Gongzhongji

Qing He smiled slightly, but subconsciously pulled the veil to cover her face as much as possible.

Qing He said: "Your Highness, if it wasn't for the Empress Empress who rescued her back then, Qing He wouldn't be alive now. I don't want Her Majesty to be imprisoned because of Qing He's incident. It will take away some of the guilt in my heart.”

It's not the first time Xia Yan heard Qinghe say this, but he still didn't know how to respond as before. He could only say: "Qinghe, don't say that. The mother didn't have an accident because of Qinghe. Those people have long since If they want to get rid of the queen mother, even if there is no Qinghe matter, they will take the opportunity to do it."

Qing He shook her head: "Your Highness, you don't understand."

Xia Yan didn't tell the difference, but just tightened Qing He's hand.For so many years, he and Qing He have depended on each other for life, and he has long regarded Qing He as kind as a sister and mother.

This time Xia Yan went to Su country as a hostage, and the palace wanted to send someone to follow him, but he refused.Xia Yan knew that Proton's life was not good, he didn't want to drag people to suffer with him, besides, those people didn't come willingly, and they weren't caring to be around, instead of leading people to be angry, it would be more comfortable to be alone.Xia Yan originally wanted to give Qing He some silver taels to let Qing He leave the palace and find a good home, but Qing He insisted on following him, even forcing him to die. .

Xia Yan and Qing He sat together and talked about some trivial things, and they talked about what Han Xixi's face would look like under the mask.

Han Shixi's mask covered most of his face above the nose, only his mouth and chin were exposed, and he didn't think he looked special just by looking at the exposed part, but Han Shixi was tall and tall, standing in front of Xia Yan looked more like a A big tiger and a little rabbit face each other, which makes Xia Yan feel very oppressed.

Xia Yan was once pinned by Han Shixi's chin, so he insisted that Han Shixi was an ugly devil, but Qinghe showed her girlish feelings, thinking that the face under Han Shixi's mask must be extremely handsome.But Xia Yan did not forget to pour a basin of cold water on him: Han Shixi had already made his mark in Su country 16 years ago, no matter what, he might be forty this year, right?They are all little old men!

Qing He said unconvinced: "How can there be an old man who is as tall and mighty as him, and full of momentum? He must be very young!"

Xia Yan curled his lips and said, "According to what you say, isn't he already a general in his teens? How is that possible?"

"Is there anything impossible?" Qing He said, "I heard that Beiren is tough by nature, and a boy in his teens can go to the battlefield to fight, and he is no worse than our weaker men."

Xia Yan didn't believe it.

Han Shixi first emerged when he was in a war against the nomadic people outside the Great Wall, one man and one rider entered the army alone, killing the opponent's back, causing chaos, and took the opportunity to rescue the Soviet coach who was surrounded.

Xia Yan once asked Lu Xinyang if he could do it in his place.Lu Xinyang said that the black and white Yuyu swordsmanship is not suitable for the battlefield, but if he can practice for another ten years, then there will be no problem.It's just that Lu Xinyang will be 29 years old after another ten years of practice, and he is more than one round older than the Han Shixi that Qinghe said.Boys in their teens haven't grown their bodies yet, and 29-year-olds are men in their prime. How can the two compare?

Xia Yan didn't meet many people. In his eyes, besides You Tianqi, Lu Xinyang was the most powerful martial artist. In terms of talent, Lu Xinyang was even better than You Tianqi. He could be called extremely talented.Xia Yan felt that even Lu Xinyang couldn't do it, so how could Han Shixi do it?

Xia Yancai didn't believe Qing He's nonsense.

Seeing that Xia Yan didn't believe it, Qing He didn't care, anyway, these were just for fun, what Han Shixi looked like had nothing to do with them, instead of caring about what Han Shixi looked like, it was better to care about what that man thought about the proton Yes, you must know that one sentence from Han Shixi can decide whether Xia Yan's life in Su will be good or bad in the future.

Qing He once heard Xia Yan talk about the situation on the day of the dinner party. Qing He frowned slightly when she heard this, and felt a strange feeling in her heart. In my heart, I think that when the time comes, I just need to pay attention.

