The sky at the end of June was too hot. When I walked out of the house, a wave of heat hit my face. The sun has also become a big stove, and the whole earth seems to be roasted.
Yuxi returned from the front yard to the back yard, too hot. Mother Quan quickly took out the watermelon in the well and gave it to Yuxi. It's strange to say that Yuxi, she doesn't like things that are chilled with ice cubes. In fact, during periods of extreme heat, eating some food does not affect the body, but Ok-hee doesn't like it.
After eating two pieces of iced watermelon, Yuxi felt a lot more refreshed: "I don't know how the prince and Ahao are now?" She just returned from the front yard to the back yard. After walking so few steps, it was too hot. The father and son on the grassland still don't know how.
Mother Quan said with a smile: "I think the prince and the son are okay, but they are the big princess, I am afraid that it will be difficult in Yucheng." In the mansion, Zaozao lived in the coolest bamboo garden in the mansion. You have to put two buckets of ice to fall asleep. Now in Yucheng, there are no conditions for the palace.
Yuxi said: "Yin Zhaofeng wrote to me two days ago, saying that Zaozao wants to come back. It's just that the doctor said he would raise another one, and I intend to let her come back with the prince."
Mother Quan smiled and said: "The princess must have stayed in Yucheng uncomfortably before wanting to go home." In the impression of Mother Quan, Zaozao is a person who does not miss home.
"This is just the beginning, and there will still be suffering in the future." The female general is not so good, just like her, she has suffered a lot to be able to go to this day.
The grandmother agreed with Yuxi's words and said, "This road is really not easy to walk." Woman, no matter what you do in this world, it's not that easy.
After lunch, I had a conversation with Grandma, and then I lay down. No matter how hot it is, I still have to take a nap. If not, I will be out of energy in the afternoon.
Yuxi in her sleep felt that someone was shaking herself, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Meilan next to her bed. Seeing Meilan's excited look, Yuxi probably knew what had happened.
Meilan said excitedly: "Wang Hao, the good news is coming. The prince defeated the Northern Captive Barbarians and killed the Northern Captive King." Meilan's father died in the hands of the Northern Captives, so Yun Qing now defeated the Northern Captives. She would be so excited when people killed King Beijiao again.
A smile appeared on Yuxi's face, but she was not as excited as Meilan. Yuxi said, "Bring me the clothes." She was awake, and it was impossible to sleep again.
As soon as I got dressed, I heard the messy footsteps outside, and I knew it was triplets without telling Yuxi.
When Rui brother saw Yuxi, he clutched the sleeves of her clothes and asked, "Mother, I just heard that Dad killed King Beijiao, is this true?" Chuan Lingbing began to preach from the gate of the palace. Now, not to mention the triplets, everyone else in the palace also knew about it.
Yuxi smiled and said: "It's true. But my mother just got up and hasn't read the good news from the front. The specifics are still unclear."
Brother Rui was so excited that his face blushed: "Mother, when will father be back?" He is proud of having such a father.
The most calm of the triplets is Brother You: "Second Brother can ask this, and Dad will come back when he should come back." In fact, Brother You is also very excited, but he is more stable than Brother Rui .
Yuxi smiled and said, "Mother, there is still something to deal with, you go back to class." Yun Qing's victory is a happy event, but there are still many things to deal with after the war, and I don't know how many casualties there will be in this decisive battle.
Hearing this, Brother Rui said dryly: "Mother, Dad killed the King of the North Captives and destroyed the North Captives. Should such a big event be celebrated?" He doesn't want to go to school, he wants to be lazy for a day!
Brother You gave a white look at Brother Rui, so careful thinking about this can't be concealed!
Yuxi nodded and said, "It must be a celebration, but you have to wait for your father to come back. Now, go to class quickly and don't let your husband wait." Fortunately, Brother Xuan and Brother You both love to learn. They looked at Brother Rui and saved her a lot of things. Otherwise, Brother Rui is afraid that he will go the old way of jujube.
After leaving the yard, Brother Rui said in a low voice: "I really envy Big Brother." Envy Qihao could go out with Yun Qing, watching his father's domineering look when he killed Beibei.
Brother You smiled and said: "There is no way, who made us small!" Brother You knew very well why Yun Qing would take his eldest brother when he sent troops to the North. The so-called martial arts talents and intelligence are all excuses. The real reason is that the eldest brother is the eldest son and the future heir.
