Chapter 142: The Nail in the Eye Becomes a Guest

Soon it was Layue, and there was a heavy snow in Jinling City that had not been encountered for ten years, and Qing'er didn't have to think about it to know that Mobei must have been icy and snowy, and due to the blockage of the road, the news of the Mobei army was often interrupted.

King Hengjun went out on behalf of his father, so the Falcon Bureau was taken over by King Beijing.

The emperor's arrangement is also meaningful, he is worried that Jin Yao is too young, vicious and hateful, and cannot tolerate the absurdity and darkness of the government and the opposition. In fact, under the court, there are many things that are not visible, and after careful investigation, how many officials in the court and China are clean, and what the emperor wants is to kill the chickens and monkeys, not to kill the monkeys in the whole mountain, and when necessary, he has to turn big things into small things, because he just wants to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, so that those unruly officials can be restrained, not force them to embark on the road of confrontation.

Moreover, now that several princes are eyeing the crown prince, His Majesty's wishful thinking is that if necessary, he can use the handle of those officials to firmly control them for his own use.

King Beijing's water is humble and elegant, indifferent to fame and fortune, but he is very thoughtful, and he is the best at using Tai Chi Yun hand, overcoming rigidity with softness, advancing and retreating decently, and reassuring His Majesty the Emperor more than Jinyao of the newborn calf.

Of course, if it comes to the king of the world, Sun Er Jinyao is still more courageous than King Beijing, and in less than a year, he has investigated the integrity and diligence of officials above the fifth grade, which is definitely something that his son can't do.

Due to the tense war in Mobei, the marriage between the Celestial Empire and the Goryeo Kingdom was also temporarily put on hold, and the originally scheduled ceremony was postponed indefinitely.

The war report is also very worrying. The tribes of Mobei are nomadic for a living, men and women are raised on horseback, as long as they pick up the scimitar, it can be said that all the people are soldiers, and the battle is very fierce, if you talk about the ability to fight alone, the Celestial Empire army is not the opponent of the Mobei army, plus they are local operations, familiar with the terrain, and adopt scattered and encircled mobile response tactics, they are all a pair of ten people, and when they hear the order, they scatter and flee when they can't win, and Jin Yao is difficult to deal with for a while.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and the news of a truce finally came from Mobei. It is said that thanks to the rare cold weather, the cattle and sheep of the various tribes in Mobei froze to death, and the herdsmen were busy dealing with natural disasters and were unwilling to continue to work for the Khan King, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.

In order to appease the herdsmen who had suffered from natural and man-made disasters, Jin Yao released all the captured herdsmen, and left all the medicine and food for the Khan to distribute to the poor herdsmen to relieve their urgent needs.

King Hengjun showed the generosity and benevolence of the Celestial Empire to the extreme, not only returned the captured slaves, cattle and sheep, and left his own military rations and medicines, but also generously retreated to Mohe County, waiting for King Norgan Khan to negotiate with various tribes before accepting the canonization of the Celestial Empire.

Of course, Qing'er didn't know the specific situation until two years later. Jin Yao led his troops to the expedition the next day after they broke up that day, because the drunken loaches also went on the expedition, Qing'er knew that Qingwen was also as worried about the war in Mobei as herself, and it was out of sympathy that she ran to Qingwen's house almost nothing, and told her about the geography and climate of Mobei, the living customs of the nomadic tribes, and the ferocity and fierceness of those cavalry.

In less than a year, she learned from the history and geography textbook and told her that Qingwen could remember almost eighty or ninety percent.

Qingwen didn't know that Jin Yao was Qing'er's Jingcheng brother, and she was very grateful to Qing'er for accompanying her every day when she was most lonely and helpless.

At night, she also stayed at Qingwen's house, in the middle of the night, she would wake up crying from her dream, or, when she was sleepwalking, she would run to the kitchen to look for a kitchen knife, and run out of the door with it, shouting: "Sister Qingwen, the horse of the Tartar is catching up, let's quickly cut off the horse's hooves and cover the breakthrough of King Hengjun and his brother-in-law......"

There is no impermeable wall in the world, the news that Qingwen is still alive gradually spread in the house, Qing'er often rushes home when it is almost dark, and returns to Jiafu early the next day, which has aroused the suspicion of Mrs. Wang for a long time, Liujiatun is not too close to Ningrong Street, even if it is a carriage, it takes two or three hours to call back and forth.

Mrs. Wang soon found out that Qingwen was not only alive, but also married the drunken loach who once came to the door, and Qing'er not only had a close relationship with Qingwen, it is said that she was the one who saved Qingwen at that time.

To Madame Wang's uneasiness, Baoyu told her that Drunken Loach was now a henchman of King Hengjun, and that he was one of his attendants the last time he came to the mansion.

On the 24th day of the lunar month, Jia Mansion celebrates the New Year, eats the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the slaves who are not born in the family will be sent home to reunite with their families.

Because the old lady likes snow, and Daoxiang Village is the first place to watch the snow scene, so the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was held in Luxuean, and Li Xian was busy with Tanchun and Baochai.

Wang Xifeng's illness has basically recovered, but Mrs. Wang used the excuse of caring about her, saying that her body was important, and she would not bother her with housework.

Before this, Jia Zheng had already called Jia Lian to reprimand him, asking him to immediately take back the Yinzi money, and he had to find out whether the slaves in the family had done something hurtful behind the master's back, but anyone who left right and wrong must be cleaned up as soon as possible.