(0.42 denominations) Gong Zhongji 30 Korean complex

Xia Yan and Qing He talked and joked about other things, and the envoys of Su State stopped on the way. Xia Yan and the two didn't care, but they didn't want someone to knock on the carriage after listening for a while, and Qing He responded: " Who is it, what's the matter?"

The people outside said: "I'm looking for Xia Yan."

Qing He frowned slightly.No matter how you say it, Xia Yan is also the prince of the Kang Kingdom. Even though it is inevitable for the proton to be despised, it would be too rude for people outside the carriage to call him by his name.

Qing He turned her head and glanced at Xia Yan, wanting to ask her master what she meant, but she didn't want to see her little master's surprised face, as if the sound outside reminded him of something.

"Your Highness?" Qing He called out, which brought Xia Yan back to his senses. Xia Yan pointed to the door curtain and said, "Qing He, open the door quickly!"

Qing He was very surprised, but still opened the curtain according to the words, and saw a man standing outside, with just one glance, Qing He was captured by the man's deep and bottomless eyes, and stayed on the spot.It was Xia Yan behind her who called her back to her sanity with an exclamation: "Brother Wei?!"

"Brother Wei?" Qing He glanced at the man in front of him in surprise—is this the man Xia Yan met when he left the palace that day?

Xia Yan left his seat and came to the door, pleasantly surprised: "Brother Wei, why are you here?"

Wei Zhuo smiled slightly and said, "You can be here, can't I?"

Xia Yan's expression darkened when he heard this, and he bowed his head in silence.Xia Yan thought of Xia Hao, those angry eyes, and that merciless slap, that slap hurt Xia Yan so much, his face hurt, and his heart hurt even more.Xia Yan lowered his head, unable to even distinguish words, just waiting for Wei Zhuo's reprimand.

Wei Zhuo seemed to have seen through Xia Yan's thoughts, but he didn't make trouble, he just laughed lightly, put a big hand on Xia Yan's head and rubbed it hard, making Xia Yan's hair all messed up, and Wei Zhuo said with a smile : "What did you think of? Speaking of which, even if you were a prince, I would have thought you were crazy. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, how could I have thought that there are princes who are so embarrassed and so... oh, simple. You probably are The easiest royal family I've ever seen."

Xia Yan was dumbfounded. He remembered that Qing He said to him when he was a child: "With great ability comes great responsibility, so it is good for His Highness to be a happy child." So, over the years, all the conspiracies and schemes have been suppressed by Qing He. Blocked from Xia Yan's sight, it is precisely because of this that Xia Yan's most obscure cold palace can still maintain a pure heart.

Wei Zhuo said again: "And I didn't lie to you too? In fact, I'm someone close to General Han. I first went to Jianxing (Kangguo capital) to investigate the situation. At that time, I didn't tell you my identity, did I? "

"Well... Thank you anyway, Brother Wei." Xia Yan's eyes were a little red.

Wei Zhuo smiled and said, "You don't have to call me Big Brother Wei anymore. My name is Han Fu. I follow the general's surname because I am with the general. You can call me Big Brother Han from now on."

Xia Yan didn't have any doubts, and immediately said: "Okay, Brother Han."

Han Fu said: "Then, why don't you let Big Brother Han go in?"

Xia Yan remembered that the two of them were talking at the door, and quickly turned sideways to let Han Fu enter the carriage, "Brother Han, please come in."

Han Fu got into the carriage, looked around, and asked casually, "Little guy, are you afraid of the cold?"

Xia Yan glanced at Han Fu in puzzlement, and heard Han Fu say, "You have burned the stove so hot before crossing the river, how can you stand it after crossing the river?"

In winter, the temperature in the south of the Yangtze River and the north is very different. The climate like Jianxing is as warm as spring for the soldiers in the north, so warm that some soldiers are not used to it.But compared to the fact that the climate in the south only affects the northerners in discomfort, the weather in the north is simply terrible for the southerners. It is hot in summer, cold in winter, and extremely dry in spring and autumn, which is not a comfortable climate.

