Chapter Thirty-Nine: What a Smooth Life?
After Yan Beishen left Mocheng, Gu Ran returned to the palace with a big bag, it turned out that her mother-in-law asked her to go back to the palace to live, saying that she was a bride living with her old man for fear of being bored, so she let her go back to the palace, I didn't think that there would be such an enlightened mother-in-law in ancient times, so that her daughter-in-law could go back to her mother's house to live, Gu Ran was of course desperate, this is not her husband Ling Han just left the gate of Mocheng with the front foot, and she pulled me to Ling Mansion with the back foot.
This Ling Mansion is worthy of being the residence of the Duke of Guo, as soon as he entered, he saw two big lions made of pure gold, the lions of other people's families were placed at the door, but the Duke of Ling's family was placed inside, Gu Ran said that the pure gold lion was rewarded by the saint today, and it was intended to reward the achievements of Ling Guogong in the early years.
"I didn't expect your father-in-law to be a brave and warlike general, so it seems that Ling Han will not be far behind." I have a rod and scale in my heart now, I can only hide the matter of Ling Han's past the land of fireworks, what Yan Beishen said to me that day, I still have it in my ears, in case I break this matter, maybe it will really hurt Gu Ran and the Ling Mansion family, I just hope that Ling Han really has Gu Ran in his heart.
"My father-in-law is nothing, when the three princes of the saint were still alive, that was the god of war, but unfortunately, he died young."
It turned out that the princess had a brother in addition to the current crown prince, and Gu Ran was very happy when she talked about this god of war, as if in her eyes this god of war was the object of her worship.
I sat in the room and watched Xiao Qi packing up Gu Ran's clothes, and I was leisurely eating fruit food.
"Nan Kite, let me tell you, if this god of war is still alive, my young lady may not be with her current uncle, after all, the god of war is the first man that young lady likes."
Gu Ran hurriedly covered Xiao Qi's mouth, and when I heard it, there was a reason.
"Fortunately, your father-in-law went out, otherwise the vinegar jar in this Ling Mansion would have to be overturned."
"Don't listen to Xiao Qin's nonsense, it's just that I met the prince when I was a child, and he secretly helped me once at that time, if you want to say that the one who really has a relationship with this god of war has to be the eldest lady of the Long family."
I was stunned when I heard this, the Long family, which big family is it.
"I'm just talking to myself, I don't think you can understand it."
"These things really have nothing to do with me, I'm more concerned about what we eat at noon now."
In this way, the things that could have been talked about in detail were cut off by me, and now where would I have thought that I would have a fate with that eldest lady of the Long family in the future, of course, these are all later words.
The days after that were very dull, Gu Ran went back to the palace with me, and the princess had been pregnant for several months, so it was really inconvenient to deal with the affairs of the mansion, and the concubine was now also babysitting on her belly, and she would not come to take care of the affairs of the mansion at all, as for Gu Xiaoxiao, she is now busy preparing for her marriage, because Gu Yanbai has just died, so this marriage can only be postponed.
This is the best, so that no one will come to me for trouble, and Gu Ran returned to the palace, I also have a playmate, and this day will not be so boring, as for Xiao Shizi, I basically don't have to take care of him now, the newly invited nurse is very clever and diligent, and she does everything very well, and taking care of Xiao Shizi is also the first way, plus the princess and the prince invited Mr. Teacher to Xiao Shizi, so Xiao Shizi follows Mr. Teacher to learn literacy during the day.
After about half a month, the house received a letter sent back by Ling Han, there were many words in the letter that I couldn't understand, Gu Ran also knew that I was concerned about the things over there, so he explained to me while reading it himself, and then knew that most of these bandits had been exterminated, but they had to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and then they had to follow Ling Guogong to deal with the related matters of Shaluo, so it was still early to return.
At this moment, I was envious of Gu Ran, but Ling Han still knew that he would send someone to write back to report his safety, but Yan Beishen didn't say a word to me, but sometimes no news is good news.
Counting the days, I didn't expect time to pass so quickly, it was already Gu Yanbai's 100 days, I prepared some gold and silver ingots with Gu Ran, and went out, now it is almost winter, the sky has turned cold, I wore three clothes but still felt that there was a cold wind pouring in, and the sky was unpredictable, the two of us just walked halfway, but unexpectedly ushered in such a heavy rain
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the gold and silver ingots in our hands have already been beaten by the rain, and it will be almost evening when Gu Ran and I finally arrived at Gu Yanbai's grave.
Now that I think about it, the two of us are also very stupid, since it is raining, we can take shelter from the rain first, so we have to hurry over first, but fortunately, when we arrived, the rain had stopped.
I threw these wet gold and silver ingots aside, and put out the food brought in the food box, knowing that Gu Yanbai couldn't eat it, but doing so could be regarded as a psychological comfort for myself.
I just stood there quietly for a while, and then I heard Gu Ran talking to him.
"Third brother, the best for you in this world is only Nan Kite, I didn't take good care of you when you were alive, only Nan Kite remembered your hundred days when you died, you have to bless us both below, and remember to find a good girl below."
