Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

Seeing Mama Li open the curtain and walk in, Pan'er couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, she was very puzzled in her heart, straightened her waist, and asked directly:

"Why did Mama Li come over today?"

Even if she was very displeased with Pan'er, Mama Li didn't dare to show anything in front of her, after all, she was just a grandmother waiting by the old lady's side, and she was just a slave if she said something ugly.

"Madam, Princess Yining sent an invitation to our house, and the old lady has already accepted it, thinking about going over with you in three days......"

Luan Yu also entered the house at this moment, the little girl's face was tense, her hands clenched her fists, and she was obviously a little angry.

Sweeping the invitation card she was holding in her hand, Pan'er already understood in her heart, and said as if it was true or false: "Look at my belly, it's been more than seven months, where can I go to the plum banquet?" Isn't this causing trouble for Princess Yining? ”

Mama Li said: "Madame's words can be seen, it is better to have an old lady to accompany you to the past, it is better than a person to visit the door, how to say that Princess Yining also came to the border city for the general, if you refute the face of others, it is inevitably a little inappropriate." ”

Thinking of Princess Yining's thoughts about Chu Liang, Pan'er felt even more embarrassed, but she couldn't say this in front of Mama Li, otherwise this old pious woman might not know how to arrange her.

"Well, it's okay to go once."

Pan'er really didn't want to talk nonsense with Mama Li, and her head was throbbing and hurting at the moment, probably because the cool breeze was blowing before.

Waving his hand to send people out, Pan'er leaned on the soft couch, holding a soup woman in her hand, and there was no trace of a smile on her round little face.

When Mama Li left the master bedroom, Luan Yu pouted and said angrily:

"The old lady doesn't know what to think, she herself is willing to be close to Princess Yining, why do she have to take you with her? Princess Yining too, knowing that you have a big belly, you have to invite people to enjoy the plum blossoms, the plum blossoms in the border city are sparse, the buds are small and there is no fragrance, and I don't know what to appreciate, it's really hypocritical! ”

Pan'er snorted: "You maid have to be careful when you speak, after all, she is a princess, and she may have to 'sacrifice her life for the country' in the future, and the leader of the Huns, we can't humiliate her." ”

Hearing this, Luan Yu closed her mouth, and there was obvious resentment in her eyes, but fortunately she didn't say anything more.

After getting some silver from the capital, Pan'er directly handed over the silver money to Luan Yu and asked her to go to the outskirts of the city to buy a house, which is not required to be elaborate and exquisite, as long as the place is spacious enough, it is best to house those lonely children.

There are not many suitable houses, although the land in the border city is slightly cheaper than in Beijing, but it is also expensive, and the silver money that Pan'er has accumulated over the years has been used to buy military salaries, and at this moment, it is not easy to save some more, all of which are spent on the Salesian Bureau.

It is also thanks to the good business of Rong'an Fang, even if it is a cold day now, there are people queuing up at the door of the shop every day, just to buy some pickles with excellent taste, and they have made a lot of money for such a long time.

There are not many fresh vegetables in winter, most people are not proficient in cooking, every day is to chop the vegetable leaves and put them in the pot to boil, add some salt, in addition to other condiments, some people do not even add oil and water, the taste is very bland.

And the pickles of Rong'an Fang put a lot of dogwood and aged vinegar when pickling, sour and spicy, and there is a lot of spiritual spring water in it, which naturally makes people want to eat a meal and want to eat, and they can't forget it for a long time.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was the day of the plum feast.

As soon as the sky was bright, a little maid ran to Pan'er's door and knocked vigorously, and said, "Madam, I have to visit Princess Yining today, you have to get up quickly." ”

The woman lying on the side of the bed heard the disturbing movement in her ears, and her slender white hand pulled the brocade quilt, covered her head and face, and continued to fall asleep regardless of it. The man beside him felt shallow, and when he heard the words of Princess Yining, his thick black sword eyebrows couldn't help but twist, and his face became a little serious.

