Chapter 49: Night Talk
The room was dark, but no one could sleep.
Each of the three of them had a quilt, but a few hands reached under the quilt and scratched each other's arms, and after a while, the quilt was scattered.
Outside, Hu Shi coughed lightly, and the three of them suddenly settled down, you push me, I push you, and each wrapped the quilt and lay flat.
"When I didn't come to the capital, I heard people say how good the capital is, how good the palace is, and say that the roof of the palace is covered with gold tiles, and the ground is covered with gold bricks......
Shen Qiang couldn't help laughing: "The golden glazed tiles are still true, but the gold bricks are not." ”
Xiao Dong whispered: "I can't say that there is no ......"
"Huh?" The two lying next to him came to the spirit: "Is there really a gold brick?" ”
"I've also heard that it seems that when the three major halls were built, the bricks burned were mixed with gold......
"Really?"
Xiao Dong smiled: "Gold is gold, but not gold, it's copper powder or something." ”
Yao Jinfeng sighed and lay back: "Copper bricks." ”
Xiao Dong said: "I haven't seen what that brick looks like." ”
"So, let's take a look next time?"
Well, the chances are slim. Their range of activities is only in **, but they can't reach the three major halls.
Yao Jinfeng listened to the sound of rain outside, was stunned for a while, and whispered, "I don't know how long this rain will take?" Yesterday I saw two jujube trees, and I want to go hunt jujube today. ”
Shen Qiang snorted: "You just remember to eat." ”
"Okay, then I beat it down, don't eat it."
Shen Qiang snorted angrily and said, "I won't eat it." ”
Xiao Dong bit the corner of the quilt and couldn't help laughing, just now, he was sweating, and there were hot flashes in the quilt.
It seems that when I went back to college, the lights were turned off in the dormitory, and everyone always didn't go to sleep right away.
At that time, everything was discussed...... Most of it is non-nutritious nonsense.
Yao Jinfeng asked softly, "Xiaodong, are you sleeping?" ”
"Nope."
"Well, let's go hunt dates together tomorrow, let Mother Song make jujube cakes for us to eat, hey, don't give it to anyone."
Someone couldn't help but say, "Tomorrow the rain won't stop, and you won't be able to eat anything you want." ”
"Hey, you're not God, you say it's raining."
"Then you know you won't be able to get down tomorrow?"
The two of them almost quarreled again over the boring question of whether it would rain or not. Xiao Dong sighed: "Be quiet, Mother Hu will train people again." ”
After being quiet for a while, Shen Qiang said in a low voice, "I don't know...... When can I go back to the capital? ”
Xiao Dong's heart sank slightly, but Yao Jinfeng didn't care: "The capital is nothing particularly good, at least, if you want to run a horse, you are not as comfortable as here." I like it here, Zhuangzi is big, the wind blows and makes a loud noise, and I am at ease. ”
"Well, Zhuangzi is good...... But you can't live in Zhuangzi for a lifetime. ”
"The capital is also as good as the capital," Yao Jinfeng's tone was a little nostalgic: "The capital is lively and there are many people." By the way, we haven't been to school for so many days, and I don't know if those people have forgotten about us. ”
Xiao Dong was a little shaken, and Shen Qiang stretched out his hand to shake her: "Xiao Dong." ”
"Huh?"
Shen Qiang asked in a low voice, "Isn't there a letter in the capital?" ”
"Nope."
The wind outside was tighter, and Xiao Dong was a little panicked in his heart.
It rained for two or three days, and after the rain stopped, the weather was clearer, and the northwest wind blew in bursts, and the more it blew, the colder it became. Even Yao Jinfeng can only squat honestly in the house.
Xiaodong roasted taro around the basin, and the things that passed through the fire were always very fragrant, not to mention that some people shared them.
Hu Shi lifted the curtain and came in from outside, the expression on her face was the same as usual, but her steps were not as calm as usual.
"Mother Hu?" Xiao Dong was still holding half a taro in his mouth, and instinctively felt that something was wrong.
"County Lord, who do you see coming?"
She flashed around, and Zhao Lu entered the house with a slight smile.
"Brother?"
A piece of black taro scalp that Shen Qiang took off from Shen Qiang's hand next to her slipped his hand, fell down, and landed firmly on the upper of her shoes.
Speaking of which, the days of separation were not long.
But Xiao Dong felt that Zhao Lu seemed to have grown up all of a sudden.
No, it's not grown up, it's ...... Lost weight.
Xiao Dong can't describe it.
But she could clearly feel that Zhao Lu had changed. When she left the capital, the boy who was waving to her under the car seemed to have suddenly been reborn and became a different person.
But the person is obviously still the same person.
"I don't know my brother anymore, huh?"
His eyes were still as black and white as the first time Xiao Dong saw him.
Last time, he was like this, and suddenly appeared.
Xiao Dong put his hand on the back of his hand: "Is it cold?" It's getting dark, how did you get here? ”
"Well, my father asked me to pick you up."
Another man came in after him.
It's Qin Lie.
Their faces were red from the wind, and their skin was tense because of the cold, so they still looked shiny, but they looked radiant. The wind came in from outside, and the light flickered.
Xiaodong didn't know why, his nose was sour, and he wanted to cry.
Shen Qiang finally let go of her mind and pulled Yao Jinfeng out of the house together.
It must be fine, it's sunny after the rain. You don't have to worry about living a life anymore, and you can sleep peacefully at night.
As for what exactly happened, the process obviously doesn't matter, anyway, it will always be known later.
Yao Jinfeng reluctantly came out with her.
Zhao Lu took a big sip of hot tea, squeezed it with Xiao Dong, sat together, and whispered to her, "The Empress Dowager Shengde has moved out of Fengyi Palace." ”
Xiao Dong didn't feel surprised at all.
"What about the Empress Dowager Shengci?"
Zhao Lu said softly: "The Empress Dowager Shengci still lives in Changchun Palace. ”
In the palace, it is not so simple to live in another place. Princesses, princes migrated from their mothers, representing that they had grown up. Talented people, beauties moved out of the court, which means that they have a reputation and promotion.
And the Empress Dowager Shengde left Fengyi Palace - but she was defeated.
She dominates Fengyi Palace, and the people of the Chen family occupy a key position in the court.
Zhao Lu said softly: "A few days ago, the Empress Dowager Shengci was also sick. ”
Well, last time the Empress Dowager Shengde was sick and refused to move the palace, this time it happened that the Empress Dowager Shengci was also sick, so she still lives in Changchun Palace.
Xiao Dong thinks that things in the world are really humorous, and he may joke with people at any time.
It's really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.
However, the Empress Dowager Shotoku will definitely not find this joke funny.
Zhao Lu rubbed Xiao Dong's cheeks, well, soft and hot, tender and smooth, it felt so good.
I miss it so much.
Xiao Dong pouted and looked at him: "Don't rub me." ”
Zhao Lu made a sad look: "It's only been a few days apart...... I don't recognize my brother...... I think about you every day, I'm afraid that you won't be able to eat or sleep well, and as soon as the matter is over, I will run to pick you up tiredly, and as a result, you will give me a cold face......"
Zhao Lu sang and composed well, and also pulled the handkerchief of Xiaodong's puff to wipe the corners of his eyes.
Xiao Dong held back a smile and pulled his sleeve: "I miss my father and brother too." ”
Zhao Lu immediately "broke into laughter" and continued to pinch and twist Xiao Dong.
Qin Lie watched from the side.
In my heart, I am a little envious, and I want to go to-
It's still very down-to-earth.
Seeing Xiao Dong's taro cheeks being propped up round, his heart, which had been panicked for many days, suddenly relaxed.
