Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 325 Moonlit Night
Wang Zhong and his wife put the food and wine on the table, and invited Wang Xiaolie, who was standing under the plane tree and looking east, to the table.

Watching a full moon finally peeking out from the horizon, Wang Xiao said: "Fifth Mid-Autumn Festival, I don't want the moon to rise after the sun goes down for such a long time. But it's okay, this time is just right to enjoy the moon." .”

Sitting down in his seat, he saw Wang Zhong and his wife still standing aside.Wang Xiaolie said: "Father, sit down. You are elders, my siblings should honor you tonight, but I keep you busy. It was my negligence, Father, don't blame me."

Wang Zhong hurriedly said: "Why does the observation say that? The little one is a servant, this is our duty."

Wang Xiaolie was stunned for a moment.Looking at Wang Zhong, he said after a while, "As long as I can remember, Dad has always called me Xiaosheren. Now I am not used to changing my words suddenly. Dad, since my father passed away, you have been taking care of me. Generally speaking. If you and your wife are willing, you don’t have to see each other in the future, just treat us as your family. ——Okay, let’s watch the moon tonight, why don’t you invite your family to come together?”

Wang Zhongdao: "What are their identities? If they come, please disturb the mood of observing the moon!"

"Identity?" Wang Xiaolie shook his head. "They are your children, my brothers and sisters, why can't they be together?"

Seeing Wang Zhong embarrassed there, Wang Qingxiu on the side said: "Those brothers and sisters rarely see Dalang, even if they arrive, I'm afraid they won't be able to talk together. Well, there's nothing to do here, father Go home and watch the moon."

Wang Zhongdao: "The little one is gone, who will take care of him?"

Wang Qingxiu said: "Da Lang has his own soldiers, father don't need to worry about it."

After finishing speaking, he ordered the soldiers outside the door to take two boxes of oranges, grapefruits, pears and other fruits brought back by Wang Xiaolie, as well as a large bundle of sugarcane, and send them to Wang Zhong's house.He personally took a box of the best mooncakes brought back by Wang Xiaolie and handed it to Wang Zhong.Said: "Da Lang came back and brought some food from Xiangyang in the south. These oranges and grapefruits are very sweet, which are most suitable for eating at this time. By the way, this sugarcane is especially sweet, and it is something we don't have here. Take them home together Go. It is also a good thing for you to go home, watch the moon and eat fruit with your children.”

Wang Zhong looked at Wang Xiaolie, then at Wang Qingxiu, hesitant.

Wang Xiaolie got up and said: "I originally thought we were a family, so I invited my dad and his wife to come tonight. Dad can't let go, so forget it, let's go home and enjoy the family happiness. Mid-autumn festival is over, ah Dad went south with us to Xiangyang. You took care of me a lot before, and I will honor daddy in the future. Dad is getting older and doesn't need to work too hard."

Wang Zhong hurriedly said that he didn't dare.Thank you so much, brought moon cakes, and went out with the soldiers carrying the fruits.

Looking at the back of Wang Zhong leaving, Wang Qingxiu said to Wang Xiaolie: "You seldom called him daddy before, but calling him like this today makes him feel uncomfortable. I won't ask you what you think, it's just human. They all have their own identities, so it’s not a mess.”

Wang Xiaolie said: "Really? I didn't pay attention. I really feel that Wang Zhong and Wang Zhong are like a family, and there is no other meaning."

Wang Qingxiu shook her head and sat down.He took a bite of a five-nut mooncake brought back by Wang Xiaolie, and said, "The mooncake you brought back is indeed different, more fragrant and sweet. The filling inside is not available anywhere else, and it is delicious!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Actually, there are not many tricks, that is, if you are willing to add sugar, if you are willing to put oil, you should also add more salt. When the baking time is right, it will naturally be sweet and delicious. This mooncake is very popular in Xiangyang when it is made."

While talking, Wang Xiaolie sat down at the table and poured a glass of wine for Wang Qingxiu.

Wang Qingxiu drank the wine, looked at Wang Xiaolie and said, "You come back this time, and you feel much better than last time."

Wang Xiaolie nodded, and said with some emotion: "Yeah, when I came back last time, I was actually troubled for a long time. After talking with my sister once, I suddenly felt that everything was over. What annoyance."

Wang Qingxiu said: "In one or two years, you brought two or three thousand people south, and you have become the current situation. There must be a lot of troubles. But I never thought that my sister has such a great ability, and she can also relieve you."

Wang Xiaolie smiled: "Things in the world are actually very delicate. To be honest, my sister didn't explain anything to me, but I just thought about it at that time. This matter has nothing to do with my sister, maybe it's just a chance."

After hearing this, Wang Qingxiu became curious.Asked: "What is it? So amazing? Come and listen."

Wang Xiaolie looked up at the slowly rising full moon, and said, "Sister, do you feel that we live in this world, and sometimes we are like children? Ordinary parents are short-sighted, but when it comes to family and country Big things are like going back to my childhood. I am clearly not clear about one thing, but when I hear what others say, I suddenly feel that I understand it. Because I just feel that I understand, I still have to tell other people everywhere, as if it’s like showing off .but really, still don’t understand?”

Wang Qingxiu laughed when she heard this: "I'm just a woman, how do I know the important affairs of my family and country? But you say that you look like a child, which makes sense. Like in our village, the father of the Song family used to go out to sell goods and was well-informed. Everyone thinks that he understands everything better than others. Later, our father became a Jinshi and became an official, and everyone felt that his father understood better than others. When you lead the rebel army to win consecutive battles and occupy a huge territory, everyone now thinks You still understand. Others don’t feel anything, but I feel like a child.”

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "What my sister said is true. I want to understand that in this world, we are indeed like children. No matter how much knowledge we have learned, there are still many things we don't understand. What we really need When making a decision, you are rarely sure. Most of the time, you still have to take a gamble when you know there are risks. Just like me now, with tens of thousands of troops under me, in the territory of eight states, many decisions are actually not sure, so I just take a gamble. If someone is confident If you don’t even know the risks, you’re more like a child.”

After hearing this, Wang Qingxiu laughed.Among children, there is always that kind of person who is always full of confidence.

The moon in the sky is bright and clear, occasionally drifting through the thin clouds, creating countless shadows.Without the knowledge of future generations, under this night sky, Wang Xiaolie would also wonder if there are immortals living there, and how they would live.It's not that I'm smarter than people at this time, but because someone has seen it, or even been there, and I just know it.

Wang Xiaolie said: "In learning knowledge, what we pay attention to is learning in and out. Some time ago, I just couldn't get out, and I was always entangled in my heart. If I entangled a lot, I would naturally get annoyed. After talking with my sister once , I finally came out, and now I feel extremely relaxed."

Wang Qingxiu wondered: "Why did you come out? Let's hear it."

Wang Xiaolie said: "For my family, country and world, I used to have many dogmas in my heart. I thought it was a golden rule and I couldn't violate it. But the reality is that many things don't conform to the dogma, so I feel confused and even afraid. Even if I know what to do , still uneasy. What are you afraid of? I am afraid that this world will be different from the world I know, my knowledge will suddenly be useless, and I don’t know what to do. Finally, I finally figured out that I have never really known this world. What dogma are you talking about? Let go of these, and suddenly you feel relaxed."
