Chang'an is good

Hearing the servant's voice, Chang Kuo's hairs immediately stood up, and he entered the top alert state.

He looked around the mourning hall subconsciously, as if looking for a place to hide. The only option seemed to be the coffin parked in the hall, but that was too offensive and disrespectful. Repenting in my heart, I recited Amitabha Buddha.

So he took his daughter's arm and walked out, urging: "Go, father has something to discuss with you."

However, hurrying quickly, when he left the mourning hall and stepped down the stone steps, he bumped into the mother and daughter of Princess Xuan'an head-on.

Chang Kuo paused, his expression froze on his face.

The eldest princess looked arrogantly and lazyly, and looked him over from head to toe slowly.

Chang Kuo was annoyed by her look, this annoyance was on his face, he frowned, but he didn't speak.

The Eldest Princess didn't intend to speak either, the two seemed to be silently adhering to a certain tacit rule - whoever speaks first loses.

Seeing this situation, Chang Suining said something in his heart.

three years old...

These two people add together, can't be more.

Break it apart and divide it into one point, each person is one and a half years old.

There were two one-and-a-half-year-olds here, so the heavy responsibility of speaking fell on her and Li Tong as a matter of course.

"His Royal Highness, Sister Tongtong."

"I've seen General Chang." Li Tong saluted Chang Kuo, then looked at Chang Suining: "Sister Chang is going back?"

Chang Suining nodded to her.

"Ningning, wait a minute." The Eldest Princess also looked at Chang Suining, with a gentle expression: "Don't rush back, wait for me to go in and burn incense, I just have something to say to you."

Chang Suining naturally nodded in response.

The eldest princess then took Li Tong to the mourning hall to express her condolences.

"Let's go." Chang Kuo pulled his daughter up.

Chang Sui Ning did not move: "...we have agreed to wait for His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess to come out."

"What are you waiting for her to do? What serious business can she have!" Chang Kuo blew into his ears without any scruples, "This person is not a good person, so avoid dealing with her in the future, so as not to be led astray!"

Chang Suining looked at him, lowered his voice, and asked curiously: "This is my real aunt, daddy knows better than me?"

Chang Kuo's expression froze...and he forgot about this relationship for a moment!
The outsider was himself!
"Then I'll go...!" He let go of His Royal Highness, and wanted to leave on his own.

Instead, he was grabbed by Chang Suining.

Chang Suining dragged him to the side corridor, combined with Chang Kuo's expression, he seemed to be pulling a stubborn cow with a rope in his hand.

Going down the corridor, Chang Suining looked at the stubborn bull: "Princess Eldest Princess personally led troops to support Hezhou this time, and it was of great help. Dad is so rude to avoid it?"

Chang Kuo is straightforward: "She is helping Hezhou, and she is also thinking of Xuanzhou for her. What does it have to do with me, Chang Kuo?"

Didn't that woman say it all? You have to watch your neighbors when you beat a dog!

Anyway, he is not the beaten dog in her mouth!

"But I invited him here." Chang Suining looked at him, "Even if you don't mention this, he helped save brother before."

"That's not called helping! Whoever made it her own—" Chang Kuo said, his voice stopped abruptly for a moment, and then said: "Who made her troublesome by herself, and I didn't ask her for help!"

Chang Suining was speechless for a moment, and said: "Father, if you continue to make trouble for no reason, I can't help but think about it."

"What are you thinking!" Chang Kuo's expression changed for a while: "I just can't get along with her... I don't get along with her, and I don't talk to her!"

"You still know her horoscope?" Chang Suining stared at him: "Why, did you have sex secretly?"

"...!" Chang Kuo's expression distorted for a moment: "What are the words that can't be hit!"

"I don't know what is wrong with Father and the Eldest Princess, but it is always a fact to be helped by others. If Father is like this, it will make people laugh." Chang Suining said helplessly: "I will also lose face if I do this."

Chang Kuo has a complicated expression.

As a subordinate, if you make the master lose face, isn't that disloyal and unrighteous?How can such a subordinate still want it?
"And didn't you agree to plan for the future?" Chang Suining said again: "For a person as important as the eldest princess, Dad doesn't say flattery, but it's not appropriate to refuse to make enemies, right?"

Chang Kuo clenched his fist again and swallowed those "unfaithful and unrighteous" words.

At this moment, Princess Xuan'an had come out of the mourning hall, she looked down the corridor and saw that Chang Kuo was still there, she immediately looked away, walked gracefully and gracefully.

"Your Highness." Chang Suining saluted.

Chang Kuo looked sideways to the outside of the corridor.

