Chapter 540 Mrs. Wu
Since Guan Huizhi left Tokyo City, this is the first time Xie Jingyi has come to General Wu's mansion.
During the period when the empress dowager was planning to rebel, Mrs. Wu became sick just right and went to the suburbs to recuperate for a long time, and only recently returned to the mansion.
Xie Jingyi picked up the fishing rod. This was the third big fish she caught this morning.
Mrs. Wu, who was sitting beside her hat, clapped her hands happily, "This one is good, this one is good, this one is lively and active at first glance. Look at the tail that is flapping, how flexible! I will eat this one today."
"The two in front are not good. The head is covered with dark clouds, and it is not suitable for eating on auspicious days. The second one is as fat as something, and the belly is like a pig's belly. It's lazy at first glance."
"The diligent fish has a compact and elastic meat. The lazy fish has a meat like porridge and has no taste when chewed."
Xie Jingyi obediently put the fish into the fish bucket, stretched her neck, and looked at the fish pond of Mrs. Wu. No... it can't be called a fish pond, it should be called a fish tank... It's not that the pond is small, but that there are so many fish here.
The fishing rod was put on, and it was like a concubine who was scrambling to be turned on by the government...
"You are definitely talking nonsense! Any fish that leaves the water and is hooked, will rush straight. If it is put into a pot and fryes, it will jump out." Xie Jingyi said, put away the fishing rod, handed it to the honeysuckle beside her, and then held Mrs. Wu's hand.
"I see that today's sun is almost sunny. It's a coincidence that it meets your eyes."
When Mrs. Wu heard this, she raised her head and laughed.
Her hair was completely white, not even a single piece of color, her skin was a little darker, and she obviously did not have enough sunbathing. When she smiled, she showed her neat teeth that were rarely seen at this age.
The laughter was buzzing, full of energy, and he looked healthy and was a man who wanted to live a long life.
"You won't go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. You are a busy man. Why don't you come to give this Mid-Autumn Festival gift yourself? Tell me, what's the matter? Our generals are so arrogant. Is it because of my kid who caused trouble outside?"
Xie Jingyi smiled, "You said this, I was so ashamed that I wanted to get into the pile of fish. But it was indeed something."
Mrs. Wu knew that Xie Jingyi was brought into the elegant room and sent everyone who served him, "But it's okay."
Xie Jingyi nodded, "Do you know Xu Ya?"
Mrs. Wu smiled and said, "But what happened to Xiao Si? Xu Ya's grandfather, named Xu Ming, had been under the old man's hands for a long time ago. I had just married into the Wu family not long ago."
"Later, Xu Ming's foot was injured. When he walked, he was slightly bumpy. It was not a big deal, but someone from his hometown said he had a good marriage to him. Xu Ming chose to go back. We are not the ones who will cut off our future."
"The old man wrote a letter, pushed people to the local area, and gave him an errand to support his family. The iron-killed general, the flowing personal soldiers, and the old man's personal soldiers changed one after another. Later, the journey was long, so we didn't pay attention to it."
Xie Jingyi looked at Mrs. Wu with a little surprise.
Sure enough, no old fox who has become a spirit is not powerful.
She mentioned Xu Ya's name, and Mrs. Wu immediately understood what she wanted to know and didn't say, but she also thought of Wu Sihu directly.
"You still have an impression of his marriage. Who was the old general's letter of recommendation to? Where was it?"
Mrs. Wu frowned, "After many years, please let me think about it slowly."
Xie Jingyi's eyes moved and she reminded her slightly, "But you go south?"
Mrs. Wu clapped her hands, "Yes, yes, yes, I remembered it. My old man also likes fishing. At that time, he also said that he envied Xu Ming and could fish in the river in the future and fish in puffer fish."
"That's right, right, next to the Yangtze River... After saying this, I remembered that Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou and had no return. Then Xu Ming went to Jingzhou. Yes, Jingzhou is right!"
"As for his marriage, I have no impression of it. He didn't say it carefully. He just vaguely remembered that he was a daughter from a blacksmith and was quite compatible with Wu Fuzi. What happened? I repeatedly reminded Sihu and asked him to stay away from Xu Ya, but he didn't listen?"
Mrs. Wu said, "It's not an old woman, I'm a shameless person. If you enter the palace, you will be the woman of the official family. He is an imperial guard. If you are involved with the woman of the official family, you will become a problem even if you have nothing to do."
"I know naturally that my grandchildren, except for the Five Tigers, may become wise generals, I can't praise the others... The Four Tigers's scrupulous eyes are thicker than the old locust tree in front of my house!"
"Even a rabbit entered the palace, stirred it in the dyeing vat for a few times, and then jumped out and became a vixen! Tiger and fox, how did you say the word "Fox is fake and tiger power?"
"Our Wu family just wants to defend the country peacefully and concentrate on serving the government. That's enough. If the Four Hus do anything, you can discipline him for me and make him fall a big fuss before you know what the world is."
Xie Jingyi listened and laughed, "You are treating me as a soundtrack today!"
Mrs. Wu also laughed and pushed the tray on the table. There were cut melons inside. Unlike ordinary wealthy families, they were cut very finely and poked with a silver hairpin.
This melon was cut a few randomly and kept the skin.
Xie Jingyi picked up a piece and took a bite.
"Because the one who came today is not Xie San, but the commander of the Black Feather Guard. The old woman is not loyal at this moment, so when will she go? If you talk about this, your grandfather is a dragon and a phoenix among people."
Mrs. Wu said, and also picked up a piece of melon, "Since you are here to ask today, you are still in the mood to fish. I think that idiot from my house has not caused any big trouble yet, and you still have time to make up for the loss."
"The children in our military generals are so pretty, they are not afraid of falling. As long as they don't fall to death, that's enough."
Xie Jingyi smiled and nodded, "Xie San understands. Huizhi has a letter? I have a caravan. I will go to the border in a few days. Do you have anything to bring? Before the end of this month, I will ask someone to send it to me, and I will ask someone to take it with me."
When the old lady Wu heard this, she didn't mention Wu Sihu anymore and looked surprised, "That's great. She is a child who says it's rough, but she is actually used to it. Which one of the mattresses she sleeps in and covers is not a good material?"
"I went to the military camp, slept in the tent, and ate grass roots, but I didn't know if she could bear it. She was so tough that she was afraid of crying secretly. I didn't know that she must be the leader when she went to the battlefield, and I was anxious to prove myself."
