Wen stared blankly at Lu Junqing, only felt a chill from the outside to the inside, soaking into the bones, and the whole body was cold and still, unable to say a word for a long time.

Lu Junqing's eyes slowly swept across Wen's face, a trace of helplessness and wry smile flashed in his eyes, and he didn't say any more, put down his teacup, and went out of the room.

Grandma Sun, who was waiting outside, hurriedly knelt towards Lu Junqing, sent him out, and entered the inner room with trepidation.

Seeing Mrs. Wen sitting on the kang, her sunken eyes staring motionlessly at the smoking teacup on the table, her whole body filled with dead silence, Nanny Sun's heart skipped a beat, her feet softened, and she cried out: " young lady?"

Wen's rolled her eyes stiffly and looked at Nanny Sun, as if she hadn't recovered, her lips twitched, her face was pale, and she couldn't make a sound at all.

Grandma Sun panicked, her heart fluttered, she rushed over and hugged Wen's arm reluctantly, and said in a trembling voice: "Young Madam, want to be more open, Master..." Grandma Sun paused for a moment Seeing that Wen's eyes suddenly filled with layers of resentment and sadness, his heart sank immediately, and he changed the subject in a hurry, "The people in the kitchen brought food over, young madam, let's eat some food first."

Wen stared blankly at Nanny Sun, tears gradually welled up in his eyes, it took a long time to suddenly regain his senses, and wept silently while holding Nanny Sun, his voice was choked with indescribable grievances and resentment : "Mommy, he wants to take a concubine and drive me away..."

Grandma Sun's heart suddenly turned cold, her head was buzzing, she opened her mouth to persuade, but she didn't know how to persuade her, she also shed tears.Holding Wen with trembling hands, his face was icy cold.

Early the next morning, the news that Lu Junqing wanted to accept someone and let the Wen family go to Annan City spread to the newly bought house of the Wen family.

Wen Guogong was furious and angry again. In a fit of anger, he kicked over the chair next to him, gasped heavily, blushed, and directly scolded Second Master Wen.

Second Master Wen listened to Wen Guogong's scolding in a daze, with surprise and doubt on his face.He just went to Beirongyuan yesterday.I didn't even hear a word from my brother-in-law, why did such news spread today?

"Go find Lu Junqing! I want to ask him, how did he treat my Wen family members!" Wen Guogong shouted at Second Master Wen angrily, "If my Wen family has lost power, will he be ungrateful?"

Second Master Wen's eyes widened in astonishment, and he looked at Duke Wen in disbelief.He hesitated and said, "How can this be... ungrateful?" The Wen family has never been kind to the Lu family and brother-in-law.Besides, it's not a big deal for a man to take a concubine, so why does it involve ungratefulness?

Wen Guogong looked at Second Master Wen angrily, his beard was shaking and he was about to curse.In the courtyard, Steward Wen Da had already brought Lu Junqing in with trepidation, and looked at Duke Wen and Second Master Wen in the room with fear and worry.

Lu Junqing glanced at Wen Guogong calmly.His eyes were sharp. "Father-in-law is too temperamental!"

Wen Guogong pursed his lips, with blue veins popping out of his forehead, and stared fixedly at Lu Junqing, but gradually lost his momentum under Lu Junqing's cold eyes, averted his eyes, and snorted coldly in an unexpected tone: "Why is your son here?"

There was no fluctuation on Lu Junqing's face, and he looked at Wen Guogong ironically.With a smile on his face, he turned and nodded to Second Master Wen.The voice opened his mouth calmly: "Father-in-law is nearly sixty years old, and there are many children under his knees. It's time to take care of him. Such a ruckus is not good for father-in-law's body, nor for the Wen family. The Wen family has been prosperous in the capital for these years. Now put aside your edge and live in peace. The second brother also persuaded the father and the first brother."

What Lu Junqing said was unusual, she understood thoroughly, her voice was calm, but her tone was non-negotiable.Second Master Wen was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes, and when his gaze touched the disgust and sarcasm in Lu Junqing's eyes, his heart sank, his confused mind finally became clearer, and his face became a little more embarrassed, and he wanted to pull Lu Junqing, In the middle of the journey, he withdrew his hand again, and said with a dry smile: "Brother-in-law... the son-in-law, you are right. I will try to persuade my father and elder brother, the son-in-law don't worry, don't worry..."

