I steamed buns for the general

Chapter 50

When Yuehui's injury was almost recovered, Zhao suddenly sent two nuns over, saying that they were teaching Xie Zhijin the rules, so as to save someone who got married and lost Xie's family.

This kind of thing made Zhijin furious. She didn't return to Xie's house until she was 14 years old. Instead of reflecting on the sin of abandoning her, they despised her for growing up in the countryside and didn't know how to be polite.

Yue Hui scolded people angrily: "This Aunt Zhao is a mischievous villain, maybe she was the one who persuaded the master to throw the girl out back then."

Her words were just angry words, but in Zhijin's ears, it was a change of heart.She is about the same age as Xie Zhimian, but she is only five months older than him.That is to say, when she was born, Aunt Zhao was already in the Xie Mansion, so it is impossible for Aunt Zhao to be the one to make trouble.

But even though he was dissatisfied, when the two nuns came, Zhijin still asked Yue Banhao to entertain the two nuns.

Nanny Gui and Nanny Zhang are women in their early 40s.I heard that Nanny Gui taught the court ladies how to behave in the palace in the early years, and when she got old, she begged the master to leave the palace to take care of her.To be invited by the Xie Mansion this time, I am afraid that Mrs. Zhao put in a lot of effort.Although Nanny Gui looked a little serious, she was not overly careful.

And Nanny Zhang often works as a nurturing nanny for some big families, and she is also well-known in the circle. This time, Mrs. Zhao even spent a lot of money, asking her to train this new big girl well.

Nanny Zhang has seen a lot of things about the mother-in-law giving birth to children in a big family. It is the first time for a mother-in-law like Xie's mansion to be confinement, and it is the first time for her aunt to be the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter.But with short manpower, for the sake of money, of course, they don't care about these things, and they only need to do well what the master asks.

Nanny Gui is still thinking about the nobleman's instructions before, but it's not hard to know Hibiscus, but Nanny Zhang has received Zhao's money, and Xie Yuanzhou's tacit approval is much more powerful.

On the first day, Xue Lang, who was following Zhijin, was sent to the front yard, not to be alone with Zhijin.The euphemistic name is: Men and women have different seats at seven years old.Even the guards have to abide by the Xie Mansion's rules and cannot spend too long with the girl.

And since Qin Jin sent Xue Lang that day, many maids and servants in Xie Mansion were sold out, probably because of the leak of Yue Hui's injury. .

At the beginning, Qin Jin could still hear the news from Xue Lang every day, but after a while, Xue Lang didn't have much news about Zhijin. Middle school rules.

Qin Jin is a vulgar person, and he knows little about the affairs in the back house. He faces foreigners all year round in wars, and there are few twists and turns. Cleaning up was a temporary relief.

It seems that we must seize the time to propose a marriage.

Qin Jin didn't dare to think too much and hurried to discuss with Jiang.The population of Jiang's natal family is so simple that Qin's mansion doesn't have so many back houses, so they didn't feel wrong for a while, so they also thought about marrying back as soon as possible and taking care of them under their noses.

When the [-]th day of May arrived, Qin Jin found a matchmaker and went to the Xie Mansion with a bride price. After getting engaged, he non-stop chose the date of marriage.

Qin Jin is 22, and can't wait anymore, but Xie Zhijin is only fourteen, after the tenth day of the fifth month of the new year, she will reach her age.So they combined the horoscope and set the wedding date in September of the next year. Qin Jin will marry Xie Zhijin into the mansion.

As long as there is an engagement, Zhijin is not allowed to leave the mansion at will, even if it is a banquet for everyone or a banquet in the palace, she, a new girl in the mansion, is not allowed to go, so she can only be detained at home every day to learn etiquette with two nuns.

Over the past few months, Zhijin has lost a lot of weight. The small face that used to be fat like a baby has become sharper, and the big eyes are even more pitiful.

In the past few months, Zhijin seemed to have cut off news from the outside world, never leaving the gate.Having been taught by Nanny Zhang every day, she has become a little numb.It wasn't just their family that Gui Momo took over jobs, she only came here occasionally, so Zhijin was trained more by Zhang Momo.

