Buyi was taught very well.

His manners, speech and behavior are all of a gentleman's demeanor.

It’s a pity that I haven’t received any systematic training.

He knew countless words, but had never even seen a piece of paper.

"Zhang Liang, you have to think about Bu Yi and the child in your wife's belly."

Huang Shigong finally looked at Zhang Liang with disapproval, left a sentence "What is the fault of my young son", and left with Xiao He.

That night, Zhang Liang was sleepless again.

I already feel a little regretful, and I don’t know how many years it will take before we see each other again.

But unexpectedly, Huang Shigong came again the next day.

This time, it was just him.

When Huang Shigong came, he didn't care about Zhang Liang and was only focused on teaching him without any doubt.

"This is paper, so fragrant, so white, better than any of Bu Yi's clothes."

The child was so innocent that he was reluctant to use the paper and pen. He held them in front of him with care and took a deep breath.

Huang Shigong touched Buyi's head lovingly and said, "Use it. Grandpa will bring it to Buyi more often in the future. The force of writing with a brush and a branch is different, and it takes practice."

This time, Buyi did not look at Zhang Liang again, but nodded solemnly and thanked Huang Shigong.

So, I stayed there for a month.

Huang Shigong came every day, always carrying a big bag.

In just one month, the entire courtyard underwent earth-shaking changes, and even Shuiniang smiled more often.

On this day, Huang Shigong, who had not spoken to Zhang Liang for a long time, suddenly looked at Zhang Liang seriously.

"Tomorrow is the last day to sign up for the Science Report. Do you want me to write your name on it?"

His tone was heavy and a gloom flashed across his eyes. Worried that Zhang Liang didn't understand the seriousness of the matter, he added another sentence.

"Today is the last time I'll come here."

Zhang Liang was still hesitating, but Buyi suddenly started crying.

He had always been well-behaved and had not cried since he was old enough to understand things. But at this moment, he burst into tears, "Grandpa, don't leave. Don't you want to give up? Father, father, don't let Grandpa go..."

The child's crying is heartbreaking to hear.

Huang Shigong thought of the first time he came to the courtyard, the desolateness of the courtyard, and the frail family of three. He embraced Buyi with pity in his heart, "Poor child..."

Shuiniang, who had been secretly listening nearby, could no longer hold back her tears when she heard this. She turned her back, covered her mouth and cried silently.

"Father, Father, wuwuwu...Father, please tell me quickly, don't let Grandpa go, Father..."

"Grandpa, please don't go, Grandpa..."

The crying sound penetrated into Zhang Liang's heart and lungs. His eyes turned red, his breathing became heavier, and his whole body began to tremble.

At this moment, with a "thump", Shuiniang fell to the ground.

"what--"

As Shuiniang cried out in pain, blood immediately gushed out from under her skirt.

"Shui Niang, what's wrong with you, Shui Niang?!" Zhang Liang was shocked. He ran to Shui Niang and held her in his arms. Looking at the blood on the ground, he felt his brain go blank.

"Mother, mother, what's wrong with you? Why are you bleeding? Mother, mother—"

Buyi's panicked cry followed closely behind.

Huang Shigong also walked over to the side of the others and said anxiously, "The baby is about to be born. Hurry up, call a doctor."

As he said this, he ran towards the courtyard gate and grabbed the black-armored guard's arm, "Mrs. Shui is about to give birth. Call a doctor quickly, and it would be best if you could call a female doctor."

The black-armored guard looked at the large hand on his arm, remained still, and replied loudly, "We have orders from above. We are only to guard the traitor and are not allowed to leave, regardless of life or death."

"This, this, this is a premature birth. Without a doctor, there's no way Shui Niang will survive..."

Huang Shigong anxiously looked at the people in the yard, then at the black-armored guards, "Call a doctor. My son is innocent. Please give me some face and go call him..."

The black-armored guard still stood with his back straight, motionless.

Huang Shigong became even more anxious. "He is not a traitor. He wants to take the imperial examination. He is not a traitor. Go and tell Black Armor Order that he is not a traitor—"

The black-armored guards still didn't move.

At this moment, a sharp pain came over her. Shui Niang could no longer hold back and cried out in pain, "Ah——"

She grasped Zhang Liang tightly with her hands, tears in her eyes, and looked at him pleadingly, "Husband..."

Zhang Liang couldn't bear it any longer, looked up at the sky and slowly closed his eyes.

A line of clear tears flowed down the corner of his eyes. He took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, there was no trace of hesitation in his red eyes.

"Zhang Liang, surrender."

A hoarse voice with a crying tone.

"Zhang Liang, surrender—"

Each cry was louder than the last, as if trying to express all the resentment.

"Zhang Liang, I surrender and am willing to serve the King of Qin—"

As soon as the voice came out, the black-armored guard at the door immediately turned around and nodded to Huang Shigong, "Master Huang, please go back. I will go and call someone."

As he spoke, the black-armored guard quickly ran towards the exit of the palace road.

Huang Shigong also turned around and went back, frantically looking for firewood.

"Where's the stove? Water, water, yes, boil some water."

How would the old man know what a woman needs to have a child? He is an old widower, so how could he understand these things?

"Hot water, anything else? Hey, Zhang Liang, don't just stand there, quickly carry your wife to the bed..."

"Buyi, Buyi, come and help Grandpa boil some water. Your mother is about to give birth. Quickly prepare a clean basin..."

In an instant, the whole courtyard became noisy.

The Black Armor Guards acted quickly. The doctor and the female doctor soon arrived with medicine boxes and forceps. As soon as they arrived, everything immediately became orderly.

They are waiting for a new life.

The other two courtyards, which had listened to the entire story, were not calm.

Liu Ji, who was standing on the other side of the wall, burst into tears. He didn't know whether he was moved or envious. He only knew that from then on, in addition to quarreling, he had another sport.

Every day, I yell at the top of my lungs:

I surrender, I surrender, I surrender sincerely!

Your Majesty, I am willing to enter the palace as a slave——

My heart is devoted to Daqin, and I have no other intentions——

On the other side, Xiang Yu and his friends' yard fell into a strange silence.

At first, Xiang Yu wanted to curse a few times, but Zhang Liang was not determined enough. However, the cry of the newborn baby choked all his curses in his throat.

He could get angry at men, but if he was asked to get angry at women, children and young kids, he would not be able to bring himself to curse at them.

"Ugh……"

All the resentment and anguish turned into a sigh.

"Ugh……"

That day, Xiang Yu was sighing again while holding the stone bench in the yard.

Seeing this, Xiang Liang wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and then closed it again.

Zhang Liang's family across the street hasn't moved out yet. I heard they're going to wait until the imperial examination is over and then arrange accommodation for him based on his grades.

However, the Zhang family courtyard is now visibly getting better.

From time to time, the sound of a baby crying could be heard, along with the voice of a female doctor and the sound of Buyi reading.

Of course, there was also Liu Ji's annoying announcement: "Hey, roast chicken, I smell it. Brother Zhang, are you having roast chicken today?"

"Brother Zhang, please say hello to me. When you go out this time, don't forget me..."

"If you see His Majesty, you must say a few good words for me—"

Xiang Yu: So annoying! Lift the stone for one more hour!
