Chapter 358: Husband and wife reunited
The light rain in April was as thin as a cow's hair, and a carriage with exquisite carving and was one size larger than the ordinary carriage stopped next to the official road about ten miles east of Jining City. And a dozen paces away from the carriage, there were more than forty sturdy men in robes and a dozen ordinary carriages.
Those hardcover men were obviously well-trained, and they basically stood still, and they unconsciously lined up in formation. If someone who knows how to see it, they will definitely know that this is a formation in the army.
As soon as the pedestrians on the official road saw this jiashi, they knew that this must be a big family traveling. Therefore, when they walked, they leaned on the other side of the official road, avoiding the pedestrian from a distance.
Sitting in the carriage was Wu Shigong's wife, Xue Yufei. She kept looking through the screen on the carriage window and looking out of the official road. There was another middle-aged beautiful woman sitting in the carriage. She is Zhu Yun's mother, Mama Qiu.
Seeing that her young lady was so anxious, Mama Qiu smiled and said, "Miss, it's still early." Yesterday, I was convinced that my uncle would not arrive until almost noon. Miss also got up too early today, so let's rest on the soft couch for a while. ”
Xue Yufei frowned with a sad face, and sighed: "Mama Qiu, my husband just wants to see Lin'er." But this time he can't go out of Beijing, and I don't know how my husband will be angry. Alas! ”
So Mama Qiu immediately took Xue Yufei's hand and said, "This is also the constitution of the imperial court. After the prince was canonized, he was not allowed to leave Beijing without the permission of the emperor. The Hou Ye was afraid of upsetting the emperor, so he left Xiao Shizi in the capital. My uncle had already received the news and learned the news. He wouldn't blame Mademoiselle. Miss, you can't be so sad anymore, my uncle will be unhappy to see you like this when my uncle comes. ”
In the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were indeed noble sons who did not go out of Beijing without the permission of the emperor. But after such a long time, this rule has long since died in name. That is, Xue Lian, a noble who is guilty of crimes, is afraid that he will be accidentally angered by Emperor Chongzhen and lose Xue Chenglin's position as the son. That's why I'm more careful and don't dare to violate the rules at all.
Hearing that it might cause Wu Shigong's displeasure, Xue Yufei also paid attention to it, and she immediately took out a bronze mirror to look at herself, for fear that there would be any shortcomings in her carefully cleaned makeup.
Mama Qiu took the bronze mirror and looked it up and down for Xue Yufei, and said with a smile: "Uncle is the most beloved Miss, and any dress of Miss Uncle will like it." ”
But Xue Yufei still put worry on his face. Xue Yufei has always had little confidence in the appearance of a mixed-race child like herself. She asked a little worriedly: "I heard that the concubines of Fu Junna are all charming, and I haven't been by my husband's side for a few years." What a worrying thing! ”
Mama Qiu was born as Mrs. Zhang's personal maid, and she was an old man who had been watching Xue Yufei grow up, so Xue Yufei also let go of her reserve at this time. Speak your heart out plainly.
Mama Qiu immediately comforted: "Miss is a noble body, how can those vulgar women be as good as Miss one or two?" However, the slave maid listened to my girl and Mei girl: Now there are some things that are not in my uncle's house. So this time, the lady asked the slave and maid to come with her, just to establish rules in the inner house. ”
At this moment, a team of hundreds of horses galloped in the distance. After seeing the horse team, Xue Yufei's carriage. Those Xue Mansion guards dressed in robes immediately stepped forward to surround the carriage. A Xue Mansion guard mounted his horse and galloped towards the horse team under the orders of the leader.
After a while, the man who went to inquire galloped back. He said cheerfully, "Miss." It's my uncle who came over. It's my uncle who came over. ”
"Ahh Xue Yufei immediately exclaimed. His eyes immediately bent into two crescents. She didn't expect Wu Shigong to come so quickly. At this time, the rain in the sky seemed to be diluted by this festive atmosphere, and slowly stopped.
Wu Shigong took the lead and came to Xue Yufei's carriage. Yesterday, when Wu Shigong learned the news that Xue Yufei would be waiting on the official road tomorrow, he immediately threw off the group of men and horses this morning and galloped with his escort light horse.
"Uncle!" Those Xue Mansion guards knelt down on one leg in unison and saluted.
"Hmm!" Wu Shigong jumped off the horse and raised the whip in his hand to greet those Xue Mansion guards. Then he immediately followed the path given by those Xue Mansion guards and walked to the carriage.
Mama Qiu also immediately jumped out of the carriage and said to Wu Shigong: "Uncle Wan'an!" ”
For this de facto mother-in-law, Wu Shigong can't be left out in the cold. So Wu Shigong also nodded with a smile and said, "Hello Mama Qiu!" ”
In fact, at this time, Wu Shigong's heart was not on other people at all, he wanted to see his wife soon. And Xue Yufei is the same, she also violated the etiquette a little, and opened a large slit in the curtain in front of the carriage, revealing most of her face.
