In February, the second dragon raised its head, a dull rumbling sound came from the distant sky, the dark sky fell, and the two palace people looked at the hour and slowly closed the palace gate, and at this moment a man and a horse galloped over, like the wind like a whip in the last moment when the palace gate was closed.

"General Jingo!" The palace people immediately bent down and bowed, and the people on the horse had turned into a dark red black shadow and disappeared on the palace road.

"General Jingo is so mighty, and at a young age, he is already in the second rank of General Jingo......"

"Not only mighty, the emperor personally granted General Jinwu the privilege of riding horses in the palace, even the most favored third prince and fourth prince do not have this privilege, I heard that the emperor also wants to award the dragon and tiger general, it is really long......"

"That is also the day when General Jinwu has real ability, and it only took more than four years to beat the Tatars and never turn over, so that the northern Xinjiang will be stable, and all the people will submit to our Great Zhou ......"

General Jinwu, who was infinitely admired and envied by the two palace people, strode to the outside of the imperial study with the emperor's personal attendant, the master of ceremonies, and the eunuch Fu De, he sorted out the dark red robe of the second-grade military general and was about to bend down to bow, and the rich manager raised his arm with a smile and said cordially: "The emperor ordered the general not to be polite, and to go in immediately." As he spoke, he pretended to cough and said in a low voice: "Li Mingli has an accident, and the emperor is annoyed." ”

Li Mingli is in charge of the North Town Fu Division, from the time when the emperor was still the crown prince, he has been deeply trusted by the emperor, is the first person of the emperor to pull up the guard, the Great Zhou set up the North and South Town Fu Division but did not have the East Factory, of which the rights of the North Town Fu Division are much greater than the South Town Fu Division, directly ordered by the emperor to hand-pick private cases, have their own edicts, can be arrested, tortured, executed, without going through the three divisions, the results of the trial are directly reported to the emperor, with great privileges.

Before his class returned to the court, Li Mingli was ordered to go to Jiangnan to inspect and pay taxes, and it had been more than three months, and the words of the rich manager made his heart move, and he couldn't help but solemnly bow to the rich manager, "Thank you father-in-law for mentioning something." ”

He deserved this thanks, and the rich manager accepted his gift half-pushed, shook the dust and straightened up and sang: "General Jiang Xiangmo of Jinwu has come to see the saint." ”

The rich manager personally pushed open the door of the imperial study, and Jiang Xiangmo walked in solemnly, "Minister Jiang Xiangmo see the imperial ---"

"Okay, don't kneel, come here, I have something important to tell you......"

"Thank you to the emperor for his grace, but the courtesy cannot be abolished. Jiang Xiangmo knelt respectfully and kowtowed.

Mr. Fu immediately closed the Zhu door of the imperial study from the outside, he vaguely saw that the Son of Heaven who was dressed in bright yellow actually walked down the dragon case and pulled up Jiang Xiangmo, Mr. Fu looked up at the dark and endless sky, the stars in the sky are sparse, light and dark, the stars have also fallen and risen, and the favor belonging to Li Mingli has completely passed, and it must be Jiang Xiangmo who calls for wind and rain for a lifetime.

Jiang Xiangmo left the palace when he was close to his son, and rode back to Jiang's mansion, but the mother-in-law on the second gate was waiting for him at the gate, "Second master, the old lady asks you to see her as soon as you return to the house." ”

"Hasn't the old lady stopped this hour?" Jiang Xiang Moying's thick eyebrows like a sword frowned, and her whole body unconsciously exuded a kind of hard and cold might, and the mother-in-law couldn't help but tremble, and her reply was a little unfavorable, "Since the second master...... When she set out on the expedition, the old lady began to sleep lightly and sleep less......"

"I'll go see the old lady, you don't have to follow. Jiang Xiangmo said and strode towards the old lady's Fuxi Hall.

"Say hello to the second master. The maid guarding the door in front of Fuxi Hall hurriedly glanced at Jiang Xiangmo, and immediately lowered her head and opened the curtain, after Jiang Xiangmo entered, she breathed a sigh of relief, in the middle of the cold night, she was stared at by the second master when she entered the door, and her heart that was originally a little charming reverie for the second master had already trembled into ice slag.

