Chapter 18 The call of the capital
"Xi'er, did I teach you how to read when you were a child?" Long Xinyu continued to ask.
"Yes, Miss, you have really forgotten that when Xi'er first came to accompany you, he was accompanying you to junior high school!" Xi'er looked at Long Xinyu in surprise. During those days, she was
It was the most comfortable, relaxing and unforgettable time. It was also a period when her relationship with the young lady developed rapidly. She will never forget it in her life.
"Oh, I remembered it!" After Xi'er's prompting, Long Xinyu did dig out the vague memories of her childhood in her mind. However, when she was seven years old, she had already returned to the border. It seems that she and Tong Luofeng were young.
The story happened before she was seven years old.
As for Xi'er, since she has been accompanying and serving him since then, she must have learned a lot of knowledge along the way, otherwise she wouldn't be so smart.
Thinking of this, Long Xinyu thought about it carefully and said:
"Xi'er, if the general really gets the emperor's grace, will you resign and return to your hometown with us?" Long Xinyu looked at Xi'er's expression thoughtfully. She really wanted to know what this girl was thinking. If she was like this
Living in this era all her life, it is not a bad thing to have such a trustworthy person like a sister by her side, but she cannot let Xi'er stay with her and not marry because of her selfish desires.
!
Long Xinyu, who still maintains modern concepts, obviously has not thought that there will be many women in this era who will serve their masters loyally and remain single until they grow old.
"Miss, Xi'er will follow you in this life. No matter where you are, even if you marry someone else, Xi'er will follow you and never marry!" Xi'er suddenly knelt in front of Long Xinyu's bed.
, said firmly.
"Xi'er, get up quickly..." Long Xinyu felt helpless at her current posture of kneeling down at every turn.
"No, if Miss doesn't agree to let Xi'er follow you all her life, Xi'er won't get up!"
"Okay, okay, Xi'er, I promise you!" Long Xinyu was a little depressed. Is this a threat?
"Thank you, miss, thank you, miss!" Xi'er stood up with a happy face and walked back happily carrying the empty medicine bowl, but was suddenly choked by Long Xinyu's words.
"Xi'er, even if you stay with me, you can still get married..." Long Xinyu said with a faint smile. In her heart, she felt that getting married should be the greatest gift from a master to his servants.
But unexpectedly, Xi'er suddenly turned around and knelt down again with a plop.
The hard and crisp sound made Long Xinyu's eardrums roar!
"No! Miss! Xi'er will never marry, never!"
Looking at Xi'er's rising and falling chest, Long Xi'er was a little dazed. He had mentioned that Xi'er would get married once before, but it was obvious that Xi'er didn't take it seriously at that time. But at this moment, Xi'er seemed to know what she wanted.
I thought, he refused so firmly.
This kid...does he have a shadow over the affairs between men and women?
Long Xinyu suddenly remembered Nie Shaolai. She had become his girlfriend in order to repay him for his kindness, life-saving, and nurturing. But every time he wanted to be intimate with her, she felt an instinctive desire in her heart.
The meaning of resistance.
She didn't know the reason why Nie Shao never forced himself. Most likely, he always thought that he had a conservative personality and would wait until marriage before accepting him. Now that she thought about it carefully, Long Xinyu suddenly wasn't so sure that she would have done it if she were still in modern times.
Will really marry Nie Shao.
"Okay, Xi'er, I won't force you. I just want to make you a promise today. If you meet your Mr. Right, you must tell me. Miss, I hope you are happy!"
"Miss...I understand!" Xi'er looked like he was hesitant to speak and wanted to refute, but in the end he reluctantly nodded, turned and left.
Xi'er, this is it, keep your opinions deep in your heart!
Seeing this, Long Xinyu could only smile bitterly. The foolish loyalty of ancient people is really touching!
She didn't know whether it was because of the medicine she had taken, or because the conversation with Xi'er was a little troublesome, but Long Xinyu just felt dizzy, her head was confused, and she finally fell asleep.
"General, look, the lady is in such a condition that she may have to leave later!" A vague voice suddenly sounded, waking up Long Xinyu who was almost asleep.
Let's set off, where are we going? She thought sleepily.
"I don't think it's possible to set off later. I'm going to send someone a reply to explain the situation here. I think my father will understand. Besides, being ten days and a half late won't delay my father's birthday." She understood now.
I recognized Tong Luofeng's voice.
It's his father's birthday? Long Xinyu was suddenly excited. Is he leaving, going back to celebrate the emperor's birthday?
Now that she was nervous, she completely woke up. She didn't want to lie down and pretend to be asleep and eavesdrop. This was not her character. If she had anything, she could just ask. I believed that Amma and Tong Luofeng would not hide anything from her.
"Amma, what happened?" Long Xinyu rubbed her eyes and struggled.
