Chapter 30: Zhenguo Mansion

It was a woman in a pink shirt driving.

Jing Ge only felt that his mouth was dry, and his breathing became short. The fists clenched hard unconsciously, the knuckles turned white, and he stood motionless in front of the stall, like a clay sculpture.

A strange emotion invaded him, nervousness, apprehension and uneasiness.

Is that person really his mother?

The simple carriage stopped, and the girl in pink got out and lifted the curtain.

Jing Ge stood there, looking at the dignified woman who walked towards her in a daze, her eyes instantly covered with a layer of mist, and tears slipped down involuntarily.

Although Jing Ge is always very arrogant, he doesn't care about everything. But how could he not long for a family affection that he had never felt as an orphan.

In the past eighteen years, those two hazy figures have appeared in his dreams many times, and he has tried his best to stare at them, but he has never been able to see them clearly, and he can't see their appearance clearly. Growing up alone in that orphanage, enduring the cold eyes and ridicule of others, he learned to hide his emotions very early.

In the dead of night, Jing Ge often imagined the appearance of his parents, they must be very amiable, and they fostered themselves in the orphanage for some unavoidable reasons. He never had the slightest idea of blaming his parents for abandoning him, but he just wanted to see them.

"I am very grateful to you for giving me life and giving me the opportunity to experience life and see the prosperity of the world. Feel the warmth of light, the sweetness of water, the coldness of wind, and the coldness of snow. I really miss you and want to say thank you in person. I want to see what you look like, I will be filial to you, and I will work hard to make myself better, and I will not lose your face. Mom, Dad, where are you? Jing Ge once hid in the corner of the orphanage, looking up at the endless starry sky, and whispered.

When he first saw this dignified woman, the figure in the dream immediately became clear, overlapping with the person in front of him.

He didn't need to say anything, and he didn't need any proof, he instinctively knew that the person in front of him was his mother, who had appeared in that hazy dream for the umpteenth time. Because they have the same blood flowing in them, a call from deep in the blood.

He couldn't contain his emotions, tears fell uncontrollably, and his body kept shaking. He opened his mouth as if he had a bone stuck in his throat, unable to utter a syllable.

This intense emotion simply cannot be described. Jing Ge had long heard Shangguan Junyue talk about the generalissimo and his wife, but in his consciousness, these two people were just other people's parents, so he didn't have much to look forward to.

It was only at this moment that he realized that he was wrong, this person was the mother he had longed to see in countless dreams, this feeling that blood was thicker than water. And here she is! At this moment, Jing Ge was even thinking: God, did you hear my words? Let me travel through endless time and space to come back and meet my mother!

The dignified woman in a plain robe walked up to Jing Ge, wiped the tears from his cheeks with her hands, hugged him into her arms, stroked his head and said softly, "Silly boy, men don't flick when they have tears." It's good to come back, cry something. ”

Jing Ge was hugged by her, and the emotions that had been suppressed for 18 years were released unreservedly. Tears welled up, and her shoulders shook violently with sobbing, wetting a large part of her clothes.

The little lady who sold begonia fruit obviously saw the generalissimo's wife, and hurriedly pulled Xiaobao to kneel on the ground and salute, "Meet the Duchess of Guo." ”

When the people around heard her identity, they fell to their knees to see their esteemed Duchess of the Kingdom.

"Everyone, please." Madame took Jing Ge's hand and said to them.

"Sister Liao, if there are any difficulties in life, just go to the Zhenguo Mansion to find me, and when my son returns today, I will stay for a short time and go back to the mansion first." Madame helped the little lady who sold begonia fruit up, and she also remembered that this little lady was the widow of her father's subordinates.

The little lady surnamed Liao nodded dumbfounded, and looked at Jing Ge with an incredulous expression, is the person who has just been chatting with the stall for so long actually the prince of Zhenguo?!

Under the gaze of everyone, the lady pulled Jing Ge into the carriage, and the pink-clothed maid lowered the curtain and drove back to the Zhenguo Mansion.

"I've lost so much weight, how much pain I've had to suffer in the past three years." Jing's mother caressed his tear-stained cheeks with pity.

"Mother, the child has just lost his temper." Jing Ge remembered his appearance just now, and cried bitterly in front of everyone, where did he have the appearance of a half-manly man.

