Subduing Dragon

In the main room of the main house, the three children had lunch.

The meals were placed on a small round table, Lu Sheng and Long Xiang sat facing each other, and at the same time found that Yaya was not served on the table, but was sitting on the small bench by the door.A slightly higher chair was placed in front of the bench. On the chair was a small bowl of rice and a large bowl of vegetables, which were a mixture of several dishes on the table.Lu Sheng took a few glances and understood—no matter how young Yaya is, she is still a servant of the Long family, and she is not qualified to sit at the same table with the young master.He raised his head and looked at Long Xiang opposite him, he saw that Long Xiang was kneeling on the chair without sitting, and he was not eating seriously, he just fiddled with the plate of big candied dates in front of him, and occasionally glanced at Lu Sheng.

When Lu Sheng was [-]% full with a mouthful of rice and vegetables, Long Xiang suddenly said, "Hey, are you from Beijing?"

Lu Sheng refused to give him a good face, and nodded coldly with a big mouthful of rice in his mouth.

Long Xiang threw himself on the table, leaning his elbows on the sticky sugar juice dripping on the table, and rubbed the front of his bright red gown against the candied dates, "What is Beijing like? Tell me about it!"

Seeing his not too dirty attitude, Lu Sheng felt that he was a bit crazy, "Anyway, it's much better than your place."

Long Xiang was clearly interested, and stretched out his dirty hands to grab Lu Sheng's sleeve, "Tell me, tell me."

Lu Sheng backed away, "Don't hit people indiscriminately, I'll tell you."

Long Xiang didn't grab Lu Sheng, so he grabbed a piece of fried meat from Lu Sheng's bowl and put it into his mouth, he chewed and said, "Okay, I won't hit people anymore, tell me about it."

Lu Sheng felt that his rice bowl was polluted, and he was full immediately.

After lunch, Long Xiang's nurse and Yaya's aunt came on stage and did nothing else, just to wash hands and face and change clothes for Long Xiang.When Long Xiang was cleaned up, the nurse retreated, and the three children ran into Long Xiang's bedroom.This time the distinction between master and servant disappeared, and the three of them took off their shoes and jumped onto Longxiang's big bed together.

Long Xiang seemed to have lived so long that he hadn't even been outside the gate of his own house a few times, and he was very curious about the world outside the gate.Yaya hugged a big pillow, lying comfortably on the corner of the bed and listening to them talking, while Longxiang knelt in front of Lusheng on all fours, staring at him like a pug, "Lusheng, tell me!"

Lu Sheng sat cross-legged firmly, and before speaking, he put forward another condition, "It's okay to talk, but you have to let me touch your dragon's horns first."

Long Xiang immediately knelt and sat up with his head in his arms, "No way!"

"Then I won't talk, I won't talk about anything."

Long Xiang lowered his eyes, pursed his lips, and was silent for a moment thoughtfully. Finally, he walked forward and kneeled in front of Lu Sheng, supported the bed with his hands, and lowered his head, "Okay, let you touch it."

Lu Sheng came alive, almost excited to the point of nervousness.Raising his hands to hold Long Xiang's small head, he inserted his fingers into his short hair and stroked the other's scalp carefully.Suddenly, he let out a groan, and the index fingers of both hands pressed a small, round object on each side of Longxiang's head.

This thing is hidden under the scalp, it seems to grow on the bone, not much bigger than a peanut.Such two small things are born on the head, which is really not eye-catching, and it is even more invisible when the hair is covered.

Lu Sheng was a little disappointed, "Is this the dragon horn? It doesn't look like it!"

Long Xiang raised his head, "Why doesn't it look like that!"

Lu Sheng raised his hand and gestured above his head, "The dragon's horn is huge, but yours is too small."

Long Xiang stared, "You know what! When I grow up, my horns will get bigger!"

Lu Sheng had new doubts again, "If the horn really grows up, why do you wear a hat?"

Long Xiang raised his hand and slapped him on the shoulder, "Don't worry about it!"

