He Ya has always felt a little uneasy recently. There is still a stalemate on the other side of Xi Di, and there is news of Rong invasion from the Ulamul Desert on the border. He Yan had to abandon Xi Di. Fortunately, she never
I have the temperament to do loss-making business, and I have already gained a lot of benefits. At this time, I will not lose much if I walk away.
There was a troublemaker who always had to follow behind and worry a lot. He Yan took the benefits and walked away. Zhi Di could not break his promise to Xi Di. He Ya shook her head helplessly and signed the appointment.
The second brother, Ho Hung, went to take over the assistance matters of Xi Di.
He Hong came to meet before he left, and the two of them finished talking about political affairs. He Ya asked about He Mu's recent academic performance. He Hong replied that Mu'er was very diligent."
He Ya's face showed a bit of relief. I have a lot of things here, so I can't take them into consideration. He is a boy, and he doesn't want to talk to me. I have to ask you to worry more. "
He Hong hesitated for a while and said, Mu'er is very diligent in his studies. The masters are also knowledgeable. It's just that he is fasting all day long, for fear of being superficial and having the worry of talking on paper."
Hearing her brother talk about this, He Ya couldn't help but sigh deeply. She also had He Mu's problem. The growing environment was too simple, which made him grow up with a clean and clear temperament. Although it was not good for her. But
I always felt that the child had not grown up yet, and it would be too late to teach him again in two years. So I put it off.
In addition, there is another annoying thing. She will be thirty-five after the New Year, and she has not been pregnant with another child in so many years. At this age, she does not expect to have another daughter. Then the matter of the heir to the city lord must be considered.
Originally, He Yan was the perfect candidate. But He Yan also had a fatal flaw, that is, she was already twenty-eight years old and she still didn't want to have a biological daughter. She was still single. This problem became a big problem.
As the lord of a city, ability is important, but responsibility is even more important. He Yan, a general who is not married and living as he pleases with a group of servants, is obviously not qualified to be the lord of a city.
In this way, the two daughters of the younger brother He Hong's family are more favored by the ministers. But the problem arises again. It is one thing for He Yan to be convinced by his eldest sister. He wants her to serve as the main niece of her junior niece who is inferior in everything.
This is obviously impossible.
The last thing He Ya wants to see is family strife. He Yan's marriage is the key. Her internal strength has been refined to the point of pure essence, and her body is as good as that of a girl in her early twenties. She can even give birth in her thirties. If
If you work harder and get married and pregnant next year, things won't be so difficult.
There were too many things to worry about. My mother was very luxurious during her lifetime. She spent all her time hunting and not interested in political matters. This left her with a mess. It took her more than ten years of hard work to manage the family affairs of Zhidi.
It was inevitable that I had ignored some of them. As a result, something went wrong, and it seemed like there was going to be a problem. It was really worrying for everyone.
When He Hong saw that she was silent, he decided to remind her. The tactful way of saying that Mu'er seemed to have something on her mind. She was often absent-minded."
He Ya was startled and had another headache.
There was no need to guess what was going on in He Mu's mind, except that Zhong Pingtao was under house arrest. This matter was a family scandal, and she couldn't tell her brother about it. She announced to the outside world that something went wrong during Zhong Pingtao's practice and that he had to retreat for self-cultivation. Therefore, it was not easy to reconcile at this time.
Stanley Ho explains.
Sure enough, Ho Hong went on to say, "I saw that he looked gloomy, and he must be worried about his father. How is my brother-in-law's internal injuries?"
He Ya said in an understatement that he was greedy for merit and rushed forward, and suffered backlash. Just take care of him slowly. He is a kid who has never seen the big world, and he seems to be frightened by the smallest things. Don't pay attention to it. "
Seeing what she said, although He Hong had doubts, he couldn't ask any more questions. The eldest sister did not have a daughter, so the position between him and A Yan was very delicate. It was not advisable to delve too deeply into these family affairs.
After being reminded by He Hong, He Ya felt the need to pay attention. In the evening, she came to He Mu's residence. The lights in the courtyard were bright, and He Mu was reading at night with a notebook. She was surprised when she saw her mother coming.
Mother?"
He Ya felt happy in her heart, and the gentle scolding came again, and the candlelight flickered, which is bad for the eyes. Could it be that you have forgotten it? "
He Mu put down his book and realized that the child couldn't sleep, so he just turned over it a little."
"Can't you sleep?" He Ya looked at his complexion, and it was indeed not good. She sighed and said that if he couldn't sleep, go to the courtyard and do a few punches. When you are tired, it will be easier to fall asleep."
He Mu lowered his eyes and listened obediently. The mother and son talked for a while. The atmosphere was very peaceful. He hesitated and said mother, father..."
"Him?" He Ya didn't even raise her eyebrows, not allowing him to finish before asking.
He Mu was immediately discouraged and fell silent.
He Ya looked at her unhappy expression and remembered He Hong's words during the day. After thinking for a moment, she said to Mu'er. There is trouble at the southern border. Your aunt wants to lead the troops. Your second uncle will take over the affairs of Xidi. You can pass.
He's already thirteen, so he's not too young. Why don't you go see the world with your second uncle this time?" Give him something to do, and it will save him the trouble of thinking all day long.
"Going to Judi?" After all, he was a young man, and He Mu was somewhat moved. His face suddenly showed an eagerness to try.
"Yes." He Ya smiled slightly, "When you are older, you should go out for a walk and become familiar with some things. Remember, listen more, watch more and talk less outside. Watch carefully what your second uncle is doing. Follow.
Study carefully."
