Li Sui is actually not sure whether this woman surnamed Yao is the Yao family, and he thinks the Yao family. He also heard the news from the capital not long ago, saying that Du Xin, the general of Shenwu, had already married a new love and married a bride, who was the sister of the new Yunlu general Yongdong.

General Yunlu's sister naturally can't be a partial house, so where did Du Xin's original wife, Yao Hei'er, Brother Yao's daughter, go?

Should you tell Mrs. Wen about this? After hesitating for a long time, he thought it was better to hide it, this sister-in-law, who had experienced great changes in the family, was now skinny, and it seemed that a gust of wind could blow down, and she could no longer withstand another blow.

This woman surnamed Yao, who claims to be named Cuiling and has a noble temperament, is considered by Kou Yue to be a woman who may be a spy, and between her eyebrows and eyes, she is vaguely similar to Mrs. Wen.

The words can't be explained, they can only let them meet, isn't it, there is an answer.

After getting Kou Yue's categorical answer, he was also relieved, he knew that this beloved general was by no means a duplicitous person, nor was he a flatterer. Calculate the time, if they are really mother and daughter, they should have recognized each other.

Thinking of this, Li Sui couldn't sit still, and said to Kou Yue: "You wait a while, I'll come when I go." ”

Kou Yue was just about to speak, but Li Sui had already taken three steps and made two steps, and hurriedly turned into the back hall.

"There is something unusual about this general today." Kou Yue thought helplessly in his heart, and paced to the window boredly.

The rain outside was still crackling, covering a white rain curtain in front of the window, and making huge splashes on the ground. Several pots of rhododendrons full of pink flowers, swaying in the wind and struggling in the torrential rain. The tulip frame on the south wall was blown away by the wind, and only the weapon rack on the west side of the courtyard stood majestically and did not move at all.

A man dressed in a cloak and a hat came in through the door, and did not go through the verandahs on either side, but had to pass through the rain curtain, trot, and go straight to the room. When he got to the bottom of the porch, he took off his coat, took off his hat, shook the rain on it, and said to himself, "What the hell! Why is it raining so heavily! ”

At this time, Kou Yue by the window saw clearly that it was Li Xuan, the only son of General Li Sui, so he hurriedly walked out of the room, arched his hand, and said with a smile: "Young General, what are you doing?" ”

Li Gong didn't watch out for someone in the house, and when he heard the voice, he hurriedly turned around and said with a smile: "Brother Duqian! So you're here. He poked his head into the room and said, "My father is not here?" ”

Kou Yue hurriedly said: "I'll talk to the general, he just went inside, let me wait." ”

Li Gong let out an "oh" and said with a smile: "My father asked me to buy a few fine sable skins, and as soon as I went out, it fell like this, and I didn't buy anything, and I was drenched in the rain." ”

The two entered the room hand in hand, and Kou Yue asked, "Okay, why did the general remember to buy sable skin?" And it's going to be summer. ”

Li Xuan sneered: "You don't know, now the person in charge of soldiers, horses, grain, grass and military supplies in the imperial court is the new Lord Sima Chen, we are now in the hands of others, and if people are not satisfied, they will not send you food, grass and military supplies." The hundreds of thousands of troops in Jiyan City, without the imperial court to allocate these, only rely on the taxes of the people in this vicinity, which cannot be supported for a day, so they have to please this Lord Chen in every possible way, I heard that his birthday is coming, and my father has to prepare some birthday gifts. I'm going to stop for the past two days, saying that I'm being sent to send it over. I really don't want to do this, and I'm afraid that my father will be angry and have such a ghost weather again! ”

Kou Yue shook his head helplessly and sighed: "I am a person who has been at the border, I only know how to lead troops to fight, and I don't know anything about the affairs of the court, who is this Lord Chen?" ”

Li Gong sneered again, and said disdainfully: "Speaking of this Lord Chen, it's amazing, although people can't write or martial arts, but they have a good daughter, who is the concubine of the West Palace today, who is extremely favored, and even the queen can't help her, so the father of the family got this good errand." Those of us who have made great contributions to the peace of the frontier are not as useful as a nepot. This Xu Guo—"

Kou Yue hurriedly interrupted him and persuaded, "Why should the young general be angry? There are some things that must never be said. Let's only do what we do, that's it. Which country and which dynasty, there are not a few people who rely on nepotism to ascend to power? I had to bear with it. ”

Li Quan was about to speak, but saw that Li Sui had already walked out from behind.