The Eldest Princess nodded, and asked gently: "Is the injury better?"

"It's much better, it's just a skin trauma." Chang Suining said, "Thanks to His Highness personally coming to help, otherwise Hezhou would have fallen into Xu Zhengye's hands."

The words of thank you have been said many times in the past two days, but at this moment, I always need to find something to talk about... After all, her existence at the moment is just one part of the silent rivalry between the two of them.

The Eldest Princess made this trip to express her condolences, but most likely she just picked the right time to meet her by chance.

As for "talking to her if you have something to say", it is clear that the drunkard's intention is not to drink.

"That's not right." Facing Chang Suining's words of nothing to say, the eldest princess also took it seriously: "If he hadn't learned of the Xuanzhou military movement, Xu Zhengye would not have rushed here in person that day, if he hadn't Come, there will be no suspense in that battle, you have already won."

Chang Suining: "But if His Royal Highness does not come forward, Xu Zhengye will not easily give up Hezhou and retreat to Jiangning."

"But the reason why I can come is because of your letter." The eldest princess looked at the girl in front of her with sincere praise in her eyes: "This credit is yours anyway... you child, little It is really remarkable to have such thorough planning at such a young age, and to be so sensible and righteous."

Chang Sui Ning brazenly accepted the compliment, and very self-aware to bridge the gap: "...It's all because of Dad's good teaching."

After the bridge was built, the eldest princess looked at Chang Kuo logically.

Aware of that line of sight, Chang Kuo still looked out of the corridor, but revealed a bit of silent complacency: "My daughter is born."

The eldest princess: "That's right, it can only be born, and it doesn't look like it can be taught by the elders in the family."

Hearing this, Chang Kuo turned to look at her: "What do you mean?"

Insinuating that his father can't teach such a good daughter, right?
The eldest princess asked leisurely: "What can I mean? I just echoed your words, but there is something wrong?"

Chang Kuo looked annoyed.

The eldest princess glanced at him: "Take it easy, lest you faint from anger again, it's not worth it."

Chang Kuo pointed at her: "You..."

"Ah..." Li Tong suddenly made a sudden sound, and hurriedly said to Chang Suining: "Sister Chang, I suddenly remembered that I have something to show you!"

Saying that, he pulled Chang Suining and left the place of right and wrong.

After leaving the corridor, Li Tong groped around in his sleeves, but he couldn't find anything.

Chang Suining began to feel embarrassed for her.

Li Tong was anxious, turned his eyes, stretched out his hand to grab the snow, rubbed it hastily in his hand, and held it to Chang Suining with a smile: "Sister Chang, look at the little rabbit I pinched for you, do you like it?"

Chang Suining took it: "...I like it."

In the corridor over there, there was a faint sound of quarreling.

After hearing this, Li Tong hurriedly said: "Sister Chang, don't worry, I used to hear from Mother Chuanzhu who was beside my mother that my mother and General Chang had a deep friendship, but they often quarreled!"

Not thinking it strange, he smiled and said, "It's just the so-called quarrel at the head of the bed and the end of the bed..."

As he spoke, his voice paused.

He changed his words again: "Hey, I mean, beating is kissing or scolding..."

So far, another meal.

She vividly explained why the mouth runs ahead and the brain chases behind.

And the brain is very difficult to chase.

Looking at each other, Chang Sui Ning was silent, Li Tong's mouth trembled, and he smiled awkwardly: "...In short, they are all sharp-mouthed and tofu-hearted, so it's okay to quarrel."

Chang Suining nodded: "...Understood."

Going on, this elder sister's mouth and brain will always be forced to collapse and go on strike.

Over there, Chang Kuo didn't want the juniors to hear what they shouldn't hear, so he dragged Princess Xuan'an to speak further away.

When Chang Kuo stopped, the Eldest Princess shook off his hand at the right time, and angrily said, "What are you trying to do!"

"I'd like to ask you what you want to do!" Chang Kuo said angrily, "You abducted my two sons and daughters while I was not in the capital, and now you have detained my son... Li Shu, you backtracked on what you said and took advantage of others. If you are in danger, you can know what is propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame!"

"I don't know." The eldest princess smiled half-smile: "You first met me?"

Chang Kuo blushed with anger: "...the most sinful thing in my life is getting to know you!"

"Why, is it wrong for me to send someone to rescue him in Beijing? Or is it wrong for me to take him to Xuanzhou to recover from his injuries?" The eldest princess firmly gained the emotional upper hand: "I am a good person with good intentions and good deeds."

