Mrs. Qin Xiangguo

004

After 23 days, the Qin army really withdrew.

It's not that Zhao Weizhen has any super powers and high IQ, but that the time when the war ended is clearly recorded in the history books.

The three-year Battle of Handan finally came to an end with the surrender of the Qin army to Zhao.

Feeling the relaxed atmosphere in the city, Zhao Weizhen had mixed feelings for a moment: If the Battle of Handan hadn't consumed the strength of the Qin State and caused more than 20 casualties of the Qin Army, the six kingdoms would have been wiped out for the current King Qin Zhaoxiang without waiting for Qin Shihuang to ascend the throne. up.

"Ma'am." Wei Xing hurried back home.

Zhao Weizhen went up to meet him: "What did Zhao Shen say?"

Zhao Shen is Zhao Ji's father.As soon as he heard that the Qin army was retreating, Zhao Weizhen immediately sent Wei Xing to Zhao Ji's family to inquire about the situation.

Wei Xing: "He still cares about his daughter very much. When he heard that Mrs. Gui and the young master are fine, he kept asking about their whereabouts. He hoped that we could send our daughter home and he would take care of him."

Only then did Zhao Weizhen feel relieved.

No matter what, Zhao Ji's family is rich, and in the huge city of Handan, one more ally is one more hope.

"That's good."

Zhao Weizhen nodded: "Let's go and tell Mrs. Gui the good news."

For the past [-] days, Mr. Pingyuan has always sent people to watch every move of the Lu Mansion.Until Handan was rescued from the siege, the court was extremely busy, knowing that Mr. Pingyuan had no time to deal with her, a little woman, and would no longer use Zhao Ji and Yingzheng to do things, the follower gradually relaxed.

Only then did Zhao Weizhen dare to seize the opportunity and go out to meet Zhao Ji and Xiao Yingzheng.

We will see Qin Shihuang again!

Zhao Weizhen couldn't help being nervous again.

When they arrived at the hiding place of the mother and son, she couldn't help but brush her hair and straighten her clothes as soon as she got out of the car.Before entering the door, she asked Wei Xing, "Is my appearance suitable?"

Wei Xing couldn't bear to look directly at him: "It's just a concubine and a baby, Madam attaches so much importance to it, those who didn't know thought it was the master who came back."

Zhao Weizhen was expressionless: "I think too much, I won't be so excited to see Lu Buwei."

Wei Xing:? ? ?

As soon as Zhao Weizhen entered, Zhao Ji brought Xiao Yingzheng to welcome him out.

The last time they met, the situation was tense. They only had time to say a word before parting in a hurry. Zhao Weizhen didn't take a good look at what these two historical figures looked like.

After more than half a month, the mental state of the mother and son is not bad.

Zhao Ji washed off the dirt on her face, and she looked even more charming.She has an exquisite figure and soft features, but she doesn't look like a girl from the Northland.Those pair of red phoenix eyes saw Zhao Weizhen, and they were eager to look forward to; the thin and clear lips were slightly raised, and the smile was like a flower.

Zhao Weizhen was almost dazzled by this smile.

No matter what the future holds, Zhao Ji is a real beauty right now.

"Madame Weizhen!"

Zhao Ji was very happy to see Zhao Weizhen. After saluting, she looked at the boy next to her and said, "Zheng'er, send my regards to Madam."

Zhao Weizhen: I can't bear it, I can't bear it!

Although he had emotionally accepted the fact that Qin Shihuang was still a child, Zhao Weizhen was still taken aback when he heard this.

Fortunately, Xiao Yingzheng did not listen to his mother.

Zhao Weizhen lowered his head to meet his gaze.

"Historical Records" records Qin Shihuang: "The king of Qin is a man, with accurate bee, long eyes, true bird screaming, jackal voice, little kindness and tiger wolf heart." However, Yingzheng in front of Zhao Weizhen is only three years old this year, with a round face and exquisite facial features. With the appearance of a little boy, it is really hard to see what the future will look like.

Only those eyes followed the mother's, the phoenix eyes were long and narrow, and the pupils were black and white.

Ying Zheng stared at Zhao Weizhen with no expression on his small face, which made his eyes look direct and even a little seductive.

Zhao Weizhen didn't mind.She smiled, and squatted down with her sleeves in her hands.

"This is for you." Zhao Weizhen took out a box of pastries and handed it to Xiao Yingzheng: "Meeting gift."

That's right, she was trying to please the future Qin Shihuang.

Who can resist this!

But Zhao Weizhen seldom comes into contact with children on weekdays, let alone what little Yingzheng likes.After thinking about it, I can only pack some bean cakes and maltose, which are not expensive and are easier for children to accept.

