imperial princess

Chapter 214: How about I suffer a bit and call him Daddy?

"Squeak!"

The old courtyard door was opened again, Rong Che poked his head out and looked around repeatedly, but he didn't see the familiar figure, his dark eyes were immediately covered with Chi Guoguo's disappointment. How many times he opened the door, without exception, each time ended in disappointment. Seeing that Ye Zhao had been out for almost three hours, he became more and more restless, and secretly complained why he was so weak. If he was stronger, Ye Zhao She shouldn't have left him to look after the house.

"Cher, Cher..."

"Ye Zhao!"

Just when he was about to close the door, he heard Ye Zhao's call. Rong Che opened the door violently, and his thin body shot out. Ye Zhao was carrying a bundle and a wooden stick on his shoulder, coming from the left side of the house. He got out from behind, and he was sure it was him, Rong Che didn't care about anything else, rushed over and hugged him tightly: "Ye Zhao, Ye Zhao..."

He finally came back, safe and sound!

"What are you doing here? Aren't you afraid that it will be damaged by me?"

Even though he was thin and small, his dashing strength was not small. Ye Zhao was almost knocked to the ground by him, and he staggered back a few steps before he could manage to stabilize his figure. He looked down at him From his head to his shoulders, a flash of understanding and warmth quickly flashed across his eyes, even if he didn't know anything about the relationship, through the special connection between them, he still has a different weight in his heart, right?The dependence at this time is the best proof.

"I...I will help you."

As soon as he said it, little Rong Che decided to feel a little ashamed. After hurriedly retreating, seeing that his hands were not empty, he wanted to step forward to take the wooden stick he was carrying on his shoulders.

"Okay, take this, be careful, the things inside are precious, don't break it."

Pushing away his hand, Ye Zhao handed him the burden involuntarily, and took him home with one hand: "Good luck today, I dug up two ginseng while setting a trap, and one of them was a pinnacle. It looks very good. I will sell it after I send you to school tomorrow. It should sell for a lot of money. When I came back, I found that there were prey in the trap I set at the beginning. Two fat pheasants and a hare. Pack it up, let's stew ginseng chicken to nourish our body."

The seemingly homely nagging is actually explaining the origin of ginseng, pheasant and hare. Even though Rong Che is only ten years old, he dare not underestimate his IQ. Of course, he didn't mean to deceive, and he doesn't even mind that Rong Che Can control wild beasts, but still the same sentence, he is too young, and Rong Lan is familiar with the plot, he may cause trouble at any time, one more thing is worse than one less thing, if he has any doubts in the future, he can just explain it according to the situation.

"Ginseng?"

That's really good stuff.

Rong Che then looked down at the baggage in his arms, and instantly felt that the weightless baggage was a bit heavy. At the same time, he couldn't help feeling joyful in his heart. If the quality of the ginseng was really good, they would have the money to hire someone to collect it. Ye Zhao doesn't need to work hard alone to grow food, and he can go to school to study in peace for the time being.

[Host, if you deceive Rongda like this, won't your conscience really hurt? 】

Poor Rong Da, how powerful he was in the previous three worlds, but now...he is doomed to be coaxed and played by the jerk host in this life.

[What is conscience?Can you help me complete the task, kill Rong Lan? 】

[Sorry for interrupting! 】

Unable to continue chatting, the system tyrant resolutely admitted defeat and terminated their conversation cleanly.

After closing the courtyard door and returning to the main room, Ye Zhao took several sips of cold boiled water, pulled Rong Che to open the bundle, and there were two ginseng lying quietly inside, one was probably as thick as an arm, and its roots were extremely developed. Without the slightest bit of damage, a fool would know that it will definitely fetch a good price. The other one is only a little bigger than an ordinary person's thumb, and there is still a little damage to the root. For ordinary people, it is still high-grade.

"How much... can this be sold for?"

After all, he was still young, his experience was limited, and he had been living a poor life before, Rong Che's eyes shone brightly, and he caressed the thick ginseng almost tremblingly, his voice trembling a little out of tune.