"Good man?" Chang Kuo laughed angrily: "Isn't that right, going to the temple to burn incense is just for fun, if you really want to worship Buddha, you have to see you... Good man, you are really a good man who is struck by lightning!"

The Eldest Princess didn't care about his words at all, she even thought about playing with the winter plum covered with snow.

Chang Kuo lowered his voice and became even more angry: "You were the one who threw the child to me without saying a word, and I managed to feed him up with shit and urine, but you wanted to pick up a ready-made child and snatch him away." In the past, I told you that there was no way!"

Seeing that he was so angry that he seemed about to pout, the eldest princess sighed and comforted her out of the thought of not letting the child lose his father too early: "When did I say that I would rob you? Look at you."

"Didn't I see that you were busy with the war, so I kept it for you temporarily? Such a big child, he will go back after recovering from his injuries in the future, can I still tie him up to prevent him from leaving?"

The snow on the branches of plum blossoms fell on Chang Kuo's shoulders, and she kindly raised her hand to brush it off for him.

Chang Kuo opened her hand, and backed away with a sulky face: "What are you pretending to do, you clearly want to attack him! Don't think I don't know about your dirty tricks!"

While talking and backing away, his limping foot tripped over a stone, his body swayed, and he nearly fell down.

The eldest princess quickly supported him.

The two looked at each other.

Together with Li Tong, Chang Suining, who "unintentionally" took a walk not far away to enjoy the plum blossoms, saw this scene, and couldn't help feeling in his heart-there are still so many good rocks in the world.

Chang Kuo threw the man away, dragged his injured leg, and sat limping on a boulder.

The Eldest Princess took out something from her sleeve and threw it at him.

Chang Kuo caught it, saw it was a medicine bottle, and asked knowingly, "What kind of broken thing!"

"Arsenic!" The eldest princess was also angry: "It will save you trouble if you are poisoned to death!"

Chang Kuo sneered, poured out a few pills and swallowed them hard: "If you don't die from the poison, I'll count you as incompetent!"

The Eldest Princess squinted at him, and this time she really smiled: "You're still so old, but you still have such a dog temper..."

Chang Kuo glared at her, as if he didn't bother to pay attention to her, and sat there without talking.

Shortly after swallowing the pill, the pain in the leg was relieved.

The eldest princess took two steps closer: "Why didn't you talk? Did you die of poison?"

Chang Kuo raised his eyes to look at her, and snorted coldly, "He's not dead yet!"

"Speak well if you're not dead." The Eldest Princess squeezed over and sat down next to him.

Chang Kuo frowned and moved aside, turning his face away from her.

"Since you are going back to Shouzhou in the future, you should know that it is safest to keep Sui'an with me." The eldest princess's voice eased: "The doctor said that his injury should be taken care of. If he stays What kind of sequelae, but it is a matter of a lifetime, and it will be too late for you to regret it."

Chang Kuo frowned, and after a long time, he compromised and said, "It's okay to let you stay there temporarily, and it will be cheaper for you for a few days, but you have to swear to me that you are not allowed to say anything you shouldn't say to him!"

"Okay, I swear, I will never bring up the past with him before we have an agreement with you." The eldest princess was helpless, but also a little melancholy. It was her fault that happened back then, and she herself really didn't know how to deal with the child. Open that mouth.

Chang Kuo was dissatisfied: "When you mention it verbally, what is it called swearing, you swear a poisonous oath to me!"

The eldest princess frowned and looked at him: "...Your surname is Chang, you must be sick!"

"..."

So they quarreled again.

……

This night, the moonlight and snow light are both clear.

Two days later, as the snow melted, Hezhou City showed its original appearance again.

This day is the day when Yuncishi's father and son were buried.

The coffin was buried, amidst the sound of crying, and when it was about to be buried, there was a sudden commotion among the crowd.

Mrs. Lou with a snow-white complexion wanted to bump into the tombstone, and wanted to be buried here with her husband.

Chang Suining and Lady Shepherd's Purse stopped her.

"...I made an oath that I will follow the Lord after I finish my duty." Madam Lou burst into tears, "Now it's time to fulfill my promise."

Everyone gathered around to persuade.

Yun Gui was frightened, cried and rushed forward to hug his mother, yelling "A Niang" heartbreakingly.

Mrs. Lou burst into tears.

This wave is not over, there are noisy voices over there, and troubles broke out again.

A [-] or [-]-year-old girl covered in snow was holding Lord Yun Dalang's spiritual tablet, and regardless of persuasion, she jumped into the tomb and lay on the coffin of Lord Yun Dalang.

Mrs. Lou was shocked, and with the support of Mrs. Shepherd's Purse, she quickly walked over: "...Xin'er, what are you doing!"

