The General Said She Didn’t Take a Wife

Lin Aoxue cooked porridge all day, and he didn't eat two bites at noon. When the sunset came to the west, Yunyan led Jinong to see Lin Aoxue. Lin Aoxue found a small restaurant in the city. Sit down and have a meal.

During the banquet, Lin Aoxue told Jin Aoxue that he had sent someone to divert the water. Jin Aoxue nodded, but did not show he was serious about it.

After the meal, Jinong didn't let Lin Aoxue and Yunyan send him off, so he staggered away with a pot of wine, saying that he would see the victims' injuries the next day.

The soldiers Lin Aoxue sent out to dig ditches came back that night. Xue Guan reported to Lin Aoxue the process of water diversion and the current situation in various villages:

"Your Majesty, the floodwaters in the fields of the several villages we are in charge of have been released, and all of them have been poured into the river at the bottom of the mountain. The river has swelled a lot. It won't take long for the flood in the nearby villages to disappear."

Lin Aoxue nodded, she was better today, there was no rain in Yujiang City, but if it rained again, I don't know what the situation would be like. Lin Aoxue decided to stay in Yujiang for a while to see the situation in and outside the city. Moreover, only trenches have been dug, but no canals have been built.

These things take time and cannot be done overnight.

Lin Aoxue waved her hand and asked Xue Guan to lead the people down to rest. She had been busy all day today, and she was already exhausted. It was dark outside, so it was time for the soldiers to take a good rest.

Xue Guan bowed and resigned, while Yunyan pushed open the door and walked in, handing Lin Aoxue a bowl of hot soup.

When she and Yunyan came back to Yujiang, they didn't live in the City Lord's Mansion. She never liked those pomp and circumstance, except when she married Yunyan, who made a big splash, and travel, she was always simple and simple.

Lin Aoxue built a small courtyard near the City Lord's Mansion, enough for her and Yunyan to live.

"It's late at night, I've been busy all day today, it's time to take a rest earlier, don't be exhausted."

Yun Yan walked behind Lin Aoxue and pinched her shoulders to loosen her neck. Lin Aoxue enjoyed it very much. She leaned back slightly and leaned into Yun Yan's arms.

They were tired all the way, and when they arrived at Yujiang, they were too busy to touch the ground. Yunyan felt sorry for Lin Aoxue, and Lin Aoxue didn't care about Yunyan. She raised her hand and pressed Yunyan's soft weed on her shoulders, indicating that she didn't need to press her shoulders for her. , and then sighed:

"Thanks to the help of the seniors. Otherwise, I really can't think of the flood in Yujiang City. Even if I come to Yujiang, I'm afraid I can only forcibly open the canal in the end. I can't predict what the result will be."

Yunyan understands what Lin Aoxue means, and it is indeed fortunate to be able to contact her master, but Lin Aoxue's benevolent heart, the degree of attention she attaches to this matter, and her attitude towards the people are also a result. Pulled it out, and then pressed Lin Aoxue's forehead to relieve the pain in her forehead, and said warmly:

"It's because Mu Xue is kind-hearted and sincere, so things can always get better."

Yu Yunyan was relieved, and Lin Aoxue felt extremely relieved. She nodded, feeling a little sleepy, and said:

"Let someone bring a basin of hot water up, let's wash up and rest."

Yun Yan replied ok, then opened the door and went out and told the palace servants at the door to get some hot water.

After a while, someone knocked on the door, and a childish voice sounded outside:

"My lord, the servant has brought the hot water you asked for."

Lin Aoxue was stunned when she heard the sound, Yunyan also blinked unexpectedly, and then walked quickly to open the door, but seeing the slightly older child who they picked up today was standing outside the house with a water basin, watching nervously. With clouds and smoke.

After the palace servant brought her and her sister back, they gave them a bath, cleaned the mud stains on their faces, and changed into the cloth clothes worn by the servants. For kids, it's pretty good.

After washing his face and putting on new clothes, the child looks delicate and delicate, his eyebrows have not yet opened, and his appearance is considered high-class among ordinary people, and his appearance is very attractive.

Her eyes are watery and very pleasing.

Yunyan took the water basin from the child and said with a smile:

"Come in."

