Poor children

Chapter 224 His Highness’s New Hobbies

一
After dinner, Paoer called Stick and Qingjian over to ask questions.

"Three masters" Stick blurted out when he saw the poor boy, and then felt that something was wrong, so he followed Qing Jian to greet His Highness the Queen
"Gangzi, how are your first and second bosses doing?" Paoer asked.

"Back to the third, uh, if you're the queen, it's good to be the first in charge, but it's not so good to be the second in charge." The stick returned

"How is the second brother? Is there something wrong with his body?" Paoer became a little worried.

"Of course there is something wrong with the body, but it was not caused by myself. That was, it was the fifth aunt's grandma who beat me." The stick could not be squeaked but he still told the truth.
"Wu'er? Why are you beating him when you have nothing to do?" Pao'er asked again

"It's probably because the second boss is disobedient, and it's not because the fifth aunt is taking care of him. Last time, because he drank too much, he rode a horse out to have fun and trampled on the land of the tenants down the mountain. That guy beat the second boss and even Just tie him up and apologize to the old man, and then forget about it after losing his money." The stick described the scene vividly.

The pauper laughed when he heard this, "I heard this as if he deserves a beating, so he will be beaten. Naturally, he also recognized the beating. There are five sons in the mountain taking care of the second brother, so I feel relieved." few"

"Yes" Stick quickly answered
The pauper looked at Qingjian again. He was a spirited young man. Although he was thin, he was very strong. His eyes were shining, but he looked loyal.
"Qingjian, how old are you?" Paoer asked

"Fifteen" Qingjian replied quickly
"How many years have you followed General Huang?" Paoer asked again.

"Your Highness the Queen, I have been with General Huang for more than five years," Qingjian replied.

"More than five years, so you joined the army when you were only ten years old?" Pao'er was surprised why Tiedan'er recruited such a young child to join the army.

"The younger one is an orphan adopted by General Huang. He has taken him with him since he was a child and treated him like his own son. He also taught him all his martial arts skills over the years. Since then, the younger one has been treated like his father. "Calling General Huang" mentioned Tiedan'er, Qingjian's eyes were full of admiration
"If this is the relationship, I can also be regarded as your aunt. Brother Tiedan'er is willing to send his son to accompany Hong Yue. You don't have to always call me the little one in the future. Call me when no one is around. Called aunt, you must be considered my nephew after all." Pao'er complained again, "Brother Tiedan'er is so serious, he sent his son here without even saying a word to me."

"General Huang is unwilling to cause trouble for Her Royal Highness, even at the border, he is strict with himself, for fear that he will hurt Her Highness by doing things improperly." Qingfeng came again

"How is your father doing?" the poor boy asked.

"Excuse me, Your Majesty the Queen, everything is fine with General Huang." Qingjian thought for a while and then said, "Before coming to the Central Plains, my little, uh, nephew went to Daliang City in the northwest and met Aunt Laibao."

"Oh?" Pao'er's eyes lit up when he heard this. "She is fine at Laibao. There have been few letters during this time."

"It should be good, but I can't say it is good." Qingjian hesitated and didn't know how to reply.
"What did you say?" Pao'er couldn't understand what Qingjian was talking about.

"Aunt Laibao, uh, is pregnant," Qingjian said, "What!?" Pao'er was surprised, "She hasn't gotten married yet, why is she pregnant?"

"Ordinarily, this matter is also your fault, Her Majesty the Queen. It was you who asked her to go to the northwest to find Uncle Chengzhe. They were originally in love with each other and always saw each other day and night. Wasn't this going to happen sooner or later?" Qingjian Try to say what Laibao meant as much as possible

"You're quite a little kid, what do you know? These words were taught to you by Laibao, right?" The poor man naturally understood. "No wonder I have written less letters in the past six months. It turns out there is something wrong in my heart. If you don't Come, I think she is planning to come back to see me with the baby in her arms."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for Aunt Laibao's temper. If I don't listen to her, my life will be difficult."

"Okay, let me figure this out for her." Pao'er sighed and said, "I called you two here today because I want to ask you about Hong Yue always running out every day when he's not in class. , what on earth is he doing outside?"

"Go back to Your Highness the Queen, Your Highness the Second Highness, he goes out every day to fish," the stick replied hurriedly
"Fishing? Since when did he like fishing?" Poor thought to himself
"For the past few days, I've been going there almost every day, with a middle-aged man." The stick arrived again

"Middle-aged man? What kind of middle-aged man?" Pao'er seemed to have some idea in his mind after hearing this.

"He has a big beard, a dark face, and big eyes. He is tall and has a loud voice. He seems to have a bad temper and tends to ignore people. His Highness does not want us to reveal his identity. I've been sitting next to that man fishing all day long," the stick replied.

"What's the result?" The poor man laughed when he heard this. According to the stick, the middle-aged man fishing was none other than General Jinwu. He had heard that General Jinwu loved fishing, but he didn't expect that Hong Yue actually Knowing this, I didn't expect that I would be blocked even if I went to see him in person. That kid actually saw someone.

"The first two days were not very good. His Highness couldn't catch anything, so naturally he couldn't catch anything. In the past two days, he could catch some small fish and shrimps. It seemed that he and the man were getting angry and had to compete, and so did the man. The character of a child really comes into conflict with His Highness," the stick added.

"It's rare that my son has a preference. It sounds very good to me. You are all the most lovely people sent by Uncle Hong Yue. Naturally, I feel at ease with you. I feel even more at ease with you taking care of me. It's getting late. "You guys should go back and have some rest." Ever since he found out about Hong Yue's fishing trip, the joy on his face has never faded.

When Guangzi and Qing saw the two of them, they left after hearing the words. They happened to see the prince walking in from outside, so they greeted the prince again before going out.
"What's so happy about mother today? Eyes are full of joy." Hongwen sat down next to the poor boy, seeing the happy face of the poor boy, he naturally followed suit

"It's Hongwen, why did you go to court so early today?" Hongwen has been busy with political affairs for many days, and the poor man feels that he has not seen him for several days.
"There are a little less things today, and my son came back early. Why is my mother so happy?" Hongwen asked again.

"Your brother has grown up, so I'm naturally happy," Pao'er laughed, and asked Qiutao to get some snacks.
"Hong Yue? He can actually do something to make his mother happy?" Hongwen felt that if he didn't make his mother angry one day, he would be considered sensible.

"Yes, he actually went fishing with General Kingo," the poor man laughed.

"General Jinwu?" Hongwen suddenly thought, "No wonder he suddenly came to Chaoshang to find me a few days ago and asked me about General Jinwu's likes, conduct, and temperament. Where did he go fishing? This is obviously Go catch people. Did mother give him any errand?" Hongwen has been worrying about General Jinwu these days. Tianxing also has the intention to weaken his power, but he didn't pay attention to his movements before. Now he has become It’s a bit difficult to do this despite the climate.
"What errand can I give him? I just ask him to become a disciple," said the pauper.
