At night, hearing that the mother-in-law next door and Zhao Yuxin were asleep, Zhao Qicai slowly got up and put on a long robe and came to the courtyard, this is a habit he has developed over the years, in the years of marching and fighting, whenever he needs to make a major decision, he always has to walk around in the big tent, and the old man will consciously let him think alone, and he will go to drink and fight with the soldiers.

As a person who has died once, Zhao Qi was a little hesitant in his heart, disheartened, hesitant, confused, and hesitant...... These weak emotions should not have appeared in the ambitious Shaoshang Emperor.

But that was all in the past, falling from the clouds into the abyss, understanding the true face of the world, and feeling the irresistible strength of the enemy, Zhao Qi had already begun to doubt whether his efforts back then were worth it......

Can I be a little more selfish in this life....I can be... Just as this life is to live for the old man who is imprisoned, anyway, after he tried his best at the beginning, he also collapsed day and night like a chicken and a dog.

Except for the imprisoned old man, except for the civil and military officials above the Longtang Fengying and the court, who else knows what I did back then? It's just that they all died, and even the soldiers above the commander of the Black Tiger Army and other border guards were all intercepted and killed by the masters sent by the three sects.

But it seems that now I want to make a comeback, and I don't have the capital! This kind of chess game without even a spark is really desperate!

But I am not reconciled! Those soldiers who died fighting for their dreams, the old men who bear the fruits of their karma, and the people of the whole city seem to be watching me from heaven! The nobles of the four countries still have millions of my people waiting for me to rescue them!

If you think about it carefully, it seems that the four countries and the three sects are all their enemies!

Zhao Qi, who was born in the royal family, couldn't convince himself to live his life like an ordinary person, but he felt desperate and had no heart to fight for another life, so entangled that his head was about to explode.

Zhao Qi shook his head helplessly, trying to suppress his chaotic thoughts. It's useless to think so much? Now let's think about how to solve tomorrow's troubles! If someone finds a flaw, I won't have a chance to think so much......

In the middle of the month, Zhao Qicai shivered and hid back under the covers to sleep, he hadn't felt the cold for a long time!

"Uh, what are you doing?"

As soon as Zhao Qi opened his eyes, he saw Granny Lan and Zhao Yuxin sitting neatly on the edge of his bed, looking at himself quietly, and when he woke up, he saw someone staring at him, Zhao Qi was suddenly startled, and couldn't help but say something.

Hearing Zhao Qi speak, Granny Lan immediately showed joy and asked softly, "Qi'er, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly open up?"

"Little beggar, have you been ghosted?" Zhao Yuxin timidly showed a small head from behind Granny Lan, but was knocked back by Granny Lan's fried chestnuts.

Zhao Qi rolled his eyes, said the abdominal draft that he had typed last night, and in Zhao Yuxin's questioning eyes, he said a few things that happened when he was a child, and he also basked in the sun and made a few proofs, and the mother-in-law and grandson were relieved.

"Oh, it turns out that you went to the palace yesterday, do you still have that kind of red fruit? You are so stupid that you can talk after eating, this girl must have become a super genius after eating it." ”

"I ate it all yesterday. Zhao Qi suddenly remembered something, stared at Zhao Yuxin with bad intentions, and said: "Mother-in-law, the shortbread you hid at the beginning was not eaten by me, it was Zhao Yuxin who was afraid of being caught by you, and finally stuffed it into my hand, and she ate all the other shortbreads." ”

"Hey, mother-in-law, he's talking nonsense! I gave you half of it, don't play tricks!" Zhao Yuxin saw that Granny Lan had already walked to the courtyard to find a wooden stick, and hurriedly escaped from the courtyard, and did not forget to threaten Zhao Qi when she left,

"Little beggar, you wait for me!"

When it was time to eat, there was no need for Granny Lan to shout outside the courtyard gate, Zhao Yuxin smelled the aroma of rice and happily went into the kitchen to hold half a bowl of rice, and sat next to Zhao Qi in a regular manner. Granny Lan won't let Zhao Yuxin go so easily,

"You kid, you dare to bully your brother, and you dare to lie to me! Today, you will be punished for sewing clothes, and your brother's little jacket that was damaged in a fight the day before yesterday will be handed over to you to sew and repair. ”

"Mother-in-law, Zhao Yuxin, she ......"

