Danyang County, the smallest of the six counties of Ye State, is located at the junction of the southeast of the country and the state of Qi.

In the fields on both sides of the official road leading to the county seat of Yasuhara, you can see people busy reaping the fruits of a year's hard work.

This year is also a bumper harvest year, there are no disasters and many rains, and the people can at least have surplus food at home for the winter.

If it weren't for the Qi State's large-scale pressure on the border, the common people would definitely be so happy that they couldn't sleep at night.

There was a very strange group of people walking on the official road, and at the front was a man in rags, and on his neck sat a little girl who looked to be six or seven years old.

The little girl jumped and opened her hand to catch the dragonflies that flew over her head.

The reason for the attraction is of course not the father and daughter, but the two hundred cavalry that accompanied the father and daughter.

The momentum of the two hundred cavalry was amazing, and at a glance they knew that they were the army of a hundred battles that had crawled out of the pile of dead men on the battlefield, but now they all dismounted one by one, leading the horses and slowly following behind the father and daughter.

These ordinary people saw this scene for the first time, and they couldn't help but put down their work and stop to watch this strange scene.

"Who is this in front, could it be that the seed brother is out to play?"

"Don't talk nonsense, which general brother do you see like this, and which one is not well-dressed?"

"What nonsense am I talking about, don't you see the wolf-like cavalry, not the general's seed brother, how can there be these cavalry with you?"

This father and daughter are not outsiders, they are Chu Yujia and Xiao Yao'er who are going to Anyuan Mansion.

Maybe it's because she is about to see her mother, Xiao Yao'er is very happy.

Anyuan Mansion, a few years ago, when the Ye State had not yet made enemies with the Qi State, it was also prosperous because of the frequent exchanges of caravans between the two countries.

Now that the army of Qi is pressing, Anyuan Mansion is much more deserted, the rich families have already secretly moved away, and only some Li people who are unwilling to leave their hometowns are left to live in fear, and they don't know when a catastrophe will come.

But after all, Anyuan Province is not the first battle between the two countries, and there are still many vendors who remain in the city, selling their goods on both sides of the streets.

When passing by a food stall, Xiao Yao'er's eyes couldn't be taken off, and the dazzling array of food made the little girl drool greedily.

The few people around him who had entered the city to rest on the side disliked the shabbyly dressed father and daughter, and deliberately walked away.

When the busy vendor saw the customer coming, he wanted to come up and introduce a few words, but when he saw the dress of the father and daughter, he immediately lowered his face.

If you come out to do business, you don't have the eyesight to see it?

This father and daughter are not like people who can pay for things, and they can't afford to talk in vain.

But this peddler is also kind, and he didn't directly ridicule or drive people away, and said: "Two, my cheapest mung bean cake costs ten yuan a pack, although it is not very expensive, but it is not cheap, the price of five meat buns." ”

"Want to eat?"

Chu Yujia ignored the peddler and said to Xiao Yao'er with a smile.

Xiao Yao'er pursed her lips and didn't speak.

But as a father, how can he not understand his daughter's temper.

Chu Yujia opened his mouth and said to the vendor: "Pack a pack of everything, and someone will naturally come to settle the bill later." ”

"Can someone settle the bill for you?"

The peddler opened his voice, and a look of disdain inevitably appeared on his face.

I have nearly forty snacks here, each of which is packed in a pack, which costs at least eight dollars of silver.

If you don't look at anything else, just look at the down-and-out appearance of this father and daughter, can someone settle the bill for them?

"Daddy, let's go......"

The little girl has been wandering with her father all these years, and she hasn't learned anything else, but this ability to observe words and emotions is innate.

This may be a kind of sadness, a little girl of such an age has such a profound experience of the rivers and lakes.

Seeing that the father and daughter had no intention of leaving, the peddler couldn't help it, and opened his mouth to prepare to drive people away.

Who knows, at this time, a man in armor and a knife came over and looked left and right.

What are the people most afraid of?

In addition to the rich, they are the powerful and the military master, especially the military master in front of him, who is still wearing the armor of the captain.

The peddler was so frightened that he hurriedly ran out from behind, and asked with a flattering smile on his face, "Yo, this military master, what do you want?"

The man ignored the peddler, but turned his head to look at Chu Yujia, who nodded slightly at him.

At this time, the man took out a piece of silver from his armor and threw it to the vendor: "I have packed your stall, and everything is packed." ”

Of course, the peddler couldn't help but shudder when he saw the small movements of the general and the man, the two of them obviously had a bad relationship, and they were secretly glad that they didn't make a sarcasm just now.

"Buying snacks for your daughter, you still need to borrow money from others, are you ashamed?"

Just as the vendor turned to load something, a woman's voice rang out.

It is not a loss that the woman who used to be famous in Yueling City, although her attitude is as cold as ten thousand years of ice, but the integrated voice is tactful like a yellow bird, light and moving, and this voice is enough to attract a large number of children of the writer and ink family to worship under its pomegranate skirt.

