Chapter 48: Ji Niao Returns to the Capital [Jinjiang Authentic Edition Only Released·It seems a bit...
Seeing the little guy pretending to be dumb, Wang Ling could only hold her forehead with a headache and waved her hand helplessly, "Alright, alright, Mother won't ask any more questions. Just continue drinking your water."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ying happily held her bottle and started slurping milk.
Seeing his son drinking water so obediently, Wang Ling felt more confused than before.
As the hostess of the house, she naturally noticed that the two "Yings" in the house, one big and one small, did not seem to be familiar with each other at all. In the past, she could attribute it to the fact that the timing was not right. Due to various practical reasons, the father and son did not have many opportunities to get along in the house, so they were not familiar with each other.
After spending a long time together, the father and son will naturally become close.
But the incident today at the Imperial Farm where people were referring to a horse as their father had made her acutely aware that this attitude should apply to her beloved! But it clearly didn't apply to her son! Although her son was very young, he seemed to have a certain "knot" towards his father.
The specific manifestation is that the little fat boy's admiration and worship for his grandfather is revealed in his eyes every day, and for his father, let alone "worship", the trace of "admiration" is as light as the morning dew, which disappears without a trace if you are not careful, so "shameful".
Today, the little fat boy had no scruples about teasing his father in front of the courtiers at the imperial farm. Whatever the underlying reason, the outcome was only one: in the little fat boy's mind, he believed that as long as he had his grandfather and mother, that was all he needed! His father, who was always busy and never home, whom he rarely saw, was dispensable to him!
This clear and logical conjecture made Wang Holmes' eyelids jump.
As the daughter of a military commander whose grandfather was a "Marquis", whose father was a "Marquis", and whose brother would be a "Marquis" in the future, Wang Ling had keen observation skills. When she was at her mother's house, although the family was prominent, the family was still simple in population, and the family life of three generations of grandparents and grandchildren was very harmonious.
The Wang family is "Ji surname Wang". Under the general background of "males are called by their clan names and females are called by their surnames", she, as the eldest daughter in the family, was not called "Ji Ling" but "Wang Ling". This indirectly shows that she was not only highly valued by the family when she was born, but also got along well with her eldest father Wang Jian and her father Wang Ben. Because of her happy family, Wang Ling could not understand why her young son, who could not even speak clearly, was not close to his father?
It would be fine if Ying was young and ignorant now, but if he still didn't want to get close to his father when he grew up, sooner or later a rift would arise between father and son. What would he do then?
As a mother, she is always thoughtful and naturally cares about many things. The more Wang Ling thought about it, the more worries she had in her heart, and her beautiful willow-shaped eyebrows couldn't help but frown.
Little Fatty Ying, completely unaware of his mother's worries, drank his bottle with a "tump tump tump" sound. Then he pointed at the rosewood stroller that the craftsmen of the Shaofu had made for him, waved the empty bottle, and babbled to his mother expectantly.
Wang Ling understood what the little guy meant, so she shook her head helplessly, reached out to take her son's bottle and put it on the table, then picked up the little guy, put a sun hat on his head, stuffed him into the stroller and pushed him out.
…
In the land-scarce city of Xianyang, the back garden of the eldest prince's mansion covers an area of almost one acre, with rockery, streams, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants.
At dusk, the red setting sun is sliding slowly into the mountains.
Several cranes stretched their necks and gracefully pecked at the flowers growing by the stream.
Two beautiful cats, one calico and one tabby, were lying on a tree branch, yawning lazily with their mouths open.
Two big yellow dogs with shiny hair also hugged two big white bones, lying in the shade of the rockery, stretching out their wet tongues to lick them from head to tail, and then from tail to head, and they were inseparable from their "big bone brother".
A few green peacocks were leisurely strolling on the cobblestone path with their long tails dragging their heads. They saw a beautiful two-legged cub wearing a shiny hat, being pushed by another beautiful big two-legged creature on a wooden "four-legged creature" and walking slowly from the corridor.
The peacocks excitedly fluttered their wings, ready to stretch their necks and flutter their beautiful tails to fly off, displaying their screens. Unexpectedly, because they had no eyes on their backs, they were stabbed in the back! Just as they were about to spread their wings and take flight, before they could even flutter, the two-legged beasts weeding and watering nearby quickly grabbed their beaks and carried them away. They were afraid that these furry little ancestors wouldn't recognize the big and small kings in the palace, and if they accidentally startled the real little ancestor sitting in the stroller, even the auspicious dragon bird would be doomed!
