Early in the morning, Zhao Kuo was caught out by Zhao's mother, who prepared a brand new set of clothes for him. Zhao Kuo yawned, washed his face, rubbed his eyes, put on the new clothes, and sat down.
He came down and had breakfast. During this period, Zhao's mother had been sitting next to him, nagging him, telling him what to say later. It could be seen that Zhao's mother was very worried about what Zhao Kuo would do.
Screw up this blind date.
"Listen more to what others say, and don't talk about governing the country, let alone war..."
"What did I tell her about running the country..."
"Also, she is a simple woman, so don't say rude words."
"Mother...when have I ever said anything rude?"
Zhao Kuo looked at Mother Zhao blankly. After experiencing a lot of indiscriminate bombardment, he was completely confused. Mother Zhao asked him to get up again. Zhao Kuo was like a puppet, letting his mother tidy up for him.
Regarding clothes, Mother Zhao was both worried and happy, and after giving instructions for a long time, she called Han Fei in and said to Han Fei, "I tell everyone not to disturb Kuo today."
Han Fei hurriedly said yes and left in a hurry.
Zhao Kuo let out a long sigh and watched Han Fei also flee, but he could only continue to listen to Zhao's mother's instructions. Zhao Zheng was standing not far away, holding a few apples in his hand. He didn't know who gave them to him.
He kept eating, his face was bulging, and he moved every move. No matter how he looked at it, Zhao Kuo felt that he looked like a squirrel. When he noticed his father's gaze, Zhao Zheng was stunned and looked at him. Zhao Kuo pointed at himself.
Zhao Zheng opened his mouth and pointed at the apple in his hand. Zhao Zheng hesitated for a moment, then suddenly turned around and continued eating.
Good guy...I have raised a white-eyed wolf.
"I'm talking to you!" Mother Zhao suddenly woke up Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo looked at her hurriedly, nodded and said, "I've written it all down." Mother Zhao's tone became gentle.
Some of them said to Zhao Kuo: "Kuo, she is a virtuous person... have a good conversation. If you like her and can watch you get married, I will have no regrets even if I die now..."
"Auntie, I don't want a mother." Zhao Zheng stood beside Mother Zhao at some point, still chewing the fruit in his mouth, and said vaguely. Mother Zhao glared at him and then said: "Look
Your collar! Who gave you the fruit?! I can't wash it anymore!" Zhao Zheng lowered his head and looked at his dirty collar. He simply betrayed his accomplices, "It was Ge Gong who gave it to me.
of."
Mother Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she grabbed the little guy's hand, gave Zhao Kuo a few more instructions, and then walked out of the courtyard.
Zhao Kuo was sitting in the courtyard. The weather was still a bit cold. Even the scorching sun hanging high in the sky could not change this. It was not that Zhao Kuo had never thought about starting a family, but it was just that he had to spend time with a woman he had never met.
In life, this was something that was really not something that he was willing to do. He didn't know what kind of person this woman from the Xu Li family was. Zhao Kuo only remembered that he had met her once when he took Zhao Zheng back.
I vaguely remember that she was a young, thin, and petite girl.
At this moment, Zhao's mother, who was leading Zhao Zheng out, happened to meet Si Kongyi who came to give her winter clothes. Si Kongyi had just stepped off the bullock cart and saw Zhao's mother in front of him. He hurriedly saluted with a smile. Zhao's mother smiled.
He got up, chatted with her, and whispered: "I'm waiting for you in the courtyard." Si Kongyi was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red with embarrassment, reaching the roots of his ears. Just as Zhao's mother was about to speak, Zhao on the side
Zheng Que said dissatisfiedly: "I don't want a mother."
Sikong Yi looked at the little guy in surprise, then squatted down and asked with a smile: "Zheng? I brought you a gift!"
"Is there anything to eat?"
"Of course. I heard that you like to fight, right? In addition to food, I also knitted you a piece of "armor"!" She took a small piece of clothing from the ox cart, which was obviously a winter coat.
However, the winter clothes are hung with various woven pieces of cloth that look like fish scales, as well as exquisite arm guards, which are embroidered with various "powerful" patterns. They are made in a stylish way, and the little guy's eyes are
He straightened up immediately and looked at the little clothes motionless.
"Like it?"
"I like it, mother!"
Naturally, Zhao Kuo didn't know that his ally had rebelled. He was just sitting in the courtyard drinking hot water when he saw someone pushing open the door and walking in. The person who came was Sikong Yi. Zhao Kuo looked at her. Si Kongyi was wearing very simple clothes.
She was not wearing clothes, and she was not dressed up. She probably did not expect that this visit to Zhao's mother would turn into a blind date ceremony between herself and Zhao Kuo. She lowered her head, her face was red, and her whole body seemed to be trembling.
"Ah...you...are Xu Gong's daughter...please sit down." Zhao Kuo stood up and spoke. His voice was trembling and his tongue was not smooth. This was his first blind date. Zhao Kuo's mother
Everything he had just explained seemed to have been forgotten, and Zhao Kuo didn't know what to say. Sikong Yi slowly sat aside and then raised his head, and Zhao Kuo saw her face, which was delicate and clean.
