Chapter 252: Chaos Rises
[Chapter 6, Volume 6]
Section 252 Chapter 252 Chaos arises
Lu Hong left in a hurry, and it was impossible for Lu Xiang'er not to think about it. The most regrettable thing for Lu Xianger is that she and Lu Hong never met from beginning to end, but just talked through the wall. With Lu Hong's growth in the past few years, Lu Xiang'er couldn't hear any other meaning from his tone.
However, with the efforts of Lord Thorn Shi and all the officials under him, Dengzhou City gradually regained its calm. But in this calm, there are many wealthy businessmen who are ready to move. Even Sheng Yun was also urging Sheng Ruoxi to sort out everything in the Sheng Family Wine Workshop.
Since Mrs. Li also went to the border, the Li Mansion has been ruled by Sheng Ruoxi. After experiencing the riots in Dengzhou City, Sheng Ruoxi's management experience quickly accumulated. Now, when Lu Xianger looks at Sheng Ruoxi again, she understands that the Li family has another capable housewife. And when Sheng Ruoxi came to see Lu Xiang'er, she also put down her serious face, leaning lazily on the soft floor in Lu Xiang'er's bedroom, watching her feed her two children.
For Sheng Yun's actions that day, Lu Xiang'er was very grateful. For this reason, Lu Xiang'er also specially gave Sheng Yun a jar of soju she brewed, so that he could find out the difference between the wine made by the two. Sheng Yun was very grateful, so he asked Sheng Ruoxi to visit Lu Xiang'er, and also brought small items for the two children.
Sheng Ruoxi wanted to come and see Lu Xiang'er after she was rescued. But the subordinates in the Li Mansion were also a little unstable because of the Dengzhou Rebellion. Sheng Ruoxi had to finish the affairs of the house before she came to visit Lu Xiang'er and her two children with gifts.
The two children, who have been growing for three days, do not have the crumpled ugliness they were when they were born, but they want to hug Sheng Ruoxi happily. Unfortunately, the two children happened to be hungry, and they were waiting for Lu Xiang'er to feed them herself. Sheng Ruoxi had to wait while thinking about the names of the two children.
Lu Hong came from Beijing this time, and also brought the two names that Huo Qingsong, Song Beiqiao, and Li Xingzhou jointly chose for the child, Huo Sihao and Huo Siran. Of course, several people didn't know that Lu Xiang'er would give birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, but they didn't know whether Lu Xiang'er would give birth to a boy or a girl, so they took two names. It just so happens that with two names, Lu Xianger doesn't have to worry. The son's milk name is 'Hao Ge'er', and the girl's milk name is 'Sister Ran'.
"Xiang'er, you are now a child and daughter, which is really enviable." Sheng Ruoxi watched Lu Xiang'er finish feeding Sister Ran, took over Brother Hao'er and continued to feed, and beckoned Lu Zhi to hold Sister Ran to her. Holding a small baby, Sheng Ruoxi suddenly hoped to have such a cute pair of children.
Lu Xiang'er heard Sheng Ruoxi's meaning, and couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, when your family Langjun comes back, you will soon be like me." β
Regarding Lu Xiang'er's ridicule, Sheng Ruoxi immediately glanced at Lu Xiang'er angrily. Thinking that Li Wenhao would return to Dengzhou with Huo Qingsong, Sheng Ruoxi's face was a little shy, and she lowered her head to look at Huo Siran in her arms. In Sheng Ruoxi's heart, the words in Li Wenhao's letter to her resurfaced.
Lu Xiang'er saw that her son was also full and fell asleep satisfied, so she handed him over to Lu Xiu on the side. It was also at this time that Lu Xiang'er realized that Sheng Ruoxi hadn't spoken for a long time, so she raised her head to look at her. Huo Siran in Sheng Ruoxi's arms had been taken away by Lu Zhi, but she didn't seem to notice it, thinking about her own thoughts. On her face, the expression she showed seemed sweet and joyful, and it quickly infected Lu Xiang'er.
Lu Hong said that no matter what the situation in Jingshi turned out to be, Huo Qingsong would definitely return to Dengzhou in a month. In any case, a foreign invasion is much more important than a coup d'Γ©tat. Any common people of the Great Zhou Dynasty could accept any prince to become the emperor, but they could not withstand the invasion of foreign tribes against the Great Zhou Dynasty. The turmoil of the previous dynasty is the best lesson.
Like Sheng Ruoxi, Lu Xiang'er also misses Huo Qingsong very much and looks forward to getting together with him soon. However, Heaven does not allow people's wishes to come true. Just when Lu Xiang'er was about to leave the confinement period, Huo Bao brought quite bad news.
On this day, Lu Xiang'er sent away Sheng Ruoxi, who came to see her and her two children, and Huo Bao suddenly came to the back house to ask to see Lu Xiang'er. After careful recuperation, Lu Xiang'er recovered faster than ordinary giving birth women. Today, she is able to move around the room, but more often than not, interacting with her two children. Lu Xiang'er was lying on the soft couch, talking to the two children, and Lu Yun came to her side quickly. Hearing that Huo Bao had something to say to her, Lu Xianger was really stunned.
"I know, let Huo Bao wait for me in the hall, I'll change my clothes and go to see him." Lu Xiang'er thought that Huo Bao had nothing important to do, and would never take the initiative to see her, so Lu Xiang'er immediately signaled Lu Zhi and Lu Xiu to take care of Huo Sihao and Huo Siran.
