This dynasty followed the example of the previous dynasty in the capital to set up the southeast, northwest and middle five cities of the command of the soldiers, mainly responsible for the capital patrol thieves, combing the streets and ditches and prisoners fire ban, the former dynasty of the five cities of the command and deputy commander were initially held by the royal nobles, is a fictitious position, and later began to gradually be held by some young, strong and promising young generals such as the champion of the martial arts.

Therefore, the position of commander of the Five Cities Terracotta Division does not seem to be high, the power and responsibility are not large, and the things in charge are still very cumbersome, but it is a position that can show its face very well, and the opportunity to be reused in the future is also very large, no wonder Yu is so happy.

I saw that Yu Shi glanced at Wei, and then pretended to sigh heavily: "Originally, it was indeed a good thing, but I heard a news from Mrs. You again, I'm afraid it won't be a good thing for the third sister-in-law." ”

Wei glanced at the Yu family, and this time the Yu family did not sell the guanzi and continued: "The Daji Kingdom in the northeast has captured Liaoyang and Shenyang, and is going south from the waterway to attack the Dengzhou Mansion. I remember that the third uncle was about to return to Beijing this year to report on his work, right? Now it seems that he will be able to return to the ...... Oh, look at my mouth, I mean that when the time comes, the third uncle will not be able to come back for a while. ”

Wei's face also turned a little pale when he heard this, and the second lady was shocked: "Daji Kingdom has captured Liaoyang and Shenyang......? When did this happen?"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Yu couldn't help but feel a little proud: "It should be the past few days, right? The imperial court also just got the battle report when the court was in the early court today." After the death of the general army of Liaodong, several state capitals in Liaodong fell into the hands of Daji, I heard that these Daji people were very cruel, as soon as they entered the city, they plundered property and killed people when they saw them, but their cavalry was all brave. Our people can't resist it. ”

Seeing that everyone was shocked, Yu continued to show off disappreciably: "But we don't need to worry too much, we have 200,000 defenders near Gyeonggi, even if Daji Kingdom captures Dengzhou, where is it so easy to go south to break through the capital?"

When the second lady heard this, she couldn't help but scold: "Shut up! What do you know! After the Daji Kingdom occupies Liaodong, it will be a matter of time before the army wants to enter the pass from the sea, and the garrisons of the capital will not be able to resist it at that time."

As the wife of a military general, although the second lady cannot be said to be proficient in military affairs, some basic military qualities are still much stronger than Yu's. Even the old lady sighed and said, "Da Ji is fierce. And can be good at fighting, when Emperor Taizu was in power, we fought with them a few times, and finally drove them out of Changbai Mountain. Unexpectedly, it didn't take many teenagers for them to make a comeback. ”

The second lady was puzzled: "I remember that since the time of the first emperor, he has deployed heavy troops in Liaodong, and it stands to reason that it will not be so easy for Daji to capture Liaoyang and Shenyang." ”

Yu immediately interjected: "I heard that a staff general under the governor of Liaodong launched a mutiny, and Da Ji took the opportunity to send troops, and this staff general finally voted for Da Ji. Help Daji to attack the city. If you want me to say that these traitors to the enemy should be killed, just like the Yang family that was copied a while ago. Tsk, exile and raiding the family can be regarded as cheapening them, and such a family should be punished by the Nine Clans!"

He Linwan looked at the Yu family coldly: "Fourth aunt is better to be cautious, and be careful of causing death if you talk about the government and politics." ”

Yu Shi was shocked by He Linwan's cold gaze. Then he was a little annoyed and said, "Do you talk to your elders like this? Unruly girl, I don't know how your mother teaches you on weekdays." ”

Unexpectedly, Wei Shi answered lightly: "I teach her to be cautious in her words and deeds on weekdays, and as a woman, you must have the rules of being a woman." Don't care about what you shouldn't ask, but shut up when you shouldn't ask. All day long, the east and west are short, and even government affairs dare to beak at will. If this is known by the imperial history and participates in the last book, the whole family will suffer, if she dares to do this, I will cut her tongue, so as not to implicate a large family in the future. ”

The old lady slapped the small table in front of her and said angrily: "Shut up for me!

