"What? Not welcome? The emperor, who is nearly forty years old, asked very majestically.

"No...... No. Xiao Heng was nervous and was about to stutter, how dare he not welcome the emperor, he was looking forward to the emperor coming day and night.

It's just that there is a war going on on the coastal side now, and although the mountain counties are a hundred miles away from the coast, once the border pass is broken, the enemy will attack like a bamboo, and it is too dangerous for the emperor to come at this time.

"Okay, Xiao Aiqing, Lian knows what you're worried about, I didn't come here on a whim, the military situation along the coast is urgent, it's sudden, I feel that something is wrong, so Weifu will temporarily stay in your house to investigate this matter."

The emperor walked towards the Xiao Mansion with his hands, Xiao Heng followed closely behind him, and every time he walked around, Xiao Heng saw that there were subordinates, so he waved his hand to let them avoid it.

"General Yang has been sticking to the coastal defense line for the past few years and has won countless battles, why did General Yang break through my second line of defense in less than a month? Is it so difficult that I really have to rely on Liu Xiang to protect the country and the people? ”

"Your Majesty."

When Xiao Heng heard this, he understood the emperor's frustration, Liu Xiang was cunning, and when he had a dispute with the emperor on the strength of the army, he did not give up, insisted on his own plan to transfer troops, and said that the emperor had never led troops to fight, but what he said was just on paper, and the emperor was naturally not convinced, and the two actually made a bet.

Liu Xiang asked the emperor to transfer troops to garrison the coastal defense line for two months, and it was only 20 days before there was an urgent military situation on the coastal side, and the emperor was frustrated in front of the ministers of the court and the central government, and his mood can be imagined.

Speaking of which, it's all to blame for the traitorous minister Liu Xiang, and the military situation allowed him to be so childish.

Xiao Heng was wondering if he would recommend Lian Hao to the emperor and help the emperor save the situation?

"Xiao Aiqing, I'm tired, you go and arrange, I want to wait for the results of the investigation in front of you." No matter how much the emperor thought about it, he felt that he had lost too hastily, and he naturally suspected that someone had leaked military information, so he wanted to find out.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiao Heng hurriedly retreated.

Steward Lu's back was soaked, he had been in Xiao Mansion for decades, and officials of all sizes had received him, but tonight it was the emperor who came, and if Steward Lu hadn't been on the scene, he would have really fainted.

"Master, I'll let my subordinates clean up the Zhuqing Courtyard now, and the emperor will live there quietly." Steward Lu wiped the sweat on his forehead.

"You still know the master's heart." Xiao Heng was thinking about this arrangement, and sure enough, it was an old servant who had followed him for decades, and he knew everything clearly about Steward Lu, and everything was appropriate.

"Then you don't have to worry about the manpower waiting for the emperor?"

"The old slave will carefully select trustworthy people to serve the emperor." How could Steward Lu not know the depths, the emperor's private visit was very important, and he definitely didn't dare to make a mistake.

"Then you can arrange it." Xiao Heng was very satisfied with Steward Lu's arrangement, and he was also very relieved.

Aunt Lian and Boss Lian were lying on the bed, Aunt Lian thought of what Jin'er said when Yueniang was in the day, she was completely sleepy, kicked Boss Lian who was lying on the side, and said: "Boss, I heard Yueniang say today, after I am busy with farming, I am going to add a carriage to the family and send Jin'er to study in the school in the town." ”

"It should." Even the boss really has nothing to say about Yueniang's plans: "The daughter-in-law married by Haozi is capable and virtuous, and regards Jin'er Xiu'er as her own, and the second family is so blessed." ”

Lian Auntie opened her lips lightly: "Yueniang's personality is not picky, I just pity our Qin'er, ten years old, I don't know half the words, you look at Jin'er's child, you can read a book, even Xiu'er, can also recognize words." ”

"This Jin'er Xiu'er is literate, and it is all taught by Yueniang, Haozi has been in school for a few years, I know, just him, I can't teach it." Even the boss laughed.

