Xia Zhengshu grew up day by day, and every day was better than the day before, which made Xia Ji and Uncle Xia Yu very excited.

Uncle Xia Yu is middle-aged, and for the first time, he has the feeling of being a father, and he is less interested in socializing outside.

It's no wonder that in addition to the warmth of Xia Ji and Xia Zhengshu who gave him home, the dishes and wine outside are much worse than those of Xia Mansion, and now the border line is much quieter, and he doesn't like the battle between the government and the palace, so he is more and more willing to accompany Xia Ji's mother and son.

Uncle Xia often feels that Xia Ji is a fairy in the world, not only because she is beautiful, but because her intelligence and knowledge are far from being comparable to ordinary people.

Sake making, stir-frying, not to mention, seedling raising, transplanting and using loaches to loosen the soil of the rice field to fatten, these things can be said to be true knowledge if a smart farmer comes up with them, the key is that she is a princess of Zheng Guo who grew up in a pampered environment, why she has such a wonderful idea, which makes him puzzled.

And in the past two days, Xia Ji's roast duck made him even more admired, this kind of delicacy that should only be in the sky will alarm you if you open a roast duck restaurant for a few days, right?

Surprised to surprised, Uncle Xia Yu felt that he loved this family even more, which made him feel incredible after decades of single life. Because if the time goes back to last year, he still thinks that being single is the most suitable state of life for him.

And Xia Ji since becoming a mother, the girl's mentality is gradually replaced by responsibility and maternal love little by little, she remembers the days when her mother was centered on her from morning to night when she was a child, she was called up by her mother in the morning, prepared for her early, drove her to school, picked her up at the school gate on time after school, and sent her to off-campus tutoring classes and interest classes on her days off, her mother always smiled and did not complain, so that she felt at ease.

And now it's her turn to do this, I understand my mother's dedication, and I understand the greatness of this kind of maternal love, thinking of this makes her even more melancholy, I don't know how painful my mother will be when she leaves suddenly, and I don't know how many gray hairs will be added to my parents' heads.

Xia Ji was in a hurry to return to Zhuye from Xinzheng, and an important purpose was to go to Chenjia Village to inquire about Qu Hao's situation, but she hadn't thought of how to go to Chenjia Village to find Chen Damao's family for a while, and it would definitely not work with Xia Ji's current identity.

And as Wu Mengyao, she must hide from everyone around her, and with her as a weak woman and a person who is born to be eye-catching, even if she disguises herself and goes alone, it is inevitable that there will be unpredictable risks.

One day, Xia Ji was playing in the pavilion in the courtyard with her child in her arms, and saw Uncle Xia Yu pulling a bow and practicing arrows in a corner of the compound, and suddenly remembered that he had mentioned that there was a natural hunting ground on the mountain behind Chenjia Village, and he had gone hunting many times.

At dinner, Natsuhime asks about hunting.

"Xianggong, have you been hunting recently?"

"No, I was busy before, but now I'm not busy and I want to accompany you and Xia Zhengshu more."

"Oh. Hunting should be fun, right? ”

"Of course, ma'am. Hunting not only reflects the hunter's ability and agility, but also exercises people's courage and patience, which is very exciting and has a sense of achievement. ”

"Oh, it's so fun, when will you let me experience it for myself?"

"Isn't it? Madame, how can a woman go hunting? Besides, you can't pull the bow, how can you hunt? ”

"I can't pull the bow, but watching you hunt is also an experience, you can feel the process of hunting."

"But climbing the mountain is very hard, you are so delicate, how can you bear this sin."

"Xianggong, you also underestimate me too much, my physical strength is very good, and there is no problem at all in climbing the mountain."

"Do you really want to go?" Uncle Xia Yu still didn't believe it.

"I really want to go, you said that the scenery of the natural hunting ground in Chenjia Village is very good, one is to see you hunting, and the other is to see the scenery."

"Okay, since Madame wants to go, I'll arrange it in two days. However, it is better not to wear a skirt, it is not convenient to walk. ”

"I want to disguise myself as a man and wear a general's uniform for a day, and you and your subordinates will call me a major general, okay?"

"Well, okay."

Two days later, Uncle Xia Yu really fulfilled his promise and prepared to set off hunting with a dozen or so sergeants selected.

Xia Ji told Chun'e and Xia Chan to take care of Xia Zhengshu, and took a carriage to Chenjia Village with Uncle Xia Yu.

