marry a princess

Chapter 227

General's House.

Yuan Hongyu and Yuan Hongjin sat at the table, drinking tea and chatting casually: Bai Zinan and Xiao He sat across from them, drinking tea, but kept silent: Su Yan stood by the door, silently watching I don't know what to think.

And Rue Xiang walked back and forth in the house, opened the room to look outside from time to time, or sighed heavily, her expression was full of anxiety and worry.

"Ruxiang, what are you doing walking around? Can you stop and rest, I'm dizzy from the shaking." Yuan Hongyu frowned and pressed his temple.

When Yun Xiang heard the words, she stopped, turned around, walked over a few steps and said, "The master hasn't come back yet, isn't the prince worried at all?"

"Don't worry, with Fifth Brother here, sister-in-law will be fine." Yuan Hongjin put down the tea bowl, looked at Yunxiang, and said leisurely.

It was because of him that she was not at ease.The master hadn't lived a single day of comfort since he married him. He was either ridiculed or hunted down. After several life and death, he was finally humiliated.Master went out with him today, I don't know what will happen.

Looking at the increasingly dark sky outside the window, Rue Xiang's heart became more and more uneasy, she should go with the master.

Someone reported outside the house, "My lord, the food is ready, should I bring it to the house now?"

"Send it to my room." Yuan Hongjin replied loudly, sweeping away the others, "Let's go, go to my room to have dinner first."

Yun Xiang frowned, "I don't know where the master has gone, yet you guys still want to eat? If you want to eat, you can eat it yourself."

"Where are you going?" Xiao He grabbed Yun Xiang, turned around to block her, and said, "Even if you are worried about the master, you can't go out now, the city gate has been closed."

"I..." Yun Xiang paused, then bowed to Yuan Hongjin, and said, "I beg the Sixth Prince to let them open the city gate. I want to go out of the city to find my master."

Yuan Hongjin got up and walked over, and said, "There are rules in the army, and the key is not allowed to open at sunset unless there are special circumstances. Besides, so what if I let them open the city gate? You don't even know where your sister-in-law is, so how can you get out of the city?" try to find."

"That……"

Seeing this, Su Yan came over and whispered a few words to Yun Xiang. Yun Xiang opened her eyes wide and looked at her as if confirming, "Su Yan, is what you just said true?" Master is wearing a hidden weapon?Why doesn't she know?
Su Yan nodded firmly.

The night is hazy, and the crescent moon is like a hook.

Yuan Hongyi hugged Bai Ziwan, rode a horse, and walked all the way under the thin moonlight.The night breeze caressed his cheeks, leaving a refreshing chill.The horseshoe clattered, composing a different movement in the silent night.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, Bai Ziwan pointed to the courtyard ahead, tilted her head and said, "Let's go over and ask if we can stay overnight."

Yuan Hongyi nodded in agreement, and went over with his horse.When he saw the thatched hut appearing in front of him, he couldn't help frowning.

"Wait, I'll go down and ask." After finishing speaking, Bai Ziwan took away the big hands that wrapped around her waist, and wanted to jump down.

But he was grabbed by Yuan Hongyi with sharp eyesight and quick hands, and said, "Awan, let's go to the front to see, maybe there are other people." He knew the purpose of Awan's doing this, but the hut was too simple, and he didn't want to She wronged herself for him.

Bai Ziwan looked at him with a tilted head and smiled, and said jokingly, "Why, our Lord Ningqing doesn't want to live in such a simple house? I don't know if he will let you live in it!" Without any explanation, he pulled his hand away and jumped off the horse , and walked over to the hut.

It's not that he didn't see the pity and unbearable in his eyes, but, although they are dressed like ordinary people now, Yuan Hongjie was let go by Yuan Hongyi and his brothers, so he really shouldn't do it when he returns to the capital, in order to avoid complications , or be careful.

She didn't understand that the first queen was murdered by the Luo family, and Yuan Hongjie was the son of the Luo family, and he was unfavorable to him several times. He wanted to get rid of him and then quickly, and his ambition was even more obvious. And he could take advantage of this to get rid of him, but Just let him go.

Bai Ziwan unconsciously turned his head and glanced at Yuan Hongyi who had already got off his horse, and pursed his lips into a smile. After all, he was not a really vicious person after all.

The courtyard is a bit big, but only the room in front of it is faintly lit, Bai Ziwan shouted, "Excuse me, is anyone at home?"

As soon as the voice fell, a small figure quickly jumped out of the house, ran out, opened the wooden fence door, looked at them with his head tilted, and said, "Who are you?"

Borrowing the faint moonlight, Bai Ziwan took a quick look at the little girl in front of her. The little girl was about five or six years old. Her hair was disheveled, and her cotton-padded jacket was worn and patched, but her big watery eyes shone like jewels. Brighten.

Bai Ziwan bent slightly, touched the little girl's head, and asked with a smile, "Little sister, are you at home alone?"

"My father and mother are here too." The little girl turned her head and shouted into the room, "Father, mother, a big sister is looking for you."

A man and a woman came out of the house, looked at the two of them, and looked at each other. They didn't remember knowing each other.

"I don't know who the girl is..." The woman looked at Bai Ziwan puzzled.

Bai Ziwan pulled Yuan Hongyi forward with his backhand, and said with a slight smile, "I don't know if sister-in-law can make it easier for us, husband and wife, to stay overnight."

