Chapter Twenty-Six: Xiao Han's Affection
Yao Yanyu jumped down from Tao Yao with a beautiful turn, and smiled at Xiao Lin: "Xiao Hou Ye'an." ”
Xiao Lin was first amazed by Yao Yanyu's dismounting, then looked her up and down, and laughed: "Don't say it, this official robe looks good on you, like that." ”
Yao Yanyu smiled: "Hou Ye is making fun of me? ”
"Don't dare, it's true." Xiao Lin smiled happily: "It's a coincidence, I'll yujian you as soon as I come back." I'm still in a hurry to enter the palace here, and if things go well, Ming'er will go to the house to visit Brother Yao. ”
"My second brother has talked about it several times. Hou Ye was so busy that he didn't even reply to a letter. Yao Yanyu was very happy when she heard this, thinking about whether to make an appointment with Sister Han tonight, and then rest at home tomorrow.
"It's really busy. You don't know, I'm busy with my feet not touching the ground. Xiao Lin said with a smile.
The two of them only cared about talking, but they threw Yun Yao next to them aside as floating dust.
Yun Yao gritted her teeth angrily, looked down and saw her horsewhip, so she scolded the guard: "Eyeless dog!" Don't pick up the whip yet! ”
The guards stooped down to pick up the whip. Xiao Lin looked at it with a smile and sighed in surprise: "Oops! The county lord is really majestic! It's just that on this street, aren't you afraid to scare the world? In the future, no one will dare to come to the door to propose, but how can it be good? ”
"You!" Yun Yaoqi's eyes were red, the horsewhip in his hand pointed at Xiao Lin, and he gritted his teeth and scolded: "You bastard, looking for death!" ”
Xiao Lin looked at Yun Yao with a smile, not angry at all, but asked with great interest: "Oh? Looking for death? It was not enough for the county lord to whip innocent people on the street before, should he still be whipped on the street to the court officials? I really don't know who gave the county lord such a big courage. ”
Yun Yao's momentum suddenly weakened.
It's true that she is rude and unreasonable, but she still knows some big truths. The last time the people were whipped, they all alarmed the Yushitai, and those shameless sour and rotten literati all participated in their fathers, kings, and daughters, and regarded human life as a cloud.
If he smoked Jinghaihou on the street again this time, the consequences would be unimaginable. So she gritted her teeth, snorted, and turned her head to order the guards: "Let's go!" ”
The guards were eager for this, so they immediately agreed, turned around and arched their hands towards Xiao Lin, and then left in a hurry.
Xiao Lin looked at the back of Yun Yao riding away, and snorted coldly: "Prince Cheng is famous, why did he raise such a daughter?" ”
Yao Yanyu sighed helplessly: "Now you can offend her ruthlessly." This person will be retribution, Master Hou, you have to be careful. ”
"What's this? Anyway, I was offended a long time ago, and this one is not bad. Xiao Lin smiled nonchalantly, and said, "It's getting colder and colder, you should go back quickly." I was also in a hurry to enter the palace. The emperor is still waiting. ”
"Okay, then you can go quickly. See you later. Yao Yanyu didn't say much kind words.
Xiao Lin nodded, pulled the horse over and turned over, and rode away. Yao Yanyu couldn't help but smile as she watched this person's delicate and handsome back disappear into the twilight. Well, Sister Han's good thing seems to be near.
Xiao Lin returned to Beijing this time on order. Before the emperor was assassinated, he asked someone to send the small bow and crossbow to Xiao Lin.
In fact, the main purpose of the emperor to let Xiao Lin serve as the salt and iron envoy was not salt, but iron.
In this era of cold weapon warfare, iron ore excavation and iron casting industry are directly involved in the strength of national defense, without haode weapons, no matter how brave the soldier is, he is a tiger with his teeth pulled out, and he only has a life waiting to be slaughtered.
After receiving the small bow and crossbow sent by the emperor, Xiao Lin tried his best to find an old craftsman from a cast iron family, and after repeated shiyan, he finally found that it was fired in a furnace at a higher temperature, carefully refined, and the carbon content of the iron ore juice was reduced, and it could be cast into a harder and stronger, even elastic, and forgeable steel.
And this small bow and crossbow is made of stainless steel.
After that, Xiao Lin asked someone to renovate the furnace overnight, forging stainless steel according to the new jishu, and finding skilled craftsmen to disassemble this small bow and crossbow and carefully study and transform, and forged 200 steel crossbows and crossbows that were more delicate and more secretive, and could be used with one hand and fired ten delicate arrows in a row.
