The sky was just white, and in this unexpectedly cold morning, the windows of the study were all propped up, and the cold air blew in, with a bit of refreshing fresh smell.

The "Map of Kyushu" treasured in the camphor wood box was taken out and spread on the pineapple wood bookcase, and Xu Lingyi, who was wearing a half-new and not old crow-blue Hangzhou silk plain jacket robe, stood in front of the bookcase with his hands behind his back, his head drooping slightly, his eyes staring at the map without blinking, and his expression was extremely grim.

Eleven Niang looked at it, and her steps froze.

Xu Lingyi, who heard the movement, had already raised his head: "You're here"

was suddenly called into the palace, Eleven Niang would definitely be very worried, knowing that he was back, she would naturally come to see him as soon as possible.

Why should you read "Kyushu Map"?

Eleven Niang has a bad premonition......

"What's going on?" She asked, and walked to Xu Lingyi's side.

Mountains and rivers, one by one.

Xu Lingyi hesitated for a moment and pointed to the location of Xuantong Mansion on the map: "The Tartars have gathered the men and horses of thirteen tribes, bypassed Jiayu Pass, and have arrived outside the city of Xuantong Mansion. ”

Eleven Niang's heart "chuckled", her face changed greatly, and she lost her voice: "How can this be?" ”

Xuantong Mansion is the barrier of Yanjing, and once the barrier is removed, Yanjing is in danger

"It was very cold last winter, and this year's net day came late, and there was no grass bark, so I had to enter the customs to rob it" Xu Lingyi's voice was very calm, "Looking at this, I'm afraid I will use the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies"

"Then will something happen to Brother Jin?" Eleven Niang is more concerned about this.

"He's going to be fine," Xu Lingyi looked at her, "Shiyang is very remote, far away from Xuantong, even if those Tartars go wrong, they won't go there." Now that the situation is tense, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies must pay attention to God in the use of troops, and will not let go of the troops of the Governor's Mansion of the Rear Army, which is closest to Xuantong, and will transfer the troops of the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army at the expense of the near and far. You can rest assured, he is safer than us" said at the end, revealing a gentle smile with a hint of comfort.

Sichuan is under the jurisdiction of the Right Military Governor's Office, and Shanxi is under the jurisdiction of the Later Military Governor's Office.

Eleven Niang breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "What is the emperor looking for the Hou Ye to enter the palace?" ”

"The imperial court has not used troops in the northwest for more than ten years, and the emperor has no bottom in his heart, so he asked me to interrogate." When Xu Lingyi said this, his tone was light, but the corners of his eyes and eyebrows revealed a strong self-confidence, which made his people suddenly stand up a lot, with a kind of solemnity and solemnity of Yu Chuanyu.

This is his image in the barracks

Eleven Niang suddenly felt as if she had inadvertently seen another side hidden by Xu Lingyi.

"The emperor asked you about the northwest, didn't you say anything else?" She hesitated.

Xu Lingyi was silent for a long time before he whispered: "The emperor also asked me if I had any intention of going to Xibeiping 1uan......" His tone paused slightly, "I, euphemistically refused" The voice was very gentle, like a silted river.

If it weren't for political considerations, he would have wanted to conquer the northwest again, right?

Shi Niang thought of the strong confidence he had just revealed in an instant, and suddenly felt a little panicked in her heart, and her hand gently covered the hand he put on the bookcase and clenched into a fist: "Brother Jin is in Sichuan, you are going to the northwest again, and there is no dongdong here...... It's better to stay at home" Looking at him, the eyes were as gentle as netg to the tip of his heart, making him a little disappointed.

She said these words to comfort him

How nice would it be if it weren't for this situation......

Xu Lingyi shook his head gently.

Young couples are old companions, and they think too much.

He smiled and patted Eleven Niang's hand: "It's so early, you haven't had breakfast yet, right?" Then he turned his head and shouted the lights, "Close the windows and let the mother-in-law set breakfast" to change the subject.

There was a little more coldness between the two.

Eleven Niang was stunned.

Xu Lingyi had already walked to the big kang near the window, lifted the warm teapot on the kang table and poured a cup of tea: "Come, sit down and drink hot tea." ”

The smile is still gentle, but the original temperature is missing.

Eleven Niang silently walked over and sat down, took the tea cup, and talked about family trivia, wanting to break the coldness between each other: "On the way back yesterday, I discussed with Yingniang for a long time, and wanted to plant some water chestnuts on the side of Liufangwu, but I was afraid that the water chestnut seedlings would grow too dense and I couldn't row the boat......"

This little thing, how can it be difficult to live in Eleven Niang.

Looking at the trace of uneasiness flashing in her eyes, Xu Lingyi smiled.

I'm too cautious.

Eleven Niang is calm, and she is from everyone's background, and she is used to being reserved, so she wants her to be tender and sweet...... It's really like I have to look forward to Shu

Thinking of this, he put his arm around Shi Niang's shoulders and kissed her cheek affectionately: "In case the lingyang grows too dense, let the steward invite the mother-in-law on the grange to cut it." I remember that the water chestnut only existed in May and June, and in May and June, when the weather was hot, who would go boating. ...... without delay"

Feeling his warm breath and listening to his mellow voice, Eleven Niang couldn't help but let out a long breath, as if the big stone pressing on her heart had suddenly been moved.

