513 Beginning of the war (II)

Yue Yao sat quietly at the head of the bed, and she couldn't even smell the sweet fragrance that filled the room.

Mingzhu looked at Xiang Wei anxiously and said, "This is stupid." ”

Xiang Wei looked at Yueyao's expression, not like she was scared stupid, but like she was thinking about something. Xiang Wei is used to Yue Yao thinking about things from time to time: "Don't call her yet, she should be thinking about things." ”

Mingzhu didn't dare to speak anymore.

Yue Yao was really thinking about things, thinking about when she started the war in her previous life. After thinking about it for a long time, Yue Yao couldn't remember the specific time of the battle. All she remembered was that the battle had been fought for nearly three years, and it was not over until the year she died.

Yue Yao calculated the time, as if the time of the war had not changed much, but Yue Yao thought that she had said so many things to An Zhichen, An Zhichen should have been prepared, and this battle should not have to be fought for three years!

Yue Yao came back to her senses and looked at Mingzhu and Xiang Wei looking at her intently, Mingzhu said worriedly: "Yueyao, are you okay?" Don't worry, although it is said that there is a war in the northwest, my cousin will definitely be fine. ”

Xiang Wei rolled her eyes, which eye saw that Yue Yao was worried and scared, Xiang Wei also knew that this was not the time to quarrel with Ming Yao: "There is a war in the northwest, we have to go back to the capital." "There is a war in the northwest, and the family members of the generals have to stay in the capital, and the surface is protection, but in fact, it is an unwritten rule to be full of quality.

Yueyao was able to go out of Beijing, it was because in peacetime, the control was a little lax, after all, Yueyao came to Jianghu in the name of visiting Mr. Yushan, and now that there is a war in the northwest, Yueyao will definitely not be able to stay in Jiangnan anymore.

Yue Yao shook her head and said: "I can't leave now, it's November now, the weather is getting colder and colder, and now we can stand it when we go back to Beijing, but a few children can't stand it." "Rushing on a cold day is not a joke about the health of children.

Xiang Wei was a little worried.

Mingzhu supported Yueyao, and after thinking for Xiang Wei's worries, she said: "Yueyao, you write a plea to the queen, and I will write another letter to my aunt, it shouldn't be a big problem." "Yueyao just postponed her return to the capital for a few months, and it wasn't that she didn't return to the capital.

Xiang Wei listened to Mingzhu's words, but didn't say anything more, with the face of the Queen Mother, there is really no problem in returning to Beijing four or five months late.

A housekeeper came over, and Mingzhu was ready to go out to deal with housework.

Xiang Wei looked at Yueyao and said, "What are we going to do now?"

Yue Yao smiled: "Write a guilty excerpt." After speaking, he entered the study, and when it was time for dinner, Yueyao had not come out yet.

Xiang Wei walked in and saw Yueyao painting, Xiang Wei had a feeling of being struck by lightning, her husband was on the battlefield and would face danger at all times, but Yueyao was so calm, she was confident in An Zhichen so she didn't worry, or she didn't care about An Zhichen's safety at all, Xiang Wei thought for a while, and didn't figure out which one Yueyao belonged to, because neither of them could be justified.

Xiang Wei took the pen in Yueyao's hand, and let Yueyao come back to her senses, Yueyao looked at the clock on the wall, it turned out that it was time for dinner.

Xiang Wei asked probingly, "Aren't you worried about An Zhichen?" Speaking of which, the three brothers of Brother Sheng have turned six years old, and it has been six years since An Zhichen left, and in the past six years, Xiang Wei didn't seem to feel that Yueyao missed An Zhichen very much.

Yue Yao was a little strange, and asked rhetorically: "He is my husband and the father of my children, he is now on the battlefield, how can I not worry?"

Xiang Wei pointed to the painting on the easel next to her, which was clear evidence: "Since you are worried, why can you still paint?"

Yue Yao said helplessly: "Does painting have anything to do with worrying?"

If she didn't know about Yueyao, she would definitely feel that Yueyao was very unconscionable when she heard this, but Xiang Wei knew Yueyao very well, so she was sure that there was something wrong here.

Yue Yao didn't allow Wei Duo to think about it, and asked, "Is Niu Yanghui back?"

