"That's good." Qing Boding bowed his head, and his tone was much gentler than a few days ago: "Go back to your room and sleep early." ”

"Uncle" Changtao opened his small mouth and called sweetly at the signal of his mother.

The brothers were already confused, and then they found the eldest sister and little nephew: "This fell from the sky?" ”

"Didn't expect that, did you?" Hanjuan took two steps forward with the child in her arms: "Fortunately, I came back, otherwise, I would have been kept in the dark with so many things happening at home." ”

The brothers asked a few words, and He urged his son to hurry back to the room to rest.

Before the big battle, although I was tired all day, I was restless and had trouble sleeping. Hanguan was even more worried, and was sitting alone in front of the desk with candles, only to see the two sisters coming.

"Where's Changtao?" Hanguan asked hurriedly.

"Sleep with my grandmother." Hanjuan sat on a chair in front of the table, looked at the eldest brother, and felt that there were a thousand words, but she didn't know what to say for a while.

"Eldest sister, second sister, you don't have to say anything," or Hanguan spoke first: "I will deal with it as appropriate." ”

"I'll go with you, too." Qingwan said two things that happened during the day, "My chariots and horses do not follow the army, not far away, along the same road. Then you will be able to see it, and you will not alarm the army. ”

"That's fine," Hanguan nodded: "If you can go with us, our hearts will be more confident." It's just that the eldest sister has worked hard, and she has to take care of the children and take care of her parents. ”

"It doesn't matter, I'm used to doing all these chores." Hanjuan said: "Besides, there are so many people in the family, your eldest brother-in-law will come in a few days." ”

Hearing the conversation here, Hanguang, who was tossing and turning, also came over to join, and the two sisters couldn't help but ask again, the four sisters and brothers rarely got together, but they had to disperse quickly, and they all felt an indescribable melancholy in their hearts, and they chatted until it was almost dawn, and then they went back to their rooms.

Qingwan didn't want to lie down, so she simply put her luggage away, and she didn't bring much with her, but it was just two small packages. After cleaning up, I didn't feel sleepy at all, and sat in front of the window until the dawn dawned.

Early the next day, Lu Xiufang came to see him off: "Zhu Yan arranged the expedition in the DPRK, and he didn't come back last night. Let me apologize for him, I can't come to send my second sister-in-law. ”

"What's this?" Qingwan hurriedly said: "I think too much." Go back and bring one for me. ”

Lu Xiufang nodded and pointed to a big box behind her: "Here are all the things I brought to my second brother." ”

Although he didn't want to take it, and it was not easy to refuse, Qingwan had to order someone to collect it, and at this time everyone in the house also came out, and the expedition had its own auspicious time, so it could not be delayed, because he was afraid that his parents would not be able to stand it because he was too old, and Hanjuan persuaded him for a long time to persuade the second elder not to go to the city gate, so he saw him off here.

Lu Xiufang greeted everyone, afraid of affecting the conversation with her family, so she made an excuse to leave first.

"Take care of your second sister on the road," He said these words for a long time, and then stopped for a while before he said: "It's windy over there, be careful not to catch a cold."

"Dad, mother, go back quickly," Hanguan said: "It's cold in the morning, my mother should be sick again." ”

Relatives are relative, but they are silent.

In the distance, the sound of the procession walking was faintly heard.

Hanguang was ruthless, got on the horse first, and whipped away.

"Dad, mother, then let's go too." The remaining two were in tears, and each got into the carriage.

The car was about to turn out of the street, and when the curtain was lifted, the family members standing at the door of the house could be seen.

Just like last time, the emperor also came to see off the soldiers on the expedition. It's just that this time, the coach was replaced by Hanguang.

The cumbersome and solemn ceremony, Hanguang coped with it freely, without mistakes, and Hanguan, as a special envoy with the army, was also specially ordered by the emperor to say a few words.

The army marched slowly, and the chariots and horses were clear, and only after the procession was exhausted did they follow along the same road.

On the way, everywhere they went, the three sisters and brothers wrote letters to their families together, and Hanjuan also counted the journey, and sent the letters back to various post stations. The speed of the army was extremely fast, and when it arrived outside the city of Qianzhou, it was dusk, and the prefect had already led people to greet him early.

After the customary greeting ceremony, most of the soldiers remained outside the city, where camping had already been prepared. And all the generals and some of their own soldiers entered the city.

As usual, Hanguang and the others wanted to stay in the yamen, and Qingwan's carriage and horses drove to Lu's house.

"Madame is back!" The people had received the news in advance, and they all stood at the door in the morning and waited, and hurriedly knelt down to say goodbye.

"Get up." Qingwan got out of the car, but she didn't see the figure that she thought about day and night.

As if he saw her thoughts, the housekeeper hurriedly said: "Lord Shangshu was waiting for his wife at home, but the prefect called someone to invite him again and again, saying that there was a big banquet to accompany the general and the envoy."

"I know," Qingwan didn't wait for him to finish, but understood that Lu Yanyi wanted to go to see the two brothers-in-law first, so he said, "During the period after I left, there was nothing to do at home, right?" ”

"Everything is fine," the butler followed her inside, and hurriedly replied: "Lord Shangshu is still so busy, there are a lot of medicinal materials recently, and he has to be busy until the second watch every day."

