However, if his mother really liked Mr. Zhang, he could only accept his fate.
Alas, he was worried.
The two children sat side by side on the wall, each with their own thoughts. They stared at the gate of Tuma Pass in a daze.
Suddenly, Zhao Yousong's eyes lit up and he jumped off the wall. He didn't care even if he fell flat on his face. He ran all the way down the wall. The little girl was stunned. After she came back to her senses, she helped him carry his bag and ran down the wall carefully.
Zhao Yousong ran to the man who was walking slowly from the north to the south and shouted, "Uncle Xu!"
The man waited until Zhao Yousong ran in front of him before he asked with a smile, "Yousong, why didn't you call Brother Xu or Young Master Xu this time?"
Zhao Yousong grinned and blinked. "My mother taught me. Why don't you ask her yourself?"
The man was stunned. He smiled and said, "I'm going to buy meat buns. Wait for me."
When he went to the store to buy meat buns, Zhao Yousong suddenly noticed Little Charcoal following Uncle Xu from a distance. When Little Charcoal saw Zhao Yousong, he glared at Zhao Yousong fiercely and even raised his fist to scare him.
The little girl who was Zhao Yousong's childhood sweetheart came to him, panting. Zhao Yousong quickly took the bag and smiled at her apologetically.
Zhao Yousong suddenly leaned over and whispered in the little girl's ear. She was a little confused, but in the end, she trotted away.
Little Charcoal was Hsu Fengnian, and the Uncle Xu Zhao Yousong mentioned was Hsu Fengnian, who had just returned to Youzhou from Beimang.
Unless Hsu Fengnian's father was in a hurry and carried the little sweet potato all the way, she would deliberately keep a distance of more than ten steps from him as long as she walked by herself. She had a posture of "I promise I won't lose you, but I won't get close to you".
Therefore, after entering this Tumbling Horse Pass, it was the same situation again. Xu Fengnian was helpless and could not do anything about it.
Hsu Fengnian bought four steaming meat buns and handed them to Zhao Yousong. He asked with a smile, "Where's the little girl next to you?"
Zhao Yousong chuckled. "Maybe something happened at home."
Hsu Fengnian smiled and shook his head. He turned around and walked towards his stubborn daughter. The latter did not run away. After taking the meat bun, she did not wait for Hsu Fengnian to tell her to eat slowly. Be careful, it's scalding. Hsu Fengnian gasped.
He didn't say anything unnecessary. He just endured his heartache and quickly turned away.
As expected, it was only when he turned around that the little girl held more than half of the meat bun in her hand. She stuck out her tongue and fanned herself with her small hand.
The corner of Zhao Yousong's mouth twitched as he watched. He thought to himself, 'Is this little charcoal hungry or is it a little stupid?'
Xu Nianliang, who was used to being observant and alert, quickly widened his eyes and glared at Zhao Yousong. He raised his small fist at him again.
Hsu Fengnian reached out and patted her little head. "Don't be so rude."
The little girl turned her head away fiercely. She tilted her head and blew on the steam and fragrance of the meat bun. After waiting for a moment, she held the bun with both hands and took a few bites. She finished it in an instant.
'What a real man!'
Zhao Yousong rolled his eyes. 'I can't afford to offend him.'
Hsu Fengnian handed over another meat bun. Then, he squatted down and helped her wipe off the oil that had splashed on her clothes.
Zhao Yousong saw this scene and felt a little envious. Suddenly, he felt a little sad. He turned his head and quietly wiped his face.
Xu Nianliang rolled her eyes even more when she saw the silly goose's inexplicable actions.
Although Hsu Fengnian did not turn his head, he understood the general reason. He gently said to his daughter, "Little sweet potato, don't do this."
Little Charcoal, who had a long and narrow wooden saber hanging from his waist, turned his head fiercely again.
Hsu Fengnian sighed and stood up.
When he turned around, he saw the kind and gentle girl, Xu Qing.
She was a little out of breath, a little shy, but also a little expectant and happy.
She didn't say anything, but her clear eyes seemed to be saying something.
Zhao Yousong first winked at the little girl, then broke the silence. "Uncle Xu, my mother just opened a small cloth shop in the market. Why don't we go take a look?"
Hsu Fengnian hesitated. He turned to look at Little Sweet Potato and was about to decline.
Xu Qing, the little girl who had once personally embroidered a python robe at the Golden Silk Weaving Bureau, came directly to Little Sweet Potato's side for some reason. She crouched down and picked up the little girl. She stood up and looked quietly at Xu Fengnian.
Hsu Fengnian looked at Little Sweet Potato who was flustered but did not struggle too much. He felt a little amused and nodded.
Zhao Yousong and his childhood sweetheart led the way in front.
Xu Qing gently asked, "Little girl, what's your name?"
The little charcoal child immediately cried. "My name is Xu Nianliang!"
Xu Qing softly said, "Yes, you look like your father."
Little Sweet Potato wiped her tears and shook her head. "I don't look like him! I only look like my mother! "
Hsu Fengnian was a little curious why Little Sweet Potato was so intimate with Xu Qing.
