Chapter 400~401 Promise

"You're back? Come and warm up with a cup of hot tea. Jiang Yu was about to get up and serve tea.

Huo Jiujiu hurriedly walked two or three steps to the front and helped her sit down on a circle chair with a thick mattress, acting cautiously for fear that she would bump into it.

"I don't want you to serve me for tea, it's good for me to rest and don't feel uncomfortable."

Wen Dajiahui smiled: "Look at her, she was born to be an active monkey, can she really stop?" The woman next to her had never seen such a spirited woman even if she was pregnant, and the more she was so different, the more he liked it.

It's a pity that after accepting Huo Shijiu's help, although he is expected to be reset, he is getting farther and farther away from her. Even if he was able to be ruthless in the past to win people's love, now he can't do it in the face of Huo Jiujiu who helps him like this, not only because Jiang Yu will not like it, but most importantly, because he will feel unbearable in his conscience.

Huo Shijiu seemed to understand what Wen Dajiahui was thinking, and took his words with a smile: "She is so lively, this baby must give birth to a lively boy." ”

"Do you still want your son?" Jiang Yu didn't follow, caressed her stomach and looked up at him, and there was a sparkle in her eyes.

In fact, she was looking forward to a daughter, and she also had some premonitions, thinking that it would be a daughter. She didn't know if other mothers had the same kind of sixth sense as her, which couldn't be explained.

Seeing that she was unhappy, Huo Shijiu hurriedly and anxiously explained: "No, no, of course boys and girls are the same, as long as you are safe, all daughters and daughters are fine." ”

Seeing that his anxious face turned white, Jiang Yu also felt that she was a little unreasonable, and people just made a bold assumption, not that they had to want a son.

It seems that it is indeed easy to be irrational when you are pregnant.

Jiang Yu couldn't help laughing.

Huo Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did I feel that sweat was already leaking from my forehead. took off his robe and handed it to Sakurayuki, who was serving on the side. looked at the brass beast foot heater burning on the ground, although he felt that it was hot, but considering that Jiang Yu might be cold, he didn't speak.

Wen Da Jiahui watched the play for so long, and felt that it was actually very interesting to just watch them get along.

Huo Jiujiu sat next to her, took a sip of tea, and said to Wen Dajiahui: "I talked with the emperor all day today, although I didn't get a good deal. But there are also eight or nine points. The emperor meant that I would make a charter with you and talk to him later. ”

Wen Dajiahui bowed his head, hugged his fists and said, "Work for you." Great grace is not grateful. ”

"Don't be so polite. If you really say great kindness, how can we repay you for your kindness to my Huo family? Huo Shijiu looked at Wenda Jiahui, his eyes were full of sincerity.

Wen Dajiahui said: "Okay, there are contacts between you and me, and it can be regarded as a settlement." My Jin Guonan doesn't have so many fancy intestines, and I remember your sincere help. It will be rewarded in the future. ”

What he admires is his temperament of having one saying and two saying two things. It is precisely because he is such a frank person that Huo Shijiu did not hate him deeply.

Jiang Yu saw that the two of them seemed to have serious things to say, so she didn't bother much. Slowly stood up and said, "I'll go and tell the cook to prepare wine and food." You'll talk while you're eating. ”

Huo Shijiu said: "Tell them to go, don't be tired, just rest." ”

"I'll see you later at dinner." Jiang Yu bowed her head to Wen Dajiahui, and left the flower hall under the service of Ying Xue and Tingyu.

Under the porch, he ordered someone to go to the small kitchen to prepare dinner, and asked, "My father and second brother shouldn't have eaten at this hour, right?" When you're ready, remember to send them some too. ”

"Got it, ma'am." Listening to the rain said: "I'll go and tell me to go down, and Sakura Xue will help Mrs. to rest for a while." ”

Sakura Xue said yes, so she served Jiang Yu and went into the house.

