"Xiao Feng, do you think... well, these children are mysterious?" Qin Zheng looked back as he walked, "When I saw them winking just now, I always felt like they were up to some conspiracy. !”
"The dumplings haven't been eaten yet, and the rules can't be broken yet. Any conspiracy or conspiracy is unlucky at all!" Uncle Yan rolled his eyes at Qin Zheng, "Those kids probably want to give us a little surprise!"
"Surprise? What surprise?" Qin Zheng tugged on his mink cloak, "The purse Xiaotian gave you was also a surprise, and the two cloaks Xiaocha gave you were also a surprise? What else are you going to do?
"You are our young master after all, so why don't you have any interest at all?" Uncle Yan rolled his eyes, "Don't your parents give each other any little surprises? Have you never seen them?"
"No." Qin Zheng shook his head, "My father is an extremely boring person. The way to please my mother and aunt is to give lots of money, lots of good clothes, expensive jewelry, etc. He is busy. When I was young, I couldn't even take care of food or home, so what kind of fun could I have? My mother and aunt are very generous women, and they never care about these things." He looked at Uncle Yan, "You don't always do this at home, do you?"
"Occasionally, the more common ones are to go out to eat, watch a show, etc. Since I came to the border, I have no interest in these anymore." Uncle Yan patted the big cloak on his body, "To be honest, When Xiaocha took out this big cloak, I really didn't expect it."
"I see you almost cried." Qin Zheng smiled slightly, "Why?"
"Of course I am touched. I never thought that I would have such a day." Yan Bo said with emotion, "I don't know what they are planning to do next. Lao Qin, let's just pretend not to know anything. After all, It is the child's heartfelt expression, and you should show expressions of surprise, surprise, and touch at the right time and in an appropriate manner. Don't put a sullen face and hurt the children's hearts later."
"I understand this!" Qin Zheng sighed faintly, "Although I don't like to talk and laugh with them, I am not an unreasonable person." He reached out to brush off the snowflakes on Uncle Yan's body, and saw the little boy coming towards him. Pushing the cart, he pulled him aside and let the couple pass first. After they left, Qin Zheng took Uncle Yan and continued walking to the theater, "I have been thinking about it these days. Although I always say that Huilan is a magician and a liar, I have to admit that many things are wrong. He got it right."
"what you mean?"
"Do you remember that when we were in Xijing, he told us more than once that these children are not related to their parents."
"Remember!" Uncle Yan nodded, "I always thought he was talking about your apprentice and didn't think about anyone else. Who would have thought that within a few years of our return, the eldest brother, sister-in-law, and second brother and sister-in-law would... "
"Yes, since that time, I have changed a lot about Huilan. His passing was so sudden, I thought it was because he leaked the secret."
"I have always listened to him. My eldest brother and my second brother both said that Huilan might really be the reincarnation of Buddha!" Uncle Yan turned to look at Qin Zheng, "From just now to now, your mood is not very high. , just think of Huilan’s words?”
"No, I just feel a little sorry for my eldest brother and my second brother."
"Why?"
"The children are so filial. I always feel that they are robbing the eldest brother and the second brother of their blessings."
"You can't say that. Before the eldest brother and the second brother passed away, they entrusted the children to us, hoping that we could take over their place and take care of these children. To be honest, as long as we are here, these children still have a family in their hearts. Without us, they...should not be what they are now." Uncle Yan sighed, "The eldest brother, sister-in-law, and second brother and sister-in-law passed away one after another. What these children were like at that time..." He shook his head gently, "You haven't seen it. I’ve been there before, and I never hope to see it again.”
"You have never talked about those years, and I have never asked. Since we have talked about it today, let's talk about it!" Qin Zheng looked at Uncle Yan walking beside him, "I was in Yongning at that time Guan couldn't come back, and he couldn't help even if he wanted to. So he wrote to Xiaocha, and Xiaocha's reply was just to report good news but not bad news. But no matter how hard she tried to hide it, Jiaping Guancheng's achievements during that period could not be hidden. The two heads of the King of Liao and the eldest prince were enough to shock the court. Not to mention the feat of annihilating the 50,000-strong army of the Jin Kingdom. At that time, some people in the court questioned their military exploits, but some people secretly I ran to take a look and saw the corpses of Jin soldiers piled at the door, and then I confirmed that it was not a lie but that it was true."
"Oh, we know this. At that time, the whole city was on alert, with open and covert sentries spread out over a hundred miles. If there was any movement, we would receive the news. The Duke, the Marquis, and Xiao Cha all said, whatever They went to check and see. They had a lot of things to deal with and didn't have time to mess around with them." Uncle Yan nodded, "At that time, the people who made the decisions in the entire Jiaping Pass were Haolin, Xiaotian, Xiaocha and Xiaojiu. Although he is the second son of the Duke's mansion, you also know that he was still young at that time, and his kung fu was not as good as it is now, so he couldn't help much. He was very motivated, practicing from dawn to dusk, and his progress was very fast. quick."
"Xiaojiu...if I remember correctly, he followed Haolin and Xiaocha to the battlefield the next year. Although he didn't become famous in one battle like his sister, he quickly made his own reputation."
"Yes!" Uncle Yan gave a bitter smile, "To be honest, if the Liao and Jin Dynasties had not worked hard to commit suicide during that period, they would not have come out of the grief of their parents' death so quickly. Based on this alone, we have to Thank you very much to Liaojin."
"Sure enough, it is the same as my guess." Qin Zheng spread his hands helplessly, "Under the circumstances at that time, they could only rely on their own strength to get out of their sorrow. No matter how much other people tried to persuade them, it would be of no use. It just adds to the worries."
"In such a situation, what people need is silent companionship, not endless comfort." Yan Bo nodded, "I remember that Miao Miao and Hongye got very angry one day, and they cursed each other and left. People who came to visit and asked them to express their condolences and have bad intentions. Later, when Xiaotian moved into the Duke's Mansion, they just moved a chair and sat at the door of the Duke's Mansion. No one they knew was allowed to enter. .It is also because of this that these three girls have become sworn friends."
"Those two children are indeed good children." Qin Zheng nodded, "But in the past few days, it feels like Haolin and Xiaocha are guarding against Hongye. Has she visited Ah Bai from Erhutang?"
"Hey, this is really strange. How do you know?" Uncle Yan raised his eyebrows, "I heard Xiao Wu talk about it, but I didn't tell you, right?"
"I bumped into her when I got up at night, but I didn't care when I saw someone following her." Qin Zheng smiled, "It's probably nothing serious, just catching up on old times."
"I hope so!" Uncle Yan looked up and saw that the theater had arrived. He reached out and grabbed Qin Zheng, "Okay, okay, these unhappy things have passed for many years, and the most difficult period has been successfully overcome. After that, the children have grown up, recognized themselves, and have long been able to take charge of themselves. We old guys are very pleased to see it, right? The current situation is already very good, and I am very satisfied. I am also very contented, even if I am asked to meet my eldest brother and sister-in-law, and my second brother and sister-in-law, I will have no regrets!"
"You just taught me not to talk nonsense, but you started talking nonsense yourself!" Qin Zheng put his arm around Uncle Yan's shoulders, "Your most important task now is to accompany me, understand?"
"Okay, okay, I'll stay with you!" Uncle Yan smiled at Qin Zheng and said hello to the theater owner, "Boss Duan, let's make a lot of money in the new year!"
