It's nearly June, the weather in the capital is getting hotter and hotter, and many people who are afraid of heat wear straw hats and roll up their sleeves when they go out; The more sophisticated rich and noble people held parasols and changed into tulle clothes.

Du Shi was pregnant, but there were no reactions such as vomiting and nausea, but she was afraid of the heat, and the family was crowded in a carriage, and she didn't go far, so she was drenched in sweat and kept fanning the wind with a fan.

"Mother, is it hot?"

Cai Fei took a handkerchief to help her mother wipe the sweat beads from her forehead, and took the fan in her hand intimately, and personally fanned her.

Du Shi smiled: "Maybe it's because I'm pregnant, I always feel that this year's summer is earlier than in previous years, and on this day, it's going to be hot." ”

Mu Zhongqing said: "It's not yet June, it's so hot, if you wait until July and August, won't you have heat stroke?" Or, go to the ice shop tomorrow to order some ice, and put it in the house every day to relieve the heat."

In this era, there is no refrigerator freezer or the like, summer ice, is definitely a precious and rare thing, only the palace or the dignitary's home will build a high-priced ice cellar to store ice, ordinary people's homes are not able to use ice, there are one or two shops selling ice in the capital, but the price of ice inside is too expensive, only those small officials or merchants who can't afford to repair the ice cellar will go to the ice shop to buy a few pieces of ice support when the banquet is invited, Usually I would never be willing to buy those few taels of silver for a pot of ice lumps.

Du Shi heard that Xianggong was going to buy her ice to dispel the heat, so he hurriedly said no.

The price of ice is expensiveShe knew that she had been poor and scared all these years, so she took the matter of money very seriously.

Now although the life of the family is good, but now the children are still young, and they don't use much money, and when the children are older in the future, Wen'er and Wu'er are studying, and the dowry of Wei'er and Fei'er's marriage, plus this one in the stomach, the five children don't know how much silver they get, how can she be willing to waste the silver on this ice cube that can't be eaten and drunk

"When I was pregnant with them in the past, I was also afraid of heat, and I didn't use ice cubes to give birth to them all safely. It's not easy to make money, don't spend money indiscriminately, now that there is an extra mouth in the family, there will be more days to use money in the future."

Mu Zhongqing knew that his wife was frugal and afraid of spending money, so he didn't say anything, but secretly planned that when he returned to the shop, he would go to the ice shop to order some ice for her.

Cai Fei saw that her mother had been wiping her sweat frequently, so she opened the curtain of the car window so that the wind could blow into the car and relieve her mother's heat.

The moment when the curtain was lifted

In a brothel across the street called "Drunken Spring Courtyard", a few gentlemen with fans had a good night, and they were walking out satisfied, and inadvertently, they happened to see the extremely clean little face in the car.

That little face is quiet and elegant, and the cheeks are pink when you smile, like the shallowest and most lingering cloud at the beginning of the sunset, with both the youth of a girl and the beauty of a woman, only for a moment, several pairs of eyes suddenly widened, staring at the bright little face exposed in the car window in surprise.

Cai Fei was holding the curtain and laughing with her mother, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of the pairs of greedy and lustful eyes opposite, and suddenly frightened her to lose her face, and she lowered the curtain in a panic and covered her heart. "What's wrong?"

Du Shi noticed that his daughter's face was wrong, and couldn't help but ask with concern.

Cai Fei didn't want her mother to worry, so she pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled: "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered the eldest sister, I don't know where she is now?" When exactly will you come back. “

Hearing the mention of Cai Wei, Du Shi's face fell, and he sighed: "Hey, your sister is too, a daughter's family, she just left when she said she would, and she didn't discuss with her father and mother, and she even left in a hurry to leave at night, which really didn't let her mother worry......" "Afraid of something, the eldest sister has kung fu, and there is our master to support her, don't worry about it." “

Wen'er sat beside Du Shidao like a little adult, speaking for her sister.

Mu Zhongqing was holding Wu'er to play with Jiulianhuan, and when he heard his wife complaining, he also raised his head, and said for his daughter: "What Wen'er said is reasonable, I think it was okay for the tiger to take our Wei'er away, and it will be okay this time, so don't worry about it, it is right to raise the fetus with peace of mind." “

Du Shi understands what their father and son say, but when their daughter is away from home, it is inevitable that the mother will be worried, and there will be a few more nagging......

