Chapter 571: Family
If it is said that when Xu Chenglin first rushed to the southeast, the emperor still supported it wholeheartedly, but now he is half-ignored, and the emperor occasionally discusses the southeast in the court, and the emperor has only a few words.
However, thinking of the news obtained by Weibei Houfu and Qin Wangfu, Xiao Shaotang had a few smiles on his lips:
"If you want to say Xu Shizi, he is really a rare talent, not only a fierce general, but also a well-versed person. ”
Bai Chenghuan didn't feel that these words were praising her brother at all, but felt empowered, and felt that her worries were a little redundant.
She smiled with pride:
"That's natural, my brother has always been steady and careful, he is not like those reckless people in the past, acting recklessly, and the result was all cleaned up by Lin Daocheng. Brother, even if he can't take the southeast for a while, he won't put himself in danger - the contest between him and Lin Daocheng is just a little longer, but I believe that as long as the emperor is not crazy, the southeast land will ultimately belong to my brother!"
Xiao Shaotang's originally smiling eyes flashed a few times - this "brother" is called naturally and intimately, if you don't know, you will definitely think that Xu Chenglin is Huanhuan's brother, and his brother-in-law Bai Xianghuan should be a brother who is more than polite and not cordial with Huanhuan.
But none of this matters.
No matter what happened to her, whatever happened to her made sense, or ...... It doesn't matter what the origin is.
Bai Chenghuan couldn't hear Xiao Shaotang's reply, and withdrew his gaze from the dark night to look at him:
"Why? You don't believe it? My brother can speak Hokkien now, isn't it amazing?"
Xiao Shaotang nodded again and again:
"Awesome, awesome!"
In the past, the emperor and the emperor did not have the idea of taking back the control of the southeast from the Lin family, but the officials sent to it, whether they were civil servants or military generals, could not fight against the local snake like the Lin family, and fled back to the capital from the humid and hot southeast with a wounded and sick.
Only Xu Chenglin, after going to the southeast, although he did not take over the three southeastern states from the Lin family in one fell swoop, he was able to gain a firm foothold in the land controlled by the Lin family, which shows that he is extraordinary.
Besides, there are so many officials sent, and there is not a single person who can take the initiative to learn Hokkien.
The local dialects of Daqi are different, among which Hokkien and Shaanzhou dialect are the most difficult to speak, Xu Chenglin, a native of the capital family, but went to learn Hokkien and learned - this alone shows that he is by no means a thing in the pool.
What's more, on the school field in the Ningzhou military camp, Xu Chenglin's skillful posture with bows and horses, he has never forgotten it.
When Bai Chenghuan heard that he also agreed, he was naturally infinitely happy, and his eyes were shining:
"When my brother returns to Beijing in the future, I will also follow my brother to learn Hokkien!"
"Whatever you want, as long as you're happy. ”
As long as she is happy, Xiao Shaotang has no opinion.
After two days, the Weibei Houfu passed the news, and Bai Chenghuan immediately went out to the Weibei Houfu, as for the Qin Wangzi, who was known to outsiders to have an awkward quarrel with the princess of King Qin, he could only wait for the second half of the day to come to the door to pick her up.
As soon as she entered the door, Mrs. Wei Beihou ordered someone to bring up the ginseng chicken soup that had been stewed all night.
"Drink it while it's hot, go to the cold, look at your face, Yuzhou ran a trip, and lost a few points, and there is no elder in the Qin Palace, you should pay more attention to yourself, you should make up for yourself, make up for yourself, otherwise if the body is empty, the heirs will not be smooth in the future......"
Mrs. Wei Beihou personally took a small bowl of chicken soup for her, and whispered in her ear, full of concern.
Wei Beihou also very lovingly thought on the side:
"Drink more, this ginseng chicken soup is not worth anything, but it is rare for your mother to have a piece of heart, personally watching people boil, she will think you are thin when you come back, you hurry up and raise it back, and it will save her from worrying!"
Bai Chenghuan held the steaming chicken soup, agreed with a smile, endured the slight astringency of the ginseng and drank a bowl, and served another bowl.
According to the custom in Beijing, young people don't use ginseng to replenish their bodies when they have nothing to do, this is all medicine for the elderly, but at this time, her mother and relatives have personally boiled ginseng and chicken soup for her, which shows how deep the worry is in her heart.
Although she doesn't like the taste of ginseng, as long as she can comfort her parents, she can still do it by pinching her nose and drinking a few more bowls.
It's nice to be surrounded by family like this.
When Mrs. Wei Beihou saw that she was obedient, and the smile on her face increased, she said to her:
"Although it is still snowing today, but Sixian said early in the morning that she would come over, in order not to make the Duchess of Liang Guo unhappy, my mother also invited your cousin Wanrou to come over, and your eldest sister also said that she wanted to come, but on such a snowy day, it is inconvenient for her to hold a big belly, I have already ordered someone to tell her that she doesn't have to come, but I don't know if she listens to me. ”
Bai Chenghuan praised his mother for being thoughtful.
In this way, a few female relatives who are close to Weibei Houfu have been gathered, even if they are known, they have absolutely nothing to say, and no one can say that Liangguo Mansion has anything to do with Weibei Houfu.
Besides, she could guess what her mother meant, she must have known that Cousin Wanrou had a little trouble with them when she got married, and wanted to ease their relationship.
In the end, it is her mother's niece, Bai Chenghuan doesn't care, as long as Shi Wanrou doesn't stir up trouble again, she will definitely treat her as a cousin.
There is also the eldest sister, who is now almost five months pregnant, and her belly does not know how much bigger.
When Bai Chenghuan's chicken soup was almost drunk, it was announced outside that Miss Liang had arrived.
Bai Chenghuan's eyes lit up, and he got up and went out.
Since the wedding, I haven't seen Liang Sixian for two months, and I saw a tall figure wearing a big red feather gauze cloak walking in, and Bai Chenghuan's eyes were actually hot.
"Sixian!"
She stepped forward and held Liang Sixian's hand, but Liang Sixian quickly avoided it, and said with a smile while taking off her cloak and handing it to the people waiting beside her:
"I'm a person who walks in in the cold ground, and you're not afraid of freezing you!"
"I'm not afraid! You're still a young lady in the Guogong Mansion, I don't believe that no one will hold a hand stove for you!" Bai Cheng replied with a smile.
When Liang Sixian heard her say this, he simply stretched out his two hands and put them on her face to keep warm:
"You try, see if it's icy!"
The two laughed a few words, and walked in hand in hand, Liang Sixian respectfully saluted Mrs. Wei Beihou, Mrs. Wei Beihou also smiled very kindly, it could be seen that she liked Liang Sixian in her heart, but Liang Sixian immediately became nervous, and her face quietly showed a little shyness, which was slightly different from the generous and natural strength before.
When Bai Chenghuan saw Liang Sixian like this, the depression of these days was immediately swept away, and he almost laughed out loud - his mother didn't think much about it, but Liang Sixian, I was afraid that she was in the mood of seeing her in-laws with her daughter-in-law, so you can imagine how worried she would be!
Thinking about it like this, Bai Chenghuan's eyes lit up a little more, Sixian, what progress has he made with his brother?
