Chapter 108 The Bluebird is Coming
Chapter 108 The Bluebird is Coming
The two little ones talk about protecting their mother in their dreams. Jiang Lu feels that Qin Xingfu really gave birth to several children to repay his kindness, but he didn't expect that the several children in their family were his retribution.
"Sir, the young master is begging you to go back?"
Xuhe asked as he helped her wipe her hair.
"I don't want to go back. I like the life I have now. It's good for the children and you. It's so cool and free."
Qin Xingfu shook her hair vigorously, like a puppy, and got her hair and face all wet.
"Naughty! Anyway, I hope you're happy."
Xuhe kissed her forehead, and Qin Xingfu jumped directly onto him and hung on him.
"Of course I am happy! Being angry is bad for your health, and sulking can easily lead to breast hyperplasia. I want to stay healthy and accompany you until old age."
Xuhe held her up, found a stool to sit on, let her sit on his lap, and spoke to her face to face.
"Okay, we'll be together forever."
His tone and expression were extremely serious. Qin Xingfu liked him like this. In recent years, he has become more and more like a mature man. She kissed him on the lips.
Xuhe held her head tightly and deepened the kiss. In fact, she has always been strong, optimistic, and strong inside. No matter what she encounters, she will adjust in time. She is the stabilizer in the hearts of many people.
"You're not paying attention! What are you thinking about?"
Qin Xingfu felt that he was in a daze, Xuhe said.
"Thinking of you, you always seem to be so strong, optimistic and positive."
"Hehe... Because I don't want to live in pain every day. No matter happy or sad, time passes day by day. My enemies want me to be sad, upset, desperate, and even degenerate. But I won't do that. I must live a better life! I want to piss them off to death."
Xuhe laughed softly and couldn't help pinching her face and said.
"Yes! That's the truth."
Qin Xingfu said while pulling his face.
"Smile more, or both children will become icy-faced like you."
Xuhe raised the corners of his mouth. Qin Xingfu thought he looked so cute, and said while holding his face.
"So cute!"
She wanted to eat him, so she thought so and did so. Xuhe hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to rub him into his bones and blood.
She was the first one he met, she was the light of his life, and he would not let anyone destroy her!
....................................
Jiang Lu left the next day because he still had to supervise the navy's training. When Qin Xingfu woke up, he was already gone. She got up, washed, walked out the door, stretched and said.
"It's so nice to sleep until I wake up naturally every day! And there's someone to serve me. Life is so beautiful~"
Yue Xin said while holding breakfast.
"You're getting up later and later. You must be starving! Come and have breakfast."
Qin Xingfu sat down and found the house a little deserted.
"Where are Yingbu and the children?"
"There is a market today. He, Mi Fu, and Queen Ying took the children out to the market."
"Oh~ I haven't been to the market at this time of year. I want to go check it out for dinner too."
"At this time, I think they are almost gone. Next time I will call you, it will be once every ten days."
"Okay! Have you eaten yet?"
"Eat it. I saved it for you."
Qin Xingfu concentrated on eating breakfast. Yue Xin watched her eat. After Qin Xingfu finished eating, she felt a little bloated. With nothing to do, Qin Xingfu wanted to dance.
"Yue Xin, let's dance!"
"Ah? But I can't."
Yue Xin wanted to refuse, but Qin Xingfu would not let him escape.
"I'll teach you. Put your hand on your waist and this hand on your shoulder. Then just follow my instructions. It's very simple."
Qin Xingfu patiently taught him how to dance the waltz. Today she was wearing a short-sleeved red dress, which made her waist look very thin. When she held Yue Xin's hand, he felt as if she was dancing on the tip of his heart.
He learned it quickly, and Qin Xingfu danced with him while humming the song.
Ying Bu saw them dancing when they came back.
"Mom, I want to dance too!"
Queen Qin also wants to dance.
"Okay! Come on, let's dance."
Qin Xingfu pulled them along, and they paired up in pairs. Both adults and children had a great time. Qin Mingqi was screaming on the side, wishing he could join in the fun.
Qin Xingfu picked her up and rocked her together. She danced with joy and slapped Qin Xingfu's nose with her little hand, which hurt.
"Hiss~ These little hands and feet are so strong."
"Does it hurt? Your nose is all red."
Queen Ying gently rubbed her.
"It's okay. I saw you bought a lot of eggs. I'm in a good mood today. I'll make some dessert for the children."
"Mom, is it cake?"
Qin Yue wanted to eat it, but they could only eat it on their birthdays every year.
"Not only that, mom will make egg tarts and donuts for you to eat. Just be good and watch over your sister, okay?"
"Good~"
White sugar is needed to make desserts. Qin Xingfu decolorized and dried the brown sugar while it was fermenting. Queen Qin followed her and watched.
