In the near corner, after the originally bright sunlight suddenly disappeared from the clouds, the sky was silent, and even the air was a little damp. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yun Feihuang and Yun Qingran followed side by side behind the little guy, and when they walked through the verandah, he raised his eyes and looked at the sky. With such a scene, it is estimated that there will be a snowfall in the morning. It's just that I don't know when I will be dragged by Mrs. Zhongyuan Marquis when I go to Lantang Garden, I'm afraid I will have to eat at noon before I let it go.

Large families do not follow the rule of two meals a day, because they are afraid that they will be hungry and their bones will be damaged and their children will be delayed.

Yun Qingran glanced at his brother with his eyes, and seeing that he seemed to be in a trance, he suddenly asked, "Big brother, who are you going to save with Snow Lotus?" But in a hurry? It can't be my sister-in-law, right? ”

Hearing the question, Yun Shaohuang suddenly came back to his senses, and glared at him with an embarrassed face: "Your mouth is really unscrupulous, is this something that can be said at will!" However, this reminded him that now that Miss Jiang is seriously injured, although there is medicine prescribed by Lu to hang her anger, it is not a solution. He originally thought that when he came back this time, he only needed to ask the Marquis of Zhongyuan, at most he would be reprimanded by him, and half an hour would be enough, and he would not be able to delay anywhere. Who wants to be at home when the Marquis of Zhongyuan is not at home, the key to the treasury is only Mrs. Zhongyuanhou has a second one.

Thinking about this, he felt that he had come at the wrong time.

Yun Qingran smiled when she heard this, her fox eyes hooked slightly, her eyes were gorgeous, and her tone was very frivolous: "Big brother, you are all old, and now that the Western Xinjiang is quite calm, you don't need to lead the troops into battle, you should think about yourself!" This year, the emperor summoned you to Beijing, and the palace banquet must be set for you, and you can't escape if you want to. ”

Yun Shaohuang hooked his lips and looked at him, and said after learning from his appearance: "If you remember correctly, Qingran will also be a weak champion this year, right?" Hou Ye just thinks that he can have a good brother and daughter-in-law who can take care of you for him! Which of us should think about it, you weigh it yourself. After the words fell, he walked through the weeping flower gate and entered the atrium of Lantang Garden.

Yun Qingran was stunned for a moment, the smile on her face faded inch by inch, and she gritted her teeth and looked at his back. Okay, I haven't seen him for a few years, but his brother is capable, and he can block his words! It seems that it's not a good thing to be in the barracks for a long time, and all kinds of messy things have been learned!

He snorted coldly, even if the emperor and his father wanted to marry him, it would have to be seen if he was willing! To put it mildly, in this world, no one can force him Yun Qingran to do what he is not willing to do!

The arrogant young man put his hands behind his back, shook off the little guy, and swaggered into the door.

Today, Mrs. Marquis Zhongyuan happened to invite a group of friends from the boudoir to come to the house to discuss, after having a good breakfast, a group of people will enjoy the scenery and eat tea in the small pavilion in the middle of the lake in Lantang Garden, and when she heard the news of Yun Shaohuang's return to the house, Mrs. Marquis Zhongyuan was a little confused, and talked to her several times, all of which were absent-minded.

Mrs. Shangshu of the Criminal Department shook it in front of Mrs. Zhongyuan Marquis with a handkerchief, and after recalling her thoughts, she laughed suddenly: "If you want me to say, among our children, it is still Mrs. You are the most blessed!" She said with a smile, "Marquis Zhongyuan is wholeheartedly devoted to his wife, and he has a deep affection for flounder, and he is famous all over the world, not to mention the concubine, and he has never even raised an aunt." The two sons have their own merits. The eldest prince guarded the western frontier and made many contributions to Daqin, which can be described as an unlimited future. The second son is a detached and unworldly child, and he can't find the second one with a lantern in Daqin. Although there are some stubbornness, shouldn't young people be like this? What's more, I think that the second son is smart and outstanding, which shows that if the great wisdom is foolish, it may not be higher than the achievements of the eldest son in the future! ”

Mrs. Dali Siqing also smiled and nodded, "Yes, although the eldest prince is not in the Hou Mansion in recent years, his filial piety can be learned, whether it is a festival or a birthday, he has asked people to send congratulatory gifts all the way, it is this heart, and it is also touching!" ”

Several ladies nodded in unison, and praised in words.

