When He Yan was talking to Chu Zilan, he did not notice that Xiao Jue and Lin Shuanghe were standing behind a tree not far away.
Lin Shuanghe looked at it and wondered, "It looks like Sister He actually knows Chu Zilan? Then why did she say she didn't know when I asked her yesterday?"
"Have you asked her?"
"Yeah, I also asked her, if you and Chu Zilan had a conflict, which side would she be on?" Lin Shuanghe shook his fan and smiled, "Want to know how she answered?"
Xiao Jue: "I don't want to."
"Why are you like this?" Lin Shuanghe said, "Let me tell you, Sister He said without thinking that she doesn't know Chu Zilan, so of course she is on your side. But," he glanced at the conversation in the distance The two of them said, "She just knew her, why did she say she didn't know her?"
Xiao Jue sneered: "Why do you believe what a liar says?"
"Liar?" Lin Shuanghe looked at Xiao Jue, "What did she lie to you? Could it be," he thought of something and exclaimed in a low voice, "She and Chu Zilan are in the same group? Are they also from Xu Jingfu?"
Xiao Jue was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Just as he was talking, the glamorous maid named Ying Xiang turned his head, just happened to see them, and immediately called out from a distance, "Captain Xiao, Young Master Lin."
This time, there was nowhere to hide even if he wanted to, Lin Shuanghe stood up and nodded reservedly, "Fourth Young Master Chu, Brother He."
He Yan asked, "Are you also coming out to bask in the sun?"
"Come out and walk freely." Lin Shuanghe held the fan, turned his eyes on He Yan and Chu Zhao, and asked tentatively, "Brother He and the fourth son of Chu have known each other before?"
He Yan said: "It's just a one-sided relationship. I met him in Liangzhou Wei and found out that he was the fourth son of Chu, and I was also surprised."
"What's the one-sided relationship? Let's hear it?" Lin Shuanghe insisted.
Chu Zhao stood there with a smile, and did not intend to take the initiative to explain. Xiao Jue's eyes were also calm, but it made He Yan feel a little cold, but Song Taotao was curious and asked, "That's right, how did you meet?"
"That," He Yan had to bite the bullet and explained, "When I was in Shuojing before, I went to Letong Zhuang to gamble at night, won a lot of money, was chased and beaten, and accidentally met the fourth son of Chu. The son picked up the silver taels I left behind and gave it back to me. I didn't know his identity at the time, so I hurriedly thanked him and left."
"Letong Village?" Song Taotao was shocked, "Big Brother He, are you gambling?"
"Didn't you say that your father is very strict with you, and you don't walk outside the door?" Lin Shuanghe couldn't help but ask.
He Yan raised her head and met Xiao Jue's half-smiling expression, her scalp felt numb, she took a step back and said, "I was forced by life back then... I went there once! I've never been there again!"
Both Lin Shuanghe and Xiao Jue knew that she was a woman, and it was a bit shocking for a woman to gamble alone at night. And gambling money is always not a good thing, but to say it in front of this group of big people is really embarrassing.
"I didn't expect Brother He to come to Liangzhouwei later," Chu Zhao said with a smile, "It's considered that you and I are destined. When Brother Ye He dealt with those thugs, I still remember the great skills."
"Are you very good?" Lin Shuanghe asked He Yan.
He Yan smiled perfunctorily: "It's just a fluke."
"Tonight's celebration banquet, I must drink two more cups with Brother He." Chu Zhao said: "It's not worth the fate."
He Yan: "Thank you... Thank you Fourth Young Master Chu."
She thought to herself that this Chu Zhao was too approachable. As the son of Shi Jinbo, and now Xu Jingfu's proud student, it is rare to say that he can be so patient and gentle with ordinary recruits like her. Not to mention whether he is good or bad, just looking at being a man, there is really nothing to say.
"Yingxiang," Chu Zhao glanced at Song Taotao and smiled, "Just give this little girl the golden cake rolls, I can't use them."
Song Taotao was flattered: "Give it, give it to me?"
"Yeah," he said warmly, "if you like it, you can ask the cook to make it for you every day."
"But Young Master," Ying Xiang said hesitantly, "that's the cook who was specially brought for you."
