"Childe, why don't you know that Madame is from Jicheng?" Qin Wan asked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"My mother has passed away a long time ago, and I don't have any impression of her, so how can I know where my mother is from. By the way, Xu San, you must know what happened back then, you tell us what the situation was. ”

Xu San said leisurely: "When the general led his troops to fight against the Huns, he was surrounded and intercepted by five times the enemy army, and the general led us to break through desperately, and in the end only a few thousand people succeeded in breaking through. And in order to cover us, the general personally led the army to fight with the Huns for a whole day and night. We first withdrew a few thousand people, led by Wang Shicheng and Li Chang, and retreated in the direction of Handan. At that time, I was only a small centurion, and I thanked the general for saving his life, and led the only sixty people under my command to go back to meet the general, and in the end only me and the general came back alive. ”

"And then? What happened next? Qin Wan asked in a low voice.

"And then? And then I lost that arm. Xu San pointed to his empty left hand, and then said: "And the general is also seriously wounded, the two of us rode horses in the direction of Handan, and before we could go far, I lost too much blood and fell under the horse, and the general also fainted because of the injuries on his body, and when I woke up, we were already lying on a bed, and the wound was also bandaged." ”

"Who saved you?"

"It was a medicine farmer who lived nearby who found us when he went up the mountain to collect medicine and rescued us. Fortunately, the general's injury was not fatal, but he lost a little blood, and he was tired and couldn't wake up. The medicine farmer has a daughter, who is as beautiful as a flower, and cares for your father, and your father was also a strong man at that time, and the two got along day and night for more than two months, and they had feelings for each other, so the two made a private decision for life. Before leaving, the general told the woman that within two months he would send a bride price to propose marriage. ”

"That woman is my mother?"

"Yes, just because Mrs. is Han, after the general reported the proposal to His Majesty, he was strongly opposed by His Majesty, because His Majesty intended to marry his daughter to the general, and the general refused to live or die, and His Majesty also scolded your father with a hundred rods on the main hall, and later His Majesty saw that the general refused to obey the arrangement, and His Majesty's own daughter did not want to marry the Han, so the matter was stopped, but the general had just recovered from his injuries and was scolded by the cane, so he could only lie sick in bed, and sent me to take your mother back to Yecheng."

"And then?" Shi Min asked.

"Later, the general and his wife got married, and your grandfather died of illness the following year, and that year, you were also born. Three or four years later, my wife also died of illness, and the general was in pain and never remarried, and because I lost an arm, the general ordered me to take care of you at home and take care of this family. You know the rest of the story. ”

"I can't imagine that the general is iron-clad and has a tender side, and it is really touching to be so affectionate to his wife." Qin Wan said with a sigh.

"No wonder I don't have much of an impression of my mother, and my father is always silent every year on my mother's sacrifice day."

"The general is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, not only because his wife is outstanding, but also because his wife's family has a life-saving grace for the general, and the relationship between the two is very good, so the general has always remembered his wife. So today, Miss Qin made this cake, and the general recognized it at a glance as the practice of the people of Jicheng, which evoked the general's memories of his wife, so he left first without saying a word. ”

"Miss Qin, it's not too early, you should go back and rest early. Thank you for the stuff you made today, it was delicious. Shi Min said with a smile.

"I'm sorry Childe, I didn't know this story of the general and his wife, I didn't expect this cake to remind the general of the sad past." Qin Wan said, looking at Shi Min with some uneasiness.

"It's okay, Dad is just seeing things and thinking about people, you don't have to worry."

"Then I'll go back to the room first, and Childe and Brother Xu will rest early." Qin Wan looked at Shi Min and Xu San, and silently turned around and left.

"In this way, I should call you Third Uncle, not Xu San." Shi Min turned his head and looked at Xu San who was sitting on the side.

"Childe doesn't have to say that, since the general saved me, my life was given by the general, and it is right to be a cow and a horse, not to mention that you are the only son of the general, in my eyes, you are what the general looked like when he was young, so it's okay to call me Xu San." Xu San's eyes glistened with tears.

"But you saved your father too, didn't you?" Shi Min looked at Xu San, under the dim candlelight, Xu San's head was already clearly full of gray hair, and his face also had a lot of wrinkles, looking a little old.

Xu San patted Shi Min's shoulder gently, then slowly got up and said, "Tomorrow you will go to the barracks with the general, I'll go clean up for you, you go to bed early." ”

Xu San said, his steps staggered away.

