Chapter 246: Surprise
Mrs. Yingguo's hands had become slack, which made her realize that she was no longer young, that she could not pull her two great-grandchildren to grow up, and that she did not know if she would be able to withstand another change.
She wanted to refuse, but she knew the concern in Rong Changning's heart.
The cicadas in the courtyard chirped and the silence in the house seemed less lonely, the lotus flower slept in the water tank, closed her ears and did not dare to listen to Mrs. Ying Guo's decision, and the red mother-in-law stood outside the courtyard and began to reflect on whether she was right to tell Rong Changning what Fu Yu said.
In the end, the old lady let out a long sigh: "This is the fate of the Bai family. If I hold on, I can live for a few more years, and if you really want to go, you can go. ”
Rong Changning quickly raised his eyes when he heard this, and saw Mrs. Yingguo's eyes slowly turning red, her hand slowly raised, Aunt Qin hurriedly helped people to walk towards the bed, Mrs. Yingguo turned her back to Rong Changning, and muttered in her mouth: "The soldiers are fast, Ah Yi and their feet are fast, I am afraid that you will not be able to catch up when you go out at this time." After everything at home is taken care of clearly, then you leave. ”
Mrs. Ying Guo walked into the tent step by step, with her back to Rong Changning, so that she could not see the joy and sorrow on Mrs. Ying Guo's face.
After returning to the empty bamboo garden and looking at the sleeping appearance of the two children, Rong Changning realized that the reason why his biological father followed his biological mother was not because he didn't care for himself, but because he loved to follow his life's life.
She reluctantly kissed the two children on the face, and then went to the side to sort out the account books, field deeds, and deeds of the descendants inside and outside the Hou Mansion, and the keys everywhere were sorted out and clearly marked and put in a big box.
couldn't wait to catch up with Bai Chuxi's thoughts, which supported her to stay awake all night. In the morning, when the maid was making water and preparing to dress Rong Changning, she saw her lying on the side of the desk and falling asleep.
Xiaodong Xiaoqiu stood aside, and several people looked at each other, knowing that Rong Changning stayed up all night last night, so they didn't know whether it was better to call her up or not.
Finally, when the red lady came in and saw a few people standing in the distance, she didn't know how to put down the basin in her hand, she cleared her throat and shouted: "What are you doing in a daze?" ”
Rong Changning woke up when he heard the sound, got up from the desk and pressed a long red mark on his face, squinting his eyes and looking outside: "It's dawn?" ”
"Why is the mistress asleep here?" Xiao Dong helped Rong Changning to sit up straight, thinking that she should also have a sore back, so he helped Rong Changning to sit up straight with one hand: "Fortunately, the old lady has saved the housemother from asking for peace in the morning and evening, and we are not in a hurry to go to the backyard, let's go back to bed and doze off for a while." ”
Rong Changning rubbed his eyes and looked at the piles of things on the table: "It just so happens that my mother-in-law is also here, and I have to entrust these things to my mother-in-law after I leave." ”
"You're not taking me?" Granny Hong's eyes widened: "That's not good, that's not good!" ”
"You have to stay in the Hou Mansion to take care of the children and grandmother for me. The things on the account are Aunt Lin, and the affairs of the family are housekeeper Jiang, so I am more relieved that you should stay here. ”
Looking at it, there is no one else who can make Rong Changning dare to entrust his entire net worth. Thinking that Fu Yuren was still in the imperial city, the red mother-in-law had no choice but to nod: "It's okay, when you come back, the grandmother of the Bai family may be taken care of by me to death, you can go with confidence." ”
"Mother-in-law!"
Granny Hong laughed, hugging Rong Changning but reluctant to give up. It's like the same mood when I sent off Juan as a child.
People who are absent-minded can't be retained. After instructing everything at home, he brought a change of clothes and a plate on the road, not even Xiaodong, and was escorted all the way to Fengyang by the people of the Tibetan Fragrance Pavilion through Zhibeixun.
After more than half a month of wind and frost, I don't know how much smoke and dust I ate, and finally arrived at the dome.
Although Yucheng and Fengyang were close together, Rong Changning had never seen such a scorching sun and arrogant wind and sand. Outside the dome pass, there was only a lonely crow singing, and Bai Chuxi had already led the army deep into the desert and touched the station of the Yupu tribe.
Originally, the sky was clear and dark, and the desert suddenly swept up with strong winds, flying sand and rocks everywhere, so that normal people could not walk upright. is so unpredictable and unpredictable, but Bai Chuxi is still determined to surprise and win.
Liang Tao took seven hundred iron horsemen, carrying a few boulders on his body and touched the back of the Yupu military tent, like a god suddenly appeared in front of the servants and servants, the Yupu people didn't know whether they were people or ghosts, and how they crossed the desert like this wind and sand. Frightened, he hurriedly picked up his weapon, but it was too late for anything.
Bai Chuxi led his troops to wait at the boundary of the desert to meet Liang Tao, and it was not until the wind and sand stopped that he saw someone coming out of it.
Seeing that although Liang Tao was disgraced, he still looked happy, Bai Chuxi knew that this battle was done.
