Northern Qin is the northernmost place in the Yi Kingdom, and further north of Northern Qin is Linzhou, which was occupied by the Ice Kingdom.

The original ice country was located in the territory of the four seasons with long winters and short springs, summers and autumns, and there was no sunlight in winter.

But after the Ice Kingdom took away Linzhou two hundred years ago, they moved the capital of the Ice Country to Fuyang, the capital of Linzhou Prefecture, changed Fuyang to Changyang, and changed Linzhou to Yangzhou, and they solved the crisis that there were always not many people in the Ice Country.

Linzhou has four distinct seasons, although the winter is cold, but it is much better than the ice country, and Linzhou is densely forested, there are many wild beasts, the land is fertile, it is the best place to survive, in the past two hundred years, the ice country has increased rapidly because of the abundance of food and a suitable place to live, and because of the ice country after two generations of emperors, the country has become strong.

The Ice Kingdom has their spies in the Yi State, and as early as around June, they knew that the Yi State planned to fight the Ice Country, so they have been provoking wars on the border, but as early as after the matter of Otani was decided, Emperor Bunraku ordered the army to quickly return to the cage, and sent the hoarded soldiers from the three states near Kyoto, and there were more than 20,000 people who withstood the Ice Country's crazy attacks one after another in the past few months.

Di Yuxiang took office on the first day he arrived at the military capital of Northern Qin, and it was at this time that the Ice Kingdom launched its most fierce attack in recent months.

So, after he received the decree to hang it up in the government office, he put on his armor and took 3,000 elite soldiers to the border of northern Qin, 200 miles away......

In the backyard of the mansion, Chang Nan wanted to follow his father to the battlefield, but he was still defeated by his poor mother, who was looking at him pitifully, and could only watch his father gallop away.

Changnan was not yet ten years old, and Xiao Yuzhu would rather let him go to the barracks and roll in the mud with those uncles and uncles, smelling all over his body, rather than follow his father to the battlefield now.

As soon as they entered the mansion, General Tao's wife, who had returned to Qinbei for a while, brought a mighty ox cart to deliver something to Xiao Yuzhu within half a day, and the radish was pulled by two carts.

Xiao Yuzhu saw that the ten cattle and horses that came drove into the mansion, her mouth opened slightly while holding Mrs. Tao's hand, and she turned her head and asked, "Sister, have you brought me all the Tao family's everything?" ”

Qinbei is the foundation of the Tao family, and the entire people surnamed Tao in Qinbei can more or less have a little relationship with the Tao family of their big clan, and check it according to the genealogy of five generations and ten generations, maybe it is still an ancestor.

In northern Qin, the Tao family is a big surname, and Tao Jiang is not the biggest official of the Tao family, but he is the most capable military attache of the Tao family, especially after Dagu, the people on the Tao family's side know that he is highly regarded by the saint, and Tao Hong's status in the family has been able to climb......

She had prepared something for the Di family early, and as soon as Xiao Yuzhu came, she was already very happy, and when she heard Xiao Yuzhu say this, Mrs. Tao laughed and said, "What I gave to Mrs. Zhang is almost the same, you are the same." ”

Xiao Yuzhu almost laughed at Mrs. Tao's rich and rude words, and once again understood why General Tao always counted the silver flowers for her.

No matter how much money goes to Mrs. Tao, she can be defeated, Mrs. Tao is happy as long as she spends money, she doesn't care how much she spends at all.

General Tao is not weak, their family also has a weapons shop, specializing in making weapons for the imperial court, is poor and poor, I heard that Mrs. Tao is the person in charge of the weapons shop, Xiao Yuzhu thought to herself, General Tao did not give her money to spend, she designated to reach into her son's money bag.

Otherwise, there will be more than ten cars as soon as it is delivered, which is to send something, which is no different from emptying the Tao Mansion.

