Marrying blindly and by mistake, the general’s misplaced wife

Chapter 179 I’m back to bring in reinforcements.
Chu Nanning was not surprised at all.

Although the old lady lived here as a refuge and had nothing to do with Chu Baikui, the so-called mother-son relationship existed in name only, and she never cared about the affairs of the Anyuan Hou Mansion.

But she could get any information if she asked.

She nodded: "Yes!"

The old lady finally asked: "Is what happened in the courtyard of Duke Dingguo's mansion true?"

Chu Nanning nodded again: "It's true!"

The old lady's eyes suddenly filled with anger: "It's really stupid. She came to bite you like a crazy dog, but she never thought that if something happened to you, her reputation would also be damaged. Fortunately, you are a lucky person, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous!"

Chu Nanning smiled. She really didn't do anything. She could only say that evil will be punished.

Of course, even if she was actually in the house at the time, she wouldn't have been tricked.

"What did Zhao Yuan, that poisonous woman, teach her daughter? For a lady of a great family, there is no family in her heart, only herself. The Anyuan Hou Mansion is really doomed!"

Chu Nanning stroked her back gently and said carelessly: "Grandma, it's not worth it to be so angry with such a person. Chu Baikui is going against the grain. If he dies, he will die. Grandma has nothing to do with him! He and I have nothing to do with each other." It doesn’t matter. You see, he can’t implicate us, so why should we be angry because of their stupidity and viciousness?”

The old lady patted her hand, trying to get her mind out of this mess.

She said: "Even if Zhao Yuan is promoted as a step-mother, she has always been a concubine. I don't know who she is plotting against this time. Nan Ning, please stay away. Don't be disgusted by those two people!"

"Grandma, don't worry. Why don't I go out for a walk with grandma on that day!" Chu Nanning smiled.

The old lady's eyes lit up, "Okay, where are you going?"

"Let's go to Nanshan Temple. It's not far away. You can also go and relax!"

"Okay, that's it, let's just stay there for a few days and eat vegetarian food for a few days to clear our mind!"

The grandfather and grandson chatted over pastries and decided on the itinerary for three days.

Chu Baikui and Zhao Yuan were also very happy. They were concentrating on preparing for the chrysanthemum appreciation feast.

They had already planned where to lure Xia Chixiao or You He to make love with Chu Yunzhao. On the left side of the garden in the mansion, there was a courtyard shaded by flowers and trees. It was remote and quiet. come out.

As for how to get people to take the bait, of course you have to use something.

This is not a problem for Zhao Yuan, she has her own channels and ways.

All the posts were posted in one morning.

This kind of speed is almost unique in the history of banquets organized by the Anyuan Marquis Mansion.

At Liyanghou Mansion, the housekeeper sent the post to Qingpu Courtyard.

Xia Chixiao heard that it was a post from the Anyuan Hou Mansion, so he took it, opened it, and raised the corners of his lips slightly.

His grandmother's words yesterday caused him to experience great ups and downs in his mood.

Even if he thought about these three words in the letter to let his wife go, he felt his heart tremble and he instinctively refused.

But he also knew that his grandmother had a point.

Why did he give it when he wanted, but disappeared for more than three years if he didn't want to, leaving a young woman to endure so much suffering alone?Now that the suffering is over, he wants to easily bring people to his side with a piece of marriage paper and a light sentence of compensation?
If Chu Nanning didn't want to, his behavior would be shameless.

Therefore, he had to make Chu Nanning willing!

Just when I was looking for a reason to meet Chu Nanning, this post came to me.

Really dozed off someone sent a pillow.

He said: "I know! I will go!"

The butler cupped his hands and said, "Yes!" He glanced up unconsciously.

Only the eldest son received it, and neither the second nor the third son received it.

If the second and third young masters find out, they will definitely be angry again.

This Anyuan Hou Mansion doesn’t even understand any etiquette!
Similarly, Youfu also received it.

You He looked at the post and frowned.

He just returned to Beijing yesterday to report on his work, and today this post was delivered to him. The Anyuan Hou Mansion is really well-informed.

The You family and the Anyuan Hou Mansion have no friendship at all.

He said to the butler who brought the post in: "It's an ordinary party, there's no need to go, right?"

This butler has been in the capital, taking care of all relations in the capital. He held up his hands and said: "Young Master, it really doesn't matter whether you go to the Anyuan Hou Mansion or not, but this time they are doing it for the eldest lady of their house. Or is it necessary to go there?”

You He raised his eyes.

