Chapter 2140 The Gui Zi Juan is filled with lingering thoughts and worries for thousands of miles.
After sending away the piece of bamboo, Qiu Zixiong asked his subordinate Qiu Zifeng, "Boy, what do you think?"
"There must be something fishy. Yanchuan is definitely easier to fight than Yanchang. Moreover, we know the situation in Yanchuan County very well. We only need to follow the clues and catch the turtle in the jar. Why bother to go around Yanchuan and fight Yanchang?" Qiu Zifeng shook his head repeatedly, "Here we are. There must be something weird that we don’t know about.”
"Well, this guy has sharp teeth and a lotus tongue, but he doesn't know that we know the situation much better than he does. But in the end, this guy also got a little confused, and he just insisted on gritting his teeth." Qiu Zixiong said with a smile: " Then we have to make a careful calculation. Zuo Guaizi and Miao Renmei so enthusiastically invited me to go south to Yanchang. They were even willing to be my pawns to fight Yanchang. They also bypassed Yixiang City. We need to figure out the strange things here. Be reasonable.”
"Yes, we can't jump to conclusions. We can rest for two days in Yanshui Pass. We could have stayed in Qingjian for a few more days. Who would have thought that the people in the north are so tight that we can only go south..." He Huan glanced at Qiu Zixiong and saw that he was unhappy, so he didn't dare to say any more.
"Huh, there's no good in staying in Qingjian. It's also a good thing to leave early." Sun Lun shook his head: "Huanzi, I haven't seen that some brothers are impatient and try every means to sneak out at night. It's not because we have strict inspections. , something is definitely going to happen, so it’s only right to leave. Yanshui Pass is not bad, but the prosperity of the city is gone, so everyone is calm."
"Well, what Zi Lun said makes sense. Our military discipline is still not as good as that of Boyan Village, and this can be reflected in this aspect." Qiu Zixiong cast a stern glance at He Huan, who felt guilty, "The days ahead are still long. Now, after taking only a few steps, I started to get distracted. I think something will happen sooner or later. Some people are not upright. No wonder the bottom is unstable, Huanzi, don't you think so?"
He Huan could only lower his head and remain silent.
"Okay, it's undecided whether the Yanchuan attack will be extended or not. We need to learn more about the situation. We will send out sentries and scouts to find out. In addition, the people from the north will also give us news. There is no rush." Qiu Zixiong stretched his waist. "The extension of Yanchuan is not our goal. Yichuan, Luochuan, even Hancheng and Baishui are. Haha, Zuo Guaizi, Huntian Wang, and Monk Wang will all follow us sooner or later. Follow us obediently. Let’s go, this is the result we want from our big game.”

“Did your husband’s letter come back?” Daiyu stood up in surprise, threw aside the fan in her hand, and took two steps forward to ask.
"It's just that I asked someone to bring a letter back from Shaanxi. When I entered the house, I went to my wife's house first, and then came back to the third room." Seeing her girl's expectant look, Zijuan couldn't help but hide her words. He smiled and said, "Girl, there is no need to be so anxious. I will definitely be thinking about you. I will definitely give you a special letter."
"Why am I anxious?" Daiyu sat back in front of the flower window and waved the fan quietly, "My husband has been gone for so long, and when he arrived in Datong, he only asked someone to bring a message back, but he didn't see a letter. , it must be difficult to write on the road, but it must have been a month or two since we arrived in Shaanxi, and there is no sound yet, and the newspapers in Beijing say that the chaos in Shaanxi is terrible, how can we not make people worried? "
"Don't worry, girl, who is this man? Doesn't it have to be in Shaanxi to suppress the rebellion in Ningxia? I also mentioned that he went into the grassland alone. Didn't he also fight with those Mongolians in Yongping Mansion? Will the Mongols flee?" Zicuckoo smiled faintly, took the round fan from Daiyu's hand and started fanning it for Daiyu, "I don't believe that those rogue people in Shaanxi can be more powerful than the Mongols."
"That's still different. I've also heard my husband say that when he entered the grassland, he actually knew the leader of the Mongolians on the grassland. In particular, he had always been on good terms with the Mongolians on the grassland. As for the Mongolians in Yongping Mansion, The First World War was also fought with the help of favorable geographical conditions, but when he went to Shaanxi, the Xianggong was unfamiliar with the place and had nothing in his hands, so the officials below may not be able to impose orders and prohibitions..."
Speaking of this, a trace of sadness appeared on Daiyu's face, "If it was really easy, he would have written back long ago. It's just that the matter was difficult and he was too busy to have time, so he hasn't written back yet."
"Where can it be like what the girl said?" Zijuan pouted, "Back then in Linqing, the girl and I were able to turn misfortunes into good fortune. Do you remember that Uncle You was also there with you? This time, Uncle You Didn't you follow me again? It can be seen that there must be nothing wrong. "
After Zijuan said this, Daiyu felt much better. It was indeed Feng You who was with her back then, so everything seemed to be solved in the end. I hope it will be the same this time.
