January, still in the cold.

Zao Zao stood at the door, exhaled and rubbed his hands, and then entered the house. As he walked, he untied the cloak he was wearing.

There was nothing to do on this day, Yunqing asked Yuxi to go back to the backyard to rest. When Zao Zao came in, Yuxi was sitting at the table reading a book, reading very seriously.

Zao Zao called his mother and frightened Yuxi. Yuxi said angrily: "You kid, why are you walking silently?"

Zao Zao smiled and said, "Mother, it's not that I walk silently, it's that you are too involved." "Once her mother reads a book, she can forget everything.

Yuxi sandwiched the red leaves in the book, put them aside casually, and then asked with a smile: "What happened when you came here at noon?"

Zao Zao walked over and put his arm around Yuxi's shoulders and said, "Mother said this, as if I can't find you if it's okay." ”

Yuxi patted Zaojube's hand and said, "You were born to me, I still don't know about you?"

Zao Zao's eyes rolled when he heard this, and he said with a smile: "Mother, since this is the case, can you guess what I am looking for you?"

Yuxi laughed: "This still needs to be guessed, knowing that Guizhou is going to fight in the spring, you can't bear it and want to go." She saw through that little thought at a glance.

Zao Zao smiled and said, "My mother is really amazing, I think any mother can know." Mother, I came up with the New Year's Eve and went back to the barracks. "Her mother is so good that she can't hide anything, so if there is something, it's better to get straight to the point.

Yuxi shook his head and said, "No." ”

Zaozao's face suddenly collapsed, but she also knew that Yuxi ate soft and not hard, so she deliberately pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Mother, you said before that you want me to become a veritable female general." Mother, if you don't let me go, how can I make a contribution to becoming a female general?"

Yuxi poked Zaojube's forehead and said, "It's not that I won't let you go, it's just that it will be later." "This girl has grown up, and she actually knows how to use mourning for her.

Zao Zao immediately rained and the sky was clear, and he hurriedly asked: "Mother, when is it? It's not good if you go too late." ”

Yuxi smiled and said, "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." "Don't say it, let this girl be in a hurry.

Zao Zao shook Yuxi vigorously and said, "Mother, just tell me! Mother, just tell me!"

Yuxi hurriedly pushed her away, stood up and said, "Don't shake it again, if you shake it again, this old bone will fall apart." ”

Zao Zao laughed: "Nonsense, my mother looks younger and more beautiful than me, so how can I be old! ”

Yuxi scolded with a smile: "Younger and more beautiful than you? You look in the mirror and see what you look like?"

Zao Zao was not angry, and said happily: "You don't need to look in the mirror, just look at my father to know what I look like." ”

Yuxi couldn't resist the crooked entanglement of jujubes, and said: "This time, your father is going to personally send troops to attack Guizhou, and you will go with your father when the time comes." "With Yunqing, Zao Zao can learn more things. It's not that Du Zheng and the others don't teach, it's just that Yunqing's father doesn't have the heart.

Zao Zao was so happy when he heard this, he was so happy to be able to go out to fight with his father.

Seeing Zaozao's joyful appearance, Yuxi warned her: "This matter has not been announced to the public, and no one else is allowed to tell it." ”

Zao Zao eyebrows opened his eyes and smiled: "Mother, don't worry! My mouth is stricter than a mussel, and I won't tell anyone." Obviously, Brother Hao is not within the scope of what she said.

Brother Hao was very envious when he knew this, and said to Yuxi: "Mother, I also want to go out with my father." ”

Yuxi refused without thinking about it: "No, you are still young, wait until you are older." "This eight-year-old kid went out with him, and it was just a complete mess.

Although it was expected, Brother Hao was still a little disappointed.

In the afternoon, Lu Xiu came to visit Yuxi. I haven't seen her for a while, and Yuxi feels that Lu Xiu is a lot more mellow. Also, the Ye family is gone, the Qiu family went to Jiangnan again, and Lu Xiu only needs to worry about the marriage of the eldest son now, and there is nothing else to worry about, so he will naturally be wide-hearted and fat.

After saying some common words, Yuxi asked: "Brother Shun will be seventeen years old in the new year, has his marriage been settled?" Although the man got married late, he should also say kiss at the age of seventeen, and the family matter is set, and the marriage will be completed two years later.

Lu Xiu nodded with a smile and said, "The eldest girl of Governor Liu's family is very good, I want to ask someone to deliver a message to Mrs. Liu in the future to see what Mrs. Liu means." ”

His family knows his own business, Han Jiashun's martial arts are not very good, and it is difficult to have a good future in the army with his ability. With their family background, it is not difficult to donate officials. Liu Biyuan is a civil official, although he hasn't studied much, but he has an excellent future. Set the girl of the Liu family, and Master Liu will definitely follow his son. Of course, Liu Yue also looked at Lu Xiu and met her requirements for her daughter-in-law. Otherwise, no matter how old Liu Biyuan is, she will not marry this family.

