Chang’an’s First Beauty - Chapter 137

As the smoke billowed, Lu Yan watched all the mourners in the Town Hall and Bai’an Hall turned into dust in an instant.

In the blink of an eye again, Chang’an’s fiery sun was replaced by the setting sun of the frontier fortress.

The north wind was blowing, and the geese flew south. On the plateau covered with withered grass, there are ridges and mountains at the far end, clouds and mist floating, and the nearby corridors are staggered, all of which are carved beams and painted buildings.

Here is the Changping Hou Mansion.

When the Turkic invaded, the Anbei Protectorate sent troops to fight. The battle lasted for half a year, and it was late autumn when he returned.

Changping Hou’s Mansion was decorated with lights and festoons, and the red silk was waving in the wind.

Su Heng pulled up the reins, rolled over and dismounted, and returned home to greet his mother.

As soon as he entered the door, Qi clan was talking with Mrs. Lu, the deputy guardian. Seeing him sluggish, Qi clan smiled and said, “You returned earlier than I thought.”

Su Heng threw the sword in his hand back to the guards, “The son greets A-niang.”

Mrs. Lu smiled and said, “Master Hou has done a great job this time. I think the Turks will not be able to make a comeback within three to five years.”

Su Heng said, “Deputy Chief Protector is also indispensable.”

During the conversation, Su Heng looked back frequently.

Qi’s eyes paused, and he whispered: “Zhen’er suffered some wind and cold, and the doctor just came to tell her not to blow the air, and then she didn’t come out to welcome you.

Su Heng stood up and said, “Suffering from the wind? I’ll go see her.”

Seeing that his heart was flying, Qi waved his hand and said, “Okay, you go.”

Su Heng turned and left, and Mrs. Lu smiled and said to the Qi family: “Master Xiaohou is out of the filial piety period and has won the battle again. Now, it’s time to get married. Look at the way he is just now, it will hurt people.”

Qi nodded and smiled without saying more.

Su Heng walked quickly to Huanxi Yard and whispered to the maid: “Where is the third girl?”

“Drank the medicine and just stopped.” The handmaid bowed and said: “Would you like to pass it through?”

“No.” Su Heng said, “I was waiting for her outside.”

When the sun was sinking, Shen Zhen opened his eyes and Qingxi said, “Master Hou is back, waiting for you outside right now.”

Shen Zhen immediately sat up and said, “Why don’t you call me?”

Qingxi said: “Master Hou specially asked…”

Shen Zhen hurriedly got up and said, “Hurry up and call someone in.”

After a while, Su Heng entered the inner room, he walked over, sat next to Shen Zhen, and said, “Why did you catch the cold? Is your body better?”

“It’s almost done.” Shen Zhen got up and said with a smile: “Congratulations to Master Hou for returning home in triumph.”

Su Heng looked at her in a daze, she seemed to be thinner than before.

After a while, he took out a letter from Shen Jia from his sleeve, “Sister asked me to forward it to you.”

Shen Zhen took it, did not open it in front of him, and said, “Thank you, Lord Hou.”

Su Heng smiled, “Do you still need to say the word ‘thank you’ in your relationship with me?”

Shen Zhen said after a long while, “Master Hou, I have something to tell you…”

Hearing that, Su Heng’s gaze fell on her instantly turned away, and said: “Zhen Er, I just came back, let me rest for a while?”

“Then I’ll talk to Master Hou later.” The tone is rare and firm.

Su Heng nodded and turned to go out.

He couldn’t remember how many times this was, and Shen Zhen said-“I have something to tell you…”

Su Heng returned to the study, lit the lamp, took out the imperial decree of marriage from the drawer, and stared at it for a long time.

I remembered what my mother said six months ago–

“You wanted to protect her and take her away from Chang’an. Since it was just a stopgap measure, why should you force her today?”

“Aheng, mother hopes that you can marry someone who only has you in her heart, and her heart is not on you.”

“What kind of woman do you want?”

Thinking of this, Su Heng smiled bitterly.

How can he not understand these?

But the person who has been reading for many years is under his nose, how can he suppress his greed?

At this moment, there was a rush of knocking on the door, “Master Hou, Luo Shiwei has something important to report.”

“In!”

Luo Shiwei walked into the study, and took out a message from his chest: “Hou Ye, Changan Jibao, Lu Xiang died of illness.”

Su Heng frowned, “What did you say?”

Luo Shiwei put the letter in his hands and said: “Lu Xiang died of illness. I heard that it was a poisonous death. Right now the court is in chaos.”

