After three days and three nights, Du Zheng finally joined Yunqing within the specified time.

Looking at Du Zheng, whose eyes were full of bloodshots, Yunqing said, "Go down and rest first, and we'll discuss it later." "No matter how anxious you are, you can't ignore the bodies of the soldiers.

Du Zheng was not reckless, and nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Jiangnan is a rainy place, and every rainy season, the rain will come as scheduled. Yunqing woke up in the morning to find that it was raining outside.

Slowly, the rain became heavier and heavier. On the roof, in the courtyard, a layer of white rain and mist was splashed, like an ethereal white veil. A gust of wind blew, and the white veil drifted away. Raindrops hit the puddles in the yard and struck the rain flowers.

When Du Zheng came over, he felt that Yunqing was not in a good mood. Du Zheng naturally knew the reason and said: "Lord Wang, the rain is not heavy, we can also attack the city." ”

When it rains, the walls become slippery, which makes the siege more difficult. Yun Qing shook his head and said, "No, attacking the city in this kind of weather will cause greater casualties." ”

Du Zheng said: "Then I can only hope that the rain will stop as soon as possible." "When the rain stops, they can take the city.

Yun Qing was a little worried in his heart, and said, "Hope!" Yun Qing was really worried that this rain would be a few days. The delay for such a long time was enough for Yu Baojia to have enough time to transport his belongings away. But he couldn't do it if he risked the lives of the soldiers for money.

Du Zheng said: "It would be nice if we had a sailor. "With sailors, you can go down to sea to intercept those ships, you don't have to sit here and wait.

Yunqing said: "Needless to say, I just hope that this rain will stop soon." ”

As Yunqing was worried, the rain kept falling, and it didn't stop for three days, and it didn't stop.

Not to mention Yunqing, even Du Zheng was a little anxious: "When will this rain stop?" If it is ten and a half days and a half, then the daylily will really be cold.

After being too anxious, Yun Qing's mind calmed down: "Heaven is not beautiful, we can only wait patiently." "It's raining all day, and it's useless for them to be anxious,

Du Zheng smiled bitterly: "I have always heard that there is a lot of rain in the south of the Yangtze River, but now I really realize it." "There is a shortage of water in the northwest, and in times of drought it is more precious than silver. But there is too much water here to be desired.

Yun Qing said calmly: "Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice. "Where do you get fish and rice without water?

At noon on this day, Yunqing received Yuxi's letter, and after reading it, Yunqing's expression eased a lot.

Du Zheng didn't ask. If it's a business matter, you don't need to ask Yunqing to say it, and if you ask about a private matter, you won't say it.

After Yun Qing put down the letter, he said, "The princess said in the letter that she had sent someone to Fujian to find Qiu Ye. "Fujian's sailors often deal with pirates, and their combat effectiveness is not comparable to these sailors in Jiangnan. Of course, there is also a point that Qiu Ye has 40,000 sailors in his hands, and Yu Baojia only has more than 10,000 in his hands, and Qiu Ye will definitely have the upper hand in the fight.

Du Zheng understood as soon as he heard it: "Does the princess want to ask Qiu Ye, the chief soldier of Fujian, to send troops to intercept Yu Baojia's fleet?" Seeing Yunqing nodding, Du Zheng said with some unease: "What if Qiu Ye robs those belongings and doesn't give them to us?"

Yun Qing said: "The worst thing is that all this money has been taken away by Qiu Ye. It's better to give it to Qiu Ye than to let Yan Wushuang get it. However, if Qiu Ye dares to swallow the share that should be given to us, he will send troops to Fujian when Qiantang is defeated. "He's not easy to take advantage of.

Du Zheng nodded and said, "When the time comes, the prince can't leave me behind." "Jiangnan has been laid, and the next five places are Fujian, Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangzhou. These five places have been subdued, and the entire south is theirs, and they will rest for a while, and then they will compete with Yan Wushuang.

Yunqing nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't leave you behind." ”

It is rainy on this side of Changshui, but it is sunny in the northwest. When the weather is good, the mood is also easy to improve.

This morning, Liu Er gave a pair of socks to Yuxi.

Holding the socks, Yuxi said with a smile: "Just do it once in a while, don't hurt your hands." "The girl's hand, but the second face, can't be full of pinholes.

Liu Er hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, mother, I will do needlework for half an hour every day." "Liu'er's time is also arranged very closely. Although she doesn't practice martial arts, she doesn't follow the same path as Zaozao, but she also wants to become a leader in her own circle.

Yuxi touched Liu'er's head and said with a smile: "It's very good, my mother likes it very much." "The best encouragement for what a child does is praise.

Hearing this, Liu Er smiled so much that her eyebrows and eyes were bent.

In the evening, Zao Zao came back from the front yard with a bitter face, and Brother Hao and Brother Rui didn't look very good.

