Rebirth of the backing and eating mountains

It was dusk when we entered the village.

The winter wheat in the field has been harvested, the rice has just been planted, and the villagers who have come back from the fields are returning to the village one after another. Most of the carriages in Anxuan's family know each other. They know that An Rubao has returned, and those who have a good relationship come forward to say hello After all, there are two people in the village who went to Beijing to rush for the exam, one became a master of Jinshi, and the other failed in Sunshan. I am afraid that they are so useless and decadent, so why bother to find it uncomfortable.An Rubao didn't care at all, he replied when someone spoke, and said hello when he saw acquaintances, as if he didn't see the embarrassment of the villagers, which made the husbands who heard the news and rushed out to watch the excitement endlessly .

Someone stretched his head and murmured suspiciously: "Isn't this Anju who failed the exam? Why is he so happy? Could it be that the one who announced the good news made a mistake?" Man, the red paper in his hand has his name written on it, how can he send it wrong, let me tell you, don’t look at him smiling happily, I’m not sure what’s going on in my heart.”

The one with An Rubao's family is filthy, and they gloated and said: "Thinking that whoever wants to take the exam can pass the exam, it depends on whether there is such a fate, and it depends on the prosperity of the family. Chengyou, a fortune teller when he was young, said It's the fate of being an official, so I won't pass the exam. I don't think the Anju family of Anxuan's family has that fate..."

There was Bai, who couldn't see it, and said: "It's better than you if you don't have that life, isn't it, he is a master after all, and you, you don't know what a word is when you get a shoulder pole. You can laugh at him, just save yourself... "

An Rubao naturally couldn't hear these discussions.

The carriage passed all the way, and soon arrived in front of my house. Relatives and friends were already waiting there. Apart from my own family, Fang Bo's family, An Hua Chuli, An Ling Anren and other close family members all came, but Qu You also held the child and stood behind the others. Although the scene was far from An Chengyou's, it made An Rubao feel a lot of warmth.

When the carriage stopped at the door, An Rubao got out of the carriage, and was surrounded before he could stand still.Haven't seen each other for a few months, even though Qin Fengdang's eyes were red, he first took his father and son to look him up and down, and said: "I lost weight, I suffered a lot on the road." An Xuan patted An Rubao's Shoulder, the others didn't say much, they only asked about their health, how hard the journey was, etc. An Rubao answered them one by one tirelessly, turning his gaze among the crowd, and then fell on his husband. Chu Ye looked at him straightly, the two eyes intertwined, full of longing.

As she grows older, An Ruyu's temperament has stabilized a lot in the past two years. She didn't rush forward clamorously like when she was a child, and stood aside laughing with her mouth pursed. Song Yi stood beside him, already a bit handsome There was also a bit of joy on his face.

On the other hand, Fang Qi and Xing Xiaohu were also very excited when they saw Xing Shan. Xing Shan hugged his husband and young master vigorously, needless to say that the family of three cried and laughed together.

Qin Feng cried for a while, Fang held back his tears, and said: "Look at me, I'm confused, what are you doing standing at the door, hurry up and enter the room." An Rubao also smiled and said: "Talk in the room." And Watching Anhua, Fang Jiancheng and Xing Shan, they first moved all the things in the carriage into the courtyard, then unloaded the carriage, and then followed the others into the main room in the backyard.

After entering the house, An Rubao first took out all the presents he bought for everyone in the capital, and gave them away one by one. It was enough to finish the sentence, and it was the roar of An Rubao's stomach that brought everyone back to their thoughts.The food was ready at home, Qin Feng and Fang Qi took a few brothers to the kitchen to make arrangements, and soon the food was on the table.

The food was very rich, everyone talked and laughed, and it took an hour to eat a meal before they left.When the rest of the people had left and only the family members were left, An Rubao put away his smile and said to Qu You: "Brother, you must have known about the eldest brother. I sent him off on the day he left. Before leaving, let me tell you that I must wait for him to come back." After speaking, he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Qu You: "This is the letter that Big Brother entrusted me to pass on to Brother."

Qu You took the letter with trembling hands, and seeing the vigorous handwriting on it, the circles of his eyes turned red.Zheng Qi'an was sitting in his arms, a one-year-old child who was still not very sensible, stretched out his little hand to wipe Qu You's face, and said, "Ah, don't cry." Qu You hugged him and kissed him, Smiling to An Rubao: "Thank you Rubao for your dedication to us, it is our blessing to recognize you as a brother."

An Rubao hurriedly said: "Brother, why are you being polite to me? People fawn on people, and there are no longer a few people who call them brothers and sisters. As a result, once they are down, no one cares about them, and they have to walk in detours, for fear of getting bad luck. If it weren't for good brothers like you and Shi Fei, how could Qi'an and I live happily ever after? In this peaceful day, how can Jun Yu go into battle and kill the enemy with peace of mind? They say that it is easy to add flowers to the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, and what you have done is a hundred times more difficult than sending charcoal in the snow."

Qin Feng said from the side: "Since they are brothers, they should watch out for each other and help each other. Don't think too much about it, just live in peace of mind. When Junyu triumphs in the future, your family will be reunited."

Qu You understood that what An Rubao did could not be repaid with a word of gratitude, but just out of feelings, so he calmed down and said a few words, after all, he was thinking about reading the letter, so he said goodbye before it was time, and hurriedly hugged the child. gone.

