Chapter 295 Letter From Home (1)
On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, the sky was clear and the weather was very good. The people of Yunfu opened up early in the morning, changing door gods to post couplets, it was very lively.
Lying on the bed, Yuxi heard the cheerful laughter of the maid outside, and said with some regret: "I don't know how the general is doing now?" Yunqing is not here, and this year is not going well.
Mother Qu smiled and said, "Ma'am, the general may be celebrating the New Year in Lanzhou City at this time!" At first, Mother Qu knew that Yunqing was rebelling, and she almost fainted from fright. The master's family rebelled, and if they failed, their servants would have no way to survive. But seeing Yu Xi's calm appearance later, and all the news from the front is good news, she felt at ease.
Yuxi shook her head and said, "I guess it's not that fast." Lanzhou City must have a strict defense, and it will take a lot of effort to attack it. However, capturing Lanzhou City means that the whole of Gansu has fallen into their hands.
Mother Qu smiled and said, "Ma'am, the general is the bravest in battle. Even if he doesn't occupy Lanzhou City now, it won't be long." The situation is good, and the servants feel at ease.
Yu Xi hummed, and said: "I don't worry about Lanzhou City. With the general's ability, it won't take long to capture it. But Pick City, there are some troubles." Pick City is the capital of several dynasties, and its defense is also very strong , it is not so easy to attack by force.
Seeing that Yuxi started to think about things again, Mother Qu said hurriedly: "Madam, do you want to bring the eldest girl and the second girl here?" In the ear chamber.
Yu Xi nodded and said: "Bring them here!" Yun Qing is not around, and only when he sees the two children can he feel at ease.
As soon as Zaozao saw Yuxi, she called out happily: "Mother." Today Zaozao is wearing a big red dress with tigers embroidered on it, and a tiger hat on her head, she looks like a little tiger.
Yuxi has been raising her for twenty days, and she is not as weak as before. She stretched out her hand to hold Zaozao in her arms, and said with a smile: "This dress is really refreshing." This dress was prepared by Qiu Shi for Zaozao of. The clothes Qiu prepared for Zao Zao can be worn until she is three years old.
Mother Qu also felt that the clothes were spirited, but her eldest daughter was a girl even though she was a tiger. Wearing this tiger suit, no matter how you look at it, you look like a kid!
Soon, Mother Lan carried Liu'er over.
Liu'er is much better than when she was born, at least she has some flesh on her body, she is no longer so thin, and she cries a little louder than before, so she doesn't worry about being unable to support her anymore. All of this is due to Mother Blue. In order to take good care of Liu'er, Mother Lan has tried her best. Since Liu'er was born, she has lost sixteen catties. All the original clothes can no longer be worn.
Yuxi put Zaozao beside her and took Liu'er from Mother Lan. Zao Zao wanted to reach out to grab Liu'er, but Yu Xi blocked her. This girl is young, how can she know the seriousness. In case something got caught, Liu'er would have to cry again.
Zaozao was not angry either, and lay beside Yuxi, shouting cheerfully: "Liu Liu, Liu Liu..." Zaozao is still unable to fully express what she wants to say.
It is said that children look young, just by judging from the way Zao Zao treats Liu Er, one knows that Zao Zao is not a stingy child.
Yu Xi happily touched Zao Zao's head, and said: "This girl has a really good memory, she can even remember Liu'er's name." This memory is better than hers.
Zaozao was unhappy, and said: "Sister, Liuliu, Liuliu." It means that my sister's name is not Liuer, but Liuliu.
Yuxi laughed: "This girl..."
Seeing Yu Xi smiling, Liu Er, who was lying in her arms, also opened her mouth to smile. Although the laughter is very small, this small appearance is very cute.
Yuxi saw her, and said to Mother Qu and Mother Lan, "Who do you think Liu'er looks like?" Although Liu'er is thin and small, her facial features have been revealed, with big eyes and a pointed oval face. This looks neither like her nor Yunqing.
Mother Lan shook her head and said, "I'll have to wait for the general to come back to find out about this.
"The second girl definitely doesn't look like someone from the Han family, she should look like someone from the general's side.
Yu Xi shook her head and said, "I asked Uncle Huo, and Uncle Huo said he didn't know." At first, Yu Xi thought she looked like her mother-in-law, but Huo Changqing shook her head, saying that Yun Qing's mother didn't look like that at all. Therefore, Yuxi was a little puzzled, who exactly does this girl look like.
Mother Qu smiled and said, "Ma'am, it doesn't matter who the second girl looks like, what matters is what the second girl looks like, and she will definitely be a great beauty when she grows up."
Yu Xi smiled, and no longer struggled with this problem.
Not long after lunch, Xu Wu came over, did not enter the house, and said directly outside the door: "Madam, the general sent a letter back." After speaking, he handed the letter to Licorice.
Yuxi couldn't stop the smile on her face, but after receiving the letter and opening it, Yuxi's face froze. Yunqing's reply letter only said "everything is fine, don't read it".
Her letter from home was more than ten pages long, and the reply was only six words, which made Yuxi very depressed. After pinching the letter, Yuxi asked: "That's it?"
