Chonglan looked at Qingyun who was still standing in the hall, covered his mouth and snickered, his face couldn't help but turn red, and he gently pinched his arm: "Don't talk about that, what's the matter with you?" ”

The two have been married for so long, and she can still see that he has something in his heart.

He paused and put the chopsticks horizontally on the chopstick rest: "I was thinking about how to tell you, but since you asked..."

Chonglan had a bad premonition in her heart, and asked bluntly, "Are you going out to fight?" ”

He bowed his head: "The holy decree has come down, and it will be opened to Songjiang Mansion in ten days." ”

Although he had been prepared, he had said it once before moving to the house, but when he heard the news, he was still panicked, and he had no taste to eat, so he stopped after moving a few chopsticks at will.

The two of them were speechless for a long time, and only after eating did she say slowly: "That's okay, at this time, the emperor also sent you on an expedition, which shows that I still believe in you in my heart, and when you come back from a good fight, those gossips will naturally be gone." ”

He sighed, frowned again, and said, "You are alone in the house..."

Chonglan waved his hand, pretending not to care: "How many generals' family members are not all alone at home, how did they come over?" You don't have to worry about your home, you can fight outside the home. ”

He replied again, it turned out that he didn't feel anything when he was fighting in the northwest, at that time he had nothing to worry about, and there was not much difference between returning home and being on the battlefield, he was alone on the left and right, and now he had a wife and a child, and he felt unprovoked.

He tilted his head and thought for a while: "You feel bored at home alone, so go to your mother's house to stay for a few days, and talk to your uncle, second uncle and second sister-in-law." ”

Chonglan covered her mouth and smiled: "You don't know the temperament of the two of them, what do I have to say to them about the two big men, and I will stare dryly when I go back." ”

He lowered his head and thought about it seriously, and said indifferently after a while: "Isn't Yan Ning in our house, I turned around and asked him to come and talk to you if he had nothing to do." ”

Looking at this reluctant face, Chonglan smiled again: "If I want to talk to him, I won't find it myself, and I still need your orders?" ”

She stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around his waist: "Don't worry about this, I don't have to worry about food and clothing in the house, besides, you don't have more time when you're outside on weekdays, less time when you're at home, and you haven't suffocated me to death." ”

The last sentence was a little resentful, and she complained: "It would be good if you were a civil official, and you would be a good Tanhualang to carry a gun to fight." ”

He laughed and said, "If I have the opportunity in the future, I will abandon martial arts and follow literature, how about it?" ”

She was silent for a long time before she said: "Don't be like this, I'm just saying that it's not easy for you to make a contribution, don't give up your good future for me to complain." At the end of her speech, her voice trembled: "I'm just worried about you..."

He put his arms around her and coaxed: "But whoever fights with me dies is someone else, how have you ever seen someone hurt a hair of mine?" He muttered, "This is not a big battle, it will definitely be fine." ”

She felt a little relieved, but she still said: "Whether you can fight or not, it doesn't matter if I'm worried about you or not." ”

His heart was weak, and he pulled her to the bedroom, and after the two of them finished washing, she lay in his arms and said, "Tell me about the war, I haven't heard you mention it yet." ”

Yan He has never talked about this with anyone, but it feels different when he talks to his beloved, especially when he sees her surprised and adoring eyes, he has an indescribable satisfaction in his heart.

She didn't like to listen to those formations, so she told her some interesting stories about the march: "... The men in the barracks don't like to take a bath, even the soldiers around me are too, and I have to throw them into the water with my own hands every time, but I have developed a good habit, and since then the soldiers around me are cleaner than the average soldier. ”

Chonglan said angrily: "Just your hypocrisy, people are fighting outside, and there are many people who don't take a bath for ten days and half a month." ”

He raised his eyebrows: "I am more sensitive than others when I have a small nose, and I am several times more sensitive to taste than others, even to myself." ”

He paused, as if remembering something miserable: "I remember when I first entered the barracks, many people hadn't bathed for months, and so many people got together..."

Chonglan laughed in his arms, thinking about a person with a sensitive nose, in a place like the barracks where ordinary people felt sweaty, thinking about it would kill him.

