Dowry maid's daily life [Red Mansion]

The Taishanghuang did not survive the winter and the spring came, and died on the 21st of the first lunar month.

The whole world is plain.

Because the Supreme Emperor and the old sage left a will, he ordered the world: music, marriage, official suspension for a hundred days, common people for one month. (Note) People at that time all praised the late emperor for his benevolence and love for the people.

The Emperor Taishang made a grand trip, and the clan had to keep the system for 27 months. The emperor changed the day to the month, and the filial piety could be performed on the 27th.But today, I have a deep relationship with the Supreme Emperor, and the emperor's nature is more genuine. Although he did not violate the imperial edict when he insisted on the obedience, he never stayed in the harem until the official and the people released the obedience. Extra restraint, Dayou and the same clan usually keep their feet on the trip of "National Mourning and Stop Pregnancy" in 27 months.

Therefore, although filial piety has been removed in the capital, the subjects dare not wantonly feast and have fun. Several auspicious wedding days in the first and fourth months were abandoned. Occasionally, there were a few happy events, and the red sedan chair was replaced with a blue one, which was very low-key.But this is the external situation after all, and it does not affect the small days of each household behind closed doors.

What's more, because of the majestic posture of the emperor, the court is more stable than last winter. No matter whether the clan or the ministers are honored, no one dares to lift the tiger's beard when the emperor is mourning.It was the same in the previous dynasty, and the same in the harem: the princes studied literature and martial arts in a regular manner, and the biological mothers of the princes also learned to keep quiet, and the palace was quite calm.But at this point, I really know my sorrows and joys--the joy is naturally that the ladies who already have the emperor's side, in the face of so many delicate flowers that have just come in, it is useless for nearly three years to hide their strengths and bide their time.The sad thing is that the concubines of the ranks were newly conferred after entering the palace. Not to mention the time spent, I also know that during the past three years of guarding the system for the former emperor, I don’t know how many clan children who should be married will be backlogged. When the election starts again, there will be many fresh beauties entering the palace, and it will be difficult to get ahead.

Xue Baochai is one of the people who should be sad and sad.Although she was named noble, she belonged to some of the higher ranks among the newly recruited concubines this time, but because she didn't have a title, she had to be ranked among Wan Zhaoyi, Kang Guiren, Min Guiren and several lucky ones. After the selection of a servant, the status is not high or low, neither is it easy to succumb to Wan Zhaoyi who is only a little taller than her, nor is it beneficial to attract others to obey her, so others see it as more embarrassing.

Aunt Xue and Xue Pan had only been happy for two months, but in a blink of an eye they were burning with anxiety, but Aunt Xue had no official order and Xue Pan had no official position, so she couldn't help at all, so she had to beg Wang Ziteng in a hurry.It's just that it wasn't the time when Wang Ziteng wanted to support the inner palace in the early years. If it weren't for the turmoil caused by Aunt Xue, Wang Ziteng would not have planned to let his relatives, nieces and nieces into the palace.

Whether it is a blessing in disguise or a misfortune, Baochai enters the palace and is sealed, following the ecstasy and decline of the Xue family, Wang Ziteng refuses to get involved. Teng then resigned from the post of Jiedu envoy of the Beijing camp.Now he is taking leave of absence at home on the grounds of relapse of old injuries, in order to show that he is stubborn and firm in asking for military power.There has always been a saying "if you don't advance, you will retreat" when you are an official. Aunt Xue and others naturally don't understand Wang Ziteng's way of doing this, but Mrs. Li deeply agrees that it is the best policy to leave room for future generations. Because when Aunt Xue was persuading and complaining, she said: "Ji Liu bravely retreats is called knowing the opportunity, the master is like this, because the niece is named a nobleman."

Aunt Xue cried: "Could it be that Bao girl is blocking her uncle's way? There are many women in Da Nei who come from famous families, there is no reason for that."

