In the court, whether Gaochang is the main battle or the main defense, it becomes a pot of porridge.

The British Mansion was solemn.

In the main hall, the British duchess said solemnly: "Regardless of whether the court is fighting or defending, your father needs your help very much right now." Since Crimea dares to lead troops to make a surprise attack, he naturally will not wash his hands after tasting the sweetness once, and the current border defense is the time when people are needed.

"Brother Chi, Brother Lan, tomorrow your brothers will go to ask for a decree and go to Jiayuguan to help fight with their father and defend the country."

Zhang Chi and Zhang Lan solemnly accepted the order.

Zhang Tan hurriedly said: "I also ask for war with my two younger brothers." ”

"No." The British Duchess said, "You are the son of the world, before your father left, he entrusted the entire British Mansion to you, and now is not the time to be rash." ”

Zhang Tan saw that his mother was resolute, so he had to give up.

Zhang Lan hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Mother, where is the Huang family......"

The British duchess sighed and said with pity: "Don't worry, tomorrow my mother will invite the official media to come to the door to propose marriage, and I must give this family matter before you leave Beijing." ”

"No, mother, that's not what the child meant." Zhang Lan hurriedly said.

The British Duchess was stunned for a moment and asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”

"After the child is ready to return to Beijing, he will go to Huangfu to propose marriage." Zhang Lan said with a smile.

The British Duchess immediately changed her face and said sharply: "Before you set off, how can you say such bad words?" Return in peace! I will definitely come back safely! When you come back, your mother will personally organize a grand wedding for you and Miss Huang, so that the whole capital will come to congratulate you! ”

Zhang Lan's eyes were red, and he bowed down and said, "Thank you, mother!" ”

The British Duchess also had red eyes and said, "Good boy, don't be afraid, your father and brothers will protect you!" ”

Zhang Chi patted Zhang Lan's shoulder, with a heroic look of "the third brother covers you".

Zhang Lan grinned, but comforted the British duchess: "Mother, this is not the first time I have been on the battlefield, please rest assured." ”

"Good, good!" The British duchess nodded again and again, "Mother don't worry." ”

After everyone's emotions calmed down a little, Zhang Lan said again: "Mother, the reason why the child wants to go to the Huang family to propose marriage after returning to Beijing is not because he is worried about the blessing and misfortune, but he doesn't want the Huang family to worry about it like his mother."

"And Miss Huang is still young, and it's not too late to get married again a year and a half later."

She was the one he had decided to spend his life with, so from now on, he wanted to spoil her and didn't want her to worry about herself.

When the British duchess heard this, she sighed with relief: "Brother Lan has really grown up. ”

More and more responsible, and more and more considerate.

"Okay, mother listens to you." The British duchess smiled, "Then, tomorrow you will go to the Huang family to say goodbye to Miss Huang, so that you will not have time to suddenly leave that day, and you won't even have time to say goodbye." ”

Zhang Lan nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you, mother." ”

The British duchess nodded with a smile, and then advised: "Remember to explain the reason, lest the girl of the other family do not know what to do, and wait for the matchmaker to come to the door to propose, thinking that you have changed your mind and then marry another family." ”

In the end, it's already a joke.

Zhang Lan blushed embarrassedly and bowed his head in response.

……

On the second day, after the invitation was played, Zhang Lan and Zhang Chi went to the military headquarters again, and as soon as they arrived at the gate of the mansion, they saw that Zhang Xi was already waiting for him in the carriage.

"The coachman has something to leave, please ask Brother Lan to take me to Huangfu." Zhang Xi lifted the curtain and smiled at Zhang Lan.

Zhang Lan smiled and said, "It's an honor." ”

With that, he jumped into the carriage, grasped the reins, and with a whip of his horse, the carriage spun on.

Da Chun heard the door, opened the door and saw that it was Zhang Xi, so he hurriedly smiled and greeted him.

Zhang Xi said with a smile: "Today, the coachman is on leave, and Brother Lan specially rushed to see me off." I talked to Sister An for a while, and then I was going home. Go and tell the word. ”

Da Chun glanced at Zhang Lan and hurriedly went in to pass the word.

