Chapter 862

In January, it is still cold.

Zao Zao stood at the door and exhaled and rubbed his hands before entering the room. As he walked, he took off the cloak he was wearing.

There is nothing to do today, Yunqing asked Yuxi to go back to the backyard to rest. When Zao Zao came in, Yu Xi was sitting at the table reading a book, very seriously.

Zao Zao called out "Mother", which startled Yu Xi. Yu Xi scolded: "You child, why are you walking so silently?"

Zao Zao smiled and said, "Mother, it's not that I walk silently, it's because you are too absorbed." Once her mother is absorbed in reading, she can forget everything.

Yuxi put the red leaf in the book, put it aside casually, and then asked with a smile: "What's the matter here at noon?"

Zao Zao walked over and put her arms around Yu Xi's shoulders and said, "Mother said that, as if I can't find you if I have nothing to do."

Yu Xi patted Zao Zao's hand and said: "You were born by me, how can I not know you? Tell me, what's the matter?" This girl belongs to the people who don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

Zao Zao rolled her eyes when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Mother, since that's the case, can you guess what I want from you?"

Yuxi laughed: "It's still a matter of guessing. Knowing that there will be a war in Guizhou in the spring, you can't bear it and want to go too." With just that little thought, she saw through it at a glance.

Zao Zao laughed straight, and said: "Mother is really amazing, I can know everything I want. Mother, I will go back to the barracks when I figure out the first month." Her mother is so smart, she can't hide anything, so if something happens, It's better to get straight to the point.

Yuxi shook her head and said, "No."

Zaozao's face suddenly collapsed, but she also knew that Yuxi was soft and not hard, so she deliberately pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Mother, you said before that you hoped that I would become a veritable female general. Mother, why don't you Let me go, how can I make contributions and become a female general?"

Yu Xi poked Zao Zao's forehead, and said: "It's not that you're not allowed to go, it's just that it will be later." This girl has grown up, and she even knows how to use mourning soldiers for her.

Zao Zao immediately asked, "Mother, when will it be? It won't be good if you go too late."

Yuxi smiled and said: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Don't say anything, let this girl be anxious.

Zao Zao shook Yuxi vigorously, and said, "Mother, just tell me! Mother, just tell me!" It's a trick of acting like a baby.

Yu Xi hurriedly pushed her away, stood up and said: "Don't shake her anymore, this old bone of my mother will fall apart."

Zao Zao laughed straight: "Nonsense, mother looks younger and more beautiful than me, so she is old! Mother, tell me when you can go."

Yu Xi scolded with a smile: "Younger and more beautiful than you? You're not ashamed to say that. Look in the mirror and see what you look like?" Pretty doesn't match Zao Zao at all.

Zaozao was not angry either, and said cheerfully, "You don't need to look in the mirror, just look at Dad to know what I look like."

Yuxi couldn't resist Zaozao's obsession, and said: "This time your father is going to personally send troops to attack Guizhou, and then you will go with your father." Following Yunqing, Zaozao can learn more things. It's not that Du Zheng and others don't teach, it's just that they don't have the heart of a real father like Yun Qing.

Zao Zao was overjoyed when he heard this, he was so happy to be able to go to war with his father.

Seeing Zao Zao's joyful look, Yu Xi warned her: "This matter has not been announced to the public, so don't tell anyone else."

Zao Zao smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry! My mouth is tighter than an oyster, and I won't tell anyone." Obviously, Brother Hao is not in the scope of what she said.

After knowing this, Brother Hao was very envious, and said to Yuxi: "Mother, I also want to go out with my father."

Yu Xi refused without even thinking about it: "No,

You are still young, wait until you are older. "The eight-year-old child went to the expedition with him, it was just a slap in the face.

Although it was expected, Brother Hao was still a little disappointed.

In the afternoon, Lu Xiu came to visit Yuxi. After not seeing her for a while, Yu Xi felt that Lu Xiu was much rounder. That's right, the Ye family went to Jiangnan after losing the Qiu family. Now Lu Xiu only needs to worry about her eldest son's marriage and has nothing else to worry about, so she naturally has a big heart.

After saying some homely things, Yuxi asked: "Brother Shun is seventeen years old, is his marriage settled?" , Marriage two years later is also a success.

Lu Xiu nodded with a smile and said, "The eldest girl from Governor Liu's family is pretty good. I want to ask someone to pass a message to Mrs. Liu in the next year to see what Mrs. Liu means."

