Chapter 46: The Mid-Autumn Festival for Two Families
Sending Li Qingyao to the door, Gu Huaiyuan stood in front of the carriage, saw Li Qingyao coming out and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand, and said in a worried tone: "Why don't you say hello when you come out?" I'm worried. ”
"I'm fine, I'm just too bored, so I've come to talk to the Holy Maiden."
Gu Huaiyuan looked at Lu Wanting and said to her, "There is a holy woman Lao to take care of Qingyao for me." ”
"It's okay, it's just that you have to take better care of your lady in the future."
"What do you mean by that?"
"It's not interesting, it's just that you're going to be a father." Lu Wanting said unhurriedly.
"What?!" Gu Huaiyuan was also a little unresponsive, he looked at Li Qingyao, and Li Qingyao nodded at him lightly with a smile.
Gu Huaiyuan froze in place and slapped himself, so frightened that Li Qingyao grabbed his hand, "What are you doing here?" ”
"It hurts a little, so... I'm not dreaming. Gu Huaiyuan looked at his lady, took her hand, and smirked at her.
Li Qingyao gave him a blank look, "I'm stupid here again." ”
Gu Huaiyuan smirked "hehe", and then carefully helped Li Qingyao into the carriage, "I'll help you up." ”
Li Qingyao rolled her eyes again, "It's not that I can't walk." ”
"Aren't you pregnant, but be careful." Gu Huaiyuan said with a smile while helping her to the carriage.
After Li Qingyao got into the carriage, Gu Huaiyuan turned back to Lu Wanting and said, "Thank you for the hostess, let's go back first." ”
Seeing him turn around and prepare to leave, Lu Wanting hurriedly called out to him: "Master Gu, wait a minute, now that Qingyao is pregnant, you have to pay more attention, don't let her be too tired, can't make her angry, avoid catching a cold, avoid spicy, cold, and sweet foods in your diet." ”
Gu Huaiyuan listened carefully, and after Lu Wanting finished speaking, he nodded, and said to Lu Wanting: "Thank you, Holy Maiden, I have written it down." ”
"Okay, go slowly." At this time, Li Qingyao was lifting the curtain to look at Lu Wanting, she waved her hand to Lu Wanting, and Lu Wanting nodded and smiled at her.
As soon as he saw Li Qingyao leave, he was about to turn around and enter the house, when Murong Zhan came.
"Where did Miss Lu come from?"
Lu Wanting heard Murong Zhan's voice, and turned to look at him again, "Isn't the prince busy going to the border to welcome his relatives?" ”
"I'm almost ready, so I'll have time to come and see you."
"When will the prince leave?"
"Don't worry, there are still a few days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and we will set off after the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Lu Wanting was stunned, time flies really fast, and in a blink of an eye, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival again, and she misses her relatives every festival, but where are her relatives now?
Seeing that Lu Wanting was standing in place and didn't speak, Murong Zhan smiled in a low voice and said to her, "Isn't Miss Lu going to invite this king in and sit down?" ”
Lu Wanting retracted her thoughts and turned sideways to invite Murong Zhan in.
After the two sat down, Murong Zhan looked at Lu Wanting, who was a little absent-minded, and asked, "Miss Lu, has something happened to you?" ”
Lu Wanting looked up a little blankly, "Huh? What did the prince say? ”
Murong Zhan frowned, feeling that Lu Wanting was not in the right state at this time, "Miss Lu, what happened?" ”
Lu Wanting came back to her senses from her thoughts and hatred and shook her head, "I'm fine, I'm just a little distracted." ”
"Well, if Miss Lu has something, you can tell this king, and this king will do his best to help you."
Lu Wanting smiled, "Okay." ”
At this time, Honeysuckle served tea, and after she retreated, Murong Zhan pondered for a moment and said to Lu Wanting: "I don't know what Miss Lu's plans are for the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Do you want to live alone or go back to the Valley of the Medicine King? If it is a person, it is better to come to the palace of King Kang and celebrate the festival with this king, so as not to be lonely, how about it? ”
"The prince should be in the palace for the Mid-Autumn Festival, right?"
"In previous years, my leg injury has not healed, and I have spent it alone in the house, and I have never been to the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet." When Murong Zhan said this, his eyes were a little lonely.
"But now that your leg is better, you should go to the palace. I'm not alone, I'm going to live with my family. ”
"Miss Lu has a family? I haven't heard of you. ”
Murong Zhan was a little surprised, as far as he knew, Lu Wanting was the holy daughter of the Medicine King Valley, and she had been living in the Medicine King Valley before, but he didn't know that she still had a family.
"They are not in the east, nor are they in the Valley of the Medicine King." Lu Wanting replied lightly, it was not false for her to lie.
"So you're leaving Donglin for the Mid-Autumn Festival? Will you ever come back? Murong Zhan was a little nervous, for fear that Lu Wanting would never return, after all, her affairs in Donglin were over.
"Nature."
"That's good."
Hearing Lu Wanting's answer, Murong Zhan breathed a sigh of relief.
“……”
After a period of silence, Murong Zhan got up to say goodbye, Lu Wanting was only a friend to him at this time, he knew that he couldn't be too anxious, he could only slowly impress her little by little.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival came, Lu Wanting packed her things and got into the carriage to the general's mansion. Before the age of eight, the Mid-Autumn Festival was only her and her master, and later every year in the Mid-Autumn Festival, she was there to celebrate the festival with which brother and sister. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is in the east, so it is natural to spend it with the sixth senior brother and the eighth senior sister.
