Chapter 22 Returning to Beijing
In September, civil strife broke out in the headquarters of the Turkic Buga Khan.
Tiele, servant bones and more than a dozen other tribes all betrayed Bujia and surrendered to Qimin Khan.
The eldest grandson Sheng asked the Qimin Khan to pursue and suppress the remnants of Bujia's department, and Bujia was defeated and only fled west to Tuyuhun with dozens of people.
From then on, all the Turkic tribes were under the command of Qimin Khan, and under the command of Changsun Sheng, the city of Qikou had also been built, and he placed the Qimin Khan and his subordinates in the city.
After more than 20 years of hard work, Changsun Sheng finally annexed the Turkic tribes through measures such as dividing and dividing, subduing the Turks by razing, and recruiting rebels.
After arranging all matters in the city, the eldest grandson returned to Beijing in October.
This day was the day when Changsun Sheng returned home, Gao Qiuniang was in a good mood, and she had a smile on her face all day.
When I got up in the morning, I dressed myself up carefully, asked Yuhan to comb herself into a double bun, hairpin with turquoise-inlaid red gold steps, lightly applied powder, lightly swept her eyebrows, and blush.
Wearing a short shirt with narrow sleeves with gold beads on a black background, a half-arm with light purple and yellow piping, a shawl with a gold pattern on the top, and a long skirt with black beads on a red background, it looks graceful and luxurious and beautiful.
After finishing the makeup, Gao Qiuniang looked in the mirror again and again, a little undecided, and asked Yuhan:
"Am I wearing some makeup today? It's been a long time since I've dressed like this, and I feel embarrassed to go out like this. ”
Yuhan said with a smile: "When Lord Lang comes back today, the master mother can't see him with no face, right?" What's more, it's just light makeup. ”
Gao Qiuniang looked in front of the mirror again, pulled her long skirt with both hands and looked up and down, and gave herself a lot of courage before walking out of the door of the upper room.
She took a walk around the courtyard to get used to it.
Gao Qiuniang hadn't dressed herself so carefully for a long time.
Changsun Sheng is not at home all the year round, he doesn't go out of the door, he doesn't step out of the second door, and he is with a group of women and children all day long, even if he dresses up to show off his branches, who will he show it? Maybe it will attract gossip.
Seeing her mother coming out of the room, Guanyin ran over and grabbed Gao Qiuniang's hand, raised her face and said, "A-Niang, you are so good-looking today." ”
Gao Qiuniang picked up Guanyin and asked, "Didn't A-Niang look good before?" ”
Guanyin said with bright eyes: "It was good before, but today it is the best." ”
Gao Qiuniang handed Guanyin to Ding Niangzi and said, "Lord Lang will only come back in the afternoon, let's go to the garden to play in the morning." ”
Ding Niangzi then shouted Fengshu and played chess, and went to the garden with Gao Qiuniang.
At noon, after lunch and resting for a while, Gao Qiuniang carefully touched up her makeup again, and led the eldest grandson Wuji and Guanyin to the front hall of the inner courtyard.
After a while, Zhen, Ku, and Helan also came with their children.
The adults chatted and gossiped while watching the children play.
The children gathered together to listen to the heroic deeds of Ah Weng by the eldest grandson.
Hearing the excitement, Changsun Zhan put on a posture of drawing a bow and shooting arrows, looked up at the sky, his left hand in front, and his right hand behind him imitated the appearance of loosening the bowstring, and his mouth made a "whoosh" sound, and then said:
"In the future, I will also be a sharpshooter like Ah Weng, and I will kill two birds with one stone."
The eldest grandson Wuji said: "The archer is not so easy to be, you have to practice hard." ”
The eldest grandson Zhan puffed up his chest and said: "When Ah Weng comes back, I will ask him to teach me to practice archery every day, and I will also practice horseback riding." ”
The eldest grandson and the eldest grandson Qing also shouted: "I also want to practice archery and horseback riding." ”
Looking at the children's incomparable admiration for Changsun Sheng, Gao Qiuniang smiled, and felt proud and proud in her heart that she had such a husband.
At this time, Changsun Hong said to a few children: "It is estimated that Ah Weng is coming back soon, Ah Zhan, you go to the outer courtyard to find out if there is any news." ”
The eldest grandson and the eldest grandson Qingyang begged: "Brother, we also want to be a horse." ”
Changsun Hong just coaxed his younger brothers to play, nodded in agreement: "Okay, you have to go and come back quickly." ”
Several children ran from the inner courtyard to the outer courtyard, and from the outer courtyard back to the inner courtyard. Every time I came back, I dragged out my voice and shouted: "Report ......"
When Changsun Hong asked about the situation, he would say: "Investigate and report again." ”
Then the three of them ran to the outer courtyard like cheerful birds again.
After running back and forth several times like this, around Shen Shi, Changsun Zhan led the way back from outside the second gate, shouting as he ran: "It's back, it's back!" ”
This time, he no longer shouted "report" to Changsun Hong, and directly rushed to Gao Qiuniang and panted: "Grandma, Ah Weng is back." ”
Then, Cai Wei, who really went out to investigate, also came over to report to Gao Qiu Niangyu: "Mastermother, the person who reported from the outer courtyard came to say that Lord Lang brought people into the fangmen, and it is estimated that he has dismounted outside the gate now." ”
Gao Qiuniang said calmly: "I'm finally back, let's go to the door to greet us." ”
After that, he led everyone to the second gate to wait.
After a while, Changsun Sheng entered the second gate from the outer courtyard.
When the maidservants saw the lord come in, they knelt down and kowtowed.
