Although Mu Yangling didn't bring up this matter again, and didn't punish Chen Ming's family, he called Li Chun over and said, "Beat Chen Ming's family, so she won't forget the rules."

"Fourth grandma, why don't you detain her at home."

"No, although we don't have much contact with the villagers, we can't break the connection." Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Even if Mu Yangling doesn't expect the villagers to help them in the future, he must not make trouble, and Chen Ming and Chen Ming's family are the links .

Lichun understood, and went down to beat Chen Ming's house without mentioning it.

After the seventh day of the lunar new year, the festivities of the New Year in the village had passed, and the guard came back from outside excitedly to report, "Fourth grandma, good news, Xixia has withdrawn."

"Why so fast?"

The guard smiled all over his face, "It's the fourth master. He made people bypass the Xixia army and attack Xixia from Tongchuan, and flanked the Xixia army with the Jin army on the left and right. Xixia is in danger, so he will stay in Dazhou The army was transferred back to support, and the fourth master immediately took over the state capital previously occupied by Xixia."

"Where did he get so many people?" Mu Yangling asked anxiously.

The smile on the guard's face was even wider, and he said: "That's why fourth master is powerful. He has recruited several bandit troops, and there will be soldiers in no time."

"Because the fourth master won a big victory on the front line, the uncle's side has also relaxed a lot. The second prince, who has been using the Xixia army to fight against the uncle, lost a lot of state capitals. It is said that those Xixia cavalry rushed back to Xixia to support them. The next second prince doesn't care."

Mu Yangling couldn't help but smile, "Then we can go back soon?"

The guard hurriedly said: "Now the uncle has almost wiped out the rebels following the second prince. It's just that the bandits are rampant, but those people are nothing to be afraid of."

This is just a word of comfort from the first guard, now that the rebel army accounts for one-third of Dazhou, how can it be nothing to fear?

But Mu Yangling was still very happy, and ran to share the news with Li Jinghua.

Li Jinghua heaved a sigh of relief, sincerely recited a mouthful of Buddha, and said, "No wonder fourth uncle is said to be a good fighter. I rarely hear of his defeat here, and most of them are good news."

Mu Yangling said triumphantly and modestly: "Sister-in-law, don't praise him, he is just a little shrewd about fighting, and has no other skills."

But Li Jinghua said: "This is a troubled world, and being able to fight is already the greatest skill, so don't be greedy."

After finishing speaking, he said worryingly: "This war burns the most money, and on the uncle's side, I don't know if there is enough money. Ah Ling, I want to arrange the dowry and ask someone to convert it into silver and send it to the uncle, although it is not much. , at least I can support it."

Mu Yangling opened his mouth slightly and said, "How can I use my sister-in-law's dowry?"

Li Jinghua said indifferently: "My husband and I are one, what can't be used."

Seeing her frowning slightly, Mu Yangling immediately understood that Li Jinghua was feeling uneasy, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Then sister-in-law, let's do it. You wrote me a letter, and I'll let the guard send it back. Someone will do it."

Li Jinghua nodded with a slight smile, took Mu Yangling's hand and said, "Thank you, if it weren't for your help, I wouldn't be able to do anything even if I had the heart."

Mu Yangling smiled, changed the subject and said, "Aren't Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong here with sister-in-law, where are they?"

"I'm reading in there. The half-grown children don't even know the words, but they like to flip through books." Li Jinghua was happy when talking about the children, and went into the inner room with Mu Yangling to watch the two children.

The two children were sitting together with their heads leaning on each other holding a picture album. There was a window behind them, but because it was still in the first lunar month and the weather was very cold, the windows were closed. Wen Cui probably worried that the light would be bad. With candles lit, the room was brightly lit.

The picture book the two children read was a picture of hundreds of birds painted by Li Haoran. It contained tigers and lions, including rabbits, chickens and ducks. It was also marked with words and explanations. It was sent by Qi Haoran a few years ago.

How else could Li Jinghua envy Mu Yangling?

Also the only son, although Qi Xiuyuan wrote about his son with a gentle tone, he would often ask people to bring some small things to his son, but those things were all bought, unlike Qi Haoran, most of what he gave to his son was made by himself.

As big as a cart, as small as a grasshopper woven from weeds, Qi Haoran has been preparing for this album for half a year.

The picture book is not thick, and it takes ample time, so it can be finished in two or three days, plus it is fine brushwork, if someone who is good at painting comes to paint, not looking for charm, just looking for appearance, the painting will definitely be finished in two days, but Qi Haoran found Fighting on the front line.

According to the person who brought the things over, Qi Haoran only sleeps for two hours a day. Sometimes the war is tense, and it is not uncommon for him to only sleep for half an hour a day. However, he must spare a quarter of an hour every day to draw this picture album, which shows that his Carefully.

Seeing this album, Li Jinghua would think of the little things that Qi Xiuyuan gave her when she was engaged. At that time, she was very happy and thought that no one would be happier than her, because some men would buy her these little things.

But looking at Mu Yangling now, Li Jinghua felt that the Qi family brothers were one by one and would deceive others. Qi Xiuyuan bought her personally, but Qi Haoran made it himself.

Mu Yangling didn't know that Li Jinghua was envious of her. Seeing the two children flipping through the picture book, he stepped forward to pick up the little bear, turned the picture book upside down, then opened a page at random, pointed to the animal on it and asked, "What is this?" ?”

The little bear grumbled a few words, picked up the picture album excitedly, pointed to the things on it and grumbled to Mu Yangling.

Mu Yangling didn't understand a single word after listening to it for a long time, but Xiaobao had already said first: "I know, it's a tiger," after finishing speaking, he even yelled, "Tiger!"

The little bear followed suit and continued to speak the language of Hai'er country excitedly.

Mu Yangling was suddenly worried, "He is so old, why can't he speak? I remember Xiaobao could already speak simple words when he was his age."

Li Jinghua laughed and said, "Why are you so anxious, little bear is not yet one year old, little treasure talks early, but little bear walks early, have you ever seen a child who learned to walk as early as him?"

Mu Yangling became proud again, "It's true, each has its own strengths, maybe he is as good at martial arts as his father."

Mu Yangling shook him and asked, "Do you miss Daddy? Do you know who gave you this album?"

Little Xiong ignored his mother, struggled to climb onto the couch, began to stand up tremblingly, pulled Xiaobao, pointed to the decal on the window, and yelled "Ahhh".

Xiao Bao immediately stood up, ran over to pat the window, and Xiao Xiong also stumbled over, slapping his hands upwards, making the two nurses very worried, for fear of hurting their little hands.

Mu Yangling and Li Jinghua sat with the child for most of the day, and only got up to take the bear back when it was nap time.

Little Treasure wanted to sleep with Little Bear, so Li Jinghua waved his hands like a headache: "Okay, okay, take him away quickly, my brother is much more important than my mother."

Mu Yangling smiled and asked the nanny to hug Xiaobao and walk with her.

Back in the house, the little bear was arched to feed him, and Mu Yangling had fed him before putting him on the bed to sleep with Xiaobao.

Li Chun saw that there was no one else in the room, so he asked curiously: "Fourth grandma, the eldest grandma has been a little weird recently, and even let the second young master and fourth young master play together, and she cares more about grandma than before."