It was probably Xu Qing's unique gentleness that came from the bottom of her heart that made this lonely and helpless child feel nostalgic. And this extremely sensitive child had an inexplicable talent for distinguishing between kindness and malice.
At that moment, Hsu Fengnian's eyes instantly turned red. He turned his head and gently exhaled.
On the way to the south, Hsu Fengnian had suffered a lot.
If she had the slightest interest in chatting.
"Xu! How many women do you have in Beiliang? "
"I …"
"Oh, you're so hesitant. That means a lot?! Tsk, tsk. You're indeed the King of Beiliang! "
"…"
If she was in a particularly bad mood.
"Xu!"
"Yes?"
"Do you believe that I'll beat you into a pig's head with a wooden knife?!"
"I believe you."
"You don't believe me at all!"
Dozens of wooden knives were thrown at him.
He didn't dodge.
If she was in a slightly better mood.
"Hey, is that Mount Qingliang that you mentioned as big as my house?"
"Yes, it's a little bigger."
"You're lying!"
Yet another round of wooden sabers.
But it was less than when she was angry.
If she was in a rare good mood.
"Hey, Hsu Fengnian. Is Jiangnan a place further south than Beiliang? "
"Yes."
"Then have you seen the sea? It's very, very big. "
"I've seen it, but I've only seen the East China Sea. I've never been to the South China Sea. Shall we go together in the future?"
"I'll go alone!"
"Then you'll have to wait until you're older. Otherwise, I won't be at ease."
Then Hsu Fengnian was beaten again.
Only when she was in a good mood, Little Sweet Potato would ride on her father's neck, put her little chin on her father's head, and didn't say a word. She just sniffed gently, but she didn't cry out loud.
Occasionally, when the two of them rested halfway, Little Sweet Potato would look to the north alone, lost in thought.
At that time, the man was either standing beside her or sitting behind her, silent and not daring to speak.
Little Sweet Potato's lips curled up for the only time.
On their way back, they met a Beiliang Frontier Army at the border of Dragon Waist State. They were going to drive straight into the grassland of Beiliang, the 6,000 Xu family iron cavalry!
He stopped carrying her.
She took the initiative to ride on his neck, opened her eyes wide, and looked at the unfamiliar cavalry with a curious face.
The 6,000 iron cavalry of the frontier army dismounted at the same time. After seeing the little girl riding on the young king's neck, everyone was excited. The leader of the cavalry was Li Yanchao, the Commander-in-Chief of the Right Cavalry. He took the lead and cupped his hands, saying loudly, "Beiliang's Right Cavalry! Welcome home, Your Highness! "
The 6,000 men cupped their hands together and said loudly, "Beiliang's Right Cavalry! Welcome home, Your Highness! "
According to the laws of Liyang, all the daughters of the kings were only princesses.
However, the Beiliang cavalry had been invincible for 20 years! When did they care about the views of the Central Plains' imperial court?
After that, Little Sweet Potato didn't speak much.
Until they entered the Tuma Pass at the border of Youzhou.
When they arrived at the small cloth shop at the corner of the market, perhaps because Xu Qing left in a hurry, she didn't even close the door. There were already many customers waiting for her, and business was obviously good. The Battle of Liang Mang had ended, and many soldiers of the frontier army were returning to the pass one after another. With more people and more soldiers, business was naturally good. The small shop.
There were seven or eight men and women inside, and it was a little crowded. However, she believed that most of the men were here to buy cloth.
Hsu Fengnian said to Xu Qing considerately, "You go ahead with your business, it's okay."
After Xu Qing put Little Sweet Potato down, she bent down and rubbed her little head. Xu Qing's eyes were curved, and she said softly, "Little Liang, can you pick a piece of cloth yourself? I'll make a nice dress for you later. You're so tanned, you can't pick one that's too colorful. "
The little girl made a face and skipped away to pick the cloth. She wasn't polite at all. Suddenly, she remembered and said to the woman who was walking to the counter, "I'll ask Xu Qing to pay!"
Hsu Fengnian smiled and nodded.
However, Xu Qing smiled and shook her head, "I'll give it to you this time, but next time, you'll have to pay."
Little Sweet Potato thought carefully and glanced at Hsu Fengnian, who was sitting on the threshold. The child didn't refuse.
Probably because of Hsu Fengnian's sudden appearance, the male customers left quickly. However, the women and girls were even more reluctant to leave. During this time, Xu Qing and Little Sweet Potato looked at each other in tacit understanding.
At that time, before Little Sweet Potato went to touch the cloth, her two little hands didn't forget to vigorously wipe her sleeves.
Hsu Fengnian sat alone on the threshold with one hand supporting his chin. He kept looking at the child with a serene expression and warm eyes.
After waiting for all the customers to leave, Little Sweet Potato sighed and spread out her hands. She said to Xu Qing with a helpless face, "I don't like anything."
Xu Qing made an 'oh' sound, then walked out of the counter and went to the cloth rack to pick and choose. Finally, she picked up an elegant floral cloth and turned to the little girl with a smile, "Then I'll just give you this cloth casually?"
Little Sweet Potato blushed a little.
Hsu Fengnian stood up and said softly, "I have enough money."
Little Sweet Potato waved her hand, "Okay!"