Mrs. Zhongyuan Marquis lost Fang Cai's depressed look at this time, and laughed along, "That child is indeed very filial, even if the war is tight all these years, he will never forget my birthday...... That's why I feel indebted to him. Hou Ye's thoughts are not known to others, but a few of our good sisters can also see it. That kid has an idea, if it weren't for me, he wouldn't have moved out of another mansion at the age of sixteen, and even asked for his life to calm the Khitan, and he suffered so much in vain! ”

"After all, now that the war in Western Xinjiang has calmed down, maybe the eldest prince will have to live for a few years after he comes back this time. Didn't the emperor also instruct him on family affairs? Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry took her hand with relief, "A man marries a wife and has children, and after he has roots, he will not miss his home after slowly understanding your hard work." ”

Mrs. Zhongyuan Marquis felt much more comfortable, remembering that Marquis Zhongyuan was announced by the emperor into the palace this morning, maybe it was for this matter, so she said with some emotion: "Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, the young son who was only four years old has now grown up and made great achievements." Even Qingran is a weak champion this year! It's time to think about life......

Before she finished speaking, a little girl stepped forward and whispered, saying that the eldest son and the second son had arrived. She hurriedly straightened her appearance, and when several ladies saw it, they all pursed their lips and smiled.

Crossing the clusters of staghorn begonias in the courtyard, you can see two men with long statures walking away towards the lake pavilion one after the other. The first one was as bright as a jade tree, awe-inspiring, seven points majestic and three points domineering; The one in the back is brisk, graceful, shaking a fan as he walks, and his demeanor is leisurely. It can be identified from the behavior and demeanor, who is the eldest son of Yun and who is the second son of Yun.

Several ladies in the pavilion are used to seeing Yun Qingran's handsome and easy, but they have never seen Yun Shaohuang's majestic spirit. Even if he had seen it a few years earlier, he was still a child at that time, and he had never put on armor, so he naturally did not have the unique temperament that he had experienced in the barracks.

When I saw it at this time, I couldn't help but praise it. General Wei, who is like thunder in Great Qin, is really worthy of his reputation! This kind of courage alone is enough to make people imagine his sassy and heroic posture on the battlefield!

Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou watched from a distance, her eyes were slightly hot, and she blinked violently before forcing the wetness back. No longer caring about the honor, she hurriedly got up and went out.

Yun Shaohuang slowly approached, and saw Mrs. Zhongyuan, who had not seen her for many years, even if she lived in Houmen, where she had no worries about food and clothing, she could not hide the traces of the vicissitudes of time on her body. couldn't help but be touched in his heart, but the man didn't flick his tears, he endured it, smiled and stepped forward to salute, and shouted: "Mother." ”

Because of this sound, the tears that Mrs. Zhongyuan Marquis forced back flowed out instantly, and she pulled him up in a choked voice, answered twice, and looked carefully, "Good son...... If only you would come back! Look, it's all thinner, darker than when I was a child...... In the end, it's running around outside, it's not as good as ...... at home" Halfway through speaking, she picked up Juan Pa and covered her mouth, as if she was afraid and couldn't help crying.

"Mother, you can cry if you want to, there are all acquaintances here, who would laugh at it?" Yun Qing then walked over, folded the fan, and said with a smile, "If anyone dares to laugh at you, my son will beat him all over the ground for you!" ”

Mrs. Zhongyuan Marquis was angry and laughed, and finally "poofed" and looked at him angrily, "The bigger it is, the more unruly!" Now that your eldest brother is back, your father and I can't take care of you, so let Shaohuang take care of it! ”

Yun Qingran raised her eyebrows, "I can listen to the words of the eldest brother, but if you want to say it, you can't control it!" Who made you and Empress Dowager Yinci accustomed to me since childhood, and raising such a son is not my fault, right? ”

Mrs. Zhongyuan Marquis stretched out her hand and pinched him, and scolded: "You stinky boy! So it's the fault of Niang and the Empress Dowager Yinci? ”

Yun Qingran smiled and was about to answer, but she heard a group of people bustling in outside the courtyard, and she was a little surprised to see them. The current person is Du Feizhou, who looked at Yun Qingran from afar, and said with a smile: "Brother Qingran, we didn't come with us on purpose, Uncle Li said that my mother is also in the house, so let's just come to ask for peace." You see, it's called fate! Even if you hide your eldest brother well, won't you be shown to us again? ”

Yun Qingran immediately pursed her lips and looked at Yun Shaohuang, "Big brother, they like you so much, or you can give them a meeting gift." I've heard that you're very good at kung fu, so I guess they also want to be taught, so why don't you just fulfill their wishes? If you can fight with the Imperial Second Rank Guard General, it is estimated that they will wake up laughing when they dream! ”

When Mrs. Zhongyuan heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched, those are all pampered sons, even if they have some self-defense tricks, how can they be with Yun Shaohuang, who has been trained in the army? If she is missing an arm or a leg, how will she explain it to her sisters? Just as he was about to speak out to stop him, he heard Yun Shaohuang say lightly: "I also heard that my younger brother has invited many masters of the rivers and lakes to teach in the house over the years, and presumably the kung fu is not much worse, why don't I be the elder brother and give me some advice?" ”

Mrs. Zhongyuan Marquis glanced at Yun Qingran's deflated face, and smiled secretly in her heart, Yun Shaohuang has lived in the army for so long, and the barracks are a place where dragons and snakes are mixed.