Long Xiang was ruthless, and beating people was very painful. Lu Sheng had no intention of fighting him again, so he judged the situation, changed the subject, and told him about the situation in Beijing, and also described the scenery of the Tianjin Concession.Long Xiang first sat and listened, then got down on the ground, resting his chin on his hands and continued to listen.After lying down like this for a while, Long Xiang was probably tired, he threw forward like a boneless body, and simply threw himself into Lu Sheng's arms.Turning over on his back, he leaned on Lusheng's thigh and asked, "Where can I catch a foreigner with blond hair and green eyes? I haven't seen one yet. I'll ask Dad to catch one for me and come back to see. "

Hearing this, Lu Sheng was almost amused by him, "We can't arrest foreigners casually. If they are arrested, it will cause diplomatic disputes."

Long Xiang raised his hand to touch his chin, "What is a diplomatic dispute?"

Lu Sheng sighed, "Oh, you don't understand anything."

Long Xiang crossed Erlang's legs, took Lu Sheng's hand again, and compared the size with his own palm, "My father said, I have to grow up before I can go far, otherwise the gods in the sky will see me on the ground, and they will take me away." I took it back."

Lu Sheng didn't answer, feeling in his heart that his words were completely nonsense.Both the father and son of the Long family were a little confused, but the two little bumps on Xiang Long's head were indeed interesting, and ordinary people really couldn't get them out.

At this time, Yaya hugged the pillow and arched over.Lu Sheng suddenly had the tendency to embrace left and right, and felt that he was a very cute big brother, and immediately felt that this place was not too bad to be cured, and it was still okay to hold his nose and hold it.

Lu Sheng felt like a storyteller, talking about the scenery of Beijing and Tianjin all afternoon.The scenery that I am used to seeing, but now I have only been away for ten days and a half months, and looking back, I feel like a lifetime away, and it is particularly vivid and interesting to say.When it came to the end, Lu Sheng himself was surprised, he never thought that his eloquence was so good, and he could straighten the eyes of Longxiang and Yaya.

Long Xiang was not persuaded by Lu Sheng, but was persuaded by Lu Sheng.He wouldn't let Lusheng leave the room, and after dinner he lit the lamps, he still wouldn't let Lusheng leave, clamoring to share a bed with Lusheng.His nurse, whose husband's family name was Huang, was very surprised at this moment. While undressing Longxiang, she said, "If you don't sleep with me, no one will tell you about foxes at night."

Long Xiang sat by the bed, supported the bed with his hands and leaned back, and stretched his feet into Huang Ma's arms, "You can talk about a fox more than 1 times!"

As soon as this remark came out, Chen Ma who was beside her laughed.As Young Master Long's nanny, Mama Huang has quite a status in the Long family. She eats well and dresses well. When the New Year comes, she will get an extra reward. When others see it, they will naturally murmur.But Huang's mother also really cares about Long Xiang - her child died when she was four or five years old, and Long Xiang became her darling.The dragon stood, did not stand, sat, did not sit, if he said wild, he would act wild, if he said he was crazy, he would go crazy. She saw it with a smile, and didn't feel any mistakes. She only thought that the young master was lively, cute and majestic. of.

Chen Ma is not as obsessed as Huang Ma, who can level a bowl of water in her heart.From her point of view, Young Master Long obviously deserves a beating, and what's more, he still owes a beating.Such a lawless bastard, she was the only one she had ever seen in her life.In contrast, she felt that Lu Sheng was lovable--he was clean and smooth, with a straight heart, knew that the road was uneven, and drew his sword to help, even if the bastard scratched his face, he didn't cry or make trouble as if nothing happened , I really have the heart of a little man.The same is to serve children, she would rather serve Lu Sheng.If Lu Sheng could be taken care of, she wouldn't have to help Mama Huang and look at her face.

Of course, if Lu Sheng kept fighting with that brat, it would naturally be a big problem.Chen Ma only knew that he was the orphan of Master Long's friend. A friend's son was naturally not as valuable as his own son.So seeing that he had made peace with Long Xiang at this moment, Mama Chen was silent and breathed a sigh of relief.Going back to the room, she brought a brand new set of silk trousers and jacket, and she asked Lu Sheng to wear it to sleep at night.

