At the beginning, there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, and the woman is busy in the imp

The rest of his words were blocked by the girl's slender hands. "Hmph, why did I fall in love with such a heartless person like you? You always make me angry."

The soldier's eyelashes trembled slightly, and hot tears fell on the back of the girl's hand. The two of them hugged each other tightly without being noticed by others.

Xie Mingcheng was wearing a tight-fitting military robe with narrow sleeves. He still had a childish smile on his face. The young man bared his teeth in the sunshine and said, "Xiao Yuheng, is the second brother handsome?"

As he spoke, he made a few weird gestures, making everyone's eyebrows curl up.

"Jun, the second brother is more handsome than Pan An, and as handsome as Song Yu."

The smile in Xie Yuheng's eyes was bottomless, and he tightened his fingers slightly while holding the small bundle.

The twelve-year-old second brother would not want to be separated from his family and would hold his aunt in his arms and cry.

The fifteen-year-old second brother already knows how to deliberately make his family laugh to dissipate their sad emotions.

Xie Mingcheng looked at Xie Mingli, who was elegant and refined, and rolled his eyes.

Put forward a proposition no less than "Your mother and I fell into the water at the same time, who do you save first?"

"Then who is more handsome, me or my eldest brother?"

Xie Yuheng's eyes swayed from side to side, just when everyone thought she was going to say: The second brother is more handsome.

She just smiled and said: "Everyone has his own handsomeness. The eldest brother is elegant and handsome, and the second brother is bright and handsome."

Xie Mingcheng rubbed her head vigorously and muttered: "You are a naughty little kid. You can't offend either party."

The horn sounded in the distance, Xie Mingcheng racked his brains, and the lively atmosphere he created dissipated.

Qian couldn't help but get close to Xie Tinghai's chest and sobbed softly.

Xie Yuheng handed the small bundle to Xie Mingcheng. The brother and sister looked at each other for a long time, saying nothing.

Xie Mingcheng's hand holding the baggage tightened and loosened, and he strode up to Qian and Xie Tinghai.

He lifted his robe and knelt down, and said in an angry voice, "Don't worry, mother, I will fight for your life and come back."

Qian had tears in her eyes, shaking her head but unable to say a word. The hand that leaned over and touched the young man's face trembled slightly. She didn't want any fate, she just wanted her son to return safely.

Xie Tinghai rubbed the tip of his sore nose and patted Xie Mingcheng's shoulder heavily. "If you can't fight, run away. Don't be stupid if you know better."

Xie Mingcheng faced his father with a smile that was uglier than crying.

Military orders are like mountains. If you retreat on the battlefield, you will die faster than if you advance.

The horn sound in the distance changed its tone, but after all, it said nothing.

After kowtowing firmly, Xie Mingcheng quickly got on his horse.

Finally, he turned around and took a serious look at everyone, as if he wanted to carve their figures into his mind, then whipped his horse and chased the large army.

A giant eagle flew out of the forest, spread its wings and circled in the air, then followed the traveling team.

The Suzaku retreated into Xie Yuheng's sleeves sadly, and the latter looked up at the sky, with a wet and hot feeling in his eyes.

In the second year of Yongping, a locust plague broke out in Vientiane.

Rinan County in Jiaozhou was also implicated, but Rinan County had the Daliang court issuing relief food.

The people of Vientiane have nothing to eat and not a single inch of green left. There has been no relief for several years, and they can only grab Daliang's food.

Although there are war elephants, one is worth ten, and the most they can do is wander outside Munan Pass, but it is not a cause for concern.

There will be little rain in the north this year. When the pastures die in winter, the Huns will surely move south in large numbers.

If the north and the south start a war at the same time, it will waste people and money, which will be detrimental to the country.

We can only calm down the bouncing Wanxiang Kingdom first, and then we can fight against the Xiongnu with all our strength in winter.

Xie Yuheng sighed helplessly.

Yongping, Yongping, the reign name chosen by Chu Heng is excellent, but how can everything go as planned and peace be forever.

"If you sigh too much, you won't grow taller." Xie Mingli took her hand and tapped it gently with a folding fan.

"Brother." Xie Yuheng looked sideways.

"Well, big brother is here."

The young man helped her tidy up her hair that was messed up by Xie Mingcheng, "Mingcheng is no longer a child, and he doesn't want to lag behind us."

"I know, I'm just still worried."

Xie Yuheng lowered his eyes, she understood the truth. But fifteen years old is not yet an adult in later generations, and it is also the case now. A man can only be considered an adult after twenty lines of crowning ceremony.

Xie Mingli laughed and said, "If Mingcheng knows what you said, he will really wish that everyone in the world knows about it." After saying this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

The silly brother has grown up and has his own ideas, which is really worrying.

As if to understand the meaning of the world, the sky was still clear, and a light rain began to fall.

The group of people hurriedly got into the carriage. Qian held Xie Yuheng and Xie Mingli's hands and gave them endless instructions.

"Remember to drink ginger soup when you go back. Don't catch the wind and cold. It will be uncomfortable in the Gongyuan."

