One of the passers-by

Not to mention how the Duke of Wei and Princess Pingyang in the camp greeted their relatives and asked for warmth, and they were separated from Xue Yan.It is only said that at the evening celebration banquet, Xue Yan asked the soldiers of Huotouying to bring the freshly brewed spirits to two large altars and send them to everyone for a celebration banquet.The rest were handed over to Sun Zhonghe, the imperial physician, so that he and the doctor accompanying the army could change the medical cloths and wipe the wounds of the injured soldiers to avoid infection.

Yan Junji and other Youzhou generals had long known from Xue Yan that this wine was very strong, but now they smelled the aroma of the wine, and its sweetness and mellowness were like heaven and earth compared to ordinary wine. All the gluttonous worms in the abdomen were drawn out.

Jiang Han swallowed his saliva again and again at the two big wine jars, and said in a rough voice: "Xue Xiaoniang——"

Before he could finish a sentence, Duke Lu slapped him on the back of the head and automatically silenced the sound.He changed his words obediently and said, "Mr. Xue Xiaolang is full of praise for this liquor. When I saw it today, I really compare it to other liquors."

Lu Guogong Jiang Zhi took advantage of everyone's inattention and poured a full cup to drink.In an instant, I felt a raging fire spreading from my mouth to my lungs, and the early winter chill lingering around my body was immediately dispelled.The mellow aroma of spirits permeates the five interiors.

Lu Guogong Jiang Zhi couldn't help clapping the table and applauding. He poured another bowl of wine for himself and drank more than half of it. He exhaled contentedly and laughed loudly: "Good wine, good wine, very strong wine. It’s just called drinking, after drinking such a bowl of wine, I, Lao Jiang, don’t want to drink any other wine in the future. I don’t even want to drink your majesty’s nectar and jade dew.”

All the generals at the banquet smiled when they heard the words.Zhen Guogong Wei Wuji knew that he was too strong to drink, imitating the appearance of Xue Yan and Princess Pingyang, holding a wine bowl and drinking in small sips to drive away the cold, he also felt the lingering fragrance in his mouth, and couldn't help but praise: "It really is a strong wine. I'm afraid that those who are weaker to drink will get drunk after drinking two bowls."

Yan Junji heard the words.He waved his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Xue Xiaolang does not brew spirits to satisfy his appetite."

After speaking, there were many injuries and injuries to the soldiers in the battalion after the general victory. Xue Yan couldn't bear to see the soldiers suffer, so he made it clear that he offered field rescue methods, distilled wine and the formula of Yunnan Baiyao.At the end, he sighed and said: "Mr. Xue Xiaolang doesn't think about small profits but cares about the world. He really has a true temperament, and my generation is not as good as it is."

Xue Yan has been in the Youzhou camp for more than half a year. He has a pure heart and seldom argues with others.Although some people secretly disapproved of Xue Yan's actions, it is always easier for this kind of person who cares about the world and is kind to others to win the closeness and respect of others.This can be seen from the various measures taken by more and more soldiers to obey their words and respond to them.

Wei Guogong and Princess Pingyang are parents, and when they looked at Xue Yan, they felt that "my son is good no matter what".It is even more honorable to hear that Yan Junji has such a high reputation.At the banquet, everyone followed suit, and even praised Xue Yan so much that even Xue Yan felt his ears burn when he heard his beautiful words.

Jiang Zhi, Duke of Lu State, not only took a sip of wine and praised him, but in the end he still felt that he was not satisfied. He even patted Duke Wei on the shoulder and said, "I think this kid is very compatible. If Duke Wei does not give up, Jiang wants to take Xue Xiaolang in." You are the righteous son. I, Jiang Zhi, have five sons in total, all of whom are as rude and stupid as me, and not as clever and clever as Mr. Xue Xiaolang. Princess Pingyang is worthy of being a hero among women, and she is better at giving birth to a son than others."

Duke Wei and Princess Pingyang heard what Duke Lu said did not look like each other, so they knew that he was seventy percent drunk and couldn't care less about drunks, so they could only shake their heads and smile wryly.

However, Duke Lu kept pestering him endlessly through his drunken madness. He mentioned that Duke Wei had saved him many times and he had nothing to repay him.For a while, he said that he thought Xue Yan was very hit-and-miss...the Duke and Duchess of Wei had no choice but to nod in agreement in the end.

In front of all the soldiers at the celebration banquet, Duke Lu asked Xue Yan to kowtow to him.From his bosom, he took out a white jade pendant with double chibi-shaped sash rings, which was rewarded by His Majesty, and put it in Xue Yan's hand, euphemistically calling it a token of his righteous son.He also recruited Jiang Han, who was watching the joke, to greet Xue Yan. When Jiang Han walked over, he said "Xue's younger brother" to Xue Yan with a smile, which made Xue Yan have the illusion of "Water Margin chaos".

At the end, Jiang Zhi, the Duke of Lu who was drunk, did not forget to take Xue Yan's sign language and said earnestly: "You are now Jiang Zhi's adoptive son, you must know how to honor your adoptive father... such as the one at today's celebration banquet. For spirits, send ten altars to Duke Lu's mansion after returning to Beijing."

Xue Yan: "..."

The good-for-nothing celebration banquet was turned into a pro-recognition meeting by the Duke of Lu. Yan Junji and other generals watched with smiles, just for fun.In the end, they broke up in a noisy and happy manner, and everyone went back to the camp to settle down. Xue Yan was brought back to the camp by Wei Guogong and Pingyang Princess without any accident, and had a night talk.

