Chapter 221: Homesickness

Jingnan City is built by the river, located in the key place of Yan Fu to the Yin country, although the two countries are not feuded, but it does not hinder each other's commercial activities, which is why since Jingnan City was captured by the Yin army in the past few years, there are still Yan merchants in the territory of the Yin country, merchants come and go endlessly, iron ore is a very rare ore in Yan Fu, so that they often use their own tea and porcelain to exchange iron ore with the border mine owners of the Yin country, and even there is no lack of Yan Fu gorgeous women to trade, there must be brave men under the heavy money, the Yin Emperor is deeply disgusted by this, but this huge smuggling gap can not be filled。

On the contrary, the market here in Jingnan City is very lively, these days there are a lot of soldiers patrolling around in the city, if it is placed here in normal times, it is rare to have soldiers, Chu Xianzhao took Ye Weiwei to a square stone platform to rest, the white wolf turned over lazily at Chu Xianzhao's feet, how can there be the momentum of the giant wolf who killed the ice field, and those yellow dogs that were born and raised in the village are very different, many children living in Jingnan City chase and play on the stone platform, learning to tie the wooden sword around the waist of the swordsman of the rivers and lakes, Chu Xianzhao watched the children's play with great interest.

They also formed gangs and shouted at each other, the little fat dun at the head was dressed in expensive brocade clothes, and he also wore a green leather round hat on his head, and carried a well-made bow and crossbow on his back, looking at the tiger's head, and the subordinates behind him were all holding unedged iron swords, this group of leather children must be the rich people in the family, but the children opposite them were unevenly equipped, holding stones in their hands, holding wooden daggers, wooden sticks, and the most well-equipped one was also holding a worn wooden sword, not to be outdone, and could fight at any time.

Chu Xianzhao hugged Tantai Ningning from his sore neck and put it on his knees, the little princess didn't have any interest in fighting and killing like this, but she just felt that what Chu Xianzhao liked must be very interesting. They follow the rules of the rivers and lakes, they have to report their own names before fighting, and some will also report their father's name, and then they will scold each other, belittle each other as shit, or praise themselves first, and then scold each other for shit, which is just a child's play. Chu Xuanzhao has really seen countless duels of swordsmanship masters, when he was a child, those masters in Lin'an City would not be so shouting before the duel, as early as the Lotus Square set up a platform to sign the life and death certificate, and finally the gambling house or the pawnshop owner attracted the crowd to watch and cheer, and even invited the Qinglou to dance in the competition field before the duel, which attracted the audience to applaud loudly.

Chu Xianzhao looked at them and smiled subconsciously, the past passed by like a horse watching the lamp, when he was a child, his playmate before he met Helian in the first year was his brother, the two brothers often held wooden swords in the martial arts arena, the palace maids and sisters liked to watch the two princes fight, but the sister held the scriptures with a disdainful face, and sometimes couldn't stand it and ran to snatch the wooden sword in his hand, and asked himself how to be the first in the world in swordsmanship, he pouted the corners of his mouth and twisted his fingers and said that he wanted to be a hero, and his sister sneered and said that those bastards on the rivers and lakes all want to be like you, enjoy glory and wealth, you little fool wants to be them, he picked up the wooden sword and stubbornly said that he wanted to be a hero, not a prince, so angry that his sister didn't talk to him for several days.

Later, he went to Li Changyuan to teach himself to practice swords, determined to practice the first in the world to show his sister, he had to be stubborn when he was young, and recognized one thing that ten cows couldn't pull back, Li Changyuan was his first swordsmanship teacher, until Li Changyuan died in the battle of Xilin, he learned to strike instantly, and then it was Guan Changye who taught himself to learn a sword red dragon, and also left him to go back to Xilin, and now the only person who can make him call the teacher is Hua Youyue, the teacher is like a mountain, no matter what Hua Youyue has done in the past, Chu Xianzhao always respects her。

Chu Xianzhao touched the quiet hair of the Tai Tai full of contradictions, Hua Youyue had slandered her father many times in front of her by being drunk, she said that her father was actually a child with a burned brain like herself, and she launched a war endlessly for the desire to conquer in her heart, and after the war ended, the Yin army took away a lot of treasures and women, but she did not have the courage to face the pain of the defeated army's broken families and the separation of wives, war has never been an interesting thing, among them, Hua Youyue is a character full of contradictions like herself, no matter whether the war launched by her father is right or wrong, her responsibilities as a descendant must be carried out, so what about herAnd what was the reason for her entering the battlefield? I may never know.

