Chang Anqing

Chapter 44
After returning to the Duke's Mansion, Li Sui first brought Baoying to visit his father Li Zhang, and accompanied Li Zhang to talk for a while. Seeing that the sky was getting darker outside the window, Li Zhang gently said to Li Sui, "Yesterday you said you would come back. , I ordered someone to clean up your house and the yard next to you, it's not too early, you and Baoying should go to rest earlier."

Baoying heard that and followed Li Sui to stand up. Li Sui saw that Baoying's expression was still good tonight and there was nothing unusual, but she was still worried about the matter of Chen Zhiyan, and she would be sad. She was worried.

So Li Sui smiled and pulled Baoying forward and said, "Aye is sympathetic, I shouldn't have said anything, but I still have a lot to say to Baoying tonight. On the contrary, it is inconvenient, it is better to let Baoying live with me, or have someone to take care of."

Li Zhangyuan thought that Yang Baoying was a guest for the first time when he entered the mansion, so there was no reason for the guests to be crowded together, so he deliberately cleaned the yard separated by a wall from Li Sui. It was spacious and elegant, and it was convenient for the two little ladies to communicate with each other.At this moment, seeing that his precious daughter wanted to pull someone Bingzhu to speak his own words, he naturally had no reason to stop him, so he smiled dotingly: "Well, you always have your reasons—"

After speaking, he looked at Baoying again and said, "But it also depends on whether Baoying is willing or not."

Baoying was originally introverted, but when she arrived at the new place, she was a little more reserved. Now that Li Sui was dragging her to live with her, she was naturally willing, so Li Zhang stopped talking, and left the two little ladies to go.

When she returned to the yard where she used to live, Li Sui felt a little bit disappointed.I saw that the large green lacquer characters on the plaque still read the words "No Bamboo Garden". As soon as I walked in, the flowers and trees in the yard and the furnishings in the house were exactly the same as those in the Taiwei's mansion. Poor, you can see at a glance that it must be carefully taken care of and cleaned on weekdays.

At this moment, Baoying saw Wei Wei for a while, and then there was a hint of envy in her eyes that was not easily detectable, and she muttered in her words: "The Duke actually set up this place to look like the Taiwei's mansion."

Hearing Baoying say this, Li Sui shook his head and said, "It's not the same as the Taiwei's mansion here."

Baoying looked over in amazement when she heard the words, and saw Li Sui pulling her into the house and saying, "In the past, every brick, every tile, every flower and every tree here was designed by Aye Aniang herself. When I went to Yuqingguan, my aunt took me into the mansion, worried that I would go to the mansion alone, without Aya Aniang to take care of me, and I would feel uncomfortable, so I ordered people to follow the courtyard one by one."

Speaking of this, those memories came to Li Sui's heart bit by bit. Because there are two sons and one daughter under his knees, and the elder sister is the eldest daughter, Li's treatment of Yang Yan and Yang Che is as harsh as Yang Chongyuan on weekdays. , treats Yang Yan even more, but in comparison, Li treats her only daughter with all kinds of love, just like the softest place in her heart, she can't wait to give the best things in the world. my sister.

Later, when she entered the Taiwei's mansion, Mrs. Li treated her like her own youngest daughter. She had everything that my sister had, and she would be like an ordinary mother, smiling and sitting under the porch watching her and my sister throwing pots and shooting arrows. , while wiping the sweat for them, while asking the maid to bring their favorite sweet soup plum juice.When she was ill and had a high fever, he would stand by her bed every night, put on a handkerchief on her forehead, and quietly lowered her head to wipe her tears.

It is more like her mother than Li's aunt. It is because of Li's love that she was able to fill the vacant piece of her heart since her mother left. of.

Li Sui now does not know whether Yang Chongyuan has let Emperor Yuancheng give medicine to his sister, does his aunt know.If she knew, Li Sui was thinking, what else is there for her to miss and look back on in the huge Taiwei's mansion.If she didn't know, she couldn't guess whether her aunt would fight with Yang Chongyuan for the sake of her sister and the child in her womb.

