LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 203 Greed is like fire, desire is like water
Li Qiaozhen was worried about the safety of the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, so she woke up Zhang Xiujuan and the others and was about to go home, but unexpectedly her mother Wang Shuying stopped them.
"Qiaozhen, I have something to tell you." Wang Shuying came over and pulled Li Qiaozhen aside.
"Mom, what do you want to say! I still have something to do at home!" Li Qiaozhen said impatiently.
Wang Shuying looked around and saw no one around, so she immediately said: "You received so much silver two days ago, can you...can you lend some to your mother? Xiaoman at home needs money for medical treatment, and it's time for your eldest brother to say goodbye, you Dad can't find any work these days..."
Li Qiaozhen suddenly panicked and felt so sad that she wanted to shed tears, "Mom, I just gave you five taels of my wages last time, why do you want to take money from me again!"
Wang Shuying's face darkened, "What are you talking about! Why do I want to take money from you! We are not your family. If there is a problem at home, shouldn't you help?"
"How can I help! Even if I want to help, I have to be able to do so!" Li Qiaozhen turned around, "If you keep forcing me, I will make peace with Yuan Mochen!"
"You..." Wang Shuying almost made Li Qiaozhen angry to death with these words, "Don't always threaten me with these words. Do you really dare to reconcile with him? Who are you scaring?"
"..." Li Qiaozhen looked at her mother in shock, and suddenly felt that the person in front of her was very strange, not like the mother who gave birth to her and raised her for eighteen years. "Mom, I have something else to do, so I'm going back first!" She said and immediately raised her head. He ran toward the village head as if running away.
"Li Qiaozhen, let me tell you, you, you are unfilial!" Wang Shuying shouted from behind.
Li Qiaozhen's heart trembled, and tears of sadness burst into her eyes, but she still left without looking back.
"You are our eldest daughter. We raised you so big. Do you want you to treat us like this?"
"..." Li Qiaozhen ran quickly towards the village, letting her tears fall in the cold wind.
When Li Qiaozhen returned to Xiao's house in the village, she saw Xiao Jing and others returning. Xiao Jing was currently holding two children on his lap, one on the left and the other on the right, playing with them. The two children were giggling happily. Yuan Chuyi was with them, and it was a warm family together.
Seeing that it was getting late, she didn't go in to disturb them and went directly to the kitchen to help arrange dinner.
On the first day of Yuanchu, she watched Xiao Jing gently playing with the child, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise. Xiao Jing had been away from home for more than three months, and she thought the children would not recognize him. Unexpectedly, the two children giggled as soon as they came into his arms, and even stretched out their chubby little hands to touch his face.
Sure enough, they are connected by blood.
"Master, madam, Xuan Xing is back!" Xuan Feng came in to report.
Xuan Xing strode in to greet him.
Yuan Chuyi looked at him, "Xuan Xing, how did things go?"
"The matter has been settled. Miss Yuan has brought her father's ashes back to Yuanjiawan for burial!" Xuan Xing reported back.
Yuan Chuyi nodded with satisfaction and asked him to go down and rest.
Xiao Jing looked at Yuan An Chuyi with an inquiring look on his face. On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, he told the story of Yuan Zhongming's death from illness.
"This person is often burdened by the word greed! If he had not been greedy, An Ansheng and Aunt Yuan would not have ended up like this if they lived a good life!" Xiao Jing said, looking at the two children, "You guys You two, when you grow up, you must know how to be content with what you have, and having too many desires will harm yourself, you know!"
"Hey..." The two children grinned, seeming to agree with what their father said.
Yuan Chuyi laughed and played with the chubby faces of the two children, "Why are you two laughing? Do you understand what your father said?"
Xiao Jing smiled and said: "Greed is like fire, if it is not contained, it will start a prairie fire; desire is like water, if it is not contained, it will spread to the sky! You two should remember this truth well."
"Yeah..." the two children shouted happily
Yuan Chuyi laughed at the side, "Did the prince receive such earnest teachings when he was still an infant?"
"Maybe!" Xiao Jing looked at Yuan Chuyi and smiled, "In my impression, when I was very young, my father held me in his arms and took me to read and read."
"Your Majesty, you must have lived a happy life when you were a child!"
Xiao Jing smiled and said, "Calm yourself happy. As long as I can remember, my father would teach me how to read and practice martial arts with me at home, and teach me what my responsibility is to my family and country. At that time, my mother would also be with us, and we would be together as a family. Very happy! But at that time, the border was not at peace yet, and my father was often away from home. He would go out for at least a few months, and sometimes for several years. Fortunately, when my father was not at home, my mother would also take me to study and accompany me. I practice martial arts, and my father often writes home to my mother and me, informing me of his situation and asking us not to worry!"
As he spoke, he seemed to be recalling the past, and there was a little loneliness hidden behind his smile. He sighed leisurely, "It's a pity that they are no longer here. They left too early and the time they spent with me was too short."
"Uh……"
Dabao Erbao stretched out his hand and touched Xiao Jing's face and cooed, as if to comfort him and tell him not to be sad.
Yuan Chuyi also held Xiao Jing's arm, "My child and I will stay with you from now on!"
Xiao Jing looked at them, smiled, and kissed the two children's faces, "Thank you two little ones!" Then he kissed Yuan Chuyi's cheek, "Thank you, madam!"
Yuanchu smiled and snuggled next to him.
It turns out that he had a wonderful childhood and a good family tradition. No wonder he could be so generous to the people around him. She was also very happy that she came to this other world and met him!
"I also thank the prince for giving me a home and sheltering me from wind and rain!" Yuan Chuyi looked at Xiao Jing and smiled softly.
Xiao Jing looked at her, with a smile on his brows and her eyes, "Fool, you are my wife, we are a family!"
"Since we are a family, can you let me know if there is something wrong with the prince?" Yuan Chuyi looked at Xiao Jing and asked with a smile.
"Mrs. Let's be frightened!"
While the two were talking, Yuan Shiyu came and said that dinner was ready and invited them to the restaurant.
Xiao Jing and Yuan Chu got up together, each carrying a child to the restaurant. When they got there, a family of about twenty people had arrived and were waiting for them. Today's dinner is hot pot, and the ingredients prepared are very rich.
"Everyone has been frightened these days. Let's have a good meal to calm down everyone's fright, and also catch the wind for you along the way!" Yuan Chuyi said with a smile.
"Everyone has been really frightened these past few days, and they must all be curious about what happened!" Xiao Jing said.
There were about twenty people at a table. Except for Lou Xingyun and the other five, everyone else looked at him, waiting for him to continue. Xiao Jing did not hide anything from them. He bluntly said that he got into trouble because of the robbery case of disaster relief food last time. The target of these killers was himself. They just wanted to capture Yuan Chuyi and his children to blackmail him.
"Isn't it Prince Yu who is in charge of the investigation into the case of the robbery of disaster relief food? Isn't it the King of Yu that they have to deal with? What does it have to do with our family?" Yuan Mochen asked in confusion.
