Chen Er ran fast on the hillside, jumping and grabbing the letters flying in the air.
The two letters were very naughty, one was flying high and the other was flying crookedly. Chen Er was jumping around like a child, but he was not happy.
After grabbing both pieces of paper, Chen Er angrily threw them in Xiang Nan's face... He didn't want to chase them again.
He stuffed the letter paper into Xiang Nan's clothes: "You noble gentlemen, what are you unhappy about? You threw the table and the bench and cursed the world? Can you not be sad when something happens? Gu Ying felt sorry for himself, wearing thin clothes.
Sitting in the field from night to dawn?"
Xiang Nan laughed at what he said.
"That's because we have been taught since childhood to be decent and not to cause trouble to others." He said, "Smashing tables, throwing stools and swearing at others will disturb others."
Chen Er sighed: "You will also trouble me if you get cold."
Xiang Nan wrapped the cloak tightly with only one head exposed, and nodded: "I will wear thicker clothes next time."
The noble masters are all scoundrels. These people don't curse, but they are more troublesome than scolding. Chen Er is used to it and will not argue with Xiang Nan anymore, especially when he sees that Xiang Nan's face is whiter than the white cloak.
"If you don't want everyone to hear your curse, then curse it to me." He helped Xiang Nan up and said a word of concern, but he still couldn't help but curse, "Others are happy when they receive letters from home, but you are happy to do so."
When I receive a letter from home, I feel like I am being pushed up onto a mountain and feel lifeless. It’s really different from other people!”
Returning to the room, he sat down wrapped in a cloak, holding a bowl of ginger soup. Xiang Nan looked at the steam and said, "People are different from each other."
Chen Er didn't want to discuss human issues with him: "Did your family or your wife believe the rumors? People are different. You don't think others think so, and don't ask everyone to do what you think."
Xiang Nan sat up straight, blew the heat away, and looked at Chen Er with a proud smile: "You are wrong! My family did not believe the rumors, and my daughter-in-law did not mention this matter at all."
Even his family may be very happy when they hear this rumor. Madam Chu, what benefits can it bring? He looked at the soldier who had no family in front of him and did not say it. This sentence was not something that this soldier could understand and accept.
of.
He just laughed and his smile got bigger and bigger.
Chen Er curled his lips: "What are you proud of!" Then he looked even more uneasy, "Then what happened to your family?"
If it's not because of this, why are you so sad? Even laughing feels like crying.
Xiang Nan lowered his head and drank the ginger soup one mouthful at a time. A layer of hot steam came out from his head and face: "You should put some sugar in this ginger soup. It's too spicy."
Chen Er took it from his hand: "Would you like to drink it?"
Knowing that the young man was worried about himself, Xiang Nan stopped making jokes with him and said, "There is nothing wrong with my family. Everything is fine. There is also good news. My uncle arrived in Linzhou and was entrusted with the important task of leading the army by your majesty.
, just recovered Yuanzhou."
Chen Er was overjoyed: "Captain Xiang is really awesome!"
Uncle, he is indeed awesome. Xiang Nan nodded and smiled, and without waiting for Chen Er to ask, he continued: "The reason why I am unhappy is because my family arranged for me to do something, and I am very unwilling to do it."
Chen Ersong sighed, these children from rich families are really spoiled.
"Is there anything wrong with my family's arrangements? Of course it's for your own good."
"When my father sent me to join the army, I didn't want to. I even ran away. My father caught me and beat me and sent me away."
"Look at me now. If I hadn't been a soldier, I would have died a long time ago. How could I wear strong armor, eat well, and even if I encounter rebels and bandits, I would have a sword in my hand and a horse under it."
Chen Er rambled on, using himself as an example. Xiang Nan, wrapped in a white cloak, listened with a smile.
Seeing the serious and bright smile on the young nobleman's face, Chen Er slowly couldn't speak anymore. He knew and had seen with his own eyes that there were parents and families who sold their children...
Selling the children means that the family can no longer survive. Let the children find a way to survive. Of course, in exchange for money, the family can also find a way to survive.
Chen Er looked at Xiang Nan and said seriously: "It's just to survive."
But for those who have a way to survive, it is because of greed. Xiang Nan smiled and said nothing.
Chen Er slumped his shoulders and said, "If you really don't want to, don't agree."
Xiang Nan thought for a while and nodded: "Okay."
After the matter was settled, Chen Er straightened his back again: "Since you are far away from home, it doesn't matter if your family members are angry. Once the matter is over, it will be fine. Don't worry, your family members will not be angry for long."
Xiang Nan exhaled: "It's so annoying."
Even if he could say he was annoyed, he let it go. Chen Er felt relieved, snorted, and regained his previous contempt: "So, people like you are really annoying. If something serious happens, you will die. You are still a soldier fighting in the war."
She is like a delicate woman."
Xiang Nan drank the ginger soup in one gulp and waved at him: "Go, go, go."
Chen Er made a sound, picked up the ginger soup bowl and walked away with confidence.
