In order to make Zhao Gao lie down more comfortably, Wawa tried his best to relax with his back against the bookshelf. He had nothing to do and simply picked up a book from nearby. He found that it contained many ballads from the Chu region, most of which were folk tales. The writing was very interesting, so he read it with gusto, forgetting all about the fact that there was a person lying on his lap.
At this time, Zhao Gao was sleeping soundly, and his children were reading the book carefully. It was also the time for the clerks to take a lunch break, so the surroundings were quiet. April is the time when catkins fill the sky. The green willows and red flowers outside are covered with a thin layer of white just outside a window. If there is a breeze, many catkins will fly high in the wind. When the breeze gradually fades, Stop and fall like snowflakes. Compared to the excitement outside, the Langhuan Pavilion filled with bamboo slips is much quieter and quieter.
I don't know how long it took, but when the baby saw something, he suddenly said "Huh" in surprise. He wanted to ask Zhao Gao something, but saw that he was sleeping comfortably and couldn't bear to disturb him any more. However, the doll soon discovered that there was a piece of flying catkins on his eyelashes. The doll puffed up his cheeks and blew gently, but it had no effect.
At this time, Zhao Gao was sleeping soundly with a calm face. His black hair was only loosely tied with a wooden hairpin, and it became a little loose as soon as he lay down. There is a sense of bookishness hidden between the soothing brows. He is dressed in pure white clothes, and his body is coated with a layer of soft sunshine, which directly makes the surrounding scenery eclipse. It is indescribably beautiful. The baby's breath froze after looking at it, and then he couldn't help but reach out for the piece of flying catkins. He didn't want to wake him up when he took it.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Gaokankan woke up and turned away from the baby's lap. His usually clear eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist, and he spoke with a thick nasal voice and his voice was a little hoarse. As he stood up, the half-tied hairpin fell completely, and his black hair instantly fell down and draped over his white clothes. However, when he lay down just now, his temple hair was rubbed a little messy by him. When he looked at it again, he looked completely careless. lazy.
The doll looked at him unblinkingly with moist phoenix eyes. Seeing that he was about to tie up his hair, he raised his hand to tidy up his messy temples. Zhao Gao saw that he was taking care of things seriously and was afraid that he would not have a good image when he went out, so he simply let him do what he did. "alright."
After the doll was tidied up, he tied his hair back. He suddenly became energetic and his eyes regained their former clarity. He was about to ask the doll what happened just now, but the doll gave a brief order: "Xiao Gao, you Close your eyes."
Although Zhao Gao didn't know what he was going to do, he still did it after being stunned for a moment. The doll very carefully took off the flying catkins that he could not take off just now. When he opened his eyes, he told him: "Look, there is something on the eyelashes." Zhao Gao said "hmm" lightly and asked. What I didn’t ask before: “Do you have anything to ask me?”
The baby scratched his head in annoyance, and then he remembered that he had forgotten to ask about something serious, so he held the book in front of Zhao Gao and pointed to one place for him to read. Zhao Gao took a closer look, was a little surprised and then understood. It turned out that the baby was asking about the famous ballad "Yueren Song" of the Chu region. It was only because it told a touching homosexual story that the baby was confused.
"Xiao Gao, do you think Zhuang Xin really likes Mr. Xiang Cheng?" Even two thousand years later, it would be difficult for adults to explain the topic of homosexuality clearly to their children. Many parents even avoided this issue and did not allow their children to ask about it. But Zhao Gao felt that there was no serious harm in speaking out, but hiding it would lead to unpredictable consequences, so he said frankly: "There are trees in the mountains, and the trees have branches, and the heart is happy, but you don't know." Saying such words, I’m afraid it is.”
"It always feels a little weird." The doll was still very confused. Zhao Gao smiled slightly, calmly touched the soft hair on his head and explained: "Actually, I'm not used to it, but it's just one person falling in love with another person. The only difference is that the other person happens to be a man as well. It's not you, but you are worrying about others." At the end of the sentence, Zhao Gao couldn't help but tease him.
The doll thought that it was right. After all, it was not him, so he had nothing to think about. He patted his short legs proudly and readily lent them to Zhao Gao to continue sleeping on, while he picked up the book and worked hard.
A few months passed by, from summer to autumn, when the scorching heat had subsided and I felt cool and comfortable, unexpectedly, a shocking news came from the west: King Qin died. As soon as the news arrived, the scorching heat seemed to have retreated and returned, and the whole world seemed to be set on a fire.
Just because King Qin's dethronement has now closely affected the situation of the world, everyone from all over the world is eagerly watching every move in the west, fearing that they have missed something. However, Lord An Guo, who is currently the crown prince, is still in mourning, and the new king can only ascend the throne after he is out of mourning, so the news of the establishment of a new king has not yet come.
When Zhao Gao received the news, his hand holding the chopsticks froze, and Wang Chong called him several times without noticing. "Little brother, you..." Wang Chong originally wanted to ask him what was wrong, but a childish figure appeared in his mind, and he suddenly felt relieved: "I heard that the foreigner married Mrs. Huayang's eldest sister a few years ago. The daughter is the wife and has given birth to an heir. Now it seems that the position of the foreign prince is secure, so the baby is blessed."
