Feng Qing Shaoyi

Chapter 211 That Little Boy

"Little guy, you are not as cute as before."

before?Looking at the smiling eyes of the man opposite, Qi Ze was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he slowly said: "It's you."

The man on the opposite side immediately nodded with a smile, flicked the woman's forehead with his finger, nodded slightly, and said softly, "You finally remembered, right? You crybaby."

Yes, she remembered, and remembered that it was when she was very young.At that time, my mother seemed to be still alive, but she was running around like a little naughty, getting dirty all over.

At that time, there seemed to be an annoying little boy with a nasty and frivolous smile on his face. He hit her head with a pebble at the first meeting, just like he flicked his fingers on her forehead now. people hate.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, return Mo Yu to me, it was left to Shao Yi by Daddy."

A very delicate-looking, very short little boy was trying to stand on tiptoe, stretched out his arms and shouted at the two little boys who had obviously started to grow taller in front of him, with a childish voice.

In front of the two of them, this short little boy looked like a young child who had not yet grown up. He looked extremely thin, and his height only reached the chest of the two of them.

Even if the little boy tried his best to tiptoe and stretched his arms as far as possible, he couldn't reach the deep black jade that was lifted high into the sky.

The little boy holding Moyu high up has very handsome facial features, and he threw the book in the other hand aside in disgust. Together with a little boy with a gentle and jade-like appearance, it was as boring as if he had discovered something interesting. He fooled the little boy who was trying to stretch his arms to reach Moyu.

"Qi Ze, do you want this piece of black jade very much? This young master won't give it to you." With a smug smile on his face when he was a child, Qi Zhe bullied the little Qi Ze, "You are so short, With such a pretty face, she can't be a sissy."

"Shao Yi is a boy, not a sissy." The little boy retorted immediately, and then continued to reach Mo Yu who was about to be reached.

It's a pity that Qi Zhe put Mo Yu behind him as soon as he turned around, and said mockingly: "Aren't you a sissy? You can't even reach this piece of jade, and you are always crying like a little girl." Yes. This young master told you that even my mother's personal maid is not as handsome as you. If you wear women's clothing, you will definitely look better than the oiran in Yijun Tower."

The little Qi Ze seemed to be insulted, and he retorted loudly to Qi Zhe: "Nonsense, Shao Yi is not a sissy, Shao Yi is a man who stands up to the sky, this is what Daddy told Shao Yi."

"Your father said?" Qi Zhe laughed as if he had heard some joke, "Don't you know? Your father is dead. Just today, grandfather and uncle were discussing this matter in the study, and I happened to come from I passed by the door and heard everything. Your father is indeed dead."

Even though it sounded like a child's joke, I don't know if it's true or not, but it made people's heart tremble violently, and made little Qi Ze stunned in place.

"Heh, if you don't believe me, you can ask anyone in the capital. The people of Southern Chu all know that Hussar General Qi Yun died on the battlefield when he fought with Beishuo's army. This news is absolutely true." Qi Zhe seemed to be afraid that Qi Ze would not believe him, so he added an explanation.

At this time, Qi Ze was still young, and had no knowledge of death at all, and didn't understand what Qi Yun's death represented.All he knew was that his father had gone to war and hadn't come back yet. He thought that his father had just left for a long trip and would be back soon.

"Who said, Daddy is not dead, and he will come back to see Shaoyi soon." The young boy replied very stubbornly.

"You can't help but believe it. Your father was fighting against the Beishuo army, but he was defeated and committed suicide in the end." Qi Zhe's voice was full of sarcasm, "A general does not fight the enemy to the end, but commits suicide because of failure. Your father is a A deserter, a coward."

Although he didn't understand what coward means, seeing Qi Zhe's face full of sarcasm, Qi Ze also knew that this was not a good word, so he scolded angrily in a childish voice: "You are not allowed to say that My dad."

"My young master just said that, what can you do to me? Take back the jade your father left you if you have the ability, come on, sissy." Qi Zhe lifted the jade high into the sky again, arrogantly provoking Said.

"You..." Little Qi Ze immediately stretched out his arms and went forward to snatch it, "Give me back the jade."

"Cut, little man." Qi Zhe scolded disdainfully, and then threw the jade to Qi Chen beside him, "Brother, go on."

