Chapter 1052 - Don't let the eyebrows
After the time entered April, Zhao Wuxian tried to find time to spend time with his family in addition to preparing for the war. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
On this day, he had just finished the morning palace meeting and walked into the greenhouse hall of Changle Palace to prepare for a feast, when he was entangled by an eccentric spirit.
"Brother, I heard that you are going on another expedition?"
Zhao Jia, who had just turned ten, was dressed in a boy's costume, combed her horns, hung a Rui Beast jade plaque on her chest, and sat on Zhao Wuxian's knee in a yellow embroidered bird cloud pattern.
A series of questions came out of the curious girl's mouth: "Where is Wu Guo?" Why did the brother conquer them? ”
"Thousands of miles away in the south, there is a saying about the country of Wu." Zhao Wuxian couldn't resist her, so he could only explain concisely: "They have tattoos and broken hair, they don't know etiquette, they invaded your sister Xu Huan's home country many years ago, and made her displaced, and now they are even more vainly trying to plunder in the country of Lu, and they want to drive them away for their brother." ”
"Lu Guo, is it where Aman (Zhao Cao) is?" Although Zhao Jia and Zhao Cao are aunts and nephews, they are the same age, when they were children, the two little children have been happy in front of Zhao Ying's knees, and the relationship is very good, although they have been separated for several years, but Zhao Jia has not forgotten this little nephew, and Lu Guo will send gifts to her during the New Year's holidays, which makes her so unhappy.
"Not bad."
"Brother will surely drive out the wicked!"
Zhao Jia clenched his little fist, and then learned the movements of the palace maid decently, poured a glass of wine and handed it to Zhao Wuxian, congratulating him on his victory, which made Zhao Hou laugh.
Seeing that his brother was in a good mood today, Zhao Jia's eyes were shining, and he looked at him eagerly with a pair of big eyes, and said: "Uncle Zong said that the children of the Zhao family are not allowed to be crowned kings without merit......
"You ghostly." Zhao Wuxian stretched out his hand and flicked his sister's forehead, and scolded with a smile: "Are you wearing men's clothes again and listening to classes with Heng, Zhou and others." ”
"It's not that Uncle Zong's eyes are dizzy and he can't recognize people, in class, he praises me the most." Zhao Jia stuck out his tongue and admitted it.
Zhao Wuxian attaches great importance to the education of the children of the Zhao family, and he makes the knowledgeable and respected Zhao of the same sect as the uncle of the sect, managing more and more descendants of the Zhao family in the future, and at the same time allowing them to get a good education from an early age.
However, these educations are only for sons and grandsons, and have nothing to do with the princess, according to common sense, Zhao Jia should dress up as a girl, comb her hair, follow her mother, or Le Lingzi, Ji Huan, learn female red needlework, deal with etiquette, and learn how to be a fair lady.
But Zhao Jia is different from Zhao Wuxian's daughters, not like a daughter, but like a boy, she is full of vitality when she pees, and runs around like a foal. Maybe it's because her playmates are all boys, and she also likes to dress herself up as a boy, but Ruo Jinjuan changed a girl's clothes for her, but she was not happy to make a fuss.
Time flies, ten-year-old Zhao Jia has become the "eldest daughter" of Zhao State, her play is no longer limited to climbing high to the ground, in addition to secretly sneaking into Zongbo's class to listen to Shi Zhao tell the story of Zhao's ancestors, she also learned the bow and arrow from the Yulin guards. After that, she took a small bow every day, and the feather arrows that were removed from the arrows were shot everywhere, and the small animals in Ji Ying's deer park were all suffered, or plucked, or wounded, and even the birds and beasts in the garden heard the laughter of the little princess, and they rushed to the pigs, and they were terrified.
Recently, after getting a batch of dwarf ponies sent from the Nanzheng region in the south of the Qin State, she was even more obsessed with horseback riding, sitting in the saddle with a look, a woman who did not let her eyebrows go, and the small Changle Palace Garden could no longer satisfy Zhao Jia's galloping heart......
