Save the disabled male protagonist

The author has something to say: This hand that always makes trouble is as hateful as its master.

Lu Yuanming could hold his hand firmly in his palm without any effort, and stop the spreading itch.

But when the skin was touching and the fingertips were rubbed together, Lu Yuanming realized that a person's hands can be so soft.

In the endless darkness in front of him, reality became extremely distant, only the slender and soft touch and the warm and delicate heat of this hand reminded him that all these existences were not ethereal.

Lu Yuanming subconsciously tightened his grip.

But at this moment, not only did the itching in my heart not subside, but ripples appeared instead.

Suddenly, the tightly clenched palm seemed to become hotter than before. This kind of temperature seemed to be what I longed for every time I was alone in the battlefield and my face was covered with wind and frost...

Lu Yuanming actually wanted to say something just now, but at this moment, his mind was in a trance, and he put it elsewhere...

Lu Yuanming grabbed Chu Xiao's hand suddenly, and his heart trembled slightly. He originally wanted to use the name of asking words, but he seemed to have failed.

Seen through by Lu Yuanming, even though Chu Xiao never cared about these things, he was still a little guilty. From now on, he had to be more careful.

Chu Xiao originally wanted to break free from the opponent's hand, but at this moment, he only felt that Lu Yuanming's hand was getting tighter and tighter.

His hands looked fair, but in fact there was a thin layer of calluses on the fingertips and palms, which felt rough to the touch. There was no doubt that these were hands that used to gallop across the world, shoot arrows and lift knives.

But now, this hand was thin and had distinct joints, and even the fingertips were cold.

Chu Xiao thought of the westerly wind that was getting colder outside day by day, and his expression gradually softened.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a noisy sound from outside, as if there was some movement.

Before Chu Xiao and Lu Yuanming could let go of their handshake, a few servant girls shouted anxiously outside: "My son, my concubine, someone is coming from the palace."

Lu Yuanming was already prepared, besides, he was used to leading troops abroad and was used to receiving imperial edicts. Of course, they were mostly oral orders at that time, and even the emperor often saw each other, so what is this imperial edict?

Now Lu Yuanming is not in a hurry, it was only after he came to his senses that he realized how long he had held it just now, Lu Yuanming looked a little weird, he quickly let go of his hand, and lay down silently.

Just as Chu Xiao was about to go out, he looked down again, and tucked up the corners of the quilt around Lu Yuanming's shoulders, so that he couldn't find any mistakes.

When Chu Xiao stepped out of the main house, he saw a green-clothed father-in-law approaching from the corridor. He was holding a dust whisk in his hand, and there were several small yellow doors behind him holding a box and carrying several boxes.

After seeing Chu Xiao, the father-in-law stopped, squinted his eyes and looked at him carefully.

Chu Xiao was not surprised that the other party was curious about him. In the past few days, he knew his reputation outside, and as Lu Yuanming's husband and wife, no one didn't pay much attention to him, right?

It's just that the father-in-law had been looking at him for too long, Chu Xiao smiled slightly in his heart, but there was no abnormality on his face, as if he was extra cautious.

Seeing such a scene, Eunuch Gao was a little more certain. He smiled and said, "This is the concubine of the crown prince? Our family is polite. Can the crown prince be in the back room?"

Chu Xiao nodded in agreement, and said softly and delicately: "It's difficult for the son to stand up to greet him now, and I hope my father-in-law will forgive me."

Eunuch Gao had expected it a long time ago, he casually flicked his whisk and said, "It's okay, our family knows."

After finishing speaking, Eunuch Gao walked into the back room, his eyes flickered slightly when he saw the scene in front of him.

The layout of the room really surprised Gao Dehuai. Although he already knew that Lu Yuanming married a man, those who knew the inside story knew what was going on... Naturally, no one would take it seriously. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, Who would have thought that Lu Yuanming would really live with this person?

Could it be that Lu Yuanming really fell in love with such a man and wife?This is because of him, not Lu Yuanming himself?

