A neat and elegant small courtyard.
The autumn sun is warm on the body, neither too hot nor too dry. With the occasional breeze, the climate is mild and moderate, and especially comfortable.
The mother and her two children set up a few lounge chairs and a small table in the yard and lived in harmony.
Zi Ye picked up a pile of small stones, picked up one, and threw it out, accurately knocking down a leaf more than ten meters away.
He picked up another one and threw it, hitting a blade of grass on the courtyard wall.
Qin Ye was surprised: "It's very accurate."
Zi Ye is active and has been interested in martial arts and military tactics since he was young. Influenced by Zong Zhengchen, he has achieved great accomplishments in this area.
The little man patted his chest and said, "With Ziye here, bad guys won't be able to get within three meters of my mother in the future."
"Ha ha!"
This little baby is so sweet.
Qin Ye took a bunch of grapes from the fruit plate, lay leisurely on the soft chair to bask in the sun, and looked lazily at Wei Xi beside him.
Wei Xi is reading a book.
The little girl sat cross-legged with a heavy book spread out on her legs. She lowered her head and read attentively.
Qin Ye held a grape in his mouth and said, "People of your age would have already played and disappeared, but you are able to read this difficult, complicated and boring medical book. It's really rare."
At the same time, I became deeply interested.
She wanted to raise this child.
Wei Xi raised her head, her crescent-shaped eyes curved into a smile, looking so well-behaved and cute.
"Princess, someone is coming." The butler led a man in.
Qin Ye looked up.
The beggar man got familiar with the place briefly, then changed into a clean brown coarse cloth. He was nearly 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. Although he had a very ordinary face, he stood straight and looked straight ahead. Inexplicably, he exuded a sense of dignity and oppression.
He came over, bowed and clasped his hands:
"Princess, you have been kind to me. From today on, I am yours!"
Qin Ye laughed, "I only paid ten taels of silver, which is not enough to buy your life. Just follow the housekeeper and do the work."
The housekeeper thought for a moment and said, "The stable is still short of someone to feed the horses. Why don't we let him do that?"
Qin Ye said lazily: "Well, it's okay."
Zong Zhengchen: “…”
Wei Xi and Zi Ye couldn't sit still anymore. One threw a stone and the other threw a book and hurried over.
"Mother, he's so tall, isn't it a bit of a waste to let him feed the horses?" Wei Xi said, "Look at his size, he looks very safe, it's perfect to let him be your bodyguard to protect you!"
Zi Ye nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Qin Ye paused. Isn't it too dangerous to let a stranger be her bodyguard?
"But he doesn't know martial arts."
"He can learn!" Ziye said hurriedly, "Besides, you buried his father, he is grateful to you and loyal to you. If you encounter any danger in the future, he will protect you with his life."
"Having him by your side is like having an extra life. Isn't that great?"
The brother and sister gave sincere advice.
Qin Ye touched his head.
Why do I feel like these two little guys are a little weird today?
"Wei Xi, Zi Ye, you are still young, you don't know the truth that it is better to be safe than sorry." Qin Ye said to the housekeeper, "Take him to the stable and let him feed the horses."
Zong Zhengchen's eyes darkened.
If he went to the stable, how could he be with her day and night?
Wei Xi squeezed her eyes hard and winked at him: Hurry up and show your strengths so that you can stay here.
Even though Zong Zhengchen had never done such a humble thing, today, for the sake of his wife, he made up a story:
"Princess, I don't know how to feed horses, but I can cook, make meals, wash clothes, weed, plant flowers, and protect you. Please stay with me, and I will repay you!"
After hearing this, Ziye was the first to jump up and slap his thigh:
"Mother, look how versatile and amazing he is! It's such a shame to let such an outstanding man feed horses!"
Wei Xi hung on the man's arm and started moving up and down.
"Mom, look! He's so strong!"
"He can lift me and my brother up with one hand, and he can play with us!"
