Li Daitao

Qin Shu looked at Xu Ji who was obviously the villain's first complaint with a complicated expression, and he didn't know what to say about him. Unfortunately, Xu Ji still didn't know what to do. looking at him.

Qin Shu was silent for a while, and finally there was a look of emotion on his face, and he suddenly laughed out loud.Seeing this, Xu Ji immediately wanted to get out of the car, and rushed towards Qin Shu: "It's all because of Qizhang's narrow-mindedness, I was bullied, Daddy..."

He didn't know that Qin Shu was annoyed that he didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, and he was originally smiling angrily, but now he stepped forward to act good, and it happened to be a trap for himself.

Qin Shu caught him and picked him up casually.After laughing, he suddenly lowered his face and said coldly: "The little prince beat you well! You deserve it!" Before Xu Ji could recover, he patted his butt hard.Xu Ji tasted Yi Zhen's slap just yesterday, and the scar didn't hurt and he still hasn't forgotten it. This time, the slap landed on the place where he was slapped yesterday, and he yelled, looked at Qin Shu and blinked, and tears started to fall. Turning around inside, seeing Qin Shu looking at him with a sullen face, he finally felt pain and fear, he got off the ground and turned towards Yi Zhen, "Father, Father, Daddy hit me, woo..."

Yi Zhen didn't expect Qin Shu to make a move, and he didn't have time to stop him. He wanted to hug him to comfort him, but Qin Shu had already turned his head towards him, his face was cold and expressionless, but there was anger in his eyes The little flames are flickering, and they say: "It is because you spoil him and pamper him in every possible way that you have raised him to act so recklessly, and now he is so bold and reckless. I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future. Sooner or later, he will be killed." Make a catastrophe."

Yi Zhen coughed: "It's normal for children to fight and quarrel, even for the little prince..." Seeing Qin Shu's expression froze, his face seemed to be getting colder, so he immediately changed his words and scolded Xu Ji: "But who is the little prince? If you teased him first, how can you blame Qizhang for taking care of you? I said earlier that he is younger than you, and you are an older brother. Let him go. Are you going to be disobedient? It's really a good fight." !"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a gesture to hit him, but in the end he just patted Xu Ji on the head symbolically, put him down, and looked at Qin Shu, the meaning was very clear: Look, I disciplined my son.

Seeing his understatement and perfunctory attitude, Qin Shu thought that he had never touched the child except that he really cleaned up Xu Ji yesterday.It's really not hard to imagine how Xu Ji developed his current temperament.He glanced coldly at Yi Zhen's face, but didn't answer.

Xu Ji had never been so splinted at both ends before, he was taken aback for a while, and climbed up the car while crying, and rushed to Liang Xiao: "Brother, brother, my father beat me..."

Fortunately, Liang Xiao didn't look at him like the two fathers did. He hugged him very distressedly, and coaxed him while wiping his tears.Xu Ji finally found a backer and simply burst into tears.

Seeing that he would not be able to stop for a while, Qin Shu didn't say anything to comfort him. He watched him silently for a while, then turned and led the horse forward.Yi Zhen looked at Xu Ji with some reluctance, but it was inconvenient to coax him immediately in front of Qin Shu, so he finally made up his mind and followed Qin Shu with the car.

The two walked quietly for a while. Qin Shu spoke to him first and called Lord Hou. He obviously calmed down a little, and his voice seemed very calm.

Yi Zhen responded, and quickly took two steps closer, pricking up his ears to listen.

"Jian An's matter, what is Hou Ye going to do? Hou Ye really isn't planning to return to Beijing?"

Yi Zhen said: "It's just a temporary expedient to ask Jian An to accompany the little prince. When I settle down here, I will take him over."

Qin Shu couldn't help turning his head to look at him, his eyes gradually became worried: "Then how will Lord Hou plan to explain to the emperor?"

Yi Zhen was taken aback for a moment, but immediately understood what he was worried about: "Qingdi was eager to establish Qizhang, but in terms of temperament, Shaoxuan took the title of crown prince halfway, and he always acted as he wanted. I'm used to it. If I really become an emperor, it's not a blessing for me or myself. However, Qizhang is smart and stable. If he is cultivated from an early age, he will be much better than Shaoxuan in the future. Shaoxuan also has self-knowledge, not So I care about this position. As long as I do nothing, those old officials in the court will not be able to make much love, and sooner or later they will have to do what Qing Emperor wants. When I want to pick Jian An out, Qing Emperor will not make things difficult."