After finishing the grooming, Li Sui changed into the embroidered pajamas made of green calyx yarn under the service of Yu Nu, and went to bed first. He lay there when he had nothing to do, picked up a chess book on hand and flipped through it. At this moment, Yu Nu glanced that there was no one else in the room, only Nian Nu was extinguishing the two most dazzling candles in the outside world, and then whispered calmly: "County Master, just now Li Wei asked the servants to report to you, Jiu. Song was sent to Shule Town—"

Noticing the pause in Yu Nu's words, Li Sui raised her eyes slightly on the page, and saw Yu Nu's lips move: "Acting as a camp prostitute in the military camp."

Li Sui held the hand of the book page for a while, and Yu Nu continued: "The people we sent got your password and wanted to rescue him quietly, but they found that those who escorted Jiuge were still secretly watching. Jiuge, I didn't act rashly, I was afraid that I would scare the snake, so I had to wait for the opportunity to start."

Li Sui had some points in her heart about Jiuge's result, but she didn't expect that her aunt would prevent her so far.

"Then let them watch, and if you can think of a way, you can secretly take care of it, and let her live a little better—"

In the end, no matter in the past life or the present, Jiuge's life is still like a mustard, like duckweed.In Li Sui's view, Jiuge's nature is not bad, the only thing wrong is that he should not fall in love with Yang Yan. Poor people in control.

In this life, if she can find out the truth of Jiuge's transformation from love to hate, she may be able to solve Jiuge's later hatred, which is naturally good, but if Jiuge is obsessed, she will still bet on the road of her previous life. All righteousness is done.

"Master, there is one more thing."

Hearing Yunu's voice again, Li Sui looked sideways again, only to hear her say: "Li Wei also found that besides us, there is a group of people who are also staring at Jiuge's actions all the way, but that group of people has never made a move, We have no way of knowing the thoughts of those people, so Li Wei and the others are afraid that their actions will be more restricted."

Hearing this, Li Sui's eyes flashed a ray of light, and a slightly imperceptible arc floated on his lips and said, "In this case, I tell them to be more careful, I'm afraid we will draw out that snake soon."

"Yes, the servant understands-"

Seeing Li Sui nodding in satisfaction, Yu Nu added a little Laoshan sandalwood to the hollowed-out golden beast red gold incense ball hanging on the gauze curtain of the bed. In the past, my master never liked to use incense. Since the last birthday banquet, they have been habitually asking them to put this fragrance on before going to bed to sleep peacefully, and Yu Nu wondered if it was because of the shock last time.

And how did she know that although Li Sui didn't like spices, but after entering the middle palace in her previous life, the things she had to worry about were like flying flakes, and she couldn't sleep peacefully. Sleep well.

So now, it has become a habit and can't be changed.

At this moment, Baoying, who had finished washing up, changed into her bedclothes and came in. The two masters and servants had long been silent, one was reading a book, the other turned around and bowed to Baoying before saying to Li Sui, "County master, slaves and servants. Go down first."

Seeing Li Sui nodding silently, both Yu Nu and Nian Nu respectfully bowed and retreated, only Li Sui put down the chess sheet in his hand, moved his body into the bed, and left the outside vacant.

"Look, I warmed the bed for you."

Hearing Li Sui's words, Baoying laughed, stepped forward and lifted the quilt a little and lay down.

"I heard that you met King Yuling tonight?"

Hearing this, Li Sui glanced at Baoying, and at this moment, she was smiling, and her eyes were full of meaning.

Seeing that Baoying was still so interested, Li Sui couldn't help but feel relieved, and said "um" calmly, and then said: "I know what you are thinking, but there is nothing."

"Oh?"

Baoying raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, as if she had caught some not-so-trivial news and said, "Can you tell me, nothing?"

Seeing that Baoying was unrelenting, Li Sui finally smiled helplessly: "I just strolled around Pingkangfang with him, and ate a bowl of mutton in a water basin, right—"

Speaking of this, Li Sui's eyes lit up and said, "The mutton soup there is better than the one in the mansion, and there are also the Hu cakes. I'll take you to try something fresh tomorrow morning. Let's go back to the mansion."

Seeing Li Sui mentioning that he can eat, but his eyes are bright and endless, Baoying suddenly felt that in Li Sui's eyes, a person as handsome and handsome as the King of Yuling is not comparable to a bowl of mutton soup, two It's important to have a cookie.

Baoying shook her head involuntarily, and pointed her finger at Li Sui with a smile: "You—"

How could Li Sui not know Baoying's thoughts, but how does the pure-hearted Baoying know that now, with her identity and Zhao Yi's power and position, once there are too many connections, it will inevitably cause Yang Chongyuan's vigilance, although in the eyes of outsiders , Today's Li family and Yang family are in-laws and have inextricably linked relationships.

