Chapter 26: The dilemma of Kuti's own heart

The king took over, followed by civil and military officials. When Shaokang waited for the pastoral department to take office, there were already 20 messengers in place, waiting for Shaokang's orders. The office is very large, and as soon as you enter the courtyard, there are lush flowers and trees on both sides.

In the middle of the courtyard is the errand office, and on both sides of the courtyard is the place where the errand officers stay and eat. The three brothers of the Shaokang Nu Ai Yi family were arranged to be in the backyard house.

The errand office of the pastoral office was tall and spacious, and when Shaokang and the others entered the door, the errand servants were already standing on both sides. A table in the middle, and chairs in the back.

Shaokang sat on the chair behind the table, and the three brothers Nu Ai and the still family naturally stood on either side. Yesterday, the election official has clearly explained the affairs of the pastoral office. So, Shaokang knew what he was supposed to do. He stood up majesticly and said solemnly:

"The Pastoral Department is in charge of the country's animal husbandry affairs, and is also in charge of the training of war horses. Division of labor and cooperation, in order to do their own things, in order to live up to the grace of the king. Animal husbandry includes two categories: raising livestock and grazing livestock. Still Song is responsible for supervising the breeding of poultry by the people of the country - chickens, ducks, geese, etc.; He is still responsible for supervising the breeding of animals by the people of the country - horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, rabbits, etc.; He is still responsible for supervising the herding of livestock by ordinary people across the country - cattle, horses, sheep, etc. Each of you will be given four servants to be familiar with and grasp the feeding and grazing of the common people of the country; Good people can pay taxes less. She took four servants to pick up the good horses and brought them to me. There was a war horse training ground behind the office, and I took four officers to train the war horses myself. In addition, we are responsible for driving out wild beasts. Wolves, tigers and leopards invade, we will definitely drive them away, and those who harm them must be eliminated! I hope you will do your duty. Otherwise, the punishment will be severe! ”

"Yes!" Everyone clasped their fists.

Shaokang took office in May and devoted himself to affairs. Busy days are fulfilling and cheerful. Occasionally, he will feel really tired, but more often than not, he tastes the happiness of being busy, and he also experiences the harvest of being busy.

Some ordinary people even sent meat, rice, noodles, and agricultural products to the yamen of the department. Shaokang bought it with his own money. Therefore, some ordinary people in the country praised him.

In his busyness, he exercised Shaokang's ability to deal with problems, smoothed out his unruly edges and corners, practiced his sophistication, and cultivated his ability to find shortcuts in the predicament.

In his spare time, Shaokang also drove Nu Ai back to Phoenix Villa to visit Eniang, Grandma, and Daddy, and brought them some delicious food and clothes.

For Shaokang, fate seems to have played a joke on him! If it weren't for the cold and summer, my father would have committed suicide. He should be the son of the Xia Dynasty. is chased by everyone, and lives a life of brocade food and jade clothes. is pampered by his father, queen and mother, and his heart must be as vast as the sky and as free as the sea.

But fate made him live in seclusion in Phoenix Mountain. The years of childhood, though colorful, seem to be incomparable to court life. There are no male friends, and the only playmate is the female Ai. Therefore, his feelings for Nu Ai are undoubtedly sincere, and her words and deeds will touch his heart from time to time. But he was also sure that it was just a strong family affection.

After learning the truth at the age of fourteen, he became angry and practiced martial arts, determined to restore the country, and at the same time knew how to hide the truth, even to his sworn brother, he could not reveal his true identity. After holding it for a long time, it seems that he has forgotten his identity as His Royal Highness the Prince of the Xia Dynasty; On the contrary, he learned how to be a man with his tail between his legs.

At the age of eighteen, he went out of the mountain and entered the WTO, defeated the fierce horse, and won the title of Muzheng. He is thinking of showing his majesty and making great achievements; Unexpectedly, in just one year, he had to fight the five hundred iron cavalry of the Han Army single-handedly, and he was hit by a poisoned arrow, if it wasn't for Yao Duo, the princess of Yu Kingdom, to save him, I was afraid that he would drown in Jishui.

Everything is unimaginable, unimaginable.

Shaokang was thinking about his thoughts when there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" Shaokang shouted alertly.

"Me! Yuqin. Childe, the princess asked me to take care of you, and I brought you breakfast! ”

"Come in!" Shaokang's hanging heart relaxed.

Yuqin came in with a small square table with porridge and cakes on it, as well as a butterfly of vegetables. Shaokang looked at Yuqin. I saw that she was sixteen or seventeen years old, with beautiful eyebrows; Dressed in a moonlit pleated dress, her eyes reveal a bit of naughty cleverness, and she is also a little dignified and sensible.

Yuqin brought the small square table to Shaokang's bed, and said with a smile:

"Childe, if you need anything, just command! The princess has told me to feed you! ”

"Thank you! I can eat with my right hand. Yuqin, you go out! I'll greet you when you need it! Shaokang said lightly, but there was gratitude in his tone.

Yuqin walked out of the house and waited at the door.

Shaokang ate breakfast with his right hand and put the square table on the ground. Then he lay on the bed again, very unwell. The hot sensation rushed to his left arm, and he suddenly felt unbearable pain. Shaokang thought: Hold on for a while, and Yao Duo will get the antidote back.

