Xue Panzhi's gossip red mansion

In the early morning of the second day, Xue Pan finished a set of boxing in the courtyard, and called Danggui, "The seasonings I asked you to prepare are all ready."

Dang Gui nodded with a bit of confusion, "Grandpa, I put everything away, but you really didn't take anyone with you, so you went to the mountain with Master Wu? It's a high mountain, so I'm afraid you'll have to sleep outside. Or, It’s better to go up in a carriage, and you can sleep in the carriage. It’s winter now, even if it’s not too cold in the south, it’s not as cold as when the sun is shining. Also, if you really don’t bring a small one up, it’s better I can give you night watch or something."

Xue Pan stuffed the sweat towel into Dang Gui's hands, and stopped listening to his nagging, "Okay, I don't know what you look like. When you were on duty at night, you could not doze off, and if you called, it would be Jing Jing. Go. Stop mumbling, we'll be down in two days at the most."

After Xue Pan washed up and changed his clothes, Xun had already arrived at the gate of his yard.Seeing the refreshing Xue Pan, he smiled naturally, "It's really not easy for Qiu Ping to insist on this practice every day. When I was a child, my father ordered me to practice riding and archery every day after morning class." Yes. These years are not what they were then, and I persisted every day."

"Fifth brother, this daily exercise is a good thing, isn't the body everything? By the way, don't you wonder who taught me this kung fu?"

Xie really doesn't know about this matter. Regarding Xue Pan's past, there is always a hint of mystery in the simplicity, as if those knowledge and minds have really come true.And Xue Pan's kung fu is far superior to that of the guards and dead soldiers of the imperial city that Xi has seen. It is quite like the master of the forbidden book. The strange person can't get rid of the relationship. "I guess your master may be an expert who lives in the city, but I don't know how he fell in love with you as a disciple. Could it be in the story book? When I saw your bones are so clear, I couldn't help accepting you as a closed disciple. .”

The fifth brother really became more and more relaxed talking to himself, and they all started to make up such jokes, but thinking of the Taoist, Xue Pan still had a point for the hidden masters in this world. "Fifth brother guessed half right. He cured the disease I saved when I was a child. He left a pamphlet saying that it is not difficult to keep fit. It's just a matter of persistence. Fifth brother, do you want to give it a try? .”

Xie Ye's thoughts were all brought over by the illness Xue Pan said. He had heard rumors that Xue Pan was in poor health when he was young, but he didn't ask about it, fearing that it would poke some hidden pain. "Calpin, your illness..."

Seeing Xun's tense expression, Xue Pan's heart warmed up. He was concerned about himself. He was clearly talking about practicing martial arts, but it was this kind of heart that made him start to treat him. Xie let go of his defenses and gained a growing trust. "It's all over now, Fifth Brother, those are all in the past. I just want to ask you, if you want to try martial arts as well, it's for strengthening your body."

Seeing Xue Pan's expression that didn't seem to be fake, Xie nodded slowly, letting him go with some pain. "If Qiuping is willing to teach, I am willing to practice. It is better to hit the sun than to choose a day, so let's start tomorrow." But Xie thinks that this is too much getting along with each other, so why not do it? .

While they were talking, the two had already arrived at the stables, picked out their horses, hung up their burdens, and left Chengyuan.

The weather is fine today, the wind is sunny, and it is a good day to go hiking. The tea reform has come to an end in Fujian, and the people here have resumed their old lives.The two passed the market all the way, left the city gate, and looked at the traders coming and going on the official road, as if the fear in people's expressions some time ago had never happened.As far as the endurance of the people is concerned, perhaps throughout the ages, they have been great. They are tolerant and forbearing, most of them are simple and kind, but they are the most indispensable cornerstone of this country.

Xie listened to those chatting and greeting words, which were full of family anecdotes, talking about trivial matters such as tea, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, but felt that these were more exciting than those simple chats about piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and wine. I have a sense of peace of mind, and most importantly, those around me.

Over there, Xue Pan stopped his horse and bought a few pancakes from a small stall, as if he had bought some gourmet pancakes as a gift, "Fifth brother, look, these are Fujian pancakes, the most authentic kind, no wonder everyone I bought them all at his house. I’ve heard of this reputation a long time ago, and I can finally taste it today, and it’s best to eat it while it’s hot. Would you like one too?”

Xie was dazzled by Xue Pan's gluttonous appearance, and got off the horse in a good manner. If you say that they only had a bowl of porridge for breakfast, they planned to buy some local snacks along the street to fill their stomachs.While eating here, while watching the stall owner spread the cakes there, he is very skillful.First apply a layer of oil on the iron pan, grab a small ball of the kneaded noodles, quickly stick it on the iron pan, and quickly spread a thin skin with a wooden pusher, like a magic trick.

Ask the guests what they like, or add sweet sauce, some even have mashed garlic, and then cook for a long time from the side, and take the dishes from the fragrant pot. There are dried tofu, radish, kohlrabi, etc., all kinds There are quite a lot, just squeeze out the juice and spread it on the floor, otherwise the skin will be broken.The last roll is finished, and some people like to add a little spicy, but it depends on their own preferences.

In the morning, standing on the street and eating cakes, and watching the stall owners as if they were performing cakes, I never thought about it before.After the two had finished eating and got on their horses, they let go of their hands and feet when they entered the mountain. They all took out their bows and arrows, walked through the mountain stream, and enjoyed the fun of hunting.

