Chapter 1042 Unexpected joy
,,,,,,,,,,,,
After handling the court affairs for a day, at dusk, Liu Jing returned to his mansion, and the carriage slowly walked on the street. Liu Jing silently watched the people coming and going on, experiencing the prosperity of Chang'an City in detail, and enjoying this rare moment of leisure.
At this time, the carriage passed by a temple. Liu Jing saw several old locust trees in front of the temple from afar. He felt something in his heart, thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Go to the ancient locust house!"
The carriage turned around and drove towards the Guhuai Mansion. Soon, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the Guhuai Mansion. During Liu Jing's eastern expedition to Jianye, an unfortunate incident also occurred in the Qiao Mansion. Qiao Xuan unfortunately got sick while traveling to Jingnan and died on the way back to Chang'an. He was buried on the spot in Nanjun.
This news made Xiao Qiao very sad. Liu Jing did not dare to tell Da Qiao, who was far away in Bashu. After Liu Jing returned from Jiangdong, he had never been to the ancient locust tree so far, so it was meaningless for him to come here. Qiao Xuan passed away, and Da Qiao was far away in Chengdu. The ancient locust house was an empty house.
But Liu Jing suddenly missed Da Qiao who was far away in Bashu, and then he wanted to come to Guhuai Mansion to take a look, see the courtyard where Da Qiao lived and the room where she was left with her fragrance.
"Wait here!"
Liu Jing ordered the guards and walked into the mansion alone. Two old people guarding the mansion stood respectfully and walked into the back house. Liu Jing slowly walked into the west courtyard, which was where Da Qiao used to live.
As soon as she walked to the gate of the yard, a little maid in a red dress was coming hurriedly. She didn't see Liu Jing and crashed into his arms. Liu Jing held her and smiled, "If you don't look like this, you will hit a big tree next time!"
The little maid saw the person in front of her, so scared that she screamed, turned around and ran away. Liu Jing couldn't help but be stunned. The maid looked so familiar. At this moment, a gentle voice came from not far away, "What happened so panicked?"
Liu Jing was stunned for a moment, this voice... Why was she here? Why was she back? It was clearly Da Qiao's voice. He suddenly stepped forward to the inner hall, his heart pounding, and stepped into the threshold of the inner hall. Liu Jing saw the woman who made him dream about. Da Qiao appeared in front of him in a white plain skirt.
"General!" Da Qiao also shouted in a low voice, and the fan in his hand fell to the ground.
The two of them looked at each other, and no one said anything. Tears surged out from Da Qiao's beautiful eyes. He took two steps and threw himself into his arms. Liu Jing hugged her slender shoulders tightly, as if he was still dreaming.
Liu Jing lowered his head and stared at her face. She was more beautiful than before, but she was still so pretty. Her snow-white skin was as smooth as beautiful jade, and her eyes were like stars, with a glimmer of joy. Liu Jing finally realized that this was not a dream, and she appeared in front of him.
Huanxi exploded in his heart. Liu Jing kissed her red lips desperately. The little maid quietly came over to pick up the lost handkerchief, but saw the mistress holding the neck of Han Wang with her arms tightly. The two hugged each other affectionately, which scared her heart almost jumped out, her face flushed, and she turned around and ran away.
Da Qiao had forgotten everything and was completely immersed in the joy of reunion with her lover. After a long time, she lowered her head, avoided Liu Jinglang's kiss, and panted: "You hug her tightly, and you will press the child!"
Only then did Liu Jing notice her obviously bulging belly, and she felt happy and apologized in her heart. Da Qiao took Liu Jing's hand and walked quickly to the inner hall. When she walked to the living room, she smiled and said, "Sit down, I'll pour you tea, I'll try the osmanthus fragrant tea I just fried."
Liu Jing took her hand, pulled her into his arms, hugged her and refused to let her leave. Da Qiao understood his thoughts and smiled helplessly, "I will be seen like this. I will explain it to you later, okay?"
Her soft voice made Liu Jing unable to refuse, so he had to let her go. Da Qiao kissed him on the face and left quickly. Liu Jing stood up and walked slowly to the window. Looking at the brightly blooming Wan Gui outside the window, bursts of fragrance came to his face, but his heart was in chaos. He couldn't understand how much doubt he was. Da Qiao had clearly gone to Bashu, and when would he come back? Could it be because her father passed away?
But... Qiao Xuan has passed away for a month, and Liu Jingsi is puzzled. At this time, he suddenly found someone shaking on the wall opposite. After closer inspection, it turned out to be a female guard, which made Liu Jing realize something.
"Did you think of it?" Da Qiao's gentle voice came from behind.
Liu Jing turned around and saw Da Qiao appearing behind him with a pot of tea. His eyes were as clear as water, and he seemed calm and quiet. Liu Jing sat down and Da Qiao poured him a cup of tea, which was steaming hot and exuding the fragrance of osmanthus. She pursed her lips and smiled: "This is the late osmanthus picked at noon today. Fry it with Mengding tea from Bashu and Jing water. It has a refreshing and light fragrance. Try it."
Liu Jing picked up the tea and sucked it carefully, suddenly stopped, and asked, "Is she bringing you back?"
"Don't say 'she', my elder sister went to Chengdu to pick me up."
"Go in person?" Liu Jing was stunned.
Da Qiao nodded, and tears couldn't help but burst out, "She is the kindest and most tolerant woman I have ever seen. When she appeared in Chengdu, I was stunned. I thought she was here to punish me, but she was not angry at all. She treated me like a sister, but took all the responsibility on her. She blamed herself and said that she had left me alone in Chengdu and took me back."
Liu Jing's heart was even more confused. All this was incredible. They had already reconciled, but he didn't know anything. Liu Jing suddenly remembered that when Sun Shangxiang was in Jiangdong, he wanted to say something but stopped. Did he just want to tell him about this?
Liu Jing wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with a smile: "I found that you like to cry too. I've already cried when I see me today."
"Actually, I don't like to cry, but a lot of things have happened recently. When my father passed away and I miss you again, I become sentimental."
Da Qiao Qiang smiled and said, "Her tolerance makes me ashamed. If I hadn't had your child in my stomach, I wouldn't have seen you again."
"So you have been hiding from me for the past month, and they have also hiding it from me, just treat me as a fool." Liu Jing was really dissatisfied and said angrily.
"Don't be angry, don't blame them. This is what I mean. I told them not to tell you, General, this is not a glorious thing. We all have difficulties, so don't worry about it."
In fact, Liu Jing also knew in his heart that Tao Zhan had to take into account his reputation and had to bear all kinds of pressure. She concealed the truth about Da Qiao's return to Chang'an from herself. On the one hand, she had to take care of Da Qiao, and on the other hand, she was afraid that she would do something randomly and accidentally spread the news, which would affect her reputation.
Thinking of this, Liu Jing felt an indescribable helplessness in his heart, and he pondered for a while and said, "You should go to the Han Palace! Don't live here again."
"Let me talk about this! Let me think about it again, but it's almost dark now, and the general should go back. Don't worry about me. I'm very safe with female guards here."
Liu Jing nodded. His wife was right. This matter could not be delayed. At this time, Liu Jing was very grateful to his wife. Fortunately, he had a rational and wise wife who twice saved his mistakes in women and preserved his reputation.
