If it were someone else, he would have reprimanded him for not being rude. But now the strong man of the Qin people behind him is still singing love songs, and he can't lose Zhu Xiang's face in front of everyone.

Old King Qin thought for a while, put on a kind smile that Zhu Xiang often saw in Changping, took the initiative to help Ying Xiaozheng up, and said, "The widow is indeed praising you for being strong. ”

Ying Xiaozheng, who stood up, pretended to be the most well-behaved and joyful smile. While giving a gesture to the old King Qin, he said in an energetic voice: "Thank you great-grandfather for compliment!" Zheng'er also feels that she is strong! Zheng'er already knows how to dance the sword, if his great-grandfather is free, Zheng'er will dance the sword to show his great-grandfather! ”

The contents of Zhu Xiang's diary sounded in the mind of the old King Qin: "Dancing sword? Won't you swing your sword now and be taken by the sword and fall to the ground crying? ”

Ying Xiaozheng's smile froze.

He tilted his head to look at his uncle: "Uncle, you say bad things about Zheng'er." ”

Zhu Xiang explained seriously: "Zheng'er, I'm complimenting you for your hard work in sword practice, how can you say bad things?" ”

Ying Xiaozheng's mouth was dumbfounded: "Uncle, do you think I will believe it?" ”

Zhu Xiang patted Ying Xiaozheng's head wearing a plush tiger hat: "Believe me!" ”

Zhu Xiang looked at the old King Qin: "Your Majesty, you know my character best, what I said is true!" ”

The old King of Qin was so annoyed by the two uncles and nephews that he thought that he was a kind great-grandfather who had come to pick up the great-grandson he hadn't seen for a long time.

Are you two having a family affair with me, the King of Qin?

The old King of Qin, who had never had such a novel experience, pondered for a while, and followed Zhu Xiang's words: "He is praising you for your efforts. He also said that you painted a villain on the face of Lian Po who was asleep, and you were also complimenting you for respecting your elders. ”

Zhu Xiang: "Yes, that's right! Look, Zheng'er, the king said that his uncle didn't lie! ”

Ying Xiaozheng's heart was a little broken.

In the "memory", he had not seen this legendary great-grandfather, who was very powerful, but when the people around him mentioned this deceased great-grandfather, the awe still lingered, and he was very wary of his great-grandfather.

When he was in the carriage, Zhu Xiang specially told Ying Xiaozheng to treat King Qin with the attitude of a lively child to his elders. The more scheming and feared people are, the more they love the younger generations who "have no scheming" and dare to mess around in front of him.

When he just got out of the car, his uncle also specially reminded himself that he would be coquettish when he seized the opportunity.

But he never expected that this opportunity was for his uncle to say a lot of bad things about himself in front of his great-grandfather!

Zhu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the old King Qin cooperated with him so much.

Zheng'er is the great-grandson of the old King of Qin, and he is very far from the throne. He was young, and he was brought up by an uncle who was born a commoner and was famous all over the world for his benevolence and righteousness, and he was coquettish and foolish in front of the old Qin King, who would not doubt the "intentions" of Zheng'er and the people behind him.

Now that he has decided to enter Qin, no matter how many things he still has hidden in his heart, Zhu Xiang has also begun to think about the future of himself and his family.

Zheng'er's father doesn't love his mother or mother, even if he has himself, a great uncle who was personally invited back to Qin by King Qin, I am afraid that he will encounter many grievances when he returns to the Qin court.

This time, the old Qin king greeted him in a high-profile manner, and I am afraid that it was the only time that the old Qin king would be coquettish and foolish for his unfamiliar great-grandson. As long as everyone saw that the old King Qin was very kind to Zheng'er, no one dared to touch him after Zheng'er returned to Qin.

