Wu Meiniang took Xiao Shuer's hand and asked softly: "Why don't you want to go to Jiangnan?"
Xiao Shuer bit her lips and said softly: "Although I don't know what happened in the court, how can I leave home and let my husband face those conspiracies and calculations alone in such a dangerous time? We are a family.
We should share weal and woe and face it hand in hand. You cannot send me alone to the south of the Yangtze River."
Princess Gao Yang comforted her at the side: "You are the most important one now. Our whole family has to think about your safety. Not to mention that the danger may not come, but just the sound of the wind and the roar of the wind and the roar of the trees in Chang'an City will disturb everyone."
You have three surprises in one day. What if you injure the fetal air? Besides, when you go to Jiangnan, you also happen to go back to your parents' home for a walk. This is a good opportunity."
In ancient times, it was rare for a woman to have the opportunity to return to her natal family after she got married. According to a custom, if a married daughter throws water and dies, it will be the ghost of another family. Frequent return to her natal family will be regarded as "unknown".
The transportation is extremely backward. In many places, a mountain separates two worlds. You will never know what is going on on the other side of the mountain for the rest of your life.
Even if they live in the same city, a married woman cannot often go back to her parents' home to visit...
Xiao Shuer shook her head and said, "What's there to see? After leaving that house, I never wanted to go back."
She lost her father when she was young, and her mother also died of illness when she was still young. Although she has been living in a big house in Jiangnan as a direct descendant of the Xiao family, she has never felt much warmth and family affection. When she was very young, she
I know that one day I will be married off like a commodity by the elders in my family in exchange for equivalent benefits or wealth.
It is naturally impossible to say that there is no trace of resentment. Who would want to be a bargaining chip in a political contest like an animal?
Now that I have married into Fang's family, the whole family is warm and polite, her husband loves me a lot, my parents-in-law are fair in dealing with things, and I get along well with Fang Jun's wives and concubines, and no one fights or robs me, which is very rare.
It's just that this is an unexpected blessing, but she is not half grateful to her family - the purpose of marrying him into the Fang family is to covet Fang Jun's power. As for Fang Jun, is he a handsome gentleman or a robber?
, has anyone ever considered it?
It was her own destiny to have a good son-in-law, so why should she be grateful to those indifferent people just because her life was better?
Growing up in that luxurious mansion, there were only trade-offs between people and the weighing of gains and losses, and the feelings between each other were as cold as frost and snow. The so-called "family inheritance" that outsiders envied and envied, in Xiao Shuer's heart, was almost as cold as the sky.
The flowing clouds are no different.
Between gatherings and separations, it does not linger in my heart.
Now she just wants to be by her husband's side, no matter flowers and praises or wind and frost swords, we will shoulder the burden and face it together.
Instead of leaving Lang Jun alone in this dangerous whirlpool, he ran to the warm Jiangnan...
Despite the efforts of Princess Gaoyang and others to comfort her, Xiao Shuer showed rare stubbornness and just shook her head without letting go.
Even if they use the child as an excuse, they can't shake her determination.
Wu Meiniang said angrily: "You are usually a soft and weak person. You don't refute anyone's words. You seem to have no idea at all. How come you are as stubborn as a stubborn donkey now?"
While they were talking, Fang Jun walked in from outside, kicked in and out of the door, and asked with a smile: "Our house is full of beauties that are rare in the world, where is the donkey?"
Wu Meiniang snorted and said with a straight face: "Why not? There is a rouged donkey right in front of you. It's so stubborn."
"Oh!"
Fang Jun walked into the house, sat on a chair by the window, and asked curiously: "Someone heard that there is a rouge horse in the world, where is the rouge donkey?"
Wu Meiniang pursed her lips: "Look, this is the person I'm talking about."
Xiao Shuer was so embarrassed that she slapped Wu Meiniang on the shoulder and said angrily: "You can't forgive anyone with your mouth, right? Sooner or later, you will piss me off to death."
Wu Meiniang sneered: "Oh, who dares to offend you? You have to live and die with your husband all day long, sleep and fly together. We have to be careful that you blow the pillow and let him divorce you another day."
People with high IQs and thoughtful minds are the sharpest talkers. In this regard, Wu Meiniang naturally completely overturned the simple Xiao Shuer. Xiao Shuer was so angry that she pushed her hard and said angrily: "How can I have any intention of living together and flying together? I just don't want to be together."
I’m just going to separate from you at this time..."
