Chapter 125: Preparation

On the night of the war in the north, Chu Lian, who had always slept early and slept beautifully, didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night.

Tossing and turning on the soft pillow of the high bed, the sleepiness that had hit her early seemed to have run away that night, and she was not summoned for a long time.

Chu Lian was helpless in the end, lying flat in the quilt, staring at the dark tent with his eyes wide open in the dark.

Although she had read the original book, many things had changed by now, and not everything in the book was explained clearly.

For example, in the war in the north, Chu Lian only knew about it, whether she lost or won in the end, and if she won, how she won, she didn't know any of this.

Although she wants to be a rice worm that doesn't care about anything and make some money by making food, the premise is that everything in Jing'anbo Mansion must be fine, if Jing'anbo Mansion is in turmoil, then her identity as a three-room and three-grandmother is nothing.

Besides, except for the Zou family, she likes the other relatives in Jing'anbo Mansion very much, and she doesn't want to see them hurt and sad, or even sacrifice for the sake of the family.

Chu Lian closed her eyes, as if she was making a decision, and when her clear apricot eyes opened again, even in the dark, it seemed to make people feel that there was a sea of stars reflected in it.

Since she had been under the wing of her elders for so long, she would not flinch at all when it was time for her to bear it.

After figuring it out, Chu Lian no longer tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, she closed her eyes gently, and it didn't take a moment for her breathing to be smooth and long.

The geese who kept vigil in the ear room outside could not hear the sound inside, and lay down to rest with peace of mind.

The next day, Chu Lian, who had always liked to lie in bed, actually got up by himself without the maids shouting.

As soon as Mama Zhong came in, she saw Chu Lian change into a pink short fight for practice, her long black and silky hair tied up high, and a ponytail hung down to her waist.

Mama Zhong opened her mouth and calmed down for a while before finding her voice: "Third grandma, why are you doing this...... Dressed in this outfit?"

Chu Lian straightened his hair, moved his arms and legs twice, put on his riding boots, and then looked up at Mama Zhong and smiled: "Morning exercise!"

Mama Zhong's face instantly turned the color of pork liver, "Morning...... Morning exercise?"

I only know that when the previous male masters were in the house, they would have the habit of practicing early in the morning, especially the third young master, almost rain or shine, that is because the Jing'an Bofu is a family of military generals, and being an official and entering the court depends on their skills. The delicate third grandmother, a girl who is only fifteen years old, has not yet taken off the baby fat on her face, saying that she wants to exercise in the morning, doesn't she want to make people laugh off her big teeth?

Xi Yan, they didn't say that the third grandmother knew martial arts!

Songtao Yuan has a special martial arts arena and practice room, which used to be used by He Changdi in the house, but now Chu Lian is also convenient to use.

Seeing that Chu Lian was really going to wear so thin, Mama Zhong hurriedly took a fox fur cloak from the screen shelf next to her and wanted to put it on her.

"Third grandma, now that it's winter, my daughter's family can't go out to freeze with so little clothing. ”

Chu Lian hurriedly pushed the cloak away. Just kidding, how can you run in such a thick fox fur.

"Mama Zhong, don't worry, it's okay, it's cold now, and it won't be cold when you run away later." ”

After speaking, regardless of Mama Zhong holding the fox fur and shouting behind, Chu Lian walked out of the main room quickly, and when he arrived at the courtyard, the cold air invaded instantly, Chu Lian rubbed his arms, exhaled white air, and ran around the courtyard.

Mama Zhong saw that the third grandmother was wearing so little and ran up in the yard, and she was in a hurry to chase after her, but she was stopped by Wen Lan who had just come out of the flower hall.

"What are you stopping me from doing, why don't you chase back your third grandmother soon! Madame and the old lady are not in good health now, if the third grandmother has any problems, how can it be good!"

Ask Lan pursed her lips and shook her head, she is a practitioner in the end, she knows more than Mama, and asked Lan and said coldly: "Mama, it's okay, the third grandmother is good for her body to run like this, Mama, don't worry, you go to the small kitchen to urge the morning food, give me the cloak, I'm here to watch the third grandma." ”

Seeing that she couldn't resist Chu Lian and Wen Lan, Mama Zhong stomped her feet, stuffed the fox fur in her hand into Wen Lan's arms, and walked away angrily.

I hadn't exercised like this for many days, and I started to catch up after running for a while.

Chu Lian slowed down and adjusted his breathing as much as he could.

Actually, she figured it out last night.

Her current idea is very simple, since she has decided to go to the north by herself, then she must first adjust her body.

In modern times, she is half a traveler and understands the importance of a healthy and strong body.

And now that I have decided to travel far, I have to try to make myself healthier, I heard that if you go north, it will be very cold after the Longhang Basin.

The cold there is not comparable to the cold of Shengjing City. Listening to the well-informed old servant in the house, a spit can immediately freeze when it falls to the ground.

If Chu Lian's body is still as delicate and weak as it is now, not to mention the fatigue of the journey, he will not be able to hold on to it after the Longxing Basin, whether it is the war in the north or the search for the flower of the snow-capped mountain, it cannot be delayed.

