Bright Moonlit Night

Just as Fu Ming said, people will return to court soon.

After Jin Yi led the army to arrive at the front line, he quickly sorted out the situation of the battle, and immediately issued a military order decisively, divided the troops and arranged them, and the situation quickly reversed.

However, in just over a month, Jin Yi had gained a great reputation in the army, but he did not dare to take his guard lightly. He still paid attention to the enemy's situation at all times, his eyes were like a torch 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, Jin Yi was very happy.After living in the capital for so many years, after going to the battlefield, the feeling of being restrained and having nowhere to use his strength disappeared, replaced by the smoothness of talent.

There was one thing that made him especially happy, and that was to take Jiang Yisun under his command.On that day, Jiang Yisun offered advice and solved the urgent need of the army.Jin Yiben thought that he just took advantage of the location.But since then, Jiang Yisun's performance has become more and more good, and his ability to seek martial arts has helped him a lot.The two had a deep talk all night in the camp. Jiang Yisun and Jin Yi agreed with each other about the current imperial military structure and border defense situation, and the talk was very speculative.

Therefore, Jiang Yisun was incorporated into his own army by Jin Yi and entrusted with important positions.

Spring begins in the south, and the spring grass gradually grows after the fires are gradually extinguished, and the ice and snow in Tanzhou have melted away.

When I came, it was wrapped in silver, and when I returned, the grass had no hooves, and the wild fragrance dazzled my eyes.

Without the anxiety and tension during the expedition, the marching speed of the triumphant team is not slow. It is not only a meritorious service, but also homesick.

It was rare to see a flat horse in front of him. Jin Yi competed with Jiang Yisun in riding skills, and he was far ahead of the army.At sunset, they stationed their horses under the setting sun, waiting for the team to catch up and set up camp.

The tender grass buds become golden in the sunset, stretching as far as the eye can see, and thousands of plants are stretching towards the end of the world.The two tied their horses to a wild tree and sat on the ground.

Jiang Yisun asked: "Brother Chang, Mrs. Sister-in-law, no, you are married to a man. I mean, how is your 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 Ming?

But he replied, "It should be fine."

"Should it be?" Jiang Yisun asked, "Did brother Chang borrow any correspondence with the family?"

Jin Yi shook his head, "The war is important. Besides, there is a family who has a child among the soldiers. He will be responsible for communicating with the family. If there is no abnormality in the family, it is safe."

When Jiang Yisun heard the words, he thought to himself, I don't know whether the elder brother is selfless because of his grand duke, or whether he cares little about his family.

Jin Yiben thought that Jiang Yisun was just mentioning something, but the other party seemed to be really interested in this matter, and asked: "After Mr. Fu married into the Jin family, can you still get along well with your family?"

Facing Shang Jin's inquisitive look, Jiang Yisun smiled and said: "Oh, why don't you just tell Brother Zhang Tian that I am old friends with Mr. Fu."

"How did you become an old friend with him?" Jin Yi was really surprised. These two people have different identities, hometowns, and experiences. They should be strangers who have nothing to do with each other.

Jiang Yisun said: "Brother Chang, you should know that the third master Fu is the adoptive son of the Fu family, right?"

Jin Yi nodded, "Grandfather Fu Ming has no children, so he adopted a distant nephew."

Jiang Yisun said with a smile: "It's inconvenient for me to say more about the twists and turns, but the third master Fu once worked in the Salesian Bureau in Kyoto, and there should be many people who know about it. The third master is poor but never loses his ambition, and he never forgets his roots when he is prosperous. After Fu's residence, he often went back to the Salesian Bureau. Mr. Fu was often taken to the Salesian Bureau by his father when he was still young. It was there that he and I met. There are many girls in the Salesian Bureau and few boys. I was accompanied by a child, Mr. Fu went, and the three of us played together. At that time, we didn’t know the dignity, Mr. Fu treated us like friends, so we formed a friendship. Later, when I became an adult, I asked Mr. Fu to pick up the characters for me. , he said it was against the rules, but there is no one in my family, and he is the most knowledgeable person I know, so he helped me get it."

