Section IV

Wu Ming was dumbfounded, but it was difficult to open his mouth if he wanted to explain. Could it be that he was busy saving Simon? Or go to Persia to treat his aunt? This is said, with the curious nature of children, they must chase after it and ask for clarification, I am afraid that it will be endless. Even if you explain sincerely, he may not understand or appreciate it. Fortunately, He Yi didn't let her husband continue to be embarrassed, and Cihe's voice sounded in the carriage at the right time: "Siting, didn't my mother say it earlier?" Daddy is in a hurry, why don't you listen. ”

With the scolding, He Yi's familiar face poked out of the car curtain. Wu Siting was still a little stupid: "My mother knows that I love my father, and if I have a father, I don't want children." ”

Is this kid still jealous? Wu Ming felt even more funny, and hurriedly touched his head and said, "I'm sorry Siting, it's my father this time, next time I go out, I will definitely notify you in advance, okay?" ”

The son has a sense of honesty, which is a good thing, after all, he is getting older day by day, and he has to face his opinions and requirements. This kind of thinking may be a little unreasonable for people in this world, but for Wu Ming, who has been systematically educated on the earth, it is very natural.

After all, Wu Siting is less than five years old, he complains about his father, but it is not what Wu Ming thinks, what sense of honesty is nothing more than a coquettish to attract the attention of adults. As soon as he saw his father apologize, he became happy again, leaned on the car window and nodded his little head and said: "Okay, next time my father goes out, remember to tell me that you have to bring me gifts, my grandfather and grandmother bring me a lot of gifts every time they go out, but it's beautiful." ”

After finishing speaking, he seemed to be at ease again, stretched out his white and tender little hand and said: "Come and pull the hook, my grandfather said that if you pull the hook, you can't go back, otherwise you will have to cut off your ears by the moon." ”

This little guy, I'm afraid I'm worried that I didn't bring him a gift when I went out. Wu Ming couldn't help laughing and hooked up with him, Wu Siting just gave up, retracted the carriage, and gave the space to his mother He Yi.

Wu Ming looked at He Yi for a long time, smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm a little fatter than before." ”

Seeing a large number of people coming to greet him, He Yiben was a little reluctant, and was about to say a few kind words, when he heard Wu Ming say this, he touched his face and exclaimed: "Yes, are you really fat?" "It's like it's a terrible thing to get fat.

Wu Ming hurriedly said: "I said it wrong, it's not called fat, it's plump and better looking than before." ”

He Yi breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at him: "Flim tongue." She lamented: "Being kept in captivity by my parents in Shacheng every day, can I not be fat." ”

is also in captivity, it seems that Xiaoyi has been very turtle recently, otherwise he would not say this. Wu Ming couldn't hold back a smile in his heart and said: "Even if you are fat, there is nothing wrong with it, the dough is kind, isn't it more like the Holy Mother?" ”

Knowing that Wu Ming was playing tricks on her, He Yi was no longer fooled, but said: "No, I will lose weight after giving birth to a child." By the way, don't be stunned, introduce your sisters and sisters. ”

When she said this, her fair face also had a little narrowness. Wu Mingxi went to Gehan, not only cured Zhu Yuqing's illness, but also abducted the princess of Persia to Tingya. She is Wu Ming's first wife, such a major event, Wu Mingfu returned to China and the West, and when he invited her to come to the court, he wrote the cause and effect clearly in the letter, so He Yi was not surprised.

Wu Ming pulled Zhu Yuqing, who was standing beside him, and said softly: "Xiaoyi, this is Xiaoqing, the two of you should be very familiar, but you have never met for various reasons, so I won't say anything." ”

The two looked up at each other, both of them were dumbfounded and speechless, for a long time, Zhu Yuqing took the lead in saluting: "Sister He is good!" ”

She is actually older than He Yi, but He Yi married Wu Ming before her, if it is really calculated according to this, she will not dare to take advantage of her sister's style.