So at this moment, when she heard that there was a war in the south, she actually took the initiative to ask: "Brother, is it okay to bring Jia Ke with you on this expedition?" I can ride a horse and shoot arrows, and I can fight better than Zhou and Thorn, so I can be the right for you! Be a knight! ”
"Hahahaha." This child's words were unscrupulous, which made Zhao Wuxian laugh, and pointed at her and said: "The man is outside, the woman is inside, you just have to play around in the palace, the battlefield is very bloody, and its dirty and chaotic is unimaginable to ordinary people, how can you go anywhere?" ”
Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhao Jia changed color, raised her eyebrows, and said unconvinced: "Who said that my daughter's family can't go to the battlefield?" When Zong Bo talked about the past of the ancestors of the Zhao family in the Yin Shang period, he mentioned that eight hundred years ago, the man surnamed Ying still had to follow behind the chariot of the woman, and listen to her order to charge into battle! ”
"That's the time, the time." Zhao Wuxian knew that it was useless to reason with a child of this age, so he shook his head helplessly and thought: "It's really worthy of being Wuzi's daughter, this stubbornness is very similar to her father's temper ......."
He simply said perfunctorily: "You are still young now, and you are not as tall as a horse, how can you go with me on the expedition?" Wait until you are ready, if you are really itchy, when I return from the battle to hunt, I will take you with me. Spring harvest, summer seedlings, autumn and winter hunting, hunting is training, so that you can also feel the atmosphere of the battlefield. ”
Zhao Jia was not fooled, pouted and said: "My brother said a few years ago that he would take me to Daibei to see the grassland, but he repeatedly postponed it to be invalidated......
It's not good for the little ghost to be too smart, Zhao Wuxian is also helpless, in the past few years, he has hardly been stable for a month, either natural disasters or wars, either expeditions or feudal marquis, and his footprints are all over the Central Plains, how can he have time to take his little sister to patrol and hunt.
However, he really hopes that after defeating Wu Guo, Zhao Guo can have a stable development time, and he can steal half a day to accompany his wife, children and sisters, and not be so tired.
Thinking of this, he raised a hand and smiled: "I promise you, I will definitely promise this time." ”
Zhao Jia, who was originally a little disappointed, immediately lit up her eyes, stretched out her little thumb to hook Zhao Wuxian's hand, and said, "One word is a deal!" ”
"You have no jokes!"
The little hand holds the big hand, and the eldest brother is like a father, and he is happy. The palace people see it in their eyes, and their hearts are also very warm, although this little princess is naughty, she actually has a good heart, and has never bullied them, in front of the princess, Zhao Hou will completely put down the shelf, like an ordinary father and brother, so that the solemn palace atmosphere is relaxed.
But they soon cheered up again, because with a shout, a line of honor guards came from outside the palace to the inside, under the crank yellow umbrella is a spacious step, the curtain is fluttering, the person sitting inside is wearing a crown, the long skirt falls to the ground, revealing a grace and majesty, everyone knows, this is Mrs. Jun arrived......
……
Zhao Wuxian's Mrs. Jun is Le Lingzi, she is not wearing a dress today, she is just wearing a regular dress, a tender green palace dress, as gentle and pleasant as the spring light that has just passed, setting off her slender figure, but also not looking charming. She approached and faced the worship of the palace maids, her eyes were gentle, and her smile was like spring rain moisturizing things, silent and refreshing.
But when she approached, Zhao Jia showed a trace of fear in her eyes, and shrank behind Zhao Wuxian.
The little princess and Mrs. Xu Huan are very cordial, not so much like sisters, but like mother and daughter, she ran to Changqiu Palace when she had something to do, frightened the animals in the deer garden, and trampled on all kinds of grass and trees, although Ji Huan was distressed, she only gently reprimanded her, and wiped the dirt and thorn balls off her clothes.
But Zhao Jia is afraid of Mrs. Jun, which is also something that everyone in Changle Palace knows.
Perhaps it was Le Lingzi who was in charge of the Zhao family's harem, and the constraints in the palace were relatively strict, and he was a little unhappy with Zhao Jia messing around, and often summoned him to the past to apply for punishment. In addition, once Zhao Jia was happy and caught a cold and contracted a disease, and after being personally diagnosed and treated by Le Lingzi, he couldn't help but say that he poured a few mouthfuls of bitter medicine soup and pricked needles in his buttocks, Zhao Jia, who has always been stubborn and strong, was most afraid of these two things, and suddenly cried.
Although her illness was cured quickly, she would never enter the gate of Changxin Palace again, and she would hide far away when she saw Le Lingzi's honor guard from afar.