Just as I was thinking about it, Xue Yan came in and said, "Girl, the eldest brother Yunshang is here."
“Oh, please come in.” Daiyu also knew that Yun Shang served Feng Ziying early in the morning, and then followed Shen Yixiu, so this relationship was unusual.
Yun Shang came in and was blessed. Daiyu greeted Yun Shang without courtesy and asked what was going on.
Yun Shang came and Shen Yixiu asked Baochai and Daiyu to go to her place. He said that the uncle had returned with a letter and it was specially given to the three grandmothers.
“Yunshang, you only got one letter back?” Daiyu frowned slightly and pursed her lips, obviously a little unhappy.
"Oh." Daiyu relaxed her eyebrows a little, and then stood up: "Then I'll go over, has Sister Bao notified you as well?"
“Grandma has already sent people to notify her, including my second aunt,” Yun Shang replied.
The titles in the Feng Mansion are also a bit complicated and confusing. For example, as the servants call these people, the second aunt in the eldest house usually refers to the second sister You, and the third sister You is called the third concubine; while in the second house, Baochai is called the third concubine. She is called the Second Grandma, and Baoqin is the Second Grandma Qin, with an extra word "qin". As for Yingchun, some are called the Second Aunt, and some are called the Second Aunt. The same is true for the Sanfang side. Daiyu is naturally the Third Grandma. Miao But no one in Yu calls her Grandma Yu, and they are all called Grandma Miao or Grandma Yu. Xiuyan is called Third Sister or Aunt Yan instead of Third Sister, because that is the fixed title of Third Sister You.
Even Feng Ziying found it a bit confusing before, but over time people got used to calling them names, and they knew who they were talking about as soon as they were spoken, so Feng Ziying accepted it.
When Lin Daiyu arrived at the long house, Baochai and Yingchun had already arrived.
After greeting Shen Yixiu and Baochai, Lin Daiyu first came to Yingchun's side, holding Yingchun's hand to greet her.
Yingchun's belly has grown a lot in two months, and she is already very pregnant, and her face, which was originally weak and delicate, has also become rounder. It looks a bit like Jia Baoyu's big face, especially those pair of eyes. Eyes, cousins Yingchun and Baoyu are really similar, both are beautiful.
Daiyu and Yingchun are cousins, and Yingchun has always been independent of the world, with a gentle and honest personality, and Daiyu is also very close to her.
Yingchun was called Ermumu in the environment of Rongguo Mansion with disdain, but this character changed after arriving at Feng Mansion.
Shen Yixiu, Xue Baochai, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baoqin, and Miaoyu are not easy to mess with. Even Xiuyan is a shrewd person. Only Second Sister You and Yingchun have such honest tempers, and are very popular with the servants.
Especially now that Yingchun is pregnant again. In the situation where Shen Yixiu only has one daughter, if Yingchun gives birth to a boy, he will be the eldest son of a three-bedroom family in the Feng family. Even if it is the eldest son of a concubine, it will be terrible. It means that the Feng family has a queen and heirs to inherit the family.
So the status of Yingchun has also risen, and the servants always support it. In addition, there is a scorching Siqi who is always waiting by the side like a tigress guarding her cubs. The days of Yingchun are also very pleasant.
Looking at Yingchun's satisfied smile, Daiyu's daughter's mood was mixed with some envy. She couldn't help but put her hand on Yingchun's belly and stroked it gently: "Second sister, how do you feel now? You usually have Nothing unusual?"
Seeing Daiyu's cautious look, Yingchun smiled shyly and said, "I don't feel anything else at all. I just feel sleepy. I doze off a lot, and I can eat a lot more. There's nothing else."
“Do you feel anything in your stomach?” Daiyu asked curiously.
"Sister Lin is so curious. You will know it when you get pregnant by yourself in the future. The second sister can't explain it now." Baochai couldn't help laughing when he saw Daiyu's innocent and curious look on her face, and joked.
Daiyu blushed, but today was different from the past. She and Baochai were both married women, and they had also been husband and wife. The same was true for everyone here, so they were just a little shy and glanced at each other. Baochai: "Sister Bao is probably more anxious than my younger sister..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Baochai's expression did not change, but the color of Zicuckoo next to Daiyu and Ying'er next to Baochai changed a little.
In these words, it seemed as if Lin Daiyu was mocking Yingchun, the concubine, for being pregnant, but Baochai, the eldest wife, had not yet responded.
However, Baochai knew Daiyu's temperament and would definitely not be like this. It was an unintentional remark made out of shame and urgency, and was not intended to be directed at him. He glared at Daiyu and said, "Is this my sister deliberately mocking me in front of my second sister? "
Daiyu was also shocked and realized that she had made a mistake. Fortunately, looking at Baochai's expression, she knew that the other party was not angry. She quickly stuck out her tongue, then went over and hugged Baochai's arm: "That sarcastic comment was also sarcastic to us. We are two sisters, who makes the second sister our sister?"
I’ve been a little busy during this period and haven’t written much. I hope I’ll be busy soon.
