Chapter 394: Tripartite Cooperation
The night was quiet, the red light flickered and jumped, and Lin Shu lay alone on the bed, listening to the beeping sound of the flames, and the sound of the snow hitting the lantern outside, regaining his memory little by little.
Gradually, the voices became quieter. She remembered the little boy in an advertisement in her previous life, whose eyes were as dark as stars sparkled with joy, and he held a piece of chocolate in his hand and said to the screen, "Mom, you eat it too!" ”
Chocolate. It's been a long time since I've tasted chocolate. Think of that soft, slippery, melt-in-your-mouth sweet taste that should be like a baby's breath.
It's also kind of like ....... Hehe, she smiled secretly, a bit like the taste of Jin Xiaoguang's lips.
In the past, she always resisted Jin Xiaoguang at the first time, but when his lips touched hers, there would immediately be a slippery and soft feeling that melted between her lips, and it was still sweet. She couldn't help but want to taste this taste deeply, and the aftertaste was endless, and it was addictive.
Mama Mei Lingqing is estimated to have fallen asleep, and it has been quiet outside for a long time, and there is no light footsteps at all. They repeatedly said that they wanted to keep a vigil, saying that it was a vigil on Chinese New Year's Eve that would bring good luck for the year. Lingqing, who is short and thin, also said that he would use the crack in the door to clamp his head when the East was white, saying that he could grow taller and fatter.
But this late night without any entertainment, where can it be kept. The night is so long, so long and boundless.
Another year has passed. The room was blazing with lights, and the charcoal fire in the stove was shining. She looked up at the lampstand overhead. The flames are blazing.
Grandma Mei said that it is best to let the oil lamp shine on Chinese New Year's Eve. She didn't go out, and looked at the bright white lights that filled the room with a faint red. Close your eyes slowly.
In a daze, he didn't seem to be asleep, and seemed to be asleep again. I don't know how long it took, but I felt that there seemed to be some kind of hairy animal around my ears, and I was startled. I woke up suddenly, felt it, and there was really something soft around me. Frightened, her heart tightened.
And then the creepy one, it can't be a poisonous snake or something, right? However, it was immediately denied, this was a winter poisonous snake hibernating, and it was not a cold cold-blooded animal.
I didn't have cats to feed dogs. What will it be? She tentatively opened her eyes slowly.
The lights were still so silvery white, beeping sounds, and the snow was still falling outside. The house was warm. ,
Could it be that I feel wrong? She held her breath for a moment. Immediately affirmed.
It was indeed a kind of soft breath that hit his face. And shaggy hair......
Don't?
She jerked her face away.
Jin Xiaoguang lay peacefully beside her, breathing evenly.
When did he come back? I'm sleeping next to me, so why don't I know anything about it?
She breathed steadily. Settle down and recover from the shock just now. Stretched out his hand to push Jin Xiaoguang awake. Ask him if this sneaky scary is trying to scare her to death. I saw that his hair was still wet, wet and sticking to his face. Never smooth skin looks a little rough and should be the result of wind and sun. The silhouette is as strong as ever, but it is soft and feminine.
The eyebrows are dark and thick, and the eyelashes are thick and dense. Sleeping like a big boy.
One of his hands was in front of her eyes, red and swollen, presumably frozen.
He must have rushed back, regardless of the heavy snow, day and night.
Because I didn't hear he would come back.
She reached out and rubbed his hands, still cold. I think I just came back.
She lay motionless obediently, gently reached out and touched her stomach, and felt a lot more at ease.
She wanted to let him sleep for a while, but unfortunately her stomach was too big, pressing her bladder, and she wanted to relieve herself when she woke up. She just moved her body slightly to get out of bed, and saw Jin Xiaoguang's eyes open.
It's profound.
She said apologetically, "Just came back, and I didn't say hello." Must be exhausted, sleep a little longer. It's convenient for me to go. ”
Seeing him was full of surprise, she originally thought that she would not see him before giving birth.
before slipping to the bed.
Jin Xiaoguang reached out and took her hand and said, "Slow down, be careful." ”
He sat up, watched her open the door and walked out, got out of bed and went to the window, and waited for her to come back. Picked her up and got back into bed, hugged her and said, "Why don't you use a clean bucket?" So cold outside? ”
Lin Shu meekly lay in his arms and said, "I'm not used to it, I always feel that it will taste." You don't know that I didn't sleep at night before. But since my belly is big, I have to go as long as I wake up at night. ”
Jin Xiaoguang put his still a little cold face close to her and said, "That's it, there is such a big child in the belly." ”
After speaking, he stroked Lin Zhu's round belly like a ball with his hand, and suddenly his hand stopped, and he said in surprise: "It's moved, why is he still moving?" ”
Fuss. It's been more than eight months, how can you not move.
Since five months on, Lin has felt his irregular movements every day.
