Originally, this village was called Houying Village.

As the sun set, the afterglow shone on these children, and I seemed to see what their future would look like.

"We're from Weak Water Town, it's getting late, and we want to come and spend the night. ”

He didn't seem to believe it and kept looking at us.

Seeing him frowning solemnly, Xiao Chuan was amused by the child. Unexpectedly, this stimulated the boy, and he said angrily, "What are you laughing at?"

At this time, a woman ran behind him, and she shouted, "Chen Qi! What are you doing?"

The boy looked back and said, "Mother, we caught two suspicious people!"

The woman ran to us, looked at us, and then pulled the child named Chen Qi to her side, and asked us with a smile, "The child is not sensible, don't be surprised by the two girls." Oh, where are you from?"

I also replied, "We're from Weakwater." It's getting late, and I want to stay here for the night. ”

The woman laughed and said, "I see. My man is not at home when he goes to the front, so you can live in my house. ”

We were overjoyed to hear this and hurriedly thanked us. The woman pulled Chen Qi again and said, "Apologize quickly!"

Chen Qi obediently gave us a bow and said, "I'm sorry. ”

I hugged Chen Qi and said, "It's okay." ”

The woman said, "Let's go." It's right in front. She also pointed to a house with lights on.

When I entered the house, there was a charcoal basin in the middle of the house, and the charcoal in it was red, and the whole room was warm.

The woman said: "My husband's surname is Chen, a few days ago he just rotated to Yingtian City to guard the city, I and my son at home, my mother has been sick recently, I can take care of my mother and can't control him, I can control him and I can't take care of my mother, alas." What a offense today. ”

I shook my head and said, "I think you have the demeanor of a general. ”

Mrs. Chen smiled, "What kind of general demeanor does a child have!"

It seems that Mrs. Chen has great hopes for Chen Qi, but what parent does not hope that their son will become a dragon and their daughter will become a phoenix.

"Haven't you asked the two girls their last names?" continued Mrs. Chen.

"Don't give your surname An, this is my sister, just call Xiao Chuan. ”

"Miss An, Miss Xiao Chuan, you sit down, I'll serve the meal. ”

After Mrs. Chen finished speaking, she went to the kitchen, and Xiao Chuan and I were left in the room, as well as Chen Qi, who had been watching us.

When I saw him looking at us, I accosted, "Do you want to be a general?"

Chen Qi nodded.

"Have you figured out what to do in the future?"

"I want to grow up quickly, and then go to Yingtian City to be a soldier, I want to fight back the Jing army and defend the country!" Chen Qi said proudly.

"You're ambitious!" I complimented.

At this time, Mrs. Chen had already returned from the meal, and she heard our conversation and said with a smile: "It is the wish of every child here to go to Yingtian City as a soldier to defend the country. ”

Hearing this, I was inexplicably moved, "The people's hearts are invincible!"

Chen Qi also became excited when he heard this, and he shouted: "Invincible!"

Mrs. Chen pulled Chen Qi to sit down and said, "Let's eat." ”

The Chen family's tutor is very good, which can be seen from Chen Qi, but after all, he is young and vigorous, and if he grows up, he may really be a pillar of talent.

After dinner, Chen Qi consciously went to the back room to study, and we chatted with Mrs. Chen.

Speaking of Emperor An and Prince An, Mrs. Chen seemed to be a little worried, she lowered her voice and said: "The emperor has been building a lot of construction in the past two days, and he has been elected to the fourth concubine of Pingle Qingxin, to say a big disrespectful word, although the country is getting stronger and stronger, but the world is undecided, the Son of Heaven should advance and retreat with Li Min, and if this happens, I am afraid it will chill people's hearts." ”

Xiao Chuan said: "The emperor is nearly fifty years old, why do you still choose a concubine?"

"I heard that the four concubines of Pingle Qingxin have their own family backgrounds, Concubine Ping is the little princess of Pingluo Kingdom, and has been fostered in Prince Rong's house, Concubine Le is the daughter of the general stationed in Nansai, Concubine Qing is the daughter of the prince of the previous dynasty, and Concubine Xin is the second lady of Aoyunzhuang, the largest wine merchant in Anguo. ”

In this way, it is reasonable for the emperor to accept these four concubines. I said lightly.

Mrs. Chen's brows were still frowning, "It's okay for the emperor to do this, but being the crown prince is actually a lover." He and the Ming family, who respected the country, were not clear, and finally married into the East Palace, but they ran away. Now the prince is extremely fond of the side concubine Li, the Li family is stained, but the eldest lady of the Li family died without happiness, and after the second lady of the Li family became the head of the house, her brother donated a prefect, and did all kinds of evil in Luzhou, and no one dared to do anything to him, but my neighbor fled from Yizhou, which was really a sin. ”

I didn't expect that the Li family still had so many things, and now, she is the only one in the East Palace who is favored, and her claws may have stretched to the position of the crown princess.

"If the future emperor is mediocre and ruthless, will the soldiers of Ying Tiancheng still defend their home and country without hesitation?"

Mrs. Chen shook her head, "It's hard to say. Perhaps, though, after all, our home is here. ”

I nodded, didn't say anything more, and was thinking about something to each other. Mrs. Chen is not like an ordinary village woman, perhaps it is the environment in which she grew up that raised this heroine-like woman.

"Where are you going?" Perhaps the atmosphere was a little depressing, and Mrs. Chen spoke again.

"Let's go to Jingguo. ”

Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment, "Are you from respecting the country?"

"We're from Weak Water. This time I escaped from marriage, and I was not afraid of being found by them if I wanted to go to Jingguo. I replied as I had made up.

"I see. But I'm afraid you won't be able to go. In recent months, the Jing army has been trying to provoke war on the border, and the only gate from Yingtian City to Jingguo has been closed. ”

"How can this be?"

"It is said that when the crown princess's elder brother, King Nanning, came to Anguo on the crown princess's birthday, he saw that his sister was not happy, and it seemed that he was robbed of the limelight by Concubine Li, so he naturally didn't want to. ”

In this way, the importance of the crown princess to An Jing and the two kingdoms is self-evident. ”

"yes. I hope the prince can focus on the overall situation. ”

"Now that the Li family favors the harem, I hope that the Ming family will go back to the East Palace, the two tigers will compete with each other, and the one who will benefit is the crown princess. ”

"If it's good, I'm afraid it's not possible. ”

"Why do you say that?"

Mrs. Chen shook her head and said, "It is said that a few months ago, King Jingguo Dong'an also married a princess of the Ming family. ”

"What?" I don't understand the relationship anymore.

"The Xing is also Jiang's, and the death is also Ming's. Mrs. Chen sighed.

At this time, Chen Qi walked up and said: "Mother, why do you say that the world is promising, and the country is in the people?"

Mrs. Chen smiled, "The Qingming monarch leads millions of subjects, the world is peaceful, and the loyal subjects do their part, and the country is very fortunate." ”

Mrs. Chen is really knowledgeable and well-informed, thinking that Chen Qi grew up in such an environment, and the long road ahead will definitely not be wrong.

The candlelight echoes the bright moon, and the mother's kindness and filial piety under the lamp reminds me of my mother. After such a long time, I don't know what my parents will be in a hurry if they can't find me.

When will I be able to go home?
