Chapter 262: Thinking Wildly!
Girls, do you have any surplus food in the landlord's house? Quick search pocket, can there be a monthly pass? Bowl into bowl...... Boom!
------Off topic------
"Go! Xuan Chenjing immediately entered the palace. β
It was a long time before his deep voice came overhead.
Glancing at him coldly, Zhao Mianze was silent.
"Subordinate......" Jiao Yu's hand trembled a little, and his head hung lower, "I don't know, I haven't been rewarded." β
Her ears ...... Is it getting better? β
She ...... Very good. β
"How is she?"
"It's spring, it's warm."
"What's the weather like in Peiping Province?"
Zhao Mianze's eyes had returned to his usual smile, looking at the two little clay figures leaning against each other in front of him, and asking questions one by one.
Jiao Yu's fist tightened slightly, settled down, came back slowly, knelt on the ground and lowered his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "My subordinates are here." β
"Jiao Yu stays."
Soon, his gentle voice was heard again in the imperial study.
The crowd came out one after another.
Zhang Siha kowtowed, thanking his ancestors for bless him for the eighteenth generation, and escaped again, and also thanked God for letting him stay with the emperor every day, and it was not easy to leave a head to eat.
The people who knelt on the ground finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Mianze looked at him like this, and the smile on the corner of his lips was suppressed, but he didn't get angry again, "Next time you dare to do it again, I want your head." Let's all go down. β
"Your Majesty...... Spare the slaves, spare the slaves, in the future, the slaves will not be respectful, and they will not dare to take a step, not to mention Concubine Hui, even flies will not be allowed to fly in. β
Zhang Siha thought like this, and kowtowed nervously.
Why laugh? Are you going to be killed?
The faces of the people below stiffened.
Slowly, he sat back in the chair, took the two ugly clay dolls on the table like a baby, dusted their heads with his sleeves, and looked at the words "Chu'er" and "Mianze", thinking about her mood when she wrote these words, whether she wanted to be with him for a long time, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he actually showed a shallow smile.
It was a woman who had no heart at all.
And then no matter what he did, she wouldn't look at him more.
"If you knew today, why bother in the first place?"
No, she won't do anything. She would only sneer.
Zhao Mianze stared at him, looked at his trembling body, and suddenly wanted to laugh. He thought to herself, if that woman was still in Jingshi, if she was allowed to see her like this, if she knew that he was crazy about her, not only lost the majesty of the emperor, but even lost her temper so angry, what would she think? What will she do?
"Your Majesty...... Spare your life. Your Majesty spares your life. β
The timid Zhang Siha, his face was as white as paper, and his lips were white with trembling.
"Soothing the Sacred Heart? When will it be your turn to call the bills in my private affairs? Zhao Mianze's temper tonight was very great, although his voice was not high, but as soon as the words fell, there was a "Tongtong" kowtow sound on the green bricks.
"Damn it. The subordinates waited to see His Majesty's review and hard work, thinking that Concubine Hui was here...... Happiness is allowed to soothe the Sacred Heart. β
Jiao Yu raised his head, only glanced at him, and lowered it again.
"What about you?"
Zhao Mianze glanced at him quietly, and then turned his head to look at Jiao Yu and the other guards, his eyes were still quiet, as if he was not angry at all, and his tone was very gentle.
Zhang Siha cried with a sad face, "Your Majesty said that you want to clean up, so the slave walked away and went to ...... It was convenient to go to the thatched house, and I don't know how Concubine Hui entered the house. β
Zhao Mianze stared at Zhang Siha quietly, "What crime should you be guilty of?" β
"Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry."
In the imperial study, the veil was still fluttering gently, and it seemed that it had not yet recovered from the previous "Emperor's Wrath". And at the door of the imperial study, there were also people kneeling on the ground, all of them kowtowed.
~
Where does Xiaoyan know what "heat" is? just carried the soup box and followed Gu Ajiao's back and left.
"Oh, yes."
Glancing at her, Gu Ajiao smiled softly, "No need, the stew is not enough, I am afraid that it will not be able to enter the mouth of His Majesty." We'll talk about it in a few days. β
Xiao Yan was stunned, "Master, you have stewed this dark fragrant soup for two hours, don't you give it to Your Majesty to taste?" β
"After the play is over, let's go back."
But Gu Ajiao's head slowly raised, she looked at the Wulan Pearl in the distance, stood quietly for a moment, glanced in the direction of the imperial study, and turned back to order the maid Xiaoyan beside her.
