Li Xian smiled, and when he saw his mother glaring at him, Li Xian suddenly held his sister up high.

Yun Zhu was startled, and lowered her head to meet her brother's smiling eyes, she laughed and was disgusted: "Let me go quickly, I am pinched by you!" ”

Li Xian hurriedly put his sister away.

Yunzhu took his brother's hand and felt distressed all of a sudden: "Why are you so thin?" ”

Looking at the face is not obvious, and then looking at the younger brother's hands, they are as thin as bones, which hurts her.

Li Xian said helplessly: "The way into Beijing is too rushed, not only me, but the emperor has also lost a lot of weight." ”

Although there is an edict, if the new emperor does not enter Beijing for a day, there will be chaos in various places, so they rushed back almost day and night, and those who had a headache and brain fever also held on, and did not dare to delay time.

Yunzhu sighed: "It's good to come back, eat more in the past few days, and gain weight as soon as possible." ”

Li Xian nodded and looked at Gu Min who was not far away: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, it won't be long before there will be good news." ”

As for what the good news was, he believed that his sister-in-law could guess it.

Gu Min was quite reserved, and Meng Shi patted his daughter-in-law on the shoulder with relief.

Now, their family is reunited, and the daughter-in-law will soon be able to reunite with her mother's family, and double happiness is coming.

Chapter 85: "Thank You."

Today is not Xiu Mu, after talking to Emperor Xining as an uncle, Cao Xun went back to the Governor's Mansion to continue his errand.

It wasn't until dusk that Cao Xun left the Governor's Mansion.

Ah Jiu led the horse and waited outside the magnificent gate of the Governor's Mansion, and when he saw his master, he asked with a smile: "Madame must be in the Ningguo Mansion at this time, do you go home and change your clothes, or go straight over?" ”

Cao Xun: "Go straight over, you go back first." ”

Ah Jiu guessed that this would be the case, followed the master to a fork in the road, and then went their separate ways.

Cao Xun rode a horse to the alley where the Ningguo Mansion was located.

The summer days are long, the sun is so bright that you can't tell it's dusk, and there is curling smoke above the kitchen of the Ningguo Mansion.

Cao Xun watched around the corner for a while before urging the horse forward.

The porter greeted my uncle warmly, and then sent someone to spread the word inside.

Yunzhu's family was sitting in the hall, including Li Yao, who came back from duty two quarters of an hour earlier, and quickly took a shower and changed into regular clothes.

Knowing that his son-in-law was coming, Li Yong looked at the four juniors.

Li Xian and Gu Min stood up almost at the same time and prepared to go out to greet them, while Li Yao and Yun Zhu were still sitting on their chairs.

Facing his father's gaze, Li Yao said helplessly: "How many times has he been here, and he is not an outsider, as for letting me go out to pick him up every time?" ”

He is never polite to his own people, and only those who have an average relationship can use those false courtesies.

Without waiting for Li Yong to teach his eldest son a lesson, Gu Min directly pulled her husband up, of course, this is also Li Yao's willingness to cooperate with his wife, otherwise Gu Min, Yunzhu, and Li Xian may not be able to pull him together.

Yun Zhu and his brother had the same idea, but Gu Min had to go to greet Cao Xun, so Yun Zhu also went out with the three of them.

"Brother-in-law."

After meeting, Li Xiangong called.

Cao Xun smiled and patted the young man's shoulder: "I haven't seen you for a year, Brother Xian'er has grown a lot taller, but he is too thin, drink more tonic soup and raise it back quickly." ”

Gu Min continued: "Don't worry, my mother has already instructed the kitchen to go down and promise not to stew soup for the third brother every day." ”

Li Yao glared: "What are you, yours, he should call you sister-in-law." ”

Gu Min didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Everyone is in regular clothes, just Cao Xun is wearing the red official uniform of the metropolitan governor, majestic, Yunzhu can't help but say: "Why didn't you change your official uniform?" ”

Cao Xun looked at the little lady and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that I'll lose time, my father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't leave me food." ”

Yunzhu: "......"

