Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 26
The most typical feature of farming civilization is that men plow and women plow.

Needless to say about farming, after the boys finished eating, they went to the fields to farm, and one of them worked until it was almost dark before returning home to eat.

Girls, on the other hand, are different. Because of their lack of natural strength, they grind rice at home.

Rice pounding is to put rice, millet and other grains into a stone mortar and pound them with a stone pestle, which can break the shell of millet and rice.

Then remove the pounded shell, so that the rice or corn can be eaten.

It is not easy to go to the field to cultivate, and every time I cultivate, I will be sweating profusely and panting.

But pounding rice is also difficult, unlike modern people, who can directly buy delicious rice in the supermarket.

After dawn.

Women in every household pound rice in their own small rooms.

But the concubine who was far away in the palace could not understand the woman's hard work and wasted her hard-earned rice on her own.

When Qin Wangzheng saw someone wasting rice, he immediately reprimanded him: "One porridge and one meal, it's not easy to think about it!"

Living in Xianyang Palace for a long time, the palace people naturally cannot understand how difficult it is to cook a bowl of rice.

I can only listen to Qin Wangzheng's ramblings dryly!

After Qin Wangzheng finished his chatter, he also ordered the concubine to eat the rice that had been poured out.

The concubine had no choice but to hold the dirty rice on the ground, mechanically swing her arms, and eat the rice, muttering in a low voice from time to time.

Since then, Qin Wangzheng was extremely disappointed with this concubine who wasted food, and put her in the cold palace after the concubine finished eating.

People in the palace were afraid of Qin Wangzheng, so they didn't dare to waste food anymore.

Qin Wangzheng also set an example.

When he was in the old capital of Handan, Qin Wangzheng personally went to the field to cultivate, and the hard work is self-evident.

Since childhood, Qin Wangzheng has developed the habit of thrift.

So much so that when he became the king of Qin later, the government of the king of Qin did not change at all, and he even ordered the palace to prohibit wasting food.

This reminded Qin Wangzheng of Xiao Zhinu.

Every time the little childish slave eats, he devours it hungrily.

Although it is out of style, but I can't bear to waste a little rice, and I even have to clean the bowl.

The eunuch Ling Xi felt that the little childish slave was a little out of character when he had a meal with Qin Wangzheng, so he once persuaded Qin Wangzheng for this.

But Qin Wangzheng did not punish the little childish slave.

And set him as a model for all to follow.

The eunuchs in the palace looked at each other in disbelief.

Xi felt helpless and could only smile coldly.

The little childish slave left for five days.

Qin Wangzheng missed him as always, and during his absence, Qin Wangzheng could only look at the little childish slave in the photo.

Every time he saw the picture of Xiao Zhinu's big face, Qin Wangzheng felt innumerable excitement in his heart.

It's a pity that Xiao Zhinu is not around.

Otherwise, Qin Wangzheng would have held Xiao Zhinu in his palm long ago.

In the past, when reading books, Qin Wangzheng was very relieved to have a young slave by his side, and read books more seriously.

But when Xiao Zhinu was not around.

Qin Wangzheng had an inexplicable sense of loss, as if his closest friend had left.

In desperation, he could only conceive the scene of the little child jumping around in his mind to make up for the regret in his heart.

However, Qin Wangzheng is also looking forward to, what kind of inspiration will the photos that Xiao Zhinu conveys to Qin Wangzheng?
For so many days, Xiao Zhinu did not post any photos.

But Qin Wangzheng's sense of anticipation is growing day by day.

What kind of artifact will the little childish slave bring this time?

Qin Wangzheng would open the system panel day and night to see if Xiao Zhinu's mailbox had been delivered?

Lord Changping and Lord Changwen went to the palace for the past few days, but they didn't see the little childish slave, and they were a little happy, thinking that Qin Wangzheng finally drove the little childish slave away.

But seeing Qin Wangzheng's disappointed expression, the two also emoed.

Chang Wenjun cupped his hands and asked, but Qin Wangzheng just sighed and didn't answer.

Knowing from Xi's mouth that Qin Wangzheng was sad because of Xiao Zhinu's departure, the smiles on the faces of the two gradually froze.

It seems that Xiaozhinu has a very high status in Qin Wangzheng's heart, even much higher than the two of them.

Seeing that Qin Wangzheng was in a low mood, Lord Changwen persuaded him: "Don't complain about yourself, Junshan. Parting is a human nature. Your majesty must look forward!"

It's okay if you don't say this sentence, but Qin Wangzheng is sad when you say it!
Under the joint comfort of the three, Qin Wangzheng's sad expression disappeared.

But Chang Wenjun learned another piece of news from Xi's mouth!
Xiao Zhinu did not leave, but went on a trip.

This made Chang Wenjun tremble with fear.

It's unbelievable that a frog is out on a trip.

Is it impossible to follow the example of Confucius and travel around the world?

Chang Wenjun thought it was ridiculous, how could a frog travel.

Even if you are traveling, you may not be able to find your way home, so you leave decisively.

But hi shook his head.

And told the two that Xiao Zhinu had traveled several times and returned safely every time.

And Qin Wangzheng's mood is also directly linked to Xiao Zhinu.

When Xiaozhinu left, Qin Wangzheng missed it and felt depressed.

But when Xiaozhinu returned to Zhangtai Palace, Qin Wangzheng was extremely excited.

As soon as these words came out, a thunderbolt exploded in the minds of Changwen Jun and Chang Ping Jun.

The two couldn't believe it, how could a frog do such a thing?
Isn't it ridiculous that a frog can affect the mood of the king of a country?

The two believed even more that Qin Wangzheng was bewitched by the little childish slave, and the little childish slave could not stay.

It is scheduled that when Xiaozhinu returns this time, the two will join forces with Lu Buwei to persuade Qin Wangzheng to get rid of this curse.

If not
Then use more rude means.

The eyes of the two were fixed, and a trace of evil spirit flashed in their eyes.

Xi on the side was so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground.

The two retired, Xi had no choice but to enter the main hall and continue to serve Qin Wangzheng.

When Xi thought that he had gone through untold hardships to get into the position of eunuch Ling, he couldn't help but feel chilled.

But even so, he had to face the cold eyes of civil and military officials.

Even more terrifying.
Qin Wangzheng loved frogs far more than he did.

Xi felt an inexplicable sense of loss.

I have worked hard all my life, but in the end my focus is not other people's starting point.

The gap between people is unimaginable, let alone people and frogs?

Xi sighed helplessly, curled up in a corner and wept alone after serving Qin Wangzheng.

After a day's work, Qin Wangzheng began to sleep under the service of eunuchs.

Looking at the bamboo basket where the little child slave slept in, Qin Wangzheng once again sparked a spark of longing in his heart.

unfortunately
The little childish slave is not in sight.

Qin Wangzheng could only pick up the photos and savor them alone.

Looking at the cute photo of Xiao Zhinu, Qin Wangzheng took a deep breath and exhaled heavily.

Qin Wangzheng was about to bend over to sleep when a mechanical reminder sounded in his mind.

[Ding, the little child sent a travel photo, please check it! 】

A sweet feeling flooded Qin Wangzheng's heart.

Finally sent photos!
The long-awaited long-awaited has finally come.

Qin Wangzheng quickly opened the system panel, and saw a faint photo.

The cute expression of the little child slave is always so eye-catching!

A warm current passed through Qin Wangzheng's heart.

On closer inspection, the little childish slave seems to be busy thanking him for something.