Chu Yujia didn't need to look back, just by listening to this voice, he knew who was coming.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "I haven't brought anything with me after three years of traveling at the border gate, where can I have the money to let my daughter eat snacks?"

The woman snorted disdainfully, and when she looked at the girl who was happily following Liao Hao to choose pastries, her eyes revealed ten thousand tenderness, and tears gradually welled up.

"Little Yao'er......"

The woman called softly.

Xiao Yao'er held two pastries that had been loaded in her hands, and looked back at the woman with some suspicion.

I saw that she had a small face, clear eyebrows, beautiful appearance, and very delicate appearance.

"Little Yao'er......"

She called again.

Xiao Yao'er pouted, ran back to her father quickly, hid behind her father, and poked out her little head to look at the woman in front of her, as if she wanted to determine who this woman was.

Chu Yujia slowly squatted down and helped her wipe off the food residue stained on the corners of her mouth.

Seeing this scene, the woman pursed her mouth tightly, and a burst of sadness suddenly hit, turned her head, and quietly wiped the corners of her eyes.

Xiao Yao'er couldn't help but look at her father after seeing the woman's inexplicable actions.

Chu Yujia stood up, took Xiao Yao'er's hand, and slowly walked towards the woman, and as he walked, he said, "Didn't you tell me that you want to kiss your mother." ”

"She's the mother you think about day and night, and you want to see every day. ”

When she heard the last two words, Xiao Yao'er hesitated, stunned as if she were a chicken, and was stunned in place, holding the pastry bag tightly in her hand.

The woman slowly squatted down, stretched out her hand, and said in a trembling voice, "Yao'er, come to my mother." ”

Chu Yujia let go of her daughter's little hand: "Let's go over ......"

Xiao Yao'er seemed to be a little scared, turned around three times in one step, slowly walked in front of the woman, and asked timidly: "Are you really, my mother?"

It's been three years, and when she left three years ago, she had just learned to speak, and she was a happy woman who had just become a mother.

She had even forgotten what her mother looked like.

And even if she remembers the appearance of her daughter, now when she sees this black and thin little girl, how can she dare to recognize it?

"Hmmm......"

The woman nodded heavily, held back her tears, and gently arranged her daughter's hair: "My little Yao'er has grown up and is beautiful, and she has grown so taller, my mother is a little afraid that you will recognize it......"

Looking at her mother's appearance, Xiao Yao'er grinned and glanced back at her father: "Daddy, I saw my mother's kiss, and I also touched my mother's kiss......"

Chu Yujia didn't speak, just looked at the mother and daughter.

Xiao Yao'er turned around slowly, and a childish voice came out of her small mouth: "Mother...... I miss you ......."

"I miss you too......"

This time, the woman couldn't control it anymore, her tears burst into her arms, she hugged her daughter and cried, where was there still the appearance of the county lord of Danyang.

One big and one small, the two women cried silently.

Chu Yujia just stood there, watching quietly, he didn't know how many times he had fantasized about such a scene, so much so that when all this happened in front of his eyes, he still felt that he was living in a dream.

Even if it's a dream, he's going to do it to the end.

"Mother doesn't cry, mother doesn't cry......"

I don't know how long it took, Xiao Yao'er sensibly held back her crying, went to comfort her mother, and stretched out her little hand to help her mother wipe away her tears.

Seeing this scene, Liao Hao turned his head and scolded: "Special mother, what's the sand in your eyes......"

Danyang County Lord Palace Limo pursed his mouth, turned from crying to laughing, raised his hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of Xiao Yao'er's eyes and said, "Go, go home with my mother, my mother has arranged a new room for you, as well as your favorite rag doll." ”

"Ragdolls?"

"Is that the flower doll?"

Xiao Yao'er was very excited.

Once, when she followed her father through the border city, she saw a little girl holding a flower doll.

At that time, she was very envious, but the sensible didn't tell her father, she held it in her heart, and now she heard her mother say that she had a flower doll for herself, how could she be unhappy?

"Of course, if Xiao Yao'er likes dolls, no matter how much she wants, her mother will give it to you. ”

Outside the mansion of the lord of Danyang County.

Hundreds of soldiers in black armor were already waiting there early, one by one like tree stumps, motionless, without the slightest superfluous expression on their faces.

When they saw the ragged man and the little girl riding around his neck, everyone was excited, and one of the generals led by him suddenly stepped out of the ranks, knelt down on one knee and intervened: "The last general, Benle, today I am here to welcome the young general and the county lord home!"

Hundreds of people shouted in unison: "Wait, welcome the young general, the county lord home." ”

According to the law, the daughter of the princess is the lord of the county, the daughter of the county lord is the lord of the county, and the daughter of the county lord is the lord of the township.

In fact, Xiao Yao'er has not been canonized as the county lord yet, but they don't recognize that, just like they knelt down to Chu Yujia.

They are the iron horsemen of the Chu family, they don't recognize the king's orders, and they don't even care who is sitting on the king's chair in the palace in Yueling City, they only look at the general's orders.

Now that the general is gone, then they only recognize the orders of the general's son, Chu Yujia, the young general.
