Chapter two hundred and seventy-ninth to the Grange
Xu Shuo had no official position and no position. Wang was an ordinary woman of no grade. After seven days of being held, the funeral was held. Pangpang and Zhuangzhuang had some diarrhea, and Chen Danxia stayed at home to take care of them. Sun Zhenniang held a baby girl wearing a mourning clothes and wrapped in a white swaddled clothes and sent Wang out of the city.
Maybe it's because the mother and daughter are in love. The little baby girl who has been very well-behaved these days and is not very crying, burst into tears. Sun Zhenniang patted her gently and coaxed her softly. Slowly, the little baby girl stopped crying, and tears were hanging on her fat little face. Sun Zhenniang took a veil and wiped it away gently. The poor child, as soon as he was born, had no biological mother, and I don't know what would happen in the future?
Wang was buried in peace, and the Xu family took down the white banner, demolished the mourning hall, and life continued. Chen Danxia had two sons to take care of the baby girl named Yue'er by Mrs. Xu. Yue'er was mostly taken care of by Sun Zhenniang. Peng Xin murmured, "I can't give birth to someone else's child, so I'll take someone else's child as a treasure."
After hearing this, Sun Zhenniang didn't care. Later, the weather became colder and she was afraid that Yue'er would be frozen, so she told Mrs. Xu that she wanted Yue'er to move to the Li Shiyuan to take care of her nearby. Mrs. Xu looked at her with complicated eyes, sighed inwardly, and said, "Brother Shuo is a man, careless and can't take care of the children. Yue'er will be left to you to raise."
"Thank you grandmother." Sun Zhenniang was overjoyed and returned to the Lioshiyuan to pack up the East Cluster Courtyard to live in Yue'er. She also provided her with the people who served her and raised her niece like a daughter.
When the Xia Yuan Festival came, war reports came from the southwest border. Five small villages adjacent to the Southern Myanmar Kingdom had been looted by the Southern Myanmar army. Fifty thousand Southern Myanmar troops forced into southern Yunnan, and southern Yunnan was in a hurry. The emperor immediately dispatched troops and generals. The Marquis of Yongning led the order to go to war. His eldest son, the Marquis of Yongning, was the vanguard and rushed to southern Yunnan.
When the army advanced halfway, war reports came from the border that southern Yunnan had been captured. The garrison of southern Yunnan was killed in battle, and the body was hung on the wall. The Southern Burmese army massacred the people in southern Yunnan and burned the city to ruins. The Southern Burmese army abandoned the southern Yunnan city and headed straight for the central Yunnan city.
The person who is most anxious is Mrs. Xiangqing Hou. Her eldest son Zhao Chengzhi, whom she valued the most, is now in the city of Yunnan. Thinking that his son might encounter an unexpected accident, Mrs. Xiangqing Hou couldn't help but blame Zhao Hou. If it weren't for the Zhao Hou's intention, the Zhao family would not let Zhao Chengzhi go to the remote places in central Yunnan in any case, and would definitely let him go to the rich places in the south to recover from his wounds.
The wife of the Marquis of Xiangqing felt hatred in her heart, and it was revealed in front of the Marquis of Xiangqing. Xiangqing comforted her and said, "You are the one who is sincere and Xiang Jimin, I am afraid you have been away from central Yunnan to avoid disasters, so you don't need to worry."
"I can't rest assured if I don't see anyone." Mrs. Xiangqing Hou sighed.
"I have sent someone to central Yunnan." Xiangqing Hou revealed.
Mrs. Xiangqing Hou then smiled and said, "It's a matter of trouble for the master."
"Zhengzhi is my eldest son, so it is only natural to worry about him." Xiangqing Hou said with a smile.
The journey from Jindu in central Yunnan is long, and the army besieged the city there has little impact on Jindu, and life is as calm as before. On October 22, the Southern Burmese army arrived outside the city of central Yunnan, but they did not attack the city, but set up camp outside the south gate.
After three days of rest, the Southern Myanmar army began to attack the city, and the soldiers and civilians in central Yunnan rose up to fight against the enemy. After dawn, the Southern Myanmar army failed to attack the city and continued to camp outside the city to nourish their strength. The defender of the Central Yunnan city personally went up to the city wall last night and commanded the enemy. Unfortunately, he was shot into the chest by arrows and was unconscious.
The defender of the Central City of Yunnan was Zhao Chengzhi's cousin, Zhao Chengzhi took charge of the military power for his uncle. As night fell, the Southern Burmese army attacked the city again. Zhao Chengzhi saw that the Southern Burmese army had fought attributable wars, attacking the city again and again, and crushing the defenders of the Central City of Yunnan to death. If this continues, he is afraid that the central Yunnan will be captured before the reinforcements arrive.
At dawn, the next time the Southern Burmese Army retreated outside the city, Zhao Chengzhi was wearing armor and stood on the city wall, looking at the enemy camp outside the city with a cold eyes. He had to find a way to resolve the trap in the middle of Yunnan as soon as possible. Perhaps he had to use the group of people given to him by the King of Yan.
