Chapter Twenty-Three: The Prince Is the Crown
For the grain and grass at each border, the imperial court will regularly distribute it, but in the process of transporting grain and grass, it is inevitable that people will do some unsightly tricks and feet, which often leads to the grain and grass arriving at the border, there is no more than one component left.
The food and grass of the southern border guards were in short supply in this way, so Shen Yuzhi, as a general, came to the nearest Changzhou to ask for help.
Bai Qiaoshui quickly looked at the harvest in Changzhou in recent years, and he was really just able to barely solve his own food and clothing problem, and it seemed that he couldn't let Changzhou produce this grain and grass.
But there are still two days left, and the army here will run out of food, and now it will take at least two days and two nights to write a letter back to Yunliang.
Wait until the emperor makes a decision, and then wait until the grain and grass are delivered, even if the quantity does not decrease by then, it is estimated that it will be useless, it is estimated that by that time, most of the soldiers have starved to death, how should this be good.
Just when Bai Xiaoshui was helpless, Mingshuang came in with a pot of tea, and suddenly, an idea flashed in Bai Xiaoshui's mind.
After picking up the pen, he asked Mingshuang to go to Heiyun Village with the handwritten letter.
Then he wrote a letter back to Yunliang and handed it over directly to the Zhenguo General's Mansion, hoping to let the emperor know about the difficulties here through the old man of her family.
Then choose an upright official to come with grain and return the grain and grass borrowed from Heiyun Village, so that everyone will be happy.
This problem has been solved, and Dana has another problem in front of her - Xiao Yu began to have trouble with her.
Start date: Unknown.
Reason: Unknown.
Deadline: Completely unknown.
Xiao Yu and Bai Qiaoshui sat in the study, the door was open, and the two of them occupied one end of the study, one reading a book, and the other knocking melon seeds, this situation has been persisting for almost a whole day.
Little Pear looked strange, so she pulled Bai Xiaoshui into the corner to find out what was going on.
"Miss, what's wrong with the prince?"
Bai Xiaoshui knocked the melon seeds in his hand and glanced at Xiao Yu, who was immersed in reading: "It's nothing, but when I went to Li's Mansion before, he abandoned your young lady and me, but your young lady found someone else to play again, I don't know if it's because of this." ”
Xiao Lizi glanced at Xiao Yu and pouted: "The prince doesn't look like that kind of person." ”
The little girl began to turn her elbows outward, Bai Qiaoshui put down the melon seeds, put one hand on the shoulder of the little pear, and said bitterly: "Little pear, believe in Miss I, Xiao Yu is that kind of person." ”
He clapped his hands and walked out of the post house.
Xiao Yu raised his head, looked in the direction where Bai Qiaoshui left, and beckoned Xiao Heng: "Keep up." ”
Xiao Heng received the order, and disappeared with a "whoosh".
Lu Yun just took a plate of oranges, stood outside the door of the study and saw this scene, and patted the shoulder of the person next to him: "Sister Pear, if I can have Xiao Heng's handsome light skills, it would be great." ”
Xiao Lizi took Lu Yun's hand away, looked at him from top to bottom, shook his head and said, "Impossible." ”
"Why?"
"It mainly depends on temperament, you don't have that temperament. That's what your master said. Before Lu Yun Kid went crazy, Little Pear quickly withdrew.
Since the prince sent Xiao Heng to protect the unconscious young lady of her family, then she doesn't have to worry about the safety of the young lady, in fact, the prince is quite concerned about her young lady, although neither of them has paid attention to each other recently.
Lu Yun yelled at Xiao Lizi: "The young master is so personable, handsome and chic, is there any broken temperament missing!" He walked into the study and put the plate of oranges on the desk in front of Xiao Yu with a "bang".
"Master, you shouldn't be jealous, right?"
Xiao Yu raised his head, glanced at Lu Yun, who had put his head in front of him, and stretched out his hand to knock on his head: "Lu Yun boy, the matter of adults, what are you kid fooling around, quickly memorize the "Book of Rites". After speaking, he lowered his head and continued to study the contents of the book.
Lu Yun rubbed his head, did not change his stubbornness, pulled the book in Xiao Yu's hand, and sat on the desk: "Master, I know a big secret, my father told me, are you interested?" A pair of eyebrows furrowed.
Since he became Bai Xiaoshui's apprentice, this kid has listened to them much more easily.
It's just that Lu Yun, this kid, would never come here just to tell him this so-called secret, there is a way, the weasel gives the chicken a New Year's greeting.
Xiao Yu leaned back in the chair: "Say, what are the conditions." ”
"Master, look at what you said, what conditions can I have, actually, what, isn't the master bad at martial arts, I don't want to learn martial arts and panic, eh, Xiao Heng ...... just now"
"No problem, Ming'er, this king will let Xiao Heng teach you, say, what secret?" Xiao Yu looked at him with a funny face, it turned out that he just wanted to learn martial arts, and he was quite a motivated person.
At first, he watched his little cousin take Lu Yun, a kid, with him, thinking that she wanted to teach him how to flirt with beauties.
But now it seems that Bai Wanshui actually teaches Lu Yun the Four Books and Five Classics, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting every day, but he was wrong.
Khan, if Xiao Yu knew that Bai Qiaoshui taught Lu Yun these things, so that Lu Yun could have more skills to soak in beauties, I don't know how he would feel.
Lu Yun saw that Xiao Yu agreed so easily, so there was nothing to hide, and after seeing that there was no one outside the study, he said: "Master, you have to be careful, I guess there is a person named Xiao Yan who is your rival." Master often said to me, "Master, you are beautiful, but you are not as beautiful as Xiao Yan." ”
"I still don't want to see her."