Cao Xun went to salute his father-in-law and mother-in-law first.

In this kind of weather, Meng Shichai son-in-law must not be comfortable covering himself in an official uniform for a day, and asked his daughter: "Last time you came to stay, did you have any clothes left here in Fushan?" ”

It was the time of the Chinese New Year the year before last, where did Yunzhu remember.

Cao Xun said: "I kept two sets each season. ”

Meng Shi laughed when he heard it, when it was still the first month of the year, the son-in-law actually prepared four seasons clothes to bring over, it can be seen that he is ready to accompany his daughter back to her parents' house to live, but from last year's Dragon Boat Festival to this year, there have been a lot of things, and the son-in-law has never found a chance.

She instructed her daughter: "It's still early in the kitchen, you can take Fushan over to rest for a while." ”

The relationship between Yunzhu and Cao Xun is no longer natural during the new marriage, so it is not easy to ask him to go by himself.

Unexpectedly, Yunzhu was just about to stand up, Cao Xun casually pressed her back, and said with a smile: "I'll go by myself, my father-in-law will only come back, let Yunzhu talk to you more." ”

Yun Zhu thought to himself, he still regarded himself as the son-in-law of the Li family, who was serious about eight hundred, and he was not seen at all.

Cao Xun followed Forsythia away.

Li Yao looked at Gu Min and teased: "You are the daughter-in-law who married in, but you are not as calm as Uncle Guo's son-in-law when he came over." ”

Gu Min glared at him.

Meng Shi also disliked his son: "You are embarrassed to say that it is because you are not gentle and considerate enough to Amin that Amin is not as comfortable as in your mother's house when she is by your side." ”

Li Yao was unconvinced, and looked at his sister: "Yunzhu is not very considerate of Uncle Guo, right?" Just now, she didn't want to pick up people more than I did. ”

Meng: "Yunzhu and Fushan are husband and wife, they can't be close anymore, don't pay attention to these, you are the brother-in-law, and you must do your best when your sister-in-law comes." ”

Li Yao: "......"

Everyone said that after more than a quarter of an hour, Cao Xun came back, changed into a tea-white brocade robe, and when he turned to the door of the hall, he was illuminated by the sunlight cast from the west.

Yun Zhu, Gu Min, and Meng Shi were all stunned, and they were as rude as Li Yao's gods.

Waiting for Cao Xun to take a few steps in, out of the sunlight at the door, Yunzhu and the others retracted their gaze as if nothing happened.

Li Yao muttered in a low voice: "The thin skin and tender meat are not at all like the generals who have been in the border for more than ten years." ”

Li Yong kicked his son from under the table, his appearance was natural, and his son-in-law was clearly the same as him, both of them were Confucian generals, but it was a pity that his ability to lead the troops was not good, and he was not as good as his son-in-law's military achievements.

Li Yong beckoned his son-in-law to sit next to him, and his eldest son, Li Yao, had to sit under his son-in-law.

A family of seven people is not worth sharing a table, so Yunzhu is talking with her mother, sister-in-law, and younger brother, while listening to the sound of her brother constantly pouring Cao Xun to drink.

Cao Xun didn't drink with his brother-in-law, he drank a bowl slowly, and if Li Yao persuaded him again, he looked at the little lady opposite: "Yunzhu doesn't like me to drink, and I hope my eldest brother will understand." ”

Yunzhu's hanging eyelashes moved, and she continued to eat her own.

Li Yao subconsciously disliked Cao Xun: "You are a big man, you can't make your own decisions about drinking?" My sister also advised me before, but if I don't listen to her, she won't care. ”

Meng Shi smiled: "Fushan values your sister, so listen to your sister, unlike you, a real big man, Amin can't be your master at all." ”

Li Yao subconsciously wanted to nod, and when he caught a glimpse of his sister smiling there like watching a play, Li Yao reacted suddenly, and when he looked at his wife again, he saw that Gu Min seemed to slant at him rather resentfully.

