CHAPTER XV

Sure enough, as Chu Muxiu said, on the second day, His Majesty's holy decree arrived at King Yi's mansion, and Gonggong Li held the holy decree in his hand and squeezed his eyebrows at Chu Muxiu, "His Royal Highness King Yi, take the decree!" ”

"Thank you, Grandpa Li!" Chu Muxiu took the holy decree without hesitation, turned his head and sent Gonggong Li away, in fact, Gonggong Li himself didn't know that his treacherous expression just now had explained everything, Chu Muxiu never caused trouble, but he was not afraid of it......

"The Divine Decree has arrived!" On the same day, the holy decree also came to my house, the holy decree was like His Majesty arrived, the whole house had to kneel, I also knelt behind Daddy, the first time I saw Gonggong Li was when I was a child to attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, at that time I was curious that a man spoke in a tone like a little daughter-in-law, so many years have passed......

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, Prime Minister Nan Heng Wen is generous and generous, the curtain is on the ground, can see the suffering of the people, read through the worries of the people, it is really my right-hand man, this time I put forward a major event such as border disaster relief, I specially allow the prime minister or the proud person next to me to go to the border disaster relief with King Yi!"

"King Yi? Chu Muxiu? "I knelt on the ground and actually heard the word King Yi coming out of Gonggong Li's mouth, and I couldn't help but feel a little fluctuating in my heart.

"The minister takes the order!"

"Prime Minister Nan pack your bags!" Gonggong Li greeted him twice and twisted his waist and left.

"Weichen understands, Gonggong Xie reminds!"

I don't know why Daddy was stunned for a moment before he dared to accept the order, this is not like his previous style, Daddy never gets distracted when doing things, I thought maybe the border is too far, maybe he doesn't want to go, and suddenly an idea came to my heart.

Daddy held the holy decree in his hand, but his brows couldn't be unraveled, thinking in his heart why His Majesty wanted to tie himself to King Yi, wasn't he afraid that he would agree with King Yi and overthrow him......

"Daddy, Daddy......" I shook my hand in front of my dad several times before he came back to his senses suddenly, "What were you thinking just now, I called you several times and you didn't answer!" ”

"Oh, nothing!" Daddy finished speaking and went to the study.

I followed along the way, thinking about what kind of reason to go to the border instead of Daddy, "Ah Candle is in trouble?" I followed all the way, and Daddy finally turned around and asked me.

"Daddy, you want to follow His Royal Highness King Yi to the border?" I tried to test Daddy.

"If you don't go for your father, will it be possible for you to go?"

"Okay, I'll go!" Daddy's joke hit my heart, and I just picked up his words.

"You think it's boring to be idle in the house, so let's go to the street to play and lie down for a few days when I'm out!" Daddy thought I was talking nonsense, and took the initiative to let me go to the street.

"Daddy, I mean it, if you don't want to go, then I'll do it for you!"

"When did you see me unwillingly, it's just nonsense!" After Daddy finished speaking, he waved his sleeves and left.

"Daddy, I'm not messing around, I really want to go!" I hurried to follow, Daddy walked so fast that I had to trot to keep up.

"This is the holy decree of His Majesty, and he keeps saying that he wants my Nan family to come out of someone, how can it be child's play? It's not something you played with as a kid and traded around. Daddy said all the way.

"Your Majesty only said that you want one person from our Nan family, and you want Daddy to go by name?" I asked Daddy with my neck tilted.

"Not really!"

"Then you're done, Daddy, just let me go!"

"You want to go to the border so hard, don't you have some kind of calculus in your heart?" Daddy walked into the study and looked at me suspiciously, because I hadn't begged him like this since I was a child.

I followed in disappreciatively, "What can I do, I'm just idle in the house and have nothing to do!" ”

Daddy looked for books on the bookshelf: "Then go shopping with Mo'er for a few laps, and I'll ask Butler Yu to give you more silver!" ”

"On the streets? I don't know how many times I've visited this big Huancheng, I've long been bored, I want to go outside to see! ”

Daddy put down the book and looked back at me: "How many times have you finished visiting Huancheng?" How many times have you snuck out behind my back? ”

I couldn't help but swallow, "Well, it's only ten or a dozen times a month......"