But just now Gao Dehuai took a closer look and thought that this Chu Xiao was ordinary, but he had an air of forgetfulness, and when he looked more carefully, he found that this person was really extraordinary.

Gao Dehuai has been following Sima Qian, and has been by Sima Qian's side since he was the King of Changshan. Sima Qian is also a lustful person. Counting these years, Gao Dehuai has also seen many beauties, and he knows in his heart that beauties are not skin deep.

Apart from his appearance, this Chu Xiao was stunning everywhere, especially those eyes.

Such a person is rare, Gao Dehuai suddenly felt strange, but he didn't think much about it, he just secretly said that it was a pity, after entering the back room, he also saw Lu Yuanming.

I saw Lu Yuanming lying on the bed, his whole body wrapped in the quilt, looking more and more thin and haggard.

The little yellow door behind him stepped forward and said, "Eunuch Gao is here."

At this time, Lu Yuanming struggled to get up.

There was a little blush on his already pale face, but the blush would not look healthier because of a little more blood, but because he looked sick and abrupt when he was struggling to prop up his body on the bed with his elbows. , Those eyes that used to be like cold stars are now tightly closed, reminding others all the time that he is now blind.

Seeing this scene, Eunuch Gao gasped, and he immediately said in a quick voice: "Your Majesty, you don't need to be too polite. Your Majesty is sympathetic. Your Majesty is inconvenient now, so just lie down. Don't embarrass our family."

Hearing his voice, Lu Yuanming also recognized who this person was.

This person's name is Gao Dehuai, he is Sima Qian's confidant, he is low-key, and has always been smooth in dealing with the world. He was promoted to the head of the palace the year before last, and he is a very popular figure in the palace.

Sima Qian sent Gao Dehuai here this time, which seemed to show the importance he attached to him, with the intention of dispelling the previous grievances.However, in Lu Yuanming's view, the other party may still have the task of observing him.

Gao Dehuai asked someone to take out the bright yellow brocade from the box, and began to read the will.

And after reading the decree, those heavy and heavy boxes were also put down by several small yellow doors, Gao Dehuai said with a smile on his face: "Master Hou, our family's task is completed, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so I will return to the palace to return to order. "

Gao Dehuai is now deeply favored by Sima Qian, but he is just a slave. Since Sima Qian proclaimed himself emperor, Gao Dehuai has felt that the holy will has become more and more unpredictable.

This time, Sima Qian ordered to show kindness to Lu Yuanming. Although it meant that the Holy Majesty began to pay attention to the matter of Lu Tong and his son before, and wanted to conduct a thorough investigation again, but after all, there was no result.

Gao Dehuai also didn't forget how Sima Qian was furious two months ago in the court hall. The strange thing was that when he returned to the palace, Sima Qian's expression was relaxed instead of angry.

Gao Dehuai didn't dare to think deeply about the meaning of this.

In short, say less and make less mistakes, Gao Dehuai is now more cautious than before after being promoted to the head of the Ouchi.

After Lu Yuanming cleared his throat a few times, he said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you, Eunuch Gao, Your Majesty Long En, I am so tearful, I hope Eunuch will convey it for me, madam, send Eunuch off."

Gao Dehuai repeatedly said no, but thought in his heart, it seems that the matter between these two people is still true...

As soon as Gao Dehuai came out of the Hou's mansion, he got into the sedan chair and went to the palace without stopping, thinking about how to return to his life along the way.

After all, Sima Qian gave him a lot of tasks this time.

At this time, when he was about to reach Chengxin Hall, the emperor's study, suddenly a court lady stopped him.

Gao Dehuai looked up, and saw a girl in palace costume slowly turning out from the corner not far away. She was wearing a water-red brocade dress with colorful flowers and butterflies, and luxurious accessories, which complemented her already delicate and lovely face. It is a little more luxurious and gorgeous.

She is the 15-year-old Fuhui Princess Sima Lan.

