Chapter 4 Clever young master
The woman and the head of the guard followed the old servant through the courtyard and went straight to the lobby. Another servant had already gone to dinner with the other guards. After three days of driving, the people in the convoy had not eaten anything decent, and although the old woman's stomach was empty, she had to take the child to see her wife and the head of the house, and the head of the guard had to follow.
"The Wang family has seen the lady and the head of the family." As soon as she entered, the woman bowed and saluted. She is a person who understands the rules, although the master of the courtyard is sitting on the main seat, but he still visited the woman holding the child next to him.
The owner of this family is surnamed Zhu and has a rich name. The woman's surname is Zhu, and her name is Yu (pseudonym, Zhao Ji's real name can no longer be verified, just because she is a native of Zhao State, she is called Zhao Ji in history, and the name of Zhao Ji begins in the "Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty", which means: the beauty of Zhao State. The reason why the author changed her surname to Zhu is because her birthplace is in Zhujia Lane, Handan. )
Zhao Ji is the wife of Zichu, the son of Qin, although the Zhu family is also a big family, but after all, it is a family of businessmen and has no status in the court, so he also has great respect for Zhao Ji, and the child in Zhao Ji's arms is naturally Zichu's son.
"Haha, the letter between Lord Lu and Zi Chu arrived yesterday, and the letter praised this son, and he was shocked as a prodigy, if this son is accompanied by Zheng'er, I believe that he will be his right-hand man in the future." Zhu Youcai stood up with a haha, he is the head of the family, and this first sentence naturally began with him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Ji stood up, handed the child in his arms to the maid next to him, and said as he walked: "The child who even Lord Lu praised so much must be very smart, I want to take a good look at what this prodigy looks like."
Three or two steps to the woman, took the child from her arms, because the range of movement was too large, woke up the sleeping Zhongde Zhao Qi, he rubbed his eyes, did not cry, and looked at the beauty in front of him with big eyes.
Zhao Qi guessed the identity of this woman at once, not to mention, this woman is really beautiful and moving, with slender eyebrows and big eyes, a very small nose, but the nose is very straight, the red lips are delicate, and the skin is as white as snow. Not to mention the allure of the country and the city, it is also rare in the world, no wonder Zi Chu, who is the son of the Qin State, can take a fancy to her. You must know that when Zichu saw her, she was a dancing girl, to be honest, it doesn't matter who the child in the maid's hand is.
"Oh, this child is really unusual, he doesn't cry when he wakes up, he only looks at people quietly, his face is also handsome, and it is extraordinary to grow into a fixed person." Zhao Ji hugged Zhao Qi is compliment, and she felt that even Yingzheng was not as good as Zhao Qi in her mouth.
Of course, this is formal, out of some kind of traditional upbringing. Just like the adults we usually see, when we go out with our children, we always boast about other people's families, and it is a reason to belittle our own family, even if I feel that Zhao Qi is not as good as my own politician, but when I say it, it is the opposite.
Zhao Qi doesn't think he has any ability, and he doesn't think he is good-looking, if he is really better than Yingzheng, then the unification of the six countries will not have anything to do with Yingzheng, and it will be rumored that Zhao Qi, the first emperor of the ages, will become the first emperor in the future. Of course, this is impossible, and he will not allow this kind of thing to happen, if he can not change the history of this period, he will never change it easily, because the historical changes of a period may affect the direction of the entire future history, and his wife and children are likely to disappear from the earth.
Zhao Qi is actually very unsuitable for this era. He has always thought that the rich should have a very high status, but now it seems that this is not the case, this Zhao family is also a rich and noble family, but it is the lowest level of society, otherwise he would not sell his daughter to be a singer, and the most fundamental reason for all this is the damned "heavy agriculture and suppression of business" policy.
The ancients believed that the foundation of the people was agriculture, so they looked down on commerce, resulting in very few people engaged in commerce, and they were all at the bottom of society, and their status was inferior to that of ordinary people. If there were no such policies at that time, the princes and generals would have actively promoted the development of commerce, and I believe that the economy would have been at least a hundred years ahead of now!
However, this is also Zhao Qi's own thoughts, he is powerless to change the characteristics of this era, the prince will not allow people who are richer than himself and have a similar political status to appear, once such a group of people appears, it will immediately threaten the royal power. No one can stop such a group of people who want money and military power, so not giving them any political convenience is what princes should do, and it is also an effective measure to maintain the rule of princes.
Zhao Qi's thinking was too advanced for people at this time, so he didn't plan to try to change the people around him, and the only way to make him healthy and healthy was to integrate into this era, regard himself as a part of the Warring States, and follow the pace of this era. This is what Zhao Qi needs to do the most, and it is also what Yingzheng needs most, isn't Yingzheng's ideal to unify the world and establish an imperial system? As his future master, what reason did he have to weaken the royal power?
After thinking about this, all Zhao Qi's worries disappeared, and when he looked at Zhao Ji, it was much more pleasing to the eye.
"Mrs. Wang, can this son's name and surname?" Zhao Ji turned her head and asked the woman.
