Chapter 218 Return from Victory
Two years later in the winter, the protracted war of the Great Xia Dynasty finally came to an end, and the final victor was Prince Rui who held a heavy army.With the end of this civil war, the Great Xia Dynasty, which had been devastated by the war, slowly resumed its former prosperity.

Like those family members who were forced to separate to join the army, Lin Guoxiang was in a very good mood these two days, because Wang Yuanzhi, who had been away for six years, was coming back.It can be said that he returned home this time, because he was brave and good at fighting with Babyface, and he was good at commanding. It seems that he has been greatly blessed.It is said that when the court affairs are stabilized, Emperor Huiren (baby face) will give him a first-class duke title such as the founder of the country.

In the eyes of others, it seems that the ancestral graves of the Lin family and the Wang family are all smoked outside to have such a great honor and joy. Of course, everyone in the Lin family also thinks so. When they heard that the young general Wang Yuanzhi was coming back together During the Chinese New Year, the whole family is full of joy.

Only Lin Guoxiang and Xiucai's husband and wife are a little worried. Both of them can see clearly that the current situation seems to be full of flowers and bright future, but who knows if the baby face will completely stabilize the political situation of the Great Xia Dynasty in the future? ?You must know that since ancient times, emperors have been suspicious and restrained, and Wang Yuanzhi became a general at a young age, and he also holds a heavy soldier. Even if he always fulfills his duties faithfully, who can guarantee that damned insidious baby face? Won't be suspicious of him?

And doubt is like a gunpowder seed, as long as it falls into the emperor's heart, any small spark can ignite it, bursting out with infinite power and causing countless disasters, and then I'm afraid it will be another bloodbath.

Although Lin Guoxiang and Xiucai also know that their thoughts are too negative, but they are not afraid of [-], but they are afraid of [-]. Counting the entire history, how many of the founding heroes who followed the founding emperor and made great contributions in the past dynasties ended well. Understand?There are not many, unless you are really smart to the limit, Cheng Mansion is so deep that even the emperor can't guess, otherwise, if the emperor really wants to touch you, it will be a matter of minutes?
So this kind of anxiety even dilutes the joy of Wang Yuanzhi's return a lot. Lin Guoxiang also knows that this is not good for her, and she scolds herself in her heart a few times. What are you thinking about, thinking about things that have no shadow?
But deep in Lin Guoxiang's heart was a fear for no reason. It is undeniable that this had to do with her subconscious sense of insecurity. But another reason was that in the historical documents she had read, this This kind of thing happens too much.Among other things, let's take the Ming Dynasty as an example. Are there few heroes who were the founders of the country that Zhu Yuanzhang killed?

Although Xiucai was a little worried in his heart, he was used to not showing anything on his face, and he also understood Lin Guoxiang's temperament. When it was real, it was the master who couldn't be pulled back by eight horses, so he suppressed the hidden worries in his heart and turned to persuade Lin Guoxiang.

"Guoxiang, it's a good thing for the children to have the achievements they have now, so don't worry about it. Didn't we say it a long time ago, these children choose their own paths, and we will take them hard Working hard to bring them up has fulfilled the duty of being a parent.” The implication is that when the children are grown up, don’t worry about those things in the future. Even if you want to worry about it, you have to have the energy to do it Row.

Lin Guoxiang sighed: "It's easy for you to say, but is it really possible to do that? If you say you don't worry about it, then you don't need to worry about it. You have to be able to control your heart." She waved her hand, "Forget it, I just worry about my life."

It has been almost eight years since she came to this time and space, and eight years is enough to change many things. She, a girl who didn't understand anything at the beginning, has gradually faded away from her original youthfulness and began to mature a lot.Although now being coaxed by a scholar is still childish, I also understand and experience many emotions that I couldn't understand at the beginning.For example, family affection, emotion, and the worry of worrying about the children all night, these were all incomprehensible before.

"You're just worrying about it. The child doesn't worry about it. What's the use of worrying about it?" Maybe it was because Wang Yuanzhi had been away for six years, and he didn't come back even once during that period. He felt a little resentful, so his tone was a bit bad.

Lin Guoxiang has been with Xiucai for so many years, and he can think of any kind of person with his toes, so he didn't even give him a look, and said directly: "Okay, don't complain about your father there." Hurry up and give me a hand, and wring this sheet dry." Then he lifted his feet and walked out of the tub, put on his shoes and took out the blue sheet from the tub.

