Chapter 77: Children and Daughters (2)
It is a very tiring thing to take care of a child, although Ruoxiu and I did not bring a pair of children by ourselves, because Ruoxiu suffered a little cold when she gave birth, and her health was not very good, and she needed to recuperate, and I was ordered to go to Zhuo County when the child was only ten days old.
Before that, I accompanied Ruoxiu every day, and Ruoxiu had to watch the child every day, and by the way, she glanced at me twice, or because I was dangling in front of her all the time.
And I thought it was amazing to think that I was only 18 years old and became a father like that. I can watch them sleep in front of their cradle where they lie so that I can spend an afternoon without noticing.
However, after only a few days, I began to wonder if the two of them had made a mistake in gender, because Seungpyeong lay quietly in most cases, while Anping was the complete opposite, as soon as she woke up, she would cry "wow wow wow wow", and she would stretch out her two little fleshy hands and scratch up and down, I was almost annoyed by her.
"Look at the temperament of the two of them, Anping is so noisy, I don't know what to do when I grow up!" One day I was so annoyed by her that I complained to Ruoxiu.
Ruo Xiu smiled: "I heard my mother mention it two days ago, saying that you were also a bad person when you were a child, and now you are not a gentle and introverted person?" ”
I...... For example, I didn't know what it was like when I was a child, so I couldn't refute it, so I had to silently agree with her words.
I thought that Anping might be as big as Sanniang when she grew up, and when she thought of the world when she grew up, I thought that it might be better like this, so I didn't think about it anymore.
One of the strange things is that I rarely think about what will happen in the future, and I feel that everything in the future is illusory and useless. But now, as soon as I see these two children, I can't help but think about the future, thinking that when I was killed by Li Shimin a long time later, they should have grown up and become a family.
After Ruoxiu gave birth to a child, Yu Wenhua finally sent someone to let me go to Zhuo County, saying that I was mainly responsible for the management of taxes and grain along the canal, which was a trivial matter for me, after all, it was such an errand that I used to do in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
I thought about it, since I became close to Ruo Xiu, I have never left her to go too far, and now her body has not fully recovered, and Chengping and Anping are not yet full moon, but I am going to leave them for a while.
I don't want to go.
This is the first time I have felt reluctant for the first time since Ruoxiu left last time, and I looked at a pair of children again, and An Ping looked at me with wide eyes, and he didn't cry very cooperatively.
Ruo Xiu smiled: "Wait for you to come back." She leaned back on the bed, her reddish eyes smiling deeply, as if to comfort me.
This comfort made me even more sad, and I took her hand and said, "Wait until I come back." ”
When I turned around, I couldn't bear to look back, for fear that my moist eyes would be seen by Ruoxiu.
"Heroes are short of breath, and children are long!" Before I reached the front yard, Zhang Wensu's always unruly voice appeared, and he walked towards me, smiling and holding a flute, as if he was about to go out.
I reluctantly put away my uncomfortable mood and asked without much energy, "Mr. Zhang is going to the teahouse again?" ”
He smiled and said, "Yes, Childe might as well go to the teahouse to sit down and go." ”
I thought if I had time to go to the teahouse to sit down, why didn't I spend more time with Ruoxiu and the child? Zhang Wensu didn't understand it at all.
I shook my head and said, "I'm not going." Mr. Zhang, I have always wanted to ask Mr. Xun where he has gone now, I haven't seen him for a long time. ”
Zhang Wensu smiled: "He? Boss Ding's old club, the 'Qing No Return' dance shop, had an accident, and Xun Yi was entrusted by Boss Ding to go to Jiankang to deal with the matter. ”
I was stunned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
He said with a smile: "Boss Ding has always disliked other people's meddling, Wen Su didn't dare to ask more, Childe wanted to know, you can ask Cao Fu, but this matter has nothing to do with Qingyu Pavilion, and he may not tell Childe." ”
I thought about it, since it has nothing to do with Qingyu Pavilion, I have no reason to ask, so I only said to Zhang Wensu: "Is there a teahouse in Zhuo County?" ”
Zhang Wensu smiled: "There are all over the world, but ......"
"But what?"
Zhang Wensu said a little embarrassed: "But I'm afraid the owner of the teahouse won't obey the son." ”
I said, "Why?" "I regretted it after asking.
Zhang Wensu shook his head and said, "After Zen Master Huitong was killed, the owner of the teahouse learned that the new pavilion master was only a teenager...... Ahem, he openly declared that he would no longer be loyal to the Qingyu Pavilion, which everyone knew. Because it has nothing to do with the Central Plains, it has not been ignored. If the son has something to do in Hebei, he can pass the book to Luoyang and inform Boss Ding. ”
I asked, "Who is the owner of the teahouse in Zhuo County?" ”
Zhang Wensu said: "I was originally from the Xu clan, but I later changed my name, this person's identity is secret, and no one knows who he is." ”
I nodded, indicating that I understood. His description made me very interested in this master.
In the early spring, the Yellow River has not completely thawed, and I am in Luoyang, and I have begun to imagine the miserable scene on the Yongji Canal from Tongguan to Zhuojun.
When passing through Luoyang, the eastern capital of Luoyang has changed its appearance, which is different from the last time I came, in Luoyang City, there are more and more people staying in it, and there is a thriving scene, which makes me can't help but suspect that the corpses I saw outside the city before are just illusions.
In fact, I know no, this city is magnificent, teahouses and restaurants are lined up, and it is easy to forget the miserable scene when this city was built in such an environment - Yu Wenhua and it was only after meeting here that he became such an indifferent person.
Looking at the crowd around me, I wanted to hate the people who built the city, but I found that I couldn't hate it at all.
Because the Yellow River would have to wait a few days for it to pass, I rested in Luoyang for a few days, and now I finally knew the person who wrote to me to say hello.
It's Wang Jue.
He still lives in the old man Ziyi in Bishan, but Zheng Jibo went out again because of the conscription of the imperial court.
When I followed the route I remembered when I came to the old man's wooden house Ziyi, the snow had not melted in front of the door, and Zheng Jibo's daughter Zimin was in front of the door and didn't know what to do.
She was a little taller, and her eyes glistened with surprise when she saw me, and she remembered me.
Then I knew that except for Wang Qi, who lived in the old man Ziyi, the only people who visited the old man Ziyi were her father Zheng Jibo and Zen Master Zhiyue, and there was no one else.
When she saw me, she said, "Congratulations to Gongzi Li for getting married, huh...... I also became a father, and Master said that you are very blessed. ”
I was overwhelmed by her words.
I smiled a little embarrassedly: "Zimin, you go and tell your master, just say that Li Jiancheng is visiting." ”
She smiled: "You don't need to tell, Childe can just go in directly." ”
I thought about it, and it seemed like a faux pas.
When she saw me stunned, she said, "Master said that everyone who can find me here is a guest, and those who come will not refuse, let alone you, Gongzi!" ”
