The general said she doesn't take a wife

Lin Aoxue gave porridge for the whole day, and she didn't even eat two bites at noon. When the sunset was in the west, Yunyan led Jinong to meet Lin Aoxue, Lin Aoxue found a small restaurant in the city, and the three of them Sit down and have a meal.

During the dinner, Lin Aoxue told Jinong that he had sent people to divert water. Jinong nodded, but did not show any concern for the matter. He handed over the drawings to Lin Aoxue, believing that Lin Aoxue could handle the matter well.

After dinner, Jinong refused to let Lin Aoxue and Yunyan see him off, and staggered away with a jug of wine, saying that he would go to see the victims' injuries the next day.

The soldiers sent by Lin Aoxue to dig the ditches came back that night. Xue Guan reported to Lin Aoxue the process of water diversion and the current situation in each village:

"Your Majesty, the floodwaters in the fields of the several villages we are in charge of have been released, and all of them have been poured into the river at the bottom of the mountain. The water in the river has risen a lot. It will not take long for the floods in the nearby villages to disappear."

Lin Aoxue nodded. It was better for her to come today. It didn’t rain in Yujiang City, but if it rains again, I don’t know what will happen. Lin Aoxue decided to stay in Yujiang for a while to see the situation inside and outside the city. Besides, only ditches have been dug, no canals have been built.

These things take time and cannot be done overnight.

Lin Aoxue waved Xue Guan to lead the people down to rest. She was already exhausted after a busy day today, and it was getting dark outside, so it was time for the soldiers to take a good rest.

Xue Guan bowed to leave, while Yun Yan pushed the door and walked in, handing Lin Aoxue a bowl of hot soup.

This time she and Yunyan came back to Yujiang, and they didn't live in the city lord's mansion. She never liked those ostentations, except for the grand occasion when she married Yunyan, and she always kept things simple when traveling.

Lin Aoxue built a small courtyard near the City Lord's Mansion, enough for her and Yun Yan to live in.

"It's late at night. I've been busy all day today. It's time to take a break earlier so that you don't get tired."

Yun Yan walked behind Lin Aoxue, pinched her shoulders and loosened her neck, Lin Aoxue enjoyed it so much, leaned back slightly, and leaned into Yun Yan's arms.

They were exhausted all the way, and just arrived at Yujiang, they were too busy to touch the ground, Yunyan felt sorry for Lin Aoxue, and Lin Aoxue didn't love Yunyan, she raised her hand and pressed Yunyan's catkin on her shoulder, signaling that she didn't need to press her shoulder , followed by a sigh:

"Thanks to the help of seniors, otherwise, I really can't think of an idea for the flood in Yujiang City. Even if I come to Yujiang, I'm afraid I will have to forcefully open the canal in the end. I can't predict the result."

Yunyan understood what Lin Aoxue meant, and she was lucky to be able to contact her master, but Lin Aoxue's benevolent heart, the importance she attached to this matter, and her attitude towards the common people also contributed. Pulled it out, and then pressed Lin Aoxue's forehead to relieve the swelling pain between her forehead, and at the same time said softly:

"It's also because Mu Xue is kind-hearted and sincere, so things can always get better."

Relieved by Yunyan, Lin Aoxue was very upset, she nodded, she seemed a little sleepy, and said:

"Have someone bring up a basin of hot water, let's wash up and rest."

Yun Yan said hello, then opened the door and went out to tell the palace servants at the door to fetch some hot water.

After a while, someone knocked on the door, and a childish voice sounded outside:

"My lord, this servant has brought the hot water you asked for."

Lin Aoxue was taken aback when she heard the sound, Yun Yan also blinked unexpectedly, and then walked quickly to open the door, but saw the older child they picked up today standing outside the house holding a water basin, looking nervously at him. With clouds and smoke.

After the palace man brought her and her sister back, they took a bath, washed off all the mud stains on their faces, and changed into cloth clothes worn by servants. As far as children are concerned, it is already very good.

After washing his face, the child looked delicate and delicate after putting on new clothes, his eyebrows had not yet opened, and his appearance was regarded as high-class among ordinary people, and his appearance was very attractive.

Her watery eyes are very pleasing.

Yunyan took the water basin from the child and said with a smile:

"Come in."