Yuxi smiled and asked, "What's the matter, so that you all look like frosted eggplants one by one?" It's also that the children are all in the palace, and Yuxi knows that there won't be any big deal, otherwise, Yuxi would have been scared when he saw a few children like this.

Zao Zao sat on the chair with a big grin, and then said with a displeased face: "It's been raining over there in Changshui, and it doesn't stop, and my father is trapped by the rain and can't attack the city." ”

Yuxi smiled and asked, "That's it?"

Zao Zao was dissatisfied with Yuxi's attitude: "Mother, what do you mean by this, how much do you have to lose by delaying for a day?"

Yuxi won't smile anymore, saving her daughter from being unhappy: "You know better than you how much you lost." However, Jiangnan is the rainy season at this time, and your father happened to run into it, so there is no way. ”

Zao Zao muttered: "Mother, you said that it would be nice if the rain over there was transferred to our side." "There is a shortage of water on their side, but the rain is flooding on the south side of the river.

Yuxi couldn't help but laugh again: "If that's the case, then the mother won't worry." ”

Brother Hao felt that the topic was off: "Mother, I heard that Yu Baojia has prepared a ship to transport all the belongings to the capital. If it is delayed like this again, even if Dad lays down Qiantang by then, what he will get is an empty city. ”

Yuxi hummed and said, "If Tiangong is not beautiful, then there is no way." After a pause, Yuxi said again: "Ah Hao, the rich land and rich resources in the south of the Yangtze River are the most valuable. The money in Yu Baojia's hands, it is good to be able to get it, but it is nothing if you can't get it. "It's good to be able to get it, but you can't be too disappointed if you don't get it. As a high-ranking person, you can't take the gains and losses too seriously, otherwise it is easy to lose your normal heart.

Brother Hao was a little embarrassed and said, "Mother, I know." ”

Brother Rui clenched his little fist and said, "Mother, when I grow up, I will lead my troops into the capital and rob them of all their gold and silver treasures." ”

Yuxi laughed: "Arrow, don't kill or rob at every turn, when you grow up, you want to be a general, not a bandit." "Kill and rob at every turn, but you can't get rid of a bandit alive.

Brother Rui touched his head and said, "Then I said something wrong." ”

Yuxi said with a smile: "Go rinse your mouth and wash your hands, and if you have anything to say, you will talk about it after eating." "Every time I talk to the children, Yuxi is in a very good mood.

After dinner, Lu Shi came over. deliberately chose this time, and it was also Lu Xiu who knew that only at this time Yuxi would have time.

Zao Zao and Brother Hao gave Lu Xiu a few gifts, and they all went out. Lu Xiu came over to talk about some family things, and they were not interested.

Lu Xiu took a sip of tea, and first mentioned some of the gossip he had heard recently to Yuxi.

After listening to it, Yuxi felt that it was of little value.

Lu Xiu hesitated, but still told Yuxi about the Han family: "Princess, there is a mother-in-law who chewed her tongue in front of her sister-in-law and said that Feng Zhi Ao had a marriage, and the sister-in-law was so angry that she fainted to death. ”

Yuxi snorted and asked, "And then?"

Lu Xiu smiled bitterly: "After she woke up, I had already explained to her that it was not like that, but I didn't know what happened to my sister-in-law, so she decided that the Feng family was ruined in order to climb high branches." The sister-in-law muttered that she wanted to withdraw from her family. ”

Seeing Yuxi's sarcastic smile on her face, but she didn't answer her words, Lu Xiu knew that Yuxi was angry. But it can't be helped, this matter has to be solved. Lu Xiu said: "She said that the Feng family was unreliable, and she couldn't harm Qiqi for the rest of her life, and even dragged her sick and weak body to beg her mother." ”

Yuxiren leaned back in his chair and asked with a smile, "Mother won't agree to her ridiculous request, right?"

Lu Xiu shook her head and said, "Although my mother is old, she also knows that this marriage is decided and cannot be withdrawn casually. "Unless the man is really unbearable or has made some big mistakes, women generally will not take the initiative to withdraw from their relatives. And Feng Zhiao is a good son, this family will definitely not be able to find a better family than this after retiring from Qiqi.

Yuxi just asked casually, even if the Qiu family agreed to withdraw from the family, he would not be able to withdraw from the family business without the consent of the eldest brother.

Lu Xiu saw that Yuxi didn't ask anymore, so she could only continue to say: "Sister-in-law saw that she couldn't make sense, so she went to force Qiqi." ”

Yuxi didn't want to listen anymore, so she just asked, "What do you want me to do when my second sister-in-law came here today?"

Lu Xiu smiled bitterly: "My mother and I feel sorry for Qiqi's child, she was forced by her sister-in-law to not want to live anymore...... We really can't think of a way, so my mother asked me to ask you for an idea.