After Qi Chen took the jade, seeing Qi Ze come forward to snatch it, he laughed jokingly, and threw the jade to Qi Zhe again.Qi Ze could only go to Qi Zhe to grab it again.Just like that, the two passed back and forth as if they were fooling people, so that little Qi Ze could only helplessly stretch his arms back and forth, speaking powerless words.

"Give me back the jade."

After throwing it back and forth for a while, the two of them seemed to be bored.When the jade was thrown into Qi Zhe's hands, Qi Zhe held the jade in front of Qi Ze to lure him, and talked about the conditions: "You can want this piece of jade, as long as you admit that you are a sissy, I will give you the jade." How about jade for you?"

"Shao Yi is an upright man, not a sissy." The little boy retorted without thinking.

"Cut, you are a man standing up to the sky? Who would believe that." Before he finished speaking, Qi Zhe felt Qi Chen poking his back with his finger, and pointing his other finger at the bushes not far away.

Qi Zhe took advantage of the opportunity to take a closer look, and saw a green, fluffy bug on the leaves of the bushes.The two looked at each other and understood what it meant.

"Hey, sissy, didn't you say that you are an upright man? Men are not afraid of bugs, so are you afraid of this bug?" Qi Zhe picked up the bug on the leaf and held it close to Qi Ze, The posture should be placed on Qi Ze's body.

Qi Ze took a few steps back with a terrified expression, his body became unsteady and he fell to the ground. Looking at the little caterpillar that was getting closer, his small body huddled together, his hands crossed and hugged his trembling shoulders, the corners of his eyes became hot, and he lowered his eyes. He sobbed loudly, and tears began to well up in the corners of his eyes.

Tears welling up quickly swirled in the eye sockets, about to slide down the corners of the eyes.

"Hahaha--"

Seeing such a timid Qi Ze, Qi Zhe couldn't help laughing, which also satisfied Qi Chen and Qi Zhe's desire to play tricks.

"Sissy, you're finally going to cry. Haha." Qi Zhe tried his best to hold back his laughter, and laughed, "So you're not just a sissy, you're also a sissy who is afraid of bugs. Hahaha, I laughed so hard .”

Seeing this, the two had had enough fun, and threw Yu into Qi Ze's arms.

"I'll give it back to you, sissy, don't cry when you see bugs in the future. Haha." The two smiled and walked away, leaving behind the little boy who was about to cry in fear.

"Shao Yi? Is it Shao Yi?" A gentle and quiet female voice came from the side.

I saw a beautiful woman with an extremely dignified and gentle appearance standing in front of the flowers, her curly willow-leaf eyebrows were indistinctly black, her eyes contained tender spring water, clear waves of hope, her face was like a hibiscus, her soft black hair hung down to her waist, and her hair hung down between her temples Only the jasper hairpins are inserted obliquely, and the long skirt drags the floor, which seems to be tainted with the fragrance of flowers. Suddenly, the flowers behind have become a foil, making people nostalgic.

"Mother." The little boy seemed to have found a warm haven where he could return. He picked up the black jade in his arms, half-crawled to his feet, and took small steps to throw it into the woman's arms.

"What's the matter? Why are you crying like this? Your face is dirty." The gentle woman knelt down slowly, gently wiped away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes, and softly ordered to the delicate maid beside her: "Siyun, Go get the handkerchief."

"Yes, miss." Qingxiu's servant girl quickly brought a handkerchief and handed it to the woman.

Tao Zhixi folded the handkerchief, and gently wiped the little boy's face, "Shao Yi is an upright man, you can't cry easily, you know?"

"Shao Yi knows." Qi Ze answered with a sob and bowed his head, and then said stubbornly: "Shao Yi didn't cry just now, that's why Shao Yi didn't cry, it's just that the bug is too annoying."

"Pfft——" Tao Zhixi couldn't help laughing softly, "Shaoyi is very afraid of bugs, right? Come on, mother will teach you a way, after that Shaoyi will no longer be afraid of bugs."

The dignified and gentle woman took the little boy's hand, and walked back to the room of Fusheng Pavilion step by step, walked to the desk, picked up a piece of rice paper, and folded a paper frog skillfully with her fingers.

