Back in Yanjing, Yun Xiu lay on the couch in his room to rest, feeling that the air was much fresher and more elegant than that of the Qin family's Zhuangzi. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test

Brother Huan sat next to her, holding the rattle in his chubby little hands, learning to shake it, but the method was wrong, he couldn't make a knock sound, and he calmly handed the small drum to his mother.

"You think of me this time," Yun Xiu took it, shook it slowly, and talked to Brother Huan'er, "Your father is also here, why don't you ask him to play with you, you want to tire your mother to death, don't see me, you know how to grind me when you see me." “

Brother Huan'er didn't understand or didn't know, anyway, Yun Xiu laughed, and he laughed along.

Ling Xiao heard her complaining, and took the initiative to come over and pick up Brother Huan'er. "Come on, son, don't bother your mother, she has a bad temper, be careful to beat you."

"When did I beat him," Yun Xiu glared at him, "Don't talk nonsense, he understands." “

Ling Xiao snatched the rattle from her hand and said while shaking, "In front of the child." Be honest, do you have a good temper? “

Yun Xiu just wanted to kick, but withdrew his foot, snorted, and turned over to sleep.

She accompanied Ling Xiao to live in Jizhou for two days, in addition to taking care of the drunk, it was the reality of husband and wife, and her waist, hips and legs were still sore.

Ling Xiao took the child to Westinghouse to play, didn't make any noise to her, and waited for Brother Huan'er to get tired of playing. Yun Xiu fell asleep early.

After the Lantern Festival, the whole year passed, and the old marquis couldn't wait for the Lantern Festival, and the number of visiting guests began to increase again.

But the most eye-catching thing is that Cui Shangshu of the Ministry of War personally visited him.

The two sat in the study for nearly an hour, and the old marquis personally sent him out of the house, and then his smile sank, and he asked the steward in the front yard to pass Ling Xiao and Yun Xiu over.

As soon as the little mother entered the door, she found that the old man's expression was wrong.

"Father, you drink tea." Yun Xiu picked up the teapot and added water, and said clatteringly, "It's rare for you to have a moment of leisure." “

The old marquis didn't appreciate it, looked at the two of them, and gave a word lightly, "Sit." “

Yun Xiu belched, retreated and stood up, Ling Xiao was going to sit, but seeing that she didn't sit, he didn't know whether to sit or not for a while, so he simply stood up and said with a smile: "My son saw that you have been busy these days, and I didn't come over with Xiuxiu to say goodbye, don't worry." “

"Less poor mouth." The old marquis snorted coldly, "Let me ask you, what stupid thing are you doing in Jizhou?" “

Folly?

Ling Xiao thought for a moment, shook his head, and his face was full of innocence, "My son didn't do anything, and he didn't say anything to General Qin, what's wrong?" “

"What's wrong?" The old marquis suddenly slapped the desk a few times and scolded, "You are so strong and capable that you are embarrassed to ask me what's wrong!" “

Ling Xiao intuitively felt that he was not a bad thing, "My son will compete with Qin Ying, and nothing else." “

The old marquis roared: "You are a competition, or show off your skills!" Do you want me to break it?! “

The old man rarely lost his temper, Yun Xiu felt that things were not simple, so he secretly pulled the hem of Ling Xiao's clothes and motioned to say a few words.

The small movements did not escape the eyes of the old marquis.

"Say, what's going on?" He asked her, "If you dare to say half a word of truth, you two will get out of the Ling family for me!" “

Yun Xiu blinked in fright, subconsciously leaned over to Ling Xiao's side, repeated the matter of the archery competition in detail, and spoke for Ling Xiao again, "You can't blame him for this, father, there are many people in the martial arts field at the moment, and there is a lot of noise, whoever loses, it doesn't look good." “

"Is face important, or is life important?" The old marquis tapped his index finger on the table, "Cui Shangshu can't cover it up if he wants to cover it for you!" Not only the Qin family, almost half of the military department has spread all over the country, and the tenth princess is also present, she returned to Beijing on the front foot, and the palace on the back foot also knows it! Do you know what a stupid mistake you made! “

