In fact, Liu Rong had long wanted to come back to find Shi, but he did not dare to reveal his whereabouts early.
Before rushing to suppress the rebellion, Chu Chengyun issued a secret edict to him, explaining that Liu Rong had other things to do when he went.
In fact, those who betray the party and want to sin are just scattered bandits, and they are nothing to be afraid of. They are not enough for the imperial court to send a large army to suppress the rebellion. However, Chu Chengyun will make a big splash. Complete general power is in hand.
Even though the Guo family held the most power in the court, and Princess Hua Ning's grandfather was a first-rank general, it stands to reason that Chu Chengyun should be able to hold the military talisman firmly in his hand, but in reality, things are far from simple. .
The situation is intertwined. Even though the Guo family is on Chu Chengyun's side, in order to balance power, in addition to the Guo family's powerful family in the army, the late emperor also cultivated several other noble families as a check.
Almost every emperor knows how to check and balance. Even if the previous emperor knew the Guo family's ability and their loyalty, he still kept guard against fear in his heart.
It seems that General Guo guards the border, and the credit is great, but in fact, the military power in the hands of the Guo family is the one on the surface, and the few families scattered in private never listen to the deployment of the state.
It would be fine if these people lived in peace with each other, but the Guo family was too capable. They could be promoted and rich as long as they followed behind to drink soup. Over time, they would not do anything. The Guo family challenged and used this to elevate their status.
At the beginning, Chu Chengyun felt that they were not enough to be afraid of, until there was danger at the border, the only people he could mobilize besides Ye Pingrong were the Guo family. Just started to look at this.
But just when he started to clean up, he found that those people were incompetent, but they were very attentive. Among them, there were even those who illicitly colluded with the enemy country to make a profit.
On the side of the couch, no one is allowed to sleep peacefully, let alone a person with a sword in his hand.
Instead of letting those who don't know the so-called corpse eat vegetarian meals, it is better to straighten Ye Pingrong and the new generals who obey him, and complement each other with the Guo family, which is both containment and reliance.
Therefore, Chu Chengyun used the pretext of suppressing the rebellion to want to choose some people who were loyal to him and capable of it. Coupled with Liu Rong's initiative to ask for help, Chu Chengyun issued a secret edict.
The rebellion had to be pacified, and the traitors had to be caught, especially who had illicitly colluded with the enemy country and whose corpse was a vegetarian meal. Liu Rong had to write them down one by one.
And these things have to be carried out secretly, and no third person can know about it. Otherwise, Liu Rong is thousands of miles away. If the news leaks, the bad guy will not be found, but Liu Rong's life will be explained first.
Liu Rong's original plan was to follow the steps step by step, but the plan could not keep up with the rapid changes. Just at the time of the great victory, the book he used to record was stolen.
The above are all the information he wrote down little by little, using secret words, but it will inevitably be cracked.
In order to be foolproof, Liu Rong devised a drama in which the elite troops were lured into the enemy and disappeared.
After a long period of concealment and investigation, he finally wiped out the traitors in one fell swoop at the camp on the outskirts of the city last night. Only then did Liu Rong dare to show it to others.
The first thing Liu Rong did after recovering his identity was to come in to meet Shi Shi and tell her that he was not dead.
Liu Rong has always remembered what Shi's threatened him before. She said that if she dared to die, she would dare to marry someone else, even if Liu Rong knew that Shi's was angry and said it to scare him, but Liu Rong was more and more serious. Think more afraid.
After all, he was worried about the authorities and was a fan of the authorities, so Liu Rong was not willing to take risks.
He was almost scratching his head and scratching his head every day, hoping that those traitors who betrayed the party would not be able to hide their secrets, and it finally happened. Of course, he had to come first and tell his future wife that he was alive, living well, and waiting to marry her. !
Just now, Liu Rong went around the orchard, but couldn't find Shi's. He heard that Shi's came to Qi's house, and Liu Rong was particularly distressed. Only to find a friend to be relieved.
But what Liu Rong didn't expect was that he thought Shi Shi should wash his face in tears, and he also thought of words of comfort.
Who knows, at this meeting, Shi's face is pink and white, his eyes are dark, and he can't see any sadness. Instead, he smiles and sticks his head out of the window to face him: "Rong Lang, when did you come back?"
Originally, Liu Rong wanted to ask Shi Shi why he wasn't sad, but he was choked up by the "Rong Lang" call.
If he hadn't reacted immediately, and grabbed the window frame tightly, he would have fallen into the water with a loose hand.