"I can't run away with more than a thousand taels. I don't know its value very well. I will ask a few more pharmacies tomorrow and compare them."

He said that, but Ye Zhao didn't intend to do that. He was a poor boy, and if he really went around with such a rare ginseng, he would be surprised if he didn't get caught.

"Hmm."

Nodding vigorously, Rong Che said hastily: "Tomorrow, I will be with you. I will sell the ginseng before going to school."

There are many bad guys in the county, and he is too dangerous for Xiaokun.

Rong Che seems to have forgotten that although he is a male, he is only ten years old, and he is still a little Douding with stunted roots. It seems that he is no safer than Ye Zhao, a little Kun?

"No, I'm going to sell it in the state capital. Don't you go to school in the county?"

It is obviously impossible for the consumption level of the state capital and the county seat to be on the same level. Qingquan Village is about the same distance from the two cities, but the two cities are completely different. If you sell ginseng before going to the school, you should not go there, Ye Zhao He rejected his request without even thinking about it, even though he would make two more trips tomorrow, sending him to school first and then to the state capital.

"I'm going."

Not wanting to be left behind again, Rong Che felt stubborn, wrinkled his face and grabbed his hand, staring at him straightly: "I'm going!"

"···"

Who did the bear learn from?

Ye Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and compromised helplessly: "Okay, okay, go, go, can you go? How about I change your school to the state capital? Anyway, the distance is about the same. After selling ginseng, we To buy a carriage, I heard that there is a Jing'an Academy in the state capital, which was founded by the famous contemporary Cui Jing'an, and most of the Jinshi in the Kanglan state capital in recent years came from there."

In the original plot, Rong Che passed two child entrance exams in a row, and was recruited by Jing'an Academy after he was 14 years old in the following year. Therefore, Jing'an College later became the best college in the Great Xia Dynasty, and many scholars wanted to get in even if they squeezed their heads.

"Don't go."

Hearing that, before Rong Che had time to be happy, his smile froze on his face. As a scholar, he certainly knew of Jing'an Academy, and he had hoped to get the guidance of those masters there, and even the dean Cui Jing'an, but every month Ten taels of Shuxiu was not something they could afford, and he had struggled for a long time with the promise of going back to school, let alone further increasing his burden?

"Okay, let's wait until you have learned something."

With Ye Zhao's shrewdness, how could he fail to see why he refused?

He didn't want to say any more about money. In the future, he would gradually know that they would never be short of money. Moreover, after thinking about it carefully, Jing'an Academy is like a noble academy in the future world. The students are either rich or expensive. No matter how bad he is, he has outstanding talent. Rong Che is still too young and has no fame. If he is not careful, he may be bullied to the point where he can't hold his head up.

"Ah."

This time, Rong Che finally smiled in relief, and Ye Zhao rubbed his head amusedly: "Go to the kitchen to boil water, and take care of the pheasants and hares. I'll put away the ginseng first."

"it is good."

Hearing that Rong Che was about to stand up, Ye Zhao suddenly said: "By the way, you can't call me Ye Zhao or Yang Zhao outside, although my third brother and I haven't had time to go to the yamen to exchange marriage certificates, after all, we are worshiping you." The interrogator is your stepfather, you are a scholar, and you are going to be an official in the future, at least until you have enough power, you can't give people the excuse of disrespecting your stepfather."

"You and your father didn't receive the marriage certificate?"

Sensitively grasping the point, Rong Che felt intense joy in his heart, even though he knew he was sorry for his father who was still alive.

"Ah."

He only found out about this after receiving the memory of the original owner. It was not described in detail in the plot. Generally speaking, even if it is a poor peasant family, formally marrying a wife should have procedures such as exchanging Geng Tie and going to the yamen to exchange marriage certificates, but the Yang family Just for money, basically sold him to Rong Laosan, didn't pay attention to anything, and didn't even have time to do the most basic marriage certificate.

"Then it's not stepfather."

Lowering his head and lowering his eyelids, Rong Che muttered in a low voice, even though he was sorry for his father, he couldn't restrain the joy in his heart.