"Baby! Are you so eager to learn? Don't worry, take your time. There's still a lot of time. Go out and play!"
Queen Qin said as she sat obediently on a small stool.
"They're so noisy, I like being with my mom."
It's fun and you can learn a lot.
"Well, baby, you're awesome! Come on, give mommy a kiss."
Qin Xingfu leaned her face forward, and Queen Qin kissed her with a blushing face, then lowered her head and counted her fingers.
Qin Xingfu continued to make desserts, while Ying Hou cooked on the side. It was so nice to have such peaceful days!
A sweet smell wafted from the kitchen. Several children playing in the yard couldn't resist and ran to the kitchen to wait.
"A bunch of greedy little cats~ Just wait for mom to make some steamed egg custard for my little sister."
Qin Xingfu took a bowl, cracked two eggs, added some boiled water, and put them in the steamer. Looking at the children waiting obediently, she thought they were so cute. Such cute children were born by her! Suddenly, her motherly love overflowed, and she hugged them and kissed them one by one.
In about ten minutes, Qin Xingfu and Ying Hou were both done.
"Be careful, it's hot! Go sit at the table and wait."
The children skipped back to the restaurant and sat in their seats waiting for their delicious food.
The two brought the food and desserts, and Qin Xingfu gave each of them an egg tart, a small cake and a donut.
"Okay, eat now!"
Ying Bu had already picked up the egg custard to feed Qin Mingqi. The little girl watched her brothers and sisters eat, but unlike her, she kept her mouth closed and refused to eat.
"Qiqi, be good. Wait until you grow up before eating this. This is also very delicious."
Qin Xingfu tore off a small piece of bread crust and gave it to her.
"Okay, eat this!"
Qin Mingqi tasted it and thought it wasn't tasty. His little face wrinkled up, and he spit out the food with his little tongue. Then he turned around and started eating the egg custard in big mouthfuls.
"Little girl, really."
Ying Bu felt that Mingqi was too smart for being the youngest. Neither the Queen nor Jiaojiao were as shrewd as her.
"My Lord, please eat quickly! I will feed Jiaojiao."
Queen Ying saw that she had not moved and was taking care of the child.
"It's okay. I ate a lot when I was cooking just now. I'm not very hungry now."
When she wasn't using much physical or mental energy, she ate much less.
Qin Wuji ate an egg tart, a donut, and half a bowl of rice and then shook his head.
"full!"
Qin Xingfu looked at the leftover food, added some rice and started eating. She has always been frugal and never wastes food.
"Mom, I can't finish it either."
The Queen of Qin was also full, and Ying Bu poured her leftovers into his own bowl.
"Don't give them these things before meals next time. They won't eat properly anymore."
Qin Yue and Qin Ni were the most left. Looking at their father, they all shook their heads.
"really."
The twin brothers looked at the leftover food in front of them with sad faces, as their father was not around.
"My dears, if you eat something else before dinner next time, tell your dads in advance, or you can get your own food and eat as much as you get, okay? Let's not waste food."
Qin Xingfu helped them deal with the leftovers. The little ones nodded, put down their bowls and chopsticks, and went out to play.
Qin Xingfu also gave them a donut.
"Yes, there are adults and children."
Yue Xin smiled helplessly, she really treated them like children. Ying Bu happily took it.
“I thought only children could eat it.”
"Everything is available."
Anyway, there was a lot to cook, and several people were eating, so Qin Yue ran in and said.
"Mom, a brother wants to see you."
Qin Xingfu stood up and walked out, followed by Yue Xin and the others. They saw a young man carrying a big bag and leading a horse standing at the door looking at her.
"Aunt Huiyuan! I am Qingque."
Qingque was worried that she wouldn't recognize him, so he called her first.
"Why are you here, kid? Come on, have you eaten yet?"
Qin Xingfu pulled him into the house, Yue Xin helped him lead the horse and tied it to the cowshed, Ying Hou brought the bowls and chopsticks, and Ying Bu added a stool.
"Young Master."
"You're welcome, uncles!"
Qingque sat down generously. Qin Xingfu looked at the child who was now taller than her and could no longer be connected with the little kid back then.
"I haven't seen you for a few years. Qingque has grown up now. You have been outside the whole time. Have you not returned? Have you informed your parents that you are safe?"
Qin Xingfu said as he added more food to his plate, and Queen Ying brought two fresh dishes and placed them in front of him.
"Young Master, please!"
"Thank you, uncle!"
Qingque clasped his fists and bowed, then chatted with Qin Xingfu.
"I came from Jiaodong. I told my parents everything before I came. Aunt, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I've gained a lot of weight recently. Eat quickly, and we can talk after you're done."