Qin Ying, who was sitting in the stroller, happened to see this scene. She was slightly stunned, and then she was amused.
The little chubby boy sat in his special car, being pushed forward slowly by his mother. The summer breeze blowing from the lotus pond on both sides of the stroller was warm. Looking at the beautiful scenery in the garden and the leisurely little animals, the little guy couldn't help but squint his eyes comfortably and flexibly turn his two little feet. It was so comfortable.
I was pushed around by my mother for a stroll in the back garden. After more than two quarters of an hour, the red sunset in the west completely slipped below the horizon, and it was dark in a short while.
After dark, swarms of mosquitoes came out, making it impossible to relax in the back garden. The mother and son had to return the same way. After having dinner in the restaurant with candles, Qin Ying watched her mother leave. Under the care of the wet nurses, she used her hands and feet to exercise by crawling on the wooden floor.
After exercising for a quarter of an hour, the sweaty little baby was picked up from the wooden floor by wet nurse Qiu at the right moment and sent to the bathroom for a bath.
The little chubby boy, who was washed clean from inside to outside and whose fair skin was made pink and tender by the heat, was placed on the soft couch by wet nurse Qiu with a white sweat towel on his head, a black bellyband and a wet diaper on his body.
After her half-dried black hair was completely dried by the warm summer breeze blowing in from the window, Qin Ying was moved from the soft couch to the small rosewood bed by wet nurse Qiu.
The chubby boy, whose hands and feet were free again, quickly lay down on the small bed, called up the lottery page of the system, rubbed his hands together, and then slapped the big turntable on the light curtain.
After the big turntable spun a few times and slowly stopped, the wooden treasure chest opened, and a ball of golden light flew out from inside. After the dazzling light slowly dissipated, a rotating picture grew from small to large until it occupied the entire light curtain.
Seeing the unfamiliar image on the screen, Qin Ying couldn't help but blink in confusion: "What is this? A vegetable cellar?"
[The host truly deserves to be called a child of the Qin imperial family, daring to touch electrical wires with bare hands, creating sparks and lightning all the way!]
Ying·Little Fatty's eyes widened in shock. What the hell? "???" [No, that's a rumor! It's a complete rumor! I wouldn't dare!!! My whole family wouldn't dare!]
【You are absolutely winning! 】
Qin Ying: “…”
[The Random Blind Box System congratulates the lucky host for winning the fourth wheel draw in July—the cheapest practical outdoor safe house ever!]
[Bao~ [Mechanical Wink] Want a house with a simple structure and easy construction? [Fireworks] Bang~ Let's build a "dwelling"! ]
[Baby~ [Robot winks] Want a safe house that's warm in winter and cool in summer, and safe from the sun in summer and the cold in winter? [Fireworks] Bang~ Let's build a "dugout"! ]
[Bao~ [Mechanical wink] Do you want all the common people in the Great Qin Empire, from Qin in the west to Qi in the east, Chu in the south, and Yan in the north, to live in the most cost-effective housing, regardless of the terrain or climate?! [Fireworks] Bang~ Let's build a "dugout"!]
[Roar, roar, roar! "Dugout!" "Dugout!" "Dugout!" Cheap houses are a must-have for the common people of Daqin!]
[He has it! She has it! You deserve it too! [Mechanical blinking and spinning]]
[Where's the dish soap?! Detergent! Hurry and degrease this half-finished system!]
Listening to the joyful mechanical electronic sounds in his mind, watching the words and fireworks jumping on the light screen, and all kinds of emoticons that appeared randomly, Ying·Little Fatty tried hard to resist the embarrassment of wanting to dig his toes into the bed board, and seriously suspected that the data flow of this stupid system was disordered because of the high temperature outside today!
He frowned and carefully read the text description and detailed construction steps of the "dugouti" written on the screen from beginning to end.
After thoroughly understanding what this thing was, the little guy's brows slowly relaxed, and his big watery eyes instantly lit up. Although the tone of today's Ba Langtai system was a little greasy, it has to be said that the content was quite correct. "Diwozi" is indeed very useful!
This simple earthen building, warm in winter and cool in summer, spans a vast period of time! Not only can it be used by common people in the Qin Dynasty today, but even in later generations, you can still see it in the Western Regions!
In terms of sturdiness alone, the dugout is far superior to the thatched hut!
