"When the powerful or wealthy families in the capital celebrate the festival, it should be particularly lively. It is definitely different from us warriors." After eating two Yuanxiao symbolically, Shen Cha put down the bowl in his hand and looked towards the person sitting there. Song Jinyu, who was always praising Jin Miaomiao's craftsmanship, smiled and said, "We are very boring here. There is no dancing and music. All we have is eating and drinking."
"That's good, the dance music..." Song Jinyu came over and whispered, "In my opinion, it's the least interesting. Watching the dancers swaying, listening to the actors babbling, and some arty music People pretending to recite poems and make love can make me drowsy and boring. It's not as good as now, where I can enjoy wine, tea, and delicacies with my best friends, and we can also say some thoughtful words."
"Sister Yu is the only one who thinks it's so cold and deserted." Shen Cha picked up the teacup and rinsed her mouth, "Look, Commander Bai's compassionate look, maybe he's thinking of something!"
Bai Meng was sitting not far from Shen Cha. When he heard her words, he raised his eyebrows at her and sighed, "I'm thinking, we should really let those bastards in Beijing who are full of talk and men and women who steal and prostitute come to the border. Experience it and feel what their singing and dancing, their drunken life and death are all based on."
"You better forget it, don't cause trouble for us!" Xue Ruitian sneered, handed the bowl in his hand to Jin Miaomiao, and asked her to fill another bowl, then turned to complain to Bai Meng, "We used to It’s not that I haven’t accepted exiled officials from the capital before, tsk tsk tsk, that style is really out of sight. Speaking of which, those people are also very funny. They committed crimes and were exiled, but they still maintained their official airs."
"That's right, that's right. I still remember that there was a guy who didn't know who he was. He stood in front of the Marquis. Not only did he not kneel down, but he also raised his chin high." Jin Jing nodded and stretched out her chopsticks. The stewed fish in front of him, "The Marquis didn't wear official clothes that day, just ordinary clothes. He looked very plain, not as showy as before, just like a passerby, very inconspicuous. Because of this, that guy I don't take the Marquis seriously, you are so arrogant, you said that I think highly of you when I come here. You little soldiers must serve me well. I will consider rewarding you heavily after I return to Beijing. . Oh, by the way, he also told the Marquis to finish all the work he has to do. If he doesn't finish, he won't get food."
"Is there such a thing? You're really brave!" Song Jinyu and Bai Meng said in unison, their faces full of curiosity, "What happened next?"
"Originally, the Marquis wanted to tease this guy for a while, but Xiao Cha suddenly appeared and gave the guy a whip without saying a word. The guy was beaten until he was almost breathless. He didn't know until he fainted that he was right. Who is so arrogant?" Jin Jing raised her eyebrows at Bai Meng, "Actually, we have always thought that the guy was frightened and fainted. Xiaocha has always been very measured and looks quite scary. In fact, They are all traumatic injuries, they won’t hurt the muscles and bones at all, and they won’t even knock people out.”
"You do it yourself?" Seeing Shen Cha nodding, Bai Meng sighed, "This is also his blessing. None of the generals in Liao and Jin Dynasties are treated like this!"
"The commander-in-chief was joking. When that servant woke up, he knew that he had bumped into the Marquis, but the so-called literati's pride made him refuse to bow his head or admit his mistakes. As a result, he looked like a quail with a bald tail. Either they pretend to be deaf and mute and don’t know anything about it, or they just cry and scream, saying that we are taking revenge and so on.”
"Literati are just hypocritical. They always think that their own life is their life, and the lives of others are like shit." Bai Meng sneered, "When nothing happens, they always say the same thing. When they are really needed, He's like a mute, unable to say a serious word."
"Brother Huang is always angry about this kind of thing and always calls them trash."