The girl followed Yun Yan into the house, Lin Aoxue was taking off her coat, when she turned her head and saw Yun Yan leading the child in, she put the clothes on the table, looked at the child and asked:

"I forgot to ask today, what are your and your sister's names?"

The little girl naturally knew everything about her benefactor's question, and she bowed to Lin Aoxue according to the etiquette taught to her by today's palace people, the gesture of the blessing body was not standard.

The small child insisted on pretending to be mature and stable, which made Lin Aoxue laugh, but she didn't want to embarrass the little girl, so she suppressed the smile on her lips.

"Returning to your lord, the maidservant's first name is Fang Yuzhu, and the younger sister's full name is Tan Queyu. Both parents call her Xiaoyu."

Lin Aoxue and Yun Yan were surprised when they heard the words, and asked:

"Aren't you real sisters?"

If they are sisters, how can they have different surnames?

Fang Yuzhu pursed her lips, looked at Lin Aoxue with watery eyes, nodded and replied:

"Well, the servant girl is the adopted daughter of Xiaoyu's parents. Both Xiaoyu's father and the servant girl's father were guards in the capital. The servant girl died early. Later, her father also died in the battle against the bandits. The adoptive father sent the servant girl She was adopted by her family, treated her servants like her own daughters, and taught them to read and write."

"Three years ago, when Xiaoyu was under one year old, her father died in the chaos in Beijing, so my mother brought her servants and Xiaoyu back to her mother's house, but her family didn't want to see orphans and widows, so they kicked us out. Mother had no choice but to I can only be a maidservant to take care of my servant and Xiaoyu, even though I worked so hard, my mother did not abandon my servant..."

While Fang Yuzhu was speaking, tears welled up in her eyes and her voice became choked up. She sniffed and continued:

"Later, my mother fell ill from overwork and became seriously ill. Her family came to rob her of her hard-earned savings. My mother was so mad at them that no one collected her body. The servants were afraid of scaring Xiaoyu, so they Secretly buried mother."

Speaking of this, Fang Yuzhu had already begun to wipe away tears, and the tears rolled down her face like broken beads, even Lin Aoxue and Yun Yan who were listening to her words became very serious.

What happened to these two children was terrible.

"Since then, Numai has made up her mind that she must protect Xiaoyu well in this life. She is Numaid's own younger sister."

Although there were still tears on her face, Fang Yuzhu's eyes were very firm, and no one would doubt what she said when facing these eyes.

Yunyan touched Fang Yuzhu's head and said to her:

"You won't be bullied in the future, go ahead and let the aunts in the courtyard arrange a place for you to live in. You will live in this courtyard for a while."

Fang Yuzhu wiped away tears, took two steps back and knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Lin Aoxue and Yun Yan again, choked up and said:

"Thank you for taking me in, my lord. From now on, slaves and Xiaoyu will do their best to repay you."

Fang Yuzhu withdrew after worshiping, the water in the basin was already a bit cold, Lin Aoxue went to soak the handkerchief in water and wrung it out, then turned to wipe Yunyan's hands and face, and suddenly sighed helplessly.

Yun Yan looked at her, as if she could understand Lin Aoxue's heart. Seeing the latter's frowning face, she took the initiative to ask:

"Are you sorry for these two children?"

Lin Aoxue sighed, with a look of sadness in her eyes:

"Yeah, such a small child..."

Such a young child has already tasted the warmth and coldness of human relationships before he understands the right and wrong.

Yun Yan took the veil from Lin Aoxue's hand, twisted it again, and then wiped Lin Aoxue's face. Her eyes were gentle, she stared at Lin Aoxue's tightly knit brows, and rubbed Lin Aoxue's raised brows with her slender fingertips. Scattered, suddenly said:

"If you really love these two children, if not, let's adopt them as righteous daughters."

Lin Aoxue kept this matter in mind, if she couldn't find a solution, Yun Yan estimated that Lin Aoxue would not be able to sleep again tonight.

The two of them would never have future generations, but meeting these two children today is considered a secret fate.

Lin Aoxue was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, she looked up at Yunyan, only to see the latter's brows and eyes were gentle, she said the words just now softly, but Lin Aoxue knew that Yunyan must have thought carefully before making such a proposal.

On the side of the courtiers, Lin Aoxue was fearless. The courtiers agreed to her marriage with Yun Yan, so naturally they would not say anything about her adopting a child.

