Northern Dynasties

In the early morning, when Duguxin woke up, he only felt a drowsy, dull pain in his head. After the hangover, he was listless and exhausted, and felt more and more that his body had lost its youthful vigor.Back then, he drank happily for days and didn't feel tired, but now he can't.

The maid in the room carefully dressed and washed, and asked if he would like to eat, but he still lacked appetite at the moment, so he waved his hand and refused, and walked slowly to the front hall, only to find out that Yang Zhong, who stayed overnight last night, had left.

Hearing this, Dugu felt even more depressed.In the past years, the status was not obvious, but there were also comrades, relatives and friends who accompanied each other day and night and encouraged each other to make progress together. Now it can be said that they have achieved success and fame, but they know each other gradually, get together less and leave more.

Usually, he would not have such boring and sad feelings, but today he was affected by the hangover, and he had to make a decision to bow to reality, so it was inevitable that he would have some sad thoughts.

He ordered his subordinates to prepare some time-consuming materials and send them to Yang Zhong's mansion to fill his luggage, but he didn't want to see him off in person.A slightly lazy mood is not suitable for receiving guests. After sitting in the middle hall for a while, he returned to the inner hall. Taking advantage of the rare leisure time, he summoned the children and inspected the upbringing of these children.

During the reign of Yongxi, Duguxin abandoned his wife and son to follow Xiaowu and moved westward. Before he knew it, it had been more than ten years.Up to now, I have a family and a business in Kansai, and I have many children.

Although he stays outside all the year round and doesn't stay at home for a long time, the housewife Cui's virtuous wife also raises the children gracefully. Although there is no lack of young and stubborn attitudes, she carefully restrains herself in front of her father.

The oldest, Dugushan, was already eight years old. After receiving a few words of encouragement from his father, he became active, and his face was full of excitement to show his father the skills of riding and shooting.

Duguxin saw his son riding a pony with the support of the slaves on the left and right, Zhang Yin Xiaogong looked decent, although there was a smile on his face, but he sighed in his heart.

Over the past few years, he traveled north and south, and although he is now in a strong position, he still has a strong sense of urgency.Seeing that there is no long-term household in the family, even though he can still be called the heyday of spring and autumn, he still feels that the current prosperity and wealth are a bit illusory and unreal.

Putting aside the considerations of various powers, when Daxingtai proposed to marry with other families, Duguxin was also very happy.Both of them are families of the townspeople, they have a close personal relationship in the past, and they can help each other in terms of status.

But Daxingtai has too many occasions and opportunities to bring up this topic, but he chooses such a scene, which makes Duguxin feel that mutual friendship is underestimated, and Daxingtai's scheming is too strong, so he no longer regards himself as an old man. A friend, but a subordinate or pawn who must obey his words.

It's not that he is pretentious, thinking that he can stand up to Daxingtai, and he is full of admiration for Daxingtai's internal and external healing skills in his heart.

But as an old friend who has known each other for many years, I hope you can show some understanding to me and try to make things more thoughtful when discussing the issue of deepening our relationship, such as the marriage of children. This is not too much to ask. …

But from the very beginning, you regarded me as a person with both ends and intentions to make ends meet, and you ran and threatened me. Whether it is me, the friendship between each other, or the status I have today, I am not worthy of you using a more gentle approach. method?

Of course, from the point of view of the general situation, Duguxin can also understand Yuwentai's approach.The great defeat in the ninth year of Datong not only caused a huge loss of national power, but also made the surrounding forces worse.

Tuyuhun, who was far away in the west, and Rouran, the old overlord in Mobei, all married with the Eastern Dynasty this year, making the situation around the court extremely bad, even worse than in the early years of Datong.

After more than two years of recuperation, although middle school politics has improved slightly, it cannot withstand too intense internal disputes.Daxingtai urgently needs to strengthen its internal integration and authority, and it is inevitable that it will be a little impatient and incomprehensible in doing things.

Rational approval does not mean emotional acceptance. Although Duguxin has decided to endure for the country, he still has the idea of ​​a little revenge in his heart.

Seeing the children playing in front of the hall, Dugu's confidence was shaken again, he raised his hand and called his family and told him: "It's rare for the family to gather here, go to the neighbor's house and welcome the lady back, don't let her suffer loneliness."

Not long after, under the guidance of several servants, Mrs. Miaoyin was admitted to the hospital.The boys and girls playing in the hall were all very excited when they saw the elder sister coming, and greeted them warmly, "Sister, sister" and said nothing.

Dugu Xin also stood in the corridor outside the hall, looking at his eldest lady from a distance.When he returned home this time, father and daughter hadn't had a chance to meet each other.

I haven't seen her for a few months, and I saw that this lady has grown a head taller than last year, and her figure is even taller and slimmer. She is wearing a moon-white long skirt, which sets off the elegance and beauty of the lady. Covering the upper body, it reveals a bit of wildness and liveliness.

This outfit seems a bit nondescript, but the beautiful woman has picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and at first glance, she only feels beautiful and pleasing, which makes people ignore the rest.Standing among the immature siblings, he seemed to stand out from the crowd.

Probably because of being reprimanded by her father before, coupled with the more than a year of living alone and cultivating nature, this little lady has lost a lot of the irritability of the old years, and her demeanor has also become a bit more elegant and quiet. First, she dealt with each of them patiently. After the warm welcome from the brothers and sisters in the household, he walked lightly to Dugu Xin, bowed his body and whispered softly: "Aye, I'm back."

