Chapter 918 Can't figure it out
Ah Cha is holding a knife in his hand, a sharp knife with beautiful patterns all over the blade. This should be a sharp weapon for killing people, but now Ah Cha is cutting vegetables with the knife.
This is a kitchen knife.
While cutting vegetables, Ah Cha secretly sighed that it was a waste of money.
A long-haired puppy was chasing after his son. Qin Cunxian, a nine-year-old son, was amused and laughed loudly, "Puppy is so stupid, come and chase me."
This snow-white puppy with extremely long fur was a gift from Qin Lang. It is said that it is a breed from the Fushi Kingdom in western Taixi.
But Ah Cha didn't think this dog looked like a lion at all. She had seen a lion before, it was the king of beasts, a beast that could compete with a tiger, so it didn't look like this puppy, it was so stupid, It's quite cute, unlike the dogs in their Wumeng tribe, those tall and strong blue tongues, they are called 獢獢, a kind of good helper who can help them hunt and look after the house.
Seeing his son kissing this dog, Ah Cha couldn't help but say, "Cunxian, don't kiss it, it's dirty."
After barking a few times, the son seemed to realize that he was calling him, turned his head and smiled at him, then put the dog down, "Mom, I miss the rhubarb at home, when shall we go back?"
Rhubarb also has a blue tongue. It is a tall hound. It has a noble lineage. It is a sibling of the first litter, and was sent to the palace of Emperor Chang'an for domestication.
"We just stay in Guangzhou, how nice it is." Ah Cha said to his son, "Look at how cute this poodle is, it was given to you by your father."
"That's not my father, my father is in South Central Queensland."
Ah Cha stopped his knife, and said to his son seriously, "Remember, your surname is Qin from now on, and your name is Qin Cunxian, and you are the son of Qin Lang, Duke Wei of the Great Tang Dynasty."
"My surname is Cuan..."
"Shut up, your surname is not Cuan. The one with the surname Cuan has long abandoned our mother and daughter. From now on, your surname is Qin, and Qin Lang is your father!"
The young man stood there stunned, his lips trembling, as if he was about to cry, "Mother, are you really married to Qin?"
Ah Cha picked up the knife and continued to cut vegetables, "That's right, so you will change your surname to Qin in the future. You see, your father likes you very much and specially gave you this puppy. This puppy comes from the Fushi country in Taixi, thousands of miles away. , and, your father also brought you a lot of books, you should study hard in the future, and you can also take the Jinshi examination in Chang'an in the future."
"Mother, are we really not going back to Kunzhou?"
"No return, never return!"
"Aren't you going back to Wumeng, Aunt?"
Ah Cha paused, then continued to chop vegetables, "It's pretty good here. Go wash your hands, and eat right away. After eating, I'll take you to your father's. He found a gentleman for you. You follow this gentleman. Studying, next year, I will officially send you to study in a state school in Guangzhou."
"What about my companions, Amu and Muguo? Are they also studying?"
Amu means boss in barbarian language, and Muguo is the fifth child. Amu and Muguo are actually surnamed Jinai. They are from the Moerageu family of Wumeng. They are a pair of brothers. Their father is the captain of Ahcha’s family. After she died in battle, she took the two brothers in and made them the companions of the third son.
The children of the tribal leaders in the barbarians usually choose a few companions of the same age. These companions are partners. They live and grow together when they are young, and they will form a deep friendship. When they grow up in the future, these companions will also be their best assistants. .
"Well, they also study with you. From now on, Amu will be called Qin Chao, and Mu Guo will be called Qin Yue."
Acha put the iron pan on the stove, skillfully poured oil, served vegetables, and stir-fried. She was very adaptable. After arriving in Guangzhou, Qin Lang arranged for her to live in the backyard of the government office, but she lived alone in a small courtyard. , Originally, the mother and son were also pulled out.
But she still likes to manage by herself, doing laundry and cooking, she does it all by herself, and she doesn't know how to study. She has already adapted to wearing Han Chinese clothes, has also learned to speak Mandarin, and even started to get used to cooking.
At the beginning, she liked to set up a firepit in the living room, and she liked to cook fresh meat after being smoked on the fire. She was not used to the couches, tables and chairs of the Han people, and she didn't like dishes and chopsticks, but now she is slowly adapt.
She is now wearing a purple skirt, a half-arm, and a shawl. Her long hair is also pulled up and combed into a ponytail, with a gold hairpin and a small ivory comb inserted. .
