Pian Pian stayed in Cuibai Garden and talked to Jin Niang for a while, and when she saw the tired look on her sister-in-law's face, she said goodbye and left.

Later she walked around the garden for a while.

In the garden of Hezhou in the cold winter, I also know that there will be no flowers. In fact, it was as if it had been abandoned. And because it was in the backyard, no one would come, so it was really clear for a while.

It was at this moment that Pianpian completed another sublimation of cognition.

No matter what, a girl with self-esteem and self-love, who knows the rules and etiquette is worthy of love. She will be such a girl in the future.

Pian Pian made up her mind, and then Li Hehui, who thought that he would be able to hold the beauty soon, was stunned.

Because no matter what excuse he makes, he won't see Pianpian. And the gift specially given to Pianpian, the slightly eye-catching and out-of-the-ordinary gold-inlaid ruby corolla, was actually sent back by Pianpian.

It was not directly sent to him, but passed through Jin Niang's hand and was sent back by Jin Niang's maid.

Li Hehui's depression can be imagined.

He didn't understand, but after one night, the girl who looked at her yesterday and had opened her mind and drilled out of her horns, and was full of admiration for herself, why did she change today as if she was a different person, and ignored her love?

It can't be said that she loves to answer and ignores it, but it can only be said that Pian Pian has changed from a little girl who doesn't pay much attention to etiquette to a "little old-fashioned".

How good is that?

Li Hehui is simply big-headed.

He is also smart, and he didn't need to think much about it to guess that the matter was still due to the fact that he pulled Pian Pian into the room yesterday and talked.

He admits that he didn't do it right, and he just wants to see her a little more and be alone with her for a while. As for the rest of the pickled thoughts, he didn't dare to have them, and he wouldn't have them, for fear of tarnishing Pianpin.

At that time, he couldn't help himself, but now he has eaten the bitter fruit of belated.

But this can't be blamed on others, it's blamed on him for seeing Pianpian, and his eyes were full of her. Otherwise, he couldn't do such a wrong thing and let Pian Pian "alienate" him again.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in this world, even if Li Hehui's intestines are blue, it won't help.

And now, he can only be glad that there are only two elders in this family, Shi Heng and his sister-in-law. The two of them know a lot about his character, and they shouldn't mistake him for a prodigal son. Otherwise, if Xu's father and mother were in front of him, he was afraid that he would be treated as a hungry wolf and beaten out with a stick.

Li Hehui sighed, so far he didn't dare to take those shortcuts, in a vain attempt to get the beauty back earlier. He now belongs to the "body of sin", he has to behave well and reform well, otherwise let alone marrying a wife, even if he sees a beautiful side, it will be difficult to climb to the sky.

On the third day after Li Hehui came to Hezhou, he finally remembered to see triplets.

Two days ago, all his thoughts were occupied by Pianpian, and he couldn't even calm down when he feasted and drank with Shiheng, all he was thinking about was not knowing what Pian Pian was doing, did Pian Pian miss him at the moment?

is so cranky, and forgets to do "serious things".

If it weren't for being reminded by Xiao Guy on this day, he wouldn't have forgotten about it.

The triplets are still young, and they were born prematurely, so their bodies are slightly weaker than full-term babies. Even after a month of careful parenting, the weight has risen a little, but before the age of three, you must be very cautious, otherwise you will not take good care of it, for fear of falling into the root of the disease.

In view of this, Xu Erlang naturally would not let the nurse carry the triplets to the front yard. simply led Li Hehui to the backyard.

Jin Niang was in confinement, and the maids knew that there were male guests coming, so they avoided it, so when the two of them came over, except for a few grandmothers who were in charge of sprinkling and sweeping, the rest of them didn't see them.

The house where the triplets are located is burning with earth dragons, and water tanks are placed in the four corners of the house to increase the humidity. Because of the warmth in the house, the little ones slept honestly with only small swaddling clothes. Looking at the past one by one, the little hands and feet, even with the chubby little face, are heartwarming.

Although Xu Erlang has visited the triplets several times a day in the past month, he is busy with official business. Every day when he gets up early and doesn't wait for the triplets to wake up, he has gone out, and when he returns in the evening, he is already wearing stars and moons, and he is exhausted. So I just had to sit with them for a while and then leave.

Now that he has free time to take a closer look at the three new children, Xu Erlang's always cold and hard face has become soft, and his eyes are full of love.

Xu Erlang carefully touched the little hands of the three children, and finally put his slender fingers in the small palm of his little daughter.

