The crown prince didn't think much of this, but he had to say: "Father, the people have been peaceful and peaceful for many years, and it is not surprising that when there is a war, they are naturally panicked. It's just that the Su family has received the grace of the country, but there is a rebellion, which is really intolerable! Only if this battle can be won can the hearts and minds of the people be completely regained. The future of the country is here. ”

The emperor was slightly ashamed when he heard this, paused for a while, and asked with concern: "Emperor, are you in better health?" When I saw you like this the day before yesterday, I really couldn't let go of it. ”

"Father Xie cares." The prince said: "Thanks to the prescription prescribed by Mrs. Lu, I took a dose yesterday and it is already much better." The father doesn't have to worry, now that the battle is together, things are complicated, and the father and emperor also have to take care of the dragon body. ”

The emperor seemed to be full of emotion, patted his son's shoulder, and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw a small inner eunuch, and hurriedly ran up from downstairs, and said: "Your Majesty, Su Niangniang's palace sent someone to say that Niangniang was too worried and had a sudden illness, so please go over and take a look." ”

"What?" When the emperor heard this, his face changed: "She is not in good health, and in the past few days, she must be sad in her heart, quickly, let's drive!" ”

The little inner supervisor agreed, and the group hurriedly went.

The prince stood alone at the head of the city, looked at the back of his father, turned his face to look at the people under the city, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

When the soldiers were about to pass, Qingwan left the city gate and still went to the makeup shop, only a few guys were busy, but Lu Xiufang was nowhere to be seen.

I thought she must have gone to the city gate to see her off, but it's time for her to come back?

"Where's Miss Lu?"

Before the words fell, I saw Lu Xiufang's eyes red, crying like a peach, and walking in with her head slightly down.

"Look at these eyes," Qingwan hurriedly stepped forward to grab her: "Why didn't I see you at the city gate?" Where do you stand? ”

"I'm there in the northeast corner, I saw Sister Fang, but there are too many people, the voice is too noisy, I greeted you a few times, and I can't hear it at all. Later, I couldn't see you, so I had to come back by myself. ”

Qingwan didn't want to tell Li Gui about it. He said, "Your second brother found me in a secluded place, so I left." Well, stop crying, it won't be long before they will be able to return triumphantly. ”

"This Zhu Yan!" Lu Xiufang was sad and angry, "I didn't know how to say goodbye to me in advance, so I just cared about riding a horse in front of the team, and when I saw him again, I would see him a lesson!" ”

"General Zhu Xiao is the main general, so naturally he can't leave easily," Qingwan said with a smile: "It's not as good as your second brother, it's a deputy general, and no one pays too much attention to it." What you say now is so powerful, I'm afraid that when you come back triumphantly, you won't be able to feel distressed! ”

Lu Xiufang couldn't help but smile and blushed slightly: "I won't feel distressed!" ”

"Do you dare to make a bet, then?"

"Second sister! Second sister! ”

Suddenly, there was a crown voice outside the door.

Qingwan was very surprised, and hurriedly greeted him and said, "Why are you here this time?" ”

"What day is it?" Hanguan said: "The army went out, and even the national eunuch took a day off, didn't I come back in a hurry?" ”

"Come on in, warm up, warm up!" Qingwan took her brother's cold hand and said distressedly, "Let's go home in a while!" ”

Lu Xiufang and Hanguan saluted and went back to their room. Here Hanguan asked: "Why did Brother Lu lead the troops to the battle?" When I heard the news, I couldn't let go of it. This war is not trivial, there are Turks outside, there are Su families inside, and there should be cooperation inside, but I am afraid that it will not be so easy to win. ”

"Good brother, don't worry," Qingwan hurriedly said: "Your eldest brother Lu told me before he set out on the expedition, although it is menacing on the surface, but in fact it is vulnerable on the inside. Just read your books in peace and don't worry about anything. The only thing my sister is worried about is that your eldest brother Lu is not in the capital, and you have less to take care of in the country, so you have to keep more attention to yourself. ”

"It's okay," Hanguan smiled indifferently: "Now I get along well with my classmates, and the masters are also kind." It's just that I can't go home often, and it's hard to take care of my parents. I think the second old man is a newcomer, and he is not familiar with life, so it would be good if he could accompany his knees day and night. ”

Qingwan smiled: "If you can succeed in your studies, your father and mother are the most comfortable!" Okay, if you have anything to say, go home and say it! ”

The two sisters and brothers came out hand in hand and returned home, only to see Qing Boding clearing the snow in the yard, Hanguan hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the broom in his hand: "Dad, put it down quickly, let me come!" ”

Qing Boding was suddenly surprised and delighted: "Guan'er! How did you get back today? ”

"The army is on the march, and the Guozijian has also taken a day off," Hanguan waved his broom vigorously: "Dad, you are still used to coming to the capital these days, right?" ”

"Okay, good," Qing Boding smiled: "With your second sister being so careful, what else is not used to?" ”

