The straight man who wears bright clothes is also afraid of messing with him

On February 13, the 21th year of Hongwu, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of Hongwu issued an imperial edict to allow King Yan to return to Beiping.Everyone in the palace got busy and was scheduled to leave for Peiping in half a month.Shen Qing specifically allowed Cui Miao to go home and settle down, and promised that if Li Cuilan was willing to follow, he would report to King Yan.After Cui Miao thanked her, she rode to her home on horseback.

When I got home, it was almost noon, and Li Cuilan was preparing lunch in the kitchen. Seeing Cui Miao came back, she quickly put down her work and greeted her.

Li Cuilan said happily: "Da Lang, why are you coming back when you have time?"

Since entering the Yan Palace, Cui Miao seldom went home, only came back once a month at the end of the month, stayed for one night, and returned to the Palace early the next morning, so the two of them didn't spend long time together.

"Mother." Cui Miao thought it would be difficult for him to speak, but he called it so naturally. Only then did he realize that the old woman in front of him had unconsciously entered his heart, just like Ms. Cui.

"Mother, the emperor issued an edict, His Royal Highness Zhun Yan will leave, and leave for Beiping half a month later. Shen Qianhu promised his son that he could take his mother to Peiping. The son came back this time just to ask his mother's opinion."

Li Cuilan asked ignorantly: "Peking? Is it far from here?"

"Thousands of miles away."

Li Cuilan was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "It's already noon, mother will prepare lunch first, we can talk after dinner if we have something to say."

Cui Miao understands that leaving home is a big deal, especially for the elderly who have lived here for half their life. Leaving their hometown is like breaking their roots, and it is hard to leave.

"Okay, the mother said so, the son is really hungry."

Upon hearing this, Li Cuilan quickly said: "Da Lang go back to the room for a while, the food is ready, mother will call you later."

Cui Miao wanted to help, but Li Cuilan was determined not to let him into the kitchen, so she had no choice but to follow her.But he didn't go back to his room, instead he moved a stool by the kitchen door and chatted with Li Cuilan.

Soon the food was on the table, a large plate of stir-fried meat with vegetables, two full bowls of rice, two multigrain pancakes, and two bowls of egg drop soup. It was considered the best meal.

The two mother and son were chatting, laughing and eating. This should be the most harmonious meal they have had since Cui Miao crossed over.It wasn't until after dinner that Li Cuilan finished packing that she came to Cui Miao's room.

"Da Lang, mother thought about it, but I still don't want to go." There were too many emotions in Li Cuilan's eyes, which made Cui Miao's nose ache.

"Mother, why? The journey is far away, and my son can't help himself. I don't know when he will be able to go home. If you follow, we can still meet often and take care of him, isn't it good?"

Li Cuilan looked at Cui Miao tenderly, and said, "Dalang, mother doesn't understand anything, and being with you is a burden, and I can't help you with anything. It's better to stay at home peacefully, at least not to bring you trouble. Besides, there are still Your father and mother are gone, he is left alone, he is too lonely, and mother is reluctant."

"Mother, are you willing to give up your son?"

Li Cuilan's eyes were red, she opened her mouth but couldn't say anything, she just gently stroked Cui Miao's face.

"Mother, you can go with your son." For the first time, Cui Miao looked at the woman in front of her and regarded her as her relative.

Li Cuilan withdrew her hand and said, "Dalang, it's hard to leave my homeland. My mother has lived here for decades, and she can't leave her. Dalang has grown up and can fly like an eagle. Mother can't delay you anymore. If it wasn't for the past Mother was confused for a moment..."

"Mother, it wasn't your fault back then!" Cui Miao interrupted Li Cuilan.

With tears in her eyes, Li Cuilan said with a trembling voice: "Da Lang, my mother can see it! Every wound, every callus, and every blister on your body, my mother can see it! Da Lang, I'm sorry, Mother made you suffer!"

Suddenly, Cui Miao felt a sense of grievance in his heart, and his eyes were sour. He hugged the woman who had experienced vicissitudes of life, and called "Mother" sincerely.

Cui Miao has indeed suffered a lot in the past two years. Although he never complained of suffering or tiredness, he still felt fear and grievance in his heart. He thought he was hiding it well, but the woman in front of him could see clearly. This is his mother.

The mother and son hugged each other for a long time, just holding each other quietly, but Cui Miao knew that she was crying silently, her body trembling in her arms, and the clothes wet on her shoulders all told him sincerely, a mother's reluctance to her son .

No matter how reluctant he was, time would not stop for anyone. Cui Miao was leaving early the next morning. He handed over all his money to Li Cuilan and told her to take care of her health.And Li Cuilan didn't say anything, just looked at Cui Miao tenderly.It wasn't until Cui Miao rode away and could no longer hear her voice that she called out "Da Lang" loudly.

Back at the palace, Cui Miao put the horses back into the stable, and went straight to Shen Qing's Green Bamboo Garden.When he came to the gate of the courtyard, the guard at the gate rushed out to greet him and said, "Cui Zongqi is here."

Cui Miao asked with a smile, "Is Qianhu here?"

The boy nodded and replied, "Yes, I'll report to you now, little one."

The boy turned around and entered the door to announce, while Cui Miao waited at the door.About 5 minutes later, the servant turned around, bowed and said, "Mr. Cui, please."