Seeing that Le Lingzi came to the greenhouse hall to dine with Zhao Hou, Zhao Jia was intimidated, she lost her liveliness just now, and after saluting Lingzi a little timidly, she said goodbye to Zhao Wuxian and left in a hurry.
"In this palace, the lady can cure her." Zhao Wuxian didn't think there was anything, and looked at Zhao Jia's figure from tending to trotting and laughing.
Le Lingzi looked at the girl in men's clothes and frowned slightly, but she didn't say anything.
Zhao Wuxian's lunch was not extravagant, neither the extravagant but ordinary "Zhou Bazhen" on the countertop, nor the complicated and complicated 100 dishes for him to choose from, just some noodles as the main meal, and his preferred southern rice.
As for the dishes that accompany the meal, there are tender meat sizzling on a bronze stove, copper beans with meat sauce and copper spoons with fruits, and spoons and daggers, which are only enough to fill half a case.
When Zhao Hou was eating, the irrelevant personnel retreated, although Le Lingzi was a gentleman's wife, but she always insisted on carrying out her wife's duty and personally serving her husband to eat. Then she smiled and watched him chew slowly, only a few bites of her own - she was still serving her dead brother.
After the meal, there was a palace maid with a copper basket to let Zhao Hou wash.
It was only at this time that Le Lingzi said: "My husband is distressed that Jia has no father since she was a child, and she should be pampered, but she is a daughter after all, and she is now ten years old, and she will have to meet her relatives in a few years." As a princess, she represents not only herself, but also the dignity of Zhao Guo's office, and she should also be taught what should be taught, she can't always wear men's clothes, dance swords and open bows, and mingle with boys, and it will cause gossip if it is spread......"
Zhao Wuxian groaned, he knew these things, but Wuxian's daughters were still young and couldn't play with her, so she could only be with her sons.
Among them, Zhao Cao, who was closest to her, went to Lu a long time ago, and although Le Lingzi's son Zhao Heng was only six years old, he inherited his mother's intelligence, and he was accompanied by a group of Song Guole's children; Although Zhao Wuxian's nephew Zhao Zhou likes to follow Zhao Jia very much, his mother Han Ji lives in a simple house like Xianglin's sister-in-law, and Zhao Zhou is not allowed to run around. In this way, Zhao Jia's playmates are only Qin Guo's proton, Gongzi Thorn.
Since the old son's thorn came to Zhao as a hostage, he was regarded by Zhao Jia as a new follower, and no matter what Zhao Jia did recently, he basically pulled the son's thorn. He has also become an outsider who enters and exits Changle Palace most frequently, although he is a seven-year-old kid who has nothing to guard against, but Wuxian is still as good as a stream.
"Although Gongzi Thorn is regarded as a child of a small sect, there is still a ban on the palace, and the number of times he enters and exits Changle Palace should be reduced."
He smiled at Le Lingzi and said: "As for other things, since the male protagonist and the female protagonist are inside, since the widow has handed over the Changle Palace to Mrs. to manage, how to establish the rules of the palace, how to educate her well, so that she can have a princess and daughter, Mrs. will do it." ”
Le Lingzi put his mind at ease, but he listened to Wuxian and said: "Calling Mrs. to come to dinner with me today, in fact, there is something I want to tell you." ”
"I wonder what happened to my husband?" Le Lingzi knew that it was not easy for Zhao Wuxian to find time to stay in the greenhouse hall for so long in his busy schedule.
"Lone is about to go on an expedition to Sishang, and all the affairs of the country will be handed over to Xiangbang Dongzi, he is a third-generation old minister of the Zhao family, loyal, shrewd and capable, with him sitting in Yecheng, Lone is very relieved."
He stretched out another finger: "But there is only one thing, although the widow is in charge of the Chinese army, and it is very safe to be protected by Yulin guards, but some things still have to be prepared for a rainy day, if the widow has any three strengths and two weaknesses, I don't want the Zhao country to be ownerless and fall apart......"
"Husband Hongfu Qitian, he will definitely return safely!"
Le Lingzi trembled when she heard this, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop her husband's ominous words, but Zhao Wuxian took her hand, hugged her into his arms, and said with a smile: "The position of the prince is vacant, and the hearts of the people cannot be stable." Therefore, Gu planned to make Heng the crown prince of Zhao before the expedition......"
