"Not ordinary?" Wen Yi was puzzled, "Why is it not an ordinary law?" ”

Jiang Yao was about to speak, paused, and suddenly deflated. The man didn't even glance at her out of the corner of his eye, so why did she pay attention to him everywhere? Since he didn't tell Wen Yi his identity, he had his own scruples, so why should she be a villain in vain?

Jiang Yao withdrew her hand and said with some hesitation: "It's nothing, probably because I'm too careful." With a low sigh, he barely smiled, and pulled Wen Yi back to the inner courtyard.

Wen Yi let her pull her away, but doubts arose in her heart.

Originally, she only planned to ask Luo Mingmin for advice because she couldn't make up her mind about the secret letter, and she was afraid that if she ignored the secret letter, she would cause Liu Dongxing to be implicated by Princess Dongping in the future. Originally, my grandmother was also a good person to ask for advice, but when it came to the rebellion between the court and the vassal king, no matter how wise my grandmother was, she was only an old woman in the house, and she had lived in her hometown for many years, and her understanding of the government was limited, so she might not be able to see it accurately, and she was worried about the old man.

In contrast, Luo Mingmin is well-informed, reliable, and an imperial businessman, and knows more about the personnel of the inner court, even if he can't think of a way, he will not leak the news, and it is very easy to help inquire about the safety of Uncle Jiang.

However, Luo Mingmin unexpectedly got involved in this matter, and took the initiative to take over the matter, even taking away the secret letter. Although he said that he would give things to "someone who can take care of this", how did he know such people? The time he spent in the capital was only a year and a half, and the connections of the Mo Feiluo family were really wide to this point, the princely officialdom, the three religions and nine streams, and he knew people everywhere? And Jiang Yao's question was also a little strange, she grew up in the capital, and she is the daughter of an official family, so she naturally knows more about the affairs of officialdom than herself, can she say that she sees something wrong?

Wen Yi was full of doubts in her heart, Jiang Yao was full of worries, and she was worried about her father's safety, both of them lost their interest in laughing, and it didn't take long for Jiang Yao to leave.

On the second day, Wen Yi received a letter from Liu Dongxing back home. It turned out that this time, all the letters from the soldiers in northern Xinjiang were temporarily intercepted, and they were sent out together after the victory of the war after the trap against the enemy army was set up. The letters written by the soldiers who lived in the capital were sent to each household only after the imperial court's decree of reward. Liu Dongxing's grade is not low, and he is a young man who has made great contributions, so his letter was only a day later than that of several high-ranking military officials, and he was sent to his home in Yangliver Hutong.

Wen Yi was overjoyed, and immediately sent someone to report the letter to her grandmother, and sent a rich thank you gift to the sergeant who sent the letter, so that Shu Ping Haosheng could send the person away, so he couldn't wait to open the letter and read it. The moment she saw the familiar handwriting, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Liu Dongxing's letter was written on four or five pieces of paper, and the small characters were densely written, but most of them were asking about Wen Yi's situation at home, as well as Mrs. Lu's physical well-being, and also asked whether Shangshu Mansion and Shilang Mansion were still embarrassing her, and the days would be more difficult after the summer in Beijing, and persuaded Wen Yi to take her grandmother to Zhuangzi to escape the summer, and then said that the letter was delivered slowly, and it was almost autumn when she arrived in the capital, so you must be careful not to catch a cold, the autumn in the capital is much colder than Pingyang...... Yunyun.

After these words were written, Liu Dongxing lightly mentioned his days in northern Xinjiang, except for the dry weather, the diet is a little unaccustomed, there is no hardship, the house where he lives and the beds are all good, much stronger than the average soldier, and there are two small soldiers responsible for his daily life, plus the north is cool, the folk customs are simple, the soldiers are also straightforward, easy to get along with, so his life is very good, so his wife does not have to worry, the only deficiency is that the shoes and garters are less, If it is convenient for Wen Yi, she can ask someone to bring a few more pairs of shoes and socks, and the ones bought outside are far less than those made at home......

The more Wen Yi looked at it, the more sour her heart became, how could she believe that Liu Dongxing's life was really good?

Although she has never been to northern Xinjiang, she has also heard Li Chunxi mention the life there, the weather is dry, the average person walks under the sun for an hour or two, the lips are about to dry and cracked, the wind and sand are big, I washed my face in the morning, went out to pour water, and returned to the house with a layer of ash on my face. The food is mainly baked bread, that thing eats into the mouth, if there is no water, it is difficult to swallow, melons and vegetables do not think about it, there are two or three months in a year, several high-status soldiers may be able to eat some fruit, other times, that is not to think about. There is a lot of meat, but no one can stand eating meat every day without even a little shredded vegetables. Some generals stayed there for so long that they vomited when they came home and smelled meat.

