Regarding what Xu Jun said, Xu Han did not hesitate at all, and said in a slow and calm tone,

"I know, my father can go with confidence, I have everything in the palace."

Xu Jun looked at his daughter with satisfaction, believing that she could do a good job.

He only felt that God was unfair in his heart, this daughter, heart, wrist, strategy, she was not lacking, the only thing she lacked was a fair gender.

His mood at this time was not only to regret why she was not a son, but also to faintly feel that maybe she was not born to the wrong gender.

It's the world that imprisons her!

This thought flashed through him, and then he talked to Xu Han about the affairs of the palace.

Xu Jun handed over the affairs of the palace to Xu Han in every detail, if it was said that Xu Han had been asked to take over the affairs of the palace before.

This time, Xu Jun told her and Pan, and told her all the secret secrets.

Xu Han wrote them down one by one.

After talking about family matters and private matters, Xu Jun has not seen Xu Danxiu since he fought with An Xiangchu last time, and this time, he is going to go on the expedition.

"How's your mother?"

Xu Han said with a smile,

"Mother is very good, she lives happily alone than before."

Xu Jun was a little frustrated and said, "Then I'll rest assured." ”

"If there is anything in the future, you can see and make up your mind, and if you can't decide it, go and discuss it with your mother. Your mother has a lot of ideas. ”

Xu Handao,

"Yes."

When he saw that he had no other words, he said,

"Then my father should rest first, I'll go outside and see, if there is anything I can't decide, I can come and get an idea while my father is still there."

Xu Jun responded and waved his hand at Xu Han.

……

Xuanpingfang Xu Mansion, Xu Danxiu had just laid down, and someone knocked on the door outside.

She thought it was Mama Fang, so she said,

"Come in."

No one came in for half a while, and the sound of 'dong dong dong' sounded again.

She said angrily, "If you don't go to sleep, what the hell are you doing here?" ”

Before the words fell, she thought about it, Mama Fang couldn't do such a thing, and the girls below were also calm.

She lifted the tent, pulled the coat on the side, put it on, and did not open the door, but opened the window, and sure enough, she saw Xu Jun standing outside.

Xu Danxiu's face was not good, she held back her anger and said in a low voice,

"What are you doing? Late in the middle of the night. ”

Xu Jun stood in front of the window in this snowstorm,

"I'm sorry, Ah Xiu, to bother you so late. I'm here to bid you farewell, the Northern Barbarians have invaded, and I'm going to take my troops to the front. ”

Xu Jun came late at night and said that he was going to go on the expedition, Rao is Xu Danxiu was calm, but she was still startled, she lost her voice,

"How can this work, your body? It's not that there are no generals in TECO, so why do you need to play? ”

Xu Jun saw her like this, and for some reason, he laughed inexplicably.

"Don't you know that it's Xu Cheng who is not in good health, not me. There are many generals in the Eastern Yuan Dynasty, but Northern Xinjiang is the domain of the Xu family, and I must go. ”

Xu Danxiu sighed, the soldiers together, they will not stop casually, the only way is to stop the war with war.

"What about Han'er?" Xu Danxiu asked. What she was afraid of was that Xu Han would also follow.

Xu Jun shook his head, "The palace also needs someone in charge, she stayed in the capital to help me watch the grain and grass supplies in the rear and so on." ”

She actually understands everything, in the family of military generals, how can there be no one who does not go to the battlefield, and now Xu Junding is in front.

In the future, as long as Xu Han is still in the position of the prince, there will always be a day when he will go to the battlefield to fight.

The Northern Barbarians outside the Guanxi have not stopped since ancient times, just like the change of dynasty of the Central Plains Dynasty, the forces on the grassland are also changing from one to the other, and a tribe called the Central Plains Dynasty has been defeated, or recuperated for a period of time, and then made a comeback.

In this way, sometimes war cannot be once and for all.

No matter how many changes the steppe tribes have undergone, one thing remains the same, that is, their ambition to covet the fertile land of the Central Plains.

Xu Danxiu wanted to scold him for being scared in the middle of the night, but when she heard him say this, she knew that things could not be changed.

However, no matter what, Xu Han always stayed by her side.

She is not a drag on the mud and water, so she doesn't say much, holding on to the window lattice, she didn't mean to let Xu Jun come in to talk in detail, just let him freeze outside.

"Since you're leaving, you must have to pack up, thank you for coming over late at night and telling me, go back and have a good rest."

"It's late at night, and I'm going to rest."

As he spoke, he didn't look at Xu Jun, his eyes fell on the heavy snow outside, and he raised his hand to close the window, so that Xu Jun had a closed door.

Xu Jun was really sad in his heart, and he was full of hope that Ah Xiu would bless him, encourage him, and bless him.

One look from her can bring him warmth and infinite strength.

But she didn't say anything.

Xu Jun was unwilling, his fists had already been clenched, and he wanted to continue knocking on the window, but he was afraid that Xu Danxiu would be unhappy.

