Chapter 1049 Jujube Who Narrowly Escaped Death (2)

Zao Zao didn't come back for Chinese New Year, everyone always felt that something was missing. This time when Zao Zao came back, the whole family gathered together for a reunion dinner.

When Brother Rui saw Zao Zao, he pulled her aside and asked about the bandit suppression. Zao Zao didn't mind being bothered, and answered Brother Rui's many questions.

Zao Zao is very good at telling stories. This time it was about her personal experience again, not only the triplets were fascinated, even Qi Hao and Liu Er were also engrossed in listening.

Yuxi walked over, and interrupted Zaozao with a smile: "Dinner is ready, we can talk about it later." Since the first big talk was exposed, Zaozao was more pertinent when he talked about war again, unlike before. up.

Zao Zao raised his hands and said cheerfully: "If you want to know what will happen next, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down."

Yuxi laughed and scolded: "I'll break it down next time. Do you think you are a storyteller? Wash your hands and eat quickly." Seeing the siblings chatting and laughing, Yuxi felt that no matter how tired she was, it was worth it.

The lunch was very rich, and most of the dishes on the table were Zao Zao's favorites. But the siblings have similar tastes. Zao Zao likes it, and Brother Rui and the others also like it.

Pointing to a big vacant piece in the middle of the dining table, Zao Zao asked: "Mother, is there any food that hasn't been served?"

Yuxi was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Can you guess?"

Brother Xuan curled his lips, saying that this is not difficult at all: "There is no need to guess, it must be a roasted whole lamb."

Seeing Yuxi nodding, Zaozao was very happy, and said while sitting: "I have baked it a few times in the army, but the taste is always not as good as the one at home."

Brother Xuan also stayed in the Thousand Guards Camp, and the food in the Thousand Guards Camp was much better than other armies. However, according to Brother Xuan, the cook at Qianweiying's cooking is similar to pig food: "The ingredients at home are complete, and the cook's craftsmanship is also top-notch. The taste must be better."

Just as they were talking, Mei Lan and Jing Bai brought up the roasted whole lamb. The lamb was just roasted, and it could still hear the chugging sound when it was placed on the table.

Seeing that Meilan was taking a knife to cut mutton, Zaozao stood up and said, "Sister Meilan, I'll come." After speaking, she took out the precious knife that never leaves her body.

"Shua, Shua, Shua..." Everyone saw the knife flying in front of their eyes, and cut eight plates of mutton in the blink of an eye.

Brother Rui said with admiration: "Sister, this knife is so cool, you have to teach me!"

Zao Zao gave Yuxi the fattest but least amount of meat, then turned around and said, "This is not achieved by skill, it needs to be practiced." After finishing speaking, he gave the second plate to Yunqing , and then sit down.

Brother Yu deliberately called out: "Eldest sister, why don't you bring me the meat?"

Zao Zao cast a contemptuous look at Brother Xuan: "If you serve it to me, when will it be my turn to serve it to you?" She is the boss, how can the boss serve the younger one.

"Kong Rong will give up pears at the age of four, eldest sister, as the eldest, shouldn't you take care of me, the youngest?" Brother Yu also made fun of him, and he really didn't want jujube to serve him meat.

Yunqing and Yuxi smiled and watched the two brothers and sisters arguing, and found it very interesting.

If it was in the past, Yuxi would definitely reprimand Zaozao and Qiyou. However, after the disappearance of Dongluo County and Zaozao, Yuxi felt that the safety and health of the family was the most important thing. Now that the whole family gathers together, talking and laughing, Yuxi thinks it's pretty good. As for the rules and etiquette, they can be put aside for the time being.

Brother Rui saw that Yuxi didn't scold Zaozao and Brother Yu, so he also joined in.

This meal, everyone is full. Brother Rui said: "Sister, let's go for a walk in the garden!" He happened to be digesting while listening to Zao Zao talk about bandit suppression.

Liu'er shook her head and said: "Eldest sister, Ah Hao, you guys go!" She still has something to tell her mother!

After Zaozao took the four Qihao brothers away, Liu'er said to Yunqing and Yuxi: "Father, mother, don't let the eldest sister go to suppress bandits anymore, it's too dangerous." Originally thought that suppressing bandits would be safer, Now I know that suppressing bandits is more dangerous than fighting.

Yun Qing frowned and said: "Your eldest sister is in danger of suppressing the bandits, so the soldiers are not in danger of suppressing the bandits? If the family members of the soldiers are like you,

Who is willing to go to fight against bandits? "This kind of view is really unacceptable.

It was the first time Liu Er was scolded by Yun Qing, and she was stunned for a moment.

Yun Qing continued: "It's dangerous to suppress bandits, so you won't let your elder sister go. It's even more dangerous to fight a war, so why don't you let Zhixi go too?"

Liu'er really had such a thought.

