Chapter Seventy-Eight: Jin Min Goes Home
Hu Shi looked at her coquettish and embarrassed little daughter, and couldn't help laughing. Then I thought of Shen Rong who went to the northwest. Counting up, it will be almost half a year since Shen Rong went to the northwest. Except for the time when I wrote a letter to report my safety, it seems that there is no news until now. I have written several letters, but I have never heard back. She asked Master Gao about the situation in the northwest, and Master Gao just shook his head and said: "The situation in the northwest is not peaceful at present, Xirong is constantly moving, and the border has been very noisy recently. "Between the words, I was also very worried about Chen Wangxiaci. Hu was worried about Shen Rong's safety. When I heard such news, I felt really uncomfortable. It's just that the distance is far away, and even if I have the heart, I can't help anything. Only pray with incense in front of the Buddha every day, hoping that Shen Rong will be safe.
On the day of Shen Fang and Lu Li, she received a gift from the lord of Mingyu who was far away in the capital, the clothes made by the eldest sister-in-law Kang's own hands, and the flower tea carefully made by the second sister Jinyu to condition the body. There is even a purple jade Ruyi sent by Hu Huixin, the crown prince and concubine in the palace. Her biological mother, Liu, also made a cloak for her. and things sent by friends and family. The overall implication is to hope that she is healthy, safe and happy. Shen Fang was happy, but there was a little loss. "The eldest lady is far away in the northwest, I don't think I will forget the third lady, it must be that the northwest is not very peaceful, and things can't be sent." Red Lotus comforted her like this. Although she was not particularly good with Shen Rong at home, and the two sisters did not get along for long in the capital, in her heart, Shen Rong was her own sister. Without hearing from Shen Rong, she was not only worried about her safety, but also wondered if Shen Rong had her sister in her heart. Her worries didn't last long, though, and it was late in the evening. The entire Gao family was in a stir.
"Master, madam, the second young master is back!" Uncle Steward Zhong looked excited. almost ran into the Hancui Hall where Master Gao and the Hu family were eating. Master Gao put down his rice bowl and couldn't hide his excitement, "Where is that stinky boy?" The chopsticks in Hu's hand shook and he almost took them off. Since sending Shen Rong away in Kyoto, there has been no news of Jinmin. Even in Shen Rong's letter, the whereabouts of this second brother are not clear, and the Hu family can be said to have missed this little son day and night for a period of time. It's just that she's not used to showing it in front of people. Now I hear good news. How do you call her not excited?
Looking at Jin Min, who had turned black and taller, the first thing Master Gao did was to step forward and give him a moment: "Stinky boy, my parents are here." Not far away! You've read all the books to the dog's belly. I left for more than half a year, and there was no news. Do you still have parents in your eyes? Gao Jinmin looked at his father, and there were already a few spots on his head. Standing up, Master Ren Gao punched his body, and then knelt down: "Unfilial children meet their parents!" Hu Shi helped the girl next to him to step forward. Reached out and rubbed it over his head. Fang Cai said: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back!" You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll tell you to hurry up and get dinner ready for you. Jin Min raised her head and said, "I haven't eaten yet." But Daddy, I came back this time because I had something important to do. Tomorrow morning, I will leave for Beijing immediately. Master Gao said, "What can you do?" Leaving tomorrow? Don't go anywhere! Jin Min frowned slightly and said, "Daddy doesn't know." The child came back this time because he was entrusted by King Chen and Princess Chen. One is a full moon gift for the eldest brother's little nephew, and the other is a gift for his younger sister Shen Fang. Tomorrow I will go to Kyoto for the sake of military priorities. Hearing this, Master Gao's frowning brows relaxed slightly. couldn't help but ask again: "Is Rong'er okay in the northwest?" How is King Chen doing now? Hu Shi looked at his little son who was covered with dust, and said distressedly: "The master still let the child eat first." Shall we ask him more questions? Master Gao stopped talking.
