[Chapter 2048 Yan Wushuang Fanwai (3)]
On the road, there is a girlfriend who can’t stop talking, and time flies very fast. Feeling swish, I arrived at Shengjing.
After entering the city, Mrs. Zhang held Mrs. Miao’s hand and said, “Sister, if you’re not busy, bring Awan to the mansion to play.” It felt like there was still more to say.
Miao nodded with a smile and said, “Okay.” On the way, I got many photos of Zhang’s Buddha, and the journey was much faster, arriving several days earlier than expected.
In Shengjing City, it is not allowed to gallop on horseback. After the Zhang family and the Miao family were separated, Yan Wushuang got into the carriage.
Zhang Shi smiled and said, “Wu Shuang, what do you think of A Wan?” The more she looked at this child, the more she liked it. Not only looks good, but also has a good temperament.
“Not much.” They heard tiger roars when they were sleeping in the suburbs at night. The tiger was not sure how far away from them, but the girl started crying when she heard the sound.
That’s fine, but when he hunted a rabbit and a roe deer and went back to eat the girl, her eyes were red and she said she was pitiful. This wild thing is not just for people to eat, there is nothing pitiful.
Zhang Shi said angrily, “How do you talk like a child?” If this temper is not changed, no girl will like it when she grows up.
Yan Wushuang said unhappily: “It’s not very good at first. I’m timid and cowardly, and when I have the guts to fight in Tongcheng, I can’t hide in bed crying every day in fear.”
In getting along along the way, Mrs. Zhang really likes the caring and sensible Ah Wan. Therefore, the idea of letting Ah Wan assign Yan Wushuang to be her daughter-in-law also came into being. But after hearing what Yan Wushuang said, she gave up. It would be fine if ordinary people were less timid, but theirs were not suitable.
The son of the Yan family, unless he was born unable to practice martial arts, he would have to go to the battlefield. Being the daughter-in-law of the Yan family requires not only courage but also perseverance.
Zhang’s three sons, the eldest son has been married for three years but has no children, and the second son has not been married yet.
Fortunately, Yan Wushuang didn’t know what Zhang was thinking, otherwise he would have to jump up.
Back in Shengjing, in addition to studying with his husband, he also practiced martial arts with his master. For Yan Wushuang, this day was dull and boring. But Mr. Zhang was tightly restrained, and he was not allowed to go out at will. Now the only thing that makes him lift his spirits is the battle report ahead.
Hearing that Marshal Yan had won another battle, Yan Wushuang was overjoyed. However, after the excitement, it was full of regret: “It’s a pity that I can’t witness the majesty and heroism of my father with my own eyes.”
Mrs. Zhang glared at him and said, “Do you think fighting is fun? If you don’t practice martial arts well, you will die in battle.” She actually didn’t want her son to go to battle, but this was the fate of the Yan family man, and she couldn’t stop it.
Yan Wushuang did not dare to make Zhang Shi angry. If his father found out otherwise, he would be beaten to death when he returned to Tongcheng.
A few days later, Mrs. Miao brought A Wan over to say goodbye: “My mother has recovered from her illness, and I plan to go back tomorrow.” Miao’s mother was actually thinking about her daughter and became ill, and now that Mrs. Miao came back, her illness would naturally be cured. As for Mrs. Miao, she also misses the family affairs. So, eager to go back.
“It’s rare to come back, why don’t you stay for a while?”
Miao shook her head and said, “It’s been more than a month, and I can’t stay any longer.” She worried about her son’s poor health day and night. Now that her mother has recovered, she really feels like an arrow.
Mrs. Zhang himself is a person with children, so he can understand this anxiety: “The road is not very peaceful now, I will send someone to take you back!” The emperor knew pleasure when he was incompetent, and the imperial court increased taxes every year. Nowadays, the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes are fiercer than tigers, and the common people cannot survive.
Although Marshal Yan was the Grand Marshal of Border Town, he had 200,000 troops. But without the will of the imperial court, we cannot send troops to suppress the bandits. As for the local officials, it is good not to collude with the bandits, so don’t count on them to suppress the bandits.
Mr. Miao shook his head and said, “No need, the Miao family will send guards to escort us back.” Whether it is in Shengjing or other places, good families have hired guards to watch the house. The Miao family also kept some guards. But relatively speaking, Shengjing is much more peaceful than other places.
When Mr. Zhang heard the words, he didn’t say any more.
When Mrs Miao left, Mrs Zhang was a little reluctant: “This parting, I don’t know that we can see you in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.” She spends half of the year in Shengjing, but Mrs Miao will not return to Shengjing now that there is no major event.
Miao said with a smile, “My nephew is getting married in the spring of next year, and I will come back for the wedding.” She also wanted to stay at home for a while, but she was worried about the appearance of the child.
Hearing this, Mrs Zhang’s parting sadness dissipated a little: “Then we will meet again next year.”
No one expected that this time it would be a goodbye.
By July, the fighting intensified. The battle report is no longer the same as before. Every day is a good news. But every three days, there are battle reports. Whether it is a defeat or a victory, the news is reassuring.
But in late July, there was no news from Tongcheng for six consecutive days. Not to mention Yan Wushuang, even the Zhang family began to feel uneasy. This is the first time in twenty years since she married Marshal Yan.
