Xue Dingshan went out of the inner house and came all the way to Yilanxuan. When I entered the courtyard gate, it was quiet. Xue Dingshan knew that Fan Lihua had always been very tolerant of the maids beside her. When they were not doing anything, these girls were doing their own things and never standing under the eaves of the porch in a proper manner. So it's not surprising that the yard is quiet. I went upstairs down the stairs, picked up the curtain and came in, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

There was a wisp of incense wafting through the room, and the smoke from the small incense burner on the bookcase had not yet dissipated. Fan Lihua stood alone in front of the bookcase, looking at the wisp of green smoke in a silent daze, and there seemed to be crystal tears in her eyes.

Xue Dingshan hurriedly came behind Fan Lihua, held her fragrant shoulders with both hands, and said with concern: "Ning'er, what's wrong with you?" Why is it that you are crying here alone? ”

Fan Lihua heard Xue Dingshan speak, so she woke up from her heart, turned around and said, "What's nothing? I had a dream when I was taking a nap just now, and I felt a little sad in my heart. Xue Dingshan gently wiped away Fan Lihua's tears and asked, "What did you dream about?" Makes you so sad. Fan Lihua pondered for a long time and said, "I dreamed of my mother." Xue Dingshan smiled and said, "It turns out that I miss my relatives." What's so sad about this, send someone to Hanjiang Pass to pick up your mother-in-law, isn't it just that your mother and daughter are reunited. Fan Lihua shook her head, sighed softly, and said, "What I dreamed of was my biological mother. ”

"Huh!" Fan Lihua's words made Xue Dingshan like a cloud, "Ning'er, what did you say?" Your birth mother? Do you say ......"

"Alas!" Fan Lihua looked at the incense burner on the bookcase, and muttered for a long time before saying, "Not bad." Ho is not my biological mother. My birth mother passed away twenty years ago. ”

"Oh. I see. Xue Dingshan looked at Fan Lihua with concern and said, "How did Lingtang pass away?" Why haven't I ever heard anyone talk about it? ”

"Don't say it's you, I only found out last year." Fan Lihua withdrew her gaze from the bookcase, looked at Xue Dingshan with concern in her eyes, and the pain that had been pressed in her heart for many years surged up in an instant, and she really wanted to tell him everything as it was. However, when the words came to her lips, Fan Lihua hesitated again. He smiled reluctantly and said, "It's just that he died of illness." What is the Holy Lord looking for you to enter the palace? Is it just for this thing and the cousin's lord? ”

Xue Dingshan saw that her words came to her lips and turned to the front again, knowing that there was something unspeakable, so he stopped asking. He said, "The Holy One called me into the palace for your seal of self-sin. ”

"Oh. What did the Holy One say? Fan Lihua heard that it was for the crime table, and hurriedly asked. Xue Dingshan frowned and said, "The Holy One asked me what I mean." ”

"Well," Fan Lihua couldn't help but be puzzled when she heard this, and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"yes." Xue Dingshan looked at Fan Lihua and said, "Don't ask, you can know that the saint and the two old Chitose must suspect that you want to resign because of my relationship, so you asked me to enter the palace to ask what I mean." ”

"Oops!" Fan Lihua screamed in surprise and said, "Why did I forget this layer and make trouble for you again." ”

Xue Dingshan smiled and said, "It is your duty to be guilty of being a marshal, and what do you say to cause trouble for me." Who would have thought that the saint and the two Chitose would be so suspicious. ”

"Why, what do you say?" Fan Lihua asked a little hungrily and hesitantly. Xue Dingshan smiled: "I naturally refused. Fan Lihua looked up at Xue Dingshan and said, "Why?" Don't you have compassion for your wife to take up this burden for me? ”

"What are these words?" Xue Dingshan smiled bitterly: "Do I have the heart to pity my wife, how can I have anything to do with being a marshal?" I didn't become this marshal, haven't I been doing it for you all these days? Besides, I just agreed, and the saint and the two old Chitose would not agree. If you think about it, although I have been forgiven by the Holy Lord, I still have a crime on my body. How many people in the barracks disagree with me, and you can think of any opinions about me. Even if it was Jiang Xu, Qin Ying and the others didn't say anything, and there were Zhang Sheng, Wang Kui, and others. Don't look at me, they don't say anything about the current military power, it's for the sake of your face. If I had become a marshal, they would have some objections. At that time, wouldn't the discord between the generals and commanders affect the stability of the army's morale? ”

Fan Lihua listened to Xue Dingshan's words, pondered for a long time, and said: "Your concerns are not unreasonable, they are just ......."

"Just what?" Xue Dingshan looked at Fan Lihua and asked.

"It's just that I really don't want to be this marshal anymore. It's so tiring! I just want to rest in peace and do my filial piety in front of my mother-in-law for a few days. It has been several years since my mother-in-law followed her father-in-law to the front of the two armies, and she suffered from bumps in the wind, food, and sleep. Now that she is a few years old, her father-in-law is no longer there, and it is time for her to enjoy her old age in peace and live a few days of peace of mind. ”

Xue Dingshan listened to Fan Lihua's words, and he was distressed and grateful. Stretched out his hand and took Fan Lihua into his arms, and said, "I naturally know that it is not easy to be this marshal. It's just that there is no way to get to this point, so I can only grit my teeth and hold on. As for my mother, I'm afraid that if the Turks are not calm for a day, and if you and I don't take off our uniforms, my mother won't be at ease for a day. If you want your mother to enjoy her old age in peace, the only way to calm down the Turks as soon as possible and return to the dynasty in triumph. At that time, you and I will return to the field with disarmament, and we will be happy every day, and the family will share the joy of family, so that my mother can truly spend her old age in peace. ”

Fan Lihua nodded slightly and said with a smile: "But that's the case." In that case, I can only hold on to this position for a few more days. He sank for a while, and said with a worried face: "It's just that the time for the soldiers to go out of the three levels is not enough." Beyond the three passes is the territory of the Turks, and the Turks must divide their troops to guard the passes, whether they can successfully hit the Golden Horse City, and let Helu surrender to me, I don't have any bottom in my heart. I don't know when this battle will end. ”

"My Ning'er is strategizing and winning a thousand miles, and there must be no problem in subduing the Turks." Xue Dingshan said with a smile. Fan Lihua made Xue Dingshan smile when he said a word, and said, "You, when did you learn to flatter people?" ”

As he spoke, it was getting late.

Fan Lihua picked up the red candle and said to Xue Dingshan: "It's not early, it's time to go to Dingxing." Xue Dingshan said with a smile: "When I came, my mother said that I don't need to go today, and it will be the same if I go again tomorrow morning." ”

"Oh." Fan Lihua heard Xue Dingshan say that there was no need to go to Dingxing, and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law is too lenient for you, you can't accept Huan's knees, and even the morning and dusk provinces are arbitrary." Xue Dingshan smiled and said, "It's not that I took your light, my mother was afraid that you couldn't help the residual heat of dusk, so the cool breeze at the beginning of the night didn't let you go." ”