"Why should you care about the eyes of others, I heard that you have fallen and forgotten the past?" Jing Mu carefully inspected his whole body.

"Yes." Jing Ge nodded.

"Fortunately, you still know me, if you don't remember the past, you don't remember, just come back safely." Jing Mu held his hand and said.

"I dare not forget the grace of motherhood." Jing Ge said.

Jing Mu smiled when she heard this, "My son has changed a lot, and he didn't speak like this before. ”

Jing Ge's mood gradually calmed down, no longer so excited, only joy and happiness. Since Jing's mother saw him, she has been holding him tightly and has not seen her son for three years. Her longing will not be less than Jing Ge, and she kept asking Jing Ge along the way, and her doting feelings are beyond words.

The carriage stopped in front of a mansion, Jing Ge got out of the carriage, crossed the steps and looked at the gilded plaque carved with the four big characters of the Zhenguo Mansion, and there were two mighty stone lions squatting at the door, but there were no government soldiers to guard them.

Two people came out to greet them, and they bowed and saluted, "Madam, Your Highness." ”

"No need to be polite, let's go in." Jing Mu said.

She led Jing Ge and walked into the mansion, and Jing Ge found that there were only five of them in the huge Zhenguo Mansion.

This is the mansion given to Jingqing by His Majesty the Emperor, located in the most prosperous area of the imperial capital, according to the law of Daqin, the prince can raise three hundred soldiers to protect himself, so the Guogong Mansion is very large, more than enough to live two or three hundred people, there are dozens of houses, and there are independent garden courtyards. Why are there only these two or three people?

"I didn't need them to protect me, so I dismissed my soldiers. It's useless to be idle, so it's better to save some money to help those poor families. Just wait until you come back and recruit again. Jing Mu knew that he was confused, and said as she walked.

They walked through the hallway of the front yard and into the hall. Jing's mother pulled him to sit down, pointed to the middle-aged woman in a pale yellow dress and asked, "Do you remember her?" ”

Jing Ge shook his head blankly.

"She's your Aunt Lan." Jingmu sighed lightly, and pointed to another middle-aged man with thinning hair and said, "Mr. Bookkeeper, Uncle Cheng." ”

"Aunt Lan, Uncle Cheng." Jing Ge shouted in turn.

The two bowed in return.

"This is the Snow Maiden." Jing's mother beckoned the pink-clothed maid to approach, took her hand and asked. "Would you like to take care of Ge'er in the future?"

The pink-clad girl nodded happily, "Yes, ma'am." ”

"Ge'er will follow me to the back hall to put incense on your father and tell him that you will return safely." Jing Mu got up and walked into the back hall with Jing Ge.

On the spotless table in the back hall is a spirit tablet: the position of the ancestor Jingqing. It's very simple, Jing Ge couldn't help but feel a little sad when he looked at the spirit card, after all, he didn't have a chance to see his father again?

.......

"Snow girl, take Ge'er back to the room to take a shower and change clothes. I'll go to the kitchen and stir up a few dishes, and I'll have to celebrate tonight. Jing's mother said that she hadn't been in the kitchen for many days.

"Your Highness." The girl in pink leads the way.

"What's your name?" Jing Ge asked, her face was like a full moon, her face was beautiful, her starry eyes were bright, her wide sleeves were fluttering, her waist was slim, her hair was curled up with a mutton fat hairpin inserted obliquely, and her gestures were unique, not like ordinary maids.

"The slave maid is called Qianxue, can Your Highness really not remember?" The girl replied.

Jing Ge smiled and shook his head. "Have I bullied you before?"

"The slave maid followed her when she was seven years old, and has been with her for twelve years. In the past, His Highness rarely stayed in the mansion, so he was never favored by His Highness. Qianxue replied with a slight blush, she misunderstood what Jing Ge meant.

Jing Ge was slightly embarrassed when he heard her answer, but he didn't explain, he thought for a while and said, "You are the same age as me, you don't have to salute me, and don't call yourself a slave or something, it sounds strange and unaccustomed." Just get along like a friend, and you don't have to be inferior. ”

Hearing his words, Qianxue hurriedly lowered her head and said in a panic, "The slave doesn't dare." "She is a slave. Although Madame has always been kind and lenient to her subordinates, she will never be presumptuous and exceed her duty.