Mama Huang lived for the sake of the dragon, and today she suddenly fell out of favor, and she lost her energy in resentment.Suddenly seeing Yaya standing at the door and peering with her head shrunk, she subconsciously wanted to scold Yaya to vent her anger.But when she glanced at Long Xiang on the bed, she didn't dare to speak out - Long Xiang himself often beat Yaya to run around in the yard, but he didn't allow others to touch Yaya's finger.More than a year ago, the guardian dragon happened to see Yaya cute, hugged her and teased her for a few words, but finally made Yaya cry, Xianglong heard the sound, bumped his head into his father's crotch, so that the guardian envoy With a scream, he almost fainted from the pain on the spot.

Yaya doesn't want to sleep, but there's nothing else to do without sleep.Going back a year, she could still share a bed with Long Xiang, but not now, she is seven years old, and knows the difference between men and women-no one specially taught her, but if she was asked to sleep with Long Xiang again, she would refuse desperately up.

Huang Ma led Yaya to sleep in the East Wing, and Chen Ma went back to the West Wing by herself.These two are the queen mothers in this yard. People here work from sunrise to sunset, and there are no cinemas or dance halls to go to after dark.Therefore, once the Empress Dowager returned to the palace, the rest of the maids, big and small, returned to their respective positions and withdrew.

For a while, only Long Xiang and Lu Sheng were left in the bedroom of the main room.Lu Sheng was not used to going to bed early, so he leaned against a big pillow and felt the darkness, half lying and half sitting.Long Xiang also refused to lie down under the quilt, squatting on the quilt and asked Lu Sheng: "You haven't finished talking about the foreign school, let's continue!"

Lu Sheng looked at Long Xiang in amazement, because Long Xiang was wearing nothing but a red bellyband.He is very white, his whole body is like jade, but his bellyband is embroidered with bright red lotus flowers and carp.Red and white match, in contrast, it is very eye-catching in the dark.Lu lived for 12 years, half of the time in the concession. Since he was six or seven years old, he went to a foreign school with a schoolbag in his arms. When he was at home, he took a bath once a day, changed his clothes every day, and had to wear teeth sooner or later. Brush, although he occasionally fights with his companions, he seems to be Western-style even when he is naughty.

He has been sleeping in pajamas since he could remember, so looking at Longxiang in front of him, he felt that the other party was a bit like a little savage.He said a few words absent-mindedly, and thought to himself: Aren't you shy with bare buttocks?

Long Xiang twisted his toes, and suddenly interrupted him, "Uniform? What is a uniform?"

Lu Sheng was a little impatient, "We have to wear the same clothes in school, it's called a uniform."

Long Xiang opened his eyes wide, the black eyeballs were too big, as if the whites of his eyes were about to disappear, "Like a soldier?"

Lu Sheng immediately sat up straight, "No, we are wearing western clothes! We wear long pants in winter and shorts and stockings in summer, and we have to change into sweatshirts during physical education class."

Long Xiang was probably cold, so he lifted the quilt and leaned against Lu Sheng, "What is a sweatshirt?"

Lu Sheng was stopped by his question, turned his face to look at Long Xiang, he opened his mouth, but felt that he didn't know where to start to say a thousand words.Turning over and rolling on the bed, he decided not to talk nonsense, "I'm tired, go to sleep."

He was tired, but Long Xiang was not.Climbing out of bed and riding on Lu Sheng, he raised his fist and thumped on Lu Sheng's shoulder, "Don't sleep! Talk to me!"

His hands were hard and his fists were firm, and the punch was accurate, and the punch just hit the seam of Lu Sheng's shoulder bone, causing Lu Sheng to cry out in pain.Lu Sheng was not one to be bullied, so he stood up and overthrew Long Xiang.In the dark, he randomly held Long Xiang down, vaguely feeling that the opponent's buttocks were just below him, so he raised his hand without making a sound, gritted his teeth and slapped it hard.Long Xiang was stunned for a moment, then he turned around with all his strength and wanted to yell for a beating, but just as he opened his mouth, Lu Sheng covered it.

"Coward!" Lu gasped angrily and whispered angrily, "If you can't beat me, call someone for help. You are so majestic when you beat Yaya, and when you are beaten by me, you cry father and mother, you are not a dragon, you are a worm. You have no bones meat worm!"

Immediately there was a hot and humid touch in the palm of his hand, it was Long Xiang who was furiously about to bite him.Because of repeated bites, the teeth clashed loudly.