As soon as the words fell, Su Heng heard the cracking sound of the cup outside the door, and he followed his reputation.

I saw Shen Zhen walk in quickly.

She walked up to Luo Shiwei and said word by word: “What did you just say?”

Luo Shiwei glanced at Su Heng, but stopped talking.

Shen Zhen said with a trembling voice: “You said Lu Xiang, but Lu Jia Saburo, Lu Yan?”

It is impossible to hide this matter, Luo Shiwei can only nod and say, yes.

Shen Zhen took a step back and took a deep breath.

Su Heng signaled Luo guard to retreat, and after a short while, the door closed quietly.

The surroundings were silent, and the candlelight made a “sizzle” sound.

Su Heng and Shen Zhen spoke at the same time.

-“Let’s get married.”

——”I want to go back to Chang’an.”

Shen Zhen met his unbelievable gaze and slowly said: “I know what I’m going to say next, you don’t want to listen…”

Hearing that, Su Heng’s ten-year-old elegance completely broke apart, and he started to shoot the case, “Then don’t say it!”

This was the first time he was angry in front of her.

“Master Hou.”

Su Heng looked at her and said, “You have known him for a few years, and you have known me for a few years! Shen Zhen, why can’t I, Su Heng, be sorry for you!”

Shen Zhen clenched his fists, red eyes, and said one word: “The disaster of the Shen family has been three years. In the past three years, everyone has been kind to me, no one can’t help me! But there is some kindness, and I am destined to pay it back. I’m sorry.”

The gentle, amiable, and painting-like Shen Zhen was torn apart at this moment.

She whispered:

I am selfish.

It’s my ungratefulness.

I’m sorry for you.

Su Heng’s rough fingers pinched the imperial decree, and turned his head to look out the window. Did he keep her…

In the winter of the 20th year of Yuanqing, Master Hongjing came from Yangzhou to preach. Shen Zhen occasionally went to listen. Suddenly he realized that there were many wonders outside of this world, and many strange stories within the world. There is really a future life in this world. Say……

In the last scene where the fog dissipated, Shen Zhen knelt on the futon with his hands clasped together.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter, the four seasons rotate for thirty years.

If you don’t believe in the next life, I will beg you for the next life. She read.

When Da Dream woke up, Lu Yan slowly opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Shen Zhen lying in his arms, his eyes were slightly wet.

After a while, he took her hand and pecked the back of her hand.

In his sleep, Shen Zhen instinctively withdrew his hand.

The man pulled back again.

Nodded and kissed the palm of her hand, feeling that it was not enough, and the close kiss fell on her thin white wrist again.

Shen Zhen frowned, a little itchy, and with a wave of his hand, the back of his hand hit the man’s chin.

It’s not heavy, but it’s also a “pop”.

This is definitely the first slap Lu Saburo has ever suffered in his two lifetimes.

Lu Yan was startled.

Then he chuckled slightly.

Shen Zhen, I want to try, in a lifetime, can you be self-willed, arrogant and reckless.

——

Lu Yan became the prime minister of Dajin at the age of twenty-nine.

His political achievements are outstanding, the background is excellent, and his official career is so smooth that people don’t even have the strength to be jealous.

In the evening, the snowflakes fell leisurely, and as soon as Lu Yan stepped into the gate, he saw Fuman hurriedly across the hanging corridor with the wooden box and walked towards Suning Hall.

Is she sick?

Lu Yan’s eyes were startled, and followed him in stride.

Shen Zhen leaned on the couch and helped Man to check her pulse.

The moment Lu Yan opened the door, he heard Fuman say, “Congratulations, Madam, this is pregnant.”

Shen Zhen murmured, “Is pregnant?”

Fuman smiled, “My wife’s monthly letter hasn’t come yet?”

Shen Zhen blinked his eyes and recalled for a moment: “I really haven’t come.”

Fuman said: “That’s it.”

The man standing at the door raised his eyebrows subconsciously, she was pregnant again?

Thinking back to the day Lu Changan was born, he was afraid that he would never forget the heart-wrenching taste in the next life…

That night.

Lu Yan followed the lights and went to see Shen Zhen after the shower. Her black and soft hair was draped behind her, making her face pale, just like before. She just gave birth to a child, and she has an unclear charm on her body.

Suddenly, the breeze came in through the window, holding up the hair on her forehead.

He stretched out his hand to pin the messy hair behind her ears, and pinched her earlobes as if bewitched.

The rubbing again and again caused Shen Zhen’s eyes to blink.

Old couples and old wives can tell what the other party means with just one look.

Shen Zhen hid and discussed with him in a low voice: “Should we sleep in separate rooms?”

