At noon that day, Yuan Xiu returned home.

Outside the Wind Pavilion in the back garden of Xiangguo Mansion, a beautiful woman was surrounded in front.

The woman Luo skirt is gorgeous, with a treasure bun and cigarette makeup, bright eyes with tears, and the spring fingers in her sleeves are white, looking at the heroic and martial arts who entered the garden in armor, and she is afraid that she will wake up from a dream, but like a daughter who has not left the cabinet.

"Mother!" Yuan Xiuwang saw the woman kneeling on the ground and bowed, her armor hitting the ground, and her voice was sonorous.

"My son!" Fahrenheit was stunned, and when he broke away from his mother-in-law, he hugged him and cried.

When the child left home when he was young, he woke up at night when he was a mother, and all he remembered in the past ten years was the appearance of a teenager, but now he saw a heroic young man, and Fahrenheit couldn't help but lose his clothes in tears.

"Tell my mother to take a look!" Fahrenheit said with tears in his eyes.

Yuan Xiu raised his head, and his mother held his face carefully, his starry eyes were bright, and his smile was bright, "My mother is still the same as when my son left, and she is not old at all!" ”

When Hua saw his son, he was full of joy and sorrow, and he was really stunned for a while when he heard this, he was not angry or laughing, and he was reluctant to start, so he said: "I haven't been home for ten years, no one cares about you at the border, and I have become more and more unruly, so I actually joked about my mother!" ”

Although he reprimanded lightly, Hua's eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and he helped Yuan Xiu up in his hands.

"Sixth brother!" As soon as Yuan Xiu stood up, a girl burst out of the crowd behind Hua's family.

I saw that the girl was fourteen years old, with bright eyes, red lips and bright teeth, a riding dress, a moon-scented skirt, sheep and horse boots, and a red plum tree.

Yuan Xiu was slightly stunned, looked at the girl, and said happily: "Seventh sister? ”

Yuan Yu's smile was bright, and his cheeks suddenly became a little rosy.

"You've grown so big?" Yuan Xiu was both happy and emotional, and he couldn't pick up his sister like he did when he was a child, so he had to rub her head.

"Oops!" Yuan Yu giggled and dodged, and said from afar, "Sixth brother, don't mess up with me, I still want to go to the school field to ride a horse after noon!" ”

"What are you doing riding a horse for the Chinese New Year today?" Fahrenheit rebuked.

"The sixth brother is back, and he is going to go to the school, and the riding and archery skills I have practiced over the years must be shown to the sixth brother!"

"Your sixth brother just came back, and there is a palace banquet to go tonight, so you can't let him rest?" Hua shook his head and sighed to Yuan Xiu, "Look, she was still young when you left, and she couldn't see her temperament, she has become more and more crazy over the years, and she has also learned the martial arts of riding and archery, and the daughters of Shengjing's mansions are not as unattractive as her!" ”

"Mother should be glad that I am my daughter's family, if it is a man, I will also join the army like the sixth brother, kill the enemy and serve the country!" Yuan Yu smiled brightly, and his voice was like a yellow warbler.

"Good! Be ambitious! Yuan Xiu laughed and went to rub his sister's head again.

"You're still complimenting her? How can a daughter's family want to serve the country in the army all day long? Hua glared at Yuan Xiu, quite helpless, the Hua family is a military general, and the two sons and daughters are like their uncles.

When Yuan Xiu heard this, he thought of the girl who really pretended to be a son and joined the army, and his smile unconsciously added some tenderness.

At this time, I only heard someone say: "I have seen Hou Ye, and I have congratulated Hou Ye." ”

Yuan Xiu followed the prestige and saw a group of female dependents behind Hua, except for the mother-in-law and maids, who were his married sisters, and it was the second sister Yuan Zhen who gave him joy.

The mother-in-law behind Yuan Zhen was shocked, and she was busy pulling Yuan Zhen's sleeves, the second lady was unconscious, now Hou Ye is triumphant, Mrs. and Hou Ye mother and son have not seen each other for ten years, and they are talking, how can the second miss interject?

Yuan Zhen didn't seem to notice her mother-in-law's reminder, and only smiled at Yuan Xiu.

In the past, she didn't dare, Hua was born as a county lord, and the rules were very heavy, except for her own children, she also treated the Yuan Qian from the original wife to be kinder.