Xia Yan felt that the heater in the carriage was just turned on just right, and this "just right" meant "hot" to Han Fu.

Xia Yan was a little embarrassed when he heard Han Fu's teasing, and he didn't want Han Fu to take it lightly, but he remembered the teaching of "keep a hand", and didn't know what to say for a while.Just when Xia Yan was at odds, Qing He interjected: "Lord Han, it's not that His Highness is afraid of the cold, it's mainly because the slaves are weak, and His Highness is considerate of the slaves, which is why the stove is heated up. My lord is from the north, and I'm probably not used to it. Let the servants turn on the stove."

Qing He relieved Xia Yan and tried to adjust the heater, but was stopped by Han Fu.Han Fu said: "It's okay, it's better to heat it up." He turned to Xia Yan and said, "Looking at your thin and weak appearance, I'm afraid that you will not be able to bear it when you arrive in He'an (the capital of Su State)."

"Uh... It's okay, it's okay, I... I'm not that afraid of the cold..." Xia Yan replied embarrassedly.He almost wanted to say that his health was not that bad after practicing martial arts for many years, but after thinking about it, it was only the second meeting between him and Han Fu today, so he swallowed those words back.

After all, Xia Yan did not fully trust Han Fu.After all, he is a person who came out of the palace. He is a little simple, but he still has the basic precautions and cautions. Moreover, he is going to the country of Su now, and the completely unfamiliar people and things make him improve. alert.

However, Xia Yan made a half-turn while speaking with the appearance of that little animal, which only made Han Fu feel that the little guy was afraid that he would worry, so he said some brave words, so he patted Xia Yan on the head and said: "If you are afraid of cold, burn more charcoal. We can afford something."

"Oh." Xia Yan bowed his head in response, paused, remembered something, raised his head and asked, "Brother Han, is it okay for you to come to me like this?"

Han Fu smiled and said: "The general asked me to come. He knew that I knew you, so he asked me to accompany you, lest you be too lonely, bored and sick."

Xia Yan suddenly felt that Han Shixi was not as ruthless as rumored.

Xia Yan couldn't help but opened the curtain and took a look outside. From a distance, he could see Han Shixi walking in the middle of the team on a horse. His back looked very tall.

Xia Yan turned around and asked, "Brother Han, are all of you northerners so tall?" Xia Yan made a gesture, and he found that Han Shixi and Han Fu were both very tall, standing in front of him like a hill.It's just that Han Fu's aura is not as fierce as Han Shixi's. Xia Yan can speak relaxedly in front of Han Fu, but under Han Shixi's ghost mask, even if Han Shixi didn't say or do anything, Xia Yan still feels oppressed.

Han Fu joked, "It's because you are too young that you think we are so tall."

Xia Yan blushed in embarrassment, he knew that he was short.

Han Fu said: "Northerns are taller than you southerners, but they are not as exaggerated as you think. It's just that this time they came to Kang, so they specially selected tall people to accompany them. But speaking of words, the general's relatives Most of the soldiers are tall and tall."

Xia Yan nodded after listening, thinking that he must grow taller quickly.

(0.5 fresh coins) Gongzhongji 31 ​​first arrived in He'an

The convoy drove all the way from Jianxing to He'an, and Han Fu accompanied Xia Yan, chatting with him along the way, and also told Xia Yan some common sense of northern customs, so that Xia Yan would not be so unfamiliar with the place where he would live in the future.

The further north we went, the colder the weather was, and it was snowing on the road. Xia Yan saw snow for the first time, and excitedly stretched out his hands out of the car window to catch the snowflakes, his little hands turned red from the cold.That's okay, but in this short period of time, the dry and cold winter wind blew Xia Yan's face open, causing him to grin his mouth in pain.Han Fu was so angry and funny, he took facial oil and rubbed it on Xia Yan, not allowing him to poke his head out of the window again.

