Ji Daqiang's eyes were red, standing on the attic, looking into the distance by the railing, as far as the eye could see, there was only a red tile high wall, but he couldn't see his mother's figure again.

When he first saw his mother, he just sat there, Lu Lubo came upstairs alone, and the maid was left downstairs by her.

The woman who looked graceful and luxurious, but had a haggard face, walked up to him quickly, and took him in her arms and sobbed softly without allowing him to speak.

He repeatedly said, "My poor child, you have been wronged all these years. ”

Ji Daqiang, who was at a loss, suddenly felt very warm, and felt that his nose was a little pantothenic, he sniffed lightly, and tears flowed down unconsciously.

Gently called "mother".

He gently hugged the woman who had begun to whimper in a low voice, the mother who had sent him into the world.

Ji Daqiang imagined the scene of seeing his mother.

Will you stare at the same stranger-looking mother like a stranger and not speak, or shout "mother" coldly, or walk forward quickly, kneel at the feet of your mother, cry bitterly, and say something like "the child is not filial, and the mother has suffered all these years".

And when this moment came, he found that some emotions were unimaginable, such as his mother's tears raining down, such as he really felt a sense of intimacy from the blood.

He gently broke free from his mother's embrace, even if his biological mother was hugged like this, Ji Daqiang was still a little uncomfortable.

Standing up, he whispered a little unnaturally: "Mother, mother, please sit down." ”

Pulling out a silk handkerchief from his arms and wiping the tears on his cheeks, Lu Lubo raised his head and carefully looked at his son, who was already half a head taller than him, but after a few glances, he couldn't help crying.

Ji Daqiang was at a loss by his mother's crying, but he didn't know what words to use to comfort him, so he had to whisper: "Mother, don't cry, don't cry." ”

Lu Lubo finally stopped crying, took Da Wall's hand and came to the table and sat down.

The reunion of mother and son, there seems to be endless words, and it seems that there is nothing to say, most of them are Lu Lubo inquiring about Ji Daqiang's life experience from childhood to adulthood.

Lu Lubo did not mention King Lu, did not mention the princess Zheng, and did not mention his younger brother Qi Delong.

She didn't want her child to face these family affections that she had abandoned because of some kind of desire when she first saw her, in her Lu Lubo's eyes, Ji Daqiang's family affection should only be herself, not even Wei Long.

In fact, if it weren't for Wei Long's high position, Lu Lubo would not be willing to admit or admit that Wei Long was his biological father.

And she is the daughter of the Lu family, the concubine of King Lu.

She hated the way Wei Long looked at her, even if it was full of love and regret.

But now, the only person she can rely on is Wei Long, for the sake of her son, she has been alone in the forbidden palace for many years, and she has survived, what is this reluctance?

Therefore, she came to this general's mansion, otherwise, if the mother and son want to meet, with Weilong's ability, why not send Ji Daqiang into the palace?

Wei Long is protecting his grandson, but she is Ji Daqiang's mother.

The child is hers, and no one can take it away, and she is not allowed to take it away again.

Back then, if it weren't for the Lu family to isolate her, she was favored and had a son, and she would have the position of princess at her fingertips, but now all of this is not because of Wei Long.

So she hated Wei Long, even though Wei Long had done a lot for her, she still hated it, because she knew that this was what Wei Long owed her, owed to their mother and son.

Lu Lubo came to the General's Mansion in an ordinary carriage, but in the eyes of those who care, her trip is not a secret.

When she arrived at the General's Mansion, she went directly to the garden where Ji Daqiang lived, and did not visit General Wei, let alone the general's wife.

After the carriage left the General's Mansion, she went directly to Lu's house.

Watching her leave, in addition to the Ji Da Wall overlooking behind the wall, there were also General Wei and Mrs. Wei.

Mrs. Wei took Wei Long's arm and persuaded softly: "Master, it's been all these years!"

Wei Long patted his wife's hand, shook his head and said, "In my life, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for Ziyan, I'm sorry for Green Wave, and I'm sorry for the big wall." ”

Mrs. Wei leaned her head on Wei Long's arm, shook her head slightly and said, "Why is the master sorry for me, but I am the luckiest one, and I can be by the master's side for a lifetime." ”

Mrs. Wei's surname is Tao, her name is Yu, she is just an ordinary woman, her background is ordinary, and her appearance is also ordinary.

Wei Long once said that without purple smoke, he no longer believes in love.

Tao Yu was originally just a girl who cooked noodles in a small noodle shop in the city, and this noodle stall was used by her father to support the family.

