Jinghong Building

Chapter 400 The cocoon on the hands

Although the little He family is He Jiang's cousin, the He family is only a third-rate family. The little He family lost their father since childhood. Although they were taken care of by the clan, they were suffering from living under others.

He Jiang was the matchmaker to marry Meng Zhong as a successor. Meng Zhong was over 50 years old, and the young He family was still in his 28th year.

Xiao He originally thought that if she married a general, she would not live a hard life in the future. Even if her husband died before her, as long as she had a son, she would be able to gain a foothold in the Meng family.

But the days after she got married were far from what she imagined.

Although Meng Zhong was loyal to Wu Dongming and was also majestic on the battlefield, he was not close to his wife and children. Moreover, he was like a fire and beat and scolded his wife and children at any time.

The original wife died in depression, and when she died, she had Meng Zhong's slap marks on her face.

Little He married for the first time, and he was newly married, an old man and a young wife. Meng Zhong loved this wife, who was ten years younger than his son, very much. He spoiled Little He as much as a pearl and a treasure, and wished he could pick the stars in the sky. She has hairpins.

In the eyes of Master Meng, how could he not hate all this?

Grandma Meng and Grandma Meng targeted Xiao He everywhere. Little He did not show weakness, and blew the wind beside Meng Zhong every night, and the relationship between father and son dropped to freezing point. Finally, after a quarrel, Grandma Meng took his wife and son. After running away from home, they originally wanted to go to Zhangye, but they didn't expect to meet a horse thief on the way and died of a bad life.

When Meng Zhong heard the news, he regretted it and was much colder to Xiao He and never entered Xiao He's house again.

Xiao He wanted to give birth to a male child as soon as possible. The mother was noble because of her son. Helplessly, Meng Zhong sighed all day long, missing his dead son and grandson, and lost interest in women.

Just when Xiao He was worried, Meng Zhong was seriously injured and injured his spine, and he could only lie on the bed.

Meng Cheng had long been drooling at this beautiful little sister-in-law, and Meng Zhong became disabled. Meng Cheng immediately launched an attack on Little He. Little He was worried that he had no children and had no support. Meng Cheng teased her, so she gave up half-heartedly. The two achieved good things.

But she quickly understood that what Meng Cheng wanted was not just her body, but everything about Meng Zhong.

In terms of martial arts or reputation, Meng Cheng is not as good as Meng Zhong, but he is Meng Zhong's younger brother, and the old subordinates in the army can only accept him.

Meng Zhong was also injured more and more seriously under the careful care of Xiao He. He used to be unable to move, but now he can't even speak.

But Meng Cheng and Xiao He cannot let him die, and Meng Cheng cannot fully control the army. If Meng Zhong dies at this time, at least half of the generals will run away, and the army will definitely be in chaos.

However, Meng Cheng became lustful and soon revealed his true nature. He enjoyed abuse of Xiao He in front of Meng Zhong. He even told Meng Zhong that in his eyes, Xiao He was a prostitute.

He mocked Meng Zhong for treating prostitutes as treasures. Meng Zhong couldn't speak, and was so angry that his veins burst out.

Thinking of these past events, Xiao He clasped his jade hands hidden in his sleeves into fists. She said word by word: "Kill Meng Cheng, kill him!"

He Shuting stretched out her hand, and her white palms were as delicately carved as jade, but there were two thin calluses. If you look closely, you will find that there were also calluses on her fingers.

Xiao He also stretched out his hand, holding his two slender hands tightly.

"Sisters work together to break the gold."

He Shuting's eyes were full of sincerity, and the little He felt the respect the Princess of Chang'an respect for her.

At this moment, Xiao He was so moved that he wanted to cry.

Meng Zhong hated her to the core, Meng Cheng bullied her and insulted her, but so what? The noble Princess of Chang'an thinks she is a sister.

He Shuting lived in the Meng family's mansion and sent He Jiang away. He Shuting sat upright on the chair and silently looked at the calluses on her hands.

This was left behind when she was working hard day and night in Shantang. Later, He Shuting sharpened it with a file and soaked it with medicine. These cocoons will grow again after they fade. Even if her fingers are not touched by the spring water, these cocoons are still exist.

Whenever Wu Ji saw these calluses, he felt very distressed for He Shuting. He gently kissed the calluses on her hand and pityed her who used to be.

So later, He Shuting no longer tried every means to remove these cocoons.

Some men are born with everything, and they think they can do everything, but when they encounter setbacks and know that there is someone else but the sky is outside, they will look for the pitiful dignity for themselves from their loss.

A woman like He Ran can only make him feel ashamed, and the daughters who are big in the honey pot feel boring.

