Chapter 54: The Love of Children and Daughters

Calm has returned to Qinghe County.

Quietly said to Ruoli: "Now Qinghe is safe for the time being, but now the world is unpredictable. We must step up our preparedness. ”

Ruoli nodded, and said without worry: "Now, the Wei State has no power to return to the sky. However, Qi and Jin are still in the stage of stalemate. Daddy is close to the sixtieth birthday, and he has to go to the battlefield to fight. I can't bear it! ”

"Then let's go to the Qijin border together?" Quiet said. "I'll go alone! On the battlefield, the sword and gun have no eyes, which is too dangerous. Besides, you are pregnant with Rokka, and a thousand miles of bumps are not good for adults and children! Ruoli hugged her and said.

Quiet looked at him with tears in her eyes, "Then you take Wuji and the brothers of the patrol battalion with you." ”

Ruoli wiped her tears and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm going to be a mother, and I'm still crying!" I'm going to go and I'm going to get Daddy back. Then our family went away, regardless of his country! ”

Quietly nodded in agreement.

Early the next morning, all the people of Jingjing and Qinghe sent Ruoli and Wuji out of the city ten miles away. Everyone cherished each other and said goodbye with tears.

There's nothing to do in the yamen. Quietly told Qin Zhao that he wanted to walk around the city.

Qin Zhao accompanied her out of the door and walked around the city at will. Because of the war just passed, the market seemed very deserted. The streets are sparsely populated.

When walking through an alley, there was a loud noise inside. Following the prestige, I saw a group of people gathered around the door of a steamed bun shop. The noise came from the shop.

Jing Jing and Qin Zhao walked over. When the people saw that the county order and the princess were coming, they got out of the way. I saw a child in tattered clothes lying on the ground, rolling around and shouting: "You have a kind of stoned me, and I have no money to stone!" Next to him were a few sloppy buns.

The proprietress sat on the ground and cried. The boss carried a stool and stood next to him angrily. "What's going on?" Quiet asked. When the proprietress saw the princess coming, she pounced on her like a life-saving straw.

"O Princess! This little scoundrel ate the buns in my store and didn't give money, and he smashed the pot and crushed so many buns! The proprietress cried.

The kid wanted to get up and run. was trampled on his back by Qin Zhao with one foot, "Little bastard!" Don't move! ”

Jing looked at it quietly and asked Qin Zhao, "Brother, can you bring money?" Qin Zhao took out five taels of silver. Quiet gave the money to the proprietress and said, "You clean up here and buy a new pot." The proprietress said, "How can I ask for the princess's money!" Quiet smiled and said, "Take it!" It's not easy for you to start a small business! ”

Quietly looked at the child under Qin Zhao's feet, "Brother, take him with you and go back to the yamen!" Qin Zhao walked back by his ears like a chicken.

Quietly walking and watching, this child is only fifteen or sixteen years old, with hair like a chicken nest, a black and shiny face, and a pair of beautiful big eyes. "You let go, your ears fell off!" The child screamed. "Drop it and help you get it!" Qin Zhao said.

"What's your name?" Quiet asked. "My name is Dandan!" The kid said. "Why did you come up with such a name?" Silence smiled dumbly. "I was picked up by someone next to the chicken coop and gave it this name!"

Return to the county office. Quietly put on the princess's red robe. Then he said to Qin Zhao: "Brother, ascend to the hall!" Qin Zhao called the head of the county government and ordered him to go down.

More than a dozen officials were placed on both sides. Sit quietly in the middle. Qin Zhao sat aside and did the paperwork. "Bring the convict balls to the court!" Quiet felt that the name was too awkward.

Dandan knelt in the hall. "Dandan, how old are you this year?" Quiet asked him.

"Fifteen!" He replied.

"Are there any relatives at home?"

"No, I'm an orphan!"

"And what do you live on?"

"I usually want food, but if I don't get it, I rob or steal it!"

"Why don't you work and eat with your hands?"

"It's too tiring to work!"

Quietly slapped the public case, "Dut, bold little splash!" Like you, the whole city will starve to death! In that case, I'll beat you fifty boards first! ”

"Don't! Fifty boards are beaten down, and the ass is rotten! Dandan kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"I can stop beating you for the time being, but I will punish you for working in the county office. If you want to be lazy and slippery again, I will let the servants beat you with a stick a hundred times!" Silence shouted.

"Obey the order, you must work hard!" Dandan was so scared that she almost peed her pants.

Back in the back hall, Quiet ordered a large wooden barrel to be fought. Pour hot water. "Brother, you go and bring the balls to be washed." She said to Qin Zhao. Qin Zhao was full of unhappiness, but it was not easy to say anything.

Qin Zhao brought Dan Dan into the back hall. Jing Jing went to find some clean clothes and waited under the eaves of the porch. Qin Zhao suddenly rushed out of it. Blushing and thick-necked, he said to Jing'er: "Jing'er, that egg is, it's a girl!" ”

"Girl!" The silence was also shocking. "Go in and have a look!" Qin Zhao said.

Quiet said: "Then this dress is not right!" Go to my room and get it! I'll go in and take a look. ”

"Get out!" A scream startled the silence.

