Jin Niang was happy, but a few children on the table were curious.

The triplets were fine, they didn't understand their father very well, so they were still sitting in their baby chairs, poking at the food on the plate in front of them with great interest. But Changle, Xiao Yu'er and Brother Rong are already very big, what does Xu Erlang's words mean, how could they not understand?

I saw Xiao Yu'er crying with a sad face, "Daddy is going out again?" ”

Xu Erlang nodded, "Daddy strives to come back as soon as possible." ”

"That's what Daddy says every time." But I couldn't do it every time.

He said that he went to the border to inspect the people's livelihood last year, and also said that he would come back soon, and then took them to live in Zhuangzi in the suburbs for some time, but they arrived home a month later, when the weather was cold, and it was time for the autumn harvest. Daddy was busy with his feet not touching the ground, and the agreement to go to the suburban Zhuangzi to live for a period of time to relax naturally did not come true.

The more Xiao Yu'er thought about it, the more she complained, and complained to her father with tears in her eyes, "Daddy's words don't count." ”

Xu Erlang: "......"

Changle was a little worried when he heard this.

She has been practicing medicine outside for nearly a year, so thank you for hearing the news. These days, she vaguely knew that the north side did not seem to be very peaceful, and the khans on the Tartar side were said to have completely collapsed, and she was afraid that she would not be able to survive this winter.

If this news is true, then there will definitely be turmoil within the Tartars. This is a good thing for Daqi, but I don't know if the Tartar side will cause a war to divert internal contradictions, if this is the case, Hezhou will be in big trouble.

He was worried that his second uncle would encounter an accident when he went to the border, and he was also worried that his aunt and younger siblings would be worried that his second uncle would be tripped and unable to go home for a few months, so the expression on his face was very sad.

But sensible people such as Changle also knew that since the second uncle said that he was going to the border, whether it was to inspect the people's livelihood or have other purposes, since he had decided, they would definitely not be able to stop it, so they could only make more pills of various colors and give them to the second uncle for self-defense.

Changle was silently thinking about these in his heart, but he didn't say anything, but his eating movements were a little faster, and after preparing the meal, he went back to the pharmacy to be busy, and prepared as many pills as possible for the second uncle to carry with him.

It was Brother Rong, who thought about it and spoke, "Can Daddy take me with you?" ”

Xu Erlang moved, he didn't expect Brother Rong to have this idea. It's a good thing for a man to have the ambition to travel far away, but not now, the border is still in turmoil, and just like Changle is worried, now the Tartar side is really not very stable.

He himself was able to protect himself in the past, but if he brought Brother Rong, he was afraid that there would be an omission when he was busy, and Brother Rong would have an accident.

Thinking of this, Xu Erlang said, "Forget it this time, if the border is stable next year, Daddy will take you there." ”

The few children at the table did not hear the meaning of this, and they all continued to eat in silence. It's Jin Niang, she can hear it, maybe this year, or early next year, there will be a war?

After dinner, after sending a few children, Jin Niang asked questions, and Xu Erlang said, "Xu Yes, no one can say for sure." But it's always a good idea to be prepared first. ”

That is, the odds of war are very high, very high.

How good is that?

She is also a fellow lady, and she can't run away with her children when the war starts. But the war is the most ruthless, if the border army can't resist the attack of the Tartars, Hezhou will be broken only in the day.

She cherished her own life, and cherished the lives of her children even more, and let them accompany them to die in Hezhou, Jinniang felt heartache when she thought about it.

No, it's all a shadowless thing, and it's too pessimistic for her to think of such a tragic ending. Let's go to bed honestly, and think about it when we wake up.

The next day, Jinniang got up, Xu Erlang had already set off for the border, she had nothing to do, so she was ready to send two letters to the capital.

One letter to Qing'er, explaining some of his ways to get along with the little girl's family. Don't be abrupt about the beauty, and don't be elm pimples that don't understand the style at all. Married couples, it is normal to have some contacts in private, as long as they don't do anything out of line, the elders will turn a blind eye.

