Sweet Beauty

Ah Shu was stunned for a moment, and didn't rush to answer. She just stared at him with a pair of dark, crystal clear, misty eyes.

With that deep and unwavering gaze, Liu Xiu slowly softened.

For some reason, he found that the forbearance and introvertedness that he was proud of in the past had completely vanished at this moment.

For example, in the death of his brother, he could persuade himself to hide for the time being, but his wife was coveted, but it directly challenged his dignity as a man, which was really hard to swallow.

More importantly, he found that when encountering Ashu, he became more and more sloppy at covering up. When he was out, he kept hiding his thoughts all the time, and when he returned home, he indulged.

This is not a good thing.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiu breathed a little, and with the willpower he had cultivated over the years, his indifferent face gradually eased, and he calmly waited for her explanation.

Ah Shu has been watching his reaction intently, seeing that he has calmed down, then she smiled slightly and said apologetically, "I have already asked Mrs. Zheng and others before, and I have privately paid attention to men who are suitable for age and character, and who are unmarried. , but recently I learned some inside information, which made this matter a little difficult."

She then revealed that Jiang Chengjun was difficult to give birth to.

"Before, it was my fault, because Qiu Ying once said something to Jiang Ji, and saw that my uncle and her sister were not on good terms with her, so he sent someone to investigate on his own initiative, but he didn't want to find out such a secret. I think that if a woman can't bear children, she will always be scolded and ridiculed by her husband's family in the future, and it is inevitable that others will talk about it, so she wants to find a husband's family that will prosper for her and will not lack children and descendants. less."

After all, she poured another cup of warm tea to hang him.

Liu Yu reached out to take it, and there was a moment of relief in his heart. He drank the warm tea and sat on the couch with her in his arms. He frowned and said, "So, it's really tricky. You did a good job."

However, as a vassal, Jiang Yu should not covet the queen even if he has merit and is an old friend!

Since Jiang Chengjun cannot be married off as soon as possible, he can only transfer Jiang Yu to a place far away from the Xin Palace. When Jiang Chengjun gets married, his family will be involved, and then he will be given a more prominent military position and be transferred further away.

Liu Yu asked himself that he had never been a sage with a modest heart, and that Su Ri's gentleness and generosity were mostly forced by the current situation, which was worthy of Jiang Taichang's kindness in the past.

However, when the two of them slept together at night, he still couldn't hold back. After the candle went out, he suddenly took A Shu into his arms and asked vigilantly, "What do you think about Jiang Yu?"

"Jiang Lang?" Ah Shu had already closed her eyes and fell asleep. Hearing the words, she was confused for a while. She suppressed her sleepy sleep and said softly, "Maybe you have some talent. I don't know..."

Liu Yu got a satisfactory answer and did not embarrass her. He just kissed her in the eye, patted her on the back and coaxed, "Don't think about it, just go to sleep."

…

Half a month has passed, and A Dai's body is already in good shape. A Shu takes good care of her every day, and the medicated soup does not fall at all. Finally, she is raised back to the white and chubby girl she used to be.

This child has probably stayed in Ah Shu's house for a long time, and gradually got used to her embrace, and actually regarded her as the closest relative. Mother", it was strange and touching to hear it.

Even the older broken slave, although he was close to her in the past, was always separated by something. Now, because my sister is here, I often come to her house spontaneously.

About young children, as long as they are treated with sincerity, they will always be considerate. However, she is only seventeen now, and she was a little stunned when she heard that a yellow-mouthed child called herself a mother.

I only hope that these two children will not be resentful because of her relationship with the Queen Mother when they grow up in the future.

Xin Palace has returned to peace, but she has not sent Adai back to Feng Yu's house, but continues to stay by her side, because the rumors in the city have not disappeared.

She still doubted Jiang Chengjun in her heart, but Xu Cheng didn't have a letter there yet, so she had to hide it.

When Liu Xiu came back at night, she saw a worried look on her face, and while changing clothes, she casually asked "what happened".

Ah Shu knew that the winter was coming and the spring ploughing was approaching. Many soldiers, soldiers and farmers had to go into the fields when they were busy. Now that they were busy, they didn’t want to disturb him more. There is no serious problem, husband does not have to worry about it."

Liu Xiu didn't say anything, but the original gentle face was displeased for a moment, and then returned to normal, rubbing her hair as if nothing had happened, and said warmly: "The people don't know the inside story, there are random guesses, don't take it to heart."

Seeing that she nodded and there was nothing unusual, he went out of the house to the study with confidence, and dealt with the rest of the official business, without mentioning it again.

Ah Shu looked at him as if she didn't care. Although it was expected, she still felt a little bored in her heart.

…

In the evening, at the invitation of Fan Xiao, Jiang Yu went to the "Chunluofang" in the most prosperous area of ​​the city, drinking and enjoying music and dancing.

