Pei Yuanzhang turned his head. He looked at Gu Ping's young, dark, but extremely firm face, and even his resolute face did not speak immediately, but looked down at Lier: "Lier wants him to also Come? "

"Ok."

Lier nodded and said, "Brother Ping is all right, good to me. When I was sad with my mother, Brother Ping came to help us."

"Oh……"

Pei Yuanzhang raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Ping again. It seemed that there was something unexpected. This seemingly unattractive boy could get such a high evaluation from Lier, and even he could help me. He also looked at me as if Seek my answer.

I thought about it and said calmly: "Ping'er is also a guard of Lier, wherever he goes, he should follow."

"..."

This time, his face paled slightly.

Then he turned around and waved gently, "Let him in."

The guards were a little hesitant when they heard it, but when they heard him, they had to obey and let Gu Ping enter the door.

Pei Yuanzhang walked in front of Lier, and when Lier saw the sights that he had never seen before, he ran away happily. Pei Yuanzhang didn't follow immediately, but said coldly without looking back. "Since you're the guard of the departure, then you will do your job well."

Gu Ping took a moment to realize that he was talking to himself, and said subconsciously, "Yes."

After speaking, others also froze, a flushed face, and Pei Yuanzhang didn't look back at him, just walked forward.

I glanced at Gu Ping and said nothing, only patted him gently on the shoulder.

Then, the group continued to move forward.

We entered the state capital through the side door, so we did n’t have to go through the official residence in front, and after walking along a gray wall for a while, we saw a circular arch. After that door, we entered the state capital directly. The second half is where we enjoy the flowers.

Although it can be regarded as the capital of Yangzhou, it is more like an ordinary garden, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, only to see it in this way. Everywhere, Jiangnan's gentle and gentle charm is displayed. There is also a living water in this garden, but it is not limited to this garden, and the garden does not completely rely on this water. It appears from time to time, like a naughty little girl hiding and hiding in the garden, always in the forest. The most delicate part of the garden shows its agility.

Therefore, we had it when we entered the door. We could hear its sound when we passed the corridor. We felt its warmness when we passed the rockery. In the end, this living water converged in a half-moon-shaped pond in the center of the park. The water pavilion is not only spacious, but also transparent on all sides, which seems to be a good place to go.

And all around, flowers.

Peony paeonia lactiflora, spring begonia, and even a little further away there are peach blossoms, clusters of crimson, trees and white, looking at them as if they are in the ocean of flowers, and the bees fly and dance incessantly, The breeze scented with floral scent and was more pleasant.

Lier could not help but startled: "Wow, what a beautiful flower!"

Pei Yuanzhang laughed: "Do you like it?"

"Ok!"

She nodded her head vigorously, and could not help but ran to the side. There is a large peony flower garden, a large and beautiful peony dotted with green flowers and leaves woven into a green ocean, especially Eye-catching, look away from here, look at there again, and said in surprise: "So beautiful!"

Although the branches and leaves of these flowers are dense, we can still see a winding road that is paved with bluestone slabs and slowly stretches into the distance in the flowers. We walk slowly along this path, along the way I saw countless branches and green leaves, tender stamens and thick flowers, and even the corners of my skirt would have been stained with various pollen. As I walked down, the bee butterflies fluttered around my feet.

I watched in front of me bouncing, leaving like a bunny, couldn't help smiling, and reached out and wiped my forehead.

Pei Yuanzhang immediately turned back and said, "Why, tired?"

I'm not used to talking to me so tenderly, and the words are full of concern, but watching Lier stop and staring at us both, I just calmly said, "Well, there are a little."

Speaking, he wiped his forehead subconsciously.

At this time, the sun was already full. With the slight burning feeling on the human face, I walked away for a while under the sun, and my forehead and cheeks were red. Pei Yuanzhang said, "Then go to Shuixie and take a rest."

I hesitated and looked at Lier again.

He said, "Just rest assured, I'll stay with Lili for a while, and come over to rest."

I thought for a while, but nodded, and told me, "Don't let her play too long. Today's weather is a bit sultry, and I'm afraid she's going to have a heat stroke."

I don't know why, when I heard him say that, he seemed very happy, his eyes were bent and he smiled, and then he turned around and instructed the servants who were far behind us and said, "Send my wife. Rest over the waterside and get ready for refreshments. "

"Yes."

I glanced at them again and turned around to follow the attendants.

Gu Ping also followed me to Shuixie. As soon as I sat down, someone set up a long table by the chair and brought refreshments.