Wei lowered his head and was silent, and Yu glared at Wei fiercely and didn't speak.

After coming out of the old lady's courtyard, Wei's face was worried all the way, He Linwan knew that Wei's was worried about He Guanglie in Dengzhou, so he comforted: "Mother don't worry too much, Emperor Taizu originally accepted that General Luo built countless fortresses along the Liao River, and in Tianjin, Leiden set up governors and water divisions, in case Daji State would one day wave troops south to threaten my Great Zhou." Now, although Daji captured Liaoyang and Shenyang, it was because of a surprise, and now our dynasty has been prepared, and Dengzhou is a military town with perfect armament and a large army to suppress the formation, so it is not easy for Daji to capture Laizhou and Dengzhou. ”

Wei Shi sighed and touched He Linwan's head: "I'm not worried about this. Your father is a military general, and it is his duty to lead troops into battle, so I have to worry about it. Do you remember that your father sent someone back to give a New Year's gift during the Chinese New Year? This year, because of the lack of gifts, your fourth aunt said a few words. I heard the steward say that in the past two years, there have been drought and locust plagues in that area, and many people have died of starvation last winter, and the government has opened several granaries to release grain. ”

He Linwan immediately understood Wei's worries: "It was originally supposed for the government to open a warehouse and release grain to help the people, but if the war in Dengzhou was defeated due to the shortage of grain and grass this time, my mother was worried that the imperial court would condemn the officials of Dengzhou, and my father would also be implicated?"

Wei sighed: "Yes, I just hope that this battle will not drag on for too long." ”

He Linwan also frowned, the soldiers and horses did not move, the grain and grass went first, this is really a big problem, I am afraid that someone will continue the problem of grain and grass at that time. Fortunately, Dengzhou was originally a port, and it was quite convenient to dispatch grain and grass. However, these are all things that court officials should worry about, and they can't do anything even if they are worried.

On the second day, because of this sudden war, He Linwan didn't want to tell Wei that she was going out, she didn't sleep well at night when she thought about Brother Jie, Wei saw that she thought she was worried about her father, and comforted her a few words.

Today, when I went to greet the old lady, in addition to the second lady and the Yu family, there was also a middle-aged woman who was dressed decently, and this woman seemed to be very talkable in front of the old lady. The old lady also rewarded her with embroidery and sat on it.

Seeing Wei and He Linwan walking in, Yu immediately smiled maliciously: "I mentioned the third sister-in-law just now, I don't want the third sister-in-law to come, look at who is here today?"

The woman who was originally sitting on the embroidery pier got up to salute Wei, and said, "The slave maid has asked the third lady to say goodbye." ”

Wei glanced at the woman, bowed slightly, and said lightly: "Mama Duan is the old man in front of Mrs. Duan." There is no need for such a lot of courtesy. ”

Yu Shi covered his mouth and smiled: "Isn't it not polite? Why do you have to see each other like this? Mama Duan's daughter Qiu Xiang was sent to Dengzhou by the old lady last year to take care of the third uncle. Now maybe even the child is pregnant, but it can be regarded as sharing your worries with the third sister-in-law. Third sister-in-law, you have to be close to Mama Duan when you see it. ”

Wei ignored Yu and continued to stand aside as a wooden stake as usual.

The old lady asked Mama Duan: "The third child has never wanted to send letters to his home when he goes out." Has Qiu Xiang sent a letter back recently?"