The snowy day passed quickly, and Father Sun showed his face.Seeing the sun coming out, Xia Yan thought the temperature had risen, so he wanted to go out to have a look after he put on his coat, but Han Fu, who grew up in the north, knew that "snow is not cold enough to turn snow into cold", so he quickly stopped Xia Yan and gave him more A thick cloak allowed him to take a walk in the carriage at noon, so as not to catch a cold.

When the team stopped for repairs, Xia Yan also got out of the carriage, squatted in the snow and played curiously in the snow.He rubbed a snowball clumsily with his small hands in thick gloves, and looked around, the only familiar person around was Han Fu.Han Fu was talking to a soldier, Xia Yan waited for Han Fu to finish speaking, so he aimed at the target, threw the snowball on Han Fu's cloak with all his might.

Han Fu looked over, Xia Yan blinked at him, showing an innocent face.Han Fu was speechless for a while, strode forward and patted Xia Yan on the head, and said with a smile: "Little guy, are you rebelling!?"

Xia Yan was unsteady and fell to the ground, but raised his head and grinned at Han Fu, that kneeling and looking up with his hands propped on the ground—no one would believe that he is not a rabbit!

Han Fu also smiled, bent down and picked Xia Yan up from the ground, hugging him in his arms like a child, and said: "Okay, the ground is cold, you will catch cold if you play like this. Put your gloves on later. Take off your underwear and outer pants, or you will get sick if you get wet."

Xia Yan said awkwardly: "Brother Han, let me down... I, I can go..."

The corner of Han Fu's mouth curled up, and he said with a teasing smile, "Why, are you afraid that Big Brother will sell you?"

Sitting in Han Fu's arms, Xia Yan felt uncomfortable all over, and blushed involuntarily. He already knew that a 14-year-old boy in the north is a young man who can start a family and start a business, but he is still hugged like this, which is really embarrassing.

Han Fu saw through his thoughts at a glance, laughed loudly, and said, "Aren't you just a little one? Hehe, little guy, let the big brother hug you!"

The surrounding Su soldiers also laughed when they heard the conversation between Xia Yan and Han Fu. Although they were all well-intentioned, Xia Yan was still so ashamed that he wanted to dig a hole in the snow to hide.

Han Fu didn't bully Xia Yan for a long time before throwing Xia Yan back into the carriage, and ordered Qing He to take off Xia Yan's gloves and outer pants and bake them. Xia Yan, who had his coat stripped off, nestled under the quilt, holding a small heater in his hand , It's so uncomfortable to curl up on the couch.

Over there, Han Fu took off his cloak and folded it. Seeing Xia Yan huddled under the quilt, only revealing a pair of big eyes rolling around, Han Fu could not help but smile, got on the low couch, hugged Xia Yan into his arms, and said with a smile: "What a little boy!" Damn, when you get to He An, you should eat more and grow more meat!"

"Hehe, thank you Brother Han." Xia Yan burrowed into Han Fu's arms and found a comfortable position to lean against. Probably this comfort reminded him of something. He hesitated for a moment, then hid in Han Fu's arms and said softly, " Brother Han, I think your embrace is very warm... Hehe, it's so warm."

Xia Yan laughed to himself while talking, but Han Fu felt a little depressed: What has become of him?Stove?

As the convoy went north, Han Fu stayed by Xia Yan's side most of the time, and was occasionally called by Han Shixi to say something, and the people around him seemed to be quite respectful to Han Fu, which made Xia Yan feel that Han Fu was probably a very good person by Han Shixi's side. people of status.Sometimes Xia Yan would ask Han Fu if he would delay his affairs by staying with him all the time.Han Fu often just laughed, and occasionally answered by patting Xia Yan on the head and saying it's okay.

The convoy crossed the river, and after staying in the barracks for a few days, they headed towards He An. There were [-] more soldiers behind the team, but Han Shixi seemed to deliberately separate Xia Yan from the others, which made Xia Yan never get along with the envoys. Those soldiers only knew that Kang Guo had sent a proton, but they had never seen what it looked like.No matter what Han Shixi's intention was, it was a good thing for Xia Yan.

