Chastity Layman

"Dalang, you Baba is back, call Baba quickly!"

In Duke Yi's mansion, the child's wet nurse, Mrs. Xian, greeted Qin Lang with Qin Jun in her arms, and taught the child to call Baba. This Xian family is the daughter-in-law of Feng An, the governor of Bazhou, including Gaoluo, the local king of Lingnan. Her husband, Feng Zhidai, is Feng An's thirteenth son and is now a minor official in Chang'an Honglu Temple. In fact, it was the proton sent by Feng An to the court.

Feng An has many sons, it is said that there are thirty sons, a son like Feng Zhidai is not worth much, but this Feng Shisan is very active in Chang'an City, he is a frequent visitor of Pingkangfang, he treats guests for three days and rents out the place for five days , Spending money like water, in fact, is to make DPRK-China relations for the Feng family.

After he knew that Duke Yi's mansion had chosen a wet nurse, he used his connections to send his own woman into the mansion.

The name Baba, also known as father, was written as early as in Guangyali, a book in the Three Kingdoms period. Dad originally meant Nanyi's name for father. It was called Baba or Baba, and then the word Ba was added to father to become dad. It is said that Baba was first called by Nanyi as an old man, and later gradually became the meaning of father.

The Feng family is a slang, that is, the later Li nationality. She was born in the Xian family of the Lingnan aborigines, that is, the clan of Mrs. Xian. The marriage between the Feng and Xian families for generations, and the union of native and Han people formed the largest local power in Lingnan. In fact, the Feng family in Lingnan still occupies Luozhou, Leizhou Peninsula, Hainan Island and other places, joining forces with the Xian family. The powerful chieftains such as the Chen family and the Ning family are no match for them.

There was a faint milky smell in the air.

Mrs. Xian herself has a little over one-year-old child who has plenty of milk and is rather petite and slender, but the grain bag is extremely plump. Qin Lang sometimes admires the Xian family. Her husband is not only a sixth-rank Beijing official, but also the son of the King of Lingnan. She is also the daughter of the Xian family, the number one ethnic group in Lingnan, but she can still quickly adapt to the living habits here in Chang'an. Would like to come to his house to be a wet nurse, really amazing.

The son had just had milk, but he was very energetic. After a while, he didn't seem to have forgotten Qin Lang. He danced happily at him and let out a laugh. Qin Lang suddenly felt exhausted from the road.

After receiving the son's high lifts, the boy smiled even more happily, but Yu Xiao who rushed over was terrified, for fear that the child would fall, but Xian thought it was nothing.

Qin Lang took a special look at the back of his son's head, he saw that the pillow was bald, and his head was slightly flat.

"There's no need to put your child on a flat head."

Although it is a tradition to sleep with a flat head, Qin Lang thinks it is unnecessary, because he has also raised children and understands the pros and cons of it.

The child has a tiger head and a tiger head, with thick black hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, he is indeed the breed of a general.

"When I come back this time, I won't leave for the time being."

Yuxiao was very happy to hear it, and Yu Xuanji, Xilin, Anna, etc. also liked it very much. In this house, the male master is not around, so it still feels a bit lacking.

"A Lang, you just came back, and the road is full of dust and dust, so I will help A Lang to wash up first!" Yu Xuanji preempted.

Both Sirin and Anna regretted being one step too late.

Yuxiao helped his son tuck the corner of his clothes, "Ah Lang just came back, sister let him rest for a while."

Women understand women, and they don't know what it's like to stay alone in an empty room for several months, but she is more considerate of Qin Lang, afraid that he will be tired.

Yu Xuanji responded with a smile on the surface, but still hugged Qin Lang and went.

The bathroom over there had already prepared hot water, soap, clothes, etc., as soon as he entered the door, Yu Xuanji immediately drove the servants away, and impatiently undressed Qin Lang.

"Alang, I want to die as a slave, next time I go out, I must bring my slave with me."

"good."

Qin Lang responded with a smile.

The bathroom is dense, with dry firewood and a fire, which is quite a bit of warmth.

When he came out again, Qin Lang already felt refreshed and extremely comfortable, while Yu Xuanji deliberately asked the maid to go in and help her out.

"Ah Lang, my lord has called you over, Your Majesty is in the residence." Qin Yong came over.

After Qin Lang heard this, he had no choice but to cancel the dinner plan, changed his clothes and went to the Duke of Qi's mansion.

He picked up a cartload of gifts brought back from Saibei and brought them to Duke Qi's mansion. Cui and his brothers and sisters all got a share, and even the old housekeeper Fu Bo and others also got a gift.

When visiting Mrs. Cui, I accidentally met Zheng Shisanniang, who is now named Jieyu.

Qin Lang gave her a gold inlaid jade pendant.

Zheng Shisanniang hesitated for a while, but finally accepted.

"Thank you, Lord Yi, for your generous gift."

Cui Zhengben is also an in-law. When Zheng Shisanniang was a tutor in Qi Guogong's mansion, Cui Shi treated her very well. This time, I came here to chat.

"I'm going to pay my respects to Your Majesty first!"

Even without Cui's presence, Qin Lang didn't know what to talk about with Zheng Shisanniang, after all, the two of them had never spoken a few words, it was just a very distorted relationship.

The reason for giving her a gift is only because she is more favored in the palace now, and she is also a daughter of the Zheng family, so she intends to repair some relationship.

lobby.

Qin Lang pays homage to the emperor.

