Elder brother Tuan became more sensible, and asked Mama Cui to wait and teach over and over again. He often looked curiously at his mother's bulging belly, but stopped rushing to hug him, and only touched it gently with his chubby little hand.
I just had an afternoon snack this day, Ming Lan was about to walk along the corridor, who knew Gu Tingye came back with a big laugh, and called out to welcome the guests. Ming Lan was strange, so she dressed up and sat in a sedan chair and let him arrive. Looking in front of the hall, it was the Shi brothers and Sanniang Che who hadn't seen them for a long time.
Actually, a few years ago, only a few words were said on the river at night, Ming Lan can remember so clearly, it is really that boss Shi's rapier beard is too eye-catching. Che Sanniang is quite rich. Although her skin is still a bit rough, her brows stretch happily and she looks like a wealthy wife.
Seeing Gu Tingye coming out, Shi Keng hurriedly punched his younger brother. The two brothers knelt down and saluted. Sanniang Che bowed deeply at the side Fu. Gu Tingye strode forward, grabbing the two brothers, and laughed: "My brother, what are the rules!"
Ming Lan also held her belly and smiled and said, "Sister Che hurry up and sit down by herself. I'm being lazy, so I won't come to invite." She also called Xiao Tao Lvzhi to watch the snacks.
Cha Sanniang did not change her temper, thanked her happily, smiled and pushed her husband, and the three of them were seated. The couple was generous, but Shi Qiang was young and skinny, and she came here at first sight. In the soft land, always blushing, bowed his head, and said nothing. When Lvzhi served him tea, he didn't know where his eyes were looking and almost missed it.
Although I haven't seen it for a long time, Ming Lan is no stranger to the Shi family brothers and Cha Sanniang. Gu Tingye's former subordinates send New Year gifts from the south every year, and the Shi family is always indispensable. The case is especially heavier than the others.
With soft hands, I was really happy to see Gu Tingye again. Minglan greeted her with extra politeness. After saying a few words of daily life, she pulled the car into the soft sedan chair and went all the way to the inner courtyard flower hall to talk and eat tea, and leave the man outside We talk to ourselves.
In the past few years, Minglan learned that since Gu Tingye and the boss, the Shi brothers have risen, and they have successively closed the water transportation business from Jianghuai and the Inland River to Longxi Pass.
"Thanks to Lord Gu, we now have a stable meal, so we don't have to beg for living in the wind and rain." After saying that, Sanniang Che called the old name again and heard Minglan thank her When giving the gift, he hurriedly said, "This is what it should be! If there is no Lord Hou guarding his head, how can we have a good day today!"
"The smooth transportation of water is a good thing for the country and the people, and Master Hou is not all for you." Minglan smiled, "No matter how good Master Hou is, he can't take care of it everywhere. Do you have today? It’s hard to earn money."
Gu Tingye couldn't give them a sacred decree, and let them go all over the place to show their prestige. Anyone who does the salt water business has no backing. In many cases, the Shi brothers have the skills.
Che Sanniang was moved in her heart and wiped her tears: "With Mrs. Gu's words, we will follow Master Gu all our lives."
She has a bright temper and can't be sentimental for a few seconds. Then she pressed the corners of her eyes, looked at Minglan, and smiled, "Madam and Lord Hou are really made in heaven. Back then..." She laughed first.
I remembered that night of several years, the river was cold and windy, and a huge fire ignited on the wide river surface. The flames rushed into the dark night sky. I was half frozen in the water. I had a chance to wear it back. Who knew I was caught by the car. Mother rescued the boat.
"...I didn't expect...today." I called my second uncle at the beginning, and now I am a husband. They have all heard of it with their own ears. Minglan felt embarrassed, "Yes. I have never thanked my sister Che for her life-saving grace."
Che Sanniang couldn't bear it, she laughed directly, winking her eyes and said: "Thank me for what happened, Hou Ye's is like asking Man Jiang to find someone. I'm anxious for that silly man in my house, and say you are' The niece’ must be grandpa Gu’s relatives, let’s work harder, don’t let the child freeze in the water. Ha ha...Who knows that when I got it out, she was a pretty girl... Ha ha... I just said Yes, that's how uncles look at nieces!"
Ming Lan had a fever on her face, and she whispered: "The relatives in the corner who hurled around, I screamed, but it was not..." Few people in the world have heard of her called Gu Tingye's'Second Uncle'. Still ran into it, and the Skynet was restored!
Cha Sanniang used to look at people's winks, seeing that she was almost joking, and she was afraid that Minglan was really ashamed, so she hurriedly stopped the topic and talked about her children. She took it out, and Sanniang Che liked it. She stuffed a bulging purse over, praised and praised, and finally sighed, "...I'm just a girl, it's better for my wife."
Minglan said: "My sister is still young, and she will definitely be able to give birth to a fat boy."