The old lady was in her sixties, her face was ruddy and full of silver threads, she looked quite kind, she leaned on the ginger honeysuckle folded branch pillow and stared silently at the door curtain.

Jiang Xiangmo entered the room and directly waved his hand to let the old lady's eldest maid Minglan retreat, and personally stepped forward to pull the quilt up for the old lady, "Grandmother, why haven't you fallen asleep yet, Cuiyuan didn't specifically explain that you want your work and rest rules, don't worry too much......

"People are old, they feel less, so they just wait to see when you come back. ”

"It's the grandson's unfilial piety that worries the grandmother. ”

"Well, that's right, among these sons and grandchildren, you let me worry the most, when you led the troops to the battle, my grandmother didn't dare to close her eyes all night, for fear of ......being like your father."

Jiang Xiangmo's father also became famous in World War I, and he was named a general at a young age, but he was killed on the spot in order to save a personal guard in the chest during the battle against Tatar.

The old lady said that tears fell, "God has eyes, and I hope you are safe and safe......"

"It's the grandson who is not filial...... Jiang Xiangmo is a military general, and he doesn't pay much attention to dogmatic things, he took two steps forward and bent down to sit in front of the old lady's couch, and his burly and straight body suddenly covered the old lady in the shadow like a hill, and he moved back again, raising his hand to wipe the old lady's tears.

"Just sit here, let Grandmother take a good look at whether she is dead again......" The old lady stretched out her hand and grabbed Jiang Xiangmo.

When people are old, they look forward to their children and grandchildren around their knees, but the people in Jiangfu are not prosperous.

The two grandsons in the big room, the eldest grandson Jiang Xiangji was sick in the womb, and the medicine did not leave the mouth all day long, and the other was born to a maid in the room, and was raised directly in the big wife's room, but he was cowardly and timid.

The third master of the third room is a concubine, although he is honest, he has always been separated from the old lady, and the two grandsons are only respectful to the old lady and have no intimacy.

The old lady cherished him the most when he was a child, and the requirements for him were extraordinarily strict, the old lady looked forward to him taking the path of a civil official, not seeking a big official or a small official, as long as he was loyal to himself and self-denial, he could ensure a peaceful life, but Jiang Xiangmo liked to dance with guns and sticks, and was a genius who practiced martial arts, so the old marquis ignored the old lady's opposition and passed on his martial arts to Jiang Xiangmo.

Looking at the majestic grandson, the old lady was relieved and sad, she held Jiang Xiangmo's hand and wiped her tears, "Mo'er, now grandmother has only one wish, that is, I hope you marry a wife and have children as soon as possible, there is a body in the room who knows cold and hot, you have been back for more than a month, the lady in Beijing can have something you like, grandmother will propose you to ......"

Jiang Xiangmo's body suddenly stiffened a little.

marrying a wife and having children, Jiang Xiangmo has no longing for this topic, and has experienced the destruction of him by a vulgar, cruel and vicious woman, and his inexplicable rejection and disgust for the word wife.

Seeing that Jiang Xiangmo was silent and his expression was secretive, the old lady said tentatively: "If there is no one who agrees, what do you think of your sister Yan Ning, she has seen filial piety, and she has grown up with you since childhood, and she is a good child who is lovely and filial......"

Zhou Yanning's parents passed away one after another, and they kept filial piety for four years, and now they are twenty years old, and their family affairs are still hanging.

"Yan Ning?" Jiang Xiangmo shook his head and smiled, "I just treat her as my sister-in-law...... "He said and changed the subject, "Grandmother, I have to go on a long trip tomorrow, at least in three months, at most half a year, my grandson is not around, you have to take care of your body." ”

The old lady looked shocked and said, "You just came back, do you want to go out again?" Why is it so urgent, you can't stay for two more days, I have already sent someone to pick up Yan Ning, and I originally planned to let you go to the city gate to pick her up......"

Jiang Xiangmo smiled and interrupted the old lady, "It's not early, my grandson is going back, grandmother, you rest early, my grandson asked Cui Yuan to transfer two boxes of tranquilizing dew to grandmother, and my grandson will send it to you later." ”

After Jiang Xiangmo finished speaking, he directly called Minglan to come in to serve the old lady, and walked to the outer courtyard alone in the dark night starlight.
