He was an orphan who grew up in a barracks, he never met his father, and his mother died when he was seven years old, throwing him there.

There were many orphans like him in the barracks, most of whose parents had died in battle.

It was an era of war, five dynasties and ten countries, and the heroes were divided.

He went to war at the age of twelve, killed many people, and suffered many wounds, but he was luckier than many people, at least he came back alive from the battlefield every time.

Later, he met a general surnamed An, who said that he was the son of an old man, so he took him with him, and the general had no heirs, so he regarded him as a parent, taught him to arrange his troops, and also taught him to go into battle to kill the enemy.

He quickly went from an obscure soldier to a centurion, a thousand-commander, and then a lieutenant general.

The general accepted him as his adopted son, helped him, and promoted him, and everyone recognized him as the successor of Anfu, and even the officials at that time began to slowly value him.

Until that year, his father-in-law was seriously ill, and when he was dying, he confided the truth to him, and his father-in-law and his father were comrades-in-arms who were friends of life and death.

But the last time, because of his father-in-law's misjudgment, his father was imprisoned, and his father-in-law knew that even if he went back to save him, he would only die, so he escaped.

Facing his father-in-law who was so kind to him, An Yuanxiu heard such news, and his heart was full of mixed feelings, it was his father-in-law who gave him the only fatherly love in this life, but it was also his father-in-law who cut off his father's life, and his mother was seriously ill because of this.

After the death of his father-in-law, he resolutely decided to leave Anfu, and decided to have nothing to do with Anfu, he took leave from the official family and went to Jinling alone, because his father-in-law said that his father's ancestral home was in Jinling.

He didn't think that a trip to relax because of a sudden change would make him meet a girl he never forgot.

People who grew up in the barracks have fantasized about women, but they have never touched it, and they have never even thought about starting a family, because they feel that they will die on the battlefield one day, and what will they do to harm other good girls.

An Yuanxiu also thought like this before, there were colleagues and married people around him, every time he talked about the ladies in the family, he felt that it was very troublesome, it was better to eat and drink with his brothers, and at that time An Yuanxiu felt that it was very troublesome to marry a wife and have children.

But when he looked at him from afar in the market that day, he remembered the girl who ate the candied fruit at a glance.

It was a cold day, but the girl was thinly dressed, rubbed her hands together to her mouth, and her eyes lit up after seeing the candied fruit on the side of the road, and she first looked left and right, and then carefully put it in her mouth, which was very cute.

At first, he just thought it was funny, but suddenly it rained heavily, and he met the girl in front of the shop, and the girl under the eaves was shivering, and he couldn't bear to see it.

Next to the girl happened to be a ready-to-wear store, he jumped out of the carriage and braved the rain into the shop, and when he came out, he had an extra brocade cloak in his hand, and he thought that meeting twice in one day was a fate.

He stuffed the brocade cloak into the girl's hand before he could speak, but when he saw the girl raise her head in shock, it was the first time he had looked at the same girl so closely.

He smiled at the girl, but the girl seemed to have seen some kind of flood beast, and her frightened eyes made him frown.

He didn't say a word, turned and left, got into the carriage, he lifted the corner of the cotton curtain and looked out, the girl holding the brocade cloak with a bewildered face, the moment he was about to throw it, his heart tugged, and then the girl didn't know what to think, stomped her foot in annoyance, and ran away with the cloak.

That look was like stealing something from someone else.

He looked at the girl's back and frowned tightly, she ran home like this, it was easy to get a cold.

He thought it was just an inconspicuous episode in his life, but since that day, he has often contemplated the image of the girl, wondering if she would be sick when she returned home that day, wondering if she was wearing the brocade cloak, and wondering if she remembered herself.

After tossing and turning, he wandered around the market every day, thinking that he would meet her again, but he never saw her again.

Later, the official family summoned him back to Beijing, and he had to leave for it, he didn't know who the girl's name was, where the family lived, and he didn't even have a clue to look for it.