"I'm not particular about eating," Chu Zhao said, "I don't have to do this every day."
"Then..." Song Taotao hesitated for a while, then looked at him: "Thank you, Fourth Young Master Chu."
"You're welcome."
He Yan looked at it, and felt that what Lin Shuanghe said yesterday was the number one woman in the dream of a Dawei woman, no wonder Chu Zilan came after. When she grows up like this, she is so gentle and considerate when it comes to women, I think it is a type that will be liked by both young and old.
Yingxiang handed the plate containing the golden cake rolls to Song Taotao, Chu Zhao looked at Xiao Jue: "Where is Dudu Xiao going?"
"The martial arts field." Xiao Jue raised the corner of his mouth, "The fourth son of Chu also wants to go together?"
"I don't have to go." Chu Zhao smiled and said, "Just go back to the house and read the book for a while."
Lin Shuanghe bowed his hands to Chu Zhao: "I'll see you at night then." He looked at He Yan again: "What is Brother He doing?"
"Me?" He Yan didn't dare to stay with Chu Zhao for a long time. This man is still Xu Jingfu's student. Who knows whether he is an enemy or a friend, so he said, "The weather is good today, I plan to take advantage of the sun to walk around in the yard more. , recover."
"That's fine." Lin Shuanghe instructed, "Just don't make too many movements."
He Yan nodded.
Several people separated.
Because Chu Zhao also lived nearby, He Yan didn't dare to go out easily, even though she really wanted to ask Chu Zhao about Shuojing. But looking at the atmosphere between Xiao Jue and Chu Zhao, at least now is not a good time to ask questions.
She went to the yard, tried to throw away the stick and walked around for a while, and stopped when she felt a little tired. After that, I went back to my room to sleep and read the script. In a blink of an eye, it was evening.
Cheng Lisu knocked on the door early: "Big brother!"
He Yan went to open the door for him.
Cheng Lisu changed into a new robe of amber and platinum, still embroidered with a group of black-tailed koi at the corners of the robe, with high spirits, grabbing He Yan's hand: "I was afraid that you were sleeping, so you didn't dare to come early, look at me. Does the new robe look good?"
He Yan: "Can I ask you a question?"
"what?"
"Why do you have to embroider koi on every piece of clothing?"
When she was in Liangzhou City before, every robe that Cheng Lisu gave her had carp embroidered on the corners of the robe. He Yan wanted to ask him for a long time, could it have any special meaning
"You don't know that," Cheng Lisu turned his back, "Speaking of which, my father fell in love with my mother at first sight, but my mother's family had already liked other people for her. I also thought my father was better than my mother. When I was two years younger, my father bought the cook in the house and sent the carp to the small kitchen where my mother cooked. When the cook was killing the carp, he saw the letter in it. My mother was moved by the letter, and later So I moved my grandmother to marry my father."
Cheng Lisu could not remember poetry and prose on weekdays, but now he remembered it in his heart, and talked eloquently: "The guest came from afar and left me with a pair of carp; Kneeling down and reading a plain book, what's the book like? The first said Sauvignon Blanc, the next said to add a meal." He proudly said: "My name comes from this."
He Yan was stunned: "It's so interesting?"
"That's right." Cheng Lisu turned around and showed He Yan the carp embroidery on his body, "The hairpins on my clothes were mostly in the shape of carp. After all, carp is my parents' matchmaker. Wearing it means wearing it. My parents love me!"
At this moment, He Yan really envied Cheng Lisu, she said, "Your parents are so nice."
"That's natural." Cheng Lisu said, looking at He Yan, "Brother, don't you wear something else for the celebration tonight?"
He Yan looked down at himself: "What's wrong with me wearing it like this? Don't everyone wear it like this?"
She was still wearing the uniform uniform of the Liangzhou Guard recruits, and today she deliberately wore a festive red dress.
"But you are the great hero who defeated Zida Muzi, so it's pretty unremarkable to wear it like this."
"I didn't have any other clothes," He Yan said, "That's good, let's go, the instructor may not be able to wait."
Cheng Lisu shrugged, but did not force, he closed the door for her, and the two walked to the wilderness under Baiyue Mountain together.
