In the thirteenth year of the Great Cause of Sui, on the fifth day of the seventh month.

Jinyang City seemed to have stayed awake all night, and the whole city was like a pot of boiling water, with large and small water bubbles churning and boiling. The doors of all the houses were closed, and few ordinary people knew what was going on, and even if they did, they did not dare to open the doors and go to the streets to see the excitement.

The dawn of this day is later than usual, and it is usually a day of great light, but today it is dark and uncertain. Mu Qingli was on the terrace of a small building in the east of Jinyang Palace, and looked up at the sky, and the thick clouds in the sky were piled up, which was the reason why the sky was not transparent. The sunny drought in Taiyuan County that began at the spring equinox may end today.

In the pavilion behind her, there were three insiders, all of whom were silent, and they had no intention of greeting others, each with their own hearts churning. In addition to the two aunts and sisters-in-law of the eldest grandson who are familiar with each other, the other is the lady who followed the last lady in the line on the day Li Jiancheng entered Jinyang City, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family, from the Zheng family in Xingyang, and her name is called Guanying, and people close to her call her a shadow girl.

The side of the small building faces the wide Qianyang Gate, two rows of huge Tang character flags have been violently bloomed in the wind, Tang Guocheng proclaimed the military oath on the city tower in front of the Qianyang Gate, counted all kinds of evil deeds of Yang Guang, lost virtue in the world, it is nothing more than "Xingjia Jinyang, Fengzun Daidi, sweep Xianluo, Jining Yu County" and the like.

Mu Qing had no intention of listening, his hands were on his lower abdomen, and he stared at the familiar figure in the crowd behind Tang Guogong. Last night, he caressed her still flat and traceless abdomen, and told her over and over again not to run around again, and An Sheng was waiting in Jinyang. You can't run to him recklessly like you did when you were in Yuhang.

This time she was willing to nod obediently in agreement, which made him feel very relieved, and promised that when she gave birth, she would definitely be by her side. Unexpectedly, she laughed and said, "I can't do anything for me, I want you to accompany me." ”

The two whispered to the third watch, but did not mention a word about the levy until dawn the next day. When Mu Qing tied his hair. He couldn't help but ask her, "I usually want to go out, but I can't stop chattering, and I have to tell her everything." Why don't you mention it now? ”

"What do you want to mention? The Lady of the Kingdom you once promised. Do you remember? A monstrous sparkle. I'll wait. She put her arms around his neck, tilted her head and laughed playfully, and pointed to her lower abdomen and said, "Even if you can give me up." Maybe he left him? Everyone says that a mother is more precious than a child, but now I don't want to use his light to hook your soul so that I can teach you to always remember to come back and see you neatly? ”

Du Ruhui lowered her head and laughed sullenly when she heard this, she turned around to find a hair wrapper, and when she turned her back to him, she secretly wiped her moist eyes.

The thunder in front of the Qianyang Gate woke her up from a daze, and the eldest grandson walked to her side silently at some point, and visited her with the railing. Needless to say, she is tied to Erlang, and she has the same sorrow.

The generals on the city tower raised their arms and shouted in unison, and the soldiers and soldiers of the array outside the Qianyang Gate roared, and for a while, the whole and majestic roar filled the heaven and earth, and it was indeed inciting the pride in the hearts of the people.

A thick branch of lightning suddenly swept through the sky, slashing straight into the ground from the clouds, as if connecting the heavens and the earth. The next moment, a loud bang blended into the roars of the soldiers, and they all felt like divine help, invincible.

Most of the people in the city, who had hid in their houses and did not dare to come out and watch, opened their doors and rejoiced. In Jinyang City, from the elderly to the Huangkou children, it is known that Li Taishou killed the rebels when praying for rain in the Jin Ancestral Hall, in order to comfort the gods.

Now on the day of the army, it was really raining from the sky, and this rain that fell just right made the people suddenly feel that the army led by Tang Guogong was indeed a righteous army that obeyed the mandate of heaven. How can anyone dare to rebel against the heavens and disobey and praise him? For a while, the people of the city joined in this pot of boiling water, which made the army boil and soar into the sky, and it had the potential to lose the color of the world.

The banner of the Tang character was held high, at the forefront, and a group of generals headed by Tang Guogong, wearing armor, then jumped on their horses and whipped them, and marched towards the south in a mighty way. The queue of soldiers was passing through the Qianyang Gate one by one in an orderly manner, and the raindrops of beans began to snap down, knocking on the soldiers' helmets, inspiring the sonorous sound of gold and iron striking each other.

Mu Qing stood in place like a wood carved clay sculpture, seemingly unaware of the falling raindrops, but fortunately, the raindrops were sparse and not dense. If someone looked at her at this moment, it was not difficult to see that her lips were trembling slightly, and the fingers that overlapped her lower abdomen were shaking uncontrollably. It's just that at this time, the other people on the terrace are all engrossed in the soldiers who are rushing out below, and no one can see the storm under her silent description.

In the tide of the crowd, Du Ruhui's figure has long been gone, Mu Qing looked at the invisible shadow stupidly, his brain didn't know where to jump out, as if he was back in the east gate of the Eastern Capital, Tang Guogong was ordered to go to Liaodong Town, in the cold wind of early spring, she wrapped her canopy and held the battlement of the city wall with tears to see him away, he turned back on the horse against the morning light and smiled warmly.

The scene was like a soft but leaning palm, caressing her heart and a faint smile on her lips. In the past, she never put Yuan Tiangang's proverbs at ease, but now she is very willing to believe him, "Break the army and cultivate momentum", which is not just implying that he can earn a glorious dignitary through the war.