To say that I started to go to the mountains at the beginning, I just forgot the time. The original plan of not going into the mountains was forgotten when the interest came up.When the sun was past, it stopped.On the other hand, there were quite a lot of prey. In addition to small animals like pheasants and rabbits, there were also things like roe deer. They were all enough for two people to eat, and some of them could be brought back.

The two found a stream, and on the rocky open space by the stream, they grilled it over a fire, and while making food, they also started talking.

"I don't know how Min'er is doing in the capital." Xie looked at these prey and thought of his own children. Although the letters between the father and son have not been broken, they still can't stop thinking about it when they are free. up.If there is anything worth worrying about in the capital, Xie Min is the only one.

These words made Xue Pan think of the fifth imperial concubine. He secretly glanced at Xie, not knowing what this person thought about his wife.And the inexplicable emotion in my heart may be the jealousy in other people's mouths. No matter what, Xie will have such a wife, but in fact they already have a child.This kind of cognition made Xue Pan's movements of turning the branches in his hands pause.Don't be too greedy, Xue Pan kept admonishing himself secretly, but failed to accept what he said as usual.

Xie Shi at the side seemed to hear what Xue Pan was thinking, he knew that it is better to make things clear from the beginning. "Calpin, do you know that although I am the fifth among the princes, I had a child earlier than the third elder brother. It is God's will. Except for the wedding night, I hardly talked to her. That At night, I have Min'er. Sometimes, when I look at Min'er, I think of myself, and I can't tell who is more helpless. I lost my mother when I was young and was raised by a noble concubine. Although she doesn't treat me like a parent, she does It's also impartial. However, Min'er has such a mother, but it doesn't look like she doesn't."

"Fifth brother!" Xue Pan obviously didn't expect Xie to know these things, no matter how close they are, he will not interfere with the affairs of the fifth prince's residence, "These things, you..."

Xie smiled wryly, wondering if it was because of Xue Pan's reservations, or because of his mansion.He put down the branch in his hand and held Xue Pan's hand, "Calpin, do you really don't want to know, or are you afraid to know? Speaking of the things between us, it's not about who is forcing the other, what do you think?" The road ahead is difficult, and I don’t want to start easily, so I am willing to take the 99 steps, but at that time, you can not be stingy with the last step.”

Xue Pan couldn't pretend to be stupid any more because of these words, Xie's temperament is on his side, and he really doesn't give anyone any room for going straight to the point. "Fifth brother, I don't know what to say. If you want to say that the Xue family is the closest to me in this world, and I respect Mr. Song the most, but Mr. Yan Shi who I admire the most. However, I would like to see the beauty of the world together the most. , but the people who ebb and flow are right in front of your eyes.”

He really still said it, and as the words fell, the burden on Xue Pan's heart seemed to be lightened all of a sudden, maybe it's not a bad thing to recognize his own heart.

"Pan'er!" Xie excitedly called out Xue Pan's nickname. He no longer cared about the fact that he was still baking food. He was full of thoughts that the sentence was right in front of him, and he asked cautiously and uncertainly, as if it was an auditory hallucination. , "You said it was me, right?"

Xue Pan met Xun Shi's bright eyes, and in his eyes, he saw himself. At this moment, it seemed that he was that person's whole world.He also simply said, "Of course it is Fifth Brother, why doesn't Fifth Brother have such confidence? There is no one in this world who treats me like you. I am not stupid, I know what you have done, These years, the Xue family has been in the capital, and you have secretly protected the matter. And you still believe so much in the absurd words that my kid said, it is absolutely impossible for someone else."

Xie listened to Xue Pan's words and felt that the choice of coming to the mountains today was really right. He thought he would have to wait a long time before he could get an affirmation from the person in front of him.Pan'er said that he has no confidence. In terms of feelings, he still really doesn't have one. He has never had a complete relationship. It goes without saying that the relationship between parents and brothers is in shambles in front of the imperial power. , and the friendship between husband and wife is ridiculous to say, in his wife's heart, it's fine if she doesn't have herself, but even her son can't see it.

"Pan'er, I'm really happy. I don't know what to say. I'll treat you well. I know you don't believe in those promises. After a few decades, the facts will prove everything. .”

Shocked by Xie Shi's solemn tone, Xue Pan nodded. At this moment, they are all sincere, and this kind of beauty is already rare.And the world is so difficult, he doesn't know the future, but since the other party is willing to work hard, he is not a person without courage. "If in a few decades, the world is peaceful and the prosperous age has begun, I would like to see the world beyond the sea."

"Okay! I promise you. At that time, I would like to go on a long voyage with you." Xie stared deeply at Xue Pan. If this was the deepest wish in Pan'er's heart, he would wait for the dust to settle and let go of everything. , Just accompany the people around me, watching the sun rise and set.

Enough is enough, Xue Pan said silently in his heart, it is enough to have this promise.I know that Xun is serious, and he is willing to let go of the glory of the royal family, and even the charm of imperial power, in exchange for a sincere relationship.The world is impermanent, and no one can tell in the future, but he will always remember this original intention, so his heart is warm.

It turns out that the feeling of being in love is warm enough to soothe his soul that has been lonely for three lifetimes.

At this time, a black donkey came out from nowhere. It looked at the humans by the stream, its eyes seemed to roll, and it wanted to secretly steal the roast pheasant on the tree branch.

"Bai Mao, what are you doing!" Xue Pan looked at the donkey passing by, and saw it was completely black, with a tuft of white dull hair standing on its head.Although what he said distracted his attention, he quickly caught the donkey with a branch and grabbed the branch with the pheasant back. "It's actually a donkey that can steal pheasants. Whose family do you belong to, Baimao?"