Wu Shigong just wanted to say hello to his wife, but he didn't expect that the people who followed Wu Shigong suddenly poked forward and stretched out the horse's head and stretched out to Xue Yufei.
People are crazy and smart, Xue Yufei once fed people crazy and poor horse food, but I didn't expect it to be remembered now. So when I saw Xue Yufei going crazy, I was very affectionate.
At this time, Xue Yufei's tears were actually rolling in her eyes, but when she saw the crazy and cute movements of the people, she burst into tears and laughed, and then wiped the tears that couldn't help but be left with her hands.
"Don't mess around!" Wu Shigong slapped the horse butt who was crazy, and Han Shi, who was following Wu Shigong, immediately stepped forward and took the crazy person away. Wu Shigong didn't care about the mud on his body, lifted the curtain and got into the carriage.
Xue Yufei raised his teary face and looked at Wu Shigong, immediately forgetting his sadness, and took out the handkerchief in his arms in distress, wiping his rain-stained cheeks for Wu Shigong. also said complainingly: "On this rainy day, my husband doesn't have to rush to hurry, look at your wet body." ”
Wu Shigong grabbed Xue Yufei's little hand, grabbed it rudely and kissed it, but this affectionate action immediately made Xue Yufei exclaim, his face immediately turned crimson, and his hand was hurriedly retracted.
Wu Shigong smiled and looked at his wife's shy appearance, took the handkerchief in Xue Yufei's hand, wiped it on his face a few times, and then lay down on the soft couch all of a sudden, closed his eyes and took a deep breath of air with the fragrance of his wife's body, and said freely: "It's good to go home!" ”
These inexplicable words immediately made Xue Yufei's eyes widen, and she said with some food: "Husband, this ...... It's in the carriage, and it's not home yet. ”
Wu Shigong immediately hahadxiao, this little wife is still so innocent and cute! Wu Shigong immediately explained: "Where there is you, that's home." ”
Unexpectedly, this sentence moved Xue Yufei greatly, she couldn't hold back any longer, and immediately threw herself into Wu Shigong's arms crying. Wu Shigong stroked Xue Yufei's back lovingly, and sighed in his heart: This little wife of his own, after marriage, got together with him less and separated more, and pulled his eldest son alone, it really hurt her!
Outside the carriage, Mama Qiu coughed softly. Xue Yufei immediately restrained his gaffe. She cleaned up her body and continued, "Come in!" ”
Mama Qiu lifted a crack in the curtain, put in a set of clean clothes, and said, "These are the new clothes that Miss brought to my uncle, and they are all made by Miss herself." Uncle, let's change it quickly. Don't mess with the cold. Then Mama Qiu immediately withdrew very interestingly
Wu Shigong smiled and said to Xue Yufei: "You think very well. But I'm in the wild all year round, so I'm not so delicate. Speaking of this, Wu Shigong's eyes glanced at Xue Yufei's expression, and he seemed to be a little worried, so he immediately changed his words, "But I always have to listen to the words of the lady." Thank you, lady! ”
Hearing Wu Shigong speak in the tone of the stage, Xue Yufei covered her mouth with her hand, and then she glanced at Wu Shigong and said, "Husband is just going to be weird." ”
Wu Shigong laughed a few more times, and while changing into new clothes, he said to Xue Yufei: "The only pity is that I didn't see Lin'er." How old has he been? ”
"It's all grown here!" Xue Yufei gestured with his hand on his chest, "It's just skin every day, and the concubine can't control him!" But he's also quite pitiful, he just thinks about his father every day, and he thinks about being with you. You...... What do you see? Xue Yufei immediately covered his chest with his hands.
Just now, Wu Shigong stared at Xue Yufei's towering. Seeing that Wu Shigong was a little nervous, Xue Yufei was a little scared, and she begged: "Don't be here, let the outside hear that there will be jokes." ”
Wu Shigong raised his eyebrows and said, "Who dares?" It's all my people out there, who dares to chew their tongues? To be honest, I just farted and no one dared to say it stinks. ”
Wu Shigong's rude words made Xue Yufei frown with some disgust. After hesitating for a while, Xue Yufei said: "The husband has been messing with those fighting men, and the concubine is frightened every day. Let's let Hou Ye think of a way to transfer his husband back to the capital as soon as possible. ”
Hearing this topic again, Wu Shigong had no choice but to haha: "The emperor's order is hard to disobey!" Let's talk about it! Anyway, you'll stay when you come this time. Don't give me two, no! Three, no! Four ......"
Xue Yufei's small fist immediately slapped Wu Shigong a few times, but her eyebrows were full of spring, and she was unbelievably beautiful.
Wu Shigong also knew that this was not a suitable place, and then he lay down again and said, "Wait here for a while." I took a concubine from Francois in Dengzhou, and when her carriage arrived, we didn't go with the team. ”
"According to the rules, the Runing army is not allowed to enter the city, and it is difficult to go with them. We hurried home, and when we got home, we had a good rest at home! (To be continued......)
