Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 397 Innovation

At the beginning of the morning, a round of sun rises slowly from where the sea and sky meet, and thousands of rays of light shine all over the world.

The flowing water sang joyfully, galloping eastward.On a rock, a tall man was sitting on a fishing rod. This man was none other than Han Xin.

Holding the fishing rod he had when he was a child, Han Xin casually threw the hook into the water, splashed a few splashes, and stared at the fishing line for a moment.

Not long after, an old lady came tremblingly with a basket on her back. This old lady was none other than the old laundry lady who served Han Xin.

With sharp eyes, Han Xin hurriedly put the fishing rod on the rock, trotted over, and said, "Old man, come, I will help you."

The old lady disagreed, and said, "Han Xin, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? You haven't eaten, so where do you get the strength from? I'll do it myself."

Han Xin said with a smile: "Old man, don't worry, I, Han Xin, are young and strong, so this is not a problem. Come on, old man."

The old lady couldn't resist Han Xin, so she put down the back basket, took out a food box from the back basket, and said, "Han Xin, come, eat some food first. After you have eaten, you will have strength, so it won't be too late to help me carry it. Anyway, my boss doesn’t rush me, so it’s not a big deal if I’m late or early.”

Although the words were a bit nagging, they were sincere and full of love for Han Xin. Han Xin was very moved and said: "Old man, if I eat, you will have nothing to eat. I, Han Xin, can't bear it."

The old lady stuffed the food box into Han Xin's hand and said, "You don't have to worry about me, I prepared this specially for you. I am old and have no strength, so I can't do much work, so I earn money by washing clothes for my boss." Live on wages. My strength is limited, so I can't make you full every meal, but I can still prepare a box of lunch for you every day. Ah, eat, eat."

In Han Xin's memory, since his mother passed away, he has never heard such caring words. His heart warmed, tears welled up in his tiger's eyes, and he knelt on the ground with a bang, and said, "Old man, if you don't If you despise Han Xin for being unfilial and worthless, then accept Han Xin as your godson."

The old lady was surprised at first, then very happy, and said: "Han Xin, I have no children, I am old, and I don't even have a person to die. If you are willing, we will live together from now on. It doesn't matter, Whether it's sweet or not, as long as our mother and daughter can be together, it will be a good day."

Han Xin couldn't bear it anymore, knocked his head nine times, hugged the old lady's feet and shouted: "Mother, my son has a mother."

"Good son, good son!" The old lady stroked Han Xin's hair, tears welled up in her eyes, and said, "Mother has a son, mother is happy! Good son, get up, get up."

With the support of the old lady, Han Xin stood up and said, "Mother, sit down while my son washes your clothes."

The old lady nodded and said: "That's a good relationship! It's just that you are a person who does big things, how can you come to do the laundry."

Han Xin said with a smile: "Mother, my son can do big things, but also small things! Mother's business is the son's business. It is the son's filial piety for the son to help you wash the clothes."

"Okay, okay!" The old lady nodded repeatedly, and said, "Okay, you eat the food first, and it's not too late to wash." Opening the food box, he handed it to Han Xin.

Han Xin took a look, it was still the same brown rice as last time, the portion was a bit bigger, enough for him to eat.What's even more rare is that the dish is no longer a side dish, but mixed with a little meat flower.Although it's just a little bit of meat, Han Xin knows very well, not to mention that every grain of rice is hard-earned for the old man. This meat must be specially prepared for him, and it is even more precious. Tears rolled down from the tiger's eyes again , crying: "Mother!"

The old lady wiped away Han Xin's tears with her sleeve, and said comfortingly, "Son, eat, eat quickly."

Han Xin couldn't speak anymore, nodded, picked up the food, and wept.Rather than saying that he is eating, it is more accurate to say that he is accepting a true love in the world!

After eating, Han Xin washed the food box, and then came to the river with a basket, and washed clothes under the guidance of the old lady.Although Han Xin is not as proficient in washing clothes as he is in military art, he is a very smart person. Under the old lady's training, he quickly got started and finished washing in a short time.

Han Xin packed up his clothes and said, "Mother, let's go home."

The old lady nodded and said, "Yes." She was about to carry the basket.

Han Xin hurriedly said: "Mother, let your son show filial piety and let him carry you home."

The old lady refused, and said: "How can it be done, my mother has good feet and hands, can walk and run, how can I let you carry it on my back."

Han Xin was very happy and said: "Mother, look at your son's head, it's easy to carry a hundred and eighty catties. Mother, don't talk about it, let your son carry you."

How can a mother be unhappy if her son has such filial piety?The old lady was very relieved and said, "But what about this basket?"

Han Xin smiled and said, "Mother, this is easy. Isn't it very convenient for you to carry the basket and your son to carry you?"

