Chapter 23 Return
This wind and snow covered half of the Tang Dynasty.
Fortunately, the recruitment is not like going on an expedition. A special point has been set up in the government office, and the office in the tile house is much better than setting up a tent in the field. It's just that the snow is too heavy, and the roof seems to be concave, as if it can't be carried and is about to be broken. Several pawns were set aside from the camp to go to the roof, and the tiles were also cold and crisp. They dared not borrow their strength and broke as soon as they touched them.
After Rong Yu sat on the desk, there was a cracking sound from the top of his head. He was upset and frowned against the heop. He Langa once saw that he was unhappy on his face and sent people to the bottom of the stairs to shout, telling the people in the room to be careful. This is called, and I don't want the tiles to be broken more severely.
He raised his head from the roster and said to the accompanying General Huaihua Xing Gao, "How much is the difference?"
Xing Gao said, "The number of people has just been asked about the inventory. It's just that the court recently promulgated the recruitment system, and people everywhere complained. I'm afraid it's not easy to raise 50,000 voluntarily in the short term.
He listened and his fingers were on the case. After a long meditation, he said, "After a long peaceful life, who is willing to abandon his children and leave his hometown! Our military order is in place, and now the deadline for March is approaching, and it can't be delayed any longer. I don't know how late the snow will be, and it's too late to wait for it to clear up. You immediately ordered to go to the mansion, order the captain to lead the team, and go to the village. I gave a lot of face two months ago, and now it's time to show my power.
His impatientness is not only like this matter, but his heart is like an arrow, but he can't get rid of it, and no matter how good his temper is, it has been worn out. Originally, I promised her to return to Chang'an in half a month, but I didn't expect Hedong's recruitment to be so laborious. Everything is intertwined, and it is not easy for him to leave. With many eyes, he has issued a decree, and at least he will take it on the right track to get out.
But this area is two months!
Xing Gao took the order, and He Langa once came forward and arched his hand. "This morning, the camp sent people back and forth. It was sunny before, and it was okay to practice step by step. But yesterday, the snow almost stopped. Those new graduates were close to their families and slipped out of the camp to see their daughter-in-law. Look, the momentum can't be suppressed, so I came to ask the general to show how to take care of it?
rong yu sneered, he couldn't even go home, and these soldiers turned upside down! It is these people who keep chewing, which makes this job so difficult. He had a resentment, and then he began to attack even more. He Langa once said, "Let's set a rule today. The military order is like a mountain. It's not about buying radishes and cabbage in the market. Who dares to ignore it, serve it with a stick! If you commit it again and again, find out a few for me to sacrifice the flag at the gate of the camp. I'd like to see who dares to try the law with his own life!"
He Landao also left the government with several vice generals. For a moment, the hall was deserted, and he looked at the white smoke rising in the cup, as if his mind had disappeared invisibly.
Although he was busy, he also took time to write back. Up to now, there are six or seven letters to do less. But every time the stone sinks into the sea, there is no echo. The more he wrote, the colder he became. I don't know what happened to Chang'an. Whether she couldn't reply to the letter in trouble, or she repented and made up her mind to draw a clear line with him. He was really distressed. She said she wanted to get out of the jam. He asked an acquaintance to pave the way to the Western Regions. Buying a land should always give her a stable life. Two months later, the seller returned the goods, but she had no news.
He was depressed and turned back to Tingzhou and said, "The middle army in control is coming. I have something to ask."
Tingzhou responded and hurriedly went out to turn around the corridor. After a while, the messenger arrived and saluted the seatmate with his forked hand. "Be humble and listen to the general's dispatch."
He opened his lips and said, "Let me ask you, was Chisu sent to Jixianfang? Who received the letter?
The messenger said, "He was humble and sent to Jixianfang to carry it according to the general's instructions. The first few trips were handed over to the stewmaker's mother. This time, she closed the door to thank the guests because of the house's preparations for a happy event. She had no choice but to give the letter to the boy at the door and ask him to hand it to her.
He was stunned when he heard this, "What's the happy event?" Who will have a happy event?
The messenger looked confused, "Doesn't the general know? Zaizhi is going to marry the princess's mansion. Isn't it mentioned in the old lady's letter?
He only felt that his heart was about to break. He said that he wanted her to propose the contract with Lan Sheng, but now how can he go the opposite and talk about the wedding! Have you really forgotten the previous things? It's strange that he didn't even reply to the letter. It turned out that he was ready to get married and kicked him away as a burden!
He raised his hand to send the person away, stood up, staggered, and couldn't even stand still. He loved the wrong person by loving her so much. His heart was full of her, and he could do anything he never thought of before. Without the lingering night before leaving, he still avoided and knew how to restrain himself. But at that point, he thought he was responsible and did not hesitate to shoulder their future. He wrote a letter to resign, and he deployed every step of their exit. Just as he was full of hope, she wanted to marry Lan Sheng!
He suspected that he was simply a fool, such a small person, with so many mental eyes! Is she complaining that he didn't take her away immediately? She didn't know how difficult it was to resign. It can't be said that he is a general in his prime, that is, an ordinary six-grade official. At the age of unloading his armor and returning to the field, without the two holy edicts, it is not easy to leave Beijing. Can't she understand him? Can't you give him any more time?
He has never been so desperate. The future is so vast that he can't see or reach it. He overestimated her love for him. Yes, it was already unbearable, and there might be no way out to stay withered. She is a smart person and says that she can withdraw cleanly.