When he entered Beijing this time, he personally showed the emperor this new type of stainless steel crossbow.
In addition, Yao Yuanzhi received the emperor's order to transfer grain and grass, and called a large number of grain and grass ships in the grain depot in Liangjiang to transport them north, which was also escorted by Xiao Lin.
Yao Yanyu didn't know about this matter, but Yao Yuanzhi and Xiao Lin, who were far away in the south of the Yangtze River, had already realized it. I am afraid that the war situation in the north has reached a stalemate, otherwise the emperor would not have called for so much grain and grass to go north, and he would not be so anxious to ask for new weapons.
But he said that Yao Yanyu came home, and as soon as he entered the door, it happened that Yujian Yao Yanyi had just come back from outside.
Second Master Yao couldn't help but look at his sister seriously, and said with a smile: "Look at you like this, what's so happy?" ”
"Second brother, Marquis Xiao has come to Beijing!" Yao Yanyu smiled happily: "I was on the street just now." ”
"Really?" Yao Yanyi was also happy, "Great." Did he bring a letter from his father? ”
"He has now gone into the palace to face the saint, and said that he will come to the house if he has time to come tomorrow. I'm not going to the hospital tomorrow, brother, will you take a leave of absence? ”
"Hmm." Yao Yanyi nodded, Xiao Lin is no better than others, since the same boat went south that day, the two talked day and night, and later he worked in Jiangnan to do things, and he had many contacts with his father, and the relationship between the two families has become closer and closer, and now it is not an exaggeration to say that they are close friends.
So Yao Erye instructed Yao Sixi beside him: "Go and talk to the kitchen, prepare some haode ingredients, and there will be guests at home tomorrow." ”
Yao Sixi hurriedly bowed and agreed: "Yes." It just so happened that yesterday, the second son of the Guogong Mansion asked someone to send a bear paw, and the servant asked the kitchen to stew it early in the morning? ”
"Well, that's good." Second Master Yao nodded with satisfaction.
Yao Yanyu added: "Prepare more, the second girl of the Guogong Mansion will also come, maybe their second son will also come." ”
"Yes, the minion understood." Yao Sixi hurriedly agreed and went to the kitchen.
That night, the county lord of Yunyao was humiliated on the street, and when he returned home, he wanted to sue his mother.
Princess Cheng has been reprimanded and scared by Prince Cheng these days, and for several months, the prince has not come to her house to eat, let alone rest. It's been at the Li family's slut all day long, and Yun Mei's clothes are gradually similar to Yun Yao's for a while!
Princess Cheng had a hard time, and every time she introspected, she knew that her daughter had done too much and provoked the prince. So without waiting for Yun Yao to finish speaking, he frowned and said, "You are not too young, you are not allowed to ride a horse on the street in the future." There is no respect for the daughter's family. ”
"Mother?" Yun Yao was stunned, "Do you want to lock up your daughter too?" ”
Princess Cheng sighed helplessly: "Why do I want to lock you up? It's just that you can't go on like this! Your father doesn't like you like this, and it doesn't do you any good. During these days, you have to take care of me, it's okay to read books and practice calligraphy at home, play the piano and play chess. ”
"It's so stuffy at home, there's no one to accompany me!" Yun Yao snorted with a flat mouth, and said, "That Xiao Lin is too much!" Why did he ......?"
Princess Cheng didn't wait for her daughter to finish, so she interrupted her: "Okay! Don't talk about that. Now that the war in the north is unstable, your father has a cold face every day, if you make him angry again, this cold day will send you to Zhuangzi, and you will have unbearable sins. ”
Yun Yao immediately collapsed her face, pouted and leaned on the couch without speaking.