Gu Ajiao responded respectfully, not daring to raise her head. Seeing her like this, Wulan Mingzhu was a lot less angry with Zhao Mianze, and left with a cold snort.
"Mother has a point."
Wulan Mingzhu raised her hand, motioned for her to get up, and then said, "Gu Guiren, according to the palace, your opinion is fundamentally wrong. Where does Your Majesty like her to fight? Where is it to like her audacity? It is clear that His Majesty is pleased with her. So, everything she does is good. β
Among the concubines in this palace, Gu Ajiao is the one with the most no background, so she is polite and polite to anyone, and even a little cautious. Wulan Mingzhu looks down on her, and disdains to worry too much about this kind of empty and beautiful woman. What's more, she entered the palace as the first queen's companion, except for the night when His Majesty was drunk, she never slept again, and she never posed a threat to her, and Wulan Mingzhu didn't want to take her in her eyes and promoted her.
"It's really not a shame for you to be so promising!"
Ulan Mingzhu snorted coldly.
"Back to the mother's words, what the concubine learned is indeed like this. But although the concubine and the former queen were closer, they didn't know much about the affairs between her and His Majesty. Failing to help Niangniang is the fault of the concubine, and I hope Niangniang will forgive her sins. β
Gu Ajiao was startled, frowned, and knelt down.
Seeing her look of sincere fear, Wulan Mingzhu snorted coldly, "Didn't you tell this palace that the difference between that Xia Chu and ours is that she is bold, she dares to confront Your Majesty, and she even dares to make a move against Your Majesty......"
Gu Ajiao's face froze, and she hurriedly shook her head, "Why did Niang Niang say this?" β
"Gu Guiren is here to see the jokes of the palace?"
Ulan Mingzhu hid her face and wiped away her tears, and then glared at him angrily.
"The concubine knocks to see Concubine Hui."
On the road of the imperial city at night, a palace concubine walked in the distance. When she saw Ulan Mingzhu coming, she curtsied her knees.
Overhead, there was another angry shout! Wulan Mingzhu has been in the palace for so long, and he has never seen him lose his temper like this, and for a while, his face turned pale with fright, and he shrank back, and his well-made face was full of fear. She opened her mouth as if to plead something, but without saying a word, she got up and stumbled out.
"I told you to get out!"
She screamed in her heart, and was so frightened that she couldn't step on her feet.
She was slightly stunned, "Concubine-" Before she finished speaking, she saw that the song on the imperial case was suddenly brushed away by Zhao Mianze, and in the sound of "crackling", the song fell on her body.
"Get outβ"
Because she saw the sneer on Zhao Mianze's face.
Wulan Mingzhu bit her lip, faced her with the most beautiful posture, looked at her with the most beautiful smile, and the pear vortex on her lips was shallow and intoxicating in her smile. She knew he liked her to laugh like that. But for a moment, her smile froze.
"Concubine...... I want to serve Your Majesty! β
Zhao Mianze glanced at him with a smile, "You want to stay?" β
"Your Majesty, the concubine is here tonight...... How are you waiting? β
Subconscious joy quickly dominated her brain, so much so that she didn't see the flash of anger in the emperor's eyes, she only hung her head shyly, and slowly moved a pair of hands holding his lap upward, little by little, slowly pulling away the corners of his dragon robe.
He laughed! He smiled at him.
Ulan Mingzhu looked at his smile and her heart was pounding.
"I didn't expect that Concubine Ai would have such a heart?"
He didn't want to admit that he hadn't forgotten, and he didn't want his thoughts to be told in public by a concubine. Looking at Wulan Mingzhu, his handsome face stiffened for a moment, and suddenly smiled slowly, the curvature of the corners of his lips seemed to be half angry, and his voice was extremely gentle.
The three words "forgot her" knocked heavily on Zhao Mianze's heart.
"The concubine wants to know what to do to make His Majesty forget her."
Wulan Mingzhu looked at the haze on his face, and suddenly smiled softly, "The concubine knows that it shouldn't be, and she knows that there is something wrong." But the concubine really couldn't bear to see His Majesty in such pain, trapped by love...... "After a pause, she bit the minister and threw out a muffled thunder again.
"It's good to know what you're wrong, go down."
Zhao Mianze was slightly unhappy, but he was still silent.
"The concubine trespasses, please punish Your Majesty."
But she couldn't take it, and she also wanted to try it to the death.
Some people speculate that Emperor Jianzhang did not set up a middle palace in order to weigh the relationship between the court and the court, so as to avoid chaos among his subordinates. But Wulan Mingzhu knows that his love, his heart, and even his wife are given to other women, and others can't take possession.
