Chapter 55 Five Years (please read and recommend)

Time passes slowly, and several spring and autumn years pass by in a daze,

Bianjing,

The prosperous family in Jiying Lane,
  In the book school,

It's not time to study yet, Zhuang Xuexuan hasn't arrived yet,

Only Sheng Changbai and Qi Heng, the legitimate son of Duke of Qi who was studying in the Sheng family, were chatting.
  Suddenly Sheng Changbai hurried in and shouted excitedly:

"Big news, big news, Zhou Xia officially negotiated peace, Xixia canceled the imperial title, re-claimed vassal status, and paid tribute to the court! How happy!"

Sheng Changbai and Qi Heng also stood up and said excitedly after hearing this:

"Really! That's great, the Northwest Army is so strong, it's obvious!"

"It's really great news for the country. The Xixia child has finally been beaten painfully!"

"Yes, yes, the Northwest Army has made many achievements in the past few years, and finally defeated Xixia!"

Suddenly, Qi Heng said with some regret:
  "It's a pity that I haven't done all my work. It would be great if I could wipe out Xixia in one go this time! Then I will have no worries in the northwest!"

Sheng Changfeng was originally very excited, but when he heard what Qi Heng said, he immediately turned his gun and echoed,

"That's right. I don't know what the officials and princes think. The Northwest Army is fighting well, but they suddenly want to negotiate for peace!"

"Be careful!" Sheng Changbai glared at Sheng Changfeng, then looked at Qi Heng and said:

"Officials and ministers naturally have other considerations. I heard that Daliao in the north is also deploying troops on the border. Perhaps they are afraid that Liao and Xia will join forces and start a war between the two sides, so they negotiated peace with Xixia!"

"Brother Zecheng is right. The Liao Kingdom is also afraid of death. If there is no Xixia to contain it, our government can fully deal with the Liao Kingdom. It is impossible to say that the Sixteenth State of Yanyun will return to the embrace of the Zhou Dynasty. The hateful Liao Kingdom, It’s really hateful to have a foot in the game at a critical moment!”

"Yuan Ruo is right, but I have made a powerful move towards the northwest this time. I think Liaoxia will not dare to invade the territory within a hundred years. Our Great Zhou has a vast territory and rich resources. We only need to develop quietly and wait for the opportunity to regain Yanyun Sixteenth in the future. State is just around the corner!”

Sheng Changfeng saw Qi Heng nodding in admiration after hearing Sheng Changbai's words, and felt a little unhappy that he had been robbed of the limelight.

He immediately thought of another piece of news and quickly said:

"Young Master, second brother, I heard that the Xu family brother is coming back this time. Speaking of which, I haven't seen him since we left Yangzhou five years ago!"

Sheng Changbai was very surprised when he heard this and grabbed Sheng Changfeng's arm.
  "Seriously? Bo Sheng is coming back this time too? Oh, that's great. Chang Feng, have you found out the specific time? When will you come back? When Bo Sheng comes back, I will greet him personally!"

"I don't know the specific time, but I heard that the officials have issued an order to recruit Xu's brother back to Beijing.
  The Xu family, led by the Xu family brother, has gained a lot of prestige in the northwest in recent years. They will definitely be rewarded when they come back. Big brother, hehe, you have a good relationship with the Xu family brother. You have to take me to visit you when the time comes. ! "

Speaking of the latter part, Sheng Changfeng looked at Sheng Changbai with a flattering expression.
  Sheng Changbai was a little speechless when he saw this. Because of Lin Xiaoniang's incident, Sheng Changfeng secretly cursed Xu Wenhui a lot. Why are they so close now... But on this happy day, he was too lazy to preach.
  "When I said goodbye to Yangzhou, I missed Bo Sheng very much!"

Qi Heng didn't know what the two Sheng brothers were thinking, so he interjected:
  "Although Xu Wenhui was very brave, he led a group of Xu family generals who also had great achievements in the northwest.
  But I think the character is a bit narrow-minded. At the Jinmingchi Polo Club, in front of so many wealthy families, he directly threw a weak woman into the lake, causing the Li family's sister to lose face. , it’s really too much…”

After Qi Heng finished speaking, he suddenly felt a little cold.
  One was born in a public house, and the other was born in a marquis house. Sheng Changfeng did not dare to offend either of them.
  Sheng Changbai was unwilling to speak ill of his friends. He was actually confused about what happened back then. However, the Xu family and Li family were unwilling to say more about what happened back then, and he couldn't ask too many questions.

After Qi Heng said this, he actually regretted it. Ordinarily, he and Xu Wenhui were not close to each other, but for some reason, he felt a little uncomfortable when he heard the news about Xu Wenhui.
  Fortunately, at this time, the sounds of warblers and swallows came from outside,

The three girls from the Sheng family walked in with their maids, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

"Greetings, big brother!"

"Greetings to Third Brother!"

"Greetings to the young master!"

After a brief exchange of greetings, Mo Lan couldn't wait to look at Qi Heng.
  "Young Master, what were you guys talking about just now? From a distance, we heard some faint exclamations in the study! But what's the good news? Come on and listen to me!"

When Qi Heng heard this, he glanced at Ming Lan first and saw that she was not as enthusiastic as Mo Lan, and he was a little disappointed. However, his good upbringing still made him smile warmly. He looked at Mo Lan and said:
  "There is some great news. The Great Zhou Dynasty approved Xixia's peace request, and the border that had been war-torn for decades finally settled down!"

The three Lans were very excited when they heard this, especially Ru Lan, who immediately said happily:

"Doesn't that mean there is no war? Should the eldest brother-in-law come back? It's true that the eldest brother-in-law left my eldest sister behind and ran to the northwest alone. He didn't know how difficult my eldest sister's life was in their home! "

In the past two years, Xu Wenhui led a group of Xu family generals to gain prestige in the northwest, and Yuan Wenshao also joined him.

His eldest brother Yuan Wenchun didn't know why, but after a trip to Yangzhou, he contracted the cold and ended up suffering from the same disease as Gu Tingyu of the Gu family.

But unlike Gu Tingyu’s low-key and forbearance,
  Yuan Wenchun gradually became irritable and lost his temper. The most important thing was that he was also suspicious.

One moment he said someone was trying to harm him, the next moment he said someone was coveting his title.

Yuan Wenshao was very embarrassed in the family. After all, who was most likely to peek into the Yuan family's title, it could only be him, the second son.
  So firstly, it is to show that one is far away from the disputes at home, and secondly, it can also be used to build a career and have a wife and son.
  Yuan Wenshao went to the northwest to join Xu Wenhui.
  But as soon as Yuan Wenshao left, some pressure from the family was put on Sheng Hualan.
  Sheng Hualan had a very unhappy life in the Yuan family.

Rulan and Hualan are biological sisters and have a very good relationship, so when they heard that the northwest was settled, they immediately thought of Yuan Wenshao!

Everyone present also knew the reason, but after all, it was related to the Yuan family's family affairs.
  It was hard to say it out loud, so Sheng Changbai frowned when he heard it.
  "Ru Lan, shut up! My eldest brother-in-law is guarding the border and protecting our family and country. How can you talk nonsense like this!"

Although Ru Lan is a little afraid of her elder brother Sheng Changbai, she feels more sorry for her elder sister Hua Lan. When she thinks of the injustice her elder sister has suffered in the Yuan family in the past two years, she can't stop talking.
  "What did I say wrong? That's what I said.
  The eldest sister's only support in the Yuan family is the eldest brother-in-law, but the eldest brother-in-law ran to the northwest by himself, and he made a great contribution. Have you ever thought about eldest sister! "
