Hanhou

The population of the Han Dynasty was based on tens of millions, so it is not uncommon to have the same name.For example, Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, and Han Wangxin who took his prince to the Huns.

However, his name was Wei Qing, his biological mother was Pingyang Hou Jiatong, and his biological father was a county official. With such a background, except for the future Great General Sima, Zhao Jia really couldn't think of another one.

"Come closer."

Zhao Jia got off his horse and waved to Wei Qing.He also took off the cloth bag around his waist, poured out a few caramels, swallowed one himself, and sent the rest to Wei Qing.

Probably very few people were so kind to him, Wei Qing looked at the maltose, then at Zhao Jia, his brows tightened, like a vigilant little animal.It is really hard to imagine that this is the Marquis of Changping who will sweep across the grasslands and seal tens of thousands of households in the future.

Seeing Zhao Jia's actions, Wei Qing'e couldn't help chuckling.When Zhao Jia turned around, he simply lay on the horse's back and said with a smile, "A Duo likes this son?"

"Really happy." Zhao Jia pulled Wei Qing's little hand, which was not as soft as a child's, and the palm and back were very rough.There are calluses on the pulp of the fingers, frostbite on the fingers and the back of the hand, and the most serious part has been red, swollen and cracked.

"No need to be afraid." Zhao Jia simply squatted down, trying to be at eye level with Wei Qing, "Would you like to stay here? If not, I can send someone to Pingyang to deliver the letter."

He can't get online with Pingyanghou Mansion, so it shouldn't be a problem for Wei Yue.Anyway, if you have too many debts, you don’t have to worry about it. If you owe favors, you will owe it. At worst, you will find a way to pay it back in the future.

"Lang Jun keeps Qing, but do you want Qing to be Tian Tong?"

"Of course not." Zhao Jia smiled, picked up a piece of caramel and stuffed it into Wei Qing's mouth, watching the child's eyes widen and his cheek bulge.

"You're the only one, can you afford Leisi?"

The child frowned even tighter.

"If you want to stay, you can stay with him and help me take care of the cattle and sheep at the livestock farm." Zhao Jia motioned Gongsun Ao to come closer and gave him the rest of the caramel.

Wei Qing nodded, seemingly relieved.

Such IQ and EQ are not like a five-year-old child at all.But thinking about his life experience and living environment, he felt that it should be taken for granted.A five-year-old child can sneak into a caravan, hide in a cart, and be discovered after walking a certain distance. Without certain wisdom and mobility, it may not be possible to do so.

Gongsun Ao took the maltose, wanted to eat it but was reluctant, took a strong sniff of the sweet smell, tore off a strip from the hem of the sackcloth, wrapped it up carefully, and put it in his arms.

"Thank you, Mr. Lang, for the reward."

"Why don't you eat?" Zhao Jia asked.

"Mother and Ao went to Eldest Father, and depended on Eldest Father for food and clothing, so far they have not received anything in return. Ao wants to send these caramels back to Eldest Father's home and distribute them to younger siblings."

After listening to Gongsun Ao's explanation, Zhao Jia was about to speak, when a maroon horse's head suddenly came over, bit off his bag of caramel, and started chewing in his mouth.

"Zaohong, you can't eat this!"

Zhao Jia quickly grabbed the reins and pulled the cloth bag out of the horse's mouth.It was a good piece of fine cloth, several holes had already been bitten out.

Holding the cloth bag with one hand, Zhao Jia glanced at the steed, which snorted on the spot, then lowered its head and rubbed against him.

Zhao Jia was expressionless.

Who will tell him, is this a horse or Erha?

Regardless of the nature of the bay red horse, Zhao Jia couldn't say what he wanted to say before being interrupted like this.Turning around to look at Gongsun Ao and Wei Qing, they found that there were a few extra pieces of caramel in their hands.

Wei Qing'e put away the cloth bag, smiled and said to him: "A Duo likes this son, so let's stay. There are many troubles in my family, and she is too busy to get away, but no one can take care of him."

Zhao Jia nodded, whistled, and waved forward.Soon there were two healthy women galloping towards them. When they got close, they saw Gongsun Ao and Wei Qing standing together, and they turned their eyes to Zhao Jia.

"They stay in the livestock farm for the time being, find two thick leather jackets for them to change into, and find two pairs of boots."

"promise!"

The healthy woman agreed, one by one, and carried Gongsun Ao and Wei Qing onto the horses respectively.

