Chapter 116
Lin Xi didn't care about all kinds of speculations about himself in Beijing, after he returned to Beijing, in addition to punishing the two gods and copying the He family by order, he has been staying at home and living in a simple place, and others have posted to see him and do not reply, and his name as a lonely minister has become more and more popular. He didn't even visit Jiang's mansion, he only sent a generous gift to the Jiang family's big house, of course, even if he went to Jiang's mansion, Jiang Rin would not receive him, he was no longer the son of Lin Duhu back then, but Lin Duhu, who held a heavy army.
On this day, he was shooting arrows at home, and Xingwen sent a letter of worship, "General, Sang Saburo Jun asks to see." β
"Sansan?" Lin Xi thought of this follower from childhood to adulthood, and bowed slightly: "Let him come in." β
Sang San silently followed the Lin family's guards into Lin Xi's study, unlike Lin Jing, who couldn't read a few big characters, Lin Xi was taught by Jiang Rin since he was a child, and many times he was more like a Confucian general. His study was stacked with a lot of books, Lin Xi was sitting on top of him flipping through the military books, and a servant was cooking tea below. Years of military camp experience have completely washed away all the childishness on Lin Xi's body, and now he is like a sharp weapon hidden deep in the scabbard, usually inconspicuous, but once it is unsheathed, it will inevitably set off a bloody storm, even if he sits so quietly to give people a feeling of not being angry but powerful.
"OldβLin Duhu." Sang San shouted uncomfortably.
"Sit down." Lin Xi motioned for Sang San to sit down, looking at this playmate who had been following him as a child, different from being thin when he was young, Sang San's head was much taller, the officialdom experience in the past few years has made his temperament much calmer, and he can be regarded as his only relatively close friend except for Ah Shi, seeing that he is doing well, Lin Xi has a faint smile on his face, "Why are you free today?" β
"I'm here to see Lin Duhu." Sang Sandao.
"You and I are almost the same age, Shuwen can just call me the word." Lin Xi said.
"Yuan-Yuanzhao, I have already played and begged the sage to let me go to Anxi." Sang San stammered Lin Xi's words.
"Why?" Lin Xi raised his eyebrows and looked at Sang San, "You are a civil official, and you don't have much future in Anxi." β
"The border has been initially decided, and there will be no more war for the time being, and I can also educate the people at the border pass and let the people live and work in peace and contentment." Sang San said.
"Do you know that the border is clear?" Lin Xidao.
"Didn't Yuan Zhao and the soldiers of the border pass also survive?" Sang San said.
"It's very good that you have this heart, I will mention this matter with the saint, and try to let you be near my capital to protect the mansion."
Lin Xi's words made Sang San overjoyed, "Thank you Yuan Zhao!" β
"If Shuwen wants to bring his family, you can go to Xingwen and ask him to arrange it for you." Lin Xi reminded him.
"I'm not married yet." Sang San said.
Lin Xi glanced at Sang San in a little surprise, but he didn't ask anything, after all, this was his private matter.
Lin Xi is currently the hottest military attachΓ©, Sang San is a civil official, it is inconvenient for him to stay in the capital for a long time, so he will leave after achieving his goal, Lin Xi did not keep him, only ordered Xingwen to send him out.
When Father Sang heard that Sang San was going to Anxi, he jumped up in surprise and said, "What! You're going to such a dangerous place! β
"Aye Ansi is not dangerous, the Turks have all been beaten away." Sansan said to his father.
"How many times have the Turks been beaten away! Will come back every time! No way! You don't think you can go! Father Sang resolutely objected, he was such a precious son, it was so easy for him to come out, how could he watch him go to such a dangerous place, "And you kid don't hold a book all day long, people are stupid, you see how old you are, the dog next door is the same age as you, the children are all old, you still refuse to marry me, do you want to watch Lao Tzu die!" β
Sang San was helpless: "Aya, brother and brother have already married and had children, you will not be dead." β
"They are them, you are you!" Father Sang's eyes widened, "I'll tell youβ"
"I've already given the saint a recital." Sansan interrupted his father's words.
