The world is heavy and late

Chapter 251
Duke Zhen continued to ask: "Then I will ask the kitchen to take good care of you for the next few days. Young people should not underestimate these problems, otherwise it will be too late for you to regret it when you reach your grandfather, who was in the war. Didn't take good care of your body."

Speaking of this encounter, Song Qi thought of one thing. He hesitated and looked at Zhen Guogong and said, "Grandfather, I want to go to the border."

Lord Zhen seemed casual: "Oh, why do you want to go to the border? I remember you never said before that you want to be a general."

Song Qi expressed his feelings straightly: "My grandson only knew what a real man is after seeing the scene of the Xuzhou and Suzhou frontiers this time. I yearn for the heroism of my grandfather and father even more. There is also the king of Xin'an County. They are all worthy of my grandson. People who admire."

Song Qi's eyes were as bright as stars, but he didn't know that the eyes of the general he yearned for back then had already seen many trials and hardships, and also had many unique schemes in the court.

Lord Zhen looked into his little grandson's eyes and paused for a moment before continuing, "Grandfather, I definitely want you to stand up to the sky. It doesn't matter if you become enlightened later than others."

"Speaking of which, I saw Cui Shu outside the Ministry of Rites a few days ago. Is he still waiting for an official?"

Song Qiyi thought that the person his grandfather said was "opened up early" was Cui Shu, "I don't know my grandson."

Duke Zhen sighed: "I haven't seen Cui Shu's parents for many years, how are they doing now?"

Song Qi said: "Well, I'm still playing chess with Your Majesty. Your Majesty said that he should go to the Fu Xue to teach, but he refused the Fu Xue and Cui's private school to compete for students. It's not good for him to go directly to the Fu Xue."

Duke Zhen got the answer he wanted. This time, the emperor visited many places, including food crops, frontier fortresses, aristocratic families, and even newly opened schools.

After Song Qi saw that he had finished speaking, Duke Zhen seemed to be in a daze. He was a little confused, so he asked cautiously, "Grandfather, do you agree?"

Duke Zhen returned to his senses and said perfunctorily: "You can ask your father about these things yourself."

After finishing speaking, he sent away the confused Song Qi. Song Qi didn't quite understand why his grandfather lost interest in chatting all of a sudden. Didn't he chat very happily at first?

Zhen Guogong waited for Song Qi to leave before he let out a sigh of relief. The Song family was really troubled, and the second child didn't know what to do, but Xiao Qi seemed to be going into the eyes of the emperor.

The emperor brought three people with him when he went out this time, one is the king of Xin'an County, his wife's family is from a big family, and he is also of royal blood, Xiao Qi is completely looking at other people's face, and he can be regarded as the son of a powerful general. The Xu Qing who was under him didn't have any boxing skills, and the emperor still had to take it with him.

He couldn't even figure out what was going on in the second child's mind, didn't he understand such a simple truth?The emperor trusted Xu Zhong even more than all of them.

He closed his eyes, and said to Chen Zhong: "Don't worry about the second child's affairs, let him get involved with it."

Uncle Chen was a little hesitant, but before he could speak, Duke Zheng came to his senses: "You can't just ignore it, restrain the people over there, and do things in a proper way. Look at what they have done since His Majesty left Beijing. Is there a sense of proportion?"

Uncle Chen agreed and went down to make arrangements.

Only Zhen Guogong was left alone in the study and pressed his head with a headache. From a general to a courtier, too many things have changed in the middle.

He couldn't help but think of Song Qi's eyes again. This kid, I really didn't see it before, he should be let out to practice for a while, no matter who he is, he will never be able to become a talent if he is confined at home.

Xia Qing is still saying this now, still suing Anping to Xu Zhong, there is nothing she can do, seeing that her Eunuch Xu is about to recover, she has to find something to attract his attention earlier.

When I came to the county office, I didn't take a carriage, so I walked back when I went back.

"Elder-in-law, you are too used to Anping on weekdays. You don't let him do anything. He just yells at everything he sees. That's how raising children is. How can you raise them in captivity? They must be free-range."

Xu Zhong's hands were behind his back, but Xia Qing pulled his sleeves in his hands. Hearing this, he didn't look at Xia Qing, but wrote lightly: "It seems that Aunt Xia has a lot to say, no matter what happens, she will not change her face." .”

Xia Qing glanced away guiltily, then quickly turned her gaze back to Xu Zhong: "Elder-in-law, I think you are wrong, how can you blame me for someone else trying to kill me, I am also a victim."

Xu Zhong paused for a moment, and glanced at Xia Qing amidst the commotion of the crowd all over the street. There were so many things in that glance that Xia Qing unconsciously pursed his lips and blinked his eyes.

"Xia Qing, why did you leave the palace yesterday? Can't you wait for me for a day? I wish I would be by your side when you are in danger. Maybe I can't beat you with two fists, but I can stand in front of you."