However, their identities are no longer ordinary, and it is easy for them to decide to have sex, but for these two children, it is not a good choice.

After Lin Aoxue heard Yunyan's proposal, she fell into a brief silence, and the corners of her tightly pursed lips formed a thin line, proclaiming the hesitation and thinking in her heart.

Becoming the adopted daughter of the emperor and empress, her status and rights have increased, but she also has to bear many risks and pressures accordingly.

In the deep palace, the struggle for power is ruthless.

The longer she stays in a high position, the deeper Lin Aoxue's feelings are. The burden on her shoulders is heavy. If Yunyan is not by her side, she doesn't know how long she can last.

Many times, she would think that it would be great if she could be an ordinary person.

Yun Yan didn't understand Lin Aoxue's concerns, she hung the handkerchief on the side of the basin, raised her hand to untie Lin Aoxue's clothes, and said softly at the same time:

"The fathers of these two children died in the chaos in Beijing three years ago. Speaking of which, they have something to do with us. We haven't met the others, but today you just happened to save them. A kind of fate."

She reached out and rubbed Lin Aoxue's shoulder, and sat down on Lin Aoxue's lap:

"If you have doubts in your heart, why don't you call them to come and ask them tomorrow, and if they don't want to, then you don't have to force them."

Yunyan used to think about Lin Aoxue, she knew that Lin Aoxue had a heavy burden on her shoulders, and she was not too young, so she had to find someone to take over her responsibilities.

These two children have good dispositions. If they can be properly guided, they may not be unable to become talents in the future.

It's just that in this way, these two children might have lived ordinary lives as ordinary people, but they were forced to be brought into the battle of the emperor's house. It's hard to tell whether it is good or bad.

Yun Yan stroked Lin Aoxue's hair by her ears, stared at her tenderly, and said with a smile:

"Besides, Mu Xue, tell me, who in this life can truly be free from worries?"

"The common people are fed and clothed, while the nobles in the palace are fighting for power and profit. Even you and I have gone through many hardships to achieve our current status and achievements. No one can truly live a free and easy life. These two children have no choice. You gave them hope and a new direction, why should you feel guilty."

Yunyan's words entered Lin Aoxue's heart, she was silent for a while, then raised her head, looked at Yunyan with a wry smile, the two looked at each other, Lin Aoxue let out a breath, she hugged Yunyan's waist tightly, and pressed her Burying his face into Yunyan's neck, he murmured:

"Yan'er still understands me."

After she finished speaking, she sighed again, and then expressed her decision:

"I want to observe for another two days. If the two children are really suitable, I will discuss with them."

Yun Yan gently stroked Lin Aoxue's head, and said nothing more.

Early in the morning of the second day, Lin Aoxue and Yun Yan got up, just after getting dressed, Fang Yuzhu knocked on the door, and said outside the door:

"My lord, the servant has brought breakfast."

Yunyan was still arranging her clothes, Lin Aoxue walked over and opened the door, she took a look at Fang Yuzhu, let her into the room, and said with a smile:

"Why do you get up so early?"

Fang Yuzhu paid homage to Lin Aoxue, she looked more standard than yesterday, it seemed that she practiced secretly after going back last night.

"The servants get up earlier so that they have the opportunity to deliver meals to the adults. The aunts in the courtyard don't let the servants do anything because they are young. Only such small things can the servants help."

Fang Yuzhu spoke so sincerely that Lin Aoxue didn't think of how to respond for a while.

The little girl entered the room with a tray, and neatly placed several plates of pastries, white fungus soup and other foods she had never seen before on the table. He didn't show any concern, he put the plates in order, and was about to step back.

Lin Aoxue smiled at Fang Yuzhu, suddenly she had a thought, and said:

"Why don't you invite your sister to come over for dinner together."

Fang Yuzhu panicked when she heard the words, knelt down and bowed quickly, and said in confusion:

"My lord can't force it. The meals that the aunts and aunts in the courtyard have given our sisters are already very good. How can we go beyond the rules."

Lin Aoxue sighed in her heart, she didn't force her, she just said:

"So, you go down."

Fang Yuzhu bowed again, and then stepped back with the lunch box in hand.

