Chapter 2860 Farmer
Yun Dai looked up at the light blue sky for a while, straightened her skirt, and walked towards the row of simple houses.
Outside the fence stood several seven or eight-year-old children, playing around a peach tree.
Seeing Yun Dai coming, they stopped hurriedly, stood obediently, and looked at her curiously with their bright eyes.
Yun Dai smiled at them and suddenly felt that the hem of her skirt was caught.
She looked down and saw a little girl of two or three years old, wearing a white washed red cotton shirt, a thin braid that reached the sky, and big and round eyes.
It is very similar to Qian'er's appearance when he was young.
The little girl raised her face, clutched her skirt with her little hands, and said indistinctly: "Mother... dear..."
An older child next to her hurriedly came over to pick her up. Yun Dai couldn't help but apologized: "I'm sorry, madam. It's my fault that I didn't take good care of my sister and bumped into madam."
"It's okay." Yun Dai reached out and touched the little girl's soft cheek, smiling, "This is your sister, how old is she?"
"Two and a half years old." The girl replied crisply.
"She just called me mother. Do I look like your mother?" Yun Dai asked with a smile.
The girl shook her head: "We don't have a mother."
"No?"
"Not long after my sister was born, my mother died of illness." The girl said softly.
Yun Dai felt pity and asked: "What about your father?"
"Dad died in the war in Beiqi before my sister was born."
Yun Dai was stunned.
It turned out to be a pair of orphans.
She looked at the other children, and they all looked clean and polite.
When the girl saw her looking at her, she explained, "We are all orphans without parents."
Yun Dai groaned and looked up at the house in front of her, "Do you all live here?"
"Yes, adults let us live here, read to us, and gave us work. So that we can support ourselves."
"grown ups?"
"Didn't Madam come with you?" the girl said with a smile, "In the past few years, we have only seen you, not your wife. It turns out that your wife is so beautiful."
Yun Dai realized that the adult she was talking about was King Qin Zhao Shu, and hurriedly waved her hands: "Don't talk nonsense, I am not his wife. We are relatives, and he is my husband's uncle."
The girl smiled and said, "I am too talkative, madam, don't blame me."
"Where are you adults?"
"It should be in the watermelon field." The girl put her sister down and held her little hand. "I'll take my wife there. It's right behind the house. It's easy to get there."
"Oh, then I'll go there by myself while you play with your sister here." Yun Dai touched her purse and found a packet of candied fruits that Qing Yi had stuffed into it. She took it out and stuffed it into the girl's hands, "For you to eat."
Although she is sensible, she is still just a seven or eight-year-old child. There is joy in the girl's eyes.
Yun Dai carefully warned: "If you are giving it to your sister, don't give it a whole piece of candied fruit, as it is easy to choke, so you must be careful."
"Yes, I remember it. Thank you, madam!"
"So good." Yun Dai walked away with a smile. After walking a few steps, she looked back and saw the children surrounding the girl, each of them sharing a piece of candied fruit. Their faces were full of sweetness and joy.
Yun Dai couldn't help but smile.
"Master, the prince is over there." Baoxing pointed forward.
Yun Dai looked up and saw a melon field.
Zhao Shu was squatting in the ground with his sleeves rolled up and a straw hat on.
Yun Dai was used to seeing his majestic and cold appearance in armor, and had also seen his splendor in purple robe and cloak, but this was the first time she saw him dressed as a farmer.
