"Sister!" A few immature children's voices came in from afar.

Several children from the Qu family and the Qin family in new clothes ran into the courtyard like a gust of wind, waved their little arms excitedly, ran to Li Jingjing, and surrounded her.

"Sister, do you miss me?"

"My sister is so beautiful today."

"Sister, is your brother-in-law good to you? It's not good, I'm going to hit him. ”

Qu Kuaishou and Qu Jia Deng took Qu Changchang and Qu Duo families, Qin Yue and He Huishu took their four sons, and a large group of people walked in a mighty manner, and the laughter scared the birds of the pomegranate trees on both sides of the yard away.

This is Li Jingjing's return to the door, as the recognition day of her son-in-law He Jingyan. The relatives of the Li family all came over.

Deng said with a smile: "Sister Jing has a good complexion, and she must be doing well in her mother-in-law's house." ”

He Huishu, who was wearing a willow leaf cyan dress full of fragrance, hugged Li Jingjing and said softly: "Uncle is good to you?" ”

Li Jingjing nodded. He Jingyan treated her better than before the wedding. She wondered if she had shared the reason for Gu Yupei's secret.

"Where's my brother-in-law?" Qin Minye returned to Liquan County after participating in Li Jingjing's wedding a few days ago, and returned to Chang'an last night to live in the princess's mansion.

He Yiyun was still doing confinement, and she didn't leave the house, and she couldn't even participate in Li Jingjing's wedding.

Li Jingjing said: "My grandfather called him into the study to talk about things. ”

"My brother-in-law has a fief, and he will be very busy next." As soon as Qin Minye heard it, he knew that it was a fiefdom.

He used to be ambitious and ambitious, wanting to be an important minister of the imperial court and work for the benefit of the people of the entire Ding Dynasty.

If he hadn't wanted to be a county magistrate in He Yiyun's fiefdom of Liquan County, he would really want to go to He Jingyan's fiefdom Jincheng as an official.

"Isn't it? The imperial court gave seven cities at once, and he was not afraid that Brother Yan would take over and make the local people poorer. When Li Jingjing said this, she was really dissatisfied with Qin Minye's father-in-law.

Qin Minye said with emotion: "I have been to Longdi, the north and west of Jincheng are bitter cold places, especially Yumen and Dunhuang have endless deserts, not a single inch of grass grows, even the north is not as good, and the population is very sparse. ”

"Sparsely populated?" Li Jingjing's impression of Longdi is still in the modern age of the previous life.

At that time, as a senior junior in the army, she went to the loess plateau in the northwest to teach military pharmacists.

I remember that in the few counties I visited, the houses were smaller than those in the north and south, because there was less rain all year round, and the roofs were flat.

The wind and sand are particularly strong, and you have to drink more water every day to avoid fire, and you don't dare to eat dried fruits such as melon seeds and peanuts.

Due to the strong ultraviolet rays, people have two black and red patches on their cheeks. At that time, a local veteran military pharmacist smiled and pointed to the black and red skin on his face and said, "Lanzhou's Duo'er is red, Xining's Tang Sancai, our Lanzhou people are much whiter than Xining."

She really didn't know what the Longdi of Dingchao looked like. Only Li Bing of the Li family has been to Longdi, and the rest of the people learned about the situation there from books.

Qin Minye picked up Li Kun, kissed him, and walked into the hall, saying as he walked: "Although Yumen and Dunhuang are city governments, the combined population is not even a Liuyang County in Hunan Province. ”

Li Yunfei ran over, tilted his little head, and asked: "Brother Minye, Yumen and Dunhuang are both cities that must pass through the Silk Road in this dynasty, and they are commercially developed, so they should be densely populated, right?" ”

"The Xiongnu, Tubo, and Huiyi horse bandits there are very rampant, daring to rob small and medium-sized caravans, and once captured the county seat, robbing people, grain, and treasures, and losing their conscience!" Qin Minye thought of the fact that he had witnessed a caravan of more than 50 people lying on the edge of the desert, and he was full of indignation, and said: "With these livestock here, and the government is inactive, the people of Yumen and Dunhuang are not living well, how can the population go up?" ”

Li Yunfei suddenly turned his head and said to Li Jingjing: "Sister, no wonder Your Majesty wants to send your brother-in-law to Longdi, it turns out that you want the Tiger Army to kill all the horse bandits!" He said excitedly: "Sister, take me to Longdi, I want to kill horse bandits in the army!" ”

Li Jingjing said: "You are only a few years old, you are not as tall as me, and you don't want to kill horse bandits!" ”

The Qin family's twin bears, Qin Libang and Qin Jiahao, jumped up and shouted, "Sister, I'm tall, you can take me to Longdi." "Sister, I'm taller than you, I can go to Longdi to kill horse bandits!"

