The Orange Grove Pavilion, where Mrs. Du has been staying for a while, is relatively cool and different from the hot and humid Jiangdu.

For her, the entire south of Hanshui is a little humid.

On this day, she led her daughter to prune the branches in the orange grove, and when Guan Ji left the year before last, she ordered the trees in the museum to be cut down, and the small garden carefully maintained by Tian Xin was trampled to powder by two war elephants. In order to cut off the thoughts, save the future worries.

But the people of Maicheng could not bear to cut down, so they cut off the branches and left the trunk, which germinated and grew in two years, and returned to its former luxuriant vitality.

At this moment, the fist-sized dark green orange is hanging from the branches, and the permanent servants in the museum are already taking care of and pruning it.

Now that Mrs. Du has moved in, she has worked together.

Pruning and tending to a garden to sustain the days is also a good home.

The sound of horses' hooves gradually came, and the servant boy in the pavilion rushed into the orange grove: "Madam, the general is coming, and he has reached five or six miles east of the bridge. ”

Mrs. Du was rolling up her sleeves to wipe the sweat on her forehead, and she was stunned for a moment, joy?

I don't know what kind of mood I am in, Mrs. Du instructed her daughter: "Go pick some mint, Yun Changgong is hungry and thirsty, prepare a pot of mint water to relieve the heat." ”

"How does this work? It's better to bathe and take care of your makeup for your mother. ”

"Yun Changgong won't care about this, go quickly."

Mrs. Du sent her daughter and led a few servants to the pavilion, and Mai Chengling had already brought some officials and gathered the surrounding people to move around the Orange Grove Pavilion, some to clean the barracks that had been abandoned for almost two years, and some to sweep the road leading to the Zhangshui Bridge in the Orange Grove Pavilion.

There were also some officials who were familiar with the Orange Grove Pavilion to clean the surroundings of the building, and many brought their own cast-iron pots to boil hot water on the spot.

Mrs. Du only had time to wash the sweat on her face and the orange sap on her hands.

Then I came to the door of the orange grove pavilion and waited, looking at the busy officials around me, and my heart was full of mixed feelings...... This is the charm of Yun Changgong, who is deeply loved and supported by the people here.

Guan Yuqing's umbrella car gradually arrived, stopped fifty steps outside the door of the building, and walked down the stone steps.

is still struggling, striding meteors, and stomping; Comparing the two, Mrs. Du couldn't help but think of Cao Cao in her fifties, and Cao Cao was very calm when he walked at that time.

It is far inferior to Yun Changgong, who is full of vitality in front of him and seems to have no signs of aging.

Gradually walking in, Guan Yu slowed down his pace, and carefully looked at Mrs. Du, who was still graceful, graceful, and more demure and familiar with the temperament, only felt peaceful and down-to-earth in her heart, showed a smile, and spoke before Mrs. Du: "In a remote place, Mrs. has been wronged." ”

"The concubine Xie Yun cares, this place is elegant and clean, and the concubine has slept peacefully every night since she moved in, and I like it very much."

After a slight bow, Mrs. Du followed Guan Yu towards the hall, with a small distance of half a step.

I heard Guan Yu say: "My son-in-law Xiaoxian doesn't like gold and jade clothes, and what he loves in his life is this idyllic scene." He would choose a place, and my daughter and he were also married and happy, and built this annex. ”

Mrs. Du was stunned when she heard this, Guan Yu looked back and smiled: "It was my negligence, Mrs. didn't know, and the whole court knew that my son-in-law didn't like to fight." ”

Seeing that she still couldn't understand the key and was stunned and focused on thinking, Guan Yu just shook his head and smiled and said: "He doesn't love Jin Yu, his family is full of gold and jade; He doesn't like to fight in the army, and he has more than 200,000 elite soldiers under his command; He doesn't love women, and now he has a group of wives and concubines. Such duplicitous thieves are truly hateful. ”

At this time, Mrs. Du's little head turned around, and she raised her hand to cover her face with her sleeves, and she laughed before she raised her hand, with red lips and white teeth, and her eyes were shining when she was laughing.

Guan Yu was in a good mood when he saw it, stretched out his arms, and came to the other end of the longhouse of the pavilion together, where there is an orange grove in the north, Zhangshui in the east, and a longhouse in the south as a partition.