Princess Cheng felt distressed when she saw it, so she said: "The black chrysanthemum and green chrysanthemum at home are blooming just right, why don't you invite the girls from all provinces to come to the house to gather at home in the next post, talk with you, and scatter your heart." ”
Yun Yao muttered in displeasure: "I'm impatient to talk to those people." All of them are holding shelves, so boring. ”
Princess Cheng sighed: "You can't say that, those girls from the Wenchen family always love to hold it, but this is also their strength." By the way, the former queen asked someone to send a few girls' Geng posts, saying that we should pick one and set a family affair for your brother. You just used this excuse to invite all these girls to help your brother look at each other, no matter what, you have to choose a sister-in-law who is compatible with you. In the future, without me, you will still have someone to help. ”
When Yun Yao heard this, she couldn't help but laugh again: "It's really interesting for the mother concubine to speak, this is to choose a daughter-in-law for my brother, not to pick a brother to fit into, but what must I do?" I don't live with my sister-in-law for the rest of my life. In the future, it would be good to have my brother to protect me. ”
"Your brother's man with closed eyes? Hmph, people are already talking to others about marriage now! Princess Cheng was not happy when she talked about this, and it is natural for parents in this world to plan for their children. At the beginning, she didn't look down on Mingcan's girl, her son was good-looking, and he was the son of the palace, so she couldn't pick a disfigured daughter-in-law.
But then the scar on the girl's face disappeared, and she was quite happy, thinking that this time she could always fulfill her son's wish, marry the girl into the door, and save her mother and son from resentment in the future. Who knows, that girl suddenly changed her mind! And he also fought for his quasi-son-in-law! It's really hateful to have a good marriage for a son and a daughter.
Yun Yao also sneered faintly: "If the mother concubine didn't dislike her at the beginning, it would be good to settle the marriage earlier." ”
"You kid! How do you speak? Would you like your brother to find a disfigured woman? You can't bear it, but I don't want to! Princess Cheng snorted displeasedly, "It would be nice if the daughter of the Yao family could come to the capital a few years earlier." I had healed the scar on her face earlier, and I wouldn't have had to worry about it! ”
Yun Yao sighed: "Who is not an immortal, where can I know five hundred years in advance and five hundred years later?" ”
While the mother and daughter were talking, a maid came in outside and replied, "Back to the princess, the princess is back." ”
"Oh? What about people? Princess Cheng turned her head and asked.
"Back to the princess, the prince went to Lingxiao Pavilion." Lingxiao Pavilion is the courtyard where King Cheng's concubine Li lived, and Li's daughter Yunmei also lived there.
"Then you're full and come in and come back to this?!" Princess Cheng scolded angrily.
The maid blessed her body and didn't dare to say it again.
"That's it! Let's all go down. Yun Yao waved her hand, and after the maid who replied stepped back, Fang picked up the teacup and handed it to Princess Cheng, "Mother concubine, let's dissipate your anger, why bother with being like a slut." ”
Princess Cheng snorted and didn't speak.
It stands to reason that she doesn't have to worry about being a slut as a princess, but ...... The princess is also a woman!
*
When she came back in the evening, Du Sanniang found a vacancy and entered Yao Yanyu's house, and asked Yao Yanyu how she pinched the county lord Yunyao on the street during the day, and saw that she didn't look like she was pretending.
Yao Yanyu remembered this stubble and said in surprise: "It's strange to say, in that situation at that time, I didn't have time to react, I reached out and grabbed her, and then she screamed and threw the whip." ”
"It's weird." Du Sanniang said suspiciously.
"yes. Maybe she's pretending. Yao Yan snorted disdainfully.
Du Sanniang nodded, remembering that the guard also said that the county lord of Yunyao was not injured, so she thought that maybe it was really pretending.
On the second day, Yao Yanyu did not go to the hospital, but asked people to take a leave of absence from the hospital, saying that there was an old person visiting and taking a day off. Then he found a plum blossom note, learned from those literati to write chewing words, and invited Han Mingcan to come to his house as a guest.
After thinking about it, he wrote another post to Su Yuxing, saying that he was resting at home today, and asked Sister Su to come over and talk about it.
Han Mingcan was originally at home, Yao Yanyu wrote a post to invite, and she was naturally happy to come. It's just that I didn't know that Xiao Lin would also come.
Originally, her parents were worried about her marriage with Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin's father was gone, and his grandfather was still there, so the Han family and the Xiao family naturally wanted to find Emperor Xiao. After Xiao Lin entered Beijing, he naturally handed over a post like the Guogong Mansion, but he was scheduled to see him tomorrow.
So as soon as Han Mingcan entered the door of Yao's house, he saw a little guy with a familiar face, thought about it carefully, and remembered that this little guy was Xiao Lin's entourage, and couldn't help but look at it twice in surprise.