After quickly changing into decent clothes, Lu Xiang'er came to the hall. It can be seen that the eager look in Huo Bao's eyes, Lu Xiang'er's heart suddenly bursts out. Entering the hall, Lu Xiang'er sat down and said loudly: "Huo Bao, what do you have to tell me?" β
"Lady, the little one just received a message from General Lu at the border pass." Huo Bao saw Lu Xiang'er, his eyes immediately lit up, he stepped forward to greet her, and said hurriedly in a low voice: "General Lu said that I am afraid that the border pass will not be able to be guarded." General Lu asked the little one to talk to the lady and prepare earlier. When he returns, he will escort the lady south to find Langjun. β
'Bang-' Lu Xiang'er didn't listen to Huo Bao before she lost her mind and touched the teacup on the edge of the table to the ground. Seeing this, Lu Yun, who had just come in, hurriedly walked to Lu Xiang'er to see if her hand was broken. Lu Xiang'er didn't care about this, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "The letter, can you take it with you?" β
"Here, the little ones are in a hurry." Huo Bao listened to Lu Xiang'er's inquiry, and only then did he remember something, and took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Lu Xiang'er.
Lu Yun cleaned up the porcelain pieces on the ground, and also felt that the conversation between Lu Xiang'er and Huo Bao seemed to be important, so he quickly cleaned up and was about to leave the hall. But Lu Xiang'er put the letter in her hand on the table and said loudly: "Green Cloud, you go and call the green show, green leaves, and green grass to me." Huo Bao, you go to see Luwei, if she can go, let her come over. Also, Huo Bao, you will go to the other little houses in the mansion ......"
Lu Xiang'er read the letter and was sure that it was indeed written by Lu Hong himself, so her heart had already turned a few times. If the border pass can't hold this matter, it will soon spread to Dengzhou. When the time comes, the assassin of Dengzhou will definitely organize the people in Dengzhou City to go south. In that case, it may be very chaotic in Dengzhou City, and Lu Xiang'er must prepare early.
Lu Yun listened to Lu Xiang'er's tone, and quickly exited the hall. But Huo Bao was stopped by Lu Xiang'er again when he turned around. Lu Xiang'er sat on the chair, thought about it before her expression was certain, and said softly: "Find a safe little guy and go to the Sheng Family Wine Shop to tell Boss Sheng a message." β
"The little one is written down." Huo Bao is also very grateful to Sheng Yun for his righteous action. At that time, if it weren't for Sheng Yun's four carriages, Ju Chensi realized that it was only the quilt that was snatched, and he must have stepped forward to snatch Lu Xiang'er and Huo Qingsong's children again.
After experiencing the happy events of spring, as well as Lu Xiang'er's abduction, the people left in Huo's mansion are all calm, and they are also very loyal to Lu Xiang'er. With Lu Xiang'er's instructions to let them keep a low profile, all the people in Huo Mansion silently packed up everything they could take away. Huo Bao was in charge of the outer house, and Lu Xianger was very relieved. But for the inner house, Lu Xianger was afraid that Lu Yun would not be busy alone, so she had to let Lu Wei out of the room. Fortunately, Lu Wei's injuries have also improved a lot, and with the support of green leaves and green grass, she can still walk around the house.
The subordinates of Huo Mansion finally cleaned up, and notices were also posted in Dengzhou City. The notice was written by Lord Thorn himself, instructing the people to pack their bags as soon as possible and wait for General Li to send troops to escort all the people south. It is conceivable that if it weren't for the most critical moment, how could Lord Assassin Shi post such a notice. Suddenly, the city of Dengzhou was in chaos again, and some people with bad intentions took the opportunity to sneak into some rich merchants to steal.
Fortunately, Lu Xiang'er got the news early, and the entire Huo Mansion has nothing to clean up, and has been guarding the mansion. didn't think about it, and caught four or five people who wanted to steal into Huofu and steal. At Huo Bao's suggestion, Lu Xianger sent all these people to the mansion. Lord Thorn Shi naturally knew what Lu Xiang'er meant, and while thanking Lu Xiang'er, he paraded a few people through the street, and then beheaded them on the street. Soon, the hearts of the people in Dengzhou City were somewhat more stable.
"Lady, it's already winter, it's very cold, let's go into the room." Lu Yun counted that Lu Xiang'er had been standing in the courtyard for half an hour, so he couldn't help but step forward to persuade him. Lu Xiang'er was looking at the moonlight, thinking about why Huo Qingsong hadn't come back. Hearing Lu Yun's words, she felt that it was really cold, so she nodded and turned into the room.
Lu Xiang'er first dispersed the cold air on her body at the door, and then walked to Huo Sihao and Huo Siran's side. The two brothers and sisters have not yet reached a month, and they sleep all day except for eating. Even when he doesn't sleep, he plays by himself very honestly, never crying and making a fuss, which makes Lu Xianger very worry-free. However, if the two children did cry, the sound would be loud.
After pushing the quilt for the two children, Lu Xianger said to Lu Zhi and Lu Xiu on the side: "Lu Zhi, Lu Xiu, I'm afraid I will leave Dengzhou and go south soon." Brother Hao and Sister Ran, you have to look carefully. β
"Don't worry, the slave and maid will not pay attention to anything else except Xiao Langjun and the little lady." Lu Zhi and Lu Xiu glanced at each other, and hurriedly expressed their attitude to Lu Xiang'er. During this time, both of them were taking care of their two children, and they both understood Lu Xianger's trust in them. Especially Luzhi, Lu Xianger's trust in her is already the same as that of Luwei and Luyun. Lu Xiang'er is not worried about anything else now, just worried about her two children. And she still has to take care of all the people in the house, she can't always pay attention to her children, and she can only let someone she trusts take care of the two brothers and sisters.
After Lu Xiang'er finished instructing Lu Zhi and Lu Xiu, she returned to her bedroom to prepare for a rest. But as soon as she arrived at the bed, she heard a very soft but rapid knock on the door: "Lady, General Lu is back......"
