Chapter 234
Ning Wan was going to Anpingwei to deliver the iron stone, and she woke up in the middle of the night, hurriedly eating a bowl of noodles before boarding the car, Luo Yan ran over, "Sister Ning, take me there, I also want to send my brother off."

Ning Wan has been a little confused for the past two days after Tie Shi left, so she even forgot that Luo Bing was also on the expedition together and that she should take Luo Yan to see her off.However, when I told my mother-in-law yesterday, she was standing aside, but she didn't mention it, but quietly followed her whereabouts.

This kid does things differently from others.

Ning Wan looked at her, but she still couldn't refuse, so she called Bai Shi, "You give Yan'er a bowl of noodles for her to eat, and then tell Aunt Wu that Luo Yan is going out with us, so mother-in-law don't worry."

Luo Yan hurriedly said: "Sister Ning, don't waste time because of me, it doesn't matter if I don't eat breakfast, I'll tell Aunt Wu, it will be soon."

This child was too cautious in everything she did, so Ning Wan smiled, "You must have breakfast." As she said that, she went back to her room and took a Xiangfei-colored satin lambskin jacket for her to wear outside.

Although it is only autumn, it is already very cold in the morning and evening. Ning Wan is wearing jackets, but she is wearing a royal blue satin white rabbit fur cape. Luo Yan was the only one who was wearing a cotton-padded jacket in the rabbit leather jacket I gave her last year, and she was already thin, but she looked even thinner and pitiful against the backdrop of her home.

Now that she saw the leather jacket that Ning Wan took out, Luo Yan quickly shook her head, "Sister Ning, I'm not cold, I'm wearing cotton clothes."

Ning Wan forcefully put the leather jacket on her body, even though it was the smallest one, it still covered Luo Yan from head to toe.It's really interesting for a little person to wear an adult's clothes. Ning Wan smiled when she saw it, and took out a bright red sweat scarf and tied it around her waist, "It's better like this." Look, Luo Yan's little face is getting whiter with the silk dress of Xiangfei color and the snow-white fur at the collar, and the smaller facial features become more exquisite the more you look closely, and she will definitely be a beauty when she grows up. No wonder she will become a princess in the future!

Luo Yan couldn't make it, so she obediently followed Sister Ning to help her tidy up, and hurriedly followed Ning Wan into the carriage, rolled the curtains for Ning Wan with a wink, and smiled flatteringly: "Sister Ning, I'm wearing this dress." A leather jacket feels much warmer."

"I'll give you this leather jacket," Ning Wan replied with a smile, "Go back and ask Mrs. Bai to change it for you."

Although Luo Yan has only been here for a few days, Bai's mother-in-law and Aunt Wu are all the same. They like Luo Yan very much, and now they smile and say: "This fur coat is newly made by Madam, and it's not topless yet. But Yan'er looks really good in it, when I go back, I will change it into a robe for you, so it will fit you better."

Luo Yan was a little girl no matter what, she was the happiest when she got beautiful clothes, her eyes were smiling, she thanked her very cutely, and said: "I can do some sewing, I can change it myself."

After listening to Bai Shi, she helped her make up her mind how to change it. Ning Wan closed her eyes and leaned on the carriage when she heard them talking, her thoughts flew to the barracks, wondering if she could see the iron stone, and if she could say a few words ?

The carriage came to dawn in the dark, and stopped after hearing Lao Lin's yell, Ning Wan opened the curtain of the carriage and looked.Now they are outside the sentry post, and they can see the barracks where Iron Stone is stationed from a distance.

There was a layer of mist in the mid-autumn dawn, through which Ning Wan could see that the soldiers were busy, some were dismantling tents, some were cooking, and some were drinking horses... Although there were a lot of people and things going on, it wasn't chaotic at all, the whole camp was quiet, and even the war horses just obediently drank water and grazed without barking.Not long after, everything in the camp was completely empty, except for groups of neat soldiers who were about to walk out of the barracks.

At this moment, Anpingwei's bell rang, and it turned out to be the morning hour.Ning Wan heard the sound of the city gate not far away, looked up and saw the huge city gate opened slowly, several horses ran out first, led by the officers of Anpingwei, including father-in-law, Commander Lu Tongzhi, and other officers of Anpingwei, leading the soldiers Come here on horseback.This time, Anpingwei sent Tieshi to lead three hundred households to suppress the bandits, together with gang members, there were nearly a thousand people in total.

