Chapter 147
One trip and one letter, the family letter was sent from the capital to Hexian, and then from Hexian back to the capital.
This year, the border pass was broken by the Turks, and it also involved the affairs of Linxian County, and the impact on the capital was not deep, and after a few months, the people who still remembered this matter were only some people who were in high positions and in the court. If you have relatives in Hexian County, the rest will only be left to talk about people on the streets and alleys after tea and dinner.
In Lanzhou, Suzhou and other places, there are still a small number of people who originally hid there in Hexian and Dexian counties to avoid chaos, and they are put here in the capital - that is, to visit relatives and friends, and few people in those places have relatives in Beijing.
When the golden autumn was fragrant, Han Yu brewed jars of fruit wine in Baifu. This kind of wine doesn't need to be left for a long time, just drink a sweet fruit. But if this fruit wine is really left under the flower tree for a long time, it doesn't hurt, and the longer it is placed, the more mellow it becomes, but unfortunately, the longer it is placed, the less it will be left.
Gan's words were said that day, Han Yu naturally didn't do anything anymore, after brewing some more, he left some less, and took two jars to ask Gan's, and her mother-in-law was interested together, so she really asked the girls to dig a pit in the garden behind.
In addition to these wines, the chili sauce that Han Xiao and Han Xiao pondered together has now become a must-have for the Han family's daughters to visit relatives and friends to send New Year's goods.
Not to mention the relatives and friends who are close to the capital and are in the same capital, even Li Yun, a friend who married away from afar, writes a letter to Beijing every time, and asks Han Yun for that line by name.
Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, Bai Anheng's return to Beijing to report on his work is also in the near future. The whole Baifu was beaming. Although only one of the two masters who went out to work this time came back, but in the end they haven't seen each other for three years, the old man and lady above are happy, and the people are naturally busy with them, and everyone has a smile on their faces.
Speaking of which, although Uncle Bai Anyu said that he was afraid that he would not be able to come back at the end of this year, but seeing that the movement of the war in Dexian County was becoming less and less, he must have surrendered the Turkic soldiers outside the territory, and the day when he returned to Beijing was approaching.
"When will that kid leave?" In the Han Mansion, Han Yu went back to his parents' house to visit his mother, and Jiang asked with concern when he mentioned his son-in-law.
"It is said that he will leave on the third day of the first month of next month, and he will be able to enter Beijing before the end of the year." Fortunately, because he had already brought a lot of people and things with him when he came back, Bai Anheng got up and went back to Beijing this time, except for those who were stupid and didn't have to bring them, there were not many things left.
"That's it." Jiang patted his chest and said with a smile, "In the past few years, just the matter of the two of you has tossed my heartbeat fast and slow, if I stay in that place for a few more years, maybe I will be scared to death by you first!" ”
Han Xiao laughed: "It's just that we bumped into each other, there are so many officials in this world, there are many people who are outside the country, and there are many people guarding the border gates, aren't others doing the same?" It just depends on who encounters such things. ”
Jiang Shi sighed and shook his head: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, these things, we can only hope that you don't encounter them, other than that, there is really no good way." ”
As the mother and daughter were talking, a string of bell-like laughter floated in the yard, crisp.
Jiang Shi pointed out the window and smiled: "Your fourth sister doesn't know what to do, listen to her movements?" Can you look like a lady? ”
Han Zhen looked at the door with a smile, at this time Han Zhen had already run in, and while running, he was panting: "Second sister, your sister Yuan is really fun, just now I teased her with a cloth fish, and hid it behind her, she couldn't find it, and she stared at me for a long time, and she started crying with a pout." But she only pretended to cry, but she didn't drop the golden tus, and when she saw that I still didn't give it to her, she turned around and took out the purse I gave her before, and she had to exchange it with me! ”
Before Han Yu could speak, Jiang Shi said with a headache: "Running to provoke your nephew's daughter, you are embarrassed to say it." How old are you? How old is she? There are still two years to talk about people, and they are still like children! ”
Hearing Jiang talk about this, Han Qian immediately blushed, pulled her sleeve and said, "I won't get married, I want to accompany my father and mother for the rest of my life!" ”
"Nonsense again? Really accompany us for a lifetime, and you don't have to be a human being. After that, I saw Han Qian sticking out his tongue and running out of the house again, shouting: "There are good flowers blooming in the greenhouse, cut two branches for Sister Yuan'er......"
Pointing to the side room, Jiang had a headache and said, "Tell me who she looks like?" You two sisters are so calm and temperamental, how did you end up like this with her? ”
Han Xiao smiled and said: "The fourth sister is innocent, if they are all like us, who can make my mother happy?" ”
Sighing, Jiang replied: "Your third sister has a body again, but have you been to see it?" ”
"I just went there before, speaking of which, the fifth prince really loves her." Who has heard of which princess can give birth one after another? Now Han Xiao can be like this, right?

On the way to Beijing, there was a huge row of cars.
Bai Anheng's convoy is one of them, his own subordinates are guarded, and there are also some guards dressed as guards.
On this sparsely populated official road, people travel and travel together. Although Bai Anheng and their team are obviously official eunuchs, it is impossible for others to really walk with them, but they are not too far away.
