Wan Ting's swaying figure stopped in front of the door, listening to the crisp sound of broken porcelain in the house, the little maid at the door was pale, and knelt on the ground in fear.

"Get up, my aunt has been in a bad mood lately, and her hands and feet have been sharper these days. ”

Under the snow-white skirt, a pair of delicate embroidered shoes stopped in front of her, and the little girl hurriedly kowtowed, "Miss Xie Er, the slave knows that she is wrong, next time...... I'll be careful next time. As he spoke, he wiped his eyes, stood up and hurried away.

"Lan'er, come in. "Aunt Mei's summoning voice came from inside the house.

Sighing in her heart, Xiao Jinlan had no choice but to walk into the house. I saw Aunt Mei lying on the beauty couch, delicate and weak, if it weren't for the personal maid who was waiting by her side, she wouldn't dare to come out, and the hysteria before seemed to be just an illusion.

"Auntie. ”

Xiao Jinlan walked to the beauty couch, sat down slowly, and raised her eyes to look at the maid who was carefully fanning, and the latter retreated after owing a debt.

"A silver building, my aunt didn't look at it in the early years, but this year there are a lot of things, your brother's wedding is approaching, and when he is in urgent need of silver, I will calculate it, if I want to do it well, I will be able to do it properly, and I will not let people look down on it. I was thinking about Mrs. Tai's birthday, how could the shopkeeper not take this opportunity to go to Beijing to celebrate his birthday, but he didn't expect the stinky boy to dare to come directly to such a show!"

Aunt Mei's weak face was sharp, and anger came to her heart, Xiao Jinlan hurriedly smoothed her heart, but Aunt Mei grabbed her hand, and then wondered: "Lan'er, what do you think this lady is thinking, although this Xia Li is not her person, but it is also designated by the Hou Ye, Lin Xi gave the Xia Li to the official without saying hello, didn't he fold the face of the Yongning Hou Mansion? Could it be that he held it for so long, just to manage the dowry for the third aunt and grandmother who died early?" But the daughter is a relative, but the nephew is surnamed Lin, and your brother is surnamed Xiao even if he is a concubine!"

Seeing that Aunt Mei's words were biased, Xiao Jinlan held her back and persuaded her softly: "Auntie, the Yongning Hou Mansion has a great business, and since it is the dowry of the third aunt, how can there be a reason to secretly swallow it selfishly, if you let the imperial history know, don't you want your father to be included in the book? ”

And it's really not a matter of valuing the meaning of Jintang.

"Hmph, Madame is in charge of the huge Hou Mansion, and she doesn't look down on those petty profits. Aunt Mei said, "If I am in charge of the feed, it will naturally be the same, but who makes your brothers and sisters unfortunately hold in my belly, I can only fight again and again for you." ”

Speaking of this, it suddenly sneered and said, "The prince of Rui Wang followed Lin Xi like a tail, our third lady showed favor several times but it didn't work, if the Songtao Courtyard was not forced to do so, the prince didn't want to step in, and the grandmother of the in-law was not as close as a cousin, I'm afraid it was also very regretful, pretending to be intimate, you see if there was still the heat at the beginning?"

Xiao Jinlan couldn't help but be happy when she thought of her sister-in-law's repeated deflated appearance, and then heard Aunt Mei say: "When the prince returned to the palace before, I heard that all the belongings were given to Lin Xi, and Mother Lu came back to tell her, Madame's face was red and white, and she broke several tea bowls on the spot. ”

This is not a secret, the second day the Hou Mansion spread, and Mrs. Tai also ordered a ban.

Xiao Jinlan said: "The prince is young and ignorant, didn't my cousin say it, just keep it for the prince, and when the prince comes back, he will still return it." ”

Aunt Mei was immediately happy when she heard this, "Silly girl, what kind of person is the prince, those things of the prince are precious in our eyes, but what is it in front of the prince? That kid personally recuperates the body of the prince, and takes the child, looking at the sticky strength of the prince, it seems that Lin Xi takes care of it quite dedicated, what the prince sends, how can the prince want to come back? I can't say that I have to reward some more...... It's also that kid's luck, hmph, with such a big fortune, what is the silver building! Speaking of which, it's just a little bit leaking out of his fingers, and he doesn't even give a trace of affection! It's really slippery!"