The steward then said based on his experience: "Anyuanhou Mansion is a declining house. The previous generation of Anyuanhou did not make any achievements. He was only a fourth-rank official until his death. This generation of Anyuanhou is even more mediocre in ability. Although now He is a fifth-rank official, but his abilities are average, and his son's grades in the academy are not outstanding. But this Miss Chu has a good uncle."

"Taifu Ye?"

"Yes, I heard that Mrs. Ye Taifu is very fond of this niece. Taifu Ye dotes on his wife as much as she wants. He also protects his wife if she likes her. So what is the direction of Anyuan Hou now? Everyone is waiting and watching. Because of Taifu Ye’s relationship, everyone will give him a thumbs up. We don’t have to get too close, but we can’t offend him either.”

You He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'm just going through the motions."

The butler carefully watched his face and said: "Young master, you will be taking up a post in the capital this time, and your marriage should be finalized. The master asked me to select some suitable ladies, and I will send the information to you in a moment. Can you take a look at my study room?"

Wan He frowned and waved his hand.

The butler went out and shook his head slightly.

The young master was originally a second-class boy, and he was successful as a young man, so he decided to get married. However, in the year when he was about to get married, the old man passed away, and the young master had to observe filial piety. After just one year of keeping filial piety, the unmarried young lady actually eloped with someone. .

The young master asked himself to be released. Four years later, he is now 23 years old, his marriage has not been settled, and no one even dares to mention it in front of him.The master was appointed as the chief envoy of Yongzhou, and his wife followed him. Since she was not in the capital, she was worried about their marriage but could not do anything.

He has almost watched the young master grow up, and of course he hopes that his marriage can be settled as soon as possible.

But the young master didn't want to, and he didn't dare to persuade him.

I hope that this time the young master goes to some kind of chrysanthemum viewing party, he will meet his destiny.

This is also the reason why he will persuade the young master to go if he doesn't want to go.

The purpose of holding such a banquet in Beijing was tacitly understood by everyone. The people invited were basically unmarried young men and women, and it was time for the young master to go out.

The eldest lady of the Chu family was brought in from the countryside. She doesn’t have many friends in Beijing, so she wants to take advantage of this banquet to get to know a few more. His young master has also just returned from overseas, and he doesn’t know many people. It’s best to go to more gatherings like this. A few times are good too.

Has he also considered and suggested that the young master hold more banquets at his own house?

Xia Chixiao left the city.

Although the emperor gave him three days of leave, he still wanted to visit Lengtai Camp.He left Pei Shi'an in the Lengtai Camp, and he didn't know if Pei Shi'an had made any progress in the past few months.

With horse hooves flying, Xia Chixiao arrived at the outskirts of Lengtai Camp. When he met the patrolmen, they were all stunned.

When Xia Chixiao went to suppress bandits, he did not select soldiers, but allowed people to sign up freely. This matter was known to the entire military camp, and many people, just because of hesitation, had no chance when they went again.

Those who couldn't go were envious and could only continue their original lives, practicing every day and following the steps.They all thought that Xia Chixiao would be away for at least a year or two, but they didn't expect that he would be back in just half a year.

But, he was alone.

The patrolman looked behind him suspiciously.

I didn't hear that the bandit suppression was over, and I didn't hear that General Xia was coming back. Could it be that General Xia escaped?
How can a young master in the capital endure the hardship of sleeping in the open during the suppression of bandits?

I went to suppress bandits with great interest because I wanted to gain military merit, but I found that military merit was not that easy to earn.

Not only was it not easy to earn, it was also very hard, so did you become a deserter halfway through?
But it shouldn't be. When General Xia was in the military camp, he was resolute and strong in martial arts. Many brothers in the army obeyed him.

Seeing the patrolman's appraising eyes, Xia Chixiao showed his identity token.

Although the patrolmen had doubts in their hearts, they did not dare to stop him in the slightest and bowed and gave way.

Xia Chixiao pinched the horse's belly and continued to move forward.

You can see the school grounds of Lengtai Camp in the distance, and the soldiers are practicing in full swing.

Arriving in front of the camp, he dismounted and threw the reins to an oncoming guard.

The guard was also surprised by Xia Chixiao's appearance and asked tentatively: "Deputy Commander, do you want to report to the Commander?"

Xia Chixiao said: "No need, I will go by myself."

The guard thought again: Could it be that the bandits were in trouble and there were not enough troops, so General Xia came back to move troops?If this is the case, there can be no delay.

Xia Chixiao strode into the military camp.

There were people coming and going in the military camp, but it was also orderly, and the defenses used were designed by him.

When he first came to Lengtai Camp, he saw the defenses in the camp and felt that there were several loopholes in them, so he designed two more sets and gave them to President Yan Suan, and the two sets were used interchangeably in Lengtai Camp.

