It was noon, the sun was quite strong, and the villagers of Zhangjia Village sat in the shade of the trees in twos and threes, chatting with each other, talking about the east family and the west family. I don't know who started it, so the conversation turned to the courtyard seven miles away from the village.

In the entire Zhangjia Village, Zhang Wu is the most eventful, and likes to show off, seeing that everyone knows nothing and guesses randomly, he said triumphantly: "I heard that it is a noble person from Beijing, I have seen it from afar, and that feeling is ...... Tsk, there's no way to say clearly, it's just different from us rough people. ”

As soon as his voice fell, someone immediately said goodbye to him: "Noble? What a noble person, how could he come to a small place like ours and live for three years? ”

Hearing what the other party said, Zhang Wudeng was anxious.

He was the kind of person who insisted on knowing everything even if he didn't know anything, not to mention that he had really seen those soldiers once, looking at the coldness of their blades from afar? Telling lies on weekdays, he talks as if it were true, and now that he is telling the truth, some people dare to question it, is this still necessary? I saw that he was blushing and his neck was thick, and he shouted loudly: "How can we understand the thoughts of the nobles?" But those soldiers' long knives can't be faked, can they? You can't fake it with an authentic official dialect, right? The envoy has also been to that courtyard, and he can't fake it, right? ”

Three "can't fake" in a row, but really stopped everyone, but his opponent refused to admit defeat: "If you have the ability, find out who they are!" It's so unclear and unclear, just say that they are nobles from Beijing, hey, I'm not convinced. ”

When Zhang Wuyi heard this, his blood surged, his head was hot, and he immediately shouted: "You wait, I'll go and ask you to understand!" Then, turning around, he strode in the direction of the courtyard in the distance.

Seeing him look so heroic, everyone really muttered, thinking that this kid had really seen a nobleman? As everyone knows, Zhang Wu regretted that his intestines were blue, and he only hated himself for not checking for a while and said big things. Or...... Just go around a few times outside, wait until it gets dark, and then slip back quietly, and wait for the second dog to ask tomorrow, and talk nonsense yourself?

Thinking of this, Zhang Wu smiled, and was about to go to the river to touch two fish for dinner, but saw the six people walking in a hurry, hurried to the direction of the courtyard, and couldn't help wiping his eyes - the one walking in the middle was not a noble person from Beijing?

This is...... What happened?

Zhang Wu's heart was like being scratched by a kitten's paws, itching so much, he struggled for a while, and he didn't know where he got the courage, so he secretly followed.

At this time, in the courtyard, which made the villagers curious, but could not explore, a scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping was being staged.

"Lady, I can't help it, I can't help it!" July dragged Shen Man's arm to death, lest the feather duster in her hand really fall.

Shen Man had never had a temper with this loyal maid, and he trembled with anger, and only said hatefully: "You know that you are used to her!" Immediately, she pointed to the little girl in the distance and said angrily, "You come over to me!" ”

The little girl hiding in the distance looked at the feather duster in her mother's hand, and wrinkled her nose unhappily: "I don't want it!" ”

She is only three or four years old, she was born with pink carving, and her voice is very pleasant.

Shen Man forced himself to harden his heart, made a look of King Kong with horizontal eyebrows, used the volume to hide his softness, and his voice was a little higher-pitched: "You still dare to contradict!" Come over to me! ”

As soon as Qin Ke stepped into the courtyard door, he saw such a scene, and hurriedly said: "Manniang, if you have something to say, don't scare the child!" ”

Seeing this, Cheng Fang, the husband of July, very cleverly covered the courtyard gate and beckoned the four soldiers to drink a cup. Qin Wan jumped up and down to his father's side, pulled his father's sleeve, shouted "Aye" with a smile, and then stuck out his tongue at his mother, eccentric and extremely cute.

Qin Wan is smart by nature, never forgetful, born cute and sweet, and there is no one who has seen him who doesn't like it. In addition, Qin Ke and Shen Man consciously treated their daughter a lot, and they really responded to her needs, loved her like a treasure, don't say anything, and they are reluctant to say a word of heavy words, especially Qin Ke. Because of this, Qin Ke rubbed his daughter's hair affectionately, smiled subconsciously, and saw that she was fine, so he looked at Shen Man and asked helplessly: "Manniang, what's wrong?" Bao'er has always been sensible, how can he make you angry like this? ”

"Li Sanlang hunted a rabbit and roasted it for me to eat." Qin Wan hid behind his father, poked out his little head, and his childlike voice was crisp and cute, "I was reluctant to eat it, so I brought it to A-Niang, but A-Niang threw it away and asked me to admit my mistake." ”

Speaking of this, she lowered her face and pulled Qin Ke's sleeve a little unhappily: "Aya, what's wrong with Bao'er!" ”

When Qin Ke heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and after a while, he stroked his daughter's sideburns and sighed: "Bao'er is really good, really filial, but ...... We can't eat meat right now. ”

Qin Wan wrinkled her nose and asked unhappily: "Everyone can eat meat, why can't we!" ”

Shen Man knew that as soon as her husband came, her daughter would not be able to teach her a lesson no matter what, so she simply threw down the feather duster in her hand, pretended to glare at Qin Wan viciously, and reprimanded with a straight face: "You--stand under the tree obediently for me, in July, you are optimistic about her, don't condone it this time." After that, she looked at her husband and sighed, "Da Lang, I have something to tell you. ”

Qin Ke nodded, squatted down, and said softly to his daughter: "Bao'er, you stay here first, Aya and A-Niang have important things to discuss, and when the talk is over, A-Niang's anger will disappear, make you something to eat, Aya will take you to fish, okay?" ”

Hearing the word "fishing", Qin Wan's eyes lit up, she clapped her hands, and said very happily: "Okay, good, go fishing!" ”

Her relaxed and cheerful appearance made the boulder in the hearts of adults a little heavier.