Gao Dehuai secretly groaned, he didn't know that Princess Fuhui was waiting for him here specially, and Gao Dehuai knew exactly what the princess was waiting for him here.

However, Princess Fuhui has an extraordinary status, she is the daughter of Empress Xiao Wei, and she is also the sister of the prince.

Sima Qian's heirs are not rare, but there is only one daughter, so Sima Lan is deeply loved by Sima Qian, as can be seen from her title "Fuhui".

Gao Dehuai didn't dare to offend many people in the palace, this one was one.

Gao Dehuai immediately bowed and saluted, "I have seen the princess before."

Sima Lan didn't play sloppy with him, and asked straight to the point: "Eunuch Gao is free, but you just came back from Pingnanhou Mansion?"

Gao Dehuai had no choice but to say: "Reporting to the princess, the servant has indeed gone to the Marquis Mansion to announce the decree, and His Majesty is still waiting for the servant to return."

Sima Lan raised her eyebrows, and said coquettishly: "Eunuch, what's the point of talking with me? Father will not blame you. Eunuch just needs to tell me, how is he... now?" He doesn't need to guess at all. , everyone knows who it is.

Gao Dehuai hesitated for a moment, and then picked up a small matter and said a few things. As for the relationship between Lu Yuanming and his husband and wife, how could Gao Dehuai dare to speak out?

Fortunately, Sima Lan didn't intend to ask at all, but after learning about Lu Yuanming's current situation, he frowned and said, "Is he in such a state now? If it weren't for the fact that there is no one around, how could it be so? It's a pity Father forbids me to leave the palace at will, otherwise I can go to him..."

"Princess be careful!"

At this moment, Gao Dehuai wished that he didn't have these ears, and the princess was still in his boudoir, how could he say such a thing, besides, it's not like Lu Yuanming has no one to take care of him now...

Sima Lan glanced at Gao Dehuai impatiently. She didn't mind that Gao Dehuai knew that her father knew what she was thinking anyway, but his father...

Sima Lan finally snorted coldly: "Forget it, anyway, it will be fine in a while, Eunuch Gao, you can go."

It was only then that Gao Dehuai stepped into Chengxin Hall as if he had been pardoned, and after a short while, he came to Sima Qian.

Sima Qian was reviewing the memorial when he suddenly raised his head and said, "What? Did Lan Er look for you just now?"

Gao Dehuai's face tightened instantly, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has learned..."

Before he finished apologizing, Sima Qian waved his hands calmly and said, "Forget it, isn't my daughter clear about it? What did I tell you?"

Gao Dehuai heaved a sigh of relief and said in a low voice: "I tell your majesty, now Pingnan Marquis Lu Yuanming is indeed..."

As soon as Gao Dehuai left, Chu Xiao asked his servants to open the box, and saw that it was full of neat gold bars.

What the emperor said about bestowing daughters of gold was actually more than that, because there were corresponding rewards when he was awarded a title, and there were many things added up.

Speaking of which, since Chu Xiao took over the power of the Hou Mansion from Lu Yan that day, Chu Xiao knew how exaggerated the real accounts of the Pingnan Hou Mansion were.

And the huge warehouse of the Hou Mansion is just the tip of the iceberg.

Lu Yan also bought a lot of side courtyards to store all these. Of course, before transferring them to Shuntian Mansion, Chu Xiao asked people to hide these jewels and wealth in another place.

So in front of outsiders, the emperor's gift of a thousand pieces of gold is a great reward, but in fact neither Chu Xiao nor Lu Yuanming look down on them.

But the beautiful gold looks always make people feel happy, Chu Xiao picked up a few and played with them fondly.

Hearing the movement in the room, but seeing no one for a long time, Lu Yuanming could almost imagine the scene of the young man throwing himself on the pile of gold, smiling so hard that his eyes couldn't see it.

Lu Yuanming couldn't help but "tow" in his heart, remembering that the other party was still clinging to him before, but he didn't expect to be tempted by these extraneous things in a blink of an eye.