"Great-grandfather, Zheng'er is very filial...... Lian Weng said bad things about Lin Weng, so I secretly drew circles on his face to vent Lin Weng's anger. Ying Xiaozheng pouted and explained, "Lin Weng often said that Zheng'er was the most filial child he had ever met. ”

"Lin Weng...... Lin Xiangyi? As soon as the old Qin King heard this, his eyes lit up, "Lin is like him...... By the way, I heard that Lin Xiangru is like a parent and son to Zhu Xiangru, so he will definitely teach you with his own hands. ”

With a wave of Lao Qin's hand, the love song that embarrassed Zhu Xiang and moved and envied others came to an abrupt end.

"Come to my great-grandfather's car and talk to my great-grandfather slowly. You come too. The old King Qin pulled Ying Xiaozheng with one hand and Zhu Xiang's sleeve with the other, and walked to his carriage.

Ying Xiaozheng's legs are short, and the speed at which the old King Qin walks like this, if an ordinary child has been dragged to the ground by him.

Ying Xiaozheng is not an ordinary child, he tried his best to run on his short legs when the old Qin King turned around, trying his best to keep up with the speed of the old Qin King.

Zhu Xiang glanced at Ying Xiaozheng, who had adjusted his movements in an instant, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

is worthy of being the cub of the First Emperor, he is not afraid of the bloody situation in prison, and he is not afraid when facing the old King Qin.

He used his eyes again to signal Xue Hui, who had been snubbed by King Qin, to return to the carriage.

When Ying Xiaozheng was dragged away by the old King Qin, Xue reflexively grabbed Ying Xiaozheng's other hand.

Ying Xiaozheng hurriedly withdrew his hand and gave his aunt a "I'm fine" look.

Now Zhu Xiang gestured with his eyes, Xue rubbed his frozen hands, and turned back to the carriage.

Cai Ze's brows furrowed. King Qin deliberately snubbed Xue Ji, which was not a good sign.

The old King of Qin pulled Zhu Xiang and Ying Xiaozheng into his carriage, and the team began to move forward again.

There was no need to drive in person, Bai Qi also returned to the carriage and rode with Cai Ze. Sima Jin and Wang Yi also squeezed in.

Sima Jin stroked his chest exaggeratedly: "Zhu Xianggong is also too powerful, how dare he speak to the king in such an irreverent tone!" ”

Wang Yi said: "Actually, it's not disrespectful, it's too ...... It's ......"

Cai Ze put down the book in his hand and said, "It's too much like facing ordinary elders? ”

Sima Jin nodded vigorously: "Yes!" Gongzi Zheng is also worthy of being a child brought up by Zhu Xianggong. ”

Cai Zedao: "Although children who have grown up with pampering are bold in front of their elders, they are not political...... Zheng Gongzi is indeed much bolder and smarter than ordinary children. ”

Sima Jin was very curious: "Really? How bold is he? ”

Cai Zedao: "On that day, Zhu Xiang was assassinated by the secret guards sent by King Zhao, and the jailer and jailer died heroically to save Zhu Xiang. Zhu Xiang and Xue Ji stitched up the wounds and stumps for the righteous soldiers, and Zhenggongzi scrubbed the blood stains on the faces of the righteous soldiers, so that the righteous soldiers could be buried with dignity. ”

Bai Qi, who had been looking out the window and pretending that he didn't want to listen to Zhu Xiang and Gongzi's private affairs, turned his head to look at Cai Ze suddenly.

Sima Jin and Wang Yi were stunned.

Bai Qi said: "What happened in the city?" ”

He was stationed outside the city, and only knew that King Zhao had sent someone to assassinate Zhu Xiang, but did not inquire about the details.

As long as Zhu Xiang can enter Qin, King Zhao's prestige will be reduced, his goal has been achieved, and there is no need to know the details.

But Bai Qi, who was rarely curious, couldn't help but be curious when he heard Cai Ze's words.

Zhu Xiang's gray hair gradually grew along the way, perhaps not only because he was far away from his homeland, but even because he was an enemy of his former elders' best friends?