Mrs. Li is very sad about the transfer of Eucommia and Song Chen to Liaodong, but she has no objection because Wang Ziteng, Chen Ziwei and others planned and planned for the children. If you have little knowledge, you can only say: "Women don't have a golden lock that a monk can afford, which is worthy of jade, and is engraved with 'never leave, never give up, and stay forever'! With this name, you think Is it easy for the child to live in Da Nei? The former master also said that the silence at this time is a blessing or a curse for Xue Guiren, but he can hide from it and make more calculations. After two or three years like this, even if someone who cares about it repeats the old saying It's okay. Xue Gui is careful and low-key in everything, is it because he is tired of carrying things, and you have forgotten what the nobleman told the aunt to "keep the family business and don't show off"?"

Aunt Xue was frightened and became more and more suspicious: "No wonder eunuch Xia sent someone to say that the nobleman's life in the palace is difficult and needs money. It can be seen that Bao girl is really suffering, and I caused her..."

When Mrs. Li heard it, she looked over immediately: "When did it happen? How did you say it? Did you give it?"

"It happened three days ago." Aunt Xue said that the little eunuch only said these two words when he came to the door. He asked for 600 taels, and she gave some extra, and asked him to bring in a thousand silver notes.

"Stupid!" Mrs. Li patted the kang angrily: "You are used to asking for ideas, why didn't you send someone to ask your brother, ask me? If you don't come here now, you haven't planned to say anything. What! In the past, it seemed that you had a method in your actions, why are you getting more and more stupid now?"

Aunt Xue was startled by Mrs. Li, and her heart became more and more anxious, she hurriedly took her hand and asked: "Sister-in-law, but I gave Bao'er some money, is there something wrong?"

Mrs. Li remembered that she had supported her family business in the past thanks to Baochai’s support. Now that Baochai has entered the palace, this sister-in-law has no one to persuade her. This one must be the same. One is that the time is not right, and the country’s filial piety is at the head; the other is that the palace rules are strict, who dares to say 'dot' in the open?"

"Maybe it was done by the chief eunuch in charge of the palace, or maybe it was in his name, but if there is one, there are two. If you give them all your family wealth, I guarantee that even one tael of silver will not fall to Mr. Xue Gui." In the hand, it will make people look down on the nobleman, and say that it will not cause trouble!" Mrs. Li said bluntly: "The first time was just a temptation, and what you gave was not enough, and you will add another big sweetness, you just wait, It will definitely be returned within a month—for the gold and silver of your Xue family, Xue Guiren had promised to live a good life, but this guy has to be a stumbling block, otherwise how can he cheat money from you? What? I advise the aunt to be more careful. At this time, it is better to ask Pan'er to scare them back with some brutality. Just say that the Xue family is the head of the family. It is not as easy to fool as a soft wife like you. Can you stop it? At that time, ask the nephew to send someone to tell his uncle in front of them, do you think the little eunuch will run away immediately in fright!"

With a long sigh, Mrs. Li said again: "What about 'Bao Yatou' and 'Bao Er', my aunt, please be careful, don't cause trouble for Mrs. Xue! The master said that the nobleman knows his heart well, and the most rare thing is that she is sensitive and not in a hurry. , calm and good-natured, as long as the family doesn't piss her off, the nobleman will have her own plans..."

Aunt Xue lost her backbone and dared not speak up.But the latter son, Wang Ziteng, also asked Xue Pan to reprimand and teach them. The two mothers and sons did not dare to make their own claims anymore, and did not mention what they said. The nobleman saved a lot of worries.

Besides, Wang Ziteng and his wife were at a time when they were reluctant to part with their son, daughter-in-law, niece and niece leaving Beijing, and they were distracted by the matter of Xue's family. Where did the letter ask?How are you on the way?

----

But it turned out that the Mausoleum of the Taishang Emperor collapsed, the situation in the sea and borders was unstable, and the neighboring vassal states tried several times, ready to move.In addition to the deployment of the South China Sea Guard, we have also taken measures to stabilize the northern frontier, replacing appropriate generals, replacing soldiers in each guard station, further replacing and promoting young men, and holding the defense of the northern region in our hands.

