In the blink of an eye, Brother Zao is five months old.
The little mouth is babbling all day long and I don’t know what to say.
Jiang Nuan sat there, reading the letter Huo Tian wrote to her.
She read these letters over and over again. She obviously hated reading, but she could memorize the words in them.
But I still couldn't help it, I had to take it out and read it carefully twice every day.
However, Huo Tian didn't write back for nearly a month. Jiang Nuan thought that maybe he had taken his soldiers deep into the desert and could not send him a letter in time.
She knew that what Huo Tian was doing was a big deal, and she couldn't do anything to help him, but she couldn't cause him any trouble either.
Then stay at home peacefully, raise your children well, and wait for the day when Huo Tian returns to class.
"Girl, Grandma Zheng is here." Zhuizi walked in the door happily, "Let me help you put away the letter first!"
"Sister Xu is here, please come in!" Jiang Nuan put Huo Tian's letter into the box with a blush, stood up and straightened her clothes twice.
Then I heard Mama Wan and the others talking to Xu Chunjun in the yard, and Jiang Nuan hurriedly went out to greet them.
Xu Chunjun wore a goose-yellow dress, with a flower pattern on it, and held a Suzhou embroidery fan in her hand.
Xiang Jiang Nuan smiled and said, "I came here uninvited today. You have to treat me with good tea and good food, or I won't come next time."
Jiang Nuan happily took her hand and said, "I'm going to invite my sister, but she still can't come! You don't know how happy I am that you're here!"
"The weather is so nice, why don't you go out for a walk?" Xu Chunjun asked as she walked inside.
"The weather is hot, and I'm sweating all over when I go out. Brother Zao is small, and he'll either be hungry or sleepy after being carried out for a while, which is really troublesome!" Jiang Nuan said, "It's better to be quiet at home."
Then he asked Xu Chunjun: "Why did my sister have time to come to my place today? I have been thinking these days that one day I will go back to the east and invite you and sister Yuzhen to sit together! It just so happens that you are here.
coming!"
"I've wanted to see you for a long time, but something kept delaying me. How are you these days?
Have you tasted the food I asked them to bring you two days ago? It was brought over by their boat on the Dengzhou waterway."
"Sister Xu, you are so kind, and you think of me all the time. It's just that you brought too much, and I couldn't finish it by myself, so I gave some to my aunt and her family, and they all agreed! They also had a meal when they came to the capital.
It’s been 2 years and I miss home very much.”
"Actually, it's not much. It's just enough to divide the two families. I know why you need to give a share to your aunt and her family. Giving less will not be enough."
"My brother-in-law is still studying at home? He is really studying hard now!"
"He is also busy at both ends. He is also busy with the dock business and studying. But he is always distracted.
By the way, has your father-in-law written to you again recently? I don’t know what is going on with the war ahead."
"I don't know. When he writes to me, he always reports good news but not bad news. Now I haven't received a letter for more than a month. I guess he is busy!"
While the two of them were talking, the maid brought tea.
Seeing Jiang Nuan say this, Xu Chunjun knew that she had not heard the rumor, otherwise she would not be so calm.
Since she doesn't know, she shouldn't mention it yet.
So I just talked to Jiang Nuan about some common things.
"Sister, how many more months will Lvchun be born?" Jiang Nuan asked, "I really want to see what her child will look like."
Sikandar is from Fanbang. Although everyone has seen what he looks like, they have never seen what a child with Fanbang blood looks like.
"It will take two or three months! Don't worry, I will tell you when she gives birth." Xu Chunjun said with a smile, "But Sikandar said that the people there were fat and white when they were young, with curly hair.
"
Just as he was talking, Wan's mother came in from outside and reported to Jiang Nuan: "Madam, Mrs. Jiang and the eldest grandma of the Zong family are here. Do you want to see them?"
Since Huo Tian left Beijing, Meng and Jiang Qing have come occasionally.
But Jiang Nuan didn't see her every time, mainly because she didn't know what to say to them.
What's more, Xu Chunjun is still here today, and Jiang Nuan doesn't want to see them even more.
"Anyway, I'm here, why don't you invite me in to meet you?" At this time, Xu Chunjun said from the side, "My carriage is outside, they must have seen it. It's hard to say that you won't see the guests today."
The reason Xu Chunjun said this was because he was afraid that Jiang Qing and her daughter would also hear the rumor and deliberately come to Jiang Nuan to stir up trouble.
Jiang Nuan is sincere and it would be bad if he got caught in the trap.
I can still help her calm down her bluffs here.
Jiang Nuan heard what Xu Chunjun said and said, "Then please come in."
At this time, Jiang Qing and her daughter hadn't gotten out of the car yet, and they were discussing quietly in the car.
"Mom, the person named Xu is here. I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle today." Jiang Qing was a little annoyed.
"What's the point? We have a long time to come! If we can't say it today, why not another day?" Meng was very patient.
"Mother, do you think the person named Huo is still alive?" Jiang Qing asked in a low voice.
"Even if he is alive, he will probably never come back. How could the Huns let him go?" Meng Shishuo said, "The two sides are fighting. Do you think you are just a child running a family banquet?"
Meng now has close contacts with the families of many high-ranking officials in the capital, so he naturally heard some news.
Huo Tian disappeared in Mobei. It is said that he brought dozens of cavalry to survey the terrain.
But not long after we went out, there was a strong wind.
If there is a strong wind in the desert, that is never a good thing.
It can range from getting lost, to being buried alive.
What's terrible is that the wind blew for a whole day and night before it stopped.
After the wind stopped, the others went to search separately, but found no trace of Huo Tian and his team.
When the news was reported back to the capital, Huo Tian had been missing for more than half a month.
Everyone felt that there was a lot of misfortune.
When Meng heard the news, he immediately felt that there was an opportunity.
Huo Tian died, and Jiang Nuan became a widow.
How could a widow who was guarding so much family property not be coveted?
Jiang Yinzhi, the father, and Meng, the stepmother, certainly did not want their wealth to flow to outsiders.
Moreover, Meng and Jiang Qing's original intention was that once Huo Tian died on the battlefield, they would find a way to seize Jiang Nuan's property.
"We still need that kid," Jiang Qing was referring to Jiang Nuan and Huo Tian's son Zao Geer.
With this seedling present, the Huo family's title can be retained, and it will not be their turn to interfere in the Huo family's affairs.
"After all, he is too young and too impatient. How can such a big thing grow up so easily? Three plagues and six illnesses, headaches and brain fever. I don't know how many disasters are waiting for him ahead!" Meng smiled.
It means something.
With her methods, no matter how strong Brother Zao was, she could still find a way to make him die young.
"Then let's not mention this topic today," Jiang Qing said, "so as not to alert the enemy."
"That's right, let's go in and do some household chores without staying too long." Meng said with a smile.
