Chapter 649 Family
After the New Year, Shao Xun turned thirty. This fact caused a subtle change in his mentality.
It’s outrageous to say that I was twenty-nine years old a few days ago. I didn’t think it was a big deal at the time. But now that I know that I am already in my thirties, I suddenly feel a sense of urgency, so much so that after the rooster crows, I Can't sleep - wait, where did the rooster crow come from?
Shao Xun sat up speechlessly.
Liang Palace is still desolate, with no walls and gate towers. There is no door on the gatehouse yet. After exiting the empty gatehouse, there are troops stationed outside. There are chickens and ducks nearby...
"Would you like to sleep a little longer?" A pair of jade arms wrapped around his waist.
Shao Xun lay back, covered the quilt tightly, and held Pei Lingyan's soft body in his arms.
"In the past, when I was in the army, Diao Dou was a strict police officer and stayed up all night. Aren't you also at ease? Why have you been so anxious these past two days?" The woman asked, tapping his frowning eyebrows lightly.
Shao Xun relaxed his brows and said, "It's just a temporary feeling."
The woman looked into his eyes, seeming to be looking for the source of his anxiety.
Xu Shi searched for a long time but couldn't find it, so he adjusted his posture, snuggled tightly into his arms, and said: "Sometimes things in the world seem unsolvable, but in a daze, they fall into place. In fact, there is no need to be in such a hurry. You Impatient, isn't Liu Cong even more impatient? Your achievements are already great, even the nobles have to kneel down, so why worry?"
"Liu Cong..." Shao Xun pondered. Down, Tao.
"Liu Cong has been frightened by you." Pei Lingyan breathed into his ear and said softly: "There are only two things he has done in the past two or three years. He wants to avoid you. He is so sharp and unwilling to let you gain momentum. If he hesitates like this, he is obviously in trouble. If he gives him one or two more blows, he may not be able to hold on anymore. Or is it not Liu Cong you are worried about? ”
Shao Xun’s hands tightened.
"I am a loser too." Pei Lingyan said softly.
Shao Xun hummed.
To this day, how could the biggest enemy be the Huns?
After the ownership of Hebei was decided, it was no longer the case.
The biggest enemy comes from within. They were very close to him, so close that there was no distance.
Hua Nu is really a very smart woman.
"You need prestige to do some things." Pei Lingyan said: "I am a woman, you are the only one I can rely on, and I only think about you. Our children also rely on you."
Shao Xun relaxed completely, and put his hands on He grabbed his butt a few times, patted it gently, and said, "You can sleep a little longer, I'll get up and practice martial arts."
"I won't sleep anymore." Pei Lingyan also sat down. He got up and said: "I want to wash it."
There are still dried lumps left between the legs last night, which is a bit uncomfortable and the smell is a bit strong.
After Shao Xun came outside, the cool air refreshed his mind.
After practicing martial arts for a while, I felt refreshed.
It was still dark at this time, and Shao Xun walked to the side hall where his mother-in-law lived.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Fu Bao wearing Huasheng on his head, squatting in the corner.
"Fu Bao, what are you doing?" Shao Xun looked amused and asked.
"I am a flower and I can't speak." Fu Bao said seriously.
The Huasheng on her head was cut into a flower shape, looking from a distance, it looked like a blooming peony.
"Come here, let me hug you." Shao Xun stretched out his hand and said.
"I am a flower." Fu Bao insisted.
Shao Xun shook his head and laughed, and said: "Here comes the vegetable soup."
Fu Bao sniffed and looked a little moved. It seemed that he didn't want to continue to be a flower.
“Here comes the vegetable soup.” Mother Liu said with a smile while holding the dinner plate.
The maids followed nervously, neither persuading nor persuading.
The old man just likes to cook by himself, especially when his son is at home.
Father Shao Xiu came out of the room, looked at his son whom he saw less than a few times throughout the year, and said, "What's going on in your heart?"
Shao Xun smiled, Said: "The ancients said that 'at thirty', it's time to do something."
Shao Xiu was silent for a while and said, "Come in and talk."
The father and son then sat at a high table.