The old lady said reluctantly: "Isn't that heavy? It's hard for you."

Han Xin said nonchalantly: "Mother, my son is young and has plenty of strength. Besides, the son is full and has enough strength. It's not a big deal."

"Then it will be hard for you." The old lady finally agreed.

Han Xin lifted the basket and asked the old lady to carry it on his back, then squatted down, carried the old lady on his back, and strode away.

Seeing Han Xin walking fast and fast, the old lady was happy from the bottom of her heart, but his joy did not last long before being replaced by surprise, because Han Xin carried her directly into a compound.

"Son, this is not my home, you went wrong." The old lady reminded Han Xin.

Han Xin smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry, that's right, it's here."

"No, my mother's house is a dilapidated hut. Only the owner's compound is so big and so nice." The old lady didn't believe it at all.

Han Xin explained: "Mother, this is your new home, you will live here from now on, you don't need to do laundry anymore."

"How can it be done? Mother was born with such a hard life, what can I eat if I don't wash clothes?" The old lady couldn't believe it.

Han Xin continued: "Mother, you don't have to worry about this. You are the son's mother, and your son will naturally take care of your life. Mother, look, everyone here is here to serve you, and you will enjoy the happiness in the future. Mother, you have been tired all your life, so you should enjoy your happiness."

The old lady saw that three maids came out and were saluting to Han Xin. She couldn't believe it and said: "Son, what's going on?"

Han Xin said with a smile: "Mother, my son recently made a friend with a lot of money. He lent him a sum of money, so my son bought this yard and invited such a person to serve you."

The old lady nodded happily and said: "Okay, it's rare that you have such filial piety, and my mother is very happy! It's just that you borrow other people's money to honor your mother, and my mother feels uncomfortable. Son, return the money to others, we We are poor people and have no money, but we have ambition and we have to rely on our own efforts to support ourselves."

Of course, Han Xin couldn't just say that Prince Fusu lent him a sum of money, and said, "Mother, don't worry, my son borrowed the money and has to pay it back."

The old lady still didn't believe it, and persuaded: "Son, it costs a lot of money, and you may not be able to pay it back in your whole life. Mother can't put your son's future on the line for the sake of leisure, good son, listen to what mother says, and put the money in your hands. The yard is sold, and the money is returned to others. Ah, only mother can be happy if she listens to her."

Han Xin put the old lady down and said to a servant, "You send the clothes to the master."

The servant responded, and Han Xin instructed: "Tell the boss, I, Han Xin, thank him for taking care of my mother for so many years, and for doing laundry for my mother. From now on, my mother will no longer wash clothes for him, and ask him to find another one. one."

Before the servant agreed, the old lady hurriedly said: "No. My son, you have cut off my mother's life. If it weren't for the poor master of the master who gave her this job, she would have starved to death."

"Go!" Han Xin waved his hand to let the servant go to work, helped the old lady to sit down, and said, "Mother, don't worry, my son will not let you be cold and hungry, let alone make you tired. "

The old lady was very happy, and said: "That's good, it's just that when Mother thinks that you are borrowing money from others, she will feel uneasy."

The ancients repaid their kindness with a meal, and so did Han Xin!
Han Xin said full of pride: "Mother, you don't have to worry about this. Mother, my son told you that this friend is not just an ordinary friend, but a very great friend. My son has thought about it and wants to follow him to do things, to do great things."

The old lady nodded and said: "Okay! My son is a person who does great things. Mother is very happy when she hears this. But, mother wants to tell you a word: You can't do things that are sorry for others!"

"Mother, son remember." Han Xin was taught: "Mother, let me tell you the truth, my son is going to be an official this time, to be a general. Mother, you know that my son likes military art, and other things I don’t understand, if you let your son become a general, your son will definitely do something earth-shattering!”

These words were too shocking. Although the old lady was happy, she couldn't believe it after all, and said: "Son, you didn't lie to mother?"

"How can it be?" Han Xin didn't even think about it, and said: "My son, this friend is very important in the court. With his recommendation, why can't my son be of great use to the world." .

"Mother believes you!" The old lady closed her mouth with joy.

Han Xin's face darkened, and he said, "It's just that my son will leave Huaiyin in a few days, and I can't serve your old man. Please forgive me."

Although the old lady was reluctant to give up, she was still very reasonable and encouraged Han Dao: "Son, you are doing great things, you can't keep guarding your mother and delay your future. You can go at ease, mother, you don't have to worry."

Han Xin hummed, and the old lady asked, "Son, when are you leaving?"

Han Xin's expression changed, and he said, "Mother, my son will leave if he has to do one more thing."

The old lady had sharp eyes and found that Han Xin's face was not good, so she asked, "Son, is something not going your way? Tell mother about it, and let mother make up your mind for you."
