Chapter 60: Brother Zhao to Brother Xiang

"Brother Xiangxian! You're faster than me! Hahaha...... It's too late for my brother! Forgive sins, forgive sins! ”

Zhao Wu Zhengqing, the "real father" in Cong'er's heart, always loves to prick his buttocks, also rushed back at this time.

"It's a good day! The big guys are all right, right? Cong'er thought to herself.

Seeing that Zhao Zhengqing also entered the door, the two people above the main hall hurriedly walked down, greeted him, saluted side by side, and said to Zuo Shi: "Brother Zhao is back!" It's not late, it's not late, the foolish brother sits down two words. Brother Zhao, please! ”

Returning to the right position, the two male heads of the family were one left and one right, and the little lady retreated to the side seat and sat with Cong'er.

Shang Wu, who was abruptly suspended and stayed in the center of the main hall twice, was obviously accustomed to "surprises" again and again, so he decided not to return to his seat, but simply stood on the side of the central hall, standing side by side with the servants, waiting for the third "performance" that might come again.

Fortunately, Zhao Zhengqing has a serious matter, and he is not a master who lacks to watch the "song and dance performance", he came back to discuss the second "soldier" plan with Xiang Xu, so he naturally will not take this group of little children on the side of the hall in his eyes.

Seeing that the two adults were about to discuss business, the little lady Xiang glanced at the little guests present, took the lead in getting up, and came to the hall together, facing the two chief officials, and said while saluting: "It's rare that you two can get together here today, so I will lead the juniors to the study first, please forgive us for retiring first!" ”

"Ahh It's good. However, before leaving, can you introduce me to the two little guests without asking for advice? Although there was a room of little children, Zhao Wu swept his eyes and found two unfamiliar little faces.

"In Xia Shang You, my father is Shang Rong; It's my cousin, Shang Wu. I've seen Lord Zhao! Shang You and his sister took a step forward together, bowed their heads, and bowed their heads.

"I didn't expect that the son and girl of Lord Shang could come to my house as guests, it's really rare! To the little lady, I have to take care of you a lot, so as not to be lazy! ”

"Brother Zhao, don't worry, obey orders!" Mrs. Xiang understood that she should not be thoughtful in etiquette, so that the children of the two nobles felt that they had been treated and insulted here, and said to this group of children in unison, "Shang Gongzi, Shang girl, you guys, all go with me!" ”

After finishing speaking, Xiang Xiao Madam kept facing the direction of the two hall masters, and retreated until she took more than ten steps, almost to the threshold, before turning around.

This group of children saw Mrs. like this, and they also went backwards together, but because they didn't know how many steps back they had to finish, they retreated, and secretly turned their heads from time to time to see if Mrs. Xiang had turned around, and this group of children's heads did not turn together, and the formation was uneven, the rhythm was different, and the appearance of the body not turning was very ridiculous, especially the "little tail", which almost tripped itself when he turned his head several times, but the staggering and crumbling appearance was very cute, Amused the two heads of the family couldn't help but laugh dumbly, glanced at each other, Zhao Wu commented: "Brother Xiang Xian, your little lady, this gentleman is doing a good job!" ”

Cong'er is in this, the youngest, and his physical fitness is not strong, so he simply does not retreat, and turns around directly, regardless of whether his buttocks are directed at the two family masters, just like chasing ducks, and this group of untrained "phalanxes", face to face, "retreat" out of the main hall together, and echo with the little lady, one after the other, but it is very similar to the standard position of two shepherd dogs when herding sheep: one after the other, managing this untrained "straggler team".

After this group of "old and weak women and children" troops withdrew, Zhao Wu said to Xiang Xuzhengse: "Shangrong Laochen, the teacher of great gifts, a wise man, the three dukes are not accepted, several countries ask for each other, but they have never been able to shake their loyal old master's heart, only know that they are in seclusion, but they don't know that their descendants will appear in their own enterprises!" Although I know that even if his family is treated well, Du Zhong can not ask him to go out of the mountain to help his family. ”

Of course, Xiang Zuoshi knew this truth, and he could only add: "I am fortunate to have the song "Good Women" by the merchant girl, which is very wonderful!" It is really passed on by Dr. Shang Rong, who is neither humble nor arrogant, heroic and tragic, and high-spirited, which makes people inevitably moved and sad. ”

"Who is the wounded? I'm my sister, Qu Ye? It's been more than two years, Brother Zimu doesn't blame you, you can't get along with yourself? Zhao Wu guessed that in the heart of Xiang Zuoshi, the sister of Yin Qujian, the sister of Chu Guoling, and his fellow junior sister, died tragically in front of him in the battle not long ago.

Chu ordered Yin Qujian to have a private relationship with Zhao Wu and Xiang Xu for many years, and Xiang Xu and Zijian's brother and sister also worshiped a teacher together when they were young, and they were classmates for three years, and their relationship was very good.

And just two years ago, when the Jin State attacked the Qi State, King Chu Kang sent an army to crusade against the Zheng State, forcing the Jin State to abandon the Qi State and rescue the Zheng State. Chu Kang Wang Zhi was in the north, and decided that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to re-map the Central Plains, dominate the Central Plains, and support Sheji. As a result, the Chu soldiers waved their troops north, and ordered Yin Ze to obey the orders and act according to the plan, and the troops pointed directly at the capital of Zheng State, and paid a painful price for the victory of this war.

Senior Sister Qu Ye, who invited herself to go into battle with her brother, died in this battle, and when the rescue team of the Xiangzuo Division arrived, she was seeing a tragic situation, and the junior sister was already a fragrance jade. In those days, it was a snowstorm, the Chu soldiers lived in the south for a long time, they were not accustomed to the water and soil, they froze to death countless times, and they were unable to fight at all.

Xiang Xu, who came late, waited until her junior sister was dying after all, and she couldn't say the love in her heart, let alone have the opportunity to explain to her why the senior brother who was regarded as a "bear bag" in her eyes was so war-weary and advocated fighting soldiers, not because of his own cowardice, but for the long-term overall situation, taking into account the well-being of the people in the world.

"A battle may be a small victory, a city can be temporarily obtained, but there will be countless battles in the world, and the people will never be at peace. Why? Where the hearts of the people return, there is only the soldiers. Of course, Xiang Xu didn't have a chance to let the junior sister listen to this sentence, but in front of her grave, while spilling sake on the snow, she chanted this sentence, hoping that if there was a spirit in the sky, she could hear it and forgive him.

In fact, in Qu Ye's heart, the "cowardice" she said also has a layer of meaning, because in the year when Xiang Xu married his wife, he could have expressed his heart to her and refused the marriage arranged by the Xiang family, but she waited hard for it, and after all, she couldn't wait for any news from him. Even his big wedding and concubine were only heard about through his brother Qu Jian. She never believed that during the three-year classmate, he harassed her in every possible way, and all kinds of overtures were just "brother and sister love" after all.

"He likes to be a wife to a woman who is like a 'good woman', so I will be like her, but it is ...... It's a mistake! "About Qu Ye's last sentence to Xiang Xu, it was this sentence, which was later conveyed to Brother Xiang by Qu Jian, after listening to it at the time, Xiang Xu was ashamed and embarrassed, in this regard, he was indeed selfish, he was quite "Ye Gong is a good dragon", his words and deeds were inconsistent, and he mistook people's pure love for the original heart!
