Chapter 170
Zhao Daddy's Six
Seven-year-old Zhao Mu and four-year-old Zhao Hong ran into the main room together. Ning Lanrong was teaching her daughter to read. When she heard the movement, she raised her head and frowned slightly scolded the two little naughty guys: "How many times have you taught you? Don't run around in a panic. Next time I will tell your father!"
"Dad, butt you!" Three-year-old Zhao Xiang knelt at the kang table and said gloatingly.
Zhao Mu secretly poked his third brother, and Zhao Hong immediately complained in grievance: "Brother beat us, mom, tell me about him!"
Ning Lanrong waved to him, and after her son came over, she gently touched his little head: "Are you causing trouble again?"
The eldest son was very sensible when he was born. The only thing she worried about for so many years was that the eldest son and her husband had too much temper. When they were together, they almost stared at each other and advised their son not to listen. A man who was so old was so unwilling to give in to the eldest son. He agreed well, but when he turned around, he deliberately bullied his eldest son.
Zhao Hong curled his lips: "I want to play with my elder brother's bow, but he is stingy and refuses to give it to me."
"Your elder brother is afraid that you will be injured accidentally. He is nice to you, and you will also secretly complain. He is neither the brother's good brother nor the mother's good son." Ning Lanrong pretended to be angry.
"I'm not a good brother either!" Zhao Xiang agreed like a little man.
Ning Lanrong smiled and glared at her daughter: "You can talk."
Zhao Xiang grinned, and Yu Guangli saw someone walking in from the door. She stood up happily and ran towards the edge of the kang: "Brother!"
Zhao Chen steadily caught his sister. Seeing that both brothers were honestly silent, he asked her sister to take the copybook over and take the opportunity to explain to her mother what happened. She was intimate and natural. Ning Lanrong smiled and praised him for doing well, and then punished two small ones to write ten big words and hand them over tomorrow.
Zhao Mu and Zhao Hong left dejectedly.
Zhao Chenduo stayed with his mother and sister for a while before leaving.
In the evening, Zhao Yunting came back from the yamen. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his eldest son waiting for him in the yard. He looked tense and looked like he was asking for guilt. Zhao Yunting pretended not to understand and was about to go to the house to change his clothes first. Zhao Chen frowned and blocked the door, and raised his head to ask him: "Have you finished your errand to Dengzhou? If you delay any more, I will go there myself!"
Zhao Yunting deliberately bent down to look at him: "If you are not afraid of your mother being anxious, just go. You are really becoming less and less patient as you live. Aji is only seven years old now, so what's there to be anxious?"
Zhao Chen's chest was so angry that his chest was undulating, and he stared at him as if he was looking at his enemy.
Zhao Yunting couldn't bear it anymore, so he took out an imperial edict from his chest and said to him: "I'm down, we'll go to Dengzhou the next day."
Zhao Chen turned around and left.
~
Zhao Yunting was ordered to go to Dengzhou to do a job. Because he was going to go for three months, he couldn't bear to leave his wife and children, so he took Ning Lanrong Niang and took them to the house he bought here in his spare time, and a quiet villa with a circle of sycamore trees planted in a backyard.
At dusk that day, Zhao Yunting led Zhao Chen back from hunting outside, and the father and son went to find Ning Lanrong together.
"What good thing has you beat?" Ning Lanrong felt relieved when he saw that both of them were safe and sound.
Zhao Yunting told a few interesting stories in the mountains, then remained silent for a moment before continuing: "Lan Rong, I met a paradise in the mountains. I want Chengyuan to stay here to study and practice martial arts, and then return to the capital after learning."
Ning Lanrong's face suddenly changed: "What expert? Why didn't you invite him back as a guest?"
Zhao Chen continued: "Mr. Gao lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests. My father and I met him by chance. Mom, Mr. Gao is both civil and military. I begged my father to let me stay and become a disciple. After you leave, your son will pass. Mom. Don't worry about your son. Every year in the twelfth lunar month, my son will return to Beijing to see you."
Ning Lanrong carried the eldest son into her arms and insisted that Zhao Yunting make it clear. Suddenly, she would be separated for a long time. How could she bear to bear it?
Zhao leaned quietly in his mother's arms.
He couldn't bear to leave his mother either. Fortunately, his mother lived a happy life in this life. With his father taking good care of him and his younger brothers and sisters, he stayed with confidence. He was a little unfilial, but when he came back with memories of his previous life, he just wanted to stay by his wife at all times and grow up with her. He firmly occupied her heart since childhood and did not give Meng Zhongjing any chance.
