Only since I received the letter, there has been no news, although Jia's mother has put her mind at ease, but she is still a little uneasy in her heart, and she is holding letters from the border every day.

In the early morning of the 24th day of the lunar month, Jia Mumao had already gotten up, because the New Year was about to begin, so she was very busy every day. I had to be busy buying and reconciling accounts, and now I had to sweep the dust according to the sacrificial stove, so I got up early. The courtyards and courtyards in the house must clean the environment, clean all kinds of utensils, dismantle and wash the bedding and curtains, sprinkle and sweep the courtyard of Liulu, dust and cobwebs, and dredge the nullah and culvert.

On the same day, in the afternoon, Jia Mudang had dinner and wanted to rest and go to fatigue. Hu Pohu came to report that Guanbian had won the battle, and the whole capital was celebrating, and Jia Daishan was fine. After hearing this, Jia Mu didn't care about resting, but asked people to go out and inquire clearly.

A quarter of an hour later, the little guy who went out to inquire about the news came back, and went to the main hall to report to Jia's mother, and when he entered the house, he saw the girl and the second master, who usually didn't ask about the world, sitting next to his wife. When he saw that all the masters of the family had arrived except for the old lady, he was very worried in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Jia Mu waved her hand and hurriedly said, "Don't salute, let's talk about what you heard first?"

The little guy lowered his head and lowered his eyes and said carefully: "Mrs. Yu, the kid just inquired, and everyone outside is saying that this time the old man led the division to beat the Qianxiang country to the ground, and they will never dare to come again, and the Qianxiang country will also send envoys to negotiate peace." Therefore, there will be no more wars in the future, and many people are grateful to our master. ”

Jia Mu was very happy to hear it, and happily asked Jade to reward the little guy. Turning his head to Jia Zheng, who was also happy, he said: "Now I am relieved to know that your father is fine, you don't have to go to class today, rest well, and then bathe, this year your father and Yu'er are not at home, I can only let you come to the stove, let the prince of the stove bless our Jia family safely, and bless you to go to the department as soon as possible." ”

After hearing this, Jia Zheng replied respectfully: "Mother rest assured, I will sincerely pay tribute to the Lord of the Stove, so that he can bless his father with a bright future, his mother with a bright face, and his sister with peace and joy." Because he knew that Jia's mother didn't like the old lady very much, and even the brother who was raised by the old lady was just a matter of affection, so he didn't mention the old lady and Jia Yu. And this year is the first time he came to the sacrificial stove in person, and he was even more excited, in previous years, if his father was not at home, Jia Yu would preside over the sacrifice, and he could only watch from the sidelines. He was very unhappy in his heart, obviously he was better than Jia Yu in everything, just because he was born two years late, he had to put Jia Yu first in everything. Why did Jia Yu inherit the Rongguo Mansion after he didn't have to do anything, and enjoy the glory and wealth, but he studied hard every day just for one high school like the poor family.

Jia's mother was even happier when she heard his words, and she only felt that this son was very caring and had the same heart with her. The girl in the house is not a human spirit, and when she sees it, she praises Jia Zheng for her filial piety, and the funny Jia mother frequently rewards them with things. The girls' bursts of gratitude made the room even more lively. Compared with their happiness, Jia Min watched coldly and sneered at Jia Zheng. And now she is even more worried about her father's situation today, after all, the words of the master are not just talking. I'm afraid that after this battle, my father will be recalled to Beijing, and when I come to Beijing, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, everything has the eyes of a saint. Second, it is also the Enshi Jia family's reward heroes, of course, it is also seen by hundreds of officials.

After the New Year, Jia Min received a letter from Jia Yu, on the one hand, saying that Jia Daishan said that he wanted to return to Beijing and was afraid that he would return to Beijing with his father soon. On the other hand, he told Jia Daishan about his loss of news from beginning to end.

On that day, Jia Daishan saw that the enemy's army was only 30,000, but they were all cavalry, and they did not fight head-on, but only attacked everywhere. Therefore, according to the enemy's march route for several days, Jia Daishan and the generals of the military division found that no matter how the army of Qianxiang State marched, it always had to pass through a place called Daqiu Mountain, and this place was surrounded by mountains on both sides, and one side was a swampy land, and only one road in front could enter and exit, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was a good place for garrisons. And they concluded that the 30,000 cavalry of the Qianxiang Kingdom were probably stationed here.

After deliberation, Jia Daishan decided to lead the vanguard army across the swamp into Daqiu Mountain, and the army entered the rose in the front, advancing in both directions, and took it in one fell swoop. However, when the army came to the swampy land, they found that the mud under the ground was extremely deep, and it was not easy to march. Therefore, Jia Daishan ordered to rest in place and find a way to spend time with a few officers and soldiers who had experience in the swamp land. Just as the three stinkers said to Zhuge Liang, it really made them think of a solution.

