The arms agent concubine takes the RV to raise a baby
Chapter 62 Watch
Hua Xiyu and the old man rode their horses until dark, and thought they were safe, so they stopped in a forest to eat something to replenish their energy. Now, the dry food that Ma Biao prepared for one person and one horse must be shared by two people and two horses, and it is estimated that it can only last for three days at most. If they cannot reach Xiaojing Mountain in three days, they will have to find food somehow. It is not a problem, but it is very troublesome.
In Prince Xuan's mansion, Hua Hongming didn't have time to think about anything. He ran to the river and jumped down. With a "bang", he fell into the water. Prince Xuan saw that something was wrong and jumped in as well. He knew the situation below best.
When Hua Hongyan saw his younger brother jump down, Prince Xuan followed suit. After a moment of hesitation, he also jumped down.
The three men standing in the water were dumbfounded. The water below was just above their knees. With Hua Xiyu's height, there was no way he would be drowned.
But I looked everywhere but couldn't find anyone. The water flow was slow in this area, so it was impossible for the person to be washed away. Where was the person? Where did he go?
Hua Hongming didn't care about what others thought. He wanted to go to the deep water to find his sister. His sister must have been frightened and swept away by the current. He had to save his sister.
Prince Xuan pulled him back and said, "You are looking for death. How can you go to deep water casually? Do you want to live?"
"But my sister..."
"Don't worry, she will be fine." Prince Xuan seemed to have thought of something. His cousin had already fallen in love with Miss Hua, but he was nowhere to be seen at this time. He must know something that they didn't know.
Hua Jiayi found Liang crying. She had to play the victim first so that her parents wouldn't blame her. No matter how she explained, everyone saw that she was the one who knocked off her sister's hair crown, revealing her short hair, and then she jumped into the river out of shame. She couldn't explain or clarify, just admit her mistake.
Daddy didn't care much about that idiot anyway.
Then I felt a little happy again. It would be easier to die like this. After all, I didn't push her into the river. She wanted to jump on her own initiative.
Prime Minister Hua was standing on the Diaoyutai, waiting for his two sons to come up. He had no idea what was happening below. If his two sons were to be harmed because of that fake, he would be really sorry for Fu Zizhen.
Fortunately, within two cups of tea, three men came up from the side and failed to save the person.
"Hurry up and arrange for people to search downstream. We must find the person alive or dead." Looking at the three men who came up empty-handed, Prime Minister Hua quickly ordered Butler Xu to do it.
In fact, he had the same idea as Hua Jiayi. It would be good to die like this. This shame has existed for too long. Now that the imperial edict has not been issued, he is not considered to be disobeying the order. This result is really great, but he still has to pretend on the surface.
When Princess Xuan heard that someone had jumped into the river, she didn't care much because she knew that the water here was very shallow and no one would drown.
When Princess Jing'an found out that it was Hua Xiyu who jumped into the river, she almost laughed out loud. This was just right, as it saved her the trouble of doing it herself.
Miss Pan Er did not have the good self-control of her mother. Although she smiled reservedly, her overjoyed expression made it clear to everyone how happy she was. It is much harder to hold back joy than to hold back sadness.
The previous gloom was swept away, and she immediately ran to the front yard with a smile. She wanted to find her cousin and let him know that she was the most suitable person for him.
Dabao and Erbao were moving among the crowd when they suddenly heard that someone had jumped into the river. How could the kids not join in the fun? They held Chunliu's hand and were heading to the river.
"Let's not join in the fun. It's too dangerous by the river." Chunliu didn't want to go where there were crowds. The safety of the children was more important to her than anything else.
Seeing someone running towards the river, some people said it was a pity for the eldest daughter of Huafu, who had just returned from Shuiyue Temple.
"Who did you say jumped into the river?" Chunliu grabbed the girl who was walking quickly and asked anxiously.
“I heard it was Miss Hua,” the girl’s maid replied, and the two of them hurried to the river.
Chunliu found it unbelievable. How could this be possible? The young lady had just returned to Washington to be the eldest daughter. How could she be so depressed as to jump into the river?
"Impossible," the two little kids said in unison. They had just found their mother, and there was no way their mother would abandon them. They had just agreed to meet at that place in a while, and it was impossible for her to jump into the river.
Now Chunliu no longer cared about the safety of the two little kids. She told the maid following behind her to keep an eye on the prince and the princess, and she hurried to the river. She had to make sure that it was definitely not her lady.
Suddenly, a strong force grabbed her wrist and said, "Aunt Chunliu, don't go. The young lady is fine. I have already caught up with her."
It was A Shui. Before Liu Jingcheng left, he asked him to take good care of the two children and Chun Liu.
King Xuan immediately arranged for people to go down to the river in small boats to rescue people, and Prime Minister Hua also arranged for Steward Xu to rush downstream to rescue people.
The Osmanthus Banquet at Prince Xuan's Mansion did not end because of this.
Just jump into the river. Everyone should feel sorry for the person who caused the disaster. Everyone should eat their fill and drink. Of course, everyone in Washington left the party early and went home.
The two little dumplings knew that their mother was fine, and their happy mood returned. The brother and sister were young and of high status, so they were arranged to sit at the head seat at a table with people of the same age. At the table were people of the same age from various families and mansions, including the five-year-old grandson of Duke Yu, the grandchildren of Duke Ying, and the grandchildren of some first-rank officials, all of whom were about the same age as them.
Dabao looked at his watch from time to time, then looked at his watch again, which aroused the curiosity of the other children. Those who used to call them wild children no longer called them that.
He was checking whether the time his mother taught him to tell was correct. His mother said that when three needles overlapped, it was noon during the day and midnight at night.
At this time, the three needles had overlapped, and then the time chimes were heard, it was noon.
