"cluck cluck"
Xiao Yu, who was attracted by the objects on this table, didn't care about other people's eyes at all, and smiled contentedly.
After looking around for half a circle, the little guy grabbed the gold-plated tortoise button with one hand.
Seeing this, King Zhennan was overjoyed, his eyes almost straightened, and he thought to himself: Jinsun really has vision!
Who would have thought that Xiao Yu would grab an ancient book that was placed next to the tortoise button.
Immediately, a middle-aged lady jokingly said auspicious words: "The little grandson has caught the book, and he must be a poet-reader in the future!"
Xiao Fei stared at the ancient book in the little guy's hand, immediately beamed with joy, and said in her heart: Brother Yu really hit it off with her, and immediately picked the object she prepared for him.
But in the next moment, the little guy looked at the ancient book and put it down casually, and picked up a small and exquisite jade bow.
Tang Qinghong smiled and said to Zhennan Wang: "My lord, my grandson will be as brave and good at fighting as my lord in the future."
The other soldiers also echoed repeatedly, and the hall burst into resounding laughter.
King Zhennan was about to pick up Jinsun and praise him, but the little guy dropped the jade bow in boredom.
As a result, the laughter of the guests in the hall stopped awkwardly.
Old Mrs. Fang and Lin Jingchen on the side exchanged a funny look. They often play with their great-grandson on weekdays, and they know a little about this little guy's temperament. Little Xiao Yu has always been a playful little doll with a lot of curiosity. , I see almost anything new and interesting on weekdays, so I have to go over to have a look and play with it.
This time is no exception.
Next, watch the little Routuan in the red jacket play with all the wine orders, green onions, jade rulers, ingots, jade flutes, etc., and throw them aside after playing, so that the hearts of the guests follow the little guy His every move was up and down, and he held his breath nervously from time to time.
Nangong Yue looked at Ninja and couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips. She didn't really care what the little guy caught, and catching Zhou was just a festive ceremony.
The most important thing is that her little baby is one year old!
Looking at the cute little Xiao Yu, Nangong Yue's heart was filled with honey, her eyes were unbelievably soft, as if thousands of stars were reflected in her eyes.
Suddenly, a familiar eagle cry came, and a vigorous gray eagle flew into the hall with "swipe" wings, flew over the heads of everyone, and dropped a black cloud on the desk below. Hairball.
Xiao Hui fluttered her wings slightly, and cast a disgusted look at Xiao Yu, as if to say, why did you come here? ! Make it easy to find for a while!
Then, it spread its wings and flew out of the window at the other end.
"Quack!" A little crow, not much bigger than a sparrow, landed on the desk dazedly. Under the gaze of dozens of eyes, its fluffy body trembled slightly.
Seeing this, Yuan Yuyi, Jiang Yixi and Han Qixia's hearts all rose.
Oops!
They also know that Xiao Hui brings birds to Xiao Yu every day for the past few days, and the little guy likes the gift Xiao Hui gave him the most.
As if to verify their worries, Xiao Xiaoyu threw away the general helmet in his hand without hesitation, clapped his hands with a smile, and yelled "quack" excitedly, and couldn't wait to look at the poor little dog. The little crow stretched out its little claws.
The surrounding atmosphere changed accordingly.
If Xiao Shisun caught a crow while catching Zhou, what kind of omen would that be? !
The guests couldn't help but think that everyone's expression was a little subtle.
And Zhennan Wang's entire face turned dark, so gloomy that he almost dripped ink, he said in his heart: This Nizi won't be reconciled if he doesn't do something, isn't he! Brother Yu's birthday party is fine if he is not there, and his eagle is here to make trouble! How could his precious golden grandson have such an unreliable father!
Seeing that the little guy's chubby hand was about to catch the little crow, there was a sound of messy footsteps outside the hall, mixed with the servant's panting shout:
"My lord! My lord, the prince is back!"
At the same time as the words fell, King Zhennan's face became even uglier.
This rebel knows how to come back!
Zhennan Wang gritted his teeth and thought, the anger in his heart rose up slowly, like a crimson magma surging, becoming more and more intense, it seemed that it would erupt like a volcano in the next moment.
The atmosphere in the hall changed again, and all the guests looked at each other in blank dismay.
The son of the world has been away from southern Xinjiang for several months, right? ! I couldn't even make it back during the Chinese New Year, but now I'm finally back!
Everyone was full of surprise and uncertainty, and followed the sound and looked out of the hall with aspirations.
Seeing that the guests were all distracted, Haitang acted swiftly and quickly took the opportunity to grab the little crow on the desk and hid it in her sleeve. Everything happened with the snap of her fingers.
Xiao Xiaoyu grasped the air with one hand, was dumbfounded, blinked slowly, then looked at his mother aggrieved, and wanted to complain, but found that his mother was not looking at him at all.
Not only the mother, but everyone in the hall looked out of the hall.
What's there to see outside? The forgetful little guy immediately forgot about the little crow, tilted his head curiously, and stretched his neck to look out.
