Chapter 160: Deep Love
Beijing, Xie Shangshu Mansion.
Mrs. Shao raised her hand cautiously, and when she looked at the complicated patterns in the white jade incense burner with satisfaction, the little girl outside spread the word that Xie Shangshu was back.
Mrs. Shao ignored it, took the lit incense stick from the girl's hand, and approached the incense seal in the incense burner.
Xie Shangshu entered the house, walked behind Mrs. Shao, watched her carefully light the corner of the incense seal, sniffed it, and smiled: "This is your new incense?" Added cypress branches? ”
"Well, it's said that the cypress branch can reach the heavens." Mrs. Shao handed the incense stick to the girl, facing the green smoke of the incense burner, clasped her hands together, and looked pious.
"Is this a peace charm? Worried about Aze? Seeing that Mrs. Shao finished praying, Xie Shangshu looked at the pattern in the incense burner and asked.
"Hmm." Mrs. Shao's voice was low, revealing deep worry.
"You are too careful, you think too much about everything, you worry too much. Besides, this peace charm is a Taoist thing, what are you...... Woman's home. ”
Xie Shangshu shook his head while laughing, and caressed Mrs. Shao's shoulder with pity.
"Don't worry, this battle has been prepared since the day the emperor ascended the throne.
The first emperor, the emperor, two generations of Ming monarchs, from the first emperor possessed the capital, on the light taxation, the great prosperity of agriculture, recuperation, the last 20 years, and almost stopped the war.
The current national strength, even if the north and the south fight at the same time, can support at least a year.
Now, Huo Shuai is only defending, and even the troops are being transferred south, and the only thing that the imperial court wants to support is Aze.
Aze was in charge of logistics, and it was the prince who personally dispatched it.
The war is fought with national strength and logistics baggage, you can rest assured, Aze's battle will definitely be a big victory, and at worst, it will not drag on for three or five months.
Aze used soldiers, and even the emperor was full of praise when he mentioned it.
You don't have to worry too much. ”
"Well," Mrs. Shao put her head on Xie Shangshu's shoulder, hummed low and softly, and sighed again after a moment, "I'm worried about Ah Ran." ”
"She's behind Aze, with Aze, she's fine, you're always worried too much." Xie Shangshu gently stroked Mrs. Shao's back.
"Women are not the same as men, if women can be half as strong as your men, what else do I have to worry about?
If I could have spoken, I would never have let her follow Aze in the first place.
I'm scared if she has a ...... What should Azeko do?
These days, I always have nightmares when I think about these ......
I'm scared. ”
Madame Shao's tears fell.
"Don't be afraid, it's going to be fine, how can it be okay? Now is not when we were back then, there is a court behind Aze, there is really something wrong, it is just to retreat to Xiangyang.
It's not that we were at that time, there was no way to advance, and there was no way to retreat.
You can rest assured. ”
Xie Shangshu comforted softly.
After a while, Mrs. Shao whispered worriedly, "I want to go to Xiangyang, I heard that there is a Taoist in Xiangyang with great powers, I want to invite him to ......"
"Xiangyang is thousands of miles away, how can you say that you can go, you have always been sick and weak, and relax, you are so worried, it is useless with Aze, but it is your body and bones, how can you stand it?
I'll come back early in the evening and accompany you to the Great Xiangguo Temple to incense, okay? ”
Seeing Mrs. Shao nodding slowly, Xie Shangshu comforted her softly for a while before going out.
Seeing Xie Shangshu away, Mrs. Shao stood under the porch, came out of the sky for a long time, and ordered Mama Ping to come in.
Mama Ping entered the upper room, and the maids and mothers-in-law standing in the upper room had already withdrawn, and Mrs. Shao sat on the couch, lowered her eyes and finished sipping half a cup of tea, before raising her eyes to look at Mama Ping.
Mama Ping bowed her head to meet Mrs. Shao's gaze.
"These days, I always have nightmares."
Mrs. Shao's voice was low.
"Aze has followed you since he was a child, you know his temper best, that temperament, exactly the same as his father, looks ruthless, in fact......
Alas, if it weren't for being too affectionate, why wouldn't you be trapped in Arun and couldn't get out? Back then, it was our Xie family, how many children were hurt?
Alas, these days, I'm so scared, in case, Ah Ran has a case, what should Aze do? ”
Mrs. Shao's eyes were full of tears.
"These days, I have nightmares every night, and I don't dare to tell his father."
"Madame relax, the prince is auspicious, and so is the princess." Mama Ping comforted.
"These useless words ......"
Mrs. Shao wiped the tears that flowed down.
"I want to think about it, do you remember when you accompanied me to pray for blessings before I got engaged to Aze and his father?"