The girl followed Yunyan into the house. Lin Aoxue was taking off her coat. When she looked back and saw Yunyan leading the child in, she put the clothes on the table, looked at the child and asked:

"Forgot to ask today, what are your and your sister's names?"

The little girl naturally knew everything about her benefactor's questions. She bowed to Lin Aoxue according to the etiquette taught by the palace servants today.

The small child just wanted to pretend to be mature and steady, which made Lin Aoxue laugh, but she didn't want to embarrass the little girl, so she forcibly held back the smile on her lips.

"If you go back to the adults, the slave's big name is Fang Yuzhu, the sister's full name is Tan Queyu, and both parents call her Xiaoyu."

Lin Aoxue and Yunyan were surprised when they heard the words, and asked:

"Aren't you sisters?"

If they were sisters, how could they have different surnames?

Fang Yuzhu pursed his lips, looked at Lin Aoxue with watery eyes, nodded and replied:

"Well, the slave is the adopted daughter of Xiaoyu's parents. Xiaoyu's father and slave's father are both guards in the capital. The slave died early, and then his father died in the battle while suppressing the bandits. She was adopted by her family, and she treated her servants like their own daughters, and taught them to read and write."

"Three years ago, Xiaoyu was not yet one year old, her father died in the chaos in Beijing, and her mother took her servants and Xiaoyu back to her parents' house, but her family didn't want to see the orphans and widowed mothers and drove us out. My mother was helpless. I can only be female Hong and raise the slaves and Xiaoyu, even though I worked so hard, my mother didn't leave the slaves behind..."

As Fang Yuzhu spoke, tears gathered in her eyes and her voice became choked up. She sniffed and continued:

"Later, my mother became ill from overwork and became seriously ill. Her mother's family came and robbed her of the savings she had managed to save. She was so angry that they died, and no one collected the body for her. The slaves were afraid of scaring Xiaoyu. Secretly buried my mother."

Speaking of this, Fang Yuzhu had already started to wipe away her tears. Tears rolled down her face like beads with a broken thread. Even Lin Aoxue and Yunyan, who were listening to her, had a heavy expression on their faces.

What happened to these two children was tragic.

"Since then, the servant has made up her mind that she must protect Xiaoyu well in this life, she is the sister of the servant."

Although there were still tears on her face, Fang Yuzhu's eyes were very firm, and no one would doubt what she said when facing these eyes.

Yunyan rubbed Fang Yuzhu's head with her hands and said to her:

"You will not be bullied in the future. Go, let the aunts in the courtyard arrange a place for you to live. You will live in this courtyard for a while."

Fang Yuzhu wiped two tears, took two steps back and knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Lin Aoxue and Yunyan two more times, choked and said:

"Thank you lord for taking it in. In the future, the slaves and Xiaoyu will be cattle and horses, and they will repay the lord."

After Fang Yuzhu bowed, he left. The water in the basin was a little cold. Lin Aoxue dipped his handkerchief in the water and twisted it. He turned around to wipe Yunyan's hands and face, and suddenly sighed helplessly.

Yunyan looked at her, as if she could understand Lin Aoxue's heart. Seeing the latter's frowning face, she took the initiative to ask:

"Sad for these two children?"

Lin Aoxue let out a long sigh, with a look of sadness in his eyes:

"Yeah, such a small child..."

Such a small child, before he understands the right and wrong, has already tasted the warmth and warmth of humanity.

Yun Yan took the veil from Lin Aoxue's hand, twisted it again, and wiped Lin Aoxue's face. After leaving, he suddenly said:

"If you really feel bad for these two children, otherwise, let's take them as righteous daughters."

Lin Aoxue remembered this matter in his heart. If he could not find a solution, Yun Yan estimated that Lin Aoxue would not be able to sleep again tonight.

The two of them would never have had a future, but meeting these two children today is a deep fate.

Lin Aoxue was stunned when she heard the words. She raised her eyes and looked at Yunyan, only to see the latter's brows and eyes were gentle. She just said the words softly, but Lin Aoxue knew that Yunyan must have thought carefully before she made such a proposal.

On the courtier's side, Lin Aoxue was naturally fearless. The courtiers agreed to her marriage with Yunyan, so naturally they wouldn't say anything to her for adopting a child.

