Chapter 73 You Can Walk Sideways

Speaking of it, although the Jiedushi of Beiping is a third-rank official, it may not be worth anything to the super-ranking side-by-side palace, but for ordinary meritorious brothers who are usually on duty in the Forbidden Palace, this Jiedushi of Beiping However, it is also a big official of one side, especially the Beiping Mansion, which has a special status. In addition, the Beiping Jiedu envoy used by Qin Huai has a high gold content.

When referring to her father Qin Huaiyong, although Qin Zhe's tone was extremely flat, Qin Zhao could hear different emotions in his voice. Maybe it was her own strange life experience, and now she is inexplicably the same as the old man. Qin Zhao felt that he had become particularly sensitive to the reason why his brother, whom he had never met, went to a strange place.She felt that when Qin Zhe mentioned their father, there was a deliberately concealed hatred in his tone.

This made Qin Zhao affirm another three points of his speculation.

It's a pity that Qin Zhao didn't understand Qin Huaiyong's current situation, and Qin Zhe seemed to avoid it deliberately and didn't mention it.

As midsummer is slowly approaching, it is really hard to travel during the daytime. The group of people travels and travels, but travels in the morning and evening. During the day, they mostly rest at inns and post houses. They walked for three months during the two-month journey. When I arrived in Chang'an, the capital city, it was approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The autumn colors outside Chang'an City are perfect, the forests are all dyed, the green trees are winding, the branches of vegetables and fruits are full, and the wild flowers are numerous.The literati and gamers on the autumn outing, the sons and daughters are endless.

After entering the city gate, she will live in this bustling city for a long time.

Qin Zhao sighed.

Chang'an City under the sun seems to be a huge monster lying between the sky and the earth. The gates of the city are wide open and pedestrians are constantly coming and going, but to her, it is a strange place that can no longer be unfamiliar. Brother, he is still familiar to her.Even though she has always been a person who lifts weight lightly and is exceptionally calm, she can't help showing a little uneasiness at this time.

"Don't worry, Ah Zhao." Qin Zhe shook Qin Zhao's hand and gave a comforting smile, "In the future, there will be an older brother who will protect you. I dare not say that if you want the moon for the stars, my older brother can take it for you, but at least I can assure you that in Chang'an City, you can walk sideways. No one can bully you."

Damn, Qin Zhao couldn't help being secretly pleased, the so-called walking sideways, being a tyrant who bullies the market, isn't it all her dream in the past and present life?This cheap brother of my family has been considerate and considerate to her along the way, it is hard for him to be like an iceberg, but he can also make so many girl-controlling gestures, but he can gather everything, and there is no such thing as "you can walk sideways" stick to her heart.

"Brother, are you serious?" Qin Zhao's eyebrows and eyes brightened, as if he had been stimulanted.

Qin Zhe looked depressed.She loved him a lot along the way, and this girl was as listless as an autumn grass beaten by frost. Without thinking about this sentence, she immediately regained her spirits. It has been three months, and she has never seen her so energetic before. I should have known This sentence was like refreshing wine to her, didn't she just say it a long time ago?
Qin Zhe couldn't help but stretched out his hand and gave her a five-finger flick: "Finally, I heard you call brother, don't worry, just look at your energy at the moment, even if you want the moon and stars, brother will find a way to pick them for you." Come."

I knew this Yaguan was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

I was angry and funny in my heart, but at the same time, I breathed a sigh of relief.

So, it’s good, his sister is not a flower raised in a greenhouse, she can earn tens of thousands of households at a young age in such a desolate place in the northwest, even he has tried to understand her, and his knowledge and insights are not weak , and Yun Rui's true martial arts skills, such a sister, even without him, Qin Zhe, will still be able to live happily, and won't be bullied by anyone, right?

Mother, under Nine Springs, seeing Ah Zhao like this, I feel at ease.

The autumn sun was perfect, and because of Qin Zhe's promise, Qin Zhao's mood also brightened.

Someone once said that life is like rape, since you can't resist, just enjoy it.Since everything she is about to face is unavoidable, she should take all of this as her life experience.

Walking sideways in Chang'an City, this ideal seems to be quite good.

Huguo and Wangfu occupy almost half of Gaotou Street in Guanghuamen. A pair of stone lions outside the vermilion lacquer gate are majestic and majestic. The bright autumn sun shines in the sky, and the whole world seems to be covered with a layer of light.It made the pair of stone lions even more majestic.