My mother brought the vegetable soup and complained: "There was no war last year, and I was not home for a few days throughout the year. I relied on Wenjun to accompany me. I went home a year ago, but I was drunk most of the time. Really. I don’t know how you, Xiaolian, got promoted.”
Shao Xun was a little embarrassed.
In this world, the only people in the world who can scold him so mercilessly are probably his parents.
With increasing power, there are fewer and fewer people who can speak.
He has become accustomed to telling lies without sincerity, drawing pie-in-the-sky pie, and guessing other people's thoughts.
But in the eyes of his parents, he is just a "little insect", no matter you become Liang Gong or Liang Wang.
"Didn't you scold Shi Le before? You said he didn't worship the morning and evening. In my opinion, you went further than Shi Le." Mrs. Liu continued to scold.
Fu Bao slipped in quietly and climbed up Shao Xun's thigh.
Shao Xun put down the bowls and chopsticks, held his daughter in his arms to prevent her from moving, and said, "Auntie, have you read the call for help?" "That's right." Mr. Liu said, "Wen Jun comes here twice a day, not to mention filial piety and integrity, it's enough for a scholar."
Fu Bao also laughed, not knowing what he was having fun with.
This little kid stays with his grandparents every day, and sometimes stays overnight, which makes them very happy.
In addition, Yu Wenjun may not be too sensitive in politics, but he has nothing to say about taking care of his aunt. He is a traditional good wife and mother.
“Every time there is a war, you steal other people’s wives. Have you become stupid after too many wars? I heard that Zhang Fang likes to eat human flesh, and Gou Xi got thousands of women for himself. What do you think? ?" Mrs. Liu came over, picked up Fu Bao, and pushed the bowl in front of Shao Xun.
"Are you warriors all this virtuous?" Mrs. Liu pushed Shao Xiu again and asked.
Shao Xiu was also dumbfounded.
How come you are reprimanding your son and talking about him?
"Aniang has heard a lot in the past few years." Shao Xun took the bowl and ate happily.
Shao Xiu finished eating before him, picked up the tea bowl and rinsed his mouth, then sat there.
"After you snatch it back, treat them well." Mrs. Liu said: "You are thirty years old——"
When Mrs. Liu said this, she sighed and said nothing more. . My son is thirty years old and has built a huge territory.
She is not very clear about her son's current status. She only knows that the famous daughter Wang of Langya in Xuzhou often comes to accompany her.
But to be honest, among the women with so many sons, her favorite is Yu Wenjun.
Wenjun's heart is full of bugs and his eyes are full of bugs. He loves the house as much as under the crow, and he is also very good to them.
Sometimes she can't sit still, tending some fruits. Wenjun sees her and often comes to help.
Ms. Pei also has a son in her eyes, but she doesn't know how to do these things.
The Sheep Queen was very polite and polite in her words. She gave them a lot of precious medicinal materials to replenish their health, and also invited famous doctors to treat them. But after all, she was still like a noble lady and was not very close to them.
Ms. Liu knew that he had no bad intentions, and even wanted to please the old couple. However, their backgrounds were so different after all, so it was still a bit awkward.
Liu Ye, who just gave birth to a daughter a few years ago, is a straightforward person, which suits the Liu family very well.
Ms. Liu also felt pity for her. The good Dr. Shi Le was snatched back home by Xiao Chong, a murderer with a thousand cuts, and she was forced to become a concubine.
I don’t know what kind of spell was cast on me, but now I am focused on following Xiaochong. When I was pregnant, I helped them make salty snacks and asked about Xiaochong's past.
What a sin! In fact, they are all good women, and the worst ones are bugs.
“I won’t rob him anymore.” Shao Xun finished eating the vegetable soup, rinsed his mouth, and said, “Auntie, I am already Duke Liang after all, with tens of thousands of powerful soldiers in hand. Under orders, no one can Those who don’t follow?”
Ms. Liu rolled her eyes at him and said, “When you become Liang Gong, you have to keep a straight face all day long, pretending to be dignified? Did my mother-in-law tell you this when you were a child? What about the story of Han Gao meeting Liu Taigong?"
Shao Xun was speechless.
All Liu Bang's stories are widely circulated around Xuzhou.
In fact, this is not bad.