The old King of Qin pulled Zhu Xiang and Ying Xiaozheng into the car and asked Lin Xiangru about the details of his life.

He wanted to ask when he was in Changping before, but Zhu Xiang didn't mention it himself, and he couldn't ask, so as not to be misunderstood, as if he valued Lin Xiangru too much.

Now that Ying Xiaozheng mentioned Lin Xiangru, he can satisfy his curiosity under the pretext of caring about his great-grandchildren's lives.

Although Ying Xiaozheng has just spent his fourth birthday in the carriage, his conversation is very clear and organized, comparable to a young man in the general horn, and he can answer whatever the old King Qin asks.

He also took out a sugar bag from his arms, poured out colorful sugar balls and handed them to the old Qin King, and obediently invited his great-grandfather to eat candy.

After Zhu Xiang boiled sugarcane juice into sugar cubes, dyed them with flowers, fruits, and vegetables, and put them in a spherical mold, he made many beautiful small sugar balls for Ying Xiaozheng, which was Ying Xiaozheng's most precious snack.

has been with Zhu Xiang for a long time, and Ying Xiaozheng also spoke with a bit of his uncle's witty tone that was beyond this era. Coupled with his childlike appearance and voice, King Qin, who tasted a candy ball, stuffed Ying Xiaozheng's sugar bag into his arms, and left none for his great-grandson.

The old King of Qin laughed: "Lin Xiangru that old horseman actually often competes with Lian Po for swords? He is not afraid to flash his old waist. ”

Ying Xiaozheng replied: "Lin Weng's sword is powerful, and Lian Weng is often chased by Lin Weng. Although Lian Weng always said that he let Lin Weng, Zheng'er still thought that Lin Weng was more powerful. ”

The old Qin King laughed: "Hahahaha, Lin Xiangru is actually afraid of drinking bitter medicine?" ”

Ying Xiaozheng shook his head: "Lin Weng is not afraid of bitter medicine, but he hates bitterness." Lin Weng is not like his uncle, who will secretly pour out the bitter medicine. ”

Old King Qin laughed: "Lin Xiangru was born poor, and he is still picky about food. ”

Ying Xiaozheng explained: "It's not that Lin Weng is a picky eater, Lin Weng eats everything." It's just that whoever is used to my uncle's craft will find fault with other people's crafts. ”

Be proud, hold your chest high!

"Really?" Old King Qin looked at Zhu Xiang, "Why didn't you show much cooking skills in Changping?" It's just that the jar of pork doesn't count. ”

Zhu Xiang explained with a smile: "It is difficult for a good woman to cook without a millet meal. Changping is hard and lacks seasoning. When I arrived in Xianyang, I cooked a table of sumptuous dishes for the gentleman to prove that what Zheng'er said was true. ”

Old King Qin nodded: "That's it." Then I will bring my husband with me, and you will prepare some soft and rotten food for him. The title is my promise, not your request. You may ask the widow some more. ”

Zhu Xiang arched his hand: "Your Majesty is Shengming!" I do have two requests that I hope will be fulfilled. ”

"First, I would like to ask to visit Zheng'er often. Second, I ask you to crown my wife, Xue Ji, as Mrs. Changpingjun. Xue Ji and I depend on each other for our lives, and promise to have a couple for the rest of our lives, never marry another, and never take a concubine. ”

Old King Qin's face sank.

Chapter 40 Dogwood Potato Flour

Old King Qin's face changed quickly, if it weren't for Zhu Xiang, who had been a Warring States civilian for so many years, and was very good at observing words and feelings, otherwise it would be difficult to capture a touch of gloom in his kind smile.

The old King Qin smiled: "The widow didn't expect you to be so affectionate, and the daughters of the world envy your wife." ”

Zhu Xiang shook his head and said, "The importance that Xue and I attach to each other is not something that can be simply explained by the word 'affectionate'. The daughters of the world may envy the snow now, but if they ...... before today"

Zhu Xiang's words paused slightly, and after organizing the language, he continued: "I have behaved strangely since I was a child, except for snow, no one will believe my nonsense. ”

"When my parents both died and I was seriously ill and bedridden, my eldest sister took away the family's belongings and abandoned me.

