Harue Kagetsu

Luoshen slept too late last night. At first, he was worried and worried for most of the night. In the second half of the night, he finally got rid of his worries. He was very tired. As soon as he closed his eyes, he fell into a deep sleep, and the sleep was sweet and sweet. Afterwards, in a hazy haze, he seemed to have had a dream, dreaming that there was a large stove next to him. The big stove surrounded her, and it was warm.

Her physique is cold, and in the winter, there is such a stove to keep her warm. It's really a very comfortable thing. It's warm, warm, and later, it even seems to be hot and sweating.

When she woke up from a full sleep, she was still a little confused, rubbing her eyes, suddenly remembering that Li Mu was also sleeping in her bed last night, she hurriedly opened her eyes and turned her face to find that he was gone.

She sat up, opened the curtain, got out of her head and looked around.

The house was empty, and no one else was seen, but the sky was bright outside the window, and it was getting late.

She called out.

Aju entered in response, and got up with a maid to serve her.

Luoshen bowed his head and saw that the front of his middle coat was sleeping a little loose, and there was also a layer of sweat on his body, especially on his chest and back.

The feeling of hot sweat in the dream turned out to be real. It's just that by this time, the sweat is getting cold, and the underwear is sticking to the body, and people feel a little uncomfortable.

Aju wiped her sweat and put on clean underwear.

Luoshen wanted to ask Li Mu where he was going in the morning, but he was too embarrassed to speak to Aju.

While helping her get dressed, Aju said, "Xianggong came early in the morning, and Li Langjun is with Xianggong right now."

Luo Shen was overjoyed, got out of bed in a hurry, washed his hair and dressed in a hurry, took a few bites, and rushed to the front hall. When he got there, he saw that his father was here, and Li Mu was with him. The man was talking, and when he heard the sound of her footsteps, he stopped and turned his face in unison.

Luoshen lifted her skirt and stepped over the threshold, walked briskly to her father's side, greeted him, and then sat beside him.

"Aye, why are you here so early in the morning?"

Gao Qiao looked at her eyes with a smile, like a fresh daughter with a dewy lotus in the morning. The eyes in her eyes were unstoppable love. He smiled and said, "Aye thought that you all went back to the city yesterday, but he didn't want to return a single one, so he came over to take a look this morning as there was nothing to do."

He glanced at Li Mu.

"When your mother comes out, you can all go back to the house today."

Luo Shenzhi knew that his father should have known that his mother had agreed to Li Mu to pick him up, so he quietly glanced at Li Mu opposite.

He sat down on the seat, with his hands flat on his thighs, his sword was removed from his waist and placed on the left hand side. When he was talking to his father, he was silent and his eyes fell on the table Above, his eyebrows are bright, his appearance is solemn, and his posture is even more serious. He remembered that the two of them slept in the same bed last night, and he gently tucked the quilt for him and coaxed her to sleep. It looks like two people.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel a faint sweetness in my heart.

Gao Qiao also looked at Li Mu.

"Jingchen, there are only a few days left at the end of the year, and there is nothing to do in Beijing for the time being. You can take Ami back for a trip after returning home today. Let's talk about the rest when you come back next year."

Li Mu has made great contributions, and one of the awards given by the emperor is to grant leave, allowing him to return home in fine clothes and return to his hometown.

Now it just happened to be the end of the year. Although Gao Qiao was reluctant to bear her daughter, but since her daughter was married, it would be difficult to keep her at home to keep her old age, so she said this.

Li Mu said respectfully: "Mother had also specially instructed before that Dao Ami should stay in Jiankang to stay old and return after the year. It's okay."

Gao Qiao smiled and waved: "That's your mother's kindness. You should take Ami back."

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Li Mu bowed to Gao Qiao.

