Chapter 296 Letter From Home (Part 2)

In the evening, Fu Tianlei returned home. Today is the Chinese New Year, and there is nothing important in the barracks, so it would be a shame not to go home for the Chinese New Year!

This time, Fu Tianlei went to see Mrs. Chen first. Looking at Mrs. Chen, who was pale with a puffy stomach, Fu Tianlei's expression softened: "Is the child good today?"

Mrs. Chen rubbed her stomach and said, "The child is very good these days!" This child is all her hope, so Mrs. Chen is usually very careful.

Fu Tianlei hummed and said: "That's good." I think there were endless things to talk about between the husband and wife back then, but now there is no extra topic except for talking about the children and the family.

Mrs. Chen hesitated for a moment, and said, "Husband, father-in-law came over this morning and said something to me." Old General Fu asked Mrs. Chen to persuade Fu Tianlei to defect to the court and not to sacrifice his life for Yunqing. General Fu himself couldn't understand Fu Tianlei, so he could only pin his hopes on the Chen family. If the relationship between husband and wife was good before, she would definitely persuade Fu Tianlei to listen to his father-in-law. After all, there is no way out for rebellion. But now the relationship between husband and wife has broken down, if it is not for the sake of the child in the belly, the husband may not want to go to the main courtyard. Therefore, Chen asked Fu Tianlei tentatively.

Fu Tianlei showed a bored look on his face, and said: "I have a sense of proportion in this matter, don't worry about it, and have a good pregnancy."

Chen's eyes were red, and she said: "Husband, what father-in-law said is also reasonable. What good results can this conspiracy have? Husband, for the sake of me and the child, you should give more consideration to what father-in-law said."

Fu Tianlei was indescribably irritated, and said: "What do you know?" If he hadn't been forced to do nothing, he would not want to go this way.

Chen's tears fell down the ground: "husband, I know you must have something to hide. But we are a family, and we will get through difficulties together." We slept together for eight years, and Chen still knew Fu Tianlei's temperament. Chen guessed that Fu Tianlei had some reason to be caught by Yunqing, otherwise her husband would definitely not be willing to rebel.

Fu Tianlei stood up and said, "Don't worry about the outside affairs, and have a good pregnancy! I have something to do outside, so I'll come to see you when I have something to do." Fu Tianlei didn't tell anyone about Fu Qingluo, including Old General Fu and Mrs. Chen.

Mrs. Chen wiped her tears, and said to Mama He: "Tell me, what is the reason why Yunqing caught Husband? What made Husband so determined?"

Mama He shook her head and said, "Madam, listen to the old slave's persuasion, you can now take care of your baby with peace of mind, and don't meddle in other matters."

Chen also didn't want to get involved, and said: "But father-in-law is right. How many people have succeeded in rebellion since ancient times? Not only did they not die well, but they also implicated their family members and clan members."

Mother He snorted coldly, and said: "Madam, I won't talk about how the old man treated you before, but just talk about today's matter, but if the old man has a conscience, he shouldn't tell you these things. If Madam can't stand the stimulation, the consequences It will be unimaginable." Mother He hated Old Master Fu extremely. Madam and the general have come to this point, the old man has to bear most of the responsibility. Now, regardless of his wife's poor health, he ran to say that if the general did not vote for the court, there would be a risk of ransacking his family and exterminating his family. Fortunately, Madam puts the baby in her womb first, otherwise she would definitely give birth prematurely.

Mrs. Chen didn't like this father-in-law either, but she put everything into consideration: "I'm very worried, and even if Yunqing succeeds in rebelling, what will my husband get?" Nothing.

Mama He said: "Ma'am, you said that the general was forced to rebel by Yun Qing. I think your idea is wrong. No matter how big the excuse is, it is impossible to force the general to rebel." After a pause, Mama He He lowered his voice and said: "General Yun sent back one million taels of silver, and made up all the military pay owed by the court. Not only that, but this time, the pension that the court had been refusing to pay was also given this time. Now the soldiers of Yucheng With the common people, there is no one who does not speak well of General Yun."

To be a soldier, especially in Yucheng, is to put your head on your trouser belt. However, the imperial court still deducted their military salaries and did not replace their weapons and equipment. It was clear that they did not take their life and death seriously. After such a long time,

It has chilled the soldiers' hearts. This time, most of the soldiers in Yucheng followed Yunqing to rebel without hesitation, because they believed in Yunqing and believed that after the rebellion was successful, they would live a better life. And Yunqing's actions did not disappoint their expectations. After confiscating the gold and silver, Yunqing immediately thought about paying them back the military salary and the pension owed by the previous court.

Yunqing's move also strengthened the belief of those who were hesitant. To work for the court is to work hard, and to work hard for the general is also to work hard. That being the case, why not follow the general, at least the general thinks of them and thinks of them, and he can give them a good life in the future.

Chen looked at Mama He and said, "Do you also think that Yunqing can succeed in rebellion?"