Wei Qing was still four-headed, when the woman picked him up, she subconsciously weighed him and said, "Why is it so light, I'm afraid it's not as heavy as a lamb."

Gongsun Ao is a 12-year-old boy, he was quite embarrassed when he was picked up by the woman.

The healthy woman smiled heartily: "Don't be shy, my son is a round older than you. Sit down and don't move around."

When the two riders galloped away, Zhao Jia put away his relaxed smile and said to Wei Qing'e, "Sister, you didn't come to the livestock farm just to relax, did you?"

"I can't hide it from you." Wei Qing'er smiled bitterly, jumped on his horse, "Run with me, and then tell you."

"it is good."

With the sound of hooves, two horses, one red and one green, shot out like sharp arrows, and they were already a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Jia deliberately gave Wei Qingmo a horse's head, but the girl said loudly: "A Duo, do your best, don't let me!"

The girl's voice was torn in the wind, Zhao Jia clenched the reins tightly, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and the big bay red horse spread its hooves, surpassing half the horse's body in an instant.

"happy!"

After running around the pasture, the two gradually stopped.

Wei Qingmo rode on the horse, exhaled hot air, looked up at the sky, just in time for an eagle to fly by, and let out a loud and clear eagle cry.

"Sister, are you feeling better?" Zhao Jia said after a long time.

"It's much better." Wei Qing'e retracted his gaze and said with a smile, "Speaking of it, I'm asking for troubles. Those troubles are not unique, but I can't think about them myself."

"But the members of the Wei clan are here again?"

Wei Qingmo's father was an official in the county. He went out with the frontier army several times and beheaded no less than three ranks. He was rewarded for his military exploits and accumulated a lot of money and land, all of which are now in her hands.

Wealth moves people's hearts.

Zhao Jia couldn't help but feel annoyed when he thought of the faces of several members of the Wei clan.Hearing the girl mention "annoying things", I naturally thought of these people.

"Aduo guessed wrong, it wasn't a clansman, but my mother." Wei Qingmo said with a sarcasm.

"How come?" Zhao Jia was surprised.

As far as he knew, Wei Qingmo hadn't seen her mother for two years, and it was the latter who cut off contact on her own initiative.

"Her husband gambled with others and ruined his family property. Now he breaks the law and wants to spend money to atone for his crime. The family has no money left, so he asks for it from me. He even threatens that if I don't agree, Shangguan Temple will sue me for being unfilial."

"It's unreasonable!" Zhao Jia said angrily.

"Yeah, that's unreasonable." Wei Qing'er's smile was even more sarcastic.

If the relationship between mother and daughter is still there, she doesn't mind lending a helping hand.However, the other party hadn't come to the door for many years and avoided her like an epidemic, but now he suddenly came to the door and asked for two thousand dollars!

There is another thing that even Zhao Jia doesn't know.

When Wei's mother remarried, she not only took away the dowry, but also took a lot of money and silk from Wei's family.If it weren't for this, Wei Qing'er would not have just invested tens of thousands of dollars when Zhao's livestock farm was first established.

It's a pity that she was young at the time, and Wei's mother took control of the family with one hand, without leaving any evidence, so she had to let it go in the end.It was also because of this incident that Wei's mother kept alienating her, and only came to the door again when there was an emergency.

"If she refuses to give up, what will my sister plan?"

"The crime of two thousand yuan will not endanger life. Most of them are tattooed as city officials. Those who are severely punished will be whipped three hundred." Wei Qing'e flicked his horsewhip and sneered, "Even if she sues me at Shangguan Temple? Since she remarried Just cut off contact with me. His lover is not related to me. I have never called my stepfather. Everyone in the family knows it. Even if I don’t pay, no one can criticize. Even if the official sentence is really judged, I would rather Spend money to atone for yourself, and you won't give her one!"

"If she keeps refusing to leave, what will my sister do?"

After all, it is Wei Qingmo's biological mother, and if she really insists on not leaving, is it possible to beat her out with a wooden stick?If you really did that, you will get rid of your anger, but you will really pay the other party's wishes, and you will be charged with unfilial piety.

However, if he can lure people out of the village, he can replace Wei Qing'e.

Ever since Zhang Tong's incident happened, Zhao Jia suddenly discovered that being kind to others doesn't always lead to good results.When you should be hard-hearted, you can't be soft-hearted.

The girl is like his own sister.

Isn't it natural to be a younger brother's guardian sister?