It's just that Shi Shi was also taken aback by the shaking just now, she hurriedly reached out and grabbed Liu Rong's hand and grabbed it up.
Liu Rong, on the other hand, stared at the hands of the two people for a long time, and then showed a smile, but he couldn't bear to make Shi Shi's effort, he just used the other hand to support it slightly, and put his toes on the outside of the wall, a few times. Just turned into the window.
When he stood still, he felt that his hand was empty, and he looked up to see Shi Shi who was smiling at him.
Her face was full of surprise. She had probably never heard of anything dangerous about Liu Rong, so Shi Shi was only surprised but not shocked. Her voice was not as calm as usual, but with a happy ending. : "You haven't answered me yet, when did you come back, but have you seen the emperor in the palace?"
When Liu Rong usually leads troops to fight, his style is very similar to Ye Pingrong. He has a careful layout and a sharp style, and he doesn't hesitate to cut his hands.
In front of Shi Shi, he smiled like a fool: "I just came back and I haven't seen His Majesty yet. I'm not worried about you, so I'll come to you first to report your safety."
When Shi Shi heard the words, he laughed at first, and then suddenly withdrew his smile.
Liu Rong didn't expect such a change, but Liu Rong was probably very nervous about the person in front of him in his heart. Seeing Shi Shi stopped smiling, he immediately stood up straight, motionless, and his whole body was tense. For fear of making her angry again if she did something wrong.
Shi hurriedly walked to the window, closed the window, and inserted it with a pin, then turned around and said to him, "Did you come back seriously, or did you escape?"
Liu Rong knew Shi Shi had misunderstood as soon as he heard it, and hurriedly said: "I came back seriously, I just made a contribution, wait... I will bring someone into the palace in the morning tomorrow morning, Xiuer, don't worry, I won't. Do things that disgrace you."
Seeing Liu Rong say this, Shi Shi was relieved, but his eyes were still a little angry: "You are too rash, you have to go through the window if you don't have a door, it's getting late, Jiao Niang chooses for me The place is quieter and there are no outsiders, if people really see it, should I still be a human in the future?"
Liu Rong could hear that Shi Shi's words did not complain too much, even if he was glared at, Liu Rong felt comfortable.
A somewhat innocent smile returned to the man's face, he took a step forward and replied, "Don't worry, Xiu'er, I have already investigated, there are trees blocking it, and there is a shadow here, others are watching I didn't come in."
Shi naturally believed that this person's kung fu still had the ability, but he still muttered: "Have these abilities, but use them to turn the windows, waste."
Liu Rong replied with a smile: "Flip through Xiu'er's window, don't waste it, it's worth it, I think I've learned boxing and kung fu for so long just for today."
Shi Shi couldn't help but his ears turned red, and he threw the handkerchief at him: "Go out for a while, but your face is thicker."
Liu Rong took the veil and answered honestly, "What I said is the truth."
It's even more embarrassing because it's the truth.
Shi pursed the corners of his mouth, snorted and said nothing, just dragged Liu Rong to the table and sat down.
The parrot, which had just hidden its head in its wings, saw that the weather was calm, and secretly exposed its head, looked left and right, and felt that his life was not in danger, so he swayed his body happily, but did not speak, just used his claws. Grab the melon seeds and knock.
Shi Shi didn't look at him anymore, just looked at Liu Rong and asked, "Are you injured?"
Liu Rong nodded and shook his head again: "There are some skin injuries, but they are all healed."
Shi Shi felt a little distressed, but he knew that the sword had no eyes on the battlefield, and the pain was inevitable. If he pursued this matter and asked, he would be hypocritical and really shed tears. Mind, try to calmly say: "Then when you come back this time, when can you go home?"
Liu Rong looked at Shi Shi with a smile, and his voice was full of anger: "I will go home after going to see Your Majesty tomorrow. I heard someone say that I can ask Your Majesty for an appointment. When I look back, I will ask Your Majesty to reward you with an appointment."
Shi Shi was angry and laughed: "You and I don't even have a marriage contract now, what kind of advice do you ask me?"
"Then get married first, then I'll go find your brother to hire you, and when we get married, I'll go and ask you for an appointment."
If it was before, Shi's will definitely ask him to be cautious in his words and deeds, and don't say these words casually to harm the reputation of the two.
But today is different from the past, Shi Shi has already told Shi Tianrui all about their relationship. Even if Master Shi is not happy for his sister to marry a military general, he still respects Shi Shi's wishes and nodded.
