Chapter 174

"General, the letter from the post has arrived." After the report, the soldier entered the tent, saluted, and pulled out a large package from behind him: "This time there are more letters than the last one." ”

Yang Jianbai nodded, went over to open the package in person, quickly flipped through it, and when he saw the thick letter at the bottom, he couldn't help but smile on his face. After taking out the letter, he turned to the adjutant next to him and said, "Take out these letters and check them, and then send someone to distribute them." ”

The adjutant hurriedly answered and led the soldier out. Yang Jianbai returned to the table and sat down, carefully tore the envelope along the seal, and took out a stack of stationery inside.

Seeing the familiar handwriting, Yang Jianbai's face was more gentle, his eyes couldn't help but show a trace of affection and tenderness, and the movements of his hands became more and more careful, for fear of tearing the letter paper.

He quickly went through all the letters, and then took out the last few pieces of paper, on which were painted small portraits of his newborn child. Shu Manyao drew very carefully, but it was a little blurry, but Yang Jianbai looked at the pieces of paper and looked fascinated.

It took a long time to reach out and touch the portrait: "I don't know who the president looks like, well, it's better for a boy to be like me, like Man Yao is too delicate." Girls are the best like Man Yao, Man Yao is beautiful, and her daughter will definitely be beautiful in the future. ”

Reluctantly rubbed it several times before Yang Jianbai put down the portrait, reached out and took the letter paper and began to read it word by word. Seeing Shu Manyao write that Shu Chengye returned to Beijing, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, although Mrs. Shu and Cheng are both very powerful people who can protect Manyao, but there are men in the family, it is different.

What's more, after his father-in-law returns to Beijing this time, he will definitely be promoted, and Manyao will move back to the Shu family at this time, and the Yang family will not easily oppose it even if they have opinions. Maybe they would prefer to live in the Shu family, so that they can justifiably let the second uncle and Yang He'an visit their father-in-law.

Man Yao's letter mostly said some trivial things, such as going back to Shu's house to live today, her yard is still the same as before, and the spring flowers planted in the corner are also blooming, which is actually tender yellow, and I used to think that it would be pink.

Yang Jianbai thought about it for a while, the spring flowers in the yard were not a precious variety, they were planted when Man Yao got married and occasionally went back to Shu's house to live, and he helped dig a pit at that time, but he didn't expect it to bloom this year.

After reading it, Yang Jianbai was still reluctant to put down the letterhead. Through those letters, he seemed to see Man Yao's room, the mirror on the dresser placed by the window was still so bright, and the furnishings in the room were the same as always.

Man Yao was sitting on the edge of the bed, holding a needle and thread in her hand, and next to her were two little swaddling clothes, both of which were his children, a boy and a girl. From time to time, Man Yao would turn her head to look at the two children, with a gentle and loving smile on her face.

Occasionally, Man Yao would raise her head and speak: "The fish made in the kitchen today is not very delicious, a little fishy, speaking of which, the sauce pig's trotters made by the master of Zhiweilou have not been eaten for a long time." ”

"I'll make you a dress, I don't know if you've gained weight or thinness recently, if you try it when you come back and can't wear it, then it will be a waste of my effort."

"Ming'er is the third wash, grandmother invited Mrs. Cheng, oh, you probably don't know, Mrs. Cheng is also very famous in the capital, basically big families invite her when they hold three baptisms."

"I don't know what the weather is like in Xijiang, the capital is starting to warm up, it's March, the flowers will bloom in April, we went to Qingqing last year, you are not here this year, Manyu said before that I want to go, but I don't want to go with her."

"Aunt Qi came here this morning, saw the two children, and said that the little brother looks like you, but I watched it for a long time, and I didn't find any looks like you, maybe my eyes are not good?"

These were all written by Man Yao in the letter, and Yang Jianbai thought about it again in his heart, as if he was talking to Man Yao, Man Yao said a word, and he also replied. It's like when you're at home, two people seem to be doing their own things, but when one person speaks, the other can listen carefully and then reply seriously.

It took a long time for Yang Jianbai to come back to his senses from his memories, and as if he was a treasure, he carefully folded the letter paper and put it in the envelope, and then locked it in a box on the side. He took out a stack of letterheads and began to reply to Man Yao.

He also wrote some trivial matters, the letters received in the barracks were to be checked, and the letters sent out were even more to be checked, he was not a marshal, so his letters had to be sent to the marshal for inspection.

"General, do you want to light the lamp?" The soldier asked outside, and Yang Jianbai suddenly realized that the sky had darkened, and he didn't know how time passed so quickly, and he still had a lot of words to write. Just looking at the letter paper next to him, Yang Jianbai was a little surprised, did he write so much?

After reading it, I couldn't help but smile, most of it was some nonsense. I never thought that I would have a lot of nonsense.

"No need." After saying a word to the outside, Yang Jianbai got up and lit the oil lamp, sorted out the letterheads, and then put them in envelopes, the soldiers who delivered the letters went to the post station once every ten days, and he could write this letter slowly.