After dark, all parts of the city are quiet, but the lively and hustle and bustle here is more than a hundred days. Chunluofang is surrounded by restaurants and prostitutes. The nobles in the city often come here to have fun after sunset, and Chunluofang is the best among them. With its silk and bamboo fairy music and graceful maiko, it is the most popular in the city.

Fan Xiao has been here for nearly two years, and has always had a bohemian temperament.

At this moment, the lights in the square are brilliant, the silk and bamboo are continuous, and all kinds of beautiful girls are coming, shuttling among the guests who are drinking and having fun, causing endless laughter and noise.

The two of them were served by Miki on the left and right, leaning on the couch in their clothes, drinking and singing along with Lego, so happy.

Fan Xiao laughed loudly, raised his glass and said, "Zipei, you have made great contributions in the previous battle, and you have to show your strength. I haven't congratulated myself yet, so I will congratulate you today with this wine!" After that, he drank as much as he could.

When Jiang Yu mentioned this, he was not as happy as expected. After drinking with him, he put down the wine glass and said nothing for a long time.

After the reward banquet that day, Liu Xiu did indeed promote him from an ordinary school captain to the commander of the department, and the commander of the army was in charge of military affairs.

However, the affairs of the county were originally mostly managed by the county governor and the commander, and the handling of important military and political affairs from top to bottom had already formed a self-contained system. Now, he can clearly feel that after returning from the victory, Liu Yu's attitude towards him has suddenly become a lot colder. When discussing things together, although it is normal, after everyone dispersed, it is no longer as it was before. He talks and greets.

This kind of change made him very puzzled. Over time, the doubts could not be answered, and they gradually turned into unresolved dissatisfaction.

A bit of gloom flashed in Jiang Yu's eyes, she waved away Meiji beside her, and asked Fan Xiao, "Ziyu, have you heard the king mention me recently?"

Fan Xiao didn't know what he was thinking, he thought about it for a while, and said, "No. It's just that I vaguely heard that the king once asked about the affairs in Julu County, and it seems that he has plans to transfer you to Julu in the future." He said and smiled. , "In Julu, the officials in the county are about to make a big move, which will surely make you show off your talents."

Jiang Yu hesitated several times, but looked at Fan Xiao with no doubt or dissatisfaction, a bright and upright face, and finally swallowed all the doubts in his heart.

He has been transferred elsewhere, where will it be reused? I'm afraid that when we arrive at Julu, it will be more difficult to leave the country than Xindu.

In the second half of the night, when they were both half-drunk, they left on horseback and went back to the house separately.

On the pitch-black street, except for the sound of hooves, there was silence. Jiang Yu sat up reluctantly, feeling dizzy, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a somewhat familiar figure on the deserted street, bowing at him from a distance.

He took a closer look and saw that it was Lieutenant Guan Han who should have left to return to Zhending!

The matter that Guan Han signaled him to switch to the command of King Zhending before, is still vivid in his mind, and he has encountered it again in a blink of an eye.

Guan Han's gloomy face showed an inexplicable smile, and he gave Jiang Yu a bow: "Jiang Lang is in Xindu recently, so he must be very beautiful."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Yu was deeply offended. He did not believe that Guan Han knew nothing about his embarrassing departure.

"Your remark is really ironic."

Guan Hansensen smiled, shook his head and said, "I don't dare, I just see Mingzhu's secret vote, it's a pity for Jiang Lang."

The cold wind whistled past, Jiang Yu exhaled a long breath, leaving a long mist in the air. He was drunk for most of the time, and said vigilantly: "Why on earth are you pestering me? My Jiang clan has fallen, and I have no power or power. Asking myself is not worth the trouble of King Zhending."

Guan Han pulled the corners of his lips, closed his eyes and said respectfully: "Jiang's family is no longer as prominent as it used to be, but the reputation of the monarch still lives on in the world. Besides—"

He suddenly lowered his voice.

"Jun Ding also knows how the nobles in Chang'an City think of King Xiao. Now he is powerful, and he will end up in the near future, probably no better than the late Da Situ. I really have been instructed by the Queen Mother, and I need to beware of King Xiao at all times, Jun It is an old acquaintance of King Xiao, and he is familiar with Fan Xiao and others.

Jiang Yu was stunned, and the only drink left was awakened. If he is Liu Yu and Fan Xiao, both of them will turn to others. King Zhending and others can take this opportunity to call Liu Yu unpopular and disturb his army.

He was silent for a while, then said solemnly: "Your Majesty has promised to reuse it for me, and to find a reliable family for my sister. Why should I listen to your side of the story? Are you not afraid that I will tell the Majesty about it right away?"

The smile on Guan Han's face became deeper and deeper: "Jun Ding will not be like this. Even if it is said that with King Xiao, whether he believes it or not is the same thing, even if he believes it, at this moment is definitely not the time to oppose Chang'an, and Jun Ding also Guess how King Xiao will deal with the wicked villains who are plotting to alienate him and the emperor."