Jin Yi smiled and said: "So that's how the word 'Xiang Xian' came from. In this way, you have known each other for a long time, no wonder you wanted to inquire about him." You can get together now. If another friend at that time is also in Beijing, invite him to go with you."

Jiang Yisun waved his hand, "That man is indeed in Beijing, but he has another way to go, I'm afraid he won't enter the Jin residence."

Jin Yi didn't ask any more questions, but said: "Then you come alone, he should be happy to see you."

Jiang Yisun laughed brightly, "I will definitely come to visit someday!"

The army entered Beijing from south to north, following the spring breeze.

The third prince was ordered by the emperor to meet the triumphant team outside the capital.Under the blue sky and white sun, the grandeur of the army made his heart throb. Without waiting for Jin to salute, he strode forward, clapped his hands on his shoulders, and said, "General Jin, you have worked hard!" He also congratulated him, and his kindness and respect were beyond words.Others took this scene into their eyes and remembered it in their hearts.

The three princes value martial arts, and they get along well with Jin Yixiang—the person who has a heart can be confirmed again.

After entering the pilgrimage, the Holy Majesty gave another compliment, and then rewarded him for meritorious deeds, and hosted a banquet to welcome the wind.The palace is brightly lit, reflecting the blooming spring flowers and the delicate face of the dancing girl Legie, which is intoxicating.

The prince immediately recited a long poem, recited the grace of heaven, and praised the military achievements, the dragon's heart was very happy.

Jin returned to Jin's mansion from the palace to deal with the emperor's princes, civil and military bureaucrats, and felt more tired than after Ming Jin's withdrawal.

The whole family gathered together, waiting for him to return in the front hall.Candlelight illuminated all familiar figures, and Jin Yi started to feel tired and exhausted.

Seeing someone, the old lady held up her hands, kept looking up, down, left, and right, and nodded with tears in her eyes: "Okay, okay, okay, it looks like I have gained experience, and I have the demeanor of a man from the Jin family!" Her voice softened again Ask, "Is there any injury? Are you tired? Are you hungry?..."

Jin Yihui shook the old lady's hand, agreed one by one, and then asked: "How is the old lady these past few months?"

Aunt Wang replied from the side: "The old lady has been fine for the past few months. After a year, she suffered from some wind and cold. I invited Imperial Physician Yu to come for a consultation and took a few medicines. She is fine now." She asked again, "My lord came back from the palace. , Are you full at the banquet? My concubine ordered someone to prepare a table of home-cooked dishes, which are all my favorite food on weekdays, and I will use some more. Take a bath after the meal 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, looked up and asked: "Father, after you send the old lady back to the house, if you are not sleepy, come to Yan'er!"

Jin Yi touched his head, and his voice was rarely so gentle: "Is Yan'er not sleepy?"

"Not sleepy, Yan'er is waiting for Daddy to come!" He stood on tiptoes, and when Jin Yi squatted down, he whispered a few words in Jin Yi's ear, and Jin Yi nodded, "Okay, Daddy will be here later." go."

Jin Yi supported the old lady, and said to the people in the room: "Let's go tonight, let's talk about it tomorrow if you have anything to say."

Fu Ming, Renlan, Xinyue, etc. all agreed with a smile. Aunt Wang still had something to say, so she called "Master", and Jin nodded, and replied: "When you enter the court today, the emperor talked about collecting donations for Tanzhou. Have a heart."

As Aunt Wang, she would not be missed by the princess, let alone mentioned by the emperor, but Jin Yifang made military achievements, and the princess deliberately mentioned a few words in front of the emperor. The emperor took this matter as icing on the cake at the banquet, He once again praised the men of the Jin family for leading the army to defend the country, and the family members were frugal for the people, and all the officials responded one after another.In any case, this is Jin Yi's face.

Aunt Wang was overjoyed when she heard the words, but she still didn't show it on her face.After Jin Yi finished speaking, he didn't stay any longer, and left with the old lady, and the people in the room quickly dispersed.

As the night grew thicker, the servants were discussing secretly in the house and in the corner of the yard:

Master led the army to fight this time and made great contributions. The Jin family will improve even more in the future...

When the master returned home, he didn't say a word to Mr. Fu, but he praised Aunt Wang...

It turns out that what Aunt Wang did that day was a good plan...

