blue bird song

Chapter 12 Don't Hug the Pipa (3)
Someone from the cavalry urged the horse to come over, and asked the young man in a low voice, "My lord, how about you go down and capture this little village girl and interrogate her carefully?" , silently backed away.

The boy jumped off the horse, and bowed his hands politely at the little girl, "I was rude just now, I'm sorry."

The little girl smiled brightly, and nodded old-fashionedly, "If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it. If you correct your past mistakes, you can teach them."

The boy was dumbfounded by what she said.

"Hey, do you see that small road? Go around it, turn left when you see a small earthen house, then turn left again when you see a small forest, and you will arrive at Yang Ge's hometown after a short walk." The little girl happily Showed the way.

The boy thanked him with a smile, got on his horse, and led the people around the path.

Not long after this group of people left, the old horse and broken car also quietly withdrew.

The little girl giggled, carrying the red-tasseled gun, and returned to Yang's house in a high spirited manner.

A little friend Dang returned home to send a letter a long time ago, "A group of troops came from outside the village. There were cavalry and carriages. They asked about the way to Yang Ji and Yang Ge's hometown. I don't know if it is an enemy or a friend!"

Hearing this, the manager's mouth twitched. "I don't know if it's an enemy or a friend", are you addicted to fighting with Qingque, aren't you?You are pretending to be knights and officers and soldiers, and you are the busiest at home all day long.The boss of the pavilion is a first-rank official with full salary and retirement. You should be the head of the three mountains and five mountains in the rivers and lakes. I don’t know whether it is an enemy or a friend.

The manager sent the old married family to go out, "Look, who will come to visit." The family agreed and went.It didn't take long, and I came back with a smile to report, "It's our second young lady who brought Yu and Qi back! Because the road is not smooth, I invited the British prince to see you off. No, it's almost at the gate gone."

The manager was puzzled.The Second Young Mistress brought her elder brother and sister to follow the Second Young Master to work in southern Anhui. Well, why did she return to Yang Ji quietly?I hurriedly went to report to Elder Yang Ge in person, and asked Mother Lin to tidy up the house quickly so that the second young mistress, brother and sister could live.By the way, there is also a prince from the British government who is so enthusiastic about escorting the second young lady back to the house.

Nanny Lin immediately got busy, directing a group of maids to clean the house, make the beds, and take out various useful things from the warehouse.Yingniang also wanted to go over to help, but Nanny Lin pushed her away with a smile, "Yingniang, just take care of the little green bird." Yingniang pursed her lips and smiled, but did not insist.

Qing Que was talking about his great achievements, "Grandpa, you haven't seen me, the crowd is waiting to see the old horse and the broken car with sad faces, the autumn wind is bleak, and the eyes are full of desolation..."

Shaking his little head, his face was full of regret.

This naughty girl!Old Yang Ge's eyes were full of smiles, and he pretended to be angry and said, "Just because the boy didn't get off the horse to ask the way, you punish him like this?"

Qing Que giggled, "Where, where. They are coming aggressively, their purpose is unknown, they don't know whether they are enemies or friends, so I will delay for a while, so that Grandpa can be prepared!"

While the grandfather and grandson were talking, the boy in black and his party had already arrived at the gate of Yang Ge's hometown. "Here it is." The woman in the car got out of the car with a pleasant surprise on her face.She hated this rural place, but after a long journey, she just wanted to have a good rest.The rest don't care at all.

The woman held a boy about ten years old with her left hand and a girl about six or seven years old with her right hand, and told them with tears in her eyes, "Brother Yu, sister Qi, this is the ancestral home of our Yang family! Grandpa, his old man, lives here!"

The door of the mansion opened, and Nanny Lin came out with a smile, and invited the group of people in.The horses were led to the stables, and the soldiers were invited to live in the outer courtyard. The eldest son lived alone in an elegant small courtyard, and the maid helped him to bathe and change clothes.Second Young Mistress, Brother Yu, and Sister Qi were invited to the upper room.

