In the second year of Tongzhi (1857). Early February.

Li Zhen led two regiments of soldiers out of Nanjing and rushed towards Guangzhou. The entourage included Yang Luchan, Dong Haichuan, Smith, Yang Banhou and other generals, as well as Zhilan and other family members. Li Zhen left Nanjing and took Zhilan away directly. If Zhilan is allowed to stay in Nanjing, Li Zhen's heart will definitely be unstable.

Only by placing all the children in Guangzhou can Li Zhen rest assured.

After all, Guangzhou is Li Zhen's lair.

The army marched south, and when it arrived in Guangzhou, it was already March. Because Guangzhou is located in the south and is different from the Central Plains, the climate here has long been warmer, and the weather is already slightly hot.

Li Zhen led the army to arrive, and after the news reached Guangzhou, it was immediately transmitted.

Li Zhen entered the city, and the people rushed to welcome him.

After the news reached the Admiral's Mansion, all the family members in the mansion were also overjoyed. After such a long time, Li Zhencai returned to Guangzhou, which touched the hearts of countless people.

The encounter at this time was definitely a great joy for the Admiral's Mansion.

Admiral's Palace, the gate.

At this time, a team of people is waiting.

At the head was a woman with a beautiful face and a graceful face, holding a child in her right hand. The child has a tiger's head and a tiger's brain, and he is extremely strong, only about a year old. Behind the woman, there were several other women. Among these women, a tall and plump woman with blonde hair and blue eyes also led a little girl who was extremely delicate.

This little girl has black hair, two pigtails, big blue eyes, a high nose, and a fleshy little mouth muttering, which is extremely cute. Behind this woman, there were several women, almost all of whom were women. There is only one man, and he is an old man who has already given birth to gorgeous hair.

The woman at the head squatted down, looked at the child, and said, "Xiao Ping'an, you want to call uncle, do you know?" ”

"Yes!"

The little boy blinked his eyes and said, "Uncle, there is candy to eat!" ”

"I have candy too!"

After the little boy spoke, the little girl standing behind him also spoke.

"Poof!"

The woman standing at the front suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, Xiao Ping'an has candy to eat, and Xiao Nian also has candy to eat." This woman is Li Zhen's sister Li Xiaotong, and the child standing next to Li Xiaotong is the child of Li Xiaotong and Wang Xiaoyang.

The blonde and blue-eyed woman behind Li Xiaotong is Gu Lina.

When Li Zhen left Guangzhou, he had a spring breeze with Gu Lina, and a successful shot made Gu Lina pregnant. Gu Lina was pregnant in May of the fifth year of Xianfeng and gave birth to a girl in March of the sixth year of Xianfeng. Gu Lina missed Li Zhen, so she gave her little daughter the name 'Xiao Nian'. Now, Xiao Nian has just turned one year old and is more than a year old.

Although Gulina gave birth to a daughter, she regarded it as a treasure and loved her very much.

In the whole house, Xiao Nian is the pearl of the palm.

Except for Gu Lina, Zhou Xiuying and Alice sisters did not move. Behind Zhou Xiuying, there were still Liu Taiping and Liu Die, Liu Die was also holding the child, and Liu Taiping looked expectant.

"Da! Da!! ”

There was a sound of horses' hooves, and a man was riding a horse.

This person is Qi Zhenhai, he rushed to the door of the Admiral's Mansion and said respectfully: "I've seen the eldest lady!" ”

Li Xiaotong asked, "Where is my brother?" ”

Qi Zhenhai replied: "The marshal has settled the soldiers in the army, and in half an hour, he will arrive at the Admiral's Mansion." As soon as these words were spoken, the women in front of the Admiral's Mansion became excited. Gu Lina, in particular, was even more excited. After such a long time, Li Zhen is finally back. The passage of time minute by minute seems extremely slow for Li Xiaotong and Gu Lina.

A few minutes felt like a century.

When the two carriages appeared in everyone's sight, everyone's hearts hung up. The carriage stopped outside the Admiral's Palace, the curtain was lifted, and Li Zhen strode down.

At the same time, Zhilan also walked down with her two children.

Li Xiaotong walked down the steps, led Xiao Ping'an to Li Zhen's side, and quipped: "My younger brother went to Beijing and became a well-known auxiliary minister in the world. ”

Li Zhen smiled: "Sister, I don't dare to forget you!" ”

Li Xiaotong laughed, and at this time, a childish voice came: "Uncle, give candy to eat!" Xiao Ping'an looked up at Li Zhen, his big black eyes blinked, and his baby's fat little hand stretched out and spread out in front of Li Zhen, with a serious expression.

Li Zhen was stunned for a moment, because he didn't prepare candy. Fortunately, Zhilan prepared it, Li Zhencai took the candy and handed it to Xiao Ping'an, saying, "Come, uncle will give you candy to eat!" ”

Obviously, he saw that this was Li Xiaotong's child.

"Uncle, give me a candy too!"

Suddenly, a crisp voice came out, but it was Xiao Nian who saw Xiao Ping'an stretching out his hand, and he also stretched out his hand decisively. She took Gu Lina's hand and looked at Li Zhen with blank eyes. As soon as these words came out, Li Zhen looked at Gu Lina, his eyes full of astonishment. Because he clearly saw that it was the child led by Gu Lina, this should be his child!

Gu Lina immediately explained: "Xiao Nian, if you change your name to Daddy, how can you call Uncle?" Quick, shout Daddy! ”

Xiao Nian shook his head and said seriously: "My cousin called my uncle to have candy to eat, and I also called my uncle to eat candy." As soon as these words came out, everyone present laughed. It's just that Li Zhen's heart is sour, this is his daughter! Li Zhen squatted down, spread out the candy in his hand, and said, "Xiao Nian, call Daddy, Daddy has candy in his hand to eat." ”

"Daddy!"

Xiao Nian shouted, reached out and grabbed the candy in Li Zhen's hand, not afraid of being tired of being in Li Zhen's arms.

Li Zhenlang laughed, picked up the child and said, "Let's go, let's go home!" ”

At this time, Li Zhen's eyes were already moist.

This is his root! Li Zhen returned to the hall with a group of people, and Zhilan took the two children to the backyard and handed over the space to Li Zhen, Gu Lina, Li Xiaotong and others. Although Zhilan and Li Zhen also get together less and leave more, they can still see each other often, but Gu Lina and the others haven't seen Li Zhen for nearly two years.

Li Zhen hugged Xiao Nian and asked, "Sister, what is the child's name, brother-in-law?" ”

Li Xiaotong said: "The child's name is Wang Ping'an, and your brother-in-law hasn't come back yet." ”

After a pause, Li Xiaotong said again: "Brother, although your daughter is only a little more than a year old, she is an elf ghost!" With her, my little peace was bullied to death. ”

Li Zhen laughed and asked again, "Gu Lina, what is Xiao Nian's name?" ”

Gulina said: "There is only one nickname, wait for you to come back and take the big name." ”

When Li Zhen heard this, he suddenly fell into deep thought.

After a while, Li Zhen said: "Sister, I don't think Xiao Nian's name needs to be ranked according to generation, it's called Li Nian." ”

Li Xiaotong said: "You are the head of the family, you have the final say." ”

When Li Zhen heard this, he decisively decided on Xiao Nian's name. He looked at the child eating candy in his arms, his heart was ethereal, he had no other thoughts, he just wanted to spend more time with the child.
