Mu Qing sat on the drum-shaped stone bench in front of the house with his cheeks, his elbows propped up on the stone table in front of him, and he stared at the yang-carved lotus-patterned bluestone bricks in the courtyard. The winter she had just experienced was a hardship for her, and she only shrank in the house all day long, and she couldn't do without the smoker and charcoal basin for heating.

The bitter cold of the winter in Jinyang City is even harsher than that of the Eastern Capital, and in this strange small house with two entrances and four sides, the long and harsh winter is becoming more and more difficult. Since the siege of Yanmen Pass was relieved in the autumn of last year, Yang Guang really identified the father and son of Tang Guogong and assigned them to garrison in Jinyang City to prevent the Turks from committing again.

Mu Qing then entered Jinyang City, and as soon as he arrived here, he struggled with the harsh winter. Fortunately, due to Du Ruhui's entrustment, when Erlang sent people to Jiangdu to transport gold cakes, he went to Yuhang and picked up Ada Aliu and his wife, and Du Qi and Ah Yue Ah Xing came to take care of them.

In the afternoon, she had to lay down the thick curtains in the house, snuggle up by the smoker, and hide in the fuzzard, until Du Ruhui returned, and then replaced the heating utensils from the smoker to his palm and chest. provoked him to repeatedly jokingly call her a wintering fox.

Rao is so steady and careful, after the winter, she still tired Zhao Cang several times, coughed for several days, and the decoction continued, and she was tired of eating herself, so that she didn't want to eat it again or twice.

In front of Du Ruhui, Zhao Cang said bluntly: "In the past, I suffered from the great cold, and it was inevitable that I would be injured, if I didn't concentrate on recuperation, there would be no hope for the heirs." She reluctantly continued to take the medicine according to the prescription.

When the spring finally came, Mu Qing relaxed at this time, and the warm sun spread for days, the swallows murmured among the beams, and the branches of the grass and trees were drawn. Although the spring is not as good as the suburbs of the eastern capital, let alone Yuhangjing Mountain, it is good to disperse the cold after all.

She was sitting in the splashing sunlight in front of the main house, watching Ah Yue and Ah Xing work together to carry the bronze charcoal stove engraved with cloud bats and plum blossom patterns to the backyard miscellaneous room. The door of the side room was pushed open by Huo Di, Ah Liu hugged a little child, and came out with a string of immature giggles, Mu Qing hurriedly clapped his palms, stretched out his arms and said, "Ah Yan come and teach aunt to hug." ”

Fu Yanyan, who was more than a year old, giggled, leaned forward in Ah Liu's arms, and jumped in the direction of Mu Qing.

When Mu Qing left Yuhang alone, Ah Liushang had a round belly and gave birth to a boy not long after, because Ada was a Sogdian Hu and did not know his father, let alone his surname, so he only gave this firstborn son a Hu name, called Yan Yan. Everyone thought he was talking nonsense, and only called him Ayan.

Ayan's appearance is also like a child with a high nose and thin lips, thick eyelashes, and distinct eyes, but it has the slender appearance of a woman in the south of the Aliu River, so she looks at the delicate eyebrows and eyes, and the contours are handsome. Mu Qing often smiled and said that when he grows up, he will be a face that harms the little ladies.

After teasing Ayan for a while, he suddenly saw Du Qi leading a man from the gate. Walking through a floating wave, with a light face, a pair of peach blossom eyes on her smiling face looked at her intently, Mu Qing could see at a cursory glance that it was He Suizhao who came.

Seeing the child in Mu Qing's arms, He Suizhao was stunned. Mu Qing smiled lightly: "This is Ah Liu's Xiaolang, whose name is Fu Yanyan." ”

Ah Liu never waited to see him, glanced at him, then reached out and hurriedly took Ah Yan from Mu Qing's arms, and went to the backyard.

