Out of the main room, Situ Yan entered his own room in the east wing, and then called Li Youzhu and Cui Ping.

"It's been a hard year for the two of you, did you see a plug just now?"

The two minions who are dedicated to their masters are really happy, with a smile on their faces, tears in their eyes, and of course they are also very grateful, the eldest lady can redeem her son and turn into a good person, "Slaves thank Miss, if there is no eldest miss, the bolt is still just a slave now!" ”

"The bolt is dedicated to protecting the master, such a minion, how can I leave it alone, don't thank you, I ask you this year, how is the house?" Situ Yan doesn't like to be polite and polite like this, and she still has something to ask.

"Don't worry, the eldest lady is fine, everything is fine in the house, and the account book servants of several shops have been brought in. As for the two cousin young masters, they have been arranged by the slaves to go to the courtyard of Henan County. It's just that the two often quarrel to come back, and they have come to beg the young master a few times. However, Wu Guo was stopped back. Didn't see anyone! ”

"Let them make trouble, Zuo just wants money. Such a big person, if he wants to spend money, he won't earn it himself, and he won't panic just thinking about taking advantage of others. I don't look at this account book, but I still have it in you, I have no shortage of money here, and you will still be in charge of the things that will be laid in the future. The affairs of the inner courtyard are managed by Cui Ping, Mama Li is old, find two maids to serve, let her be honored! Send a letter to Fuxiang Village! ”

"It's the minions who understand!" After sending the two out, Situ Yan took a hot bath and ate something, but she really slept. She was really tired.

The next day, Wu Jin got up before dawn, Situ Yan accompanied him to eat some snacks and a few words, and then sent him out and entered the imperial official face.

"Brother is here, I only want to abandon Wu Congwen, and the high-ranking officials are not what you and I want!"

"Yan'er, don't worry, although I don't hate guns and sticks now, it's comparable to the Four Books and Five Classics. For the brother, I am familiar with the light and the heavy! ”

"Yan'er just stay in the house with peace of mind and wait for the good news of being a brother!"

Seeing Wu Jin away, the sky gradually brightened, and Wu Guo, who delivered a letter to Fuxiang Village, failed to come back last night. Situ Yan counted the hours, there was less than half an hour left the city gate, thinking that the four brothers of the Li family should have been waiting outside the city gate, thinking about it for almost a year and a half since they went out in June last year, they were a little nervous in their hearts.

"Mr. Lee. Go prepare the car, I'm going to the city gate! ”

"Miss, just wait in the house with peace of mind, Wu Guo'er will invite someone here!"

"I naturally know this, but after a long time, I still want to go to the city gate and wait, go and prepare!"

"Hey, the minion is going to prepare the car!"

At the beginning of the morning, the gate of the capital city of Luoyang slowly opened, and Situ Yan stood by the mule cart. From a distance, I saw Li Dalang and others waiting outside the city gate. The four of them also saw the little sister who was thinking about it through the city gate.

After paying the gate tax, the four of them drove into the city gate, and for a while, the five of them couldn't even say a word when they saw each other, and Li Dalang and the others seemed to be dreaming.

Since Wu Guo sent them a letter last night, the four of them have been excited all night, "Their little sister is finally back!" ”

"The eldest brother, the second brother, the third brother, the fourth brother, the fifth brother is back!" Situ Yan looked at the four of them and was a little excited.

"Little Five!" When the four of them heard Situ Yan's voice, where could they bear it, they rushed forward in a few steps, hugged her and cried bitterly.

More than a year of depression. After more than a year of longing, this moment turned into tears, joy and self-blame.

Situ Yan also had red eyes, and she didn't see each other. She didn't think that now that she had met, she knew that these four people had already lived in her heart. is not just a nominal brother, but from the bottom of his heart, the four of them are relatives.

"Miss, this place is too close to the city gate, if you have anything to say, let's go back to the house!" Li Youzhu thinks. Although these four people are the elder brothers of the eldest lady, they are not relatives after all, so it is really inappropriate to hug each other like this.

