Entering the winter, it is only a year. The world outside has undergone earth-shaking changes. The whole week is full of wars. Except for Lin'an City, which is relatively stable, wars are taking place in other places. Because the weather is getting colder, the war is temporarily stalemate. Neither the Xixia army nor the rebels went further.

But the situation did not improve. The ministers in the whole court did not have a trace of joy, and Emperor Jingyan, who had always been accustomed to being lazy and enjoying himself, did not breathe a sigh of relief. Because of the cold weather, many people who were homeless due to the war were even more distressed. Exudes a dead air and heavy depression.

Even if the emperor is not smart enough, he will not leave the palace, and he can still feel the oppression on the minister's face.

In the end, they couldn't resolve that repression, and they could only perish in the explosion of that repression.

The outside world is changing, and the Qi Mansion is also changing. Li Jinghua managed to suppress the Wu family's mother-in-law and his daughter-in-law with one-to-three, and successfully mastered the entire Qi Mansion. The servants all bowed down to Li Jinghua's knees.

Zhaohua Court seems to have traveled outside the entire Qi Mansion. Since Xiaobao moved into Zhaohua Courtyard, the access control of Zhaohua Courtyard has been very strict. Behind the two children, it would not take more than two quarters of an hour to leave, but Li Jinghua would come here for food and water, and only two girls, Wen Cui Wen Mian, were with him, making Wu and the others unable to use their means. Li Jinghua is in power completely, and they will not be able to touch those two children.

After the danger of ?? Qi Mansion was within Li Jinghua's controllable range, she began to think about letting her son move back.

Xiaobao, who had been in love with his brother Xiong Xiong for three months, was beaten to death and did not want to go back. He hugged a pillar in Zhaohuayuan and did not let go.

Xiong Xiong didn't know why his brother was crying at all, but seeing his brother crying so miserably, he followed suit. He was healthy and strong. Even though he was nearly a year younger than his brother, the sound of howling still overwhelmed him and shot straight into the sky. .

Li Jinghua didn't expect the two children to react so strongly, and was a little embarrassed for a while.

Mu Yangling tried to reason with them, "Xiaobao, you live in the yard next door, and you come to play with your brother every day, but you don't stay together when you sleep at night, why are you crying?"

Xiaobao sobbed and said, "I want to sleep with my brother." While speaking, he sobbed and looked at her with red and swollen eyes.

Mu Yangling felt that this challenge was a bit big, so he went to see Li Jinghua in uncertainty.

Li Jinghua sighed, squatted in front of Xiaobao and said pitifully: "Xiaobao is going to accompany his brother, don't you want to accompany your mother? My brother is accompanied by my aunt, and my mother lives there alone without anyone to accompany her. Woolen cloth?"

Confusion flashed in Xiaobao's eyes. Although he was smart, he was still young, so he couldn't understand the long words.

Mu Yangling hugged the little bear and said, "The little bear is with my aunt, and Xiaobao is with my mother."

Xiaobao looked at his mother and bear in a tangled manner this time, and finally grabbed his mother and his brother's hand, and said, "Mine."

Mu Yangling looked at him pitifully, "What about auntie?"

Xiaobao waved his hand generously: "Mine!"

Well, now the four of them can live in the same house, but this is impossible, so they are half persuading, half forcing for a long time, Xiaobao still promised to move back to Zhaodetang, but asked to come to accompany the next day brother sleeps.

Mu Yangling is completely fine, Li Jinghua just wanted to take care of his son nearby and didn't want to make him cry, so he agreed.

Although he promised to come back the next day and stay for one night, in fact, this kid would cry at night. There was no other way. In the end, Li Jinghua had to send him over, so he slept with Xiaoxiong in Zhaohuayuan for two or three nights, and then Go back to Zhaodetang to sleep for one night.

Li Jinghua saw that the two brothers were in a good relationship, so she just let it go. Anyway, in her son's heart, her identity as a biological mother will never change.

And the good relationship between the son and the bear is also very good.

She may only have such a child in her whole life, and Qi Xiuyuan will definitely have a concubine in the future, but after all, it was not born by a mother, and there are entanglements of interests. Xiaobao has less brothers to support him. He has a good relationship with Xiaoxiong and is a cousin. In the future, we can help each other and support each other, which is not bad.

Therefore, Li Jinghua let Xiaobao and Xiaoxiong be so good.

The two children grew up and changed almost every day. Mu Yangling bought a lot of fabrics for them, and asked the two girls who had nothing to do in the yard to make clothes for them, not only all the clothes they had before the age of ten. I did, and I did many things of practical or ornamental value.

Qi Haoran didn't come back during the Chinese New Year. He only asked someone to send back a letter. He didn't even have any New Year's goods. Although Qi Xiuyuan was far away, he still brought two carts of New Year's goods, including the things that Mu's and Li's asked him to bring. , According to the manager of the team, they have been walking for a month and a half, and it is very difficult to walk. Not only are there rioters and rioters everywhere, but the road is covered with heavy snow. Even if the road is stable, they will have to delay the time.

Only then did Mu Yangling know that the situation outside had deteriorated to this point.

She hadn't been out for half a year. After she came out of the palace, Mu Yangling consciously did not go out because of the guards outside. Because of the chaos in the outside world, the banquets of the upper-level officials and family members were also reduced by half, and Li Jinghua also did not go out. I am willing to cause trouble at this time, so I stay in the house like Mu Yangling and don't go out.

As for what Mu Yangling wanted to buy, he directly made a list and asked the people under him to buy it. Fan Zijin would send in a sentence every two weeks, but most of the time he asked him if he wanted to help him, and he was denied. After answering, go do your own thing.

Zhu Liang came every three days. One was to report on what happened in Zhuangzi, and the other was to give them some vegetables, fruits and eggs from Zhuangzi, so that they could taste the early adopters. message and prepare their escape route.

But those news are abstract. For example, there is chaos in Tongchuan Prefecture, there is an uprising army, there are estimated to be XX people, the imperial army is not enough and so on, but this team leader has been walking all the way from north to south, almost walking in **** on earth , and because of this, I felt a lot, and it was even more shocking when I talked to Mu Yangling about the specific situation.

Mu Yangling's mood was a little down, and sure enough, when he was prosperous, the people suffered, and when they died, the people suffered even more.

"Isn't the court going to negotiate peace? Why hasn't there been any movement?" Li Jinghua was also very uncomfortable, and women didn't like hearing about these tragic situations.

Mu Yangling knew more about this than Li Jinghua. He heard the words: "Qin Xiang left Beijing early, but there is no news to come back. I heard that the envoy of Jin Guo has sent back news that Jin Guo has agreed to negotiate peace. Yes, but Xixia has been silent."
