Chapter 57: Suspicious
Out of the palace, Lou Zhan got into the carriage and went back to the Taishi Mansion, looking out through the car window, and saw the lively Huangcheng Street.
Brightly lit and bustling.
In front of the paving, a little child with a small hair tie and a red belly pocket led the hand of the young woman. The young woman squatted down and handed the child a string of sugar gourds in her hand, and when the little child saw the rest of the sugar gourds in the woman's hand, he greedily stretched out his hand, shook his chubby body, and cried out in a wow.
"I want it! I'm going to! Sugar gourd ......"
The child's voice was immature, mixed in the voices of many people, and poured into Lou Zhan's ears together, but it was still so beautiful.
Seeing this scene, the corners of Lou Zhan's mouth rose, and he couldn't help but think of Yirong in his heart, and gradually, Yirong became the young woman, and the child became their future child......
The carriage continued steadily.
The figure of a little girl flickered by, thin, and her face was full of innocence and cheerfulness, like his little wife.
In his eyes, the little wife will always be innocent and immaculate, and she will always be so beautiful.
Can this beauty last?
At that time, will the person still be the same person?
Lou Zhan retracted his gaze and sat quietly in the dark carriage.
He in the carriage was so out of place with the many people outside the carriage.
The night wind is cold, and the moon is especially bright tonight, but from time to time it is quietly hidden by dark clouds.
The carriage finally stopped.
In front of the Taishi Mansion, two family members wore dusty clothes and wide hats, and stood guard there with their hands down.
Big red lanterns hung on both sides, illuminating the entrance to the Taishi's Mansion.
Lou Zhan got out of the carriage and walked up the stairs.
"Uncle, you're back."
"Uncle, you can come back."
When the two family members saw him come back, they all had expressions on their faces for the rest of their lives.
Lou Zhan said: "But what happened in the house? ”
Both of them shook their heads and said, "It's nothing, it's okay for you to come back." ”
When I entered the courtyard, I felt that it was silent inside, but the lights and candles were on.
Pushing open a door, I saw Yi Rong sitting under the candlelight, with tears on her face, and a pair of red eyes on her porcelain white face.
"Husband!"
Yirong stood up abruptly and ran towards him.
Lou Zhan subconsciously spread his chest to greet her warm hug.
"You're back, I thought you were left in the palace by the emperor......"
The little wife's sudden enthusiasm made him puzzled, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, Rong'er?" ”
At the door just now, the abnormality of the two family members made him suspicious, and now the little wife is also so nervous, and I heard her say that she was afraid that she would be left in the palace by the emperor, why is this?
"Husband, as soon as I came back from Ci'an Temple, I heard the people below say, you were summoned to the palace by the emperor, I am afraid that I will condemn you, I wonder if the emperor has done anything to you?"
Yirong looked him up and down, and when she saw that he was safe and sound, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Amitabha." ”
Lou Zhan laughed at her: "Rong'er, how did you become a nun when you went to the temple, a mouth full of Amitabha." ”
As soon as he said this, the two little maids who stayed in the room to accompany Yirong suddenly covered their mouths and snickered, it turned out that the uncle still had such a side, the uncle in front of the lady was a gentle and considerate uncle, an uncle who knew how to make jokes, and was no longer the cold-blooded general who did not smile in the street rumors.
That's the power of love.
The two little maids who were just beginning to fall in love were envious.
If only they could marry a man as affectionate as their uncle.
Yirong clenched her fists and gently pounded him in the chest, while she blushed and buried her head.
Lou Zhan glanced at the two maids who were still standing in the room secretly watching the show, and the two suddenly understood, resigned one after another, and thoughtfully brought the door to the door, leaving the husband and wife.
"Rong'er, isn't it good husband, what can the emperor do to me. The task given to me by the emperor has not yet been completed, but there has been progress on the side of the Lin Kingdom, and today I received a secret report from the uncle of the Lin Kingdom, their emperor has agreed to my request, and our plan will soon reach a critical time. ”
The husband's affairs have progressed, and Yirong is happy for him in her heart, but she thinks about the second half of the plan. The husband was to be ordered to go on an expedition to the north. Although she knew that these were all fake, they were acting, in order to lure the former to the bait, but she was also very worried-
There are masters among the remnants of the previous dynasty, and even people as powerful as the eldest princess have been taken captive.
If the husband meets a master, will he be injured?
Although it is said that the monarch's orders must be obeyed, it is difficult for Yirong not to worry about such a dangerous thing and not think about it.
"Rong'er, don't worry, you have to trust your husband." As if seeing her worries, Lou Zhan couldn't help but take her hand and comforted her.
Feeling the heat passed on to her by her husband, as well as his gentleness, Yirong's nervousness finally eased.
After a long time, Yirong nodded.
The two little maids waited outside bored, and it was not until the lights in the master's room went out that they went back to the house where they lived. The nurse had left the Taishi Mansion, and there was no intimate attendant to take care of her in the courtyard, so Ying'er and Yan'er moved to live in the couple's courtyard.
To the atrium, the light is sprinkled like a promise, and everything is silent.
Taiwei's Mansion is located in a secluded place.
When Lou Zhan and two guards found the mansion of Taiwei Chen Song, they were closed.
The vermilion gate is a little mottled, and on the courtyard wall, there are still traces of withered vines, and there are no weeds growing in front of the door, but the quiet and lonely scene in front of the door is obvious.
Taiwei Chen Song is over sixty years old, but he has not yet become a general.
I heard in the early years that this Taiwei was a veteran hero of the new dynasty, and when he was young, he was also a figure who fought in all directions, and he was a general of the previous dynasty, but unfortunately he took refuge in the new emperor for some reason.
Some people say that this lieutenant was also loyal to the previous dynasty, but the emperor of the previous dynasty was incompetent and suspicious by nature, and regarded a loyal minister as a traitor, and even killed his wife under the prodding of the traitor, and beheaded his entire family to show the public. After Chen Song learned about this, he was so angry that he fell ill for a while. Subsequently, he took advantage of the mutiny and took refuge in the old emperor, and the old emperor knew people and was good at his duties, and cherished a brave general like him, and since then the monarch and the ministers have been like fish in water.
This lieutenant is low-key, never likes to show his head or be a guest at a big banquet, and can be said to be a genuine and honest old minister.
And as soon as there was any disturbance in the court, this Taiwei appeared by the emperor's side and loyally protected the lord.
Although the old emperor trusted him, Lord Taiwei never pampered and arrogant, and always kept a low profile, even this mansion was the site he personally chose.
I heard that since his wife was killed, Lord Taiwei has never renewed or taken concubines, and only servants are in the house to take care of, and his life is relatively simple.
Being able to do this kind of thing especially shows Lord Taiwei's heartfelt devotion to the old emperor.
However, Lou Zhan is here today, but he is not here to visit this Qing official.