The second young lady took her children to visit their grandfather Yang Gelao, and said with tears: "There are bandits in southern Anhui, and my granddaughter-in-law lives there, and she is terrified. Just when the son is going back to Beijing, he begged the son to escort him and go to him." grandfather."

Elder Yang Ge looked solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Is the banditry extremely serious? If so, Dacheng is there, is it safe?" Elder Yang Ge's second grandson, Yang Dacheng, the husband of Mrs. Yang, was the magistrate of Wannan County at that time.

The second young lady was stunned, not knowing how to answer.If it's serious, it's hard to guarantee that it won't scare the old man; if it's not serious, uh, then I hurried back to Yangji with my children, what happened.

The maid came in and bowed her knees, "My lord is here to pay my respects to my lord." Elder Yang Ge ordered, "Please!" The second young lady hurriedly said, "Grandfather, this is the lord of the British government, surnamed Zhang Minghu, a young hero, It's admirable! Granddaughter-in-law, brother Yu, and sister Qi are all thanks to his care."

The maid opened the curtain, and a young man with outstanding appearance came in with a light fur coat.He was wearing a black brocade gown with bat patterns, and his long black and glossy hair was loosely crowned with a hair crown.

After meeting the saluting fellows, Elder Yang asked about the bandits in southern Anhui. Zhang Hu smiled and said, "Master Ge, you don't need to worry about it. Now the bandit chaos has calmed down, and southern Anhui is peaceful." Although he was only twelve or thirteen years old, he had already followed others The father, the British Duke, has been fighting for many years, and his words are convincing.After hearing what he said, Yang Ge felt a little settled.

There were indeed mountain bandits in southern Anhui, and the imperial court sent the British Duke Zhang Fu to lead troops to suppress the bandits.However, these bandits were really mobs, Zhang Fu wiped them out without any effort.

Zhang Fu led the army back slowly, but Zhang Hu was impatient and wanted to take a small road back to Beijing.It happened that Grandma Yang was going back to her hometown, so Zhang Hu had no choice but to escort her all the way back.Fortunately, southern Anhui is not far from Xiayi, after passing Xiayi, he can let his horse gallop.

"I am grateful to you, my son!" Elder Yang Ge thanked Zhang Hu repeatedly.

A gentle and charming smile bloomed on Zhang Hu's jade-like face, and his voice was as pure as a stream of spring water, "Master Ge is very polite, the younger generation is ashamed."

Brother Yu and Sister Qi stood with their arms down, sneaking glances at Zhang Hu who was talking eloquently from time to time.His demeanor is really elegant, and, when talking to great-grandfather, he is so calm and calm!
The Second Young Mistress stood by, looking at Zhang Hu and Brother Yu, who was only two or three years younger than Zhang Hu, and hated that iron could not be made into steel.Brother Yu, look at you, compared with Shizi, you are a little fool!

Looking at the delicate and childish sister Qi again, my heart is pounding.In terms of family background, they are quite suitable; in terms of talent and appearance, they are also suitable; even in age, they are also suitable.

The Second Young Mistress was thinking wildly, the maid opened the curtain, and a little girl carved in pink and jade came in surrounded by maids.This little girl is about six or seven years old, with snow-skinned skin and beautiful appearance, and beautiful eyes, she is actually a beauty.

This... Isn't this the arrogant little village girl just now?The Second Young Mistress was annoyed, if it wasn't for the fact that her grandfather was sitting in the hall, and there were honorable and respectable guests present, she really wanted to be angry with this little village girl.

The "little village girl" smiled and met Mr. Yang Ge, and called her "Grandfather".Elder Yang Ge beckoned her to his side, held her and smiled at everyone, "This is my primary school student named Qingque. Qingque, I went to meet Zhang Shizi, your second aunt, and Brother Yu, Qi elder sister."

