Chapter 207: Li Dai Taozhuang (24)
The Yulin Langs outside the house had been instructed by He Suizhao in advance, and they did not dare to disturb the people in the house with loud noises, and because of some respect, they became more and more obedient to their duties and did not cause any trouble. Therefore, after the night was covered, this huge mansion was enveloped in it, so quiet that it was impossible to hear the low chirping of autumn insects.
When Yinghua came back, Mu Qing didn't know, she was sitting in the house with Ah Liu, and Shiro and Fu Tanyan were lying side by side on the bed behind her, Ah Liu was whispering comfort, and saw Yinghua push open the door and walk into the house in despair.
She stood in front of the bed, lowered her eyes and looked at Shiro for a while, and suddenly laughed softly, "Sister, hand Shiro to me, can you rest assured?" ”
Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly woke up, knowing in his heart that there must be something bad, but he didn't know what would be worse than now, "What are you talking about!" Her voice suddenly sharpened, and suddenly she looked back at the two children on the bed, covered her mouth, and lowered her voice, "You, where have you been?" For no reason, this son will talk about this headless thing again. ”
"I went to the barracks in the outer city." Yinghua replied lightly as usual.
"What are you doing in the barracks?" Mu Qing became vigilant, "You don't have to do stupid things. ”
Yinghua sighed slowly, "Sister, I'm just going to the camp to find His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and now that our family is like this, he naturally wants me to stay in Chang'an, and prefers me to ...... Enter Hongyi Palace. ”
"You answered him?" Mu Qingteng got up from the bed, and almost fell out of the foot on the side of the couch.
Yinghua bowed his head and was silent, and after a long time, he nodded resignedly. "I know that my sister can't give up Shiro, he's still so young, how can he not have a close relative by his side? Aguaha was separated from him by a layer, and the conduct of the two of them...... How can it be trusted? If I am willing to be a concubine in the Hongyi Palace, His Royal Highness personally promised that I would raise Shiro by my side and raise it with my own hands. ”
Mu Qing closed his eyes hard, only to feel dizzy, and he slowed down for a moment, and he didn't know how he was helped back to the bed by Yinghua and Ah Liu. "Yinghua. Listen to my sister. She squeezed Yinghua's hand. You don't have to. When you were still dying, my sister took you out of Wu County, hoping to earn a future for you, don't be a concubine, and you have really done well over the years. Ride the battlefield with the boys. Birth to death. It's easy to come, and as long as you want, a great future is ahead. Although our family is not good for a while. But you have not been implicated, so why should you ...... In this way, teach my sister how to deal with you and how to deal with your mother-in-law. ”
"This is what my sister is thinking about." Yinghua pursed her lips and forced a smile, "I was also wearing a military uniform for Erlang, speaking of the roots, future merits, my daughter's family, what is the use of coming?" He treated me with a heart, and my sister also watched coldly for all these years, only saying that it was good or not? In this case, what else do I have to worry about, as for whether to be a concubine or not, each person has a certain number in his life, and sooner or later, he will not be able to run a life. ”
"No, no, Yinghua, you don't have to be confused, it's a lifelong matter, don't be rash and impulsive." Mu Qing still shook his head blindly.
"Sister doesn't need to persuade me anymore." Yinghua was sure with a knife and axe, "Between me and Erlang, we either dodge or avoid it, we have always been confused, and we have never sorted it out." Now that I've made up my mind, I've never been so clear. ”
How could Mu Qing not know how much Yinghua's words contained in her fate, how much she covered up, and how much she deliberately wanted to reduce her guilt. With Yinghua's temperament, if she really wanted to follow King Qin, how could she agree to Zhao Cang's request to marry. In the past, she was only afraid that King Qin would bear her, and she was trying to clear up the entanglement between the two of them, but in the end, who would have thought that it was her sister who thought that everything was good for her.
"What else is my sister worried about? With Erlang's heart for me, I will never be bullied at will, but I will take off my armor later, and I am always a little reluctant. originally said that he would go to Xiangzhou to ask Liu Heimin for the next year, but this time, he probably couldn't go, and the friendship of his former colleagues was not allowed to explain in person, so he had to pass on the message on behalf of King Qin......" At this point, Yinghua's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
If it is said that she was just fighting for the King of Qin at the beginning, after the battles of all sizes, the wind and sand on the battlefield and the golden drum in front of the battle have already penetrated into her flesh and blood; The blood-stained robe, the solid bright light armor, and the long sword and horse lance were already part of her bones. She couldn't tell enough, but Mu Qing could understand that what she wanted was not King Qin, nor Zhao Cang, galloping on the battlefield and the bonfire in the military camp was the destination she longed for from the bottom of her heart. That's all, it's definitely not what the daughter's family should have.
"It's just one case, and I ask my sister to take care of it for me." Yinghua stabilized her voice, the redness and swelling under her eyes quietly faded, and she still had a light but still bright complexion, "Doctor Zhao, I failed me, I really didn't live up to him, and I asked my sister to be kind and appeased, and quit this marriage contract." ”
Mu Qing finally felt guilty, smiled bitterly, and nodded.
"Early tomorrow morning, when my sister leaves the city, I will take Shiro and them into the Forbidden Garden." Yinghua stood up and walked to the door of the house without looking back, for fear that he would stay longer, as if he would listen to one more word of advice.
"Tomorrow morning...... Mu Qing muttered in a low voice, turned around and rubbed back and forth on Shiro's sleeping little face a few times, and then rubbed his swollen and sore eyebrows fiercely.
"Qi Niang, the matter has come to this, it's useless to think about it more, think about it in a better place, Shiro is raised by Yinghua's side, so you can rest assured." Ah Liu saw her kneading her eyebrows, thinking that her mind was swollen again. In the past, it was common for Du Ruhui to knead his eyebrows, but I don't know when, even Mu Qing became a habit.
