"Yan'er, why didn't you come to see your mother and your sister for more than a month?" Dou Mansion is located in the courtyard outside Chang'an City, and the mother who has begun to show her nostalgia is lazily leaning on the couch railing, holding Dou Yan's hand with one hand, and carefully looking up and down. "Look, they've lost a lot of weight."

"Mother, what are you talking about, the children are honestly staying in the house, but they have grown several pounds of meat, why do you still say that you have lost weight?" Dou Yan was a little speechless, his mother should not be short-sighted.

"Cheng said nonsense, your father is out on the expedition, and your mother is not waiting by your side, so it's strange that you can be fat." The mother was very stubborn that Dou Yan was thin, and Dou Yan naturally didn't want to destroy the warmth between mother and son for a few catties and taels of meat, so she had to laugh dryly and accompany the crime.

Next to her, the sister Dou Zhi was holding a piece of fine maltose, biting crisply, and a pair of apricot eyes were spinning. "Brother, why did you think about coming over today?"

"By the way, mother, the child is here today, but there is a great event, about the father's ......"

"Oh, what's wrong with your dad?" When the mother heard this, she couldn't help but sit up straight, and her face showed a trace of nervousness.

Dou Yan smiled and reported the good news learned from the mouth of the family at noon to his mother: "Early this morning, the captain Deng Gong reported to the court with the army, saying that his father led the army to guard Xingyang, which was originally to sit in the center to protect the grain of the soldiers and horses, and also shouldered the heavy responsibility of monitoring the soldiers and horses of Qi and Zhao.

After his father heard about this military situation, he left 50,000 troops to garrison Xingyang, personally led more than 28,000 foot cavalry, traveled 100 miles, broke the Qi and Zhao coalition army under Chen Liucheng, killed more than 10,000 enemies, beheaded several generals, and captured Zhang Ze, the general of Qi State, and more than a dozen officials of Qi and Zhao......"

"Your father isn't hurt, is he?" After hearing this, my mother couldn't help but be full of joy, but the first thing she asked was her father's condition.

"Father is naturally fine, mother, you just have to rest assured, after this battle, as for the Liang State is not broken, no one dares to wantonly attack the front line of Xingyang, and my father has already established a reputation with this battle." Dou Yan said happily: "At that time, I heard that my father only led less than 30,000 cavalry to attack the 100,000 coalition army of Qi and Zhao, and the child was also frightened. ”

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Listening to Dou Yan's eyebrows, Dou Zhi, who was originally specially dealing with the good maltose brought by Dou Yan, couldn't help but be attracted to it, and said with a look of fascination: "Father is really amazing, he really deserves to be a general." Isn't it? ”

"Hehe, you kid, your father is naturally powerful, don't you know, not long after the news of the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion came, the court discussed it, thinking that people were the commander to lead the army to raise the rear, some people cited Zhou Yafu, and some people cited the old general Luan Bu, but the people who recommended your father were the most, and they all felt that with your father's talent, you could be the commander."

At first, the Son of Heaven was still hesitant, and secretly asked Prime Minister Tao Qing, but the Prime Minister only said that King Dou and Sun could bear it. The Son of Heaven was still not at ease, so he went to ask your aunt and grandmother what she meant, and your aunt only said one sentence, in the eyes of her old man, this descendant is still in the clan, but you are the only one who can be in charge, and your father is the only one. Only then did the Son of Heaven decide to worship your father as a general. ”

"Mother, how do you know this?" Dou Yan was stunned for a long time and couldn't help asking.

The mother glanced at Dou Yan: "The mother also has some sisters, besides, it is about your father, how can the mother not care about one or two?" ”

Dou Yan scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's a stupid child, and it's not strange to look at your mother." ”

"Blame you for what you have done, by the way, these words, can the house be fine? It's true that this courtyard is quieter than living in the city, but your sister is making a fuss all day long to go back to the city, saying that it's too boring here, it seems that her daughter is older, and her mother can't take care of this girl. The mother patted Dou Yan's hand with a smile, turned her head, and looked at Dou Zhidao with a loving face.

"Mother, my daughter is just talking, hasn't she always been here obediently with you?" Dou Zhi's little face turned red, and she pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly. "Besides, there is only one brother in the house, and it is not reassuring."

"Yo, girl, think about me so much? It's really rare. Dou Yan had an old and relieved expression, which provoked Dou Zhi's fan fist. Mother, you see, my brother bullied me again. ”

"Okay, okay, didn't you beat him up and get angry, don't make trouble, and you, I make trouble when I see your sister all day long, I don't have the demeanor of an eldest brother, I really don't know how your father taught you."

Dou Yan smiled: "I came here today, firstly, to report the good news, and secondly, if my mother and sister are tired of sitting here, then let's go back together." ”

"Okay, okay, it's too boring to be idle here anyway, mother, what do you say?" Dou Zhi smiled with joy, completely forgetting that he had just lost his temper with his brother.