Lu Sheng let go of his hands, and turned to hold his shoulders on both sides, "Don't look at me alone, I'm not afraid of you alone!"

Long Xiang was crushed to death by him with his back facing the sky, panting angrily and said: "I will ask my father to kick you out and let you beg for food!"

Lu Sheng didn't let go, his eyes were shining at night, "I won't beg for food, at worst I'll go back to Beijing to find my godfather. Do you think I'm willing to come to your house? If my godfather insisted on me coming, saying it's safe here, I don't care about your broken place!"

Long Xiang continued to pant, his thighs were hardened by the exposure, and his feet kicked back and forth on the bed unwillingly, "My father said, someone in Beijing is going to kill your whole family! You will die immediately when you return to Beijing!" "

"I'm not afraid of death, and besides, I don't know who will die first! If he doesn't kill me, I will kill him too!"

Long Xiang suddenly stretched his head upwards, and at the same time, Lu Sheng also turned his shoulders sideways like lightning to dodge.There was a crisp sound in the darkness, and it was Long Xiang who bit the air again, "You dare to hit me! My father didn't even dare to hit me, so hit me! I'll bite you to death!"

Lu Sheng hurriedly held him down, "Bit again, are you a dragon or a dog?"

"Of course I'm a dragon!"

"Dragon is not as nasty as you. If you can't beat it, you bite it, and if you can't bite it, you call for help."

Having said that, he let go of his hands and lifted his legs, and got off Long Xiang's body.Pulling off the quilt and laying aside, he turned his back to Long Xiang and said, "It's up to you to kill or cut, I don't bother to care about you."

Before the words were finished, Longxiang from behind had already risen with the wind, hitting and kicking him with both hands and feet, attacking him from the center of the big bed to the inside of the bed.Lu Sheng reluctantly ignored him - he didn't respond, and Long Xiang's stormy style of play couldn't last long, so within a short while, the bed was quiet again.

Long Xiang was sweating profusely all over his head and face, and after panting for a while, he was silent.Lu Sheng looked back quietly, and found that he was hugging his knees and curled up in a circle, lying on his side and falling into a deep sleep.

In the early morning of the second day, Huang Ma and her servants set up a round table in the living room and served a hot breakfast.Long Xiang changed into shiny green clothes, and knelt on the chair as before.Holding a round iron cylinder in his hand, he lowered his head and bit his fingers, his cheeks bulging, obviously chewing.

Lu Sheng thought he was holding a biscuit tube, so he didn't care, walked up to him and sat down.Unexpectedly, he suddenly raised his head to face Lu Sheng, and at the same time took out the fingers from his mouth.Lu Sheng was startled, because he saw that his fingers were black and sticky, and they turned out to be pinching half a piece of melted chocolate.After sending the chocolate to Lu Sheng's mouth, he raised his face slightly, opened his eyes and said, "Here, it's delicious."

Lusheng dodged back subconsciously, and at the same time waved his hands wildly, "I won't eat it, you can eat it yourself!"

Hearing this, Long Xiang immediately frowned his two thick and beautiful long eyebrows.The black eyes stared at Lu Sheng, he didn't speak, and he didn't withdraw his hand, he just stretched out his arms and remained motionless.When Huang Ma saw her, she hurried over and said to Lu Sheng, "Master Bai, he is treating you well! Eat, eat!"

While speaking, Huang Ma desperately winked at Lu Sheng.Lu Sheng looked at Huang Ma, then at the frozen dragon's face, and finally let his heart go, he opened his mouth to swallow the half piece of chocolate.

Chocolate is good chocolate, you can tell that it is a real imported product once you taste it, and if you don't know its origin, then it is indeed delicious.Chewing it three times and swallowing it, he smiled at Long Xiang, "It's too sweet, I don't like this."