At this time, Zhao Gao had mixed feelings in his heart. On the one hand, he was happy for the baby, but on the other hand, he was worried about him. So he shook his head and murmured: "I'm afraid it may not be a blessing." Wang Chong thought about it and thought the same thing. They, the little officials, are not even alive. For oneself, the fight in the office is even more thrilling. If you are not careful, you may fall into the abyss. Who can be satisfied?
After meal.
As soon as the baby arrived at Langhuan Pavilion, he saw Zhao Gao standing there waiting. When he saw him coming up, he took the initiative to wave to him. In the past, when he arrived, Zhao Gao would almost always be sitting on the ground reading a book. The doll had to actively shake him to get him to notice him and get a sentence: "You're here." What's going on today... Looking at Zhao Gao's serious expression, Wawa felt a little uneasy and hurriedly ran to him in three steps and looked up at him.
"You'd better be mentally prepared these days..." Zhao Gao paused for a moment. Seeing the baby's face full of confusion, he didn't know how to talk about it. After a while, he continued: "I have never mentioned returning to Qin to you before. Well, I guess we will find out soon." Zhao Gao suddenly mentioned that he would return to Qin, and said that his return to Qin was not far away. This caught Wawa unexpectedly, and he immediately froze on the spot and was at a loss.
Looking at his absent-minded look, Zhao Gao also knew that he was too serious today, but it was a helpless move, because it would take some time for the stranger to send someone to pick up their mother and son, and he wanted to take advantage of this time to explain what he had to say. Everything has been explained, and preparations must be made in advance to help the mother and son leave safely. After all, the Zhao State has finally held the grandson of the Qin State in its hands, and will not return it easily.
"You and Agu must be careful at all times these days," Zhao Gao added worriedly. Even though the baby was dumbfounded in front of Zhao Gao, it was actually Zhao Gao who made him let go of all his guard, so he didn't have to think too much. The baby was already very smart, but now that he got serious, he knew what the situation between him and his mother was. The State of Zhao does not want to see their mother and son. If Aweng really remembers their mother and son and sends someone to pick them up, there is no guarantee that the State of Zhao will not interfere with it. The variables involved are indeed unpredictable.
Zhao Gao took out a jade pendant from his arms, held it in his palm and handed it back to the doll. "This is your thing. I'll give it back to you now. I guess you will use it in the future." Once upon a time, the doll gave the jade pendant as a bundle to Zhao Gao. Zhao Gao said he would keep it for him, and he actually helped him keep it. Wawa did not answer, but thought of another serious question: "Xiao Gao, won't you go back with me?"
Zhao Gao looked down at himself and then smiled helplessly. His body is not as strong as a weak one now, but he looks like a teenager. If others knew that when he was thirteen years old, he became the teacher of a five-year-old ignorant boy, what would others think? If you believe it, others may say that he deceives the world, steals his reputation, and teaches bad children; if you don’t believe it, how should he deal with himself?
Moreover, this child has not been tempered enough over the years. If he wants to become the King of Qin, he must go through all the thorns and go through the bloody journey himself. If he cannot bear the bloody storm alone, how can he further become the common man of the world in the future? host? What Zhao Gao could teach in the past five years has been imparted to him almost without reservation, and he really has to rely on himself for the rest. Besides, Zhao Gao also had his own plans after Zhang Xian's incident.
"Azheng, you have to walk the road ahead by yourself. I have already taught you what I can teach you." Zhao Gao rarely called his name when the two of them got along, but this time he called the baby, there was no surprise at all. He lowered his head for a long time. Talk: Over the years, I have relied on Xiao Gao for everything, but I have never and cannot give him anything in return. Since it is my own path, and since it is so dangerous, how can I make him suffer with me again? Only when you become truly strong and have the ability to protect him will you have enough reason to keep him by your side. When these dolls raised their heads again after thinking about it, they were no longer hesitant.
"Then, will Xiao Gao go to Qin in the future?" Wawa looked at him, his eyes filled with enthusiasm and expectation that he had never seen before. Zhao Gao thought about it, raised his hand to touch his head, and promised firmly and simply: "Yes." After saying that, he changed his tone and said teasingly: "Maybe you will have forgotten me by then." Zhao Gao's joke was not only the slightest bit Instead of relaxing the atmosphere, it made the doll a little annoyed.
This was the first time that the baby stared at him so angrily, and even Zhao Gao couldn't react for a while. Just when Zhao Gao was stunned, the doll took his hand and held the jade pendant in his little hand. With an extremely serious expression, he emphasized in a more serious tone: "I will never forget Xiao Gao." After saying this, he felt It was not enough and he added dullly: "So I will always wait for you, waiting for the day you enter Qin."
It wasn't until the baby took the jade pendant and put it in his arms solemnly that Zhao Gao came back to his senses and suddenly felt that his heart was filled to the brim with something. When I thought about the two of them being separated soon, I couldn't help but feel a sense of compassion in my heart.
