Chapter 25: Crossing the border and returning to Beijing

Wei's letter was really useful, and within a few days, the news of the triumphant return of the Yue army to Beijing came, and the Yue government was busy, hanging lanterns and planting colorful flags, and the people in the house and even the people in Beijing were looking forward to the might of the Yue army, but there was no news in the palace, and everyone could not figure out the emperor's will.

"Grandmother, here's the list of guests to the banquet, and the dishes for you to see." Rou Yun handed the post to the old lady.

The old lady took the post, squinted her eyes and looked carefully at it line by line, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yun'er does things, I am most at ease." ”

"Then I will command it to go down."

Rou Yun said a few words to Layue, Layue nodded, and took the post into the backyard.

"What about your mother?" The old lady looked left and right, but did not find Wei's figure.

"Mother is dressing up in the yard." Rou Yun remembered that her mother-in-law pulled her early in the morning and asked which hairpin was good-looking, which gown was suitable and so on.

The old lady shook her head and laughed: "Your mother-in-law and your father-in-law haven't seen each other for three years, so I think I must be thinking about it tightly, let her dress up well." The old lady remembered something, and asked Rou Yun, "What about Xingzhi, will Xingzhi come out to welcome guests today?" ”

"The general is in the bedroom with a medicinal bath, and will come out later."

Rou Yun remembered yesterday, and Yue Xun offered to come out to help welcome guests, and she was also a little shocked.

"That's good, that's good, take your time." The old lady noticed the change in Rou Yun's name for Yue Xun, and what she said seemed to mean something.

"Old lady, young lady, a guest has arrived." The maid in the house reported closely.

"Okay, welcome in." The old lady held her cane and said energetically.

"Grandmother, I'm going to help."

"Go ahead." The old lady patted Rou Yun's shoulder, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Canglan pushing Yue Xun out, pointing at Yue Xun and explaining: "Okay, go out with your lady to welcome guests." ”

"Yes."

Yue Xun moved his wheelchair to keep up with Rou Yun, and Rou Yun also slowed down his pace, the distance between the two slowly shrank, and Rou Yun could smell the smell of herbs on Yue Xun's body.

"Do you know all the guests who came here today, do you know the general?" Rou Yun searched for a topic.

"Well, there are not many guests invited, except for the officials who move around in Yue Mansion every day, most of the rest are generals who have deep contact with the army."

Rou Yun's clothes fluttered in the wind, brushing Yue Xun's hands from time to time, Yue Xun's hands were tightened, and there was a feeling of itching in his heart.

"So, will Captain Cloud Rider come today?" Rou Yun paused and looked at Yue Xun with some expectation.

Yue Xun looked at her like this, and her good-looking brows furrowed: "Are you talking about Jinle?" He will come. ”

"That's good, I finally have a chance to see a real person." Rou Yun didn't notice the change in Yue Xun's expression, and said to herself with a smile on her face.

Yue Xun blackened his face and moved forward without saying a word.

Only then did Rou Yun realize that he was unhappy, and asked Canglan on the side in confusion: "Why is the general suddenly in a bad mood?" ”

"Young lady, you still don't mention other men so expectantly in front of the general." No matter how emotional idiots Canglan is, he also knows that men's jealousy is also very strong.

Rou Yun thought for a moment, and felt that her behavior was inappropriate, so she caught up and apologized to Yue Xun, so that after talking for a while, Yue Xun's face slowly improved.

Although there are not many guests invited today, the emperor did not say anything, and the Yue family did not have the emperor's sacred heart, and many of the officials who received the post were afraid of the emperor's suspicions, and they only followed the salute, and they could not shirk it. Rou Yun and Yue Xun greeted each other for a while.

At this time, a man in a black suit, handsome facial features, and a man who looked full of righteousness arrived outside the house, he turned over and dismounted the horse with a clean and neat movement, and handed over the jujube red horse to the little man at the door, he looked around, his eyes stayed, and walked in the direction where Yue Xun was.