Long Xiang's furrowed long eyebrows gradually unfolded, and he took out another piece of chocolate from the tube and stuffed it into his mouth.Without wiping his hands, he leaned over and grabbed a small square of sugar cake from the large plate in front of him.The composition of this sugar cake is unknown, but it must be his favorite food, because he sent the sugar cake in front of Lu Sheng without any explanation, and this time he didn't even wait, and directly stuffed the sugar cake into Lu Sheng's mouth .After chewing for a long time, Lu Sheng found that this thing was made of glutinous rice, which was sticky and sweet, and he couldn't chew it well no matter how hard he chewed it.If this was at his own home, he would have vomited it up long ago, but now it is not what it used to be, he does not eat it by force, and forces himself to swallow it.Peeking at Longxiang again, he found that there was a smile on Longxiang's Xiaobai face.Probably after eating his food, he is considered to be his person.

When he was eight or nine times full, Xiang Long opened his mouth and told him: "There are fish in the big water tank behind, I will take you to see the fish in a while."

Lu Sheng didn't know where the big water tank was, but he was willing to go for a walk, so he nodded immediately.Unexpectedly, as soon as he nodded his head, the sky outside the room changed.There was no thunder or lightning, but the wind was strong enough to make it impossible for people to go out.

So, after Long Xiang ate and drank enough, he led the way back to his bedroom out of boredom.

Long Xiang and Yaya sat on the bed facing each other, and they used a red silk ribbon to turn the flower rope.Lu Sheng watched silently for a while, but in the end he felt his eyelids heavy, and unconsciously lay down beside him and fell asleep.

He had a dream.

In the dream, he was at his home in the Tianjin Concession.That house was a small western-style building with the door open. He and Xiuling were rummaging through a stack of foreign pictorial magazines in the small living room downstairs, while Er Niang was sitting on the sofa next to her beautifully, letting a little old woman paint her nails. Kodan.His biological mother did not come early, and the female elders seemed to have only one second mother.He is not attached to Erniang, but he has always thought that Erniang is very good; Erniang is always kind and kind to him, treating him like a young master, and does not consider herself a mother.

The surroundings are very quiet, only the slight cool breeze and the faint sound of flipping books.He is neither hot nor cold, very comfortable; his clothes are neither too loose nor too tight, and fit him well.The phone rang in the distance, and the electric fan was humming. Xiuling sat on the cold wooden floor, with her feet stretched out at a slant. She was wearing white socks and red leather shoes. The socks were snow-white and the shoes were shiny.Erniang suddenly sent a message, saying that he would take them to the big stage to watch a play at night. He and Xiuling unanimously objected, because they couldn't understand, and would rather go to the park and eat ice cream in the afternoon.Erniang's voice was in a trance, and their voices were also in a trance, so they couldn't hear clearly.However, he feels at ease, because the air is cool and the environment is familiar, which is the world he has lived in for 12 years.

Then, out of nowhere, without warning, he opened his eyes.

He lay there without moving, only slowly rolling his eyes.There is no wooden floor, no electric fan, no Xiuling, and no Erniang.This is thousands of miles away, the two people sitting beside him have nothing to do with him, his world has completely ended.

He didn't want to cry, the tears rolled out by themselves.The teardrops formed a string and hit the pillow one drop after another.Yaya turned her head to look at him, immediately opened her eyes and let out a cry, and Long Xiang then turned her head back, stared at Lu Sheng for a while, then took off the red rope wrapped around her fingers, turned around and began to give Lu Sheng a hand. Wipe away tears.

He doesn't know how to wipe, two slaps can only wipe his head and face indiscriminately.Yaya climbed up on the bed and looked at him in a daze.Lu Sheng was embarrassed, but he couldn't hold back his tears.Turning over and burying his face in the pillow, he said in a choked voice, "I'm fine, I'm just homesick..."

Long Xiang raised his hand and scratched his hair, and replied heartlessly: "But, you have no home."

Lu Sheng rubbed his face against the pillow on his own, his heart, which he thought was already cold and hard, suddenly returned to soft and hot, so fragile that he couldn't even touch it, "I miss my dad, I want to show off Ling..." He grinned and cried out in a low voice, "I'm going to kill Man Shucai...I'm going to kill his whole family...I'm going home..."

Long Xiang stared blankly at Lu Sheng, as if shocked by Lu Sheng's crying; Yaya raised a hand, and patted Lu Sheng's back lightly.

"Don't cry." Suddenly, Long Xiang said, "When I grow up, I will take you home. My father has a lot of soldiers and money. When I grow up, those soldiers and money will be mine." , whoever you want to kill, I will send troops to kill whoever you want.”

