cousin

The guard's expression softened when he saw the object that symbolized his identity, and he didn't say anything more. A few days ago, Miss Xunyue said that the eldest sister would be going home in the near future. This must be the one who reached out to open the door and let her in.

Yuchi walked through the front hall and looked at the servants who were sweeping away dust with feather dusters. There were only a few familiar ones. He then crossed the arch bridge over the pond in the backyard and came to a relatively remote independent cabin in the mansion.

The construction of the house does not match the entire courtyard. It was obviously built later. From time to time, green and yellow smoke comes out of the house.

Xunrong walked in. Before he entered, he heard the sound of some copperware being knocked down. Yuchi was a little worried, so he pushed the door open and rushed in. The people in the room were also startled by the sudden banging on the door.

As soon as the old man raised his head, he saw his favorite granddaughter standing at the door. He grinned, and then he called her over with his other hand that was not holding the cattail leaf fan, and asked himself:

"Is it the Moon Worship Festival?"

"Well, Chang'an Street is so busy, why don't you go out and take a look." Yuchi closed the door and felt the smoky atmosphere in the room. He walked to Yuchi Gong and placed the medicine he grabbed from the pharmacy on the small table on his right.

.

"What is this?" Yu Chigong looked at the medicine bag next to him and kept fanning the alchemy furnace with his hand. "Are you going to buy me those tonics again?"

In fact, it is not difficult to guess. Ever since I heard that Yuchi Gong was practicing the elixir of immortality, Yuchi Xunrong would come back every year to get some of this kind of medicinal food.

"You don't have to buy these for me." Yuchi Gong said, patting his strong chest, then shaking his somewhat messy hair, "If you want to buy it, just give it to your father.

I have never seen such a weak body, and I am embarrassed to say that he is my son."

For most of his life, Yuchi Gong had been wondering why he was so strong and in better health than people of the same generation even when he was old, but why his two sons did not inherit anything from him.

Among all the children, Yuchi Xunrong was the most like him, both in character and physique, so he later gave her his own character as a name.

"Is it okay for you to say this about your son? If my father hears this, he will have to go to the ancestral hall to cry and complain." Yuchi said and began to look around the room to see, "What have you learned after I have been away for more than half a year?"

Is it something good?”

"Don't break it for me!" Yuchi Gong said, using his free hand to grab the Angelica cubes next to the alchemy furnace and hit Yuchi's hand that was about to touch the pills.

"Hey! The force of this is quite strong. It seems that the pills are not bad." Yuchi, who was hit, retracted his hand and sat back next to his grandfather. "Except for the boxes in which they are placed, what are the other differences between these pills?

? Do they all look similar?"

She knew that these were the elixirs of immortality that her grandfather had painstakingly refined over the years, and now she wished she could destroy them all so that the old man could leave the room and get some fresh air.

If he stays like this, he will almost grow into this house.

"Go, go, go!" Why didn't Yuchi Gong know what his granddaughter was thinking, so he drove her out of the house repeatedly? "Your is alone in the house every day. Today is the first month of the lunar month. Go and go out with her to avoid being in the house."

The house is boring."

"Grandpa, you have been in this room all day long. When did you care about us juniors?" Yuchi Xunrong was still a little unhappy looking at the pills.

"Don't look at me in this room, but I am very smart."

Just as Yuchi was about to speak, the incense beside the alchemy furnace burned out. Yuchi Gong quickly stopped fanning the fan, quickly poured cold water from the side and poured it on the flames under the alchemy furnace. Seeing his grandfather like this, Yuchi said nothing.

, closed the door and left the alchemy room silently.

She was used to it. The old man had built a small alchemy room in his family's courtyard before he returned home. In the summer, he dug a pond to expand the balcony, decorated it with white patterned silk fabrics, and even played Qing Shang music for his own entertainment. I heard that

I will also eat some mica ore powder.

Although she had never seen it, she was already in awe of her just from hearing about it. She was in awe of how strong her grandfather's intestines were until now.

Yuchi had tried to persuade him earlier, but it was of no use. When he was an official in the court, Yuchigong had the final say in this mansion. His father was really a soft persimmon and he relied on his grandfather for protection. Now that he has taken off his armor and returned to the countryside, there is no one left.

Dare to speak.

After searching for a long time, Yuchi asked his servants where his was, and hurriedly ran to another part of the house. Before he walked in, he saw the beautiful young girl sitting in the pavilion, nurturing flowers.

Yuchi shook his head, no wonder everyone said that she was the most like her grandfather in the whole family. These people were either weak or not good at martial arts.

"Cousin!"

When she heard the voice, the girl looked up, her face was stunned for a moment, and then she stood up with a very beautiful smile and waved, "Cousin! Why did you come back? I've been waiting for you all morning."

Xuanyue can be said to be a proper lady of the family, and she is still at home. No one can accompany her at home when she wants to go out. Her uncle is not working in Chang'an, and her grandfather doesn't like people of her generation very much. Her is in the palace all the year round, and her relatives

My sister has already married away. This huge house has more servants than the owner.