The absence of a queen has become the best trade-off.
Now that the middle palace of Dayan is empty, the queen is "deceased", and it stands to reason that Zhao Mianze should establish a new queen. But he has not moved, and the ministers who have daughters and granddaughters as concubines in the court have been fighting for a while, but the emperor seems to have no intention of anyone, so they no longer fight.
The Ulan Pearl is really bold. As an ordinary concubine, not Queen Dayan, she actually asked him for the same love as a husband, which was not only bold, but an arrogant act of over-etiquette.
"You're bold."
It took him a long time to lift the woman on his lap.
Zhao Mianze stiffened and looked at her, his eyes were quite deep.
"Your Majesty's favor of concubines is a blessing for concubines...... But the concubine wants to know, is there a point in His Majesty's favor, not the same favor as the sisters, but the love of the husband? β
Hearing that his mood calmed down a lot, Wulan Mingzhu's heart eased, hugged his legs and put his face on it, rested on his knees, rubbed gently, and his tone was much softer.
"Say."
Zhao Mianze looked at her with a shallow gaze.
"Your Majesty, the concubines are brave and have a word to ask."
After a moment's hesitation, she slowly knelt down, her arms clasping his legs.
She is a woman, a princess who has been spoiled since childhood, and a woman who longs for love and love from her husband. Now in the palace, there are countless concubines, everyone wants to get the emperor's favor, she is confused every day, and she needs a reassuring pill too much - the emperor treats himself "differently".
Wulan Mingzhu saw that he was in a bad mood, and in normal times, she should retreat obediently and not annoy him. But firstly, relying on his usual favor, and secondly, the sound of "Xiao Qi" that he spit out from his mouth earlier stung her heart and made her feet no longer move.
"I know the thoughts of the concubine. Go ahead. β
She tried her best to keep her voice low and soft, trying to show the tenderness of women, and just wanted to smile. But the king in the seat frowned more and more, but he was a little impatient, but in the end he still endured his temper, and after listening to her, he pressed on her shoulder and asked her to get up.
"Back to Your Majesty's words, the concubine heard that His Majesty has been working hard for state affairs recently, and he has not been in the harem for a few days, and he can only sleep for three or two hours a day, and the concubine ...... Very distressed. Only then did I stew a nourishing soup, and I wanted to come over to relieve His Majesty's worries. β
Wulan Mingzhu bit her lower lip and looked at him with red eyes, looking quite aggrieved. Where did she know that she had disturbed the emperor's sweet dreams? It's just that the emperor in front of him is no longer warm in the past, and he looks a little terrifying.
"Who let you in?"
The voice like Huang Ying'er, tactfully and lowly, was very good, but it pulled Zhao Mianze's thoughts back, he was startled, raised his head from the imperial case, looked at her, and was annoyed.
"Your Majesty, it's a concubine......"
The owner of the hands was slightly stunned and raised his head.
"You're finally willing to fall asleep."
Zhao Mianze's body stiffened, as if he couldn't bear to destroy such a good dream, and kept an awkward posture, letting her beat her legs, not moving, and only a sigh on her lips.
"Little Seven ......"
The sound of her footsteps came to her ears, she slowly, walked in front of him, her face was always smiling, the pear vortex on her cheeks was shallow, more and more coquettish, the palace clothes on her body were long and on the ground, walked over, walked to the edge of the imperial case, slowly squatted down, clenched her little hands into fists, gently pounded on his legs, and carefully served him.
"Your Majesty, the concubine is here to serve you......"
In the flickering candlelight, he was a little tired and lay on the royal case. Half-asleep, a figure appeared in his mind, she seemed to be real and illusory, it seemed to be in front of him, and it seemed to be floating in mid-air.
Zhao Mianze rubbed his forehead, glanced at the mountains of music in front of him, sighed, took the pair of clay dolls that Xia Chu had pinched on the imperial case, spread them out in the palm of his hand, and his eyes slowly drifted away.
Zhang Siha bowed down and went backwards as if he was amnesty.
"Go down, be quiet."
But now he didn't make the tea, and he was ready to bloom on his buttocks, but Zhao Mianze waved his hand and spared him.
He Chengan is gone, he has been studying hard for the past year, but he is always picked by the emperor with his nose and eyes, and he is not a person inside and out. I finally felt what it means to be "a companion like a tiger". Especially after the King of Jin went north to become a vassal domain, the young emperor's temper was even more uncertain. In the court, he is still gentle and kind-hearted, but when he is alone in private, only a close attendant like Zhang Siha knows that it is simply cold, and if he is not careful, he will be hit by the board.