For some reason, Lu Yuanming couldn't help but said coolly: "Follow your master, can you be missing in the future?"

After Lu Yuanming finished speaking, he realized that the meaning of this sentence was so strange, as if he was deliberately molesting the other party.

But in fact, Lu Yuanming didn't mean that. He just wanted Chu Xiao to focus on himself.

As for why he did this, Lu Yuanming didn't think much about it.

At this time, although he felt a little awkward, but thinking that this person usually teased him, so what if he teased this person a little bit?

After Lu Yuanming figured it out, he held his breath and waited for Chu Xiao's response.

And hearing the words "your father", Chu Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

What is this called?

Although Chu Xiao has long accepted the fact that there are male wives in this world, and it happens that he is still married to Lu Yuanming's "male wife", how could Chu Xiao take it seriously.

But what Chu Xiao knew was that Lu Yuanming couldn't take it seriously. After all, the other party was forced to marry him, and Lu Yuanming's resistance was so obvious at the beginning.

Besides, Chu Xiao learned about Lu Yuanming's half-life experience and personality from the system.

Since Lu Yuanming led the army at the age of 13, he spent many years fighting in the South and North, spending almost half of his time on the battlefield.

Until that year, when the new dynasty was established, he also became the coveted son-in-law of the whole capital because of his numerous military exploits, family background, and outstanding talents.

But even so, Lu Yuanming had no intention of discussing marriage.

He continued to guard the territory and make contributions, as if "getting a family" that everyone valued very much in ancient times was not a so-called necessary thing for him. He was like a stubborn stone that was incompatible with this era.

So Chu Xiao knew very well that Lu Yuanming would not take this marriage seriously. Since both of them reached an agreement by coincidence, Chu Xiao felt that there was no need to mention it.

At this time, Chu Xiao couldn't help but feel a strange ripple in his heart, but he also knew that Lu Yuanming probably didn't mean that.

When he turned his head back, he saw Lu Yuanming pursing his lips tightly. The expression on his face was the same as usual, but if you looked carefully, you would find that he was actually listening to his voice with some nervousness, and there was an uneasy feeling between his brows. Perceived loneliness.

As usual, he quietly waited for his arrival in the dark.

At this moment, it seemed that he was no longer the young general who had been slaughtered for a long time, but just a kid who wanted candy.

Chu Xiao couldn't help raising the corners of his lips to show a chuckle, and he also jokingly said, "You are so kind to me, so I will follow you wholeheartedly from now on."

It's not that Lu Yuanming didn't hear that short and brisk smile. He knew that the other party was responding to his words. How could this little pervert...

But thinking of all the things before, Lu Yuanming's heart moved inexplicably, as if a love aperture that had never been opened had been opened a little bit.

Before Lu Yuanming could think more, at this moment, Chu Xiao had already put the gold bars back, and then closed the box.

Chu Xiao clapped his hands neatly, and said to Lu Yuanming: "Master Hou, now that I have read the accounts, I found that the Hou's mansion has a lot of money, and it is almost impossible to put it vacant in the warehouse. ?”

When Lu Yuanming heard this, he remembered how Chu Xiao was holding on to the gold bar just now. Lu Yuanming subconsciously thought that the other party wanted to ask for money, but this idea was quickly rejected by Lu Yuanming, and he got in touch with Chu Xiao in the past few days. , the more he understands Chu Xiao, the more surprised he will be.

And at this time, what Chu Xiao said did not mean that kind of contempt.

Lu Yuanming thought for a while and said: "After the establishment of the new dynasty, a lot of Yinshan copper mines were opened in succession. It is a pity that the value of these silver coins has dropped. It is just a waste of time and effort to exchange these silver coins for fields, and it is easy to cause trouble for others. attention."

In fact, most officials or marquises will enclose land crazily after they have money. After all, land is the most stable form of wealth. Every place has a corresponding family name of a wealthy family. Divided.

