Chapter 315 Homecoming
As a county, Jiuyuan has a vast territory, but not the entire county is a horse farm.

Only the southern plain is one of the three great racecourses in the empire.

It was already the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the inside and outside of the racecourse were covered with thick snow.When you step down, you can go deep into your knees.

The snow was too heavy and it was difficult to move forward.

The vanguard battalion began to find a place to station, and waited for the main force of the army behind.

Ren Ning granted Xiao Gang a family leave, spent a few more days dealing with the affairs, and quietly left Jiuyuan Racecourse.

The three major racecourses have always been the places where the nobles of Xingji City like to visit, so the roads to and from the post are not bad.

Ren Ning hurried and hurried, and finally returned to his home on the night of the 28th of the twelfth lunar month.

Everything remains the same in the house.

Ying Pan and his adopted sister Miao Dong were looking through the ledger and checking the New Year's gifts for relatives and friends in various prefectures.

Jixiang was talking about the rumors in the streets and alleys outside.

"I heard that the Xingluo Legion has moved to Yumu County in the north. Yumu is much closer to Xingji City than Guangxin in the south. Ma'am, maybe the general will come back to visit relatives next summer..."

Miao Xia followed Xingluo's veterans and guards to inspect the situation throughout the mansion.

Even when Ren Ning came in over the wall, he almost got into a fight with them.

"it's me!"

"Brother?" Miao Xia put away the spear in her hand in surprise and joy, "How did you climb over the wall..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he quickly reacted and stopped in time.

"I'll go to the study and tell my sister-in-law that you're back."

After speaking, he ran away without a trace.

Main courtyard, study.

"Really?" Yingpan who got the news still couldn't believe it, she lowered her voice: "Your brother is really back?"

"Really." Miao Xia nodded frantically, "Brother is right behind."

Yingpan sat there for a long time before he dared to believe it.

She thought for a while, and her voice was a little harsh.

"Immediately notify the guards and veterans. During the few days of Chinese New Year, everyone can eat and drink as much as they like. But without permission, no servants or servants are allowed to enter or leave the general's mansion."

"If there is any violation, there will be no punishment!"

Although all the servants in the general's mansion have been checked by the Xingluo veterans.

But Ren Ning has a special status, he is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

"Yes!" Miao Xia turned and left without saying a word.

Ying hoped to look at Ji Xiang and Miao Dong next to her, and said with a gentler tone, "If you two go out to play during Chinese New Year, remember to keep your mouths in check."

"Understood." The two of them knew how powerful they were, so they nodded quickly.

squeak.

The study door opened.

Ren Ning walked in with a smile.

laugh!
Although they were prepared in their hearts, the three people in the study were still taken aback.

"Brother/General, you guys talk slowly, let's go see if Xiao Yezuo is ready."

Ji Xiang and Miao Dong left the study room wisely.

The two were speechless.

After a while, Ren Ning finally said, "I'm back."

"Just come back!" Yingpan's eyes turned red unknowingly.

She looked her husband up and down, "It's cold outside, why do you wear so little? Doesn't Xingluo have enough cotton clothes..."

Ren Ning just smiled without making a sound, and stretched out his hand to pull Fa's wife over and hug her.

The General's Mansion has so much money that his feet are flooded, and he also drew a floor heating map before returning.

Therefore, each master's room now has floor heating.

It's hot everywhere, not cold at all.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a coughing sound outside.

Miao Dong's voice came in weakly.

"Brother, sister-in-law, Second Brother Xiao is visiting. And Xiao Ye is ready!"

"Xiao Gang, did he come back with you?" Yingpan was very upset, "In the middle of the night, his wife is about to give birth. Why are you hanging out at this time?"

Really ignorant.

Ren Ning couldn't help laughing: "Xiao Gang asked for leave to visit relatives, and it is inconvenient for us to go together. He is coming to the door now, and he should be sending Zhuifeng back."