Lu Yan’s eyes darkened, and said, “Madam, are you trying to push me away?”

“What is this, it’s just that it’s not convenient for me…” Shen Zhen glanced at his stomach.

Lu Yan glanced at her five crystal clear fingers, and said without changing his face, “Convenient.”

She grabbed her little hand.

The news that Shen Zhen was pregnant quickly spread. Someone said congratulations to Lu Yan, while some quietly made other ideas.

Everyone in Chang’an knows that Lu Xiang has never taken a concubine.

If you can send a woman into the town’s government office at this time, the future will be limitless. Just look at the Shen family. It’s only a year after Shen Wenqi resigned, and the plaque of Yunyang Hou’s Mansion was hung up again.

It is definitely the first one for the Shen family to get back the lost title.

I have to say that these officials are all human beings. If you want to send someone off to the government of Zhenguo, you can pick Jiao Li with a white waist and thin waist, for fear that Lu Yan will look down on her, so she deliberately chose to act in the spring.

Spring blossoms, everything recovers, and cats know how to meow.

One day, Master Lu and his colleagues went out for a drink.

After drinking for three rounds, Wang Shinian, the servant of the staff, gave the steward of Pingkangfang a look. After a long while, a woman came in.

Lu Yan looked up, unable to help but feel a little dazed.

He remembered that the woman in front of him was the one Sui Yu and Chu Xun had found for him in his previous life.

The one who is exactly like Shen Zhen.

The woman looked at Lu Yan and saw that he had not refused, so she sat beside him with courage.

Lu Yan turned her head and asked her, “What’s your name?”

The woman clenched her fist and whispered in a low voice: “Return to the lord, and call for Zhen’er as a slave.”

Lu Yan asked her, “Which Zhen?”

Zhener said: “The pearl of Zhen.”

Lu Yan said again: “How old is it?”

Zhener said: “Eighteen.”

Hearing this, Lu Yan couldn’t help but smile at the corner of his mouth. Except for being two years older, it was exactly the same as in his dream.

Lu Yan only sighed in his heart the difference between the two lives, but the smile on his lips made Wang Shinianhui wrong.

He thought he was betting right.

Zhen’er raised her hand to pour him wine, and when it was full, she lifted it up and said softly, “My lord, please use it.”

However, in the next instant, Lu Yan stood up, and Wang Shinian flatly said, “My lord, where are you going?”

Lu Yan looked at Zhen’er and said coldly, “Change her name.”

Wang Shinian’s eyes were startled, and he said tremblingly: “My lord, this is…”

When Lu Yan returned to the house, he happened to see Lu Changan holding Shen Zhen’s belly and looking at him. After a long while, he called his sister.

Shen Zhen smiled, “Really? Really my sister?”

Mo Yue said: “Madam, how old is Xiao Lang…I can’t believe this.”

Tangyue said: “Hey, this is not necessarily true. My mother-in-law told me that the children’s eyes are clear.”

Lu Yan walked over, picked up Lu Changan, threw him to the nurse, and said, “Go and send it to the princess.”

The child was young and it was natural to cry. When forced to leave his mother-in-law, she couldn’t help but stretched out her hand, choked and called to her mother-in-law.

Lu Yan looked back and gave him a cold look, as if to say again: You can’t compare with your mother-in-law, it’s useless if you cry.

Lu Chang’an smiled at everyone, very likable, it was the cusp of Princess Jing’an, but he was afraid of Lu Yan.

Lu Chang’an was swept away by the infiltrating gaze, and the corners of his mouth stopped twitching immediately.

After Lu Changan was taken out, the people in the house withdrew, leaving only the two of them. Shen Zhen moved the tip of his nose, “Where did Lang Jun go?”

Lu Yan said, “Drank some wine.”

Shen Zhen got up, walked to him, and smelled his clothes. It was the smell of rouge, the fragrance only found on women.

Seeing her nose shrugged, Lu Yan couldn’t help but laughed low, Shen Zhen raised his eyes and stared at him.

“With whom?”

As he looked at each other, the man’s eyes smiled deeper, he stretched out his hand to untie his girdle and took off his official uniform.

He hugged her in his arms topless.

Shen Zhen pushed him, covering his eyes.

Lu Yan forced her into the corner of the bed, sucked her lips, and whispered, “Would you like?”

Shen Zhen raised his head and bit his lower lip, raising his eyes to look at him.

These clear eyes are indeed attractive. he thinks.

——

I have to say that there are many people who want to “pimp” Lu Yan.

Push one away, and another one.