The more Aunt Mei talked, the more angry she became, Xiao Jinlan got up and pinched her shoulder, and persuaded: "It's over, no matter how much resentment my aunt has, it's useless, it's better to think about it again, my brother's marriage is still a few months away, you might as well beg your father, he will never let my brother marry a shabby marriage." As for my cousin, my grandmother loves me, my father and my fourth uncle pity me, this Hou Mansion doesn't really get along with anyone, and the son of the world depends on him in everything, and we are the ones who suffer against him, can't we?"

Aunt Mei lay comfortably in front of the couch, nodded when she heard the words, and her expression slowly relaxed, Xiao Jinlan relieved her heart, but suddenly heard Aunt Mei say: "You're right, we can't do it, but it doesn't mean that the kid can sleep in peace, even the concubine in the palace dares to contradict it, he doesn't think that he can be safe with the light of the world, right?"

Speaking of this, she suddenly sneered and said, "What if the prince is not by his side." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jinlan's hand suddenly paused, and then squeezed it gently.

With the first experience, Zhao Yuanrong's second needle application Lin Xi can be much more sure.

Half a month ago, Gonggong Cao took people directly into Lanyue Xuan, and took a qiē, not to mention the obedience of the courtyard up and down, with such a big Buddha, the visits of a dry and miscellaneous people were also sent away, and even the people of the Liu family were not allowed to enter.

Lin Xi was happy.

The weather was already hot, and although there was no need to burn a charcoal pot in the house, I didn't dare to fan it with ice, so I just opened the window slightly.

People are still these people, but Lin Xi always feels that there is still someone missing.

Zhao Yuanrong was lying on the bed, naked, with a thin blanket on his stomach, and watched Lin Xi busy packing up the sewing bag, the various silver needles that he was familiar with still looked very scary now.

As soon as he remembered the painful experience for the first time, Zhao Yuanrong's weak little face turned even paler.

Lin Xi placed the silver needle in front of the bed, looked up and saw Zhao Yuanrong's miserable and nervous appearance, suddenly softened, reached out and touched his face, and whispered: "God is unfair to you, let Rong'er suffer these things at such a young age, but if you want me to say, the hardships and happiness of a person's life are certain, and if you eat all the hardships, you will be waiting for you in the back are all sweet, otherwise how can there be a saying that you have to suffer hardships, and you are a master, Rong'er said yes?"

Zhao Yuanrong looked at him for a while, nodded lightly, clenched his little fist and released it, and immediately clenched it, tears rolled in his eyes, he was still afraid, and said, "Cousin, I miss my mother." ”

Lin Xi spread out his hand on the cloth bag for a moment, and then sighed softly, and only then did he say softly and melancholy: "I miss her too, not only my mother, but I also miss my father." ”

The little tears that were brewing didn't fall after all, thinking of his cousin who couldn't help but have no mother and no father, Zhao Yuanrong felt that he didn't seem to be so miserable.

"Well, I miss my father too, if only he were here!"

No matter how Zhao Yuanrong didn't treat Zhao Jingyi on weekdays, he still wanted to rely on his father the most at this time.

When Lin Xi heard this, he suddenly realized, saying that such a big Dinghai God Needle was not there, and he always felt that there was no one in his heart.

"I guess it's going to be soon, I heard that the battle situation in the north is good, and he has good news again and again, and I can't say that he will be able to sit here next time he applies the needle. "Da Ma sat on the ground with a golden knife, and he could still say a word, even if you do it, there is me or something...... Exceptionally reliable.

Lin Xi thought of this, and the loss in his heart was one after another.

It seems that they haven't seen each other for half a year, and I don't know if he has received the glasses that he has changed for a long time, and whether it will help the battle?

I don't have the power to tie the chicken, and I don't have Zhuge Kongming's mind, so all I can help is these gadgets.

