little wife

Chapter 48

It was past Xu time when Jing Yun came back. Mentioning the reason why Emperor Shenghe summoned him, Jing Yun’s always calm eyes were full of admiration: "Your Majesty received a military report from the governor of Luping City, an important town in the northwest. Since the beginning of winter this year, the Northern Zhou Dynasty The frontier is covered with heavy snow, and the weather is extremely cold. There are often reports of refugees and cattle and horses freezing to death, and there are often bandits looting on the border. I am afraid that Bei Zhou has evil intentions. I beg the court to be more careful. Your Majesty asked me to go over and ask if I have any questions. There is no good strategy. It's the Chinese New Year, and His Majesty is still working diligently, which is really a blessing for me and the common people."

When Ning Luo heard Bei Zhou, her heart tightened: "Then what's your plan?"

"Using martial arts to capture them, and then using profit to lure them, can we achieve long-term peace and stability." Jing Yun said solemnly, "The dispute with the Northern Zhou Dynasty has existed since the time of Emperor Gaozu, and has continued to this dynasty. We must be fully prepared. It’s unimaginable that one hit will hit.”

Ning Luo immediately thought of Ning Heng. If the two countries were at war, Ning Heng would definitely go to war. Life and death are unpredictable, so why not make people worry? "Is there no good policy for the relationship between the two countries?"

Jing Yun pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Northern Zhou is a martial artist, and he has been eyeing us all the time. I'm afraid that friendship is just seeking skins from tigers."

"Then His Majesty means..."

"After a year, His Majesty will let me take charge of the Habayashi Guard first," Jing Yun said in a deep voice, "After some experience in the army, I will make plans."

Ning Luo's heart sank, but she understood that the man in front of her was not a thing in the pool, and sooner or later he would soar into the sky, gallop across the battlefield, and shock the world, how could she trap his hands and feet with her son-daughter relationship?

"Okay... just be careful," her eyes were full of worry, "if there is a war..."

Jing Yun looked at her appearance, suddenly smiled, and hugged her up: "My little Luo'er is really worry-free and has a bodhisattva heart. Don't worry, with me here, I will definitely protect you from worry all your life," he said , he pressed a kiss on Ning Luo's lips, "It's Chinese New Year, let's not talk about the spoils of war, just get a good night's sleep."

The two fell on the bed together, and after a moment of rubbing their ears together, the enthusiasm was ignited out of control. Jing Yun poked his head out from the brocade quilt in embarrassment, and took a deep breath for a while before calming down a little.

Looking down, Ning Luo's ink-like long hair was scattered on her white jade-like skin, a pair of black pupils flickered, and there was a narrow smile in her eyes.

"Okay, Luo'er is actually so naughty." Jing Yun gently twisted the tip of her small nose.

"It's still a month away." Ning Luo stared at him, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

Jing Yun understands that the second day of February is her birthday, which is also a good day for her [-]th birthday, and the seed planted since the day she got married is ready to bulge outward, and he is willing to kiss and caress her patiently Watering and fertilizing the ground with such careful care, the moment when the flowers bloom must be beautiful.

For two days in a row, when Ning Luo went to Yu Mingyu's room, she didn't see Qingniang, and asked the two nuns who were serving beside Yu Mingyu, saying that Qingniang had been ill for the past two days.

Yu Mingyu sent people to reward some high-quality medicinal materials such as ginseng and velvet antler, and also invited a doctor. Obviously, he was very concerned about this former personal servant girl.Ning Luo looked on coldly, feeling pity in her heart. How could Yu Mingyu have thought that the little maidservant he loves had already separated from her.

Since Qing Niang was not there, Ning Luo stayed in the room for a while longer, watched the two nuns brewing medicine, and talked with Yu Mingyu for a while.Yu Mingyu's spirit has improved a lot, and he looked at her softly: "You are so pissed and married, is your mother reluctant?"

Ning Luo nodded: "My mother has been crying for a long time."

Yu Mingyu said sadly: "My mother left very early, and was brought into the house by my uncle since I was a child. When I got married, everyone was very happy. There is no mother who is reluctant to part with me. Only Empress Minghui shed two tears."

Empress Minghui is Yu Mingyu's cousin, and the two sisters seem to have a very good relationship, but Ning Luo was very fond of Empress Minghui when she was a child, but she never saw Yu Mingyu and Jing Yun in the palace.

Ning Luo was a little suspicious, but she didn't want to ask more questions so as not to make Yu Mingyu's mood fluctuate, so she comforted her: "Mother shouldn't worry too much about the past. Now that our family is safe and happy, and my father cares about my mother so much, even if the relatives have passed away. , I will also have fun watching it in the sky."

Yu Mingyu closed her eyes and meditated for a moment, then revealed a slight smile. She had always had a sickly face and rarely opened her face, but this smile was like clouds blooming and raining, revealing a bit of soul-stirring beauty.

Ning Luo couldn't help but flicker for a moment, she still had such a face when she was old and lingering on the sick bed, thinking back when she was married, Yu Mingyu didn't know how beautiful she was.

"You're right. I'm not as transparent as you at my age." Yu Mingyu sighed lightly.

Ning Luo covered her mouth and smiled: "Why does mother say this as if she is seventy or eighty years old? Mother is so beautiful. When she recovers from her illness, I will dress up a little. Standing with my mother, I seem to be about the same age."

Yu Mingyu also laughed: "You girl, you can really talk."

"Really, when my mother was young, she must have been alluring. I can't blame my father for loving her so much, and asking about her condition every day." Ning Luo said casually.

