Chapter 112
After Yu Miaoqi came back from Lin's house, she locked herself in the room and saw no one. She didn't take a small step to the main hall on the night of the New Year's Eve dinner.
When the old lady saw her, she greeted her indifferently, as if she didn't see her haggard face. After eating the New Year's Eve dinner, she played cards for a while. Seeing that it was getting dark and the sound of firecrackers were ringing everywhere in the city, the old lady waved, "Let's go, go outside to drive away the New Year beast."
The so-called driving away the New Year beast is to set off firecrackers. The servants will naturally work for other families, but Yu Pinyan, the Hou Mansion, personally, ordered people to bring a large box of cannons and ignite them one by one and throw them into the sky.
Although Yu Xiang's leg was broken, his temperament was even more unscrupulous by Yu Pinyan. He held a stick of incense in his left hand and a two-fingered cannon in his right hand, one by one, ignited it and did not throw it anywhere else, and smashed it into the lotus pond. The loud bang made the ice layer in the pond break through the big holes, and the fish were blown out of the ice surface, jumping and jumping over with white belly.
"Catch it up quickly, and eat grilled fish for a midnight snack today!" She lay beside the lotus pond and instructed Taohong and Liulu to catch fish with nets.
Yu Siyu looked at her and wanted to let her go even if she wanted to let her go.
"You have to be careful. You know that the doorkeeper in the backyard, Liuzi, who has three fingers missing, don't you?" Yu Xiang shook his slap and said with a weird smile, "His finger was blown off when he was not thrown out in time when he was fired."
Yu Siyu's heart trembled, and she hurriedly threw the cannon before it was lit. It happened that it was thrown into Liu Lu's net pocket, which scared her so much that she screamed in a while. She threw it away and waited for a while. Seeing that there was no movement, she realized that the firecracker was not lit at all.
The few people looked at each other and felt relieved. However, Yu Xiang patted the wheelchair and laughed loudly, laughing so hard that tears came out.
The old lady stood in the corridor and looked at the lights and decorated in the courtyard and laughed. She felt that this year was the most peaceful year in the Yu Mansion. Although there were many twists and turns before, by the end of the year, whether it was finally a great opportunity, it changed a new atmosphere.
"Look, your legs are so skinny before they are well. If they are well, wouldn't you go to the room and lift the tiles?" The old lady pointed to her granddaughter who started frying fish again, scolded her, but she was doting on her face.
"Should she be happy, it's just a few fish." Yu Pinyan stared at his sister with his lips slightly bent.
"How many fish? That's the lion-headed koi I bought from Yangzhou for a lot of money." The old lady snorted and scolded, "Just spoil her. If she goes up the room and lifts the tiles, you're afraid you'll be on the escalator down."
Yu Pinyan laughed in a low voice, "How could it be? It's so dangerous to let her climb so high, so I can just help her to lift it."
The old lady just laughed at her grandson as she was joking, and then she smiled and waved to her two children, "Okay, don't let it go. Don't freeze yourself in the cold weather. Come into the house and roast the fire."
Taohong Liulu quickly pushed the master into the room. Yu Pinyan held her cold little hand and rubbed it, then placed it on a fire cage to keep warm. The old lady pulled the quilt and covered her granddaughter's leg and asked, "How, how many steps can I take recently?"
"It's only a dozen steps." Yu Xiang's smile slightly lowered.
The old lady quickly comforted her, "No hurry. I couldn't even stand up before, but now I can walk for a while. If I exercise more in the future, I will definitely get better and better."
"Well, not only can you walk, but you can run, but you can fly one day sooner or later." Yu Xiang nodded firmly.
The old lady was amused by her and laughed endlessly, but Yu Pinyan pinched her nose and joked, "You can fly now, and you can play with it."
This time, even Yu Siyu covered her mouth and smiled.
Yu Miaoqi watched the people chatting and laughing happily, her heart seemed to be soaked in venom, and one bleeding hole after another was eroded. She bent down with a cold face, "Grandmother, grandson feels a little uncomfortable, so she is not at ease, say goodbye." She left without waiting for the old lady to nod and raise her feet.
The old lady's eyes darkened for a moment, and soon smiled again, waved her hand, "Xiang'er's leg injury has just recovered, and she should have a good rest. Let's go back too. Your brother and sister and I will stay up to date."
Yu Xiang did not refuse, and Yu Pinyan naturally went to push the wheelchair. The two walked in the hand-paper veranda full of big red lanterns. There were many plum trees planted on both sides, and the branches were crowded with plum blossoms. A faint fragrance floated in the air, refreshing the heart.
There was no one in the quiet night, and the lights were gone. Yu Pinyan's steps slowed down unknowingly, and suddenly he had the idea that it would be good to go like this forever.
When she reached the end, snowflakes like goose feathers fell from the sky. One of them happened to fall on the tip of Yu Xiang's nose. When her body temperature touched, it turned into cool water droplets. Yu Xiang shook and then giggled.
Yu Pinyan also smiled softly, lowered his head to kiss the crystal water droplets.
Yu Xiang's breathing was a little quick. Seeing that his brother was about to kiss his lips, he quickly pushed him away and ordered, "Brother, stand a little further."
Yu Pinyan raised his eyebrows and walked forward a few steps according to Yan.
"Go a little further."
"Go a little further."
Until Yu Pinyan's back was almost against the dark rockery, Yu Xiang nodded and said, "Okay, that's OK. Brother, please stand and don't move! I have a New Year gift for you."