She saw the balls curled up in the basin. The sludge on his face has been blistered off, revealing a fair and pink little face. A long black hair dragged on the water.

"It's me! Princess Rui! Quiet said.

"Princess!" Dan Dan saw through the mist that it was quiet, and then he put his mind at ease.

"Are you really called Dandan?" Quiet helped her wash her long hair. "Yes." She fiddled with the petals on the water.

"It's a terrible name. In the future, I will call you at ease, okay? "Speak quietly." Peace? All right! That's good! She smiled happily.

"Princess, can you be my mother?" An An turned his face and looked at the silence with big eyes flickering.

"Good! With such a beautiful girl as my daughter, I can't ask for it! But I have something to say first, you can't be lazy, otherwise I will still be unsympathetic! Quiet said, holding her face.

"Okay, mother, I'll listen to you." She stretched out her slender arms around Quiet's neck.

"Jing'er, are you all alright! The clothes were brought. My legs are numb! Qin Zhao said angrily at the door.

"Brother, put your clothes at the door! In a moment, I'll take it myself. Qin Zhao put his clothes at the door. I went to the Yamen office.

Anxin put on a quiet dress and sat down at the dresser. In the rhombic mirror, a red little face is very good-looking! Curved eyebrows, large, bright eyes. It's a bit like quiet.

Quiet helped her comb her long hair. I pulled a bun and inserted a hosta.

"Peace of mind, from tomorrow onwards, you will follow me to the Red Shirt Camp, spinning and weaving, swordsmanship, swordsmanship. Every day when you come back, Uncle Qin Zhao will teach you to read and read! Quiet said.

"Mother, why do you want to learn so much?" An An frowned.

"My quiet daughter should not be an illiterate street prankster, but a beautiful fairy, a princess who is both civil and military!" Silence pressed her face to hers.

"Yes, mother." Anxin nodded and kissed him on the quiet face.

In the textile workshop of the Red Shirt Camp, I listened attentively to the explanation of the female master. Watching their operations, they imitated them seriously.

On the martial arts training ground. Follow the orders of the female teacher, feel at ease among the female soldiers, dance with knives and swords, and be heroic!

Standing quietly not far away and watching, I was sincerely happy.

When the sun sets, quietly return to the back hall of the yamen with peace of mind. The mother and daughter hurriedly ate some food, and then asked the official to invite Qin Zhao to come.

"Master Qin, you can start teaching my little princess to read!" Quiet said with a smile.

Qin Zhao held two books in his hand, one of which was handed to An An, "An An, you take the book and sit down first!" Before I give a lecture, I have a question for you! ”

Peace of mind sat down at the desk, and quietly sat next to it.

"Peace of mind, do you know what the purpose of reading is?" Qin Zhao asked with his hands behind his back.

"Study, for literacy, in order to be like my mother, to be a talented girl!" Peace of mind said.

"What else?" Qin Zhao asked. "And, there's, I don't know!" I can't think of it when I scratch my ears and cheeks.

Qin Zhao gently tapped her head with a book and said, "There are thousands of worlds in books, and there are all living beings. There are wind and clouds, and there are sun, moon and stars. If you don't read, you don't know what it is. If you don't study, you don't know how to behave! Peace of mind, I can teach you to read and write. But how to deal with people, your mother, is the best teacher! ”

Quietly said: "Master Qin, don't be sour, hurry up and go to class!" ”

"Okay, let's go to class, let's read the three-character scripture first." Qin Zhao said.

Every day, quiet and reassuring are the two ends of the Red Shirt Camp and the county government. Come rain come shine.

Six months have passed. The autumn breeze rises and the autumn leaves wither. In the afternoon of this day, An Xin had just practiced his sword for a while, and his head was slightly sweaty. Quietly sat on a soft couch and called her: "Xin'er, come here!" ”

Anxin ran over, "Mother, I told you not to come, you still want to come!" Jing Jing smiled and said, "Let's go back early today!" I seem to be a little uncomfortable! ”

"Okay, mother, I'll help you walk slowly!"

Standing up quietly, I suddenly felt a little wrong, "Peace of mind, my stomach hurts!" "Anxin saw that her forehead was sweating profusely, and quickly helped her sit down." Mother, sit down, I'll call someone! ”

Anxin ran to the barracks and called a few female soldiers. Everyone carried Quiet into the tent together. Someone ran away to call Qin Zhao.

When Qin Zhao came over, an older female soldier was already busy inside.

After a long time, the cry of a baby could be heard from the tent. "Raw! Raw! It's a little prince! Mother and child are safe! The female soldier ran out happily and said. Qin Zhao was about to go in but was stopped by An Xin, "Master, you wait first." ”

Anxin came to the quiet bed, and cried when he watched the exhausted quiet. "What are you crying about? Silly girl! Come and see your brother! Quiet said with a smile.

Anxin looked at the little baby who had fallen asleep with his mouth open, and asked quietly: "Mother, what is my brother's name?" Jing Jing thought for a while and said, "It's the solar term of frost, right?" Just call him Frost! Zhao Hanshuang! ”

"What a beautiful name! Frost, small frost. Anxin called softly. The little baby opens its round eyes. A babbling sound came from the mouth.

Quietly hugged Anxin and Little Frost, and muttered, "Ruoli, did you forget me?" ”