Young soldiers like Eucommia and Song Chen, who had the merits of suppressing rebellion when they were in Zen, are naturally classified as credible and usable people. Many of them have been promoted by the sage's grace, and have experienced in Zhili and other close emperors. In the period of two or three years, it was indeed time for Sapai to go out to defend the land and protect the country for the king.

Due to the remoteness of Liaodong, although the fertile land is thousands of miles away, the local folk customs are strong. In the past few dynasties, it was more a place where prisoners were exiled. It was difficult for ordinary civil and military officials to adapt and subdue the local prominent families. Many of the officials in the command and envoy division are of local origin.Song Chen made a lot of contributions in Kaiping Wei, and was promoted as an exception because he was born in a prominent family in Liaodong. He was promoted to the third-rank commander of the rear guard commander of the Liaodong capital, plus the rank of general, and he holds the real power to lead the army.

As for Eucommia, because he was transferred from the Jingwei command and envoy, he should be promoted by half a rank as usual. When the imperial court transferred soldiers on a large scale, Eucommia used his colleagues and old friends to make efforts in Liaodong.In the eyes of most people, Liaodong is just a place of bitter cold, even getting promoted there is also a hard job. It is not easy to be transferred from Liaodong to Beijing, but it is not difficult to be transferred there.Du Zhong's actions were dissuaded several times by his friends in the military department, because military officers in Liaodong were changed slowly, and once they were sent there, they often couldn't leave for several or ten years.If you want to practice hard work, it is not as good as the sea and the border, and if you want to enjoy peace and prosperity, it is not as far away as Jiangnan...

But what Du Zhong likes is the word "stable". He has thought of taking his younger sister away from Liaodong several times in the past.This time, the younger brother and sister-in-law want to bring An An back to his hometown. On the one hand, he is reluctant to worry about his sister, and on the other hand, because he has no ambition to become a lord and prime minister, he wants to avoid the rising turmoil in the court. Liaodong is a stable place. ideas.

Chen Ziwei and Wang Ziteng thought further: the battle between the Holy Majesty and the princes must involve military power, and the three major battalions defending the capital are the most important and the best place to interfere. It is inevitable that military officers will fight each other.Once this is the case, such as Eucommia, Song Chen and other high-level generals will be among them, and they will not escape the catastrophe... Since they want to avoid the vortex, the children will eventually leave Beijing before they are able to protect themselves. I can't even stay, so why not choose a place that can guarantee stability?

Each of these masters and old foxes has won the treacherous struggle, but they are willing to exhaust their efforts to fight and fight, but they are not willing to do the same with their nephews. It is inevitable to pave a road of "safety first" come out.Although Liaodong looks bad, there are many civil and military officials who were killed or even killed here, but after careful inspection, it is found that very few died of strife and struggle here. Most of them died because of bandits and thieves.Du Zhong and Song Chen are both military generals, it is expected that their bodies will not be as weak as the former case, but the latter one will die well, but all the soldiers and their relatives have a clear understanding.

Chen Ziwei and the others were not too worried about the two of them being involved in the military affairs, but only worried about the children dying in the faction game, so they searched all sides, and the extreme north became the best place to practice—not to mention that the Song Dynasty Chen was born in a prominent family with a great surname in Liaodong, with his own roots. Their brothers and sisters have supported each other for many years, and they have a perfect understanding.After ten years as an official in Liaodong, he learned everything he needed to learn, and when he returned to Beijing, his rank and official position had reached a certain level, and he had enough energy to protect himself.

So Song Chen went directly from Kaipingwei to Liaodong at the end of March, while Du Zhong was half a month late, and he was promoted to Liaodong guard as he wished, half a level lower than his sister-in-law.The time limit for the imperial court's transfer order was very tight, so it was not easy to bring the female relatives with them, and Yun'an and Yingchun had a lot of things to deal with in the capital, so they didn't leave until the summer heat subsided in July.