"I'm not talking about this, I mean......" Aunt Lian wanted to talk about it, but she didn't know how to make Boss Lian feel sorry for her grandson.

"What do you want to say?" Lian Boss glanced at Lian Auntie, "I don't know what you're thinking, don't you just want me to open my mouth and send Qin Er to study too?" Why are you so dissatisfied? ”

Lian Lao Han sat up and counted carefully: "We have been here for a month, the second family is not good to us, the house is for us to live, there are a lot of rice noodles, vegetables and meat, this month, the family has saved five taels of silver, you have lived such a good life before?" Don't be greedy enough to swallow the elephant, even the family has a Jin'er to study, and in the future to gain fame, that is also my family glory ancestor, just count you as a woman with a small heart. ”

"I ...... That was not what I meant. "Aunt Lian was said by Lian Laohan's face was red and red, and she was extremely shameless.

Five days later, the work in the field was over, Leng Yue asked Zhou Yuanwai to order a spacious carriage to come back, and the people in the village heard that the Lian family had bought a carriage and came back, and they all crowded to see the excitement, and their faces were envious of the days of the Lian family.

"Yueniang, this carriage has been bought, and it will take us to the town in the future."

"Okay, you can go to the county seat." Leng Yue said with a smile.

With this carriage, Jin'er can go to the best school in town to study, and it is convenient to go back and forth.

Tie Niu's daughter-in-law pulled Leng Yue's sleeve and discussed: "My family also wants to send Xuanzi to study, Yueniang, why don't you work hard and send it together?" ”

"Yes, my family has a company, and I can't wait for it." Leng Yue patted Tie Niu's daughter-in-law and agreed.

Sister-in-law Xiang pushed the daughter-in-law of Tie Niu: "Your family is okay, but you are willing to spend a dozen taels of silver for Xuanzi to study?" My family is reluctant, saying that if you can't get fame, you have a fart, and if you recognize those words, it's better to earn more money and eat some good ones. ”

"You have a lot of children, Xiangzi's hard-earned silver is naturally not even, if it is given to your eldest son to study, then the second and third children in the family should also read? How much does it cost, how can I raise it, unlike my family, just Xuanzi and Su'er, the two children, have spare money in their hands, so they let Xuanzi go out to learn knowledge, even if they can't take the test in the future, it's good to know Braille. Tie Niu's daughter-in-law compared her heart to her heart.

"That's right." Sister-in-law Xiang smiled: "It's all because I gave birth to more sons, which is also a difficult thing." ”

Someone in the crowd coaxed, laughing at Xiang's sister-in-law: "It's a good thing that my son has more children, we all envy you, a child and a boy, others can't think of such a blessing, you, if you have Yueniang so capable, you can afford to give birth to ten or eight sons, Xiang's sister-in-law, come on." ”

"I tore your mouth." Sister-in-law Xiang chased after the man and laughed.

Even the old man grinned when he saw the excitement at home, and Aunt Qiu also coaxed: "Yes, sister-in-law Xiang, beat her, beat her, see if she dares to laugh at you again." ”

After fighting for a long time, the women all went home to cook, and Haozi finished his farm work, so he took the men in the village into the mountains to hunt, and estimated that he was about to come back to catch up with the meal.

Leng Yue said to Lian Laohan: "Dad, I'll go to my uncle's house." ”

"There you go." Even the old man knew Yueniang's thoughts, nodded and said: "Uncle is stubborn, you have to do his ideological work well." ”

"I know, Dad, don't worry, I can convince Uncle." Leng Yue patted his chest and smiled at the old man: "Wrap it on me." ”

Even the old man is not at ease with Yueniang, this family has a Yueniang, this daily life is delicious, Yueniang is capable and takes care of the family, and more importantly, takes care of everyone in the family, and the careful ones don't know how to be grateful to the daughter-in-law who fell from the sky.