She pursed her lips and smiled, "He's almost coming out, why don't he move." You know he kicks me every day. Looks like I'm in a hurry. It's a pity that I can't help no matter how anxious I am, and he can't get out before the time. ”
The corners of Jin Xiaoguang's mouth pulled up a smile full of tenderness and sweetness. With a gentle face, he put his face on Lin Zhu's big belly, listened for a while with a little rustiness and shyness, and said with a bright smile and innocently: "It's true." Zhu'er, hard work. ”
Hear him say this. Lin Zhu was suddenly very moved, and tears were about to come out.
Although she reminded herself every day that it was impossible to be with Jin Xiaoguang, although he was her son's father.
But after all, he is the child's father. His flesh and bones were conceived in her body, and his body temperature was preserved in her body.
She hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to be shy, wiped away her tears and said: "Pregnancy in October is naturally hard, but it is also a happy thing, you think about another month, he will come out and lie on the bed and cry, open his mouth to eat and drink, and will chase after my mother and mother in the future." I want to laugh just thinking about it...... I don't feel hard. ”
"By the way, didn't you say that the child didn't come back before he was born? Why did you come back? Are you back for the New Year? ”
The two are newlywed after a long absence! But it's not easy to do husband and wife things, talking head to head about children?. Lin Zhu suddenly remembered what Jin Xiaoguang said before leaving.
Jin Xiaoguang paused before saying, "I didn't plan to come back, but I happened to go back to the capital because of something." Drop by and have a look. ”
In fact, he has been back for three days, and this time he has important and confidential things to do. It is to be kept absolutely secret, so he is out of the night.
This secret matter is to bring my eldest brother Bao Zhen back to see my uncle Yan Junyan General. General Yan Junyan is the emperor's most personal guard, and he is also the head of the guard, the official general of the town hall, and is in charge of the eight thousand imperial guards. He also managed 300,000 forbidden troops in the capital.
General Yan held an important position and held military power. This is all because he followed his master's arrangement to follow Sima Nan when he was young. Saved his life several times. made great contributions to his overthrow of the previous dynasty and sitting on the throne of the emperor...... After Sima Nan became the emperor, he kept him by his side as a confidant. Although he is not the same as his brother-in-law Jin Kai, he has been knighted, and his status is not lower than him at all. Even more powerful than him, more connected than him. 、
Those powerful ministers and some things want to tie him up and climb his high branch.
It's just that he's low-key. Except for a few important ministers who have a little friendship. There was no one attached to him.
And he built his mansion in Tianmen Town. I don't usually go home.
Jin Xiaoguang? The father and son were suppressed by the emperor's suspicion and became more and more serious. When he could barely bear it, Jin Kaijia also repaired a book to him, asking him to say a few kind words in front of the saint.
The emperor sent Yan Tianwu to bring Shang Fang's sword to do it. When the minister was sent to Qin, Jin Xiaoguang personally came to the door and told the true intentions of the emperor's father and son.
General Yan didn't face each other head-on, but just said that since the emperor's decision made sense, it was just to do it.
Jin Xiaoguang's father and son couldn't guess what he meant, and they didn't dare to speculate.
He could only brainwash Yan Wuwu in private. Pull him over.
But he didn't think that a few days ago, Yan Jun Feige sent a letter to Jin Kaijia and asked Jin Xiaoguang to bring Bao Zhen to see him. It's serious.
Jin Xiaoguang and his son didn't know what his intentions were, and after discussing with Bao Zhen, they decided to go to Tianmen Town to meet Yan Jun for a while.
He recently became ill at home.
Yan Jun said in the letter, in fact, he already knew that Young Master Jin Zhen was Bao Zhen, and it was he who had been keeping it secret and disturbing the prince's judgment. And now I also know that the two are cooperating.
And make sure they are safe.
The condition is that it cannot be discovered.
Yan Jun's meaning is clear and he wants to help them.
After Jin Xiaoguang and Bao Zhen took safety precautions, they rushed back to Tianmen Town overnight. He originally thought that he would help dispel the suspicions of the emperor's father and son.
I also wanted to ask him to help the emperor not punish Brother Baozhen.
He had a little hope. I hope I don't bear the charge of treason.
But I didn't expect Yan Jun to talk about cooperation.
His conditions were simple. The inside should be combined with the outside, and the monarch should give way and divide the country equally.
This really surprised him, not only him, but also Bao Zhen.
It turned out that Yan Jun had already had the heart of rebellion, and had already identified their father and son as accomplices. In other words, Yan Jun has played a decisive role in all the decisions that the emperor has made to Dingyuan over the years.
Bao Zhen's mood is even more complicated, he still thinks that he has hidden it very deeply over the years, full of revenge, ready to take revenge. Unexpectedly, Yan Jun already knew his whereabouts well. It is also protected. Facing this accomplice of Sima Nan, he once again fell into the dilemma he had when he faced Jin Xiaoguang.