Xiang Wei nodded and said, "I'm back, I've just come back, I think, Niu Yanghui will not be idle soon." "For the imperial court, fighting a war is burning money, fighting a war to grain and grass, medicine, weapons and all kinds of military materials, none of which are inseparable from money, Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, is the primary place for collecting grain, and Jiangnan is also the first station to raise military salaries in the past, but now the richest is Haikou, Jiangnan ranks second, and the pressure has been relieved a lot.

Yue Yao's face froze: "If there is a war in the northwest, the coastal area will definitely not be peaceful, and those would-be robbers will definitely fish in troubled waters." ”

Xiang Wei's face changed greatly: "Did you dream about it?" Ten times out of ten, Yueyao's dream will come true.

Yue Yao didn't know why, and suddenly laughed: "Still dreaming? Can you guess it? I have to send the excerpt to Niu Yanghui, so that he can send it to the capital quickly. "Only through the post station will the letters be sent back to the capital as quickly as possible.

Niu Yanghui didn't go back to the backyard, in the study in the front yard, Yueyao went straight to the front yard.

The little guy outside the courtyard was very surprised to see Yueyao, and went into the house without any hesitation to report to Niu Yanghui.

Niu Yanghui came out in person and welcomed Yueyao into the study.

This is the first time Yue Yao has come to Niu Yanghui's study, the study is very elegantly furnished, but Yue Yao's expression is gloomy.

Niu Yanghui pointed to a painting on the wall and said with a smile: "You should recognize this painting, right?"

Yue Yao smiled and said, "How can I not recognize my teacher's paintings, it's a pity that my teacher is old and frail now, and he can't paint anymore." "A painter can't hold the pen, it's the biggest sorrow, but there is no way, people will always get old, and she will have that day in the future.

Niu Yanghui sighed lightly and said very regretfully: "Yes! Now it's hard to get a painting of Mr. Tamayama!"

Yue Yao was very generous: "I have a few paintings of the teacher there, if you like it, pick one when the time comes." Seeing Niu Yanghui shaking his head, Yue Yao smiled and said: "I was a family member of my brother-in-law, so I didn't be polite to my brother-in-law, otherwise I wouldn't have lived in your house with all the children in my family." "She has lived in Suzhou with her four children for so long, and everything is the best for food, clothing, housing and transportation, not to mention paying money, Yueyao herself didn't mention the silver.

Niu Yanghui smiled and said, "Since you said so, then I'm not welcome." ”

Yueyao handed the plea she had written to Niu Yanghui: "Brother-in-law, you can help me take a look, but there is anything that needs to be corrected." "Yue Yao is the lady of the decree, and the guilty excerpt is directly sent to the queen, and it is the first time in Yue Yao's life to write such an excerpt.

Niu Yanghui took the excerpt and read it carefully, it goes without saying Yueyao's writing, which does not need to be modified at all, but some small places still need to be modified, such as some words need to be taboo, in this regard, Niu Yanghui is an expert.

After the matter of asking for the guilty fold was finished, Yueyao's expression regained her composure and said, "Brother-in-law, if you don't mind, I want to talk to you." ”

Niu Yanghui looked a little uncomfortable, after all, he was uncomfortable talking to his sister-in-law about the inner courtyard of his house, if it was someone else, he would definitely invite someone out immediately, but Yueyao, how to say it, he was actually a little scared of Yueyao in his heart, even if he mixed well, but in front of Yueyao, he was actually a head shorter.

Yue Yao said: "I want to talk to you about Sister Mingzhu, I think her current state of mind is very inappropriate, I don't know if you have paid attention?"

Niu Yanghui was very surprised, he thought that Yue Yao would accuse him of being a negative man or something, but he didn't expect Yue Yao to talk to him about Mingzhu's state of mind.

Seeing Niu Yanghui's expression, Yue Yao was a little speechless in her heart, could it be that in Niu Yanghui's heart, she was stupid and stupid, she said to Mingzhu so bluntly because of the relationship between the two for more than ten years, so she had no scruples about speaking, but what is the relationship between her and Niu Yanghui, it is just the relationship between her brother-in-law and her sister-in-law, not a kiss, how can she speak so straightforwardly.

