Men, listen, grab the top of the mountain and stand in the center position

Jingzhou government office.

A cold wind blew, accompanied by a scattering of snow. The riders dismounted first, and a tall man in a cloak strode to the carriage in the middle of the procession. "Mingxi."

The door curtain was lifted from the inside, and a pair of eyes similar to those of the tall man looked around outside, his face slightly pale, "Daddy, we're here!"

Qin Xiuyuan wrapped his daughter in his cloak to block the wind and helped her get off the carriage. Mingxi was dressed warmly after catching a cold and felt that her father was making a big deal out of nothing. "Daddy, my daughter is almost well."

"Ah."

The Jingzhou government office still retains the overall style of ten years ago. It has been renovated twice during this period, adding pavilions, towers and calligraphy by scholars.

"Is this our old home?"

"Yes, this is Daddy and Mom's first home in the South. You and Yun Xiao were born here."

Qin Er arranged for people to come and clean up the dust and re-burn the earthen dragon in advance.

The father and daughter walked together and found that there were more and more small toys of dolls and small hydrangeas covered with dust in the room. Ten years had passed in the blink of an eye, and the colors had faded. There were several holes bitten by mice and they were quietly placed there.

Until the little girl grew up and revisited the old place.

"My brother and I also played with hydrangeas, just like my younger siblings."

Qin Xiuyuan touched his daughter's head and said, "Of course. Daddy remembers that your mother often arranged new and interesting toys for you two, including scooters. Your brother used the one-legged scooter to play while standing, and you used the scooter to play while sitting."

The father and daughter rummaged through the utility room, sending dust flying. Mingxi covered her mouth and said, "Daddy, I won't look for it anymore. Don't breathe it in. It's dirty."

"Your mother took you north, but she probably didn't take these two cars with her. They must have been stolen."

Recalling the time when he became a father for the first time at the age of nearly 30, he reminisced as he walked along, "I was full of energy and made a wish every day to let Mingxi grow up safely and healthily. Daddy will take good care of you."

"Daddy and Mommy did it."

Mingxi smiled widely. It turned out that learning never ends. The world outside books is bigger and more fleshed out. The world is different from the black and white words. Beyond black and white, there are shades of gray that are difficult to define as good or bad.

"Brother and Mingxi have grown up now. In the next ten years, Xiaosan and Xiaosi will also grow up."

This overflowing self-confidence, this understanding, seemed familiar. Qin Xiuyuan lowered his head to look down at his daughter, who looked up. His large, watery, expressive eyes were quirky and full of confidence, able to see through all the evil in the world, and he exuded a calm and composed inner self.

"Your mother even said you're nothing like her, always clamoring for having children and losing money." Qin Xiuyuan said proudly, leaning sideways to shield himself from the wind. "You have her personality. There are actually two of the smartest people in the world in your father's family."

Mingxi chuckled, "Mom is right, you're lucky to have the four of us."

For a smart person like my mother, having a baby is not just a loss, it is a huge loss.

The female soldier accompanying on the road had an older sister who was a free and easy female soldier. She was independent and would not marry. She said that having a baby would be a burden. If she had money, she would buy land and a shop, and live a good life. However, as an ordinary female soldier, she lived a very comfortable life.

Like Aunt Qing and Aunt Lu at home, they are aunts on weekdays, and they have face in the mansion. They are even more decent when they go out. During the weekend, they call their friends to go to Leyouyuan in groups to enjoy the breeze and watch dances. They have houses in the city, no shortage of beautiful clothes and jewelry, and plenty of money in their hands.

My mother, a wealthy woman who rarely leaves the house, and who has a loving relationship with my father for many years, still has to bear and raise children for him. It's not that my mother doesn't like going out, but there are people at home she can't let go of. She used to have a sickly eldest daughter, now a youngest daughter with an ear disease, and two worry-free sons...

What's more, there are hidden dangers outside that are hard to see.

If his mother had not married, or if there was no inheritance in the family, Mingxi could not imagine how comfortable Boss Ji could live with all the good ideas flying around and money and connections!

The world's delicacies, natural scenery, exotic customs, everything Mingxi thinks of now is within Boss Ji's reach, and he can even recruit the world's most handsome men.

Just like the female host in Bazhou, who had four husbands, it sounded like a mystery at first, but when they stood before you, all smiling, you realized how vast the world was. Back home, you always thought Chang'an was huge, as long as a straight road. Walking from east to west, it felt like you were measuring the world with your feet.

Nowadays, people only need to walk half a circle around the few buildings built by my father to understand that how can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan!

Standing on a high hill, tens of thousands of soldiers were in uniform, stopped at a corner of the street, and there were beggars with both hands and feet waiting to be fed. There were so many aspects of life that it was impossible to describe and see them all, and she felt it truly this time.

Why is the sky so high and the earth so vast? It is because I realize the infinity of the universe.

Infinite, mysterious and profound.

It will never be like spreading out a poem at home. From the first sentence to the last, it is a continuous painting, the next sentence follows the previous sentence, naturally and completely.

Actually, it is not. Every sentence is enough to form a river and mountain.

The sky is high and the earth is vast, and I feel the infinity of the universe.

When excitement ends and sadness comes, you will realize the limit of gain and loss.

This time she understood the previous sentence.

Perhaps the next sentence will require another opportunity to experience the excitement of this poem coming alive.

My mother insisted on letting me go out, so that I could read more, think more, remember more and experience more. She didn't read any books along the way, but she lived by the books she had read before.

A woman as insightful as my mother is so remarkable. If she says that doing business is a loss, then it is really a loss.

My mother must have imagined a life as free and easy as birds, insects and fish. Now she has to live a life with so many constraints and inconveniences. How can she say that she is not at a disadvantage?

A doll is not necessarily a mother's show-off, but rather a burden to her. If she had known there were no dolls, an ordinary female soldier would have walked briskly, free from worries, and could achieve whatever she wanted.

Listening to his daughter's story, Qin Xiuyuan was so shocked. They were so similar, really so similar. One Wangshu gave birth to another little Wangshu, with eyes exactly like his. It was as if a person with a woman's will and thoughts had grown in his flesh and blood.

His body and her thoughts are all grown on his daughter, but her favorite poem is still his favorite masterpiece of all time.

"My dear, you are only thirteen years old. Daddy will probably arrange for you to take the imperial examination in a few years. Every sentence you say is well-organized and unique."

"Daddy, my daughter is fourteen!"

It's only been a few days since the Lunar New Year, and the age has already been added. Qin Xiuyuan laughed, "Okay. Fourteen. Mother lost a lot of money when she gave birth to you, but she thought clearly and made the best of it. My dear daughter, you too, life is full of wonders, you must always keep the novelty of walking on."

People who are too smart can easily become caged and prisoners of themselves. Women who overthink, who think to the point of despair, can sometimes give up on themselves, not understanding the point of living a monotonous life every day.

He had to keep his daughter away from such traps.

Being alive is the best thing.