The little guy Xu was aware that something was in his hand, and he unconsciously clenched it, so he held Xu Erlang's fingers firmly.

Changqi is still young, but the strength is not small, Xu Erlang can sense the strength in his hand, and he can't help but slightly curl the corners of his lips and chuckle.

Changqi didn't know that her father was in front of her, so Gu Zi held her father's big hand and continued to chirp. Her little mouth squirmed non-stop, and even when she fell asleep, it was as if she was feeding. This is somewhat similar to her brother and sister, all of them are snacks.

Xu Erlang chuckled twice, and then looked at Li Hehui on the side.

Li Hehui had been looking at him for a while.

Obviously, he proposed to see the triplets, but when he arrived in the baby room, Shi Heng was more attentive than he could see.

Then again, who let this be someone's cub with other people's blood on his body.

Li Hehui resolutely refused to admit it, and when he saw the picture of "father and daughter", his eyes were red with envy.

Triplets, plus the two in front, Shiheng already has five children.

At his age, it is remarkable to have three children. He is good, although he got married late, but in terms of the number and quality of children, he is behind, and he is really envious of him.

Not to mention that he doesn't have a child, and his eyes are green with envy.

No, I want to steal one, I don't know if Shi Heng will kill him if he knows this idea.

When Li Hehui came out of the baby room, the breath on his body became even more depressed.

Xu Erlang is a good person, how can he not know that he is envious.

It's good to be envious, that's one of his purposes. He couldn't see it or touch it, but this kind of taste made him familiar with it first, after all, there will be a long time in the future, and he has to spend it with this kind of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Li Hehui saluted Jinniang through the curtain of the delivery room, greeted him twice, and then went to the outer courtyard with Xu Erlang.

It was also a coincidence that when they walked out of the Cuibai Garden, they happened to see a girl in a red cloak who could only see the back of a young man walking into the distance.

At this time, this place, this figure, the girl didn't think about it except for Pianpian.

Pian Pian used to come to visit her sister-in-law, but when she got closer, a grandmother came to tell her that there was a foreign man inside.

I know who the foreign man is with my toes.

Thinking of avoiding suspicion and abiding by the rules, Pian Pian turned his head and walked back.

It's a pity that I haven't walked a few steps before I hear movement behind me, but it was the second brother and Li Hehui who came out of it.

If she doesn't come out early or late, she's leaving them and coming out. They will be later, and they will show up when she returns to Shuiyunju. No matter how bad it is, when she goes farther away, she can't hear them when they call her, and then she can show up.

This distance, turning back is not, not looking back is not.

When I look back, I will be suspected of doing it on purpose. But just pretending not to hear the movement over there is too unpleasant.

Pian Pian was a little constrained, and she didn't know what to do for a while. The corner of her eye suddenly left the double brocade next to her for some reason - Wutong made an assertion yesterday and was fined three months of monthly silver by her. As for the autumn rain, if it is not good, it will also be punished.

This is the first time that Pian Pian has punished the girl around her, and she has grown up with herself since she was a child, and she thinks about her own good. To be honest, she really couldn't do it. But she also knew that she would have this hand.

Because if she hesitates any longer, her sister-in-law is afraid that she will have to do it for her. The sister-in-law cared about her face, and it was difficult to dispose of the maid on her behalf, worried that she would sweep her face, and then make her difficult to do. But these girls dare to be half of the master's family in the name of being good for the master, who can know in the future whether she will do the rest of the unruly etiquette in order for her master to be prosperous and rich.

For example, if you marry yourself, your husband has a concubine, and the maids drug the concubine in order to protect their own interests, or cause a miscarriage......

While this is unlikely, what if? So this kind of "big-hearted" girl really can't stay, even if she stays, she has to teach a lesson and let her learn the rules well.

Wutong and Qiu Yu were both punished, and Pian Pian was also punished for copying the house rules ten times. Wutong Qiuyu is at fault, but in the final analysis, it is still her fault. If she held it, the maids would not be "for her good", and deliberately set aside time for her to be alone with Li Hehui. Speaking of which, the maids' actions are all influenced by her.

She didn't tell anyone about it herself, but she silently began to write.

But in order not to let her brother and sister-in-law know, and then make them uneasy, she still has to keep her voice quiet, and she can't let people see that she is tired.

Therefore, it is indispensable to visit my sister-in-law on a regular basis.

Pian Pian was thinking about it when she heard the second brother call out to herself.

Pian Pian hurriedly turned around, "I'm here, second brother, what do you want me to do?" ”

Xu Erlang beckoned to her, looked at the second brother, then at Li Hehui, pursed his lips, and walked to him with small steps.