"This son's name is Zhao Qi." The woman replied respectfully.
"Very good, my son is also named after Zhao Zheng here, this son can be commensurate with Zheng'er brothers, and he will have a good care in the future." Zhao Ji looked very happy, and continued to say to the woman, "In the future, the matter of the child's food will be entrusted to you, and I hope you don't want to shirk it because of trouble." ”
"No trouble, no trouble." The woman waved her hand again and again, and said, "This son has not eaten human milk since he was delivered to me, but he has eaten cleanly, and occasionally fed him with goat's milk, and is very good at serving." ”
Zhao Qi was full of black lines when he said this, and he remembered that when this woman first took him, she still opened her clothes and fed him with her own milk, he didn't bite him alive or dead, and almost suffocated under her huge breasts.
Although Zhao Qi is a child's body, his mind is already very mature, let him drink the milk of a woman whose mental age is about the same as himself, it is better to let him die, it is embarrassing.
"Oh? Is there such a time? It seems that this son is really extraordinary. Zhao Ji's eyes were full of color, it seems that weaning at this age was still a rare thing in the Warring States period.
Zhao Qi was very helpless, after experiencing these things, it is estimated that he will have resistance to women in the future.
After greeting Zhao Ji, there are people who take Wang and Zhao Qi in his arms to eat, these three days in the carriage is really cold, this period of people in a hurry to bring dry food is generally only pot helmets, flatbread, other food is easy to spoil, especially the weather in June, so they three meals a day are cold water and cakes, water or raw water, and not afraid of drinking problems, at the beginning there is goat milk, a day to drink, this thing is easy to break, bring less.
When Wang saw that he was pitiful, he wanted to feed him his own milk, he was insubordinate, and almost suffocated Wang to death several times, he was sure that he had rejected it at that time, why didn't Wang understand? Children have no human rights!
The Zhu family's food is already very good compared to the steamed buns and dry cakes that the white sergeant fed him, at least there is goat's milk, vegetables and meat. Although he has two front teeth now, he can't stop the desire to eat meat at all, picking up the pig's trotters is a meal, gnawing for a long time before leaving a little mark, it looks a little like a plum blossom.
Zhao Qi hugged the pig's trotters and smiled, appreciating his masterpiece with satisfaction, his teeth and mouth have degraded a lot, but this artistic cell has increased a lot, this will be placed in the future generations, he will gnaw the pig's trotters and can't gnaw a flower.
The old woman sent by the Zhu family to serve Zhao Qi to eat looked at the appearance of the little young master gnawing pig's trotters and laughed, she knew very well the status of this child in the family, and the lady said that this was a playmate who would accompany the little boy to grow up, and he should be treated as the little master of the family.
After seeing the little young master bite out a flower, the old woman smiled even more happily, the wrinkles on her face were piled up, and she was also happy for her wife, when the child didn't come, I heard that he was very smart, and now it seems that this is really true, eating a pig's trotters can eat so good, who has this ability?
Zhao Qi has no interest in eating, the table is full of meat, he can only look at it and drool, he can only drink some goat's milk to satisfy his hunger, what is this called? This is a temper, sitting on the table and pointing to the ground and yelling to go to the ground.
Is this worth it? The old woman took the child in her arms, patted her back and coaxed: "My little ancestor, you are still young, you can never go to the ground, and you will become a dirty child if you just hold the pig's trotters and climb to the ground."
Zhao Qi babbled and kicked endlessly, and the old woman had no choice but to put the little ancestor on the ground, and Zhao Qi stood up with the corner of the table. The old woman looked at him curiously, seeing that this posture was about to walk, of course she was not optimistic about Zhao Qi, how could there be such a little person who could walk?
If Zhao Qi knew his thoughts, he would definitely laugh at her, some children in later generations will be able to walk in seven or eight months, I am over a year old, what is so strange about learning to walk?
Zhao Qi held on to the table leg and raised his foot to take a step forward, okay, his body function has not degraded, as long as he exercises more, it won't be long before he can run, he slowly let go of the hand holding the table leg, and staggered forward, just beginning to adapt to this body, and he is still a little unaccustomed.
The old woman looked at the little young master who came over under her feet dumbfounded, her mouth was open enough to stuff an egg, the little young master she wasn't optimistic about just now was walking around on the ground now? It took a long time for him to come back to his senses, picked up the little master and ran out, shouting as he ran: "Madam, the little master can walk!"
So, a group of people gathered in a circle to watch Zhao Qi walk, quite like watching gorillas in the zoo, Zhao Qi was still a little puzzled, isn't it just walking? What's there to see? Could it be that Lao Tzu's pace is very enchanting?
This is famous, the old woman of the Zhu family said that she had a smart young master when she went out to meet people, and she could walk when she was less than a year old, and she also gnawed a plum blossom on the pig's trotters. I don't know when the woman's exaggerated technique arose, but some people actually believed this kind of talk.
The news that the Zhu family had a smart young master spread in Zhujia Lane, and Zhao Qi also began to accompany Yingzheng for seven years in the eyes of others.