"Slaves know their mistakes, and slaves know their mistakes."
Zhang Siha's hand shook and he fell to his knees.
"Next time you make tea, don't use boiling water."
The early spring of Beiping Mansion is still cold, but the new green of Beijing has covered the earth. The green trees of the courtyard swayed in the wind, and the vermilion palace walls surrounded the deep loneliness. The cool breeze entered the hall, Zhao Mianze gathered the dragon robe on his body, took Zhang Siha's new soak in the rain before the dragon well, took a sip, and frowned.
~
It seems that the peaceful life of more than a year is about to be broken.
Xia Chuqi looked at his back and was slightly stunned.
"Well, Lu Yuan and Yuanbao are waiting in the Carrier Palace, and the master will go back and talk about it." With that, he glanced at Qinglan and Jia, and then left straight with Jiang Nan.
Xia Chuqi nodded, "Do you have something to do?" β
"Ah Qi, you go back to the room to rest first."
Jiang Nan is shrewd and acts quite measured, so urgent, it must be an important matter, Xia Chuqi stopped and did not follow. I saw him bow his head and say something to Zhao Bottle, and when Zhao Bottle raised his head again, his face became a lot more solemn.
At the gate of the carrying hall, before Xia Chuqi and Zhao Zun entered, Shi Jiangnan, the left chief of the house, hurried over. Zuo Changshi was the largest subordinate official of the Jin Palace, and was personally appointed by Emperor Hongtai before Zhao Zhu went north.
As the residence of the most noble prince of Dayan, it is also the office space of the Beiping Domain, which is used by the Jin King to approach the vassals of the domain, and the Jin Wangfu covers a huge area, like a miniature version of the imperial city. There are four gates in the east, south, west and north of the house, there is the carrier hall in front, there is the round hall in the middle, and there is the heart hall in the back. Behind this large complex of buildings, there is also a place similar to the harem of the imperial city, which is divided into three houses, east and west, which are prepared for the side concubines and concubines of the king of Jin to live. It's just that now in the entire Jin Palace, there are seven hostesses at the beginning of summer, and the harem is all idle.
The Jin Wangfu in Beiping City was customized by Hong Tainian.
~
Now that another year of spring is blooming, she thought, it was a good start.
In this way, the two of them snuggled up to each other and spent a difficult year. But more than 300 days and nights, not long, nor short, the role of time has once again been reflected. Either way, the years are finally a lotion of some sad past.
The events on the Pukou dock had a great impact on her. She believes that the impact on Zhao Shijiu will not be small. But he didn't show anything in front of her, and most of the time, he made her amuseful except for amusing her.
Immediately moving on, the breeze gently sent a string of silver bells of laughter. And her laughter was the first time in more than a year.
A long "sigh" floated on the official road.
"Zhao Nineteen, you are a personβalas."
With a "poof", Xia Chuqi's hand loosened, and finally couldn't help giggling, and fell weakly into his arms.
"Come, die at your hands, the lord is very happy."
"Bastard, strangle you!"
Zhao Zhu looked at her red little face, did not miss the happy light that filled it, smiled slightly, he tied her waist and let her toss, "The peony flower dies, and the ghost is also romantic, although Ah Qi is a black peony, the master also admits it." β
"Dare to insult my appearance, see how I kill you today!"
This "um" dragged meaningfully, but unfortunately Xia Chuqi couldn't hear it, and he didn't pay attention to it, he only saw the tease on his raised eyebrows, and couldn't help gritting his teeth and rushing over, pinching his neck, and roaring fiercely.
He raised an eyebrow, "Huh? Ah Qi is willing? β
"Zhao Nineteen, you don't want points? Or do you want to sleep under the bed? β
From heaven to hell, Xia Chuqi stared at him speechlessly.
ββ¦β¦β
"Now, although it is not stunning, I am pleased."
ββ¦β¦β
Zhao Tuo looked down at her, and there was a narrow streamer in his dark eyes, "Compared to the black ghost I saw a few years ago, Ah Qi now doesn't know how much more beautiful." β
Does she compare her beauty with other girls? Xia Chuqi didn't want to be proud, but he couldn't help but raise his lips and put on a happy smile, "Hurry up and talk about it, how do you compare?" β
But he glanced at her, but he frowned, as if he was thinking, and then said in a deep voice: "Beauty, you have to compare." β
As soon as her heart was sweet, she wanted to hear a few more good words.
"Why didn't you think before?"
"That's nature."
