MTL - Love Like the Galaxy-Chapter 176
In one sentence, the baby was almost praised as a fairy child who was reincarnated into the world. The young merchant who was sitting beside the couch couldn't listen anymore. He tried to slip away several times and was dragged back by He Zhaojun - I really don't understand where the mother who had just given birth got so much energy.
Having heard enough of the baby son's hymn, He Zhaojun kindly invited these female relatives to the front hall for dinner, leaving the young merchant alone to speak.
"My meerkat is well, look at this nose and eyes..." He Zhaojun screened Fu's mother and maid back, and fiddled with the swaddling clothes beside the pillow. .
Shao Shang was not as good as she wanted, with a look of indifference: "It's okay, it's not as fair as my eldest brother's nephew, it's not as strong as my elder sister's family, it's not as good as …”
"What nonsense are you talking about! It's only been born for a day, and there are only a few taels of flesh. How white and strong!"
Shaoshang taunted: "You know it's only a day since you were born, and listening to their praise just now, I thought that the meerkat would be proficient in all the weapons of the eighteenth class tomorrow and will be on the scriptures platform the day after tomorrow. Take the lead!"
He Zhaojun embarrassed: "Can't you make me happy?"
Speaking of this, Shaoshang Wuming became angry: "How did I tell you when Shiliting parted, treat Ah Yao better, don't bully him, he is an honest man, even if he suffers a loss, he will not shout Come out! You told me to coax you, why don't you coax Ayao! I humiliated him in front of so many people yesterday!"
"No, no!" He Zhaojun became anxious, "I listened to you, and I have been very considerate of Ayao all these years. I forgot to eat, and I didn’t forget to deliver meals to Ayao, who was busy outside! Ayao understood my intentions and cared about me everywhere, we have always been very good!”
"Then what happened to you yesterday!"
"It's not because of you! Since you wrote last month that you are coming, Ayao has been eagerly preparing your residence, collecting gifts for you, and specially invited from the county seat The famous cook... I see how busy he is, and I get angry!" He Zhaojun was full of resentment, "If you don't come, there will be no such thing!"
Shao Shang was so angry that he fell to his back: "Oh, you think I'm in the way now! Why don't you think I'm in the way when I tell you about the direction of the court over the years? My brother got into trouble in my hometown, and the government wanted to deal with him. When I interceded with him in front of Your Majesty, why didn't you dislike me! Now that I've been a guest at your house for a few days, you dislike me—you are the one in the letter Strongly saying that your husband and wife are so close and there is no more rift, I dare to come!"
He Zhaojun said ashamedly: "I am very grateful to you for taking care of you for so many years. It's just that I just heard that you are coming, and I have no idea..."
Shao Shang gave her an angry look: "Ayao and I have only been in love for a few months. You husband and wife have shared weal and woe for many years. How can you be so unconfident!"
"Isn't it because I haven't been able to give birth to A Yao." He Zhaojun's voice became lighter.
Shao Shang hummed: "Oh, now that you are a man in one fell swoop, you can be considered confident."
He Zhaojun muttered: "I just gave birth, don't be old to me."
He turned her head in a less business-like manner, and after a while, she turned around and said with a serious face: "There is no one else today, let me ask you a question, do you really still care about me? You are straightforward and pungent. Temperament, don't play that kind of hypocrisy, and don't worry that I won't help you in the future, I just want you to tell the truth!"
He Zhaojun said quietly: "Actually, I thought about it a few years ago. At first, I thought you helped us because I still had affection for Ayao. The second year I came here, when I sacrificed to my father and brother , I suddenly remembered my second brother."
There was a smile on her face, "Actually, you are very similar to my second brother-the second brother has a good brother who has been acquainted since childhood. The stepmother and younger siblings are bullying. The second brother is just like you, and I am worried that he will be wronged. From helping to choose the bride's family, to the expatriate official rank, the second brother is helping to fuel the flames. I think, you treat Ayao too. so…"
"It's good for you to know!" Shaoshang said with a heavy voice, "By the way, the person you are talking about is Zhu Kun, the eldest son of the Marquis of Xun, who is now serving as a side general under General Wu's account. ?"
He Zhaojun nodded.
Shao Shang sighed: "Your second brother didn't treat him in vain! General Zhu has been guarding outside all the year round, but he always remembers your family. He is worried that your younger brother will not have elders in his hometown to teach him, and he will be in the future. I got into trouble. So I asked in every possible way, and moved the great Confucian Han in your hometown to bring your younger brother into the family and strictly control it—and I was relieved, and I don’t need to beg for mercy in the future.”
He Zhaojun whispered: "Well, the Zhu family brother is the most kind."
Shao Shang carefully gathered his swaddled clothes and said softly, "Don't think about it any more, your husband and wife have worked hard, and it will be better in the future."
He Zhaojun raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I won't think about it anymore, but I'm afraid others will think about it, what do you think?"
