Harue Kagetsu

Luoshen could feel that Adi was full of respect for the person who had rescued him, even to the point of worship.

Naturally, Luoshen was also very grateful to the military Sima named Li Mu.

Although it has been several months, she still feels a little scared when she thinks of the scene again until now.

But that's about it.

She wasn't much interested, listening to Adi constantly praising Li Mu how to be a hero in front of her.

His father must have given him the corresponding award. Whatever it is, he deserves it.

What she cares more about is her father, uncle, cousin, and... Lu's eldest brother, Jian Zhi, these people she is familiar with and cares about, whether they are unharmed in the war, and when will they come back.

She interrupted Gao Huan and asked the question she wanted to know.

"Come on! I just received a letter from my uncle, and I will come here to pick you up and..."

He stopped and looked at Xiao Yongjia beside him.

Xiao Yongjia sat next to a table by the window of the waterside pavilion, with one hand open, he was admiring the bright red nails he had just dyed this morning.

Princess Qinghe not only has the name of a shrew, but after marrying Gao Qiao, she was often criticized for her extravagant life.

In the vague memories of Luoshen's childhood, the mother did not seem to be like this at first, and then for some reason, she gradually became addicted to it. Clothes and accessories cost tens of thousands at every turn. There are no less than a hundred pairs of shoes alone, crested heads, clouds, five colors... all kinds of shapes, splendid and splendid, golden shells stepping on the ground, pearls and jade stepping on the ground, extremely luxurious, many of them are left there and left to dust, they have never been worn at all. Pass.

On weekdays, except for occasionally wearing a Taoist uniform, she is always glamorous at other times, even if she is alone.

The same is true at this moment.

The sun shone in from the window, and a serpent-shaped amber-headed golden hairpin that was inserted into the side of her jet-black high bun shone brightly. The skin on her face was so white that it shone with a beautiful pearl-like luster in the sunlight.

She didn't seem to care about what the siblings were talking about.

Gao Huan turned to her and said respectfully, "Auntie, my nephew has been ordered by my uncle to come here to pick up my auntie and sister to go home."

Xiao Yongjia didn't even lift his eyelids: "Just take your elder sister back. I'll do it! Coming and going, the road is not too close, it's very tiring."

"Aunt! It's really what my uncle ordered in the letter! If my aunt doesn't come back, my uncle must be blaming my nephew. What's more, because of the previous incident, my uncle's anger towards my nephew has not disappeared. If I can't get my aunt back this time, I'm afraid that my uncle will not like to see my nephew. Auntie, take pity on your poor nephew!"

Seeing Luoshen's back to Xiao Yongjia, Gao Huan secretly winked at himself, understood, and hurried up to plead.

That's not enough, with a thud, he fell to his knees on the ground.

Xiao Yongjia put down his hand that had been admiring it for a long time, turned his face, raised his carefully trimmed lacquer eyebrows, pursed his lips, and smiled.

"Luo Lang, you know how to coax auntie. Get up, it's useless to wear two knee sockets on your knees today. Don't worry, I won't come back. Your uncle will not treat you like that."

Although Gao Huan seemed to be fostered under the name of Gao Qiao, he did not dare to be too arrogant in front of this aunt, the eldest princess, who had the name of a shrew.

Hearing this, I had to get up from the ground and look at Luoshen with a desperate expression.

"Auntie-"

Luoshen bit his lip.

"If you want to go back to see you, Aye, go back with Huan'er. I'll have someone pack up for you."

Xiao Yongjia looked unmoved, interrupted her daughter, stood up from the couch, stepped on the gorgeous felt coat with soft fur that almost covered the instep, got off the couch, turned and walked out.

The delicate gold lace embroidered on the sleeves and the hem of the floor-length skirt gleamed in the sun as she walked.

Luoshen looked at her back, slightly in a daze, and couldn't help thinking of the scene a few months ago, when his mother came back to take care of her after he was sick.

