The sister-in-law and sister-in-law talked for nearly an hour before Xiao Fei left.
In the Dongci room, only Nangong Yue was left, and the room was quiet.
It was approaching noon, and the warm sun made people feel lazy. Nangong Yue leaned lazily by the window, her eyes were half-lidded, her cherry lips were slightly pursed, and her mood was spinning quickly.
Who made Xiao Fei, who has always had a bumpy face in marriage, look at her differently, and who showed some signs of enlightenment? !
There are only a handful of men who can get in touch with Xiao Fei. In the past few days, Xiao Fei has never been out of the house while staying in the palace. The last time she went out was Wan Qingshan's winter hunting
Thinking about it, Nangong Yue thought, could it be that what happened during the winter hunting days caused Xiao Fei's usually calm heart to have some ripples
The leaves outside the window swayed with the wind, making a rustling sound. A chubby orange cat poked its head out from the branches and leaves. Its golden cat eyes met Nangong Yue's eyes without blinking, and then let out a soft "meow" "Woo", as if agreeing with her guess.
The orange cat stared at Nangong Yue vigilantly for a moment, and found that she was alone without that naughty dumpling beside her, so it breathed a sigh of relief, and licked its paw leisurely.
Seeing the change in Mao'er's expression, Nangong Yue couldn't help but hook her lips. She leaned her elbows on the window sill and continued to think with her chin resting, recalling what happened during the winter hunting.
If there was anything special that happened to Xiao Fei during the winter hunting days, it was probably only the incident where she got lost in Wanqing Mountain. Except for the ferret, the middle never left the camp.
Nangong Yue still remembered that Baihui told her that Xiao Fei was found and brought back to the camp by Chang Huaixi and Yan Xijun that night.
Could it be that it was one of them who made Xiao Fei look different? !
Nangong Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, thoughtfully.
I'm afraid it won't be Chang Huaixi
Before, Xiao Fei told herself that the Chang family was good, if it was Chang Huaixi, Xiao Fei didn't need to hesitate, she just had to tell herself, could it be—
Is it Yan Xijun? !
If it is really Yan Xijun, Yan's family background is not obvious, his family style is not good, and Yan Xijun is a concubine
Thinking about it, Nangong Yue hesitated, raised her eyes to look at the orange cat on the branch again, frowning slightly.
Did she guess "Xiaoju" right
Nangong Yue stared at the orange cat's round face as if asking, the orange cat tilted its head and looked at her innocently, as if saying, how does it know!
Immediately, Xiaoju curled up safely on the branch, licked the fluff on her neck, basked in the sun and continued to take her afternoon nap.
Seeing the orange hair ball sleeping so soundly, Nangong Yue couldn't help being infected with drowsiness, and yawned lazily, her eyelids were heavy, unconsciously, she leaned against the window and drowsily fell asleep
Even the breeze in the yard can't bear to wake up the person and the cat, the wind becomes more gentle
Compared to Nangong Yue's leisurely life, Bixiaotang and even Luoyue City were extremely busy for the New Year.
When you are busy, the days pass quickly, and a few days fly by in the blink of an eye. On the thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, another batch of southern border troops returned from the western border with great momentum. This time the leader is Han Huaijun.
When Han Huaijun came down to the outer study of Bixiao Hall under the guidance of Zhuzi, the sun had already begun to set.
Several windows in the outer study room were wide open, and the golden sunlight softly sprinkled on Xiao Yi's handsome face through the windows.
Time flies, and it has been three years since Han Huaijun came to southern Xinjiang with Bai Yi last time. To him, Xiao Yi's study looked strange but seemed familiar. After three years, his identity has also undergone an earth-shaking change. Variety.
After picking up the curtain and entering the room, Han Huaijun immediately saw Xiao Yi waving at him with a smile, "Ah Jun, come and sit!"
Xiao Yi's casual tone and demeanor were the same as those in Wangdu back then.
Han Huaijun stood there in a daze, almost thinking that he was in the capital at the moment, almost thinking that time had turned back, and the word "big brother" subconsciously blurted out.
Many years ago, he lost to Xiao Yi, and he was willing to admit defeat, so he called Xiao Yi, who was younger than him, "big brother". Naturally, he felt a little awkward in his heart, and he was not as convincing as Fu Yunhe and Yuan Lingbai.
But today is different
Now that he is serving under the command of the Southern Border Army, he originally planned to call Xiao Yi honorably "the son of the world", but he did not expect Xiao Yi to be the same as before. That dude who is not afraid of anything.
Han Huaijun's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and he smiled.
Scholars died for their confidantes, and it was also because of Xiao Yi like this that Guan Yubai, Yao Lianghang, Fu Yunhe, and thousands of soldiers in southern Xinjiang united as one, and even Pingyanghou also joined the Zhennan Palace.
For a moment, Han Huaijun's thoughts surged in his heart, thinking of the former emperor, the new emperor, Xijiang, and the decayed Dayu Dynasty Hall.
