Chapter 49:
Luoshen rushed to the front door in one breath, Fang turned around the screen, and saw the scene outside the door at a glance.
Tonight's surface of the river was filled with a thin layer of moist white mist, and the mist invaded Bailuzhou. The front door was open, and the lantern hanging high at the door was dimly lit under the shroud of cold fog.
Li Mu stood in the dim light outside the door, his figure like a quiet peak in the foggy night.
Luo Shen didn't know why he was so excited just now, but when he heard him coming, his brain became hot, and he went straight out like this.
Maybe it was a nervous day, and then was disturbed by the terrible news like Jiao Lei, and suddenly learned that he didn't go to the appointment at all, and the whole person suddenly relaxed, is this so rude?
Luoshen realized that there was something wrong with him, he stopped in a hurry, and the person was fixed next to the screen wall.
Because he had just been running all the way, he stopped at this moment, and he couldn't stop breathing, his chest was heaving slightly, hesitating, before deciding whether to continue forward or turn back immediately, Li Mu had already seen her, the figure moved, and the step was easy. Stepping over the threshold, he strode towards her.
Luo Shen had to stand still.
He stopped in front of her, with a distance of one person in the middle, looking at her.
"I'm back."
He said with a smile, as if he had just left yesterday.
"I heard from you, Aye, yesterday that you have been ill a few days ago. How are you now?"
There are many servants on Bailuzhou, and Luoshen rarely has time to be alone. But living here, there is still always a sense of emptiness and desolation.
Especially in such a winter night with a faint river mist.
But at this moment, his voice was very warm, and the two eyes that looked at her were smiling and also filled with deep concern.
Luoshen's face was quietly a little hot, he lowered his eyes, stared at the hem of his robe, and said, "It's done."
A brief moment of silence.
Although she lowered her eyes, she also felt that his two eyes fell on her, and she realized that she ran out wearing only the middle single clothes in the room.
What's more, a cool feeling came from the sole of the right foot, only to realize that the shoe on the foot had run away, and now he was standing on the ground with his bare foot.
Luoshen was immediately embarrassed and didn't feel cold, just wanted to go back quickly.
"I'm going home first..."
She said vaguely, and turned around to leave in a hurry, but her shoulders suddenly felt warm. When she turned around, she saw that Li Mu had actually taken off his robe, walked over, and put it on her shoulders.
His clothes were large, thick and warm, and they seemed to be filled with the heat of his body. As soon as they fell on her shoulders, they wrapped her whole body like a cloud.
Luoshen stopped again.
Li Mu shook his head, looking at her with a smile in his eyes, as if she was just a reckless child in front of him.
He tucked the placket for her, then looked over her shoulder, as if he saw something, walked over, picked up the soft-soled shoe she had just lost, came back, squatted in front of her, and held it lightly with one hand He grabbed her right ankle, raised it slightly, and then helped her put on her shoe.
There was a chaotic sound of footsteps behind him.
Aju is fat, and runs fast without Luoshen's body. Finally, he catches up here. When he sees that Li Mu is really here, the little lady is not only wrapped in his clothes, but he is also squatting, as if he is putting on her shoes. Abruptly, he stopped.
The maids also caught up, and upon seeing this, they looked at each other, but no one dared to say a word.
The expression on Aju's face seemed to have knocked over a sauce shop, and the five flavors were mixed.
"Little lady, come back—"
She covered her stomach, which was aching from running, and stretched out her arms, as if to bring her back.
Li Mu put on her shoes and let go of her ankle.
But the skin still seemed to retain the feeling when his palm touched it.
Warm, with a little bit of a grind.
Suddenly hearing Aju's voice, Luoshen suddenly came to his senses, not only his face, but also his ears were on fire.
Aju hurriedly took the opportunity to greet Li Mu, vacated the ground, stood in front of Luoshen, and separated the two.
"Why did Li Langjun come at this moment... During the day, the eldest princess has been waiting..."
She was gasping for breath as she spoke.
Li Mu nodded slightly, but did not respond, his eyes only fell on Luoshen's face behind her.
"I have something to tell her."
Aju was about to speak, but Luoshen had already nodded: "Come in."
Aju's forcible insertion finally rescued Luoshen from the predicament just now, and when he settled down, seeing that he really seemed to have something to say, he naturally wouldn't refuse.
Aju opened her mouth.