According to her secret observation, in those days, her mother seemed to not allow her father to live in the same house with her, and her father was forced to sleep in the study every night. The servants and wives in the inner guard looked at them all, but they all pretended to be nothing.

Finally, she finally looked forward to her mother's return. She thought that her parents would be able to live in the same room, but she didn't expect Aniang Aye to be like this, and she did not shy away from the eyes of the family.

Luo Shen was angry at his mother's heartlessness and pity his father's cowardice. Seeing that my mother didn't want to go home at this moment, although I was disappointed, I was a little hesitant when I remembered the last time.

This time, if she begged her mother to go back, her parents would still get along as they did last time. In terms of her father's situation, she couldn't bear it.

Aju interjected at this time: "Princess, the little lady's marriage would have been decided long ago if it hadn't been delayed earlier. Now that the state has settled down, as soon as the husband returns home, the Lu family must have asked to kiss the little lady. The marriage of the children is a top priority. When the two families are in contact, the eldest princess needs to come forward to preside over many etiquette.

Xiao Yongjia stopped, turned his head, glanced at Luoshen, and said nothing.

When Luoshen heard Aju talking about her marriage with Lu Jianzhi, she became a little shy again and lowered her head silently. After a while, I heard my mother say: "Forget it, let's go back together."

"If it wasn't for my daughter, I would never go back to that person again!"

After a pause, she said another sentence, with a strong emphasis in her tone, and she didn't know who she was talking to.

Aju smiled: "Of course. Marrying a daughter at home, is there any reason for the eldest princess not to return?"

She agreed, and loudly called for the hostess to pack up. The servants immediately got busy.

Luoshen breathed a sigh of relief, went up to hold Xiao Yongjia's hand, and said softly, "Thank you, my daughter!"

Xiao Yongjia's snow-white finger lightly poked Luoshen's forehead: "You, A-Niang still remembers when you were just born when you were small. At that time, A-Niang was still thinking, my daughter , when will you grow up, when you grow up, you must be the most beautiful girl. Now, in the blink of an eye, you are so old. A-niang is old, and you have to marry someone..."

She said, seeming a little sentimental, and stopped.

"Auntie is not old at all!"

For some reason, Luoshen suddenly became a little sad, and tightly grabbed his mother's other hand, which was covered with a jeweled ring.

Xiao Yongjia shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Forget it, what do I tell you about. Fortunately, this child of Cambodia, I am at ease. Let's go." He took his daughter and left the waterside.

…

Luoshen, along with Xiao Yongjia and dozens of servants and maids who returned to the city, landed in a painting boat.

Gao Qi, who came with Gao Huan to pick up the mistress, had prepared the ox carts to return to the city early, and there were seven or eight ox carts in a row. Next to each ox cart, at least four servants followed, especially the one at the front, where Luo Shen sat with his mother. The car, the body is made of fragrant wood, and the curtains are embroidered with gold and silver threads, which is extraordinary.

Dozens of servants and maids who served Xiao Yongjia rode in ox carts, head to tail. Under the protection of the servants of the Gao family, they walked through the lane outside the city a few days ago. On the way, they attracted the attention of passers-by who do not know how many. A dozen or so rural children rushed to hear the sound, laughing and watching, but did not follow.

The Gao family is already very prestigious, not to mention the great contribution to this battle against Xia. The **** peasants on both sides of the road knew that this was the eldest princess who was returning to the city to welcome the return of her husband.

"I heard that Xianggong was afraid of being inward, and he was about half a hundred, but there was only one woman under his knees. So far, he has not dared to take a concubine..."

"Xianggong has a great kindness in the world, if the emperor opens his eyes, how can he call him a queen..."

Although the voice of discussion was low, it still followed the wind and faintly entered Luoshen's ears.

Luoshen was a little uneasy, and quickly glanced at the mother beside him, and saw that her eyes were closed, her face was expressionless, her body swayed slightly from side to side with the movement of the ox cart, as if she was sleeping on the way, she had already fallen asleep.