She pressed after her, "What else?" ”

He leaned on his pillow and thought: "I remember one time in a battle, I wiped out a tent in Tatars, and when I returned to the city, there was an alien woman in that tent who wanted to get in..."

Chonglan Tonggong heard the four words of a foreign woman, and thought of a series of stories in a notebook sourly: "Do you think that the woman is as beautiful as a flower, and wants to kill you with a beauty, but the assassination fails, and when I see your talent and appearance, I feel affection and want to make a promise to each other?" ”

He said calmly: "That woman is eight feet tall, has a strong physique, and has a beard on her face, and wants to disguise herself as a man to sneak into the barracks, intending to assassinate the commander, but after being discovered by my people, she was hacked to death. ”

She choked and coughed, what an unexpected twist: "Since she was born so much like a man, how was she discovered?" ”

He sighed, "When I came to Guishui, I was seen by a brother from a battalion. ”

She laughed, became sleepy as he spoke, and asked vaguely, "When will you be back?" ”

She didn't hear him answer, and she fell asleep in his arms.

In the middle of the night, she habitually wanted to squeeze into his arms, but found that the pillow was empty, she opened her eyes a line, and saw that the side was already empty, but a half-dim sheep's horn palace lamp was lit outside.

She walked out in surprise and saw him sitting at the desk, bowing his head and writing and drawing, she leaned over to look, and saw all kinds of lifelike flowers jumping on the paper, together but not cluttered, but showing a warm and beautiful attitude.

Painting at night is too weird, and he is not a madman in the Wei and Jin dynasties, Chonglan reached out to hold his pen, and said strangely: "You don't sleep at night, why do you get up and paint this?" She raised her eyebrows again and said, "Don't draw it for any of the people outside, right?" ”

He didn't raise his head, and asked casually, "Do you know how to embroider?" ”

Chonglan's expression was even more strange: "Naturally, that's the basic skill of the girl's family." ”

He sighed, and the petals of a peony flower were outlined, and he put his arm around her and rubbed the tip of her nose: "I don't know how to answer you, so I got up and drew a picture of a hundred flowers, and you embroider one and a half flowers every day according to this, and I will come back when the embroidery is finished." ”

He frowned slightly: "I know you don't have to worry about food and clothing, but I'm afraid that you will be bored for a long time, and with such a thing that can be used as a pastime, life will be easy to pass." ”

Chonglan's eyes were hot, and he said in a low voice: "I'll give you the ink." ”

......

Knowing the news that Yan He was leaving last night, Qingge and Qingyun originally thought that Chonglan would be anxious and sad, after all, the two had a deep relationship, which was obvious to all, but they didn't expect her to get up the next day and hurriedly order someone to prepare materials and sew shoes and clothes.

Qingge didn't know that she was repaying the favor, and seeing that she was busy with her work, she couldn't help but persuade: "Young lady, you better rest, we have a sewing room in our house, if you let you do it yourself, what is the use of asking them?" ”

Chonglan bit off a thread, shook his head and said, "That's not possible, others do it differently." ”

She is still at a loss when she makes small objects such as shoes and purses, and she is inevitably at a loss when she makes large items like clothes, so she bows her head and shouts after doing it for a while: "Qingge, come here and take a look, is my sleeve crooked?" ”

The love of the two of them. It's really difficult for outsiders to understand, Qingge shook his head helplessly, and pulled the embroidered fireflies over to help see.

This was done in the morning, Chonglan was able to cut the materials, and someone outside the eaves hurriedly came to report: "Young lady, Miss Zhi has an accident!" ”

Yesterday, Chonglan was worried that Yan Zhi would not be able to think about it, so he specially ordered the subordinates who stayed in the mansion to pay more attention, but he didn't expect that something would really happen today.

She was startled, and hurriedly summoned someone in and asked; "What's going on?"

The man smiled bitterly and replied: "Miss Zhi locked herself in the house last night, but I didn't expect someone to spread gossip in the house early this morning, and Miss Zhi couldn't think about it for a while..." ”

Chonglan was stunned: "Is there anything wrong with people?" ”

The man sighed and said: "Fortunately, her aunt found out early and rescued her, when she came down, she had already fainted, and no one cared about her. ”

Yesterday's events weren't all done by Mrs. Yan, what does it have to do with Yan Zhi? To put it mildly, even if someone should feel that they have no face to hang themselves, it is also Mrs. Yan, why should Yan Zhi suffer this crime?