There was a great difference between hot and cold in the day, and even in the summer, at night and in the morning, if one wore only one garment, one would freeze stiff, but at noon, the sun would be so hot that it could dry up. However, it is impossible for the soldiers stationed in the northern Xinjiang to hide in the house all day long, and no one can escape this hardship, even if they are senior generals in the army, and there are soldiers to take care of their daily life, it is impossible to live a comfortable life.

Liu Dongxing didn't write these things down in the letter, but just said lightly that she was not used to eating, the weather was a little dry, and she had less shoes and socks outside, obviously because she didn't want her to worry.

Wen Yi secretly decided to make twenty or thirty pairs of shoes and socks and ask someone to give them to Liu Dongxing. However, although she hopes that Liu Dongxing's clothes, shoes and socks are made by herself, she also knows that she can't do so many things in a short period of time, and she can't wait for Liu Dongxing to wait a little longer, so she still decided to assign this job to the girls and daughters-in-law of the whole family, and she is only responsible for making socks, as well as close-fitting clothes. By the way, medicine must not be missing......

Wen Yi secretly thought about it in her heart, and then continued to read the last content of the letter.

In the last paragraph, about the battle situation in Northern Xinjiang, Liu Dongxing did not mention too much about the details of the battle, only said that he encountered a tricky enemy, and the two encounters caused the man to flee, but he also almost completely defeated the opponent's men and horses. At present, the barbarian army has lost its vitality, but it is unwilling, and it is still stubbornly sneaking up everywhere to add some blockage to the imperial army. But this kind of day will not be too long, the barbarians in the summer when they should recuperate and recuperate, they will spend all their energy on the war, at most they can only last one more autumn, as long as the winter comes, they will face the crisis of running out of food, let alone war, I am afraid that even survival will be a problem. At that time, it will be the best time for the imperial army to eradicate the barbarians.

Liu Dongxing also said that he is now very appreciated by the generals of Northern Xinjiang, and he will definitely be able to get a good position after returning to Beijing, and when the time comes, he will return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and he can add glory to his parents......

Wen Yi's eyes were already hazy, she noticed the wetness on her face, hurriedly put down the letterhead, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, so as not to wet the letterhead with tears and paste the words on it.

She seems to have been able to see the future depicted in Liu Dongxing's letter, so while crying, the corners of her mouth also unconsciously show joy.

Autumn, and at most until winter. And the imperial army in the previous life won a great victory in the autumn and returned to the court. It's only a few months, and it's going to be there soon

Wen Yi wiped away her tears, read the letter again, full of joy, and unintentionally looked up, only to find her grandmother, Mrs. Lu, standing at the door with Shi Nan in her arms, standing at the door, I don't know how long she had been standing, with a faint smile on her face.

Wen Yi's face flushed slightly, and she hurriedly put down the letter and got up to greet her: "When did grandmother come over?" Why don't you call your granddaughter? ”

Mrs. Lu said: "My son-in-law's family letter, naturally, I want you to read it first, what am I anxious about?" Tell my grandmother what was written in the letter. How are you doing on the eastbound journey? ”

"All is well." Wen Yi said with a smile, "It's just that life is harder, and my granddaughter is planning to let the family make more clothes, shoes and socks to send over." There's a good chance he'll be back before the New Year. ”

"That's good." Old Madam Lu also breathed a sigh of relief, "You two young people have just been separated when they got married, if it weren't for the purpose of defending the country and keeping the enemy out of the country, who would want to do such a thing?" When this war is over and the eastward journey returns, he has to find a serious official position and live a peaceful life for a few years. If he wants to go back to the north again, his grandmother will not follow the first one."

Wen Yi smiled, hugged her grandmother's arm tightly, and her eyes were slightly red.

The man sent a letter back from home, and not long after the palace also sent a reward, but it was just some gold beads and wealth, but the holy decree was decent. Wen Yi solemnly enshrined the things in front of the spiritual seat of the ancestors and parents of the Liu family, worshipped, and then ordered the servants of the whole family to receive an extra half a month's money each, and add two dishes and a bowl of wine in the evening to celebrate.

When the Liu family heard the news, everyone was overjoyed, and they came to kowtow to Wen Yi and say countless auspicious words.

Just when the Liu family was rejoicing, Luo Mingmin came to Yangliver Hutong again. He didn't come alone, he was accompanied by a carriage, and the old man Wang in the concierge recognized it as Mrs. Luo's carriage, so he reported into the inner courtyard, but when Wen Yi rushed to the second door to greet him, he found that the person who got down from the carriage was a strange middle-aged woman, dressed plainly and neatly, and there were two or three pieces of jewelry of little value on her head, but no matter her appearance, size or voice, she gave people a very ordinary feeling.

