Zhan Zhumen

Chapter 729
When they received Mu Yan's letter, both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were stunned.

At that time, Lao Hou led 30 troops to conquer southern Yunnan. After the southern Yunnan was pacified, Taizu ordered him to stay in Yunnan to guard it.Until his death, he never returned to the capital.Taizu heard the news of his death and ordered him to be buried in the General Mountain of the capital, so that he could be buried in the capital.

Back then, Lord Hou stayed in southern Yunnan. In order to show his loyalty to the royal family, he kept his four sons in Beijing as hostages, and his two wives also stayed in the ancestral house of the master in the capital.

Now Mu Yan was sent by Emperor Yongkang to quell the chaos in southern Yunnan. I don't know how long he will stay in southern Yunnan.It stands to reason that as the eldest son of the Duke of Guizhou, he should stay in southern Yunnan to assist Mu Sheng in managing the military, government and people's livelihood in southern Yunnan.

"Don't worry, Auntie. I'm afraid he wrote this letter in a hurry. He probably wrote it on the way before arriving at the Dian Mansion. Now everything is unclear, so let's not get confused and just wait for his news."

Huo Xi comforted Cheng Shi.

She knew Cheng's worries, and Cheng's heart felt sorry for her thinking of her experiences over the years.She is afraid that she and Mu Yantian will be on different sides, the world will change with time, and the former loving couple will become strangers.

Cheng was not comforted, but wiped away tears.

"You and I are both clan wives, and we both want to stay in the ancestral house of the capital." She has been a widow all her life, and she can't see her daughter-in-law going back to her old ways.

"Don't worry, Auntie. Ke Guan said that our mother and son will be there wherever he is. You don't have to worry about us. Uncle is in his prime, and the emperor probably won't send Ke Guan to stay as the assistant manager in southern Yunnan. I'm afraid he will return soon. Jing is reunited with us."

"How long is it? One year? Five years, or ten years? Our Mu family has governed that place in southern Yunnan for decades, but we still don't understand how it can be achieved overnight."

"He should just help put down the chaos, and when the border is stable, I'm afraid he should come back."

when was thatNow that the central government is discussing the matter of moving the capital, I am afraid that in order to prevent border disturbances, the emperor will send Yan'er to station in southern Yunnan.

Cheng was worried.

Seeing the love between her son and daughter-in-law every day, and the family of three living in harmony, she felt extremely happy.Huo Xi treats her filially, she already regards her as her own daughter, how can she see that they are husband and wife who are separated from each other.

"You, don't worry. If he needs to stay permanently in southern Yunnan, I will take Xiao Yuer to find him."

"Just talking nonsense. He is the eldest son, and he was sent to the capital by his biological father as a hostage. Now that Xiao Yu'er is his only son, I'm afraid he can't leave the capital."

The Mu family is different from other families.In charge of a province's military, government and people's livelihood, Mu Sheng has already stayed in southern Yunnan, and it is impossible to take the eldest son and grandson there.The emperor will not let them go with confidence.

If the daughter-in-law is not willing to part with Xiao Yuer, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the husband and wife to reunite.

"If Xiao Yuer can't leave the capital, then I can only ask you to work hard to help us take him. But I can't leave me, and I can't leave him. If we want us to be like you and uncle, I won't make peace. It's quiet."

Cheng was shocked, "Don't talk nonsense!" How can you see your son and daughter-in-law's loving husband and wife reconcile.

It's just that if the daughter-in-law is allowed to live as a widow for a lifetime like her, the husband and wife will not be able to see each other, and the concubine and concubine will step on the head, it is really not peaceful, but peaceful.If there is a chance to do it all over again, maybe she will have the same idea.

"You husband and wife have a good discussion, which is better than anything else. If Xiao Yuer can leave, you will take him to the south of Yunnan to reunite with Yan'er. If not, I will take Xiao Yuer to stay in the capital. He is my destiny." , our grandparents and grandchildren are just right for company.”