He just quietly sat next to the ear room, looked at the mother and daughter who were hugging and crying in the room, and then went into the room to tell Mrs. Wen, and ordered the little girl to invite the mother and daughter to talk to Mrs. Wen's room. After a few more words of explanation with his wife, he came out.

Kou Yue and Li Gong both hurriedly stood up, and Li Sui said to Li Gong: "Did you buy the mink?" ”

Li Gong didn't dare to be casual in front of his father, stood with his hands down respectfully, and said with a smile: "Dad, look at the weather, I just arrived at the market, and it started to rain, so I had to come back in a hurry." When the rain stops tomorrow, my son will go earlier. ”

Li Sui nodded, pondered for a while, and said, "You go back to your own room, you don't have to go in to see your mother." "Before a son goes out, he should ask his parents for instructions; After returning home, you have to report to your parents, which is the rule of the Li family. Therefore, his father's inexplicable words made Li Spring look dazed, but seeing his father's serious face, he didn't dare to say much, so he had to give another salute and retreat cautiously.

Li Sui walked to the window and looked at the courtyard, it was empty, because of the heavy rain, people were hiding in the ear room, he retreated, bent down to Kou Yue, and bowed deeply.

Panicked, Kou Yue jumped up, knelt down in a hurry, and said: "If the general has anything to say, just give orders, the general is the same as my father, how dare I accept the general's courtesy and torture me!" ”

Li Sui stretched out his hand to help Kou Yue up, and sighed and said, "Do you know who that woman is?" ”

By the candlelight, Kou Yue clearly saw that this half-lifed, iron-clad general had a faint flickering tear in his eyes, and he became more and more surprised in his heart, and said hesitantly: "General, who is she?" ”

Li Sui turned his back and dipped his cuffs in the tears that slipped from the corners of his eyes, before turning back to Kou Yue and saying, "She is the daughter of Yao Dian, the former protector general. ”

Although Kou Yue was at the border, although Kou Yue never liked to inquire about those things in the court, but a year ago, King Zhen rebelled, and the Yao family was copied, and everyone in Xu Guo knew about it.

Kou Yue still clearly remembered that when the news reached Jiyan City, the face of Li Sui, the general on the edge of the town, was as gloomy as frost and snow, and he didn't say a word for a long time. Later, Tang Ji, who was always shaking a goose feather fan and never leaving General Li's side, disappeared for two or three months inexplicably.

Kou Yue understood everything in his heart, and opened his mouth wide in surprise, wanting to say something but couldn't.

Li Sui looked at Kou Yue, and said slowly: "I and the general who protected the country are brothers who were born and died, I believe that he will never rebel, and his family should not be implicated." His wife and daughter-in-law, I have long been at home, a few days ago, I heard that his daughter was divorced by her mother-in-law's family, but I don't know where she is gone, I want to find but nowhere to find, I don't want to be saved by you. You are her benefactor, just like my benefactor. ”

"Oh, oh, oh!" Kou Yue slowly returned to normal, and said busily: "General, don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this matter, even if it's a cheap one, I will keep it a secret!" ”

Li Sui stared at Kou Yue's face tightly and said, "I naturally believe you, otherwise I wouldn't have told you." Since you've sent someone, I should give you an answer. In my opinion, I will not let her go back, reunite with her mother and sister-in-law in my house for a few days, talk about it, and listen to her arrangements if she has any plans in the future. ”

Not going back? Kou Yue's heart felt a faint sense of loss, and he said busily and seriously: "Since she is the daughter of the general's friend, it is naturally more suitable for the general to arrange it." It's just—it's just—"

Li Sui glanced at Kou Yue strangely, and Kou Yue hurriedly said: "It's just that the injury on her arm is not yet, and the general still has to take care of it." ”

Li Sui seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said: "Don't worry about this, I also have good gold sore medicine in my house, let her mother and sister-in-law help her change it personally, that's it." ”

Kou Yue thought about it, and had no other words, so he had to say goodbye to Li Sui.

Li Sui smiled: "What are you busy with?" On a rainy day, stay a guest day, eat and then go, and there is nothing important about today. After putting the wine and food on the table, Li Sui ordered his family to call Li Gong to accompany him.

The three of them listened to the sound of the rain, drank the elixir, and talked about some things in the army. It seems that the reunion of mother and daughter in the inner courtyard is far, far away from them.