Ling Xiao didn't expect this result, "Dad, I was playing around with the game at that time." “

The old marquis sneered: "Kidding?!" I let you out, let you learn to behave in the world, and specially asked Yun Xiu to follow you to mention it, you two are good, really relax and relax, when did I set a precedent and allow me to go out for the New Year? “

It didn't seem to be true, Ling Xiao's heart sank, and he quickly admitted his mistake, "Dad, it's my son's negligence." “

"Negligence? Your negligence is left to follow the peak explanation. Look at the collar and don't appreciate it! The old marquis slapped his palm on the table, and the tea cup shook with it, and pointed at Yun Xiu, "I thought you were a smart person." “

Yun Xiu understood the seriousness of the situation, knelt down and said: "Father, is the daughter-in-law thinking shallowly, the daughter-in-law is wrong, can there be a way to remedy it?" “

"How can I remedy it?" The old marquis looked at Yun Xiu, and then at Ling Xiao, "Kneel!" “

Ling Xiao knelt down honestly and interceded for Yun Xiu: "Dad, you punish your son, your son has nothing to say, this matter has nothing to do with Xiuxiu, she just forget it." “

"When you become the head of the family, you will negotiate terms with me." The old marquis picked up the teacup, blew the floating tea leaves, and was not in a hurry to drink, "In the past, the emperor thought that you didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, but now he thinks that you are hidden and talented, but you are hiding in Yanjing to steal and play tricks, how do you think of you, how do you think of the Ling family?" “

"No, no, father, Ling Xiao said that we are Taoguang Yanghu," Yun Xiu rubbed his knees on the ground, moved a few steps forward, and said hurriedly, "Otherwise, I will sing a little song to send gold to Cui Shangshu, and my daughter-in-law's box of leaves will be offered." Please Cui Shangshu think about it. “

"Cui Shangshu won't throw away the black yarn hat for us," the old marquis sighed, asking her to get up and speak, "No one else will accept the gold and silver mountains if they send them back." “

Yun Xiu hesitated for a moment, lowered her eyes, and made up her mind to say, "Father, my daughter-in-law heard that Gu Fanshuang is Cui Shangshu's godfather, and Miss Gu has been secretly in love with Ling Xiao for a long time, so let Ling Xiao divorce her daughter-in-law and marry Miss Gu, she is definitely willing to help the Ling family get through the difficulties." “

"You??"

Ling Xiao was halfway through his words, but was stopped by the old marquis.

"It's going to pass, what are you going to do?" The old marquis's tone softened, and he asked Yun Xiu, "Gu Fanshuang's surname is Gu, not Cui, do you want to understand?" “

Yun Xiu shook her head, "My daughter-in-law is just a woman, and I can't see the long term." Just want to be in the moment. “

She also wanted to say that it was not a day or two that the county lord of Pingkang disliked her as a foreigner, it was better to combine the two good, fulfill the county lord's wish, and help Ling Xiao.

As for myself, I didn't think too much about it.

"Since you can't see the long term, go back and think about it," the old marquis waved his hand, signaling that she could go, "You can't just look at the present." “

Yun Xiu said yes, put on his coat and lift the curtain to go out.

Ling Xiao's gaze followed, and the cotton curtain fell together, and the light was bright and dark.