"Sister Yu'er, it's okay. Don't be nervous. It's just that my father's birthday is coming soon and he wants to recruit the general back to the capital!" Tong Luofeng seemed to understand what Long Xinyu was nervous about and quickly explained with a smile.
"Ah! Oh!" Long Xinyu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the general was being recruited back to the capital, but the next second, she immediately became nervous again.
"How long will Ama have to go? Your Majesty's birthday, brother Luo Feng, you should also be returning to Beijing, right?"
"Haha, Yu'er, don't worry, the emperor has issued a decree to recruit the second prince back to the capital. My husband has also made meritorious service for solving the sand bandit incident. The emperor has decided to let us return to the capital as military meritorious service, and the border crossing will be convenient.
Leave it to the next generation to protect her!" Long Qingshan looked at Long Xinyu with a smile. At this moment, his daughter's expression of not being able to bear to be separated from Tong Luofeng could not escape the eyes of his father.
"Oh, that's it..." Long Xinyu smiled sheepishly, and suddenly felt disappointed. She had finally become familiar with this land, and now she had to leave again?
Long Xinyu has a somewhat conservative character and is nostalgic in her bones. She is reluctant to leave a place where she has stayed for a long time. This may be due to the psychological shadow formed when she was an orphan as a child. It is because of this that she has been able to live without anything for so long.
Leave Nie Shao, even if there is no love.
"Sister Yu'er, you haven't recovered yet. We can set off later. You can pack the things you want to take away these days. Maybe once we leave, we won't come back!"
"Yeah!" Long Xinyu replied absentmindedly, then went back to bed in a dull tone.
Seeing this, Long Qingshan and Tong Luofeng also left her room.
In the impressions of Long Qingshan and Tong Luofeng, Long Xinyu, who has been without a mother since she was a child, is also extremely nostalgic.
The night fell with Long Xinyu's hesitation and emotion.
Xi'er went back and forth several times and saw Long Xinyu lying still on the bed, so he didn't disturb her.
Capital, this is a word that makes Long Xinyu a little worried. No matter which dynasty it is, even in this unknown time and space, Capital still clearly represents two words: complicated.
Having protected many powerful people in modern missions, Long Xinyu understands the depth of complexity brought about by power.
Although she has special skills and a lot of combat experience, she has never stood at the pinnacle of power or seen things from the upper echelons. She has always felt that such a laborious and troublesome class is not suitable for her.
But now, thinking of Tong Luofeng, she had the urge to step into this restricted area at all costs.
I, am I really in love with Tong Luofeng?
Long Xinyu fell asleep again, doubting whether love had come unexpectedly.
After several days of full sleep, Long Xinyu finally walked out of the house where she had been trapped for many days, refreshed.
The sunshine in late spring was bright. After arriving at the General's Mansion for such a long time, she didn't even have time to walk through the land that had raised her for so many years. She suddenly felt a little regretful that she was about to leave.
The scenery in the border area has a different style compared to the modern suburbs.
Long Xinyu decided to use the little time left to write down everything on this land.
Thinking of this, she walked out, planning to go around the General's Mansion and then go to the city to survey the people's sentiments.
"Miss, where are you going?" Xi'er, who was walking in the distance to deliver breakfast to Long Xinyu, saw Long Xinyu walking out and quickly chased after her.
"Xi'er, I want to go out for a walk!"
"Ah? Miss, but your body..."
"I'm fine now, Xi'er, look how good I look. I've been bored in the house these past few days, and now I just want to go out and breathe some fresh air." Long Xinyu smiled but expressed firmly.
own meaning.
"Okay, but miss, if you go out like this..." Xi'er shook his head and looked at Long Xinyu, and suddenly smiled and said: "Miss, come with me quickly!"
"What's wrong?" Looking at Xi'er's mysterious smile, Long Xinyu followed her involuntarily.
Walking to the backyard of the General's Mansion, she felt that the surrounding houses were where servants lived, and Long Xinyu looked around curiously.
"Miss, come here quickly!" Xi'er waved to her at the door of a tidy-looking room.
Long Xinyu walked over in confusion. This seemed to be Xi'er's residence. What did she want to do?
I saw Xi'er getting into the inner room, and after a while, she ran out with a bunch of things in her hands and a smile.
"Miss, do you still remember? When the emperor and the seventh prince came to the border to express condolences to the general the year before last, the general did not allow the young lady to follow him. However, in order to have a look at the emperor, the young lady secretly changed into a servant's attire and went with Xi'er.
She slipped out. At that time, the young lady was not yet an adult and could not step out of the boudoir!"
Ah, is there such a thing? Long Xinyu searched carefully in her memory, but couldn't find any relevant memories at all. She could only smile perfunctorily and thought, "The servant's clothes were the same as Ama's last time."