"Yes." He Mu promised excitedly, and the previous depression was gone.
"Going to Xidi?" Zhong Pingtao looked a little strange after hearing the report.
"Yes." He Mu was even more excited than last night. He was still a little bit reluctant to let go of his mother. He just wanted to say it to his father. I heard that Xidi is very different from ours. It is cold in winter, and both men and women
Wear a mink fur hat. The medicinal materials from Izumo Mountain can be bought on the street, and the price is 30% cheaper than in our shop..."
Zhong Pingtao listened silently. After he finished speaking, he asked who are you going with? "
"It's the second uncle." He Mu said, "The Rong people from the south are leading troops to invade, and my aunt is going to retreat. The affairs of Xidi will be taken over by the second uncle."
Zhong Pingtao smiled happily. This is a good thing. It seems that your mother is going to cultivate you. But you will have to leave after the New Year. During the New Year this year, your mother will be the only one in the house, so she will inevitably be lonely. You need to write more letters.
good."
He Mu was stunned, and then he thought that it was approaching the twelfth lunar month and the New Year was coming. His aunt was not here, his second uncle was not here, and he was not here either. The second aunt and several cousins were separated by one floor, and the house was very deserted.
"But dad, you are at home." He forced a smile, "Mother won't be angry for that long."
Zhong Pingtao smiled lonely, noncommittal." The loneliness between his brows could not be covered.
He Mu's smile dimmed, and he pursed his lips, with a persuasive determination that he would definitely not do it."
A few days later, he packed his bags and prepared to leave. Before leaving, He Ya gave many instructions to pay attention to, focusing on the different advantages of Feng Danyu and Feng Danxun...Here, each of them has his supporters. Please pay attention carefully.
Let’s go and see who supports the big one and who supports the small one. And for this reason. Furthermore, Qidi Sulei came to interfere. Did the Su family play a role in this matter? Old City Master Feng
Does his death have anything to do with the Su family? Please read these carefully and think about them. Tell me."
"Yes." He Mu listened carefully and said to his mother, "I think the child can't make it in time for the New Year. Mother must pay attention to her health at home and don't work too hard."
He Ya smiled gently. "
He Mu paused, and then said that my aunt is not here, my second uncle and I are not here either. It would be too deserted for my mother to celebrate the New Year in the mansion alone. The same goes for my father in the courtyard. Mother... you, you..." He blushed,
Under He Ya's gaze, she spoke softer and quieter, almost inaudible... At least, let's have a New Year's Eve dinner together."
He Ya was silent for a long time and sighed, "Don't worry about it. Go quickly."
He Mu got on his horse with concern, caught up with the large team, and left Zhicheng.
In the small courtyard, Zhong Pingtao is counting the days, telling Yin Ruxing that the New Year will be in one month."
Yin Ruxing celebrates the New Year inexplicably?" Do people under house arrest still need to prepare New Year's goods?
Zhong Pingtao looked at her and asked, "Don't you like celebrating the New Year?"
"Isn't that what the New Year is all about?" Yin Ruxing looked indifferent. Modern people's concept of the New Year has become very indifferent. The New Year was very lively in the Su Mansion, but it was also the excitement of others and had nothing to do with her. Seeing Zhong Pingtao's face
Surprised, she hurriedly added that it would be boring to celebrate the New Year without her relatives around."
"Relatives?" Zhong Pingtao looked at her meaningfully, "Aren't all your relatives dead?"
Yin Ruxing suddenly choked up. Just bite the bullet and say it. Don't always expose people's wounds."
Zhong Pingtao sat down slowly, looked her over a few times, and then changed the topic of the Chinese New Year in a calm and orderly manner. Eat well and wear well. You must always have new clothes."
Yin Ruxing despised him. Even though he was imprisoned, he still wanted to enjoy new clothes and delicious food. He was dreaming.
"You seem very disapproving?" Zhong Pingtao said suddenly.
Yin Ruxing lowered her head and slandered nonsense, hiding the disdain on her face. If she had He Ya's status and ability, Zhong Pingtao would not even be able to live under house arrest. He would be castrated directly, and it would be over.
Seeing that she never replied, Zhong Pingtao wasn't angry either. You were very arrogant as you were looking after your own business. But it doesn't matter, there is no one else here. But if you go out, you behave like this? Aren't you afraid of losing your life? "
Yin Ruxing raised his head and looked at him suspiciously. Can he still go out?"
"?You want to be locked up here for the rest of your life?" Zhong Pingtao raised his eyebrows.
"Who wants to be imprisoned for a lifetime?" Yin Ruxing retorted, and looked at him again, hesitatingly saying, "But what you did was a big crime..."
"No, I can't go out?" Zhong Pingtao stared into her eyes with stern eyes. Yin Ruxing was a little overwhelmed by the sight, and turned his head to avoid it. He said, of course I can go out. But the day I go out will be your stable day.
At the end of the day, let me think about it, a Qi man with a problem in his life experience, who hides many secrets but refuses to tell them, will end up in the palace of the Lord of Zhi City."
Yin Ruxing's expression suddenly changed, he turned his head and you want to say something?"
Zhong Pingtao laughed, and I was thinking, should I give up my merits? You said, if I catch a spy from Qidi, can I meet the city lord? We are husband and wife, as long as we meet, I will have a hundred
There is a way to restore old love, do you believe it?"
"Do you have evidence that I am a spy?" Yin Ruxing was very calm.
Zhong Pingtao sneered, you are a silly girl. Doubts are evidence. As for your origin and purpose, that is the task of the prison manager. "