Zhao Zhu has never liked to say meaty words, and he had no intention of saying a word before, it was already raining red rain, which was very unusual, and now when he saw her little daughter asking again coquettishly, he couldn't help but chuckle and took her in the crook of his arm.
"Zhao Nineteen, am I really good-looking?"
In the carriage, she sat down beside him and leaned her head over.
Zhao Shijiu rarely praised her appearance, and said coldly, "Born so beautiful", but Xia Chuqi was shocked, and by the way, he was also heartbroken. She found that women were happy to hear such compliments, even if it was just a lie.
ββ¦β¦β
"Yes?" Zhao Tuo glanced at her lightly, patted her head, thought about it and said, "Yuan You, this guy has never been serious, although you treat him as a brother, he may not." Besides, you two have no blood relationship, and you are born so beautiful, you have to guard against it. β
Xia Chuqi was angry and funny, his mouth grinned, revealing a few bright white teeth, "Master, have you smelled it, it smells so sour?" β
Is this even Motoyu's vinegar to eat?
Her head was lifted, the familiar warm breath sprayed on her face, and in front of her was a handsome and noble, but rigid face, with "unhappy" clearly written on her face.
"Look, everyone is gone."
After that, he turned over and got on his horse, shook off the reins, and with a "drive", he led a few guards away in a dashing manner. The horse's hooves "rattle", raising puffs of smoke and dust on the official road, reflecting the mist of the morning, like a sad painting, frozen in the sight of the seventh day of the first summer. Until his figure slowly became smaller and disappeared on the official road.
"Call back."
He let go of his hand, looked down at Xia Chuqi, and slowly spit out three words.
She joked easily, but she didn't know what to think, but Yuan Yu's face sank slowly. He glanced at Zhao Zhu's face solemnly, the corners of his lips curled, and he hugged her over, hugged her in his arms, patted her gently, and then said in his ear, "This Jingshi, the master can't go back easily." Even if you want to go back, it's ......"
"Yo, this doesn't look like you?!" Xia Chuqi scolded with a smile: "There is no queen in the Chengguo Mansion, you can't shout anymore, then the Chengguo Gong hears it, and he can't beat his chest and feet, sighing that raising a child is useless?" β
But he didn't pick it out, he only smiled happily, "There's no way, once you enter the rivers and lakes, the years are urging." The master is old, there are too many little mothers, her body is not good, and she can't move. β
How could Yuan Yu not hear that she was trying to persuade him to let go?
"Brother, Shanhaiguan is lonely and clear, if you are bored, please return to Beijing, Qinhuai Fengyue is drunk, this is a good time for the princes and grandsons to linger in the flowers, without you, isn't the Qinhuai River less amorous?"
She jumped down from the carriage and walked to Yuan You's side, brushing the sleeves of his robe, her tone was less bantering, but her exit was clearly still ridiculous.
Xia Chuqi understood his feelings, thought of his worries alone in Shanhaiguan, and wanted to comfort him a few more words, but at this moment, there were a lot of cars and horses coming and going on the official road, and it was inconvenient to say many words.
It didn't take long to get from Shanhaiguan to Beiping Mansion, so Yuan You would come over almost every month to meet Zhao Zhu, occasionally have a drink with him, or study firearms with Xia Chuqi, or inquire about Wuren Xiaoxiao's news, but he was never as drunk as last night.
"No, I'll come back next month."
Thinking of the drunken madness caused by drinking last night, Yuan You laughed suddenly, looked at the red clouds in the sky, and raised his eyebrows.
Zhao Jun glanced at him lightly, "Don't continue to drink?" β
"Tianlu, cousin, I won't enter the city."
In order to send Yuan You, everyone set up a carriage and rushed to Beiping from Miaoyin Town, but Yuan You did not enter Beiping City, and was still at the fork in the official road outside the city, so he jumped off the horse and hugged his fists to say goodbye to them.
The next day, it was sunny again.
A year later, almost every month, they would come and stay for some time, looking at the farmland, the soldiers' workshops, and the soldiers who were secretly training. Xia Chuqi likes this village, the river in the village, the trees in the village, the study house in the village, the children in the village, the little daughter-in-law in the village, and the big yellow dog in the village...... The most important thing is that I like the little Mao Mao who is about the same age as Little Nineteen.
This house was prepared for them.
After Yuan You finished eating, he staggered to the military workshop, and fought with a few old craftsmen, so he almost beat people with a fire hammer. Xia Chuqi accompanied him for half a night, and finally got him to sleep in the workshop, and then was forcibly pulled back by Zhao Zhu and stayed in a rural house in Miaoyin Town.
