Chapter 199: Li Dai Taozhuang (16)
In the spring, the people of Chang'an are racing to run to the Qushui outside the city according to the convention, and the Qixia Gate, which is closest to the Qujiang River, has naturally become the busiest one among the many city gates in Chang'an these days.
However, at this time, the Mingde Gate next to the side took away the brilliance of the Qixia Gate. Whenever the Qin King's purge team drove out of the city, the people in the city were still excited, men, women and children, all gathered on both sides of the avenue, and there was a great posture of eating pot pulp to welcome the king's division. Among them, there are girls who want to see the brilliance of King Qin and the generals, and there are also people who want to see the good deeds of the female general who is inseparable from King Qin.
Yinghua's appearance has reached the peak of her prime, her eyebrows are like stars, her mouth is Danzhu, and her fair complexion is lined with a red robe, and she shows an indescribable charm in the grandeur.
Zhao Cang followed the middle of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion unhurriedly, and from time to time he glanced at the red and vibrant figure in front of him. Yinghua turned his head and inadvertently saw his burning gaze, somewhat embarrassed, but he was not tired of him, so he quickly pulled the corner of his lips at him, barely smiling.
This smile was like a spring flower blooming in Zhao Cang's eyes, and the soft waves were boundless. He lowered his head and secretly pursed his lips and smiled, and couldn't help but secretly wonder that she had made her own promise, after she suppressed Wang Shichong and pacified the Eastern Capital, she would marry him, and now it was finally the day of the expedition to the Eastern Capital. Before the opening, it was found that the eastern capital was now suffering from hunger and starvation, and it was not very difficult to come to this battle, and he was one step closer to the time of his marriage. He has never looked forward to the honor of the lady of the county, but he wants to join hands in the second half of his life.
Mu Qing once again stood at the battlement of the city tower to see her relatives go on the expedition, her heart was already calm, and she was even a little happy, according to the current situation, this should be the last big campaign, and when this battle is over, she no longer has to wait for Du Ruhui to inform her of the news of the expedition, and she no longer has to wipe the two pairs of armor at home. No matter how treacherous the dispute between the DPRK and China is, it is always better not to slaughter the enemy on the battlefield.
The eldest grandson stood on the other side of the battlements as always and smiled at her, her belly bulging high again, but it was conceivable that the pity that she once could not hope for was now in full bloom, and it could be regarded as living up to her painstaking efforts. Mu Qing tilted her head and bent her knees, but when she looked up, her eyes met with a flirtatious smile, standing behind the eldest grandson was He Suizhao, the general of Ningyuan who was now leading the royal guard.
Hu Dalang returned to Chang'an, and He Suizhao also returned. Mu Qing chuckled in his heart, and couldn't help but glance at his nonchalant grinning face, and in the blink of an eye, he suddenly saw him nodding at himself, raising his hand and touching his nose a few times at random, intentionally or unintentionally making a gesture of three.
What does this mean? Mu Qing frowned and couldn't understand it, because there were many people, he didn't dare to look more, and then turned his face to look at the formation out of the city, and he had already lost sight of the figure, leaving only a thick yellow dragon-like smoke and dust.
All the way from Mingdemen to Yongxingfang, Mu Qing was stuffed in the car, and his mind was going over and over again with He Sui Zhao's strange behavior, if he said that he did it unintentionally, it was really against his consistent behavior, if it was intentional, what did the gesture of the third convey to her.
She guessed for a long time in a distraught manner, but she didn't have the slightest clue or where the car was going, only to hear the voices of people outside the car, mixed with the noise of cars and horses. She impatiently pushed open the pane and looked out, it was to the East Market, turn the East Market to reach Yongxingfang, the noise was only for a while, so she put down the pane again, and said to herself and endure for a while.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a crusting sound of cymbals in her ears, which made her brain buzz, she hurriedly straightened up, stretched out the hand that had not yet retracted to her side again, and the opening of the pane was facing an avenue that ran through the East City, and the building at the other end of the avenue was higher than the other shops, which was Kang Saburo's liquor store.
