Chapter 162 Father and daughter recognize each other! Zhao's difficulties!
"Mom, have you ever met Doctor Xia?"
Zhao Feng turned his head and looked at his mother and asked.
"know."
Zhao nodded, with waves of emotion in her eyes.
"Doctor Xia is the head of the medical family, and mother can be considered as his disciple." Zhao suppressed her panic and said calmly.
"No wonder mother's medical skills are so great, it turns out she learned from Dr. Xia."
"Then Doctor Xia has really found the right place this time." Zhao Feng said with a smile.
"Feng boy."
At this time!
A figure walked over quickly, and when he saw Zhao Feng, he immediately shouted with a smile.
Hearing this!
Zhao Feng also showed joy in his eyes: "Grandpa Wu."
"I haven't seen you for four years."
"I just came back and haven't had time to greet you yet."
Zhao Feng naturally attached great importance to Wu Lizheng, because his family had been taken care of by Wu Lizheng in the past. If it were not for him, his family would have no land to farm and his mother would not be able to take care of him and his sister alone.
"I'm glad you're back."
"Honestly."
"When you went to the battlefield, I was really worried that something might happen to you. Now you are back and have become a great general."
"I'm happy for you too." Wu Lizheng said with a smile.
For him, he naturally regarded Zhao Feng and his sister as his grandchildren.
"Grandpa Wu, Zhao Feng will never forget your great kindness to our family." Zhao Feng said in a firm tone.
Seeing Zhao Feng like this, Wu Lizheng smiled with relief, but then said: "Hearing that you are back, many villagers outside the palace want to see you, and also to express their gratitude to you."
"What are you thanking me for?" Zhao Feng looked confused.
"elder brother."
"We have distributed all your title land to the villagers to cultivate, and we only collect a symbolic rent. Because of you, the villagers are living a prosperous life." Zhao Ying said with a smile.
Hearing this!
Zhao Feng then smiled and nodded: "These are all trivial matters, there is no need to be so serious."
“It may be a small thing for you, but it is a great favor to the folks.”
"Let's go meet them." Wu Lizheng said.
"Okay." Zhao Feng nodded, then turned to Xia Wuqie and said, "Mom, make some arrangements for Doctor Xia. I'll go meet the villagers first."
Zhao nodded slightly.
"Ying'er, take us back to the room first."
"I think mother and Doctor Xia seem to have something to say."
Wang Yan smiled, held the hands of the two little ones, and then said to Zhao Ying.
Although she had left the army, Wang Yan was still observant. She just noticed that her mother-in-law had a strange expression on her face when she saw Xia Wuqie.
It seems like there is some hidden secret.
In order to give the two of them a chance to be alone, Wang Yan simply sent Zhao Ying away.
certainly.
Wang Yan could also feel that her mother-in-law and Xia Wuqi seemed to really know each other.
Considering her mother-in-law's medical skills, perhaps she really is Xia Wuqie's disciple. Even if not, there would be some connection.
"sister in law."
"Come with me."
Zhao Ying also happily led her sister-in-law into the house.
here.
Only Zhao and Xia Wuqi were left staring at each other.
This continued for quite a while.
Zhao sighed, "Come with me."
Xia Wuqie didn't say anything and just followed Zhao quietly.
soon.
The father and daughter came to the thatched cottage and small courtyard of the Zhao Mansion.
Although a mansion was built, Zhao always lived in this thatched hut.
After there are no outsiders.
Zhao knelt directly in front of Xia Wuqie.
"father."
"The daughter is unfilial."
Zhao said with tears in her eyes.
See this.
Xia Wuqie hurried forward and helped Zhao up.
"Dong'er."
"What are you talking about?"
"You are not unfilial, it's your father who failed to protect you."
"It's all because of Dad."
"If Dad had been able to protect you, nothing would have happened."
"You have suffered over the years."
"Dad, I'm sorry."
Xia Wuqi also looked at his daughter with tears in his eyes, and immediately hugged her tightly and helped her up.
"father."
"I have not served you for twenty-one years. I am an unfilial daughter."
"Even though I know my father is in Xianyang, I dare not go to visit him. This is even more unfilial."
"daughter……"
Having said that.
Zhao couldn't hold it back and tears started to flow down her face.
The father and daughter had a lot to say to each other.
But Xia Wuqie also understood the reasons for everything.
He also saw what happened with his own eyes, and saw the darkness behind those powerful people. He knew very well that if his daughter had not hidden here, she would not be alive, and his grandson would not have grown up to this age.
