"Drive! Drive! Giggle, giggle~~Mom, come after me!"
"Girl, don't pull my hair!"
In the afternoon, in the yard outside the study room in the inner courtyard, a little girl with pink and jade sculptures was riding on Zhao Xin's neck. Zhao Xin's hands were tightly holding the child's legs. As his steps quickened and slowed, his body The shape fluctuated up and down, and the little girl burst into laughter from time to time.
This child has a fair and rosy face, tender and tender, with two dimples; a pair of big eyes like two black gems, clear and bright; lips are pink and full, and they will reveal their whiteness when smiling Little teeth. She is the daughter of Zhao Xin and Tang Xiao, Zhao Lin, who is almost three years old this year.
Zhao Xin now has two sons and one daughter. Both sons were born to Shen Xuan. The eldest son is called Zhao Hao, the second son is called Zhao Sheng, and this is the daughter. Shen Xuan was pregnant again a few days ago, and so was Wang Zhenyi. In addition, There was also movement in the belly of an old girl.
Well, in order to have more reasons to intervene in Europe in the future, Zhao Xin thought about it and finally took the most substantial step in the relationship between men and women, with Princess Elizabeth.
In terms of blood relationship, the unborn child, whether male or female, has the blood of the Bourbon family, so whether it is France, Spain or Italy, he or she will be eligible to have a role in the future.
Under the corridor, Tang Xiao, who was wearing a mother-of-pearl white silk jacket and a sapphire blue brocade horse-faced skirt, had a smile on her face and looked at the father and daughter playing around with a gentle look on her face. She thought to herself that if life goes on like this, it will be terrible. How wonderful. Two weeks passed by like a flash, and when I thought that Zhao Xin would be leaving tomorrow, a few rays of melancholy also surfaced.
But she also understands that since she has decided to follow this person, this is the result. Forget about her, Shen Xuan, Wang Zhenyi and A Miao don't have much time with Zhao Xin throughout the year. For her, the most important thing now is The most important thing is to get pregnant again. Shen Xuan has already given birth to two sons.
Although Zhao Xin regards Zhao Lin as a treasure, Tang Xiao knows that no matter how good her daughter is, sooner or later she will belong to someone else's family, and her son is the one she can rely on in the future. It is said that Tang Xiao has studied Ming Li since he was a child, and has accepted it in Beihai Town over the years. There are many new concepts that a highly educated woman in this time and space should be able to understand. However, her ups and downs in childhood taught her that if a woman does not have a son, there will be no place for a man to cry if something unexpected happens to him.
After dinner in the evening, Zhao Xin accompanied Tang Xiao and his daughter to play cards in the flower hall. Unexpectedly, the head guard Chai Rugui sent several urgent telegrams, so he had to go to the study to deal with them. By the time he finished his work and returned to the backyard, it was already late at night, and his daughter She had already fallen asleep, and the nanny was watching over her.
When Tang Xiao gave birth to Zhao Lin, she was just twenty, and there were no elders around her, so she didn’t know how to take care of a child. Not to mention her sisters, all of whom looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and didn’t even know how to change diapers. .As for Chen Qingsong’s wife Qing He, she is already the “prime minister’s wife” and she doesn’t want to get involved in this kind of thing at all.
Fortunately, when A Miao found out about it, she asked Wan Zao's wife to hire a nanny to take care of her at the hospital. The nanny was a widow, a nice person, and she especially didn't like to talk. Her husband used to work in a military factory, and he died in an accident. The next family is a family of three. The nanny's son and daughter are both grown up. They are studying in a boarding school in Fuldan City. She has nothing to do, and she has feelings for Zhao Lin, so she comes to Boli. Tang Xiao himself is a miserable person. She didn't look down on the nanny at all, so she simply accepted her as her sister.
Seeing Zhao Xin come back, Tang Xiao, who was sleeping on the bedside, sat up, brushed his hair, got up and poured him foot-washing water, brought him a bowl of ginseng soup, and then moved a small stool to sit on it.
Opposite me, I was washing my feet and squeezing my legs with hot water. Everyone likes to enjoy being an uncle, and Zhao Xin is no exception.
However, he really didn’t come to Khabarovsk to enjoy the blessings. In the two weeks, in addition to inspecting the steel plant and railway, he also took a special boat trip to Trinshiji, where he paid homage to the Yongning Monument again, and when he came back, he also stopped by Bar.
Gram Village.
At first glance, today's lower reaches of the Hun Tong River seem to be no different from the past. On the river in the golden autumn, the Hezhe people's fast-drawn boats are still coming and going, and the fishermen are catching migratory salmon, sturgeon and catfish to their heart's content.
, the loud imakan will also sound from time to time on the shore or on the river.
However, many things are different from the past. Deleng'en Wooden City, which prospered due to the "Gong Mink Appreciation of Wulin", has long been abandoned. Temple Street, located on the north bank of the entrance to the Hun Tong River, has also changed from a small village to a village with thousands of residents.
