Chapter Ninety-One: The Journey
At the urging of the Seven Princes, the people of Honglu Temple finally set off half a month later.
Chen's tears spilled on the ten-mile long pavilion outside the city, and the seven princes coaxed her according to their temperament, and when the auspicious time for departure arrived, they turned over and rode away.
All the way to Xiaoxing overnight, along the way the government vied with each other to set up a banquet to welcome, the officials of Honglu Temple are used to seeing, thinking that the Seven Princes have never seen the world, so they intend to show their official authority in front of him, and the Seven Princes do not mind, advance and retreat politely, never lose their words and deeds, and get along well with them.
This was done for three days, stopped for two days, and only after a month was it able to meet with Qin Daochuan's capital in Shu County, Jiangdufu.
Seeing Qin Daochuan, the Seventh Prince finally complained: "I really served some people, how can I have such a big appetite when I eat three meals a day like that?" ”
Qin Daochuan said with a smile: "They are called prescient, you will know in a few days." ”
Qin Daochuan saw that there were female dependents in the team, and asked the Seven Princes to find out that it was a personal girl of Honglu Temple, Qin Daochuan found an opportunity, found Honglu Temple, and told him that this trip was to Tufan, once out of Shu County, it was the Gobi, only yellow sand, stones, there would be no home, and they were all flat land, there was nowhere to hide, eating, drinking, and Lasa were all outdoors, and it was really inconvenient for the female dependents to accompany them.
Honglu Siqing said that he had also brought female dependents in the past, but Qin Daochuan said that it was autumn now, which was the dry season of Tufan, and there was little rain, so he needed to bring more water to meet the needs of the group, and insisted that he could not bring female dependents.
Honglu Siqing reluctantly left the little lady beside him in Shu County, and the other officials saw that Siqing had let go, so they had to act as an example.
The eyes that looked at Qin Daochuan were full of complaints, and Qin Daochuan didn't pay attention to them.
Sure enough, a few days after departure, as soon as he entered the Gobi Desert, the water became precious, fortunately, Qin Daochuan prepared a guide in advance, and he could always find a water source or a small market every few days, otherwise the smell of sweat on his body could be smelled from a few miles away.
The officials of the Honglu Temple complained bitterly, sitting on the camel every day and screaming that the back hurt and the butt hurt, the Seven Princes were naturally no exception, seeing Qin Daochuan they were much more stable, so they asked for advice in private, Qin Daochuan told him to relax all over the body, and it would be much better to swing the body along the direction of the camel, if he was sleepy, he would tie himself to the saddle and sleep for a while, although it was still bitter, but at least he would not feel that the day was like a year, and the Seven Princes did it for a day, but they did not tell those people in the Honglu Temple, in order to retaliate against them for their contempt a few days ago. Qin Daochuan only looked at it in his eyes, and there was no friendship anyway, more things were better than less.
Qin Dong and the others finally did not accompany them, and were intimidated by Qin Daochuan to return to Juntun, after all, they will always be sad to be complained by the girls in the future.
Qin Daochuan, who accompanied him this time, re-selected more than 100 people in the Qin Family Army's personal guards, all of whom were men who grew up in the north, either on camels or horses since childhood, looking at the bitter Beijing officials, all of them were expressionless, but their eyes were full of contempt.
Qin Daochuan sat on the camel, thinking that Qin Nan should have arrived in the capital at this time, then Ruoshu should also read his letter, because it was Qin Nan who sent the letter, Qin Daochuan wrote a lot of words in the letter that he would not normally write, imagining the appearance of Ruoshu reading the letter, Qin Daochuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. Looking up at the endless blue sky, I thought that there should be no such blue sky in the capital at this time, and Ruoshu should be better off this month.
Ruoshu was indeed reading the letter at this time, frowning slightly, and finally bit his lower lip and spit out three words from between his teeth, "Damn." After speaking, he felt unlucky, and hurriedly said four times: Amitabha, good luck.
Qin Daochuan first told the details of the siege of the royal court, and couldn't help but mention: Princess Junya's temperament is somewhat similar to yours.
Then he couldn't sleep in Jiangdu Mansion every night, and how he missed Ruoshu on the paper in detail, and even wrote out very outrageous words.
In the end, he finally mentioned a few children, and said that he had already named the six sons, the boy was called Zhongyuan, and the girl was Xian Ning, which meant that he would rather be able to stay by Ruoshu's side at this time and never leave for a moment.
Ruo Shu thought to himself, is the next thing to call Zhongli and Xianke, and he was stunned as soon as the thought came out, the ancients broke through the mouth, and it seems that there will be a few.
Thinking about it, he wrote this matter into a letter to Qin Daochuan, and after writing it, he remembered that Qin Daochuan asked her not to reply to the letter, because he would not return to Mocheng when he came back from Tufan, but would return to Beijing from Shu County with the Seven Princes, and he would not stop on the way.
Qin Daochuan's letter mentioned that it would take at least three months for this trip to Tufan, and then Ruoshu was afraid that the confinement would be over, although he was like an arrow, but he could only put everything in his heart, and repeatedly told Ruoshu to remember that he was uncomfortable to go to Xu Qiantong, not to be careless, and the safety of mother and son (daughter) was the first.
In the end, it is still explained that if Shu can't go out of the house, don't care about the chaos outside, just wait for childbirth with peace of mind.
After Qin Daochuan left, the old lady closed the door of Xuanwei Hall, saying that she wanted to keep Qin Daochuan safe, and no one was allowed to disturb her.
