In the sixth year of Zhenguan, on the tenth day of the third month, Chenshi
Qin Ming took a full two-quarters of an hour to finish washing under the service of Wan'er and Si She.
Qin Ming took the two women into his arms and kissed each of them on their pretty faces.
"Wan'er, Si She, I'll leave the affairs of the house to you."
The two women leaned in Qin Ming's arms, nodded gently and said:
"Don't worry, sir, I will make arrangements."
Half an hour later,
Qin Ming waved goodbye through the car window and the people at the door.
Three full days have passed since I received Cheng Chumo's letter.
Based on the friendship between Qin Ming and Cheng Mansion, he should have gone to Cheng Mansion to visit Mrs. Cui the first time he received the letter.
It's just that Qin Ming was delayed by the transport truck. Later, making the sand table and preparations before joining the army were delayed for another two days.
It wasn't until today that Qin Ming took the time to prepare for a trip to Cheng Mansion.
Of course, in this trip, in addition to going to Cheng Mansion, I also want to visit Langya Marquis Mansion.
Nowadays, the dirt road leading to the official road from Qinjiazhuang has long been transformed into a flat cement road.
The carriage drove on it not only fast, but also very smoothly.
In the carriage, Qin Ming was sitting on the sofa, holding a beautiful woman in a plain dress in his arms.
At this time, Xiao Changxi was like a fairy falling into the mortal world, leaning obediently in Qin Ming's arms.
The gauze that had been worn on his face all year round was thrown away by Qin Ming.
Qin Ming held Xiao Changxi's waist with one hand and stroked her hair with the other.
"Xi'er, did you talk to Zijun when you went back last night?"
Xiao Changxi couldn't help but blush when she thought of her conversation with Yang Zijun last night.
"Well, I have talked with Jun'er. From now on, she will call me aunt in front of the master and outsiders."
Qin Ming stroked Xiao Changxi's back and said:
"I've wronged you."
Xiao Changxi raised her head and looked at Qin Ming, her beautiful peach blossom eyes full of love.
"When I first entered the house, I made an agreement with Qin Lang, as long as Qin Lang can heal Zijun."
"I am Qin Lang's man. I am willing to be a slave and maid for the rest of my life to repay Qin Lang."
"Later, Qin Lang really cured Zi Jun's illness. According to the contract slave family, he belongs to Lang Jun."
"Now, the Nu family is very satisfied with receiving Qin Lang's love and affection, and they dare not ask for anything else."
"The slave family only hopes that in a few years, the husband will not despise the slave family, as long as he is old and golden."
When Qin Ming heard this, he held Xiao Changxi's hand tightly, and then said:
"Xi'er, do you still remember the song I sang to you before?"
Xiao Changxi's eyes lit up and she said:
"the most romantic thing?"
"Can Mr. Lang sing it again for the slave family?"
Qin Ming curled his lips, pointed at his cheek, and said:
"Before singing a song, Xi'er is not allowed to express her feelings?"
Xiao Changxi knew the elegant meaning of Xiange after hearing it. She blushed and kissed Qin Ming on the face.
"Is this okay?"
Qin Ming shook his head and nodded his lips again.
"And here."
Xiao Changxi cast a resentful look, held Qin Ming's face in her hands, and kissed Qin Ming's lips.
After a long time,
Xiao Changxi's face turned red and she huddled in Qin Ming's arms like a kitten.
Qin Ming's eyes were slightly narrowed with a smile. He held Xiao Changxi's slender waist with one hand and caressed Dabai gently with the other.
"Back to back, sitting on the carpet, listening to music, talking about wishes... The most romantic thing I can think of is to grow old slowly with you..."
.......
At Sishi, Chang'an City, Huaidefang, Lu Guogong's Mansion.
Qin Ming crossed the threshold and immediately saw Mrs. Cui sitting on the main seat.
Mrs. Cui's face was haggard and her eyes were full of exhaustion. It was obvious that she had not had a good rest these days.
Qin Ming stepped forward, bowed and said:
"Nephew, meet your aunt."
Mrs. Cui forced a smile, raised her arm and said:
"My dear nephew, there is no need to be polite. Sit down quickly."
Qin Ming nodded.
After the two chatted for a while, Qin Ming asked:
"Auntie, has there been any new news from Lanzhou in the past two days?"
Mrs. Cui's expression darkened, she shook her head and said:
"Never."
Qin Ming sighed and said:
"Auntie, please be at ease. Now that Lanzhou is under siege, the news may not be sent out for a while."
"No news is the best news these days."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cui murmured:
"No news is the best news."
These days, for Mrs. Cui, it is no exaggeration to say that the days are like years.
While looking forward to receiving more news from Lanzhou, she was also afraid of hearing the news of the death of her husband and sons.
But even so, as soon as it gets dark every day, she will come to the front hall and wait on time.
Even if it is difficult, even if it is difficult to sit still.
She still didn't choose to escape.
How do you describe that feeling?
It's like the feeling when you enter your student ID number just after the college entrance examination results came out.
At this time, Mrs. Cui silently read Qin Ming's words twice, and she felt much better for no reason.
"My nephew is right, no news is the best news."
Qin Ming nodded and said with relief:
"Auntie, don't worry. According to the court's decision, Duke E will lead 10,000 light cavalry to rescue Lanzhou at midnight tomorrow."
"The pressure on Lanzhou City will be greatly relieved by then."
Mrs. Cui's eyes lit up when she heard this and said:
"Didn't you say that it will take two days for the expedition to begin?"
Qin Ming bowed and said:
"The imperial court has revised the decree two days ago, and the vanguard army will set off tomorrow."
"Not only that, in five days, the main force of the reinforcements will also go out. By then, my nephew will also go to Lanzhou with the army."
Mrs. Cui was stunned for a moment, frowned and said:
"My dear nephew, you are still young and the only son in the family. Why would His Majesty send you to accompany the army?"
Mrs. Cui stood up and said:
"This can't be done. Auntie will go to the palace and ask to see the Queen to persuade her to take back her life."
Qin Ming's heart warmed when he heard this. He stood up quickly, bowed and said:
"Aunt, wait a minute."
"My nephew, I would like to thank my aunt for her love and care. However, it is also my nephew's wish to go out with the army this time."
"Even if there is no decree from the imperial court, my nephew will still go to Lanzhou to visit."
Mrs. Cui stopped when she heard this, looked at Qin Ming with a worried face, and said sadly:
"You kid, why don't you listen to advice? On the battlefield, swords and arrows have no eyesight. If something happens to you, what will the Qin family do in the future?"
"Auntie will still harm you!"
Qin Ming felt warm in his heart when he saw Mrs. Cui's stern look.
"Aunt, don't worry. My nephew is joining the army this time as a civilian, so he doesn't have to go out to fight with the enemy."
"So aunt, don't worry."
After speaking, Qin Ming pointed at Xiao Changxi and said:
"Also, aunt, she is my nephew's concubine. During the days when my nephew is away, she will take care of all the business in the house."
"Chang Xi, why don't you come over and pay your respects to Aunt Cui."
Xiao Changxi was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then she gave Mrs. Cui a blessing and said:
"Xiao Changxi, please pay your respects to Mrs. Cui."
Mrs. Cui was stunned for a moment, then glared at Qin Ming fiercely and said:
"It's just nonsense!"