When she arrived at the General's Mansion, her senior brother's family was waiting for her at the door, and when Lu Wanting got off the carriage, she saw the family looking at her with a smile, and suddenly thought of her distant parents in the 21st century, as well as her younger brother, how many times have they been like senior brothers, standing at the door and waiting for them to go home?
Thinking of her parents in the 21st century, and thinking of her father and her separated mother and younger brother in Beiyuan, Lu Wanting only felt a dull pain in her heart, when will she be able to have a warm home again?
There was no reaction all the way, and she walked into the general's mansion absentmindedly, Lu Wanting didn't even remember when the meal was served, and how she sat down at the dinner table, until she heard her senior sister call her, she raised her head to look at everyone, and found that her senior brother and sister and Chu Yichuan were all looking at her with a worried face.
She pulled the corners of her mouth, smiled far-fetchedly, and said to the three of them: "I'm fine, I'm just thinking about things." ”
Liu Beiqing's tone was a little cautious, and he asked softly, "Senior sister, is you missing your mother and younger brother?" ”
When Chu Yichuan heard this, he interjected and asked, "Little Auntie's mother and younger brother?" Why have you never heard from my little aunt? ”
Liu Beiqing glared at Chu Yichuan, this kid, why don't you open which pot to mention?
Chu Yichuan saw his mother glaring at him, scratched his head, and before he could react why, his father Chu Yuntian hit him on the head again, "It's okay to ask nonsense, eat your food!" ”
Chu Yuntian exclaimed, "Dad, don't you know how to lighten it?" ”
Chu Yuntian snorted, the exhaled breath from his nose blew his beard, he touched his mustache and glared at Chu Yichuan.
Lu Wanting looked at the scene in front of her, her sad emotions were instantly washed away, she sneered, and said, "It's only this time when I can see my senior brother like this." ”
Liu Beiqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lu Wanting recover her mood, and said with a smile: "This is the normal state of their father and son, if you live in the General's Mansion, you can see your senior brother being so angry that he blows his beard and stares at him every day." ”
Lu Wanting smiled and didn't speak.
Liu Beiqing raised his eyes and looked at her, and asked tentatively: "Senior sister, why don't you move back to the General's Mansion, you are always lonely when you live alone, and when you come back to the General's Mansion, when your senior brother and Chuan'er are not at home, we can also be companions." ”
Lu Wanting shook her head, "Not yet, King Kang has finally relaxed his vigilance against me now, and I will come back when I find out his purpose." ”
Chu Yichuan was a little puzzled and asked, "But King Kang's purpose is already obvious, doesn't he just want to be the emperor?" He targeted the General's Mansion and secretly poisoned him, probably because the General's Mansion was in his way. ”
Lu Wanting shook her head, "No, you see King An before, he also wanted to be the emperor, but he didn't say that he wanted to eradicate the General's Mansion, but to win you over?" Have you ever wondered why? ”
Chu Yichuan shook his head and said he didn't know.
"Because the senior brother holds the power of the army, because he is the god of war in the east and the general who guards the east. There is now a peaceful and prosperous era in the east, and it is because of the existence of the senior brother that those small border countries dare not come to attack. King An is not stupid, he wants to be the emperor, but he doesn't want to be an emperor of the Donglin Kingdom who makes the people feel insecure, he needs his senior brother, and he needs him to continue to protect this country for him, so he just woos you, not to find a way to get rid of you. ”
Chu Yuntian and Chu Yichuan both nodded at the same time, thinking that what she said made sense.
"As for Murong Zhan...... It's obvious that he wants to be the emperor, but I just don't understand, why would he want to get rid of you, does he think that if he becomes the emperor, he will have a way to maintain a peaceful east? ”
Lu Wanting couldn't figure it out, and Chu Yuntian couldn't figure it out, but after all, they were fine, and Murong Zhan was not the emperor yet, so they just had to be careful and not let Murong Zhan's treacherous plan succeed.
"And you're going to stay with him?" When Chu Yichuan asked this, there was a bit of resentment in his eyes, and he looked at Lu Wanting like he was looking at a negative man who forgot his old love when he had a new love, oh, no, it was a negative girl.
Lu Wanting lowered her head and was silent, Liu Beiqing broke the silence with a cough, "Don't talk about that, let's eat first, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”
didn't discuss anything else, a few people just ate simply, the senior sister sometimes served vegetables to the senior brother, sometimes to Chu Yichuan, and the senior brother and Chu Yichuan also served the vegetables to the senior sister, Lu Wanting looked at the happy appearance of this family of three, and her thoughts drifted into the distance again.
In an unknown town in Beiyuan, a middle-aged woman sat at a table with a few side dishes that she had carefully stir-fried, and next to her sat a young man, about sixteen or seventeen years old.
The woman took a piece of meat and put it in the man's bowl, and said to him: "Shao'er, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, these are your favorite dishes, you eat more!" ”
The woman was dressed in coarse cloth, and her hands were a little rough, and she had many calluses, but she sat upright, and when she ate, she chewed slowly and was very elegant, and she was not much different from the noble lady in the capital when she ate.
The man, whom she called Shao'er, first took a piece of meat and said to her, "Mother eats first." Then he picked up the food from his bowl and put it in his mouth, chewing it unhurriedly, as if under the influence of his mother.
The woman's eyes as she looked at her son were full of kindness, but there was still an imperceptible melancholy in those eyes......
