Chapter Thirty-Eight
Liu Yixuan and Master Yuan left the city to meet the enemy and returned with great victory. The soldiers of the army cheered and their morale was greatly boosted.
The promotion had already been happy to go to the mansion to report to Liu Anguo. Liu Anguo didn't believe it at first, but then he heard the cheers of the people outside the mansion, and believed that the Song army had indeed won the battle.
Liu Yixuan rode back to the mansion, and along the way, he heard the praises from the people on the streets, and felt proud. After entering the mansion, he went to his parents' room to pay his respects.
Mrs. Fan hurried up and pulled him up and down to look at it, and said worriedly: "Xuan'er, how can you go out of the city to fight? Do you know how worried Wei Mom is? If something goes wrong, how can I live!" As she said that, she started crying again.
"Mom, it's okay, I know it. Besides, I didn't go out alone, and there are brothers Yuan and Zichun, don't worry!" Liu Yixuan comforted with a smile.
"How can you not worry? Don't show off again in the future. War is not just a joke. You are the only one in our family!" Mrs. Fan instructed.
"Okay, why are you crying? Isn't Xuan'er okay?" Liu Anguo shouted sternly.
Liu Yixuan hurriedly came over to pay his respects to Liu Anguo. Liu Anguo looked at him. He was also gentle and handsome. He had a sense of righteousness in his eyebrows. He was definitely not a cynical child. After all, he could not love him? Although he often beat and scolded him on weekdays, he was still very sorry for him. Today, he saw that he was not afraid of danger and sacrificed his life to serve the country. He said, "I heard that today you and Teacher Yuan went out to meet the enemy. He defeated the enemy's arrogance, and he was happy for you."
After hearing this, Liu Yixuan felt happy, "I didn't expect that this old man would praise his son, it's really new. I have been to their house for so many days and have never seen him have any good face. It seems that I have to prove myself with facts and not let this old guy underestimate me." He quickly said with a smile: "This is all the credit of Teacher Yuan. He killed the general of Jin Kingdom, and I just scolded them a few words."
"I didn't say it was your credit! It's just that you can stay calm in front of the two armies. Although our Liu family is not from a general, we have never been a greedy person who is afraid of death. You know the truth that "every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world." I am deeply pleased!" Liu Anguo said.
"Don't worry, father, I will never be a person who is greedy for life and fears death!" Liu Yixuan said sternly.
Liu Anguo nodded with satisfaction and asked him to go back to his room to rest. Liu Anguo fell into deep thought. He felt that his child would eventually grow up. If he had been in the mansion all day, it would only make him grow spoiled. It would be better to let him go to the military camp to experience it, not to ask him to make achievements, but to just ask him to get rid of the childishness on his face as soon as possible and be a steady and mature real man. By then, he would be satisfied and worry-free.
Liu Yixuan left her parents' room and went straight to the courtyard to the east to see Ling'er. These ****s ran to the city tower to watch the fun every day, and didn't play well with her, so they returned to the mansion and ran over to see her.
Liu Yixuan entered the courtyard gate and saw that the light had already been lit in the Ling'er room. He heard the room talking and laughing, and hurried in and said, "What are you talking about? You're so happy?"
When Ling'er saw him coming in, she immediately pulled her face down, pouted her mouth, and ignored him.
"What's wrong again? I, I didn't offend you, right? You just came in and you looked at me?" Liu Yixuan looked aggrieved.
Ling'er glanced at him and hummed.
Liu Yixuan couldn't understand what she meant, so he asked the maid Zhu Lian next to him: "What's wrong with your princess? I heard talking and laughing just now, why did you put down your face when you see me?"
Zhu Lian smiled and said, "I don't understand this yet. Our princess is angry with you!"
"I'm angry with me, what's wrong with me?"
Zhu Lian said, "These ****s don't come with the princess to play with you, and you won't see you all day long. The princess feels that it's not interesting and is about to pack up and return to the palace!"
"Oh, so that's how it is. I can't blame me. These days, the Jin soldiers besieged the city, and all the men in the city have gone to defend the city. I want to play with my sister and have no time to play with me. When the Jin soldiers are defeated, I will play with you!" Liu Yixuan comforted Ling'er with a good voice, but he didn't know whether he could successfully defeat the Jin soldiers.
Ling'er was not angry at all, and when he heard him talk about defending the city, he was also full of gratitude. After all, the Song Dynasty was from their Zhao family. His father and brother were still the monarchs of the Song Dynasty. When he heard that Liu Yixuan was going to defend the city, he had no resentment, so he lowered his head and said nothing.
