Chapter Ninety-Five: Pity
Wan Ning walked to Mrs. Zhongyihou and listened to Mrs. Zhongyihou talk about Zhao Qi's situation.
Mrs. Zhao said: "Just send Brother Qi to Zhuangzi as Miss said." Mrs. Zhao said and held the handkerchief tightly, and finally looked forward to Qi Ge'er coming back, but she heard Miss Yao Qi say that she wanted to send Qi Ge'er to Zhuangzi temporarily, Qi Ge'er was under her nose, she was not at ease, and now that she was sent so far, as long as she thought about it, her heart throbbed and hurt.
She originally wanted people to talk about Miss Yao Qi and think of a different way, but who knew that Miss Yao Qi would not change her mind.
Mrs. Zhao's eyes were moist when she thought of this, she tried to talk to Brother Qi last night, Brother Qi shrank in the corner of the bed and shivered, she didn't know what to do.
Since Miss Yao Qi could help Qiao Gui's family take care of Brother Qi, she went to discuss with the county lord of An Yi, and the county lord also said that there was no other way now but to try according to what Miss Yao Qi said.
So she was ruthless and asked Qiao Gui's family to bring Brother Qi to Zhuangzi, and reduced the manpower on Zhuangzi by half, so as not to make a noise on Zhuangzi and startle Brother Qi.
She waited tremblingly for a while, although Brother Qi was still hiding from people the same, but she was not stricter than in the mansion, and she didn't know if this was good news.
When will the lively and active Brother Qi come back.
"I asked people to bring all the things that Brother Qi likes on weekdays." Mrs. Zhao said and looked at Wan Ning, Miss Yao Qi looked more beautiful than ordinary Miss Neizhai, her skin was very white, and her eyes seemed to be filled with dew, which was indescribably thorough.
Who would have thought that such a young lady in the inner house could help save Brother Qi.
Wan Ning and Mrs. Zhao went to see the objects that Zhao Qi used on weekdays, including bows and arrows and wooden swords of different sizes. There are also pen, ink, paper, inkstones, and some books, looking at Zhao Qi's things, you know that Zhongyi Hou wants to raise his son to be a military general who gallops on the battlefield like himself.
Those bows and arrows and wooden swords were used in a lot of them. The bow and hilt are very smooth, which shows that Zhao Qi likes these things very much. A martial boy will not be very courageous, and Zhao Qi must have been greatly stimulated by this.
The family has changed, and the people around him have died for protecting him, and a noble prince has lived a fugitive life since then, so you can imagine how many things Zhao Qi encountered along the way before he became what he is today.
No wonder Mrs. Zhao is in a hurry. Zhao Qi used to be a talented child.
Mrs. Zhao said: "Otherwise, if the room in the Zhuangzi is arranged like in the house, Brother Qi may remember the past when he looks at it, and his illness will be cured." ”
Although these things will evoke Zhao Qi's memories in the past. It will also make him think of the future situation, and if these things are taken out for Zhao Qi to see now, I am afraid that it will do more harm than good.
Wan Ning looked at Mrs. Zhao, "Did the mansion invite the prince to the west?" "Zhao Qi has a lot of books. When I opened it, there were annotations inside, which were similar to the books that Brother Kun read.
Mrs. Zhao nodded. "When our Hou Ye was here, he invited two gentlemen to teach Brother Qi to read and write, and he also personally told Brother Qi some stories about famous generals throughout the ages."
From Mrs. Zhao's words, it can be heard that Zhao Qi and Hou Ye have a very good relationship, Wanning also remembered that her father told her stories when she was a child, when she was only about four or five years old, her father still liked her very much, and her father still remembered the bits and pieces of the past for her, and the influence of parents on their children was great. She can start from here to help Zhao Qi.
Wan Ning said: "Madame, it's better to find more books for the prince to read." ”
Reading is a way to be quiet and relaxing.
Mrs. Zhao said, "What book are you looking for?" Brother Qi refuses to read now. ”
Wan Ning said: "That's not necessarily, you have to find a book that the prince is interested in." The prince can understand and is willing to see it. ”
"Madam, I have a younger brother who is younger than Shiziye, if Madame is willing, she can let my younger brother come over and study with Shiziye, my brother also happens to have some books there, which he can read on weekdays, I will find some and send them over."
Speaking of this, Wan Ning looked at Mrs. Zhao, "You still have to let Qiao Gui's family go to me every day, and I will teach her some stories to tell the prince." ”
Isn't it logical to let Qiao Gui's family go to see Miss Yao Qi?
Mrs. Zhao hurriedly said: "Qiao Gui's family is originally a descendant of the Yao family, if it weren't for our Brother Qi, how could I still dominate people." ”
Find some books and let Qiao Gui's family go to see Miss Yao Qi, these are very simple things, it is not difficult for her to arrange them, she just thinks that Brother Qi can't even listen to other people's words now, how can she read.
……
After talking to Mrs. Zhao, Wan Ning saw Qiao Gui's family in the house.
Qiao Gui's family stepped forward and saluted: "The prince doesn't seem to get better when he arrives in Zhuangzi, but he is curled up in bed all day." ”
I just moved to Zhuangzi, and it will take a few days to get used to it.
Wan Ning instructed Qiao Gui's family, "You still serve the prince as before, and talk to the prince more when you have nothing to do." ”
Qiao Gui's words, Zhao Qi is not very repulsive, after all, now Zhao Qi can only trust Qiao Gui's family, cultivate this sense of trust, no matter what she wants to do in the future, she can let Qiao Gui's family help.