The eldest princess is not here, and the two of them are still a legitimate husband and wife. Don't say a few words. At this moment, they want to have the same room. As long as the little lady nods, she can't stop it no matter what. Seeing Luoshen turn around and go inside, Li Mu also follows Going up, I hurriedly called someone to chase after the eldest princess, and I hurriedly followed.
Luoshen took Li Mu to the place where he lived, led him to the flower hall, told him to wait a moment, then went back to the bedroom, changed clothes, combed his hair, put on his shoes and socks, and looked in the mirror. He personally took the coat he had just taken off on himself, and returned to the flower hall.
Luoshen asked people to wait outside, went in by himself, returned the clothes to him, and thanked him.
Li Mu smiled and took it, but did not speak immediately, his eyes fell on her again, seeming to be thoughtful.
Luo Shen was a little uncomfortable when he looked at him. He remembered that he asked about his illness just now. Although he could see that his hands and feet were good at all, there was nothing wrong with him, but the so-called polite exchanges, he seemed to greet him as well. Then he asked like a gourd: "You have won a big victory, which is amazing. Have you been injured before? Is everything okay?"
Li Mu was startled, but did not expect that the first sentence she asked was actually this.
Facing the pair of bright eyes that the girl opposite looked at, in a trance, in his mind, the previous wedding night, when he took off his clothes, showed the scars on his back in front of the woman, and the other pair showed She couldn't hide the shock and distressed beautiful eyes.
She is still her. At this moment, this pair of beautiful eyes that seemed familiar, still looked at him like this.
But in the eyes of this pair of young girls, he could no longer appreciate the emotional feeling that made him soften at first sight, and even willing to offer everything for her.
The arrow that hit him last time passed through the armor and penetrated into the flesh. Fortunately, the arrowhead was blocked by the rib and did not penetrate deep into the heart, but it also cracked a rib.
For him, this kind of injury is only a small injury, and it is no major problem since he has maintained it until now, and he can move freely. It's just that I occasionally exert force, and it's still a little painful.
Li Mu returned to his senses and smiled: "I'm fine, I haven't been hurt."
Luoshen nodded solemnly: "It's fine..."
"Aye said you would come today. I thought you came during the day... There should be something else, delay?"
She actually wanted to ask what happened to him and that Zhu Jiyue. But he held back and only tried one sentence like this.
After asking, he glanced at him quietly.
His eyebrows moved slightly, and his eyes fell on her face again.
"Ami, would you like to come back with me now?"
He didn't answer her, but instead asked a question.
Luo Shen was stunned.
"That's it. I want to ask yourself first. If you want to stay at home for a while, I'll be late, and I'll pick you up later in the year after I've been busy. If you want to come back with me Jingkou, I will take you away."
Luo Shen was stunned.
What does he mean?
Could it be that he knew about his mother's attitude toward his mother when he went to Beijing to pick her up, and was tired of her obstruction. Now that he has just been promoted again, and things are busy, he didn't want to bother to pick her up, so he deliberately said that he was asking. her own meaning?
In the bottom of my heart, a trace of shame and grievance slowly poured out.
Previously, he was deliberately thinking about breaking up the marriage and marrying him. It's only been three or two months now, and she has only been promoted to General Wei, and she has begun to dislike her?
She stood up abruptly and raised a proud little chin.
"Go and do your business! I don't have to bother you to pick me up again. It's good to stay at home! It's getting late, I'm going back to the house, you can do it yourself."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left.
Li Mu stretched out his hand, took her arm from behind, and took it lightly, she couldn't help but turned to him again.
He looked at her and smiled, with a little helplessness in his eyes again, and said, "Don't think about yourself! I want to pick you up immediately. But your mother won't let you go. If you don't want to come back, I don't want to be too much. It's too much for you, so I'll ask you what you mean first. If you're willing to go with me, I'll wait for your mother to return, make it clear to her, and take you away."
He explained patiently.
Luo Shen immediately felt comfortable in his heart, and felt a little embarrassed. He didn't say a word, and lowered his eyes.
"Ami, are you willing to go with me?"
His voice rang in his ears again.
How to do?
Should he go with him, or continue to live at home?
Luoshen suddenly became confused, and even faintly panicked.
She really doesn't know...
She stood in front of him with her head lowered, motionless.
"I see. Then I'll stay and wait for your mother to return."
After a while, his voice rang in his ears again.
Luo Shen slowly raised his eyes.
He was looking at himself with a smile.