"What!" Sang's father's face changed greatly, he was a businessman who didn't understand the affairs of the court, but he also knew that he couldn't easily repent, if the saint made him this request, it was useless for him to regret it, "Why did I give birth to such an unfilial son of you!" Father Sang sat on the ground and cried loudly, "You're just going to dig out my heart-"
The corners of Sang San's forehead jumped straight, "Ayah-"
"Cry what cry! Howl and mourn! The roar of the lion in Hedong came, and a middle-aged woman came out angrily waving a kitchen knife, "Our son is going to do a big thing, are you touching his moldy head?" β
Father Sang's crying stopped abruptly, wiped a handful of tears that were not at all, and got up with a bone, "San Lang is going to Anxi!" So dangerousβ"
"San Lang, you're going to Anxi?" Sang Mu was taken aback and asked.
"Yes." Sansan nodded.
"Did you go to your former classmate Lin Duhu?" Sang Mu asked.
"Yes, I will try to choose the county near his capital protection mansion." Sang San said.
"That's good." Sang Mu nodded, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You can go with confidence, you don't have to worry about it at home." "Sang Mu has also heard a lot of the court's resettlement of Anxi in the past few days, the court is encouraging the homeless to go to Anxi's house, she doesn't understand political affairs, but she knows how to do business, she feels that there is a big opportunity here, if her son grasps it, with his identity as a classmate of the saint, he will not be able to soar to heaven in the future? The saint is young, and it is the time when there is a shortage of manpower, and Anxi is his great merit, and the saint will definitely not treat those who go to Anxi badly. As for the danger, where is there no danger? They are also in danger when they are merchants, the Turks are all gone, can Lin Duhu still watch him in danger?
Father Sang saw that the mother and son agreed to go to such a dangerous place so happily, and turned around sadly and decided to go to his account room to cry well, their mother and son had never heard of him!
"San Lang, you're going to Anxi, shouldn't you think about your family affairs?" Sang's mother also thought about her son's marriage, and her son was not young.
"A-Niang, wait for me to come back from Anxi." Sang San is not concerned about marriage.
Sang's mother thought that their family background was not good, and her son's official position was not up or down, anyway, he was young now, and it was not too late to wait until he became thirty years old. β
"Queen, what do you think of this fabric? You can make a close-fitting coat for the little prince. "Shiso has never left his hand since Jiang Wei's diagnosis, and he is diligently thinking about making clothes for the unborn little prince every day.
"The child doesn't know if it's a man or a woman." Jiang Wei looked at her belly that didn't fluctuate and said, she didn't care if she was a man or a woman, she didn't like it if she was her own child.
"It must be the little prince." Zi Su swore and said, "This child is so tossed as soon as he is pregnant, he must be Xiao Langjun." "Only the crown prince can make the queen's throne more stable.
Jiang Wei didn't speak, even if there is still a patriarchal view in modern times, let alone the ancient times when the heirs were the greatest, Jiang Wei got up and walked towards Zhao Heng's study.
The palace attendants hurriedly followed, and Taiyi Ling and Shen Taifu both said that suitable exercise would be conducive to the queen's future production, so Zhao Heng did not restrict Jiang Wei's travel, but it was limited to a walk in Jianzhang Palace, and it would not work farther.
In the study, Zhao Heng was reviewing the folds, but he heard a very slight sound of bead curtains ringing, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes did not leave the folds, "Are you bored?" β
A pair of small hands reached over and wrapped around his waist, and a soft body leaned against him behind him, "Brother." β
"Huh?"
"If my baby is a princess, I will canonize her as the eldest princess, brother, okay?" Jiang said slightly sullenly.
"Ten thousand years?" Zhao Heng was stunned, no wonder he was surprised, Wannian County is the closest Jing County to Chang'an, and no princess would take this kind of Jing County as a title.
"You don't want to?" Jiang asked slightly sullenly.
"If you like it." Zhao Heng hugged her, "What's wrong?" Not happy? β
"Nope." Jiang Wei lay in his arms, "Brother, will you be disappointed if I give birth to a daughter?" β
"No, it won't."
"Really?" Jiang straightened up slightly and looked at him.
"Really." Zhao Heng looked straight at her, "Who chewed the root of your tongue in front of you?" I like you to give birth to boys and girls. β
"What if I had only one daughter?" Jiang Wei bit his lower lip and asked.