Watching his son gobble up in front of him, he looked like he had been hungry for a long time. Hu Shi couldn't help but feel distressed: "You eat slowly, be careful of choking." Jin Min said vaguely while eating: "It's still delicious food at home." The northwest side is spicy, and it's all pasta, but I'm really not used to eating it! Hu Shi said angrily: "Knowing that the food at home is good, he still ran over quietly." Do you know what worries about motherhood? While eating, Jin Min flattered the Hu family: "Mother, hasn't Daddy always taught children that men should make meritorious contributions?" Didn't I want to go to the northwest and establish a career in the army? Hu Shi Zhengse said: "Even if you want to do the right thing, you can't say goodbye to your parents like this!" Don't mess around like this next time! Jin Min gulped a bowl of soup, put down the dishes and chopsticks, sighed comfortably, and said, "Mother taught me a lesson." The child won't do that next time. The girls stepped forward to clean up the table and retreated one by one. Hu Shi then asked, "What happened to the northwest?" Is Shen Rong okay? Jin Min hesitated: "I can't tell you about the situation in the northwest now. But my sister is fine. Chen Wangfu is in charge of her alone, and there is nothing major at present. Hu Shi looked at his expression and knew that he didn't want to worry about some things that he didn't care about, so he nodded and said, "Your father should have been waiting for you in the study." Go ahead! Jin Min stood up and said, "Yes, mother doesn't have to worry too much, the child has grown up." Know what you're doing. He walked out the door. Hu Shi looked at his thin and tall back, and couldn't help sighing, unconsciously, the little boy who was holding the corner of his clothes had grown so big and began to break into the world outside, and he no longer had to shelter him from the wind and rain.
Master Gao looked at Jin Min who moved into the door, and was stunned for a moment. This kid, at a glance, actually has a bit of a taste of Xuanang. It seems that it is time to let him go out to experience the experience. "Father!" Jin Min saluted him respectfully. Master Gao sat down on the pineapple chair and said solemnly: "Say it!" Why go to the Northwest? What exactly are you doing now? Jin Min also said with a straight face: "The child is now under the command of the prince in the northwest, and he is directly under the command of the prince. At present, he is by Chen Wang's side to assist Chen Wang to pacify the northwest. This is a secret, and my father must not reveal it! Master Gao was confused for a moment, and then said with a straight face: "Does the emperor recognize your identity?" Don't tell me you're the Prince's man! Jin Min said: "The emperor knows that the prince has a group of people. However, because the current general Dingxi of Pingxi Hou is too powerful in the army, the emperor allowed the prince to put us in the shadows. At present, Northwest has received a secret report that it is Webster's and Guo's teaming up. I wanted to be unfavorable to the crown prince, so King Chen sent me back to Beijing to understand the situation and inform the prince. Master Gao was shocked: "There is such a thing? Jin Min said solemnly: "A few days ago. King Chen received news that the palm bead of Guo Shengquan, the general of Dingxi, was engaged to the second son of Wei Xiangye's third room. Guo Wei's two families have released their suspicions. Now, with the support of Wei Xiang, the Guo family has begun to meddle in military affairs again. And the Wei family's goal seems to be towards the position of the crown prince. "Although Master Gao said that he was far away from the court, as soon as Jin Min said it, he immediately thought of the powerful relationship." The emperor has always valued Wei Xiang very much. Hearing you say that, the prince is in danger? Jinmin nodded. said: "The prince was walking on thin ice before, with the queen's support behind him. Now that he has turned against the queen, the crisis is even more dangerous than before. Wei Xiang is not a good match. If you're not careful. The impeachment of the crown prince above the court will appear in due course. Old Man Gao sighed and said: "Back then, I was far away from the court, so I couldn't get used to seeing these people in the camp and service, and I was keen on fame and wealth!" Now it seems. Wei Xiang's ambition has not diminished back then! Jin Min said: "Now you can let the prince win." It's the Northwest Pingding! The emperor attaches great importance to the issue of the northwest. If we can no longer meet Xirong with swords, we can recuperate well, and the people can enjoy peace. Master Gao stroked his beard and praised: "I haven't seen you for half a year, but your knowledge has grown a lot!" Yes, a manly man should be for the country and the people. You can follow the crown prince and King Chen to do a good job. I will write to inform my old friends in Beijing, as well as your uncle, to support the crown prince. Jin Min clenched his fist happily. said: "The child thanks Daddy for the prince and the people of the northwest!" I know that Daddy will not sit idly by. "Master Gao runs the academy and is the patriarch of the Gao clan. In addition, he was already very prestigious in Shilin back then, and now he is also respected by everyone in Shilin. It is naturally a good thing to have him come forward to raise his arms for the prince. And Master Gao is not in the court, he can represent the voice of the people. This is something that King Chen and the crown prince have calculated before, but the most important thing is that Master Gao is willing to express his position. Now that Jinmin has successfully convinced his father, he is naturally very happy. But when he came back this time, there were more important things to do besides convincing his father. "The child is going to Beijing tomorrow. This time I went to be an errand in the palace of the prince, in case someone was unfavorable to the prince! Master Gao said: "Then you should take care of yourself!" Father's hope that you will be able to retire! Jinmin nodded.