It was transparent on all sides, and the breeze blew with the coolness of the water. After a while, the heat was extinguished. I sat on the chair and watched the leafy surroundings. From a distance, Pei Yuanzhang brought As Lier walked around the flowers, the two seemed to be talking happily, and Lier said a long list of crisp laughter.

In this way, the two of them are really the most ordinary father and daughter, and there is no difference between any family in the world.

I looked up and saw Gu Ping standing behind me, eyes staring forward.

In his eyes, there was endless sadness.

He must have remembered his father and his former family.

I sighed and said softly, "Pinger, you can sit down and rest for a while."

As soon as he heard it, he quickly shook his head: "No, I don't sit!"

I didn't force him, just poured a cup of tea and handed it to him. He hesitated again and again, but picked it up, but didn't drink it immediately. Instead, he looked at Pei Yuanzhang and Lier in the distance, and said for a while, and said: "I didn't expect that Lier's identity turned out to be a princess."

He said, and turned to look at me again: "Aunt Qing is--"

"..."

"At that time, Aunt Qing had just arrived at my house. Although your face was broken and people looked very poor, the mother told us that Aunt Qing must be an extraordinary woman. Ordinary people are so poor that their face is bad. It's been a long time since I blame the sky, or I'm looking for life, but Aunt Qing doesn't. "

"..."

"Now I want to come, my mother is right."

I smiled slightly.

But with a bit of bitterness in the smile, Qilian said that I was extraordinary, but no matter how extraordinary I was, I couldn't escape my fate. No matter how extraordinary, I couldn't even help their family escape the disaster.

Thinking of this, I looked around. After the servants brought things, they exited the water pavilion, and even the guards were guarding on both sides of the embankment. Only Pinger was standing beside me, and I said softly: " How are you doing at the barracks? "

He nodded well. "Good."

"Still practicing every day? Tired?"

"I'm not tired if I get used to it, and I feel uncomfortable even if I don't practice for a day." He smiled, his face showing a little sorrow of satisfaction, and said, "I was a centurion before, and recently recruited many recruits. It ’s all me leading, they all call me Xiaodu Tong. "

I smiled slightly: "Recruited a lot of recruits?"

"Well, it started years ago."

"Year ago ..."

I just felt that my chest sank, as if a boulder was heavily pressed against my chest.

Gu Ping also seemed to feel that my breathing was a little short, looked down at me, and said gently, "Aunt Qing, what's wrong?"

I glanced at him. I wanted to make a reluctant smile, but found that I was a bit weak, and I could n’t even make a perfunctory smile. I just shook my head gently: "I'm fine, maybe it's too hot . "

As soon as he heard it, he hurriedly fanned me with his sleeves in his hands.

Feeling a faint breeze blowing across my face, I looked up at him and smiled slightly.

"Pinger is really a good boy."

He blushed a little: "Aunt Qing, I'm not a child anymore."

I laughed: "Yeah, I almost forgot, in fact, you have grown up." He is no longer the innocent and innocent young boy who experienced the great changes in his family. He is now fully mature and can be called It's a boy.

"Aunt Qing believes that you will also be a good man. If you marry a wife and have children in the future, they will definitely make them well and happy."

He chuckled smirkly, scratched the back of his head, and said, "I don't have time to think about those. I want to do good things now, earn more money, and when I have a family--"

I laughed: "How?"

He froze for a moment, seeing that I was looking at him with a smile, and suddenly the ears were red, and he no longer spoke, so he carefully fanned me.

I smiled.

In fact, he is still a very simple young man, earn more money, have a family, and then marry a wife and have a child, then it will be a stable home, I am also very happy to see that he has such a mind.

However, I wonder if the world can give him such a peaceful world.

This is especially the case when Jiangnan began to send more troops.

My smile is still on my face, but my eyes have fainted slightly, and at this moment, a laugh came from the side, we turned around and looked, Pei Yuanzhang had taken away, both of them were sweating profusely Came over, Lier saw me sitting here, immediately ran over happily, and laughed: "Mother, brother Ping, what are you talking about, so happy to talk?"

I held her in my arms, and gently wiped the sweat that condensed on her chin with a handkerchief, and laughed, "My mother is asking your brother, when will you be married, and when will you have a baby."

"Ah? Brother Ping wants to get married?" When Lier heard it, he immediately turned his head and looked at Gu Ping with an excited look: "What kind of bride is Brother Ping going to marry?"

Gu Ping was flushed with this topic, and at first sight Lier asked him that, he was at a loss, and stuttered for a long time before he laughed: "Where is Lier, what kind of husband does Lier want to marry? ?"
