Chapter 16 The war is urgent, and the generals are fierce
After discovering that Jue Luo Meiqing had organized everything in the house, Rong Yue was also happy to throw away his hand, and made two dishes and sent them to Nalan Mansion every few days to improve the food for Lu's quasi-mother.
Or chatting with the little sisters who were with each other, playing chess, and the guzheng and flute, which had been put for a long time, made gratifying progress under the guidance of Lu Liwen'er.
The Qingming Festival is just around the corner, Rong Yue found that he was actually lazy, and only occasionally picked up when he felt that the Luo clan couldn't pull away, and the biggest contribution was probably to insert two wicker sticks at the door of Mulan Pavilion, which Ning Lan racked her brains to come up with.
After February, it will be March in a blink of an eye, although the head of the family is tired, but the various advantages of being a duchess still make Jue Luo and honored, and it is also courteous to return to his parents' home.
Of course, Jue Luo was not carried away, she understood that her husband was mediocre, and these two sisters-in-law were relied on in the future, so they also adhered to their duties and did not dare to exaggerate in front of Rong Yue.
It just so happened that there was nothing important on this day, so I wrote an abridged outline of this year's Halloween gift list and brought it to Mulan Pavilion.
Niu Co Lu Mansion is the courtyard of the three entrances, the east and west each with a cross-courtyard, since the Faka set the marriage contract, Rong Yue took the initiative to let out of the main courtyard to live in the garden of the Mulan Pavilion, although this small building is remote, but all around the planting of magnolia, cherries, there are flowers in all seasons, the flower shadow is scattered on weekdays, it is very elegant.
It's a good day today, Ning Lan took a few little maids to do needlework at the door, and when she saw her coming, she hurriedly welcomed her in, and Xuan Zheng came out of the west and asked for a good night.
Seeing her holding the candlestick in her hand, Jue Luo asked with a smile: "What are you doing lighting candles on this sunny day?" ”
He Xuan welcomed her into the flower hall and said, "We want to draw patterns." ”
Rong Yue heard the movement, straightened up from behind the embroidery frame, smiled and pulled Luo to sit on the big kang near the window, and said to He Xuan: "Let's describe it later, go and bring the black tea from the palace, soak it in the snow water on the pine needles sent by Sister Yanlin a while ago, and ask the eldest lady to taste it." ”
Niu Co Lu Mansion is the founder of the country, rich and noble, ten days in the Gege just embroidery small things to play by themselves, rarely so big to depict the pattern, Jue Luo's heart is curious, and I think that the sixth sister is now at the age of Xu Qin, in the past, there are many family things to delay.
Now that she has taken over the feed, the sixth sister should also start embroidering the dowry, thinking of this, I can't help but secretly praise this sister-in-law is really a cheerful person, before leaving the cabinet, her mother was afraid that Rong Yue would take power for a long time, and she didn't let go, causing trouble, but she didn't think that she would put it to herself.
"This is a gift to the palace prepared for the Wanshou Festival, please take a look at the sixth sister." You respect me, I respect you, and Jue Luo's tone is also very respectful and decent.
"Is it March so soon?" Rong Yue was taken aback, smiled and took it in his hand and browsed it back and forth twice, and said, "You can't be wrong if you think it's good." It's decent and low-key, but it's just packed up and checked again, in case the people in the house are careless and omission, or in case there are starters, thinking that the things sent to the palace have no feedback, so they simply suffer a deficit and are shoddy. ”
Jue Luo's response, the two chatted a little about homely things, and then listened to Rong Yue say: "The palace rewarded two Songjiang's three shuttle cloths...... Don't forget to send some to the East Courtyard. ”
Jue Luo said: "I have already sent some to the past, and even a few old aunts have them." ”
Rong Yue smiled: "You are magnanimous, it is their blessing." ”
Jue Luo was busy, and after a cup of tea, Rong Yue sent her to the door, leaning on the porch and looking at the magnolia tree in front of the porch.
There are a few white or purple buds on the black branches, and some of them bloom early, like small purple and red lotuses, gently trembling in the east wind, and they think of the beautiful spring that day, and the young man who talked eloquently in front of him, and couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.
turned over the long hatred and the gossamer was short, and the lovesickness was slow, and somehow these two lines of poetry came out.
