Xiao Changtao saw so many people, his hands danced happily, and his mouth made an indistinct voice: "Hug, hug"

"Let my aunt hug you!" Qingwan was very happy when she saw her little nephew, and reached out to take it from her sister: "Do you know me?" ”

"Second sister, are you also at home?" Hanjuan was surprised and delighted: "Coming back from Qianzhou?" ”

"Yes," Qingwan teased the child in her arms, "It's a long story." Eldest sister, you rest first, wash your face, have breakfast, and I'll tell you later. What about the eldest brother-in-law? Didn't come along? ”

"Oh, he went to Huaizhou to see the goods," Hanjuan said: "It happens that it is not far from the capital, and Changtao has always been making trouble to go back to his grandmother since he went home!" I took advantage of this opportunity to see the goods, and left home with your brother-in-law, he stayed in Huaizhou, and I took Changtao into Beijing. ”

"When will my aunt come to Beijing?" Ho asked.

"Originally, he was going to come with me to greet the second elder, and then go to see the goods, but halfway through, he received a news that several groups of people rushed to Huaizhou to grab the goods, which is in demand," Hanjuan said: "So he had to go there first, and when the goods were done, he would come to the capital again, and it would take about five or six days." ”

He nodded, and Hanjuan looked around: "What about the eldest brother and second brother?" Could it be that I went out so early? ”

"You wash your face first, and then we'll have a good chat after eating," Qingwan watched the maid come in with hot water, "Changtao is hungry, isn't he?" ”

In response to her words, Chang Tao made another series of sounds from his mouth, which made everyone laugh.

After breakfast, everyone went back to the room to drink tea, and when they heard their sister tell the story from beginning to end, Hanjuan was almost speechless: "This"

"Eldest sister, it's good that you're back, but I didn't expect it," Qingwan hugged her little nephew in her arms: "With you and Changtao at home with me, it's much more down-to-earth." ”

"Father, mother, the eldest brother's marriage," Han Juan pondered for a moment, "If he insists on this, your second elder will not stop it, he is in a hurry, and he doesn't know what will happen, besides, listening to you say this, they are both sincere, even if the eldest brother has no choice but to give up this marriage, I am afraid that he will be unhappy for life in the future." ”

Qing Boding and his wife were speechless.

"It turns out that I don't know what the Turks are like," Han Juan still can't accept the second elder: "But in the past two years, Tailai has also had business dealings with several Turks, and I only know a little bit about it, as the second sister said, in fact, it is not as barbaric as we originally imagined, and those who have studied are quite knowledgeable about etiquette, not to mention that as a Turkic princess, it is different from the people, although I have not met, I think the second sister's eyesight can't be wrong, saying that this princess is good, it's not bad." ”

"Changtao, do you miss your grandmother? Grandparents are all thinking about you! "He took over the little grandson, and he couldn't kiss enough.

Seeing that her parents didn't want to talk about this topic, Hanjuan had to give up persuasion and change the topic: "When I came, my mother-in-law and Wu Wen's family asked me to bring a lot of things, and I will tidy it up when I have time to go back." ”

"Such a long journey, not to mention the hardships, and let the two of them break the bank." He said: "Our family's livelihood is not difficult now, what else are we doing with these?" ”

"I said the same, but no one listened," Hanjuan said: "Fortunately, it's all dirt, and it's not worth much." ”

He asked Wu Wen and Xiao Yu again that everything was okay, and the whole family only cared about teasing Changtao, and time passed very quickly, and before I knew it, it was time to come.

The Hanguan brothers have not come back yet, so they sent someone to ask, and they came back to say that they had to stay in the yamen tonight. Everyone didn't wait any longer, first put Hanjuan's mother and son to sleep, and then went back to their rooms.

The next morning, everyone was having dinner, and suddenly saw Lu Xiufang panting in, and when she saw Hanjuan's mother and son, she was also a little surprised, but she didn't have time to say anything, so she hurriedly saluted everyone and pulled Qingjuan aside.

"What's wrong?" Qingwan can't think of what it is for, the secret recipe, it stands to reason that there will be no trouble.

"Second sister-in-law, let me tell you," Lu Xiufang lowered her voice: "Yesterday, my mother-in-law took me to General Min's house to celebrate my birthday, and I drank two cups, I wanted to go to the side room to cool off, and before I walked to the door, I heard someone say something inside, that day on the street, I saw Lu Yanyi's wife in a trance getting off the sedan chair, and the other person said, no, she came back from Qianzhou?" The man said, "I can see it clearly, otherwise, I will go to the shop or Mrs. Lu's house in two days." Second sister-in-law, I was startled when I heard this, listening to the voice, it seems to be the wife of Prince Shun, the young grandmother who seems to be the family of the left servant of the household, these two people, did they know you well before? ”

Qingwan was also shocked in her heart, and nodded: "I am indeed familiar with the two of them, and I have come to my house several times before." ”

"What then?" Lu Xiufang was anxious: "I know Prince Shun's wife, I have always had a lot of things, I said that I wanted to come to investigate, I could do it, in case I really came to the door one day."

"Don't panic, I'll talk about it when I think about it."