Yuxi pushed Yunqing down, and said: "There are still a lot of papers in the study that have not been reviewed, so you can deal with them." It is normal not to want relatives to go to war, even she is not willing to let Yunqing and Zaozao go to war. But if you don't want to, it doesn't mean you can stop it.

Yun Qing looked at Liu'er who was crying until tears came down, so he could only agree: "Okay." He often scolded Zao Zao, but Zao Zao seemed to be okay in a blink of an eye. But Liu'er, she started crying before she said anything.

Yuxi pulled Liu'er to sit down, and said: "Your father's tone just now was a little harsh, but these words are all reasonable. If everyone is afraid of danger and won't let their relatives go to war, who will defend their home and country? "

Liu'er wiped her tears and said, "Mother, I'm just afraid, afraid that something will happen to my eldest sister. Mother, it's luck that my eldest sister fell off the cliff and stayed at the bottom of the cliff for a month without injury, but it doesn't happen every time."

Yuxi was a little surprised: "How did you know?" Only their husband and wife and Qihao knew about this, and Qihao would definitely not tell Liu'er about it.

"I feel that the eldest sister is different from before when she came back this time. I only found out after asking Hongdou. Dad, the eldest sister is a girl's family. You let her stay at home and don't let her go to suppress bandits again." She is such an older sister, really Very afraid of accidents.

Yuxi gently stroked Liu'er's hair, and said: "You should know that your eldest sister has never stopped practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she just wants to become a female general who leads troops to fight. If you don't let her lead troops now, it's just Don't you think it's cruel to break her dream?"

Liu'er became anxious: "That's better than losing your life!"

Yuxi shook her head and said: "For your eldest sister, she would rather lose her life than hide in the back house. Liuer, I know you care about Zaozao and are afraid of her accident, but you can't be a roadblock for her to realize her dream. "

Liu'er was silent for a long time before asking: "Mother, aren't you afraid?"

"How can you not be afraid? After knowing about Dongluo County, mother was so frightened that she always dreamed that something happened to your father and the others, and she couldn't sleep again until your father came back." After finishing speaking, Yuxi smiled wryly and said: "But I'm afraid It can't be stopped either. Liu'er, this is your eldest sister's choice, and we must respect her choice."

Seeing this, Liu'er knew that Yuxi would not change her attitude, so she immediately lowered her head.

Yuxi thought for a while, and comforted Liu'er: "You don't have to worry, after this incident, your eldest sister will act more cautiously in the future. Even Zhixi, there will be no more battles in the future, and there will be no danger." As long as you don't rush to the front, there is no danger in commanding from the rear.

Liu Er hummed, but her expression was still weary.

The night in March was still a bit chilly, so Meilan hurriedly put on the coat she was carrying and put it on Yuxi.

The night was beautiful, and Yuxi was walking on the road listening to the cries of Chong'er, and said with some emotion: "It's been a long time since I listened to the cries of Chong'er seriously." I was busy until midnight at night, and wanted to go back to sleep, how could I have time to listen to it? The insects called.

Mei Lan said with a smile: "My son is getting older, and the princess will be able to relax soon. I'm afraid that the princess will be the same as the nanny and won't be able to relax."

Yuxi shook her head lightly: "It will probably take ten years before Qihao can take on this burden." Ten years is a relatively conservative term. With Qihao's intelligence and diligence, he should be able to take power by the age of twenty.

Walking into Zaozao's yard and seeing that the lights were still on, Yuxi couldn't help frowning, and before she could speak, she saw Zaozao walking out of the house.

Zaozao hugged Yuxi's arm and said with a smile: "Mother, why are you coming here so late? Let's talk about it tomorrow." The afternoon was occupied by the triplets, and Zaozao originally planned to have a good chat with Yuxi tomorrow Next, I didn't expect to come here at night.

Yuxi poked Zaozao's forehead: "Tell me, why haven't you slept so late?" Zaozao didn't rest during the day, so it stands to reason that he should be sleeping soundly now.

Zao Zao didn't hide anything: "I remembered what happened at the bottom of the cliff, and I couldn't sleep because I thought too much." Tossing and turning and not being able to fall asleep is also very painful!

The mother and daughter entered the house. Zao Zao's house is very simply furnished, with nothing but necessary supplies.

Zao Zao hugged Yu Xi and did not let go: "Mother, you can sleep with me tonight!"

Zao Zao said that she slept with Yu Xi many times, but it was the first time that she asked Yu Xi to accompany her.

Yu Xi touched her head, and asked in a low voice: "Are you afraid?" If she wasn't afraid, she wouldn't be lying in bed unable to sleep. Knowing that it is good to be afraid, always be fearless as before.

Zaozao didn't hide anything, nodded and said: "I was very scared when I was at the bottom of the cliff. I was afraid that no one would come to me, and I was afraid that I would never see my parents and Ahao again." Zaozao used to be fearless because of everything. Yuxi and Yunqing supported her, but she was really scared under the cliff.