In addition, you can prepare some small gifts and small surprises appropriately, and you must be considerate of the woman, and you don't need to say many sweet words, but since you want to live with other girls for a lifetime, you must put your attitude out, and you can't have a lawsuit with those messy women.

wrote a letter to Pianpian again, instructing her to buy her the manpower to manage the dowry that could be trusted, all of which were carefully selected by Xu Erlang and Mohe, and could be used as a confidant. Of course, if that slave has the intention of bullying the master, or secretly does something dirty behind her back, she doesn't have to care about her and Xu Erlang's face, and she can deal with them as she wants.

In short, those things have been handed over to her, and the output will be hers in the future, and she must pay attention.

If there is something that cannot be handled, go to Tonghe for help. If you have a question that you don't understand, you can write to her and ask her, or you can hear about Mrs. Su.

Originally, Jin Niang wanted to explain that she was a little more reserved, and she was reserved and proportionate when she got along with Li Hehui, but she put pen to paper, and she threw the paper out again.

Pian Pian is now a big girl, how to behave, she must have a sense of proportion in her heart. She is a sister-in-law who just asks a few words, and she has asked too much, which makes it seem like she doesn't trust her character, and it inevitably makes the little girl uncomfortable, so she still doesn't say it.

After Jin Niang finished writing the letter, she asked her to take the list of gifts from previous years, selected some items, and pulled out some things from the warehouse, and sent them to the capital and Pingyang respectively.

These are the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts for the two old people, and now they are seeing that it is August 15, and they have to be sent over quickly, otherwise they will not be able to catch up with the day.

After Jin Niang was busy with these, it was time for lunch.

There were only five of them, mother and son, and by the way, Changle went out for free clinics again. So only Jinniang was left in the house with the five children she gave birth to.

Jin Niang looked to the left, it was Xiao Yu'er who was disgusted and helpless to wipe Changhui's mouth and look at the right, Brother Rong was speechless and cleaned up the dishes that were waved on his body by Changzhou, with a look of lovelessness.

The triplets, who were disliked by their brothers and sisters, were playing with food and spoons, and they were all over the place. Not only on the table, but also on the floor, but even each of them has a lot of it. Especially on the face, there are more, like little cats, and the eyelids of those who look at it twitch.

Jin Niang helplessly supported her forehead, and quickly asked Mama to clean the triplets with dinner, and then took them to take a lunch break.

She left Xiao Yu'er and asked her to roll up her sleeves and trouser legs to see if the bruises on her body were healed.

Xiao Yu'er rolled up her sleeves and said, "How can it be good? Even if yesterday was good, today will be bruised again. The master said that before practicing to the Dacheng realm, it is normal to have injuries on your body every year. ”

Jin Niang twitched the corners of her mouth again speechlessly, and Dacheng realm, do you think you are cultivating immortals. Isn't it just learning a new dance, bumping and bruising on your body, as if you have said something?

Xiao Yu'er has become more and more enthusiastic about dancing and martial arts this year, and her small body doesn't know where to burst out with such strong energy, she can get up early every day to practice martial arts for an hour, and then practice dancing for an hour in the afternoon, that's all, without being tired at all.

But because what I learn now is no longer the basic skills I used to be, but now I am more about learning tricks, learning skills such as gestures and retracting force, so it is inevitable that the little girl will always be bruised and purple. Even if there is an ointment that Changle contributed to your internal and external application, it doesn't seem to have much effect—no! It works very well, to be precise. Otherwise, the little fish would have been unable to get up for a long time. But because it worked, the old wounds on the little girl's body went down, and the new ones came again. Her skin is delicate, and a little bruise looks very serious, so Jin Niang, who is a mother, is naturally very distressed.

