Zhou Helan started at Weimo. Although he was later honored as a national teacher, he was criticized because of his bloodline, all because his biological mother was from Xifeng.
In today's situation, the three kingdoms of Daye, Yuze, and Xiji are standing on the same page, but more than a hundred years ago, these three kingdoms actually came from the same lineage, and they were all split from the declining Wei kingdom.
After the collapse of the Wei state, the eight generals of the state of Wei supported their troops to stand on their own, and they fought for a long time. Later, Xiao Yanhong, the head of the state generals of the state of Wei, was embraced as king by the other five states of the state, and the capital was Yejing. The emperor was the Emperor Taizu of Da Ye.
The other two generals of Zhuguo, Xue Chang and Huai Shu'an, refused to honor Taizu as emperor, so they sentenced Da Ye and made him king. Xue Chang united with the nomadic Xiji people, and established the Xiji government in Zaiguo; Huaishu'an became the king at Fuliang and established Yuze.
After more than a hundred years, the state of Wei did not exist, and the three states of Da Ye, Yuze, and Xiji were separated.
And Zhou Helan's mother is from Xifeng. Xue Chang was crowned queen in Zaiguo, broke the covenant with the Xiji people, and began to suppress the Xiji people. Although the name of the country is still called Xiji, in fact, the Xiji people have an extremely low status and are regarded as low-level pariahs and can be regarded as livestock. buy and sell.
And a child like Zhou Helan who was born by Xi Ding and whose father is unknown is the bottom of the pariah, and everyone can bully.
In the last life, An Changqing only knew that he had been criticized for a long time because of his birth, and it was Yuze Wang who re-used him despite all the opinions. And he really reciprocated his gratitude. In the name of the military adviser, King Yuze made plans. At the right time, he sent his division to the north, planned to kill the two big pillar kingdoms, pacified the rebellion of the refugees, won Yejing, and helped King Yuze become emperor. .
But he didn't know that Zhou Helan would be in Yejing at this time. And it happened so coincidentally that he allowed himself to save people. He remembered that Zhou Helan specially went to the mass grave to worship in the previous life, saying that Xiao Zhige had been kind to him, and what he wanted to talk about was what happened today.
In the last life, Xiao Zhige should have scared away the farmer like today, and left him with life-saving water and wound medicine. It's just that with the addition of his variable in this life, he unexpectedly rescued people.
An Changqing looked at him brightly, thinking that this might be an opportunity to change everything.
All the things in the last life are enough to show that Zhou Helan is a man who knows his favor and repays him, and he has the ability to go through the sky and latitude. Later, Yuze was able to annex Daye, half of it was due to the civil strife in Daye, and the remaining half was because of Zhou Helan.
Such a person must not be allowed to go to Yuze again and become Xiao Zhige's enemy.
An Changqing's thoughts turned quickly, and he soon had an idea. He helped the person up and asked, "Aren't you from Yejing? What happened to the official road before?"
When Zhou Helan heard him reveal his identity, his face turned pale, and he pursed his lips and said, "I... My mother and I came to Yejing to look for my father, but my mother was sick on the way, and I didn't have the money to buy medicine, so I went to steal and stole from others. Food…”
It seemed that he was ashamed to open his mouth, Zhou Helan's face was already flushed when he mentioned stealing, as if afraid of An Changqing's misunderstanding, he hurriedly explained: "But I will definitely pay it back, and when my mother is sick, I will go to the restaurant to help , I'll pay it back..."
He said that his voice was getting lower and lower, and his head was hanging like a wilted sapling. If it weren't for his distinctive features and the right name, An Changqing could hardly believe that the child who looked younger than himself would be the decisive Yuze national teacher in the future.
The original intention to win over has faded a little, but a bit of sincere pity has emerged.
An Changqing said: "You're like this... I'm afraid it's not easy to find work, right?"
Zhou Helan looked up at him and said firmly: "I will continue to look for it, I can do anything, and I can endure hardships..."
An Changqing sighed and said with a smile, "Why don't you follow me?"
"I'm going to open a few shops, but I'm short of staff. The wages are the same as everyone else's. How about living and living in the house?"
"The Star Wants To Retire"
Zhou Helan suddenly raised his head to look at him. After a long silence, he gritted his teeth and said, "Young master is willing to take me in. I am grateful. It's just... It's just me, I'm actually from Xifeng."
What Xiji people represent, not only Xiji, but also the people of Daye who are adjacent to Xiji.
So he came all the way to Yejing with his mother, and he was blindsided by the pain. Even if his mother was seriously ill, he wanted to find a job to earn money for medicine, but no one was willing to ask him. It seems that the more contact with the people of Xiji, they will be stained with a lowly aura.
However, An Changqing did not show the expression of disgust he imagined. He said, "Xidi is Xizhi, this is Da Ye, which is different from Xizhi."
Zhou Helan looked at him with wide eyes, his lips wriggled a few times, and suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to him: "I would like to follow your son, and I will let him send you from now on."
An Changqing was startled by him, and quickly helped him up, saying: "You should recuperate first, and it will not be too late to work for me when your injury is healed."
After he finished speaking, he remembered that his mother was ill, and he asked, "Where is your mother? Have you seen the doctor?"
