Chapter 149：

, imagine that the healthy and plump seeds will take root and sprout in such moist soil, heralding a harvest season full of rich fruits, all are happy.

The tidy and marching team slowly approached the west gate of the capital. At the front of the team was a handsome young man with light brown skin. He took a deep breath with a contented expression - this It is Liang Qiufei's favorite season. It is not as heavy as the inconvenient thick fur that needs to be wrapped in the winter season, and it is not as lazy as the bones of a warm person in the deep spring.

Le Ma stood at the familiar city gate, Liang Qiufei couldn't help but think of the rough city wall that was permanently sealed with ice at the northwest border gate, the heavy snow outside the fortress that could drown people and livestock overnight, the raging ice wind The moment it pours into the mouth and nose, it can take away all the heat in the cavity. No matter how big the furnace is built in the fort made of huge rocks, the chill will inevitably come from the cracks - the comfort and warmth created by those aristocratic families in the northwest. The mansion, but the young master neither wants to live in the past nor build his own house, and only lives in one place with the generals; however, the generals can change their defenses every three years, but the young master suffers in that icy hell. Five years.

Now, they are finally back.

Liang Qiufei was secretly sighing, when a maid came running on horseback with a smile on her face: "Brother Fei, our daughter-in-law invites you to come over."

"It's done,...I'll be right here." Liang Qiufei looked at his elder brother Liang Qiuqi in front of him, and then rode his horse to the middle and front of the convoy, stopping with the maid at the side. In front of the elegant and elegant carriage.

The car window slowly opened, revealing a dignified and beautiful face of a young woman, Liang Qiufei smiled and clasped his fists: "What are your orders from Lady Luo?"

Luo Jitong sneered and said with a smile: "What are you instructed, I will treat you as my little brother, you will be polite to me! Could it be that you are watching the capital, and you are going to have a relationship with me!"

Liang Qiufei quickly shouted: "How could it be! Thanks to Lady Luo for taking care of our brothers over the years, Ah Fei is grateful and will never forget it!"

Luo Jitong's expression darkened: "It's a pity that your brother doesn't think so."

"Miss Luo don't pay attention to my brother, he always has such a disgusting face, he treats everyone the same." Liang Qiufei rolled his eyes and laughed, "But then again, if not My brother is cold-faced and ruthless, since the young master established his residence at the age of fourteen, the little girl who came over has already smashed the door of the house!"

His words were meant to comfort Luo Jitong, but those who spoke were inadvertent and those who listened were intentional, Luo Jitong smiled stiffly and sighed: "I can't tell, in Brother Ling's eyes, I'm no different from those little girls. Bar."

Liang Qiufei choked and said embarrassingly: "How can it be! Lady Luo thinks too much... thinks too much..." He didn't dare to touch Luo Jitong's eyes, because he thought of another woman.

According to Liang Qiu Fei's view, this lady Luo, who came from a noble family, not only greeted her young master and their tribes, but also was considerate, and she was also profoundly righteous, kind and amiable. 'It is much stronger, but unfortunately, the treatment of the two women is also much worse.

Three years ago, the young master fell ill with a high fever, and Luo Jitong came to take care of him. He sent him down to raise horses, and it took him three months to return. At first, he was confused, but after being pointed out by his old brother, Liang Qiufei no longer dared to make a fuss on his own.

But at that time, his elder brother Liang Qiuqi also called 'that woman' as the little queen, and the young master had a very serious face, and turned his head to reward his elder brother with two big horses worth thousands of dollars. Wan hybrid horses - brothers with the same father and mother, why is the gap so big? Liang Qiufei couldn't help falling into contemplation.

Seeing Luo Jitong's gloomy expression, Liang Qiufei changed the subject: "I don't know why, the closer you get to the capital, the more unhappy the young master is. He was chatting with Cui Hou a few days ago, but now he even I don't talk much with Cui Hou anymore."

Luo Jitong sighed: "The general is so timid, he made a monstrous mistake out of anger at first, and he didn't care about anything. Now he has to face the old man again, and he is naturally sad and timid. ."

Liang Qiufei was very impressed: "Lady Luo said it well, and I guess that's the truth."

While he was talking, a guard hurried over on horseback and whispered a few words in Liang Qiufei's ear. Zhongdao said, "Miss Luo, although I arrived two days early, the crown prince still came to welcome my young master. It's already here now."

Luo Jitong was shocked, and his face was full of gratitude: "In the early years, our Luo family was dependent on the Xuanwang family, and now Wang Chun has been demoted, Xuan Niangniang and the first prince have been abolished, and my family and Yue Niangniang have three The prince has never communicated, and the father and brother in the family are very panicked. Fortunately, you are willing to tip off the news and ask me to use the name of General Huo to visit the prince... Such kindness, I really don't know how to thank you. "

Liang Qiufei was flattered: "The prince is here, so many people have seen it, I just told the lady earlier, how can it be called kindness, the lady, hurry up, the humble post is a step ahead!" He was afraid that Luo Jitong would have to thank him, so he immediately slapped his horse and ran away.