Jin Xiaoguang was also very uncomfortable in his heart, it was this uncle who seemed to be loyal to the monarch and defended the country, and he respected him very much since he was a child, who forced their father and son to Liangshan step by step.
If he didn't know what he had done in front of the emperor, the emperor's father and son would not have pressed forward like this.
But despite the indignation in my heart, I had to accept it.
Now he and Bao Zhen have no way out, they can only move forward.
Only tripartite cooperation is the safest and mutually beneficial. ,
After careful consideration and careful consideration, he and Bao Zhen accepted Yan Jun's conditions, and discussed the design to frame several old giants who had surrendered from the previous dynasty and were still officials.
Then he and Bao Zhen returned to train the sergeant together, waiting for the opportunity.
This greatest opportunity is when the crown prince succeeds to the throne.
Returning to the emperor who has been ill for a long time, knowing that his days in the world are short, he has ordered the crown prince to plan to give way to summon the book, and it is expected that the crown prince Sima Liangchen will be officially passed on in June.
Yan Jun decided that before the crown prince succeeded to the throne, he married his sister-in-law Yan Tianwu and his stepdaughter Yan Qiuyin. At that time, the marquis of the four major vassal states will personally come to the capital to congratulate and meet the new emperor, and he will choose this time to marry his son.
Then the Marquis of Dingyuan, as an uncle, had to come early to congratulate.
The three of them discussed the plan tonight and decided to rush back to Dingyuan overnight.
In the past few days, I heard that the crown prince was going to Dingyuan to inspect in person, and he knew that he was going to supervise and supervise his capture of the remnants of the previous dynasty, and by the way, he took a look at the war in Dingyuan.
He and Bao Zhen decided to go back and create a little chaos first, giving the prince a false impression that Dingyuan was still in danger and relaxed his vigilance.
Out of Yanfu, he really couldn't let go of Lin Shu in his heart, and wanted to come back to take a look.
Bao Zhen was also worried about his sister, and it was inconvenient for him to be together, so he asked him to come back and take a look. He himself wanted to see the newborn child, so he agreed to go back together tomorrow night. and asked him to bring a message to Lin Zhu to let her remember what she had said.
When he saw Lin Zhu, he didn't want to say anything.
I just want to look at her soft little face full of happiness. ,
Lin Zhu saw that he was silent and thought that he must be tired. It's still the middle of the night. Then he said, "If you are tired, you will sleep well for a while." Ming'er will make dumplings for you to eat in the morning. ”
Jin Xiaoguang turned around and hugged her in his arms and said, "Zhu'er, I have something important to do, it's not easy to show up, tomorrow morning, you only let Mother Mei come in to see me." ”
Lin Zhu agreed, covered him with the quilt and said, "Got it, go to sleep." ”
Jin Xiaoguang felt down-to-earth and warm, hugging Lin Zhu's soft body, and one hand was still on her bulging belly.
It wasn't until the firecrackers outside the door went off that Lin Shu opened his eyes and heard a gentle knock on the door outside. Then came a dexterous and weak voice: "Little lady, it's time to get up, you have to put on the incense today." Mama Mei said before the sun came out. ”
Lin Zhu turned his head to see that Jin Xiaoguang also opened his eyes, and said, "Lingqiao, you go and get busy with yours, just let Mama Mei come in and make incense with me, by the way, go tell the kitchen to make some leek mushroom dumplings." ”
Dexterity agreed and left.
Lin Zhu got up and stood in front of the window to watch Mama Mei come and open the door.
When Mama Mei came into the house, Lin Zhu walked out.
She thought that Jin Xiaoguang must have something to explain. When I went out, I saw Lingqing sweeping the snow with two little maids, and thought that Jin Xiaoguang didn't want people to know that he was back, so he said, "Leave a little snow in the yard, and we'll build a snowman in a while." Let's go outside, look at my little room, did you help me make a brazier? ”
Lingqing heard her say this, and saw that she went outside with a big belly, afraid of falling, so she hurriedly came over to help her, and also beckoned the little maid to follow.
When I walked out of the small courtyard, I saw that the six small houses were covered with snow, like big snowmen.
smiled and said to Lingqing: "What kind of snowman do you build, ready-made." Take a few carrots, a few quick black charcoals, and a few broken brooms to decorate and decorate. ”
Lingqing smiled and agreed. When the two came to the tomato house, Lin Zhugang wanted to reach out and open the door to see if the temperature was like and whether it could reach the standard.
I heard Mama Hu's loud voice outside: "Little lady, little lady, I'm here to pass the word." On the first day of the Lunar New Year, you go to the princess to pay New Year's greetings, this is the rule. (To be continued.) )