He put down his hand with some loss, turned around, walked into the wind and snow, and walked towards the unknown front line.

Suddenly, there was a creak behind him, the sound of the door opening.

He stood there not daring to move, and then heard the sound of footsteps stepping into the soft snow, and after a few steps, he finally stopped, and was a few feet away.

The silent courtyard, the wind is silent, the snow is silent, only the crisp and soft voice,

"I left everything behind and followed you to the capital, what I wanted was the married life of Qin Se and Ming."

"I arrived here with apprehension and joy, but what I wanted was gone in a blink of an eye."

"I have complained, I have complained about the injustice of God, and I have done everything.

I fast, I recite Buddha, I take out my dowry to help the poor, I want to ask Heaven to open his eyes and let him give me back the happiness I want.

But it's useless at all, Xu Jun is not Xu Jun, all this is just a scam. ”

"This time, whether you go on the expedition or whatever, I won't do anything, because it's all useless."

Xu Jun finally turned around and looked at Xu Danxiu standing in the snow with only a coat on, looking at him coldly.

His heart throbbed, yes, it was all his fault!

It was his non-confession that became what he is today.

He ran over quickly, took off the thick cloak on his body, wrapped himself around Xu Danxiu's side, and said,

"You don't have to do anything, you just need to take care of yourself, you are fine, I can feel at ease."

"I'm the same, do my own thing and let myself come back safely.

Say goodbye tonight, cherish each other, and we will all be fine.

On the day of my triumph, if you are willing to give me a chance to compete fairly with others, I will try to do a good job. Live up to you. ”

On this snowy night, two people who have lived half their lives stand facing each other, dissecting each other's hearts.

It seems that the wind and snow also leave with interest.

Xu Jun took a step back and looked at Xu Danxiu with a smile,

"What I did wrong, I admit, no matter what happens to us in the future, you are also the mother of the child, and I am still the father of the child."

"Ah Xiu, take care."

After saying that, he strode away, his back has changed a little compared to back then, but it is still tight and strong, and the well-cut robe on his body makes him look full of energy.

Soon, only distant footprints were left in the snow.

Xu Danxiu pinched the cloak, and only reacted half-loudly, this is Xu Jun's, and it is too late to chase again.

She returned to the house, sat down at the dresser and was stunned for a moment, then looked up to see a hairpin stuck in the bronze mirror on the black hair that had been removed from her headdress before going to bed.

When I pulled it out, it was a magnolia hairpin inlaid with gold and jade.

Xu Danxiu liked this hairpin very much in the past, because it was given to her by Xu Jun not long after he made a relationship with Xu Jun.

In a quarrel after marriage, it was broken.

Later, she didn't know where she was, she thought it was someone who put it away, but she didn't expect it to be in Xu Jun's hands.

Xu Danxiu pinched the hairpin and looked at it for a while, and finally put it under a box in front of the dresser.

……

Three days later, Xu Jun set out for the expedition, and Huo Qi, as the deputy general, had already started first.

Xu Jun sat on a horse, surrounded by people delivering letters. Some even shouted in the crowd,

"Old prince, take care and drive the barbarians out."

Soon, such voices merged into a torrent, and the black crowd fell to their knees.

Xu Jun grabbed the reins and threw his hand towards the people, he looked at the street behind him from a distance, and finally turned around and rode away.

Outside the ten-mile long pavilion, Xu Han had already sent Huo Qi away, and today, he saw Xu Jun off here, "May my father go here to win and return triumphantly." ”

Xu Jun nodded and turned away.

He never asked Xu Danxiu about it.

Now, it doesn't make much sense to ask or not to ask.

He had already said goodbye to her.

On the third day of Xu Jun's departure, it was the New Year, and everyone in the Chengen Mansion gathered together to prepare for a lively and lively New Year.

In the front hall, everyone has already arrived, and the eldest princess of Shuyang rarely goes out of the princess's mansion after the death of the old concubine, and she almost does not participate in such a lively scene.

"Go and call the son." Duchess Chengen instructed the maid on the side. "Hurry up, don't delay."

The young grandmother glanced at Duchess Chengen, pressed the corner of her lips with a handkerchief, and seemed to be smiling.

"Yo, the prince is also going to spend the New Year at home, it's rare, I thought I would go to the palace to accompany the concubine."

Coincidentally, Xiao Wei stepped in with one foot, glanced at the young grandmother lightly, and sat directly on the right side of Chengengong.

The eldest and youngest grandmother twisted her handkerchief and pursed her lips, seeing that Xiao Wei was sitting on the right as a matter of course, her heart was filled with old blood.

She bit her lip and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Duchess Chengen, "Okay, where are there so many words, let's start the banquet when everyone arrives." ”

The young grandmother could only swallow back the resentful words, and she was indignant in her heart!

This family is really, none of them have a kind.

