Although he appeared in the inn that night, I really didn't have much energy to pay attention to him. At this time, I had some time to take a closer look. Song Xuan was probably only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was still Pei Yuanhao's junior, but he had experienced it in the army. Maybe he had just come down after fighting on the battlefield. His brazen aura was not inferior to the elders here.

As soon as he came over, he leaned over to Old Lady Zhang and said, "Grandma, grandson offended."

When Old Mrs. Zhang saw him, her eyes were bent, and the smiles that were rippling like water waves came out of the crevice of her eyes. She reached out and grabbed his wrist: "What are you saying offense? Is it still called offense to grandma? Come on—oh, it's so cold, it's blowing the wind? Sit down and drink a bowl of soup. Xiaoqing, hurry up and serve the soup for the young master."

This is exactly the most intimate attitude of an old man towards his grandson.

On this table, Pei Yuanxiu and I gradually became a little uneasy.

Speaking of which, he and I have been rich since childhood. After growing up, we have experienced many twists and turns, enjoyed blessings and committed sins, but the warmth of this most natural family is much less than that of many people.

Although Song Xuan looked fierce, he looked like a tiger suddenly shrank into a cat when he was facing his grandmother. He let her hold his hand and walk to the table obediently, and saluted to me, Pei Yuanxiu, and his father. Then the maid and servant brought a stool and placed it behind Song Huaiyi. He sat there, took a bowl of hot soup handed over by the maid, and took a sip.

After seeing him take a sip, Old Mrs. Zhang turned her head with confidence and said to us: "Everyone, use it quickly, otherwise you will cool the wind."

A few of us responded and picked up our chopsticks.

After all, it was still Mrs. Zhang’s “private dish”. It tasted good. Although I was thinking about things in my heart, I still had to perfunctory to see and I still picked up a lot of dishes.

Old Mrs. Zhang raised her chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised rabbit meat and sent it to Pei Yuanxiu's bowl.

"There is nothing to be treated here in our palace. I remember that Your Highness likes to eat this. This is a hare that the servant went to the back mountain to beat. It smells so fragrant."

Pei Yuanxiu nodded and said, "Thank you."

After saying that, he picked it up and put it in his mouth, and took a bite.

Old Mrs. Zhang pinched the chopsticks and looked at him with a smile, saying, "I remember that when you were young, your highness was the most lively whenever you had dinner together. Your Highness wanted to pick up rabbit meat from your third highness's bowl, and your Highness wanted to grab beef from your highness's bowl. It was obvious that there were on the table, but you just wanted to grab it, as if the snatched one was delicious."

Pei Yuanxiu looked up at her, his eyes flashed slightly, and he was silent for a while before saying, "I was young at that time."

"Yes, if you want to see such a scene now, I'm afraid I won't see it."

Pei Yuanxiu smiled.

I was just chewing the things in my mouth and not opening my mouth.

Of course, such scenes cannot be seen, but sometimes, some history will repeat itself and will be even more crazy than the original scene.

Of course, this hare meat is very fragrant and the chef's skills are not bad, but I saw that he didn't taste very good. After taking a bite, the rest was put on the plate and took a sip of the soup by himself.

While we were talking, Song Huaiyi turned his head and asked Song Xuan in a low voice: "What's the situation?"

Song Xuan also lowered his voice and said, "Father, the people in Cangzhou are still very tenacious."

“…”

"I'm afraid today is—"

“…!”

Song Huaiyi's brows frowned immediately, and a fierce light appeared on his face.

Cangzhou City has been unable to capture for a long time. Compared with Huaian and other places we passed along the way, it is indeed very difficult for him to come to the Beijing-Tianjin gate. If Pei Yuanxiu is kept blocked outside and delayed the opportunity, he will probably become the "founding criminal" in everyone's eyes. Not to mention anything else, it is just now, it is not easy to explain to Pei Yuanxiu.

He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Tell me my order and beat me hard!"

Song Xuan glanced at him and said, "Yes."

At this time, Old Lady Zhang turned her head and looked at them: "What are you two whispering about? Is there anything that my old lady can't listen to? Do you have to say secretly in private?"

Song Huaiyi hurriedly said, "Oh, it was a mine I bought two years ago. I have been digging for a long time but haven't seen the mine. I'll let them dig a little deeper."

Old Mrs. Zhang sniffed and said, "I think it's a big deal. It's just a small thing that is worth talking about at the dinner table? Tianlei doesn't hit the diner. Your son has been busy outside for so long and doesn't even let him drink Ansheng?"

Song Huaiyi hurriedly lowered his head: "My son knew he was wrong."

Old Mrs. Zhang said: "Besides, our family has so many gold and silver mountains. Why do we still buy mines? Why do we need so much money? Do we count when we are lying down and sleeping at night?"