That night, none of them returned to Beiping.
On the surface, she is providing technology for firearms research and development, but in fact, she is not a professional, what can she provide? It's nothing more than some insight, insight, and some common sense stuff. And most of the time, she can only tell a vague and approximate microcosm from memory, and everything still needs to be refined, pondered, and perfected by Yuan You. Then I drew drawings with those firearms craftsmen and experimented repeatedly.
I have to say that Yuan You's talent in firearms has been further corroborated after he "fell out of love". Xia Chuqi even felt that he was simply a natural weapon expert, and even if she came from the later generations and had seen countless advanced weapons, she was also impressed.
"Hey, hey! Seeing a smile and laughing, I haven't done enough, and my cheeky face is not thick enough, please give my little grandfather a lot of advice, and the cooperation is pleasant-" Xia Chuqi poured wine for her, teasing him with joy on his lips, but his heart was as clear as a mirror. He really made the most effort.
"you!" Yuan You knocked her with chopsticks, "If you get cheap and sell well, it's you!" β
But Zhao Zhu didn't respond, but Xia Chuqi lowered his lips and slipped rogues, "If you don't study firearms, won't you have fun?" So we benefit from each other and benefit each other. Little grandfather, just try to give full play to the residual heat. β
He is bitter, and he can't see that others are not bitter.
Yuan Yu ate a lot of wine today, but he wasn't really drunk. He said categorically, looking very serious, but in fact, it was just to deal with the Jin prince who seemed to be forever unfazed.
"If you don't give it to the master next time, you won't give it a firearm."
ββ¦β¦β
"Brother and sister, then come and hug me?"
"Brother and sister, don't worry so much."
Xia Chuqi rolled his eyes, looked at him, and served the vegetables on duty.
The two of them had no opinion on "no up or down", and Grandpa Yuan put a chopstick dish into his mouth, but he sneered lightly, "Cousin, you don't want to talk about others." In order to develop this fire system, the master worked hard day and night, why don't you thank me? β
After a long time, he was even influenced by her, and felt that without those red tape rules, the relationship between her and her subordinates was more truly cordial, rather than afraid.
In this regard, Zhao Zhu had countless worries. But she insisted on doing so, and he gave up. As long as it is a matter in the Red Thorn Special Combat Team, no matter how big or small, he will be tossed by her. Because although she didn't say anything, he could faintly feel that this special combat team seemed to mean something different to her, maybe it was some kind of thought from the world she said.
Under the leadership of Xia Chuqi and under her influence, although the people in the special combat team strictly followed the orders, they were obviously much looser than the other escort camps in terms of dignity and humility. They usually saw their superiors, and they did not have to kneel, nor did they have to grovel, and they became completely equal.
This "no up or down" is indeed a unique "rule" of the Red Thorn Special Combat Team.
At the beginning of the summer, he was happy, but he didn't say anything.
"Didn't you teach this?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she was blinded by Zhao Zhu.
Xia Chuqi shook his head, picked up a piece of lotus root on the table, and sighed, "These bastards don't take me seriously at all. After taking the things, Xie ran away without saying a word. It's not up or down. β
Xiao Er straightened his back, saluted her again, then blinked his eyes, picked up the chicken leg and the new firecracker, and ran away.
"Yes, Captain. Guaranteed completion of the task. β
Xia Chuqi chuckled, glanced at Zhao Zhu's emotionless face, and said to Xiao Er with the corners of his lips curled, "With good things, which time is not the priority to be distributed to you?" Yesterday, the master said that the brothers in the guard battalion had opinions, saying that I was engaged in nepotism, blowing the wind on the pillow for the master, and treated them differently. So, you're going to have to give me some fight. β
"Cousin, don't bring such a hurtful person."
When Yuan Yu heard this, he burped and was not happy.
"It's such a rag that fascinates you?"
Xia Chuqi gave him a "useless" look.
"Captain, this thing, but for us?"
"The little cub of the old Meng family almost drowned in the river today, and his mother-in-law scolded him for not being at home, regardless of the children, and making a lot of trouble...... I guess I'm kneeling on the washboard at home. Xiao Er smiled, squeezed his eyes at Chu Qi, and finally looked at the new fire gun that Yuan You placed on the table with a salivating face.
"What about Lao Meng? Why didn't he come? β
Seeing that she looked like a monkey, Xia Chuqi quickly glanced at the half-drunk Yuanyou.
