The manpower of the night patrol was determined. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On this night on the ninth day of the seventh month, it was very peaceful.

There were many people, and several mothers-in-law ate two mouthfuls of wine to strengthen their courage, and patrolled all night, until the sky spit out the white of the fish belly, and one by one the hanging people fell.

Mama Zhu yawned, rubbed her eyes, and said, "Okay, it's okay, it's okay, hurry back and sleep." ”

A mother-in-law blushed and said, "The second wife's idea is good." ”

Mama Zhu glanced at her and smiled: "This is the old lady's idea, our wife and lady are all according to the old routine, old horse, what do you say?" ”

Mama Ma's eyes rolled and she was happy: "No, a few old sisters know me, I had the best wine, I drank two glasses last night, and I received the reward today, and I can buy a pot of good wine and cut some snacks, if I don't stay up all night and can't eat, I don't want to miss it all night." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone rejoiced.

Mama Zhu giggled and said, "No wonder Madam said that she wanted to help someone, it turns out that the root is in you, and Madame is thinking of a way to send you silver." ”

And they were scattered.

When Du Yunluo arrived in the flower hall, she saw Lian Shi with a happy expression at a glance.

"Isn't that nothing?" Lian smiled comfortably, "It's all about spreading falsehoods and scaring people indiscriminately." ”

Du Yunluo bowed: "Isn't that it, the manpower of the night patrol still continues to be arranged, and we have been patrolling for ten days and half a month, and it will be too peaceful." ”

Lian's head was heavy, and the little silver that was rewarded was all from the public, and the amount was not much, so no one was distressed.

On the night of the first 10 years, everything was as usual.

Just when everyone was breathing a sigh of relief, in the eleventh night, the mothers-in-law who patrolled the night saw a fleeting shadow.

"Are you looking away?" Early in the morning, Lian's face, who had received the letter, sank.

Mama Dong shook her head again and again: "Madam, I was on a night patrol yesterday, and the slaves and maids were also among them, so I did see it." ”

"Then tell me what you see?" Lian raised his voice and suddenly suppressed the mother-in-law and ladies in the flower hall.

Mama Dong swallowed her saliva: "In a flash, the slave didn't see what it was like......"

Lian gritted his teeth and pointed at Mama Dong about to have a seizure.

"Second aunt," Du Yunluo stopped Lian Shi and said, "Wait a while, the masters who do things will come, and when you start chanting, nothing dirty will be gone, so you can dissipate your anger." ”

Lian's chest rose and fell, and he took the tea cup and drank it all, so he didn't bother with Mama Dong.

She didn't have time to worry about Mama Dong all the time, the masters entered the mansion, and the Lian family had to take Du Yunluo to arrange everything.

The masters were placed in the wings of the front yard, which were close to the school yard, and the school yard was wide and convenient.

When the preparations were ready, Du Yunluo went back to the inner courtyard with the Lian family.

"Ma'am."

Halfway through, she suddenly heard footsteps behind her, and a crisp voice called to her.

Du Yunluo turned around and saw Jiuxi trotting over.

Jiuxi's smile was refreshing, half a year old, he hadn't started to turn his head yet, and he was only as tall as Du Yunluo at this time.

Jiuxi greeted Lian and Du Yunluo, took out a thick letter from his arms, and said, "Mrs., madam, the letter sent back by the prince and the second master was just retrieved from the post house. ”

Lian's eyes suddenly lit up: "I've been looking forward to it, even Cheng's stinky boy, I don't know my thoughts as a mother and his daughter-in-law, and I don't remember to send a letter back." Here! Take it apart for a while, if Lian Xiao hadn't written a letter, Lian Cheng would not have been able to think of it. ”

Du Yunluo pursed her lips and smiled, took the letter from Jiuxi's hand, and added a reward: "I know that you are clever." ”

Jiuxi grinned as he pinched the broken silver.

Lian was anxious, but he couldn't dismantle it halfway, so he took Du Yunluo to Baijietang quickly.

Basho opened the curtain, Lian walked in with a smile, and raised his voice: "Old lady, Lian Cheng and Lian Xiao have returned from sending letters home." ”

Mrs. Wu's voice came out: "Hurry up and bring it in and I'll take a look." ”

Du Yunluo handed the letter to Mrs. Wu.

Mrs. Wu's eyes were still very good, and she removed the fire paint and pulled out a thick stack.

Three sheets of paper, and a couple of smaller envelopes.

Mrs. Wu squinted and looked at it: "These two letters are from Lian Xiao to his mother and daughter-in-law, and these two letters are from Lian Cheng to you and his daughter-in-law." ”

Lian took the letter with a smile.

Du Yunluo didn't rush to take it, looking at the familiar handwriting on the envelope, she pursed her lips and smiled.

Mrs. Wu spread out the three pieces of paper and read them back and forth twice, word by word: "It is said that everything is fine, and the food and clothing cannot be compared with the house, but guarding the frontier is naturally not as particular as Beijing." ”

Lian took the letter and read it carefully, and then it was Du Yunluo's turn.

Du Yunluo took a quick look.

The letter said that in addition to the small fights from time to time, after Mu Lianxiao arrived at the border, he also fought with the Tartars.

General Shao Lao sits in the middle tent, although Mu Lianxiao and Mu Liancheng are Hou Men Generals, but not to mention the experience of leading the army, they have never been on the battlefield, so they are following General Shao Lao and the rest of the brave and good veterans to learn, in addition to practicing every day, they must also follow General Shao's orders to patrol everywhere.

After Mu Liancheng arrived at the frontier, he invited himself to be the vanguard, and Mu Lianxiao did not fall behind.

Du Yunluo was fascinated.

Zhou walked in quickly and said, "Old lady, I heard that the two brothers have returned from sending letters to their families?" ”

Zhou came in a hurry, it was hot outside, her sweat wet her forehead, and she didn't see the dignified and steady on weekdays.

Mrs. Wu knew his mood and pointed at Du Yunluo: "Oh, it's in your daughter-in-law's hands." ”

Du Yunluo hurriedly handed the letter to Zhou.

Zhou pinched the letter, his hands trembled slightly, and when he finished reading it, his tightly pursed lips loosened a little, and he bent up in a shallow arc: "It's all good, this heroic and resolute is worthy of the old marquis, worthy of their father and uncle." ”

Mrs. Wu's eyes were deep: "The glory of the Marquis of Dingyuan is all played on horseback, and he takes the lead." ”

Du Yunluo's heart skipped a heavy beat.

She remembered the grief of Wu Lao Taijun and Zhou after Mu Lianxiao's death, and also saw the tears of Xu and Lu.

Everyone was so sad and painful, but in her memory, she had never seen regret and fear in their eyes.

What sustains them is pride and faith in their hearts.

Du Yunluo suddenly remembered what Mrs. Wu had told her.

Lao Taijun said: "As a woman who is a gate, you must have the consciousness that your father, husband, and son will never return." ”

The Marquis of Dingyuan does not need cowards, nor does it need cowardly "women", the hereditary title must be exchanged with courage, even if it is to pay for the life of the horse leather shroud, it is also an honor.

It is not terrible to die in battle, but what is terrible is to give several generations of loyal martyrs in the Yuanhou Mansion to smear them.

Mrs. Wu has always taught her children like this.

Du Yunluo lowered her eyes and took a deep breath.

What kind of mood will such a strong old lady Wu have when he knows the truth about the death of the old marquis and his children and grandchildren? (To be continued.) )
