In the sixth year of Zhenguan, at the end of March and the beginning of April, news of Tuyuhun's rebellion came from the border. The consort Chai Shao was appointed as the front army and led his people to the direction of Liangzhou.
When the war was going on, Li Jing, who had been recuperating due to a foot disease, came to Fang's house overnight after hearing the news, hoping that Fang Xuanling would help speak a few words in front of the emperor so that the old man could lead the troops to the war.
Li Jing also got his wish and took the post of coach in the campaign against Tuyuhun.
Li Shimin was concerned about the embarrassing events that happened to the Hou family last year and the year before, and wanted to change Hou Junji's life, so he assigned Hou Junji to Li Jing as his deputy.
Because the troops of Lu Yi and Qin Huaiyu were transferred to the front line, and Li Chengqian's intention to follow them to the front line to supervise the army was rejected by both Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng, Fang Yiai planned to apply to be a doctor with the army.
Mrs. Fang did not want her two sons to go to the front line. In addition, Hou Luanpei was about to give birth and Yu Shinan had not yet recovered. Fang Yiai's plan could only be aborted.
Two days before the expedition, Qin Huaiyu and Lu Yi both had time to go home. Fang Yiai took Lu Yi to the study and talked about it for nearly a night. She knew that Fang Yiai cared about her and was afraid that she would be there.
There is someone on the battlefield who is such a mother-in-law, so Lu Yi accepted it calmly.
Before Lu Yilin returned to the camp, Fang Yiai handed him a bunch of bottles and jars, which contained various ointments, powders, and pills, both for internal and external use. They said they were prepared for Qin Huaiyu and Lu Yi
For two people, each person's portion was enough. Lu Yi thought that it was enough for about ten people. Considering Fang Yiai's intentions, plus taking precautions and being prepared, Lu Yi asked Fang Yiai to bring Fang's name with him.
.
With tears in Mrs. Fang's eyes, she took Lu Yi's hand and sent it to the door of her house. She still couldn't help but kept mumbling, asking Lu Yi to take good care of himself and don't forget to rush forward if something happens.
Also, remember to send letters home often so that your parents won’t worry. I specifically told you to take good care of Young Master Yi. If Young Master Yi has any shortcomings, you won’t be able to spare him when you come back!
Hearing what his mother said behind her was really unlucky, Fang Yiai couldn't help but interrupt.
Until Qin Huaiyu came to Fang Mansion with his entourage to meet Lu Yi, Mrs. Fang still held Lu Yi's hand and refused to let go. Fang Yiai had no doubt that if someone dared to say it in a joke, Lu Yi would not have to go to the battlefield.
Madam Fang immediately pulled Lu Yi to the house, and Fang Yiai didn't even think it was strange.
Fang Shen next to her saw that it was really getting late. She was afraid that it would delay Lu Yi and Qin Huaiyu's return to camp at this juncture, so she reminded her five or six times. Mrs. Fang gave Fang Shen a dissatisfied look.
Then, with tears in his eyes, he reluctantly let go of Lu Yi's hand, letting him turn over on Ru Mo's back, and kept talking until Ru Mo started.
Ru Mo's leg strength, physical strength and temperament were all suitable for the battlefield, so Fang Yiai passed it on to Lu Yi, hoping that Ru Mo's stability could bring Lu Yi back safely.
Mrs. Fang took her whole family and bid farewell to Lu Yi with tears in her eyes. It wasn't until Lu Yi's back on the horse could no longer be seen that Mrs. Fang wiped away her tears and returned to the house. Fang Yiai took Qingniang and Fang Yize
, Lan'er and Lian'er also interrupted and comforted Mrs. Fang for a long time, which made Mrs. Fang feel better.
It wasn't until the day of the expedition, when she went to Mingdemen to see off the troops, that Fang Yiai found out that Cen Wenwen had offered him the position of military supervisor at some point with the help of Li Tai!
