The Sweet Little Fulang

While Lu Gu and Shen Yan were cooking, Shen Xuanqing went to Yang's house with Brother Ling in her arms and an umbrella.

I heard from Lu Gu that Yan Shi and Lao Yang have been thinking about him for half a year, they often come to see him, and sometimes help take care of the children, so naturally he has to go and let the old couple know that he is fine and has returned.

As soon as Yan saw him, she burst into tears, and called the second boy with tears, even Lao Yang's eyes were wet, but at least a big stone fell from her heart.

It was raining heavily, so he still called Yan Shi and Lao Yangtou to have dinner, and also called Yang Xian and the others in the tavern along the way.

Few people came to eat in the rain, only a few customers who came out before the rain, Yang Xian asked the waiter to watch the restaurant, and everyone went to Pearl Alley.

On the Gu family's side, because Shen Yan was not yet married, they were not considered serious relatives. Seeing that the rain was getting heavier, they didn't go over and shout. They also took good care of Lu Gu and Shen Yan. It's okay, it doesn't matter.

He hadn't been back for half a year, the food at home was different from outside, he couldn't help but eat a bit in a hurry, everyone at the table gave way to him, and they were serving vegetables and rice, so he ate his fill first, and suffered outside.

After eating and drinking, Yan asked him why he didn't send a message to his family after not coming back for so long.

As soon as these words came out, Lu Gu also looked at Shen Xuanqing.

Shen Xuanqing took a sip of tea, and Yin Nier was also on the table. She was older than Brother Ling and his younger brother, and could understand what the adults were saying. He looked at the children with hesitation.

It was about Shen Xuanqing, Lu Gu didn't want to miss it, so he looked at Shen Yan.

Shen Yan understood his eyes, so she got up and took the three children to play in her room. As for what happened outside, she just asked her later.

After they entered the room, Shen Xuanqing sighed softly and said: "At that time, I was halfway to Tianying Ridge. I never thought that I would encounter two teams of horses, one of which was chasing and killing the other. , that group of masked men in black will kill and silence them."

"There are many complicated things in the court, and I don't know much about them. You should also avoid it and keep quiet. Now that the matter is resolved, it is peaceful, but in case there are other things, you must keep your mouth shut."

Seeing that everyone at the table nodded and held their breath, he continued: "When we were running for our lives in the mountains, there were only me, Biaozi, and the third brother Qiu Daqiu. For Cui Rongwei, it is Mr. Cui from the capital."

"I didn't know him at first, I only heard the name, but Boss Qiu often walks outside, he knows a lot, the man and the two guards under him were injured, and they were hiding in the mountains. Those masked people were Kill a few of them along the way."

"Master Cui had reinforcements, and later we ran for our lives together. The capital didn't dare to go back for a while, so we went to hide in Yuncheng to the north. The horse team vehicles had signs, and those brothers had wooden symbols on them. The men in black checked them out." If I can find us, I dare not write a letter, for fear of leaking the traces, and you will suffer accordingly."

"Fortunately, there is Master Cui. He couldn't bear us to suffer unreasonable disasters, so he used some means to trap people in the dark, and didn't let them free their hands to investigate us little people."

"I don't know much about the affairs in the court. At that time, I was caught in disputes, and I didn't dare to act rashly. Ten days ago, Master Cui said that the matter was completely resolved, and even he didn't need to hide, so we rushed back from Yuncheng. Yesterday I rested in Shichuan Town at night, and I rode back early this morning, and it is raining today, so Biaozi and the others must have rested in Yuqingfu City."

He finished talking for half a year in a few simple words.

She was chasing and running for her life, Yan Shi was taken aback when she heard this, she is an old woman in the country, how could she have imagined such a thing.

Shen Xuanqing said it lightly, without mentioning the danger of escaping at all, but everyone present knew that it must not be easy to escape.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back." Yan muttered, and couldn't help but chant Amitabha again.

They chatted homely for a while, the rain had subsided, and seeing that it was getting late, the Yang family went back first, so that he could have a good rest at night.

Shen Xuanqing originally wanted to rush back to his hometown overnight so that Wei Lanxiang would know that he was back, but the rain never stopped, the road was too wet and muddy, and he couldn't see clearly at night, so he had to give up and see how it would be tomorrow morning.

Shen Yan didn't hear what he said in the room, so she couldn't hold back her curiosity, and when he and Lu Gu closed the courtyard door and came in, she asked him again.

Shen Xuanqing repeated what she said before, and asked her how her marriage was going. After chatting for a while, the water in the clay pot was boiled, and several people scooped up water to wash their hands. Soak in water to relieve fatigue.

Lu Gu first made the bed to put Brother Ling to sleep, he was very happy, with a constant smile on his face.

It was dark outside, and the lights were turned on in the room. Shen Xuanqing sat at the table soaking his feet, and the boy ran in to rub his legs.

After not seeing him for half a year, the dog whined and barked, and he reached out to rub the dog's head.

Lu Gu covered Brother Ling with a quilt, got out of bed and found Shen Xuanqing's clothes from the box, and said, "You changed your clothes tonight, and I'll see my mother wearing this when I go back tomorrow."

"Okay." Shen Xuanqing agreed, and because the child was asleep, he looked at Lu Gu and said in a low voice, "I lost weight."

Lu Gu paused, his eyes were a little watery, but he held back, and said with a smile: "I haven't lost a few taels, and the family has a lot of meat, just make up for it."

"Well, make up for it. If you want to eat, I'll buy it tomorrow." Shen Xuanqing bent her starry eyes.