Jiang Yu was shocked, her hand holding the reins became tighter and tighter, and she was silent for a long time.

Guan Han was right. Even if Liu Yu knew that what he said was true, he would definitely punish him severely to dispel the queen mother's suspicion.

"Today I have said this, when will Jiang Lang figure it out, and he can join my king at any time."

After all, without waiting for Jiang Yu to react, he turned and left.

…

In the twinkling of an eye, it was the twelfth lunar month, and two heavy snowfalls fell in a row. The vast whiteness of the Xindu city covered the sky and the earth. The people all said that this was an auspicious omen, indicating that next year will be a good year.

Because of the cold weather, A Shu has stayed in the house for many days and has not traveled.

The day was warm and snowy, and as soon as Liu Yu left, the servants from outside came to report: "Mrs. Zheng is outside the palace gate and wants to see the queen."

Mrs. Zheng asked for an appointment, and she must have been asked to look for Jiang Chengjun's family.

Ah Shu was in a very happy mood, she got up and groomed herself while ordering someone to lead Mrs. Zheng inside.

Adai followed her, and was brought by the nurse to eat the morning food. At this moment, she was stuck in her arms like a pink and white dumpling, and she refused to leave.

A Shu couldn't, and wanted to be friends with Mrs. Zheng, so in desperation, she went out with A Dai.

In the palace, because there was no one at first, the earth dragon was about to burn, and the chill was not dissipated. Queer hurriedly ordered someone to fetch a charcoal basin and a stove, which made the side of the couch gradually warm up.

Mrs. Zheng was already waiting inside, and when she saw Shu entered, she hurriedly got up from the couch and saluted.

Ashu was already struggling a little because of holding Adai in her arms, so it was inconvenient to help her, so she quickly waved her to get up and said, "Madam came early today, I didn't have time to prepare. If you neglect me, don't take offense."

Mrs. Zheng was also a kind-hearted woman with a benevolent brow and a good intention. After hearing this, she glanced sideways at A Dai, whose eyes were carved with pink and jade, before smiling: "I don't dare. Today, I'm taking the liberty of coming here. It's really what the queen entrusted to me before. , has some eyebrows."

Ah Shu didn't detour, and asked with a straight smile, "But I don't know which family's boss?"

Mrs. Zheng also smiled and said a little apologetically: "It's not someone else, but a cousin in my family. I don't know which woman it is, so I only searched according to the age and appearance that the queen said. The brothers and sons of several county officials have been attracted to each other, but the queen said earlier that if the family needs to be prosperous and not lack of children, those few just don’t match.”

"Only my cousin, whose name is Zheng Ling, was in his twenties this year. He was originally scheduled to have a marriage, but the woman had a bad life and left before she could get married. Later, Jizhou was not very peaceful. My uncle and cousin also died of illness. My cousin was filial and filial, so he postponed the marriage and has not yet married. I know that the queen has a lot of looks, and I dare not say much about others, but this cousin, although he is far behind the king, is also a dignified person and a Confucian student. The character is upright and pure, and I will not teach the queen to be disappointed."

Ashu knew that Mrs. Zheng was similar to her husband Chen Wen, and they were people of good character, so she believed it seven or eight points, and asked, "It seems that it is really good. What about the child in this family?"

Mrs. Zheng quickly explained: "My cousin, his mother went to the Wuzhu Temple for divination a few years ago. The temple Wuzhu said that Zheng Ling's life was bumpy, and he had to be born in the moon of Zhengyang. His mother He decided to make him the son of the youngest son who was born in the first month of the first month of the family. A few days ago, the child's parents died in the war, so he moved to live with Zheng Ling. Have a son."

I see. While sighing about her fortune, Ashu felt very good, and said, "It's very good. However, I only see for others. I still need to ask her to see it in person. I'm sorry that Madam will know Zheng Jun beforehand. Another day, I'll teach him what they want to see each other."

Madam Zheng naturally said goodbye.

The two talked for a while, and Adai became impatient, so she struggled to go down to the ground, led by the nurse to the courtyard to find the slaves.

Mrs. Zheng looked at the little figure who had left the house, and said with a smile: "I heard earlier that the young master has contracted an illness, and it's been a long time since I saw him. Today, he has recovered so well. Sure enough, the rumors outside are not entirely wrong."

No one has been ordered to listen to the rumors outside for the past two days. When Ashu heard the words, she couldn't help thinking of the previous chaos, and subconsciously frowned and asked, "What other rumors are there?"

Mrs. Zheng noticed that her face was unpleasant, she paused for a while, and said, "I didn't inquire too much, but I just heard people mention it in the streets and alleys. Now the queen of the capital and the two little sons have the same fate, and they are born. family."

As soon as these words fell, Ah Shu was stunned.
