little wife

Chapter 103

Ning Luo was stunned for a moment, inexplicably pleasantly surprised. Turning her head, she saw that it was indeed the stunningly talented Zou Dacai. He was only dressed in green clothes, his black hair was tied up with an ebony hairpin, and he was wearing a turban. , How could he have the demeanor of the noble son of the capital.

Zou Zelin squeezed in between Jing Yun and Dr. Jin familiarly, patted the table and said, "Pour the wine quickly, you pour it, leave this mess to find a wife, and let me cover it for you here!"

"Why did you come here?" Ning Luo asked in surprise.

"Although I am a literati, I also have the ambition to defend my family and the country," Zou Zelin said with emotion, "Sisters and brothers, don't underestimate me."

Here Jing Yun has already poured wine for him, and said seriously: "Yes, Luo'er can't underestimate Zelin, he is the military supervisor appointed by His Majesty himself, even me, the marching schedule is restricted by him."

Ning Luo was even more astonished. As far as she knew, when Marquis Xinyi and Zhao Bin led the army, Zhang Mingzao, the censor of Yushitai, supervised the army, not Zou Zelin.

Seeing her puzzled look, Jing Yun slowly explained.It turned out that after Xinyihou and Zhao Bin led the army to Pingzhou, Xinyihou was harassed by Wei Si and Xie Junchun, thinking that Yingzhou was more dangerous, so he sent Zhao Bin to go to Changzhou, and Zhao Bin got the secret order from his daughter and son-in-law, so he naturally slowed down Marching, he deliberately pointed out a few bandits at the boundary of the Yunyin Mountains in Pingzhou, saying that they were the Northern Zhou Army, and fought a few battles for no reason. He only hoped that both Jing Yun and the Northern Zhou Army would suffer losses. It can show his credit for saving the emergency, and he can secretly shovel away Jing Yun, a thorn in his side.

However, on the way halfway, Jing Yun's surprise attack and defeat of the enemy in Luping City came over. He was afraid that Jing Yun would take away all the credit, so he changed his mind and marched westward overnight, bypassing Luping, to attack the enemy who was captured by the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Occupying Fuma City, if you want to pick out the soft persimmons, take credit for taking back a city first.

Unexpectedly, although Lu Yi suffered a setback in Luping City, he was not a fierce general who only knew how to act recklessly. He deliberately placed a small force in Fuma to lure the enemy. During the retreat, he encountered Lu Yi's main force, and the two armies fought. Zhao Bin lost to Lu Yi and was cut off from his horse. The supervisor was also killed in the chaos.

Fortunately, Jing Yun learned that the leader of the army came to the rescue, and stopped the Northern Zhou army who was pursuing the victory, thus avoiding the bad luck of the entire reinforcement army being annihilated. After the court received the urgent report, Xingye sent another supervisor, Zou Zelin, who brought Emperor Shenghe's oral order made Jing Yun act cheaply.

Jing Yun reorganized the reinforcements into the Changzhou Army and the Yunjia Army. With this help, he was like a tiger with wings added, and he fought steadily step by step. He also contacted the cities in the northwest, and then gradually repelled the Northern Zhou Army and regained the lost ground.

Ning Luo was thrilled to hear it, and felt a deep fear for a while. When Jing Yun was in the most danger, she was not by her side. If there was a mistake, the two would be separated forever.

"Do you know that as soon as the news of the death of Zhao Bin and Master Jianjunzhang reached the capital, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty almost fell to the ground in fright. It was me. When I thought of Yuan Xi and his younger siblings here, I was very worried, and I was not afraid of life and death. I begged His Majesty to come to the Northwest several times, regardless of the obstruction of those old ancestors in my family," Zou Zelin boasted, "Your Majesty is grateful for my righteousness of serving the country and being a friend. It only took seven days to arrive at Luping, how many troubles I have relieved Yuan Xi in the past few months, brothers and sisters, you must remember my kindness."

Ning Luo glanced at him, and said coolly: "The two of us are here by the way, mainly for Huiyao, right?"

Zou Zelin's ecstatic expression seemed to have been poked by a hole in the air bubble, and it suddenly deflated. He picked up the wine cup in his hand and drank it down in one gulp, and then poured himself two cups unceremoniously: "Those who know me say I am worried, those who don't know me say what I want, my heart for Huiyao is as bright as the moon, when I cut my heart out and show her, will she believe it?"

