After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 342
The war in the south of the Yangtze River has progressed relatively quickly since General Song took over.

At least, he has regained a lot of lost ground and dealt a heavy blow to those rioters.

The emperor was happy, and at the same time he issued an order to reward, he ordered General Song to strike while the iron was hot and recover the Jiangnan as soon as possible. Only in this way can Dazhi truly achieve peace and prosperity.

Jiangnan is a land of fish and rice.

If the people in the south of the Yangtze River cannot work steadily for a day, the great rule will not be peaceful for a day.

Jiangnan is rich and prosperous, and everyone in the world knows it.

If such a large money bag and granary have been controlled by those mobs, wouldn't it appear that the court is too incompetent?
This is also the reason why the emperor was furious after Yan Zhuowen failed many times before.

The imperial decree also mentioned some of General Song's previous invitations, and now they are all confirmed.

For example, the current Lu Daxiong is already a ranger general from official to fifth rank.

After only a few months in the military camp, he was able to be promoted so quickly. Apart from General Song's strong recommendation, the most important thing was Lu Daxiong's own contribution.

In several battles, Lu Daxiong directly beheaded the vanguard officer of the opponent directly. It would be strange if the emperor did not reward such credits.

It was also at this point that the emperor had a deep impression on this Lu Daxiong, er, no, it should be Lu Jianxiong, who indeed has some real skills.

Such a general was threatened by Yan Zhuowen, which was indeed a loss to the court.

By the end of the year, Chen Xingyan's belly was clearly showing.

Chen Xingyan basically didn't go out, and wandered around his house every day, mainly tinkering with the medicinal materials in the backyard.

In addition to going to the pharmacy to check the accounts and check the medicinal materials every month, the rest of the time is to raise the baby at home with peace of mind.

When Chen Youchang delivered medicine to Lu Daxiong earlier, he also brought him a letter.

When Lu Daxiong learned that he was going to be a father, he was so excited that he didn't fall asleep all night.

Because of this, Lu Daxiong felt that he was sorry for his little wife, and wrote to her almost every day when he was free.

Of course, this letter is not delivered every day.

But Lu Daxiong saved all his money, and every time he sent someone to send a thick pile of letters, those who didn't know thought he had written letters to many people.

After Chen Xingyan finished reading the letter sent back by the bodyguard this time, his heart was sweet, and there were still so many complaints.

After all, she is the one who is working hard with a big belly.

And the child's own father still doesn't know where the call has gone.

I don't know when this battle will be over, when will their family be reunited.

Because of Lu Daxiong's contacts in the southern war situation, the Chen family got the news about the southern war faster and more accurately.

Knowing that Fucheng will be pacified in about a year, the Chen family also began to feel uneasy.

After all, their ancestors have lived in Jiangnan for generations. Knowing that Jiangnan is hopeful, they naturally want to go back earlier.

However, neither Chen Ke nor the old man thought it was so fast.

In the study room, the atmosphere was a little depressing.

After Chen Sanye finished the news he had received, he said cautiously: "So far, the emperor has ordered Yanling King to assist General Song to quell the chaos, but it has been several days so far, and there has been no movement in the Yanling Palace. Wonderful."

Chen Ke also had a serious face. In Chen Xinglou's letter to him, he also asked him to wait and see for the time being, not to rush back to Jiangnan, and asked him to get in touch with Xingyan more and listen to her opinions.

The old man is old now, if he can go back to the south of the Yangtze River, he will naturally be the first to agree with both hands.

After all, fallen leaves return to their roots, and he feels that his life is approaching, so he must bury his bones in his hometown.

"What does Ke'er think?"

Chen Ke looked at the old man, then at his third brother, and finally shook his head.

"Father, let's take a look again. Not to mention that the Fucheng has not been completely recovered, and if it is recovered, what can we do if we return to Jiangnan? Now that there are hundreds of thousands of troops in Jiangnan, can our house be successfully taken over?" Come back? Also, if we go back, the basic necessities of life may be inconvenient."

Chen Sanye nodded and said: "Brother is right, even if Fucheng is recovered, it is still a mess, and everyone knows about our affairs with the Zhen family, who knows if there will still be some people who are not willing to give up. Do you want to attack us again?"

This is exactly what the old man was worried about.

Then, the study fell into silence again.

After a while, Chen Ke said again: "King Yanling hasn't moved for a long time, and I'm afraid he won't be safe. If there is another fight, it's really hard to say whether this city can still be defended."

The old man's face changed slightly, thinking that he had also met this Yanling King back then.

That is a ruthless character!
Things have come to this point, it is indeed unpredictable.

"Well, let's take a look first and then talk. Don't make preparations to return to Jiangnan for the time being."

"Yes, father."

After seeing off the old man, Mr. Chen's face became a little foolish again.

"Brother, do you want to drink two glasses together?"

Chen Ke smiled: "Okay, let's go."

The two brothers hadn't sat together so leisurely for a long time.

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon. This is also our first year in Gaoyang County. Can Xinglou come back this time?"

Chen Ke shook his head and said: "It should be impossible to come back. Not to mention that he is currently on duty in the court, even if the court officially seals it, he still has to give New Year's gifts to his in-laws. I have to manage it myself, I'm afraid I won't be free."

This is pretty much what Chen Sanye expected.

"Xinglou is capable, and he acts more prudently, so don't worry too much, brother. I see that my niece and daughter-in-law are also considerate, and she will definitely be a good housekeeper in the future."

"Hehe, let me thank my third brother for his good words first."

"Brother, before Xinglou mentioned that he wanted Xinghe to study in the capital, why didn't you agree?"

Chen Ke shook his head and said: "Xinghe's foundation is still a bit weak. He was not as smart as Xinglou, and he was spoiled by his mother when he was a child, and he was too late to be enlightened. It is better to learn in Dongping Mansion first when he goes to the capital. And Xinglou also sends people to send some books back from time to time, which is also a good thing for Xinghe."

Chen Xinghe is also a father now, he is the eldest son of his family, and he is also a scholarly family, but he has not been able to win the election, which naturally became a problem for him.

Chen Ke felt that letting Chen Xinghe go to the capital would only put more pressure on him.

After all, my brother, my younger brother got the Tanhua test early, but my elder brother has been failing in every exam. If someone else started to gossip, Chen Xinghe might not be able to bear it.

Chen Sanye also wanted to understand the key point, and felt that it was best for the eldest brother to do so.

"It would be great if sister-in-law could understand your painstaking efforts. She was worried that Xinglou would harm Xinghe and insisted on refusing to let him go to the capital. Now she doesn't know why, but she only wants to let Xinghe go to the capital to study."