After arriving at Chenjia Village, the carriage was settled, and everyone was ready to enter the mountain.

At this time, Xia Ji suddenly said to Uncle Xia Yu: "Xianggong, my stomach is a little uncomfortable, I don't want to go into the mountain, you go, I will find a family in Chenjia Village to rest and wait for you."

"Since the young general is not feeling well, then this hunting will not be fought, let's go back."

"No, General Sima. The air here is good, it's not easy to come once, you go hunting, I'll just wait for you. ”

"Alright then, Major General. I will send four sergeants to protect you. Where is the Major General going to wait for me? ”

"I'll wait for you at the farmhouse with cooking smoke." Xia Ji pointed to Chen Damao's house and said.

"Okay, Major General." Uncle Xia Yu said that he arranged for four sergeants to follow Xia Ji and explained that they would use their lives to protect the safety of the young general.

Xia Ji walked into Chen Damao's house with four sergeants, and Chen Damao's parents saw the five soldiers coming in, and hurriedly got up to say hello, and they could see that they were worried.

"Uncle and aunt, don't be nervous, we just rest." Natsuhime said.

"Oh, welcome to Master Jun. I'll go make you tea. Chen Damao's mother said.

"Okay, just the two of you in your family?" Natsuhime asked again.

"yes, the kids are doing things far away." Chen Damao's father said.

Xia Ji sat down and instructed the four sergeants, "You go out and stand guard, guard the four directions, and after a while, your aunt will make tea and let her bring it to you."

"Yes, Major General." The four sergeants answered and walked out.

After the four sergeants went out, Xia Ji lowered her voice and said to Da Mao's father, "Are you Chen Da Mao's father, Uncle Chen?"

Da Mao's father was surprised to hear the sergeant in front of him call him Uncle Chen, looked at Xia Ji carefully, and shook his head hesitantly: "Major General, but I don't know you."

"Do you remember Wu Mengyao?"

Da Mao's father looked at Xia Ji seriously, and was slightly surprised, thinking that this sergeant was a bit like Wu Mengyao, but Wu Mengyao was a woman: "Of course I know, she also saved my life." Who are you? ”

"Wu Mengyao and I are twin brothers, and my sister told me the address of your house in Chenjia Village before, so I came here."

As soon as Da Mao's father heard that Xia Ji even knew his son's name, he was convinced of what she said: "Young General, isn't Wu Mengyao already dead?"

"Yes, but my sister asked me to inquire about the whereabouts of a person before she died."

Although Chen Damao had never heard Wu Mengyao talk about his twin brothers, of course, people might not tell him about young people, not to mention that the person in front of him looked very similar to Wu Mengyao, so he asked, "Do you want to inquire about Mr. Qu's whereabouts?"

When Xia Ji heard Da Mao's father mention Mr. Qu, tears almost flowed out, nodded vigorously, and said, "Although my sister has passed away, Mr. Qu is my brother-in-law after all, so I must find him."

"Oh. Mr. Qu and Wu Mengyao are also the great benefactors of our family, and the two houses of Da Mao and Ermao were repaired by Mr. Qu with money, and Da Mao also had the money to marry a daughter-in-law thanks to his blessing. Da Mao and his three siblings all followed Mr. Qu to work in Gusu. ”

When Xia Ji heard the news, she was ecstatic in her heart, and finally found Qu Hao's accurate whereabouts: "Oh, Da Mao is married, it's really gratifying." Uncle Chen, what are they doing together? ”

"Open a big restaurant, I heard that Wu Guojun asked them to open it, and he opened one in Hanyue before, and the business was too good to be good." Da Mao's father said proudly.

"Okay, thank you Uncle Chen for telling me the truth. Uncle Chen, what I said to you is a secret, don't let any outsiders know, okay? Natsuki admonished.

"Okay." Da Mao's father agreed.

Xia Ji took out a piece of gold and handed it to Da Mao's father, and told again: "This is my personal meaning, don't tell anyone what we said, including Aunt Chen, okay."

Da Mao's father hesitated for a moment, but still took the gold, nodded seriously, and said: "Don't worry, I will never tell anyone, otherwise there will be five thunderstorms in the sky, and you will not die well."

"Okay." Xia Ji smiled knowingly when she saw Uncle Chen swearing.
