The road is long (II)

Chen Bihua turned the gold bracelet on his wrist, sighed, and then asked, "It seems that everything is in Jiangnan." ”

"Yes, and the Yuda family was attacked, this is to force the third brother to go to Jiangnan, not someone else. At this time, General Yutai, who transferred away from the imperial court, did not mean to drink. Xinyang sighed.

Chen Bihua glanced at Xinjie: "That's to let the other party know that Xinjie is General Yutai." ”

Xinyang frowned: "It stands to reason that not many people know. ”

Xinjie smiled: "Although it is not much, but some people wish that I had three longs and two shorts, and they could reveal this matter, and borrow someone else's hand to get me down and replace it with their own people, it is not their purpose." ”

Chen Bihua remembered that some time ago, the queen always hinted that she wanted her second brother to enter Beijing, and said that she was assisting Xinjie, but in fact, according to the heart of the second eldest of the Lan family, it was in line with the Yutai general position: "Now I'm afraid that this matter can no longer be hidden, At this point, there is no need to hide it, tomorrow in the court, the mourning family will personally award you a golden sword." You have done a lot of things, but the courtiers don't know about it, and they think that you are on the throne by kinship. Tomorrow will be at the court meeting to say all the major events you presided over after entering the Pingluan Pavilion, it is just an eventful autumn, we have made meritorious contributions and also put it in the clear, Save those greedy people always think about this position, and they have the ability to fight with blood and sweat. ”

The Queen Mother has made a decision, and Xinjie has no right to say anything, just make it public, it doesn't matter to him personally, but I'm afraid that more people will come to calculate his little woman.

He looked at the little woman beside him, very helpless: "It's just that this person is also boring, what is there to rush at me in the capital, I have to go to Jiangnan." ”

"Maybe someone has a soft spot for Tang Sangongzi, and invites you to go to Jiangnan, let me stay alone at home in the empty room, hehe." The wife's humorous remarks did not alleviate Xinjie's concern that she was left alone in the capital, and involuntarily stroked her hair and took her into his arms, ignoring the existence of the Queen Mother and other brothers.

It was late at night, and the owner of Aokien couldn't sleep yet.

"After I'm gone tomorrow, why don't you move to the old house?"

"Don't believe me so much? Afraid that I'll be out of the wall here? ”

"You know I didn't mean that, at least there are big brothers and Xinye over there, and Xinyang is also there when he is not on duty."

"Recently, Jing'an will be with Xintian every day, you are not here, I live there alone, it is inevitable that this girl will not think much about it, if she makes trouble with me, it will be even worse to be used again. Since they have calculated that you are leaving, they will definitely think that if you leave, they will arrange for me to live in the old house. With Lin's mother and Xing'er here, it's not far from Aokisha, and the eldest brother also sent Jinwei from Baicaotang, so I don't think it's a big problem. ”

"Well, be careful, go out as little as possible, don't go out alone, if there's something wrong, go over quickly, don't be reckless, you know? If you have something, ask Xiao Jiu to help you. I'm leaving, you can practice by yourself. ”

"It's Husband-sama! But yourself, remember that you can't take risks for the sake of Lian'er, you have to take care of yourself. ”

"I know." He hugged the woman in his arms tightly, pretending to be strong.

"Jiangnan has reached the time when the grass grows and the eagle flies, and my beloved wife is smart..."Lian'er sat in the study of the small courtyard full of roses in the Aoki Garden, looking at the letter. This is the eleventh letter that Xinjie wrote to her after he left. From the day she started on the road, Xinjie would send her a letter every two or three days, and someone from the Ping An Inn would send it. Sometimes the letters are very long, recalling the places they have passed together, the thoughts of their wives, sometimes they are very short, and they talk a few words just to report safety. And this letter was brought by two beautiful girls from the Jade Gate. This is the first time Lian'er has seen Yuling and Yuqin, it is said that they are the maids of Xinjie's grandmother, and they are also the highest martial arts and the best personality among all the grandfather's maids. Xinjie hopes that they can stay with Lian'er and help him take care of her. The five-page letter, in addition to introducing the two girls and the current code words about the condition of their opponents, even mentions the crescent moon, but does not mention the condition of his maternal ancestors and Yumen.

With the arrival of one letter after another, she seemed to see her husband's busy figure in Jiangnan, and found out those who were hiding in the shadows one by one. The cases that the emperor wanted to send him to Jiangnan were almost solved on the surface, although these cases may have been planned by the same enemy, but the people who committed the crime on the surface had no connection. The emperor has been in a coma for more and more time these days due to poisonous hair, and the uncles of the Tai Hospital and the Wen Zhaohou Mansion have been diagnosed many times, but they are all helpless, and they are nothing more than hanging with good medicine to survive their lives.