Liu Bang never engaged in any red tape with his father. Taigong Liu was a farmer. He was getting older and was not very used to these things. The two parties still got along with each other on the old father-son relationship. He even named his father the Supreme Emperor because he would not salute him.
In order to make his father happy, he moved all his old neighbors here so that his father could see the lively scene in his hometown instead of the deserted palace.
This is a humane emperor. Perhaps only the founding emperor can laugh and curse like this. The emperor who defends the throne cannot learn from it.
My parents didn't seem to take him seriously - it was heartbreaking.
My father fought in the war and went out to see the world. Having been in the military for most of my life, I have a deep understanding of power. After all, the military itself is the most hierarchical place. Therefore, his attitude towards himself has actually changed slightly, because he understands.
My mother didn’t quite understand, but she still habitually scolded him. She may not be able to adapt to the rich life, just like Liu Taigong, who likes to grow vegetables in the imperial garden...
Whether it's this way or this way, Shao Xun doesn't want to quarrel with others all day long and be scolded by his mother. After a few words, my mood actually became more comfortable, which was amazing.
After the mother talked for a while, she took her somewhat impatient granddaughter out to get some air.
Shao Xiu came to life, cleared his throat, and asked: "Are you going to fight again?"
"Yeah." Shao Xun nodded.
"Who else can make you worry now?" Shao Xiu asked.
He had participated in the Battle of Pingwu and was no stranger to battle formations.
When Shao Xun was in charge of Liang County, he once took away all the capable soldiers. Shao's father asked people to find armor, swords and guns, and almost went into battle to guard the rear.
In his opinion, as long as his son doesn't act randomly, it won't be a problem to eliminate the enemies one by one.
What is he worried about?
“It’s just a small matter.” Shao Xun said with a smile: “I always feel that the enemy is inside but not outside.”
Shao Xiu was silent when he heard this.
After a long time, he said: "Did you know that your uncle became the team leader very early?"
"Oh? I don't know how early?" Shao Xungan asked with interest.
"It was very early." Shao Xiu said: "Probably in his early twenties, I can't remember clearly. He was also a skilled archer and horseman back then. Who in the country has never heard of his name? He became the leader of the team early, and then ——Until you sent someone back to pick him up, he was still the team leader. He was not as lucky as you, but it was hard to say. What about the team leader and the building leader? When they lined up to fight, thousands of arrows were fired. It was gone in the blink of an eye.”
Shao Xun didn’t know what to say.
"So -" Shao Xiu looked at him and said seriously: "Do you know how much kindness you have in letting Wu Ren be promoted? When you used to live in Liang County, you often went to Wu Ren's house. Sit down. How many years have you been away now?"
Shao Xun was silent.
"Listen to their thoughts." Shao Xiu stood up and said, "If you listen more, you won't worry."
A carriage drove up outside the side hall.
Yu Wenjun walked down slowly with the support of the maid. When he saw Shao Xun, his eyes lit up and he said: "Husband."
Shao Xun walked over and pulled her He held up his hand and said, "I'm pregnant for more than seven months. Let's have a good rest at home."
"Come and see my uncle." Hearing Shao Xun's concerned words, Yu Wenjun narrowed his eyes happily and said : "On the road just now, the child turned over and scared me."
Shao Xun went over to listen to see if there was any movement. Yu Wenjun was so ashamed that he raised his hand and hit him.
Shao Xun laughed.
Staying with your family not only makes you feel cheerful, but also cures the warrior's disease caused by the long war.
"Don't come again tomorrow. I can't afford to make a mistake." Shao Xun took Yu Wenjun's hand and said, "When I return from the expedition, I can see my son."
"When will your husband go to war?" Yu Wenjun was a little unhappy.
"It's past the first lunar month." Shao Xun said.
Yu Wenjun said oh.
"You can raise your baby at home. My son has to inherit such a big empire." Shao Xun said again.
Yu Wenjun raised his head and looked at his husband, feeling much better.
Shao Xun raised his head and looked at the sky filled with lead-gray clouds.
He thought of Hua Nu’s words, he needs prestige, the more the better.
Family is just a stop for him when he is tired. He can enjoy it comfortably but cannot indulge in it.
It was time to go out and do some activities this year. He turned his head and looked north.
