Externally, in the east of Dachen, there are Goryeo, Dongyi and other countries, in the south are Nanjiang, Miaojiang, Nanyue, Siam and other places, and in the north there are Rakshasas, Yuan Kingdom, Turkic, Western Xia and Rouran.

Every year of famine or autumn and winter, they will come to the border from time to time to harass, which leads to the situation on the border of Dachen is very tense.

Internally, the vast area of the 36 prefectures of Yanbei is the fief of the king of Yanbei, and it is still nominally the territory of Da Chen, and the emperor of Da Chen is the main one. In fact, the people of Yanbei basically only know that there is a king of Yanbei, but they do not know that there is a son of heaven.

The army under the command of the king of Yanbei is strong and well-equipped, and they are all iron-blooded divisions that have gone through a hundred battles, with strict military discipline and combat effectiveness, and they are loyal to the king of Yanbei, and then they have become the henchmen of Emperor Dachen.

Sitting on that dragon chair, from time to time I had to worry about whether Yanbei's army would enter Beizhili, and then drive straight into the capital, which was simply terrifying.

And the northeast of Liaodong, and Da Chen's Guannei Mansion corresponds to the vast area outside the Guan, in the early days of the founding of the country was divided by Emperor Da Chen to his brother King Liao, so many years have passed, although the King of Liao is still a clan, but this blood relationship is much farther away from the current Emperor Chongzhen.

Liao covers a vast area, fertile land, extremely rich in materials, Emperor Chongzhen is not greedy for the resources of Liao, but has not been able to find the opportunity to recover the fief of the King of Liao.

In addition, in the past few years, there have been disasters and famines in various places, and the treasury inventory has been much smaller than before, and the people have also complained about the lack of disaster relief, and several small-scale peasant uprisings have broken out in various places.

Under such circumstances, Jiang Lanbi, who has studied 5,000 years of Chinese history, naturally knows that he is afraid that it will not be long before a large-scale war breaks out in Dachen.

During the war years, the lives of the poor people were even more difficult, but fortunately she crossed over to Xue Wuniang, otherwise she was afraid that she would be able to die first!

Xue Wuniang's father Xue Yan is the younger brother of Xue Zhiqin, the current patriarch of the Xue family, who was the prefect of Pingzhou at the time, and was an official of the fourth grade, and he was able to achieve the fourth grade at the age of thirty, which not only proves that Xue Yan himself is talented and capable, but also shows that the Xue family values him.

Xue Wuniang's mother, Zhao, was born in the Zhao family of the Marquis of Zhongsu Mansion who was born in Yanbei's family of generations of hairpins, and the Zhao family is the daughter of Zhao Xieliang, the Marquis of Zhongsu, and the Gu family, the princess of Yanbei, is also a distant relative.

Rong Yunhe thought about this, but his body unconsciously felt crooked, and then the whole person fell asleep.

Seeing this, Shisu hurriedly put down the needle and thread in his hand, stepped forward gently, took a brocade quilt of moon white goldfish playing algae and covered Rong Yunhe's body, and then gently took the needle and thread, lifted the curtain and went to the ear room.

And at this moment, Yun Ying, who was sitting in the ear room and doing needlework all afternoon, also put down the work in his hand, stood up and moved his stiff body, beat his somewhat sour neck, looked at the sky outside the window and saw that it had begun to darken, and estimated that it was time to cook dinner, so he went to the kitchen briskly and helped Luo Cailei cook.

When the kitchen of the Rong family was first built, it used three rooms in the west courtyard, all of which were opened in the middle, and in the spacious and bright kitchen, there were a total of six small stoves and four large stoves, all of which were extremely tidy.

There are stacks of neat stacks of firewood in the corner of the wall, all kinds of kitchen utensils for frying and cooking on the kitchen table, the drawer basket and steamer are placed in the large cabinet next to the kitchen case, and all kinds of sauces and rice, grains, fruits and vegetables are also neatly placed on the desk.

Next to the door of the kitchen, there is also a half-old large water tank, which contains the fish that Cai Ershun brought back from the river today.

Tian Daniu was wearing a half-old light blue muslin skirt, with black hair in a simple bun, pinned to a plain silver hairpin, neatly cleaned up, and was squatting in the corner of the kitchen at the moment, picking vegetables in the wicker basket.

Yun Ying walked in, said hello to Luo Cailei, who was busy, and walked over when she saw Tian Da Niu, squatted beside her with a smile, and asked, "What is the big girl doing?" ”

When Tian Daniu heard this, she replied in a low voice: "Aunt Luo said that this young master and Miss are only afraid of being hungry, so let me make two cakes for the young master to pad her stomach." ”

Yun Ying knew that this girl was the eldest in the original family, so she had already started to cook alone when she was seven or eight years old, and then came to the Rong family to learn cooking skills with Luo Cailei for a few years, and her skills were even better.

The hand-cooked Yanbei home-cooked food made by the big girl is Mrs. Liu, who was used to eating all kinds of delicacies in the capital, and she was also full of praise.

Thinking of this, Yun Ying smiled and said, "Then what kind of cake are you going to make?" Come on, I'll help you out! ”

Speaking of her best cooking skills, Tian Daniu, who has always been taciturn, also came to her senses, and pointed to the dried gourd strips in the wicker basket with great interest: "Aunt Luo said, now that the first snow has fallen, it is cold and cold, and the young master has to study hard every day, so tonight I will stew a cup of Huai yam mutton soup for the young master to replenish my body, and then let me make a sweet soup for the young master."

I'm going to make two gourd cakes to match. Sister, you see, to make gourd cakes, it is best to use tender gourd strips.

Originally, in the summer, we dried the gourd strips, and the older ones I cut thicker, and the tender ones I cut thinner, which will naturally be easy to distinguish. ”

As she spoke, the eldest girl quickly picked out a small handful of sun-dried gourd strips from the wicker basket, washed them in a porcelain basin and cut them into thin strips. Then scoop half a scoop of white/flour into a copper basin, then add an egg, and after mixing, put the gourd shreds into the noodles.

Then, the girl scooped two more spoonfuls of water into the noodles and mixed them into a thick dough water, and at the same time, her right hand quickly grabbed an appropriate amount of salt, pepper powder and finely minced shallots in the spice bowl next to her and sprinkled them into the dough water, and then woke up the noodles for a while.

In the short days of yesterday's station, Ah Yu did not receive any notice, which means that the test water pushing wood that was expected to be there next week has a duh...... The taste of running naked is very uncomfortable, so I hope that the little angels will support a lot, so that Ah Yu can show her face on the rookie list ~O(∩_∩)O~
