At this time, in the Jinfu Hibiscus Garden, it was also silent.

Mrs. Jin leaned on the soft couch, with a towel on her forehead, and the headache she hadn't committed for a long time had been committed again. She held her forehead and sighed.

Liu Wenzhao thoughtfully rubbed the towel for her on the side, and comforted her softly: "Auntie, don't be too sad, your body is important......"

"How can you not be sad and worried?!" Mrs. Jin's face was full of worry, "Just now the person I sent to protect the ingots sent back the news that someone was going to kill the ingots!" ”

Liu Wenzhao was stunned at first, and then his face turned pale: "How can there be such a thing?" Yuan Bao Ji people will be able to turn danger into a disaster, I hope Yuan Bao will figure it out as soon as possible and return to the house. ”

"Want to understand?" Mrs. Jin sighed deeply, "The next person has already reported, and a group of four of them went to the Fuchang Inn in front of them, where is there a plan to come back." I thought that Yuan Bao could take on the great business of the Jin family, but he was fascinated by such a wild girl, and he disappointed me again and again......"

Liu Wenzhao observed his words and looks, and saw that Mrs. Jin herself mentioned the great cause of the Jin family, so he immediately took the opportunity to say: "Auntie, I came to report to you that a batch of new goods has come from the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau, waiting for the person in charge of our house to come over to inspect the goods." "Ingot is an inadequate. I can't get past my current physical condition. Wen Zhao, why don't you go for a run. You should worry more about the recent affairs of the Weapons Manufacturing Bureau.

Sure enough, everything was just as he expected! Liu Wenzhao's heart was full of joy for a while, but he still strongly suppressed his expression, lowered his head, and said respectfully: "Auntie, don't worry." Wen Zhaoding should do his best, and wait for the ingots to come back before handing over the Weapons Manufacturing Bureau to the young master. “

"Let's hope there's another day." Mrs. Jin shook her head in disappointment, and then looked at Liu Wenzhao with concern. praised softly: "Wen Zhao, I know that you are diligent, capable, and loyal, if Yuanbao is like you, I don't have to worry so much." ”

Liu Wenzhao was proud in his heart, and knelt down in front of Mrs. Jin. Lang said: "Wen Zhao must live up to his aunt's high expectations!" ”

"Hmm...... Good boy. Mrs. Jin touched her slightly sore forehead and said, "You go and rest." ”

"Yes." Liu Wenzhao respectfully stepped back.

Early the next morning, Liu Wenzhao, who was proud of the spring breeze, took his own people. swaggered towards the gate of the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau.

He walked briskly, and his smug expression was overflowing.

And the soldiers guarding the door on the side, where did they know the details, and when they saw him coming. And they went up to stop him.

Agui saw this. But he stepped forward, raised his foot and kicked the soldiers guarding the door over, then took out the token in his arms, and said with a full heart: "On the orders of Mrs. Jin, in the future, the big and small matters of the Weapons Manufacturing Bureau will be handed over to Liu Gongzi to be responsible." ”

When the soldiers guarding the gate saw this, they retreated in fear, and the soldiers on the side saw this. He also immediately knelt down and saluted.

Liu Wenzhao stared at the group of soldiers, and the corners of his lips hooked up a smile. Step through the door.

After about a quarter of an hour, Agui gathered the officials, craftsmen, and soldiers in the arsenal in the courtyard to listen to Liu Wenzhao's lecture.

After Liu Wenzhao came out of the office, he cleared his throat and said loudly: "Everyone be quiet, now I want to announce a news, Mrs. Jin's order, in the future, the big and small matters of the Weapons Manufacturing Bureau will be handed over to Liu Gongzi to be responsible, and now I invite Liu Gongzi to give you a lecture." ”

Everyone immediately quieted down, and looked at Liu Wenzhao with some fear.

