MTL - Harue Kagetsu-Chapter 39
Luoshen married to Jingkou, and Xiao Yongjia chose dozens of maids and maids to accompany her. In a few days, most of them were sent to the village by her, and there were only a few left—two of them were cooks.
Luoshen kept the cook, considering that Lu Shi's eyes were inconvenient, and Ah Ting was still young and wanted them to relax and do less work.
Lu Shi is also not a person who demands face. The status of the daughter-in-law's family is much higher than that of her own. When she came, she brought so many servants with her, which was obvious. She knew that Luoshen was not used to the food she and A Ting made, so at that time, A Ju proposed to let the cook cook in the future, and Lu Shi immediately nodded.
But tonight's meal, Lu Shi once again cooked by himself, told Ah Ting to fight, and the two cooked it by themselves.
Li Mu came back from outside as soon as he turned on the lamp.
Lu was very happy and urged his son to eat.
After Li Mu washed his hands, he sat down.
Luoshen sat opposite him, with A Ting at the end.
He seemed very hungry, and after taking a seat, he ate.
Lu Shi didn't eat much, and seemed to be listening intently to the subtle sounds he made while eating.
Li Mu put down the bowl, turned to Mrs. Lu, and said with a smile, "My son is full. Thank you mum."
Lu Shi nodded with a smile.
"Brother, when can you come back?"
A Ting also put down his chopsticks and asked.
Li Mu smiled and said, "I'll be back soon. Brother A is not at home, Mo Saye is naughty and needs to listen to Mother's words."
Ah Ting's eyes turned red, and he nodded vigorously.
Luoshen looked at this scene and suddenly felt like he was an unnecessary person.
After Li Mu comforted Ah Ting, he didn't know whether it was intentional or not, and looked at Luoshen.
Luoshen hesitated.
Under such circumstances, it seems that I should also say a word or two...
But if he opens his mouth, it should be nothing more than telling him to be careful and return early.
She couldn't say such words to death.
She pretended not to be full, bowed her head to avoid his gaze, and pretended to pick up another dish in front of her.
"Ami!"
Suddenly he heard Lu Shi calling him.
Luoshen hurriedly responded, put down his chopsticks, and turned to Lu Shi: "What's your order?"
Mrs Lu said: "It's been a while since you were married to us, and you must miss your parents very much. Mu'er is going to Jiangbei tomorrow, and I don't know when he will return. Without him, I think, you are alone. It’s boring to think about coming here, why don’t you take this opportunity to visit your mother’s house?”
Luo Shen was stunned.
During the day, she was really thinking about how to see the opportunity, and mentioned something about Jiankang.
Unexpectedly, before she could speak, Lu shi took the initiative to call her back first.
Luoshen suspected that she had detected her own thoughts, so she couldn't help embarrassed and waved her hand: "Ajia, I won't go back. I will stay with Ajia."
Lu Shi smiled, shook his head and said, "It's okay. I know you are filial, but I have A Ting by my side. There is no need for you to stay at home to serve. You can go back with peace of mind. When Mu Er returns from the victory, ask him to come back. Just pick you up over there."
I could hear that Lu Shi's tone was full of sincerity.
In Luoshen's mind, an idea suddenly popped up.
Although Li Mu is good at fighting, he has no eyes for swords and spears.
Lu let himself go back to Jiankang. He also said, "When Mu Er returns from the victory, ask him to pick you up there again."
She didn't know if she had misunderstood, but she always felt that Lu Shi seemed to have prepared for the worst.
If Li Mu can't come back, doesn't it mean that he can stay in Gao's house forever and never have to go back to Beijing?
"Ajia! I'm really not going back! I'll stay too, and I'll accompany you with A Ting until Langjun returns home."
Luoshen quickly expressed his attitude again.
She was really tired of her son, but God knew it, but she never thought of wishing him an early death.
Lu was concentrating for a moment, then nodded slowly and smiled.
"That's fine. A family thank you very much."
"Why does Ajia say that! This is the duty of a daughter-in-law."
Luoshen blushed.
"Sister-in-law, you are so kind!"
Ah Ting's eyes were red, and he came to lean on Luoshen's side, which made Luoshen seem to be infected with the atmosphere before parting, and suddenly felt a little sad, touched Ah Ting's head and comforted in a low voice.
Li Mu kept looking at her and never said a word.
"Mu'er, you have to leave early tomorrow morning. You must have been tired for the past two days. Go back to your room with Ami and rest earlier. I have nothing to do here."
Lu turned to his son.
Li Mu said: "I'll take my mother back to the house first."
He helped Lu Shi up.
Lu Shi stood up silently.
Luoshen had to follow and send Lu Shi back to the house together. At the door, Lu Shi kept urging, Li Mu said goodbye to his mother, glanced at Luoshen, and said softly: "Go back."
Luo Shen followed him back to the house where the two lived, and went in one after the other.
The lights are already on in the house.
I don't know why, it seems that because of what happened just now, the atmosphere in the room always made Luo Shen feel extremely weird.
Being in such a room opposite him even made her feel uncomfortable. There has never been one before.
She didn't look at him, just asked Aju to prepare the fragrant soup for her bath.
Aju responded. Soon, a servant girl began to carry water in and out.
Luo Shen saw that he was sitting on the couch that he had used as a bed these days, facing himself, holding a roll in his hand, and read the book.