Xu Wu also felt that something was wrong when he held the letter. The letter was light and light, and he didn't need to read it to know that there must be very little written. Hearing that Madam's voice was wrong, how could he not know that Yuxi was angry with the general. Xu Wu said: "The general is busy with military affairs, please forgive me, Madam."
Yu Xi snorted, and said: "No matter how busy the military affairs are, there is no time for a letter." This clearly did not take the mother and daughter three to heart.
It was the first time Xu Wu heard Yuxi's tone like this, and when he saw this, he hurriedly explained: "I heard from Ah Hui, who delivered the letter, that the general replied as soon as he received the letter from home."
Hearing this, Yuxi's expression eased a lot, and she decided not to argue with Yunqing this time, but if she only wrote six words in the second letter, she would not agree: "I see, you go down and get busy!"
Xu Wu hesitated for a moment, and said to Yuxi: "Madam, I have something to report to you." It's not easy to talk about these things outside. It is inconvenient to enter the house.
Yuxi got up, leaned against the head of the bed, and said, "Come in and talk!" It's good in the northwest, the defense between men and women is not as serious as in the capital.
Xu Wu said: "Ma'am, Mr. Yingqian, surnamed Jin, went to Fu's house yesterday and talked with General Fu in the study for nearly an hour. At night, General Fu had a big fight with General Fu. General Fu I stayed in the barracks that night, and I haven’t returned to Fu’s house until now.”
Yu Xi's heart trembled, and after a while she asked, "What did Uncle Huo say?"
Xu Wu said: "Uncle Huo asked us to monitor Fu Tianlei, but I don't think it's appropriate." It would be bad if Fu Tianlei knew that he was being watched and thought they didn't believe him. That's why Xu Wu told Yu Xi about this, he wanted Yu Xi to make up his mind.
Yu Xi closed her eyes, her mind was spinning rapidly, and after a long time, she opened her eyes and said: "Employees are not suspicious. Don't send people to monitor Fu Tianlei. The nails of the Fu family will also be withdrawn." She didn't believe in Fu Tianlei, but I believe in Yunqing. Since Yunqing can trust Fu Tianlei with her back, she is also willing to trust Fu Tianlei.
Xu Wu breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Okay."
Back in the front yard, Xu Wu found Huo Changqing, and told Huo Changqing what Yuxi meant: "Father, look..."
Huo Changqing didn't blame Xu Wu for finding Yuxi behind his back, but he was a little dissatisfied: "Don't you know that Zaozao's mother is not in good health, and you still want her to worry?" Huo Changqing cut off the news from the backyard, and Zijin is learning her lesson this time, and she doesn't say a word to Yuxi about outside affairs.
Xu Wu lowered his head and said, "Father, it's my fault." Although there was a reason for the incident, it really shouldn't be bothering Madam.
Huo Changqing hummed, and said: "Since Zao Zao's mother thinks it's not good to monitor Fu Tianlei, she should withdraw him. But the people from the Fu family don't have to withdraw." There is no need to make such a mobilization.
Xu Wu didn't put nails in Fu's house, the news was passed on by people they bribed, so there was no question of whether to withdraw or not: "Father, if there is something that can't be made in the future, I think it's better to go with the madam." It will be safer after discussion." Although Madam is a girl, she is very intelligent and has a good outlook on the overall situation.
Huo Changqing kept looking at Xu Wu, seeing that Xu Wu didn't flinch, but instead laughed, and said, "You've finally come out of your experience." If you just obey him blindly, you will never be able to hold on.
Xu Wu knew that this step was the right one: "Father, I know Madam is in poor health, but at this time, you can't take a wrong step. But don't worry, Father, I won't bother Madam if it's not very important." A wrong step may be a wrong step, and it may become irreversible in the future.
Huo Changqing nodded: "You can handle it yourself! By the way, how is Han Jianming doing in the dungeon these days? Isn't he dying?" When Han Jianye was locked in, he still yelled that he wanted to see Yu Hee. In the end, Huo Changqing told him that Yuxi personally ordered him to be locked up, and Han Jianye looked deeply shocked at that time.
Huo Changqing thought it was funny. The Han family was almost killed, and Liu'er was almost killed. Ordinary people would have hated Han Jianye as the culprit. But Han's not only didn't care about Han Jianye, but tried to make him avoid this storm. But Han Jianye not only didn't know Han's painstaking efforts, but also thought that Han's hated him.
Xu Wu said: "Madam asked me to give him a book, and he has been reading quietly all this time!" Han Jianming was imprisoned in the dungeon of Yunfu. This dungeon, few people know, is very secret.
Huo Changqing asked, "What book?"
Xu Wu said: "Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-Six Strategies. Father, that book was transcribed by my wife." Xu Wu was shocked when he saw the familiar handwriting. He knew that his wife was knowledgeable and talented, but he didn't expect that his wife had even read military books and even transcribed one.
Huo Changqing couldn't help but shook his head and said, "It's really well-intentioned." I hope Han's hard work is not in vain! R8