"Keming is not at home at the moment." Mu Qing took a seat and said directly, looked at him casually, and turned over the past several times in his mind, only to remember that the last time he saw him, it was when he helped Li Mi escape from Huaiyang, and it was more than a load. Compared with that time, he was indeed much darker and thinner, and his spirit was still good.

"Qi Niang has always been fine? Has the winter cough recurred? Although the expression was a little frivolous, the greeting was really earnest.

Mu Qing sighed softly in his heart and muttered to himself, why did he come here, and his mouth was polite, "I'm worried about my work, I'm fine, Keming is safe." ”

He Suizhao smiled to himself, "Naturally, it's fine, that's fine." As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Mu Qing, "Do you remember Li Mi who Huaiyang saw that time?" He had been hiding in Honghua County for a while, and now he had been sent to Wagang Village. This letter is written by him himself, please hand it over to Brother Du, and he will be relieved when he sees the letter. ”

Mu Qing took the letter, and when Ah Yue came with tea, the two sat down on the stone table and ate a cup of tea, Mu Qing suddenly asked, "That concubine from Huaiyang County, how is it now?" ”

He Suizhao was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and smiled unnaturally, "Maybe it's good, it's not very clear, and I haven't had time to explore it yet." ”

Just looking at his expression, Mu Qing swallowed his words and put aside the topic and didn't ask any more questions. The two chatted casually, and Du Qi hurried over again, panting and saying, "Tang Guogong, the eldest grandson of Tang Guogong's family is here." The car arrived at the gate and was getting off. ”

"It's a precious day today, and the high rollers are overwhelming." Mu Qing casually joked, and got up to greet him.

He Suizhao frowned, "It was inconvenient for me to see Erlang's relatives, so I went first." ”

Mu Qingxin said, it is inconvenient to meet Erlang's relatives, but is it convenient to meet me every time? He only nodded with a smile on his face, saluted, and then remembered some words, and called him to speak quickly: "I have time to go back to the Eastern Capital to see He Sui in charge." Then he pointed to the low part of the backyard wall and let him climb the tree and go over the wall.

He Suizhao's figure had just disappeared in the backyard, and Du Qi led the eldest grandson and a maidservant who accompanied her, and walked around, looking at the mansion as they walked.

The eyes finally fell on Mu Qing in front of the main house, but seeing her white background pine green silk pattern skirt, Xu was afraid of the cold, her shoulders and arms were still wrapped in beige curtains, without a trace of makeup on her face, and she simply piled up a single screw bun, and only the golden hairpin with the double-stacked treasure flower that Erlang had just returned was inserted obliquely into the bun.

is so plain, but also delicate and good-looking, the eldest grandson's heart moved slightly, if she is a man, or she will fall in love with such a woman, it is really as elegant and delicate as a lotus. Judging from the face alone, she would never have imagined that she would infiltrate the caravan to find her husband all the way, and only take three people to go deep into the Turkic royal court to lobby Princess Yicheng, all of which came from her.

Not to mention the words and laughter, scattering tens of millions of family wealth, using it as a military to fund others to seize the world, such a big hand, not to mention a woman, is a man in this world, and a few can do it. The eldest grandson's heart respects her.

Mu Qing stepped forward with a smile, and the two saluted each other and greeted each other. Different from He Suizhao's casualness, Mu Qing was not good at teaching her to sit on the stone bench outside, under the sun, and when she was about to welcome her into the main house, she waved her hand, "The spring sun is warm, it is more comfortable than the house, let's just sit outside and talk." ”

The two sat down together, and Ah Liu saw that He Suizhao had left and the eldest grandson had come, so he handed Ah Yan to Ah Yue Ah Xing and brought two teas from the back kitchen.

Mu Qing took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said with a smile: "This time, the lord praised Erlang, Tang Guogong was promoted to the pacification ambassador of Taiyuan Province, and Qi Niang has not congratulated Mrs. yet." ”

"Inside, the work of the Qiniang couple is indispensable." The eldest grandson waved his hand modestly, and stretched out his hand to cross the circle in mid-air, "This house, Qi Niang is still happy to live in?" ”

"Thank you, Madame, for taking the trouble to place it, it's really wonderful."