Mama Duan glanced at Wei's, smiled and presented the burden she was carrying, and said to the old lady: "Qiu Xiang just sent a lot of good Korean ginseng back yesterday, saying that the third master specially bought it to honor the old lady." When the slave maid first came in, it had already been handed over to Haruka to collect. In addition, there are two pairs of shoes, one on the forehead. This is all made by Qiu Xiang herself. Qiu Xiang said that the third master is very good, and she is also very good, let the old man pay attention to his body, and kowtow to you when she comes back. ”

The old lady looked at the two pairs of shoes and wiped her forehead given by Mama Duan. The forehead was also set with gems according to the old lady's preference, and she couldn't help but nodded: "This girl's needlework is still so good, and my shoes were made by her when she was serving in my room." ”

Yu Shi smiled: "No, old lady, will you let her serve the third uncle? Although Shandong is close to Goryeo, I haven't seen Sanbo go to the mansion to pay homage to ginseng before. It can be seen that this inner courtyard still needs to have a sensible and reasonable master. ”

The second lady asked, "Did Qiu Xiang mention this war?"

Mama Duan shook her head and said: "The slave maid also went out today to hear that there was a fight over there, and Qiu Xiang should not have started the war when she came back from sending things, but the old lady and the second lady don't have to worry too much, the third master has many years of experience in leading troops, and his martial arts are extremely outstanding, so maybe he will make meritorious contributions this time." ”

Wei listened with his head down from beginning to end, not saying a word.

When Wei took He Linwan out of the old lady's courtyard, Mama Duan also came out, caught up with Wei and said with a smile: "Third wife, Qiu Xiang also sent two ginseng sticks to you and the two little masters to make up for your body, and there are also some high-quality Gaoli jade, which is said to be for you and the girl to make jewelry." Qiu Xiang originally thought that she would be able to kowtow to you when the third master returned to Beijing this year to report on her work, but she didn't want to encounter a war, and it is uncertain whether she can come back this year, so please forgive me. ”

He Linwan couldn't help but glance at this Duan Mama who was always smiling, although this Mama was middle-aged, she looked younger than her actual age, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes revealed a shrewd look. Although her posture and tone were very respectful when she spoke to Wei, this kind of thing was said to a main room, how to listen to it and reveal a strong force.

Wei Shi bowed lightly, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy on his face: "If you have a heart, give it to Mama Li to keep it." ”

Mama Duan didn't talk to Wei anymore, and left after handing the things in her hand to Mama Li.

Mama Li couldn't help but take a sip: "It's just a lowly minion, even if you are released out of the house to be a housekeeper, you are still a slave! Mrs. doesn't have to be angry with this kind of villain, as for that Qiu Xiang, it's just because you are not by the third master's side, so ......"

Wei interrupted lightly: "I'm tired, go back." ”

Mama Li sighed and stopped mentioning the mother and daughter.

He Linwan glanced at the Wei family, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how many men in this world are not greedy for flowers and lustful? Like the third master of the He family, He Linwan has never heard that he has other concubines, and today I heard that there is an old lady by his side who sent Qiu Xiang in the past, which is also rare. But He Linwan couldn't help but feel a little worse in his heart about this father he had never met.

The reason why He Linwan accepted the marriage with Xue Zixu was because the Xue family had a family rule that only if there were no children at forty could they take concubines, and although Xue Zixu's father Xue Yuancheng was in a high position, after so many years, there was only one young wife by his side. This article alone has made many famous ladies regard Xue Zixu as a lover in their dreams.

Wei was trying to go back to the West Garden. I don't want Yu to suddenly appear.

Yu looked at the box in Mama Li's hand, and said with a smile: "Yo, this is the filial piety given to you by Qiu Xiang's girl? ”

Mama Li sneered: "The fourth wife doesn't need to envy others, Qiu Hong next to you is also good." must be a lovely person in front of the fourth master. ”

Yu's face changed when he heard this.

Qiuhong, the maid who had been staying by Yu's side before, did not appear with Yu's in the past few days. It turned out that Qiu Hong was taken by Fourth Master He and took a fancy to the house. Although Yu did not make a noise, and did not mean to raise Qiu Hong, Mama Li knew it.