Brother Xuan weakly intervened and said, "I think it's good to be a kid." He shouldn't go to war with him, it's too dangerous.
When Yuxi arrived in the front yard, everyone was full of joy. When Xu Daniu saw Yuxi, he exclaimed happily: "The princess, the prince killed the North Captive." The soldiers who came out of Yucheng hated the North Captive Barbarians. Because the northern barbarians destroyed their homes and killed their families and colleagues.
Xu Wu walked in from the side door and saw Yuxi with a smile on his face: "Wang Hao, the good news is on the table." Except for Xu Wu and Xu Daniu, no one else could enter the study.
Yuxi smiled and nodded before entering the house.
Xu Daniu touched his head and said, "Boss, why do I look at the princess not very happy?"
Xu Wu patted Xu Daniu's head and said with a smile: "Which eye do you see the princess unhappy? Do you think the princess is like you, silly and happy?" The princess has won such a big victory, how could the princess not be? Happy. It's just that the princess is more introverted, not as emotional as they are.
On the table, there were not only the good news ahead, but also the letter from Yun Qing and Qihao.
Ten lines of good news at a glance, read it as quickly as possible. In Yun Qing's letter, it was written that the Beijiao incident was over, and he would return to Gaocheng soon. On the contrary, Qi Hao said in the letter that Yun Qing's injury had healed a lot, and he wanted to heal well.
After reading Brother Hao's letter, Yuxi raised her brows and said, "I was fooled." If only his arm was injured, it would have been a long time. I was afraid that not only the arm was injured, but also other places. But because Yun Qing was not in danger of life, Yuxi didn't worry about it.
Calling Xu Wu into the house, Yuxi said, "Send people to invite Tan Tuo, Shen Chunting, and Yuan Ying." The Beijiao war is nearing its end, and it is time to prepare for the post-war affairs.
Xu Wu nodded and said, "Wang Hao, do you still need martial law in the city?" According to Xu Wu's statement, the battle ahead has been completed, and there is no need for martial law in the city.
Yuxi said, "No need." Even if Yan Wushuang wanted to sabotage now, she wasn't afraid.
And the three of Tan Tuo discussed the matter after the war for another afternoon. The talk was not finished until it was getting dark.
As soon as she got out of the house, Meilan said, "Wang Hao, the second uncle is here, and she is waiting in the backyard now!" Lu came half an hour, knowing that Yuxi was talking to the minister, she waited patiently in the backyard. .
Seeing Yuxi with a tired face, Lu Xiu felt that she had come at a wrong time.
Yuxi washed her face and drank a bowl of iced mung beans before sitting down and asking, "Second sister-in-law, what's the matter?"
Lu Xiu smiled and said: "I heard that the prince won a complete victory. Congratulations! Yuxi, the prince killed the North Captive and killed the North Captive King. This feat will be passed down through the ages."
When Yuxi heard this, the smile on her face was a little deeper, but she said modestly on her face: "The destruction of the Northern Captives is not the result of him alone." The first work must belong to Yun Qing.
After a few words of greeting, Yuxi asked about Qiqi's marriage: "Now that the war in Beiqiu is over, it is time to set the wedding date with Feng's family." Feng Zhiao also followed this time when he sent troops to Beiqiu. But instead of following Qi Hao, he followed his father Feng Dajun.
Lu Xiu smiled and said, "If the woman is catching up on this matter, it doesn't look pretty." It should be Feng Jia to mention the marriage date.
Yuxi nodded and said, "This is very true. But I think Mrs. Feng should come to talk about it these days." Now that the war in Beijiao is over, Feng Dajun and Feng Zhi'ao are all well, Mrs. Feng Now I am in the mood to talk about marriage with my energy.
Lu Xiu didn't worry about this, mainly because Yuxi was there, and the Feng family didn't dare to do anything to make the Han family faceless, so it was good to have a strong backing. Lu Xiu said: "After the July 7th wedding date is set, I should also set the date of Shun's marriage." Han Jianming and Han Jianye are not separated, so they are in order. Before Qiqi was married, Shun's brother. It is impossible to marry a wife, otherwise, the face is not very good-looking.
Yuxi smiled and said, "Then you are going to be tired again." Marrying and marrying has been busy for half a year.
Lu Xiu said, "As long as they can live peacefully and beautifully in the future, it's worth it to be tired." Qiqi's dowry has already been prepared, which will save her a lot of things.
