Chapter 36 Treat yourself as oneself
The Zhao family's preference for their son is an ancestral "obsession", whether it is their own family or a friend's family.
Zhao Wu was in the army of the Jin State at that time, and Xiang Xu was the doctor of the Song State, in foreign affairs, they were able to get acquainted, among them, thanks to an important person from the introduction: Shusun Leopard, is the doctor of the Lu State, he has a famous saying: "three immortals", his so-called "three immortals": refers to a person in the "morality, merit, speech" of these three aspects, if any of them can make achievements, it can be passed on for a long time, although dead or alive, this kind of reputation will always stand in the heart of the world, can really be called "immortal".
For example, Cheng Ying and Gongsun Xinjiu's righteous grace to Zhao Wu's "saving orphans" were listed as "moral immortal" by Shusun Leopard and were among the "immortal".
As the left division of the Song State, Xiang Xu saw too many wars and devastated lives, because he had a very good personal relationship with Yin Zizhong of Chu State and Luan Shu of Jin State, and saw that Song State was deeply affected by the situation of the two great powers competing for hegemony, so he suggested that he launch the "Armistice Agreement" βββ the movement to destroy the army.
In addition to promoting peace policies in political affairs, he is also a peaceful and kind person in life. This point is also deeply appreciated by Zhao Wu.
But good people may not have good rewards, natural disasters and man-made disasters, and he cannot get additional forgiveness just because he is a great good person.
In this year, in the autumn of 556 B.C., there was a strange disease in the Song Kingdom: foaming at the mouth, seeing people scratching and biting indiscriminately, afraid of water, light, and sound, and the symptoms of this disease were not only in people, but also in dogs. The Song people gradually realized that the disease might be related to dogs, so they united to expel the "dogs" on October 24βββ which is the first infectious disease recorded in existing Chinese textsβββ rabies.
And Xiang Chong, the only son of Xiang Xu's concubine, was born in the summer of this year, and died early in this rabies disaster; After the loss of her son, Mrs. Xiang was grief-stricken, did not eat or drink, and was delirious, and when she saw a child of the same age outside, she thought it was her own.
Seeing Mrs. Xiang's situation, Xiang Xu was also heartbroken, and asked people to find the same age lost orphan children who also suffered this time, thinking that the "righteous son" was held to Mrs. Xiang to feed instead of her own son, to comfort her pain of losing her child.
With this substitute son, Mrs. Xiang's spirit has become better, but she will still go crazy by accident, running around and hiding in the mansion with her son in her arms. Her nonsense made Mrs. Xiang very unhappy, and she was afraid that it would affect the growth of Xiang Zheng, the son of the Xiang family she was born, so she repeatedly suggested to Xiang Xu that she should divorce this "crazy concubine" and send her back to her parents' house.
In order to solve these backyard conflicts and give the sick concubine and son a safe living environment, Xiang Xiang asked Zhao Wu if he could place his concubine and son to go to the place where Zhao Wu was orphaned by Cheng Ying back then, and recuperate in that safe and secluded place where there is no dispute with the world. Zhao Wu, as Xiang Xu's sworn brother, naturally agreed to it and sent someone to take Xiang Xiao Lady and Cong'er to live in the place where he grew up in his childhood.
This place carries too many memories of Zhao Wu, when he wants to relax, once he has time, he will go to revisit his hometown, and at the same time visit the little lady mother and son.
Watching Cong'er grow up day by day, his love for this child is also increasing day by day, as if he has seen himself again back then. Every time I went to see them, as soon as I saw this big fat boy with pink, I couldn't help but love it, and pierced Cong'er's ass with his beard. He was also very worried about Cong'er's poor hearing, and every time he came over, he would bring a lot of newly collected prescriptions by the way, trying his best to cure the poor child.
After Xiang Xu asked for this family matter, in his career, he tried his best to cooperate with Zhao Wu, and in the two successive "Soldier Campaigns", he showed his diplomatic means, and finally achieved their desire to bring a long period of peaceful life to this troubled world.
Because of the distance, coupled with his wife's vigilance and obstruction, he personally came to visit his concubine and son, but he didn't come as much as his friend Zhao Wu, so Cong'er didn't have a deep impression of this "father" Xiang Dad, who was not related by blood.
Naturally, Cong'er never had the chance to see the shepherd dog that licked his whole body, and not long after he came, the big dog was humanely disposed of in the first nationwide βββ "Song Kingdom" dog extermination campaign in Chinese history.
The beautiful mountains and forests, the natural scenery is infinitely beautiful, and it can be regarded as a treasure land with a super good ecological environment and outstanding people.
Of course, the little animals will never be absent. All kinds of birds and birds of prey in the sky, livestock, flowers, birds, fish and insects on the earth are all harmonious and wonderful.
The beauty of mountains and rivers lies in the creation of heaven and earth; And the spirit of mountains and rivers is always because of the agility of creatures, leisurely swimming. And the most important thing to add to these spirits is the human beings, these "spirits in the spirits" who are not big in shape and have weak organs, but they have to be bowed down by other living beings and dare not despise them.
The appearance of people here should also be the "finishing touch". Just like between this flock of sheep, there are two colorful children, which makes people feel smart.
Although there are no dogs to assist in shepherding sheep, "sheep herding babies" are always the most reliable.
The neighbor boy, and his "little tail" sister, is the most admired commander of this group of sheep, the young man has super good eyesight, family martial arts, good at archery, tree climbing, he can always find better grass, drive this group of "white sheep" to enjoy.
The boy's father, the most famous hunter in the local area, learned to shepherd sheep after marrying his wife, who was also from the Song Kingdom, so he asked his son, who always pestered him to hunt, to go to shepherd sheep first, saying that when he had practiced the basic skills first, he would teach him more skills. Originally, the boy was still counting on taking the shepherd dog that he grew up with to hunt secretly, but under the dog extermination campaign, he had to say goodbye to his dog and take on the responsibility of shepherd.
And, I have to always take "put my sister" along the way, this sticky essence, either sticky to my father, or sticky to him, my mother is weaving at home, this kind of female red that girls should like, but she is completely unwilling to stay at home to do it, just like ADHD, only by throwing her into nature, can it be regarded as a "return to nature", what a "wild girl"!
In this way, "Little Tail" was spoiled by his father and brother and had no choice.
