A dream of deep spring

Two years later, early summer, May.

"This is a real gemstone from overseas. How can the stone produced in Dachu be so smooth?" The boss opened his eyes wide, as if he had been insulted, and argued: "I bought this from the shopkeeper Chen Da. Do you know who is behind him? The Duan family! The Duan family who came out of the prime minister, this is no lie."

Another guest on the side smiled and said, "Nine of the ten overseas items on this street claim to have been in the hands of the Duan family. Who knows if it's true."

The boss glared at him and was about to get angry. The man hurried away, and before he left, he said in a low voice, "It's just like this, so maybe it's a big deal." This made the boss very angry.

Overseas is a mysterious place for ordinary people.When looking at it, the people of Dachu always have the novelty of watching a circus and the aloofness of the heavenly kingdom—their thinking mode is still in the previous dynasty.In fact, according to Duan Tingzhen, the gap between Dachu and other countries is gradually narrowing.

He has an obligation to change all that.

The accumulation of the previous ten years has laid a good foundation for him. After he and the late emperor paid off the debt owed by the late emperor's father, the country finally began to gradually recover.He has reasons to believe that in two years, when the little emperor takes charge, what will be handed over to him will be a peaceful, peaceful and prosperous country.

They have been busy in the past two years, and there is not much time to think of Meng Chifeng, but occasionally at dusk, when the sun is about to set, watching people coming and going on the street, he will think of Meng Chifeng.

The wife is holding her husband's arm, and their children are asking the parents to buy a candied haws. The peddler who is about to close the stall smiles contentedly and carefully puts away the pockets full of copper coins. After a few words of persuasion, the mother of the child will blame him. Husband, take out the money to buy snacks for the children.

When their family left, Duan Tingzhen would think, what is Meng Chifeng doing at this time?

I've been thinking about it, thinking about it, until today, it's finally over.I received the letter today, and he will come back in another half a month.

When Duan Tingzhen returned to the mansion, he happened to see Shi Mo holding a small mirror and stuffing it into his pocket. When he saw him coming, Shi Mo behaved himself again and saluted respectfully.

Shi Mo stopped working as a school boy for him as early as last year, and instead learned to be a steward with Uncle Zhong, and even married a wife.Uncle Zhong thinks he's off the hook, and has been trying to temper him. Shi Mo knows that Duan Tingzhen and Uncle Zhong are in the same group, so he always puts on a serious face when facing Duan Tingzhen, which makes people laugh.

"Miss Six has sent a letter, asking if you have a letter from my aunt." Shi Mo said.

Duan Tingzhen said: "I just found out today, and they will be back in a month and a half. I went to the study to write a letter. You asked me to get the letter in the evening and sent it out tomorrow."

"Hey." Shi Mo responded, seeming to remember something, and said: "Today, Zhuangzi harvested a batch of crops brought back from overseas last year. If you want to eat, the little one will tell the chef to make it?"

"Well. Let them do whatever they want." Duan Tingzhen said absently.

Duan Zhirou finally agreed to Xu Zhaoqi, probably because he was really persistent, occasionally sending things to Duan's house, even Feng Xi's share.

Speaking of Feng Xi, Duan Zhirou had planned to take him away as early as when he was preparing to reconcile and leave, but it was not as good as God's calculations. After Feng Yong's death, something went wrong when she left, and this child stayed in Feng's house again. for two years.If Feng's mother hadn't passed away unexpectedly, it would have been extremely difficult for Duan Zhirou to take over the child.

Duan Tingzhen naturally felt comforted that his sister was doing well.He didn't have a good look towards Xu Zhaoqi in the past, but he just felt that this person was not good enough for his sister, since Duan Zhirou had agreed, it was appropriate to shake hands and make peace.

He went into the study, took out Meng Chifeng's letter and read it again.I wanted to reply, but I thought about it again, but half a month's journey away, it would be redundant to send it over, and it seemed hypocritical.Shaking his head, he took out a pen and paper and prepared to write a letter to his sister, but the words Meng Chifeng fell on the pen. He was startled, then laughed, and finished writing the letter without hesitation.

Hand over the letter to him when he comes back.

The next day, Duan Tingzhen went to the palace to meet the little emperor.

This child is almost eight years old now, and he has been exposed to political affairs much more than two years, so Duan Tingzhen spends more time with him than before.When the little emperor saw him today, he always hesitated to speak, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Sir, are you with the emperor's uncle?"

Duan Tingzhen and Meng Chifeng didn't specifically tell the little emperor about it, but he never shied away from it.When Meng Chifeng left, the little emperor was only in his early six years old, and he didn't know anything. Duan Tingzhen had never mentioned Meng Chifeng specifically for two years. When he heard him ask this question, Duan Tingzhen was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Is it someone else and the emperor?" What did you say?"

The little emperor said: "It was Madam Chengenhou who said it."

Mrs. Cheng Enhou is the little emperor's grandmother.When the little emperor was still young, Cheng Enhou was not very powerful, so he had no way to influence the little emperor.Later, Duan Tingzhen did not forbid them from contacting the children, but the little emperor was already sensible and not close to them.