Wang Xifeng's release of Yinzi money was originally hidden from Jia Lian, and it was all operated quietly by Laiwang and his daughter-in-law, and only then did it become clear that Sister Feng was actually doing something against the ban of the imperial court behind his back.

went home and counted Sister Feng down, like a bully on weekdays, where do you dare to refute now, and then I heard Jia Lian say that the second master asked him to clean up his hands and feet, knowing that the situation must be very serious, this hurry, the root of the blood collapse has been committed again, and he has begun to see red again.

Wang Xifeng saw that it was just the matter of Yinzi money, so he scared Jia Lian half to death, and naturally did not dare to tell him about the bad people's marriage and the death of people, and privately ordered to come to Wang's house, saying that Zhang Jinge's family was so dead that only Old Man Zhang was left, and he must be found to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, even if the incident happens in the future, there is no proof of death.

called Xing'er again and asked him to seal Zhang Hua's mouth, worried that he had killed Second Sister You and was told about it.

Third Sister You is already very difficult, Liu Xianglian is the head of the guard of the Beijing Palace, and the king of Hengjun is like a brother, if he holds on, this alone is enough for her to eat and walk around.

As the saying goes, long and short work, twenty-four full work, after the Chinese New Year's Eve, people will no longer work, every household is busy running the New Year, Jinling City folk have always had a rule, before the 26th of the month must complete the New Year, and then, on the 27th, began to fry melon seeds and peanuts, on the 28th began to fry twist dumplings, on the 29th steamed buns, sweet bean paste, big meat, sauerkraut tofu bean sprouts, and the skillful daughters-in-law will also make some flower buns, such as butterflies, turtle doves, shou peaches, etc., dotted with carmine, looking festive.

However, it was said that on Chinese New Year's Eve, Rongguo Mansion was feasting in Daoxiang Village, and Li Jiazhen of Dongfu personally brought people to send New Year goods, ten hemp bags of rice, fifty chickens and twenty ducks, ten pigs, ten sheep, two beef cattle, twenty deer, civet cats and other wild things, and five pairs of bear paws, twenty brocade chickens, in addition, there were two pairs of hares, two pairs of parrots, and a pair of deer just three months old.

Jia Zhen specially explained to the old lady, saying that there was heavy snow on the road, and the old housekeeper Wu Zhixiao on the Zhuangzi fell ill again, and only today asked his son to send the New Year's goods, he has already let people take care of the goods, and it is rumored that there are no children in the Jia family, and they are divided into years, and there are chickens, ducks, fish, meat, and rice, so that the old lady can relax.

Then he said that there was a locust plague in Zhuangzi this year, and some places were hit by hail, and the harvest was not good, so the items of filial piety were nearly half less than in previous years, and he also inquired, saying that his own Zhuangzi was quite good, and other houses said that all Zhuangzi were fighting famine, and the things of filial piety to the master were less than one-third of those in previous years.

The old lady said that it was hard, Jia Yu and Jia Zheng both appeased a few words, rewarded a few glasses of wine and drank, in front of the old lady and the two uncles and aunts, Jia Zhen felt that she was extremely tightly restrained, where could she be happy at home, under the pretext that the things had not been distributed yet, so she would not accompany the old lady and uncles and aunts, and wait for the first day of the new year to come to the ancestors and uncles and aunts to pay New Year's greetings.

The old lady didn't force him to stay, so she prepared a lot of rare New Year's goods prepared in the house here, and put them in their car by the way, let Jia Zhen take them back, and asked her family to say hello.

After the banquet, they dispersed, and the next morning, Qing'er went to bid farewell to Mrs. Wang and prepared to go home for the New Year.

Mrs. Wang called Yu Chu'er and said, "Bring the things you have prepared." ”

"Yes, ma'am. Yu Chu'er hurriedly brought a Doro's burden and handed it to Qing'er to accept.

Qing'er weighed it, heavy, it is estimated that it is either gold or silver, I don't know why Mrs. Wang gave her such a big gift, and when she was about to kneel down to thank her, she heard Mrs. Wang say: " Qing'er, Mrs. Gu is very pleased, with you, a niece and granddaughter, is more filial than my own children, but everything I can't think of, I think of it, such as the matter of Miss Qingwen, Mrs. Gu was angry and kicked her out, and later regretted it, fortunately, you thought about it for me, appease Miss Qingwen, everyone is safe, Mrs. Gu will naturally remember your benefits, and I will have to plan for you in the future. ”

"Mrs. Gu is as kind to Qing'er as a mountain, and she can serve Mrs. Gu before and after the saddle, Qing'er is as willing as a child, but Mrs. Gu has instructions, and Qing'er will not hesitate to go to the soup and go to the fire. Because she didn't know Mrs. Wang's true intentions, Qing'er had no choice but to ambiguously express her allegiance.

"This is what Mrs. Gu rewarded you, and it can be regarded as the New Year's money given to you in advance. Mrs. Wang nodded her chin, and Yu Chu'er hurriedly stuffed a gold ingot of ten taels into Qing'er's hand.

"My aunt has given enough on weekdays......

"Okay, don't be polite to Mrs. Gu. Mrs. Wang interrupted Qing'er's words, pointed to the burden and said: "Your sister Qingwen followed the old lady and Baoyu, and she is also a girl who married out of my Jiafu, and she didn't tell us when she got married, now that I know, the dowry is indispensable, the two hundred taels of silver, the whole set of jewelry, and two sets of clothes, it is considered a dowry of the mother's family, you bring a message to Qingwen, on the second day of the new year, I will send someone to pick her up and go back to the house for the New Year, and when the time comes, the attacker and Caixia will come to accompany her."
