peasant girl wedding

Chapter 283
Ji Chang glanced at the man, feeling angry.

Well, you Jian Shangshu, never forget to frame him.

"Jian Shangshu's words are wrong. My minister was seriously injured in the past. It seems that there is nothing serious about it. In fact, his body is not as good as before. Your majesty, for the sake of the people and peace of the empire, please ask the emperor to take back the military power."

Ji Chang looked at the emperor on the dragon chair, and said in an eloquent voice.

Jian Shangshu felt depressed for a while.

What Ji Chang said was true, he was indeed injured, and asking an injured veteran soldier to shoulder a heavy responsibility is indeed a bit worrying and frightening.

"Quite, the old general was born and died for the empire, I have agreed to your request."

With the emperor's final word, Ji Chang heaved a sigh of relief.

However, the next second, his heart rose again.

"Ji Li, Ji Ji stepped forward to listen to the letter."

The old one was injured and overwhelmed by the heavy responsibility, the young one has no reason to refuse it!

"The end is here."

Ji Li and Ji Ji knelt on the ground at the same time, saying in a deep voice.

"Ji Li and Ji Ji are young and promising, and they have made indisputable contributions to the empire. I named Ji Li the General of the Left, the official worship of the first rank, and took charge of the Nine Divisions in the capital. Ji Li was named the Right General, the official worship of the First Rank, and was in charge of the Imperial Forest Army."

"Master, thank you Lord Long En."

.........

"What does this mean, Your Majesty?"

After going down to court, Season asked puzzledly.

Although he has guarded the border for many years, he is still not as sensitive as Ji Li when it comes to court affairs and trying to figure out the holy will.

"Obtaining father's military power, and not wanting to cause people to speculate wildly and damage his reputation, so he bestows grace on you and me."

Ji Ji listened carefully and realized something.

"Brother, from now on, one of us will be in charge of the Jiusi Yamen in the capital, and the other will be in charge of the Imperial Forest Army. We will be careful in everything."

Ji Li nodded, "You are more careful than me in the palace."

"Well, I will, big brother."

The carriage stopped in front of the palace gate.

The imperial decree was issued today, and the people below also need to prepare. Official uniforms, official seals, and handover work all take time. Jili and Jiji don't have to go to the yamen today to work as errands, just stay in the mansion.

The news spread very quickly, and everyone in the Duke's Mansion knew the emperor's will.

"This is really a great grace."

"The emperor's kindness is great, you two must do well for the emperor and serve the court."

"However, don't be too busy, don't care about your body..."

The old lady, the eldest lady and the second lady, you said each word.

Ji Li and Ji smiled and nodded.

Some things, it's better for the family members not to know, lest they also worry about it.

After greeting the old lady and the others, Ji Li and Ji went back to their yards respectively.

"The emperor's mind is getting deeper and deeper."

Tong Zhi'er sighed.

Ji Li responded, "No matter what the emperor thinks, in the past few years, our Duke's Mansion has to be more and more cautious in its actions. There are me and my second brother outside the mansion, and it depends on you in the mansion."

"I know."

Facing Ji Li's trust, Tong Zhi'er replied affirmatively.

.........

In the past few days, a major event happened in the Duke's Mansion, and a major event also happened in the house where Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei lived.

Liu Chen came to look for Tong Zhu'er.

Of course, Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei didn't let him in.

Tong Zhu'er has already told Fang Cuiwei why she left the Liu Mansion, and how she really figured it out.

For this Liu Chen who has a deep influence on Tong Zhu'er, Fang Cuiwei naturally does not want him to see her daughter again at this moment.

"Master Liu, please go back."

Fang Cui said with a slightly cold face.

"Madam Tong, I will have a word with Zhu'er, only one word, and I will leave after I finish."

Liu Chen begged.

Fang Cuiwei's face became colder, "Mr. Liu, you are also a scholar, you should know the difference between men and women, please don't make things difficult for me, Mr. Liu. If Mr. Liu has nothing else to do, please go back."

"Madam Tong..."

With a snap, the door was shut.

Liu Chen stared blankly at the closed door and remained silent.

The servant who was following at the side scolded angrily: "Hmph, they dare to close the door in front of my young master, they are so brave, when they return home, tell the master to see them in the capital..."

Under Liu Chen's warning sight, the voice from behind the servant gradually disappeared in his throat, and there was no more sound.

Tong Zhu'er came out of the door, which was cut off from sight by the door.

"Mom, I'm out shopping."

"Pearl, wait—"

Fang Cuiwei hastily called her to stop.

"Mom, what do you want to bring?"

Tong Zhuer asked with a smile.

Fang Cui shook her head slightly and smiled, "I didn't, but Zhu'er, you're still at home today, talk to me."

"……it is good."

Tong Zhuer nodded to Fang Cuiwei, and the mother and daughter happily entered the room.

Outside the door, listening to Zhou Yuan's footsteps, Liu Chen's heart kept dropping.

The sun faded away, and the sky gradually became dark and gray, which made people's mood darken.

Song Huaiyi was walking in the alley, looking strangely at the two men standing in front of the Tong's house.

"Who are you?"

