17. Lovers are not enough
Since the first time he saw Xiong Xiang'er, Zuo Zhan's heart has been rippling, recalling the scene of his first acquaintance with his lover. At that time, the two were crowded in a shared house, the conditions were hard, but the heart was sweet, and later Zuo Zhan decided to take the shortcut of expatriate in order to be better promoted, and this way down was five years. Long-distance relationships are a big test for every couple and couple, and many people regret choosing to let go. Although Zuo Zhan and his lover were lucky to enter the palace of marriage and waited for the birth of the baby together, a car accident made him reincarnate as a human being, how could he not worry about his wife and parents over there.
Zuo Zhan lay in bed crying for countless nights, and when he got up the next day, he would leave a deep tear stain, how could all this escape Wang An's eyes. He has raised Zhu Youxiao since he was a child, so he naturally knows that this child is cowardly and helpless, thinking that he misses his parents too much, so he has repeatedly hinted that Zuo Zhan can go out of the palace to relax.
Zuo Zhan is so smart, he naturally knows what it means to scatter his heart. For the sake of safety, at this time, the Xiong Mansion was already surrounded by Ouchi masters, and Zuo Zhan deliberately let out the wind to say that he had taken a fancy to the daughter of the Xiong family. This news is like a stuffy fart in the quilt in winter, the movement is not loud but the lethality is extremely strong, and it soon spread to Xiong Tingbi, who was still sharpening his knife in Jinzhou. He really couldn't figure out why the emperor would visit Xiong Mansion at night, but he was in love with his unruly granddaughter, and secretly sweated for the little emperor. You must know that Kou Yue grew up with him since she was a child, and the female workers didn't learn a few things, but the eighteen blades were handy, a typical tiger girl, otherwise she would not be calm in the face of Zuo Zhan and Yu Dingbian, the two uninvited guests.
Although Xiong Tingbi was puzzled, he was very attracted to the aura of others who regarded him as the prince of the country. Originally, he was just a general soldier of Liaodong, and he was ordered to sit in Jinzhou to arrange the defense of Shenyang, but the emperor ordered the Shanhaiguan Pass to be closed, and the high-ranking officials who returned from Liaodong were nested in Jinzhou City, and they could throw a brick and smash a few second-grade or more generals. As the saying goes, officials crush people to death, although these people have no real power, they often interfere with Xiong Tingbi's military and political strategies, and the Shang Fang sword in his waist can only be used to cut the three grades first, so he is so angry that he has nothing to do.
Now the situation is all different, everyone says that it is fragrant when you fart, and you rush to do the tasks that are assigned. There were even more people who went to the General Military Mansion to give gifts at night, and many of them were high-ranking officials and celebrant supervisors who were specially working with him on weekdays, which made Xiong Tingbi feel happy.
He really wanted to write a letter to his granddaughter to tell him to be more restrained, but he was also afraid that the ghost girl would see something, and if she didn't get it right, she would disturb the little emperor's interest, which would be shooting herself in the foot. In a blink of an eye, I thought that everything was better to go with the flow, maybe it was Zhou Yu who beat Huang Gai: one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, and the affairs of men and women are not clear.
Xiong Tingbi was at ease in Jinzhou Le, but Kou Yue was tormented. Since I met Zuo Zhan that night, I regret that I didn't ask who the surname was, so that my grandfather could come to the door in the future. When she was most lonely and helpless, Zuo Zhan was like a warm wind blowing into her heart, and quickly disappeared into her world, she was afraid that this was a dream and she would never be able to find it again when she woke up.
Under the light, the beauty is like a flower across the clouds, and it is pitiful. Lianyin saw that Miss was depressed all day long, and she knew that being affectionate was better than being ruthless, which was a cause for lovesickness, and there was no other way than to serve her diet and daily life. As night fell, the silence of the house was broken by a dog barking on the street, and the two of them heard a knock on the door, and the sound was so familiar to them.
Na Lianyin found a good medicine for the disease, put on a big coat and ran out to open the door. Kou Yue was secretly happy, but she always had to take care of her identity, and secretly looked through the crack in the window after hiding in the inner room.
The person who came was not who Zuo Zhan was, but in addition to Yu Dingbian, there was also one more Wang An by his side. The three masters and servants followed Lianyin into the main hall, everything was laid out as before, and they couldn't help but say a few words when they sat down. In the courtyard just now, Zuo Zhan had already seen the shadow of the moon, and secretly laughed at this beauty for fear that she didn't know that she had been discovered, and deliberately said:
"Xiao Lianyin, is your young lady hiding in the house to practice light exercises?"
Na Lianyin didn't know what Zuo Zhan meant by asking, thinking that he already knew about Kuo Yue's martial arts practice since childhood, and was about to explain one or two, but he heard Zuo Zhan continue with a smile:
"It seems that I saw her sticking to the window paper motionless, which is more powerful than the gecko's kung fu swimming on the wall."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked at each other and smiled, and naturally knew what Zuo Zhan meant. Kou Yue hid in the inner room and felt ashamed, from the root of her ears to her neck. Lianyin saw that Zuo Zhan deliberately made things difficult for his own young lady, and replied with a heartfelt heart:
"My Fair Lady is a gentleman, but a gentleman should not squint, and be the same on the outside and on the inside."
Zuo Zhanxin said that this little girl's mouth is still so powerful, and now she will quote scriptures, and she knows that she will be scolded if she continues to talk about it, so she introduced Wang An to them, and said:
"This is Xiao Ke's relative in Jingzhong, I heard that it was your master and servant who kindly took him in that night, so I must come over in person to express my gratitude, and ask your young lady to come out and talk about it."