Back in He'an, only five hundred of the general's own soldiers entered the city, and the rest stayed outside the city to camp.

The people in the city heard that it was Han Xi's triumphant return, and they all went out of the city to greet him.

Han Fu has already returned to Han Shixi's side, and before leaving, he told Xia Yan to stay in the carriage obediently, not to get out of the car, not to poke his head, and not to join in the fun.Xia Yan was very obedient, and stayed in the carriage obediently, just pricking up his ears to listen to the movement outside.The people outside were noisy at first, and then I don’t know who started it first, and the chaotic noise gradually turned into a tidy shout, and the people shouted "General Han, thousand years old", the shocking voice made the carriage tremble .

Xia Yan didn't expect Han Shixi to be so popular in the country of Su. They traveled all the way in the suburbs and never went to the city, so they never encountered such a scene.Xia Yan couldn't help but lifted the curtain a crack and looked out secretly, and saw that the people along the street were kneeling on the ground and kowtowed, but they all raised their eyes to look at the front of the convoy—where Han Shixi was.That gaze clearly shows the admiration and devotion only when seeing the God of War in his heart.

Xia Yan whispered secretly. For the first time, he seriously examined the back of the person walking in front of the team. He wondered if he was influenced by the people around him. A huge tower between heaven and earth is infinitely looking up to.Xia Yan had never seen such an aura before.

Although he didn't like Han Shixi who had bullied him, Xia Yan couldn't help but respect this man.

The people gradually dispersed after the convoy entered the imperial city.Xia Yan's carriage followed Han Shixi's team ahead.Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people on the side of the road, Qing He lifted the curtain to ask the carriage driver where she was going, but the carriage only replied "just follow the general", and then said nothing.Qing He looked at Xia Yan helplessly, but Xia Yan acted indifferently, it didn't matter to him where he went anyway.

After driving for a long time, the carriage stopped, and the driver asked Xia Yan to get off the carriage. Xia Yan looked up at the plaque and found that he had come to Prince Xiang's Mansion.

King Xiang is Han Shixi.The title of a prince is more expensive than a single word, and the difference between single and double involves key issues such as the prince's grade, fief, hereditary, etc., and there is a huge difference.However, Han Shixi, a person with a foreign surname, actually conferred the single-word prince of Yipin, which shows how much the late emperor loved him.

Xia Yan heard about these things from Han Fu, and seeing that he had arrived at Prince Xiang's mansion, although he was a little puzzled, he didn't really care.

Han Shixi also got off his horse and walked in front of the crowd. A middle-aged man who looked like a butler at the gate of the palace came up to him and said, "My lord, you are back."

Han Shixi nodded to the housekeeper, walked in without stopping, took two steps as if he had noticed something, then looked back, and saw Xia Yan standing in front of the carriage in a daze, he said: "Come in. "

Xia Yan hesitated for a moment, and followed with Qing He.

However, Han Shixi didn't do anything special to Xia Yan, didn't bully him, and didn't give him a bad name, but just ordered the housekeeper to take Xia Yan to live in a side courtyard.After Xia Yan asked, he found out that the Proton Mansion was not ready yet, and now Xia Yan was asked to stay in Xiangwang Mansion for a few days.

Xia Yan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, he was really afraid of living in the palace, he didn't want to be "neighbors" with Han Shixi.

Xia Yan lived obediently in the yard for a few days, and no one came to bother him, and he didn't bother anyone. The food and drink expenses were very complete, and Xia Yan's life was very nourishing.Later, the housekeeper informed him that the Proton Mansion was ready, and Xia Yan moved out.

In fact, the Proton Mansion is not far from the Wang Mansion anyway, and the house is not big. It is said that it was the place where Han Shixi lived when he was first introduced to the emperor by a real person.

Until now, Xia Yan was truly staying in Su.

(0.5 coins) Candied haws must-haves in Gongzhongji 32

Half a month passed leisurely, and as far as Xia Yan felt, he felt that the life of Proton was more comfortable than that in Yufang Palace.

