Chapter 49 Reunion
(Old book friends said, I still hope that the two shifts every day are at [-]:[-] am and [-]:[-] pm as before. Let’s start from today. In fact, I am now at [-]:[-] am and [-]:[-] pm, nothing more than a lot. Just cheat some clicks and recommendations, hehe!)
Today is a real family reunion.

Even during the New Year's Eve in the past few years, it is impossible to be as neat as it is now.

Both Xiao Yu and Xiao Han were extremely pleased.

Looking at Xiao Dingying's arrogance, Gao Qi is gentle and virtuous, Xiao Cheng is elegant and calm, Xiao Yan is lively and beautiful, that is the young grandson Xiaojing who is only in his early three years, and he looks very well-behaved today, sitting in Gao Qi's seat. Beside him, he held a chicken leg in his hand, nibbling it one by one, while looking sideways at the bearded guy who was sitting above his mother and who he called Daddy.

Compared with those big family members, although the Xiao family still seems to be a little thin, but now it is a booming trend, the family is prosperous, and it is only a matter of these years.

Needless to say, Xiao Ding was a frontier warrior whose name was remembered by the officials.

Xiao Cheng was highly regarded by the whole family. As long as he passed the jin shi exam next year, the Xiao family would be the home of jin shi, and a flagpole could be erected in front of the gate.

After taking this step, the Xiao family is both civil and military, and they can be considered to have a firm foothold.

Xiao Yu remembered the worried look in his father Xiao Ding's eyes when he was about to leave.

Father was afraid that he would not be able to support the Xiao family's door!

Over the years, Xiao Yu has been trembling and walking on thin ice. Although he has also relied on his father's Yu Ze back then, he himself is a hard worker after all. The Xiao family is no worse than when his father was the minister of the West Palace.

On the other hand, the Xiao Han family remembered the various rumors and rumors in the family when they married Xiao Yu. With the status of the Xinyang Han family, when they married Xiao Yu, they were indeed married.

But now, I have to say that my father is really smart.

At that time, the father-in-law was just a border general.And her husband, Xiao Yu, was just a little-known official.

I entered the Xiao family at the age of sixteen. Twenty-four years have passed since then. Suddenly, I became a grandmother.

Eunuch is an odd number, with one general, he has achieved the position of slaughter.

And his own Xiang Gong, who also worked hard to improve, has now become the Great Song Ji Xiang.

I was in Bianliang, and I was properly regarded as the eldest lady of a first-class family.

And those clansmen who laughed at him at the beginning are still struggling now!It is the lineage of the Changfang direct line, and the highest official is only a state prefect, and it is incomparable with his own.

Looking back at the next generation, the eldest son followed the path of the father-in-law, the daughter-in-law was the daughter of the Gao family of the Xungui family, the second son was successful in reading, at least [-]-[-]% sure that he could win the jinshi, and the youngest daughter is also in the capital. A well-known talented woman has now appointed the son of Xianggong's family.

The Xiao family can be considered prosperous.

If you are happy in your heart, you will naturally have to accompany it with wine.

The three of Xiao Yu and his son drank the spirits from the Tianxiang Pavilion, while the female relatives drank the Meishou from the Fengle Pavilion. This wine was mellow but not strong, and had a long fragrance, which was suitable for women to drink.

Headed by Xiao Ding, sons, daughters and daughters-in-law naturally all want to toast to the elders.Even the little Xiao Jing followed suit. Holding the fruit pulp in the cup, he wished his grandfather and grandmother good health and longevity in a milky voice. He only made Xiao Yu and his wife squinted with joy. .

At this moment, only the countless troubles, sorrows and intrigues of the weekdays were left behind, and only peace and tranquility remained in my heart.

The banquet was over, Xiao Yu, who had been drinking a little, brought his two sons to the small study to talk, while Xiao Han brought his daughter, daughter-in-law and grandson to the back.

Seeing the wobbly appearance of the old man, Xiao Ding hurriedly stepped forward to support him, but Xiao Cheng followed behind with a smile. On weekdays, the old man was cautious and rarely drank so much alcohol.The elder brother rarely goes home, it is the time to let the elder brother perform his filial piety.

"Second brother, today's wine has never been drunk before. It's so strong that I've seen it in my life! I don't know which one came from the seventy-two main stores?" , but also red.

"This is not produced by seventy-two genuine stores." Xiao Cheng smiled and said, "This wine comes from Tianxiang Pavilion, it is a family brew, it has never been sold out, but Tianxiang Pavilion and I met by chance. , At this time, people are in some difficulties, I reached out to help and formed a good relationship, so I can also get this wine."

"Second brother has always been warm-hearted, and good intentions have their own rewards." Xiao Ding said with a smile: "I don't know if the second brother can get some more, the more the better, this stuff, in the north, is an excellent thing."

Xiao Cheng smiled. In fact, there are wines that are stronger than today's, and they have more magical effects. They can indeed be of great use in the eldest brother's army, but this matter will be discussed later. , Anyway, for a moment or three, the eldest brother is afraid that he will not leave.

"Is the eldest brother trying to get some for the brothers and sisters in the army? There are thousands of people, so it is impossible to get them. Tianxiang Pavilion does not have a brewing license, so the output is very limited, but there is no problem for the eldest brother to drink."