"Yes, my brothers must not have rested well last night, let's go back to the house first, what do you have to say, wait until you get back to the house?" Situ Yan stopped taking her own mule cart anymore, and made a donkey cart with Li Dalang and a few others, and returned to Situ Mansion.

Here is brother and sister meeting, warm and affectionate, but Wu Jin's side is arguing, so lively.

It is said that Wu Jin entered the imperial city with the holy decree to face the saint, and Duanmu Li, the Duke of Liangguo, and the Seventh Prince received a letter from Duanmu Xuantuo Moyu to the two last night.

"Oh! Mo Yu, it seems that the young master of your family has already made a move, I don't know if you can catch up with the beauty? The Seventh Prince, Mu Yi, looked at Mo Yu with a smile.

"Back to the words of the Seventh Prince, the young master's future is uncertain, Miss Situ's intelligence, I can't wait for it!"

"Hahaha, Ziheng also had a time when he was deflated, and I couldn't see it in person, what a pity?" Mu Yi's face waiting to see a good show made Mo Yu a little helpless, these seven princes and the young master are cousins, although the two grew up together since childhood and know each other best, they also love to joke the most.

"Okay, you go back and tell your uncle that I will make some arrangements here for tomorrow, so as not to disappoint Zhongxian."

"Seventh Prince Xie, his subordinates retire!" Mo Yu returned to the Guogong Mansion and relayed the words of the Seven Princes to Duanmu Li, Duke of Liangren.

"Mo Yu, you said before that this girl won the big competition with one against two, but is it true?" After listening to Mo Yu's description, Duanmu Li still couldn't believe it. After all, this thing is so bizarre.

"Master Mingjian, subordinates don't dare to have half a lie!" In front of the old master, Mo Yu didn't dare to lie, even if he concealed it.

"Ten years old, when Xuan'er is so old, it's just like that? But in terms of intelligence, I'm afraid it's not as good as half a point for this woman, a genius! Duanmu Li actually knew that Mo Yu would never dare to exaggerate in front of him.

"Master, Miss Situ is really smart, and she attaches great importance to family affection, this time Young Master Wu was able to return to Beijing, it is Miss Situ's credit!" Compared with Wu Jin, Mo Yu certainly has a better impression of Situ Yan.

"Well, these Xuan'er letters have mentioned that the old man really can't imagine that a ten-year-old girl can do miraculous feats in the northwest, and there is really no superior person around her to guide her?" Duanmu Li even thought that Situ Yan must have a great military advisor by her side, otherwise at her age, she would never have thought so thoroughly.

"The subordinates and Mo Feng have always sent people to protect each other secretly, Miss Situ and Young Master Wu have only one servant by their side, and there is no one!"

"I can't figure it out! Before you go back to the northwest this time, I want to see this girl! Duanmu Li was full of curiosity about Situ Yan and wanted to confirm it with his own eyes.

"Master, Miss Situ refuses to be thousands of miles away from high-ranking officials and nobles, and it was because of the identity of the young master. The two still have a misunderstanding! Mo Yu was taken aback by the old master's idea, if he let the young master know that the old master went to see Situ Yan behind his back, he was afraid that his good days would come to an end.

"Don't be shocked by honor and disgrace, and don't cling to the powerful. It's a rarity! Don't startle this kid, just wait! However, with this woman's temperament, I'm afraid that Xuan'er will have to go through some hardships! "Duanmu Li thinks the same as the Seventh Prince at this time, he wants to stand aside and watch the play.

"Go ahead! This thing. Yi'er and I will make decisions for this Wu Jin! ”

"Yes! Subordinates retire! Duanmu Li sat in the study, reading his son's letter carefully, and his concern for this girl was evident between the lines.