He Yi was stunned again, and hurriedly said: "Sister Zhu, you are older than me, isn't this killing me?" ”

Zhu Yuqing opened his mouth, and was about to say more, but He Yi suddenly smiled: "Brother Wu once said that my cousin is very similar to me, although there is an uncle as proof, I will be suspicious, and I always feel that this is just an excuse he is looking for." When I saw it today, I realized that what he said was true. Sister Zhu, you don't know, when I first met you, I thought that Aunt Chen had moved our mirror. Still wondering, why am I so slender with a big belly? I almost screamed and made a joke. ”

She used the blood relationship between the two to talk about seniority, Zhu Yuqing didn't want to say anything, she looked up at He Yi, and said softly: "Thank you, Sister He." ”

This thank you is abrupt, but both of them are extremely smart, so I don't know why, they tacitly understand each other, and they both smile slightly. Looking at Zhu Yuqing's face comparable to Hua Jiao, He Yi felt a burst of emotion in his heart. I vaguely remembered what my mother said to her: "Be a good woman, usually let you Sister Qing." ”

In Sun Yunni's eyes, everything has to be fought for, and what she said about let mean that He Yi gave Zhu Yuqing compensation in a small way under the position of the eldest woman. And He Yi has been a virgin in recent years, has been in a high position for a long time, and has made great progress in receiving things and treating things, and has a more thorough understanding of human feelings. A woman naturally does not want to share her husband with others, but if it has become a reality, she must grasp the degree of it. The tree is a big wind, and this truth makes sense everywhere. She has given birth to her eldest son, and now she is pregnant again, and her status in the inner room of the wolf tent in China and West is unmatched. If she occupies the position of the eldest lady again, what will the court think, and what will the rest of the family think?

Looking at Zhu Yuqing's slightly grateful face, she smiled slightly. On the surface, the marriage between China, the West and the Northwest is very perfect, but it is secretly dangerous. The biggest hidden danger is the suspicion from the imperial court, a governor who occupies almost half of the country, will Nanning be taboo? But if you let Zhu Yuqing become bigger, it will be a different matter. This is to send a clear signal to the Jiangnan Shi clan headed by the prime minister, that is, Brother Wu's heart is still towards Nanning and the imperial court, and he has no idea of becoming a king.

And Sister Qing and Brother Wu have been together the longest time, and with his nostalgic temperament, it is impossible to favor one over the other. If he forcibly fights, even if he gets the position of this eldest woman, it can only make Brother Wu feel more guilty about Sister Qing and disgusted with himself.

Give up this false name, Brother Wu's guilt will only be passed on to me, and Sister Qing will be inexplicably grateful. In this case, why should I fight?

Zhu Yuqing was also laughing, but there was a hint of gloom in his smile.

With his gentle nature, he really doesn't care about this false name, but not caring doesn't mean he doesn't need it. She and Wu Ming spent the longest time together, but they didn't show anything. In Nanning, it was also rumored that Wu Ming was suffering from a dark illness and could not get pregnant. Wu Ming laughed at this. In the former Commander's Mansion, she was alone in the backyard, and others chewed their tongues, although she was a little panicked, but it was not a mess, but what if she had a three-room wife?

Looking at He Yicihe's delicate face, she smiled again, but there was more bitterness in her smile. Even if he doesn't care, Ah Ming doesn't care, but other people care, those subordinates of the Commander's Mansion who graduated from Nanning Academy, and those generals led by Yang Yi and their personal guards, they care. Once they give up the position of this big woman, I am afraid that what will be released to them is a signal that they have fallen out of favor, and they will inevitably have other ideas. And his father, the Queen Mother, was already suspicious of Ah Ming, so he would think that he was ambitious and hoped to connect with the northwest and become an independent kingdom of his own.

So this big woman position, she really needs it, even if she doesn't want to, she has to fight for it. She was still thinking about how to explain the benefits to He Yi, but she didn't expect the other party to let it so simply. so much so that it was difficult for her to let go.

That's it, I owe you, Sister He. She murmured softly in her mind.