But until October, the two senior brothers had not waited for the sweet wife, and the two senior brothers had a quarrel. If the letter hadn't been broken, the two of them would have given birth to the heart of leaving without authorization.The personal guards and confidantes kept sending out, but except for one or two who sent back and forth, even the rest of the people who sent out stayed behind, saying that grandma ordered things to be done, and finally received the letter saying that they had entered the border of Xiangping, but the convoy returned Turned to Heishui Village to check on Zhuangzi.

After waiting for another five days, Du Zhong became more anxious and frowned: "Didn't you remind An An in your letter?"

Song Chen shook his head. In his letter, he only told An An to take care of his body. The rest was about his recent situation, the different customs of this place, and some interesting things. Second, because of An'an's temper, she was afraid that she would not write so many pages of letters.Song Chen felt that he was not stupid. He had seen An An's enthusiasm on the way from Duzhong to Kaipingwei, and knew that she liked what she saw on the road, so why would she pour cold water on it?

It's just that senior brother's expression of hating iron and steel is too irritating, Song Chen paused, and asked back: "Senior brother urged sister-in-law?"

Du Zhong: "..." He was not willing to rush his wife and sister.

The brothers and sisters looked at each other speechlessly.

The two relatives who were sweeping the floor outside the door shook their heads secretly, but before they could mutter and laugh at the people in the hall, they looked at the house and sighed for themselves first—God, there are two big houses, but the master in the main hall is here. There are only six or seven people left in the internal system!If the grandmas don't come again, it will be hard for them rough men to die just by sweeping!

At the same time, in Heye City, about fifty or sixty miles away from Xiangping County, in the ancestral house of the Song family in Liaodong, a middle-aged beautiful woman dressed in Jiangnan style said to the old lady of the Song family: "I heard that Brother Chen bought a There is no girl and daughter-in-law in the mansion in the old mansion. This... Brother Chen's wife is a little jealous, there is not even a girl who waits for brother to wash, and brother Chen has to do everything by himself. Madam sent a few able-bodied people to serve in the past?"

The old lady Song seemed to be sleeping but she half closed her eyes, and after a while she smiled slowly: "Brother Chen is a military officer, and he didn't have any maids to serve him when he was in the barracks. Brother Chen's daughter-in-law hasn't come yet, why don't we send an article first? Don't worry about the head of the house, the lady who is the head of the family, never underestimated the girl! Why do you pay a few taels of money to hire someone else's girl for a few years, and you will break the rules and treat her as a human being, and you can handle it like a pig or a dog?"

The beautiful woman got up and blessed herself: "My daughter-in-law doesn't dare."

The old lady Song nodded after a while, and waved her hand: "Sit down, sit down. I remember that the two girls in your house are almost 20 years old, oh, they are not young, it's time to give the deed to others It's not easy for them to serve you, so I'll give them a dowry. Your second uncle has a dozen fellows of the right age. They are all good young people. Let the two children choose among themselves, which one you like tell me……"

After half an hour, the beautiful woman came out of the Songhe Hall, swaying and gritted her silver teeth: she was talking about Brother Chen's affairs, and the old fool was dragged to an irrelevant girl!After nagging for a long time, he failed to accomplish his business, and instead let out the two beautiful girls that he had picked out with great difficulty in the past!It's even more difficult to live with other thick-handed and big-footed girls.

In Songhe Hall, Mrs. Song came out from the back hall: "The fifth daughter-in-law is here again? What does she want to pick?"

At this time, Mrs. Song stopped being sleepy, and took a sip of hot tea: "Say Brother Chen's daughter-in-law is jealous, so don't arrange for him to serve her."

"You bastard! I had a hard time with Brother Chen's mother back then, and now I'm telling the truth about Brother Chen's wife. At that time, I forced the eldest daughter-in-law to remarry with Brother Chen. What kind of bad idea did you come up with this time? Old lady, what should I do?" It's cured!"

