Beautiful step by step

Chapter 11

When the commotion came, Yan Heng was sitting in the wing room, watching Yan Yun jumping around in the room, groping here and there, chattering excitedly.

"Brother, Sister Ah Mao's house is so big, the room for guests is bigger than the one where parents live. The tables and stools are so beautifully made, even the quilt is so soft, and it smells fragrant."

After boasting about everything he saw, Yan Yun climbed onto the kang on tiptoe, picked up the quilt that was bigger than his body, jumped off and ran towards the door.

Yan Heng reached out with his long arm, lifted his brother by the shoulders and threw him on the kang.The little guy rolled twice, his whole body embedded in the quilt.Satisfied, he turned over, opened his big black eyes, and said dissatisfiedly with his mouth:
"Brother, why are you stopping me? I want to send a quilt to Sister Ah Mao."

"Your sister, Auntie, has no shortage of quilts."

"Really? Doesn't the younger generation need to sleep on hay at Mother Wei's house?"

Yan Heng was half having a headache and half feeling emotional. Since he left Liangzhou, he had to ask him repeatedly every time he passed by a post station.It's not that there is a lack of bedding at home, it's just that the stepmother said that Ah Yun would wet the bed when he was young, so he wasted good things.He was okay when he was at home, at least he could sleep with Ah Yun, but once he returned to the army after the rest, he had to continue to sleep on hay.

"No. When Ah Yun grows up, he can have his own separate room and new bedding."

He has never lacked patience with his younger brother Yan Heng, and of course now there is one more person who makes him not lacking in patience, Ah Mao.It's not that he never thought about fighting against his stepmother, but after all, Ah Yun was still young and had to make a living under his stepmother.Such a small child may die at any time due to a minor illness.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the little guy get up from the kang with a grunt: "Brother, look quickly, there are many people coming outside. I have seen the leader. He always likes to follow you."

Yan Heng went out following the noise, and saw a group of sturdy military men standing outside the gate of the courtyard. At a glance, there were about a dozen of them.The leader he knew was Ding Youde, a fellow villager who served under another hundred households.

Before he saw Ding Youde, the latter recognized the person going out.However, Ding Youde was doubtful, Yan Heng should be on his way back to the northwest, then how could he appear in this courtyard that the upper peak specified to be overturned twice in one day?
Yes, twice a day.They received the order early in the morning, and as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, they were invited back the same way by a famous post from Prince Hou.When I got back to Daying, I just sat down, and before I had a sip of hot tea, I was ordered to go back the same way.Walking twice under the sun, it would make him scold his mother in his heart.But when he saw the people coming out of the courtyard, the anger was instantly extinguished by a basin of cold water.

It really is Yan Heng.It's strange to say that he enlisted at the same time as Yan Heng, and he was even a year older than him, but he was terrified when he saw Yan Heng.When training patrols together, he subconsciously listened to Yan Heng.He didn't understand it at first, but it wasn't until last year when the Oirats invaded, and Yan Heng took him to the back, and shot one of the Oirats, that he suddenly understood.Look at other people's consciousness, he can guess where the Oirats are hiding, and it turns out that he is the eye of wisdom.Immediately after that, he took the initiative to ask for a shift change, and Xiu Mu, who was on patrol, was in sync with Yan Heng.

This time seeing Yan Heng himself, thinking of himself being like a local rascal who led a group of people to harass the houses, Ding Youde shivered, and a chill ran up his heels.Even though the dog days were scorching hot, he could feel the bitter chill of nine cold days beyond the Great Wall.

"Ah... Ah Heng."

"Brother Youde? Ayun just said that you look familiar." Standing on the steps, Yan Heng asked knowingly, "What are you doing?"

Ding Youde faltered: "Master Zhen Fu said that his sister's dowry land was taken away by a slave named Wei in the mansion. Since you are here, we must have gone to the wrong place."

Wei Wei, mother and daughter who had tied up their buns in twos and twos and hurried out of the house before they even had time to put the hairpin in, came to the door just in time to hear this sentence.After crossing the threshold, she confirmed:

"This is the Wei family. There was a misunderstanding about the fertile land, and I made it clear in the morning. What are the military masters doing here?"

Ding Youde took a look at the girl next to him, and took a step back after the girl from the Wei family came out, standing upright at Yan Heng, who was the door god, only felt that one head was two big.Others don't know, he still doesn't know Yan Heng?He was never one to meddle.

"It must be the same name and surname."

Wei Wei saw through his thoughts: "If the family you are looking for is related to Zhenbei Hou's Mansion, then it should be here. The sun is so hot, and Jun Ye is hot and tired from running back and forth. Why don't we go to the government office and take the house at once? Speak clearly."