Today is a celebration feast to celebrate the new soldiers of Liangzhou Guard who annihilated the rebels of Ridamuzi here. There is no snow tonight, but it is colder than before. There was a bonfire burning in the wilderness, and the recruits were sitting on the ground, drinking and eating meat.
Although drinking and eating meat, compared to the Mid-Autumn Festival a few days ago, it seemed much more depressed. After all, the comrade who died just now, the lingering fear of the war has not yet passed. Celebrating the achievement... It is a bit reluctant.
The rewards have been distributed to all the coaches, Xiao Jue is very generous, all the trophies are distributed to the soldiers, and the rewards sent by His Majesty are not reserved for himself. When Cheng Lisu arrived in the wilderness, she went to find Xiao Jue, while He Yan went straight to the other side of Hongshan. She didn't go to the martial arts field these days, and she met them much less often.
Seeing him, Mai shouted, "Brother Ahe, you are here!"
He Yan sat down beside him.
"How's it going?" Hong Shan handed her a piece of roasted rabbit meat. "Are you feeling better? I think you're not leaning on a stick now? Can you go?"
He Yan took the rabbit meat, which was grilled and squeaked and oily. In winter, the beasts were hibernating, and rabbits were hard to catch. Just smelling it made them greedy. She took a bite and said while chewing, "It's not bad. , in another two months, I will be able to fight alongside you again."
"You can pull you down," Wang Ba said in disgust, "Isn't it always you alone in the limelight? I heard that the reward above is divided into 12 taels of silver alone." He was extremely jealous, "You make a fortune. It's gone!"
"Brother He almost lost his life, what is 10 taels of silver, and he should have more." Jiang Jiao said, "I just thought that Brother He would go up a liter this time, but I didn't expect it."
He Yan didn't get angry when he talked about this matter. It stands to reason that she made a contribution and helped Liangzhou Wei. No matter what, she should not be a soldier. Even if you don't go up, you should go to the Nine Banners Camp. Even if you don't go to the Nine Banners Camp, you should go to the Qianfeng Camp, but now, the rewards are more than ordinary recruits, but promotion? Not a single shadow was seen.
Being a soldier under Xiao Jue is so difficult to get promoted
"Don't talk about it, and brother He is going to be sulking again." Huang Xiong saw the unhappiness in her heart and said: "You have convinced everyone in Liangzhou Wei now, even if it is not now, sooner or later, you will be promoted. Don't be in a hurry."
He Yan said with conscience: "I'm not in a hurry."
It's just that he tossed and turned on the collapse at night, wishing to rush into the next room to grab Xiao Jue and ask why.
Although the celebration banquet was a celebration banquet, but Xiao Jue was not there, and the rewards had been distributed to everyone in advance, so tonight was just a gathering of recruits sitting together. The men of Liangzhouwei were next to Baiyue Mountain, and the men of Nanfu Bing were relying on the Wulu River, but the well water did not invade the river.
Shitou poured He Yan a bowl of wine and said, "Drink it."
He Yan stared at the wine in the bowl, "I'm injured now, so I can't drink so much."
"That's right, I almost forgot," Hong Shan took the wine bowl away, "Then stop drinking, just drink water."
He Yan said, "Okay."
After sitting for a while, she heard someone call her from behind: "Brother He."
He Yan looked back and was stunned, it was Chu Zhao.
Beside Chu Zhao, Yingxiang, the maid who was as beautiful as a goddess, was also followed. There are few such beautiful women in Liangzhou Wei. For a time, Hongshan and several people were stunned. Wang Ba whispered: "This kid, why is it so beautiful every time."
He thought he spoke very quietly, but in fact everyone present heard it. Yingxiang couldn't help laughing, and Chu Zhao also smiled and said, "I told Brother He before that I must have a drink with you today."
Yingxiang said: "Before our son came, we brought Chang'an Chun with him. Please drink with Master He."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Ba swallowed loudly.
He Yan: "..." She was still a little embarrassed. If she knew that she and Chu Zhao had been drinking, would Xiao Jue think that she and Chu Zhao were in the same group
It was really snow in June.
Seemingly seeing her embarrassment, Chu Zhao smiled and said, "It's just a cup. If Brother He is inconvenient, that's all."