It started to rain heavily in the evening, and it was as dark as ink. I couldn't see my five fingers. Zhao Chengzhi sent his confidant people to secretly leave the city from the tunnel, heading to Dianshan outside the city to contact the people lurking there. Four days later, Zhao Chengzhi stood on the city wall and saw the black smoke rising not far away. He knew that the plan was done, opened the city gate and led the guards into the enemy camp.
The fire broke out in the rear of the Southern Myanmar army, and they fought in panic, lost the opportunity and affected their morale. Just then, the vanguard battalion led by Yan Jintian had arrived and joined the battle. The Southern Myanmar army was beaten to pieces and fled in a hurry, and the city of Yunnan was relieved.
The news of the victory reached Jindu. The emperor was overjoyed and ordered the army to pursue the victory and to massacre the invading enemy forces to comfort the innocent and dead people in southern Yunnan. The Marquis of Yongning was also angry at the bloody methods of the Southern Myanmar Army and led the army to encircle and block the Southern Myanmar Army. He killed 10,000 enemies outside the abandoned Southern Yunnan City and captured the left deputy general of the Southern Myanmar Army alive.
The good news spread to Jindu again, and the rewards entered the Xiangqing Marquis Mansion and Yongning Marquis Mansion; the Marquis of Yongning Marquis took out a few things and asked someone to send them to the Xu Mansion to Shen Danxia. If his daughter was not around, then let's treat her daughter's sister-in-law as her daughter.
After taking the things from Mrs. Yongning Hou, Shen Danxia also returned the gift, which was some fresh fruits and vegetables sent from the village. Peng's family had a dowry near Hantao Mountain Villa. Because it was close to hot springs, the farmers used the power of nature to plant off-season crops, which were fresher and more natural than those grown in greenhouses.
"A few days later, will you take you and your son to the farm to have fun? Suck in the hot springs and eat wild game." Xu Lang asked Shen Danxia, who was lying in his arms.
"Are you free?" Shen Danxia asked with a raised eyebrows.
"It's winter, there's nothing big about the yamen. I've taken seven days off." Xu Lang also knew that he was too busy recently and neglected his wife and wanted to make up for one or two.
"That's great. Pangpang Zhuangzhuang will definitely be happy when she knows it." Shen Danxia said with a smile.
"Are you unhappy?" Xu Lang asked with Shen Danxia's chin.
Shen Danxia glanced at him charmingly and said, "Didn't you say that you have a good understanding of me? Don't you know if I am happy?"
Xu Lang smiled and pecked her cherry lips, "It would be a bit wild to ask someone to prepare some barbecue at that time."
"Very good." Shen Danxia smiled.
The next day, Shen Danxia told the two little guys the good news, and made the two little guys so excited that they were in a position of being packed up and moving, which made Shen Danxia laugh and cry.
A few days later, we were going to go to the village. It was just dawn. The two little guys got up without the husband calling. They ignored the obstruction of Fu Pozi and others, and patted the door and shouted: "Dad, mom, get up."
Last night, although Shen Danxia did not have a good relationship with Xu Langhuan, she was used to being lazy and would not get up until Chen Shizheng. Even if she woke up, she would have to stay in bed for a while. She was woken up by her son and rolled her eyes under the warm quilt. "These two naughty kids."
Xu Lang lifted the quilt and got out of bed, "I'll take them to Danhuaiyuan to practice swordsmanship, you can sleep for a while."
"I won't sleep anymore. I'm going to go out later. I'd better get up and clean up, so as not to be too late, and those two little ancestors will make trouble again." Chen Danxia signaled Xu Lang to bring the cotton cloak that was placed on the rack.
Xu Lang went out, took the two little guys to Danhuaiyuan. The two little guys seemed to follow their father, holding wooden swords and gestured. They were really tiger fathers without dog sons.
Because he took the two little guys out for a trip, the servants brought more servants, and the carriage was also prepared. The family of four sat inside, not crowded at all. Pangpang sat on the soft pad in the middle of the car, fiddling with his little toys, and Xu Lang sat next to him to protect him.
In mid-winter, the weather is cold and it is still early, and the streets seem deserted, with few pedestrians, and there are several stalls selling breakfast. Chen Danxia lifted the curtain and looked out. Brain, who was sitting in her arms, was curious and looked at it, "Eat bags, eat bags."
The car passed by a stall selling buns. Zhuangzhuang saw it sharply. The foodie was salivating. Chen Dan smiled and raised his eyebrows to look at the man opposite him, saying, "Third Master, your second master wants to eat buns, go and buy it."
"Yes." Xu Lang opened the car door a little and called someone to buy buns. After buying the buns, Chen Danxia stuffed one for each of his sons and asked them to hold them and chew them.
The carriage drove out of the city gate, and the scenery gradually changed. There were trees with dead leaves hanging in the near distance, and there were uninhabited wastelands, with half-human-high yellow weeds. As the wind blew, the carriage was moving forward smoothly, and the sun was getting brighter and the farm arrived.