Wu Ming is majestic on the battlefield and has unparalleled strategy. But when it comes to emotional intelligence, it's really useless. It was known that two similar and intelligent ladies had secretly clashed once. Seeing the two of them smiling sweetly, he was very happy, and pointed at Esther and said, "Xiaoyi, this is Esther." ”

Every move between Zhu Yuqing and He Yi fell in Esther's eyes, don't look at her usual cheerfulness, but the elves are eccentric, and their IQs are not necessarily weaker than the two. Although she didn't know what the two of them were thinking, with a woman's intuition, she also knew that the truth was not as simple as she imagined. As soon as she heard Wu Ming call her, her heart sank, and she hurriedly stepped forward and smiled sweetly: "Sister He is good." ”

He Yi pursed his lips and smiled: "Don't call my sister and sister short, maybe I'm younger than you." Esther rolled her eyes and said, "You are the Holy Mother, I am the Holy Maiden, and the Holy Mother must be older than the Holy Maiden, isn't it?" So I didn't suffer a loss when I called your sister, and I took advantage of it. ”

After she made such a fuss, everyone laughed. He Yi also laughed and panted, and waited for a while before pushing the boat down the river and said: "In the letter, Brother Wu is full of praise for Sister Esther, saying that you are smart and generous, lively and cute, and you don't have a princess frame. ”

She leaned against the window of the car, looked Esther up and down, and sighed: "It's really graceful, no wonder I was fascinated by Brother Wu." Speaking of this, she turned her head towards Chen Qifeng and said, "Aunt Chen, take out the clothes given to the princess." ”

Chen Qifeng agreed, turned over from the camel cart, held the white package that had been prepared a long time ago, and handed it to Esther with both hands. Esther was a little dazed, and said expectantly: "Sister He, why are you doing this?" ”

He Yi smiled slightly: "Although everyone is serving Ah Ming, Sister Esther has come from afar, she is a guest, and when we meet for the first time, we as the hosts must prepare some gifts for our sister." I thought about it, but I couldn't get my hands on the tailor, so I made a few new Han clothes for my sister before leaving, I hope you can like it. At the same time, I also hope that my sister will treat this place and Tingya as a real home. ”

Esther held the package, speechless for a while, but her heart was a little pantothenic, she remembered her dead mother. He Yi's move did not include the elements of showing goodwill. But the Deadwood Monk is a generation of grandmasters, and it is difficult for him to be difficult for others, if he is asked to thread the needle, it is really a bit reluctant. So from childhood to adulthood, except for the queen mother who has passed away, there is really no second person who has sewn new clothes for Esther. And no matter how much the Persian queen falls out of favor, after all, after all, there are too many things to be busy with, so who can make new clothes for her daughter? So in Esther's memory, there are only a handful of clothes that the queen mother made for her.

The package is very clean, with a little soap horn fragrance on it, and it is obviously very well preserved on the road. Esther held the package with her left hand, rubbed it lightly with her right hand, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Sister He." ”

Although the smile this time was not as sweet as just now, it was more sincere. He Yi looked at it and smiled: "What do the family do when they say so many kind words." ”

Esther was a Persian princess and a former saint. This kind of identity, even if the word "Zeng" is added, it is a bit scary after all. But He Yi couldn't let it anymore, because she was the head of a sect, and Esther was just a saint.

Doctrinal disputes have always existed in ancient and modern times. He Xiaotian's establishment of the Bailing Sect and the integration of the hearts of the people in the three northwestern provinces were on the one hand, and there was no purpose in resisting the infiltration of Persian doctrine. The Cult of God is too powerful, and the holy land is in Yundu in the central and western regions, and its northeastern part is bordered by Nanping in the three northwestern provinces. It is out of reach of the Persian whip, otherwise, I am afraid that the idea of hitting the West and the Northwest would have been hit a long time ago. Rao is so, after years of infiltration, the temple still has many believers in the northwest.

If He Yi is wronged, she can agree, and the thousands of sect members under her will not agree. So Esther's sister, she responded to it as she could.

Seeing that the family was happy and far from the expected tension, Wu Ming also relaxed, and continued to introduce to He Yi: "This is Xiaoqing's personal girl Liu Hui, Xiaohui, come and see the second lady." ”

When Wu Ming was imprisoned, Xiaohui was able to make friends with him, although this little girl was still the same Xiaohui as before, but her heart had changed. Although she still thinks of herself as a subordinate, she really regards herself as a woman of Wu Ming, not a vassal of Zhu Yuqing. So Wu Ming is good, she is happy from the bottom of her heart. The family and everything is prosperous, the three housewives are polite to each other, the whole family is harmonious, Xiaohui saw it in her eyes, smiled from ear to ear, heard Wu Ming call her, she was taken aback, stood up with a red face, and said with a red face: "The second lady is good." ”

