Chapter 50: A Woman's Whisper

Wu Xiao looked up and saw that Yan Nu on the beam of the room was looking at them curiously, her eyes were hot, and she was still panting.

"Yan Nu came down, when did you climb up and how long have you been watching?" Wu Xiao asked angrily

"Don't ask, let her go out first" Hongyu covered his face with the quilt and whispered shyly

Yan Nu looked at Wu Xiao twice, lowered her head and walked out, Wu Xiao looked at her helplessly, and shouted when she saw her go to the door: "Close the door"

Wu Xiao stretched out his head and saw that Yan Nu was gone, so he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Wu Xiao with a frown. Wu Xiao lay down on his back and let out a sigh.

"How old is Yan Nu?" Wu Xiao asked

"You don't remember it, she's almost seventeen," Redfish said cautiously

"Let's take a look again, I'll go back and reprimand her" Wu Xiao turned sideways and hugged the red fish

"Okay, okay, he's a girl, just tell her, don't be too ruthless," Redfish laughed

The two spoke a few more words and slowly fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Hongyu got up early, cooked by himself, made a few dishes that Wu Xiao loved to eat, and then asked Wu Xiao to get up, this sleep was so good, Wu Xiao hadn't rested like this for a long time.

Wu's mother put the food in the small hall on the second floor, Hongyu also followed, Wu Xiao also came up after washing in the yard for a while, and saw that Yan Nu's door was still closed, and after half knocking for a few days, Yan Nu came out to open the door, but obviously she had already gotten up and was already dressed.

"Eat" Wu Xiao said, Yan Nu followed, Hongyu handed her a pair of chopsticks, and the three of them ate breakfast together.

"In the future, you won't be allowed to be like yesterday, the eldest girl's family can't peek at these shameful things," Hongyu whispered to Yan Nu

Yan Nu glanced at her, took a bite of the bun and said, "Why can you and him do it, I can't see it."

Hongyu was speechless for a while, and didn't know what to say, Yan Nu had little contact with outsiders, and she was usually elusive, and she never had a chance to teach her about these daughters' affairs, and when Yan Nu had menarche, Hongyu didn't know at all.

Later, it was Yan Nu who came to ask Hongyu, and Hongyu taught her how to deal with it, it seems that these people Wu Xiaoguang trained him to be a killer, forgetting that she has grown into a girl.

"I like your brother Xiao, and your brother Xiao also likes me, what can we do, but you can't" Hongyu thought carefully about his words.

"I like Brother Xiao too, and Brother Xiao likes me too," Yan Nu said stubbornly

Redfish was a little dumbfounded: "But, it's not what I like"

"Which kind of like, you two are so inexplicable, are there several different likes?" Yan Nu asked

Wu Xiao couldn't listen to it anymore, so he reached out and knocked her: "If you can't say it, it's not okay, it's so much trouble, you haven't grown up yet, you don't know it, you will talk about it when you grow up, and you are not allowed to peek in the future."

Yan Nu was in pain and shrank a little, Hongyu hurriedly stepped forward to hold her head and rubbed it, reproaching: "Xiaoxiao, talk well, don't beat people at every turn"

Yan Nu stood up, glanced at the two of them, and said unconvinced: "Got it", and then took two buns and went out.

At noon, Wu Xiao came to the pavilion of the Ministry of War, checked the food and lodging of the guards in Mobei, allowed them to go to the street for a stroll, but did not allow trouble, and told the officials of the pavilion to entertain him, so he pulled Li Mao out.

The two found a secluded restaurant, ordered a few side dishes, and two pots of wine, and drank it.

"Dashuai faced the saint yesterday, you can talk about it according to the words I wrote," Li Mao asked

"That's it, it's just very sour," Wu Xiao said with a sip of wine

"Eh, Dashuai, this is the way of officials, you have to get used to it," Li Mao earnestly taught.

"Why didn't I see you slap my ass, but I asked me to slap someone else's ass," Wu Xiao said

"Isn't it because you haven't gotten used to it yet, I'm afraid of being slapped on the horse's leg," Li Mao said with a smile

"He took back the talisman and the seal, what should we do next?" Wu Xiao asked

"I have a few old friends in the capital, and they can talk to the officials of the long department, as well as a few servants of the Privy Council, and the lower officials have gone out for a walk these days."

He paused and said, "We have a lot of silver from Mobei, and I believe it is enough."

"What about the other towns?" Wu Xiao asked

"I have written the letter, the handsome man has made a payment, and added a private seal, I will send someone to send it out" Li Mao took out a stack of letters from his arms, and Wu Xiao accepted it

"Hexi's letter, I'll write it, and I'll hand it over to you together," Wu Xiao added.

