Chapter 538: A Little Goodbye Is Better than a New Marriage
Chiyi hurried back to the capital after more than 2,000 miles. Since he went to Xichang to deliver the peace letter to the palace, Xu Xun would naturally never continue to talk about government affairs and state affairs conspiracies with a bunch of big men. After drinking Gu Dayong, Hui Hui
After brewing the new tea, he stood up and said goodbye, leading the guards straight out of the door. 1 Novel Network
It was nearly May, and there was only a crescent moon hanging in the sky. However, there were no dark clouds that night, and the brilliance of the waning moon could not block the countless stars. Therefore, the group of people galloped on the road without feeling dim at all. When they arrived at the door,
When Xu Xun turned into the familiar alley that he had been away from for several months, Xu Xun couldn't help but slow down his horse. In the end, he almost pulled the reins and let the horse walk step by step to the door.
When he set out, his beloved wife at home was pregnant, but now that he came back, he turned into the father of his child. It was really like a dream.
However, when he stopped in front of the door, none of the guards behind him dared to speak. Twenty or thirty people gathered outside the west corner door of Xing'anbo Mansion in a dark and almost eerie silence. When he entered the city just now, he could have sent
When people arrived at home, they first reported a message, but Xu Xun didn't say anything, and everyone else tacitly agreed not to mention it. After all, Jingyang Bo Shenying had already revealed before that if someone wanted to do something detrimental to him, the only one up and down the level could do it.
Hidden from the Xu family.
Dong-dong-dong—Xu Xun personally dismounted and pulled the door knocker several times, and finally a reply came from inside.
"It's so late, who is it?"
When the man belatedly opened the door a crack and stuck out his head, he was startled by the large black crowd in front of the door. He exclaimed and instinctively wanted to retract his head. But at this moment
, but under the moonlight, he could clearly see the person standing in front of him, and froze for a moment. After being stunned for a while, he suddenly opened the door and stepped across the threshold, staring at Xu in disbelief.
Xun looked at it for a long time, and then shouted out loud: "Master, are you back?"
Seeing Xu Xun brushing him away with a smile, he got on his horse and rode straight into the west corner gate. The old concierge instinctively wanted to say something to remind him, but as he spoke, he caught a glimpse of the people behind him and hurriedly added
Turning around, he bowed with a smile and said: "Fellow military lords, it's really hard to hurry and slow all the way. If you don't mind it, I'll rest in the house tonight for a while, and I'll go call someone to help you."
Please lead the horses and tidy up the house..."
Xu Xun rode his horse and trotted along the corridor all the way, feeling hot and uneasy in his heart. The concierges must have arranged their entourage well. Even if Jin Liu was not there just now, he would definitely appear in a while.
There. But he hadn't told his father and wife before that they were back home so soon, and they would have to be punished later. Seeing the second door approaching, someone was obviously alerted by the sound of horse hooves, and there was a faint figure behind the door.
Seeing the dim light of the lantern, he called out.
"Open the door, I'm back!"
Among the two maids on duty at the second door, an old one and a young one, the younger one was wondering, but when the older one heard the sound, she hurriedly took out the key, opened the door lock in twos and twos with the deftness rarely seen by an elder, and then opened the door again.
After opening the door, she saw the man on the horse outside suddenly jumped down and rushed into the door in two or three steps. She quickly stepped aside and curtsied and said: "I have seen the young master..."
The next moment, she found a gust of wind blowing past her. When she turned around, she only saw Xu Xun's back. Even so, she still dutifully hurried to the room next to her and knocked the cloud plate twice. This silent sound There was a sudden sound of cloud boards in the night, which naturally woke up many people. Shen Yue, who had been sleeping in a daze on the bed, woke up with a startle. When he listened carefully, there was no sound, so he hurriedly asked: "What sound?"….
"Young mistress, there is a ring on the second door!" Ruyi, who was lying beside her, had already climbed out of bed. She got down and put a piece of clothes on Shen Yue. Then she went thoughtfully. He glanced outside the door and suddenly said with joy, "It must be nothing else at this time. If you ask me, it's the young master who is back!"
"That's nonsense. All nine gates of the capital have been closed at this time. How could he enter the city?"
Shen Yue was laughing and scolding Ruyi, but then she heard a commotion outside the yard. When she saw a figure breaking open the curtain and rushing in, she was still suspicious and still couldn't be sure whether she was dreaming or not. She stared blankly at the figure walking over quickly, holding her in his arms, feeling the violent rise and fall of his chest, and the warmth brought by his arms. She finally woke up and actually felt The roots of my teeth felt itchy.
"You still know how to come back!"
This kind of angry complaint sounded extremely real to Xu Xun's ears. Therefore, he couldn't help but slightly let go of the hand that tightened the soft waist, lowered his head and pressed it directly on the red lips. But , before he could taste the long-lost sweetness, an earth-shattering cry suddenly came from his ears. What made him even more unexpected was that he was suddenly pushed away by two hands.