The housekeeper told all the important family affairs in a rambling manner, and Qingwan heard that the house was stable, and he was slightly determined: "Let's go down first, I want to rest first." That big box was moved in, and it was something that Grandma Zhu Shao brought to Master Shangshu. ”

The housekeeper hurriedly agreed, took people out, and the cleaning and washing here was clear, and he was so tired that he didn't even eat dinner, so he took a book casually, and went to bed leaning on the big pillow and turned it.

The door creaked softly, and Qingwan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

"Skinny?" Little farewell reunion, the first sentence, but only these two short words.

"Aren't you the same?" Looking at Lu Yanyi's slightly haggard face, his heart felt as if he had been hit by something, and it hurt terribly.

The big hands, which were always cold, caressed her little face: "That's because I see you in my dreams every night and can't sleep well." ”

"What if I say I've never dreamed of you?"

Before the words were finished, Sakura's lips had been tightly kissed by a ball of heat, and only endless lingering remained in the heavy curtain.

Early the next morning, Lu Yanyi was about to rush to the state office, and Qingwan also got up to prepare breakfast for him: "When I entered the city yesterday, I saw that most of the houses around me had been burned down, and the scene was really heart-wrenching. ”

"Fortunately, the people were moved into the city in advance, and no one was injured," Lu Yanyi stopped her from cooking porridge: "It's too late, I have to meet at the state government at the end of the day." ”

Qingwan had to stop: "What about the letter sent by Ah Xian?" ”

"It's in the first drawer of your desk, see for yourself." Lu Yanyi changed his clothes, and he didn't have time to say anything else, so he hurriedly went out.

After cleaning and grooming here, breakfast was put on the table, and he didn't have the heart to swallow it, and found out the letter written by Qinglu, only to see that the letter told Mrs. Lu to come to the Turks once no matter what, and the Turkic king couldn't listen to other people's words now.

The handwriting is sloppy, and it can be seen that it was written under a very urgent situation, and you can imagine the current situation of the green heron.

"Madam, most of today's medicinal materials have been delivered, and the pharmacists are waiting for acceptance." The butler came in and replied.

"Tell me to prepare the carriage and horses, and I will go to the pharmacy." Lu Yanyi was not there, so this task naturally fell on her head.

The liveliness of the pharmacy is no less than before going to Beijing, with medicinal herbs piling up, people coming and going, rubbing shoulders, compared to the panic and desolation outside and inside the city, it seems to be another world.

Although the pharmacists are also talking about this war, they still can't let go of the business that should be done, so there are still so many goods.

Qingwan was busy with all kinds of matters related to the inspection of the treasury, and almost had no time to think about the affairs of the state government, and when things were about to be completed, it was already the beginning of the unitary period.

The last cart of medicinal materials was put into storage, and Qingwan was relieved, and the maid from the pharmacy kitchen came over and said, "Madam, you haven't eaten for a day, you just boiled five-flavor porridge, can you bring you a bowl?" ”

"No, I can't eat it"

Before she finished speaking, Qingwan suddenly felt dizzy and almost fainted on the ground.

The servant woman next to her panicked, came up to support her, and put her on the chair, Qingwan felt a little relieved, drank two sips of hot tea, and gained some strength.

"Madam, you are busy at noon and have no food, how can you go on like this?"

"Okay, it's enough to bring the porridge."

After eating a bowl slowly, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, Qingwan felt that she was fine, thinking that Lu Yanyi didn't know if she had gone home, so she went out and got into the carriage.

The sky was already full of stars, but compared to before the war, there were far fewer houses on both sides of the road, and few people walked on the streets.

In front of the Lu Mansion, the housekeeper had already brought someone out to greet him: "Dinner has been prepared, please show me where to put it." ”

"I used it in the pharmacy," Qingwan waved his hand, "Is Master Shangshu back?" ”

"I just got home, and I'm resting in the study, waiting for my wife to eat together."

Qingwan hurriedly went to the study: "It's been a busy day, have you eaten at noon?" ”

"Simply ate two bites," Lu Yanyi put down the scroll, "You probably haven't eaten for a busy day?" ”

"How do you know?" Qingwan couldn't help but smile.

"Well, of course, who knows you better than I do?" Lu Yanyi said distressedly: "I'll eat with you." ”

"You guessed wrong this time," Qingwan didn't want to worry him, "I've already drunk porridge at the pharmacy, so hurry up and eat." ”

Lu Yanyi stared at her eyes: "Really? ”

"Can I still lie to you?" Qingwan smiled: "Don't believe it, you asked someone to ask the cook in the pharmacy." ”

Lu Yanyi also smiled: "Then I can just use some porridge here." ”

Hearing this, the butler who was standing aside hurriedly went out, and in a moment brought porridge and a few plates of snacks and side dishes.

Seeing that Lu Yanyi had eaten, Qingwan poured two cups of tea made by herself: "After discussing it for a day, how do you want to enter the army?" ”

"There are a lot of people, and there are endless arguments," Lu Yanyi took a sip of hot tea and sneered: "It's obviously a layman, but he has to pretend to know everything, it's really beyond his strength." ”