Xu Lingyi heard her breathe gently in her arms, and the smile on her face became even bigger.

Eleven Niang, as if she had become very attached to herself.

When did it start...... The warm, charming, annoying, or strange scenes in life swirled in his mind, but he could never find the source......

When the lantern came in, he saw the two of them sitting together affectionately, he lowered his eyelids and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, where is the breakfast?"

Eleven Niang struggled to sit up, Xu Lingyi used her hand hard, she had to lean on his shoulder again, her face was a little red, but she didn't continue to struggle.

Xu Lingyi smiled slightly and instructed the lantern: "Just put it here"

The lights went away.

Xu Lingyi kissed her forehead, and then let her go.

Eleven Niang sat up.

The mother-in-law got the order, bowed her head and came in, tiptoed to move the kang table away, and put the kang table with breakfast.

The couple sat opposite each other and had breakfast.

From time to time, there was a crisp sound of porcelain clattering, a slight sound of drinking soup, and the sound of chewing.

When she was a child, her mother was always very busy, and occasionally she had a meal together, and she would be chattering about the things around her, as if in this way, she could make up for those days when she was not with her mother, but there was still a dong in her heart, no matter how loud the voice was, there was no way to fill it, but it seemed even more lost. Later, in Yuhang, I paid attention to "eating without sleeping", and I only felt depressed at that time...... Since when has she become accustomed to eating silently like this, but her heart feels calm and steady.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but look up at Xu Lingyi opposite.

He was picking up vegetables, his expression was calm, and his movements were calm and powerful...... Just like the night he was called into the palace by the first emperor...... He had gently put his arms around her, his arms were steady and strong, and his expression calmly arranged for her to take a few children away...... She remembered the breath of being held by him......

She was in a trance.

When I saw him again, why didn't I ask him why he arranged for her to take the child away...... She is the Lady of Yongping Hou...... If the Xu Mansion is copied, she will be the first in the inner courtyard...... Unlike the second lady, the second master has been dead for more than 20 years, widowed, has not walked around for a long time, and lives in a remote courtyard...... If you go, it will be easier for the second lady to ...... Moreover, the second lady has experienced the rise and fall of the Xu family, and her loyalty, willpower, and adaptability are more reassuring than her...... Xu Lingyi is a person who acts safely, not to mention the moment when he is facing the survival of his family......

It seems that it was only since then that she really realized the burden that Xu Lingyi had been carrying alone, and since then, when he was unhappy, her heart would pinch up, and then she wanted to say something and do something, so that he could be relieved and happy......

"What's wrong?" Xu Lingyi saw the people on the other side eating porridge with rice grains, and said with a smile, "Breakfast is not to taste? ”

He eats simply, she eats complicated...... It is often a large kang table dish, and hers accounts for two-thirds. I didn't expect her to come, I can see that the kitchen has rearranged breakfast, and the time is still too tight, mostly noodle soup, steamed buns, only fried a few green vegetables, and made a bowl of millet porridge.

"No," Eleven Niang smiled, "It's good"

Xu Lingyi nodded.

A small servant ran in: "Master Hou, Master Ma from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies asks to see you"

The five major people controlled the Chinese army of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

Xu Lingyi did not show surprise, but pondered for a while before instructing the little servant: "Please invite him to sit in the flower hall"

Eleven Niang hurriedly got up to change Xu Lingyi's clothes.

"You wait for me for a while, and let's go and greet Mrs. Tai together." Xu Lingyi said, turned around and walked out the door.

said that it was a while, and after waiting for almost an hour, Xu Lingyi turned back.

"Let's go," he said lightly, "so as not to make my mother wait"

The current Mrs. Tai is relieved to see Xu Lingyi every morning and evening.

Eleven Niang followed him out of the door.

Halfway through, she hesitated: "Master Ma is looking for you, but what's the urgency?" ”

Xu Lingyi didn't make a sound, until he entered Mrs. Tai's courtyard, and then said in a low voice: "The emperor recruited people from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies into the palace, and he came to ask me, if the emperor wants him to recommend the general who leads the troops, who should he recommend?" ”

Eleven Niang was surprised.

Xu Lingyi has been out of the barracks for more than ten years, and a governor in charge of the Chinese army in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies still came to ask Xu Lingyi who he recommended to be a general...... You must know that if the war is lost, the recommender is also responsible, and will even be sitting...... Or, living together, without distance, some things are overlooked?

She really wanted to ask him, what happened to Ping 1uan in the northwest? Why is it that after many years, there are still people who respect and trust him so much

Thinking of his understated tone just now, Shi Niang swallowed the words that came to her mouth again.

Mrs. Tai took Xu Lingyi's hand and asked him with concern where he had dinner yesterday, if he had drunk, what did Zhou Shizheng tell him to do...... Xu Lingyi responded with a smile and read a passage of "Heart Sutra" to Mrs. Tai, and Mrs. Tai let him go with a smile.

The second lady sent them to the door.

"Fourth Uncle" she said pointedly, "If you agree, I want to go to Xishan Courtyard with my mother to live for some days." In this way, when the fourth uncle has guests, he doesn't have to bring them to greet his mother, and his mother doesn't have to cheer up to deal with these people. Do you think so? ”