Yun Yan tidied up and came out, she saw Lin Aoxue sitting at the table sullenly, just now she heard Lin Aoxue and Fang Yuzhu talking outside, presumably that child didn't like Lin Aoxue again.

She shook her head helplessly, walked over slowly, sat down beside Lin Aoxue, put a piece of steamed cake in Lin Aoxue's bowl, and said with a smile:

"what happened?"

Lin Aoxue picked up the chopsticks, picked up a small piece of steamed cake, put it into her mouth, sipped it, swallowed it, and then replied:

"Yuzhu is too unfamiliar to get close to."

Yun Yan burst out laughing when she heard this, Lin Aoxue gave her a dissatisfied sideways glance, but she heard Yun Yan say cheerfully:

"Last night you said you wanted to observe again, but today you asked those two children to eat at the table. Don't you want to scare them?"

Lin Aoxue scratched her head, thinking that what Yunyan said was reasonable, but she didn't know how to deal with this situation, so she had to eat with her head depressed.

Yun Yan looked at her helplessly, and said:

"After you eat breakfast, go to deal with the flood first. I will watch these two children first, and I will talk to them later. It should be better."

Lin Aoxue stopped the chopsticks in her hand, looked up at Yunyan, Yunyan's eyebrows were gentle and sincere, Lin Aoxue bit her lip, and then said:

"Yan'er, thank you."

Yun Yan scolded her:

"Fool, eat quickly."

Lin Aoxue was about to go out after having breakfast, but the sky outside suddenly darkened, and then it started to rain again. Lin Aoxue took an oil-paper umbrella and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion, called the City Lord to the front, and ordered him to go to the outskirts of the city to build a shelter to keep out the rain. Sheds to look after the refugees.

The city lord did as he said, so Lin Aoxue called Xue Guan again, and put in front of Xue Guan the plan on building the canal on the blueprint, and asked him to take people to build the canal. Xue Guan's efficiency and quality made Lin Aoxue very relieved. Leaving these matters to Xue Guan, Lin Aoxue almost didn't have to worry too much, she just had to wait for the results.

After arranging the task of building the canal, Lin Aoxue once again led people to the outskirts of the city to give porridge. The place where the refugees gathered yesterday was building a simple canopy. Lin Aoxue stood under the city gate and watched the canopy being built bit by bit. After getting up, the refugees had a place to shelter from the rain, and their injuries would not worsen, so she was barely relieved.

Ji Nong came to the refugee pile early, checked the injuries of the refugees one by one like yesterday, and then applied medicine to those refugees. Lin Aoxue walked over and told the old man the results after digging the ditch to divert water yesterday. After listening to what Lin Aoxue said , stroking his beard and laughing:

"It's not bad. In this way, the flood in Yujiang City will be relieved in a short time."

Lin Aoxue bowed to Jinong with a respectful expression:

"Thanks to the help of the seniors, it solved the urgent need of Ningguo. On behalf of the people of Ningguo, I thank the seniors for their great kindness."

Jinong was not polite at all, and accepted Lin Aoxue's worship openly.

Lin Aoxue supervised the porridge distribution on the outskirts of the city for several days in a row. The flood in Yujiang City was suppressed bit by bit. As the disaster situation in Yujiang City gradually improved, the big stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.

In the past few days, besides Yunyan and Jinong, Lin Aoxue also called all other doctors in Yujiang City to treat the victims.

Although Lin Aoxue and Lin Aoxue did not reveal their identities, the news that the empress came to Yujiang in person and brought [-] forbidden troops to Yujiang for disaster relief has already reached the ears of Yujiang people.

Since the imperial army arrived in Yujiang, the disaster situation in Yujiang has gradually eased, and the injured victims have also been treated reasonably.

The news of the empress's in-person medical examination in Weifu was also spread at this time. Under the ebb and flow, the rumors of framing the empress before became smaller and smaller. Even if someone complained about the empress or the empress in Yujiang Road, it would definitely arouse public outrage. , attack them together.

After Lin Aoxue left the small courtyard that day, I don't know what Yunyan said to Fang Yuzhu and Tan Queyu's two daughters. When Lin Aoxue returned to the small courtyard that night, she found that Lin Aoxue had replaced the maid who usually served by their side with Fang Yuzhu.