The little guy didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly took two steps forward and bowed to salute: "Slave Xiao Yi to the girl to say goodbye." ”
Han Mingcan nodded and asked the little guy to retreat, and asked Mama Feng, who came out to greet her: "There are still guests from the house?" ”
Mama Feng replied with a smile: "Back to the girl, Marquis Xiao came early in the morning, and our master has a book to trust him to bring to the second master." ”
"Yan Yu, this dead girl, actually hid it from me." Han Mingcan scolded with a smile, and said, "I said, I was reluctant to go to the hospital today, and sent someone to pick me up." It has no other intentions! See how I clean her up. ”
Mama Feng smiled: "It's also a loss, our girl has been going to the hospital every day for a while, and everyone has lost a lot of weight." The minions didn't dare to persuade when they looked distressed, and the girl had to persuade them later. ”
Han Mingcan sighed again when he heard this: "She has such a temper!" Who can persuade that? Unless General Wei is pulled back from the battlefield. ”
Mama Feng and a few maids all laughed.
A few people turned around a verandah, Han Mingcan suddenly felt a little strange, so he couldn't help but stop and look to the side, but saw Xiao Lin, who was wearing a royal blue brocade robe, standing under the eaves of the opposite corridor and looking this way.
This person is really handsome, but his appearance is as warm as jade, but with a sense of pride, like the bright moon in the West Mountain, clear and restrained but vigorous undercurrent. Han Mingcan's heart throbbed inexplicably, he hurriedly withdrew his gaze and quickened his pace, and went to the backyard without squinting.
Yao Yanyu finally resumed her daughter's outfit today, she had been wearing men's clothes for a long time, and when she suddenly changed back into her daughter's clothes, she was a little uncomfortable. Seeing Han Mingcan happily stepping forward to call his sister, he felt a little awkward.
"Alright! We haven't seen each other for a few days, and we make these false gifts when we meet. Han Mingcan grabbed Yao Yanyu, and the two of them entered the house hand in hand.
The weather was cold, and the kang had already burned in the house, and the maid stepped forward to take off the cloak on Han Mingcan's body and hang it on the hanger, Han Mingcan handed over the hand stove mink gloves to Shu Ying, and took off the lambskin boots on his feet and replaced them with the embroidered cotton shoes handed over by Mai Dong and swayed on the kang.
Miss Han leaned comfortably on the big pillow and said with a smile: "I just said that you called someone to pick me up early in the morning, and now that I'm here, hurry up and bring all the delicious and fun things." ”
Yao Yanyu lay on the small kang table, picked up a piece of preserved fruit from the fruit saucer and handed it over: "Oh, this is delicious." ”
"I don't eat sweet." Han Mingcan said with a smile.
"It's sour." Yao Yanyu handed the preserved fruit directly to her mouth.
Han Mingcan smiled and ate it, it turned out to be kiwi preserved fruit, and the sweet and sour taste was not bad.
Yao Yanyu smiled and said, "Look at how good I am, I serve my sister to eat with my own hands." In the future, if my brother-in-law does not serve like this, my sister will not let her enter the door and let him sleep under the eaves. ”
"What a shameless girl!" Han Mingcan smiled and stretched out his hand to twist Yao Yanyu's face, "You can say such things, I will ask someone to learn from General Wei when I go back." ”
"Sister, even if you go, am I still scared?" Yao Yanyu smiled, took the preserved fruit and continued to feed Han Mingcan.
Han Mingcan slapped her hand away: "Go, eat your own, I have hands." Saying that, she picked up a few pine nuts herself, twisted the skins, and put them in her mouth one by one, "Besides, you are an official of the imperial court, the title of the fifth grade, and I am a common man, where do you dare to work adults?" I think only the general of the third product is worthy of it. ”
The girls in the room burst into laughter.
"I hear it." Yao Yanyu's face flushed with a hint of blush, and she was still not to be outdone, and teased back: "But this can't be helped, where can I compare to the hereditary second wait." ”
The girls laughed more and more presumptuously, and Mama Feng also laughed: "The girls are really amazing, and no one will spare anyone." ”
"Why are you smiling so happily? Let me have fun, too. Ning stepped into the room with a grin.
Han Mingcan saw that Ning was busy getting off the kang, but was pulled by Ning: "Okay, the girl is so polite to me." ”
"What a rudeness." Han Mingcan smiled apologetically.