Qin Ke and Shen Man walked into the gloomy room one after another, and after a long time, Shen Man sighed: "Time flies so fast, before you know it, Bao'er is almost four years old." ”

Qin Ke let out a low "um", and then heard his wife say: "Queen Mu's three-year filial piety period has also passed two years. ”

"She's still young...... Qin Ke's hands were slowly clenched, and the strength was so great that he could almost see the green tendons on his hands. After a while, he said in a hoarse voice, "We still find life like this difficult, let alone her?" She didn't understand why others could just take it for 100 days, but she ......"

Shen Man's heart was sour, and his eyes were already red: "How can I be willing to blame her like this, since my eldest brother left, I have been a child of her!" But are the saints and Kurou getting along? I still remember that day five years ago...... "On that day, they went from being nobles to ordinary people in the blink of an eye; From the bustling imperial capital to the remote Pengze County. In the past, he had to work in the fields, weave and wash clothes, feed chickens and pigs, and even live this kind of hard life with his only daughter.

Qin Wan grew up in this environment, so he naturally didn't feel that his situation was difficult, but the more he was like this, he grew up in a rich pile since he was a child, never lacked food and clothing, and never lacked people to serve.

Every time I think of this, Shen Man's tears are like beads, and I can't help but roll down: "Da Lang, I don't have to suffer, if you drink gruel, I will eat bran vegetables, and I will suffer all my life, as long as I am with you, I will be happy." But wrap ...... Can you bear to let her stay here for the rest of her life and bury her for the rest of her life? ”

Qin Ke knew that Shen Man's words and words were from the bottom of his heart.

Five years ago, when he was stripped of the title of acting king and demoted to a concubine, Shen Man was already pregnant. The saint has always loved the eldest grandson who died young, and wanted the eldest son to leave a blood and bones, so he deliberately issued a holy decree, stating that the princess could stay in the capital to wait for childbirth, and let Qin Ke pick a widow or concubine to take away at will, and someone would take care of his life during exile. Who would have thought that those concubines who were plain and flattering, and were all willing to die for Qin Ke, this one said that he wanted to take care of his son, and the other said that his daughter was still too young to leave her mother, and she would simply be sick without children and daughters, and would rather be a small commoner in the capital than suffer with her "lover". And this princess, who has always been respected by Qin Ke but is not particularly loved, decisively unloaded the hairpin ring, resisted the holy decree, and embarked on a journey of exile with him.

Exiled all the way, there were many hardships and dangers, Shen Man swallowed them one by one, never complained, but took good care of Qin Ke. Qin Ke was ashamed and ashamed, he felt that he had a lot of negative Shen Man in the past, and he was better for her day by day, and his daughter was really his weakness, how could he not know that what his wife said was right? Thinking of Empress Mu, Qin Ke could barely contain the anger in his heart: "Why, why!" She has done us so bad, but we must grovel to her son and show his tolerance and love with our lives in order to get a way to live? Obviously, she couldn't give birth to a son herself, and it was obviously her own child who came so late, not to mention, I never had that thought, but ...... Why, I have to live in the shadow of her and her son for the rest of my life! ”

Shen Man said in his heart, both are women, I understand why Empress Mu hates you - if there is no such thing as your cun, she and her emperor cousin are still sweet and sweet, and there is no one else between the two, how can they be forced to usher in three palaces, six courtyards and a group of concubines and concubines like now?

Of course, this must not be said explicitly, Shen Man knows too well the shadow that Empress Mu brought to Qin Ke. Queen Mu is noble and elegant, she doesn't raise her eyelids when she sees the concubines, and she doesn't practice it, she just completely ignores it, and the women that Qin Ke likes go in the opposite direction completely, all of them are humble and weak, tender like water, Chu Chu is pitiful, and she is a good hand at being a little low. If it weren't for the fact that he still had etiquette in his heart, and the strictness of Daxia was unprecedented, these foxes couldn't set off too much wind and waves, and Shen Man's life would definitely not be very easy.

Shen Man wanted to go back to the prosperous Chang'an with her husband and daughter, how could she be willing to go back, and her husband, who was so easy to get in, was dragged away by those women? She hadn't forgotten that if it weren't for the death of her eldest brother, Qin Ke would have planned to ask for a knighthood for her second son. Because of this, she sighed and said helplessly: "After Jiulang was born, no new children were born in the palace, how can this not prove the saint's heart?" Thinking about Jiro and Goro, we really ...... Powerless. ”

After that, the melancholy between her eyebrows became a little heavier: "Here, we can naturally pet Bao'er, if we go back...... Bao'er can't be unruly, don't know etiquette, even if he feels uncomfortable, he has to endure it. Da Lang, Bao'er has been kissing you since she was a child, you are so good to talk to her, and you have to let her know something. ”

Qin Ke paused, and Fang Ying said, "I understand." ”