Hearing this, He Shi lifted the curtain from inside and came out: "Guan'er! ”

"Mother," Hanguan had already swept the snow quickly, and put the broom aside: "Come in, it's cold outside." ”

The family entered the house, the house was as warm as spring, He took his son's hand and asked endlessly. Qingwan was thinking about one thing: "Mother, I think let's hire a few people." You are old, and you are not in good health, and you can't afford to work too hard. Although our family is not a big family, there is a lot of work here and outside every day, and I have to go to the shop early in the morning, and I can't help. Hire two people to do some work and you can save a lot of money. ”

"No, no," He felt sorry for the silver, and waved his hand again and again: "What kind of work is this?" Compared to when we were in our hometown, it was simply a heaven and an underground. I don't have anything to do with your father, I just do it when I move my muscles. It's not easy for you to be outside, get up early every day and earn that little bit of silver, we are a small family, and we still need to hire people? ”

"Mother, just listen to the second sister!" Han Guan also said: "The capital is not as good as our countryside, there are many things, and there is someone to help you run errands, so as not to worry about you." What's more, you don't need to hire more, just one inside to do housework, and the other outside to buy something. ”

"No" He still refused, but Qingwan had already cut off and said: "This matter is so decided!" If you and Dad don't comply, I'm going to be angry! ”

"Okay," He had no choice but to agree: "Hey, you kid, you can't help you with anything!" ”

"By the way, have you heard about Su Biao?" Hanguan suddenly said in a straight tone.

"What's the news?" Qingwan hurriedly asked.

"Second sister, now this matter has spread all over the country. said that Su Ge Lao left the palace that day, so he disguised himself as an old man from the village, and followed the path that had been planned for a long time, and made a detour to Qianzhou. How many chasing soldiers have been evaded, and there was no idle along the way, flying pigeons passed the book, and reached the people of the border, and before Qianzhou, his protégés naturally complied with the incident. The Qianzhou guards looked down on the wind and also made a gang with the Su family. Calculating the distance, Su Biao should not have reached the border, if Su Biao arrives, I am afraid that the thief will be even stronger! ”

"This Su Biao is really an old fox!" Qing Boding gritted his teeth with hatred, "When we were young, the world was peaceful, the people were rich, and we all admired the virtues of today's saints. Let's just say that Su Biao is reused, in the past, it was only relied on, but now it is good, no matter how big or small, all of them are handed over to the Su family, and the saint only knows how to immerse himself in the pleasures of the inner palace. Now he is rebelling, his lives are ruined, and the people are suffering, which is really a seed of disaster for the country and the people! ”

"Dad, even our people in the poor mountains know this, so it can be seen to what extent the Su family has lost the hearts of the people? If they do too much injustice, they will be killed, and their retreat will be a matter of time, and this battle will not last long. Qingwan was relieved for her parents: "I don't know if the rest of the Su family is banned, what is happening now?" ”

"Who else is in the Su family?" Hanguan sneered: "Su Biao's wife also ran away, the Su family was not prosperous, only this son and a daughter." Su Mo is in prison, the real Su family, that is, the young grandmother. ”

"You mean Su Mo's wife?"

"Of course it's her!" Hanguan continued: "Listening to the rumors of the Guozijian, whether men, women or children, they will be beheaded in a few days!" Can the young grandmother escape? ”

"It turned out to be arrogant and rampant, and it finally came to such an end!" Qingwan couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"Okay, no matter what other people's affairs, father, mother, these small gifts were given to your second elder by my classmates in Guozijian, I heard that I am going home today, let me bring them back."

Hanguan said, he took out a small blue cloth bag, and when he opened it, although it was all small objects, it was full of very delicate things, rice paper, tea bricks, silver rat skin, dazzling, but also a full table.

"Oh, you kid," Qing Boding said, "how can you make people break the bank?" They are all scholars, and they don't have much money, and we don't give anyone any benefits, which is not comfortable. ”

"Dad, you don't know anything, the students of Guozijian are all children of a family, why do you care about this little money?" Qingwan said with a smile: "It's rare that they are all good with Brother Guan, and everyone sends them, which is the most important." ”

"Yes, father, mother, you two elders can rest assured to accept it, usually in the school, I often have contacts with them, and every time I return the courtesy, it is rich. I took it this time, and I will pick the ones they love in the future, and send some, isn't it? ”

Qing Boding nodded: "Knowing that you are not bullied in the Guozi Prison, my father is relieved." After all, we came out of the mountains, which is different from those official eunuchs. ”

"You don't always need to think about these things, the hero doesn't ask where he comes from, just say that the academic ability of our crown brother, those children of the family, how many are compared? Even Lord Zhu appreciates him so much, who dares to underestimate him in Guozijian? Qingwan smiled.

"Guan'er," He Shi looked at the gifts: "You just said that you also have a lot of contacts with those classmates in Guozijian, where did you get the money?" ”