Han Huaijun settled down, with a hint of determination at the corner of his mouth, he strode to the armchair by the window and sat down, just a table away from Xiao Yi.
After Zhuzi served tea for the two of them, he retreated silently.
Afterwards, Lord Han Huai talked to Xiao Yi about serious matters. Now Xijiang no longer belongs to Dayu, but is under Xiye Commandery. In the past few months, they have finally recruited the original Xiye Army to supplement the troops stationed in Xiye County. With Ye's troops and Yao Lianghang staying there to take care of them, there should be nothing wrong with Xiye, so Xiao Yi ordered Han Huaijun to lead 10,000 Southern Border troops back from Xijiang.
The clear and clear voices of the two young people echoed in the study room from time to time until Zhu Zi came in to speak after a stick of incense, and then they walked out of the study room. From a distance, they saw several familiar figures walking towards them.
Jiang Yixi, Han Qixia, Yuan Yuyi, and Xiao Yu, who was held by Nangong Yue, all walked towards Han Huaijun and Xiao Yi.
However, in Han Huaijun's eyes, there is only room for one person.
A few tens of feet away, Jiang Yixi was wearing a green lotus-colored silk gown with grape patterns, the black silk was tied into a peony bun, and the red gold phoenix hairpin inlaid with pearls in her temples shone brightly in the afterglow of the setting sun. She obviously dressed up on purpose.
Han Huaijun strode towards his wife with burning eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up involuntarily, his handsome and clear face softened a lot. ..
In less than a year, so much has happened!
At one point, he almost thought that he would never be able to reunite with Jiang Yixi in this life, that the husband and wife would be separated forever until they were buried in the ground.
Han Huaijun's eyes are a little sour, and God has mercy on him, he still has her! They can still meet again in this place thousands of miles away from the capital.
Jiang Yixi was a little embarrassed by Han Huaijun's scorching eyes, her fair and beautiful face was stained with a peach blossom-like blush, and she called softly: "Ah Jun."
Jiang Yixi felt relieved, it was better than anything else that he could return safely!
Nangong Yue, Han Qixia and Yuan Yuyi looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths were filled with playful smiles.
They had already known from Xiao Yi that Mr. Han Huai would come back in the next few days. At noon today, as soon as Mr. Han Huai arrived at the camp in Luoyue City, someone hurriedly came to Bixiao Hall to report the news. Nangong Yue hurriedly sent someone to bring Jiang Yixi and Han Qixia over. , Notified Yuan Yuyi again.
After a while, Mr. Han Huai finally came to his senses, cleared his throat in embarrassment, and greeted Han Qixia, Yuan Yuyi and others one after another.
Afterwards, his eyes naturally fell on the youngest person among the crowd.
Xiao Xiaoyu was wearing the same purple robe as his father, and the father and son seemed to be carved out of the same mold. The little guy held his mother's skirt with one hand, raised his face and looked at Han Huaijun curiously.
"Brother Yu, this is your uncle of the Han family." Jiang Yixi introduced while looking at the little guy with a smile.
"Uncle." The little guy called out kindly, smiling brightly. He knew that every aunt, aunt and uncle, as well as foster father, would treat him very well.
Knowing that this is his uncle, the little guy stopped carefully examining Mr. Han Huai, and walked directly from his mother's side to him, gesturing for a hug with both arms.
Han Huaijun glanced at Jiang Yixi in bewilderment, and with her encouragement, he hugged the little guy up, his posture was very stiff.
The others couldn't help laughing at them. They were familiar with each other, and they were probably close relatives. The atmosphere quickly became warm.
"Cousin Jun, we will welcome you tonight!" Yuan Yuyi said with a smile, as if the master greeted everyone to go to Shu Zhi Hall
At this time, most of the setting sun had set, and the sky was dim, and octagonal palace lanterns began to be lit in every corner of the mansion, illuminating the road ahead. continuously
As the Chinese New Year approached, Luoyue city could be said to be full of good news.
In Xiye County, the twelve clans of Xiye all surrendered to the Zhennan Palace, and the remnants of Xiye who had fled before were also wiped out one by one. Therefore, the soldiers of the Southern Xinjiang Army stationed in Xiye returned to Southern Xinjiang one after another, leaving only 30,000 people in Xiye and 10,000 people stationed in Feixia Mountain.
At the same time, Baiyue County, Xiye County, Nanliang County, Qili County and other counties also sent New Year gifts to Luoyue City. Quite a few people gathered around to watch, all the people were excited and proud.
Nangong Yue selected some New Year gifts from various counties, and gave them to some mansions in the city as New Year gifts.
For the next few days, people in the city talked lively about the New Year's ceremony, which also made the city's New Year atmosphere more intense.
As the New Year's Eve approaches, all the houses and shops in the city are decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the people are all beaming with joy.