"General, dinner is ready." Someone was talking outside, Yang Jianbai answered, lifted the curtain and went out, strode towards the middle of the camp, met many colleagues on the way, General Chang reached out and patted Yang Jianbai on the shoulder: "Jianbai received a letter from home today?" ”

After the letter from the post station was retrieved, the marshal first read it, and then slowly passed it down. When I got to Yang Jianbai, several people had already looked through it before, and I knew that Yang Jianbai had received a letter from home.

Yang Jianbai nodded, and Zhao Jianghe smiled on the side: "Did your daughter-in-law write it?" Jianbai has been reading letters in the tent all afternoon, I remember you said before, your daughter-in-law is pregnant? ”

Yang Jianbai replied with a smile: "Yes, I wrote this time to tell me that I have given birth." It was rare for everyone to see his smiling face, and they were even more happy for him when they saw this: "It's already born?" What do you think? Male or female? ”

"Dragon and phoenix fetus." Yang Jianbai said a little proudly, none of his colleagues have a dragon and phoenix fetus in their family, and this is the first one in their own family!

"Really? Damn, Jianbai is so blessed for your kid. Immediately, someone said loudly: "General Yang got good news today, his daughter-in-law gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, brothers, don't be polite today, you have to get General Yang drunk!" ”

It happened that I walked to the middle of the camp at this time, and the soldiers of the camp have always eaten together, and the food from the same pot was served. In the middle of the camp was a large open space, and almost all the soldiers of the camp were present when it was time to eat.

As soon as General Li's words fell, he immediately ushered in a chorus: "It's necessary, General Yang has to have a good drink today!" ”

"Congratulations, General Yang is happy to have a dragon and phoenix fetus, do you have to show your brothers today?"

"Don't say anything else, General Yang, I heard that you have a jar of good wine hidden in your tent?"

"Oh, I know this, General Yang specially sent someone to the Ers tribe to buy it two days ago, and it was a good wine!"

"Take it out and make the brothers happy."

Yang Jianbai listened to everyone's noisy talk, nodded with a smile, and motioned to the soldiers around him to go to the tent to get wine, there are also drinks in the barracks, but they are not of high concentration, and the amount per person is limited per day, even if there is a happy event today, he didn't give anyone an extra bowl.

"Come, sing a song." I don't know who stood up and shouted, and many people followed suit: "Sing!" ”

"Xiao Xiao autumn wind rises, leisurely travel thousands of miles...... someone started up, and then someone sang along, the more they sang, the more excited they became, some people took a drumstick to the side to knock, some people boxed directly outside, or two people got together to compare.

Marshal Meng also brought a wine glass over: "Congratulations, Jianbai is a son and daughter this time." When this battle is over, Xijiang is calmed down, and when the time comes to return to Beijing, Jianbai will definitely have to take two children to let me see, I haven't seen a few dragon and phoenix fetuses in my life. ”

"Hey, marshal, I just think that this kid Jianbai is too blessed. I've heard that Jianbai's daughter-in-law is very good-looking and smart, speaking of which, our battle may end soon. ”

Someone came over and said, Marshal Meng raised his eyebrows slightly, and the man smiled and patted Yang Jianbai on the shoulder: "The dragon and phoenix fetus is a good omen, no, not long after Jianbai arrived in Western Xinjiang, his daughter-in-law gave birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus, what a blessing this must be, let's win this time!" ”

Yang Jianbai hurriedly waved his hand: "Brother Big Black can't believe this, it's just a coincidence, besides, this day can't be made, if it's really a good omen, then it should be born when I set off, it's a coincidence." ”

Marshal Meng also smiled and patted Brother Dahei's shoulder: "Don't talk nonsense, it's indeed a coincidence, we are manly husbands, fighting a war is to protect the family and defend the country, where can we put hope on the two milk babies?" ”

At this time, it is said that it is a good omen, and if you can win, then if you lose, won't the twins become unlucky? This thing can't be spread around, and besides, it's really not going to be together.

The Great Xia Dynasty has a large number of people, and there are not a thousand people giving birth on the same day, at least a hundred are alive, and Yang Jianbai's family is at most because their father has a status of a land, and their foreign family is also a high-ranking official, so it is a little special, it is really not a big deal.

The big black brother probably reacted, scratched his head very embarrassedly, and saluted Yang Jianbai with his fist: "I'm sorry brother, I drank two more sips today, and there is no door on my mouth, don't be surprised Brother Yang." ”

"It's fine." Yang Jianbai waved his hand, and was about to speak, when he heard the trumpeter shouting in the distance: "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! ”

Marshal Meng stood up violently and called two people in a row, including Yang Jianbai: "Immediately lead people to meet the enemy, Cheng Dawei, Chang Ying, you take people to guard the barracks, Liu Heizi, Li Si, you take people to block the back road!" ”

Yang Jianbai responded, quickly took the military flag from the hands of the soldiers around him, and waved it vigorously in the air, this is the assembly order, and the men and horses under his command will immediately gather at the gate of the barracks after seeing it. As the soldier brought the horse in, he turned on his horse and galloped away with his broadsword.
