Hello Chang’an

Chapter 77 If I had known he was coming, I would not have come

 When a sacrificial object is lit, it will be illuminated in all directions.

Xi'er took the mat and placed it in front of her girl.

Chang Suining hesitated for a moment, but she never knelt down - it would be okay for her to kneel down for Ah Li's late biological mother, but she was afraid that the other party would be frightened again.

So he sat down on the mat and put paper money into the copper basin in front of him.

Chang Sui'an squatted aside and helped her cook, and asked in a low voice: "Ning Ning, since you saw your biological mother in your dream, have you asked when your birthday is?"

Chang Suining: "...I didn't ask."

This dream was not that detailed.

Chang Sui'an hurriedly explained: "Then you must remember to ask next time, and I will give you a birthday party later!"

Sisters from other families all receive birthday gifts, but his sister never has birthdays due to her unlucky birthdays - the young man has always been worried about this.

Chang Suining nodded: "Okay."

If Mother A Li still dares to come to her dream—

Chang Sui'an couldn't wait to say: "We will hold a birthday banquet at Ningning and invite all the ladies from the capital. Brother, I will make up for the birthday gifts for you for the past sixteen years!"

Chang Suining nodded again.

This is easy to say.

She would just go back and pick a day she liked.

no…

Just liking it is not enough.

Chang Suining looked at the fire in front of him, thought about it, and decided to find an opportunity to use the most prosperous and powerful horoscope from Wujue.

This time when she lives her life again, her fate should be in her own hands. She has the final say as to what her fate will be in this life.

While she was thinking about it, the hand that was holding the mace to stir up the brazier's fuel suddenly paused. She suddenly turned her head to look at the vegetation behind her under the dark night, and said firmly: "Dad, it seems that someone -"

Chang Kuo, who was standing aside with his hands behind his hands, looked over after her and said doubtfully: "No."

Chang Suining asked cautiously: "Could it be an assassin who sneaked into the house?"

Chang Kuo laughed: "How could there be any assassin? Which blind assassin dares to come to our house?"

Chang Suining looked at the overly arrogant Chang Kuo suspiciously: "Dad, didn't you ask anyone to check it out?"

"You kid is quite vigilant!" Chang Kuo stroked his beard and said happily: "Well... it's always a good thing to be cautious."

Changsui Ning is silent.

You can say a few more words to prevent people from running far enough.

"Old Bai, take someone to take a look." Chang Kuo then waved his hand and told Bai Guanshi.

Manager Bai responded "Yes" and took a few servants to check before turning back: "General, we didn't find any suspicious traces."

Chang Kuo then smiled at his daughter: "How about it, Dad just said there is no one?"

Chang Suining nodded.

It doesn't matter, as long as he is happy acting.

She didn't bother to expose it, and continued to burn a lot of paper money - if she didn't burn such a large amount, she might not be able to burn it all tonight.

Chang Kuo said on the other side: "My father has to go to court early tomorrow, so he will go back first... Sui'an, you stay with Ning Ning."

Chang Sui'an nodded in agreement.

Chang Kuo then left seemingly leisurely.

After the figure was out of sight of his children, he walked quickly and hurried back to the residence.

At the end of the dim corridor, a dark figure stood.

Chang Kuo walked into the corridor alone and said angrily: "What are you doing here again? This is the General's Mansion, not the West Market... You can come when you want and leave when you want?"

The figure in black turned around, but she looked like a woman. She raised her hand and saluted Chang Kuo, and said solemnly: "My master asked me to bring a message to General Chang. The general returned to the capital in victory this time. I heard that someone I secretly want to send the concubine and the general away, but the general is already at his age and he should keep himself clean. It is not appropriate to bring those unruly girls home, which will only cause trouble. "

"She doesn't care about me!" Chang Kuoru said like a big furry cat: "I can do whatever I want!"

The woman looked at him: "General, do you want to bring your beautiful concubine in?"

"Nonsense, of course I... don't want to!" Chang Kuo waved his sleeves heavily: "Tell her, I don't want to take a beautiful concubine because I am too lazy to deal with it, not because I am afraid of her!"

Woman in black: "... Got it."

"If you have nothing else to do, leave quickly." Chang Kuo sneered: "Even my daughter could detect the movement just now. Her people are getting worse and worse."

Speaking of this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across the face of the woman in black.

She was obviously very careful and didn't make any sound at all. How could she be discovered by that little girl?

She couldn't answer this, so she could only take out a porcelain bottle and put it on the railing of the corridor nearby: "This is what the master asked me to hand over. When the general's leg disease attacks on rainy days, taking one pill can relieve the pain."

Chang Kuo looked over and spat: "The weasel paid New Year's greetings to the rooster... It's unkind! Who cares about her things? Take it away!"

The woman reluctantly took the things back.

