On the second day of August, it rained heavily in the capital.

The raindrops were falling, hitting the glass windows. The rain is getting heavier and heavier, splashing one by one, Xiang Wei looks out through the glass window, and the heaven and earth seem to be hung with an incomparably wide bead curtain, a misty piece.

Xiang Wei stood in front of the window for a long time, and then turned her head and said, "I never thought that a rainy day would be so beautiful?" ”

Yueyao didn't think so much about Xiang Wei: "It would be nice if there were a few heavy rains in Jiangnan." She remembers that it started to rain in August in Gangnam, but she doesn't remember the exact period.

Xiang Wei was relieved: "It hasn't rained for three months, God won't really want to survive, it should rain immediately." "Because of the drought many people died, and there was a plague. Fortunately, the imperial court had prepared for a long time and did not let the situation worsen, otherwise I don't know how many people would have died.

Yue Yao nodded. The most impossible to resist is natural and man-made disasters, although the drought is terrifying, but because there is no flood and locust plague behind, plus the imperial court rescue is also powerful, it is not the worst. The worst thing is that there were natural disasters for four consecutive years in the previous dynasty, and I don't know how many people died.

While the two were talking, the chief butler came in happily and said, "Great victory, great victory! Madame, a great victory! ”

Yue Yao hurriedly asked, "How is the master?" "At the same time as the good news comes, the list of soldiers who have sacrificed and the list of soldiers who have made meritorious contributions will be passed over together.

The chief butler said happily: "The old slave heard from the people below that this time it was the master who led the vanguard to face the battle, and the master made the first contribution. ”

Yue Yao's face turned pale when she heard this. When fighting, the vanguard is the most dangerous, and the generals of the vanguard are also the most dangerous.

Seeing this, Xiang Wei couldn't know Yueyao's thoughts: "Madam, I believe that the master is measured, you don't have to worry too much." ”

Yueyao smiled bitterly, can you not worry? The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and if you are not careful, you will be killed, and then you will really be an orphan and a widow.

The good news from the northwest came, the emperor was overjoyed, and the ministers below had a better life.

After winning the battle, it is natural to be rewarded for meritorious deeds. Now is an extraordinary period, the emperor's reward will soon come down, An Zhichen was promoted to the chief soldier of the second grade, and Yueyao was also rewarded as the lady of the second grade, in addition, he was also rewarded with gold, silver, jewelry and grange.

Yue Yao looked at the things that the emperor had rewarded, and finally showed a hint of a smile. This was earned by An Zhichen with his life, but she couldn't be sad anymore: "No wonder generals like to fight the most." "After winning a battle, he was promoted by two levels, and I believe that An Zhichen will be promoted soon.

Xiang Wei said with a smile: "Similarly, civil officials also dislike military attaches the most. "Civil officials pay attention to qualifications, and those cabinet ministers who have not studied hard for more than ten years, and then worked on their qualifications step by step, and then contributed to the court before they can enter the cabinet. But the generals are different, as long as they get the opportunity, they will be promoted immediately.

Happy events followed. The next day, Haikou also won a battle. However, compared with the northwest, the scale of Haikou's victory is much smaller. No matter how big or small, as long as you win a battle, you will be rewarded.

Xiang Wei heard that Ting Zheng had been promoted by one level and smiled: "This is really a double happiness." Ma'am, this is a treat. Xiang Wei knew that Yueyao would not hold a big feast, but it was absolutely impossible to invite relatives and friends to come.

Yueyao also had her thoughts: "It's an eventful time now, so let's keep a low profile." ”

Xiang Wei didn't know Yueyao yet, she was afraid of trouble: "I think I still need to invite the Ma family and the Li family to have a good relationship, after all, it is a happy event." ”

Yue Yao nodded: "Okay." ”

In the evening, Kexin knew that Yueyao was going to prepare a banquet, so she volunteered: "Mother, let me give you a hand!" "She also helped Mingzhu to do a banquet in Jiangnan, and the general process is known. Ke Xin also wanted to help Yueyao.

Yue Yao smiled and said, "Okay." ”

Since they are going to have a banquet, the Ma family and the Li family have invited them, and even the people of the family have to be invited, as well as the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, etc., there are more than ten in the end.

Everyone was a little surprised when they received Yueyao's invitation. Especially Wei Yuanhou, it was a special surprise. You must know that Yueyao married into the An family, except for the time when she met her relatives, this was the first time she took the initiative to feast guests.

Yin smiled and said, "Master Hou, do you want to go with us that day?" ”

Wei Yuanhou shook his head and said, "I won't go, I still have something to do that day." You can bring the child over and you're good to go. "It's okay to have a wife go on behalf of the family.

An Zhichen is so promising now, Wei Yuanhou is very happy. Although his position is not high, An Zhichen is up now, and the lintel of An's house can also be revitalized.

Compared with Wei Yuanhou's joy, An Zhixiao was in an unhappy mood. He is the same age as An Zhichen, he is still only a sixth-rank official, but An Zhichen is already a second-rank general. This gap, he will not be able to catch up in his life.

An Zhixiao said viciously to the Lu family: "You are not allowed to go." ”

Lu knew her husband's thoughts, so she naturally didn't dare to disobey An Zhixiao's intentions, and after An Zhixiao went out, Lu went to find Yin's and told her that she couldn't follow her to Yuhua Hutong.