The woman who walked out of the mud and was untainted, delicate and helpless, had calluses on her hands and singing in her eyes would neither make him ashamed nor make him bored.

He Shuting has a miserable but self-improvement past, and Wu Ji is the one who rescued He Shuting from the sea of ​​suffering, and she is also her god.

Beside He Shuting, he found dignity that he could not get from other women.

He likes to find all kinds of precious bracelets and rings. His favorite is her hand. He kisses the calluses on her hand. The bracelet of mutton fat jade touches his cheeks. The calluses are thick and hard, and the bracelets are warm and moist. .

The calluses are her past, the bracelet is her present, and her bracelet is given by him, and her life is changed by him, and he is everything to her.

A touch of mocking appeared on the corner of He Shuting's mouth. She took off the bracelet on her wrist, thought about it, but put it on again.

She remembered a pair of rough-crafted gold bracelets that He Ran wore many years ago.

It is said that the bracelet was given to the servant by his mother, and He Ran asked him to come from the servant, and he wore it like a pearl or a treasure on his wrist.

At that time, the people in the mansion were all talking privately that this young lady was really unable to make any move. There was no such thing as a master and a servant who snatched bracelets. It was embarrassing to say it out.

Later, He Shuting left the He family and fled all the way. At that time, she remembered He Ran's pair of big gold bracelets.

So thick and stupid. If she was used as money, she would definitely be able to buy a lot of steamed buns, so she wouldn't have to go hungry.

When Wu Ji put the bracelet on her hand, for some reason, she once again remembered the big gold bracelet on He Ran’s wrist.

Gold has price, jade has no price. Her pair of mutton fat jade bracelets are much more expensive than He Ran’s big gold bracelets, but she is not happy.

After experiencing suffering, it has long passed the time to be moved easily.

Wu Ji couldn't move her, and she didn't love Wu Ji either.

A clear and upright figure appeared in He Shuting's mind. She couldn't help but become confused when she thought of that person.

Lu Zhen, who was thought of by He Shuting, returned to the capital at this time.

He hasn't come back for a long time. After returning to Beijing this time, he went to report his duties to He Ran, and he couldn't wait to return to the Hou's Mansion.

After several years of ups and downs, although the dynasty has not officially changed, it is not far away. Looking at the capital, only the Wu'an Hou Mansion can hang the plaques high.

Today, the Wu'an Marquis Mansion is even more glorious than before.

In the past, the emperor was very afraid of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion. Wu'an Marquis Lu Pingnan was transferred back to the capital when he was in his thirties, handed over the tiger talisman, and retired in the Five Army Governor's Mansion. At that time, the only one who was still leading the troops was Lu Pingye. One person, and Lu Pingye is only a fourth-rank military general.

Now Wu'an Hou Mansion, Lu Pingnan and Lu Pingye are stationed in the capital and Baoding Mansion respectively, not to mention Lu Zhen, who has made great achievements and a bright future.

Even Lu Chang is also the shopkeeper of Jinghong Tower in the capital. Now He Ran is dependent on female officials, and Lu Chang often goes to He Ran's mansion.

In the entire capital, there are countless people staring at the Wu'an Marquis Mansion with their red eyes open.

As soon as Lu Zhen arrived at the door, he saw several cousins ​​and nieces who had already heard the news and were waiting outside the door.

A chubby little Douding suppressed his little head and looked at him curiously: "Are you really a white horse and silver spear?"

My cousin smiled and picked up Xiao Douding and said, "Did you call the White Horse Silver Spear? Call Uncle Third."

Although Lu Pingnan is the eldest son, he only had Lu Zhen after he married many years. Therefore, Lu Zhen ranked third in the family, and this little Douding is the son of the fourth brother's family.

Xiao Douding called "Uncle Third" reluctantly, but still looked at Lu Zhen with big eyes, as if waiting for an answer.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

He was only three years old. When he went to his home, his uncle's cousin introduced him to his friends and told everyone proudly: "This is my cousin. His third uncle is a white horse and silver spear. It's amazing!"

So now, Xiao Douding wants to know if the person in front of him is really a white horse and silver spear, because he did not see the white horse and silver spear.

Lu Zhen took out a white jade horse from his body, handed it to Xiao Douding, and said with a smile, "I am the white horse silver spear. This little white horse is given to you."

When Lu Zhen walked into the second door, he could still hear the cheers coming from behind: "Ahhh, I saw the white horse silver spear, I saw the white horse silver spear!"

Dad Dou Ding. He wants to rebuild this conspicuous bag!

