Original Collection

Xiao Shiji wanted to see Du Hengshuang very much, but remembered that Aunt Du had only given birth two months ago, so he hurriedly said, "I haven't seen Aunt Du for a long time, should I go see Aunt Du and say hello?"

Fang Wuniang gave birth to her second child two months ago, a daughter, which made her very disappointed.

Du Xiancheng was very happy, and immediately named him Du Hengxue, and asked four nurses to take care of her in turn, so that Fang Wuniang could barely smile.

For Du Hengxue's full moon ceremony, Long Xiangye said that her second son, Xiao Taiji, was ill, and it was not easy to bring him to Du's house as a guest. Even the eldest son, Xiao Shiji, was detained at home by her, and she also said that he felt a little uncomfortable.Xiao Xiangsheng was the only one who went to the Du family with gifts to add color to the full moon gift of Du Hengxue, the second young lady of the Du family.

Because of this incident, Xiao Xiangsheng went to live in the study in the outer courtyard for another month, and he didn't move back to the inner courtyard until Emperor Dezhen's conscription order came out.But his attitude towards Long Xiangye was also much weaker. Although Long Xiangye reluctantly admitted his mistake, there were a few more thorns in Wu Niang's heart.

Xiao Xiangsheng made friends with Du Xiancheng, but Long Xiangye had nothing to say.She knew that the two of them had a life-threatening friendship cultivated on the battlefield, which was incomparable to ordinary people.

But why should she make friends with Fang Wuniang, who is so big and illiterate?She is not familiar with her...

The people in the Du family are good at calculating, and even her eldest son was calculated.

Knowing that Fang Wuniang gave birth to a second child again, Long Xiangye really wanted to laugh in his sleep.But soon she couldn't laugh anymore, because she looked at her second son, and was very worried that the Du family would plot her second son away again.

For this reason, Long Xiangye secretly tested Xiao Xiangsheng several times.

Xiao Xiangsheng saw through her thoughts, and said with a sneer: "Your own son is a treasure, and other people's daughters are grass. You don't even think about whether others think of your son, so you are worrying about such unnecessary worries here! "Speaking of which, Long Xiangye really suffered from angina pectoris, and almost lost his breath.

Seeing Xiao Xiangsheng becoming more and more distant from him, Long Xiangye had no choice but to hold his two sons even tighter.

It doesn't matter if there is no man, for a woman, the most important thing is always the son, not the man.As long as the son is caught, the man will let him die...

Seeing Xiao Xiangsheng's icy expression, Long Xiangye sometimes couldn't help but think so.

This time when the conscription order was issued, Xiao Xiangsheng hurriedly took Xiao Shiji to Du's house to discuss, but also kept it from Long Xiangye.

Xiao Shiji's question made Du Xiancheng a little embarrassed, he laughed and said: "Your Aunt Du is still in confinement, let's wait until she is confinement."

Fang Wuniang gave birth to a daughter again because of her second child, and she was not in a good mood, so she sat in confinement.By the way, it's almost time for confinement.

Xiao Shiji had no choice but to go to the racetrack with his servants to meet Du Hengshuang.

In the spacious racecourse of the Du family, a snow-white Persian pony was jolting on the racecourse.Sitting sideways on the pony was a little girl in a bright red riding outfit, and her silver bell-like laughter echoed under the blue sky as the horse bumped.

This scene was deeply imprinted in Xiao Shiji's mind.

Many years later, whenever he thinks of this scene, he can't help feeling soft...

"Brother Ji is here!" Du Hengshuang reined in the reins, saw Xiao Shiji standing on the side of the racecourse from his horseback, and looked at himself with a smile.

Xiao Shiji waved his hand, "Shuang'er is really good, she rides a horse very well."

"Brother Ji!" Du Hengshuang yelled, let go of the rein, and jumped directly from the horse's back towards Xiao Shiji.

The red cloak on his body fluttered in the wind, like a group of red clouds falling to the ground.

"Shuang'er!" Seeing this scene, Xiao Shiji was so frightened that he rushed forward desperately, trying to catch Du Hengshuang.

But Du Hengshuang rushed too fast, and Xiao Shiji was too far away, so he couldn't reach it at all.

"Miss, be careful!" A gray figure rushed out from the slanting stab, and finally caught Du Hengshuang before she fell to the ground.

Xiao Shiji rushed over quickly, his face pale with fright, "Shuang'er, Shuang'er, are you okay?"

The one who caught Du Hengshuang was Qian Bo, the nursing home of the Du family.

Xiao Shiji also knew him, so he quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Chamberlain! Thank you, Chamberlain!"

Chamberlain is an old man in his late fifties. He usually looks very old, even older than his actual age.But at the critical moment, his kung fu can be seen, and it is simply hidden.

Qian Bo smiled and put Du Hengshuang on the ground, shook his head at her and said: "Miss, I can't do this again in the future. My old Qiantou will not always follow the eldest lady. If this happens again, the old Qiantou can be saved." Missy is gone."

Du Hengshuang also had lingering fears.She didn't know what was going on with her, but when she saw Xiao Shiji, she threw away the pony's reins.

Daddy once told her thousands and thousands of times not to let go of the rein, why did she forget?

Du Hengshuang was annoyed for a while, nodded again and again, and finally said in a soft voice: "Uncle Qian, don't let my father know about this, okay?"

Qian Bo smiled and patted her head, "Qian Bo knows. Don't be naughty again, miss." Saying this, he nodded to Xiao Shiji, bent his waist, and went back to his position in the nursery.