"Get up and sit down." The old marquis looked at Ling Xiao, opened the book in his hand, and asked, "Have you thought of a countermeasure?" Are you really going to let Yun Xiu sacrifice for you? “

"Who are you as a son," Ling Xiao patted the white ash on his knees and frowned, "Don't listen to Yun Xiu's nonsense, she knows a fart." “

The old marquis laughed, "It seems that you don't raise waste in the house every day." “

"Don't be sarcastic about your son," Ling Xiao was very irritable, "At the head of the competition, someone arched the fire and caught the way, now that I think about it, what kind of archery competition is there for no reason in the New Year, is it General Qin's idea?" No, your military power has been divided, what benefit did he give us by digging a pit? “

"This matter has nothing to do with the Qin family," the old marquis reminded, "The expedition is imminent, and the Qin family has many guests, even if the emperor can easily install one or two eyeliner, who is a person in front of him and a ghost behind his back, can you find out?" “

Ling Xiao pondered for a moment: "What do you mean, the emperor doesn't believe Cui Shangshu?" “

"The emperor doesn't believe anyone." The old marquis said cryptically, "I can't see the intention of recovering the military power?" In the past two days you have been in Jizhou, Dingguo Gong has come and said that the emperor suddenly issued a secret edict to pardon a group of death row prisoners and not let them go home. “

"Is it possible to train to be a dead soldier?" Ling Xiao said in one sentence, "But why don't the dead soldiers be selected from the barracks or the Imperial Forest Army?" Death row prisoners are a double-edged sword. “

"It can be seen that the emperor does not trust the important ministers very much," said the old marquis, "Dingguo Gong is the same as you said, he thinks that the emperor needs a knife at his disposal to kill those who stand in his way." “

It is not necessary to kill the ministers, but there may be loyalty.

Old Marquis: "This is a secret, you know it in your heart." “

Ling Xiao explained.

The archery competition is just a small entertainment game, but I didn't expect a hidden crisis.

You can't sit still, Ling Xiao asked, "What now?" We tried every means to escape the expedition, and now adding my name back is equivalent to telling the emperor that Cui Shangshu has done a trick, and there will be no harm but no benefit to the Cui family. “

"The matter of going out must be bitten to death," the old marquis muttered, "If you want to make meritorious service in an individual way, the merits and demerits will be compensated, and then ask your mother to go to the Empress Dowager to walk around more, and try to smooth the wind without a trace, you had better be prepared." “

Ling Xiao said yes.

***

When he was in charge of the lamp, he didn't pay much attention to Yun Xiu and slept first.

Yun Xiu put the newly made small belly pocket into the sewing basket, took off his shoes, climbed into the box bed, came face to face with Ling Xiao, blew lightly on his face, and laughed in a low voice: "I know you're not asleep." “

Ling Xiao snorted, turned over, and turned his back to her.

"What's wrong? Are you still unhappy about the study in the afternoon? Yun Xiu's slender jade hand touched the other party's back for a while, "I am thoughtful, not angry." “

"Shut up and sleep." Ling Xiao thought for a while, turned over again, opened his eyes, and warned, "You don't talk nonsense in front of my father in the future, and it's not your turn to intervene in the affairs outside." “

Yun Xiu said softly, "I'm not thinking about you yet. “

"Fuck off, you know a fart," Ling Xiao reprimanded her, "I don't know what virtues you have, how can you be a person with a good heart?" Okay, okay, don't explain, I don't listen, you hurry up and give birth to the second child, don't be blind all day long. “

After speaking, no matter what Yun Xiu said, he ignored it.

Until the Lantern Festival, the old marquis agreed to go out as a family to make lanterns, and the relationship between the two eased.

Brother Huan went out for the first time, and his eyes widened and he was curious about the colorful world.

Lantern Festival Street Entrance. The hundred lantern feast tied up with bamboo rows is hung with small lanterns of various shapes, and there are anagrams hanging underneath, guess correctly, spend a penny to take the lantern away, or you can spend no money, no lamp, just have a guessing fun.

The streets were crowded, and Ling Xiao was worried that the nurse would be scattered, so he personally hugged Brother Huan'er to enjoy the lanterns.

Brother Huan was wearing a small flower jacket in Zhu Jin color and a royal blue gown. Tiger head cotton boots on his feet, tiger head hat on his head, white and chubby little round face, a pair of big black eyes looking around.

He is like a small-faced person, attracting the side glances of countless girls and daughters-in-law, plus Ling Xiao is tall, handsome and cheerful, and walks with the wind.

