Chapter 1120: In its prime
Zhou Changying smiled and nodded, and said, "All the officials and generals in Fuzhou are confidants who have followed me to death in the past. Ah Meng is the female general with the highest martial arts under me, and she is both civil and military, and she is now the supreme administrator of Fuzhou. General Li is Ah Meng's adopted son, who was picked up by Ah Meng on the march more than twenty years ago. At that time, it was the cold winter wax moon, and a newborn baby boy was wrapped in a thin homespun blouse, lying in the snow covered in blood, his little face was frozen purple, and there was only one breath left, and he couldn't even cry. We all thought he wouldn't survive, but Amon insisted on taking him with him. didn't expect him to slowly come to life in Ah Meng's arms. After that, he became Ameng's child. Ah Meng's surname is Li, so he named the child Li Xuesheng. followed Ah Meng to learn martial arts, and Wen Taowu is proficient in everything, and now he is the general of Fuzhou who defends the city. ”
Lin Wan listened carefully, and was very curious about this legendary "Ah Meng". raised his eyes, looked at Zhou Changying with adoring eyes, and sighed: "Master, you are surrounded by women who are like you, women who don't let their eyebrows go, and can stand alone!"
Zhou Changying smiled and nodded, and said, "Ah Meng can indeed be worthy of this ancient strange woman! Even I am proud of her." After a pause, his face darkened again, and he sighed: "I don't know if I delayed them, A-Yao, Jinhua, A-Meng, and the sisters who followed me on the battlefield at the beginning, although they are all talented and beautiful, they are all lonely for life......
Lin Wan couldn't help but sigh lightly, and said: "Master, love is only a part of life, if not, it is certainly a kind of regret, but, like these strange women you said, how many people in this world are enough to match them?
Zhou Changying smiled faintly, glanced at Lin Wan deeply, nodded, and said, "Okay, it's not too early, you should go back early." Before I enter the palace next time, I will ask Lao Bai to pick you up, and you can enter the palace with me at that time. ”
Lin Wan was immediately overjoyed and said, "Thank you, master! After listening to the master's words today, the apprentice has benefited a lot, and he must think about it when he goes back." The apprentice will send you back to your room to rest before leaving. After speaking, he had already gotten up and walked to Zhou Changying's side, gently holding her arm, and Ning Wuwu hugged Zhou Changying left and right and walked towards the dormitory.
Zhou Changying looked at the pair of filial children beside him, and was very happy in his heart, with a loving smile on his face. Suddenly thought of something, and said: "By the way, the marriage between Wuwu and your brother has been postponed." Originally, it was planned to be on March 12, but Si Tianjian said that there was a change in the astrological aspects, and there were no good days this year, and he hoped that I would advance their marriage to the first month. However, I was reluctant to marry so soon, so I postponed their marriage until next year. Your brother shouldn't blame me, right?"
Lin Wan shook his head with a smile and said, "How can it be?" My brother is in the barracks most of the time now, and even if he gets married, he doesn't have much time to spend with Sister Wuwu. It's better to let Sister Worry-Free stay here temporarily, not only can I accompany you more, but also, when my brother is free, I can also come to see Sister Worry-Free without delay. ”
Ning Wuwu also hurriedly agreed: "I didn't want to get married so early, but now that it's been postponed, it's just what I want, and I want to accompany my aunt for a few more years!"
Zhou Changying nodded reassuringly and said, "It's good that you don't blame me for being an old woman!"
Lin Wan frowned, smiled mischievously, and said seriously: "Master, what you said is not right!"
Zhou Changying and Ning Wuwu were both stunned, looking at Lin Wan in confusion, waiting for her to say what was "wrong"?
Lin Wan grinned and said, "Master, you are in the prime of life, how can you say that you are an old woman?"
Zhou Changying suddenly realized, shook his head with a chuckle, and said: "You kid, the master is already in his forties, how can you say that you are in your prime......?
Lin Wan shook his head firmly, and asked seriously, "Master, do you think Feng Zhanggong, Aunt Fan, and Aunt Meng, are they all old?"
Zhou Changying frowned and thought about it, shook his head, and said, "As a woman, after the age of forty, she is no longer young. However, Ah Yao, Jin Hua, and Ah Meng, their charm does not lie in their youth and beauty, so they cannot be measured by this. ”
Lin Wan nodded heavily, and said with a smile: "Master, that's exactly the case! You are the same, for you and Feng Zhanggong, Aunt Fan, and Aunt Meng, all worldly measures are useless, and you will never get old." In our hearts, you are evergreen, a model of freedom and independence, and a model for the women of the world. ”
Zhou Changying smiled slightly, nodded, and said lightly: "Wan'er said it so well!"
Lin Wan and Ning Wuwu sent Zhou Changying into the dormitory, and Feng Zhanggong had already prepared everything and was waiting in the dormitory.
After saying goodbye to Zhou Changying, Ning Wuwu sent Lin Wan to the door of the eldest princess's mansion, quietly attached it to her ear, and said in a low voice: "Wan'er, Rui Chen said that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince returned to Beijing from the county seat of Northern Xinjiang before, and when he entered the city, he handed him something, which is very important. However, His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince has not gone to Ruichen to retrieve it so far. Ruichen said that it was inconvenient to always carry it with him, so he handed it over to me for safekeeping, you say, how should I deal with it?"
Lin Wan was stunned, and immediately thought that that thing must be the talisman of the imperial army, frowned and pondered for a moment, and said, "Sister Wuwu, you put things away." When we need it, we will naturally come and pick it up. This thing is the safest thing to be with you now. ”
Ning Wuwu nodded and said solemnly: "Okay, I'll take it away, don't worry." ”
Lin Wanwan smiled, waved goodbye to Ning Wuwu, and under Ning Wuwu's gentle gaze, got into the carriage and left slowly.
When I returned to Lin Xiang's house, it was almost dawn, I took a bath, changed my clothes, returned to my room, closed the door, and walked to the bedside. But I found that there was a person on the bed, a tall and long-legged man, covered with his quilt, curled up on the inside of the bed.
On the chair next to the bed, Zhou Tianqi's court clothes were neatly placed, as well as black clothes, black robes, and phoenix tail masks.
Lin Wan was overjoyed, took off her shoes lightly, sat down on the edge of the bed, and stretched her neck to look at Zhou Tianqi's face.
I saw that his eyes were closed, his face was peaceful, there was a faint smile on his face, but his brows were slightly frowned, as if something had made him unhappy.
