Jia Lian got something from Jia's mother, even a baby, and was reluctant to hand it over to the little girl Xing'er who followed, so he personally held it and sent it back to the room, and then carefully found an extremely appropriate place to put the things away.

When I entered the house, I saw my wife holding Yingchun and teasing, and I didn't know what the two of them said, and their faces were full of smiles. Jia Lian also entered the house with a smile, and after saluting Mrs. Zhang, he came to him, poked Yingchun's little face and said, "Shame, I still need my wife to hug me when I'm so old." ”

Originally, Yingchun was overjoyed to see Jia Lian enter the house, and opened his arms to ask Jia Lian to hug him. Hearing Jia Lian's words, the smile immediately disappeared from his small face, and his small mouth also pursed. Putting his outstretched arms behind his back: "Yingchun is only three years old, why can't you let your wife hug you." Yingchun is not as big as Brother Lian! ”

Jia Lian smiled: "Okay, okay, I was wrong." Come and let my brother hug. He opened his hand towards Yingchun, but Yingchun didn't appreciate it, and continued to pout: "I don't want Brother Lian to hug me, I want Brother Hu to hug me." Hearing this, Jia Lian obviously saw that his wife's originally smiling face was a little more sad. Jia Lian was afraid that Yingchun would make his wife anxious, so he hurriedly said: "If you don't want your brother to hug you, then your brother won't give you good things." ”

Yingchun tilted his head and looked at Jia Lian when he heard this, Jia Lian took out a woodcarved rabbit from his sleeve and handed it to Yingchun.

Although Mrs. Zhang still had worries on her face, she was better with a pair of children around her knees. For the time being, put aside his worries about Jia Hu for the time being. Jia Lian frolicked with Yingchun for a while, Mrs. Zhang watched from the sidelines, and after a while she asked, "Why did you go to the old lady to ask for peace today?" Could it be that you will read the accounts to the old lady again? ”

Jia Lian shook his head: "Mrs. don't want to mention the matter of showing the old lady again." Now the old lady has already put away the account books, and she won't let me see them, saying that she is afraid that my eyes will not be bright after watching for a long time. ”

"That's fine," Mrs. Zhang nodded, "I don't know who your habit will follow?" Wouldn't it be better if you put your mind into reading. ”

Jia Lian smiled and said, "My talent is not as good as my brother, and no matter how hard I work, I can't do it." As soon as the words came out, Jia Lian immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly intercepted the words. Raise your eyes and look carefully at the wife's face.

Mrs. Zhang sighed and said, "Your brother is thousands of miles away now, and I don't know what the situation is. Counting the days, this book should be a few days. But it's gone, how can it not make me anxious? Which of you is not my heart, and which one of you is not in front of me, can I feel at ease? ”

Hearing Mrs. Zhang's sigh, Yingchun on the side pulled the corner of Mrs. Zhang's clothes and said, "Mrs. is not worried, Mrs. is not worried." Mrs. Zhang was very moved and took her to her arms.

Jia Lian also persuaded on the side: "Mrs., just rest assured, Xu is a long way away, and the people are delayed." It will be there in a few days. My brother is still quite measured. When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she had to nod. The three of them gossiped for a while, and then a maid came to ask about the meal. Mrs. Zhang explained a few words, and then ordered someone to ask Jia for pardon.

Because Shi Fei'er changed the rules, except for the big banquet, she didn't let her daughter-in-law come to serve when she was eating, and Jia Yu went to Jia's mother to eat a few times, but no one was waiting on the side, but she also felt clean, so she learned to listen to her wife. Mrs. Zhang also followed Jia's mother's example, and did not let her aunt and maid wait by her side during meals, and she didn't care about it at first, but she felt comfortable after a long time. Therefore, now the big house often eats together as a family.

Soon the meals were ready to stop, and the maid who went to ask Jia Yu hurriedly came back and said, "The old man has just left the house, I'm afraid I won't come back for dinner today." Mrs. Zhang was a little surprised when she heard this, this day is approaching the end of the year, there is no major event in the central government, and her master often sits in the study these days, and he doesn't even go to the stele forest, why is he in such a hurry to leave the house today. I always inform myself when I go out on weekdays, but I'm afraid there's something wrong with being in such a hurry today?

Mrs. Zhang was upset and speculated, but it was inconvenient to say it in front of Jia Lian Yingchun, so she had to order the maid to set up the food and vegetables, and the three of them sat down. Yingchun also noticed that his wife was not happy at this time, and he obediently held a bowl to eat. The three of them had their own thoughts, and after a hasty meal, they dispersed.

Let's say that since Jia Yu received Jia Hu's letter, he couldn't sit still. Why is this so, only because Jia Hu mentioned in the letter that the war in the border area is about to start, because the Uighurs have been in rebellion from time to time, and the prince intends to annihilate them in one fell swoop, and now that the war is imminent, it is inconvenient for him to return at this time, so he ordered someone to send a letter to inform his father. Now that the old lady is old and her health is not good, don't tell them for the time being.