Ah Liu stretched out his hand and slowly rubbed her temples on both sides for a while, the strength of his hand was extremely good, and Mu Qing's chaotic mood gradually calmed down. didn't dare to delay, hurriedly asked Ah Liu to invite Ada to come over, and repeated the arrangements for tomorrow in front of the two of them, and examined them repeatedly until they couldn't find any mistakes, so they told the two to rest early to deal with tomorrow's big events, and then he turned around and went out of the house and went to the second gate to talk to He Suizhao.
He Suizhao was still sitting under the veranda in front of the house, the same as the night before, but there was an extra wine bag in his hand. When Mu Qing walked out of the inner courtyard, He Suizhao was raising his head and swallowing a large sip of wine. The candles in the stone lamp flickered. He squinted and looked straight at her as she walked over, his heart teaching the wine to burn warm.
Mu Qing walked straight to his side, and without saluting, he sat down on the stone steps beside him.
"Are all things all right?" He Suizhao asked in a deep voice, and a smell of wine came to his face.
"It's all right." Mu Qing's tone was thin.
"Yinghua's business...... It was done very quickly, she hadn't come back yet, the teachings of Hongyi Palace had already been transmitted, if it weren't for the current inconvenience, the old acquaintances in the feather forest would definitely hold her and congratulate her......" He Suizhao carefully picked the words. Not a word. Teach Mu Qing to interrupt coldly, "Don't say it anymore, I just hate not to be like those outsiders, just as if she entered the palace happily." ”
He Suizhao closed his mouth with amusement. He threw his head up and took another sip of wine. Hesitated. still handed the wine bag in his hand to Mu Qing, "Kang Saburo got the private collection there." ”
Mu Qing took the wine bag and held it up to him. "I will thank you by borrowing your wine." After saying that, he tilted his neck and took a big bite, "This mouthful, I thank Keming for your willingness to take risks for him." ”
Without waiting for He Suizhao to reply, she raised the wine bag and poured another big sip, this time she drank in a hurry, choking slightly, "This is you who I thank myself, from the bottom of my heart, I Gu Qi Niang owes you a lot, and a 'thank you' is not enough." ”
He Suizhao chuckled a few times inexplicably, and was about to retrieve the wine bag, but saw her raise her head and pour a few more sips, but this time she was a little uncontrollable, under the moonlight and the lamplight, she could see that her thin wrist could not help but tremble slightly, and half of the wine in the wine bag taught her to drink, and half of it overflowed her chin along the corner of her lips, and snaked down to her chest, and the silk on the skirt was wet.
"This is for the beneficiaries of the world to honor you. Thinking of those irrelevant people, who received the general's favor in vain, it would be better for Qi Niang to thank them for them, and never teach the general to work in vain. Mu Qing put down the wine bag, raised her hand and wiped the wine spilled on her lips and chest with her sleeve without care, the wine was bitter, the same as the smile on her face, "Qi Niang is a woman, short-sighted, narrow-minded, I don't know what the righteousness of the world is, I have just followed my blind husband over the years." But the truth that it can't be harmed by others, Qi Niang still understands. Now that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, he knowingly commits a crime, and he wants to risk his life when he is involved, which is really not ...... I'm afraid that after Ke Ming wakes up and learns about it, he won't forgive......"
As she spoke, her voice and head lowered together, the smell of wine crept up, her mind was still clear, and her eyes were already misty.
He Suizhao took the wine bag and took a sip of the bag, "It's rare that Qi Niang is willing to sit down and listen to me say a few words, to tell the truth, Qi Niang doesn't want to make fun of it." In the early years, Qi Niang was cold, only when her family identity was not as good as Brother Du, she fought hard for a few years with her life, entered Chang'an, and earned an official and a half position, thinking that she was not inferior to Brother Du in terms of net worth. Unexpectedly, Qi Niang was still disdainful of me, and He Sui was puzzled for a while, and only now can he be considered fully enlightened. ”
Mu Qing really covered her mouth and chuckled, seeing that He Suizhao stopped talking in a slightly embarrassed way, she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I'm not laughing at the general, I just thought of those things in the past, somewhat, somewhat...... Only, what did the general realize? She propped her head on her lap with one hand, and waved her hand a few times, looking weak and not very controlled.
He Sui knew that she was drunk, let go of her restraints, and talked more, and now she was frank and true, and she intended to say something that had been hidden in her heart for many years, and then continued: "I lost to Brother Du not because of Qi Niang's sooner or later days, nor because of my good background, but here." He lifted his hand holding the sac and pounded his heart. Brother Du's courage to seek for the world is beyond my reach. He also mentioned to me that a man must have something to do in order to be in vain in the afterlife. It's a pity that all I thought about at that time was resentment, and all I had survived was to earn a good background, so that my family revenge could be avenged, and in the end I lost my style. ”
Mu Qing cupped his cheeks and looked at him quietly. He took another sip of wine, and his breath became cheerful, "Fortunately, it's not too late for me to understand, family feuds can't be worth righteousness." What Brother Du risked his life to do, I, He Suizhao, should always help him. Besides, if it weren't for Brother Du's help, there would not have been a congratulatory sign in this world sixteen years ago, let alone General Ning Yuan, and it would be time to repay it a little. ”
Mu Qing sighed slowly, took the wine bag in He Suizhao's hand, only to feel that the wine bag had lightened a lot, and after shaking it twice, it turned out to be empty. She staggered to her feet on the stone steps, dropped the sentence "Wait for me", and walked to the back kitchen by herself. (To be continued.) )