“…”

"You are just willing to spare no blessings."

“…”

"It's better to eat this bite of rice in the bowl for so much money."

She scolded her and was nagging. It was incredible to other family members, but Song Huaiyi still listened honestly and admitted her mistakes. Song Xuan was also silent.

I think, the old man was confused, and they just coaxed her, making her know nothing.

I was thinking in my heart, and Pei Yuanxiu said in my ear: "What's wrong? Eat quickly."

I looked up at him.

On the other side, Song Xuan had already gotten up and left, so he naturally wanted to go down and pass on his father's order - to beat him hard. Old Mrs. Zhang saw that his grandson had just drank a bowl of soup and left, and she couldn't help but get angry again. Song Huaiyi sat beside her and coaxed her softly.

I don’t know what to do this, but I can imagine it when I think about it. Cangzhou was besieged when the food and grass were burned out, and the troops of the Song and Cui families took turns to fight, harassing outside every night, and attacking the city the next day while they were in poor spirits. In fact, I can hardly imagine what the situation in the city was like.

I don’t know how many people will die after Song Huaiyi’s “hard attack”.

If I were to save the people in Cangzhou with the saying of the wronged soul rushing to the fetal aura like before in Huai'an, it would be bad. After all, this method will not be easy to use once.

I have to think of other ways.

Under Pei Yuanxiu's soft urging, I lowered my head and ate another bite of the dish, but this time it was not as comfortable as before. My chest was so stuffy that I almost couldn't swallow it. At this time, half a bowl of hot soup was delivered to me. I looked up and saw that it was Mrs. Zhang. She smiled and said to me: "Daughter-in-law, is the old lady's food not suitable for your appetite?"

"No, no."

"Then you eat more," she smiled lovingly and said to me, "No one of my children and grandchildren is worried. If you have a hard wing, they will not listen to me. But you must listen to me, I will."

“…”

I glanced at her and said softly: "Oh."

After lunch, we did not come back immediately, but sat in the viewing building and talked with the old man. She was in good spirits and kept talking. In the end, Song Huaiyi couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he asked someone to help her go back to sleep, so we were able to "get out of trouble". At that time, it was already three hours, and the sounds outside slowly calmed down.

However, no news came in.

At this time, I also knew that no news came in, which means that the war was fruitless, which means that they still did not enter Cangzhou City.

Because I was a little troublesome at noon, I felt sleepy when I returned to the room. Pei Yuanxiu asked me to serve me and lie down and sleep. Naturally, he went back to his room.

However, sleepiness is sleepiness, but I can't close my eyes.

The words that Mrs. Zhang said were funny, kind, reproachful, and kind. At this moment, they were all ringing in my mind. When I think of the old man's particularly clear eyes, I couldn't help but smile gently.

I didn't go out to eat dinner, saying that I had stuffed too much at the old lady at noon and wanted to digest food. Pei Yuanxiu came over and took a look. Seeing that I was really eating too much, my stomach was not very comfortable, so he didn't force me. He asked the doctor to come over and diagnose me with my pulse again, and then he left after I took the medicine.

However, the night was very quiet and it was not as noisy as before. It was probably because the Song family members were exhausted during the day and could not fight for two consecutive days, so they temporarily had a day off.

That night, except for the wind in this garden, there was no other movement, and I slept well.

The next morning, Old Lady Zhang came again.

As soon as she came, I was in a good mood, but Han Ruoshi's face became very bad. After all, she was a guest and no matter how valuable she was, she could not suppress the mother of the owner. She was also afraid that the old lady would be confused and could say anything, so when the old lady appeared, she angrily avoided herself.

Today, although there is no sound of war outside, everyone is not very fun to stay in this garden. Fortunately, Song Huaiyi is a good person to enjoy it, and has prepared a group of singers and dancers to dance below.

I was still sitting in the seat of yesterday with Old Lady Zhang, warm and there were hot tea and snacks on hand. Looking at the singing and dancing below, I was particularly enjoyable.

When it was lunch, Pei Yuanxiu was worried that I was in poor health and did not allow me to go to Mrs. Zhang to eat her private dishes, so I didn’t have to climb the mountain. However, in the garden, Mrs. Zhang was still sitting next to me, and even more intimately picked up food for Mrs. Pei Yuanxiu.

And Han Ruoshi did not appear during the whole meal.

In the afternoon, Pei Yuanxiu and Song Huaiyi could not accompany us to watch the singing and dancing anymore and wanted to go to the study to talk. Old Mrs. Zhang had been sent back to take a nap by Song Xuan, and I was left alone. Hua Zhu originally thought I would take a nap for a while, but I said that after sitting for a long time, my feet were swollen and I wanted to walk in the garden, so she would accompany me.

After a while, he slipped outside Han Ruoshi's yard.