Dugu Xin looked at the lady up and down, his expression was quite happy and satisfied, and he couldn't help but sighed: "I haven't seen you in a short time, but I don't know that my lady has such a beautiful posture! With this Qiongzhi growing in the garden, the lintel can Doesn’t add brilliance? The character is like this, so there is no need to rely on the power of the family, what can’t be matched!”

Father and daughter usually get together less and leave more, and it is rare for Mrs. Miaoyin to hear her father praise him so much. After hearing this, she felt happy and a little bit ashamed, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help grinning, and she quickly raised her hand to cover her lips, only lightly He said with a smile: "Aye kind of boast, but I am ashamed. I am just like this, which part is not given by my parents?"

Dugu Xin laughed even more after hearing the words. He was waiting to learn that he raised his hand in previous years and wanted to hold the girl's wrist, but he stopped halfway. Said: "Let's go to the court to play, don't come to disturb my father and daughter gossip."  …

The father and daughter sat down in the hall, and Mrs. Miaoyin frowned and sniffed lightly, then frowned again and said, "Aye wants to drink too much again, and he is still drunk. I have learned a few new soups to sober up and warm the stomach. Aye wants Don't try it?"

Dugu Xin was even more delighted when he heard this, sat in the table and rubbed his hands repeatedly and said: "Little lady really impresses people, how could she be so considerate in previous years! My wife already knows how to serve her parents, that's for sure Have a taste!"

After hearing the words, Mrs. Miaoyin also beamed with smiles, impatient to show off the women's skills she had learned recently in front of Aye, raised her hand and ordered the servants to prepare some food, and then washed the orange peel and soaked in water beside the small stove in the hall. Mung beans were sent out, and there was an orderly vegetarian spoon.

"I'm just a new learner. If the taste is not good, Aye will lightly laugh at it."

A bowl of hot soup was served, and Mrs. Miaoyin handed it to her father, and said with some lack of confidence.

"Beautiful, beautiful in color and fragrance, how can it not be beautiful!"

Before Dugu Xin could taste it, he praised it first, picked up the hot soup and blew a few breaths, and after taking a sip, his brows and eyes widened, but soon his face sank, and he snorted coldly: "My wife will be honored when she enters the world. Why do you need to make the cooking spoon yourself? After learning this boring femininity, it will only benefit some small thief!"

As soon as he thought of this, the soup in his mouth suddenly lost all taste, Dugu Xin put down the porcelain bowl with a depressed face, and the happiness just now was no longer there.

Seeing Aye's sudden turn of events, Mrs. Miaoyin couldn't help being a little nervous, and quickly whispered: "Aye doesn't like me doing these things, so I won't do them anymore..."

"Don't do your business. I like my wife and wife's achievements. It's hard to let go when I think that I will inevitably live elsewhere in the coming year."

Dugu Xin sighed first, then comforted the little lady in a warm voice.

After hearing the words, Mrs. Miaoyin frowned and said: "I don't know what year it will be in the coming year. I have been supported by my parents, so I have some insight into the rewards of serving. I haven't repaid my kindness enough, and I am not willing to go to other families to worship. Unknown Weng Gu! As long as Aye doesn't tire of chasing me, I will stay in my house all year round!"

"I just said that your lady is a beautiful adult, why are you talking stupid again? Although it is reluctant to give up, no family raises a woman to be a servant and envoy. After all, you have to leave the other family."

After Dugu Xin heard the words, he sighed again, he was not a person who sticks to the love of his children, but the little lady in front of him gave him many surprises when he reunited, and he had a plan in his heart, so he felt it.

Seeing the little girl sweating slightly from her nose, he pointed to the brocade half arm on her body and said, "After the summer heat, there will still be autumn heat. Even if you love beauty, you must dress appropriately. Sudden cold and sudden warm , not a state of keeping in good health."

After the little lady heard the words, she felt a little coy and uncomfortable. She raised her hand to caress the lapel of the tiger skin but refused to take it off. She just said: "The treasures that the old master got by chance, I sent them here with courtesy, but I am rude. I don’t know where to use it, but wearing it will not damage the friendship of this gift.”

After Dugu Xin heard this, he closed his mouth, lowered his head and picked up the hot soup and took a sip, but his hot tongue flicked repeatedly, and he took a long time to get the taste: "A little fur of a wild animal is not a treasure. Many brave soldiers in my tent are capable of fighting bears, tigers, and leopards, but there are only a few people with great experience who often brag about such deeds, just laughing at the Fang family!"

"Aye, have you ever fought a tiger or a bear?"

Hearing this, the little lady hurriedly opened her eyes and asked curiously: "Is it dangerous? If it's just an ordinary thing, that's fine. If it's too dangerous, I want to persuade people, Aye, not to always do dangerous things!"

After Dugu Xin heard the words, his expression froze for a moment, and he waved his hands after a while and said, "What nonsense, you are commanding thousands of troops, and your actions are related to the safety of the country. Only the people under the tent can do what they want, and the opponents are all enemies. Beast, why bother to hunt it yourself!"

The little lady's emphasis was different from what her father emphasized. After hearing the words, she nodded thoughtfully and said: "It turns out that Aye is also in command of thousands of troops. This is really the most majestic general..."