"Speaking of faux pas, the girl is a distinguished guest, and I haven't greeted her, isn't it also rude?" Ning said with a smile, "My sister is good friends with Yan Yu, and in my heart she is like my own sister, I don't have so much courtesy, and my sister is not strange." ”
"Sister-in-law said this! I wish there were more people who would love me. Han Mingcan said with a smile: "In the future, I will come often and treat this place as my home." Sister-in-law is not allowed to dislike me for being noisy. ”
Ning smiled: "My sister is free, even if I come, I want my sister to live at home for a long time!" In this way, there is also someone to talk to as a companion on weekdays, and the eldest princess is not allowed. ”
There was another voice outside, and someone asked the second sister what she was doing, but it was Su Yuyu who came.
Yao Yanyu hurriedly got up and went out of the kang, pulled her into the door, and said with a smile: "Your shelf is getting bigger and bigger, so let us wait for half a day." ”
Su Yuxuan saw that Han Mingcan was also there, so she was even more happy, and before she could take off her cloak, she stepped forward and blessed Han Mingcan, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to my sister." ”
Han Mingcan blushed again, and said, "Phew, you're getting worse and worse, you can't learn it well just by following Yan Yu." ”
A few people talked and laughed for a while, and then a maid came in and replied: "The banquet is ready, please grandma and girls to show me, which side is it on?" ”
Yao Yanyu asked, "What about the second brother in front?" ”
"Back to the girl, where is the second master drinking tea. Said to listen to the girl's side. ”
Yao Yanyu and Ning glanced at each other, and Ning smiled and said, "Then put it in the West Flower Hall." As he spoke, he smiled with Han Mingcan: "The girl sits first, I'll go and take a look, I'm afraid that these people will be inappropriate." ”
Han Mingcan smiled and nodded, and said that his sister-in-law was bothered.
The West Flower Hall is inside and outside, and the women's seats are placed in the warm pavilion inside, and the men are on the round table outside.
When the banquet was held, Yao Yanyu knew that Su Yuyu did not come alone, and there was actually Su Guangyu's sister-in-law Su Yukang who came with her. Counting Su Yukang is one year older than Su Yuxin, he can be regarded as her serious brother-in-law, and it is only right for Su Yuxin to go out and be accompanied by her brother.
It's just that the post sent was written by Yao Yanyu! This is purely a gathering at the daughter's house, why did the second wife of the Su family send her son too? If my brother is not at home today, what should I do if the little son of the Su family comes?
Su Yuyu Bingxue was smart, so she naturally saw a trace of surprise on Yao Yanyu's face when she saw Su Yukang, so she blushed, held Yao Yanyu's hand and whispered: "Mother said that it was inconvenient for me to go out of a girl's house, so I asked my brother to send me over." ”
In fact, the second wife of the Su family thought that her son had grown up in the south since he was a child, and he was not familiar with these sons and brothers in the capital, and now the big house is not going out to walk around on the grounds of filial piety, and the three masters of the big house are all grown up in the capital, and the three young grandmothers have two maiden families who are Beijing officials, and the other brother and sister are also capable, so they are naturally not afraid. But the second room is obviously thinner.
If his son doesn't quickly get acquainted with these sons and brothers in the capital, I'm afraid that the people in the second room won't even have a place to stand in this Hou Mansion. Therefore, the second wife took advantage of Yao Yanyu's invitation to Su Yuyu and sent her son Su Yukang as well, the purpose of which was to have a good relationship with the Yao family in the future.
Han Mingcan guessed this truth without thinking about it, so he smiled and said: "This is also common sense, and the second wife is also afraid that her subordinates will not be able to take care of it." If it weren't for my second brother's trouble, he would definitely come with me today. ”
Yao Yan smiled busily: "A family of relatives should be moving around from time to time." My brother didn't dare to invite the fourth son over because he was afraid that it would be inconvenient for you. ”
Ning Shi 'hi' and sighed: "This was my negligence, I should have asked the second wife of the house to come over and sit down a long time ago, but there have been many things at home, and I haven't been able to get away." ”
Everyone said this, and the embarrassment on Su Yuxuan's face was wiped away.
Everyone sat down with a smile, and outside, Yao Yanyi, Xiao Lin, and Su Yukang also raised their wine glasses.
"Su Sishao is here for the first time today, I'll toast you first." Yao Yanyi said with a smile like Su Yukang.
"I don't dare to do it. I should have come to visit Lord Yao a long time ago, but I was filial to my family, and it was not easy to move around. I hope Lord Yao will forgive me. Sixteen-year-old Su Yukang is a jade-faced little Langjun, his eyebrows and eyes have not yet grown, he has a good appearance of pink carving, and his voice has a thick southern accent, but it makes Yao Yanyi sound a little kind.
