Ning Xiaochuan in the courtyard walked around, and when he walked to a small building in the east, he saw plum blossoms in front of the court.

There are a few plums in the corner, and Ling Han opens it alone.

A hundred years ago, there was a poet surnamed Du who was good at writing Mei, and wrote more than 100 poems in his life to praise plum blossoms.

One of the most famous is "Yongmei".

I know that it is not snow, only dark incense; Let how many literati in later generations hang on their lips and have endless aftertastes, I don't know how to praise them, and finally I have to sigh with emotion, what a dark fragrance!

Ning Xiaochuan, who admired the plum blossoms, had not finished expressing the tone in his heart, and was suddenly awakened by a knock on the window.

Looking up, in the corner of the pavilion, a woman with exquisite makeup was knocking on the window with a bamboo stick, and her long hair was coiled up on the back of her head.

According to the custom of Dafeng, the woman grows her hair and ties her hair when she gets married, and the woman in front of her looks not very old, but she has already married a woman, but when she appears here, it is still a separate courtyard, which can't help but make Ning Xiaochuan think of the four words Jinwu Zangjiao.

Without waiting for Ning Xiaochuan to speak, the woman in front of him said impatiently, "Hey, there is a road next to you, what are you doing stepping on my flower garden." ”

Ning Xiaochuan realized that he had just accidentally stepped into the garden because he was too engrossed.

Hurriedly raised his foot and stepped forward, embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I just think this plum blossom is very good, the interest is rising, and I am a little rude, I'm really sorry." ”

The woman was lying on the edge of the window, looking at the handsome young man in front of her, and there was a trace of suspicion between her eyebrows.

This is obviously praising plum blossoms, but when she heard it in the woman's ears, it became a flashy disobedient word, so she snorted coldly, "The flamboyant Central Plains people, just a few plum blossoms, can you be so obsessed?" I'm afraid that I didn't have a ghost in my heart and was discovered by me, so I made up these words to please me. ”

Ning Xiaochuan looked puzzled, looked up at the woman, the woman's tone was not mean, but there was still obvious dissatisfaction, it should be that she knew that she was a guest invited by the head of the family, so she didn't say it too badly.

Ning Xiaochuan smiled, "Literati students, appreciating plum blossoms and chrysanthemums, traveling around the world, when they encounter something they like, they will open their mouths to praise them, and even write poems and essays, how can it become a rhetoric to please others in the eyes of a girl?" ”

This kind of subjective speculation that is brought into the self first is groundless, and the woman upstairs is even more so after hearing Ning Xiaochuan's rebuttal, only to see that the woman thought for a while, then looked at Ning Xiaochuan coldly and said:

"The things that the literati like in their mouths are like the words after drinking, there is no half of the truth, especially those who are so handsome like you, these words are reserved to deceive the little girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet."

Ning Xiaochuan was a little speechless, I didn't know if the woman was praising herself or sarcastic, she thought she was a good wife and mother who was diligent and thrifty, but she didn't expect that after these three or two sentences, she was more like the resentful young woman who was negative.

"Bo Qing is mostly a reader, this sentence is true, but you can't rely on this sentence to beat all the world's scholars to death with a stick, this horse is still a good horse and a bad horse, isn't it the same for a reader? It's a long way to say this, but to be honest, this plum blossom is really good. ”

The woman also felt that she was at a loss, so she closed the door and window and ignored Ning Xiaochuan anymore.

Ning Xiaochuan shook his head helplessly, this little episode did not affect his mood.

In the evening, Chen Xianyu invited Ning Xiaochuan to a banquet, and Ning Xiaochuan wanted to ask the young woman in the small building at the door several times, but he didn't say anything, in case it was really a golden house, wouldn't he be embarrassed.

Rich masters like to raise concubines, and Chen Xianyu is just an ordinary person, and his love for women is understandable.