Yue Yao really blamed Niu Yanghui for thinking so, Niu Yanghui just felt that Yue Yao was very protective of Mingzhu, and the matter of taking a concubine must have made Yue Yao very angry, so he would naturally be very angry with him.

Yueyao said: "When my sister arrived in Yangzhou in April, I heard her say more than once that she was old, and always said that she had wrinkles between her eyebrows, and even envied me for maintaining it, not looking old, brother-in-law, did my sister tell you this?"

Niu Yanghui nodded and said, "Yes." "Where is it, it has become Mingzhu's mantra, he can afford to listen to the cocoon, and the two of them have quarreled several times, Mingzhu always says that he dislikes her Lao Zhuhuang, of course, these words can't be said to Yueyao.

Yue Yao looked at Niu Yanghui and said, "Then do you know why she always says such things?"

Niu Yanghui was stunned, he really hadn't thought about this question, and after a while, Niu Yanghui asked, "Why?"

Yue Yao sighed slightly: "Because she is afraid." ”

Niu Yanghui was surprised: "Scared? Afraid of what?"

Yueyao is actually quite relieved in her heart, looking at Niu Yanghui's expression, she knows that the situation is not as bad as Mingzhu said, at least for now, Niu Yanghui still has a deep affection for Mingzhu: "She is afraid that her face will not be there, so you will look for those young and beautiful women, it turns out that her fear has become a reality." ”

Niu Yanghui didn't know why, he was very weak-hearted, and said: "I can't ...... either."

Yue Yao shook her head and said, "Don't tell me that you have no choice, even if you refused to accept this woman at the beginning, I don't believe that Governor Zeng dares to take you, what should I do?" Niu Yanghui's biggest backer is not the Marquis of Jingning, but his own father, Master Niu.

Lord Niu is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and he is a second-class member who holds real power, don't look at Governor Zeng is a majestic figure in Jiangnan, many people curry favor with him, but in front of Master Niu, he is nothing, not to mention that Master Niu suppresses him, as long as he makes things difficult for him in some things, it is enough for him to suffer, unless Governor Zeng is in the water of his brain, he will definitely not suppress Niu Yanghui for this little thing without any conflict of interest, and make an enemy as big as Lord Niu.

Niu Yanghui's face stiffened, in fact, he accepted Aunt Gao that day, as Yueyao said, not because he was afraid of Governor Zeng, but because he drank a lot of tonic things that day, and took Aunt Gao that day, Governor Zeng sent this woman to his mansion the next day, these years, the people in Suzhou City have always said that he is afraid of the inside, so he does not dare to accept the small, and there are many people behind the scenes who ridicule him for relying on his wife so he does not dare to accept the small, those rumors are not enough, but if he does not even dare to accept the woman who has been used, then he will completely confirm the name of the fear.

Yueyao didn't want to be so aggressive, otherwise she might be unhelpful: "Brother-in-law should have heard my sister say that I am a person who is particularly afraid of death, right?"

Niu Yanghui didn't know how to respond to this, he often heard Mingzhu say that Yueyao was afraid of death, as for the cause, he also knew that Yueyao was very particular about eating, and she didn't eat this or that, no matter how delicious things Yue Yao tasted lightly, saying that eating too much was not good for her health.

Yueyao said with a smile: "In fact, many times, people will face many choices, and what to choose depends on what they value most, such as me, the body is the most important thing to me, and I can control my appetite, such as my eldest cousin Ma Peng, for him must be the most important wife and children, so he can resist all the pressure and resist all the temptations." Yueyao knows very well that husbands and wives who do not take concubines will bear great pressure, because the husband will be criticized as fearful, and the wife will be criticized as a jealous woman.

Niu Yanghui understood, although what Yueyao said earlier seemed to be inconsequential, in fact, in order to lead to the last sentence, Niu Yanghui asked: "Except for your eldest cousin, Heyue didn't take a concubine?" How do you think he did it?"

Yue Yao relayed what she had said to Mingzhu.

