Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.
After Li Yaonan left, Lin Yixuan calmed down and took care of her pregnancy. With Xu'er, Lin's mother and Yang Yi by her side, she didn't feel lonely, but she missed her husband very much.
The group rented a small courtyard in Yongzhou. They had servants to serve them and it was more convenient than staying in an inn. In just one month, Lin Yixuan gained a lot of weight. Xiao Xuer kept pestering his father for his younger brother, his big eyes full of curiosity: "Why hasn't my younger brother come out yet?"
Lin Yixuan smiled lightly and patted his son's head: "Xu'er, be good. Your little brother will be out in a few days. Xu'er, you have to be a good brother, okay?"
Xiao Xuer patted his chest and said, "I am a good brother and I want to play with my younger brother."
Lin Yixuan felt warm in his heart: "Well, our Xu'er has grown up and is a good child."
Xiao Xuer smiled happily, he loved growing up the most.
Lin Yixuan gently stroked her belly and stood at the window looking into the distance, wondering where her husband had gone? Was everything going well in Yunnan? Did he know that she missed him
On the other side, Lin's mother was also looking into the distance, holding needle and thread in her hand. These were small clothes for the baby. Jiuer was pregnant again, and she was very happy. As long as Jiuer could give birth, her brother-in-law would not take a concubine and others would not gossip. It was true that everyone has their own destiny. Who could have thought that Jiuer, after making a mistake, actually married a good husband who not only treated Jiuer well, but also respected herself very much, and was very promising. At a young age, he was already a sixth-rank official, and his future was limitless.
"Oh!" Mother Lin sighed deeply. Jiuer is fine now. She is only worried about her son and doesn't know when Yuaner will arrive.
"Aunt, why are you sitting by the window again?" As soon as Yang Yi entered the room, he saw his aunt's face full of worry. He knew that his aunt was worried about his cousin, but in fact, he missed him too. His cousin was serving in the army in Hezhou, not far from Yongzhou, so why had he not been seen for a month
Mother Lin waved her hand and asked Yang Yi to come to her side. She looked at the child in front of her carefully. She didn't expect that he had grown up in the blink of an eye. She patted his hands and said with a smile: "When your cousin comes, auntie will definitely arrange your marriage. Auntie, I don't ask for anything else now, I just hope that you and Yuaner can give me a grandson as soon as possible."
"Aunt—" Yang Yi stomped his feet, his face flushed with shame.
Mother Lin was amused and joked, "Why are you shy? You will have to go through this sooner or later. Yuan'er is not young anymore. I wonder if he has gained weight or lost weight in the past two years."
"My cousin will definitely take good care of himself." Yang Yi said firmly, not knowing whether he was comforting himself or his aunt.
Mother Lin sighed. She had originally expected her son to arrive in half a month, but a month had passed and there was still no news. How could she not be anxious? Although there had been no war in Dajin recently, there were still many bandits. She was afraid that something might happen to her son and he might get injured.
Lin's mother guessed correctly. Lin Zhiyuan was indeed injured this time. He was stabbed twice in the chest. Fortunately, it was not a vital part. After more than ten days of recuperation, he was able to get out of bed and walk. He got up early this morning and insisted on reporting to his superiors despite his subordinates' obstruction.
When Lian Jinghui saw him, he was furious and said angrily, "You are injured and still running around. Are you trying to kill yourself?"
Lin Zhiyuan forced a smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
"Who's worried about you?" Lian Jinghui was so angry that he vomited blood, but seeing that he looked so weak, he could do nothing. He ordered the soldiers beside him and shouted, "Hurry up and help him sit down."
"Oh!" The two boys were stunned, and hurriedly brought a chair and helped Lin Zhiyuan sit down.
Lian Jinghui was angry. When he saw him sitting firmly, he immediately started to curse: "Why are you working so hard? How can I explain to my father and aunt that you are injured and you can't rest properly? What are you doing?"
Lin Zhiyuan lowered his brows and listened to the lecture attentively. He knew that his senior brother cared about him, but he had his reasons for fighting to the death.
"Tell me, what is it that you want to ask me for again?" Lian Jinghui said impatiently. He had no idea what to do with this taciturn man. It was the first time he saw a young man from a noble family trying so hard.
"I want to be transferred to Yunnan."
"Yunnan—" Lian Jinghui unconsciously raised his voice and waved his hand to let others leave. After a brief thought, he immediately understood why Lin Zhiyuan was fighting so hard. He was furious and reached out to grab his collar: "You, you..."
Lin Zhiyuan gasped in pain. Lian Jinghui quickly let go of his hand and cursed, "Just because you wanted to go to Yunnan, you fought so hard to suppress the bandits and injured yourself? What's so good about Yunnan? Is it easier than working for me? Is it more promising than working here?"
Facing his senior brother who grew up with him, Lin Zhiyuan did not hide anything and said in all seriousness: "My brother-in-law is working in Yunnan, and my mother is accompanying him. The border of Yunnan is not peaceful, and there are many Yi people in that area. I am worried."
Lian Jinghui took a deep breath and suppressed his anger: "So you are willing to sacrifice your life for the position of Dusi."
Lin Zhiyuan lowered his eyes, an attitude that was tantamount to acquiescence. Only a Dusi could hold military power in a region and obey orders from the Ministry of War. He was unwilling to work under someone else.
Lian Jinghui frowned, knowing that it was useless to persuade him, and said calmly: "The Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou is not familiar with me. He is a person appointed by the emperor."