The only consolation is that Mrs. Zhao doesn't seem to take her seriously. During this time, she seldom came to see her, even Xie Zhimian disappeared for a long time.

In August, the weather is getting colder, and Zhijin's black hair has grown very long.Although the Xie family deliberately made things difficult for her, but she will marry as the daughter-in-law of the Qin family, and the Xie family is not good at depriving her of food, so as not to offend the Qin family.

And Qiao's side also secretly asked Qingyao to send a message to Zhijin, telling her that she was fine and there was no need to worry about her.

After receiving such news, Zhijin was worried and puzzled. Logically speaking, mother and daughter have only met once, and mothers are usually very affectionate when they see daughters they haven't seen for many years, but their own mother is not. He was a stranger, as if all the tears and tears in the palace were fake.

It was Zhihang who answered her doubts, told her that he had come here all these years, and knew that Xie Yuanzhou had not harmed her except for placing Qiao under house arrest.

Zhijin was skeptical, and asked Yueban to go there secretly again. Seeing that Qiao's life was good, she felt relieved.

Unexpectedly, the good days are not long, and the first month of the new year has passed, and an imperial decree broke the expectations of many people, and awakened the expectations of many people.

The southern barbarians rebelled, and the emperor sent Qin and Jin troops to encircle and suppress.

One stone stirs up thousands of waves, some are happy and some are sad.

When Xie Yuanzhou heard the news, his left eye kept twitching, and he hurried to Prince Huai's mansion without changing his clothes.

Because of some inside information, King Huai was very happy with Qin and Jin's expedition. Seeing his staff coming, he quickly asked his servants to prepare meals, wine and meat, and the two of them ate and drank.

"Master Xie has a daughter married to the Qin family?" Duke Huai suddenly said after drinking for three rounds.

Xie Yuanzhou was startled, he didn't understand why he suddenly came up at this time, he was startled suddenly, and said in disbelief: "Could it be..."

Duke Huai nodded viciously: "That's right, Emperor Father has already become wary of Qin Jin. Although Qin Jin was favored before, but this time he came back to calm the Nanman, I'm afraid it's a great achievement. Some time ago, someone wrote a letter to Emperor Father Speaking of this matter, if it wasn't for Nanman being difficult to deal with, Emperor Father would not have sent him out. But when he comes back, Nanman will be sure that the frontier will be peaceful, and Emperor Father should be free to deal with him."

Xie Yuanzhou nodded unconsciously, drank the wine in the glass, then stood up and respectfully saluted Duke Huai: "Thank you for reminding me, otherwise, when Qin Jin comes back and marries a little girl, then Xie won't be able to wash himself clean. "

Duke Huai was very relieved that he had some interesting and intelligent people under his command. Although this Xie Yuanzhou was only the Minister of the Household Department, who knew that this Household Department was in fact his final say. Apart from his position, he also had a lot of rights.

Xie Yuanzhou has been preoccupied since he came out of Prince Huai's mansion, and even Zhao Shi's tenderness and consideration were absent when he returned home. He kept thinking about finding a way to get rid of the marriage after Qin Jin left.

An imperial decree caused a thousand waves.

The Qin family is no exception.

Probably because it was time to get married in less than eight months, who would have thought that the emperor would be so inconsiderate and abruptly send Qin Jin a certificate to pacify the Nanman.

This southern barbarian is extremely barbaric, and he may not come back for a year or two, and the marriage will be delayed again and again.

Jiang shi scratched his head and lost his mind, but Qin Yang didn't care, the son's going out meant that he would have more merit when he came back, and it's not easy for the son to reward the father, but it's very easy to reward the father.

Qin Jin received the imperial decree and returned to the house without saying a word.

Jiang was worried, and sent Qin Yang to Liu Yuqing, and began to comfort Qin Jin himself: "Maybe things are not that bad, maybe I will be back in half a year."

Qin Jin is not like his mother. He has seen how powerful the Nanman people are in his previous life. Judging from his previous news, the Nanman people are not easy to deal with.Even though he has the experience of the previous life, he was not the one to go to this battle in the last life. He can't fully know what Nanman is capable of now.This trip, I am afraid that it is possible to say less than a year, and at most two or three years.

