Another year has passed in a blink of an eye, this is a real year without war, the national strength of the Great Liang Dynasty has been significantly improved, and the children playing happily on the street have added a warm touch to the whole city.

Tang Yuan introduced the stubborn Tang Chu'an to the emperor, and the emperor gladly accepted, and at the same time, Tang Cai also followed his father to Luoyang, but Youlan stayed. She was in charge of managing a residence of the Tang family in Xiangcheng. Although it is not big, it is also a standard three-entry courtyard, which is the ancestral property of the Tang family.

Youlan only has a little maid and two mothers-in-law by his side, and an old housekeeper, and at other times he is too busy to hire someone outside.

The two mothers-in-law and a housekeeper are all old slaves of the Tang family, and the reason why they left them behind was not because they didn't want to take them away, but because they had inconvenient legs and feet, were not in good health, and were worried that they would not be able to bear the bumps on the road.

You can see how bad their bodies have become.

This has also become Tang Yuan's foothold in the city, he has no home in Xiangcheng, and this Tang Mansion has become a place he must go to after entering the city.

Na Youlan, who was also the daughter of a big family, was originally in Jingzhou City, but due to the war, the house was burned down, the family's money was looted, and both parents died.

Fate is not extinct, eating weeds along the way to survive, but it can be regarded as persisting in Xiangcheng, uncle Tang Chu'an heard about this and cried.

In fact, Tang Chu'an and Youlan's mother are not necessarily sisters and brothers, but the two of them were discovered by an old nun at the same time, and Youlan's mother was also very young at the time, only two or three years old, squatting next to the swaddling baby, and the guardian refused to leave.

The old nun asked her why you were here, and the little one couldn't tell me.

The old nun guarded them there for a while, but no one came to pick up the two children, fearing that the children would freeze to death, so they took them back to the nunnery.

Later, the old Ni inquired everywhere, but did not find out who the family of the two children was, only heard from Yulan's mother that her name was Donnell.

Whether this was her name or the nickname "Sugar Nier", the old nun couldn't figure it out, so she simply gave them the surname Tang.

"It turns out that your mother and uncle turned out to be orphans, and then they can get to where they are today, and they can be regarded as creation." Tang Yuan played chess with Youlan, and his Go skills were still learned from his deceased wife Tang Jiaqi, and every time he played chess, he could think of the eldest lady, and he couldn't help but feel a little heavy.

You Lan's autumn eyes were clear, she seemed to feel that Tang Yuan was in a heavy mood as soon as he played chess, but for some reason, as soon as he came to Tang's house, he sat next to the chessboard, since he sat there, the master of the house did not neglect the guests, so he played with him.

Tang Yuan rarely plays chess, so his chess skills are not excellent, but Na Youlan is a master of chess, and even her uncle Tang Chu'an, who is a scholar of the dynasty, has a five-to-five chance of winning with her.

"I heard that there is another war in Hanzhong, is the general going to go too?" Yulan looked a little distraught today.

"It's hard to say." Tang Yuan pinched the sunspot in his hand and was undecided.

"If I ask you to go, can I go with you?" The girl's cheeks suddenly turned red, "I heard that officers at the rank of lieutenant general in the barracks can take female dependents." ”

This sentence was too bold, although Tang Yuan often came to the Tang family as a guest, nothing ever happened between them. Tang Chu'an is a Qing official, he sends money back to Xiangcheng every year, in fact, it is not enough for Youlan to use, it is not that Youlan does not know how to save money, but the house is dilapidated and always needs to be repaired, and these money are all from the rich man Tang Yuan. Now the three most important businesses in Xiangcheng have Tang Yuan's investment. Feeding a "small family" is really nothing. At this time, Tang Yuan's troops also looked very strong, with three thousand iron cavalry and infantry all equipped with iron armor, they were already the strongest troops in the Flying Tiger Army series.

When it comes to the Flying Tiger Ninth Division, it is regarded as the card of the Flying Tiger Army.

Of course, the support of Queen Tang Qi is indispensable, this year is the ninth year of Zhide, Queen Tang is already the mother of two children, the godmother of one child, she is twenty-six years old, she grew up in the military camp since she was a child, and her mind is much more mature than ordinary women. She would write letters to Tang Yuan almost every month, but they were all very hidden, and there were many tricks, and she would never send them through one channel.

It's really evil, the queen is in the palace, how could she know that Tang Yuan has a connection with Youlan?

Last time, a seller actually delivered a letter to Yulan.

"Next time, don't open the letter."

"I didn't mean to take it apart." Yulan said nervously: "It was raining that day, and the seller was soaking wet, and when he took out the letter, the envelope was already broken. I was going to dry the envelope, but it turned out that the handwriting inside was light and sharp, I thought it was a woman's words, but I was very curious, what kind of woman can write such heroic words, so I opened it and looked at it, at first I didn't know that it was the queen's words, when you told me, I regretted it very much. ”

This is also the reason why Tang Yuan often runs to Youlan, he is worried that there will be a letter delivered here, but he misses it.

He still remembered how frightened the girl was when he told Yulan that this was the letter that the current queen had written to him. Privately opening letterhead is illegal in "Daliang Law", and if it is an official letter, you will go to jail.

This is a letter sent by the Queen Mother to the generals stationed abroad, and if this matter is rumored, what kind of rumor will it become, they all know it.

So, why did Tang Yuan tell You Lan that this was a letter from the empress to him?

Because Tang Yuan had already sensed that Youlan had actually seen the clue, but she pretended not to see it.

Tang Qi's letter mentioned Tang Yuan's son Tang Xiaoyu and called him a righteous son, and Tang Yuan's son was in the palace and was raised by the queen, and You Lan knew about it.

With her shrewdness, how could she not see the origin of this letter.

Now that she has seen through it, there is no need to hide anything, just take care of the Tang family often, take care of her, and let her not spread it outside.

"I'll think about it again." Tang Yuan threw away the chess pieces, admitted defeat, and stopped playing.

"General, if you don't take me there, I'm afraid I'll be killed." Yulan said with a solemn face.

"You're worried that the queen will kill you?"

"I can see from the letter that the queen is a decisive woman, she has feelings for you, but she has no feelings for me, and when I lose my use value and may leave troubles, it is very likely to get rid of me."

"What kind of relationship can I have with her?" Obviously, Tang Yuan thought wrong at first, and immediately changed his words: "There is comradeship, of course, I still miss the grace of knowing in my heart, without her appreciation and promotion of me, there is no me today." It should be that I have feelings for her, and she is ...... for me There should be only ......".

"I don't think it's that simple, the care for you between the lines is beyond the scope of what you said."

"......, huh? Stop talking nonsense. ”
