Chapter 018: General Armor King of Liang Robe Loquat Tree
Originally, in the minds of the young Murong siblings, the King of Beilang was just an empty title, in the unreachable border of Beilang, with a vast number of iron cavalry behind them, 300,000? They couldn’t imagine what kind of a number it was. Such a big feudal king who is privately called the second emperor, should be stomping a foot can make the dynasty shake three horrible lords, only originally had nothing to do with them, until when Murong Wuzhu and Murong Tonghuang arrived at the royal residence, stayed in Wutongyuan, borrowed the east wind of His Highness the son of the world, several times with the people slaughtered at a table to eat, although never dared to look at it squarely, but it seems to think that this Xu DaGong is not how temperamental old man! On the contrary, in front of His Highness the son of the world is good to talk very much, even they can see the Northern Liang Wangfu, talk the most useful is not this vassal king, but his first eldest son Xu Fengnian. Not to say that Murong Wuzhu do not understand, even Murong Tong Huang are confused, had to live in trepidation in the Wutong courtyard, since it is a foster family, there should be careful awareness of everything, siblings rarely out of the courtyard, but fortunately the courtyard is not short of anything, qin and chess, painting, poetry and calligraphy of the ancient collection, are worth a lot of money.
However, those who call the yard odd maids, did not give any good face, the big maid sweet potato okay, more amiable and gas, cucumber green ants this a few second-class maids are cross-eyed, so that Murong Wuzhu fear, the so-called prime minister’s concierge of the three officials, princes and lords of the stewardship of the Sai county guards, how can she not be afraid of, but Murong Tonghuang to be relatively tough some, and the maids to borrow qin borrow books and whatnot, are justified.
Let Murong Wuzhu as a relief is the arrival of a woman in Qingzhou, also live in Wutong Court, it is said that the name of the Qingzhou woman Lu Cheng Yan from the high family, the family ancestor is the dynasty on the pillar state, the father of Lu Dongjiang has also been a county governor, she brought a heavy pupil of the young servant into the house, and later met with His Highness, the young man with strange heavy pupils went to the border, these little news in the Wutong Yuan circulated very quickly, but also limited to this courtyard circulated, if said Murong siblings more or less can not afford to avoid the taste, then this first-class valor out of the women and those maids out of the fight, the nature of the strong maid cucumber always say some strange words of the dove, His Highness, the women are still maintained on the surface of the one and harmony, His Highness, such as the world out of doors, the day has changed, a room of women, all of which are good at making the most of the situation, and the world’s most important thing is that they have a lot to learn. A room of women, each specializing in killing bloodless cold knife, seems to be more powerful than hundreds of flying swords come and go, Murong Wuzhu admire that Lu Cheng Yan, several times timid far away from the spectator, listening to her speak softly and quietly, but can make people suffocate, heard that she may be the first side consort of His Highness, Murong Wuzhu thought that it is only this kind of intelligent and fearless women deserve to be on the side of the Beiliang consort.
Beiliang King walked into the Wutong Yuan alone, the maids in addition to sweet potato went up to bow, the rest of the women are standing far away, what to do what to do, this is also the old rules, sweet potato has not accompanied all the way, for them, want to live comfortably in the Wutong Yuan, the most important thing is not to do what, but not to do what. Xu Snapdragon then went directly to his highness’s room, did not sit down, walk around, seemingly to help collect some small objects, the room is spacious, the light is also good, so full of a wide range of curiosities are not cramped, in the dusk, the window of the book case covered with twilight afterglow, flooded with a warm yellow color, Xu Snapdragon stretched out the calloused hand, in the edge of the case of the book slowly slid over, stopped, long time no movement, seemed to remember what, gently smiled, and said: “I don’t want to see you, I don’t want to see you. Seems to remember what, gently smiled, retracted his hand, hands in sleeves, facing the window, the line of sight from the window to the wall.
Xu Snapdragon turned around and looked at the Lu family girl standing in the doorway, beckoned and smiled, “E. Excel Yan came ah, come in and sit and talk, accompany uncle to talk.”
Lu Dongyan entered the room, and waited for Xu Snapdragon to sit down before picking an embroidery stool to sit in a slightly formal manner. Xu Snapdragon smiled and said: “uncle is busy life, this period of time hospitality is not good, go back to Lu Chu Guo can not make up with uncle’s not ah.”
Lu Dongyan shook his head and smiled, “It won’t.”
Xu Snapdragon laughed, paused, fell into memory, emotionally: “I remember the first time I went to the capital to face the saint, it is the old Lu shangshu courtesy, take me this young martial arts together to go to the palace of the golden emperor, sort of walk that road together. At that time I still feel puzzled about it, a hall of the Ministry of the Ministry of the Ministry of Justice, how happy with a just won the honor from the six small military officer side by side, don’t mind the price drop, now Uncle Xu sort of understand, I heard that on the pillars of the state know some prophecy and weft of the blue capsule, it seems to be waiting for this day now ah, I had to know that, surely want to boldly slander an old fox.”
