Chapter 14 Departure for Beijing
"We'll leave for the Hou Mansion tomorrow morning, as for Yuanchen... You go back to Zhuangzi first. Old Marquis Sheng looked at Feng Yuanchen while thinking about countermeasures.
"Master, I want to go to the army and go to the border."
"Going to the border to join the army?" Old Marquis Sheng was very surprised, it is understandable that he joined the army, why did he go to the border?
"Yes." Feng Yuanchen didn't want to say more, and the old marquis didn't force him to ask, after all, children have their own ideas when they grow up.
"Okay, whatever you want. Is there any situation where you can contact me the old way. ”
"Understood, thank you, master." Feng Yuanchen knelt on his knees and gave a big salute to the old marquis, which was regarded as a farewell.
Sheng Hancheng was also touched when he listened, he has been practicing martial arts just so that one day he can defend his family and defend the country on the battlefield, the training in the past five years has also refreshed his understanding of military affairs, he really wants to go but he can't let go of the family, after all, the eldest brother has studied poetry and books all day long and has never practiced martial arts, the third brother is the most unreliable if he does not learn and has no skills, and his grandfather is old and can't always rely on him, even if his father forgets, it is not because the title of the marquis is hereditary, and it is estimated that it will not be his turn.
He was still entangled in his heart, and Old Marquis Sheng opened his mouth first: "Brother Cheng, do you want to go?" ”
Sheng Hancheng heard the old marquis ask him, and said without thinking: "I want to go, but I ......"
"You don't have to, the young man is self-reliant, the country's expectations, conscription and defense, peace and prosperity, you can go if you want." Old Marquis Sheng looked at Sheng Hancheng and said angrily.
Sheng Zhiyao was very familiar when she heard this sentence, isn't this the conscription slogan posted on their community property before.
"Then I'm going too." Sheng Zhiyao waved his excited little fist.
"Sister, forget it, I don't recruit women in the army, not to mention that you are still a little baby." Sheng Hanmo looked at his sister, and then looked at Sheng Hancheng: "Second brother, you don't have to worry, although I don't know martial arts, I can take care of my grandfather and sister, you can rest assured that you can go, the Hou Mansion has me." ”
"What's the matter, have you forgotten that there is still my third brother? I don't know anything, but I can take care of my sister. Sheng Hangu looked at the two brothers with a smug face, but unfortunately he was slapped in the face.
"It's not yet known who takes care of whom." Feng Yuanchen's cold voice resounded throughout the room.
"You... How do you talk, do you want my uncle to help you take care of your daughter-in-law? Sheng Hangu threatened angrily.
Feng Yuanchen said calmly: "Thank you, you don't have to." ”
Sheng Hangu saw that there was no threat to success, so he shrugged his head and walked to Sheng Zhiyao's side and pulled down the corner of her clothes, hoping that her sister could help her, but Sheng Zhiyao directly pulled out the corner of her clothes and ran to Feng Yuanchen: "I don't need you to see it, you should still be optimistic about yourself." ”
"Haha......" The room burst into laughter, and the haze just now dissipated.
As soon as the sky turned white in the early morning, Feng Yuanchen got up and prepared to go back to Zhuangzi first, and when he opened the door, he saw Sheng Hancheng already waiting for him at the door: "Yuanchen, I told my grandfather, I will go to the border with you." ”
Feng Yuanchen nodded, and the two went downstairs together, and when they walked to the gate, Feng Yuanchen stopped, his eyes swept to the door of Sheng Zhiyao's room on the third floor, and he was still a little reluctant in his heart, but he was just a concubine with no soldiers and no power, even if he married her and ascended the throne in the future, it would not be justified.
The master's special training over the years must also be for his future.
Feng Yuanchen didn't hesitate to push open the door and walked out.
Sheng Zhiyao stood behind the door and she didn't dare to open the door, she didn't like to part, although she was only a five-year-old yellow-mouthed child on the outside, but she wasn't in her bones.
She wiped the tears from her face, thinking that it was almost time for her grandfather to get up, so she packed up her belongings and sat on the edge of the bed waiting for Steward Li to call her.
Old Marquis Sheng gently pushed open the door and walked to Sheng Zhiyao's side and sat down.
"We're going back to the Hou Mansion from a distance, are you all clear?"
"It's all right, grandpa."
"Alright, let's go."
Sitting in the carriage, Sheng Zhiyao lifted the curtain and took one last look at Chuan Xiangyuan, and the carriage moved.
When the carriage drove smoothly into the woods, there was a loud "boom", Sheng Zhiyao was frightened, she looked in the direction where the sound came from, and the billowing smoke rose and blackened half of the sky.