Yun Qingran ate the second suffocation on his brother, and his mood suddenly became unbeautiful, ignoring Du Feizhou and the others who caught up, and walked towards Huxin Pavilion.

Du Feizhou touched his nose, and wisely didn't mess with him again, said hello to Mrs. Zhongyuan and Yun Shaohuang, and went to Huxin Pavilion to find his mother. The originally quiet Lake Center Pavilion became lively because of the arrival of a group of people.

Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou pulled Yun Shaohuang and said with a smile: "You haven't come back for so long, my mother has a lot to say to you." There are a lot of people over there, and it's too noisy. Let's go to my mother's room and talk about it. ”

It is indeed not appropriate for too many people to know about Xuelian's matter, Yun Shaohuang nodded, and followed Mrs. Zhongyuan into the main house.

The two maidservants made a charcoal stove in the room, and one offered hot tea, and the other closed the window, and withdrew.

I haven't been back for a long time, but it's still the same here, and it hasn't changed at all. Yun Shaohuang looked around the room, helped Mrs. Zhongyuan to the rosewood rose chaise longue, and moved a pear wood carved chair to sit beside her. In the flickering firelight, even the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were dyed with a bit of magnificent glazed luster, and in an instant, the handsome face was softened.

Mrs. Zhongyuan Marquis stared at him quietly, this son, she has seen less after he was sixteen years old, every time she handed a post to the general's mansion and asked him to come to the mansion for a family banquet, he was busy with official business. Later, he led the army to garrison Western Xinjiang, and there was only one letter exchange per month, and it was even more difficult to see each other.

Fortunately, she has often gone to the palace all these years, and the Empress Dowager Yinci also likes this eldest prince of the Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion very much, which made the emperor announce his return. If not, how could she see him again?

Marquis Zhongyuan is not unconcerned about him, although he doesn't like it on his face, but after all, he has been raised for so many years, and he also has feelings, he is by heart, even if he really cares, he will not say it. And she, I wish Yun Shaohuang would not be this general, and accompany her in the Hou Mansion all day long. She can't control the people of the world as a woman, as long as her son is safe and stable by her side! Now that Qingran is also older, he couldn't control him before, and he won't be able to control it in the future, maybe he will forget his mother when he has a daughter-in-law. But Yun Shaohuang is different, he respects her mother the most in his heart, and she can still understand this.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou sighed softly, looked at Yun Shaohuang with kind eyebrows, and said, "Child, you left home because of your father's relationship in the past, and even if your mother was reluctant, she couldn't peck anything. Now your dad doesn't have a problem with you. He also sees through it, even if there is no you, Qingran is what he should be, if he wants to be motivated, no matter how good you do, he can not be subservient. You have been with him since you were a child, you should know him, Qingran doesn't like deceit and disputes the most. Your father had already wanted to find a good errand for him in the court, but he was ruthlessly rejected by that kid! Ay...... Now that your father is getting old, and his body is getting worse day by day, this huge marquis mansion needs personal support to ......."

Yun Shaohuang groaned: "Mother, you also said that Qingran is not small, and she should be sensible." The conflict of interests in the world is not something he can hide if he wants to, he can hide from his father, he can't hide from the imperial power, and he can't hide from his identity as the son of the Zhongyuan Marquis. After all, now that my father is alone, I can still be chic for a few years, and I, as a brother, can still protect him for a while. It's just a mother, the western frontier is inseparable from the child, even if the child inherits the Hou Mansion, it is difficult to ensure that it will not be usurped by the side branch relatives. Don't you need to take care of it then? How can people in the world say that Qingran is also fake, don't I know about my mother and me? With Qingran's ability, even if he takes it out and compares it with the one in the East Palace, it is not a little worse! ”

"Of course my mother knows that none of the children raised by my mother are naturally bad!" Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou sighed, as if she had worked too hard in this matter, so that her face was a lot haggard, she waved her hand and said, "Hey, that's it, after all, you are all grown up now and have your own ideas." Fortunately, the gate of the Marquis of Zhongyuan's Mansion will not be easily destroyed in a hundred years, no matter which of the two of you inherits, my mother is happy to see it. Besides, no matter how anxious the mother is, she can't change anything. As soon as she spoke, she seemed to remember something, and asked with a bright look in her eyes, "Shaohuang, you are not too young, what kind of girl do you like outside?" ”

Yun Shaohuang didn't expect her to change the topic so quickly, she was stunned, and choked: "No ......"

Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou covered her handkerchief and smiled, and said with a radiant expression: "Look at my mother's confusion, the barracks are full of old men, and Western Xinjiang is a bitter cold place, how can there be a girl's house?" It's normal that you don't have a crush. In a few days, there will be a palace banquet, and the emperor will inevitably point out family affairs for you...... By the way, there are a few beautiful Danqing in Beijing here, I originally wanted to show Qingran, but now it's just right that you're here! As she spoke, half of her body had come down from the couch, trying to find the scroll, "They are all good girls who are jade and ice-clear, maybe there is something you like?" ”

Yun Shaohuang's body stiffened, and when he saw the enthusiastic appearance of Mrs. Zhongyuanhou, it seemed that he was going to force him to marry today, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him and said, "Mother, I still haven't said anything serious, don't be busy!" ”

As soon as she said this, Mrs. Zhongyuan remembered why this son came to the mansion today. So he raised his eyes to look at him, "Shaohuang, do you want the Tianshan Snow Lotus?" ”

Yun Shaohuang nodded and explained: "A few days ago, there were two ignorant people in the military camp who went to Yifangju to offend the children of the Gao family in Langyang, and the queen was furious and sent someone to beat him a few times. Originally, the people in the barracks were rough and thick-skinned, and minor injuries were fine. It's just that the weather has become worse and worse recently, although it is also cold in Western Xinjiang, but it is not such a cold method of human muscles and bones, and many brothers can't stand it, and they all get wind cold. The two of them were injured again, and they couldn't be cured by a few doses of medicine. The army doctor said that if he continued to burn like this, he would have to die! Although they did something wrong, they were always the children's subordinates, and it was also because of the children's lax discipline, how could they watch them die? So......"

After speaking, Yun Shaohuang secretly glanced at Mrs. Zhongyuanhou, and his heart sounded like a thunderous drum. He is used to being upright, and he has never told lies a few times since he was a child, except for occasionally carrying the black pot for Qingran. Now in front of his respected mother, he is inevitably a little ashamed.

Mrs. Zhongyuan Marquis didn't see his small movements, this matter spread throughout the capital, and she also heard about it, so she naturally believed Yun Shaohuang's words. This son has always been self-disciplined, he has never asked her for anything since he was a child, and it is rare to ask for anything today, of course she will not hesitate, and immediately called Aunt Yin, who was waiting outside, to come in, handed her the key to the treasury, and said, "Bring those two Tianshan Snow Lotus." ”

Aunt Yin is married from the family by Mrs. Zhongyuanhou, and she is the most trusted person of Mrs. Zhongyuanhou, at this time, she took the key, bowed to Yun Shaohuang without humility or arrogance, and said, "The eldest prince is well." The old slave hadn't seen his son for several years, and he didn't recognize him at first glance. The son is becoming more and more handsome, and he is both talented and beautiful, no wonder Mrs. is thinking about it every day! With that, she smiled and withdrew.

Yun Shaohuang was praised, even though he was majestic outside, he didn't feel a little red at this time.

Mrs. Zhongyuan Marquis also smiled, grabbed his hand and put it on her knee, and advised: "Outside the mother, you can't help you anything, everything depends on yourself, and you can only help in small things." This Gao and Lu families are not easy to mess with, although they are not trusted by the emperor in the Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion, but in the end, they are a century-old family, you don't want to offend them for anyone. There is also the crown prince of the East Palace and the struggle for the succession of several princes, now you have a different identity, you are not only the eldest prince of the Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion, but also the general Wei of the empire who is in charge of 100,000 troops and horses, which side will you stand on in the future, you have to keep your eyes open! She sighed, "Although my mother is in the boudoir, I also know that the court is dangerous." Not to mention...... Niang also heard that the prince Mu who did not go out of the gate was a scheming city, otherwise he would not have returned to Daqin, so that the emperor would be restrained everywhere, and he was also crowned a prince! You have been stationed in the western frontier all the year round, and it is understandable that you don't know about these filthy things in the court. In a word...... Don't go against the East Palace and King Mu's Mansion. Others, with your father and mother here, will be able to ensure that you are well ......"

