Mu Zigui glanced at Yan Xiaoyue and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Qinghua Town is to the south, and the horse team of Katuo Country does not dare to go in, at most, they are just sweeping in the border area before the heavy snow covers the mountain, and the unlucky ones are still the people." ”

"Why don't they do business with Da Zhou and buy food?"

"How is it possible, Da Zhou is strictly forbidden, and it is a big crime to buy and sell grain with the northern country. Northern slaves cannot be raised, and the men of Katuo are already strong and aggressive, if they have no worries, they are only afraid that the Great Zhou Dynasty will be in danger. ”

Yan Xiaoyue didn't understand this, and nodded as if she didn't understand.

"Let's take a look at this." Mu Zigui opened the box in his hand, and the box was full of black stones.

Yan Xiaoyue picked up one of them, the section was very smooth, and there was a kind of crystal texture. "Brother Zigui, what kind of stone is this?"

"This is called dragon crystal, it is the fire dragon after the anger in the encounter with the sea sediment, very rare, but also in a very small tribe in the north, all say that this kind of dragon crystal is stained with dragon energy, can attract wealth and ward off evil spirits, this time I will be able to find in the tribe of dragon crystal back, and will go to the closed moon to play some ornaments, you can wear it close in the future, and in the room, the study must be made of this dragon crystal ornaments."

Yan Xiaoyue was very moved when she heard this, the entire northern country can also find such a box of dragon crystals, you can imagine how precious this is, I think I am still afraid that she will have an accident, I will finish the matter about the ginkgo tree, although everyone does not say it, but they have been preparing all the time.

"Okay, then I'll let Master Yu, who is in the closed moon fast, take a shot, play a few jade cards to make a pressure skirt, and put a string of bracelets, I take it with me every day. In the study, there is a washing pen, and the Buddha statue of the dragon crystal is placed in the wing. ”

"That's good. I see that the patriarchs in the north like to bring Buddhist beads made of dragon crystals, and you can also wear a string. When the time comes, I will take it to Huguo Temple and find a monk to open a light, I believe the effect will be better. ”

Yan Xiaoyue people feel that her forehead is full of black lines, and the Buddha beads are very large, okay? Raised his hand and looked at his fair and slender wrist, is it good to have such a thick string of dragon crystal Buddha beads on it?

Mu Zigui knew what she thought when he looked at Yan Xiaoyue's expression, for fear that Xiaoyue would not wear Longjing for the sake of beauty. Zhengse said: "Xiaoyue." Safety first, you know, you're not alone. ”

Yan Xiaoyue looked at Mu Zigui's worried expression. With a soft heart, he nodded and said, "I know, I will wear it every day." ”

The box of dragon crystals was finally taken by Mu Zigui to close the moon fast, and Yan Xiaoyue returned to Yanyue Residence with two boxes of furs and a few boxes of fine gems.

Jiang Siyan just looked at it. knew that her lady had looted a lot of good things from her mother's house again.

"I see that my eldest brother runs so hard every year, and all the money he earns goes to you!"

"What. I didn't use it alone, these two boxes are good furs, and there is no need to buy things outside if you have them, and the price of skins will increase in winter when you get there. The quality is also average. How can you not be careful about what you are wearing? Besides, it's the end of the year, this grandfather and grandmother. two uncles and aunts, as well as a stepfather and mother. A few sisters, who doesn't want to send something, two boxes seem to be a lot, but in fact, it may not be enough. ”

Jiang Siyan listened to it for a while, but he didn't have his own name. "Lady, it seems that there are more and more important people in your heart."

Yan Xiaoyue thought about it, isn't it? In the past, he only needed to help Mu Zigui prepare for the preparation, and then the three people who went to the Yang Mansion were simple, but now, if they are roughly calculated, they are more than a dozen people, and they must even weigh the weight of the gift clearly, and they can't offend people by losing their manners.

For example, the four sisters of the Jiang family, now that Jiang Siwen is married, it can not be counted, but Jiang Siyao is a concubine, if the one who gave her is the same as the one who sent Jiang Siji, then the second aunt and grandmother are estimated to be unhappy, maybe even Jiang Siyao will secretly blame her, so running a house is not an easy errand to do.

"Yes, there are more and more personnel to take care of now, and when it comes to this year's festival, I am very busy, and I have to think about everything."

"Did you forget someone when the lady was a person?"

Yan Xiaoyue looked back and thought about it, but she really forgot, "Xianggong, didn't you remind me that I really forgot, hurry up and tell Bi'er to add the second brother in." ”

Jiang Siyan frowned, who cares about that kid. "What else?"

Yan Xiaoyue folded her fingers and counted again, and said suspiciously: "How many aunts of the second uncle are there?" ”

Jiang Siyan hugged the confused person, "Didn't you see the person in front of you?" ”

Yan Xiaoyue suddenly realized, and pushed her big face open, "What, really, what are you here to make a fuss?" ”

"How can this be called joining in the fun, you have prepared it for everyone else, but you lack the closest husband, is this like a word?"

"Oh, I've already prepared your things, so don't mess with them at this time."

Jiang Siyan let go of the little lady with a smile and let her go alone.

This year's snow not only came early, but also for a long time, and it became heavier and heavier, and the whole month was gloomy and gloomy weather, and it snowed heavily as soon as it was dark. The carbon price in the imperial city is getting higher and higher, and the silver filament carbon in ten taels and one basket has been out of stock early, and the black carbon in the previous basket of one or two silver has also risen to two taels of silver and a basket.

Yan Xiaoyue looked at the goose feather snow that was still fluttering, and said worriedly: "If the snow goes like this, sooner or later there will be a snow disaster." ”

"Yes, when the slave was young, I saw the old houses in the village crushed by the heavy snow, and no one in them escaped."

Yan Xiaoyue listened to Bi'er's words, her eyes lit up, the houses here are all made of wooden beams, and then covered with tiles, and the bearing capacity is very small. And on a snowy day, most people just sweep the snow in front of their door, not realizing that the snow on the roof is the real disaster.

Think about it, if the roof collapses under heavy snow at night, few people who fall asleep will be able to escape.

Yan Xiaoyue's worries became a reality within two days, and a house collapsed in a village not far from the imperial city, and an old man who lived in it did not escape in time and was frozen to death.

When she heard the news, Yan Xiaoyue couldn't sit still, entered the study, and quickly wrote a letter to King Ning.

The next day, the strong men in the city have taken the broom, the dustpan went out, went to the roof, and there were fast horses in the suburbs, for a while, sweeping the roof snow became a beautiful scenery near the imperial city, and people were not afraid of the cold when they exercised, so that they invisibly saved some carbon fire. And King Ning's popularity among the people this time has also reached a new height.

But then there was a war report from the frontier, and the Katuo Kingdom invaded the border city again, this time the unlucky one was Xiling County, the fief of King Ning. And this time, the people of Katuo who entered Xiling to rob not only robbed the grain, but also brutally slaughtered people from several villages. As soon as this matter was reported back to the imperial city, the courtiers in the court were shocked. (To be continued.) )