Town. Whenever the river thaws in the spring, there will be a boatload of coal, wood and fur mined from the northwest of Kuye Island. They will arrive at the cargo yard here by sea ship, and then change to a river boat and go straight to Khabarovsk along the Hundong River.
.
In addition, Temple Street Town is also the main fish processing base in Beihai Town. One-third of the canned fish eaten by Beihai Navy is initially processed in the town's factory and then transported to the cannery in Fuldan City.
.
On Temple Street and in Balk Village, Zhao Xin saw the steady happiness on the faces of the Hezhen people who were increasingly prosperous. Now, in addition to fishing and logging, they also regularly bring various handmade crafts to Khabarovsk
Go and sell fish skin clothes, fish skin boots, fish bone necklaces, mink hats, roe deer skin gloves, etc.
As for the Feyaka people on Bitter Leaf Island, they no longer have to travel all the way inland to do business. Oha Town in the north and Dabo Town in the south are both densely populated. If it is still too far, then go
You can also exchange the daily necessities you want at the two coal mines in the west.
Because Liu Sheng was the son-in-law of the Hezhe people, because Zhao Xin avenged Wukanbei, and because Zhao Xin was regarded as a god by the Kuye Feyaka people, there were almost a thousand Hezhe and Feyaka people in these years.
People joined the Northern Navy.
They followed Zhao Xin north to Siberia, followed Liu Sheng and Fan Tong west to Mongolia and even the Tianshan Mountains, followed Wang Yuanfang and Deng Fei south to Java, followed Ding Guofeng to the South Asian continent, and some even followed Lu Qi to the distant Kinmen.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In today's outer Northeast, language is no longer a barrier for young people of all ethnic groups. The old people in the civil affairs and education department spent eight years
, trained hundreds of young teachers who can speak fluent Mandarin, and successively opened more than 50 junior schools with food and accommodation, covering almost all children of school age.
Furthermore, as the agricultural product trading market in Khabarovsk becomes larger and larger, the border residents who often come here to trade have to learn a few words, otherwise they will not even be able to do business.
Faced with all this, Zhao Xin felt sincerely gratified. He felt that he and his companions had struggled for ten years to defend and change this land that was lost forever in another time and space. The mountains and rivers were safe, and the world was safe. From this, he also
In front of the Yongning Monument, I proudly comfort God that I have lived up to my original aspirations.
But there was something he had to solve. Among the telegrams Chai Rugui sent before, one of them was related to Tang Xiao. So when Tang Xiao went out and poured out the foot wash, he washed his hands again, and was about to turn off the light and go to bed.
, Zhao Xin, who had been thinking about his words for a long time, finally spoke.
"I have to tell you something."
"Um?"
"Your mother...has been found. I asked people from the Cao Gang to help investigate."
"..." Tang Xiao was stunned for a moment. She raised her head and stared at Zhao Xin in disbelief. After a while, her eyes were full of tears, which made people feel distressed. After a while, she trembled.
He sobbed loudly: "Really? Where is she?"
Zhao Xin quickly held her in his arms, stroked her hair and said softly: "She remarried and is now in a village in the countryside of Yancheng. If you want to see her..."
"No! If she had cared about me, she wouldn't have sold me to a human being." The more Tang Xiao thought about it, the more miserable she became. She was trembling with sobs, like pear blossoms with rain. If she hadn't been afraid of waking up the children in the east room, she would have wanted to
It's better to cry loudly.
Zhao Xin sighed, kissed her forehead, and advised: "There's nothing we can do about it. Can she still beg for food with you for the rest of her life? Besides, there are always good and bad sides to everything. If you hadn't gone to Yangzhou, we would have
We couldn't see each other anymore. What should I do if I can't find you?"
"Fuck you." Tang Xiao burst into laughter, lightly slapped Zhao Xin, and asked curiously: "How did you find it? I can't even remember what happened when I was a child."
Zhao Xin looked proud and joked: "Me, I was fished out of the sea. If I want to do something, the Sea Dragon King has to give me face."
It is said that the reason why Tang Xiao became a "skinny horse" for sale at any time was because her father died of a sudden illness when she was three years old. Since his parents only had a daughter, Tang Xiao, and no son, disaster struck.
.
As soon as his father was buried, everyone in the clan started a feast of "eating every household". Several elders came forward to preside over the sale of the Tang Xiao family's property, and then the banquet was held for more than a month. All the clan members with the surname Tang came to eat, one by one.
Their faces were full of oil. However, no one cared about Tang Xiao's mother and daughter in the following days. They even tried to borrow a straw hut at a relative's house but were kicked out. Tang Xiao's mother was forced to beg with her all the way.