He Yan has never eaten soft or hard. Seeing such an immortal son who has a gentle appointment and knows how to move forward and retreat, he feels a little apologetic in his heart. She is not a big person, and she has to be invited by others, that is, a glass of wine, as a favor for that silver coin.
He Yan then said, "It's just a glass of wine, there's nothing inconvenient."
"Then ask Young Master He to come with your maid." Ying Xiang turned around with a smile.
He Yan thought that the drinking that Chu Zhao was talking about was in the wilderness where the recruits were, but who knew that she was brought to the house where Chu Zhao lived. I don't know if Xiao Jue is avenging his personal revenge or not. The house where Chu Zhao lives is not really gorgeous, and it is not even better than the house where Cheng Lisu lives, and it is better than the general storehouse of the recruits. But the yard is quite big. On the stone bench in the yard, there is a pot of wine and some dried fruit snacks.
"I don't know what Young Master He likes to eat, so I prepared some side dishes at will." Yingxiang said ashamedly: "If it doesn't match the taste, I would ask Young Master He to take more care."
"You're welcome, it's already very good." He Yan was flattered. She was a recruit in Liangzhou Wei, and it was the first time she was treated as a person with status. However, He Yan was also secretly wondering, why did Chu Zhao treat her so well? A recruit can't be so polite.
She was thinking that Ying Xiang had already picked up the white jade jug on the table, poured two jade cups into it, and said with a smile, "I heard from Young Master Lin earlier that Young Master He is injured, and it is inconvenient to drink. It's not too warm and sweet in the mouth, so Young Master He should drink a little, it shouldn't be in the way."
He Yan smiled and said, "It's still Miss Yingxiang who thinks well."
Yingxiang pursed her lips and smiled, put the wine jug away, and retreated behind Chu Zhao.
"The last time I saw Brother He in Shuojing, I was in a hurry and didn't take a good time." Chu Zhao said with a smile, "Since we met in Liangzhou, it shows that you and I are very close, so we should toast." He said. He picked up the wine cup and slammed at He Yan in the air.
He Yan understood and raised the wine cup, thinking that last time on the Mid-Autumn Festival night, he got drunk and had a fight with Xiao Jue and broke his violin. He must not repeat the same mistakes tonight. However, this wine is not a strong drink, it won't be as high as the last time, and if you only drink a little, you should be fine.
When she looked up, all the wine in the wine cup was poured down her throat.
He Yan was stunned.
Chu Zhao was also stunned.
After a long while, Chu Zhao smiled and said, "Brother He is really bold."
He Yan: "..."
It has become a habit to drink a sip of stuffy, and I want to drink small sips in my heart, but the movements of my hands are subconscious reactions. When I came back to my senses, my intestines were full of regrets, and I wanted to scold myself: Why can't I control this hand
But... He Yan praised: "What a fragrant wine!"
Ying Xiang laughed: "Chang'an Spring is not something you can drink every day. In the Chu residence, the only pot left this year is here."
"Is it so precious?" He Yan was shocked and pushed the wine cup back. I dare not drink any more.
"Although wine is precious, it can't compare to you, Brother He." Chu Zhao smiled, stretched out his hand to hold the wine jug, and filled He Yan's empty wine cup: "Chang'an Spring is gone, you can buy Eighteen Immortals, With like-minded friends gone, it’s not as easy to find.”
He Yan: "..."
She said, "Brother Chu, do you know that you are the number one woman in Dawei's dream."
Chu Zhao was stunned.
"I think now, maybe I can add a man." He is also so gentle and generous to men, and it is very dangerous for any man to stay with him.
The yard was silent.
After a while, Chu Zhao laughed happily, he shook his head and said, "Brother He, you are really interesting."
"I'm telling the truth." He Yan was sincere.
"Then Brother He has won the prize." He waved his hand, "I don't dare to be the first."
Chang'an Chun smelled clear, not as strong as Eighteen Immortals, but the wine was not too strong. He Yan felt a little fluttering. Before meeting this person, the smile was soft and clear, so he held up the wine cup and said to him: "Brother Chu, be I'll give you a toast!"
Another drink.
