The Lan State has always been able to prevent the attacks of the surrounding small peoples, so that they can continue to pay tribute, mainly because the general of the current dynasty conquered the general of the northern part.

When it comes to the general of the expedition to the north, it can be said that everyone in the whole country knows about it, and no one knows it.

The original name of the general of Zhengbei was Lianfang.

Even the family has produced generals for generations, and I don't know if it's family feng shui, or because of proper education, almost everyone in the family is brave and good at fighting, and they fight a good battle.

And in the middle of this, Lian Fang is even more outstanding, when he was only 14 years old, he was already able to follow his father to the battlefield. It was also from that moment that a seed was planted in his heart, and he believed that one day he would be like his own father to break out of the boundary, all the people who rushed to invade.

And yet he did the same, and did it very well. He officially joined the army when he was 16 years old, and then he didn't rely on his family, he started directly as a small soldier, and spent a full 5 years to climb up step by step.

To this day, he has succeeded in making his name a household name, and after he became a general, the enemies of the border will involuntarily fear and retreat as long as they hear his name.

The title given to him by the first emperor was Zhengbei, precisely because as long as there was a place for him to guard, no one dared to violate the northern border.

It's just that the general of Zhengbei is a little arrogant, but it is normal for capable people to have a little temper. Besides, I heard that even the general, who is isolated from the world, can say whatever he wants, and sometimes even if it offends the emperor's face, he doesn't care about it at all, and he does what he wants to say.

This sounds like a person with some tendons, but he is a well-known strict wife in the entire capital. He has a wife, no matter where he is, in front of anyone, as long as his wife is in front of him, he will turn into a finger twister.

Lian Fang, the general of Zhengbei, is a man with a very rough appearance, but his wife is a woman from a small family in the southern water town.

I heard that the process of the two acquaintances is also quite legendary, when the general of Zhengbei went out, he was accidentally ambushed, and as a result, he was injured and fell into the river. It happened that he was washed on the shore, and was bumped into by his current wife, who took care of him after he fished him out of the river, and the two had feelings for each other, and then left quietly, when his wife thought that he would not say goodbye. As a result, Lian Fang won the battle, and even went to his wife's house in armor to propose marriage, which frightened his wife, and at the same time moved him.

If you think that the story ends here, then you are very wrong, don't look at his wife was very moved at the time, and she is from the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, she looks soft and weak, but she also has her own temperament.

His wife was not confused by the general's uniform at that time, and then immediately agreed to propose marriage to the general, but asked a few questions first.

"You're a general?"

"I am."

"You guard the border and no one dares to offend?"

"I'm not going to let anyone dare to commit it."

"And what if I offend you?"

"Madame is a different matter!"

After a few back and forth questions, his wife immediately smiled, and then after the two parties made up their minds, the two finally decided on the marriage. Legend has it that although the general is a strict wife, but

After the two got married, they raised their eyebrows, sang together, loved and loved, and were extremely happy.

There are a lot of picture books on the market for this legendary story of the two, not only that, but there are also various versions of acquaintance who set up a stage to make a scene.

Tang Yining's recent worries are related to the general's wife. According to what she asked Xiaocui to inquire, the wife of General Zhengbei is about to celebrate her birthday recently, and it is a ten-year birthday.

Although General Zhengbei never cared about his birthday, and he didn't like such a sense of ceremony, he was very concerned about his wife. It was decided to celebrate this time and invited the noble ministers in the capital to the banquet.

And what worries Tang Yining is how to send this birthday gift? Send what is good.

If it's too expensive, I'm afraid it will make people doubt their intentions. After all, there are not a few people who want to curry favor with the general of Zhengbei, and there is another way, knowing that the general is a strict wife, it is possible to start with his wife.

But if it is too light here, it will inevitably make people suspicious, and there is a suspicion of despising the general's wife.

This is not light, nor heavy, this can stump Tang Yining.

Xie Tianrui has been very busy in the previous dynasty recently, going out early and returning late every day, and he didn't have time to sit down when he came back that day, so he quickly poured a glass of water, and then poured two sips of tea into his stomach. Tang Yining was thinking about the birthday gift, but before he could react, Xie Tianrui operated and scared Tang Yining.