My family knew their own affairs, Han Jiashun was not very good at martial arts, it would be difficult for him to have a good future in the army with his skills, so it would be better to follow the text than this. Given their family background, donating officials is not difficult. Liu Biyuan is a civil servant. Although he didn't study much, he has a very good future. If you decide on the girl from the Liu family, Master Liu will definitely take care of his son. Of course, Liu Yue met Lu Xiu's eyes and met her requirements for a daughter-in-law. Otherwise, no matter how old Liu Biyuan was, she would not have married this family.

Yuxi asked: "You mean Liu Yue?" Liu Yue is Liu Biyuan's eldest daughter.

Seeing Lu Xiu nod her head, Yuxi said: "Since you picked him, I think he has something special." Liu Biyuan was a donated official and didn't have much education, but her wife came from a scholarly family. In my memory, Mrs. Liu was a soft-spoken and very kind woman. As for Liu Yue's appearance and temperament, Yu Xi has no impression.

Lu Xiu said with a smile: "That girl has a breezy temper, and she's very kind to me."

Yuxi smiled and said: "Not only must you have a temper, but you must also like Brother Shun. This couple will live a lifetime. If Brother Shun doesn't like it, it will harm the two children."

Lu Xiu nodded and said: "I asked that child, and the child said that the parents are the masters of the marriage, as long as I think it's good." Brother Shun also believed in Lu Xiu's eyes.

Being able to say this means that Brother Shun has no objection to this marriage. Yuxi smiled and said: "Brother Shun is a filial child."

Lu Xiu immediately complimented: "In terms of filial piety, no one can compare to the princess and the eldest son. No one in this city knows that the princess is the best at teaching children. Each of the children is more filial than the other. It’s beyond enviable."

Yu Xi shook her head and said: "What filial piety, just that girl Zao Zao, she has never let me worry about her for a day when she grows up so big. Now it's all about joining the army, you say she is domineering and has nothing to do with girls Who would dare to marry?"

Lu Xiu couldn't answer this question for a while, just like Zao Zao, marriage in the future is really a big problem. After a while, Lu Xiu said with a smile: "The princess is like a princess, and women don't give way to men."

Yuxi smiled, and she broke the topic and said: "A few days ago, I received a letter from my elder brother, saying that my mother has recovered a lot. In the past, my mother would cough every time the seasons changed. Last year, this old problem did not recur."

Lu Xiu really didn't know about this: "It is said that Jiangnan raises people, but now it seems that it is true."

While talking, Meilan raised her voice and said, "Princess, the prince is back."

After Lu Xiu greeted Yun Qing, she went back.

Before Yunqing could ask, Yuxi took the initiative to say: "The second sister-in-law just came to chat with me about the family affairs, and also talked about Brother Shun's marriage. The second sister-in-law fell in love with Liu Biyuan's eldest daughter, and wanted to hire Brother Shun , ask for my opinion."

Yun Qing has a good feeling for Lu Xiu. In the past ten years, Lu Xiu has never had a moth, and he has taken good care of the Han family: "Although Liu Biyuan didn't study much, he is a transparent person." Otherwise, the husband and wife would not be able to reuse him, and in his early 40s he had reached the position of governor of the second rank.

Yuxi hummed and said: "Liu Biyuan is smooth, but he has his own set of principles in dealing with things. I think the second sister-in-law probably wanted to hire the eldest girl of the Liu family because of this, so that Brother Shun can get Mrs. Liu in the future." pointed out."

Yun Qing laughed when he heard this, and said, "That's right, elder brother is still the governor of Jiangnan?"

Yuxi shook her head and said, "How can a nephew be the same as a son-in-law?" Han Jianming himself has several sons, and he is always busy, so he has no time to give advice to Brother Shun.

Hearing Yu Xi's order, Yun Qing asked a little strangely: "They are also the daughters-in-law of the Han family, why is there such a big gap?"

Yuxi understood what Yunqing meant, and said: "Twenty years ago, the Ye family was very powerful, and the Ye family fell only after the death of Master Ye. Grandmother decided to give the elder brother the order because she liked the power of the Ye family. My next sister-in-law." In the eyes of the old lady, family background comes first, and character is not important.

After a pause, Yuxi said: "I chose the second sister-in-law, and my mother made the decision after seeing it well." She was about to talk about the entanglement between the Ye family and Lu Xiu.

Yun Qing smiled and said: "So it's your credit, I just said when my mother-in-law's eyesight is so good." It's not that he said bad things about Qiu Shi, Qiu Shi is really not a competent mistress. Otherwise, Mrs. Ye would not have made so many moths.

This said, it is inevitable to think of things when I was a child. Yuxi said: "Although I didn't have to worry about food and clothing when I was young, my father didn't love me and my grandmother didn't like me. The only person who cared and loved me in Han's house was my second brother. Every time he came back from outside, he would bring me delicious and fun things. , no matter what I want him to do, as long as he can do the Tao, it’s all right.” It was also because of this friendship that Han Jianye almost killed her that day, and Yuxi didn’t blame him or bear any grudges.