Looking at the dusty second brother, Shen Fang was a little surprised, and a little distressed: "Brother, where have you been for so long?" I think about you every day. Daddy also worries about you day and night. She and Jinmin have been together in the capital for a few months, and the relationship is much closer than when they were at home. It was rare for the two to meet before, and then in the capital, although Shen Fang was much younger than Jin Min, Jin Min's diet and daily life were all cooked by Shen Fang. After half a year, it seems that Jinmin is taken care of by Shenfang. Jin Min was a little unaccustomed to it at first, but after a long time, he felt that there was nothing wrong with this, and often bought some fresh gadgets for Shen Fang, or took Shen Fang out for a walk, and the two got along well. Now that she has been reunited for a long time, looking at her little sister's delicate and disgusted appearance, Jinmin couldn't help but scratch her scalp habitually, and said with a smile: "Aren't I coming back?" Don't worry, I'm fine. Don't forget, I'm a martial artist. Besides, a manly man, when he walks the world, where can he stay at home all the time? Seeing that Shen Fang pursed her lips and smiled and didn't speak, obviously she meant that he was greedy for fun and made excuses for herself, so she couldn't help but hurriedly say: "Don't believe it!" I'm serious. I have something important to do now. I'm leaving tomorrow. At home, my father and mother will have to rely on you to accompany me more. When I do a great job in the future, I will be back soon! As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something, took out a small bag from his waist, and handed it to Shen Fang: "No, it's for you." On your birthday, I was still on the road. Make it up now! I put everything that Sister Shen Rong gave you to my mother. You remember to get it. ”
Shen Fang opened the bag curiously, and found that it was a wooden hairpin, which seemed ordinary at first glance, but after careful inspection, it was found that the hairpin was very exquisite, and the flower and leaf patterns on it were much better than the general designs on the market. I'm afraid that I won't be able to buy it if I have money. She had been interested in these design patterns, and now this hairpin is exactly what she likes. When I held it in my hand, I couldn't help but ponder. The more I pondered, the more I found that the workmanship of the pattern was exquisite and unique. couldn't help but be overjoyed and said, "Thank you, brother!" I love it! Jin Min touched her head and said embarrassedly: "It's good if you like it." I still got it by accident. It's not worth a few bucks either! Hearing him say to the end, Shen Fang was a little ridiculous. It's just that Gao Jinmin didn't know that if the owner of this hairpin knew that he would casually give the things he had cherished for more than ten years to a little girl as a gift, and said that it was not worth a few dollars, but he was afraid that the first Buddha would be born and the second Buddha would ascend to heaven. But apparently Jinmin didn't pay attention to so much. At this moment, he looked at his sister's happy smiling face, and only had one feeling that he had given the right gift.
After that, Shen Fang took a burden from Lu Zhi's hand and said to Jin Min: "These are the clothes, shoes and socks I made for my brother in my spare time." Brother take it and wear it first, I don't know if you will be too short now. When I'm free, I'll make you a little more. Jin Min took the burden, and her tentacles sank slightly. I know that I must do a lot. I was very moved. Shen Fang is not in good health, and it must have taken a lot of effort to make so many things for him. He looked at Shen Fang and deliberately blamed: "You yourself are not in good health, what are you doing with these things?" There are a lot of needlework people in the house, so next time you don't bother, be careful that your body is tired. Shen Fang heard the words, thought about it carefully, and tasted the true meaning of his words. Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Brother is the worst, he is cheap and good." I didn't say thank you for helping you do so much, but blamed me! Don't think I'll bother you next time! The two brothers and sisters quarreled like this for a moment, and they both felt a kind of warmth that had not been seen for a long time.
Kang's was also very grateful for the gifts from the children brought back by Shen Rong Tuo Jinmin. In particular, a herb that can be worn on the body to avoid mosquito bites, makes Kang's gratitude to Shen Rong for her thoughtful and delicate thoughts. Thinking of his previous prejudice and teasing against Shen Rong, Kang's secretly felt a little embarrassed. Hu Shi knew what Shen Rong did, and he was secretly relieved that this daughter, who had always been proud, had finally grown up. (To be continued......)
