On New Year's Eve, Baihuang was very happy.
I should say super happy.
The universe is invincible and happy.
It was like the complacent smile on the old hen's face when she chased away the weasel after a hard struggle. At this moment, not only does Bai Huang's smile look similar, but his mouth is also almost long-winded:
"How about it, Lide. Auntie told you, this is called one force and ten meetings! Look at this matter, will it be resolved quickly? If it weren't for me, I would rely on those who are twisting around Ministers, this matter must not be delayed until next year."
I resolutely chose to lick the dog on the surface, and I bragged wildly, "Oh, you are a big brother", "I am too strong, I am dead", "This is too handsome", etc., but I sighed silently in my heart .
Let's not talk about whether this matter will be settled here, Baihuang's doing this is fine, in fact, it is eating the dividends accumulated by Yunhai from generation to generation, and it has nothing to do with herself.
Because the lord of Yunhai has a very wide circle of contacts, he never offends anyone, and can handle everything to the satisfaction of all parties, so he has good friendship with various territories. But in Baihuang's generation, the accumulated dividends are slowly being consumed.
For the territories of all parties, what they care about is "struggling for their own interests" and "weakening the strength of the king's capital". In fact, no one will say anything about the 300,000 disaster victims.
But with Bai Huang doing this, 300,000 people were saved, but the city lords failed to win enough benefits for their territory, and the capital quickly stabilized, and the forces of all parties actually got nothing. If it were a territory other than the sea of clouds, this kind of thing of cutting off people's wealth would have already been used by the enemy, and a group of people would be besieged. But Yunhai has nothing to do with each other, each family is unhappy, and no one will really jump out and say something.
Generally speaking, it was a loss, using the bonus of connections accumulated in his own territory to save 300,000 people who had never met before. These dividends could have been turned into more valuable things, but now they are so inadvertently flowed away.
But this is also the reason why I like to play with Baihuang.
You have to ask her if she knows this, but in fact she knows it more or less in her heart. Many people think that the eldest lady is ignorant of the world, and indeed there are, but she is a boudoir eldest lady, similar to the little princess Lanna. Baihuang has been running wildly outside since she was a child, and she has never seen anything. The Lord of the Sea of Clouds must have taught her a lot of things in the world.
But she did it anyway.
She really regards other people's lives as very important. Although it is not as important as her own, the mood of "wanting to save someone" is not mixed with any impurities.
Tamrose and Graham were imprisoned, indicating that the quota of ten ministers and ten generals is likely to be reshuffled again. Baihuang was happy about this, and in fact, most of the people in the capital were also happy about it.
But if a group of civil servants and military generals come to power, will the lives of the people become better
Not so.
During the past few days in the capital, I also went out for a while. The biggest problem in the territory directly ruled by the royal family is that the group of "royal family" has become more and more bloated. Take Wangdu as an example. It can be called the most magnificent city in the world, and the part of people's life is less than 30%. 70% of the territory is owned by the royal family, because the royal family itself is also exploding in number.
We assume that the original king had two sons, and each of these two sons had two sons, and so on, and the number of royal families in each generation doubled compared with the previous generation. In fact, a king has more than two sons, plus many princesses still live near the capital after they get married, plus the various relatives of the queen, the previous queen is also the various relatives of the queen mother... This number is getting more and more many.
These are all relatives of the emperor and enjoy a very high status.
These people are the most troublesome existence. To be honest, these people are immortal, whether it is Abile and Tamros who are in power, or Umi and Jin Ling who are in power, it will be difficult to revive this bloated group with vitality and vitality. Umi and the others are at most just sewing and mending. It is not a long-term solution to search the wealth of a large number of ministers to make up for the shortfall.
But I didn't tell Bai Huang about this, so she is still very happy and believes that everything will be fine.
"It's New Year's Eve..."
Bai Huang sat on the bed with her legs crossed, grabbing her own ankles, dangling like a tumbler:
"It's a pity that I didn't spend time with my father and my brother this year. My brother has a chef who is very good at cooking. Every year, he is the chef for the New Year's Eve dinner. I am used to it. My brother also knows how to cook. Candy maker, do you know the sugar maker? It’s just laying a board on the bottom, placing a stick, and pouring syrup on the top. When the sugar condenses, it will be peeled off with a light touch. My brother every year They would give me a few weird-shaped ones, saying they were so cute that I couldn’t bear to eat them, but they pierced some little ghosts for me, and if I eat them, I will have good luck for a year next year.”
Saying that, Bai Huang suddenly asked for no reason:
"Can you make a sugar man, Lid?"
I replied:
"A little bit. But I don't have the materials right now, so I can't show you a hand."
Baihuang said:
"Let's talk about it when we get back to Yuxi City. I'm always uneasy if I don't eat the kid made of sugar. I have eaten it every year since I was a child, so I have always been lucky. If I can't eat it this year, what should I do if I have bad luck for a year?" Ah. Hey, but Lide, tell me, will something go wrong during this period when the validity period of last year has expired and this year's has not been renewed?"
I really want to cover her mouth:
"Sister, don't be crowed! I'm really afraid of you."
The last time I said something like "Lord Lingwu is so high above us, we will never have any interaction with her in our lifetime", but when I turned around, I went up to the gun, and I still have lingering fears.
Bai Huang casually threw a pillow at me, and it hit my face with a faint fragrance.
I threw the pillow back to her, Bai Huang raised his head suddenly, frowned, thought for a long time, and said:
"Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is the first time for me to celebrate the New Year outside. I used to be with my family. Our Yunhai family is really harmonious. Every year, a lot of relatives and friends celebrate the New Year together. There are so many cute things My little sister came to play with me. You know, I was like a legend in their eyes, and they called each other 'Sister Baihuang~' and 'Sister Baihuang~' very kindly. I just touched this hug Hold that one, and take them to the night market in the city that never sleeps to pick up lanterns. Others look at the lanterns, but we are different. If you like the one, just take it, take it back to Yunhai Mansion and hang it... Then let my brother go to pay the bill. "
This Baifeng is miserable enough.
Bai Huang laughed, looked at me and said:
"I didn't expect to spend New Year's Eve with you this year... It's always a novelty to spend New Year's Eve with other boys. Tell me, will we have a chance to celebrate New Year together in the future?"
I'm actually not very sure, because Bai Huang is going back to the sea of clouds after all. When the struggle between Bai Feng and Bai Ye comes to fruition, Bai Huang will almost reach the age of marriage, and she will go back to the sea of clouds in all likelihood. And this time, I don't know when I will come back again.
But looking at Bai Huang's big blinking eyes, I still smiled and replied:
"Yes. Don't worry."