"You're right to think so. Don't worry, wait for him to settle down and see what he says. We'll discuss what to do when the time comes. Do you say marry a chicken and follow the chicken? Of course it's impressive. Where I am, and you don't want to Looking forward to having more grandchildren?"

"Why don't you look forward to it! I'm looking forward to you and He Meimei's giving me a few more grandchildren. At that time, you can just follow Guan Ke, Xiao Yuer has me. I will guard the ancestral house for you."

Because of Mu Yan's letter, both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were disturbed, and because of Huo Xi's enlightenment, Cheng was relieved a lot.

While waiting for Mu Yan's letter, at the end of August, Zhang Fu led his army back to Beijing in triumph.

After handing in the commander's seal, Zhang Fu and Nian'er returned home to reunite with their family members.Seeing his father and son returning safely, all the family members nodded in celebration.

The next day, before Zhang Fu had time to rest, he led his two sons and daughters to Liuhe Town.

Seeing you again after several years, seeing Nian'er who has grown into a man, Li Shimian and Ma Shi burst into tears, and the grandparents and grandchildren hugged each other and cried.

Zhang Fu knelt down in front of his parents-in-law and kowtowed to plead guilty.

Ma thought of her daughter who died young, and still couldn't let go of Zhang Fu.

"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, and two brothers-in-law, it was my fault that Rou'er passed away early because I didn't investigate. It's hard to make up for the past. My son-in-law is going to plead guilty, please father-in-law and mother-in-law punishment."

Li Dian accepted Li Dianzang, thinking that the whole family has gone through more than ten years, no matter how hard it is, they have survived, and there is no one missing in the family, but the younger sister who married into a wealthy family in the capital died early, and he was very depressed.

Mrs. Ma recalled that all the children and grandchildren of the family were safe and happy, and she was only pregnant with the only daughter born in October. It was difficult to even meet in a dream, so she turned and wiped away tears.

Li Shimian looked at the pair of grandchildren beside him, recalled the past, sighed, and stepped forward to help Zhang Fu up.

"The past is over, and what happened to Rou'er is not your fault at all. It is because she is not blessed that she cannot die with you. It is because of her poor fortune. Get up."

Zhang Fu didn't move, "Please punish my father-in-law. These years, my son-in-law often thinks of Rou'er, and his heart hurts, and he can't sleep at night. I look forward to seeing my parents-in-law, but I don't have the face to see you. Just go with Rou'er..."

Zhang Fu also shed tears.

When I saw her when I was young, I will never forget it.From time to time, he took the opportunity to wander around Li's house, just to see her.And from time to time, he went to the Imperial College to pester his father-in-law, just to get his approval and marry Rou'er to him...

On the wedding night, he slowly lifted her hijab, and saw her delicate face drooping, that shy and joyful appearance disturbed his heart, and he never forgot it.

Huo Nian looked at his father kneeling on the ground with tears in his eyes, he couldn't bear it, he glanced at Huo Xi, but was restrained by Huo Xi's eyes.

The two brothers and sisters went out of the hall, leaving the Weng and his son-in-law to talk in the hall.

"elder sister……"

Huo Xi looked at the small boats moored on the small pier of Zhuangzi, saw them rippling slightly in the clear waves of the river, and was fascinated.

"You haven't seen your mother, so I don't know how good she is. She is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is humble and courteous, respectful and gentle, always smiling, and everyone in the house likes her. People in Beijing still remember her , and praised her as a model woman..."

These years, Huo Xi still couldn't let go of her mother who died young.

But she didn't want to force these things to Nian'er.He is different from her.

"Fortunately, my father is a good person. From now on, you should listen to your father more and learn more from him. Only when you grow up will you be able to comfort your mother. In the future, when you have free time, you should often visit your grandparents and do your mother's filial piety."

"Yes. Nian'er wrote it down."