On the second day after Xia Yan moved into the Proton Mansion, Han Shixi sent someone to deliver this month's monthly money and bad smiles.The winter in the north is very cold, but with enough charcoal, Xia Yan can burn the fire vigorously, making the whole room as warm as spring. He can sit in the room, hold hot tea, read a book, chat, imagine A look at his uncertain future, without having to wear a thick winter coat to warm his body by practicing swords in the courtyard, or worry about dying after drinking a sip of tea.

No one restricts Xia Yan's activities, he can go out with the company of his guards, come across a small bookstore, buy a book or two, and read it quietly for several days without anyone disturbing him. Don't worry about the book being confiscated tomorrow.

Xia Yan never thought about such a quiet and leisurely life before.

"Qinghe, why do I feel that being a proton is very happy?" Xia Yan asked suspiciously. He always heard how sad and painful the life of a proton is, but he didn't feel it at all. He even liked this kind of life.

"That's because we met a good adult." Qing He replied happily.

Xia Yan knew that Qinghe admired Han Shixi very much. Although the man was wearing a ghost mask, it did not prevent Qinghe's rare girlish feelings from being brought to the extreme, rendering the unknown face under the ghost mask extremely handsome.

Xia Yan curled his lips, and was about to say something when he heard a voice outside, and a young voice said, "Master Han, wait a moment, I'll ask the young master to come out."

The voice came from a servant in the Proton Mansion. Xia Yan brought only Qinghe with him when he came to Su Guo, and Han Shixi sent some people to the Proton Mansion for Xia Yan to order, including a cook, a gardener, two handymen and Two nursing homes.Xia Yan didn't care, but Qing He said that these people were probably sent by Han Shixi to monitor him, so Xia Yan should not get too close to these people, but don't offend them, lest some villains talk nonsense in front of Han Shixi.

Xia Yan wondered who would come to him at this time.

The young man knocked on the door and announced outside the door: "Master, Mr. Han Fuhan has come to see you."

Xia Yan was very pleasantly surprised, and immediately got up to open the door, and sure enough, he saw Han Fu standing outside.

Han Fu touched Xia Yan's little head, and asked with a smile: "Little guy, do you miss your brother?"

Xia Yan nodded shyly, and replied softly, "Of course."

Han Fu smiled and explained: "The general returned to the court a few days ago and had a lot of business. Today I come to see you when I have time."

Xia Yan laughed and said, "Brother Han can see me, I'm already very happy. Brother Han, it's cold outside, come in quickly."

Xia Yan invited Han Fu into the house. After entering, Qing He took Han Fu's cloak, shook off the snow, and hung it aside to bake.

Han Fu took off his cloak, revealing a long brown dress.Before Han Fu was wearing armor, he was very heroic, but he was also very stern when he was not smiling. Now that Han Fu changed into a suit of casual clothes, he looked more handsome and approachable.Qing He watched with red eyes, Xia Yan saw it, curled his lips, and thought to himself: Qing He is really fickle!

Han Fu sat down by the stove and asked, "Little guy, are you used to living here?"

"Well, I like this place very much." Xia Yan said truthfully.

Han Fu looked at Xia Yan, and asked again: "Life in the cold palace is not good, is it?"

Xia Yan thought for a while, then evasively replied: "No, in the cold palace... it's just a bit boring."

Han Fu knew that Xia Yan wasn't telling the truth, and he didn't point it out. He just said, "What about now? If you want something, I'll send it to you."

Xia Yan quickly waved his hand: "No shortage, no shortage. General Han sent someone to send enough money. If necessary, I can buy it myself."

Han Fu smiled and touched Xia Yan's little head, and said, "Don't be polite if you have any difficulties, you know?"

Xia Yan waved his hand and said: "No, really not, I think... well, life is very good now. I often feel that I am not a proton, but recuperating here. It is really... too comfortable! "

Han Fu just smiled and took a sip of tea. Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was a little silent, he thought for a while and suggested, "Little guy, do you want to go for a walk? You haven't visited He'an yet, have you?" ?”

"what?"