After hearing what he said, Qin Shu did not breathe a sigh of relief. After a long silence, he sighed softly and said, "Master Hou, why is this so important? It's better to think about this matter again and think it over clearly. In the future..." He turned his head Going to look at the two children in the car, Liang Xiao was making gadgets for Xu Ji with the grass leaves he picked up just now. Xu Ji was crying, but couldn't help looking around curiously, the crying gradually small.

"Even if Lord Hou doesn't care about it himself, when he grows up and Jian An grows up in the future, they know that what they should have been given up so easily by Lord Hou, they will blame him in the future. Master Hou thinks this way, and they can't force it Others think like Lord Hou too."

Yi Zhen was slightly taken aback, but he was very stubborn: "No one can tell what will happen in the future, anyway, they are willing now, and when they regret it in the future, just go back to Beijing by themselves, the title of Lord Marquis is still there, sooner or later it will be his Both of them are still young, I can't just leave them in the capital and come to you by myself. Besides, don't you want to watch them grow up day by day?"

Xu Ji's waywardness, in the final analysis, is up to him. He has always been a man who does what he wants. Qin Shu knew this a long time ago. Hearing what he said at this time, he didn't bother to care about it. I lost all interest, and just gave him a dull look.

Yi Zhen also felt that it was inappropriate to say this, and after thinking about it, he said in a low voice: "I have no other intentions, we will find a place to live. If you don't want to, I won't bother you, as long as I can occasionally Seeing you from a distance, and knowing that you are living a good life, I am satisfied. If you don't want to see me, I won't let you see me..."

Hearing what he said, Qin Shu didn't know what to think, so he didn't speak for a while.

Yi Zhen was a little uneasy at once, and reluctantly said: "Look, Tongcheng is not your family, why can't I live here..." Obviously Qin Shu has no power and power, so he can't do anything to him, he is in front of Qin Shu , but always a little guilty, lacking the confidence to speak, and quickly whispered: "It's not bad for me to live in Tongcheng. If you want two children, you can come and see them anytime. They will be very happy... "

Qin Shu didn't know what he was thinking, walked forward for a while, and then said slowly: "I won't stay in Tongcheng forever. You can live if you want, and it won't hinder me."

Yi Zhen was taken aback, and blurted out: "Isn't that your hometown? If you don't stay there, do you still want to go there?"

Qin Shu glanced at him and saw that he seemed a little funny when he was nervous, but only the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, with a slightly strange expression on his face, and after a while, he said softly: "I'm not richer than Lord Hou, I can spend all day I don’t have anything to do and don’t worry about food and drink, I still have a family behind me to support, if I don’t find more things to do now, how will I live.”

Yi Zhen also felt that he had overreacted a bit, and smiled embarrassingly: "I know that you supported the eunuchs and maids of the previous dynasty, I have already entrusted someone to handle these matters for you, and you don't have to worry about them anymore. "He did these things, and Qin Shu would know about them sooner or later. At this time, he saw that Qin Shu's face was still good, so he couldn't help but said it, and took the opportunity to ask: "If you insist on doing something, don't you?" Can you find it in Tongcheng? Actually, even if you don't do anything, I will..."

He wanted to say that I can support you, but he didn't get completely dizzy, and suddenly came to his senses, and quickly swallowed this sentence back.

Qin Shu didn't show any anger, and said in a flat voice, "It's not convenient for me to be in Tongcheng. I'm afraid it won't be easy to find a job. Besides, I don't really want to stay there."

From his expression, Yi Zhen quickly thought of what he was referring to, and couldn't help feeling tense in his mind. What he did back then made Qin Shu completely notorious, and even if the impact had been Nine years have passed, and it is impossible to completely erase it. He can understand the reason why Qin Shu is unwilling to stay in Tongcheng, and he can't help but feel a faint pain in his heart.

He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he felt his chest was blocked by something, and he couldn't say anything.

However, Qin Shu didn't seem to care about these things at all, and after finishing speaking flatly, he turned his head and didn't look at him anymore, which meant that he didn't want to discuss this further.