Lu Dongyan, who only just realized that there is such a fragrant love affair, pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes were pure and clear, not showing too much awe and curiosity.
Xu Snapdragon tone lighter, said: “Xu Bo Bo in the north of Liang side also heard some, you this niece only a foot to the north of Liang, Wen Taiyi Hong Lingshu this two old guys in the capital there drumming, remember Excel Yan you childhood can not less go to the two of them strings of doors to walk the house it, the two old men are really a little bit do not miss the old feelings, the old bullied not bully the small, lived a big age, the more live the more to go back! These years, Qingzhou is not Lu Zhuguo support the overall situation, not to mention the Bieye child bad, has long been talking about what the Green Party. But then again, from the family not to say polite words, the old Shangshu if you bite the bullet and hold on, although the Green Party can still continue to life a few years, but you Lu family is going to be pressured by the Wen Hong to death, the old Shangshu if not on the first hand to create the Green Party completely dead, will never let you come to the North Rang, in this way, the Green Party has broken the only remaining breath.”
Lu Cheng Yan whispered, “The old ancestor said that at his age, what he should enjoy has been enjoyed, it’s time to seek happiness for his children and grandchildren.”
Xu Snapdragon finally had a smile, nodded: “I like the old Shangshu do honest people say honest words, to tell the truth, Uncle has not been too much ill feeling towards the Green Party, want fame, want profit, want power, want the official, straight to straight, what things and what people are thrown on the scale, weigh out how many pounds on the sale of how much money, never ambiguous, and such a character to deal with, in fact, also come to not bother, Wen Hong two old immortal In the capital with Zhang Julu Gu Jiantang good did not learn the skin, bad is to learn the full, originally the Green Party did not take out the auxiliary political talent and the warp and weft strategy, do not embrace the Green Party where to stand up to other people a few messing around, distraction to be scattered, a pity.”
Lu Chengyan naturally did not dare to talk.
Xu Snapdragon laughed at himself and said, “Tell you what to do with these, uncle originally wanted to talk to you about family matters, alas, this person is old, he is senile.”
Lu Chenyan blinked and said softly, “Uncle Xu, why don’t you tell me about His Highness the World Prince’s childhood?”
Xu Snapdragon made a subtle gesture of waving his hand, but instead of rejecting the Lu family girl’s proposal, he retreated the hidden dead soldiers, and only then smiled at Lu Chengyan and said, “This talk may not be able to stop at any time.”
Lu Chengyan smiled brightly and said, “Until Uncle Xu gets tired of talking!”
Xu Snapdragon waved his hand, obviously in a good mood, and laughed: “Come, come, sit closer and say, uncle likes to talk about this, when Feng Nian was here he wouldn’t let him talk about it, uncle couldn’t find anyone who was willing to listen to this sincerely in the past, and coincidentally, he caught you, this niece, it’s just the right thing to do.”
Time passes, Lu Cheng Yan realized that Uncle Xu is actually a very talkative old man, talking about the interesting and embarrassing things in his son’s childhood, gray and white sparse eyebrows, full of doting and pride, this time Uncle Xu is no different from his own family’s kind old ancestor, talking about his children and grandchildren in the eyes of the good, can’t afford to use a heavy tone of voice. During the period of the big maid sweet potato end of the food box came in, filled with exquisite pastries and thirst quenching fruits and melons, the old man talked about the excitement, no frame can be said, several times personally to Lu Chenyan peeled sweet citrus, His Royal Highness’s residence at night lighting is not orchid cream candle, the house beams have many subtle organs, I do not know how the sweet potato action, it will be exposed to the many embedded in which the pearl of the night, inside the room as bright as the daytime is no different, the key is the light is soft, the long time in the body, will not be able to use the light, but also the light is very soft, the light is very soft, the light is very soft. The key is the light is soft, long time in it, also won’t let a person feel blinding tired, Lu Chengyan didn’t see in the king’s house of northern Liang in the world’s imagination bells and whistles that kind of unusual luxury, but in countless details to see the northern Liang’s heritage and the spirit. Until the sweet potato handed over a beautifully embroidered velvet cushion, Lu Chengyan saw the warmth in the eyes of this first-class maid, as well as the corners of the plump beauty’s mouth slightly curved, knowing that he was barely integrated into the Wutong Court at this moment.
The color of the sky is getting thicker, Xu Snapdragon finally stood up, don’t want Lu Chenyan to send her off, straight out of the house, to the courtyard, called out sweet potato.
The two of them walked together to the courtyard door, Xu Snapdragon said flatly: “The original intention was to let you go with Feng Nian, so that there is a person of your own to take care of, but on the one hand, he did not agree, and on the other hand, this courtyard can not do without you.”
Sweet Potato softly said, “Green Bird.”
Xu Snapdragon tone there is a trace of helplessness, laughed: “This dead-eyed girl, kneeling all night, waiting for me to nod, take the brake gun on the way out to break in, I have not dared to talk to Feng Nian about this until now, for fear of being scolded for a dog’s head.”