Hearing the man's questioning voice, Liu Chen turned around, facing Song Huaiyi's face, his brows were barely frowned, and he turned his face away without answering.

Song Huaiyi stepped forward, not annoyed by Liu Chen's non-answer, raised his hand, and patted the door.

"Uncle Tong, Aunt Tong, it's me."

he shouted.

"You live here?"

Liu Chen asked.

Song Huaiyi pouted, but didn't speak.

"Squeak", the door opened.

"Young Master Song is back, come in quickly."

Fang Cuiwei opened the door and welcomed Song Huaiyi in with a smile.

"Madam Tong..."

Liu Chen just said which word, and the door was closed again with a "snap".

"Son!"

The boy stomped his feet, his heart and lungs were about to explode, but he didn't dare to say a word.

"Ms. Tong, who is that?"

In the yard, Song Huaiyi asked puzzledly.

"Don't pay attention to people who don't matter."

Song Huaiyi nodded.

"Master Song, the food is ready, let's go to the dining room." Fang Cui said with a smile.

Song Huaiyi scratched his head, "Aunt Tong, didn't you say something yesterday, you can just call me by my name."

"Hey, good, Huaiyi."

Song Huaiyi happily followed Fang Cuiwei into the dining room.

There were four dishes and one soup on the table, steaming hot, obviously it hadn't been long since it was ready.

Tong Zhixin sat at the main table, but Song Huaiyi did not see Tong Zhu'er.

"Where's Miss Pearl?"

Song Huaiyi asked suspiciously.

"She's in the study with the bowls and chopsticks, and she'll be here in a while."

As soon as Fang Cuiwei finished speaking, Tong Zhu'er came out with a few bowls and chopsticks.All four bowls were filled with rice, Tong Zhu'er smiled and said, "Eat."

Song Huaiyi picked up the bowl, took a mouthful of rice, but before he swallowed it, he heard the man outside the door shouting loudly: "Zhuer, Zhuer..."

With a clatter, the chopsticks in Tong Zhu'er's hand fell on the table.

Tong Zhixin, Fang Cuiwei and Song Huaiyi all looked at her.

However, Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei were nervous, while Song Huaiyi was confused.

"Father, mother, let me go out for a while."

Tong Zhu'er stood up and said.

"Pearl—"

Fang Cuiwei wanted to get up, but Tong Zhixin held her back and shook her head slightly.

Fang Cuiwei watched Tong Zhu'er leave the dining room, enter the yard, and walk to the gate, her heart ached.

"Squeak--"

The closed door opened again.

Liu Chen looked at Tong Zhu'er's face with high cheekbones behind the door that was gradually opening, and his heart throbbed for no reason.

"Pearl..."

"Master Liu, is there something wrong?"

A sense of loss immediately crept into Liu Chen's heart.

Everything he wanted to say fell back into his stomach.

After a long silence, the wind howled past, rolled up the fallen leaves in the yard, spun and flew high, and gradually moved away from sight.

"If Mr. Liu is fine, please go back."

Tong Zhu'er built a door, just to close it.

A pair of men's big hands only stopped her movements.

"I have something to say."

Tong Zhu'er was silent.

"Are you... these days, how are you?"

"Thank you for your concern, son, everything is fine."

"No injuries, encountered robbers?"

"No."

"You... If I say, I regret it, are you still willing?"

Liu Chen hesitated for a long time, hesitating to say what he wanted to say the most.

These days, he thought a lot.Suddenly, he found that it was not Tong Zhi'er's shadow that he noticed during the year he spent with Tong Zhu'er.But he didn't understand at that time, and he didn't see his own thoughts clearly until Tong Zhu'er left.

Tong Zhu'er raised her head, her eyes were strange, with three points of disdain.

disdain?

Liu Chen couldn't help taking a step back.

"Young master is joking."

After leaving a word, Tong Zhu'er closed the door, the gradually closing door, the gradually shrinking line of sight, like a boundless galaxy, separating him and her, from now on, it will be difficult to cross.

"My son..."

The little servant looked at Liu Chen with a distraught face, feeling extremely worried.

"Hahaha……"

Suddenly, Liu Chen let out a chuckle.

The chuckle grew louder, and by the end, the laughter grew louder.

He smiled, but the boy could feel the sorrow in his heart.

"Wrong, wrong again."

For the first time, he didn't insist, blamed everyone, and attributed the matter to his parents.The second time, he deceived himself and others, and this time he was even more wrong.

.........

Seeing Tong Zhu'er closing the door, Fang Cuiwei breathed a sigh of relief.

It's okay, it's okay, Zhu'er really let go this time.

"Father, mother, I'm not feeling well, I'm going back to my room first."

Tong Zhu'er walked to the door of the dining room and said in a low voice.

"Well, go and rest, we'll leave you some food, and we'll come out to eat when you're better."

Tong Zhu'er nodded, and slowly returned to her room.

"Huaiyi, pick what you like to eat."

Fang Cui turned her head slightly, and said to Song Huaiyi with a smile.

"Okay, Mrs. Tong."

The rice is soft and delicious, the tofu is tender and smooth, the fried pork with green pepper exudes a tempting aroma, and his favorite small stewed mushrooms are right in front of him, but Song Huaiyi is tasteless.
