After Lu Yan retired, the prince came, and the emperor was still reminiscing about the pig's head burrito, and was explaining to the eunuch of the Imperial Diet.

"The people's livelihood is difficult, the treasury is tight, don't be too extravagant, it's better to eat every five days..."

The eunuch replied with tears in his eyes.

"Your Majesty is too bitter about yourself," he said, wiping away tears.

"What's so bitter about this," the emperor said with a smile, his fat face huddled together, and looked at the prince who came over, "I have to suffer a little in order to make you suffer less." ”

The prince immediately knelt down and choked, and the emperor ordered him to get up and give him a seat, and told him about Lu Yan.

"He wants to go back to Shanxi?" The prince was surprised, isn't it true that everyone in this world is seeking officials for thousands of miles to rise higher and higher?

"Yes, I wasn't mistaken." The Emperor said.

"Will he have any bad intentions?" the prince said in a low voice.

The emperor looked at him, his expression was solemn, the prince was stopped talking by him, his expression was a little sneering, I don't know how he said this sentence is wrong, now their father and son's foundation is not stable, and it is also appropriate to be careful....

"He knows where he belongs." The emperor looked at the crown prince and said word by word, "And you, you must make sure that everyone belongs to the place where they should belong, so that the world is peaceful." ”

The news that Lu Yan was going back to Shanxi spread quickly.

"I listened to His Majesty's intentions, and I wanted him to be the pacification of the Jingwei Command Division." Wu Shungong said to Chen Qing that the new emperor ascended the throne, and the originally decadent Wushun Mansion regained its vitality, although the people of the He clan were more low-key, but the look on their faces could not hide their brilliance.

Chen Qing didn't speak, since he came back from Shanxi from injury, he has not left the capital, the Wushun family played a key role when the King of Jin forced the palace, but this is not enough for outsiders.

The credit of Lu Yan's battle against Li Thief to relieve the siege of the capital is announced to the world, and everyone looks up to him.

That's the merit that really belongs to a man.

He hung his hands, thinking about the few encounters he had with Lu Yan these days. Somehow, through the man, more of the woman's description came to mind.

"I really didn't expect him to go back to Shanxi, and he still held his original position, which... This... I don't know which one to sing. Wu Shungong shook his head and twisted his beard, looked up and saw his son wandering out, and couldn't help coughing.

"Father." Chen Qing Shili apologized.

"Not to mention him, Your Majesty has his own arrangements. What are you going to do? Wu Shungong looked at him and asked, "What do you think of the leopard Taowei of the former military governor's mansion?" ”

The Son of Heaven forbids the army, has a prominent family background, and after a few years of hard work, it is not a problem to enter the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

This is the dream road of every young man of the military generals and nobles in the capital.

Chen Qing was silent for a moment.

"He's going back to guard Shanxi." He said suddenly.

Wu Shungong's thinking didn't keep up for a while, and he didn't understand which one he was talking about.

"I'm going south. I'm going to go with General Pingning to the expedition. Chen Qing raised his head and said resolutely.

Li Changsan was defeated and fled, and in just a few months, he resurrected again, pulling up a large number of followers in the south of the Yangtze River, and the emperor ordered the Governor's Mansion to prepare for a great expedition, which was bound to eliminate the rebels.

Wu Shungong looked at his son with a surprised expression.

"You..." Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Wu Shungong quickly understood his thoughts and sighed. Seeing him nodding, his eyes softened, "These days, go and spend more time with your mother." ”

"Yes." Chen Qing bowed his head in response.

Naturally, the news also reached the Liu family, and Master Liu was furious when he heard the words.

"It seems that he is not a saint-hearted, and everyone else is a high-ranking official, so how did he come and go." He said indignantly, "I wasted a dozen taels of silver in vain to dot that official." ”

Since then, Lu Yan has not been mentioned, and he has found another way to connect.

This capital is disturbed. For Liu Meibao in Hedong. No impact.

