Chapter 138: Chaos (I)
Chapter 138
Back and forth, the letter was sent urgently, the messenger ran fast, and before the tenth day, Changting received a letter from General Xiao Qin.
The weather in May, Heisei will have a summer atmosphere, Guangdetang in addition to the grass and trees, pruned other branches, and then changed the moon season to camellia, weeping willows by the lake, sometimes there are cicadas, and there are bursts.
Rong Xiyuan changed the blue silk, covered the door, Changting held a letter in his hand, and a half-big Langjun who was still covered with a coat knelt on one knee and knocked on the ground.
It was a letterhead drafted by General Xiao Qin, and there were only a few short crosses on a thin page.
The one who came back to deliver the letter was General Qin's eldest son and the nephew of General Xiao Qin, Ah Du.
Changting stretched out his hand, read it over and over, and didn't write anything in two sentences, only said that Hu Lu broke into Youzhou Gate restlessly, booby-trapped Lu Fan, and none of the six thousand generals survived.
I was afraid that I would be intercepted halfway and looked at by others, so I didn't write all the words on paper.
Knowing the result in his heart, and now seeing it with his own eyes, Changting still breathed a long sigh of relief.
It's like in a dream.
Changting curled his hand into his sleeve and pinched himself, and his eyes immediately turned red with pain.
Is Lu Fan really dead?
Really, really dead?
Won't it be seen again?
Is the grudge over?
Looking at the sunlight outside the window lattice, Changting felt dizzy in front of her, she wanted to yell, wanted to rush to Lu Xuan's grave immediately, and wanted to hug Changning and cry.
She imagined a hundred scenes she celebrated when Lu Fan died.
But I just didn't think that it would really be that time. She would sit in a chair with weak feet and a tired heart, not wanting to do anything, not wanting to say anything, as if her whole body was soft. It seems that the brain is very tired, as if it is so tired that I don't even want to open my eyes.
It's a pity, the pot of daughter red she prepared early in the morning.
She originally thought that chewing the news of Lu Fan's death and eating the pot of daughter red with Yu Niang must be the most wonderful moment in her life.
It's a pity, it's a pity.
The eldest princess of Zhending sat in front of the main hall, squinting and listening to the long pavilion. After hearing this, Fang called Qin to get up, and then called him to lean forward and help him dust off his robe. "Tired of all the way? The half-grown Xiao Langjun is also on an errand now. β
Ah Du's face turned red, and he didn't know how to answer.
Changting handed the letter to the eldest princess of Zhending, "Eldest mother, you can also take a look." β
The eldest princess shook her hand. "I don't look at it. Old and dizzy. β
Zhending was able to get up in the past few days, and after talking to Meng Tuo all night, Changting suddenly became enlightened, she couldn't be afraid to see Zhending, she didn't do anything wrong, Zhending also did nothing, separating the grievances between Lu Fan and Lu Xuan. I really should be as related to her.
After that, Changting served the sick every day. It was as if the grandparents had said nothing, and they seemed to have said everything.
One evening, Changting was holding the medicinal soup outside the hall to test the temperature, but he listened to Huang Yu talking with Zhending among the flowers.
ββ¦ Why do you bother? β
The old man coughed in a muffled voice, Huang Yu hurriedly went to stroke her back, the clothes were rustling, and her voice was hoarse in the quiet, and she said a word after a long time.
"I can't stand Ah Fei and Ah Fan anymore, I can't stand Gillian and Ah Ying anymore..."
Changting buried his head in the placket of his clothes, and a tear smashed into the potion.
Amitabha, I only hope that there will be no salty taste in the medicine that day.
It's really a serious illness, and when it's seriously ill, people can't recognize it clearly, but I just remember to call "A-Ning, A-Ning", and when I finally came to my senses, I called Changting to come over and whisper to her, "... The seals of the house are all in my bronze mirror box..."
took the ginseng and hung it, and then smoked it with moxibustion day by day, and finally survived.
But people are growing old alive.
It was as if the old tree withered all at once, and the leaves fell all at once.
A decision that has exhausted half a lifetime of strength, how can you not grow old?