The original Ma family was delicate and frail, and the decoction was continuous, and he had not been married for many years, and several concubines gave birth to a son and three daughters. That sister-in-law is the same as his mother, his body is weak, and he is also hanging with decoction all day long.

Three years after Ma's death, Hua Shi got married, although she was a step-family but she was the county lord, her background was much more noble than Ma's, after giving birth to Yuan Xiu, no one in the house gradually mentioned the son-in-law born by Ma, and they all respected Yuan Xiu as the son-in-law of the Prime Minister's house.

After Hua's entry into the palace, she was quite disciplined, but as long as she did not lose her manners, she never punished her concubines, nor did she treat her concubines harshly. But everyone in the house knows that since she entered the mansion, the concubines in the mansion have never given birth to heirs, and she is the only one who has given birth to a pair of children.

Yuan Zhen sneered in her heart, she had been cautious in the house before leaving the cabinet, and now she is married well, her husband is favored, and she gave birth to two sons for her husband's family.

Yuan Xiu's smile faded, and he hugged his fists and said, "I've seen the second sister, the third sister, and the fourth sister." ”

The three sisters of Yuan Zhen were busy giving Yuan Xiu a return gift, and they were all wearing Ding Dong in the blessing body, all of them had good manners.

Hua Shi glanced at Yuan Zhen lightly, Jiangbei has three foreign armies, the Northwest Army is the first army, there are still Lingbei and Yidong two armies, Yuan Zhen is married to Chen Nan, the eldest son of General Yidong, the eldest daughter of the Yuan family is married to the eldest son of the Chen family, the Chen family seeks the power of the Yuan family in the court, and the Yuan family seeks the soldiers of the Chen family, but it is a marriage. With the Yuan family now in the court, the daughter of the Yuan family is out of nowhere, and she has a firm foothold in the Chen family.

This is complacent, and it is difficult for the concubine to become a big thing in the end.

"Mother, can the fifth brother be in the house? I'm going to see him. Yuan Xiu turned around and asked, there are many brothers and sisters in the family, but only the fifth brother is the same age as him, and he has the most to say when he was a child, but the fifth brother is not in good health and does not go out in the house all day long.

"Go, your fifth brother has been talking about you when he heard that you are going back to the court, and he asks how many times a day these days. You know that he has a weak temperament, and it is not easy to miss you like this, and this morning I asked you when you will return home, and I want to come out to meet you together. In this cold winter, his body is bone, how dare his mother let him come out to blow this cold wind? It just so happened that your father said that you should settle the army generals first, and your mother said that you may not come back at noon, and told him to wait in the house with peace of mind, and when you come back, I will go to greet him. ”

Say hello?

Yuan Zhen did not change the smile on her face, but she sneered in her heart.

This sounds like he really regards Yuan Qian as his son-in-law, if he really thinks so, why haven't he mentioned this matter all these years, because Yuan Qian's position in the mansion is embarrassing? Now it's just to see that Yuan Xiu is leading the Northwest Army and has a stable position in the house, so he said this, anyway, he said a word and didn't make money, one can show his mother's love, and he can show his mother's kindness, why not?

"The sixth brother is going to see the fifth brother? I'll go too! The fifth brother said a few days ago that he would carve a good thing for me, and I can't wait for the New Year to be over and then ask him for it, so I'll take a look at it today. Yuan Yu smiled and ran to Yuan Xiu's side.

"Good!" Yuan Xiu responded.

Hua's helpless glared at Yuan Yu, this is all because she saw that her son was far away at the border, and only such a daughter was by her side, so she spoiled her a little and developed this unrestrained temperament. She sighed, but didn't stop her, thinking that it would be better than going to the school field for the New Year to ride a horse.

"In that case, let's all go back to the house. You have been married for all these years, and it is not easy to gather in the house today, so you must have a good and lively atmosphere. Fahrenheit turned to the concubines and said, but his face was a little pale, and he instructed the mother-in-law beside him, "Go ahead and take a look at the grandfather and aunts, if there is nothing to talk about, let's start the banquet later." ”

Today, Yuan Xiu returned to the house, and the concubines who got married in the house went back to the house with their aunts to congratulate, and it happened to be in time for the New Year, so they were all in the house.

