Chapter 27

The 18th year of Taishi was an eventful year.In the first month, Jiaozhi Cheng announced that the political envoys Sizujiang, Yunmei, Wanjie, Pulai, Duobang and other places had civil turmoil one after another. They all commanded the envoy Liu Wuyong to lead the army to fight. He failed repeatedly and was expelled from Annan. Guangxi.Chen Tong, the chief envoy and inspector, died in the line of duty.

In March, the emperor ordered his generals to ascend to the palace, and appointed Zhu Long, the Duke of Cheng, as the Marshal of Conquering Yi, Fan Chuan, Hou Zhongding, as the Deputy Marshal, Chengdong, Hou of Xincheng, as the General of the Left, and Mu Yuan, the Marquis of Xiping, as the General of the Right. Cochin.

At the end of June, Zhu Long, Duke of the Kingdom of Zheng, who was young, vigorous and popular, died of illness in Longzhou, Guangxi.Zhu Long was only forty years old, and he had always been vigorous and active. Although he was ranked as a prince, he was humble and polite, and never boasted of his wealth.He died of illness suddenly, and there was a burst of mourning in the army.

The vanguard of the expeditionary army has entered the territory of Annan, and it is like a string on an arrow, so it has to be launched.The deputy marshal Zhongding Hou Fanchuan, flew a chapter to report to the emperor, and led the army southward.On July [-], the emperor ordered Zhongding Hou Fanchuan to be the commander-in-chief of conquering Yi, replacing Zhu Long in charge of the entire army.

Zhongding Hou Fanchuan is also a good general, leading the army southward, the momentum is like a broken bamboo.The battle went so smoothly that Fan Chuan underestimated the enemy, "Fanbang and the southern barbarians are vulnerable!" As a result, in the battle of Juejiang, the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty were defeated miserably. Zhongding Hou Fanchuan and Xiping Hou Mu Yuan died in battle.The situation in Annan became more and more chaotic.

The news of the defeat spread to the capital. After being shocked, the emperor ordered people to go to Huzhou to pass the decree. "Marshal Zhang, the army is dangerous and the war is fierce, there is no delay, please leave immediately!" Jin Yucheng, an official from the Ministry of Rites who came to pass the decree, was a young man who had entered the official career, and urged passionately.

Zhang Yu scratched his head.If I were to stand face to face with the emperor, I would really like to have a discussion with him: Can we not fight this battle?It would be nice for An Ansheng to sit at home and accompany his lovely wife and son, why would he fight after traveling such a long distance.

Shen Mai decided to go together, "You go to fight, Dad can't stay at home." Tell me to leave my house, Ah Yu, don't do it!Shen Chen and Yue Chi also joined in the fun, "Annan has never been there, it must be very interesting." It doesn't look like talking about war, it's like a holiday excursion.

Zhang Yu rolled his eyes at the two sons, "Follow me, who will take care of your mother? Who will take care of Axie and Yaya? Don't make trouble, just stay at home honestly." Children are not sensible.

"Father, you too, don't make trouble." Zhang Yu finished training the young ones, and then trained the old ones, "The emperor ordered you to think about your mistakes at home, why are you going to Annan?"

Jin Yucheng hurriedly said: "Marshal Zhang, the emperor ordered that if Master Shen Hou wants to go out with you, he will." How could the emperor be so accurate?Knowing that Lord Shen Hou is going to go to war with his adopted son.

Shen Mai was originally a little discouraged by Zhang Yu, but when he heard Jin Yucheng's words, he cheered up, "Ah, go to the battle with father and son!" Although he is old, his face is rosy and his spirit is bright.When it comes to killing people in battle, the young guy may not be able to catch up with him.

"Grandpa is right, father and son are soldiers." Shen Chen and Yue Chi said with a smile.One is 14 years old and the other is 11 years old. They are both taller than children of the same age, bold and fat, and have been aggressive since childhood.

