143. Chapter 143(1/2)

Jinjiang Literature City welcomes you but that's all.

She was not very interested, and she heard Ah Di constantly praise Li Mu in front of her for being so heroic.

My father must have given him the corresponding reward. No matter what it is, he deserves it.

What she cared more about was her father, uncle, cousin, and... the eldest brother of the Lu family, whether these people she was familiar with and concerned about were unscathed during the war, and when would they come back?

She interrupted Gao Huan and asked herself the questions she wanted to know.

"It's almost! I received my uncle's letter from home and knew that I would come here to pick you up..."

He stopped and looked at Xiao Yongjia on the side.

Xiao Yongjia then sat on the side of a few tiles by the window of this water pavilion, with one hand spreading, and admiring the bright red nails he had just dyed this morning, with green fingers, not inferior to a girl.

Princess Qinghe not only has the reputation of being a shrewd woman, but also was often criticized for her extravagant life after marrying Gao Qiao.

In the vague memory of Luoshen's childhood, his mother seemed not like this at first, but later for some reason, she gradually became addicted to it. Clothes and accessories cost tens of thousands of yuan. Shoes alone saved more than a hundred pairs, phoenix heads, clouds, five colors... all kinds of shapes, gorgeous, golden shells stepped on the ground, pearls and jade stepped on the foot, extremely luxurious, many of which were placed there and allowed them to be covered with dust, and they had never been worn.

On weekdays, except for occasionally wearing Taoist clothes, she is always glamorous and even if she is alone, she is no exception.

The same is true at this moment.

The sun shone through the window, reflecting a snake-shaped amber-headed golden hairpin inserted on her black high bun, shining with shiny skin on her face and skin, shining with a pearl-like beauty in the sun.

She seemed to care about the narrative between the two brothers and sisters.

Gao Huan turned to her and said respectfully: "Auntie, my nephew came here to pick up my aunt and sister back home with me."

Xiao Yongjia didn't even raise his eyes: "You just take your sister back. It's fine if I'm going! Come and go, the road is not close, and it's very tiring."

"Aunt! It's really what my uncle ordered in his letter! If the aunt doesn't reply, the uncle must blame his nephew. Moreover, for the previous incident, the uncle's anger towards his nephew has not yet subsided. If he can't take his aunt back this time, he is afraid that his uncle will not like his nephew. Aunt, you should pity your nephew!"

Gao Huan saw that the God of Luo turned his back to Xiao Yongjia, secretly winked at him, and understood it, so he hurriedly went up and begged again.

That's not all, with a thud, I knelt on the ground.

Xiao Yongjia put down his hand that had admired for a while, turned his face, raised the carefully crafted lacquer eyebrows on his side, pursed his elixir lips and smiled.

"Liulang, you know how to coax your aunt. Get up. It's useless to just kneel down and wear two knee holes today. Don't worry, I won't reply, your uncle won't do anything to you."

Although Gao Huan was like being fostered by Gao Qiao, he did not dare to be too flirtatious in front of this eldest princess and aunt who was named a shrewd woman.

Hearing this, he had to get up from the ground and look at Luo Shen with an expression of trying his best to do whatever he can.

"Ah Mom--"

Luo Shen bites his lip.

"You want to go back to see you Aye, and go back with Huan'er. I'll ask someone to pack up your belongings for you."

Xiao Yongjia's expression was unmoved, interrupted his daughter, stood up from the couch, stepped on the gorgeous felt clothes under his feet that almost covered his instep, got off the couch, turned around and headed out.

The delicate golden silk lace embroidered on the sleeves and the hem of the floor skirt shone brightly in the sun with her pace.

Luo Shen looked at her back and was slightly dazed, and couldn't help but remember the scene when his mother came back to take care of her after she got sick several months ago.

According to her secret observation, in those days, her mother seemed to not allow her father to live with her, and her father was forced to sleep in the study every night. The servants in the inner curtain all saw it, but they all pretended to be nothing.

Finally, she finally waited for her mother to come back, and she thought her parents could live together in the same room. Unexpectedly, Ah Ye became like this, and she did not hide the eyes of the servants in the family at all.

Luo Shenqi's mother's ruthlessness and pity for her father's cowardice. Seeing that her mother was unwilling to go home again, although she was disappointed, she was a little hesitant when she remembered the last scene.

