After three days and three nights, Du Zheng finally reunited with Yun Qing within the stipulated time.
Looking at Du Zheng with bloodshot eyes, Yun Qing said, "Go down and rest, and we will discuss matters later." No matter how anxious, we can't ignore the bodies of the soldiers.
Du Zheng also didn't try to do so, nodded and said: "Yes."
Jiangnan is a rainy place. In the rainy season, the patter of rain will surely arrive as scheduled. When Yun Qing got up in the morning, he found that it was raining outside.
Slowly, the rain is getting heavier and heavier. On the roof, in the yard, a layer of misty white rain and mist was splashed, like a misty white yarn. A strong wind came, and the white yarn curled away. The raindrops obliquely hit the puddles in the yard, knocking out blossoming rain flowers.
When Du Zheng came over, he felt that Yun Qing was not in a good mood. Du Zheng naturally knew the reason, and said, "Master, the rain is not too heavy. We can attack the city as well."
When it rains, the city walls are relatively slippery, which increases the difficulty of siege. Yun Qing shook his head and said, "No, this kind of weather will cause more casualties."
Du Zheng said: "Then I can only hope that the rain will stop soon." When the rain stops, they can also attack the city.
Yun Qing felt a little worried, and said, "Hope!" Yun Qing was really worried about the rain for several days. It took such a long time to give Yu Baojia enough time to transport the property away. But let him disregard the lives of soldiers for money, he couldn't do it either.
Du Zheng said: "It would be great if we had a sailor." With the sailor, we can go to the sea to intercept those ships instead of sitting here and waiting.
Yun Qing said, "I don't need to talk about those assumptions. I just hope that the rain will stop soon."
As Yun Qing was worried, the rain has been falling for three days without stopping, and he is watching the trend that has not stopped.
Not to mention Yun Qing, even Du Zheng was a little anxious: "When will the rain stop?" If it's ten and a half months next, the day lily will really be cold.
Anxious, Yun Qing calmed down: "The gods are not beautiful, we can only wait patiently." God keeps raining, and it's useless for them to be anxious.
Du Zheng smiled bitterly: "I have always heard that there is a lot of rain in the south of the Yangtze River, but now I really feel it." The northwest is short of water, and when it is dry, the water is more precious than silver. There is too much water here.
Yun Qing said calmly, "Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice." Where does the fish and rice come from without water!
At noon that day, Yun Qing received Yuxi's letter. After reading it, Yun Qing's expression eased a lot.
Du Zheng did not ask. If it's a business matter, you don't need to ask Yun Qing to say it, and if it's a private matter, you won't say it.
After Yun Qing put the letter down, he said: "The princess said in the letter that she had sent someone to Fujian to find Qiuye." Fujian's sailors often deal with pirates, and their combat power is not comparable to those of Jiangnan. Of course, there is another point that Qiu Ye has 40,000 sailors in his hand, and Yu Baojia has only more than 10,000, so Qiu Ye will definitely have the upper hand.
Du Zheng understood as soon as he heard it: "The princess wants to ask Fujian General Qiu Ye to send troops to intercept Yu Baojia's fleet?" Seeing Yun Qing nodded, Du Zheng said with some worry: "Qiu Ye will grab those belongings. If you don't give it to us, what should I do?" Who would be willing to give it to others after grabbing a mountain of silver! It is definitely not willing to change to him.
Yun Qing said, "The worst thing is that all the money is taken away by Qiu Ye. It's better to give it to Qiu Ye than to let Yan Wushuang get it. But if Qiu Ye dared to swallow the share that should be given to us, wait until the Qiantang is laid down. Just send troops to Fujian." His advantage is not easy to take advantage of.
Du Zheng nodded and said, "The prince won't be able to leave me behind." Jiangnan is down, and then there are five places in Fujian, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangdong and Guangxi. These five places have been subdued, and the entire south is theirs. After a period of rest, then they will have a showdown with Yan Wushuang.
Yun Qing nodded and said, "Don't worry, you won't be left behind."
Changshui is overcast and rainy, but the northwest is sunny. When the weather is good, the mood is easy to get better.
That morning, Liuer gave a pair of socks to Yuxi.
Holding the socks, Yuxi smiled and said, "Occasionally, just do it, don't hurt your hands." The girl's hand, but the second face, shouldn't be full of pinholes.
Liu Er hurriedly shook his head and said, "No mother, I only do half an hour needlework every day." Liu'er's time is also arranged very closely. Although she doesn't practice martial arts, it is not the same way as Zaozao and the others, but she also has to become a leader in her own circle.