"Mother don't have to worry, Zhijin will wait for me." Of course, Qin Jin didn't dare to tell his mother those worries, but he just calmed her down in a hurry, and planned to go to Xie's mansion at night.The impatience under this imperial decree, the border situation is worrying, and he is not allowed to make more preparations, but he is actually asked to set off tomorrow to quell the Nanman Rebellion.

In the afternoon, Qin Jin went out of the city to the barracks to convene the soldiers for a discussion, and then sent Zhao Hanshu to negotiate with the household department on food and grass matters, and Qiao Feng and others arranged for the army to march out. When he returned home, it was already dark.

It always gets dark early in winter, just after the second watch, Qin Jin sent away the servants and called Zhou Dao to wear night clothes and go to Xie's mansion together.

Why are you being thoughtful?Qin Jin snorted coldly, naturally to keep abreast of the wind.

Zhou Dao is dull, unlike his brother Zhou Quan, who is quick-witted.After confessing at the back door of Xie Mansion for a long time, Qin Jin flew in and disappeared into the night.

And Zhijin is not having a good time at the moment.During the daytime, the news of Qin Jin's expedition had spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital, and the Xie Mansion naturally knew about it.Mrs. Zhao also specially came over to talk to her, in fact, just to see her jokes.

It turned out that Xie Yuanzhou got the news of Qin Jin's expedition, thinking that Aunt Zhao was very unhappy because of Xie Zhijin's incident recently, so he sent a servant back early to inform Aunt Zhao what happened.When Aunt Zhao and Xie Zhimian heard this, they forgot everything else as soon as they were happy, and came with their arms crossed every minute.In their thinking, since Qin Jin can't marry Xie Zhimian, it's best not to marry Xie Zhijin. In short, it's best to destroy him if he can't get it. The widows can't be said, and even if Qin Jin came back, Xie Zhijin would be an old girl at that time, and they didn't believe that the Qin family would marry Xie Zhijin.

Aunt Zhao was fine, she put on her aunt's airs, and just said a few words speculatively, while Xie Zhimian's face was full of contempt: "Yo, I really thought that flying up a branch and turning into a phoenix, General Qin will have three or three days to go!" After five years, my sister will be old when she comes back, there is no guarantee that General Qin will despise her for being old and decrepit, how good this is."

Aunt Zhao covered her mouth, stretched out her hand to pinch her daughter, and seemed to teach her a lesson: "You girl, this is your sister after all, so please be kind. General Qin loves your sister, and he will definitely not dislike your sister for being old and depraved. Yes." The conversation changed, and he sighed, "Zhimian, you are not young anymore, so mother should take a good look at each other."

Yue Hui scratched the wall angrily, but Xue Lang couldn't get to the back now, and couldn't quench his thirst. Yue Hui was afraid of being beaten again, so he could only stare at the mother and daughter with hatred.

After Zhao's mother and daughter left, Xie Zhihang came again. The 12-year-old boy's voice became hoarse, and his hoarse voice was like a broken gong. He patched together and told Zhijin the news he got in the school.Only then did Zhijin understand the whole story.

Xie Zhihang saw that his sister was in a daze, thinking that he was worried about Qin Jin, so he comforted him: "Sister, there is no need to worry, General Qin is very powerful, and the Nanman people are not his opponents."

During the daytime, it was fine, with half a month and a half of their company, and the teachings of Mammy Zhang and Nanny Gui took up the time, so there was no free time.But when I was free at night, I had to think about it.

During the period when she and Qin Jin got along with each other in the Qin Mansion, she was not allowed to enter the Xie Mansion.And Qin Jin also stopped intruding into her boudoir in the middle of the night to avoid suspicion, and it seemed that the two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time.When was the last time we saw each other?It seemed that it was the birthday banquet of the old lady of Xie's mansion last autumn, and I secretly glanced at him from a long distance, but I don't know if he saw me or not.

If Qin Jin went out this time for three to five years, how could she wait?

Even if she had to wait, Xie Yuanzhou probably wouldn't agree, right?
Thinking of this, he tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep.

I don't know which muscle went wrong, and I subconsciously glanced at the window when the second watch drum sounded.
