"I'm not in a hurry. I just want to remind you not to forget to compensate me with silver before you leave." Qin Zhao poured himself a cup of tea, speaking slowly.
Xiao Yue: "What silver?"
Qin Zhao pulled a piece of letter paper from his sleeve and pushed it in front of Xiao Yue. "Last night, you kicked and broke three flower pots and two ceramic cups in my house, and you also smashed the flower bed in front of the study. This is the silver you need to compensate me for at double the price."
Xiao Yue was shocked: "Those junk of yours are worth ten taels???"
Qin Zhao: "If you don't believe me, I can take you to the market to ask."
Xiao Yue: “…”
The great general who protected the country and the former regent made a special trip to the market just for ten taels of silver.
This picture is weird no matter how you look at it.
"Fine, I'm unlucky." Xiao Yue slapped a banknote on the table and said disdainfully, "It's just ten taels of silver. This general won't argue with you."
Qin Zhao winked and asked Ah Qi to come up and take the banknotes.
Xiao Yue cursed and muttered a few words, and the sound of children's laughter came through the window. He pushed the window open a little and saw Xiao Yuzai wearing a red coat, running unsteadily across the snow.
The kid bent down, picked up a handful of snow, and threw it hard, and the broken snow flew all over the yard.
"If it were in the past, I would never have imagined that you could live such a life." Xiao Yue suddenly felt a little emotional.
Qin Zhao: "What day?"
"Marry a wife, have children, and take care of the daily necessities of life." Xiao Yue's gaze was fixed on the small figure in the yard. "People like us, who play with power and have blood on our hands, are blessed by God for not ending up with our heads and bodies torn apart and deserted by our friends and relatives. How could we dare to dream of anything else?"
Qin Zhao laughed: "So, God has been kind to me."
"It's more than just being kind, it's clearly being too kind to you." Xiao Yue sighed, "I'm not a child anymore. I don't know when I can find a wife as beautiful as yours."
Qin Zhao: "Then you might as well hope that everything goes well for me, and that you can return to your homeland as soon as possible, without having to hide in the frontier."
"I hope so."
Xiao Yue laughed out loud and raised his glass to clink with Qin Zhao's.
The two of them had known each other for many years and could be considered old friends, but unfortunately, power eventually led to their separation. If it were before, Xiao Yue would never have imagined that he would be so calm and composed as to sit down and drink tea with Qin Zhao.
Not to mention working together towards the same goal.
Xiao Yue raised his eyes and looked at the person sitting opposite him.
He had never seen Qin Shu like this.
Gentle, calm, as if all sharp edges have been smoothed out.
But he just felt that Qin Shu was even more terrifying than before.
It's like the calm before the storm.
Suddenly there was a noise outside the window. Xiao Yue turned his head to look over. The little fish had come to the window at some point and was sticking its head out to look inside.
The little fish was lying in the corner, with a little white dust from the wall rubbed on the front of his clothes.
The half-open window sill was much higher than he was. The kid jumped a few times on the spot but didn't even touch the edge of the window.
Even though this little brat had the exact same annoying face as Qin Zhao, Xiao Yue couldn't help but feel soft at heart when he saw his cute appearance, and even his smile became gentle: "What's wrong, do you want to play with uncle?"
The little fish cub looked up at him and blinked blankly.
Xiao Yue simply opened the window completely, leaned over the window sill, stretched out his hand to him, and said kindly: "Come here, uncle will hold you."
The little fish didn't move. He just stared at Xiao Yue without blinking. Suddenly, his mouth pursed and he burst into tears.
Xiao Yue: “?”
The little fish cub cried heartbreakingly, frightening the two people in the room and making them at a loss. Before they could react, the little cub turned around and ran out, throwing himself into Jing Li's arms not far away.
Cried even more sadly.
“…”
In the end, it was Qin Zhao who reacted first and said to Xiao Yue, "I can count on one hand the number of times my son has cried since he was born. You're really good at scaring him to tears just by smiling."
Xiao Yue: “…”
