Chapter 744: Returning Home (I)
Chapter 744: Returning Home (I)
Seeing her mother crying, the corners of Xu Sijin's eyes were also a little moist.
But he is no longer a child, and it is no longer appropriate to use crying to express emotions.
He feigned displeasure and jumped to his feet exaggeratedly: "Who am I if I am not?" I thought about you day and night when I was in the barracks, and when I got home, you didn't even recognize me! "I want to amuse my mother with this.
Looking at her son's detached expression, Eleven Niang had a little sense of realism.
"Brother Jin!" She was infinitely happy in her heart, and she couldn't help but burst into laughter. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" hugged his son vigorously, "I heard that you will only arrive in Beijing on the 29th, and it will not be counted if you can take the time to come back on the 30th, but I didn't expect you to arrive home several days early." He added, "This is also because you pretend to be too similar, and my mother didn't think about it for a while." ”
Mother laughed, and Xu Sijin's hanging heart fell. He smiled a little smugly: "I ran back quietly!" ”
Eleven Niang "chuckled" in her heart: "What happened?" Why did you quietly run back? "I looked nervous.
"Don't worry!" Xu Sijin hurriedly comforted his mother, "I'll come back, Master Gong knows." Not only did I know, but he asked me to come back! ”
Eleven Niang was a little puzzled.
"Here's the thing." Xu Sijin explained, "It stands to reason that the emperor should reward the generals when the noon gate is sacrificed, but now, the emperor has made Lord Gong the Marquis of Xining in advance, and I am Wu Jinbo, and when the noon gate is sacrificed, the emperor can only add officials to Lord Gong and me." With the credit of Lord Gong, at least he must be the governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army, and if he can't make it to be a squire in the military department, he will definitely not return to Guizhou. Don't we have a private mine in Guizhou? The county magistrate is not as good as the current management. If Lord Gong is promoted, how can this Guizhou general soldier have to find a trustworthy person to do it, otherwise, wouldn't we make a wedding dress for people in vain? Lord Gong's meaning, let me go to Beijing to discuss with my father and Lord Yong, and see how to get the position of the general army of Guizhou. ”
While speaking, Amber came in with tea, and shouted "Sixth Young Master" with an excited expression.
Only then did Eleven Niang realize that she and her son were standing in the aisle a little out of place to speak, and hurriedly pulled Xu Sijin to the big kang near the window and sat down: "When did you come back?" Have you eaten? While asking, he couldn't help but look Xu Sijin up and down.
Xu Sijin has grown taller than when he left home, his skin is still fair, but he is very thin, and his face is angular, if it weren't for a pair of eyes that look very energetic, Eleven Niang would have suspected that he hadn't eaten enough these days.
"What's going on with Duoyan?" She couldn't help but say distressedly, "Are you hurt?" Looking at him, it was clear that he was not deliberately dressed as a little maid to make her happy, "Are you pretending to be a little maid in Beijing?" What about Chang'an and Master Pang? Did you come back with you? Thinking of the fact that he just said that Gong Dongning asked him to go back to Beijing to discuss things with Xu Lingyi and Prince Yong, it can be seen that Xu Sijin doesn't want everyone to know that he is back, "How did you get into the mansion?" Do you want me to bring a letter to your father? ”
"Don't!" Xu Sijin hurriedly stopped Amber, who was moving when he heard the sound, and said to Eleven Niang, "Chang'an came back with me, if he hadn't asked Wan Guan to help, I wouldn't have been able to come in!" He added, "Daddy and Dou Ge are in the study, don't alarm them." I'll just wait for Daddy to come back! ”
Eleven Niang naturally wants to help her son.
Knowing that Xu Sijin had quietly entered the mansion, he couldn't help but whisper: "Okay, you can freshen up and freshen up at my place, eat a good meal, take a rest, and wait for your father to come back!" Then he asked, "What about Chang'an?" Does he have a place to stay? ”
"He and Steward Wan have gone home!" Xu Si said cautiously, "After saying that, we will meet in the alley at the back door in three days." He said, smiling at Amber, "Let the kitchen make me a pot of braised lion's head." Those guys would only use pork belly to stew Chinese cabbage, and finally caught Duoyan, and Master Gong ordered a braised lion's head for me in Chunjiang Building, and the result was like Sixi balls. ”
"Good, good, good." Amber's heart softened when she heard this, and she choked up a little, "I'll tell the kitchen to do it." Then he called Leng Xiang in, asked her and Hanxiao to fetch water to serve Xu Sijin to change clothes, and hurriedly went to the kitchen.
Eleven Niang went to the warm pavilion, and after a while, she came out with a stack of clothes.
"The clothes that are okay have not been delivered to you yet." She smiled and entered the clean room, "Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll alarm Ah Jin and Suifeng!" ”
Xu Sijin exclaimed, and a cat lived in his body, and his body sank underwater, leaving only his head on the water.
"Mother, how can you break in without saying hello?" He was displeased, "I've grown up and can marry a daughter-in-law!" ”
Leng Xiang, who was rolling up his sleeves to wash Xu Sijin's hair, was a little overwhelmed by his sudden move, and couldn't help but smile when he heard the words.
Eleven Niang teased her son: "Ouch, I didn't know that our brother and son missed their daughter-in-law!" She put her clothes on the small pestle beside her, "Why, this daughter-in-law has no shadow yet, so she thinks that her mother is troublesome!" ”
"What's wrong with you?" Xu Sijin muttered, "Aren't I not used to it?" ”
Eleven Niang looked at the clean room without service, and said with a pointful smile: "You haven't been at home for a few years, and your habit has really changed a lot - no one helps you wash your hair, are you clean?" ”
"I don't have a scab on my head!" Xu Sijin said disapprerovingly.