"I was afraid that my uncle and aunt would be in a hurry, so I didn't dare to do it in front of everyone."

"Grandma Zhu, Madame, please come over for tea." The maid replied outside.

The two pushed the door out and returned to the upper room, He's eyes took turns looking at their faces, wanting to ask something, but it was difficult to speak: "Young Grandma Zhu came over so early?" ”

"Oh, someone sent some new fruits, and I wanted to give them to my uncle and aunt to taste, but I was afraid that it would not be fresh after a long time, so I came over early," Lu Xiufang said with a smile: "I don't have a good memory now, and I forgot to take it out just now." ”

After speaking, he instructed the maid around him to fetch it.

When she really brought four boxes of fresh fruits, Qingwan couldn't help but smile secretly in her heart, this Lu Xiufang usually always prepared all kinds of fruits in the sedan chair, but she didn't expect that it would really come in handy today, and it was a lie.

"Yesterday, the second sister-in-law told me a makeup recipe again, and I didn't remember a few important places, so I have to match the makeup today, so I have to let the second sister-in-law tell me again carefully," Lu Xiufang smiled as if nothing happened: "I have only talked about this several times, and I have written it down again, and I can remember it, I really can't do it!" ”

Although He still had some doubts, he couldn't ask anymore, so he smiled and said, "Grandma Zhu has a lot of things at home every day, how can she remember so many things?" ”

"There's a lot of things in the shop, so I have to leave, I'll be free another day, and I'll come to my uncle and aunt to say goodbye." Lu Xiufang stood up.

Sister Hanjuan sent her out of the door, and it happened that the maid came in with a letter: "Second aunt and grandmother, it's Qianzhou who came to the letter." ”

Qingwan took it, returned to the upper room and opened the letter to read, the letter said that since the Turkic soldiers came, he helped the prefect in the yali day and night to resist the enemy, and later the war spread to several nearby states and counties, and Lu Yanyi rushed to various places to help defend the city. Fortunately, after all efforts were exhausted, the people and soldiers were not injured, but the Turks were so angry that they set fire to a few houses.

After reading the letter, Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief, and read the following words, Qinglu sent another letter from Aline, hoping that Lu Yanyi and his wife could find a way to come to the Turks together, because the Turkic king trusted Qingwan very much, and if he could come to persuade him, things would be much easier.

"What did the second aunt say in the letter?" Ho said.

After listening to the content of his daughter's letter, Qing Boding pondered for a moment: "Since this is the case, you can follow the army back to Qianzhou." There's your eldest sister here, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

Qingwan does have the idea of returning to Qianzhou, but she can't rest assured that she is at home: "But you and your mother"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by He: "What your father said is that this front-line matter is not trivial, and it can't be delayed for our sake." You will be obedient and return to Qianzhou tomorrow. ”

"Yes, second sister," Hanjuan also advised: "With me here, I will be able to take good care of my father and mother, if there is really anything, you will ask me!" ”

Qingwan couldn't help but smile: "For the sake of Changtao's face, I can't bear it." ”

"Fang'er, if you are really filial, you will definitely listen to your father," Qing Boding said solemnly: "The war is resolved as soon as possible, it is more important than anything else." ”

"Okay, then I'll go with the eldest brother and the second brother," Qingwan made up her mind: "I'll send more letters back." ”

"Auntie, aunt" Changtao stretched out his chubby little hand and asked her to hug him.

"Tomorrow, my aunt is leaving," Qingwan stroked her nephew's little face: "Do you miss me?" ”

"Think about it"

Everyone in the room laughed, but there were tears in that smile.

After lunch, Qingwan took the time to go to the shop again and told Lu Xiufang about the letter from Qianzhou: "I wanted to stay in the capital for a few more days, but I didn't expect to leave so soon." ”

"Second sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about anything here," Lu Xiufang said: "Fortunately, this time I went with the army, and I can rest assured that I have two younger brothers to take care of me." ”

"The shop is handed over to you, of course I am down-to-earth," Qingwan said: "What about Gardenia?" ”

"Learn from Nariyong in the future"

Before the words fell, I saw that Gardenia had walked out quickly with a happy face: "Madame is here!" ”

"I'm going back to Qianzhou tomorrow, you work hard here with Grandma Zhu," Qingwan instructed: "Have more snacks in everything." ”

Gardenia burst into tears: "Madame"

"Okay, don't say anything," Qingwan said: "I know you are reluctant, but it is more appropriate for you to stay in the capital." When I come back in the future, I will have the opportunity to meet. ”

"The slave and maid listen to Mrs. Lu's orders." Gardenia wiped her tears and replied solemnly.

Seeing that there was nothing to do in the shop, Qingwan didn't delay much, and when she went home for dinner, her parents urged her to go back to the room to pack her things.

"The two sons are back."

Hearing the maid's report, the whole room couldn't help but stand up, and they wanted to ask a stomach, and when they saw the tiredness on their faces, they all felt that it was difficult to speak.

"All things are taken care of?" It was Qing Boding who opened his mouth first.

"Yes," Han Guan hurriedly said: "All six departments have been dispatched, each performing its own duties, this is the first war since the emperor ascended the throne, so it is very important, and it has been prepared in just two days." ”