Wu Meiniang stretched out her arms, hugged Xiao Shuer's plump waist due to pregnancy, and said softly: "Fool, how can this be a separation? As women, we are happy to be able to live and die with our husband, but for
When your husband gives birth to an heir, it is our responsibility to carry on the family line!"
Seeing Xiao Shu'er's silent expression, he stretched out his hand and pinched her delicate fair face, feeling sincerely that he cherished this woman who was usually silent but showed off her intelligence.
Fang Jun did not expect that they would argue over staying with him to face the ups and downs of Chang'an. He was moved from the bottom of his heart, and with a smile on his face, he deliberately said carelessly: "It's true that long hair is short of knowledge. After His Majesty's Eastern Expedition,
My husband has already ordered Gao Kan to secretly train a group of dead soldiers, all of whom are equipped with the most advanced firearms. Each of them is a master who is as good as ten. Their access is between the center of the house and the East Palace. Others are serious thieves who are really daring and want to murder him.
I will never find a chance to strike. Do you really think that your husband is a stick, and you dare to beat Changsun Wuji to show his anger without any preparation?"
Princess Gao Yang felt relieved and asked urgently: "Seriously?"
Fang Jun said: "More than that? After His Majesty's Eastern Expedition, the crown prince will supervise the country, and the defense of the entire Chang'an City will be taken over by the Sixth Army of the East Palace. The rest of the army will not be allowed to enter the city under any circumstances. Even if the Guanlong nobles can send a few dead soldiers,
What threat can there be?"
The wives and concubines immediately felt at ease.
Although the reorganization time of the Sixth Army of the East Palace is still short and their combat strength is unknown, they are elites trained jointly by Li Jing and Li Ji after all. How could they be inferior? Moreover, the commanding officers of each group are the prince and Fang Jun.
He is a confidant and has no problem with loyalty.
If it is true that Donggong Liu leads the defense of Chang'an, it will be absolutely foolproof.
Fang Jun continued: "My husband is not a great hero. He is most afraid of death. So until His Majesty returns to court, I have made up my mind not to step out of Chang'an City under any circumstances. This blinded those who have ulterior motives."
, and there is no chance to make a move. But after all, the current situation is difficult and no one can guarantee what kind of accident will happen, so Shu'er, you must go to Jiangnan. For the sake of the child in your belly, there is no discussion on this matter."
"oh."
Even though she knew that Fang Jun's safety would not be a big problem, Xiao Shuer still refused to leave Chang'an and reluctantly agreed.
At this moment, a maid came in from outside and reported: "Erlang, Wei Ying has something to report to you."
Fang Jun immediately stood up and said to his wives and concubines: "I will come as soon as I go."
He quickly left the house and went directly to the front yard. He saw Wei Ying standing at the door of the outer house. He stepped forward and reported in a low voice: "Erlang, please ask us to keep an eye on Zhao Guogong's mansion. The people we just sent there are coming back. It is said that Duke Zhao went to Linghu's house in a carriage a quarter of an hour ago."
Fang Jun frowned: "Linghu Defen?"
It is very likely that His Majesty Li Er will take Changsun Wuji to Liaodong. Fang Jun felt that this person would definitely not be willing to stop his activities and would definitely make some preparations and explanations before leaving Beijing, so he sent people to guard the door of Zhao Guogong's mansion and keep an eye on him. The dynamics of the Changsun family.
But he didn't expect to go to Linghu's house.
Linghu Defen now has some "wash away all the glory and return to ordinary" style. He puts aside the fame and wealth that he was extremely passionate about in the past. He lives in simplicity and writes books all day long. He has a sense of incarnation as a great scholar of the world. The internal disputes in Long were ignored at all.
Years ago, he made a scene in the official office and severely stripped Linghu Xiuji's face. Afterwards, Linghu Xiuji not only did not clamor to get back the place, but stopped making a sound. This was obviously his father's fault. Linghu Defen's explanation also shows the Linghu family's current attitude towards the situation between North Korea and China - I will not offend others unless they offend me, and I will tolerate them if they offend me...
In this case, does Changsun Wuji think that he can still get the Linghu family involved in the fight for the heirloom, or even abandon his "indifferent" attitude and go into battle naked?
After thinking about it, he warned: "Always keep an eye on Changsun Wuji, and carefully write down where you go and who you meet. In addition, his sons also have people keeping an eye on them, especially Changsun Jun. That boy is now highly valued by Changsun Wuji, and I will definitely ask him to handle anything."
Wei Ying said: "We are keeping an eye on the Changsun family and heard the stewards of the Changsun family talking privately, saying that they have not seen Changsun Jun since the twelfth lunar month of last year, and the whole family does not know where he has gone."
