Just as Fu Ming said, people will soon return to the court.
After Jin Yi led the army to the front line, he quickly clarified the situation of the battle, and immediately issued a decisive military order to divide the troops and arrange the troops, and the situation was quickly reversed.
However, in just over a month, Jin Yi was already famous in the army, but he did not dare to take it lightly. He still paid attention to the enemy's situation at all times, his eyes were like torches when he was strategizing, and he was brave and fearless when he went into battle with a sword. The enemy surrendered one after another, and all his subordinates obeyed, and Jin Yi felt happy. After living in hibernation in Kyoto for so many years, after entering the battlefield, the feeling of being bound and having nowhere to go dissipated, and what was replaced was the sound of being able to sway.
One thing that made him particularly happy was to bring Jiang Yisun under his command. On the same day, Jiang Yisun offered advice and solved the urgent needs of the army. Jin Yi thought he was just taking advantage of the location. But since then, Jiang Yisun's performance has become more and more good, and his ability to seek good martial arts has helped him a lot. The two had a deep conversation in the camp all night. Jiang Yisun and Jin agreed on the current situation of the imperial military and border defense, and they talked very speculatively.
Therefore, Jiang Yisun was incorporated into his own army by Jin Yi and entrusted with important positions.
Spring has begun in the south, and after the fire of war has gradually extinguished, the spring grass has gradually grown, and the ice and snow have melted in Tanzhou.
When he came, he was wrapped in silver, and when he returned, Asakusa had no hooves, and Ye Fang was fascinated.
Without the anxiety and nervousness of the expedition, the marching speed of the triumphant team was not slow.
It was rare to see a smooth horse in front of him. Jin Yi competed with Jiang Yisun in riding and was far ahead of the army. At sunset, station your horses in the sunset, and wait for the team to catch up and come to set up camp.
The tender-colored grass buds turn golden in the sunset, and the horizon is endless, thousands of trees stretch toward the horizon. The two of them were tied to a wild tree and sat on the ground.
Jiang Yisun asked: "Elder brother, Mrs. Sister-in-law, no, you are married to a male wife. I am asking, is your husband and son-in-law safe at home?"
The two are now brothers in private, but Jin Yi is still surprised. Why did the other party suddenly ask about Fu Minglai
But he replied, "It should be fine."
"Should?" Jiang Yisun asked, "The eldest brother didn't communicate with his family?"
Jin Yi shook his head, "The war is important. Besides, there is a family in the soldiers, so he will be responsible for communicating with the family. If he doesn't inform the family of any abnormality, it is safe."
When Jiang Yisun heard the words, he thought to himself, I don't know if the long-borrowed brother is selfless because of the great duke, or if he is too concerned about his family.
Jin Yi thought that Jiang Yisun was just mentioning a sentence, but who knew that the other party seemed to be really concerned about this matter, and asked: "After Mr. Fu married into Jin's mansion, can you get along well with your family?"
To Shang Jin Yi's exploratory look, Jiang Yisun smiled and said, "Alas, let's just tell you brother Changji, I and Master Fu are old friends."
"How did you and him become old friends?" Jin Yi was really surprised. The two had different identities, origins, and experiences, so they should be completely unrelated strangers.
Jiang Yisun said, "The eldest brother should know that Master Fu San is the Fu family's adoptive, right?"
Jin Yi nodded, "Fu Ming's grandfather has no children, so he adopted his nephew from the far house."
Jiang Yisun smiled and said: "I can't say more about the twists and turns of this, but Master Fu San once stayed in the Beijing Salesian Bureau, and there should be many people who know about this. After Fu’s residence, he often returned to the Salesian Bureau. When Fu Gongzi was still young, his father was often taken to the Salesian Bureau. I met him there. There were many girls and few boys in the Salesian Bureau. A child was with him, and Mr. Fu went, and the three of us played together. At that time, I didn’t know whether we were superior or inferior, and Mr. Fu treated us like friends, so we forged a friendship. Later, when I became an adult, I asked Mr. Fu to take the words for me. , he said it was illegal, but there was no one in my family, and he was the person I knew best about poetry and books, so he still helped me get it."
Jin Yi smiled and said: "So the word 'Xiangxian' came from this way. So, you have known each other for a long time, no wonder you want to inquire about him." After a while, he said, "This time back to Beijing, you go to my house, You can get together now. If another friend at that time is also in Beijing, invite him to go with him."
