Chapter 212: Disappointment

The summer night was still hot, and Yunzhu sat on the edge of the bed, listening to her mother-in-law say that there was news of peace, and she couldn't sleep anymore.

"Mother, is he okay?"

"The message from the general's house was that they fought a battle last month, and peace disappeared after that." As she spoke, Mrs. Feng began to cry.

Yunzhu's originally excited mood sank to the bottom in an instant, is this news? It's better not to have it at all.

"What about disappearing? Where can he go? Isn't it clear whether it's dead or alive? ”

Mrs. Feng burst into tears and said tremblingly: "That's what the person who carried the letter said. ”

Yun Zhu felt a little dark in front of him, how could this be? Where would such an honest person go?

"He also said that the war in the northwest is over, and the generals will return next month. But this ...... "the biggest blow is Feng Lao Niang." She had already fainted once in the afternoon when she heard this, and now when she mentioned it to Yunzhu, her heart was even more unbearable, and she collapsed to the ground all of a sudden. Yunzhu hurriedly went to help her.

The disappearance of Ping An was not a small blow to the family, and the clouds were gloomy for many days, and they were not interested in doing anything. Although he was guarding in the store, he was either sitting in a daze, or hiding in a place where no one was crying quietly.

Master Jiang had just finished frying a pot of dishes, and was about to come out to smoke a pot of cigarettes, but as soon as he walked to the back eaves, he saw Yunzhu squatting there, his head buried in his knees, and his shoulders swaying slightly.

Women, he thought, are really troublesome.

"Hey, shopkeeper. What are you doing squatting here? ”

Yunzhu was so focused on her own business that she didn't notice anyone behind her at all.

Yunzhu hurriedly wiped her tears and stood up, because she had been squatting for a long time. There was some numbness in my legs, and it took a while to recover.

"Are you looking for me up ahead?"

Master Jiang waved his hand and said, "No, not for the time being." ”

"Oh." Yunzhu still wanted to stay alone for a little longer, and she saw Master Jiang calmly take out his pipe and prepare to fill tobacco leaves.

"Has the shopkeeper been troubled lately?"

"How can you not be troubled, Ping'an's whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are unknown." Yun Zhu said and couldn't help but shed tears again.

Master Jiang also grew up watching Ping'an. Hearing about his encounter, he couldn't help but sigh and take a long puff of cigarette. Patting Yunzhu on the shoulder, he said, "Don't worry, he has a good name." Sooner or later, they will all return safely! ”

Yun Zhu turned his back to wipe his tears, and forcibly held back his sourness and said, "Thank you, Master Jiang!" ”

The seventh day of the seventh month. General Zhao Chuan's squad returned to Beijing. It was another month before I returned to this side of the city. Reunite with your family. August 18 is Konishi's first birthday.

Mrs. Shangguan sent a lot of congratulatory gifts to congratulate Konishi.

The next day, Yunzhu took Konishi to the General's Mansion to thank him.

Mrs. Shangguan was very sympathetic to Yunzhu's plight, and said words of comfort to her for a long time: "You don't have to be too sad, maybe he will come back himself in a few days." The general left people there to search for his whereabouts. There will definitely be news. Besides, it's not a bad thing to have no trace of him, it's better than ......" Mrs. Shangguan wanted to say that it was better than finding the corpse, but she didn't dare to say it.

Yunzhu said: "Ping An He promised me that I would come back well, and he will not break his promise." He has never broken his word. ”

Mrs. Shangguan saw that Xiaoxi looked cute, and couldn't help but hug him and kiss his face.

"Your husband doesn't know Konishi yet, does he?"

"How does he know?"

"Hey. The world is unpredictable. If the general hadn't let him go, your family would have been in harmony. This will not be the case. It's all bad for generals. However, I heard from the general that your husband is very brave on the battlefield, and his archery skills are good, and he has made many feats in battle. After hearing about it, the emperor also said that he would give a reward, but now that his whereabouts are unknown, it is not easy to give a reward. ”

Yunzhu said secretly, are you afraid that you will fall into the enemy army and become a traitor? But such a man with a sense of justice would never betray his country.

"Madam, Mr. Liao is here. He heard that the Feng family lady was here and wanted to meet the Feng family lady. ”

Mrs. Shangguan said, "Okay, please ask him to come over here." ”

Yunzhu was even more uneasy in her heart, the reason why Ping An wanted to leave in the first place was to repay the kindness of this surnamed Liao. Now what news will this surnamed Liao bring her?