Liu Wenzhao glanced at everyone slowly, and then said solemnly: "The Weapons Manufacturing Bureau is the supervision of the Golden Mansion appointed by the Holy Lord, which is related to the Jiangshan Sheji, and has a great responsibility. Not long ago, at the inauguration ceremony of Young Master Jin, the cannon we made ourselves also exploded, and there was an incident of bombing the hall, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face for ourselves. Here I want to tell his family that I, Liu Wenzhao, am not Young Master Jin, and in the future, this Weapons Manufacturing Bureau will be in the hands of my Liu Wenzhao, and I will never allow such a thing to happen......"

Liu Wenzhao paused and coldly glanced at everyone present.

Ah Gui stepped forward and shouted, "Do you all understand?" Now the Ordnance Manufacturing Bureau is managed by Liu Gongzi, and everyone will only look forward to Liu Gongzi in the future. ”

Some interested officials hurriedly knelt down and offered their courtesy to Liu Wenzhao.

"I would like to listen to Liu Gongzi's dispatch!"

Slowly, more people also knelt down: "I am willing to listen to Liu Gongzi's dispatch." ”

Liu Wenzhao raised his chin slightly, although his face was not shocked, but he was very happy to accept this feeling of resonance in his heart.

Just when Liu Wenzhao was enjoying his rights, a decree of the Queen Mother reached the Jin Mansion, and the Queen Mother actually wanted to meet the gold ingots and jade unicorns in person on a whim!

For Mrs. Kim, this undoubtedly added another handful of salt to her wounds.

For a while, Mrs. Jin was extremely anxious and confused.

But, slowly, slowly...... She quieted down, and Mrs. Kim, who had experienced so many twists and turns, once again decided to take risks for the sake of the love between mother and son......

When Liu Wenzhao returned to the Jin Mansion proudly, he found that a carriage was parked at the door, followed by a group of guards, and Mrs. Jin was walking towards the door with Aunt Gu carrying a salute.

Liu Wenzhao hurriedly went up and asked, "Auntie, is this going far away?" ”

"Hmm." Mrs. Kim nodded.

On the way back, Liu Wenzhao had already heard about the Empress Dowager's decree, and there was really a feeling that there would be an east wind when the red cliffs were burned. It seemed that Mrs. Jin was going to find the gold ingots in person, so she cautiously asked, "Could it be that Aunt Fei is going to find the ingots in person?" ”

Mrs. Jin sighed faintly: "My son ran away, what else can I do when I am a mother?" Besides, the Queen Mother told her to see the ingots. ”

Liu Wenzhao hurriedly persuaded: "Auntie, don't worry, the Queen Mother wants to summon the Yuanbao couple, I think I just want to ask about some trivial matters, maybe it was because their husband and wife were not in harmony a while ago, and some rumors spread to the ears of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother wants to persuade a few words, you can find a way to go to the Queen Mother to Chen and say, let the Queen Mother change her mind." Leave this matter to Wen Zhao. ”

"Wen Zhao, summoned by the Queen Mother. How can you shirk it? Mrs. Jin frowned: "Besides, if the ingots are not in the mansion for a day, I won't be at ease for a day." ”

"When the ingots are gone. That kind of determination broke my aunt's heart, but my aunt still only had him in her heart......" Liu Wenzhao slipped a trace of disappointment on his face.

"Whatever he does, he's my son."

Liu Wenzhao continued to persuade quietly: "Auntie, just leave the matter of finding ingots to Wenzhao, you better stay in the house with peace of mind." You are the backbone of our Golden Mansion. What if something happens? Wen Zhao is thinking about his aunt and the hundreds of people in the Jin Mansion. Please also ask my aunt to think twice. ”

"You also know Yuanbao's temper, others will inevitably run into a wall and return, only if I go in person, it is possible to ask him back."