"Xuan'er's love is so deep, I don't know if it's good or bad, if the two can't get together in the end, I don't know what will happen to Xuan'er, it's fate and evil!" After all, Duanmu Li has experienced more and has a longer view, not to mention that he has injected too much effort into this son.

"I can't tell. As a father, I have to help Xuan'er! Where would Situ Yan have thought that in just one night, she would make people calculate.

In the imperial city, Emperor Wu sat on the court, the civil and military officials were lined up on both sides, and Wu Jin knelt on the main hall in armor.

"Wu team rated, in the northwest repeatedly performed miraculous feats, I am very relieved, the granary and desert grassland built to solve our northwest military needs. It is a miracle that should be rewarded, how about the meritorious work of the ministers? ”

"Reward yourself for meritorious deeds!" Emperor Wu has already said so, how can anyone be so blind and put forward opinions indiscriminately.

"Wu Jin listens to the seal!"

"Wechen didn't dare to be greedy. The emperor is sage, the ministers have affection, please let the emperor be generous? Wu Jin wanted to wait a little longer before he spoke, but if the emperor's decree was given, he just wanted to say that he couldn't disobey the decree.

"Be bold Wu Jin, the emperor wants to reward meritorious deeds. Do you want to be proud of your achievements, and you can't get another reward? ”

Wu Jin didn't know who was speaking, but Duanmu Li knew, this person was born in the queen's maiden family, and it was the prince's family, Wu Jin's credit was also Duanmu Xuan's credit, he said this, and he even counted Duanmu Xuan. couldn't help frowning and looked at Wu Jin, not knowing what he was going to do.

For such a thing, Situ Yan had already expected it, she had already discussed it with Wu Jin early this morning, so Wu Jin was not panicked at this time, "This lord, the emperor is rewarded, and his subordinates should be grateful and respectful, but Weichen thinks that this merit is the deep holy will of General Dingyuan, which can allow Weichen to get this merit, so Weichen really does not dare to be greedy." What's more, Weichen was born as a person who was born in a good place, and now he can be turned into a good person, all of which are the emperor's kindness, how dare Weichen be proud! ”

"Humph!"

"Good generals don't ask about their background, Wu Jin doesn't need to worry too much! What do you think, tell me about it? "Emperor Wu was a little curious about what Wu Jin was asking for.

"Thank you Emperor Shengming! Wechen is enlightened at the age of four, read for more than ten years, it is really difficult to give up, although the minister is now a military general, but the martial arts are not as good as the article, I am afraid it will be difficult to make an inch, Weichen implore the emperor, Rong Chen to abandon the martial arts, and then should be the imperial examination, he is deeply aware of the holy will, for the people, for the benefit of the people! Please allow the emperor! ”

Wu Jin kowtowed three times in a row to show his determination! Emperor Wu listened to it, he thought that Wu Jin wanted to be an official and a half-job, but he didn't want him to resign. Although it is said that it is for the imperial examination, it is not a blessing for the community to abandon such generals. was about to refuse, but saw the seventh prince Mu Yi stand up.

"Father, the son also has something to say!"

"The emperor has any opinions, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"Yes, back to his father, Wu Jin from the martial arts can make military merits, from the Wen Ru Wencai outstanding, he is a good minister of civil and military all-rounders, this person can not be greedy, not aggressive, he will be of great use in the future, it is not as good as his father to allow him to invite, but also for the society to accept this talent!"

"The old minister seconded the proposal!" Duanmu Li also stood up and helped Wu Jin speak.

"Even the Duke of Liang Guo sees it like this, then I will look at it, Wu Jin, you were born in the previous dynasty, can you have merit and fame?" Emperor Wu didn't expect that his son and the ministers of the humerus would intercede for Wu, and while he was curious, he also had other thoughts.

"The past has passed away with the wind, and Weichen is now a subject of the emperor, and he is willing to start from Xiucai!" Wu Jin is not stupid, if he still shows off his identity as a showman in the previous dynasty, it is not equivalent to giving others a chance to impeach.

