Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 803
The night was indeed very deep, and at this time, except for the soldiers on patrol, there were few people walking around in the fort.

The wind and snow that had stopped for a while became stronger at this time, the cold wind howled, the snowflakes condensed like velvet, and the field of vision was white, but there was not much snow on the ground.This is also because the heating technology was unfamiliar during the renovation of the fortress, and the sealing and heat preservation effect was not very good, resulting in the leakage of hot air.

The second half of the fortress was originally built for the residence of the soldiers' families.If the Huainan Army is not highly prepared for combat or dispatched to fight abroad, family members are not prohibited from accompanying the army.However, due to the arrival of Shen Zhezi, this place was enlisted as the temporary residence of Princess Yijia and his party. The original soldiers and family members had withdrawn to Shouchun City during the daytime, so only the princess and her accompanying family members lived in the inner castle. And the palace people rewarded by the empress dowager.

In fact, in order to welcome the arrival of the princess, Shen Zhezi also made some preparations here.Naturally, he would not do evil things such as robbing people's daughters, and if he intentionally revealed that he wanted to choose a group of maidservants to serve the princess, all the families in the realm became busy, and there were even many families who directly sent their own daughters in. Whether it is really just for cleaning and dispatching, then everyone knows.

Luo Xue in the afternoon could no longer rush back to Shouchun City directly, so these maidservants were also picked up from the city and sent here, nearly a hundred of them.In addition to the hundreds of people accompanying the princess, there are only twenty or thirty houses in the inner castle, and it is almost difficult to settle them down.

There is a single large heating furnace in the inner fort, and all the connected houses are full of heat.Earlier, there were women from various families of the Xiangzong clan here to greet the princess, and the scene became even more chaotic. After those people withdrew, the courtyard returned to a little quiet.The palace people were all exhausted from the journey, except for the dozen or so people kept by the princess, the rest all entered the room to rest.

The room where the princess lived was originally an ordinary house in the garrison, so it was not luxurious, but clean.Soon after the princess's arrival, she became depressed and slept in the inner room.In the outer room, several maids also put their hands on their foreheads, yawning again and again.

In a corner behind the screen in the room, there are several elderly attendant women who are whispering.

"These stupid women really think that they can stretch their legs when they reach the boundary, and sleep peacefully! I don't see those women standing in groups in the court, all of them stare at each other with wide eyes..."

The person who spoke was a female history surnamed Zhou who married the princess in the early years. Her son is also worshiping the Shen family as a disciple.

On the other side is a charming young woman who covered her mouth and yawned. She was also the Yunzhi lady who followed the princess out of the palace in the early years, and now she has already promised Jialing Renqiu to be her successor.Hearing what Zhou Nushi said, Lady Yunzhi couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't be scary, my lady. We have never come here from this kind of business. The son-in-law and the princess are accompanied by young people. We will see each other along the way." Come on, how has there ever been a case of this kind of right and wrong?"

Zhou Nushi laughed after hearing the words: "I have never been a person who talks right and wrong, and you are not ignorant, Mrs. Yunzhi. But look at those shackle ladies in front of the court. Light white, it feels stiff when you bend down and look down. If you don’t say anything, you don’t know that there is always a hot soup pot in front of the corridor, so how can you have a useful posture? Our mansion is now in the south and north, who wants to get close ?Even if there is only a little bit of hope, it is enough to throw out one's own flesh and blood for a last time. In the past, in Jiangdong, each family always knew what to do, but after passing Jiang, a place where there is little knowledge of the king's teachings, the scruples will naturally be less... "

"Nv Shi Zhou said so, I don't want to argue with you. But the two young masters of our family are really examples of loving couples in the world. The master is a stalwart husband who has the king's life and the people in his heart, and has never cared about such deeds. The master's family Prominent, but not in recent years, if the master has these interests, why is he limited to the north and south? Apart from other things, you can see how rich Erlang's curtains are in Beppu. It’s not casually accepting new ideas, and the family members have learned a lot, so it’s not that they don’t change after repeated lessons!”