It was already very hot in June, and Liu Meibao put Lu Fang, who had taken a bath, on the big kang. He couldn't wait to put on his belly pocket and start crawling, and the maid and nurse were busy and carefully blocking the edge of the bed.

The lady of the outside housekeeper was waiting for instructions with a few gift lists, and Liu Meibao went out to check and discuss.

"I heard that Lord Ning is going to marry?" Liu Meibao asked with a smile.

The parents of these generals at all levels are short, and Liu Meibao requires this lady in charge to know, she can't worry about everything in her daily life, and the information of the family members and even the children of each family is in the hands of this lady in charge.

"Yes, it's a girl from a homeless family who settled here last year." The lady in charge immediately laughed.

"Girl?" Liu Meibao was very surprised.

"Yes, it's an old girl, and she's twenty-four this year." The housekeeper smiled.

Liu Meibao sighed a few times.

"Don't he persecute people, right?" She couldn't help but ask.

She heard that this old man Ning Baohua has a bad heart and likes to go to the fireworks place, but the ruler is short and long, so she naturally can't ask about these personal matters.

"Madam, how can that be, Lord Ning is hot now, how many people are vying to kiss him, this girl is very willing." The housekeeper smiled.

Liu Meibao sighed a few more times, look, this is the difference between men and women.

"I haven't set a date yet, so I didn't tell my wife, saying that I would wait until the adults came back." The lady in charge said again.

At the mention of the word adult, Liu Meibao's expression darkened slightly.

It seems like I'm going to forget this person for a long time....

"Sac .." A child's voice came from within.

Liu Meibao came back to her senses and saw Lu Fang, who was being held by a servant, opening her hand to herself.

"Sac sac .." He shouted inarticulate with his teeth bared.

"I'm stupid, I can't even shout my mother." Liu Meibao smiled and reached out to take him.

The kitchen made a sticker was delivered, Liu Meibao put Lu Fang in a specially made children's dining chair, now this kind of children's dining chair has swept the homes of generals at all levels in Hedongbao, and even Pingyang Wei Taiyuan Mansion has come to ask for a look, if it weren't for Lu Yan's workshop is too busy, she will try to develop children's appliances.

Lu Fang's meal was not small, and he was quiet, sitting there not as noisy as other children, and obediently ate the egg gnocchi rice that Liu Meibao fed him one bite at a time.

"The boat is so good." Liu Meibao took the handkerchief handed by the servant woman and wiped her son's saliva, while kissing him heavily.

Lu Fang happily spit out a string of words and opened his hand at Liu Meibao.

Liu Meibao picked him up and sat on the big kang to teach him to speak, and after a while, Lu Fang got bored and wanted to go out to play.

"Just play at the door, don't go far." She instructed as she watched the servants go out with their children in their arms. He walked into the pharmacy and began to make extra money.

It was nearly evening, Liu Meibao rubbed her sore arms and walked out, the sunset in the west covered the courtyard with a layer of glow, and there was not a single servant woman in the courtyard.

"Gone to dinner?" Liu Meibao muttered, walked towards the house, and just after buying the threshold, he heard a lively sound behind him.

"Daddy. Daddy.."

This is Lu Fang's voice.

Stinky boy, this is called clearly, your mother and I are guarding you every day, but you can't call it clearly.

Liu Meibao pursed her lips and turned around with a smile, and the smile suddenly condensed on her face.

A tall and burly man at the gate of the courtyard was holding Lu Fang and was throwing him high.

This exciting game made Lu Fang laugh excitedly.

"Daddy. Dad, too. He waved his little hands and shouted in a milky voice.

"Okay." Lu Yan replied, holding his son in his arms in an unfamiliar manner, and while looking over, he smiled slightly at Liu Meibao's blank gaze.

Liu Meibao turned around and walked into the house.

"I knew that if I didn't sleep well, I would hallucinate sooner or later." She reached out and patted her forehead, muttering to herself.