Gao Qi was riding by the side and heard something, frowned, and immediately stopped the horse, and whispered to order the servants to go over and disperse the long-tongue villagers.

"Forget it, the mouth of the world, how many can you block?"

Xiao Yongjia's eyes were still closed, but he suddenly said one sentence in a flat tone.

When Gao Qi heard the mother-in-law speak like this, he had to move on.

A train of trains, slow and slow, finally entered the imperial city and headed towards the Gao family line near Royal Street.

Neighbors in the city, people on both sides of the street, saw a ox-cart ride by a column of dignitaries and nobles, and they recognized that they were from the Gao family, and they even stopped to look at each other.

Luoshen had long been accustomed to the extravagant manners of the eldest princess' mother, and when she was sitting in the car, she didn't feel anything wrong. When approaching Yujie, there were more and more pedestrians on both sides of the road. When looking out from the gaps in the hanging curtains, all the passersby were staring at the bullock cart that he and his mother were riding in, thinking of those villagers outside the city just now. My parents' comments made me feel a little ashamed and sad.

She shrank back quietly, leaning on her back. At this time, I heard the sound of the chasing wheels coming from the opposite side, and then the carriage I was sitting in stopped.

"Why don't you go?"

Xiao Yongjia opened his eyes and asked.

"Princess Chang, there is also a car coming from the other end, and it's on the road. It's hard to get through." Gao Qi replied from outside.

"Which car?"

"Princess Yulin."

Princess Yu Lin's name is Zhu Jiyue. She was born in the Zhu family and is a close friend of the current Queen Xu. She is about the same age as Xiao Yongjia and married the royal family Yulin King.

King Yu Lin had a noble status, but he was devoted to cultivating Taoism on weekdays and did not ask about common things, so Zhu Jiyue often went in and out of the palace. In terms of relatives, although there is a gap between the sects, Luoshen also wants to call her mother.

Before Luoshen entered the palace, he had met her several times.

Zhu Jiyue's appearance is naturally not comparable to Xiao Yongjia, but she has a pair of winking eyes, and is also a famous beauty in Jiankang. It is said that she has secretly raised a lot of faces.

As soon as Xiao Yongjia heard the name, his eyes showed disgust, and he said coldly, "Tell her to give way!"

A laughter came from the opposite side: "Who am I, and this kind of style is originally the eldest princess returning to the city. The eldest princess has lived in Bailuzhou for many years, and it is rare to return to the city, like a rare visitor. The concubine heard that Gao Xianggong did not I will be back soon, and I must be happy to learn that it would be a sin if the couple’s meeting was delayed because I got in the way?”

A gust of wind blew over and just blew away the two curtains hanging in front of him. Luoshen looked out and saw the ox cart that Zhu Jiyue was sitting in. The front curtain was not covered, and the interior of the car was unobstructed.

She sat in the car, wearing brocade clothes and silk shoes, only covering her face with a curtain inlaid with pearls and emeralds. After the curtain left, the long eyebrows and cicadas on the temples were looming, but it made people want to take a peek.

The people on the road were all eager to watch, but she didn't realize it, and in the bell-like laughter, she could not stop urging the servant to give up her ride to the road first.

Seeing that the road was open, Gao Qi hurriedly directed the driver to move on.

The train gradually approached the Gao family mansion.

Luo Shen quietly looked at his mother.

Her eyes fell on the curtain in front of her that blocked her vision, her shoulders were straight, her expression was indifferent, her face was expressionless, one hand was clenched into a fist, and the thin blue spider-shaped blood on the back of her hand was on the skin. Visible below.

The few pointed nails that had just been dyed this morning were deeply embedded in her palm, but she didn't seem to notice it at all.

"Auntie..."

She was a little uneasy, tugged at her sleeve, and called out softly.

Xiao Yongjia returned to his senses, immediately let go of his hand, turned his head, and smiled at his daughter, shaking his steps in a dazzling light: "We're home, let's go down."