It was the first time Yunqing heard about these things, and asked: "What about the mother and the elder brother? Don't they care about you?"

Yuxi shook her head and said: "It's not that they didn't care, but they had their own things to do at that time. Besides, I'm a child of the second room, so it's inconvenient for them to intervene, and it's my mother's blessing that I can eat and live like other sisters."

Yunqing hugged Yuxi and said, "You have suffered." Thinking that he lived happily and freely before the age of ten, the only worry was that he would be punished by his husband and grandfather if he didn't finish his homework. But Yuxi lived in fear when she was a child, so it's no wonder she became so thoughtful.

Yu Xi smiled and said, "Mama said that I was bitter before sweet, and I think that's very true." In this life, it was bitter first and then sweet, but in the last life, it was bitter from beginning to end, and finally died miserably.

In fact, Yuxi also suffered a lot when she married him, and she didn't have a few days of peace of mind. But Yu Xi was very satisfied with such a day, which made Yun Qing feel very guilty and pity him even more. Yun Qing said solemnly: "I won't let you suffer again in the future."

Yuxi nodded and said, "I believe it."

After the first lunar month, Yunqing had to prepare for the expedition, and the government affairs returned to Yuxi's hands. Yuxi started her busy life again. Fortunately, her work and rest schedules are very reasonable, and she is supervised by Nunnies Quan, so Yun Qing has nothing to worry about.

The closer the day of the expedition came, the more Yunqing was reluctant to part with Yuxi. This day after the husband and wife were lingering, Yun Qing hugged Yu Xi and said: "I won't go anywhere after the war, I will stay with you every day."

Yu Xi immediately said: "After this expedition, you can only personally lead the troops twice more. If there are too many, I won't obey." One time was to attack Beiyao, and the other time was to attack the capital.

Yun Qing regretted talking too much just now: "Only twice?"

Yuxi hummed and said: "When the capital is conquered, you will be in charge of the capital at that time, and it is not appropriate to lead the troops yourself." After defeating the capital, Yunqing will become the emperor, and this emperor cannot just take over by himself.

Yun Qing hurriedly said: "There is still Liaodong! After Liaodong is conquered, I will not lead troops to go out again."

Yuxi snorted and said, "Liaodong is Yan Wushuang's lair, and it won't last ten or eight years. Do the math, how old will you be by then?" What is strong.

Yun Qing thought about it too, and said: "Then let Ah Hao lead the army to go out." Ten years later, Ah Hao will be eighteen years old, and he can lead the army to fight.

Yuxi didn't object to this: "The opportunity should be handed over to young people." Of course, no matter how smart Ahao is at any age, he doesn't have enough qualifications and combat experience to be a coach, but he can still be a deputy commander. of.

The couple talked for a long time before falling asleep.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day when Yunqing set out to fight. It's a good day to go out for an expedition. The sun is windy and beautiful.

Yun Qing was wearing a sapphire blue dress, a belt of the same color around his waist, and a mink fur cloak with dark purple cloud pattern on the outside. Riding on a horse, with a straight face and a domineering manner.

Zao Zao was wearing her silver-gray armor, riding a big bay red horse, with a smile on her face.

The father and daughter look the same, but their expressions are completely opposite. Yu Xi looked at them, and for some reason, the worry in her heart dissipated a lot.

Zao Zao waved at Yu Xi and his group and said, "Mother, Ah Hao, Dad and I will be back soon." After speaking, he said to Yun Qing, "Dad, let's go!"

Yun Qing looked at Yu Xi and said: "Pay attention to your body, don't get tired anymore." He was as free and easy as Zao Zao when he was on the expedition before, but now he is very reluctant.

Yuxi nodded with a smile and said: "You should also take care of your health, and eat three meals regularly."

Zao Zao felt that Yu Xi talked too much, but she didn't dare to interrupt Yu Xi's words.

Brother Rui said: "Father, I will go out with you to fight the enemy next time." Seeing that Zao Zao can go to war with Yun Qing, Brother Rui is so envious and jealous! Cough, it's a pity that he was born a few years late, otherwise he would have followed suit.

Brother Hao said: "Father, Eldest Sister, Mother, I, and Ah Rui are waiting for your good news at home."

Zao Zao waved his hands and said: "Don't worry, it will be soon." After finishing speaking, he said to Yun Qing: "Father, it's time to go, or it will be too late."

Yun Qing glanced at Yu Xi, then pinched the horse's belly with his foot, and left. Zao Zao followed behind.

After the group left, a cloud of dust was raised. (to be continued)