"Although the north is not more commercially developed than the south, Su State has trade with the nomads outside the Great Wall, and many goods you can't see in the south. How about it, do you want to go out with me?"

Xia Yan was very pleasantly surprised: "Is it really possible?"

Han Fu smiled and nodded.

It's not that Xia Yan has never been on the street, but he and Qing He came out before, they were not familiar with He An, and the guards who followed them didn't pay much attention to them. It's "living under the fence", the two of them ran out like that, it always seemed a bit sneaky.

But now it's different, Xia Yan followed Han Fu out, dignifiedly, and he didn't go to the alleys around the house, but to the bustling East Market.

He'an and Jianxing are somewhat similar, both divide the city into east and west. In He'an, the East Market is used for business. It is very lively during the day, but at night it is so deserted that there are no ghosts. It's a folk house, and at night when all the lights are on, it shows the taste of the capital.

The products in the north are really different from those in the south, but it’s winter now, so there are very few vendors in the north, and almost all the vegetables you can see in the vegetable stalls are cabbage, which is no different than in the south, although there are not many vegetables. But anyway, there are all kinds of river and seafood.However, in He'an's street market, you can see some game vendors, such as snakes, frogs, and roe deer. Most of the animals in the mountains in winter have gone to hibernation, and their bodies are fat and easy to catch.

There are many snacks on the street, such as pancakes, dumplings or other pasta that can make people warm up from the cold winter, and there are a lot of candied haws. Xia Yan has never eaten candied haws in the south, but now he sees the shiny The candied haws were very curious, looked at them several times, and finally couldn't help but touched a few copper coins and asked for a bunch.

Xia Yan took a bite, and the syrup was so hard that he couldn't bite it open.The little guy couldn't put his mouth down, so he bit off a whole hawthorn with all his strength, and couldn't grasp it with his hands, and he couldn't put it back on the string, so he had to put the whole hawthorn in his mouth, stuffing his entire cheeks bulging.It took a long time to crunch and swallow, and the corners of my mouth were covered with sugar crumbs.

Although he was embarrassed to eat, Xia Yan still fell in love with this sweet and sour snack.

Han Fu grew up in the north, and candied haws were really greasy snacks, but when he saw Xia Yan's crunchy appearance, he had no doubts: Could it be really delicious?

As if he could hear Han Fu's doubts, Xia Yan suddenly thought of something after biting off the second hawthorn, raised his head and said vaguely with a large hawthorn in his mouth: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Han Fu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but looking at Xia Yan's bright eyes, he knew that the little guy was asking himself if he wanted to eat.

Han Fu stroked Xia Yan's little head, and said with a smile, "Eat it, I grew up eating this kind of food since I was a child, and I'm tired of eating it."

Xia Yan swallowed the candied haws with great difficulty, and asked curiously, "Did Brother Han also like to eat candied haws when he was a child?"

"Yeah, I like it very much, but the master is strict and doesn't allow me to eat these things." The nostalgia on Han Fu's expression was fleeting, and then he said with a smile, "Later, I left the master and bought it for a while. A lot of candied haws, it feels like I want to make up for what I didn’t eat when I was a child, but maybe I ate too much at that time, and I haven’t eaten since then.”

"Huh?" Xia Yan was very surprised. It turned out that Brother Han, who seemed very stable, would have such a past, and he didn't look like it at all.

Han Fu smiled, and then said again: "By the way, little guy, this candied haws is delicious, but you can't eat too much, too much will hurt your stomach. Such a big bunch, don't eat it until you eat a few grains." .”

Xia Yan looked at the candied haws in his hand, there were twenty big ones in a bunch, he couldn't help but feel distressed and said: "But if you don't eat it, it will be wasted."

Han Fu said: "If you're afraid of wasting it, I'll wrap it up for you later, and you take it back to eat with Qing He, and eat it after dinner, and share it between the two of you. If you have dinner to rest your stomach, you'll be fine."

"Oh well."

Xia Yan nodded obediently. He has traveled all the way from Jianxing, and he already knows that in the northern land, it is better to follow Han Fu's advice.