Wei rebuked Mama Li lightly and said: "Where is it your turn to interject when the master speaks! The fourth brother and sister are not only Qiu Hong, a lovely girl? Aunt Yujiao next to her and the previous girl Xiangrui are not all stronger than Qiu Xiang?"

He Linwan couldn't help but secretly shout hello for Wei. She really couldn't figure it out, why was she embarrassed to watch the liveliness of other people's backyards when Yu's own backyard was so lively?

Yu pointed at Wei and said angrily: "You ......"

Just when everyone thought that Yu was going to spill again, she took a few deep breaths to hold back this breath, and everyone couldn't help but be surprised when they saw it. But he saw Yu smiling coldly at Wei's: "It's not a new thing that there are many fox spirits in my house, my grandfather is such a person." What is dirty and smelly, he also likes to pull it on the kang. It's the third sister-in-law, you ......."

Yu Shi paused, took a few steps closer to Wei, and looked at her with undisguised malice and pleasure in his eyes: "I heard that when the third uncle asked the Wei family to marry you, he promised in front of you that there was only one wife in this life. If you don't marry a concubine, you won't have a room. But now you see, how many of this man's words are credible? In the end, isn't there still a Qiu Xiang by the third uncle's side? There are one and there are two, and there will definitely be no shortage of sisters in the third sister-in-law's house in the future. ”

Mama Li was stunned when she heard this. I couldn't help but look at Wei. But seeing that Wei's face had never been as immobile as a mountain, his face suddenly changed, and he turned a little pale.

Yu saw that Wei was like this. There is infinite happiness in the heart. The reason why she knew about the agreement between the third master of the He family and the Wei family back then was because she overheard the Wei family talking to her sister-in-law. At that time, Yu was envious and jealous of Wei in his heart, and felt that Wei was lucky to meet such a lover who was willing to treat her wholeheartedly.

When the Yu family herself married into the He family, and saw the third master of the He family obeying Wei's words like a jewel, and then compared with her husband's romance, the jealousy of Wei in her heart became more and more uncontrollable, and it was almost to the point where she was disgusted when she saw Wei.

He Guanglie and Wei really kept their promise after they got married, even if Wei only gave birth to a daughter and a mute son who couldn't speak for so many years, He Guanglie didn't have the intention of taking a concubine, Yu had pouted in front of the old lady three times and asked the old lady to stuff people in He Guanglie's room, but unfortunately He Guanglie didn't accept it, and Yu didn't have hope, thinking that maybe He Sanye was a man in a thousand miles, the old lady sent Qiu Xiang to Dengzhou, but Qiu Xiang was not sent back like the previous maids, He Sanye actually accepted it。

When Yu learned the news, she ate two more bowls of dinner that night, she just couldn't see Wei's good, and she was happy when Wei's was unlucky.

The Yu family was about to step on Wei's feet again, but He Linwan said: "The fourth uncle is about to be the commander of the Xicheng Soldiers and Horses, but the fourth aunt is a lot more idle, but the fourth aunt will definitely be more idle in the future." It is said that there are not many other things to do in this Xicheng Soldiers and Horses, and there are the most things to eat and drink, so it is really a good errand to say. ”

Yu Shi was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't react: "What?"

He Linwan winked at the Yu family: "What's the matter?" Fourth Aunt doesn't know how the last commander of the Xicheng Soldiers and Horses Division died?"

Wei interrupted He Linwan in a cold voice: "Ah Wan." ”

He Linwan looked at Yu Shi, who was looking at her suspiciously, smiled slightly, and stopped talking. Wei didn't pay any attention to Yu, turned around and went in the direction of the West Courtyard, and He Linwan and Mama Li also followed.

Mama Li was also a little curious about what He Linwan had just said about the previous commander of the Xicheng Soldiers and Horses, but looking at Wei's face, she still didn't ask.

After returning to the West Courtyard, He Linwan wanted to say a few words to make Wei happy, but Wei went back to the room under the pretext that he was unwell. Just now, the Yu family mentioned the agreement between He Sanye and the Wei family in front of everyone, and the Wei family didn't know how to face his daughter for a while.