In this way, both men and horses are tied with ropes, and they are lightly armed, divided into several squads, and crossed in batches. Although this method is relatively safe, it is very labor-intensive, so I thought that it would take only one day to cross this swamp in the plan, but it took dozens of days to actually use it, and the whole army was all crossed except for those who had only been left behind. But in this way, by the time they arrived at Daqiu Mountain and entered the agreement, dozens of days had passed, and the army led by the adjutant general in front did not receive the message for a long time. Because of the matter related to Jia Daishan, he was in a hurry to report to the saint, and a day after he left the border pass, he received the fireworks of Jia Daishan's report.

On the second day, the two armies attacked the army of the country of Qianxiang, trapped it in the encirclement, and after two days and two nights of fierce fighting, it was finally destroyed. And after this battle, the elites of the Qianxiang Kingdom were wiped out, and they were unable to attack for the next ten years.

From the content of the letter, Jia Min saw Jia Yu's growth, and occasionally attached his thoughts on the war, although a little superficial but not so ignorant. In his words, he admired and looked up to his father, admired and thanked the other master, and more importantly, he began to plan for the future. I don't have to do as much as I did before, and I don't think it's a matter of course. He also understands that his glorious and wealthy life is all due to the desperate efforts of his grandfather and father.

Jia Min looked at the letter and smiled. Looking out the window, the cold wind was pouring and the snow was flying, but her heart was very warm. Mama Qian walked in and saw her sitting on the paddle in her little jacket, with the window open and the wind blowing. Hurriedly walked up, picked up the emerald brocade and satin cloak on the hanger and put it on her, closed the window again, and then said hatefully: "Girl, although it is past spring now, it is still cold, and it is still snowing outside, how can you open the window to blow the cold wind, if you freeze your body, how can it be good." ”

Jia Min obediently listened to the chatter, and when she finished speaking, she shook her and said: "Mama is just too careful, I am wearing a jacket, and there is silver carbon in the house, so it is cold, and the house has been smoked by carbon for a day, and it is even more stuffy, and the window is just to breathe." ”

Mama Qian looked at her arrogant appearance, and the little anger in her heart had long been gone, but she still said with a straight face: "Old slave, you can't say that girl, every time you always have a bunch of words waiting." But the girl can't always be so willful, and she can't be so uneasy about her body. Alas, the girl has really grown up, and her ideas are getting bigger and bigger, especially since that time when she fell into the water, she usually speaks and acts like an adult, and everything is thoughtful. Mama Qian said half-tentatively and half-remindedly.

After hearing this, Jia Min shook Mama Qian's hand even more, and said unruly: "When will Mama learn to make fun of Min'er, besides, I have grown up, and my grandmother and mother have taught me a lot of things these days, if I am not thorough, wouldn't I be too sorry for their careful teaching? Min'er is not so stupid?" In fact, her heart was very shocked, she always thought that she had covered it up well. Unexpectedly, the careful Mama Qian discovered her difference, and she only had to push the difference to the point where she was taught by the old lady and Mother Jia.

Mama Qian didn't continue, as long as she knew that the person in front of her was her own child, and she was a slave because she had a little face because of the girl, so why bother to get to the bottom of it, the girl didn't say that there must be something difficult for her to say. After a sigh in his heart, he asked, "Girl, are you going to have dinner in the house or are you going to the wife and the old lady?"

Seeing that she didn't continue, Jia Min also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mama Fang Cai also said that the weather is cold, how can I go, if I am afraid that my ears will be calloused if I am ground by Mama." Just eat it in the house, it is the most suitable to eat the pot on such a day, let the kitchen make the mutton pot and prepare some Chinese cabbage, tofu, gouache, etc., Mama and Cailan They also accompany me to eat lively. After speaking, he thought about it again and added: "I still have a bottle of good peach blossom wine just for Mama." ”

Seeing that she was so interested, Mama Qian hurriedly went to prepare the kitchen, and when she went outside, she asked Caimei to let her go to the inner room to see that Jia Min could no longer open the window to blow the wind, and then went to the kitchen.

When I was young, the kitchen made the pot and sent it, Jia Min asked Mama Qian and Cailan to do it together, and did not let other girls serve in front of her, and ate it herself, the four girls were very restrained at first, and after eating a few sips of wine, they slowly let go, and they all toasted Mama Qian one by one, if Jia Min didn't stop her, I'm afraid Mama Qian would really be drunk.

After the first month, the saint issued an edict to summon Jia Daishan to return to Beijing, and praised his merits in detail and detail, and said that he had been fighting abroad for many years because of his hard work, so he was allowed to return to Beijing.

At this moment, the whole dynasty was in an uproar, and rumors were spreading, and no one could understand the thoughts of the Supreme Man. Some say that the sage transferred Jia Shan back to Beijing for another important purpose, and some say that because Jia Daishan fought for many years and his old injuries recurred, he was recalled to return to Beijing to recuperate. What's more, the sage was afraid of Jia Daishan and was afraid that he would support his own army, so he recalled the Beijing Division. All of a sudden, there were people who said anything, and some wall-like family members slowly alienated themselves from the Jia family.