The noodle shop business is not good, but it can barely make ends meet.

The old Tao head came to have a daughter, but the mother-in-law fell ill because of this, and left the father and daughter when Tao Yu was five years old, although he was not a son, but only such a flesh and blood company, the old Tao head was also a loving father in the eyes of this well-behaved and sensible girl.

The girl looks like herself, although she looks docile and generous, but she has no outstanding appearance, which makes Lao Taotou dispel the idea of marrying the girl into a big family.

Lao Taotou prefers the second child of the meat seller.

He thought about it very thoroughly, the life of the meat seller was good, and the daughter would never be hungry after marrying, and the two sons of the meat seller would inherit more property in the future, and he, the old man, could persuade the second child to lean on his father-in-law's side.

After all, he will have to have someone to give the pension in the future.

It's just that the second child of this meat seller is five big and three thick, with a fierce face, and three years older than the soft and weak Tao Yu, and the old Tao Tou has never made up his mind.

On the fifth day of cutting the peach blossoms outside the city, Wei Long was depressed, walking in the city, he drank a lot of wine in the past few days, lost his appetite, and sat down casually when he passed by the noodle shop, and ordered a bowl of noodles.

After the noodles were cooked, he picked up the chopsticks and picked them, looked at the white noodles in the bowl, and had no appetite at all, so he put down the chopsticks, took out a few pennies and put them on the table and wanted to leave.

Seeing this, Tao Yu bit his lip and didn't hold back, so he stepped forward and asked softly, "This guest officer, do you think the noodles made by the small shop are not delicious?"

Wei Long only felt that this woman's voice was so gentle and gentle, these days he wandered around several fireworks in the city, and heard too many flattering words, and most of them were insolent and dissolute sounds.

He looked at the plainly dressed woman, shook his head slightly, and said, "I'm just a little hungry and can't swallow it." ”

Tao Yu saw that Wei Long's face was pale and there was a smell of wine on his body, so he said, "If the guest officer is not in a hurry, please wait for a while." ”

Wei Long didn't know what this woman was waiting to do, and there was nothing to do, so he nodded slightly and didn't get up.

Tao Yu turned around and went to the back of the noodle cooking stall, took out a clay pot and gently placed it next to the noodle bowl on the table and said to Wei Long: "This is the hot sauce I boiled, if the guest officer has lost his appetite, you can put a little bit in the noodles, you can try again!"

Wei Long glanced at the red and black oily seasoning in the clay pot, and was skeptical, but it did smell very fragrant.

Seeing this, Tao Yu picked up the clay pot and gently dug a small spoonful into the noodles and said, "Please give it a try." ”

There seemed to be a kind of magic in her words, Wei Long grabbed the chopsticks again, mixed them casually a few times, and looked at the red and shiny noodles, he suddenly felt that it seemed to be delicious.

Picking up a chopstick noodle, he sucked it violently, and a spicy taste went straight to his throat, and the sudden spicy made him a little uncomfortable, and he coughed involuntarily.

Tao Yu smiled lightly when he saw this, and said softly: "It's going to be a little spicy, and the guest officer is slower." ”

Wei Long was choked with spicy enough, and coughed for a while before he eased up. Although he coughed heavily, it tasted really good, so he couldn't help but put another chopstick noodle into his mouth, but this time he inhaled it slowly.

It's delicious, it's delicious!

After that, Wei Long often came to this noodle shop, and then he stopped coming.

The noodle shop was also withdrawn, and the old Taotou got his wish and married his daughter into a big family, and it was a big family that he couldn't imagine.

Tao Yu knew the story of Wei Long and Wang Ziyan, and even Wei Long didn't hide Lu Lubo's affairs from her, Wei Long once told her that he would like her.

She didn't know if Wei Long liked her or not, but she knew that Wei Long couldn't do without the jar of hot sauce she made.

Maybe this is also a kind of liking, but it's a pity that she only gave birth to a son for Wei Long.

She once thought about taking a concubine for Wei Long, but Wei Long refused, looking at Wei Long's refusal eyes, her heart was very sweet. You must know that the people in several major families are all proud of their responsibilities and three wives and four concubines.

Wei Long's son is named Wei Hu, but he is only a civilian official in Qingzhou, because his temperament follows his mother.

Wei Long shook his head with a smile and said, "After all these years, it is still the noodles you cook that taste the most to me." ”

Mrs. Wei smiled: "Then I'll cook you a bowl, it's going to be spicy, okay!"