After returning to Bianjing, the official family intended to marry him, but he refused in the name of filial piety for his father-in-law, but only he knew that he never forgot the girl who only had one side.

In the past two years, he has also met many girls with outstanding family backgrounds, but he himself doesn't know what he's waiting for, knowing that it is impossible to meet that girl again, a Bianjing and a Jinling, thousands of miles apart, there is no hope of seeing each other in this life, but he just feels that he will wait, wait.

God did treat him well, but that day, he passed by the western suburbs and picked up a girl on the ground, who he had been thinking about for two years.

He couldn't believe his eyes, and thought she was dreaming, and the girl had fallen asleep all night, and he had kept watch all night, and the last time she had left with her brocade cloak and not put it on, he knew that she was a very polite girl.

He didn't dare to be presumptuous, for fear that she would be unhappy when she woke up, and that night, he stood guard outside the carriage, and for the first time felt so satisfied.

The girl was astonished when she woke up, and he was glad that she remembered him, and she remembered only once.

He asked the girl where she belonged and what her name was, but the girl seemed to be deliberately guarding against him, and refused to reveal it, and even refused to let him send her back to the house.

Coincidentally, the girl's third sister married his good brother, and on the day of the wedding, he knew the girl's identity, and after that, he was naturally ready to propose, he waited for this day for more than two years, but he didn't want to wait any longer.

Her name is Xie Qinghan, and she is the second girl of Xie Mansion, a timid and cowardly concubine, this is what outsiders say about her.

But he didn't care, he himself was an orphan who grew up in a military camp, and even if the daughter of a scholarly family married him, he was wronged, but he didn't expect Xie Fu to be very satisfied with this marriage, and agreed to it.

He was pleasantly surprised, but also apprehensive.

Later, the girl asked her third sister to meet him and asked him why he wanted to marry her, and he was finally able to say what had been buried in his heart for two years.

In the second year of Taiping Xingguo, the tenth day of November, it was the day of their wedding.

He married the girl who made him toss and turn and never forget, but he also understood that he married her because he had her in his heart, and she married him because of his parents' words of matchmaking, but what he had was patience, he could wait slowly, wait for her to fall in love with him.

After getting married, he got to know more about the lady, and he gradually understood the reason for her timidity and cowardice, and also felt sorry for her weakness.

There are three girls in the Xie Mansion, the eldest girl has the appearance of the city and the preference of the elders; The three girls have a smart mind and the status of a concubine.

Only his mother, born to a little mother, has no appearance, no talent, and no wisdom.

Later, he also asked himself if it was just because of the illusion of a hurried glance back then, that he had an obsession with his mother for two years, but after he got to know her, he found that he still loved her.

She is not stunning, but her eyebrows are clear; He has no great talent, but he has read some books, and he is better than him; There is no ingenuity, and there is no intention to harm others.

For An Yuanxiu, this is enough.

She is cowardly, because her aunt is just a little lady who is suppressed by the housemother, her father doesn't hurt, the housemother doesn't love, and even the old lady is partial to the big girl, in Xie Mansion, it can be said that she has nothing except Zhou Xiaoniang, and Zhou Xiaoniang is a character who refuses to take the lead in everything, and she is naturally timid and afraid of things.

An Yuanxiu often thinks that the reason why the lady is cowardly and afraid is because no one can protect her and help her when something happens, can she not be afraid?

He is just an ordinary person, so he married an imperfect lady, sometimes the lady will do some foolish things, but it doesn't matter, he knows that she has no bad intentions, even if she wants to fight for herself and A-Niang, she has no intention of harming others.

He is not obsessed with her two years ago, but the belief that he still wants to accompany her for a lifetime after knowing and being familiar.

Now, they have two sensible sons, Brother Heng and Brother Yi.

In his life, he has gained very little in terms of family affection, but with her, he has a family, which is not many people, but it is harmonious and warm, there is no dispute in the big family, only the affection of each other.
