague and threw it away.
Tang Xuan chewed slowly, "I think it's pretty good."
In order to appear sincere, he added: "It has the fragrance of shredded bamboo shoots, and the softness of green vegetables...the soup cakes are very chewy."
Si Nan gritted his white teeth and smiled, "Xiao Xuanxuan, you are definitely wearing a filter. Admit it, did you like me to praise me? It must be hard to think of these words? Thinking of me being happy Looks like it’s all worth it again, doesn’t it?”
Tang Xuan's eyelashes raised, and then slightly sunken at the corners of his eyes, which meant that he had a deep smile.
Sinan continued his performance, "Look, look, are you ashamed of being poked at the center by me? Come on, confess your love, your brother Nan is ready, young man, please speak loudly of your love!"
Tang Xuan chuckled and looked up at him.
He looked at Sinan, and Sinan looked at him.
The two looked at each other and didn't speak for a while.
The small in his pupils is reckless, showing his teeth and claws; the small in his pupils is focused, with affectionate eyes.
The world suddenly became quiet.
"Squeak-"
The crisp cry broke the inexplicable ambiguity in the air.
Si Nan turned his head and saw a small black head.
Hey, it's still a little weasel!
The little black weasel followed the piece of battered noodles he left behind, and squeaked at him twice, probably to... say thank you?
Simon was surprised: "The ferret eats cooked food?"
Tang Xuan hesitated: "Maybe this one is special."
"Why does it sound like a squirrel?"
"It's just special."
The special little black weasel came out again and gave Sinan a "big gift" - a dead mouse.
Simon: ...
The little black stoat didn't notice his disgust at all, but proudly pushed the "gift" to his feet, as if to say: "Eat, eat, you said let people catch mice."
Sinan was overwhelmed by his brain.
Even more amazing is yet to come——
After the little ferret handed the mouse to him, he jumped onto the shelf familiarly, lifted the lid of the bamboo basket, leaned in with his fluffy body, and took out a round egg.
Dare to love is not a gift at all, but a mouse for an egg?
Before the little ferret left, he helped him close the lid.
Exactly the same as the original!
It's like never moving!
So how many eggs did the thief steal from him? !
Si Nan touched a fire stick, thinking whether to beat the egg thief.
The little ferret poked its head out from the woodpile and looked at him with its small head tilted. It has black eyes, round ears, and snow-white down is soft and smooth, so cute and cute.
Simon: ...
"It's useless to be cute, do you know that your husband has committed the crime of stealing?"
"squeak--"
"Knowing that you are still with him, do you keep this kind of scumbag for the New Year regardless?"
"Squeaky-"
The ferret successfully picked up the little black weasel, and the young couple yelled at Sinan twice before crawling back to the firewood pile.After entering, he stretched out a small black claw, poked the firewood at the entrance of the cave, and filled the gap.
Simon:? ? ?
Dare to feel that they haven't left at all these days?
Righteousness has made its home here!
Tang Xuan persuaded with a smile: "Eat, the face is cold."
Si Nan gulped down angrily.
Tang Xuan poured a cup of tea and brought it to him.
Si Nan folded his arms, drinking and staring at the pile of firewood maliciously.
Tang Xuan couldn't help laughing, his bulging cheeks really looked like that little ferret who could only act coquettishly.
Si Nan looked at him suspiciously, "What are you laughing at?"
Tang Xuan changed the subject: "It's better to keep it as a companion."
Si Nan curled his lips, "Let them be company, I might as well move to the Prince's Mansion."
Tang Xuan raised his eyebrows, "When will you move?"
Simon: "I'm just joking."
Tang Xuan: "How is it tonight? I'll ask someone to come and clean it up."
"Don't make trouble, Brother Nan has a family and a younger brother, how can he be raised by you casually?"
"It's okay if you don't just do it casually?"
Simon: ...
I lost!
