Chapter 122 News

"It's getting late, let's rest early. It's cool at night, so be careful yourself. ”

"You know, you're about to catch up with my brother."

Zhang Ziqian smiled: "How can I have the might of the son." ”

"I mean, your nagging skills are almost on par with him."

Zhang Ziqian smiled, said a few words of gossip and left: "I'll go back first, I don't know if the two monkeys are making trouble again." ”

Xiao Dong stood up to see him off, the hull of the boat shook slightly, she didn't stand firm, Zhang Ziqian moved very fast, and grabbed her arm: "It's okay, right?" ”

"It's okay, it's just fierce."

As soon as Xiao Dong stood firm, Zhang Ziqian naturally retracted his hand.

He reached out to help her just now, and that action ...... That speed-Xiao Dong's heart suddenly moved, and he asked softly: "Brother Ziqian, in fact, when you came out this time, my father entrusted you to take care of me, right?" ”

This should have been a good idea, but she didn't realize it until now.

Zhang Ziqian's skills are obviously excellent, although Xiao Dong doesn't understand, but she knows that Zhao Lu and Qin Lie are not his opponents. King An said that he wanted to go out and travel, and asked them to take care of him. In fact, where is this, obviously Zhang Ziqian followed all the way, and he has to go all the way back, obviously to protect her.

Zhang Ziqian just smiled, neither admitting it, but also not denying it.

That's right.

Xiao Dong was grateful and a little uneasy in his heart.

In the evening, she talked to Qin Lie about this and whispered: "Father is always thoughtful for me everywhere, I haven't even understood ......."

In this world, parents' kindness to their children is really unconditional and does not ask for anything in return. As long as the child is happy, the parents have nothing else to ask for. That's why there is a poem that says: Whoever says an inch of grass will be rewarded with three springs.

Qin Lie also felt a slight sour feeling in his heart. He grew up without a father and lived with his mother. In his life, if there is anyone who most resembles the role of a father - it is only King An.

Humble, versatile, noble...... Sometimes Qin Lie would think about what his father, whom he had never met, should be like. The Qin clan couldn't say clearly, but Qin Lie always thought that he should be like King An.

"Let's go back, let's move back to the palace to spend the winter."

Xiao Dong was stunned for a moment, leaned on his chest, and raised his head: "Are you serious? ”

Of course she wanted to go back and live. First, I don't worry about King An, and second, I ...... There were only her and Qin Lie in the new house, and he was not at home during the day, and she was really bored and panicked alone.

"Well, the prince is not in the mansion either, and the prince is alone...... It must be lonely. Besides, the winter in the capital sometimes has more than half a year, and the weather is cold, and I don't feel at ease if you are bored at home alone. It's better for us to go back to the palace together, eat and eat, although the charcoal is good. ”

Xiao Dong couldn't help but laugh with a puff: "Aren't you afraid that people will say that you are a son-in-law who eats soft rice and climbs nepotism?" ”

"Hey, they can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour. They want to eat this soft rice, but they can't eat it. Qin Lie pouted and leaned over, smacking like a big fat-headed fish: "Come on, come on, let me take a bite." ”

Xiao Dong giggled and dodged, and the two rolled on the couch. Xiao Dong's strength was weak, but he was still held down in the end, and he "ate" several bites solidly. Because she was on a boat and had to hurry tomorrow, Qin Lie let her go, otherwise it would be more than just "eating" two bites. Xiao Dong was panting and begging for mercy again and again, and Qin Lie let go of his hand.

The two of them lay down separately, and after a while, Xiao Dong whispered, "Let's leave tomorrow, there won't be any more trouble, right?" ”

"It's fine." Qin Lie said: "As soon as Hui Yan dies, the others will not be able to become a climate. In fact, to put it bluntly, the unfounded business they did was already harmful, and sooner or later there will be retribution. ”

That's right. Hui Yan must have killed no less. In the end, he was killed, and it can also be said that Tianli Zhaozhao was unhappy. Xiao Dong asked casually: "Zhang Ziqian's kung fu doesn't know where to learn it, it should be very powerful, right?" ”

Xiao Dong remembered that when he was in King An's Mansion, he once saw Zhang Ziqian and Zhao Lu fighting, neither of them used weapons, Zhao Lu used a long pole, and he used spearmanship. Zhang Ziqian used a wicker, which seemed to be a swordsmanship.

Qin Lie had a lock of her hair wrapped around his fingers, a little absent-minded: "He has practiced kung fu since he was a child, and someone has pressed his muscles and bones for him since he was one or two years old......

"How do you know?"

"I've heard of it." He didn't seem to want to say much about this: "Sleep, the boat will sail on the fifth watch, and when you wake up, you won't be able to sleep again." ”

"Hmm."

Xiao Dongmo thought vaguely, and he didn't know what Zhang Ziqian's origin was, why he had such a kung fu body, and he had been a female companion and a man for so many years......

The next day, the weather was excellent, and Xiaodong woke up only when the sun shone on his eyes. She sat up, the porthole was ajar, the sun was shining in, and the ship was already open. Xiao Dong looked out, he was already away from Fenglindu, and he didn't know how far he had gone. There were many maple trees around Fenglindu, and she didn't feel it when she passed by here last time, but yesterday the boat stopped there again, and she couldn't feel it in any way when she looked at the deep red as blood from far and near.