This pair of old people are the grandparents of Song Chen's direct relatives. Many years ago, the eldest son of the Song family died young, and his wife brought his second son to marry Lord Xie.Originally, there were more men than women in Liaodong, and it was very common for widows to remarry, but there were not many widows with their ex-husband's sons. This was because the local people generally respected the clan. If the father died and the mother married, the clan would raise the children of the same clan. , especially those who are prosperous like the Song family, grandparents and uncles are all present, not to mention only Song Chen, even ten of them can be raised very well.But back then some people led by Song Wu's wife caused a series of incidents, which completely drove Song Chen's mother into a hurry. Today's Mrs. Xie is also from Wangmen in Liaodong. Mrs. Xie's parents and patriarchs came to discuss in person. He refused to keep Song Chen in the Song family.

The root of that old incident lies in Mrs. Song Wu. This Mrs. Song Wu was born in a scholarly family in a foreign land, and by chance, she married into the Song family, a big family in Liaodong.Liaodong is rough, the Song family has a generous family style, women are used to being treated with respect and courtesy, but the fifth wife of Song Dynasty doesn't realize it, but thinks it is vulgar, and talks about educating women's moral dogma that binds women themselves everywhere.Song Wu's health is not good, and it's not easy to marry a wife from a similar family in the local area, so he spent a lot of dowry to hire a wife from other places. The girl who came here was promoted to a concubine's room, and only Song Wu became a rare concubine in this city. It's really embarrassing-the girls in northern Xinjiang are few and precious, and this will make it difficult for Song Wu's son's marriage up.Mrs. Song Wu still thinks she is generous and virtuous, and she doesn't even listen to Song Wu's persuasion.

Xu Shi's husband and wife really didn't get along, and Song Wuyu passed away a few years ago, leaving behind only a two-year-old daughter.The fifth wife is determined to keep the chastity, and rejects all matchmakers and the Song family's persuasion. The clan sees her like this, so they let her go, and only ask Haosheng to treat and support her.Who would have thought that the Fifth Wife was bewildered, and her money as a "virtuous woman" began to arouse this trend, because she was able to speak well, and really deceived some women, who believed in her chastity...

In the first year of the new year, everyone didn't take it seriously, but the female family members who didn't like to listen to her words just avoided her. It wasn't until Song Chen's mother stayed for three years that her husband was filial piety and was ready to go home and remarry. The five wives jumped out At this time, the whole family knew the harm: there have always been more men than women in northern Xinjiang, and it is not uncommon to transfer houses in the local area. For generations, there is no reason why widows are not allowed to remarry!If we follow the bullshit principle that the fifth wife said that men have three wives and four concubines, and women live in one place, most of the men will be single, and within a few generations, the population will be so depressed that they cannot resist wild beasts. A pack of wolves alone can wipe out the human population.

At that time, the Song family came forward to confine the fifth wife, and at the same time gave in to Mrs. Ren Xie to take her son to remarry.It's not that the Song family never thought of sending the fifth wife back to her natal family, but the fifth wife's natal family refused to accept her, and the fifth wife was almost forced to hang herself by her natal family.The Song family couldn't do it, the old lady took the fourth granddaughter under her knees to raise her, and allocated a small yard for the fifth wife to observe festivals. She wanted to be clean and chaste, so no one was allowed to disturb her.In the past ten years, Mrs. Song Wu has been spreading her rhetoric again, and even her own daughter does not believe it, but this person may be trapped to the point where she refuses to understand, and she still clings to her "female virtue". Jump out and point fingers.

For example, this time, it was just a few joking words from the sons of the clan who followed Song Chen's command back home, and it was heard by the fifth wife, and immediately made a fuss, and ran to Songhe Hall to ask for instructions.

The old lady Song was not as disgusted as the old man, she shook her head and said indifferently: "It doesn't make sense for me to talk about what she is doing, so why waste your words. She framed herself to death, and she didn't even want to go out as a guest, and she just ran to me Here and the second daughter-in-law, the head sister-in-law, who will take care of her, let her go if there is any hindrance. For our sister Zhi's sake, just be a stupid statue."

As the old man spoke, his thoughts turned to Song Chen: "I don't know what kind of temper Brother Chen's daughter-in-law is? Why haven't you come here for so long? Don't you think it's bitter, cold and remote here?" But don't be the fifth daughter-in-law's kind of "return to read the book to death", even if she looks a little bit, her old man can't accept it.

