Chapter 16

Zhou Helan started at the end of the Wei Dynasty. Although he was later revered as a national teacher, he was criticized because of his origin and blood, all because his biological mother was a Xiwei. +++ Catino Novel Network

Nowadays, the three kingdoms of Daye, Yuze, and Xiwei stand together, but more than a hundred years ago, these three kingdoms actually belonged to the same line, and they all split from the declining state of Wei.

After the death of the State of Wei, the eight great generals of the State of Wei supported their troops and stood up for a long period of time. Later, Xiao Yanhong, the leader of the great generals of the State of Zhu, was adopted as king by the other five great generals, and he became the capital of Yejing and became the emperor. , Is the Emperor Taizu of Daye.

The other two great generals, Xue Chang and Huai Shu’an, were sentenced to Da Ye and became kings because they refused to respect Taizu as emperor. Xue Chang united with the nomadic Xideng people and became king in Zaiguo and established the Xidang regime; Huaishuan became king in Fuliang and established Yuze.

After more than a hundred years, the Wei state did not exist, and the three kingdoms of Daye, Yuze, and Xiwei were separated.

And Zhou Helan’s mother is from the West Dung. Xue Changzai Zaiguo became the queen, tore up the covenant with the Xidang people, and began to suppress the Xidang people aggressively. Although the name of the country is still called Xidang people, the status of the Xidang people is actually extremely low and they are regarded as low-level people. Livestock trading.

And like Zhou Helan, a child born by a dung with an unknown father is the lowest among the untouchables, and everyone can be bullied.

In the last life, An Changqing only knew that he had been criticized for a long time because of his birth, and it was Wang Yuze who used him against all opinions. Sure enough, he also knew the gratitude, and under the name of a military teacher, King Yuze made plans, and at the right time, he sent his troops north to plan (kill sha) the two big pillar countries, try to quell the chaos of the refugees, take down Yejing, and help Yuze. The king becomes the emperor.

But I didn’t know that Zhou Helan would actually be in Yejing at this time. And it happened to be so coincidental that he let himself save the person back. He thought of Zhou Helan’s visit to the mass grave in the last life, saying that Xiao Zhige had been kind to him, and what he wanted to talk about was what happened today (fa fa).

In the previous life, Xiao Zhige should have scared the farmer away like today, leaving him with life-saving water and wound medicine. It’s just that this life with more of his variables, unexpectedly rescued people back.

An Changqing looked at him brightly, thinking that this might be an opportunity to change everything.

In the previous life, all kinds of things suffice to show that Zhou Helan is a person who knows what to do, and he has the materials of the sky and the earth. Later, Yuze was able to annex Daye, half of it was the internal strife of Daye, and the remaining half was because of Zhou Helan.

Such a person must not let him go to Yuze again and become Xiao Zhige’s enemy.

An Changqing’s thoughts turned swiftly, and soon he had an idea. He helped him up and asked, “Are you not from Yejing? What was going on on the official road before?”

When Zhou Helan heard him pierce her identity, her face (color) turned pale, and she pursed her lips and said, “I…I came to Yejing to find my father with my mother, but my mother was ill on the way, and I didn’t have the money to buy medicine, so I went to steal or steal. The food…”

She seemed to be ashamed to talk. Zhou Helan’s face (color) was already flushed when she talked about stealing things. She seemed to be afraid of An Changqing’s misunderstanding, and hurriedly explained: “But I will pay it back. I will go when my mother recovers. I’ll pay the restaurant as a helper…”

He said that his voice was getting smaller and smaller behind him, and he hung his head with a sapling sapling. If it weren’t for his distinctive features and the right name, An Changqing could hardly believe that the child in front of him who looked younger than himself would turn out to be the determined Yuze national teacher in the future.

The original thoughts of wooing became lighter, but a bit of sincere pity was born.

An Changqing said: “You are like this…I’m afraid it’s hard to find work (gan gan), right?”

Zhou Helan looked up at him, and said firmly, “I will continue to look for it, I can do everything, and I can endure hardship…”

An Changqing sighed and smiled and said, “Why don’t you follow me?”

“I’m going to open a few shops, just short of manpower. The salary is the same as everyone else, how about living in the house?”

Zhou Helan suddenly raised her head to look at him, and was silent for a long time before gritting her teeth: “The son is willing to take me in, I am grateful. It’s just… it’s just me, I’m actually a dungeon.”

What the Xihu people represent, not only Xihu, but even the Daye people adjacent to Xihu also know.

Therefore, he and his mother found Yejing all the way, and they were all overwhelmed. Even if his mother was seriously ill, he wanted to find a job to earn medicine money, but no one wanted him. It seems that if you come into contact with the West Dung people more, you will get a humble atmosphere.

However, An Changqing did not (show) the expression of disgust in his imagination. He said: “The western dung is the western dung, and here is the big Ye, which is different from the western dung.”

Zhou Helan widened her eyes and looked at him, her lips squirming, and suddenly she knelt down and knocked her head at him: “I would like to follow the son, and let him send it in the future.”

An Changqing was taken aback by him, and hurriedly helped the person up, saying: “You can recover from the illness first, and you won’t be too late to work for me when you recover from the injury.”

After that, I remembered that he said that his mother was sick, and said with concern: “Where is your mother? Have you seen the doctor?”

Zhou Helan’s original excitement fell: “I have seen the doctor, but the doctor said that it can’t be cured, so I can only hang my life on drugs.”