It's just that their identities are no longer ordinary now, and their decision to have **** is simple, but it is not a good choice for these two children.

After hearing Yun Yan's proposal, Lin Aoxue fell into a brief silence. The corners of her tightly pursed lips formed a thin line, indicating the hesitation and thinking in her heart.

To become the adopted daughter of the emperor and the queen, the status and rights go up, but correspondingly, there are many risks and pressures to bear.

In the deep palace, the power struggle is ruthless.

The longer she stayed in a high position, the deeper Lin Aoxue felt. The burden on her shoulders was heavy. If it wasn't for Yunyan by her side, she didn't know how long she would be able to hold on.

Many times, she would think, how wonderful it would be to be an ordinary person.

Yunyan didn't understand Lin Aoxue's concerns, she hung the handkerchief on the edge of the basin, raised her hand to untie Lin Aoxue's clothes, and said softly:

"The father of these two children died in the Beijing riot three years ago. Speaking of which, it is also inseparable from us. We haven't met the others for the time being, but today you happened to save them. A kind of fate."

She reached out and rubbed Lin Aoxue's shoulders, then sat down on Lin Aoxue's knees:

"If you have doubts in your heart, why don't you call them over to ask them tomorrow, and if they don't want to, you don't have to force them."

Yun Yan used to think about Lin Aoxue. She knew that Lin Aoxue had a heavy burden on her shoulders, and she was not too young. She always had to find someone to take over the responsibilities on her shoulders.

These two children have a good temperament. If they can be guided well, they may not be able to become talents in the future.

Only in this way, these two children may have had the ordinary life of ordinary people, but they were just brought into the battle of the emperor's family, and it was not clear whether it was good or bad.

Yunyan stroked Lin Aoxue's hair, looked at her tenderly, and said with a smile:

"Besides, Mu Xue, you say, in this life, who can be truly carefree?"

"The common people are for food and clothing, while the royal palace and nobles are fighting for power and profits. Even you and I have gone through a lot of hardships to have the status and achievements we have today. No one can really live a free and easy life. These two children had no choice. You gave them hope and a new direction, so why should you feel guilty."

Yunyan's words entered Lin Aoxue's heart. After she was silent for a while, she raised her head and looked at Yunyan with a wry smile. The two looked at each other. Lin Aoxue let out a breath. Burying his face into Yun Yan's neck, he muttered:

"Yan'er still understands me."

After she finished speaking, she sighed again, and then said her decision:

"I want to observe it for two more days. If these two children are really suitable, I will discuss with them."

Yunyan gently stroked Lin Aoxue's head and said nothing more.

Early the next morning, Lin Aoxue and Yunyan got up, and just after getting dressed, Fang Yuzhu knocked on the door and said from the door:

"My lord, the servants have brought breakfast."

Yunyan was still arranging her clothes when Lin Aoxue walked over to open the door. She glanced at Fang Yuzhu, let her into the room, and said with a smile:

"Why do you get up so early?"

Fang Yuzhu bowed to Lin Aoxuefu, looking a little more standard than yesterday. It seemed that she had secretly practiced by herself after going back last night.

"The slaves get up early so that they can have the opportunity to deliver meals to the adults. The aunts in the yard see that the slaves are young and do not let the slaves do anything. Only this little thing can the slaves be able to help."

Fang Yuzhu was sincere, but Lin Aoxue didn't think how to answer for a while.

The little girl came into the room with a tray, and placed several plates of cakes and white fungus soup on the table neatly. Even though the food on the table looked very tempting, she did not Without appearing to be concerned, he placed the dishes in a proper manner, and then set them back.

Lin Aoxue smiled at Fang Yuzhu, suddenly his mind moved, and said:

"Why don't you call your sister over for dinner."

Fang Yuzhu suddenly panicked when he heard the words, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed before saying in confusion:

"My lord, I can't help it, the aunts in the courtyard have already served our sisters excellent meals, how can they go beyond the norm."

Lin Aoxue sighed in her heart, but did not force it, she only said:

"So, you go down."

Fang Yuzhu bowed again, and then withdrew with the lunch box.

