Zhang Jiujiu put the dishes on the table, and then took off his apron. Xu Wei lifted the wine jug and poured a glass for her, and said with a smile: "Come, let's have the first Mid-Autumn Festival, and we have to have a drink no matter what." ”

September smiled like a flower, and after sitting down, he picked up the wine glass and touched it with Xu Wei, took a small sip lightly, and smiled even more: "It's a pity that my father-in-law and uncles and brothers are all in different places, otherwise it would be lively when they all gather in one place." ”

Xu Wei nodded, who said no, the old man went to Shandong to suppress thieves, but in fact, he avoided trouble. It is said that the results were remarkable, but the pace of Gao Shiyu's expansion was too fast, and the whole of Hebei, except for the Daimyo's Mansion, fell into his hands. Shandong was close to Hebei, and the troops stationed there were misused in the two southern invasions of the Jin army, and suffered heavy losses. After the old man finished suppressing the thief, he sat in Dongping Mansion, was in charge of Shandong's military affairs, and stepped up military training.

Thinking about it, Xu Wei suddenly "tsk", and when Zhang Jiu saw it, he asked, "What's wrong with the official?" ”

"Mid-Autumn Festival, I don't want to do business, I accompany the lady wholeheartedly." Xu Wei took out a piece of shortbread from the gift box given by Hu Maochang and handed it to the lady. In the Song Dynasty, there was no large-scale popularity of eating moon cakes, the forbidden and wealthy families like to eat a kind of "palace cake", the folk called "moon group", Su Dongpo has a poem "small cakes chew like the moon, there are crisp and Yi", it is this kind of shortbread.

Zhang Jiujiu lived like a subordinate in the past, so he married into the Xu family and still maintained his frugal nature. You see her eating shortbread, holding it in one hand and taking it under her mouth with the other, taking a small bite and tasting it carefully, and she seems to be very content.

Xu Wei took a sip of wine and looked at his wife pleasantly. When the sky is getting dark, the full moon has risen, the cool breeze in the courtyard is blowing, and the lonely insects can't help but start singing happily, and occasionally the cicadas and insects who are not to be outdone make a few noises, and they can't hear the annoyance, and they are full of joy.

In the previous life, I took the risk of eating on the rivers and lakes, and in this life, I was often in the rain of guns and arrows, and it was rare to have such a calm and happy moment. Xu Wei didn't take two sips of wine, but he couldn't help but feel a little dizzy, and asked softly: "Lady, are you still used to coming to Dingrong with me?" ”

With a smile on her face, she found that her husband had eaten the grapes without washing them, so she took the fruit bowl to the well in the courtyard to fetch water, and replied while cleaning: "The husband sings and the wife follows, and I will follow the officials wherever they go." ”

"Don't you think it's hard?" Xu Wei asked again.

"The official said stupid things, didn't he? When I was a teenager, my parents were gone, and it was like the sky was falling. Later, when I came to my uncle and aunt's house, it was still not as good as my own home. After a few years, I got used to it, I was angry, I always thought that I might be this fate, and I couldn't complain about others, I didn't want to defend myself, and I didn't want to fight back. It wasn't until later that the officials went to Hefu, hey, do the officials remember the first time you and I met? Zhang Jiujiu washed the grapes, put them back in front of her husband and asked with a smile.

How could Xu Wei forget? The first time they met, it was when the third uncle wrote a letter to summon him to Beijing, and he was in front of the third uncle's mansion at the time, so he Shuying met him and sent someone to invite him to He Mansion as a guest. At that time, I had a good impression of September, thinking that she was knowledgeable and generous. It's just strange, since it's He Shuying's cousin, how can she be like a girl. Only later did I know the suffering.

At the moment, a few family treasures said: "The first time I saw you was in the market, the second time I saw you washing clothes, and the third time I saw you feeding horses." ”

Zhang Jiujiu was suddenly moved, she really didn't expect that her husband Rong Ma was handsome and still remembered this. said with a smile: "Don't hide it from the officials, the second time you came to Hefu, you talked to your wife for a while, that was the first time someone talked to me like a gossip, and it was a man, or a court official." After you left, I thought about it for a long time, just to determine if it was true. ”

Xu Wei couldn't help but feel distressed, and still smiled on his face: "You still say stupid things about me, aren't you stupid?" The big living person stands in front of you, cheekily accosting you, and you still suspect that it is a dream? ”

In September, when he rarely looked like a child, he shrugged his nose and said with a smile: "Later, when the officials came to He Mansion for the third time, we chatted for a long time in the stable. At that time, although I didn't dare to think about it, I always looked forward to it in my heart, looking forward to when you would come again. At this point, he paused, took a breath and exhaled, and then said, "I am looking forward to it, and I am looking forward to becoming your lady." When she said this, the happiness on her face moved Xu Wei.

"It's not what you want, but I'm determined not to marry you!" Xu Wei is colorful.

When September heard this, a pair of phoenix eyes also became crescents, and the stone bench on the ground couldn't move, otherwise, I really wanted to get close to him.

