Because of the attack of Japanese pirates, the day before yesterday the people were still celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival. The next day, they were eager to take their families and join the other place. The brave ones stayed in Hangzhou City with a hurried look on their own, and the gates were closed day and night, and they did not leave their homes.

Before leaving, Xie Ding issued an order to prohibit the Xie Mansion from causing chaos.

In fact, anyone can leave, but the families of these officials cannot escape. Xie Ding led his troops to repel the Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates could not defeat Hangzhou City, so they were naturally safe. But once the Japanese pirates came in, it means that Xie Ding and Xie Hui and his son failed to defend the city. With the current emperor's temper, the guard generals dereliction of duty, and their families would be punished wherever they went.

Five years ago, the Japanese attacked Goryeo and divided a team to invade Shandong. The family of Shandong defenders was beheaded due to dereliction of duty and fled to death and their clan members were exiled.

Back then, Goryeo, a vassal state, asked for help from Daliang. Daliang sent troops to support and repelled the Japanese. The Japanese obediently surrendered. Unexpectedly, in just five years, the Japanese came to cause trouble again, and even changed places to attack Zhejiang. Because no one expected that the Japanese would dare to attack at sea at night, the generals of the border town were not prepared and were taken away by them in succession.

The news of the eight hundred miles of urgent need was sent to Beijing, which soon brought Emperor Xuande's imperial edict that seemed to be able to see the angry ones, and ordered the Zhejiang defenders to drive away the enemy with all their strength. Every word and sentence was a must-win word. Without mentioning how to deal with it, no one could guess the outcome of the defeated general.

For a whole month, Xie Ding and Xie Hui and his son did not return from the coast and contacted the mansion entirely through letters.

Compared with the panic outside, Xie's house is quiet and no different from usual.

At least there was no big difference in Xie Lanyin's yard. The little maids still got up early to clean the yard and build flowers. It may also be because Chen's rules were strict that they were not allowed to leave their yard without authorization. Without going out, they would have no way to learn about the naval battle. Ignorance would be fearless.

Lying on the bed and listening to the little maids under the eaves whispering to praise which flower looks better, Xie Lanyin was worried.

If the war doesn't end for a day, she can't feel at ease. Her father, elder sister, grandfather, and Xue Jiu, who doesn't know whether she can succeed, she is very optimistic about her brother-in-law. She doesn't want any of them to have an accident.

"Girl, girl, the big girl is back!"

The parrot's unprecedented surprise sound came from outside. When Xie Lanyin heard it, she lifted the quilt, put on her shoes and ran outside.

In the Xie family hall, almost all the masters came, Chen's Xie Yao and Fang Ling, Xie Xun's second wife's family of five, Jiang's Xie Lanqiao arrived early, Xie Lanyin rushed over excitedly, and saw her tall and heroic elder sister standing among the crowd in armor, and was watched nervously by everyone.

"Sister!" Xie Lanyin didn't care. This was her eldest sister. She had to check first to see if the eldest sister was injured.

After being frightened for a month, when Xie Lanyin ran to the elder sister, tears came out as soon as she saw the elder sister turning around and showing her thin face. She looked in good spirits, not like she was injured, but she was much darker and she lost a lot, so she must have worked so hard.

The little sister was about to pounce on her, but Xie Lanting didn't touch her. She held Xie Lanyin's shoulder and reminded with a wry smile: "I haven't changed my clothes for almost half a month, so Lanyin shouldn't touch them."

"I don't think you are smelly." Xie Lanyin insisted on touching her, and pounced on her again, buried her in the elder sister's arms, and hugged her tightly.

Xie Lanting laughed and patted his little sister on the shoulder.

Jiang also wanted to have an elder daughter, but she was not as clingy as her younger daughter. Seeing that the elder daughter was good, she let go of most of her heart. Xie Lanqiao stood beside her mother and smiled at her elder sister.

Chen didn't have the patience of their sisters watching the reunion scene. He coughed and asked, "Why is Lanting back? Your grandfather asked you to send a letter? What's the situation there?" Her husband is fifty years old, and no matter how good his skills are, how can she not worry about it?

