The Zhao family has an ancestral obsession with their preference for sons, whether they are from their own family or from a friend's family.
Zhao Wu was serving in the army of the Jin State at that time, and Xiang Xu was a senior official in the Song Dynasty. They got to know each other in foreign affairs. Among them, thanks to an important figure’s introduction: Shusun Bao, a senior official in the Lu State, he had a saying Famous saying: "Three Immortals", what he called "Three Immortals": refers to the three aspects of "morality, achievements, and speech". If a person can make achievements in any one of them, it can be passed down for a long time, even after death. Yousheng, this kind of reputation that is forever established in the hearts of the world can truly be called "immortal".
For example, Cheng Ying and Gongsun Yijiu's righteous kindness to Zhao Wu for "rescuing the orphan" was listed as "moral immortal" by Shusun Bao and was among the "immortal".
Xiang Xu, a senior official of the Song Dynasty, was one of them who also felt this great righteousness. As the Zuo Shi of the Song Dynasty, Xiang Xu saw too many wars and devastation of life. They had a very good personal relationship. Seeing that the Song Dynasty was suffering deeply from the situation of the two powers' struggle for hegemony, he suggested launching an "armistice agreement" - an anti-troop movement.
In addition to promoting peace policies in politics, Xiang Xu was also a peaceful and kind person in life. This was also deeply appreciated by Zhao Wu.
But good people may not always be rewarded. There are natural and man-made disasters, and he cannot get extra pardon just because he is a good person.
In this year, in the autumn of Yisi year, 556 BC, a strange disease appeared in the Song Dynasty: foaming at the mouth, scratching and biting people randomly, and being afraid of water, light, and sound. People suffering from this disease Symptoms are not only seen in humans, but also in dogs. The people of the Song Dynasty gradually realized that this disease might be related to dogs, so they united to expel these "dogs" on October 24th - rabies was the first infectious disease recorded in existing Chinese classics.
Xiang Zhong, the only son of Xiang Xu's concubine, was born in the summer of that year, and died young due to the rabies disaster. After losing her son, Mrs. Xiang was devastated and refused to eat or drink. He was so confused that no matter which child he saw outside, he thought it was his own.
Seeing Mrs. Xiang in such a condition, Xiang Xu was also heartbroken. He went to look for the orphaned child of the same age who had also suffered this time. He considered it his "adopted son" and gave it to Mrs. Xiang to feed and comfort him instead of his biological son. The pain of losing her son.
With this replacement son, Mrs. Xiang's spirits have improved, but she still occasionally goes crazy, running and hiding around the house with her son in her arms. Her random behavior made Mrs. Xiang very unhappy. She was afraid that it would affect the growth of her eldest son, Xiang Zheng, so she repeatedly suggested to Xiang Xu that she should divorce this "crazy concubine" and send her back to her parents' home.
Of course, Xiang Xu, who was kind-hearted by nature, was reluctant to do this. In order to solve these backyard conflicts and give his sick concubine a safe living environment, Xiang Xu asked Zhao Wu if he could place his concubine in the place where Zhao Wu was killed by Cheng Ying. Hidden in a safe and secluded place away from the world to recuperate. As Xiang Xu's sworn brother, Zhao Wu naturally agreed and sent people to take Mrs. Xiang and Cong'er to live in the place where he grew up in his childhood.
This place carries too many memories of Zhao Wu. When he wants to relax, he will revisit his old place once he is free and visit Mrs. Xiang and her son at the same time.
Watching Cong'er grow up day by day, his love for this child also grows day by day, as if he is seeing himself again. Every time I went over to see them, as soon as I saw this fat and pink boy, I couldn't help but love him and prick Cong'er's butt with his beard. He was also very worried about Cong'er's poor hearing. Every time he came here, he would bring a lot of newly collected prescriptions, trying his best to cure the poor child.
After Xiang Xu took care of the family affairs, he tried his best to cooperate with Zhao Wu in his career. In two "troop-killing campaigns", he showed off his diplomatic methods and finally achieved their desire to bring a long period of peace to this troubled world. desire to live.
Because of the long distance, coupled with his wife's vigilance and obstruction, he came to visit his concubine and his wife in person less often than his friend Zhao Wu. As a result, Cong'er, who was not considered a biological "father" by blood, went to his father. On the contrary, there was nothing too impressive.
Naturally, Cong'er never had the chance to see the shepherd dog that licked him all over. Not long after he came over, the big dog was killed in the first nationwide dog extermination campaign in Chinese history - the entire "Song Kingdom". , was treated humanely with reference to disease prevention measures.
The beautiful mountains, lush forests and infinitely beautiful natural scenery here can be regarded as a treasure land with excellent ecological environment and outstanding people.
Of course, the little animals will never be absent. All kinds of birds and raptors in the sky, livestock, flowers, birds, fish and insects on the ground are all harmonious and beautiful.
The beauty of mountains and rivers lies in the creation of heaven and earth; and the spirit of mountains and rivers is always due to the agile creatures swimming among them. What adds the finishing touch to these agility the most is human beings. These "spirits within spirits" are not big in body and have weak organs, but they have to be bowed down by other living beings and dare not despise them.
The presence of people here should be the "finishing touch". Just like this group of sheep, dotted with two colorful children, it makes people feel very lively.
Although there are no dogs to assist in herding the sheep, the "sheep-herding boys" are always the most reliable.
The neighbor boy and his "little tail" sister are the most admired commanders of this group of sheep. The boy has excellent eyesight. He has martial arts training in his family and is good at archery and tree climbing. He can always find better grassland and rush to This group of "Aries" go and enjoy.
The young man's father was the most famous hunter in the area. After marrying his wife who was also from the Song Dynasty, he learned how to herd sheep. He asked his son, who was always pestering him to go hunting, to herd sheep first, saying that he would first practice the basic skills. Teach him more skills. Originally, the boy had hoped to go secretly hunting with the shepherd dog he had grown up with, but due to the dog eradication campaign, he had to reluctantly say goodbye to his pet dog and take on the full responsibility of shepherding.
Moreover, she had to "let her sister go" along the way. This clingy spirit was either clinging to her father or clinging to him. Her mother was spinning at home. She was completely unwilling to stay at home to do this kind of female beauty that girls should like. , just like someone with ADHD, only by throwing her into nature can her "nature return". What a "wild girl"!
In this way, "Little Tail" was spoiled by his father and brother to the point of being helpless.
