Chapter 150: There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed
"If you don't mind, let's sit in the yard for a while, if you are changing the dressing, the smell of medicine in the house will be heavy."
Mrs. Xu said, watching people bring chairs and let people serve tea.
Changying said: "What happened to the general's injury?" β
"It's okay to walk slowly, and you still have to take some time to drive a horse or something."
"Madame, are you still used to living?" Changying looked at the flowers and trees in the yard.
She has only been here these days, and this courtyard has already seen a lot of things, so you can imagine what kind of scenery it will be in the Xu family.
"I'm used to it, but I should go too." Mrs. Xu said, "My grandson has sent a letter, and I will rush back to Jinling in the next few days." β
"So fast?" Changying thought that she would at least have to wait for Xu Lan to heal before leaving.
I hear Xu Lan say every day that the younger brothers and sisters in the family are all older, and they don't need to be taken care of day and night, and now there is Xu Lan's eldest sister and two aunts in charge, no matter how you look at it, it is more important for Xu Lan. "General, doesn't it matter?"
"He's leaving, too." Mrs. Xu's eyebrows were deep, and she said softly: "He has been coming to Nankangwei for two or three years.
"This time his father is going to be transferred to Liaodong. We discussed that Liaodong and Huzhou were too far apart from each other from north to south. Although it is not realistic for us to move our family to the past, the Governor's Office of the Chinese Army is already preparing for Ruo Wei to be transferred to the Central Plains.
"Therefore, while he was still recuperating from his injuries, he had already greeted General Tan two days earlier."
The news was a bit sudden.
In terms of comradeship, Xu Lan has done her best to Changying, and she has no friends since she left Beijing, and there is only Tan Shuyin in the two lives.
"General Shen is also about to return to Beijing, right?" Mrs. Xu looked at her and said, "There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed. β
These words are so sentimental, but they are unconvincing. Parents and compatriots in the world may not be able to stay together forever, let alone they only have the friendship of comrades?
"I have no plans to return to Beijing at the moment." Changying responded.
Yang Su will only enter Beijing in February next year, and before he appears, she can obviously only stay in Nankangwei.
The maid came over: "The doctor is gone, the uncle asked who is coming, the slave said that General Shen is here, and the uncle came to invite General Shen into the house to talk." β
Mrs. Xu nodded: "Lead the way to the general." β
Xu Lan seemed to have just finished changing his medicine and tidying up his outfit, and was standing under the curtain and cuffing, with a warm expression on his face, just like him in the past.
Seeing Changying coming in, he smiled: "In the past few days, everyone outside has been saying that you have been in the dark for a while, and you have killed Qian Yun and them by surprise without moving a single soldier or arrow."
"You are not very common to see young generals in the entire former military camp, right? My boss is also honored. β
Changying was a little embarrassed: "I'm really ashamed." β
Catching Liu Wei is different from the errands she undertook before, and this time there is no foreknowledge that she can use.
But she did her homework enough, the day before Huang Ji said that Liu Wei grabbed the dock with her, she paid attention, and asked Huang Ji Zhou Liang to check the background of the Yingfeng, if she didn't know that the Yingfeng could suppress Liu Wei, she didn't dare to rashly ask Huo Rong to make an order.
But it's still not worth mentioning, because Huo Rong, who has evidence or something, has already found out where it is, and she is just using it for a while.
"At least it's the icing on the cake. You're sure of your promotion this time. β
Changying paused: "Got news?" β
"I went to Tan's Mansion yesterday to listen to what General Tan said. Tomorrow, he should be looking for you. β
Changying's heart was suddenly relaxed. Thinking that he went to Tan Mansion to transfer out, he couldn't help but look at him: "Which guard are you going to transfer?" β
Xu Lan's expression was slightly constricted: "Undecided." But it's certain that you will go back to Jinling first. β
He looked at her, and after a while, he said again: "You ......"
Calling out a word, he looked down and smiled.
"What's wrong?" Changying asked.
He said: "I originally wanted to say that I don't know if there will be a chance to meet again in the future, but thinking about your hard work, it is a matter of time before you return home. β
Changying was silent.
After a while, he asked him, "Why do you suddenly want to be transferred to Liaodong?" Is there something going on in your family? β
It is not common for such a large geographical span to be deployed.
Xu Lan, whose expression had already recovered, froze again when he heard this.
Changying can be regarded as having lived two lives, and when he saw him like this, he knew that he had guessed correctly. "If you don't mind, you can talk about it. Anyway, I treat you as a friend. β
Xu Lan was a little moved. He clasped his hands twice repeatedly, but finally only smiled: "What's the matter?" It's just that I'm leaving, and I'm always a little reluctant in my heart. β
Changying didn't force it anymore.
She knew that with Xu Lan's care for her in the past, she should dig into the bottom and see what she could help, but at the moment, the lawsuit between her and the Ling family was still unresolved, and she was still just a small general after all.
In this case, if the mother and son of the Xu family find it tricky, it is basically impossible for her to help, and she will be a little overwhelmed if she blindly asks.
But he still told him: "Jinling is not far away." If you think you can use me, feel free to let someone tell me. β
Xu Lan didn't refuse again this time, looked at her hands and nodded.
Mrs. Xu packed two hams and was about to go to the kitchen to have a look, when Xu Lan was discharged from the hospital with Changying.
"Why do you just leave? Don't sit down longer? β
"No, General Xu should recuperate more, I won't disturb him, I will leave first." Changying looked at her and said, "When will Madam and General Xu leave, I will send someone to tell me when I go back, and I will ask the servants at home to cook a few dishes that suit your tastes and give you two to eat." β
When Mrs. Xu heard this, she smiled and said, "Just call your aunt, you don't have to be too angry." β
Someone else brought the ham: "This is the hand-pickled meat of our cook, and like you, I like to eat what I make at home." β
Changying's heart was soft: "Thank you, aunt." β
Mrs. Xu smiled and nodded, and then saw her go.
Xu Lan stood under the door, looking at the empty street, and never turned around for a long time.
Mrs. Xu said, "It's a good boy." It's a pity ......"
Xu Lan turned his head, his face still stubborn: "The marriage letter between Huo Rong and her is just an expedient measure." β
Mrs. Xu looked at him, raised her lips and said, "I think it's a step-by-step approach." β
Xu Lan was stunned.
Mrs. Xu stroked a cluster of verdant pine needles in front of her: "Such a girl, even I feel distressed, how can General Huo, who has silently hidden his marriage book for four years, be willing to be 'expedient'?"
"What's more, she also has a cousin of Wuninghou who has suddenly woken up, it can be said that she is a stupid child ,ββwith a wolf on the left and a tiger on the right, and she can't compete with you as far as the city government is concerned."