Eleven Niang smiled and walked out of the clean room.
Amber came and asked, "Has the sixth young master freshened up?" ”
Once you've freshened up, you're ready to eat.
"Not yet!" Eleven Niang smiled and glanced at Amber.
Amber understood, and took a few steps forward lightly.
Eleven Niang whispered: "I'll keep my brother staying overnight in my warm pavilion these days, and you will find a way to let people see his body...... I suspect he has injuries on his body. ”
The war was so tragic when he was chasing Duoyan, not to mention that he was still shirtless and changed his clothes in front of him the year he left, but after two years, why didn't he even dare to show her his shoulders!
Amber was stunned, quickly reacted, and nodded again and again: "Madam, don't worry, I can save it." ”
"Send one to the outer courtyard to watch, and take the time to tell Master Hou about Brother Jin'er's return." Eleven Niang muttered, "It's only four or five days before the army returns to Beijing, so we must hurry up my brother's affairs." ”
Amber echo is.
Xu Sijin walked out with wet hair.
"Although the weather is hot, I can't stop you from doing this." Eleven Niang hurriedly got off the kang, Leng Xiang cleverly handed the handkerchief over, and Eleven Niang pressed Xu Sijin on the brocade on the side and wiped her hair. Leng Xiang and Hanxiao went to bring the dining table in.
Xu Sijin ate three bowls of rice in a row before putting the chopsticks.
"It's so comfortable!" He touched his stomach and leaned lazily on the big pillow covered with ginger kudzu cloth, as satisfied as a cat that had eaten fish, "Mother, you say, how about I go to Sichuan?" ”
Eleven Niang sat on her son, her eyes fell on her son, and she couldn't get enough of it.
"Why do you want to go to Sichuan?"
"Didn't Ding Zhi return to Beijing? The Sichuan General Army will definitely have to be replaced. He analyzed, "This time to pacify the northwest, the soldiers of the Guizhou Metropolitan Division have made great efforts, and the Sichuan General Army will definitely choose one from the Guizhou Metropolitan Division." I am familiar with all the people in Guizhou Dusi, and it is natural to get twice the result with half the effort. What do you think? ”
"What do you have to do?" Eleven Niang touched her son's head dotingly, "What about half the effort?" ”
"You don't know!" Xu Sijin leaned into his mother's ear and whispered, "There are salt farms in Sichuan. Chengdu, Xuzhou, Shunqing, Baoning, Kuizhou, Tongzhou, Jiading, and Guang'an all eat Sichuan salt, and pay more than 70,000 taels of silver to the Shaanxi Town Supervisor every year! ”
"Who are you listening to?" Eleven Niang was a little crying and laughing, "Are you going to the edge of the town?" Or go into business? ”
"If you don't have money, who will follow you!" Xu Sijin disagreed, "These outside things, you don't know if you tell them, so you don't care." I'm just afraid that I'll go to Sichuan, you think I'm panicking! ”
"You still know that my mother misses you!" Eleven Niang led the topic to what she cared about, "You didn't think about your mother when you went to chase Duoyan single-handedly!" Why are you so bold, even Lord Ouyang gave up, you actually borrowed Yulinwei's people to chase Duoyan without knowing the seriousness, you know, you only have 3,000 people, and Duoyan has more than 10,000 horses. The commander of Yulinwei is also yes, why did he listen to you......"
Xu Sijin hurriedly interrupted Eleven Niang's words: "Mother, didn't I come back alive?" It also made a great contribution. As he spoke, he salivated and grabbed Eleven Niang's shoulder, "Mother, there are not many young heroes like your son, there are not many Great Zhou Dynasty!" ”
Eleven Niang couldn't help laughing, thinking that she was going to teach her son a lesson, she immediately made a straight face and said in a deep voice: "Mother is serious with you, don't mess around there." Calm down and think about it, if you can catch Duoyan this time, is it luck that accounts for a big ......"
Before she finished speaking, Xu Sijin had already smiled wryly: "Mother, I know." Your son is now Uncle Wu Jin, you just want to raise your father, and you also want to give some face, my uncle is! ”
Shi Niang originally wanted to say that there was no emperor and Gong Dongning, even if he found Duoyan, it would be impossible to catch Duoyan, but he didn't expect him to mention Xu Lingyi.
"What does this have to do with your father?"
Didn't Daddy say everything?
Xu Sijin's eyes widened: "You, don't you know?" ”
She hadn't looked at Xu Lingyi for some days.
For a while, Eleven Niang's heart was in turmoil.
"Your dad didn't tell me!" She said vaguely.
Dad said that there are some things that are the responsibility of men, so there is no need for women to know and be afraid. However, since my father didn't tell my mother, I must have felt that there was no need to let my mother know.
Xu Sijin's expression was slightly hesitant.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" Eleven Niang also went out and knew that the mentality of being a child to report good news and not bad news in front of her parents, urged Xu Sijin half-truthfully, "Wasn't your life and death unknown at that time?" ”
Xu Sijin was immediately relieved and said with a smile: "Daddy said, when Lord Gong is in order, the daylilies will be cold - Daddy sent someone to bring a letter to the Wang family in Liaoyuan, and it was the Wang family's horse gang who brought us food and helped me find Duoyan."
Eleven Niang couldn't hide her stunned.
"The Wang family? Changshun home? ”
