Chapter 0127 Two Months
Xiao Rong was only genuinely worried for a minute at most, and then he realized that he was overthinking. It was not easy to find a person as crazy as Yuan Baifu in the world, and if there was another one, then there would be something wrong with the feng shui of the Zhenbei Army. …
After finding out about the latest situation, he learned that the army had already entered the city and the people had followed them. The city gate gradually became quiet. Zhang Biezhi ordered two carriages to be brought and sent everyone back in a low-key manner.
As the saying goes, one becomes homesick when close to home. After getting off the carriage, Xiao Rong took a deep breath and looked at the plaque of the palace that he had personally commissioned to be carved. Then he stepped inside.
Xiao Yi and others had been here since early in the morning. As they were Xiao Rong's family members but not officials of Chenliu, they did not go to the city gate to greet him. When the news of the army's triumphant return came a month ago, Xiao Yi happily went to clean up the house for his brother, and he didn't even need Ashu to help. Who would have known that a whole month had passed, with bad news, good news, and bad news coming in turn, tormenting Xiao Yi so much that he didn't know how he survived.
Finally seeing Xiao Rong appear in front of him, Xiao Yi wanted to behave like an adult, but his nose felt sore, his eyes turned red, and he just cried like a loser.
He rushed towards Xiao Rong. Xiao Rong was stunned for a moment, then he immediately prepared himself and successfully caught Xiao Yi's small body. Listening to the boy's sobbing, Xiao Rong patted his back and said, "Okay, I'm back, aren't I?"
In comparison, Ashu performed better than Xiao Yi. Ashu used to be a crybaby, but today he just looked at Xiao Rong with sobs and did not really shed tears.
A separation made Ashu grow a lot. This sentence is true not only symbolically but also literally.
Xiao Rong also wanted to comfort Ah Shu, but he looked up in amazement and stammered, "Ah, Ah Shu, you've grown taller again?"
Ah Shu sniffed and lowered his head shyly: "Master, you have a good eye. I have grown an inch taller."
Xiao Rong: “…………”
How long has he been gone? Just two months?! ...
When the news of the first triumphant return of the army came back, Xiao Yi excitedly told Chen. At that time, Chen was also very happy and asked Xiao Yi where the army was every day. Later, Yuan Baifu rebelled, and the king and Xiao Rong rushed to Ningzhou to quell the rebellion. Xiao Yi was afraid that Chen would worry and did not dare to tell her about it. Later, the news of Xiao Rong being kidnapped came. Although the news of Xiao Rong being rescued came soon after, Xiao Yi still did not dare to say a word. He was afraid of other accidents.
Xiao Yi was in a bad mood during that period, and the atmosphere in the palace was extremely solemn and everyone was very busy. As usual, Chen went to ask Xiao Yi where Xiao Rong was. Xiao Yi lied to her twice, and perhaps she realized something, so she stopped asking.
It was pointless for Xiao Rong to ask Zhang Biezhi about Chen's situation. Zhang Biezhi was busy too, so how could he know what was going on in the backyard? Moreover, he didn't know Chen at all. In his opinion, Chen was fine, but in Xiao Yi's eyes, Chen was too calm, too normal, which was actually abnormal.
But Xiao Yi didn't have the energy to worry about her. After all, his grandmother was right in front of him, but he didn't know whether his elder brother was alive or dead.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Rong was a little silent. No one else had returned yet, and the palace was quite quiet. Xiao Rong decided to go see the old lady himself. Before leaving, he remembered and asked the others, "Where are Miss Danran and Madam Sang?"
Xiao Yi replied: "In the wounded camp in the city, there are not enough doctors in the city, so they went to help."
Xiao Rong nodded and left. *
On the way to find Chen, Xiao Rong couldn't help but think of his grandmother in modern times.
She was a business woman who was actually in her sixties but looked less than fifty. She was domineering, strong, wealthy, and a little scary.
His father was not an only child, so he was certainly not the only grandson. His impression of that grandmother was always that she was rich, liked to give red envelopes, and after giving them, she would ask about his grades and how many courses he had taken outside of school.
