Chapter 208: Will She Be My Mother?
"Yingguo~~~"
As soon as Sikong Yi was sent away, Zhao Kuo walked into the courtyard and saw his mother holding a wooden stick screaming. Zhao Kuo shuddered, and Zhao's mother said angrily: "What did I tell you before? I said don't talk about politics, don't say rude things! What did you say to her?! She left in a hurry without even taking the gift in return? Watching his mother approach step by step, Zhao Kuo realized that something was wrong.
There are traitors on my side.
Zhao Kuo looked at the traitor who was standing aside, eating the fruit and looking at his own traitor with a smile, he stepped forward quickly, lifted the traitor up, blocked in front of him, and directly used him as a shield to block the stick in his mother's hand, the little guy was lifted up by his father like this, and shouted wow, but to no avail, Zhao's mother just looked at the father and son angrily, Zhao Kuo coughed a few times, and then said: "Mother! I don't think she's angry! ”
"Oh?" , Zhao's mother was stunned, as a mother, she knows her son very well, although her son has undergone earth-shaking changes over the years, but she can still see through her son's mind, many times, Zhao Kuo smiled and spoke to others, but only Zhao's mother could see the kind of troubles and sorrows he hid deeply, and at this moment, she suddenly found that her son seemed to be a little disobedient?
Mother Zhao slowly put down the stick in her hand, squinted her eyes, and asked, "What do you think, how is she?" ”
"That's good... People are good-looking and kind... Well... Mother? ”
Mother Zhao suddenly laughed, threw away the wooden stick in her hand, she was very happy, and walked forward, her eyes seemed to be flashing, "Really? Zhao Kuo took a step back, and only then nodded, Zhao's mother laughed and said, "Okay, that's good!" She nodded, and hurriedly walked towards the door, just walked to the door, she remembered something, and looked at Zhao Kuo again.
"What's the matter with your clothes?"
Zhao Kuo looked down, okay, the new clothes he just put on in the morning are now muddy, just now Zhao's mother was just anxious about her daughter-in-law's affairs, but she didn't find out, Zhao Kuo hurriedly said: "I'm going to help Pinggong again...", Zhao's mother was furious, "How many times have I told you?" Can't you change your clothes first if you want to help?! ”
"Mother... I'm... Be sure to pay attention next time. ”
"Before I come back, wash my clothes! Let you know how tiring it is to do laundry too! Lest I be tired of mine... Cough. Zhao Mu didn't say anything more, glared at Zhao Kuo fiercely, Zhao Kuo sighed, lowered his head, put down Zhao Zheng, the little guy stood on the ground, grinning happily, Zhao Mu pointed at him, and said seriously: "And you!" Eat a fruit and eat clothes with you? Go wash your father's clothes! ”
"Huh?" , Zhao Zheng looked at the eldest mother blankly, and suddenly, the fruit in his hand was not fragrant.
Zhao's mother walked out of the courtyard and hurriedly asked people to prepare a carriage, Ge is now Zhao Kuo's driver, but she can no longer drive for Zhao's mother, Zhao's mother hurriedly ordered her retainers to rush to Handan Xu Li's house.
In the courtyard, the father and son squatted in front of the bucket, rubbing their clothes vigorously, Zhao Kuo's face was loveless, because of Zhao's mother's orders, no one has come to him until now, if someone comes to look for him, he can use this as an excuse to slip away, and the little guy on the side is even more so, pouting, a look of grievance, washed for a while, he looked at Zhao Kuo aggrievedly, and then opened his mouth and said: "Father~~~"
"I don't wash, I wash myself, you traitor!"
Zhao Kuo didn't even look at him, so he broke his thoughts.
"Father~~~"
"It's useless to be coquettish."
"My hand seems to be broken..."
"Wash your clothes and you'll get better."
"Wow~~"
"Cry, wash after crying."
After begging to no avail, the little guy had to continue to wash his clothes, Zhao Kuo quickly finished washing his clothes, although it may not be very clean, he took the clothes and shook them vigorously, then hung up, and walked to the little guy's side, the little guy wiped his tears, was rubbing his clothes hard, Zhao Kuo smiled and picked him up, found a wooden mat, sat down, put the little guy on his knees, and began to help him wash.
The little one sat in his arms and watched him do his laundry seriously.
"Politics... You see, how difficult it is for your eldest mother, on such a cold day, every time she helps us wash our clothes and soak our hands in water, we have to pay attention to it in the future, we can't get our clothes dirty anymore..."
"I see... Father? ”
"Huh?"
"The person who came today, she gave me armor, and the armor is the same as yours, it has armor, patterns, and a tiger.."