No wonder… In the previous life, An Changqing had only heard of his unbearable origin, but rarely heard people say how his mother was. At that time, his mother should have been dead, right?

“There is a doctor in the palace with superb medical skills. If you want, you can take your mother over and let Doctor Hu take a look.”

Zhou Helan’s eyes lit up and she immediately said, “I am willing!”

An Changqing patted him on the shoulder: “Can you still go? If you can, then follow me back to the palace first.”

Zhou Helan nodded repeatedly. He was worried about his mother’s illness. For fear that An Changqing would not let him go, he quickly stood up and walked two steps to prove: “This little injury is not a problem.”

An Changqing laughed and left the doctor’s house with others.

After returning to the Zhuangzi, An Changqing found the Zhuangtou and asked him to select a few girls who were of the right age and clever at the nearby Zhuanghu family to educate them first. When mother and sister arrive at Zhuangzi in the future, someone will be available.

After explaining the scattered things, it happened that Xiao Zhige also came over. An Changqing smiled at him and pointed to Zhou Helan and said, “This is Zhou Helan, and I will follow me from now on.”

Xiao Zhige frowned, glanced at Zhou Helan, but didn’t say anything, just nodded and said, “Go home.”

Because Zhou Helan was injured, An Changqing still let him ride a carriage with herself. When I went back, I passed through a village. Zhou Helan said that his mother lived in the village. An Changqing and his party walked around into the village, but Zhou Helan took them to a deserted temple.

Half of the temple has collapsed, and only the remaining half is also crumbling. The backside was blocked with some thatch and branches to cover up a small space for people. Zhou Helan’s mother slept there, lying face-in, unable to see what she looked like.

Zhou Helan yelled in Western dialect, and the woman slowly turned her body and responded with joy.

An Changqing looked from behind and found that Zhou Helan’s mother had deeper facial features than his, with deep eye sockets, a tall nose, and a well-defined face. The skin (color) is pale, which is a typical appearance of the dung.

Zhou Helan carefully stripped away the thatch and branches, and spoke a few words to the woman in a warm voice. Then I saw the woman struggling to get up, bowing to An Changqing, awkwardly expressing her thanks in Da Ye dialect.

Seeing that she was really weak, An Changqing quickly asked Zhou Helan to support her on the carriage.

Zhou Helan smiled gratefully, and wanted to say thank you, but was stopped by An Changqing, and said helplessly: “Enough, don’t be obsessed with these pompous gifts.”

Zhou Helan stopped then and helped her mother onto the carriage. The temple was ruined and simple, and the mother and son had no luggage to pack. Zhou Helan picked up a shabby but fairly clean baggage beside her feet, and prepaid the wages with An Changqing in advance, and went to the village to get the food stolen by him. The family’s money was paid off, and then the group resumed their journey.

Because the carriage was given to Zhou Helan’s mother and son, An Changqing had to ride with Xiao Zhige again.

The burgundy horse happily flicked its tail and wandered around with horseshoes. An Changqing thought that after entering the city, he would have countless strange eyes staring at him, Yu suddenly said: “The prince will teach me to ride a horse another day?”

Xiao Zhige lowered his eyes when he heard the words, An Changqing lowered his head with his back to him, just (exposed) a white neck, and a few strands of black (colored) broken hair fell mischievously, very cute. If you learn to ride a horse… you won’t see it in the future.

Xiao Zhige said: “No time recently.”

An Changqing didn’t care too much, and said casually: “Then I’ll call Tiehu or Zhao Shi teach me.”

Zhao Shi, who was walking behind, was so scared that his hairs stood up.

Immediately afterwards, I heard their prince say without expression: “I will teach you.”

An Changqing was at a loss: “Didn’t the prince say that there is no time?”

Xiao Zhige was silent for a moment: “I have time.”

“…” An Changqing looked back at him suspiciously.

Xiao Zhige glanced at him and looked away without a trace.

Why do you want to learn to ride a horse, isn’t it good to ride with me?

***

When he returned to the palace, An Changqing asked Wang Fugui to take Zhou Helan’s mother and son to the guest house to settle down. He also asked Hu Shifei to help with the diagnosis and treatment. After that, he called the middleman over and signed the contract of Zhuangzi.

So far, the Zhuangzi in Qingyun Mountain has been put under his name.

An Changqing was a little embarrassed when giving the money, after all, the money came from the accounts of the palace. Although Xiao Zhige said to use it casually, it was a private property after all, and he still felt like he was taking advantage of it.

So after waiting for the middleman to leave, he slowly sat next to Xiao Zhige, and whispered, “These are the silver I borrowed from the public, and I will return it when I earn the silver.”

“…Don’t pay it back.” Xiao Zhige’s eyes darkened.

An Changqing didn’t notice, and said with a smile: “The prince is so obsessed with me, but I will be arrogant and profligate and profligate.”

“Yeah.” Xiao Zhige glanced at him: “The silver in the mansion is enough to squander.”

An Changqing was stunned, and smiled again after the recollection, her eyes flashed: “But I don’t want to be arrogant and extravagant, but only enjoy pleasure…”

“They dare not.” The corners of Xiao Zhige’s infected mouth curled slightly: “No one dares to arrange the Northern War Princess.”

The author has something to say: Counseling: here you don’t like me? Why would you not ride a horse with me?