"What's wrong? Do you still have an idea?"

Knocking his finger on his head, Ye Zhaoming asked the question, not to mention how serious his stepfather was.

"I'm going to boil the water."

The little face flushed immediately, Rong Che didn't even lift his head, and ran out in a hurry without saying a word, almost tripping over the threshold.

"Ha ha···"

Unexpectedly, Douding's version of Brother Che was so casual, Ye Zhao couldn't help laughing, and faintly found the joy of life in this life.

[Just do it, Rongda will grow up one day. As the absolute protagonist of this world, his abilities and skills will not be worse than those in the previous worlds in the future. Let's see how he will deal with you. 】

I really can't stand it anymore, the system tyrant pops up again, the bastard host is so insignificant, even a ten-year-old doll wants to be teased.

[It will take at least a few years for him to grow up, and we will talk about the future. 】

Not paying heed to his warning, Ye Zhao rewrapped the ginseng and took it back to his and Rong Che's room to put it away. A few days ago, because Rong Lao San's body had been parked at home, they lived in the same room. , Squeeze a bed, and now he doesn't plan to move to Rong Laosan's original room, at least not for the next two days.

It is already the end of April and almost May, and the weather in the south is gradually getting hotter. There is no way to store the unfinished food for a long time. After the two had a full meal of ginseng chicken, Ye Zhao took the remaining pheasant and two Put the hare in a basket, hang it with a rope and hang it in the well. With the help of the low temperature preservation of the water and the deep well, the trouble is that it is a little more troublesome. It is better than smelly things, or exposing the storage compartment, isn't it?

"What are you going to do?"

After the two of them packed everything up, the sky gradually darkened. In this era, there are not many leisure activities. In order to save lamp oil, most ordinary people go to bed after dark, but Ye Zhao was in Rongche's room when he was about to go back to his room. Every now and then he dragged him out, making him full of doubts, wondering what he was going to bother about.

"Take a walk and exercise by the way, we are both too thin."

If you want to exercise, running is definitely better, and the terrain around their house is spacious enough, but the problem is that the ground is too messy and easy to fall, so when I hire people to renovate the house tomorrow, I will buy all the nearby land and level it. He can run and exercise in the morning and evening, but he doesn't believe that he can't raise Xiaodouding to be fat and tall.

"Ah."

Rong Che also felt that he was too young, so he didn't have any complaints. It was inevitable that he would be in a bad mood when he met those top-notch villagers. The two didn't go far, but walked around the house more than a dozen times hand in hand, and didn't go back until they were drenched in sweat. Freshen up and rest on the small wooden bed together.

"Remember what I said, don't call me by my name outside."

Under the light of the moonlight, Ye Zhao stroked Rong Che's little face sideways. Don't blame him for not letting go of children. In his heart, he is always his man. The only difference is that he hasn't grown up yet. He is big and needs his feeding, protection and pampering.

"Zhaoer?"

I don't know why, these two words suddenly slipped through his mind, and when he came back to his senses, he blurted out, his little face turned red again as if he was about to ooze blood, and his heartbeat lost its usual order.

"I can't even call you by name, how dare you call me Zhao'er?"

"Well···"

After a brief moment of stupefaction, Ye Zhao could not help knocking his head: "Why don't I suffer a little and call him Daddy?"

Father and son stalks or something, is there really something up there?It hurts people to look forward to it.

"···"

What do you mean you suffer a little?

Rong Che immediately stared angrily. He didn't know that he didn't get a marriage certificate with his father before and he was extremely repulsed to call him father, let alone now?

Strictly speaking, Ye Zhao is a lazy and undisciplined person who doesn't care too much about many things. Asking Rong Che not to call him by his name is also for the sake of his future career. As far as he is concerned, no matter what he calls him, their relationship is doomed. Moreover, he does not intend to keep wronging himself. When they have enough strength, let alone calling them by name, no one will dare What to say, but the strong bond between them is not something that Rong Che, who is only ten years old, can suppress rationally. No matter what, he can't call him father, and the two of them didn't discuss it until they fell asleep.
