little wife

Chapter 83

Jing Le was not far away from them, and when he saw something was wrong, he flew up and grabbed the woman's sleeve, only to hear a "hiss", the sleeve was torn apart, and the woman who was hit The woman's forehead brushed against the wall, and the skin was scratched, and the blood flowed down, looking very terrifying.

The two Xirong people left cursing, the middle-aged man rushed forward to help his wife up, feeling a bit at a loss for a while, Ning Luo hurried over, took out the embroidered handkerchief and handed it to him, signaling him to quickly deal with the bruise on his wife's forehead Wound.

The middle-aged man suddenly came to his senses, and pressed his wife's wound with an embroidered handkerchief, and they both knelt down and thanked him for saving his life.

Ning Luo couldn't help feeling a pang of pity, this man would rather endure such harassment and blackmail than divorce his wife, he was a hundred times stronger than Yu Huiyao's childhood sweetheart who had read poetry and books.

"Don't thank me, there is no way for you to go on like this..." She shook her head and sighed.

"If you can't provoke us, let's hide," the middle-aged man said with a choked voice. "If there is no other way, we will leave our hometown and avoid it. Thank you for the help of this lady. Madam, you should leave as soon as possible, and don't provoke those people."

Although Ning Luo was not afraid of those Xirong people, Jing Le didn't dare to be careless, and immediately protected Ning Luo back to the mansion, and when Jing Yun came back, he explained the matter in detail.

Ning Luo was also surprised, and asked from the side: "Do you think the governor of the case knows about it? If he knew, why did he sentence him like this? Such a weak and deceitful person, let alone the invasion of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it is these Xirong people who are making trouble in the city." He couldn't hold back any of this."

Jing Yun pondered for a moment and said: "This is not a one-day cold. To cure it, you need to uproot it. If you don't pay attention, the soldiers of Zhechong's government will have trouble with the governor's government. We need to find an opportunity."

Putting aside the troubles of worrying about the country and the people, Ning Luo became more and more at ease in Luping City.

Although the weather is getting colder and colder, earth dragons are burned in this house, and there is silver charcoal for it, so it feels warm.The snow in winter lasts for several days. Outside the window is covered with snow, snow trees and silver flowers. Sitting at the window with a book in hand, it seems that time flies inside and outside the house. From winter to spring, it is really very pleasant.

Don't worry about someone's backstabbing, don't worry about gossip that comes out of nowhere, ride horses and practice Wu Qinxi during the day, play the piano and draw landscapes and flowers, and talk with Jing Yun around the stove at night, analyzing current political and military affairs for him, Interspersed with Jinghou Lord's sweet words and tenderness from time to time.

Yu Huiyao would sometimes come over to drink tea and hang out with each other. The two played a game of chess when they had nothing to do. In the past, Ning Luo won less and lost more under Yu Huiyao's hands. There are even fewer victories.

Occasionally, Jing Yun came back early and met Yu Huiyao. After she left, he couldn't help but ask Ning Luo, is there any hope for Zou Zelin?
Ning Luo was silent for a moment before saying gloomily: "I don't know whether to continue to help Brother Zelin wait for Huiyao, or to let Zelin die. Huiyao is too proud and stubborn. Given the current situation of the two of them , I’m afraid that if we wait any longer, it will be a dead end.”

Jing Yun took out a letter from his bosom, and shook it helplessly in front of Ning Luo: "Look, the post office just delivered it, and the first sentence in it is to ask Hui Yao how she is."

Ning Luo counted the time, fearing that the letter returned by Yu Huiyao had already arrived in Zou Zelin's hands, she had mixed feelings in her heart, and sighed softly: "In the future... he should not write any more letters... If you want to To be in love with Huiyao...unless...a miracle happens."

As soon as the twelfth lunar month enters, the entire Luping City is almost covered with silver, and the streets are becoming less and less crowded. Only the twice-a-month gatherings are still very lively, and everyone is busy buying new year's goods.

However, Jing Yun's mansion drills did not stop. They practiced during the summer and winter and practiced during the three-nine. Skills, weapons, and formations are all unsatisfactory. If you are late, you will get ten sticks;If a team leader or above deliberately asks for leave due to illness or passively violates the order, the leave will be canceled within three days, and the leader will be replaced by a deputy or a subordinate below the deputy.

As a governor, Jing Yun set an example. He arrived at the school grounds at five o'clock every day, and left after dark. Within a ten-day period, he toured the entire Changzhou and dealt with many tired officers. The soldiers were full of energy and did not dare to slack off in the slightest. Orders and prohibitions were enforced, and military discipline and military appearance were not the same.

However, someone in the governor's mansion couldn't take it anymore.

"Sister, is this something that people do? You are shivering while heating the stove in the house in the winter. Let us go to practice soldiers and horses. I am also a soldier who joins the army. I am going to freeze to death." Me? Look at my fingers, look at my feet, they have become frozen radishes, I don’t want to say anything, just say I’m sick, I’m going to die, and I’ll get better in spring, Could it be that he really didn't give my brother-in-law any face and gave up my position in the army?"

