I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 853

"Brother Hao!" Xia Ying hurriedly yelled, and she held down her son who was about to jump up, "I know you want to go to battle to kill the enemy and make contributions, but you shouldn't be so excited when you hear that there is a war at the border Ah! You are still young, now you only need to live your own life well and not add chaos to our country, that is enough."

"How is this enough? That's the northwest! The border! Something happened over there!" Gu Yuanhao stomped his feet anxiously.

His abnormal reaction aroused the attention of King Ning and others.

King Ning immediately smiled and said, "I can see that the second nephew is not only good at boxing and kicking, but also has a heart of loyalty to the country at a young age! In this case, I might as well tell you about the situation at the border .”

He waved to Gu Yuanhao, and Gu Yuanhao ran up to him.

Just listen to Ning Wangdao: "Actually, it's really late. As early as eight or nine years ago, the Yi people who bordered the northwest border of our Celestial Dynasty have been eager to move, looking for trouble again and again, and every now and then a small group of people crossed the border. They plundered the villages in the territory of our Celestial Dynasty. Later, they became more daring and came in groups, non-stop for a whole month! Just five years ago, they took advantage of the [-]th birthday of the general stationed at the border and the celebration of the whole army At this time, a surprise attack was launched in the middle of the night. Although our army resisted desperately and took back a lost city a month later, the people in this city have been slaughtered, and the money, food and grass in the city have also been looted. "

"Father was furious when he heard the news. He ordered the beheading of the generals, and then sent new generals. However, after so many years of fighting one after another, there were victories and losses in border wars, but the Yi people have not been wiped out so far. Instead, one One is getting more and more rampant. Therefore, the father is not less angry!"

Ha ha ha.

When Xia Ying heard the cause and effect, she couldn't stop a sneer in her heart.

In a critical border area, the generals of the handsome army let down their vigilance to celebrate their [-]th birthday, which led to the invasion of foreigners and the capture of the city.And this general didn't have a handsome army to resist desperately, otherwise he wouldn't be able to wait until he was ordered to be beheaded by the emperor!
This is not a good thing, but the person who was sent by the emperor later is not a thing!
It's been five years since the huge Celestial Dynasty fought against a small Yi tribe, yet none of them could defeat the opponent's arrogance.And such a general was not beheaded by the emperor again?
"Thinking about it, this general should have won several times, and also intercepted many rare treasures of the Yi people and sent them back to the capital to present to the emperor, right?" Gu Tuo said coldly.

"Indeed." King Ning nodded, "And, he was recommended by Concubine Rui's natal family to Emperor Father."

"Ah."

Gu Tuo couldn't help sneering.

For a long time, he is a member of the Dong family, so it is no wonder that it is not good to lead the war for so many years. He can continue to be at ease at the border, and the court asks for money and food every year, and the court has to give it back!
In fact, at this point, King Ning himself felt a little embarrassed.He hurriedly said: "The northwest border is too far away. Only those who have been there know what the situation there is. Father can only know the general situation through the few battle reports sent back from the border. He is busy with state affairs, and he will know the situation." It's understandable to ignore it. But isn't the father-in-law already gone to the Ministry of War? The emperor trusts the father-in-law so much, I think the father-in-law will definitely not do anything!"

It was obvious that he didn't agree with what he said.

It's just that he was his own father after all, and he couldn't scold his own father in front of Xia Ying and his party, so he could only excuse his father with the cheek.

But how many people present are stupid?
Although everyone didn't say anything, their eyes were full of disapproval.

Seeing this, Lord Mao coughed lightly twice. "Okay, the affairs of the court have been discussed by the ministers in the court, you just came to the capital, and you were so busy yesterday, you must be tired now. You should not move these few days, just live in the palace, just right Wait until Xiao Shizi has been washed for the third time before moving out to prepare Brother Long's Chun Wei. Although I have only been in the capital for less than two months, I have already collected some information about Chun Wei, and I will hand it over to you when the time comes."

Different from the full moon wine catch week feast in Jiangbian Province, the custom in the capital city is to hold the three-year-old milk baby and a hundred-year-old banquet.That is to say, a banquet is held to celebrate when the baby is just three days old and one hundred days old.

That is to say, Mao Linglong's son was just born yesterday, and tomorrow the palace will have three wines to clean up!
In this case, it is of course better for Xia Ying's family to stay here.

Xia Ying had no objection to this.

King Ning also smiled and said: "Yes, my concubine has been talking about you, second sister, for so long, and now you are the benefactor who saved the lives of their mother and child. You must participate in the three feasts. Wait until concubine confinement is confinement, I will personally send you to a house near the examination institute—you don’t know, Concubine Ai knows that you are coming to see her in the capital, she is very happy. Not only did she clean up the guest room you are going to live in early in the palace After I came out, she also asked me to rent a house near the examination institute, so that I can study and prepare for the exam there when your family arrives!"

After getting married, Mao Linglong became more considerate and considerate.

A girl who used to be carefree, now starts to think about all kinds of preparations. I don't know if this is a blessing or a misfortune?

It must be lucky for outsiders, because this indicates that the girl has grown up and matured.But in Xia Ying's view, this means that Mao Linglong has completely transformed from a carefree little daughter to a woman who needs to take care of everything. This change of identity is not a good thing for most women.After all, who wouldn't want to be a carefree girl for the rest of her life?
But now that things have come to this, Xia Ying is still grateful for Mao Linglong's care for her.

"Originally, I also agreed with Sister Long that I would stay with her for a month." She said softly, "Sister Long is like this now, I don't feel at ease leaving her alone."

"That would be even better!" Master Mao nodded quickly.

Although he didn't care about the affairs in the back house, what happened to Mao Linglong yesterday still caused a cold sweat to break out on his back.

Now the daughter has managed to get out of the ghost gate, but her body is still severely damaged, and her little grandson is also very weak.At times like this, it would be best for Mao Linglong to be accompanied by someone who is trustworthy, responsible and able to communicate with her smoothly.

As for this candidate, who else could be besides Xia Ying?

Knowing that their family is still very exhausted, so now everyone just sat down and talked, and had lunch together, and the magistrate and his wife went back.

Xia Ying's family also returned to their guest room.

After entering the door, Gu Yuanhao immediately jumped up.