"Then make yourself the crown princess." Zhao Heng said lightly.
"Huh?" Jiang Wei never thought that Zhao Heng would say this.
"Whether it's a man or a woman, he's our child." Zhao Heng touched her hair, "If we only have such a daughter, then she is the imperial princess." β
"Really? You're not afraid of the minister's opposition? Jiang Wei asked happily, the princess? It doesn't seem to be bad, either! She must give birth to a domineering, cold and noble eldest princess!
"I'll keep them from objecting." Zhao Heng said with a smile that he had to destroy the scourge of the An clan before, and he was not even ready to let go of the He family, but the courtiers did not agree, and he waited for three years to arrive.
Jiang Wei was relieved now, as long as Brother Ah didn't favor sons over daughters, she threw herself into Zhao Heng's arms, "Brother, you are so good." β
Zhao Heng twisted her nose, "I said don't think nonsense, as long as you give birth to me, I like it." β
"I'm not cranky." Jiang muttered slightly, "I'm just a little worried." β
"Everything is with me, what is there to worry about." Zhao Heng picked up a book of folds and read it with her, which happened to be Sang San's folds.
"Huh? Sang San is going to Anxi to be the county commander? Jiang said in surprise.
"He's smart." Zhao Heng was dumbfounded, knowing that he was ready to move Anxi, and took the initiative to ask for help.
"Brother, I want to see Ah Xi, can you help me summon him into the palace?" Jiang shook his hand slightly.
"What do you want to see him do?" Zhao Heng asked with an unhappy smile.
"Ah Xi is looking for a husband, you see that Sang San took the initiative to go to Anxi so much, it must be interesting to Ah Xi, I want to match them! I think Sang San is dignified and decent. Jiang Wei said with a big brain, I was so moved, I actually chased my husband for thousands of miles! Uh, no, it's supposed to be a wife...... It is said that Ah Xi and Sang San are in love physically, but what about spiritually? Sansan should be receiving, right? Is these two people a romance or a pure love?
Zhao Heng: "......"
"I'm pregnant, if Ah Xi doesn't have any more children, how can the two children be friends in the future." Jiang Wei has thought about it, if they are all daughters, they are good girlfriends, male babies are good buddies, and it would be better if there was a man and a woman, so she would not have to bother finding a son-in-law/daughter-in-law. Their identity is destined not to fall in love freely, and neither she nor her brother are free to love and marry, so let the child cultivate feelings from an early age.
"Do you still want Lin Xi to have a baby?" Zhao Heng asked incredulously, thinking that Lin Xi might be pregnant and give birth, Zhao Heng felt that something was wrong with the whole person!
"Why can't you have children? Ah Xi is almost twenty years old. Jiang Wei looked at him with a look of Zhao Heng's fuss, "There shouldn't be any big battles in the past few years, it is the best time for Ah Xi to become his own son, and Ah Xi's fake lady should really get married and marry, how bad it is to delay people's youth." β
Zhao Heng looked at the fat girl with a serious face, and was silent for a moment and ordered Shi Wenjing to call Lin Xi, this kind of thing is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, and he was also very curious about Lin Xi's expression when he heard that he wanted to get pregnant and give birth to a child.
Lin Xi originally thought that Zhao Heng had something to do with recruiting him into the palace, but as soon as he entered the study and saw Ah Zhi's excited little face, his heart jumped, and a long-lost sense of crisis emerged, and his body subconsciously tensed.
Zhao Heng's face was not very good, he glared at him, brushed his sleeves and left angrily, it was Jiang Wei who insisted on driving him away, saying that he wanted to say something about a woman's private affairs, he didn't agree to this girl's eyes were red, there was a lot of momentum that I would cry to show you, Zhao Heng could only reluctantly give them a stick of incense.
When Lin Xi saw Zhao Heng leaving, the ominous premonition in his heart became even stronger, and he felt that Ah Zhi was about to speak amazingly again.
"Ah Xi, have you ever thought about getting married?" Jiang asked slightly.
"I'm married." Lin Xi didn't expect Ah Zhi to ask this kind of question, and he couldn't catch up with Ah Shi's rhythm, so he replied in a daze.