"But Auntie. That's too dangerous! You can't gamble with your life! ”

Hear his care. Mrs. Jin's heart warmed slightly, and she said gently: "Wen Zhao, I know that you have good intentions, but I have made up my mind, so don't say it again." ”

Looking at Mrs. Jin's resolute face, Liu Wenzhao knew that he couldn't stop it, so he had to sigh and say, "Since my aunt insists on going, let Wenzhao accompany her." It's good to take care of and protect my aunt on the road. ”

"Nope." Mrs. Jin shook her head: "There can't be no one in charge in the house, you still have to take care of the affairs of the house with peace of mind." ”

"That'...... All right. Liu Wenzhao looked helpless. Immediately, he cautiously probed: "That's fine, let Yuan Bao and the Jade Qilin come back, in case the Queen Mother sees through the matter of the marriage, and my aunt pushes the Jade Qilin out, saying that she is completely deceived and deceived......"

"There has never been any substitute marriage, and there is no jade unicorn, in front of the Queen Mother, she is Jiang Xiaoxuan." Mrs. Jin interrupted Liu Wenzhao's words with some displeasure.

"Auntie, this ......" Liu Wenzhao was shocked.

Mrs. Jin took a deep breath, took two steps towards Liu Wenzhao, lowered her voice, stared at him and said, "I don't say it, you don't say it, Yuanbao and Qilin won't say it, and Aunt Gu and my two personal servants won't say it, and this matter won't reach the ears of the Queen Mother." ”

Liu Wenzhao desperately suppressed the feeling of consternation in his heart, and said calmly: "Wenzhao will naturally keep this secret, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, this matter is related to the safety of my aunt, and it is related to the safety of the entire Jin Mansion, and I beg my aunt to think twice!" ”

"Needless to say!" With that, Mrs. King walked briskly into the carriage.

Liu Wenzhao stood at the door to see him off, until the carriage completely disappeared from his sight, and his face gradually appeared shocked and disappointed with Mrs. Jin.

He walked back to the house full of depression and anxiety, but he didn't expect that as soon as he walked into his courtyard, Liu Qianqian greeted him with a straight face, and asked, "Are you satisfied now?" ”

Liu Wenzhao was stunned: "What am I satisfied with?" ”

"You're still pretending?" Liu Qianqian had tears in her eyes, and said angrily: "Brother Yuanbao is gone, this is all your world, isn't this what you have been looking forward to for a long time?" ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Liu Wenzhao flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "Yuanbao ran away, he was fascinated by that woman, what does it matter to me?" ”

Unexpectedly, Liu Qianqian smiled coldly: "Hmph, you can hide it from your aunt, you can hide it from the top and bottom of the Jin Mansion, but you just can't hide it from me!" ”

"Are you crazy, girl? What am I hiding? ”

"Dare you say that you didn't design all of this? You are trying to force Yuan Bao away and let him leave the Golden Mansion, and you have been waiting for this day. Now you've finally got your way. However, Brother Yuanbao is the brother we grew up with, how can you do such a despicable and dirty thing, do you still have a little brotherhood? ”

"Shut up!" Liu Wenzhao's face turned pale and suppressed the urge to hit her by himself, "Am I doing all this for myself?" You treat him as a brother, and in his eyes, you and I are all subordinates under the fence! I, Liu Wenzhao, don't revitalize the lintel for the Liu family for a day, and our brothers and sisters can't raise their heads for a day! ”

"I'm going to say it!" Liu Qianqian continued regardless of it: "I hate you, I hate you for forcing Brother Yuanbao away!" If he doesn't come back, I'll never forgive you for the rest of my life! ”

"You!" Liu Wenzhao gritted his teeth and raised his hand.

"You dare!"

Liu Qianqian looked up at him, her stubborn gaze deeply hurt Liu Wenzhao's heart, he slowly put his hand down, and shouted in a soft voice: "Qianqian......"

"I hate you!" Liu Qianqian shook her head, threw down the last three words, and walked away quickly.

Looking at the figure that was gradually moving away from herself, Liu Wenzhao knew that her heart was gradually moving away from herself.

"Although it's your own sister, it's not like you. Do you want to lock her up? Ah Gui didn't know when he appeared behind him.