Li Jingjing asked rhetorically: "You haven't even killed anyone, and you still go to kill the fierce and vicious horse bandits?" ”

Qin Libang and Qin Jiahao shouted dissatisfiedly: "Our brother has hunted wolves. "No matter how fierce the horse bandit is, can he be more fierce than the wolf?"

Several children of the Qu family studied and did not practice martial arts, and they all looked at the children of the Li and Qin families with envious eyes.

Qu Kuaishou has seen his grandson and great-grandson like this more than once, thinking about whether he should pass on the ancestral knife skills to them, but it is the executioner's knife technique, and the murderous spirit is too heavy.

The three families all sat in the hall and asked Hou Li Jingjing, more worried that she would suffer a lot if she went to Longdi.

Ma asked his children to go outside to play, and pricked up his ears to listen to Li Jingjing. Her two brothers-in-law have not changed their official positions for ten years.

She was only Qu Duo's second wife, and she didn't have the courage to ask the Li family to transfer her two elder brothers to official positions.

However, this time, the fief of Li Jingjing and his wife has seven city governments, and each city government must have more than a dozen local officials such as Changshi, and more than 100 officials are needed in seven cities, not counting the internal officials of the Longdi Governor's Mansion.

Although Longdi is poor, her two elder brothers have said many times that they are not afraid of hardship in order to be able to display their ambitions.

Li Jingjing felt the eagerness in Ma's eyes, and asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, what's the matter, it's okay to say it directly?" ”

Ma Shi couldn't say it bluntly in front of so many people, and said: "I see that you have a ruddy complexion, and I think my brother-in-law's family treats you very well." ”

In the hall of the Cloud Courtyard, Qin Wanjing was methodically arranging the day's work for the people in the mansion.

Sister-in-law He walked in quickly, presented the list in her hand, and said in a low voice: "Young lady, you see this is the gift list from Qingwangfu to the young lady to return to the door." ”

Qin Wanjing looked at it carefully, twice as much as she imagined, so that the return gift originally prepared for the Qingwang Mansion had to be increased, because if she wanted to use the valuables in the Li Mansion's treasury, she had to get the consent of the He family, so she immediately wrote a list.

She has an excellent memory, even if she is pregnant, she can remember every item in the storeroom, and she can write when she picks up a pen without asking anyone.

After a while, the list she wrote reached the hands of the He family, who was talking to Li Jingjing in the hall of the main courtyard.

Sister-in-law He leaned over and whispered in He's ear: "Big lady, the young lady said that she removed the return gift prepared before, plus the items on this list. ”

Seeing that the items inside were no less valuable than those sent by King Qing's Mansion, He nodded with a smile and said, "Jing Niang did a good job, so I did it." ”

Qin Wanjing finished her work in the house, so she hurried over to see Li Jingjing.

My sister-in-law used to be best friends, but now they are all married, especially Qin Wanjing, who is already the mother of one child, and she is still pregnant with two children in her belly, she is a little emotional.

"Sister, I wish you an early birth to a precious son." Qin Wanjing deliberately called Li Kun over, asked him to sit on Li Jingjing's lap, and said with a smile: "Kun Lang, you recruit a little brother for your aunt." ”

Li Kun stretched out his little hand to touch Li Jingjing's abdomen, giggled, and said, "Little brother, come to my aunt's belly." ”

Li Jingjing was so ashamed that she grabbed Li Kun's hand. She is just 14 years old this year, and her pelvis is not fully developed, so she is not suitable for childbirth.

Li Bing and He Jingyan actually talked all morning, and then went directly to the dining room to meet everyone.

"Brother-in-law!" "Uncle!" "Brother-in-law!" "Nephew and son-in-law!" A large group of people surrounded him, and the enthusiasm made He Jingyan so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

He Jingyan took out the red envelopes that had been prepared a long time ago and sent them to the children of the Qin family and the Qu family, including the two daughters brought by Lian Ma.

"One hundred taels of silver tickets! Brother-in-law is so nice. The three bear children of the Qin family jumped up and down with joy.

Qu Qingcheng, Qu Beihe, Qu Guangyao, Qu Guangzong, Qu Guangxian and Ma's two daughters have never received such a large red envelope, and they don't know whether they should accept it or not.

Li Jingjing smiled and touched the little heads of the two younger brothers, nephews, and nieces, and said with a smile: "It's almost all gone." ”

The Qu family had a total of seven children, and they got seven hundred taels of silver at this time.

Qu Kuai hurriedly said: "Jing Yan, you have given too much." ”

He Jingyan said with a smile: "Uncle and grandfather, Jing Niang and I should be in the fiefdom for the next ten years, if these silver coins are ten years of New Year's money, then it is not enough." ”

Ma has long known that Li Jingjing is generous to her relatives, and now that she is married, so is her husband He Jingyan, and he feels that it is right to let the two maiden brothers go to Longdi with him.

