Lu Yan, who fell asleep after the joy of the night, was awakened again.

Liu Meibao was getting out of bed cautiously, Lu Yan thought she was going to go to the toilet, and told her to put on her clothes, listening to Liu Meibao's hum, he fell asleep in a daze, and woke up suddenly, and found that Liu Meibao had not come back yet, and the quilt around her was already cold.

Lu Yan immediately got up.

"My wife went to the pharmacy." The mother-in-law on duty at night heard the inquiry and hurriedly replied.

Lu Yan was surprised, and hurriedly followed, only to see that Liu Meibao was really in the medicine room, and had fallen asleep on the table in a daze.

Lu Yan hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward to shake her awake.

"I... I.." Liu Meibao was a little embarrassed when she saw Lu Yan coming.

"Still can't sleep?" Lu Yan asked with a sigh.

Liu Meibao also sighed and did not speak.

Lu Yan looked around the room and sighed.

"That's easy, let's sleep here." He laughed.

Liu Meibao raised her eyes to look at him.

Lu Yan was already wandering around the room, pointing to one place.

"Make a bed here." He said.

"How can this work?" Liu Meibao smiled and shook her head, "If you don't sleep in a good house, what's the point of coming here." ”

"Husband and wife," Lu Yan held her hand and smiled, "The most important thing for husband and wife is to sleep together."

Liu Meibao blushed and snorted.

Lu Yan smiled and pulled her to prevent her from leaving.

"....What does it matter where you sleep?" He continued.

Liu Meibao laughed at what he said.

"Okay." She looked at him and nodded, "It's nothing funny, I'm sick now, and if I have a disease, I naturally have to be treated, and there are many strange ways to cure the disease, nothing funny." ”

Lu Yan looked at her.

"Mabel, you know.." He hesitated, and then thought that his wife was already a doctor who knew medicine, and as soon as the doctor said that he would take dodder pills, he estimated that his daughter-in-law would know. Thinking that he was really stupid, he couldn't help but laugh.

"I know, I'm worried." Liu Meibao smiled, and raised her hand to pat his face, "I still learn to hide my illness, and I don't see what your daughter-in-law does." ”

Lu Yan laughed, pulled her into his arms and kissed her, Liu Meibao smiled and hid. After chasing and refusing, Lu Yan was emotional.

"I don't care about making a bed, let's make do with it today." He whispered in a dumb voice, picked up Liu Meibao, who was about to run away when he saw that the situation was not good, and blew out the lights in the house.

Hearing the sound of wheezing and moaning from inside the house, the mother-in-law on duty at night smiled and hurriedly turned around and walked away.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to tell the housekeeper to make a bed quickly." They chuckled.

On the second day, Lu Yan, who was full of food and drink, and was comfortable physically and mentally, took his daughter, son and Lu Fang to the barracks as usual, and as soon as he went out, he saw the housekeeper welcoming the two in.

This is an old man and a young man, and when they saw him come out, they immediately saluted respectfully.

"It's Shopkeeper Feng." Lu Yan recognized it and said. His eyes fell on the young man behind Shopkeeper Feng.

Third Young Master Feng fell for Xiucai three years ago, and he hasn't seen him for so many years. Lu Yan still recognized him at a glance, and looked at this young man of the same age as Liu Meibao, who now looked much more elegant and mature.

Third Young Master Feng saw Lu Yan coming over, he was famous, and he didn't need a big salute, so he gave up his hand and called Lord Sheng.

Lu Yan nodded back.

"This time there is Mrs. Law." Shopkeeper Feng said.

Lu Yan knew that he was comforting a few words, and said that he ordered the government to arrest the drug dealer. Shopkeeper Feng is very grateful.

Lu Yan stood there, hesitating, as if he didn't want to leave.

"Daddy, Daddy, hurry up." Lu Fang stomped his feet and urged. Rou'er in her arms also babbled and waved her arms to urge.

Lu Yan had to leave with a few more polite words, and he was a little absent-minded outside this day, so he simply came back with Rou'er taking a nap.