Kang Saburo was a Sogdian, born with a high nose and deep eyes, He Suizhao's action of touching his nose alluded to the Sogdian's tall nose bridge? and made a gesture of three on the wing of the nose, could it be that it was Kang Saburo?
"Ada, Ada, you don't have to go back to Yongxingfang first." Mu Qing hurriedly raised the curtain on the carriage and called Ada, who was driving the car, "Take me into the East City and go to Kang Saburo's wine shop." ”
The carriage will stop at the entrance of the liquor store, and Kang Saburo's loud voice has been raised outside the carriage, "Qi Niang has not seen her for a while." Yibi said that Yibi stepped forward to raise the curtain and placed the pedal diligently, "The new brew I just got a few days ago was about to send someone to invite me, so I have to run a leg now." ”
The two of them went back and forth at the door of the store for a while, and then entered the store with a smile, and the people who watched in the dark of the East Market looked at this scene from beginning to end, and they were a little disdainful in their hearts, this Gu Qi Niang has also wasted her reputation over the years, and she is not like the official family members next to her, she always loves to get close to the lowly merchants when she has nothing to do, and she is also a little casual, and she can't complain that although she is the Gu family in Jiangnan, she is also from a slightly cold background.
After two cups of tea, Mu Qing took Ah Liu out of the store with a smile, Kang Saburo personally sent it to the door, and hurriedly instructed the two little servants to move a big wine jar to her car.
Mu Qing sat straight back in the car, Ada withdrew his footsteps, and drove to Yongxingfang, and there was nothing wrong with it. No one else knows that in the dark carriage at this moment, the hot booklet that Mu Qing is carrying in his arms almost condenses the resentment and anger of hundreds of people, and it will ignite a fire above the court at any time, half of the court, together with half of the harem, burned to the point that there are no ashes left.
……
"Mother, mother." Yongxingfang's Du Mansion was dull for a whole winter, and finally stayed in the spring breeze to blow the pond water, the grass and trees to vomit tender green, Du Shilang stepped on his calves, all the way to the fragrance of grass, from the deepest courtyard in the house, running from a small courtyard in the deepest part, crisp call to the mother.
Mu Qing stood up from a stone bench in the garden, smiled, stretched out his arms, and said softly: "Slow down, carefully fall into the mud." ”
Shiro plunged into Mu Qing's arms, raised his little face, and looked at her very seriously, "Brother and Ayan, what are they doing in Langyuan every day?" Why don't you be stubborn? ”
"Your brother, they are reading books, don't be naughty to disturb them." Mu Qing hugged his small body and sat on her lap.
"Are you so naughty in studying?" Shiro's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but look into the small courtyard deep in the winding path.
"Studying is naturally not a stubborn thing, Shiro doesn't see the brothers studying hard every day, and there is no time to play." Mu Qing deliberately straightened his smiling face, grabbed his two small fists and replied.
"It's not stubborn, brother, why do they still have to read it?" The two small eyebrows on the little face had been wrinkled into a ball of confusion.
Mu Qing rubbed his little head, "We can't be naughty all the time, if we are only blindly stubborn, we will always be a little doll who does not grow up." ”
"Can't you grow like Daddy?"
Mu Qingxu nodded matter-of-factly.
Koshiro stared at his mother's eyes for a while, then suddenly twisted a few times and slid off her laps, stood firm in front of her, and patted his little chest anxiously, "Shiro is also going to study, and he will be the same as Daddy in the future." ”
Mu Qingxiao bent his eyebrows, Ah Liu stepped forward and leaned over and touched his tender little face, "Shiro is so ambitious, when Daddy returns home tomorrow, let's ask him to go, can Shiro study with his brothers?" ”
The little figure jumped to the rest of the garden with great interest, the joy in Ah Liu's eyes could not be concealed, and he shook Mu Qing's arm, "Du Qi heard the news outside at noon, and now the King of Qin has garrisoned twenty miles outside the city, and it is time to enter the city tomorrow." It's really not easy, who would have thought that this battle would drag on for a full year, and now it's fine. ”
Before the words fell, Du Qi carried his robe and rushed in from the outer courtyard, "Lady, Yinghua has returned home first." ”
Mu Qing threw the book in his hand onto the stone table, "Ah Liu, the mugwort leaf that I ordered to prepare yesterday is ready?" Hurry up and let someone boil the mugwort leaf soup for bathing first......"