Yuxi touched Liu'er's head and said with a smile: "It's a good job, my mother likes it." The best encouragement for a child is to praise.
Hearing this, Liu'er smiled and his eyebrows curled up.
In the evening, Zaozao came back from the front yard with a bitter face, and Brother Hao'er and Brother Rui's expressions were not very good.
Yuxi smiled and asked, "What's going on, making you all look like eggplants that have been beaten by Shuang?" Zaozao rarely has this expression. It was also because the children were in the palace, and Yuxi knew that there would be no major issues.
Zaozao sat on the chair grinningly, and then said with a displeased expression: "It has been raining over Changshui, and it keeps coming down. Father is trapped by the rain and can't attack the city."
Yuxi laughed and asked, "That's it?"
Zaozao was dissatisfied with Yuxi's attitude: "Mother, what does this mean? How much do you lose if you delay a day?"
Yuxi won't laugh anymore, so that she won't be upset about her daughter: "You know how much you have lost. But Jiangnan is in the rainy season at this time, and your father happened to run into it, so there's no way."
Zaozao muttered: "Mother, you said it would be better if the rain over there was transferred to ours." There is a shortage of water on their side, but rain flooded in the south of the Yangtze River.
Yuxi couldn't help but laughed again: "If that's the case, then the mother won't worry about it."
Brother Hao felt that the topic was off track: "Mother, I heard that Yu Baojia has already prepared a ship to transport all the belongings to the capital. If there is any further delay, even if he lays down the Qiantang, he will get an empty city. ."
Yuxi said: "Heaven is not beautiful, there is no way." After a pause, Yuxi said again: "Aha, the rich land and abundant resources in the south of the Yangtze River are the most valuable. Yu Baojia hands It’s good to get the money here, but it’s okay if you don’t. As a superior person, one should not put too much emphasis on gains and losses, otherwise it is easy to lose peace of mind.
Brother Hao said embarrassedly, "Mother, I know."
Brother Rui said with a small fist, "Mother, when I grow up, I will lead my troops into the capital and take all their gold and silver treasures."
Yuxi laughed: "A Rui, don't kill and rob at every turn. When you grow up, you will be a general instead of a bandit." If you kill at every turn, you will not be a bandit.
Brother Rui touched his head and said, "Then I was wrong."
Yuxi smiled and said, "Go rinse your mouth and wash your hands. If you have anything to say before eating," Yuxi feels very good every time he chats with the children.
Not long after having dinner, Lu Shi came over. It was specially chosen at this time, and Lu Xiu knew that Yuxi would have time only at this time.
Zaozao and Brother Hao gave Lu Xiu a gift, and they all went out. What Lu Xiu talked about was all the family's long and short things, and they were not interested.
Lu Xiu took a sip of tea, and first mentioned some gossip that she had heard recently to Yuxi.
Ok-hee didn't think it was of any value after listening.
Lu Xiu hesitated, and told Yuxi about the Han family: "Wang Hao, a woman chewed her tongue in front of her sister-in-law and said that Feng Zhi'ao had been married, and her sister-in-law passed out of anger immediately."
Yuxi asked, "What then?"
Lu Xiu smiled bitterly: "After she woke up, I explained to her that it was nothing like that, but I don't know what happened to the sister-in-law. She believed that the family was closed for the purpose of destroying the relatives. The sister-in-law called to retire. ."
Seeing Yuxi's sardonic smile but not answering her, Lu Xiu knew that Yuxi was angry. But there is no way, this matter has to be resolved. Lu Xiu said: "She said that Feng's family was unreliable and could not harm Qiqi for a lifetime, and even dragged her sickly body to beg his mother."
Yu Xiren leaned on the chair and asked with a smile: "Mother won't agree to her absurd request, right?"
Lu Xiu shook her head and said, "Although the mother is older, she also knows that the marriage cannot be retired at will." Unless the man is really unbearable or commits some serious mistakes, women generally will not take the initiative to retreat. of. And Feng Zhi'ao is a good man, and this pro will definitely not find a better relationship than this after he retired.
Yuxi just asked casually, even if the Qiu family agreed to resign, the marriage could not be retired without the consent of the eldest brother.
Seeing that Yuxi didn't ask any more, Lu Xiu could only go on and say: "Sister-in-law sees that she doesn't make sense, so she will force Qiqi."
Yuxi didn't want to listen anymore, just asked: "Second sister-in-law came here specially today, what do you want me to do?" Now she is so busy every day, where should she take care of these trivial housework.