Oh, and the purse that was thrown to Zhao Jingyi by Zhao Yuanrong at the beginning, there are a few life-saving pills in it, and I don't know if I will think of it at a critical moment......

Thinking about it, the thought drifted away.

It's just Zhao Yuanrong's words, Lin Xi suddenly shook his head fiercely, and put aside the messy thoughts, at this moment, if you want to have something or not, the little ancestor in front of you can't be careless.

"Okay, whether he is or not, we have to do the same thing, still this sentence, endure it, we can get the sea and the sky, Rong'er wants to practice martial arts like your father and kill the enemy?"

Zhao Yuanrong's eyes were the same, "Is Rong'er okay?"

Lin Xi smiled, "Why not, it's just a cold disease, it's much lighter than when I was back, it's good to say three or five years, Rong'er just needs to cooperate with me to endure it." ”

Lin Xi lifted Zhao Yuanrong's blanket as he spoke, and the silver needle in his hand pierced it accurately.

Zhao Yuanrong was speechless for a moment.

Tears ran down the corners of his eyes, although he endured it, it still hurt!

Upstairs in the North

"Marshal, Hunu has not been in action for three days, even the first two sieges were just small fights, you look at the continuous tents under the slope, the number of Hunu soldiers has been increasing, it feels like a big attack is brewing. ”

The adjutant general pointed to the camp in Hunu in the distance and said, "I was only there three days ago, but it was so long. The adjutant general's thumb and forefinger opened a gap, "Now it extends here, so much longer!" The distance between the thumb and index finger doubled at once.

In the end, it was concluded, "Either a major attack or a conspiracy." ”

Zhao Jingyi stared at the enemy camp in the distance for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Have you ever heard the sound of the hooves of the horses of the Hunu reinforcements, or have you seen people coming?"

The adjutant generals looked at each other, a little puzzled, and then one of them said: "Maybe they secretly broke into pieces and came quietly, the enemy camp is too far away for us to see clearly." Hu Nu didn't take advantage of it this time, and many people died, I'm afraid he was unwilling. ”

But the scouts had no news. Someone added.

Zhao Jingyi didn't speak, his eyes were still looking at the white tent in the distance, his eyes narrowed, and suddenly the corners of his mouth were raised.

The lieutenants who always pay attention to the coach saw you He took out a strange kaleidoscope-shaped thing from his arms, his eyes looked at the slightly smaller one, and he looked at it silently for a long time, and everyone was curious for a while.

Zhao Jingyi looked at it for a while, and the corners of his mouth, which was just a little curvature, were flattened again, and his face was quite solemn.

He handed the telescope to the general next to him and motioned for him to take a look at it as well.

The general took it carefully, glanced at Zhao Jingyi, and then learned to look at it, and suddenly the generals heard him gasp, and with a sigh, they leaned on the city wall and looked hard.

The curiosity of the generals was immediately aroused, and one of them stepped forward, grabbed the general's shoulder and asked, "Lao Zhang, what is this, look so respectful, give it to the brothers." ”

"Go, go, I haven't seen enough, fuck, I know it, it's like it's right in front of me!" General Zhang rudely pulled off the arm on his shoulder, "Hey, good boy, is it difficult to rest in the tent in broad daylight?"

Grabbing the barrel with one hand, he snatched it up, "Let me see it too." ”

"Old Song, hurry up and look, we're also curious, Lao Zhang, what do you see?"

General Zhang ignored them, just stood up straight in front of Zhao Jingyi, and reported: "Marshal, this is an empty account!"

Zhao Jingyi's eyes instantly turned cold, the expression on his face became more and more cold, he flicked his cloak and turned to leave, and ordered: "General Song, hand over the telescope to you, keep an eye on the marshal, and report any situation immediately! The scouts spread out, since this is an empty tent, the main army is set somewhere, within two days, I want to know the exact place! Send the messenger of the marshal, and quickly ride to inform the city to strengthen its guard! Finally, all the generals listen to the order, and the whole army will set off at any time!"

"Yes!"
