Chang Anqing

Chapter 54
When night fell, a drizzle of rain gradually fell from Chang'an City. The rain rustled through the green leaves of the bamboo forest along with the night wind, and gently fell on the green screen. The silk lamp hanging above swayed leisurely.

In the quiet and deep night, the sharp-eyed maid saw someone walking towards the courtyard door not far away, and the halo from the two lanterns also followed from far to near, staying close. At that time, everyone saw that the backs of the people who came were involuntarily stunned, their heads were lowered almost involuntarily, and their bodies were also more humble.

"Captain—"

Amid the greetings from everyone, the stalwart Yang Chongyuan, dressed in a round-neck robe with indigo dark pattern and round flowers, could not see the happy and angry "um" sound. Although people were enveloped in this warm light, they still made people feel To the untouchable depth and oppression.

The next moment, the maid opened the soft curtain lightly and swiftly, and Yang Chongyuan walked in alone. As soon as he entered the house, the familiar scent of sandalwood came instantly. Yang Chongyuan paused at his feet, and then walked towards Li's house.

When he raised his hand to lift the curtain again, the inside of the house was more quiet than the outside. Mrs. Li sat alone under the window, and when she heard the sound, she turned her head to the side, and the eyes of the two met, but Yang Chongyuan was a little stunned.

At this moment, under the glazed lamp, Mrs. Li took off her hairpin bun, and wore a plain-colored silver thread robe with a pair of thumb-sized pearls around her ears. Compared with the dignified and steady, he actually saw a gentleness that he had not seen for a long time.

I remember that the Li family was only fourteen when he married him. Although the Li family had already learned the rules of the noble family, she was still an ignorant girl. At that time, she would call out to his husband, wash her hands and make soup. Waiting for him to return late, he will also hold hands and snuggle with him on the night of the Qixi Festival to watch a bright moon.

However, the years have passed, and I don't know when he stopped calling Li's nickname, and Li may not have called his husband for a long time.

With his own eyes, he watched Li's transformation step by step, becoming as happy and angry as him, enough to provoke the entire Yang family's internal affairs with one shoulder and take care of everything for him.However, the woman in his memory also disappeared from his mind little by little. Sometimes he even felt that Li was clearly lying beside him, but the strangeness made him feel like another person.

"Yinniang, bring tea for the captain."

Li's calm command sounded from his ears, and Yang Chongyuan silently pulled back thousands of thoughts. It seemed that Li's presence in front of him was not at all surprised by his arrival. Just like that, neither of them said a word, and they saw Yinniang walking away with kindness. He bowed to his side and then backed out.

Yang Chongyuan sat in the seat with his robe upright, and Mrs. Li glanced sideways at the wind and rain outside, and said unhurriedly, "In such a stormy night, you rarely come to me."

Yang Chongyuan didn't respond when he heard what Li's meant. During the silence, Yinniang softly lifted the curtain and came in, carefully serving tea to Yang Chongyuan's hand. Seeing Yang Chongyuan still sitting there, he didn't even raise his eyes, hesitantly looked at Yang Chongyuan. He glanced at Mrs. Lee.

"Go down."

Hearing Li's words, Yinniang paused worriedly for a moment, but remembering that Yang Chongyuan was by her side, she finally retreated in a kind voice, leaving only Yang Chongyuan and Li's in the huge house.

"Dalang and Saburo went to the southwest to defeat the rebels this time, and they will return to the court in a triumphant day."

Hearing Yang Chongyuan's words that seemed to be mentioned casually, Li Shi had a faint smile on his lips, but he didn't get to the bottom of his heart at all, but he replied hastily: "It is their luck to fight for the country, and this can be regarded as a great week for me. "

Yang Chongyuan was not surprised by Li's indifference, he just picked up the teacup calmly and took a sip, as if savoring it carefully.

"The two brothers are brave and good at fighting and work together. The saint is very happy. When he returns, the imperial edict will come down, and Saburo will be named the Duke of Yanmen County."

Noticing the slight change in Li's eyes, Yang Chongyuan continued as if he had not noticed it: "Darang, as the main general of the Southern Expedition this time, has repeatedly taken the lead and charged with his personal soldiers. Appreciate it, according to the will of the saint, Dalang will also be named Marquis of Courage."

The moment the words fell, Mrs. Li's expression finally became a wave that could no longer be concealed. Looking at Yang Chongyuan, who was calm and calm, as if chatting with her calmly, Mrs. Li's right hand was tightly clenched under her sleeve, and her breath was light. He smiled, but the surrounding atmosphere was instantly stagnant, like a spring under the ice.

"Very good."

Li's eyes turned to Yang Chongyuan, and he said unhurriedly, "Isn't this exactly what you want?"

This time, while Yang Jin was heading south, she originally wanted to decide on the marriage between Erlang and Aman, so even if Yang Jin returned, Erlang would have the unwavering backing support of the Li family, and it would be difficult for her to become a climate after all.

But now, seeing that Erlang and Aman's marriage is hopeless, Yang Jin has to be named a marquis, leaving her in a situation where there are wolves in the front and tigers in the back.Who is the initiator of all this, really needless to say.

After all, Yang Chongyuan didn't believe her or the Li family.

When she was used in the Li family, Yang Chongyuan personally went to the door, begged to marry her in front of everyone, and gave her a glorious wedding.Now when I don't need her Li family, I want to kick it away and abandon it like a shoe.In an attempt to support Cao's mother and son, and restrain them.

This is the way of their husband and wife.

Famous, real, but not the slightest affection.

"I already know what happened in Yuqingguan today. What the eldest Princess Qinghe said is not wrong. The matter of children depends on fate. Since Erlang has no such fate with Aman, it is useless to force it. It is better to meet Erlang again. To see a marriage that is in the right household is—"

"Right on the door?"

Before Yang Chongyuan could finish speaking, Mrs. Li raised her eyes and interrupted: "Who is the right one? Is it your scheming niece?"

Hearing the imperceptible ridicule in Li's words, Yang Chongyuan's face darkened, and he looked at Li's eyes firmly and said, "Hongying has not yet reached her age, but now she has broken her leg, how will she live in the rest of her life? How should we explain her parents who are far away in Hongnong? Don't you feel any guilt?"

Guilt?

Hearing this, Mrs. Li felt even more amused. She raised her head and looked at Yang Chongyuan and replied, "Have I ever treated her sister badly when she entered the manor? It was your good niece who repeatedly slandered and framed Aman. If it doesn't work, do another trick. Could it be that you don't know this? Did I force her to do this today?"

"You tampered with Ah Man's birthday and ignored the luck of my Yang family. Is this right?"

Having said that, Yang Chongyuan stood up suddenly, looked at Li's family indifferently, and said, "No matter what, Hongying is my Yang family's son and daughter, and my Yang Chongyuan's niece. Today, she thinks of my Yang family and blocks your plans. , there is nothing wrong with that."

"As for Erlang and Aman's marriage, no one needs to mention it in the future. In any case, I will never make a bet on my Yang family's hundred-year luck."

After all, Yang Chongyuan didn't want to stay any longer, turned around and strode out.

At this moment, Mrs. Li suddenly said slowly: "I have asked Zhenren Zhang to read the eight characters of Erlang and Baoying today, and the real person said that they are very consistent. I will repair a book tomorrow and deliver this happy event to Hongnong. Conclude this good relationship, and then you will be considered the right match as you said."

Yang Chongyuan took a step when he heard the sound, and turned his head to look at the unpredictable Li family, but he didn't say a word, he just violently opened the soft curtain and went back.
