Chapter 118: Little Brother of the East (I)
Lin Yinglu returned to the Yuling Tomb of Chu State all the way, and finally saw his father, at this time, he was hugged tightly by his father who had been absent for a long time, and his heart was happy and excited, and he also hugged King Sheng tightly, and replied: "Mother is fine, but I miss my father very much." ”
King Sheng's tears fell on Lin Ying's clothes, he forcibly endured the turbulent emotions in his heart, and said, "Xiao Ying, go home with your father!" So he secretly wiped away his tears behind Lin Ying's back, and pulled Lin Ying to the house.
The twelve or thirteen-year-old boy standing beside Dongfang Yu kept looking at Shu'er, Lin Ying, Qing Yu, and Yi Feng, and suddenly asked: "Lord Wang, the little lord was only five years old when he left the Shengwang Mansion, and now that eleven years have passed, how can the prince recognize him as the little lord?" ”
Shu'er glanced at the young man helplessly. She felt that the child looked the same as the white-clothed Xiaoqing beside King Sheng, as if the white-clothed Xiaoqing was carved out of a mold. Could it be that the white-clothed prime minister is the rumored number one strategist next to King Sheng, Dongfang Yu? There is a saying in Chudi: "The seven kings are fighting for royal power, it is better to have an oriental dialect." "It can be said that every victory that King Sheng has fought in the past ten years has had this white-clothed strategist on the side. Shu'er thought about it again, and suddenly recalled that when he was nine years old, he seemed to have seen this person in King Sheng's mansion. On the eve of the collapse of the great Chu Kingdom, a man in white brought a carriage, prepared everything, and watched Lin Ying, Su Qin, Song Yun, Yan Xiao and Shu'er leave the Shengwang Mansion and go to the Chen State to escape the rebellion of the Seven Kings. They traveled unimpeded, chariots, horses, and boats one after another, and even the guides who were far away in Shu were arranged early. Is it all thanks to the handsome and dashing white-clothed prime minister in front of him?
Shu'er glanced at Dongfang Yu curiously, and Dongfang Yu was also looking at her curiously.
Shu'er smiled at the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy and said, "This little master, we've never met, right?" But I can see at a glance that you are the son of the adult next to me. Take a closer look, are His Royal Highness King Sheng and the little lord also like an old man and a young man carved out of a mold? ”
The young man was about to go to verify, but saw that King Sheng had already dragged Lin Ying into the palace. The backs of the two are not quite alike. King Sheng has been fighting for many years, with a tall posture and vigorous steps, while Lin Ying is thin and slightly hunchbacked. The young man looked at Shu'er and asked, "Who are you?" ”
Shu'er thought happily, I expect you, the son of the first strategist of the Chu State, are as smart as promised, and I can't guess who my sister is! So Mingmei smiled and said, "You can't guess who I am, but I can guess who you are." ”
The young man looked disdainful: "If you can't even guess who I am, you're going to make people laugh off their big teeth!" ”
Shu'er joked: "Dongfang boy, my teeth have been saved, but I don't know if your teeth are strong?" ”
The young man was fighting with Shu'er, and Dongfang Yu, who was standing on the side, said gently: "Su'er, who is she, let my father guess?" ”
Dongfang glared at Shu'er unconvincedly, and nodded to his father for help.
Dongfang Yu said with a pleasant face: "This girl, are you the little girl who went from Linjiang to Yuling with the two sisters of the princess to attend the little lord's birthday banquet?" ”
The child is convinced by oral administration. Dongfang Yu not only saw through his female disguise as a man at a glance, but also saw his childhood appearance through the passing years, and he deserved to be the first strategist of the Chu State! I don't know, who is better than Dongfang Adult's memory and Xiaoying's memory?
Shu'er made a junior salute to Dongfang Yu and said, "My lord has good eyesight! Little girl Yan Shu. Then he pointed to Qing Yu and Yi Feng, and introduced: "This is Big Brother Qing Yu and Big Brother Yi Feng, in short, they are the sword idiots sent by the King of Shu to keep an eye on my sword." ”
Dongfang Yu smiled slightly and said, "It turned out to be a distinguished guest of the Shu Kingdom." The three escorted the little lord back to Chu from afar, and please follow me into the mansion. So he turned and walked towards the house, and couldn't help but look back deeply at the little girl named Shu'er. She looks familiar. Can there be such similar people in the world? The same wise eyes, the same beautiful appearance, the same petite body, the same boldness!
Lin Ying followed King Sheng into the study, and the father and son talked for a long time behind closed doors until the evening.
Dongfang Yu, who was originally discussing military affairs with King Sheng in King Sheng's mansion, of course understood that no military affairs were more important than his son, whom King Sheng hadn't seen for eleven years, so he instructed the housekeeper on behalf of King Sheng to arrange guest rooms for Shu'er, Qing Yu and Yifeng, and he quietly left with Dongfang Shou.
Shu'er knew that Lin Ying and King Sheng's father and son would definitely have a long conversation in the study, so she ended up with half a day of leisure and slept in the guest room until dinner.
King Sheng fought for many years, the mansion was empty, in addition to the palace guards, there was only one housekeeper, two girls and two small servants. The once luxurious Shengwang Mansion is now frugal and the meals are bland. Dinner was a homely meal, and although Lin Ying was a lord, she was still wearing the same style of clothes they had bought in Linjiang as Shu'er. Shu'er could see that Lin Ying and King Sheng's eyes were a little red and swollen, and their father and son were separated by mountains and rivers, and they would finally be reunited, and they would definitely have to hug their heads and cry. She couldn't help but wonder, if one day, she could find her biological father, and when father and daughter met, would they hug their heads and cry? After thirteen years of wandering, she has long lost the confidence to find her biological father, and she can't help but bow her head and smile bitterly at this time.
Lin Ying looked at Shu'er, and was very entangled in her heart, should she tell her father that Shu'er's sister is her aunt's adopted daughter? With the feelings of his father and aunt, in this way, Sister Shu'er will be taken care of by the forces of Shengwangfu in Chu State. But Sister Shu'er, since you didn't choose to recognize your aunt when you were in the Song Palace, it proves that you don't want to be confined to the princess status of Raushzi. I don't even like my own identity as a lord, so why mention your princess status again? Sister Shu'er, your secret, with me, will always be the safest.
Lin Ying didn't tell King Sheng the details of Shu'er, so King Sheng still thought that Shu'er was just the adopted daughter that Yan Xiao and Song Yun picked up when they were in Linjiang, and on the way to Chen Guo for refuge, they worshiped Lin Ying as sisters and brothers. During the meal, King Sheng didn't say much to Shu'er, but only asked Shu'er and Lin Ying about their business experience in Chen State.
After dinner, Dongfang Yu did not come to discuss military affairs, but his son Dongfang Yu returned to Shengwang's mansion happily. King Sheng and Dongfang Yu often go in and out together on weekdays, Dongfang Shou has spent half of his time in King Sheng's Mansion since he was a child, and everyone in King Sheng's Mansion knows this young man and lets him come and go freely.
Dongfang Shu gave a bow to King Sheng and the others, sat down beside Shu'er, pointed to her sword curiously, and said, "Sister Yan, your sword is so beautiful!" I wanted to ask you when you came at noon, but my father took me home to do something, and I finally had time to relax, so I came to look for you at this time, can you lend me this sword?