…
On the other end, Lin Shuanghe was looking for He Yan people everywhere.
"Have you seen He Yan?" he asked.
The barbecue on this end was exhausted, and Mai was going to the nearby fire to steal two. Hearing this, he turned his head and said, "Are you looking for Brother Ahe? Brother Ahe was taken away by the fourth son of Chu from the capital just now."
"Chu Zhao?" Lin Shuanghe asked curiously, "Why did he take Brother He away?"
"Drink a bar," Mai scratched his head: "Say, please Ahe Ge to taste Chang'an Spring."
When Lin Shuanghe got the news, he hurried back non-stop, and returned to Xiao Jue's house. The door was not closed, and he pushed it open.
Xiao Jue was sitting at the table wiping his sword.
Yinqiu is not an ordinary sword. It needs to be cleaned and wiped every day to ensure that the body of the sword is crystal clear. Lin Shuanghe said, "Do you know where He Yan went?"
Xiao Jue ignored him.
"I was taken to drink by Chu Zhao!"
Xiao Jue raised his eyes: "So?"
"Aren't you in a hurry, big brother?" Lin Shuanghe slapped the fan on his table, "That's Chu Zhao!"
"Get out of the way," Xiao Jue said unhappily, "Block the light."
Lin Shuanghe turned away, "Stop rubbing. Yu Gong, Chu Zhao belongs to Xu Jingfu. If he intends to recruit He Yan to join their camp, what would you do? I heard that He Yan's strength is one of the best in Liangzhou Wei. It's very troublesome for such a talent to fall into Xu Jingfu's hands!"
Seeing that Xiao Jue's expression did not change, he turned to the other side again: "Yu Si, how could you let your girl go drinking with other men!"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Jue's movements stopped. He raised his head and glanced at Lin Shuanghe lightly: "Who told you that she is mine?"
"Don't come," Lin Shuanghe said in disbelief, "It's not yours, you can let her live next to you, with a door in the middle, and let the girl use the lock. Play? Are you interested?"
Xiao Jue: "... If you're okay, get out and don't bother me."
"Xiao Huaijin, you are so fierce, you are not Chu Zilan's opponent."
As he was talking, he heard a rustling sound from the middle door of the house, as if a rat was shuttled among the clutter. The two looked up and saw the "one"-shaped keyhole on the door protruding out. A silver wire, the silver wire was twisted and spared, and the lock cylinder was accurately pushed in.
With a click, the lock fell to the ground and the door opened.
Lin Shuanghe clasped his palms: "Good skills!" He glanced at Xiao Jue again: "And said she's not yours!"
Xiao Jue was speechless for a moment, then stood up.
He Yan walked over from the door.
She walked slowly and steadily. When she saw Lin Shuanghe, she even said hello to Lin Shuanghe, "Brother Lin."
Lin Shuanghe: "...why don't you call me Doctor Lin?"
He Yan, as if he didn't see him, walked over to Xiao Jue.
Xiao Jue looked down and landed on He Yan.
The young man was wearing the uniform red uniform of the Liangzhou Guard recruits, well-behaved, and his hair was not messed up at all, and bowed respectfully towards him.
This time, Lin Shuanghe and Xiao Jue were stunned together.
The window was not closed, and the wind from outside the window blew in, causing the scrolls on the table to flip slightly, bringing a burst of coolness, and also bringing the faint aroma of wine, which is faint, not real, sweet and sweet. The smell is like a spring day in Chang'an City, full of beauty.
It was her gaze that was even more gleaming than Haruhi's.
Xiao Jue was startled in her heart, she just felt that this situation seemed familiar. When I vaguely remembered the Mid-Autumn Festival night, it seemed that some people looked at me with this kind of eyes.
"Have you been drinking?" While speaking, he subconsciously pushed Wan Xiangqin in.
After the person was drunk, just by looking at his face, he couldn't tell whether he was sober or not. But what she did was just astonishing.
Lin Shuanghe smiled and held up the tea, planning to take a sip and watch the play.
He Yan raised his head and showed a big smile at Xiao Jue.
"I'll recite The Way of the University, Dad."
Lin Shuanghe took a sip of tea.

Congratulations to the Governor for being a father.
