Chapter 767: Return
Jiang Chengzi opened his sleepy eyes and saw Li Ke at once. She suspected that she was dreaming, and quickly rubbed her eyes and looked at him in a daze. He was dressed in a military uniform, the edges of his armor were frayed, a few strands of hair were knotted, and his face was tanned. If you give a broken bowl, it is estimated that you can go to the city gate to ask for food.
"Ah Nian?" she shouted softly, her tone slightly confused. Because she has been dreaming for the past few days, she dreamed that he came back, but when it was dawn, she found that it was a dream. That kind of unwarranted disappointment spread all day long.
In almost a moment, she would miss him many times.
"I'm here. He replied softly, then sat down on a stool beside her bed. He just looked at her like that, with a soft warmth in his eyes and a slight curl of his lips.
Ah, his smiling look is really hard to take your eyes off. It is not an exaggeration to say that "saving time and appearance, captivating the country and the city".
So, Jiang Chengzi hugged the quilt, reclined on the bed, looked at him sideways, and didn't say a word.
"Ah Zi, what's wrong?" he leaned over slightly, his voice slightly hoarse.
Jiang Chengzi only felt that this voice made people tremble, and couldn't help but smile, and asked in a low voice, "Are you really back?"
Li Ke was stunned for a moment, and then understood that this guy was suspecting that he was dreaming, and couldn't help laughing, and said, "Yes, I just entered the city when it was dawn." ”
"You haven't returned home yet?" Jiang Chengzi sat up holding the quilt.
"Well, I miss you, can't wait to come. He didn't feel embarrassed at all, and just said it.
He experienced the awkwardness and non-expression of his previous life, and his thoughts were very different from before. If he misses her, he will tell her, and if he loves her, he will do it to make her happy.
Jiang Chengzi was flustered when he heard this, and couldn't help grinning.
He reached out and stroked her face, and said softly, "Silly." ”
She smiled again, pressed her face to his palm, felt the rough calluses sharpened by her palm, and whispered, "It's hard in the Northland, isn't it?"
"It's not hard. He stretched out his other hand and took her in his arms and whispered, "You have destroyed all the Turks, and I am just cleaning the battlefield, and I have little to no effort." ”
"Then how is the war in the Northland now?" Jiang Chengzi Jiang leaned his head in his arms and looked up at his beautiful chin.
"The Tang Dynasty has swept through the Turks, Li Shangshu is leading people to settle prisoners of war, and the imperial court will send people to take over the entire Turkic steppe. Li Ke replied.
"Did you wave your army north to kill Yi Nan?" Jiang Chengzi asked in a low voice.
Li Ke looked stunned, and then laughed happily because they had this tacit understanding with each other, and he whispered: "Those who know me, Ah Ziye." ”
"Did you kill it?" Jiang Chengzi asked.
"I have long asked the Turkic eyeliner to keep an eye on his movements, and I will definitely not let him escape. Li Ke said.
A stone in Jiang Chengzi's heart can be regarded as falling. As soon as this Yi man died, it would be impossible for the Huifu Rebellion to occur in two years. Now, his father is in politics and has set up a propaganda department, and in dealing with the Turks, he who is familiar with history will definitely not let the Tang Dynasty go astray. Then, it is impossible for Datang to have a major war in the next ten years. And Qin Qiong and Wang Xie have joined the army, and they will definitely implement the reform of the military system, and will not allow any more Anshi Rebellion.
"That's good. Jiang Chengzi breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's just a follow-up matter, just come back and intervene. However, we don't need to come forward for this kind of thing. Now, my father-in-law is going to enter politics, and he will definitely take care of it. Li Ke said, hugging Jiang Chengzi tighter again.
Jiang Chengzi has been worried about him for the past few days, and now he is back. She relaxed, and nestled in his arms and told the story of what had happened in the past few days.
When Li Ke heard this, he was also shocked into a cold sweat, he didn't expect the enemy to make such a move. It was also thanks to his daughter-in-law's shrewdness that allowed Datang to avoid a crisis.
"Thank you. He couldn't help but hug Jiang Chengzi tighter.
"Don't say anything like that. Jiang Chengzi leaned on his chest, his tone was glutinous and soft, with a coquettish meaning.
He laughed and didn't speak.
The two didn't speak for a while, just let this wonderful time pass by. After a while, Jiang Chengzi felt hungry, and then remembered that Li Ke rushed into the city early in the morning, and she didn't have breakfast, so she reluctantly let go of Li Ke.
The two had breakfast together, and Li Ke said that he had a bad smell all over his body, and he wanted to go back to the house to take a shower and change his clothes. Jiang Chengzi sent him to the gate, he turned around and smiled, and said, "You are not allowed to go out, wait for me to come to you." ”
"Good. Jiang Chengzi stood leaning against the door, smiling.
Li Ke looked at her for a while, turned over and went back. Along the way, regardless of the scorching sun, he only felt that his daughter-in-law was really unparalleled in the world.