Shi Min looked at Xu San's back, his back didn't seem to be as straight as when he was a child, and the tall Xu San in his impression was a little thin in Shi Min's eyes at this time. He was brought up by Xu San since he was a child, and he has never regarded Xu San as his relative, but he is just a more trusted family member, but he didn't expect Xu San to have such a relationship with his family.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Shi Min got up, wearing the goose feather armor given to him by Shi Hu, and waited for Shi Zhan at the door early, ready to follow him to the barracks.

And Xu San had already gotten up, arranging to load the money and property rewarded by Shi Hu into the car, and was preparing to send his family to the military camp outside the city. Seeing that Shi Min got up early in the morning, Xu San stepped forward and asked, "Childe got up so early?" Let's go get something to eat first, I'm afraid the general won't leave until a while. ”

"Hasn't my father gotten up yet?" Shi Min asked.

"I've gotten up, and I've already sent clothes and toiletry."

"That's fine, I'll just wait here." Shi Min said with a smile.

Because Qin Wan had to take care of her father, she got up early every morning to go to the kitchen to cook food, and boiled medicine by the way. Early in the morning, Steward Xu took the family to busy the front and back. ”

"Gongzi will live in the military camp outside the city with the general from today onwards, so Steward Xu ordered someone to prepare some more things for Gongzi and the general."

"What? Childe is going to the barracks? Qin Wan's face changed instantly, and she threw down the things in her hand and ran out.

"Wan'er, where are you going? What to do with this medicine and the contents of the pot? Li Ma asked.

Qin Wan replied without replying: "Mother Li, you help me take a look, I'll come back later." ”

Mama Li looked at Qin Wan's back, and Mama Gu, who was burning the fire on the stove, covered her mouth and smiled secretly.

Qin Wan ran to the door and saw that Shi Min was talking to Xu San, so she stood behind the door and watched, without stepping forward. When Xu San saw Qin Wan behind the door, he naturally understood that Qin Wan wanted to talk to Shi Min, so he found an excuse to go and get busy first, and when Qin Wan saw Xu San walking away, she walked out from behind the door, stood behind Shi Min and shouted softly, "Childe." ”

Shi Min turned around, saw that it was Qin Wan, and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?" Didn't you boil medicine for your father? ”

"I heard you're going to the barracks?" Qin Wan snorted.

"Yes, my father is going to take me to the barracks to learn how to lead soldiers into battle, so I have to live in the barracks."

"And how long will it take you to get back?" Qin Wan's tone trembled a little.

Shi Min looked at Qin Wan and said with some reluctance: "This is not sure yet, I will come back to see you when I have time, you and your father will stay here first, and Uncle Xu will take care of you." ”

"There must be no food and sleep in this barracks, why don't you take me to the barracks with your son, I can do laundry and cook for my son, is this good?"

"No, the army has military regulations, and no women are allowed to enter or leave the barracks, otherwise they will be killed, so you can stay at home with peace of mind, and if you have something, you can find Uncle Xu, or ask him to go to the barracks to find me."

While the two were talking, a family member suddenly shouted at the door: "General! ”

Shi Min and Qin Wan turned their heads to see that Shi Zhan was already dressed in military uniforms and walked over, looking at Shi Min and Qin Wan with their eyes.

"Father!" Shi Min bowed his head and saluted silently and shouted.

"The general ...... early" Qin Wan was not rude.

"Hmm......" Shi Zhan nodded silently in agreement, and then said to Qin Wan: "Girl, go back and take care of your father first, I have something to say to Min'er." ”

Qin Wan looked at Shi Min, Shi Min secretly looked at her and asked her to go first, so Qin Wan saluted Shi Zhan helplessly and said, "Yes......"

Seeing Qin Wan leaving, Shi Zhan looked at Shi Min's Yan Ling Armor, and asked with a somewhat solemn face, "This Yan Ling Armor was given to you by His Majesty?" ”

Shi Zhan patted his armor proudly and replied, "Yes, father, how am I wearing this goose feather armor?" ”

"Take it off." Shi Zhan ordered.

Shi Min was stunned for a moment, looked at Shi Zhan with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Why is this?" Isn't it to the barracks? You can't wear civilian clothes when you go to the barracks, right? ”

Shi Zhan glanced at Shi Min and said, "It's right to go to the barracks, and it's not wrong to not wear civilian clothes in the barracks, but you're not qualified to wear this Yanling armor now." ”