"But that's a woman, and you don't like her, I mean you married a man." Jiang Wei said.
"Marry a man?" Lin Xi looked at her incredulously, what was Ah Zhi talking about?
Jiang Wei saw his almost frightened look, and repented of herself, she actually scared the murderous Lin Duhu, she asked hesitantly: "Ah Xi, you don't hate men, do you?" Jiang Wei hopes that Ah Xi will have a happy family, a husband and children, but this is all on the basis of Ah Xi's willingness, and she doesn't want to force him.
Lin Xi: "......"
"Of course, it's okay if you like women, I just hope that you can have someone by your side who can accompany you." Jiang Wei tried hard to express her meaning, Ah Xi is the best friend in her life, she doesn't like her friend to be lonely for a lifetime under the banner of a man, which is unfair to Ah Xi. Although she has always hoped that Ah Xi will marry her husband, if Ah Xi really likes women, she will not object, she hopes that Ah Xi can be happy.
"You don't have to worry about your identity, when the opportunity is right, we will restore your true identity openly and be the first female general in history, I also want you to be my child's wife, just like Qin Liangyu!"
"Who is Qin Liangyu?" Lin Xi asked.
"She is a strange woman, a woman who was recorded by the historian as a woman." Jiang Wei said.
Lin Xi's gaze swept over her flat stomach and asked, "If I give birth to a child, will we get married in the future?" "This girl can't have the idea of giving birth to a child because she is pregnant, right? Lin Xi didn't have much interest in who Qin Liangyu was, and the horizontal and vertical was a matter of Ah Zhi's previous life.
"Okay!" Jiang Wei's eyes lit up, "Ah Xi gave birth to a handsome little Langjun, and I gave birth to a beautiful little princess!" β
Lin Xi looked at her expectant look and his heart moved slightly, he didn't care about the heir, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with the Lin family's bloodline being cut off like this, but it would be good if his child could marry Ah Zhi, but in this case, the child's father couldn't choose at will, he quietly tested Jiang Wei: "Have you thought about who I want to marry?" β
Jiang blinked slightly and looked at Lin Xi, how did Ah Xi know that he had thought about Sang San?
Lin Xi looked at her confused expression: "Didn't you always say that I should marry my husband?" "This girl is a queen, and she is so stupid.
"Ah Xi, did you agree?" Jiang Wei asked in surprise, "What do you think of Sang San?" β
"Sansan?" Lin Xi raised his eyebrows, this person didn't marry a wife, he was born in a poor family like him, and there was nothing to dislike, but their status with Ah Zhi's child seemed to be lower, and it seemed that he still needed to accumulate more military merits.
"Ah Xi, you don't like him?" Jiang Wei saw that Lin Xi didn't speak when he heard this candidate.
"Nothing, he's not bad." Lin Xi came back to his senses and said lightly.
"Then you agreed!" Jiang Wei asked happily, great! Now it's up to Sang San's wishes, Sang San has admired Ah Xi so much since he was a child, he should be willing, right? If you don't want to-Jiang Wei is a little entangled, do you want to quit Li Shijiu and Liu Hu? No way! Li Shijiu is too a stallion and is not worthy of Ah Xi, she wants to find another good man with an innocent family background.
The sound of heavy footsteps came from Zhao Heng, which was a deliberate voice from Zhao Heng, reminding Jiang Wei that the time was up.
Jiang Wei happily threw herself into Zhao Heng's arms, "Brother! Ah Xi agreed, and when Ah Xi really got married, you had to give him marriage and maternity leave! β
Lin Xi heard that the marriage was okay, but when he heard the expression of maternity leave, he couldn't hold it anymore.
Zhao Heng looked at Lin Xi's broken expression in a happy mood: "Don't worry, I will definitely give him these holidays." β
Lin Xi looked back at him coldly.
"Ah Xi, Sang San, you-" Jiang Wei thought about how to tell Sang San.
"I'll take care of it." Lin Xidao.
Jiang Wei said: "Ah Xi, I'm just a proposal, if you don't like it, or Sang San doesn't like it, don't force it, I just hope you can be happy, not for anything else." β
"Don't worry, I know." Lin Xi smiled lightly at her, "I won't force him." β
Jiang Wei: Why does the sentence "......" sound a little wrong?