After Li Ke left, Jiang Chengzi's heart was finally liberated from the anxiety of the previous few days, and the whole person was very relaxed. When she returned to Orchid Garden, she sat on the recliner in front of the window and hummed and ate fried melon seeds, her heart was full of excitement.
The entire Yang Mansion was busy cleaning, painting, and hanging red lanterns. The kitchen is even more busy, preparing for Yang Ruyu's wedding in a few days. There is also an endless stream of people who come to add boxes to Yang Ruyu. Fortunately, this kind of thing was dealt with by Yang Wang and Xiuhong, and these things had almost nothing to do with her, the young girl in the boudoir.
However, she also did this kind of thing as a younger sister. It is a tea mountain near Linqiongfu in Shuzhong. Previously, she got some spare money, and Yunzhu happened to marry Linqiong as the lady in charge, and took care of the industry over there for her, especially tea. She asked Yunzhu to buy some mountains and plant tea trees.
Yunzhu took the money of the nine girls, so she naturally refused to give her name, so she simply bought more than a dozen mountains according to the standards of the nine girls, and wrote the names of the nine girls. The day before yesterday, Yunzhu, who was pregnant, couldn't travel long distances, so she asked her husband to come to Chang'an and sent the title deed.
Jiang Chengzi was not polite, so he accepted it, but the income of the tea mountain, except for the one given to the imperial court, she only needed one percent of the rest, and the rest was operated by Yunzhu.
Yunzhu's husband was very grateful. Jiang Chengzi was worried that he didn't have anything to add to Yang Ruyu's box, and this title deed came in handy. Therefore, she smoked one of the tea mountains that was good at producing black tea, and entrusted Che Hu and Yunzhu's husband to go back to make a land deed change, and changed it to Yang Ruyu.
She doesn't go to see others adding boxes to Yang Ruyu now, just waiting for Che Hu to come back.
"Count the days, I should be back today. She muttered to herself, put the melon seeds in her hand into the tray, and heard the orchid outside the window saying that she was thirsty. She brought a kettle and watered the flowers.
Sure enough, after watering the flowers, Che Hu hurried over with sweat on his head, saying that the title deed had been completed.
Jiang Chengzi took the land deed stamped by Linqiong County, the capital of Gaiyi Prefecture, looked at the signature of the magistrate, was stunned, and asked, "Gao Shilian should be promoted, right?"
Che Hu nodded and said, "When I went to do this, I said that I had received the documents from the imperial court and would return to Chang'an in the near future." ”
"That's a transparent person. Jiang Chengzi said as he took the key to open the ebony cabinet on the side, and took out a piece of red paper from it and spread it out.
Che Hu took the handkerchief handed over by Abi and wiped his sweat before saying: "Gao Shilian can be regarded as benefiting the people in Yizhou and has done a lot of things. I look at the situation in Yizhou, which is getting better and better day by day. It's just that I don't know who will go to Yizhou next. ”
"These degrees are not something we worry about. Now, the Northland Turks have been eliminated and are considered stable. The south side is only the end of the crossbow. It doesn't matter who the court sends. Jiang Chengzi said as he put the title deed of Chashan into the red paper, and then turned out the title deed of ten acres of land in the western suburbs of Chang'an that had been changed before. She wrapped the two title deeds together in red paper.
"Yes, the little one remembers the teachings of the Nine Girls. Che Hu realized that he had just said it, and immediately became serious.
Jiang Chengzi smiled: "Don't be nervous. I just think you're too old, and it's time to consider marrying a daughter-in-law. ”
When Che Hu heard this, his face immediately turned red, and his expression was very embarrassed. Bi Tao on the side smiled "poof", and then looked at Dongmei. Dongmei is also very embarrassed, and the little maid who is usually not afraid of the sky and the earth suddenly looks at a loss.
Jiang Chengzi knew it in his heart, so he instructed Dongmei: "Dongmei, you can get some herbal tea and food for Che Hu." ”
"Yes. Dongmei immediately turned around and ran.
"Che Hu, you rest, think about whether there is a girl you like. If so, after I marry your son-in-law, I will send someone to propose marriage for you. Jiang Chengzi held the red envelope in the palm of his hand and said to Che Hu with a smile.
Che Hu nodded and said, "Then it will be troublesome for the ninth girl." ”
Jiang Chengzi admired Che Hu's reluctance very much, laughed twice, and took Ah Bi and Bi Tao to add boxes to Yang Ruyu.
Yang Ruyu's wedding dress has been completed, and it can't be red according to the standard, which is a bit of a pity. But the person she married was the future king, the dragon and phoenix among people. Therefore, this identity counteracts the unhappiness in her heart.
In the last days of marriage, more and more people added boxes. And Yang Wang's and Xiuhong didn't let her worry about the side anymore, only let her rest regularly every day, eat well, and nourish well.