In the pavilion, each settled, Mrs. Du looked at Guan Yu from a new perspective, and said seriously: "Yun Changgong's demeanor is better than before, and the concubine thinks that Yun Changgong is still dull and silent." ”

"It's not the same as it used to be, and now, what else is there for me to worry about?"

Guan Yu's smile on his face was three points less, and he was also carefully observing Mrs. Du in front of him, comparing it with the person in his memory: "Madame, too, is more cheerful than back then, and has less resentment, which is very good." Prime Minister Cao Cheng has never treated his wife badly. ”

"He's thoughtful...... But it is unpopular. ”

Mrs. Du sighed: "Whenever he is here in the concubine's body, he will talk about Yun Changgong. Yun Changgong, should you know his original intention back then? ”

"Nature knows."

At this time, Mrs. Du and Cao Cao's daughter, who were also dressed in plain clothes and looked bright and moving, came with a pot of mint water, Guan Yu also looked at it a few more times, but she didn't see the outline of Cao Cao on her face, and then looked at the tall figure similar to Mrs. Du, and couldn't help frowning.

With Cao Cao's appearance, how could he give birth to such a beautiful daughter?

After her daughter retreated, Mrs. Du added mint water for Guan Yu: "What does Yun Changgong think now?" ”

"Now, looking back on those years, I still have no regrets."

Guan Yu picked up the white porcelain cup and gently blew the light green clear mint water, and sniffed it gently: "I am also a sibling with the first emperor, and the prime minister respects and loves me, but he lacks siblings." If I turn my back on the emperor for my wife and have no brotherhood, how can he look at me squarely? ”

"As a traitor, although you can get a wife, you will be disgusted with the prime minister, and sooner or later you will get rid of me, so as not to see Guan and make him disgusted."

Guan Yu took a sip and looked as usual: "The first emperor knows me, I know the first emperor; The prime minister also knows me, and I also know the prime minister. And the lady is in the prime minister's place, which is also a good home. ”

Mrs. Du nodded slightly, agreeing with Guan Yu's opinion.

When the Cao-Liu coalition broke down, Cao Cao thought he had caught Guan Yu's lustful handle, so he detained her in an attempt to force Guan Yu to bow his head.

But Guan Yu didn't bow his head, Cao Cao couldn't ask Guan Yu for peace for his own prestige, and he couldn't hand her over to others, so he had to take her home.

Later, Liu Bei's group dispersed from Xuzhou, and Guan Yu had to surrender to the Han court represented by Cao Cao, no matter what Cao Cao did at this time...... can no longer reach a harmonious relationship with Guan Yu.

Regarding the deep friendship between Guan Yu and Zhang Liao and Xu Huang...... There are not only the friendship feelings of the three of them, but also the reason why Xu Huang and Zhang Liao persuaded Guan Yu to do big things with Cao Cheng together; It is also possible for Guan Yu to persuade the two to do Cao Cao together.

By the time Yan Liang was cut off, Guan Yu's favor had reached its limit.

If Guan Yu doesn't leave, Cao Cao can't get a better bargaining chip...... He couldn't send Mrs. Du over again, so before Cao Cao hesitated to do something, Guan Yu took the initiative to leave and made a decision for Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao would do something against his will.

With a glass of mint water in his stomach, Guan Yu said: "The prime minister's father and son are always doing things against their will, which is really pitiful. From now on, you and I won't talk about prime ministers. Madame and settled here for a few months, and when the government was secured, I moved to Nanyang. ”

"The climate in Nanyang is more suitable for Mrs., and Mrs. feels bad, so she goes back to Guanzhong. If you are willing to wait, when I recover the eastern capital, you will enter the customs with me and enjoy the joy of life. ”

Mrs. Du smiled, her eyes full of Guan Yu opposite: "I am willing to go with Yun Changgong, and I have no regrets in life and death." ”

Seeing this, Guan Yu stretched out his left hand, and Mrs. Du stretched out her two hands and firmly grasped them together.

Looking at Mrs. Du's quiet smile, Guan Yu spoke: "Ah Wei? ”

"Hmm."