During dinner, Jiang Yu accompanied her to eat, and then consciously went back to the bedroom to rest. Huo Shijiu and Wen Da Jiahui talked about it in the middle of the night.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That being the case, let's decide it for the time being, and when you go back to the palace, you will talk to your emperor, and it will not be too late to discuss. I have another matter to discuss with you. After talking about serious matters, Wen Dajiahui coughed, and said in a low voice that seemed to be a little uncomfortable: "I'll ask you personally." ”

Huo Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then said considerately: "Who does Your Majesty want to use, just open your mouth, although I am not talented, I still have some cronies available." ”

Wen Dajiahui smiled and said: "I received your wishes, but I didn't want to use anyone, but my secret guard fell in love with a girl in your house." ”

Huo Shijiu suddenly realized, it turned out that Wen Dajiahui was talking about Namu watching and listening to the rain. He has long seen the thoughts of their little children, but because he can be regarded as a woman, it is not good to ask the man to marry him for the sake of listening to the rain, right?

What he was waiting for was that the other party spoke first, but he didn't expect Namu to come and say, but Wenda Jiahui said it for him. It seems that Wen Dajiahui values Namu very much.

Huo Shijiu didn't directly break it, and pretended not to understand: "I don't know which one Your Majesty is talking about?" Let's hear it, if you haven't allowed someone yet, I'll go and talk to you. You also know that everything in this inner house is up to the concubine. ”

Wen Da Jiahui also knew that this matter should actually go to Jiang Fei, but after all, he had a special affection for Jiang Wei Huo Jiu knew it, if he directly found Jiang Wei, it seemed that he was going through her door, but it made Huo Jiujiu think more, so he asked Huo Jiu in person.

"Very good, my secret guard, you know, Namu. He was cultivated by me, bought in at a young age, practiced and taught secretly, and is now my right-hand man, very loyal and trustworthy, and I can guarantee my character. As for what he liked, it was the maid next to Jiang Yan, the one with a beautiful mole between her eyebrows. Wen Dajiahui didn't remember the girl's name for a while.

"It turned out to be listening to the rain." Huo Nineteen's head.

Wen Dajiahui said: "Yes, it's her." I don't know if she has promised others? ”

"She's not a child." Huo Shijiu replied ambiguously, and then said: "That's it, it's late today, and the girl has already fallen asleep, I'll ask her tomorrow and give you a letter." ”

"That's fine." Wen Dajiahui happily agreed, after all, he was asking for Jiang Yan's maid for Namu, but he was not in a hurry to rob the kiss with a white face. The host said to wait. Of course, you'll have to wait.

Huo Nineteen said goodbye to Namu. One went back to the bedroom, and the other went back to the guest house.

Jiang Yu was sleeping soundly at this time, and when she heard Huo Shijiu's movement, she just squinted at him, and it was not certain whether she was really awake or not.

After Wen Dajiahui and Namu returned to the Academy of Sciences, they said: "I have helped you to speak, let's listen to the news tomorrow." ”

Namu's face was flushed with shame, thanks to the light at night and his dark skin. I couldn't see his face, knelt down and saluted, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

There was nothing to say all night, and when Jiang Yu slept until she woke up naturally the next day, she was surprised to find that Huo Shijiu did not go to the outer courtyard, but was still sleeping next to her.

It seems that he talked to Wen Dajiahui very late yesterday and was tired.

Jiang Yan's mattress is special, because now her belly is getting bigger and bigger, and the ordinary mattress is uneven, and the mattress she uses now is still specially made for her by the Tang family when she was pregnant with Huo Chong. The kind with a concave middle is just right, with just the right angle and arc.

She rolled over slightly. Just looked at Huo Nineteen's sleeping face.

Huo Shijiu's sleeping face was very ambitious, as if he had dreamed of something good, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, evoking a playful arc.

Of course, if you ignore the faint lines on his forehead and the two strands of gray hair on his temples due to the long-term frowning, he looks like an eighteen or nineteen-year-old child.

Jiang Wei stretched out her hand and gently brushed the faint green stubble on her chin.

Unexpectedly, he grabbed her hand, squinted, and said sleepily: "I know that the stupid girl has been staring at me." ”

Jiang Yu'er, her voice was a little hoarse when she first woke up: "I also know that you are about to wake up." ”

"How do you know?" Huo Jiujiu rolled over, put his arm around her shoulder, and landed a kiss on her forehead. He habitually rubbed the stubble on his chin against her soft cheeks and neck.