Yun Yan finished arranging and walked out. At a glance, she saw Lin Aoxue sitting sullenly at the table. She heard the voices of Lin Aoxue and Fang Yuzhu outside just now. Presumably the child did not care about Lin Aoxue anymore.

She shook her head helplessly, walked over slowly, sat down beside Lin Aoxue, put a piece of steamed cake in Lin Aoxue's bowl, and said with a smile:

"What's up?"

Lin Aoxue picked up the chopsticks, took a small piece of the steamed cake, put it in his mouth, sipped it, swallowed it, and then answered:

"The child Yuzhu is too unfamiliar to get close to."

When Yunyan heard this, she burst out laughing. Lin Aoxue gave her a dissatisfied look, but she heard Yunyan say cheerfully:

"Last night, you said that you would observe and observe again. Today, you will send those two children to the table to eat. Can you not scare them?"

Lin Aoxue scratched her head, thinking that Yun Yan was right, but she didn't know how to deal with such a situation, so she had to eat with her head down.

Yunyan glanced at her helplessly, and said:

"After you have eaten breakfast, deal with the flood first. I'll watch these two children first, and it should be better when I chat with them."

Lin Aoxue stopped the chopsticks in her hand, raised her eyes to look at Yunyan, Yunyan's brows were gentle and sincere, Lin Aoxue bit her lip, and then said:

"Yan'er, thank you."

Yunyan angrily said to her:

"Fool, eat quickly."

After having breakfast, Lin Aoxue was about to go out. The sky suddenly became dark outside, and then it started to rain again. Lin Aoxue held up an oil-paper umbrella and went straight to the city lord's mansion. Shed to look after the refugees.

The city owner did as he was told, and Lin Aoxue called Xue Guan again, put the plan for building the canal on the drawing in front of Xue Guan, and asked him to take someone to build the canal. By handing over these matters to Xue Guan, Lin Aoxue hardly has to worry too much, just wait for the result.

After arranging the task of building the canal, Lin Aoxue once again led people to the outskirts of the city to make porridge. A simple rain shelter was being built in the place where the refugees gathered yesterday. Lin Aoxue stood under the city gate and watched the canopy being built bit by bit. When she got up, the refugees had a place to shelter from the rain, and their injuries would not worsen. She breathed a sigh of relief.

Jinong came to the refugee pile early to check the injuries of the refugees one by one like yesterday, and then applied medicine for those refugees. Lin Aoxue walked over and told the old gentleman the effect of digging a ditch yesterday to divert water. Jinong heard what Lin Aoxue said. , stroked his beard and smiled:

"Not bad. In this way, the flood disaster in Yujiang City will be relieved in a few days."

Lin Aoxue bowed and bowed to Jinong with a respectful demeanor:

"Thanks to the help of the seniors to solve the urgent needs of Ningguo, the juniors represent the people of Ningguo, and thank the seniors for their great kindness."

Jinong was not polite at all, and accepted Lin Aoxue's bow generously.

Lin Aoxue supervised the cooking of porridge on the outskirts of the city for several days. The floods in Yujiang City were suppressed little by little. Although it rained for several days in a row, the flood did not rise again. The villages that had subsided after the floods also began to rebuild. As the disaster situation in Yujiang City gradually improved, the big stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.

In the past few days, in addition to Yunyan and Jinong, Lin Aoxue also called all the other doctors in Yujiang City to treat the victims.

Although Lin Aoxue did not reveal their identities, the news that the Empress came to Yujiang and brought 10,000 forbidden troops to Yujiang for disaster relief had already reached the ears of the people of Yujiang.

Since the arrival of the Imperial Army in Yujiang, the disaster situation in Yujiang has gradually eased, and the injured victims have also received reasonable arrangements and treatment.

The news of the Queen's Weifu's personal consultation also came out at this time. With this change, the rumors that framed the Queen were getting smaller and smaller. Even, if someone was dissatisfied with the Queen or Queen on Yujiang Road, it would definitely cause public anger , gang up and attack it.

After Lin Aoxue left the courtyard that day, she didn't know what Yunyan and Fang Yuzhu and Tan Queyu said. When Lin Aoxue returned to the courtyard that night, she found that Lin Aoxue had replaced the maid she usually served by their side with Fang Yuzhu.

