Chapter 115
Earlier than the news in Beijing, such as Zhao Rulan's birth of a child, it was the Turkic knocking on the border from Dexian.
It's time for the autumn harvest, and it's busy everywhere. A few days ago, Han Yu was ordering the servant woman at home to brew this year's fruit wine, and he heard the news before, saying that it was news from Dexian County, and the Turks knocked on the side the night before.
Because they hear this kind of news almost every year, except for people like Han Yu who have just come for the first year, most of them are very calm - it is just fighting the autumn wind and attacking a few villages that have just received food, and when they take away food and drink, this year will be considered over.
Han Xiao was not so relaxed in her heart, she was still thinking about the time she had heard about it in her previous life, for fear that what if it was advanced? After all, it was not his husband and wife who came to Hexian in his last life.
"Ma'am, the wine is hidden. The peppers delivered today have all been collected and stored in the yard. β
Listening to the people's back and forth, Han Xiao thought for a while: "Tell them to make the collected peanuts, sesame seeds, mushrooms and other things together, and the peppers will be dried first, and then they will be made in two days." β
When he first arrived in Hexian, Han Yu bought a few acres of land and asked people to plant the pepper seeds he brought from Beijing. This line grows fast, and it doesn't pick a place too much, even if the land here in Hexian County is a little barren, it can also grow well. Now that I have received it, it is just used here by Han Yu as a tuyi ceremony.
This chili sauce pondered by Han Xiao has become a common thing for the Han family to give gifts, just like the Jiang family's fruit wine back then. Now that I'm in Hexian, sending some of this during the New Year also seems a bit new, which is not available elsewhere.
After explaining the affairs of the family, Han Xiaofang went back to the back room to rest with his stomach, Bai Anheng has been busy again in the past two days, he has been out since the day before yesterday, and he has not come back today. Because he got the emperor's will in the early spring, he wanted to plant corn and other things, and this time he went down to see how the harvest was - he had only received a report from the bottom before, and he had been busy, and he couldn't spare any time to take a closer look, and now he just went down to take a walk.
As for the affairs of the government, the two masters who stayed behind were temporarily waiting for work.
Two days later, the letter from Jingzhong was finally delivered to Hexian. Han Xiao instructed someone to turn over the dried chili peppers, and sat on the kang with the letter in his hand and looked at it.
Mother's, mother-in-law's, Han Xiao's, and ...... Zhao Rulan's?
Zhao Rulan's child has been born, and gifts have already been prepared at home, but the old lady of the Song family died, and Song Yuci helped the coffin to return to her hometown...... What's going on here?!
His eyes widened in astonishment, and he looked at the words on the letter several times, but he couldn't figure out how the old lady died. I had to open Han Xiao's letter again, and then read the letters between my mother and mother-in-law, so I barely figured it out - although a few of them only mentioned it in a half-sentence, but Han Xiao knew the person who knew Song Xiao's mother, and she naturally understood what was going on with her - she was just angry.
Song Mu's popularity is high, the shelves are big, the face is heavy, but the background is too low. The emperor's will, for her, is simply tearing her face, that is, killing her. But that person is the emperor, if Zhao Rulan told her in person, she could still scold and get angry. But if the emperor decrees, it will be a final conclusion, so ...... She had to be "".
After reading these letters with some amazement in his heart, Han Xiao closed his eyes and leaned on the soft pillow behind him. In the most difficult time of her previous life, although she didn't say it, she could only use it in her heart: "She is older than herself, and she suffered when she was young, and she is afraid that she will walk ahead of herself, and when the time comes, she will come out."
But if you want to boil, how can it be so easy? She has been pampered for so many years, and an illness and a bowl of medicine have come to her in the end. In this life, she was replaced by Zhao Rulan, and she really walked out of a completely different path. It's also a shame that she can figure it out, and it's even more fortunate that she has the emperor in charge, otherwise if she is replaced by someone else, she is afraid of falling into the name of disrespectful mother-in-law's unfilial piety, even if she is divorced, it is also very likely.
The affairs of the Song family made Han Xiao melancholy for a while, and then he was thrown aside. Along with the other letters, I just waited for Bai Anheng to come back from the village and read them with him.
Called the little girl, let me take the chili peppers hanging outside, and see that they were almost dry, and then ordered: "Tell the kitchen, try to make it with meat this time, and see if it can be saved?" That's what I said last time. β
The little girl went down in response, and walked back with Xia Cicada who hugged Xue Tuan'er out of the sun to bask in the sun, put Xue Tuan'er on the bed, and said with a smile: "Brother Shun was playing outside just now, and I saw the chili peppers hanging from a distance, so I was going to grab them and put them in my mouth. That is, Brother Shun is good-tempered, and he doesn't cry, he rolls on the ground with Xuetuan'er, and he can't laugh. β
Han Xiao was stunned for a moment, and also laughed: "Did you touch it?" Why didn't you see him coming? β
"I changed my clothes, and scared those nurses so much that I couldn't do it, and the slaves and maids saw that there was nothing to do, so they asked them to go and serve Brother Shun first, and come and talk to you."
Han Xiao shook his head, hugged his son in the end, and looked at it carefully, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"It's okay for a child to fall and beat, just be careful and don't let him go to a place where there are rocks and are too hard." Children, especially boys, can have a long memory if they don't fall? This is also what the family knew when they first saw their mother raising Brother Zheng as a child, and when they heard that Han Sheng was thrown even worse when he was a child, Jiang sat on the side and watched at that time, and he was not allowed to be helped, telling him to get up by himself.
I am not as strict as my mother, but I also know that boys can't be too delicate.
When Brother Shun saw Xue Tuan'er, he struggled to get on the kang, and the little man went up, so he didn't walk anymore, climbed into the kang a few times, sat next to Xue Tuan'er, and went to follow its Mao'er.
"You are close to it, and even your father and mother have been thrown aside." Han Xiao smiled and touched Brother Shun'er's hair, and it was soft and thin.
Bai Anheng has been absent for the past few days, and with Brother Shun by his side, it is not like when he first came to Hexian, his heart is empty, and he is uncomfortable without scratching or scratching. Sure enough, it is enough for a woman to have a husband and children.

