The mother and son talked together, had lunch again, and Feng Yan returned to his study in the outer courtyard. {with}{dream} щ{suimеng][lā}

The windows of the study were open, and two pots of gardenia bonsai were placed on the windowsill, and the fragrance of flowers lingered in the breeze.

"Luofeng," Feng Yan instructed the little servant in a deep voice, "You go and tell Mo Yi and let him check the four girls of the Duanmu family, no matter how big or small, I want to know everything!" ”

Although the little guy didn't know why, he immediately responded with a fist: "Yes, Childe." ”

After the little guy retreated, only Feng Yan was left in the study, sitting there in a daze, with expectation, dazedness, and apprehension in his eyes......

Outside the window, the breeze was gusting, and the branches and leaves in the courtyard were swaying and rustling, as if whispering.

This night, Feng Yan almost stayed awake all night, all he thought about was his words, her smile, her joys, sorrows, and every word she said......

Early the next morning, at dawn, after saying goodbye to his mother, Princess Anping, he set off in good spirits.

He knew he would return safely, because he had many, many things to do...... He still has a lot of doubts and guesses to verify!

Two days later, Duanmu and Tang also set off for Rendi.

They had to arrive in mid-July, and they had already dragged on until they couldn't drag it out, so they left the capital with a sad face and a slow face.

He reluctantly sent his son away, let them bring enough guards, and brought eight carts of things, but this was because they were afraid that ten cars would be too eye-catching, so they reluctantly reduced two more cars.

He's mood was depressed for a long time, and he had to think about another thing, Tang was gone, Xiao He was punished, and for a while, Shangshu Mansion had no candidate for a housekeeper, so she couldn't be allowed to be so old, and she was still in charge of trivial matters.

So, when Duanmu Xian returned to the house from time to time, the He family sent his subordinates back, talked to him about the matter with a look of observation, and asked tentatively: "...... Whether to let the second daughter-in-law come out to take care of the housekeeper again, she must have known that she was wrong. ”

Duanmu Xian, who was drinking tea, took a meal in his hand, slowly brought the rim of the cup to his lips, and drank the hot tea lightly, his eyes were deep.

He has never cared about the affairs of the inner house, but Xiao He's actions are too reckless, he offended Cen Yin last time, and he doesn't know what trouble he will cause to the Duanmu family next time.

But now there is really no one in the house to take care of it, and you can't let the four or five rooms of the concubine take care of it, and it is also the face of the lower Mufu to say it......

Duanmuxian put down the teacup and let out a faint "um".

Seeing him agree, He's face was overjoyed, but the next moment he heard Duanmuxian continue: "Amin, Sister Wei'er is not too young, and it is time to say goodbye in the coming year, let her help her second aunt take care of the house together." ”

He spoke in a suggestive tone, which was actually non-negotiable.

The corners of He's mouth stiffened slightly, she is a smart person, they have been husband and wife for decades, of course she understands the intention of the person next to the pillow, he is clearly dissatisfied with Xiao He's, and plans to use Duanmujun's girl to contain Xiao He's, so that the two can balance each other, and can teach Xiao He's a lesson.

He Shi half-lowered his eyes, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

Of course, she is unwilling to let Duanmujun take charge of the family, but the situation in front of her does not allow her to choose, if she refuses, with Duanmuxian's temper, I am afraid that the fourth or fifth daughter-in-law will be on top, and it will be even more troublesome.

Duanmujun, a little girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet, will get married sooner or later in two years, but the fourth daughter-in-law and the fifth daughter-in-law are different...... Taking a step back, the second daughter-in-law has been acting a little out of tune recently...... It's good to grind her temperament with a wooden reel!

Thinking of this, the corners of He's mouth curled, and he responded gently: "What the old lady said is true." ”

Seeing that He Shi's general knowledge was general, Duanmu Xian stroked his beard with satisfaction, and the atmosphere in the room softened a little.

Duanmu first took two sips of tea, and then talked about another matter: "Amin, the people of the Li family are cleaning up the house in Xiangyun Lane these days, presumably the Li family Saburo is about to arrive." You send someone to keep an eye on the dot and prepare the ceremony. ”

After Duanmuxian went out, he sent the eldest maid to Zhanqing Courtyard to call the Duanmujun sisters over, and praised Duanmujun with a pleasant face, similar to Wen Chun and quiet, and sensible in governance, and then took advantage of the situation to take over the Tang family's head of the family, so that Duanmu Jun would learn housekeeping with Xiao He's family in the future, and Li Jiazaburo would soon come to Beijing One by one, and told the sisters to prepare early.

Hearing that the Li family was coming, Duanmu Jun was overjoyed and thanked the He family...... Until the sisters returned to Zhanqing Courtyard, Duanmujun still danced with his eyebrows, and it was difficult to hide the bright color of the girl between the descriptions.

