Chapter 35: A heavy heart
The next day, the Linhua Hall was lively early, and Guan Xiuyan went to Yanmen today. Last night, Mrs. Guan instructed the palace maids and eunuchs to make some thick clothes for her younger brother to bring, and also instructed the cooks to cook more delicious things and take them to eat on the road, for fear that my younger brother would not even be able to eat a bite of Chang'an when he arrived in Yanmen.
After breakfast, Guan Xiuyan and his sister arrived at the east gate, outside the east gate there was already a group of people who were about to accompany him to set off waiting, flying against the wind with the banner, being blown by the wind, everyone stood in the cold wind, but could not stop the majesty of their departure. "Woo-", there was a high-pitched and fierce horn sound from the city towers on both sides, and it was the guards guarding the city who sounded the horn to set off, urging Guan Xiuyan to set off quickly.
Standing side by side with his sister, today's Guan Xiuyan looks extremely energetic, his hair is combed high, and the panic and reluctance of the past can no longer be seen on his square face at this time. Holding her sister's hand, she reluctantly instructed her sister, "Sister, this time I went to Yanmen, I have been absent for many years, my brother is not around, take good care of myself." ”
Mrs. Guan had already burst into tears, and she cried reluctantly, agreeing to her brother's words. Guan Xiuyan wiped away her sister's tears, not wanting to make her sister sad, so she took a long breath of relief and comforted her with a forced smile, "Sister don't cry, just go to Yanmen to learn horseback riding skills, and come back in a few years." ”
For her brother's comforting words, Mrs. Guan no longer had the extra heart to listen, crying vigorously, although she knew that her brother went to Yanmen to avoid trouble, although she knew that her brother would come back, but she was still full of reluctance, and her hands held her brother's hand tightly and refused to let go. Chanxin stepped forward to pat Mrs. Guan's back and said some comforting words before Mrs. Guan let go of her brother's hand.
The sun in the east gradually shone through, and Mrs. Guan's face was flushed, and the surroundings were brilliant. Guan Xiuyan hugged her sister in her arms and hugged her tightly, she hadn't hugged her sister like this for many years, and she picked up her sister today, but she didn't know that her sister's body was so weak, she really needed the emperor's mind to rely on, but I just hoped that the emperor would not let down her sister.
"The red sun has risen in the east." Guan Xiuyan hugged her sister and said.
Mrs. Guan leaned on her brother's chest, but she didn't know that her brother's chest was still so warm, and two lines of tears wet Guan Xiuyan's clothes. But Mrs. Linxing Guan couldn't say a word, she thought about a lot of things to say to her brother last night, and hoped not to cry, how do you know that the feelings of parting are so uncomfortable, today I am crying, and I forgot all the words I want to say in my stomach.
After a long time, I looked at my sister again, she had already cried so much that she was already crying, and Guan Xiuyan had to wipe her tears again, and stroked her back and said some comforting words.
"Woo-", the high-pitched horn sounded again, and the sound of the horn was urging Guan Xiuyan to start quickly.
He looked at the guards who blew the horn on the city tower, made a pause gesture towards them, turned around and looked at his sister's unpregnant belly, and his face was a little more regretful, "I just can't wait for my sister's child to be born." He smiled awkwardly and said, "Fortunately, I will come back, but when the time comes, Sister A's children will not know his uncle." ”
Mrs. Guan, who was crying so much that the corners of her mouth twitched, looked at her younger brother with a firm look and choked up, "The child will always recognize uncle, sister and child waiting for you to come back." ”
Guan Xiuyan let out a heavy 'um', touched his waist to see what was on the neckline, and looked for something on himself. Mrs. Guan was at a loss for what to do, and she didn't know what her brother was doing. Guan Xiuyan couldn't find anything in the end, showing a look of loss, just thinking about it, suddenly his eyes lit up and slapped the back of his head, stretched out his hand and put a jade flute in a bun on his sister's palm, Mrs. Guan frowned suspiciously and looked at her younger brother, "This ......"