Liang Tao carried a bloody long sword and led people out of the smoke and dust: "That group of barbarians looked brave, and they couldn't even lift their pants at the critical moment!" It's really a piece of armor that doesn't leave behind! Call me to the camp next time! ”
Seeing that he was full of interest, Bai Chuxi was afraid that his arrogant army would be defeated, so he didn't say a word with his eyes widened, as if he was unhappy. On the way back, he also looked serious, and when he arrived at the camp tent, he said to Jiang An: "Pass the order, everyone will enjoy a bowl of wine tonight, not much to eat." ”
"Yes."
Hearing this, Liang Tao knew that Bai Chuxi was afraid that he would be complacent, so he didn't have a good face, and he still saw his growth.
Jiang An bumped Liang Tao's shoulder from behind: "Our Hou Ye is like this, never happy with his achievements......"
But before he had walked a few steps, he saw a petite man in white clothes and silver armor standing in front of the door of the big tent.
But after taking two more steps, Bai Chuxi discovered something terrible, he actually saw Rong Changning hook the corners of his mouth and smile and reveal two sweet pear vortices: "Changning?!" ”
I saw Bai Chuxi running away, and rushed over as if he had seen his mother: "Why are you here?!" When did you arrive?! "Come on
He seemed to have found a clear spring in the desert, and excitedly hugged Rong Changning into his arms: "Why didn't anyone notice me?" How did you come here on your own? You haven't rested all the way, right? It's not a good place to rest......"
Rong Changning shook his head helplessly, thinking that there were still people behind him who looked at him and gently pushed Bai Chuxi away: "Didn't you just come back?" Aren't you tired of chattering? ”
I saw Bai Chuxi showing off like a child: "I just took Liang Tao and Jiang An out and won a big battle!" ”
Jiang An, who had just said 'Hou Ye is never good at making great achievements', subconsciously touched his mouth, only feeling that what he had just said was a little hot.
"Really?!" Rong Changning wiped the sand from the corner of his eyebrows: "It is said that the third rank official of the Chaocheng Gatehouse, you win the battle best, and Jiang An can also worship the marquis with you in the future, I will tell him a good daughter-in-law." ”
The people around were laughing when they heard this, only Jiang An blushed and waved his hand: "Don't make fun of me!" ”
Bai Chuxi waved his hand, signaled those people to go down and rest, and waited for everyone to leave before taking Rong Changning back to the big tent: "There are no women in this place, how inconvenient it is for you to live here." ”
"I cook when you fight, I beat the drum when you fight, what's not okay?" Rong Changning raised his face, and looked at Bai Chuxi willfully: "Grandmother has already responded, don't make trouble for me." ”
"Me?" Bai Chuxi pointed at himself: "Where am I looking for trouble?" ”
"I'm going to take care of it this time, don't bring back a princess or an orphan girl from Beisai, steal my dowry and rob my husband."
Speaking of this, Bai Chuxi didn't dare to refute anymore, so he could only carve his brows and affirm very seriously: "Madam is right!" That's more than worth the cost! ”
Rong Changning was about to reach out to unload Bai Chuxi's battle armor, but he didn't want him to hide backwards: "No." ”
"Why? You should shake off the sand and dirt on your body if you don't wash it, right? ”
Bai Chuxi held Rong Changning's shoulder and patiently explained: "This is a battlefield, not a side place, so naturally you can't do what you want." What if I take off my armor and the enemy calls for battle? Such a life-threatening thing is naturally a moment to save a moment. ”
"Oh." Rong Changning nodded and pressed Bai Chuxi on the side of the couch: "That...... You have a good rest, I'll go cook. ”
The person was just about to leave, but he was pulled back into his arms by Bai Chuxi and sat on his lap: "Don't worry, you are not the one who cooks in the barracks." This place is full of soldiers, and a beautiful woman like you stays here I don't know how many wolves in the desert are thinking with blue eyes, so you have to follow me in the future. I'll have you sent back in a few days. ”
"What for?!" Rong Changning was immediately unhappy, and pouted: "I'm here to stay with you!" ”
"What if I send troops? What if I don't come back? ”
"Then I'll follow too, I've also been practicing martial arts with Uncle Liang since I was a child!"
“……”
The two looked at each other, no one refused to admit defeat, Bai Chuxi sighed lightly: "The old and young in the family are waiting for you to take care of them, what are you messing about?" ”
"I've also arranged things at home. If you don't spare your life, I will naturally spare my life too, but when your son is raised by others, he will live the same life as you. If the long house is defeated, it will be defeated. ”
"You ......"
She always told Bai Chuxi that she didn't know how to reply, although she wanted her to stay, she still couldn't help but have a lot of concerns.
But looking at Rong Changning's bright eyes at the moment, Bai Chuxi suddenly thought of something, and never mentioned the matter of calling Rong Changning back to the imperial city.
On the second day, Bai Chuxi took her to stand on the arrow tower and pointed to the black pressure in the distance: "Did you see it?" ”
"The soldiers and horses of the Yupu clan?"
"Yesterday we attacked their tents, and today they are back. Because the desert climate is strange and natural disasters are impermanent, what they are best at is to escape, wander, set up camp at any time in a difficult place, get up and run away at any time. Even though we had a good harvest last night, it didn't hurt their vitality. ”
"And what about today?"
"Today, I will lend them the morale of our soldiers again. Whether this battle is fought beautifully depends on Madame. ”
Rong Changning turned back suspiciously: "Me? You're the manager, what do you rely on me? ”
Bai Chuxi smiled mysteriously, pulled Rong Changning downstairs, and shouted Jiang An: "Jiang An, lead two horses!" ”
"Yes!"