Xiao Yuzhu didn't count the money with Mrs. Tao, she took the things, and invited the boys to meet Mrs. Tao, Mrs. Tao had to take Changfu to their house to play, Changfu didn't want to go for the time being, but he had a sweet mouth and said to Mrs. Tao, "Uncle Tao, Changfu didn't rest well, you see, I don't have the strength to speak, it's not good to take my sister to play, you wait for me to sleep enough, and my strength is great, I'll go to your house to ask the general and you to say goodbye, hug my little sister, do you think it's okay?" ”

Mrs. Tao nodded again and again, "It's good, it's good, I'll pick you up." ”

As long as Mrs. Tao is there, the atmosphere is cheerful, Xiao Yuzhu likes her, and the children also like to play with Uncle Tao who loves to talk to them, Xiao Yuzhu will stay with Mrs. Tao for a while, but unfortunately Mrs. Tao is now back at home, many people are busy, only stayed in Di Mansion for a small half a day, and the housekeeper from her house said that there was a distinguished guest at home, please go back.

Xiao Yuzhu turned around and called Mr. Ledger to come over, and asked the Tao family and their family how much iron they bought, and after hearing this, she calculated and asked Mr. Ledger to wipe more than 1,000 large fractions this time, and the fraction in the future, if there are only more than 100 pieces of silver, will also be wiped out.

The accounts of the Di family have always been managed by the lady, and what she said is more effective than the adults, and the adults sometimes have to use the silver, and the account man has to run errands to ask her what she means, and the end is the branch, the words of the lady, what the command is what it is, and the account man who has been following the Di family and his wife from the capital to the crown, and then to the capital in Kansai got the word, and took the order.

He also saw the things sent by the Tao family in his eyes, and said in his heart, this Mrs. Tao is also another kind of person who can be a person, seeing her extravagant and always taking her own silver seriously, she often takes it back invisibly, more than she used.

Like Mrs. Zhang, she usually looks at the things that only Mrs. Tao flatters her, but if the Tao family transports things back to Qinbei from all over the country, only her Mrs. Zhang's wife will release people all the way to the checkpoints, and she can save no less than 100,000 taels of silver taels a year.

When it came to their Di family, the price that Mrs. gave to the Tao family was not high, and no matter how much she smeared a little bit of it, it would be tens of thousands of taels a year.

This Mrs. Tao, just the two items he knows, saving for the Tao family is enough for her to spend three or five years, and General Tao really doesn't have to lack her money.

**

Mrs. Zhang only came the next day, she came to Qinbei and had a cold, she hadn't been through the door for a while, yesterday's illness had not completely faded, and today she felt almost better, so she came to see Mrs. Di.

As soon as she heard what Mrs. Tao sent, she sighed at Xiao Yuzhu, "Don't talk about you, give me a lot, it was almost night last night, and she also sent me a cold-dispelling plaster that was said to be a hundred trials and a hundred spirits to paste for me, and there are more than twenty pieces to take, do you think she has a heart?" Do you want me to be sick for another twenty days? I don't know if she's cursing people, you say she's almost forty years old, how can she be more innocent than a little girl? ”

Xiao Yuzhu was amused when she heard it.

Mrs. Zhang also smiled, "Don't really say it, the plaster works, I feel much better after sticking it all night, no, I'm here to see you today, I heard that as soon as Master Di entered the mansion, he didn't even rest his feet for half a moment, and then went to the battlefield?" ”

"Yes," Xiao Yuzhu nodded and said with a smile, "Changnan, they went to the training camp, and they didn't come back until noon, you have lunch with us and then come back, do you think it's good?" ”

"Eh, okay, go back, I also set up a sand table for our master, my health and eyes are not good these days, I will be dizzy after a while, and I should rest for half a day today."

Mrs. Zhang is a veteran of plating, she has helped her old man set the road shape for a lifetime, and her ability is not under Lord Zhang, Xiao Yuzhu heard that the person who sent her to Lord Zhang came back and told her husband that Mrs. Zhang is a strict teacher.