The team of 200 people stopped outside the Prince's Mansion, attracting the attention of the few passers-by on the road.

Qin Zhe asked someone to come forward and knock on the door.

Qin Zhao secretly looked at Qin Zhe through the gap in the curtain of the carriage, and saw that his face was serious and his eyes were cold.For some reason, I felt a little uneasy.

She didn't ask any questions along the way.Thinking that Qin Zhe would always say something about their father and her, except for the side-by-side palace where they stopped today, about the Beiping Jiedu envoy's mansion, about that escape, about that graceful and beautiful lady, but Qin Zhe But no one said anything
In this kind of weather, it was after noon, when the masters of the mansion were taking a nap, someone knocked on the gate of the palace. You must know that not everyone can enter the gate of the palace.

The concierge came out of the room cursing, stepped forward and opened the door, and saw hundreds of people in armor standing neatly in front of the door, all of them as solemn as water, he was shocked and froze. There was half a ring.But after all, he is the concierge of the Wangfu, and he has seen some things in the world. When he realized it, his face turned cold, and he said to the sergeant who knocked on the door: "I don't know what's the matter for you to come and shoulder the Wangfu?"

"The eldest son of the family, General Qin Zhe, returned to the capital with his fourth wife. Please see the old concubine and the prince when you return to the mansion."

A soldier stepped forward to answer.

"Elder... Eldest Young Master?" The porter couldn't help but cast a glance at the young general who was at the front of the team riding on a tall horse. Seeing that his eyebrows and eyes were like a mold of Erlang Qin Huaiyong, he believed it a little.But didn't Xiao Langjun and Si Niangzi say that they had been kidnapped and disappeared a few years ago?Why did he suddenly appear and become a general?Could it be that the little girl he was holding was the Fourth Lady, Zhaoniang?

Qin Zhe saw the concierge looking at him in surprise, with a little smile on his face, and said to the concierge, "Why don't you go and report to the prince and the old concubine?"

"Yes, yes, sir, wait a moment, the villain will go now."

The concierge was so frightened that he even forgot to close the door of the mansion and stumbled away all the way.

Qin Zhe jumped off the horse, raised the curtain of the carriage, stretched out his hand to Qin Zhao, and said with a smile, "Ah Zhao, we're home."

Family?
Qin Zhe rubbed the curious Qin Zhao's head, and with a strange smile, said in a deep voice: "This is our home, the Palace of Huguo and Shoulder, we are the children and grandchildren of the Palace of Huguo, the current King of Huguo It is our uncle and aunt, and the concubine is the current daughter, Princess Jinyang. My grandfather has passed away for several years, and our grandmother, the old concubine, is still alive. We... are the children of the second wife."

Qin Zhao just nodded.Qin Zhe had already said these words to her when he was on the road, now Qin Zhe said these words solemnly, why?Qin Zhao felt strange.

In fact, she was not without shock.Before Yun Rui told her the truth, she always thought that the so-called home should be the North Jiedu Mansion that she heard from the servant girl when she woke up in the hospital bed. Zhe turned out to be a descendant of the palace.Even if Qin Zhe had introduced everything about the Princely Mansion to her on the road, in her heart, she didn't have much idea about this palace. She really didn't know it until now when she was standing in front of the vermilion-painted and golden-nailed gate of the palace. She really realized that she was actually a descendant of this pampered and grand prince's mansion, and she would live here in the future as a noble daughter of a royal family's prostitute.She is not a dandy in the capital in her previous life, let alone an ordinary village girl in Zhujiazhuang, she is the granddaughter of the royal family.

"Azhao, isn't Azhao curious about our second room, our lord?"

"Curiosity, but if you can tell me, my brother will definitely say it."

Qin Zhao blinked, looked at Qin Zhe and replied seriously.

The eyes are pure, like the sky after the snow.

This trust caused a warm current to flow through Qin Zhe's heart. He rubbed her head affectionately, and smiled on his face: "Don't worry, Ah Zhao, I will have my brother to protect you in the future, and I will never leave you alone. My brother will take care of you." Give you the best life in the world. You have to trust your brother."

"I believe Azhe, didn't Azhe say that he wants me to walk sideways in Shangjing?" Qin Zhao laughed.

