Chapter 216 Arrival
Dengzhou is a state city. But from the outside to the inside, Lv Xianger can't see the appearance of the state city. Broken gates, high loess walls, sparse people. In terms of feeling, it doesn't seem to be as prosperous as Qingshi County.
Except for Lv Xianger and her two maids, Huo Bao and Li Mo look happy. When he saw the gate of Dengzhou, Huo Bao took the two into the city first. Lv Xianger, after Li Mo's introduction, knew that Dengzhou was usually very quiet. However, on the 15th of each month, it is no less lively than that in Beijing. Because on this day, the gate is open, allowing outsiders to trade with insiders. Although the place of the transaction is not in Dengzhou, the merchants from the customs came to Dengzhou in advance to stay, waiting for the arrival of that day.
Listening to the introduction of Li Mo, who was riding outside the carriage, Lv Xianger, Lvwei and Lv Yun had a simple impression of Dengzhou. Just as Lv Xianger wanted to ask where the trading market was, several horses rushed out of the city. Looking at the man on the horse, Lv Xianger didn't have time to ask. She immediately asked the driver to stop the carriage and jumped out of the car.
Li Mo also dismounted at the horse at the same time and gave him a wink at those people, and those people rode into the city. But when they saw the people coming, they still saluted immediately before leaving. However, Li Mo led the two carriages brought by Lv Xianger and went to one side to watch the people approaching.
"Xiang'er, why did you just arrive in Dengzhou? I received the news half a month ago." Although she didn't wear armor, Mrs. Li, who was dressed in strong clothes, was still much more heroic than when she was in Beijing.
Lv Xianger knew that the person in front of her was her aunt, but because of her location, she just shouted with red eyes: "Madam"
Mrs. Li obviously knew something. Looking at Lv Xianger's red eyes, her eyes were also a little crystal clear, but she pulled Lv Xianger and said with a smile, "I'm afraid you haven't traveled so far. You must be tired. It's good this time. I'll be home when I get to Dengzhou. You are big, the general and Wen Hao. I have heard that you have arrived and are rushing back from the barracks. Let's go home..."
"Go home." Lv Xianger sucked her nose and then showed a smiling face.
Mrs. Li took Lv Xianger and got into the carriage, but when she saw Li Mozhi, she was a little surprised: "Brother Li, why did you follow me?"
Li Mo looked at the people looking this way. His face was a little solemn, but he just said, "It's a long story. Let's go back home and talk about it. The little lady's journey was bumpy, but she didn't have a good rest.
"Oh, let's talk about it when you get home." How could Mrs. Li not hear the deep meaning of Li Mo's words, and her face also turned a little cold. But when she looked back at Lv Xiang's child, she still smiled.
Entering Dengzhou, Lv Xianger listened to Mrs. Li's introduction and looked at the streets outside and houses. From the appearance, Dengzhou does not have the prosperity of Beijing Normal University, nor does it have the style of Jiangling. But from the pedestrians, Lv Xianger felt a breath of peace of mind, freedom and joy.
Mrs. Li seemed to see Lv Xianger's expression and said with some emotion, "Compared with Beijing, I still like Dengzhou. You don't have to be so careful here. You don't have to deal with those ladies.
"Look at what the old lady said, after all, Beijing Normal University is at the feet of the emperor, so it's natural to pay attention to it." Lv Xianger didn't want Mrs. Li to be infected by her own emotions and quickly talked and laughed. And the green micro and green clouds beside them are also funny laughter, which makes Mrs. Li can't help but be happy.
Soon, the carriage stopped. Mrs. Li pointed to a door and said, "That's our mansion. Get out of the car quickly."
"Madam, is this what Uncle Mo said about the 'Zhongyong Palace'?!" Looking at the door opposite, Lv Xianger was very surprised. Li Xingzhou, a loyal and brave king, is also a prince, and his palace is too shabby.
Mrs. Li pulled Lv Xianger out of the car and said with a smile, "This is not the royal palace. After the prince returned to the capital, the original royal palace was given to the governor..."
Mrs. Li's words were interrupted by the sound of horses' hoofs from far to near. Everyone looked sideways and saw Li Feng and Li Wenhao riding horses, coming one after the other. Huo Bao and two other young bodyguards followed.
Li Wenhao jumped off the horse without waiting for the mount to stop, which made Mrs. Li look at him angrily. Li Wenhao giggled and ran to Lu Xianger. Li Wenhao didn't expect that Chaoxia, who had a good impression, was her own sister, which took him a long time to accept this fact. During this period in Dengzhou, Li Wenhao finally came out of the shadow, but heard that Lv Xianger was also his sister. Although she was just a cousin, it also stunned Li Wenhao for a long time.
At this time, Li Wenhao learned more about the past of the Li family from Li Feng's mouth many years ago. I also know that Li Xingzhou can't recognize Lv Xianger because he recognized Chaoxia. Obviously, he is from the Li family, but no one knows about it. Understanding the inside story, Li Wenhao can be said to have a sense of guilt towards Lu Xianger. When he heard that Lv Xianger was coming to Dengzhou, Li Wenhao planned to do his best to compensate his cousin who lost her biological parents when she was a child.
