Chapter 13: Alingxue (13)
Jia Yang didn't want to talk too much about this child, who had been waiting for a long time to give birth, so he hurriedly ended the topic.
Miss Xu didn't mind and continued to eat the potatoes handed to her.
Qi Bei squatted beside Miss Xu, thinking of the posture of seeing Mrs. Bailing dining in the Drunken Immortal Mansion and in the Taishi Mansion, she was so measured, meticulously abiding by the rules, and very cultivated, for example, she only followed the imperial official after moving the chopsticks, and never started directly, the hand that pinched the chopsticks slightly cocked the orchid fingers, and chewed slowly with each small bite.
At this time, Miss Xu, who has not been exposed to the etiquette education of aristocratic women, eats like a bird pecking or a foal gnawing grass, a little wolf-gobbling, not at all a lady should be, look at the scum on the corner of her mouth, see her directly break the soft glutinous potatoes with her hands, when she is scalded, she doesn't want to throw the potatoes directly, so she pounds back and forth with both hands, according to the standard of Jun'an City etiquette, it is not elegant at all. But Qi Bei just liked it when she saw it, this was her original appearance, free and unrestrained.
"Are you done eating?"
Jiayang actually urged her? What a broom star, what to urge? Don't you think the way she eats is super cute?
Miss Xu laughed, didn't listen, and didn't speed up.
"Hurry up and eat. After you finished baking, the patriarch told me to go and have something. ”
Qi Bei resented in his heart: You really can't speak, and your stupidity is about to catch up with me, why are you impatient with Miss Xu at all, can't you see that she likes you very much?
Sometimes, this anger buried in his heart has nowhere to vent, and Qi Bei will follow behind Jiayang and throw a fist. Anyway, Qi Bei is a shadow, no one can see it, no one can feel it, and it is impossible for the fist to really hit Jiayang.
The unborn Qin Zhi was a strange fetus, and his wife was unable to give birth for a long time, and his mobility was inconvenient, which delayed the flamingo clan's plan to move his family. As a result, Miss Xu's family could not wait for the evacuation before the first goose feather snow closed the mountain, which meant that, as in any previous year, they were trapped in Aling, the mountain road was rugged and the snow was thick, and it was not easy for people outside to get in, so everyone had to wait for the snow to melt next year.
Soon, Qi Bei heard all kinds of rumors about Miss Xu, the younger brother who could never be born smoothly, that is, the future Qin Zhi's little son.
Listening to the gossip of the flamingo people, the last one who was pregnant for eighteen months and had not yet given birth was a prodigy from heaven in the distant city of Jun'an. Rumors of freaks were even rampant for a time, and the last born white and chubby man was not only gratifying, but also had an amazing talent for governing the world. Some say that he can read and read at the age of three, some say that he can go to the court at the age of two, and then some say that he can write poems and songs at the age of one, and so on.
Naturally, the child in the womb of the Lady of the Flamingo Clan made people connect with the prodigy of Jun'an City.
Hearing everyone chatting about Jun'an prodigy after tea and dinner, carrying water and chopping firewood, Qi Bei silently observed everything, and his mood became more and more heavy.
Because he knows very well that this "unrelated" prodigy is destined to grow up to be called the Imperial Official, and he will have a constant husband and wife relationship with Miss Xu.
It turned out that as early as on Ah Ling, the Imperial Official had been implicated in the Flamingo Clan in a very obscure and tortuous way.
But how many years later did that happen, and how did the people in the flamingo village know?
Mrs. Bailing, Jiayang, Zhi'er, Ye Shiyu, the pony that was picked up, and Qibei who broke into Aling. Real or imaginary, all people exist in illusions. It's a wonderful and complicated providence.
Qi Bei sometimes thinks: "I thought I could find my own place in her past, but counting the time, I couldn't meet her before Jiayang and the imperial officials." ”
The well-fed, energetic foal had already recovered from his injuries, and when he heard Qi Bei's complaints, he opened a pair of big eyes and looked at him gently.
Qi Bei continued to hear people talk about the freak in the womb of the patriarch's wife. Before this Qin Xiaogongzi was born, he had already become a harbinger of the flamingo's extinction.
"Madame's health is not as good as day by day, and she is still struggling. Children can't be born either. You see it's still freezing, but I really hope that Madame will get rid of the sea of suffering quickly. Someone said so.
"But the lady never gave birth, and she was bedridden, so the whole family of flamingos could not move. Don't you know that someone will take advantage of this siege? This time, we were hunted down and killed, for the sake of my wife's child. ”
Qi Bei pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
"What do you mean? Someone wants to kill Madame's unborn child? But what can a baby do? ”
"Hey, I don't hear about it. The patriarch gathered all the men of the clan and discussed it all day. Mrs. has been pregnant for a long time and has not given birth for eighteen months, it is said that she is pregnant with an earth-shattering person, just like the prodigy of Jun'an, after the birth of our unborn little village master, maybe, it will take less than a month after birth to Wen Taowu strategy, and compare the prodigy of Jun'an City. You say, can the city lord of Jun'an be afraid? ”
"Really? Where in this world is there a child who can recite poetry and paint in less than a month. That's an exaggeration. ”
"Hey, so it's a prodigy from heaven, it is said that this one in our village is also a king who can dominate the world." The woman said mysteriously, and she was very proud of the young son of the flamingo clan who was about to be born, "Think about it, the most powerful king in the whole world comes from our Ah Ling, and we have a lot of scenery on our faces." That's what the patriarch talks about every day. No matter what, we have to think of ways to avoid the catastrophe of Jun'an City, and ask Mrs. to give birth to a child and raise it quickly. In fact, long before winter comes, it's time for us to move our family. ”
"That's right, the patriarch has long wanted to relocate the whole village, if it weren't for the fact that Mrs. can't walk with a big belly and can't stand the bumps, she would have left before the first snow. Now that the snow is in Aling, we can't get out, and the outside can't come in, but we can calm down for a winter. Waiting for the snow to melt in the spring of the next year will be dangerous. Jun'an has a lot of people and horses, and the army is strong, what can we do if we really fight? ”
"yes, what are we going to do when the snow melts?" Someone worriedly asked the same question, "At that time, Ah Ling will be able to enter and exit." ”
"When the snow melts, we will wait for the people from Jun'an City." The old woman was banging on the washed clothes, and the atmosphere was very dreary.
"When Miss Asahi was born, we thought the flamingo clan would thrive." The women fell into the memory, "A hundred birds and a phoenix on Aling, auspicious rain from the sky." Who would have thought that just a few years later, Mrs. 's second child would be called us
Hunted down by Jun'an City. ”
