Chapter 3 Where did it come from?
This is a goshawk, about half a meter in size, gray-black from the head to the front, black behind the eyes, and white on the lower body.
Since the morning, it has been hovering above the camp of the Red Lotus Army, and everyone didn't care about it, thinking that it would fly away soon, but who knew that it would refuse to leave. There was a soldier who was good at archery, so he planned to shoot it down. Unbeknownst to them, this eagle was very cunning, and it only circled outside the range, so that they were helpless.
It was at this time that Qin Shu came to the camp.
The eagle didn't know what was going on, and suddenly swooped down from mid-air and flew towards Qin Shu like a gale.
"Protect the Chief!"
Seeing this, everyone was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to protect Qin Shu.
And the person who had planned to shoot the eagle down, the arrow had been quickly aimed at the eagle.
It's a pity that the eagle's speed is too fast, and its reaction is extremely sensitive, they didn't hit it after shooting it a few times, plus it quickly arrived in front of the leader, it was too close to the leader, they were afraid of accidentally injuring the leader, so they didn't dare to shoot it again, in the end, they still watched her fly towards Qin Shu.
Fortunately, they also knew that with the leader's ability, they would not be injured by an eagle, so they were a little relieved.
Qin Shu raised her head and watched the eagle flying towards her, although her body was vigilant, she didn't have any fear in her heart, but she was a little curious, she also wanted to see what it wanted to do.
As if the eagle didn't know that it was almost hit by an arrow, a pair of eagle talons as sharp as a cone landed on Qin Shu's shoulder so steadily,
This eagle seems to be very measured, although it hurts Qin Shu a little bit, the eagle claws did not pierce into Qin Shu's flesh, not to mention, Qin Shu is still wearing a light armor, what kind of use does it work.
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, their hearts tensed again.
The eagle is a bird of prey with a fierce temperament, and it stands on the shoulders of the leader, and it is still a certain threat to the leader. Therefore, everyone did not dare to relax.
"Are you alright, Chief? This eagle ......" Tian Mei, who had become one of the three major generals of the Red Lotus Army, asked hesitantly.
Qin Shu smiled lightly and said, "I'm fine." ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his other hand and touched the goshawk's feathers.
That goshawk didn't even dodge, or attack Qin Shu, which made people feel very surprised.
"Don't be nervous, this eagle shouldn't be wild." Qin Shu said that wild people don't have such a good temper, and it is impossible to get close to humans.
He motioned for everyone to put down their weapons and let the eagle be fed some food and water.
Soon a living hare was caught and thrown into the distance, and the eagle quickly spread its wings, and in an instant it caught the hare, and flew high to eat.
After eating, I went to drink some water that everyone had prepared for it.
Most of the soldiers of the Red Lotus Army saw the eagle up close for the first time, and they were curious about it.
It's not the first time Cheng Qiuyu has seen an eagle, her family has also domesticated eagles before, and when the eldest brother and second brother are hunting, they often take the falcon out! The eagle brought back memories of her past.
"I don't know whose eagle came to us?" Cheng Qiuyu said.
Tian Mei said proudly: "It doesn't matter whose family it is, when it comes to our territory, it will be the leader's." ”
Everyone else nodded in agreement.
Qin Shu felt a little strange, this eagle wouldn't come here for no reason!
Originally, I thought that this eagle was delivering letters, but after searching for it several times, I didn't find any letters or anything like that.
Qin Shu had no choice but to give up.
Moreover, she still prefers this kind of bird of prey, so keep it!
So, on the same day, Qin Shu took the eagle home.
Or rather, the eagle came home with her with a dead face.
Qin Shu didn't understand why it identified itself.
As soon as she returned home, she heard the news that Shen Jingfang was about to give birth, and her heart suddenly became nervous, and she didn't even change her clothes, so she hurried to Shen Jingfang's yard and sent someone to say a word to Qin Youan.
When Qin Shu arrived, Shen Jingfang had already been sent to the delivery room that had been prepared a long time ago, and Wen Po had already entered, although the courtyard was busy, it was not chaotic, and everything was in order. Qin Shu relaxed slightly.
They had been prepared before, and just in case, they specially invited Lang Zhong, who is skilled in medical skills and especially good at obstetrics and gynecology, to come and sit in the town.
There hasn't been any movement in the delivery room, and it's the first child again, so it must be too early for her to give birth!