The land is flat and cold-resistant vegetables are planted. A stream flows through the village, shining brightly in the winter. Because Xu Lang ordered people to say hello in advance, so when the carriage arrived outside the village, the head of the village, who had been waiting for a long time, led a few officials to greet him, "Please treat me to the third master and the third grandma!"
"Zhang Zhuangtou, don't be too polite, have the things in the farm be arranged?" Changsui Du An asked Zhang Jinen, who looked full of smiles.
"The house has prepared hot water and food. Although it is not as exquisite as the house, it is better than wild game. The third master and the third grandma and the two young masters can taste it." Zhang Jinen said with a smile.
Duan nodded with satisfaction, "It's great. I came to the shop just to eat some wild game."
The main house of Zhuangzi is a two-entry yard with two cross-yards, and behind it is an exquisite three-story building; Xu Lang saw Chen Danxia staring at the building and smiled and said, "Next to the building is the Tangchi Pavilion, and there are two Tangchis built inside, so it is very convenient for you to soak in the spring."
"Then let's live in the building these few days." Chen Danxia said with a smile.
Xu Lang brought her here just to make her happy, without any objection. The servants immediately moved their things in, lit incense, and burned the stove. Pang Pang Zhuang got up early in the morning, and was sleepy now, and yawned with his mouth open. Chen Danxia asked the wet nurse to take the two into the house to sleep. She pulled Xu Lang excitedly and wandered around the main house.
"Don't go and take a break?" Xu Lang asked.
"I'm not tired." Chen Danxia said with a smile. I don't know if it was stuck at home for too long or if it was rare for Xu Lang to accompany her on a trip. Chen Danxia was happy physically and mentally, and did not feel tired at all, "San Ye, what is on the hillside?"
Xu Lang looked at it and said, "Permaceutical."
"The persimmons that are frosted are delicious. Third Master, let's pick persimmons." Chen Danxia picked up his skirt and walked towards the hillside. He said it would do his best.
Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, waved his hand and asked someone to stay. He walked a few steps, chased Chen Danxia, took her hand, and walked towards the hillside. The mountain path was winding, and there were soil and gravels. Xu Lang was afraid that Chen Danxia would step on it and stalked, so he carefully kicked the slightly larger stone with his feet and went to the dead grass beside the path.
A cunning light flashed in Chen Danxia's eyes, deliberately stepping on the stones scattered on the road to tease Xu Lang. Xu Lang was a little busy at first, but later she showed her intentions and did not expose them. She still cooperated with her. When she was about to step on the stone, she kicked the stone away and played with it. The couple walked under the persimmon tree.
"San Master, it depends on your performance." Chen Danxia pointed to the few persimmons that were slightly shaking in the cold wind on the tree, looking forward to the authenticity.
Xu Lang learned self-defense skills, and the skills of fighting on the battlefield were not the same as those of the people in the martial arts world. He didn't know how to do light skills. He put his robe on his belt and was about to climb a tree. Looking at the persimmon hanging high on the persimmon tree, Chen Danxia was inexplicably panicked and stepped forward to hug him, "I don't want persimmons anymore."
"Why?" Xu Lang asked in confusion. Isn't it because of these persimmons that climbed up, but why did he wait under the tree but he didn't want it? Women's heart, is it a needle under the sea?
"The tree is too high, you climb up, what if you fall down?" Chen Danxia didn't want him to be in danger.
"You underestimate your husband too much." Xu Lang shaved her nose, "Wait, I'll help you pick the persimmons later."
"I said, I won't eat persimmons. Let's go. My son should wake up. This is not a familiar place. If you can't see us, they will cry." Chen Danxia forced Xu Lang to walk down the mountain, and the couple walked for a walk.
However, Chen Danxia still ate the persimmons. Xu Lang ordered the people in the village to pick the persimmons with the wooden ladder and send them to Chen Danxia.
"Empress." Two little greedy cats stared at the persimmon and swallowed their saliva.
"You just drank milk, so you can't eat persimmons." Chen Danxia remembered that milk cannot be eaten with persimmons.
The two little greedy cats pouted, and Chen Danxia signaled Mo Shi to take the persimmons down, "Mom is with you, and I won't eat them, so that's good?"
Seeing that the fat and sturdy bear were still greedy, Xu Lang frowned slightly and said, "Xu Junyan, Xu Junyan, go outside."
Chen Danxia asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Tell them the truth." Xu Lang said seriously.
Be reasonable?
Chen Danxia frowned, but he looked like he wanted to beat someone up like this; the adopted son was unfilial to his father, although these two little guys were less than two years old, they had a tendency toward naughty children, so they had to discipline them well; however, was Chen Danxia a kind mother's heart or a little bit of a favor, "They are still young, can you be gentle with reason?"
Xu Lang coughed lightly and said, "I am their real father."
Chen Danxia also knew that he was a person of sensibility, so he didn't say much, so he let him take the two little guys down to reason; Mo Shi brought the persimmon back, and Chen Danxia ate the persimmons with clean hands.

Note: An ignorant old man cut the communication optical cable for twenty meters, and then a large piece of the internet was broken in the place where I lived, from last evening to now. My physical condition was not allowed to run around to search for the internet. I could only wait until now, and it was too late, hey.
