On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the officials and some big families in Biansai wanted to take this opportunity to visit King Yanbei and discuss the staggered time to deliver the post.

When Tsurubai came out yawning, the jade steward handed her two prayer notes.

Tsurubai: "? ”

The jade steward replied with a smile, "This is a greeting post sent by the prefect next door, and I want to pay a New Year's greeting to the prince." ”

"This is for my sister-in-law? What are you doing for me? ”

"The prince and the princess haven't woken up yet."

"Huh?" Hebai looked at the sky in disbelief, "What time is this, they haven't woken up yet?" No way! Are they opening a small stove behind our back?! ”

"No......" The smile on the corner of Steward Jade's mouth became a little weird, "Hmm...... But it's normal, it's not good for us to bother, but there will be guests in the house later, the prince and the princess are not there, the little master is too young, so I have to let you come forward. ”

Hebai avoided the jade steward, she didn't want to entertain the guests, and shouted to wake up the two, the jade steward gave a look, and the two little maids next to her hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, but she couldn't explain it with a red face.

Seeing that he couldn't call anyone, Hebai glared at them angrily with dissatisfaction, "What do you have that you can't say directly?" What did the two of them do with us behind our backs last night, and they haven't gotten up yet? And Mama Cai didn't wake them up? Usually I have to lift my quilt when I sleep for a quarter of an hour, how can they be so double-standard, it's too much! ”

No matter how dissatisfied Hebai is, he will make a show, the thunder is loud and the rain is small, and the people are not afraid of her angry glare.

The jade steward pushed her to the front hall with a smile, and said perfunctorily: "It's nothing!" You're still young, it's okay if you don't understand, sooner or later you'll understand. ”

"I'm not too small!"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Halfway through, he met Shan Zhao's cubs who had just finished feeding the Hundred Beasts Garden, so they pulled them together to prepare to receive guests.

Shan Zhao looked at the direction of the hospital suspiciously, "Isn't this the matter of the prince and princess?" They haven't gotten up yet? ”

The jade steward smiled and nodded, "It's still early." ”

Shan Zhao couldn't believe it, "What's early?" Didn't the prince usually get up and practice swords? Could it be that you drank high yesterday? No, the prince drinks a lot of wine, huh? If the princess doesn't get up, how can the princess not be either, is something wrong? They played all night behind our backs? ”

The jade steward was speechless, and Hebai slapped him on the unwounded arm.

"What nonsense! What can happen to the New Year! It's a lot of them who rarely lie in bed, why are you so inked when you are asked to do something! ”

"Isn't that weird......"

Both of them are in their early twenties, but some things are not considered to be adults, and the jade steward shook his head helplessly.

It's also thanks to Shan Zhao that he can find out that he likes Hebai, otherwise they are estimated to be brothers in the dark for the rest of their lives.

They said that they were going to receive guests, but in fact, they didn't want them to do anything, and the two stewards were ready, just wait for the host's house to entertain them when the guests came.

Hebai and Shan Zhao also have nothing to do for the New Year, and they are also very bored when the guests come, one touches an orange and throws it at each other to play, and the maid burns a small stove on the side to make tea, the heat is thick, the tea fragrance is overflowing, and the two of them go around to roast the fire.

Ning'er and the wolf cub came over slowly after reading the morning class, and when they saw the two people huddled up next to the tea stove to keep warm, they tilted their heads suspiciously.

"Aunt Hebai, Brother Shan Zhao, where is my father and mother?"

Hebai squinted comfortably while holding the hot tea, "I haven't gotten up yet, Ning'er came just in time, let's have breakfast together, and there will be guests to entertain us later." ”

Ning'er was also surprised, his father and mother hadn't woken up after reading morning class, this was the first time.

Shan Zhao beckoned, made room for him, and the three of them and one wolf enjoyed the snow around the fireplace together, and waited for everyone to have breakfast.

"It's rare for the prince and princess to stay in bed, didn't they play all night behind our backs and couldn't get up?"

Hebai nodded approvingly, "It's something my sister-in-law will do, there must be something fun that won't take us to play." ”

Ning Er drank the special hot milk tea, looked left and right, and raised objections, "No, there is a fun father and mother who will definitely take me!" They must have just regained their neighbors and were discussing a policy of rectification. ”

Shan Zhao flicked his head lightly, "You know a lot at a young age, but if you don't talk to the prefect about this kind of thing, why do you want to talk to your mother?" Although the princess and sister-in-law are very powerful, she really can't give any advice on this kind of political matter. ”

Ning Er snorted coldly, "Daddy loves to tell his mother, of course his mother also understands something, don't underestimate women, throughout the dynasties, the history books record that women are not inferior to any man." ”

Although their country is not as open as that of its neighbors, it is not a hostile environment of male superiority.

There is not much restriction on women now, but many things are the first thing that comes to people's minds.