Chang Kuo: "?"

You really should take it away, right?

"Come on, let's tell her, don't bother me with such big things anymore!" He began to chase people away impatiently, turned around and cursed: "...It's really a waste of time! You're like a liar! If you give her three points, you'll never end it with me!"

The woman rubbed her tortured ears, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

And it was foreseeable that she would have to go through the same torture again after telling her master these words.

The woman who was about to leave the same way thought of something, paused, and changed her path.

In the garden, Chang Sui Ning, who was numb from burning paper money, yawned.

Yawning is contagious, so Chang Sui'an also yawned and burst into tears.

He rubbed his eyes and gradually lowered his head.

Chang Suining noticed something was wrong, raised his eyes and looked at him, and couldn't help but be startled: "Brother, why are you crying?"

"I miss my grandma too..." The young man's voice was hoarse and choked with sobs.

He was just yawning, but as he rubbed his eyes, he suddenly felt something.

"I don't even know what my grandma looks like." The young man wiped his tears with the back of his hand.

Chang Suining couldn't help raising her hand and patted his shoulder.

Speaking of which, she didn't know what Chang Sui'an's mother-in-law was like. Chang Kuo was born in a rough place and had been single in his thirties. Until one time, he suddenly came back with a baby that was still sucking milk and said it was his son. .

I have a son, but what about my wife?

After asking, I found out that my daughter-in-law had died in childbirth.

According to him, his wife was chosen by his family long ago, and he had forgotten about it. When he returned to his hometown last time, he found out that she had been waiting for him, so he kowtowed to get married. He was busy fighting the war.

When he returned to his hometown again, he was about to take him to the capital, only to realize that he was gone and only a child was left.

As he said this, he held the baby in one hand and took out a memorial tablet for his deceased wife with the other hand.

Looking at the sudden appearance of the tablet, everyone was silent.

Thousands of words can only be reduced to one sentence - my brothers and sisters are suffering.

Chang Kuo held a grand funeral for his deceased wife.

So, before everyone had time to drink the wedding wine, they sat down to eat the funeral banquet. In addition to the tragedy of this incident, there was also a hint of haste and outrageousness, but since the deceased was so important, they all made a tacit agreement not to inquire more.

As for whether the child is Chang Chang, no one has the slightest doubt. One is out of respect, and the other is based on the fact that the father and son are like a big buffalo holding a calf. No one believes them if they say they are not biological.

"And grandma never comes to my dreams..." Chang Sui'an felt aggrieved: "Does she not like me?"

"How could anyone not like my brother?" Chang Suining thought for a while and asked, "Has my brother ever had the kind of dream where he wakes up and doesn't remember anything?"

Chang Sui'an nodded towards her with tears in his eyes.

"That means people who miss us secretly came to see us in our dreams." Chang Sui Ning took his mace and flipped the paper money slowly, and said seriously: "But we are afraid that we will be too indulging in our dreams. When we wake up, He would be sad, so he asked us to forget everything before leaving. "

"In that case... Grandma comes to see me every day!" Chang Sui'an's eyes suddenly brightened: "I almost don't remember what dreams I have had every day!"

Chang Suining: "..." He was sleeping quite deeply.

"It's almost the Qingming Festival, and it's time to go to my grandma's grave to pay her respects." Chang Sui'an felt much better and asked casually: "Ning Ning, do you want to go with me?"

Chang Suining nodded: "Okay."

"Then let's go tomorrow..." Chang Sui'an said, then paused: "We can't do it tomorrow. There are guests at home tomorrow."

Chang Suining looked at him: "Are you visiting?"

"It's Governor Cui." Chang Sui'an said: "Didn't I invite Governor Cui to have a drink at Dayun Temple before returning to Beijing? Yesterday, my father sent someone to send a message to Xuance Mansion. Governor Cui I’ve called someone back, and I’ll come to you tomorrow—”

Chang Suining nodded clearly.

It was the time Cui Jing helped her in the temple. Chang Kuo said that he would serve wine to express his gratitude after returning to Beijing.

The two of them are both teachers and friends, and they are colleagues who have lived together through life and death. That is to say, Cui Jing has a somewhat cold temperament and does not like to interact with others. Otherwise, it is normal for them to get together for drinks every now and then.

Since the other party finally came to visit, and the banquet was held to help her, even out of etiquette, it was not appropriate for her and Chang Sui Anzi to choose to go out at this time.

The brother and sister agreed to go out to the city to worship and sweep the day after tomorrow.

After agreeing, the two of them yawned one after another.

After finally burning the things, Chang Suining returned to the courtyard with the smell of incense. After washing, he fell asleep and got up as usual to go to the martial arts field the next day.

Chu Xing looked at the figure of the girl riding the green donkey and felt particularly good - probably because he had experienced the pain of almost losing it yesterday, and now he felt that it was even more precious.

