Emperor Wen of Tang was going to Mulan Eidground. He added the time he stayed in the Eidground on the way. He set out in early February and returned around the end of April.

In other words, Zhao Chen left home for three months this time.

It has only been more than three months since the two got married.

Zhao Chen actually got the exact date for departure before the New Year. He was afraid that Aji would not have been able to live a stable life for the year, so he never told her that she had to leave three days before she carefully explained it.

"So fast? Didn't you say you're going in March?" Aji was soaking her feet at the time. When she heard the news, she was stunned and turned to look at him.

He lied to his wife so many times, but this time Zhao Chen was a little afraid to look at her, but he was afraid that she would cry, so he had to bite the bullet and explain: "I also thought it was March. Today Zijing sent someone to tell me that it was March. On the way, the emperor was traveling slowly to camp and camp, so he had to set off a month in advance."

Aji had already settled the accounts in his heart unconsciously, and his voice suddenly became lighter, "So, you will not be back in about May?"

Her eyes turned red and tears floated in her eyes. Zhao Chen sighed, jumped off the kang neatly, moved the chair and placed it opposite Aji. Aji's eyes turned with him, and saw him sitting there holding her feet soaked in the water, and said to her softly: "Don't cry, it's only three months, I'll be back soon. The weather was warm at that time, I'll take you out to enjoy the flowers." When I came to the capital in the middle of winter, there was nothing fun nearby.

Aji didn't want to cry.

Zhao Chen went to the yard to make a future, a serious business, and his ambition. She naturally hoped that he would go happily and worry-freely. But she couldn't help but explain why, this reluctance was even stronger than when she was leaving home.

Because he pulled it down to his forehead, her tears fell directly into the water and hit the back of his hand.

First, it was slightly hot, then it was slightly cool. Zhao Chen didn't know what to say in front of her for the first time. He couldn't bear to let it go, so he understood her reluctance. He was a man who was hard-hearted, so he was so soft, and like a water... It was hard to say, Zhao Chen washed her feet silently. She loved to clean it, he just soaked it for a simple shot, and she insisted on rubbing it carefully.

Her man was accustomed to saying sweet words, but now he was silent, Aji was a little uncomfortable. She wiped her tears with a veil and looked at him in a complicated way, but saw him lowering his head and washing her feet intently. Her long eyebrows were frowning in a difficult time. When she blinked her lower eyes from time to time, a kind of sorrow spread across him.

He rarely shows such a look.

It's because he is reluctant to leave and has to leave. I don't know how to comfort her, right?

He is the one who wants to do great things, how could she let him be sad about this?

Aji quickly stopped crying and held his hand and said, "You go to the quilt first, don't freeze, I'll wash it right away, let's lie down and talk later." He was strong and didn't care much about himself. He jumped off after putting on his clothes. No matter how warm the room was, it was still winter.

"Okay, I'll warm you up first, hurry up." Zhao Chen raised his head and kissed her nose, stood up obediently, wiped his hand and returned to the quilt.

Aji had no intention of washing her feet. After wiping, Luyun, who was on duty tonight, came in to clean up, then blew the candle and went to find Zhao Chen.

"What do you need to bring with you after you have been there for so long?" The most important thing is to get a farewell.

Zhao Chen hugged his wife and said softly: "Take a few sets of clothes, shoes and socks, it's enough, there are them in the palaces over there."

"Well, you have to prepare all winter and spring clothes..."

Aji was nestled in her husband's arms and discussed with him carefully how many sets of clothes to bring and what common plasters to bring. He also told him to take good care of himself after leaving home, as if he had endless things to say.

Zhao listened quietly, listening to his wife's nagging, but he couldn't hear enough.

The next day, Zhao Chen went outside, and Aji was staring at the maids and packed them up. When he went to Ning to pay his respects, Ning would ask her how she was prepared. After all, Aji had done such a thing for the first time, and there might be something that was not considered carefully. Ning would remind her. The lady was also very concerned about Changsun, so she called Aji over and asked a few times. After hearing Aji's answer, she was very pleased with her. She just thought that there might be Ning's advice behind Aji, and that little bit of good feelings quickly disappeared.

On the first day of the second month, it was still dark outside, and Zhao Chen was ready to go.

Zhao Qing and Zhao Yi wanted to see their brother, but Zhao Chenwairang, so there were only Zhao Yunting and his wife, Aju, and a family of four at the door.