"Mother......" Yun Shaohuang's eyes turned red, and he was very moved. With such a mother, what else can he ask for?

At this moment, the door was suddenly opened from the outside, and the cold wind suddenly poured in, and the flames in the charcoal stove were slightly extinguished. Yun Qingran put her hands behind her back, glanced at the warm atmosphere in the room, raised her eyebrows, and sat down at the table. He was followed by Aunt Yin, who went to fetch Snow Lotus, but she didn't hold anything in her hands. When she entered the house, she looked a little helpless and said, "Madam, eldest son." The old slave couldn't stop the son, and Xuelian was taken away by him halfway......"

Mrs. Zhongyuan Marquis waved her hand and motioned for Aunt Yin to retreat. When there were only three of them in the room, she glared at Yun Qingran and scolded angrily: "You stinky boy who is out of tune, why don't you return Xuelian to your eldest brother?" ”

Yun Qingran stretched out her hand from behind her, put the sandalwood box containing snow lotus on the table, poured a glass of water unhurriedly, and glanced at Yun Shaohuang leisurely, "Mother, it's time for you to finish talking to your eldest brother, right?" Then it's my son's turn! ”

Mrs. Zhongyuan Marquis was stunned when she heard this, and looked at him inexplicably, "Why, before you came to Lantang Garden, didn't you talk to Shaohuang?" Now the upside-down lady is here to rob people? ”

Yun Qingran shrugged her shoulders and said meaninglessly: "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, when my mother goes out, I will hand over Snow Lotus to my eldest brother." ”

Mrs. Zhongyuan Hou was speechless, glanced at Yun Shaohuang, and remembered that there were several of her good sisters waiting outside, so she had to sigh beside her: "Okay, okay, mother, let's go!" It's a big deal! If you don't learn from the good and learn the bad, you dare to drive your mother out......" Although she said this, her footsteps did not stop, and she looked back at Yun Shaohuang again, "Lunch and stay for it, my mother asked the kitchen to cook some favorite dishes for you." Don't say no! She frowned when she saw Yun Shaohuang, but she still agreed, so she opened the door with satisfaction, and walked towards the small pavilion in the middle of the lake with Aunt Yin in her arms.

Yun Shaohuang waited for Mrs. Zhongyuan Marquis to walk away, before he turned his eyes to stare at Yun Qingran, "What do you have to say?" ”

"It's okay to use your words to deceive my mother, but it won't work if you put it with me." Yun Qingran took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "If you don't say the reason, but you just tell a lie, then my brother and I will be a little curious!" Tell me, big brother, who are you going to save with these two snow lotuses? ”

Yun Shaohuang choked, he knew that Yun Qingran was smart, but he didn't expect to be so smart! I think he had overheard them outside, so he was suspicious of him. But this matter is not big, and it is not small to say! There are unidentified people mixed in the barracks, even if they are not bad people, if the emperor knows, something big will happen.

He has a good eye for people, although Brother Ye and Miss Jiang look suspicious, they are not people with bad intentions, of course he can't put them in danger!

But judging from today's situation, if Yun Qingran doesn't ask why, I'm afraid she won't give up!

He knows this younger brother, he is the kind of person who doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back, breaks the casserole and asks to the end, as long as he wants to know, then even if he tries hard, he must know.

Yun Shaohuang lowered his eyes, couldn't hide his helplessness, and sighed: "Earlier, a pair of brothers and sisters were rescued in the barracks, and the girl was seriously injured. "That's it, anyway, Yun Qingran is his younger brother, and he is not a person who will chew with others at will without knowing the importance of it, even if he tells the truth, it is nothing...... Let's do it!

Yun Qingran's eyebrows twisted, her eyes were cold, "Big brother, you are so confused, if something goes wrong with them, and the emperor will blame you at that time, how worried will my mother be about you?" ”

"I know." Yun Shaohuang smiled slightly, and said firmly, "You haven't seen them, it's not unusual to have such an idea." They're not bad people, you can rest assured. When I get the snow lotus back, Miss Jiang is in a little better health, and I will let them move to the General's Mansion, which will save a lot of trouble. ”

Yun Qingran nodded, finally stopped being verbose, pushed the box on the table in front of him, raised his glass and drank the tea.

The charcoal fire crackled, and the two did not talk again, and the room fell silent for a moment.

The sky floated with scattered snowflakes, broken jade, as if the catkins fluttered with the wind, slowly woven into a white net, the pavilions, flowers and trees are covered with a layer of crystal, the eyes are ice and snow, it is beautiful.