Knowing that Shen Jingfang was fine, Qin Shu had the heart to look around.
Zhao Hanqiu had already heard the news, and he saluted Qin Shu just now, but Qin Shu's mind was on Shen Jingfang and he didn't notice her.
Qin Shu also has a good impression of Zhao Hanqiu, she knows the general situation, understands proportion, is filial to her, respectful to Shen Jingfang, and can speak well, very good at pleasing people, Shen Jingfang has praised Zhao Hanqiu in front of her more than once, although the two are not like sisters, sometimes they will compete, but the relationship is indeed good.
Now, Shen Jingfang is giving birth, and Zhao Hanqiu's face can't help but show worry and anxiety.
In addition to her, there is one more person in the courtyard who should not be here.
Qin Shu frowned slightly.
Seeing Qin Shu noticing herself, Qin Xingniang was a little flustered, and even a little weak-hearted, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute Qin Shufu.
"Concubine Qin has seen ...... Mrs. Tai! ”
This lady, she shouted as if she was reluctant.
Qin Xingniang has no insight and scheming, and she can't hide her thoughts, and it is easy for people to see through her thoughts. Therefore, Qin Shu could easily discern the love in her voice.
"No need to be polite." Qin Shu glanced at her lightly, and looked away after speaking
At a glance, he looked away after speaking.
She still doesn't like Qin Xingniang.
Probably no one would like a person who has prejudices against himself, not to mention that this Qin Xingniang is faintly hostile to herself.
Qin Shu is no exception.
She has always been reluctant to deal with people she doesn't like.
If You'an recognizes her, it's for You'an's face, and on the surface, she will take care of her, but in the end, she is her own junior.
But in this case, forget it!
Anyway, You'an said it, and he only treated it as an ordinary distant relative.
She's also not interested in sticking someone else's cold ass with a hot face.
Besides, no matter how good she is to her, I'm afraid in the other party's heart, it is also a matter of course! Maybe she will be angry, thinking that she is occupying the magpie's nest!
If Qin Xingniang was really so easily satisfied, she would live at home peacefully, instead of coming to the door to see people's faces. She should have been clear that no one was welcoming her here.
Seeing that Mrs. Tai ignored herself, Qin Xingniang quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then became a little angry.
She is the generalissimo's own sister, why is she so cold to herself?
You know, her younger brother and sister who are giving birth are polite and polite to her!
Unlike the rejection and hostility towards Qin Shu, Qin Xingniang has a very good impression of Shen Jingfang.
Shen Jingfang is the wife of her younger brother Ming Media, and now she is pregnant again, her position is stable, and she is the justifiable hostess of the Generalissimo's Mansion. Not to mention, she is also dignified, generous and kind, she is also very good at talking, and she is also very respectful and polite to herself, presumably she will not refuse if she has something to ask her in the future, but unfortunately, this time, as soon as she opened her mouth, she launched it.
How can it be like this so-called Mrs. Tai, who turned a blind eye to her, and only saw her for a long time, and treated her like a stranger.
In such a comparison, she was even more dissatisfied with Qin Shu.
Qin Shu didn't care what she thought of herself, anyway, she couldn't affect herself. Seeing that Mama Shi and Mama Zhang were also here, Qin Shu asked them, "Didn't you say that there are still a few days left in the due date?" Why is it born now? ”
Mama Shi glanced at Qin Xingniang, lowered her eyes and said, "The old slave doesn't know either. However, I heard that Madame suddenly launched it when she was entertaining this Madam Qin, presumably Madam Qin should know very well. ”
"You...... What do you mean? When Qin Xingniang heard this, her face turned red with anger, and her whole body was trembling, and as soon as she questioned her, she heard the voice of the people in the palace saluting the generalissimo, and her face suddenly showed a little joy, and she turned to look over.
For the past month, she has been thinking about her younger brother.
That's right, today's days are something she couldn't have imagined before.
However, after the initial euphoria, she felt that it was becoming more and more unpleasant.
Obviously she is the sister of the generalissimo, and she can have a better life, why, she can only be the wife of a small rich man.
My brother can promote some people he doesn't know, why don't he promote his brother-in-law, and he is so stingy and cold to her sister?
They're brothers and sisters! Even if it is adopted out, the blood relationship is constant!
Qin Xingniang wanted to greet her younger brother, however, Qin Youan directly crossed her, walked to Qin Shu's side, bowed down to her, and asked softly about the current situation.