Yuxi said lightly: "My mother and second sister-in-law can't help it, and I can't help it either." "Qiqi is Ye's biological daughter, no matter how much Ye does it, Qiqi will not hold a grudge when the matter passes. But if she made a move, Ye's health was not good, once she had three long and two short, she would not be a person inside and out. And she doesn't want to care about these things in her mother's family. Besides, she is so busy every day that her feet don't touch the ground, how can she have time to take care of these things.

Marrying a wife is not virtuous and the house is restless, Yuxi now has a deep understanding. After a pause, Yuxi said, "Second sister-in-law, you send someone to tell the eldest brother about this matter and let the eldest brother deal with it." "In the previous life, the Ye clan was stupid and brought the scourge of Minjie into the Guogong Mansion. She didn't reflect on her mistakes, but thought that her mother supported Yu Minjie and treated her mother as an enemy, and finally made the entire Guogong Mansion a miasma. This life doesn't stop, lying in bed and still tossing, I just don't know when to toss myself to death.

Lu Xiu nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Yuxi thought for a while and said, "In addition, you told the eldest brother to let him settle Jiachang's marriage as soon as possible." "Jiachang is the eldest son of the eldest brother and the heir of the Han family. If his wife is not good, the third generation of the Han family will be ruined.

Lu Xiu nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Yuxi put aside what happened just now, and asked with a smile: "It's April, and the weather is the most changeable, so let the maids and mother-in-law beside my mother pay more attention." "This season, if you're not careful, you can catch a cold.

Lu Xiu responded with a smile, and the smile was a little unnatural.

Yuxi thought for a while and said, "When this war is over, I will let the eldest brother and the second brother come back." "The Qiu family has been talking about their two sons, and it is not a big deal to let them come back once the situation is stable. If the Ye family can use it, in fact, Lu Xiu can follow Han Jianye to take office. It's a pity that the Ye family has become a waste, and the Han family still needs Lu Xiu to operate, so Lu Xiu can't go.

Lu Xiu's smile was much more real: "That's good." "In recent years, the husband and wife have not had many opportunities to see each other every year.

Yuxi thought for a while and said, "You don't have to pay attention to the person who the second brother is in Shudina, even if she gives birth to a child, she can't go past you." "Han Jianye is high-ranking and powerful, and he is not bad, and he is her brother, and there are many people who please him. At the beginning of last year, Han Jianye didn't hold on to a beautiful concubine, and the concubine gave birth to a son in February this year, and the news was sent back to Ho City, and Yuxi didn't know it.

Lu Xiu shook his head with a smile: "The master is in Shudi, and there is a person by his side who knows the cold and the heat, which is a good thing." And that was true. There are very few good men like Yunqing in this world, and you have to be blessed to meet them. She asked herself if she was not a blessed person, so she didn't have such extravagant hopes. Moreover, she thinks that Han Jianye is already very good, at least she doesn't enter the door one after another like other men.

Seeing Lu Xiu away, Yuxi couldn't help but say to Grandma Quan: "Grandmother taught both eldest brother and Yuchen very well, but this vision is really not good." "Not to mention the Ye family, even the Qiu family is not a qualified housewife.

Quan Mama said: "The old lady first looks at her family background, followed by her ability and character. "Those with good family background, ability and good character can't look down on the declining Guogong Mansion.

Yuxi shook his head and said: "The first thing to choose a daughter-in-law is to look at ability and character, as long as the family background is not too bad." "The family background is too poor, and the girl can't be taught and nurtured well.

Mama Quan said with a smile: "In the future, the princess wants to choose any kind of daughter-in-law for the prince and the second master." "Brother Hao's daughter-in-law, in the future, Yu Xi will pick it vigorously.

Yuxi smiled and said, "What I like is useless, the most important thing is that they have to look at it themselves." "Husbands and wives have to live for a lifetime, and if you don't like it, you won't be able to live a harmonious life in the future. Yuxi himself is doing well, and he also hopes that the children can live happily.

Mama Quan disagreed, and said, "The princess also has to palm her eyes first." They are young and inexperienced, and they are easily deceived by scheming girls. In that case, it's not very appropriate. "Pretending to be kind and pure on the face, but vicious and ruthless on the inside, such a woman has seen a lot.

Yuxi smiled and said, "It must be over my eyes." "This daughter-in-law didn't pick it well, and she will have to suffer in the future, so she will definitely not be able to enter the door without her consent.

Mama Quan thought for a while and said, "Princess, the prince is also seven years old, should I buy him a few more maids?" The maids selected this time should be of outstanding appearance. "There are beauties all around me, so I won't be casually hooked by a beauty in the future.

Yuxi heard the meaning of Mama Quan's words, nodded and said, "It's time to put a few maids next to Ah Hao." ”