After the fall of Jingnan City, the Yin army burned the city for ten days, and then spent a lot of money in the treasury to spend two years to rebuild the city, after experiencing the inevitable turmoil, there are countless Yan Fu people in the city Long Tail were killed tragedy, after such a round of blood massacre, this has created today's stable situation, those who survived, did not dare to rebel Yan Fu people are grateful for the benevolence of the Yin Emperor on the surface, but secretly still hope that their emperor can lead the army to take down the city, thus liberating them。

My father has been to Jingnan City twice, once after the fall of Jingnan City, he drove south to see the land conquered by his army, once after the death of Nangong Weber, he came to mourn his courtiers with grief, no matter which time came, everywhere was the crowd of people who knelt on the ground under the black pressure, no matter how wise the king, at a glance it was impossible to judge which people kneeling at his feet were loyal and who were traitors, who held flowers in their hands, and who hid daggers in their hands!

Ye Weiwei hugged the white wolf on his lap, for fear that the white wolf would disappear if he rolled it, the white wolf Maomao grew up with her since he was a child, if this one accidentally disappeared into the crowd, she would have to cry to death.

Chu Xianzhao pinched the little princess's face, looked at the round wolf on Ye Weiwei's legs, and couldn't cry or laugh: "If you feed it another meal and eat four or five fat chickens, you will have to use a carriage to carry it when you go out in the future." ”

Ye Weiwei's face was full of my own wolf, how do I love to raise me, I am happy,

Chu Xianzhao continued to quip: "Is this really an ice wolf? It's better to change the name to Ice Bear, this wolf skin is so comfortable to touch, if you want me to say that if you make this wolf skin into a fur coat, it will be comfortable to wear in winter." ”

Ye was slightly stunned for a moment and then wanted to cry, Chu Xianzhao touched her head and laughed, and after making sure that the other party was joking with him, he pinched her shoulder full of grievances, and laughed along.

My mother told me that girls have so-called likes, and this is like it.

Ye Weiwei pretended to threaten: "We'll go to the restaurant for dinner in a while, I won't help you settle the bill, you can leave the restaurant to help people wash the dishes." ”

Chu Xianzhao approached her and said with a smile: "Okay, then I will sneak back to the City Lord's Mansion with Tantai Tranquility in a while, and leave you and this stupid wolf to wander outside, and when the time comes, you will be abducted by a ranger or hooligan who is not long-eyed and go back to be your wife, I won't go to you, I don't care if he looks crooked or not." ”

Ye Weiwei was not to be outdone: "What a rascal, chop it with a knife, and feed the rest to the wolves!"

Chu Xianzhao gave her a thumbs up, what a princess, this is a heroine, heroic enough!

The arm that was holding Chu Xianzhao suddenly jumped up, sitting on Chu Xianzhao's lap and swaying, Ye Weijian had a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at the two of them with gentle eyes.

It would be nice if we could go on like this.

Chu instantly summoned the person who was selling sugar gourds on the opposite side, the gluttonous worms in his stomach hooked, and stretched out his hand to ask Ye Weiwei for money: "Give money! Give money! His Royal Highness wants to eat sugar gourds." ”

"You're such a big person!

"I want to eat it too!" "I don't know where I learned this trick, she puffed out her cheeks and glared at Ye Weiwei, every time the girl treated her like this, she had to fall down obediently, and handed the money bag to Chu Xianzhao in frustration.

This sugar gourd tastes the same as drinking in Lin'an City, sweet and sour, the syrup is thick and fragrant, he knows that Ye Weiwei doesn't like to eat sour things, so he specially brought her a sugar painting, and the three of them sat on the stone platform and ate it bite by bite, no one can imagine the identity of these three people, the prince of Dayin, the princess of Shuyue and the princess of the bottle country, what an extremely honorable person, at this time he is like a child.