Master Yan is good, Master Yan is a high apprentice, she remembers what her husband said at the time, but she looked at Mrs. Zhang who was talking and laughing in front of her now, and she really couldn't imagine what she looked like as Master Yan.

She couldn't be more loving and kind to Mrs. Tao and her.

It seems that people are not only one side, but Mrs. Zhang's side, for Xiao Yuzhu, is willing to accept it.

Dealing with people like Mrs. Zhang, laughing and laughing, talking about things seriously, she can get straight to the point in two or three sentences, never embarrassed people, everything is said and done, and she is the best person to get along with.

"I have a little bit of the medicine given to me by my sister-in-law's daughter-in-law, it is to cure wind and cold headaches, can you use some?" Xiao Yuzhu proposed.

"Okay." As soon as Mrs. Zhang heard it, she knew that it was the appointment of the Twilight family, and she patted her hand, "I'm welcome." ”

Xiao Yuzhu called Ah Sangpo to get the medicine, and Mrs. Zhang hadn't seen Osmanthus for a long time, so she asked her, "Osmanthus is also here?" ”

"Here, as soon as the confinement comes out, it is not suitable to take a carriage, but I still came with me, I am used to following her, if she doesn't come, I can't see this person in my eyes, and I feel uncomfortable." Osmanthus is a child born in early September, there are many things in the house, Xiao Yuzhu can't remember her, and when Osmanthus is just done in confinement, she has to run with her, and she still has a milk doll by her side, Xiao Yuzhu feels a little sorry for her, so she is exempted from her business, let her concentrate on taking a child and then talk to her, just come and talk to her sooner or later.

"People are like this, and when they get used to it, they don't like change." Mrs. Zhang nodded.

"That's not it." Xiao Yuzhu sighed.

"Speaking of which," Mrs. Zhang asked Xiao Yuzhu, "the wives of officials from all over Qinzhou, do you want to pick a day to meet?" ”

"I want to see you," Xiao Yuzhu nodded, and said softly to Mrs. Zhang, "But you have to have a good name, and when you win a big battle, you will hold a small luncheon, and invite the ladies from all over the world to come and sit for a while, what do you think?" ”

Seeing that she used the honorific title as soon as she asked for advice, Mrs. Zhang shook her head to signal that she didn't have to be so polite, and then pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay, now that our army has killed more than 5,000 people, this time is indeed not suitable for a big banquet." ”

Xiao Yuzhu sighed.

Seeing that she sighed a little absent-mindedly, Mrs. Zhang guessed that she was worried about Lord Di on the battlefield, and couldn't help but comfort her, "Don't worry, Lord Di is the rear governor, so you don't have to go to the battlefield." ”

Xiao Yuzhu smiled in a trance, and then smiled bitterly at Mrs. Zhang, "Don't lie to me, he asked someone to coax me and said that he didn't go to the battlefield, I really didn't know, he fought all the way from Kansai to Datani, but he didn't go to the front, this time he came to Qinbei, he has learned Bing Mandarin for almost a year, I don't believe it, he won't go to the battlefield." ”

"He's got a guard by his side." Mrs. Zhang turned her head and comforted her in a different way.

Xiao Yuzhu had a little smile, "But he's a little good, but he is sorry for his life, and I'm still relieved of this." ”

"It's the same as my Lord Zhang," Mrs. Zhang also laughed, "You see, he fought a lifetime of war, and transported a lifetime of military rations to the emperor and the emperor, and he still lived to this ancient age, and none of their soldiers were as long as his life......"

Mrs. Zhang then talked about some anecdotes about Lord Zhang's previous escape, her words were funny, Xiao Yuzhu listened to it very interestingly, and she talked with Mrs. Zhang for a morning.

However, there are always some things in the world that backfire, Xiao Yuzhu took her sons to live in the Qinbei Mansion on the fifth day, and saw the guard in the escort who told the most lies and did not change his face come back to ask her for medicine, saying that a general in the barracks had been hit by an arrow, and the adults sent him back to ask her for the medicine that Miss Fei had left for her. 166 Reading Network