It was getting late, An Ruyu and Song Yi sat aside, they were already gasping for breath, Qin Feng took care of them and went to sleep, only An Xuan and his wife, An Rubao and Song Chu were left in the room, An Xuan Fang said "Rubao, as the saying goes, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. There will be more opportunities in the future. If you want to take the exam, you can take the exam again. Besides, our family is not here." I thought my father would be somewhat disappointed, but who knew It's not obvious at all, An Xuan has considered these words for a long time, but he still said them.

Qin Feng also said: "Your father is right. Scholars study to understand things and know etiquette. Don't be too persistent about other things."

On the way back from the capital, An Rubao thought over and over again, and he had a plan in mind, but he was not in a hurry to tell his father and mother, after hearing what his father said, he only nodded in agreement.

An Xuan and Qin Feng ordered as soon as they arrived, thinking that their father might be tired after driving for more than ten days, so they asked him to go back to rest early.An Rubao waited for these words, hurriedly bid farewell to his parents, and then dragged Song Chu back to the west courtyard.

As soon as they entered the room, An Rubao put his arms around his husband and kissed again and again. The panting of the kiss stopped, and he was pushed behind the screen. There was water in the bathtub inside, and Song Chu went to the stove again He brought hot water and poured it into a bucket.

An Rubao took off his clothes, took a short shower, and then sat in the bathtub. He was so exhausted after rushing this journey, soaked in hot water, he was lazy and didn't want to move more, just Waiting for Song Chu to take a cloth towel and try his best to scrub him clean, wash his hair, change the hot water a few times, the soaked skin is a little wrinkled, Fang got up and dressed, and went into the bedroom.

When Song Chu waited for him to leave, he also hurriedly took a shower, cleaned up his things, and went back to the house.

In the house, An Rubao was leaning on the kang, reading a book with great interest, when he heard the movement, he raised his head, and saw Song Chu coming in, he threw the book aside, got up and stretched out his hand to drag his husband onto the kang, turned over and pressed him to the bed. Under him, whispered in his ear: "Miss me? Huh?"

Song Chu's ears were already sensitive, and when he talked close to his ears, the hot air he exhaled went straight into his ears, and he shrank his head immediately, and said honestly: "I think about it."

An Rubao liked his husband's honest appearance the most, sucked hard on the back of his neck, and asked, "What do you think?" Song Chu raised his arms around An Rubao's neck, and said in a low voice: "I think about it every day."

An Rubao chuckled, turned over with Song Chu in his arms, let him lie on his body, stroked his back with his palm, and said, "Xiao Chu, are you disappointed that I lost my name to Sun Shan this time?"

Song Chu looked up at him, shook his head, and said, "Don't be disappointed, didn't daddy say that victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, you are so good, you will definitely pass the exam next time." An Rubao smiled and patted He nodded his head and said, "You have such confidence in me? Then, what if I don't take the scientific examination anymore?"

Song Chu tilted his head, took An Rubao's hand with his hand, played with his fingers, and said, "Don't take part in the scientific examination? Well, then you don't have to be bored in the study every day, and you can accompany me to the fields and up the mountains Playing, you can also go hunting, you can also build a snowman in the snow in winter, and you don’t have to leave for a long time... Well, it’s very good.”

An Rubao stretched out his hand to pinch his nose, and said: "You know how to play all day... After taking the imperial examination and becoming an official, you will be able to serve groups, the house is full of gold and silver, and the scenery is endless. Don't you envy?"

Song Chu curled his lips and said, "There's nothing to be envious of. You can do things yourself. It's useless to have too many servants. Gold and silver can't be eaten."

An Rubao laughed and said: "You are the only one who thinks this way, and you are right. If you want to talk about the scenery, Zheng Guogong's mansion used to be very beautiful. It wasn't because of the emperor's words that he was confiscated and locked up. If it wasn't for the war, I don't know what will happen When will I be imprisoned, um, I will stay in this Qingshan Village from now on, and be an honest farmer with you, but I don’t know anything about farming, so I might ask you to support me in the future.”

Song Chu puffed up his chest and said, "Don't worry, I can take care of you. When you're not around, I'll practice martial arts and practice arrows. The arrow skills will get better and better. It's no problem to pierce Yang with a hundred steps. Xiaoyu, Xiaoyi and Xiaohu are all my apprentices now." Yes, you also practice with me, and when autumn comes, we will go up the mountain, hunt small wild animals to eat at home, and sell the big ones for silver, which can also be exchanged for a lot of money."

An Rubao smiled, and said: "Yes, it's so powerful... I'm just joking with you. I'm a father, so I don't want you to raise me. I've saved some money in the past few years, and I'll buy more tomorrow." The top of the mountain is full of trees, and you are buying more fields. From now on, you can be a big landlord with peace of mind, collecting rent and counting money every day...you..."

There was a slight snoring sound in his ear, An Rubao kept silent, stretched his head to look, and suddenly couldn't help but smile bitterly, it turned out that Song Chu had gone to see Duke Zhou at some time.He had already noticed the blackness in Song Chu's eyes, thinking that he hadn't slept well these days, so he gently took him out of his arms, put him on the pillow next to him, kissed his husband's forehead lightly, and closed his eyes. eyes.