It was biting cold outside, and even with a thick fox-haired cloak, it couldn't help but tremble. Two big red lanterns at the door swayed gently, and the soft light could not dispel much darkness, but instead added to the bleakness and desolation.

Jinshu and Jinmo brought Zhao Chen's things into the carriage, and Chen Ping put a curtain on them. He was going with Zhao Chen. At that time, Zhao Chen rode a horse and walked with many noble children, while he drove the carriage with all the servants, and the carriage was loaded with the masters' luggage.

After putting it off, the two maids retreated behind Aji.

Aji's eyes were always on her husband, and she couldn't even blink her eyes. She could just take a look at her more.

Knowing that his wife was prone to tears, Zhao Chen was afraid that she would freeze her face and did not dare to stay. After hearing his father's advice and entrusting his wife to his mother, he only glanced at Aji, which lasted for a long time and seemed to be very short. Then he forced himself to put away his reluctance, quickly turned over and left without looking back in the cold.

Anyway, I have to leave, so why bother with me? Leave early and my family can go back and rest early.

The night filled the sky, and his figure disappeared in an instant by the darkness, with only the rushing sound of horse hooves echoing in the alley.

Aju didn't cry.

She promised Zhao Chen not to worry about him.

"Let's go back and have a sleep." Ning Shi smiled and held her daughter-in-law's hand. The two walked back together, and explained as she walked: "Aji, you really don't have to worry. Chengyuan dared to break out by himself when he was fourteen years old. Now, you have your aunt to take care of him and Chen Ping, who has been with him since childhood, takes care of his daily life. You just worry about whether he can win the championship."

Aji responded, there was really nothing to worry about, it was just sticking together every day, and suddenly he was reluctant to leave.

Don’t want my mother-in-law to worry about her, Aju specially picked up some of the benefits that Zhao Chen promised for the past two days and told her to her mother-in-law, “He said that the mutton stocked on the grassland over the past two years is the best, and he promised to bring back a few to add vegetables to us…”

Ning pretended to eat it and said, "We? Are we just adding vegetables to your little couple? He didn't say this to me."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law laughed softly, which made the sorrow of separation disperse a lot. Because Xinlanyuan was close to the front yard, Aji sent her mother-in-law to the door. Before entering, Ning held Aji's hand and said calmly: "Chengyuan is not here. The lady will most likely leave you there to eat. Aji, you listen to her, don't think about coming to accompany me, mother doesn't care about that. If you follow her, she will like you. When you come back from there, come here to accompany your mother. Don't be stupid, do you know?"

Zhao Chen also mentioned this to Aji that Aji was prepared for it, "I understand, don't worry, mom, I know what to do."

It's just three meals a day. At most, I can hear a few scoldings from the lady, so it's not too difficult to bear.

Ning nodded and asked the two maids who came out with Aji to carefully carry the lanterns to illuminate them. Then he went in. When he entered the room, he accidentally found that Zhao Yunting was waiting for her in the quilt, and he actually planned to sleep with her. Ning took the kang helplessly, Zhao Yunting felt complicated and hugged the person and said, "Tell me about Chengyuan's affairs there. I went in a hurry before, and I don't know what business he had done..."

But there was no tall figure in Wangzhuxuan anymore.

Aji was lying in the quilt, holding Zhao Chen's pillow, and she was sleepy in the middle of the night. In her mind, the little things that happened after she knew Zhao Chen. As she thought about it, the sound of the maid getting up early sounded outside. Aji looked out the window, and it seemed that it was getting brighter after not long.

Today will be the first time she went to Rongshou Hall alone to pay her respects.

In Rongshou Hall, Qin arrived early, took over the work of the eldest maid, and personally served the grandmaster to wash and comb his hair.

The lady looked at her from the mirror and said carelessly: "Why are you so filial this morning?"

Qin carefully inserted the red gold hairpin, put it on his mother-in-law's forehead, and then smiled and said, "Chengyuan is leaving today. I think, my favorite Changsun is not at home, and my mother will definitely not be able to adapt for the moment, so she is ready to fulfill his filial piety for Chengyuan and make her happy."

The lady pulled the corners of her mouth, swept around, and waited for several maids to go down, staring at Qin Shi and asked, "I heard from the maid that Yunting has been resting in the front yard for a while, and you two have had a quarrel? It's been three months since you were? What did you do to provoke him? How could the man not step into the back yard for so long?"

