In the second year of Da Ling Tian's grant, the first month has just passed.

In Jingzhou, Emperor Tianzhu was racking his brains for the matter of entering the palace with a calm heart, trying his best to come up with a proper way back for her, the Yun family, and the Zhuang family.

And in the northern Lidu, the former Beixuan Imperial City, Yun Chengzheng and Shen Yu raised a glass to drink together and said their final goodbye.

Outside the window, goose feathers are snowing and thousands of miles of ice. Two thick plums are erected in the courtyard, and the cold plums are in full bloom and the dark fragrance floats.

In the house, a pot of good wine was simmering on the stove, two fox coats were casually placed on the kang, and good wine and good food were placed on the table, steaming hot.

Shen Yu and Yun Cheng sat opposite each other, with a pleasant "pop", and the jade cups struck each other. Then the two drank it all.

After more than a year of training in the north, Shen Yu has become more mature and steady, and there are no vicissitudes on his angular handsome face, but a kind of strength and fortitude that has read all the world. This temperament is no longer the killing of the past, but adds a bit of tranquility and comfort.

Since the collapse of the Marquis of Wenchang's mansion, Shen Yu has been accustomed to life and death, division and integration, and has experienced peace talks between the north and the south and the unification of the world...... After several years of life in the army, the bitter cold of the north and the warmth of the south were just right for him.

This man is getting more and more unusual.

Looking at Yun Cheng again, although he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, he is already a serious Lixin Marquis, and an out-and-out master of the Yun family. Because he was a step-son, and he was young, he was not able to convince the public. Fortunately, his successful recovery of the business of the Northland this time has finally established his prestige in the Yun clan.

Yun Cheng, who is growing up, has a more similar appearance and temperament, a humble and gentle temperament, and a vigorous and resolute approach. Shen Yu saw with his own eyes that he was very safe in all aspects of his conduct in the Northland.

Save it, and there will be successors.

At this moment, at this moment, it is obviously an uncle and nephew getting together, but they teach people to have a false illusion, as if they were a pair of friends many years ago, and time has never fading their affection.

It's just that one is no longer riddled with leg problems, and the other is no longer frivolous.

Suddenly, Shen Yu remembered Chuxiu. I don't know if she will be touched by the scene in front of her when she sees this scene, and she will sigh and cry?

The heavy thoughts suddenly rose, like this overwhelming wind and snow, so that Shen Yu had nowhere to escape. But he understands that "the two have not been in the morning and twilight for a long time", so he doesn't care about the remaining year and a half. He's been waiting for him for ten years.

Shen Yu was meditating on his own, but when he saw Yun Chengzhi smiling, he said, "I thought I could return to Fangzhou before the New Year, but I still delayed it." Fortunately, I have Uncle Shen to accompany me for the New Year. ”

"It's not me with you, it's you with me." Shen Yu sighed with emotion, and sighed with a smile: "The north is bitterly cold, and I am alone, if you don't stay with you, this day is cold, and I am really lonely." ”

Yun Cheng rubbed his hands and said angrily: "I lived in Minzhou when I was a child, and it wasn't so cold in winter. Maybe I've been in Yanlan City for a long time, and my body is not very cold-resistant. ”

"I wasn't used to it at first. But the first time I saw snow last year, it was really beautiful. Shen Yuyuan looked out the window, the thin layer of cold blocked his vision, and he could only vaguely see the white expanse outside: "In the blink of an eye, I have been reorganizing the army in the north for a year." ”

"You can reorganize the armies of five states in a year and bring them into order, which is pretty fast." Yun Cheng gave a heartfelt thumbs up.

"When did you learn to be polite?" Shen Yu turned to look at Yun Cheng and smiled back: "You can recover the business in the north in just a few months, and you can also govern the clansmen well, and your progress is not slow." ”

After saying that, he suddenly felt sad again, and his expression darkened: "Your father must be very pleased with the spirit of the heavens." ”

Yun Cheng saw Shen Yu mention Yun Ci, and he didn't know how to answer, especially when he was about to return to Fangzhou, which made this parting moment even more sad.

After thinking about it, he could only say modestly: "I am only in charge of the clansmen and business in the Northland, but you are in charge of the armies of the five states. Those generals are all from the horses and arrogant, and you must have put a lot of effort into subduing them. ”

Shen Yu's expression was as usual, he lowered his head and ate a mouthful of food, but did not reply.

Yun Chenghu remembered the days before, Shen Yu went in and out of Yunfu to teach himself the art of riding and archery. It is undeniable that he misses those days very much: "If you really want to talk about it, I am still taught by you when I learn martial arts." At that time, I was young, and I always wanted to surpass you one day, but now I can only work on my plan. ”

"Everyone has their own strengths, I am just a martial artist, you are both civil and military, and you know the way of doing business." Shen Yu took another drink and replied.

"Who said you were a martial artist? You're still a close disciple of the Divine Doctor! Yun Cheng suddenly straightened up and praised again: "The eldest husband is a real hero when he goes out on the battlefield." And I've heard, how many times have you swept up here? ”

Speaking of the experience of sweeping away the rogues, Shen Yu finally got rid of his gloomy look and replied solemnly: "At the beginning of the reunification of the north and the south, there were always some people who did not do their best to take advantage of the chaos...... When the Holy God sent me to reorganize the army, he also instructed that there should be no mercy on those who speculated. ”

Yun Cheng sighed again when he heard this: "I really envy my uncle for going into battle to kill the enemy, and he is powerful in all directions." I've heard a saying - 'I don't know the emperor of heaven, only the marquis of Weiyuan'. ”

With a "snap", Shen Yu put down the wine glass and asked with a calm face: "Where did you hear it?" Is this to trap me in unfaithfulness and unrighteousness? ”

Hearing this, Yun Cheng immediately waved his hand and said, "When I came to recover the business, the clansmen said so!" I heard that the five states of the Northland have spread the word! ”

At this point, he also remembered the consequences of this rumor, and hurriedly reassured: "Don't worry, uncle, this is all for fun." However, it also shows that you have a high prestige and are loved in the Northland. ”

"In recent years, there have been frequent wars in the north, and the people like to dance with knives and guns, so they have more respect for military attachés." Shen Yu explained.