Having been with him for most of his life, the old man Song still couldn't see what the old wife was thinking, so he immediately shook his head and said, "How do you say that word—yes, it's unfounded! Brother Chen himself has gone through his mother's past, how could he be willing to make trouble for him?" Boss? Besides, it’s not that you haven’t met his eldest brother, that boy Du is a good boy! With such a brother, our third grandson and daughter-in-law can’t be bothered! You can put your old mind of fooling around in your belly... ..."

"You old bird, you know a fart!" The old lady gave a blank look, didn't you listen to the people who followed Brother Chen, what is this grandson and daughter-in-law? He was taught by the empress, and he was born extremely beautiful, well-educated, and well-managed... How can there be such a perfect person in the world, even if there were, they would not fall into the small temple of their old Song family!

Mrs. Song also has some knowledge, knowing that the more beautiful women from high-ranking families in other places, the more they pay attention to female virtues. Besides, the emperor has more rules, and it is normal for people like the fifth daughter-in-law to be there.Thinking about it this way, the daughter-in-law of the third grandson who is full of praise is probably an upright person, but how can the old lady not think about it.

"Ah!" On the official road hundreds of miles away from Heye City, there were dozens of horse-drawn carriages. In the front carriage, Yun An couldn't help but sneezed, and rubbed his nose in wonder: "Who is here?" Talk about her?

"Catching a cold?" Yingchun was a little nervous, stuffing the stove into Yun'an's arms, while taking a light fur crane cloak from under the seat: "Put on the cloak quickly." It's not yet October, and there have been several heavy snowfalls on the way here.

Mei Yue, who was also a married woman, approached the car window and shouted to the outside: "Give us a pot of hot water in the car behind."

Mei Yue's husband, a Xiaoqi under Song Chen's command, hurriedly turned the horse's head, brought a copper pot from behind, and handed it in through the window: "The carriage should be steady, my wife be careful not to burn it."

Mei Yue glanced at him, then hurriedly put down the leather curtain and fastened it tightly to block the cold wind outside, then turned around and refilled the cups of Yun An and the others with hot water: "Is it too watery, why don't you add more jam?"

Yun An smiled and said, "Don't worry, I didn't catch a cold, it's fine."

While talking, he held up the thick account book in his hand, and said to Yingchun: "This Pan You'an is quite talented, and he has to work hard to buy Zhuangzi who is in his heart this time."

Yingchun shook his head: "Only use him for the sake of playing chess. After all, this person is timid and fearful. I need to look again, otherwise I will be reluctant to give him my chess game."

Yun An just smiled and said nothing, this Pan You'an is really timid, because his family caught him secretly giving things to Si Qi before, he ran away in fear of crime, and Si Qi and others couldn't even tell him to stop, almost made him strong Sexual Siqi cried to death with anger.It's just that no matter how much it is, Yun'an still remembers that this person has a bit of sincerity that those love saints and lovers in the original book can't match, and he is willing to play favoritism for chess.It was precisely because of this that he was given another chance this time. Unexpectedly, Pan Youan really had some talent in the trading business—he really exchanged the hot money they earned from receiving and reselling the goods all the way. Dear little Zhuangzi.

Although the newly added hot spring village is only [-] mu, it is just on the edge of Liaodong County, and it is suitable for the family. Besides, there are several springs at the root of the mountain. In the future, one will be built like Longwei Zhuangzi in the west of Beijing. Isn't it beautiful to have a small courtyard.

She was fascinated by her thoughts again, Yingchun and Meiyue looked at each other and smiled, Meiyue took the cup and bowl out of her hand, and sighed: "Good girl, good grandma, don't think about the money and farmland for now. It’s about to enter the city—either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, but I have to go to see my uncle’s house, so why not think about it!”

Hearing this, Yun An patted Mei Yue's arm: "I haven't seen anyone yet, and it's useless for me to worry, so why bother yourself, I have your son-in-law by your side." When a man makes a fuss, it's his time to do it. The good medicine that harmonizes and binds is not because of Song Chen, so what does the Song family have to do with her?