Even if he sat in the light like this, the warm sun of early summer could not smooth the lines on Zhending's face, the old man squinted his eyes and turned his head to avoid the light, first raised his hand to signal Qin Du to sit down, and then said to Changting, "Now you have an idea about everything, you don't have to ask me anymore, if someone is really unreasonable, you don't even have to give him the last bit of face, it's a big deal to ask him to move out of Pingcheng." β
I must be very pleased with the chess hand that Changting played against the fifth uncle, does the daughter of the Lu family still need to worry about any reputation?
The Xie family is willing to marry, but his Lu family may not be able to marry.
In this world, who else has to be from who's home?
"You take charge of the family first, and when Changying comes back and marries a daughter-in-law, you will hand it over to the clan woman to take charge of the family, and the days will always pass. I'm old, I'm eating and living, and you are living and eating. β
Zhending's voice is long, and he speaks very lightly, as if he has penetrated the likes and dislikes of the world.
Hearing Zhending say this, Changting buried his head and carefully folded the letter into three folds and handed it to Man Xiu, then looked at Qin Du, picked up Zhending's words and asked, "Can you see Da Langjun?" β
Ah Du's face was red, and he nodded heavily, "See!" Uncle took me to Da Lang Jun kowtow, Da Lang Jun asked me to bring a message to the girl and the eldest princess, Da Lang Jun is rectifying the outfit, if fast, the end of May and the beginning of June can be done, if it is slow, it will only arrive home at the end of July, and you can come back to gather the Mid-Autumn Festival. β
Changting glanced at Zhending, and then asked Ah Du two sentences, then saw that Zhending seemed to be lacking, called his eyebrows lightly, closed the window and pulled the curtain, Changting greeted Qin Dufu Fu, Zhending eldest princess cheered up and asked Changting to send Qin Du in person, "Let Ah Du go back and rest for a while, and then you will send out his obituary at night, and then bury the mourning hall after the coffin is transported back, whether to be buried in the cemetery or buried elsewhere, whether to sing the scriptures or not to swing the spirit, it is up to you and A Yingding." The words were put on hold for a moment, "I... I don't care. β
Changting didn't look away, and answered yes.
"Da Lang-kun is in a wheelchair..."
As soon as he left the Rongxi Courtyard, Qin Du opened his mouth and said in a muffled voice, "Uncle asked me not to say this in front of the eldest princess, and only let me tell you quietly, you should be prepared." β
Predictable.
Changting sighed for a long time, she secretly asked Meng Tuo to inquire about the injured leg that had been frozen in the snow, but what each Lang Zhong said was different, but it all boiled down to one meaning. Take your time, don't rush.
That means it's not getting better these days.
Yu Niang cried fiercely, hugging Ah Ning and singing about the bitter life of their sisters. A-Ning also cried, and didn't dare to let go of his voice and cry loudly, he only dared to cry in the bed, crying and crying and falling asleep, crying and crying, Changting and Yu Niang exchanged for a day, and slept for a while with Changning in his arms. Only then did he correct the problem of Changning's crying at night.
When she didn't see Lu Fan's coffin, she didn't dare to leak in front of the eldest princess Zhending.
They felt a pity, but Changting didn't.
Trade a pair of legs for a life. Earn it properly.
It is up to man to learn to be content.
Can't go?
What's wrong if you can't go, is it rare for the Lu family to go to the court of the Great Jin Dynasty?
Changting bowed his head lightly, and in turn reassured Qin Du, "You and General Xiao Qin don't panic." If you take care of it, you will always be conscious. My brother has carried his life over, and he won't fold it here. β
Hearing Changting say this, Qin Du grinned and showed a little tiger tooth smile, "Yes, Da Langjun has come back to life, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to walk the road?" After thinking about it, he took out something wrapped in red cloth from his bosom, carefully opened it and presented it to the pavilion, "... Lu Fan fell off a cliff and died. On the second day, when I searched the mountain, I found this from his corpse, and my uncle also told me not to take it to the eldest princess. It's up to you to keep it or lose it. β
Changting glanced at the broken Bai Yujue, and his expression was indisputable, "Keep it." When the news was announced, he sent it to his uncle, and everyone was dead, so I just kept a thought. β
Qin Du replied yes.
said a lot along the way, both of them were filial piety, Qin Du said, "... As soon as Da Lang Jun came back, he took off his military uniform to serve his father well, and his father left in a hurry, and he also lost his father's dagger to his body when Da Lang Jun escaped. β
Qin Du and Changting are close in age, and they grew up together since they were children, and they did a lot of things when they were young.