Now that the bright road has passed, all Liu Rong said at this moment is only the sweetness of the future for Shi Shi, and there is no longer any worries.
Seeing her smile, Liu Rong knew that Shi agreed, and laughed along with him.
Then Liu Rong talked to Shi Shi about his future plans.
Liu Rong wouldn't tell a woman what happened on the battlefield, for fear of scaring her, and Liu Rong's past was not very glorious, his parents died early, and there was no one in the family, it was very simple.
For Liu Rong, since he wants to marry the Shi family, he must have some ideas about their future.
Whether it was a house, a car, or a real estate, Liu Rong was silently preparing from the moment he decided to marry Shi Shi, even if Shi Shi avoided him at that time, Liu Rong was also saving little by little.
In the past, I didn't know what to do with the monthly salary, either spending it casually or buying wine, but since the day I met Shi Shi, Liu Rong has become a lot more frugal.
At this moment, he can be considered to have accumulated a lot of wealth for himself, and he will tell Shi Shi all the same, with great care.
In fact, Shi's property and pavement are much more than him, but Shi's still listens very attentively.
Not only to know Liu Rong's net worth, but also to help him plan in the future, but also because the man's eyes were bright when he talked about the future of the two, and he looked very good.
At the end, Liu Rong said: "Your Majesty told me that as long as you do your errands well, I will definitely be promoted in the future, and then I will have a place to marry you."
Shishi smiled at him with one hand on his cheek, and said slowly, "Don't take this out and say it outside, Lei Tingyulu explained Jun En, you can't be picky." After a slight pause, Shi continued, "I know. You are a meritorious minister this time, but no matter what the emperor has promised you before, don't mention it, just forget it, and you must not urge your majesty to fulfill your promise, you know?"
Liu Rong nodded immediately and said, "I wrote it down."
Shi Shi was relieved, looked at him with a smile, and then saw Liu Rong open his mouth, close it again, open it again, and stammerly said: "That, Xiu'er, I, I miss you these days. tight, just…”
Shi Shi was a little curious: "Just what?"
"Entering the door of my lovesickness, knowing that I am suffering from lovesickness, long-lasting lovesickness... lovesickness..."
Shi Shi knew that Liu Rong wanted to recite poems for her, but Liu Rong was someone who led the army to fight, and there was not much ink in his chest. Ordinary literati and poets could use beautiful poems very beautifully. Liu Rong would only find some. Memorize what you mean, and recite it to her.
It's just that this is memorized in private, and when I talk about it in person, I stutter and say it's not easy.
Liu Rong couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He just felt that he had finally prepared, and this time it was going to waste again.
Shi Shi looked at him with a smile, knowing in his heart that this person is not good at this, but in order to make himself happy, he can still memorize it a little bit, he has already written down his intentions, not embarrassing Liu Rong, just replied softly: " Sauvignon Blanc is like a long-term memory, and a short Acacia is infinite."
Liu Rong was stunned when he heard the words: "Xiuer, you know it." Then he laughed, "Isn't it possible? Xiuer's brother is the champion and Wenquxing, and Xiuer should also be a female Wenquxing."
Shi shi's face flushed with such straightforward praise, and he hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense, it sounds like a mess."
Liu Rong smiled brightly, and the expression on his face was clearly that all his words were sincere and unadulterated at all.
At this time, Shi Shi heard the sound of clappers outside.
It's three watch.
Shi Shi stood up and said to Liu Rong: "Go back quickly, this is Jiao Niang's mansion after all, it's not good for you to stay here, you should go back to sleep earlier and keep your spirits up, it's not that you will return it tomorrow. Do you want to enter the palace and face the saint?"
Liu Rong immediately stood up obediently, but instead of leaving immediately, he stared at Shi Shi.
Shi Shi's cheeks were slightly red, pursed his lips, and glanced at him: "What are you looking at?"
Liu Rong scratched his head and said, "Xiu'er, you just called me, can you say it again?"
Shi Shi was taken aback: "What?"
"Just when I was hanging outside, you called me, and I still want to hear it."
Shi Shi smiled when he heard him say "hang outside", but after listening to Shi Shi's ears turned red, seeing Liu Rong's appearance that he would not leave unless he achieved his goal, she opened her mouth and whispered: "Rong Rong" Lang."
With this cry, Liu Rong was overjoyed, gave a crisp "eh", opened the window with a smile, and jumped out!
