Chapter 173: Joining the Army (4)

It's been late these days, I'm sorry everyone.

96 try to adjust the time back in these days.

================================================

Zhenqi was suddenly asked by Cao's question, but she didn't react, she stood there in a daze, and asked, "What is my mother asking for?" ”

Cao looked at his daughter, half an old person, the marriage has been decided, but in terms of doing things calmly and meticulously, not to mention her sister Zhen Lin, even Zhen Xuan, who is her sister, is better than her. It's just that the character is raised by himself, and he can't complain about others.

Cao sighed secretly, after Zhenqi married into the Fu family, the grandmother Fu was her sister-in-law, if it wasn't a good match, she would have to mention a few words to make the Cao family feel at ease.

"I didn't seem very happy that we were there." Cao tried to be as simple as possible.

Zhenqi said "oh", moved a small stool and sat down on the side, and said, "I heard what Ling Yao said, the eldest grandmother is careful and cautious, but she doesn't like the eldest grandmother. ”

When Cao Shi heard this, his heart was full of chuckles. Zhen Lin and Zhen Xuan also looked at Zhen Qi, looking like they wanted to ask but didn't know where to ask.

Zhenqi didn't let others urge her, and told everything she knew.

Uncle Fu and Grandma Fu's family affair is a marriage given by God to reward the Fu family for many years of military exploits. It's just that at that time, Mrs. Fu took a fancy to a niece of her mother's family, and when she was about to invite a matchmaker to say goodbye, the holy decree came down and gave her the daughter of the clan family. In order to achieve such a marriage, he also named the concubine a county lord.

Mrs. Fu was not happy, but who dared to disobey the holy decree, she could only put aside the matter of her mother's family. Let Uncle Fu accept the holy decree and become a parent.

Although Grandma Fu is from a clan, she has no choice but to be a sideline. If it weren't for the marriage, the emperor might not be able to think of her. is a concubine again, and she was pressed miserably by her mother-in-law when she was a child, and she couldn't let go of the little family in her behavior.

Mrs. Fu is not very satisfied, and Grandma Fu herself knows that she is doing her best to serve the family, but the more attentive she is. The more flattering and flattering she became, the Fu family had some complaints about her attitude.

Mrs. Fu also once said, how will the daughter-in-law of such a small family be in charge of the family in the future?

As a result, Grandma Fu knew and cried. I don't know where I heard that Mrs. Fu had wanted to hire her mother's daughter, thinking that it was because of this that her mother-in-law did not treat her, and her heart was seriously ill, and she became more and more stingy in doing things.

The maiden daughter later married far away, and her husband died within half a year, and her mother-in-law scolded her for being a husband and making a lot of trouble, and Mrs. Fu was so angry when she heard about it, she made the decision to let her mother take the child back. People are back. But she can no longer live at home, and when she enters the Buddha and often accompanies the green light, Mrs. Fu has to sigh every time she thinks about it, and Grandma Fu is even more uncomfortable.

came and went like this, Grandma Fu was determined to make the family like her, but she worked hard. It's just a little better.

The marriage of Fu Erye and Fu Sanye is small, and it will be a few days before they get married, and the two young ladies are not from Yongzhou, and Zhenqi can't say how long or short it is.

After hearing this, Cao shook his head helplessly, Zhen Qi didn't understand what Cao shook his head, and looked at Cao with a pair of eyes, and then looked at Zhen Lin and Zhen Xuan.

Zhen Lin understood, Zhen Xuan guessed half of it, and I don't know if Lu Dao was thinking in the right direction, because the Cao family was here, it was not good to ask Zhen Lin in detail, so she had to lower her eyes and not speak.

Seeing that Cao's face was a little worried, Mama Dai persuaded in a low voice: "Don't worry, Fifth Lady, our Fifth Miss is a blessed one." Beside the matter, isn't there still two years left, and I can't rush it. ”

Cao Shi bowed slightly, glanced at Zhenqi meaningfully, and said, "I can only ask you to be stupid." ”

"Mother......" Zhenqi pouted, a little unhappy.

Cao Shi took Zhenqi's hand and patted it, and said to Mama Dai: "Is it time to eat fast?" When we are done eating, we will go back, so as not to worry the old lady. ”

Mama Dai answered, and went out to order.

Cao Shi was a little tired, and a few maids who served her personally helped her to rest in the room for a while.

Zhen Qi poked inside, turned her head and said to Zhen Lin, "What does my mother say about me?" ”

Zhen Lin curled the corners of her lips, and her eyes were full of smiles: "You! Grandmother is really not wrong when she says that you lack heart. But ah, Mother Dai is right, you are blessed to look like this. You haven't passed the door yet, the Fu family likes you, and Grandma Fu is unhappy. ”

When Zhen Xuan heard this, she glanced at Zhen Lin, and said in her heart that she guessed the same as Zhen Lin.

Grandma Fu entered the door with a holy decree, and the Fu family would not treat her badly, nor did she dare to treat her badly, but she couldn't let go of her hands and feet, and she didn't do things well enough, so that the old lady of the Fu family and several wives had some ideas.

Grandma Fu probably thought that her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would get along like this to comfort herself, and there was no concubine at the bottom, so she didn't have a reference, so she could balance it out.

