Chapter 256: Incompetence
The night is deep, the stars and moon are hazy, and the candle shadow is red......
Man Yun clearly remembered that he was sitting on the edge of the couch and counting the new scars added to her husband after parting, and after a few times he wanted to speak and stopped, he cautiously approached Xiao Hong, who closed his eyes and pondered, to ask the reason, but in an instant, he suddenly fell into the boundless sea of brilliant stars, and his body floated in the clouds.
The man, who had no intention of explaining the hardships of the march, demonstrated directly to his wife what a surprise attack was. Crossing the mountains and wading through the valley, knocking on the pass to explore the secluded, and taking the six-foot couch as a vertical and horizontal battlefield. The undefensible conquest, the confrontation is delusional, and the bold woman who dared to touch the tiger's whiskers surrendered early and was defeated, and he led the completion of perfect and crazy attacks again and again.
Galloping through thousands of mountains and rivers, at this moment, she is the rich and fertile soil that he wants to take root, the spring river plumbing that he has survived the harsh winter, and the migratory whirlpool is full of temptation, even if he drowns in it, he has no complaints...... Reluctantly letting go of Man Yun's red and swollen lips, Xiao Hong reached out with his elbow and touched his wife's flushed cheeks, and smiled brightly.
A bean-sized drop of sweat dripped on Man Yun's body, and then another drop...... The crazy enthusiasm gradually became a delicate lingering sweat sticky.
"I'm amazing, right?" , Xiao Hong lowered his head and touched the tip of Man Yun's nose, and his sudden question revealed undeniable pride.
"Awesome!", Man Yun's eyebrows and eyes smiled gently, and his jade arm stretched out and hugged her husband's neck, "Xiao Hong, we are still young!" ”
"I haven't said it yet, but you understand!" The smile on the young man's face became even more cheerful, and he leaned over and pecked Man Yun's cheek lightly, and then buried his head tightly in her smooth neck socket......
The little vanity left in the chest, the little unwillingness, will be buried from this moment on. As long as there is you who praise me. What are other people's evaluations!
Xiao Hong, who was staring at the top of the tent, breathed a long sigh of relief, hugged his sleeping wife in his arms tighter, and slowly closed his eyes......
On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the ceremony of Xiao Ze, the prince of Jingguo, leading the army into the city, according to Xiao Shizi's original intention, was to be extremely low-key. However, the royal relatives, dignitaries and nobles left behind in Luojing City crowded to the city gate, driving a large number of people to set off waves of welcome when the army entered the city.
Luojing's civil and military officials are desperately seeking after it. The eagerness of the people in the market was all focused on Xiao Ze a few days before the Yunzhou army entered the city. Even the snowflake horse he rode into the city was pulled like a god horse by some idlers who were good at making up scripts.
After discovering that Xiao Shizi seemed to be humble and did not like flattery and paid more attention to brotherhood, well-informed officials of all sizes began to mention the various advantages of his younger brothers in front of Xiao Ze.
Xiao Yuan, who is bold, loyal, and brave enough to be an enemy of 10,000 people, Xiao Long, who is young but not inferior to his brother, who has "helped" many important people in the city, and even Xiao Zhan, the fourth son of the Xiao family who has not entered the city and is steadily advancing with the army of Jingguo Gong Luojing, also got a steady march and a solid and careful evaluation.
"It seems that the sixth child of the Xiao family also entered the city with Xiao Shizi? He is the younger brother of the son of the world......", occasionally someone has no confidence to put a new direction in front of everyone. and quickly took the initiative to abandon the topic.
What is there to praise about Xiao Hong, the sixth child of the Xiao family? Before entering the city, there were no remarkable deeds, and on the day he entered the city, he directly entered the Jingguo Mansion, and for more than ten days, he has been hiding in the mansion like an invisible person, so that people who want to work hard to discover some of his advantages are also like boots, and they can't find the itch at all.