Mrs. Shangguan was still comforting Yunzhu: "Mr. Liao is a very easy-going person, so don't feel scared or anything." ”

"Ah, I didn't care about that."

Not long after, Liao Yan came over under the guidance of the maid. He respectfully greeted Mrs. Shangguan, and bowed to Yunzhu again. Yunzhu hurriedly got up and returned the salute.

Liao Yan saw the little boy in front of Yunzhu, and said, "This is the son of Ping'an, right?" ”

Yunzhu was very surprised, and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Liao saw Xiaoxi for the first time, why did he recognize it immediately?" ”

Liao Yan said with a smile: "Because someone told me all these situations." Peace he also knew that he had a son. ”

Yun Zhu thought, could it be the general's wife who said it? She glanced at Mrs. Shangguan, but Mrs. Shangguan was at a loss, and it didn't seem to be her.

"The eyebrows and eyes look a little similar to Ping'an, and he will definitely be a man who stands up to the sky in the future."

Yunzhu said eagerly: "I don't want him to be a person who stands up to the sky, I just want him to be smooth and painless." "She didn't want to lose it again. Yunzhu subconsciously hugged her son tightly in her arms.

Although Xiaoxi was young, he seemed to feel his mother's unusual emotions, and looked back at her a few times.

Liao Yan's face was solemn, and he lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, I couldn't bring him back." But don't worry, I've sent men and horses to search for his whereabouts, and I'll bring him back alive or dead. Doctor Yuan was also there to help find him, so it didn't matter if he was seriously injured, he would definitely be brought back. ”

"Dr. Yuan turned out to go to the northwest. No wonder Mr. Liao knew about Konishi. She was slightly surprised. But with Yuan Muhua over there, as long as Ping An lives, he should be fine.

"Yes, Dr. Yuan told us a lot about your family affairs. He has always been very apologetic. It made you suffer so much. ”

Yun Zhu thought, these hardships are nothing, as long as he comes back.

"I've never looked at it. Ping An is really a person, and he has made a lot of achievements. I've helped a lot, and I've been working hard. When he returned to Beijing, the emperor said that he would reward those who had meritorious deeds, and that he would seal thousands of households. It's just that he doesn't know where he is now, and the emperor is also very troubled. ”

Yunzhu was silent, and there was only one thought in his heart. Peace, come back!

Liao Yan told Yunzhu some things about the northwest and his daily living conditions. Seasonal climate change, marching training, and much more. Yunzhu listened with relish.

"In such a bitter and cold place, there have been many sins. The soldiers are like that, so don't blame him. ”

"How could I blame him. He wanted to get out. I didn't stand in my way, it was the path he chose. I can't be in his way. Yunzhu said earnestly.

"If there is any difficulty in the future, just ask, whether it is the general or me, I will do my best to help your family."

Liao Yan did what he said and really provided Yunzhu with a lot of help. knew that she returned to a restaurant, and took people to the party several times. But Yunzhu was resistant to this person and never got close. may subconsciously blame Liao Yan's appearance for taking away peace.

The days went by. The Feng family gradually lost confidence while waiting, and they looked forward to returning safely and immediately. I was afraid to hear any news from the General's Palace. Conflicted and tormented.

Autumn has arrived, and I heard that it should be snowing at a time like this in the northwest. The road was closed after a few snowfalls, is there any hope for peace?

On the first day of the winter month, someone from the He family came.

Yunzhu hasn't been to the shop for two days because Xiaoxi is sick, and is accompanying her son at home.

The person who came was Mama Su, and told Yunzhu a piece of news: "The old lady is sick and wants to see the young lady." ”

Yunzhu didn't want to meddle in the affairs of the He family, so he didn't care much about this matter, and only asked Tian Tian: "Are you willing to go back?" ”

Tian Tian thought about it, and was afraid that if he couldn't say it, the He family would come to his mother's trouble again. Mother has worked too much recently because of her uncle's affairs. Tian Tian thought about it for a while, and then agreed to Mama Su.

"Okay, I'll go over with you." Tian Tian said to Yunzhu again: "Mother, I will be back soon." ”

Mama Su picked up Tian Tian.

Tian Tian sat in the car, although he had a hand stove given by his mother when he was leaving, he still felt cold.

"Grandma, is she really sick?"

Mama Su said unhappily: "What does Miss mean by this, will the old lady still pretend to be sick to ask Miss to go back?" ”

Tian Tian's expression was slightly confused, and he didn't know what to say.

