Chapter 705: Direction (I)
Chapter 705: Direction (I)
As soon as Brother Jin left, Eleven Niang suddenly felt lost, and suddenly became lazy. Xu Sichen invited a goldsmith to her home to make jewelry, and she just made fun of two bracelets with red gold ruyi patterns. Yingniang is a bride, and the jewelry for the wedding is not only new, but also a new Su style, but Eleven Niang still took her body silver and gave her two red gold rings and two pairs of red gold earrings. When it was the day of the happy meal, I took Jiang and Yingniang with me.
Jiang and everyone are familiar with each other, and they are smiling and entertaining, but Yingniang is the first time, she held Eleven Niang's hand, followed closely behind her, and was nervous at first, and calmed down after seeing a few people. When Eleven Niang was invited into the east wing of the main courtyard by the original Grandma Lin and the current Mrs. Houlin of Weibei, she was on the side to help serve tea and water.
Grandma Huang San looked out the window at Jiang Shizi, who was talking to Mrs. Zhongqin Bo Shizi and the eldest young grandmother of the Hou Tang family in Zhongshan, and pointed to Eleven Niang with a smile: "Like we were at that time?" ”
The people in the room followed her hand and looked over.
Mrs. Zhongqin Boshizi wore a water-green plain makeup gown, wearing a pearl head, which was indescribably elegant and pure.
"I didn't see you." Mrs. Tang Si smiled, "I think it's a bit like Mrs. Xu Si back then. ”
Eleven Niang smiled slightly.
Grandma Huang San said with emotion: "Time has passed, and those of us who stood under the eaves and talked are now sitting in the house!" ”
Ganfu *** laughed: "I haven't stood on the roof, don't talk about your business as our business." ”
The room was filled with laughter.
When she got home, Xu Lingyi was leaning on the head of the bed reading the letter.
"Brother's." He raised the letter paper in his hand, and Eleven Niang had no choice but to sit on the edge of the bed, "What did you say?" He hurriedly snatched the letter.
Xu Lingyi laughed, Eleven Niang didn't care about what to say to him, and read the letter at a glance and ten lines.
The letter was sent from Xuantong, and although it was very short, the food, clothing, housing and transportation along the way were very clear.
Knowing that Brother Jin'er had a safe journey, Eleven Niang's heart was slightly settled, but she still looked at it again and again, and then put it down.
"Don't worry." Xu Lingyi got up and hugged Eleven Niang, "Brother Jin is very good." In ten days, we will arrive at Jiayuguan! ”
Eleven Niang nodded.
After more than ten days, Brother Jin wrote again. He wrote down how he went to visit the Jiayuguan general when he arrived at Jiayuguan, what Jiayuguan said, where he lived, how big the place he lived, and which guard he was assigned to.
Because she landed, Eleven Niang wrote a letter to Brother Jin, and sent someone to report her safety to Binju.
A few days later, Brother Jin not only wrote back, but also asked people to bring back a set of Hu people's clothes and some raisins, saying that the clothes were a birthday gift for Eleven Niang. Raisins are for everyone to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.
Eleven Niang was very happy, and privately wore a Hu costume to Xu Lingyi and Yingniang, and packed the raisins in a beautiful paper box, and sent some everywhere. Mrs. Gan returned her shoes and socks, and Cao E made a set of clothes: "...... Someone went to Jiayuguan and brought it with them. Eleven Niang wrote a letter to Brother Jin with great interest, before the Dragon Boat Festival, she wrote to Brother Jin to tell him how the family was going to celebrate the festival, and after the Dragon Boat Festival, she told him how the family was going to celebrate the festival. One every five days, no matter whether Brother Jin returns or not, he sends someone to Jiayuguan without moving.
I would like to reply to my brother in ten days. At first, it was just a simple report of safety, and as time went by, he also began to tell Shi Niang about some training or health services.
By mid-June, Yingniang was diagnosed with a happy pulse.
The whole family was overjoyed, and at this time, Luo Zhenxing governed the county in a good way and was promoted to the governor of Chuyang Prefecture.
“…… Although the flood disaster is very poor, it is better to know the state from the five products. Xu Lingyi said with a smile, "As long as nothing goes wrong, in a few years, I will be transferred to a richer state, and it will be a matter of time before I am promoted to the political secretary and the political envoy." ”
Eleven Niang is naturally happy for Luo Zhenxing.
The people in the house look at Yingniang differently. Yingniang is a little honored and disgraced. Every day or in the morning, after saying hello to Eleven Niang, I go to the conservatory in the back garden and Ji Ting's daughter-in-law to serve the flowers and plants, wait for Eleven Niang to take a nap and sleep, come over to talk to Eleven Niang, do needlework, or accompany her to go around, stay at Eleven Niang for dinner at night, go to greet Mrs. Tai together, send Eleven Niang back to the house and then go back to her residence.
Eleven Niang originally wanted to avoid Yingniang's morning and dusk, but it can be seen that Xu Sijie accompanied Yingniang over every morning and went back with Yingniang at night, so she swallowed this.
Brother Jin knew that he was about to be an uncle again, so he sent a piece of good Hetian jade carved with everything as he wished, and guessed in the letter whether it was a niece or a nephew, what is the name of the niece, if it is a nephew, what is the name.
Eleven Niang saw that he was a little cheerful between the lines, knowing that he had passed the initial adaptation period, and her heart was also very happy. He Yingniang laughed at him for a while and sent him winter clothes.
But this joyful atmosphere did not last long, and in October, several skirmishes broke out on the Jiayuguan side. Brother Jin did not mention a word in the letter, but Brother Jin is in Jiayuguan, and everyone pays special attention to the nature of Jiayuguan. As soon as the news was obtained, Eleven Niang would know.