Wen Yi stood on the second door, glanced at the woman a few times in surprise, and then turned to Luo Mingmin in confusion. Luo Mingmin smiled: "Brother and sister, can you come into the house and talk?" This lady is an acquaintance of mine, so it's okay. The woman smiled at Wen Yi and said a blessing: "How is Liu Yiren?" The little woman was polite. ”

Wen Yi was puzzled, but she still welcomed people into the living room to serve tea. After sitting down for tea, she saw that Luo Mingmin had not introduced the woman's identity for a long time, so she couldn't help but open her mouth first: "Brother Luo, I don't know...... What is this lady called? ”

Luo Mingmin hesitated for a moment, glanced at Runxin and Hexiang who were standing beside him, and didn't say anything. Wen Yi thought about it for a while, and then let the girls go out. She trusted Luo Mingmin, and with the woman present, she didn't have to worry too much.

Luo Mingmin then introduced: "This is Mrs. Zhongli, she is ......" paused, seemingly a little hesitant.

That Mrs. Zhongli was refreshing, and smiled at Wenyi: "Liu Yiren, the little woman's husband is a member of the General Administration, and today I asked Luo Gongzi to introduce me, in fact, I asked Liu Yiren to do me a favor." ”

Wen Yi was stunned: "General Administration? She didn't seem to have heard of this yamen.

Luo Mingmin hurriedly briefly explained the functions of the General Administration Department, and then said: "Our family's business is big and we have a wide range of contacts, so sometimes we ...... That one...... will do a little favor to the official family and provide a little convenience......" His face was a little uncomfortable, in his heart, Liu Dongxing was a brother, and Wen Yi was naturally his own person, why hide this kind of thing? But Si Li disagreed, because Liu Dongxing could no longer join the company as an errand boy, since the Liu family's relatives didn't know, so why let her know too much?

Wen Yi was taken aback, but after thinking about it, she felt quite reasonable. No matter how low-key and peaceful the family is, it may not be able to guarantee that it will escape every court battle, but if it has something to do with that kind of yamen, it should not be difficult to know some rumors in advance. Besides, the Luo family is not outstanding in the affairs of the imperial business, but it has occupied that son for many years, and no one has ever been able to shake it, if there is no reliance at all, she will not believe it.

However, this kind of secret, knowing too much is not beneficial, Wen Yi has not forgotten how he died in his previous life. She asked directly: "Brother Luo and Mrs. Zhongli came today, but because of the letter sent back by Uncle Jiang?" ”

Luo Mingmin saw that she didn't ask too much, relieved her mind a little, and saw that Mrs. Zhongli gave her a look, so she put forward the purpose of coming to the door today: "Brother and sister, the Secretary for Administration already knows about it, in fact, I ...... Several people I know from the General Administration Department have set up people in Qingzhou and Jinnan, but the news can't get out, and they are also worried about whether those people have already let Zheng Wangfu find out, and they are afraid that something will go wrong. When I heard that Jiang Zhizhou sent the letter, I thought...... I would like to ask Miss Jiang to come over and discuss with us how to inquire about what happened there and then rescue the people. ”

Wen Yi blinked and understood: "You want to borrow the name of the Jiang family...... Send someone over? ”

Luo Mingmin smiled slightly, and was about to speak, when Mrs. Zhongli took a step ahead: "Exactly, my father-in-law also sent people into Qingzhou, but the soldiers there were so tightly guarded that they couldn't get closer to the official office or the palace, if it was Jiang Zhizhou's family, it would not be difficult to get in, and I had to ask Miss Jiang to cooperate." ”

Wen Yi thought for a while and said, "Sister Jiang lives in Shilang Mansion, you probably don't want to alarm the people in that mansion, I'll go and invite people, it's just ......" She glanced at Luo Mingmin, "Brother Luo can't let her be in danger." ”

Luo Mingmin smiled, and raised his eyebrows: "My younger brother and sister are too underestimated to me, don't worry, this kind of thing doesn't need Miss Jiang to come forward, we just want to borrow her name and ask some about the Jiang family, so that people can see the flaws." ”

Mrs. Zhongli suddenly sighed, Luo Mingmin glanced at her puzzled, but Wen Yi couldn't help but smile: "Brother Luo, you really have to be careful, this flaw is too easy for people to see through." ”

Luo Mingmin blinked, suddenly shocked, and pointed at Wen Yi who couldn't speak for a long time.
