Jiaochu

Chapter 58: Fighting for the King of Flowers at the Hundred Flowers Banquet ([-])
Seeing that Ye Lingjue entered the house on his own initiative, Yanfei closed the military book with a swoop, picked up the Hanyue Bow placed on the table and practiced archery. Three arrows in a row hit the bull's-eye, and some of the irritability suppressed in his heart was released. After looking at the small golden flowers on the wall for a while, I calmed down and opened the book of war again and started reading.

On the other side, Ye Lingxi followed Xi Niang all the way to her residence. After entering the house, Xi Niang put the empty bowl on the table, then walked to the window and sat down to do needlework. She ignored Ye Lingxi and left her alone in the house. Hang out.

After a while, there was a slight hiss in the room, and a bright red blood droplet seeped out from Xi Niang's index finger. She put the finger to her lips and sucked it before continuing to thread.

"Sister, what are you embroidering?" Ye Lingxi heard Xi Niang's slight hiss when she ran over. It hurt her to look at it. When she saw the indescribable thing embroidered on the silk cloth, her heart was filled with tears. I feel a little sympathetic.

And when Xi Niang answered generously and neatly that it was a mandarin duck, Ye Lingxi tightly pressed her cherry mouth to prevent herself from laughing.

After silently taking a deep breath to calm down, Ye Lingxi passed on all her half-baked embroidery experience to Xi Niang. After all, Xi Niang learned the correct hand gestures for holding a needle, and their friendship quickly warmed up.

In less than half an hour of getting along, Ye Lingxi's affection for Xi Niang gradually increased. He was straightforward and straightforward. No matter in the previous life or this life, she had never had the opportunity to meet such a person. A chivalrous woman is completely different from the ladies in the capital, and she is not polite at all.

"Sister, how did you and your third uncle know each other?" Ye Lingxi had become so familiar with her that she could no longer suppress her petty gossip.

Xi Niang said frankly: "He went to Qingzhou to suppress water bandits, and I happened to pass by and help him."

"When the road is rough, I draw my sword to help. My sister and my third uncle are really destined~" Ye Lingxi winked at Xi Niang playfully, and said longingly, "My sister must be very good at martial arts, and she will definitely beat those water bandits to their knees. I'm just now Learn how to step on horseback, but when will you be as good as your sister?"

Xi Niang said equally frankly: "I started practicing martial arts at the age of five and started training at the age of 15."

"My third brother taught me martial arts. Who taught my sister martial arts?" Ye Lingxi asked curiously.

This time Xi Niang was silent for a moment and simply answered with two words: "Master."

Feeling that the other party didn't want to talk about this topic, Ye Lingxi changed the subject and talked about Third Uncle Yan, saying that a few days ago he asked her why she called him uncle and sister Xiniang, and also said that the seniority was confused, but Xiniang didn't hear this. Ye Lingxi did not point out the subtext of the confusion of seniority. After all, the person involved had to pierce the window paper before the merits would be considered complete.

It was obvious that the two of them were in love and even had children, so why did they leave without saying a word? What kind of secret was there...

Ye Lingxi was lost in thought and was suddenly hit on the head by Xi Niang's finger. It really refreshed her mind and made her not confused at all.

When Ye Lingxi returned, she saw that Ye Lingjue was not in the yard. She thought that he could no longer stay any longer and went back alone. The next moment, Ye Lingjue walked out of the house, and she froze.

"Go back." Ye Lingjue came over and said.

Ye Lingxi: "..." Can't you say something else?

"Second brother, it's still early." Before Ye Lingxi could finish what he said, Ye Lingjue grabbed his elbow and dragged him away. Yan Fei couldn't stop him. By the time he picked up his crutches and stood up, they were almost at the door. .

"Brother Yan, after you finish reading the military book, I will ask my third uncle to bring you new ones."

Ye Lingxi only had time to finish these instructions before his back disappeared outside the wall.

"Second brother, please let go, I can leave on my own." Ye Lingxi frowned.

Ye Lingjue turned his gaze and glanced down at her, and asked in a nonchalant manner: "What if you run away?"

"I can't outrun you even if I run..." Ye Lingxi muttered, and then promised, "I won't run, I still want to see the third brother and the others." "Where is that place? Can you, a girl, go there?" Ye Lingxi said. Ling Jue said.

Ye Lingxi raised his head and said, "Second brother, you go. You are not a girl, so go."

Ye Lingjue almost laughed out of anger. Seeing that Ye Lingxi looked like she was about to explode, her two little tiger teeth were about to come out, he let go of her elbow first.Ye Lingxi didn't run away and walked forward without saying a word. Ye Lingjue shook his head helplessly and followed him up.

Before leaving the garden, the two happened to meet Yan Fei's cousin Yan Chu Chu, the eldest daughter of Yan Cheng and Zhang, and the second lady of the General's Mansion. She was two years younger than Yan Fei, not even eleven years old, with dark eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes. , a born beauty.

Last time at the celebration banquet, there were so many people separated by Ye Lingxi, who was not very tall. Yan Chuchu didn't see what she looked like, so he didn't recognize her identity. Like her mother Zhang, she thought she was a little palace maid. , but I’m still too young and don’t quite understand the rules.

After Yan Chuchu saluted Ye Lingjue, she spoke in a voice as gentle and pleasant as a lark: "I heard that Your Highness is here to visit Brother Fei. Thank you, Your Highness, for taking the trouble."

"It's just a little friendship between classmates. Don't take it to heart, second lady. It's getting late, so I won't disturb the house." Ye Lingjue nodded slightly and left with Ye Lingxi.Ye Lingxi quietly glanced back and saw that the second young lady was still looking over here, and she had already guessed that although her second brother was not a relative, his appearance was indeed outstanding, and it was no wonder that the young lady saw him. Be confused.

Seeing that the other party was Yan Fei's sister, she helped to find out. If her second brother didn't have this intention, it would be best. She didn't want to watch the little girl jump into the pit. If so, she would consider it in the long term.

"Second brother, what do you think of the second young lady? Does she look good?"

"What do you think?"

"I think it looks pretty good. What do you think, second brother?"

"I also think it looks pretty."

"How pretty, is it like falling in love at first sight?"

“…..Did Third Brother and the others teach you these nonsense words?”

"What I said casually has nothing to do with Third Brother."

"After school in the future, don't go to Ganquan Palace. I will teach you martial arts."

"Second brother, if you still want to teach me how to practice archery, let third brother teach me. Don't be too tired."

……

After Dong Mo left the general's mansion in a carriage, Ye Lingxi insisted on picking up Ye Xingye and went back with him. Ye Lingjue couldn't resist her, so he ordered Dong Mo to park the carriage nearby later.

After the carriage stopped near Zixue Pavilion, Dong Mo got off the carriage and went to look for someone in the building.

Ye Lingxi lifted the car curtain and looked outside, and saw a crowd of people outside the attic door. Everyone stretched their necks and looked in. They knew where it was without looking at the words on the plaque.

Looking at the blocked door of Zixue Pavilion, Ye Lingxi doubted whether Dong Mo could squeeze in. However, Dong Mo did not go in through the door, but went around to the back.
