Chapter 85

Xu Xiaofu cleaned his face, rinsed his mouth with salt water, and then asked: "When did the general go? Did you have something to eat?"

While brushing Xu Xiaofu's hair, Shan Cha said: "General Yinshi has gone out, he hasn't eaten yet, he said he will be back in the evening, he told you not to worry and have a good rest."

Xu Xiaofu nodded, and after freshening up, he took the three children to Bai's residence.These days, he has been saying hello to Bai Shi, Bai Shi's temperament is much better than when he was in the capital, he will not embarrass her anymore, and sometimes he will say a few words to Xu Xiaofu.Most of the time, when Xu Xiaofu went out, she would also help take care of the three children, but naturally she would not have the same enthusiasm for Xie Qi and Xie Lin for He Hua, but she would not embarrass He Hua either.Xu Xiaofu already felt very good in his heart, after all, she was already very grateful for Bai's ability to do this.

When they walked into the yard, they happened to run into Meng Shi who also came to pay his respects with Xie Rui in his arms. Seeing Xu Xiaofu, Meng Shi smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you are here too."

Xu Xiaofu smiled and nodded, the two walked in, she stretched out her hand to tease Xie Rui for a while, and then the two women entered the yard together.Bai seemed to have just woken up, and was sitting on the soft couch, letting the servant girl pinch her legs, looking at the two and the children, and finally set her eyes on the three children, with a hint of a smile in her eyes, and pinched her legs The maid said: "Okay, let's serve breakfast." Then she looked at the two daughters-in-law and said: "Sit down and eat together."

Xu Xiaofu responded to Meng Shi, Xu Xiaofu hugged Xie Lin, He Hua and Xie Qi could sit by themselves, Xie Rui also sat down next to his mother.The maid has already put breakfast on the table, sweet potato porridge cooked with sweet potatoes and polished rice, cold potato shreds and chicken shreds, and a few small pickles, which are much worse than what they ate in the capital, but what Bai ate Very fragrant, sweet potato porridge is enough to drink a bowl.The children also ate very happily and were not picky eaters.After everyone finished eating, the maid took the table down, and Bai Shi asked Xu Xiaofu again, "Did the general go to the barracks early in the morning?"

Xu Xiaofu nodded, "Yinshi went out."

Bai Shi rushed to the maid behind him and said, "Let the kitchen simmer the mutton, the general can eat it when he comes back at night." The maid responded and retreated.

Bai chatted with the two daughters-in-law for a while, and then asked Xu Xiaofu: "Are you going out later?"

Xu Xiaofu nodded, Bai Shi said: "Then put the three children here, you go out and get busy. Huixiu also put Rui'er here, I will send someone to take you there at noon."

The two daughters-in-law naturally nodded in agreement, and then they backed out. When the two reached a courtyard, Mrs. Meng looked at Xu Xiaofu, hesitated to speak, and said after a while: "Sister-in-law, there is a saying that brothers and sisters don't know Say it right or wrong."

Xu Xiaofu said: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly."

Meng said: "Sister-in-law, is it not good for Liniang to live in the mansion? This morning I heard from my maid that she saw Liniang stopping General Xie to say something early in the morning. The maid said that Liniang was dressed She is beautiful and beautiful, and she seems to be begging for something... Sister-in-law, keeping such a woman in the mansion is still not an option, why don't you tell the general and give her a resettlement fee, so she can be sent away."

Xu Xiaofu said: "The maid can see how the general reacts?"

Meng Shi said: "The maid said that the general had no expression on his face, and left after saying something at the end." Meng also believed that the general would not have any thoughts about Liniang, but she couldn't help but someone wanted to spread some rumors. When something really spreads out, I'm afraid it won't end well.

Xu Xiaofu nodded, and said with a smile: "Thank you for reminding me, brother and sister, I will make a plan." In fact, Xu Xiaofu already had this idea yesterday, these days the general will not return home when he is in the barracks, and it is okay for her to live there. It's nothing, now the general will often go back to the mansion, and Liniang's performance yesterday was too obvious, it's one thing for the general to ignore her, but always showing her love for the general in front of her always makes her very happy It's better to get rid of it.But she is the widow of the general's lieutenant, so she needs to be arranged properly.

Meng Shi smiled and said, "That's good."

After Xu Xiaofu bid farewell to Mrs. Meng, he planned to go to the hut where the wounded were resettled. As soon as he brought camellias to the gate, he ran into Liniang who was waiting there. I'm going out too, so I'm waiting here. Madame is going to see the wounded soldiers, right? I'll go with me too, so I can help a bit."

Xu Xiaofu didn't refuse, and the three of them went to the hut together. The war had stopped, and there were no wounded being sent over, so everyone went to help change the medicine and clean up.Almost all the injured returned to the barracks, and the rest were some seriously injured soldiers who had no family in the frontier.

This time, I was still busy until Shen Shi was planning to go back, but when I was about to leave, I saw a tall man in black armor walking towards me in the distance, Xu Xiaofu was startled, and greeted him with a smile, "General, you are here .”

