Yun Yao was locked up at home.

Although I don't know what Han Qi means, it is clear that he is very dissatisfied with himself.

Last night, after he said the word "yes" as a matter of course, a deep fear burst out in Han Qi's eyes. Yes, fear, although she didn't know why her father was afraid, but her father and her mother did show complete fear.

The father soon left, and the mother's handkerchief fell to the ground and was not picked up for a long time.

"A-Yao." She heard her mother ask dryly, "How many years have you known him?" ”

Years? Yun Yao frowned, it should have been more than two hundred years. After many lifetimes, there were some things she couldn't remember clearly. But Gao Su's appearance, his affection for himself, has always been firmly remembered in his mind, and he has never forgotten it.

"A-Yao." Mrs. Han sighed, "You're still too young. ”

Puzzled, she looked down at her hands.

Her face darkened.

"I've heard that in two months' time, the general will be crowned." Mrs. Han said eloquently, "You still stay in the house these two days, don't go out." After that, he picked up his handkerchief and left.

Yun Yao's face was really dark.

She's full now, and she's only thirteen years old.

Long compliment him...... What the hell was going on in his head!

Yun Yao was sulking in the room by Mrs. Han, and suddenly wanted to ask Gao Su for clarification. Her soul broke free from her body, floated around the room for a while, and then slowly floated back into her body.

Before asking Gao Su, she wanted to ask about her tortoise shell.

She took the cold tortoise shell from her bosom and threw it into the brazier, watching it crackle. A moment later, a cloud of smoke rose in mid-air and gradually filled the room.

In that smoke, Gao Su and Han Qi left the palace one after the other. Han Qi inadvertently mentioned that his daughter had reached the age of thirteen, and it was time for his wife to prepare to find her relatives, and the next moment Gao Su's face darkened.

Obviously, this was last night. After Yun Yao crossed again, this tortoise shell showed the ability to go back.

Subsequently, Gao Su said the fatal sentence "My heart is happy".

This time it was Han Qi's turn to turn blue.

The reason was found, because Han Qi accidentally said a word about proposing, which triggered Gao Su's food protection move.

Yun Yao sighed, picked out the tortoise shell from the brazier, and carefully wiped the ashes on it. The women here are thirteen or fourteen years old, and when they are fifteen years old, they will get married. It's no wonder that Gao Su behaved so anxiously after listening to Han Qi's words.

What about Han Qi? Was his frowning that day because she was still young, or because Gao Su was unpredictable?

She thought about it for a moment, but couldn't think of a reason, so she gave up. Seeing that it was getting dark outside, and it should be almost the time for her mother-in-law to deliver food, she simply cleaned up, extinguished the brazier, put away the copper coins and tortoise shells, and sat upright on the chair, waiting for the arrival of dinner.

Although the cuisine of the Song Dynasty was not as varied as in later generations, it can still be looked forward to occasionally.

About a quarter of an hour later, there was a knock on the door outside. She adjusted her tone, said "come in" coldly, and stopped talking. There was a slight click of unlocking outside, and the two mothers-in-law entered her room with the food box, put it down, and left with the food box that had been empty at noon.

From beginning to end, I didn't say a word to her.

She lifted her forehead, gave up the idea of asking for news from her mother-in-law, and her soul slowly detached from her body, disappeared from the air, and floated slowly towards the front hall.

Han Qi was meeting guests, and Mrs. Han was making tea.

Some of the maids were sprinkling and sweeping, some were doing needlework, and most of them were holding their breath and not daring to speak.

She listened carefully for a while, and heard two pieces of news from the conversation between Han Qi and the guests: one was Gao Su's move to bring back the lord of Western Xia, which greatly deterred some people and also gained a great voice for Gao Su in the court. Although Gao Su's grade is still not high, he is young, and his future prospects are limitless, so whoever wants to bring him down must be carefully weighed.

The second thing is that Gao Su's strong support for the new policy made the court officials delicate again.

The original Qingli New Deal was two groups of people wrestling their wrists. The old ministers are one group, and the new ministers are another. At first, the reformist ministers had the advantage, but after three or four years, the old-fashioned ministers twisted into a rope and slowly broke back the advantage. But at this time, Gao Su solved the great trouble of the Northern Song Dynasty, stood on the side of the reformists, and broke the advantage back.

Even in the Han Mansion, Yun Yao knew that those ministers had begun to stalemate again.

However, his butterfly wings have changed the original trajectory, and the popular "The Story of Yueyang Tower" will probably not appear?

She lived in the mansion for several days, and stayed honestly every day, but she would go to see Gaosu at night. As for her father...... Well, since he said some strange things that day, there hasn't been anything more.

It's as if I've forgotten what happened that day.

She stayed in the palace for two days, and then she heard that an envoy from the Liao Kingdom had come to talk about their coins and border markets. But the emperor didn't want to talk about it, so he sent Gao Su to the sixteen states of Yanyun. The original stalemate atmosphere was tilted again, and Han Qi's return to the house was getting later and later.