"Zhao Feng and Zhao Ying are the king's children, right?" Xia Wuqie asked tentatively.
After so many years, Xia Wuqi still wanted to confirm it.
Although the time and age match.
But when Zhao Feng became a general, his background had already been thoroughly investigated by the Black Ice Platform and there was no problem at all.
His father was an old soldier from Changping who had died in battle for his country long ago, and Zhao Feng's mother was an ordinary woman from a sand village.
"yes."
Zhao nodded: "I was already pregnant when I fled to the dunes."
"Then why is there no trace of you in Zhao Feng's information? Didn't his father die in Handan?"
"All these great kings know about it, and he has no doubts at all."
"Even if the information doesn't match at all, the king will be able to see it." Xia Wuqi said in surprise.
"Thanks to Wu Lizheng from Sand Village."
"He was the one who took me in when I fled to Sand Village."
"As for the one who died in the battle of Handan, he was the son of one of his apprentices," Zhao explained.
"But aren't the people in this village strange?"
"Shouldn't it be?" Xia Wuqie became even more confused.
There were originally only a few hundred people in this village. We saw each other everywhere. How could we not recognize each other?
"Maybe what happened back then was God's way of giving our family of three a chance to survive."
"After Wu Lizheng's apprentice's son went to the battlefield, his apprentice's daughter-in-law left the village and never came back. There is no news from her anymore."
"I just happened to take her place."
"And Zhao Feng's father also recorded the son of his apprentice."
"My real name happens to be Zhao." Zhao replied.
"I see."
Xia Wuqi suddenly realized.
Based on his understanding of his daughter, he knew that she would not look for anyone else.
But I can also imagine how hard my daughter has been going through these years.
"Dong'er."
"If your father hadn't found you, would you not have gone to Xianyang?" Xia Wuqi asked.
"father."
"You know."
"Although so many years have passed, once I go, Feng'er and Ying'er will be in danger."
"Those people would do anything for the throne."
"I don't want to, I really don't want them to step into danger."
"Even though Feng'er has reached a high position now, he can't avoid it. Once it really comes to that, those people will go crazy and want Feng'er's life."
"I don't want anything else in this life. As long as Feng'er and Ying'er can live in peace, that's enough."
"Besides, Feng'er is not bad now. He is the highest official in the country. This is enough." Zhao said with a smile.
Xia Wuqie's old face was full of confusion: "Don't you miss Zheng'er? Do you really not want to see him?"
"Dad has been looking for you these years, but Zheng'er has also been looking for you like crazy. After Zhao was destroyed, Zheng'er even went to Handan specifically to find you because he thought you would be there."
"For you, he hasn't even appointed a queen until now." Xia Wuqi said with some reluctance.
Obviously.
He wanted his daughter to meet Ying Zheng.
At least it allowed Ying Zheng to fulfill his wish.
"Dad, you know him, but I know him better."
"Once he knows I'm here, he will come here regardless of everything. He will do everything to recognize Feng'er and the others."
"By that time, Feng'er will become the target of public criticism."
"Although Feng'er has great power now, and Brother Zheng has truly taken control of the Qin State, those big families and royal families will do anything for that position."
"I don't want anything to happen to Feng'er."
"As long as Feng'er and Ying'er can live in peace, I would be willing to die." Zhao said firmly.
Looking at his daughter's attitude, Xia Wuqi nodded helplessly.
And at this moment.
Outside the mansion.
Even in the dark, there was a large crowd of people gathered outside the mansion.
They were all from Sha Village. In addition to the villagers that Zhao Feng was familiar with, there were also many villagers from outside.
At this moment, most people come here with the intention of watching the fun.
"Zhao Feng is out."
"Zhao boy, you finally came out."
"Our Sha Village has really made great progress with the emergence of Zhao."
"Zhao boy, I'm Uncle Li from your next door. Do you still remember me?"
"Zhao Feng...I am Aunt Zhao..."
One by one, the villagers who were once familiar with Zhao Feng shouted.
These were all Zhao Feng’s elders, and they had taken good care of Zhao Feng’s family.
certainly.
There were also many people who had been indifferent before and were shouting, as if they wanted to establish a relationship with Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng naturally nodded in response to these.
"Folks."
"I haven't been home for four years."
"Since the villagers are here today."
"Then I, Zhao Feng, will announce a piece of news."
"Three days later, I, Zhao Feng, will hold a banquet in my mansion. It will be my wife's wedding banquet. Firstly, I will give my mother an explanation, and secondly, I will thank the villagers for their care for my Zhao family."