The eldest grandson covered his mouth and laughed, "It's not worth thanks, this should be within the part of my Tang State Mansion." Since everyone has followed my Li family, it is not good to teach people to settle down. I am a housewife, and I don't know anything about foreign affairs, and I can only do my best in this idea and my usual life. ”

After a pause, she pointed to the green bricks under the courtyard, and the lotus yang pattern appeared more and more clear and detailed under the sun, and she stepped on it step by step, as if she was born a lotus step by step, "A pond of lotus flowers in the Du house in the eastern capital, but I couldn't transplant it for Qi Niang, it's a pity, fortunately, the original owner is elegant, and when I find this house, I see the lotus green bricks all over the ground, and the end is good-looking, and I can also respond to a scene." ”

Since the death of Mrs. Dou, no one is in charge of the inner house, and the eldest grandson is a capable one, and after more than three years of experience, he is now like the situation of the head mother of the mansion. Just inside and outside the words, one sentence after another, my Li family, my Tang Guogong Mansion, listening to it has a little taste, Mu Qing thought to himself that she was still afraid of Yinghua, and she was always a little uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but confess between her words.

At the moment, the two sat opposite each other without saying anything, and each ate tea silently. The sun was slanting, spreading on the eldest grandson's body, reflecting that something seemed to be flickering around her waist. In order to find some topics, Mu Qing pointed to her waist and asked, "What kind of stubborn thing is hanging?" ”

With a smile, the eldest grandson took off a small and delicate colorful glass bottle from his waist and carefully handed it to Mu Qing. "It's not stubborn."

Mu Qing delicately held up the glass bottle, and looked at it carefully, only to see that the bottle body was overflowing, delicate and bright. There is a small pill in the bottle, the color of which is vermilion, which is eye-catching. "What is this?" She asked, confused.

The eldest grandson pursed his lips, and said with a slight retribution: "I have watched coldly for so many years, Du Alang has only been around Qi Niang since the beginning, and he loves him to the extreme, and it has nothing to do with Qi Niang daring to risk his life and death. I was full of envy and admiration, and privately thought that I wanted to take Qi Niang as a model, so I ......"

Mu Qing suddenly understood, and he lifted the glass vial again to take a closer look, and said to the eldest grandson: "So Madame prepared a highly poisonous pill and hung it around her day and night, in case of an emergency, to die at any time?" ”

The eldest grandson nodded solemnly. Mu Qing handed back the glass bottle and said no more. Ah Liu listened to it on the side, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, if there was really a change, Qi Niang would undoubtedly be willing to go to trouble with Ah Lang, but she never put this on her lips, and never showed it. This eldest grandson lady is really used to coming to things, and there is a poison hanging in her waist, and everyone she sees can know her ambitions, and when she comes to Erlang, her loyalty is even more obvious. If you really have this heart, why bother to show it, everyone knows it, and it is good to behave.

At this moment, Mu Qing's heart was not so careful, he really didn't like her style, he didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to sit with a smile because of his face.

The eldest grandson sat down for a while, got up to leave, and was in Mu Qing's heart, so he hurriedly got up to send him off.

But at this moment, the door opened, and Du Qi raised his voice and said, "Ah Lang has returned." Everyone looked up together, Du Ruhui and Li Shimin walked into the house together, Li Shimin looked anxious and anxious, although Du Ruhui was calm, but also dignified.

When he entered the courtyard and saw that the eldest grandson was also there, Li Shimin pressed down the anxiety and impatience on his face, stood firmly at her, and dropped a sentence coldly, "You wait here, and we will go back together after I have spoken a few words to Brother Du." ”

As soon as he heard this, Mu Qing suddenly vaguely felt that there seemed to be a subtle change between the two of them, and it was better to be cold from the previous side, and then look at the eldest grandson's family, and respond decently, although his face was always dignified and solemn, but at this moment there was a subtle joy.