Wei Long nodded and said, "Why don't you let the big wall taste it?"

Mrs. Wei rubbed her hands, just like the girl who cooked noodles back then, and said softly: "He is His Royal Highness!"

Wei Long took his wife's hand and said, "If you don't mind, you can also be his grandmother!"

When Tao Yu heard this, his eyes were a little moist.

After saying "hey", she said, "I'm going to cook noodles, you can send someone to call the big wall boy over!"

Looking at his wife's back, Wei Long sighed.

The love of his life, the love of his life, he can't find her, but she is right in front of him, he loves Wang Ziyan, and he also loves Tao Yu at this moment.

Xiangguo Mansion, in Yuan Shixin's study.

Yuan Shixin slapped the table and scolded hatefully: "This old puppet is really angry with me." ”

Yuan Bingde pondered for a moment and said, "Father, are you saying that the national teacher said that I should go to the national teacher's mansion to visit him?"

Yuan Shixin nodded and said: "Bingde, the national teacher, this person, you must not be underestimated, you are still a little in a hurry in this matter." ”

Yuan Bingde's eyes flashed and said: "Father, if you don't wait, if you don't fight, I'm afraid that the little emperor will gradually become full-fledged with the help of the national teacher, and at that time, will the Yuan family, who has been kneeling for more than a hundred years, continue to kneel?"

Yuan Shixin stroked his beard, bowed his head slightly, and said: "What you said is good, but if this Huo Xingwei is not removed, it will be even more difficult for my Yuan clan to enter Luoyue City." ”

Yuan Bingde sneered and said, "Then just get rid of him." ”

"How to get rid of it, relying on those people in the rivers and lakes?"

Yuan Bingde suppressed his voice and said: "Father, it is impossible to expect to bring him down in the main hall, and it is not good to say that the national teacher can still change your Xiangguo, don't look at the ministers in the court, but you are the only one, but think about it, how many Xiangguo of our Great Jin have been replaced? The position of the national teacher can be stable and sit all the time." ”

Yuan Shixin remembered the sentence "your!".

It seems that in his Huo Xingwei's eyes, he really didn't put himself, the Lord Xiangguo, in his eyes.

The question of Huo Xingwei in front of the palace was originally a verbal test of Yuan Shixin, to test Huo Xingwei's attitude, he originally thought that with his current power, he Huo Xingwei would give himself an explanation, as for whether this statement is reasonable or unreasonable, it does not matter, the important thing is that if Huo Xingwei is willing to give him an explanation, it means that in his Huo Xingwei's eyes, he is already worthy of his attention.

Good sentence "your!"

Yuan Shixin frowned and said, "What do you want to do, don't you go to the Teacher's Mansion of another country to assassinate you!"

Yuan Bingde squinted his eyes and shook his head and said, "Father, I will go to visit this national teacher's mansion, as for the assassination, I will plan it carefully." ”

Yuan Shixin nodded and said: "Bingde, your arrangement is good, after all, it is up to him to worship the Sword Pavilion, it is a grudge between the rivers and lakes, do the dispute of that sect, I still have to pay attention to my reputation side by side with the palace, I don't need to say more about these words, you have done much better than your father." ”

At this time, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open, Yuan Bingde frowned, and Yuan Shixin said lightly: "Which one has no rules?"

"Grandpa, it's me!"

Yuan Chengzhi, who ran in, stuck out his tongue and saluted Yuan Shixin and Yuan Bingde: "I've seen grandpa, daddy!"

Seeing that it was Yuan Chengzhi, Yuan Shixin smiled and said, "Okay, good!"

Yuan Bingde on the side reprimanded: "You kid, why are you so unruly? Have you learned all the 'etiquette' you have read since you were a child?"

Yuan Chengzhi looked at his father with a gloomy face and didn't dare to make a sound, Yuan Shixin glared at Yuan Bingde on the side and said, "He's a little kid, what are you reprimanding him for?"

After speaking, he looked at Yuan Chengzhi and said, "Child, next time remember to call someone to pass it on, do you know?"

Yuan Chengzhi nodded and said in a low voice, "Chengzhi knows." ”

After speaking, he said to Yuan Bingde: "Daddy, my mother is still outside the door, she is going to the palace in a while, and she is here to say goodbye to her grandfather." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Shixin nodded, Yuan Bingde got up and walked to the door, and said as he walked: "You are really, why did you run in by yourself?"

Yuan Chengzhi bit his lip and didn't speak.

