As soon as the morning drum sounded, the door of the market had just opened, Du Huo had already gone out of the door with a gloomy face, and was about to call Changbai to lead the horse, and Pei Yuan's aggrieved voice came from behind him: "Cousin, you promised me to visit my uncle and aunt today......"

Du Huo thought that the night before he had just laid down with Mulian in his arms, and when the warm fragrant nephrite was in a trance, Yinjin was timid and called the door: "Lang Jun, Aunt Pei's abdomen hurts badly......"

Bellyache! Bellyache! She has had abdominal pain three times this month, just watching Mulian make a fuss in his room, taking the child in her belly as a cutter, and asking him to accompany her!

In the past, she was not like this, gentle and considerate and generous, with the character of a lady from a family and the shyness of a small jasper, how did she become like this now!

He didn't put out the fire for a month, and now he was bored when he heard Pei Yuan's voice, and he left without looking back, ignoring Pei Yuan in the room.

When he went out, he looked at the horses brought by Changbai, and couldn't help frowning, in the past, in Jiangning, his horses were carefully selected and carefully cared for, tall, vigorous, fat, and strong, but now, ...... The skinny horse looked craggy and shameless than him.

It's all because of Shaw! When he thought of that woman, the darkness in his eyes was so thick that it was frightening, he thought she was a useless merchant girl, and marrying in was just an expedient measure, but he didn't expect that it was such a cowardly and useless woman who made the entire Du family infamous and torn apart, and all his plans were destroyed!

He remembered all this and waited for it to be pressed one day......

"This is the Jiangning Du family's mansion, right?" A middle-aged man who looked very capable stepped forward and asked very politely, "I don't know if Du Sanlang is here?" ”

Changbai hurriedly stepped forward: "Who are you?" Why are you looking for my family? ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I am the steward of the Hou Mansion in Huainan, and I have come to invite Du Sanlangjun to sit in the Hou Mansion on the order of the Marquis." ”

Huainan Hou? Du Huo and Changbai were both surprised, how could such a prince and nobleman know about him and invite him over?

Du Huo waved his hand, Changbai retreated, he stepped forward in person, and politely said to the steward: "I don't know why the prince invited me over?" I don't have any contact with the house. ”

His heart was pounding, and he couldn't suppress his anticipation and excitement, and he had a premonition that the good luck he had been waiting for for a long time was coming.

The steward didn't want to say more, but said with a smile: "It turned out to be Du Sanlang, please come with me to the Hou Mansion, I have prepared a carriage and are waiting outside the city." ”

This is really a strange thing, the Du family's room fled into Chang'an like a lost dog, how could someone from the Hou Mansion come to invite him, and for what?

However, Du Huo did not hesitate, raised his head and smiled slightly, and stroked the hem of his robe: "Then please." ”

Whatever the reason, he wouldn't miss such a great opportunity.

When the funeral report from the Chungnam General's Mansion arrived at the Yingchuan Palace, Xiao Rongyue was in the palace with the Lu family to pick out clothes for Li Qing.

“…… This piece of cloud brocade material is good, and the color is also outstanding, so it is excellent if it is made into an outer robe. Xiang Tao and Sanqi got together and touched the clothes on the table, and sighed in amazement.

Lu Shi smiled and looked at it: "This stone blue is too old and serious, Yun Jin is too precious, Xiaolang is not dressed properly, keep it for Qinglang to make a jacket." ”

Xiao Rongyue picked up a piece of crab shell green double silk silk: "This piece of material is delicate and smooth, and it is suitable to make a robe for the emperor's eldest grandson." ”

Lu Shi came over to take a look, smiled and nodded: "No, Qinglang is young, his skin is the most delicate, and this material is also good, so it is suitable for clothes." ”

She picked out another piece of red cloud flower Shu brocade and compared it to Xiao Rongyue: "You wear this well, you should dress up like a flower at such an age." ”

Xiao Rongyue smiled and shook her head, but she couldn't bear Lu's insistence on letting her make a few dresses too, so she picked two.

Several women were happily carrying clothes and talking, and Mother Cen outside came in and whispered: "General Fang Cai's Zhongwu Mansion sent someone to deliver the funeral report, and Mrs. An is gone." ”

Lu Shi was stunned for a moment: "Old Mrs. An? Didn't she just come back from Shannan with General An, two days ago when I entered the palace to thank His Majesty, I saw her take the general's wife to face the saint, her body is not fine, why ......"

Cen mother shook her head: "It was said that I didn't wake up last night and died without illness." ”

Lu's face darkened: "That's a good thing, after all, Mrs. An is not young." ”

Xiao Rongyue frowned, the loyal general An Changzhi is the only one of the few generals in the court, the first emperor was the commander of the army, and now he has just rushed back to Chang'an from Shannan Road, and Mrs. An and his wife have just returned from Shannan with him. When the DPRK wants to use troops in the northwest?

It's a strange thing.

Lu Shi didn't think so much about her, sighed a few words, and then instructed Cen Mother: "Let people go to the Zhongwu General's Mansion to send incense to lay the instrument to express their hearts." ”

Xiao Rongyue opened her mouth: "I'll go for the princess, the princess and the eldest grandson have just reopened the palace in Chang'an, and these things are better to look at." ”

The Lu family also knew that now that the palace was weak, it was to think of a way to make friends with the various mansions, so he also nodded: "It's just that I have to work hard for you." ”

Xiao Rongyue smiled: "It's just incense and condolences, not hard work." ”

The Zhongwu General's Mansion was white, the servants were all dressed in linen clothes, and the front of the General's Mansion was already full of guests who had received funeral reports to mourn, Xiao Rongyue took Sanqi out of the carriage, and her mother-in-law had already greeted her.

"My lady came to pay tribute to the old lady on behalf of Princess Yingchuan." Sanqi sent the post of the palace up, and the mother-in-law was even more respectful.

"Please come with the slave, the general and the lady are in the mourning hall."

Xiao Rongyue nodded, and followed her mother-in-law inside, the general's mansion was plain white, the trees were tied with white satin, the vermilion pillars on the cloister were also tightly wrapped, the servant's face was sad, and the monk was heard chanting scriptures from a distance.

"Mrs. Xiao, are you here too?" As soon as he arrived outside the mourning hall, there was a greeting with surprise, and Cheng Yu strode forward with bright eyes.

Xiao Rongyue saw that it was him, and owed a debt, and bowed slightly: "Cheng Dalangjun." ”

"What are you...... Did the princess ask you to come? Cheng Yu didn't want to see Xiao Rongyue in the Zhongwu General's Mansion, and couldn't help but be surprised and happy.

Xiao Rongyue showed him a smile, and then said, "I'll go and incense the old lady and say goodbye first." ”

Looking at Xiao Rongyue, who entered the mourning hall with her mother-in-law, Cheng Yu stood for a while before retracting her gaze, for some reason, when Xiao Rongyue saw him, she no longer had the comfortable closeness on the boat that night, she always left in a hurry, as if she refused to say a few more words to him.

Xiao Rongyue didn't see his sigh and melancholy, but he was clearly seen by Chen, who was standing in the mourning hall talking to Mrs. An, and couldn't help but turn blue, and his brows were twisted together.