For example, when entering the court as an official, they all think that it is most appropriate for a man to be an official, but the law has never written that women are not allowed to be officials, and the history books of previous generations also recorded that one-third of the court was a female official, and the great achievements were not inferior to men.

Time has passed, and the officials in the court have changed wave after wave, and by the time of the previous generation of emperors, female officials and women will gradually disappear.

There has never been a restriction on female officers in the court, and there has never been a restriction on female generals on the battlefield, but now they have all been imperceptibly removed.

Hebai is the only female military general in the court since the two dynasties, the only female general, relying on Ye Juelu's support and the merits of real swords and guns.

Although it caused an uproar in the court, the law did not allow it, and the emperor did not allow it, so people remembered that they could have female officials and generals.

Hebai rubbed his serious little face with satisfaction, "That's right, our Ning'er is so smart!" Not like someone, huh! ”

"Huh?! Who are you talking about? When have I ever underestimated a woman! Ning'er, you backstab your own people, no, no, no, to make it clear, I'm not the same as those ordinary men, those are feudal antiques who think so! What I mean is that the government is such a complicated matter, and the women of the deep house can only see one-sided, and they will worry too much, thinking too much is not good for their health, and there is no need to add trouble to them. ”

Shan Zhao has never underestimated women, like his mother and several sisters-in-law, they can't be despised either, they can go into battle to kill the enemy, and they can teach their husbands and children. It's just that I still subconsciously feel that the women in the deep house are only proficient in the big mansion, and they don't understand the intrigue and weighing the pros and cons in the government and politics.

Shan Zhao was in a hurry to explain his innocence, and Hebai and Ning'er glanced at each other, deliberately teasing her.

When Ming Lanying and Ye Jielu came over, they saw Shan Zhao and Hebai arguing with red faces and red ears and shouted injustice.

"What are you talking about? So lively? ”

Hebai and Ning'er looked at her together.

"Sister-in-law, why are you up so late!"

"Mother!"

Ming Lanying yawned lazily, looking lazy and full of food and drink.

"There's nothing to do for the New Year, why do you get up so early?"

"Sister-in-law, you didn't say that before!" Tsurubai looked at her suspiciously, "But how are you ...... today?" Feeling a little different? It's kind of weird. ”

"What's strange?"

Shan Zhao didn't find anything strange about Ming Lanying, but he saw that Ye Juelu was weird today, with a spring breeze on his face and a full face, which he didn't do when he won the war.

Ming Lanying paused to drink tea, and also asked, "What's strange?" ”

Ning Er nodded sluggishly, "Today's mother-in-law...... Even more beautiful than yesterday! ”

The crane white chick nodded like a peck of rice, and the Ming Lan warbler smiled.

Ye Jielu hooked her hand and sat down, "Have you eaten breakfast?" ”

"Not yet, wait for my father and mother."

In winter and summer, when she was pregnant, she wanted to sleep more, and Meng Huaisu was with them, so she didn't have to wait for them.

Ye Jielu patted Ning'er, "Eat breakfast first." ”

Seeing that the master was coming, the jade steward hurriedly handed over today's two greetings and whispered about today's matters.

Tsurubai held his chin and looked her left and right, and the whole person swayed from side to side like a tumbler.

Ming Lanying was listening to the jade steward while chewing a small bun, and when she saw the swaying crane white, she raised her eyes lazily and glanced at her.

The skin is like coagulated fat, the jade face is flowery, and under the slender eyelashes are the radiant eyes.

As if electrocuted, a spirit sat up straight.

Shan Zhao was startled by her big move, the buns in the chopsticks fell into the porridge, and when he turned his head to see Hebai's stunned appearance, he snatched the buns from her plate dissatisfied.

Ning Er sandwiched a chopstick side dish for Ming Lan Ying, and when she looked up, she saw a little red mark on the side of Ming Lan Ying's neck, revealing a small piece in the collar.

"Mother, have you been bitten by mosquitoes? It's red here, huh? ”

Ming Lanying raised her hand to cover her neck violently, and smiled awkwardly, "Ah, yes, yes, I was bitten by a mosquito, and the fish that slipped through the net in autumn will let Mama Cai smoke mosquitoes when I turn around." ”

Hebai leaned over and glanced at it, and something flashed in his mind for a moment, combined with the ambiguous smiles of the maids and the jade steward in the morning, he suddenly realized in an instant.

She wasn't a little girl who didn't know anything, she just never thought about it.

"I see!"

Hebai slapped the table, his eyes widened, and he pointed at the excited eyes of Ming Lanying and Ye Jielu.

Shan Zhao concentrated on eating and didn't pay attention, but when he saw Hebai's excited face, as if he had discovered some big secret, he couldn't help but snort.

"Understand what?"

When Ming Lanying opened her mouth again, she quickly stuffed an egg into it.

"It's good to understand, you don't have to say it, hold it!"