Qiao Guijia nodded, and said in a low voice, "Is the prince still okay?" ”
Wan Ning said: "The prince is still young, as long as he gets better soon, he can still be the same as before." ”
Qiao Gui's family and Wanning talked for a while, and a descendant of the Zhao family came and said: "The prince of the world is awake and wants to find Qiao Gui's family." ”
Wan Ning looked at Qiao Gui's family, "You go, I will talk to Mrs. Zhao, let the Zhao family's carriage send you to my yard every day, and you will tell me about the daily situation of the prince." ”
Qiao Gui's busy jaw.
Qiao Gui's family came out of the flower hall and went straight to Zhao Qi's house.
"Lord Shizi."
Hearing Qiao Guijia's words, Zhao Qi carefully lifted the corner of the quilt, Qiao Guijia's homeopathic quilt was slowly removed, and Zhao Qi's eyes were filled with fear and confusion.
"Lord Shizi, the slave and maid are back, don't worry, there is no one else in this house."
Zhao Qi's hand clutched the quilt tightly and refused to let go, and the thick quilt covered his forehead with hot sweat. Qiao Guijia hurriedly wiped off Zhao Qi's sweat with a handkerchief.
"Lord Shizi, it's okay." Qiao Guijia persuaded in a low voice, and it took a while for Zhao Qi to slowly let go of his hand.
"Lord Shizi. The slave and maid brought you something delicious. Qiao Guijia opened the box in his hand, and suddenly the aroma of roasted beans came out.
Zhao Qi looked over.
Qiao Guijia smiled and said, "The slave maid roasted beans for you to eat." ”
Baked beans.
He couldn't remember how long ago he had eaten roasted beans, but every New Year's Day, he and his brothers stole beans to roast, and the sound of the beans crackling was good, and the aroma came out, and they would scramble to pick up the hot beans and put them in their mouths. The beans are crispy and sweet, and they are indescribably delicious.
The servants found out and shouted after them, for fear that they would burn their hands.
His mother reprimanded him with a sinking face, and his father stood by and laughed. "It's okay, let's eat, what's there, we weren't so stubborn when we were kids."
Zhao Qi pinched the beans in his hand. I think the beans are very hot. It was hot from his fingers to his heart.
"The slave maid asked people to bring charcoal fire, and the prince roasted and ate it himself?"
Zhao Qi didn't speak, and Qiao Guijia said with a smile: "The slave maid will go and order." ”
Soon the charcoal fire was brought up, but Zhao Qi pinched the beans and refused to go to the ground.
Qiao Guijia tried to grab the beans and put them on, and soon there was a "crackling" sound.
Zhao Qi shrank his shoulders a little frightened, clutched the quilt tightly, and slowly let go of Zhao Qi's hand as the aroma of beans came.
It's okay. Nothing happened, and after so many sounds there were only hot beans.
Take out the piping hot beans. Put it in your mouth, it's still the same crispy.
"Lord Shizi, is it okay for the slave to tell you a story?"
The sound of beans made the room not so quiet, and the hot brazier seemed to drive Leng Qing away, Zhao Qi looked at Qiao Gui's house with wide eyes.
Qiao Guijia said: "The slave tells the story of a little general, the slave and the maid don't tell it well, don't laugh at it." ”
Zhao Qi didn't speak, Qiao Gui's family said, "Once upon a time, there was a child who loved to listen to stories about going to the battlefield to fight, and when he was seven or eight years old, he begged his elders to hire a martial arts master for him. ”
Qiao Guijia spoke very slowly, "But he was born weak, let alone riding a horse and archery, and even walking out of breath, and the elders said that he was not suitable for learning martial arts, so let him read some books and write some words at home." But he refused to listen, and got up early every day to practice his muscles and bones, and the elders saw him working so hard, but he had no choice but to invite the master home. ”
"From now on, no matter the wind or rain, he will practice martial arts with the master, even so, he is still not as good as the brothers in the clan, and even the master said that he has no strengths except for a little stamina......"
Qiao Guijia said, Zhao Qi didn't make a sound and listened quietly.
Mrs. Zhao outside the door couldn't help but cover her mouth with a handkerchief, and tears fell from her eyes, Qiao Gui's family was talking about Hou Ye, Hou Ye's qualifications were mediocre when he was a child, no one thought that Hou Ye could inherit the mantle of the old Hou Ye and lead the soldiers to fight, and later Hou Ye went to the military camp and came back with military merits, which surprised everyone.
It was then that she had a good impression of this husband who was about to get married.
Hou Ye led the troops to fight for so many years, but she didn't expect to end up on the charge of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and when she heard such news, she almost fainted, but she gritted her teeth and survived until Hou Ye's crime was rehabilitated.
The subordinates who fought with Hou Ye returned to Beijing and told her about Hou Ye's affairs as it was, and she knew that Hou Ye would only lose the battle if he was short of food and grass in the frontier, and after Hou Ye died, those people picked Hou Ye's head on a spear to celebrate.
At home, she would feel distressed when Hou Ye lost a few hairs, and she never thought that someone would treat Hou Ye like this.
What an insult to pick the head on the spear.
Hou Ye died so miserably, but those people in the capital still framed him......
How can they do that.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhao's heart throbbed, not only Brother Qi, but she didn't dare to think about Master Hou now, and she didn't dare to think about what happened in the Zhao family.
Madame Zhao came out of the courtyard and walked forward, and the servants saluted her and said something, but she did not know it, until a man stood in front of her, and she began to cry bitterly.