Jiang Yan couldn't stand the itch the most, smiled and dodged, and was kissed by him several times before giving up.

Jiang Yan said unsteadily: "Didn't you listen to your breathing messed up?" What time did you sleep yesterday? ”

"I didn't go to bed until the hour was over."

"How's the conversation with Da Ying?"

"Almost, this time I think the emperor will definitely agree, but I don't want to go to the palace to talk to the emperor right away, lest the emperor think that we have a premeditated plan. In the past, the efficiency of negotiations with the country of gold was just half increased. ”

Jiang Yu leaned on his shoulder blades, and her voice was soft and soft: "You are familiar with these things, as long as you pay attention to it, don't arouse the emperor's suspicion." Now is the time when he is most sensitive and suspicious. ”

Huo Jiujiu touched her head and said, "I know that it will be premised on self-preservation." Realizing that the topic was too heavy, Huo Shijiu smiled and changed his words: "Last night, Daying and I discussed and listened to the rain for Namu's marriage. ”

"Oh?" Originally, Huo Shijiu's arms were too comfortable, she was about to fall asleep again, and when she heard the words, she suddenly became energetic, her elbows supported her body and she half-got up, and her long hair slipped down behind her and spread on the pillow: "It's really strange, I thought Namu couldn't stand it, and he would come and beg me for someone in person." I don't think Dar Eagle attaches such importance to Namu. ”

"yes. So are you going to release them? ”

Jiang Yu said with a smile: "I have observed these days, Namu has shown favor to Tingyu several times, helped her do this and that, and gave small gifts, and always made some oolongs, such as the last time I gave a candy man, and I didn't pay attention to it and fell to the ground." I saw that the rain was angry and funny, but not annoying. ”

"That is to say, listening to the rain is also a little bit in love with Namu."

"It should be. However, the girl's family is thin-skinned, so she still wants me to open my mouth to test the temptation first. ”

As Jiang Yu spoke, her eyes were filled with brilliance, as if she had stopped for a while and suddenly found a toy. Huo Jiujiu couldn't help laughing when he heard her say such an old man.

"It seems like how old you are, aren't you also a girl?" After all, she is younger than listening to the rain.

Jiang Yu waved her hand: "That's different, I'm the mother of two children." He patted his stomach gently.

As if in solidarity with Jiang Wei, the little guy in his stomach also responded by kicking the place where Jiang Wei had touched. Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and put his hand on her stomach, "Look, this kid is so smart, as smart as Chong'er!" ”

Huo Nineteen moved his big hand, and there was a little guy inside who touched his hand through his stomach.

Such a wonderful feeling, although he experienced it once, Huo Shijiu couldn't help but be moved and happy.

A dignified man, no matter how big things are, he didn't cry, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist at this time: "Girl." Thank you very much. ”

"Thanks."

"If it weren't for you. I don't know what kind of life I'm living now. Thank you for accepting me and accepting my life. Thank you for raising my children. ”

Jiang Yu was very moved in her heart, because in this era and this society, it is really not easy for a man to say such emotional words in front of a woman, and still hold a grateful heart. He thanked her, and why didn't she thank him?

Jiang Wei was not good at saying those emotional words, and said with a grin: "It's not." I also have to thank you, this kid is our partner, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have a son. ”

Huo 19: "......"

The atmosphere that was originally sensational was dissipated at once.

"Silly girl!" Gently pinching her cheek, Huo Jiu said, "I'm going to get up now, I still have some things to do, you can sleep for a while." ”

"I got up too. I slept enough last night. Yesterday may have let go of the things hanging in my heart, who is exceptionally good. ”

Huo Jiujiu helped Jiang Yu to get up, and raised his voice to call people to come in to serve and wash.

After the two of them were sorted out. After having breakfast together, Huo Shijiu went to the outer courtyard to greet Jiang Xuewen. I'm going to get down to business.

Jiang Yu listened to the rain and took a walk in the yard wearing a light and warm black fox fur.

