How did Xiao Xia mother-in-law not know that the sixth brother was comforting her, so she had to endure sadness and nodded: "The sword has no eyes, you still have to be more careful." He also asked what Lan Guogong thought about cutting the domain.

The sixth brother thought for a while and said, "First, Guogong is deeply thoughtful, and secondly, I don't usually see him. However, the prince and Lan Haoxin didn't think so, thinking that the emperor was too worried. ”

Xiao Xia's mother-in-law told him not to trust others, especially Shizi and Lan Haoxin. Observe and think about everything, and don't make decisions. The sixth brother nodded and responded one by one, the mother and son finished speaking, and the sixth brother went to the main house to see the old Xia mother-in-law, and then went back to the house in Zhaowang Village and led Lan Shizi over to meet Xia Xiucai and Xiao Xia.

He was afraid that the prince would be bored with them, so he took them to Xishan to hunt, Lan Shizi was also a transparent person, and he knew that he still had to get together with his family, so he didn't want him to accompany him. The sixth brother found Xiaoyu to play in the Zhuangzi, and originally called the seventh brother and the eighth brother, but Xiaoyu was domineering, so they were all busy cleaning up the furniture and furnishings for the sixth brother. Xiao Xia Pozi was afraid that the brother and sister would have a dislike because of the past, so she didn't restrain them.

The brother and sister went to a small pond in Zhuangzi to fish and dig clams, and Xiaoyu sneakily showed the sixth brother his two strong crossbows. The fourth brother secretly imitated the crossbow in the barracks for her, one was only ten inches, which was already very small, and the other was even more delicate and chic, but the sixth brother was the size of his palm, just enough to buckle it on his hand, and he could shoot it out as soon as he raised his hand.

Xiaoyu because of his arm strength, he grinded the fourth brother for a long time to get the big one, Xu is proficient, so he simply improved it again, and made a small one for her to play with rabbits. Xiaoyu kept a heart and never showed off in front of people. This is the first time I took it out, and I only demonstrated it to the sixth brother, and it is naturally not good if it is too far away, but it is more than enough to use it as a hidden weapon in close quarters.

After fiddling like this for a long time, Ai Ai reluctantly put the small mechanism in the hands of the sixth brother: "This is for you, you will miss me in the future, take it out and take a look when no one is around." ”

The sixth brother was greatly moved: "I used the hairpin you gave last time." Fighting hand-to-hand with the Di people, he sneaked up on it. Saying that, I didn't feel very bright, and I couldn't help but feel a little impressive.

But Xiaoyu said slyly: "Soldiers are not tired of cheating. Unexpectedly, Sixth Brother, you can now use the military book freely. "I also told my brother a lot of stories in the barracks.

After playing like this until dark, the brother and sister returned with fun.

The next day, the sixth brother wore red and hung colors, rode a tall horse, and brought a big red flower on the horse's head. Only then did he take the welcoming team composed of the prince's relatives and guards and walked towards the Wang family in Zhaowang Village.

It didn't go far into the village, and this team, which claims to be the strongest in history, staggered as if drunk. There are the little babies of the Wang family on the side of the road, singing nursery rhymes and laughing: "The groom rides a horse like a boat!"

It turned out that the little sisters of the Wang family sprinkled soybeans on the road to the Wang family early in the morning, and if these people were not all masters of the imperial horse, they would have been thrown off the horse long ago. Rao is like this, these few steps have also been upside down, where is there still a little bit of the majesty of the Northwest Tiger Camp. When they arrived at Wang's house, the little sisters of the three girls lined up on the wall and laughed loudly when they looked at their wolf bèi unbearable appearance.

The sixth brother couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, it was a shame that he didn't let the prince follow, otherwise everyone's face would be lost. When it comes time to enter the courtyard, it is necessary to connect a few simple poems and a few pairs of pairs that are suitable for the occasion, but fortunately, these are difficult for the sixth brother.

After making a fuss like this for a long time, I finally took the bride to the sedan chair. The people who carried the sedan chair in the welcoming team couldn't help but wink at each other, wanting to get back the "grievances" just now. However, the sixth brother caught a glimpse, and saw that they were carrying a sedan chair and deliberately tossing the bride east and west, and hurriedly gave Ruhai a look.

Ruhai hurried over and added two red envelopes to each person who carried the sedan chair, and then carried the person home. Starling stood at the entrance of Zhuangzi and looked around from time to time, and when he saw the figure from a distance, he ran back and shouted loudly: "Coming, coming." Hurry up and firecrackers. ”

So, those who lit firecrackers, greeted children, and prepared braziers, everyone was busy making a mess. In this busy and lively situation, the sixth sister-in-law married into the Xia family.

On that day, no one thought that from then on, not only Zhao Wangcun and this Zhuangzi, but also Fengxiang Mansion and the entire world would have to experience a long and dark wait. And such a celebration can only be a dream in those years.

Three days later, Brother Xia Liu accompanied Wang Sanniang back to Menzi, and sent Lan Shizi and his guards to the northwest. The Xia family has started the days when Du Men does not come out again. The sixth brother has nothing to do, or practices martial arts in the courtyard, or sits in the shade of a tree to carve wood. The sixth sister-in-law set up a small stove on the side, kneaded some noodles, and pasted a few cakes for the sixth brother to eat. For a while, the husband and wife were newly married and Yan Er envied others. When the sixth brother was about to leave, the wood in his hand became a wooden hairpin, polished and smooth, and two fish were carved on the hairpin.

