Chapter 281: Departure
Speaking of this, Yang Youcai glanced at Cheng Xiaolian: "Your Highness, you are not a child anymore, although there are some things you don't want to do, but there is no way, we are out to fight the world, not between princes and nobles, if we are not careful, people's hearts will be scattered, and it will be difficult for us to do anything else." I know that His Royal Highness is a high-spirited person, there are some things that you are not willing to compromise and bow your head, Liu Bang definitely doesn't like Han Xin's arrogant person, but in order to destroy Chu, he can treat Han Xin as his father. β
Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "I understand what you mean." β
"Your Royal Highness, if this is a matter of wronging you, the minister will not be so arrogant in anything, just marry a few women, the minister has already said, if you don't like them, you will marry someone else in the future, but if the ministers' hearts are cold because of this matter, it will inevitably be a little more than worth the loss."
Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "I understand what you said, there will be no such thing in the future." He also figured it out, his historical task is to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, not to become a love saint, this is not an ancient romance, marrying only one sounds really good, but unless that person is Wu Sangui's daughter, the strength is far from enough.
Since they want to be tightly tied to Daming's chariot, let them be. Anyway, before there is no free love, the future life is not also a matchmaker to introduce and then start a family, his father may not have gone through the process of falling in love, but he has lived a very happy life. Besides, at this time, what kind of free love to talk about with a woman of this era, unless that woman also crossed over from later generations, it is impossible to talk about it at all.
What people pay attention to is that they are willing to talk only if they are devoted, and they will even talk to you if they are not devoted.
After correcting his mentality, he immediately stopped taking this matter seriously, and sure enough, after Mao Ruoling went back, Mao Jiajun took the initiative to ask for Mao Jiajun to be included in the military queue of the Ming Dynasty, and there was no longer the title of Mao Jiajun.
On the other side, the people of Fengge also came with news that their people had arrived in Chengdu and decided to take advantage of the chaos in Chengdu City to prop up the faΓ§ade.
The next day, Cheng Xiaolian said goodbye to Qin Yue and they went on the road, this time the team really seemed to be a big family, at least with female dependents.
Yang Youcai looked left and right: "Your Highness, there is one less." β
"What?"
"I remember there were three women in the camp, why did you take two of them? Doesn't that chill the rest of the girl? β
"What nonsense? Meng Yu and they followed Feng Ge to Chengdu City, saying that they were looking for a livelihood, Meng Dang is a smart person, and it is normal for him to be unwilling to get involved in our headless matter. By the way, how about the things I asked you to do in Kunming? β
Yang Youcai scratched his head: "Your Highness only has age and name, Kunming is in chaos, many neighbors have all fled to the countryside, and there is no news about them yet, but don't worry, they should not be in any danger." β
Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "I'm just thinking about those childhood playmates, if I can't find them for the time being, they shouldn't be in any danger, and getting them here now may not be better than them living at home, we can't take care of it ourselves." β
Mao Ruoling went out alone for the first time, and it was fresh to see everywhere, but the education she had received since she was a child also doomed her not to talk to those brocade guards, so she could only pull Xiao Qi to chat on the side.
"My name is Mao Ruoling, what's your name?"
"Little Seven."
"You have no sincerity like this, where is someone named Xiao Qi, is it possible that you don't even have a surname?"
"Master, they keep calling me Xiao Qi."
"Okay, okay, Xiao Qi is Xiao Qi, have you ever come out to play by yourself?"
"What to play?"
"It's just playing."
"What's the fun?"
"Look at the woods, and the stream next to them, and there is often a rabbit popping out of the woods."
Xiao Qi looked at Mao Ruoling as if he was looking at a monster: "When we were in a hurry, these things could be seen everywhere, nothing fun, if you want to say fun, it is still fun to say that the temple fair in the city is fun, there are candy blowers and tricks, I will take you there in the future, you will know that those things are called fun." β
"What is a candy blower?"
"What did you do at home before?"
"Reading and painting, practicing martial arts and playing the piano."
Xiao Qi's eyes widened: "So you are a piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you are proficient in all eighteen martial arts?" This sentence is not right for the donkey's mouth, but Mao Ruoling seems to understand: "But except for martial arts, other things are not very good, and those uncles also said that maybe the old man does not want the Mao family to be extinct, so the woman has the temperament of a man." β
Xiao Qi laughed: "You are much better than me, my martial arts are not good, and I don't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." β
"And what did you study before?"
"The trick of doing business, a few years ago, we all followed the master, and then watched her go to a place and take the account book to inspect our business skills."
Mao Ruoling didn't say anything, but she was muttering in her heart, where is there anyone who lets her daughter's family learn to do business these days, and besides, her daughter's family always needs a family, and she must not show her face when the time comes, what's the use of learning this. But it's not that she doesn't know anything about children, and she would rather miss the privacy and pain points of others than mention them easily.
Yang Youcai glanced at the two girls who were chatting hotly, and smiled at Cheng Xiaolian: "The harem is harmonious, and Your Highness is lucky." β
Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "I promised you, no more child's play, you are not allowed to make fun of me anymore." β
"What I said is true, judging from my ability to observe words and emotions for many years, these two people are not acting on the spot, as long as this woman has fewer means of killing each other, His Highness will be able to have fewer headaches."
Cheng Xiaolian coughed: "Okay, let's not talk about this, where are we going now?" β
"There is a small village two hundred miles southwest of Chengdu, and it is said that Lord Luo has already rested there, but I don't know if he will stay. This time it was our luck that he moved a lot when he fled with his family at night, which alarmed the nearby Jinyi guard, otherwise it would have really made this kid run away. β
Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "Lawson is indeed quite capable of running, how far are we from there?" β
"It's not far, it's only five days' journey if it's fast."
Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "The people in that village won't know his true identity, but there is no need to figure out his number, when the time comes, he is unwilling to go with us, and he can't let go of a living mouth, if the surrounding soldiers know our news, we will not be able to escape." β
"Your Highness, rest assured, we are all familiar with these things, and there will never be such a big mistake. In addition, there is also bad news, it is said that Zheng Jiaolin ran to the northeast, probably to Hanzhong to transfer troops. β