If she begs her mother back this time, her parents will still get along like she did last time. In terms of her father's situation, she is a little unbearable.

A Ju interrupted at this time: "The eldest princess, the marriage of the young lady would have been decided long ago if it had not been delayed before. Now the country has settled, and as soon as my husband returns home, the Lu family must have asked to be close to the young lady. After all, it is the marriage of children and is the top priority. When the two families are in contact, the eldest princess still needs to come forward to preside over many etiquettes. It is probably inappropriate for the eldest princess not to reply at this time."

Xiao Yongjia stopped, turned his head, looked at Luo Shen, and said nothing.

When Luo Shen heard Aju talking about his marriage with Lu Jianzhi, he became a little shy again and lowered his head and said nothing. After a while, he heard his mother say, "Forget it, let's go back together."

"If it weren't for my daughter, I wouldn't have gone back to that person!"

After pausing, she said another sentence, her tone with a strong emphasis, and I don’t know who it was specifically said to.

Aju smiled: "Naturally. How can the eldest princess not return when she married her daughter at home?"

She echoed and called someone to pack up the mistress's clothes. The slave immediately became busy.

Luo Shen breathed a sigh of relief, went up to hold Xiao Yongjia's hand, and whispered: "Thank you, my daughter!"

Xiao Yongjia's snow-white finger gently poked Luo Shen's forehead: "You, my mother still remembers that when I first gave birth to you, she was a little bitch. At that time, my mother was still thinking, when will my daughter grow up? When she grows up, she must be the most beautiful girl. Now in the blink of an eye, you are getting older. My mother is old, and you want to make a promise to others..."

She said, feeling a little sad, and stopped.

"My mom is not old at all!"

For some reason, Luo Shen suddenly felt a little sad and grabbed his mother's other hand, which was only covered with jewelry rings.

Xiao Yongjia shook his head and smiled mockingly: "Forget it, let's talk to you about these things. Fortunately, I'm relieved to be the kid of Kanzhi. Let's go." He led his daughter out of the water pavilion.

...

The God of Luo followed Xiao Yongjia, and dozens of maids who returned to the city, sat on a pleasure boat to land on the beach.

Gao Qi, who came to pick up his mistress, prepared a ox cart to return to the city early. There were seven or eight, and each ox cart followed at least four servants, especially at the front, the one that Luo Shen sat with his mother. The body of the cart was made of fragrant wood and the curtains were embroidered with gold and silver threads, which was extraordinary.

Dozens of maids and maids serving Xiao Yongjia were sitting in ox carts, head and tail. Under the protection of the Gao family servants, they walked through the lane outside the city a few days ago, and attracted countless passers-by along the way. A dozen children from the countryside rushed over and laughed and watched, but couldn't follow him.

Gao's family was already famous, not to mention that they made great contributions to the Battle of Xia. The farmers on both sides of the road knew that this was the carriage for the eldest princess who returned to the city and welcomed her husband's return. When the ox cart walked over, they began to talk in a low voice.

"I heard that my husband was afraid of his wife. He was about to be fifty years old, but he had only one daughter under his knees. He still dared not take a concubine..."

"My husband has great kindness in the world. If the Emperor opens his eyes, how could he call him the queen..."

Although the discussion was low, it was still followed by the wind and faintly entered the ears of Luo Shen.

Luo Shen was a little uneasy and quickly looked at her mother beside her. Seeing her eyes closed, her face was expressionless, and her body swayed slightly from side to side with the movement of the ox cart, as if she had been sleeping on the way.

Gao Qi was riding a horse by his side, and heard some, frowned, stopped immediately, and whispered to the servants to go and scold the people in the long tongue.

"Forget it, how many can you block the world's mouth?"

Xiao Yongjia's eyes were still closed, and he suddenly said, his tone was plain.

Gao Qi heard that the mistress spoke like this, so he had to continue moving forward.

A convoy, both speed and speed, finally entered the imperial city and headed towards the Gao family near the Imperial Street.

The neighbors in the city, people on both sides of the city, saw a row of ox carts riding by a noble man, and recognized them from the Gao family, and stopped to look at each other.

Luo Shen had long been used to the luxury of the eldest princess mother. He was sitting in the car, but he didn't think anything was wrong. When he was approaching the Imperial Street, there were more and more pedestrians on both sides of the road. When he saw passers-by staring at the ox cart he and his mother was riding. When he remembered the discussions of the villagers and wives outside the city just now, he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed and sad.

