The woman was immediately happy, raised her hand and laughed: "Cripple! I don't even need crutches, run so fast and beware of flashing my waist!"

"Devil, ghost, ghost!" he kept shouting this unclear word, and the yellow dogs barked all around, until the old lame man was far away. The woman apologized to Chu Xianzhao in a low voice: "Little boy, your cake was snatched away by this unconscionable guy, sister-in-law will make another one for you, I will give it to you for nothing." ”

Chu Xianzhao smiled and said, "Then I will thank my sister, my sister is so good-looking." ”

The woman covered her mouth and smiled: "What about my sister? I am not one of those cardamom girls for a long time, the children are six or seven years old, and the son doesn't look like a local...... As the lame man said, it's the Yinguo people who follow the army, right?"

Chu Xianzhao was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and smiled narrowly: "Yes...... I am from Yinguo. ”

Seeing the cruelty of the woman splashing the egg liquid on the lame man's face just now, several people who wanted to come over to buy baked cakes were frightened, but at this time, the woman's smile was gentle: "The little boy is an officer, right?

Chu Xianzhao nodded and smiled: "My father is an official. ”

The woman asked curiously: "There is a father who is an official in the family, why do you have to step on this trip to Shuyue? Isn't it good to be a son of a wealthy family?"

"It's a great achievement. Chu Xianzhao blurted out suddenly, but when he said it, he didn't even believe his own words.

The woman's eyes looked at him calmly: "Meritorious service...... Yes, this is how the merit was built, your cavalry is very powerful, and the name of the Yinguo Iron Cavalry in the world is really ......"

Chu Xianzhao was silent, and he took a step back and wanted to leave, but the woman suddenly grabbed his hand and said, "Little boy, I don't blame you for anything, the soldiers went into battle to kill the enemy, died on the battlefield and died a glorious death, we who are alive should live well, are you right?"

Chu Xianzhao, who was a little aggrieved, said helplessly: "I'm sorry...... Our cavalry has caused you trouble, and I'm sorry about your husband...... It sounds disingenuous, but I want to say sorry. ”

The woman couldn't help but say: "The little boy is so funny, and he will say sorry to the woman, it's really not a gentleman." ”

Chu Xianzhao pretended to be angry and said, "I'm a serious sister-in-law!"

The woman nodded, motioned for Chu Xianzhao to sit on the stool beside her, and after a while, brought Chu Xuanzhao two fragrant biscuits, as well as a bowl of warm sweet soy milk: "This soy milk and cake are for you, don't be polite to your sister-in-law." ”

Chu Xianzhao scratched his head and smiled, took the baked cake and took a bite, and drank a large mouthful of soy milk: "How can it? ”

The woman smiled with relief: "I used to believe this sentence, but now I don't believe it." ”

Chu Xianzhao smiled and didn't say anything, he chatted with the woman while drinking soy milk, and the woman told him a lot about Shu Yue's current situation, and didn't seem to treat Chu Xianzhao as hers

The enemy came to look at it, the two were just a pair of men and women who met in Pingshui, he listened to the woman complain to him about this meaningless civil war, her husband was a member of the Danyang cavalry, and he was a clear-eyed person who knew that Tantai Ninghua was not the real emperor, just a tyrannical usurper, she didn't hate the cavalry of the Yin country, because it was the Yin people who escorted their real empress back. Chu Xianzhao sometimes smiled, sometimes silent, but once the woman talked about her child, she smiled, she didn't want her child to enter the barracks as a soldier like her husband, but hoped that the child could pass the township test to enter the school, and when a promising scholar would say that everything is inferior only to reading high, Shuyue is much more in awe of scholars than soldiers, but that child wants to be a cavalryman who kills the enemy immediately like his father, which makes him a headache.

Now it was good that her husband had died outside the city, and when the news of his death came home, she wept profusely, but the child looked silently in the direction of the city gate, and fell asleep crying and crying. The next day, when he got up from the couch, he couldn't move his son who didn't study, and sat in front of the window with a book for the first time and shook his head and read, looking at the child shrouded in the morning light, at that moment, his mood was at ease, and he felt that no matter who did the emperor, it didn't matter if the final winner was Shantai Ningsu or Shantai Ninghua, he and his son could live in peace.

So she also said that the young prince who led the army of the Yin Kingdom was a good person, and he didn't let the soldiers hurt most of the people in the city.

Chu Xianzhao smiled and was gentle as always, lowered his head and stirred the soy milk, and said softly: "Chu Xianzhao is nothing good, he has killed many more people than he has saved." ”

The woman was confused, and then said with a smile: "The little boy looks like a scholar, but it's a pity that my son is not here, so I might as well ask the son to call my son a few words, the child is smart, but he can't sit still, and he always wants to run out of the house." ”

After speaking, she sighed again: "And the school in this city is precious, and there are no literate people in my family, so I am afraid that I will look down on a scholar like you, little boy." ”

Chu Xianzhao choked on a mouthful of soy milk, wiped the corners of his mouth and smiled: " I don't dare to call myself a reader, there are very few people in this world who can call themselves readers, countries and countries are using their fists to reason, only when they don't want to use their fists to reason before letting readers come out to speak, most of the readers want to govern the country and level the world, as if any truth can be explained well, but some truths are written in books, some truths are made for people to see, readers are not as powerful as you think, they seem to understand everything, but in fact they don't understand anything, such as me. ”

"The little boy is modest, and the little boy also said that everything is inferior, only the reading is high, and the reader can enter the imperial court, no matter how good the gun is, he is also a barbarian, don't you say?"