His expression was slumped, his eyes turned red because of drunkenness or self-injury, Ning Luo was stunned, Jing Yun quietly held her hand, and whispered in her ear: "Huiyao, she... seems to be going Engaged."

When I woke up early in the morning, it was raining outside the window, bringing waves of coolness.

Ning Luo was woken up by a sense of oppression. When she opened her eyes, Jing Yun's hands and feet were trapping her chest and feet, only her protruding belly was carefully avoided.

She was a little funny, turned sideways with difficulty, faced Jing Yun face to face, stretched out her fingers mischievously and slowly traced Jing Yun's outline: his brows were straight, his eye sockets were deep-set, and the bridge of his nose was like a mountain range. And the thin lips are tightly pressed at the moment, making it hard to imagine the enthusiasm it showed on her last night...

The stomach suddenly grumbled, and Ning Luo pressed Jing Yun's hand on it. Jing Yun's whole body shook, and he froze as if he had been acupunctured.

A small bag could be felt in the palm of his hand, as if the child in his belly was greeting him.

This was the first time that Jing Yun could clearly feel that what was hidden in Ning Luo's stomach was a living baby, a continuation of his and Ning Luo's blood.

He lifted the brocade quilt, revealing the chubby belly, which was already very round, and the skin was almost transparent, and the texture of the muscles and the blue color of the blood vessels could be seen.

The bulge that was still there just now disappeared, and it was changed to the side of the stomach playfully.

Jing Yun touched it freshly, and the bulge calmed down and faded away.

"Is he obedient inside? How long will it take to come out?" Jing Yun asked impatiently.

"It's still more than a month." Ning Luo made a rough calculation, the child was very obedient, and even after experiencing so much displacement, he still worked hard to draw strength from the mother's body and survived.

"If you are disobedient, wait for him to come out and beat him up." Jing Yun snorted lightly.

Ning Luo pursed her lips, wanting to be happy, but gave him another look: "How can you be such a father."

But Jing Yun bit her earlobe, and said vaguely: "He hasn't come out yet, why did you help him?"

The two of them bit their ears and talked about love for a while on the bed, and then got up lazily.Stealing half a day of leisure, Jing Yun has devoted himself to taking the lead in the past year, and has not had such leisure time for a long time.

Although it was not very peaceful outside Luping City, and there were remnants of the Northern Zhou Dynasty everywhere, Jing Yun had cultivated quite a few generals who could take charge on their own in this battle, and he didn't have to do small things by himself.

The breakfast was very sumptuous. After months of holding back Yingxiang, she was finally able to show her strengths again. She boiled a pot full of lily and yam porridge, as well as the chef's soup dumplings and glutinous rice chicken, which filled the table.Jing Yun felt it when he hugged her last night. Compared with Ning Luo, who was a little plump before, now she looks with a big belly, but she is actually so thin that it makes people feel distressed.He had already told several people who were serving him that he must let his wife grow back the flesh in the shortest possible time.

I don't know whether it's because he's in a good mood or the child is growing up in his belly, urging his mother to give him more delicious food. Ning Luo has a big appetite and eats a glutinous rice chicken, three soup dumplings and a bowl of lily yam Congee, Jing Yun was so startled that she thought she was going to burst her stomach, so she hurriedly snatched the bowl away.

There are already generals from the Zhechong Mansion waiting outside the door. Whether it is city affairs or military affairs, Luping City and the entire Changzhou are in a state of waste. Xie Junchun’s 20 troops in Pingzhou are still confronting Xinyihou’s. No matter what tricks are pulled out, Jing Yun said that it is not an exaggeration to take care of everything.After breakfast, he told Ning Luo to take a good rest, and had no choice but to leave temporarily reluctantly.

The autumn rain was pattering, and Ning Luo sat in front of the window with her chin resting on her chin and looked at it for a while, suddenly the image of Zou Zelin drunk at the end of last night appeared in her mind.

"Siblings...why...she doesn't like me..."

"I admit that Zhao is good...but I'm not bad...why can't she just look at me..."

"What's wrong with the disparity in status...I'm going to hand over the official seal! I'm also a white man!"