Yi Zhen refused to be reconciled, followed two steps and asked softly: "Then when will you come back?"

Qin Shu thought for a while and said, "Now that's a good idea, maybe three or two months, maybe a year or so, and of course I'll go back and have a look when I'm free."

Seeing that Yi Zhen wanted to say something more, he sighed: "No one else can stop what Lord Hou wants to do, but I don't care if Master Hou can listen to what I say." He looked at Yi Zhen and said seriously : "Even if Master Hou feels guilty towards me, he can't change anything, so Master Hou doesn't have to rack his brains to do something for me. I don't want to worry about the past, and Master Hou doesn't have to worry about who is right and who is wrong, who How much is owed to whom? I can't figure it out for a long time. Even if I don't have Xiao Hei and Master Hou, it's just a little harder, and I don't have to live on. Master Hou can go back to Beijing right now, and let us live our lives as we did before."

If he is indignant, although Yi Zhen feels guilty and uneasy, he still wants to do his best to treat him well.Seeing that he deliberately behaved very calmly and calmly, Yi Zhen was at a loss, as if he was about to cease to exist in his eyes.After being stunned for a while, he said embarrassingly, "You say that, but you still hate me in your heart."

Qin Shu also didn't explain: "What does Lord Hou think? That's his business, but I'm really tired. It's enough to have Liang Xiao by my side, and I don't want to bother with the affairs of you two father and son."

Yi Zhen heard that there was a little resentment in his tone, but he breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly said: "Xiao Ji is still young, teach him slowly in the future, and you will slowly correct what you think is wrong."

Qin Shu felt that this person was really like a plaster, the kind that couldn't be shaken off after sticking on it.In all fairness, after going through these many years, many things have faded away. He no longer wants to bring up the past again, and he doesn't even have the energy to worry about it. He just wants to live the rest of his life peacefully.

But Yi Zhen had to appear in front of him, and he managed to stop thinking about how hateful he was, and magnanimously expressed that he would no longer care about him.Having said so many words, it was a waste of effort, Yi Zhen really didn't listen.

He didn't bother to talk to him anymore, he got on the horse and pulled the rein and walked to the front.

Since that day, Qin Shu's attitude has not changed much, he is still lukewarm towards him, and will never talk to him if there is nothing wrong, but if Yi Zhen deliberately finds something to talk to him, he will have questions and answers , and will not ignore it, and there is no contradiction on the outside.

The two children couldn't understand the thoughts of the adults, so they naturally felt that the relationship between the two of them seemed to be much more harmonious than before. From the children's point of view, this was a good thing.

Xu Ji has indeed restrained himself a lot since that day, occasionally being a little mischievous, but still knowing how to behave.He had a lively nature, stayed in the carriage, kept his mouth open all the way, chattering and pestering people endlessly.Qin Shu was so dizzy from his noise that he almost suspected that a nest of sparrows was locked in the car.Xu Ji had endless words in front of him before, and he was able to speak eloquently in a variety of tricks.He originally suspected that it was Yi Zhen's instruction, but now it seems that it is the child's nature.There is still a need for people to teach.It is really thankful that someone can teach him to say a few words less.

He has always been a quiet person, and he is used to Liang Xiao always being quiet and talkative, but now suddenly there is Xu Ji, who is far more curious and talkative than ordinary people, who climbs on the car window and pesters him to ask if he is okay. stop.He had to deal with Xu Ji's strange questions, and he was also worried that the bumping of the carriage would make him stumble.

After coming and going, facing Xu Ji's chatter, he just listened to it, and occasionally hummed once or twice in agreement.

On the contrary, Yi Zhen has full patience, he can give the same inexplicable explanation to Xu Ji's completely inexplicable question, hearing Liang Xiao laughing and Qin Shu frowning, but he can also deal with Xu Ji .

After a few days like this, the journey has been safe and sound. After getting along for a few days, Liang Xiao may have been infected by Xu Ji, and he seems to be much more cheerful, gradually becoming more lively, laughing more often than before, and occasionally Also asks childish questions that he wouldn't have asked before.