The woman looked distressed, turned her eyes to look at the man, and said, "If the girl doesn't dislike our shabby house, come in." She pulled the little girl aside.They are plainly dressed, but they have excellent temperament, unlike ordinary young couples.

"Then we'll interrupt."

"Ah Wan..."

Without waiting for Yuan Hongyi to stop him, Bai Ziwan left him alone, led the horse to the side and tied it, and followed the family of three into the house. Yuan Hongyi shook his head helplessly and had no choice but to follow in.

"Girl, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? Wait, I'll go to the kitchen and get you something to eat." The woman lifted the curtain and went outside.

Bai Ziwan looked around the room, the room was not big, the window on the right side was tightly covered with paper, not a breath of wind could come in.The low table next to the bed was mottled. There were a teapot, several tea bowls and an oil lamp on the table, which illuminated the room, but the light was dim.

The man was 27 or [-] years old, wearing old blue clothes, with an ordinary appearance and an honest look.After entering the room, he walked straight to the table and sat on the low stool, hanging down, with a somewhat reserved expression.The little girl brought two low stools in front of them, blinked her big bright eyes at them for a while, covered her mouth with a smile, turned around, crawled into the man's arms and sat there, her eyes still staring at them for a moment. They are shining with curiosity.

"There's nothing good in the countryside," the woman said, bringing in the food and putting it down. "We grow the lettuce, soybeans, and sweet potatoes, and we also make the tofu. Let me use them first, and I'll make the beds for you." .”

Bai Ziwan said gratefully, "Thank you, sister-in-law, for your trouble."

After the meal, the woman lit another oil lamp and took the two of them to the house. This room was even narrower than the room just now, and the windows were still tightly closed with paper. Except for a bed against the wall, There are no other decorations.

"The quilt on the bed is clean, the girl can rest assured." The woman said to Bai Ziwan after pulling the quilt.

Bai Ziwan knew what she was worried about, but she didn't know how to speak, so she changed the subject and said, "I don't know your sister-in-law's name, how should I call her?"

The woman grinned and said, "My maiden name is Chen, and my husband's family name is Zhang. The neighbors nearby call me Mrs. Zhang."

The clothes were pulled lightly, and she turned her head. When she saw the little girl standing beside her, Bai Ziwan couldn't help squatting down, and said with a smile, "Little sister, what's the matter?"

"My name is Xinwan."

"Your name is Xinwan?" Bai Ziwan still smiled and said softly, "Then can you tell sister, which Wan are you?"

The little girl tilted her head and thought for a while, "Mother said, it's gentle and gentle. What about my sister, what's her name?"

"Wan'er, don't be unreasonable." Mrs. Zhang cast a reproachful glance at her daughter, and said to Bai Ziwan, "Both her father and I are illiterate, and the village chief got Wan'er's name."

"Your name sounds nice." Bai Ziwan patted Zhang Xinwan's small face and said, "My sister also has the character Wan in her name, which is the character Wan."

"Then Xinwan calls you Sister Wan, okay?" Before Bai Ziwan could reply, Zhang Xinwan stretched out her small hand and said, "Sister Wan, here are the sweet potatoes."

Seeing the hope in her eyes, Bai Ziwan said, "Sister Wan is already full, leave this sweet potato for you to eat."

Seeing Bai Ziwan chatting with the mother and daughter, Yuan Hongyi couldn't describe his mood at this moment, was he disappointed?Are you happy?Is it helpless?Or is there something else?In the past few years, they first looked at each other indifferently due to a misunderstanding, A Wan was arrested, the misunderstanding was resolved, but they were forced to separate because of the war.

Now, when he came back, Ah Wan avoided seeing him, hot and cold, and today she took the initiative to ask him to accompany her out.Her smile was a brilliance he had never seen before, and her initiative made him elated, but he felt something was wrong.

"I'll keep it and eat it tomorrow." The little man hugged the sweet potato in his arms, grinning, revealing two small canine teeth, really cute.

Raising her eyes inadvertently, she saw a icy winter glare coming in. Zhang's face froze slightly, and she hurriedly said, "It's getting late, so don't disturb the young lady to rest." , took her daughter to go outside the house.

Seeing the mother and daughter rushing out of the house, Bai Ziwan turned his head to look, shook his head, sighed, stood up, and said, "It's all right now, people were scared away by you."

"You're angry?"

"I'm not angry. We stayed at someone's house, but the master was scared away by you, you said..." Before she finished speaking, she couldn't help but chuckled, and joked, "I just found out today that our fifth prince actually It’s as frightening as it is.” After finishing speaking, he closed the door and walked over to the bed.

"Then are you afraid of me?" Yuan Hongyi asked while hugging Bai Ziwan from behind.Without waiting for her answer, she continued, "Awan, you won't leave me, will you?"

Bai Ziwan's body trembled almost imperceptibly, hummed softly, and then said, "It's getting late, go to bed and rest."

Thinking about what happened to the two of them during the day, and now with a beautiful woman in his arms, how could he sit still in his arms.He couldn't help but hugged her tightly, and whispered in her ear, "Awan, I..."

Sensing the changes in his body, Bai Ziwan took away his hand that was slowly moving down, tilted her head slightly and said, "I'm tired, go to sleep."

Hearing the exhaustion in her voice, Yuan Hongyi let out a sigh of disappointment, agreed, hugged her, and had a good night's sleep.