Early the next morning, the third aunt of the Shen family smiled and knocked on the door of the Guogong Mansion. She brought a lot of objects for children to play with, and said to Shen Zhen: “Zhen Er, these are all made by your third uncle.”

Shen Zhen nodded and said lightly: “Thank you Sanshu.”

The relationship between the three houses of the Shen family has eased a lot in the past two years. One is because Shen Wenqi does have feelings for his mother’s younger brothers, the other is because he doesn’t want outsiders to follow the jokes, and the third is because the Yunyang Hou Mansion is very busy. These two rooms and three rooms also completely hide the ugly face.

As the saying goes, you don’t hit the smiley person with your hand, this is more or less justifiable in terms of face.

However, it’s just a pass.

In Shen Zhen’s view, her three aunts are unprofitable people who can’t afford to take care of them. Today, she brought so many “wandering” objects, so she must have made other ideas.

Shen Zhen pretended to yawn, and was about to say that he was tired, so Zou hurriedly said, “Zhen Er, your cousin is in Beijing.”

“cousin?”

“It’s the sister of the Zhao family in Xinyang, and Zhao Xu, who is the fourth in her family. A few years ago, she came to the capital. You’ve seen it. At that time, she was chasing you and calling you A sister.

Shen Zhen looked into Zou’s eyes and said directly: “She came to Beijing to do something.”

Zou’s conversation turned around and looked at Shen Zhen’s stomach and hinted, “Xu’er, Aye, died early. She came to Beijing this time to join me. She is sixteen and has not yet been out of the cabinet. She has a very good temper. .”

Shen Zhen choked with sullenness, “The third aunt is asking me to call Zhao Siniang into the Guogong Mansion?”

Zou’s heart sighed and said directly: “Zhen Er, the family doesn’t talk about two things, you are pregnant right now, it is inconvenient, it is better to let the outsiders take advantage of the loopholes…”

Before the Zou family finished speaking, Shen Zhen interrupted her directly, “Qingxi, send someone to send the third aunt back to the house.”

Zou’s face changed, “Zhen Er, the third aunt is also for your own good. If you take her into the mansion, who won’t sigh for your virtuousness?”

Shen Zhen got up and went back to the inner room.

After Lu Yan learned of this, he said nothing.

It was not until half a year later that Shen Lu was pregnant, and Lu Yan and her husband, Tai Chang Cheng Tai Feng had a drink. Tai Feng was flattered and took the woman around him home without thinking.

Shen Lu was crying and making trouble with a big belly, and almost had no miscarriage. Zou’s eyes stared, unable to say a word.

Tai Feng harvested the woman as his aunt and praised Shen Lu with a virtuous sentence.

——

The days can’t stand the breakdown, the four seasons change, and it is another year.

Shen Zhen’s waist went back thinly.

I have to say that Lu Jingshu’s treatment is obviously better than Lu Chang’an. When Lu Jingshu called Ye Ye for the first time, Master Lu’s eyes were red.

The moment she spoke, Lu Yan thought about how high the wall should be.

Four years later, on the Spring Festival, Lu Yan finally took a break, and he took his wife and children to the streets together.

Seeing Jing Zhao Yin and Sun Xu cursing in the middle of Sixth Street, he couldn’t help but curl his lips.

Meng Wei is still Shaoyin, but the pronoun has been removed, and his salary has also doubled.

There was constant noise, and the officer said to Sun Xu: “My lord, the eldest son of Huaixibo Mansion has just separated from the maidservant in the mansion, and he is missing now.”

Sun Xu took a deep breath.

Before exhaling it, the other officer said again: “My lord! The stage on the other side of the West Market has collapsed, and many people are trapped inside.”

…

Shen Zhen led Lu Changan to the front, stopped in front of a stall, and chose a safety lantern.

Lu Yan held Lu Jingshu with one hand, and the little daughter put her arms around his neck, “I want it too.”

Lu Yan said: “Okay.”

At this moment, the fireworks bloomed above his head, and Shen Zhen looked back at him, blushing and said: “My money bag has fallen out, come here.”

Lu Yan stood still in the distance, smiling at her.

She thought he hadn’t heard, so she shook her hand at him.

Suddenly, the wind rose, her voice echoed in her ears.

The concubine immediately enters the central office to govern before seeing the emperor, and becomes a generation of virtuous ministers. Zhangwa is full, with children around his knees, and his name is Chang’an and Jingshu.

The silly voice smiles, the sound is especially in my ears.

If there is an afterlife, I hope you can be like in a dream, with smiles, and everything goes well…

Lu Yan walked over.

This life is full of wishes.
