Chapter 276: The Envoy from Chang'an (2)

Fu Yanyan almost stepped on the point of closing the workshop and returned home. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info came back so early, and the wind spirit was a little surprised. stepped forward to greet him and didn't smell the slightest bit of wine, so he became more and more surprised.

"Who is this coming?" She could see at a glance that Fu Yanyan was full of thoughts, and after a moment of hesitation in her mouth, she still asked. asked a little weakly, she knew that she shouldn't have been involved in political affairs, but she couldn't be down-to-earth if she didn't ask.

"Tobe...... It was the former Ministry of Civil Affairs that sent people to count and raise grain and grass. ”

The soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first. With just this sentence, Feng Ling understood, "The imperial court wants to use troops to the western frontier?" ”

Fu Yanyan nodded his head: "I'm afraid that eight or nine will not leave ten." ”

She suddenly felt her heart tremble, and she had been in Xizhou for seven years, and sent three rounds of soldiers, all of whom were Xizhou soldiers and soldiers from the nearby military government. This time, Chang'an sent people to rectify the grain and grass, and there is a tendency for the army to overwhelm the territory, that is, the big war is imminent.

"I was originally ordered to return to Beijing after the New Year's Festival, so I postponed it for the time being, and I will return with the army after the war." Fu Yanyan's eyes fell on her belly: "According to this situation, I am afraid that you and I will not be able to go together." In this way, you will stay in Xizhou to give birth with peace of mind, and after only a year and a half, I will order someone to pick up your mother and son. If you can't take care of it, then I'll take it to Chang'an first. ”

The wind spirit is secretly worried, and now there are few things that have been changed in the court, and the things that are said today are not known tomorrow, and these plans may be empty. She nodded hurriedly, not wanting to say much about it, but instead talked about the naughty anecdote of the evening.

In the next few days, Feng Ling took a slight turn in the market, and those rice and grain shops that were supposed to be close to the end of the year really reopened, and a few of the larger ones were even tighter, and the chief stewards were all staring at the store. Overnight, rice and grain became the fastest circulating commodity in Western Xinjiang, and anyone could smell the irony smell before the war.

At noon, the smell of meat overflowed in the street restaurants, and the sesame seeds on the Hu cakes that had just come out of the pit stove were roasted, and the fragrance permeated the small half of the street, and soon suppressed the smell of iron knives and soldiers on the street. Feng Ling did not leave home for two days due to the delay, and it was very boring for one person to eat at home, so he and Xingye had lunch at a street restaurant and then went back to Luoshuifang.

The restaurant is the most beautiful one in Jiaohe City, the wind spirit belly appears, it is not very convenient, and the apricot leaves called the little maid to come over to ask for a compartment. The little maid hesitated, pointed upstairs, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry for this lady, there is a big banquet guest from Chang'an today, and almost all the compartments upstairs are occupied, if the lady doesn't dislike it, it's the same for the downstairs guest house." ”

Xingye was still about to refute, but Feng Ling was willing first: "It's okay, just use a meal, just find a quiet place to sit." ”

The little guy answered with a smile and set up a seat.

"Lady, just now he said that the big man from Chang'an, I'm afraid it's the one sent by the household department to control the grain and grass?" The seat arranged by the servant was facing the wooden ladder upstairs, and after taking a seat, Xingye glanced upstairs and asked quietly.

Feng Ling followed her gaze to the top of the wooden ladder and froze for a moment: "Left and right have nothing to do with us, no matter who he is." ”

Xingye knew in her heart that she didn't want to go back to Chang'an, and she didn't feel sorry for herself, she was depressed for a while, seeing that the happy and comfortable days in Xizhou were getting fewer and fewer day by day, and she didn't regret it when she mentioned the bad words again. Fortunately, it didn't take much effort, and the little guy trotted all the way to eat, and said some good things with a smile, revealing the dullness of Fang Cai.

Xingye was afraid that she would be unhappy again, so she talked about the bullying of Ah Qi's youngest daughter Ali a few days ago.

Feng Ling's thoughts were quickly pulled by her, a few days ago, there were dust scars on his face, and he returned home in embarrassment, she asked for a long time and couldn't ask why, it was only when the children had been naughty, and it was common to fight, so she didn't ask again, and she didn't want to rest the next day but was punished for delay, but he learned some fists and kicks to bully people in street battles, and beat the three children of the city's family. After punishing the horse for half a day, Feng Ling couldn't help but feel distressed, but the little man didn't want to tell the reason. It wasn't until Aji came to accompany him to be punished, and Ali came to cry outside the hospital, and there was a lot of commotion for a while, before he made it clear that Na Xie had moved his fists and feet to protect Ali.

Feng Ling said, "Even if you hit someone, Aya didn't punish you wrong, so you can bear it, and remember that everything will only be solved with fists and feet." In his heart, he felt that what his son did was not bad at all, and he chatted with Yan Yan for a while afterwards, but he taught Yan Yan to "uphold the teachings of Mrs. Yinghua" and pushed back.

The two of them talked about this in detail, and when the meal was finished, Feng Ling took a silk handkerchief and pressed it to his lips, and several people came down from the wooden staircase leading to the upstairs compartment in front of them, and politely said polite words to each other.

Seeing this, the little guy and the shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, and a group of people were talking and laughing, and they walked towards the restaurant with someone in their arms. When passing by the case of Feng Ling, someone seemed to stop and glanced at her twice. After a short pause, he walked with the crowd again.

Feng Ling didn't care, put down the silk handkerchief in his hand, raised his voice to call someone to settle the bill, and called twice in a row, but he couldn't respond, and he probably sent the Chang'an household envoy out.

It was a long time before someone came up to her desk.

"The store sends distinguished customers, and you don't have to go out of the whole store, and you are not afraid that people will wipe their mouths after eating." While the wind spirit was teasing, he took off the money bag from his waist and counted out a pile of copper coins in two or three clicks.

"Gu Niangzi...... Don't come unharmed? The person at the table was silent for a moment or two, and then said abruptly.

Feng Ling's heart was shocked, and when he looked up, the man was forty miles away, with a white face and a short beard, a weak temperament, but his eyes were shrewd, and he was a face he didn't recognize. She calmed down for a moment, and quickly changed to a confused look: "This Ah Lang ...... Are you talking to me? ”

The man also seemed to hesitate a little, and bowed down: "In the next abruptness, it is talking to the lady." ”

Feng Ling held Xingye's arm, slowly stood up, and smiled apologetically, "Ah Lang probably recognized me as someone else." ”

"Although the people in the lower world are dull, but they have a good memory, Gu Niangzi said that the nobles can't forget things, but Gu Niangzi's salt and iron strategy in the Liangyi Hall was wonderful, and it was unforgettable in the next year." The man stubbornly insisted: "I also had the honor to work with Gu Niangzi once in the household department. ”

Feng Ling wanted to leave, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but look up at him twice, and after distinguishing it, he was panicked, this person was indeed an old acquaintance, it was Qin Yan in the Langzhong of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in the past, after his mention, he vaguely recalled that he had had an argument with him in front of Taizong about salt and iron.

The person who passed by in a hurry didn't want to reassure him, but he remembered it very well, and he still met him by chance in this place far away from Chang'an. Wind Spirit's gaze turned to the staircase for a glance, and the man who had just descended downstairs and was standing still beside her was probably him. It turned out that the envoy from Chang'an who was delayed and hurried to greet him that day was actually him, and I don't know who he offended in Chang'an.