Luoshen heard that he was going to return to Beijing with Li Mu soon, and he didn't know what to think for a while, but he looked at Li Mu again, and when he saw that he still didn't look at him, it seemed that she didn't exist, and it was a little different from normal. I was wondering in my heart when I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming from outside the door. I turned my head and saw the figure of my mother appearing at the door. I hurriedly got up and went up to meet her.

Xiao Yongjia's complexion, although much better than last night, was still a little pale, and the light rouge on his cheeks could not hide the tiredness on his face.

Seeing her daughter greet her, she nodded with a smile, and the mother and daughter came together.

Li Mu stood up and greeted Xiao Yongjia.

Xiao Yongjia nodded: "Sit down, don't be too polite."

Her voice was kind, but it sounded slightly hoarse.

Luoshen supported his mother into the seat.

Gao Qiao glanced at his wife and felt that she was very different from usual.

Not only did his attitude towards Li Mu change drastically, but his spirit was not very good.

But I haven't seen each other for a day. Whether it's the tone of her speech or the look in her eyes, they are all bleak and colorless, and she can't see the half-pointed edge of the past.

Gao Qiao had doubts in his heart, but in front of his daughter and son-in-law, it was difficult for him to ask questions. He only said, "I just heard Jingchen say that you allow him to take Ami back to Jingkou. This is very good. Why don't we go back to the palace today, With a meal, I can ask Jingchen to bring Ami back to Jingkou. What do you think?"

He asked his wife in a cautious tone.

Xiao Yongjia didn't look at him at first, his eyes only fixed on Luoshen for a moment, then he looked at her husband and nodded: "You arrange it."

The wife has become so talkative!

Gao Qiao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's it!"

…

In the afternoon, Luoshen and his mother were in the same car, on the way back to Jiankang.

Luoshen's eyes fell on his mother's face, seeing her turn her face slightly, his eyes fixed on the slowly receding mountain outside the window, he had been so fascinated for a long time, he couldn't help leaning over.

"Auntie, you went to look for that woman last night, but you suffered a loss? He told me that he didn't go, just asked one of his brothers to go for him and declined the invitation."

Xiao Yongjia turned his face back, stared at his daughter for a moment, raised his hand to close the window, put Luoshen in his arms, hugged her for a moment, and whispered: "Ami, what Aniang will say to you next, you have to hold it firmly. Remember. Li Mu is a capable person, not only in his current position, but will have great achievements in the future. Although A-Niang doesn't know why he tried to marry you in the first place, since you married him, it should be God's will, A-Niang Mother admits it."

Luoshen stayed for a while, wondering why her mother suddenly said this to herself, and her tone was so strange.

She looked up at her mother.

"Auntie can see that he is very interested in you, so that's fine. But a man like him will continue to rise in status in the future, and more and more women will only stick to it. Remember, if When encountering such a thing in the future, in front of him, he must not be too extreme, but he must not be generous, allowing him to keep other women by his side, let alone giving him the opportunity to get close to others. Treat your husband well. I can be assured of your temperament. I just need to learn some tricks to win over a man's heart, so that he can be obedient to you and give up. A-Niang will tell Aju, if you have any doubts, Just ask her."

Luoshen seemed to understand, but he didn't fully react for a while.

A means to win over a man's heart?

What kind of powerful means is that?

"I heard Aju say that you didn't allow him to sleep with him before, but you haven't gotten married with him yet?"

Luo Shen naturally understood this sentence, his face became hot, he nodded, shook his head again, and said shyly: "Last night, I asked him to sleep in my bed..."

The voice was as thin as a gnat.

"Can we be together?"

Luo Shen was taught that before marriage, and knowing what his mother asked, he immediately blushed and shook his head.

Xiao Yongjia whispered: "After returning to Jingkou, the two of them consummated the marriage earlier. The means of winning the hearts of men are naturally far more than the affairs of the room, but without this, it is absolutely necessary. Remember?"

Luoshen was so ashamed that he lowered his head without even moving his hair.

Xiao Yongjia stared at her daughter, suppressed the grief and love that poured out of her heart, and hugged her in his arms.