After everyone had lunch lively, the Qu and Qin families went home.

He Jingyan was still caught by Li Bing and taken to the study to talk about things.

Li Yunqing came back from running errands outside, and went to see Li Jingjing first without eating.

Usually Qu's, He's, Qin Wanjing, and Di Yurong have to take a lunch break, but today they are talking to Li Jingjing in good spirits.

"The last time, I went to Xianyang with the prince and did a few things to enter the palace to restore my life. The prince said he would come in the afternoon. Li Yunqing looked at her sister, and really wanted to reach out and touch her hair like she did when she was a child, but she was married and became He Jingyan's wife.

Now he understands that when he married Qin Wanjing into the mansion, the two brothers-in-law were always in a sour mood when they talked in those days.

Li Jingjing asked, "What happened in Xianyang?" ”

"Hundreds of peasants gathered to make trouble because of the uneven distribution of land in the village." Li Yunqing would not say in detail that the government officials killed four peasants, two of whom were just fifteen years old, "Xianyang is very close to Chang'an, and the imperial court attaches great importance to such a thing, and His Majesty specially sent me and the prince to deal with it." ”

Li Jingjing thought that the people of Longdi gathered in front of the government every year to make trouble, but because it was far away from Chang'an, the imperial court couldn't control it, so it couldn't be done every time.

She and He Jingyan are going there, and there has to be one thing to manage one thing.

"Big brother has worked hard, drink some water first, and then go to eat and sleep to catch up on sleep. Jing Yan and I had dinner before leaving. ”

"It's much easier than when I used to march and fight." Li Yunqing looked at her sister's eyes and doted on, took the tea handed over by her pregnant wife Qin Wanjing, drank the tea, and said: "The big family of Longdi is the Yun clan, and the Yun clan's family is in Tianshui, and its branch is in Jincheng. ”

When Li Jingjing was in Luoyang, she learned from Li Bing's mouth that the Yun clan sat back and watched the branch do evil in Jincheng, and sneered: "The branch of the Yun clan is like the head snake of Jincheng. I went with Brother Yan, so I had to fight this snake first. ”

Di Yurong's face changed slightly, and she said, "Jing Niang, the power of the Yun clan is no less than that of the Bai clan and the Deng clan, and it is stronger than my mother's family. The branch of the Yun clan in Jincheng heard that there are many people who are strong in martial arts. You and Jing Yan can't despise them. ”

Li Jingjing nodded. There are masters around her, but none of them are top-notch. It seems that the personal guards have to be dignitaries from Baiyun Temple. In the past few years, she has given Taoist medicine every year, and it should be the time for Taoism to reciprocate.

He said in a low voice: "Back then, your grandmother's family, the Mu Clan, was destroyed overnight, and Wanguan's family wealth was taken away by the Kai Dynasty Imperial Court, but the shops and fields in Longdi were bought by the Yun Clan at an extremely low price. ”

Li Jingjing was a little surprised and asked, "Could the destruction of the Mu Clan have anything to do with the Yun Clan?" ”

He shook his head and said, "Your grandmother's cousin is married to the daughter of the Yun clan. The Mu Clan and the Yun Clan have a centuries-old marriage relationship and support each other. At this, the expression was sad.

Li Jingjing hurriedly went over and took He's hands.

He said: "At that time, it was a troubled time, the emperor of the Kai Dynasty was extremely mediocre, and the Yun clan once refused to marry Wang Yanyu's grandmother as the queen in order not to be involved with the royal family, so that he would not do such a stupid thing as framing the Mu clan. ”

Qin Wanjing proposed: "My sister must add some people with high martial arts skills." ”

Qu didn't understand political affairs, but he could understand it, and said, "Sister Jing, you just listen to Jing Yan's words and wait for him to get things done in Jincheng before he passes." ”

Li Jingjing said: "Grandma, Jincheng is not a battlefield, even if the situation is a little complicated, it is only a few families, and most of the families are responsible for obeying the command and orders of the imperial court." I went without danger. ”

Di Yurong saw that Qu's face was worried, so she said: "Mother, Jing Niang has a team of pro-soldiers by her side, and she will find a few top masters to protect her, as long as you don't go out of the city and stay in the palace, there will be no danger." ”

Li Yunqing said solemnly: "You go to Jincheng, Tianshui is a must-pass place, you might as well go to the Yun clan's house to sit down, meet the old patriarch of the Yun clan, and talk to him." ”

The old patriarch of the Yun clan is the biological father of Wang Yanyu's grandmother and the dean of Chang'an Academy. Two years ago, he intended to let his great-grandson Yun Feiyue marry Li Jingjing.