He has made the final decision for her.
…
This private ferry to Bailuzhou has a row of bungalows, where guards and horses used by the guards are stationed on a daily basis.
The car that Aju took when he came, stopped here.
Xiao Yongjia hated the ox's slow pace, and asked people to change to two horses. After ordering the horses, he got into the car, gave the order, and rushed to Qingxi Garden with all his strength.
The car bumped so badly that Xiao Yongjia could barely sit still when he jumped.
But she didn't feel it at all.
The only feeling was an uncontrollable anger.
That day, she went to the Taoist temple to pray for her daughter, but when she was tired, she went to rest in the cloud room in the apse that was exclusively hers.
This is not the first time. Unexpectedly, after lying down for a moment, a beautiful young man came out from the depths of the inner room.
Xiao Yongjia naturally knows what this means and who arranged it.
She walked away, and later drove away all the people inside, but the bad anger in her heart has not disappeared until today, and it still makes her feel angry and ashamed when she thinks about it.
There was a nameless anger in her heart, mixed with some kind of sadness that no one could tell, these days, always haunting her heart.
In the eyes of others, how pitiful she is, Xiao Yongjia, even that old goddess wisely arranged this for her!
That's all. What she never imagined was that Zhu Jiyue, that slut, despised herself to the extent that she dared to reach out to her son-in-law!
And that Li Mu, she really did not read it wrong. Needless to say, from a humble background, this kind of character actually made him earn his daughter.
Gao Qiao, this old thing has done a good job!
fair enough.
The new hatred and the old hatred will be settled tonight, and then she will complete this absurd marriage for her daughter!
"Hurry up!"
She opened the curtains and drank again.
With a "smack", the coachman whipped his whip and slapped the horse's back.
On the empty suburban road in Jiankang's winter night, this group of people roared towards the eastern suburbs.
…
At the end of Xu Shi, on the driveway outside Qingxi Garden in the eastern suburbs, it was as dark as a ghost. Only the faint red light from the two lanterns in front of the gate at the end of the driveway exuded a strange sense of charm. , attracting people from the night road to run towards it.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves from far to near broke the silence around them.
A man rode his horse to the front of the garden alone, dismounted and knocked on the door. He had been waiting for the doorman there to open the door and greeted him. He took the invitation from him. Seeing that the invitation was correct, out of curiosity, he secretly glanced at the person who came. Can't help but be surprised.
The man smiled at him, as if to let him see more clearly, and brought his face closer.
The concierge was taken aback, and hurriedly retracted his gaze, not scrutinizing it any further. Leading the man towards the secret place inside, puzzled.
I don't know what the mistress was stimulated by. Why this time, this guest was born with such a shabby appearance?
He was muttering in his heart, but he didn't dare to show half of it on his face. Leading the man, he came quickly. In front of the high hall, which was hidden by trees in the courtyard, he bowed and invited him in, but he didn't dare to stay, and turned around and hurried away.
The man looked around, then swaggered inwardly, went up to the tall building, pushed open the hidden door in front of him, and stepped in.
Inside the door is a beautiful house with gorgeous decorations, the Saibei Quezhu Palace. Under the shadow of the layers of brocade curtains, it is faintly visible that there is a banquet at the end of the crystal curtain. On one end of the banquet, there is a long sword with a scabbard decorated with gems, and at the other end, there are exquisite delicacies, but there are no figures nearby.
The room was quiet and the light was very dim, only a lotus lamp was lit on the floor-to-ceiling lotus lamp stand in the corner of the door. There was an intoxicating fragrance in the air.
The man took a sip of the aroma, then swaggered inwards, opened the crystal curtain with a "swoosh", sat cross-legged behind the seat, poured a glass of wine, and was about to put it in his mouth, when suddenly there was a sound behind him. woman laughs.
"I told you how serious you are! Didn't you rush to leave yesterday? It turned out to be just serious!"
The delicate woman's voice came out.
A graceful figure in thin clothes walked out from behind the layers of curtains in the inner room, came behind the man, and stuck it on.
"You foe! Originally, I despised a warrior like you the most, but I was partial to you, and I actually made up my mind early..."
The well-maintained hands also touched the man's broad, muscular back, and went through the armpits to the front of his chest.
"Thanks to the great love, my grandson Fangzhi will not let his wife down, and I am willing to do my best!"
With a gruff voice, the man put down his glass, turned his face, and grinned at the woman behind him.
