The suburbs of Beijing, the palace of Xishan Beyuan County.

It was just dark, today was Chinese New Year's Eve, and red lanterns and red satin were hung inside and outside the county king's mansion, and the maids were still busy dressing up the yard for the end.

The backyard of the county king's mansion is connected to a cliff in the West Mountain, and Liu Hongjian has people to fence around the cliff and build a pavilion for his family to enjoy the cool and talk here.

"Sister, it's getting dark, we should go back to Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." Yang Xuechong was still playing with Ling Feng, Ling Xue, and Ling Yu beckoned.

Ling Feng is four years old, of course, it is also the last day of the age of four, he is seven months older than his two younger sisters, and he is a boy who is taller than his two younger sisters.

After being greeted by Erniang, Ling Feng took the little hands of his two younger sisters and trotted towards the pavilion.

Sun Xiuxiu sat on the stool in the pavilion and looked at the northwest direction, the cool breeze blew the green silk in front of her forehead, revealing her beautiful face in the moonlight, she frowned, her eyes stared into the distance and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Mother, it's cold, and my father said I won't let you blow the cold wind." Ling Feng stood in front of Sun Xiuxiu like a little adult, and urged angrily.

"Mother, hungry, Yu'er wants to eat meat, Sister Xiaobai said that there is fish tonight, as well as beef and abalone, Auntie, let's go back to dinner." Ling Yu was about to walk towards the courtyard with Yang Xue with his left hand and Sun Xiuxiu with his right hand.

"Erniang, hurry up and persuade my mother, otherwise my father will blame me again when he comes back." Ling Feng insisted.

According to the Ming system, the eldest son of the main wife does not need to call the concubine as his mother, and he can just call his aunt to the sky.

Although Liu Hong's rules are extremely relaxed, he is very persistent in the title between his wife and children, he requires the children to call their mothers, and the children are polite to Sun Xiuxiu, Yang Xue or Kun Xing in etiquette.

"Your mother, this is missing your father." Yang Xue hesitated for a moment and said softly.

She also misses her husband from afar, it has been almost half a year, and Yang Xue can't sleep when she thinks that her husband is still fighting thousands of miles away.

It's just that the three women rarely mention this topic, because once the topic turns to Liu Hongji, the conversation will stop immediately.

Sansheng is fortunate to marry such a man who stands up to the sky, Yang Xue can't wait for Liu Hongjian not to leave the county palace for a day, she doesn't have the general knowledge of Sun Xiuxiu, and she doesn't even want her husband to have such great power.

Power means responsibility and burden, and it is this responsibility that keeps their family together forever.

"Sister, when will my husband be able to unload this burden, he also promised us to take us down to Jiangnan to play! This liar! Yang Xue pouted.

Although she is a wife and a mother, Yang Xue is childish like a child a lot of the time, and Kun Xing is simply like a child, but the two daughters have children, so Sun Xiuxiu became the leader of this group, although she is only in her early twenties.

"Don't say that, husband, he doesn't want to do that." Sun Xiuxiu suddenly put away her gaze and hugged Ling Xue, who was lying beside her, in her arms.

"But the court needs him." Sun Xiuxiu said again.

"I don't know when my husband will come back, I heard Lord Xiao Liang of Jinyiwei say that my husband has hit Sudogda, and I don't know what place it is, it's six thousand miles away from Daming."

Yang Xue naturally didn't care, she couldn't hide her words in her heart, she always had something to say.

"What's so fun about fighting, I don't go home after the New Year, my husband has only spent the New Year at home twice in the past few years!" Yang Xue said again.

"It's coming." Sun Xiuxiu got up and prepared to walk home.

"What's going on." Yang Xue also picked up Ling Yu and led Ling Feng to follow.

"Defeat the Rakshasas, there will be no strong rivals in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and it will be peaceful at that time." Sun Xiuxiu said softly.

In the end, it is Sun Chengzong's granddaughter, and she has a lot more knowledge than ordinary women, and the only fierce rival in the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty is the nomads in the north, which Sun Chengzong knows best, and Sun Xiuxiu also knows a little.

Chengzu Zhu Di entered Mongolia five times to solve this major disaster, but in the end he was unsuccessful.