Wen Guogong's face was blue with anger, his eyes were fixed on Lu Junqing and Wen Erye, his fingers trembling and he pointed at them, but he didn't speak for a long time.

Lu Junqing glanced at Wen Guogong indifferently, and left a sentence in a cold voice: "Father-in-law should also restrain his temper." After saying that, he turned and went out the door. He didn't need the steward Wen to lead the way, and went directly out of the courtyard around the corridor.

Second Master Wen looked at Lu Junqing's back, took a long time to slowly take a breath, swallowed, glanced at Wen Guogong in embarrassment and entanglement, then sighed, and persuaded: "Sister... what the son said is also reasonable , Father should take a break. Big brother—”

Just as Second Master Wen was halfway through his words, a young servant from outside stumbled in and replied out of breath, "Master, Second Master...uncle, you were... beaten!"

Second Master Wen's words stopped abruptly, he jumped up and grabbed the boy's arm and shouted, "What's going on?"

The young man swallowed his saliva, reluctantly let it go, and hurriedly replied: "Master...was drinking in Yicui Garden, and had an argument with the people in the building, so...the fight started."

Second Master Wen cursed sullenly, then let out a breath slowly, let go of the boy's arm, knowing that Uncle Wen was afraid that his colleagues would be jealous and cause trouble, when he thought of Lu Junqing's words, his heart suddenly turned cold, and his mind finally came to his senses He took a look at Wen Guogong, let out a sigh of relief, and before the blue-faced Wen Guogong could speak, he yelled at the boy: "Call some people, and drag the uncle back! Give me a crime, don't make trouble!" !"

The young man blinked blankly, and was stared at by Second Master Wen, who hurriedly responded, turned around and ran out.

"Hey, I can't blame my brother-in-law." Second Master Wen sat down on the chair, frowned and sighed helplessly, knowing that it must be Lu Junqing who couldn't see it, so he spread his hands helplessly at the old father, and his voice was a little more Feeling helpless, "I also want to go out less to drink. Hey, the Wen family is no different than before, my younger sister is skinny, and my brother-in-law is not easy..."

Wen Guogong was so angry that his beard trembled wildly, he didn't come up in one breath, and fell directly to the ground.Second Master Wen's expression changed, he jumped up and called someone, and hurriedly helped Duke Wen up.I hurried to call the doctor again.In such a commotion, Duke Wen suffered a stroke and was bedridden. Uncle Wen's leg was broken, so he was no longer able to go out to search for flowers and ask willows, so he had to lie on the bed to recuperate.

Mrs. Gu was so frightened that she kept wiping away her tears, but she couldn't help begging Wen's again.Second Master Wen frowned and instructed all the servants in the yard, and went to Beirongyuan to persuade Wen's once.After all, the Wen family fell silent.

In March, Weiyuan City is getting more and more spring.It's warm everywhere in the north.There are many tourists in the outskirts, and there are many busy figures in the fields - Longchuan Mansion is full of lively and warm spring scenery.

However, there was an unusual dead silence in Tianhe City. The spring outside the city seemed to be blocked by the thick gate, and it did not spread into the city at all.

Northern Yan Lord General Yuchi Jingde stayed in Tianhe City for more than a month, but was finally invited back by the court envoy himself, and the Northern Yan Zhaohe emperor's close minister Kechadan succeeded Yuchi Jingde.Along with Kechadan, Zongzheng Wenyuan, Prime Minister of Northern Yan, also came to Tianhe City.This group of people came to discuss peace with the Lu family.

On the other side of Tianhe City, the Weimeng Grassland is also gloomy and depressing, and under this dullness, there is a little restlessness - Weimeng Khan died of serious injuries, the eight tribes of the grassland have no leader, and the remaining seven tribes are about to move. One eye aimed at Tianhe City.The other eye was aimed at the Weimeng Grassland.

On the sixth day of March, Zongzheng Wenyuan and his party entered Weiyuan City.The onlookers along the way were stopped by the yamen servants at the gate of the yamen.Finally, he didn't rush up to make trouble, just cursed a few words angrily, and watched Beiyan's envoys enter Deyuan Building.

On the eighth day of March, the prefect of Longchuan prefecture held a banquet in Deyuan Building to welcome Zongzheng Wenyuan.On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the King of Xining personally interviewed the envoys of Beiyan.