She quietly shrank back and leaned on her back. At this time, she heard a sound of wheels shaking from the opposite side, and then the carriage she was in stopped.

"Why don't you leave?"

Xiao Yongjia opened his eyes and asked.

"Princess, there is also a car coming from the other end, and it is on the road and it cannot be passed." Gao Qi responded outside.

“Which car is from?”

"Princess Yulin."

Princess Yulin's name is Zhu Jiyue. She was born in the Zhu family. She is the close friend of Queen Xu today. She is about the same age as Xiao Yongjia and married the royal family, King Yulin.

King Yulin had a noble status, but he was devoted to practicing Taoism on weekdays and did not care about common things. Zhu Jiyue often went to and from the palace. When talking about relatives, even though he was separated from the sect, the God of Luo wanted to call her a concubine.

Before entering the palace, Luo Shen also met her several times.

Zhu Jiyue's appearance is naturally not as good as Xiao Yongjia, but she has a pair of charming eyes and is also a famous beauty in Jiankang. It is said that she has secretly raised many faces.

When Xiao Yongjia heard this name, his eyes showed disgust and said coldly: "Let her give in!"

A laughter came from the opposite side: "I still think who it is? Such a grandmother was the eldest princess who returned to the city. The eldest princess lived in Bailuzhou for many years and was rarely back to the city, like a rare guest. I heard that Gao Gong would come back soon, and I would be happy to learn that. If I delayed the meeting between the couple because I blocked the way, wouldn't it be a sin?"

A gust of wind blew over, blowing away the two curtains hanging in front. Luo Shen looked out and saw the ox cart where Zhu Jiyue was sitting. The curtains in front were not blocked, and the car was fully visible.

She sat in the car, wearing brocade clothes and silk shoes, covering her face with a Muli inlaid with pearls and jade. After Muli, her long eyebrows and cicadas's hair appeared and appeared faintly, which made people want to have a glimpse of her appearance.

The people passing by the road were all watching, but she seemed to be unconscious. In the laughter of the bell, she kept urging her servants to give her what she had to the road first.

Seeing that the road was open, Gao Qi hurriedly directed the driver to continue moving forward.

The train gradually approached the Gao family's mansion.

Luo Shen looked at his mother quietly.

Her eyes fell on the curtain in front of her that blocked her view, her shoulders were straight, her expressionless, and her face was expressionless. One hand was clenched into a fist, and the thin blue spider-shaped bloodline on the back of her hand was faintly visible under the skin.

Several pointed nails just dyed this morning were deeply embedded in her palm, but she seemed to have never noticed them at all.

"My mother..."

She was a little uneasy, pulled her sleeve and called out softly.

Xiao Yongjia returned to Shen'er, immediately let go of his hand, turned his head, smiled at his daughter, and Bu Yao shook, and shone with bright light: "I'm home, go down."

A few days ago, news came that the rebellion of the King of Linchuan, which lasted for more than half a year, was finally put down. In the last battle, the King of Linchuan was defeated and was forced to retreat to the city. After the city gate was broken, the King of Linchuan ran away on a horse, fell off his horse, and surrounded him, stabbed him to death by scattering swords. The rest of the counterattacks were also killed. The Gan River Basin, which had been turbulent for more than half a year, was finally restored to peace.

People in Jiangnan now know that the situation in Jiangbei is tense, the enemy is strong and we are weak, and war may break out at any time. The idle people sitting in the tea shop in Danyang County City are talking the most about how cruel Jie Hu is. According to people who escaped from the north in the past, red hair and fangs are like evil spirits, and eating human flesh is commonplace. If you talk too much, everyone will be in danger. Children cry at night, and their parents will scare the Hu people. When they mention the Gao family, who is now recruiting troops to prepare for war in Guangling, Jiangbei, everyone praises them. When they mention the Linchuan King who rebelled in chaos, they gritted their teeth. After all, the country's fortune is already difficult. If the rebellion of the Linchuan King is worse than injury, the court will be unable to deal with Jiangbei. If Jie Liao really crosses the river to the south, the common people will still suffer. Therefore, when everyone heard the news, everyone was relieved.

Today, the uncle Xu Situ led his army to Danyang, and Xianggong Gao would also come from Jiankang to personally welcome the soldiers who have been rewarded with meritorious soldiers.
