Chapter 129
Tian Miao got along with the horse day and night, imperceptibly, and really learned the spirit of the horse, turned over and dismounted, she knelt straight in front of Jiang Wanbai, and said with a slight cry: "Milk, I'm back." โ
As soon as she said this, Jiang Wanbai reacted, helped her up, and said with a smile: "It's good to come back, it's frozen all the way, let's go, go into the house to warm up." So saying, she led the people into the house.
For Tian Lao Wu, Tian Miao knew her, but Di Boxiu, she didn't know who it was, after arriving in the house, Jiang Wanbai first introduced the two, and then briefly mentioned Tian Lao Wu's current identity, and everyone began to gossip.
"By the way, I brought you something too." Tian Miao said, opened a large package he was carrying, and began to distribute the contents inside.
"Milk, this ginseng is produced in Lingwei Mountain, it is the best for you to replenish your body, second uncle, second aunt, this red agate is said to be able to bless people with health and longevity, I specially gave it to you.
Third uncle, third aunt, this fox skin is soft and warm, you try, and Liu'er, I specially chose this red fox's scarf for you, you have white skin, you must look good when you wear it.
...... "Tian Miao gave gifts to everyone, even Tian Cheng'an, Di Boxiu, Tian Laowu and Di Moyun, and although each gift was not worth a thousand gold, it was also worth some silver, which stunned the Tian family.
"Miao'er, where did you get all these things?" Jiang Wanbai didn't believe it, just being a handyman who fed the horses, he could afford these, even if he didn't eat or drink, he could afford to buy one of them, it would be good.
The Zhao family was still immersed in dream-like joy, but when she heard Jiang Wanbai's words, she immediately reacted, grabbed Tian Miao's hand, and said hurriedly: "Miao'er, you can't leave your mother, your mother doesn't want this, she just wants you to be safe." โ
Tian Miao was so concerned, her eyes were a little red, she smiled and shook Zhao's hand, she said to Jiang Wanbai, "I really didn't buy these things, they were given by others." โ
Then, Tian Miao told a story that seemed bizarre and reasonable.
It turns out that the herdsmen of the Western Regions generally do not cultivate, but walk with the grass, and every winter, when the grass and trees wither, that is, when their lives are the most difficult, if they are unlucky, in the event of a heavy snowstorm, cattle and sheep are killed and injured countless times, not to mention, even people, may be frozen to death and starved to death.
In order to avoid this, I don't know when they started, they also learned to hoard hay and build grass huts in the autumn, but there is only so much grass, and they don't have the habit of planting it themselves, where can they store enough forage, so they will choose to buy it from the merchants of the Li Dynasty.
At this time, it is a good time for the Li Dynasty to buy good horses in the Western Regions, not only can you buy a lot of cheap horses, but sometimes you can also buy some rare horse breeds, after all, between starvation and a horse, even a tenacious Western Regions people have to be cautious.
Before the winter of this year, the Ouyang family decided to go to the Western Regions to buy horses again, and Tian Miao was able to follow there because of Master Li's special recommendation.
It is said that the grassland and the sea will make people open-minded, this is not true at all, the magnificent scenery of this road, coupled with the frank and enthusiastic grassland people, have affected the seedlings, making her more and more tenacious, just like the flowers on the grassland, although not the most beautiful, but the most tenacious vitality.
Seeing that the trip to the grassland was about to end, on this day, the caravan arrived at the largest tribe on the grassland, Adoli, and the rest of the caravan went to negotiate business with the tribal leader, Tian Miao wanted to take this opportunity to buy some gifts for his family, so he wandered around with great interest.
Walking around, she was attracted by a small red flower, and unconsciously left the tribe, and when she came back to her senses, she saw a vast expanse everywhere, making it impossible to tell where the way was coming and where the way was going.
Just when she was a little anxious, a black horse suddenly ran in the distance, and the black horse was carrying a โกโก-year-old child, at this time, the black horse seemed to be a little crazy, and while running, he raised his front hooves and raised his hind hooves and kicked them, as if he wanted to throw the child off.
The boy was very tenacious, and kept holding the horse's neck fiercely, but his strength was too small, and this not only did not help, but made the dark horse more irritable, and the scene was full of dangers.
Tian Miao immediately decided to try to appease the dark horse and save the child, but fortunately, she succeeded in the end.
When the child returned to the tribe with Tian Miao, Tian Miao knew that the child was actually the son of the tribal leader, and the tribal leader immediately said that Tian Miao was the most honored guest of their tribe, and immediately reached a deal with the Ouyang family's caravan.
When Tian Miao left, the tribal leader gave her these gifts, and the child gave her the black horse, the one she had just ridden outside.
