Chapter 119: Arrival in the capital
"Okay, let's not talk about this for now, I can't rush anyway." Qing Xue left a sentence and turned around and entered the door, her children were still waiting to be fed!
Since the birth of the child, she has been breastfeeding with herself, although it is easy to find a few nursing mothers to take care of the child with Gu Sichen's financial resources, but after all, they are in a hurry, and from Chiyun to Pilan, it is definitely unrealistic to buy a nursing mother directly, those who are nursing mothers have just given birth to children, even if they are willing to leave their children for the sake of money and follow them to Pilan, Qingxue also feels that it is really unnecessary.
It's just that this body is too slender to feed a child, and it's not enough to feed a child, and this pair of children is indeed a little difficult. Fortunately, Qingxue herself is quite proficient in medicine, and she can go to that world to check the mother and baby books, and let Ah Qi and Lizi eat milk soup according to the recipe she came out every day, and replace it with goat's milk if it is not enough, so it can be regarded as raising the two children to be fat and fat, and even she has gradually become a lot richer.
After feeding the children and coaxing them to take a nap, Qingxue fell asleep unconsciously. Now that there are these two wolves in front of her, her panicked heart is also a lot more steady, but she still can't forget the man in the palace who left their mother and son behind.
has a grudge against him, but more of a lingering longing, so even though she knows that the short-haired man she met in another world is not him, Qing Xue still can't help but go to the pet store called Ah Qi's private pet every day to take a few looks.
Sometimes it's late in the evening, when she gets there, the pet store is closed, and when she can't see anyone, she runs to the library to find some books he is reading, Qingxue finds that this man named Ding Qi really loves to read, almost every time he sees him, he is sitting behind the counter with his head buried in the counter holding a book and reading seriously. That look was very similar to the appearance of Mu Chun when he used to read the history books and review the folds.
Occasionally, he can be seen getting up to feed the pets in the cage, and then talking to them to himself. Qing Xue knew that his favorite was a little wolf dog named Thorns, with gray fur that matched that of a night peep.
It's just that he can't see her or hear her, so Qingxue can only sit at the round table facing the counter most of the time and look at him in a daze with her chin on her chin, which makes her feel as if she has returned to the old days in Qinghua Palace.
But she also knows that she is greedy for this face, but in her heart she is still the bloody man who directs the country above the desert and scolds the Quartet!
She wanted to tell him: If you can't accompany me, then it's not bad to have your shadow!
How could Qing Xue know that the real Mu Chun was staying by their side at the moment, and did her best to plan for the future of their mother and son.
Pilan's secret merchants have moved the trade center to the capital according to his instructions, and it is naturally not easy to continue to hide their identities at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but in order to protect their mothers and children to the greatest extent, Mu Chun can't control so much.
The leader of the dark merchants hidden in Pilan is named Geng Qiushan, and he is a very loyal and courageous person, not to mention Pilan's own economic strength, Geng Qiushan's business territory is the largest among the five countries, and even the dark merchants of Guluo are beyond the reach of the dust.
He knows very well the win-win situation between officials and businessmen, and is also well versed in Pilan's highly centralized system, so in order to better develop the business territory and obtain the secrets of the imperial court and pass them back to Chiyun, Geng Qiushan changed his face a few years ago and bought a petty official in a new identity to do it.
After several years of hard work, now he has also achieved the position of the head of the household, which can be said to be windy and rainy. However, even if he got a lot of benefits in Pilan, Mu Chun decided not to worry that he would rebel at all, more than ten years ago, it was the wolf army that dug his family out of the sandstorm, and it was Mu Chun who decided to order Zhou Ying to carry him to Chongyuan Daoist to save him.
Later, Mu Chun decided to see that he was smart, so he also accepted him under his command, and also gave him a field house for him to settle down with his family. Before coming to Pilan, Geng Qiushan was Mu Chundu's right and left hand like Zhou Ying, but the situation required him to go to Pilan.
Now that Zhou Ying is staying in Chiyun and Gu Yan, he will go back soon, and he is the only person Mu Chun can trust.
Although Gu Sichen will do his best to protect Qingxue's mother and son, but the queen mother has always had the final say in the harem of the former Pilan dynasty, although Gu Sichen is the king of a country, he is just a puppet emperor with no real power, if there is really something, I am afraid that he will not be able to do anything.
But Geng Qiushan is a person who can shake the mountains with a stomp, especially in the past year, relying on the introduction of new objects, the strength of the dark business has developed rapidly, and its influence has long been incomparable!
The only drawback is that Geng Qiushan does not know wolf language, so Mu Chun's orders can only be transmitted to Zhou Ying through the wolf army, and then Zhou Ying will write back to him. It's a bit time-consuming, but there's no other way around it right now!
Mu Chun only hopes that no matter whether Qingxue's mother and son enter the palace or not, if anything happens in the future, they can rely on it inside and outside the palace.