Yuxi said: "My eldest brother is busy with official duties, so I can't make it back to attend the wedding of Qiqi. As for my mother, the two places are thousands of miles apart, so I don't expect to be back."
Lu Xiu was not surprised: "I said this to Qiqi, and Qiqi is also prepared." As the governor of Jiangnan, it is impossible for the uncle Zi to leave his official duties and return to Gaocheng because of his daughter's marriage.
Hearing this, Yuxi smiled and said: “There is no war in Yunnan now. When Brother Shun gets married, he can let the second brother come back.” Yunnan is now in a stalemate, and it will definitely not happen this year. May use soldiers again.
"If the master can come back, that would be great." This is also a surprise.
Lu Xiu went back after having dinner at the palace.
Yuxi didn't have time to accompany Liu'er and the triplets: "Mother, there are a lot of things to deal with, you go back to your own courtyard!" The post-war affairs are very cumbersome, and you can't finish it in three or five months.
That night, Yuxi was busy until midnight again. While taking a bath, the grandmother asked: "Why are you frowning when the prince fought a big victory? Could it be that the prince is injured again?" Yuxi now pays great attention to maintenance and has to take a medicated bath every two days. Then apply the balm specially formulated for her by the grandmother on her face and body.
Yuxi shook his head and said, "The prince is fine and not injured. It's just that there will be droughts in parts of Shanxi and Henan, and the harvest will definitely be greatly reduced." What I don't like most is that he suffered from drought and floods.
The grandmother was sent to be a palace maid because of a disaster when she was a child. She immediately asked, "Is it serious?"
Yuxi said: "It's more serious. Fortunately, the harvest in the south of the Yangtze River is pretty good." The rice was harvested in June, and now the harvest is almost finished. She has got the news that the harvest in Jiangnan this year is more than 10% less than last year. But compared to Hebei and other places, it is already considered better.
Mother Quan couldn't help but said, "Fortunately, the battle of the Northern Captives has ended."
Yuxi shook his head and said, "If it hadn't been for this time to send troops to the north, the food would not be so nervous." Last year, Jiangnan had a good weather and the harvest was excellent. In other places, the harvest is not bad.
The grandmother heard this and said, "So, are you going to live a life of frugality again?"
"So it's frugal." It's just that she has to worry about money again.
Upon seeing this, Mother Quan said, "When the prince comes back, you throw this affair to him and rest for two days by yourself." Also let Yun Qing know the difficulty of not having money, so that Yun Qing won't always think about fighting.
Yuxi laughed and said: "Let him deal with it, I'm afraid that it will be a mess by then. Forget it, this time we will wipe out the nest of the North Captives. I believe I should be able to get a lot of spoils, and some loopholes can be made up by then."
Madam Quan had no hope for this: "This northern barbarian is so poor, what valuable things can there be?" If they had money, they wouldn't even snatch away the pots and pans of the people in the border town.
This is also because the whole mother doesn't understand the market, and the pots and pans are very expensive in the north.
Yuxi didn't think so, and said, "The princes and nobles in the northern captivity must have hidden a lot of good things." There must be some gold and silver treasures.
Qi Hao had the same idea as Grandma. So when he saw the confiscated spoils, Qi Hao was stunned. Cat eyes the size of a longan, emeralds with the size of a fist, pigeon blood, sapphires, diamonds, pearls of various colors, and countless gold and silver. These things dazzled people's eyes.
Qi Hao's heart was still good, and he calmed down quickly, and then asked Yun Qing: "Father, didn't you say that the Beijiao people were too poor to eat? Why do they have so many treasures?" These things, together. It's worth several million taels.
Yun Qing smiled and patted Qihao's back, and said: "The poor are just ordinary herdsmen, and those princes and nobles are still rich in clothes and clothes. Besides, they do not do anything to burn, kill, and looting. These things are all. It is accumulated over the years."
Qi Hao took out a walnut-sized emerald from one of the boxes, and said, "My mother likes these green stones the most. Use this as a wipe for my mother."
Yun Qing smiled and said, "Pick out all the best gems in it and send them to your mother. Let her decide what jewelry she wants." Gold and silver treasures are to be stored in the warehouse, except for some of these jewels as a reward. The following meritorious officials, others will enter Yuxi's private treasury.
When Qi Hao heard this, he put the emerald in his hand back into the box.