Li Yao put down the wine bowl very hatefully and put this account on Cao Xun, what kind of sister-in-law, compare him to him once you come!

.

The reunion dinner of the Li family lasted from dusk to nightfall, and the laughter never stopped.

Li Yao later drank two more bowls of wine, and Yunzhu was in high spirits, and also drank two small glasses of fruit wine with his mother and sister-in-law, and his cheeks were red when he drank them, like a peony flower between pink and red.

Cao Xun could see clearly that she had laughed more times at this meal than in the past year.

"It's not early, you two will rest here tonight, anyway, you won't have to rest tomorrow, you don't have to get up early and rush back to change your official uniform."

Cao Xun helped the slightly drunk little lady and accepted the kindness of his mother-in-law.

After leaving the main courtyard, Cao Xun picked up Yunzhu.

The forsythia of the lantern was kept at a distance, so that the dim light could illuminate the path under Uncle Guo's feet, but it was not enough to illuminate Uncle Guo's face.

When Yunzhu looked up, what he saw was Cao Xun's blurred face.

She reached out and touched his chin and sneered, "Why don't you take me back to your house?" I wasn't allowed to live in my mother's house before, but now that the emperor has changed, I'm not afraid that people outside will say that you see the wind and make the rudder? ”

Cao Xun knew that although she could understand some of the practices at the time, she had been holding her breath in her heart.

If she wasn't drunk, she wouldn't have said it, but when she was drunk, she would have done what she wanted.

Cao Xun: "Let's just say it, I didn't plan to be an upright minister. ”

A truly upright and upright minister will give strict advice to Emperor Qianxing when he is studying in a wasteland, even if he angers Emperor Qianxing and is dismissed, he is not even afraid of dismissal, and he will not alienate his close friends or in-laws because of the emperor's likes and dislikes.

There are only a handful of such direct ministers in each dynasty, and more of them are sophisticated ministers who take a firm stand on major matters and turn a blind eye to small things.

Some courtiers are sophisticated, in order to facilitate their own talents to serve the court, and some courtiers are sophisticated, in order to be greedy for power and wealth to satisfy their own selfish desires.

Cao Xun never wanted to be a saint, just have a clear conscience.

He was so upright that Yunzhu had nothing to say.

Even if he is drunk, Yun Zhu also knows a truth, when a direct minister encounters a faint king, it usually does not end well.

So she didn't really anger Cao Xun for some expedient measures, she was aggrieved by the situation at that time.

Fortunately, everything has passed, and there will no longer be Xiao Dujun staring at their family to suppress them, and they no longer have to worry about anything happening to their brother and brother.

When Cao Xun was put on the bed, Yunzhu hooked his neck and said in his ear, "Thank you." ”

Without Cao Xun's audacity, there would be no safe reunion of their family.

Cao Xun lowered his head and kissed the top of her head.

.

Although Emperor Xining successfully rushed back to the capital to ascend the throne, but because the first emperor died suddenly, followed by Emperor Qianxing's reign for less than a year and then gone, Emperor Xining was only a fifteen-year-old young emperor, in the past four months, there were still some large and small turmoil in various parts of the Great Xia Dynasty, bandits were rampant in some places, and some local officials seemed to have different intentions, the southeast coast was flooded with Japanese bandits, and the Hu people in the north also had a comeback.

The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty changed so quickly, and the foreign countries would definitely think that this was an opportunity, plus some natural disasters that could not be prevented......

In order to deal with many internal and external troubles, Emperor Xining transferred Gu Lao back to the capital and re-assumed the post of first assistant.

Cao Xun recommended an anti-Japanese general, and Gu Shoufu recommended a disaster relief minister.

The southwest bandits were in turmoil, Emperor Xining sent Li Yao to suppress the bandits, the governor of Huguang had different intentions, and Emperor Xining asked the re-appointed Jinyi Guard commander Li Yong to investigate.