"You're welcome!" Yao Yanyi had a good impression of Su Yukang, a young man, so he smiled and said: "Su Yao's family is in-law, you are Yue'er's uncle, I am Yue'er's uncle, let's break the bones and connect the tendons." It's too foreign to say that. I will come when I have time later. ”
Xiao Lin and Yao Yanyi have a much closer relationship, and it is obviously not polite at this time. Then he took a wine glass and smiled at Su Yukang: "Master Su, come, do it." ”
Su Yukang knew that this was a hereditary second waiter, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly clinked glasses with Xiao Lin, and then happily dried the wine in the cup.
"Well done." Xiao Lin praised with a smile.
"Kang Wuzhi, let Hou Ye smile." Su Yukang has not reached the weak crown, and there is no expression yet.
Hearing the happy conversation outside, Su Yuxin gradually relaxed.
Han Mingcan picked up the vegetables for her, and asked again: "Did your two sisters go back?" ”
Su Yuxuan nodded and responded, "I've already gone back." The eldest sister left early, and I'm afraid she has already arrived in Jiangning at this time. The second sister left the day before yesterday. She doesn't like the cold weather in the capital. ”
Ning said, "Don't say it, I don't like it either." The winter in this capital is dry and cold, which is really unbearable. ”
Han Mingcan said with a smile: "I just like the capital, if it snows in a few days, the lake will be frozen, and you can go to ice frolicking." Not in the south. ”
Su Yuxuan laughed: "I also like ice play, but it's a pity that it wasn't cold enough last year, and the ice on the lake was not strong enough, so I didn't dare to play." ”
Ning Shi was also interested when he heard this, because he smiled and said, "I have heard of it a long time ago, but I didn't have the opportunity to see it." If you have a chance this year, go and see how you play. ”
As a high-tech researcher, Yao Yanyu is insensitive to all action games, just as if she didn't hear it, and eats by herself.
Han Mingcan pushed her and asked, "Why don't you speak?" ”
Yao Yanyu slowly gnawed on the chicken feet: "What did you say?" Say Ice Hip? I can't play around. ”
Miss Han immediately grabbed Bai and said: "You didn't know how to ride a horse before, how did I hear that you ride a horse every day when you go to the hospital now?" It's such a cold day, and you're not afraid of freezing. ”
"I'm not...... I love horseback riding. "Every time I ride on a horse, it's like having him by my side, and I don't feel lonely when I walk all the way.
But when it comes to cold, it seems that it is time for more frostbite cream. I don't know how cold it is in Naganzhou, those soldiers...... Will it get frostbite? [Ahem, speaking of Yao Zhubo, do you really care about the soldiers on the frontier, or do you only care about someone? 】
Looking at someone who was gnawing on chicken feet stupidly looking at the bones of the light rod, Han Mingcan pursed his lips and held back a laugh, and glanced at Su Yuxuan.
Su Yuxuan looked over and raised her hand to cover her mouth before laughing.
Ning was originally feeding his daughter, but because he heard that the two of them were silent, he also turned his head to look, because he saw Yao Yanyu biting the smooth chicken bones and not moving, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "What is this thinking about that you are fascinated by?" ”
Yao Yanyu didn't hear it, but Su Yuyu couldn't help but raise her hand and push her, before she suddenly came back to her senses, because she asked, "What?" ”
Han Mingcan, Su Yuxuan, and the Ning clan and the maids in the room all laughed.
"Look, what a fool!" Su Yuxuan smiled: "What do you want to be so fascinated? But all the thoughts went to Saibei? ”
Yao Yanyu chuckled and shook her head, and sighed, "I'm thinking, what should I use with some chilblain cream, so that your little hands don't get frostbitten and have no medicinal use." ”
"That's a good thing." Han Mingcan hurriedly said: "My father got frostbite on his feet in his early years because of leading soldiers to fight, and then he relapsed every year if he accidentally relapsed, but he died of sorrow. If you can have good medicine, you must remember to give me some. Big brother also has it on his feet, but I wiped it with the wound medicine you gave me last year, and this summer I said there was no itch. I don't know if it's relapsed now. ”
Su Yuxuan sighed and said, "Speaking of which, these generals are outside all the year round, and no one is immune to these diseases. ”
Han Mingcan suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly turned his head to look at Yao Yanyu, and chuckled: "Dare to say that one of your hearts didn't run to Saibei?" How do you think about chilblains? ”
"Oops, don't make a noise. I just thought of a two-flavor medicine. Yao Yanyu cheekily diverted the topic, and instructed Mai Dong next to him: "Go and get my pen and paper, I'll write it down quickly, don't look back and forget." ”
Han Mingcan helplessly clicked on Lord Yao's thin forehead and sighed, "What a doctor." ”
Inside, Yao Yanyu and others all thought of the war in Northern Xinjiang, and outside Yao Erye and Xiao Houye also talked about it.