It was cold outside, but it was very warm inside, Chu Liang was afraid that his little daughter-in-law would be stuffy, so he lifted a corner of the brocade with his big palm, and saw Pan'er's whole person shrunk into a ball, sleeping fragrantly, and her ruddy little mouth was a little wet.

The rough fingertips rubbed the corners of her lips, feeling the soft and delicate touch, Chu Liang's breath couldn't help but stagnate, and he shook his head with a wry smile on his face.

Counting the days, the little daughter-in-law will have to give birth for more than two months, plus the kung fu of confinement, no matter how you say it, you have to wait for more than three months before he can completely eat the little daughter-in-law into her stomach and be happy.

The knock on the door never stopped, Chu Liangxin felt a little depressed, put on his coat and walked directly to the door, his eagle eyes were like copper bells, staring at the little maid beside Ling.

The little maid was brought back from the capital by the Ling family, so she naturally knew how brave General Dingbei was, with the blood of countless people on her hands, killing people was like chopping vegetables and cutting melons, like this kind of evil star, where did she provoke it?

Hurriedly blessed the body and said: "General, the old lady asked the slave maid to call ......"

Chu Liang didn't want to embarrass the little girl, and said lightly: "Come back in half an hour." ”

Mama Li's hideous face came to mind, and the little girl couldn't help but shudder, unable to speak for a long time.

Chu Liang didn't care about her, with a squeak, the carved wooden door was closed by the man, and there was not even a slit.

After staring at the door panel for a while, the little maid really didn't have the courage to continue calling the door, turned her head and ran towards the Ling family's courtyard.

As soon as she went back, Mama Li blocked the little maid and asked, "Madame, are you up?" ”

Shrinking her neck, the little maid said: "Not yet, the general didn't let the slave call the door, saying that he would wait for another half an hour." ”

As soon as she heard this, Mama Li's heart hurt so much, she really couldn't understand what was wrong with Lin Paner's woman, who could charm the general into such virtue, and she couldn't even take care of her own mother.

For Lin Paner, the general doesn't know how many times he has contradicted the old lady over the years, again and again, even she, a slave, can't stand it, and it's really a hero who is sad to pass the beauty pass.

muttered a few words secretly, and Mama Li carried a copper basin filled with hot water and went directly into the master bedroom, waiting for Ling's to wash.

Since she contracted the wind cold, although Ling's body has recuperated, her spirit is a little weak, but whenever the movement outside the house is a little bigger, she will be awakened.

Rubbing his sore temples with his fingertips, Ling said, "Did Lin Pan'er get up?" ”

Mama Li didn't dare to hide it, and shook her head honestly.

Ling had already guessed that this was the result, but she still couldn't help but hold her breath in her heart, grabbed the soft pillow on the bed, and threw it on the ground, she couldn't help but scold: "It's really a person who doesn't understand the rules, thinking that it's great if you have a piece of meat in your stomach?" Not only did he occupy Ah Liang and prevent him from taking a concubine, but now he is working with me, a mother-in-law, and I don't even know the most basic morning and dusk provinces, a village woman is a village woman! ”

Hurriedly brought the tea soup for gargling, and Mama Li said with a shy face:

"Don't be angry, the old lady is so arrogant now, it's because the general is spoiled, but the man, no matter how honest he is on the surface, he has a pair of flowery intestines inside, even if he looks at the lady's skin, it will fade in a few years, the old slave really doesn't believe it, this woman in her twenties can be compared to a little girl of fifteen or sixteen......"

Although this was not to be heard, it was also to the point, and the depression in Ling's heart dissipated a little, and he rinsed his mouth, and then stepped on his little boots and went to the ground.

After another half an hour, Pan'er woke up in a daze, and when she opened her eyes, Chu Liang was leaning against the head of the bed, staring at her with a pair of eagle eyes.

"See what I'm doing?" The little daughter-in-law yawned.

The two have been married for a long time, even if Pan'er was shy at first, at this moment, they are already very familiar with each other's bodies, and they can't help but glance at him.

"Just now, the maid next to my mother came to knock on the door, and I drove her back."

