Return to the Song Dynasty

Looking at the fluffy fur of various colors like falling snow, as well as the shiny and dazzling colorful feathers falling in the air, one can vaguely distinguish rabbits, dogs, cats, parrots... and maybe other birds? ...You can probably imagine how brutally those fluffy and cute creatures suffered just now.

"Um, are these the various cute little pets you were talking about?" Zhao Youyi pointed to a pile of empty cages, and a huge fat pet lying in the middle of the cages, licking its paws leisurely like stars. black cat.

"Meow~~~" Dumbfounded Li Lin has not yet answered, the big fat black cat raised its head when it heard the words, its wet cat eyes looked innocently at everyone, and its low coquettish cry was like a feather scratching people's hearts. , I just want to reach out and touch its head, and hug it in my arms quickly.

"Meow~~" the big black cat let out another sound, it was hard to imagine that its fat body could make such a girlish voice.The whole body of this cat is black and shiny, without any stray hairs, its four claws are powerful, its beard trembles slightly, and its golden cat eyes seem to be sparkling at first glance, but if you look closely, you will feel that those eyes are like a deep spring Deep and mysterious, it seems to be the purest amber glass, which can reflect everything in this world.But due to being too fat, the round cat face with such a pair of eyes is quite joyful and unforgettable.

"Oh, isn't this too white?" Just when everyone was sweating and at a loss, the Queen Mother suddenly smiled and picked up the black cat, and while stroking the cat, she talked to the cat: "I haven't seen you for a long time." Now, where did you go?"

"Meow~~~" The black cat didn't recognize its birth, and lay obediently in the arms of the queen mother, and even took the initiative to poke its head out to let the queen mother stroke its fur.

Everyone: What is the origin of this cat?The Queen Mother knows each other.Then... We failed to catch the culprit, the cat, so can we be given a lighter sentence?

Li Lin waved his fist angrily: I'll wipe it, it really is that fat man in Taibai!I have been missing for several years, and once I come out, I will spoil my good deeds!

Black Cat Taibai: Meow~ You are willing to come as I am, but I have no choice but to come, stupid human being.Hmm, yes, it’s over there, it’s so comfortable to scratch, meow~

"Is this cat raised by your grandmother?" Zhao Youyi stood on tiptoe and tried to pet the cat's head.Zhao Youmu, who was on the side, held the cat's tail that was hanging down and swinging in his hand.

"Yo, that's just asking. This cat is an old man with some history." Xu Shi saw the black cat that appeared unexpectedly, and the Queen Mother was in a good mood, smiling and explaining to the little grandchildren. "If you talk about this cat, it's much bigger than you. It was your uncle's pet when he was a child. At that time, Xiao Shi's uncle bought him a Persian cat from other places. It is said to be a cat. It is pure white, with two eyes of different colors. It is very beautiful. His uncle sent this Persian cat to the palace and wanted to keep it as a pet for him. In the end, I don’t know what went wrong. Come into the palace, everyone, look at it, it turned into this black cat, hahaha..."

The Queen Mother remembered the scene at that time, and couldn't help laughing. At the beginning, Zhao Ji's biological mother, Chen Zhaoyi, who is now the Concubine Chen, wanted to show the Queen Mother (the queen at that time) to please her, but in the end she came out like this Oolong, of course, is a mess.However, the queen mother didn't care about it, and she laughed and played with Zhao Ji, so she became attached to this cat.

"I have always felt that this cat is not an ordinary cat." Taibai who was lying in the arms of the queen mother silently raised his head and narrowed his cat's eyes.The queen mother continued: "It's very spiritual. Back then, he was only willing to play with your uncle Shishi and your father. Since Xiaojiu and Xiaoshi went out of the palace to build a mansion, this cat has disappeared. .Speaking of which, this cat can be regarded as raised by your father.”

'Father, does he like the black cat too? Little Zhao Youyi and Zhao Youmu couldn't help guessing in their hearts, imagining how their father was holding a black cat when they were young. (Zhao Bi: Misunderstanding, purely misunderstanding, this king has never liked this lazy and slippery fat cat!)

