Section 5: Gambling on life

More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

My son can eat healthy. This is gratifying to the mother Zhang.

The old Zhao family took root in the deserted place by the sea in Cangzhou in troubled times, and after generations of hard work, it is now considered a thin family business, but the people are not prosperous, and the Northern Song Dynasty generations are more dangerous. In the generation of Zhao Dayou Zhao Laocai, the owner of Zhao Village, Zhang Shicheng gave birth to two sons and a daughter in succession in the first few years, which seemed to change the fate of the Zhao family. It's a pity that the second son died in infancy, and his stomach has not moved for nearly ten years. The husband and wife are affectionate, the wife is strong, and Zhao Laocai feels that it is fate, and refuses to take a concubine and ask for a child, I thought that was it. Unexpectedly, another boy was born. This is called how the two of them can not be ecstatic and pay attention.

The genealogy of the Zhao family is: ...... Qiankun Zhengda, fairness, grace and longevity......

This generation, the eldest son Zhao Lian, the word is honest, people are as famous, it is really a good material to study and be an official, eleven-year-old county examination is a middle school child, and the son of Chaifu in the same state is a classmate and friend, followed by the light, under the famous teacher, the study is great, plus affected by the local environment and fierce folk customs, since childhood practice martial arts and archery, called the above martial arts, this year is only thirteen has been ambitious to prepare for the government test. The girl's name is Zhao Mingyue, and she is really beautiful and smart. At this time, the two families hoped that their young son would grow up healthily, so they named Yue, the word Gongyue, and only hoped that the young son could stand tall and last forever like a mountain. Zhao Yue also became Zhao Gongyue.

Full of hope, but considering the lessons of the second son, Zhang did not dare to be careless, this time he put down everything, concentrated on raising his young son, and always paid attention.

"Master, our son is strong and can eat, congratulations. It's just that I always feel that he seems to understand what adults say, and he is always anxious. ”

Zhang, who was extremely careful, gradually discovered the abnormalities between Zhao Yue and ordinary children, and was surprised in his heart.

Zhao Laocai didn't care, and joked with a smile: "Could it be that the lady not only changed the fate of my Zhao family, but also gave birth to a prodigy?" ”

Zhang glanced at her husband, "The one who told you to be serious." I could really feel that my son understood what we were saying. Sometimes when you hear something, the reaction is especially intense. ”

Zhao Laocai scratched his head and said with a little embarrassment: "Didn't you be startled by my loud voice when you were just born?" ”

Zhang shook his head: "Even if the master is not there." Just listen to me and Liu Tongniang chatting about some rumors about the official family, and Yue'er will show up and listen carefully. I've confirmed it repeatedly. Don't doubt it. ”

Liu Tong is the housekeeper Lao Liu, whose name is Liu Guan's fourth son, and he was also born suddenly after Liu He gave birth to twins Liu Wen and Liu Wu, and gave birth to three sons Liu Da, who was born only a few days later than Zhao Yue, and is now a standard little kid who only knows how to eat and sleep.

The Liu family has been taken in and served as a housekeeper since the Zhao family developed in Cangzhou, and has shared weal and woe with Cangzhao from generation to generation, and has been loyal for generations. The two families are called master and servant, but they are actually brothers. This generation of Steward Liu is five or six years older than Zhao Laocai, diligent and capable, and his sons are powerful, especially respected by the Zhao family. So when Zhang's milk was not enough, and Liu Tong couldn't finish it, He naturally became the most reliable nurse.

Zhang's family was born in the same county landlord family, although he is not a scholarly family, but he is not a foolish woman in the countryside.

She may not understand the methods of Wu Zetian, a model of strong women, but she is taking the path of Emperor Zetian to meet her husband's warmth and career support for the family with love, meticulous care and shrewdness, or to meet the needs of both feelings and interests.

It turns out that only such a woman can run the house firmly. Even though the vase girl is gorgeous and dazzling for a while, she will inevitably be eroded by time and lose her color and end up being smashed.

