91. Victory
After waiting for nearly a month, Miao Weitong, the old man Miao still did not come, and Mrs. Miao was a little anxious, and wrote several letters to send people back to Yujiang, but there was no reply. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this can be anxious Mrs. Miao, just when she was in a hurry, but there was good news from the north, the army of Huaguo was like a bamboo, even breaking dozens of cities, and the lord of the country of tiles was begging for peace.
Considering that this battle had been fought for nearly two years, the military salary consumption was huge, and the treasury was not rich now, Yaozong got off the donkey down the slope, agreed to the begging of the tile spur, and ordered the Chinese army to return to the court.
At the end of July, the Chinese army returned to the dynasty victoriously, and in addition to the envoys of the Washou, there were also Miao Wei and a group of Fengzhou officials.
It turned out that when Miao Weitong was on his way, he suddenly received an urgent order from his boss, which delayed the trip. And the boss summoned him for the Chinese army to attack the tile spur, when the war was nearing the end, victory was in sight, Fengzhou is the army of the division to return to the dynasty must pass through, the army will be in Fengzhou a little rectification, replenish the grain and grass military supplies, Fengzhou officials do not dare to slack off, up to 120,000 points of spirit to deal with this matter, until the army set off from Fengzhou, Miao Wei with this with the army returned to Beijing with the army.
"The master is here! The concubine sent someone to deliver a letter, but she didn't get a reply. When Mrs. Miao saw Master Miao, her heart was finally steady, but when she saw the beautiful woman behind Miao Weitong, the corners of her mouth were almost invisible.
Miao Weitong has a lean figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks very energetic, "There are some official matters to deal with, as a courtier, you should put the country first." These days, I have been living in a temporary tent, not in the yamen, and I have not returned to my home.
"Look at what the master said! This is what a concubine should do!" Mrs. Miao said humbly, and said to the beauty behind Miao Weitong: "Aunt Yu must be tired of serving the master all the way! I have already ordered someone to clean up the room, it is next to Caidie's residence, you hurry down and rest!"
Miao Weitong also said: "Yuxiang, you have never been in good health, you must be very tired from trekking all the way, go and rest! You haven't seen a colorful butterfly for a few days." ”
"Yes, sir, ma'am!" the beautiful woman lightly opened her lips, her voice was like a warbler's cry, and she leaned over slightly, her body like a weak willow. This beauty is Miao Caidie's biological mother, who has been favored by Miao Wei for 20 years, and still regards it as a treasure, no one believes that this woman who looks only eighteen or nineteen years old is actually over thirty years old.
"The lord has been delayed for more than a month this time, there must be something important, follow the army all the way into Beijing, the army is all rough people, the lord must be extremely unaccustomed!" Mrs. Miao said while directing her subordinates to serve Miao Weitong and change his clothes.
"Although the march is a little hard, but this time it is a victorious return, and the itinerary is not rushed!" Miao Weitong stroked his beard and said slowly.
Mrs. Miao looked at his face and asked, "But what is the happy event?
Miao Wei smiled mysteriously, "It's not a big deal, but this errand went very smoothly, and it won't affect the performance appraisal this time!"
Mrs. Miao knows his character, and the more you ask, the more he doesn't say, and he doesn't ask anymore.
Taking advantage of Miao Weitong's time to see Miao's family, Mrs. Miao gave instructions to her confidant Jin'er.
Aunt Yu walked into the courtyard arranged for her by Mrs. Miao, and felt very satisfied, they were guests in the Yao family, and she could live in a courtyard alone with each aunt, and the Yao family really deserved to be the princess's mansion! In Yujiang Miao's house, an aunt only had one room, and even she, who was favored, only had one more room than others, where could she compare to the Yao family!
Looking at the layout of the house again, Aunt Yu was even more satisfied, everything was exquisite, but I didn't know that the Miao family deliberately showed off in front of the Miao family's room, so they deliberately let people arrange the guest house like this!
After looking at her yard, Aunt Yu walked towards Miao Caidie's yard, and saw that Miao Caidie's yard was the same as herself, but there were many more trinkets from her daughter's house. At this time, Miao Caidie was playing with a box of delicate fine porcelain dolls.
Seeing that Aunt Yu was coming, Miao Caidie hurriedly said: "Auntie is here, but I'm in a hurry!"
"What's the hurry!, Auntie, I have good news for you!" Aunt Yu covered her lips and smiled.
Miao Caidie was curious: "What's the good thing?"
Aunt Yu said: "The master stayed this time to do a big errand, and if he has done this, he will be promoted steadily!"
Miao Caidie asked, "What did my father do this time?"
"Today your father is with the army into Beijing, when the army passed through our Fengzhou, camped and rested for a few days, your father was responsible for patrolling security, met a few sneaky people, and took them down, under the first trial, only to know that they were the spies of the tile, although the king of the tiles was surrendered, but there were still tiles nobles who were not convinced, and wanted to turn defeat into victory, so they sent someone with the army to inquire about the news, and was caught by your father, twisted to the big tent of the Chinese army, General Song praised your father for doing a good job, and so on into Beijing, will play the emperor, please reward your fatherAunt Yu told what had happened.
"So, my father has made a great contribution this time?" Miao Caidie asked, with a happy face.
"No, if your father hadn't caught those spies, I don't know what they would have done!" Speaking of this, Aunt Yu was honored.