Soon Liang Qiufei rode to the front of the convoy and saw the city gate wide open. The former third prince, now the prince, was standing not far away in light clothes, hugging his arms in tears with his young master , Cui Hou laughed aside.

Liang Qiufei hurriedly dismounted and stood beside his elder brother, Liang Qiuqi glanced at his younger brother and said nothing.

Huo Budoubt's smile is still as handsome and moving, and his figure is still tall and tall, but the prince remembers that the father and the old man complained that there was no fireworks on his adopted son, and he was indifferent like a wandering soul. Today's Huo Budo Finally, there were fireworks, but it was the fallen leaves swept up by the cold wind in the late autumn, the desolate cold rain hitting the faded window screens, and the hoarse sound of Tao Xun, who was out of tune.

This kind of fireworks, the prince thinks it's better not to have it, "You... how have you been all these years..." He couldn't tell the sadness.

Huo Budo smiled and said: "His Royal Highness will send letters every three or two months to ask about this and that, the minister searches for dry intestines, and says everything about daily food and daily life, what else does Your Highness not know? ."

The prince glared at him: "I'll settle accounts with you in the future!" And he said to Cui Hou, "Cui Hou, don't come here, Yingwu is still the same, eh, where are the two sons?"

Cui Hou smiled and said, "Your Highness thought that I would arrive two days earlier, because all the luggage was left behind, and the dog is escorted to walk slowly, and it will arrive in two or three days."

Prince said: "That's right, Zisheng came back early, it's not good to bring a mountain of wealth into the city."

Cui Hou complained: "Oh, Your Highness, you think we are going to dig a golden mountain. Where does the wealth from the northwest border village come from mountains, mostly wild animals, furs and other cumbersome things."

Huo Budo chuckled and glanced at Cui Hou.

Cui Hou said helplessly: "Uh, well, His Highness knows that this minister is a merchant from a business background. Those wild animals and furs in the hands of the minister will soon become like a mountain of wealth - Zi Sheng, You are in a hurry to expose what happened, half of it is yours!"

The prince swept away the gloom of many days and laughed loudly for the first time.

While joking, Luo Jitong had changed into an elegant Qu Ju, and came forward to bow down with several maid models: "Concubine Luo, see Your Highness the Crown Prince. After many years of separation, I hope Your Majesty and The maiden is healthy and happy."

The prince met Luo Jitong in Changqiu Palace a few years ago, and often heard that he was dignified, polite, gentle and thoughtful. At this time, seeing her also in Huo Buxuan's motorcade, he couldn't help but be surprised and happy. Looking at Huo Busu's expression, he spoke in a rare friendly manner: "Mr. Luo, you are here too, get up quickly. Gu never thought that you actually walked with Zisheng all the way."

Luo Jitong stood up gracefully, and frankly said: "My mother is sick, my father and brother called me back to do my filial piety, and it happened that General Huo was going to return to the capital, so he shamelessly took shelter under the general's command."

"How can this be considered shameless." The prince felt that he was getting closer and closer to his expectations, and smiled, "You were selected as the companion of the fifth sister when you were young, and you have known Zisheng for ten years. It’s been more than a year. It’s just a matter of raising a hand to take care of it. Zisheng will not refuse... Uh, by the way, today the father and the emperor are hosting a banquet in the Xuande Hall to welcome Zisheng and Cui Hou. Mrs. Luo, you will come too. stop."

Luo Jitong said happily: "This is a great kindness for a concubine, but how could a concubine bother to bother you?"

"It's not a nuisance, maybe in the future..." The prince looked at Huo Buzhu, who was silent beside him, and coughed lightly, "I heard that you have taken care of Zisheng a lot in recent years, Maybe the royal father has something to ask you."

"It is better to be respectful than to obey." Luo Jitong bowed and saluted gracefully.

The prince expressed his satisfaction. It was right for a dignified and decent woman like Anjie.

I remember that the emperor held a family banquet four years ago. He was planning to go to Yong'an Palace to meet the Queen Mother Xuan, and the Queen Yue asked him to invite Cheng Shaoshang to come too. Who knows that the rude little woman came up It's just a sentence 'The concubine and Lord Huo have no marriage contract. In what capacity do you attend the royal family banquet, and which prince will you choose a wife for' - he was so angry that he almost didn't do it!

Liang Qiuqi lowered his voice and said, "You called Mrs. Luo, I think you want to raise horses again!"

"How can there be!" Liang Qiufei denied first, then said, "What's more, what if we said it, we have been with the young master for so many years, and there are more than ten or eight women who want to come close. If the young master really does not I'm happy, I thought of a way to drive people away, but in the past few years, Mrs. Luo has come in and out of our residence, and the young master has not said anything."