"Captain Xie!" Xiao Er was happy, bowed again, and saluted again, "I heard that the little grandfather came from Shanhaiguan, and Lao Meng sent me to come and have a look......"
"Take it for a refresher!"
Switching from the ancient salute to the "military salute" of the modern army, the armor and movements on his body look a little funny. But Xia Chuqi glanced at him, but he was extremely satisfied, beckoned to him happily, and handed him the chicken leg that had not been touched on the round table.
"Hello Captain!"
He is the second child of the T-shaped flag. Entering the inner room, he looked left and right, first saluted Zhao Zhu and Yuan You, said hello, and suddenly straightened his waist, and made a standard military salute to the beginning of summer.
Soon, a thin lieutenant came in with the curtain open.
A got the order to go out.
In addition to providing her with "personnel and financial support", he did not interfere with her behavior and training methods, so that she could do whatever she wanted, using postmodern military concepts to train this group of people, and after a year, it has begun to take shape.
Not only Lao Meng, but also the entire Red Thorn Special Combat Team were personally selected by Xia Chuqi. In this matter, she is very grateful to Zhao Bottle.
During the day, like most people, they farmed and cultivated the wasteland, and only at night did they secretly practice special forces skills.
A veteran who has been in the army for more than ten years, he is brave and strategic, and he is worthy of a great responsibility. She handed over the task of formation and the position of deputy captain to Lao Meng. When she was away, he led the newly built Red Thorn Special Combat Team and stationed it in the new countryside of Miaoyin Town.
Especially Lao Meng, Xia Chuqi is very optimistic about him.
Although their military rank was not high, when they arrived in Beiping, they were reused by the seventh day of the early summer. Because they all have the experience of "old red thorns", a year ago, they became the right-hand men who formed the "new red thorns".
If there is a large number of important personnel transfers, the designation can easily cause trouble. It's just that the military ranks of these people are not high, and they have not given birth to superfluous things.
The Red Thorn Special Combat Team was disbanded from the situation after Zhao Zhu's accident in Yinshan. But after arriving in Beiping, Zhao Zhu still transferred Lao Meng, Xiaoer, Xiaoliu and several T-shaped banner people who were friends with Xia Chuqi to Beiping and became the guards of the Jin Palace.
Xia Chuqi was about to send someone to help him down to rest, when the curtain moved, and Jiayi's voice came from outside, "Master, someone from Redthorn is looking for the princess." β
Yuan You was probably in a depressed mood, he ate less vegetables, but he ate wine one after another, and after an hour, his face was already flushed, half drunk and half awake.
The three of them ate and chatted, and the flask soon filled with a few empty ones.
It's just that the preparations for Peking have to be accelerated.
However, no matter what Zhao Mianze does or does, he is still the emperor now, as long as he acts within the scope of the system, it is reasonable. Zhao Zun had to act according to his orders before he was ready to really fall out with him.
But since Emperor Hong Tai was sick, it is an indisputable fact that the situation has become more and more severe. Especially this time, judging from Zhao Mianze's behavior of preparing to remove the political envoy and the commander of Beiping, he is ready to take action against Zhao Zhu. Replacing the officials under the rule of Beiping Mansion with his own people is actually an empty reign of Zhao Zhu's power in Beiping Mansion.
Therefore, according to the words of Xia Chuqi, this is also a stage of primitive capital accumulation, and a large amount of wealth is the king. Speaking of money, her goal was once again on the hidden treasure of the Yinshan Imperial Mausoleum, but every time she mentioned it, she was severely stopped by Zhao Zhu. She couldn't convince him for a while, and under the current conditions, there was no way to easily steal the imperial tomb under everyone's noses.
There are not enough silver taels, and there is no way to live with technology.
Today, the military workshop in Miaoyin Town is still in the stage where it can only be developed and cannot be mass-produced. Firearms are different from other things, every firearm, every cannon, is expensive. Even if it is the power of the imperial court, the amount is painful, not to mention the current Jin Palace.
At the dinner table, Xia Chuqi has not said anything, and Zhao Zhu and Yuan You have greeted each other. At the banquet, most of the conversations between the two of them were related to the affairs of the court and the army.
Candles were lit in the room, and food and drinks were served.
As night fell, it got darker.
Xia Chuqi could only sigh helplessly.
He smiled and said, pulled up his clothes and went out to find Zheng Erbao to add clothes. That attitude of avoidance to the left and right is clearly that he doesn't want to face the reality that Wuren Xiaoxiao is married.