Lin Xi came back from the front line early to report the good news, and Jiang Jing in the rear also began to escort prisoners of war into Beijing, led by several prisoners of war are the Khans of the Turkic Khanate, and at the same time there are Turkic clan disciples, Pei Er, Liu Hu, and Tubo King Sun Langri entered Beijing with Jiang Jing, these people are all people who have made great contributions in this battle, especially Pei Er and Lang Ri, Pei Er not only successfully cooperated with Jiang Jing and Lin Xi to blow up the Turkic granary, but also captured the Datou Khan who was about to flee in Weifu, this luck is simply against the sky. Lang Ri was a prisoner of war at first, and immediately surrendered after seeing Lin Xi's force, and cooperated with Lin Xi to capture the Great Khan of the Turkic Khanate.
And the biggest benefit in this war is undoubtedly the Jiang Mansion, Jiang Jing has made great contributions in Anbei, Jiang Lu has made meritorious contributions in Annan, and the queen is pregnant again, the Jiang family is in the limelight for a while, and even the servants of the Jiang family are much more energetic than others when they come out, fortunately, the Jiang family is not a family that has not experienced wealth and nobility, and has its own set of imperial means, and attaches great importance to the education of the heirs of the family. Now the imperial historians have rolled up their sleeves and stared at the Jiang family's mistakes. It's just that compared to the real happiness of the Guogong Mansion, the happiness of the Duhu Mansion is a big discount.
Mrs. Wang has not closed her mouth since her granddaughter became pregnant, and she has been much kinder to the second room that came to visit, and Jiang Yuanyi took the Lu family and a few concubines to take refuge in Beizhuang, and the others did not leave. Xiao Cui's carefully prepared a lot of auspicious items, personally inspected these items like his nursing mother, and sealed the boxes and sent them to the Guogong Mansion after making sure that they were all right.
"Lady take a sip of tea and rest for a while." Xiao Cui's roommate handed her a cup of tea, "Let's take a look at the rest." β
Xiao Cui's was a little tired after being busy for most of the day, and nodded to the two of them: "You guys should be careful, and there must be no situation." "The breadth of the witch case made everyone tremble, even if they were mentally prepared.
The two said yes again and again, how could they not be careful? To be like the He family is to get bad luck, "This He family should not have accepted Princess Hengshan's gift in the first place, and now it's too late to regret it." β
"Lack of greed." Xiao Cui's family does not have the slightest sympathy for the He family, they curse the pregnant queen, if the queen has any three long and two short blows to the Jiang family, the casualties of the Xifu are much greater, and the consequences caused by witch Gu are sometimes even more serious than rebellion, the He family knows that there is a problem with Hengshan and still greeds for her money, "Their family has enough scenery for so many years." β
Zhao Heng is quite generous to his mother's family, he constantly rewards every year during his reign, the He family still has titles and fields, if the heart is not so big, their life is comfortable, but they want to put the genealogy of the family in everything, and they boast of being the first family of foreign relatives, they really think they are the Jiang family? Why don't they look at how many lives the Jiang family has filled in for this eminence, they can't even compare to the An family, and the An family still has a few smart people.
"It's really a man who dies for money, and a bird dies for food." The nurse only sighed, she has seen too many destroyed families over the years, and there are even worse than the He family.
Xiao Cui took a few sips of tea, sorted out the gifts for the queen, and was about to go to his aunt when he heard the maid say, "Lang Jun is back." β
"Husband?" Xiao Cuishi looked at Jiang Da in surprise, "Why are you back?" "Since Zhao Heng cut redundant officials, Jiang Da has not been out of office, he has no intention of officialdom, and after being robbed of his official position, he is also different from a few brothers who want to return to officialdom again, and he has devoted himself to Jiang's family school, and has become the enlightenment of the children in the clan study. His talent may not be enough, but he has a solid foundation and patience, and even Jiang Rin praised him for a few years, and let him be in charge of the enlightenment of Jiang's school. Jiang Da got the encouragement of the uncle, and he devoted himself to it, vowing to make a career.
