blue bird song

Chapter 17
Deng Qi was a little embarrassed, "Girl, I knew her when we urinated, and we grew up together."

"I see." Qing Que nodded like a grown-up.

The little girl in front of her was so much like the beautiful woman she had longed for, Deng Qi couldn't help reaching out to caress her little face.She frowned in disgust, but she didn't knock off his hand like last time.

Deng Qi trembled slightly, and slowly took the little girl into his arms.The little girl struggled for a while, but when she saw the pleading in his eyes, her heart softened and she didn't break free.

The father and daughter cuddled quietly.

A gust of cold wind blew by, the little girl shrank, Deng Qi felt distressed and hugged her even tighter.

"Girl, your mother doesn't want us anymore." Deng Qi said dejectedly.

"You are bad, so she doesn't want you anymore." Qingque pushed him away, and asked crisply, "I'm not bad, why did she not want me?"

Deng Qi was tongue-tied.

After a while, Deng Qi apologized and said: "Probably, you look too much like me. She hates me, and you look like me, so she doesn't even like you anymore."

"The city gate is on fire, and it will affect the fish in the pond." Qingque said angrily, depressed for a long time.

"Girl, you are very good at using words." Deng Qi coughed, and talked about him from left to right, "Mr. Yang Ge taught you really well! Niuniu, you should learn from Mr. Yang Ge for two years first. When will Daddy stop talking?" There is a war, and I will take you back to the capital."

"You are so stupid!" The little girl said contemptuously: "You fight wars, and I can still learn from you. You don't fight anymore, so why should I follow you?"

The second monk Deng Qizhang was puzzled.You can still follow the war, but if you don't fight, will your father not want it?
Qing Que looked at him proudly, and said old-fashionedly: "When I grow up, I want to be a general, do you understand?"

On the cold and lonely plum tree with slanting branches and shadows, the blossoming jade butterflies are as white as snow, blooming in full bloom in the wind, and the wind is beautiful.The little girl standing with her head held high under the tree has picturesque features and is more delicate than a flower, but she is high-spirited and her posture is compelling.

Deng Qi only thought she was bragging, and coaxed her softly, "Okay, my daughter has grown up to be a great general! The horse stepped on Helan, drove out the barbarians, and calmed down the frontier. My daughter is the majestic commander-in-chief of the three armies! "

A delightful smile appeared on the little girl's flower-like beautiful face.

Deng Qi looked hot, stretched out his arms to carefully wrap his daughter in his arms, and greedily looked at her delicate face.This is the flesh and blood of me and Yu'er, my beloved baby girl, Qingque, Daddy loves you.

"Niu Niu has grown up, and she will lead the army with her father!" Deng Qi didn't know how to love Qing Que, and coaxed her according to her words, "We, father and son, will bring the Deng family army and kill Beiyuan Hulu!"

"No!" Qing Que resolutely objected, "I don't want to bring Deng's army, I want to bring Qi's army!"

Qi Jiajun?Deng Qi was stunned.

Seeing his surprised look, Qing Que pushed him away angrily, "I want to rebuild the three thousand cavalry, rebuild the Qi family army! That's how my mother wants me, do you understand?"

The little girl was furious, her big black and white eyes were full of anger and grievance.

blue sparrow!blue sparrow!Deng Qi looked at the little girl in front of him who looked exactly like him, and his heart ached.

"Okay, okay, my daughter has grown up, and she will lead the Qi family army." Deng Qi said repeatedly: "The Qi family army is famous for its strict military discipline and bravery in battle. My daughter will definitely carry forward the Qi family army!"

Seeing Qing Que's expression softened, Deng Qi cheered up and described vividly: "Niu Niu's military flag, of course, has to write a big character Qi, right? There is also a proud little bird drawn on it." Bluebird, soar in the sky."

Qingque opened her eyes wide and listened intently, very focused.

The cold wind was blowing more and more bitterly, Qing Que's little face was flushed by the wind, but there was a happy smile in his eyes.Deng Qi wrapped her in a cloak, but she didn't resist.

Among the plum groves, there was a vague figure of a woman passing by.

Deng Qi picked up his daughter calmly, and asked her with a smile, "Little Blue Bird, let's go back to the Nuanting Pavilion to talk to great-grandfather, okay?"