Jiang Yisun waved his hand, "That person is indeed in Beijing, but he has another way to go, and I'm afraid he won't enter the Jin residence."
Jin Yi didn't ask any further, just said, "Then you can come alone. He should be happy when he sees you."
Jiang Yisun laughed heartily, "I must choose another day to visit!"
The army marched from south to north, following the spring breeze all the way into Beijing.
The three princes led the emperor to greet the triumphant team outside the capital. Under the blue sky and the sun, the grandeur of the army made his heart surging, and without waiting for Jin Yi to salute, he strode forward, clapped his hands on his shoulders, and said, "General Jin, you've worked hard!" Then he congratulated him, showing his kindness and respect beyond words. Others took this scene into their eyes and kept it in their hearts.
The third prince is heavy on martial arts, and Jin Yi has a good relationship - a person with a heart can be confirmed again.
After entering the dynasty, the sage gave another compliment, and then discussed the merits and deeds, and held a banquet to welcome the wind. The lights in the palace are brilliant, reflecting the blooming spring flowers and the charming face of the dancer Le Ji, which is intoxicating.
The prince immediately recited a long poem, reciting the grace of God above, and praised the military exploits below, and the dragon's heart was delighted.
Jin Yi, dealing with the emperor and prince, dealing with the civil and military officials, and returning to Jin's mansion from the palace, actually felt more tired than Ming Jin after withdrawing his troops.
The whole family, young and old, gathered in the front hall to wait for him to return. The candlelight illuminated all familiar figures, Jin Yi entered the door, and seemed to be exhausted and exhausted.
When the old lady saw the person, she held up her hand, looked up and down, left and right, and nodded tearfully: "Okay, okay, okay, it looks like she has gained experience and has the demeanor of a man from the Jin family!" She softened her voice again. Ask, "Are you injured? Are you tired? Are you hungry?…"
Jin Yihui shook the old lady's hand, answered them one by one, and then asked, "How is the old lady's health these past few months?"
Aunt Wang replied: "The old lady has been fine for the past few months. After the new year, she suffered some colds. She invited Imperial Physician Yu for consultation. After taking a few medicines, she is now fine." She asked again, "Master came back from the palace. Are you full at the banquet? My concubine ordered a table of home-cooked dishes, all of which my father likes to eat on weekdays, and use some more. Take a bath after dinner and have a good night’s rest.”
"I'm not hungry." Jin Yihui looked at the old lady again, "it's getting late, is the old lady sleepy? I'll help you go back to sleep."
The old lady nodded. Zhaoyan grabbed his father's legs, raised his head and asked, "Dad, after you take the old lady back to the house, if you're not sleepy, come find Yan'er!"
Jin Yi touched his head, and his voice was rarely so gentle: "Aren't Yan'er sleepy?"
"It's not sleepy, Yan'er is waiting for Daddy to come!" He stood on tiptoe, and when Jin Yi squatted down, he whispered a few words in Jin Yi's ear, and Jin Yi nodded, "Okay, Daddy will wait a while. go."
Jin Yi supported the old lady and said to the people in the room, "Let's go away tonight. If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it tomorrow."
Fu Ming, Renlan, Xinyue, etc. all agreed with a smile. Concubine Wang still had something to say, she called out "Master", Jin Yi nodded, and replied, "I entered the court today, the emperor talked about raising money for Tanzhou, you I have a heart."
As a concubine Wang, she would not have been missed by the princess, and she was not worthy of being mentioned by the emperor. However, when Jin Yifang made military achievements, the princess deliberately mentioned a few words in front of the emperor, and the emperor regarded this as the icing on the cake at the banquet. Once again, he praised the men of the Jin family for leading the army to defend the country, the family members saved for the people, and the ministers responded in succession. In any case, this is Jin Yi's face.
When Aunt Wang heard this, she was overjoyed, but her face was still not obvious. After Jin Yi finished speaking, he didn't stay any longer, and left with the old lady, and the whole room was soon cleared up.
As the night grew darker, people were talking secretly in the house and in the corner of the courtyard:
Master led the army to fight this time, and made a great contribution, the Jin residence will be even better in the future...
When I returned to the mansion, I didn't say a word to Master Fu, but praised Concubine Wang...