Zhao Yuxin hurriedly retracted her hand under the table and stared at Zhao Qi with a slight warning. Seeing that Zhao Yuxin was no longer pinching herself, Zhao Qi didn't bother to bother with her, rolled his eyes, and said directly, "Zhao Yuxin, she just said that she would take the initiative to brush the dishes and sweep the yard." ”

"Then you can hurry up and clean up after you finish eating......"

Granny Lan had a bright smile on her face, for the first time in so many years, there was life in the family, and she saw the small movements of the two children, but she was happy to see it, she smiled and said nothing on the side, and only responded to it when she was needed.

How could the smart and clever Zhao Yuxin not see that Granny Lan was talking to Zhao Qi, so she had to reluctantly accept her fate and find an opportunity to clean up the little beggar.

Ignoring Zhao Yuxin's muttering while washing the dishes, Granny Lan pulled Zhao Qi to her side and said kindly:

"Qi'er, you're now... It's not like it used to be. ”

Granny Lan thought about it again and again, but her cultural level was not enough, and she couldn't find a tactful way to communicate with Qi'er, so Zhao Qi would speak, and Granny Lan was afraid that she would be careless and hurt the child's self-esteem.

"You have to learn a lot of things in the future, other people's children have been in school for a year or two, do you want to read and write too?"

"Forget it, I'm a year or two late, and I won't be able to go there. ”

said this, but in fact, what Zhao Qi thought in his heart was: I was rich and rich in five cars, and most of the books in the palace library were studied, and now I have to accompany the doll egg to read and break words!

"You have to read anyway, if you are shy, then let your sister Yuxin teach you for a while!"

"Don't, I don't want her to teach me ......"

Zhao Qi had a bitter face, and looked at Granny Lan pitifully, if he learned to write with Zhao Yuxin, it would be better to let him pretend to be stupid for another seven years, but now it is not good for him to show his talents, otherwise Granny Lan will begin to suspect Zhao Qi's upper body.

"Okay, don't lose your temper, Yuxin usually takes care of you, don't count it in your heart, she teaches you, and I'm quite relieved." ”

"Mother-in-law, I will definitely make the little beggar a great talent. ”

Granny Lan raised her head at Zhao Yuxin, who showed half of her head, and said helplessly:

"Go and brush the pot, wait until you finish reading the books at home, and then talk big. ”

"Oh. Thinking that her younger brother's learning fell into her own hands, Zhao Yuxin had already thought of three or four crazy tricks, and she cleaned the kitchen obediently at this time, just to reassure her mother-in-law.

"Mother-in-law, isn't it, can't I teach myself?"

"What are you teaching yourself, you don't know a single big word! That's it, let your sister Yuxin teach you from tomorrow, and it just so happens that the two of you won't go out to make trouble." ”

Granny Lan no longer allowed Zhao Qi to argue, so she made a decision, turned around and walked to the east wing to start embroidering. Granny Lan learned an embroidery craft in the Splendid Palace that year, and has been embroidering some small objects in exchange for food over the years, and the embroidery craft in the western half of the city belongs to Granny Lan's top, and Granny Lan's work has been scheduled for a few months.

Most of the orders are some items needed for weddings and funerals, because they are the only one, so they have a lot of income, and it is not a problem to support two children.

When the coalition army ransacked Yong'an City, I don't know if it is not worth it, there are too many treasures that need to be taken away, Yong'an City left a lot of books, Granny Lan collected a lot of books, when taking over the work, if anyone is poor and can't afford to pay the money, they will take some books as a mortgage, and they will come and go, and the books at home have been placed on two walls.

Many people are puzzled by Granny Lan's behavior. "You said that this Granny Lan doesn't know a single big word, why do you buy so many books?"

"You ask me, how do I know. Maybe it's used to make a fire......"

Granny Lan went to do things, and Zhao Qi found that he had nothing to do at home, so he thought about whether to go out for a stroll again, or go back to sleep and go back to sleep?

Cultivation, what are you kidding, this kind of thing that has no prospects, only a fool will do it. I am now living a hundred years of life in peace and quiet. Although I don't know why I didn't consciously do it, with my palms facing the sky. Forget it, let's go to sleep! Granny Lan loves me so much, she will definitely allow me to slack off for a few days.

In fact, Zhao Qi was lying on the bed and tossing and turning, seeing the dazzling sunlight on the window, he was upset and couldn't sleep, when was it so difficult for him to make up for sleep?......