The barracks was originally not far from the city gate, but these officers rode on horseback and arrived in the blink of an eye.But the two rows of guards in front of the barracks blocked them with weapons, so they had to rein in their horses and stop, and the officials dismounted and walked in one by one.

Many civilians who came out with these officers also came to see them off, they walked much more slowly, and when they reached the gate of the camp, they stood outside the guard post like Ning Wan, staring intently at the camp.

Suddenly, there was a shout of "Wan Sheng!" in the barracks. The father-in-law, Commander Lu Tongzhi and others walked out first and stopped outside the barracks. Wan opened her eyes wide, this was her only chance to see Tieshi!

Sure enough, after about a hundred people passed by, Tie Shi appeared with his soldiers. He was wearing the armor he had when he first entered Hutai County, and he was riding on that big black horse. I recognized him, and he happened to be able to pass in front of me in a while, and I would definitely see myself!
Tie Shi approached little by little, but he suddenly ran out from the queue with his horse, and Ning Wan's heart sank. Could it be that he made a special detour when he saw that there were too many people seeing him off?Then I can't see him clearly, and he can't see himself either!

The voices around him came and went, there were cries and laughter, and more were earnest parting words. Ning Wan wanted to call Tie Shi, but she still didn't call out. She stood on tiptoe and looked at him, only to see him slamming on the side of the road. Stretching down from the horse's back, the whole person scooped up the long arms below, and immediately returned to the horse, and then jumped in front of her, stopped the horse and bent down, and put a small blue wild flower in her hand ,"wait me back!"

What she held in her hand was a wild chrysanthemum, the best blooming flower in Liaodong this season, with blue petals and bright yellow stamens, delicate but hardy, Ning Wan felt that he was comparing herself with the flower, just like herself today He was wearing a bright yellow jacket with a blue cloak over it.

This person is really, at this time, he is still joking with himself!Ning Wan smiled, put the flower on the edge of his mane, and watched him gradually go away until the whole team was gone.

Bai said, "Ma'am, it's still early, and we've already arrived at Anpingwei, why don't we go into the city for a while."

"No, let's go back." Ning Wan knew that Bai Shi had been sad these days, so she coaxed herself to go to Anpingwei, but now she was not sad anymore, Tie Shi asked herself to wait for him!He will succeed in suppressing the bandits, and then he will come back to see himself!

All you have to do is wait for it!
No one knew better than Ning Wan that Tie Shi would win the bandit suppression, she was only worried because she cared too much.

Mrs. Bai usually waited by Ning Wan's side, so when she saw her smilingly putting the flowers on her temples, she knew that Madam had recovered from the decadence of the past two days, so she stroked Ning Yan's head, "You Don't be sad, your brother looks very energetic in the sheepskin robe that his wife gave him, and he will be able to pick you up when he comes back from suppressing the bandits."

Ning Wan didn't see Luo Bing at all just now, her heart was filled with iron and stone, now seeing Luo Yan bowing her head in a very disappointed look, she couldn't help feeling a little affectionate, and said: "Your brother will definitely come back to pick you up Home!" It seems that Luo Bing has not stayed in Liaodong for a few years, and Luo Yan will return to the capital with her brother, and a bright future is waiting for her.

A group of people were about to board the car, but a middle-aged woman came over and saluted with a smile, "Our Young Madam invited Madam Lu to come over to talk about it."

Ning Wan looked in the direction of her finger, and it turned out that Mrs. Lu had also come, and now she was sitting in the car, rolled up the curtain half way and smiled at herself, then raised her hand as an invitation.

So it turned out that not only did I not see Luo Bing?The Lu family's car was right in front of him, but he didn't even notice it!Ning Wan smiled and walked over, "Why are you here?"

Mrs. Lu brought her into the car, "Come and sit at our house, our mother-in-law and mother-in-law often talk about you, I don't know how happy I will be when I take you back."