"That's the way it is." Tian Miao finished the whole thing very calmly, as if the danger and bizarre in it did not happen to her at all, but to a stranger.
The Tian family digested it for a while before accepting this matter, and asked Tian Miao curiously, what do the people in the Western Regions look like, what do they eat in the Western Regions, etc., the Tian family is lively.
This kind of excitement lasted until the evening, and reached a โกโก when everyone sat around eating dumplings, and the strong joy and care for each other all melted in the thick of the heat and warmed everyone's hearts.
After dinner, it is the New Year's Celebration, after the New Year's Celebration, the Tian family, like everyone, began to be busy visiting relatives and friends, for many days, they were very busy, but they were also very happy.
Unlike other people's happiness, Jiang Wanbai's happiness was also mixed with a trace of worry, and this worry became heavier and heavier as time passed.
Today is already the tenth day of the first month, it stands to reason that if the emperor really drank her Wujiapi wine, the news should have been spread a long time ago, why is there no movement at all?
Could it be that something went wrong, Jiang Wanbai's heart went up and down, and from time to time asked Tian Lao Er to go to the town to inquire if there was anything big going on recently.
Tian Lao Er could feel Jiang Wanbai's impatience, and went to the town early every day, but unfortunately, the people in the town were still in the joy of the New Year, and nothing happened.
Time is the fifteenth day of the first month in a blink of an eye, according to the custom, today to eat tangyuan, for what to eat, Jiang Wanbai has always had new ideas, so Wang came to ask her about this tangyuan.
Jiang Wanbai is annoyed now, how can she be in the mood to study food, let Wang do it as usual, she turned her head and continued to look at the door, Tian Lao Er has been out for a while, why hasn't he come back.
Just when Jiang Wanbai was in a hurry, at the door, Tian Lao Er ran in in a panic, ran twice, and almost fell, staggered a few steps before stopping his figure, and hurriedly ran to the house.
Wang was about to go out to hug Chai He, and when he saw Tian Laoer's appearance, he said with some puzzlement: "Look at your appearance, it's not that the sky is falling, what can't you take your time, be careful of your body." โ
"It's not like the sky is falling." Tian Lao Er said this with a shocked face, and then entered the house to see Jiang Wanbai.
Jiang Wanbai had already heard what he said to the Wang family, and felt that her head was buzzing and swollen violently, "What's the matter?" She said hurriedly.
Tian Lao Er didn't wait to stand still, so he said: "The emperor is critically ill and wants to pass on the crown prince, but when he heard that the prime minister and many ministers suddenly said that the prince colluded with the Liang people, in order to get the support of the Liang Dynasty, he promised to give them fifty cities, and he was simply a sinner of the Li Dynasty and was not worthy of inheriting the unification. โ
The Liang Dynasty is next door to the Li Dynasty, although the land area is not as large as the Li Dynasty, but the population is large, and it has always been eyeing the Li Dynasty, and it is the great enemy of the Li Dynasty.
Is it possible, though? The prince is so dignified, how could he do this? Could it be that this qiฤ is all a conspiracy of the Wen family, who wants to push the son of the concubine Wen to the throne?
It should be like this, so what's going on with the emperor's critical illness? suddenly remembered that Ouyang Jun said that she should not go out after the year, and something big would happen, as if she had expected this to happen, does that mean that the emperor's illness is actually ......
But what if it's true? Jiang Wanbai didn't dare to think of this possibility.
"Mother, the emperor can't be seriously ill because he drank our wine!" Tian Lao Er was about to cry, plotting to kill the emperor, this is a big crime of robbing the family and destroying the nine clans, not to mention the Tian family, even the entire Tianjia Village, there are few people who can survive.
"No, I know the wine I brewed, besides, if there is really a problem with our wine, it will be almost twenty days before the wine is sacrificed, and someone will come to arrest us a long time ago, and we will wait until now." Saying this, Jiang Wanbai's heart is really steady.
"If so, what if it's because we haven't been found yet?" Tian Lao Er said.
"Then it won't be, the things used by the emperor are all careful and careful, the wine is offered by Ouyang Jun, if something really goes wrong, the first one will find him, treat him for his crimes, and then touch the melon and touch us.
But now that Ouyang Jun is doing well, it can be seen that there is something strange about this matter. Jiang Wanbai blessed her heart, and suddenly figured out the key, and her heart was put back in her stomach at once.
"What's the matter?" Tian Lao Er asked.
"You don't care about this matter, in short, as long as we stay at home, there should be no accidents."
Tian Lao Er saw that Jiang Wanbai said so categorically, there was no choice but to choose Jiang Wanbai, and walked out half-heartedly.