"Oh... It turned out to be sent by her, I thought it was..."
"I have armor, in the future, I can fight with you, I want to protect you!"
"Hahaha, protect me? Wait until you're not afraid of the family dog in the township. ”
"Father?"
"Huh?"
"Is it true that Di Gong said that you once captured the enemy's general among many people?"
"Hmm."
"Father?"
"Huh?"
"The one who came today, will she be my mother?"
"Perhaps."
"After we're done, let's go help Pinggong, shall we?"
"Okay."
Zhao Kuo soon walked into Pinggong's courtyard with the little guy, Pinggong walked in the courtyard, chatting with his deceased family in a low voice, and saw Ma Fujun holding Ma Fuzi, Ma Fuzi still holding some corn in his arms, and walked into his own courtyard. Ping Gong laughed, hurriedly stepped forward, and took the little guy from Zhao Kuo's arms, and the little guy called his father sweetly, and then handed him the "gift".
Pinggong hugged the little guy tightly, tears in his eyes, he laughed, tears couldn't stop slipping.
Zhao Kuo followed the little guy to visit a few neighbors, including the craftsman Du, Zhao Zheng likes this Du Gong very much, Du is very kind, he also likes children very much, and often makes him some toys, because he can't see, he can only grope the little guy's face, and make a stupid smile, Zhao Kuo just looked at him, Du's eyesight is getting worse and worse, and because of the increase in age, his hearing has also become worse.
Unless it was yelling in his ear, he couldn't hear anything, he could see something vaguely, but now he couldn't see anything, but fortunately, he had lived in the horse suit all his life, even if he couldn't see it, he could grope forward, the people in the horse suit respected him very much, and often people came to help him, sneaked into his courtyard, and left some food, and after the kind Du found the food, he would take it to other poor people.
Zhao Kuo respects the sages of this era very much, and similarly, he also respects these kind-hearted and kind poor people. Du, who is disabled, is more respectable in Zhao Kuo's eyes than those big-bellied nobles. Du made a few more small toys, holding the little one, he seemed to think of his children, Du is not married, but he has adopted a lot of children, these children he adopted... The boys were all killed in battle.
There are only a few girls, who are already married, and they often come to visit Du with their children.
Zhao Kuo took the little guy to these places, then took his hand and walked to the school, the two walked, Zhao Kuo said: "There are many people in need of help in the world, you are now in Mafu Township, then let these people live better, if you are in Handan in the future, then let the people of the entire county be fed, if one day, you can help the whole world, I hope, you don't just think about yourself, don't just think about the country..."
"The foundation of the country is these people, if you can help all people, then everyone will support you, will love you, no one will hate you, no one will want to hurt you, however, good people are also easy to be used by bad people, so you must distinguish between good and evil..."
"Kindness is not cowardice, benevolence is not stupidity, a good person can use courage, and a righteous person can draw a sword to stop the wicked!"
The little guy didn't seem to understand, but nodded.
"I'll tell you a story."
"Okay."
"A long, long time ago, there was a monarch, when the tribes were fighting, this king defeated all the enemies, established a country that had never been seen before, and so he wanted more, he did not spare the people, built the most luxurious mausoleums, frequently conscripted the people to serve, built the Great Wall and roads for him, he constantly attacked the surrounding areas, wanted to make his country bigger..."
"The people have lived a very hard life, and they have not been able to forget the hatred of the country... After the death of this king, there were rebellions everywhere, and in the end, the glorious country was destroyed, and the people could not avoid war... Later kings adopted the method of recuperation, no longer large-scale conquests, and did not send troops outside the fortress for the time being, and in a few generations they defeated the external enemy and established a glorious era..."
When the story was finished, Zhao Kuo also walked into the courtyard, the little guy looked around, and finally found Han Fei, hurriedly walked over, sat in Han Fei's arms, Zhao Kuo sat on the top position, and seriously told everyone about the knowledge, this time, the knowledge he told was not complicated, but it just told how the king should make the country strong, how to avoid the destruction of the country, his center, put it in the people.
Unlike Mencius's people-oriented thinking, Zhao Kuo did not rely on the moral cultivation of officials to protect the people, but protected the people with strict laws.
The little guy couldn't understand it, he sat in Han Fei's arms and soon fell asleep, in his dream, he seemed to dream of the story told by his father.
......
When Sikong Yi sat on the ox cart, the whole person was speechless, absent-minded, his eyes were blank, and he didn't know what he was thinking, the ox cart stopped, her mother was already waiting in the courtyard, Sikong Yi walked down from the ox cart, but the whole person was still in a trance. Her mother is also surnamed Sikong, because her lover Xu Li is from a low background and takes her official position as her surname, so she is surnamed Xu's Sikong, so his daughter and wife are surnamed Sikong.