Mama He said: "The soldiers in Yucheng are now of one mind with Yunqing. If our general joins the imperial court at this time, madam, do you think about the consequences?" Mama He's son also served in the army. He returned home yesterday, not only Said that all the military salaries were received, and that Yunqing was going to buy new weapons and equipment for all the soldiers. If the weapons and equipment are good, there will be a little more chance of survival in the battlefield. Everyone has selfishness, so Mama He is naturally on Yunqing's side.

Seeing Chen's hesitation, Mama He said: "Madam, don't worry about it anymore. To put it mildly, even if you worry about it, it's useless." Instead of this, it's better to take care of yourself and the baby in your belly.

Chen took a deep breath and said, "You're right, I can't worry about this matter. I'd better leave it to the general!" She didn't understand such important military matters, so she decided not to ask. She is still taking good care of her baby now.

The New Year's Eve dinner in Yunfu this night was as rich as last year, and it didn't decrease by half because Yunqing was no longer there. Xu Daniu looked at a large table of delicious dishes, rubbed his hands together and said cheerfully: "I thought that I would be satisfied if I could eat Mama Bai's mutton dumplings tonight."

Xu Wu smiled and said: "Madam said, we want everyone to have a happy New Year." In the past, there was wine on New Year's Eve, but now the situation is different, and the wine is forfeited. After dinner, everyone still has work to do!

Because Yuxi is still in confinement, the food she eats is relatively light. Fortunately, she doesn't need to breastfeed, and this dish now has salt. I think when I gave birth to jujube, because I had to breastfeed, I didn’t eat any salt for a month during the confinement period. No matter how good the food was, I didn’t have an appetite.

After eating, Yuxi teased Zao Zao. Zao Zao has a very good temper, no matter who hugs her, she doesn't shy away from her, and she also likes to laugh. When she laughs, she giggles, which makes people feel good. No, after being teased by Yuxi, she couldn't stop laughing.

Mother Qu came in from the outside and said, "Ma'am, the old man said that he wants to see the eldest girl, and wants the younger one to carry her over."

Yuxi didn't agree, and said: "It's getting late, it's very cold outside, it's not easy to take the child out. Tell the old man, I'll have someone carry Zaozao to see him tomorrow morning." Huo Changqing is too fond of Zaozao , this made Yuxi very worried. The child is fine now, but if he grows up and is pampered like this, it will be difficult to control him.

In fact, Mother Qu didn't quite agree with carrying Zao Zao. In case of catching a cold in this cold weather, everyone would have to worry about it: "Okay, I'll go back to the old man."

Huo Changqing was a little unhappy, even though it was night, if he wrapped the child tightly, he would catch a cold. Zao Zao is not Liu Er, Zao Zao is in good health! Huo Changqing said with a worried expression; "Then bring me here tomorrow morning!"

Seeing Huo Changqing's unhappy expression, Xu Wu said, "Father, don't worry, the general will be fine." Xu Wu thought that Huo Changqing was worried about Yunqing.

Huo Changqing glanced at Xu Wu, and said, "Zaozao has rarely been hugged in the front yard recently." Every time he wanted to see Zaozao during this time, he had to ask someone to hug him in the backyard. Unlike in the past, it was Han who took the initiative to let people bring Zao Zao to show him.

Xu Wu didn't think much about it, and said: "The general is not here, so Madam will not carry Zao Zao to the front yard often." Zao Zao is everyone's pistachio, and everyone likes it very much. I haven't seen her these days, and Xu Daniu has been talking about it. Of course, he also wanted to, but he was better, and occasionally he could see Zao Zao in the backyard.

Huo Changqing shook his head and said, "No. I have a feeling that the chances of me seeing Zao Zao will become less and less in the future."

Xu Wu was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and said, "Father, I heard from the general that Mrs. Zaozao will give her enlightenment when she is three years old. The chances of going to the front yard may become more and more frequent in the future. Not much. However, if the adoptive father wants to, he can still see Zao Zao every day."

Huo Changqing didn't say a word, but his face became more and more ugly.

Seeing this, Xu Wu immediately changed the subject, and said, "Father, the general's letter to his wife, I heard Mother Qu said that there were only six words 'everything is fine, don't read it'."

After hearing this, Huo Changqing said, "Just six words?" Yun Qing also wrote back to him, but there were three pieces of paper. Of course, they are all talking about business, not a word of gossip.

Xu Wu nodded and said: "Well, it's just six words, Mother Qu told me, it must be true. You don't know the foster father, Madam was very angry after reading the letter. However, anyone should be angry about this matter. It's gone." Madam's letter to the general was so thick that it almost couldn't fit. In the end, the general only replied six words. The gap is really too big. If he didn't know that the general and his wife are affectionate, he would have thought the general was too lazy to reply!

Huo Changqing said: "I guess there are too many words, but I don't know how to write them, so I finally wrote these six words."

Xu Wu said with a smile: "If you don't know how to write it, you should ask Madam how she is, how are Zao Zao and Liu Er? As a result, the general didn't ask any questions, Madam just sulked when she got angry and didn't get angry. She already has a good temper .” It should be said that Madam’s self-cultivation is good.

Huo Changqing shook his head and stopped talking. It can only be said that Yunqing lacks a single muscle in his brain. R8