Just now he wanted to let people pass through, it was his mother who said it, they were all his own family, why bother, so he pushed the door directly and entered, when he was in Yangzhou Palace, his mother did often go in and out of his father's study like this.

Yuan Bingde took Sima Ruolan's hand and walked in.

Sima Ruolan saluted Yuan Shixin and said, "Daddy, thank you for the arrangement, Ruolan wants to go to the palace to live for some time, so she came to say goodbye to her father." ”

Yuan Shixin stood up, nodded with his hands behind his back and said: "Go, you haven't returned to the palace for many years, the Queen Mother is already looking forward to it, I have already asked Your Majesty, you just have to go!"

Sima Ruolan saluted and looked at Yuan Bingde again.

Yuan Bingde nodded with a smile and said, "You go back to the palace first, and I will go to the palace to visit the Queen Mother in two days." ”

Sima Ruolan nodded, and then said to Yuan Shixin: "Daddy, then Ruolan went." ”

Yuan Shixin nodded.

Yuan Chengzhi said on the side: "Grandpa, father, I also want to go to the palace with my mother." ”

Yuan Bingde glanced at Yuan Shixin, and then said with a smile: "Go, accompany your mother well, remember, the rules in the palace are big, don't make trouble for your father, do you hear?"

"Well, the child knows, don't worry, daddy!"

After speaking, Yuan Chengzhi saluted to Yuan Shixin and said, "Grandpa, that Chengzhi is also gone!"

Yuan Shixin nodded.

After the two left the study, Yuan Shixin looked at Yuan Bingde.

Yuan Bingde said with a smile: "Father, speaking of which, Chengzhi still has to call our current majesty a cousin, when he arrives in the palace, he will not be wronged." ”

Yuan Shixin shook his head and said, "There is nothing big going on, I'm just afraid that this kid will suffer some silver." ”

Yuan Bingde sneered: "Except for the Queen Mother who is about to die, who would dare to give us Chengzhi a white eye? Father, you said that if the Queen Mother looked at Ruolan's biological flesh and blood with white eyes, what would she think in her heart?"

Yuan Shixin raised his eyebrows and said, "Could it be that you mean?"

Yuan Bingde nodded and said: "Not only let Chengzhi be blinded, but I will also go to the palace in a few days, just to try their Sima Clan's attitude." ”

Yuan Shixin nodded and said: "I have been operating in the court for so many years, according to the current situation, the people who can speak for my Yuan clan can account for about sixty or seventy percent, and about twenty percent stand on the side of the national teacher, as for the rest, they are those who claim to be loyal to the monarch and patriots, and it is precisely these people who can best drive the scholars." ”

Yuan Bingde pondered for a moment and said, "Father, do you still remember Cao Thief?"

Yuan Shixin said with a smile: "Becoming a big thing is not informal, for the rise of my Yuan clan, what if I let future generations scold me for being a Yuan thief? Bingde, you let it go, you can't do it if you are afraid of the tail, you and my father and son have been in business for many years, and it is time to pick the fruit." ”

Yuan Bingde nodded and said, "Father, don't worry. ”

After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Father, whose hands is the power of the soldiers and horses in Yuzhou now?"

Yuan Shixin glanced at Yuan Bingde and said: "Bingde, if the national teacher is not removed, these plans of you and me will be like a bamboo basket to draw water." ”

"Got it!"

Yuan Bingde remembered the general Cao Ning Cao when he first entered Luoyue City.

——————————————

Yuan Xi lay on the grass, counting the stars in the sky with weeds in his mouth.

He once asked Master how many stars there were in the night sky, and Master told him that there were many, many of them.

He asked Master again, where did all the stars hide during the day?

Master told him that he was still in heaven, but we couldn't see it during the day.

He wondered why he couldn't see him during the day.

Then the Master told him again, because there was daylight during the day.

When Master explained to him in the evening with a fire and a small torch, he seemed to understand what Master was trying to tell him.

It's the sun that's too bright, obscuring the starlight.

Next to Yuan Xi, one left and one right lie Chen Suisui and Cheng Zheng.

Cheng Shifei had already walked out of the heartache of Funny Fei's departure, he looked at the starry sky and asked softly: "Brother Yuan, which star do you say Funny Fei will be?"

Yuan Xi looked at the distant bright galaxy and said, "It should be the brightest one!"

Cheng Shifei asked, "Which one is the brightest?"

"The brightest one you think!"

"I think?"

"That's right, which one do you think is, which one is, because it's the brightest star in your heart. ”

"Then I see!"

