"Grandmother, look, it's grandfather." Cen Ziman looked into the distance and shouted loudly.

Walking at the forefront of the large army were naturally Cen Yi and Zhang Dali, several major generals. Seeing Cen Yi wearing bright armor, burly and upright, heroic and extraordinary, even if the Cen family was used to Cen Yi coming like this every few years, they were still excited, and kept waving their hands over there.

There was no son to be seen in the group, and Mrs. Luo was depressed. She felt that her son was a man, and now he gave up his military career and took the initiative to go to the border to fight, no matter how he was, he should be quickly promoted and become a senior general.

Now her son is not seen among the senior generals in front.

Seeing Mrs. Luo's depressed face, Cen Ziman pursed her lips.

Which general has not been on the battlefield several times, fought bloody battles, and will be promoted step by step if he has outstanding meritorious service? Luo Qian wants to be a senior general as soon as he goes to the border, and only an ignorant woman like Mrs. Luo dares to think about it.

Seeing Cen Yi and the others gradually approaching, everyone put their eyes behind.

"Ah, it's Ah Jin, it's Ah Jin. It was Ah Jin's carriage, the same carriage that Ah Jin rode in before he set off. Seeing the two familiar carriages following behind, Cen Ziman shouted excitedly again. The shouting was even more exciting than when he saw Cen Yi just now.

Her grandfather was the commander and the general of Zhenguo, and he was always at the forefront, so she was only happy to see her grandfather, not surprised. But Xia Jin's carriage followed behind Cen Yi and the others, and this honor is not something that anyone can have.

Shu Shi had already been blinded by tears, and covered his mouth for fear that he would cry.

Her daughter finally came back safely, and she also made a great contribution.

She ...... How did she get here? Mrs. Luo looked at Xia Jin's carriage in disbelief. Asked Cen Ziman, "You read that right?" Maybe it's the carriage that the princess of Beiliang Kingdom is riding? ”

Beiliang was defeated, and Princess Beiliang entered Beijing as a concubine, and this news entered Beijing with the good news, and everyone knows it. So in addition to those who greeted their sons and relatives who went to the border to fight, a large number of people also came, all of whom came to watch the honor guard of Princess Beiliang.

And the news of Xia Jin's meritorious service. Because there is no reward yet. The people don't know much. But the ministers and nobles of the DPRK and China basically know about it. It's just that Mrs. Luo didn't come out to walk around because she was hiding from the Zheng family or relatives of the Zheng family, and the Cen family got the orders of the Xiao family. did not mention this matter in front of her, so Mrs. Luo did not know about Xia Jin's meritorious service.

Of course, even if you know. In her heart, Xia Jin's credit is not as great as her son's. No matter how she is, she should not walk behind the senior generals, in front of her son.

Cen Ziman won't give her face. Hearing this, he laughed "sneering" and raised his voice: "Ah Jin not only cured the epidemic that spread among the army. During the war, he used superb medical skills to rescue a large number of seriously injured soldiers, and also made a medicine, so that our Great Zhou could easily achieve victory. Finally, he challenged Princess Beiliang. forced her to come to Beijing as a concubine. Such a great achievement that my grandfather had to retreat. Her carriage went second. Why not? ”

"What?" Mrs. Luo's eyes widened and she looked at Cen Ziman in a daze, as if she wanted to see a hint of a joking expression on her face.

However, Mrs. Xuanpinghou's words broke her only remaining luck mentality: "Sister Man is right, Sister Jin has made great contributions in this war. The emperor originally planned to come out to greet this great hero, but because he didn't want Princess Beiliang to think about it, he stayed in the palace. ”

Mrs. Luo was half-open, speechless for a long time.

Xia Jin is already the granddaughter of the Shao family, and her identity is already very noble. Now that she has made a great contribution and received a reward, I don't know how much glory it will bring to her mother's family and her husband's family. It is estimated that tomorrow, the matchmaker who said that she was close will step through the door of the Shao family.

But this girl should have been her daughter-in-law!

Together, she suddenly became excited again.

Xia Jin and Luo Qian already have a relationship, and this time both of them stayed at the border, and they will definitely have a new love for each other. Maybe this Xia Jin, who has made great contributions, will come to her tomorrow to serve tea.

Thinking about it like a chicken, she suddenly became energetic.

Seeing that Mrs. Luo suddenly looked radiant, Cen Ziman didn't understand what she was thinking, and muttered: "Inexplicable." He turned his head out the window.

But when Old Madam Shao saw this, her heart suddenly lifted.