There was a sound of flapping wings from behind.
The gray eagle soared into the sky again. This time, it didn't enter the main hall, and flew over the Xingsu Building while singing. Then, another eagle's cry sounded, and a smaller white eagle came from the other side. Flying in one direction, the two eagles circled each other in mid-air as if saying hello
But the people in the main hall were not looking at them. Their eyes were all focused on the right below the double eagles. Two slender young men walked towards this side with strides. They were Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai.
The two of them seemed to be busy and dressed very casually. Xiao Yi was wearing an indigo blue robe, Guan Yubai was wearing an ai green cloak, and they came side by side. Lang Lang was like a moon, and everyone couldn't move their eyes away, and greeted the two people as they got closer.
The same is true for Nangong Yue, she watched Xiao Yi walk towards her step by step without blinking, looked at his bright smile without blinking, her eyes were sour, as if she saw the boy she met for the first time in the past , the purple clothes are like clouds, and the glory is better than brocade.
Xiao Yi was also looking at her naturally, his face was radiant even though he was exhausted from the journey, and she seemed to be the only one in the pair of bright eyes under the sun.
The corners of Nangong Yue's mouth curled up involuntarily, the word "Ayi" was already on her lips and she was about to blurt out, when she felt her waist tighten.
She turned her head subconsciously, only to see Xiao Xiaoyu crawling up to her side at some point, holding her dress with one hand, and leaning on the desk with the other, looking up at her pitifully.
"mother"
For a moment, Nangong Yue felt a little guilty when she saw the little guy's big wet eyes
Xiao Xiaoyu's soft call was like pouring a bucket of cold water on Zhennan Wang's furious heart, calming Zhennan Wang who was so angry at once, now it's not a good time to settle accounts with this rebellious son Timing, the most important thing today is his precious grandson!
You can't ruin your grandson's big day for this unfilial and unkind naughty son!
Zhennan Wang took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said forcefully: "Ayi, you are back! It just so happens that Brother Yu is catching Zhou!" As he said, he looked at Xiao Xiaoyu, and his eyes were the most important. A little softer.
There was a silence all around, and the guests were dumbfounded.
They all saw Zhennan Wang being furious just now. They thought that the palace would usher in another father-son battle as in the past, and then today's Catch the Zhou Ceremony would break up unhappy, but they didn't expect Zhennan Wang to endure it.
Tang Qinghong, who was next to King Zhennan, had already left in shock. As early as the ninth day of the first lunar month, when he received the invitation for the grandson's first birthday from King Zhennan, Tang Qinghong had already figured it out: this is different from the past. !
"Father." Xiao Yi casually cupped his fists at King Zhennan, as if he had seen the ceremony.
Then, his smiling eyes fell on the little meat ball, and the little guy was still tightly clutching his mother's bib with one hand.
I haven't seen him for four months. He and Ah Yue's stinky boy have grown up a lot. Those peach blossom eyes that are very similar to him look at him suspiciously, as if they are saying, who are you
Xiao Yi's eyes were shining brightly, he strode forward, leaned over and rubbed the top of Xiaoroutuan wearing a tiger hat, then blinked at Nangong Yue with a smile, and said with a meaningful smile: "Finally Catch up!" As he spoke, he untied a scimitar inlaid with multicolored gemstones from his waist and placed it beside the little guy.
This scimitar was naturally given by Xiao Yi to the little guy to catch Zhou.
At this time, Guan Yubai, who was following Xiao Yi, walked into the main hall unhurriedly, ignoring everyone's suspicious and speculative eyes, Guan Yubai was still calm and calm as always, like a wild crane in the clouds.
He took out a booklet with a blue cover and placed it next to the machete.
The scimitar is dazzling, but the book is simple and unpretentious.
Putting the two together is extremely abrupt, yet reveals a strange harmony.
Xiao Yi stretched out his fingers and flicked the little guy's eyebrows lightly, his smile deepened, and he smiled at the little guy: "Stinky boy, this is a handwritten gift from your adoptive father, do you like it?"
The little guy didn't know if he understood. His big black grape-like eyes stared back and forth between the machete and the book curiously. He didn't realize that his father's words made the atmosphere in the room even more weird.
Xiao Yi only said one sentence, but this sentence revealed too much information!
The little grandson actually recognized An Yihou as his adoptive father, and the friendship between An Yihou and the eldest son seemed to be far beyond their expectations. In other words, is An Yihou considered serving the Zhennan Palace? !
Everyone either looked at the still calm Guan Yubai in shock, or their eyes fell on the book. There were four large characters written on the blue cover:
Guan's Six Secret Teachings.
The Official Six Secret Teachings written in white handwriting in official language! This idea set off a storm in the hearts of many generals in the hall.
Could this book be Guan Yubai's summary of the art of war based on his years of marching and combat records? !
As long as they think of this possibility, those generals will feel a surge of excitement and blood.
Before Guan Yubai reached the weak crown, he had experienced countless battles on the battlefield in the western Xinjiang. He was invincible, invincible, never defeated. A famous general who is rare in a century.
