When Lu Xiuya and his wife arrived at the Zhenbei Palace, they could be said to have a very happy conversation. King Zhenbei has always had a good impression of Lu Xiuya, who abandoned his pen and followed Rong, because the two of them had met on the battlefield.

It was the king of Zhenbei who led his troops to rescue him, and at that time, the king of Zhenbei also felt that a young junior officer swore to defend the city to the death, which was undoubtedly a very stupid thing to do with an egg. He should retreat first, give up the city to the enemy, save his strength, and wait for reinforcements.

But when he knew that because the enemy came too suddenly, in a short time, it was already a large army overwhelmed, and the people of the whole city did not retreat. The reason why Lu Xiuya wanted to defend the city was to transfer the old, weak, women and children.

At that time, some voices were questioning him, is it worth exchanging the lives of those old and weak women and children with strong soldiers and strong generals? After all, they are still the ones who can really take the city back, and if they can't save themselves, those old and weak women and children will only have the lives of being slaughtered.

Lu Xiuya was dressed in neat armor, stood on the city wall, and said in a loud voice: "As a soldier, the first duty is to protect the territory and protect the people. If, when the enemy comes, we lose the city and abscond, leaving the people to be slaughtered, will we still be worthy of the clothes on our bodies, but we will also be worthy of the military flag planted on the city wall?

In the end, because of the support of the king of Zhenbei, they survived to Xu Jince's reinforcements. Lu Xiuya respected the father and son of the king of Zhenbei even more, the city where he was located was not under the jurisdiction of northern Xinjiang, and the local reinforcements had not arrived for a long time. He had to ask for help from the northern frontier, and he didn't have much hope, but he didn't want to get their help.

He had already fallen in love with Ji Hongye, but now seeing that his little junior brother had the heart to ask to marry the county lord of Zhenbei Wangfu, he was even more willing to become an adult. So after finishing his own business, he hurriedly brought his wife here. Mrs. Lu is a woman who reads poetry and books, and she is three years older than Lu Xiuya. Because of proper maintenance, her appearance is slightly smaller than her husband, and the husband and wife are also sweet.

Mrs. Lu saw that Nalan Jinxiu was very young, but she was very calm and dignified, and she also liked it very much in her heart. She spoke very gently and amiably with Nalan Jinxiu, especially when she heard about Ji Hongye's deeds from her husband, she felt that such a calm person could be like this for Nalan Jinxiu, which was really commendable.

Nalan Jinxiu didn't expect that the third brother would find a matchmaker to come to the door again, and he was very satisfied with his father's appearance, so he was relieved.

King Zhenbei and Lu Xiuya are both battle-hardened people, and they don't have too much red tape. Because we had a good conversation, we sat down and had lunch. Shen Congli, as the princess of Zhenbei, is naturally there. She has always smiled sweetly, and virtuously gave Nalan Jinxiu vegetables.

Nalan Jinxiu felt that the cuizhu beside her was a little different today, and she couldn't say what was different, she seemed to be much quieter than usual, her eyes were always a little erratic, and she looked restless.

Shen Congqian took a hairy crab to Nalan Jinxiu's plate, and said softly: "This crab is very fat, try it." ”

Nalan Jinxiu is very fond of eating crabs, and this thing is extremely lacking in northern Xinjiang, so now he naturally can't help but peel it.

Ji Hongye, who was sitting diagonally opposite him, glanced at her lightly, didn't speak, only put a piece of fish meat on her plate, and the fish bones had been shaved clean. Nalan Jinxiu's hand that was originally stretched out to the hairy crab quietly took it back and obediently went to eat the fish.

The people at the table are all ghosts, and this scene naturally can't escape everyone's eyes. Lu Xiuya was a straightforward person, and couldn't help laughing twice, and said: "Little junior brother, the foolish brother didn't even find out before, you still have the potential of a housekeeper's wife! What's wrong with the hairy crab, the county lord likes to eat it, so you let her eat it!"

King Zhenbei felt that his daughter was too obedient, and even what she wanted to eat had to be controlled. In the future, he will marry to Jinling, the mountains and rivers will be long, and he will not be around to support her waist and eyes, so he must not be bullied to death?

Mrs. Lu is a woman in the end, and she is as careful as a hair. She smiled and said, "Crabs are cold, and women are not easy to eat more." Especially in the cold climate of northern Xinjiang, the county lord should pay more attention when eating, so as not to have abdominal pain in the future. ”

As soon as Mrs. Lu's words came out, King Zhenbei and Lu Xiuya were silent. They are all doing self-reflection, one is that their daughters are so old, and the other is a person who also has two children, but they never know that women should avoid eating crabs. In this way, it seems that Ji Hongye will inevitably be a good husband in the future, and he is already so concerned now.