Resentment to father... When Xiucai heard Lin Guoxiang's metaphor, he felt quite resentful in his heart. Why does it sound so awkward?If you don't know, you may have to think about it in a wrong way, this father is not that wife...

Xiucai rushed over to help Lin Guoxiang: "You must not listen to what I say, anyway, it's still early before the Chinese New Year, when that kid comes back, let him wash it by himself, in such a cold day, you have to do it yourself "In fact, what he wants to say is that as a husband, I haven't enjoyed such treatment a few times, but that kid is lucky, he hasn't come back yet. The sheets and quilts are already prepared early.

How could Lin Guoxiang fail to see the careful thought of a scholar, she glanced at him, and said, "You are only so promising, you are so grown up and your children are adults, and you are still jealous of your children." In recent years, Lin Guoxiang The relationship between Guoxiang and Xiucai is also slowly warming up during their daily relationship. Although it is not warm and full of passion like the romance novels, it is always flat but very heartwarming.And the relationship between the two is also a matter of course when the time comes, and they are together naturally.

"I said, daughter-in-law, you can't leave the child's father behind when you have a child, can you?" Xiucai was still a little cautious with her son.

Lin Guoxiang glanced at Xiucai, rolled her eyes, and said, "Okay, don't play tricks, at least I'll cook you a meal at noon later, all the dishes you like to eat, okay?"

"Am I worth so many dishes in your heart?" Xiucai complained even more, "Why do I feel so insignificant?"

"..." Lin Guoxiang tried her best to suppress the turbulent emotions in her heart, took a deep breath, and said, "Then what do you want to do?" It would be nice if I could cook you a delicious meal, and you still have to push forward.

Xiu Cai suddenly came over with a shy smile on his face, and said in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law, why don't you give me an extra meal at night?" Matching his wretched smile that he thought was very graceful, Lin Guoxiang I really want to lift my foot and kick him into the river where a thin layer of ice has formed at the head of the village.This guy is... really speechless, why didn't she realize that this guy can be so invincible even when he is shameless.

"Go, go, stay wherever it's cool, don't bother me here." Lin Guoxiang waved her hands like chasing flies with red ears, trying to drive the scholar away.

The scholar leaned forward even more, and said with a thick face, "Daughter-in-law, I think it's quite cool here."

Lin Guoxiang: "..."

……

The 24th day of the lunar calendar, also known as the Xiaonian, according to the ancient Chinese New Year customs, is to say goodbye to the stove, that is, to put a few snacks on the stove or at the door and so on. In the words of the people at the time, this is bribing the stove prince. Let him speak more good things in heaven.In fact, to put it bluntly, this is the same as taking people short of hands and eating people's soft mouths, which also includes everyone's good expectations for the coming year.

Lin Guoxiang didn't agree with this kind of superstitious practice at first, but she got used to it over the past few years. Although she still didn't agree with it in her heart, it was still a Chinese New Year custom, so let's make fun of it at that time.

After everything was done, everyone tidied up and were about to have dinner, when they heard a rush of horseshoes outside, then the sound of reining in, and then there was a knock on the door.There was an obvious sense of eagerness in the knocking on the door, but it seemed that he didn't dare to use too much force, as if he was afraid of breaking the door. Hear it yourself.

When the Lin family heard the movement, they were puzzled at first, and then suddenly thought of something, all of them were full of joy, especially Wang Yuanyue, who was even more excited, jumped out and opened the door three or two times, waiting to see clearly the people outside. Then he was stunned for a second and then suddenly shouted in surprise: "Brother, you are finally back!" Then he turned to everyone in the room and shouted: "Father, mother, my brother is back!"

Then he quickly stepped aside and let Wang Yuanzhi in. Lin Fanghou and Lin Fangnian looked at each other when they heard Wang Yuanyue's shout and ran out quickly. After looking at it for a while, Wang Yuanzhi suddenly stretched out his fist, left and right. He pounded on his chest and scolded with a smile: "You boy, you are finally back."

After the beating, Wang Yuanzhi didn't respond, but Lin Fanghou and Lin Fangnian grinned in pain and shook their hands exaggeratedly: "You boy, why is the flesh on your body so hard? Isn't it made of iron? Hiss, it hurts!" "

Wang Yuanzhi was still a little apprehensive on the way back, thinking that he hadn't been back for six years, and the two cousins ​​didn't know if they had forgotten him, or the relationship between them was estranged, but now it seemed that he was in his heart. The worry is obviously unnecessary.The atmosphere between the brothers when they met each other after six years was still as harmonious and natural as before, so he felt relieved.