"Quack--" The woman tapped her finger lightly, and the paper frog jumped in front of the little boy.Qi Ze couldn't help but smile slightly at this childlike paper frog. He carefully picked up the paper frog on the desk with both hands, and a woman's soft, comforting yet mischievous voice sounded in his ears.

"The frogs eat all the bugs, so no bugs will dare to come to Shaoyi's side."

The little Qi Ze looked up at his gentle mother's smiling eyes for a while, and asked curiously: "Mother, what is a coward?" Then he lowered his head slightly and explained, "Second brother said that father committed suicide after defeating the army." , is a coward. They all said that Daddy is dead, what does it mean to be dead? Does it mean that you can’t come back?”

Facing the little boy's serious questioning, the woman was momentarily stunned, her eyes widened, tears fell silently, "Shaoyi..."

While Xiao Qi Ze was looking down at the paper frog in his hand, he didn't realize that the woman had already burst into tears, and was looking at her with distress and despair, full of reluctance.

Siyun saw Tao Zhixi who was crying like rain, then looked at Little Qi Ze who was lowering his head, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Third Young Master, Madam is a little tired and needs to rest, why not Third Young Master go out to play for a while, After the madam has rested, come and accompany the third young master, okay?"

"Mother is tired? Are you sick?" The little Qi Ze was very sensible, and asked Tao Zhixi who had already turned his head.

"Yes... I'm sick. Madam hasn't slept well recently, and she's not in good spirits. When she regains her energy, she will play with the third young master." There was a forced smile on the corner of Siyun's mouth, and his eyes tried to hide the grief in it Gray replied.

Little Qi Ze glanced at the gentle woman who was covering her face with her sleeves, and nodded obediently, "Okay, I'll go out to play now, and don't disturb my mother's rest." After finishing speaking, he took the paper frog in his hand together out.

The two people in the room looked at the little leaving back, weeping uncontrollably.

"Miss, do you really want to do this? If you die, what will the little lady do? She is only three years old now." Siyun finally couldn't help shedding tears, looking at Tao who had already shed tears and had red eye circles Zhixi asked.

But Tao Zhixi was unexpectedly calm, not at all afraid of death, but looked at Qi Ze who was playing with paper frogs outside the house reluctantly, and said in a sad tone: "But now I have no other choice, for Shao Yi to grow up As an adult, I have to do this. Only Shaoyi is left as a clue, and the entire Qi family, including the Nanchu royal family, must take care of her to grow up, so that Shaoyi can survive."

"But……"

"Okay, Siyun, you don't need to persuade me anymore. Shaoyi is Zizhou and my child, I can't let Shaoyi die. This is the best way, and the only thing I can do for Shaoyi." Tao Zhixi's eyes were calm and sad, "Listen to me, bring the medicine bowl, paper and pen, and then follow my arrangement to escape from the Qi family and wait for Shaoyi to find you in the future. You are just a maid, the Qi family does not I will notice you, before the Qi family sends anyone over, you have to escape with the letter as soon as possible. Do you understand?"

Tao Zhixi held Siyun's arms tightly, as if using all her strength, her voice was hoarse, Siyun could only cry and nod her head, and followed the order to bring the things up.

Looking at the things already prepared on the table, and taking a last look at little Qi Ze outside the house, Tao Zhixi's eyes were full of tenderness, she wiped away her tears, then suddenly laughed out loud, and said tenderly and dotingly: "Really, I love to cry so much." , always worrying my father and mother, you little debt collector, remember not to cry in the future." Then the voice was soft and barely visible, "If you want to cry, you have to cry like an ordinary girl, remember."

As the tears in the woman's eyes slid down her cheeks, the woman had made all decisions in her heart.

Little Qi Ze outside the house was squatting on the steps playing with paper frogs, maybe he was tired of playing, so he sat on the steps and looked at the unblooming flowers in the Fusheng Pavilion, frowned slightly and tilted his head: "It's really strange, this year's Fusheng Pavilion The flowers haven’t bloomed.” Then he put his hands on his chin and said slightly depressed: “It will bloom before, why didn’t it bloom this year?”

Suddenly a gust of wind blew past, blowing the paper frog beside him into the air. By the time Qi Ze reacted and wanted to catch it, it was too late, so he could only stand on the steps and watch the paper frog drift away.

At this time, the sound of the medicine bowl being smashed and Siyun's uncontrollable crying suddenly sounded in the room.