The mother and daughter met a man when they were begging in Danyang. Tang Xiao's mother couldn't bear that her daughter would suffer any more, so she sold her for five ounces of money. From then on, Tang Xiao never saw her mother again.
A few years ago, Zhao Xin decided to accept Tang Xiaoxiao, and finally learned about her life experience, so he started to think about finding her mother. The problem was that more than ten years had passed, and the family that raised Tang Xiaoxiao had also been killed by Zhao Xin.
Xin and the others were killed, but Tang Xiao only had a hairpin left by her mother. She couldn't even remember where her hometown was or where her mother was from, so it was really difficult to check.
The Intelligence Bureau, the Ministry of Trade, the Cao Gang, and even Mr. Huang from "Huang Shengtai" all helped in the investigation. It was really like looking for a needle in a haystack. In the end, it was Huang Shengtai who was a new member of the branch in Gui'an County, Huzhou Prefecture a few months ago.
The hired man provided clues. According to the old man in his family, a village outside the city had suffered an extermination more than ten years ago, and the family's surname was Tang.
Afterwards, the people from the Caobang secretly investigated and found that many things matched Tang Xiao's vague memory, and then they were sure that they had found the right one. So the people from the Caobang used their connections to establish friendship with the Tang clan members, and when the situation was almost settled,
Through drinking and talking, I learned that Tang Xiao's mother was from a family named Qian in Changxing.
Changxing is located more than fifty miles northwest of Huzhou and is also on the edge of Taihu Lake, which saves trouble. When I found Tang Xiao's grandfather's house, he took out the paper with the hairpin pattern and asked, and it turned out to be true. After asking again, Tang
The young mother did write letters to her family, but she had remarried and was living in Yancheng.
Of course, the people who came to the door would not say that Tang Xiao was in Beihai Town. They only said that she was adopted as an adopted daughter by the owner of "Huang Shengtai". They came to find relatives because they were entrusted by the owner and gave her to the Qian family - that is, Tang
The younger uncle has five taels of silver.
"So, have you met my mother? How is she...?" After more than ten years, the mother in Tang Xiaoxiao's mind has become a blurry shadow.
"The people from the Caobang didn't meet her directly, but they asked about it from the villagers. Her current husband's surname is Li. He shares several acres of land and has four children, a daughter and three sons. The eldest married off when he was fourteen.
, the second child is about to start a family, and the other two are still young and belong to ordinary families."
Zhao Xin did not dare to say that Tang Xiao’s mother was living in poverty and that the person she married was a bastard, for fear that she would be sad. When the person who went to look for him learned about the situation, he came to visit, pretending that it was Changxing’s mother’s family who asked him to send her two
Hanging money. Unexpectedly, the man surnamed Li didn't ask any questions. He took the money with his front foot and gambled with his back foot. He lost nothing.
"Oh." Tang Xiao thought that those should be his younger siblings.
Don't blame her for changing her mind so quickly. One second she was in great pain, and the next second she recognized her relatives. You must know that among Zhao Xin's several women, Tang Xiao is the most helpless. She doesn't have someone behind her back.
Shen Xuan and Wang Zhenyi of the family are not A Miao, who is backed by thousands of naturalized people from the island country, and they are not the French princess. She can't count on anyone except Zhao Xin and her daughter.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing that Tang Xiao was silent, Zhao Xin said casually: "If you want to see her, I'll have someone take her over. There's no point in thinking wildly."
"let me think again."
The unexpected news made Tang Xiao feel confused and no longer sleepy. All kinds of thoughts came one after another. He thought about entering the capital and taking his daughter with him, helpless.
How to stand up?
My mother sold herself back then, but there was no way she could survive. As Zhao Xin said, could she still take her to earn a living for the rest of her life? Besides, if not, how could she have met Zhao in Yangzhou?
Xin? When the two of them met for the first time, this smelly man had a naughty smile and an air of being rich, so I fell in love with him at first sight.
When he kidnapped Ren Ya from his home that night, I thought he was a bandit mountain king, but who would have thought that he actually wanted to rebel and become the emperor. Why did I endure the pain and beg Hong Tao to let him go? He was just a man. Not willing to give in, how can I be worse than Shen Xuan in my ability to serve people with chess, calligraphy and painting? Is it still a sin to be young?
Alas, it will be troublesome to enter the capital in the future. When you become an emperor and have to do many national affairs every day, you may not have more time to spend with yourself than you do now. Look at how many people you can see in a year, running around and leading troops to fight in these years. Next time? I said before that the four of them would be enough, but in the end, I provoked a barbarian princess, who is over thirty years old. It’s a shame that woman has the nerve to do this... It’s really unbelievable how men behave like this. ...I fell asleep while thinking wildly.
Zhao Xin didn't know that not only was the woman next to him unable to sleep well that night, but there was also a woman thousands of miles away from him who couldn't sleep because of him. But unlike Tang Xiao, who was attached to him, that woman hated him. I hate it to death.