Shao Shang looked away and smiled standardly: "The concubine doesn't know what An Chengjun means at all." - Usually, when she starts hanging her book bag, it often means that the other party is right.
He came out from He Zhaojun in a happy mood. Shaoshang plans to make persistent efforts to persuade Lou Yao to put his official business aside for now. A multiplier effect.
Who knew that when I walked to the door of the study, I found that the person who was prone to 'random' was sitting behind the plan, with his arms on a map drawn on silk, standing aside The county magistrate Louyao looks like a serving book boy.
"...This is more than 80 miles away, are there only two castles." Huo Budo looked at the map carefully.
Lou Yao said: "Exactly. According to what my brother said, a house of this size is necessary to accommodate those murderers. Yao County is adjacent to Xuzhou, and there is only a valley between the two places..."
Huo Budo nodded, then pointed to a place on the map and said, "This is that valley? Your map is wrong." He opened his palm and measured it with his tiger's mouth.
Lou Yao's face turned red: "I have surveyed the surrounding area of the county, where can I farm, where can I get water, but this valley is near Xuzhou, I think since it can't be reclaimed there, I just put it first. Let it go, wait for later..."
"There are four most important things in a map, mountains, water, valleys, and scales, so that you can advance, attack, retreat and defend. The rest may wish to check slowly. Yao County has a flat terrain. Once there is chaos, how will you guard it? Famine will not kill you for a while, but a civil uprising or rebellion will immediately take the heads of your whole family.”
Lou Yao was admonished with sincerity and fear: "Thank you brother for your advice, I understand."
- Shaoshang shook his head as he listened to it outside the door, there was a subtle feeling of 'the idiot's little brother was cleaned up by the big guy next door who was caught out'.
Huo Budo put down the map, leaned on the armrest and sat slightly sideways: "I see the situation of the Luo clan being slaughtered, although the number of the Gongsun clan's remnants is not large, but they come and go like the wind. Traces, it can be seen that they did not travel long distances, but had a stronghold nearby. Don’t be confused, this kind of thing happened around the place under your jurisdiction, it is not a trivial matter.”
When Shaoshang heard this, he stepped forward: "Since there is no trace for a while, why don't you think about why they are here?"
Huo Budo saw her, smiled slightly, turned to Lou Yao and said, "The study is heavy, you didn't let people strictly guard it? Casually, no one can report it. Come in?"
Lou Yao was speechless, and Shaoshang said loudly, "I've also been in your study!"
Huo Busu didn't lift his eyelids: "You can go in because I ordered the guards; could it be that Ayao also instructed the servants outside, who can be put in?"
"No, never..." Lou Yao, of course, did not instruct him. The attendants outside saw that Shaoshang was a distinguished guest from yesterday, so they let them in easily.
Shao Shang almost gasped out of gallstones: "I know you have to admonish Ayao for being careless and not careful, but your study is much more important than that of an ordinary county magistrate, isn't it just follow me? Check it out!"
"You are my wife, and you can naturally know about my affairs. Dare to ask Mrs. Cheng, who are you from the magistrate of Lou?" Huo Budo's face was indifferent.
Stop doing business.
Seeing the stagnant atmosphere, Lou Yao said timidly: "...Why don't we talk about the intentions of Gongsun's remnants?"
Huo Budo glanced at him, and said lightly, "Just listen to the magistrate of Lou, please teach the little lady what you think."
The sullen anger that Shao Shang had just exhaled almost swelled up again, she forced herself to endure: "There are only two things Gongsun's remaining sins want to do, one is to restore the country, and the other is to take revenge. Country, isn't Shi Xin of Shu Jun just rebelled, they should go there to help; if it's for revenge..." She looked at Huo Budo, and Huo Budo gave her a faint look.
Shao Shang immediately said: "Then they shouldn't be looking for Master Huo, the general who attacked Shu last year was someone else, Master Huo just took a sideways path... Then why did they appear here? ? There must be a reason."
Lou Yao was very enthusiastic: "Young businessman, what you said really makes sense!"
Huo Budo shut up—this is what he hates about Lou Yao, whenever he wants to admire a girl's intelligence, Lou Yao will always applaud faster and more enthusiastically than him, and put others around him The lining is insincere.
"Then... what's the reason?" Lou Yao wondered.
Shao Shang looked at Huo Budo, Huo Budo's handsome long eyes flickered slightly, and she didn't say anything, she immediately stopped asking.
Turning around, but still no result, Huo Cheng and the two left the study and walked back to the courtyard of the guest room in silence.
Walking in the open backyard and forest, Huo Budo suddenly chuckled: "You didn't tell Lou Yao that I killed Gongsun Xian."
Shao Shang said: "How can you say such a thing! It's a crime to deceive the king. Although Ayao is reliable, it's always good that one less person knows."
"Yes, it's always good for one less person to know." Huo Budo smiled.
Huo Budoubt said: "You have already thought about it. What did you want to ask me just now, go ahead and ask."
