Chapter 229: Bringing You into Life
The past is like a knife, and when it comes to mind, a knife cuts his heart.
A year ago, at Xia Qian's birthday banquet, he cooked too many shou noodles, and seeing that she frowned and looked embarrassed, he proposed to eat half and keep half!
She eats half of it herself, and half of it he eats for her, and on his birthday, he divides half of his birthday noodles with her.
"You have me in your life, I have you in my life, invite the other party into your life."
I thought I could be accompanied, but unfortunately there was only that once!
Last year, his birthday was spent on the battlefield in southern Xinjiang, and the grain and grass were exhausted, not to mention longevity noodles, and he didn't even eat a mouthful of steamed buns.
This year, there were dozens of tables of feasts on her birthday, but unfortunately it was not set up for her, and even a bowl of longevity noodles was forgotten by the next generation.
If everything can be done, at this moment, he actually hopes that he has not been to the battlefield in southern Xinjiang.
But if he didn't go to southern Xinjiang, his little Yue'er would still be starving!
Thinking of this, he moved his gaze to Qin Xinyue, who was frozen to the side, and handed her a hand.
Qin Xinyue was overjoyed and took his hand, ready to sit in front of him in front of a few cases, but just as she sat down, Huo Zun suddenly remembered that thousands of government soldiers were busy until now, and it was time to replace them to rest.
Looking at the back of leaving with him, Qin Xinyue dragged her six-month-old belly, and her cheeks were purple and blue with anger.
Xia Qian was slightly drunk when she left the North Courtyard yesterday, and before she left the General's Mansion, she tore off the ice silk Caixia shawl on her body and threw it away.
There were only two guards left at the west gate because of the emperor's inspection of his own soldiers, and when Xia Qian went out of the city gate, they were busy and didn't notice it, and Radish saw that she was a little drunk, so she couldn't rest assured and hurriedly cleaned up the stall and followed all the way.
Sure enough, Xia Qian hadn't gone far yet, when the wind blew and the wine came up, and one fell into the grass by the roadside and was brought back to the pottery workshop by the radish.
As soon as the two returned to the workshop, lightning and thunder and a violent storm came.
Jingya and the child were busy packing up the clothes and pottery hanging outside, but no one paid attention to the fact that he brought Xia Qian back.
Because Xia Qian had confessed before that she would not let Radish tell Jingya about her return to the General's Mansion, Radish herself did not publicize it, so she slept soundly in the house. 、
Xia Qian woke up at dusk, Radish asked her what she wanted to eat, and she thought for a long time and said that she wanted to eat Shou Noodles.
"Shou noodles?" Radish looked at her in surprise, "You...... Birthday today? Okay, you wait, I'll do it for you!"
When the radish came back, he brought a large bowl of shou mein, in addition to two poached eggs, there were also a few slices of beef, and the tofu was specially fried in oil, a bit of home-style tofu style.
At the banquet during the day, she only drank two cups of tea, and she was hungry for almost a day, and she had already been close to her back.
This full bowl of longevity noodles was swallowed by her in the wind, touched her mouth and smiled at the radish: "Brother radish, this is the most fragrant longevity noodles I have ever eaten!" A big bowl full of food! ”
"Hehe, it's good to feel the fragrance! I'm worried that I'm not doing well! ”
"Although my sense of smell and taste are out of order, it is naturally not bad to be able to eat such a large bowl. Thank you, Brother Radish, for taking me in again! ”
Radish handed an apple to Xia Qian's hand, and said with a cheerful smile: "Look at what you said, if you hadn't given me the 30,000 taels of silver to teach me to make the pottery more exquisite, I and this group of children would still be hungry now." How can you eat these eggs, beef, apples, etc.? ”
The two chatted late into the night, and Radish told her that she planned to leave Qinglong City with Jingya and her children to live on a small island in the east wing, which was a good place to live in peace due to its humid climate and rich clay.
"Girl, Qinglong City is a place where the weak eat people without blinking, if you want, you can wait until Bai Bing comes back and follow us to leave, we can wait for you!" Radish said with a serious face.
Xia Qian thought for a long time, and said frankly: "I want to leave here more than anyone else, but Bai Bing is seriously injured and her life and death are unknown, and without the power of the Huo family, it is impossible for me to find her." Besides, I must live in seclusion when I leave Qinglong City, and I can't affect you and the children. But when you're settled down there, I'll go and see you! ”
The last sentence, Radish naturally knew that it was Xia Qian's comforting words.
Back in his bedroom, he took out a mahogany short sword from an old poplar box, sharpened it into a hairpin overnight, carved and polished it, and placed it on the table along with a new cotton garment.
Xia Qian woke up the next day at noon, Jingya took the child to read and write in another house, and Radish brought in the meal that had been prepared.
During the meal, Xia Qian said goodbye to him and asked him how he thought of Jingya?
Radish said that Jingya was a good girl, and Xia Qian smiled and said that she was the master, making decisions for Jingya, and entrusting Jingya to him for the rest of her life. The other party smiled without saying a word, and handed the clothes and hairpins that had been prepared overnight to Xia Qian.
Xia Qian stared at the blanket wrapped around her and took the clothes awkwardly.
After thanking him repeatedly, Xia Qian offered to have a few glasses of wine with him, because Radish was a friend she had met in the most difficult times, and she had no chance to see them off when they left.
Xia Qian drank very lightly, and after a few glasses of wine, her face turned slightly red.
Radish frowned and persuaded: "This wine has a lot of stamina, you better stay one more day and leave tomorrow!"
"It's only been a few drinks, I'm very clear-headed, and I'm walking steadily." Xia Qian deliberately stood up and walked a few steps to show the radish.
The clothes that Radish gave her were bought for Shi Rong's coming-of-age gift, and they should have been used for more than half a year.
After changing her clothes, she simply combed up, and she found that the peach hairpin and this set of men's clothes still have some matches, if it weren't for the miserable scratch of this face, this dress is quite like a happy pastoral village woman.
On the way back, the southeast wind blew, and the wine soon came up, although the brain was still quite clear, but the feet were already fluttering and did not obey the call.
Radish wanted to persuade her to go back to the pottery workshop first, but as soon as she looked up, she saw the soldiers of the General's Mansion.
The soldiers were surprised when they saw Xia Qian, and hurriedly followed her back into Qinglong City.
With a light sigh, Radish set up his own pottery stall at the west gate.
Huo Zun was in a daze in the courtyard facing the sky, and when he heard the soldiers say that Xia Qian was back, he couldn't help but look towards the door with joy in his heart, and happened to see Xia Qian walking into the gate flutteringly.
There was no trace of worry on her peachy face, and her plain cotton clothes were incompatible with the luxury of the General's Mansion.
When the adult man's clothes and her stumbling steps looked at Huo Zun's eyes, the already imperceptible joy on his face disappeared in an instant.
"Less...... The young lady is drunk! A soldier who followed her cautiously reminded.
Xia Qian was light-headed, and her mind was a little dizzy at the moment, she just wanted to sleep beautifully after going back, and although she saw the tall figure not far away, she was completely shielded from her brain.
Entering the General's Mansion, she walked into the West Courtyard dignifiedly.
"Stop!" Huo Zun stared at her angrily and ordered loudly.
