Chapter 9 Overnight at the General's Mansion
General Chen's Mansion, the county lord sat down with Chen Ziwei, Chen Ziwei could only rely on the county lord to walk because of a sprained foot, which showed that the two were very close, and the county lord of the province was worried that Chen Ziwei would not cooperate, so she let her sing a one-man show.
"General Chen, I came here today to pay a visit."
After the greetings, the county lord knew that she wanted to leave them alone, so she made an excuse to go out.
"I heard that the scenery of the back garden of the Chen Mansion is a must, I wonder if I am lucky enough to go and have a look?"
"The county lord is polite, come here, take the county lord to the back garden."
Before she left, she patted Chen Ziwei's back with her hand and specially reminded: "Remember, don't say what you shouldn't say."
Chen Ziwei was very depressed at the moment, and the grievances he suffered in the county king's mansion could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and after returning to his home, he had to be controlled by the county king everywhere.
"Did you hear that?" The county lord threatened.
Chen Ziwei had no choice but to nod obediently.
After receiving Chen Ziwei's response, the county lord went to the back garden of Chen's mansion under the leadership of Xiao Si.
Along the way, the county lord has seen ponds and rockeries, bonsai and flowers, but he is just watching, and he doesn't look like he appreciates it at all.
That Xiao Si walked around with the county lord for most of the day, and now his legs and feet are sore, but the county lord is still strolling, as if he wants to finish visiting General Chen's mansion.
They walked through the long corridor and came to what seemed to be a labyrinthine path, and the county lord was very curious.
The intertwined paths are intertwined, and it is easy for those who are not familiar with the terrain to get trapped inside.
The county lord chose a secluded path and planned to go, but at this time, Xiao Si, the leader beside her, spoke:
"County Lord, no one can enter without the orders of my son-in-law."
The county lord withdrew the foot he had stepped out of, and said in confusion:
"Why?"
Na Xiao Si explained:
"The exit of the secluded path is my son-in-law's residence, Qu Youge."
The county lord is puzzled, a son who has not been out of the cabinet will not hide himself so strictly, is there something ulterior in this?
Chen Ziwei, you are so good, see how I clean you up when I go back!
When the county lord arrived here, he was forced to stop, because in the Chen Mansion, although she was Chen Ziwei's wife, it was indeed inappropriate to trespass into the residence, and besides, if she was trapped inside and couldn't get out, she would become a laughing stock for everyone.
So, the county lord walked through the pavilion next to him and planned to go to the pavilion to take a nap.
That Xiao Si was very happy to see the county lord going there, he had no strength to accompany the county lord for most of the day, and he could finally rest for a while.
……
After the county lord left, General Chen asked Chen Ziwei many things, such as whether he was doing well in the county king's mansion, how the county lord treated him, and so on.
This is because Chen Zi saw that his mother cared about him so much, and he was very moved in his heart, and even his complaints about his mother were alleviated a lot.
At this moment, facing his mother, he really wanted to pour out all the pain in his heart, but he didn't dare, he was afraid of getting a more severe punishment from the county lord.
Judging from the observations of the past few days, the county lord is like a lion that can erupt at any time, and he must be pacified at all times.
"Mother, the child is all right in the county king's mansion, and the county lord is also very good to the child, this morning the county lord handed over all the power in the county king's mansion to me, mother, don't worry about the child."
"Really?"
General Chen knew that the county lord was well-known for his romance and had many male favorites, so she was afraid that Chen Ziwei would be wronged.
"Really, Mother, you can rest assured. The child is doing well. ”
Chen Ziwei tried his best to show that he was very happy, but who knew that Chen Ziwei's heart was crying.
He entered the palace of the county king for three days, and closed the door for three days.
Since that time when the male pets asked for peace, some people in the county king's mansion gossiped about him everywhere, belittled him everywhere, and were very respectful to him on the surface, but secretly they were cynical and vicious.
The county lord did not pity him, treating him like a plaything, and he still has unwashed bruises and unhealed scratches on his body.
"Ziwei, it's getting late, so let's stay in the house for one night and go back tomorrow morning, right?"
"The child agreed, but the county lord ...... her"
"What General Chen said is very true, Ziwei and I will bother General Chen here for one night."
As soon as the county lord entered the door, she happened to hear this sentence, and she was worried about how to break the labyrinth array.
"Ziwei and General Chen haven't seen each other for many days, and it's nothing to stay in the mansion for a little longer."
"That's good, that's good."
General Chen now has a little more affection for the county lord.
Chen Ziwei was naturally happy to hear the words of the county lord, and he could finally escape the cage of the county king's mansion, even if it was not long.
"General Chen, then I'll take my son to rest first."
After the county lord finished speaking, he picked up Chen Ziwei and left.