On this day, Yan Wushuang couldn’t help but said to Mrs Zhang, “Mother, let me find out the news!” In the past few days, Yan Wushuang was too worried to eat or sleep.
Holding Yan Wushuang’s hand, Mrs Zhang said, “Wushuang, you can’t go anywhere, just stay at home.”
To prevent Yan Wushuang from escaping, Zhang said, “From today onwards, you are not allowed to leave the main courtyard for half a step.” If something happened to Tongcheng, Wushuang would be the last bloodline of the Yan family. Even if she dies, Wushuang can’t have an accident.
Yan Wushuang is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart: “Mother, what are you doing? Mother, I believe that Dad will definitely be able to defeat Donghu Gui and won’t let them step into Tongcheng.”
Thinking of her husband’s anxiety before returning, Mrs. Zhang was also terrified. But she is the mistress of the house, so she can’t be messed up at this time: “Mother believes in your father, but mother doesn’t believe in you. Until you get the exact news, you can stay in the yard and can’t go anywhere. Otherwise, mother won’t. recognize your son.”
Yan Wushuang has grown up and has not heard Zhang say such heavy words: “Mother, what’s wrong with you? Mother, are you hiding something from me?”
Mr. Zhang was very worried, but he didn’t dare to show it in front of Yan Wushuang, so he deliberately glared at him and said, “You have this temperament, you will cause trouble when you go out. Now you don’t know what’s going on outside, and you can’t keep up with the enemies of the Yan family. The few people have made a grudge, and if you run out, if something goes wrong, I will have no face to see your father in the future.”
Yan Wushuang is the nemesis of the playboys who bully men and women in Shengjing. These people cheered every time he left Shengjing. When he returned to Shengjing, they all huddled up and became quails. However, there are also some who are not afraid of death and continue to do evil. Then was played Wushuang to clean up, crying father and mother.
The family members of these playboys came to file a complaint, but Zhang’s protection was short, and she felt that Yan Wushuang did nothing wrong. So every time there is loud thunder and little rain.
Yan Wushuang hurriedly made a promise: “Mother, don’t worry, I will obediently wait for news at home, and will never run out.” But he muttered in his heart, his mother distrusts him too much, he is the kind of person who doesn’t know the importance of it. man! At such a time, who would run outside without permission to cause chaos in the house.
The process of waiting is the most painful. When the food was put on the table, no one had an appetite. However, Mrs Zhang still sat at the table and said to Yan Wushuang, “Eat. After we finish eating, maybe there will be good news.”
Yan Wushuang finished the meal without knowing the taste: “Mother, it’s not a problem to wait at home like this, send a few guards out to find out the news!”
Zhang sighed: “I have already sent someone out, and it is estimated that there will be news soon.” I hope that it is good news, not bad news.
If it is bad news, it will not only be a fatal blow to the Yan family. Even the whole of Liaodong will suffer.
Mrs. Zhang said to Yan Wushuang, who was standing in the yard and kept looking out: “Wushuang, accompany your mother to the garden for a walk.” She had to be steady, or else her son and the people in the house would panic even more. So no matter how worried you are, you can’t show it.
“Oh.”
As they walked, Mrs. Zhang said, “Actually, a similar situation happened to your grandfather. That battle was especially tragic. 200,000 soldiers in Tongcheng lost 140,000 and more than 30,000 were seriously injured.” The remaining three Man, there are a lot of minor injuries.
Yan Wushuang heard about this for the first time: “Mother, why haven’t I heard about this from my father?”
“That battle was too tragic. Your grandfather was seriously injured, and your second uncle and third uncle were killed. So your father never wanted to mention that battle.” For Marshal Yan, it was forever in his heart. pain.
Yan Wushuang clenched his fists and said bitterly, “Mother, one day I will kill the Donghu ghost.”
“Since your grandfather, the sons and fathers of the Yan family all hoped that the Donghu people would be wiped out. But more than fifty years have passed, the imperial court has become weaker and weaker, but the Donghu people have become stronger. Far away.” She also hoped that her son could exterminate the Donghu people, so that the Yan family would not have to shed blood and sacrifice. The women of the Yan family no longer have to worry every day.
Yan Wushuang nodded solemnly.
Mrs. Zhang felt that it was too boring to talk about this topic, and turned to some light topics: “I remember when you were born, you were only the size of a palm. At that time, your father was very worried that you would not be able to support you, so he stayed by your side every day. I didn’t expect it to be so big in a blink of an eye.” At twelve years old, he is also a big guy. In a few years, he will be a biological child.
Hearing the embarrassing things he had done when he was a child, Yan Wushuang felt a little uncomfortable.
Mrs. Zhang was about to make fun of her son when she heard the big housekeeper begging to see him.
Seeing the tears on the big housekeeper’s face, Zhang’s mind instantly went blank.
“Uncle Sheng, what happened?” In fact, Yan Wushuang already had a hunch, but he didn’t want to believe it.
The big housekeeper cried and said, “Madam, the third young master, the Donghu people broke Tongcheng, and both the marshal and the second young master died in battle.”
Yan Wushuang shouted: “Impossible, how could my father and second brother die. This must be fake, it’s the enemy’s trick.”
When Mr. Zhang heard this, he fell straight to the ground and fainted.