"Why don't I hide in your house for a few days?" Wei Qing'e said with a smile.

"Sister, don't be joking."

"I'm so pitiful, but Ah Duo doesn't want to take me in?" The girl pretended to be sad.

"Sister, this method didn't work when I was nine years old."

"Can't you pretend once?"

"No."

The girl put away her sorrow and raised her whip silently.

huh - huh!

Zhao Jia pulled the reins, and said with a smile as he galloped away, "Sister, you have to be reasonable!"

"You..." The girl gritted her teeth, seemingly furious, but there was a smile in her eyes.He flicked his whip again, and followed closely behind Zhao Jia.

Two steeds, one red and one blue, gallop across the grassland, leaving the hearty laughter of the young man and the scolding of the girl's feigned anger along the way, accompanied by the howling north wind, frozen in time.

"Sister, if you don't want to see her again, I'll do it."

Zhao Jia's voice reached the girl's ears, and the latter pulled the rein, closed her eyes, and took a long time to say a word: "Okay."

Rows of wooden houses are built in the livestock farm for Uncle Xiong and young and healthy women to live in.

In a wooden house to the north, Wei Qing was wrapped in a leather jacket, holding a leather bag filled with hot water in his arms, and sat with Gongsun Ao beside a steaming clay pot.

There is hot soup rolling in the pot. The soup contains lamb leg bones with meat and ribs cut into palm lengths. There are yellowish oil stars floating on the soup surface, and the fragrance permeates the air.

Gulu-gulu-

I don't know who started it first, but the stomachs of the two started buzzing, one after another, continuously.

The healthy woman pushed open the wooden door, brought in a basin of hot water, and poured it into a wooden barrel leaning against the wall.He tried the water temperature, wiped his hands on the sarong, and smiled at Wei Qing: "Ah Qing, come on, wash it clean and eat mutton."

The woman has five children, and the youngest is able to ride a horse and shepherd sheep. Taking care of a four-headed body is no problem at all.Before Wei Qing could react, he was pulled in front of the woman, stripped naked, lifted up and put into the bucket.

Sitting in the hot water, Wei Qing's face was smudged red, and he didn't know how to react.

Since arriving at his father's house, he has never washed in hot water, let alone washed in cold water.If he contracted a disease, Ah Weng would not pay attention to him, and others would not find a doctor for him.

The woman picked up the cloth towel and wiped his arms and back. Seeing a few dark scars, she frowned immediately: "Sin!"

Wei Qing lowered his head, his eyes were red.

His impression of his biological mother has been blurred, and his life in his father's house is worse than that of a servant.He couldn't eat enough every day and had to go out to herd sheep. If he couldn't make it through, he wouldn't risk hiding in the caravan's cart.

"Cry." Seeing the child's red eye circles, the woman said while wetting his hair with water, "Just cry."

Wei Qing raised his head and looked at the woman with tears in his eyes.

"This is Border County, and the Huns come here every year. My eldest father died at the hands of the Huns, Aunt and Aunt were almost plundered, and my beloved was cut off half of his arm. I almost didn't survive. I moved to Yunzhong The county, the life is better. If you don't rely on the kindness of the Lord, let me stay in the livestock farm, the five children will probably starve to death."

The woman wrung out the cloth towel and wiped Wei Qing's face.

"The world is like this, no matter how difficult it is, you have to survive. A dignified man has to be ambitious and live like a human being. Stand in front of those who bully you and let them see that you live better than them!"

Wei Qing bit her lip and nodded vigorously.

When the woman was talking, Gongsun Ao also came over and said to Wei Qing: "I have no brothers, Ah Qing, from today onwards, you are my brother, and I will take care of you!"

When Zhao Jia walked in, Wei Qing had already been wrapped in a leather jacket, and sat down in front of the pot again, clutching a sheep bone and biting at it, looking vicious like a wolf cub.

Gongsun Ao was also pressed into the wooden barrel and scrubbed for a while, and sat beside Wei Qing wrapped in a leather jacket, also grabbing bones and gnawing happily.

Hearing the sound, the two stopped their movements at the same time, looked up at Zhao Jia, and hurriedly wanted to salute.

"It's okay, just sit down."

Zhao Jia squatted down with a smile, looked at the clean four-headed body, and seemed to understand why the third son of Wei always liked to hold himself as a hand stove.

However, this is the future Great General Sima, no matter how cute you are, you have to hold back, and you have to think twice about making dumplings.