A dark and calm silhouette.
Luo Shen then went into the bath, lightly and cautiously, trying not to make the slightest sound of water.
As usual, Aju was serving her in the bath. She hesitated and looked a little weird, but she didn't say anything after all, and she stopped talking about Jiankang.
Luoshen went out of the bath soon. Because of long hair, hair and feet were a little wet, after coming out, he didn't go to bed immediately, and sat in front of the mirror box.
Qiongshu came over and helped her dry her wet hair.
Luoshen looked into the mirror and saw Li Mu raised his face, his two eyes seemed to move away from the scroll in his hand and landed on her back.
The bronze mirror couldn't see the man so far away.
But faintly, Luoshen felt that his expression was solemn, looking at his back, as if thinking about something.
Suddenly, the shadow of the man in the mirror moved, put down the book, stayed on the bed, and started walking towards her.
Luoshen was slightly nervous.
"You go out."
He stopped and said to Qiongshu in a gentle tone.
Qiongshu glanced at Luoshen, and replied gently, put down the hair towel, got up and backed out.
"What's the matter with you?"
Luoshen did not look back.
There is silence behind.
Luoshen couldn't help but turn his head, just met the two glances he cast, and saw that he suddenly smiled at himself, and sat down behind him where Qiongshu had just sat.
The two became very close.
Luoshen's whole body was tense, and he straightened his upper body immediately. He was about to get up and leave when he felt one shoulder sink slightly.
He actually raised his arm, gently pressed her back, and then withdrew his hand.
Involuntarily, Luoshen was pressed back in front of the mirror box by the force from his shoulders, his ears heated up, and he secretly felt a little annoyed.
"What do you want?"
She turned her face away and snorted coldly.
"That day, you stood up for my second brother Jiang and my sister-in-law. The second brother and his wife were very grateful, and so did I, but I never thanked you. Don't blame me."
She suspected that she was listening wrong, and she heard him talking to her behind him.
She turned her head slowly again.
He looked at her with gentle eyes.
Luo Shen and him looked at each other for a moment: "I'm not helping you. It's just that I can't stand the face of the Shen family!"
She snorted again: "Why do you need to thank you. Don't blame me for forcing my way forward, I'm so grateful!"
He laughed.
"Why do I blame you? You did what I didn't do. And even if I did, it might not have been better than you."
Luo Shen's heart seemed to be scorched by something, and he rushed out: "If this is the case, why did you scold me when you came back that night?"
He was startled: "Why did I scold you?"
"You have! You're just scolding me!" Luo Shen grabbed him in vain.
But she didn't even notice it herself, there was a bit of coquettish complaining in her tone.
Li Mu's brows moved, looking at her angry look, he seemed to want to laugh, but he forcibly held back.
The words rushed out of his mouth, and Luo Shen himself realized that he shouldn't speak like this in front of him, his face could not help blushing, he turned his head, moved his body, and wanted to get up and leave again, and said in his mouth: "Forget it, I don't have the same knowledge as you..."
That side of the arm is heavy again. She couldn't help herself, and was taken back by him again.
He picked up the hair towel that had just been put down, and with the other palm gently wrapped her long hair that fell on her waist, wiped the half-wet ends of her hair for her, and said, "Jingkou is the place looking north. It is also a gathering place for refugees from the north. Fish and dragons are mixed, and the forces are complicated. You are naturally more than enough to deal with a Shen family. I am afraid that you will encounter people with ulterior motives. "
Luo Shen was stunned, bit his lip, and said nothing.
Li Mu also stopped talking and continued to dry her hair carefully.
"I still have something to do. I'll make an appointment with the second brother Jiang. I'll be back when I go. Go to sleep."
Luo Shen was still sitting.
He glanced at the back of her motionless head, hesitated, and then said, "My mother's proposal just now came out of sincerity. I will go to Jiangbei tomorrow. If you want to go back to Jiankang, you don't have to force yourself to stay. I'll ask someone to take you back, and I'll pick you up when I get back."
Luoshen whispered: "I won't return."
"Alright. I'll ask someone to protect you, and I'll keep someone at home. If something happens, you can let me know in time..."
His voice suddenly stopped and stopped.
Just after leaving the bath, because the water was hot and the feet were warm, Luoshen didn't wear socks, and a pair of bare feet were originally hidden under the skirt. He only got up twice, and he pressed it down again, the skirt was messy, and the feet were exposed.
Round, white and tender, with exquisite little feet, very cute.
Noticing that his eyes seemed to be looking over, Luoshen blushed, and hurriedly shrank back, being completely blocked by the skirt again.
The atmosphere suddenly seemed to change because of her small gesture.
Li Mu was silent for a moment, put down the hair towel, said "you go to sleep first", got up and walked out.
He came back in the middle of the night. There are lights in the house.
Luoshen lay on the pillow, his chin rested on his elbow, quietly opened his eyes, watched him take off his clothes, turn off the lights, and finally got on his couch through the curtain.
There was nothing else to say all night, Luoshen just woke up from sleep, his genius was bright, he suddenly opened his eyes, and found that there was no one there last night.
Li Mu has gone.
In the morning fog in Jiangzhu, the smoke and water were misty, dozens of boats stopped along the coast, and the boatmen were holding oars and waiting to set off.
Together with the officers and soldiers of the 3000 Guard Camp, he will embark on this journey of expedition whose future may be unknown.