In the next two hundred years, the Tatars, Warats, Duoyan Sanwei, and Jurchens were all invading the northern part of the Ming Dynasty, and it was precisely because of this that there were nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court had to provide huge military expenses, food, and weapons to the nine sides every year.

Liu Hongjian once said to Sun Xiuxiu that the Cossacks of the Rakshasa country are also nomads, and if they want peace in the north, they must either gather and integrate all the nomads, or they can only be annihilated.

There is no other way.

And now the Ming Dynasty's expedition to the west of the Rakshasa is in Sun Xiuxiu's view, that is, for the sake of eternal trouble.

"Then the Rakshasa country heard that it is larger than the territory of our Ming Dynasty, can the husband finish the fight alone? The emperor is really good, and he is looking for trouble for our husband. After Yang Xue slandered Liu Hongchuan, she began to slander Zhu Cihong again.

In her opinion, Zhu Cihong, who is only one year older than herself, is very hateful, she can't afford to fight, but she sends his husband to go around every day, can't you find one who can fight with more than 60 million manpower in the Ming Dynasty?

"We are still young, our husband is also very young, the emperor is also very young, youth is hope!" Sun Xiuxiu did not reprimand Yang Xue, she knew that Yang Xue was unintentional many times.

The two led the child all the way to the county king's mansion, and as soon as they arrived at the gate of the backyard, they saw Kun Xing carrying Ling Yun, who was only ten months old, out of the door.

"Kun Xing is going to find the two sisters, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, Sister Liu has prepared the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and Daddy has also arrived!" Kun Xing said gently.

"Sanniang, did grandpa bring a lot of strange grandpa again?" Boss Ling Feng said.

Liu Delong is the most lively person in the county prince's mansion, he doesn't have to think about his livelihood now, and even his eldest daughter-in-law takes care of his family's affairs.

And he lived alone in the old mansion in the capital, and it was only compared with the new county palace in Xishan Villa, and the county palace in the capital was formerly the Guogong Mansion of Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo.

In terms of area in the capital, this house is the largest except for the palace.

Of course, being alone is just saying that Liu Hongjian is a family, it is impossible to be alone, the old man is most afraid of loneliness, and the same is true for Liu Delong.

He knew that his son was a busy man, and he didn't expect Liu Hongjian to accompany him at home every day, so he took his colleagues who were buddies in the pharmacy back then, as well as his relatives, friends, friends, and friends of friends to live in the county king's mansion.

These friends have only one characteristic, and that is old.

Anyway, I can't do it, anyway, the county prince's mansion is in charge of food and housing, and when I meet Mrs. Liu, who is in a good mood and has silver hair, a large group of old guys revolve around Liu Delong every day, and even Liu Delong doesn't know what loneliness is.

No, it's New Year again, as usual, Old Mrs. Liu wants to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with her family, and by the way, she also comes to see her two grandsons and two granddaughters.

Of course, Old Lady Liu is very good friends, and she also brought seven or eight best friends with her for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

"Brother, grandpa has always brought so many strange grandpas with him every time he came, and he had them all last year!" Ling Yu in Sun Xiuxiu's arms interjected.

The three sisters occasionally go to the capital to see Liu Delong, but the mansion is full of old men and old ladies, and they only stuff walnuts and sugar into their hands, which is not interesting at all.

"I'm going to sit at a table with my mothers, not with my grandfather, who always my face with his beard." Boss Ling Feng said again.

Not only Liu Delong, but the old man at the table knew that the Liu family had few rules, and in order to show intimacy, he had to go up and tie his beard whenever he saw Xiao Lingfeng, of course, it was Liu Lingfeng who thought so.

"Good, good! It's not that your grandfather misses you anymore, let's go. Sun Xiuxiu was worried that Ling Yun, who was still young, was too frozen outside, and urged.

just entered the door, but saw Liu Delong wearing a carved leather coat and talking and laughing with a group of old men.

"Grandson, my good grandson, come and let grandpa take a look, look, my grandson has grown taller again!"

When Liu Delong saw Liu Lingfeng coming over, he immediately took a few steps forward to pick up Ling Feng and said to a few colleagues.