Zhu Jiyue suddenly saw a black, furry face full of beards sticking out in front of him. He was so frightened that he screamed like a ghost, stepped back a few steps suddenly, stood unsteady, and fell to the ground with his buttocks.
She widened her eyes in horror, pointed at the black-skinned man with a beard in front of her, and said sternly, "Who are you? Dare to pretend to be Li Mu to come here to meet me?"
Sun Fangyi took off his shirt and threw it on the ground, giggling, shaking his sturdy muscles, and walked towards the woman on the ground.
"Don't be afraid, Madam! My brother Li is a family man, how can I come over tonight to make an appointment? He asked me to come and sue Madam on his behalf. Sun had no other intentions, but Madam was so fond of it, Even if Sun is giving up his life tonight, he must satisfy his wife!"
Zhu Jiyue screamed again and again, rolled and crawled up from the ground, grabbed a bottle of wine on the mat, and threw it towards Sun Fangzhi.
"get out-"
Sun Fangzhi stopped, patted his chest, and made a thud.
"My physique, you have only touched it just now, and it is even better than my brother Li, but my wife doesn't look down on me? Although I haven't married yet, I have had a few good looks, and all of them have used my grandson. satisfying!
"Get off - get off right away for me - someone - someone -"
Zhu Jiyue's face was red and white, white and red, and her throat was almost torn. On the other hand, those servants, knowing that the mistress was doing well tonight, all went to hide and be lazy, and such movements did not attract any sound from outside.
Sun Fangzhi was furious, turned his face suddenly, and slapped the banquet with such force that he slapped the banquet to pieces, breaking it into two pieces, and the sawdust flew. All over the place.
"You woman! It makes no sense! I was just here to send a letter, but who would have thought that you would hook me up and make me feel so angry! Now you think I don't have my brother Li Zhou Zheng? You Who am I?"
How has Zhu Jiyue ever seen such an evil spirit? His face turned pale with fright, and he dared not speak again.
"That's all, just go, go, bad luck!"
Sun Fangzhi changed his face back to a friendly face again, and brought his hairy head closer to him again.
"If Madam is lonely next time, if you want to try me, just call me."
After finishing speaking, he picked up the clothes he had just taken off, put them back on, and then left Zhu Jiyue and walked away.
He followed the same path out of the gate. The porter was surprised when he saw that he came out not long after he entered, and couldn't help but stare at him.
Sun Fangzhi was so angry that he shouted loudly, and the concierge was frightened and did not dare to look again, so he hurriedly sent him out.
The door behind him closed. Sun Fangzhi did not leave immediately, but stopped behind the nearby vegetation.
However, after half a stick of incense, at the end of the driveway, there was another roar of horseshoes and wheels, and soon, the group of horses approached.
Sun Fangzhi hurriedly got on his horse and walked towards the opposite side.
When the driver saw someone coming on horseback from the opposite side, he waved his whip to signal the other side to give way. Seeing that the other side refused to give way, he had to stop the car abruptly, and said angrily, "Who are you, why don't you give way soon?"
Sun Fangzhi smiled and said: "I am the brother of Li Mu, the new general of Wei. General Li received an invitation from the owner of this room, inviting him to come to the banquet tonight. He went to Bailuzhou to pick up his wife tonight, why did he come here? It's up to me to resign for him. I came out and was going back to the city."
Xiao Yongjia was sitting in the carriage, and he could hear the words outside clearly.
Not only did the anger not decrease by half, but it became more and more raging and could no longer be contained.
Just yourself! Zhu Jiyue actually dared to put her hand on her daughter's husband's head!
She got out of the carriage without saying a word, and walked quickly towards the red-lit door ahead.
Sun Fangzhi thought that she had heard his words, and knew it was a misunderstanding, and when he heard that Li Mu went to Bailuzhou tonight, he would turn around on the spot, but he didn't expect that she would go inside, and watched her come to the door. In front of the door, he raised his hand and held the knocker.
Got, got.
The iron ring made two crisp knocks on the door.
The doorman inside heard the movement and opened the door again. By the light of the lantern, he saw a woman in beautiful clothes standing outside the door this time. He recognized that Xiao Yongjia was coming. He closed the door and refused, froze in the door, not knowing what to do for a while.
"Where is that **** Zhu Jiyue, take me there!"
Xiao Yongjia stared at the doorman coldly, word for word.