There was nothing to say all night, and in the early morning of the next day, the Chen family was busy up and down, and when I asked, I learned that Chen Xinru, the son of the Chen family, was coming back today.

The eldest son loves to be clean, and the head of the Chen family arranged for the family to clean the yard early in the morning, and the northwest wind was sandy and dusty, and it took more than half a day to clean the small yard.

For Chen Xinru, Ning Xiaochuan is also looking forward to it, yesterday he inquired about the people, Chen Xinru joined the army under the influence of Chen Xianyu at the age of seventeen, because of his outstanding achievements, when he conquered Xiqiang, he took two thousand iron horsemen to surprising the army, burned Xiqiang's 100,000 stone military rations, so that Xiqiang was defeated before the battle.

Later, because of his extraordinary strength and outstanding military achievements, he was named the general of the remaining battalion, and he was also the youngest of the generals of the 12th battalion.

At noon, Chen Xinru, dressed in a white robe, appeared outside the mansion on a jujube red horse.

Ning Xiaochuan looked at Chen Xinru, he was really brave and handsome, although Chen Xinru was not very handsome and good-looking, but this white robe and the military atmosphere on his body reflected that he was indeed more heroic than ordinary men.

At the same time, Chen Xinru also saw the young man standing beside his father, and he was very puzzled.

Coming to the old father's side, Chen Xinru looked at Ning Yan cautiously and said, "Father, this is ......"

Chen Xianyu put it in his son's ear and whispered softly, and then saw Chen Xinru's eyes change from cautious to shocked, and finally incredible.

Ning Xiaochuan took the lead in breaking the deadlock, and said with his head bowed, "General Chen, fortunately." ”

Chen Xinru was about to salute, but Ning Xiaochuan, who saw through Chen Xinru's intentions, hurriedly went up to stop him, "Ordinary people, it's not worth being like this." ”

can achieve the position of a general who commands more than 10,000 people, Chen Xinru naturally has some ability, and immediately said, "Son, fortunately." ”

"Big Brother ......"

Before the words fell, I saw a woman walking out of the path next to her, rushing straight to Chen Xinru, holding her eldest brother who she hadn't seen for many years and crying bitterly.

"Big brother?"

Ning Xiaochuan wondered in his heart, wasn't this woman called Big Brother the same woman he met yesterday?

How do you call Chen Xinru's eldest brother, is he Chen Xinru's sister and Chen Xianyu's daughter? But why didn't I see Chen Xianyu yesterday and say that he still had such a married daughter, so that he mistakenly thought that Chen Xianyu secretly tasted fishy.

Chen Xianyu looked coldly at the family members who were following behind the woman, and the two family members were helpless, this eldest lady's temper came up, who could stop it.

Chen Xinru looked at her sister, surprised and delighted, but full of doubts, "Guoru, why did you come back?" Isn't your brother-in-law with you? Dad, why don't you say anything when your sister comes back? ”

Chen Xianyu coughed embarrassedly, and the aggrieved Chen Guoru hugged Chen Xinru and cried bitterly, "Big brother......

At this moment, Ning Xiaochuan and Chen Xinru both knew what was going on, recalling the woman's attitude towards him yesterday, Ning Xiaochuan also shook his head helplessly.

It turned out that she had guessed correctly, she was indeed a resentful young woman who was negative, Chen Xinru's eyes revealed obvious murderous and angry intent, but Ning Xiaochuan was present, so he forcibly endured it, and softly comforted him and let the family take it down.

During this period, Ning Xiaochuan and the woman glanced at each other, but they both tacitly ignored their eyes.

Back in the house, Chen Xianyu embarrassedly explained that the woman just now was his youngest daughter Chen Guoru, because she was married to Jiangnan, but she was divorced by her husband's family a few days ago, and she stayed at home and didn't dare to see anyone.