"Grandpa, this is..."Sheng Zhiyao looked at the old marquis incomprehensibly, this took a lot of grandpa's hard work to build, and it was gone.
Old Marquis Sheng stretched out his hand and patted her little hand gently: "It's okay, I'll build it when I retire in the future, the main place has been discovered, and there are still some things in it that have not been published, I'm afraid that I will make a fuss about it." ”
Sheng Zhiyao nodded understandingly, but she was still a little reluctant, after all, all the memories of her and Feng Yuanchen were here.
Chuanxiangyuan is not very far from the capital, and the capital is already in front of you in the evening.
The carriage suddenly stopped outside the city gate, and the old marquis Sheng opened the curtain and looked out, Sheng Zhengye and his wife Qi Xinyue were standing at the city gate to greet them.
Sheng Zhiyao poked out her little head from the window and looked at these two people curiously, she lost her parents when she was very young in her last life, and she was so happy to know that this couple was her parents in this life, she jumped out of the carriage and threw herself into her mother's arms.
"Mother, does Mother have a long way to go?" Qi Xinyue looked at this daughter who had been taken away from infancy and cried with joy, she squatted down to make her eyes level with Sheng Zhiyao's, her slender white hand touched Sheng Zhiyao's little face and smiled.
Sheng Zhiyao stretched out her little hand to wipe away the tears on Qi Xinyue's face: "Mother doesn't cry, isn't it back from afar?" After that, they stayed with their mothers. ”
"Yes, don't cry when your daughters are back, how unsightly it is at the gate of this city." Sheng Zhengye whispered to Qi.
"Mother don't cry, I'll be back soon, let's go home." Qi Xinyue dipped her handkerchief with the tears on her face, happily pulling Sheng Zhiyao to leave, but forgot the old marquis in the carriage.
"Ahem, why did my daughter forget about me when she came back?"
"Yes, and us." Sheng Hangu watched indignantly as his mother and father pulled their sister and were about to leave, completely forgetting that they still had a son.
Qi Xinyue came back to her senses at this time, she was here to pick up her father-in-law and children home today, but she forgot for a while when she saw her daughter, who she hadn't seen for a long time: "It's the daughter-in-law who is reckless, and the daughter-in-law and husband are here to pick you up." ”
Sheng Zhengye also scratched his head embarrassedly, it was true that he had just seen his daughter running over, and he forgot that he was here to pick up his father.
"Come on, the carriage is faster than you can walk, hurry home."
"Yes." The husband and wife agreed in unison.
Sheng Zhengye hugged Sheng Zhiyao to the carriage, and helped her to get into the carriage by his wife, Sheng Zhiyao snuggled up in her mother's arms and coquettishly, and the three generations of children and grandchildren in the carriage talked and laughed happily.
In the carriage behind, Sheng Hanmo and Sheng Hangu listened to their laughter, and their hearts were extremely desolate.
After a night's sleep, Sheng Zhiyao got up very early, she pushed open her door Mei Lan Zhuju stood at the door with toiletries, they were all secret guards selected by Feng Yuanchen from Yuchen Palace in the year Sheng Zhiyao was born, originally they were not called this name, but the rules of Yuchen Palace are that if you recognize the new master, you need to give a name, so as to start over, Sheng Zhiyao felt that it was troublesome and difficult to remember, so she picked such a word, and then added that it was the maid of Sheng Mansion and followed the master's surname.
"Mei'er, is my father awake?"
"Not yet. What does the young lady command? ”
"Nothing, I want to go out for a walk."
"Then Ju'er and I will accompany Miss out." Zhu'er said as she combed her hair.
"None of you are allowed to follow me." Sheng Zhiyao paused, tilted his head and shouted at the door, "Gong Jie, you are not allowed to go." ”
Gong Jie was stunned for a moment when he heard the voice of the master in the room.
"I'm going to go around the capital by myself, you can rest in the Hou Mansion, and then familiarize yourself with the rules here and tell me."
After listening to her master's words, Lan'er put down the clothes she was sorting out in her hand and walked over: "Miss, that's not good, you have never left us when you are so big." ”
"Isn't that just trying to get used to life without you?" Sheng Zhiyao stood up and walked to the bed, threw aside the clothes Lan'er had picked for her, and still wore ordinary plain clothes.
Remembering that last night she was pulled into the room by her mother Qi Shi to look at the clothes for several hours and had a headache, her mother made a lot of beautiful clothes and jewelry according to the size that her grandfather said during the years she was not at home, but it was a pity that Sheng Zhiyao felt that it was very cumbersome, and it was still comfortable to wear plain clothes and cloth shoes.
"You just stay in the Hou Mansion, and whoever follows me will fire whoever squid." After Sheng Zhiyao finished speaking, he walked towards the door of the mansion.