Lu Sheng didn't speak, just choked up.He was ashamed to cry for no reason, but at the same time felt much happier.Both hands were stroking him together, one was stroking the back of his head, the other was stroking his spine, both were small hands, smaller than his.

Lifting his head and pulling the pillow towel to wipe his face, he took a deep breath and thought: This is the last time, and he will definitely not cry again in the future.

Because it is useless to cry to the sky, such small hands are powerless, unable to protect and comfort him.To protect and comfort, he is also the biggest one, to protect and comfort the two little ones.

Lu Sheng forbade Long Xiang to tell others that he had cried, and Long Xiang agreed without hesitation.Yaya, on the other hand, sat beside him without saying a word, and only looked at him from time to time, as if she was frightened in her heart, for fear that he would cry again.

The strong wind was still blowing outside, and they still couldn't go out to see the fish.Seeing Long Xiangbai sitting by the bed boredly, Lu Sheng raised a topic and asked, "Hey, why didn't you see your mother?"

Long Xiang looked back at him in surprise, "I don't have a mother."

Lu Sheng didn't understand, "Did she die?"

Long Xiang shook his head suspiciously, "I don't know, I don't have a mother."

Lu Sheng sat up straight, "Impossible, no mother, where did you come from? Someone must give birth to you, right?"

At this time, Yaya stretched out her index finger and thumb, gesticulating with a small pistol, "It's dead, snap!"

Long Xiangxiang nodded greatly as if he had been reminded, "Oh, by the way, let my father die!"

Lu Sheng was stunned for more than half a minute, almost suspecting that he had misheard, "Dead? Your father killed your mother? Why?"

Long Xiang and Yaya shook their heads together, "I don't know."

Before Lu Sheng could ask again, a voice suddenly sounded outside the window, "Master, are you asleep yet? Master is here to see you!"

The arrival of the guard of the dragon town caused a little chaos in the courtyard.Judging from the word "chaotic", it can be seen that Long Zhenshou is not a loving father, at least, he is by no means the only son who comes to visit him every day.

After a little chaos, Lu Sheng and Long Xiangquan changed places.The flat-headed and straight-faced Huang Ma called them into the main room. Lu Sheng stood upright in accordance with the etiquette and waited to say hello to the guardian envoy; while Long Xiang sat on a hardwood grand master chair facing the door. superior.The chair was very big, and when he sat on it, he looked very small. Not only was it more than enough for his little buttocks, but it also allowed him to lift his left leg sideways and step on the edge of the chair with his left foot in a grand manner.With his right elbow resting on the armrest of the chair and his left hand resting on his raised left knee, he tilted his head and looked out of the wide open door.Lu Sheng glanced at him, and saw that his white face was expressionless, not as if he was waiting for his father to come, but as if he was looking at a fresh cat and dog passing by.I'm not interested, I don't have much interest, I can watch it or not.

However, the guardian dragon came with every step.

The appearance of the guardian of the dragon today is very different from the image in Lu Sheng's memory.First, he cut his hair short, exposing his ears and neck, which made him look more masculine; second, he wore a full set of gray woolen military uniform, with neat military uniform, shiny riding boots, and even spurs.Lu Sheng looked at the guardian dragon protruding from the long hair and nightgown, and found that he had long arms and legs, and he walked step by step, almost elegant.

A pair of eyes were sunk tiredly in the shadow of the military cap, and the guardian dragon entered the door with confidence.The room was silent for a moment, Lu Sheng hesitated for a moment, then bowed respectfully, and said first, "Lu Sheng greets uncle."

Guardian Long stopped in his tracks and looked at Lu Sheng, he opened his mouth slightly, his mouth was dark, it wasn't toothless, but his teeth were covered with a layer of protective color.As if taken aback by Lu Sheng, he was obviously stunned for a few seconds, then nodded, "Oh, Lu Sheng, I remembered, it's Lu Sheng. Are you used to living these few days?"

Lu Sheng raised his head and chest, and replied loudly: "I'm used to living here, thank you uncle for your care."

Guardian Long stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, at the same time he muttered as if he had nothing to say, and then faced his son.He took a step closer, stood at attention and thought for a while, then took another step closer.