Cheng Ze sat in front of the case, frowning and pondering, he had been in the county with Lord Bai for more than a day, and the paper and ink on the case were just to give the emperor's secret report.
Since the last time I checked the direction of those grains with Zhao, Zheng and others, this matter has become more and more weird.
First of all, it was found out openly and secretly that the grain seemed to be sent to Lanzhouβand not only in the past two years. Later, Fang Delong and Wang Anqi were transferred back from him and sent to Lanzhou, and they found the dark army along the way.
Then, Jiang Zhe returned to Beijing and sent a secret report to the emperor in Beijing, and then ...... The emperor was furious and ordered himself to help find out the matter. And now......
Pressing his forehead weakly, Cheng Ze vaguely felt that he was afraid that he would fall into the pit for this.
Bai Anheng is the person of the Five Princes, and so is Jiang Zhe, and both of them are standing with the Five Princes openly, who in the court does not know the way?
The soldiers and horses, as soon as he knew that there was such a team, he vaguely felt that this matter was inseparable from the eldest prince. Now, should it be said that this is the case?
Looking back and thinking about it, this time, Jiang Zhe came by coincidence, Bai Anheng ordered someone to check the whereabouts of the grain, and Fang Delong recognized that Hu Hao was even more coincidental...... Naturally, this matter should be true, but whether it is the fifth prince or not, they have long known that there is such a thing in the Dao, so they deliberately arranged such a ...... No one knows what to do.
That's it, the emperor ordered him to report the truth no matter what the result was, and he was also going to report it according to the truth. The Great Prince and the Fifth Prince...... Hehe, anyway, since the emperor sent himself to Bai Anheng to help him, he has already been on the ship of the fifth prince.

The bright and secret twists and turns were sent to the capital one after another, and the emperor's case was piled up like snowflakes.
The face was gloomy, one by one, I opened the envelope, I looked at this and that, and saw the good news of Dexian, after the emperor opened it expressionlessly, he glanced at them one by one - there is Dexian County, the Turks knocked on the border several times, because the army has been prepared, and the people in the villages near it have been emptied, and the grain that can be transported and those that cannot be transported are simply burned with a fire, so this time it is considered a good news.
Although the Turks did not catch a few, they did not let them fall well, let alone ask them to grab food......
The emperor raised his hand to his forehead and sighed lightly. Today, under the court, all the courtiers praised the soldiers guarding the border for their courage and resourcefulness...... But this kind of good news...... Child, child...... Don't you disappoint your father......
His subordinates unconsciously pinched one of the secret reports, which was sent from Hexian. Two days ago, I also received these secret letters, and these letters were written in the same way as the previous ones.
His eyes sank again, and suddenly there was a sense of powerlessness in his heart, and his sons were all bigger, and their hearts were bigger...... No longer satisfied with the path that his father arranged for them, they want to earn and grab the ...... by themselves
There was another light sigh, and the little eunuchs who were guarding the door shrank their necks one after another, and they didn't dare to take a breath.

Receiving the results of the first three trial corn plantings, Bai Anheng breathed a sigh of relief. Although I have been going to these three places for a while these days, I am still running around for the military horse at the intersection of Lanzhou and Hexian.
The emperor made a decree and asked the secret guards sent by him to investigate the matter together. It's the same, this centaur is within the border of Lanzhou, saying that they don't know? Even a three-year-old child couldn't believe it.
The emperor doesn't believe the people in Lanzhou, so he can only let himself help find out together?
This is the only thing, and if the result comes out, it will be a big deal.
Leaving all these annoying things behind, Bai Anheng got up and went home. The front and back are very close, but the kung fu of walking, a few small guys carrying things and holding lamps. It's getting dark, but it's time to turn on the lights.
Two bright eyes looked down from the wall, and when they saw Bai Anheng and they came back, the white little thing jumped down, ran to Bai Anheng in a few steps, and asked him to take him back.
"Where did you go today? Did you get dirty? Since he found himself coming back from this door, Xue Tuan would squat here from time to time when he was about to go home, waiting for himself to carry the old man back inside.
