There were thunderstorms in the afternoon for several days, and the weather in the capital became less muggy, and there seemed to be water in the air. {with}{dream} щ{suimеng][lā}

The day of the martial arts examination is gradually approaching, and the discussion of this in the capital is becoming more and more intense, until the matter of the bandits in Jiangzhou has been transmitted to the capital one after another, and the attention of the whole people in Beijing has shifted to Jiangcheng, and the discussion is boiling.

I heard that the Wuju people who brought Beijing from Jiangcheng said that the waterway from Jiangcheng to Beijing was blocked by the gang of water bandits, and many people had to take a detour by land.

I heard that the villages around Jiangcheng were swept by water bandits, burned, killed, and plundered, leaving no room for survival, and now it is difficult to see cooking smoke within a radius of ten miles.

I heard that the water bandits are getting bigger and bigger, and the number has reached three or four thousand, besieging Jiangcheng, blocking the contact between Jiangcheng and the outside world, and the water and food in the city are afraid that they will not be able to support half a month.

Heard......

Duanmujun asked Wisteria to inquire about the news every day, but the more he inquired, the more worried he became, so he could only silently copy scriptures and pray for Li Tingyou and the people of Jiangcheng.

Several more days passed, until June 29, four days before the martial arts, Li Tingyu finally entered Beijing.

In the afternoon of the same day, the housekeeper of the Li Mansion took someone to send a cart of Eli Lilly, and all kinds of materials, dry goods, fat powder jewelry, etc. were piled up in most of the room.

The sisters met the housekeeper in person, asked a few more words, and after rewarding the red envelope, they let each other go back.

Li Tingyu entered Beijing safely, and the boulder in Duanmujun's heart finally fell.

After taking a sip of tea, she said with a smile: "Zhen Zhen, fortunately, Cousin You came in time, and then you can rest for three days, and then go to participate in the martial arts test after recuperating your spirits!" ”

Duanmu Fei nodded and said playfully: "Although Cousin You made a bit of a twist on the road this time, and was treated as a 'wronged leader' again, but as the saying goes, if you don't come to Jitai, presumably your cousin's luck will come soon." ”

Suckers? Duanmu Jun was stunned, then thought of something and looked around.

At this time, the sun has been tilted to the west, reflecting the western sky, like a brocade of red glow filled the air, reflecting the glow of the room, dyeing a halo on the material that piled up most of the room, purple and red, very good-looking.

Most of these materials are red and purple, and the color is bright at first glance, and then you will find that the color pattern of the material has long been outdated, I am afraid that it is the material from a few years ago.

There are also some dried goods such as red dates, cinnamon, and preserved fruits that are not special products of Minzhou, but those that are common in Beijing......

Duanmujun suddenly figured it out, and said nonchalantly: "Break the wealth and eliminate the disaster, it doesn't matter if you lose something, it's okay if you are fine." ”

Li Tingyou must have brought a gift when he set off from Minzhou, but there was chaos in Jiangcheng, and it is estimated that everything was lost, and most of the materials and dry goods sent just now were bought casually after arriving in the capital. Li Tingyou is a man and a military general, where will he understand the matter of materials, it is estimated that he will ask the shopkeeper to help pick it at will, and the shopkeeper simply packed the materials that cannot be sold to him.

Wisteria and pothos were confused when they heard it, and looked at each other: What kind of wrongs, ruining wealth and eliminating disasters?! How come the girls can understand every word they say, but they don't understand it when they connect it?!

Seeing that the masters were obviously in a good mood, Luluo asked, "Fourth girl, what are you talking about with the eldest girl, I can hear the slave maid in the clouds." ”

The two sisters exchanged a tacit look and laughed "poof", the laughter echoing in the room, mixed with Duanmu's unhurried explanation, and laughter.

With the arrival of Li Tingyou, the tense atmosphere of Zhanqing Courtyard these days was suddenly swept away, and the sisters discussed and made some snacks with their own hands and told Mama Zhang to send them to Xiangyun Lane, which was the case for two consecutive days, and in the afternoon of the next day, Mama Zhang just left with her front foot, and Duanmuxian sent a mother-in-law to pass the word and invite them to go to Yongxi Hall.

At this time, it was not yet time, it was not the time of morning and dusk, and there were only two people in the eastern room, Duanmu Xian and He.

The room was quiet, only the slight clashing of tea cups, and the lush foliage of the courtyard reflected the green of the room, and the afternoon time was extraordinarily quiet.

After the two sisters saluted, Duanmuxian asked them to sit down, and without talking nonsense, they got down to business: "Sister Jun, Sister Scarlet, both of you know about the arrival of the third cousin of your Li family in the capital, right?" ”

"Grandfather, grandmother, yesterday afternoon, the third cousin of the Li family sent someone to report safety." Duanmujun put her hands on her knees, her eyes were clear, she wore a pair of red pomegranate beads on her sideburns, reflecting the girl's jade-like face, and her eyebrows were heroic.

Duanmuxian nodded, and said: "The emperor just announced his audience this morning, and this time he made meritorious contributions to defending the city in Jiangcheng and suppressing bandits, and the emperor praised him greatly. ”

The emperor praised Li Tingyou in front of the Manchu Dynasty for being a tiger father without a dog and a hero from a young man, and his appreciation was overflowing.