Li Shimin smiled and called him up, "It's getting darker."

"The black spot is good, the province is too handsome, which makes people criticize the minister as a lucky minister and a traitor."

"You are a capable and loyal minister!" the emperor said.

In the hall, Cheng Qian also greeted Qin Lang with a smile.

Qin Lang winked at him, feeling that he was still worthless.

The fourth son of the Qin family, Qin Li, Qin Huaidao, is now the Duke of Jinan County, and the sixth son of the Qin family, Qin Gui, Qin Shandao, has just been conferred the title of Duke of Guangyang County. The fifth Qin Xun is the son of the Duke of Qi.

Although each of them is young, they are already distinguished.

"Your son didn't come?" Li Shimin asked.

"I brought it, and I am visiting the mistress with my concubine."

"Call me over and let me have a look, the county magistrate of Licheng whom I bestowed, to see if it's another general!"

Qin Jun, the county magistrate of Licheng, is not yet one year old.

Li Shimin carried the child over, he didn't know what an emperor was, so he stretched out his hand to grab Li Shimin's chin, which had been cut off from the beard. The beard on the chin was gone and he couldn't grab it, so he simply grabbed the mouth. Li Shimin was very happy.

"This is my grandson, my first grandson, who is strong enough and bold enough, and will definitely be a great general who can charge into battle in the future!"

The emperor had just finished boasting, and immediately felt a warmth on his arm.

At first glance, good guy, he actually peed on his hand. Li Shimin just pulled his leg away, but the little guy directly faced Li Shimin's face and urinated a lot.

Li Shimin was stunned, unexpectedly being successfully attacked.

Over there, Qin Lang almost couldn't hold back his laughter, and hurried up to take it, pleading guilty to the emperor.

"Good guy!" Li Shimin wiped the urine off his face and shook his head helplessly.

He stretched out his hand to get revenge and grabbed the little guy's leg, but the little guy smiled at him instead.

Pei Xingjian hurried to ask someone to fetch water and a towel to wipe the emperor's face.

I washed my face.

Li Shimin asked Qin Lang about the war.

"Your Majesty, the last time we acted in the northern border, it was indeed a little risky. What we need most now is not to start a war. Now the season is not suitable. We have not yet secured the newly occupied land in the north, and there are not many frontline soldiers. Therefore, it is better to defend than to attack. , we should first stabilize these newly acquired lands, and deploy more troops to the front line."

"Don't fight? But you have fought before, and now my Tang Dynasty has the upper hand, but you say you don't want to fight?"

Qin Lang still shook his head.

"The previous victories were actually not achieved by fighting. They were more intimidating victories. But last time we threatened Liang Shidu and Yuan Junzhang. I intentionally attached myself, so I just gave a push, but Xieli still has relatively strong strength."

Qin Lang still advised Li Shimin to take every step at every step and not fight unprepared battles.

"Attacking the heart is the top priority, and attacking the city is the bottom. First contact Tuli, Zheshe, etc., and even contact the Mobei Tiele tribes, and let them rise up to fight Jieli. It is good for me to take advantage of the fisherman in the Tang Dynasty. Only a few letters are needed. Why do you have to send out troops and horses with great fanfare when the edict is issued and can be solved with a few big fanfare?"

"Only convincing is the real convincing!" Li Shimin said slowly.

"Your Majesty, there must be a decisive battle sooner or later, but we have to wait a little bit longer. Isn't it easier and sweeter to pick the melon when it is riper?"

"I originally planned to declare a decisive battle with Jieli next year, and I also planned to let you preside over the Northern Expedition."

However, Qin Lang didn't believe it at all. If there was a decisive battle next year, there would definitely be an army from all walks of life, and there would be a large number of famous generals in the court. It would not be Qin Lang's turn to preside over such a battle.

"Your Majesty, after sending Grandpa back to Beijing this time, I want to stay in the court. The new situation in Saibei requires a more mature and prudent veteran to preside over the overall situation. I am far from enough in terms of qualifications and age."

"That old black Yuchi Gong, in order to fight for the position of the governor of Dingxiang, even scolded Li Jing and wanted to fight. You are good. I asked you to be the deputy governor and preside over the governor of Anbei, but you ran back No." The emperor shook his head.

However, there was not much dissatisfaction in his tone, it was obvious that he had already known Qin Lang's thoughts, and he didn't even object.

In fact, Li Shimin was still a little hesitant about whether to hand over the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate to Qin Lang, and now Qin Lang was taking this decision for him.

"In fact, I think that if you send any general in Saibei, they can live in the town. This is not a big problem. It is not a problem for Yu Chigong, Li Yaoshi or Chai Shao to go, even if you let Li Daliang or Duan Decao stay behind. It's all possible. The real problem in Saibei now is the Turks and the Hu tribes attached to it. I feel that His Majesty trusts them too much. There is a problem with the plan to place them in the five governor's mansions and ten Zhengzhous. .”

"These internal Hu people should be accepted, but they should be accepted more carefully. They cannot be simply moved inward, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

"These attached tribes are only larger than Qin Guozhong's tribe, and the others are small tribes with hundreds or thousands of people. What harm will there be?" the emperor said indifferently.

"Your Majesty, although there are only a few hundred thousand people attached to Hu, if they cannot be properly settled, then these hundreds of thousands may one day become our confidant's troubles, which are more serious than the border troubles in the past!" Qin Lang solemnly reminded the emperor.

"Then what do you suggest?"
