Chapter 738: Taking Chestnuts (I)
Gong Dongning is the coach, and there should be no danger by his side!
Eleven Niang let out a long sigh of relief, paying more attention to the battle ahead.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, the Ganzhou War reported that Gong Dongning suppressed more than 10,000 enemies, and trained new soldiers with the help of captured war horses, 3,000 knights went straight to Datong with lightning speed, killing 2,000 enemies, and another 20,000 Tartar troops fled to Jiayu Pass to relieve Ouyang Ming's predicament. In the middle of Wudan, there was good news, Gong Dongning left the soldiers and horses of the Sichuan capital to guard Ganzhou, and he personally led the soldiers and horses of the Guizhou capital to Datong to encircle and suppress more than 20,000 people.
Xu Lingyi raised his eyebrows slightly: "Give up Xuantong and go to Datong, cut off the back road of Dazi, and then join Ouyang Ming's troops to attack Xuantong, not only to recover the lost territory, but also to solve the danger of Yanjing." Then he shouted loudly, "Hand over the sign, I want to enter the palace." The voice was loud and loud.
It had been a long time since he had spoken like this.
Eleven Niang also smiled: "Isn't there a good chance of winning this war?" ”
Xu Lingyi nodded, sat on the edge of the bed and said to her softly: "So I want to enter the palace - I have to persuade the emperor to let Gong Dongning command the three armies, otherwise, one army and two commanders, there will definitely be changes at that time." ”
In this case, the emperor should agree to Xu Lingyi's invitation!
Eleven Niang's heart suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.
Xu Lingyi gently brushed a few strands of green silk hanging from her ears behind her ears, and said gently: "The weather is very good today, do you want to go and sit in the back garden." ”
She had been unwell ever since that day.
He knew that she had a heart disease, and he didn't ask for a doctor, she slept when she wanted to, and when she didn't want to sleep, she did needlework or read books, and everything went according to her heart, but despite this, she was still pale day by day.
Or maybe I was too depressed before, but at this time my mood suddenly became cheerful, and I felt a little tired. Eleven Niang lay on the big pillow: "I want to sleep for a while!" "People are lazy and have no spirit.
Xu Lingyi looked at her almost transparent face, and her eyes were full of love: "Then sleep for a while." There are Jiang family affairs and Yingniang. He helped her tuck the corners of the quilt casually, and couldn't help but comfort her: "Gong Dongning also said in the letter, Brother Jin is very smart, he can learn it, and he will understand it after a while, he likes it very much, and now let Brother Jin help him sort out the paperwork!" I'm afraid that she doesn't know the power of it, and explained, "What Brother Jin is doing now is like a bachelor in the cabinet - after sorting out the official documents of various departments and guards in the army, he gave Gong Dongning instructions, and then transferred the official documents instructed by Gong Dongning to various departments and guards, which seems trivial, but he can understand the major and minor affairs in the army, and he can learn a lot of things, which will be of great help to him in the future." He added, "Since Dazi has succeeded this time, the northwest will not be peaceful in the past few years." After the war, Gong Dongning would most likely confer the title of squire in the military department, and serve as the governor of the right army to calm the northwest. He also has this meaning, and he wants to take Brother Jin with him for a few years, and then it is not too late to slowly let him stand alone. ”
The implication is that this time, Brother Jin will not go to the battlefield, and do not fight for military merits, there will be opportunities in the future.
"Lord Gong is very thoughtful." Eleven Niang's heart was a little more comfortable, and there was a little more brightness between her eyebrows and eyes.
Xu Lingyi looked at it, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and her voice became softer: "Then you can sleep for a while!" Wake up at noon and let's have lunch together, okay? ”
Eleven Niang said "um", turned over and fell asleep.
Xu Lingyi sat quietly for a while before getting up lightly and going to the study.
Eleven Niang slept very deeply, and when she woke up, the sun was already in the west. It's past lunch time.
"Why don't you call me up?" She asked Leng Xiang, who served her dress.