The second room has a knighthood, and the family background is also rich, and Xiao Cui's family will not force him to enter the officialdom when he sees that his husband likes to teach. They have more than enough to live now, and Xiao Cui's would rather have his husband be mediocre for a lifetime, rather than have the same ups and downs as Dafang and Duhufu. What about Zai Xuanhe? The people are gone, especially the two daughters-in-law in the Duhu Mansion, the eldest daughter-in-law Du is fine, and the eldest son can marry a wife and have children in a few more years, which can be regarded as a hope. The second daughter-in-law's child is so young, and she has just turned eighteen, so it is too hard for her to keep it for a lifetime, what should the child do if she doesn't keep it? What a sin.
"Ah Weng asked me to pick up my mother and Ah Yi back." Jiang Da said.
"It's time to get it back, they've been out long enough." Xiao Cui said, "Guo Jialangzi should also come back, right?" β
"I guess so." Jiang Da was also unsure of the specific time when Guo Liu would return.
"If only I could catch my mother's birthday." Xiao Cui said that Guo is the same year as Mrs. Wang, and they are both seventy this year.
"There are still many days left on the eldest mother's birthday, and I will definitely be able to catch up." Jiang Da couldn't help but smile when he thought that his grandmother was also seventy, "Now our life is getting better and better." β
"yes." Although the Jiang family was also a descendant when Zhao Min was in power, the status of the Jiang family at that time was completely different from the status of the Jiang family now, and it would be better if the queen could give birth to the prince this time. Xiao Cui reminded Jiang Dadao: "You go to pick up your mother first, remember to be careful on the road, there are still many children." β
"I will." Jiang Da was full of joy when he watched his wife tidy up his salute, "When my mother comes back-" He paused and said resolutely: "Don't worry, I won't let Xiaoba leave us." β
Xiao Cui's smiled and straightened his clothes, "Mother has also raised children, and I don't have anything to worry about letting her raise Xiaoba, but Xiaoba is our youngest son, and he has been spoiled since he was a child, and I am afraid that he will toss his mother too much." "Xiao Ba is the youngest son of Jiang Da and Xiao Cui, the eighth cousin, just turned three years old this year, Lu likes this little grandson very much, and has always wanted to raise him by his side, but how can Xiao Cui give up his own son?
Jiang Da nodded, "If my mother really feels desolate under my knees, let Xiaoliu accompany my mother." "Xiaoliu is a concubine, this time the Lu family and Jiang Yuanyi left, and Jiang Yi asked them to bring a few concubines over.
"Okay." Xiao Cui's smile narrowed after sending her husband away, "Mother and Qi Niang's room can be cleaned up." β
"It's all cleaned." The servant woman said, "The seventh lady is also a married daughter who has been living in her mother's house." β
The nurse said happily: "Since Lang Jun said that Hachiro was raised by the lady herself, the lady can rest assured." β
"Reassured? She is all of me, whether I am dead or alive is not a matter of her words. Xiao Cui's sneered, "It is natural for grandmother to raise her grandson, if we really oppose it, her unfilial piety is enough for me and Lang Jun to never turn over." "They are heirs, and they are in a more difficult situation.
"What then?" The nurse was also worried about Xiao Cui's.
"How many married ladies have a reply?" Xiao Cui did not answer the rhetorical question.
"Yes, several ladies have replied, saying that they will definitely come back to pay their respects to their wife." The nurse replied.
"Of course they'll come back." Xiao Cui's Waner, Mrs. Guo is only two months older than Mrs. Wang, and the concubines who married the Jiang family came to pay tribute to Mrs. Guo's birthday, and it is true to congratulate Mrs. Wang on her birthday, which is the queen's own grandmother. The Lu family is not kind to a few concubines, and the family they marry is also average, and Guo Liuzu can overpower all the sons-in-law in the past, but now the Guo family is like this - I don't know what her arrogant sister-in-law will think when she sees that her sisters-in-law who have never paid attention to her are currently higher than her. Little Cui smiled, aren't you trying to take away my child? I'll let you be too busy to toss mother and son. Xiao Cui's has long broken off the idea of mutual respect with the Lu family, anyway, what she does is biased towards her aunt in her eyes, even so, she will see who can overpower whom.