The children rushed over like a swarm and surrounded Changsun Sheng in the middle.
Kushi smiled and shouted at the children: "There are no rules at all, and I don't know how to kowtow." ”
Changsun Sheng smiled and said: "I'm not busy, let me recognize it, I haven't seen you for more than two years, see if I can recognize it." ”
His eyes swept over the children's faces one by one, and he pointed with his finger from big to small: "The tallest one, this is Ah Hong." ”
When Changsun Hong heard Changsun Sheng say about himself, he crossed his hands and saluted.
Then, pointing to Prajna, he said, "This is Prajna." ”
Prajna crossed his hands and bent his knees to salute.
Then there are Naro, Jiaye, Changsun Wuji, Changsun Zhan, Changsun Jian, Changsun Qing, and Jialuo.
Finally, he pointed to the Guanyin maid who was tied to the sky and said, "This is our little daughter Guanyin, right?" ”
Guanyin was not as excited as other children because she saw Changsun Sheng for the first time, and when she saw him talking to her nephew, niece, and brother, she just kept watching intently, and now when she saw him talking to herself, she raised her little face and asked, "Are you grandpa?" ”
Changsun Sheng bent down and picked up Guanyin, because Guanyin often listened to her mother and brother say "Grandpa", and knew that "Grandpa" was her closest person in her heart.
When Changsun Sheng picked her up, Guanyin didn't resist, and held Changsun Sheng's face with her little hand to look at it carefully.
Changsun Sheng looked at Guanyin and asked with a smile, "Does Grandpa like Grandpa?" ”
Guanyin was still staring at Changsun Sheng's face, and said in a calm voice, "I like it." ”
In the face of such a strange old man, Guanyin didn't know if she really liked it, but she could feel the loving eyes of Changsun Sheng and felt that this old man liked her very much.
After greeting the children, Changsun Sheng had the opportunity to turn his gaze to Gao Qiuniang. The two looked at each other and nodded.
Eldest Sun Sheng asked softly, "Is everything at home?" ”
Gao Qiuniang crossed her hands and saluted: "It's all good." ”
There are not many words between the two sides, and in front of so many people, it is impossible for the two to pour out the pain of nearly three years of lovesickness, and everything is integrated into the eyes full of love and care.
All the words were conveyed to the other party in that moment of staring.
Eyes can speak, and they have a heart for each other, how can they not feel everything that the other person wants to express?
Changsun Sheng looked at the slave maid who was still kneeling and said, "You all get up." ”
Then he carried Guanyin into the front hall of the inner courtyard.
After everyone sat down, the eldest grandson Wuji, several grandchildren, and daughters-in-law and granddaughters all saluted according to the rules.
After talking for a while, Changsun Sheng let everyone disperse.
After dinner, Changsun Wuji and Changsun Sheng made love for a while and then went back to the east wing to do their homework.
Changsun Sheng sat on the Luohan bed and hugged Guanyin to tease her.
After half a day of contact, Guanyin and Changsun Sheng got a lot closer.
In another three or four months, Guanyin will be three years old.
Growing so big, she had never been so close to an adult man, snuggling in Changsun Sheng's arms, curiously touching his ears, and playing with the short mustache under Changsun Sheng's chin.
Changsun Sheng pursed his mouth and made a gesture of wanting to kiss her, but Guanyin giggled and refused.
Looking at the frolic of Changsun Sheng and her daughter, Gao Qiuniang felt that this scene was extremely warm, she felt that this was the real home, this is what a home should look like, and she hoped that it would always be like this in the future.
The father and daughter were talking and making trouble, and there was already a second watch outside, and Guanyin began to rub her eyes non-stop.
Gao Qiuniang knew that she was sleepy, so she called Ding Niangzi to take Guanyin to the West Chamber to sleep, and said to Yuhan:
"It's been a busy day, so you should rest early."
Yuhan and Shuxiang withdrew from the upper room and covered the door, leaving only Changsun Sheng and Gao Qiuniang in the room.
The dancing candle flame reflected Gao Qiuniang's beautiful face, she was so charming and moving.
Changsun Sheng suddenly had a nameless impulse, and he couldn't help himself.
He looked at Gao Qiuniang softly and said, "It's not early, let's rest early." ”
Gao Qiuniang can read a strong love from Changsun Sheng's gaze, and that love is like a deep pool, as if it can suck people in, and make people sink into it and never climb out again.
Gao Qiuniang got up and went to clean up the bed, she did have an indescribable expectation for this night, this expectation had been sealed in its body for nearly three years, and the sight that touched it just now had made her heart tremble.
Looking at his wife's delicate figure and graceful back, Changsun Sheng could no longer resist this endless temptation.
He walked over and hugged her from behind, his hot lips pressed against the back of her ears and around her neck.
Two souls who have been suffering from long-term lovesickness merge together and enjoy a deep love for each other.
The weather in October had turned cooler, and Changsun Sheng, who had calmed down from his state of excitement, felt a little forgiving.
He hurriedly uncovered the quilt, picked up his wife, and the two leaned on the pillow, hugged each other and covered it, letting the beloved pillow in the crook of his arm and sniff her fragrance.
The night is like water, the soft words are warm, and the eldest grandson Sheng hugged his wife and whispered softly, wanting to finish the lovesickness of the past three years.
The spring night is short, the good days are fleeting, there are beloved people hugging each other and sleeping, the long night is no longer long, the torment of the past turns into today's sweetness, Gao Qiuniang snuggled in the warm arms of Changsun Sheng and fell asleep sweetly.
