Shang's head office, in the warm pavilion on the top floor.

"I'm fine, just go back and get some sleep." Lu Yun smiled and said, "Just take care of yourself, I will come to see you often." Is there anything you'd like to eat that I brought to you? ”

"I have everything at home, you just need to ......" Shang Luojia raised his head and looked at Lu Yun a little shyly: "People can come often......

"That's natural." Lu Yun hurriedly said: "I will come to you as soon as I am free, until you are annoyed." ”

"Why bother?" Shang Luojia said something like a mosquito, and felt that this was too shy, so he hurriedly defended himself: "I've been stuffy upstairs all day, and I don't see outsiders except for frost, so I wish someone would come and talk to me." ”

"Okay, that's it." Lu Yun scratched his head and looked outside the window when the moon had sunk in the west, only to suddenly realize that it was already the fourth watch. He hurriedly stood up and said, "Staying up late is not good for your health, you better go to bed early, and don't do needlework at night in the future." ”

"Well, I'll listen to you." Miss Shang nodded obediently, stood up on the edge of the couch, and wanted to send Lu Yun off.

Lu Yun hurriedly supported her and said, "Don't move, I'll leave." ”

He smiled at Shang Luojia, turned around and was about to leave, but heard her faint murmur behind him: "You don't follow the child...... Say hello and go? ”

"Uh, good ......" Lu Yun turned around and looked at Shang Luojia but didn't know what to do?

Shang Luojia saw that he actually raised his arm and waved his hand towards his stomach, and was amused by Lu Yun's clumsy appearance.

"Silly ......" Shang Luojia blushed and stretched out his hand, grabbed Lu Yun's wrist, and then gently put his hand on his slightly bulging lower abdomen.

Lu Yun's arm became extremely stiff, but he didn't dare to use any strength in his palm, for fear of hurting the fetus in her womb. After a while, he gradually got used to this sudden intimacy, tried to rub Shang Luojia's belly a few times, and asked strangely, "Why didn't you react?" ”

"It's only been a few months." Shang Luojia gave him a blank look and opened Lu Yun's hand.

"Hehe, I'm too anxious." Although Lu Yun looked embarrassed, this small intimate contact seemed to have shortened the distance between the two a lot. The tone of his speech was also a little more casual. "Then I'll touch it next time."

"Let's go...... Shang Luojia blushed and kicked Lu Yun out of the warm pavilion. She didn't tell Lu Yun that if she wanted to feel the activity of the fetus from the outside, she had to wait at least another two or three months.

When Lu Yun left, Shang Luojia sat back on the edge of the couch with a sense of relief, as if he had been drained of all his strength. She had a smile of joy on her face, but tears welled up in her eyes......

Shuangshuang heard Lu Yun leave for a while, and then quietly opened the curtain and came into the inner room, and saw her young lady sitting there crying and laughing. But the little maid was startled.

"Miss, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine...... Shang Luojia looked at Shuangshuang with a smile, held her hand tightly and said, "The hardest days are over, and tomorrow will be a new day." ”

"Isn't it a new day?" Shuangshuang muttered inexplicably, but seeing that the young lady's heart was exhausted, the heart she had been holding on to could finally relax.

。

Since that day, Lu Yun will go to talk to Shang Luojia every once in a while, and often bring some small gifts to make her happy. With a common child as the foundation, the relationship between the two naturally quickly returned to normal, and then gradually became close.

Shang Luojia finally got out of the haze, her diet and daily life returned to normal, and her body and bones became plump day by day. However, after Shang Yun received Shang Luojia's letter, he postponed his visit to Luodu, and instead went to inspect his business in Jiangnan. It will take at least two or three months to go back and forth, and I don't know what the boss of Shang has in mind.

Unconsciously, the time came to March, spring returned to the earth, the ice and snow melted on the Luo River, and the blue waves were sparkling. The weeping willows by the river are rippling in the spring breeze. The peach and crape myrtle in Xiyuan are scorching, and the business travelers have all changed into light clothes, and the inside and outside of Luodu City are full of vitality.

There was a lot of traffic in front of Jianye Gate in the east three gates of Luodu City, and the cars and horses waiting to enter the city lined up in a long line, and they couldn't see the end of the end.

Suddenly, there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves, and the knight waved his whip to drive away the merchants who stood in his way. "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

The crowd was in a commotion, but it was still forcibly cleared out of a passageway. The knights gathered around an ornately decorated carriage and drove straight into the Jianye Gate.

Seeing that this caravan of chariots and horses drove straight in without inspection, and there were merchants who had been waiting outside the city for an hour or two, they couldn't help but ask indignantly: "Why didn't the government check on them?" ”

"Brother, this is the first time you have entered Beijing, right?" The strange merchant pointed to the eye-catching flaming red badge on the carriage in the distance and said, "You always know the words on it, right?" ”

"Pei? That's Pei Valve's carriage? "The merchant has some understanding." No wonder, the Beijing camp is all their family, and who dares to stop their carriage among the officers and soldiers guarding the city? ”

"You know only one thing, you don't know the other." The merchant before lowered his voice and said, "Look at that badge, it's clearly Deacon Pei's carriage. And there must still be important people sitting in the car, otherwise at the feet of the Son of Heaven, even the dignified Deacon Pei would not be so arrogant. ”

"Oh......" The merchant nodded ignorantly, and couldn't help but imagine that if he could sit in that carriage and swagger through the market for a while, he would be willing to live ten years less. I don't know where the top sits sacred? ”

"Then I don't know......," the merchant said, "You just have to guess it." ”

。

Pei Valve's team entered the city, and the escorted army left on its own, leaving more than a dozen guards to protect the carriage that caused a lot of commotion, and wandered around the city of Luodu without hurry.

In the carriage, Pei Yukou, who had obviously arrived at the door of the house, but couldn't go back immediately, couldn't help but feel a little anxious. This is also human nature, after all, he has been away from home for almost two months.

Soon after the New Year, the imperial court approved Pei Valve's request for the reversal of Pei Du and Pei Jiao. Pei Valve has always been resolute, Pei Du left the next day to take up the post of commander of the Beijing camp, and Pei Jiao went north to Youzhou within a few days to take over his vacant post of general of Zhenbei.

Pei Yukou also accompanied his father to Youzhou to help Pei Jiao deal with some messy handover matters. After staying in Youzhou for more than a month, Pei Yukou learned that Pei Valve had colluded deeply with Taiping Dao.

When accompanying Pei Jiao to inspect the side wall, Pei Yukou was shocked to find that the Zhenbei Army had all withdrawn to the south of Zhenbei Pass, and in the Baili defense area north of the border wall, there was no longer a single soldier of Daxuan.