The more Chonglan thought about it, the more angry she became, she had a good relationship with Yan Zhi when she was still He Lanlan, and hurriedly ordered: "Go and order someone to ask the doctor to come over, and if the medicinal materials are not enough, take them from our library." ”

She hesitated for a moment, but then got up and ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair: "I'll go and take a look." ”

She didn't say that she would go to see Yan Zhi directly, otherwise there would be something wrong if she had nothing to do, so she prepared a gift for Mrs. Yan first, saying that she was here to visit her grandmother, and she would go to see Yan Zhi by the way.

When she went back to Yan Zhi's house, she saw that the color inside was dark and monotonous, and several furnishings seemed to have been used for a long time.

Her aunt Wei leaned down at the head of her bed and couldn't stop crying, and there was an elegant and elegant woman next to her who was also dressed as an aunt, but she was born with a soft voice to comfort, Aunt Wei saw Chonglan come in, and hurriedly saluted and said, "I've seen the young grandmother." ”

I was grateful again: "Thank you to the doctor sent by the young grandmother, otherwise I really don't know what to do." She sobbed a few times and reached out to shake her daughter's hand.

The aunt on the other side also stood up and saluted, and said softly: "The concubine is Tong, and I have seen the young grandmother." ”

This should be Aunt Tong, who is the most favored by Yan Sansi now, Chonglan looked at it quietly, and said with a slight smile: "Aunt Tong is good." ”

Aunt Tong put down a few packets of medicinal herbs in her hand, and then turned around to say goodbye after a few words of soft persuasion, Aunt Wei lay on the side of her bed and cried, Yan Zhi opened her eyes tremblingly, and her voice was hoarse: "Thank you sister-in-law, let sister-in-law bother." ”

After Chonglan married Yan He, she was not too familiar with her, so she just stood beside her bed and said softly: "It was not your fault that incident yesterday, why did you want to do this?" ”

Yan Zhi's body trembled, lowered her head and said, "My reputation has been ruined, sister-in-law should know that our woman's reputation is more important than her life." Again... Besides, the word has spread in the house now, and I don't have the face to live anymore. ”

Aunt Wei was shocked and called out to my son.

Chonglan didn't think much of her statement, she used to run business outside, and she didn't go to socialize and socialize, and spread a lot of gossip, didn't she still live a good life?

However, Yan Zhi's idea almost represented the thoughts of the women in the boudoir of the Qi Dynasty, she thought for a while and said: "You listen to my sister-in-law's words, reputation is a big thing, and it is light and light, and it is not worth it if you look at it, and when you marry a good family in the future and live a harmonious life, it is not better than anything else, and this rumor will naturally disappear." ”

She saw a little hope in Yan Zhi's eyes, and said in an accentuated tone: "Besides, you still have an aunt to take care of, to say something disrespectful, can the second lady and father-in-law help you take good care of Aunt Wei?" Besides, if you go like this, you just do what some people want. ”

Chonglan thought about it on the way here, this rumor spread too coincidentally, I am afraid that someone deliberately released it, wanting to force Yan Zhi to death, and when she dies, this embarrassing incident will naturally be able to cover up the past, and the intentions are so vicious. But it doesn't look like Mrs. Yan did it, she doesn't have that brain.

Yan Zhi's hand on the quilt couldn't help but tremble, raising her eyes with a little fear and helplessness, Chonglan hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, as long as you don't have the will to die, others won't dare to do anything to you." ”

Yan Zhi lowered her head to wipe away her tears, Chonglan said a few more words and got up to say goodbye, but she suddenly said softly: "Sister-in-law, please help me apologize to Second Mrs. Zhang, I really don't want to... But the grandmother and the second lady said..."She bowed her head and wept silently.

Chonglan nodded, but sighed secretly in her heart, Yan Zhi is really good, but it's a pity that she was born in a family like the Yan family.

