Wen Yi was a little puzzled when she heard his question, although she knew some things about the General Administration, but she didn't know a few people from the General Administration, and even Hu Jinquan had never taken a serious face-to-face, strictly speaking, the people in the General Administration Department she knew, except for Hu Jinquan and his mothers-in-law, as well as the neighbor of the Beijing house, Master Zhu, who was about to become a minister, was only ......

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and she was very surprised: "Could it be Brother Luo?" ”

Liu Dongxing smiled and nodded: "It's Brother Luo." This time there was a rebellion in Qingzhou, where Brother Luo presided over the affairs of the Tongzheng Department of Qingzhou and Jinnan, and took over the breakthrough left by his predecessor in Qingzhou, and made a great contribution to the suppression of the rebellion by the imperial court. Both the court and the division thought that although he was young, he was stable and capable, so he was specially promoted. ”

Wen Yi hurriedly smiled: "So he is really coming?" Do you want to be married first and then come? That's great, from now on, our two families will be able to come and go often in Cannes......" paused, and was a little puzzled, "I remember that Xianggong said that Brother Luo will turn the darkness into the light after finishing this errand, how can you ......"

Liu Dongxing said: "This is to turn darkness into light, he was sent to Cannes to preside over the affairs of the General Administration, and he is the general political envoy of this place, but on the bright face is the title of governor from the seventh grade, whether it is a local or military official, he cannot support him." Wait for him to stay here for a year or two, and then change to another place to continue to stay, so that he will work hard for more than ten years, boil out his qualifications, and then return to Beijing to re-enter the General Administration Department as an official. At that time, it will be a matter of left and right senators, left and right politics, and so on. ”

Wen Yi suddenly realized. This is actually tantamount to earning qualifications in disguise, after all, Luo Mingmin is too young, if he directly enters the upper echelons of the General Administration Department as an official at a young age, it seems that he is not enough, and he is not experienced enough. However, the people of the General Administration Department are willing to give him this opportunity, just to promote him, right? With Luo Mingmin's ingenuity, he is not worried about not being able to make contributions in the past few years.

But she was still a little worried: "In this case, when he arrives here, is it still convenient for our family to interact with him?" Aren't you in charge of the military affairs of this place now? ”

Liu Dongxing didn't care much: "It's okay, as long as it's not too public, whether it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or the adults of the General Administration, they all know my details, and they also know that I don't have dealings with Brother Luo for personal gain, as long as it's not too much, the boss won't ask." After a pause, a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Moreover, he is presiding over the General Administration Department here, and he is said to be a secret mission, but in fact, it can be regarded as a clear difference." The meaning of the imperial court is that the people of the Kang Wangfu are meritorious first, their young master is a loyal minister, and the holy mansion is kind-hearted, so it will not be reissued, but the deterrence cannot be less, so the local general administration division is not only not a secret agent, but also clearly shows that friendship with the garrison can add a little more weight, and it is necessary to let those who are not right-minded know that it is good to be safe. If you don't repent, but want to hide people's eyes and ears and plot against you, the secretary has a knife in his hand."

Wen Yi was shocked and somewhat understood. Because of the relationship between Kang Wangfu and King Kang, the newly built General Administration Department here is different from other places, it is both a secret agent and a bright agent, which is very suitable for Luo Mingmin, who intends to turn from dark to light, not to mention that he is close friends with Liu Dongxing, who is in charge of the army. But she didn't care much about these things, she only knew that their couple's best friends and sisters were coming soon, and they would be in the same place with them for a long time. Therefore, she just smiled and asked, "Where will Brother Luo live after he comes?" Will the Chief Secretary arrange a house? If he comes back after becoming a relative, I won't have any taboos in dealing with Sister Jiang, right? Shouldn't we have something for them? ”

Liu Dongxing thought for a while: "That's right, although we can't make a show, but Brother Luo and we are not ordinary feelings, so we can't do nothing in order to avoid suspicion, come, let's take a closer look at the details......"

Not to mention how they discussed this day, on the second day, Liu Dongxing had to go back to the garrison. Wen Yi had already packed her luggage and was ready to go back with him, so naturally she was indispensable to serve diligently in front of her grandmother, and she was reluctant.