Dabao laughed secretly. It turned out that this was used to tell time. No wonder his mother always raised her wrist to check the time. It turned out that he was using the same thing as his mother.
Dabao was extremely happy at this moment. As a child, he didn't know how to hide his emotions, so he just smiled foolishly.
The kid sitting at the same table had been eyeing his watch for a long time. The fat boy, who had tried to snatch it away before but failed, wanted to take it again, but when he remembered what Hua Xiyu said, he backed off.
The other child was not so cautious and reached out to grab it, saying, "Let me see what's wrong."
"No, this is given to me by my mother." Dabao raised the watch proudly. This smug and ostentatious look made people even more uncomfortable.
When Erbao saw that his brother was about to suffer a loss, he immediately stepped forward to stop the child and said, "My mother said that this is a one-of-a-kind treasure. You can see it if you want, but you have to pay silver, one or two taels of silver for a while."
"If you know what this is, I won't charge you and will let you see it to your heart's content."
Erbao wrote the answer on a piece of paper and turned it upside down on the table, waiting for everyone to guess. So several children made various guesses, but of course they were all wrong in the end. When they turned over the paper, they saw, "watch".
“You did it on purpose. It’s clearly called a bracelet, but you wrote watch on purpose,” several children expressed their dissatisfaction.
Dabao raised his watch and showed the dial to the little fat boy from the Chen family, "Is your bracelet like this?"
Zhai Liangyu was the sponsor of the drinks, but he was very tactful. He knew that it was not appropriate for him to stay too long at such an occasion where powerful people gathered. After he finished his business, he had already met the people he wanted to meet and had made friends with those he wanted to make. He could develop the relationship slowly in the future. Only by playing the long game can he catch the big fish. He did not cause trouble to others, nor bring bad luck to himself, so he said goodbye and left.
I saw a few kids arguing and caught a glimpse of the watch on Dabao’s wrist. Damn, isn’t this a watch that should only be available in modern times?
"My Lord, may I ask where did you buy this watch?" Zhai Liangyu's youngest son Zhai Chenxue ran over and asked. His two elder brothers had watches, but they did not, so they asked their father to buy one for them. However, their father said, "There are only a few of these in Nanyue, and you can buy them nowhere else."
But now when he saw other people wearing watches, he suddenly felt that he had been deceived by his father. Of course he had to find out where the watches came from, and then save money to buy one himself.
When Zhai Liangyu traveled through time, telephone watches were not yet popular, so he didn't know much about them. But the basic function of a watch is to tell time. He suddenly felt a little annoyed and wondered why he didn't buy a watch for each of his children.
Now, one of the two pairs of couple watches, the men's watch, has been given to the eldest son, and the other one he doesn't wear himself, so he gave it directly to the second son. His two wives don't want to wear it either, because they think it's ugly, neither gold, silver nor jade, and doesn't seem to be valuable, so his two pairs of couple watches were really bought in vain.
He stood aside waiting for his son. He also wanted to know where the young prince's watch came from, but there was no rush. There would be plenty of opportunities to ask Prince Hong.
"This was given to my brother by mom. Mom said it is a one-of-a-kind treasure," Erbao couldn't wait to answer for his brother. They had already found their mom, and they always emphasized that it was mom who gave the gift.
Zhai Chenxue was not giving up and wanted to ask more questions, but Zhai Liangyu called him, and the meaning was very clear: if he asked too many questions, the other person would get annoyed, and besides, how could a child explain clearly?
Zhai Chenxue had no choice but to give up and reluctantly followed his parents back to their home in Purple Crow Lane.
Zhai Liangyu had four sons and two daughters. The eldest and second sons were engaged in business, so the third and fourth sons had to pursue a career in officialdom. Even in later generations, being an official was the first choice. Otherwise, no matter how much money the eldest and second sons earned, they would probably not be able to protect the family.
He planned very well. The four brothers supported each other. In the future, the Zhai family would be rich and powerful. The two daughters would not be looked down upon for being merchants. They would marry into good families and have their brothers to protect them. They would surely live a happy life in the future.
He displayed the spirit of the college entrance examination, and found all the real questions from previous years for his sons. He personally marked the key points for his sons and designated the direction of their studies. Although he himself could not even pass the top five, he had no problem passing the imperial examination in ancient times.
Sure enough, under the supervision of his father, the third son, Zhai Chenrui, passed the examination for a scholar at the age of eleven and will take part in the imperial examination next year. However, he feels that his sons are still too young and it is not a good idea to force their growth in a few years. At least they should wait until they are eighteen years old and can think about problems independently before entering the military.
Looking at the way the fourth brother asked about the watch just now, he is clearly a child with a very childish heart. The brothers Zhai Chenrui and Zhai Chenxue are only a few months apart, and he can no longer tell which one is born by Jiaying and which one is born by Zhaodi.
A group of children surrounded Dabao to look at their watches. They watched the hands go around in circles and listened to the ticking sound. They all found it magical.
"I'll ask my grandfather to buy me one too." Someone snorted. They were paid one tael of silver and were only allowed to see it for a short while. They couldn't even hold it in their hands to see it. They could only see it on Dabao's arm. They were very dissatisfied.
"My mother said this is one-of-a-kind and can't be bought," Erbao once again emphasized what his mother said, feeling proud and complacent, and venting all his grievances about being ridiculed as a motherless wild child.
When the banquet at Prince Xuan's Mansion was over and Chunliu brought the babies back to the palace, Dabao and Erbao had earned more than one hundred taels of silver at the banquet. When they handed the silver to Chunliu, she was overjoyed. It turned out that our babies were so good at making money!
"Keep it for yourselves, my dears, and buy me something to spend when I come back."