"Auntie..."

After a while, when the shyness gradually disappeared, Luoshen sat up straight from his mother's arms and called her.

Seeing her mother, she hesitated and said softly, "Aniang, what you teach your daughter, her daughter will write it down. It's just that Aniang, her daughter doesn't understand, why has Aniang refused to get along with Aye all these years?"

Xiao Yongjia was taken aback for a moment and smiled.

"A-niang is old, and it's too late to understand this truth, it's too late, so I have to teach you to know it early. You can rest assured that A-niang is doing well now, but if everything goes well for you, A-niang will have no regrets. I understand. ?"

…

Gao Mansion, Gao Qi led people to wait outside the gate early, welcoming the head of the family in.

At the end of the night, Gao Qiao set up a family banquet in the mansion, and invited dozens of important Gao clan members and children, including Gao Yun and Gao Yin, to participate in the banquet.

Gao Huan was naturally there. During the banquet, the eldest uncle was chatting and laughing, and the eldest princess had a smile on her face. Although the second uncle did not have the good face of the eldest uncle, he was able to look straight at Li Mu. Gao Qiaoxian has recognized this son-in-law. Li Mu himself, no matter how he talks, advances or retreats, or gestures, he is all like everyone else, not to mention the name of the previous battle, who would rebel against Gao Qiao and dare to show half disrespect to his son-in-law. color?

The stone that Gao Huan had been pressing in his heart was finally removed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

A family banquet can be said to be enjoyed by everyone. At the end of the Xu hour, everyone dispersed drunk and was supported by their respective families.

Except for Xiao Yongjia, the girls of the Gao family would not sit in the middle of such a family banquet. Luoshen packed up the luggage that he was going to take on the road tomorrow. After taking a bath, he got into bed, lay on the pillow, flipped through the books, read and read, but gradually he became fascinated.

The advice from her mother on the way back during the day quietly came to her mind, making her a little uneasy.

For whatever reason, Aye Aniang accepted Li Mu as her son-in-law.

Although every time she thinks of Lu Jianzhi, the lonely back of the night he left, she still makes her sad, and feels very uncomfortable. But this is also impossible.

Maybe as A-Niang said, everything is doomed.

She has no relationship with Brother Lu. In the future, if there are no more variables, Li Muying will be the prince of her life.

She understands some of A-Niang's words, but she doesn't seem to understand.

But she was affected by her mother's words, which was true.

Thinking that tonight, she was going to be in the same room with Li Mu again, she suddenly became nervous.

"Li Langjun is back!"

Suddenly, the voice of a maid came from outside the door.

Luo Shen's heart jumped, he hurriedly threw the book away, turned over, fell asleep, closed his eyes, and pretended to have fallen asleep.

The door was gently pushed open, and there was a sound of footsteps that were also very light.

Luoshen recognized that it was Li Mu's footsteps.

After a while, he came out of the bathroom, seemed to hesitate for a moment, turned off the light, and then walked over.

He lay down gently.

Luo Shen kept his eyes closed.

Nothing else has happened.

That night, she pretended to be asleep at first, but then she got really tired, and it was dawn.

When I woke up, there was no one else around, it was empty.

Luoshen didn't know whether he was relieved or slightly disappointed. He sat on the bed for a while, and suddenly thought that he had to say goodbye to his parents this morning to go to Jingkou with him, so he got out of bed and called someone. After finishing grooming, he was about to go out when he saw Li Mu entering the house and stopped.

Today, he was wearing the official uniform of a third-rank military attache in the imperial court, a blue robe with dark brocade woven with soap, and a sash around his waist. He looked very energetic. He stood there, glanced at her a little, and smiled: "I just came from After coming out of the palace, I have already resigned to Your Majesty. If you are here, I will take you to say goodbye to your parents-in-law and return to Jingkou?"

Luoshen lowered his eyes and hummed softly.

