Since Zhou Yan went to the Northland, no one has been in the Protector's Mansion for many years. In the court www.biquge.info the court, some news can turn the situation upside down with the help of tea at night.

The distance between the north and the capital is thousands of miles. Even if you use a quick replacement, it will take nearly ten days to go back. The hot news came out and was sent to Zhou Yan's ears, it was already outdated, and Zhou Yan sent it back, so it was better to inquire in the capital himself.

Zhou Yanzhi, who used to serve in the palace, only accompanied the little emperor to read every day, and Zhao Xian may not be able to know the major events in the court and the central government for the first time, let alone a small attendant.

Old Madam Zhao didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

The Protectorate does not take power, and it does not seek to go further on the road of eunuchs within ten years, and in fact reality does not allow it. Compared with the old fox who has been up and down for decades, Zhou Yan is just a white chick that has just grown wings, and they praise the terrible afterlife, just to keep him in the north.

Defend your frontiers, and stay in the meantime, and don't go back to the Privy Council to fight us for power.

- Even if Chu Zhen and the others don't say it, Mrs. Zhao can guess seventy or eighty percent of their thoughts.

The consequences of staying away from the court are now becoming apparent. The most obvious thing is that Zhou Yanzhi was sent to Guizhou, and the Protectorate Mansion was unable to know the battle report of Jiaozhi at the first time.

Although Zhou Qin was not as keen as Old Madam Zhao, he gradually sensed that something was wrong.

When Zhou Yanchu arrived in Guizhou, he would send a letter back every few days, in addition to letters, he could also take local products over.

In addition to eating and gadgets, Zhou Qin received two sachets that he had sandwiched in an envelope, and the sachets opened with a smell of medicine rushing to his nose. According to Zhou Yanzhi's explanation, this is the local recipe used to get rid of mosquitoes and miasma, which not only has ordinary realgar, but also adds rosin, mugwort, tobacco, sulfur and other substances.

Zhou Yanzhi's tone is often playful, and the Guizhou he describes is full of foreign customs, where the scenery is picturesque, the river is a green Luo belt, the mountains are like jasper, the peaks are different, and the water is meandering.

In the mountains of the garrison, there are mosquitoes bigger than a baby's fist at night, and they bite your flesh and skin, and they will not stop until they suck your blood. Once it is stained, there will be a bowl-sized red bud where it stops, which is itchy and unbearable, even if it scratches and bleeds, it is not useful.

In addition to mosquitoes, there are also strange insects, spiders, centipedes, wild snakes and other things, which are absolutely different from the north.

He also specially praised Zhou Qin's foresight at the beginning, and the many medicinal herbs and pills in the luggage he brought were of great use, Su Zhongchang only brought simple luggage, thinking of going to the local area to buy it again, who knew that Guizhou was tense due to this period of war, not to mention the soaring prices, and he couldn't buy many things with money, so he still rubbed it for his own use.

Xu was afraid that his family would be worried, and Zhou Yanzhi's letters rarely mentioned the advancement of Guiguang's war situation.

But no news is bad news, and if everything goes well, how can he not say anything and reassure his family?

Now that more than a month has passed, Zhou Yanzhi's letter has changed from one letter every three or four days at the beginning to no news for more than half a month.

Although Zhou Qin was raised in the boudoir, he was raised in a family of military generals, and he was naturally very different from ordinary girls, and she combined the words in Zhou Yanzhi's letters with the newspaper that Mrs. Zhao managed to copy back, and gradually outlined Gui Guang's military situation.

To the south, it is estimated that something really big is going to happen.

I just hope that the old general will arrive soon.

The battle of Jiaozhi, not to mention the people, even the court generally did not regard it as a difficult bone to gnaw. The news of his death has not yet spread, and the city of Kyoto is still full of singing and dancing.

The atmosphere in the Xu Mansion on Nanbi Street has been very depressed in recent days, and the people don't know what happened, only that the eldest young master has not appeared at home for a long time, and it is rare to come back today, but he has been locked in the room with his wife for most of the day, and he doesn't know what to say.

Madame Feng felt that she had never been so angry as she was today, and she confirmed to her eldest son again, "You mean, no matter what, you must redeem her?" ”

Xu Jinze clenched his fists for a long time before he raised his head and said, "Mother, since I was a child, I have never asked for anything. ”

Madame Feng couldn't help but laugh.

Xu Jinze looked embarrassed, but had to continue: "Mother, Sheng Niang, she has never done anything wrong, she is white and flawless, and she is a rare good girl. ”

Mrs. Feng looked sarcastic, "It's the first time I've heard that the women in the song house are flawless, and it's the first time I've heard that there are good girls who instigated the children of other people's families to abandon their families. ”

Xu Jinze almost immediately retorted: "Sheng Niang has never instigated me!" She kept telling me not to do anything for her that would make my family sad, and I was impulsive to leave home that day, and she had already told me ......"

He said earnestly: "I was worried that my family would not agree, and I thought that I would end up next year, and first take a fame, but Sheng Niang's persuasion was useless, so I took out the body she had saved over the years, and asked me to store it, saying that if I really took the ranking, I could use it to dredge it...... I've known her for so long, and she hasn't asked me to spend a penny, nor has she coaxed me into doing anything for her, it's all my own ......."

Mrs. Feng felt that she was so blocked by a breath that she couldn't even speak.

How could there be such a stupid son!

It is said that reading is reasonable, has his books been read in the dog's stomach?!

She took two deep breaths and said, "Do you know that for the sake of your fate, your grandfather, who is nearly seventy years old, still missed the night to sort out the preferences and style of the scribes of the current dynasty?" ”

Xu Jinze looked at her blankly.

"The professor in ethnology took your article and scrutinized it word by word, helped you change it from beginning to end, and found dozens of notes for you in a mistake, do you know what it is for?"

"Your surname is Xu, not Feng!" Mrs. Feng said sharply, "The little money you pay in a year can't even afford a gentleman's food, why should they help you?" ”

"From childhood to adulthood, the paper you used was Cao Da Sanshengxuan, the ink you used was pine smoke ink, the pens you used, the clothes you wore, and the meals you ate, which one of them did you earn with your efforts? She took out a few hairpins for you and said that it was herself, and you couldn't pity it, the family ** has raised you for all these years, even if you raise a dog, you will wag its tail around, what about you?! ”

Xu Jinze's face turned red.

"It's not impossible to redeem her...... "Mrs. Feng suddenly reversed her tone.

"It's just that she redeemed herself, but she can't take it home, so I bought her an industry in the south and let her go away."

Xu Jinze couldn't help but scream, "Mother, she's a weak woman!" ”

Mrs. Feng said lightly: "I have already agreed with the Protector Mansion, if you end up in two years, if you are passable, the two families will try to combine the eight characters." If you really redeemed that Sheng lady, and dare to take it home blatantly, do you think this family business can still be done? ”