Liu Yixuan felt uncomfortable when she saw that she was unhappy on her face. After all, this sister was only sixteen years old and a princess again. She shouldn't have too many worries at the age of naiveness and caressing her.
"I said, "I'm really angry with me?" No, I made great contributions today. Even your emperor brother wants to reward me!" Liu Yixuan said with a smile.
"Is that true? What kind of achievements can you achieve?" Ling'er asked with a glance at him.
"Of course yes, it was me who took the initiative to ask for orders to go out of the city to meet the enemy today, which defeated the Jin soldiers' arrogance! Of course, not all of this credit is mine, mainly due to coach Yuan and Zichun and others. Lord Li also wants to ask for credit for us! I guess I have to be appointed as a fourth-rank or fifth-rank official to do it!" Liu Yixuan was proud.
Ling'er asked him quickly: "Have the Jin soldiers retreated?"
"This seems not yet. The Liao King is preparing to attack the city. It is estimated that they will come here on a large scale in a few days."
"What should I do? If the Jin soldiers conquered Bianliang, would they kill us?" Ling'er became worried.
"It's hard to say about this. The Jin soldiers are all cruel and are all a bunch of beasts. If they really attack in, I don't know what will happen!" Liu Yixuan felt terrified when he thought of this.
"You can do it well? Haven't you ever said that you know the ending of Da Song? Why is it hard to say now?"
"I...I...I...I said before, don't you believe it? Why did you ask me this again?" Liu Yixuan did tell Ling'er about the demise of the Song Dynasty, and any allusions of "Jingkang Shame". However, Ling'er only thought he was nonsense, but it was not until the Jin soldiers besieged Bianliang that Ling'er began to believe Liu Yixuan's "prophecy".
"I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it, just tell me." Ling'er really wanted to know what the ending of the Song Dynasty would be. Even if Liu Yixuan's predictions were all fake, she wanted to be mentally prepared for the unknown fate.
"Do you really want to hear it? I'm afraid you may not believe me if I say it, so you'd better stop talking." Liu Yixuan said with a smile.
"Just say it, I want to hear it!" Ling'er begged.
"Okay OK, this is a long story, but I have to tell you who I am first."
"Who are you? Aren't you the son of your aunt, the young master of the Liu family?" Ling'er replied in confusion.
"Wrong, a big mistake! I am the young master of the Liu family on the surface, but I am not. Do you still remember the picture "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" I asked you before?"
"Remember, you said you must see it with your own eyes!" Ling'er said.
"Yes, I came to your Song Dynasty after peeking at that damn painting. In fact, I am a person over 800 years later. My original name is 'Zhao Xiaojian'. I have the same surname as you. I may have traveled over time. Do you understand 'time travel'? It's just running back to the previous era!" Liu Yixuan told his life experience seriously, but Ling'er became less and less convinced.
"Time travel? You are more than 800 years later? Then aren't we your ancestors?" Ling'er smiled happily.
"Hey, you little girl! I won't tell you anymore!"
"This is what you said yourself. Is it the same surname as our family or someone eight hundred years later? Then what are we not your ancestors?" Ling'er laughed and was amused by his words.
Liu Yixuan took a deep breath and said helplessly: "You are right to say that. This "Hundred Family Surnames" can rank 'Zhao' first, thanks to your ancestors. But... stop laughing, I won't tell you anymore!" Liu Yixuan saw her making unreasonable trouble, and quickly stopped him.
"Okay, I won't laugh anymore, don't laugh anymore, you can continue talking." Ling'er held back her laughter and asked him to continue talking.
"But," Liu Yixuan continued, "but your family's country is about to be lost, because the historical books of our era recorded the demise of the Song Dynasty, which was called the 'Jingkang Incident'. Is Jingkang the current year name, right?" Liu Yixuan wanted to tell her about the miserable end of the two emperors Hui and Qin being captured and all members of the royal family became slaves of the Jin people, but he really couldn't bear to see her sad appearance, so he stopped talking about it.
Ling'er was originally half-believing and half-doubted about his words. He was even more unwilling to believe what the demise of the Song Dynasty said. However, he was very interested in Liu Yixuan's origin, so he asked him: "Do you say you came from the era more than 800 years later? Is it better for our Song Dynasty or your era?"
"Of course it's our era. What are you? The evil old society!" Liu Yixuan seemed disdainful of everything in front of him.
"I don't believe it. Is there any difference between your era and the Song Dynasty?" Ling'er asked him.
"There are too many different things. Food, clothing, housing, and transportation are all different. They are completely beyond your imagination. If you want to go, you can't even think of it even if you want to lose your head!"