Xie Lanting let go of his sister and looked at his mother and replied: "My father and grandfather worked together to capture the Japanese commander. After interrogation, he found that it was the Japanese prince. Now the Japanese are withdrawing their troops for the time being. I want to send someone back to ask for instructions. My grandfather ordered me to escort the two of them back and wait for the emperor to decide."

Chen's eyes lit up, and Xie Yao said excitedly: "It's a great contribution to capturing the other party's prince!"

Chen thought so in his heart, but before she could speak, the second wife interrupted happily: "Capturing the enemy prince is more powerful than repelling the Japanese. Will the emperor be promoted to his father's official position?"

A word of promotion will be like tomorrow that dispels the haze that shrouds Xie’s house in January, and everyone’s eyes will lit up.

Seeing that Chen and others had already known the news they wanted to hear the most, Jiang led their three daughters away on the grounds that their eldest daughter was tired and went back to the big room to speak. Daliang had the other party's hostage in his hand, and the war was almost clear. Jiang mainly asked about the daily life of the father and daughter. Xie Lanyin was more considerate and dug up a beautiful woman. After washing her face, the eldest sister insisted on applying it to her.

The battlefield was dangerous, and Xie Lanting's strings were tense for a month. Now he relaxed, let the little sister make a fuss and wash her face in a while.

How to deal with Japanese prisoners is the court's business.

In mid-June, Emperor Xuande ordered people to escort the Japanese prince, and the general came to Beijing. Soon the Japanese also sent people to Beijing for peace, saying that they were willing to bow their heads and surrender, and then exchanged the eldest prince with another prince as the title. In this way, they showed their sincerity, and also offered a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, and paid tribute to several beauties with great beauty.

Emperor Xuande discussed with his ministers and approved the report.

The state affairs were resolved, Emperor Xuande rewarded the merits and appointed Xie Ding as the Marquis of Wuding, and Xie Hui as the doctor of the Ministry of War. The father and son stayed in Hangzhou to hand over military affairs. Before the New Year, they went to Beijing and ordered Xie Hui to lead people to send the Japanese to the Japanese for a journey.

When the imperial edict was passed to Hangzhou, Xie Lanyin always smiled in his dreams.

My father was promoted.

Although my father's previous garrison was the same as the doctor of the Ministry of War, his future future was far less than that of the Minister of War. There were so many garrisons in each province, and there were only four doctors in the Ministry of War. Moreover, when she moved to the capital, she could often see her aunt and see the prosperity of the capital.

The little girl is in a happy mood when she is happy, and she walks lightly, but Chen's chest feels stuffy.

My husband has been granted the title of marquis and has been hereditary. Who is the next marquis?

If it weren't for that woman, she should have been Xie Ding's original wife, and her son was also the eldest son in the family. Unlike now, Xie Hui has taken the position of eldest son!

"The Japanese beat us for no reason. Although they surrendered due to the situation, they may not be really convinced. The emperor just sent a small official to send him off. Why ask Mingtang to go? Mingtang is now a doctor in the Ministry of War. Is it too decent for the Japanese to send a group of thieves?"

After nightfall, Chen served Xie Ding to rest, and chatted while covering the tent.

"The emperor wants to use Mingtang to shock them and warn them not to rebel again." Xie Ding said proudly.

Only the eldest son Xie Hui inherited his martial arts with his three sons. Even if the eldest son did not please him like other children, he liked him.

The man smiled so hard that his eyes were bent. Chen clenched his hands and leaned against the side and joked: "Look at you so happy. He has been named the Marquis, and his sons have given you a face. I haven't seen you laugh like this for several years."

Xie Ding was in a good mood and was in a good mood. With good physical strength, the old couple also had a good relationship.