Che Sanniang waved his hand openly and smiled: "In her early life, she had a difficult life. She hurt her body. She almost died when she gave birth to a girl. The doctor said, I can't have another child."
Seeing Minglan's unbearable expression on her face, she smiled and persuaded: "I'm fortunate, his father doesn't dislike him. He just said that after the brother begs his wife, he will give birth to him seventeen or eight. Just put the incense on the stove."
Ming Lan laughed and said, "It's all from my own family. The Shi family's eldest brother is a sincere person. This is the best." She had heard Gu Tingye say that the Shi family's parents died early, Shi Qiang Brought up by the eldest brother, although the two are brothers, they are more like father and son.
Thinking that Sanniang Che was young and lonely and wandering, she finally got a good home, Minglan sighed softly, and said softly: "...sister take care of her body, I will be lucky in the future. Remember that year on the ship, Shijia The eldest brother also said that I want to make good-looking cut silk clothes for my sister."
Cha Sanniang touched her sleeves, with a smooth and dense touch, vividly embroidered with magpies on the branches, she couldn't help but sighed with a smile: "That foolish silly man, now I want to wear carved silk clothes every day. I'm not afraid to say something. If the girl laughs..." She lowered her voice, "The silk material looks good at this moment, but I think it's better to make cotton clothes comfortable."
Recalling that later generations admired natural pure cotton fabrics, they wanted to buy coarse linen specially, Ming Lan held her sleeves and laughed happily.
At night, Minglan invited Shao to dinner with Sanniang Che; he also asked someone to set up a simple banquet outside. The Shi brothers, Gu Tingye, and the old man Gongsun all had a drink together.
The four of them were drinking and chatting. Gu Tingye didn't return to the house until late at night, and found Ming Lan leaning on the bedside reading a book. Gu Tingye quickly took off her chilly coat and rubbed her hands before leaning over, "Why don't you sleep? I hurt my body carefully."
Ming Lan sat up lazily and smiled: "Sixai has been asleep for a while."
The man stroked his wife’s soft hair and said softly: "It’s all my fault, so you can’t sleep well."
Ming Lan did not answer, she opened her big and bright eyes, and said quietly: "...When are you leaving?"
Gu Tingye stiffened, and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid you are worried. I want to tell you later. I didn't think you guessed it yourself."
It’s not hard to guess-the husband comes home every night and eats supper for dinner. He doesn’t touch the floor when he’s busy. The emperor's military parade is getting more and more diligent. Uncle Shen is almost living in the barracks, although he has a baby. She has never gone out, but she can still feel the change in the atmosphere from Beijing Chengcheng to the families of the military generals.
"How did the emperor choose to use soldiers at this time? It's freezing cold and it's going to be the New Year." Minglan pouted, dissatisfied.
Gu Tingye let her lean in her arms, rest her chin on top of her head, and whispered: "Let’s go to Longxi first to gather troops and prepare a little bit. After the midwinter, the grassland is short of food, it should be Ji Nu At the time of looting, let’s guard one step earlier, send a few troops, and take advantage of Jinu’s inability to get out, and we can catch it all in one go."
Minglan said nothing.
The imperial army is like a regular army, and the Jinu is like a guerrilla. These bandits and bandits took advantage of the army to retreat and looted the people outside the customs, and the imperial army could not stay at the border forever. The most difficult thing to do is to capture the decisive battle. The main force of the guerrillas.
"Brothers from the Shi family are going to Beijing this time, are there any errands?" she asked. How can anyone come to the north near winter.
Gu Tingye nodded, "Take advantage of the fact that the inland river is not frozen, so I hurriedly called for the grain and grass to be sent there. The official boat is not enough."
Minglan touched her belly-the due date is May next year. She is very sad, but she can't ask her husband to ask for leave from her boss. She can only say in a low voice: "...When will you be back?"
This time I responded with a deep sigh, and the man's tone was bitter: "If it's fast, in March and April next year, if it's slow, I don't know...If I haven't returned, you can only give birth by yourself."
Ming Lan chuckled and laughed: "Nonsense. If I don't give birth to myself, you can still help me give birth!"
After saying this, she suddenly doubled her courage. Isn't it because her husband is not around to give birth to children? What's so great, she treats herself as a military sister-in-law (Mother Yao said she would never agree), and her husband went to the border!
She straightened her back, put one hand on his chest, and said each word: "Just three sentences. First, don't be greedy, there is no shortage of you in the family to be appointed as a judge; second, come back safely, don't give Lack of hands and short feet; third..."
She said bitterly: "Don't mess with flowers, bring me back an alien princess, dead general girl or something, let me spare you!"
Gu Tingye put Minglan in his arms and laughed loudly. The loud laughter shook the window lattice, which was very infiltrating in the middle of the night, and the woman who was watching the night woke up and looked at each other.