Even if the old man died, the eldest princess was still there, but she was still there with a quail, and she didn't have half a fart.

There is no voice in the court, and even a wild seed who does not know the origin of the family is a blessing!

Xiao Fengzhen is even more useless, he wants to cling to the third prince and the fifth prince, but now one has been demoted to a commoner, waiting to be disposed of, and the other is locked up in the prince's mansion and can't do anything.

She pursed her lips, the eldest princess is very powerful, but now, who cares about her prestige, but this wild species has the most reputation!

She goes out to socialize on weekdays, and I don't know how many high-ranking ladies inquire about him.

The eldest and youngest grandmother is really laughing to death, according to the vision of the wild seed, there is a concubine behind her, the emperor, isn't it a fairy who can see it?

However, the eldest young grandmother glanced at Xiao Wei, and there were fewer high-ranking people who inquired recently.

are all crooked melons and cracked dates, either the family is very low, or they are insufficient, and they want to borrow the power of the eldest princess and the concubine.

She vaguely heard people mention it, saying that this wild species had a hot fight with a man, could it be that he really likes rabbits?

Or do you mean that none of those famous ladies can look down on them, so they give up on themselves?

If that's the case, you can go back to your parents' house and have a look, maybe......

This wild seed supports the long house, and the eldest princess loves him again, and I don't know how much inheritance has been given to him.

It's just that there is no husband and wife, and holding those properties is not a disadvantage to the nieces and cousins of the mother's family.

The young grandmother's abacus crackled, and Xiao Wei naturally didn't know it.

He sat on the right side of Cheng Engong, and the next sat a family in the second room, serving each other's dishes, saying this, asking some trivial things outside, and he was alone, as if an outsider, sitting there alone.

He just sat down for a while, then put down his chopsticks and said to Chengen,

"You guys use it slowly, I'll go first."

Cheng Engong calmed his face, put down his chopsticks, and looked at Xiao Wei,

"What are you doing? On Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone has a meal in one place, and you usually don't get there, just leave. ”

"It's still not your home?"

Xiao Wei looked at Cheng Engong and smiled meaningfully, "Second uncle, of course this is my home, but it is not the same as you." ”

"Don't blame my nephew for speaking badly, I'm sitting here, but it's hindering your family's peace. Why sit here and be wicked? ”

"It just so happened that my grandmother was also alone, and my nephew went over there to have a look."

After saying that, regardless of Cheng Engong's reaction, he turned around and left.

Cheng Engong's face was gloomy like frozen pool water, and he looked at Xiao Wei's back as he left.

The young grandmother loves to watch such a scene, and when she saw Xiao Wei leaving, she was excited, and her voice raised a lot.

"The son of the world is really nonsense, he can play with his temperament on such a day, what do you want to do? Isn't this a clear indication that we don't take our family seriously? ”

The eldest young master was displeased, "Shut up, you say so exaggeratedly, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to do it alone." ”

The young grandmother sneered, "You don't pretend to be less, you want brotherhood, but you also want others to take it." ”

"The prince is really unreasonable, the people who helped the rebel against the Huo family in the past, people who don't know still think that our Xiao family has dealings with the Huo family."

"Father, you have to take care of the world, otherwise, it will be our family that will suffer at that time."

The eldest young master didn't care, "You take it too seriously, aren't the Huo family rehabilitated now?" What's wrong with the people of the Huo family. ”

The eldest young grandmother hurriedly said, "That's Your Majesty's kindness, if it is replaced by the previous dynasty, can such a person be rehabilitated?" If it's a little related, it's going to be raided. ”

"Speaking of which, the son of the world is still because of a person, he does his own thing, and there is no constraint, if you want to say it, you should still tell him about his family."

"If you are tired of having a family, you are not afraid that he will mess around."

When Duchess Chengen heard this, she thought about it, and said that the prodigal son turned back, and Xiao Wei was also a gentleman, if she could really tell him a good family affair, blowing the pillow wind, who could know if this position would be on her son's head?

She said, "Master, Ah Wei wanders around all day like this, and he can't do anything when he has errands, or let's talk to my mother and the concubine." ”

"He is also in his twenties, and it is not good for the marriage to drag on like this, and those who don't know think that our second room has treated him harshly."

Cheng Engong touched the short beard on his chin,

"We can't talk about his marriage."

"His surname is Xiao. You are now the head of the family. Duchess Chengen said, "Of course, this candidate is to be decided by the mother and the concubine, and it is always us who can handle it for them." ”

Cheng'en Gong thought carefully for a moment, and it was indeed as Cheng'en Duchess said, so he said,

"That's okay, wait for me to go to my mother's place and tell her old man about it, you can also pick and choose, the daughter of this good family in the capital is dignified, and her appearance can't be too bad, pick it out, and then show it to her mother and the concubine."

Duchess Chengen responded in one bite.

The eldest and youngest grandmother is even more secretly happy, so that she can have the opportunity to go home and choose candidates.