In the past two years, the emperor likes to use those young people who have real talents and learning, Li Tingyou can be said to be "immortal in great calamity, there will be blessings in the future", as long as his results in the July martial arts examination are not too bad, he will definitely be reused!

Duanmuxian was in a good mood, his eyebrows and eyes were stretched, and his voice was bright, but He Shi on the side was pale and just drank tea by himself.

"Grandfather, since Cousin Yu has arrived in the capital, then Jiangcheng is okay now, right? Are all those water bandits in ruin? Duanmu asked with concern, looking at Duanmu Xian with big black and white eyes.

Duanmuxian nodded, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the three thousand reinforcements from the Xishan battalion arrived in time at the critical moment, defeated the water bandits in one fell swoop, and relieved the siege of Jiangcheng. The gang of water bandits has gone, only hundreds of remnant bandits are fleeing near Jiangcheng, and your cousin of the Li family wants to come to Beijing to take the exam, so he will rush to the capital from Jiangcheng first. Next, there will be Feng Gongzi leading reinforcements to guard Jiangcheng, and it will be a matter of time before the chaos is completely quelled......"

Duanmu Fei listened with a smile at first, but when he heard "Feng Gongzi" from Duanmu Xian's mouth, his eyes suddenly widened slightly, and the smile froze at the corner of his mouth.

She hurriedly picked up the teacup to hide the discoloration on her face, and secretly swallowed her saliva: The Feng Gongzi that Duanmuxian said should not be Feng Yan, right? It seems that he has received another thankless errand this time.

It's been more than half a month, do you have to send some kidney bean rolls to the princess's mansion? Duanmu's face was tangled, and Sakura's lips were holding the edge of the teacup.

Duanmuxian didn't mention much about the battle situation, and after he picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea, he turned his head to the He family and said, "Amin, Li Sangongzi came alone this time, and there are no elders to take care of him. Our two families are in-laws, so I invited him to stay in the house for a few days. In the past, the two families were far away and it was not easy to move around, but now that people have come to the capital, we must also do our best to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. ”

"Yes, old lady." He immediately responded, and his joy and anger were invisible.

The ancestors and grandchildren talked again, and Duanmuxian sent the sisters away......

In the evening of this day, when the sun had set for the most part, it was dark inside and outside the house, and Mama You suddenly came to Zhanqing Courtyard.

"Big girl, fourth girl, Mrs. Tai sent a post to Xiangyun Lane in the afternoon, and I got a reply from that side just now, Third Young Master Li said that he was going to try the martial arts club soon, and he had to recharge his energy these days, so he could only refuse Mrs. Tai's kindness."

Duanmu Jun replied and greeted politely: "I'm bothering Mama You." ”

After Mama You finished her errand, she immediately took her leave.

Duanmu Fei's eyes were half-lowered, and he looked thoughtfully at the pair of colorful butterfly embroidered toe caps exposed by the skirt, and Duanmu's crisp voice came from his ears: "It's ......good for cousin Yu to stay in Xiangyun Lane and prepare for the exam quietly."

After all, there are many people in Shangshu Mansion, and if Li Tingyou lives in, it will inevitably have some unnecessary entertainment, so it is better to clean up in Xiangyun Lane.

"My sister is right." Duanmu Fei's eyes flashed, and he echoed, "At this time, it is better for my cousin to have more time to recuperate." ”

Although Duanmu said this, he felt that there was something wrong with Li Tingyou's actions.

The Duanmu family and the Li family are thousands of miles apart, and they have not communicated for many years, even if the Li family does not want to see the Duanmu family in their hearts, the He family, as an elder, has already made a post in person, and Li Tingyou, as a junior, even if he does not live small, he has to come to Duanmu Xian and the He family to ask for peace.

If the two families really reached the point of tearing their faces, Li Tingyou would not send someone to give gifts to their sisters......

Could it be that something happened to Li Tingyou?

Duanmu's scarlet eyes condensed slightly, and he sighed: It's a pity that there is no one available in his hands, so he still has to train some people to come out as soon as possible.

"Sister, let Mama Li send the peace charm I asked for last time......

While the sisters were talking, Mama Zhang came in and personally brought the two girls golden silk date soup.

Seeing that the two of them were discussed, Mama Zhang couldn't help but show a look of relief, and secretly said with a sigh in her heart: Xu is blessed by God, whether the two girls are here Jitai, since the catastrophe in Yang Hezhuang, the four girls seem to have opened their hearts...... In the future, the two girls will help each other, and the days will definitely get better and better, and the old lady will know everything and rest in peace.

Thinking about it, Mama Zhang's eyes were sour, and her heart fluctuated. She took a deep breath and smiled casually: "Big girl, fourth girl, let's eat some golden silk date soup." ”

The golden silk date soup is made by boiling the golden silk amber dates over low heat, and the amber-like dates are stewed softly, and the golden silk wisps in the soup are sweet and sweet.

Duanmu Fei couldn't help but eat half a bowl of sweet golden silk date soup, and then asked casually with a smile: "Mama Zhang, have the new maids been taught?" ”