"Lady, let's be quiet first, listen to me......" Du Qi sighed worriedly, "Don't mess with mugwort leaf soup, Yinghua she, she, if she is injured, I'm afraid it's ......"
Mu Qing was like a slap in the face, his ears were "buzzing", and he didn't care about the people next to him, so he picked up his skirt and ran to the gate of the front yard. Du Qi hurriedly chased after him, "Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, the person who passed the word said that the injury was injured, but he didn't hit the vital point, and if he wants to come, it's not in the way." ”
Mu Qing couldn't hear this, and ran to the gate in a hurry, just as a carriage would stop at his door. There was another rider on the side of the carriage, with a black robe and black leather armor, looking tired, but the figure on the horse did not lose half of its heroism. Mu Qing hurriedly lowered his head and said, "How can you work Your Highness." Later, several family members who came out saluted together, and said one after another, "Your Royal Highness is blessed." ”
Li Shimin turned over and dismounted, and waved his hand casually, "Qi Niang is polite, and I have taken those false courtesies." ”
The curtain on the car moved, revealing half of a bright plain face, "Sister, sister, come and hold me." ”
Seeing that her complexion was as usual, and she could still smile hippie, Mu Qing estimated that the injury was not very tight, secretly relieved, and was about to step forward to help, but saw that the upper and lower dark figures blocked her way very quickly, and uncontrollably raised the curtain, reached into the car and pulled Yinghua out, and in the blink of an eye Mu Qing, he had already beaten her horizontally and picked her up.
"What are you doing?" Yinghua shouted, "Don't let me go down yet." I only hurt one leg, and I haven't broken my tendons yet, and I can still walk. ”
Unexpectedly, Li Shimin turned a deaf ear, and strode towards the mansion, while turning his head sideways to Mu Qing and said, "Please also ask Qi Niang to lead the way." ”
Mu Qingdeng's head was swollen, and he resisted the urge to hold his forehead and sigh, and swept a sharp look at the servants and maids standing on the left and right.
Over there, Yinghua saw that the scolding was fruitless, so she simply shut up, lost her face coldly, and still carried him sideways to the courtyard where she lived. At the moment, Mu Qingyuan still thought that it was inconvenient for him to enter the house, and then thought about it, although there was no appointment, but Yinghua finally said that it was decided to Zhao Cang early in the morning, if he didn't enter the house in order to avoid being embarrassed for a while, he was afraid that Yinghua's reputation would be ruined, and he couldn't stand Zhao Cang's face, so he stubbornly followed in.
Fortunately, after entering the house, Li Shimin put Yinghua down, and Mu Qing stepped forward to check the injury, and blocked the two personalities without a trace. "It's not in the way, only an arrow was hit on the side of the leg, fortunately, it is not deep, it does not hurt the muscles and bones, and it will be good for a few days." Yinghua raised a smile and said to Mu Qingdao.
"You raise yourself, don't move around, I'll go back to the camp first, and sacrifice the prisoner before the holy drive in a few days, and then come to see you." Li Shimin walked to the door of the house with a calm face, there was no concern on his face, but his eyes were stuck on Yinghua's smiling face, and he couldn't help but take a wrong step under his feet.
Mu Qing took him out of the house half-pleased, half-swaying, and thanked him, "Your Highness Lao." ”
Li Shimin's feet froze, and he glanced at her thoughtfully, "The first time I met Qi Niang seemed to be yesterday, it has been more than ten years, I thought that Jiangnan women were weak and couldn't last a few years, and I didn't want to be tenacious to this point, it was extremely difficult to think about it." If today's big decision, there will be a big thanks, before this big thanks, Erlang must first offer a favor, how so? ”
Mu Qing tilted his head and frowned, "I don't know what His Highness is referring to......"
Li Shimin laughed twice, but he couldn't hear any laughter in the laughter, "When I see Keming tomorrow, he will talk to you." When I was in session, I also asked Qi Niang to smile, don't refuse. ”R1152