Wherever the father and son go, it was the focus.

Yun Xiu fell not far away, feeling that Ling Xiao's remaining anger had not disappeared, from getting off the carriage just now to now. Don't even look at her.

Brother Huan ignored her, there were too many fun things outside, and the little guy was overwhelmed.

But Ling Xiao only showed it, not bought it, and couldn't even have a lantern for the occasion.

Under his father's high-pressure situation, Brother Huan began to be irritable, twisted his body, and looked for Yun Xiu, because there were many people blocking the view, and the search was unsuccessful for a long time, wow, crying on the street.

As soon as he cried, attracting more attention, Ling Xiao was hindered by his face, it was not easy to lose his temper, and it was not good to coax and coax, so he looked at Yun Xiu very unpleasantly, "You can't come over?" “

"I thought you didn't want to go with me." Yun Xiu waited for him to speak, took the child, coaxed while patting, and pointed to a rabbit lantern, "Let's go buy a rabbit, don't cry if you buy it." “

Sure enough, Brother Huan got the rabbit lamp, tears hung in the corners of his eyes, and he immediately stopped crying.

"Fake crying again." Ling Xiao glanced at him with disgust, "What's wrong, the eldest son learns to cry, who taught it." “

Brother Huan didn't care about his father's dislike at all, he held the lamp and covered his saliva, and showed a sweet smile to Ling Xiao by the way.

??

"Husband. Do you see if it's the Marquis of Zhongyi over there? “

The tenth princess is the age when she loves to be lively and fun, how could she miss the lantern festival, she heard the baby's cry before, followed the voice, saw Yun Xiu and Ling Xiao, felt familiar, and then approached, making sure that she didn't recognize the wrong person.

Xie Zongren looked at the past as she pointed out, and the family of three came into view, poking his heart hurt.

Brother Huan'er's eyes look very similar to Yun Xiu. Xie Zongren recognized their mother and son at a glance, and couldn't help but think that if he had realized himself earlier in his previous life, he and Yun Xiu's child should also be a chubby little guy for nothing.

The tenth princess thought that Brother Huan was cute, and pulled Xie Zongren over to tease the child.

"Yikes! Like a little porcelain man," she pinched Brother Huan'er's little hand, and was even happier when she saw that the child did not recognize her life, "Earlier, the imperial grandmother said, "Earlier, the imperial grandmother said, Zhongyi Marquis Mansion Tianding, I have never seen the child, I am blessed today, I saw it first." “

Saying that, the tenth princess smiled at Yun Xiu again: "When will you take the child into the palace to show the imperial grandmother?" “

"The main fear is that the child is too young and will make noise to the queen mother." Yun Xiu saw the county lord of Pingkang coming over and pushed it to the county lord's head, "My mother-in-law is in charge, and she is the old man in this matter." “

Seeing that the ten princesses were acquainted with each other, Xie Zongren didn't want to block himself, so he saluted Ling Xiao: "In Jizhou, the Hou Ye said that when you go back to Beijing, please drink in the next place, you can still remember?" “

Ling Xiao said that he remembered: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just today, anyway, the lantern festival is like this every year, nothing new." “

The tenth princess wanted to play with Brother Huan even more, and reluctantly said, "Why are you leaving?" Or you're going for a drink, I'll be waiting for you here. “

Xie Zongren frowned, and said mildly: "Next time you wait for the child to enter the palace, you can still go to play, it's rare for the Hou Ye to be free, be good, let's go." “

The tenth princess looked at him, then at the Zhongyi Marquis and his wife, who had gone away, returned the child to the county lord of Pingkang, and shook her hand with Brother Huan and said goodbye.

She reluctantly turned around, walked to Xie Zongren's side, and hinted: "Husband, you didn't see it just now, the little guy is smiling at me, it's too painful, I don't know what our child looks like." “

Xie Zongren heard it as if he didn't hear it, it was impossible for him to have a child with the tenth princess in his life.