Changting seemed to see in him the self that had grown up overnight.
Changting took a shortcut to send him to the second gate, but bumped into Meng Tuo head-on, and when he saw Meng Tuo, Qin Du happily greeted Meng Tuo with a fist, Meng Tuo patted Qin Tuo's shoulder and said nothing.
Qin blocked the second gate, the long pavilion couldn't get out, but Meng Tuo could get in.
Changting looked at him stunned, and Meng Tuo stretched out his hand, "Manager Bai invited me to go into the Water Light Pavilion to agree on the gift book to bring to the Shi family." β
Oh, it can be regarded as an explanation that people are coming to the second door this time.
Shuiguangxie and Rongxi Courtyard are both in the north, Meng Tuo walks in front, and Changting walks behind, with an interval of three steps.
"It's better to take out General Xiao Qin's documents and letterhead as soon as possible so that people can see them."
Meng Tuo's pace gradually slowed down, "One to ten, ten to hundred, first settle the matter, and your heart is half over." β
The long pavilion invisibly quickened its pace, and in a short time it was comparable to that of Meng Tuo, the verandah was as long, the fence was gathered in the weeds in the corner, and the starry spring flowers looked up in shame.
"Hmm. My mother asked me to send an obituary at night, I thought to myself, as soon as the obituary came out, the entire Lu family would still have a mess, it was better to take advantage of the fact that my brother did not come back, and the water of the Lu family would be muddy. When there are many fish, the net will go down, and none of them will be able to escape. β
Changting looked forward, his high shirt hung on the clogs, and the jade pendant pressed the skirt, walking very steadily step by step, "Ah Tuo, my brother is afraid that he will have to return to Pingcheng in a wheelchair." β
Changting looked back and sighed, "I have to build up the situation before my brother comes back, and the situation is under control. β
"If Lu Changying wants to rely on you to control the situation, I'm afraid he won't have to go back to peace. Don't treat everyone else as A-Ning, protect them one by one, can you protect them? Changning is still young, so he naturally entrusts it to you, but Lu Changying is more like Lu Gong than you. β
Meng Tuo said it very tactfully.
Changting didn't think it sounded right.
So is she an old mother?
Seeing that Changting had not spoken for a long time, Meng Tuo stopped at his feet, and then said, "If you are really not at ease, I will take my people and horses to send Lu Changying back." β
Meng Tuoqi never made a wish lightly, and if he dared to make this wish, he made a decision to become benevolent if he did not succeed.
"As soon as you leave, I panic even more..."
As soon as the first six words fell, Changting quickly raised his head and raised his voice, "General Xiao Qin is still staying, Shi Meng will probably send Shi Min to send it, if you go, you will make a wedding dress for Shi Min." As long as you hide your brother's news to the death, even if your brother comes back alone, it will be fine. It's just that if a little rumor leaks out, even if my brother has thousands of guards, he can't beat a person with a heart! β
In the latter words, Changting said in a hurry and quickly, and after he finished speaking, he pretended to be brisk and said, "Besides, what do you deserve alone!" Guan Gongdu is just a leader, and he hasn't seen him fight against a thousand! β
Why did you talk about Guan Gong...
Meng Tuo was stunned for a moment, and then raised his feet and walked forward with the long pavilion.
As soon as the words were interrupted, both of them fell silent.
The sun was very good in late spring and early summer, and the bluestone slabs inlaid in the verandah were half oblique and half light and half dark, and the long pavilion walked under the warm sun, and Meng Tuo followed her quietly.
"Waitβ"
"Waitβ"
Both spoke at the same time.
Changting smiled, "You can speak first." (To be continued......)