After a lot of shouting and asking for warmth, and being pricked and pricked by many strange grandfathers with their beards, Ling Feng finally got out of trouble.

"Grandchildren, guess what gift Grandpa brought you this time?" Liu Delong patted the carriageway in the yard.

The carriage was covered with a red cloth, and I don't know what was lying underneath.

"It's a toy!" Ling Xue shouted.

"No, sister, it's definitely not, it's food, there's an old man who knows how to make dim sum." Ling Yu pointed to one of the familiar old men and said.

Liu Delong's nursing home, oh no, there is an uncle surnamed Zhang in the county king's mansion who makes good dim sum, and it also won the attention of Ling Yu and Ling Xue.

"That's not right! Wrong! Guess again. Liu Delong smiled and shook his head.

The three brothers and sisters guessed several times but didn't guess correctly, and Liu Delong didn't delay, and directly pulled the old naughty throat and lifted the red cloth.

That's a truckload of fireworks!

"Dad, the yard is surrounded by trees, and it's too dangerous to set off fireworks on the West Mountain." Sun Xiuxiu naturally recognized what was on the car, but this made her very embarrassed.

Two years ago, Xishan had caught fire because of fireworks, but fortunately, it was the guard battalion on the mountainside that found it and extinguished it in time, and it was from that time that Liu Honggradually ordered to prohibit fireworks on Xishan.

"It's okay, it's okay, the old man tried it in the old house, this fireworks is not the kind that rushes to the sky, the Song shopkeeper in the capital said that this is a newly developed fireworks, called Huoshu Yinhua.

The children liked it, and the old man pondered to make the children happy. After Liu Delong finished speaking, he picked up a box and put it on the ground, and the rest of the old men also hurriedly started when they saw this.

After a while, rows of fireworks filled the yard, and Liu Delong had a fire fold in his hand, and he decided to show it to his grandchildren and granddaughters himself.

"Are you ready, grandpa is on fire, you don't have to cover your ears, how can a man be afraid of this!" Liu Delong smiled, and after speaking, he bent down to light the fire.

The fireworks were quickly ignited, and Liu Delong walked away quickly with the old man's steps, but he almost fell because of his age, and several uncles hurried to help.

Crackle-crackle-crackle-

Fireworks bloom in the yard and soar to a foot high, some red, golden, green, and some colorful, and the fire trees pour out the joy of the New Year in winter.

"Mother, Erniang, Sanniang, look, it's so beautiful!" The three siblings clapped their hands happily.

The firelight reflected the faces of Sun Xiuxiu, Yang Xue and Zhaoren, and the three girls all had smiles on their faces.

Liu Hong, the chef of the Junwang Mansion, had already prepared the meal, and when he saw that the fireworks were lit, he hurriedly took his lame husband out to watch the fireworks.

Old lady Liu saw that his grandson and granddaughter were happy, and he himself was happy, so he covered his waist and found a chair to sit down.

Just now he ran too quickly and flashed his waist, he kept beating his waist, and called him old, old.

When the fireworks burned out, a group of people hurriedly sat down, Liu Delong naturally and the word Qijue, in fact, Zhu Cihong would give something to the county king's mansion almost every month, but this time it was delivered by car.

"Princess Niangniang, the emperor and the queen have set up a banquet in the palace, please hurry over!" Wang Erxi said with a smile again after reading the holy decree.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, this is a little heart, and I hope the prince will accept it with a smile." Sun Xiuxiu gave Yang Xue a look, and Yang Xue immediately took out Zhang Bailiang's silver ticket and handed it to Wang Erxi.

Wang Erxi originally had to shirk it, even if he was not greedy for his position, he would not be able to spend all the money in his hand, and the county prince's mansion had always been not dotted, Wang Erxi was not used to it for a while.

"Accept it, and celebrate the New Year." Sun Xiuxiu smiled.

"Then our family is welcome, I haven't seen the prince for a few days, to tell the truth, our family is thinking about it! I want to ...... back then" Wang Erxi seemed to remember the past, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw that everyone was looking at him, and he closed his mouth embarrassedly.

"Princess, come with our family, the emperor and the queen haven't eaten either, waiting for us!

Oh yes, the emperor specially instructed to bring the little prince and the little lord with you! ”