"Three days later, all the villagers of Sha Village can come to the banquet." Zhao Feng said loudly.
"The general is generous."
"I will definitely come to the banquet."
"Thank you, General..."
Among the crowd, voices of gratitude and flattery were heard everywhere.
This is the change that comes with power.
Once people have power, they will be surrounded by good people. Now, Zhao Feng is surrounded by good people because no one dares to offend him.
He is a general, a powerful official in the court, and holds military power. Who would dare to offend him?
"Grandpa Wu."
"I'd like to trouble you to take my personal guards to purchase the supplies for the banquet." Zhao Feng turned his head and looked at Wu Lizheng and said.
"Don't worry."
"I will definitely make it beautiful for you." Wu Lizheng said with a smile.
"Admiral."
"I can help, too."
"We can go to the county town to purchase what we need for the banquet. The county town has the most complete selection of things we need." Yan Bing said very respectfully.
"Thank you, County Magistrate Yan." Zhao Feng said with a smile.
"You are too polite, General. It is my honor."
"I wonder if I will have the honor to attend the banquet in three days?" Yan Bing asked tentatively.
"Over the years, County Magistrate Yan has taken good care of my mother and sister, and I should thank you for that."
"Of course, County Magistrate Yan cannot be absent from this banquet." Zhao Feng said with a smile.
Hear this.
Yan Bing was very excited: "Yes, yes, thank you, General."
Finished explaining.
Zhao Feng also waved goodbye to his fellow villagers and then returned to his mansion.
"Where are mother and Doctor Xia?"
As soon as I came back.
He also didn't see his mother or Doctor Xia.
"Admiral."
"The old lady and Dr. Xia went to the small house."
A maid said respectfully.
Hearing this.
Zhao Feng nodded and walked towards the original small house.
Although he had been away for four years, how could Zhao Feng forget the location of his original home? That was where he had lived for sixteen years.
After a while.
He saw three thatched houses from afar. Returning home and seeing them again made Zhao Feng feel excited.
But then I saw the endless palaces surrounding this small house.
Zhao Feng also felt a sense of regret in his heart: "Things have changed and people have changed."
“In four years, I didn’t expect there to be such a big change.”
At this time! Zhao Feng also saw Xia Wuqie and Zhao sitting in the yard.
After such a long time, the two of them had calmed down and Zhao was making tea for Xia Wuqie.
"It seems that Doctor Xia really knows my mother."
Zhao Feng walked slowly towards him and said with a smile.
"Yes, I do know him." Xia Wuqie smiled slightly.
"Feng'er."
"Dr. Xia is your great master."
"When I first started learning medicine, I studied under Dr. Xia." Zhao said with a very calm expression.
"So it seems that Doctor Xia was not wrong. The bracelet really belongs to his old friend." Zhao Feng looked as if he had suddenly realized something.
Zhao nodded and said with a smile, "Dr. Xia had certainly seen this bracelet before."
"It seems like this is really fate."
"If it wasn't for Doctor Xia taking Yan'er's pulse, he wouldn't have known that mother was an old friend." Zhao Feng smiled with emotion.
"It is fate indeed."
To this.
Xia Wuqi nodded heavily.
I thought to myself, "If I hadn't seen this bracelet, I might never have come to this dune, let alone met Dong'er."
"By the way, mother, have you arranged accommodation for Dr. Xia?" Zhao Feng asked.
"Don't worry, mother has already told us everything and everything has been packed."
"Go and do whatever you need, and don't bother with us." Zhao waved her hand at Zhao Feng.
"All right."
"Then you two can have a good chat about the past."
To this.
Zhao Feng smiled, without any doubt, turned around and left.
Zhao Feng was undoubtedly very happy to return to his hometown.
Take a rest tonight and talk about it tomorrow.
Back to the room! "Where are the two little ones?"
Seeing that there was no sign of Zhao Qi and Zhao Ling in the room, Zhao Feng asked in surprise.
"They went to pester their aunt." Wang Yan smiled slightly.
"That's right." Zhao Feng nodded.
"Husband."
"Do you think that there was something wrong with Doctor Xia's expression when he saw my mother today?" Wang Yan asked in a somewhat strange tone.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Feng asked in surprise.
"I can't explain it. I just feel like they are hiding something." Wang Yan said with a strong feeling.