She has the heart to persuade Xiao Yu'er, so she won't practice if it hurts, right? But every time this sentence rolled to the tip of her tongue, she remembered the bright eyes of the little girl when she talked about dance and martial arts, and her words were swallowed back.

Over time, Jin Niang didn't care.

When the child is older and assertive, then she doesn't care so much as a mother. After all, they all said that they could take responsibility for their actions and knew what they were doing. So what the hell is she going to do?

The truth is such a truth, but in the end is the meat that fell from her body, will she not feel distressed when she sees her suffering and sin?

Others are distressed or not, Jinniang doesn't know, anyway, she is especially distressed. So every once in a while, I had to call Xiao Yu'er to me and give her medicine in person.

Obviously, looking at the bruise marks, her heart was even more sour, but people are such awkward animals. Even though her heart hurts badly, she still wants to deal with her pain by herself.

Xiao Yu'er was very helpless when she saw her mother pulling down her face again.

My mother always said that they were children, but in her opinion, my mother was a child.

Whatever is on your mind is written on your face, and if you are unhappy, you will hang it directly on your face, for fear that others will not be able to see it.

To be reasonable, this means that the father did not inform the mother of some confidential things, otherwise other ladies would come to find out.

After all, home-brewed people are not people who can hide things, and their thoughts are on their faces.

Xiao Yuer sighed in her heart, it was precisely because her mother was "unreliable" that she had to be reliable.

She is interested in learning dance, learning martial arts, that is, she is ready to go up by herself when her mother is not doing anything. For example, if there is really something in Hezhou, my mother will definitely not be able to bear it, and when she is the eldest daughter in the family, it will be time for her to play a role.

Xiao Yu'er mixed a stick of incense in Jinniang's room, and hurried back to Shuiyunju to sleep.

She still has a lot of homework in the afternoon, and if she doesn't take a nap, she has no energy in the afternoon, and she has a hard time learning anything. So I still have to go back and get a good night's sleep, and when I get up from a full sleep, I will be in high spirits, and I will do everything with half the effort.

The life of the family is leisurely, but I don't feel that the days are so sad.

And in this comfortable life, Xu Erlang, who had been away for nearly half a month, finally returned.

When he returned, his face was still covered with frost, and his whole beard looked haggard. Especially the eyes are blue and black, and there are heavy red bloodshots in the eyes. There is no need for Xu Erlang to say, just looking at his appearance, Jin Niang knows that this must be another few days and nights without rest, and hurry back quickly.

She said, "What are you anxious about?" Come back slowly. Is there anything big going on at home, and there is no urgent business in Rivers State that you need to deal with. You say, what are you doing in such a hurry? ”

and chattered, "That is, relying on the fact that he is young and in good health, he can toss hard." When you get old, I will see that you will not be covered with pain, and then I will see if you regret it. ”

Xu Erlang listened to her chatter, but she had already fallen asleep.

Jin Niang straightened his hair, looked up, and saw that he was already asleep. For a while, I was distressed and unbearable, in the end, I woke him up and let him go to bed and fall asleep.

Xu Erlang was eager to come back, Jin Niang didn't think much about it, but in the next few days, Xu Erlang was so busy that he didn't even return home, and Jin Niang finally realized that something really happened to Xu Shi.

But Xu Erlang didn't say it...... He asked without saying anything to her.

Jin Niang waited for Xu Erlang to come back from the yamen on this day, and asked him what happened. Xu Erlang didn't hide it from her, and after thinking about it, he said, "There is some movement in the north, and troops should be mobilized in the spring next year." ”

Jin Niang was stunned for a moment.

Although she thought that the Tartars would use the war to divert internal conflicts, she didn't expect this to happen so quickly.

Next spring, it will be more than half a year away from now.

Is it too late to prepare weapons now?

Jin Niang suddenly panicked, and her heart was pounding.

Xu Erlang laughed at her when he saw this, "What are you afraid of, before that moment, it is not good to say who loses or who wins." It is impossible to determine who has the better troops. ”