Across the street

A young man with a rebellious expression and a jade crown and brocade robe beckoned to a clever little man: "Go, keep an eye on the carriage in front of you, and inquire, whose beauty is in the car?" Inquire and understand, the master is rewarded"

The little guy smiled and said, "Don't worry, the slave will help you inquire properly."

As he spoke, he pulled over a horse, rolled over, and chased after him in a puff of smoke...

Several swingers who stayed in place laughed, and some said: "The prince is really lucky, as soon as he goes out, he can meet such a delicate little beauty, which really makes us envious..." “

The young man who was called the prince of the world shook his fan, looked at the direction of the disappearance of the Mu family's car, and said arrogantly: "Oh, it is her blessing to be able to enter the eyes of the prince of this world" "Yes, yes, yes, to be favored by our Guangling Wang Shiziye, it is her blessing, it is the blessing she has cultivated for several lifetimes, who doesn't know that our Guangling King is a first-class celebrity in front of the emperor......" "Hehe, congratulations to the prince for getting a beautiful woman again......"

The prince of Guangling raised his lips and smiled triumphantly. "Don't be busy congratulating this son, when this son has had enough, it will naturally belong to you." "Hey, hey, thank you, thank you, thank you, ......"

Several young sons who followed the prince of Guangling were busy thanking the prince of Guangling, as if they had already reached their hands

……

Mu Zhongqing sent Du Shi and Wen'er Wu'er to Zhuangzi, and was picked up by Zhang Dangtou's wife You Shi, Mu Zhongqing had to rush back to the restaurant, and Fei'er also had to rush back to Buzhuang to learn embroidery, the two told Du Shi a few words, and then returned to the car.

On the way, Fei'er said: "Dad, there are the daughters of Zhang Dangtou's family and Mama Dou in Zhuangzi taking care of Niang and Wen'er Wu'er, it's very safe, it's better to let Zhaoqiu follow me these days." “

Mu Zhongqing said: "Speaking of which, you should also have a personal maid, originally my father wanted to buy you a girl to call, but I didn't like it for a while, so I didn't buy it, but my father has entrusted Qin Zhongren to help keep an eye on it, and when there is a good one, I will buy one for you." “

Fei'er lowered her eyes, smiled shallowly, and said: "Thank you, Dad, it's just that this matter is not urgent, you have to search slowly, and you can buy it when you meet a satisfactory one, otherwise you can stay by your side if you buy a bad one, but worry, for now, let Zhaoqiu follow me first."

In fact, she is not used to calling people, and the reason why she proposed to take Calling Qiu with her is because she knows that Calling Autumn has a unique skill and can help her defend herself. For some reason, she had been feeling deeply uneasy since she accidentally saw those few wolf-eyed gentlemen in the morning, and she always felt as if something bad was about to happen, so for the sake of safety, she had to take Zhaoqiu with her, just in case.

Of course, these words can't be said to my father and mother, because this is just her feeling, not a fact, and if my mother knows, she will not be allowed to leave the house again, how can she learn art from her mother?

When they came in the morning, because the carriage couldn't sit down, Dou Mama and Zhaoqiu didn't come with them, but went to the Bafu dim sum shop, waiting for the car to come to the village with Zhang Darttou delivering dim sum, so when she went back, she opened the curtain of the car and kept an eye on the passing carriage while watching the scenery, so that she could intercept them halfway.

In early summer, when the crops are growing vigorously, the wheat in the field is stretching its branches and leaves, absorbing the sunshine and rain dew, under the morning sun, a piece of tranquility can not be seen, the warm wind blows, the green carpet ripples, sending fresh air mixed with the soil, making the pores open comfortably.

The sun has risen high, and many people on the side of the road are busy with their morning work, carrying hoes, carrying baskets, carrying children to go home, hearing the sound of horses' hooves, they have given way to the side of the road, hanging their heads to avoid. Fei'er looked at the scenery all the way, and soon returned to the capital, and when she was about to enter the city, she saw Zhang Dart's carriage coming.

Uncle Zhang hurriedly stopped the car, stopped Zhang Darttou's car, and asked Qiu to come here to accompany the second lady.

Zhao Qiu was a trouble-free man, and when he heard the order, he came over without saying a word, sat on the wheel beside Uncle Zhang, and went back to the city with them......

……………。

Cai Wei and Nangong Yi only got up at noon, Nangong Yi called for water and put it in the tent outside, and planned to take her to wash together, but she couldn't help but drive her out.