Yuxi asked, "Are you talking about Liu Yue?" Liu Yue is Liu Biyuan's eldest daughter.

Seeing Lu Xiu nodding, Yuxi said, "Since you picked it, I think it is something outstanding." "Liu Biyuan is an official donor, and she hasn't studied much, but her wife is from a scholarly family. In my memory, Madame Liu was a soft-spoken and very kind woman. As for what Liu Yue looks like and what temperament, Yuxi has no impression.

Lu Xiu said with a smile: "That girl has a good temperament and is very temperamental to me. ”

Yuxi said with a smile: "Not only to your temper, but also to Brother Shun'er." This couple is going to live a lifetime, if Brother Shun doesn't like it, it will hurt the two children. ”

Lu Xiu nodded and said, "I asked the child, and the child said that the parents are in charge of marriage, as long as I think it is good, it will be done." It was also Brother Shun who believed in Lu Xiu's gaze.

Being able to say this means that Brother Shun is not opposed to this marriage. Yuxi smiled and said, "Brother Shun is a filial child. ”

Lu Xiu immediately complimented: "If you want to talk about filial piety, there is no one who can compare to the big county lord and the prince." Who doesn't know that the princess is the best at teaching children, and several children are more filial than the other, which makes people envious. ”

Yuxi shook his head and said: "What filial piety, just the girl who is a jujube, she will not let me worry about her for a day when she grows so big." Now it's just that she wants to join the army, you say that who would dare to marry her as a domineering and girl-like girl?"

Lu Xiu couldn't pick up this for a while, just like jujubes, it will be a big problem to get married in the future. After a while, Lu Xiu said with a smile: "The lord of the county is like a princess, and the women don't let the eyebrows go." ”

Yuxi smiled, exposed the topic and said, "I received a letter from my eldest brother a few days ago, saying that my mother was in much better health there. In the past, my mother would cough every time the season changed, but last year this old problem did not recur. ”

Lu Xiu really didn't know about this: "It is said that Jiangnan raises people, but now it seems to be true." ”

As she was talking, Meilan raised her voice outside and said, "Princess, the prince is back." ”

After Lu Xiu gave Yunqing a salute, he went back.

Without waiting for Yunqing to ask, Yuxi took the initiative to say: "The second sister-in-law just came to talk to me about family matters, and also talked about Brother Shun's marriage. The second sister-in-law fell in love with Liu Biyuan's eldest daughter and wanted to hire Brother Shun and ask my opinion. ”

Yunqing has a good feeling for Lu Xiu, Lu Xiu has never had a moth in the past ten years, and he has taken care of the Han family properly: "Although Liu Biyuan didn't read much, he was a transparent person. "Otherwise, I won't be able to get the reuse of the husband and wife, and I will be in my early forties from the position of the governor of the second grade.

Yuxi hummed and said: "Liu Biyuan is sleek, but he has his own set of principles for doing things. I think that the second sister-in-law probably wanted to hire the eldest girl of the Liu family because of this, so that Brother Shun would be able to get the guidance of Lord Liu in the future. ”

Yun Qing smiled when he heard this and said, "That's right, what about the eldest brother or the governor of Jiangnan?"

Yuxi shook his head and said, "How can a nephew be the same as a son-in-law?" Han Jianming himself also has several sons, and he has always been busy, how can he have time to guide Brother Shun.

Hearing Yuxi's command, Yun Qing asked a little strangely: "They are also the daughters-in-law of the Han family, why is the gap so big?" Lu Xiu is shrewd and capable and has a clear mind, as for the Ye family, don't say it.

Yuxi heard what Yun Qing meant, and said, "Twenty years ago, the Ye family was very powerful, and the Ye family was defeated after the death of Master Ye. Grandmother took a fancy to the power of the Ye family that day, so she gave the eldest brother a sister-in-law. "In the eyes of the old lady, family background comes first, and character is not important.

After a pause, Yuxi said: "The second sister-in-law was chosen by me, and my mother decided on it after seeing it." "I was about to talk about the entanglement between the Ye family and Lu Xiu.

Yunqing smiled and said, "It turned out to be your credit, and I said when my mother-in-law's vision was so good." "It's not that he said bad things about Qiu, Qiu is really not a competent housewife. Otherwise, it wouldn't have let the Ye family produce so many moths.

