The little daughter-in-law of the palace

Chapter 142 What Did You Call Her? (1)
Imperial City, Divine Crossbow Guards.

Unlike the Jinwu Guard Habayashi Guard and other guards who guarded the emperor's imperial city, the Divine Crossbow Guards usually have relatively free time as long as the emperor is not out of the palace, except for training.Cheng Yu made great achievements in Fuzhou last year. Although he was only twenty, he had already been promoted to the fourth-rank commander. He didn't even have to train soldiers. He went to the palace early and sat in the ice room to deal with trivial matters.

Chen Shuo came in from the outside, saw him sitting at the desk reading a book, and said in a low voice, "Second Master, Cousin Girl and the others have already set off, Master Hou led several young masters to escort him around."

Cheng Yu nodded, still staring at the book in his hand, and calmly ordered: "Send two people to secretly protect their siblings, and let me know if there is any news."

Chen Shuo should be, backed out.

Only myself was left in the room, and Cheng Yu's hand turning over the book slowly stopped. After a while, he took out a peach-pink sachet from his arms, and smelled it lightly, because he had been away from her for too long, and he had long since lost the familiarity with her. aroma.

Cheng Yu lowered his eyes, staring at the sachet in a daze.

He hadn't seen her for a month.For a month, I thought about it every day and every moment, but her appearance gradually became blurred, as if she was about to lose her memory.I took the same carriage with her in Hangzhou, rescued her ashore and carried her back on the way, Tianjin forced her to agree to pretend to be a cousin, and when I arrived in the capital, I ate the food she made, hugged and kissed her, because it had become so unreal because we hadn’t seen each other for so long , as if there is no girl named Hanzhu in the world, but he had a dream.

So he envied Zhou Wenjia, decided to forget about it, and went away, unlike him, he couldn't stay away without provoking him.

He brought her to the capital, and he had to guard her.

Jiuhua Temple, Yunyang Houfu rented a whole three-entry house halfway up the mountain. For the next 20 days, the three brothers Chu Yuan, Chu Huai, and Chu Hong lived in the front yard, and the old lady led Chu Qiang to live in the second upper room. , the Hanzhu siblings and Chu Rong each share a small courtyard, and the women and maids who come with them live in the back.The eldest wife and the third wife only had to go back after staying in the temple for two nights, so they naturally lived with their daughter for these two nights.

As soon as they moved in, all the rooms had to be tidied up. Chu Qing led the Hanzhu siblings to their Dongkua courtyard.

The yard is not big, but it is quieter. In the yard, there is an old pagoda tree as thick as three people hugging each other, casting a cool green shade. Chu Qing asked the servant girl to move the wicker chair and put it outside. He and his children enjoyed the cool air together.

"Does Ah Xun like this place?" Chu Qing tied a piece of watermelon with a bamboo stick and fed it to his son.

Ah Xun turned his little head to look around, and heard the birds chirping cheerfully in the woods outside, nodded and said, "I like it, I will catch the birds with a slingshot." There are not so many trees at home, nor are there so many birds.

"Then you don't want to be black?" Chu Qing asked with a smile, holding his son's chubby hand and said, "Why don't Ah Xun go back with Daddy later?"

Ah Xun wanted to be black, but he preferred to be with his sister, so he climbed down from his father's lap unhappily, ran to her sister, first hugged her, then turned his head and said, "I won't go back." .”

Chu Qing laughed and said: "If you don't go back, then Daddy will take you to hunt, will you go? There are pheasants on this mountain. Haven't Ah Xun seen it?"

Ah Xun couldn't help getting out of her sister's arms, looked at the mountain and asked, "What is a pheasant?" His big clear and pure eyes were full of curiosity.

Chu Qing got up, picked up his son, and strode out, "Daddy will take you to see it!"

Ah Xun excitedly turned her head and called to her sister: "My sister is going too!"

Hanzhu stood up from the chair, took two steps outside, and said with a smile, "Sister is tired, Ah Xun will go with Daddy, sister is waiting to see the pheasant that Ah Xun caught."

Ah Xun looked at her sister and turned around with a smile.

After seeing off people, Hanzhu went back to the house. Ruyi had already led the little maid to tidy up the room. The windows were bright and clean. From the window, you could see the eaves of the temple corridor hidden among the green trees.Although the scenery is beautiful, Hanzhu is no longer in the good mood she had when she promised Chu Qiang to come to the mountain, she just sat in front of the window blankly, her mind was full of what Chu Qing told her yesterday evening.

Someone wanted to harm her and Ah Xun, but Chu Qing didn't tell her who it was, and only asked her to pretend she didn't know anything, and then, she believed him and acted according to his orders.

Should I trust Chu Qing?

Hanzhu didn't know, but she didn't believe it, so what could she do?Before the time came, Chu Qing did not allow her to tell Ruyi. If she did, Ruyi would find a way to inform Cheng Yu. If Chu Qing found out, what would Chu Qing think?Do you think your daughter trusts her cousin more, or do you think she and Cheng Yu often pass messages through these two maids?
Neither is right.

And Cheng Yu, she hasn't seen him for a month.Did he avoid her on purpose, or did he forget that intimacy long ago, and then he didn't come over because he didn't think it was necessary to see her?Since Chu Qing guaranteed that nothing would happen to her and A Xun, she went to tell Cheng Yu that Cheng Yu would be busy for nothing, would she blame her for unnecessary actions?
"Miss, is something on your mind?" Ruyi asked doubtfully when she came back from making tea and saw her sitting there in a daze.

Hanzhu came back to her senses, shook her head, and asked her to bring a scroll of scriptures.

Ruyi frowned secretly, and asked again with concern, but was perfunctory by Hanzhu, Ruyi had no choice but to bring the scriptures over, Hanzhu was reading, and she accompanied her.

About half an hour later, Chu Qing and the others came back, and sent a maid to invite her over to the old lady in the main courtyard.Hanzhu put down the scriptures, put away the complicated thoughts in her heart, and left with a smile.Just after entering the yard, I saw everyone in the Chu family was there. Two pheasants with bright feathers were tied to the open space in front of the main house, cooing and struggling with their wings flapping from time to time.

"Sister, Daddy caught the pheasant!" Standing beside Chu Qing, Ah Xun said excitedly when he saw his sister, pointing at the prey.

Hanzhu's eyes fell on a little boy wearing coarse clothes beside him, his face was fair and clean, and he seemed to be about the same age as Ah Xun.

Seeing her sister looking at her new playmate, Ah Xun grabbed the boy and introduced him to her sister, "His name is Shi Shi, and his father is a woodcutter and lives under the mountain. I asked him to play with me."

He couldn't speak clearly, Chu Qing smiled and said to his daughter: "Ah Xun liked him, so I brought him back. During the time you are in the temple, let Shitou play with Ah Xun. They are all boys." Children, it is better to play together, so as not to cling to you every day, like a little girl."

Ah Xun didn't understand the meaning of these words, Chu Huai deliberately teased him, "Daddy said Ah Xun looks like a little girl!"

Ah Xun understood this time, pouted and said, "I'm a man!"