Lu Gu handed over the foot wipe and said, "What to buy? The sheep at home can be killed. When the eldest brother returned today, he said that he would bring them over tomorrow. Just in time, you are back. Let's eat stewed lamb."

"Okay, let's eat stewed mutton." Shen Xuanqing naturally did what he said.

Lu Gu actually had a lot to ask, but just now at the dinner table, what should be said has already been said, but there is nowhere to ask about those days when he was fleeing for his life, so he asked: "Did you buy that horse?"

Speaking of this, Shen Xuanqing laughed all of a sudden, and said: "Yes, I bought it, and it will be our family's horse in the future. According to what you said, it is a docile horse. After a while, I will get acquainted with it. You ride a horse, and then you sit on it with your child in your arms, and I can lead the horse and go out for a stroll."

He wiped his feet clean, put on his shoes and took the tub to the door to pour water.

Lu Gu spread out the quilts for the two, thinking that luckily they had been dried a few days ago, even Luo Biao's bedding rolls were dried, and the other party came back tomorrow, covered with comfort.

When Shen Xuanqing took off his clothes, he waited beside him so that he could put them together in the laundry tub outside.

Afraid that there were things in the clothes and they would accidentally get soaked in water, he touched them and asked, "Is all the money hidden in the cloth pockets close to the body?"

The clothes belonged to Shen Xuanqing himself, and there were a few inner pockets that Lu Gu sewed for him inside. He sat by the bed and took off his shoes, and said, "Yes, there are more than ten taels of silver left, which are separated, and you can take them all out." Take it out."

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered that there was something else in his clothes, and before he could say it, he saw that jade pendant was pulled out.

Lu Gu had never seen the jade pendant in his hand before, and after a little identification under the lamp, it was a dragon pattern jade pendant.

He asked suspiciously, "Did you buy this?"

Shen Xuanqing took the jade pendant in his hand, thought for a while and lowered her voice to tell the truth, with such a jade pendant, she couldn't hide it.

"This jade pendant was given to me by Master Cui. He originally wanted to leave me to work under him, and he promised to hang my name in the Black Armored Army of the Imperial City, but I declined politely. Our place is far away from the capital. There are old and young at home, and he really couldn’t go, so he gave me this.”

Even Lu Gu has heard of the Black Armored Army in the Imperial City. They are people close to the emperor. Those who can become the Black Armored Army are either those high-ranking officials in the capital, or those who are really capable. They also said that this jade pendant belongs to the palace. He couldn't help but look a few more times.

For him, the Imperial Palace in the capital city was even more out of reach than Yuqing Mansion City, and he didn't even dare to think about it.

Seeing Lu Gu looking at the jade pendant, Shen Xuanqing handed it over again and said: "Master Cui said that it was something from the palace that the emperor rewarded him. If something happens in the future, Lu Yuan will not be able to reach the capital, so take it to Yuqingfu City to find a mansion." Ya can."

The lamps and candles glowed, this jade pendant was indeed different from the rough jade pendants Lu Gu had seen, warm and delicate, he was not an expert, so he could only feel the difference.

After listening, he was not fooled by Shen Xuanqing, raised his eyes and asked, "Why did Master Cui send you this?"

If Shen Xuanqing was able to survive and the people who chased him did not find Jixing Town, it was all thanks to Master Cui, if they didn't thank him, it would be considered rude, but Shen Xuanqing won the jade pendant if he didn't work under his hands, why? I can't figure it out.

Shen Xuanqing sighed softly, then smiled and said: "I didn't want to tell you these dirty things, why are you so smart today?"

The long-lost compliment made Lu Gu's brows twitch instantly, and he couldn't hold back his smile at all.

"Because I saved Lord Cui's life when I was running for my life in the mountains. Lord Cui is the emperor's confidant. This jade pendant is his thanks. Later in Yuncheng, I heard that those people might be able to find us here. I thought With you in the family, if you are attacked by villains, how can you hold back, and work with Master Cui's subordinates, the disputes in the court are really different, they were intensively arranged for half a year, and they were completely resolved half a month ago."

The smile on Lu Gu's face gradually disappeared, and he frowned, and asked: "Then the injury on your face was caused by going to work?"

Shen Xuanqing touched his face. It was left behind by the group of people who ambushed half a month ago. He used to cover with bows and arrows at the rear, but in the end, even he went up and was inevitably injured. Fortunately, there were so many of them at that time. It's just a minor injury.

"Is it on me too?" Seeing that he didn't speak, Lu Gu asked again.

"Small injury, it's almost healed." Shen Xuanqing smiled, he didn't intend to worry Lu Gu, so he untied his inner garment and turned his back.

There are several healed wounds on the back, just like the face, there are still shallow marks.

The injury was not serious, so Lu Gu was relieved.

"Don't tell your family about this, it's fine if you know it. When I go back tomorrow, I will only tell my mother about that." Shen Xuanqing took off her underwear, and the clothes inside were also dirty.

When he was changing the clothes inside, Lu Gu turned his back and said, "Well, I see, if it doesn't rain tomorrow, let's go home and boil some water at home, and you can wash it too."

"Okay." Shen Xuanqing quickly changed into clean underwear.

After the two lay down, Lu Gu was still sleeping inside, the candles were blown out, his eyes went dark, and soon, he was hugged by Shen Xuanqing who turned over.

After six months of worrying about it, he was finally able to put his heart firmly in his stomach at this moment.

Shen Xuanqing hadn't heard from him for half a year, and many people didn't say anything, but thought in his heart that Shen Xuanqing was in danger, but he never believed it. He waited with this thought and finally came back.