There is a feeling of wanting to be cared for...
If Zhao Ji has an appearance that makes people imagine, then Si Kong Yi is the complete opposite of her. Si Kong Yi looks like a... fearful rabbit? It can't be said to be beautiful, it can be said to be cute. She is not very old.
, petite in stature, sat in front of Zhao Kuo, with panic in his eyes and a feeling of shame. Zhao Kuo looked at her for a moment, then noticed that he was losing his composure, coughed a few times, and then said: "I am Zhao Kuo.
.”
"Um..."
Sikong Yi's voice was very nice, full of the tenderness of a southern woman, but less lively than a woman from Zhao. Zhao Kuo nodded, and the two of them just sat like this without saying a word. Zhao Kuo was a little nervous and looked at
Looking around, I couldn't find any topics to talk about. After thinking for a moment, I said, "Is Mr. Xu's health okay?"
"He is very nice. He often talks about you at home."
"That's good. These days, I know that Mr. Xu is busy relieving the victims. Did you know? Shaqiu, Lieren, Ye, Pingyang and other areas have suffered floods, and the cultivated land has been submerged. Fortunately, Mr. Xu is here to help the victims.
Xu Gong responded in a timely manner and led his soldiers to promptly dig out the blockages in several channels..." Zhao Kuo gradually started talking, from the disasters in Zhao's country to political affairs, and then to the current war.
"The spring planting season has arrived, and I am very worried that this war will cause a large number of people in various countries to starve to death. The King of Qi sent a letter, inviting me to Jixia Academy to serve as a grand ceremony. Xunzi
With such a wise man, how can I be the one to serve as a sacrificial wine? I was just wondering if I could ask the State of Qi to help me and lend food to other countries after the war. Starving to death is really a terrible thing..."
Zhao Kuo spoke seriously. Sikong Yi opened her eyes wide and just listened to Zhao Kuo's story, nodding her head from time to time. Whenever Zhao Kuo asked her if that was the case, she nodded.
The courtyard door was opened again, but it was Xiao Zhao Zheng who stuck his head out from the door and interrupted Zhao Kuo's remarks. He ran out and had already put on the "armor". Zhao Kuo was a little surprised and hurriedly smiled.
, asked him to come over, picked him up, looked at his clothes carefully, and asked: "Who made this for you?"
"Mother!"
Zhao Kuo was surprised. He didn't expect Zhao Ji to have such skills. He really didn't expect it. He put Zhao Zheng down and asked again: "What are you doing here?"
"The eldest mother asked me... No, I want to get some fruits to eat." Xiao Zhao Zheng said seriously. Zhao Kuo smiled and said, "Then you go ahead." The little guy rushed in.
Zhao Kuo went inside to get the fruit. Zhao Kuo looked at Sikong Yi. At this moment, he was no longer nervous. He continued: "My retainer Li Yu is helping Xu Li with disaster relief. I don't have enough food here, but fortunately everywhere
The noble man is still willing to lend it to me... It's a pity that Mr. Pingyuan is not here, he really had a lot of food... back then..."
"Have you seen medical officers in Handan? These people can save many people. By the way, there are also special doctors who specialize in treating women's diseases. This is a good thing for all women.
..." Zhao Kuo's words made Sikong Yi blush even more. He just hummed softly. Zhao Zheng quickly walked out of the courtyard, and the little guy staggered to the eldest mother in the distance.
around.
"How is it? Are they still chatting?" Mother Zhao asked hurriedly.
"We are chatting. I see that my father is very happy. He is telling his mother about the flood...and women's diseases..." Zhao Zheng said while eating the fruit without raising his head.
"hiss..."
.............
At this moment, Zhao Kuo also said he was tired. He took another sip of hot water and couldn't find the topic. After thinking seriously for a moment, he said with a smile: "Let's go for a walk?" Si Kong Yi nodded.
The head agreed to him, and the two stood up and walked out of the courtyard and walked on the road. Zhao Kuo bowed enthusiastically to the villagers he met. After these villagers returned the greeting, they saw the woman following him,
He was stunned for a moment and then hurriedly saluted.
Sikong Yi quickly returned the gift, and Zhao Kuo started talking again as he walked on the road.
"Now this is Mafu Township, not Mafu City anymore..."
"My father said: It only took you a few months to accomplish what Lord Xinling had not accomplished in two years. He also said that it would be great if Lord Xinling left Handan early and asked you to serve as the Prime Minister."
"You can't say that. In terms of running the country, I am not as good as Lord Xinling. I can only talk, but I can't do it. Don't look at me as if I know everything. In fact, I just know how to talk. If you really want me
If I do it myself, I'm afraid I'll screw everything up... Lord Xinling did the basic official duties, and others helped me with the rest. I just expressed my thoughts."
