Early the next morning, Shi Niang and Xu Lingyi were having breakfast, and Deng Hua hurriedly walked in: "Master Hou, General Gong just came!" …。

Xu Lingyi hurriedly took it, glanced at it, and showed a bitter face: "The day before yesterday, Yan Duo's whereabouts were revealed near Yulin, and he had ordered Ouyang Ming to lead 10,000 troops to Yulin, and Brother Jin accompanied him as a fellow acquaintance - Chen Ge Lao, there is no need to go!" …”

The farther west you go, the closer you get to the grassland, the farther away you are, the greater the possibility that Duoyan will leave smoothly, and if you don't chase after you, I'm afraid there will be no chance!

They wanted to stop Brother Jin, but they were still one step too late!

Eleven Niang let out a long sigh: "It's up to people to make a difference." It's up to the sky. I hope that Brother Jin can know his situation and cooperate well with Ouyang Ming and Ouyang Ming, and everyone will pay less attention to him. ”

Compared with the emperor's high-profile protection of Ouyang Ming, Brother Jin was more low-key.

Xu Lingyi thought the same way, and he showed an appreciative look: "After eating, I'll go to Wang Li's place." It's just a few things, or they are convenient to do. Eleven Niang nodded, always paying attention to the news in Yulin.

On the second day of the sixth month, Ouyang Ming and his entourage caught up with Yan Duo in the Qinhe River not far from Yulin, and just when Ouyang Ming thought that Yan Duo was already in hand, more than 20,000 Tartar cavalry suddenly poured out...... Xu Lingyi pinched the knuckles of the letterhead: "Twenty thousand Tartars...... In other words, "the Tartars who fled from Datong did not return to the grassland at all, but hid near Datong and waited for the plane?。。

The one who came to report to Xu Lingyi was Hu San, a personal attendant of Gong Dongning, who was twenty-seven or eight years old, very calm and won Gong Dongning's trust. Xu Lingyi's gaze overwhelmed him a little, and he nodded with difficulty, not daring to look at Xu Lingyi's expression.

"What's going on now? "For a long time, Xu Lingyi asked Hu San.

Hu San pondered and said, "Lord Ouyang annihilated eight thousand enemies. Seriously injured, now unconscious. His voice was low but coherent, "Lord Xu chased after him with the three thousand men and horses of Yulin Guard!" Speaking of this, Gong Dongning's iron green face suddenly appeared in Ming San's mind before leaving, and Gong Dongning's hoarse voice also sounded in his ears. “…… The Marquis of Pingyong recreated me with kindness, and gave me my favorite young son, jiao, not only did I not take good care of the child, but also lost the child to Nong...... If it weren't for the military order, I would have gone to Yanjing to personally ask Lord Xu for the guilt, you go, remember to kowtow to Lord Xu on my behalf and tell Lord Xu. Wait for me to get the handsome seal, and then go to him to accompany him. When the time comes, whether it is beating or scolding, it will be dealt with by Lord Xu, and there will be no unwillingness... He couldn't help shuddering, and hurriedly said, "Master Hou" Our family sent General Li, who is the most capable of fighting well, to chase after him with the talented cavalry in the army.

I believe it will not be a few days. That's when the good news came...... "......,...。

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Xu Lingyi waved his hand at him slowly: "Although it was an ambush by the Tartars, it was defeated in the end." Only by catching Yan Duo "can he atone for his sins." Even if you chase him, he probably won't come back with you! …”

Hu San looked up at Xu Lingyi in surprise.

Xu Lingyi's face was expressionless. But a hint of pathos flashed in his eyes.

Hu San thought of the anecdotes about Xu Lingyi's fortitude and decisiveness that circulated in the barracks. I felt very uncomfortable, I knew that I was arrogant, but I still couldn't help but say: "Master Hou, no, General Li is not only good at fighting, but also good at words, and he will definitely be able to persuade Lord Xu back." Otherwise, our family would not have let General Li go. Our family also said that the general who led the army this time was Lord Ouyang, and Lord Xu was just a fellow knower, even if there was a mistake, "That is also Lord Ouyang's fault." At that time, Lord Xu will lie dormant beside our family for a few years, and then go to them to compete when there is a movement in the northwest. Get this field back and leave. If it were usual, Xu Lingyi would definitely not say anything to people like Hu San. Available today. Nineteen things that are stable are not said halfway. When I go back, how should I face the eleventh good with his eyes...... His mind was relieved for a moment.

"You don't know, Brother Jin is a strong child. "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will not give up." What's more, your family also sent General Li to bring all the cavalry ...... in the army, and he will not go back no matter what! …”

Hu Sanwei fell silent.

is also by Gong Dongning's side, and he has a little understanding of Brother Jin'er's xìng feelings.

"Well, day and night, you've worked hard all the way. Let's go down and rest!. , Xu Lingyi waved his hand and ended the conversation.

Hu San saluted respectfully and stepped back lightly.

Xu Lingyi sat on the big kang near the window of the study, staring blankly at the turquoise Qingping raised in the glazed jar on the windowsill, until the sky was getting dark" He took a long breath, put the letter in the box on the side and got up and got off the kang. After only two steps, he turned back again, placed the box containing the letter in the most inconspicuous compartment in the lower right corner of the Bogu shelf, and returned to the main room.