Yunyan also personally taught Fang Yuzhu how to make tea, and the little Tan Queyu watched. After the tea was brewed, Yunyan asked Xiaoyu to bring her sister's brewed tea to Lin Aoxue.

Lin Aoxue sat on the main seat, took the tea, blew lightly twice, and then put it into the mouth, slightly hot, but able to drink, the tea fragrance is not strong, the water temperature and heat are not very good, but it is not very good for a person who is just learning to brew. For tea kids, it's not bad.

Lin Aoxue smiled at Xiao Yu, then looked at Fang Yuzhu and said:

"good."

Fang Yuzhu and Xiaoyu were praised, their faces were red, and they looked a little shy.

Lin Aoxue laughed, raised her eyes to look at Yunyan, and saw a touch of tenderness in the latter's eyes, warm and slightly different from usual, Lin Aoxue seemed to have never seen it before.

Since that day, Fang Yuzhu and Tan Queyu have been in contact with Lin Aoxue more and more, and they can finally let go little by little, no longer as cautious as when they first came. Lin Aoxue and Yunyan should return to Beijing.

Before they returned to Beijing, they called the two children to them, and Lin Aoxue considered it over and over again, and finally said:

"Yuzhu, I thought twice before, I wanted to send you to ordinary people..."

Before Lin Aoxue finished speaking, Fang Yuzhu's eyes were already red, and she obviously wanted to go wrong again.

Xiaoyu held her sister in hand, raised her head and blinked her eyes, looking at Lin Aoxue and Yunyan in confusion, unable to understand the meaning of Lin Aoxue's words.

Seeing that Fang Yuzhu was about to cry, Lin Aoxue felt helpless and turned to Yunyan for help.

Yunyan smiled and continued her words:

"Your auntie Ning can't worry about you, so she wants to adopt you two as adopted daughters, but she is worried that you won't want to. Xiaoyu is still young, so she can only listen to her sister, so Yuzhu, we will call you over. I just wanted to ask, would you like to be Aunt Ning's adopted daughter?"

Fang Yuzhu was shocked. She never thought that such a good thing would fall on their sisters. After being stunned for a while, she murmured:

"As an adopted daughter, do you want to change your surname?"

If the children of ordinary families are adopted to others, they usually have to change their surnames. The reason why Fang Yuzhu did not change is because Tan Queyu's father said that his comrade-in-arms must have a descendant with the surname Fang, so he did not let Fang Yuzhu change his surname.

Lin Aoxue and Yunyan looked at each other. They never thought Fang Yuzhu would think so much, but they didn't hide it and said bluntly:

"Yes, if you are willing to be our adopted daughters, change your surname to Ning."

Fang Yuzhu was silent, her little face was full of struggles, she didn't even notice that Lin Aoxue used the word "we" when she was talking, and she didn't realize why she had to follow Lin Aoxue's surname after becoming Lin Aoxue's adopted daughter." rather".

She only knew that Lin Aoxue and Yunyan were honorable, but she didn't know how honorable they were.

Lin Aoxue and Yunyan were not in a hurry, they were willing to give the two children, or in other words, Fang Yuzhu enough time to think about it.

For such an important matter, if Fang Yuzhu could immediately abandon the past and agree to their proposal, then she felt that she still needed to reconsider whether to inform these two children of their true identities.

Fang Yuzhu's silence was long enough for a cup of tea, and then she suddenly bent her knees, bowed to the ground, and said:

"Yuzhu and Xiaoyu would like to thank the lord for your kindness. The adults are willing to adopt me. Yuzhu should not have any objection, but Yuzhu still has a ruthless request."

Lin Aoxue took a sip of the tea in the cup and spoke in a calm tone:

"you say."

There was no joy or anger on her face, and Yunyan did not make a sound. Fang Yuzhu swallowed nervously, and then asked carefully:

"The adults please adopt Xiaoyu, but the slaves are willing to give up this opportunity. Yuzhu and Xiaoyu, there must be one person who is filial to the deceased parents, Xiaoyu is still young, she can't take care of herself, and slaves also have self-knowledge, with the ability of slaves. , unable to protect Xiaoyu comprehensively, and since the adults are willing to adopt Xiaoyu, they will definitely treat her well, the slaves have nothing to ask for, I hope the adults will be successful!"
