In the winter of the fourteenth year of the Great Cause, the long-term campaign that lasted five years finally ended with the loss of twelve cities in a row by the Northern Yan, and the sixth prince Helian Jinyu entered the Great Qi Dynasty as a hostage. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The people of Northern Yan are fierce, good at riding and shooting, since the founding of the Great Qi Dynasty, after six dynasties and finally under the rule of Emperor Xun, they entered the Yan State to surround Ducheng, but the five-year campaign also dragged down the population and economy of the Great Qi Dynasty, coupled with the severe cold in the north, and it was winter when the soldiers were not tolerant of the cold, and finally could not further take the capital.

In the end, he only forced the Northern Yan to defeat and cut off the nine cities south of Shangyi, recognize the subject country, and call the ministers every year to pay tribute. But compared with the previous Beiyan's annual invasion, this is already a big victory worthy of celebration by the whole country.

In the imperial capital of the Great Qi Dynasty, the commander of the battle of the class returning to the dynasty, Xiang Xuxiong, the prince of Zhenguo, and Xiang Zhe, the young marshal, were receiving cheers and congratulations from the people, and the colorful flags in the city were displayed high, and the brocade ribbons were flying.

"Look, that's the prince"

I saw a young man sitting on a tall horse with a silver armor and a red gun, with a tall posture, handsome and handsome, and his eyes did not squint, which caused the little ladies on both sides of the street to scream again and again.

Emperor Xun, who is over 30 years old, stands in the center of the city wall, his posture is tall and long, under the sword eyebrows like ink paintings, a pair of phoenix eyes are not angry and self-imposing, and he personally led hundreds of officials out of the city to greet him, which shows the status of the prince of Zhenguo in his heart.

Speaking of Zhenguo Gong is a figure that the Great Qi Dynasty has to say, the ancestors with Emperor Taizu to fight the world, was named the hereditary replacement of the Guogong, the power in the army is intricate, to this generation of Zhenguo Gong, Pingnanban, fight Beiyan, that is the hero of the Great Qi since the founding of the country, and the family style is rigorous, upright, and the wife Tangning County Lord and his wife are deeply affectionate, only one son and early please seal the son, and did not take a concubine to marry a child, which makes how many magnates who want to get in touch with the Zhenguo Duke through marriage stop, this is not, The prince of Zhenguo has just turned seventeen years old, and everyone who says that he is close to breaking the threshold of the Guogong Mansion.

In the atmosphere of national celebration, the Nie Mansion was depressed, just because the third master of the Nie Mansion went to the Mansion to rush to the battlefield of Nie Xiu, the commander of the Governor, and died on the battlefield, if there is a war, there will be casualties, although the pedestrians in the Nie Mansion are in a hurry, there is no sadness on their faces.

The door creaked, there was a hurried footstep sound from Qiuling Courtyard, Qianxuan carried the food box, and shouted to the door The four ladies were mournful at this time, and someone responded for a long time, bypassing the screen and looking at the four ladies sitting next to the bed, the face was beautiful, the beauty was clear, the posture was exquisite, and the eyes that should have been bright and bright under a pair of crescent moon eyebrows were sad at this time, and the posture was as delicate as the weeping willows in the spring.

Qian Xuan's tears swirled in her eyes in an instant, the mother's life was too bitter, she used to be the eldest daughter of a widow, but now she is an orphan girl when the master is gone. At this time, there were only two of their master and servant left in the entire courtyard, and after learning the news that Nie Xiuyuan died on the battlefield, she had been like this without eating, drinking, speaking or smiling until now, the battle on the front line was fierce, there were heavy casualties, and the corpse was not found at all, and the Nie family had to hurriedly replace it with clothes, and the other subordinates went to make some connections, so as to get out of their place where there was no future and bad luck.

Qian Xuan sighed softly, the mist in her eyes became heavier, "Fourth lady, let's eat"

"There's still food, too, before I squeeze out the last trace of value, the eldest lady is still reluctant to let me die," Nie Qishu said slowly

Qian Xuan turned around and wiped away her tears, her hands did not stop, and she laid out the food in the food box.

"Lady, Gongzi An is here again, saying that he is sorry for you, he originally told his mother to ask for three rooms and four young ladies, but..."

"But his mother made her own decision to ask for Liuniang, and she was afraid that I would pester his son, so she made a matchmaker for me and promised a 'good family affair', right?" Nie Qishu said sadly.

"Don't say that, lady, there will be a way, let's go to the old lady, how can you say that you are also her granddaughter, we are not a poor family, how can we not keep the filial piety period, and get married within 100 days, not to mention that it is still such a family"

"It's not a granddaughter, a concubine is a concubine, and her face is kind, otherwise her father wouldn't have just died and accepted all the property of our three rooms, even my mother's dowry."

The Nie family wants to start with the old lady, when the upright young old lady Nie Zhen was just a poor talent in Qingxi County, Baoding Prefecture, but the appearance was dignified, after the opening of the list of Jinshi, he was caught by the royal history of the capital in the list of Lord Cheng Wang, Lord Wang was very satisfied with this son-in-law, from a foundationless Guozi supervisor Bo all the way to the third grade of the book order, after giving birth to the eldest son Nie Xiuyuan, the second son Nie Xiumai, after the age of thirty, only to accept a concubine room and give birth to a concubine, that is, the third master Nie Xiuxun, but because of the injury during childbirth, he went within a few years, Now the head of the Nie Mansion is Nie Xiuyuan, the eldest master of the Changfang, who is the doctor of Xuanzhou Thorn Shi Yin Qingguanglu. And the old lady has always done a lot of face engineering, and she has earned a good reputation in front of people, but she actually treats them very harshly.

"There are still a hundred taels of silver in the first drawer of the dresser, you can take it and go."

"Huh"? Qian Xuan looked up in astonishment

"Lady, don't drive the slave and maid away, if it weren't for the lady who bought the slave and maid from the slave and maid's ruthless father, the slave and maid would have been sold to the kiln, how can I still live until now, the slave and maid followed the maid at the age of ten, where do you let the slave and maid go, the lady should not drive the maid away"

"yes, where can you go? There's nowhere to go, and you have a mom and dad but there's nowhere to go. ”

"It's not good for ladies to be slaves, slaves and maids can't help at all"

"Don't say that, you've helped me a lot, if it weren't for your double-sided embroidery skills to subsidize over the years, our life would have been even more difficult."

"I'm going to be unable to protect myself soon, let's leave, one hundred taels is enough to start a small business after redemption"

"Lady, is the slave and maid such a heartless person, the lady and the first lady are the most charitable and gentle to the slave and maid, and the slave and maid have long regarded the lady as a relative in their hearts, this kind of slave and maid must not be said again" Qian Xuan said with red eyes.

"Why do you bother, just let me arrange it," Nie Qishu muttered.

"Lady, eat something, it's been three days since the valley was opened, otherwise the wake will faint again in a while"