Cheng Shifei suddenly smiled and said: "The brightest one is not funny, the brightest one is Brother Yuan, and the second brightest one is funny." ”

After speaking, Cheng Shifei, who sat up, grinned at Chen Suisui and said, "Brother Chen, you can only be ranked third, because I met me in front of you." ”

Yuan Xi pointed to Cheng right and wrong, and Cheng Yi itched and begged for mercy.

Chen Suisui looked at the right and wrong who kept laughing, but his expression was a little lonely.

Yuan Xi and Cheng both knew what the reason was, because they were about to leave Jingzhou, and Chen Suisui was about to return home.

Zhang Zhongqian has already given the silver to Chen Suisui, if Chen Suisui wants to leave, he can leave at any time.

It's just that he doesn't want to go yet, because there are his friends here.

Yuan Xi and Cheng are also a little reluctant, but if they are so reluctant, Chen Suisui will definitely be even more uncomfortable when he leaves.

Cheng Shifei rolled his eyes and said: "Brother Chen, don't think that you will be fine when you go back tomorrow, you think that the revenge of teasing Fei has not been avenged." ”

Chen Suisui also sat up, jumped slightly, squatted in front of the two, grabbed the weeds and asked, "How else do you want to take revenge?

Cheng Shifei pretended to be serious and said: "Killing people pays for life, it is justified, although he is a dog, but in my eyes, he is a life, and that little lady must pay for his life." ”

Chen Suisui glanced at Cheng Zheng, and said lightly: "You are less here, I told you, you have not caught up with the year of the catastrophe, otherwise you will cry and tease with your front feet, and you will have to hold the meat and bones with your back feet and say that it is really fragrant." ”

Cheng Shifei pointed at Chen Suisui with the weeds in his hand and said, "Brother Chen, I didn't expect you to be such a heartless person, you, you, hum!"

Chen Suisui looked at the endless dark night in the distance, and said softly: "Xiao Fei, you have no worries about food and clothing since you were a child, you and I should not have intersected, let alone become friends, what you have seen and feel novel, maybe I am used to it, and what you don't care about, maybe I can't reach it, this is fate." Do you know that in our Zhuangzi, there are many scalpers, black donkeys, or white geese, and flower chickens that get along with everyone day and night, but in the end, aren't they all everyone's meal? ”

Seeing that Chen Suisui said so seriously, Cheng felt a little guilty, "Brother Chen, I ...... it"

Yuan Xi patted Cheng Fei and Chen Suisui on the shoulder, and said to the two: "Xiao Fei, Sui Sui, aside from my background, I'm very happy to get acquainted with the two of you, I'm very happy and happy to be friends with the two of you, Sui Sui, don't think too much, in the eyes of me and Xiao Fei, you are the Chen Suisui of Taojiabao, our good friend Chen Suisui." ”

Cheng Shifei nodded and said, "Brother Chen, I often speak heartlessly and openly, but I really treat you as a big brother." ”

Chen Suisui bit his lip as he looked at Yuan Xi's sincere gaze, as well as Cheng Cheng's slightly guilty expression.

His lips trembled a little, and he turned his back, hugged his thighs, and remained silent.

Cheng Shifei cried when he saw Chen Suisui again.

The two stepped forward, one left and one right, putting their arms on Chen Suisui's shoulders.

Yuan Xi said: "Suisui, you wait at home, I will look for you." ”

Cheng Shifei nodded and said, "I'll go too, Brother Chen, I'm not joking with you, if you can take that little girl's skin, ah no, the little girl is subdued, I'll call her sister-in-law in front of you." ”

Yuan Xi glared at Cheng Zheng, "Don't talk nonsense, the age of archery may not be able to fight, didn't you hear her call him Brother Long?"

Cheng Shifei was unconvinced: "I didn't hear, Brother Chen, don't forget that you still have two feet one." ”

Chen Suisui held back his tears, pulled out the short sword from his waist, and said seriously: "Look at the two of them, they don't look like unreasonable people, when I return, I will go to Niujiao Mountain and reason with them." ”

Speaking of this, Chen Suisui turned his head to look at Cheng Zhengfei, "Xiao Fei, tell me the truth, do you still hate that girl?"

Cheng Shifei looked at a meteor in the sky and said softly: "Don't hate it so much!"

Yuan Xi glanced at right and wrong.

The next day, on the official road, a young man walked against the caravan carriage and waved his hand.

Cheng Shifei shouted at the top of his voice: "Brother Chen, if you really have the ability to marry that girl, I will really forgive her." ”

A gust of wind blew and blew down three tears.