Lin Zhiyuan was silent. The general held great power, so how could the emperor be at ease without a few people in his entourage? He said indifferently, "The Governor's Office has nothing to do with me. I just do my job well."
Lian Jinghui looked at him suspiciously and said disdainfully, "What, you're not going to fight anymore?"
Lin Zhiyuan smiled faintly, with a hint of confidence in his tone: "Joining the army is my ideal, and it's also for my mother and my ninth brother. Now that they are all safe and far away from the capital, I have to work hard again. With my ability, am I still afraid that I won't be promoted?"
Lian Jinghui nodded and sighed, "It's best if you can think this way. We who join the army always have hidden injuries. We can't see them when we are young, but we will regret it when we are old. Military merits come step by step. There is still a long way to go. You are only twenty-three now, don't rush."
Lin Zhiyuan frowned, thinking of his master's health. He hadn't seen him for two years and wondered if he was still in good health.
Lian Jinghui seemed to know what he was thinking, and laughed, "Father is in good health. Your brother-in-law was the top scholar last year. We have enough military pay this year, but it's all thanks to him."
Lin Zhiyuan smiled in his heart, thinking back to the meeting in Yangzhou three years ago. He never thought that the frail scholar would be so promising.
"Okay, I've taken note of your matter. Take good care of yourself these few days, and we'll talk about other things later."
Lin Zhiyuan was anxious because his mother was still waiting for him in Yongzhou, and his little cousin was also there. His little cousin had finally grown up and was ready to get married.
Lian Jinghui waved his hand to stop him, and said calmly: "Stop talking nonsense. If you don't take care of your health, there's no need to talk about other things."
Lin Zhiyuan was depressed, but there was nothing he could do. He knew that his senior brother always kept his word, so he could only drag his seriously injured body back to recuperate. He decided to eat well and sleep well in the next few days, and try to recover as soon as possible. He was already impatient.
As for Lin Yixuan, perhaps because of her mood, the baby was very obedient this time and the morning sickness was not serious. Although she missed her husband, she knew what was more important. Only by taking care of her own health could she be with her husband as soon as possible.
Every day he forces himself to eat more. When he has free time, he will go shopping or chat with Lin's mother. Xiao Xuer likes to go out and play. Every time he goes to the street, he is always in high spirits, adding a lot of joy to the atmosphere at home.
Lin Yixuan knew that his mother and cousin missed his brother. As the waiting time got longer and longer, even he couldn't help but worry. Even though he knew that his brother would be fine, he was still afraid that something might happen. This life was completely different from the previous one. If something happened to his brother... ...
Lin Yixuan didn't dare to think about it anymore and could only try to divert his attention. He had a baby in his belly and couldn't think too much. However, no matter how he comforted himself and his mother, the atmosphere at home became heavier day by day, and even the smile on Lin's mother's face became less and less.
It was not until a team of soldiers from the Dusi came to deliver a letter that Lin's mother breathed a sigh of relief. However, Lin Yixuan felt nervous. Why didn't he tell her in advance that his brother was going to be transferred to Yunnan? Thinking of the war on the Yunnan border in four years, Lin Yixuan could only smile bitterly. She had originally hoped that her husband would leave after three years, but her brother came back again. It was really troublesome.
But it’s okay. After following Li Yaonan for a long time, Lin Yixuan has become bolder in thinking. As the saying goes, fortune and honor are sought in danger. His brother’s wish is to be on the battlefield. If he can let his brother show his talents, he must be very happy.
Reason told Lin Yixuan that his idea was correct, but his emotions made him worried. On the battlefield, swords and guns were indiscriminate. Although he knew that he should believe in his brother's ability, he still couldn't help but worry. It's better to be safe than sorry.
Lin Yixuan was upset and decided to go out for a walk. He knew that he shouldn't think too much about things that hadn't happened yet, but his mind couldn't stop wandering. Fortunately, his brother was promoted to Dusi now, and he was in charge of local military affairs. Except for the general, no one could tell him what to do, so there wouldn't be too many obstacles in his layout.
It was a complete mess. Lin Yixuan held her son's hand and thought silently in her mind how to remind her husband and brother so that they could prepare in advance.
"Daddy, daddy, look, there are bad guys." Xiao Xuer pointed to a place not far away and looked around curiously, but unfortunately he was too short and could not see anything.
Lin Yixuan burst out laughing, asked someone to pick up his son, frowned, and looked in the direction his son was pointing.
"Get out! This is not the place for you." A well-dressed butler arrogantly scolded a down-and-out scholar.
"I don't dare to pursue higher goals. I just want to get back the token of my parents." The scholar's face was gloomy. A closer look revealed that half of the face was destroyed and there was a child crying in fear next to him.
Lin Yixuan hurriedly covered the child's eyes. Xiao Xuer shook his head and said dissatisfiedly: "I am a man."
Lin Yixuan laughed and let him do what he wanted. He was in no mood to meddle in other people's business and said calmly, "Let's go."
Xiao Xuer pouted to express her protest, but she was in her nanny's arms, so she could only say depressedly that she could not be a hero.
Lin Yixuan glanced at him, and did not despise his son's young age. Instead, he reasoned with him in an orderly manner: "Before you meddle in other people's business, Xu'er should do what he can, understand?"
Xiao Xuer seemed to understand, but when he looked at his little arms and legs, he roughly understood what his father meant. His little heart was very troubled. When would he ever grow up
The author has something to say: Thank you, I will continue to work hard. o(n_n)o
Does everyone not love me anymore? There are so few messages these days, sob, sob, please comfort me, please touch me.