"General, this is..."Rou Yun asked Yue Xun in a whisper, and Yue Xun would take the initiative to introduce the visitor, why did he stop now.

"Jinle." Yue Xun didn't overdo it and replied unhappily.

Rou Yun carefully observed the visitor, and she was full of righteousness, no wonder the princess liked it.

"General Jin." Rou Yun saluted to the visitors, and the basic etiquette still had to be there.

"Young lady Ann." Jin Le returned the salute, his eyes inadvertently skimmed the woman, indeed as rumored to say, generous, dignified and polite, like a fairy.

After all, Jin Le is a righteous man and a gentleman, and he only appreciates Rou Yun as a person in the world, without any peeping at women by men.

"Yes." Jin Le greeted Yue Xun on the side, and saw that he seemed to be hostile to him, and he was a little confused.

"General..."Rou Yun tilted her head and whispered to Yue Xun.

"Hmm. Please come inside. Yue Xun nodded.

Jin Le didn't know where he offended him, but he didn't think much about it when he was in a bad mood because of his leg disease, and was led by the maid to the banquet.

"Everyone who comes is a guest, and the general should be more entertaining." Rou Yun reminded in a whisper.

Yue Xun's heart froze, and his tone became cold: "Are you blaming me for not treating him well?" ”

"It's the same for everyone." Rou Yun told the truth.

Yue Xun's face looks better.

At this moment, a soldier dressed in military uniform staggered happily to the front of the house and shouted: "The general has passed the Beijing Gate, the general has passed the Beijing Gate!" ”

The maid in the house listened, anxious to enter the house to report, after a while dressed up beaming, dressed in red clothes Wei helped the old lady walk out, Guo held his daughter and followed behind, a sound of gongs and drums in the distance, the people could vaguely see the Yuezi flag in the encirclement.

The old lady has not seen her children and grandchildren for a long time, and Wei also misses her husband who she has not seen for three years. Yan Yan fluttered in Guo's arms, shouting Daddy in front of her.

Yue Xun is staring at the Yue Zi Flag, with a lot of thoughts.

The Yuejia army was surrounded by the people and slowly approached. Everyone could clearly see the two generals riding bloody horses in front of them. The older beard is unshaven, and the whole person has an old atmosphere is Yuejiang; On the side, he is young, his skin is dark, and he has a long scar on his face, and he looks very crepe.

Yue Xun's scar has slowly faded into a complexion under the effect of Yao Zong Immortal Ointment, and it doesn't look obvious, plus Yue Xun's face that seems to be an official, it doesn't seem to have the slightest effect on it; And the scar of Yue Crepe is the kind that blends into the dark skin and appears naked to the outside, and at first glance it is a military general who has gone through the battlefield.

The team marched to the gate of the house, crossed the border and took the lead in reining in the horse and turned down. He knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady and shouted, "Mother." ”

"Grandmother." Crepe crepe followed.

"Hurry up! Go in first. The old lady was old and trembling, and stepped forward to help.

Yue Jiang and Yue Crepe got up, Yue Jiang helped the old lady to go inside, and Yue Crepe hugged Yu Yan from Guo's arms.

"Daddy is so ugly! I want books! "Yan Yan looked at the same scarred face, why is her father not as good-looking as her little uncle.

"Stinky girl! Dare to dislike your father, huh! Yue Crepe pretended to be angry, and Yan Yan was so frightened that she covered her mouth and didn't dare to mention it again.

Before the banquet arrived, the guests were first entertained by the experienced old women in the house, and the Yue family went into the backyard first to chat a few words of homely life.

After entering the backyard and taking a seat, Yue Jiang took a good look at his son in a wheelchair.

"Okay, how's it going?" Yue Jiang was always worried about Yue Xun's leg disease when he was outside, after all, his son was injured, and a large part of the reason was because he was careless in transferring troops.