Lu Yan was slightly stunned, and then smiled again.

"Mabel." He shouted in the back.

Liu Meibao's footsteps paused slightly.

"Auditory hallucinations are also terrible." She then shook her head. "Looks like I'll have to eat a few meals of Ejiao to make up for it..."

Lu Yanxiao's eyes were a little wet, he quickened his pace and walked into the house, and saw his wife lying on the big kang, pulling the pillow to cover her head.

A muffled cry came from under the pillow.

Lu Yan only felt that his nose was sour and hot, and Lu Fang, who was originally going to play the game of throwing high, saw his mother's strange appearance, and immediately slapped Lu Yan with his hand, shouting to Liu Meibao.

Lu Yan sat on the big kang with his son in his arms, and he covered it like that, covering Liu Meibao, who was crying and trembling slightly.

"I'm back. Not a dream. He whispered.

Liu Meibao cried even louder.

Lu Yan wanted to remove the pillow that was on her head. was dragged by Liu Meibao.

"Don't take it, don't take it. Take it away and wake up," she cried.

Lu Yan only felt that he wanted to cry too, and was just about to open his mouth to persuade him, when Lu Fang, who was sitting next to them, suddenly raised his hand and scratched his face.

"Hit, hit.." He screamed.

The child's nails were pointy, and they actually left two marks on Lu Yan's face.

Lu Fang hit the blow, pounced on Liu Meibao, and began to cry.

Liu Meibao hurriedly turned over, wiping her tears while hugging her son to comfort her, looking at Lu Yan with hazy teary eyes, seeing that he was stunned, he didn't seem to have reacted from his son's attack, so he couldn't help but laugh again, and raised his hand to touch Lu Yan's face.

"Good son." Lu Yan said suddenly, "I know that it is my Lu Yan's son who protects your mother." ”

His voice increased suddenly, making Lu Fang a little frightened, and he drilled tightly into Liu Meibao's arms, looking at this strange man who made his mother cry with laughter.

Outside, there was a lot of activity, and the servants and generals at all levels who came to report the news poured into the door.

Looking at the smiling servants standing in the room, Liu Meibao glared at them.

"Madam, it was the adults who said that they wanted to surprise their wife, and they didn't let us pass it on, and they called us all out." The housekeeper smiled.

Also pleasantly surprised! This idiot will play this too.

"A trip to Beijing will play tricks." Liu Meibao glanced at Lu Yan.

The servant woman brought a hot water hand towel, Liu Meibao wiped her face, and wiped her face with her son who was hiding in her arms and peeping at Lu Yan.

"Go quickly, everyone is waiting." Seeing Lu Yan sitting on the big kang and just looking at their mother and son, Liu Meibao said, "They are also waiting for surprises." ”

This kind of smile and frown, this kind of crisp and fast talk, I will see it many times in my dreams, and it is not as good as the real one.

"Let them all go back, just if I don't come back, I want to accompany my wife and children, and I will talk about it in three days." Lu Yan said.

Liu Meibao looked at him and laughed.

The room suddenly lit up, and the furnishings that hadn't changed in the slightest seemed to be covered with a layer of warmth.

The heart fell steadily, and Liu Meibao couldn't help but let out a sigh.

In the following year, that is, in May of the second year of Yongzhen, Lu Yan, the military commander of the Ministry of War, inspected Hedongbao and performed his duties loyally and dutifully, made great contributions to the country, and was promoted to two levels, awarded the commander of the Pingyang guard, and served as the garrison officer of Pingyang City.

All walks of life in Shanxi knew about Lu Yan's promotion, but when the exact official document was issued, it still caused a boil.

The twenty-three-year-old garrison, which was the first since the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After the news came, the whole Shanxi was lively, and there was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate them.

It took Lu Yan a month to deal with the sundries, arrange the things in Hedong, and take his wife and children to Pingyang City.