After a while, Huang Yi'an greeted him in person.

"Since he is Sister Zhang's younger brother, he is also my elder brother, the family doesn't have to be so rigid, please come in quickly." Huang Yi'an smiled generously.

Zhang Lan's heart was hot, and he hurriedly bowed his hand.

Huang Yi'an returned the salute with a smile.

Zhang Xi pursed his lips and smiled, grabbed Huang Yi'an, beckoned Zhang Lan, and went to the inner courtyard.

The Wang family is at home, and the two of them have to go to ask for peace first.

During the conversation, Zhang Xi mentioned that Zhang Lan was about to go to Jiayuguan, and Wang was suddenly shocked and asked: "The border pass is already so urgent?" ”

She only heard Huang Wei sigh a few times and the court was arguing about whether to fight or defend Gaochangguo, it turned out that the situation at the border was so tense, did she need the British government to send someone to support?

Zhang Lan hurriedly replied with a smile: "Not really." It's just that my father and second brother are stationed at the border gate, and as sons and brothers, my third brother and I want to help. ”

did not mention the matter of the Krimu that was about to move, so as not to make the king suspenseful.

Rao is like this, and the Wang family still told Zhang Lan: "You brothers have filial piety, this is good." However, the border is bitter and cold, and the sword has no eyes, you must take care of yourself, and you must also help the grandfather of the country to beat back the group of thieves who invaded the border passes and robbed the border people, so that they will never dare to violate the border again! ”

Thinking of his parents and family who died at the hands of the rogue, Wang couldn't help but redden.

"Thank you, Madame, for your teachings, I have written them all." Zhang Lan solemnly thanked him.

Wang nodded with satisfaction and said, "I still have something to do here, so I won't leave you." ”

After that, he instructed Huang Yi'an: "Sister Xi, entertain Miss Zhang and the fourth young master for me." ”

Zhang Lan gave a deep salute gratefully, walked out of the main room with Huang Yi'an and Zhang Xi, and went all the way to the flower hall.

"Amei, you go to the kitchen and prepare some snacks." Huang Yi'an instructed Amei.

Zhang Xi glanced at Lan Xin and ordered, "You also go and help." ”

Lan Xin promised and went out with Amei.

Zhang Xi got up and paced to the door to stand.

Zhang Lan glanced out of the door, got up and saluted Huang Yi'an, and said, "I'm going to say goodbye, I don't know when I'll be able to return." Therefore, I specially asked my mother to postpone the proposal, and when I returned from the border pass, I would officially invite the media to come to the door to propose. ”

Huang Yi'an returned the salute, unspeakably worried, and asked in a low voice: "Is the situation at the border so urgent?" ”

In the previous life, Crimea also harassed the border at this time, but the imperial court did not send reinforcements, but only ordered the British Duke to lead the soldiers of the three armies to guard the Jiayu Pass to prevent Crimea from leading troops to invade the hinterland.

The two sides fought several times, and seeing that he could not break through the defensive line laid out by the British, he turned south.

The north-western frontier was able to regain tranquility.

Zhang Lan wanted to hide it from Huang Yi'an, but seeing her serious and worried face, he couldn't say anything perfunctory.

Miss Wong is so smart and extraordinary, how can she be treated the same as ordinary women?

"There has been no movement yet, but my father speculates that the Crimean will not retreat with a single blow, but he is afraid that there will be a backhand." Zhang Lan said, and briefly mentioned the situation in Gaochang to Huang Yi'an.

Huang Yi'an frowned and pondered.

In her previous life, she was so busy with the election that she paid little attention to other things. Soon after that, the palace issued an edict to make her queen, and she didn't have the heart to pay attention to other things.

However, since the border was finally peaceful in the previous life, and the British prince and his sons were also safe and triumphant, I think there will be no major changes in this life.

"Even so, you don't have to delay the proposal." Huang Yi'an hesitated for a moment, and finally lowered his head and whispered.