When Yi Zhen was free every day, he didn't know where to find out the book of fairy tales and read it to the two children as a story. Xu Ji was scared and curious, and was often too scared to sleep alone at night.Liang Xiao is older than him, and also more courageous than him. On the surface, he is not as timid as Xu Ji, but he can't help but clenched the corner of Yi Zhen's clothes, and people also snuggle up to him. Yi Zhen enjoys it very much. His closeness, so he never tires of it every day.

This child has a very good memory, he can remember almost every book he has read to him once, Yi Zhen sees that he is so endowed, he just thinks it's a pity not to let him study seriously.Tentatively, he mentioned it to Qin Shu. Qin Shu might have other ideas, but he didn't reject it outright.

Qin Shu's attitude seemed to be softening bit by bit.He has a calm temperament, obviously he can't coax the children as easily as Yi Zhen, so he just quietly followed them and listened attentively to what they said.Yi Zhen once saw him watching them play with a certain kind of extremely focused eyes, that kind of expression, as if he would never see them again, he wanted to keep everything he saw in his heart deeply, but when the two children , or as usual.

But even so, Yi Zhen still felt very relieved, and even secretly hoped that this journey would be longer, and maybe something could be changed.

But their footsteps are indeed slowing down day by day.The nearby forests are gradually luxuriant, and there is no longer any agriculture, industry and commerce on the way. First of all, the very comfortably furnished and spacious carriage can no longer be used.A group of people had to ride horses instead.The road ahead became more and more rugged, and the two children naturally couldn't ride horses by themselves, so they had to sit in front of each other, so that they could take care of them nearby.

But riding down a horse all day is naturally extremely uncomfortable.Xu Ji is coquettish and full of tricks, he wants this one and then another, he will inevitably yell and yell when he sees something novel on the road, and then delays for a while, and finally the tender skin is worn out by riding a horse, and he grunts and twitches more and more. I can't settle down, it only disturbs people, and I can't walk much in a day.

He was accustomed to by Yi Zhen, and he really suffered at this time, so Yi Zhen had nothing to do with him at this time, thinking that he must have annoyed Qin Shu a few times, but when he took a peek at Qin Shu, he saw Although his expression was a little anxious, he didn't show any impatience towards Xu Ji.This is a little relieved.

But in this way, the distance that can be traveled in a day can be imagined. At first, when they set off, they could still go with some caravans that were also going to the southwest, but they would inevitably fall behind as they walked.This is nothing, but the further you go to the southwest, the more sparsely populated, and sometimes you can't meet people, so you have to sleep outside.

That day, even at dusk, I didn't meet anyone, so I had to find an open place to hang out for the night. Xu Ji was very happy, and wanted to run to catch birds, Qin Shu told him not to run far, and hurriedly told Liang Xiao followed him to watch him, don't let him pick wild fruits and eat them indiscriminately.There are no big birds and beasts here, but be careful of snakes, ants and poisonous insects. The two children have put medicine to repel snakes and insects. As long as they don't run away, it doesn't matter much.

Qin Shu untied the blanket from the back of the saddle, and was about to spread it on the ground, but Yi Zhen picked it up.He was going to pick up some dry firewood, but was stopped by Yi Zhen. Qin Shu was a little surprised, looked up at Yi Zhen, but saw a little worry in his eyes: "If you are tired, sit and rest first, I will do these things."

Along the way, I don't know whether it was the weather or the result of Qin Shu's loss of appetite because Qin Shu was facing him. Qin Shu's appetite has never been very good.He already felt that Qin Shu seemed to be getting thinner and thinner. When he got closer to the southwest area, the weather gradually became hot and humid, so the clothes on the whole group became thinner. Qin Shu couldn't hide it even more when he was wearing such clothes. It was empty on him.Yi Zhen felt as if he could be blown away by a gust of wind.It is inevitable to feel distressed and worried.

Qin Shu didn't force himself, sat aside and watched Yi Zhen tidy up. After watching for a while, he thought that he must not be able to do these things, but who knew that he still looked the same, but it was quite different from before, he could do these trivial things It was very good, and I couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Seeing that Yi Zhen was able to pack up a dinner, he shook his head, not wanting to think about it, and told him to gather more firewood, lean on the side and close his eyes to rest.He was exhausted all the way recently, and his energy was really low. He just wanted to take a nap, but he fell asleep before he knew it.
