Chapter 52: Return to Beijing
After Xiao Sinian was born, another month passed, and the new general from the capital arrived.
The daylight was just right, and not long after Lu Fuling got up, her body was still weak, leaning on the small couch in the courtyard, and Ya Xiang was sitting on the side with Xiao Sinian in her arms. The two of them talked about the dim sum they had eaten the day before, arguing about whether the rice should be steamed first.
At this time, Ying Xu and Fan Song entered the courtyard together, with serious expressions and fast steps. However, when they walked to Si Nian's side, both of them stopped, and Ying Xu even put on the elder's stand to tease him to call him uncle.
Lu Fuling rolled her eyes helplessly: "He's only a full moon, it's still too early to open his mouth." As he spoke, he motioned for the guards not far away to leave, and then looked at Fan Song, whose expression had softened significantly: "What's wrong?" β
Fan Song glanced at Ya Xiang in embarrassment, sighed, and decided to say directly: "The advance officer handed over the post, and the new general will arrive in the afternoon." β
Ya Xiang, who was teasing the child, glanced at Lu Lingling deeply and did not speak.
Lu Fuling raised her eyebrows and looked at Ying Xu, who explained: "This new general is half an acquaintance of yours, named Qin Kelu. β
"Which brother of Qin Kenan?" Lu Fuling asked with a smile, "This Lord Qin is not small." β
Ying Xu thought about the information sent by the southeast and nodded: "It's not small. This Lord Qin Kelu is the elder brother of the Lord Qin of the Acropolis, who was originally the garrison officer of Beihai, but this time he was transferred to Rongcheng to take over the Ye Fang camp, which can be regarded as a two-level promotion. β
Lu Fuling thought for a while: "Qin ...... Don't? β
"Exactly." Ying Xu didn't beat around the bush, and simply nodded: "I'm afraid that Dakang's one doesn't know, the two brothers of the Qin family are actually the distant nephews of Qin Zhen, the Marquis of Beihai." It is said that the veins were separated in the first five generations, and there were some secret contacts in the past few years. β
"Hmph, since it's half an acquaintance, don't see it." Lu Fuling squinted her eyes slightly, looked at Xiao Sinian in Ya Xiang's arms, and said expressionlessly, "Can the pontoon bridge upstream be built?" Your Majesty, please send someone to invite these two to Northern Qi for a while. β
Ying Xu, who was ridiculed, was not annoyed, and scratched his head.
"Fan Song, you should go to Rongcheng to guide Vice General Zhu, pay attention to proportion, just delay the battle as long as possible. Yaxiang, pack some luggage for me. Lu Lingling calmly commanded. Ya Xiang wanted to refute, but was blocked back by Lu Ling's sentence "All he wants is me".
Everyone will go and prepare for the time being.
Before leaving, Lu Lingling avoided Yaxiang and deliberately found Ying Xu: "Xiao Xu, I didn't want to think too much of the little emperor, but I can't afford this risk." This is the water card of the Shuhetang, and after I leave, you will take it over. No matter what happens, you must protect Yaxiang and Si Nian. β
Ying Xu didn't reach out to pick up the green jade plate engraved with the water talisman, hesitated for a moment, and spoke: "Senior sister, don't do stupid things." β
"Nature." Lu Fuling smiled easily, "You once said that the folk customs of Northern Qi are open, and women can live freely and arbitrarily, and when the matter is over, I will go and see." β
"One word." Ying Xu had red eyes, took the water card, and held it tightly in his hand.
That night, Lu Fuling hugged Si Nian Su at the nurse's side and talked for a long time, Si Nian had already grown, white and tender, a pair of round eyes kept turning, and the milk was babbling. Lu Lingling hugged her for a long time, but she was reluctant to put it down. Yaxiang simply went back to the house to pack her luggage and sat quietly at the table waiting for her.
When Lu Fuling entered the house, she saw Ya Xiang sitting at the table, the candlelight on her face, dim, and she said, "Poria cocos, promise me that you must come back." β
Lu Fuling smiled, patted Ya Xiang's shoulder, and nodded seriously: "I will bring your fiancΓ© back with me." β