Li Wenhao looked at the time compared with the capital, but there was a thin Lv Xianger. He raised his smile and called himself 'Cousin'. Li Feng still knew Li Wenhao very well. When he opened his mouth, he pushed him aside a few steps and smiled at Lv Xianger: "General Huo has sent someone to get the news. Since the little lady is here, she will live in Li's house first. When General Huo comes back from Gaochang, he will make other preparations..."
This other preparation is obviously the marriage between Huo Qingsong and Lv Xianger. Lv Xianger couldn't hear it, and her face was red. Seeing this, Mrs. Li hurriedly said, "Oh, it's all home. Just go in and talk about it. Standing at the door of the house and talking, I'm not afraid that Xiang'er will be tired.
"Yes, yes, come into the house." Obviously, Li Feng didn't see enough about Lv Xianger, but he got the hint of Mrs. Li, so he nodded and pulled Li Wenhao into the house first.
Li Wenhao, who was a little darker and thinner than before, didn't care about Li Feng's rudeness to him at all, but made a grimace like Lv Xianger. Lv Xianger was immediately amused and followed Mrs. Li into the house. Seeing that Li Wenhao seemed to return to his first sight, Lv Xianger was also relieved. When she left the capital, Chaoxia also asked her to enlighten Li Wenhao. Why did Li Wenhao leave the capital to come to the border gate? How could Chaoxia not know the inside story?
"Come on, Xianger, here is your room and see if it enters your eyes. If there is anything missing, just tell me, and I'll ask someone to buy more. After Mrs. Li entered Li's house, she directly led Lv Xianger into the back house and came to a separate small courtyard.
Looking at the yard wall with some wet marks, Lv Xianger knew that the yard must have been specially newly renovated because she came. Entering the room, Lv Xianger looked at everything temporarily new in the room, and couldn't help but feel sour in her heart and her eyes turned red. Mrs. Li didn't expect Lv Xianger to shed tears. She quickly took her hand and said with emotion, "Xiang'er, I can only wrong you in front of outsiders. But at home, you are the granddaughter of the prince, the cousin of the Li family.
"Xiang'er wrote down what her aunt said. Thank you for your aunt's attention." Lv Xianger could see that what Mrs. Li said was from her heart. However, she also saw that Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li looked at her differently. It seemed that Mrs. Li was much more kind to her.
Mrs. Li seemed to see something, but there was no explanation. Just looking at Lv Yun and Lv Wei simply tidied up the room, let Lv Xianger sleep and left. But before she left, in the chat with Lv Xianger, she said that she would solve this doubt for Lv Xianger.
Lv Xianger had a bottom in her heart, and she was much more relaxed. Sitting in the soft **, Lu Xianger was really a little sleepy. Although I was sitting in a wide carriage all the way, it was not as comfortable as lying on ** anyway. Seeing that Lu Wei and Lv Yun were also tired on their faces, Lv Xianger also sent them out to rest before lying down by herself.
Lv Xianger, who was supposed to recognize the bed, may be really tired. It didn't take long to lie down and fell asleep. Lv Yun entered the room once half an hour later and found that Lv Xianger was really asleep. Then she quietly closed the door and never bothered Lv Xianger again.
Lv Xianger and her party arrived in Dengzhou in the morning. Lv Xianger fell asleep when she arrived at Li's house. This sleep lasted for half a day, and I didn't even get up to eat lunch. Li Feng wanted to talk to Lv Xianger. Knowing that she was sleeping soundly, he went to the barracks with Li Wenhao after lunch. And Mrs. Li sat in the yard with a maid, reading, waiting for Lv Xianger to wake up. It was not until the sun was far west that the sound came from Lv Xianger's yard. Mrs. Li knew that Lv Xianger should be awake, so she ordered the little maid to cook in the kitchen, and she put down the book and went into Lv Xianger's yard.
In the yard, Lv Yun is about to walk into Lv Xianger's room with a basin of water, while Lv Wei is sorting out the things brought from Beijing. Before that, the prices of the two cars were put in the yard. Before she came to clean them up, Lv Xianger fell asleep. At this time, Lv Xianger woke up, and Lv Wei was not afraid to make a noise to alarm her.
Mrs. Li has long learned from Li Xingzhou's letter that Lv Yun and Lv Wei also knew the relationship between Lv Xianger and the Li family, and she was a little vigilant. At this time, seeing the behavior of the two maids, Mrs. Li nodded, but she did not give up paying attention to them. You know, Lv Xianger's background can be called a major event. If she misses a little information and is known by the emperor, the consequences will be very serious.
"Auncle, what are you doing standing in the yard, but what gift did you bring?" Just as Mrs. Li was about to walk to Lv Xianger's room, Lv Xiang'er had already come out. I found that Lv Xianger was much more energetic than before, and Mrs. Li also greeted her with a smile.