A pearl necklace hung on her slender neck. This necklace was given to her by Qin Lang. I don't know what it means, but Ah Cha accepted it and put it on immediately.
This dress is not as close-fitting as the barbarian's clothing, but it is very comfortable, especially the materials are extremely high-quality, and the cut is also very close-fitting. When he was in Jiaozhou, Qin Lang specially asked a famous tailor to tailor it for her. of. Wearing this Han suit, the whole person seems to have changed. Sometimes when she looks in the mirror, if it weren't for the conspicuous tattoos on half of her face, she would not be able to recognize herself.
The rice is just cooked.
Qin Lang is here.
"Have you eaten?"
"Not yet, don't you want some food, I plan to have some with you."
"I didn't cook your food, I didn't know you would come." Ah Cha also said directly.
"It's okay, it's about adding a pair of chopsticks." Qin Lang was even more rude, and directly sat down at the table in the corridor. Ah Cha then said to his son, "Cunxian, go and get your father some bowls and chopsticks to serve your meal."
Qin Lang looked at the child who seemed to be a little afraid of him, and laughed, this is another happy father.
"Where is the child who has been with you?"
"You said Cun'en? He is on a ten-day break today, and he is tired from reading every day, so I let him have a day off and let him go shopping at the port pier."
"You really like that kid? Zuo Ximan?"
"A very sensible child, and also very hardworking." Qin Lang said.
Ah Cha added a bowl of soup to Qin Lang, "Oxtail soup, stewed all morning, try it."
"It looks good."
"The child Cunxian just came here, and he is always a little uncomfortable. How about you let Cunen take Cunxian to study together, and have a companion?"
Qin Lang glanced at the boy who was going to cook, "You really want him to recognize me as your father? Is he willing?"
"He is only so old, what is he willing to do, since he came out with me, then if I follow you, he will naturally have to recognize you as his father."
Qin Lang looked at the thick white oxtail soup stewed in the bowl, thought for a while and said, "What are your plans for the future, I mean your real thoughts?"
"I followed you, naturally I will go wherever you go!"
Qin Lang took a sip of the soup, and found that the soup was very fresh, and he could even drink a very thick and thick layer of jelly. It was indeed very fragrant.
"oh!"
Ah Cha just let out a soft oh.
"Do you want to go back?"
Ah Cha looked at Qin Lang, "You are still doubting my motive for coming to your side?"
“There is always something unexpected.”
"I followed Duke Wei all the way to Guangzhou, isn't that enough to show my attitude? It's true that the Wumeng tribe is still joining forces with King Cuangui, and it's also true that my grandfather is still fighting side by side with King Cuangui. This is their responsibility." For me, no matter what purpose King Cuangui had at the beginning, when he proposed to send me to you, the relationship between us was over. I know that to you men, women are nothing more than clothes , an appendage, whether it is for your ideals or ambitions, a woman is not worth mentioning, and can be discarded or even given away at any time, but for us, marrying a person is a lifelong entrustment... for a while , you stay and rest, I will serve you!"
Qin Lang shook his head.
The boy came back with a bowl full of rice, Qin Lang got up to take it, and said with a smile, "My appetite is not so big."
"I'll help you drain some."
"Let's share some with you!" Qin Lang divided half a bowl of rice into the boy's bowl, "Sit down and eat together."
The boy sat at the dinner table, very restrained, and he didn't dare to lift his head.
"Let Cun Xian and Cun En study together, okay?"
Qin Lang smiled, "As long as he is willing, of course there is no problem, but it will be more difficult. Cun En is now studying in the newly created Huangpu Academy. I can stay in the academy, where I get up at five o’clock in the morning for morning exercise training, then morning reading, breakfast, and then morning class, with a half-hour break between classes for exercise, and then continue morning class. After lunch, I take a break for half an hour At the same time, classes will continue in the afternoon, and evening self-study will be required after dinner.
In addition to studying, you also need to receive physical training and other exercises. In addition, there are labor classes every day. There are vegetable fields and grain fields in the academy. Although there are special personnel to manage the food and vegetables that the students eat, the students also have to go to the fields to work. , in short, it is very tiring inside, just like entering a military camp, there is no half freedom. Moreover, when you get inside, it doesn't matter who your child is or what your status is. "
Ah Cha said, "Cun Xian is not a spoiled child, he can adapt. Cun En can adapt, and Cun Xian can too."