How can this Gu Ran become more and more outrageous, I quickly asked her not to say it first, and then said to Gu Yanbai that I will take time to come and see you in the future, and before leaving, I also took two of the eight chicken legs left for Gu Yanbai, and Gu Yanbai will not blame me if I think about it.
I thought that this was the end of the matter, but unexpectedly, after Gu Ran and I returned to the house, we both got a severe cold on the second day, in order not to cause trouble to other people in the house, Gu Ran let me go to the place where she lived, and the two of them recuperated together, so that they could take care of themselves.
The doctor prescribed a lot of bitter medicine for both of us, and the disease passed for another ten days.
"Miss, Miss, no, some people say that Shaluo has been captured!"
Xiao Qi came in with a small broken step outside, and what she said scared me, what does it mean to be captured?
Gu Ran grabbed Xiao Qi's hand and said hurriedly: "Who said nonsense, Ling Han wrote a few days ago that he would be able to return to Mocheng soon." ”
"It was said by the prince, saying that Sha Luo was controlled by the mountain bandits, it turned out that the group of mountain bandits had already gotten the news, and they withdrew more than half of them before they arrived, but now Sha Luo has finally settled down, but was suddenly caught off guard by the mountain bandits, and now Ling Guogong and Uncle are missing, it is an urgent letter from the Sha Luo Post Station that arrived this morning."
What about Yan Beishen, how is Yan Beiyan, will he also have an accident.
Gu Ran couldn't take care of it at this time, so he went to find the prince, and I hurriedly followed Gu Ran with him.
But the prince was not in the mansion, Gu Ran asked the guard at the gate to know that the prince had already entered the palace, I didn't expect that a group of mountain bandits had such a great ability to make Ling Guogong and them like this, I couldn't help but secretly clench my fists, Yan Beishen, don't have an accident, I secretly prayed in my heart.
I waited anxiously all day until the prince came back from the palace.
"Brother, what happened to Ling Han and them, what's going on over there now?" Gu Ran is as anxious as I am, and her husband's whereabouts are still unknown.
The prince asked Fang Tian to take the cloak on his body, and then he spoke, "Most of the realm of Shalu was overlorded by that group of bandits, and the two city gates were sealed by them, Ling Guogong and his party were trapped in the urn, and the Holy Lord has already sent a thousand men and horses to set off for Shalu tonight, rest assured, they will not have an accident." ”
A thousand people, is this thousand people enough, that group of bandits is afraid that they are some outlaws, and they want to be the king of the territory, Yan Beishen They don't know what the situation is, I suddenly feel that I am useless now, except for worrying about it here, there is no way.
After listening to the words of the prince, Gu Ran and I still couldn't be completely relieved, especially Gu Ran even wanted to set off with this thousand people and horses to Shaluo, but in the end he was reprimanded by the prince, saying that she would not cause trouble if she went to Shalu as a weak woman, and it would be counterproductive if she couldn't help, and I am afraid that there would be more people to take care of her at that time.
In the end, Gu Ran could only give up.
She and I can only pray in the house every day, praying that God will bless them to be fine, in fact, not to mention Gu Ran, even I also have this impulsive idea to go to Shaluo, but what the prince said is not unreasonable, our best help is to wait patiently and wait for them to return safely.
After about half a month of such worrying days, the good news finally came, the siege of Shalu was lifted, and those bandits were all strangled, and our personnel were killed and wounded hundreds, among which only Ling Han, the vanguard, was slightly injured, and they have now returned to the court.
Hearing that Ling Han was injured, Gu Ran couldn't stay any longer, she secretly went out of the house while it was dark, determined to go to meet her father-in-law, and I naturally had to go with him secretly.
The two of us drove for about three days in a carriage, and finally met Ling Han and their men.
This place is called Huacheng, which is the most beautiful place in Qiang, because Huacheng is the only famous city in Qiang that has the title of the god of flowers, and this god of flowers refers not to famous flowers, but to celebrities.
After Gu Ran and I arrived at the post station, the guard recognized Gu Ran and took us in to find someone.
Ling Han was found at once, but the guards of Yan Bei Shen said that they were not very clear, and Ling Han was still sleeping with his eyes closed, and even Gu Ran didn't dare to wake him up, so I naturally couldn't ask him where Yan Bei was going, so I had to find it in this small post station.
I have walked back and forth to this post station no less than five times, and I have seen almost every place, but I still haven't found Yanbeishen.
"I said don't come, you have to follow, and you're not afraid of trouble!"
It was Yan Beishen's voice, I heard it at once, I was happily turning around and preparing to greet him, but I saw a woman at this moment pulling his sleeve affectionately, and his expression at the moment was rare relaxation and comfort, I could see that Yan Beishen and this woman had an extraordinary relationship.
"But let me find it, I didn't expect you to be here."
I had nothing to hide, so I walked up to them in a daze, and then I saw the stunned look on the woman's face and Yan Beiyan's face that couldn't see the expression at all.