A man in his thirties was half leaning on the Arhat's bed, gnawing on an apple and cursing. He was Yu Xiyuan's brother-in-law Ding Ningsheng.

Looking at his swollen toes, Mrs. Ding couldn't help but feel distressed, and she smiled at Yu Xiyuan and said, "Sir, why don't you forget it? Isn't it just a leave of absence for more than a month, this little face will always give you of."

Yu Xiyuan scolded with a sullen face: "Others can bear it, why can't you bear it? He is a newcomer and the fire is burning. Be careful and become a sharpening stone for him to kill chickens and monkeys!"

"Brother-in-law, you are trying to kill me," Ding Ningsheng wailed bitterly, "Just because I earned so much money for you, you should let me live a good life for a few days. Look at the past Master Zhang, don’t you handle it well? Why don’t you dare to do this?”

"What do you know? Zhang Hui can compare with him?" Yu Xiyuan said angrily, "Who is this? He is the Marquis of Dingyun who is favored by the emperor! You have been away for more than a month, and when the time comes, he will find out the old account." I'm done, as long as I'm rated as top-notch in this year's performance appraisal, this position can be moved up, maybe I can be transferred to the capital or a rich prefecture in the south of the Yangtze River, don't make trouble for me at this juncture."

Seeing that her husband was angry, Mrs. Ding went to persuade her younger brother: "Okay, okay, why don't you just bear with it for a few more days, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I will make up for you when the time comes."

Ding Ningsheng muttered a few words, and said bitterly: "Do you think he has enough to eat and is free? Does he really think that the people from the Northern Zhou Dynasty will call here? It's been so peaceful for so many years, what are you going to fight for?"

Yu Xiyuan took this very seriously. The border has been peaceful all these years. Half a year ago, the Northern Zhou Mission specially prepared generous gifts to congratulate Emperor Shenghe on his birthday. It looked like a gesture of friendship between the two countries.On the contrary, those Xirong people from the Hu tribe came here to make troubles from time to time, but they are few in number, no matter how tough they are, they can't make any big waves, and their knowledge is shallow, so just let them ask for peace.

"All in all, you'll go to sell your leave tomorrow," Yu Xiyuan said, "I'll be quiet these days, by the way," he paused, and looked at his brother-in-law suspiciously, "you haven't been sneaking around these days. Do you want to make silver flowers?"

Ding Ningsheng's eyelids twitched, and he said with an apologetic smile, "Of course not. Brother-in-law, you have told me several times that I have grown a few heads, so how dare I go get silver flowers again."

Yu Xiyuan felt relieved, looked at Ding Mingxiu again, frowned and said: "And you, don't hide in the room all day and count on Jing Yun, I told you that he can't see it." Come on you, don't lose my people."

Ding Mingxiu subconsciously touched her forehead. That day her big green bump was swollen for half a month, and she also hid in the house for half a month and didn't come out, thinking about how to find an excuse to get close to Jing Yun when it was spring.When she heard this, her face suddenly changed: "Why did uncle say that? Who is gossiping in front of you?"

Seeing that she was still obsessed with obsession, Yu Xiyuan was so angry that he didn't know where else to go: "Who else? Naturally, Jing Yun hinted at me. He is not interested in other women, and he is even more bored with women who are not self-respecting." , please let me bring a message, otherwise I'm afraid I will hurt my face when the time comes, and everyone will not look good."

This is really more embarrassing than falling to the ground that day, Ding Mingxiu's face was flushed, tears welled up in his eyes, and he looked at Mrs. Ding sadly: "Auntie... I'm so miserable..."

Mrs. Ding was so distressed, she hugged her niece into her arms, and said angrily: "I'm still a governor, seeing a duke is like a mouse seeing a cat."

Yu Xiyuan was so squeezed that he couldn't speak, he tossed his sleeve angrily, said "long hair, short knowledge", and went to have fun with his concubine.

It seems that it is the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. It is different from previous years. Without a lot of friends and relatives in the capital, there are only two people in the family. After receiving all of them, it finally made the Governor's Mansion seem a little lively.

Yu Fengdong has been here for a year, and he seems to be a lot darker, but his spirit looks good. When he saw Jing Yun, he started talking, and the two went into the study together to discuss major military and political affairs in Changzhou.

Yu Huiyao said with a smile: "I was worried that my father would be devastated, but now it seems that his being demoted is not all a disaster. Being in a high position is blindfolded, and he can only see clearly when he is at the bottom. He told me that if Changzhou doesn’t send someone with more powerful means down, he might be wormed out of it, and now that Lord Hou is here, he can count on him to catch him.”

"Just let uncle teach brother Jing many tricks in the Changzhou government. Come, let's drink tea." Ning Luo laughed.

The two of them were chatting, when suddenly someone outside the door laughed and said, "It's useless for me to run all the way, because I'm afraid you'll be homesick and cry, so you're at ease."

"Ma'am! The Fifth Young Master is here!" Lv Song cried out in surprise.

When Ning Luo saw it, she was stunned. She saw Ning Heng hurriedly standing outside the hall door with snowflakes on her cloak, looking at her with a smile; Wei Si stood silently behind her, her amber eyes fixed on her. landed on her.