"After I joined Lin Gongmen, I prevented the nobles from buying land at a low price, went to Changping to lobby Zhao Jun, and was imprisoned after returning to Handan...... She has been living in anxiety, but she has hardly complained, occasionally complaining and adding 'it's okay', worried that I have a burden in my heart. ”

Zhu Xiang's words had a pleading tone: "I couldn't have children after I was seriously ill, and she married me without regrets, what woman would envy her at that time?" If I don't treat her well, I'm not as good as a beast. ”

"After my mother abandoned me, my aunt hated my mother for being ruthless and unrighteous, but she still regarded me as a parent." Ying Xiaozheng got up and knelt on the carriage, "After my uncle left home, my aunt was not in good health and couldn't hold heavy objects, but she still hugged me every day. My aunt took me to escape to Lian Weng's fiefdom, and then took me back to Handan, and took me to prison to save my uncle......"

He raised his head: "The prince of Qin is deeply influenced by his relatives. Uncles and aunts are not nobles, and their family backgrounds are simple; My uncle and aunt have no children, and I am the only blood of my uncle and aunt; Uncles and aunts are virtuous and will not provoke right and wrong. I don't have any worries. ”

Ying Xiaozheng suddenly interjected, Zhu Xiang was almost so frightened that he hugged Ying Xiaozheng up and blocked him, begging the old King Qin not to be angry.

But looking at the corners of the old Qin King's mouth, Zhu Xiang couldn't help it.

Old King Qin did not continue to wear that mask-like smile when he was disobeyed by Zheng'er, which showed that he was not angry.

Although what Zheng'er is doing now is dangerous, it may also be an opportunity for him to win the true favor of the old King Qin. Since Zheng'er has made up her mind, she can't hold back.

"I'm not in good health, and I'm not close to women. If the king fills my backyard with beautiful women, I can only set up an embroidery and weaving workshop for them, and teach them to be self-sufficient and self-reliant. Zhu Xiang sighed and said, "It seems good to think like this?" ”

Ying Xiaozheng glanced at his uncle who suddenly opened his mouth. Uncle seems to have a talent for being able to joke no matter what kind of atmosphere he encounters.

"The widow thought you were going to sell them." The old Qin King's expression was also very strange. Zhu Xiang made such a joke, and the old King Qin, who was trying to scare Ying Xiaozheng, almost forgot the words.

Zhu Xiang said: "Wouldn't that blow the king's face?" ”

Old King Qin: "......" If you let them be embroiderers and weavers, didn't you brush my face?

He ignored Zhu Xiang, who was messing around, and said to Ying Xiaozheng with a straight face: "What kind of relatives do you say at a young age, don't you already think that you are the king of Qin?" ”

Lao Qin's words are very punishing, but Ying Xiaozheng is not afraid.

Ying Xiaozheng regarded the old Qin King as his future self, and with his own mentality at that time, what kind of words and deeds would satisfy the old Qin King.

"My eldest father is the crown prince of Qin. My father is recognized by my eldest father as his son-in-law, and he will also be the prince of Qin in the future. Ying Xiaozheng tried hard to say with a straight face, "Father relied on Lü Buwei to enter Qin, and Mother was a gift from Lü Buwei, which is the link of interests between Father and Lü Buwei." My uncle is a rare sage in the world, and my father will definitely win over my uncle. And the eldest father and the eldest father want to continue the feat of the great father to destroy the six countries, and will definitely try their best to prevent the noble women of the six countries from interfering in politics. Therefore my father will also make me the crown prince. ”

Ying Xiaozheng said confidently: "I am not the king of Qin, but I must be the king of Qin in the future, and I will also be the king of everyone in this world!" ”