Naturally, the Yin family didn't say anything, and after the Lu family left, the smile on Yin's face was gone. In the past, she fought very hard with the Lu family, and when the old lady died, she was the mistress of the An family, and the Lu family was quite safe on the face. But Lu Shi was born, but An Zhixiao was uneasy.

An Zhixiao never takes money to the public middle school, but his annual expenses for one person are thousands of taels of silver, and the other two rooms have four rooms in addition to the main room and the second room. It can be said that the cost of the second room is far higher than their large house. The Yin family really wanted to kick out the group of moths in the second room, but he just thought about it. Parents are here, children are not separated.

Yin sighed, what she was most worried about now was that when the old marquis left, her husband would not want to split up. She still doesn't know that her husband has a faint face, but she still loves An Zhixiao very much in her heart. If there are no special circumstances, Hou Ye will definitely not let An Zhixiao be separated.

When Xiao Fang's face was stunned when he heard that An Zhichen was now promoted to a second-rank general. An Zhixiao is a very romantic person, and now he has long left Xiao Fang's family behind and has a hot fight with another concubine. And after so many things, Xiao Fang's is no longer the person who was carried away by love back then. Xiao Fang said to himself: "One wrong step, one wrong step. "If she hadn't been obsessed with her second cousin that day, she would have married her third cousin, and now the second lady of the second rank is her. It's a pity that she took a wrong step and ruined her life. Up to now, I have no regrets about taking the medicine, so I can only move on.

This news was deliberately leaked by the Lu clan to Xiao Fang's family. Although now her husband no longer favors that slut, but the slut has a hard mother, and she is a cousin of her in-laws, and she has given birth to a son, she can't help Xiao Fang's family, so she can only be angry from other aspects.

When Yue Bing saw the invitation, she smiled rarely: "I have long known that my brother-in-law is not a thing in the pool." "With An Zhichen's ability, maybe he can earn a knighthood and come back, and when the time comes, Yueyao's identity will definitely rise. Speaking of which, the four sisters are still Yueyao's best life.

Cui's mother said: "Individuals have their own fate. Now the three girls look at the scenery, but the third aunt is fighting in the northwest, and the three girls are frightened every day, which is something that everyone can't see. "Once An Zhichen has an accident, Yueyao's mother and son will become orphans and widows.

Yue Bing said: "Even if An Zhichen has a case, Yueyao's mother and son are called orphans and widows, but she can't be bullied. "Yueyao has so many backers, even if there is no An Zhichen, no one dares to bully her.

Cui's mother was stunned, how could she hear that her wife had a lot of resentment towards the third girl. However, Cui's mother quickly thought that Mrs. received a letter from her hometown last night, and she was afraid that even the old lady asked her to send it. Cui's mother can also understand that now that all her children are promising, Mo's should be enjoying the blessings of her children, but now she is still locked up in the Buddhist hall in her hometown. Mo must be unwilling in his heart.

Cui's mother sighed, she knew today, why bother in the first place.

Treats, all aspects must be taken care of, Yueyao brought Kexin with her when dealing with these things. found that Kexin knew a lot, and she was also very happy to let go and let Kexin deal with it.

Xiang Wei saw what Yueyao meant: "Do you want Kexin to learn to be a housekeeper so that she can be a shopkeeper in the future?" ”

Yue Yao smiled: "Why not?" "If a woman can help the housekeeper, it will be great. Since having Mr. Min, the three brothers of Brother Sheng no longer have to worry about Yueyao. And Kexin has never had to worry about Yueyao, but now Yueyao has nothing to worry about except for worrying about An Zhichen in the northwest. However, because of this worry, Yueyao couldn't calm down and paint, and the most she did on weekdays was to copy scriptures.

Xiang Wei was very pitiful for Kexin.

Yue Yao was also very happy to see that Xiang Wei was now rejuvenated, and the form was more measured than before. Yueyao didn't want Xiang Wei to feel guilty about Jiangnan's affairs all the time.

On the day of the banquet, Yueyao herself was not very novel, but she dressed Kexin very beautifully, like a jade girl sitting down by Guanyin Bodhisattva.

The guests invited by Yueyao, except for Jing Ninghou's wife Ping, who did not come, all the others arrived. Ping's because her own mother was sick and didn't come back to her parents' house to serve her illness.

The appearance of the county lord of Wanhe surprised everyone very much. Most of the people who came were relatives, and in addition to that, it was the Li family, and everyone knew that Yueyao's sister and brother were close to the Li family, but everyone didn't know when Yueyao and Wanhe had such a good relationship.

Zhuang Ruolan asked Yueyao in a whisper: "Why didn't the Lin family come over?" ”

Yueyao smiled and said, "She wasn't feeling well, so she didn't come." In fact, the Lin family didn't come, and Yueyao breathed a sigh of relief. Save Lin Qinghan from coming, and everyone will not feel comfortable at that time, at least she will be uncomfortable.

Yue Bing had a little grudge against Yue Yao in her heart because of Mo's reasons, but she was a measured person, and in front of so many people, she would definitely not lose her temper. Not only that, Yue Bing also echoed Wan and the county lord to say two small paragraphs.

The people who came were all on the scene, and Wanhe County Lord was very good at driving the atmosphere, and everyone was laughing and laughing together, which was very happy.

This result surprised Yueyao a little.