No matter how reluctant Ning Lanrong was, she could not resist Zhao Yunting and his son making complete arrangements for this reason. Although Ning Lanrong felt uncomfortable, she knew how to choose the best. For the sake of her son's future, she could only follow the decisions of the father and son.
Because they took the time to come, Zhao Yunting could not stay in Tongwan for a long time, so he quickly left with his wife and three children. Naturally, he was reluctant to part with him. On the day they left, a new pair of hunter masters and apprentices came to the village where Lin Xian’s family was located, and hired people to build a house in the open space behind the street of the Lin family.
Building a house is also a big deal in the village. It is also at the back door of his own house. Four-year-old Lin Zhu always likes to go over to watch the fun and move small stools under the wall, so the sun cannot be sunburned.
Aji wanted to take care of her sister, so she sat with her and taught her to read the word "Three Character Classic".
"You know all the words on it?"
A male voice suddenly came from the opposite side. The sisters looked up together and saw a boy coming over, wearing a coarse cloth clothes. He was the newly moved Chen Liehun's little apprentice.
Aji nodded. Because she was not familiar with Zhao Chen, she didn't say much and continued to teach her sister.
"I don't believe you know everything." Zhao Chen snatched the book over and leaned against the wall beside Aji and flipped two pages. When Aji stood up angrily to grab the book, Zhao Chen suddenly raised the book high and looked at her with a smile: "I will test you six words. If you know everything, I will return the book to you."
"That's my book, give it to me!" Aju didn't want to pay attention to him at all. There were too many naughty boys in the village, and I didn't expect there was another one.
Seeing that his sister was bullied, Lin Zhu opened her mouth and shouted to the opposite side: "Dad, Zhao Chen snatched my elder sister's book!"
At this time, there was no work in the field. Lin Xianxian couldn't stay there, so he helped build a house at the Chen family. When he heard his little daughter's shouting, he looked back, then smiled, and called Chen Liehuo: "Children play, don't worry, Zhao Chen's child is sensible and will not really bully Aji and the others."
Chen Liehun smiled apologetically: "Boy is naughty, I'll cause trouble for your family. I'll teach him a lesson after going back."
Dad didn't help, Lin Zhu ran to the front yard to ask for help from his mother.
Zhao Chen shook the book at the little girl with a tense face beside him, "You girls are the most boring. You have to complain to your parents for every little thing. Do you want to go too?"
Aji ignored him and saw that the book was shaking in front of him, and suddenly reached out to grab it.
Zhao Chen kept staring at her. As soon as Aji reached out, he raised the book again and discussed with her in a low voice: "Just take the exam for six words, I will give you back immediately if you say it." After saying that, he looked up and read the book, turned a few pages and placed the book in front of Aji, "What do you pronounce this word?"
Aji grabbed the book and wanted to snatch it back, but Zhao Chen held it tightly. Aji was worried that the book would break down, so she had to read it out in anger, "Ah."
"Do you really know each other?" Zhao Chen showed an unexpected look and continued the exam.
Aji jumped out one word at a time, and he refused to say more if it was too much. He quickly finished pronunciation of six words, "Give it to me!"
Zhao Chen looked at her with a smile: "You connect the six words you just said and read them again, and I will give them to you."
Aji couldn't help but recall the six words. After thinking it through, she was really angry and blushed and scolded him: "You, you're teasing someone!"
Liu's voice came from the backyard of the Lin family. Zhao Chen handed the book to Aju and touched her head, and said to her quietly: "Aju, you said you liked me just now. I remember, don't worry, I will marry you as a wife when I grow up!"
After saying that, he ran away.
Aji's face turned red with anger. She gritted her teeth at his back and made up her mind to ignore this person again.
But she gradually discovered that as long as she led her sister out to play, Zhao Chen would definitely follow her. It was nothing to talk to the little girl in the same village. If she talked to another boy, Zhao Chen would stand in front of her. The boys in the middle family were not as scoundrel as he was. In addition, he was tall and could beat him, and the boys in the village were afraid of him, so slowly no one dared to talk to her. Her sisters of the same age even said that she was Zhao Chen's little wife...
Aji simply stopped going out and stayed at home to read books.