Needless to say, Shen Chen is the successor of the Shen family Kungfu created by Shen Mai who devoted his whole life to it.Yue Chi looks gentle and handsome, but when he moves his hands, he is steady, ruthless, accurate and fast, just like his grandfather Jingning Marquis Yue Pei.

"Father, my grandfather fought on the Liaodong battlefield at the age of ten!" Yue Chi spoke plausibly, "He can do it as an old man, and so can we brothers!" His grandfather was the eldest son of Jingning Hou's mansion back then. Age to fight the enemy.

Zhang Yu said he couldn't beat Yue Chi, and became angry with Yue Pei.It's all your fault, you are only ten years old and you beat some Jurchens.I also brought my son into trouble, and I have to learn from you.It's a pity that Yue Pei is not by his side, otherwise, he would have complained a lot.

"You all go." Zhang Xi puffed out his small chest, "Mother and Yaya, I'll take care of them!" Grandfather, father, elder brother, and second elder brother are all going out to fight, and he is the only man left in the family, taking care of women and children. , Doing my part should be taken by myself.

Jin Yucheng, a hot-blooded young man, watched and listened, tears fell for some reason, and Zhang Yu was taken aback, "Mr. Jin, are you okay?" I didn't hit you or scold you, but I was right You are very polite.

Jin Yucheng hurriedly stretched out his sleeves to wipe away his tears, "It's all right." He stopped in the middle of the wipe, and said with a smile: "Marshal Zhang, I forgot to tell you that Lord Fu and Lord Yue have asked for leave from the emperor and are leaving The capital is coming to Meixi, it should be here soon." I had received the holy order to leave the capital immediately, and traveled day and night, and the two of them might not arrive until a few days later.

"Grandpa and grandpa are coming? Great!" Shen Chen was overjoyed when he heard the words, and he looked at Yue Chi with a tacit understanding: someone is watching the child.Don't worry about the naughty pair of Axie and Yaya anymore.Grandfather looked at Axie, and grandpa looked at Yaya, which was just right.

Zhang Xi dislikes Fu Shen the most on weekdays, and he refuses to call him father-in-law, so he has been calling him "Fu Hou Ye" for more than ten years.Hearing Fu Shen's name at this moment felt very pleasant to his ears. Although he always called himself a "foolish boy", he really loved Xie Yu and Yaya.

Shen Maile thought to himself, "I went to fight with Ah Yu, so Fu Shen and Yue Pei can only watch the children at home!" The more he thought about it, the more complacent he became.After Xie Yu quickly packed everyone's luggage and items, Shen Mai hugged Aji, kissed Yaya, laughed and Mimi got on the horse and left.He is naturally militant.Shen Chen and Yue Chi followed him from left to right, and the grandpa and grandson were all in high spirits.

Zhang Yu was reluctant to leave.Xu Xu Diao Diao talked privately with Jie Yu for a while, and then told Yaya for a long time, and finally hugged Zhang Yi, "Son, be good at home and listen to your mother. Let my sister." Saying goodbye, Fang reluctantly left the door.

Xie Yu took Zhang Xi with one hand and Yaya with the other, and stood in front of the door to watch the group of them go away.Yaya raised her face, "Mother, I will sleep with you at night." Zhang Xi also agreed, "Yes, I will sleep with you." They all looked sensible.

Xie Yu took the youngest son and daughter into his arms, and smiled and agreed, "Okay." The grandfather, father, and elder brother left together, and the two children might feel scared in their hearts.In the evening, I accompany my two children to read, write, play, and go to bed to tell them stories, "A long time ago, in the depths of the sea, the water was so blue..."

In the morning of the next day, Zhang Xi concentrated on practicing a large piece of Chinese characters, then concentrated on writing a letter, and handed it to Xie Yu, "Mother, please send it for me." Zhang Xi used to deliver letters for him, but now it can only be Explained.

Xie Yu took the letter with a smile, "Don't worry, Ah Xie, it will be delivered soon." I really don't understand what to say between the eight-year-old boy in front of him and the three-year-old boy in Taikang. of.Could it be that this is the fate in the legend?