Chu Liang said casually, reached out and pinched the soft cheeks of his little daughter-in-law, only to feel that he had raised a girl, and he was very squeamish.

Luan Yu, who was outside, heard the movement and hurriedly came over to serve, Pan'er washed her face, and while applying the cream, she turned her head and said, "Tell you to rub something on your face, but don't forget." ”

Chu Liang made a straight face: "I'm a big man, what's the use of wiping those things?" chirping. ”

Glaring back at Chu Liang, Pan'er snorted angrily: "It's just you, okay?" ”

Most of the fat powder used in women's grooming and dressing up is mixed with lead powder, so Pan'er is covered in skin and flesh to make the spiritual spring water even white and delicate, almost not even a pore can be seen, but there is no need to spend so much effort to comb, just pull up the black hair in a bun, and apply some saliva on the mouth, just like a delicate peony flower, the color is compelling.

It is estimated that there is nothing to eat in the plum banquet, Pan'er drank a bowl of rouge rice porridge in the morning, in addition to Yutian rouge rice, red beans, barley, black beans and other things were added to the porridge, which has been boiled on the stove since last night, and the rice soup is twisted with a layer of oily skin, and drunk into the stomach bag, only to feel a warmth rise all over the body.

The man walked up to his little daughter-in-law from behind, pressed his big palm on the woman's shoulder, and kneaded it lightly and heavily.

"Where will I go to Princess Yining later, you must not let Luan Yu leave, can you remember?"

Princess Yining grew up in the forbidden palace, there were a lot of princes and princesses under the knees of the first emperor, when the new emperor had not ascended the throne, this princess was not conspicuous, I don't know how many pickling methods I learned in the palace, as long as I thought of the woman put those thoughts on the little daughter-in-law, Chu Liang's chest set off a monstrous anger, and I couldn't wait to remove Princess Yining's skin and bones, so as to be happy.

"I know what I know."

Xiaozui muttered, Pan'er had almost eaten, so she took a handkerchief and pressed it on the corner of her mouth.

It just so happened that Mama Li, who was beside the Ling family, came over, and saw the young couple sitting at a table for dinner, she secretly hated it in her heart, but she squeezed out a smile on her face, and asked Chu Liang to say goodbye, and then said to Pan'er: "Madam, the carriage is waiting outside." ”

After a sigh, Pan'er got up and walked out, Luan Yu followed behind her step by step, her eyes were very alert, for fear of making a mistake.

When Pan'er stepped on the small pestle and reached out to open the curtain, she found that Ling was already sitting firmly on the cushion.

Seeing her come up, Ling didn't even glance at her, closed his eyes and recuperated, obviously not wanting to care.

Seeing this scene, Pan'er was also a little crying and laughing, obviously the Ling family had to drag her to some plum banquet, but at this moment, she didn't want to pay attention to herself, and she didn't know what she was thinking in her heart.

The carriage creaked along, and she pushed the sash open a slit, and the cold wind blew in.

Since she was heavy, Pan'er has gone out a lot less often, looking at the bustling crowd on the street, a smile appeared on the corner of the little woman's mouth.

After tossing and turning on the road for half an hour, I arrived at the house where Princess Yining lived.

Luan Yu helped Pan'er to walk inside, and as soon as she entered the gate, many maids came to greet her, after all, most of the husbands and wives of the ladies in the border city were military generals, and they had military power in their hands, so they couldn't be offended.

Pan'er also swept a few familiar faces, after all, since he came here, he has been living in the county guard's mansion, although not many people came to disturb him, but he looked down and didn't see him when he looked up, and he could also mix familiar faces.

Everyone was brought into the main hall, and as soon as Pan'er sat down, a coquettish voice came from her ears: "Aunt, sister-in-law." ”

raised his head and saw Ling Yueniang's slightly emaciated face appear in front of him, the corners of Pan'er's mouth were pursed, and she didn't say a word.

Instead, the Ling family affectionately took Ling Yueniang's hand and asked her to sit beside her, just separating Pan'er.