Yingchun was also a little worried. Fortunately, the Song family's ancestral home was not in Fucheng, and the younger sister-in-law left home at a young age, and the family was already separated. In this way, they only met a few times a year, and it was enough to be filial to send people to ask for peace and deliver things. up.

Mei Yue held Yun An's hand, opened her palm, pointed at the few remaining scratches and said, "Don't mention anything else, but you must never do such a thing again. I heard that my uncle's grandparents are all old. If the old man is frightened, it will be really bad!" After the girl got married, she became more and more indulgent by the uncle's favor, and she didn't even want to do the superficial things in the past: two days ago, the official road was blocked by mountains, rocks and rough trees. A section blocked the way of several teams of carriages and horses. She didn't watch any of them, and asked the girl to slip down to help in a rotten sheepskin jacket. Fortunately, there were snowflakes floating in the sky, and the girl covered her tightly, so that no one else was disturbed. , It's just that some people in my team still talk about the fact that there was a short and thick boy with great strength that day.

Yun An hurriedly clenched her fist and drew her hand back. The wind and snow were getting stronger that day, and the people behind caught up again, and it was impossible to make a detour, so she couldn't help being anxious.What's more, since getting married, her strength seems to have been blessed by consecration, and it is even stronger than before. I am afraid that even her brother can't match it. It's a pity that such a talent should be used when it is time to use it. The big scene of "pulling weeping willows upside down", but everyone stopped them in a panic, only Daiyu joined in...

"Oh, brother Xie's movements are too slow." Yun An sighed.

Yingchun also sighed, before the death of the Supreme Emperor, Xie Lin's family finally agreed on their marriage, but General Xie had already planned to release him from Beijing, it really took a long time, I'm afraid it will take a year or two to complete.It should be known that although General Xie is not in the rear guard of Xiangping County, he also serves in northern Xinjiang. This should be discussed by the three men earlier.The Marquis of Dingcheng was originally from Tiefengcheng's ancestral home, and Xie Jing was the first to be transferred among the three, and he belonged to the Liaodong Capital Division under the Political Envoy Division of Shandong Chengxuan.Later, Song Chen pushed the boat along the way, while Du Zhong deliberately did so.If Xie Jing moved faster, maybe the three of them would be able to go north together. Yu'er and the two of them may not be in the same county, but they are not separated by thousands of miles like they are now.

The two sisters-in-law discussed writing another long letter and entrusted Xinglong Bodyguard Bureau to deliver it to Beijing: "A few more heavy snowfalls will make the road even more difficult. I'm afraid it will be difficult to send it to my sister a year ago."

Meiyue Xiuju and the others have long been used to correspondence with Ms. Lin more frequently than with uncles, and now even the escorts who escorted the bodyguards on this trip for more than two months are not surprised. Anyway, the letters go back and forth. The more they earn, the more they earn.

While talking about trivial matters, a voice suddenly came from the front: "Let's go to the city!"

Mei Yue's husband also approached the carriage, and replied in a low voice: "I am waiting for the city gate to check. I have sent someone to report to the house."

Lifting up the car curtain, Yunan saw the towering iron-gray city wall. It was getting late and gray, and the north wind whimpered outside the curtain, and a few snowflakes were blown in—"It's snowing again." In the car The female relatives took a deep breath at the same time, and suddenly couldn't wait to take a look at this place where they will make their homes in the next few years.

As Fang entered the city, there were two figures riding horses and snowing in the distance.

"I'm going home." The two guards of the brothers and sisters stood on both sides of the carriage.

The rest of the chariots, horses, and people had already been led by clever detours to the various gates of the house.

Yunan bent down from the car window and asked Song Chenxiao if she was tired in a low voice. For some reason, a sentence suddenly floated in his mind: "I return on a snowy night."

Before Yun An could appreciate this rare state of mind, there was a delicate sound of "Mi woo——" from a pile of cushions in the corner of the carriage.

The lion cat Xue Tuan'er woke up after sleeping for most of the day.