"What are you doing in such a hurry? You're going to have an upset stomach! What's wrong with you? ”

"It's not okay if you're not in a hurry, recently the emperor seems to suddenly want to severely punish those corrupt officials, and he has arrested batch after batch of people in prison. The emperor instructed me to make sure that all the information they knew was revealed, and those old foxes were about to become fine. Let those small ones really not necessarily be able to be tried, for the sake of insurance, I still have to be there to keep an eye on it, so I have to go out for a while. ”

"How could it be so sudden?" Tang Yining asked with some surprise.

You know, there is no dynasty that is completely free of corrupt officials. After all, as the saying goes: when the water is clear, there are no fish. Nothing is absolute in the affairs of the court, if everyone is really a clean official, I am afraid that there will be some problems.

However, appropriate suppression is still necessary, but before the emperor's incident, he really didn't reveal the slightest rumor, why did he suddenly make such a big move?

"Then who knows, anyway, what the people above order, how the people below do things, there will be nothing wrong with following the emperor's steps." Xie Tianrui said nonchalantly.

Really, the leader above touched his mouth with his mouth, and the people below were about to break their legs, Tang Yining looked at Xie Tianrui's bloodshot eyes and felt a little distressed. She knew that Xie Tianrui had been going out early and returning late during this time, and he looked thinner and darker.

"Okay, let's not talk about me, there's nothing wrong left and right. When I first came in, I saw, "Why are you so sad and so stupid?" Is there something bothering you? ”

The words went around his mouth, but Tang Yining didn't say anything in the end, just shook his head gently.

"Look at what you're saying, my business has been on track lately, what else can I do

Child? I'm just worried about you. ”

"It's nothing, it's just thinking about the store."

Xie Tianrui was very busy, and Tang Yining didn't want to distract him with other things. When Xie Tianrui heard this, he didn't think much about it, thinking that Tang Yining was really thinking about the store, and the consequences were really as he said, he drank two sips of tea, sat for a while, and hurriedly went out, Tang Yining sighed behind his back.

The next day, Tang Yining continued to worry about this matter, Prince Gong and Princess Gong suddenly arrived, and Tang Yining quickly stood up to greet his mother.

"Mother, why did you come here today?"

"The concubine heard Xiaocui say, you have been busy preparing for the birthday gift of the general's wife recently, and the concubine came over to see what you want to give? To be honest, the mother concubine has been very worried about this recently. "The wife of the general Zhengbei was not from the capital in her early years, so Prince Gong didn't have much contact with her.

In the future, even if he marries a general, he rarely moves around often, and more often than not, the general's wife would rather accompany Lianfang on the frontier, so what kind of birthday gift is this, Prince Gong and Princess Gong are also very big, and they really don't know where to start.

Tang Yining shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mother, Yining is still trying to ask you." Yining doesn't know what to send yet, alas! ”

Prince Gong's Mansion is Prince Gong's Mansion, and now that Tang Yining and Xie Tianrui are married, they can be regarded as self-reliance, and they are also counted as the County King's Mansion, so their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law must each prepare a gift to give, which is not rude.

Princess Gong frowned when she heard this: "Since the two of us don't know what to give, let's just go out for a walk and take a look on the street outside. ”

There is no problem with this idea, but Tang Yining looked at the dress on his body and was a little embarrassed.

"Mother, if you want to go out, please wait for Yining, Yining has to go and change her clothes first."

When she was at home, Tang Yining was occasionally interested, so she liked to play with flowers and plants, especially when she was bored, she liked to play with flowers and plants, so when she was not ready to go out at home, the clothes on her body were relatively close-fitting, similar to the kind of cloth clothes that farmers used in the fields, so that she could play with flowers and plants at any time, but if she wore them out, it would be a loss of face.

Princess Gong looked at Tang Yining, and knew why Tang Yining wanted to change her clothes, so she nodded indifferently and said, "Okay, you go, the concubine is waiting for you here." ”

Tang Yining knew that Princess Gong was waiting, so naturally the movements of her hands were quite fast, and after she was dressed under Xiaocui's service and walked out of the inner room, Princess Gong raised her eyes and suddenly her eyes lit up.

Princess Gong has always liked red dresses, and today it happens to be a red dress, which is also embroidered with her favorite gold thread moire. Coincidentally, it was the clothes that Tang Yining had just changed in, and it was also a red dress with gold threads and clouds.

At first glance, it seems that the two of them are wearing the same clothes, and they both have excellent looks, and they actually look like a pair of sisters.

"I want the slave to say that the princess is young, and now it seems that the princess is completely the sister of the princess of the county, and she doesn't look like she is a mother-in-law." Xiao Cui playfully stuck out her tongue, but what she said was true.