The parents who sent the letter were a little puzzled, and the parents who received the letter also murmured in their hearts.How old is my daughter, and you are already thinking about it?Besides, you are only eight years old, what do you know at such an age.

Whispering back to muttering, Fourth Master Xie still took the letter to Xikuayuan.In the winter, his precious little daughter pulled a small trailer around the house, and the car was full of her small teacups, kaleidoscopes, dolls and other things.

"Hey, why don't you take it away?" Passing by He Li, he saw an exquisite, small and exquisite sewing basket, raised his face and asked eagerly.He Li was very obedient to her, and said "yes" gently, she immediately happily picked up the sewing basket and put it solemnly in the small trailer.Then, he pulled the car and walked away arrogantly.

Walking to Fourth Master Xie, he also asked for something, "Excuse me, take it away?" He pointed to the jasper pendant hanging around his waist.This should be worth some money!Xie Liunian knew that he had some family background, so he only picked expensive ones.

She was so small that she could only reach his calf, so naturally she couldn't reach the jade pendant around his waist, so she could only look up salivatingly.Fourth Master Xie glanced at her indifferently, stretched out his hand to untie the jade pendant, and handed it to her, "Just take it away." After taking it away, it will be hers.

Xie Liunian bared her teeth and smiled, she had all her baby teeth at this time, so her smile was very cute.One more asset!Xie Liu has always been a money fan in her past and present lives, so she carefully put the jade pendant in the doll's arms, pulled up the small trailer, and walked away.

A little person who is not as tall as a pillow, with a pink face and pink lips, happily playing alone.Fourth Master Xie, who was originally a man who couldn't express his emotions or anger, couldn't help but smile from the corners of his eyes and brows when he saw his little daughter.After she had had enough fun, he ordered someone to wash her hands and face, and carried her to the kang.Xie Liunian slipped into Fourth Master Xie's arms and moved around comfortably, "Daddy, let's talk." Next is study time.

Or stories about people, or poems, or fairy tales, or literary allusions, in short, one story every night.Xie Siye has a wide range of knowledge, and he has a strong memory. Listening to his lectures is a kind of enjoyment, and Xie Liunian likes it very much.

Tonight's talk is about Wang Yifu's "Ju Que A Du Wu".Wang Yifu was as elegant as Xuanyuan, and he never said "money". His wife ordered his maid to wrap money around the bed while he was sleeping.After Wang Yifu woke up, he ordered his maidservant to "hold up Aduwu" and never say the word "money".

Uh, why are you talking about this?Do you want me to learn elegance?Xie Liunian shook his little head in his father's arms.Wang Yifu came from the Langya Wang family, a famous family in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and later became the Sangong. When did he worry about money?He doesn't mention money, that's because he is never short of money!
Tao Yuanming dared to say "don't bow down for five buckets of rice" because he still has "a square house with more than ten acres and eight or nine thatched huts". If he didn't even have these, would he bend his waist for five buckets of rice?Five buckets of rice cannot be bent down, so what about fifty buckets?What about five hundred buckets?Is the price high enough?

"Sleeves are covered with cool breeze, and clear water is swallowed, and Yun Ting listens to good friends talking, but forgets hunger and thirst. Even celebrities who are so noble that they are not popular may not be able to suffer like this." A master is a master. Look at what he said. happy.But the above Xie Liunian was just thinking about it in his heart, and he couldn't say it.Two or three-year-old children have limited language skills.

Seeing the disapproving expression of the little daughter in his arms, Fourth Master Xie felt a headache, and felt that just reading books was not enough.The next day, he ordered people to take out bronze ancient Yi, Moyan frozen stone tripod, Ru kiln flower pouch, Jiaoweiqin and other things from his small warehouse, and rearranged Xie Jinnian and Xie Liunian's boudoir.

"Xiaoqi has been obsessed with these things since he was a child. He should no longer be obsessed with gold and silver. When he opens his mouth to withdraw money, his eyes will shine when he sees jade and jewelry." Fourth Master Xie looked at the generous and elegant house and was relieved. thought.