Xiao Shiji took Du Hengshuang's hand and sent her back to the backyard.

"...Mother gave birth to a little sister, and she has been hiding in the house crying. ——And brother, why is mother crying? Little sister is fine, is she not sick?" Du Hengshuang asked suspiciously, in her heart, only she was sick Mother will cry.Maybe now, add another little sister.

Xiao Shiji smiled.He is more than six years old, and he is a sensible big boy.

"Shuang'er, are you upset that your mother gave birth to a little sister?" Xiao Shiji took Du Hengshuang's hand and walked slowly on the pebble path leading to the backyard of Du's house.

Du Hengshuang thought this question was very funny, so he giggled and said, "My mother gave birth to a younger sister. I'm too happy to be happy. How could I be unhappy? Brother Ji's question is really strange." Then he asked Xiao Shiji, "My brother's younger brother Taier was born. Wasn't Ji Ge not happy when we were together?"

Xiao Shiji was speechless by Du Hengshuang's question, and took a careful look at her.

Du Hengshuang's eyes were pure and untainted by dust, and he looked at him fixedly.

Xiao Shiji pursed his lips and smiled, "Shuang'er is right, brother Ji asked the wrong question. You are a sister, remember to take care of your sister, but don't wrong yourself, you know? If you need to wrong yourself, your sister will be happy. Then You don't want this kind of sister."

Du Hengshuang was confused, but still nodded, "Shuang'er remembered."

The two of them were talking and came to the room where Du Hengshuang lived.

Du Hengshuang originally lived in the yard of Du Xiancheng and Fang Wuniang.

Later, because Fang Wuniang was going to have a second child, she thought it was her son, so she moved Du Hengshuang out to make room for her son to live in.

As a result, he did not have a son, but gave birth to a daughter.

But Du Hengshuang lived in his yard.Anyway, she has a foster mother, a nanny, a maid, and a mother-in-law, so she doesn't have to worry about having no one to take care of her.

Ou Yangniang was very happy to see Du Hengshuang and Xiao Shiji came back together, and prepared snacks for them, freshly baked fragrant flax cakes, Du Hengshuang and Xiao Shiji's favorite food.

Here Xiao Xiangsheng told Du Xiancheng about Emperor Dezhen's conscription order.

"Tell me, what does the emperor mean?" Xiao Xiangsheng walked around the room with his hands behind his back, with an ugly expression on his face.

Du Xiancheng looked at the conscription order with a blank face, stroked the mustache that had just grown under his chin, and pondered: "It seems that the emperor actually has a lot of resentment towards Goguryeo."

"The emperor is the best at pretending. In order to gain the favor of the empress dowager, he was able to pretend for more than ten years. There is only one woman, the empress empress. Now, once he becomes the emperor, he will immediately show his original shape. The 72nd concubine of the Sixth Court of Sangong, you see how much he has." How many women did he take in? —— Judging from this, the longer he endured, the more he exploded now. Goguryeo, this time, the outcome is really hard to predict.” Xiao Xiangsheng sat back opposite Du Xiancheng, picked up his teacup and blew , put it down again.

"According to what the elder brother said, this time, it seems that the scale is bigger than that of the first emperor." Du Xiancheng said slowly, "If you win, everything is easy to talk about. If you lose, the consequences will be disastrous."

Xiao Xiangsheng nodded heavily, "That's what I'm worried about."

In fact, as far as the conscription order itself is concerned, it has nothing to do with them.Because they are no longer ordinary merchants, but officials, and they are no longer in the category of ordinary civilians.The conscription order temporarily fails to recruit them.

But since it is necessary to use troops against Goguryeo, it is inevitable for these big merchants to bleed.As long as they can save money and avoid disaster, they will admit it.

"Let's wait and see what happens." Xiao Xiangsheng made up his mind, and Du Xiancheng of course agreed.

In October of the third year of Changye in the Great Zhou Dynasty, soldiers were recruited, and in March in the fourth year of Changye in the Great Zhou Dynasty, 50 troops and [-] civilians were gathered.

In April of the fourth year of Dazhou Changye, when the spring was warm and flowers bloomed, Dazhou once again used troops against Goguryeo.

Zhang Zhonghui, General Zuoyiwei of the Great Zhou Dynasty, served as the coach. With an army of [-], he set off to Goguryeo in the north.

This time to conquer Goguryeo, the whole country responded with greater expectations and confidence.

Unfortunately, things backfired. At the end of the year, news began to spread that the Chinese military account led by General Zuo Yiwei Zhang Zhonghui was attacked by Goguryeo General Pu Guang.Zhang Zhonghui would rather die than surrender, and committed suicide in the Chinese army tent.

The coach died, and the Zhou army was in chaos.

The [-] army was once again murdered by the Goguryeo people.

It was the twelfth lunar month of the fourth year of Changye in the Great Zhou Dynasty when the news of the [-] troops being murdered officially reached Chang'an City.

In the twelfth lunar month of this year, Xiao Shiji was seven and a half years old, and Du Hengshuang was only four and a half years old.

Hundreds of thousands of strong Liangjiazi disappeared overnight, and the national strength of the Great Zhou was suddenly hit hard.

This winter, the weather has been warm as spring.Luoyang peonies are in full bloom in the twelfth lunar month, but no one dares to say that it is "auspicious", and no one dares to report it to the court and receive a reward.