"Is that so magical? What did your daughters wear at home in that era?" Ling'er asked.
When Liu Yixuan heard this, he thought to himself: "This woman always cares about what she wears most. You don't ask about food, accommodation, and transportation. First of all, she asks what she wears. Oh, it seems that this problem has been around since ancient times, and it is due to nature!" So he smiled and said, "Well, the girls of our era dressed very differently than you now, and it can be said that they are completely different."
"What's the difference? Tell me quickly!" Ling'er asked him curiously.
"This, first of all, I don't wear much more than you. Look at you, and your maids, wearing such a long skirt, wrapped so tightly, and there is no way to see the beauty of the lines. The girls of our era only had skirts, clothes only had collars, and the collars were open!" Liu Yixuan gesturing on Ling'er while saying, and he became more and more excited. Ling'er's face turned red when he heard his words, thinking that he was talking nonsense and deliberately bullying himself.
"You, you**! Just make up some lies to lie to me, I want to tell my aunt to go!" Ling'er said angrily, and was about to walk outside again.
Liu Yixuan quickly stopped her and said, "You asked me to say it well, why are you blaming me again now?"
"It was me who asked you to say it correctly. Then you can't say these shameless words. People are in a bad mood, but they are still bullied and played with by you like this!" As they said that, they were about to cry.
"Oh, this... this, this is considered bullying? Why am I? Didn't you just tell me? You won't get married in the future? It's really, too conservative!" Liu Yixuan was shocked by her reaction. It was said that ancient girls had conservative thoughts, but they could not be so conservative either.
"If you talk nonsense, I will tell my uncle to go, and I will never come to your house again!" Ling'er cried and wanted to go out.
"Okay, okay, stop making trouble, is it my fault again? Isn't it okay to accompany you?" Liu Yixuan quickly winked at the Zhujian next to him. Zhujian also went up to persuade Ling'er, "Princess, don't be angry, Mr. Liu has apologized for you, right? You can forgive him!"
Ling'er glanced at him, ignored him, and sat on the chair next to her. Liu Yixuan felt very uncomfortable when she saw her angry look. He didn't know why he felt this way, nor why his mood changed with the joy, anger, sorrow and happiness of the girl in front of him. He didn't mean to make Ling'er angry, but he didn't fully understand the thoughts and words that a girl born in such an era could accept. He began to realize his mistakes, and his heart was full of guilt. He regretted what he said, which made the cute sister in front of him so unhappy, so he walked up to her to comfort her.
"I know my sister is in a bad mood these days. When we went out to play that day, you heard the discussions of many people in the city, and her face changed suddenly. I also know that you are very sad. I shouldn't have said those words to you at that time, and I have caused so many worries to you. It's all my fault. In fact, I still want to see you laugh happily every day. Good girl, whether you believe it or not, I did come from another space of time. At first I thought you were so bored here. I really wanted to go back early, but
,Do you know, since I met you in the palace last time, I feel that I have not been in vain for the Song Dynasty. You look really beautiful when you smile, and I won’t lie to you! When I heard your mother say that you want to come to our house to live for a few days, I won’t mention how happy I am. Although I don’t know when I will go back, I want to see your smile every day here, and I don’t know why. Every time I see you happy, I will be very happy, so don’t be angry with me anymore, okay?”
After hearing his words, Ling'er looked at him blankly. There were waves of warm currents in her heart, slowly spreading to her whole body. This was a feeling she had never seen before. This feeling had never appeared for her father and mother, or her brothers and sisters. She felt that the brother in front of her was different from all her relatives, and a kind of inexplicable warmth made her not know what to say.
When Liu Yixuan saw her looking at her foolishly, her eyes were still crying, and she couldn't help but feel unbearable. She hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe her tears and whispered: "What's wrong? I'm still angry with me. Don't cry anymore. If I cry again, I won't be beautiful!"
Ling'er hurriedly took the handkerchief and wiped her tears by herself, and kept sobbing. Liu Yixuan smiled and said, "Good girl, just forgive me. If you don't forgive me, I will definitely not be able to sleep well at night. If I can't sleep well, I will arrive on the battlefield tomorrow, if I will..."
"You are not allowed to talk nonsense!" Ling'er quickly stopped his mouth and looked angry.
"Hehe, I mean... It would be bad if I dozed off tomorrow and I was kicked by Teacher Yuan!" Liu Yixuan said with a smile.
After hearing this, Ling'er laughed "Puchi" and no longer got angry with him. Liu Yixuan smiled when she saw Ling'er breaking her face, and knew that she was no longer sad, so she also smirked. After all, can the two of them be together? Let's wait for the following text.