Liu Wenzhao didn't look at him, but said firmly: "No one can stand in my way." Strictly guarded, from now on. Can't let her withdraw half a step from the gold mansion! ”

"Yes......" Agui responded, and then said: "Just now, Madame personally went out to find the gold ingot, I really didn't expect it." ”

"I did a lot of calculations, but I neglected the madness of women. A woman who is a mother, when she initiates madness, can do anything, for the gold ingots. Madame did not hesitate to stake her own life and the lives of hundreds of people in the Jin Mansion. ”

"Childe, it's really not good. Then ......," Gui made a killing gesture.

Liu Wenzhao shook his head: "Last time, you sent someone to hunt down and kill Jin Yuanbao and their party, but you were intercepted by someone sent by Madame halfway, and Madame was already wary of this matter. The reason why Madame dared to go to find the gold ingots was also because she had already made arrangements along the way. So far. If we are reckless. will only expose themselves. ”

"What then?"

Liu Wenzhao frowned, and there was no countermeasure in his heart.

***

The sun is setting in the west, and the lights are getting brighter.

A carriage stopped outside the inn on the side of the road, but no one came down.

Immediately, a black-clad warrior walked out from behind the inn, walked briskly to the carriage, and half-knelt beside it.

The curtain of the car was just opened, revealing Mrs. Kim's face.

"Madame. It's all been checked, and the four of them are at the Fuxing Inn in front."

Mrs. Jin nodded: "Closed all the roads around the inn." We'll go over now. She looked up at a dim window on the top floor of the inn, where a vague but familiar figure was reflected.

In the window, Jin Yuan was sitting by the window and gently changing the medicine for the jade unicorn, and the gesture was too heavy, and the jade unicorn couldn't help but shrink his arms.

He hurriedly asked with concern, "Does it hurt?" ”

The jade qilin shook his head slightly, the gold ingots frowned, continued to apply medicine to her, and whispered: "I don't have a lot of coils, I can't buy good medicine, if I feel pain, call it out." ”

Looking at his haggard eyebrows, the Jade Qilin couldn't help but whisper: "Yuanbao! I'm sorry. ”

When Jin Yuan Bao heard this, he smiled slightly, and teased: "What about the jade unicorn that was not afraid of the sky and the earth, and would not shed a single tear when the sky fell?" What about the only jade unicorn in the world who can beat me and scold me, but will still block the knife and get injured for me? ”

The Jade Qilin blinked his eyes and lowered his eyes, "It's all because of me, letting you leave the Golden Mansion and your mother, making you so uncomfortable, you better go back." ”

"What are you going to do when I'm gone!" The gold ingot's face was a little sorrowful.

"Don't worry about me." The jade unicorn raised his eyebrows, and said with a lively face: "Who is my jade unicorn, how can there be a place I can't go to heaven and earth, since I can enter the Golden Mansion without knowing it, I can naturally get out of the Golden Mansion, don't worry, go back and tell your mother, I held you hostage, and even if the East Window incident happens, your Golden Mansion will be fine." Otherwise......"

However, the rest of the words were interrupted by a tight, warm embrace.

Jin Yuan Bao rested his chin on her shoulder, and said extremely lonely: "I just became an ungrateful and unfilial son, and now I want to be a heartless and unrighteous man?" ”

The jade unicorn was startled, and his body gradually softened, so he let the gold ingots hold him like this, and the two of them were speechless and condensed, just holding them like this, as if time and space had stopped.

"But ......"

Before the jade qilin could speak, the gold ingots interrupted: "Don't say anything, as long as I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt you!" ”

"Ingot ......"

"Tuk Tuk!" There was a knock at the door.

"Who's going to be here?" The gold ingots were a little reluctant to let go of their arms.

"Probably Xiaoxuan and Changfeng. I'm going to open the door. Jade Qilin stood up, straightened his clothes, walked to the door, and opened it.

However, after the door slowly opened, what appeared in front of me was Mrs. Jin's gloomy face.

The jade qilin was suddenly petrified, his eyes widened, and he didn't move.

"Who's coming?"