Zhao Weizhen: "I don't know if you like cakes?"

Xiao Yingzheng took the pastry box indifferently, but did not speak.

Zhao Weizhen:? ? ?

She looked up at Zhao Ji.

When the mother showed annoyance, she was very worried and said: "It's three years old, and Zheng'er is still not very talkative. I'm really afraid he is a fool."

Zhao Weizhen: "Uh..."

It's okay for a fool!Don't say that Ying Zheng can't be a fool, even if he is, you can't say it in front of the child.

During the conversation, Wei Xing directed his servants to bring in the temporary daily necessities.

"Madam Gui, where are these placed?" Wei Xing asked.

"I'll take you there."

Zhao Ji nodded to Zhao Weizhen, then turned around and led her servants into the room.

It is located in the corner of Handan, the house is not big, but the place is secluded enough.After Zhao Ji left, only Zhao Weizhen and Xiao Yingzheng were left in the yard.

Zhao Weizhen looked at Xiao Yingzheng, lowered his voice and said, "I know you are very smart."

What a joke, how could the future Emperor Qiangu have a problem with IQ.

And the two times they met, Ying Zheng and Zhao Weizhen met each other's eyes.He was watching her, and he should be judging for himself.A child who makes eye contact and thinks for himself is at least not a fool.

Sure enough, seeing no one around, Xiao Yingzheng replied slowly, "Thank you Madam for the gift."

Zhao Weizhen:? ! !

She was taken aback.

Xiao Yingzheng spoke in a childish voice, and his enunciation was a little vague, but he was clear.Coupled with his clear eyes and cold expression, he doesn't look like a three-year-old child at all.

ok... ok!

Zhao Weizhen came back to his senses: So it's not that he can't speak, but he just doesn't want to speak in front of so many people.

After all, it is Qin Shihuang, there is no need to communicate with ordinary people, Zhao Weizhen understands very well.

but--

She smiled and reached out to squeeze Xiao Yingzheng's face.

Damn, I really can't help it, anyway, he is only three years old, and he won't remember it when he grows up!

The three-year-old boy still has baby fat on his face, which is as soft as cotton when pinched, and feels very good to the touch.

Xiao Yingzheng didn't seem to understand Zhao Weizhen's behavior. He tilted his head, his face was gently pinched, and he remained expressionless.Tilting his head like this, he finally looked like a child.

Zhao Weizhen withdrew his hand contentedly: "This is your return gift."

Pinching the face of Qin Shihuang, this life is worth it!

When she got up, Zhao Ji just came back.

"Mrs. Weizhen." Zhao Ji was full of anticipation: "I just heard from Wei Xing that the Qin army has withdrawn. Can we leave Handan then?"

Zhao Weizhen: "...I'm afraid it won't work."

Zhao Ji's bright eyes dimmed suddenly: "Is it still not possible?"

Zhao Weizhen: "Don't be afraid, I can't leave, can I? I asked Wei Xing to find your father. He was worried that you and Mr. Zheng had a very bad relationship. Madam, you can stay here for a few more days. If the wind outside calms down, you can go back home." The mother's house is hiding."

Hearing that she could go back to her mother's house, Zhao Ji's face looked better.

"Please trouble Mrs. Weizhen," Zhao Ji said, "It's just that I...worry that Mr. Yiren will return to Qin, so he will forget me and Zheng'er."

"No way, no way!"

Zhao Weizhen immediately explained: "Young Master Zheng is of royal blood! Besides, the Qin army was defeated in the Battle of Handan, and Young Master Yiren fled back to Qin. Lord Pingyuan wants to detain Young Master Zheng as a hostage. Being a hostage is a political opportunity." Chip. No matter how small the chip is, it is still a chip. If it is not good enough, it can overturn the game. Based on this, the stranger will not abandon his wife and Mr. Zheng. It’s just that these days may be more difficult. My wife and I Do your best to help."

She babbled and babbled at lengthy speeches, but Zhao Ji half-understood her.

But I can't understand any political bargaining chips, but I can understand the last sentence.

"With Madam Weizhen's guarantee, I feel at ease." Zhao Ji said, "I don't understand anything else."

Fine.

At least Zhao Ji accepted her words.

After Zhao Weizhen gave a few instructions, he said goodbye to Zhao Ji after the servants finished moving the things.

Before leaving, she found another opportunity and secretly said to Xiao Yingzheng: "I will come here often in the future, but when I'm not here, you have to protect your mother well, you know?"

Xiao Yingzheng glanced at Wei Xing behind Zhao Weizhen, but didn't speak this time.