Zhang is deeply respected by her husband, and at this time she repeatedly stated it. Zhao Laocai finally paid attention to it, but still didn't believe it.

His method of verification is simple and crude.

"My son, can you understand what your father and mother are saying?"

Zhao Laocai had a soft smile on his face, and he was suspicious in his heart, and asked half-truths and half-truths on his face. For fear of scaring his youngest son, he was rarely careful, and his voice was deliberately low.

Zhang couldn't help but roll his eyes on the side: The little toddler can't speak, isn't it nonsense for you to ask like this?

However, the little boy lying on his back with the little finch open and facing the sky clearly showed a hesitant and thoughtful expression, and after a while suddenly blinked, as if he was sure.

Seeing all this clearly, Zhao Laocai was stunned, thought about it and shook his head and smiled: How is it possible?

Although children are young, they can understand the faces of adults and respond to words. Therefore, Zhao Laocai still regarded it as a child's knee-jerk reaction, but seeing that the lady insisted, he had to smile patiently and ask casually: "I'm asking if you can really be born and know, is it the reincarnation of a god, and the fairy child descends to earth?" ”

A scene that shocked the two appeared. I saw the little kid's nose humming, and the boss rolled his eyes at the father impatiently.

"Master, do you see, Yue'er is despising you." Zhang blurted out in surprise and joy.

“…… I saw it for my husband. ”

Zhao Laocai, who was shocked, responded depressedly, thinking about it and not believing it, he walked around the house a few times, and suddenly clapped his hands and wrote two big characters.

Holding a piece of paper, he pointed to the big bowl of dad on it, and pointed to himself and his wife, "Baby son, look at this, who does this word refer to?" ”

Zhao Yue is engaged in scientific research and does not know much about ancient characters, but Chinese is a pictograph, and he can recognize a lot of models. Daddy doesn't matter. It's just a question of whether or not to show yourself extraordinary.

There are good and bad things to showing some bottom now.

The advantage is that parents can pay more attention to it, and in the near future, they will be able to talk and walk, and some of the arrangements that they will start immediately will also be easy to get the support of their parents.

Harm? In this era of ignorance and backward superstition, if you are regarded as a demon, you will be lit into a torch......

Alas, in these unfortunate times, this is also a difficult matter to decide.

Zhao Laocai raised his hands sourly, and didn't get any response, so he said to Zhang: "See? …… Yue'er may be more sensitive, and there is no magic. You, don't in the future."

didn't finish, Zhao Yue decided to gamble at this time, and the little hand that was not too obedient pointed at Zhao Laocai, screaming, and his heart was full of tragedy.

In this era of rotten turtles, if your father and mother are unreliable, it is pure delusion to change your fate, so you can simply die early and get rid of the ball, so as to save more humiliation and pain when you get it.

Belch......

Zhao Laocai's eyes suddenly widened, pointed at himself, and almost put the word mother in front of his son, and asked in a trembling voice: "Good son, good baby, tell me quickly, who is this?" ”

"Good baby? I'll return the golden rod. ”

Zhao Yue lacked a sense of identity with his parents in this world, slandered in his heart, and tragically pointed to his mother in this world.

Although Zhang was shocked, she was much calmer than her husband. After all, it's a bit mentally prepared.

She breathed heavily, suppressed her beating heart, first quickly closed the door, ordered no one to approach, and found a piece of paper to write down the eyes, nose, ears and other words that her son could identify on the spot, and listed them one by one in Zhao Yue.

Of course, Zhao Yue lived up to expectations.

He saw that his parents were ecstatic, and he didn't shout about the evil and kill his relatives righteously, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his tragic mood was reduced a lot, and his little body was too immature to stand the toss, and he was annoyed by the words that his parents kept turning over his brain.

"Sir,"

While covering his son with a small quilt, it was early autumn in Cangzhou, and he whispered with complicated emotions: "You see that our son is really a prodigy, right?" ”

It is said that mother and son are connected, not to mention Zhang, who is shrewd and invests almost all his energy on his young son.