Yu Pinyan looked at her quietly, her eyes full of anticipation.
Yu Xiang stood up slowly with the handrail, staring at his brother without blinking, and then slowly took the first step, the second step, the third step... The heavy snow of goose feather dyed the gravel path white, and a series of footprints appeared on the snow, extending towards the stiff young man who had almost forgotten to breathe.
As he got closer, and there was still three or four meters away, Yu Xiang suddenly accelerated his pace and stumbled into the arms of the young man, which had already spread his arms. The strong impact force knocked the young man backwards, and then fell into the rockery cave behind him.
The young man's back was against the cold rocks, but a warm body was hanging in his arms. A faint fragrance dispelled the wet and cold air in the cave, leaving only the warm spring.
"Did you feel it? Are you tight?" Yu Xiang asked with his legs crossed between his brother's waist and twisted his waist.
The palms held the round and perky buttocks of her sister, and the most private parts of the two were tightly clamped together. Not only did they tangle their noses, but their body temperature was also transmitted along the fabric. The sister also said such inspiring words. A few blue veins appeared on Yu Pinyan's forehead, feeling that she would die sooner or later in the hands of this little fairy.
However, he was willing to accept it and couldn't help laughing softly. While eating her bright red lips, he said in a vague way, "You can tighten it a little more."
Responding to him was his tighter legs and a hot kiss. The two exchanged saliva frantically, and the snowflakes that kept floating into the hole could not cool down the burning desire in their hearts.
Taohong and Liulu stayed outside the cave for a long time, but they saw that they were almost frozen into ice sculptures and shouted in a trembling voice, "Miss, Marquis, it's time to go back! It's too cold outside, be careful of being infected with the cold."
Yu Pinyan tried hard to get out, gathered his messy hair for his sister, and whispered, "Let's go, be careful to freeze."
"I'm not cold at all. Look, my palms are sweating." Yu Xiang spread out his wet little hands.
Yu Pinyan immediately held it, lowered his head and kissed it on it, then took off his cloak and wrapped her tightly, and then walked out.
"Wait," Yu Xiang grabbed his clothes and reminded, "Don't tell anyone about what I can walk, especially my ancestors."
"Why?" Yu Pinyan frowned slightly.
"I'll let you know, how can you hug me openly in the future? So stupid!" Yu Xiang poked his chest with his fingertips.
Yu Pinyan smiled repeatedly and bit her delicate cheeks. His tone contained a strong indelible sweetness and pampering. "You little monster, you really know how to think about it. OK, my brother won't tell anyone, my brother will hold you for the rest of his life."
Yu Xiang was satisfied and took a bite on his face.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the New Year, the old lady began to prepare dowry for her two granddaughters. Although Yu Miaoqi was younger than Yu Siyu, her wedding date was set before her, which shows that the old lady was eager to get her out.
Yu Miaoqi became more anxious every day, and often wandered outside Yu Pinyan's study. When she saw the guards patrolling back and forth, she hurriedly avoided. In this way, by the end of March, her wedding date was approaching.
On that day, a horse suddenly rushed to the gate of the city. Before the guards guarding the city stepped forward to stop him, the soldiers riding horse shouted loudly, "Get out of the way, this is an 800-mile rush, the Westerners have reached Ulanqab!"
The guard was shocked and quickly opened the city gate and asked him to go over. Emperor Cheng Kang immediately convened a court meeting to discuss the war with the important officials. Originally, General Jianwei Xiong Changhai, who was stationed in Ulanqab, was old and plagued by secret illness. He had already asked his bones to retire and return home a month ago. The generals who replaced him were not able to show their potential, which made the Westerners take advantage of the loopholes. The other generals were over fifty years old. Although they asked for battle, Emperor Cheng Kang could not be completely relieved.
Seeing that the emperor Zhanran looked straight at him, Yu Pinyan bowed slightly and asked for a fight. Emperor Cheng Kang threw the general's seal of the cavalry with a correct reply, and he steadily caught it.
The ministers suddenly remembered that Yu Dutong was not only the commander of the capital, but also the General of the Cavalry who led a million troops. At the age of sixteen, he became famous all over the world for his victory in a hundred battles. He was a famous god of war in the Han Dynasty. In recent years, he killed people and made countless enemies. Everyone gradually remembered his reputation and forgot his achievements.
All the ministers were speechless for a moment.
The old lady knew about such a big thing at the border, and her heart squinted. She put down the scriptures and sighed to her granddaughter who accompanied her to worship Buddha, "Xiang'er, your brother is probably going to go to war again."
Yu Xiang accidentally cut off the Buddhist beads and looked frightened.
"Recite the scriptures, try to recite them forty-nine times before your brother leaves, and then hit the rogue and let your brother put them on." The old lady took out a rusty copper coin from the cage and placed it in the palm of her granddaughter's palm.
This is a habit that the grandparents and grandchildren developed in their early years. Whenever Yu Pinyan went to war, they would definitely find a copper coin to pray for blessings, and then let Yu Pinyan take him by his side to ward off evil spirits.
Yu Xiang's throat was choked and his eyes flushed. This was not the first time his brother went on a war, but her mood was more uncomfortable than ever. She had to face separation before the sweet life even began, and it was more likely that she was separated by life and death. She suddenly lost the courage to face the future alone.
She held the copper coins and cried silently, which made the old lady cry like a spring.
