Chapter 623: Expedition
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, all the lanterns and other places in the capital have been put away, and the atmosphere of the New Year is not so strong.
On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, it was the first morning court in the New Year, and it was also a big court meeting, and Shen Hongjun went to the morning court early in the morning. Not only Shen Hongjun, but even Yun Zhen Tianfu and others also had to go to the early dynasty.
After Yunxue got up in the morning, she ate something and then packed up and went back to Han's house. On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, it was originally the day when a woman returned to her parents' house, and Yun Ting was going back to the village tomorrow, so Yun Xue always had to go back to have a look.
The two are close to each other, which is really convenient, and it will not take long to arrive. Jinxiu and Yunni got the news and ran out to greet them, "Look at you, where is this still needed?" The two families are close to each other, and I don't know when I'll be back. Yun Xue smiled.
"When the aunt who went out went out went back to her parents' house, it was a big event, so she naturally had to welcome it." Yunni said with a deliberate smile.
"Your mouth is getting more and more unforgiving." Yun Xue stretched out her hand and was about to twist Yun Ni's cheek, but Yun Ni dodged it.
Everyone talked and laughed and came to the flower hall of the main courtyard, and saw Yun Ting and Yun Lei waiting inside, but they didn't see Yun Xia. "Where's Yunxia?" Yun Xue asked.
"I'm going to the palace with the eldest princess, the two of them are tired of living here, so they will go to the palace for a few days." These two little girls are now very chic and comfortable, and they live at opposite ends. "Maybe one day when they are happy, they will move to the eldest sister's house." Yunni laughed.
"That's better, I'm lonely and panicked alone in the Hou Mansion, if I am accompanied by their two little girls, it will be lively." Yun Xue thinks this is a good idea, so it is better to discuss it with Shen Hongjun one day.
"Yunting, you're going back to the village tomorrow? How many people to bring back with you? Are you ready for everything or something? When will you be back? Yun Xue turned her head and asked Yun Ting a series of questions.
Yun Ting smiled, and knew that the eldest sister came back today for these. "Brought four boys, a coachman. The coil has been prepared for a long time, and my sister-in-law brought a hundred taels, and I have it myself, which is enough. February 20 exam, I'll come back after the exam, isn't the second sister getting married on March 16? I've got to come back and get married. ”
"If the county has tried it, it will probably be in May, and the time will be in time, it doesn't matter. Sister, do you have anything you want me to do, or something you want me to bring back? Yun Ting answered one question after another, and then asked with a smile.
"In this case, I will send you a few more coachmen to help bring some gifts back to the village. Let's leave, but the affection of each family can't be forgotten, and it can be regarded as our intention to bring some things back from the capital. "Yun Xue is such a temper, she has received the favor of others, and she must never forget it.
When Yun Xue got married, the people in the village asked Wu Chunsheng and his wife to bring a lot of gifts, and now that Yun Ting has returned, Yun Xue naturally wants to send something in return. "By the way, you go back and talk to your aunt to see if they can come to the capital. It's not too busy in March, so let's see which one can come, so you can bring them all together. ”
Yun Ting nodded, "Okay, I know." "He knew the temper of the eldest sister, so he didn't say anything else.
"Jinxiu, it's better to let people send a letter to the uncle and aunt by the way, we moved to the capital, and we couldn't tell the aunt. When I got married a few years ago, it was indeed too much time, and I was afraid that Uncle Qian would not go home in the mountain field. If the letter was delivered, the aunt would still be in a hurry, so she didn't send the letter. ”
"This time, let people directly pick up the aunt's family, and don't let the uncle go to the mountain and water fields in the future. He is so old, and it is too sinful to toss like this. "Qian Mingyuan is not young, it should be a blessing. Now that Jinxiu is Mrs. Bo, she can't let him suffer so much anymore.
"Your two older brothers are also literate. I asked Zhiyuan to help keep an eye on it, and when the time comes, it is much better to find them an errand to do than in Anton. And your brother, it's better to come to the capital to study, maybe you can make a name for yourself. "Yun Xue has been thinking about it for the past few days, and it happened to be proposed today.
"That's right, sister-in-law, let the uncle's family move over, and it's convenient for you to go back to your parents' house or something in the future. The errands of the two elder brothers, with brother-in-law and Yunlin, where can they be arranged? Do you have to think about the children and grandchildren of future generations? Yunni also persuaded him.
Jinxiu was very hesitant, she didn't doubt Sister Yunxue's words at all. However, she felt that this was too much of a problem for others. When he married Yun Zhen, the Han family was not yet developed, and the two families could be said to be comparable. But now, the Han family has made a fortune, and the Qian family can no longer compare. Sometimes Jinxiu feels a little inferior, if she lets the eldest sister help the Qian family again, Jinxiu feels afraid that she will be disliked by the Han family in the future.
"Eldest sister, is this good?" Jinxiu asked in embarrassment.
Yun Xue raised her eyebrows, "Why is it not good?" If a woman marries well, she should share it to help her mother's family. Yunni, are you right? "She just likes this point of splendor, not arrogant, not arrogant. If it's the kind of person who has no one in his eyes once he gains power, Yun Xue promises that he won't take care of it.