The fat kid satisfiedly stored the blueprint of the dugout into the system space. In his excitement, he subconsciously took a picture of the large turntable, and saw a line of black Chinese characters and a large red exclamation mark pop up on the screen:
[I'm so sorry, dear~ Your lucky draw entries for July have all been used up. If you're satisfied, please come back in August~]
Seeing this line of text, Qin Ying couldn't help but slap her forehead with her little hand, then called up the page of the system space, looked at the four prizes she had drawn in the past two days, thought about what she would say to her grandfather after entering the palace tomorrow, rubbed her face against the smooth silk quilt, closed her eyes contentedly and fell asleep.
The next day, when the little fellow excitedly went to Zhangtai Palace and presented his grandfather with the four new treasures given by the Xuanniao, including the picture of the farm tool "rake", the pattern of the three-piece horse - stirrup, saddle and horseshoe, the "Secret Book of Ancient Iron Smelting" and the plan of building a dugout, the little fellow was unsurprisingly given the "Simba-style lift" again in front of his grandfather's surprised eyes!
Each of the four treasures is more desirable than the other, and each one is more important than the other!
After the summer harvest, we need to clear the fields and plant winter wheat. The pictures of the new farm tools come just in time!
If you want to develop the Qin cavalry and extend the service life of war horses, the three-piece set of drawings is extremely clever!
The secret book of iron smelting is related to the enhancement of Daqin's strength, and its importance is incomparable!
As soon as the midsummer ends, the weather turns cold. It takes half a month to prepare. When the weather cools down and autumn comes, when the temperature is neither hot nor cold, the common people, led by their respective heads of villages, dig their own dugouts and dry them. They hope that when the snow falls in winter, the thatched huts will collapse, and the number of common people who freeze to death will be reduced!
The joy in the heart of His Majesty the Emperor was beyond words. He just kept dragging the ministers in the court to work overtime in a hurry, with four lines of work running in parallel!
While his grandfather was busy handling government affairs and convening ministers to discuss politics, Qin Ying used her hands and feet like a "sweeping robot" to crawl from east to west and from south to north on the wooden floor of Zhangtai Palace.
When Qin Ying, the little fat boy, heard the mechanical electronic voice of the system in his mind announcing, "Congratulations to the host for successfully completing the temporary mission 'Fatherly Kindness and Filial Piety'! Reward: a chance to win a blind box!", he knew that the people sent by his grandfather beyond the Great Wall had successfully found his unfortunate father, and that his biological father was about to return from the Great Wall!
…
In a blink of an eye, more than half a month passed quietly.
At the end of July, the sudden summer rainstorms were slowly replaced by the patter of autumn rain. The lush green leaves of the century-old locust trees in the Qin Palace turned yellow little by little under the erosion of the autumn rain. In the 26th year of Qin Shihuang's reign, the long summer was finally declared over.
The cool breeze was blowing and the autumn air was crisp. The ten-month-old chubby Ying took off his summer clothes and put on autumn clothes, took off his "ruffled sun hat" and put on a "golden tiger-head hat" to block the wind and protect his head. He was held by his grandfather in a black robe and stood on the sky bridge connecting the palaces. After looking at the palaces of various shapes on the north bank of the Wei River, he excitedly pointed at the flock of geese flying in a "big" shape in the blue sky above his head, with their wings spread elegantly towards the southeast. With his eyes shining, he tilted his little head and said a series of joyful baby sounds to his grandfather.
The First Emperor also nodded with a smile in his eyes and said, "Hahaha, Ying is right. The weather is getting cold, and the wild geese have to fly to warm places to spend the winter. They are migratory birds."
The weather was getting colder. Although he was not a "migratory bird", he had stayed outside the Great Wall for almost a season and could almost be considered a "seasonal bird". After receiving the imperial edict from his father, Prince Fusu quickly finished his mission outside the Great Wall. Before his coming-of-age ceremony, he rushed back to Xianyang from the Great Wall with Meng Yi and other elite palace soldiers.
However, after only one summer away, the eldest son, whose skin had become darker and rougher, had not yet had time to go home to dress up and go to the palace to pay a visit to his father and mother, found that the nobles in Xianyang seemed to have collectively not recognized him. The nobles he met on the road not only looked at the black horse he was riding with strange eyes, but also looked at him even more strangely!
His father-in-law even rode his horse to block the Weishui Bridge leading to the royal city. He stretched out his thick, rough hand, patted his shoulder, shook his head, and finally uttered a sentence: "My dear, it is important that you complete the tasks assigned by His Majesty with quality and quantity, but it is also important to maintain a good relationship between father and son. Alas..."
Not knowing the truth, Fusu, who seemed to understand what was said, subconsciously nodded and said "hmm", but he always felt that something was strange.