Brother Yu and sister Qi opened their eyes wide.This, isn't this the little girl on the tree just now?Although the two of them sat comfortably in the car, they secretly lifted the curtain to see it many times, and they were deeply impressed by the little girl in the big red coat and carrying the red-tasseled gun.

Qing Que followed Yang Ge's instructions, first greeted Zhang Hu with a smile.Zhang Hu glanced at her with a half-smile, took an ivory panfinger from his hand and handed it to her, "This is a greeting gift from my brother, don't be disgusted, little Qingque."

Qing Que looked at Mr. Yang Ge, and asked with his eyes, "Grandpa, do you accept it?" Seeing Mr. Yang smiling and nodding at her, he generously took the ivory finger and put it on his hand, "Is it for archery? Very nice, thank you."

This little girl just accepts the things, and refuses to even call her brother.The corners of Zhang Hu's mouth turned up slightly, "Do you know how to archery? Do you want my brother to teach you?"

Qingque smiled without answering, turned to the second young lady to pay respects, calling her "Second Aunt".The second young mistress is bored, so don't mention it, where did this wild girl come from, and she deserves to be called my second aunt?In front of Elder Yang Ge, he praised with a pleasant smile, "You are so handsome!" He ordered someone to take a purse inlaid with gold and jade, and there were two gold lockets in the purse as a gift for meeting.

Qing Que thanked her, skillfully hung the purse on her waist, and squeezed it casually.Well, quite a few, although it is not enough to recruit troops, it can still make the brothers have a dental sacrifice, not bad, not bad.

Qing Que met Brother Yu and Sister Qi again, and smiled and called "Brother Yu" and "Sister Qi".Sister Qi was fine, but Brother Yu blushed when she heard the soft and clear "Brother".

At the reception banquet in the evening, the second young lady avoided, and Mr. Yang Ge took his great-grandson, great-granddaughter, and Qingque to drink with Zhang Hu.Zhang Hu watched coldly, the little girl just kept eating hard, and Yang Ge kept adding food to her. This is not a primary school student, but a young ancestor.

At the banquet, Mr. Yang Ge praised Zhang Hu several times as "a young hero with a warm heart", but Qing Que turned a deaf ear to it.However, Qing Que's eyes lit up when Mr. Yang Ge praised Zhang Hu for his "great military exploits at a young age, which is admirable".

Qing Que held a small blue and white porcelain bowl, her big eyes rolled around, looking at Zhang Hu from time to time.

Zhang Hu smiled slightly, little girl, what the hell are you planning.

After the banquet, they went back to their rooms to rest.Zhang Hu was sitting in front of the table and looking at the correspondence. The window was pushed open, and a small head poked in, "Hey, you have won many battles." The little girl lay on the window and smiled at him courteously.

"Datong, the Xuan Mansion fought eleven battles, captured 200 members of the Northern Yuan army, and beheaded three thousand; fought eight battles in Liaodong, beheaded countless Jurchens; defeated mountain bandits, and killed pirates." Moonlight shines through Light came in faintly from the window, and Zhang Hu's face was serene.

The little girl applauded, "It's amazing, it's amazing!" Zhang Hu couldn't help but feel a little worried, because you, lying on the window are not honest, why clap your hands?In case you fall, it's not for fun.

The little girl cleverly got through the window and climbed onto the table in front of Zhang Hu, "Hey, are you going to leave tomorrow? Let's fight a battle, will it work? You take your soldiers, I take my companions, we Fight a fair fight."

Zhang Hu buried his head in the letter and ignored her lazily.

"Hey, tell me if it will work or not." The little girl pushed his arm and urged.

Zhang Hu raised his head, his star-like eyes were calm and deep, "First of all, I have a name and a surname, not 'hey'. Secondly, there is a huge gap between my strength and yours, so it's boring."

The little girl was lying beside him, with a friendly smile on her face.Hearing this, she made a small face, and sat cross-legged on the table, with a posture of being serious and reasonable.The corners of Zhang Hu's mouth twitched, this little girl is not as tall as the table, but she always likes to pretend to be an adult, very funny.