Tingyu wore a dark green pinching tooth armor, and a stone blue coat covered with muslin, and the plain color made her pale grease powder look particularly beautiful.

Jiang Yu held the small hand stove in one hand and the hand listening to the rain in the other, and couldn't help but look at her carefully as she walked, and the more she felt that Namu's kid was really discerning!

Namu is a native of Jinguo, and she is afraid that she will go to Jinguo when she marries him, and she is really reluctant.

"Listen to the rain."

"Ma'am?"

Listening to the rain has long been looked at by Jiang Yu's hair, if she doesn't open her mouth after watching it, she feels that she won't be able to walk.

Jiang Yu saw that she was uncomfortable, and the girl's family was very sensitive, so she didn't procrastinate, and said straightforwardly: "What do you think of Namu's person?" ”

Listening to the rain, where did she want to get Jiang Yu to ask this, she was stunned for a moment, and then her face turned red, her tongue didn't seem to obey, and she squeezed out a sentence after a while: "No, I don't think so." ”

"Don't you think so?" Jiang Yu nodded, and while walking, she said lightly: "Also, that kid is born tall and big, not as delicate as Yan Guonan, and a little stupid, send an earring and throw one, send a hot person to the ground, help you get a water can fall." Such a stupid person, I don't worry about teaching you to him. ”

Listening to the rain shaking her head again and again when Jiang Yu spoke, every time she said the same, she shook her head, as if she wanted to be in a hurry to argue for Namu, but she didn't want to disobey her master's will.

In the end, Namu became a fool in Jiang Yan's mouth, she felt that she was deflated all of a sudden, and lowered her head and said, "Yes." ”

Be?

Jiang Yu blinked, feeling that Tingyu didn't "act" according to her arrangement at all, shouldn't she be embarrassed to say good things for Namu? No matter how bad it is, you should defend Namu for a few words.

Could it be that Tingyu really doesn't like Namu?

Looking at Tingyu's face carefully, Jiang Yu denied this speculation, where did she not like it, it was obvious that she was moved and restrained her feelings, and she was unwilling to disobey her master.

was so loyal, Jiang Yu liked it and felt distressed, and she couldn't bear to tease her anymore, so she said helplessly: "Hey! It's really a thousand-mile marriage, who would have thought that two people who are thousands of miles apart can actually know each other, and they still have each other in their hearts? ”

"Madame, you ......"

"Don't worry, His Majesty Jin Guo has already come to ask A-Ying yesterday to ask Namu to marry you, so I came to ask what you mean. Marriage is related to the happiness of your life, and we don't want to delay you by acting hastily. Now I just want to ask you, are you happy with Namu and willing to follow him? ”

Hearing the rain was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head in emotion.

In fact, the master just wanted to make Wenda Jiahui's friend, and gave her directly to Namu, and she didn't complain, even if she gave it to an old man in her seventies and eighties, she would never resent her master. But the master did not do that, but came to ask for her opinion. They are genuinely thinking about her future, not superficial, but really treating her as a person.

Listening to the rain at this time, he was very glad that he didn't calculate to climb into the master's bed like those big girls in other mansions.

Because she believes at this time that as long as she does what she should do, God will always arrange the best to compensate.

"I ...... I do not know. "I can't wipe my face when I listen to the rain.

Jiang Wei smiled: "You don't know. But I did. He shook his hand holding the rain. "Don't worry. I'll arrange this for you. ”

"Yes, the maid is all at the mercy of the lady's arrangement."

Jiang Yu nodded with satisfaction. When it was time for lunch, I talked to Huo Nineteen.

Huo Jiu smiled when he heard this: "I think Namu is also sincere, since you have already made up your mind about this matter, you will leave the rest to you, and I am the first to ask Da Ying." ”

"Okay, you can be careful, don't spoil the good marriage between Tingyu and Namu." Jiang Yu looked at the cunning in Huo Shijiu's eyes. I know that he has calculations again.

Huo Jiu innocently touched his nose: "Am I that kind of person?" ”

"Aren't you? Stomach full of bad water. Jiang Yu gave him a blank look.

