Chapter Seventy-One: Returning Home
Lu Xiaowen glanced in the distance, the towering city tower looming in the morning mist.
It was their last stop, and he was back.
After nearly seven months of absence, Lu Xiaowen didn't have the feeling of being closer to home, he just wanted to go back to the house as soon as possible and take a hot bath, preferably the kind where the skin could be peeled off.
Walking back all the way, all kinds of climates such as wind, sand, and snow have been experienced, and he can only wipe his body in a hurry every day, and Lu Xiaowen feels that there are layers of dirt stuck to his body.
Of course, he still loves to be clean.
Some soldiers don't like to take a bath, and after a month's journey, Lu Xiaowen saw that the collar under his armor was yellow.
The little soldier still wanted to step forward to talk to him and the eldest prince, but when Lu Xiaowen saw him approaching, his body unconsciously leaned back slightly.
The eldest prince obviously didn't have a good sense of experience on this return trip, he maintained his demeanor and asked Lu Xiaowen: "Brother Xiaowen, can you arrive in Beijing today?" ”
Lu Xiaowen silently estimated the distance: "Yes, there are less than ten kilometers left." He turned around and shouted to the army behind him: "Work hard, you can get there today!" After returning home, the whole army rested for three days and did not have to train. ”
All the soldiers were in high spirits, and they cheered for a while, so that the unmelted snow on the trees fell, and one of them happened to fall on the roof of the carriage that Xiao Yan was riding.
Xiao Yan heard the movement outside and knew that it was almost there. She hasn't done the canonization ceremony yet, and she doesn't know whether to go back to the palace directly with the eldest prince, or live in Xiao Mansion first?
Xiao Yan lifted the corner of the curtain, and the scenery in this section gradually became familiar, there are also several farms and large fields, I don't know which Zhuangzi is here.
There were also people in Zhuangzi who noticed this, the smoke was curling, and there was a graceful figure standing among the fields and highlands, and they saw Lu Xiaowen's team in a daze.
Rong Jin finished making breakfast for Aunt Jiang and came out to see what she was doing?
She was found in a daze as she watched the departing army.
"This is the general's return to the court." Aunt Jiang smiled lightly, she couldn't be more familiar with the figure of the general.
Rong Jin didn't answer, she thought, what's the use of the general returning to the court? I don't think of them.
Rong Jin stood with her for a while, feeling cold, so he hurriedly helped her into the house. There are only the two of them and a few people from the original Zhuangzi here, and they have to do everything themselves, and if they are sick, there is no one to heal, so they still can't get sick.
The army returned to Xishan, and Lu Xiaowen and the eldest prince still had most of the road in the city to go.
The two of them rode on horseback, and when they arrived in the inner city, they didn't have to rush so much. The city is bustling, and they can't ride it all the way.
The eldest prince thought of Xiao Yanlai, and he whispered a few words to the chief next to him.
Chang Sui immediately turned around and walked to Xiao Yan's carriage, and said in a loud voice: "Concubine Xiao, the eldest prince asked you to go back to Xiao Mansion to catch up with the old man and lady in the mansion first, and then come to pick you up when you are done." ”
This is to do a serious ceremony and then let her enter the palace.
Xiao Yan's face was a little pale, and the eldest prince gave the Xiao family face. If he didn't want to, the two of them were already husband and wife, even if she was a royal wife, she would never be able to live in the Xiao family.
When she goes home this time, she has to quickly ask her mother to do something for her, otherwise she will always be unsteady in her heart, and she will have no chance when she enters the palace.
As soon as he entered the inner city, Lu Xiaowen sent Adu to Lu Mansion first, telling them the approximate time he had arrived, so that they could prepare and not wait in vain.
Mrs. Lu got the news and greeted her at the door with a large family. Lu Xiaowen looked at it from a distance on the horse, and saw his mother on crutches and looking at her eyes.
"It's General Lu, old lady, General Lu is back." When the neighbors heard the commotion, they also came out to see it, and they would smile and turn around to say hello to the old lady.
"The second master is back, it's really the second master!" Tete, the next member of the family, ran to the mouth of the alley and waited, and then ran back in three steps and two steps to tell the family.
Seeing her son again after seven months, Mrs. Rao is old lady Lu has experienced a lot of winds and waves, and she can't help but wet her eyes with tears: every time her son goes to battle, no matter how big or small the war is, she has this heart...... I can't help but worry.
"Mother, my son is back." Lu Xiaowen turned over and dismounted, stepped forward quickly, and hugged the old lady with his own hands.
At the same time, his eyes swept in, well, there were a few more faces, and at this glance, he saw He Shaoguang standing behind.
She is not senior enough, and there is an old lady and the new grandfather's family in front of her.
Rao is like this, Lu Xiaowen still saw her at once.
She is dressed up very brightly today, and it is difficult not to pay attention to a circle of fiery red fox fur scarf. Holding a small one in one hand is a pair of his children.
It seems that they have all grown taller, well, He Shaoguang has also grown taller.
The two concubines standing next to them were obviously well-dressed, but Lu Xiaowen didn't notice it.
He retracted his gaze and turned to look at the eldest brother: "Congratulations, eldest brother, it's time to call Grandpa Guo." ”
Lu Ruqing smiled modestly: "Ahem...... Big brother is stained with your light. ”
Old Madam Lu was not happy when she heard this: "How can you say that?" It is a tradition to stand up and grow! ”
While his mother complained about his eldest brother, Lu Xiaowen turned his head to congratulate Lu Fengju: "Congratulations to the third brother, I am happy to have a daughter." ”
Shi Nianjiao hugged her daughter for a long time, and Lu Fengju took it consciously just now, and held it carefully in his hand.
Seeing that his daughter slept soundly, Lu Fengju's loving father's heart was greatly satisfied.
"Tongxi, second brother." Lu Feng raised his face with a happy face.
Lu Xiaowen, who didn't know what he was happy about, stopped talking, and when he passed by He Shaoguang's side, five pairs of shining eyes stared at him in unison, which made him feel quite stressed.
With one side of his head, he hooked his lips at He Shaoguang's curious eyes.
Reaching out and quickly scratching the back of her hand.
In addition, there was no more to say, and the family hugged the old lady to the Lilac Garden to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Lu Xiaowen.
He Shaoguang's old face turned red, and he quietly went to see if the children had found out.
Seeing that the two of them were not unusual, he secretly exhaled.
She was wearing a scarf made of fox fur that he had sent back before, and she wore it on purpose.
Well, he must be happy, right? The giver of the gift should be happy to see that the gift is liked.
He Shaoguang, who was molested, didn't notice it at all, but Li and Yang, who were neglected, were all focused on the general, and naturally they didn't leave behind the small actions between the general and He Shaoguang.
Li didn't think there was anything, after all, they were serious couples, they were newly married, and honey and oil were the way they should be.
The Yang family looked down on her a little, thinking that she was not dignified, and the general kept looking at her during the day.
Yang was indignant that Lu Xiaowen didn't look at her at all, she was dressed up so hard today, and she was all fed to the dog!
She didn't dare to get tired of Lu Xiaowen, so she could only blame He Shaoguang.
Yang's beauty is beautiful, but it's a pity that she already has an Aunt Jiang in front of her, and she is still recuperating in Zhuangzi.
In terms of appearance, in terms of little white flowers, the Jiang family can throw off the Yang family for a whole street.
So it's no wonder that Lu Xiaowen is not much interested in her.
Is our new cover good-looking?
PS Recently, I was going to be angry with the company, and the year-end bonus was dragged on, ahhhhh ^_^