…

When Jiankang arrived at Jingkou, if Li Mu rode on his own, he would arrive in three days at the latest. Because it takes Luoshen to pass, it is natural to walk on a more comfortable waterway.

Gao Qiao sent his daughter and son-in-law to the door. Li Mu and Luoshen said goodbye to him. He ordered Gao Yin and Gao Huan brothers to send the couple to the boat dock on their behalf. After the group left, they came back and found Xiao Yongjia.

Seeing her sitting alone in the room, her back was motionless, she hesitated, walked to her side, and persuaded: "Fortunately, Jingkou is not too far away, if you want Ami in the future, just pick her up. Li Mother is a reasonable person, and it is convenient to speak."

Xiao Yongjia smiled lightly and did not answer him.

Gao Qiao remembered that yesterday, her face was not very good, as if she was ill. After she came back, she was busy with this and that. After the family dinner, she went straight back to the house. With a tired look on her face, she didn't dare to disturb her at that time. At this moment, she finally found the opportunity to speak, so she asked, "Yesterday morning, I saw that your face was not very good, but your body was not in good shape? Please see a doctor."

Xiao Yongjia said: "Take care of you. I'm fine."

Gao Qiao was silent for a moment, and then said: "By the way, I saw Your Majesty the night before. Your Majesty asked me to send you a message and say hello."

Xiao Yongjia nodded: "It's work."

Husband and wife face each other, and there is nothing else to say. Gao Qiao stood for a moment, then suddenly remembered the Qingxi Garden incident, and hurriedly said again: "You know about the fire in Qingxi Garden the night before, right? You don't have to worry about the funeral of Prince Yulin's residence, I have told Gao Qi that he will handle it. "

Xiao Yongjia stared at him and said nothing for a while.

Gao Qiao saw her staring at him with strange eyes, as if in a trance, not sure what she was thinking for a while.

"A Ling, why do you look at me like that?"

He subconsciously touched his face.

Xiao Yongjia seemed to have regained his senses and turned his face.

"I'm going to Bailuzhou to live for a few days. There are some things. When I think about it clearly, I'll ask you to tell me."

She got up, passed by Gao Qiao, and walked over.

…

Gao Yin and Gao Huan sent Li Mu and Luoshen to the pier. After saying goodbye, the boat left the shore and moved away along the river.

There is a lot of traffic near the pier, and people come and go. Murong was sitting by the window of a private room on the second floor of a restaurant by the river, drinking a glass of wine alone, his eyes followed the shadow of the boat heading towards Jingkou, his purple eyes indifferent.

A man in ordinary clothes went upstairs and took off his hat, but it was Xu Yue.

Murong looked away, with a respectful smile on his face, got up and invited him to be seated.

Xu Yue said: "Brother told me to tell me that Gao Qiao is in front of His Majesty, and it is not good for you to enter. Fortunately, His Majesty did not obey. Be careful of yourself in the future, I am afraid Gao Qiao will not give up."

Murong saluted on his behalf: "Thank you for the envoy."

"It is said that the men and women of the Murong family are all born stunners, and they deserve their reputation..."

Xu Yue looked at Murong Ti's handsome face across from him, with a playful look in his eyes.

"Your Majesty has not eaten the five food powder for a long time. After spending the night with the beauty you presented, you will eat again. Very good. As long as you are faithful in your work, the crown prince will succeed to the throne as soon as possible, and you will borrow your troops and horses according to your previous promise."

Murong showed gratitude for his eyes, knelt on the seat, and bowed down.

Xu Yue leaned over and said in a low voice, "I don't need to do this kind of trivial matter myself. I just want to respect you as a person, so I will tell you personally. You must remember my kindness to you."

Murong thanked him again, his face full of gratitude.

Xu Yue leaned over, stroked his face frivolously, and with a smug laughter, got up and left.