"Hou Ye was hesitating to call you, but there was a waiter in the palace to let Hou Ye enter the palace immediately," the little maid came in with a copper basin, and Leng Xiang surrounded the big handkerchief on Shi Niang's chest, and helped her roll up her sleeves, "Hou Ye asked the slaves and maids not to quarrel with you!" ”
Eleven Niang washed her face: "Then didn't the Hou Ye have lunch." ”
"yes!" Leng Xiang said, and came in with bird's nest porridge with a smile.
Or it's been lying down for a long time, and the body is still a little soft.
Eleven Niang used bird's nest porridge and snuggled it into the quilt again: "Let the kitchen prepare, and as soon as the Hou Ye comes back, he will serve the meal." ”
Smiled and left.
After a while, Xu Lingyi came back from the palace, and sat down next to Eleven Niang without changing her clothes, "I'm still sleeping!" Did you have lunch? ”
"Used!" Eleven Niang smiled, "I heard that Master Hou entered the palace before he had time for lunch, he must be very hungry, right?" Go and change your clothes, and I'll let the little maids pass the meal. Xu Lingyi saw that she was in good spirits, smiled, and turned around and went to the clean room.
Eleven Niang was secretly strange.
Why did Xu Lingyi's smile look a little reluctant, could it be that the matter of entering the palace was not going well?
Her heart tightened again.
When Xu Lingyi finished eating, he said softly: "What did the emperor say about Gong Dongning?" ”
Xu Lingyi looked stunned.
Eleven Niang said: "Although I will be worried, but Hou Ye has always been a good word, you told me, so that I don't hear some short and long things from other places, and I will be more frightened." ”
Is this the general's army?
Xu Lingyi smiled helplessly, and had to admit that what she said made sense.
"The emperor left 10,000 troops of Dengzhouwei, Ninghaiwei, Jinanwei, and Pingshanwei of Shandong Dusi to Ouyang Ming, and the rest of the troops were all under the command of Gong Dongning." Eleven Niang was stunned, and quickly understood: "Does the emperor want Ouyang Ming to make meritorious contributions?" ”
"400,000 troops, two-thirds lost." Xu Lingyi said in a deep voice, "Ouyang Ming can only be exempted from capital crimes if he makes military merits. ”
The emperor is only "maybe" to protect him like this...... Eleven Niang's heart was depressed, and she suddenly thought of Fan Weigang: "That Lord Fan? ”
Xu Lingyi's eyes darkened, and he said after a while: "If he lives and dies with Xuantong, he can still be blamed in the past, and now he ......" shook his head with a wry smile.
Shi Niang's heart moved when she listened: "Master Hou, do you know Fan Weigang's whereabouts?" ”
Xu Lingyi was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "He committed suicide!" ”
Eleven Niang gasped, and after a while, she wondered, "Why didn't you hear the news?" ”
Xu Lingyi's voice lowered: "He has relatives who came to see me, and asked me to help him plead with the emperor, hoping that he can not be responsible for his family." ”
Eleven Niang couldn't help but be stunned: "Once a son of heaven and a courtier." If it was the first emperor, maybe he would have the opportunity to lead 10,000 troops, and have a chance to atone for his sins! ”
Xu Lingyi also sighed a little: "So I sometimes think, either stay aside honestly and don't get involved in the temple dispute; Either you have the ability to turn your hands into clouds and cover your hands for rain, and you will not fall down after several years. ”
Shi Niang looked at him with a look of worrying about the country and the people, and couldn't help but smile: "How many dynasties has the Hou Ye experienced?" ”
"Three dynasties!" Xu Lingyi saw that she was in a rare good mood and made her happy. The tone was a little flamboyant, "From Jianwu to Yonghe to Xining, I am also a veteran of the Three Dynasties." ”
Eleven Niang looked at his jet-black head and couldn't help laughing.
Xu Lingyi took the opportunity to pull her: "Get up, you eat something and I will go to greet my mother!" ”
"Hmm!" Eleven Niang responded, lying on his shoulder and laughing.