This frightened Shi Shi. She lived on the second floor, so how could it be possible if she jumped out of the window and fell
Shi hurriedly ran to the window to lie on his back, and saw that Liu Rong didn't jump directly to the ground, but grabbed the tree branch with his hands, then climbed down the tree neatly, and then walked quickly away from the wall. .
This made Shi Shi's heart skip a beat, and he stretched out his hand to cover his heart. When his heartbeat calmed down, he pursed his lips and smiled. After muttering "idiot", he closed the window, blew out the candle, and went to bed.
But he didn't know that Tiezi quietly returned to Qi Yun's yard after Liu Rong left, and buttoned lightly outside the window.
Qi Erlang usually sleeps soundly at night, but he is especially alert to the sound of knocking on the window.
Because when he took care of Xu Bao before, the Qi family was not so rich. If the eldest son wanted to wake up at night, he would lie in the crib and beat it. The sound was like knocking on a window lattice. Over time, Qi Yun got used to it.
Hearing the sound, Qi Yun opened his eyes and closed Ye Jiao who was still sleeping in his arms. Qi Erlang asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
"Second Young Master, when I saw Mr. Liu Rong Liu sneaking into the mansion, I didn't say anything, just followed from a distance."
Qi Yun was stunned for a moment, and all kinds of guesses flashed in his heart, but he asked calmly, "Where did he go?"
"I just went to Mrs. Shi's house to sit and left in less than half an hour. I watched him leave the house and then came back to report."
Qi Yun gave a "um" and felt Ye Jiao moving in his arms, so he lowered his voice even more: "You did the right thing, keep your mouth shut, but remember to keep your mouth shut and don't let anyone beside you. Knowing that, the nursing home also told them to keep their mouths shut."
"I see."
"It's done, go to sleep."
"Yes."
When the sound of Tie Zi's footsteps was gone, Qi Yun narrowed his eyes. He wanted to carefully consider Liu Ronglai's purpose and why this man was resurrected from the dead, but he also thought that it would definitely involve important matters in the court, and he was a wealthy and idle person to manage. After doing so many things, he relaxed and embraced Ye Jiao and fell asleep.
The next day, Shi Shi woke up and the first thing he did when he woke up was sitting there, looking in a trance.
After all, everything is too much to think about things that are only in the text.
Looking through the window, Xu Chengsheng, and read a poem...
Shi Shi can understand other things, but this is the poem, which is too inconsistent with the image of Liu Rong who doesn't read anything except the art of war in her impression.
It all seemed a bit like a dream.
But Shi Shi couldn't ask anyone else. After all, it's not a good thing for a man to open the window in the middle of the night. Therefore, Shi Shi could only think about it secretly.
The more I thought about it, the more blurred it became, that I couldn't remember.
Thinking that it might be a dream, Shi Shi felt a little lost.
This made her look a little lonely when she was carrying the parrot to talk to Ye Jiao.
Ye Jiao was a little puzzled, she walked over to hold Shi Shi and asked, "What's wrong with you, Yingxiu, but what's wrong with you?"
Shi Shi held up a smile, shook his head, and said nothing.
At this time, Xiao Su picked up the curtain and came in and said with a smile: "Master, the books that the eldest princess sent two days ago have been given to Master Ning. These days, Liusi often comes back to read with Mr. Feng, so Master Ning asked him to give it to him. Studying, Liu Si said that Young Master Ning is serious about his studies."
When Ye Jiao heard this, she nodded with a smile.
Shi Shi put all his thoughts aside first, then turned to look at Ye Jiao and said, "Six Sis, I remember that it is someone next to Master Qi, how can I let him read to Ning Bao?"
Ye Jiao was wearing tassels on her hands, and she smiled when she heard the words: "My husband and Saburo both think Liu Si is a good seedling, if it's a waste of time to be a servant all the time, let him also learn from Mr. Feng, and let him learn after a while. Going to take the imperial examinations will also give you a good future."
Shi Shi was a little surprised when she heard the words. She knew that there were many children in the Qi family who were tenants.
But what Shi didn't expect was that the Qi family was open-minded enough to allow his subordinates to take the imperial examinations.
You must know that the most taboo thing for ordinary big families is that their subordinates deceive the master. Therefore, even if there are clever subordinates, they will not rely too much on them, and they will not give him a good future, and the maid is even worse, the more The more beautiful and smart, the more taboo she is, for fear that she will hook up with the master, be a servant or sell it, and it will be a difficult life after all.