"It turns out that they have the same virtue in the capital and in the court, so it's no wonder." Shen Cha snorted coldly, "That's right, if they were good, they wouldn't be sent here. However, these officials from the capital What we did was really an eye-opener for us. We have never seen such shameless guys. We have no choice but to throw them into the deep mountains and old forests. Out of sight is out of mind! What’s more, in addition to doing coolies, they There’s no other use for it.”
"Let them do more hard work and save them from thinking all day long."
"We think so too. As for what the great commander said, it is even more impossible to feel what their once comfortable life was based on. To this day, they are still complaining, thinking that we barbarians have treated them harshly. Here are Daxia’s rare treasures and pillars of talent!”
"They are rare treasures and pillars of talent!" Song Jinyu sneered, put down the chopsticks in her hands, replaced them with a new pair, and began to pick the thorns out of the stewed fish. "They are the beetles of the country." She took out the fish meat that had been cleaned of thorns. Put them all on a clean plate. "If they were really innocent and clean, they would not become prisoners."
Shen Cha nodded and looked at the three children at the table next to him. Seeing that they had all finished a bowl of Yuanxiao and were about to eat a second bowl, he stretched out his hand to stop them.
"Don't eat so much sticky food at night, or you'll have a stomachache at night." Shen Cha motioned to Mei Lin to take away the three children's bowls and bring them vegetables instead, "It's not good to be picky eaters!"
"General, aren't you a picky eater yourself?" Mo Kai raised his head and pouted and said to Shen Cha, "I ate two yuanxiao from beginning to end and nothing else."
"I've eaten a lot at lunch, and I'm not hungry yet. When I get hungry, I'll eat it naturally." Taking the fish from Song Jinyu, Shen Cha placed it in front of the three children, "Why don't you thank Her Royal Highness?"
"Thank you, Your Highness Princess!" The three children were obedient and thanked Song Jinyu, and Mo Kai winked at her.
"Eat quickly, the fish won't taste good when it's cold." Song Jinyu saw the three children immersed in eating, smiled, and said to Shen Cha in a low voice, "These three children are really lovable. Especially the naughty Xiao Kai, who is as big as a kid. The two older ones are like little adults, well-behaved. I don’t think they are much different from those high-ranking young men in Beijing.”
"like?"
"Of course I like such a cute child. But..." Song Jinyu touched her chin, "I'm not too worried about the two older ones. If they grow up according to the current model, they will definitely become responsible men in the future. . But this little devil... I'm a little worried."
"What are you worried about? Are you afraid that he will grow crooked and go the wrong way?" Seeing Song Jinyu nodding solemnly, Shen Cha shook his head, "It's impossible!"
"So sure? Why?"
"Sister Yu, don't forget, this is the border, not Xijing. The big men in Beijing may be worried that there are dandies at home, but we will never worry about it. The battlefield is a place where people are more experienced and faster than anywhere else. A place for people to grow." Shen Cha patted Song Jinyu's arm, "Isn't there a good example in front of us?"
"who?"
"That naughty young master of the Yan family!" Shen Cha nuzzled in the direction of Uncle Yan, "The young master of the Yan family who once gave the entire capital a headache has become so mature and dignified now. Who else is there?" It can’t be transformed on the battlefield?”
"That is to say, Xiaoyu, the children here are different from the young masters who grew up in gentle villages in Beijing. They are relaxed and relaxed now. In a few years, they will be like Xiaocha and the others. I went to fight for Daxia and went into battle to kill the enemy." After Jin Miaomiao had eaten, he stood up from his seat and walked to sit next to Shen Cha. After hearing what she said, he added, "The border is full of dangers. The children grew up in the border areas and have seen schools and dead people. Their minds are much more mature than those of the children who are about the same age as them in Beijing or throughout Daxia. They know what their responsibilities are, so they are sometimes willful and naughty. But they can still distinguish between right and wrong." She yawned and leaned on Shen Cha's shoulder, "Xiaoyu, don't worry, they have a lot to do and learn. He's just going astray."