He just looked at Zhao Weizhen for a long time with a pair of phoenix eyes, and then nodded silently.

After setting up the mother and son, and returning to the carriage, Zhao Weizhen felt more tired than running around all day.

With the end of the Battle of Handan, she can finally let go of half of her worries.

In a short time, Zhao Ji and Ying Zheng's lives should not be in danger, but...

so tired.

Zhao Weizhen slumped directly on the carriage.

In history, Yingzheng stayed in Handan for six years, and only 23 days have passed!

Thinking of the future situation, Zhao Weizhen's head hurts.

"lady."

Wei Xing's voice sounded from outside the car: "Do you want to go to Mrs. Zhao's family again?"

Zhao Weizhen: "Go, talk to her father."

Wei Xing: "Oh."

Zhao Weizhen: "Are you not happy?"

Through a layer of curtains, Wei Xing's tone sounded reluctant: "I think this Zhao Wei, at best, is at the level of a concubine. Madam, you have been busy for so long, and she has the grace of life. She didn't even say thank you."

Zhao Weizhen: "..."

Paralyzed in the car, Zhao Weizhen's expression gradually became complicated.

What can be done then?

She also realized that Zhao Ji was born in an ordinary wealthy family and her vision was not very good.

Zhao Weizhen is about the same age as her, maybe Zhao Ji is a few years older than Zhao Weizhen.But Zhao Weizhen is an undergraduate student who went to university!People of the same age in the pre-Qin period were not nobles, nor smart, and even became mothers.It is normal for Zhao Ji to have limited cognition.

No wonder she still fell in love with her when she became a queen mother, and turned against her own son for the sake of her lover.

Zhao Weizhen was worried about relying on her to take care of Xiao Yingzheng.

But if you want help, how can you help——

"Wei Xing." Zhao Weizhen struggled to sit up.

"Ma'am, I'm here."

"In Handan City, how much property and real estate do we have left?"

Lu Buwei came to Handan to do business, and the situation was critical. He ran away with Ying Yiren, and naturally left all the business stalls behind.

Wei Xing outside the car didn't think about it: "There are still about a hundred gold left in the mansion. As for the real estate and shops... Lord Pingyuan sent soldiers to surround them, and they haven't withdrawn yet."

Damn, Mr. Pingyuan is trying to rob!

Although Lu Buwei fled with Qin's proton overnight, he was regarded as a political () criminal in Handan, and it was normal for Pingyuan Jun to seal his real estate.

So after all, Zhao Weizhen still has a hundred gold assets on hand.This hundred gold can be regarded as a windfall for ordinary people, but it is impossible for Zhao Weizhen to live on only one hundred gold.

And Zhao Weizhen can't just care about himself.

She has an entire Lu family who wants to eat with their mouths open, and more importantly, has to raise young Yingzheng.

It is clear that the future Qin Shihuang will start to suffer in Zhao Guo, and Zhao Weizhen can't stand by and watch.Not to mention anything else, at least let the little Qin Shihuang eat and drink well, not be bullied, and try to give him a happy childhood, right?

Zhao Weizhen thought for a while: "The Qin army has retreated, can you find a way to communicate with Lu Buwei now?"

Wei Xing, who was driving the car, had his eyes lit up: "Yes, yes! I will definitely find a way to send it there. At worst, send someone to go around to Wei Guo!"

I want to write a letter, but it doesn't mean that the madam still has feelings for the master, it's just that she is stubborn and doesn't want to admit it.

…………

……

One month later, in Xianyang, in the post house.

The boat and the car were exhausted, and Lu Buwei had just entered Xianyang with the Qin army not long ago.

"Master, master! There's a letter from Handan, sent by Madam!"

Lu Buwei who was at the desk suddenly got up: "Ma'am?"

He had just arrived, and the letter followed closely, and it was too timely.

Lu Buwei hurriedly took the silk book, recalling the situation when he fled a few months ago, he felt both guilty and happy in his heart.

Feeling ashamed that he had to leave his wife behind just after he got married, and made a fuss, he really felt sorry for Meng Wei.The joy is that not only did she not complain or be afraid, but she insisted that he take the stranger away alone, which was more general than Lu Buwei expected.

I don't know what the letter is about.

Lu Buwei was uneasy: if she wrote a long letter describing the situation, Lu Buwei would be pleased; if she wrote a letter to annul the marriage, Lu Buwei would understand.

Getting ready, he unfolded the silk scroll.

Not pouring out my heart, not full of sorrow, not even a piece of paper and a book. The expensive silk book is empty, and only eight big characters are written in beautiful fonts:

[Young Master Yangzheng, if you have no money, give it to me. ]

Lu Buwei: "..."