Ning Wan knew that Mrs. Lu was different from herself. She grew up in the inner house and was not used to showing her face in front of everyone, so she got into the car and saw that the servants of the Lu family really put down the curtains to block all the outside eyes. He smiled and said: "Don't move the car yet, I'll just come up and say a word - I told my mother-in-law yesterday that I will return after delivering the iron stone. I'm afraid the old man will be worried if it is late. I will make a special trip to the mansion to meet the old lady and the old lady in a few days." lady."

Mrs. Lu also knew that Ning Wan might not be in the mood at this time, so she didn't force her to go over, she just smiled and said: "The scene just now shocked me so much that my eyeballs almost fell out, and your general Iron Stone actually knew Pick flowers for you!"

Ning Wan was ridiculed by Mrs. Lu but she was not shy, because she knew that Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu were also a loving couple, so she laughed and said: "I have always lamented that I didn't see with my own eyes when Mrs. Lu was shocked when he met Mrs. Lu. look!"

Mrs. Lu was a little embarrassed, "But today he didn't pick flowers for me!"

Ning Wan was taken aback, "Could it be that Master Lu also went to suppress bandits?"

Mrs. Lu laughed, "Of course I came to see him off!" She added: "There are many families in Anpingwei who sent their children to follow General Tie Shi. Didn't you see that all the cars from every family came today?"

After the city gate opened, many people came to see them off. In fact, there were quite a few vehicles, but Ning Wan was not familiar with Anpingwei, and she didn't have the heart to pay attention to others at the time, so she didn't care. Which one is it?"

"Except for Zhou's family and your Lu's family, Commander Sun, Qian Shi, Xu, Qian, and Li's three commanding and acquainted families all sent their sons into the bandit suppression army, and some families even sent several of them!" Mr. Lu said. As the lady spoke, she counted the number of people, all of them were the second son, third son or concubine son of each family.

Ning Wan thought for a while before she understood, and said in admiration: "After all, the officials of Anpingwei have a higher vision than the people in Hutai County. People came to our house and forced us to hand over the government office immediately! You have thought of making military achievements in the suppression of bandits so that your children can get a job." But she still didn't understand that Young Master Lu joined the army, "But Young Master Lu is the eldest son! !"

The military position has always been inherited by the eldest son. Although the Lu family has a large population, the family style is very upright. Commander Lu Tongzhi has no concubine sons. Apart from the sisters, there is only one younger brother who is the same mother. The identity is very stable, and there is no possibility of being unable to attack the post.Therefore, he is different from those second sons and bastards who have no possibility of attacking their posts. They went to the army, won military merits, and found a way out.

"Even if Da Lang takes up a military position in the future, it would be a good thing to get some military merits now!" Mrs. Lu said with a smile, "Just say that the three hundred households that are sent out now may not even listen to orders on weekdays. , but as soon as General Tieshi received the military order to take them out of the city, everything changed in just a few days, and it wasn't because General Tieshi suppressed them!"

This sentence is not wrong at all, the most important thing in the army is military merit, this kind of glory from the battlefield is incomparable to all other auras.Therefore, no matter how Commander Zhou tried to suppress Tieshi, Tieshi could still rely on his military achievements, and he always had a very high prestige.Xu Qianhu hated Tie Shi so much, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Commander Lu Tongzhi is a man of insight. Since he is optimistic about Tieshi, he will naturally let his son go out with him, and give his son some bargaining chips.This is naturally a good thing for Tieshi, regardless of other things, just say that Commander Lu promised the superior military equipment, even if it is not for Tieshi, but only for his most valued eldest son, he will go all out.Ning Wan nodded, "It can be seen that your family has far-sightedness, and you also know the general idea."

"The so-called far-sightedness is generally obtained after suffering a lot. In the previous generations of the Lu family, brothers fought against each other in order to inherit the military position." Mrs. Lu said in a low voice: "From me Since the father-in-law, there have been no concubines."

Although Ning Wan knew the Lu family before, she was not very familiar with it after all, so she inevitably asked: "How did you do it?" She didn't know if Commander Lu had a concubine room, but it was impossible for her to come to the fourth-rank officials without attendants. And the one next to Mrs. Lu who combed her hair is the girl who married Mrs. Lu, and now she is the housekeeper.

"Of course there is a way, I will tell you quietly."
