Chapter 1243 The Oriole Is Behind (1)
?There is a war ahead, and the rear is busy. Since Yunqing left the capital, the officials in the DPRK and China began to get busy.
Although Han Jianming is the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, he is also too busy to touch the ground. Sometimes, I'm too busy to go home. Qiu wanted to see her son, but she couldn't.
However, because Yun Qing decided not to send troops for the time being, the officers and soldiers in the DPRK could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Han Jianming returned home on a rare occasion this day.
Han Jianming is a filial son, so he will naturally go to accompany Qiu Shi when he has time. After the mother and son chatted for a while, it was time for Mrs. Qiu to recite scriptures and Buddha.
Han Jianming didn't delay her mother's chanting of scriptures and Buddha, and he told her to pay attention to her body, and he went to the main courtyard.
Brother Ye has turned three years old and has already been enlightened. Now I have to study with my teacher every day, but I am too young, I only study for an hour in the morning every day, and practice calligraphy by myself in the afternoon, there is no hard requirement. Right now, Brother Ye is studying with his husband in the front yard.
After Han Jianming entered the house, he saw Mrs. Xiang was making clothes in the house. Judging by the style of the clothes, one could tell that they were made for him.
After entering the room, Han Jianming sat down and said with a smile: "It takes a lot of eyesight to do needlework, I just let the embroiderer do the clothes."
Xiang smiled gracefully: "Anyway, idleness is idleness, and time passes faster when you have something to do." After giving birth to Brother Ye, she always wanted to have another child. It's a pity that after taking a lot of medicine, she couldn't conceive.
Hearing this, Han Jianming frowned and said, "Mother is getting older and her health is getting worse, so you should go over to accompany him more often."
Xiang Shi has also learned to be smart now, and she will no longer promise what she can't do. She said with a wry smile: "It's not that the master doesn't know, mother doesn't like me, I only like Minxiu and A Yue. Talk to me." The older a person gets, the simpler the idea becomes. Qiu Shi doesn't like Xiang Shi, and she used to do some face-saving work, but now she doesn't even do it.
Hearing this, Han Jianming said, "Old children, old children, the older they get, the more they need to be coaxed. You go to talk to her a few times, and after a long time, your mother's anger will disappear."
Xiang's heart choked up, but he didn't dare to show it. She is very clear that Qiu's family is much more important in her husband's heart than her wife: "Okay, I will listen to the master."
In fact, Han Jianming also felt a little embarrassing for Mrs. Qiu, but Mrs. Qiu was his mother and suffered a lot for their brothers, so he was not willing to make things difficult for Mrs. Qiu.
After thinking for a while, Han Jianming said: "The end of this month is your birthday, and then we will set up a few tables at home, and invite relatives and friends to have a meal." Only when you are valued, will you hold a birthday banquet.
Mrs. Xiang originally wanted to evade, but she suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "Master, isn't this bad? There is going to be a war soon. If I still hold banquets at home, people will definitely say If you gossip, even the empress will be unhappy."
"It's okay, it's just for everyone to get together for a meal, and the empress won't say anything if she knows it." It's not a big deal, just set up two or three tables for a meal.
Xiang smiled and said, "Then invite some relatives."
On the second day, Xiang began to draw up the list, and there were not many people invited, all of whom were relatives. Such as the in-laws of the Feng family and the Xu family, as well as relatives such as the second wife of the Han family, the Lu family and the Zhou family, and Liu'er also invited them.
After the list was reviewed by Han Jianming, it was finalized. Xiang's actions were still very fast, and these invitations were sent out two days later.
Seeing that it was Xiang's birthday party, Liu'er was not interested in going there and was not sure about going there. Not only did Yu Xi have a bad impression of Xiang, but Zao Zao and Liu Er also didn't like this aunt. It's not because of Yuxi's influence, Yuxi is not bad enough to say bad things about Xiang in front of the children.
Calling Shiliu over, Liu'er said: "The twenty-ninth is the birthday of the eldest aunt, you should prepare a gift and give it to me when the time comes!"
Shiliu didn't say anything, nodded and said, "Okay."
When Feng Zhixi came back in the evening, Liu'er couldn't help but said, "What time is it now, she is still in the mood to hold a birthday party." Although there was no battle ahead, she was still very worried.
"Not to mention that the battle has not started yet,
Even if you start a war, you can't ask everyone to be like you, right? "Liu'er made a vow in front of the Buddha that he would be a vegetarian for seventy-seven forty-nine days. Feng Zhixi followed the vegetarian diet during this time, and his mouth has faded out these days. He can only take advantage of his work and sleep outside. It's time to beat the teeth.
Liu Er said: "I didn't make everyone like me, but no one is like her. Someone in the family is fighting outside and can still have the mood to hold a birthday party. If you say she is like this, can my grandmother not dislike her?" Her second uncle and brother An are both in Changzhou, and they may go to the battlefield at any time. At this time, Mrs. Xiang is still in the mood to hold a banquet, so it's strange that her grandmother is in a good mood.
After hearing this, Feng Zhixi laughed and said, "Why didn't anyone remind your aunt!" Thinking about celebrating your birthday, it's okay to make it up after the war is over! It's really disgusting to do it on the cusp of the wind and waves. It's fine that the aunt is not smart, and the people around her didn't even remind her.