The body is as soft as boneless, and the whole person is soft, different from the indifference of the past.
Xu Lingyi smiled and kissed her on the cheek, hugged her to the big kang by the window, and helped her put on her shoes.
This is the first time.
Eleven Niang was a little embarrassed: "I'll come by myself!" ”
Xu Lingyi just looked at her with a smile: "Kick your feet!" ”
There was the footsteps of the little maid outside: "Master Hou, madam, dinner is coming!" ”
Eleven Niang hurriedly put on her shoes and glanced at Xu Lingyi.
Xu Lingyi laughed on the side.
The atmosphere in the house became warm.
The maids, daughters-in-law, and mothers-in-law all breathed a sigh of relief.
Leng Xiang even reported Amber: "Madame and Master Hou have reconciled!" ”
Amber had a cold face: "When did Madam and Hou Ye get angry?" Madame's discomfort is just worrying about the sixth young master. Don't talk nonsense. ”
Leng Xiang hurriedly lowered her head: "The slave knows her mistake." Don't dare anymore! ”
Amber said "um" with satisfaction, but her eyes looked towards the main house, and she saw that Shi Niang was wearing a lake-green mausoleum shirt, goose-yellow burnt cloth armor, and red gold and ruby-encrusted earrings hanging from her ears, and walked out side by side with Xu Lingyi with a soft smile.
Eleven Niang is also in no mood to clean up and dress up for a few days, it seems that the sky is sunny after the rain!
Amber couldn't help but smile on her lips.
Mrs. Tai was also very happy to see Eleven Niang: "Her face is much better!" ”
Eleven Niang smiled and helped Mrs. Tai refill a cup of tea.
"It's good that the body is well!" Mrs. Tai didn't drink tea, but picked up the cherries in the crystal plate to eat, "You are not feeling well, and we have not had a good Dragon Boat Festival." Mrs. Tai said to the second lady, "Tomorrow we will go rowing in Liufangwu, shall we?" I haven't rowed a boat yet this year! "Like a child.
Mrs. Tai is not as good as before, when she goes boating, she has to be taken care of by Kong Wu's mother-in-law.
The second lady looked at Eleven Niang as if asking for advice: "Or, let's go rowing tomorrow?" ”
"Good! All right! Without waiting for Eleven Niang to speak, the fifth lady smiled and said, "Everyone is flustered these days, while the weather is good, we are lively!" ”
Eleven Niang felt that the weather was too hot, but everyone wanted to go, she was naturally kind and flowing, smiled and responded, and asked Jiang to arrange rowing, and sat in the pavilion with a fan on that day, watching the second lady, the fifth lady, Yingniang, Brother Xian, Brother Cheng, Brother Ting, and Brother Zhuang smiling and rowing in the Biman Lake.
The breeze came slowly, and she couldn't help but squint her eyes.
It's already midsummer, and the Northwest Net Festival is late, but it should be here.
As long as the grass is lush, it is a good season for grazing, if you miss this season, you will miss this year, Gong Dongning has good news again, and those Dazi should be like arrows! Then this war should be over soon!
Thinking of these, Eleven Niang was in a better mood.
Jiang Shi, who was serving on the side, saw it, and smiled and held a blue and white porcelain goblin fruit plate filled with water chestnuts and lotus seeds: "Mother, it's sent from Nanjing, you can taste it!" ”
Eleven Niang smiled and took a water chestnut.
The exclamations of Brother Ting and Brother Zhuang came from Biyou Lake.
Brother Xian and his two nephews rowed the boat into the lotus bush, where the two little ones were picking lotus flowers!
Jiang smiled and asked Eleven Niang: "I heard that Lord Gong has won one after another, and the sixth uncle is coming back soon, right?" ”
In front of Mrs. Tai, everyone dared not say that Gong Dongning was appointed as the governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army, and he was leading the men and horses of the Guizhou Metropolitan Division to fight in Xuantong.
Eleven Niang's jaw, the smile on her face became even bigger: "Yes, Brother Jin is coming back soon!" ”