Even if she wanted to blow up the Duke's Mansion, no one would say anything.

"I was delayed for a while on the way, but it was too late. When I came back, I read the notice and said that this year, the saint has granted permission for the people to come out to worship the moon."

Translated, it means that tonight the people can also hold activities like the palace, but they still have to pay attention to the hierarchy.

"So what's new outside?" Xunyue put down the scissors in her hand and gave Wei Zhan a cup of tea, her eyes full of longing for the outside.

"Yes! How could it not be!" Yuchi smiled and curled his lips, took a sip of tea and deliberately teased her not to talk about the outside world. "I am really thirsty after a long journey. My 's tea-making skills have improved compared to last year.

Quite a few.”

"Cousin, don't try to make fun of me again! This is a servant's fault." Xunyue shook Yuchi's arm anxiously, her face wrinkled together, begging her to speak quickly.

"Okay, you go and change your clothes. Look at them all stained with dirt. Then put some rouge on them. I'll take you out." Yuchi said and patted the piece of clothes the other party had stained because of trimming flowers, but he didn't.

What action?

"Cousin, don't you want to change your clothes?" Xuanyue looked at her manly outfit and her high ponytail, which is really convenient for walking in the world, but today is the first month of worship, and there must be some handsome men and beautiful women in Chang'an City.

This body is comparable to that of men, but no man dares to marry her, right? We need to find a good family for my quickly so that she can stay in Chang'an.

"I can't put on your clothes. I really need to change these clothes after traveling so hard. I'll just go back to the house and change into a clean set later."

Yuchi said as he took out a hairpin from his arms and put it in front of Xunyue, "This is a style that southern women like and is not available in Chang'an. I thought it would look good on you, so I brought it back."

Xuanyue put the hairpin in his hand and looked at it over and over again, not very pleased, "This hairpin must be worth a lot of money, right? Does my still have pocket money? I have no place to use what the accounting office has given me over the years. They are all in the wing."

Leave it."

The mainstream in Chang'an City is still mainly gold hairpins. This kind of jade is mostly favored by graceful-looking women in the south of the Yangtze River, so even if there are hairpins in Chang'an City, they are of old style.

"I have it. You can have the hairpin if you like it." Yuchi smiled and shook his head. She was his grandfather's favorite granddaughter. How could she have no money?

After three sticks of incense, Xun Yue walked out of the house lightly wearing the hairpin given by Yuchi, who had been meditating on the stone chair in front of her room long before burning one stick of incense.

"Cousin, I'm fine."

Yuchi looked at his 's thin clothes and couldn't help but lift them up a few times, "You have fair skin, and this hairpin really suits you."

There is a small pendant made of yellow jade hanging from the hosta. Every time Xinyue takes a step, the small pendant ripples, making the girl appear lighter.

When Xuanyue came out, she also looked at her 's new outfit. Although it wasn't as girly as her own, it was still much better than the one she wore back. This outfit looked more delicate and noble.

"Cousin, do you still carry a knife during the Moon Worship Festival? Aren't you afraid of scaring others?" Xuanyue looked at the Tang Dao hanging on her 's body and smiled. Yuchi tilted his head and led her to the back door.

"The housekeeper has prepared a carriage. We will take the carriage to the main street. When we have had enough fun, we will return to the main street to find them."

"You haven't told me where exactly you are going? The main street is quite big." Xuanyue was dragged into the carriage by Yuchi. After getting on the carriage, the two of them ate some cakes made by the cook at home.

“The food at home still tastes delicious~”

Yuchi closed his eyes and sighed, then opened his eyes again and looked at his smart .

"Go to Jinyu Pavilion. There is a banquet there tonight. All the dignitaries in Chang'an City will be there. Let's go there to watch the excitement."

"Jinyu Pavilion? That's not... that's not..."

Then Yuchi saw that his 's face, which was already rouged, became even more rosy, and even looked like it was bleeding.

Xuanyue blushed not for anything else. This Jinyu Pavilion is a place of romance, but it is not an ordinary romance. It is said that she only sells her art but not her body, and the boss is also a strange person. Only you can't imagine it, but she can't do it.

It would be a bit awkward for a girl in her boudoir to go there on weekdays, but today she was worshiping the moon.

The top floor of the Jinyu Pavilion has long been transformed into a large platform by the boss, surrounded by curtains. It is usually used by literati and elegant guests to enjoy the scenery of Chang'an. Today, she used it as a gambling gimmick to enjoy the moon.

"Does my have a sweetheart? Why don't we make an appointment to enjoy the moon together?"

Yuchi saw her blushing and started teasing her again. She had liked to make fun of these younger brothers and sisters since she was a child, and she still liked it when she grew up. What's more, she even didn't let go of her brothers.

"Cousin!" Xunyue was a little angry at first, but then she turned to melancholy again, "My sister's wedding was organized by my uncle. Now that my uncle has been transferred away from Chang'an, and I am in that deep house every day, how could I have someone I like?"