"On January 30th, you can be good, half of the time is dangling on the street, this time you still want to go out, don't think I will agree!"

In fact, I didn't wander around on the street, I didn't do big things, but there were too many small things to count, like what I went to the tea shop to hear that Mr. Storyteller told the story, he said that he was wrong several times and I corrected it several times; Tell Mo'er to take more money and put a few pennies in each beggar's bowl; Help the grandmother carry things, and help the lost child find his way home. After doing this, I went to Uncle Zhang's shop to buy a bag of pine flower cakes, and then walked home while chewing the pine flower cakes, until I returned to the house, I remembered the real purpose of sneaking out on the street today and what I originally planned to buy, no wonder Mo'er was reluctant to go out with me all day long. When I saw that Daddy looked a little angry, I didn't dare to say anything, I only felt sorry for myself in my heart. Then silently walked out of Daddy's study, I began to be annoyed, it is really which pot is not opened and which pot is not opened, and the border has not yet been settled, and Daddy has found another thing, one by one, so I have no hope of going to the border......

I didn't have the heart to watch the sunset today, I just felt depressed, hiding in the room and thinking about how to persuade my father to let me go to the border, but I couldn't think of it after racking my brains.

"Babbling ......"

Mo'er held a plate of pastries, "Miss, you didn't eat at night, Aunt Song was afraid that you would starve at night and asked me to send you something to eat!" ”

"Mo'er, I'm not hungry!" I actually wanted to eat them, but when I saw that there were no pine cakes in them, I lowered my eyes and didn't want to look at them more.

"What's wrong with you, Ah Candle, you've been sullen since the Holy Decree came down this morning."

"It's okay, Mo'er, I want to go to the border with Chu Muxiu!" I timidly asked Mo'er, for this bold idea was known only to me.

"Border? I think you want to take this opportunity to meet King Yi! "Mo'er seems to see the flaw, and squeezes her eyebrows with me.

"Nonsense!" I began to panic a little, for fear that Mo'er would grab the handle and make fun of him, "I was thinking that Daddy is old, plus he has an old disease on his feet, and I'm afraid he can't bear it anymore for a long journey, and there is no eldest brother at home, so if I don't share it for Daddy, who will share it for him?" ”

"That's what Candle said!" When I heard Mo'er say this, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"If only Madame were still here, she would definitely be able to share the worries and solve problems for the master, the master wouldn't have to work so hard, and you wouldn't have to rack your brains so much!"

"Yes, it would be nice if my mother was here, and it will be my mother's death day in a while, my mother's death day, my mother's death day, Nanshan, Nanshan on the way to the border......" Speaking of these, I seemed to think of a good way to persuade Daddy to loosen his mouth, picked up the plate of pastries on the table, and immediately got up.

"What are you going to do?"

"Go find Daddy!" When I said this, I had already run out of the house, and I could hear Mo'er stumbling around.

I peeked secretly outside the study, saw Daddy reading inside, took a deep breath and stepped in, "Daddy, you should be hungry after reading for so long, let's eat something!" "I put the pastry on the table with a compliment on my face.

Daddy glanced at the pastries on the table, and then continued to read, "Isn't this what Mo'er brought into your room?" ”

I swallowed my saliva and moved my hands and feet uncomfortably, "Yes, yes, I'm just borrowing flowers to offer Buddha!" ”

"What kind of book is Daddy reading?" I also leaned my head over, "Zizhi Tongjian, good books, good books!" ”

Daddy nodded: "It is indeed a good book, you should take a good look at it at your age and learn about the political wisdom of the dynasties!" ”

"Okay, well, I'll read it when Daddy finishes reading!" This is purely to coax Daddy.,When I was a child, I didn't even want to go to private school.,Now when I grow up, I'm even more reluctant to read.,What's more, I think this kind of book talks about some big truths that I can't understand.,I don't like to read and can't read.。

"Daddy, I had a dream last night!" Taking advantage of Daddy's good mood now, I quickly started the topic.