Liu Meibao was sitting in the room and was reconciling with the housekeeper's wife, and was surprised to see him come back so early.

In the past, Lu Yan did not come back at the yamen at noon, so Liu Meibao put away the account and asked the housekeeper to order the kitchen to add vegetables.

"Shopkeeper Feng is gone?" Lu Yan changed his clothes in the room, looked at Liu Meibao and asked, "Didn't leave any food?" I also said to come back to accompany me. ”

"Ambiguous, how dare you work, Lord Deputy Commander-in-Chief." Liu Meibao said with a smile.

"Where, where is it, it's your customer, for the sake of our family's food and drink, I naturally have to entertain with all my heart." Lu Yan said with a smile, learning the word that Liu Meibao often used.

Liu Meibao smiled and raised her hand to poke his chest, and Lu Yan, who only poked it, was bubbling comfortably.

"Do you have enough money at home?" Lu Yan thought that she was talking about family affairs just now, so she asked casually.

"What, does the chief soldier want pocket money?" Liu Meibao sat on the kang and watched Rou'er crawl around, and asked with a smile.

"It's not." Lu Yan sat down on the other side, blocked the daughter who climbed to the edge of the bed, and smiled at Liu Meibao, "I'm reminding Mrs. that if you don't have any money, stop spending other expenses first, don't forget to make a bed." ”

Liu Meibao knew what he said, smiled and spat out, stretched out her foot to kick him.

was grabbed by Lu Yan and took the opportunity to scratch the palm of his foot, Liu Meibao smiled and dodged on the kang, Rou'er immediately giggled and pounced on it, and rolled with her mother to play together.

The sunlight of March is shining indoors, bright and dazzling.

Lu Yan hurriedly left after eating, Liu Meibao coaxed her daughter to sleep, and she just said to lie down, and the servant woman came in and stopped talking.

"If you have anything to say, there is nothing you can't say in our house." Liu Meibao said.

"Madam, my cousin is here." And the servant woman said.

Liu Meibao's hand holding the tea paused.

"Originally, I wasn't allowed to tell my wife," said the servant.

"There's nothing you can't tell." Liu Meibao smiled and put down the teacup, "Who is here?" ”

"It's just a young grandmother, and it seems that she came by herself, with only a car and a mother-in-law." The servant woman said, "Just crying, saying that as long as you see your wife, you can do it by looking at it, and you can do it without talking." ”

Liu Meibao didn't speak, her hand stroking the teacup.

"I think her spirit is very bad, it's far away, in case something really happens..." The servant woman whispered.

Liu Meibao nodded.

"But no, what's going on, no one's life is easy." She muttered, standing up, "Isn't she going to look at me, then I'll go and show her." ”

The servant woman was a little surprised, and she really didn't even let the door in......but then she lowered her head and answered the way.

Xiao Ling stood on the edge of the gatehouse, only looking at the door leading to the second courtyard, it seemed that a lifetime had passed. When she was about to despair, a woman's figure finally appeared.

She walked slowly, and could see the combed hair of the clothes she was wearing, until she could see her face, and her footsteps stopped.

Xiao Ling looked at her, and seemed to see the girl standing against the door.

"Okay, come and play with me." She said with a smile.

"I'm sorry." Xiao Ling knelt down, choked up, and then kowtowed to the woman who was standing in the distance and no longer came over.

She fell to the ground for a long time. And a servant woman came and helped her.

"Cousin Grandma, get up quickly." She said gently.

Xiao Ling raised his head and saw that Liu Meibao had left at some point.

She didn't want to see her again, and she didn't even want to say a word....

"Cousin young grandmother, Mrs. said, let you go back quickly." The servant helped her up, handed her a handkerchief, and whispered softly, "Madame said that she did not want to do anything to you. I just don't know how to face you, and I don't know what to say to you. So I just don't say anything, I live my life by myself, we can't choose what God gives us, we can follow what we give, no matter whether it's good or bad, we have to continue, and it's up to you to catch it. Whether you cry or laugh, it's all in your own hands, in this world. There is no hurdle that cannot be overcome, as long as you think about it, you will definitely be able to get by. ”

Xiao Ling took the handkerchief of the servant woman, and tears rained down.