There are those who enter Beijing to visit relatives, the commercial houses that escort goods, the dart bureau, etc., some of them are added in halfway, and some of them are traveling from the vicinity of Hexian, and there are seven or eight branches on the road in just one section, and there are a lot of them, and a large number of them are pulled out on the official road. And that's not even counting the people who walked.
The car swayed, and the wind outside made the curtains hanging outside the car crackle.
"It's good that it hasn't snowed this year." Lifting the curtain on the side of the car window, Bai Anheng glanced outside, and saw that the sky was blue and blue, and there was no trace of clouds, so he was relieved.
"It rained too much in the past few years, even in previous years, there was not so much snow in the northwest."
Glancing at his eldest brother sitting beside him, Bai Anheng smiled and said: "This is really the emperor's blessings, if there were no snow, the Turks would not have been forced here." ”
Bai Anyu smiled faintly: "Zhuang Ru, their methods are too ruthless, otherwise, the Turks will not fight to the death." ”
"By the way, what about the Turkic princes and ladies you caught?" Wu Qiran took Bai Anyu and them out of the customs several times, and swept the northwest back and forth a few times, the Turkic king was killed in battle, and the old and young women and children in the family were all caught, but the news was not transmitted back to Beijing with great fanfare.
"It also depends on the emperor's meaning, originally that incident was the credit of General Wu's proposition." The emperor's original secret decree did not ask them to raid the Turks' nest, but only told them to find a place to hang out for four or five months, but who told Wu Qiran to stay in Beijing for too long, for fear that he would not have a chance to get out of the customs in his life after returning to Beijing? Don't you spread out and look for a battle outside?
This is because of the emperor's will, otherwise, I am afraid that he will dare to lead men and horses to kill the mountain and beat the Hu people on the other side of the mountain!
Bai Anheng knew a little bit, and smiled when he heard this: "General Wu's achievements this time are not small, but it's a pity that the time is not very suitable, otherwise, his title will rise again." The family's house is about to expand again. ”
"General Wu doesn't care about that." Bai Anxi smiled faintly.
Bai Anheng nodded: "This is nature." "People who just look at him and hope that something will go wrong think he will like it.
The convoy traveled through Lanzhou and headed towards Suzhou, because there were many people, and everyone either rested on the side of the road along the way, or met the city to rest for half a day and a night.
It wasn't until mid-November that the carriage and horses arrived in a small town in Suzhou, and at night, the two brothers rested in the same room, when they suddenly heard a commotion outside-"Catch the thief!" ”

The days are waiting, waiting, looking forward to it. The more he got to the end of the year, the more uncomfortable Han Xiao became. Don't say it's her, even Gan's is average, among the children, the youngest Brother Shun also secretly pulls Brother Jian, who is usually taken by the little uncle and pretends to be a little master, just like Brother Shun, and secretly muttered about what flowers are put away during the New Year every year? What's the fun? What do you eat, play, and use in the market outside?
The chickens, ducks, and fish are all prepared at home, and the water tank in the kitchen is next to the stove, and there are fresh live fish in it, and the dishes in the cellar are very well hidden, and they are not much fresher than those in season.
The days for visiting relatives and friends in the new year have been set, and the recipes for the family banquet have all been discussed.
Early this morning, Han Yu got up early in the morning and arrived at the door of the main house where Gan was located. Not long after she arrived, the sister-in-law Wang and her cousin-in-law Wu also came - the second room Zhou is still paralyzed in bed, and the second room was simply merged with the big room during the New Year.
Fortunately, without the Zhou family, even if the two people get together for the New Year's banquet, it is extremely harmonious.
A few concubines saw each other, and each got up to say hello and sat down.
"I told them to go to the gate of the city early this morning, but I don't know how soon they will be able to enter the city." Gan's face was smiling and a little apprehensive, and his eyes looked in the direction of the door from time to time.
"Mother is not in a hurry, even if she enters the city, the second master has to go to the palace to greet the emperor before he can come back." Han Xiao hurriedly persuaded with a smile.
"Alas, my mother is worried, this heart can't be let go sooner or later."
As he was sighing, someone from outside suddenly reported: "Enter the city, enter the city!" The second master, his carriage and horse have entered the city! ”
"Hurry, hurry up and greet you!"
Although all the women didn't expect Bai Anheng and them to enter the city so quickly, the clothes and other things were prepared early. Hearing this, he hurriedly took the cloak and clothes handed over by the girl, put them on, and helped Gan to walk out.
At the second gate, a car stopped, although he knew that Bai Anheng was afraid that he had gone to the palace, but Gan's heart was anxious, even if he first looked at the servant woman who came back with the car and asked about the situation?
Just thinking about it, everyone had already arrived at the second gate, and Gan asked on the side: "Where is your second master?" Where are people now? "One side walks out.
Several cars wrapped in green cloth stopped at the door, and the first one opened the curtain and stretched out a hand. When Han Yu saw that hand, he couldn't help but be stunned - slender and white, it was clearly a young daughter's hand?
Immediately, a young woman with black hair got out of the car, raised her eyes and looked around, saw Gan Shi and the others, smiled shyly, and a pair of red clouds on her face quietly climbed up.
Seeing the people in the car clearly, Han Yu's face turned pale, and he almost screamed - Aunt Yang?!