Huang Ma stood behind the chair, and then she smiled and said in a low voice: "Master, why are you ignoring me again?"

However, Long Xiang looked up at his father, as if feeling very dissatisfied, not only remained silent, but also frowned two dark eyebrows.The guardian dragon lowered his eyes, and slowly bent down with his knees supported. His posture seemed to be teasing a child, but his expression was tense and serious, more like he was here for trial.

"Recently..." He stammered a bit, and his speech was vague, as if he didn't dare to speak, "Is it okay?"

Long Xiang nodded, and let out a hum from his nose.

The envoy of Long Zhen raised his hand and scratched his temples with his little thumbnail, "That... the year is over, dad will find you a husband again?"

Long Xiang turned his head, "No! If you dare to come, you will be killed!"

The envoy of Long Zhen smiled, and when he smiled, he took a quick look at Long Xiang, "This time, I will find you a good-tempered person. Good-tempered and knowledgeable... sir... I will teach you, ah, how many people do you recognize?" Let Yaya stay with you, by the way, there is Lu Sheng, and now there is Lu Sheng. You three, sit in the room for a while in the morning and learn a few words. It will not be uncomfortable. It's not uncomfortable at all."

Lu Sheng stood aside, because he had never seen a father who struggled to speak in front of his son, so he couldn't help but laugh.After finishing the last word, Guardian Long nodded habitually, affirming himself, "Yes, it's not uncomfortable."

After the words fell, he only heard a crisp sound in his ears, and at the same time his head felt cold.It was his son who slapped his head and knocked his military cap away.

"No!" Long glared at his father, "Sir, you are a bastard! Don't let me talk, don't let me move, I'm suffocating! I won't study, I won't know how to read!"

A big girl picked up the military cap from the ground, and put it in front of the guardian Long with both hands.It seems that Long Zhenshou owed a huge debt to his son in the previous life, and he still can't hold his head up even if he becomes a father in this life.He took over the military cap and put it on his head. He had no temper and just smiled apologetically.After laughing for about a minute or two, he saw that his son was angry and ignored him, so he said goodbye and left.

As soon as the guardian dragon left, Xiang Long jumped off the chair, ran to the door and looked outside as if nothing had happened, and shouted loudly: "Mother Huang, the wind has stopped, I want to go out to see the fish!" She turned her head and waved to Lu Sheng, "Come on, call Yaya."

After a while, the three children were dressed and led out of the yard one by one.Lu Sheng still didn't understand the layout of the Long Zhai, and just followed Long Xiang back in a daze.When he was far away from the courtyard, Lu Sheng pulled Long Xiang's hand and couldn't help asking: "Why are you so fierce to your father?"

Long Xiang replied, "I'm too lazy to talk to him."

Lu Sheng asked again: "Has your family invited you a teacher? Now you don't like to read old books anymore. Who still reads the Four Books and Five Classics?"

Long Xiang took the lead and walked in the front, shaking his head without looking back, "It doesn't matter what he reads, I don't read it anyway."

Yaya followed them closely and said pantingly: "The gentleman from last year made the young master run away in anger. He told the young master to sit and not move, and the young master moved; he asked the young master to recite the book, but the young master did not recite."

As soon as this remark came out, Long Xiang's voice suddenly rose, and he said angrily in a high-pitched voice: "I'm carrying a fart!"

Lu Sheng was holding the two people in the middle. Hearing this voice, he was startled and at the same time felt Yaya's little hand trembling.Subconsciously, he put his arms around Long Xiang's shoulders. He turned his face to look at Long Xiang, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "How can you lose your temper? Yaya will be frightened by you."

Long Xiang took a quick step, turned around, and walked backwards facing Lu Sheng.Before speaking, he waved his hand aggressively, "Stinky girl, if you get scared, you get scared, what's the big deal? Besides, she's from my family, so you don't care if she's bad or not?"

After saying this, he was about to slap Yaya.Yaya didn't make a sound, but grabbed Lusheng's clothes to hide.Although Lu Sheng has only been in Long's house for a few days, with his natural intelligence, he has also figured out some ways to tame the dragon.With one hand behind him, he covered Yaya behind him, and with the other hand, he hugged Longxiang. Like a big spinning top, he pulled Longxiang's shoulders to make him turn around and walk forward with him, "Where are there fish? Are you lying? The wind is so cold, you lied to me to come out with you, if there is no fish, I can't forgive you, and it's useless to plead."