"Grandpa Zi! Are we really going to follow him? In the private room on the second floor of a teahouse in Luojing City, Lu Shou, who was dressed like a gentle little scholar, stroked the smooth fur of Amethyst. Frow tightened, worried.
A person who is in a panic and confusion in the dark night looking for a target. I always hope that the star I am looking for is the brightest, brightest and most recognizable in the sky. For those of them who are homeless, they should be attached to a strong person. All the way north to Luojing, Lu Shou's ears were filled with Xiao Ze, and he repeated it again and again, only making him wonder if his grandfather had confessed the wrong name that day.
He was able to sit in Luojing City and drink tea because Luojing City had actually changed its owner. Now the door is being opened to all directions. Xiao Ze, who does not reject friends and is not afraid of enemies, can make such a decision, should be a master with superior ability, self-confidence and open-mindedness, and should be much stronger than his previous master.
It's a pity that the person who grandpa confessed to was not him! A slender sign flipped into Lu Shou's palm. Staring at the dragon pattern star map engraved on the brand, the little eunuch who pursed the corners of his mouth felt bitter.
Lu Zheng confessed to him on his deathbed that the owner who asked him to take Amethyst to guard was also surnamed Xiao, but it was Xiao Hong of the Xiao family's sixth line.
After inquiring about it for a few days, Lu Shou's deepest impression of the sixth child of the Xiao family, who he never knew, was that this person would be extremely injured.
Xiakou Puzhen was injured and forced to take away his brother-in-law, Shuangqiao was beaten and injured when he married his wife, and he was injured again when he arrived at Baigu Mountain, which almost dragged the Xiao family's army back. If it weren't for the fact that he was Xiao Shizi's younger brother, such an incompetent person would have died on the road long ago.
"Let's confirm if he is the person grandpa said first, and then go to Commander Jane, okay?" , I don't look at the future master very much, Lu Shou swiped his little paws of amethyst, hesitated in his mouth, but his eyes looked in the direction of Jingguo Mansion......
Carrying a bamboo cage covered with black cloth, a young man dressed in a plain Confucian costume walked down the steps and slowly walked out of the teahouse. Walking through the streets and alleys, Lu Shou was decorated with several secret guards of various colors behind him without a trace.
Xiao Shizi's itinerary after entering the city is still busy, especially the night banquets where the dignitaries in the city want to reminisce about old love. At first, Xiao Yuan followed, but not twice, he directly said in front of everyone that he was going to fight outside the city because he was bored with such wine, and then he was sent outside the city by Xiao Xize, and dragged Xiao Long by the way when he left the city.
Akito does not rub sand in his eyes. Only when the main force stationed outside the city is well guaranteed, the safer Xiao Shizi is in the city.
In this way, the Jingguo Mansion, which has not been inhabited for a long time, should have only Xiao Hong as the owner after nightfall.
The afternoon sun was sunny and warm, and Lu Shou, who was walking along the side of Zhongtao Lane, smiled at the corner of his mouth, paced carefully, secretly thinking about the route of the night visit, and on the other side of the alley three zhang away was a section of the courtyard wall of the backyard of the Jingguo Mansion.
Amethyst, who was hiding in the bamboo cage, suddenly straightened up, and a flutter scratched the cage curtain. Lu Shou paused in confusion and said in a low voice, "Amethyst." Do you think it's good to go in from here? ”
Lu Shou looked up, there was a small crescent crescent gap in the straight courtyard wall, and next to the gap, a big mulberry tree that had not yet turned green put its thick roots across the wall, like a hovering ......
"That's right! This is the well! Within the courtyard walls. Xiao Hong, who was looking for treasures with his wife's deserted courtyard, excitedly beckoned to Man Yun, who was suddenly staring at Sang Zhi in a daze, and pointed his finger to a deep well at his feet.
What did the silver feel? Man Yun stroked his chest that had not been beating half a beat for no reason, lifted his skirt three steps and ran over in two steps, squatting beside her husband with a smile.
The ten fingers of both hands were tightly clasped, and Xiao Hong pulled Man Yun who was looking down tightly, lest she be more curious than jump down to see what was going on.