As expected, women know better about matters in the inner court, and how do men know how to compete for favor.Aunt Wang greeted the family with care and attention, but Mr. Fu remained silent, like a log.In contrast, the judgment is judged...

After being talked about by the servants, Jin Yi served the old lady to sleep, and instead of going to Aunt Wang's place, he went directly to Fangmanting according to what Zhaoyan whispered before.

Before stepping into the courtyard, there is a fragrance from the night breeze, and a few flower petals fly over the wall, as if welcoming visitors for the master.The gate of the courtyard was half open, Jin Yi walked in, and several lights were hung on the branches beside the winding path one by one. These lights were not as bright as the palace lights at night, but small and warm, illuminating a path leading directly to the steps.

Going up the steps and entering the house, Fu Ming, Ren Lan and Zhao Yan are all there.

"Daddy, this time I won't drink tea, but drink." Zhao Yan pulled Jin Yi to sit down, and Fu Ming poured wine.

Jin Yi asked: "Why did you change to drinking?" The palace drank a lot, although it was a little scattered on the road, it was still slightly tipsy.

Ren Lan said with a smile: "Only wine is a respectable hero."

Fu Ming raised his glass, Ren Lan also raised his glass, Zhao Yan replaced wine with tea, Jin Yi smiled knowingly, and raised his glass too, and the four of them drank together.

Fu Ming put down his cup, went to sit in front of the piano case, and said with a smile: "When my master was fighting outside, I read the letter from the south, and there were a few lines in the letter that said that my master was on horseback, as if at present. It's bold." This song "Treading on 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 a ensemble, the sound of the qin was like howling the long wind, the wailing of the horn, the bursts of shouting, the clattering of the pipa like the clanging of horseshoes, the clanging of swords, and the sound of the drums helped to bring Jin Yi into the battlefield again.

At the end of the music, the drums stopped and the pipa was plucked, but only the sound of the piano did not stop, like the afterglow of the sky after the war, the original evening wind, stroking the bloody battlefield and comforting the tired soldiers.

The lingering sound curls up, all entering the heart.

Jin Yi applauded and said "OK" three times.After collecting the musical instrument, his son-in-law, sister and son came up together to offer him a cup.This time it was tea.

Ren Lan said: "Toast the hero with good wine, clear tea and family, brother, we are all very happy that you can return safely."

Jin raised his lips slightly.

Zhao Yan asked: "Father, is Yan'er's drum beating well?"

Jin smiled even more, "Good shot."

Fu Ming just nodded to him, and Jin Yize said: "I'll listen to another piece some other day."

Another piece?It must be the song "Moon Night" that he promised last year to play and listen to Jin Yi when he returned triumphantly, right?Fu Ming replied "OK".

After drinking, listening to music, drinking tea, and talking, Jin Yi felt satisfied.

Look at the hourglass, it's late at night, Renlan bid farewell first.

Jin Yi stayed for a while, and said to Fu Ming: "Jiang Yisun will come to visit the mansion soon, you can reunite."

Fu Ming was overjoyed when he heard the words. Seeing that it was too late, he knew it was inconvenient to ask more questions, so he just nodded and smiled back, and advised Jin Yi to go to bed earlier.

Jin Yi led Zhao Yan to leave, and when he reached the door, he stopped and said, "I drank those medicinal powders, and I haven't been acclimatized."

Fu Ming asked, "Are you injured?"

Jin Yihui: "No problem." Hearing the answer behind him, he walked away again.

On the way, Zhao Yan acted coquettishly: "Daddy, can Yan'er sleep with you tonight? Yan'er misses Daddy so much."

Jin Yi also missed his son very much, so he agreed.The two slept in Zhao Yan's room.Zhao Yan hugged Jin Yi's arms, and before falling asleep, he muttered, "Daddy, why don't you sleep in Fangmanting?"

Jin Yi was speechless, opened his eyes for a long time in the dark night, finally couldn't resist the attack of sleepiness, and fell into a dream.

"Riding on a Horse" sounded again in the dream, but the sound of the piano gradually became softer, as if it had transformed into "Bright Moon Night". Amidst the sound of the piano, the player who played the piano raised his head, and he also looked over. Relative... is a dream he has never entered.