As he wished, Long Xiang's attention was diverted, "I'm lying to you, I'm a puppy! You ask Yaya, is there any fish in my house!"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had calmed Long Xiang down this time.

In a small deserted garden in the Long Mansion, Lu Sheng saw a few fish as expected.

This fish is a half-sized fish that is dark and not slippery, swimming in a big broken tank happily, it seems that it is not even qualified to be eaten, but it is already the pet of Longxiang and Yaya.The members of the Long family obviously believed that Long Xiang was really the son of a dragon and was in danger of being envied by the heavens, so they refused to let even a kitten or dog in the yard, for fear that their minions would hurt the young master.

"It's nothing to look at." Lu Sheng told them truthfully, "My second mother kept a big tank of goldfish, some were red and some were white, with such a long tail and two big bulging eyes, that's what it looks like. .When I have a chance in the future, I will buy it for you.”

After hearing this, Long Xiang and Yaya put their hands on the rim of the jar and looked up at him.Both looked a little dazed, like very immature children, silly and anxious.In Lu Sheng's eyes, at this moment, they were suddenly extremely pitiful and cute, and they all became Xiuling together.

A sour hot air rushed into Lu Sheng's eyes, he first pulled Ya Ya over, and then Long Xiang.He opened his mouth and let out a breath. He didn't know where to start for a while, so he simply smiled at the two of them, "Hey, I'll be your husband. I know a lot of words, I can understand all newspapers, and I can read them all." Writing a letter!"

Lu Sheng kept his word and led Long Xiang and Yaya back to the courtyard where they lived.He didn't have the confidence to speak up, so he sent Long Xiang to ask Huang Ma for pens and ink.Huang Ma moved her two little feet to the main room in a hurry, and at the same time told Long Xiang: "My dear young master, you are only allowed to draw on this paper, but you can't wipe the ink on the wall. !"

Ten-year-old Long Xiang, like all half-grown boys, dismisses the nagging of his elders.Seeing him ignoring her, Huang Ma told Yaya again: "Look at the young master, don't let him mess around, do you hear me?"

Yaya stood in front of the square table, as long as she was not beaten or scolded, she would always grin and bark her teeth, "It's not painting, it's writing. Big brother has been educated, so he wants to teach young master how to write."

Huang Ma glanced at Lu Sheng in surprise, but there was a smile on her face, "Yo, that's a good thing."

Taking a step towards Long Xiang, Huang Ma obviously wanted to tell the young master a few more words.However, the young master is an ass-tempered kind, before she could speak, he got impatient, "Go, I won't listen to you!"

After hearing this, Huang Ma had no objection, and immediately retreated obediently, and prepared all the tea and snacks before leaving.And Lu Sheng pulled up the chairs and arranged them, and asked Long Xiang and Yaya to sit around the square table.

Standing alone at a corner of a table, Lu Sheng stood in front of the two of them, lowered his head and asked, "Long Xiang, what characters do you know? If you know it, I won't teach it."

Long Xiang put his chin in one hand, tilted his head and smiled at him, "I can only write my name." As he spoke, he stretched out his fingers to dip the water in the tea bowl, and began to write on the table: --Mutually--

Before he finished writing the last stroke, Lu Sheng had already held his hand, "No need to write, I know you will. Where's Yaya?"

Yaya was stunned for a moment, never expecting that she could be considered one of the big brother's students.Straightening her back as if frightened, she solemnly shook her head like a rattle.So Lu Sheng pointed at her, put on the air of a university president, and said, "Now is the age of civilization, which is different from the past. Women also need to be educated, and they can be employed as officials after being educated." Here, he glanced at the two students.Long Xiang was blinking at him, while Yaya opened her mouth.All in all, both of them were dumbfounded.

Lu Sheng was a little proud, and continued: "Yaya doesn't even have a scientific name. Could it be that she will still be called Yaya when she grows up? Let me give you a name!" He touched his chin and made a gesture of contemplation , while involuntarily