Jin Yuan stepped forward and was stunned when he saw Mrs. Jin standing at the door.

Mrs. Jin looked at him, then at the unfinished bandage medicine on the table, and frowned, "What, you don't want my mother to enter the house?" ”

The gold ingots trembled slightly, and involuntarily let go.

Mrs. Kim walked into the room and sat down in a chair.

The gold ingot tried his best to calm himself from the shock of the moment just now, and blocked in front of the jade qilin. asked: "Mother, are you still unwilling to let her go?" Do you have to kill her before you give up? ”

When the jade unicorn heard this, he stepped forward. greeted Mrs. Jin and said sincerely: "Everything started because of me, I do things by myself, Mrs. can send me down at will, if you want to kill me, you have to listen to the respect, but please let Jiang Xiaoxuan go, she is innocent." ”

Mrs. Kim was silent. Just looked at the jade unicorn with burning eyes, as if to see through her bones.

The jade unicorn was looked at by her, and it was a little hairy.

"He will pretend to kiss the poor child again. and will stick a knife in the ribs for a friend, no wonder the ingots are confused by you. Mrs. Kim said coldly and sarcastically.

Hearing this, Jin Yuan Bao pulled the jade unicorn behind him and said to Mrs. Jin: "Do you have to kill the unicorn?" I said it when I left the Golden Mansion. I live and die with the unicorn. If the mother insists on killing the unicorn, then please kill the child first. ”

The jade unicorn shook off the hand of the gold ingot: "I don't want you to die!" You should go back to your mother, and your mother and son will be reunited and live a good life. ”

"As I said, if you die, I won't live alone." The gold ingots held her again regardless of it.

Seeing that the jade unicorn and the gold ingots were still showing affection in front of her at this time, a trace of anger shot out of Mrs. Jin's eyes, and then she restrained herself strongly. Trying to calm down, he said, "Did I say who I was going to kill?" You can't wait to die or live. ”

The jade unicorn and the gold ingots glanced at each other.

"You are my son, I am your mother. The son ran away from home despite his mother, but the mother couldn't leave her son alone. ”

The jade unicorn and the gold ingots both trembled slightly.

"From the moment the child stepped out of the gate of the Golden Mansion, he had nothing to do with the Golden Mansion." The gold ingots strongly restrained their feelings.

When Mrs. Jin heard this, her eyes were full of disappointment, but she still said in a trembling voice: "No matter what you say, no matter where you go, you will always be my son, and I will always be your mother!" I'm going to take you back now! ”

The gold ingot's lips trembled and he didn't speak.

Hearing this, Jade Qilin couldn't help but persuade: "Yuanbao, you should go back with your mother......"

"I swore that I would always be with the unicorn in this life and this life, and I would never be separated." The gold ingot's gaze was determined.

"Didn't separate you!" Mrs. Jin paused, glanced at the jade unicorn, and sighed, "She will also go back together." ”

"You let Kirin go back?" Jin Yuanbao's expression tightened: "No, the unicorn will die if he goes back!" The capital is full of ears and eyes who want to make a fuss from her, and the unicorn can't go back! ”

"There is a plaque from the Queen Mother hanging at the entrance of the Golden Mansion, and it is still the Great General's Mansion favored by the Holy One!" Mrs. Jin endured her heartache and slowly explained: "You say, who dares to come in and arrest people casually? Still is...... You don't believe in mother? ”

Yu Qilin also hurriedly persuaded: "Yuanbao, don't talk to your mother like this......"

"Don't speak." Jin Yuan stopped her, continued to look at Mrs. Jin, and said, "Forgive the child for being disobedient, but the child doesn't want the Qilin to be in danger and repeat the danger!" ”

"Do you think you have a place to live?"

The gold ingots and jade unicorns were shocked.