Just now, she was keenly aware of the strong tragic and resolute emotion in her youngest son's eyes, which caused her to feel palpitations and distress. The incomprehension and uneasiness hidden in my heart these days and the glimmer of good expectations that I didn't dare to think too much about it were suddenly replaced by the surging pity and worry: What does he know about such a young child? What are you worried about?

"Huh."

Zhao Laocai was happy.

He was careless, he didn't notice his young son's emotions, he didn't think about it so much, and he was completely excited at this time.

In the end, it was a strong man who led the Zhuang people to resist the entry and robbery of the Liao soldiers every year, killed decisively, and experienced many vicissitudes and hardships, he quickly calmed down, and then thought of the fate of the Cangzhao Shan Chuan, and couldn't help but worry: "Xiantong, of course, the ancestral tomb of the Zhao family is smoking, and I am afraid that I will not be able to raise it." ”

Then I finally thought of another, more terrible question: "But if it is, cough, that demon, cough." ”

According to the concept at this time, people firmly believe that fate is the way of heaven, that is, determined by the gods. It is only God who can change fate, but it must be evil who can break fate.

Who can say whether Zhao Yue is changed or broken, whether he is a god or a demon.

The demon word bites very lightly, almost inaudible, and the evil word is not spoken, but Zhang understands it very well.

She was also worried about the limitations of the times, but after a flash of subtle arrogance of cherishing her young son and "even if it is a demon, it has to be born by a mother like me", maternal love quickly prevailed. Zhang immediately stared at her husband fiercely and said in a low voice: "Husband, don't mention this in the future." Otherwise, Yue'er's life will not be guaranteed. Even if the mother of the concubine is born without sin, she will break off with your old coarse kindness. ”

Zhao Laocai respects his wife very much, even if he is completely male at this time, he still thanks God for giving such a good wife to help him solve many problems. He opened his mouth, and just wanted to express his attitude to comfort the lady, when he saw Xiao'er, who was already asleep, suddenly turned over and opened his eyes, and opened his hands to Zhang's babbling with a cheerful face, but the eyes of Lao Zhao were clearly written with the words contempt or idiot.

"Pretending to be asleep and eavesdropping? A child who is more than a month old has a scheming? ”

The two of them were stunned for a long time, and then couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly: Hey! Say that you are not a demon, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public!

The word demon here is probably a compliment to a genius prodigy. Although they were apprehensive, the strong desire to break the fate of the single pass made the couple make a decision and reach an agreement, and at this moment they naturally tried to think about the good.

The flesh that fell from his body, he raised it, and he counted it. Zhang is not afraid of his son's demons.

Her eyes were pleased, and with a smile on her face, she picked up her magical son who was attached to her, and patted Zhao Yue to sleep.

Lao Zhao didnkey turned around for a long time, obviously experiencing a fierce ideological struggle, and he didn't know what to think, but finally rubbed his hands and whispered to his drowsy little son: "Since you gave birth to my family, it is my son." Rest assured, baby. How could Dad hurt you. I only hope that you will grow up healthy and have a safe life. ”

After saying that, he wanted to leave, but turned back, and whispered: "You are willing to deign to descend to the mortal, you must have some kind of great commission." As long as it is not a disaster for the people and the family, if your father can reach out, he will definitely help you. I promise. ”

"The mission of fart, saving your life is."

Zhao Yue opened his eyes and looked at his father in this life with a solemn and solemn expression, rolled his eyes helplessly, turned his head and fell asleep.

Looking at his words and deeds, the father and mother of this life should be tight-lipped, and even the only leader in the family, Zhao Yue's grandmother, and children did not disclose the strange things, let alone outsiders, but they were taken care of more carefully, in order to further deepen the family warmth between each other, and perhaps also to strengthen observation and surveillance. In any case, this made Zhao Yue's hanging heart slowly let go.

After the critical hurdle, life is stable. Zhao Yue can calmly recall and think about the events of this era, and understand the current environment and home.