Different from the loneliness of the previous days, today's main house is brightly lit, the maids, daughters-in-law, and mothers-in-law are brisk, the red lanterns are shining, and the corners of the eyes and eyebrows are full of joy.

Xu Lingyi was stunned.

A smile has already come out: "Master Hou is coming and come into the house!" Madame has been waiting for a long time!

Xu Lingyi's heart tightened.

Could it be that Eleven Niang knows something?

The thought flashed through me, and I felt that I was a little too much.

If Eleven Niang knew about Brother Jin'er, how could there be a festive smell everywhere in the house!

Thinking about it, he nodded faintly towards Hanxiao and strode into the inner room.

Eleven Niang leaned on the pillow of the big kang near the window, and was talking to Amber with a gentle face, when she heard the movement, she turned her head, and her eyebrows were a little confused: "Hou Ye is back!" Amber hurriedly got up to salute Xu Lingyi, and called Leng Xiang to come in and serve Xu Lingyi to change clothes.

Eleven Niang lay on the bed and did not move.

Xu Lingyi was slightly stunned, walked over and sat on the edge of the bed: "What's wrong?" Isn't there something uncomfortable?。。

"It's not! Eleven Niang's face was crimson, and her expression was a little unnatural, "I'm fine!" He said, "Master Hou, go and change your clothes!" I'll let the maids eat. ”

Xu Lingyi caught a glimpse of Amber at the corner of her mouth and smiled.

"What's going on? Xu Lingyi looked at Amber suspiciously.

Amber glanced at Eleven Niang, and smiled half-squatting down to perform the blessing ceremony: "Congratulations to Master Hou, congratulations to Master Hou, Mrs. has just been diagnosed!" ”

Hi ......

Xu Lingyi was stunned for a long time before reacting: "Really, really。。 The voice was a little flustered.

Brother Jin is in his teens" He had already died, but he didn't expect to have a ...... There is a taste of lost and regained, and I feel even more happy.

"Do you feel sick in any way?." His hand couldn't help but feel for her abdomen, "If you want anything in particular?。。

Xu Lingyi thought of Brother Huaijin's discomfort when she was a child, and her tone was a little worried.

"Didn't 。。 Eleven Niang's face was very red, "If it weren't for Amber reminding me, "I haven't thought about it a few days ago!" ..., thinking of this, she looked straight, "Brother Jin'er, what is the news?" Counting the days, there should be a letter from Yulin. ”

"Haven't heard anything yet! I'll tell you as soon as I have news. Xu Lingyi tried her best to make her voice as soothing and calm as usual, "You really don't feel uncomfortable?." He changed the subject, and his hand gently stroked Eleven Niang's abdomen, "Niang's side." Got it? The voice was very soft.

Amber looked at the man who was busy serving in the house, and the fish retreated.

"Not yet。。 Eleven Niang lowered her eyelids, "I don't know how to tell my mother...... Brother Zhuang can run all over the ground.........

Xu Lingyi smiled and hugged Eleven Niang in her arms: "What's so embarrassing about this!" Most of them are younger uncles than nephews. This shows that our family is prosperous。。

Hearing him say, "Uncle is younger than nephew...", Eleven Niang said: "Maybe it's a daughter!" The last time I was pregnant with my brother, I didn't feel comfortable for a day, but I didn't know if I was pregnant! ”。

"Hello daughter。。 Xu Lingyi didn't care" "My daughter is my mother's little beech jacket, give birth to a daughter, how intimate!" "I think so too!". Eleven Niang's tone was full of longing, "It must be that God thinks Brother Jin is too naughty, make up for me as an obedient one!" Xu Lingyi laughed, feeling cold in her heart.

Brother Jin entered the grassland in order to chase Duoyan, and his whereabouts are unknown...... I have been looking forward to the child for so many years, but I don't come early or late, but Eleven Niang is pregnant at this time...... Could it be that God really took pity on the emptiness of their knees to compensate for them?

The thought together, "the heart hurts like a knife." But he didn't dare to show it in front of Eleven Niang, and he had to talk to her with a smile: "Be careful, brother Jin'er knows, and he will question us when the time comes." He never felt like he was stubborn! …”

Thinking of her son's frowning and embarrassed appearance, Eleven Niang smiled and said worriedly: "You said, if Brother Jin knew that he was about to add a younger brother or sister, wouldn't he be a little disappointed?" …”

"Why is he lost?。。 Xu Lingjin was puzzled, "He only has a brother or sister, and he has one more person to support, how can he be lost?" …”

Brother Jin has always been very fond of her, and if she has a brother or sister, her energy will definitely be distracted, and she will pay less attention to him...... However, Xu Lingyi's words also make sense, this world pays attention to many sons and many blessings, maybe Brother Jin will be very happy to know it!

"Shall we write a letter to Brother Jin。。 Eleven Niang smiled, "Lest he be surprised when he comes home...

"I'll write it tomorrow! Xu Lingyi remained silent, "Let's eat today, and then go to greet my mother and ...... incense to my ancestors." ”

Eleven Niang nodded, but she wondered in her heart that if Brother Jin came back, how would she tell him about it!

Within a few days, everyone knew the news of Eleven Niang's pregnancy.

Mrs. Lin, Huang San Nainai, and Mrs. Zhou all came to see her. Eleven Niang is not allowed to be entertained with wine and food. The family came and went, and it was very lively for a few days.

Eleven Niang was suspicious.

Why didn't any of these people who came to see her ask about Brother Jin?