Ji Hongye's eyebrows were faint, and he was putting vegetables on his plate, and he had some of each, which was very neat. He watched Nalan Jinxiu eating fish obediently, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, although it was fleeting, he still couldn't hide his deep spoiling.

Nalan Jinxiu finished eating the piece of fish and meat he sandwiched, and his demeanor was obedient, and he naturally ate a little green vegetables on the plate pushed by Ji Hongye, and pushed his empty plate to him. Everyone suddenly realized that the plate of dishes that Ji Hongye had just sandwiched was actually for the county lord, seeing that the interaction between the two of them was so natural, it was not difficult to speculate that these two people had already fallen in love!

King Zhenbei felt a little sour in his heart, why did his daughter listen to others like that. But I have to admit that the man really put his daughter at the top of his heart, even such a simple thing as eating food. The Daning Dynasty is a country where male power is supreme, and only women have always served their husbands, so what man is willing to do something for his wife? Especially in front of everyone.

This Ji Hongye is indeed very different from ordinary sour scholars, and it is no wonder that his daughter is fond of him. has had such an excellent man by her side since she was a child, and she naturally looks down on others. Now that the wedding date is scheduled for seven days later, he has a lot of reluctance in his heart, but in the end, he still has to think about his daughter's happiness. Fortunately, the person she married was her favorite, although the distance was far away, he had to enter the palace every year to resume his life, in short, he could still see each other.

The gentleman has the beauty of an adult, and Lu Xiuya feels that he has really done a good deed, so he has set the wedding date. In the future, his amazing little junior brother will inevitably shine in the Daning Dynasty. And the love between him and his wife will surely be passed on as a good story. He felt very comfortable thinking about it.

Lu Xiuya and his wife left after lunch, and Ji Hongye went to see them off. Mrs. Lu was in the carriage, Ji Xiaobai followed behind, and the two of them were brothers, leading the horses and walking slowly, it was a rare opportunity to talk.

"Hahaha, Brother Fool is really happy today. Lu Xiuya patted Ji Hongye on the shoulder.

Ji Hongye's eyebrows and eyes, which have always been gentle, look more gentle because he finally achieved his wish. He smiled faintly, as if the sun was shining in the snow, which made Lu Xiuya, a big man, also stunned.

"I also want to thank my brother and sister-in-law for their success. ”

"No, we are just pushing the boat along the river, mainly because the county lord likes you, and the king of Zhenbei himself intends to promote it. Lu Xiuya paused when he said this, looked at no one around, and then whispered again: "You are in love with the county lord, and that little girl is really likable, but you must remember that this is in someone's mansion, and you must not do anything out of the ordinary." ”

"No, it won't. "What Ji Hongye said was categorical.

No, Lu Xiuya looked at him suspiciously. He is also a man, and he came from this age, looking at the look of only one person in his eyes, he really didn't believe that he had no thoughts about other county lords. Of course, when he was as old as Ji Hongye, he already had an eldest son.

He is the one who can best understand the mood of a man at this time. Besides, he already had two girls waiting for him before that, and they were both very popular with him, and he still longed to be with his wife from time to time.

Later, because the lady was pregnant, it stands to reason that the two girls should be raised into concubines. His mother was the master, and his wife agreed, and he also felt that they had some affection for him, and it was also natural. It was supposed to be a happy event, and although there were no lights in the house, it was also lively.

The lady can't handle it because she is pregnant, and all the etiquette is done by the grandmother next to the mother. There was a freshly made osmanthus cake on the table that day, and he remembered that his wife liked it very much, but when he got to his mother's side, he found that she was not there. The mother said that she was so bad that she couldn't see the meat, so she let the girl help her to go to the garden to breathe.

He was worried, so he wrapped the osmanthus cake in oiled paper and prepared to let her eat a little bit. But he saw his wife leaning against the rockery stone, looking at the clouds in the sky in a daze. She couldn't eat anything because she was happy, so she was losing weight very quickly, and when she stood there like this, she looked very pitiful.

He got closer and realized she was crying. He froze in place for a moment, feeling that there was a thousand pounds under his feet, and he couldn't take a step forward. When everyone was rejoicing, his wife showed nothing, and he thought she was willing, but what woman was willing to share her husband with others?

When he wanted to marry her, he didn't feel too much, he just felt that his mother's arrangement must be right. When she really married him, she found out that her mother really chose a good wife for him, gentle and dignified, knowledgeable, and the inner house was well organized by her, even the two girls who she thought would be mistreated, she was treated kindly.

He thinks she is very good, and because of her little bit of care, his heart gradually collapses. He let her live in his heart, and even after she entered the door, he never touched the two girls again. It's not that he's deliberately shying away, he just thinks that they are newly married, and he should respect his wife.