The peace talks lasted until the end of March, and it was agreed that Beiyan Tianhe City would be assigned to Longchuan Mansion, and Beiyan would send some cattle, sheep and horses to Dingbei Road.Count as an apology.

On March 26, Beiyan and his party left Weiyuan City in a hurry.Then Meng Wende led an army of [-] into Tianhe City, and the two sides quickly handed over the place. Kechadan took the remaining [-] remnants of Tianhe City and retreated to Jiahe City, which is adjacent to Tianhe City, and guarded it.

The Eight Parts of the Grassland were stunned, and the Khans of the Seven Parts failed to negotiate. In addition, Tianhe City had melted ice, which was not conducive to marching, and the spring was thick, the grass was long and eagles were flying, and it was time to start grazing on the grassland, so they had to abandon Tianhe City. , retreated to Yuanjiang.

Seeing that all parties have withdrawn their troops, the fighting has ceased, and at the turn of spring and summer, everywhere is full of vitality. Longchuan Mansion, Dingbei Road and Hepingliang Mansion are crowded and bustling, and it is even more lively than in previous years.From the port of Liancheng, sea ships came over every now and then, loaded with all kinds of strange objects, and it was very lively.

Most of the academies in Weiyuan City and Yong'an City were completed, and Han Si occasionally went to urge the workers, and hosted a few literary meetings near the academies along the way.Before the academy was completed, its reputation spread.

Shi Er hurriedly ran to various places in Pingliang Mansion several times, and personally invited a few great Confucian scholars who were idle at home.By the way, he took care of the college's expenses, and discussed with Zhao Dalang to build a few streets outside the college, and then went back to Lin Wan, and got Lin Wan's permission to start work.

Merchants traveling from south to north rushed to the two academies for their profits, and scholars who traveled everywhere were also a little more curious, thinking of going to the north to have a look.

Different from the bustling and prosperous north, from the capital to the south, there is a tense situation. The new dynasty in the capital is fighting against the south.The new emperor holds the imperial edict written by the famous emperor in his hand, which is justified.The third prince who ascended the throne in the south, but with Wu Yan's support, holds an army of [-] in his hand, full of confidence.

The two sides were at loggerheads, blaming each other, and small battles continued in southern Shonan.The people complained about practicing, but they couldn't do anything, so they had to pick up some things and hide in the north, south, east and west.Many people fled to the south, and some fled to the north. Many people went to Longchuan Mansion directly from the southern border.

The days quickly slipped into August, the autumn was crisp, Weiyuan City was still bustling, and the outside of the city was golden and splendid. Farmers who had harvested a good harvest entered the city with smiles, wandering around dazzledly, choosing what to buy.

The remaining heat of summer is still baking the ground, and the sun is shining brightly, adding a layer of warmth.The Beirong Courtyard was very quiet, and the maids and women were all busy with the men in their hands in an orderly manner.

In the main courtyard, Lin Wan took a nap, and was walking slowly under the shade of the trees in the courtyard under the arms of Lu Junzhao. The tip of his nose was soaked in a layer of fine sweat, and he felt his feet were swollen, and he stepped on the ground. But I always feel powerless.

Lu Junzhao's whole body tensed up, and he kissed Lin Wan's wet nose with distress, his brows furrowed, "Ah Wan, let's go back to the house and have a rest? I'll rub your feet for you..."

Panting, Lin Wan gave Lu Junzhao an angry look, her cheeks were rounded and rosy, looking like the peach blossoms in March, and it was reflected in Lu Junzhao's heart.

Lin Wan shook her head, leaned on Lu Junzhao wearily, glanced at Ge Sanniang who was sitting beside her, pulled Lu Junzhao with a smile, and said, "I have to walk around again, how long will it be now?" It’s fine to walk around. Didn’t you see that Sanniang is still watching there? You can’t do it until you finish walking! Just let me lean on...” Lin Wan’s voice was sweet and soft, and her fingers gently pinched Lu Junzhao’s hand, the voice unconsciously contained a bit of dependence and tenderness.

Lu Junzhao's heart turned into a puddle of water, and he quickly wrapped Lin Wan into his arms, letting Lin Wan lean half of his body on his body, carefully protecting Lin Wan's stomach with one hand, and the two cuddled together slowly. After walking around slowly, he returned to the house. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
