Chapter 323: The Son is Big and Sorry
"Border Emergency! Border Emergency! General Wei Qing defeated the Huns and won the 400th level! ”
On the streets of Chang'an, a knight in bright red armor flew by, and Hongling, who was carrying four red flags, hurriedly held a token, and passers-by on both sides took the initiative to get out of the way and let the messenger pass. ≥
Liu An walked back from Dongshi with his wren cage, and glanced at the distant Hongling envoy and shook his head: "Winning the four hundred level is also a big victory?" ”
Passers-by whispered: "General Wei has finally achieved success, I heard that this trip out of the fortress is not easy." ”
"Which one is easy? It's easy to sleep at home, but the problem is that no one cares if you eat enough, and it's not easy for anyone to come out and work hard. ”
"Hey! Don't talk nonsense, I said that the Northern Army has been out for more than two months, how can you step on this? It doesn't seem right. ”
"Who said no, in the past, there were 6,000 or 8,000 killed, and the Huns were all killed by us, and the Hun slaves captured from the north trembled like lambs to be slaughtered, and it was only a long time before the Huns began to their tails again."
"If you want me to see that the Huns are indisciplined, there will be a big future like the Marquis of Pingyang to treat them......"
"Shhhh You don't want to die, that person can't just say it. ”
Several of their voices suddenly turned lower, and they looked around sneakily, as if they were afraid of being caught by the secret agents hiding in the corner, and when their eyes swept to Liu An, he hid under the shade of the tree and let them go, Liu An patiently waited for a while and then came out, and those people had already disappeared.
"Doesn't look right!" Liu Anxin put away the birdcage and walked home, and a few neighborhood friends who often drank tea and chatted came over to talk, and the words revealed the trend of inquiring about the news of the imperial court. He also knew that there were always people in Chang'an who served in the army with their relatives, and the 100,000 horsemen of the Northern Army ran out of the border to fight the Huns. When relatives want to say not to worry is impossible.
This has little to do with which general leads the troops, it is purely the concern of the elders for perfection. No matter which general commands, they must try their best to find out the news of the imperial court, especially the war report sent by Hongling urgently to Chang'an, and the secret report sent with it is customary to write down the detailed losses, which is the major matter that the residents of Chang'an are most concerned about.
Liu An hurriedly coped with a few words, and when he returned to the Hou Mansion, he saw his wife, eldest son Liu Qian, and daughter-in-law Ding chatting with his daughter Liu Ling.
"Ling'er! You can remember that there is a Hou Mansion in Chang'an, and your father and your mother are afraid of you all day long, so you don't know how to understand the feelings of our two old people. ”
"Okay, okay, don't talk about the kids. It's not easy for Ling'er to come back. ”
His wife's persuasion made Liu An dispel his intention to continue preaching, sat down and remembered what he encountered on the street and asked: "Just now, I urgently reported that Wei Qing won and beheaded more than 400 levels, do you think there will be any action in Longxi County?" ”
"Ah, General Wei has won! The child doesn't know much about the border passes, but he only knows that the generals of the Han army are all powerful. ”
Liu Qian complained dissatisfiedly: "My sister's own family should stop playing Tibetan words, isn't that okay?" ”
A few eyes fell on Liu Ling's impeccable expression, and Mrs. Hou immediately lowered her face and reprimanded: "How can you kid say this about your sister, there are a few people in our women's family who understand border customs and military, don't embarrass your sister." ”
"Mother, don't blame my brother. He was also anxious for a while, the child had been in Longxi County for a short time, and he didn't know much about the progress of the situation over there, so he didn't think there was a big mistake. Liu Ling's ambiguous response was impeccable. The two women nodded their heads, but in fact they didn't say anything.
Liu An sighed and said, "You kid has had the right idea since he was a child, and I don't want you to do anything." When I had that idea, you clamored to share my worries and solve problems, and the little doll, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, ran to the deep pool of Chang'an, the capital of Beijing, to stir up the wind and rain. As a father now, I am still surprised at how bold you were at that time, and if you miss the slightest mistake, your innocence and life will be gone. ”
"When did Daddy become sentimental. Don't mention the old things, I live a good life now, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, I don't lack a confidant or a life goal, this kind of life is what I dream of. In a short moment, Liu Ling's eyes burst out with the desire and expectation for a better life.
Liu Qian snorted and said angrily: "It's that person again, you are smart all your life but planted in the hands of such a yellow-mouthed erection, do you lose or not?" ”
"Recently, I heard from my mother that my brother reined in the precipice and reformed his ways, and he didn't miss Flower Street Willow Lane for more than half a year, I think it's my sister-in-law who has good control over you, and my mother's consolation is appropriate, father, do you say that's the case?"
Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Ding of the prince turned their eyes at the same time and glanced at Liu Qian fiercely, the latter shrank his body in fright like a little quail and did not dare to move, wanting to glare at his sister and being frightened by the two patrols, his eyes seemed to be scanned, but he was motionless like a mud fetus and a wood sculpture.