Old Madam Lu was much calmer: "What's this? How many miles away? When you miss me, come back for two days, but don't go back too often, and make people laugh at the granddaughter I raised. ”

Wen Yi blushed embarrassedly, took her hand and said, "Grandmother lives here, and if she wants anything to eat and play, she tells her subordinates to find it; If you are idle, it is good to go out in the car; The homework of the two brothers is watched by the gentlemen of the academy, and they are also sensible and will not mess around; The younger brother and the sixteenth sister are still young, so it is good to take your time in upbringing, and grandmother must not be too tired. ”

Old Madam Lu smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, grandmother is not a child, how to live, do you still want to teach me?" ”

Jiang Shi, who was sitting on the side, smiled: "With such a sensible and filial granddaughter, the sixth aunt is really blessed and the nine girls can rest assured, there is still me here, I will come to see your grandmother from time to time, watch her old man eat, drink and have fun, and never let her be tired."

This made everyone laugh, Wen Yi saw that Jiang's eyebrows and eyes were bright, and he was obviously in a good mood, so he asked with some curiosity: "What good things happened to the eldest aunt?" Why do you seem to be so happy? ”

Jiang Shi covered his mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "Where is it?" It's just that the weather is good today, the sun is shining, and the flowers in the yard are blooming beautifully. ”

Wen Yi raised her eyebrows and didn't say anything, just turned to Wen Hui on the other side: "Sixth sister, I'm leaving, my grandmother lives here, although I take care of my aunt from time to time, but my aunt always has a time to look back at the village, and I will ask my sister to take care of my grandmother for me at that time." ”

Wen Hui smiled slightly: "This is nature. My sixth uncle and grandmother were kind and generous, and I always liked to listen to her teachings in front of her old man. ”

The depression between her eyebrows was a little less than before, and she looked much more cheerful. Wen Yi remembered yesterday's situation and turned to other topics.

Liu Dongxing and Wen Yi left this time, they had informed Liu Dongning early, but the latter came a little late, and when he arrived in a hurry with his wife Wen Xian, Liu Dongxing had already ordered someone to pull the horse out, and Wen Yi also got into the carriage and was ready to leave.

Liu Dongning's face was full of shame, and he hurriedly stepped forward to apologize to his brother: "Big brother, I'm really sorry, I drank a few more drinks yesterday, and I was a little dizzy in the morning, so I slept a little longer, and your brother and sister didn't know the severity and didn't tell me to get up, so I delayed the time to go out." ”

Liu Dongxing glanced at Wen Xian, who was dragging and pulling off the carriage behind him, and saw her reluctance, her heart was bright, so she said lightly: "Since you are not well, what does it matter if you sleep a little longer?" I'm not going far away, the two places are less than a hundred miles apart, and I often have the opportunity to come back. When you are free, you can also come over to see the eldest brother, stay for two days, take a look at the mountain scenery of Kangnan, and I will accompany you to go up the mountain for a walk, how about it? ”

Liu Dongning's face was slightly less ashamed, and he also squeezed out a smile: "Since the eldest brother said so, I will definitely bother it." ”

Liu Dongxing nodded with a smile, paused, stretched out his hand to pull him to the side, and said in a low voice: "Second brother, you are now a married person, although your homework is important, but you can't ignore the affairs of the family, there are some things, as the head of the family, you should show some courage, you need to know that the husband and wife are one, if something really happens, you can't get rid of it." Rather than being embarrassed by the time, it is better to take precautions early. ”

Liu Dongning's face turned red when he heard this, and he said in a snort: "Big brother, did you say something about yesterday's banquet?" I've heard from someone about it, my eldest brother's good life, your brother and sister are rude in front of guests, it's too much, I'll teach her a good lesson."

Liu Dongxing shook his head: "That's not what I'm talking about. Yesterday, my sister-in-law was a little angry, but it wasn't entirely for the face of our husband and wife, but more worried about you. You know, many of the gentlemen who came yesterday were gentlemen from the academy, and their daughters were all your and my masters, and they should have been respectful, but their younger siblings treated them as ordinary guests, and there were many arrogant words and deeds. In the eyes of the gentlemen, they will inevitably have an opinion about you, you have not yet entered the school seriously, if you have the heart to ask them for advice, and you have ruined your reputation for no reason, how can you live in the future? ”

Liu Dongning was suddenly very grateful: "Thank you big brother for reminding me, I actually forgot this stubble." Don't worry, I will definitely make a big gift when I go back, make amends to all the teachers and mothers, and ask them to forgive your younger siblings for their rude behavior. ”

"There's no need for a heavy gift, just let the gentlemen know that you're sincere." Liu Dongxing said, "There is one more thing, yesterday my brother and sister also had a quarrel with the sixth aunt and said something inappropriate, do you know?" He told Liu Dongning what Wen Xian said, but he didn't mention the follow-up, just said: "I introduced Brother Han to you, I thought that when you first arrived in Cannes, I can't accompany you all the time, so ask Brother Han to guide you, and it can also save you a lot of trouble, but I don't want to give birth to such an incident." This matter can be big or small, one careless, not only offended Brother Han, but also hurt the face of the Liu Gu family, I'm just it, you haven't started in your career yet, and you have a bad reputation for a little woman's spirit, it's really not worth it. ”

Liu Dongning's face was red and white for a while, and he was ashamed: "I...... I...... I will definitely teach that stupid woman a good lesson when I go back, I really don't know how to be so cruel to my sisters? Six...... The sixth cousin is already ill-fated, as her relative, she should have more love and pity, how can she ...... How can you ......?"