Zhao Feng smiled and shook his head: "You think too much. Doctor Xia is indeed acquainted with my mother. My mother just said that he once studied medicine under Doctor Xia, and Doctor Xia also saw this bracelet at that time."
"I see."
Wang Yan nodded suddenly, but she still felt something was strange in her heart. After all, the look in Xia Wuqie's eyes when he looked at her mother-in-law before always felt that they were more than just old friends.
"Okay, don't think about it."
"We've been traveling a lot these days, so let's go to sleep first."
"I haven't slept at home for a long time." Zhao Feng smiled and hugged Wang Yan directly to the bed.
…
A night passed.
The original small house.
For four years, the family sat together and had breakfast.
This meal was prepared by Zhao herself for Zhao Feng.
"I haven't eaten the cakes my mother made for four years. I really miss them."
Zhao Feng said with a smile while biting the cake.
"Eat more if you miss it." Zhao said with great concern.
"elder brother."
"How much rest did the king give you this time?" Zhao Ying asked.
"One month." Zhao Feng replied.
"Only one month?" Zhao Ying was a little disappointed.
"What do you mean only one month?"
“This is already very long.”
"Your brother is now a general, but the camp has not yet been established. After the rest period, I will return to Xianyang to discuss the establishment of the camp with the king."
"The establishment of a large camp is related to the foundation of the country."
"This matter cannot be delayed." Zhao Feng explained.
Naturally, he wanted to stay at home more, but the King of Qin valued him so much. Although he would have thoughts about the end of Qin in the future, the King of Qin was still alive now. He valued him so much, so Zhao Feng would naturally do his best to treat him.
Moreover, after the camp is established, the official seal of luck belonging to the general can also be condensed, which will also enhance Zhao Feng's strength to a certain extent.
"I don't know why the camp disagrees."
"All I know is that you've been away for four years, and you've only been on leave for a month since you finally came back."
"This king is really too stingy." Zhao Ying pouted and said very dissatisfiedly.
In front of outsiders, Zhao Ying is an elegant girl, but in front of her brother and mother, she is a little girl with a bad temper.
"You only need to say this at home, but don't talk about it outside, or I'll catch you and spank you." Zhao Feng threatened his sister.
"I'm not afraid."
"Unless this king is really that stingy." Zhao Ying snorted.
"Speaking of which."
"Little sister."
Zhao Feng suddenly smiled and looked at Zhao Ying.
"What?" Zhao Ying looked at Zhao Feng suspiciously, always feeling that her brother was up to something bad.
"You are twenty years old, already a grown-up girl. Do you think I should find a man to marry you off?" Zhao Feng suddenly teased.
"You dare."
"I won't marry."
Zhao Ying's face suddenly turned stern.
certainly.
Strictly speaking, Zhao Feng could indeed find a marriage for her.
After all, they no longer have a father, because the eldest brother is like a father, and Zhao Feng is now the head of the family.
You can make the decision for her.
"You're already twenty years old."
"If you're not married yet, do you really want to become an old maid?"
Speaking of this, Zhao Feng was still a little worried.
After all, in this era, girls started getting married at the age of thirteen or fourteen. Although I am very open-minded, this era is not open-minded. Could it be that my sister really won't get married in the future?
"Anyway, I'm not getting married now."
“I haven’t met any good ones.”
"Let's talk about it when we meet in the future." Zhao Ying said firmly.
"You stay at home all day, how can you find it?"
"Come on." Zhao Feng said unhappily.
"How can we be sure of something like fate?"
"Didn't you and sister-in-law meet by chance?" Zhao Ying said very reasonably.
Mention this.
Zhao Feng couldn't help but laugh: "Do you also want to join the army? Find someone in the army?"
"Hmph." Zhao Ying snorted proudly.
"Husband, let Ying'er handle this matter."
"She is your sister. Once she goes to Xianyang, she will have access to as many talented men as she wants. Who would dare to treat Ying'er badly?" Wang Yan spoke for Zhao Ying.
Now that she is the eldest sister-in-law and comes from a prominent family, she naturally has a certain aura.
"Sister-in-law is the best." Zhao Ying immediately hugged Wang Yan's arm and acted coquettishly.
"Feng'er."
"You said you wanted to hold a wedding banquet, are everything ready?" Zhao asked with concern.
Ever since she gave birth to a pair of children, her biggest concern has been their marriage.
Although Zhao Feng has held it once in Xianyang, he still wants to hold it once in Sha Village.
"Speaking of which."
"When we were in Xianyang, the king even treated my husband as an elder."