"Who is full enough to support her to take care of her." Just like her, she knew that Xiang's behavior was inappropriate, but she didn't care about it.
Feng Zhixi smiled and said: "Don't think too much, just don't go if you don't like it, why bother to be angry about it."
Liu'er wasn't angry, but she just didn't like Xiang's eyes: "I don't need to go, but my sister-in-law will definitely go back." As a daughter, Qi Qi must go back to have a drink. I don't know what kind of wind my uncle has, so I insist on remarrying. If you don't marry again, wouldn't there be so many things.
After humming, Feng Zhixi said something to Liu'er: "Brother wrote back to me, saying that the child was an accident, a trick played by that woman. The woman made the contraceptive pills vomit out, and then she became pregnant."
"I promised not to tell my cousin, why did you mention it to me?" If Feng Zhiao didn't secretly raise a concubine, how could the woman get pregnant. After all, they are all excuses.
Feng Zhixi also felt that he had done something stupid.
Yu Xi's news is much better than Liu Er's. If she knew about this, she would definitely give gifts to Mrs. Xiang, but this time, not only did she not think about giving gifts, but she scolded Han Jianming: "Second brother went to Changzhou to fight with brother An, but she Holding a banquet at home, what does your mother think?"
So, the son is not as caring as the daughter. It's true that Han Jianming is filial, but he won't be as meticulous as Yuxi thinks.
Han Jianming was taken aback for a moment, and then blamed himself: "I really didn't think about it that much. Now that the invitation has been sent out, if you cancel it, it will make Zixin feel bad."
"You didn't think of it, didn't she think of it too?" Maybe Xiang didn't think of it, it should be that she didn't consider Qiu's feelings at all.
Han Jianming fell silent.
"I won't say too much, just keep this in your heart by cultivating yourself and governing the family." If Qiu wasn't afraid of feeling uncomfortable, she wouldn't bother talking about it.
Han Jianming nodded.
At this moment, Shan Liangyi raised his voice outside: "Empress Empress, the emperor has a letter to deliver."
Yun Qing didn't like to use eunuchs, not only because he thought eunuchs' voices were sharp, but also felt that they had a strange smell on them. Shan Liangyi was in the personal guard camp, and if he was injured, he lost his function, so he was selected as a personal servant.
After reading the secret letter, Yu Xi looked a little dignified. The battle situation in Tongcheng was even worse than she expected.
Han Jianming asked, "What's the matter? Is there a war in Changzhou?" Since he is an official in the court, this kind of question can be asked.
Yuxi shook her head and said, "No, it's because the battle in Tongcheng was not going well. After fighting for a month, the Yan Dynasty has now suffered more than 200,000 casualties."
Han Jianming immediately knew the seriousness of the matter. If Tongcheng was breached, there would be no natural dangers that could stop the cavalry of the Donghu people. If so, the capital may also be in danger: "Fortunately, the emperor did not send troops to Xiangzhou." In this way, Yan Wushuang will be able to defend Tongcheng with all his strength.
Yuxi smiled and said: "The decision I made with the emperor has our own considerations." Before Yunqing arrived in Changzhou and did not send troops, the Minister of the Ministry of Households and the Minister of the Ministry of War even mentioned it to Yuxi specifically for this matter . Of course, they didn't raise any objections, they just shared their worries and difficulties.
"The emperor and the empress are wise." After saying this, Han Jianming said, "What if Yan Wushuang can't resist the Donghu people's attack?"
Hearing this, Yuxi sighed and said, "Tongcheng has suffered such a heavy loss, I am afraid that Yan Wushuang will transfer all his troops to Tongcheng except Xiangzhou. If the situation worsens, the soldiers and horses of Xiangzhou may also be killed." Some of them will be transferred to Tongcheng."
Han Jianming said: "According to the current situation, the new king of Donghu will not stop until Tongcheng is taken?" If so, the court will be very dangerous.
"Well, so many soldiers and horses have been damaged. If Tongcheng is not defeated and Liaodong is not taken, he may lose his throne with his troops back." More than 200,000 soldiers and horses were lost in Tongcheng, and more than 100,000 Donghu people were killed or injured. . This time the Donghu people brought a total of 400,000 Malays, nearly half of which was lost.
Han Jianming said: "I hope they can withstand it." In this way, they can also reduce the huge pressure.
Yuxi said: "Even if we continue to fight like this, even if we can't fight against the Donghu people, there are not many soldiers left. When we send troops, we will be able to drive them back to the grassland." Their Northwest Army is also strong, as long as Donghu's troops Not too many, they can be repelled completely.
After finishing speaking, Yuxi said: "The only thing I am worried about now is that Yan Wushuang will form an alliance with the Donghu people. That will be very bad for us."
Han Jianming shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about this lady. If Yan Wushuang wants to form an alliance with the Donghu people, he won't fight them with all his strength. Moreover, if he really does this, he will only betray his relatives, and no one will follow him. "
No matter from the rational or emotional point of view, Yuxi also felt that Yan Wushuang would not form an alliance with the Donghu people, but she was afraid of everything if it happened. However, Yu Xi knew it was useless to worry. Now I just hope that Yan Wushuang can have a bottom line. Otherwise, there will be great troubles.