Looking at Li Tai, who was riding an arrogant horse, Fang Yiai couldn't help but frown. She was a little worried about Lu Yi and Qin Huaiyu, and even more worried about Lu Yi. After all, Qin Huaiyu also had his father Qin Qiong behind him.
, Li Tai didn't dare to go too far with Qin Huaiyu. But Lu Yi was different. He was Fang Yiai's sworn brother. The feud between Fang Yiai and Li Tai was known to all Chang An!
It was useless for Fang Yiai to worry, after all, she couldn't follow him.
On the second day of the expedition, Hou Luanpei finally let go of the child he had carried in his belly for more than ten days to see the light of day.
It wasn't until night that Hou Luanpei gave birth to a slightly thin, healthy baby boy.
After looking at the child with tears in his eyes, Hou Luanpei entrusted the child to his mother. Then he told Fang Yiai that it was Yang Xu's last wish and that he wanted Fang Yiai to help name the child.
Seeing that her daughter would not rest if Fang Yiai did not agree, Mrs. Hou could only hold her child and look at Fang Yiai pleadingly.
Fang Yiai took the crumpled child from Mrs. Hou's arms, looked at the child's sleeping face with eyes closed, and thought about the conversation with Yang Xu. She remembered that Yang Xu said that it would be great if he could live an ordinary life.
He said that no matter whether the child is a boy or a girl, he hopes that the child will be safe and happy in the future. He does not want to be rich and powerful, but just be ordinary.
"What about the word "Fan" and the word "Ping An"? Let the children be ordinary and live a peaceful and happy life." Thinking about this, Fang Yiai looked at Hou Luanpei inquiringly.
"Yang Fan, Yang Pingan." Hou Luanpei murmured the child's name repeatedly, glanced at Fang Yiai gratefully, shook Mrs. Hou's hand, looked at the child reluctantly, and then closed her mouth with a smile.
His eyes were tired and he fell asleep.
The child was taken back to the Hou Mansion by Mrs. Hou to be raised. After giving birth to the child and looking at the name of the child, Hou Luanpei began to refuse to eat or drink water, and made it clear that he wanted to find Yang Xu.
Mrs. Hou cried, made trouble, and was authoritative. She even took the child to Hou Luanpei, just asking her to live for the sake of the child. Even if she stayed in prison for the rest of her life, at least there was still a child outside.
?
However, Hou Luanpei was determined to die and only said that the child had a mother and elder brother, so she was not worried.
Hou Luanpei, who was already weak after giving birth, never lasted more than seven days before he got his wish and set foot on the Underworld Road to catch up with Yang Xu.
After hearing the news of Hou Luanpei's death, Li Chengqian was depressed and silent for a whole day. He didn't know whether he was sad for Hou Luanpei or for himself.
The king of Wei, Li Tai, requested an order to go to the front line to supervise the army. The elders Li Chengqian and Li Ke had no reason to read idle at home. They both started to go to court.
Li Ke followed him to the morning meeting, and then went to the leisurely Ministry of Industry for an internship.
After Li Chengqian went to court, he had to follow Li Shimin to the Taiji Hall to learn how to handle political affairs.
Because Li Chengqian began to get involved in political affairs in the court, Fang Yiai's career as a student was basically over, although his title remained.
In addition to being summoned by the palace, Fang Yiai was kicked to Hongwen Hall by Fang Xuanling. The happiest people were Chang Sun Huan and Du He. Finally, they could chat with Fang Yiai often.
In view of the fact that most of Fang Yiai's classes at Hongwen Hall have been completed, and there is only a small part left, the study time does not need to be too tight, so Kong Yingda, Yu Shinan who is recovering from illness, and the newly married Shangguan Yi and others all
Remembering that Fang Yiai was lacking in the six arts and had no time for schoolwork, except for the days when Fang Yiai could go to the medical clinic, Fang Yiai was given time to play piano and chess in the rest of the time.