Liu Dongxing coughed lightly and interrupted him: "You have it in your heart, and you don't have to be too decisive." After all, she is your wife, and she is peaceful and peaceful, which is the rules that a virtuous family should have. ”

Liu Dongning lowered his head and was convinced, repeatedly promising that he would educate his wife well, and then asked a little hesitantly: "Big brother, Brother Han, ...... Is he ...... Is it really ......" didn't finish that sentence for a long time.

Liu Dongxing didn't hear clearly, looked up at the sky, and said, "It's not too early, I should be on the road, otherwise I won't be able to get to the place before dark." The second brother remembered to come to see me and your sister-in-law when he was free, and we left. ”

Liu Dongning watched his brother and sister-in-law's carriage go away in despair, and lowered his head in disappointment. Wen Xian waited on the side of the carriage for a long time and didn't see him turn back, glanced at the direction of the gate, and didn't see anyone inside coming out to greet her, pursed her lips, then walked to her husband and whispered, "Xianggong, why don't we go back earlier?" Didn't you say that Ming'er was going to meet a great Confucian and would sort out a few articles for him to read? ”

Liu Dongning came to his senses and glanced at her dissatisfied: "Since you are here, how can you leave without seeing your elders?" It's a shame that you're still the daughter of a scholarly family, and you married into the Shili family as a daughter-in-law, don't you even understand this rule? ”

Wen Xian's face turned white: "I'...... I...... How can you ......?"

Liu Dongning didn't let her continue: "What kind of place is this?" People come and go, Hugh told people to see the joke, why don't you hurry in and say hello to the elders? You were rude yesterday, and you just dragged out and refused to apologize to your sister-in-law, how did I explain to you before I went out? In the past, I thought of the relationship between husband and wife, and indulged you everywhere, but I didn't let you throw my dignity to the ground and trample on it at will, while my maternal uncle, grandmother and eldest aunt were there, why don't you compensate them? ”

At this time, the maiden mother-in-law they brought was standing next to her, and there were also servants from the Liu Gu family standing at the gate, Wen Xian only felt that everyone was watching them, her face couldn't help but be spicy, she wanted to refute it, but she didn't take advantage of it, and she was even more worried that she would provoke her husband, he would directly complain to her mother's family, and in shame, she simply turned her head and entered the gate, and hurriedly walked inside, and her mother-in-law was already busy stepping forward to guide her into the inner courtyard.

Liu Dongning saw it from behind, snorted coldly, and slowly entered the door, waved his hand to rebuke the mother-in-law who stepped forward to lead the way, and walked in the direction of the backyard by himself. Only after entering the second gate, I saw a person coming in front of me, and he was immediately stunned at his feet, and he couldn't go forward anymore.

It was Wen Hui who came, she was originally talking to Mrs. Lu and Jiang in the upper room, but when she heard that Wen Xian was coming, she didn't want to meet the latter, so she turned out of the small door at the back of the house first, and was about to go to see Wen Kang and Wen Yue's brothers and sisters, but she actually bumped into Liu Dongning, who was one step behind. But she didn't have any change in her expression, she just glanced at the other party lightly, bowed sideways, called "Fifth Brother-in-law", and was about to turn around and leave.

"Sixth cousin" Liu Dongning couldn't help but stop her, she didn't look back, just stopped: "The fifth sister is in the house, the fifth brother-in-law go in." Then he continued on his way.

"Sixth cousin, please stay, I have something I want to tell you." Liu Dongning spoke again, and when he saw that Wen Hui didn't stop and continued to walk forward, he couldn't help but be anxious: "I heard that the eldest aunt is going to talk about the family affairs for the sixth cousin, I ...... I just want to congratulate my sixth cousin, I wish you ......" his eyes reddened, "I wish you a good couple...... The white-headed old man ...... "As he spoke, his nose was sore, and he almost burst into tears.

"Are you finished?" Wen Hui turned around abruptly and glared at Liu Dongning viciously, with fire in her eyes.