"Sister," Duanmu Fei pulled Duanmu Jun to sit down on the Luohan bed, looked at her with shining eyes and said coquettishly, "Tell me about my grandfather's family!" ”

Looking at his sister's cute little face, the smile in Duanmu's eyes deepened and told the story.

The Li family has been in the military for generations, and the hereditary four-grade Mozhou guard commanded the affairs, which was originally guarded at the border pass of Mozhou in the northeast, until eight years ago, the sea was plagued by the Japanese robbers, burning, killing, plundering, and doing all kinds of evil, and the Li family was ordered to leave the border pass and go to Minzhou to serve as the chief soldier and guard one side. Since then, the Minzhou Navy has won great victories one after another, exterminating many bandits and pirates, and Minzhou has gradually settled down.

Now the maternal grandparents Li Zongbing and his wife are still alive, in addition to the Li family, the Li family also has five sons, all of whom are good men who fight on the battlefield and defend the country, but Li Erye and Li Siye died at sea a few years ago......

While speaking, Duanmujun's expression became solemn, with a faint hint of sadness.

The glory and wealth of the Li family's generation are all fought in the sea of blood with the lives of the Li family's sons.

Duanmu Fei blinked, deliberately changed the topic, and said, "Sister, isn't it that when my grandfather, grandmother, and uncle left Mozhou, I was just over one year old?" ”

"yes. I was only five years old that year. Duanmujun couldn't help but reach out and rub the top of his sister's soft hair, looking at his sister's slightly curled hair, the corners of his mouth raised happily.

Duanmujun's memory went back to a long, long time ago, and he said with a nostalgic face: "I still remember that Mozhou is only two days away from Fuqing City, and when I was a child, my mother often took me to my grandfather's house to live ......."

"My grandfather, grandmother and uncles were very kind, and my cousins were very kind to me, and I don't know what they looked like now."

"The third cousin of the Li family is called Li Tingyou, he is one year older than me, he should be fourteen years old this year, he is a martial artist at a young age, he must be a blue ......," Duanmujun said proudly.

The corners of Duanmu's mouth were crooked, listening attentively, occasionally interjecting and asking a word or two.

When the Li family set off for Minzhou, the original body was only one year old, and they had no impression of the Li family at all, and Duanmufei could only find out the information about the Li family from Duanmujun's words.

Duanmujun obviously has a very good impression of the Li family, and the words are all picked up and said, but the doubts in Duanmufei's heart are even stronger.

According to Duanmujun, even when the Li family first went to Minzhou, the two families still exchanged courtesies from time to time...... In other words, it was only after the death of the Li family that the contact with the Li family became less and less.

And since they returned to Beijing, in the past three years, the Li family has never sent anyone to greet them, as if they didn't know that their sisters were in Shangshu Mansion.

But Duanmujun didn't seem to think of this at all, and said with a smile: "Zhen Zhen, the third cousin of the Li family is coming soon, we have to prepare a meeting gift first!" ”

Duanmujun was in a good mood, and took Duanmufei to the small study together, and the sisters made a gift list together.

In the small study, the crisp voices of the sisters echoed, and the laughter was endless.

In the next few days, Duanmujun was preparing the ceremony with great interest, while looking forward to it, waiting for the arrival of Li Jiazaburo Li Tingyou, but she counted her fingers and looked forward to it day after day, and in a blink of an eye, it was June 20, but she had not yet seen the Li family arrive in the capital.

The more Duanmu Jun waited, the more anxious she became, and she specially sent Mama Zhang to inquire about the Li Mansion in Xiangyun Lane in person, and she was even more worried about this question.

It turned out that the steward of the Li family in the capital was also in a hurry, saying that he had received a letter before, and the third young master should arrive in the capital around June 10, but it had been another ten days, but he hadn't even seen anyone who reported the news.

After Mama Zhang finished the ceremony, there was silence in the room, and the air seemed to be heavy.

Duanmu frowned, and muttered worriedly, "Could it be that something happened to Cousin Yu on the road?" ”

Duanmu Fei also felt that things were a little strange, it stands to reason that the Li family is a family of military generals, and the third son of the Li family went to Beijing, and the attendants with him should not be those who are ignorant of the world, what is hindering their pace?

Although Duanmu Fei's heart was a little bottomless, he was silent, and was trying to comfort Duanmu Jun, when he saw that Mama Zhang's face was wandering, and it seemed that he wanted to stop talking, so he changed his words: "Mama Zhang, what else is going on?" ”

Catching up with the inquiring eyes of the two girls, Mama Zhang took out a folded piece of silk paper from her cuff and presented it to Duanmu Jun and said, "Big girl, when the slave maid returned to the house just now, she was bumped by a seven or eight-year-old child outside the house, and the child stuffed this note to the slave maid...... I don't know if it's a prank. ”

Duanmujun quickly unfolded the note, only to see that there were only four words written on the note: Jiangcheng banditry.