After the matter was done, Chen leaned in his still strong arms and gasped for discussion with him, "Cousin, look, Mingtang has the ability. He became a fifth-rank official in his thirties. You also served in the Ministry of War. With your support, his future will be great. The third brother has been successful since he was a child, so I don't have to worry about him. Our second brother has no future. After so many years of training, I have been lazy to care about him, but it's not possible. Now that our family has a title, why don't you ask him to be the crown prince? In this way, the three of them have arrangements, and I can wait for the great-grandson to hold my great-grandson with peace of mind."

Xie Ding listened comfortably, and as he listened, he opened his eyes, without looking at his wife in his arms, looking at the bed, he didn't know what he was thinking, and after a long time he said, "Whether the title or the property, the eldest son is the first. This is the rule passed down from the previous dynasty. Look at the Duke's Mansions in the capital, which family is not the eldest son to be the prince?"

Besides, he earned this title with his eldest son, and the second son could do nothing. What would the eldest son think?

Chen had already thought of the words and said as relaxedly as possible: "That's the case, but the emperor also appointed the second prince..."

Xie Ding's face darkened, pushed the woman away, sat up with a tense face, and shouted in a deep voice: "We can also discuss the matter of the prince? That is because the eldest prince is born weak and cannot bear the responsibility of the prince's responsibility. The emperor has established the second prince. Mingtang is strong and has made military achievements. How can I pass over him and ask the second brother to be named?"

Chen was hurt by him and rubbed his arms and scolded him, "I don't understand the matter of the court. Just tell me, why don't you do it with such great strength? Am I worried about that son who is not promising? Which family is not like this? Do you think everyone is like you, dancing with swords and guns all day long, and not caring about anything?"

Xie Ding looked at the place where she rubbed her hands. Thinking of the intimacy just now, he seemed to be ruthless and couldn't hold back his face. He reached out to pull his wife's hand, "Show me."

Chen clapped his hand away, pulled the quilt and lay down, sighed in a sarcastic voice: "Forget it, Mingtang should give it to him by your life and death. If you want to blame, you blame the second brother for being incompetent. If you kiss me, I can tell Mingtang. If you are not kissing me, I have no shame to beg him to give in to my brother. Just like that."

After saying that, he turned around inside and closed his eyes.

Xie Ding looked at his wife's fair and smooth face when she was young, and she no longer had any sleepiness.

He had two wives, and in the end he owed them both.

But he owes what he owes, and he finds a way to compensate himself, so he can't let the children down.

~

The big room of the Xie family.

After his breathing was calmed down, Xie Hui easily carried his wife back to the gauze tent from the table.

Having just experienced a storm, Jiang was lazy and powerless, watching her husband clean up for her affectionately, and brought her tea to drink. After so many years, he could figure out what she wanted.

"Can you hurry home to celebrate the Double Ninth Festival?" The husband will go to send Japanese people to sea tomorrow, and he will stay in the coastal counties and towns to handle some official duties. This year, the couple has been together for a long time. Jiang really hopes that he will come back early and the whole family will reunite.

"I will go back on the eighth day of the lunar month." Xie Hui never talked much, but he always said that his wife liked to hear the most.

Jiang smiled. After her husband lay down, she turned to his arms and sighed: "It's true that Lanting is. She will follow you wherever you go. She will go to see someone off. She will not be willing to spend a moment with our mother."

Xie Huixiao, somehow thought of his eldest daughter when she was a child, she was only two years old, and she liked to watch him practice martial arts with her grandfather.

It was late at night, and the couple chatted for a while and hugged each other and slept in each other.

The next day, Xie Hui led his eldest daughter to send the Japanese to sea, Xue Jiu accompanied him, and Xie Ding also sent the old man Liu, deputy general around him to help his eldest son.

When we set off, the whole family went out to see us off.

Deputy General Liu rode on the horse and walked with Xie Hui and his daughter, he couldn't help but look at the woman beside the general, the person he had liked for decades.

Thirty years ago, Chen cried and begged him for help, but he helped. Then the general always thought that he was drunk and had sex. He touched Chen.

Touching the cuffs, Deputy General Liu suddenly felt a little afraid to read the letter Chen had given him.

He was afraid that she would beg him again, so he begged him to do something that would be sorry to the general.
