Chapter 358 Family affection
As Duan Ziyi expected, as soon as the news of the loss of two cities spread, the armies of Fujian and Wu began to counterattack like divine help. Except for Xia Jing's side, the other places lost the city one after another, and Jingtai, who had settled down, fell back into the hands of Fujian because he was caught off guard.
Many people have been secretly looking forward to Duan Ziyi's expedition.
Duan Ziyi also wanted to go on an expedition, but in the present situation, he knew that it would never be when he went on an expedition, unless he wanted to sit in that position.
Xia Hanqiu thought about how to send the meat of a motorcade to Bai Yu through his uncle.
In winter, eat meat to replenish your breath.
Duan Baiyu's only little impetuousness after this incident also completely sank. Although he was defeated, the people who followed him all the way were not centrifugal. On the contrary, he was worried that His Highness could not stand it. When he saw his change, he felt that this loss was not in vain.
The meat was sent by Xia Cong himself. He has a son, a nephew and a son-in-law here. Except for his new uncle, he hasn't seen him for more than a year or nearly two years. He can't think about it. How can he let go of it after finally getting a justified excuse.
Duan Baiyu got the news and asked someone to find someone else, and he took the lead in welcoming them.
"See Your Highness, the grassy people."
He was supported by Duan Baiyu before he bowed down. After nearly two years of experience, he had not been the thin and weak appearance when he went on an expedition for a long time. Although he could not compare with those big and thick tendons, he was much stronger.
"My family doesn't need these false gifts, and everyone is exempted from gifts." Duan Baiyu said it sincerely. Since he has been defeated, he has not received a single word from the pavilion, but the support is continuous, but it is all official, and it is for the sake of Daliang.
will think of only his aunt to motivate morale and protect him in this way.
And the Xia family has always been her executor.
He is reasonable, and he is grateful.
Xia Cong straightened up and took a step sideways, and the people behind him also stood up. The mule horse snorted and walked in place uneasily, but the carriage did not move at all, which shows that the weight was not light.
"Your Highness, half of this is mutton and most of it is pork. Qiuer originally asked me to buy some beef, saying that it was strong, but it was really difficult to buy. In the end, I only bought one cow, which was enough to add a meal for the generals."
"It's already very hearty." Just as I was about to ask my aunt what she had to convey, there was a rapid sound of footsteps. She looked back and smiled, "Why did you come here together?"
"We had been discussing things together, and we came here as soon as we got the news." Xia De explained that he bowed to Xia Cong, and Zhang Jiabao and Guo Nianan also bowed.
Zhang Jiabao was fine, but the other two had not seen each other since they went on an expedition, and their eyes turned red after worshipping.
Although the three of them are not very old, they are very prestigious in the army. Many people look at Xia Cong and don't know whether to envy or be jealous. There is a nephew like a princess who has carried a nameless Xia family to the present. It is said that the prince also treats the Xia family very highly and should be given a gift to It's always a salute.
Although the middle generation only had two sons, one took the risk to travel around the country to help the princess with military spending and military supplies, and the other went to the battlefield and was invincible. His wife was still the princess's right-hand man.
The younger generation is also competitive. The big one sits at home and takes care of the Xia family in an orderly manner. The little one is obviously a literati who has no power to bind chickens, but he follows him to the battlefield and fights for a place with his own mind. One nephew is young and has the name It took a little late, but he had the first chance to save him. Now he has become a military aircraft counselor for his highness. He is also in charge of other affairs. He is the new uncle of the Xia family. It is not too much for the Xia family to say that he is a handsome man now. No one can stop the rise of the Xia family.
Although the background is not deep enough, as long as the princess is in one day and waits for these small ones to grow into towering trees, the Xia family will become the first door in the beam.
As long as they do not violate His Highness's taboos, whether it is based on the feelings formed on the battlefield or the princess's work of stabilizing the rear, the Xia family can be popular for a long time.
Xia De has always been skillful, and now he doesn't know what to say. Although he has persuaded His Highness about the defeat before, in the end, he is also a little frivolous. His Highness has always listened to his words, but if he persuades him more, he may not suffer such a big loss.
Seeing that his son had made a mistake, Xia Cong sighed in his heart. It hasn't been long since he seen this boy's soft appearance.
Duan Baiyu coughed softly, "You father and son haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's talk first. I'll ask someone to prepare and come to my account later."
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness, for your forgiveness."
Xia De left with his father. Guo Nian'an and Zhang Jiabao didn't keep up. They had been stunned for a long time and knew that they should pay more attention to the feelings of His Highness.