"Little blue bird"?so fun.Qingque smiled happily, stretched out her small arms to hook Deng Qi's neck, and her clear and melodious laughter filled the garden and into the warm pavilion.

"So happy." The great-grandfather and great-grandfather in the warming pavilion felt happy and at ease when they saw the blue sparrow in Deng Qi's arms smiling.

"Report to the two adults, I caught a little blue bird!" Deng Qi said jokingly, looking at the little girl in his arms with a smile.The little girl giggled and struggled, "Fly, fly!" Deng Qi laughed loudly, and as expected, he supported her to fly round and round in the warm pavilion without any sign of getting tired.

Great-grandfather and great-grandfather looked at each other with compassion in their hearts.Children still have to follow their parents. No matter how good Grandpa treats her, he can't play with her like this and make her so happy.

"If someone in your mansion can entrust Qingque, I'm really willing to bear the pain and give up. As long as Niuniu comes home from time to time to see me, the old man, that's enough." Elder Yang Ge sighed softly, "It's a pity, looking around, always No one can be trusted."

Ning Guogong lowered his head and was speechless.

Deng Qi played with Qingque for a while, and put her to sit between her great-grandfather and great-grandfather, "Be good, little blue bird, and I will catch you later." Qingque nodded happily, "Okay." After playing this After a long time, she was also tired.

Taking advantage of no one's attention, Deng Qi turned around and left the warm pavilion, and went to the Meilin where he stayed just now. "Yingniang, are you looking for me?" Deng Qi asked in a deep voice after arriving at Merlin, looking around.

Yingniang came out from behind a Longyou plum with vigorous and curly branches, her posture was calm.

The two looked at each other quietly for a while in silence.

Deng Qi really wanted to ask Yingniang, "How's Yu'er? Can I have some news for you?" But he didn't dare to speak, fearing that what Yingniang would say would make him even more hopeless.

"You took good care of my little girl, Yingniang, thank you very much." Deng Qi thanked politely.

Yingniang looked cold, "I take care of my little lady."

Another moment of silence.

After a long time, Yingniang settled down, and slowly opened her mouth, "The grandson and my young lady were married by a matchmaker, and the medium was married. My young lady will entrust you with her life, and she originally hoped that she would be able to live together forever."

Deng Qi's eyes turned hot, "I am the same. I hope that the husband and wife will be harmonious and stay together for a lifetime. Yingniang, when Yu'er and I got married, we were filled with joy and ecstatic."

Yingniang looked at him fixedly, and continued: "Later, the young lady became pregnant, and the grandson set off to return to Beijing. Before leaving, the grandson said that he would go back to Beijing to report to the elders, and he would come back to pick up the young lady soon."

In the bleak cold wind, Deng Qi's face was as white as paper.Yes, that's what I said before I left, but when I returned to the capital, the Funinghou Mansion was full of red, tears, pleadings, and threats of death from my grandmother and mother...

Yingniang had no mercy, and her tone was cold and heartless, "After the grandson left, the lady waited day after day, month after month, and the grandson didn't come back. When my lady gave birth in October and gave birth to the little lady, your dear There is news from the government that the grandson has already married Shen Mo, and Shen Mo is five months pregnant."

Deng Qi leaned helplessly against a plum tree beside him, inexplicably, Shen Mo's gentle face on the wedding night emerged in his mind, shy and delicate, slowly leaning on himself, "Husband, Yu'er and I love sisters , I would like Yu'er to be the big one and I to be the little one. Husband, Husband..."

Yingniang's voice was flat, as if she was talking about something completely irrelevant to her, "At this moment, if my lady wants to justify her name, it will be difficult. With us as master and servant, When we arrived at the Marquis of Funing's Mansion, no one turned towards us, and if we went there, we would be humiliating ourselves. If we say we don't want to go to the Marquis of Funing's Mansion, and complain to the government, we may not even be able to enter the gate of the Shuntian Mansion."

"Even if you can enter the government office and hand in the certificate, what good can you ask for? In this kind of lawsuit, what you pay attention to is the marriage letter, matchmaking, and engagement. The matchmaker between you and the young lady is Aunt Cao, the concubine's aunt of the grandson, Does she dare to turn against my young lady and do something wrong with her mother's family?"

"At this point, the young lady has no other way out, so she had to order me to drown the little green sparrow, and the mother and daughter went together, which is better than staying in this world and enduring humiliation. Grandchildren, your Deng family is so powerful that you can keep General Longhu behind. The only blood in my blood is forced into a desperate situation."