But this is not possible. Zhao Chen would find various excuses to come to her house, either borrowing scissors or sending some prey over. His parents didn't know what their children were playing with, and they would only praise Zhao Chen for being sensible. Even his sister was bribed by a pair of white rabbits sent by Zhao Chen and refused to say bad things about him in front of his parents. When he thought of Zhao Chen's smug look at her, Aju was very depressed.
Winter is coming unknowingly.
That day, my parents went to the town to go to the market. Aji was taking care of her sister at home. The two of them were playing with ropes on the kang, and the curtain was suddenly lifted.
"You climbed over our wall again!" Aju cursed with his eyes.
"Who told you to refuse to open the door for me?" Zhao Chen looked like she was her fault.
The two stared at each other, and Lin Zhu sat obediently on the kang without saying a word.
Aji couldn't stare at Zhao Chen every time, so he was so angry that he didn't open his eyes. Anyway, he left in a short while.
Zhao Chen was not here to make her angry, and asked Lin Zhu, "I want to go to the capital. What doesn't Azhu want? Brother will bring it to you."
Lin Zhu excitedly climbed to the edge of the kang: "Brother Zhao is going to Beijing? What good things are there in Beijing? I want something delicious, but I want..."
"You are not allowed to ask him for anything!" Aju interrupted her sister unhappily.
"Don't listen to her, Azhu continues." Although he was talking to Lin Zhu, Zhao Chen's eyes never left the little girl sitting inside.
Lin Zhu was not very afraid of the elder sister, so she said all the fans, floral cloths, etc. she wanted.
Zhao Chen wrote down everything. When Lin Zhu finally finished speaking, he asked Aji with kindness: "Where are you? Don't be embarrassed, what is the relationship between us? Just say it, I will buy it for you."
Lin Zhu couldn't understand this, but Aji could not understand anymore. He knew that he could not tell Zhao Chen, so he turned his head and refused to look at him.
Zhao Chen threw the peanuts in her hand and threw them away: "Since you don't say it, I'll buy it for you casually. You can wait at home and I'll be back in the early February."
"Let's go!" Aju won't let him come back.
But Zhao Chen really left. When no one around teased her for several days, Aji's initial happiness gradually turned into loss for some reason. She always felt that something was missing. She would think how far away the capital was from here, when Zhao Chen would arrive in the capital, what he would bring her, and when he would come back...
~
Another year of spring is chilly.
Mrs. Liu looked at her daughter who was sitting on the kang, who looked like she was reading a book but was actually unscrupulous, and smiled and joked: "You want Chengyuan again? Don't worry, I came back in early February in the past year, and this year is coming soon."
Lin Zhu joined in the fun: "That's right, when you get married in June, you can go to the capital with your brother-in-law to watch the fun."
Aji's face turned red and was about to explain that she was just reading a book, when the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the street outside.
Her heart suddenly rose.
Mrs. Liu listened carefully and confirmed that the voice was coming from her home. She was so happy that she went downstairs to open the door for her prospective son-in-law. Lin Zhulin Chongjiu followed her excitedly.
Aji just got off the ground and waited nervously in the house.
Zhao Chen brought a full car of gifts back, and helped Liu move into the house with a large bag. After entering the house, he looked at Aji for a few more times, but he didn't show any unruly. He talked with Liu and went back home from the back door.
But Aji became more and more nervous day by day. She knew that Zhao Chen was not honest, he was waiting for the opportunity to bully her as much as possible.
On this day, Liu and Lin Xian went to the town to buy things, and Lin Zhu and Lin Chongjiu both followed him.
Aji was extremely nervous. She was looking forward to Zhao Chen coming to ask her to take a good look, but was afraid that he would hug her and kiss her when he came. When he was in a dilemma, he heard someone knocking on the door.
From childhood to adulthood, he could always touch her house like a thief.
Aji finally looked at the glass and made sure that his hair was not messy, so she went there nervously.
When she opened the door, her fiancé, a 17-year-old boy, was standing outside, tall and handsome. She blushed just by just one look.
"Don't miss me?" Zhao Chen closed the door with his backhand, staring at his fiancee who had grown into a big girl with a bright look.
How could Aji answer such words? He sat at the table first, lowered his head and warned him: "You can leave when you say something, don't delay too long."
"Okay, let's go to the house and talk." Zhao Chen walked over step by step. When Aji got up and wanted to escape, he picked up the person horizontally, threw it on the kang in the inner room and rushed forward, "Aji, Aji, do you know how much I miss you? Don't hide, let me kiss you well, just kiss me, and never be a side before getting married."
He pressed his shy wife and taught her to do things they had done countless times.