In Shade's account, as soon as his father sat down, Shade knelt down.
"Okay, get up and sit down and talk."
Xia De looked up and saw that his father really didn't seem to be angry before he got up obediently.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Xia family now has a dignified princess, an uncle who is a disciple of the incompetent Taoist priest, a capable aunt, and the younger generation also has their own excellence. On the contrary, his father, as the eldest son, has no reputation. Although now he knows that he is helping his cousin, he can
But in the Xia family, his father is the master of the family, not because he is the eldest son, but because his father is at the helm of the Xia family, and his brother will certainly be the same in the future.
The Xia family can be excellent outside, but when they return home, they have to belong to each other. Since childhood, the elders have taught them this way, which is also the reason why the direct branch of the Xia family is only a merchant's family, but it can inherit so many generations, and there has never been a dispute over family property.
He has been indulged since he was a child, but he has never gone astray, because his father has never spent less time on him than his eldest brother. Even if the eldest brother is the one who will inherit the family business in the future, no matter what he wants to learn, his father will support him. Even if he doesn't think those things are Above my grandfather.
It didn't take long for his father to do something wrong. The first thing he thought of was to blame him, and he didn't want to excuse himself. He planned to take it no matter how his father scolded him. How did he know...
"Before I came, Qiuer told me not to scold you. It's good enough to do this at your age. You can grow a lot of wisdom. Only when you suffer a loss at the most smoothest time can you remember your mind and settle down. I have been thinking about her all the way and found that she was right. The Xia family does not Things are not what a family like ours can have, let alone teach. You have come out step by step by step by yourself. The family has not helped you at all. As your cousin said, you are excellent, and Dad is proud of you.
"Dad..."
"Dad insisted on coming over, but he was also afraid that you couldn't get out of the bull's horns. At present, it looks okay. It seems that Nian'er and Jiabao have solved you a lot."
"Yes." Thinking of the days when the accident happened, his cousin and Jiabao took turns to accompany him, for fear that he would feel warm because of what he had done something to blame himself. What's more, "Cousin sent the counselor beside her and told me a lot, probably to trust me. He told me what his cousin asked him. If I was still there, I would Ai didn't grow up. How can he be worthy of his cousin's trouble for me so much?
"As long as you know, her experience in the past two years is no easier than yours, and she is more responsible than anyone else. You have to remember all this."
"Yes." Of course, you have to remember that when they are strong enough is the reward.
After saying this, Xia Cong went to see Duan Baiyu and handed him a letter. "I saw the bastard before and left this matter behind. Qiu Er said that the prince hopes that you can remember this lesson and don't allow her to write to you. She can't go against the prince's will and ask me to bring this letter to you behind "
This scene is really like a bastard in the family who doesn't grow up. The father wants to teach him a lesson, but the mother is reluctant to secretly send a letter to comfort him. Duan Baiyu took it over, his face was incredibly soft, and his words brought warmth, "Thank you very much. How are your aunt? What about my cousin? Are you feeling better? I haven't seen it yet. I only heard Jiabao say that she looks like an aunt, because premature birth is congenitally deficient. It should be much better to have an aunt's brother to help with the conditioning.
"It's good. I can walk and shout people. The prince and Qiu'er are busy. They have always been raised by Wuwei Taoist priest himself. He is a very smart child. Hearing Qiuer say that her third brother wants to be a disciple, she agreed."
Xia Cong casually revealed a few words. Although he is not a person in the officialdom, he can see some things clearly. Since he doesn't mean that, it's better to give up some precautions when he starts, which is good for everyone.
Duan Baiyu's eyes flashed and she was very surprised, "Uncle has only this son now. How can he agree?"
"Don't you know about your aunt? The thing she decided was that the prince had to give in. She was so busy that she didn't want her child to work as hard as her in the future, and she didn't even have time to be an idle prince in the future. Anyway, you are so young that you can't fall on him in terms of responsibility..."
As if he found that he was too arrogant, Xia Cong quickly got up and knelt down. "The grass people are talking about the family affairs, please forgive your Highness."
Duan Baiyu personally helped people up, with soft eyes. "For others, it's a matter of heaven. It's our own business to close the door. If we really want to rank, I have to call you uncle at will. How can I forgive you? On the contrary, I'm glad that you told me this. If you live alone, Think about it, give in for him, and remember these things to remind yourself not to be the ungrateful person.
Xia Cong pretended not to understand and said with a smile, "Your Highness said very well, but don't really call me by that boy An. The grass people can't afford it." RS