"Remember! Why don't you remember, that Bai Daoye, he is really like a fairy! said that the relationship between the lady and the lord will definitely be successful, and it is really done, what is really said! ”
"Well, Bai Daochang has an apprentice, surnamed Wu, and now he is settled in Liuyunguan outside Xiangyang City, you know how we prayed for blessings that time, you go to Xiangyang for me, find Wu Daochang, and ask him how Bai Daochang is now, if you can ask Bai Daochang to pray for Ah Ran, it would be best if you ......"
Madame Shao sighed.
"Now it can't be considered peaceful, if you can't find Bai Daochang, ask Wu Daochang to pray for Ah Ran, I heard that Wu Daochang has already obtained the true inheritance of Bai Daochang."
"What about the prince?"
"You don't have to pray for Aze, as long as Aze is good, Aze will be well, I'm only worried about Aze, if she has a case, Aze is only afraid of ......"
Mrs. Shao paused, teary-eyed.
"I'm afraid that when I hear the letter, I'm going crazy."
"Yes, I'll go pack up, I'll leave early tomorrow morning, don't worry, Madame, I will definitely find two Taoist chiefs to pray for the princess, the prince and the princess have a great life, Madame rest assured."
Mama Ping answered in a row, comforted her twice, and then withdrew, ready to leave.
……………………
Li Ran was awakened by a gust of cold wind, sat up, and frightened Xie Ze, who was tiptoeing close to the bed, to take a step back, and said with a smile: "It's me." ”
"You're back, how are you, like a thief."
Li Ran heard the voice, leaned down and sat forward.
"They said you slept late yesterday, and I wanted to come in quietly, stay by the side, and wait for you to wake up, but I didn't expect to wake you up."
Xie Ze took off his coat and sat next to Li Ran.
"I'm shallow, and I wake up at the slightest movement." After a pause, Li Ran smiled and said, "Not like this when you're here." ”
"Well, sleep a little longer?" Xie Ze hugged Li Ran, and his voice was vague.
………… 10,000 words omitted............
The sun had already risen, and Zi Ji checked the hot water in the clean room again, and went to the small kitchen to check again.
The small kitchen had already made breakfast again, and Zi Qi looked at it carefully, pointed to a few snacks, and ordered to make it again.
By the time Li Ran and Xie Ze got up and packed up for breakfast, they were already three shots a day.
After breakfast, Xie Ze looked comfortable leaning on the couch.
Li Ran gave him a cup of tea. "When are you leaving?"
"One more hour." Xie Ze glanced at the drip next to him.
"How far is your camp from here?" Li Ran also glanced at the drip, and an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
"It's just outside the city, and it's here. I'm going to Hou Li's army in a moment. Xie Ze motioned for Li Ran to sit next to him.
"Going to war?"
"We're waiting for a while, we're waiting for the letter from the north, they're about waiting too, but it should be soon." Xie Ze smiled.
"They attacked Cao County? Test? ”
"Well, Cao County burned down half of the city, but fortunately, everyone escaped. Your flag is well raised. ”
Li Ran heard Xie Ze's last sentence and let out a low voice, "It's really for me, for you?" What do you want to test? ”
"Well, your identity is not ordinary, the people of Shudi, especially those who are elderly scholars, respect your bloodline very much, Qi Yi knows that you are coming with me, and it is only natural to send someone to test it."
Xie Ze avoided the sentence that rushed at him.
"Xiao Wu said that Shu has also used his talents and abilities over the years, lightly taxed and lightly served, and recuperated, saying that Qi Yi has been training for many years, and this battle is not easy to fight."
Li Ran thought about An Xiaorui's introduction to Shu Di and Qi Yi, the coach.
"Well, so can't wait any longer. You just take care of yourself, don't worry about that, I'm here. ”
"Okay, then you don't have to worry about me, I'm sure I can protect myself, no matter when." Li Ran solemnly and solemnly confessed to Xie Ze.
Xie Ze smiled, stretched out his hand to grab Li Ran, lowered his head against her forehead, and after a while, he raised his head and smiled: "I'm not worried about you, I miss you, I miss you very much." ”
"I miss you too! I really want to think about it! ”
Li Ran threw herself into Xie Ze's arms.
"Momonon told me not to think about you all day long, saying that when I think of you, you will be upset, really?"
"I miss you every day, are you upset?" Xie Ze couldn't stop laughing.
"It's a bit of a mess." Li Ran raised her hand and pressed it to her chest, thought about it carefully, and answered seriously.
"I won't, as long as I think of you being good, drinking tea and looking at the flowers, waiting for me to come back with peace of mind, I am very relieved."
Xie Ze also reached over and pressed it on Li Ran's chest.
"You can think of me with confidence."
These days, I have been entangled to baldness.
Writing this, according to logic, it can only be pushed forward, but if it is pushed forward, a major problem will arise: how to show affection?
This one is going to write romance, right, it must be written to the end.
My hair is almost gone, and now I have a little idea, but I don't know how it will work if I write it.
But that's all there is to it.
Alas, the head is really bald.