Lady Yunzhi said with a smile: "In the final analysis, it has nothing to do with north and south, and it has nothing to do with fortune. In the final analysis, our lord has a noble character, how can we allow ordinary ladies to be lightly stained."

"This has nothing to do with whether you are noble or not. The servant Xie who is accompanying me this time is also a first-class talent in Jiangbiao. Who dares to say that he is not a noble person, but he is also very interesting. You can see something along the way."

Zhou Nushi counted on her fingers again, and directly named Xie Shang who came with him.Xie Shang is indeed a good person in many ways, his family background, character, and interest are all impressive, but he is indeed a little indulgent in private matters.This time the empress dowager rewarded so many palace officials, of course it is impossible to just serve the princess, part of it is also used to reward Huainan's meritorious soldiers.Along the way, Xie Shang has already selected some under the guise of his position.These are also trivial matters of personal morality, not worth mentioning.

"The word "seriousness" is the most feared thing in the world. Our lord is the natural choice in this world. The reputation and family background are rarely comparable. Naturally, there will be too many people who want to use this way to make connections. So I will tell you later These stupid ladies, guard the curtain door, don't accidentally disturb the master!"

"cough!"

Mrs. Cui Ling, who had been sitting by the side without interrupting the discussion, suddenly coughed lightly and raised her hand to knock on the desk. At this time, several women who were sitting and chatting around realized that there was a figure shaking behind the screen, and the sound of the ring was ringing. The sleeping princess turned out to be awake.

Several women glanced at each other, they were all a little apprehensive, they hurriedly got up, picked up their thick velvet coats and hurried up.

After sleeping lightly for nearly two hours, Princess Xingnan's pretty face was slightly flushed, and after she walked out of the inner room, palace servants rushed to bring warm tea, spit pots and so on to stand on both sides.At that time, Nu Shi carefully wrapped the fur clothes around the princess, and seeing the maids in the corridor hurried over and wanted to enter the room to serve, she couldn't help frowning even more, and signaled the palace staff to block these people from the door.

After asking about the time, Princess Xingnan waved her hands to let the palace people go down to rest, while she sat in front of the screen, staring at the candles on the table in a daze.

After everyone else retreated, Mrs. Cui Ling, who was sitting on the other side, frequently glanced at the princess's expression. After a while, she mustered up the courage and whispered: "Princess, I don't believe what Zhou Nushi said just now. Of... the lord, the lord will never..."

"Miss Aling, what did you say?"

Princess Xingnan turned her head and looked at Mrs. Cui Ling in surprise. After a while, she realized: "Oh, you mean those women outside?"

Seeing the princess's reaction, Mrs. Cui Ling couldn't help but find it difficult to answer. She couldn't see whether the princess was not worried or pretended to be calm, so she lowered her head and twirled the corner of her clothes with her fingers.

After being interrupted by Mrs. Cui Ling, Princess Xingnan's eyes came back to life again, and she pointed at the group of Yingying and Yanyan standing in the corridor and said with a smile: "This is just a very common thing, I miss him in my heart and care about him." What do these idlers do. We have been husband and wife since we were young, how could I not know what kind of person he is, if it wasn't for the fact that I am going to enter the town this time, he wouldn't be in the mood to do these idle things. "

While speaking, a maid outside the door hurried to the door, whispering excitedly: "The Lord, the Lord is here!"

After hearing this, Princess Xingnan's delicate cheeks became even more radiant. Dang even stood up, pulled up the hood on the fur coat and put it on her head, then walked out of the room and stood in front of the corridor.

At this time, there were nearly fifty or sixty maids prepared by the Huainan Neishi Mansion standing under the corridor, because there were earth dragons passing through the corridor, so they didn't feel the cold.Although most of them don't understand court etiquette, they also understand the principle of avoiding the presence of His Holiness. When they see the princess walking out of the room, they all retreat to a distance of more than ten feet, not daring to approach.There were also many people who stood on tiptoe and looked up curiously, wanting to see what kind of woman would be suitable for Marquis Shen.

"Shen Hou, Shen Hou is here!"