Lu Yuanming doesn't have any desire to make money, and what's more, the money he has now is enough for three generations.

And he didn't have time to think about it, the most important thing was revenge, so Lu Yuanming couldn't do it in such a high-profile way.

Chu Xiao said with great interest: "Master Hou, I'm not talking about buying land, but I want to use the money to do business, what do you think?"

Doing business?

Lu Yuanming raised his eyebrows in surprise.

It's no wonder that Lu Yuanming was so surprised. You must know that since ancient times, among scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants, businessmen have been inferior.

There are many reasons for this. First of all, business is unstable, and businessmen are also the hardest type of occupation. They need to travel far and wide to transport goods. There are many uncertain factors in the long journey, especially in troubled times. Businessmen are almost fat sheep at the mercy of others, and there are fewer and fewer people engaged in business.Now that the new dynasty has not long been established, the capital is far less prosperous than it was in the old dynasty.

Secondly, commercial countries have always collected a lot of taxes, because the policy has always focused on emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, so most people do business as an expedient measure. After earning a lot of money, they immediately buy and sell rural land and become a tyrant. It's a matter of experience.

But the business Chu Xiao proposes now is obviously not the intention.

Of course, Lu Yuanming is no stranger to business. After all, his second uncle Lu Yan is also a businessman, but Lu Yan's so-called business is to rely on privileges to buy multiple lots or facades in the capital to collect rent. It is also a disguised form of land occupation. Way.

Now that Lu Yuanming has lost his military power and has a title for nothing, he can no longer provide such support for Chu Xiao.

Thinking of this, a trace of depression and irritability flashed across Lu Yuanming's heart.

When Lu Yuanming was thinking about how to explain to Chu Xiao, Chu Xiao said in detail: "Master Hou, I want to run a few businesses. Now we have a location and a presence, and we don't need to pay the rent ourselves, as long as we find the right way , It is a profitable business, as for the specific business, I will make a decision after careful inspection. If the business is good, I can open a few branches in Beijing, and build a Yinzhuang in the future, what do you think?"

This was the first time Lu Yuanming heard Chu Xiao talk about these novel ideas.

It's just that business is not so easy to do. Lu Yuanming wanted to remind Chu Xiao that at his age, he had never been in contact with this kind of thing before, and he would understand when he really took over. There is a science in it.

As for Yinzhuang, it is easy to lose money. After all, the amount of money printed and distributed has always been determined by the state. If the currency is changed, Yinzhuang is the most vulnerable to impact, and it is not opened by a business with enough influence. No one would be willing to deposit silver money in Yinzhuang.

But Lu Yuanming hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say anything.

He could feel that Chu Xiao was very interested in this. This was his idea and his interest, so there was no need for him to interfere.

Besides, so what if you lose money?

Even if you take gold and play with it, even if you play for a lifetime, it will not cost you all.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuanming nodded casually and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as you like it."

Seeing that Lu Yuanming agreed so simply, Chu Xiao stared at Lu Yuanming with clear eyes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth widened a little.

It's a pity that Lu Yuanming couldn't see himself, and it was difficult for him to share his feelings with the other party at the moment, Chu Xiao couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

Suddenly thought of something, Chu Xiao said excitedly, "Master Hou, can I give you a hug, just a moment!"

Want to hug him?Could it be that this little pervert has eaten the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard...

Before Lu Yuanming had time to react, the boy's long arms grabbed his shoulders, and then his whole body was tightly embraced by the boy.

In such darkness, only the boy's warm body is left in his world, and all the senses are frantically pouring in all the information he can perceive. He can even outline in his mind the other person's body close The curves imprinted by the time, and the lingering nose is the cool aroma that he has smelled before.

Lu Yuanming wanted to avoid the other party's breath, but found that it was already everywhere and it was inevitable, so he just turned his head away in the end.

At the same time, his heartbeat had never been so violent, and the tips of his ears were inexplicably hot.