Xie Yuheng leaned on Qian's shoulder, "Then Yuheng wants to drink the ginger soup cooked by aunt. If it is not cooked by aunt, I won't drink it."

Qian stroked her hair lovingly and kissed her carefully.

But I still miss Xie Mingcheng in my heart. It is urgent to go south, and now it is raining again, so be sure not to get sick.

After returning to Xie's Mansion, Mrs. Qian was busy making ginger soup and had Yu Zhaotang's account books delivered to her.

It's better to be busy. Be busy, don't have time to think nonsense.

Xie Yuheng looked away, took out a piece from the chess box, and rotated it on his fingertips.

"Well, if you succeed in the next audition next year, you will not be reused if you are too young. Why not try again a few years later?"

Si Yuandao dropped a piece at random, obviously not thinking about it.

Xie Yuheng's eyes were so dark that it was difficult to see what he was thinking. "Everyone wants to stay in the Hanlin Academy for three years, so it's better to go earlier."

With this said, Jinshi is like picking something out of a bag. Those who are not Jinshi will not be admitted to the Hanlin, and those who are not Hanlin will not be admitted to the cabinet.

Si Yuandao was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, putting all the chess pieces in his hand into the chess box.

He said angrily: "Don't say this outside, otherwise you will have to go out at noon, and sooner or later you will be put in a sack and beaten."

"Sir, do you not believe in yourself or Yu Heng?"

Xie Yuheng picked up a plate of Guanghan cake with a calm expression, walked to Zhiyu Pavilion, leaned on the railing and looked at the koi carps blowing bubbles under the lotus leaves in the pond.

I don’t know how the second brother fed them, but he took a bath several times a month and almost fed the koi in this pond into pigs.

Si Yuandao had a headache. In the beginning he could still teach this disciple, but in the past two years, he could only teach other things such as etiquette, music, archery, and horsemanship.

His learning progress is also amazing. He can't learn it at first, but he becomes proficient immediately after sleeping. It really makes people wonder if he is learning in his sleep.

"Huh, when the child grows up, it's not up to the master."

Si Yuandao was depressed, so he picked up the bayberry and drank the thirsty water in one gulp.

Xie Yuheng was silent. Although Chu Heng was a good king at present, her goal was the island country and she had to rehabilitate her ancestors.

She also cannot live forever. There are too many things to do in this life, and she is afraid that... she won't be able to finish them.

Si Yuandao smacked his lips, touched his goatee, and said happily: "But a nine-year-old Jinshi is also very respectable as a teacher."

"This makes all those old men in Shangjing's eyes red with envy, hahahaha."

Si Yuandao rubbed his hands excitedly. When he thought of those old dogs looking so angry, he wanted to play the piano in front of their house in the middle of the night.

Rong Shi placed the ginger soup on the stone table and filled a bowl for Si Yuandao and Xie Yuheng.

Xie Yuheng sat back and said, "Sir, have you ever heard of a folk saying?"

"Oh? What slang?"

"Crying and laughing, Huang..."

Before he finished speaking, Si Yuandao stuffed him with a piece of Guanghan cake.

Xie Yuheng raised his eyebrows, don't think she didn't see it. This unhygienic little old man just touched his beard without washing his hands!

He stretched out his hand and crushed the Guanghan cake into pieces. The torn Guanghan cake fell into the pool.

The chubby koi carp in the pond nimbly competed for the Guanghan cake, making a splashing sound.

......

The flowing clouds are moving slowly, the cicadas are chirping and the frogs are chirping, and the night is fragrant and dark.

Xie Yuheng sat up from the bed with a chicken coop on his head.

My uncle can't stand it, but my aunt can't. Whose good guy cicada holds a concert in the middle of the night!

The door, with four Xiangfei bamboo sticks nailed diagonally, opened with a creak. He was jumping up and down in the courtyard, catching cicadas when he heard the sound.

He saw his master with a murderous look on his face and a sword in his hand.

Then, with a bang, it was nailed to a tree not far away, and the cicada's chirping immediately disappeared. It's quite hot tonight, but Rong Shi feels a chill.

Suddenly, a stream of piano sound came from the yard next door.

I simply couldn't sleep, and my eldest brother didn't sleep either. Xie Yuheng climbed directly on the ladder next to the wall.

"You, you are not going to walk on a good road, but you want to climb over the wall." Xie Mingli put his right hand on the piano and popped his middle finger outward, with smooth and elegant movements.

Xie Yuheng climbed down the ladder in Xie Mingli's side. The courtyard looked like puddles of water and the sky was clear, with algae and algae lining the water.

Sitting on the futon opposite Xie Mingli, the bamboo shadows swayed on the piano.

Picking up one of the two cups of tea on the bamboo table, the temperature in the mouth was just right. Xie Yuheng smiled and joked: "It's a pity that I don't want to be a fortune teller."

Xie Mingli kept playing the piano with his fingertips and chuckled, "It's not as powerful as you said, but I just know that if a certain little monkey is woken up, it will definitely be upset for a while."
