Chapter Seventy-Three: Stripping the Bed and Skin (3)
The sun was turning to the west, the afterglow was gone, and the neatly cut light was no longer visible on the rammed walls of the loess. After listening to the various wine shops and restaurants for an afternoon, at this time, Mu Qing took Ah Liu to slowly paced to the Yu house, and when he passed by the city gate, he saw that the city gate was lined with soldiers and armor, and there was a team of soldiers waiting for the replacement under the city tower.
She laughed secretly in her heart, whether it was Li Chu or Li Shimin, there was no possibility of besieging Jincheng. As soon as the division came out of the nameless, the emperor only taught to garrison Honghua County to intercept Yang Xuangan's mutiny, but he never said that he wanted to move Jincheng County. Second, Li is timid, if he dares to act lightly, Jincheng County will not be surnamed Xue now.
This Xue Gong must be a false alarm this time. But the Xue family, sooner or later, will raise troops, and now they are all weak, so they have to take the strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack, and they will be at peace for the time being. But Qiu Wanmo formed an alliance with Li Jiancheng, and later counterattacked Erlang.
The sun has gathered all its brilliance, and has become a soft red sun, spreading the red and bright light evenly in the yellow-brown city, and the towers, houses, and roads of the yellow sand are all plated with a layer of golden red, and the twilight wind whispers in the ears, blowing the hair that spreads out on the sideburns and half-covering the cheeks. Mu Qingxing walked to a mound high above the ground, the wind blew so that she couldn't open her eyes, she squinted, turned around to look at the sunset that was as red as coals, and was stunned for a while, until the red sun fell little by little behind the rolling dark blue ridge, collecting its last trace of red light in the world.
"Go back quickly, it's cold as soon as it's dark." Aliu whispered beside her.
She had just come to her senses, nodded, wrapped the collar of her lapel-laden robe, and followed Aliu back.
Xue Xiaowei's post first came to He Suizhao, and he went to Gao Du for most of the day, accepted the covenant for Li Shimin, and made a promise not to sign a contract with the second person in the Tang State Mansion. Everything is ready. Xue Gong didn't want to make a blood alliance, so that's it, they were already suspicious of each other, and they didn't have any sincerity at all, so they temporarily restrained each other, and it was good that they didn't cause trouble.
Gao Dutong opened day after day and returned to Wuwei. Whether it is the school captain's mansion or the people in the palace, they are all relieved and busy. Since leaving the Eastern Capital in mid-February, a heart has been hanging for two months. He Suizhao then regained his former appearance of floating waves. Yu Li had a lot of complaints about him, and Mu Qing persuaded him a few times, saying frankly that his character was not bad, and he was never ambiguous about right and wrong, but his mouth was a little cheaper.
I don't know what the reason is, recently, Mu Qing felt a vague pain in his lower abdomen, which still added a soreness to one side of his waist and limbs. I invited the Nara healer to come and see it. I just said that it was not suitable to work, and I kept it quietly, and after three months, there was no major problem, and I was prescribed another dose of medicine. Similar to what I ate before. Neither Ye Na nor Ah Liu have ever given birth, how to understand that, they can only be anxious, but they take care of it according to the doctor's instructions.
I was thinking of going to Honghua County to get together. Although it was only a two-day journey, she didn't dare to drive tirelessly. I had to give up for the time being, wait for a month to be raised, and then make plans.
Counting the days, Li Shimin's army should also arrive in Honghua. So she repaired the letter and told Du Ruhui that the matter entrusted by Du Ruhui had been completed, but because she was slightly ill, she still needed to be raised in the Jincheng Yu Mansion for a few days.
He Suizhao was inconvenient to appear in Honghua with Erlang, and since the mission here had been completed, he agreed to go back to the Eastern Capital with Kang Saburo two days later, and Li Mi responded to Yang Xuangan's call, and Wagangzhai had to be watched by him.
On this day, a messenger was sent to Honghua County, and the household servants would close the door, and someone would knock on the door. The servant had to open the door again, and saw a middle-aged woman standing in front of the door, and saw that the clothes and jewelry were all of the highest quality, but the posture was respectful and polite, not extravagant.
The woman stepped forward and saluted, "The slave family has something important to ask to see Gu Niangzi, please pass it on." ”
At first glance, I heard that the servants of "Gu Niangzi" were a little unaccustomed, and they were stunned for a moment before they reacted, she was talking about her own Ah Lang's sister-in-law, Qiniang, who visited more than half a month ago.
"Excuse me......" His face showed some doubts, but the woman who came was extremely shrewd, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "I only said that the slave family is called Tao Niang, and Gu Niangzi will know." Please also hand it to her. As he spoke, he handed out a handkerchief and handed it to him.
"Peach Girl? How did she get here? Mu Qing got the gift of the servant, and he didn't know what he was doing, so he didn't think he could see it, but he hesitated when he took the silk handkerchief. It was the silk handkerchief she used to test Gu Erniang with poetry, and the handwriting on the bamboo pole on it had some faint traces of dissolving, she folded the handkerchief and turned her head to look at Ye Na. Ye Na nodded hesitantly and said, "Please let her in." ”
As soon as Tao Niang saw Mu Qing, she made a big salute, "Now the big thing has been decided, and Erniang knows that you will return soon, so I want to reminisce about the old days, and I don't know when the next time we meet." ”
Mu Qing didn't know how to take this over, reminiscing about the past, what is there to talk about between them, is it to talk about why they want to talk about why they want to push people down the river in the cold winter moon? Or do you want to tell her why Daddy can't wait to kick her out of the Gu Mansion?
Mu Qing looked at Tao Niang coldly, and had no intention of agreeing. Tao Niang's face was embarrassed, and she suddenly knelt down towards her, and said with a crying voice: "Tao Niang is good at making claims, and she begged Qi Niang to look at her." Over the years, Erniang has had a hard time, do you know which one of the Xue family is good to get along with? I have cried and been wronged behind people's backs, and I can't swallow my tears, but I still have to smile to welcome people when I turn my face. It would be fine if there was a close talk, but not a single relative had come to visit him in the past three years. ”
Hearing this, Ye Na began to groan, evidently showing pity. Mu Qing lowered his head and rubbed the silk handkerchief in his hand, and was silent.
"Qi Niang doesn't feel that Er Niang is ruthless, if she can't be ruthless, how can she survive in the school captain's mansion. My Ah Lang is such a character again, what do you want her to do, how can she disobey. Tao Niang raised the handkerchief in her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes, "Although the two ladies in Yuhang were not friendly in the past, but now that they are unrelated, she always hopes that there are relatives in her heart to look at it, I know that Er Niang can't pull this face, and Qi Niang may not be willing, so I come to invite without permission, and I hope that Qi Niang will be fulfilled." He knelt on the ground as he spoke.
Ye Na hurriedly beckoned to the servants on the side to help her up, Mu Qing twisted his eyebrows, looked at Tao Niang's crying look for a while, and after a while, Fang said lightly: "That's it, you don't have to be like this, I'll see you tomorrow." ”
The tears on Tao Niang's face were still there, her eyes were already smiling, and she bowed to Mu Qingyi, and thanked her in her mouth: "The slave thanked Erniang." "Thank you to the servant and send him out. (To be continued......)