He even brought two colleagues from the mansion over here today. The name was "Girls are coming forward, please give me some pointers." In fact, it was "Look, this is my disciple who was taught by Chu Xing! Hehe, I There are apprentices, but you don’t have any?”—

Faced with his secretly showing off, the two generals smiled on the outside but cursed in their hearts.

At this time, one of them looked serious: "Hey, why is Governor Cui here?"

With that said, he hurried forward.

Chu Xing looked over and saw that it was indeed Cui Jing.

"I'm not lying to you, everyone is here at this hour!" A Dian, who pulled Cui Jing over, pointed at the Chang family brothers and sisters on the martial arts field and said.

Chang Kuo had not returned from the court at this time. Cui Jing was different from Chang Kuo. He was on duty at Xuance Mansion and was specially allowed not to attend the court every day unless he was summoned.

Chang Suining heard the commotion here and was a little surprised to see Cui Jing coming here.

The martial arts arena was in the front yard, so there was nothing wrong with him coming here. She was surprised that he came so early.

I thought that since he was busy with work, he would probably come over for lunch, so he didn't wait in the front hall too early. At this time, asking the guests to come to the martial arts arena seemed like they were not entertaining them well.

Chang Suining finished the lap and stopped not far in front of Cui Jing.

Cui Jing then saw the girl wearing a sky blue robe and her black hair **** neatly jumped off the donkey's back and walked towards her, taking the handkerchief handed by the female envoy to wipe her sweat -

"Captain Cui." She was slightly out of breath, her forehead was wet with sweat, and she raised her hand to salute him. She was not as blessed as an ordinary woman.

Cui Jing nodded slightly and looked behind her: "The donkey is good."

Chang Suining: "Do you like Governor Cui?"

She always felt that if she said she liked it, she might have to lead the donkey when she left Chang's house. Cui Jing did not dare to nod easily and only asked: "Do you have a name?"

"Bamboo wind, I just picked it up yesterday."

Cui Jing's eyebrows moved slightly - was it Zhufeng, or was it the bamboo wind that "full of bamboo wind blows on the wine noodles in the courtyard"?

The courtyard is full of bamboos, the wind is blowing on the wine noodles, and two pomegranate trees are making poems and melancholy -

His Highness’s war horse was called the Pulpit Fire.

"My horse's name is Rufeng, so my sister took Zhufeng." Chang Sui'an came over and explained with a smile.

Chang Suining nodded—the explanation was very good, but the good thing was that it was not the case at all.

After hearing Chang Sui'an's words, Cui Jing didn't ask any more questions.

Chang Sui Ning didn't wait any longer: "Director Cui, please excuse me for a moment."

Cui Jing nodded.

"Little Ah Li—" A Dian subconsciously wanted to follow, but Cui Jing raised his hand to stop him.

She was obviously going back to change.

A Dian looked at him doubtfully.

Cui Jing said: "I brought something to senior, do you want to see it?"

A Dian nodded hastily: "Yes! Where?"

"Senior, follow me to the front hall."

"Uh-huh!"

Cui Jing then walked to the front hall, accompanied by Chu Xing and others.

After Chang Sui Ning changed his clothes and freshened up, Chang Kuoqia also returned to his house.

But he didn't come back alone, there was a guest by his side.

Chang Suining came outside the front hall and happened to see someone coming -

"Shilang Wei?"

Wei Shuyi, who was about to go up the steps, turned around and looked at the girl with a white top and green skirt with a fair face and a smooth face: "Ms. Chang looks good. It seems that the injury has healed."

"I happened to meet Minister Wei when I was going to court, so I invited him along." Chang Kuo explained to his daughter with a smile.

Chang Kuo believed that he owed Wei Shuyi a favor for the previous incident in Hezhou. However, the matter of his daughter's abduction was not allowed to be publicized, so there was no way to express his gratitude openly. He just took advantage of today's banquet for Cui Jing and simply made up for it. Make a table.

Changsui Ning understands.

The three of them entered the hall together.

"Shilang Wei is here too." Chang Sui'an greeted the guests warmly: "Please take a seat!"

Cui Jing only glanced at Wei Shuyi and then looked away indifferently.

Chang Suining looked at it and felt that the other party seemed to be saying - If I had known he was coming, I would not have come.

"I haven't seen Governor Cui for a few days." Wei Shu Yihun didn't care about being disliked. He sat in the chair next to Cui Jing and said with a smile: "If I want to have a drink with you on weekdays, you always have various reasons to refuse. I hit it today."

Chang Kuo smiled and put down his bold words: "Everyone counts today, and I won't come back until I'm drunk!"

At this time, Chang Suining has not yet realized to whom these words will eventually be fulfilled—

Thank you all for your monthly ticket recommendations and messages. Good night.