Yang Ruyu was idle and a little bored. Jiang Chengzi went to visit, said some polite words, and handed the red envelope in his hand to Yang Ruyu, saying: "This is a little bit of heart for my sister, and it can be regarded as adding a box to my eldest sister." ”
Yang Ruyu pinched the small red envelope, and there was no soft jewelry. She was a little disappointed for a while, but when she thought about it, she was relieved that she could have today, thanks to this sister.
"My sister is too polite, you and my sister, why waste it. She said politely.
Jiang Chengzi smiled and said, "I only have a sister like you." ”
According to the etiquette, the things that add to the box must be thrown into the box. But Jiang Chengzi gave a red envelope, and Yang Ruyu could only open the red envelope according to the number of courtesies. She unfolded it lightly, and saw that it was two land deeds, and she was stunned for a moment.
"Sister, you, you are-" She was a little incoherent, and just looked at Jiang Chengzi.
"You don't lack gold or silver jewelry. In addition, these soft pieces of jewelry will always be used less and less. But this land can be produced. This is even a little bit of private money that my sister gave to my sister. Jiang Chengzi said with a grin.
"Chashan, this, this-" Yang Ruyu pursed her lips.
Jiang Chengzi smiled and said, "The name of this tea mountain can still be changed." If you think about it, you can send someone to the local government to apply. ”
"Hmm. Yang Ruyu suddenly felt that she was stupid, and she couldn't say anything grateful, but her heart was turbulent.
At this time, the little Fang Sheren in the palace came and said that the Xuanyang Clan's Azhi Penglai Hall had come to see him. When Jiang Chengzi heard this, he hurriedly asked Xiao Fangsheren: "I don't know if it's urgent, but what's the matter?"
Xiao Fangshe said with a smile: "Your Majesty is happy today, I went to Penglai Hall early and later, and Concubine Shu's mother and nephew are here." It just so happened that I heard that the King of Shu had returned, so His Majesty announced that the two of you would go to Penglai Hall for lunch. ”
"I see. Jiang Chengzi breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Fangshe wiped his sweat and drank the cup of tea that Bi Tao handed him in one gulp, before saying, "Nine girls, the soft sedan chair is waiting at the door." The slave went to the palace of the king of Shu, and the king of Xuan Shu went to the Penglai Palace. ”
"I'm tired. Jiang Chengzi calmly went out and took the soft sedan chair in the palace to Penglai Palace.
According to the usual practice, Jiang Chengzi got off the soft sedan chair outside the Penglai Palace. She fanned the wind vigorously with a fan, asked Qingyun, who was standing at the door of the hall, and asked, "Is the King of Shu coming?"
"The King of Shu has not yet arrived. Qingyun replied with a smile and beckoned her to hurry into the temple to escape the heat.
Jiang Chengzi shook his head with a smile, walked to the shade in front of the palace gate to take a dip, and said, "I'm nervous, I have to wait for the King of Shu." ”
Qingyun understood the embarrassment of a girl who had not passed the door to see her in-laws alone, so she nodded clearly and said, "That maid will accompany the ninth girl to wait here." ”
"There is Sister Lao Qingyun. Jiang Chengzi replied with a smile.
Just waited for a while, and Li Ke strode over. The Shu Palace, which was originally next to the palace, was much closer to the palace than the Yang Mansion. He changed into a white shirt, a light blue light gauze coat, a red and white Ruyi pattern, and a purple crown to tie his hair.
Jiang Chengzi only watched him walk briskly from the scorching sun, and then thought of the sentence vulgarly: "But I feel that my eyes are bright, and I can't ..... it."
Thinking of this, she laughed very unkindly. Li Ke was stunned by her laughter, and asked very nervously: "I, am I dressed inappropriately?" he said and looked at Qingyun who was standing aside, his face full of doubts. Qingyun was also confused, so he looked at Jiang Chengzi who was laughing.
"No, it's proper, it's like a jade tree in the wind. Jiang Chengzi nodded firmly.
"But your smile is so weird. Li Ke will be skeptical.
"I rejoice when I see you. Jiang Chengzi said seriously.
Li Ke didn't believe Jiang Chengzi's words, but there were not too many trees at the entrance of this Penglai Palace, and the scorching sun was in the sky, and it was very hot. He didn't know how long Ah Zi had been waiting, so he didn't care, just smiled and said, "Okay, I accept your reason." Go and go into the temple. ”
Qingyun led the two of them to the Penglai Palace, and before they entered the main hall in the corridor, Jiang Chengzi heard Li Su reciting angrily in the urn. Li Shimin praised this kid for being promising.
Concubine Yang Shufei also said very happily: "Your Majesty praises him, he is good at working hard, but he is afraid of being proud." ”
"You, teach the children well. Ke'er and Ah Yu are both excellent children, and if they do a good job, they naturally want to praise. Li Shimin said.
Qingyun was about to report that Jiang Chengzi suddenly heard a female voice and said, "Your Majesty, since I am talking about Ke'er and Ah Su, I want to say one thing." ”
"Mother-in-law, please speak. Although Li Shimin is a king, he is very respectful to Empress Xiao.