……
"What did General Chen tell you today? Tell the lord of the county. The county lord walked on the path in the back garden with his son in his arms.
"It's all a trivial matter, and I don't say anything else."
"You don't dare."
As soon as the county lord saw General Chen's satisfied smile at her, he knew that Chen Ziwei was not lying.
Walking to the front of the hidden path maze, the county lord stopped: "How do you get past this?"
Chen Ziwei took a look, and then realized that he didn't tell the county lord where he lived, but the county lord took him directly here.
"You...... How do you know...... I live here? Chen Ziwei asked in surprise.
"I walked here by mistake today and was stopped by Xiao Si, only to know that you live here."
The county lord was very patient today, and made an exception to explain to Chen Ziwei.
"Oh."
Hearing the county lord's explanation, Chen Ziwei continued:
"This is designed according to the terrain in my pavilion, as long as you are familiar with the terrain, you can enter it."
"Then how does the county lord know what the terrain in your pavilion is like?"
“……”
"Hurry up and tell me how to go, the county lord is holding your arms numb."
Chen Ziwei was speechless.
So, he began to direct the county lord which route to take.
Chen Ziwei felt that this was the most proud thing he had ever done, and he really didn't expect that one day, the dignified county lord could also be commanded by me.
……
At this time, they finally came to Qu Youge. Quyou Pavilion was brightly lit, and the little Si maids hurriedly went out to greet Chen Ziwei when they heard that he was back, as if they wanted to make up for Chen Ziwei to relieve their lovesickness.
But when they saw Chen Ziwei snuggled in the county lord's arms, they immediately dispelled that thought, and then obediently saluted the county lord's horse.
The county lord walked into the pavilion with Chen Ziwei in his arms, "Let's get up." ”
After everyone got up, Xiao Si led the county lord into Chen Ziwei's room.
The county lord put Chen Ziwei on the stool next to the table, and sat down by the way, and she also poured herself a glass of water.
"That...... What happened to the foot injury? ”
The county lord took a sip of tea.
"The swelling has gone down, and it's almost better." Chen Ziwei was inexplicably nervous at the moment.
"That's good, the county lord of the province is troublesome. Since it's good, walk by yourself in the future, don't pretend to be weak to win the sympathy of the county lord. ”
The county lord got up and walked to the window next to her, she pushed open the window and looked at the curved labyrinth array in front of her.
"Why did you design this?"
The county lord pointed out the window, and Chen Ziwei got up and walked over to her and followed her point.
"It's just for self-preservation."
Chen Ziwei looked at the dense jungle in front of him and said:
"At the beginning, my mother and eldest sister offended many people because of their perennial battles, and for as long as I can remember, my second sister and I have been bullied. Once, a few masked men sneaked into the mansion a little, and my second sister and I almost died. Since then, my mother has put up barriers in every place in the house in order to keep the house safe. ”
After listening to his explanation, the county lord finally understood why the layout of this general's mansion was more complicated than other mansions, it turned out that there were too many enemies.
But isn't she?
Her mother, General Shao, has been fighting abroad all the year round, and she and her father are also living in fear every day.
It turns out that they still have similarities.
"General Chen is dedicated to the country, and he is really a hero of my Tianchen Kingdom, you should be proud of your mother."
The county lord closed the window to prevent the cold wind from blowing into the house.
……
"County lord, colt, dinner has arrived."
"Come in."
As soon as the words fell, several maids came in and put the food on the table.
"Go, bring a bottle of wine."
Chen Ziwei looked at him with frightened eyes, and she was about to suffer as soon as she drank.
The county lord poured himself a full glass of wine that had just been placed on the table, and drank it alone.
She remembered that her mother had died in battle, and that her father was so devastated that he was sick in bed, and every day he would only say to her, "Look, your mother is coming back." Then my father began to weep bitterly.
For some reason, Chen Ziwei felt a sense of sadness.
"I'm out of alcohol. One more bottle. ”
Before that, Chen Ziwei hid all the rest of the wine behind him.
He looked at the county lord cautiously and said, "There is only a little wine in the pavilion, and you drank it up, and now there is no wine."
The county lord was puzzled for a moment, and then said helplessly: "That's it, it's gone."
"The lord of this county is tired, come, serve the lord of this county and rest."
The county lord inexplicably felt very tired, and his heart was very tired.
Chen Ziwei quietly put down the wine jar behind him and went to change the clothes of the county lord.
There were stars outside Quyou Pavilion, and Chen Ziwei was lying on the bed uneasily, perhaps because he hadn't come back for a few days, and he was a little uncomfortable.
The county lord put his hand on Chen Ziwei's waist while half asleep, "This county lord will not move you tonight, don't move, sleep well." ”
Chen Ziwei didn't dare to move anymore after hearing this, and the two slept peacefully all night.