The third brother Xiao Yuan took the initiative to invite Ying to go outside the city, and Xiao Hong also had thoughts, but in the end, he couldn't bear to leave Man Yun, who had been left behind, in the city alone. There is not much time left for the husband and wife to get tired. The day when Jing Guogong arrived at Luojing was just around the corner. When his father arrived, it was impossible to let him hide in the backyard to accompany his daughter-in-law, and Manyun, the new daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, had to go through a test.
In fact, the father should not reject intelligent and assertive women from the bottom of his heart. Emperor Zhao of the Ming Dynasty...... My aunt was only ten years old, but she was clever and quick-witted, and when she hid, she first escalated the ladder and let her personal maid climb the wall from there...... Then he hid under this well with his father, so that he escaped the massacre during the rebellion of the king and saved a little seedling for the Xiao family. ”
"But the eldest brother's attitude towards women is not like this! Don't they all say that sons are like fathers? Manyun is eager to learn and seek advice. She also understands that during this time, she needs to get more things out of her husband as soon as possible, so as not to show timidity in front of her father-in-law.
"I didn't think much of it at first. But now that I think about it. They're scared, too, right? That kind of fear because of distress? Xiao Hong shook his head at the mouth of the well, stretched out his hand and pulled his wife next to him to stand up together, and carefully helped Man Yun out of the dry well that he looked at was still dangerous.
"Manyun! I remember that when I first arrived in Huocheng, I also persuaded you. At that time, I was afraid that you would be stubborn and hard, and you would be like the eldest sister. Girls are beautiful and smart. and have their own opinions...... A lot of times it's no better than a mediocre woman. The two generations of queens of the Xiao family are very unfortunate, and now among the several sisters in Yunzhou, the eldest sister has the most difficult life. ”
"The so-called hardship is because of being aware and conscious, so that they will find themselves and think more. Can't you just calm down and endure it? ”。 Man Yun sighed lightly, looking into the distance with a longing in his eyes, "If this world can change, women don't have to be bound to the deep palace or backyard all their lives, they can be free to enjoy freedom like men, instead of accepting fate and resigning themselves to fate all day long...... How nice it would be! ”
"If you say this, you will be reprimanded by the world!" , Xiao Hong sighed and wrapped his wife tightly in his arms.
"I won't say these things in front of people!" , Man Yun patted Xiao Hong's cheek with his backhand and assured softly. After reliving her life, she realized that it is more difficult to change people's ideas in the world than to take people's lives, she is not an omnipotent god, and it is already a fluke to be able to be reborn and be able to get the sincere embrace of her husband behind her.
"Hmmm! That's it! Xiao Hong's nasal voice was thick and vague, "Man Yun, I will do my best to make you feel comfortable." But you also have to remember that there are many things that you can't do too much. ”
"Understood!" , Zhou Manyun held Xiao Hong's arm tightly, raised his pretty face lightly, squeezed his eyebrows narrowly, and said, "I went around in circles with me for a long time, just to let me relax when dealing with those women sent to the house." ”
Beauty admires heroes, and it is estimated that most of them will be a little reserved and do not take the initiative to send them to the door. But in these years, "heroes" are heavy heroes, and they love to give gifts to thousands of charming beauties. On the twelfth day of staying in the originally deserted Jingguo Mansion, the number of beauties in the mansion increased dramatically, all of which were given by various families to the prince Xiao Ze.
"Yes! Anyway, those women weren't for your husband. You are tired to help watch, just put two honest ones next to the eldest brother. It's all sent by others, and he can't return it......"
"I really don't like doing these things! The prince also threatened me, saying that if he didn't return to the house as soon as possible, he would consider transferring the beauty to his younger brother. Manyun, who was clutching her husband's collar, began to cry out for comfort inch by inch.
"I won't want it! It's rare for big brother to ask you to help! Do it well, it's early! Then, I'll take you to do your favorite ......" (to be continued......)