This is the same as Bai Qi's descendants' surname Wu'an, and Zhao Kuo's descendants' surname is Ma.
And this chubby lady, her background is not simple, she is Zhao's surname... is a princess, if you count the seniors, she should be the sister of King Zhao. At the beginning, Xu Li followed Zhao Hao to fight and made military achievements, and Zhao Hao personally recommended him, so that the office won him over and accepted him as his son-in-law. Sikong Yi's mother asked, "Did you send the winter clothes?" Does Mrs. Ying like it? ”
Sikong Yi just lowered his head blankly, and didn't seem to hear his mother's voice.
"Art?"
Mother shouted again, Sikong Yi woke up in shock, and hurriedly raised his head and looked at his mother. Mother suddenly laughed, of course she knew what Sikong Yi's expression represented, thinking that when she was playing in Handan, she saw Xu Li, a captain who was riding a horse, carrying a strong bow, and a proud face, she was also like this. In fact, it was not the nobles of the public family who took a fancy to Xu Li, but she took a fancy to him, so she begged her family to marry him.
Thinking about this humble person in her own house now, Sikong Yi's mother shook her head and sighed, she was really blind when she was young.
The mother looked at Sikong Yi gently, and asked with a smile, "Does Mrs. Ying like that winter coat?" ”
"She likes it very much, and Zheng, he likes it too, he's also...", Sikong Yi was a little shy, didn't continue, her mother nodded, and followed her into the inner room, the two sat down, the mother looked a little embarrassed, she didn't know how to ask, her daughter's appearance, she must have been hooked away, looking at what she was recalling, and smiling stupidly, the mother didn't dare to ask.
Zhao Kuo, no matter whether he is famous, human, or anything else, no one can compare, that is almost a perfect person, it is precisely because of this that his mother is worried, he doesn't look down on his daughter, and she doesn't dare to ask Zhao Kuo if she also likes her, but for fear of hurting her daughter's heart, she can only ask cautiously: "Have you met with Kuo?" ”
Sikong Yi nodded, talking about Zhao Kuo, there seemed to be light in her eyes, recalling today's events, so she told her mother, who listened carefully, nodded from time to time, and joked with a smile: "I haven't passed the door yet, so I helped him go to farming?" ”
Sikong Yi lowered his head again and shouted, "Mother~~"
Sikong Yi's mother still has experience after all, when she heard this, she immediately felt that there was a play, and she was relieved, because of the marriage contract with Zhao Kuo, Sikong Yi has no marriage match until now, she is not young anymore, her peers have already had children, and there were people who came to matchmaking before, but Xu Li told them that after her daughter had a marriage contract with Ma Fujun, no one dared to be a matchmaker anymore, and even the neighbors around her became a lot more polite.
King Zhao knew about this, and called him into the palace to ask about these things, and wanted to promote Xu Li, but what made Mrs. Sikong angry was that this simple man actually refused, and he said angrily: I told others about the marriage contract because it was agreed between me and the late Ma Fujun, and I never thought about getting promoted and getting any benefits because of this matter.
King Zhao was stunned, and angrily drove Xu Li away, and stopped mentioning this matter.
Just when the mother and daughter were chatting, Xu Li came back, Sikong Yi hurriedly greeted his father, and went to cook, Xu Li looked a little tired, sat on the bed, took off his shoes, rubbed his feet, Mrs. Sikong sat beside him, and said in a low voice: "Yi went to visit Mrs. Ying in Mafu today, and met with Kuo." ”
"Oh? I wanted to go to Mafu too, but you don't know, this flood thing..."
"It's not a flood! It's your daughter's marriage! ”
Xu Li was stunned for a moment, then frowned, and said seriously: "Although this is what I agreed with Ma Fujun, but now that Ma Fujun is gone, if you don't want to, then forget it... I can't let my daughter suffer..."
Mrs. Sikong stretched out her hand, rubbed Xu Li's feet, looked at the dense wounds on his feet, and asked with some distress: "You took off your shoes and went into the water again??" ”
"You made these shoes for me.... I'm afraid I'll break it..."
"You!" , Mrs. Sikong scolded, but her gaze at Xu Li was even more gentle.
ps: Second and third sons, I suddenly received a notice last night, the county was out of power all day today, I stayed up late last night to write half a chapter, and in the morning I used my mobile phone to write half a chapter, and this is finished.... I don't know when the call will come.
If there is no power all the time, there is no way to do it in Chapter 2.