Although Su Muxian had chased Xia Jin to the border pass, and Xia Jin also expressed his attitude in Beijing, saying that he didn't want to marry Luo Qian, but who knows about the matter between young people? If you want to come to Xia Jin yourself, you may not be able to know your next decision. If she rekindles her old relationship with Luo Qian, will the Shao family really have such an unobtrusive mother as Mrs. Luo?

Thinking of this, a trace of depression welled up in her heart.

"Look, the chariot of the princess of the Northern Liang Kingdom."

Xia Jin's carriage and the twenty guards who escorted her back and forth passed, followed by a carriage that was more ornate and wider than Xia Jin's. Judging from the exotic decorations and the deep-eyed and high-nosed Beiliang people walking behind the carriage, it goes without saying that this is the chariot of Princess Aina of Beiliang.

"These people really don't look like the people we have here. I don't know if Princess Beiliang in the car is like this. One of Xia Jin's sisters-in-law said.

Everyone put aside the topic of Xia Jin and talked about the appearance and customs of the Beiliang people.

As everyone knows, Chesar, who was being talked about by everyone and following behind the chariot on horseback, was depressed at this time. Gain Ayina has been out of the Northern Liang Territory since she hit the boundary of the Northern Liang Land, and when she entered the territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom, she vomited and fell ill, and after Xia Langzhong, the divine doctor of the Great Zhou Kingdom, prescribed a few doses of medicine, although she got better, she still had seizures from time to time. At this time, lying in the chariot, the exotic beauty Ayina who was expected by everyone, was thin into a skeleton. I am afraid that I will scare the people of Da Zhou when I come out, and the whole one-meter red skeleton.

Such an Ayina is afraid that she can't even have a round house, let alone be favored by the Emperor of the Great Zhou, and then give birth to a prince and put the prince on the throne, thus turning the Great Zhou Kingdom into the backyard of the Northern Liang Kingdom.

This made Cessar very melancholy.

After Aina's chariot, it was the imperial doctors headed by Li Xuanming who were sent by the emperor. It's just that at this time, Li Xuanming and Zhou Yizhi's situation is similar to Ayina. Described as withered, he looked very haggard, and he couldn't sit on the horse at all, Cen Yi couldn't. I had to find a carriage on the way to carry them back. However, because Meng Xia surrendered to Xia Jin, after returning to the capital, he testified against Li Xuanming and Zhou Yizhi as witnesses, and was not drugged by the girl of Calamus, which can be regarded as picking off this responsibility.

"It's coming, it's my brother." Mrs. Luo pointed to the group of middle-level generals behind the imperial doctor and shouted.

After all, Mrs. Luo is a guest of the Cen Mansion, and her temperament is no longer likable. Old lady Xuanping waited for her mother's face. It's not good to treat her coldly.

Seeing this at this time, she smiled and said, "Brother Qian'er will definitely be received by the emperor when he comes back this time." I see that a great future is just around the corner. And you will be blessed. ”

When Mrs. Luo heard this, she smiled and said proudly: "That's." My brother Qian took the initiative to ask for war this time as a lifter. If everyone in the world can be like my brother Qian, why isn't the world peaceful? His deeds. If you can get into the eyes of the emperor, it would be great. ”

These words are very good at calming the old lady's heart.

She patted Mrs. Luo's hand and sighed, "It's great that you can understand things so well." ”

After Luo Qian and others. They were followed by soldiers who lived in the capital - the capital could not accommodate so many soldiers, and it was not safe for the army to enter the city, so after the army returned. Most of them returned to the camp dozens of miles away from the capital and followed Cen Yi into the city. There are only some who have made meritorious contributions and may be commended by the emperor, and there are those who live in the capital. When returning from the border pass, it is natural to take a period of leave so that the soldiers can reunite with their families.

Therefore, as soon as Luo Qian's team passed, there was no need for the people of the Cen family and the Shao family to stay any longer. Everyone waited for a while, and when the soldiers behind them had passed, they went downstairs and got into the carriage and went home.

As for Cen Yi and Xia Jin, they have to enter the palace and wait for the emperor to summon them to reward them before they can go home.

Although they knew that their relatives had returned safely, everyone was still anxiously waiting at home. But Cen Yi, Xia Jin and the others stayed for a long time as soon as they entered the palace, and when they each went home, it was already an hour later.

"It's back, it's back, the girl is back." Aunt Lu, who was sent by the Shu family to wait at the door, didn't care about saluting, so she rushed directly into a side courtyard next to the hall and shouted to the ladies of the Shao family who were waiting there.

Everyone stood up.

"Does the old lady know about it?" Old Madam Shao asked.

The men of the Shao family were waiting in the main hall.