After hearing this, Ning Xiaochuan only felt that it was not worth it to feel sorry for Chen Guoru, the husband and wife were divorced, people would only blame the woman for not being virtuous enough, not virtuous enough, and even speak ill of each other, and the woman who scolded was incomplete, but who would investigate the man's fault?

This world is unfair to women, and even more so for women from poor families, Mrs. Ning has warned their five brothers since they were children, and when they meet a woman, they can help if they can, and they can't harm if they don't help.

Ning Xiaochuan felt deeply about the unfair status of Dafeng women, and his fourth brother was like this, just because he liked a musician from Yule Mansion, he was angry and went away to Sichuan and Shu.

Ning Xiaochuan was also very curious in his heart, what the fourth brother liked was the musician, who could make him so obsessed, and he didn't know how the fourth brother would feel after learning that his parents had passed away, and he thought that there would be a lot of regret and regret.

Ning Xiaochuan didn't answer, Chen Xianyu thought that it was his own troubles that disturbed Gongzi's tranquility, so he quickly diverted the topic.

During this period, Chen Xinru had been looking at the fifth prince in front of him, and the news that Ning Xiaochuan, the fifth son of Ning, had come to Xiangzhou as early as a few years ago.

The fifth prince grew up in the army when he was young, and many veterans liked it, especially Xu Ziqian, who treated Ning Xiaochuan as his own son, so there were still many rumors in the army, but they didn't dare to spread it deeply, for fear that the old general would hear about it and cut off his tongue.

There is still a lot of discussion in the army about the arrival of Ning Wugongzi, Xu Ziqian, Ning Bofeng and a Xu Muliang are strong in the army, intending to let Ning Xiaochuan enter the Xiangzhou army.

However, a young general with outstanding military achievements like Qi Shangang objected, and the reason was quite sufficient, how many state soldiers in this state army were defeated by forgetting their lives and forgetting their lives, why let a hairy boy sit back and enjoy his success, is it because his surname is Ning?

There was a lot of debate in the army, and the low-level officers talked about it, but the general did not speak, and Dunhuang never heard that Ning Wugongzi had entered the city, so it did not let the matter ferment.

Chen Xinru never thought that Ning Xiaochuan, the party involved in this matter, would actually be in his own home and become his father's guest.

Chen Xinru has known that the Ning family has a great kindness to their family since he was a child, so when Ning He came to Xiangzhou, he stood by Ning He's side without hesitation.

Ning He also attaches great importance to himself, when he attacked Xiqiang, many battles were fought by himself, which also allowed him to accumulate a lot of military merits, so that he was able to sit firmly in the position of general in the army at a young age, but in the same way, the numerous military affairs also made him lose his beloved girl.

Chen Xinru looked at Ning Xiaochuan, Ning Xiaochuan was also looking at Chen Xinru, Ning Xiaochuan didn't plan to see Chen Xinru in Chen's mansion, and after learning about the affairs of the army from Chen Xianyu, he planned to leave, after all, if he wants to return to Dunhuang, he still needs some helpers, and he can't spend all the time in Wuwei.

But Chen Xin happened to come back today, so Ning Xiaochuan had to face this embarrassing scene, Ning Xiaochuan had reason to suspect that this was Chen Xianyu's intention, and he stayed for one night, just so that he could see Chen Xinru.

What can you do if you can see it, what can you do if you don't see it, Ning Xiaochuan had a wry smile in his mind, this Dunhuang is not just Chen Xinru a general.

Ning Xiaochuan couldn't help but miss the days in Beiban, although it was short, less than a year, he didn't see too many characters in the Beiban rivers and lakes, he didn't meet the Great Khan of Beiban, and he didn't even finish all the Beiban Lege, but fortunately, the ending was life and death anyway.

This time, I am not only facing life and death, but also complex human hearts.

He wasn't afraid, if he was afraid, he wouldn't come to Wuwei, but he didn't want to.

Boiling beans and burning beans, this calculation comes and goes, isn't it still a family?