The door curtain was lowered to block out the wind and frost outside, and the bright smile on Xiang Nan's face slowly dissipated. He took out the two pieces of letter paper stuffed in his chest and slapped them on the table.
Chen Er said he shouldn't agree if he didn't want to, but the crux of the matter was that his family never gave him a chance not to agree.
To leave incense for my brother, I married him another woman. This kind of thing sounds ridiculous and unbelievable even in troubled times.
This absurdity is not to leave an incense for my brother, but to tie a big tree to the Xiang family, which can provide shade, resist the wind and snow, and strengthen the momentum, just like when my brother died and was buried with the girls of the Zhu family,
It's not that I'm afraid that my brother will be lonely, it's that the yang relationship cannot be achieved, the yin relationship is also a relationship, it's a relationship, it's a help that can be used.
Xiang Nan looked at the letter. The letter was written by Mr. Xiang. His grandfather did not even hide the meaning. He directly told him at the end of the letter that if he didn't want to come back, there was no need to come back. These are troubled times, so you can calm the world outside.
After pacifying the world? Didn't he need to go home? After he returned home, who was he? He was the son-in-law of Jiannan Road, he was the son-in-law of Southeast Road. In short, he was not Xiang Nan. The bloody battle to pacify the world had nothing to do with him.
Xiang Nan touched the table and missed the spicy taste of the bowl of ginger soup just now. It was better than wine. He looked at another letter. Juanxiu's small characters were already somewhat familiar, but this time the writing was very messy. As you can imagine
I was emotionally unstable when I wrote the letter.
She got straight to the point and described the meeting with the girl from the Qi family.
"This eldest lady knew that she came to the Xiang family to get married to someone who was neither a human nor a ghost, but her words were arrogant and frank, without the slightest hint of restraint or displeasure. It was obvious that she was willing to do so."
"If you agree to such a thing, it must be of great benefit."
This benefit is probably greater for the Qi family.
"My grandfather and father refused to tell me clearly, so they must be in unspeakable suffering. Young Master, you didn't tell me either, so I think you don't know about it either."
"There are unspeakable hardships at home. Mr. Nan, you'd better not come back soon. When we meet, if we can't express the hardships, we have to swallow them."
Xiang Nan shook his head, this young lady didn't know she was suffering, but instead said others were suffering.
However, those who are willing will not feel bitter, but will feel proud of it. This is the case for this lady, and the same is true for that Miss Qi.
Xiang Nan turned over the two letters and put them on the table. It was unspeakably painful...so difficult that his uncle didn't even try to persuade him this time and just settled the matter.
"Here comes someone." Xiang Nan raised his head and shouted.
No Chen Er came in outside the door, but there was a soldier who had obviously been warned by Chen Er. He immediately came in and asked with concern: "What do you want, Master?"
Xiang Nan said: "Has there been a letter from Governor Xiang?"
The soldier said: "A few days ago..."
Xiang Yun wrote a letter a few days ago, saying that he arrived in Linzhou and was summoned by His Majesty. Fortunately, he lived up to his command and cooperated with the governors of Shannan Province to recover Yuanzhou. He wrote a letter to congratulate him. Xiaonan, you and I
Have a drink together.
He also wrote this sentence at the end of the letter, like a child showing off.
Xiang Yun has been a cautious person since he was a child. This is the first time he has shown such excitement. Xiang Nan seems to be able to see his uncle's happiness.
He is also very happy.
In such a happy letter, Xiang Yun did not mention at all the happy news of finding Xiang Bei an incense stick.
According to time calculation, Miss Qi's family was already on her way by that time.
Uncle, do you really not know? Or do you really not want to say anything to him?
Xiang Nan said: "Is there a new letter?"
The soldier shook his head: "Not these days."
Seeing the sadness on Xiang Nan's face, the soldier thought that what Chen Er said was wrong. The young master was not in a bad mood, but missed his relatives.
Xiang Nan nodded, and the soldiers turned around to leave. Just as they were about to lower the curtain, Xiang Nan called out again.
"Do you have a letter from Huainan Road?" Xiang Nan asked.
The soldier was startled and shook his head: "No."
Xiang Nan thought for a while and asked again: "Do you have a letter from Mrs. Chu?"
The soldiers shook their heads again. Huainan Dao and Mrs. Chu had never written to them...
He wanted to say this but couldn't. When Xiang Nan waved his hand, he hurriedly exited and stood outside the door, feeling the cold wind blowing. His dazed head felt a little better and he swallowed hard.
What Chen Er said was wrong, and what he was thinking was wrong. The young master was not thinking about his relatives, but... Mrs. Chu.
...
...
Xiang Nan wrapped himself in a cloak and moved to the map, his eyes wandering around the capital, Xuanwu Road and Huainan Road.
"Don't reply, ignore it." He said, raising his eyebrows, "You can even use Han Xu, why don't you use me?"
A person like him is so useful and suitable, why shouldn't she use it?
Xiang Nan turned around wrapped in a cloak, moved back to the desk, threw away the cloak, stretched out his hand to spread paper, grind ink and pick up a pen.