Niu Yanghui was shocked: "If He Yue takes a concubine in the northwest, and when he comes back, you really want to live in Beppu." ”

A strange smile crossed the corner of Yue Yao's mouth, husband and wife are worthy of being husband and wife, Niu Yanghui asked the same question as Mingzhu, Yue Yao said: "Brother-in-law, why do you say that a woman stays in the capital to take care of the housework and raise her children, and she has to worry about her husband's safety, but her husband is hugging left and right in office?"

Niu Yanghui was stunned, he had never thought about this problem.

Yue Yao's voice was a little cold: "I don't care about others, but I will never accept this grievance, if he dares to break his original promise, I will move out with the child, without him, I will live well like the child." "It's impossible to let her suffer such a wretch.

Niu Yanghui thought of Yueyao's achievements today, silently, as far as Yueyao's situation is concerned, without An Zhichen, he is indeed doing well, Niu Yanghui feels that marrying a wife who is too capable is very stressful!

Yueyao hesitated for a moment and said: "Brother-in-law, I shouldn't have been miserable about your husband and wife, but that day I saw my sister crying so sad and desperate, I couldn't bear it, brother-in-law, what I said today is also to hope that you can live a happy and happy life as before, and don't end up as strangers for inexplicable reasons." ”

Niu Yanghui heard the three words of stranger, and his face changed greatly.

Yue Yao didn't say anything anymore, but said goodbye and went back to revise the guilty fold, but when Yue Yao returned to the backyard, she went directly to find Mingzhu.

Mingzhu is looking at the account book, don't look at Mingzhu's daughter who is in the Hou Mansion, the butler of Mingzhu is still very powerful.

Yue Yao looked at the layout in Mingzhu's room and sighed slightly: "I just talked to my brother-in-law about a few words. After that, I briefly talked about what I had just done.

Mingzhu held her hand tightly.

Yue Yao said lightly: "I just went to my brother-in-law's study, and found that his study is very elegantly furnished, if my guess is right, my brother-in-law's study is definitely not arranged by you." "If you let the pearl be arranged, the plan will be magnificent.

Mingzhu nodded, seeing that Yueyao's expression was not quite right: "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong? I originally wanted to decorate his study, but he insisted on arranging it himself. ”

Yue Yao shook her head helplessly: "He definitely won't let you arrange it, he is a scholar, if you let you arrange it, it will definitely be similar to the layout of your bedroom." "The literary style in Jiangnan is very prosperous, and the people here believe that everything is inferior only to high reading, so all those who have some knowledge are very arrogant, if they see Niu Yanghui's study layout magnificently, even if they dare not show it because of Niu Yanghui's position, but they must laugh at Niu Yanghui inside.

Mingzhu is not stupid, but she didn't understand what Yueyao meant.

Yue Yao couldn't help but ask: "You have been in Suzhou for so many years, what are you doing every day except for housework?"

Mingzhu didn't know why he said: "What else can you do, it's the same as in the capital!"

Yue Yao's voice suddenly became louder: "It's the same as in the capital?" What you say is tantamount to saying that you haven't changed in Suzhou for five years?" As far as Yueyao knows, in addition to handling housework and taking care of children in the capital, Mingzhu is only keen on three other things, the first is to go out to socialize, the second is to pay close attention to fashionable clothes and jewelry, and the third is to visit her house.

Mingzhu was startled: "What's the problem?" She's always been like this, what can change him, think, the only change is that she is much older.

Yueyao didn't know what to say.

Xiang Wei, who had not been silent, suddenly said: "It's not that he hasn't changed, when he was in the capital, the maids who served in Niu Yanghui's study were all young and beautiful, but now they have all been replaced by small maids, in the past, several maids around you were all first-class in appearance, now, there is no need to say that the talent, that appearance is worse than mine, in addition, as far as I know, Niu Yanghui is not fond of Aunt Gao, only occasionally go to listen to her talk about the piano, listen to music, basically do not sleep on Aunt Gao's side, but you often quarrel with Niu Yanghui for this. "Xiang Wei's appearance can only be regarded as delicate, and the appearance of the maid beside Mingzhu is not even as beautiful, so you can imagine how bad it is.

Xiang Wei felt that Mingzhu and Niu Yanghui had a quarrel like this, and the biggest problem was Mingzhu, and Mingzhu's various behaviors showed that she no longer trusted Niu Yanghui now. Once there is suspicion between husband and wife, a bad one will become a resentful couple.