Chu Xianzhao shook his head and said: "Sister-in-law is partial and complete, readers have the use of scholars, they can see Yan Ruyu in the book, and make money."

I heard that Tantai Ninghua is the first poisoner in your Shuyue, such a person reads more books than anyone else, but in the end, he even has to frame his own monarch, if it were not for his rebellion, Yinguo would not need to fight this civil war with Shuyue at all, and your husband would not have died. It can be seen that it is not good to read too many books, this person's mind will become very heavy, and finally no one will believe it, everyone performs their duties, whether it is buying baked cakes, reading, joining the military camp as a soldier, such as sister-in-law, you set up a stall to make baked cakes to serve one party, this is the best thing. ”

Before this, no one had ever told me that she was very important, and she was praised by this young man, and the woman's heart was as sweet as eating honey, and she laughed softly: "The little boy is so knowledgeable and reasonable, much more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people than those old Confucian students who shake their heads, in the end, they are readers, if only we had a few more insightful readers like Gongzi in Shuyue." ”

Chu Xianzhao smiled brightly, especially the pair of shocking purple eyes looked a little soft, just like when she met her young husband many years ago, the woman rarely lowered her eyebrows and eyes, and asked softly: "Let my sister-in-law guess, are you the third prince of Chu?"

Chu Xianzhao didn't answer her question, but said calmly: "I came from Yinguo, I also went to Yanfu, and now I come to Shuyue. ”

"In this way, Childe has been to a lot of places, and I hope that my children can read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles like Childe. ”

Chu Xianzhao stood up and was about to say goodbye and leave, but the woman finally asked for no reason: "Do you think the Empress of Tantai will win?"

Chu Xianzhao said with a resolute look in his eyes: "We Yinguo people are also disgusted with traitors, since the empress has chosen us to be her allies, then as long as there is one of our cavalry left, we will also help her regain the throne of Shuyue, and we will do whatever it takes to do so." ”

The woman nodded, and then said with a smile: "You are not very old, you have a big tone, and you speak like the emperor of Yinguo." ”

Chu Xianzhao immediately changed the topic and said: "The Emperor of Yinguo has a big tone, and he wants to step on the world and fight in all directions. ”

After Chu Xianzhao finished eating the baked cakes, he did not leave in a hurry, but sat on a small bench and looked at the scenery of Danyang City.

The woman sent a baked cake to another guest, and when she came back, she still saw Chu Xianzhao sitting on the stool and did not leave, and looked at the young man's line of sight, and said reverently: " There is the most famous reclining Buddha temple in our Danyang City, also known as the Ping'an Temple, in addition to a huge bronze statue of the Buddha Nirvana, and later added a Maitreya reclining Buddha made of sandalwood, young men and women in the city like to go to the temple to propose marriage, I was young and my husband went to ask for a sign, the sign in this temple can be spiritual, the son seems to be not married, you can go to ask for a marriage sign, but also go to the temple on a few roots

Incense, believing in Buddha is an excellent thing, and the son should go to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha. ”

After all, Chu Xianzhao still didn't tell her about his disdain for the gods and Buddhas, but said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is also very young now, and the signing spirit in the temple depends on people." ”

The smile on the woman's face became brighter, and she quipped: "The little boy is really good at talking, and he grew up drinking honey, right?"

Chu Xuan summoned the towering spire, lowered his eyebrows and muttered, "Great sorrow without tears." ”

The woman immediately answered: "Laugh silently." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, Chu Xianzhao took out the money and planned to leave, but the woman refused his silver, and fried two pieces of baked cakes into an oiled paper bag and handed them to Chu Xianzhao, Chu Zhaozhao did not shirk, took the baked cakes and saluted to leave, and the woman smiled and watched him leave gently.

There was something she didn't tell Chu Xianzhao.

In fact, she also knew Chu Xianzhao's true share, and those magnificent purple eyes had already exposed his share, but she never complained about anything, nor did she show hatred to him.

Everyone lives with unavoidable hardships, parting and meeting, which is a story that life often deduces. Because of this, each of us will have a mixture of joys and sorrows in life. Meeting and parting are the fate of life's gifts, and it is already very valuable to be a passer-by in other people's lives, not to blame, not to hate.

It was honorable that her husband had died as a warrior, and she had nothing to complain about.

Ordinary people like her have done their best just to live, but only by giving her a little hope, she can grit her teeth and live.

She hopes that the little boy she met today can one day put down the sword in his hand, hold a girl's hand, and walk peacefully to the end of his life.

May your life be as clear as a clear spring, and you will still be a teenager when you return from the battlefield.

But this kid lacked a youthful impulsive spirit to himself, looking at his back from afar, as if looking at an old man who had left at the age of 100.

The woman didn't have a chance to see Chu Xianzhao's impulsiveness, but the soldiers on the battlefield had seen it, and his enemies had seen it.

More people will see it in the future.