Chu Xianzhao just wanted to nibble on the second string after eating up one string, and suddenly saw a little girl sitting next to her, the little girl looked at the sugar gourd in her hand intently, and was a little distracted, when she came back to her senses, she looked at Chu Xianzhao with some pity, the young man looked at her, it is estimated that this little girl's family background is very ordinary, the green dress she wears is washed brightly, and there are a few patches, Chu Xianzhao shook the sugar gourd in her hand, the little girl blushed a little embarrassed, the little girl was thin-skinned and would not be embarrassed to ask him for it, blushing for a while, she jumped down the stone steps, patted the dust on her skirt, and turned around to leave。 Chu Xianzhao looked at the little girl's back and smiled, chased after her, squatted down in front of her, and handed her the sugar gourd.

The little girl glanced at the big brother, put her little hands behind her and swayed vigorously, looking at the dirt under her feet, the corner of her eyes skimmed the sugar gourd, Chu Xianzhao touched her head: "Do you want it?"

The girl nodded vigorously, and Chu Xianzhao said, "Call Chu Gongzi to you, or the eldest brother can do it." ”

The light in the girl's eyes dimmed, she suddenly lowered her head, plucked up the courage to look at the sugar gourd, and walked away silently, Chu Xianzhao suddenly became a little anxious, and didn't know what he said wrong, so he quickly took the girl's little hand and stuffed the sugar gourd into her hand, helping her clench her fists.

The girl stared at him with wide eyes, and uttered two vague syllables in her mouth, as if to thank you or something...... In short, Chu Xianzhao didn't understand, thinking that this child was a mute.

Xiao Nizi glanced at the sugar gourd, as if she had made a lot of determination, and gnawed on it, her face full of joy.

Chu Xianzhao looked at her carefully, the little girl had a pointed chin, she looked very smart, maybe she was often hungry because of her poor family background, not to mention the pink carving, in short, when she grew up, she might be able to be regarded as graceful and beautiful, this girl eats very well, bites in small bites, and is very ladylike.

The little girl glanced at him, took out a pebble from her waist and handed it to Chu Xianzhao.

Obviously, in the child's opinion, eating people has to be paid, Chu Xianzhao smiled generously and took the pebbles.

The girl's face was full of joy and joy, as if she had seen something terrible.

It's like that, I just made friends.

Chu Xianzhao pinched her face and smiled without saying a word.

In fact, at this time, Chu Xianzhao and the little girl stood behind a little lady in a cotton skirt and white yarn, the little lady had a white scarf wrapped around her face, only revealing a delicate and soft face. This son is handsome and extraordinary, and he doesn't look like a bad person, there are two girls sitting next to him, and the three of them are eating the sugar gourd together, and they find that their daughter is looking at the sugar gourd in the hand of the son, and the shy little lady in the bag suddenly felt guilty and a trace of helplessness, so she stood aside and let her daughter look at the sugar gourd in the hand of the son, and after a while, who knew that the boy generously handed the sugar gourd to her daughter, she suddenly felt that there are still a lot of good people in the world, and her mood suddenly calmed down.

She was originally also an official lady, occasionally a little nostalgic to recall the family's land and servants, when she was a child, she went in and out with servants to follow, even so she did not hold a pampered and coquettish, gentle heart and often sent porridge to the beggars in the city, and later she got married, lived a happy life in the mouth of the people, pregnant with a daughter At that time, the Yin army finally broke through the city that was said to be impossible to take. Her husband was also stabbed to death by Emperor Yin, who broke into the house, and killed the servants in his own house, and the maids were raped one by one by them by the well, and after the incident, they threw her directly into the well and drowned her.

Later, she gave birth to a daughter, lived with her mother, after the family's mansion was confiscated by the Yin army, she gave them some silver and drove them out, the daughter had a high fever when she was three years old, and at that time she went to see the doctor for a day and a night because she had no money, and finally relied on the herbs that her mother did not know where to bring back to cure her, but since then the daughter will not speak except for calling her mother.