But Zhenqi used to run to the Fu family often, and at that time there was no marriage, and it was one thing for the daughters of the Fu family to like Zhenqi, but after they were married, they still treated Zhenqi kindly, and Grandma Fu's heart couldn't get by, and when she saw Zhenqi, she was extremely unhappy.

Zhenqi pursed her lips and said, "Probably not, just because they like me, she should be unhappy?" ”

Zhen Lin raised her hand and put her fingertips on Zhen Qiong's forehead: "You also said just now, Grandma Fu is not liked by the family. ”

Zhenqi responded as if she didn't understand, lowered her head and pondered.

After a cup of tea, Mama Dai came in and replied, saying that the meal was ready, and asked if Cao's would send it in now.

Waiting for Cao's to nod, Mama Dai commanded the two little maids to set up the table and serve the food.

Everything was in order, Cao's also came out, and saw that there were only four pairs of dishes and chopsticks on the round table, but there were a lot of dishes, so he said: "Add a few pairs of chopsticks, it's not as particular as at home here, you can also sit down and eat together." ”

Mama Dai was frightened, pushed twice, then stopped pushing, and pulled Jinhong to sit down, and the two big girls beside Cao Shi got off the table. There was no one left to serve, so the Cao family sent the rest of the people to eat, eat early and return early.

The meals in the temple are all big bowls, although there are only eight dishes and one soup, but only half of the dishes at home are used, and the rest are rewarded by the people below, and they all have to be eaten clean here, so a few people are still a little panicked after eating.

Cao Shi was afraid that the accumulation of food would damage his body, so he said: "The three of you just walk around this courtyard to eliminate food, don't run out of the house." ”

Zhen Lin responded and walked out of the wing room with Zhen Qi and Zhen Xuan.

After walking a few times along the promenade, I finally felt a little more comfortable.

There was a creak, and there was a sound of slow footsteps on the wooden staircase, very soft, as if it had been put on a blanket.

Zhen Xuan was defenseless and a little surprised for a while. She had noticed that although the wings were flat, there was a wooden staircase on the easternmost side, which connected to a small two-story building next to it.

The owner of the footsteps came down from that little building.

I don't know who else is resting here, it's too late to avoid at this time, so I can only take a few steps back. It doesn't matter if it's a maid, if it's an older wife, even if you don't know the identity of the other party, you should say goodbye, so it's not rude.

Zhen Lin also stood aside, Zhen Qi looked up at the corner of the stairs, only to see a pair of crescent-colored shoes appear, and then look, it was a well-proportioned woman, dressed as a maid.

The maid seemed accustomed to meeting people when she went downstairs, and her surprise only flashed across her face, and she immediately put on a smile.

Even if she was close to her, her footsteps were still very soft, as if she was only on tiptoe.

The maid stood still in front of Zhen Xuan and the others, bowed with a standard and graceful movement, bent knees just the right depth, no more and no less than a point, and then got up, turned away with a light smile.

Zhen Xuan looked at her back, followed the footsteps, did not rise and fall, and walked quite steadily.

Zhen Lin glanced at the maid a few more times, and said: "I don't know whose maid Lu Dao is, this behavior has never been seen in the palace, and the master's family is really well trained." ”

Zhen Lin was moved by feelings, and as soon as the words came out, she thought that Zhen Xuan was on the side, and she shouldn't mention the palace. Turning his head to look at Zhen Xuan's expression, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that she didn't seem to notice what she said.

Back in the wing, Zhenqi told Cao's to listen.

Cao shook his head and said with a smile: "That's how it should be." ”

After Cao's finished speaking, he passed, and did not let Mama Dai inquire whose daughter it was. This incident was regarded as a chance encounter, and no one mentioned it again.

The day of the expedition was December 19.

Cao sighed: "It's good to leave after the New Year." But this is just a sigh, and it can't come with her.

What can be brought, Cao Shi has already prepared Zhenlu.

On the evening of the 18th, I had dinner in Mrs. Ma's house, and Mrs. Ma called Zhenlu to sit down beside her, and said: "You are a measured child, and I won't tell you next to you, just the same, you must always remember your surname Pei, and you can't lose the face of our Pei family in Yongzhou." ”

Waiting for Zhenlu to nod, Mrs. Ma waved her hand: "It's all gone." Let your brothers see you off tomorrow. ”

Cao still had a belly to say to Zhenlu, and took his son and daughter back to the room.

Chapter 174 He, after arriving in the capital, he went to the northern frontier with the new soldiers from other places.

The waterway is no longer passable because of the freezing in the north, and this way has to be rushed by horses to reach the capital in January.

There are more than 100 people in the army in Yongzhou, and there are even more people who see them off, and it is inconvenient for Zhenxuan's sisters to get off the carriage, so they can only say a few words to Zhenlu through the curtain of the car.

When they all got on the horse and saw that they were about to leave, Zhenqi's nose was sore, and she lifted the curtain of the car and poked her head out, looking at Zhenlu's back in the crowd.

Zhen Lu didn't look back, but Fu Siye beside him happened to be looking at this side, and when he saw Zhen Qi coming out, he raised the corners of his lips.