It turns out that Concubine Wang did what she did that day because she played a good abacus...
As expected, women know more about this inner court, and how men know how to compete for favor. Concubine Wang was always attentive, but Mr. Fu was silent, like a piece of wood. Contrastingly, the judgement is high and low...
After Jin Yi, who was being discussed by the servants, served the old lady and fell asleep, he did not go to Wang Yiniang's place, but went directly to Fangmanting according to Zhaoyan's whispers before.
Before entering the courtyard, the night wind blows the fragrance, and some petals fly over the wall, as if the host is welcoming people. The courtyard door was half-open, and Jin Yi walked in. Several lamps were hung on the branches along the winding path. These lamps were not as bright as the night palace lamps, but were small and warm, illuminating a road leading directly down the stairs.
Going up the steps and entering the house, Fu Ming, Renlan and Zhaoyan were all there.
"Dad, I won't drink tea this time, but drink." Zhaoyan pulled Jin Yi to sit down, and Fu Ming poured the wine.
Jin Yi asked, "Why did you change to drinking?" The palace drank a lot. Although it was scattered on the road, he was still slightly drunk.
Ren Lan smiled and said, "Only wine can be respected heroes."
Fu Ming raised his glass, Ren Lan also raised his glass, Zhaoyan replaced the wine with tea, Jin Yi smiled knowingly, then raised the glass too, and the four of them drank together.
Fu Ming put down his cup, went to sit down in front of the Qin desk, and said with a smile, "I read the letter from the south when Master was fighting outside, and there were a few lines in the letter that said that Ye Ma was so handsome, as it is now. This song "Treading a Horse", please appreciate it."
Fu Ming played the qin, Ren Lan held the pipa, and Zhao Yan also had a small drum in his hand. The three played in ensemble, the sound of the qin was like the whistling of the long wind, the lament of the horn, the bursts of shouting, the pipa like the clanking of a horse's hoof, the clanging of a sword, and the sound of drums, which brought Jin Yi into the battlefield again.
Towards the end of the music, the drums stopped, the pipa was plucked, and the only sound of the qin did not stop, like the afterglow of the sky after the war.
The lingering voice curled into my heart.
Jin Yi applauded and said "yes" three times in a row. After he had collected the musical instrument, his husband, sister, and son came forward together and honored him with a cup. This time it was tea.
Ren Lan said: "Good wine to the hero, tea and family, eldest brother, we are very happy that you can return safely."
Jin Yi raised his mouth slightly.
Zhao Yan asked, "Dad, does Yan'er's drum beat well?"
Jin Yi smiled even more, "Good shot."
Fu Ming just nodded to him, and Jin Yize said, "Another piece, I'll listen to it another day."
Another song? Should it be the song "Mingyue Night" that he promised to listen to when Jin Yi triumphed last year? Fu Ming replied "Okay".
After drinking wine, listening to music, drinking tea, and talking, Jin Yi was satisfied.
Looking at the hourglass, it was late at night, and Ren Lan said goodbye first.
Jin Yi stayed for a while and said to Fu Ming, "Jiang Yisun will visit the mansion soon, you can reunite."
Fu Ming was overjoyed when he heard the words, seeing that it was too late, knowing that it was inconvenient to ask more, he just nodded and smiled back, and persuaded Jin Yi to rest earlier.
Jin Yi took Zhaoyan away, and when he reached the door, he stopped and said, "I drank those medicinal powders, and I have never made any complaints."
Fu Ming asked, "Are there any injuries?"
Jin Yihui: "It's okay." Hearing a voice behind him, he walked away again.
On the way, Zhaoyan coquettishly said, "Daddy, can Yaner sleep with you tonight? Yaner misses Daddy so much."
Jin Yi also missed his son very much, so he agreed. The two slept in Zhaoyan's room. Zhao Yan hugged Jin Yi's arms, and before falling asleep, he muttered, "Dad, why do you never sleep in Fangmanting?"
Jin Yi was speechless, opened his eyes for a long time in the dark night, and finally couldn't resist the invasion of sleepiness, and fell into a dream.
In the dream, "Talking on a Horse" sounded again, but the sound of the piano gradually became soft again, and it seemed to be transformed into "The Night of the Moon". In the murmur of the piano, the person playing the piano raised his head, and he also looked over, with four eyes. Relatively... is a dream that he has never entered.