Shao Shang stopped and stared attentively: "You should have started from Yanzhou and went to a place in Qingji, secluded and Xuzhou to quell the rebellion, why are you in Yuzhou?" Even if he paid attention to Luo Jitong's movements, It should also be sent to follow the alert instead of appearing in person. You must know that Huo Budo is in a state of official business at this time.
Huo Budoubt said: "I thought you didn't plan to ask... You guessed right, I didn't enter Yuzhou for you at first, but planned to enter Xuzhou from the east side of Yuzhou to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ."
Shao Shang was stunned for a moment: "Isn't His Highness the Prince sitting in the Yanzhou camp?"
Huo Budoubt said: "Xuzhou has been pacified, and General Wu divided his troops into two groups and went to Qingzhou and Youzhou. His Royal Highness heard that almost all the dozens of wealthy families in western Xuzhou were involved, and his heart was It's hard to settle, and I plan to go and see for myself whether there is something wrong with the implementation of the Tiantian Order."
Shao Shang was shocked: "Could it be that the remnants of the Gongsun clan are going for the prince?!"
Huo Budo frowned slightly: "His Royal Highness is not alone, there are tens of thousands of troops around him. Not to mention dozens of dead soldiers, even if you recruit all the strong men in the neighboring counties, you may not be able to. What about them?"
Shao Shang stared at him hesitantly: "Then what are you worried about?"
Huo Buxuan frowned: "Do I look worried?"
"Your brows are so tight, I'm stealing people, you just look like this!"
Huo Budo sneered: "Don't talk nonsense!" Thinking about it, it was funny again, and Qu finger tapped the girl's forehead.
Shao Shang groaned and covered his forehead: "Tell me, what are you worried about?"
Huo Budo pondered and paced: "His Royal Highness is talented in martial arts, but his temperament is a little impatient. If there is an injustice, His Majesty will order the lower officials to investigate and deal with it, and the Prince will roll up Sleeves, go into battle in person, and then overturn others first."
He was brought to the emperor's side when he was less than ten years old and lived in the deep palace for a long time. Impossible to see. Not to mention princes and important officials, even if the emperor's thoughts are basically the same.
"Before I tried to persuade the prince not to leave the Yanzhou camp, His Highness refused no matter what, saying that he wanted to see the situation on the ground with his own eyes. Then he will know his identity." Huo Budo stopped, "I heard this, and I knew that His Highness would not stay under the **** of the heavy army all the time."
Shao Shang is speechless: "His Royal Highness is also true, why bother!" - all the trouble!
Huo Budou smiled wryly: "His Royal Highness is careful to observe the people, and it is not a bad thing. I asked the houses around Louyao just now, and he said that this place is not rich, and the counties combined, there are only two houses. The fort becomes a climate.”
Shao Shang said: "Then let's check them!"
Huo Budo shook his head: "How to check, go to the door and say 'We suspect that you are colluding with the traitor Gongsun, so we want to search your house'? If there are private soldiers, why would the prefects of many prefectures and counties be afraid of the local nobles? We did a thorough investigation for no reason. If there are doubts, it’s okay, but if they are innocent. It has provoked people’s uprising, and I haven’t seen the Gongsun clan yet. The shadow of the remnant, let's make a fuss first? Forget it, don't start the grass and startle the snake."
…
For the next three or four days, Lou Yao was still his county magistrate and his new father. The terrain of the two castles.
Shao Shang wanted to bring his brother, but Cheng Shaogong felt that he had been through a lot of vicissitudes in the previous month, and now he refused to go out, hiding in the house every day to eat, drink and maintain, and have a good time How beautiful is it to throw hexagrams and money to draw prophecies.
Who knew that Lou Zhang caught a glimpse of him, and said sharply: "Master Cheng, stay!"
Cheng Shaogong had no choice but to look back, cupped her hands and smiled: "I have seen Mrs. Lou."
"Young Master Cheng came just in time." Lou Zhang said coldly, "My cousin rescued a ranger who fell off a cliff a few days ago, and he is still in a coma. The doctor's doctor came along, why don't I invite him to come and have a look, it's better than pouring decoction and medicine for that person every day like water in my family."
Cheng Shaogong stayed for a while: "I have won awards, but that doctor is good at treating internal diseases, and this fall is a trauma..."
Lou Zhang said impatiently, "He can even heal women in childbirth, let's see what happened to the fall!"
Cheng Shaogong deeply felt that it was a big mistake that he did not make a divination before going out today, and was thinking about whether to convince the lady of the house to stop making trouble, or to accept his fate and find the healer to be a dead horse and a living horse medical.
At this moment, a servant came out of the opposite house with a tray. When the door was wide open, he happened to catch a glimpse of the profile of the man lying on the couch, although it was bluish red and swollen , with many traces of sailing, but he still recognized it—
Hey, isn't this the step brother of his sister's ex-fiancé's father?
Mrs. Xiao also gave him the idea of making him a fist master for two younger brothers!
Why is he here!