"Got it. I reported separately from that person in my family. Aunt Lu replied, and then said, "Someone came to the palace to announce the decree, and the old lady asked everyone to go to the hall to receive the decree." ”

Everyone's happy.

Someone in the palace came to announce the decree, and there must be a reward from Xia Jin.

The sisters-in-law whispered: "I don't know if it's the reward or the name." ”

The Yang family was afraid that the people in the third room would be too distracted, thinking that the daughters-in-law were jealous of them, so he glared at them and said, "Don't talk, let's leave quickly." ”

When everyone arrived at the hall together, they saw that Shao Heng, the eldest master of the Shao family, had already asked someone to prepare the incense case. Xia Jin was standing in front of Old Lady Shao, Xia Zhengqian, and Shao Hengguo, and was talking to them with a smile.

When Old Lady Shao saw the ladies coming in, she glanced at everyone and said, "Since you are here, kneel down and accept the order." ”

Everyone hurriedly sorted according to their identities and knelt down one by one.

The palace attendant was accompanied by Shao Hengding to drink tea and talk. Seeing that everyone had come, he stood up, unfolded the holy decree, cleared his throat, and read: "Chengtian presents luck, the emperor summons and says: The Shao family has a female Xia Jin, with noble conduct, compassion, deep understanding of righteousness, and excellent medical skills. ”

Lord of Yong'an?

Everyone was shocked, and then overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him and shouted long live.

Sending off the palace attendants, everyone surrounded Xia Jin and said hello to her. Shu Shi looked at her again and again, and saw that although she was dark and thinner, she was in good spirits, and couldn't help but shed tears again.

"Some people say that women are made of water, but I don't believe it yet. When I saw my mother, I believed this. Xia Jin couldn't help but joke about Shu's.

When Shu Shi said this, he burst into tears and laughed, patted Xia Jin lightly, and said angrily: "Your mother, you are also joking, you are really getting more and more capable." ”

"That is, whose girl is as capable as my sister?" Old Madam Shao smiled from ear to ear.

Not only did she find her third son, but she also got a gentle and virtuous daughter-in-law, and she also got a talented grandson and a granddaughter of the county lord, and she can wake up with a smile when she sleeps now.

What's more, the chamberlain who came to the palace just now also said that this time not only gave Xia Jin a county lord, rewarded him with food and the county lord's mansion, but also prepared to restore the official position to Mrs. Shao.

This is completely thanks to Xia Jin's blessing.

Thinking of this, she said to Xia Jin lovingly: "You are tired from a long journey, you go back to the room first and have a good rest." There is a lot of time, and I will talk about it later. ”

It stands to reason that Xia Jin came back from afar to kowtow to Old Lady Shao and Old Lady Shao in the main courtyard, and talk with him for a while, so that he could go back to his own courtyard. But Mrs. Shao has good intentions......

Xia Jin couldn't help but glance at Xia Zhengqian and Shu.

In the little half a year that Xia Jin was at the border, Xia Zhengqian and Shu gradually integrated into the big family of the Shao family. The most important thing is that the Shao family, whether it is a man or a daughter-in-law who marries into the door, is more reasonable, and has a weak temperament, does not love vanity, and does not care about small profits, so the couple stay here very comfortably.

Xia Zhengqian smiled and said, "Grandmother is sympathetic to you, but the etiquette can't be wasted." So, you can kowtow to your grandfather and grandmother here, and then go back to rest. ”

It's the best of both worlds.

Immediately, someone brought the futon, and Xia Jin kowtowed to the second elder, and then followed his parents and brother back to the courtyard of his third room.

As soon as they parted from everyone, Shu Shi couldn't wait to take Xia Jin's hand and asked, "What do you think about your relatives?" ”

"Mother, I haven't even entered the house yet, so you're in a hurry to marry me off?" Xia Jin shook Shu's arm and said coquettishly.

Shu Shi tapped her forehead with his finger: "Aren't you in a hurry?" You have been gone for half a year, and you will be eighteen in the next year. After saying a smile, she said, "If you don't have other ideas, I have a fancy for a person, a classmate who studied with your brother in Guozijian, and is the nephew of Wang Hanlin's family, the aunt of Mrs. Xuanpinghou's family. ”

"Ugh." Xia Jin was speechless.

She had no choice but to say: "In a few days, Master Wu'an will ask someone to propose marriage." Seeing the smile on Shu's face froze, she thought that Shu's hadn't reacted, and explained, "It's the Su Gongzi who sent me to the border." ”

"Alas, Su Gongzi is a good boy. It's just ......" Shu sighed, "his mother, back." (To be continued)