What is glorious or not is not in her eyes, but on the day of glory, at least he can return safely as he has done on every previous expedition. Mu Qing moved his numb legs a few times, turned back to the pavilion, picked a high chair with soft cushions, and sat down peacefully.

The one who took the back into the pavilion was Mrs. Zheng. She bowed her head lightly to Mu Qing, "The Dudao Gu lady has an extraordinary appearance, and when I see it now, I know that those people outside are shallow, and this dusty complexion, where can they compare it indiscriminately." ”

This sudden compliment made Mu Qing feel a little uncomfortable, and she said in her heart, there will definitely be no less of all kinds of rhetoric given to me outside, only this "extraordinary appearance" is the least. At this moment, she didn't want to talk much, and when she saw the eldest grandson coming in from outside, she decided to throw the conversation to her, and said in her mouth, "Mrs. eldest grandson said about her appearance. I'm really ashamed of Qi Niang. ”

Mrs. Zheng probably felt that she had said the wrong thing, so she laughed dryly, sat aside and didn't speak, only peeking at her from time to time. Judging from his appearance, he was mediocre in appearance and had no appearance to speak of, but he was born meek and kind, with a compassionate appearance, not like such a thoughtful person.

The sound in front of the Qianyang door gradually died out, and he looked out from the open door on all sides in the pavilion. There were only a few dozen people left. Surrounded by a young general. The eldest grandson looked at Mu Qing's line of sight and said softly: "Right now, the people of the whole city, together with us women, all rely on Shiro to guard them. ”

"Avonte is bold. Shiro is not yet fifteen. How can you keep a city? Zheng pinched the corner of the silk handkerchief. stared at the half-grown boy below in a daze.

The eldest grandson retracted his gaze and took Mu Qing's hand affectionately, "Isn't there still Sister Gu here?" Sister-in-law doesn't need to worry. The words turned around her, and then turned back to Mu Qing.

Mu Qing had to cheer up and say a few perfunctory words. The four of them sat in the pavilion for a while, each with their own thoughts, and had no intention of socializing.

On the way back to the house, the people in the streets, alleys, and markets had not yet dispersed, and Mu Qing leaned on the wall of the car tiredly and refused to move. Ayanagihara wanted to talk to her, but he didn't have to think much to know that she didn't want to say more, but he was afraid that she would be suffocated and cranky. After hesitating for a long time, she suddenly remembered something that could be used to divide her gods.

"Qi Niang feels weird?" Seeing that she was stunned, Aliu reached out and nudged the back of her hand.

"What's weird?" She came to her senses.

"That Mrs. Zheng." Ah Liu blinked, "Just now in that pavilion, she seems to always want to look at you, but she doesn't dare to face it, but she can't help but secretly glance at the side." ”

"Yes?" Mu Qing recalled the situation in the pavilion suspiciously, at that time, his mind was occupied by Du Ruhui's figure, and he couldn't think of anything else. "She's willing to see, it's not about us."

Ah Liu sat up straight, "Why is it irrelevant, isn't she exactly, the main room of the Li family's eldest man?" She shook her hand a little urgently, but she couldn't express what she meant.

"Do you want to say that she and Li Dalang are the same dog? Be more wary of her? Mu Qing smiled slightly.

Aliu nodded hurriedly, "Exactly, exactly." ”

"It's natural to be careful." Mu Qing folded his hands, took a deep breath, and wanted to swallow the nausea that ran up his throat, and after a while, he relieved his breath, "Disasters are not cautious and cautious and don't come to find people, things are always like this, the more you are afraid, you will come, you can't hide, just let it be." Besides, to this day, I am afraid that those unprovoked disasters will not come to fruition. ”

Ah Liu tilted his head and thought about it, as if it was such a reason, and nodded slowly and was silent.

……

From the day the army was set out, the water fell from heaven, and the rain never ceased. The rain was not heavy, and it rained for more than half a month. Ah Liu was talking with Mu Qing in the main house, always holding one or two pieces of needlework in his hands, and the two looked out from the open door of the main house, and the three-year-old Fu Tanyan waved a small wooden sword in his hand, learning from his father's appearance, swinging one move at a time.

Ah Liu pulled the apricot soft silk in his hand a few times, "Now the soft silk is also rare, and the size of this piece of material may only be able to sew a pocket for Xiao Ah Lang." ”

"How do you know it's a little lang?" Mu Qing squinted at her and bent his smiling eyes, "I don't know the little girl, but I look forward to a little girl, carefully raised, and can no longer be as rough as Yinghua." ”

"Qi Niang be quiet, don't mention Yinghua." Ah Liu glanced at the courtyard and raised his chin towards Ada, "Oh, he thought that Yinghua should go to Jinyang with the Li family lady this time, but who expected that he would still stay in Daxing City, this big war is imminent, he sighed for several days, if it wasn't for Ah Lang's repeated entrustment and not teaching him to leave Qi Niang, he would have hated to go to Daxing to help at this time." ”

Saying that, Ah Liu himself sighed, and lowered his voice a little, "Yinghua is also seventeen, it is said that she should have made a promise a long time ago, but she is still messing around in the barracks all day long, and her own mother is like that...... I won't pay attention to her things, you should be a sister for her, you should have ...... for her"

Before he finished speaking, there was a knock at the door, startling the two people in the main room who were lowering their eyes and whispering. Duzi ran briskly, opened a crack in the door, said a few words to the people outside, dropped the deadbolt again, and when he turned back, he had an extra post in his hand. (To be continued......)

ps: That's right, Li Jiancheng's main room is from the Xingyang Dashi clan, named Zheng Guanyin. Because the eldest grandson's queen is called Guanyin, it feels very similar and taboo. So the author made his own proposal and asked her to change her name to Zheng Guanying, everyone won't mind?