It won't be a problem to use it for a year or two.

He did not go to see the commander immediately, but first detoured to the school grounds.

The sight of the soldiers crawling around in the school grounds made people's blood boil.

However, Xia Chixiao was very calm. People who have experienced real sword and gun fights are used to all this.

He walked around the school grounds and didn't see Pei Shi'an.

It's training time, no one is here, where are they?
He frowned, and now he felt a little regretful. He should have brought Pei Shi'an there to suppress bandits in the north.

However, at that time, it was considered unsafe to suppress bandits. Pei Shian had just entered the military camp and had no training. He was afraid that he would be in danger, so he was left behind.

He bypassed the school grounds and went to see Yan Su'an. He also met some generals on the way and greeted them one by one. Without exception, they all looked at him with suspicion when he came back.

If it weren't for his position as deputy commander, most people would not dare to come and ask, fearing that someone would ask the question.

But Yan Su'an was not an ordinary person, so he asked directly, "Brother Xia, you have only been to the North for half a year, right? I heard that there are more than [-] bandits in the North."

Xia Chixiao smiled and nodded: "Yes!"

"I heard that the largest bandit den has nearly [-] people?"

"Yes!"

"You came back so soon. Did you lose the battle?"

Xia Chixiao: "..."

Yan Su'an looked at his face and showed no regrets about losing the battle, so he asked again: "Is it because the opponent's troops are coming back to move troops? Also, since there are so many bandits, how can 3000 people be enough?"

Xia Chixiao was suspicious. If he didn't stop him from talking, he didn't know what else would come out of his mouth.

He said: "The bandit trouble has been eliminated, return to Beijing and resume your duties!"

Yan Suan laughed.He had a rough appearance, and even the stubble on his chin seemed to be shaking when he smiled.

He patted Xia Chixiao on the shoulder and said, "Brother Xia, you can brag better than me. If you return to the capital to resume your duties, what about our three thousand brothers in Lengtai camp?"

"They are still behind, I will hurry up and return to Beijing first!"

Yan Su'an saw that his face was calm and his words were coherent. He didn't seem to be talking nonsense or trying to whitewash his own peace. He was speechless: "What you said is not true, is it? There are more than [-] bandit dens, six months, and back and forth on the road." It takes two months to get rid of them. Regardless of the size of the gangster den, more than seventy of them have to be eliminated in one month? Two or three have to be eliminated every day? Are you kidding me?"

Xia Chixiao smiled lightly and said: "There were only two months on the road. The army marched in a hurry, and it only took 22 days to reach the northern border. I worked hard on the return journey, and it only took ten days."

"Even if it takes one more month, it won't be possible, right?"

Xia Chixiao said lightly: "Divide your troops and attack them. Wherever the king's division passes, small bandit dens are frightened by the news, and many of them disband themselves. There are also some who are forced to become bandits, and many of them surrender voluntarily. Those who really need to attack , there are only dozens of them. And the ones that really become climate-friendly and time-consuming to attack are only a dozen or so."

Yan Su'an thought, five months, dozens of places, that's unbelievable.

The young man in front of me with outstanding appearance, dignified appearance, handsome and upright, is not simple!

He was in the military and knew the difficulties of suppressing bandits better. When he looked at Xia Chixiao, his eyes suddenly became much deeper.

I sat here with Yan Su'an for a while and talked about the suppression of bandits. Of course, it was impossible to tell everything. I picked some examples and it was very enjoyable for Yan Su'an.

Xia Chixiao said: "After the red-spotted poisonous dragon appeared last time, have we conducted investigations around the camp?"

Yan Su'an waved his hand: "We have already checked it out. It has been more than half a year, and there is nothing wrong!"

He felt that Xia Chixiao was good at everything. As a noble son of the capital, he had no airs and was very skilled. He could establish his authority when it was time to do things and act resolutely when it was time to do things. Although he had not been in the army for a long time, he Someone with real ability.

I didn’t see that the brothers in the army looked down on him at first, thinking he was just a noble pretty boy who came to mess around.Are everyone convinced now?
Xia Chixiao said: "Perhaps I am overthinking. Does the commander have any instructions? If not, I want to walk around!"

"I have an order. It's a routine exercise every day. You can watch it if you want."

After coming out of Yan Su'an's place, Xia Chixiao walked around the military camp.

People I met along the way stopped to salute from afar.

He walked further and further, and finally stopped outside the stable.

At this time, a voice came from the stable: "Can't stand it? I'm going to leave? I'm sure to leave! Don't miss it if you pass by!"

　Thank you to Yuluojiang North and South Piaoxue for the reward of 500 starting coins!Thank you!