"Does the marshal have any familiar officials in Beijing?" asked Li Mao

"There are a few, I can visit them," Wu Xiao said

"No, it's better for the marshal to stay out of the door, and it is more appropriate to visit again if he is summoned," Li Mao said

Wu Xiao looked at him, then agreed, the two talked about some other details, Li Mao went on his own, and Wu Xiao returned to Shoushan Hall.

Hongyu was waiting for him, and when he came back, he hurriedly pulled him upstairs, and Hongyu took out Qiu Shiliang's gift and showed it to Wu Xiao.

"I forgot yesterday, Gonggong Qiu sent it, and there is a letter, you can take a look" Hongyu said

Wu Xiao smiled after checking it: "This husband Xi, he really hides a lot of good things."

"Oh, you're still laughing, I'm scared to death," Redfish said

"What are you worried about, take it with peace of mind, this is very important to you, and it should be, I will deal with the rest" Wu Xiao said with a smile

"Can you really take it, no, it's hard for you, right?" Redfish didn't believe it

"Don't worry, there's nothing difficult to do, don't be polite with this father-in-law, I still have a lot of accounts to settle with him" Wu Xiao said coldly

In the next few days, in addition to handing over the letter to Li Mao, Wu Xiao closed the door, and there were obviously more idle people outside the Shoushan Hall.

Yan Nu has been observing coldly, and asked Wu Xiao for instructions at night if she wanted to clean them all up, and Wu Xiao asked her not to act rashly.

Ten days later, I received an invitation from Mrs. An Guo to invite Wu Xiao and Hongyu to Fengyang Pavilion for a banquet, and Wu Xiao knew in his heart that he still had to come.

At night, the two of them were dressed neatly, and Hongyu rarely dressed up deliberately, but today she looked so beautiful that Wu Xiao was a little crazy.

She wore a set of aqua blue long skirts, her black hair was pulled into a cloud sideburns, and two steps were inserted in the same direction, and some light rouge was wiped on her face.

She originally had a good complexion, her face was very ruddy, and with a little bit of blush, she looked young and energetic, like a affectionate twenty-eight girl, standing lightly, she had fireworks, and there were no fireworks.

"Look, look, let's go" Hongyu smiled happily, pulled Wu Xiao out of the door, got into the carriage, and the coachman slowly walked towards Beicheng.

In the small hall on the second floor of Fengyang Pavilion, the lights are soft, and the small tables in the hall come up one after another to compete for exquisite dishes, and the four palace maids hold wine jugs to pour wine for the four people on the table.

Tonight, Mrs. Anguo specially feasted Wu Xiao and Hongyu, and invited the old general to accompany her, Mrs. Anguo liked it very much when she saw Hongyu, and pulled her up and down, which was very intimate.

Hongyu also likes Mrs. Anguo very much, the two women are very close to each other, and the general is very interested in Wu Xiao's battle of Mobei, and asked in detail about the details of the day, the rear strategy of command and arrangement, nodding his head frequently, and praising that even if he is in charge of the army, he may not have this strange strategy.

Mrs. Anguo also frequently praised Wu Xiao for being young and promising, young and successful, and living up to expectations.

Towards the end, Mrs. An Guo said: "Ximing, I like this child very much, and it happens that your eldest sister is also here today, how about I tell you about a family affair?"

Although he had expected it, Hongyu's expression was still stiff when he heard this, and Wu Xiao had no extra expression.

Mrs. Anguo continued: "I really want to marry my daughter to him when I arrive, but the younger daughter is still young, and the emperor has a daughter, who is over fifteen years old, and her temperament is also quiet, just matching Ximing, I don't know what the eldest sister wants?"

Wu Xiao has no father or mother, only Hongyu has an eldest sister, who is the eldest sister of the married celestial affairs, so Mrs. An Guo asked her first.

Hongyu couldn't answer for a while, he looked sideways at Wu Xiao, Wu Xiao also glanced at her, Hongyu took a deep breath and said, "Madam, can you make a preface in the inner hall?"

Mrs. Anguo looked at her, she didn't know what to do for a while, she didn't know what the hell this sister and brother were doing, Wu Xiao also looked at her suspiciously, this was not a pre-discussed statement.

"Okay, you come with me, the old general and Ximing will eat first" Mrs. An Guo left the table after speaking, pulled the red fish, and was led by the two palace maids, and went to the back court.

Wu Xiao and the old general looked at each other, and the old general said, "Xiaoximing, this is not child's play!"

Wu Xiao lowered his head, and said after a while: "Leave it to fate"
