Brother Ting was both surprised and happy, his mouth opened wide and his grin reached behind his ears.
He looks so happy and silly!
The attentive Liu Yan quickly noticed something was wrong. She first glanced at Brother Lin, whose eyes were red, and then said softly: "We really deserve the kindness of the fifth aunt. Running back and forth like this, if you are tired,
, how can we feel at ease? Fifth aunt should go to Quanzhou with her cousin to settle down!"
What's more important is that Brother Lin is also traveling far away. Yin Xiaoxiao should always take care of his own son first.
Come to think of it, Brother Lin is unhappy because of this!
Liu Yan opened her mouth, and Brother Ting also reacted and stopped smiling a little: "Ayan is right. Fifth Aunt, you should go to Quanzhou with cousin Lin first."
Then, he said to Brother Lin: "You have to take good care of your fifth aunt."
The sullenness in Brother Lin's heart quickly dissipated, and he smiled and pouted at Brother Ting: "Can I still treat my own mother badly? I want you to worry about this!"
Brother Ting responded confidently: "That's not necessarily the case. If the fifth aunt feels bored staying in Quanzhou, just come and live in Fuzhou. I will provide for the fifth aunt in her old age, and it's the same."
The two brothers were having fun with each other, and Lu Yan and Mei Yun breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
The atmosphere was a little dull and tense just now, quite uncomfortable, but now it has finally relaxed a lot.
Yin Xiaoxiao didn't say anything at first, letting the two brothers chat and laugh for a while, and then he opened his mouth and said: "Brother Ting, I have already made an agreement with Brother Lin. I will go to Fuzhou to live for a while. When you settle down in Fuzhou, I will
It’s not too late to go to Quanzhou.”
Before Brother Ting could give in, Yin Xiaoxiao continued: "Brother Ting, you have been with me since you were three years old. Over the years, I have treated you as my own son. Brother Lin is older than you.
It doesn't hurt to give you a little bit. Besides, I will always live in Quanzhou from now on. Speaking of which, I still prefer Brother Lin. Don't worry about Fifth Aunt."
Brother Lin had calmed down a long time ago and took over the conversation with a smile: "Mother is right. As time goes by, mother will always live with me. Now it's appropriate to go to Fuzhou with you to live for a while."
"Cousin Ting, you don't have to say anything, just obey."
Brother Ting opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. His eyes turned red quickly, water droplets rolled in the corners of his eyes, and then fell down his face: "Fifth Aunt, cousin Lin, you are so good to me... wu wu...
I can't bear to be separated from you..."
The tall and handsome eighteen-year-old boy cried like a child.
Brother Lin's nose felt sour: "Cousin Ting, I can't let you go either."
The two brothers grew up together, ate and lived together, and were so close that they seemed like one person. Now that they were forced to separate, Brother Lin felt uncomfortable.
The two brothers hugged each other and cried.
Yin Xiaoxiao also felt sour in her heart.
All the feasts in the world come to an end! The children have grown up, flying into the sky like eagles, and it’s time to have their own world and life.
…
The next day, Brother Lin and Brother Ting said goodbye with tears and each embarked on their own path.
Brother Lin and his party entered Quanzhou. Brother Ting and his party continued to move forward to Fuzhou. As expected, Yin Xiaoxiao went with Brother Ting.
With Yin Xiaoxiao by his side, Brother Ting's sadness about separation was greatly alleviated.
Two days later, Fuzhou arrived.
There are 3,000 garrison troops in Fuzhou. The original garrison commander was transferred. As the new garrison commander, Ting Geer was of high birth and noble status. His scornful demeanor immediately shocked the ten people who came to greet him.
The rest are middle and low-level generals.
Brother Ting was not in a hurry to show off to everyone. He first settled down in the commander's residence and then held a banquet. All generals in the army were invited. All civil servants in Fuzhou's official circles also received the message.
Brother Ting grew up well-dressed and well-fed in the palace, and he spoke and acted in a royal manner. The civil servants and military officers who came to the banquet had a steelyard in their hearts, and after a brief weighing, they all adopted a respectful attitude.
The officials' eyes were very bright.
The commander of the garrison in a place is a fifth-grade general. Generally speaking, soldiers are promoted in the army based on military merit. If an ordinary soldier wants to be promoted to this official position, he does not know how many heads he has to chop off on the battlefield. Three
A ten-year-old commander is still young and promising!
Look at Prince Ning, he is only eighteen years old this year. He has received a real commission and went to Fuzhou to serve as a commander. It can be seen that the emperor attaches great importance to his nephew.
It is an eternal truth that there are people in the court who are good at becoming officials. No one has as strong a backstage as Prince Ning!
As for the female family members, Princess Fujian is in charge personally, which makes it more stable and secure.
After the banquet, Brother Ting personally escorted the officials out of the mansion. Then he went to see Yin Xiaoxiao, smiling excitedly and saying: "Fifth Aunt, I followed your instructions and didn't say anything more today. They all looked at me in front of me.
Respectfully."
Yin Xiaoxiao showed a knowing smile: "If you talk too much, you will make mistakes. You are new to Fuzhou and you are not familiar with people and things. In everything, stability is the first priority. Listen more, see more, think more, ask less, speak less and do less. Wait until you touch it.
Once the situation is clear, it will not be too late to rectify it slowly."
Brother Ting nodded obediently and said, "Yes."
Yin Xiaoxiao thought for a while and then whispered: "Building ships and training the navy is no small matter. Remember to submit a memorial first and wait for the emperor's approval before you start."
Training in private is a taboo.
Brother Ting certainly understands the reason: "Fifth Aunt, don't worry, I know the importance. After some time, I will write a letter to the Seventh Uncle first, and when the Seventh Uncle agrees, I will formally write the memorial."
How embarrassing it would be to submit a memorial rashly and be refuted!
Brother Ting may seem rough and arrogant, but he actually knows how to be measured.
Yin Xiaoxiao smiled happily: "As long as you know how to do it."
…
Yin Xiaoxiao lived in Fuzhou for two months.
It wasn't until autumn, when the weather was cool, and Brother Lin sent letters urging him one after another that Yin Xiaoxiao left for Quanzhou.
No matter how reluctant Brother Ting is to leave, he will be embarrassed to keep Yin Xiaoxiao.
Brother Ting used his own money to buy several carts of Fuzhou specialty mud houses, and personally sent Yin Xiaoxiao out of Fuzhou and a long way away.
Yin Xiaoxiao urged with a smile: "Okay, don't send it off. If we continue sending it off, we will soon arrive in Quanzhou. You are now on a serious errand, so don't be negligent. Do your job well, and when you have some free time, Fifth Aunt will come see you again."
Brother Ting's eyes lit up and he asked expectantly: "When will the fifth aunt be free?"
Yin Xiaoxiao: “…”
Yin Xiaoxiao coughed: "It's not urgent, I will always be free in the future."
My biological son will probably not be happy if he continues to live in Fuzhou.
It's really worrying that both sons are vying to support her in her old age.