Mingzhu's face was ugly: "What's wrong with me doing this?"

Xiang Wei interrupted Mingzhu's words: "You still don't think this is a problem?" You are already doing this to show that you don't trust Niu Yanghui now, and now it is fortunate that Niu Yanghui has a deep affection for you, and has done so many vexatious things to you and tolerated a lot, otherwise, you may have become a crazy woman. Mingzhu also did a lot of things, but Xiang Wei didn't say it.

After Yue Yao listened, she sighed heavily, Yue Yao was originally trying to persuade the beads, but now she changed her mind: "From tomorrow onwards, you will copy the scriptures with me." ”

Xiang Wei looked at Yue Yao suspiciously and said, "What does this have to do with copying scriptures?" Xiang Wei really didn't understand how it was about the relationship between Mingzhu and Niu Yanghui to the Buddhist scriptures.

Mingzhu is also a question.

Yue Yao held Mingzhu's hand and said: "I actually noticed that you were scared a long time ago, afraid that Niu Yanghui would empathize and fall in love with a young and beautiful girl, but I didn't know that you were so scared." After a pause, Yue Yao said, "I know that you care too much about Niu Yanghui, and you are afraid of losing him, so you will do those things." ”

Mingzhu hugged Yueyao, her nose was sour, so it was Yueyao who knew her best.

Yue Yao explained: "Your mind is not quiet now, and copying Buddhist scriptures can calm your mind. "In Mingzhu's current state, no matter what methods are useless, because those methods are all palliative, not curative.

Xiang Wei thinks that practicing calligraphy can also calm down.

Yue Yao shook her head and said, "Practicing calligraphy is not as effective as learning Buddhist scriptures." ”

If it were someone else, Mingzhu would definitely have to be measured, but she was blindly convinced by Yue Yao, so Yue Yao asked her to copy the scriptures, and she nodded without thinking about it: "Then from tomorrow onwards, I will go to your yard every morning and afternoon to copy the scriptures for an hour, what do you think?"

Xiang Wei made a suggestion, let Mingzhu go to the temple to invite a nun to come over to help explain the Buddhist scriptures, Xiang Wei made such a suggestion, but also felt that Mingzhu could not persevere, after all, those Buddhist scriptures are obscure, copying Buddhist scriptures is so boring, Mingzhu must not be able to stand it.

Yue Yao believed that Mingzhu could do it, but Xiang Wei was not wrong to worry: "Before you copy the scriptures, I will explain the scriptures to you first." ”

Mingzhu nodded and said, "Okay, then from tomorrow, I will start copying the scriptures." ”

Yue Yao thought for a moment and said, "Xiang Wei, starting tomorrow morning, you will teach Mingzhu to box!" If Mingzhu has a lot of things to do, it is estimated that he will not think about it anymore.

Xiang Wei smiled and said, "This is no problem, as long as she doesn't cry and cry tired." After speaking, he looked at Mingzhu with an unconvinced face and said: "Don't look at her boxing is easy now, when she first started learning, she hurt almost tears every day, and she was young at that time, and quickly adapted to it, you are now older, if you learn boxing, it will definitely be very painful for a period of time, if you can't bear the hardship, don't learn it as soon as possible."

Mingzhu gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I will insist." ”

After talking to Mingzhu, Yueyao and Xiang Wei went back to their yard, and on the way back, Xiang Wei couldn't help but say: "I really don't know if she is afraid, speaking of which, or you are amazing, I can see the problem at a glance." ”

Yue Yao shook her head and said, "That's something you haven't experienced, so you didn't expect it." ”

Xiang Wei pursed her lips and said, "As if you've experienced it?"

Yue Yao smiled and didn't speak again.

In the evening, Mingzhu came over, and Yueyao first explained the "Meditation Sutra" to Mingzhu, which is relatively short and easier to learn.

This explanation was half an hour, and after Mingzhu roughly understood, he copied the scriptures in the study, and Yueyao went to the studio to paint.