But in the face of power, brothers will still be against the wall, let alone a relationship maintained by marriage?It will only be more vulnerable.

Today's Yang family and Li family are in the same spirit, just because they have a common enemy - the Shangguan clan, not to mention that the Yang family holds military power. Even if the Li family has Li Zhang in power, they are born in a literati family. As for being a threat.

But if she marries Zhao Yi, with the 20 Anxi Dufu garrison in Zhao Yi's hands, coupled with the honor and popularity of the century-old Li family, it will undoubtedly be even more powerful. I am afraid that Yang Chongyuan will not even sleep. You have to put a knife under your pillow to be safe.

Li Sui is very clear that she has too many things to do at the moment. With her meager power as a county master, she can't compete with Yang Chongyuan, who holds the military power and holds the emperor hostage, so there is absolutely no reason to do this at this moment. If Yang Chongyuan becomes suspicious too soon, everything will become more difficult and difficult to deal with.

What's more, her relationship with Zhao Yi is still shallow now, even if she has the intention to win over and cooperate, she has to do it slowly.

More than 40 years of political career have told her that a little intolerance can lead to chaos and big plans.

All things to do, either do not move, or make plans and then move.

When Li Sui and Baoying talked in the second half of the night, she noticed that Baoying gradually lost her voice, Li Sui turned over and stopped talking, but she was not sleepy at all.

Until the end of the year, my sister will be giving birth. Now, under her coercion, although Sun Zhong has stopped her sister's medicines behind Yang Chongyuan and Emperor Yuancheng, the birth of this child in the future will inevitably make Yang Chongyuan and Emperor Yuancheng suspicious. If the two of them know the reason, it will undoubtedly be a disadvantage for her. What's more, she can keep this child for a while, but how can she keep it forever?
And sister, how can she hide this matter for the rest of her life?

All of this has long been like a bunch of threads, wrapped in innumerable strands, entangled in her heart, and she is uneasy for a day.

Seeing the sound of drums beating outside, it was already past the third watch without knowing it. Looking at the bright moonlight outside the bed curtain, Li Sui gradually closed her eyes, just when she was about to fall asleep.

However, a strange rustling sound gradually sounded beside her. Although it was extremely low, it still reached her ears. Li Sui opened her eyes alertly. Following the pouring moonlight, Baoying beside her remained motionless. , but gradually, she felt Baoying's body trembling slightly.

Just as she was about to put her hand on Baoying's shoulder, she finally heard clearly in the darkness.

It was Baoying's low cry--

Xu Shi was worried about waking her up. At this moment, Baoying was carrying her on her back, trying to keep her sobbing down, so low that if she wasn't still awake at the moment, she wouldn't be able to notice it at all.

Li Sui didn't make a sound, but his chest seemed to be blocked by something, stuffy and difficult to relieve.

In the previous life, Li Sui had never loved a person, never knew why someone would be hurt for love, and even more so did not know how painful and painful the parting was.

Therefore, seeing Baoying chatting and laughing with her tonight, she felt that Baoying might have given up everything.

But now she understands that Baoying is obviously afraid that she will worry about herself again, and that she doesn't want her to see her weak side, so she pretends to be complacent.

As for Baoying, those emotions became more and more repressed, and in such a silent late night, like a blocked spring, there was suddenly no obstruction, only pouring out, fully wrapping her, shackled, indulging in it, and then Can't hold back either.

At this moment, a hand touched her back warmly and softly, Baoying's body froze suddenly, but behind her came Li Sui's gentle and quiet voice, like a clear spring washing away in her heart. .

"Everyone in this world can't help themselves, sister is, you are, and so am I, but now sister has her own child, I have Aya, and you, and you have met When you arrive at such a beautiful person, you have a heart that treats him like you."

After that, Li Sui behind him quietly wrapped Baoying's shoulders and comforted her in a very low voice: "Baoying, no matter when, you still have me, and we have—"

Hearing these words, Baoying in the silence couldn't hold back any longer, she turned around and hugged Li Sui, as if she had cried all the suppressed things in her heart.

And Li Sui didn't speak anymore, just comforted her back quietly.

Although she doesn't understand love, she understands that at this moment, only by letting Baoying cry all the pain in her heart can she truly be relieved.
