September 12, the capital Xie Mansion. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xie Qian returned home early, not because it was a holiday, but because he got the news that Shen Xi's family returned to the capital from Chongwenmen, and encountered a lot of trouble when entering the city.

It just so happened that a commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Command Division was present, and if he dared to slack off, he immediately reported the matter to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War notified Xie Qian as soon as possible.

Is Xie Qian a good match? He was wide-faced, and immediately went to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to say hello, Zhang Mao immediately inquired about the matter, and the military department also sent people there, and the Shen family was finally able to enter the city smoothly.

When he learned that his little granddaughter Xie Hengnu was safe and sound, and the child in his belly was normal, Xie Qian relieved himself and returned home to send daily necessities to Shen Mansion as soon as possible.

When things were dealt with, Xie Qian came to the inner house, not only Mrs. Xu was there, but Xie Pi and Shi Xiaojing also rushed over after hearing the news, obviously waiting for news from the Shen family.

When Mrs. Xu saw her husband, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, Jun'er, she has returned safely?" ”

Xie Qian wanted to happily tell his wife about the happy news, but when he saw his son and daughter-in-law on the side, his self-esteem was troubled, and he put on a stinky face again, and bowed his head slightly: "Hmm." Jun'er is indeed back, the Shen family has already entered the city, and it should be back to the Shen Mansion in Jinggongfang. ”

"That's good, that's good, Jun'er is young and hasn't been far away before, so I'm most afraid that she won't adapt to this hard work. Master, can Jun'er's body be safe? ”

In Mrs. Xu's opinion, people should come back, and the most important thing is not to get tired and sick from the journey, especially since Xie Hengnu is pregnant now.

Xie Qian didn't speak, but Xie Pi comforted him: "Mother, although Jun'er grew up in the gentle care of our family, her body is not delicate, she has always been healthy and healthy, and she should be fine!" Worry no more. ”

"yes, yes."

Mrs. Xu heard her son mention that Xie Hengnu was in good health, and her face was sad, "When Jun'er was infected with smallpox, her brother and parents survived, and she survived alone. I never thought that Lord Shen had gone to the northwest at this time, which was really worrying! ”

Xie Qian said coldly: "It's really a pot that can't be opened!" I've asked someone to go to the Shen Mansion to ask and see if there's anything I need help with. People are still so worried when they are old, if Jun'er has something, can the Shen Mansion remember to come over and spread the word? ”

Shi Xiaojing went over to help her husband's biological mother, who is also one of her two mothers-in-law, Mrs. Xu, whispered comfort, Xie Qian waved his hand: "Pi'er, follow me to the study, I haven't checked your homework recently, I rarely have time today, just take the school exam in detail!" ”

Although Xie Pi is already a man with a son, he still looks like a child in the face of his father, after all, he is only twenty-one years old and has grown up in the shadow of his father since he was a child. However, although Xie Pi lacks some independence, he has made great progress in the past two years.

Xie Qian casually drew a few questions from Xie Pi's "Four Books" in the study, and was about to deepen the difficulty of the school examination, when the servant came in and said: "Master, Ma Shangshu is here to visit!" ”

"Where does this horse negative map think of my mansion? Come and go as you want? ”

Xie Qianqi is not going to come anywhere, as soon as he goes home recently, Ma Wensheng will inevitably come to visit, and it has become a rule.

Every time I come to talk about the war in the northwest, the three sentences are inseparable from Shen Xi, and Ma Wensheng can be said to know Shen Xi's movements in the northwest well.

Xie Pi asked in surprise: "Father, Ma Shangshu is coming, are you not happy?" ”

Xie Qian looked at his son and thought of his grandson-in-law Shen Xi, he originally thought that Shen Xi was "not angry", but compared with his son, who was four years older than Shen Xi, he suddenly felt that Shen Xi was mature in terms of talent, knowledge and ability to do things, but he always felt that Shen Xi was a child and had a natural prejudice against Shen Xi.

Xie Qian snorted coldly: "What do you know, Ma Yingtu came to the door, it was nothing more than questioning Shen Xi'er, as the governor of Yansui, that he actually stationed troops in Juyongguan. Shen Xi'er is also not angry, His Majesty sent him to the northwest to take on a heavy responsibility, but he actually cowered, which is really a loss of face for the old man! ”

Unconsciously, Xie Qian told his son about the military secrets of the court, but he didn't take it too seriously, because he knew that his son had been studying behind closed doors at home recently, preparing for the exam after a year and a half, and he would not go out to visit friends under martial law in the city, and Xie Pi still understood the minimum rules and would not talk casually.

Xie Pi was a little envious: "Mr. Shen is deeply respected by His Majesty, and he thinks that he is stationing troops and is not moving forward, there should be his reason, I'm afraid outsiders don't understand, right?" ”

Xie Qian listened to his son's words, and was slightly surprised, he didn't expect his son to respect Shen Xi so much, and Shen Xi was intimidated by his son's speculation that he had another deep meaning?

"You go back first, for your father, I will go to see Ma Shangshu first...... Accompany your mother more, if Jun'er can't go home these days, let your wife accompany your mother to Shen Mansion. The people of Xie Mansion can't be gossiped about by outsiders! ”

Although Xie Qian also wanted to see his little granddaughter, he knew that Shen Xi was not in the capital now, even if Xie Hengnu was pregnant, he could not leave the house easily, but his mother's family could come to see it when the woman returned from a long trip after getting married, and she was pregnant, which was also a kind of etiquette between women.

Xie Qian knew that he would not have a chance to meet his little granddaughter, and only hoped that his wife and daughter-in-law could meet him...... He discussed with Mrs. Xu, at this time, Xie Hengnu was pregnant with her first child, and there were many things she didn't understand, so let Mrs. Xu and Shi Xiaojing, who have experience in childbirth, that is, Xie Hengnu's grandmother and aunt, and the two women guide her and let her raise the baby with peace of mind.