What she said was his name, not "brother", Qin Zhe smiled, and held Qin Zhao's hand tightly.Standing in front of the palace gate, one tall and one short, his figure is as tall and graceful as a green pine in a mountain stream.

Passing through the high bluestone threshold of the palace, one saw a handsome and extraordinary middle-aged man dressed in a black gold python robe, coming in a hurry with messy footsteps.

"Azhe, is it really you?" The middle-aged man stood inside the threshold with an excited expression, and stood outside the door with a loose figure, but his face was not happy, as if a thin layer of frost had been applied The two children, one big and one small, choked up and said.

This person should be their uncle, Qin Huaiyu, the current King of Protectors.

Qin Zhe pulled Qin Zhao, and knelt down in the sunlight: "Azhe and Azhao, I have seen Uncle."

Qin Huaiyu stepped forward, and hurriedly pulled Qin Zhe and Qin Zhao brothers up, looked at them with joy and sorrow, and nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, just come back. This girl is your fourth sister Xiao Zhao'er? "

"I'm Ah Zhao, uncle." Qin Zhao replied crisply.

But the voice is like chiseled jade beads, with two double rings on his head, wearing a bright red silk gold short shirt, and a thin white fur cape, the little man who looks like a jade carving, isn't he just another little Ah Nian?

Now that the two children are back, what about Ah Nian?Qin Huaiyu wanted to ask a question, opened his mouth, finally put the words down, and said happily: "Quick, go with uncle's house, I have told you to report the letter to your grandmother, and I am probably waiting right now."

Qin Zhe shook Qin Zhao's hand vigorously, and Qin Zhao knew that he was telling him not to be afraid, so he raised his face, smiled and rolled his eyes at Qin Zhe.Seeing her smile, Qin Zhe took her with him and told the soldiers behind him to wait for him at the place arranged by the court, followed Qin Huaiyu, and entered the gate.

Qin Huaiyu thought that Rongshouju, where the old concubine lived, was far away from the front door, so he called someone to prepare a soft sedan chair for Qin Zhao to sit in. Qin Zhe refused with a smile, and took Qin Zhao's hand: "No, Ah Zhao hasn't been back to the palace yet, so my nephew happened to take her with her, so that she could have a look at our home."

Although Qin Zhao is a little taller than the average 11-year-old girl, but beside the weather-beaten Qin Zhe, she really looks like a child of a few years old.Along the way, Qin Zhao had been hugged by Qin Zhe in the carriage for many times, and he was already used to it.

Qin Huaiyu didn't insist. After walking for a while, he couldn't help but said: "Our Qin family, you are the eldest grandson, and the news of your disappearance was sent back. Your grandmother has been sad for a long time, and she shed tears almost every day. This time it will be better. Your grandmother may be so happy. In the past few years, you...and, what happened to that group of soldiers?"

"Those soldiers are my nephew's guards. Now my nephew is the Jiedu envoy under Shu Daduhu's command, commanding the Hanhai, Tianshan, and Yiwu armies. , my nephew led the army to fight back, this time he was ordered by the emperor to go to Beijing to receive the title."

"The Jiedu Envoy of the Protectorate of Beiting? Isn't it Shang Tianchang? Why is it you?" Qin Huaiyu was shocked.

"Shang Tianchang is my nephew." Qin Zhe said with a smile, "It's a long story, I'll talk about it in detail when I see grandma later."

"It's good or bad, it's good that we can come back safely," Qin Huaiyu was very surprised, but he was also very happy that the nephew and niece could come back safely.And I also know that this is not the time to talk.

It took almost half of the palace to arrive at the Rongshou residence of the old princess. Most of the glory and longevity are autumn osmanthus, and the scattered osmanthus flowers are like jade-colored snow particles. Standing on the porch, looking anxiously at the courtyard door, there is a beautiful middle-aged woman beside her, with a noble temperament and luxurious clothes. Presumably, she is the aunt of the princess.

Beside the two, stood two slim girls.One looks seventeen or eighteen years old, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, but is high-spirited, and the other is about fourteen or fifteen years old. Because she has not yet grown up, although she is very beautiful, she does not have the strong aura of her sister around her.

Along the way, although Qin Zhe mentioned that he was standing side by side with the palace, and gave a brief introduction to the population of the palace, he did not mention the ages of the uncle's cousins, so Qin Zhao didn't know who these two girls were. But looking at her clothes, she must be the daughter of her uncle's family.