"Isn't that what? Sister-in-law, my mother's family raised you, and now that we are doing well, we will naturally help if we can. Yun Ni also smiled and persuaded.
Even Yun Ting and Yun Lei agreed, and Jinxiu nodded, "Okay, then send someone to deliver the letter, to be honest, I miss them too." "There is no one who does not miss their relatives, especially now that life is better, and they miss their relatives even more.
Every time Jinxiu eats something good, she thinks that her father and mother have never seen this thing at all. If you can bring your mother's family to the capital and reunite the family, how good would it be? "Eldest sister, Yunni, thank you." Splendid sincere thanks.
Yun Xue waved her hand, "Family, don't say those stupid things." ”
Jinxiu smiled and didn't say anything more, just when a girl came over and said that Jiaye had woken up, Jinxiu hurriedly went to the back to see her son. Yun Xue instructed Yun Ting that he must be careful on the road, but he thought in his heart that he would ask Shen Hongjun to find a few people who know kung fu to escort Yun Ting back, so as to save the road from being unsafe.
The sisters and brothers chattered, and naturally the time passed quickly, and it was almost noon in a short time. At this time, I suddenly heard a girl's voice outside, "Uncle has returned home." ”
Then, Yun Zhen and Tianfu came in from outside, Yun Zhen saw Yun Xue, and was suddenly stunned, "Eldest sister, why did you come here?" I'm afraid my brother-in-law is looking for you right now. My brother-in-law is going on a campaign. Then, Yun Zhen said a shocking news.
This time it's Yun Xue's turn to be stunned, Zhiyuan is going to go on the expedition? No way? What's going on again? "Yun Zhen, tell me quickly, what's going on?" Yun Xue asked a little anxiously.
"It's still a matter of the southeast rebellion, the imperial court sent a large army to quell the rebellion, and when it fought against the rebels, it lost several battles in a row. The most recent battle was on the 29th day of the lunar month of the previous year, and the commander sent by the imperial court was killed by the rebels. Eight hundred miles of urgent report, I entered Beijing early this morning. ”
"The emperor was furious, and the Golden Palace sent his brother-in-law to the battle. As soon as I got off the morning court, my brother-in-law hurried home, probably coming back to tell you. It turns out that you are here, eldest sister, you better go back and have a look. The army went out to help my brother-in-law pack some clothes for use. Tianfu hurriedly explained.
Yun Xue nodded, "I see." "The emperor deliberately sent Shen Hongjun to the expedition a few years ago, but it was not easy to transfer troops and send generals after a few years. Unexpectedly, such a thing happened, and Shen Hongjun was bound to go on the expedition.
As a general's wife, Yun Xue naturally couldn't stop Shen Hongjun. "When will the army go out, but the date has been set?"
"On the twenty-second day of the first month, the army set out." Tianfu said, "Just now my brother-in-law told me to let me go too." The second brother won't go this time, his position as a commander is very important, and he can't lose it, so it's better to guard it in the capital. ”
Yun Zhen is already an earl, and although the position of the commander of the soldiers and horses is not big, it is very important. Shen Hongjun's meaning was naturally to let Yun Zhen stay in this position and not move easily. And Tianfu is still young, and he is a deputy envoy, so he is not worth being too nostalgic. It's better to fight again and earn a bigger official position back.
Tianfu also thought so, he didn't want to stop there. So as soon as Shen Hongjun brought it up, Tianfu agreed. In the next few days, Tianfu will go to the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War to handle relevant matters, and then follow Shen Hongjun on the expedition.
Yun Xue sighed, since she knew that Tianfu was going to embark on this path, she knew that her persuasion was useless. "You're young, and you're out on the road, so you can't be strong, you know?" She could only say a few words like this.
At this moment, Yun Xue naturally couldn't stay at her mother's house, so she hurriedly took people back to the Hou Mansion. "Yunting, early tomorrow morning, I will ask others to come directly to Bofu to wait for you, remember to wait for a while." When she had finished speaking, she walked out.
Before Yun Xue could go out of the flower hall, a mother-in-law came outside to report that Jing'an Hou was here. As soon as Yun Xue heard this, she knew that Shen Hongjun didn't find herself when she went home, and knew that she had returned to her parents' house, so she looked for her.
Yun Zhen hurriedly went out to greet him, and soon Shen Hongjun and Yun Zhen came in together.
"Xue'er, I'm going to go on an expedition, I'm sorry, it happened suddenly, and I can't help it." When Shen Hongjun saw Yun Xue, his first sentence was to apologize. He had promised Yun Xue before, saying that he would not go on the expedition, but he didn't expect to break his promise again today. Shen Hongjun felt a little sorry in his heart, they had only been married for a month.
"I was supposed to stay with you at my mother's house for the moon, but after such a fuss, I'm afraid you have to go back and help me pack my things." Yun Xue got married for a month, and according to the customs of the capital, she could go back to her parents' house to live for a while. At least three to five days, some can stay for a month.
Yun Xue shook her head, "It's okay, you are the Grand Governor, you command the soldiers and horses of the world, and it is your duty to lead the troops to the battle." How could I blame you for this? ”