"Did she really say that?" Xiao Yu grabbed the brush used for sketching annotations and squeezed it tightly with both hands.
Not as good as Xiao Yan? Don't want to see her yet? yes, that's good.
Lu Yun glanced at the brush, swallowed his saliva, and nodded with some hesitation.
Then there was a "snap" sound coming from the barrel of the pen, and you don't need to look at it to know that the pen must be wasted.
Inevitably being affected by the pond fish, Lu Yun hurriedly ran out, he didn't want to be the same as the brush.
After the little guard who came to report saw Xiao Yu with a gloomy face, he finally walked in with a tangled face: "Lord Qincha, Lord Changzhou Mu asks to see you." ”
"Changzhou pastor?" When the little guard heard Xiao Yu's gloomy tone, the whole person was not good, two legs as thin as a bamboo pole had already begun to fight, and when he was about to lose his footing, the high prince in front of him finally spoke.
"Let him in."
Then, seeing that the little guard was running towards the gate of the post house at a speed comparable to that of the wind, why would the higher authorities send such a strange-speaking adult to torture them.
"The sunset is infinitely good, but it's just near dusk."
"Bang bang." Mingshuang clapped her hands, then leaned against the old willow tree behind her with a sword in both hands, and teased: "The girl's knowledge has made great progress!" ”
"Ming Gongzi has won the award, and this girl has always been like this. Hahaha...... "Bai Qiaoshui also learned from Mingshuang's appearance, leaning against the old willow tree with his arms crossed.
Xiao Heng, who was hiding behind another tree, heard it, squinted his eyes and looked up at the sunset in mid-air for a while, and then hung his head with a black line, is this still a lot of progress?
This kind of simple poetry, his little nephew of three years old would, alas, these two people.
There was the sound of a carriage coming in the distance, Xiao Heng looked at that place, and a string of carriages came in the distance.
Rubbing his eyes and looking again, he was not mistaken, it was indeed a string, almost seven or eight cars, and each of the next two cars was tied together with ropes, and finally it was strung into a string.
What made him even more puzzling was that the person sitting outside the carriage was actually the bearded Deliang of Heiyunzhai.
Deliang drove the carriage to stop in front of Bai Qiaoshui and Mingshuang, then got out of the carriage, and after letting Mingshuang give a number, he handed over the carriage to Bai Qiaoshui and Mingshuang, and he turned around and walked the way he came.
Seeing that the carriage was driving into the distance, Xiao Heng continued to follow.
"Mingshuang, have you heard any news about this trip to Heiyun Village?"
"I heard Yun Qing say that there has been a lot of fanfare in Gunzhou, it seems that he is going to welcome someone, and it is even more grand than the last time he welcomed King Su, and I don't know who it is."
"That's probably the official who sent grain and grass here, if it's more grand than King Su, I'm afraid it's the crown prince Xiao Yan, and the emperor can't come in person."
Mingshuang turned her head to stare at her, and the corners of her eyes were full of smiles: "Listening to the girl's tone, it seems to be strategizing." ”
Bai Qiaoshui pulled Mingshuang to his side, picked up his chin with one hand, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "This girl has no other advantages, that is, she is both wise and brave, and the eldest prince of Ming is so coquettish to look at what others are doing, look at this seductive little appearance, come, let the girl kiss me." ”
"Get out of here, get out of here! Lao Tzu is also disciplined, I didn't see Lao Tzu driving a carriage. ”
"Hahaha......" Bai Qiaoshui smiled, turned his head and looked at Mingshuang beside him with a smug expression, "It seems like I'm afraid of you." ”
"Don't worry, when Xiao Yan comes, how can I have the heart to mess with you, let me tell you, in Yunliang, the prince is really stunning!" Bai Qiaoshui shook his head and shook his head, and he was really intoxicated by the beauty of this prince.
Mingshuang sneered and shook her head, their master Qianyilou is really hopeless, is there anyone in this world who loves beauty more than her?
The two of them were playing all the way, but it was bitter for Xiao Heng who was following behind, Xiao Heng looked at the two of them, and his heart was mixed.
Are you kissed or not? Princess, princess, can't you be sorry for our prince.
Eh, why did these two get involved with the prince again? Their princess still covets the beauty of the prince, what can be done if it is swollen......
When the carriage drove into the barracks, Xiao Heng didn't continue to follow, thinking that Mingshuang's kung fu was not weak, and he couldn't go in, so it was better to go back as soon as possible to report.
Because Bai Weak Sailor had the token that Shen Yuzhi gave her last time, after Xiaobing reported, the two were let in.
Bai Xiaoshui jumped down from the carriage and stood in front of Shen Youzhi, his eyebrows raised, his lips were full of bright smiles, and he patted him on the shoulder: "This girl is what she says, right?" ”
In order to express his gratitude, Shen Yuzhi also patted her shoulder and smiled back, completely without the previous-for-tat.
"Miss Bai, thank you, you saved the lives of our army, let's write off the previous grievances." Hearing Shen Yuzhi's tone, Bai Xiaoshui also nodded approvingly.
"Come on, don't look at it, girl, it's not as good-looking as Ben Gongzi anyway, so Ben Gongzi will be aggrieved and lend Ben Gongzi's face to you." Mingshuang threw a wink at Bai Qiaoshui and pulled her away, without thinking about Shen Yuzhi's farewell at all.
When Bai Qiaoshui looked back, Shen Yuzhi was standing in place, petrified.