Lu Xiu smiled bitterly: "My mother and I both feel sorry for the child of Qiqi. She was forced to live by her sister-in-law... We really couldn't figure out a way, so my mother asked me to ask you for an idea.
Yuxi said indifferently, "My mother and my second sister-in-law have nothing to do, and I can't do the same." Qiqi is Ye's biological daughter. But if she changed her hands, Ye's health was not good, and once she had a shortcoming, she would be inhumane inside and out. And she didn't want to care about these nasty things in her natal family. Besides, she is so busy every day, how can she spare time to take care of these things.
Yuxi now knows how to marry a wife but the house is restless. After a pause, Yuxi said, "Second Sister-in-law, you send someone to tell the eldest brother and let the eldest brother take care of this." In the previous life, the Ye clan was stupid and brought Minjie's scourge into the palace. She didn't reflect on her fault, but instead thought that her mother supported Yu Minjie, treated her mother as an enemy, and finally made the entire Guogong Mansion a mess. This life hasn't stopped, lying in bed still tossing, just don't know when to toss myself to death.
Lu Xiu nodded and said, "Okay."
Yuxi thought for a while and said, "In addition, you told your eldest brother that Jiachang's marriage should be settled earlier." Jiachang is the eldest son of the eldest brother and the heir of the Han family. If his wife is not good for the third generation of the Han family, it will be ruined.
Lu Xiu nodded and said, "Okay."
Putting aside the matter, Yuxi smiled and asked, "It is April and the weather is the most changeable. Let the maid beside her be more careful." In this season, you will catch cold if you are not careful.
Lu Xiu responded with a smile, her smile a little unnatural.
Yuxi thought for a while and said, "When this war is over, I will let both the eldest brother and the second brother come back." The Qiu clan kept talking about the two sons, and it would not be a big deal for them to come back once the situation stabilized. If Ye clan can use it, in fact, Lu Xiu can follow Han Jianye to the post. It's a pity that Ye's became a waste. The Han family still needs Lu Xiu's care, so Lu Xiu can't leave.
Lu Xiu smiled a lot this time: "That's good." In the past few years, the couple had not many opportunities to meet each other every year.
Yuxi thought for a while and said, "You don't have to worry about the person who your second brother is in Shudi. Even if she gives birth to a child, she won't be able to pass you." Her brother, there are so many people who flatter themselves. At the beginning of last year, Han Jianye took a beautiful concubine without any control. The concubine gave birth to a son in February this year. The news was sent back to Haocheng, but Yuxi didn't know.
Lu Xiu smiled and shook her head: "Master is in Shudi, and there is a person who knows cold and hot next to him. This is a good thing." This is true. There are very few good men like Yun Qing in this world, and you have to be blessed to meet them. She asked herself that she was not a lucky person, so she didn't have such extravagant hopes. Besides, she felt that Han Jianye was already very good, at least he didn't accept them one by one like other men.
After sending off Lu Xiu, Yuxi couldn’t help but babbled to Grandma: “Grandma taught the eldest brother and Yuchen very well, but this vision is really not good.” Not even the Ye family, nor the Qiu family. A qualified master mistress.
The grandmother Quan said: "The old lady first looks at the family background, and then the ability and character." Those with good family background, ability and character, can't look down on the declining government office.
Yuxi shook her head and said, "The first step to choose a daughter-in-law is ability and character, as long as the family background is not bad." The family background is too bad, and the girl can't receive good education and training.
Mother Quan said with a smile: "In the future, the princess wants to choose any daughter-in-law for the elder son and the second master." Brother Hao and their daughter-in-law will be chosen by Yuxi in the future.
Yuxi smiled and said: "What I like is useless, it's most important for them to see it." The couple will live a lifetime, and if they don't like it, they won't be able to live peacefully in the future. Yuxi has a good life, and hopes that her children will live happily.
The whole mother disagreed, and said: "The princess also needs to hold her palms first. They are young and have little experience, and they are easily deceived by those scheming girls. That would not be appropriate." , But insidious and cruel inside, the grandmothers of this kind of women have seen a lot.
Yuxi smiled and said: "It must be to pass my eyes." This daughter-in-law has not chosen well, and she will have to follow suit in the future, so she will definitely not be able to enter the door without her consent.
Mother Quan thought for a while and said, "Wang Hao, the eldest son is also seven years old, should we buy more maids for him? The maids chosen this time are best to have outstanding looks." There are beauties around them, and they won’t be in the future. Will be hooked by a beauty casually.
Yuxi heard the implication of Grandma's mother, nodded and said, "It's time to put a few maids next to Ah Hao."
