Chapter 161 Letters and Replies
"Okay." Zong Yanli was stunned for a moment and then nodded. She really had forgotten about this again.
"Also, when I was passing through Dongji City, I met your sister. She asked me to deliver a box of clothes, saying that they were bought for you and asked you to take care of yourself." Wang Ming said that the box of clothes was also tied to the grain cart.
"Gao Feilin, follow Wang Ming and get it for me." Zong Yanli turned and instructed Gao Feilin.
"Yes." Gao Feilin agreed, and then went out with Wang Ming.
Zong Yanli sat down at the table and unfolded the letter sent by his mother. The content of the letter was pretty much the same, just talking about some trivial matters at home. However, it could be seen that Han might have let go of a lot of things now, and she even joked in the letter that many people in the capital wanted to marry her.
Zong Yanli now has both fame and power, but I wonder how many people want to curry favor with him.
Many people had said this in the past, but nowadays the threshold for marriage proposals is getting higher and higher. If there were not no princesses of marriageable age in the palace, I am afraid the emperor would have granted the marriage.
Han rejected some unimportant people, but did not reject some others, saying that Zong Yanli's marriage was up to him and that she, as a mother, had no say in it. Gradually, people in the capital were looking forward to Zong Yanli's return.
Zong Yanli felt a headache when he saw this. He couldn't even imagine what a terrible scene it would be if he returned to Beijing now...
Looking further on, there are letters from Zong Yanyin, most of which talk about her daughter. She also complains that Zong Yanli came back too shortly and didn't even leave a portrait. She wanted her daughter to recognize her uncle, but could only give a brief description.
Then she mentioned that Concubine Gao had often invited them mother and daughter to the palace to talk recently, and she seemed very intimate and friendly. She even said that when her daughter grew up, she would enter the palace to accompany the prince to study.
Zong Yanyin was somewhat afraid of these people in the palace and felt uneasy, so she asked Zong Yanli in the letter what to do.
Zong Yanli finished reading the letter from home with a somewhat relaxed smile on his face.
This was the scene Wen Nian saw when he came in. Before he could say anything, he heard Zong Yanli call him in a brisk voice, "You've come just in time. Grind the ink for me."
"Yes." Wen Nian was stunned for a moment, and just as he walked forward and sat down, he saw Gao Feilin coming in with a suitcase: "General, where should I put this?"
"Put it wherever you want." Zong Yanli raised his eyes to take a look, asked Gao Feilin to put it down, then lowered his head to unfold the paper and began to write a reply.
After replying to the letters from her mother and sister, she went to read the letters sent by Zong Yanhongjing. Compared with the letters from her mother and sister, most of what her father wrote in his letters were about serious matters, such as the military, some changes in the court, and some reminders to her.
Although Qing Kingdom is currently in a weak position, they also warned her not to underestimate the enemy under any circumstances.
Although there is not a single word of concern in the whole article, it seems to be full of the father's worry.
Zong Yanli wrote a reply to his father. When he saw the suitcase that had been delivered, he frowned slightly and turned around to write another letter, briefly thanking Lei Qimei. He asked Wang Ming to keep all of them and take them with him when he returned.
Wang Ming kept it close to him. Zong Yanli thought that he had just arrived, and since there was nothing important in Pingnan Camp, he let him stay for two more days.
"I can't find anything good in this place." Zong Yanli said bitterly: "You must have seen along the way that the current situation of Qing Kingdom is really precarious."
"After we go back, ask my father to report more often. Food is the primary need of the people. It is necessary to grow grain and store grain." Zong Yanli said with a deep sigh.
"Yes, I understand." Wang Ming nodded in response.
Zong Yanli took Wang Ming for a tour around the army. Wang Ming's eyes lit up as he looked at the increasingly powerful soldiers under Zong Yanli's command, and were filled with admiration and pride.
Turning his head to look at Zong Yanli standing in front of him, he actually found it hard to imagine that the young master who used to sigh all day long in the old house of Zong Yan's family, would one day grow up to be what he is now!
When they arrived at the training ground, they happened to see Yan Yingshan competing with Zhu Jin. The two brothers loved to compete with each other when they had nothing to do.
They have been fighting for so many years, and almost everyone in the military tent has fought against them.
Zong Yanli stopped and watched for a moment. Pei Liang saw Zong Yanli with his sharp eyes and shouted, "Haven't you two wanted to fight the general for a long time?"
"Come on, come on! General, you haven't competed with anyone for a long time. Would you like to try?" Pei Liang really likes to watch the fun.
"..."Zong Yanli found it a little funny.
It was true that ever since Zong Yanli took command of the army, the generals had not personally taken part in the battles, and there was even less time for military competitions and martial arts training. They only practiced with swords in the mornings, and at most practiced a few moves with Wen Nian.
Zong Yanli was itching to do something after hearing what Pei Liang said, and Yan Yingshan and Zhu Jin next to him were also ready to make a move.
Zong Yanli smiled, walked into the training ground, looked at the two brothers and said with a smile: "It's rare to have this free time, let's try it."
"You two come together." Zong Yanli turned around and picked out his usual long sword from the weapon rack next to him.
"That's a shame!" Yan Yingshan and Zhu Jin were overjoyed. They turned around and chose their weapons eagerly. They didn't dare to fight alone. This guy still needs to know himself!
"Quick, go call Mr. Gongsun and Mr. Wujiu to come and watch the fun." Pei Liang was extremely excited. He turned around with a smile and asked the soldiers around him to call people.
In a blink of an eye, the parade ground was crowded with people. Fu Jiashi came over after hearing the noise and was very curious about Zong Yanli's fighting ability and martial arts skills.
Now that I have the opportunity to watch, I naturally came to join in the fun. As soon as I arrived, I saw Yan Yingshan and Zhu Jin, the two guys, cooperating very well and rushing straight towards Zong Yanli, one attacking up and the other attacking down. It seems that they have practiced a lot in their daily life.
"Are these two men under the command of General Long Feiguang of the White Eagle Army?" Fu Jiashi recognized the two men and had a general understanding of their strength. He had often seen them competing with others in the training ground.
"General, can you fight two people alone?" Although Fu Jiashi knew that Zong Yanli was famous, he had never met him in person, so he was worried.
"Haha!" Gongsun Pu and Zhan Haoyue came together and just happened to hear Fu Jiashi's question. Gongsun Pu immediately laughed and said, "That's more than enough."
"Although my fifth and sixth brothers have grown a lot following the general over the years, but..." Gongsun Pu thought of Zong Yanli back then. Didn't he think that Zong Yanli had not grown at all?
While everyone was talking, the three people on the training ground had already fought several rounds.
Zong Yanli did not show any sign of fatigue when facing the two enemies, and even looked very comfortable. A careful person could see that Zong Yanli's control over strength was much stronger now than when she was fifteen years old.