Qingque was on his way and was hungry. He had been traveling and studying in many places, so he was not able to get timely news and knew very little about her affairs. He did not expect that in less than two years, his aunt had experienced so many things.
Seeing that she was in good condition, he felt relieved. After finishing the meal, he was about to help clean up, but Ying Bu stopped him.
"Young Master, please talk to the adults! We will take care of these."
"Yeah, that's it. Come, meet your brothers and sisters first."
Qin Xingfu waved to the children, and when they came over, she introduced them to Qingque.
"This is the oldest Qin Yue, the second oldest Qin Ni, the third oldest Qin Wang, the fourth oldest Qin Shan, the fifth oldest Qin Chuan, the sixth oldest Qin Wu Ji, the seventh oldest Qin Ming Qi, and this is Brother Qing Que, who is also the brother of De Ning who played with you guys before."
"Hello, brother!"
"Wow, brother, you are awesome! You are taller than mom. Almost as tall as dad."
Qin Shan looked at his brother, who was completely different from De Ning.
Qingque squatted down and talked to them.
"That's because my brother has grown up. He is now an adult. You will grow up too. This is my gift to you. I hope you like it."
Qingque took out the wolf teeth from his pocket and gave them to them, one for each person, even the adults like Qin Xingfu got one.
"Did you hit yourself? Tell me where you went. You were so young, but you went out by yourself. Your mother must be worried about you every day."
After asking everyone to sit down, Qin Xingfu started talking to him, but he just smiled.
"My father and mother clearly sent people to follow me secretly, but they really thought I didn't know. Don't worry, aunt. I got these wolf fangs by killing wolves with the caravan. I heard that wearing wolf fangs can protect safety in the Xiongnu."
"I'm determined!"
Qin Xingfu looked at the wolf's teeth, which were so big and white that she couldn't imagine how big the wolf was. She didn't dare to fight those raptors and beasts, for fear of death!
"Brother, you are awesome!"
Qin Ni and the others had always been told that wild beasts were very dangerous, and he admired his brother a little.
"You will definitely be better than me in the future."
Patting his head, Qingque told him about his experiences along the way. He left Xianyang and first went to Longxi County, then walked along the northern border. He described the people and things he met along the way one by one, and the whole family listened very carefully.
Ying Bu washed the dishes, Ying Hou made tea and served the fruits, Yue Xin put out the desserts and fried peanuts.
Qin Xingfu was listening as she was talking. She had never really seen what the grassland was like in ancient times, so she was a little excited. When she saw the fruit, she wanted to eat durian.
I really want to go everywhere and eat everything. I will discuss with Jiang Lu tomorrow and go out to sea to find something delicious? I can relax at the same time. Qin Xingfu thinks this is a good idea!
She started tinkering with the weather meter that very evening. She started tinkering with the weather meter that very evening. Seeing that she finally started tinkering with it, Yue Xin and the others felt relieved and believed that she really didn't care about those things.
The children were all curious and kept pestering Qingque to tell them stories, which also gave Qin Xingfu time to do something.
Qin Xingfu concentrated on making the weather measuring instrument, going to bed late and getting up early every day, and spent a month building an astronomical workstation.
Seeing that there had been no major storms in the past half month, Qin Xingfu went to find Jiang Lu.
Jianglu thought she had changed her mind and decided to help her, but it turned out not to be the case.
"What? You want to borrow three thousand men just for a bite to eat?"
Jianglu was so angry that she jumped up and down. She thought she had figured it out, but ended up wanting to find something to eat.
"Not really! We can also acquire some land along the way, this piece is fine, but we don't have enough manpower right now, let's go find out the route first. If three thousand is too little for you, then lend me ten thousand?"
"Is this a matter of too many people? You can't mobilize troops without permission. You're just wishful thinking."
"Then just give them a holiday as a benefit. What soldiers do during their holidays is none of your business, right?"
Qin Xingfu just eats durian anyway.
"Maybe there's rice that can be harvested three times a year."
This reason made Jiang Lu silent, "Wait for me to think about it."
If he was unsure about something, he still wanted to consult his father, otherwise he would not be able to bear the consequences.
"Okay, one round trip, ten days at most."
In fact, the day was up, and she just wanted to eat her fill before coming back.
As soon as she left, Jianglu sent a telegram to the First Emperor, who agreed and gave her 10,000 men. Jianglu also wanted to go with them, but she had to go alone, and her husband and children had to stay behind.
Qin Xingfu rolled her eyes when she found out. She knew that the First Emperor was afraid that she would run away. If she really wanted to run away, who could stop her? But she was worried that she would not be able to survive. If she went to some primitive tribes with a poor sense of direction, it would be strange if she was not eaten by the savages.