Xiaoyu saw that it was rare, and the sixth sister-in-law was not angry, and generously put on Xiaoyu's hairpin. The sixth brother shook his head and smiled bitterly, and secretly gave his daughter-in-law another one at night: "That one was originally a practice, you don't have to get used to her in the future, she will get the most inches." ”

The sixth sister-in-law smiled, she didn't take it seriously, who in Zhaowang Village didn't know that the Xia family spoiled all the nine girls to the sky. This ninth girl has been taken care of by the sixth brother since she was a child, and she is more affectionate than other brothers and sisters.

When the sixth brother left, the situation became more and more sinister. Xiaoyu means, if the emperor still acts like this. If the emperor intends to confront the Lan family against King Yi in the future, the sixth brother must find a way to get out. If the Lan family wants to rebel against King Yi, the sixth brother can follow the Lan family to start an incident.

Not long after the sixth brother left, the little-known King Xiang was also put under house arrest, and after more than a month, the seventh prince Ning Wang, who had little power, was also demoted to a commoner and sent to Guangxi.

When the autumn harvest was approaching, it suddenly began to rain in Fengxiang Mansion, and at first it was just a pouring rain, with lightning and thunder. The people of the Xia family were already nested at home, so they didn't have to go out, so they all closed the door and hid in their own rooms waiting for the rain to stop. In the evening, a strong wind blew again, and whimpered and pierced through the cracks in the windows with sharp whistles, which frightened the faint of heart.

It rained like this for two days, and the rain slowed down.

It rained like this for three or five days, and Brother Xia took Ruhai to a few places to see it. When I came back, I had a bitter face and sighed again and again. Many of the Xia family's lands are on higher ground, which is cheaper, but the strong wind a few days ago blew down a lot of wheat that was about to be harvested. When a lot of wheat is soaked in the ground, it will not be in shape.

Mrs. Xia and Mrs. Xiao Xia also sighed, but at this time, there was no good way to do it, so they could only grab a little bit of it.

So, Brother Xia, Brother Xia Qi, and Brother Xia took the hired farmers to harvest the wheat that had fallen in Zhaowang Village first. Like the sea, like the mountains, like the horses, they took the farmers to clean up the land in the village. After three days of rain and dryness, the weather finally cleared. Everyone didn't care about anything else, so they hurriedly cleaned up the grain field and began to dry the grain.

After the Xia family cleaned up their own land, they helped the people in the village with few people to collect it according to the instructions of Xiao Xia's mother-in-law. Even so, there are still a few families whose terrain is too low-lying, and the grain they have collected is not enough for their own rations.

So, Mrs. Xiao Xia divided her own income this year and lent them it. signed the deed, and when the harvest was good next year, it would be returned to the Xia family, and the tenants in the Zhuangzi also reduced their rent by half. Fortunately, because of the bad harvest this year, the grain can be sold at a good price. After paying taxes like this, I finally didn't lose too much this year.

Xiao Xia Pozi was originally afraid that the situation would be unstable, so she stored a lot of food, but now she was afraid that the disaster would not go alone, so she simply dug a few more cellars and doubled the amount of food. Several daughters-in-law have their mothers' families, and if they really have something to do, they have to make up for their mothers' families. Several liquor shops of the third brother were also unable to open due to food shortages. As a result, all the shops in the county and the prefecture were closed. In this way, in the second half of the year, the Xia family is rarely tight.

Xiao Xia Pozi was frightened by the bandits in the disaster year, and as soon as she settled down the hired farmers and farmers, she asked Ruhai to lead the young people in the village to strengthen the wall and patrol day and night.

He also sent Brother Xia to discuss with Li Zheng in Zhaowang Village, and asked them to organize some young people to come out to maintain law and order. It's just that the people in the village are not as good as the households in their own villages, and most of them have not yet recovered from the blow of the autumn harvest. The village was so big and scattered that not many people responded.

Xiao Xia's mother-in-law became more and more worried that Brother Xia and Sister-in-law Xia lived in Zhaowang Village, so she asked the eldest brother to pretend to transport all the grain to the city to sell it at a high price, and hide the grain in the house in Zhaowang Village properly. instructed Brother Xia and his wife to move to Zhuangzi as well.

More than half a month has passed, and the fifth brother has sent the latest Di newspaper, which is that there are all kinds of disasters in different ways all over the country. In some places, there are droughts, in others there are waterlogs, and in other places rivers burst their banks and wash away farmland. Fengxiang Mansion is like this, it is actually quite good, so there is no reduction or exemption in Fengxiang Mansion's taxes this year. For a time, the people complained and wailed all over the field.

The people already had a lot of dissatisfaction with Fu Yin, and now it is even worse. There are also troubled people who think that Sun Lu put King Xing under house arrest. blamed Sun Lu for this incident, saying that he had captured the dragon son and dragon grandson, and angered the dragon king in the sky. It had only rained for three days and three nights for the Dragon King. It didn't take long for this to spread the word that there were noses and eyes.

At this time, King Yi, who was far away in the northeast, handed the emperor an excerpt again, asking for an edict to pray for good weather and good weather.

Xiao Xia looked at the newspaper and didn't know what kind of mood the emperor was in. Not long after the edict was issued, the emperor appointed Fang Yuqing as the political envoy of Beiping and Zhang Bingran as the commander of the capital, and the two were jointly responsible for the defense deployment of Beiping and the garrison.

However, more than a month, Fang Yuqing and Zhang Bingran were captured by King Yi in King Yi's mansion, and then King Yi waved the banner of "Qing Jun's side", raised troops for the country, and soon occupied Beiping City.