The aunt and nephew hadn't seen each other for a few days, and the Ling family was worried about this niece in their hearts, for fear that Ling Yueniang's body would not be well after the miscarriage, so she lowered her voice and asked for warmth, and the concern in her eyes couldn't be hidden.

As for the identity of the Ling family, the female relatives present all knew in their hearts, and some of them who were good at drilling camps came over and said hello with a smile, seeing that the Ling family was very affectionate to a young and beautiful woman, they couldn't help but ask.

"This girl is really Peugeot, I don't know which lady it is?"

Ling Shi smiled on his face and said modestly: "This is my maiden niece's daughter, how can there be anything marked?" It's just a middle-class person."

Although he said this, Ling's eyes showed an unconcealed closeness, and the lady who asked saw this, her heart was like a mirror, knowing that this nephew had a very deep relationship with Ling, and if she could ask for her son, she would have a relationship with the Dingbei Hou Mansion.

Seeing that these women were rushing up to offer courtesy to Ling Yueniang one by one, and the words were full of the meaning of marriage, Pan'er pursed her lips and smiled.

A stereotyped lady furrowed her eyebrows, and her tone was not very good.

"I wonder what the general's wife is laughing at? Can you tell the big guys? ”

Pan'er lifted the tea lid and gently blew away the water vapor on her head, her moist eyes were full of ridicule, and she said casually:

"Your ladies have been praising Cousin Yueniang, and I, as a cousin, am naturally happy for her."

I don't think there's anything wrong with that, but when I think about it, there's something wrong.

Sure enough, Ling Yueniang's eyes turned red and she said aggrievedly:

"Cousin-in-law, it's all the moon mother who is not good, I made you angry before, I hope you can forgive me once."

Ling Yueniang's appearance is not bad, she is already weak, and because of the miscarriage, the whole person has become thin into a piece of paper, and the slender appearance makes people can't help but feel pity. Today, Ling Yueniang is also deliberately dressed up, wearing a lake-blue jacket, with a snow fox fur without a single miscellaneous hair, and a thin powder on her face, which can be called beautiful and supple.

Pan'er pretended to be surprised, her red lips opened lightly, and she wondered: "What did Sister Yueniang say?" How come I can't remember when you me off? You are thoughtful, and I am a big grinning person, if you do something wrong, just mention it. ”

Seeing Lin Pan'er's "generous" appearance, Ling Yueniang couldn't vomit a mouthful of old blood, her fingertips trembled slightly, and she couldn't laugh, but for the sake of her marriage, Ling Yueniang didn't dare to lose her temper at all.

"Maybe I'm wrong, cousin-in-law, don't take it to heart."

Pan'er blinked, waved her hand and said:

"Don't worry, I have a lot of adults, so naturally I won't worry about these little things."

Without looking at the face of Ling's aunt and nephew Tie Qing, Pan'er glanced at the door, and the modern clan walked in, and couldn't help but show a sincere smile on his face.

"Sister Dai!"

Hearing Pan'er's movement, Dai Shi fixed his eyes, quickened his pace and walked over, and sat directly on the vacant seat beside her.

Touching Pan'er's round belly, Dai smiled and said, "Your child is really good." ”

"Okay? Didn't you see that my whole body was almost out of shape? It wasn't like this when I was pregnant with Xiaobao before, but the second child ate more, which was really uncomfortable. ”

Pan'er hummed weakly, not noticing that Ling Yueniang's eyes were slightly lit up when she was sitting beside her.

Eyes swept from Dai's body without a trace, Ling Yueniang remembered that Dai's was the wife of the country's uncle, and after being married for so many years, there was not even a son and a half daughter left by the Zhai family, if she could marry Zhai Heng, and then let Zhai Heng divorce his wife, and become the sister-in-law of the queen of the dynasty, wouldn't it be beautiful?

Thinking so in her heart, Ling Yueniang still had a gentle look on her face, and others couldn't guess what kind of thoughts were born under this woman's delicate skin.

The seats in the main hall were almost filled, and it wasn't long before Princess Yining came.