Yingniang was originally very emotional, but when she said these cold words, her expression was always calm, and her voice was flat and unwavering.

Deng Qi's lips turned pale, and he said in a low voice: "I was just thinking that Yu'er and Sister Shen Mo are commensurate, and it is also a good story."

Yingniang spat hard, "Bah! Let my young lady work with that woman surnamed Shen, why not kill her with a knife! Being reduced to that situation, life would be worse than death!"

Deng Qi's face was earthy.

"You and her childhood sweetheart, childhood sweetheart, how can she let you down, you want to humiliate her like this?" Yingniang scolded angrily, "My lady, who is as golden as jade, was harmed by you!"

Deng Qi suddenly realized something, and looked up at Yingniang, "Yuer asked you to tell me this, right? Where is Yuer, Yingniang, where is Yuer?"

Deng Qi clenched his fists, his palms were sweaty.

Yingniang met his gaze and said clearly: "You almost killed her! You have married a wife, and she has her own life to live. Please don't entangle me any more from now on. Separate each other and treat each other differently. Happy life!"

Deng Qi felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his mind went blank.Although Yingniang hated him very deeply, seeing him so devastated, she felt a little sympathy in her heart.

After a long time, Deng Qi said awkwardly: "Understood. From now on, the Deng family is not allowed to mention her. When Qingque is mentioned, she will not be mentioned."

Yingniang secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Deng Qimu turned around and walked slowly away step by step.Yingniang couldn't bear to look at his lonely back, so she turned around, pretending to appreciate the blooming jade butterflies on the branches.Miss, he is no longer the high-spirited young man of the past, how about you, how are you?
Back in the warm pavilion, Deng Qi's expression was normal.Seeing Qing Que's expectant gaze, Deng Qi smiled slightly, "Little Qing Que, Daddy is here to catch you!" Qing Que giggled, and jumped off the stool to run, Deng Qi flung himself over with bared teeth and claws, Qing Que smiled Happier and run faster.

When Ning Guogong and Deng Qi were about to leave, Qing Que and Deng Qi were already very close.The two solemnly stretched out their hands and pulled the hook, "You take the Deng family army, I take the Qi family army, and we will drive out the Hulu together!"

Deng Qi was riding on horseback, looking back at the beautiful and delicate little daughter beside Yang Gelao, feeling sore in his heart.Girl, even if you really rebuild the Qi Family Army when you grow up, your mother won't want you anymore.Little blue bird, you have been troubled by your father.

Deng Qi was cruel, he didn't look back, and followed the Ningguo stallion.

In the next two days, Qingque often had a stern face and refused to smile.Yingniang fawned on her and followed her, Mother Lin told jokes, Old Yang Ge comforted her with gentle words, and Zhang Hu took her to hunt in the mountains, but they didn't make her happy.

"Which family is this daughter, she has such a big temper." Seeing this, the Second Young Mistress was furious.It's just a wild girl of unknown origin from the Deng family, who was temporarily fostered by the Yang family, but it turned out to be good, she is more airy than a serious girl like Sister Qi!
"Catch a little blue bird!" The Second Young Mistress was in a good mood and took Qi Qi for a walk in the garden, and the sound of joking and laughter could be heard from a distance.Taking a closer look, Zhang Hu is playing the role of an eagle, and Qingque is playing the role of a bird. The two of them are having a good time.

"I flew, I flew, I didn't catch it!" Qingque ran happily, with a happy light shining in her big eyes.

Zhang Hu was wearing a pure black cloak, and leaped towards Qing Que like a big bird, shouting, "Here comes the eagle!" Qing Que's face was full of excitement, "Fly away, the little bird flew away!" With open arms, laughing and running fast.

"The eagle is so beautiful!" Sister Qi said enviously.The Second Young Mistress's eyes were wide open, isn't it? Zhang Hu was born with a bright face, but the black clothes made his face like beautiful jade, and his eyes as dark as night.What's more, the figure leaping in the air is incomparably graceful and ethereal.

"Sister Qi, do you want to play?" The Second Young Mistress bent down and asked Sister Qi softly.Sister Qi's pretty little face was full of hesitation, "Mother, girls can play this at home, okay?"