He stumbled away in the snow, and the goose-sized snowflakes rushed over without thinking, and he couldn't even open his eyes. He didn't know where he was going, just wandering aimlessly. He heard Tingzhou's shouting behind him. For a moment, he stopped and turned around and saw Tingzhou catch up with an umbrella in a panic. "Where is the prince going? With such heavy snow, even roads and ditches can't be separated from outside..."
He reached out and took the umbrella. "I'll walk alone. You don't have to follow me."
Tingzhou stood with his hand down and watched him stag forward. He didn't dare to disobey the order, but after all, he was worried and followed him far away. Watching him move along the wall and pause for a while, the look of his soul is sad. Tingzhou looked bleakly at his back in the wind and snow, and he knew something about him and the young lady. This relationship is really ridiculous and helpless. Now that the young lady is getting married, can she draw an end? He can't say, maybe he can, maybe he can't.
Looking at the sixth son, he stood with his back against the wall brick for a while and didn't know what he was thinking. Suddenly, I turned back along the same road, and my pace was much faster than when I went. Tingzhou couldn't avoid it, only a fool there. I was afraid that he would get angry and was ready to be scolded. I didn't want him to pass by him. He didn't even hit him. He just said, "Be Ma, I'm going back to Chang'an."
Tingzhou was dumbfounded, "Now? At present, it's windy and snowy, and I can't even tell the road. It's not too late to wait for the snow to stop. I don't know if he heard it or not. His behavior has been far away for a long time. He couldn't, so he had to rush to the feeding horse room behind the government office with his sleeves.
When Lin heard the news from the princess, she was glad, but sad. Fortunately, Bu Nuan finally agreed to get married, and finally lost her thoughts. What was sad was that she was going to renew her fragrance and surname with her grandson in her stomach.
Zhixian just came to make a scene, cried and cursed Bu Nuan and the child, and asked her to drink back with a straight face. She is really getting more and more impatient with her. If she hadn't seen this old relative, she would have been dismissed 800 years ago. Such a girl who doesn't know the affairs of the times is rare. Knowing that the situation is worrying, she is not busy attracting people's hearts, but she even ran to Wodan Garden to entangle her. It's like Bu Nuan's pregnancy with her consent to shake the position of her general's wife.
She tilted on the couch and only sighed, and the Buddha beads in her hand said, "I've been worried to death in the past two months, and I've lost a circle of weight. When his son becomes famous, he will wait for blessings. I'm fine and more afraid.
When Mother Shang heard her complain, she persuaded her, "Whose parents don't worry about their children? There are always times when people go narrow, and your blessings are good. Ask Chang'an, which one is not hot for you? Nowadays, when you encounter Kan'er, you must practice like Bodhisattva's nirvana. Take it easy, at least for the New Year. When the eldest lady comes out of the cabinet, Miss Zhixian will not make any noise. Next spring will be peaceful!"
"Is it peaceful?" She shook her head slowly, "What a big deal? It's not so easy. I'm afraid I'm more worried! The son is stable, and he has to care about the child. I was born to worry about my life!"
It's like a gaping water bag, and at this point, there is a million involvement flowing out. The fruits of the previous life seem to be annoyed and have a taste of fear. Mother Shang's voice was low, "I heard that Dugu is now growing again in the clouds. After all, she is the family of Empress Yuanzhen. Even if she is guilty, it is not impossible to return to the Central Plains as an official."
Lin listened to her mention the surname and felt stuffy in her chest. He said in panic, "Where did you get the news?"
Mama Shang put her hand under her skirt and turned sideways and said, "My nephew donated an eighth grade department in the cloud, and I accidentally said it when I returned to Beijing a few days ago. I heard it in my ears and my heart was tight. I didn't know if I should talk to you or not.
Lin Shi stopped there and gritted his teeth for a long time and said, "I thought the Dugu family had become a peerless family, but why did it rekindle again! Can you find out if it's Dugulang? Or is it a collateral line of the clan?"
Mama Shang nodded in her frightened eyes, "It's Duguxin. In those years, Dugu Huaien was convicted of conspiracy, and Dugu's family withdrew from the Central Plains and returned to the clouds. After all, the hope clan has been recuperating for decades, and still can't wake up! What should I do now, in case..."
"What's the case!" Lin shouted, "Let's talk, who can do anything to you!"
That's what she said, but the past flooded her. She closed her eyes and sighed. The life in the house looked bright, but it was actually not easy. People who were not in it could understand it. A woman wants to fight for her son, and she has everything. She can't help it. In the smoke-smoky wife and concubine war, who can laugh to the end depends entirely on her stomach's competition. She is the winner. She stood still in the smoke and managed the Shen family smoothly for 20 years. Now the opponent is dead and retired, but there is a new disaster.
She couldn't help shrinking and didn't dare to think about it, and she shouldn't think about it. She forced herself to focus on Bu Nuan, "What about the child?"
M Mother Shang lowered her eyes and said, "The future of the sixth son is critical. In the future, Miss Zhixian will also give birth. Isn't it easy to have a child? Besides, the eldest lady has been alone, and Mr. Lan often comes and goes. How do you know that this child must be the sixth son? At this point, the cruelty will be over. At least the foundation of this industry is the most important. It doesn't count to make a big trouble for a child.
Lin squeezed his lips, but he needed to sacrifice everywhere to retain this ten-thousand-year foundation. A hairy child who hasn't had a mother's womb!