Xia Qing's nose was a little sore but she couldn't help but feel complacent. She looked up at Xu Zhong's deep eyes and said, "Elder-in-law, I want to come out to see you sooner. I think I will see you as soon as I come out."

Xu Zhong was also helpless, what could be done, she was the one who made people worry, and she was also the sweet talker, Xu Zhong had always had no choice.

Ren Xiaqing could only pull his sleeves and walk towards Huaiyuan Lane, Xu Zhong didn't forget to ask what happened.

After knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Xu Zhong asked with certainty: "So you won't go back to the palace in the future?"

Xia Qing nodded happily. In fact, Xu Zhong was also happy for a while. He didn't have to be separated day and night, and he didn't have to worry about Xia Qing's life in the palace. For Xu Zhong, it was enough, as for the others, they were not important.

Only then did I remember to ask Xu He: "Is Xu He leaving the palace to see you off?"

Xia Qing shook his head: "No, he was kicked out too, I forgot to take his cancellation book, oops, he has to make another trip."

Xu Zhongdao: "What are you doing, why do you need Xu He?"

Xia Qing was about to speak, but found that she didn't know where to start. Half a year is really not a short time. She looked at the door of Xu's house and said, "Let's talk about this later. I'm hungry. Eunuch Xu, please give me some charity."

Xu Zhong shook his head and laughed, this Xia Qing.

"Not at all."

"Miser, capitalist!"

"I know stinginess, what a capitalist is."

"The man who cut the leeks."

……

The conversation between the two became more and more crooked. Xia Qing was relieved when she got home. It seemed that she really had a lot of stories. How could she say it all?
"Master, madam, you are back."

Just after entering the door, she saw Anping and Cheng Dalang standing at the door holding a bunch of things. Xia Qing took a closer look to see clearly. She looked at Anping speechlessly and said, "It's only March, where did you get the wormwood?"

Anping glanced at the fresh wormwood in his hand and said: "There are hot springs in the outskirts of the city, and some people specialize in planting vegetables and flowers. Wen, it will be worthless in another month."

After hearing this, Xia Qing went to look at Xu Zhong next to him, and motioned him to see his housekeeper.

Xu Zhong also remained silent, Xia Qing turned his head and said, "Who bought wormwood a month in advance? Why did he plant wormwood?"

Anping was a little dumbfounded, suddenly felt that what Xia Qing said made sense, and glanced at the wormwood in his hand, feeling a little complicated.

Xia Qing looked at the brazier at Cheng Dalang's feet again, and sighed helplessly: "We didn't go to prison again, why are you doing this?"

Cheng Dalang and Anping still hadn't reacted yet, Xu Zhongxian said, "Okay, let's pack everything up."

Cheng Dalang and Anping looked at each other resentfully, and were about to leave with their things in their arms.

Suddenly Xia Qing said: "Ai ai ai ai, don't go, quickly arrange things."

Anping and Cheng Dalang regained their energy all of a sudden, Anping said to Xia Qing: "Ma'am, I will clean you up."

Xia Qing raised his chin and nodded, "Don't spill water on my face."

These words were like an imperial decree, Anping happily walked around Xia Qing holding the wormwood and dipping it in water, Xia Qing signaled Cheng Dalang to set up the brazier, and if he didn't take a good step over it, he insisted on jumping, and after the jump, he had to jump again. He raised his eyebrows triumphantly at Xu Zhong.

Xu Zhong averted his eyes on Xia Qing with some hurt. Really, he also said that Anping was lacking in heart.

She is also very noisy as a stocking one.

There is helplessness on the face in his heart, but how can he resist the tenderness and smile in his eyes, it seems that only she can have a voice in this Huaiyuan Lane Xu Zhai.

Seeing Xu Zhong standing at the door and not coming in, Xia Qing didn't dare to sweep the water with wormwood, so he simply picked up the basin and trotted around Xu Zhong by himself, still chanting : "Dirty thing, go away."

Xu Zhong had a headache, and before she could finish circling around, he quickly stepped over the brazier, and said to Anping who was standing aside: "Go and prepare the lunch, according to Madam's taste."

Anping went down immediately, and Xia Qing started holding the basin again, sprinkled some for Xu Zhong, Cheng Dalang, and Xu He who was watching the excitement next to him. Both of them knew Xia Qing's temperament, but they didn't dare to resist, so they could only be embarrassed dodge.

In the end, there was only one Xu Zhong standing there, obediently waiting for Xia Qing to bully her, but Xia Qing couldn't bear to bully her father-in-law Xu Zhong, so he just chased the people in the yard.

Xu Zhong just looked at it, his eyes were the same as many years ago, bright and focused, but with a thickness that was not there back then.

At this moment, Xu Zhong is fully able to bear and face the relationship between them calmly enough, not because he is now a popular person in front of the emperor, but because Xu Zhong has seen enough and wide enough, the world There were a lot of things that he couldn't imagine before. It was Xia Qing who opened the door for him, and he voluntarily walked in, and finally had the opportunity for the two of them to stay together.