Yunyan also personally taught Fang Yuzhu how to make tea, and the little Tan Queyu watched by. After the tea was brewed, Yunyan asked Xiaoyu to bring the tea made by her sister to Lin Aoxue.

Lin Aoxue sat on the main seat, took the tea, blew it lightly a couple of times, and put it into her mouth, it was slightly hot, but she could drink it. As far as tea for kids is concerned, it's not bad.

Lin Aoxue smiled at Xiaoyu, then looked at Fang Yuzhu, and said:

"good."

Fang Yuzhu and Xiaoyu were praised, their little faces were flushed, and they looked a little shy.

Lin Aoxue laughed, raised her eyes and looked at Yunyan, and saw a touch of tenderness in the latter's eyes, which was warm and different from usual, Lin Aoxue seemed to have never seen it before.

Since that day, Fang Yuzhu, Tan Queyu and Lin Aoxue gradually got in touch with each other, and they were finally able to let go little by little. They were no longer as stiff as they were when they first came. It was time for Lin Aoxue and Yun Yan to return to Beijing.

Before they returned to Beijing, they called the two children to them. Lin Aoxue thought it over and over before finally speaking:

"Yuzhu, I thought about it a lot earlier, I wanted to send you to ordinary people..."

Before Lin Aoxue finished speaking, Fang Yuzhu's eyes turned red first, and she obviously wanted to go wrong again.

Xiaoyu held her elder sister by the hand, raised her head and blinked her eyes, looking at Lin Aoxue and Yunyan puzzled, unable to understand the meaning of Lin Aoxue's words.

Seeing that Fang Yuzhu was about to cry, Lin Aoxue felt helpless and turned to Yunyan for help.

Yunyan smiled, and continued her words:

"You Auntie Ning is worried about you, so she wants to adopt you two as adopted daughters, but she is also worried that you don't want to, Xiaoyu is still young, so she can only listen to her sister, so Yuzhu, we called you here, I just want to ask, would you like to be Aunt Ning's adopted daughter?"

Fang Yuzhu was extremely shocked. She never thought that such a good thing would happen to their sisters. After being stunned for a while, she murmured:

"As an adopted daughter, do I need to change my surname?"

If a child of an ordinary family is adopted by someone else, they usually have to change their surname. The reason why Fang Yuzhu didn't change it was because Tan Queyu's father thought that his comrade-in-arms must have a descendant named Fang, so he didn't let Fang Yuzhu change his surname.

Lin Aoxue and Yun Yan looked at each other, never thought that Fang Yuzhu had thought so much, but they didn't hide anything, and said bluntly:

"Yes, if you are willing to be our adopted daughter, you must change your surname to Ning."

Fang Yuzhu was silent, her small face was full of struggles, she didn't even notice that Lin Aoxue used the word "we" when she spoke, and she didn't realize why she had to follow Lin Aoxue's surname after becoming Lin Aoxue's adopted daughter" rather".

She only knew that Lin Aoxue and Yun Yan were distinguished, but she didn't know how noble they were.

Lin Aoxue and Yunyan were not in a hurry to rush, they were willing to give the two children, or rather, Fang Yuzhu enough time to think about it.

For such an important matter, if Fang Yuzhu could immediately abandon the past and agree to their proposal, she felt that she still needed to consider whether to tell the two children their true identities.

Fang Yuzhu was silent for as long as a cup of tea, and then she suddenly bent her knees, prostrated herself on the ground, and said:

"Yuzhu and Xiaoyu thank you for your kindness. My lord is willing to adopt me. Yuzhu shouldn't have any objections, but Yuzhu still has an unfeeling request."

Lin Aoxue took a sip of the tea in the cup, and said in a calm tone:

"You said."

There was no expression of joy or anger on her face, and Yunyan didn't make a sound. Fang Yuzhu swallowed nervously, and then cautiously asked:

"My lord, please adopt Xiaoyu, but this servant is willing to give up this opportunity. Yuzhu and Xiaoyu, there should always be someone who will do filial piety for the deceased parents. Xiaoyu is still young, she can't take care of herself, and this servant also has self-knowledge. , I can’t protect Xiaoyu well, and since the adults wish to adopt Xiaoyu, they will definitely treat her well, the slaves have nothing else to ask for, and I hope the adults will make it happen!"

The author has something to say: Ermao: Oh, the baby you fancy doesn't care about our family.
