Duanmuxian stroked his beard with his left hand and smiled with satisfaction.

Duanmu Fei added tea to him again.

When Duanmu Xian's eyes looked at Duanmu Fei again, he couldn't help but think of the incident when Feng Yan came to him yesterday, and his heart was a little complicated.

Feng Yan, a stinky boy who doesn't learn anything, is frivolous and has no form, and he is not worthy of his granddaughter, but he is a smart person who can understand the situation in Dasheng today......

Duanmu Xian sighed secretly in his heart.

The emperor was bent on seeking peace, and most of the Northern Yan refused to make peace, and when the time came, the northern border and even Dasheng were afraid that it would be chaotic again.

He is the head of the Duanmu family, and in addition to the country, he also has to consider the "family".

He had to plan ahead.

It's just that in an instant, Duanmu Xian was already thinking about it, and raised his eyes to Duanmu Jun and Duanmu Fei and said: "Sister Jun, four girls, when Brother Heng gets married, let them accompany you two sisters and send your father's and mother's remains back to the ancestral grave in your hometown for burial." ”

There was silence in the study.

Duanmu Fei didn't say anything, Duanmu Heng was shocked all of a sudden, his eyes widened slightly on his elegant face, and he couldn't help asking: "Grandfather, do you think that Beiyan will break through the pass and go south?" ”

Wouldn't it be ......

Duanmu Heng couldn't even think about it. Over the years, he has heard his grandfather talk a lot about the court, and he also knows that this dynasty is full of holes and misty.

But knowing that the Dasheng Dynasty has been around for more than 100 years after all, and it has also encountered many crises, but every time, it has survived......

He still had a glimmer of hope for Dasheng in his heart.

Duanmu Xian's expression was heavy, rubbing the teacup in his hand, and he sighed, "This is the worst possibility." ”

If the Northern Yan continues to wave troops from Lingwu City, breaks the Jingyuan Pass, and goes directly south, then the Central Plains will be torn apart, and I am afraid that the Northern Yan people will soon hit the capital, compared to the fact that the hometown in the south of the Yangtze River is thousands of miles away, and it is safer there.

That's why Duanmu Xian wanted Duanmu Heng and Ji Lanzhou to get married as soon as possible, for this reason.

He is half a hundred people, and he has only a few years, so he has to leave a way for his children and grandchildren to live.

It's just that......

Duanmu Xian sighed again, and said helplessly: "Feng Yan, that kid, I'm afraid he can't leave Beijing...... The emperor has become more and more defensive against him over the years. ”

Fortunately, this stinky boy was taught well by the eldest princess of Anping, and he is quite shrewd, and he is very good at judging the situation, so he may be able to find an opportunity.

Duanmu Xian squinted thoughtfully, thinking about it carefully, since Feng Yan returned to Beijing from the north four years ago, this kid has not suffered any losses, and he has been very prosperous, and he has also "arched" his granddaughter.

"Grandfather, I'm not leaving." Duanmu Jun said decisively, with a firm expression on his bright face and bright eyes, "You let Ah Heng take my sister back." ”

Duanmujun's mind couldn't help but have a beautiful and smiling face.

She knew that if she really reached this point one day, it would be impossible for Gongzi Cen to leave Beijing.

So, she didn't want to go.

The room was quiet again, pins could be heard, and even the wind seemed to have stopped outside the window.

Duanmu scarlet took a sour plum in his mouth, and squinted his eyes sourly.

After swallowing the sour plum, she spoke out to comfort Duanmu Xian and said, "Grandfather, don't think about it so much first. ”

Duanmu Xian raised his eyes and looked at Duanmu Fei.

Duanmu took a sip of tea and removed the sour plum flavor in his mouth.

"Grandfather, you are the first assistant, and the government and the opposition are staring at it." Duanmufei said unhurriedly, "At this time, no matter what excuse is used, it is impossible to send the family back to their hometown...... Besides, my father and mother have been dead for so many years. ”

"......" Duanmu Xian's lips pursed into a straight line and fell silent.

He also cares about chaos, after all, it is messed up.

He had just pushed the errand to negotiate peace in the north by falling off his horse, and at this delicate moment, no matter what excuse he used to leave Beijing, I am afraid it would only cause people to think too much.

Duanmu Fei continued: "However, after the eldest brother and sister-in-law get married, they can return to their hometown in Jiangnan in the name of going to the ancestral tree and sweeping the ancestral grave. However, my sister and I will go again, it will be too eye-catching. ”

Duanmu Fei made a righteous statement on the surface, but in his heart he thought: How can she go?!

The Chu family, Feng Yan and her grandfather are all in the capital, and she is not going anywhere.

