Chapter 3: The Marquis of Luyang
The next day, while Zhao Yu was still asleep, Zhou led her husband, Zhao Jing, Zhao Yu's father, to Zhao Yu's house.
Seeing his youngest son lying on the couch in an indecent sleeping position, the more Zhou looked at it, the happier he became, and he couldn't help but pull her husband's sleeve and whispered: "Husband, look at our li'er, we slept sweetly...... Tsk, this kid was so handsome when he was a child, and he will definitely be amazing when he grows up, he really deserves to be my son......"
Zhao Jing, the Marquis of Luyang Township, knew that his wife had always loved his youngest son more, and he didn't care when he heard the words, and said with a face on the floor as always: "Last night, I listened to the advice of the people in the house, saying that Yu'er fell from a tree yesterday and accidentally hit his head, and because of excessive fright, the evil qi entered the body, not only lost his previous memory, but also became the same as before, is this so, Zhou?" ”
"Evil energy entering the body?"
Zhou frowned when he heard this, and said with some displeasure: "Who is chewing the root of the tongue in private?" Yu'er was just frightened, saying that the evil qi entered the body, it was too much! …… Are you trying to say that it is not my son who is in front of you, but an evil spirit that has taken away from my son's body? It's ridiculous! ”
"Calm down, Zhou." Seeing that his wife's room was angry, the Marquis of Luyang frowned and dissuaded him, and immediately asked, "Have you asked the doctor to diagnose Yu'er?" ”
"Hmm." Zhou nodded and said: "Last night, an old doctor surnamed He who came from the county town had already diagnosed Yu'er, he said that Yu'er's qi and veins were unblocked, and he didn't have any physical diseases, and finally prescribed a pair of calming medicines, saying that it would be fine if Yu'er recuperated for a while. ”
"Hmm." The Marquis of Luyang nodded slightly.
At this time, probably because he heard something, Zhao Yu, who was lying on the bed and falling asleep, woke up slowly.
After waking up, Zhao Yu was also startled when he saw two people standing next to his bed, until he took a closer look and found that one of them was his mother Zhou, he felt a little relieved.
Well, to be exact, Zhou is the mother of the original owner of his body, but in view of Zhou's great maternal love as a mother, as well as the friendly exchange between mother and son yesterday, Zhao Yu no longer excludes calling Zhou his mother.
"Mother, you...... Is there something wrong? ”
Sitting up on the bed, Zhao Yu asked cautiously while peeking at the man beside Zhou.
He didn't have to guess to think that the man in fancy clothes who appeared in his house with his mother Zhou at this moment was his father, Zhao Jing, the Marquis of Luyang Township.
Sure enough, seeing that he woke up his little son in his sleep, Zhou hurriedly sat down on the bed, patted his son's back and said comfortingly: "Yu'er, it was late at night when your father returned home yesterday, and he told his mother about you, but in view of the fact that it was late at night, you had already fallen asleep, so you didn't come to visit, no, your father came to visit you this morning......"
As she spoke, she saw that her youngest son's expression was still wooden, as if he didn't mean to call people at all, so she reminded in a low voice: "Silly child, don't you call Dad?" ”
Looking at Zhou, and then at Zhao Jing, the Marquis of Luyang Township who was standing next to the bed with his hands on his back, Zhao Yu felt a little embarrassed in his heart.
But in the end, due to Zhou's urging, he still shouted honestly: "Dad." ”
"Alas, if you occupy someone's son's body, you should call your father and mother."
He secretly relieved.
"Hmm."
The Marquis of Luyang nodded slightly, holding his hands behind his back, unable to see the joy and anger on his face.
He asked calmly, "Yu'er, I heard that you accidentally fell from a tree in the courtyard yesterday, what is the discomfort?" ”
"It's okay, it's okay, there's no discomfort, it's just that I can't remember some things."
Zhao Yu replied quite distinctly.
This is not surprising, although for Zhao Yu, his mother Zhou is as strange as his father Zhao Jing, but yesterday Zhou was obviously more strong and active, forcing Zhao Yu to accept the mother-son relationship between the two, and then by telling the past story, Zhao Yu was full of good feelings towards Zhou, and the father in front of him, he was just standing there with his hands behind his back at the moment, and he couldn't see the meaning of being close to Zhao Yu at all, and it was no wonder that Zhao Yu felt inexplicable restraint and life.
Especially when this father looked Zhao Yu up and down with his eyes with a straight face, Zhao Yu felt more restrained and uneasy.
I don't know how long it took, the Marquis of Luyang nodded and said, "It's okay if it's okay, you have a good rest, I have something to say to your mother." ”
With that, he gave Zhou a look, turned around and walked out of the house.
Probably noticing that his youngest son's face was full of astonishment, Zhou said in a low voice: "Yu'er, don't be afraid, your father is here to see you." …… In fact, he has always loved you two brothers, but he is not good at expressing it. ”
After listening to Zhou's words, Zhao Yu suddenly realized: the feeling is not only that he feels angry with that father, but the original owner of his body is actually also afraid of that father.
Letting his son continue to rest and covering the futon for him, Zhou turned around and walked out of the house, gently closing the door.
Not far away, her husband Zhao Jing was standing under the tree in the courtyard, listening to the noisy sound of summer cicadas.