In the end, Zou Zelin was so drunk that he couldn't recognize anyone. He just tapped the bowl with his chopsticks and sang a song called "Die Lian Hua" who didn't know where it came from, feeling very sad.

Tao Li Yiyichun is dark,
who is on the swing,

Smiling softly...

Ning Luo sighed softly, finally made up her mind, and told Clover: "Let Jing Le prepare, I'll go to Lanke Chess Room."

Carefully getting out of the carriage, Clover propped up an oil-paper umbrella beside her, Ning Luo walked slowly towards the alley, glanced out of the corner of her eye, and saw a man in a coir raincoat standing in the shadow of the alley entrance, Stupidly looking at Lanke chess room through the gaps in the stone pillars by the street, if she hadn't just seen it last night, she really wouldn't have recognized that this was Zou Zelin, who had been drunk all night.

Seeing Ning Luo, Zou Zelin was also a little surprised, and stretched out his index finger to "shush" at her. She laughed secretly in her heart, walked into the alley without looking sideways, and knocked on the door of the chess room.

The door opened, and it was Yu Huiyao who opened the door. She stared blankly at Ning Luo for a while, then burst into a scream, rushed forward and hugged Ning Luo, choked up and shouted, "I knew you would be fine." Yes! They said that you are in danger, but I don't believe it at all, I just knew you would come back safely!"

Ning Luo also had a lump in her throat: "Of course I'll be fine, I agreed that the child in my belly will call you a godmother."

"Oh my god, my god!" Yu Huiyao stared at her stomach and exclaimed again, "Why did it blow up so big all of a sudden!"

The two women were crying and laughing at the door, and the door of the academy next door was also opened. Zhao Baoqing came out in military uniform, his eyes lit up when he saw Ning Luo, and he bowed and said, "Ma'am, it's great that you are fine." .”

Seeing that his armor was already Mingguang Jia, Ning Luo couldn't help but jokingly said, "Congratulations Brother Zhao, you've been promoted to a higher rank."

Zhao Baoqing glanced at Yu Huiyao with a little shyness, and said in a low voice, "It's just an eighth-rank captain, so I don't deserve any congratulations."

"Of course you deserve it," Ning Luo said solemnly, "You fought with your life on the battlefield. We, women, children, old and young, are all saved by you. Don't underestimate yourself."

"Yes!" Zhao Baoqing puffed out his chest, and solemnly replied, "Huiyao, madam, I'm going to the camp, you two can talk slowly."

Looking at the young man's disappearing figure, Ning Luo felt a little emotional: "Brother Zhao is indeed a good man, are you two going to get engaged?"

Yu Huiyao was stunned for a moment, then he hesitated in response, but quickly changed the topic: "Where have you been these days? Tell me about it so I can learn a lot."

Ning Luo was a little suspicious: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with Zhao Baoqing?"

"No...Brother Zhao is very good, but it's a long story," Yu Huiyao said with a smile, "Why are you still drenched in the rain with a big belly? If something goes wrong, it's my fault. Let's go in and talk about it."

Only then did the two walk towards the inside, and just after entering the courtyard gate, they heard a "plop" sound coming from inside, and something heavy fell to the ground.

Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Qin ran out from the side room wiping their hands, picked up the broom and ran towards the house: "Are you a thief who came to steal? Don't even look at the governor who has returned to the city now and dares to steal things." Don't break your leg!"

Someone yelled "Ouch", and the voice sounded familiar.

Ning Luo and Yu Huiyao glanced at each other, suddenly they both came back, and after a few steps they arrived at the door of the inner room, Yu Huiyao rushed into her boudoir first, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop beating, stop beating, we know each other! "

Ning Luo also hurriedly looked in, only to see Zou Zelin holding something in his hands, with his back to the door in embarrassment, letting the broom greet him several times.

Sister-in-law Wu and Sister-in-law Qin stopped fighting. Since Zou Zelin arrived in Luping City, he has often been rejected by Yu Huiyao. These two people already know him. Ah, you're going to scare us all to death, and I'll go to jail for beating up the court officials."

Zou Zelin suddenly turned around and lifted the object in his hand, his eyes sparkled, and he stared closely at Yu Huiyao: "Huiyao, you said you have no affection for me, so tell me, what is this? Why are you hiding in your boudoir?"
