Cheng Jinrong and his father talked until late at night, and then they each rested.

Before dawn the next day, He Qi got up and stayed.

He came to the border to replace his father Pingguo Gong in charge of the border army. It is by no means an easy task to be the chief general of the border army. Ping Guogong planned to return to Beijing a year later, and spend a year to familiarize He Qi with the situation of the border army and smoothly take charge of the border army.

He Qi didn't want to wake up his wife and children, and his movements were very gentle. However, as soon as his feet hit the ground, a familiar voice sounded in his ears: "Are you leaving so early?" ”

He Qi hummed and turned his head to look at Cheng Jinrong, who was sleepy: "I will go to the barracks with my father-in-law today and come back in the evening." You must be very tired after three months of traveling, so you can sleep a little more and get up again. ”

Cheng Jinrong did feel tired, nodded, closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

After He Qi got up, he went to his father-in-law Cheng Wang's house.

Cheng Wang also got up on the fifth watch, and at this time he had finished washing and changing. Weng and his son-in-law hurriedly ate breakfast and rode to the barracks together.

In this room, Cheng Jinrong slept until three o'clock in the morning.

Shiso opened the thick curtains, and bright sunlight poured into the room.

Cheng Jinrong took a deep breath, and the cold air unique to the border pass penetrated into his nose.

She has been in the palace for several years, and she has also lived in the palace for several years. Always be cautious when walking, sitting, and lying down. In the Pingguo Mansion, although she is comfortable, she is not as good as this moment.

This is her home.

"Mother, you're finally awake!" The energetic Ah Yuan Aman brothers couldn't hold back for a long time, and rushed into the house together: "We've been up for a long time. ”

"Mother, we want to go around our new home."

Cheng Jinrong pursed his lips and smiled: "You two wait a while." Mother washes and dresses, and takes Saburo around our new home with you in a while. ”

Ah Yuan corrected very domineeringly: "It's with us and the third brother." ”

Aman nodded in agreement: "That's right. The third brother is still young, how can he be in front of us. ”

Cheng Jinrong: "......"

Cheng Jinrong changed his words with a smile: "Okay, my mother will take you and San Lang for a spin." ”

Ah Yuan Aman was satisfied.

Cheng Jinrong quickly dressed and freshened up. Shisu brought breakfast with a smile: "Before dawn today, the cooks came back with fresh mutton and boiled a pot of soup." Put some coriander and drink a bowl of full-body comfort. Ah Yuan and Aman drank two bowls today. Madame also tasted it. ”

Cheng Jinrong smiled and hummed.

A big bowl of hot mutton soup went down to the stomach, and the whole body quickly warmed up.

The mutton at the border is really the best.

After Cheng Jinrong was full, he took his three children around the house.

The border pass has vast land, and the houses are also sparse in many ways. This three-entry house is the same size as the four-entry house in the capital. There are no rockery pavilions in the garden, and there are not many delicate flowers and plants, but a lot of various hardy trees are planted. There is also a large open space.

If you look closely, it's not an empty space either. In winter, the grass is withered and yellow.

"In the spring, it's a little meadow." Cheng Jinrong smiled with interest: "You two can practice horseback riding and archery here!" ”

Ah Yuan Ah Man snorted and happily turned his head twice.

San Lang couldn't walk yet, clapping his little hands in his mother's arms, kicking his little fat legs again and again, and giggling.

Cheng Jinrong pursed the corners of his mouth and laughed.

The stuffiness that had accumulated in my heart for years was swept away.

……

Settle down clothes and luggage and other things, and have their own shiso to lead the maids busy.

Cheng Jinrong, who had recovered most of his mental and physical strength, led the three brothers to meet Lu Huiniang and Brother You.

The two houses are separated by four streets, and in a carriage for two quarters of an hour, the horseback ride is even faster, and a stick of incense can be reached.

"Mother, are we going to see my grandmother and uncle now?" Ah Yuan asked curiously, "Is the little uncle younger than me and Ah Man?" ”

Cheng Jinrong responded with a smile: "Yes." Uncle is three years younger than the two of you. Don't bully him, brother. ”

Ah Man straightened his small chest: "Mother, don't worry!" We must take my little uncle to play. ”

That's a nice thing to say.

Cheng Jinrong was still not at ease, and told him again and again. Until the two brothers rolled their eyes impatiently: "Mother is really getting more and more chattering." ”

"Forget it, you and I bear with me. I heard that women are so verbose when they get older. ”

Cheng Jinrong: "......"

These two stinky boys!

Cheng Jinrong couldn't cry or laugh, and glared at the two brothers. Ah Yuan and Ah Man looked at each other, made a grimace together, and laughed.

The carriage stopped.

Cheng Jinrong took the children out of the carriage, and before he could stand firmly, a beautiful and hearty young woman had already led a child forward, and her voice was full of joy: "Jinrong, I knew that you were in the town yesterday. I originally thought that I would see you after you settle down and rest for two days, but I didn't expect you to bring the children here today. ”

This young woman is none other than Lu Huiniang.

Lu Huiniang is six years older than Cheng Jinrong, and she is two in her Chinese New Year's Eve. At this age, it is not young for a woman. However, since they got married, she and Cheng Wang have been in love with each other, and their lives are comfortable and smooth, much younger than women of the same age.

Cheng Jinrong was also full of joy when he saw Lu Huiniang: "I am a junior, so naturally I want to meet my elders first." ”

Ah Yuan said in amazement: "My grandmother is so young and beautiful. ”

"yes, my grandmother is so beautiful." Aman chimed in: "Much younger and better looking than our great-grandmother." ”

The two brothers are not big, and they always like to learn from adults to talk, which makes people want to laugh when they listen to it.

Lu Huiniang snorted and laughed: "This is Ah Yuan Aman!" When I left the capital, the two of them couldn't walk! In a blink of an eye, they have grown so big. ”

Cheng Jinrong glared at his sons with a smile: "Come over and meet your grandmother, speak respectfully, and don't be rude." ”

Lu Huiniang said with a smile: "Tong Yan is unscrupulous. Ah Yuan Aman praised me for being young and beautiful, and I was very happy in my heart. How can this be considered presumptuous. ”

Then he said to Aman Aman, "Let's go first and salute again." My grandmother has also prepared a gift for you. ”

Ah Yuan Aman was very happy when he heard the gift.

My grandfather gave them two ponies and asked a craftsman to make a custom horn bow for them. I wonder what my grandmother will give them?

Cheng Jinrong also had no choice but to take a pair of naughty sons, so he smiled helplessly: "Both of them grew up beside their great-grandmother since they were children, and they were used to being naughty and bold. ”

Lu Huiniang pursed her lips and smiled: "Boys are all the same." Brother You is also very active and naughty. I take him one every day, and I have a headache. ”

smiled at the boy next to him: "Brother You, come and see your sister." ”

Brother You'er, who was less than four years old, stepped forward, saluted with his little fist, and asked in a milky voice, "Are you my sister?" ”