"Husband." Zhou stepped forward to say hello to her husband.
The Marquis of Luyang didn't pay attention to his wife for the first time, he stretched out his hand and stroked the tree in front of him, and said with some nostalgia: "This tree, I have been in the house for some years, I still remember that I used to enjoy the shade of the tree when I was young, and ...... said" Speaking of this, he changed his words: "Tell the people in the house today to ask them to pull out this tree." ”
Hearing this, Zhou's face showed a slight smile.
As she said, in fact, his husband has always loved Zhao Yin and Zhao Yu, but unfortunately, this stubborn and rigid man really doesn't know how to get along with children, so that the two sons don't want to be close to him.
"The concubine thinks it's not necessary." Reaching out to hold her husband's hand, Zhou chuckled and said: "After this catastrophe, the concubine thinks that Yu'er should become more mature, and she will not do such a risky thing in the future, this tree should be kept, after all, it is something that her husband misses......"
The Marquis of Luyang turned his head and glanced at Zhou: "Do you think that after this catastrophe, Yu'er will become more mature?" …… Just now I saw Yu'er, just like those people said, Yu'er is like two people......"
As if hearing something, Zhou frowned and maintained: "Yu'er is just frightened, there is no way that any evil qi has entered the body...... Could it be that the husband will believe those absurd theories? ”
"Calm down, Zhou." Zhao Jing patted the back of his wife's hand, and although his voice was soft, he could not refute: "Today, call someone to the county seat to invite a goddess to come and see if my son is really invaded by evil spirits, I don't know what you think, but I have just seen that Yu'er is indeed the same as before...... If it turns out in the end that the theory that Yu'er was invaded by evil qi is indeed absurd, it can also make the people in the house stop arguing, so as not to spread any rumors. ”
Seeing that her husband had made up his mind, Zhou couldn't refute anything, so he could only nod helplessly.
Immediately, she seemed to think of something, and asked her husband: "Husband, the concubine remembers that the wandering monk once said that there was a catastrophe when Yu'er was about ten years old, and if he couldn't get through, he would unfortunately die early; But if you can get through, the future is unpredictable and the wealth is unspeakable...... Could it be that this time? ”
“……”
The Marquis of Luyang glanced at his wife, and then turned his head to look at the rising sun in the east.
One day ten years ago, at about this time, the beloved wife beside him had just given birth to his eldest son Zhao Yin, which made the whole house panic, but another baby in Zhou's womb could not be born smoothly, which not only made Zhou wail painfully, but also made the whole house very anxious.
After all, in this era, when a woman is in labor, she can basically only choose between adults and children, otherwise it is very likely that there will be two deaths.
At that time, Zhao Jing decided to choose Bao Zhou, but was strongly opposed by Zhou.
And just when they were at a loss for what to do in the Luyang Township Mansion, a wandering old Taoist came to their mansion - although the old man claimed to be a Taoist priest, Zhao Jing was more inclined to think that this was a swaggering and deceitful priest.
In short, the priest told them that the other baby boy in Zhou's womb at that time had not been born because the time had not yet come, and that he needed to wait until the sun went down to give birth.
Zhao Jing naturally scoffed at this statement, but Zhou believed the old man's statement, and fought hard until dusk and sunset.
It is also strange to say that on that day, when the sun went down and night fell, the second son Zhao Yu was immediately born from her mother's womb.
And what is even more incredible is that after the birth of the second son Zhao Yu, there was a moment when the sunset reappeared, shining on his Luyang Township Mansion, but after the second son Zhao Yu cried from the house, the sunset disappeared immediately, as if it was pressed down by some invisible existence.
Zhao Jing still remembered that the old Fang Shi explained to him with a smile at the time: "This son is the appearance of the evening tiger." ”
Zhao Jing asked what the appearance of the Xihu was, but the old monk didn't explain again, just asked Zhao Jing for wine and food, and after he was full of wine and food, he said goodbye and left.
In addition, Zhao Jing didn't tell Zhou, didn't tell anyone, that is, after seeing the faces of Zhao Yin and Zhao Yu, the old Fang Shi said to him with a smile: "Congratulations to the townsman, these two sons are like kings!" ”
This sentence really shocked Zhao Jing at that time.
The appearance of the human king, as the name suggests, is the king of a party, at least the leader of hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, and more importantly, he is not controlled by others.
Doesn't it stand to reason that this face should be among the royal children of this country?
Why did he appear in his Luyang Township Mansion? And two at once?
Although he Zhao Jing is a marquis of Luyang, and he is also a hereditary wealthy family in Luyang County, if you look at the whole country, he is really insignificant, and he is not a king at all.
But why are his two sons born with the appearance of human kings?
"Husband? Husband? What's wrong? ”
In his ears, Zhou's concerned inquiry came from his ears, interrupting Zhao Jing's memories of the past.
"Nothing."
Zhao Jing shook his head slightly.
His wife's words did evoke some memories of Zhao Jing, and also made him a little worried.
If you are born in a royal family and have the appearance of a human king, this is of course a complement to each other; But if you are not from a royal family, you have the appearance of a human king......
Truth be told, that's not necessarily a good thing.
But as a father, it is always a joy to know that his future son will have a future.