Huo Jiu put his arms around Jiang Yu and said a lot of thoughtful words.

In the afternoon, the sky was overcast again, and it snowed heavily.

Huo Shijiu and Wen Da Jiahui sat around the stove in the study room of the outer courtyard, eating tea and chatting, and Namu poked behind Wen Da Jiahui like a wooden stake.

Wen Da Jiahui couldn't bear Namu's vague look in the end, so she had to say: "Yesterday's incident, have you asked Jiang Yan?" ”

"Asked. I'm about to sue sΓΉmajesty xiΓ  too. Huo Jiujiu looked at Namu and said, "Yu'er said, Tingyu is the most powerful person around her, and she is reluctant to marry her far away." ”

Namu heard. I only felt that a heart was stacked on the ground and shattered, as if the entire chest cavity had been hollowed out. The blood all over the body seemed to be congealed.

"But ......"

"But what?" Namu didn't wait for Huo Nineteen to finish. I asked eagerly.

Huo Jiu smiled: "But if she is really a good man who is really attentive to Tingyu and only treats her with one heart in her life, she will not deprive her of happiness." ”

Namu's feelings when he fell to the bottom eased somewhat, and he said anxiously: "Please rest assured, Grandpa, I will never let down Tingyu." Today, there is a loyal and brave duke, and His Majesty is also there, I will never say anything in front of the two of you, I think I will do what I say. ”

"Hmm. I also believe in you, Your Majesty has always praised you. Huo Nineteen said slowly: "Then it's decided." ”

Set? What is ordered?

Namu's mind had stopped, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what he meant.

Wen Dajiahui held his forehead, "He is usually quite clever, I don't know why he is stupid now, don't get me wrong." ”

"Even if he is stupid, what I believe is also the vision of the Majesty, how can the person who is important to the Majesty be bad?"

When the two were talking, Namu completely understood, knelt down and bowed: "Thank you Zhongyong, thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Seeing the stupid boy like that, Huo Jiujiu and Wen Dajiahui glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but laugh.

"You can prepare, find a matchmaker another day, and do the happy event. Let's live in the mansion now, and when this matter is over in the future, let her go back to Jinguo with you. ”

"Yes, thank you for your trust." Namu's voice trembled with joy.

Huo Shijiu and Wen Dajiahui were also infected by Namu's love, and the two were in a much happier mood.

At this moment, Sixi's anxious voice came from outside: "Grandpa, it's not good!" ”

"What's the matter?" Huo Jiu stood up slowly, and the first thing that came to mind was Jiang Yan.

Sixi entered the house, hurriedly saluted and said, "It's news from outside, General Qiu is back!" But because he didn't get General Lu back, the emperor was angry, and in a fit of anger, he sent General Qiu to prison! ”

"What?" The impact of this blow was not small, Huo Shijiu immediately felt that his breath was blocked in his chest, and he didn't recover for a long time.

General Qiu was ordered to take Lu Tianming, if he didn't complete the things the emperor explained before, the emperor was angry, and he wanted to send one or two ministers. But it is very treatable in extraordinary times, and now at this juncture, where can the little emperor do such a thing?

Originally, many ministers who had done things for the British Public, or were worried about being misunderstood as British Ducal henchmen, were holding a wait-and-see attitude, and the emperor did not do those things that could appease people's hearts, but sent the ministers who did not fulfill their orders to prison, wouldn't this chill the hearts of the people of the world?

In this way, who will dare to come forward to do things for the emperor in the future? If it is done, there may not be a reward, and if it is done, it will be imprisoned, who dares to serve the emperor?

Even if he is angry again, it is absolutely undesirable to do so, why didn't the little emperor control his temper and make such a low-level mistake!

Wen Dajiahui sneered: "The stupid person is doing stupid things again." ”

"Your Majesty, I'll go out first." Huo Jiujiu hurriedly got up and ordered Sixi to change his clothes.

Wen Dajiahui thought for a while and said, "Even if you want to speak, don't be too direct." ”

Huo Nineteen paused, and looked back at Wen Da Jiahui. (To be continued......)