The man thought she was making a little temperament, so he had no choice but to wash it himself, and after washing, he took a clean wet hand towel and planned to help her wipe her body, but found that she was already sitting there refreshingly.

Not only that, but she also changed her clothes, recombed her hair, and even warmed up the talents on the table one by one.

Nangong Yi was stunned for a while, and suddenly thought of her identity as the heir of Fuyou Island, and couldn't help but smile dumbly, and walked over. "It's so rich, the lady has worked hard."

He lifted his robe and sat down on the chair, his posture was tall and bright, and he looked at Cai Wei with a deep smile.

This smile easily reminded her of the ridiculous things they had just done, Cai Wei's heart was empty, her face turned red, and her cheeks felt hot and hot. "Eating"

Her tone was very bad, as if she was annoyed by his mysterious smile, and as if she was angry that she shouldn't be soft on him, and that she should let him be abstinent and hold him back

Seeing that she was annoyed, Nangong Yi smiled dotingly, picked up a piece of fish meat with chopsticks, carefully picked out the fish bones, and after picking them, put the fish meat on her plate. "I just let the lady be wronged on the couch, is it for the husband, and the husband will not be like this in the future, but I still have to thank the lady for the fulfillment, and finally let the husband know what are the differences between women and men"

He said seriously, without any shame on his face, as if the curious and curious baby who was shining with wolf light and picking and touching her just now was not him, "Shut up and eat"

Cai Wei grinds her teeth, "Don't mention what happened just now" "Yes, lady"

He agreed good-naturedly, took the chopsticks slowly, and began to eat, his movements were elegant, and he regained his lazy and noble appearance.

However, Cai Wei is not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful man now, she has other things in her heart. "Nangong Yi, since you came to Lingbei, how many battles have you fought with the Mengnu people? The result? “

Hearing Cai Wei mention the matter, Nangong Yi also became serious, he put down his chopsticks and sat down and looked at Cai Wei. "We fought three times, and we won the battle, and I originally planned to continue to fight, but the grain and grass ran out, and the war had to be stopped."

Cai Wei said: "I don't know how to fight, but I know that there will be casualties when there is a war, I just want to ask you, is there a way to let the Mongnu Han surrender without a fight, as long as they are willing to pay tribute to our Great Jin and pay tribute every year, this battle can be fought without fighting." “

Nangong Yi smiled and said: "Tuoba Kui is a bold and ambitious person, and he will never do anything to surrender without a fight, even if we don't come to fight him, when he is strong, he will definitely come to fight our Dajin, so Wei'er don't worry about casualties, this is something that will happen sooner or later, and it has nothing to do with you." “

Cai Wei knew that this was Nangong Yi comforting her, telling her that this war and killing had nothing to do with her, and that she was also telling her in disguise, that it was impossible to win without a fight.

However, Cai Wei feels that there is nothing impossible in this world, as she often heard in her previous life: there is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of people with hearts.

Since this matter was caused by her, it is natural for her to solve it, but how to solve it?

She was in a state of misery......

After eating, Nangong Yi told Cai Wei to sleep and rest, and he went to the camp to inspect, as soon as he left, Cai Wei climbed onto the couch and fell asleep beautifully, she ran all night on a white-haired tiger last night, and consumed so much body on the couch in the morning, she was already sleepy, so she forgot about the problem of choosing a seat, and as soon as her head touched the pillow, she slept beautifully.

Nangong Yi inspected the camp for two hours, and discussed with several generals the plan to attack the Monnus, and when he returned to the camp, it was already two hours later.

Cai Wei had been asleep, sleeping so deeply that she didn't even hear the man come in.

Nangong Yi returned to the tent and saw Cai Wei lying on the couch, covered with his quilt, sleeping deeply, a fair and transparent face was quiet and quiet, and her red mouth was slightly open, like a flower that invited people to pick, which made people can't help but want to ravage it, and like a red fruit, I wanted him to take a bite.

He sat down on the edge of the couch and stared at the girl on the couch, his white and slender hands couldn't help but caress the face that made him think about it, and his charming eyes flashed with gentle warmth.

Cai Wei was in her sleep, faintly feeling that someone was touching her, the hand was warm, the bones were distinct, with a familiar scent of ambergris, was carefully stroking her cheeks, itchy, her eyelids moved a few times, her long eyelashes shook like two small fans, and opened her eyes. "Awake?"

The man smiled softly, and his smile was doting.