"Oh? What dreams did you have? ”

"I dreamed of my mother-in-law, and she talked to me a lot!"

"What did she tell you?" Daddy finally put down the book, and I knew that as soon as I mentioned my mother, Daddy would be interested.

I pinched my fingers, serious, "My mother said that it is now a warm spring, and the peach blossoms in Nanshan are blooming, and she wants me to go up to Nanshan to pick a few peach blossoms for her and give them to her!"

Daddy stood up and walked out the window: "Yes, your mother loved the peach blossoms in her hometown the most before her death, and her death day will be in half a month, I don't know if she has been living there alone for so many years!" ”

Every time I mention my mother, Daddy's brows can't be unraveled, because my mother exchanged my life for my life sixteen years ago, and Daddy feels ashamed of my mother. I haven't seen my mother once, but my father always said that I look very similar to my mother, especially the eyes, which are full of aura. Nanshan is my mother's hometown, a small village on the way to the border, I haven't been there, but I heard my father say that it is a very beautiful place. Especially in spring, when all the peach blossoms in the peach blossom forest on Nanshan Mountain bloom together, the peach blossom forests are connected together and converge into a sea of pink flowers. Daddy and his mother met in that sea of flowers, Daddy passed by Nanshan when he was young, attracted by this sea of flowers, and insisted on going up to take a look, only two steps to see the mother who was picking peach blossoms among the flowers, which can be said to be love at first sight. Later, Daddy carried a sedan chair to marry his mother into the house, and his mother liked peach blossoms, so Daddy asked someone to plant the yard of the house, which made his mother happy, so that his mother could relieve his thoughts about his hometown, and then there was me, and finally my mother gave birth to me and died.

In the second year after his mother's death, Daddy cut down all the peach blossoms in the yard, because Daddy said that every time he saw these peach blossoms, he would think of his mother, and he would add a share of the thoughts and guilt of his mother......

"Yes, I don't know if my mother is doing well over there, if I can go up to Nanshan to pick a few peach blossoms for my mother and put them in front of my mother's grave, my mother will be very happy!" In fact, I was trembling when I said this, because the flowering of Nanshan is true, and my mother's dream and I are false.

"Your mother really gave you a dream, and you really want to go to the border so much?" It looks like Daddy is going to let go.

"Well, actually, I wanted to say it during the day, but I didn't seem to be happy to see Daddy, so I have been delayed until now!" I never said panic, and I was still a little scared in my heart, but this lie was so vivid that I believed it.

"But the border is far away, and it takes seven days to go back and forth, and if there are any robbers and robbers on the road, I am afraid that you will ......."

I shook Daddy's arm: "Daddy, don't panic, follow a lot of people along the way, besides, isn't he still King Yi, his martial arts skills will definitely be able to protect me, five days later it happens to be my mother's death day, I must come back with peach blossoms to my mother's grave, Daddy, you are allowed!" ”

"That'...... Okay, you can go, but you must not make trouble, you must know that this is doing things for Your Majesty Tianyue, if there is a slight mistake, it will be a loss of head! "Looking at Daddy's appearance, it seems that he has made a lot of determination, and this time his advice is like the night before ten years of going to the palace.

I finally got my father's consent and walked out of the study, "Mother, don't blame Ah Candle, Ah Candle is also forced to do so, when I go up Nanshan, I will definitely pick the best peach blossoms and send them to your tombstone; Daddy, don't blame me, Ah Candle didn't mean to lie to you, so you don't have to be tired from this trip, right? "I was talking to myself all the way, in fact, looking at Daddy's anxious eyes, I began to regret in my heart, Daddy was so worried about me, but I lied to him so much, and used my dead mother to lie to him together, which is really rebellious......