Jia Yu pinched the letter and was naturally worried. It is true that he was born as a military general. But in his own generation, although he was called a first-class general, he had never led troops to fight at all, but he just relied on the merits of his ancestors to get some wealth. He was already a poor learner, and none of his sons went to attack the ancestral industry. This Jia Hu is good at reading and writing articles, but where has he ever seen a war! Where do you know the truth that the sword is ruthless, and the fist and foot are eyeless? Since childhood, it is the little thing taught in the school, and the like is just a game for rich and noble children, where have I seen a real fight with real knives and guns on the battlefield. What is the use of a scholar who can't carry it on his shoulders and can't carry it in his hands on the battlefield today? Besides, I've been cultivating it for so many years, so what if there is a mistake now? Wouldn't that cost you your own life?

Jia Yu pinched the letter and circled around the room, now that it is approaching the end of the year, if he reports this matter to the old lady and his wife at this time, I am afraid that the whole house will not be able to be practical this year. Besides, this letter has been on the road for some time, and now this war has not been fought? What's going on? I don't know anything about it, and the more I don't know about it, the more nervous I am when I guess alone. The more Jia Yu thought about it in the house, the more anxious he became, he couldn't stay any longer, so he hurried out of the house with the letter.

After leaving the mansion, Jia Yu rode his horse and rushed to the Zhongjing Palace. After all, Jia Hu went with Han Qi, and if there was really a war, the palace should be faster than he knew. Thinking like this, Jia Yu couldn't take care of much, and hurried to the palace.

Now Jia Yu is also a regular guest of the palace, and when Menzi saw that Jia Yu came in such a hurry, he hurriedly went to tell him, and after a short time, he brought Jia Yu into the study, and told the prince that he was meeting a guest, and asked the general to wait for a while. Jia Yu was helpless, but he had no choice but to do so, and while waiting, he took out Jia Hu's letter and read it carefully. I also complained secretly, why did I let him out with a soft heart in the first place? If you are safe and secure in Beijing, where will there be trouble?

"Brother Enhou, why are you in such a hurry to come here today?"

Hearing the words of the prince of Zhongsheng, Jia Yu took his eyes off the letter, and Jia Yu saw that the prince had entered the house and hurriedly got up to give a salute.

"Lord Wang, it's really helpless for Enhou to come to visit in a hurry." Jia Yu didn't bother to go around in circles, so he simply asked directly: "Does the prince know that the war can start now?" ”

Hearing Jia Yu say this, Prince Zhongsheng smiled, and while letting Jia Yu sit down, he said, "You are well-informed, and you got the letter so quickly?" When Jia Yu heard what the prince said, his heart was cold, and he was so afraid that the war had started. If that's the case, then Jahu doesn't know what the situation is now.

"Brother Enhou, don't worry." Prince Zhongsheng opened his mouth again: "Hu'er is just a small injury, but it only breaks some flesh and skin, and it does not hurt the muscles and bones. It should be no big problem, and there are already military doctors to help him with treatment. ”

What he said made Jia Yu almost collapse directly to the chair, why Hu'er was still injured. How do you get hurt? Where is the injury? Jia Yu had a large list of questions in his heart, and he didn't know which one to ask first.

"But it's all thanks to Hu'er's alertness, and this time it's a great achievement. The Nine Princes also wrote a special book to ask for credit for Hu'er. The loyal prince continued.

These words made Jia Yu even more confused, why did Hu'er still make meritorious contributions? Could it be that he also went into battle to kill the enemy? But he doesn't know how to do anything at all! The only way to know a set of swordsmanship is only occasionally used to move muscles and bones. How can you kill the enemy? Jia Yu couldn't believe it.

Jia pardoned his mind before he opened his mouth and asked, "Lord Wang, may I ask you, is this war going on now?" I just received Hu'er's letter today, and I just found out about it. His letter did not mention that he had been injured. I also want to ask the prince, where is his injury? ”

When the prince heard this, he said, "It turns out that you don't even know. I'm curious as to why you've been so quick to hear from you. I thought you had received a letter and were going to come to me to ask for your sin. Jia Yu hurriedly shook his head again and again, saying that he didn't dare, he was just anxious, thinking that the prince would have more news to find out the truth, and he would know about it. After speaking, Jia Yu took the opportunity to present Jia Hu's letter.

The loyal prince read the letter and comforted Jia Yu: "I only learned about this after receiving an emergency report of 800 miles. This time the Hugurs did not lie guilty, and they also pulled a detachment to repeatedly invade our territory. The Nine Princes wanted to eradicate them all together to prevent future troubles, but they were all deployed, and this time the Falcon didn't come! It was also thanks to Jia Hu's cleverness, he felt that there was fraud in this, so he built a plan for the Nine Kings deliberately, but he didn't expect to really catch the spy. It's just that Jia Hu was stabbed in the left shoulder while protecting the prince, but fortunately he didn't hurt his muscles and bones. This urgent report is not very detailed, but you don't have to worry, now the Nine Princes will follow Han Qi and Jia Hu to escort those spies back to Beijing together. You'll see it in a little while. Rest assured. ”

This remark was like a reassuring pill for Jia Yu, and he suddenly felt that a big stone in his heart fell to the ground. Zhongjing Wang Ye said: "This matter is very important, I know that you are thinking about it, so I will tell you first." Don't tell anyone about it, remember it. Jia Yu listened and nodded repeatedly.