"Then will we stay in the capital in the future?" Miao Caidie's tone was a little joyful, these days, she has personally experienced the wealth and prosperity of the capital, so she is reluctant to leave.
Aunt Yu nodded, "Nine times out of ten, this is the case! The master has already opened up the joints, and it is not difficult to stay in the capital to serve." ”
Miao Caidie just breathed a sigh of relief, and Aunt Yu changed her words again, "If that's the case, we will have to move out of the Hou Mansion, and then we will live in our own mansion!"
Thinking that he wanted the Miao family to live in a narrow wing, but in the Yao family, he lived in a separate courtyard and a large group of subordinates to serve him, Miao Caidie was a little depressed when he didn't want to lose such a life.
"You've been in the mansion for nearly two months, and you're familiar with the people in the mansion?" asked Aunt Yu.
Miao Caidie shook her head and nodded again, "Mother told me that I was not allowed to interact with my cousin, only let me go and talk to my cousin!"
"So, you are very familiar with Mrs. Yao?" Aunt Yu knew Mrs. Miao's taboo, so she didn't expect Miao Caidie to talk to the people in the fourth room of the Miao family under Mrs. Miao's nose.
"I'm not very familiar!" Miao Caidie shook her head and said, "My cousin is not very willing to talk to me, every time I go to her, she will ask people to lead me to Miss Yao Er, but Miss Yao Er is even more reluctant to say a word...... "Zhu doesn't like Miao Caidie because Miao Caidie is good-looking, she is afraid that Yao Chongming will have thoughts about Miao Caidie."
"Miss Biao actually treated you like this?" Aunt Yu thought that how could the Zhu family see that she was good to her at the beginning, and treat Miao Caidie better, who would have thought that the Zhu family would just send Miao Caidie away.
Miao Caidie nodded, "My cousin and my cousin are not in harmony, they are busy calculating each other every day, how can they have time to care about me, so they have to push me to others!"
Aunt Yu knew that her daughter was the most observant, so she asked, "Looking at the entire Yao Mansion, who is the best to get along with?"
Miao Caidie frowned, "I look at the entire Yao Mansion, there is no one who is easy to get along with, and our previous plan is afraid that it will not be used!" They originally planned to pass through the Yao family and catch up with the powerful families in Beijing.
Aunt Yu smiled lightly: "It's okay if you don't need it, now that the master has a new opportunity, we have one more way." Don't worry, my aunt will definitely let you have a good home!"
"Auntie!" Miao Caidie said coquettishly.
"Don't be embarrassed, didn't we come to the capital just for this! I have worked hard for so many years, and it is not easy to get to this point!" Thinking that she has worked hard for many years, she is finally about to succeed, and Aunt Yu is very excited.
"Auntie is right, we are about to get out!" Miao Caidie has also suffered a lot since she was a child, and she gradually learned to be obedient, knew how to flatter, and flattered Mrs. Miao, and the situation improved.
After listening to Jin'er's return, Mrs. Miao's face was very bad.
"Hmph!" Mrs. Miao snorted coldly, "I know that she has never been a worry-free person! Now even such news is instigated by the old man to hide it from me! The old man is really, at the mercy of this slut!"
"Madame doesn't need to be angry, if it weren't for Miss Eighteen's face, how could Madame tolerate her coming here?" Jin'er hurriedly comforted.
"I'm all the one who wants to hug my great-grandson, and I'm going to rob her of the master's favor, can't I? Just her eyes are shallow, and she chews the root of her tongue in front of the master!" Mrs. Miao is very dissatisfied with Aunt Yu's maintenance and makes a stumbling block for herself, "If it weren't for the eighteen girls who can come in handy, how could I tolerate her to this day!" Miao guessed right, Mrs. Miao brought Miao Caidie to the capital this time, just to use her marriage to add a boost to the Miao family's room.
Jin'er said: "Yes! The young master is about to get married, so the lady is waiting to hug her great-grandson!
"That's it! Let her jump for the time being! When my brother becomes a relative, the eighteenth girl will talk about it later!" As she spoke, Mrs. Miao suddenly said: "Do you say that the matter of the master staying in Beijing this time will change? I always feel unsteady in my heart!"
"The old man's political achievements are remarkable, and his promotion is certain! Moreover, now that he has won the battle, the emperor is happy, and many people are going to be promoted!" Jin'er is indeed right, there will always be a large personnel change after every war, and this time it coincides with the triennial performance appraisal, and the transfer of officials at that time is only afraid of being even greater.
"That's why I'm worried!" Mrs. Miao couldn't help but sigh when she thought about what Miao Weitong had done: "I was supposed to do some good things, but who knew that something happened when it came!"
"Master, this is a meritorious service, it is a good thing, even if there is a change, it must only rise and not fall, madam, and be relieved!" Jin'er comforted.
Mrs. Miao nodded, "You're right! Since General Song has praised the old man and said that the old man's errand is well done, it must be wrong!"
"So, Madame, just put your heart in your stomach! Let's pick a good family affair for Miss Eighteen and the young master!" Jin'er made a cup of tea for Mrs. Miao and served it herself.
"Nothing is more important than Brother Nian's marriage now! The reason why Sifang is so arrogant is just because they have a prosperous population!" "The Miao family has been passed down from generation to generation, and there is still only one male in Miao Yinian's generation, and Mrs. Miao is determined to find a good granddaughter-in-law who has a good character, good looks, and can give birth.