She was anxious: "It is said that there are times when there are victories and defeats, and there are still many times of defeat and few times of victory!" ”
"It's okay, it's okay." Xu Lingyi comforted her, "Whether it is victory or defeat, the guard where Brother Jin'er is located is relatively backward and remote, it is not a large-scale attack, and it will not hit him." And I had already sent someone to the military department to ask, and there was nothing wrong with him in that area. He also promised, "If anything happens to him, someone will tell me about it." ”
Eleven Niang was still uneasy in her heart.
Brother Jin'er's letter has arrived.
The letter to Eleven Niang is still a report of safety. The letter to Xu Lingyi, however, talked about the war. Not only that, but he also talked about the use of troops in the Jiayuguan General Army. There was no comment on the victories, but the failures were listed in the letter.
Shi Niang frowned: "When did Brother Jin become so extreme?" Fortunately, you are idle at home, if you are in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and listen to such gossip, I am afraid that the position of this Jiayuguan will not be stable. ”
"The child is strong-blooded, and it is normal to have such a reaction." Xu Lingyi said with a smile, "People only blindly sing praises of virtue, then I have to worry." Then he laughed, "However, his words are not entirely unreasonable. When the Jiayuguan general army marched west, he was in charge of grain and grass, because of his stable temperament, so he was appointed as the chief soldier of Jiayuguan. He said, with a hint of pride in his expression. didn't go back to the study, so I replied to Brother Jin at the place where Eleven Niang was studying.
Eleven Niang was grinding ink on the side.
Xu Lingyi told Brother Jin about his views on the war, and suggested that Brother Jin should understand the major wars in Jiayuguan in the past hundred years, and then talk about why he won? Why lose?
Although Brother Jin is still the same as before, he writes a letter to Eleven Niang every ten days. But it took almost two months to reply to Xu Lingyi. In the letter, he gave a detailed example of the 100-year war in Jiayuguan, and then expressed his views. The letter was more than forty pages long and contained several letters.
Xu Lingyi expressed his opinion on his letter.
Father and son, you come and go, talking about the way of using soldiers. Often, I just received a letter from my brother the day before, and I received another one the next day.
The people in the house didn't know what Xu Lingyi and Brother Jin were talking about, but they only knew that the correspondence was so frequent that it was almost every two or three days. Inevitably, some people were speechless: "How much silver will it cost to rush these six hundred miles!" ”
"It's not for your money!" Someone laughed and said, "Master Hou is not distressed, I want you to feel distressed." It's true that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry. ”
The crowd burst into laughter.
Steward Zhao, who was back to the office, walked past those people without squinting, and asked to see Xu Lingyi with a cold expression.
Eleven Niang immediately thought of Brother Jin......
She hurriedly went to the study in the outer courtyard and took a look at Steward Zhao.
Steward Zhao respectfully saluted her and hurried out of the academy.
"Don't worry!" Without waiting for Eleven Niang to speak, Xu Lingyi already smiled and said, "It's not Brother Jin'er's business." As he spoke, he took a few steps forward and whispered in her ear: "It's Changshun's business." ”
"Changshun?" Eleven Niang's face turned pale, "What happened to Changshun?" ”
When Li Ji mentioned that the Fujian Command Division was also knowledgeable, some people mentioned his father Li Zhong, thinking that Li Zhong was "guilty too much" back then. The emperor was furious. If it weren't for Chen Ge Lao coming forward, Li Ji's fellow acquaintance would probably be lost.
Xu Lingyi and Shi Niang went to the warm pavilion behind the study to speak: "The Wang family sent someone to take Changshun to Liaodong. ”
Eleven Niang was stunned: "Is there anyone else in their family?" Will it be a fake to take Changshun away? ”
"It's not fake!" Xu Lingyi said, "Only me and the people of the Wang family know about this matter, and I know the people who came to pick up Changshun, and I also took the token of the year." Then he sighed, "Although I haven't contacted anyone from the Wang family in the past few years, I have been paying attention to the affairs of the Wang family. They were exiled to Liaodong. There is a sea in Liaodong. Wang Jiubao's cousin is also a character, and in the past two years, he got in touch with Wei's people, diving pearls in Liaodong, and helping the people in the Kawei Institute to sell smuggled goods, not only making a lot of money, but also opening up the situation. It's just that they suddenly went from Fujian to Liaodong, all the way hard, and after arriving in Liaodong, they were very uncomfortable, several children died, Changshun is now the only living child of the Wang family, the Wang family is stable, and it is common for Changshun to go back to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors. ”
"Of course it's good to be able to go back." Eleven Niang muttered, "Following Binju, Changshun is best like Chang'an." I'm just worried about whether the Wang family has really gained a foothold in Liaodong? Will the affairs of the Wang family be mentioned again in a few years? At least keep him safe. ”
"I'm not completely sure about this kind of thing." Xu Lingyi said, "But I think the Wang family is going to take Changshun back now, and they must be somewhat sure that they can keep Changshun's safety." Otherwise, if Changshun has three long and two short, wouldn't the Wang family have endless heirs? ”
Heirs are a big deal!
Eleven Niang bowed slightly. Despite this, Xu Lingyi still did some verification, and then took the Wang family to Jiayuguan under the pretext of sending something to Brother Jin'er......
At the time of the winter solstice, news came from Jiayuguan that Changshun was unaccustomed to the water and soil, and suddenly died of a violent illness.
Although Hamaju already knew the ins and outs of the matter, she was still very sad.
"I wonder if he can remember me?"
"Yes!" Eleven Niang shook her hand, "You are so good to him, he will remember." ”
"I'm not trying to remember him." Binju smiled with tears, "I'm afraid he's not doing well." Poverty is good for poverty, and wealth is risky for wealth. ”
There is some truth to that.
Eleven Niang couldn't help nodding.