Yu Mingyu's expression became bewildered, as if he had thought of something, he sighed lightly and said, "He... I'm sorry for him..."

Ning Luo was a little confused, what happened to the two couples, they both said "I'm sorry for him", what happened in the past?
After these words, Yu Mingyu was obviously tired, and he closed his eyes to take a rest after a while, Ning Luo retreated away, and as soon as he went outside, he met Jing Cheng face to face.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, Jing Sheng's official duties are much less, and the two can often run into each other in the mansion.When Ning Luo saw him, she bowed and saluted, and stepped aside, but Jing Cheng didn't go in, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "You have been serving in the room these two days? Thank you for your hard work."

"Yes." Ning Luo bowed her head in response.

"How is your mother? Did you eat a lot for lunch today? Who made the medicine? You have to count it carefully, so you don't miss anything." Jing Cheng asked several times.

Ning Luo raised her head in surprise, Jing Cheng's eyes were full of concern, but he came almost every day, but hardly went in to visit, when Qing Niang was there, he asked Qing Niang every day, and she didn't know how Qing Niang responded .

"After all, my mother has been ill for a long time, and the illness is gone like a thread, and she is always depressed when she is alone. Today, she told me a lot of things in the past. We are not considerate enough to be juniors. If my father can accompany me and talk more , I think it will make mother more happy." Ning Luo said cautiously.

Jing Cheng hesitated and took a few steps, but stopped outside the inner hall door.

"Father, mother is taking a nap, please be quiet when you go in." Ning Luo hurriedly added behind her back.

Sure enough, Jing Cheng didn't hesitate any more, held his breath and focused, tiptoedly opened the door curtain and went in.

When it was time for dinner, Jing Cheng and Yu Mingyu came to the dining hall together for the first time, which surprised everyone in the family, especially Jing Yun, who has been in love with Ning Luo since he married Ning Luo, and he respects his parents more and more. Feeling regretful, but suffering from the introverted relationship with her parents and unable to start, seeing this today, even her eyes are full of surprise.

This good mood lasted until after returning to the room. Jing Yun returned to the room after going out for a while, and excitedly fetched a piece of men's clothing: "Luo'er, you put it on, let's go out for a stroll."

Since marrying into Dingyunhou's mansion, Ning Luo has never been out of the mansion again. Although she is accompanied by piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and a few caring maidservants, she always feels a little sad when she thinks of the freedom she had when she was a daughter. He even noticed her little thought.

Putting on the sapphire blue flower dress, the delicate little daughter-in-law instantly turned into a handsome young man. Ning Luo happily brought a folding fan, and imitated Zou Zelin's unrestrained appearance and lifted the amethyst to the side. The chin said: "This little lady is so beautiful, why don't you follow me?"

Lvsong and Clover laughed together, Zijing blushed and muttered, "Madam will bully me..."

"I can't call you madam anymore, I have to call you another name," Lu Zhu said with a smile, "Why don't you call me Young Master Biao."

A group of people arrived at the door, and the coachman was waiting in the carriage. Jing Yun let the maidservants get into the carriage, but dragged her under Ning Luo's armpit, and sent her directly to the white horse, and then got on the horse himself. Take a ride and walk forward along the bluestone brick road.

Dingyunhou Mansion is located in the south of the imperial city, in Nanluo Lane. It has been the residence of dignitaries and dignitaries throughout the dynasties. There are few people around and it is quiet. Ning Luo is a little nervous when sitting on a horse for the first time. He grabbed his arm and didn't dare to relax for a moment.

Jing Yun chuckled lightly, holding the rein in his left hand, embracing her slender waist with his right hand, and whispered behind her ear: "I'm here, take it easy, or you'll be hurt if you ride a lap." Sore all over."

Only then did Ning Luo feel relieved. The white horse under her crotch was named Zhuyun, with snow-white fur and a vigorous figure. She was delighted to see it, and couldn't help but raised her hand to stroke the beautiful mane on its neck. Zhuyun was touched by her. Delighted, he shook his head and hissed, and trotted along the way.

Following the method Jing Yun taught her, Ning Luo put her feet on the pedals, her legs relaxed, her body swayed slightly with the horse's pace, and she gradually got used to it.

"Do you like it? After you learn how to ride a horse, I'll take you outside the city for a walk. It's beautiful to run chasing the clouds. You will definitely like it." Jing Yun said with a smile.

Ning Luo was itchy by his breath, and suppressed a smile to dodge. Jing Yun immediately grabbed her weak spot, and blew lightly on the back of her neck several times, causing Ning Luo to giggle.

After exiting Nanluo Lane, we headed towards the South Gate. Because of the cold weather, there were not many pedestrians along the way. It became lively when we arrived at Lamma Hutong. There were some rich families and low-level officials living here, and many children gathered together. Firecrackers were set off together, and red lanterns were hung in front of every house with Spring Festival couplets, and a sense of the New Year came.

Ahead is the busiest market in the imperial city in the south, and now it's getting late, only a few shops are open, Jing Yun took Ning Luo off the horse, and went shopping one by one.

In fact, there is nothing to buy. The things here are simple and crude. Jing Yun doesn't think there is anything worthy of Ning Luo. He just walks hand in hand like this. Looking at her calm and sweet smile, his heart seems to be filled with something. It is full, which cannot be exchanged for all the treasures in the world.

Seeing that the long street was finished in a short while, Ning Luo was satisfied, and was about to ask if he was going back, when suddenly someone from above said with a smile: "Well, Jing Yuanxi, let us wait here for a while. , you have someone to accompany you to be free and easy, so hurry up and come up with three glasses of wine!"