This person also had a good relationship with Li Bing, and he did not hinder or support the righteous army led by He Dong back then.

Li Jingjing nodded and said, "Okay." We went to visit the old patriarch Yun, which can be regarded as a salute before the soldiers. ”

In the afternoon, He Yiyang brought the underage He Yijue, He Yirong, He Shen, and He Xiangxiang from the palace.

It was the first time that He Yirong went out of the palace to be a guest outside, and he felt strange when he saw everything.

He Shi took over He Yirong, who was more than two years old with a fair face and a little girl, and said with a smile: "The queen is finally willing to let the Nine Emperor Princes out of the palace." ”

He Yirong was sick and late, and he could only say one word, and his two little hands saluted He and said, "Aunt." He waved at Di Yurong again and said, "Auntie." ”

Di Yurong was surprised: "The Nine Emperor Princes still remember me." Come and let me hug. He Yirong took it over.

He Xiangxiang had been instructed by He Yiyang to be closer to Qin Wanjing before, ran up and hugged Qin Wanjing's thighs, and asked with an affectionate smile: "Uncle Qin, have the two little brothers made trouble with you these days?" ”

Qin Wanjing took He Xiangxiang's soft little hand, and said in her heart: The little county lord is really the president, and the five views have grown the advantages of the prince and Concubine Dong. "They made a lot of noise at night and kicked me to the point where I cried."

Li Jingjing hugged He Shen, who was a little shy, and asked, "Do you still recognize who I am?" ”

He Shen looked at the young woman who was more beautiful than the crown princess, kissed her cheek, and said with a smile: "Uncle." ”

He Yiyang said in surprise and proudly: "My family Shenlang is so smart, no one taught him, he is right." ”

Li Jingjing said with a smile: "Brother Yan is in my grandfather's study. ”

He Yiyang dragged Li Yunqing to go with him, and as soon as he pushed the door open, he saw Li Yunxiao kneeling on the ground with a handsome face and stubborn eyes.

"You're here just in time, persuade this stinky boy who doesn't know the height of the sky for me." Li Bing pointed to his second grandson and said angrily: "He doesn't participate in the autumn scientific expedition, he wants to follow Jing Niang to Longdi, saying that he will help her manage the fiefdom with Jing Yan." ”

He Jingyan got up and smiled bitterly: "Second brother has been kneeling here for almost an hour. "His name is Li Yunxiao, and the second brother is very smooth.

He Yiyang and Li Yunxiao looked fat in a pair of pants, and they knew what he was thinking, so they immediately said seriously: "Master, the little fat man is already an adult at the age of fourteen, I don't think it's okay to start a business, even if you start a family." ”

Li Yunxiao looked up at He Yiyang and said hurriedly: "I didn't think about getting married. ”

He Yiyang turned a deaf ear and said: "If he goes to Longdi to be an official, I think I will simply marry him and Jue Niang." Husband and wife go together. ”

Li Bing's lips opened slightly, and he said two words: "Nonsense!" Then he waited for He Yiyang to smile evilly, and said: "Jue Niang is only eight years old this year, how can there be a princess who got married so early?" ”

He Yiyang stretched out his foot and kicked Li Yunxiao, and said in his heart: I will help you. said with a smile: "Master, if you don't want the little fat man to get married, then let him go to Longdi to be an official as he wishes." Chang'an to Jincheng is not too far, and he rushed back to the autumn scientific expedition. ”

Li Yunxiao hurriedly asked, "Big brother, the prince and brother-in-law both agree to let me go." What about you? ”

Li Yunqing touched his head and did not answer directly, but looked at Li Bing and said, "Grandpa, if I can hand over the affairs in my hand, I also want to follow my sister to Longdi." ”

Li Yunxiao saw that Li Bing was a little moved, so he jumped up and hugged his thighs with both hands, and said hurriedly: "Grandpa, my sister went to such a poor and dangerous Longdi, and there was no male in our family to follow, so how can we do it?" ”

Li Bing glared and said, "Who said that Longdi is dangerous? ”

"Just now you were discussing with your brother-in-law about exterminating the horse bandits." Li Yunxiao shook Li Bing back and forth, and begged: "I went to Longdi, even if I can't be a local official, I can record what my sister and brother-in-law do every day, and write to you every day to report." ”

Let's say that after Qu Kuaishou and his family left the Li Mansion, the Ma family gave Qu Duo a look, and the couple followed them to the Qu Mansion with their five children.

Sure enough, when Qu Kuaishou arrived home, he gathered the whole family in the hall and said solemnly: "Sister Jing has a great kindness to our family. She was so young, she just got married to King Yan and went to Longdi. I wondered if we had someone to help us out. ”