Yu Xi said softly: "Don't be afraid, it's all over." When Yun Qing told her about this, Yu Xi was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out.

Zao Zao said guiltily, "Mother, I'm sorry, I've always worried you all these years."

"These years are enough to worry about." After finishing speaking, Yuxi smiled again: "Don't mention the past, as long as you don't worry me anymore, mother will be satisfied." Let her worry about it, but fortunately, she has grown up and is going to get married in a while, and when she becomes a mother in the future, she will really become stable.

"No more, mother, I won't let you worry about me anymore." Since she was a child, her parents have worried about her, but she has never done anything for her parents. When she was at the bottom of the cliff, she regretted it terribly when she thought of it. At the same time, she secretly swore that her parents would never worry about her again.

"I believe you can do it." Whether it can be done depends on actual actions, not words. But Yu Xi just doesn't hit her.

Zao Zao said: "Mother, there are remnants of crimes in Shandong, and there are more evils in the capital. Mother, you and father should be more careful when you arrive in the capital." If it is a bandit, you know that the officers and soldiers will not have time to suppress them, so how can you set up a trap to survive? Catch dates. Those bandits are actually the remnants of the imperial court. These people want to catch Zao Zao and negotiate terms with Yun Qing.

Yuxi smiled and said: "Don't worry, they won't harm me and your father. It's you six siblings, be careful." She doesn't go out much, and Yan Wushuang can't harm her even if she wants to.

Zao Zao nodded.

After chatting for a long time, Zao Zao let go of Yu Xi and said, "Mother, go back and rest!"

Yuxi smiled lightly: "Didn't you say you want me to sleep with you? Why, you don't need it anymore?"

Zaozao really wants to sleep with Yuxi, but this is just a talk: "Mother, I don't seem to sleep well, and it must disturb you to sleep well at night. You will be busy tomorrow, and you won't be refreshed if you don't rest well." She Mother is busy with important matters, and if she makes a mistake because she is in a trance, it may cause huge losses.

Knowing what Zao Zao was thinking, Yu Xi smiled and didn't say much. Every decision she made would be discussed with the minister. If there is something wrong, the minister will bring it up.

Yuxi said: "Then you go to bed quickly!" After experiencing a life and death, this child has really grown up. Where would I think about these before, I just acted according to my temper.

Yuxi didn't let Zaozao deliver it, so Yuxi walked out of the house by herself. Standing in the courtyard and looking up at the sky, I saw a bright moon hanging high in the sky, curved like a woman's thin eyebrows.

Meilan also saw that Yuxi was in a good mood, so she must have said something to reassure the princess!

When leaving the yard, Yuxi saw the limp Hongdou coming out of the house.

Hongdou bowed to Yuxi and saluted: "Princess." After all these years in the palace, Hongdou respected Yuxi very much.

Yuxi nodded and said, "Follow me for a walk." Hongdou's lame leg doesn't mean that she can't walk, it's just that she can't walk.

Hongdou silently followed.

Walking out of the yard, Yu Xi stopped and asked, "What are your plans for the future?" Hong Dou was originally Zao Zao's guard, but now that her legs are like this, she definitely can't continue to follow Zao Zao.

Hongdou thought that Yuxi was going to send her out, so she froze. After a while, Hongdou said: "I will go back to my mother's house." She is old and now lame, where else can she go except her mother's house.

If there were other places to go, Hongdou would definitely not return to her natal home. Her parents are gone, and her natal family still has two older brothers. But the two elder brothers separated after they got married, and both had their own children. Two years ago, her second brother had lost money in business, so he borrowed a sum of money from her. After her elder brother and sister-in-law found out, they also asked her to borrow money to start a business, but she had a falling out when she didn't agree. And the money borrowed by her second brother has never been repaid. She made a point of talking about it during the Chinese New Year last year. Her second sister-in-law said that she would be raised by her nephew when she was old, so the money would not be repaid. This means that if she has no money in the future, her nephew will not support her.

Yuxi shook her head helplessly: "I'm not trying to drive you out, I just want to ask you what plans you have for the future?" It should be for a lifetime.

Seeing Hongdou's bewildered look, Yuxi had no choice but to speak more clearly: "The palace will definitely support you, but I'm afraid you'll be bored like this." Aunt Quan is still busy in her sixties, and Hongdou is only three years old. Living in the palace for the elderly when he was more than ten years old, he will definitely not be able to bear it after a long time. .

Hong Dou smiled bitterly and said, "I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, and I know nothing else."

Yuxi smiled and said: "You can learn it if you don't. You are still young, as long as you are willing to learn, you will be able to learn it. Of course, you can also use your strengths."

Hongdou hesitated.

Yuxi knows that Hongdou needs time: "When you think it over, tell Zaozao." She is from Zaozao, so she naturally asks Zaozao to help solve problems.