Qin's face turned pale and she rolled down without pretending to be tears. She used a veil to wipe her tears and complained: "Mom, I did nothing, it was the Marquis who was still thinking about that person. Chengyuan was not at home before, but he was under his heart. Now Chengyuan is back and can see him every day. The Marquis is like seeing things and thinking about others. He remembers it again and tells me that he will never step into the backyard again. Mom, please advise him, no one can be resurrected when he dies. The Marquis has been immersed in the past, which is not good for his health..."

If my son listened to her, what else would he do with this stupid woman?

The lady glared at Qin Shi with a grudge, "If you are good enough, Yunting will not think of a dead person. If you can't catch a man's heart, don't blame him for his bad luck."

Qin just kept wiping her tears.

"Stop crying. I came to me to cry early in the morning, deliberately making trouble, right?" The lady interrupted her angrily, and thought for a while and said, "You are also stupid. Yunting only has Chengyuan, a son? Cheng'an is smart and sensible. You take good care of Cheng'an. Yunting will naturally be happy when he sees it."

"But Cheng'an doesn't keep him by my side at all. No matter how good he is, he won't remember him on my head." Thinking that his son was taken away after the full month, she could only see him twice a month. Except for the 15th day of the month, she could only talk together. Usually, he could only watch him in Rongshoutang for a while, and tears came up again. If the Marquis hadn't really raised his son to make people feel pain, she would have no idea how she would have endured her for so many years.

The lady was angry when she saw her crying, "Cheng'an is not by your side, then you won't find a way to let him live there for a while? Cheng'an has a headache and a fever, and the Marquis would have to go to your side to see him when he knew it?" If the two concubines had not been scared by their son long ago, the maids could not get close to their son. Only Qin's family in the Marquis's Mansion could turn over with her son, so she would not bother to mention her!

Qin put down his hand blankly and looked at the lady. He wanted to ask what was the solution. When she met the lady's dissatisfied eyes, she closed her mouth awkwardly, but her mind turned around. She asked her son to live in Weifangyuan? There have been two times before, and the son was sick and missed her, so the marquis ordered someone to send her over. In the past two years, her son has become more and more sensible, and even if he is sick, he will not look for her. However, if she tells her son about her difficulties, her son will definitely cooperate with her, right?

As if the clouds broke through the sunrise, Qin's heart suddenly became clear, and he helped the lady to the outside room gratefully.

The younger generations are already waiting outside.

Zhao Yi sat beside Aji and asked in a low voice when his brother left. Zhao Qing and Zhao Han were discussing an article opposite. Zhao Yunting had already gone to the Ministry of Revenue and was not here. Seeing that the grandmother had come out, Aji hurriedly led Zhao Yi to stand up and smiled and greeted the grandmother. Zhao Yi said something more than her because she would even greet her mother Qin.

The lady nodded and sat down on the short couch. The maid next to her delivered the hand stove in an orderly manner to serve tea. The lady took a sip of hot tea, then held the hand stove, and her eyes fell on Aji, "When will Chengyuan leave?"

Aji stood up and told everything about sending Zhao Chen off.

The grandmother said to Zhao Qing and Zhao Han: "Did you see it? Your elder brother's future is not easy to make. You two can study at home. The wind cannot blow the rain and cannot beat it. Your elder brother has to set off with stars and blow the cold wind in the middle of the night. I'm afraid it will be like this all the way, so you must cherish your blessings and get a good fortune as soon as possible."

Zhao Qing stood up and solemnly replied: "What my grandmother admonished was that my grandson would study hard and live up to his high hopes for his father and his grandmother to cultivate him."

Zhao Han also said the same thing.

Although Zhao Qing was a concubine's grandson, she was beautiful because of her appearance. She was born gentle and elegant. She was born by the maid beside her. Although the lady was not good to Zhao Han, she never gave her a cold face. She smiled and let the two sit down.

Qin looked at her son with relief. Thinking of the grandmother’s advice to her, she also wanted to repay the grandmother, so she said to Aji: "Chengyuan’s wife, Chengyuan is gone. Your grandmother is very concerned about you. I think you have been eating here in the past few months. When your grandmother sees you, it is equivalent to seeing Chengyuan, and she is naturally relieved. If you are worried that your adopted mother will be lonely, please invite her over. We are crowded and lively, right? Then, Mrs. Rong takes care of Chengyuan so well, I have wanted to thank her in person." By the way, what kind of fox charming looks like!