"My wife said that she hoped that we could all live a good life of our own, and no one else could help us except ourselves." The servant woman said, bowed to the mullions, and turned away.

When Lu Yan came back, he knew about it, and he was immediately furious, pointing to the housekeeper to sell all the people on the door, which made Liu Meibao know about him and told him.

"I have to know what I should know, I have to face what I should face, I always rely on you, I have to be useless, in case you are not around..."Liu Meibao smiled helplessly and gave him a cup of tea.

"No, no, no." Lu Yan immediately interrupted her and grabbed her hand, "I'll always be by your side." ”

Liu Meibao slapped his hand with a smile.

"Don't say childish things." She smiled and sat down beside him, "I'll go with you when you go on the expedition?" ”

Lu Yan was stunned.

"What? Are you really going to go on the expedition? Liu Meibao noticed his strangeness and asked.

In May of the fourth year of Yongzhen, the emperor who had a few months of stable life was angry again, since last year, the Pingban army defeated Li Changsan and the thieves, defeated its main force, although he did not personally capture Li Changsan, but killed many of his backbones, and since that day, the Pingban army did not return to the court, but tried to pursue Li Changsan, but did not expect that more than half a year had passed, there was no good news, but Li Changsan gathered a large number of troops again and began to besiege Fengshan County.

This Fengshan County is the ancestral hometown of the Great Zhou Emperor, that is, where the legendary dragon vein is located, and it is estimated that this Li Changsan has been instructed by a master and is ready to destroy his royal dragon vein.

When the urgent report was placed in front of the emperor, Lu Yan also saw the same news.

"Fengshan County, Fengshan County." He muttered repeatedly, his eyes sparkling.

Some soldiers had already spread out the map and pointed out the location to Lu Yan.

The location pointed out on the map was located on the side of Huguang, and it was very close from the map, and Lu Yan's teeth couldn't help but creak.

"What lawlessness! Dare to disturb the capital! Lu Yan slammed the table and stood up, "Come on, write an urgent document for eight hundred miles and report it to the imperial court, my Taiyuan reinforcements want King Qin to go on the expedition, and if you don't kill the Li thief, you won't return it." ”

For Lu Yan's decision, everyone disagrees, what disturbance is unforgivable, is it tolerable or unbearable, let alone Zhongdu, everyone in Kyoto has been beaten, what should it be like if it doesn't work?

In the end, the worries are that the barbarian army or the local army are dissatisfied with the taboo of them to grab merit, and then they feel that they should not contribute.

"....I went out this time to find out that there are so many thieves, it's just that those military leaders don't do anything..."

“.. That is, I heard them say that in this world, only soldiers have status, so those soldiers are like treasures in their hands, and they are easily reluctant to let them go and die..."

Hearing these generals talking loudly, the scribes were dumbfounded.

They didn't go out to see for themselves like these soldiers, but they didn't expect that the world outside has become like this, being an official is only for money, being a soldier is only for food, and being a general is only for self-protection, no one is willing to really contribute to the court....

"What are we for?" Lu Yan said suddenly, and the noisy conference hall suddenly fell silent.

"What are we training for?" Lu Yan asked again.

"Defend the country and the family." Everyone reacted and shouted in unison.

Lu Yan didn't speak again, his gaze swept over everyone.

There was no need to discuss this issue again, and the soldiers led the orders in unison, shouting that King Qin would punish the thief, and the scribes were stimulated by the pride of the adults.

What a good man who is loyal and courageous.

Ning Baohua, who had been sitting aside drinking tea and not expressing any opinion, sneered.

What kind of loyalty and courage is just for the sake of his daughter-in-law.

He looked up at the solemn man in the main hall and pouted.

I've seen through him.