Sweet Potato smiled, the maids in Wutong Court, counting her and this Beiliang King in front of her the most talkative, in addition to the father and son, no one knows that she is a dead soldier left behind by the Wangfei.
Xu Snapdragon gently sighed: “After Lip Tiger left, you are like Feng Nian’s sister.”
Sweet Potato was about to speak, Xu Snapdragon waved his hand and said, “You and Lu’s girl are all the way, more care for her in the future, the soil and water of Northern Liang is completely different from Qingzhou, and then the smartest woman, can’t adapt to it for a while. We can’t transplant a good peony from Qingzhou into the land of Northern Liang, and then we’ll just leave it alone. But you remember, in a few days, you pass the message to her, say that the heavy pupil is dead, see her reaction, if this pass, you and Chu Lushan together to start preparing for her to marry into the Xu family. If it doesn’t pass, just pretend that she doesn’t have the life to be a side princess.”
Sweet Potato nodded. Xu Snapdragon walked to the entrance of the courtyard and asked with a smile, “Do you think that after this king’s conversation with her today, she will be emboldened in the next few days, or will she be pampered? You are a woman, you know more about women’s minds.”
Sweet Potato hesitated and shook her head, “The slave girl does not dare to speak out of turn.”
Xu Snapdragon also did not make things difficult for this Wutong Court great maid, and walked out of the courtyard alone.
Lu Chengyan in Wutong Yuan, obviously should be full of joy, but in reality, her hands and feet are cold, even she herself does not understand why.
Xu Snapdragon came to listen to the tide of the lake to relax, see the center of the lake in the pavilion sitting Jingan Wangfei Pei Nanwei, and according to his instructions and this dynasty is the princess inseparable Shu Shy, the two women are more than ten paces apart, Shu Shy’s duty is only to observe the Pei Wangfei’s words and deeds, for the really superb disguise, the shape is like the art, God is like the law, the art of unity is a success, Pei Nanwei’s playfulness, laughter, anger, anger and dementia, a frown and a sip of lips, a rash of a shock! The first time Pei Nanwei was very disgusted with the idea. At first Pei Nanwei is very disgusted with this Northern Liang escort stalking observation, but Shu shy hate Pei Wangfei true feelings show more and more the better, she does not care Pei Nanwei whether to hold a grudge annoyance, to the Northern Liang King’s House, you a Jing’an Wangfei counted what the Princess of Wangfei? Later Pei Nanwei simply completely ignored Shu Shy, I do not know why to this court and the jianghu are afraid of the eerie king’s house, but she really settled down, living in a lake garden, His Highness has a delicate mind, specially let a few acres of reeds, open the window can enjoy the scenery, although not as far as the Xiangfan city outside of the reed swamps, so that the calm and cold Pei Nanwei only in the tip of the eyebrow to reveal a few points of joy, reed swamps again, not her, the North Liang king’s house is not her. The reeds are no longer big, but ultimately not hers, the Beiliang Royal Palace of these acres of reeds, and then small, that His Royal Highness expressly said that they are all hers.
Xu Snapdragon walked into the Lake Pavilion, Shu Shy has silently knelt, Pei Nanwei hurriedly got up to cast a blessing, softly said, “Folk daughter see General Xu.”
“No need to be polite.”
Xu Snapdragon snickered, “You and that effeminate Zhao Heng, this king seems to have to be reversed, you do Jing’an king, he came to do Jing’an Wangfei.”
Pei Nanwei looked bitter.
Xu Snapdragon didn’t sit down and said, “Pei Nanwei, in the future, there is no restriction on you going in and out of the mansion.”
Pei Nanwei subconsciously got up and saluted again, respectfully saying, “Thank you for Great General’s grace.”
Xu Snap smiled and walked out of the pavilion, muttering, “This daughter-in-law of yours, too many rules.”
Pei Nanwei was stunned, then her pretty face reddened.
Shu Shy eyes were envious as hell.
Xu Snapdragon slowly paced back to his room, in addition to the knees of two sons and two daughters, here absolutely will not have any outsiders step in, even if it is Chen Zhi Bao this a few righteous son, something to report, but also only in the courtyard outside the door, and then together to the nearby anecdotal court study to discuss important military matters.
There is only one loquat tree in the courtyard.
In the night, Xu Snapdragon stood under the tree, lost in thought, back to not spacious and luxurious house, simple and plain, the outer room has two hangers, Xu Snapdragon stooped down from the bottom of the table to pull out a box, after opening is not what the exotic treasures, but a box full of cloth shoes. Xu Snapdragon took out a pair of sewing to half of the thick-soled cloth shoes and needle and thread box, lit a candle, skillfully bit the needle, fingers wrapped in silk thread, began to sew shoes.
Not far away, two racks of clothes, racks a set of general armor, a Northern Liang King python robe.
Outside the window, the court has a loquat tree, my wife died in the year of the hand-planted also, today has been pavilion as a cover.