It was Xie Duanyu who came, Xie Duanyu nodded at her, his originally calm eyes eased a little, he walked up to Xu Xiaofu and said: "I'm here to see the wounded soldiers, how are their injuries?"

Xu Xiaofu frowned, and said in a sad tone, "Most of them have injured their hands and legs. Although they hired a doctor to reconnect the bones, they may feel uncomfortable in their hands and feet after they recover. I'm afraid they will never be able to march again. There's a war."

Xie Duanyu frowned and said nothing, after a while he entered the thatched shed, Xu Xiaofu heard the excited voice of the soldiers inside, "Why is General Xie here?"

"Don't worry, General, we're fine."

She heard Xie Duanyu's voice comforting everyone again, it seemed a little low, Xie Duanyu didn't say much, just said: "Everyone rest at ease and recuperate, you don't need to worry about things in the future, everything is up to me." He chatted with these soldiers for a long time before leaving After going out, looking at the beautiful woman standing in the setting sun, she said, "Madam, let's go back."

Xu Xiaofu always knew how sad Liniang next to him was looking at Xie Duanyu, so she just nodded and followed back to the house, and she could faintly hear Aunt Zhang and the others talking behind her, "Thank you, General, General and The madam's feelings are really good, the general is also a lucky one, the madam is so capable and kind-hearted..."

Hearing this, Liniang smiled, but the palm beside her slowly clenched into a fist, and her nails sank deeply into the palm.She was not reconciled in her heart, in terms of appearance, she was not inferior to the so-called general's wife, she was just as gentle, considerate, and able to take care of these wounded in the same way.But when she wanted to say a few words to the general in the morning, the general frowned and asked who she was. At that moment, she really felt that her heart was cut into pieces.After learning her identity, he just said something urgent and had no time to chat, so he flung his sleeves and left.

Looking at the tall man with a straight back in front of her, Liniang's heart became more and more unsteady...

Back in Xie Fu, Xu Xiaofu asked the kitchen to send a bowl of mutton soup that had been stewed for a long time to Xie Duanyu, "General, let's have some mutton soup first, this soup has been simmered early in the morning, it tastes pretty good, you Try it."

Xie Duanyu smiled at her, took three sips of the mutton soup and drank it clean, Xu Xiaofu took the empty bowl and handed it to Shancha, then said to Xie Duanyu: "General, Liniang is the widow of Vice Captain Wu. The house is also inconvenient, I plan to ask someone to find a good place for her in the city, so that those local ruffians can't harass her, and then give her some settling money and let her move out?"

Xie Duanyu held her hand, "It's up to you."

Xu Xiaofu smiled brightly at her, "Thank you, General."

Xie Duanyu looked at her with burning eyes, stretched out his hand to pull her into his arms, and let her sit on his side. Xu Xiaofu seemed a little unaccustomed to it, twisted a little bit, and finally leaned quietly on his chest superior.He stretched out his hand to stroke her smooth and shiny black hair, feeling an indescribable tranquility in his heart.The two of them didn't speak for a long time, and after a while, he whispered softly in her ear: "Xiaofu, thank you." Thank you for marrying her, thank you for raising children for him, thank you for not being afraid It is difficult to protect everyone to come here, thank you for everything he has done for himself.

Xu Xiaofu leaned in his arms, did not speak, but raised the corners of his lips, with a happy smile on his face.

Since Xie Duanyu also agreed to let Liniang move out, Xu Xiaofu sent someone to investigate around. There were indeed local ruffians who harassed Liniang at that time, mainly because Liniang lived in a remote location at that time.Xu Xiaofu first sent someone to teach those people a lesson, and then asked someone to find a suitable place to live in the city. If you want a place with many neighbors, it's best if the neighbor next to you is kind and righteous.

After searching for a few days, I found a suitable one. There are quite a lot of neighbors around, and Xu Xiaofu also knows the neighbors. It is Aunt Zhang who I met when I was helping wounded soldiers. They are also from the military camp, and both husband and wife are good.

It looks like a small farmyard, with a few houses and a small courtyard. The house price is not expensive, as long as 100 taels of silver is almost the same.

After finding a place to live, Xu Xiaofu planned to tell Liniang about it, and let her move out by giving her some resettlement fees. She had some money on her back. She was a woman who was doing some small business or planting some fields for her own food. Life in the frontier is still pretty good.

In Liniang's room, she put a bead flower in her temples, and looked at the bronze mirror again, then turned to look at the little maid next to her and said, "Have you found out? Madame was really divorced before." The woman who married the general later?"

The little servant girl said: "I found out. Everyone in the capital knows that the general's wife had divorced before. Later, Master Wen Li gave orders that only the general's wife can relieve the general's wife's fate. Later, the general's wife brought Miss Hehua Married to the General."

Liniang nodded, and smiled softly: "Indeed, Miss Hehua is already ten years old, and the general was not married when he was in the frontier, so it is impossible for Hehua to be the general's child... Heh, really I thought I was a lady from a great family, but I was just a woman like me."