Cai Wei let out a "hmm", with a heavy bed air in her voice. Half-open and misty eyes that had just woken up, blinking, not in focus, and couldn't figure out where they were for a while......

Meng Meng's expression instantly killed a man's heroic heart, his heart beat violently a few times, and his charming eyes looked at her for a moment, and his eyes were full of tenderness that even he didn't notice. "Uh...... I'll cook for you. “

Half a day later, Cai Wei woke up, and she found that it was already dark outside, so she got up and wanted to cook for the man. "No need, I've already brought it back for you"

Nangong Yi pressed her shoulders and didn't let her get off the ground, while she got up and went to the outer room.

After a while, he walked in with a thin porcelain bowl and sat down on the edge of the couch.

In that bowl, there was a full bowl of white rice porridge, and on the side, there was a little pickle. "Eating too greasy at night is not good for the body, and eating porridge is just right......"

Nangong Yi said, took a spoon, scooped a spoonful of porridge, and tasted the hot and cold before sending it to her mouth.

Cai Wei didn't feel uncomfortable at all, dodged for a while, and reached out to take the spoon with a little embarrassment, "I'll just come by myself." “

Nangong Yi avoided her hand, still holding the spoon, and said with a smile: "Eat, taste it to see if it suits your appetite." “

Since she couldn't avoid it, Cai Wei had to open her mouth and let him feed herself spoonful by spoonful.

A bowl of porridge was put down, Nangong Yi put down the bowl, took off his shoes, and went up to the couch.

Cai Wei looked at the sky outside and said, "Shouldn't you go to bed now?"

Nangong Yi raised his peach eyebrows: "Why not?" Tomorrow the four greater armies will be mobilized to attack Qinlun City, and I have already ordered the officers and men of the three armies to rest as soon as possible, lest they have no spirit for tomorrow's battle. “

When it came to fighting, Cai Wei couldn't help but think of killing, and she asked cautiously: "Nangong Yi, if you capture a city, how will you treat the people where?" “

The man lay down beside her, took her in his arms, and casually spat out two words: "Slaughter the city"

Cai Wei was startled, broke free from his embrace, sat up, and her voice was a little excited: "Slaughter the city? Are you mistaken, what are the two armies doing to the people? Why do you want to slaughter the city? Is it because they are the people of your enemy country that even the old man and the children must be killed? What's the difference between you doing this and a tyrant? “

Nangong Yi didn't expect her reaction to be so intense, so she also got up, hugged her, and said softly: "I remember I once told you, the people of Mengnu are fierce, and they have always been all soldiers, regardless of men, women, old and young, once they fight, all have to go to the battlefield, at present, there are about 300,000 people in Mengnu, it can be said that babbling babies and old people paralyzed in bed, the rest, have to go to the battlefield" "But, are they willing to go to the battlefield?" Was it forced or did they themselves do it willingly? I don't believe that those women and children would be willing to go to war, and if they were forced, wouldn't it be too sad to be killed after being captured? “

Although she didn't want to interfere too much in his affairs, as long as she thought that many innocent people would be killed, including some lovely children, some old people who were dying, some mothers who were reluctant to give up their children, and some upright young men and women, she couldn't calm down, let alone keep herself out of the matter. "Wei'er, they are not only the people of Mongnu, but also the warriors and soldiers of Monnu, if we don't kill them, they will kill us in the future, I can't leave a legacy for my soldiers"

Nangong Yi's tone was a little helpless, although Cai Wei didn't see his face, she could feel his lonely expression

Cai Wei looked up at him, with a firm look in her clear eyes, "Nangong Yi, if the big man of Mengnu can surrender, this battle will not have to be fought, right?" "Yes, it's just not possible."

Nangong Yi laid her flat on the couch and covered her, unwilling to continue the topic.

However, Cai Wei did not give up her thoughts: "Nangong Yi, can we reach an agreement?"

Nangong Yi's lips were almost on her lips, and she stopped a few centimeters away from her when she said such a terrible thing.

"What agreement?"

"Give me three days, I'll go to see Tuoba Kui, and I'll figure out a way to make him surrender to our Great Jin, and in these three days, you can attack Qinlun City, but you are not allowed to slaughter the city."

Nangong Yiyi sat up and refused categorically without thinking about it: "No"

Cai Wei was furious, "Why? ”

Nangong Yi said decisively: "I can't let you take risks, in case Tuoba Kui has bad intentions towards you, won't I regret it for the rest of my life?" ”