Everyone has a different personality, and this grandmother is treating him well in her own way. Theirs is a family with relatively weak family affection. Xiao Rong is already very lucky as he has no troubles and no unfair treatment.
As for Chen... she became her own grandmother without knowing it. In her mind, she was more of an image than a specific person. Chen remembered that she had a grandson, but she couldn't remember what he looked like or what his personality was. This allowed Xiao Rong to take advantage of the situation. When facing Chen, he could treat this as a job. The job content was to play the role of Chen's eldest grandson, and the reward for the job was that he didn't have to be questioned about his origins by others.
But it is not so easy for people to get along with each other. Xiao Rong is not good enough, but not bad enough either, so he always plays the role and ends up losing himself. This has almost become his behavior pattern. …
Pushing open the door, Xiao Rong saw Chen sitting on the bed sewing something. He hesitated for a moment, as if he was afraid of scaring Chen, and said in a low voice: "Grandma, I'm back."
Chen paused in her acupuncture and looked up. After seeing that it was Xiao Rong, she quickly put down the embroidery frame and said, "Rong'er is back. Have you had dinner yet?"
Xiao Rong shook his head reflexively: "No...ah?"
He was ready for Chen to hold him and cry for a whole day and night, but he didn't expect to hear such a sentence. When she heard him say no, Chen smiled at him and said, "Wait a minute, grandma will make you noodle soup. You want two poached eggs, right?"
Xiao Rong nodded blankly: "Yes."
Chen trotted all the way to the kitchen and brought back a bowl of noodles in less than half a minute. Xiao Rong still didn't react, but under Chen's eager gaze, he sat down and ate the noodles inexplicably.
Once he stopped and looked at Chen in a strange way, Chen would urge him: "Eat, eat."
Xiao Rong: “…”
He lowered his head and continued eating. After finishing the bowl of noodles, he did not dare to ask Chen whether she remembered what happened before. The maid took the bowl away. Xiao Rong stayed here for a while. When Xiao Yi came back, he saw that Chen had no intention of keeping him, so he left in confusion.
There were too many noodles and he felt a little full. Returning to his residence, Xiao Rong sat down and felt the beauty of the luxury goods. Suddenly, he thought of something. He stood up and walked to the wardrobe in the distance. He pulled open the door of the wardrobe with force and was surprised by the full clothes inside.
There was another place to store valuable clothes. This cabinet was only used to store Xiao Rong's underwear and ordinary clothes. There were not many pieces in it originally. Later, Ah Shu packed them up and let him take them away. Half of them were empty all of a sudden. Now it was filled up again. Xiao Rong picked up the top set and looked at the pattern that was exactly the same as the one Chen had just embroidered. Xiao Rong touched the fine stitches on the fabric, lowered his eyes slightly, and put it back after a long time. *
Chenliu was still in good order without him, and although his relatives were worried about him, they were fine.
Between going to find Song Shuo right away and taking a nap to replenish his energy, Xiao Rong chose the latter.
Song Suo didn't come to greet them, nor did he show up in the palace. It was clear that he was going to lose his temper. Without good physical strength, he probably couldn't stand up to him, so Xiao Rong wisely chose to rest. As for the fact that the longer he delayed, the angrier Song Suo would get... No matter what, everyone has a temper. ...
After taking a nap for half an hour, when he woke up, Ah Shu quickly brought him a cup of tea. While he was drinking the tea to wake himself up, Ah Shu asked him what he wanted to eat in the evening, roasted pork? Braised pancakes with mutton oil? Or steamed cabbage with duck skin.
Xiao Rong almost burst into tears when he heard Ah Shu announce the dishes. He raised his head and sincerely sighed to Ah Shu: "It's good to be home."
Seeing this, Ashu slowly pursed his lips. I understand.
I will do it all over again! I will make up for all the sufferings that Langzhu has gone through! ...
After the army returned triumphantly, people who wanted to see Qu Yunmie and Xiao Rong almost broke down the threshold of the palace. Qu Yunmie did not let these people disturb Xiao Rong. He met those he could meet himself, and asked Gao Xunzhi to meet those he could not meet.
Even though he was tired, he patiently listened to everyone's words because they were all his people.