"I have time to do something good for my nephew in the future, and now I am in a hurry to travel far away, so I have to leave this for Sister A's child, I hope Sister Ah will not dislike it." Guan Xiuyan said with a smile.
Looking at the jade flute in his hand, a long jasper-colored hairpin is clear and warm. Mrs. Guan carefully put it into the wide sleeved robe, and when she looked up again, Guan Xiuyan had already turned over and got on the horse, and was included in the horse team, and the guards around her were all heroic, and the flag in the hands of the guards who took the lead was half rolled and whistling in the wind, so that there was a situation where a group of soldiers went out to fight. Guan Xiuyan may not be a good general, but he is a rare good brother.
"Take care, don't read it." Guan Xiuyan said, then pulled the reins in his hand and led the horse away.
"Take care." Her word 'take care' seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and as soon as she said it, she fell to the ground and made no sound.
"Drive-", the horse team set off and went against the wind. The sound of horses' hooves, the dust behind the horses, and they drifted away. Mrs. Guan still stood at the gate of the city and looked at her younger brother's distant figure, until she couldn't see the figure, until she couldn't hear the sound of horses' hooves, she withdrew her nostalgic looking gaze, and returned to the city with a sad face. After taking a few steps, Mrs. Guan turned around as if she remembered something, looked at the direction of her brother in the distance, and murmured to herself, "Go home safely, otherwise Sister Ah will not forgive herself." ”
This is what I want to say to my brother the most, but unfortunately my brother can't hear it, I only hope that Leng Feng will convey the words to my brother, and I only hope that the bright moon hanging high in the night will take away my concern for my brother. Seeing off her younger brother, Mrs. Guan felt a little sentimental and comforted.
Back in Linhua Palace, Liu Bang had already left at this time. As soon as she walked into the inner hall, Chanxin helped Mrs. Guan to sit on the couch, worried that Mrs. Guan's body was not yet well, so Chanxin asked her to lie down, shook off the quilt and covered her, and then nested a good corner. A maid brought over with the boiled decoction, and when she saw that Mrs. Guan had already lay down, she handed it over to Chanxin to deal with, and said to Chanxin that this was a special order from the emperor before leaving, saying that she could only leave after watching Mrs. Guan drink it. Chanxin smiled, waved her hand to the maid to go down, walked to the couch and asked Mrs. Guan if she wanted to drink the medicine, Mrs. Guan said that her body was almost better, and it would not be good for the child to drink the medicine again, so she put the medicine on a few cases and accompanied Mrs. Guan to talk for a while. said that she was tired, and Mrs. Guan almost fell asleep, so Chanxin got up and left the hall with the medicine that had been half cold.
As soon as he closed the door and turned around, a familiar figure appeared in front of him. Chan Xin made a plain salute with a flat face, "See Mrs. Qi." ”
"Is Mrs. Guan there?" As soon as Mrs. Qi took two steps up the stairs, she saw Chanxin coming down the stairs with medicine, so she took advantage of the situation and asked.
Usually Chanxin doesn't like Mrs. Qi, Chanxin is much smarter than Mrs. Guan, and she sees Mrs. Qi's intentions, she wants to use Mrs. Guan to help her achieve her goals. But Mrs. Guan herself didn't know, even if she knew, she wouldn't be angry, and continued to work for Qi Ji, she didn't want Mrs. Guan and Qi Ji to get together. Chanxin said lightly, "Mrs. is slightly ill and has fallen asleep, if Mrs. Qi has something to do, choose a day." ”
After that, he said goodbye and went down. Looking at this girl's loyal, honest and honest appearance, Qi Ji admired her very much, and saw that Chanxin didn't like to talk to herself too much, thinking about it, it was for her master, and she didn't blame her.
"Stupid people and stupid blessings, Mrs. Guan's girl is no worse than my Jing Tian." Qi Ji squinted her eyes and looked at the departing Chanxin and said. Jing Tian was stunned and smiled, "I don't have any worries." ”