"Oh, the child is crying!"
Seeing Shen Yue put down herself, hurriedly rushed to the small bed, bent down and picked up the little person inside, and then skillfully held it in his hands and gently coaxed him, Xu Xun couldn't help but feel He was stunned for a long time before moving forward slowly. Finally, he saw clearly the child lying in his wife's arms, with a bruised face and dark eyes that were now blurred by tears. Her little mouth was open wide and she was crying hoarsely. How could she even look at him as a father? He just reached out to pinch his precious girl's cheek, but Shen Yue, who had quick eyes and quick hands, slapped her back. .
"She just had a fever a few days ago. You are sweaty and dirty. Please clean up before you touch her!"
"Has the child been sick?" Xu Xun was stunned. Seeing that the little guy's crying finally stopped, his bright eyes opened a little wider, and he was looking at him inexplicably. He couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded. However, when he saw Shen Yue held the child and looked at him stubbornly. He couldn't help but said helplessly, "I'm covered in sweat and dirt, but you're not much better. If you don't believe me, ask Ruyi what's going on with your face and body." ?”
Shen Yue was stunned when she heard this. When Ruyi looked at her and wanted to laugh but didn't dare, she suddenly remembered that Xu Xun had just gotten close to her involuntarily as soon as he came in. She immediately rolled her eyes at him sullenly and hurriedly. He gave the child to Ruyi and asked her to call the wet nurse. While she was fussing, the little girl's voice came from outside.
"Master, Master, Master is here!"
Oops!
Xu Xun immediately remembered that he had just come here first. He was a typical example of a daughter-in-law who has forgotten her father. He quickly walked out to greet him. But when he reached the door of the west room, he almost collided with the person rushing in.
His arms were full. Seeing that it was Xu Liang, he quickly stepped back to salute, but before he could make the gesture, he only felt a heavy slap on his shoulder.
"You brat, you still know how to come back!"
Why is it that my daughter-in-law said this and my father still said this?
Although Xu Xun is now strong and strong, he was caught off guard and almost fell down by his father's hateful slap. He finally stood firm, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Dad, please be gentler, these two
Over a thousand miles, I traveled three hundred miles every day, and it only took me nine days to get back. I can't stand your iron hand!"
"When I come back, I don't know how to send someone to the front station to report home as soon as possible!" Xu Liang glared at Xu Xun, and when his son just smiled bitterly, he suddenly thought that his son's letters home these days were all about reporting good things but not bad things.
The factory didn't find out much information, and suddenly his heart moved, so he ignored the matter and didn't mention it. He looked Xu Xun up and down, and saw that his face was a little thinner than when he went there, his clothes were dusty, and the uppers of his shoes were completely
He couldn't help but sigh inwardly as he couldn't see his true colors anymore. When he saw that Shen Yue's face was still stained with a little dust, he couldn't help but smile knowingly...
"Okay, I'm too lazy to interrogate you tonight. Take a bath and go to bed early! Also, by the way, let your wife clean up too, so as not to make Ning'er get dirty and get sick. You haven't been able to catch up with your daughter when she is one month old.
Come back, I will settle the score with you later!"
Seeing that his father was coming and going faster, the people had already left in a flash. Xu Xun, who was standing on the same spot, couldn't help but laughed twice. At this time, Ruyi stepped forward and smiled: "There are always preparations on the stove.
With hot water in hand, the young master and the young mistress will go take a bath first, and finish cleaning up early so that they can rest early."
Although they have been husband and wife for a long time, Shen Yue has never even thought about bathing together, not to mention that Shen Yue has never experienced it. She wanted to refuse, but Xu Xun grabbed her hand tightly with quick eyes and hands.
Then he smiled and said without doubt: "Madam, you have to help me count them. This trip outside has added a few scars to my body. I can brag to others later, especially the emperor."
…”
"Bragging, you big-headed devil!" Shen Yue finally couldn't help but angrily scolded her again, but she remembered the fear she felt when she had to report the news of King Anhua's failed rebellion. She couldn't help but lean into Xu Xun's arms.
After a long while, he said solemnly, "Every time you downplay it, every time you show off, every time you report good news but not bad news, you are always like this. You don't know why others are afraid when they are waiting for you..."
"It's my fault."
Xu Xun softly uttered these four words, hugging the person tightly and motionless. It was not until Waizhang Ruyi poked his head in and made a prepared gesture that he suddenly chuckled, and his other hand suddenly
Suddenly he held up Shen Yue's waist and hugged him up.
Shen Yue was shocked and turned pale for a moment. After struggling for a moment, he cursed: "Hey, what are you doing!"
"Of course I am making amends to you!" Xu Xun ignored Shen Yue's eyes that almost stared out of his head. After carrying the person out of the house, he simply hugged the person horizontally in his arms, kissed the cheek again and said, "
It is said that a long separation is better than a newlywed. This time we have been separated for several months. Tonight, I will make my husband a good apology to my wife!"