Ordinary concubines, it is rare to show up on such occasions, and it is impossible for the man to introduce it solemnly. This not only surprised Xiaohui, but also surprised He Yi. Fortunately, she was very alert, her surprise only flashed on her face, and then she was normal, nodding and smiling: "Sister Xiaohui, my sister has heard of you, Brother Wu praised you for your diligence and virtue in the letter, and you can do it tightly." ”

When the two met in the bottle kiln last year, Xiaohui was just an ordinary maid in Wu Ming's heart, even if she mentioned it, she had brought it, so she might praise it? However, He Yi has become an adult, since Wu Ming specially introduced, at least this girl has some weight in her heart, and she doesn't mind telling a little lie, in order to have a good relationship with this girl.

Although Xiaohui is not stupid, when it comes to scheming, she is the opponent of this Holy Mother of Bailing. This second lady is kind, far from being hateful as she imagined, thinking that she had suggested to the young lady to compete with her, her heart was even more flustered, and even her voice trembled: "The second lady praises me falsely, just call me Xiaohui, the word sister, the maid really dare not be the maid." ”

Seeing that it was endless, Zhu Yuqing didn't want Xiaohui to be embarrassed, so she took out the demeanor of an eldest woman and said: "Sister He is still pregnant, it's freezing this day, it's not good to be cold." Everyone has to be idle, and it's not too late to go home. ”

Wu Ming said: "Xiaoqing said very much, let's go." ”

Although it was winter, today was a good day, and the bright sunshine fell from the sky, and the jasper spread over the city like a colorful glow, covering the court teeth with a golden coat. In this quiet and cold winter, this tent city exudes a warm spring atmosphere, which is a little more charming.

Wu Mingben took a personal guard, plus more than a dozen of He Yi's entourage, and the number of people surged all of a sudden. The family marched all the way to the Governor's Palace. Although he had always kept a low profile, when the people saw the governor driving, they dared to argue, and they scattered one after another, and it was not long before they arrived at the door of their homes.

The tent group of the "Governor's Palace" is still separated by a fence outside, which is a world of its own. And in front of the tent with three entrances and three exits, people were surrounded like a military camp. The two guards pressed their fast swords and stood at the door with solemn expressions. Zhu Yuqing stood in front of the door, and when he saw Chen Qifeng helping He Yi down, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Sister He, please." ”

Nearly eight months pregnant, He Yi's belly is already very large. With a big belly on his slender waist, he looked like a huge peach hanging from a weak peach branch, which made people worry that he might fall at any time.

He Yi looked up. It was midday, and the winter sun was still shining brightly, although it was not strong. Under the scorching sun, although the gate in front of him is simple, it also has a brilliant golden glow. Her eyes widened, she glanced at the tents behind the door, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Sister Zhu, there are so many tents inside, I am new to it, in case it is not good to get lost, you should lead the way." ”

Both of them are smart people in Bingxue, Zhu Yuqingyan couldn't hear the humility in He Yi's words, so he took a step forward and helped He Yi and said, "Let's go, Sister He, I'll help you in." ”

I saw two identical wives holding hands and walking in step by step. Wu Ming looked at it, but his heart was warm.

No matter how low his emotional intelligence is, he can see the humility of the two at this time. These two women not only have the same appearance, but in their hearts, they are not half a catty. Wu Ming was also nervous before, afraid that the two would not get along well and make a fuss in the backyard. No matter how heroic the governor of China and the West is, he can't resort to force in the backyard, and when the time comes, he will be so anxious that there is nothing else to think about except a wry smile.

Fortunately, they are both unusual women.

A woman is virtuous if she is not talented, and she is just an ordinary woman. A truly talented woman will know how to advance and retreat, and know the gains and losses. will put herself in her husband's shoes, have a strong sense of the overall situation, and understand what can be fought for and what cannot be fought for.

It is said that behind a successful man, there is a successful woman, if there is a group of successful women behind him, what will happen?

He shook his head and smiled, pressed this slightly stinky fart pride in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug He Yi's other side, and said, "Xiaoyi, be careful!"