"In that case, then I'll make arrangements to stay for a ten-day period. If you can't stay, tell me when the time comes, and I'll pick it up later."
"No need." Ah Cha made the decision for his son.
After the meal, the boy bid farewell and left in a panic.
Ah Cha didn't need a servant either, she cleaned up the dishes and washed them in the corridor. Qin Lang sat there, thinking it was very interesting.
"Why don't you use a servant?"
"I want to adapt to life here faster."
After washing the dishes, Ah Cha wiped his hands, "Let's go."
"Where to?"
"Although it's cool here, you can't just perform Zhougong's ceremony here. I've never been outside, and I still feel a little uncomfortable. It's better to stay indoors for the first time."
Qin Lang waved his hand.
"Why, do you dislike me, or are you afraid of me?"
"That's not true, I just think it's a bit weird, and besides, I'm really not sure what you really think."
Ah Cha snorted, "You are a majestic God of War in the Tang Dynasty, and you are also a man who claims to have slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people under his command. Are you still afraid of me as a woman?"
"You are not an ordinary woman, a well-known female general of the Wuman tribe, she is skilled in bow and horse, and she is also good at wielding a pair of mountain axes."
"Take off your clothes, can I still take out a pair of axes from my stomach and chop you?"
"Hahaha, in fact, if it's really nothing, and you're not in a hurry, wouldn't it be good to cultivate your relationship?"
"Hypocritical!"
"Hahaha." Qin Lang burst out laughing, this woman always made him a little bit puzzled, he refused her in Tonghai, she insisted on following. He arranged for her to stay in Jiaozhou, and she followed him to Wu'an. She was left in Wu'an, but she still came to Guangzhou.
These abnormal behaviors made Qin Lang very vigilant. Originally, it would have been fine to leave her alone and send someone to watch, but sometimes, I always feel that this woman is a maverick, and I always want people to find out about her.
"This set of clothes is actually not suitable for you, and you are not suitable for washing, cooking, and taking care of children. You should be a heroic female general, riding horses and whips, commanding thousands of troops, showing power on the battlefield, and being a heroine. That's right, the current you, the pearl is covered with dust."
Ah Cha shook his head.
"You're wrong. I didn't have a choice before. We lived in Wumeng Mountain. We didn't have any laws to speak of, and we didn't have any government offices. What we depended on was the number of people, **** courage, and daring to fight. Sometimes when someone calls, it doesn’t matter whether it’s male or female, old or young, so barbarians are very barbaric, because it’s a barbaric world, so you can’t be barbaric.”
"But what woman doesn't like beautiful dresses, clean and beautiful, who doesn't want to live a stable life? If there is a choice, I definitely don't want to practice martial arts or ride a horse. It's calluses, the two arms pulled are as thick as a man's, and the two thighs are worn out and calloused after practicing horse riding. Also, on the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes, and injuries are commonplace. A good woman can also get full There are scars on my body. Look at the tattoos on my face, why do I have to tattoo half of my face? Actually, I don’t want to show off, but if you look closely, you will find that there are scars under the tattoos on my face.”
"In order to cover up this scar, I got a tattoo on this half of my face."
"Come to Han, let me know what a real woman is, and you Han women are truly happy."
Qin Lang carefully looked at it, and really realized that he hadn't noticed that there was a scar under the tattoo before.
"I would rather be an ordinary woman, even a woman who can't cook well and can't dress up, and I don't want to be a barbarian female general. After the first murder, I used to have nightmares and couldn't sleep for a long time .Even now, sometimes I wake up in my sleep. Although it has been a long time, killing people is not much different from killing pigs, cows and chickens. When I raise a knife, I will be clean and neat, and the blood will not splash on my body. But in the end it's still killing..."
"Everyone praises you as the God of War. I heard that you have fought many battles and led troops to kill hundreds of thousands of enemies. Do you have nightmares at night?"
Qin Lang chuckled.
"I used to do it, but now I don't. It's been a long time since I had a dream of killing on the battlefield. Maybe it's because of numbness."
"Then what do you dream about now?"
"Now I have very few dreams, because I live a fulfilling life, and I don't think wildly, but occasionally I dream, dreaming of wives, concubines and children."
"That means you are a good man!"
In the afternoon, the two were on the porch, chatting with each other!
