(008), Shangxing Anyuan
The gray carriage dimmered the light in the carriage a lot, and Lin Shan only lifted half of the curtain of the carriage, but a few rays of light made the tired face of the middle-aged woman in the carriage clear. However, although she was tired, when she held the baby in her arms, she was still gently shaking, and her mouth was also gently humming a soothing hypnotic nursery rhyme, and there was no tiredness in her voice, only softness.
She cared for the baby in her arms like a mother, but she was not the child's mother, she was just a servant of the child's mother.
When the woman heard Lin Shan's voice, she raised her head and smiled, "Don't worry too much, Childe, this child is just hungry." ”
Lin Shan soothed his eyebrows when he heard this, and said, "I see, I'm afraid that it will be a bump on the road and hurt somewhere." ”
As soon as he said this, the groom sitting on the board couldn't help but quip: "Childe, the phrase 'a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts' is apt to describe you now." I Ma'an can't do anything else, but I dare to leave a big talk in the car, that is, put a piece of tofu on the bare board in this car, and I'm Ma'an will drive from Kyoto to Nanxia, and it will be delivered as it is, don't believe you ask Aunt Li. ”
The woman he called Aunt Li smiled and nodded.
Lin Shan knew what he said at this time, and he just wanted to comfort everyone's heartstrings that had been tense all the way out of Kyoto. He was grateful to Ma'an in his heart, so he let him go. After Ma An finished, he smiled and said, "You, you, I was also sitting in the car just now, how could I not know?" But if you care, it's messy. ”
He looked at the baby again, stretched out his fingers and rubbed his forehead, and wondered, "Why are you hungry so soon?" I only fed the soup two hours ago. ”
Aunt Li said gently: "This baby's stomach is weaker than that of adults, so the food they eat is soft and easy to digest, so they are naturally not hungry." ”
Lin Shan nodded after hearing her explanation, and muttered, "Aunt Li is still in charge of taking care of the children." ”
Ma An on the side smiled and said: "This taking care of the child is originally a woman's business, if the son is even familiar with this, wouldn't it be too weird." ”
He originally wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but unexpectedly he unknowingly reached a taboo. Seeing Aunt Li, she sighed softly and said, "The child is still so young, when she should be in her mother's arms, how can a poor woman be good at taking care of the child, and how can she be able to take care of her mother?" ”
Lin Shan's eyes also flashed a touch of gloom, he lowered his eyebrows, brushed the different color, and said calmly: "I did my best, but I only saved this child, and in the future, I will definitely not let her suffer and starve like today, in order to comfort the soul of my sister-in-law." It's just that I didn't expect that taking care of children is so complicated, I never thought about it before, and now I feel at a loss and difficult to find a clue. ”
Aunt Li was stunned when she heard this: "Son, don't worry, just leave the matter of taking care of the children to the poor woman." ”
Lin Shan shook his head and said, "The two of you have been dragged down on the way out of Kyoto, how can I involve you for the rest of your life because of my private affairs?" When you have settled down in your lodgings, go into hiding. ”
"Childe can't!" Ma An on the side said loudly when he heard this: "Do you think that Miss's matter is just your private matter?" Miss has been kind to us in the past, although we don't expect to be commensurate with Miss's family, but this kindness can't be repaid, Miss is gone, we will serve Miss's children. ”
Aunt Li also nodded silently with slightly wet eyes.
Lin Shan fell into silence, for a long time, he took a deep breath, and then said calmly after slowly exhaling: "So let it be you." ”
Aunt Li and Ma An both had a sad smile on their faces when they heard this.
But they didn't laugh for long, when they heard Lin Shan suddenly knock on the wheel, and said solemnly: "It's just that your identities will be changed in the future, and don't pretend to be inferior anymore." We deal with each other as equals, and when the child can talk and remember, Aunt Li will consider herself the child's aunt, and Ma An will consider herself the child's uncle. ”
Ma An couldn't calm down when he heard this, and he said in a somewhat anxious tone: "How can this be done?" She's a princess, and we can't get past it. ”
Lin Shan's eyebrows furrowed, and he said quietly: "This time out of Beijing, I can live safely in the future." There is a place for that person in the palace, and I definitely will not let her go back to that kind of snake den and wolf's den. Live well, I believe this is what my sister wants to see. ”
Ma An also understood a little when he heard him say this, although there was still some injustice in his heart, but he was silent.
