In the grange outside the capital, the second wife looked at the child brought back by Hua Sanniang, and was confused: "Whose child is this?" ”

This is a boy, white and clean, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and when he sees the second wife, he is a little shy, not like he often comes out and walks around.

Hua Sanniang said with a smile: "The child of the old friend's family, his father wants to go out to do some errands and wants to send the child to other places, I saw that he was pitiful, so I brought him over to take care of it for a few days." ”

The second wife did not doubt him, and beckoned to the child: "Come, aunt has some snacks here." ”

As she spoke, she pushed the box containing the snacks forward, and the box opened, and a sweet and glutinous fragrance wafted from it.

The child looked at it, hung his head, and stood still, not moving.

When Hua Sanniang saw it, she stretched out an arm, picked up the child, and put it on the kang, but the child was also well-behaved, took off her shoes, and sat meekly in front of the kang table.

The second wife saw that although the socks on his feet were clean, they were old, and there were traces of mending on them, so she guessed that the child's family background might not be good, and she didn't know how Hua Sanniang knew the child's parents.

She picked up a piece of snack, put it in front of the child, and said softly: "Good, don't be afraid, try this red bean cake, with osmanthus, do you like to eat osmanthus?" ”

......

This child is Fu Qing and Ah Cha's son Fu Zhengtang.

He was just a full moon when his mother died, and Fu Zhengtang lived with his nurse in a house in Tongqian Hutong. Fu Qing was worried that he would be found by the people of the Taiping Society, and he had to move several times a year, and the nurse was told by Fu Qing that he usually didn't dare to take Fu Zhengtang out, for fear of being seen, which would be detrimental to the child. Therefore, although Fu Zhengtang is eight years old, except for the nursing mother, he only sees Fu Qing two or three times a year, and he has never been in contact with strangers.

After the eldest princess of Furun committed suicide, Fu Qing invited the dart bureau to escort the nurse and Fu Zhengtang to Jiangxi.

At that time, Fu Qing panicked and sent one of his cronies to accompany him, thinking that everything was fine. But I never thought that there were two dart masters in the dart bureau that were from the Taiping Society, Fu Qing's cronies and nurses were accidentally heard by them when they spoke, although these two darts did not know who they were, but when they mentioned that they should beware of the Taiping Society, they guessed that the child might have some origins, and the two did not do anything, killed the cronies and the nurse, and ran away with the child.

They originally wanted to hand over the child to the Baoding Mansion Taiping Society, but before they entered Baoding, they were caught up by Hua Sanniang and snatched the child.

At a young age, even ordinary children would be scared half to death, let alone Fu Zhengtang, a child who had never seen anyone alive.

The second wife has no children herself, and she has never taken care of children, but Hua Sanniang has dealt with children, she has taken care of Su Qian, and she has also gotten along with Huo Jiu, but Su Qian and Huo Jiu are both human spirits, and Fu Zhengtang is completely different, Hua Sanniang was upset when she saw Fu Zhengtang's cautious appearance, so she simply went to do her own business, and the errand of taking care of the children fell on the second wife.

The second wife's body has not yet recovered, and Guo Yuling's death has hit her again, and there is an extra child around her, which makes her feel a little more energetic, no longer thinking about what happened all day long, and gradually putting her energy into the child in front of her.

Fu Zhengtang is like a frightened deer, very wary of everything. The grange is full of tenants, and for the sake of safety, Hua Sanniang just found an honest woman who can cook to take care of three meals a day.

The second wife asked the mother-in-law if she could do needlework, and the mother-in-law blushed and said: "I know how to sew and mend things, but the people in the countryside are coarse, and I can't do the work I do." ”

The second wife asked the mother-in-law to sew a new pair of socks for Fu Zhengtang, and after the socks were sewn, she put them on with her own hands, and she heard Fu Zhengtang whisper to her, "Thank you, auntie." ”

The weather is getting warmer and warmer, and Fu Zhengtang is becoming more and more lively. The second wife simply let him go to play with the children in the Zhuangzi. When he came back on the first day, Fu Zhengtang was clean and clean, and when he asked him what he was playing, he said that he watched others climb trees; The second day was still the same, and on the third day, Fu Zhengtang came back dirty, his pants were still half wet, and it turned out that a little friend went to fish in the stream.

From that day on, Hua Sanniang often saw the second wife dressed in half-new clothes, following the mother-in-law, like the mother-in-law in Zhuangzi, going out to call the child back for dinner.

Hua Sanniang wrote all these things into the letter, and soon the letter reached Huo Roufeng's hands.

Huo Roufeng sat in the tent set up temporarily, read Hua Sanniang's letter, smiled, then repacked the letter, covered it with fire paint, and said to Xie Xiaoben, who went out with her: "Send it to Xi'an and hand it over to the second master." ”

Xie Xiaoben said "Order", then took the letter out, walked out of the big tent, pretended to be serious and all gone, ran to find the messenger with a smile, met two familiar female generals on the way, and asked when he saw her: "I have meat to eat today, so happy?" ”

Xie Xiaoben smiled, shook the letter in his hand: "There is no meat to eat, the fifth lady sent me an envoy." ”

Looking at her back, the generals laughed, maybe only Xie Xiaoben, any messenger can be happy.

After delivering the letter, Xie Xiaoben rushed to Huo Roufeng's tent and asked, "Fifth Madam, are there any other messengers?" ”

Huo Roufeng didn't want to take Xie Xiaoben on the expedition, and Xie Honglin also intended to keep her by her side, but Xie Xiaoben took advantage of the fact that everyone was not paying attention to the city tower, ran over to find Lan Ying, and went out with him, until he left Shaanxi, Huo Roufeng didn't know about it, and Lan Ying knew that Xie Xiaoben had run out secretly, punished her for running twenty laps, and starved twice, so she did it.

Huo Roufeng thought about it, the person had already come out, and he couldn't send her back to Xi'an, so he simply let Xie Xiaoben stay, and just transferred her to his side.

Huo Roufeng asked Xie Xiaoben: "Have you finished practicing today's words?" ”

Xie Xiaoben nodded: "I've finished practicing, and I copied Brother Yan's letter twice." ”

A few days ago, Huo Yan sent a letter, one of which was for Xie Xiaoben, Huo Roufeng asked Xie Xiaoben to practice calligraphy, so after this stupid kid finished practicing every day, he would copy Huo Yan's letter twice more, and he also said doggedly: "When we hit Jiangnan, I will hand over all the copied letters to Brother Yan, and he will definitely praise me." ”

Huo Roufeng couldn't bear to look at it directly, and said to Zhan Huai in private: "What would happen if you said that Qiqige was my sister-in-law?" ”

Zhanhuai thought for a while and said, "You have been longing for the war between your sister-in-law and sister-in-law for a long time, and you can't wait for it in this life." ”

Huo Roufeng sighed, the words in the book were really made up, she had listened to so many books, read so many books, and thought that she had learned a full set of house fighting skills, but it was useless.

The ninth master can only go to the battlefield in this life.