Xie Pi said: "Father, Mr. Shen already has an heir, presumably the family has experience in dealing with this, so there is no need for Xiaojing and her mother to make a special trip to the Shen Mansion, right?" ”

"You know what? Let your wife go, and you won't go, just do what your father says, where are so many words! Stand down, stand down! ”

Xie Qian was a little impatient, this time he didn't even go out to welcome Ma Wensheng, but asked the housekeeper to welcome Ma Wensheng into the mansion.

……

……

Not long after, Ma Wensheng came to the study, and Xie Qian seemed to be sitting at the desk looking at the scrolls, but in fact, it was just a codex that he usually recorded, and he used it to decorate the façade.

After Marven Sheng entered the door, he found that Xie Qian did not get up to greet him, knowing that Xie Qian was angry, and said with a smile: "Yu Qiao rarely returns home, and he is actually diligent in his official work, which is really embarrassing!" ”

Xie Qian put down the codex, stood up and saluted: "Ma Shangshu is coming to the door, I haven't been far away, please forgive me!" ”

"Polite words are exempt!"

Ma Wensheng raised his hand and said, "I just got the battle report from the front, Shen Xi has led the troops to the west two days ago, and now all the soldiers and horses have left Juyong Pass, and it is expected that they will be able to pass the chicken song post in these two days." ”

Hearing the news of Shen Xi's troops, Xie Qian was slightly stunned, and asked in disbelief, "This is the army?" ”

At this time, Xie Qian thought in his heart: "Shen Xi, this kid, I thought he was so smart, he honestly stayed at Juyong Pass, and waited for the Tatars to withdraw their troops." But now the Tatars have not heard from him for about half a month, and it is difficult to say whether he will withdraw from the army, so he will send troops, if the Tatars kill a carbine, it doesn't matter if this kid dies, my poor little granddaughter will have to be a widow? ”

Ma Wensheng seemed to know that Xie Qian might not believe it, so he took out the transcript of Juyongguan's urgent report and handed it to Xie Qian.

Xie Qian took it in his hand and took a look, only to know that Shen Xi not only sent troops, but also "blackmailed" all the firearms in Juyong Pass, so Shen Xi also "pleaded" to the imperial court, which meant that for the needs of the war, he had to make scheduling arrangements.

Xie Qian thought to himself: "This kid is obviously crazy, he actually went to this kind of book, isn't he giving people a handle?" ”

Putting down the transcript of the report, Xie Qian looked at Ma Wensheng and asked, "Ma Shangshu, where is the destination of Shen Xi'er's troops this time?" Isn't it...... Went to Taiyuan Town? ”

"Hmm."

Ma Wensheng nodded and said, "I know from the command of Longqing Weiwei that Li Pin played another performance, Shen Xi did go to Taiyuan Town this time, but he would stop in Xuanfu Town on the way. ”

After hearing this, Xie Qian was worried in his heart, and secretly thought: "I have talked about the traces of Tatar soldiers and horses in the past few reports, and they are probably around Taiyuan Town. Now the main Tatar force is nowhere to be found for the time being, but it is expected that it is in the Jinxi generation of robbery, and Shen Xi Xiao'er led the troops over like this, didn't he just fall into the pocket array set up by the Tatars in advance? ”

"It's best that this kid can realize that he will stay in Xuanfu Town and wait for the Tatars to completely withdraw before heading west!"

When Shen Xi was stationed in Yongguan, Xie Qian scolded Shen Xi in front of people every day, but secretly he was secretly having fun, and the court did not give Shen Xi many soldiers and horses to send Shen Xi to death, which made Xie Qian very unhappy, and when Shen Xi shrank back, Xie Qian's face was not good-looking, but he believed that with him, Shen Xi not only had no worries about his life, but even his fame and official status would not have much problem.

If the imperial court is punished for this, led by Liu Daxia and supported by Zhu Hui and other princes, it will not be Shen Xi's turn to be sent to the battlefield in the future, so Xie Qian feels that Shen Xi is very satisfied with the turtle with his head shrunken.

As a result, he was not happy for a few days, and Shen Xi ran to the battlefield to "send him to death", how could this not make him annoyed?

Xie Qian said: "Xuanfu Town involves the safety of Gyeonggi, and it is the top priority of my Nine Border Defense. Now that Shen Xi Xiao'er has sent troops to Taiyuan Town, it may be more beneficial to the battle situation if he asks His Majesty to order him to lead troops to be stationed in Xuanhua Mansion and defend the gate of Gyeonggi! ”

When Ma Wensheng heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

Xie Qianming was "licking the calf", Ma Wensheng thought to himself: "Xuanfu Town just found Tatar rangers this time, and it is expected that a small group of Tatar soldiers and horses sneaked in from those steep places, you Xie Yuqiao actually said that Xuanfu Town is the top priority of the Nine Sides?" If Xuanfu Town is so important, what is the lost Yansui Town? Why did the Tatars attack not Xuanfu but Yansui Town? Now it is Taiyuan Town that is in danger? ”

Ma Wensheng said: "Yu Qiao's words, I'm afraid I can't mean it, right?" ”

Xie Qian didn't care about that, he knew that Shen Xi was going to Taiyuan Town to die, and he had to do his best to stop Shen Xi's "blind suicide" behavior.

Xie Qian originally wanted to stay at home for a reunion dinner, but at this time, he couldn't help but say eagerly: "Ma Shangshu will follow me into the palace and present this matter to His Majesty, or it may be possible to relieve the siege of the northwest for a while!" (To be continued.) )