"The old lady has been sick for three days, and she said she wanted to see you. Miss, don't take it too seriously, you've heard of it. The old lady will soon have a grandson. As long as the little master is born, there will still be you in the eyes of the old lady? ”

Tian Tian was speechless.

Only then did Mama Su realize that she had spoken a little heavier, and quickly distinguished: "You can't talk back in front of the old lady, it hurts the old man's heart." That's your real grandmother, after all. "Speaking of which, Mama Su was a little angry, when she was at the Feng family just now, she saw that Tian Tian and the old woman of the Feng family were talking and laughing, but she ignored her own grandmother. If she had such a granddaughter, she would have to slap her ears twice.

Tian Tian followed Mama Su back to He's house.

Mrs. Xie took the medicine and lay down, and He Zhiliang stayed in front of her.

"Where are you coming back?" This is the first thing He Zhiliang said to his daughter this year.

Tian Tian looked at He Zhiliang's eyes were still a little timid, not at all like the relationship between father and daughter.

He Zhiliang stood guard in front of him for a while and then went out.

Yazhu whispered to Tian Tian: "The old lady is still talking about Miss in the morning, it's great that Miss can come back." ”

Tian Tian asked, "What is Grandma's disease?" ”

Yazhu said: "It's angina, I heard the doctor say that it's a bit powerful, so Miss definitely don't make the old lady angry." The doctor said that the old lady should recuperate well now. Even the third master decided to move back in. ”

Tian Tian listened quietly, Old Madam Xie's illness didn't seem to touch Tian Tian's heart, she still cared more about Uncle Feng, who was living and dying outside.

The He family knew that Tian Tian was indifferent and didn't say much, so he didn't delve into it.

"You're about to have a brother, are you happy?"

Tian Tian said indifferently: "I already have a younger brother. ”

He Zhiliang knew that Tian Tian was talking about the child that Yunzhu gave birth to now, and said with disgust: "Can that be the same?" People's surname is Feng, what is your surname? ”

"It's not a mother's birth, why should I recognize this younger brother." Tian Tian is stubborn, and no one can do anything.

Although He Zhiliang was also full of anger, the joy of having a son soon diluted this anger.

Tian Tian of the He family knows something, and after Guo's death, He Zhiliang can't continue the strings immediately. The woman who is pregnant with the so-called younger brother is either the maid in this house or He Zhiliang's outer room. Tian Tian understood.

"I also heard that the one surnamed Feng died outside. Not even the body was found. Haha, it's really an eye-opener, the wicked have their own evil retribution! ”

Tian Tian said angrily: "Who said that Uncle Feng is dead, Uncle Feng is still alive!" ”

"Ah, I'm so angry with an irrelevant person, I'm your own father. I see, even if I die, you may not be able to shed a few tears. You are just like your mother, you are born cold and inhumane. It's all bad embryos. ”

He Zhiliang's insult made Tian Tian angry and afraid, and she turned her head and ran. It's no different from seeing a demon.

He Zhiliang saw that his daughter always refused to be close to him, but he was very unhappy with some people with foreign surnames. Although Zhou currently has a child in his belly, several doctors have taken the pulse and said that it is a son. He was really happy for a while. I want to officially marry the Zhou family in some time.

However, in addition to the pressure of the Guo family, there is also the disapproval of Mrs. Xie and the disdain of Zhou's background.

Both sides put pressure on He Zhiliang, which made He Zhiliang very annoyed.

Mrs. Xie once said: "I want to let the singer surnamed Zhou enter the door, no way!" If she wants to give birth to a son, let her give birth, and when she is born, you will bring it back to me and send it to Guo's name. They are not allowed to see each other, so as not to bring the grandson of our He family. In the future, I will find you an innocent, gentle and virtuous woman to be the main room! ”

Over there, the Zhou family took the child in the womb and threatened He Zhiliang: "If you don't straighten me out, I will die twice." But He Zhiliang was scared a lot, and he quickly made another promise. Sandwiched in the middle, he had a day of peace. You deserve it!

When Mrs. Xie woke up, she saw Tian Tian sitting in the chair below. She was still relieved, and opened her mouth to call: "Tian Tian, come here!" ”

Tian Tian reluctantly moved over.

Old Madam Xie stretched out a pair of hands like withered branches, pulled Tian Tian and looked at it for a while before she smiled and said, "My granddaughter is still Peugeot." In the future, I will definitely give you a good rich family. ”

Tian Tian was extremely awkward, and he couldn't like this old woman in his heart. (To be continued......)