This statement inevitably reminds me of what happened when I was a child. Yuxi said: "Although I didn't worry about food and clothing when I was a child, my father didn't care about my grandmother and didn't like it, and the only one in the Han Mansion who cared about me was my second brother." Every time he came back from outside, he would bring me good food and fun, no matter what I wanted him to do, as long as he could do the Tao. It was also because of this friendship that Han Jianye almost killed her that day, and Yuxi did not blame her for holding a grudge.

Yun Qing heard these things for the first time, and asked, "What about the mother and the eldest brother, don't they care about you?"

Yuxi shook his head and said, "It's not that they don't care, it's just that they all had their own things to do at that time." In addition, I am a child in the second room, so it is inconvenient for them to interfere, and I can eat and live like other sisters, and I also have my mother's Buddha. ”

Yunqing hugged Yuxi and said, "You have suffered. "I want him to live happily and comfortably before he is ten years old, and the only thing that worries him is that he will be punished by his husband and grandfather for not finishing his schoolwork. And Yuxi lived tremblingly when he was a child, no wonder he was so heavy-minded.

Yuxi smiled and said, "Mama said that I was bitter first and then sweet, I think this is very true." "This life is bitter and then sweet, but the previous life is bitter from beginning to end, and finally dies tragically.

In fact, Yuxi also suffered a lot when he married him, and he didn't live a few days of peace of mind. But Yuxi was very satisfied with such a day, which made Yun Qing feel very guilty and feel more and more pity. Yunqing said solemnly: "I won't let you suffer again in the future." ”

Yuxi nodded and said, "I believe it." ”

Out of the first month, Yunqing wanted to prepare for the expedition, and the government affairs returned to Yuxi's hands. Yuxi, start a busy life again. Fortunately, her schedule is very reasonable, and she is supervised by Mama Quan, so Yunqing has nothing to worry about.

The closer the day of the expedition, the more reluctant Yunqing is to Yuxi. After the husband and wife lingered on this day, Yunqing hugged Yuxi and said: "I won't go anywhere after the battle, I will accompany you every day." ”

Yuxi immediately said: "After this expedition, you can only personally lead the troops twice. It's too much, I don't follow. "One is to attack the northern captivity, and the other is to attack the capital.

Yun Qing regretted that he had just said too much: "Only twice?"

Yuxi hummed and said: "When you conquer the capital, you will have to sit in the capital at that time, and it is not appropriate to lead the troops in person." "If you conquer the capital Yunqing, you will be called the emperor, and this emperor can't just drive the emperor casually.

Yun Qing hurriedly said: "And Liaodong! After conquering Liaodong, I will no longer lead troops to the battle." ”

Yuxi snorted and said, "Liaodong is Yan Wushuang's old nest, and it can't be defeated in ten or eight years." Do the math, how old will you be by then?"

Yun Qing thought about it and said, "Then let Ah Hao lead the troops to the expedition at that time." Ten years later, Ah Hao is also eighteen years old and can lead troops to fight.

In this regard, Yuxi did not object: "It is necessary to give the opportunity to young people." "Of course, no matter how smart Ah Hao is, he is there, and he is not qualified enough to be a coach and does not have enough combat experience, but he can still be a deputy coach.

The husband and wife talked for a long time before falling asleep.

Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is the day when Yunqing will go on the expedition. It is a good day to set out on this day of wind and beauty.

Yun Qing was wearing a royal blue power suit, wearing a belt of the same color around his waist, and a dark purple moire mink fur outside. Riding on a horse, with a straight face, domineering.

Zao Zao was wearing her silver-gray armor and riding a red horse with a smile on her face.

The father and daughter look the same, but their expressions are diametrically opposed. Yuxi looked at them, and for some reason, the sorrow in his heart dissipated a lot.

Zao Zao waved his hand at Yuxi and his party and said, "Mother, Ah Hao, my father and I will be back soon." After speaking, he said to Yunqing: "Dad, let's go!"

Yunqing looked at Yuxi and said, "Pay attention to your body, don't be tired anymore." "In the past, when he went on the expedition, he was as free and easy as jujubes, but now he is very reluctant.

Yuxi nodded with a smile and said, "You also have to take care of your body, and you have to eat three meals regularly." ”

Zao Zao felt that Yuxi was talking too much, but she didn't dare to interrupt Yuxi's words.

Brother Rui said: "Dad, next time I will go out with you to kill the enemy." "Seeing that Zao Zao can go to war with Yun Qing, Brother Rui'er is envious, jealous and hateful! cough, it's a pity that he was born a few years late, otherwise he would have followed.

Brother Hao said: "Dad, eldest sister, my mother and Ah Rui are waiting for your good news at home." ”

Zao Zao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, soon." After speaking, he said to Yunqing: "Dad, it's time to go, otherwise it's too late." ”

Yun Qing glanced at Yuxi, then pinched the horse's belly with his foot and left. Jujube dates followed.

After the group left, a puff of dust was raised.