Duan Tingzhen didn't argue, and asked him, "If so, what are your plans?"

The little emperor pretended to sigh, and said: "In the eyes of the master, is Xun'er such a person? If so, it is natural to marry the master and the emperor's uncle."

Duan Tingzhen was a little stunned.

The boy who is about to be eight years old looks more and more like his dead father, and he is somewhat similar to Meng Chifeng, but Meng Chifeng's face always has a bit of bitterness and aloofness on his face, while the little emperor has a gentle temperament, which is similar to Meng Chifeng's. His uncle had a very different feel to it.

"Xun'er thought, if Master is with Uncle Huang, wouldn't it be wonderful that there would be no other children sharing Bo Xun'er's favor?" He grinned and planned, "Uncle Huang always runs outside all year I can’t even see anyone, so why don’t you just give him to the master as his wife, and stay at home to take care of your husband and teach your children, how good it is.”

Duan Tingzhen said: "It's better to wait for your uncle to come back and tell him directly."

The young boy poked his neck and said confidently: "Just say it, I've grown up so much, it's impossible for the emperor to beat me again."

Duan Tingzhen smiled without saying a word.

From the slight panic at the beginning to the warmth in his heart now, this child has indeed given him many surprises.Pulling him so big with one hand, although he didn't really feed him and change his diapers, but after all, he is almost the same as his own. How can we not make people proud of raising such a good child?

"Master, you really don't need my marriage?" The little emperor added this sentence.

Duan Tingzhen was very pleased, and then knocked his head hard.

After half a month.

In Chongwen Pavilion, the sun is shining brightly in early summer.The little emperor was doing his homework, and Duan Tingzhen took what he had done before and was carefully correcting it.

The young boy now doesn't need anyone to stare at him, he is very self-conscious.Duan Tingzhen looked at his article, which was still a little immature but already had a strong character, and took a pen to revise a few places, or wrote comments.Duan Ting was able to concentrate, but the little emperor couldn't.As he was doing it, his mind drifted away, and he looked outside every two or three minutes.

"Don't look, you will come back when you should come back." Duan Tingzhen stood up, knocked on the little emperor's table, the little emperor smiled sheepishly, and said to Duan Tingzhen very curiously:

"Master, is it possible that you don't miss the emperor's uncle? There is a saying that Xiaobie is better than a newlywed, and after two years of separation, it should be..." Then he got his wish and was taught a lesson again, still beating his head.

Duan Tingzhen glared at him lightly, without much force, the little emperor was not afraid, and laughed by himself, Duan Tingzhen laughed so much that his hands were itchy, and he wanted to find out the ruler.

In the past few years, the child is a little older and more sensible, so he doesn't need to teach him a long time ago.This will see, it should be that the rebellious period is coming soon?

Seeing that his parents were really a little annoyed, the little emperor quickly shut up.

Fortunately, Duan Tingzhen was not in the mood to urge him to read at this time, and the two of them waited for some expected news together.Not long after, Jin Bao rushed in and said to the two of them, "Report to the emperor, the prince has arrived at the gate of the palace, do you want to announce?"

The little emperor glanced at the parents slowly, and said, "Xuan."

Today's sunshine is just right, not too dazzling, but with a bright warmth.In this daylight, Duan Tingzhen watched the man walk in step by step from a distance.

"I see the emperor." Meng Chifeng came in and knelt down.After saluting, he looked at Duan Tingzhen with an unconcealable smile in his eyes, as if there was no one else here.

The little emperor was very witty, he dismissed the palace people and slipped away himself, leaving only these two people here.Meng Chifeng was a little embarrassed, looked at his lover whom he hadn't seen for two years, and coughed dryly: "I'm back."

Duan Tingzhen said: "Well. Are you still going?"

"Not sure," he said.

Then he said, "Are you still willing to move?"

Duan Tingzhen didn't speak, looking at him, Meng Chifeng swallowed, strode the last few steps between the two of them, and gave him a hug that was warmer than this early summer.

......

After untiing the battle robe to spend the spring night, the general will not go to court early from then on.

Meng Chifeng's past few days have been extremely nourishing. The little emperor looked at it, as if giving his uncle a pair of wings, his uncle would be able to fly.As a result, seeing his uncle's frowning face today, he couldn't help but feel happy, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with the emperor?"

"It's your master..." Meng Chifeng couldn't talk about being harmonious with a child under ten years old, so he could only falter and say: "He is angry with me, why not persuade him by the emperor's servants."

The child laughed three times in his heart and said, do you still remember how you fell into trouble two years ago?If you don't take revenge, you are not a gentleman hahahaha finally let me seize the opportunity.Then he agreed well, and turned around to add fuel to Duan Tingzhen's meal.

Duan Tingzhen knew what Meng Chifeng said to the little emperor, but he didn't know how much he said, his face turned red and then turned pale. That night, Meng Chifeng went to sleep in the study.

Meng Chifeng was naturally aggrieved, so he sneaked back to his room at night, as for what to do...

The interesting things in the boudoir here are not enough for outsiders.