He Xuan still called her: "Gege stood in the wind and blew the wind carefully." She smiled and rolled back into the house.
Chang Ning, who was sitting on the mahogany inlaid luodian three-screen sitting, sneezed, threw the letter in his hand into the brazier in front of the left, and watched coldly as the yellowed letter paper was licked by the tongue of fire.
Zhang Dasheng was silent when he saw that he had read the handbook, and asked, "Master, how is it?" ”
He has been serving as a deputy general by Chang Ning's side, and he has always been loyal, and he is regarded as a confidant by Chang Ning, so Chang Ning does not hide it: "Leer Jin is really a rat, blindly afraid of war, does not obey the will of the imperial brother, does not move, and is still looking for excuses to delay the crossing of the river." ”
He remembered the news he got from discussing politics with the Minister of Military Aircraft in the Qianqing Palace in the early days, and he couldn't help but feel heartbroken: "Wang-Fu-Chen rebelled in Pingliang to cause most of Shaanxi and Gansu to mutiny; Shang Zhixin is entrenched in central Guangdong, so Hunan is attacked on its back; Geng thieves colluded with Taiwan's Zheng clan to make trouble, and Haiyu was restless. This is the autumn of my great Qing Dynasty's critical survival. ”
Zhang Dasheng hurriedly said: "Master, why don't we go back soon?" ”
Chang Ning leaned back with his arms on the floor, staring at the gorgeous caisson above his head, and slowly shook his head.
Zhang Dasheng couldn't see his master's love for children like this, and the hero was short of breath, so he complained with three points in his tone: "You joined the army this time because you had hidden your identity and used a pseudonym, and you have not returned from the army for many days, isn't it suspicious?" Master, you can't have a long relationship with children. ”
Chang Ning was still staring at Chengchen, his eyebrows frowning.
Zhang Dasheng said again: "I know that my lord is now a very popular minister, but he wants to be subservient to others, and his ambitions cannot be displayed. But you can know that this is the time to accumulate prestige, and after six or seven years, the army will be all over the old department of the master, and the master will command the transfer again, that is like an arm. ”
"Needless to say," Chang Ning had already heard the meaning of the agitation in his words, and said: "The eldest husband can bend and stretch, I am not unwilling to succumb to Leer Jin, nor am I unwilling to serve the Qing Dynasty." It's just that if that matter is not finalized, I will be distracted by what I do, and after waiting for so many years, I can't afford to lose. ”
Zhang Dasheng sighed and said quietly: "If the master can't rest assured that Gege, he will leave his humble post to protect him secretly, and if there is any news, he will report it to the prince at any time." After that, he knelt down on one knee and saluted, "I am willing to guarantee with my life that there will be no mistakes." ”
Chang Ning helped him up: "The mountain is high and the road is far away, and the road is blocked, is it easy?" He said and paced to the window, "Wait, listen to the emperor's grandmother, there will be news in the next few days, and when it is finalized, I can go without worry." ”
He raised his hand and tapped on the edge of the window, and commanded: "Tell the steward of the palace to prepare a box of silver and two to go back to the brothers to pay for expenses, and send letters to those families, and go again to send some clothes and food to eat. ”
Due to the stalemate of the war on the front line, the emperor had no intention of celebrating the birthday festival. On that day, he did not lead the kings, Baylor, Beizi, Gong, and ministers of the Interior, scholars and other ministers to the Empress Dowager's palace, and even the routine congratulatory banquet was stopped.
The early dynasty was dispersed, and the kings and ministers were summoned to the Qianqing Palace to discuss matters.
Since Wu Sangui's rebellion, the emperor ordered the military department to be outside the post office, every 400 li, put a pen post type, dial Shiku each, in order to speed up the mail, picket slender, to prevent false reports, these people take turns on duty, day and night, can send three or four hundred military reports every day.
In recent days, the emperor and the ministers of the council, the ministers of the interior, and the scholars have often not yet agreed on a matter, and another report has been sent to the palace, and they are very busy.