On the day Gao Su left, she sneaked out of the house to see him, wrapped in a thick cloak, but he lightly tapped the tip of her nose and smiled warmly.

He didn't leave her with much to say, just a gentle hug, leaving a vague sentence: "This time it should be fine." ”

- It should have gone well.

- There is no failure in the hexagram she calculated for him.

She sent Gao Su away, and secretly returned to the mansion to continue her daily grounding. Mrs. Han's complexion has been much worse in the past two days, probably because of the stormy weather in Bianliang City. What's more, the maids serving in the house have been cut by a small half.

This stalemate lasted for half a month before it slowly softened in the new war report from the north. Gao Su's move went very smoothly, and he soon firmly controlled the two states in the land of Yanyun. The land of Yanyun was originally dominated by Han people, and they went all the way north, except for the Liao soldiers, they did not encounter any obstacles.

The delicate atmosphere remained until autumn, when another general returned to the west.

It was Di Qing who came back this time. Di Qing not only brought back the remaining remnants of the Western Xia Kingdom, but also brought back the national seal of the Western Xia. The most exciting thing is that before he left, the homeland of the Western Xia Kingdom had been completely taken over by the Song army.

So of course, Han Qi, who was "very familiar with the west", "was born in Jinshi and worked in the Privy Council for a few years", "the emperor's upstart", and "the most suitable for pacification", was sent to the west by a decree.

He was accompanied by several former subordinates. Excluding Fan Zhongyan.

Yun Yao was released.

She followed her mother and sent her father out of the city to watch him leave.

When she returned home, her mother cut her already small number of servants by one-third again.

Hanfu is half empty.

At that time, it was still a building of people, and it could be called the home of Zhong Ming Ding's food, but after several tosses, it was sparsely populated.

Yun Yao obediently stayed in the mansion, waiting for them to come back.

One wait, another two years.

————————————

Two years have passed, and Yun Yao has already reached the end of her life.

According to the custom here, after the ceremony, you can get married.

Although Mrs. Han has been keen to find someone to be a matchmaker in the past two years, her family affairs have not been decided for a long time. Maybe it's because of what she said that day, or maybe it's because Yun Yao herself is too stubborn - she has been stubbornly waiting for Gao Su to return.

However, none of them expected that Gao Su had brought them a great gift.

A gift from Zhao Zhen to ordinary people, who are ecstatic.

Sixteen states of Yanyun. There is also a complete and long line of defense from the Gubeikou to the edge of the desert.

On the day of his return, the entire city of Bianliang was empty. No, no, don't get me wrong, it wasn't the welcome of thousands of empty alleys, but the emperor personally went to the city gate and welcomed Gao Su back to the city. This is a great courtesy, at least in the eyes of the people.

Han Qi placed the homeland of the Western Xia Kingdom in the west, and Zhao Zhen hurriedly sent Fu Bi to settle the sixteen states of Yanyun in the north.

At the same time, Zhao Zhen also threw out a tempting offer: let him enter the Privy Council.

It's simply the first major case in history. However, since the appearance of Gaosu, they have broken countless exceptions.

Unexpectedly, Gao Su rejected the offer.

He only asked the emperor for one reward: marriage.

The Emperor was stunned.

————————————————

"You rejected his offer?"

The moment Yun Yao saw Gao Su, she asked him with some surprise.

You must know that there is no conflict between sealing an official and giving marriage, and Gao Su really has no need for him...... Do so.

"Hmm." Gao Su replied in a deep voice, gently stroked the jade buckle on his belt, and said in a deep voice, "I've done a little too much in the past two years. Prosperity must decline, it has always been a righteous principle. "Besides, he's still a military general.

She thought for a while, then floated in front of Gao Su and looked into his eyes: "Then what's next?" ”

Gao Su rubbed the top of her head, although he couldn't touch it, he could barely talk for comfort.

"Naturally, it has been dormant for a while. It's not good to make too many enemies. ”

She didn't seem to understand.

The will to give marriage soon came down. With the emperor's seal, it was inconvenient for Han Qi to say anything more. The daughter was married from his house, and the son-in-law was almost raised by him, although he was a little dissatisfied, but he reluctantly revealed it.

However, on the day the bride returned to the door, Han Qi showed an unusual seriousness.

He and Gao Su discussed in the study for a long time, and no one was allowed to approach. When they came out, the expressions of both of them became a little heavy. She was still in ignorance, so she was taken back to the mansion by Gao Su, saying that night had fallen.

- Fall, there is no curfew in Bianliang!

She looked at Gao Su angrily, waiting for his explanation.

Gao Su reached out and rubbed her head, and said in a low voice, "It's that I suddenly have some other thoughts from above." Do not worry, for I have consulted with your father, and it is good for us to do so. ”

The emperor really intends to take the redundant officials.