Zhou Helan's originally excited expression subsided: "I have seen the doctor, but the doctor said that it can't be cured, so I can only hang myself with medicine."
No wonder... In the last life, An Changqing only heard of his terrible background, but rarely heard of his mother. At that time, his mother should be dead, right
"There is a Doctor Hu in the palace with excellent medical skills. If you want, you can take your mother over and let Doctor Hu take a look."
Zhou Helan's eyes lit up and immediately said, "Yes!"
An Changqing patted him on the shoulder: "Can you still go? If you can, then follow me back to the palace first."
Zhou Helan nodded again and again. He was worried about his mother's illness. For fear that An Changqing would not let him go, he quickly stood up and took two steps to prove: "This small injury is not a problem."
An Changqing laughed and left the doctor's house with him.
After returning to Zhuangzi, An Changqing brought Zhuangtou and asked him to pick a few clever girls of the right age from the nearby Zhuanghu family to teach him first. When the mother and sister arrive at Zhuangzi in the future, someone will be available.
After explaining the scattered things, it happened that Xiao Zhige also came. An Changqing smiled at him, pointed at Zhou Helan and said, "This is Zhou Helan, and he will follow me from now on."
Xiao Zhige frowned and glanced at Zhou Helan, but didn't say anything, just nodded and said, "Go home."
Because Zhou Helan was injured, An Changqing still let him ride a carriage with him. When he went back, he passed a village, and Zhou Helan said that his mother lived in the village. An Changqing and his party went around the village, but were taken by Zhou Helan to a deserted and dilapidated temple.
Half of the temple had collapsed, and only the remaining half was crumbling. It was covered with some thatch and twigs at the inner side, which at least covered a small place that could accommodate people. Zhou Helan's mother slept there, lying face inward, unable to see clearly.
Zhou Helan called out in Xiji, and the woman turned around slowly and responded with joy.
An Changqing looked from behind, and found that Zhou Helan's mother had deeper facial features than his, with deep eye sockets, a high nose bridge, and a well-defined face. The complexion is pale, typical of the Western Deng people.
Zhou Helan carefully removed the thatch and branches, and said a few words to the woman in a warm voice. Then, seeing the woman struggling to get up, she gave a big gift to An Changqing, and thanked him awkwardly in Da Ye dialect.
Seeing that she was really weak, An Changqing hurriedly asked Zhou Helan to help her into the carriage.
Zhou Helan smiled gratefully, and wanted to say thank you again, but was stopped by An Changqing, and said helplessly: "Enough is enough, don't be attached to these false gifts."
Zhou Helan then stopped and helped his mother onto the carriage. The temple was shabby, and the mother and son had no luggage to pack. Zhou Helan picked up a worn but clean bag at his feet and carried it on his back. He paid An Changqing in advance for the wages, and went to the village to collect the money from the family whose food he stole. It was paid off, and then the group returned to the road.
Because the carriage was given to Zhou Helan's mother and son, An Changqing had to ride with Xiao Zhige again.
The jujube red horse fluttered its tail happily, and walked on the horse's hooves. An Changqing thought that there would be countless strange eyes staring at him after entering the city, and Yu Su said, "Will your lord teach me to ride horses another day?"
Xiao Zhige lowered his eyes when he heard the words, An Changqing lowered his head with his back to him, just revealing a gleaming white neck, with a few strands of black hair scattered mischievously, very cute. If you learn to ride... you won't be able to see it in the future.
Xiao Zhige said, "I don't have time recently."
An Changqing didn't care too much, and said casually: "Then my name is Tie Hu or Zhao Shi, teach me."
Zhao Shi, who was walking behind, was so shocked that his hair stood up.
Immediately afterwards, their prince said with a blank expression, "I'll teach you."
An Changqing was at a loss: "Didn't your lord say you don't have time?"
Xiao Zhige was silent for a moment: "There is time."
"..." An Changqing looked back at him suspiciously.
Xiao Zhige looked at him and looked away without a trace.
Why learn to ride a horse, is it bad to ride with me
***
Back at the palace, An Changqing asked Wang Fugui to take Zhou Helan and his son to the guest house to settle down, and Hu Zifei was invited to help with the diagnosis and treatment.
At this point, the village in Qingyun Mountain has belonged to his name.
An Changqing was a little embarrassed when he gave the money, after all, the money came from the accounts of the palace. Although Xiao Zhige said that he could use it casually, it was private property after all, and he still felt like he had taken advantage of it.
Therefore, after waiting for the middleman to leave, he sat down next to Xiao Zhige and whispered, "These are the money I borrowed from the public school, and I will pay it back when I earn it."
"...No need to pay it back." Xiao Zhige's eyes darkened.
An Changqing didn't notice, and said with a smile: "My lord let me be like this, but I will be arrogant and extravagant and profligate."
"Well." Xiao Zhige glanced at him: "The money in the house is enough to squander."
An Changqing was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it, he laughed again, his eyes shining: "But I don't want to be arrogant and lewd and only know pleasure..."
"They don't dare." The corner of Xiao Zhige's infected mouth slightly curled up: "No one dares to arrange the princess of the Northern War."