Now that General Yutai has solved many cases in Jiangnan and saved the face of the imperial court, it's time for him, General Yutai, to return to Beijing, because the real opponent will no longer appear in Jiangnan now, and the ultimate target is the royal family in the capital. However, the letter did not mention the return date, but sent two maids, that is, he planned to live in Jiangnan for a long time. Then there are only two possibilities, one is that he has found more clues about the opponent in Jiangnan, trying to string all the links together; And the other is that Yumen needs him to stay, and his grandfather needs him to stay. From the point of view of the dedication of General Yutai, it is the first type; But the maid was sent by the Jade Gate, which is obviously the second type, these two girls can not only accept Xinjie's instructions to protect her safety, but also accept the orders of the Yumen masters, monitor her itinerary, in case she goes south to find her husband, except for Xinjie, the people in Yumen do not know that she must sit in the capital because of the Tang Gate.

Since Xinjie left, she has only sent him two letters, one sent to Xinyue, just to tell him that she is all right, but she can't write to him as often as he does, because she doesn't know where to send it, whether he can receive it, and the other one writes something completely different, just to ask him about some acquaintances in Jiangnan Baihuatang, of course, to give him a good day, this letter was handed over to He Qiangfeng, the governor of Gyeonggi Province in Yumen, they will definitely know where their young master is, but so far Xinjie has not mentioned a word in the letter to her, It can be seen that the people of the Jade Gate will not pass on her letter to him. Apparently this was arranged by the big bosses.

Along with the letter comes a delicate box containing a clay figurine with "Applejack" written on it, and this big Afu has a smile on his face, and he really looks like Applejack.

"The young master said that this is given to the young grandmother, so that when you want to scold him, you can take it out and scold it to dissipate your anger." The Yuqin girl is articulate, and she is very good at imitating people's tones, and she imitates Xinjie when she hears it.

As Yuqin was saying this, Lian'er glanced at Yuling who was standing aside, and found that there was a kind of contempt and jealousy in Yuling's eyes when she looked at her. Lian'er sighed secretly in her heart, this husband will not provoke another peach blossom without knowing it, and sent it to her.

Lian'er touched Da Ah Fu on the table: "Third brother, when will you come back?" Or are you not planning to come back anytime soon? She found herself more and more vulnerable, far from being the night-gazing girl she had been. It's just that all kinds of affairs are coming, and Miss Wanning doesn't even have time to sigh and feel self-pity.

"Young grandma," Cai'er came in and said, "Grandpa Hu from the Queen Mother's palace is here." ”

On Gannan Road, Xinqiang was rushing all the way to General Gannan's mansion where his father was. The night before yesterday, he accompanied his grandmother and Shiye Khan to live in the Chixia Village of a friend of his grandmother, and when they went back to their rooms in the evening, they were all right, but when they got up the next morning, they found that their grandmother was gone. They actually lost their grandmother. Shiye Khan and he searched around Zhuangzi for two days and two nights, and in desperation, Shiye Khan stayed there to continue the search, and he rushed to his father's palace to report for help. The brothers of the Tang family followed their grandmother to the north and south, and went through countless thrills and ups and downs to rebuild the Tang Gate, which was already empty and weak, and surpassed any glorious era of the Tang family's ancestors. Xinqiang has always been more stable than the other brothers, and his grandmother has long entrusted him with the management of Tangzhuang's ancestral property, granges, pastures and various properties near Xianyang. Everyone knows that he has been able to stand alone all these years. Originally, going out with his grandmother has always been a matter of Xintian Xinyuan and Xinye, but because of the recent changes in the capital, these brothers have gone to the capital, this is the first time he has traveled with his grandmother alone to run errands, and he actually lost his grandmother, making him want to cry without tears.

And three days later, the queen mother in the palace also heard about it, but it was not a letter from the Tang Sect, but through another way entirely.

"This is Biyan's, the mother of the mourning family personally handed over one to each of our sisters, Biyan used to wear a jade bracelet on her left hand, and this gold bracelet on her right hand." This is an auspicious cloud dragon and phoenix bracelet made of red gold by a large internal craftsman, the workmanship is very exquisite, the dragon and phoenix are lifelike, and it was given by Emperor Taizu to the Chen ancestor and his wife who had a life-saving grace to him. Later, each of the Biyan mural sisters had one, and this one was in Chen Biyan's hands for decades.

Of course Lian'er knew that this was grandma's. When she left Xianyang Tangzhuang, her grandmother gave her the white sheep fat jade bracelet given by Shiye Khan, who she had worn for decades, and she only kept the gold bracelet. Who is the opponent? Dare to kidnap the queen mother's own sister, the old lady of the Tang Gate. With grandma and the accompanying Xinqiang and the martial arts of several subordinates, grandma's veteran experience in the rivers and lakes, who can trap her?

"Who sent it? Is there a letter? Or is there a message that asks for something? ”

"Someone stayed in the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion last night, with only a note."

Lian'er took it, and it read: "The rivers and lakes are about to rise, and I hope that the Queen Mother will not meddle in the affairs of the rivers and lakes with the respect of the royal family." ”

"What kind of affairs will the Queen Mother meddle in?"

"The Tang Sect is half a Jianghu and half an official, and the Wenzhao Houfu in Jiangnan is almost just a courtier and a doctor, if you really want to say it, it can only be counted as half. It is related to the mourning family, there is no pure Jianghu matter, it is all related to the imperial court. ”