Leng Yue came to Lian Lao, and when he saw Lian Laoda sitting at the gate of the courtyard, he smoked a hookah, and shouted: "Uncle." ”

Even the boss looked up and saw that it was Yueniang who was coming, with a kind smile on his face, knocked the cigarette ash on the sole of his shoe with a cigarette gun, invited Leng Yue into the door, and said: "Your aunt is empty today, I saw that there are Qingming flowers on Tianba, I picked some and made Qingming fruit, and when it is steamed, you take some of it, and I am too lazy to send it." ”

"What about Qin'er? Not at home? Leng Yue saw that he didn't see Qin Er, so he asked Lian Laohan.

"That kid is playing wild here now, this will definitely play hide and seek with the children in the village in the back mountain, leave him alone, he will naturally go home when the meal is served." Lian Boss laughed.

"Yueniang, come!" Aunt Lian came over with the Qingming fruit that had just come out of the pot, "You taste it, see if the Qingming fruit made by the aunt is delicious?" ”

Leng Yue was not polite, took a green Qingming fruit with chopsticks, took a bite, and inside was a tofu oil residue trap, chopped oil residue, with finely chopped tender tofu, fragrant and delicious.

"It's much better than the Qingming fruit made by my aunt." Leng Yue asked while eating: "At this season, isn't Qingming Flower already old?" Why is there no bitterness at all? ”

"I'm the topmost leaf I cut, it's not bitter." Aunt Lian was very happy to see that Leng Yue liked to eat the Qingming fruit she made, and explained.

"How much work does that take?"

"I'm greedy, I haven't eaten it for many years, and I'm afraid of working hard." Aunt Lian laughed as she spoke, "I'll bring more for your father to eat, your father used to love to eat my Qingming fruit." ”

"Okay." Leng Yue kept eating, and said, "Uncle, aunt, tomorrow you let Qin Er get up early and go to study with Jin'er." ”

"Didn't you say that? Qin Er doesn't go, we have the money and then send Qin Er to study, don't spend that money, your family is rich and it's your family, don't go to the bank. Even the boss waved his hand and refused.

"Yes, Yueniang, look at Qin Er's playful appearance, how does she look like a scholar, and then look at Jin'er, sitting in the house reading all day long, that is the person who can get fame, don't spend that money."

Aunt Lian mentioned to the two of them yesterday that she wanted to send Qin'er to study, both ashamed and grateful, but she also figured it out, even the boss was right, just Qin'er's kid, which is the material for reading, it is a waste of silver to go.

"After you told me yesterday, I went to the master of the school to return the money, but the master said that he would not return, so I could only let Qin Er go, otherwise wouldn't it be cheaper for nothing?" Leng Yue cut first and then played.

"How can there be such a thing, I'll go to them for a theory." Even the boss was anxious when he heard that the tuition fee would not be refunded.

"Uncle." Leng Yue comforted Boss Lian and said with a smile: "The school is a solemn place, how can you make a noise about theory?" The impact is not good. ”

"But ......" Even the boss knew that he went to find the master's theory, which was unseemly, and the school chosen by Yueniang was run by the court, and he rushed to ask for a refund of the tuition, which was a crime of contempt for the court, which was ......

"That's it, let Qin Er get up early tomorrow morning." Leng Yue knew that this method was feasible, the uncle was stereotyped, and felt that the family was divided, and the brothers had to settle accounts clearly, so naturally they refused to let her send Qin'er to study with money.

On the evening of the second day, Leng Yue saw the four children that Lian Hao picked up in the carriage, all with blue noses and swollen faces, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"There was a fight in the academy." Lian Hao looked at Jin'er who had also suffered.

"Fight with whom?" It's only the first day of school, so why did you get into a fight?

"It's those children in the town who look down on us and scold us for being wild children in the countryside, Brother Qin is angry and argues with them for a few words, and they beat us, we don't dare to cause trouble, for fear that the master will fire us, and that's it." Jin'er touched her face and asked for truth.

"Then you can call back." Leng Yue was really angry with these stupid children, how could anyone not fight back and be beaten?