Liang Qiuqi said solemnly: "But Cui Hou and Lord Zhou Mu slapped sideways so many times, and the young master did not nod."

"This shows that the young master is now in the middle of the two. As long as you push it again, maybe the young master's marriage will be over!" Liang Qiufei restrained his excitement, "the young master is both It's twenty-seven-eight, it's time to get married and have children!"

"Yes!"

"But Lao Zhang told us not to worry about it." Liang Qiuqi added, "He doesn't think so."

"What's not like. The Zhang family used to burn pottery. No matter what difficulties Zhang Jian encountered, he would just say over and over again, 'Well, the heat is not enough'!"

"He said, this time, it's not that the fire is not enough, but that the furnace is burning in the wrong heart."

"Huh?!"

"Zhang Qian said that it would not be too late for us to see another furnace before making plans." Liang Qiuqi said word by word.

Liang Qiufei thought about it for a few times before he understood, and stammered: "Yes, but...the hearth, isn't it cold already... The young master said a few years ago, looking forward to her 'Looking for another sweetheart, you will have a carefree life; last month we heard that 'she' and the surnamed Yuan engaged in a marriage, didn't the young master also prepare congratulatory gifts?!"

"It's true, but I think we should listen to what Zhang Zhen said."

"Why."

"Because Li Si is still a bachelor, Zhang Shan has a wife and five concubines, the house is peaceful, and there are countless friends outside, and it is generally calm."

Liang Qiufei:…

Beijing Palace, in the Xuande Hall, the emperor stretched his neck and waited for a long time, the Empress Yue said coolly next to her, "Your Majesty, if you stretch your neck again, your body will be out of the shell." The child is eager and has no time to argue with her.

The second prince who was sitting on the right side smiled and said: "Father, please sit down first, Zisheng has been clear about things since he was a child. of."

The eldest princess sitting on the upper left side is quite sour: "Today, I was going to paint the high mountains and soak in the warm soup, who knows that an hour ago, the father and the emperor rushed us all. When the announcement came, it turned out to be for Zisheng. In the heart of the father and the emperor, we, our own children, are probably not as good as Zisheng."

The emperor frowned, the concubine saw the opportunity very quickly, and hurriedly smoothed out: "Your Majesty, look, the eldest princess is a mother with sons and daughters, and she is acting like a spoiled child with you. Look at you. Love Zisheng more, she will be fooled."

These words are beautiful, the emperor really loosened his brows, and scolded the eldest daughter with a smile: "You, it would be good to have Zixun half sensible! Zisheng has suffered so many years in the northwest, I It's just how distressed it is. You gave me to go to the northwest for five years, and I love you so much!"

The great concubine added with great cooperation: "Fu Dao people don't know the government, Zisheng has made a lot of achievements in recent years, not to mention that he has beaten and pulled the Mobei ministries and appeased them properly, he said that last year's expedition In Shu, the emperor originally wanted to send another army to go around the middle of Shu from Longdi as a response. Who would have thought that Zisheng would actually be able to train a division of tigers and wolves in the bitter cold land in the northwest, and go straight through Longxi to enter Shu - like this. All of a sudden, the father emperor not only saves the need to mobilize many soldiers, but also does not have to labor and mobilize the public..."

"Alright, alright." The eldest princess pretended to be annoyed, "The father and son-in-law are in the same heart, only I am ignorant!"

The emperor couldn't help laughing: "You know it! You can't talk nonsense when Zisheng comes!"

The princess responded softly.

After training the eldest daughter, the emperor turned to look at the second son at the top of the right: "Then...the King of the East Sea, is it really not coming."

The second prince immediately replied: "Father, the elder brother is not still complaining about Zisheng, you know him, the elder brother just doesn't want to see more people. In a few days, the Yongan Palace will hold a banquet. Shao Qingjing, he will have a good talk with Zisheng."

The emperor nodded: "I know Zikun's temperament, so that's fine." The eldest son's temperament is not tough enough, and he has never attended the family banquet since Yichu, and everything in Yongan Palace is the second prince. inherited.

While speaking, Cen Anzhi ran into the hall in small steps and reported that the prince and his party were coming, and everyone looked at the door of the hall.

Floating light and shadows, several figures appeared at the gate of the palace, the emperor looked at the tall and slender figure behind the prince, and was in a trance for a while. The two of them seemed to see the heroic general of the world more than 20 years ago, the leader of all the ministers who was always calm and loyal, walking towards them slowly.

The emperor slowly stepped down from the seat, bent down and pressed the thick shoulders of the adopted son who was kneeling, and a tear fell, and the hall was silent for a while - he thought that he would never see his adopted brother again in his lifetime. look like.
