After the first month, Li Cong sent the ten artillery pieces that had just been produced to the front line, because in this first month, the Khitan, Jurchen and Western Xia all stepped up their attacks on the Great Zhou, and the battle line was very long, stretching from Jizhou in the east to Gyeongju in the west, stretching for thousands of miles, Li Cong had no choice but to recruit soldiers from the people.

In addition, there is also bad news, Mrs. Lu has been bedridden since she fell ill a few years ago, and Li Cong sent the imperial doctor several times, but unfortunately it had little effect.

In this case, Lu Duan, Lu Zhu, Lu You, and Lu Ming should go home to see the old man for the last time, and if the old man really has something, they should all go home to worry, even if they are in love, they have to come back first to arrange the future.

But the war on the front line is tight, and at this time, transferring a few of them back will undoubtedly risk the future of Da Zhou, so Li Cong is really embarrassed.

For this reason, after thinking about it again and again, Li Cong ordered Yan Yan to go back to the Lu family every day, go early and return late, one is to serve the sick, although Yan Yan is separated from the Lu family, but Mrs. Lu is always Lu You's own grandmother, therefore, for Yan Yan's reputation, she should also go back to do her filial piety; The second is naturally to enlighten the elderly, because the imperial doctor said that the old lady is worried about illness and is too depressed, and Li Cong is well aware of Yan Yan's eloquence, so he handed over this important task to her.

Of course, Li Cong also knew Yan Yan's grievances and unwillingness, so he specially summoned Yan Yan in the south study and comforted her, telling her to focus on the overall situation and not to be discouraged at this critical time.

The emperor has said it to this point, what else can Yan Yan do?

Therefore, on the day when the second dragon raised his head in February, Yan Yan took Lu Jin, Lu Chu and Qingyu into the Lu Mansion, which was Yan Yan's second time in the Lu Mansion after more than two months after the winter solstice, and when he saw the old man lying on the kang with his cheekbones collapsed, Yan Yan's heart was also sour.

Because Yan Yan didn't let the maids report when she entered the door, when she approached the kang, the old lady was staring at the tent above her head in a daze, Chunmian and Chunxiao were by her side, Chunmian was still holding a medicine bowl in her hand, Chunxiao was talking in a low voice, seeing Yan Yan, Chunmian Chunxiao was surprised and happy, and hurriedly stood up, just about to say hello, Yan Yan waved his hand.

"Grandmother, we're coming to see you." Yan Yan suppressed his mood and stepped forward softly to say hello.

Old Mrs. Lu's eyes moved, she didn't seem to know Yan Yan, and she didn't seem to believe that the person in front of her was Yan Yan, seeing this, Yan Yan had to call again, "Grandmother, I brought Jin Niang and Ah Chu to see you." ”

Afterwards, Yan Yan motioned to Lu Jin and Lu Chu to call someone, and Lu Jin curtsied, "Great-grandmother, my brother and I have come to see you, great-grandmother, are you sick?" Have you taken your medicine properly? ”

"It's not that you just don't want to take medicine well, the eldest lady should persuade her great-grandmother." Chunmian looked at the old lady very embarrassed.

Yan Yan took the soup bowl in her hand and sat down next to the old lady, and then beckoned Lu Chu over, "Ah Chu, come, say hello to your great-grandmother." ”

"Okay." Lu Chu's speech was not very neat, and he could only say one word.

Mrs. Lu glanced at the pair of children with pink makeup, finally had some expression on her face, moved her lips, and said intermittently: "It's so good-looking, it's better than the picture picture, child." ”

Yan Yan smiled, "That is, I don't look at whose children it is, they say that these two children are with their father." ”

Looking at the old lady today, she specially dressed the two children in a festive red brocade brocade jacket, which set off the children's red lips and white teeth, plus Lu Jin's bun head and Lu Chu's braided shape, it is not like a villain on the New Year's painting.

Mrs. Lu first saw Yan Yan boasting, and then heard Yan Yan say that the children looked like their father, and their eyes were a little red, she remembered her debt to Lu You over the years, so she glanced at Chunmian, "Go and bring my box, pick something for the children, and I didn't give the children any New Year's money." ”

"Grandmother, don't worry, it's my fault, I didn't bring the children to see you in the first month, it's my filial piety first, I shouldn't have put those unpleasant old accounts on you. In the future, we will all look forward, if you want to come to my house, you can come to my house, if you don't want to come to my house, I will take the children to see you often. Yan Yan made a gesture first.

Old Lady Lu moved her mouth, she wanted to say something but didn't say it, Yan Yan stretched out her hand and comforted her chest, "Grandmother, come, let's take the medicine first, let's say anything slowly." ”

"Great-grandmother, you take medicine obediently, I still have some snacks here, I made it with my mother, it's sweet." Lu Jin pointed to the food box in Qingyu's hand.

"Yo, our mother will also make snacks?" Mrs. Lu forced herself to lean on, but suddenly thought of something, "Let the children stay away from me, don't get sick." ”

"Don't be afraid, the two of them are always running around outside, and they are real." Yan Yan replied.

In fact, she had already asked the imperial doctor first, and she knew that the old lady's illness would not be too bad before she brought Lu Jin and Lu Chu, but she didn't plan to let the children stay here all the time, and let Qingyu send them back first after talking to the old lady.

"Great-grandmother, take your medicine quickly, you have to be well, watch me and my brother grow up." Lu Jin saw his mother holding the medicine bowl, and spoke again to persuade him.

"Okay, listen to our mother, take medicine well, take it well, watch you grow up." Two lines of hot tears flowed from the corners of Mrs. Lu's eyes, but she took the initiative to open her mouth to take medicine.

Yan Yan personally fed her the medicine, and then waited for her to rinse her mouth, Lu Jin really took a piece of pastry, and the old lady reached out to take it and ate it with tears.

"Grandmother, a few days ago I saw the battle report on the front line from the emperor, my father and my husband held Youzhou together, the war report said that they wanted to take Shunzhou next, and the emperor had sent people to send ten artillery pieces over, saying that if Shunzhou was taken, it should be Nanjing City next, if Nanjing City was taken, the Khitans should withdraw to their hometown, and the sixteen states of Yanyun should return to the hands of Da Zhou, and the war should be over." Yan Yan picked some good news and said.

"Where's Erlang?" The old lady asked.

"The emperor ordered them to retreat to Jinyang City, saying that they would wait for the artillery here to come out and then attack Yanmen Pass, grandmother rest assured, the emperor knows in his heart, Yanmen Pass is dangerous, how can it be taken back so easily? In fact, it's okay, it just so happens that Yan Yu is here, and he can serve the second brother to recuperate for a while. ”

When the old lady heard that she didn't need Lu Ming to go on the expedition for the time being, she was a little relieved, but soon she remembered Yan Yu's pregnancy again, and the Zhu family refused to accept Yan Yu anymore, but Yan Yu was pregnant again, how can this knot be untied?

Thinking of this, the old lady became bored again, took Yan Yan's hand and begged her to think of a way.