Liu An shook his head, the eldest son Liu Qian has never been a worry-free child, and people who are almost thirty years old still don't have the appearance that a serious Hou Shizi should have, if it weren't for Liu Ling's regular monthly payment to the Hou Mansion every year, just because he maintained the prince's lavish spending habit at that time, the Huainan Hou Mansion would be defeated by him in less than twenty years.
Obviously, the poor life of the Hou Mansion has attracted the attention of the Hou Mansion and Mrs. Hou Shizi, who are in charge of the accounts in the house, and the biggest deficit comes from Hou Shizi Liu Qian himself, and half of the money spent is sent to the flower street and willow lane in Chang'an City and the unknown place where the outer room is hidden.
Liu Qian's heart was bitter, first he was grounded for three months and couldn't get out of the Hou Mansion, and then he had to be stared at by a bunch of maids and maids when he left the Hou Mansion, and even his mother and wife took turns to ride in the car to keep an eye on him, as long as he saw him drill where he shouldn't go, it would not take long for him to make a big fuss in the fat powder field and make Liu Qian lose face, and it had to be said that it was a miracle to rely on this means to force the dignified Huainan Hou Shizi to be unable to move.
"Sister Ling'er doesn't know, your brother has been performing very well for almost a year, and the princes and princes will also invite him to attend the gathering every three or five times, and the queen mother will feast the children of the clan every month, our Huainan Hou Mansion is qualified to sit in the front row for the high gate in the clan, and Daddy is one of the nine Qings, and your brother can also show his face on such a big occasion."
Ding's chatter talked about the banquet half a month ago, and specifically said that he saw the Son of Heaven in Changle Palace to toast the Queen Mother in person, wishing the Queen Mother a healthy 50th birthday next month, and thousands of children of the clan told the Queen Mother of the Republic how spectacular the scene was.
Liu Ling gushed from his sister-in-law Ding, it is impossible for the sister-in-law and sister-in-law to have no hook between the Dou family, when their family was still the king of Huainan earlier, the sister-in-law Ding was a puffed bag, the crown prince Liu Qian spent all day drunk and drunk, and he didn't care about the love of the husband and wife, and his father-in-law Liu An was thinking about seeking the dynasty to usurp the throne and become the emperor of the Han family.
Now the status of the family has decreased a lot, but Ding's status in the family has greatly improved, at least her ancestor is also a founding prince, coupled with the intrigue in the family house that she has honed over the years, she has smoothed out all the stumbling things in the family, and Liu Ling also admires her methods for this.
After a while, Liu Qian couldn't stand his wife's small talk and got up to say goodbye, and Ding was forced to follow his husband to get up and leave, and when he left, he didn't forget to take Liu Ling's hand and say that he was free to continue to talk about new things in Chang'an.
"Your sister-in-law doesn't have a bad heart, don't take it to heart."
Liu Ling wrinkled his little nose and said angrily: "Mother, what are you talking about?" Does the daughter look like a weird person? ”
"Yes, my family's Ling'er has the most kind heart, let's not go to Longxi County after listening to my mother's words, okay?" Mrs. Hou took her daughter's hand and said.
"Mother, don't embarrass your daughter, there is a daughter's sweetheart in Longxi County."
Mrs. Hou lamented: "What does the silly child think? If it is an unmarried man of appropriate age, even if he is poor and has no food and clothing, he will desperately support you to marry him, but that man is a family man, his hair-tied wife is the eldest princess of the dynasty, and his little lady is the eldest sister of Mrs. Wei, who is the most favored by today's son, and it will not lead to good results for you to fall in love with that man. ”
Liu Ling frowned deeply, shook his head lightly and said: "The daughter you said understands everything, but the daughter thinks about him every day and every night, mother, you don't know how many times I almost died in South Vietnam, especially when I was sick and had a high fever, it was he who stayed in the barbarian tribe to take care of me to recover, if he hadn't taken me to the jungle to save my life, my daughter's life would have become a cup of loess in the jungle." ”
"The stupid child is saying stupid things again, my mother is looking at the bitterness of your life, worrying that your life is not good, I think you are twenty-two years old this year, and half of your youth has passed, how many years can you wait for a few years? The daylight flies by in a blink of an eye, your father and I are both old people, and there are not many years to live a good life, your younger brothers and sisters at the age of fifteen or sixteen said that good people get married, and you get married, and your father and I are most worried about your child, what should I do after I have a strong nature? ”
Mrs. Hou's eyes flashed with tears, and people said that her son was inaccurate, and she felt that this was not accurate, and it should be that her children were inexplicable.
Liu Ling took his mother's hand and said: "Father, mother, your worries and daughters know that their daughters are coming back this time to tell the two old men that he is finally going to fight for his life, and his daughter's beautiful life is all pinned on him.