On the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, a white carrier pigeon fluttered into Bixiao Hall. The carrier pigeon was sent from Xiye County. In this letter, it was reported that an epidemic had broken out near Emerald City. About 10% of the people in several small towns and villages were infected with the epidemic. Fortunately, they were discovered in time, and those patients were uniformly differentiated and treated in isolation. Although nearly half of the patients infected with the epidemic have died so far, they are finally under control. The spread of the disease did not continue to spread to other towns, and there have been no new patients for five days.
This letter is from Cheng Yu.
Apart from Marquis Pingyang, Cheng Yu is now also in Xiye County. Before that, Cheng Yu was in Nanliang County assisting Tian He in managing political affairs and people's livelihood. After Huang Hetai rushed to Nanliang County, Cheng Yu was finally able to let go. He was then sent to Xiye County by Xiao Yi, and now Cheng Yu is the main one, with Marquis Pingyang as the assistant, temporarily in charge of Xiye County's political affairs and people's livelihood.
Xiao Yi came directly to Qingyunwu after receiving the letter from Feige. No one greeted him, so he turned into Guan Yubai's study familiarly. Guan Yubai was sitting behind a torreya chessboard and playing chess with himself.
"Xiaobai, look at it"
Xiao Yi casually threw the secret letter to Guan Yubai, and studied the half-played chess game with great interest, only to see that the black and white pieces were indistinguishable from each other, and the smoke filled Xiao Yi's hands. , picked up a white piece from the chess box and dropped it.
Almost in the next moment, a sunspot also fell down.
Xiao Yi looked up, and saw that Guan Yubai had put down the tissue paper in his hand and put it aside casually, obviously finished reading the letter.
Xiao Yi looked down at the chess game in front of him again, decisively dropped another white piece, and said at the same time: "Ah Yue didn't worry about the mass grave in the eastern suburbs of Emerald City before, so I just ordered someone to burn it down." It looks like the fire is well timed!"
Without that fire, the epidemic in Emerald City would have been even worse!
Guan Yubai picked up another sunspot with his left hand, tapped the chessboard twice with his right hand, and muttered, "Since ancient times, the prevalence of epidemic diseases has often been related to natural disasters. Polluted water sources have always been the source of epidemics, Ah Yi, I would like to ask old doctor Lin how to prevent and reduce epidemics."
Throughout history, there are countless outbreaks of epidemics, such as cholera and plague, with a high fatality rate. Once the epidemic is out of control, countless deaths are shocking. They have also witnessed the horror of epidemics in Yinglan Palace. Preventing epidemics is also a matter of People's livelihood must be taken seriously.
Guan Yubai let go of Heizi, and said again: "This time the epidemic is also a wake-up call." He looked at his still not very flexible right hand, and his eyes were calm. Speaking of which, it is worthwhile to exchange his right hand for the lives of tens of thousands of people.
On the chessboard, black pieces and white pieces are in a mixed formation, the two of them only made a few moves, and the white pieces were already faintly showing signs of defeat, but Xiao Yi didn't care, and resolutely continued to attack the black pieces, only attacking but not defending.
After the "snap" landed, Xiao Yi stretched his neck, caught off guard and moved his face to Guan Yubai, and said solemnly: "Xiao Bai, I have always been a meritocracy, and I always say that I am fascinated by it, why haven't you learned anything?" ?”
Guan Yubai was still not doing well, Xiao Si was once again startled by Xiao Yi's bragging and brazenness, and almost fell from the tree outside.
After so many years, Xiao Si is still not used to this Xiao Shizi's non-shocking and endless talk.
Xiaosi outside the window looked down at Guan Yubai and Xiao Yi, then looked away calmly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. How could he not know that Xiao Yi was persuading the young master to properly hand things over to the people below, not to work too hard, and not to do everything by himself
Xiao Si can understand how Guan Yubai doesn't understand. After being stunned, a little smile flashed in his dark eyes, and he said meaningfully: "Ayi, speaking, there is one more thing that must be left to you." Contribute', and 'come forward'!"
Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows suspiciously. Seeing this, the smile in Guan Yubai's eyes grew stronger, and he said: "Now that the counties are settled down, we can use the New Year's merits and rewards to redefine the military system."
The establishment of a state with military force in southern Xinjiang is related to the military system, Xiao Yi also understands its importance, and listens attentively.
Guan Yubai continued: "The military ranks of Dayu are all used in the Southern Border Army now, but since Southern Border has become independent, the military system must be changed to be different from Dayu."
Changing the military system for no reason is likely to cause turmoil in the army. It is better to take advantage of the situation and shift the focus by taking advantage of the large rewards this time.
The official language makes sense, but Xiao Yi feels his head hurts. The end of the year, and the time before the new year is not much, the military system is like the law, there are many terms and conditions that need to be considered, and you have to learn from it. From the perspective of history, I and Xiaobai will be busy for a while again!
but
Xiao Yi thought of something again, raised his eyebrows, looked at Guan Yubai with a smile, and asked deliberately: "Xiao Bai, then do you want this An Yihou to continue to put on a show?"
Guan Yubai was taken aback for a moment, then smiled lightly, calm and breezy.
With a bang, another white piece fell from his hand.