There is no way, the war in the north involves Wei Zhang, and Wei Zhang is involved in his own sister, Yao Erye now has half of his heart in this unconscious sister, and when he speaks, he naturally turns here. In fact, since the beginning of the Northern Expedition, Yao Erye has been paying attention to this matter all the time, and he has never let go of any news.
"The weather is getting colder and colder, and the battle in the north is not easy to fight." Second Master Yao sighed deeply.
Xiao Lin also sighed and said, "What I said is that those Hu people and Gaoli people live in bitter cold places all year round, and they have long been accustomed to the cold. And our generals and soldiers of Dayun can't stand this snowy day. It's a really hard battle. ”
Su Yukang blinked, looked at Yao Yanyi and then at Xiao Lin, and asked curiously: "I heard that 50,000 elite soldiers were not mobilized from Jinzhou in this war?" The climate in Jinzhou is also very cold, and those soldiers are stationed there all the year round, so they must be able to adapt to this bitter cold weather, right? ”
Yao Yanyi sighed: "What the fourth prince said is good. It's just that it's only 50,000 soldiers. The other 100,000 soldiers and horses were mobilized near the capital. ”
Xiao Lin muttered: "But don't worry too much, didn't Grandpa Guo's soldiers just win the battle in Western Xinjiang?" After recuperating for a year, it's time to pull it out and sharpen it. ”
"In war, food and grass are a big deal." Su Yukang's little son said matter-of-factly, "I heard that Ganzhou was captured by the Hu people before, and the grain and grass were lost. Now there are not only 150,000 soldiers and horses, but also the people of a state, if there is not enough food and grass, it is really difficult to do. ”
"That's a good point." Xiao Lin looked at Su Yukang with a smile, "The fourth prince is interested in military affairs? ”
Su Yukang's face was slightly red, and he was very shy: "No, I just happened to read a few books in my father's study, and after reading them, I talked casually, and Hou Ye smiled." ”
"The fourth son is too modest." Xiao Lin raised his glass and said with a smile: "In my opinion, the fourth prince will have a great deal in the future, come, let's have another drink." ”
"Thank you for your love." Su Yukang hurriedly raised his wine glass and touched Xiao Lin, he was indeed very happy today, and he drank a lot of wine. But it is also a great blessing to be able to sit and talk with someone like Xiao Houye, the so-called wine confidant, which is also the feeling.
Everyone felt a lot of emotion in their hearts, so the wine was not controlled.
It didn't take long for me to get a little drunk.
Xiao Lin drank a few more glasses of wine and a lot of tea, so he whispered a 'faux pas' to Yao Yanyi and got up to change clothes. Yao Yanyi was inconvenient to leave the guests to accompany him because Su Yukang was here, so he called Shen Jiang, who was waiting outside, and told him to take Xiao Houye out.
When Xiao Lin came back, he saw Han Mingcan wrapped in a rose-purple brocade cloak standing under the eaves of the corridor to tease the emerald feather thrush, and Shuying next to him was holding a small saucer in his hand, and in the saucer was a gourd melon seed.
Miss Han pinched a melon seed and fed it patiently, and the thrush didn't appreciate it, just chirping, but didn't come to peck. The angry Han girl scolded it with a smile: "Stupid bird, I don't recognize what I eat." ”
"It's a stupid bird indeed." Xiao Lin said with a smile. I don't even recognize my beloved girl's feeding, this bird is not only stupid, but also stupid.
Han Mingcan looked back and saw him, a hint of shyness appeared in the corners of his eyes, but he was still blessed generously: "I've seen Master Hou." ”
"Hmm." Xiao Lin looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and was very satisfied.
In Jiangnan these days, he thinks about her all the time, but everything Yujian has fun to put away for her to keep.