An hour later, Mingzhu came out of the study, and Xiao Nian, the maid beside Mingzhu, stepped forward and said, "Madam, the master is looking for you, go back quickly!"

Xiang Wei was drinking fish soup, and when she saw Mingzhu coming in, she said with a smile: "Yueyao is still painting in the studio, so you don't need to tell her!" I will be in your yard at three o'clock tomorrow, and I hope you will be up by then. ”

Mingzhu nodded.

Xiang Wei looked at Mingzhu's expression and muttered, "Could it be that copying scriptures is really so useful, it's only the first day, and it's amazing." If Mingzhu had heard her say this before, she would definitely refute her, but today she didn't.

As soon as Mingzhu entered the main courtyard, he saw the lights in the courtyard, Niu Yanghui heard the footsteps, and turned his head to see Mingzhu.

Mingzhu stepped forward with a smile and said, "Are you tired today?"

Niu Yanghui nodded and said, "I'm not tired, I don't have much to do, what about you?" Are you tired today, look at how tired you look?"

Mingzhu said with a smile: "I copied the scriptures for an hour, and my hands are a little sore. "I used to watch Yueyao practice words for one or two hours like no one else, but she almost died when she wrote an hour word.

Niu Yanghui's face showed a difference: "Copying scriptures?" Niu Yanghui thought that Mingzhu had been chatting with Yueyao? I didn't expect it to be copying scriptures.

Mingzhu never hid Niu Yanghui's affairs, and said at the moment: "Yueyao said that I have been in the wrong mood recently, and I am impetuous, let me copy the scriptures and calm down." After Mingzhu finished speaking, he couldn't help but raise his hand again.

Niu Yanghui has been practicing calligraphy since he was a child, and he didn't know that his hands would be sore after writing for a long time, so he said: "I'll give it to you." ”

Mingzhu was stunned, Niu Yanghui didn't give her a massage, but it was all in the capital, since he arrived in Suzhou, Niu Yanghui has been getting busier and busier, not to mention giving her a massage, even if she talks and chats on weekdays, it is very rare.

Niu Yanghui looked at Mingzhu's expression, his heart became more and more guilty, after Yueyao left, he also seriously reflected on himself in the study, he thought that he had been busy with official business in the past few years, and the time at home was getting less and less, and the time with Mingzhu was pitiful, maybe this is what made Mingzhu worry and scared.

Thinking of this, Niu Yanghui raised his head, just in time to see the two thin wrinkles at the corners of Mingzhu's eyes, his heart softened, and he hugged Mingzhu and said: "Mingzhu, I shouldn't have neglected you because of my busy official business, and it was my fault that you were uneasy." ”

Mingzhu's tears flowed out at once: "I also have something wrong ......", she couldn't say the next words.

On the other side, Xiang Wei entered the studio and interrupted Yueyao: "It's time to sleep." "I don't know when this painting will be completed, it's been working for days.

Xiang Wei asked when Yueyao was lying on the bed, "Why aren't you worried about An Zhichen?" Is there something I don't know?"

Yueyao glanced at Xiang Wei: "You are clairvoyant, there are still things you don't know, hurry back to your house and sleep." ”

Xiang Wei looked at Yue Yao, who had her back to her, and knew that Yue Yao would not tell her, there was no choice but to go back to her room.

In the middle of the night, Xiang Wei was woken up by a noise, Xiang Wei's heart sank, and she immediately rushed to Yueyao's house, fortunately, Yueyao was still sitting on the bed.

Gu You whispered, "Madame has a nightmare." ”

When Xiang Wei heard this, she hurriedly let everyone out, walked to Yueyao's side, and asked softly, "What kind of nightmare are you doing?" Looking at Yueyao's pale face and the beads of sweat dripping from her forehead, she knew that this dream was terrifying.

Yue Yao let out a sigh of relief: "I dreamed that An Zhichen was betrayed by his cronies, ......" An Zhichen died unexpectedly, and Yue Yao couldn't say it.

Xiang Wei was also frightened, if other people dreamed, or the dream was the opposite, and Yueyao was very weird, her dream would come true ten times out of ten.

Xiang Wei's mind turned for a moment, and he was relieved: "Now that you have this dream, we tell An Zhichen to let him beware of the people around him, and he will be fine." With Yueyao's warning, An Zhichen will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune.