She went out of the mansion, thinking that she would simply solve the matter at one time, so she took a sedan chair and went to Zhang's mansion, Mrs. Zhang was understanding, and after she saw her, she called He Bijin out, and said with a smile: "You are all about the same age, and you are much more comfortable talking than my old wife, Jin girl, you accompany Mrs. Yan to the mansion for a walk." ”

He Rujin answered in a low voice, turned around and went out with Chonglan.

Yesterday, they were troubled by Mrs. Yan, and both of them felt embarrassed, and they didn't talk as freely as usual, and they were silent as soon as they went out.

Chonglan opened her mouth first and sighed: "You are a blessed person, grandmother is so generous, and sensible and kind, unlike me..."

At this moment, he finally started talking, He Rujin turned his head and glared at her: "What else do you say, yesterday Mrs. Yan suddenly came to such a sentence, and I was so shocked that I couldn't even hold the tea cup steadily." ”

Pregnant people are sensitive, Chonglan has a deep understanding of this, she is afraid of He Rujin's heart, so she hurried over to explain.

She smiled wryly: "I only found out on the way here." My grandmother has always been like this, she may not have noticed it herself, she and my father-in-law have a bit of imagination, they all want to play one out of the other, and never seriously consider the pros and cons. ”

She secretly added in her heart, she really deserves to be a mother and son, and she caused trouble and raced one by one.

She sighed again: "Fortunately, Mrs. Zhang is reasonable and personally stopped this matter, if I really let my grandmother succeed, I won't have the face to see you again in the future." ”

Women know women's minds best, and if any of her friends and elders come to the concubine room for her, she will definitely be suspicious.

He Bijin shook his head: "I was annoyed and annoyed yesterday, it didn't work out in the end, besides, it has nothing to do with you, I won't be so indiscriminate." ”

Chonglan paused and said carefully: "And Sister Zhi'er, she saw me today, let me say sorry to you, she also has her troubles, grandmother and the second lady suppressed it with a word, and she couldn't do it." ”

He Bijin paused for a while this time before saying: "I also suffered before I got married, so I won't resent her like this." ”

She took her hand and said, "Don't worry, my friendship with you is still there, and the friendship between the mansion and Governor Yan is also there, so we won't have a dislike because of this." ”

The implication is that with other people in the house... This was similar to what Chonglan expected, and the two finally went to the knot, walked along the backyard, and talked slowly.

......

In the main courtyard of Qi Guofu, Old Madam Yan wiped her forehead on her head, got up suddenly, coughed a few more times, and then turned around and asked, "What my sister-in-law said is true?" Are you really on your way? ”

Mrs. Liu smiled: "How many years of sister-in-law friendship have we had, can I still lie to you?" Besides, Sansi is my nephew, and if something like this happens to him, I definitely can't stand idly by. ”

Old Madam Yan coughed a few more times, said a few words of thanks, and asked, "Who is that person, and there is really a way to save Sansi?" ”

Old Madam Liu nodded affirmatively: "Naturally." She hesitated again: "But you also know that this matter involves the storage position, and I can't just reveal the name of this noble person to you." ”

Mrs. Yan hesitated for a while, but thinking of the officials who had been beheaded these days, she was still worried that her son would have the upper hand, so she bent down on the bed and begged: "Then there is Sister-in-law Lao to help make peace." ”

Old Madam Liu hurriedly got up and helped her up: "We have known each other for decades, what are you still talking about these foreign words?" ”

After she finished speaking, she hesitated, "But... The noble man said, there are a lot of joints that need to be dotted for these things, and they all have to use real money to get through. ”

Old Madam Yan was stunned, thinking of the family background of Qi Guofu, frowning and lowering her head, Old Madam Liu persuaded: "Don't be stingy at this time, no matter how important the silver is, can it be more important than the life of your son?"

The county lord of Qinghe also slowly added firewood on the side: "What my uncle said is that these days the queen has been ruthless, and she has no mercy on the people who participated in this matter that day, and I don't know how many heads have fallen to the ground." ”

Old Madam Yan's eyes showed a look of struggle, and the green tendons on the back of her hands flashed out, and it took a long time before she said, "How much?" ”