"Now it suddenly appeared again." The Empress Dowager suddenly lifted the cat to her face with both hands, looked at the cat's eyes and said faintly, "Why did you come back?"

The empress dowager's expression was too serious, and the frightened black cat Taibai stiffened, almost thinking that the woman in front of her had seen through her.Everyone around didn't know how to react.

"Pfft" the queen mother suddenly smiled mischievously, shook the stiff black cat, and said happily: "Look, look, it's really frightening, I'll just tell you, this little guy is very spiritual, It can’t be said that I understood the words.”

The frightened black cat wept silently: It's wrong to lie!It's wrong to lie to cats!You are a little guy, and your whole family is a little guy!

"Do you like this cat?" The queen mother turned her face, looked at the two little grandchildren who had been staring at the cat, and asked with a smile.

"I like it!" Zhao Youyi replied without any hesitation.

"Yes!" Zhao Youmu also agreed.

"Well, the other pets have been scared away by it anyway, so let's use it to make up for it." The queen mother put the black cat in front of the two brothers with a smile, told them to have fun, and got up to deal with palace affairs Only the thought-provoking gorgeous back is left.

Black Cat: Meow~ I always feel that there is something in this woman's words, which is unfathomable and a bit dangerous, so be careful!

Empress Dowager: Not long after the cat appeared, my son gradually improved and became more alert.Bi'er disappeared, and the cat disappeared.Now, the cat has come back again, so...does it mean...does it mean that the cat can also come back?Alas... just let it stay by the children's side, it's a fate.

Zhao Ji: This is not mine, my pet?

Zhao Man, who was inspecting the finished armor, said, "Ah Choo! Ah Choo!"

"Hey, someone's little lady must be talking about you again. Hahaha..." Guo Cheng, another fierce general under Zhang Yi's command, laughed and joked.

Since Zhao Man came back from Jingzhao Mansion, the pre-war preparations for the Fourth Northwest Road have also reached a feverish stage. All the roads are busy, and people have been sent to Jingyuan Road to learn from them.Mr. Zhang was overwhelmed by all kinds of non-stop questions from all walks of life.He simply transferred the instigator, Zhao Man, to the Weizhou Administration to answer such technical questions.It’s also a beautiful name: Xiaoman’s martial arts are not very good (Zhao Man: You flatter me, my martial arts is not very good, it’s too bad (＞﹏＜)), after all, Huizhou Daying is only on the same line as Xixia It's more dangerous, and it's safer to come to Weizhou Administrative Office.

I thought that Xiaoxiong and others would be reluctant to speak out against him, but when he turned around, he saw Yao Xiong, Vice General Yang and others, and even old doctor Lin deeply agreed and said goodbye to Zhao Man reluctantly, so that Zhao Man came to Wei Zhou should also eat well, sleep well, and exercise a lot.The angrily Zhao Man's teeth were itchy: "Such an obvious excuse, do you believe it?!"

Everyone: "But what Zhang Xianggong said is also true. We estimate that we will soon start a war here. Xiaoman, your martial arts... really make brothers worry. Sigh!" With a long sigh, everything was silent.

Old Doctor Lin also patted Zhao Man on the shoulder in relief: "When you arrive in Weizhou, you can ask Qingzhi for help."

So Zhao Man was quickly packaged and mailed by everyone to Mr. Zhang, who was looking forward to in the Weizhou government...

After taking office, Zhao Man really lived up to expectations, and directly opened a "training seminar", inviting officials from all walks of life who came to learn Buddhist scriptures, as well as relevant local officials and generals on Jingyuan Road to participate. Research, if you have a good idea, let's develop it together.

The actual combat experience of these officials and generals who have been active on the border all year round is very valuable, and it is rare for everyone to have such an opportunity to share, discuss and speak freely about their years of combat experience.The seminar was held in full swing for a while, from the initial discussion on manufacturing and improving weapons and equipment, it developed to in-depth discussions on martial arts, art of war, strategy and tactics, etc.The outstanding generals of the Northwest Fourth Route flocked to them even more, coming in turn.