Yue Yao nodded, and said after a while: "In addition, I also dreamed that there would be a drought in Jiangnan, you tell Hou Ye about this." "Yueyao did dream that An Zhichen was betrayed and then died, but she didn't dream of the drought in Jiangnan.

The drought in Jiangnan is something that happened in the previous life, Yueyao can know that it is still because of the drought in Jiangnan that the price of rice has risen, which has affected their livelihoods, they used to eat three meals a day in the nunnery, and she also has two plates of vegetarian dishes at each meal, but due to the drought, she can only drink gruel for three meals a day, which is still a bit of a foundation in their nunnery, otherwise they would not have to drink three meals of gruel.

Xiang Wei was taken aback, drought? Normal years are major events, not to mention that there is a war in the northwest now, and food and grass are needed, Xiang Wei hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will have someone send this news to the capital and the northwest early tomorrow morning." "Both things are important and you have to prevent them early.

Yue Yao said: "Don't worry too much, even if the drought in the south of the Yangtze River is next year, Master Hou wants to plan, and he is not in a hurry for half a day, if you lose your proportion, it will arouse suspicion." "She asked Xiang Wei to tell Jingninghou instead of Niu Yanghui about the drought, because Jingninghou knew that she had the ability to predict auspicious signs, and Jingninghou would definitely pay attention to it in the future.

Xiang Wei smiled and said, "You don't feel at ease when I act." ”

On the second day, Xiang Wei arrived at Mingzhu's courtyard on time, but when she arrived at the main courtyard, Xiang Wei only saw Niu Yanghui, not Mingzhu.

Niu Yanghui thought that Xiang Wei had something important, and when he heard Xiang Wei say that he was here to teach Mingzhu to learn boxing, Niu Yanghui smiled and said: "She hasn't gotten up yet, otherwise, it will be better to learn boxing in the morning." ”

Where does Xiang Wei still know why Mingzhu got up late! It must have been the husband and wife, so they reconciled, Xiang Wei smiled and agreed, and when she got out of the main courtyard, Xiang Wei went out directly.

When Yueyao finished lunch and ate in the courtyard, she saw Mingzhu, looked at Mingzhu's expression very happily, and asked with a smile, "Is there any happy event?"

Mingzhu looked a lot happier and said, "No, I just came to see you, and I'll go back to take a nap in a while." ”

Yueyao didn't know Mingzhu's temperament, and she was afraid that she wouldn't want to copy the scriptures again: "I tell you, I can't control it in the future, but if I live here for a day, I have to copy the scriptures for two hours every day, and not a minute less." ”

Mingzhu said with a bitter face: "It's okay to copy the scriptures, but can you not learn boxing!" Thinking of Xiang Wei's description, she felt terrified and retreated.

Yueyao didn't force Mingzhu to learn boxing, the main thing is that this doesn't have much impact, Mingzhu has a grandmother who knows how to cultivate her body, and Mingzhu's body Yueyao is never worried: "This is up to your own will." ”

Mingzhu was afraid of Xiang Wei's sneer: "Then you help me go and tell Xiang Wei, I will copy the scriptures in my yard in the future, but you are here." ”

As long as Yueyao doesn't give up halfway, it doesn't matter where she copies the scriptures.

When Xiang Wei came back in the afternoon, she shook her head with a smile and said, "I knew she couldn't stand this suffering." However, Xiang Wei expected that Mingzhu would not learn the second time after learning once, but she didn't expect Mingzhu to give up before she started learning.

Yueyao is concerned about another thing now: "The news has been sent?"

Xiang Wei nodded and said, "It's sent out." ”

Yueyao thought about it for a while, and decided to write a letter to An Zhichen herself, telling An Zhichen about her dream, and tactfully reminding An Zhichen.

Xiang Wei did not object, and the letter written by Yue Yao herself was more convincing: "There are quite a lot of medicinal materials in Jiangnan, we just bought some high-quality medicinal materials and sent them over." "Yue Yao sends clothes over every year, An Zhichen's clothes are enough to wear, this will be a war, it is better to send more medicinal herbs.

Yueyao felt that this was appropriate.