"Well...but it's not easy to say this..."
"I... am just an ordinary person."
The more the two chatted, the happier they became. Sikong Yi also plucked up the courage and started talking to Zhao Kuo. Most of what she talked about was her father's daily views on government affairs and everyone's views. She heard many different opinions from Zhao Kuo.
She found that the man next to her had a kind of magic that made people intoxicated. He was tall, strong, humble, kind, and kind. Whenever he frowned and talked about his many worries, it especially made people laugh.
Intoxicated.
Zhao Kuo is the dream lover of all young women in the Zhao Kingdom. He is handsome and benevolent. He is good at fighting and saved the Zhao Kingdom. Naturally, there are many people who want to marry him, but no one dares to come.
Zhao's mother was the matchmaker, because in this country it is too easy for men to make others feel inferior, and they did not have the courage to pick up this legendary man. Sikong Yi had also heard many, many stories about Zhao Kuo.
Zhao people spread his words and deeds everywhere, and they were all proud of him. Si Kong Yi wanted to marry him, but did he like him in his heart? This was not necessarily the case. After seeing this man and talking to him now, Si Kong Yi felt that he
She was already fascinated and couldn't take her eyes away from him. She just wanted to take another look at him. After putting aside the light of those legends, she could clearly see the big boy in front of her.
He will also be nervous and anxious, he will also have a lot of worries in his heart, and he will also show off his behavior...but, he is very good.
Zhao Kuo did not notice these changes. He seemed to have just one more friend who could talk about his troubles. Sikong Yi seemed to be no different from Wei Wuji, because he also said these words when talking to Wei Wuji. On both sides of the road
In the arable land of the 19th century, the people had already begun to work. They were plowing the fields. During this period, iron plows had appeared, which were much stronger than bronze plows.
When plowing, you need to lift the iron plow to a certain height before plowing. However, the furrows plowed in this way are neither very straight nor very deep, so you have to plow twice. After plowing the second time
The direction of the first pass must be at right angles to the direction of the first pass. Oxen farming has been fully used during this period, saving a lot of people's manpower. However, the problem is that not all places have sufficient cattle.
Zhao Kuo looked at Ping Gong not far away in surprise and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Ping Gong...Didn't Wang Fan provide cattle for the common people? You are..." In the cultivated land not far away, Ping Gong was walking hard on the cultivated land with an iron plow, listening to
Hearing Zhao Kuo's voice, he put down the plow, looked at Zhao Kuo with some embarrassment, and said with a smile: "I don't have much arable land...don't bother...not to mention there aren't many oxen in the village...", Zhao Kuo
Kuo immediately understood that certain conditions were required for the government to lend cattle to the people for farming.
The first thing is to have enough cultivated land. The cultivated land area is too small and the right to use the cattle cannot be allocated. In other words, the cattle must be used last. Zhao Kuo does not blame Wang Fan in his heart. This just shows that Wang Fan
Fan's integrity showed that he was acting according to the system and did not lend it to Ping Gong because of his close relationship with him. Of course, it was probably because Ping Gong himself did not ask for it.
"How many times have I told you, if there is such a heavy job again, you just come to me directly..." Zhao Kuo said and quickly jumped off the farmland. Ping Gong was shocked and hurriedly stopped in front of Zhao Kuo.
None of them were willing to let Zhao Kuo come to help. Zhao Kuo laughed, picked up Ping Gong from the waist, and put him directly behind him. Then he stepped forward to lift the plow. Zhao Kuo exerted force, and the iron plow was immediately lifted up by him.
, Zhao Kuo started walking, looking very relaxed and comfortable.
Ping Gong looked at him at a loss, but his heart was full of self-blame.
Only then did Zhao Kuo remember that he was here for a blind date. He suddenly looked at the road. At some point, Si Kong Yi left. The surrounding area was empty and there was no one around. Zhao Kuo felt a little bitter in his heart, but he just
He smiled and didn't care. If he didn't think about it, he didn't like it. The worst he could do was get scolded by his mother again. It wasn't a big deal. The tall and strong figure pulled the iron plow and walked on the cultivated land without any difficulty.
"Mafujun~~"
Suddenly someone shouted.
Zhao Kuo raised his head, sweat rolling down his forehead.
Not far away, Sikong Yi struggled to pull an old cow and jumped into the field. She said, "I have cows here."
The sun shines on the earth.
The clean and beautiful underskirt was stained with mud. The girl struggled to pull the old cow, but she couldn't move it.
The old cow chewed grass slowly and moved its mouth.
Zhao Kuo laughed, stepped forward and took the rope from her hand.
"Thanks."
ps: Please pay attention to the activities in the book review area.
Also, I haven’t seen any comments praising this book or Lao Lang in the book review section recently. Because of my upright (stingy) character, I probably will never spend money to hire a sailor in my life, so my second and third sons might as well become a sailor for the time being.
Leave some good comments in the comment area and help me get more people to join in. I will be responsible for filling in the soil.