Murong was always kneeling on the ground, like a wooden carving of clay, motionless, until Xu Yue left, and the sound of footsteps completely disappeared. Fang slowly raised his head, staring at the direction he was leaving, and there was a trace of deep resentment in his eyes. color.

In order to successfully borrow troops from the Xu family in the future, he will quietly present his younger sister, Murong Zhe, the most outstanding woman in the clan, to Emperor Xingping. Afraid of being known by Gao Qiao, Murong Zhe entered the palace as an ordinary palace maid.

He slowly stood up from the place, looking out at the surging river at his feet outside the window, swearing inwardly.

Just wait, these ignorant and stupid Han people of the Southern Dynasty, one day, Murong will be ashamed, step on the north, and then march south, so that the prosperous smoke and willows in the south of the big river will all belong to the Murong family. !

At that time, all those who have insulted him today, one by one, he will definitely repay them tenfold!

…

A few days later, at the end of the year, Luoshen followed Li Mu and set foot on the pier in Jingkou again.

The weather was very good that day, and it seemed that half of the people in Jingkou had nothing to do. After hearing the news, they rushed to the pier to see Li Mu returning home. There were people everywhere, cheering and laughing.

Guo Zhan, Sun Fangzhi, and Dai Yuan, who had followed Li Mu to Shu before, returned to Jingkou two days earlier because they were traveling by land. Knowing that Li Mu and Luoshen arrived today, they brought people early and waited in line at the pier. All of them were majestic and majestic. The Beijing password also brought an officer to greet him. More than that.

Naturally, for Luoshen, the first time I set foot on this place and the feeling of coming back today are completely different.

She has gradually become familiar with this place and the people in this place. When they disembarked, they were very happy to see Ah Ting running to the pier to greet her. They led her into the car and returned to Li's house under the gaze of passers-by.

The door of Li's house was open, and a dozen or so women from the neighborhood were crowding at the door to look around. Suddenly, they saw Li Mu protecting a car back. Knowing that Luoshen had arrived, some people came to pick them up with a smile. News.

Luoshen got out of the car, entered the door with Li Mu, and then went to the entrance of the courtyard. When he saw Lu Shi being supported by Shen Shi, he hurried up, took her hand, and called out "Ajia".

Lu Shi was wearing new clothes today and was in good spirits. He touched Luoshen's hand, clasped backhandedly, and said with a smile, "It's really Ami back. A family misses you a little."

A simple sentence, but the most sincere welcome to Luoshen's return.

"Sister-in-law, I forgot to tell you just now, I miss you too!"

On the way here, Ah Ting said that the owner said the West family, and told Luoshen about the new things that happened in the nearby neighbors when she was away. He also said that recently, there have always been wealthy households in the neighborhood who came and offered to give away their farmhouses, but they were all rejected by Eminem. I politely declined, but I probably forgot to mention this. I was reminded by Lu, and quickly added a sentence.

Everyone laughed, entered together, and talked. Later, when Li Mu went out, Shen shi and others knew that Luoshen had worked **** the road and left, and Lu shi asked Luoshen to go back to the house to rest.

Luoshen returned to the house in the east wing.

The East House was cleaned yesterday, and it was clean and spotless. If you move in today, you only need to put the luggage you brought and make the bed again.

Luoshen sat there, watching Ah Ju directing the servants and maids to carry the boxes in and out, busying themselves.

She noticed that Aju had also taken away the bed that Li Mu had previously left to lie alone on the couch. After the bed was made, the sky darkened.

Li Mu pushed various invitations and entertainment outside and went home for dinner.

Lu asked Li Munian where he was going.

Li Mudao: "Your Majesty has granted a one-month leave. After the Lantern Festival, at the end of the first month at the latest, my son should return to Jiankang and listen to His Majesty's call."

Lu Shi smiled and said: "Since there is nothing else to do, except for entertainment at home, don't go out and run around, it is better to accompany Ami more."

Li Mu glanced at Luoshen who was beside him with his head down and was earnestly cooking rice, and said, "My son knows."