"Since my father and mother died, although I am in my aunt's house, I am under the fence. Now, when he came to Dingrong with the officials, he had his own home. This house is renovated by me, and the household items in it are also personally selected by me, and the melons and fruits in this courtyard are also cultivated by me. A woman's family, I have already obtained everything I have asked for in my life, and I am better than others. So, how can it feel hard? ”

Xu Wei didn't know whether he was moved, or how, he played with the wine glass and was speechless for a long time. After a while, he suddenly squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Lady, what women ask for in their lives, you seem to be less?" ”

Zhang Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was about to speak. I heard the clanging of the side door, who is so blind, it's a big holiday, the yamen doesn't do anything, you find the Zhijun's house? Xu Wei took a sip of wine and said to the lady: "Ignore it, no one will pay attention to it today." ”

Zhang Jiujiu nodded, lifted the wine pot to pour wine for her husband, the glass was not full, and she heard a woman's voice outside: "Ninth brother, brother and sister!" ”

Xu Wei's eyes lit up! This is...... The voice of the fourth sister-in-law! Just as he wanted to get up and open the door, September was already in front, and he quickly ran over to open the door to take a look, who was standing at the door, who was not Xu Sheng and his wife? Xu Wang's family is now Mrs. Zhizhou, but she still maintains the Xu family's diligent and thrifty style, but there are just a few more hairpins on her head. Wearing a green Luo skirt, she grabbed the hands of her younger siblings.

"Fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law, quick, please inside." Zhang Jiujiu was very happy, and pulled his sister-in-law and walked inside. Xu Sheng was dressed in cyan straight, with a gauze hat on his head, a gold belt around his waist, and he was also walking in with a smile on his face. There were also a few small guys behind, carrying some gift boxes and other things.

Xu Wei greeted him, and before the words came out, he asked his sister-in-law to hold him, looked at him from head to toe, and sighed: "Poor and pitiful, the ninth brother is at home, and his food and clothing are taken care of, and he never cares about half distraction." Now that he is a knowledgeable army, he has also lost weight and become dark. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt wrong, and hurriedly smiled at his younger siblings: "It's not that yours is not, he is tired of getting on the horse to manage the army and the people when he gets off the horse." ”

Xu's mother was born in her early life, Xu Wei was raised by Xu Wang's family, and this eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, so she naturally cares more than others. Zhang Jiujiu didn't mind, and asked her to sit down after pulling her sister-in-law.

"Fourth brother, why did you suddenly come to Dingrong?" Xu Wei stepped forward and asked with a smile.

Xu Sheng pouted at the Hun's family: "It's not your fourth sister-in-law, don't worry about your husband and wife." If you want to come and see, I'll just say, the newlywed Yan'er, just the little couple is crowded together for a holiday, what are we going to bother as brothers and sisters-in-law? ”

When Xu Wang heard this, he smiled at Xu Wei and said, "Your fourth brother is hard-mouthed, and he doesn't nag from time to time." said that Dingrong's affairs are complicated, and it is close to Hedong, and I don't know if the ninth brother can be calmed down, in fact, he is more than I think, but he is entangled in some mundane affairs and can't get out. ”

Xu Wei laughed, pulled his brother to sit down around the table, Xu Sheng looked at it, everything was available, and laughed again: "It's a shame that your fourth sister-in-law even brought all the wine and food, it seems that without her, the ninth brother can't even eat." ”

At the moment, the brothers and concubines gather in one place, hold the lantern to admire the moon, and talk about wine, which is really happy. A little later, Zhang Jiu and Xu Wang entered the room to say some private words between women, leaving Xu Si and Xu Jiu to continue to eat and drink in the courtyard.

These two, one is the governor of Tongzhou, and the other is the Dingrong Zhijun, both of which are important members of the pastoral side. But he took off his gauze hat and opened his shirt, just like the brothers in his childhood, and from time to time he made two punches.

"Lao Jiu, you led the troops to the river, but it really made me pinch a cold sweat. At that time, I heard that the third division of Jingzhao sent someone to investigate, but I didn't dare to mention it to your fourth sister-in-law, for fear that she would worry about her. Or do you have the means, and you are stunned to smooth things out. Xu Sheng said with a snort of wine.

Xu Wei leaned on the melon shelf, exposed his chest and abdomen, and hummed: "If it's a matter of the side, I don't care about him." But this situation in Hedong was created by how many brothers I folded. If the big handsome is so engaged, if Li Zhi is pressed, it is likely that the whole situation will collapse. That's why I had to return the color. ”

Xu Si took a glass and smacked his lips: "Yesterday I went to Huazhou Shuaifu, guess what Qu Dashuai said?" He said that I was in a loose discipline with the state soldiers, and asked me to rectify it within a time limit. Hey, the original garrison of the forbidden army in the same state has not been smoothed, and it is inevitable that there will be bumps and bumps with the locality. Just such a thing, should you summon me to Huazhou to give a lecture? ”

As soon as Xu Wei heard this, he secretly thought that Qu Dashuai was deliberately embarrassed by our Xu family brothers? Just thinking like this, I heard the fourth brother say again.

"Yao Pingzhong was also called, and I believe you know Yao Xiyan's temperament. Qu Shuai just reprimanded him for conniving at his subordinates to harass the place, and this guy fell in love with the big handsome, and finally made a very unpleasant scene. When he went out of the city, Yao Pingzhong also told me, how can the boss send such a person who doesn't like anyone horizontally and vertically to be the commander? ”

Hearing the fourth brother say this, Xu Wei felt relieved. Qu Dashuai was anxious to suppress Shaanxi, and he was anxious to make achievements. But it's no longer right to be in a hurry, and the way he uses it is even more wrong. If you have sinned against everyone, who will set up the scene for you?

"Li Xuanfu is probably really inconsiderate in this matter." Xu Weidao.

Xu Si shook his head: "Xuanfu Xianggong can't help it, I heard that Qu Duan used to be in Jingyuan and was his deputy to the eldest brother." You and I know what kind of temper the eldest brother has, he is heroic and upright, generous and tolerant. But he still had a lot of trouble with Qu Duan, Xuanfu Xianggong had no choice but to fight, Qu Duan fought with the party members, which was an outstanding achievement, so he took advantage of the new creation of Shaanhua Road to help him and make a slight pacification. Who would have thought that this would be a misery for you and my brother? ”