Later, her family was divided into an eight-acre crop land, a year of hard work is only forty or fifty taels of silver, some men see that she is working hard and is a widow at the same time want to marry her into the door as a concubine, she is worried that her daughter will be bullied behind the door of the house, and she does not want to give birth to anyone again, her heart is dead, so every day she and her daughter depend on each other, she has been reading the scriptures since she was a child, and she has to teach her daughter to read and write after a hard day, since her daughter can no longer speak, if she doesn't understand even words, she must not be bullied to death in the future.

This day is also tight, but watching her daughter grow up and be safe day by day, she doesn't want to worry about anything.

"Is it delicious?" Chu Xianzhao asked,

The little girl nodded vigorously, and suddenly found that her mother was standing behind the big brother, pointing and pulling the sleeve of the son, pointing at the mother and shouting, Chu Xianzhao turned around and smiled at the young woman, the little lady saluted the kind-hearted son, this thinks that this young man is really better looking than the Oiran in the building, his eyes are actually purple, and at first glance he is the child of a big family, so isn't it that the children raised by those big families are so good-looking? The little boy's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and her eyes were so deep that she couldn't understand it, Chu Xianzhao looked the little lady up and down, and finally his eyes fell on the silver ring of the little lady's ankle, there were two or three golden little bells on it, and he immediately weighed the identity of the little lady by five or six points, he heard that Yan Fu's family added a daughter to the child's right foot to hang a small silver ring, meaning to ward off evil and peace, and even adults will not take it off.

The little lady found that this boy had been looking at her little feet, her face was slightly hot, and she subconsciously withdrew her feet under the cotton skirt, Chu Xianzhao scratched her head a little embarrassedly, touched the little girl's head, and strode in the direction of Ye Weiwei and them.

"Childe!" the little lady called him, but Chu Xianzhao stopped but didn't look back: "Is there anything else?"

The little lady took a deep breath, only to feel that her face was burning, she took the delicate money bag around her waist, touched two copper coins out of the many broken silver, and handed them to Chu Xianzhao in the palm of her hand: "Childe, my child can't eat your sugar gourd for nothing." ”

Chu Xianzhao finally turned to look at her, and said calmly: "Who said she ate for nothing, she gave me this!" After speaking, he took out the pebbles that the little girl gave him and showed them to the little lady, this kind of pebbles can be seen everywhere in the stream in front of her house, this girl who lacks heart and eyes actually gave someone such a thing, the little lady opened her mouth slightly, and her face turned even redder.

But she didn't know that in Chu Xianzhao's heart, this pebble was a hundred times more precious than those jewels.

"People are poor, but people can't be poor!" the little lady said stubbornly, and stuffed the copper coin into Chu Xianzhao's hand, Chu Zhaozhao glanced at her lightly, not wanting this little lady to be embarrassed, so she didn't refuse.

The little lady blushed and took her daughter's hand and turned away, the little girl kept turning her head to look at Chu Xianzhao, and waved at him with the half-eaten sugar gourd, Chu Zhaozhao suddenly grimaced at her, scared away the gratitude on the little girl's face, and shrank into her mother's arms and looked at him from the corner of her eye.

"See, this is how you hooked up with a girl? Ye Weiwei took Tantai Tranquility's hand and came to Chu Xuanzhao's side, looking at the departing mother and daughter.

"They are mother and daughter. Chu Xianzhao said helplessly.

Ye Weiwei looked at him more like a pervert.

As the sun set, the three of them who had been playing all day walked on the official road, and the tranquility of the platform rode on Chu Xianzhao's neck, and he called "drive" in his mouth.

Chu Xianzhao said softly: "Little princess, the song you sang before was very good, can you sing it again?"

"Which one?"

"There's a wheat song at the beginning. ”

The quiet singing skills of Yutai are ethereal and crisp, perhaps because of his younger age, he is more and more innocent and childlike.

But this is a sad song.

My family grows wheat in the high fields, but after all, it will not become a golden ear.

Whose boy is in another country, so that the little lady is haggard at night.

The beautiful woman stood at the end of the bridge with a smile, and the son left the bridge with a knife.

The yellow flower wind rises and the son returns!

The autumn wind kills the white head, who in the seat is not homesick?

As I leave home, I get farther and farther away, and my clothes and belts are getting more and more relaxed.

Does Kobashi beauty smile or not?

Homesickness?
