After feeding the exiled criminals, she was forced to reveal herself

Chapter 218: Is the unkindness of the visitor inherited from the ancestors?

"For so many years in Beijing, even the palace has never seen this kind of tribute. It would be great if it could be grown."

"Strawberries are so delicious, how can they be so sweet?"

Seeing that everyone's ideas were similar to hers, Zhang's mother said with relief: "I just looked carefully and saw that there were little pits on the pulp of the strawberry, one by one. I guess they should be the seeds of the strawberry. ?”

"Yes, I saw it too, it should be!"

Mrs. Xie looked at Mrs. Zhang, waiting for her next words.

Zhang's mother did not cover up, moved her body to avoid the people outside, carefully took out one from the paper bag, displayed it in front of several people, pointed to the seeds one by one, and whispered: "I'm here I wonder if these things are strawberry seeds. Can I keep these things and try to plant them when the spring gets warmer next year when I get to Liaozhou safely? "

After saying that, he raised his eyes and looked at everyone.

He received several looks of admiration.

After a short silence, Xie Zhen took the lead to break the silence and said proactively: "Mrs. Zhang, if you don't mind, can Zhen'er help you get the fruit seeds?"

If there is one, there will be two. The other female relatives nodded, "I'll come too. I have embroidery needles there. You can pick them out gently."

far away.

The men are very curious about what the women are talking about.

Xie Yuchuan looked at Xie Wuying beside him, who waved his hands repeatedly, "I really don't know!"

Zhang Dayi was placing the pebbles at the intersection of the two lines and said without raising his head: "Women have their own opinions among women. As men, we should guess less and ponder less. When we are needed, go to work." That’s it.”

Xie Yuchuan looked back at the old gentleman, pondered for a moment, then lowered his head and placed another one on his head, "Is this your experience?"

Zhang Dayi followed closely, raised his eyes to look over there, turned around and said with a smile: "The young general is not married yet, so the relationship between men and women is not clear yet. When the young general has someone he likes in the future, it will become clear as time goes by."

Xie Yuchuan's eyes darkened and he didn't say anything.

Xie Wuying, who was lying on his side next to the two of them with a piece of grass in his mouth watching the two playing "chess", heard this and raised his head casually, temporarily pulled out the hay from his mouth, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and he laughed. He made a sound and took the grass back into his mouth again.

Xie Wenjie sat quietly behind Xie Wuying and read silently. With a learned man like Zhang Hanlin by his side, just mentioning him a word or two would be enough for him to think about it for several days. Although he no longer thought about the imperial examination unconditionally, learning is useless. There is no limit to the limitless sea of ​​books. As a Confucian student, he seizes the day and night.

Zhang Dayi liked Xie Wenjie's academic attitude very much. He glanced at it from time to time while playing chess, with a look of satisfied admiration in his eyes.

"The Xie family's reputation is well-deserved."

A black stone fell to the ground, and Xie Yuchuan's faint voice came from above his head: "We won."

Zhang Dayi: "..."

Xie Yuchuan's tradition of respecting the elderly and loving the young still needs to be improved.

Xiong Jiushan held a waist knife and swept it over the heads of a group of prisoners. Then he looked at the army in front of him that had not yet finished marching. He felt very impatient. How long would it take?
Cheng Ye and the leading old government officials accompanied him: "Sir, if things are not going well in Panlong Ridge ahead, should we go and ask if we can follow the army?"

Several old government officials all looked at Xiong Jiushan. They also felt that it would be safer to follow the large army.

Xiong Jiushan looked forward coldly and remained silent for a long time, until Cheng Ye mentioned it again. He raised his chin to signal everyone to look forward.

"The characters on the flag are so big, are they blind?"

Several people looked forward with puzzled expressions. They had seen it a long time ago. What happened to the words on the flag?
Cheng Ye fixed his eyes and saw a huge chess piece with the word "Qiu" flying in the wind among the soldiers.

After pondering for a while, he turned around and looked at the back of the crowd of prisoners, where the Xie family was, his eyes narrowed, and he seemed to understand something.

He pointed to the back of several old government officials. Everyone looked back after seeing the Xie family, and there was understanding in each other's eyes.

Xiong Jiushan said in a deep voice: "The Protector's Mansion was raided by the Qiu family. They didn't come to trouble us when they passed by, so they all burned incense. I still want to move forward." He turned his head and glanced at the few people coldly, " Have you had enough?"

Several people lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word.

After a while, Cheng Ye said, "Sir, are we just going to wait like this?"

"Just wait, we'll catch up again in the evening." After waiting for more than half a day, it was obvious that the temperature began to drop rapidly, and we finally waited until the army crossed the border.

There was a clang of gongs!

"Get up! Don't lie down! Let's set off!" the military officer said from head to back.

After finishing packing up the exile team, Xiong Jiushan ordered them to wait for a while longer. After they had roughly put some distance between themselves and the army in front, he ordered them to get on the shackles and hurry up.

Xiong Jiushan thought about having less trouble, but unfortunately, the more he worried about something, the more he would worry about it.

Just as we were about to set off, two fast horses suddenly flew back from the front, carrying bags on their backs. They arrived in front of the exile team, pulled the reins, and stopped in front of Xiong Jiushan.

Xiong Jiushan frowned and thought, not good.

Above their heads, there are two flying cavalry captains who don't talk much.

"But he was the one who escorted the prisoners of the Xie family in the former Protector's Palace?"

Xiong Jiushan gritted his teeth and said, "Exactly."

The two armor captains looked at each other with cold expressions. Without getting off their horses, they directly threw the two sacks knotted behind them in front of Xiong Jiushan.

The heavy object fell to the ground with a bang, creating two shallow craters.

The escorting officers and the haggard prisoners in front were all stunned.

"This is General Qiu's private food, given to the Xie family. The general has something to say. It's a pity that the Xie family has a difficult life. They can't bear to be old, weak and miserable, and they are short of money. These things are a little thoughtful. I hope that the Xie family can be blessed and prosperous, and arrive safely in their home. state."

After saying that, he turned the horse's head and left.

Xiong Jiushan lowered his head and looked at the two bags of food on the ground. He could already imagine what the reaction would be like if these things were handed over to the Xie family.

This Qiu family is really...

If you don't know anything else, is the ability to respond to others inherited from your ancestors?

"Sir, this?"

"Send it to the Xie family."

The officer came forward to check and was very surprised: "It's all food, sir!"

"Give it to them." Xiong Jiushan said solemnly.

I have never seen a prisoner who was "given gifts" all the way to exile.

The two officers carried the things to Xie Yuchuan, and then came back to report the news.

What surprised Xiong Jiushan was that Xie Yuchuan was very calm after seeing the things and hearing the captain's words.

Xie Yuchuan looked calm, but the other Xie family members were not like this.

"This bunch of thieves from the Qiu family are used to doing such disgusting things!"

Xie Yuchuan looked at the food on the ground with a faint look, and said to Xie Wuying: "Go and give it to Master Xiong. It is all food. As long as it is not wasted, everyone can enjoy it."

"Okay!" Xie Wuying did this job happily.

Xie Yuchuan's words are indeed correct. Food is food, no matter who gives it.

The guards were very happy.

　There is still one more chapter, so don’t wait if you are sleepy.