Zhao Man: Did I accidentally open the first military academy in Song Dynasty?

Zhang Yu: Ruzi can be taught!Xiaoman did a good job!Credit!

Yue He, who had already been promoted to lieutenant general, also came back. After three years of separation, this was the first time Zhao Man saw his second brother Yue He.Both brothers burst into tears and were very excited.Zhao Man was almost strangled by Yue He's overly enthusiastic embrace.The two of them babbled like no one else, talking about their respective life experiences in the past three years.

Zhao Man has not changed much, but he has grown from a beautiful boy with red lips and white teeth to a handsome and handsome young man, with a romantic attitude in every gesture.The changes in Yue He made Zhao Man dumbfounded.Yue He has already married a wife and had children? !

"You, you, you wait a minute, you said you are married? The child is almost two years old?" Zhao Man took two steps back in disbelief, and his rare pair of phoenix eyes widened, looking at Yue He's eyes like Watch aliens.Because in Zhao Man's way of thinking, Yue He is a big boy in high school at his age. Although it is understandable for Yue He to join the army and fight, it does not mean that he can accept a high school student marrying a wife and having children!

"Ah, yes, um." Yue He scratched his head foolishly, "Hey, this is your sister-in-law, and this is your eldest niece Qingqing." Yue He seemed to be afraid that Zhao Man would not be hit enough, so he quickly dodged, It revealed his wife and children following behind him.

"Ah, ah?" Zhao Man couldn't accept this fact for a while, stared blankly for a long time, and finally stared blankly at the beautiful young woman in front of him and the child in the young woman's arms was bent at ninety degrees. Bow big, and say hello loudly: "Hello, sister-in-law! Hello, great niece!"

"Pfft..." The young woman couldn't hold back, she actually laughed out loud, she said heartily: "I'm sorry, I really couldn't hold back, hahaha..." Before she finished speaking, she kept laughing again.The young generals around were also laughing endlessly, which made Zhao Man blushed a lot.

"Ah, that, that, Xiaoman, don't mind, your sister-in-law is careless and outspoken..." Yue He hurriedly explained.

"Hey, it's okay, I was too nervous, didn't I scare my niece?" Zhao Man was not nervous at all at this time, and looked at the mother and daughter carefully, and found that That woman and Yue He really look like husband and wife, with the same thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the same simplicity and straightforwardness.The little girl is even more beautiful in appearance, with beautiful facial features, big almond eyes as moist as black grapes, long and thick eyelashes flickering like two small fans, a small straight nose, a small ruddy mouth, round and tender. With a baby fat face, not to mention how attractive it is.

While Zhao Man was talking, he reached out and fumbled in his arms, trying to find something suitable for the occasion to give to the eldest niece who suddenly appeared.Zhao Man hated in his heart: "Well, you second brother, the silent child is so old, I didn't know it and suddenly became an elder, which made me unprepared to be an uncle. I didn't even have a gift Not even prepared, what kind of words is this. 'Of course, Wu Chi Yue He will never understand Zhao Man's helpless mood.

Zhao Man scratched and pulled around his body but couldn't find a suitable object, so he had no choice but to pull out the Liuyun Baifu jade pendant hanging on his body, and stuffed it into the little girl's hand. "Well, eldest niece, this is a meeting gift from my uncle. I didn't prepare it this time. Next time my uncle will find you a better one." Zhao Canjun, who has always been smart and eloquent, didn't know why he saw this The eldest niece was actually a little nervous for no reason.

The little girl obviously understood. She looked at the handsome man with a warm smile in front of her, blinked, and shouted crisply: "Thank you, brother."

Zhao Man: ...is an uncle, I am an uncle, not a brother.

In the days since then, Zhao Man has been trying to correct this mistake, but to no avail. The stubborn little girl, Yue Qingqing, seems to have decided so... Maybe it was a kind of foresight.