"The weather in Beiping Mansion is said to be no colder than Shanhaiguan, but why do I feel colder? Tut! It's cold to death. β
Zhao Zhu was silent, and at the beginning of the summer, his mouth was dry, and he no longer spoke. It wasn't until Zheng Erbao and Qinglan came in to set up the table, put the wine and food, and invited them to the table for dinner, that Yuan You seemed to come back to his senses, raised his wine glass and drank it all, and laughed out loud.
The three of them faced each other, and the air froze for a moment.
After saying it for a long time, Yuan You's face was extremely ugly, but his eyes were always on the water of the tea cup without the slightest ripple, and his eyes were empty, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.
Xia Chuqi glanced at him and continued, "However, although you can't go back, you can learn a lesson from this incident, whether you marry or take a concubine in the future, if you really like a girl, make things look better and be a little measured, so as not to regret it once, and regret it every time." β
Her words hit the nail on the head, and every word was sharp. As if cutting Yuan Yu's heart, his handsome face, which was always lazy and comfortable, was frozen in the air and did not move for a long time.
"But cousin, you have to know that not everything in this world can be made up for afterwards. You and Wuren can't go back. β
He also remembered the sound of the flute on the Purple Mountain, and the girl who spread out under the vast white snow and let him demand too much. The snow that night was so heavy, and the wedding dress on her body was so red.
He remembered that snowy night. She asked him, "Yuanyu, do you love me?" The kind of love in your heart? β
His face turned pale.
Yuan Yu seemed to have been struck by lightning, and he didn't even know that the water in his hands was spilled.
"Poison is the cure for disease! Haven't heard of it? Better a finger off than always aching. Xia Chuqi looked at him, glanced at Zhao Zhu with a gloomy face, and asked with a smile, "Cousin, a few days ago, I told a story to the children in Miaoyin Town. The Supreme Treasure in the story said: 'There was once a sincere feeling in front of me, but I didn't cherish it properly, and I regretted it until I lost it! There is nothing more painful in the world than this. If God could give me another chance, I would say three words to that girl, I love you! Are you still struggling with it? β
After a while, he shook his head and sighed dissatisfiedly, "Cousin, your temperament has really been the same for several years...... Poison. β
Won-woo's smile stiffened on his face.
If the wound is rotten on the inside, and the rotten flesh is not removed, it will never heal. If it is removed, it will definitely cause pain in the flesh and skin, and the skin and tendons. But if it hurts left and right, why not cut through the mess quickly?
Speaking without revealing people's shortness is a good quality that is always maintained at the beginning of the summer. But looking at such Yuan You, watching him come from Shanhaiguan every time, between the lines, all of them wanted to inquire about the news of Wuren Xiaoxiao, and the look of drinking to quench her thirst made her anxious.
"Don't talk about the emperor, your little grandfather Yuan has tossed all these years, hasn't he tossed a son and a half daughter? According to me, don't laugh at a hundred steps after fifty steps, the woman your little grandfather passes by is probably no less than his emperor, right? β
After a moment of silence, Xia Chuqi looked into his eyes and curled his lips and smiled.
His tone was light, and he looked like a bystander chatting, but Xia Chuqi just felt that the gloom between his eyebrows was clearly the dying struggle of a seriously injured patient. On the one hand, he wanted to get rid of the shackles of the heart, but he felt like he had fallen into a swamp - the more he struggled, the deeper he sank.
"Strange to say! Our emperor, with a harem of 3,000 and countless beauties, has been tossing for all these years, but he has no son and half a daughter. It's really rare. β
She thought that Yuan Yu would be entangled in this matter all the time and kept asking. But he didn't want to, he didn't care at all, picked up the teacup, gently blew the water, and the curvature of the corners of his lips did not reduce the slightest smile.
After a while, seeing that Zhao Zhu didn't say anything, she gently straightened her clothes, refilled the water into his and Yuan You's teacups, and chuckled: "This is all a matter of two months, you don't mention it, forget it." β
The last time Yuan You came from Shanhaiguan, they may not have told him about it, and they didn't want to increase his troubles in vain, but the result was really in response to that sentence - good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. After two months of twisting and turning, he still knew.
In the past year, Zhao Mianze's harem has been full of flowers. It is rumored that there are two pregnant concubines in addition to Wuren Xiaoxiao. But none of them were spared, and the fetus slipped before it was three months old.
Although they are now in Beiping Mansion, Zhao Zun can still be deaf and clear about the big and small things in the capital. At this point, Xia Chuqi really admires him, in an era where there is no phone and no Internet, it is really not easy.
Wu Ren Xiaoxiao's miscarriage, Xia Chuqi and Zhao Zhu knew about it.