Mama Li watched Wei leave worriedly: "Could it be that what the fourth wife said just now is true?"

He Linwan thought to the side. Looking at Weisser's reaction just now, there is a good chance that it is true. If this is the case, He Linwan's impression of He Sanye is extremely bad. A man who can't even keep his promise doesn't deserve to be called a man at all.

Fortunately, Yu didn't avoid it for too long, she was not the little girl who only thought of her husband after all, and she still had two children to rely on her to protect, so she didn't let herself be immersed in love for too long. No matter what He Guanglie does, they still have to live in the future. She still hopes that he will rise step by step and live a long life. Just because he is the father of her child.

After Yu went back, he always thought about what He Linwan said. So he secretly sent someone out to inquire.

In fact, it is not difficult to hear about the former commander of the Xicheng Soldiers and Horses, although the news was blocked for some reason after the accident and was not publicly publicized. But if you want to ask, you can still ask.

That master was killed by another concubine of his good friends in the brothel when he was drinking flower wine with his colleagues in the brothel, and cut his throat with a knife.

Yu Shi was taken aback when she heard this! Not only that, but she also inquired that the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division had to come into contact with the merchants in the city and the people in the workshop because of the complicated things they were in charge of. There is a lot of socializing on weekdays. So many people have a good relationship in the Goolan courtyard.

Yu couldn't help but be angry and anxious after learning about it, originally she saw that Fourth Master He had been spoiling Qiu Hong recently. didn't come to her house much, so he put down his face to curry favor with Mrs. You and find an errand for Fourth Master He. I don't think the gang of vixens in the house haven't been cleaned up yet, and the ones outside are coming again. The Yu family had a feeling of lifting a stone and hitting his own feet, and the little bit of bravailing power in front of the Wei family before was gone.

this day. Yu took He Linwan to follow the second lady to deal with housework in Mingshan Hall, and the second lady said: "The day before yesterday, the birthday of the virtuous concubine in the palace, the queen originally planned to hold a palace banquet for her because of the meritorious concubine Niangniang's contribution to giving birth to the imperial heir over the years and assisting in palace affairs for many years. I didn't want Concubine Xian Niangniang to ask for her birthday banquet to be canceled, and I also asked for a reduction in the palace. The silver taels saved were used to raise grain and grass. Both His Majesty and the Empress praised Concubine Xian, saying that she deserved the title of "Xian". ”

Wei rarely interjected about these foreign affairs: "I heard that Jinshang lost his temper a few times in the morning. ”

The second lady sighed: "Yes, it is said that it is for the sake of grain and grass, the household department can't come up with the money, and the military department has been pulling the skin a few times, and the war in Shandong is tightening, how can the mood be better today? ”

Wei said: "I heard that Concubine Xian Niangniang called on the ladies in Beijing to save money and use the savings to sell grain and grass to support the war?"

The second lady nodded: "Although this money and food is just a drop in the bucket compared to what the imperial court needs, it can be regarded as an attitude, but the business of those clothing shops and jewelry shops in Beijing is much lighter." Look at how much silver is still on the account of our mansion and the public high school, and we will donate some of it when the time comes, and as for how much we donate, we will see other families when the time comes. ”

Weiss responded.

The second lady said: "This virtuous concubine is a smart person. ”

He Linwan listened and thought on the side, this virtuous concubine is not only a smart person, don't look at her doing nothing in the palace over the years, and she looks like she has stuck to the golden mean, but she has been sandwiched between the queen and Concubine Ande for so many years, and she can still be like a fish in water and even help the assistant palace affairs, so that the queen and Concubine Ande dare not touch her, which shows that she is powerful.

The network always smokes at night.,It took forty minutes to come up last night.,I'm not at home for fear that I won't be able to post it in time to come back at night.,So I sent the two chapters together.,It's not going to be changed at nine o'clock in the evening.。