Qin Xingniang's footsteps froze in place suddenly.
Qin Youan didn't pay attention to her, and asked Lang Zhong about the situation again, knowing that Shen Jingfang was still early to give birth to the child, so he persuaded Qin Shu to go back to eat and rest, and when Shen Jingfang gave birth, it would not be too late to come over.
Qin Shu didn't want to agree, but Qin Youan persuaded her again and again, so she had no choice but to agree.
Seeing their mother and son filial piety there, Qin Xingniang's heart was sour and uncomfortable, and she felt very worthless for herself and her mother, who had already passed away.
If her mother were still alive, how sad she would have been to see such a scene!
At this time, she suddenly heard Mrs. Tai say: "By the way, You'an, I just got an eagle and plan to keep it, don't let people shoot it down." ”
Qin Youan had already gotten the news, and he was not surprised when he heard it, and said, "Don't worry, mother, I'll give you an order." But the eagle is tame, isn't it? ”
Qin Shu nodded and said with a smile: "It should be." I don't know how, but it has been following me, maybe mistaking me for its owner. ”
A trace of weirdness flashed in Qin You'an's heart, but thinking about it, it was just an eagle, and it wasn't a big deal, so he put aside the doubts in his heart and said: "This is also fate, no wonder my mother wants to raise it!" ”
Qin Shu bowed her head and was about to speak, when she suddenly saw Qin Xingniang standing stiffly on the side, and said to her politely with a little apology: "Mrs. Qin, you have also seen the situation in the mansion, and there is probably no way to entertain you well, so it is better to ...... Shall I send someone to send you back? ”
Just like Qin Youan said, he just regarded her as a guest and a distant relative.
When Qin Xingniang heard that Qin Shu was going to drive herself away, the anger and sourness in her heart almost overflowed, she raised her chin, looked at Qin Shu, and said coldly: "No need." Mrs. Shen is also my brother-in-law, and I always have to see her give birth safely before I can leave with confidence. ”
Looking at Qin Shu's eyes, they were full of blatant accusations and dissatisfaction, and even a hint of provocation.
She wanted to see if her brother would drive her away!
However, as soon as her voice fell, she listened to Qin You'an's instructions: "Come on, send this lady away immediately." I think she's crazy about losing her heart, and she's talking nonsense. is so disrespectful to Mrs. Tai, next time, go directly to the house, and never allow her to come to the door again. ”
Qin Xingniang was shocked when she heard this, and looked at Qin Youan in a panic.
However, Qin You'an's eyes when he looked at her were a little wary and dissatisfied, and his expression was a little gloomy.
- What the hell is going on with her?
What's going on?
Didn't he make it all clear to her? Why do you still say such things?
Didn't you take his words as a deaf ear?
Dare to have such an attitude towards his mother.
Where did she get the guts!
"Mrs. Qin, please!" Qin Xingniang was about to call him, but was forcefully invited out by the two mothers-in-law.
Qin Xingniang looked at her brother's ruthless face, and felt extremely uncomfortable, and finally left in tears.
Qin You'an was already as hard as iron, and for those who didn't care, he couldn't make the slightest wave in his heart.
He had already made it clear what he should have said, and he was not stingy with what should have been given to her.
She is still greedy and insufficiency, and she wants more, and she doesn't want to see if she can bear it?
really regarded him as a wronged man.
Think they're sisters and brothers, so they can ask for him?
Scold!
He can give his things to whomever he wants, and he can't allow others to put his beak.
She had to be glad that his temper was much better, and he wasn't as murderous as he was when he was emperor in his previous life, otherwise......
He knew her intentions, what the lame Zhao was doing outside, he knew it well, and he had been sending people to pay attention to them.
He thought that only the cripple Zhao was stupid, but he didn't expect that the most unclear person was Qin Xingniang.
Isn't it good to live in peace?
You have to ask for things that don't belong to you.
"Mother, I'll send you back." Qin Youan retracted his gaze, held Qin Shu's arm and said.
Qin Shu nodded, didn't say anything, and went back to her yard.
After having lunch with Qin Shu, Qin Youan left.
After he was gone, the goshawk also landed on the open window.
It didn't seem to be afraid of people at all, tilting its head to look at Qin Shu.
Qin Shu felt both surprised and puzzled, nodded its head with a smile and asked, "Where did you come from?" ”