Later, a letter came from the family saying that he was going to marry him, and it was the second daughter of Zhenguo Gong, and he was so happy that he didn't sleep all night, and then he went crazy to a goldsmith's house and made a pair of shrimp bracelets with his own hands.
Although his skills were very poor, and his fingers were swollen and did not recover for several days, he was still very happy.
Han Mingcan looked at the person who was originally full of energy and looked like he was stupid, and couldn't help but be amused and distressed, so he persuaded: "Master Hou has eaten wine, don't stand in the wind, go in quickly." ”
"Okay." Xiao Lin agreed, but he didn't move, and said again after a while: "I brought you some things to play with, and I have already asked someone to send them to the house early this morning." ”
Han Mingcan came out of the Eldest Princess's Mansion and hadn't seen anything yet, but he also nodded and smiled, "Xiexie." ”
"Don't say that to me." Xiao Lin looked at her with a smile, reluctant to look away, and was full of words and didn't know what to say, and felt that at this moment, there was no need to say, and it was superfluous to say anything.
In the delicate courtyard, the warm sun shrouded, she stood in front of her beautifully, with a gentle bird cry in her ears, and a big girl with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes stood behind her. Such a scene actually made him think of four words: the years are quiet.
Han Mingcan glanced back at the door of the house, the little maid was waiting there to open the curtains, the people in the yard were all safe, no one looked this way, the sun was still warm in early winter, and a few pots of chrysanthemums in the yard were still trying to bloom the delicate beauty.
Everything was normal, but she still felt embarrassed, so she whispered: "Then you can go in quickly." ”
"Okay." Xiao Lin nodded, and finally took a step inside, took two steps and zhanzhu, turned around and smiled: "Among the things I gave you, there is a mahogany box, and the things in it are made by myself, don't dislike it." ”
Miss Han finally couldn't help blushing, glared at him, and turned away.
Marquis Xiao finally smiled with satisfaction, turned around and entered the house.
That night, when Miss Han returned home, someone brought in two large boxes. Shuying asked what it was, and the mother-in-law who brought it in replied: "The second son said that someone specially sent gadgets to the girl from Jiangnan." So saying, he presented two more bronze keys.
Shuying immediately understood, took the key, glanced at the box and sent the person out.
Han Mingcan walked closer and looked at the two big boxes, and asked funny: "I don't know what kind of messy thing it is, but I actually got such two big boxes." ”
Shuying smiled: "Open it and take a look?" So saying, he pinched the key and walked over, crouched down and opened the brass lock on the brass screw.
"Oops!" Seeing the contents of the box, Shu Ying couldn't help laughing: "Master Hou really took a lot of effort. ”
In the box, there is a complete set of small tea sets carved by bamboo roots, wine sets, and some folk embroidery, which are not exquisite, nor are they embroidered by silk and satin threads, but they are simple and funny, and there are dozens of large and small tubes of purple hair, and all kinds of jade pen tubes are finely carved, and they are from the hands of famous artists at a glance.
Shu Ying took out a chessboard made of whole bamboo boards from this pile of objects, accompanied by the chess pieces and the topaz and black jade chess pieces, she looked left and right and sighed: "I really don't know how thick bamboo can be used to polish this chessboard with a whole piece." ”
Han Mingcan looked at the contents of this box and found that there was no mahogany box, so he pointed to the other box and instructed Shuying: "Open this too." ”
Shuying hurriedly put down the chessboard and took another key to unlock it.
There were a lot of books in this box, Han Mingcan took one at random and flipped through it, it was actually a chess book.
He actually knew he liked this! Han Mingcan flipped through it with a smile and found that this was actually a set of ancient scores that he had been looking for for a long time. So I liked it even more.
Shuying finally flipped over a mahogany box, and hurriedly took it out and held it up in front of Han Mingcan's eyes: "Girl, isn't this it?" ”
Han Mingcan put down the chess game, took the box and looked at it, and said with a smile: "It should be it." As she spoke, she flicked the button on the snail, and the box popped open.
Shuying glanced at the contents and immediately rejoiced: "What is this!" It's a gold bracelet, right? This workmanship ...... "too rough, right?" No matter how you look at it, it's not that kind of unpretentious object, is it? Who is idle and has nothing to do to make a piece of gold so bad?
Han Mingcan took the two bracelets in his hand and looked at them over and over, couldn't help laughing, and glanced at Shuying, who was covering his mouth and snickering, and said angrily: "Still laughing!" Pack it all up. It's a mess! ”