The girl's name is Huoxing, and she is the wife of her eldest son who has never been married. She wanted to annul the marriage when her eldest son passed away, but this girl refused to obey no matter what. The eldest son's widow.

Huoxing has a resolute personality. When defending the city this time, she was also in the Detachment of Women's Army. At this moment, she still has a wound on her forehead.

At this moment, she was lying upright on the coffin: "My daughter-in-law will also follow her husband!"

Mrs. Lou said anxiously: "How can this happen, get up quickly!"

"Mother is like this. If I don't follow, won't I appear to be inferior to my mother? My daughter-in-law is naturally competitive, how can she fall behind?" Huo Xin closed his eyes: "And if mother is gone, leave the daughter-in-law alone to clean up the governor's mansion What a mess, think about it, it would be better to die and worry about it!"

"You child..." Mrs. Lou couldn't laugh or cry.

Seeing this, Chang Suining said at the right time: "What Mrs. Yun said is not completely unreasonable. What Madam said just now is wrong. Hezhou City is waiting for prosperity. Mr. Erlang and Mr. Sanlang have lost their father and brother. How can they lose their mother again?" ? Madam's duties are far from fulfilled."

Mrs. Lou looked stunned.

Yun Hui walked over with red eyes and looked at his mother: "Mother can not listen to what other people say, but mother Chang has to listen to what Mrs. Chang said--my mother's life is hanging by a thread on the battlefield several times, and it is all because of Mrs. Chang's risk." Mother has already followed father several times, and now mother's life is given by her benefactor, how can she talk about committing suicide?"

Mrs. Lou burst into tears when she heard the words, and looked at Chang Suining.

"Madam can do many things." Chang Suining said, "After a hundred years, it won't be too late to get together with Governor Yun again."

After a lot of persuasion, Mrs. Lou finally nodded.

In fact...she also felt that she didn't have to die...

From time to time, especially after going through the gate of hell several times, I can better understand the meaning of life and death.

She is not afraid of death, but she is not afraid of living either—when she watched her husband's eldest son leave before her eyes, she was very afraid of living.

But I swore it before.

Everyone in town knows...

If she didn't die, wouldn't it appear that she, the governor's wife, was dishonest, greedy for life and afraid of death?

She was worried that someone would use this to make a fuss afterwards, so she just acted half-truth and half-false.

Mrs. Lou looked at her husband's tombstone with tears in her eyes—if her husband knew, would he laugh at her or praise her?
Huoxing quickly got up from the coffin, took Chang Suining's hand that was stretched out to her, and came up from the grave.

The eyes of the two met, Chang Suining and Huo Xin blinked, and Huo Xin also raised his eyebrows at her knowingly.

The next day, outside the Governor's Mansion, when Chang Suining was about to leave Hezhou City, Huo Xin held her hand tightly and refused to let go: "...the gate of Hezhou City is always open for Mrs. Chang, and Mrs. Chang remembers that often Come back and see."

Hearing his sister-in-law say what he wanted to say, Yun Hui stopped talking, and only said: "If there is something that can be useful to me, send someone a message at any time."

Chang Sui Ning nodded.

Mrs. Lou also repeatedly urged her to write from time to time.

Then, together with the people of Hezhou, they sent Chang Kuo and his daughter out of the city.

Behind Chang Kuo are the soldiers he brought with him. There were nearly [-] soldiers before, but now there are only a little over [-] soldiers left.

But Chang Suining had a few more people behind him.

They were several women, and the leader was the shepherd's purse lady with a machete pinned to her waist.

Last night, the three lady shepherd's purse came to Chang Suining, stated that they would follow suit, and begged Chang Suining to take them with them.

Women also have ambitions in their eyes. They have not yet had the opportunity to broaden their horizons. Their thoughts are naturally simple and unpolished, and what they say has nothing to do with righteousness. It is more about the desire to break free from the shackles and the desire to become stronger. They say ——"I heard that Mrs. Chang is going back to Shouzhou. We also want to follow Mrs. Chang and try what it's like for a woman to make contributions!"

Before going out this morning, Lady Shepherd's Purse waved her hands at her two sons who were already in their teens, and her husband who dared not speak out—

"Let's go, honestly wait at home for me to make contributions, and bring you chickens and dogs to heaven!"

On this day, the sun was very good, and we were on our way.

……

Today is also [-] words! (Looking at the word count statistics in the background, I already have an average of [-] words per day this month, and I have paid off the scattered debts.) The monthly pass will be emptied at the end of the month, please support my list with the tickets in your pockets, very much gratitude!