But the pain was like a poison ivy that bound him, making him unable to move, and he was a little unable to extricate himself. The blood seemed to be gushing out in pain. The spicy and painful sensation immediately became numb.

Although Yuqin was waiting outside the door, Shaokang didn't want to disturb. On weekdays, I'm used to doing it myself, and I'm not used to being served by a maid.

But he had a feeling. If Yao Duo is here, he may have a special expectation: he will look forward to her sitting beside him, and even leaning over his ear; I also want to see her smile, and I want to see her dimples; He would expect her to touch his head, even pull at his own clothes; also hopes that she will be coquettish to herself, or she can be "light" to him again......

Thinking of this, Shaokang couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and even his heart became hot, and the male cells all over his body were flooding. For the first time in nineteen years, it felt like thisβ€”it made his heart beat, it made him blush, it made him curious, it made him long......

The world is too forgiving, how could such an ill-fated man meet such an interesting girl? Speak in a crooked way, bold and arrogant. Saying anything "frivolous" is just teasing him. But Shaokang hopes that Yao Duo will continue to "flirt" like this, even if he will "flirt" for a lifetime, he is willing.

Thinking of Princess Yao Duo, Shaokang's pain seemed to be reduced a little.

At the same time that Shaokang was thinking about Princess Yao Duo, for some reason, Nu Ai's sister also hit his heart. Shaokang became inexplicably irritable to himself: Nu Ai and his childhood sweetheart, why didn't they get along with him for eighteen years as well as he got along with Yao Duo overnight? And he was still unconscious last night, and he haunted him when he saw it in the morning.

Why is the relationship so unfair to Nu Ai? The scene of this year's "Jiayue Festival" appeared in Shaokang's mind again......

On the day of the full moon on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, some countries still set this day as the "Jiayue Festival". The whole country is celebrating the "Jiayue Festival", and this year, the people in the Muzheng Yamen will also go home for the festival. Shaokang drove Nu Ai back to Phoenix Villa and reunited with Eniang, Grandma, and Daddy.

On a moonlit night, Eniang, Grandma, and Daddy made a table of good dishes, and according to the method of Shaokangjiao, Daddy also brewed rice wine early.

During the banquet, E-Niang first spoke:

"The first month is the beginning of the year, and the 'Jiayue Festival' is the day of reunion of people with a full moon. Shaokang and Nu Ai are both serving the country, which is really a blessing for my family! Therefore, E-Niang is happy today, and she also drinks some wine to express her expression. I hope that Shaokang will protect his family and defend the country, and he will be able to complete the great cause of rejuvenation in the future; I also hope that Nu Ai will be your brother's backing and help your brother take back the Xia Dynasty. ”

After speaking, Hou Yan drank all the wine in the cup.

Shaokang and Nu Ai both nodded, as if telling Hou Xuan: "Eniang, don't worry!" ”

Seeing that Hou Yi was so Yaxing, Daddy also spoke:

"Before you did anything for the court, Daddy has been with you to learn art. Those days, although bitter, were fulfilling. Ever since you left, I have been going to the cave every day, but it has been a man who has gone to the cave. Oh my heart! Sour and astringent. But the thought that you have something important to do makes me happy! Today, you rarely come back, I drank this glass of wine, I hope you do things safely and steadily! ”

Daddy's eyes flashed with tears, he realized something, wiped it, and drank the wine.

Seeing that Hou Yi and Ji Muxiu had drunk, Grandma also spoke:

"Grandma doesn't have any big reason to tell you, only a small wish. Kang Er is nineteen years old this year, and Nu Ai is also eighteen. It's normal to talk about marriage. I am such a daughter, and I always hope that she can meet a good person, have a lifetime to rely on, and be happy for a lifetime. In the past few years, Nu Ai's thoughts, as a mother, can understand. Today is a day of reunion, so I will drink some wine and make my words clear. Kang'er, how do you feel about Grandma's Nu Ai? Is it the same as she did to you? If you treat her, just as she does to you, can you choose a suitable day and do this major event in life! ”

After Grandma finished speaking, she drank the wine.

Hearing Grandma say it so bluntly, Nu Ai's face turned red, and she pretended to be angry and said to Grandma:

"Grandma, how can you say that?" After speaking, he looked at Shaokang with his spare eyes, not knowing what he would say.

In comparison, Grandma's words are the most difficult for Shaokang. He can gallop across the country, he can cross the sword, he can fight on the battlefield, and he can sacrifice his life for righteousness. However, he really didn't think so much about his children's personal affairs and spending a good moon. Since the age of fourteen, he knew that he and Nu Ai were not brothers and sisters, and Nu Ai had always had a strange attachment to her - that could not be said to be attachment, that is, the love of a young girl who was just beginning to fall in love with a man.

The tenderness conveyed by the female Ai between her eyebrows and eyes, if it weren't for him, which man she would be tempted to. However, Shaokang only has revenge in his heart. In his heart of revenge, he ignored the beautiful love in the world, the rippling autumn waves of Nu Ai, and the deep love of Nu Ai for him. It's his weakness! It's not even as direct as still far away from female Ai's confession.