The art of war summed up by Guan Yubai is probably a treasure that all generals in the world want to see, but Guan Yubai actually gave it to his grandson in an understatement? !
Under the subtle and strange eyes of everyone, Xiao Xiaoyu smiled and grabbed the scabbard of the scimitar with one hand, and the blue book with the other, and put them in his arms. The domineering appearance made Nangong Yue cover her mouth Laughed.
Amidst the uncontrollable laughter of the guests, Guan Yubai also evoked a shallow smile, watching the little guy's every move with a smile, his dark eyes were as warm as water.
"Brat, at least you have some discernment!"
In the next moment, Xiao Yi picked up the little guy without hesitation, laughed and turned him upside down.
The little guy heaved and fell violently in his father's broad chest. He thought it was a lot of fun, and laughed "giggle".
Seeing this, the king of Zhennan twitched his eyes immediately, and almost scolded the naughty son for not knowing the rules. There is a saying: "Hold grandsons but not children", did this naughty son see that the child's grandfather is here? !
For all the guests, the hall at this time is like a world of ice and fire, and it is difficult to explain all kinds of feelings to outsiders.
In any case, since Xiao Yi hugged little Xiao Yu, it meant that the grasping week, which had been delayed for nearly half an hour, was finally over.
After Mrs. Yao cleared her throat, she laughed and said jokingly: "Today, the grandson grabbed the knife and the book, and he will be both civil and military in the future!"
The others finally came to their senses, and you congratulated King Zhennan, Xiao Yi, and Nangongyue one after another, boasting that the grandson was the only one in the world, which made King Zhennan smile, and let's put it in his heart. Write down this negligent's account first, and plan to wait for the guests to leave before worrying about it!
There was a lot of chatter and laughter, and Nangong Yue asked Zhennan King with a smile: "Father, it's almost time, can we start the banquet?"
King Zhennan nodded in response, and after that, the male guests and the female guests dispersed, and went to their respective tables under the guidance of a few nuns in charge.
The ensuing banquet for the male guests became more lively because of the participation of Xiao Yi and Guan Yubai, while at the banquet for the female guests, unknowingly, word of mouth began to spread the story about Xiao Shisun and Mei Lin. When everyone suddenly understood the story, they couldn't help laughing.
After waiting for an hour, the banquet was over, the guests left one after another, and the palace gradually returned to calm from the hustle and bustle.
Xiao Yi, who finally waited until the banquet was over, couldn't wait to go back to Bixiao Hall and have a good talk with his concubine, but unfortunately, his worrying father and king just didn't want him to live in peace. After the banquet was over, I called him to the outside study.
At this moment, the sun has begun to slant westward, putting away its dazzling light.
Zhennan Wang glared at Xiao Yi, who was sitting and not sitting, with a gloomy expression. When he saw this Nizi, he got angry and went up. Fortunately, the concubine Shizi is a good one, and the baby Jinsun will not be like his father. It's crooked!
King Zhennan forced himself to drink half a cup of hangover tea before he felt his anger subside a little, and asked angrily, "Nizi, where have you been for the past four months?!"
Xiao Yi leaned obliquely on the mahogany armchair, propped his right elbow on the side table, put his fist on his cheek, yawned lazily, and replied: "I'm going to Xiye."
Western night? ! Xiao Yi's answer was completely beyond Zhennan Wang's expectations, and he forgot to get angry after being shocked.
etc!
With the personality of this rebellious son, he has always been unprofitable, and he likes to hurt others to benefit himself. He must not bring tens of thousands of troops just to travel to the West Night, right
Thinking about it, King Zhennan's heart skipped a beat, an ominous premonition vaguely emerged, and he hurriedly asked again: "What are you going to Xiye for?!"
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows, his smile became wider, and he answered naturally: "Fight Xiye!"
Hit the night? ! This Nizi dared to say it, but the question was, would he dare to do it? ! King Zhennan's eyes widened slightly, and he suddenly thought of the scimitar that the rebellious son had given to Jinsun just now.
The scabbard of the scimitar was not only inlaid with gemstones, but also filled with enamel, making it very gorgeous and exquisite. From the shape of the scabbard, it can be seen that its blade is like a crescent moon, and the horn handle is slightly bent in a direction different from the tip of the knife.
Thinking about it now, King Zhennan suddenly realized that the scimitar was not an ordinary scimitar, but the Xiye scimitar. It is said that it was made into that shape after nearly a hundred years of improvement by the people of Xiye, which is most suitable for cavalry.
What does it mean that Nizi sent a Xiye scimitar to Jinsun? !
The more King Zhennan thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and a thought appeared in his heart that made him dare not think deeply, could it be, could it be
As if he knew what King Zhennan was thinking, the corners of Xiao Yi's mouth curled up, and he narrowed his eyes like a cunning fox, "Father, the brat is one year old, I'm too stingy as a father, Just lay down this Xiye as a birthday gift for him!"