When entering Xingji City, Ren Ning used other methods, and there was no way to bring such a tall horse like Zhuifeng, so he had to temporarily hand it over to Xiao Gang.

Yingpan suddenly realized, his face looked much better.

"Chasing the wind. Is it okay? I haven't seen it for a long time."

Generally speaking, the chances of a war horse being injured on the battlefield are higher than that of its owner.

Shooting people first shoots horses is by no means empty talk.

Ren Ning shook his head, "No. We are chasing after the wind."

"That's good. I'll have someone prepare good fodder for it."

Sure enough, after Xiao Gang returned the dark horse to Ren Ning, he hurried home without saying a few words.

After eating Xiaoye, the night is deep,

Yingpan stroked the numerous scars on her husband's body, "Sister Liu, sister Liu is only one year older than me, and her child is about to be born now. How about..."

"Why don't we make one quickly? So as not to be bullied by his kid in the future."

"Concubine body is exactly what it means!"

At noon the next day, the two masters didn't get up for a long time.

Jixiang bit the bullet and knocked on the door.

"Madam, Mrs. Zheng Guogong Shizi and Mrs. Zhongyong both sent people over to ask if you want to go to the porridge together."

Under the eyelids of the emperor, there are no refugees in Xingji City, but there are patches of refugees outside the city.

Usually they can also work on the side of the wharf post road, such as moving goods and pulling fibers.

Since the heavy snowfall in winter, the activities outside the city have decreased a lot.

The livelihood of many refugees and even ordinary people has become unsustainable.

Therefore, in recent years, several housewives in Yong'an Hutong will go out to give porridge from time to time.

One is to give the refugees a way of life, and the other is to accumulate blessings for the husband or son who is fighting abroad.

Reluctantly, Yingpan got up anyway.

"Go. Let Mrs. Shizi and Mrs. Uncle wait for a while. I will come right away."

Ren Ning felt distressed, "If you are tired, let Miao Xia go for you."

After a few years, the dying little girl in Laigu County has become generous now, and she can help Yingpan occasionally.

Yingpan pondered for a while, but still shook his head.

"No."

"It doesn't cost a lot of money to give out porridge, but there are still many mansions that don't like it. They say something ugly. For example, we are alarmist, buying people's hearts and so on..."

"Bah!" Yingpan scolded, "Nonsense."

"And the entire Xingji City has a lot of eyeliners. In the past, I, Mrs. Shizi and Mrs. Uncle came forward to host, but now it is suddenly replaced by the righteous sister, which may attract the attention of some interested people."

"One more thing is worse than one less thing. I'll go out for a while."

Anyway, it is the servants of the various prefectures who work.These masters just showed up to see, and it didn't take much effort.

"Go, go." Ren Ning stretched, "I'll get up and check Miao Xia's martial arts."

"By the way." Yingpan stopped suddenly, "There may be one more person when the porridge is served later."

"Who?" Ren Ning asked casually.

Yingpan's tone was a bit strange, "Miss Li from Guangxin County."

"Li Hezhu?"

Ren Ning's heart moved, "She went north with our army. Where does she live now?"

In the past, when Li Hezhu came to Xingji City, he always lived in their mansion.

No one seems to be in sight now.

Yingpan nodded.

Li Hezhu told her about it.

"Miss Li also bought a house in Xingji City, which is quite far away, on the side of Xingningfang. Now that Sister Liu is about to give birth, she lives in Uncle Zhongyong's mansion next door."

"En." Ren Fei nodded.

"Does she know you're back?" Yingpan asked.

cough cough.

Ren Ning's scalp was numb when she looked at her, "How is it possible! I came back secretly. And I don't know her well!"

"Really?" Yingpan was noncommittal, "Should I ask her to come over after serving the porridge?"

"This is your woman's business, why do you ask me?" Ren Ning stepped out of the room, "Miao Xia..."