The woman should have retreated, and did not take a few steps forward, when she saw a small girl hurrying in the distance.

"The master and the lady have the same heart, and they can't wait for the banquet to start." The mother-in-law came back and smiled.

Fahrenheit smiled and looked at the little guy.

The little servant said: "Mrs., the young man sent the little one to pass the Hou Ye to the study." ”

Yuan Xiu hadn't left yet, he was stunned when he heard this, and Hua Shi was also stunned, and before he could speak, he heard Yuan Xiu say: "Okay, let's go." ”

"Mother, my son will go to the study first and take a look, and then go back to see the fifth brother." Yuan Xiu waved at Fahrenheit before leaving.

"Go ahead." Hua Shi had to smile and bow his head, and when he saw Yuan Xiu walking away, he sighed and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?" As soon as the son returned home, he was in a hurry to talk about those court affairs, and he didn't let people rest first. ”

When Yuan Xiu arrived, Yuan Xiangguo was already waiting for him in the study.

"Father." Yuan Xiu gave Yuan Xiangguo a salute and asked, "The father sent his son to the study, I don't know what happened?" ”

"What?" Yuan Xiangguo looked at his son, his eyes were dignified, and asked, "Dad asked you, have you read the letters sent at home?" ”

"I'm busy with things at the border, so I haven't seen it." Yuan Xiudao.

Yuan Xiangguo knew that he hadn't seen it, and he was already angry in his heart, seeing that he was so frank and unrestrained, and he didn't even lie, he suddenly became even more angry and said: "Rebel!" ”

Yuan Xiu bowed his head to listen to the training and did not speak.

Yuan Xiangguo took a few breaths and said angrily: "You don't read the letters at home, do you know that you have neglected to use people?" ”

Yuan Xiu was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes and asked, "What does my father mean?" ”

"What do you mean? The one in your new army surnamed Zhou, do you know who she is? Yuan Xiangguo asked, the rough name of the countryside, he couldn't shout.

"Father is talking about Eirui?" Yuan Xiu was stunned for a moment before he came to think about it.

"Wise? That's it! When the holy decree of the general was sent down to the border pass, you didn't want to think about it, there are so many fierce generals in your army, why did a nobody get this title and grace? "Yuan Xiang's Chinese language is harsh, and he has the meaning of hating iron and not steel.

"Father wants to say that Yingrui is the person who was planted in the army by the saint?" Yuan Xiu asked lightly.

Yuan Xiangguo looked at him with a displeased face, knowing that he had always protected his own people, and asked: "Do you know that this person entered the Bianhe Palace before joining the army?" ”

The spies of the palace came to report half a year ago, and the saint sealed a beauty, broke several cases, and brought people to live in the Qianfang Palace. This person has a good appearance and a rough name, and when the name is reported, he remembers it at a glance. It's just that this person only lived in the Qianfang Palace for a few days and disappeared, and the palace people were secretly discussing this matter, and when the spies came to report, they thought that the saint was moody, and the person had been killed, and they never thought that this person actually appeared in the Northwest Army! Although the appearance is quite different from the original report, the two are both from Bianhe and have the same name, could it be a coincidence?

After he learned of this, he sent someone to Bianhe to investigate, but the hateful thing is that He Shanqi, the governor of the Jiangnan Navy, has a vendetta with the Yuan family, and it is not easy for the Yuan family to act in Jiangnan over the years, and the forces that have been painstakingly planted in the Bianzhou Thorn Mansion were suddenly uprooted half a year ago!

Without the people in the Assassin's Mansion, it was not easy to find out the name of a young man in more than 100 villages in nine counties under the rule of Bianhe, so he had to send a letter to the border pass, hoping that his son would pay attention to this person.

The DPRK wants to establish a naval division, and when the 50,000 new troops stationed outside the city in Jiangnan are used, the military heart is important, this person is quite famous in the new army, and she has to be sealed when she returns to the court, but the identity of this person is unknown, and it is not clear who it is, and it is still necessary to think carefully about whether to reuse it.

"Wise is not a saint." At this time, Yuan Xiu suddenly opened his mouth-

Off topic -

I can't write house fights, and I'm stuck to death, but the Yuan family is very important in the whole story, and I still have to introduce it.

Let's put the palace banquet in the next chapter, let's change these first, and continue to write.