"Father don't worry, it's better." Yue Xun hid from everyone and did not expose the fact that he was already able to walk.

The old lady smiled and said to her son: "Xingzhi's current situation is much worse than before, thanks to Yun'er's care, you have to thank your daughter-in-law!" ”

Hearing the old lady praise herself like this, Rou Yun hurriedly stood up and bowed: "Grandmother praised it, Rou Yun has seen her father-in-law and eldest brother." ”

"No need to be polite." Yue Jiang nodded, he had already received a lot of letters from the Wei family, all of which praised his daughter-in-law for how good and virtuous she was, and she had been accompanying Yue Xun to greet the guests outside the door, and she was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law with manners and courtesy.

"Hello brother and sister." Yue Crepe is a rough person, but from the evaluation of Guo and Yanyan, it can be known that this younger brother and sister are both talented and beautiful.

Rou Yun got up and breathed a sigh of relief, she was worried that her father-in-law would not mind her background, but she didn't expect that the Yue family was a kind family.

"Change your clothes, have a feast, don't keep the guests waiting." The old lady heard the bustle in the front yard and commanded.

Yue Jiang nodded, went into the side room with Yue Xun to change clothes, and when he passed by Yue Xun's side, he patted him on the shoulder: "Let's have a drink later." ”

Yue Xun nodded and agreed.

When Yue Jiang and Yue Crepe came out, the guests were already sitting in two rows in an orderly manner, the table was full of exquisite dishes, and the wine was also piled aside.

Yue Jiang poured a bowl of wine, stood up, cleared his throat and said to everyone: "You are the distinguished guests of Yuefu, come to the banquet with your face, Yue is overjoyed, I salute you." ”

"The general is polite, waiting for the general's triumphant return to Beijing." Everyone present got up one after another, raised their wine glasses and drank them all.

"Please sit down and eat."

Crossing the border and harmony, everyone is no longer restrained, there are many military generals, drinking boldly, leisurely and happy.

The little guy outside the door broke in a little hurriedly, came to the center of the banquet, and curtsied: "Master, someone from the palace has come." ”

Everyone in the Yue family and those present stood up, and Yue Jiang asked the little guy: "Who is it?" Please come in! Then we had to go to the door.

"It's the king and the eldest princess." Huo Yan said as he walked: "If you enter without permission, you will also look at General Haihan." ”

"See the Six Princes, see the Celestial Princess." When everyone saw Huo Yan and Duan Shu following behind, they bowed one after another.

Huo Yan stepped forward to help Mrs. Yue: "Old lady, the emperor has a life, you don't need to make this big gift." Then he helped up Yuejiang: "The general of the army is exempt." ”

Duan Shu also walked in front of Rou Yun and held Rou Yun's hand very intimately.

"His Royal Highness and the princess arrived, and they missed the distance, and they hope to forgive their sins." Yue Jiang hugged his fists and apologized.

Huo Yan smiled warmly: "What did the general say, I was ordered by my father to congratulate the general, and I came quietly and quietly, without letting people report in advance, it was the king's fault." ”

"Your Royal Highness is polite, I don't know what the emperor commands?"

"General Yue took the order." The crowd bowed down.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, Yue Jiang brave and strategic, specially named from the first rank of the hussar general, Yue Crepe for the third grade of the hussar leader, read the hard work of the two generals, give ten thousand gold, ten acres of land, gold and silver utensils, etc., stay in Beijing to recuperate." Huo Yan read word for word according to the holy decree.

On the surface, the holy decree sounds good, but it is actually an empty military power of the Yue family, and staying in Beijing means that there is no need to march to fight, so the Yue family has no reason to continue to lead troops. Everyone knew in their hearts, but they couldn't say a word more.

Yue Jiang tilted his head slightly, looked at Yue Xun, Yue Xun's eyes were dark, nodded at him, Yue Jiang took the holy decree and shouted: "Emperor Xie, long live my emperor, long live." ”