Wang An grew up in the palace since he was a child, although he is not a real man, but serving three generations of kings is not an idle generation, and his expression has his own prestige and cultivation. Seeing that he was extraordinary, Kou Yue knew that he must be a high-ranking official, so he bowed slightly and asked:
"I can't afford to take in the little woman, I just go out to help each other. I don't know what the official and this person are called? Please bow down to the little girl first. ”
That Wang An saw that the future Niangniang was making a gesture to himself, and he couldn't wait to kneel on the ground, and listened to Niangniang ask him how to call the emperor, so he missed the appearance and looked at Zuo Zhan nervously. Although Zuo Zhan calmly explained that he was his cousin, Na Kouyue was deaf and clear-sighted, and found that the two were more like master and servant. When he entered the house just now, he first wiped the seat for Zuo Zhan, and then sat down very unnaturally, but now he asked casually, but he didn't dare to answer directly, if it was an uncle and nephew, how could it be like this?
Thinking of this, he thought about it and asked:
"The little girl heard from the officials that you are in the Sixth Department, what kind of errand is it?"
Wang An didn't know what the plan was, and casually said that it was a matter for the household department, but unexpectedly, Kou Yue pretended to be surprised and asked:
"No, the official said that you are a squire in the military department, and you still know your grandfather."
Wang An was like a deflated ball, looking at Zuo Zhan even more helplessly, Zuo Zhan said calmly in line with the principle that you can't blush if you lie:
"Uncle is not confused, the rotation of officials of the six ministries is a common thing, why should you mind? I know that you want to go to Liaodong to fight with General Xiong, and now the Holy Lord sympathizes with your old age and decrepit spirit, and asks you to go to the household department to help allocate food and grass and military salaries. ”
After speaking, he coughed lightly, suggesting that Wang An hurry up and get out. Wang An'an comprehended, and pretended to echo a few words before saying:
"I am an old friend of your family, and if he has a correspondence in the future, please take me to say hello, and by the way, ask him if he knows Wang An. Now the two families have this opportunity again, and they have prepared a small gift to express their gratitude. It's just that the war in Liaodong is tight right now, and I still have important things to deal with, so I won't stay for a long time. ”
Kou Yue thought that he had seen through the plan of the three people, but Wang An said that he had a nose and eyes, and saw that the gifts he brought were piled up all over the courtyard, so he was suspicious but it was inconvenient to ask further. After sending Wang An away, Yu Dingbian called Lianyin outside the door to count the gift list, and only Zuo Zhan and Kou Yue were left sitting opposite each other in the house.
The reunion of the two is better than a newlywed, and a thousand words come to mind, Zuo Zhan saw that she was thinner and a little haggard, and asked with concern:
"Like, did Lianyin abuse you, why haven't you lost a lot of weight in a few days?"
The deduction of the moon was originally a pain of lovesickness, and the eclipse was unpleasant for a few days, and when I heard that the little wrongdoer cared about him so much, I couldn't help but feel a lot relieved, and happily replied:
"My grandfather is on the front line of the barracks, and my parents are on the way, and the little woman is worried day and night, and she can't help but neglect her diet, so please don't worry about it."
"As soon as I said goodbye that day, Xiao Ke missed it from time to time, but there were always busy chores when he first came to Beijing. This time, I was able to bring my cousin to the door to thank him, and I was really happy to see the young lady's face again. ”
After speaking, Zuo Zhan couldn't help but hold Kuo Yue's hands, looked at her with affection, and forgot the feudal etiquette for a while. As soon as he reacted, he was held down by the little grappler who detained the moon, and he was distressed in his heart. Kou Yueben had affection for Zuo Zhan, so he naturally didn't think he was a rude and frivolous person, and after a little punishment, he said as if nothing had happened:
"The kid is rude, don't blame it. The elders in the family are old friends, and they will definitely be indispensable in the future. If Lang is affectionate, why rush for a while, but embarrass the elders? ”
Zuo Zhan knew that he was at a loss, and thought to himself that ancient women regarded chastity as more important than life, where could they be as open as modern people. Just now, I learned the means of deducting the moon, and while apologizing, I took off the jade dragon pendant on my waist and said:
"It's true that the kid is abrupt, please don't be surprised. This jade dragon pendant is a family heirloom, and it should be a gift to make amends, and I ask the lady to stay and enjoy it. Another jade phoenix pendant is at my mother's house, and I will bring it with me when the time comes. ”
Kou Yue could hear that Zuo Zhan was going to give a dowry, otherwise his "cousin" would not have brought so many gifts. It's just that the dragon and phoenix are the title of the emperor's family, Zuo Zhan can wear a jade dragon pendant with him, and Kou Yue has already guessed that this person is a royal clansman, and seeing that the jade dragon pendant is not like an ordinary thing, she confirmed her conjecture even more, and she has long dared not slack off, and said respectfully:
"This jade dragon pendant is priceless, which ordinary people can play with, forgive the little woman for not daring to accept it."
Zuo Zhan saw that she knew that it would be dishonest to hide it any longer, but he was still not sure if Kou Yue really wanted to be with him, and he locked the palace wall for fear of adding a tragedy, so he got up and said goodbye. The two of them had their own thoughts, but they couldn't give up, Zuo Zhan couldn't bear to deduct the moon and have another worry, and said before leaving:
"If the concubine is interested, she will not mind the value of the gift, everything is the affection of you and me, please don't refuse. In addition, as far as I know, Chief Xiong's ability to reinstate this time is all due to the good deeds of today's saints. Now that the court is united, the young lady should not say the mediocre words of the saint, let alone worry about it and hurt her body. When the spring flowers bloom next year, it will be the time of the general's triumph, and when you and I meet again, we must bring enough dowry to marry you. ”