"Mmmm

Shan Zhao: "? ”

Ming Lanying glared at the man beside her shyly, Ye Jielu couldn't help but chuckle, and turned Ning'er's face with his big hand.

"Just go back and apply some medicine, eat quickly, and practice equestrian with Taier after eating."

"Good!"

Ming Lanying didn't let Hebai say, Hebai could only share with Shan Zhao, as soon as she finished breakfast, she pulled Shan Zhao out, and couldn't wait to share the big secret she discovered, Ning'er took the wolf cub to the martial arts arena to find Tai Er to continue practicing equestrianism.

Ming Lanying couldn't stop Hebai, they were not children, and there was nothing that could not be said about the good relationship between the husband and wife, so she could only viciously pinch Ye Jielu's waist, gritting her teeth and whispering accusations against him.

"It's all said that you dare to leave traces outside, and you have seen it! Go to bed tonight! ”

The waist is full of tight muscles, and it doesn't hurt to pinch Ming Lan Ying, Ye Jielu can still laugh out loud, and hold Ming Lan Ying and whisper to comfort.

"I was wrong, next time I will absolutely refrain from it, work harder to serve a good lady, and only leave marks in invisible places."

Ming Lanying tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth, "For the sake of your good performance last night, you will sleep on the couch tonight and go to bed tomorrow." ”

"The couch is small and very cold......"

Ye Jielu pretended to be pitiful with beauty without pressure, and won Ming Lanying's soft heart,

Ming Lanying ruthlessly didn't agree, although the two of them slept together very comfortably, but she was not a pure-hearted person, with beauty by her side, she was afraid that she couldn't restrain herself, she didn't want to stay in bed for two days in a row.

Mama Cai waved away the surrounding maids and made room for the two to whisper.

She has been following Ming Lanying for a long time, but she found that the relationship between the two masters is very good, but there is no feeling of a real husband and wife.

She has lived for most of her life, and she still has this vision, but she doesn't understand that both of them have sons, how can they still be in the run-in period like a newlywed couple who have just met.

Now it's okay, that feeling is gone, and sure enough, the family just wants to be harmonious and sweet.

Hebai and Shan Zhao didn't know where to go to share the happiness, and Ming Lanying had no choice but to go into battle with Ye Jielu to receive the guests in person.

Ye Jielu went to the front line to fight soon after arriving at Biansai, and he was not familiar with Biansai's connections, so he sat next to him and became the mascot of the town throughout the whole process.

Ming Lanying is familiar with the officials and people of the big family in the border area, and they have met several times, and whether the relationship is good or not depends on the meaning of Ming Lanying.

Ming Lanying took out 200% of the spirit to deal with the guests, sleek and sophisticated, not surprised by changes, so that people can't make mistakes.

The person who handed over the greeting post just wanted to climb a relationship and get acquainted, sit down and chat about tea, chat a few words, and then get up and go to the next New Year's greeting relationship.

Fortunately, they discussed with each other, and they came to the door to pay New Year's greetings to the two families in one day, and Ming Lanying could still cope with it, dealing with guests in the morning, and taking Ning'er and Hebai to play in the afternoon.

After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Ye Jielu and several people began to get busy, and the people of the neighboring countries did not have much emotion about the change of monarch, and the rectification of the neighboring countries was underway, but there were extremely vicious bandits who took advantage of the chaos to rob the house, and Ye Jielu had to send someone to arrest them.

Xiao San began to fly on both sides of the capital, helping to deliver letters, conveying the emperor's meaning, and bringing back the news of the golden eagle.

"It said that its partner likes the life of the palace and wants to stay for two more years, the little prince has grown up, he can already walk, and he can call people, and he will reach out to catch me when he sees me, but I don't like human cubs, but the little master is okay."

Minglan Ying followed Hai Dongqing's feathers and laughed and blew two tones in response to it.

"Thank you for your hard work, give you more food."

Hai Dongqing rubbed her fingers, "I met a string of little sparrows on the road, let me tell you, Song Shanshan was expelled from the Song family, and so was her brother." ”

Ming Lanying raised her eyebrows in surprise, "What about the little sparrows?" ”

"Go back to Song's house to monitor it for you."

"Okay, I know, let them come back next time you run into them, you don't have to keep an eye on them."

The Song family was assigned to the side, and the only remaining Song family is still the Song family, Song Shanshan has no Dong Mansion's protection, her reputation is still stinky, and she has no value, as a big family that once valued face, she has become a stain.

Song Junyi, as his own brother, couldn't keep it even if he wanted to, and was kicked out by the Song family with him.

Although the family is defeated, but the people are still there, and the large number of family members is also a kind of protection, Song Shanshan has no protection from the Song family, and it won't be long before she can only find someone to marry hastily.

But these have nothing to do with Ming Lanying, the people who used to be are in the past.