His eyes swept over the female dependents, and when he saw Lin Pan'er with his belly towering high, Princess Yining clenched her silver teeth, and she hated her very much, if it weren't for this shameless village woman, Chu Liang would have become a concubine a long time ago, how could she force herself to kiss in cold blood?

Glancing at the old lady beside her, the old pious woman understood what the princess meant, and hurriedly walked out, found a little eunuch, and said:

"Hurry up and go to Yunlailou to send a letter to General Bei, and tell him that the general's wife just fell and her stomach hurts badly."

The little eunuch glared, where did he dare to disobey the old lady's orders, responded respectfully, and ran out.

At this time on weekdays, Chu Liang was supposed to stay in the barracks, but today was different, after the little daughter-in-law got into the carriage and left, this person went directly to Yunlai Tower. Princess Yining had already sent people to watch at the county guard's mansion, so she naturally knew where the man went.

In the past few days, Agutai entered the border city and heard that Yunlailou was the best restaurant in the city, so he stayed here.

Led the guards into the private room of Yunlai Building, and as soon as Chu Liang pushed the door open, he saw Agutai and Zhai Heng sitting at the table.

These two people are both deaf and clear-sighted, and after hearing the movement, Qi Qi turned his head to look at Chu Liang, and said with a smile: "General Dingbei is beautiful in his arms, and it is a little late to come today." ”

In the face of Agutai's ridicule, Chu Liang's face remained unchanged and said:

"The leader's beauty is not shallow, Princess Yining has a delicate appearance and extraordinary bearing, which is very compatible with the leader."

Chu Liang's words are really against his will, not mentioning Agutai's identity, just talking about this person, he can wipe out all the tribes on the grassland, it can be seen that he has real skills, and Princess Yining is just a woman with long hair and short knowledge, bullying others, except for her identity, there is nothing to stand out.

Even so, Chu Liang had to talk nonsense with his eyes open.

Agutai picked up his glass and smiled.

"You Han people will really enjoy it, the snow lotus wine in this restaurant is indeed a rare and rare thing, even if it is sold for a high price of one or two silver cups, but the taste is extremely beautiful."

Not only did it taste excellent, but after Agutai drank the wine into his stomach, he only felt that his whole body was very hot.

Over the years, he has been busy with wars, and he doesn't know how many injuries he has suffered, even if he relies on medicinal herbs to recuperate, he still has the root of the disease, although there is no major problem at the moment, when Agutai gets older, I am afraid that he will have a short life.

But after drinking this snow lotus wine, Agutai only felt that his whole body was full of qi and blood, and the secret injuries he had suffered before gradually recovered a few points, which made him very surprised, he had to drink snow lotus wine three times a day, and one time was as much as a pot, thanks to the fact that the men on the grassland drank a lot of wine, otherwise where could they sit in front of Chu Liang and Zhai Heng without blushing and panting?

Zhai Heng smiled, Dai's ruddy face appeared in his mind, and he also agreed with Agutai's words.

As early as when he was in the capital, Zhai Heng heard that the dignified general Dingbei married a little-known little nurse, and he was still a little puzzled at that time, just thinking that Chu Liang was the same as Shi Jin, who was dazzled by beauty, but when he came back to the border city, Zhai Heng couldn't help but overturn his previous views and looked at Lin Paner with admiration.

Swallowing the clarified wine in the cup in one gulp, the corners of Agutai's mouth hooked up a wicked smile, and he said slowly: "It's okay to negotiate peace, but this is a ...... candidate for harmony."

Chu Liang stared at Agutai, his brows slowly furrowed.

"I don't want Princess Yining."

Putting the wine glass in his hand on the table, Chu Liang was very surprised and asked:

"As the leader, he is very compatible with Princess Yining, why don't you want to?"

Agutai thought of Jin Ling's appearance, knuckles tapped on the table, and said with a smile: "My Khan concubine has already been chosen." ”

"Even if the leader marries Princess Yining, he can marry another side concubine, why refuse this god-sent relationship?"

Agutai said: "The woman of your great cause is small-minded, and she doesn't like her husband and concubine, I will bring people outside the border, and I can't wronged her." ”