Originally, Shi Shi only thought that Ye Jiao's wives had great skills, so that they could manage the inner house like an iron bucket, and the girls were married separately, Ye Jiao never interfered, that was also a beautiful lady.
But looking at it now, even Liu Si can take the imperial examination. It seems that the Qi family is not worried that this person will be disadvantaged to the main family. Some admiration.
Ye Jiao didn't know that Shi Shi thought so much, she just smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I originally wanted Xu Bao to read to Ning Bao, and Xu Bao also liked it, but Ning Bao was particularly stubborn this time. Let Liusi read it and hide it from Xu Bao. Yingxiu, you can help me keep a secret for Ning Bao in the future."
Shi Shi also found it interesting when he heard the words, so he smiled and nodded.
Ye Jiao said again: "It will be August in a few days, and Saburo's marriage will be approaching."
Shi Shi smiled warmly and said slowly: "This is a big happy event. The five girls of the Meng family are smart and gentle. Your Saburo is young and talented. This pair of talented and talented girls is a natural pair. I will also be happy when that time comes."
At this moment, a woman came in and said something to Xiao Su.
Xiao Su was stunned for a moment, and then a happy expression appeared on her face.
Usually outside things can't be said from the inside, otherwise they will be blasted out of the house directly. This is the order given by Qi Yun, so no matter how many rumors there are outside, the Qi family is still calm.
But this time, it must be told in front of Shi Shi.
Xiao Su quickly stepped forward, smiled and bowed, and said, "Master, Madam Shi, someone just sent a message to say that General Liu Rong is walking across the street with a group of meritorious soldiers, wearing big red flowers, It is very majestic, and I will enter the palace to receive the reward later."
Ye Jiao didn't know that this person had walked around her mansion last night, so Ye Jiao was surprised at first, then she turned to look at Shi Shi.
When Shi Shi stood up, he didn't have time to say anything, and the smile couldn't be stopped.
And she recited a poem in her mouth: "Entering my lovesickness door, know that I am suffering from lovesickness."
Unexpectedly, the parrot on the table opened his mouth and continued the second half of the sentence: "Sauvignon blanc looks like a long look, and a short Acacia is infinite."
Ye Jiao couldn't help looking at the parrot, and boasted, "Yingxiu, your parrot is also very literary."
Shi Shi covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and she could only see her brows and eyes twitching with laughter.
It's not a dream, but it's good.
Liu Rong returned with a great victory, and the official was promoted two ranks. From a small official who could only stand outside the door when he was in court, he became a first-class celebrity. He took real power and made great contributions. tight.
And his deeds on the battlefield gradually spread.
It was at this time that Shi Shi realized that so many had happened before. When she thought that Liu Rong's "death" caused a lot of trouble, she felt nervous. If she really heard those rumors at that time, she would be scared. Back off.
Therefore, Shi Shi was especially grateful to the few people who protected him, whether it was Ye Jiao, Empress Meng or Hua Ning, Shi Shi was deeply grateful.
Liu Rong became very famous for a while after he became an upstart. Just when everyone thought that Liu Rong should stand up for himself, they didn't expect Liu Rong to still follow Ye Pingrong and show a guarding situation with Ye Pingrong. A rope not to be underestimated.
What shocked everyone even more was that after Liu Rong's promotion, he declined the famous ladies who had found a matchmaker to marry him, and instead went to Shi Tianrui's house to propose marriage, and wanted to marry Shi Tianrui and his sister, Shi Yingxiu, who had left home.
No matter their identity, age, or past, the two are extremely unmatched. Look, it's like people from two worlds, but Shi Tianrui really nodded, making the two become a marriage contract and a wedding date. It made the capital vibrate for some days.
But soon, everyone's focus shifted away from Liu Rong and Shi Shi.
When the sweet-scented osmanthus bloomed in August, it was the wedding day of Qi Ming and Meng Zhilan.
The author has something to say: Parrot: Hmm, the colored me and the black thing are just different
Xiao Hei: What's different? Aren't they all birds
Parrot: I can talk, I can recite poems, how about you
Xiao Hei: ... I play more roles than that person in the palace!
Chu Chengyun: ? ? ? What's up with me! ! !

Update to send, compare heart
The following is a small popular science specially opened to Liu Rong that can be ignored and unimportant-
Entering the door of my lovesickness, I know that my lovesickness is bitter, the long-term lovesickness is long, and the short lovesickness is infinite. -Li Bai's "Three Five Seven Words"