However, Lu Zhen only lived at home for five or six days, and then asked He Ran for a mission and went to Zhending.

Zhending’s five major camps are an important barrier to the capital and are under the jurisdiction of Lupingnan.

As soon as Lu Zhen left, Li Jinxiu pulled her face down.

Lu Zhen was disbanded by the wife of Wu'an.

When they learned that Lu Zhen was back, all those who wanted to marry the Lu family in the capital emerged.

If it were before, these families were considered to be of equal status with the Lu family, but after moving the capital, these families went from the capital to Jinling, and now they returned to the capital from Jinling. Wu'an Marquis Mansion is still the same Wu'an Marquis Mansion, but they can no longer reach the top. .

He Ran was very tolerant of most nobles and officials. Although the confiscated house was not returned, He Ran not only did not touch the money and treasures they brought back from Jinling and the houses and shops that were lucky enough to be preserved in the capital. , and also pass on the orders, no one can disturb the officials of the former dynasty who went north under various names.

Moreover, among these officials, some of them have returned to the court to become officials. Of course, these people are really capable. For example, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works have joined more than 20 new officials from the north.

Therefore, the current environment in the capital is still very relaxed for them.

But if you want to return to your previous glory, it will definitely not work within a few years.

There are many upstarts in the capital, such as Feng Zan, Nie Chen, and Feng Xieying, but these old-fashioned clans are naturally not as good as before, but their arrogance is still there.

They looked down on Nie Chen, who was born in the Jiangnan master family, and even more so on Feng Xieying, who was an orphan. They looked down on Feng Zan, who had been a bandit, even more so on.

Therefore, after all the selection, the only one who can catch the Lu family in the entire capital is the one who can attract attention.

The Lu family was the founding father of the country. Whether in the Zhou Dynasty or in front of He Ran now, the Lu family was able to enjoy themselves.

What's more, Lu Zhen of the Lu family, is the best in the capital, regardless of his background or appearance. Moreover, he is now General Zhaowu, and is a new generation of young generals. When his peers are still struggling to find a way out, he has already walked through Qingyun. Stepping on the clouds.

These old ladies and wives from the families brought their girls to the Lu family as guests under various banners.

Li Jinxiu didn't even meet him, and she didn't have to see anyone. She just heard of her origins, so she looked down on him.

Whether in the court or in the army, which of the many female generals and officials is not better than them?

She thought He Xiulong was good. When He Xiulong returned to Beijing, she invited He Xiulong to her house to sit there. Anyway, Lu Zhen is not the only grandson at home. If He Xiulong looks down on Lu Zhen and let Lu Zhen marry into her family, she would not have any. Opinion.

Now people are saying that He Xiulong is like Li Jinxiu back then. Li Jinxiu feels that if he doesn’t become a relative with He Xiulong, it would be useless to have these rumors.

Mrs. Wu'an knew about Li Jinxiu's thoughts, but as a daughter-in-law who had fought with her strong mother-in-law for 30 years, she immediately expressed her opposition with practical actions.

Not only did she hold a flower viewing party, she called all these girls to her home, but she also took her cousin niece who had turned several turns to the capital.

The cousin's name is Cai Yinlan, and she is beautiful and beautiful. What satisfied Mrs. Wu'an most was that Cai Yinlan's eyebrows and eyes looked very similar to He Ran.

No one knows his son, but Mrs. Wu'an Marquis firmly believes that Lu Zhen can be so sad for several years. If he says he has no affection for He Ran, others believe that she, as a mother, does not believe at all.

He Ran is indeed both talented and beautiful, and is also very good to the Lu family, but Mrs. Wu'an Hou couldn't even think about it.

The Lu family can be the princess, but she dare not think of He Ran anymore.

So after thinking about it, Mrs. Wu'an remembered Cai Yinlan, who had met once.

She had met Cai Yinlan a few years ago, and Cai Yinlan was somewhat similar to He Ran at that time. Now, a few years later, her facial features have grown and she has faded away. When she saw Cai Yinlan again, Mrs. Wu'an felt relieved. Come.

Cai Yinlan is indeed somewhat similar to He Ran, but not to the point of being very similar.

This is the best, a bit similar, but not completely similar, just right, it will not cause people to get sick, and it can also relieve the pain of lovesickness of one's son.

Mrs. Wu'an felt that she had arranged a good arrangement, so she designed a chance encounter for Lu Zhen and Cai Yinlan without telling it.

But she never expected that this accidental encounter directly caused her son who had finally returned home, so scared that she ran away.

Thousands of troops failed to scare Lu Zhen away. She only sent a small Cai Yinlan to make Lu Zhen run away in panic.
