As soon as Feng Yu came out of the yard, she was stopped by Feng Yu, "Feng Yu, my mother reprimanded you for your own good. You didn't know what to do and gave her such a big embarrassment. Is your heart made of stone? Second uncle and Aunt is not at home, how much mother has done for you and the second sister, is this how you repay her?"

Feng Yu said with a cold face, "If she has a little respect for my mother, how can I embarrass her?"

In the Da Furen's courtyard, Feng Wan and Li's mother were comforting the Da Furen, and the Da Furen burst into tears after being poked at the sore spot.

Mother Li said, "Ma'am, why do you bother to argue with the third lady? You keep your mouth shut and you are a merchant woman. The third lady is the most protective. She must feel that you disrespect the second lady. I must be angry. I have said a long time ago that Wang Li is cheating on you." You can't hide it, don't associate with him, and don't accept gifts from him, you can't hide it if it happens, you might get dirty all over your body."

Feng Wan said, "Mother, did you really take money from Wang Lizheng?"

"What kind of money, just collect some filial piety every year and festival. If Fengyu wronged me and Wang Lizheng for collusion, I will never admit it." The lady was so angry that her chest heaved, "This stinky girl usually looks like a Bodhisattva when she sees people. Laughing, I didn't expect that the words are so poisonous, and I can't wait to get into the cracks of the ground. I have grown up, and I have never been so humiliated by the juniors."

"It's because I was confused, I shouldn't have followed my mother's advice and mentioned the merchant girl..." Feng Wan said.

"She, Su Yuejiao, is a merchant girl who can't stand on the stage, and the second master is a reckless man who doesn't understand anything, so she was coaxed into a private life, and she would not marry." The eldest lady was made fun of by many people back then. The sister-in-law in the Guo family is a merchant woman, and her eyes were red with hatred, "Your marriage... was supposed to be you marrying into the Zhenbeihou Mansion."

"Mother!" Feng Wan's eyes turned red, "Stop talking."

"Poor my son, you have been wronged, and mother will find a good marriage for you." Mrs. Feng hugged Feng Wan with great distress, and said bitterly, "Second uncle has no males under his knees, and Feng Shu and Feng Yu can't marry her." Take away all her dowry, sooner or later it will belong to Wen Rong, and mother will also choose a good marriage for you, and see how long they can be prosperous."

"Ma'am is right to think so." Seeing that she had calmed down, Madam Li could only persuade her. Transferred to Beijing officials.

Fengyu also knew that her emotions were a little out of control. When she went back to the plum garden and watched the sea of ​​flowers gradually calm down, the guard died and was assassinated again. They were all scornful, so Feng Yu couldn't control her temper.Their sisters were raised under the old lady's knees, and they were in harmony with Feng Wan and Feng Yan on weekdays, except for some small disputes, there were basically no major issues.One year when the border was stabilized, Feng Changqing and his wife went home to reunite with their daughters, Feng Yu knew that Mrs. Feng was disrespectful to her mother, she was very displeased, she thought it was ridiculous when she was young, why did she look down on her mother?

If you really underestimate it, don't use the second room for a copper coin, she will be convinced.

When Qiuxiang returned to the courtyard, she asked the maids to act softly. Chunlu was injured, Feng Yu asked her to take a few days off, and Qiuxiang brought Ginkgo to take charge of the small kitchen.

After taking a shower, Feng Yu changed into clean clothes, and when Zhang Da came back, she handed him a letter, "You run there yourself and give it to Nuan Yang in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, he recognizes you."

"Yes!"

Zhenbeihou Mansion.

Xie Xun was in the pavilion with Lin Sheng, the eldest son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War. Lin Sheng was two years older than Xie Xun, and he had already served in the Ministry of War and was in charge of the Imperial Army.After Xie Xun returned to Beijing, he often went to the military department, and he got acquainted with him once or twice.Lin Sheng was eight feet tall, with a strong eye and a strong hand. He was a general. He wanted to join the army when he was young, but his grandmother was afraid that the sword would be silent on the battlefield.

Lin Shangshu's family and Lin Ge's hometown are of the same family. Lin Ge's father and Lin Shangshu's grandfather are brothers of the same mother. After their parents passed away, they separated.Zhenbeihoufu and Lin Shangshu's family are also considered relatives, and their blood is still very close, but Lin Shangshu's family and Zhenbeihoufu's family did not dare to get too close. intersect.

"Young Lord, it's really difficult to recruit soldiers now. Those who wanted to go to battle and kill the enemy went to Ningzhou by themselves, and stayed here because they wanted to live a stable life." Lin Sheng blushed a little while drinking, " It is understandable that Ningzhou wants to replenish the source of troops, but there are frequent changes in Sangnan, southern patrols need to be strengthened, and border defenses in every town also need people, and they cannot all be transferred to Ningzhou. There are only 13 garrisons in Kyoto now, and half of them are from aristocratic families My son, brother, unless the imperial court compulsorily conscripts, and everyone over the age of [-] serves, there is really no way to recruit people. Mandatory recruitment, no one dares to do so. Otherwise, if the foreign enemy is not defeated, and the backyard is on fire, who will be responsible?"

Xie Xun frowned, squeezed his wine glass tightly, and his eyes were inevitably worried, "Ningzhou has entered winter, there is no replenishment of soldiers, and there is no supply of food, grass and supplies. Father wants to win this battle. It is more difficult than going to heaven."

"Master Hou is brave and invincible. The Beiman will be defeated sooner or later." Lin Sheng said with a chuckle, "You people in Zhenbeihou's Mansion really care about the situation in Ningzhou everywhere."

"My father and brothers are all on the battlefield." Xie Xun lowered his eyes, covering the light in his eyes, "If it wasn't for my leg problems, I should have fought side by side with my father and brothers on the battlefield."

Lin Sheng patted him on the shoulder, shook the flagon and poured him a glass, "Don't think about it, the sky is falling, someone is holding it up, come, drink."

Xie Xun deliberately exaggerated the tragedy of Ningzhou in front of him. Others didn’t know much about the war situation in Ningzhou, and Emperor Jianming didn’t dare to send a supervising army. Ningzhou was short of food and had lost several battles. The core strength of the Zhenbei cavalry was still preserved. It is said that the whole army will work together to solve the Northern Man before the beginning of spring.But Jingzhong didn't know the real situation, and some people even hoped that Zhenbeihou would be defeated in Ningzhou, reducing his influence on the court.

Xie Xun recently went to the military department, hoping to recruit troops to replenish his combat power, and then went to the household department to keep an eye on the military ration case, and made a big fuss with the household department, creating a situation where the Zhenbeihou mansion in Ningzhou had run out of ammunition and food.

After he made such a fuss, the household department did not dare to cheat on the military ration dispatch for the next quarter, but now it is really impossible to raise food.

"Don't always go to the Ministry of Households. The crown prince ordered Lin Shangshu to supervise the batch of military rations. If you really investigate thoroughly, no one will look good." Lin Sheng said sincerely, "Brother, listen to my advice. , Take a step back to open up the sea and the sky."

Xie Xun mocked, "The army on the front line is still fighting without enough food and clothing, but the imperial court is playing tricks on the army rations. If Ningzhou is broken, the northern barbarians will be flattened, and it will be a matter of time before they reach Kyoto."

"With Master Hou here, how could Ningzhou be destroyed!"

"He is made of flesh and blood, not a god." Xie Xun just found it extremely ridiculous, "He also needs soldiers and horses, and food. He is over fifty, how long can he guard Ningzhou?"