------
I walked from the border to the capital city of Pilan for more than ten days, and it was already evening when I entered the city gate. Qing Xue sat in a carriage and looked out, although the houses and pavilions along the street were not as tall as Guluo, but the bustling city was far beyond her appearance, and what was even more rare was that half of the vendors here were women.
You must know that it is difficult to see women in business in both Chiyun and Guluo, especially girls who have not been out of the cabinet can not show their heads at will, let alone bargain with others or sell along the street. Looking at the scene in front of him, Pi Lan is a clear stream among the five countries!
What's even more strange is that Gu Sichen was riding on a horse, and the people around him didn't react much, they still did what they had to do, and they didn't have the prestige that a king of a country should have.
The team turned to the south, and the crowd gradually became scarce, Gu Sichen slowed down, and waited for the carriage to reach his side before he spoke: "Xue'er, now that we have arrived in the capital, I will first place you in the courtyard outside the palace, and then welcome you into the palace after two days to arrange the affairs in the palace." ”
"Good!" Qing Xue replied: "Actually, ......"
"Huh?"
"Nothing!"
Qing Xue originally wanted to tell him that when he arrived in the capital, he could just find a house and settle them down, and he didn't have to enter the palace. But I remembered that I had promised to be his concubine, if I said that I regretted it at this moment, wouldn't it be equivalent to crossing the river and demolishing the bridge! So after thinking about it, she swallowed back the words that had just come to her lips. I can only talk to him in two days.
Seeing that she didn't want to speak, Gu Sichen just nodded: "Well, I will let Leng Ye stay in the other courtyard, and if you have anything, let him pass the word to me." ”
"Good!"
Qing Xue looked at Gu Sichen who was riding on the horse at the moment, and only felt that he seemed to be a different person, or that he had never really understood this man. She always felt that Gu Sichen didn't really like herself, so she only saw him as a small child competing for toys.
But this time, he traveled thousands of miles to bring himself back to Pilan from Chiyun, and arranged everything for her and the child so thoughtfully, it would be false to say that he was not moved by this affection, but Qingxue also knew that his heart was only afraid that he would fall into Mu Chunju's place in this life, so if he couldn't give him a response, he couldn't let his feelings continue to grow.
Just as he was losing his mind, a woman's voice suddenly came from a distance.
"Emperor's cousin!"
Hearing this voice, Gu Sichen's face suddenly changed, as if he was not happy to see this person.
"Cousin Emperor, Xuan'er called you! Why don't you care about people? ”
Qing Xue didn't see it very clearly, but the woman who called herself Xuan'er seemed to fly up directly from the horse in front of her and sat directly on Gu Sichen's horse.
Gu Sichen seemed to be used to it, but he smiled awkwardly, turned his head and said, "This is Wei Xuan, my cousin." ”
Qing Xue smiled and bowed her head slightly, wanting to introduce herself to her, but found that her identity was embarrassing at the moment, and she really didn't know what to call herself, so she could only turn her head and wait for Gu Sichen to speak again.
"Xuan'er, call the imperial sister-in-law!"
Poof~~~ Gu Sichen's words almost choked Qing Xue to death, not to mention that it was impossible for him to enter the palace with him, even if he really became his concubine, he couldn't afford the title of imperial sister-in-law. In the harem, apart from the queen, which woman can be crowned with the title of "emperor"!?
Qing Xue looked embarrassed and wanted to explain something, but Wei Xuan calmly shouted: "Hello sister!" ”
Hearing this, 'sister' Qingxue hurriedly responded, and secretly sighed that this county lord was smart and knew how to give people steps.
"What are you calling! Call the royal sister-in-law! Otherwise, dismount! Gu Sichen was very obsessed and asked again.
"Don't scream!" Wei Xuan hugged the horse's neck with his mouth and said, "When Xuan'er also enters the palace and becomes a cousin's concubine, won't she also have to be called sister?" It's good to get used to it in advance! ”
"You!" Gu Sichen's face turned green, and he took her off the horse with her shirt: "Who said that you were going to enter the palace!?" ”
Wei Xuan did not show weakness, puffed out his cheeks and said: "You have so many concubines, I don't have many more, why can't Xuan'er enter the palace?" ”
......
The two of you argued sentence by sentence, Qing Xue could only sit in the sedan chair and shook her head and sighed silently in her heart: "Cousin and cousin, what a fate!" But think about this era of underdeveloped technology, it is normal to have a marriage of intimacy, thanks to the absence of AIDS now, otherwise someone like Gu Sichen will be the number one infected patient! ”
However, this Wei Xuan dared to say that she dared to do a girl with a straight intestine, and seeing that she had a bit of a female general's demeanor just now, Qing Xue liked her a little bit in her heart.
It's just that if she wants to marry Gu Sichen, she is the first to be unoptimistic, the children born of close relatives are very likely to suffer from some diseases such as albinism, and their IQ is not high, so they must be stopped!
However, judging from the current situation, Gu Sichen is very reluctant to marry this cousin, and there will be no tragedy for the time being.