"Okay, a good past has passed away with the wind, and the literary color is really outstanding. I grant your request. It's just that this reward is still going to be rewarded! ”

"If the emperor wants a reward, please ask the emperor to give the minister a different surname?" Wu Jin still remembered his little sister's words, he didn't want anything, so that he could appear to be high-spirited.

"Why is this, although you are burdened by your father, but your body is affected by your parents, how can you easily change this surname?" Emperor Wu was a little displeased with Wu Jin's rashness.

"Back to the emperor, the first mother of the grass people was poisoned by his father, and the first mother's family was framed, and now the family is ruined, and the incense is gone. Every time the grass people think of this, they are in pain, and the grass people once swore in front of the grave of their ancestors that they are willing to inherit the incense and continue to live for Situ Mansion! ”

"What a filial son, since your father committed many crimes, and you also have this intention, then from today onwards, I will give you your mother's surname and change your name to Situ Jin. You should be angry and serve the court as soon as possible! ”

"Yes, the grass people thank the emperor for Longen!" Situ Jin is no longer an official, and now he can only call himself a grass person.

"The son is here to congratulate my father on this talent!" The Seventh Prince also saluted on the side.

"Good! My son has a point. Situ Jin, don't you want to live up to the Seventh Prince's plea for you? ”

"Yes, Grass People Xie Seventh Prince!" Wu Jin, who changed his name to Situ Jin, also understood that the Seventh Prince was willing to help him mostly because of Duanmu Xuan.

Although there were small twists and turns, the matter was finally resolved satisfactorily. When Wu Jin walked out of the main hall, he felt that the burden of thousands of catties on his body before disappeared into invisibility in an instant. But he has regained a new responsibility. Now if he wants to give his little sister a backer, it is time for him to work hard, and he can't let his little sister suffer like this.

When Wu Jin returned to Situ Mansion, he naturally recognized the four brothers of the Li family, although they had different identities with each other, but because of the common bond of Situ Yan, they also talked happily.

"Thank you to the Li brothers for taking care of my sister in the past three years!" Wu Jin also suspected that some of the four members of the Li family were hidden, and it can be seen that although the four of them are studying, they are different from those who were born in a peasant family, but they are not enough to teach Situ Yan. What happened to the little sister in the past three years? I couldn't help but have doubts in my heart.

"Don't dare, Young Master Situ said this, my brother really didn't dare to be, if there was no Xiao Wu at the beginning, even if my brother didn't starve to death, he would not be able to escape the fate of being killed by the beard. The lives of the four of us were saved by Xiao Wu, and I don't deserve the thanks of Young Master Situ! ”

"Well, I can't listen to it anymore. There is no young master here, young lady's, the elder brother is the same year as the eldest brother, the month is one month younger, our family should be brothers and sisters, where is such a young master coming to the young master, it sounds awkward! Situ Yan listened to it for a long time, and felt that if she didn't make a sound, she would be sour to death by these people.

"Yes, Yan'er is right. Brother Li, I call you big brother, don't be so polite to me! "If it was Wu Jin in the past, he would never have had a relationship with a peasant man, but after the identity of a military household, these things were accepted naturally.

"Okay, Brother Wu, I'm just a rough person, I can get you to call me big brother, and my face is also bright!"

"Let's talk first, I'll go to the stove room and have a look, and I'm going to cook a delicious meal for my brothers today!" We had a reunion dinner together as a family! Situ Yan didn't want to stay and listen to their politeness, so it was better to find something to do.

"Good!" The five of them spoke in unison, the four brothers of the Li family were almost crazy about the food cooked by their little sister, and Situ Jin felt that it was the happiest to be able to have a reunion dinner together as a family.

After dinner, the four brothers of the Li family chatted with Situ Yan for more than an hour before resting. Situ Jin pulled his little sister in the study to discuss the next thing. After all, he no longer has an official position. (To be continued.) )