A low cry from a woman suddenly came from another side corridor, so the maids in the corridor all turned their heads to look at the gate of the inner castle.Although most of them were locals from Huainan, to be honest, they really had no chance to meet Marquis Shen.Even if he was selected into the Neishi Mansion earlier and waited to be picked up, such matters would be handled by the subordinates of the mansion, and Shen Zhezi would not come forward in person no matter how free he was.Therefore, the vast majority of people only heard of the name of Shen Hou who shocked Huainan, even if they saw it, they could only look at it from a distance, and they couldn't see it clearly.

At this time, the wind and snow became more and more severe, and snowflakes as big as goose feathers were even drawn into the corridor. Although the inner castle was brightly lit, the field of vision was really not wide, and all that could be seen was white, sparkling snowflakes dancing.

Finally, a tall and straight figure appeared in the field of vision, and the black cloak was a bit hazy against the flying snowflakes.Under the hood, a small golden silk crown is looming, and the two strands of hanging hair on the sideburns are rolled up by the night wind. The maids who are looking forward to the porch need to look carefully to see the handsome faces through the flying snowflakes. A corner of the clothes was blown away by the wind, and the jade belt was wearing a heavy command talisman, which held down the brocade robe and kept it in place.The buckskin boots stepped on the ground, making steady but slightly hasty footsteps.

Even if no other factors were involved, Shen Zhezi walked forward with a jade staff in his hand, describing his demeanor as tall, straight and elegant.Snowflakes danced in the sky, the cloak fluttered lightly, and the belt of the robe trembled lightly, adding a kind of outstanding temperament.Compared with the solemnity and majesty of the military uniform, at this time he is dressed in simple clothes, brocade robes and wide cloaks, his steps are vigorous and broad, and his handsome posture attracts attention.

"This, this is Marquis Shen?"

At this time, among the maids watching from the corridor, many of them couldn't help murmuring, with a hint of uncertainty in their tone.This increasingly real, handsome and elegant gentleman in the field of vision is more like a good spouse who may have existed in this world before, and appeared in front of them in a beautiful and dreamy way in their fantasies. It can't be connected with the mighty commander in charge of killing thousands of armies and ruling the life and death of all people in their impression.

"This is Marquis Shen!"

Affirmative murmurs sounded again from the watching crowd, and then some people lowered their heads shyly, not daring to look directly at the handsome figure who was getting closer.The female history of Zhou did not misunderstand them. In fact, after they were selected into the Neishi Palace, the parents of the family told them more than once to seize this opportunity.It would be a great fortune for them to be able to serve Shen Hou's court so closely.

Shen Zhezi rushed all the way into the castle, and was stunned for a moment when he saw the scene of the group of sisters standing side by side in the corridor, but after turning his gaze around the corridor for a week, he soon spotted the figure wrapped in thick fur , So he smiled and quickened his feet and walked up.But when he walked a few feet away from the corridor, Princess Xingnan had already run out from the corridor, and her delicate body lightly fell into his arms.

"Be careful of the wind and snow!"

At this time in the inner castle, Shen Zhezi behaved casually, handing the jade stick to the palace man who was chasing up, and covering the princess's hood that was blown off by the night wind on her head, wrapping the cloak around the girl into the arms.This girl nestled deep in Shen Zhezi's arms, her eyeliner curved into a crescent moon, and there were many demonstrators looking back at the corridor, and it seemed that she didn't have any grudges against those who coveted her husband.

The wait-and-see maids in the corridor saw Shen Hou's figure disappearing through the door, and they couldn't take their eyes back slowly.After a while, Mrs. Cui Ling walked out of the room, with a trace of joy and pride on her face, she said: "Marquis Shen has an order, the night is windy, snowy and cold, so you don't need to stay and listen, you all retreat and go to bed."

After another quarter of an hour, the lingering figures in the corridor gradually dispersed, feeling full of loss and regret. I was lucky enough to see them, but I didn't have the chance to attract them, which added a bit of self-pity in this snowy night.

　Is there such a hint of feminine taste?In fact, I am not very keen on writing about the protagonist's demeanor. After all, they all belong to the category of good looks. Many adjectives have a common sense of substitution, and it is inevitable to feel shy when writing them.