"Grandfather, I'm not leaving." Duanmu Heng also refused to go, his dark eyes were firm and calm, and he was as immobile as a mountain.

Duanmu Xian looked around at these three outstanding grandchildren, and his heart was both proud and worried.

The children in the family are unassertive, unproductive, and sad; The children in the family are too assertive and promising, and they are also very sad.

"Grandfather, it's not time to leave." Duanmu Fei said seriously, those black and white eyes were clear and bright, like a mirror, "In case Beiyan really breaks through, big brother, when that time comes, you must take care of the overall situation, go back to your hometown first, and if you need to respond at home in the future, it will be convenient." ”

"......" Duanmu Heng pursed his lips and stopped talking.

He knew that Duanmu Fei was right, if this day really came, he would be the eldest grandson of the Duanmu family, and he would have to take charge of the future of the Duanmu family, and he couldn't be rash.

Duanmuxian drank tea again, a little absent-minded.

He's only preparing for the worst now, and Dasheng won't necessarily come to this point. There is a good chance that this peace talks will not come to fruition, and then the emperor will have to fight.

As long as the emperor is willing to fight with all his might, unlike when King Jian set out on the expedition before, there were many hesitations and obstructions...... With all his strength to reinforce the northern border and reunite the military spirit, Dasheng is still seventy or eighty percent sure that he can defeat the Northern Yan.

Anyway, the matter has come to this, Duanmu Xian no longer thinks about these troubles, puts down the teacup, and says, "Four girls, you accompany your grandfather to play chess." ”

"Okay, will I let my grandfather have five sons this time?" Duanmu said obediently.

She knew that this game of chess would definitely not be able to pass Duanmu Xian, not to mention, he was now injured in his arm, and he could justifiably rest and not go to the yamen, there was more time.

Anyway, she is the most filial granddaughter.

In the next few days, Duanmuxian played chess with Duanmufei every day, and Duanmuheng's marriage was handed over to Duanmujun, fortunately, the twenty-seventh day of the national funeral has passed, even if the marriage is a little earlier, it will not be in the way.

Although the wedding date was set in a hurry, there was everything in the house, and when Xiao He's was still there, he had already saved up the dowry for his son, and Duanmu Jun only needed to add one or two.

That is, the yard is a little anxious, fortunately, Duanmu Jun has repaired the house for the hot spring Zhuangzi and the house in Jinli Hutong before, and he is already very experienced, so he found the craftsman who helped to repair it before to repair the Hanlian Courtyard in the northeast of Duanmu Mansion.

Duanmu Heng's family affairs were in such a hurry, and naturally they were also seen by the various prefectures in Beijing, so someone took advantage of the opportunity to visit Duanmu Mansion and asked Duanmu Xian curiously.

Duanmuxian said with a sad face, He's health has been bad recently, please invite famous doctors in Beijing, or the situation is getting worse, it seems that he can't survive the autumn, so he thought that the eldest grandson could get married early on the one hand, he could give the He family Chong Chong joy, on the other hand, the eldest grandson is also old, in case he wants to keep filial piety, he will have to delay the county lord of Hejing for three years, it is better to advance the marriage.

He has not been out of the house to see people for two years since he suffered from madness, and he has been ill for a long time, and many people in Beijing know about it.

Duanmu Xian's words were reasonable, and they didn't arouse too much suspicion.

The news spread in Beijing, and it was inevitable that it also reached the ears of the emperor, and the emperor and the queen also sighed that the lord of Hejing County was reasonable, and the marriage was in such a hurry, or Chongxi entered the mansion in the name of Chongxi, and she also accepted it.

The emperor ordered the empress to reward a lot of things to add makeup to the county lord of Hejing.

However, Wuyang's wedding is more urgent.

On the first day of the eighth month, the Inner Court Division sent a dowry, and Duanmu Jun and Duanmu Fei both went to the Eldest Princess's Mansion to add makeup to Wuyang.

Originally, the princess was supposed to marry in the palace, but Wuyang insisted on marrying in her own princess's mansion, the emperor was weak-hearted, and the queen loved her daughter, so she didn't force her.

In the princess's mansion, it is still the same as on weekdays, there is no red and joy, and it is not like there will be a happy event tomorrow at all.

The sisters arrived early, and only Hanxing arrived before them.

The Inner Court Division was giving Wuyang a list of dowries, and when they arrived, Wuyang had just finished reading it.

"Your Highness, the servant has retired."

The eunuch of the Inner Court Division immediately retired with interest, and next, the dowry list would be sent from the princess's mansion to King Jane's mansion along with the princess's dowry.