Yun Cheng immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes! The northerners love martial arts, and the southerners value literature. ”

Shen Yu smiled again: "Don't talk about this, you are about to leave for the south tomorrow, and you will have a few drinks with me today." ”

"Isn't it time for you to go back again?" Although Yun Cheng said this, he still filled the cup and drank with Shen Yu.

"Well, I'm going to take the generals of the states back to face the saint, and the pace will naturally be slower." Shen Yu suddenly paused and said frankly: "When I return to Jingzhou this time, I plan to resign and step down." ”

"Resigned? So suddenly? Yun Cheng frowned: "Mother, does she know?" ”

"She should be able to guess." Xu was because of a few glasses of strong wine in his stomach, or because he mentioned Chu Xiu, Shen Yu's face suddenly glowed with a strong look, and his tone was also very excited: "We said that we would give each other three years." Now that you have married and had children, and I have revived the lintel, I have a big deal on my mind, and you can leave with confidence. ”

As early as when Yun Cheng first arrived in the Northland, Shen Yu had heard him talk about the recent situation in Yun Mansion: Zhuang Yiran was pregnant, Yun Xiangrong attempted to kill with a knife, and Nie Peixiao was about to marry the Xie family......

Later, the Yun family's secret guard came with several news one after another: Ming Ying was crazy, Empress Dowager Ye hanged herself, and she entered the palace as a concubine with a low heart......

This pile can make Shen Yu's heart light-

Yun Xiangrong is so vicious, he doesn't have to feel sorry for this wife anymore;

Nie Peixiao married another beautiful woman and was the niece and granddaughter of Mrs. Xie, so she would no longer entangle Han Chu;

Zhuang Yiran is pregnant, and the Yunfu is just around the corner;

Yun Cheng successfully recovered the clans and businesses in the Northland, and the Yun clan was also more stable because of his indifference to the palace;

Empress Dowager Ye "hanged" herself, and all the power in the court fell into the hands of the emperor......

If the general trend is unified, Han Chu has relieved the burden of the Yun family. Even the archway of chastity was inscribed to Mrs. Xie, and there was no shackles on her body......

If you don't leave now, when will you stay?

Sure enough, it's been three years! Counting the days when he returned to Jingzhou and resigned from office, three years is just enough.

The more Shen Yu thought about it, the more he looked forward to it, and he couldn't help but start planning for the days ahead. And the moment when the dream came true, it was so unreal, he was afraid that it was just a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, short and fragile.

Yun Cheng saw Shen Yu's complicated expression, looking forward for a while, frowning for a while, worrying for a while, and suspicious for a while, so he couldn't help but joke with him: "Uncle galloped bravely and invincible on the battlefield, but as soon as he met his mother, he turned into a hundred steels. ”

When ordinary men heard this, they were afraid that they would retort a few words with their face, but Shen Yu was calm for a while, not only calm, but also happy: "There is such a woman in the world, who can make you steel, and can make you dignified and tender, which is a great luck in life." ”

Shen Yu picked up the wine jug as he spoke, and divided the remaining wine equally among Yun Cheng. His expression when he poured the wine was serious and restrained, and he was like the little Marquis Shen who had been released in the past. The whole line of the face is both resolute and soft, like a rolling mountain, towering into the clouds and awe-inspiring.

"I've always been grateful to God for letting me know your parents." Shen Yu looked at Yun Cheng, instructed him as an elder, and said word by word: "Don't live up to their expectations." ”

"Uncle don't worry, nephew understands." Yun Cheng gave up his hand to Shen Yu, drank the last cup happily, and instructed him in turn: "Although my mother is only seven or eight years older than me, I am very taught by her...... She is still very young, and her uncle must take care of her. ”

"Do you still need to say this?!" Shen Yu smiled, his handsome face was full of confidence and firmness: "She will be very happy to get the blessing of you and Mrs. Tai." ”

"Then when I go back to Yanlan City this time, I have to tell my mother the bottom first, so that she can prepare first." Yun Cheng quipped again: "Lest you suddenly resign and kill you, and your mother will be caught off guard." ”

In fact, there is another sentence that Yun Cheng did not say. He believes that Shen Yu's resignation is at the right time. Otherwise, with Shen Yu's current prestige in the Northland, he will definitely be jealous of Emperor Tianzhu in the future. It's better to resign and go into hiding now, but it's a way to live.

What's more, Shen Yu did not go into hiding alone, but took his heir out of Xiu. The two of them will be married to the gods in the future, and it is indeed a good ending.

Yun Cheng sincerely agreed with this decision, looked at the sky outside the window, and said, "It's not early, I have to go back and pack up." When will my uncle leave for Jingzhou? Remember to give me a letter then. ”

"I'm still waiting for the decree, as soon as the end of February, or as soon as the beginning of April." Shen Yu thought for a while, and then said: "You leave a way to contact the Yun Clan's secret guard, and as soon as there is news from my side, I will let Qingyi send a letter over." ”

"Okay." Yun Cheng got up from the front of the case, put the fox fur on his body, and finally smiled: "It's freezing outside, don't send it uncle." I'm waiting for your news in Yanlan City. ”