Cui Miao returned the gift, stepped into the yard, and walked all the way to the door of the study, the servant stopped and said, "Cui Zongqi, your excellency is inside, please."

Cui Miao stood at the door and knocked. After Shen Qing answered, he opened the door and walked in.

"I have seen Qianhu under the bid."

Shen Qing put down the book in his hand, looked at Cui Miao, and said, "What does your mother say?"

Cui Miao smiled wryly and said, "Mother decided to stay, thank you Qianhu for your kindness."

"Why?"

"It happened about two years ago and she can't worry about it, lest she will cause trouble for the bidder again."

Shen Qing nodded slightly, and said lightly: "Have you settled down?"

"Yes, thank you Qianhu for your concern. If Qianhu doesn't order, I'll leave the bid first."

Shen Qing pointed out: "Recently act more safely, don't push yourself like last time."

Cui Miao was startled, and asked cautiously, "Qianhu, what happened?"

Shen Qing was silent for a while, then said: "Sun Ping is dead, the prince is furious."

Cui Miao subconsciously asked: "How did he die, and when did it happen?"

Shen Qing didn't respond, Cui Miao came back to her senses, and quickly saluted: "Qianhu, the mark is beyond the norm, please don't blame Qianhu."

"It's good for you to know about this matter. Before you leave Fengyang, don't be too conspicuous."

"Yes, thank you Qianhu for your reminder, and bid to resign."

After Cui Miao left, Shen Qing suddenly got up and came to the door, and said to the boy at the door: "Prepare the horse."

The servant responded, and quickly walked towards the stable, Shen Qing went back to the bedroom and took out a bundle, turned around and left the room, came to the gate of the palace, jumped on the horse and galloped away.

Li Cuilan sent Cui Miao away, feeling uncomfortable, not doing any busy work, but sitting in the courtyard, staring at the open courtyard door.

Suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes, and Li Cuilan's dull eyes immediately lit up, she quickly stood up and went out to meet him, she saw a strange man riding on a fast horse from a distance, her hopeful eyes disappeared, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.Just as she was about to turn around and go home, the horse was already approaching.

Shen Qing dismounted, bowed and saluted, "May I ask if this aunt is Cui Miao's mother?"

Li Cuilan was startled, and quickly replied: "Yes. May I ask who is this sir?"

"Auntie, my name is Shen Qing. I'm Cui Miao's good friend. I belong to the same Yanshan Guard as Cui Miao. Auntie can just call me Aqing."

Li Cuilan said with a smile: "So it's Da Lang's friend, come in quickly, let's talk at home."

"Auntie please."

Li Cuilan saw that Shen Qing insisted, she didn't give in any more, she walked ahead, and while tidying up, she said: "The house is a bit messy, Ah Qing, don't mind. Sit in the room, I'll get you a bowl of water."

Shen Qing stopped Li Cuilan, and said in a gentle voice: "Auntie, you are welcome, I have an errand, so I cannot stay for a long time. This time, I am here mainly to send you some things on behalf of Dalang."

"Give me something?" Li Cuilan asked a little puzzled, "Da Lang just left early in the morning, why didn't he mention it?"

"Because I was busy, I forgot it for a while. I was ordered to go on a business trip nearby, so I asked me to bring it back and hand it over to my aunt." Shen Qing said while unpacking the baggage on his body, and put the things on the table.

Li Cuilan stared blankly at the contents inside. There were dozens of banknotes, each of which was the same. There were hundreds of them. A pair of gold hairpins, a pair of silver bracelets, and a pair of emerald earrings were Li Cuilan's workmanship and style. Never seen before.

Li Cuilan looked at Shen Qing in fear, and said, "Ah Qing, are you sure that Da Lang asked you to send it here?"

Shen Qing nodded affirmatively, and said: "Auntie, don't need to be nervous. Da Lang is different from the past now, and the prince thinks highly of it. These are all things he did well, and the prince rewarded them, so you can take them away with peace of mind."

Li Cuilan couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief when she heard the words, she didn't take a second look at these things, but instead asked: "Ah Qing, the errand given by the prince must be dangerous, right? How is Da Lang recently?"

Seeing this, Shen Qing respected Li Cuilan even more, and comforted him: "Don't worry, Auntie, Da Lang is a very good person in the army, everyone will take care of him, and nothing will happen. You just need to take care of your health and don't let him be distracted."

Li Cuilan sighed, and said: "Since Dalang recovered from that illness, he seems to be a different person. He is much more sensible than before. He was only allowed to study since he was a child, and he was never asked to do any work. Dalang strives for success." At the age of only 14, he passed the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination one after another. I thought he would be the champion in the future, but unfortunately,,,,,, "

Shen Qing comforted: "Auntie, don't blame yourself, Da Lang is very good now, he is valued by the prince, and his achievements in the future will be limitless!"

"Ah Qing doesn't need to comfort me. Although Dalang never said it, I know he must have suffered a lot. Oh, look at me, the old lady just talks too much. Ah Qing still has some errands, so I won't delay you. Trouble Give me a message to tell Da Lang to take care of himself, mother doesn't expect him to be very successful, but only hopes that he can live well."

Shen Qing bowed deeply, and said: "Auntie's words, Qing must bring them. Auntie, you are at home alone, it is inevitable that someone will spy on you. It is best to exchange the precious banknotes for food. Auntie does not need to send them far away, Qing bids farewell!"