"But I'm Your Highness, don't you want to listen to me?" Jing Ge said.

"Well, this... Yes, Your Highness, the slave remembers. She hesitated for a moment.

"Is this the room I used to be?" Jing Ge pushed open the door and walked into this room, and there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

How can you feel this way?

He stared at this luxurious room in amazement, the tables and chairs in it were all made of precious wood, and there were many rare calligraphy, paintings and antiques. And all of this felt familiar to him. It's unreasonable, he's never been here, he shouldn't feel that way.

He walked a few steps around the room, his brow furrowed, and a gust of wind blew away some of the dust. He felt like he had a little more in his head, as if a memory hidden in the depths had been awakened. He was a little confused, a little puzzled. Did I really live here?

"Your Highness, the bath water is ready, try if the water temperature is suitable." While he was in a daze, Chiyuki took a large bucket, put it in the room, and filled it with water.

"Oh, okay." Jing Ge walked over.

He watched as Qianxue stepped forward and took off his coat and set it aside, then reached for his belt. Only then did he realize that Qianxue was going to wait for him to take a bath.

Jing Ge was naturally very unaccustomed to this, and Qian Xueqiao's face was a little blushing with stiff movements, obviously she rarely did this kind of thing before.

"I'll come by myself, you can go out and wait first." Jing Ge said.

"Yes, the slave and maid are waiting in the outer room, and His Highness will call me at any time." Qianxue walked out like an amnesty.

Jing Ge quickly finished taking a shower, changed into a brocade robe, and wrapped a jade belt around his waist, looking like a human.

He stepped out of the outer room and sat on the bed covered with thick mink, feeling the softness coming from beneath his buttocks. me, the leather sofa sat so comfortably, so he lay on it, moaning comfortably and rolling a few times.

"You're my personal maid. Is it okay to warm the bed or something? Jing Ge looked at Qianxue who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh on the side, and decided to make a joke.

"If Your Highness needs it, of course you can." She bit her lip and said.

"So good? Then come and sit down, I just have something to ask you. Jing Ge moved a place on the bed and said.

Qianxue walked over obediently, she was understanding, and said, "Does Your Highness want to know about the situation in the mansion in the past three years?" ”

Jing Ge nodded.

"After the Generalissimo was killed three years ago and His Royal Highness left Beijing, Madame dismissed all the government soldiers. The court still gave the Zhenguo Mansion according to the title of the prince and the duke, and there was no less, and there were rewards for every New Year's holiday, and the lady used most of the money to relieve the poor people and sacrifice the families of the soldiers. Qianxue sat on the side and said.

"Who will protect my mother?" Jing Ge asked.

"Uncle Cheng and me." Qianxue said.

"You?" Jing Ge was surprised.

Qianxue nodded, "Uncle Cheng is a master of the Grandmaster realm, Madame is kind and has no quarrel with the world, and almost no one will want to hurt her." ”

"What about you? In what state? Jing Ge asked.

"Six grades, but the slave and maid cultivate the way of killing, even if they are not afraid of ordinary grandmasters." Qianxue said softly, she didn't dare to speak too much in front of His Highness. In fact, the Ordinary Grandmaster was no match for her at all.

"I see, my mother asked you to protect me, so who will protect her?" Jing Ge remembered the scene where Jing's mother solemnly asked Qianxue if she was willing to take care of him, and knew that she gave her personal maid to herself, so she couldn't help but be a little worried about her safety.

"Your Highness doesn't have to worry, Madame has her own Aunt Lan to escort you." Qianxue said with a smile.

"Your Highness may not know that when you were thousands of miles away from home and banished to the borderlands, Aunt Lan had been secretly following. How could Madame leave you alone in danger? She added.

Yes, when the mother learned that her son was banished, of course she would do everything she could to keep her safe and send her best guards out.

"You are with me, ready to inform me of what I have forgotten." Jing Ge instructed, he thought for a while, took out the house that Shangguan Junyue gave him and handed it to Qianxue, "And bother, you boil a medicine for me every seven days according to this prescription." ”

Qian Xue took the prescription and asked with concern, "Is Your Highness sick?" ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just a prescription for conditioning the body." Jing Ge said that he wanted Shangguan Junyue to have excellent medical skills, and he repeatedly told him that there must be a reason to drink this medicine.
