Chapter 163 Birthday
Chapter 163 Birthday
"My dears! Happy birthday! You are now eight years old! I hope you will be safe, healthy and live a long life!"
Qin Xingfu first gave them the gift, which was two jade nine-rings.
Qin Shan and Qin Chuan were extremely happy. They took it in their hands and tried it. They felt that this jade seemed to be very different from other jades. They were extremely happy.
"thanks Mom!"
Next was Yue Xin, who had some skills that they liked very much.
“Happy birthday, Shanshanchuanchuan!”
"Thank you, Daddy Xin!"
Next came Ying Bu, Mi Fu, Dan Yao, Ying Hou and Gongshu Yuan. Each of them was given a carefully prepared gift, including writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, some exquisite trinkets, and clothes.
Several children also made preparations. Qin Yue and Qin Ni presented gifts together, which were paintings they had drawn themselves.
"Happy birthday, brother Shanshanchuanchuan! This is the picture we drew of you."
Queen Qin took out her gloves.
"Brother, I made this myself. It's cold in winter, be careful not to get frostbitten."
"Thank you sister!"
There are too many things, they can’t take them all, Qin Wuji said, holding a flower pot.
"Brother, this flower is so beautiful. I'll plant it inside and it will bloom next year."
Qin Shan took the flowerpot and said.
"Thank you Jiaojiao."
Seeing that others gave them gifts but she had not prepared anything, Qin Mingqi was so anxious that she stamped her feet and threw her food in front of her brother.
"Brother, Qiqi will give you some delicious food."
Qin Shan and Qin Chuan were both amused by her little appearance.
"Thank you Qiqi!"
The children are already sensible and don’t remember their own birthdays much, but when they see the gifts carefully prepared by their family members, they don’t seem to mind that their father is not around.
Xuhe was missing his children in Tian, but the children had forgotten about him.
Jiang Lu has been with them for so long, and knowing that today is the child's birthday, he put down what he was doing and went to have a drink with him.
"Are you missing your kids today? Come, have a drink!"
"I'm not drinking, it's just that it's the first time I'm so far away from home, and I feel a little worried."
Jiang Lu saw that he didn't drink, so he started drinking by himself.
"Yes! I didn't miss the person that was by my side every day before, but now that he is far away, I feel so worried every time I think of him."
Xuhe poured a cup of tea and replaced his wine glass.
"It's been really snowy these past few days. When it stops, we can try to catch people and get back as soon as possible!"
Jiang Lu sighed helplessly.
"You may be able to go back, but I am a little worried. His Majesty sent Hu Hai and Zi Gao to the Western Frontier, and Zi Ying and Xian Lu to advance to the south. If the troops were not insufficient, he would really send all the other brothers who were just eating idle meals to fulfill his father's ambition of unifying the country."
The Qin Empire now extends to all corners of the world. Sometimes he feels a little frightened. If something changes in the country, they will not be able to go back.
"Your Majesty, this must have a certain meaning. This piece of land is not bad. If we cultivate it, we can feed a lot of people. If there is any grudge in the future, this is also a good place to go."
Qin Xingfu often said that with more children, the space at home would become smaller. Instead of letting the children fight over a piece of land, it would be better to give them a place to develop on their own.
Jianglu paused while drinking tea. In fact, he seemed to understand what Fusu meant. It was just that he couldn't leave his hometown. Nan Nian felt a little sad because that was where he grew up!
"Well, your majesty's approach is quite good."
Looking back at the previous dynasties, every family fought for status. No one was like him, giving money, soldiers, and food, letting them go out to fight for territory, and then worrying about you being hungry or cold outside.
"Your Majesty has mercy!"
Xuhe drank tea quietly.
"I still want to see the emperor with my own eyes. I always feel like I'm still a child who hasn't grown up."
The children are all discussing marriages, and Jianglu really doesn't want to admit that he is old, because as long as his father is still alive, he is a prince, not a king.
Xuhe couldn't give any answer to this question, so he just drank his tea quietly, secretly thanking his luck that their family was not in an imperial family, otherwise he would feel heartbroken at the thought of the children fighting to the death.
Jianglu put down the tea and picked up the wine bottle and started drinking. If there weren't so many people expecting him to do so, he would really like to stay in Xianyang and become a rich and powerful prince.
“Actually, I really envy you.”
When Xuhe thought of Qin Xingfu, his brows softened a little.
"Grown-ups often say that humans are never satisfied. As long as you look at what you have, compared to others, it's pretty good. So she has always been content."
Xuhe felt that he owed her, so after returning this time, he must accompany him well. Although it would be good to achieve success, he wanted to be with her more.
"That's right. Huiyuan is obviously very capable, and any little thing she does can have a far-reaching impact, but she doesn't seem to care at all, as if those big things are as easy for her as breathing."
Xuhe just smiled. He had asked her these questions before, and her answer was that many ideas and food were not hers, and that being able to benefit the people was meaningful. As for fame, she never cared about it.
"General, it's getting late, you should go to bed early!"
If he drank any more, he was afraid he would get drunk and crazy, but he appreciated his kindness, and being disturbed by him made him miss his children less.
"It's boring. I'm almost rusty here every day. Look, you have chess pieces here. Let's play chess!"
Jianglu really didn't want to sleep. This place was really strange. The snow had lasted for so long. If they hadn't prepared enough food and grown vegetables in greenhouses, they would have starved to death. I wonder if that group of people would have starved to death? If they got angry, they would have come out on their own, right?
Seeing that he refused to leave, Xuhe had no choice but to take out the chessboard and play chess with him.
Deep in the mountains, Liu Bang and his companions were indeed running out of ammunition and food. As the snow continued to fall, a feeling of anxiety was spreading throughout the team.
"My Lord, is the method you mentioned feasible? It's been several days, why is there still no movement?"
When Liu Bang was asked this by his subordinates, his face turned unhappy.
"Lu Zhi, do I really need you to interfere in my work? I've been talking about it for ten days, but only three or four days have passed. Why are you so anxious?"
"Humph! It would be best if it works in ten days. Otherwise, our food will only last half a month at most, and we will have nothing to eat but the children and women in the end."
The children and women nearby were trembling. They wanted to stay alive and were afraid of being eaten by those people. Those people were simply demons. They abducted them and made them do all kinds of hard labor every day and not have enough to eat every day.
In the beginning, there were still people who resisted, and they resisted many times, but those people were all killed. Now they are numb, with dull eyes, and they just do whatever they are told to do.