Wei Guogong Xue Ji looked at Xue Yan who was becoming more and more silent, and said with a gentle smile: "Is Yan'er feeling tired, or is he a little uncomfortable with the attitude of the generals tonight?"

Xue Yan laughed when he heard the words, because he had both.

The Duke of Wei and Princess Pingyang looked at each other and smiled, and Princess Pingyang said: "Duke Lu is simple in nature, thick on the outside and delicate on the inside, and he has the merits of a dragon, so Jane is in the heart of the emperor. Your father has saved his life. , your temper is right for him, so it doesn't do any harm for him to adopt you as his adoptive son. That Jiang Wulang..."

Princess Pingyang licked the corners of her lips, pondered for a moment before saying: "He is the fifth son of Duke Lu. When he was born, Duke Lu was already a general of the previous dynasty, so Jiang Wulang was no better than him when he was young. The elder brothers above know that the world is difficult, so they have become a little more rebellious."

By analogy, Xu You and Meng Gongliang are all like this.Wei Ziqi, on the other hand, learned martial arts and fought with the Duke of Wei since he was a child, and fought on the battlefield. He has a calm personality and understands what it means to love soldiers like a son and treat others with sincerity.

Xue Yan nodded silently, only thinking that these people really had the temper of some dandy young masters, similar to those second-generation officials and rich second-generations he had seen in his previous life.Always look aloof.

Even if he has a good heart and a good heart, but when dealing with others, he often has to weigh foreign things, and it will give people the feeling that they can only share wealth and wealth but not share adversity, which is really hard for people to communicate with.

When Wei Guogong and Pingyang Princess saw this, they knew that Xue Yan knew it well, and they were relieved, and said to Xue Yan: "As for Yan Junji, he is lenient on the outside and taboo on the inside. He looks smooth but is very arrogant. He likes to speculate. He followed your father to learn the art of war in the early years, but when His Majesty asked about it, he vaguely suspected that your father had hidden secrets... When His Majesty was still King Qing, because the crown prince The dispute with the Taishanghuang, Xiwang, and Qiwang is on the verge of breaking out, and he, together with the old part of Qingwangfu, tried his best to persuade His Majesty to launch the Xuanwumen Change, and now he is also a hero from Conglong."

While speaking, the Duke of Wei's mansion who was guarding outside the tent entered the tent with clean water and some washing things.Under the glow of the candlelight, Xue Yan realized that the servant who came in to serve him was actually a Kunlun slave.

Noticing a flash of surprise in Xue Yan's eyes, the silent and gentle Kunlun slave showed a smile, bowed and said respectfully: "I have seen Mr. Da Lang. It is getting dark, Mr. Da Lang, please wash up."

Xue Yan nodded, subconsciously said "Thank you", the Kunlun slave looked up at Xue Yan, and smiled again.

After the Kunlun Nu went out completely, Princess Pingyang said: "They are your father's personal guards, there are 36 of them in total. They are mellow and loyal to protect the Lord, and they are most trusted by your father."

After a pause, he asked again: "By the way, Yan'er, do you like animals?"

Hearing this, Xue Yan thought of a cat and two huskies he raised in his previous life, and subconsciously nodded.

Seeing this, Princess Pingyang said happily: "That's good. Your father raised two big worms at home. I was afraid you wouldn't like them. I was wondering how to get rid of them."

Wei Guogong quickly added: "Don't be afraid, Yan'er, the tiger in the house is docile and has smooth fur. If you see it, you will like it."

Xue Yan was stunned for a while before realizing that the "big bug" in the mouths of Wei Guogong and Pingyang Princess was "tiger".

****

Early the next morning, Xue Yan woke up leisurely from the smell of strong alcohol in the camp.At that time, Duke Wei had already got up to wash up and went to practice martial arts at the school's martial arts field. Princess Pingyang was sitting on the mat next to the couch, with her head lowered and her face earnestly mending clothes.Seeing Xue Yan wake up, he smiled warmly: "Yan'er woke up, did you sleep well last night?"

Last night, I talked with Wei Guogong and his wife, but Xue Yan didn't sleep much.However, when Princess Pingyang asked about it, Xue Yan still nodded and said with a smile: "I slept soundly, I didn't even have a dream."

Princess Pingyang smiled slightly when she heard the words, and said to Xue Yan: "When your father and I came from Beijing, I brought a lot of clothes, shoes and socks compared to your age, but your stature is bigger than I thought. If you're thinner, these clothes don't fit you well. Auntie will help you change them, and after you change them, they will fit you well."

Xue Yan lay on the couch, looked at Princess Pingyang's gentle smile, and said embarrassingly: "No need, I have to go to the Injury Barracks and Huotou Camp later, it's better to wear the short brown before to do things more conveniently."

"How can that work?" Princess Pingyang frowned, disapproving of Xue Yan's "resignation", "You used to be a commoner, and according to the court rules, you have to wear coarse cloth and short brown, but now you are the heir of the Duke of Wei. Well, you can’t wear it that way. Besides, those coarse clothes are uncomfortable to wear and don’t keep you warm, where can you find clothes made for you by Auntie?”

After a pause, she said with reddish eyes again: "Aniang has been making these clothes for many years. Since the year you were abducted at the age of three, Aniang has made clothes for you every year according to the solar terms. Aniang originally I don’t know how to stitch women’s red, but after so many years of practice, the embroidery is also very good. My mother didn’t know your size, so she made it according to the stature of a child of a similar age. My mother thought that she would never have a chance in this life Look at your clothes. I didn’t expect that God still favored me and your father, and finally found you.”

Seeing Princess Pingyang beaming with joy, Xue Yan felt her eyes were slightly hot, and hurriedly nodded in response: "I will wear it! I will wear it!"