Now that he couldn't see those maple trees, Xiao Dong breathed a sigh of relief.

Hongfu came in from outside with water, and hurriedly came over and closed the window: "The wind on the river is cold, Mother Hu is about to talk about you." ”

Xiao Dong smiled at her, washed his face and changed his clothes, and had breakfast again. There was no other pastime when sitting on the boat, and several people gathered together to do needlework and talk. There are also leaf cards, horse chess, and unchaining these gadgets on the boat. Hu Shi came down after playing two games, and watched them play with a smile. The weather was much cooler than when they came, and there was a variety of food to eat. Peanuts and chestnuts, freshly picked apples and pears. Peanuts and chestnuts are boiled and served on a plate. Hu peeled the peanuts and handed them to Xiao Dong.

"I'll peel it myself, and you can eat it too, Mom."

Hu Shi chewed peanuts and took another sip of tea: "This mountain and wild thing still tastes fragrant like this." In the house, it is ground and steamed, and so many things are mixed in it, and it is eaten instead of the original flavor. If you go like this, you can get to the capital in half a month, right? ”

Xiao Dong couldn't say for sure, but looking at Hu's appearance, he followed her and said, "It should be possible." ”

Hu should also miss the capital.

People always love their families, and no matter how good they are outside, they feel inferior to their own nests.

The older you get, the more so.

This way is also very smooth, after Xuanzhou after two days of rain, the trip was delayed so once, and when I returned to the capital, it was already late autumn, full of frost and grass. When he entered the city gate, Xiao Dong lifted the curtain and looked out, and the wind blowing on his face seemed to have a familiar atmosphere.

She felt her nose sour, and she almost burst into tears.

The people in the car behind were also very excited, especially Miao'er and their little girls, chattering and laughing. If the Hu family had scolded them normally, but at this time, the Hu family didn't care about them.

"Shall you go home first?"

"Well, you go back to the house first, rest and settle down, and I will go to the shop in the back car and unload the goods. By the way, I have to send someone to deliver a letter to the prince. ”

"It's up to you to say that."

The person who sent Xin'er to King An's Mansion came back soon, and replied to Xiaodong with a smile: "The prince happened to be at home, and said that the county lord and uncle should go back to eat together in the evening." ”

"Got it. Is my father in good health? ”

"The palace is safe, I heard that the prince has been promoted."

"Really?" Xiao Dong was very surprised: "What official has you promoted?" ”

The daughter-in-law who passed the word was a little unclear, and she was in a hurry to come back, but she heard a half-claw. Xiao Dong didn't ask any more questions, and sent her down.

Hongfu and the others came and went to pack and move things, Hongjing was very literate, and they counted like a booklet. Hu Shi came in from outside, turned around and closed the door, and whispered, "County Lord." ”

Xiao Dong saw that she had something to say, stood up and entered the inner room, and Hu followed in.

"I just heard that the five horses have passed away."

Xiao Dong was stunned: "When did it happen?" ”

"It's been half a month."

The fifth princess also asked them to find Langzhong, but they didn't have time.

Xiao Dong and the five horses have only met once or twice, and they can't talk about any friendship, but they also feel a little stunned in their hearts.

"What about the fifth princess now?"

"After the five horses were buried, I heard that she has been living in the palace to recuperate."

How old is the fifth princess, and she is widowed. How will she live in the next few decades?

"We've been gone for the past few months, and there's really been a lot of things going on in Beijing."

"yes." Hu Shi said a few more things, but they were all homely and short, and there was nothing particularly surprising. In the end, Hu whispered: "There is one more thing ......"

Looking at Hu's expression, he was mysterious and a little happy.

"I heard that the prince is going to marry the prince."

Xiao Dong stood up with a swish: "Ah, really? ”

Hu Shi hurriedly said: "Oh, I just heard, you can sit down." She helped Xiaodong sit down: "Maybe it's not yet, but they said so, and I don't know where the news came from." There is no need to rush this, the county lord can ask the prince when he goes back to the palace at night. ”

Yes, you can go and greet King An.

Xiao Dong was a little impatient. My brother doesn't seem to be aware of these things, and he hasn't seen him think about them since he was a child. The maids around him are also honest and well-behaved.

Why is it that all of a sudden you are going to get married? Is it true or false? Which girl will it be? Is it Zhao Lu's own favorite? Or was it the arrangement that King An made for him?

Xiao Dong didn't have the heart to do anything else, so he just sat there thinking about this one thing. Hu sorted out the things they brought back, selected some of them, and took them back to King An's mansion in the evening.

"County Lord, look at it, but what else is missing?"

Xiao Dong sighed and looked outside, it was dark early, the sun had set, and the twilight was four.

"Oops, it's so late. Is Qin Lie back? ”

"Not yet, but it's coming soon."

Xiao Dong ordered another gift for King An. Anwang is good tea, and likes Yajing. The gifts included tea, paper, pens, inkstones, as well as some new books and all kinds of exquisite gifts that Xiao Dong bought when he was traveling in Suizhou and Xuanzhou.