The grandma paused her hand when she went to serve tea, her brows slightly closed, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she looked at the eldest grandson's wife, wanting to hear how she answered.

Aji smiled gentlely and looked at the lady and said, "I am willing to stay and serve my grandmother if I can comfort my grandmother. But I dare not make decisions without authorization on my side, and I have to go back and ask about my mother's meaning." As she said that, she lowered her head awkwardly and explained in a low voice: "The mother of the adopted mother is from a village like me. I didn't dare to come here when I entered the mansion, for fear of being abrupt in my grandmother. Later, I found out that my grandmother was a kind person and gradually became no longer afraid. Her adopted mother, probably even more nervous than me..."

The lady stared at Aji. Seeing that she mentioned that Ning's expression was not as fake when she was born in the countryside, she was already aware of it. Ning and Changsun Dingshi were afraid that Aji would not be foolish, so she even hid it.

The little maid over there had already started to serve food. The lady waved her hand to Aji and smiled and said, "Don't listen to your mother. Grandma has your younger brothers and sisters with you. There are many of you, but your adopted mother is really pitiful. You should go with her."

Joke, Changsun had specially found her before leaving and asked her to help take care of his wife. The grandmother is now hoping to have a good relationship with Changsun. How could she make things difficult for his wife after he left? Ning's side just gave an idea behind her back. If Qin's success, Changsun would only blame Qin for bullying his mother and had no relationship with her.

The grandmother had already made up her mind that she would not take action without permission until Changsun abandoned the village girl's wife. Moreover, the Changsun daughter-in-law was easy to control and did not provoke her. In addition to looking down on her background and being petty, she really did not have the reason to offend Changsun and deal with her.

Thinking of this, the lady glanced at Qin Shi and warned her not to be smart anymore. She wanted to see what Ning Shi looked like and not push her onto her. She never wanted to see Ning Shi again in her life. She asked Ning Shi to come over for dinner, because she was afraid that she would be angry to death.

Qin did not understand why the Taima changed so much. Fortunately, she had already got a clever plan this morning, so she was not too disappointed.

Aji was surprised that the lady did not keep her. Then she felt relieved. The lady probably just wanted to keep Zhao Chen here. She was just by the way before. Now that Zhao Chen is not here, she is not a person who is very popular. What do they keep her?

Showing a slightly disappointed expression, Aji stood up and said goodbye.

After the meal, Zhao Qing and Zhao Han went to Bowen Hall together, which was the place where the two brothers studied.

"Cheng'an!" Qin trotted and chased after her brothers. When the two of them paused and looked back, she stopped and waved to Zhao Han to come to her while gasping for her, "I have something to say to you."

Zhao Han's face changed. His father didn't like him to have more contact with his mother in private.

Zhao Qing patted him on the shoulder: "Second brother is leaving first, there are two quarters of an hour left to talk, don't be late."

Zhao Han thanked him, and when Zhao Qing turned the corner, he walked towards Qin, "What's the matter with my mother?"

Qin swept around, grabbed his son's wrist and walked towards the dry but lush flower trees on the side, with their paces fast.

She looked like she was whispering. Zhao Han felt it was inappropriate, so she grabbed Qin Shi with her backhand, broke free from her hand, and took a few steps back and said, "What does your mother have to say here." She was seen secretly and reached her father's ears. It was nothing happened and it turned into something.

He was serious and frowned like Zhao Yunting. Qin's eyes were sore, and tears fell down. He hid behind the tree and said, "Han'er, your father was angry with me. He said he would never want to see me again. Han'er, you help your mother with advice and tell your father not to blame me anymore, okay? Mom has used all kinds of methods, but it doesn't work. I really have no choice but to come to find you. Han'er, your grandfather is far away in the sky. Now you are the only one of my blood relatives in the capital. Mom can only beg you..."

She burst into tears and called her nickname again. Zhao Han felt uncomfortable. She took out a veil and handed it over to let her mother wipe her tears. Her voice softened, "Mother, there are reasons for her father to do everything. Instead of begging me, it is better to think about what was wrong. As long as you sincerely repent, father may not change his mind."