The second young lady saw that sister Qi clearly wanted to play, but she worried that such crazy play was not ladylike enough, so she smiled and said, "What's wrong with that. In our house, there are no outsiders. Little Qingque and Brother Hu are all They are my brothers and sisters."

Sister Qi held the skirt of the second young lady's clothes, "Then, call my brother, I will play with my brother." The second young lady kissed her little face, and told the maid to call Yu brother.

Qing Que cheered and ran towards them, "Second Aunt, Sister Qi!" The second young lady agreed with a smile, and pushed Sister Qi out, "Go, play with your sister." Yearning, hesitantly took two steps, Zhang Hu rushed towards her fiercely, "The eagle is coming!" Qing Que pulled her up and ran, "Sister Qi, we are little birds, fly fast, fly fast!"

Yang Qi ran with Qing Que, thinking it was quite interesting, and didn't care what was ladylike or not, laughing and screaming all the way.When Yang Yu came over, there was another little bird. Zhang Hu, the eagle, flew over quickly, and the three little birds had nowhere to hide.

The second young lady watched with a smile on her face, and from time to time she would say with distressed words, "Sister Qi, slow down!" "Brother Yu, don't run too fast!" No, she just talked about her, and the children just ran around.

The children had a great time playing today, and everyone was sweating.The Second Young Mistress lovingly wiped the sweat off the faces of Brother Yu and Sister Qi, and inadvertently saw Zhang Hu take out a snow-white handkerchief from his arms to wipe the sweat for Qingque, gentle and careful.

The Second Young Mistress's subordinates stopped, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.Zhang Shizi originally escorted him back to his hometown, but now, he is protecting her everywhere like Qingque, the wild girl's brother.

The Second Young Mistress brushed Sister Qi's beautiful face with her slender hand, her resentment was beyond words.My sister Qi comes from a scholarly family, she is noble and refined, isn't she thousands of times stronger than that girl of unknown origin?
When eating in the evening, Qing Que, Brother Yu, and Sister Qi ate better than each other, and each of them ate an extra bowl of rice than usual.Boss Yang Ge was surprised, "It's so edible? I can't afford it, I can't afford it."

Qing Que, Brother Yu, and Sister Qi became even more energetic, and said in unison, "Add another bowl!" Yang Ge always felt distressed, shaking his head without speaking, and Lin Nanny suppressed a smile to persuade They said, "Don't eat any more. If you eat too much at night, it's easy to accumulate food."

It’s best to raise a child with three points of hunger and cold. Don’t eat too much and dress too warmly.I have already eaten one more bowl of rice than usual, and I dare not eat more.

"Don't add more rice, let's eat the pastry!" Three pairs of chopsticks happily pinched the golden bean noodle pastry together, Zhang Hu smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand.Qing Que and the others felt a blur in front of their eyes, and the plate containing the pastry was pulled in front of Zhang Hu, out of their reach.

Qing Que put down her chopsticks and shamed Zhang Hu, "Use the big to bully the small, use the strong to bully the weak!" Brother Yu and sister Qi also reasoned with Zhang Hu seriously, "Brother Hu, you just blindly please your grandfather and Nanny Lin. , ignoring us who are starving, it is unkind."

To Yang Ge's old delight, Brother Yu and Sister Qi didn't look like children in the past, they were so serious at a young age, and today they finally learned how to play tricks!
After some haggling, an agreement was finally reached: brother Yu, sister Qi, and Qingque, each of them can eat another piece of pastry.The three children were all smiling, brother Yu praised "sweet and delicious", sister Qi praised "unique flavor", Qingque was the most ingenious, and sighed, "I'm so hungry..." Everyone was overwhelmed.

This dinner was very enjoyable.

Zhang Hu stayed in Yang's house for a few more days, either taking Qingque out to play wars, or hunting in the mountains, he was very busy.If brother Yu and sister Qi didn't have homework, Zhang Hu and Qingque would also take them to play together.Second Young Mistress saw that Brother Yu and Sister Qi had eaten too much after they ran and danced, and the smile on their faces was also cheerful, so she let them go.

Nanny Lin is in charge of the housework, and the Second Young Mistress does not need to work hard.The second young lady has nothing to do, so she will watch, listen, and think more.

The Second Young Mistress thought about it for a long time, and plucked up the courage to ask Elder Yang Ge, "Grandfather, Mr. Zhang is indeed a rare talent, the No. 1 choice for the son-in-law of the east bed..."