"Go talk to your sister-in-law for a while, she's awake and bored, you go and accompany her."

"Well, that's what I thought. Then I'll go over, second brother, you and Brother Li are busy with you. ”

As he spoke, he saluted the two of them, then turned and entered the gate of the Emerald Garden.

Li Hehui: I'm more depressed.

I can't see it or touch it, and there is an uncle-in-law next to him staring at him, he just wants to have eye contact with Pianpian, and he has to be careful. What does it taste like...... It's uncomfortable to dig out your heart and lungs.

Seeing this, the corners of Xu Erlang's lips curled slightly.

Jin Niang said well, the more difficult it is to get it, the more you will cherish it after you get it. He wants to be that wicked man now, and "learn from each other" Li Hehui. In this way, he would know that his sister was really not so easy to marry; Even if he agrees to their family affairs, if Li Hehui does not treat Pian Pian well, he will open his eyes for his sister and will not let Pian Pian suffer any grievances.

thought so in his heart, but Xu Erlang didn't say what he thought in his heart.

While the two of them were going to the outer courtyard, Xu Erlang asked Li Hehui, "When will the rest of the border patrol history arrive?" ”

Li Hehui's eyes were full of fluttering, how could he hear what Xu Erlang was saying. It was Xu Erlang who asked for the second time, and he suddenly came back to his senses, stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, and talked to Xu Erlang about business.

Border patrols can be said to be an annual occurrence, or they can be said to occur once every few years.

The reason why it is said that there are four borders in the country is because the country has four borders, and His Majesty will send people to patrol every year. Or go to the northwest, or come to River State, or southeast, or southwest.

The specific direction of the people to be sent depends on the specific movement of the border and the degree of His Majesty's trust in the Minister of Garrison.

If the defense over there is stable, and the general guarding the border is the minister of His Majesty's henchmen, in order to show his trust in the courtiers, His Majesty will not easily send people. However, the border is uneasy, there is often turmoil, and the general who leads the troops is not His Majesty's confidant, so such a place should send more people to run.

And this year, His Majesty appointed the border patrol to come to Hezhou. First, because Hezhou was turbulent in the first two years, the border army of Hezhou has changed four times until Emperor Yunwen ascended the throne.

The first can also be said to be Emperor Yunwen who was worried that he would stay in Hezhou for a long time, support the army and be self-respecting, or have two hearts, so he sent people back to Beijing to serve. Then the second and third terms were not so good, these two were killed in battle, and because of the hasty death, the court did not have time to appoint the generals to lead the troops, so the adjutant general next to him took over the post of general to continue to fight against the Tartars. And today's Guide General is so on top.

He is the deputy general next to the previous frontier guard, and he is also lucky, with high ability, and he also sent more than 20,000 Tartars back when he was in danger. The military situation was played truthfully, and His Majesty naturally handed over the military defense affairs of Hezhou to him, and gave him the official position of General Roude.

It is also because His Majesty is not very familiar with this Guide general, so he deliberately chose Hezhou for this border patrol. Of course, there are naturally some hidden secrets, but it is inconvenient to tell Shi Heng.

For example, when Li Hehui came, he also gave an order to discuss with the Guide general on behalf of the Son of Heaven the feasibility of a surprise attack on Tartar.

Because the Khan of the Tartars was seriously ill, internal chaos abounded, and several princes vied for the throne, causing a miasma.

The imperial court placed several spies in the Tartars, and after many years, there were also two that could be used. The two of them sent back the news, and the matter could be expected.

This made Emperor Yunwen very excited, so he wanted to follow him to Hezhou this time, and His Majesty nodded and agreed after considering it.

After all, this matter is very important, if you don't pay attention to the rumors, and then let the Tartars do an ambush in advance, it will not be good to be a turtle in the urn at that time.

There are more suitable people in the court than him, but he is the only one who can win His Majesty's trust and make His Majesty feel at ease to deliver this matter.

Of course, this matter is confidential and cannot be told to Shi Heng, so Li Hehui did not say much. But there is something unfinished in his words, Xu Erlang is clever and intelligent, but it will take long to figure out the truth.

Xu Erlang was very optimistic about the counterattack on the Tartars.

First, although the Tartars are in turmoil, if there is a war, the Jieli Khan can use the war to transform the internal turmoil into the outside. After all, Jieli Khan was only seriously ill, but he had not yet reached the point of death. He was famous in the Tartars, and under an order, the Tartars drove the troops and horses in the territory to attack, and when the time came, it would be self-defeating, and Hezhou was in danger.