Ruoshu listened to it and was noncommittal, since Lan Xuan's incident, it was even more difficult for her to go to Xuanwei Hall, and the old lady didn't seem to mind, and every time something happened, she sent someone to pass the word.
In the left courtyard, He Shiqing was uncomfortable, and Mrs. He invited her several times, but she excused herself on the grounds of poor health. Qin Daochuan's words before leaving made a special trip to the left courtyard kept echoing in her heart, "If there is any change before I return to the house, even if the emperor condemns me, I will definitely give you a letter of resignation, and you have committed at least one of the seven rules." ”
Childless! These two words entangled her like a poisonous snake, but she still didn't want to lose Qin Daochuan's last warmth, at least he was still willing to talk to him calmly and quietly, at least he was still sitting side by side with him at the palace banquet before he left, at least she was still his wife, at least she was the one who was ordered to be the second grade, at least she was ranked behind Qin Daochuan's name on all invitations He Shiqing, at least she was the one who got the title of Mrs. Qin, she couldn't lose these, although her father and mother said she shouldn't be afraid, But she was still afraid, she felt that Qin Daochuan would definitely be able to do it, as long as she really had something wrong in his hands, so she couldn't make mistakes, at least obviously not.
Before Shu came to the basin, Qingzhou Lu's territory was suddenly broken into by the local Xiang army, saying that there were thieves who had escaped and wanted to enter to search, He Sanye naturally refused and was injured, and half of Qingzhou's guards were injured.
Ruo Jiuqi and the secret guards have been busy inciting outside, because the territory is wide and scattered on all sides, even the secret guards who have not left the division have been brought out, and when the accident occurred, in addition to the guards brought by Lu Sanye, only the old and weak women and children were left in Qingzhou.
Great-grandfather and the others knew that Ruoshu was about to give birth in the past few days, so they hid the matter, and quickly passed the news to Du Jiuqi.
Ruoshu's birth went well, and he was still a boy, so he was naturally named Zhongyuan.
Lan Zhi went to invite Xu Qiantong in advance, he came, but he was much colder, Lan Zhi felt strange, thinking that he was only forced by Qin Daochuan's pressure to come, and he was reluctant, so when he returned the gift, he asked Ruoshu to increase the amount than before, and when the box was sent to the medicine garden, Xu Qiantong happened to be there, and the box was accepted, but he was not discharged from the hospital to thank him.
Because this child is the sixth in the family and the fourth son in the house, the old lady's reaction was quite flat, and she only told Liu's mother to come and greet her, looked at the child, and left.
Xu is child has a sense in his heart, he is very well-behaved, he doesn't cry or make trouble, he eats and sleeps, he sleeps and eats, Lan Zhi said that this is the easiest month.
Ruoshu likes him to sleep next to him, and always says that he is a little like his grandmother, his eyebrows and eyes are crooked when he smiles, and it warms his heart at first glance.
He Shiqing listened to the news of Ruoshu's birth, bit her lip and turned purple, and secretly said that God is really eyeless, favoring one over the other to such a point.
Lan Xuan also gave birth in the second month, she was a girl, and Qin Nan named her Xile, hoping that she would be safe and happy. Lan Xuan was reluctant at first, Lan Zhi persuaded her that it was easy to feed, and besides, how festive this name was, it made people happy when she heard it, so Lan Xuan stopped caring about it.
Qin Nan really took care of their mother and daughter in everything, Lan Zhi only needed to say hello every day, and when she came back, she praised Qin Nan in front of Ruoshu rarely, and after finishing speaking, she remembered that Qin Daochuan was in the house, and she hurriedly closed her voice and went out under the pretext.
Ruoshu was lying on the bed, looking at the empty doorway after Lan Zhi left, and felt funny, in fact, she no longer had the original apprehension now, and she was used to Qin Daochuan not being by her side all the time.
Maybe she never had too many thoughts about Qin Daochuan, whether he was by her side or not, she didn't have an obvious feeling.
He's not there, she's business as usual, he's here, she's business as usual.
All this seems to have originated from the night in the cave room, and the heart that was cold that night has never warmed up.
She didn't even think how good Qin Daochuan was to her, he was just no longer as strict as when they first met, and he was much more kind to him, but the shopkeepers in Qingzhou did the same to her, and even respected her more.
To say that the two of them get along together, she feels that she is more relaxed when she talks with Du Jiuqi, and Du Jiuqi will never put pressure on her, as long as she says it, he will definitely do it, and there is no discount in the slightest.
That kind of sense of steadiness is something that Qin Daochuan doesn't have, although she never said it, but she knows that Du Jiuqi will never betray her, not to mention that she has already let him go, and helped him work hard towards what he wants and wants, and he will definitely not turn his back on himself in the future, after all, who wouldn't be tempted by Qingzhou's secret guard's big belongings?
It would be nice if he were his brother, and he wouldn't have to carry the growing and higher mountain of Qingzhou alone, but unfortunately, everyone has their own ambitions, and the family business left by his grandmother can only cheer up and protect it.
Looking down and seeing Zhongyuan spitting bubbles, Ruoshu said softly: "Yuan'er, will you help your mother when you grow up?" ”
Zhongyuan grinned when he saw Ruoshu talking to him, a familiar voice, a familiar breath.
Ruoshu teased him and had a lot of fun.
Everything else was left behind by her, even the melancholy just now.