In the room, after being quiet for a long time, the gold ingots muttered: "The sky is high and the sea is wide, and the child and the unicorn always have a foothold." ”

"Under the whole world, it is not the king's land!" Mrs. Jin patiently explained: "The Queen Mother issued an order to summon your husband and wife, if you don't go, the Queen Mother will definitely be suspicious, and the matter of the marriage may also be exposed, then there is really no place to bury!" ”

Jin Yuan Bao was slightly surprised: "You came to us to take us to see the Queen Mother?" ”

"Who does the Queen Mother want to see, can you still see it!"

"And then? Then hand over the unicorn to the Queen Mother and put everything on her? ”

Mrs. Kim's body shook.

Hearing this, the jade qilin lowered his head gloomily.

The gold ingots continued desperately: "Use the life of the Qilin to exchange for the safety of the entire Golden Mansion, right? Then, the child's attitude is also very clear, the child will die with the unicorn! ”

"Why don't you trust your mother like that!" Mrs. Kim shouted frantically in a bit of a gaffe. I had never seen such a disgraced mother, and Jin Yuan couldn't help but be stunned.

"If my mother really wanted to report the Qilin to the Queen Mother, she would have already reported it, and she would have to go to great lengths to get you back! My mother wants to keep this secret with you and get through this difficult time together! Mrs. Kim said with tears in her eyes.

"What? You...... You mean......"

Mrs. Jin's tears slowly flowed down the corners of her eyes: "From now on, we are people in the same boat, we live and die together, and we share weal and sorrow." Only if all of us are united and keep this secret can we all be safe. ”

The gold ingots were completely stunned, as if they couldn't believe what they had heard.

"You...... You ......" Yu Qilin stammered a little and asked, "You want to hide it from the Queen Mother with us?" ”

Jin Yuan Bao was also shocked and moved by his mother's behavior, but at the same time, he was also full of worry: "Mother, this is a crime of bullying the king!" ”

"Yes, this stinky girl has committed the crime of bullying the king, but my son will live and die with her! If I lose my son, what's the point of living in this world? Prominent status, glory and wealth, and even the entire Jin Mansion, I can give up, but the only thing I can't give up is my son, that is, you, my ingot, my son......" Speaking of this, Mrs. Jin couldn't cry.

Jin Yuan looked at his mother in shock, and his mother's words made his heart tremble deeply.

The Jade Qilin was also stunned, this was the first time she had seen Mrs. Jin's motherly true feelings.

"As long as you live well, as long as you are happy, you can do anything. Now, my mother has only one request, that is, I beg you to go home with my mother, and never leave my mother in the future......" Mrs. Jin said this, tears welled up, and she knelt down against the gold ingot.

The gold ingots were shocked, and hurriedly went to Mrs. Lakin: "Mother, get up quickly!" ”

"If you don't agree, my mother won't get up."

The gold ingots also shed tears and knelt in front of their mother.

Such a scene of mother and son kneeling against each other made the jade unicorn's heart like a knife.

In the end, Jin Yuan Bao still chose to believe in his mother, and cried and helped Mrs. Jin up: "Mother, the child promises to go home with you, and will never leave you from now on!" ”

He gently pulled the jade unicorn, and the jade unicorn also knelt in front of Mrs. Jin with him, and the golden ingot slowly regretted in his heart: "Mother, the child will go back with you." The child swears that from now on he will never hurt you again, let you down, and never let his mother shed a tear in this life, if there is a violation of ......"

"Don't talk about it...... Mrs. Jin hurriedly stopped, "If you are willing to go back with your mother, your mother will be happier than anything else." ”

The jade unicorn on the side was deeply moved by the mother-son relationship between Jin Yuan Bao and Mrs. Jin, and at the same time, the worries and hesitations in his heart also went further.

Jin Yuan took a deep breath, took the hand of the jade unicorn, and said seriously: "Let's go back together, unicorn, my mother has promised to keep it secret for us, she has forgiven you, you don't want to thank your mother soon!" ”

"Thank you, mother." The jade unicorn kowtowed obediently.

However, Mrs. Jin just glanced at her coldly and said lightly: "Don't thank me, I did this all for my son." ”

This sense of alienation made Yu Qilin's heart ache. (To be continued......)