But seeing a trace of worry between Aunt Li's eyebrows, she said slowly: "Isn't the son going to be like this for a lifetime?" and does not bury the talents of the son's auxiliary country, if the emperor in the palace knows the meaning of the son, it is estimated that he will not agree. If there is no emperor's favoritism, I am afraid that the traces of this child will not be able to hide the great nobleman in **. ”
Lin Shan sneered and said: "How can I be the only one in the world, Lin Anyuan, and now that the emperor has the world, I am afraid that I will not be able to find another wise man?" Besides, my character, in the early years, I was quite happy to travel in the mountains and countryside with His Majesty, and I was tired after only half a year of making a living in the palace, so I didn't need to mention this matter anymore. As for that woman, with her identity as a **, if I don't want her to know, she will never want to know for the rest of her life. ”
When he was done, he left the carriage and walked slowly towards the reed banks of the dry lake behind him. Ma An tilted his head and saw the slight look of annoyance in his eyes, so he didn't follow.
The mental tension and the spiritual pain are superimposed, and it is the most painful. After a few days of running, Lin Shan felt quite tired, coupled with the swaying of the carriage, his heart already had a boredom churning. Approaching the reed beach, I took a few deep breaths in a row, smelling the green breath of the young reed seedlings in the decayed reeds, and the churning turbidity between my chest and abdomen calmed down a little.
At this moment, a shout suddenly came from not far away, causing Lin Shan to look sideways.
"Lin Anyuan! Brother An Yuan is really you, wait for the foolish brother! ”
About a hundred feet away, one person and one rode in the dust. Lin Shan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he immediately opened them, and shouted with some excitement: "Brother Shang Xing!" ”
The person who came was Xue Zhong, the Kyoto garrison envoy who originally obeyed the holy order and went to Nanxia for half a year to eat fasting.
Xue Zhong's word is still good, Lin Shan's word is Anyuan, the two met on the day of the breaking of the city, but they hit it off at first sight, although the two are not brothers, they have always called each other affectionately. This time, Lin Shan quietly went out of the city with the young daughter of the Heavenly Family, and Xue Zhong was not ignorant of the inside story. And Xue Zhong walked halfway and suddenly took his subordinate Jin Lingma, who wanted to travel alone to the famous sites of Nanxia, but in fact he came to find Lin Shan, fortunately, he was lucky.
Xue Zhong rode a horse to Lin Shan's vicinity and jumped off the horse, Lin Shan saw that he was walking a little strangely, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Shang Xing, what's wrong?" ”
Xue Zhong smiled and said, "It's nothing, just press the horse corpse, and you should make some price for the bitter meat plan, it's not so difficult to convince." He then briefly mentioned what happened that night in Kyoto, and at the end, he couldn't help but feign anger: "You are really, just for a groom, tossing so much effort, the new wall in Kyoto that has only been built for half a year has also been dug out by you A big hole, I gave up my horse for you." ”
Lin Shan's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he asked in a low voice, "No one knows, right?" ”
Xue Zhong said angrily: "Of course not, if there is, I will not come alone now, but with a group of people to arrest you." ”
Lin Shan smiled, and then said lightly: "I am also helpless, it is so easy to leave Beijing, what will others say about His Majesty in private?" I have to cover up, and without a good groom, how can I get there with a baby? If something goes wrong along the way, I can't do anything about it. ”
Xue Zhong hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Come on, I'm not enough to be your subordinate than eloquence, don't do this." ”
Lin Shan had no choice but to smile when he heard this, and the two talked for a while, and they understood each other's experiences after that night in Kyoto. Lin Shan's side is very simple, in addition to rushing or rushing, Xue Zhong's side is also okay, it is actually enjoyed if he is convicted, and everyone tells each other to be safe.
Xue Zhong took a breath, glanced back at the carriage that stopped not far away, and then said, "What are your plans in the future?" Living a life with a rootless child? ”
Lin Shan stood with his hands tied, looked at a withered reed leaf swaying in the wind in front of him, and said slowly: "With me, she can have roots and a home." He paused, and without waiting for Xue Zhong to speak, he took a step forward and said, "You, why don't you stay in Kyoto?" With such a way to play, there are not many credible and usable people around you, so you should stay and help him. ”
"You're not going to come back, what's the point if I leave for half a year?" Xue Zhong complained, then sighed, and continued: "Although I asked to leave Beijing this time, His Majesty agreed quickly, and then I thought about it carefully, it is estimated that His Majesty has made a plan in his heart to carry out a purge of some people in the imperial court." ”
Xue Zhong smiled a little self-deprecatingly here, and then said, "You know, I can be promoted to the garrison of Kyoto, which is a reward from His Majesty. In fact, my talents are limited or even poor, and my brain is not as fast as yours. His Majesty left me at this time, I am afraid that it is also for my sake, and at this time, I really shouldn't have to force myself to stay in Beijing. ”
Lin Shan smiled again, and nodded after a long time: "You are so reasonable, presumably it is not as simple as eating fast for Your Majesty to let you go to Nanxia." Nankyo is not far from Kyoto, so you can return to Kyoto at any time. If you watch from a short distance, it can also cause some psychological pressure on some people in Kyoto, and it will be difficult for Kyoto to drag you into the water no matter how you come. He sighed lightly when he came here and said, "Your Majesty still cares about the old feelings so much." ”