Even though Qi Ze was young, he still felt that something was wrong, his heart was inexplicably empty, and he vaguely understood that something serious had happened.

Tears gushed out of the corners of his eyes uncontrollably, and the panic in his heart was completely filled. He wanted to lift his feet and walk into the house to check, but he also lost his strength.

"Shao Yi is a man, you can't cry." The little boy wiped the tears on his face with his arm, resisted the inexplicable panic in his heart, turned around and walked to the gate of the house, sat on the threshold and wanted to wait for his father to return.

But after waiting for a long time, his father did not come back, which made Xiao Qi Ze lose his mind for a moment, leaning his head on the edge of the door in a daze.

At this moment, an annoying pebble slammed over, and at the same time, a young boy in a purple brocade robe walked slowly, with gorgeous eyes, flirtatious, and lazily said in a frivolous tone with his arms crossed : "Huh? A little boy? Hey, little guy, why don't you go to your parents, what are you doing sitting here?"

And the little boy sitting on the threshold seemed to finally be unable to bear it anymore. All the grievances accumulated together, and he pursed his mouth as if he had finally found a vent.

"Woooo, daddy is gone, mother is sick, you all bully me."

Little Qi Ze burst into tears suddenly without warning, which made the little boy in purple dazed, "Hey, I just hit you with a pebble and asked about your parents, why are you crying?"

But little Qi Ze who was sitting on the threshold didn't pay any attention to the young boy's questioning, still crying with his mouth flattened.This made the little boy a little flustered. He didn't expect that he just smashed it casually, and even made him cry.

"Hey, little guy, you are a boy, a man, why are you crying?" said the little boy in purple with a slightly impatient voice.

These words didn't make Qi Ze stop crying, on the contrary, he cried more and more fiercely.The little boy couldn't help it, he could only sigh and think of a way to coax him.

Suddenly seeing a hawker selling candied haws by the side of the road, the young boy went to the hawker without thinking and bought a bunch of candied haws, then walked up to Xiao Qi Ze, and handed the candied haws in his hand, "Here, For you, don't cry."

But Xiao Qi Ze just looked at the bunch of candied haws, then continued to cry, without reaching out to take it.Seeing that the little guy didn't answer the call, but kept crying, this made little Queyu a little irritable, and his actions became rude.

"I told you this is for you, so you can take it if you want it." As he said, he stuffed the candied haws into Xiao Qi Ze's hands, "Little guy, if you took my things, then you Just listen to me. I am ordering you now, don't cry, it's annoying to hear."

Perhaps these words had an effect, Xiao Qi Ze really stopped crying, looked at the purple-clothed boy on the opposite side quietly for a long while, then pursed his mouth and said aggrievedly: "You are fierce to me." Then Then continue to cry.

The little boy had never seen anything like this before, and he had never cried in front of him before, so he could only bend down slightly helplessly and said, "Then how can you stop crying? As long as you don't cry, I won't kill you. "

But Xiao Qi Ze didn't seem to have heard these words, and was still crying with his eyes closed, and his crying became louder and louder.

Because people are made to cry by themselves, the young boy also felt a little sorry.Carefully turned his head and looked around, and found that no one was looking this way, so he squatted down to be at the same level as Xiao Qi Ze's eyes, and sighed slightly: "Then let me hug you? Don't cry."

Then, he hugged the little boy who was crying in front of him with a slightly stiff movement, and patted his back gently to coax the little boy to stop crying gradually.

Originally, Que Yu couldn't remember this incident, but because at that time, little Qi Ze had a piece of Mo Yu on him.Because of that deep color, it left an impression on Que Yu.

When he saw that piece of Mo Yu again later, Que Yu gradually remembered what happened back then.

Regarding this matter, Que Yu didn't know what he was thinking at the time.Why would he pick up a small stone and throw it at the opponent?Maybe it was because Qi Ze's eyes were blank at that time, sitting alone on the threshold, as if he was waiting for someone.

He was on a whim, or he wanted the little guy to go home to find his parents, so he stopped waiting at the door.

Looking at the woman in front of him who was still crying in his arms, crying as much as before, the corners of Que Yu's mouth curled up, his voice frivolous and helpless.

"Qi Shaoyi, you are truly my king's fate!"