Professor Fang Yiai's chess skills were given to Yu Shinan who was recovering from illness. The reason was that because Fang Yiai was Yu Shinan's attending physician, if he handed over his chess skills to Yu Shinan, he could treat the doctor and learn chess at the same time, and also help Yu Shinan pass his time.
, don’t let him work too hard on the books.
Li Shimin heard what Chu Suiliang, who was working with him and had no feet on the ground, said, well, he thought it made sense, and asked Li Anyang to send a message to Fang Yiai, telling him not to slack off. What about Ino Ye?
Although Sanlang has been working hard at calligraphy and painting for the past two years, his chess skills are also good. If he knew that Fang Yi loved the stinky chess basket and started to compete in chess skills, the great Tang Dynasty could not afford to lose that person.
Fang Yiai was choked, so she could only muster up enough energy to study chess seriously with Yu Shinan. At the end of every day, she spent most of her time memorizing chess records.
Every time he saw his own chess game being criticized to pieces by Yu Shinan angrily, Fang Yiai regretted it very much. She thought to herself, why didn't she watch more Go games in her previous life? At least she could watch chess games.
, In this way, you can play chess in advance. Although I feel sorry for Mr. Niu Sengru, at least you can save yourself the hardship of learning Go.
As for the art of piano, Shangguan Yi, who had just graduated from the imperial examination, was very proud of himself. He enthusiastically took over the piano, and after finishing his work for the day, he took Fang Yiai home to study with him.
Whenever he taught Fang Yiai to play the piano, Shangguan Yi would always ask his newlywed wife to listen and ask her to point out the shortcomings in Shangguan Yi's own teaching.
Because Shangguan Yi's wife, Hu, the daughter of a fourth-rank official in the court, was also a master of the Yao Qin. Whether it was teaching or evaluating Qin skills, she was just above Shangguan Yi.
I once heard Shangguan Yi say that the Six Arts of a Gentleman, who was previously ordered to train Fang Yiai, were all good except for Lezhi, which was really bad. And my husband was complacent, extremely caring, and had some problems.
Shangguan's wife naturally wants to help her husband because she is so naive and persistent in her goal.
Every time she was pointed out by Shangguan Yi, Fang Yiai could still be shameless, break the rules, and even find excuses to escape. However, it was not only a little bit younger than her in mind, but her biological age was no more than four or five years older than her.
Fang Yiai felt like she had lost all her good looks in her entire life.
In order not to let her face be peeled off and make her unable to hold her head up, Fang Yiai could only use the same vigor as when she was studying medicine, take turns every day, and replace the chess and piano scores back and forth in her free time.
Even when he went to the medical clinic, after seeing a doctor, he would often ask the imperial doctor who was visiting at the same time for advice on chess skills. How could he practice piano skills at home? Although it was hard to hear, it also made Fang Yiai discover that Mrs. Fang had a skill.
Very good piano skills, not inferior to Shangguan Yi and his wife.
As a result, Mrs. Fang also had an extra job, which was to teach Fang Yiai how to play the piano every night. Watching her mother work hard to teach her middle brother to learn to play the piano, Qing Niang and Fang Yi listened to Fang Yiai's piano skills.
If you play a piece of music that is out of tune, you will pretend to shake your head and sigh.
Face, face, losing face will make people very uncomfortable, especially in front of his younger brother and sister. Fang Yiai was holding her breath and vowed to study hard. If she can't study in one year, she will study in two years. If she works hard, she doesn't believe she can't learn!
Later, Qing Niang brought Shu'er back from the palace and said, "Brother, it's okay. Shu'er will learn to play the piano and chess from now on. If anyone troubles Big Brother, Shu'er will go and compete with him then!"
Fang Yiai is so sweet!
However, if a man's face is reduced to asking a woman to help him regain it, he is still a little woman, and the man will feel even more shameless! For his own face, Fang Yiai put all his efforts into learning to play chess and piano.