"This girl, I called for a long time before I came to ask my mother, I really have no conscience." The mother pinched the pink face of Dou Zhi angrily and turned around. "After coming out for more than a month, my mood is much better, and now that I have heard the news of your father, my heart is also solid, and it is time to go back and do something."

"Oh yes, there is another small thing, the child has not had time to report to his mother before, and I hope that his mother will not blame him." Dou Yan's eyes rolled, and he said cautiously with a smile.

"What's the matter, isn't it because when my mother is away, what bad things have you done?" The mother caressed the abdomen that was already pregnant, and glanced at Dou Yan with a smile.

"It's not true, it's just ......" Dou Yan's eyes rolled, fell to the side, and also stepped into the hall housekeeper Uncle Bao, the old and slippery housekeeper Uncle Bao naturally understood. Madam, in fact, it's not a big deal, it's that the prince of Zhou, Li Gao, has always been not on good terms with our son, and a few days ago, he actually wanted to be unfavorable to our son, so he sent some people to the house......"

Hearing this, the mother who was originally smiling couldn't help but change her color suddenly: "What?!" Yan'er, where are you hurt, that bastard, what's wrong with my Yan'er, you actually dare to send someone to the door, is there a king in the Han ......?"

"Mother's anger has been extinguished, those people have been captured by the family in the house, and now even the prince of Naqu Zhou, Li Gao, is also imprisoned in Tingwei Prison." Dou Yan was also startled when he saw his mother's reaction, and hurriedly patted his chest to show that he was unharmed.

The mother looked at Dou Yan very uneasily, and asked the housekeeper for the reason, Uncle Bao had already been instructed by Dou Yan, so he naturally did not dare to reveal Dou Yan's injury, and after some perfunctory, the mother came back to her senses. "Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise, how would my mother explain to your father."

"Mother, don't worry, the child will be careful when he leaves the house in the future, and he will not worry about his mother again." Dou Yan's heart was hot, and he said with a deep bow.

"Okay, get up, just remember it yourself, save the time, break your father's heart, that's your own. You know? The mother helped Dou Yan up, pointed her finger on Dou Yan's forehead, and said in a low voice.

"Ah, the boy knows." When Dou Yan heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that his mother finally stopped dwelling on this issue.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

The mother turned her head and told Dou Zhi to take the housekeeper and the subordinates to pack the luggage, but left Dou Yan in the hall, and after pulling Dou Yan to sit down, the mother's eyes became a little mysterious: "By the way, Yan'er, now that your father is not here, I have something to tell you for my mother." ”

"Mother, why do you want to avoid the girl? Hey, mother, what are you doing? Dou Yan couldn't help but arouse her curiosity by her mother's actions. He lowered his voice very cooperatively, and the ghost was reverent.

"Stinky boy, my mother has something to say to you, do you need to be so pretentious?" The mother withdrew her hand hatefully and said angrily.

"Hey, isn't this here to cooperate with you, boy?" Dou Yan is very hippie and smiling. In exchange for a white eye from my mother. "When it comes to your sister-in-law, you naturally have to let her avoid it."

"Oh, what's wrong with her, girl?" Dou Yan couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"That, by the way, I heard your sister-in-law say that Chen, the eldest son of your uncle Tangyi, is going to perform a crown salute, right?" The mother glanced at the door, and lowered her voice a little.

"yes, hey, how did she know, girl?" Dou Yan's heart jumped. Obediently, shouldn't that beast be afraid that he won't take his sister to go and come to the countryside again?

"Your sister-in-law said it a few days ago, saying that Chen Xu had told your sister-in-law earlier, and when it was time for him to give the crown...... "The mother leaned into Dou Yan's ear and muttered.

"Mother, you mean ......" Dou Yan's eyes suddenly bulged, and he looked incredulous. If you don't think about it, I can't imagine that my sister actually hooked up with Chen Xu in the dark, hmm...... It doesn't seem appropriate to say this, it should be said that the girl doesn't seem to be disgusted by Chen Xu's admiration for her.

"When your father left, I also told your father, but your father didn't object, just said that everything had to wait for him to return to Chang'an. But you are friends with that Chen Xu, and you also know him very well, so ah, my mother thought about it, I have to give you a clue about this matter, and I want to hear your opinion on that Chen Xu. ”

"This ......" Dou Yan couldn't help but have a big head, it was about his sister-in-law, but the problem was that the sister and the two of them seemed to be looking at the mung bean, as for the population of Chen Xu, Dou Yan did understand, but when he thought that his sister had to get married, Dou Yan couldn't help but feel a little distressed. Mother, my sister is not yet fifteen, why are you in such a hurry. ”

"What's the hurry? It's a shame for you to say something like that. When my mother first married your father, she was sixteen years old, and your sister was almost fifteen. When the mother saw Dou Yan's disapproving expression, she couldn't help but be angry, and her eyes widened and she said angrily.