Without a good body, when the time comes, going to the north will only be a drag for Jing'anbo Mansion.

Thinking like this, Chu Lian's determination also became firmer.

After a while, Wen Lan actually changed his clothes and followed.

Chu Lian was puzzled, and glanced at this Nizi with a question in his eyes.

Wen Lan pursed her lips and said, "Third grandmother, the slave maid is with you." ”

Chu Lian laughed and nodded.

When he felt his limit, Chu Lian slowly stopped, and was helped by Wen Lan to go to the practice room.

After enduring it for a long time, Lan finally couldn't hold it back, "Third Grandma, why did you suddenly want to run?

Chu Lian was stunned, wiped the sweat on his forehead with a wet towel from Xiyan's hand, looked at Wen Lan, shook his head and nodded, and finally had to explain: "I just want to learn a trick and a half to keep fit." ”

Chu Lian originally had a lot of strange thoughts on weekdays, and she didn't ask Lan much, she thought about it for a while, and said, "Since the third grandmother has this idea, why don't you teach the third grandmother a few moves to defend herself?"

Chu Lian really wanted to slap her thigh, oops, how could she forget that Wen Qing and Lan knew kung fu, although she had also learned a few self-defense techniques in modern times, how could she compare with Wen Qing and Lan like this, if they were to guide her, not to mention one hit five, she would at least have some self-protection power in the face of extremely vicious gangsters.

So, Chu Lian spent the time in the practice room before asking for peace.

It was like this for several days in a row, every day Chu Lian got up before dawn, started to run in the yard after a little food, and then followed Wen Qing Wenlan to learn a trick and a half in the practice room, and after an hour, he used the morning food to go to Qinghui Hall to greet Mrs. He.

Every day, there are guards from the Jin Palace's Mansion to deliver news from the north to Jing'anbo Mansion.

Mrs. He's face became more and more solemn, and He Changqi went out early and returned late to inquire about the situation in the court.

The imperial court is still helpless.

Finally, on this day, Mrs. He couldn't sit still anymore, she patted Chu Lian's hand beside her, and told Mama Zhou to find He Changqi.

Chu Lian looked at her expression, his face moved, and he said, "Grandmother, do you want your eldest brother to go to the north?"

Old Taijun He turned her head to look at Chu Lian in some surprise, then paused, and smiled bitterly, "It turns out that Lian'er and grandmother thought together." The court can't think of a way, but our He family can't sit idly by, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, my wife will not give up. Saburo ...... San Lang is still young, only twenty years old!"

The sons of Jing'an Bofu are precious, and they are all passed down from generation to generation, and it is not easy for He Changdi's generation to have three sons. It is a great pity that the old uncle died on the battlefield, and now everyone except Da Lang is in the army. Saburo has only been married for a long time, and he hasn't even had a post! How can he watch that child sacrifice.

Old Taijun He's eyes were red, a pair of old eyes were full of tears, Chu Lian swallowed his saliva, and then said, "Grandmother, let me go to the north!"

Before Mrs. He's tears flowed out, she was frightened by Chu Lian's words. She looked at Chu Lian in shock, "San Lang's daughter-in-law, what did you say?"

Chu Lian looked at Mrs. He seriously, her clear apricot eyes were as bright as stars, and she was very resolute. She repeated what she had just said: "Grandmother, let me go to the North, there is no one more suitable than me." The eldest brother has to take care of the house, and he can't leave Beijing, and besides, she still has errands, and the two nieces are not very old, and the men in our family are outside, so the eldest brother can't go anymore. ”

Only then did Mrs. He hear that what Chu Lian said was true, she was stunned for a moment, then held Chu Lian's hand, and said in a deep voice: "No, how can a daughter of yours go to a barren land like the north!"

Chu Lian had already guessed that Mrs. He would object, so she slowed down her voice and said: "Grandmother, you are a heroine among women, didn't you also follow your grandfather to southern Xinjiang when you were young? You know best, our daughters are no worse than men, and at critical times, we women can also hold up half the sky! The eldest brother can't leave the capital, it's not up to us to decide, it's the emperor!"

Although Mrs. He is not from a Jiangmen family, she has been on the border with Lao Jing Anbo since she married Lao Jing Anbo. I heard my mother-in-law, Mrs. Jing Anbo, say that Mrs. He was full of wisdom when he was young, and he can be regarded as the wise trust of Lao Jing Anbo. In several death-to-death battles with the people of southern Xinjiang, Lao Jing Anbo narrowly won and escaped death because of the old lady's clever tricks.

Chu Lian's words woke up Mrs. He.

The children of the He family are all outside, and the reason why He Dalang wants to be idle in Beijing is not just for the sake of the heirs of the He family, but more for the emperor's will.

Jing Anbo is a general in the border area, father and son cannot be in the same army, and the son must wait until Jing Anbo retires from Mingzhou, and He Changqi, as the eldest son, stayed in Beijing more because of his proton-like existence, which is to reassure the emperor.

Since it is such an identity, how can it be possible to leave Beijing!