Seeing the "Are you stupid" expression on the other side, Wei Wei hooked the corners of his lips.The yamen was not run by the Wu family. She was not afraid of making a big fuss, but she was afraid it wouldn't be big enough.Prosperity is bound to decline, and the Wu family is also afraid of being overwhelmed by high achievements.

Thinking of this, a slightly hoarse voice sounded from behind Leng Buding: "Never before the people sue the officials, the common people have to pay [-] slaps first, or pay for the crime."

Wei Wei's face darkened.

"Brother Youde, go back and tell Wu Gong that Yan will not remember the matter of going down the Wild Horse Valley in Qilian Mountains. If he troubles the Wei family in the future, Yan will remember it at any time."

Ding Youde was surprised, Yema Valley is a pocket-shaped valley, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is also the place where the Northwest Army defeated the Oirat Army in a decisive battle.That day when Yan Heng returned with the army, his armor was soaked in blood, and even his long spear was dyed reddish brown.He originally thought that with Yan Heng's ability, even if he could not be promoted to a hundred households after the war, he would be promoted to the Jinzheng Seventh Rank General Banner as a certainty.But in the end, the decree came, but it was Wu Gong who would not fall into the name of a general, bravely killed the enemy, and was promoted to the fifth rank of governor.

Hearing what Yan Heng said now, he seemed to understand something.

"Ah Heng, we are no better than the Wu family, you have to bear with some things."

"Emperor Shengming openly accepts advice. If I have an idea, I won't hide it until now. Just pass on your original words to Wu Gong."

Yan Heng's face remained calm, but Ding Youde, who was familiar with him, could see a trace of disgust in it.He doesn't understand the truth, but he knows that his official position was won by Yan Heng.He must not forget his roots in life, he secretly made up his mind to appease the Lord from afar in the future.

After declining Wei's mother's warm invitation to go to the hospital to rest, Ding Youde looked at the Wei family girl, and the more he looked at her, the more he felt that she was born well.Stunning at first sight, the more you look at it, the more attractive it will be.After someone's face was so dark that it was about to drip, he winked at him ambiguously, and led a group of people back the same way.With a wave of his sleeves, only a cloud of dust is left.

The front of the door returned to calm. At this moment, Wei's mother was looking at Yan Heng, and it was the mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law. The more she watched, the more satisfied she became.

But Wei Wei was a little worried: "Aren't you afraid that he will become angry if you threaten like this?"

It is possible for a general to die on the battlefield, shrouded in horse leather, and it is easy to die a low-level officer in the army.When Yan Heng opened his mouth to stop her from reporting to the official, Wei Wei thought that he might use his acquaintance to persuade them to dismiss them, but he did not expect that in the end he would reveal his secrets.

The leader's little tail is not so easy to catch, if he is not careful, he will be put on little shoes.

Under her worried eyes, Yan Heng curled his lips into a smile, and stretched out his big hand to her face, but stopped it stiffly when he was about to touch her cheek.

"If I don't say it all the time, he will be more worried, and he will feel more at ease in this way."

When he said Wei Wei in this way, he understood that Zeng Zi killed the pig, and Han Xin's daughter thanked Piaomu.To get rid of such a small matter for such a small matter, I am afraid that it will be too late for Wu Gong to be happy.

Rest assured, she also entered the room, and was given a simple bun by Wei's mother.But after learning for a long time, the simplest hairdo can make her fall a lot of broken hair.

Wei's mother showed helplessness: "Ah Mao is still the same as before, there is no shortage of money to buy maids in the left and right homes. Now I will clean up for you, and when you get married in the future, let the maids take care of you."

"Marry?"

"That's right," Mama Wu's eyes lit up, and she walked around to the strange aunt who was holding a lollipop to deceive children, "I think Brother Heng is not bad. Although his family is poor, he is good-looking, capable, and human You have a responsibility. Your mother has been working in the Hou Mansion for most of her life, and she has never seen any dirty things. Those noble sons, which room is clean? It is not necessarily a bad thing for a man to be poor since he was a child, as long as he is sensible and motivated, and he is not ungrateful like Chen Shimei Just fine."

Yan Heng?
Wei Wei thought of the boy's handsome face, and his slightly hoarse voice plucked at her heartstrings like a feather when he spoke.She liked him a little bit when she was at the inn, and she wanted to marry after all, and it was not bad to marry him.

"Since my mother praises him like a flower, so much that she almost forgets her daughter, then I promise to be."

Wei's mother, who was about to boast this flower to the flowers, was stunned. Did she agree?It's too soon... I just said that I couldn't bear to part with my mother and wanted to stay with her for a few more years.

Mother Wei was very sad.