(0.46 coins) Gongzhongji 33 Ruling King

The two walked slowly, and Han Fu briefly introduced He An's location to Xia Yan.When he reached the entrance of an alley, Han Fu said: "Crossing this alley is Yongchunfang, the largest flower street in He'an. You know the flower street, right? A little guy like you shouldn't just run there. "

Of course Xia Yan knew what Flower Street was. What Han Fu said reminded him of the "initiative education" that Lu Xinyang gave him not long ago. Xia Yan was a little shy but very curious. Seeing all kinds of brightly dressed people passing by, Xia Yan hesitated for a moment, and asked blushingly: "Brother Han, is there not only girls, but also... boys in that place?"

Han Fu narrowed his eyes, and asked with a smile, "Why, the little guy wants to have sex too?"

Xia Yandahao quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, no!"

Han Fu teased him: "It's not like this, so what?"

Naturally, Xia Yan couldn't mention Lu Xinyang to Han Fu, that was a secret.Xia Yan faltered for a long time before making up an excuse: "It's just... I heard it said... Besides, isn't there something about Prince Yunyao and Lexin written in the book..."

Han Fu laughed twice, and was about to answer, but there was a noise from the alley that attracted Xia Yan's attention.

Xia Yan watched curiously. On the other side of the alley, there seemed to be another group of people in brocade clothes huddling past. Unfortunately, the distance was too far to see clearly.

Xia Yan wanted to read more realistically, but Han Fu grabbed Xia Yan and brought Xia Yan into his arms, preventing him from looking towards the alley. He turned sideways again, completely blocking the little Xia Yan. into his own body shape.

Xia Yan raised his head puzzled, and saw Han Fu pressed his head into his arms again, preventing him from showing his face.Xia Yan didn't dare to struggle, and obediently fell in Han Fu's arms, and Han Fu didn't let go until the noise from the alley had passed.

Xia Yan looked at Han Fu suspiciously.Han Fu casually stroked Xia Yan's messy hair, and explained: "The person who passed by just now is Ruling King Tong An, he is the younger brother of Empress Dowager Ciren, and the uncle of the current emperor. The words will take you away, so you must not be seen by him, you know?"

Xia Yan blushed immediately: "He—he is shameless!"

Han Fu pinched Xia Yan's face, and said with a smile: "The late emperor promulgated a ban on prostitution, prohibiting officials from having sex with female prostitutes, which led to the rise of masculinity. It's just a common thing to raise Xiaoshi."

Xia Yan's neck was red with embarrassment, he stared for a long time, and said: "Doesn't General Han care?!"

Han Fu laughed and said: "Little guy, if other people have taken a fancy to you, they might not dare to act rashly because of the general's reputation, but this country's uncle doesn't have so many scruples, and the country's uncle, the general doesn't care too much." How do you manage it?"

"why?"

"Because he is the emperor's own uncle."

"The general is afraid of the uncle?"

"I'm afraid it won't matter." Han Fu explained, "In the future, the general will return the power to the little emperor. Although the uncle is incompetent, he is the only uncle of the emperor after all. From the name, he is the emperor's confidant and confidant. No, it's just that if there are too many constraints on the uncle of the country, it will attract suspicion."

Xia Yan was stunned, many questions arose in his heart, but he didn't know how to ask them, he hesitated for a moment, then fell into silence.

Han Fu warned in a solemn tone: "If you accidentally offend King Ruling in the future, the only person who can save you is the general."

The two wandered around until dusk, Han Fu sent Xia Yan back to the mansion and then left.

Qing He fetched water for Xia Yan to take a bath. Xia Yan soaked in the bathtub and told Qing He about shopping today. When it came to the candied haws, Qing He asked: "Then why didn't you bring it back? Oh, I see, it must be It's the young master, you are too greedy, you also ate Qing He's share, right?"

Qing He made a joke, Xia Yan quickly distinguished: "No, Qing He, I didn't eat it."

Qing He joked: "Could it be Master Han who ate it?"

Xia Yan said: "No, originally I wanted to bring it back, but