"Is that so?" Xiao Ding was slightly disappointed. "Then the wine I drink will depend on you, second brother."

"Wrap it on me!" Xiao Cheng took it all in.But in my heart, I really told you the other uses of this wine, I'm afraid you will be reluctant to drink it.

Entering the small study, the old housekeeper Xu Wuyan had prepared things such as sobering soup, hot face towel, etc., to sober up the three male masters at home.

In the past, even Xiao Cheng was not allowed to enter this study, and Xu Wuyan did the usual care.

After drinking the sobering soup and compressing it with a hot face towel for a while, Xiao Yu finally recovered.

"I heard that Chen Jingsheng sent you to the door today?" Xiao Yu asked.

Xiao Ding couldn't help but stunned, this was just something that happened in the afternoon, and his father already knew about it.

"In this capital, the tongue is really fast, even faster than our scouts in the north!" Xiao Ding shook his head and laughed.

"How can this capital be comparable to borders! Today, only a certain range of people know about it, and tomorrow, I'm afraid it will spread a lot." Xiao Yu said: "You are nothing but a ruler, in this Bianliang, sesame seeds A small official. Chen Jingsheng, what kind of person, what kind of treatment does he personally send you to the door, hehe, even as a father, I didn’t expect this kind of treatment before, and now it’s almost the same.”

"Chen Xianggong is not single-mindedly anti-war. Maybe we all misunderstood him before." Xiao Ding suddenly said: "I have a long talk with Chen Xianggong today. I think it is still possible for us to win his support. "

Xiao Yu chuckled: "Dinger, you are still a little younger. Whether the stereotype is the main battle or the peace, it just changes according to the needs of his own interests. You must not hold too much for such a person. Great hope."

"As long as he is not a firm anti-war faction, we can fight for it!" Xiao Ding insisted.

"What you said is not wrong." Xiao Yu said lightly, "Actually, which of the two houses is the steadfast main war faction and the main peace faction, they are all just linked to their own interests and hold positions. At their status, even the ownership of the throne will not affect them too much."

Xiao Ding was silent.

"You can see that His Royal Highness King Jing and His Highness King Chu are pinpointing Maimang, but who would blatantly try to win over the rulers of the two houses?" Xiao Yu continued, "Because they know that it is useless even to win over."

"Is it possible that among these two palaces, there is no one who really cares about the world and wants to expel the Tartars and rule the world?" Xiao Ding asked in disbelief, "But your lord, you are a strategist. Don't you still think about defeating the Liao people and recovering Youyan?"

"Our Xiao family is different from them." Xiao Yu sighed and looked at the eldest son, who was sitting upright and looked a little angry. At this moment, his mind was the same as the old rules, and suddenly flashed past when his father was young. shadow. "Jiro, tell me what you think!"

"What my father said is basically not bad!" Xiao Cheng explained to Xiao Ding in a low voice: "The two governments basically don't need too many positions. If you really want them to support the Northern Expedition wholeheartedly, there is only one way to create a general trend. , let the general situation force them to do so. If the general situation is with me, they will fully support the Northern Expedition, but if the general situation is not with me, then they will become appeasement masters and one faction."

"The general trend?" Xiao Ding was speechless.

Now, apart from the northern land, how could people in other parts of the Song Dynasty ever hope for a large-scale war?
The days of peace have been long, and no one wants any turbulence to arise again.

"I have to do something?" Xiao Ding asked.

"That's why I fully support His Royal Highness King Jing's position." Xiao Yu said, "When King Jing takes office, he may be able to change his current state from top to bottom."

"This is also a kind of general trend, so, is there anything else?" Xiao Ding asked.

"Of course there is!" Xiao Cheng interfaced.

"I also ask my second brother to explain my doubts!" ​​Xiao Ding said happily.

Xiao Cheng glanced at his father and saw that he was also listening intently. He took a deep breath and began to tell some of his thoughts.

The so-called general trend can be not only one's own side, but also the enemy's, and the general trend can be the result of the superposition of both sides.In the end, the two sides had to go step by step in the direction of the war.

None of the real powers above the Great Song Dynasty are fools. If they really want to get to this point, no matter what they think, they have to prepare for a full-scale war. Once this step is taken, they want to pull it back. , but not so easy.

Listening to Xiao Cheng's eloquent talk, Xiao Ding's eyes were filled with surprise and admiration. Although the two brothers often corresponded, it was the first time that they had discussed the country with the second brother so seriously. The first time.

When I went to Northern Xinjiang, my younger brother was still in his early [-]s. In the blink of an eye, he had already grown up, and his political cognition was obviously not comparable to someone who had been immersed in the military for a long time.

The sound of dong dong came, Xiao Yu was very enthusiastic, and when someone interrupted, he immediately became impatient.

"Who? What?"

"Master, the eldest lady asked me to invite you back, saying that there is something to discuss!" But Wan'er's voice came from outside.

"Go back and tell Madam, it will take a while!" Xiao Yu said.

Outside, Wan'er was unyielding: "The eldest lady said, Dalang has worked hard today, it's time to rest, sir, you should be more sympathetic to your children and grandchildren."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu's face turned a little red, and Xiao Cheng also understood in an instant.

If I don't enlarge my brother and go back, I'm afraid that my sister-in-law will show her face tomorrow.
