A carriage went up the hill along the winding path, and stopped at the top of the slope, and the driver of the carriage was a young man of fifteen, and when the carriage had stopped, he jumped down from the carriage, and did not bow to the inside of the carriage like an ordinary coachman, but went straight to the side and looked into the distance along the official road under the hillside.
After a while, two maid-looking girls got out of the carriage, set up the stools, and said to the car: "Miss." ā
The curtain of the sedan car was lifted again, and a maid helped a girl wearing a veil to step onto the stool and get out of the carriage.
Although the girl wears a veil on her head, she has a good figure, and her gestures have an indescribable girlish style, and this girl's style has a calm and dignified style that cannot be ignored.
The girl got out of the carriage, came to the young man who was looking at the hillside, followed his gaze into the distance, and asked, "But today?"
The young man nodded when he heard this: "It is reported that the prince defeated the Huns and led an army of 100,000 to triumph, and he will enter Beijing along this road from time to time today." ā
When the girl heard this, she hummed and said she knew, and the two of them stood on the hillside and waited quietly, while the three maids behind them were also looking at each other.
However, they waited from noon to noon, never to Shen or to the army, and seeing that it was getting westward, the girl slowly withdrew her gaze and walked towards the carriage: "Go back, if you don't go any further, the city gate will be closed." ā
Hearing this, the three maids hurriedly stepped forward and followed her to the carriage, and one of the maids turned around and glared at the young man with a resentful look, and then turned his eyes and followed everyone into the carriage.
The young man frowned slightly, and watched coldly as the maid got into the carriage, and then raised his feet and walked towards the carriage, but at this time, a crisp birdsong sounded, and he immediately raised his head, and his feet rose from the ground, and when he landed, there was a well-behaved gray bird in his hand.
After he took off the bird's recommended bamboo pipe, he spread out his palm and let the bird leave.
Inside the bamboo pipe was a letter, obviously the content of the letter was not a confidential matter, but after the young man read the letter, his originally cold face suddenly became even colder, and his eyebrows were almost wrinkled into Sichuan characters.
The letter in his hand crumpled tightly with his grip, and the young man's face turned blue, and he whispered coldly: "The older you get, the more confused you become!"
After speaking, he threw the ball in his hand to the ground at will, jumped straight into the carriage and took the reins, pursed his lips and said to the car: "Your Majesty has an order, ordering the prince to place an army of 100,000 troops 200 miles away from the capital, and lead his cronies into Beijing early tomorrow morning." ā
After speaking, he didn't wait for a response from the car, flicked the reins, and drove the carriage down the hillside.
The girl in the car took the veil, her eyes drooped slightly, and the maid on the side saw her like this, thinking that it was because she had not waited to meet today, and couldn't help but persuade: "Didn't Miss already send a message to inform the prince that he would return to Beijing today? ā
The girl still lowered her eyes when she heard this, she slowly shook her head and whispered: "I'm not for this, I'm for him." ā
Hearing this, the other maid seemed to have some understanding, and immediately opened her mouth to comfort: "It is common for large armies to be stationed outside the city in triumph, after all, it is a 100,000-strong army, and it is difficult to settle after entering Beijing. ā
The girl sighed, "I hope it's because of this." ā
There was a lively scene in the capital, and the things that people talked about were how heroic the prince of Zhenjiang fought with the Xiongnu in three years, and how he defeated and retreated the Xiongnu who were born by force, not only spit out the invaded cities, but also offered three cities with both hands to sue for peace.
You must know that this is the biggest victory against the Xiongnu since the founding of the Qi State, and people are celebrating and talking, saying that the prince of Zhenjiang is better than the blue, and he is the general sent by God to the Qi State.
However, in front of a mansion somewhere in the capital, a group of people were not talking about the prince of Zhenjiang.
Mrs. Wu stood in front of the mansion and looked out, nine years had dyed her temples with a few strands of gray hair, and her face also had a few traces of vicissitudes, Lu Heng was supporting her on the side, seeing her looking forward to it, she opened her mouth to comfort: "Mother rest assured, Sister Zhi'er said that she will come back today when she comes back today, she has always been a good person." ā
When Mrs. Wu heard this, she smiled on her face: "Yes, Zhi'er was a constant speaker when she was a child, and I don't know what she has become over the years." ā
"It must be the more and more people who are out and about. Lu Zhe smiled on the side and answered: "Mother rest assured, when I was a child, Sister Zhi'er was as beautiful as a porcelain doll, and now it must be even more than ever." ā
Mrs. Wu smiled when she heard this, and when she mentioned Lu Zhi, there was unconcealable love on her face, although Chen and Ma on the side did not speak, they did not say sarcasm, which shows that Mrs. Wu's current status can no longer be compared with nine years ago.
As he spoke, a carriage slowly approached the boy who looked like he was fifteen or sixteen years old on the top of the hillside.
The young man's face was grim, and his body was imposing, even if Lu Heng and the others didn't recognize him, they couldn't help but look at him, and then saw that he was driving towards them, and couldn't help but hold his breath.
The young man drove the carriage to the door of the Lu Mansion and stopped, and then jumped out of the carriage and stood aside with a cold face, Xu was intimidated by the momentum around him, although he had thought that it was Lu Zhi in the carriage, although he was so excited that his fingertips trembled, but Mrs. Wu and the others still did not step forward.
The curtain of the carriage was slowly lifted, and the two good-looking maids got out of the carriage, smiled at everyone and blessed themselves, and then put the stool in place, and called inside: "Miss." ā
The curtain of the carriage was lifted again, and a girl stepped on the stool and got off the carriage with the support of the maid.
Lu Zhi looked back, saw Mrs. Wu whose temples had turned white, her eyes were red in an instant, she took two quick steps and hurriedly stepped forward, took Mrs. Wu's hand, looked at her tears, and called in a dumb voice: "Mother." ā
Hearing this, Mrs. Wu suddenly burst into tears, and while she looked at Lu Zhi carefully, her lips trembled and murmured: "My Zhi'er, it's good to come back, it's good to come back......"
"It's the daughter who is not filial. Hearing this murmur, Lu Zhi's tears couldn't help but fall, nine years, at the age of five left home and returned to Beijing at the age of fourteen, in these nine years she has changed from a young child to a fair lady, and Mrs. Wu has changed from a woman in her prime to a slightly old appearance now.
"Sister Zhi'er is happy to come back, my mother must be tired after waiting for a day, so it is better to go into the house. ā
Hearing this, Lu Zhi turned her eyes to the side, easily opened Mrs. Wu's hand, and bowed: "Thank you for all these years, thank you to the eldest brother and the second brother." ā
