Chapter 246

'P'**WXC'P''P'**WXC'P' Yulan ordered: "You simply clean up, and tomorrow you will be on duty in the eldest young master's house." Look at the latest novel on the -_-!Le-_-!Wen-_-!Small-_-!say-_-!.net (◎ww◎w.l◎w◎x◎s◎.o◎r◎g◎) URL remember to remove ◎ Oh dear" Although she is not too satisfied with Qiuhe, she wants to come to listen to the incense is not good in these few days, and when the incense comes back, she has to ask the incense to wait for Ye Minwen closely.

If Qiu He waited well, Yulan would find her an errand by Ye Minwen's side, but she didn't plan to take Qiu He down. With someone in the palm of her hand by Ye Minwen's side, she can really put her mind at ease.

Specifically, we have to look at Qiu He's performance.

Yulan instructed a few more words and asked her to be an errand by Ye Minwen's side. After saying this, Yulan was really tired, so he served tea. The so-called serving tea to send off guests, Qiu He is very eye-catching, knows the meaning of Yulan, kneels down and kowtows to Yulan, and turns out of the main room.

Mother Qian also came out with her. She knows Yulan's thoughts, Ye Minwen is the top priority of this family, Yulan is now presiding over the feed, and no one can make Ye Minwen have an accident if something happens. That's why she attaches so much importance to it.

Mother Qian took Qiu He to her own residence in the back cover room again, and said that she was killed.

The next day, when Ye Minwen came to say goodbye, Yulan saw Qiu He change into a water-red armor and follow Ye Minwen. Yulan issued a unified "uniform" to the maids in her yard, and the maids around Ye Minwen were all uniformly wearing water-red bichia, and the goose-yellow bijia on her side made people know at a glance which house Lu Dao was working in.

It's clear who to turn to.

Ye Minwen smiled, Yulan knew that this morning it was Qiuhe who was waiting for him to dress and eat, and looking at him, Yulan let go of his worries slightly.

pulled Ye Minwen and talked for a while, and Yulan asked the nurse to take him out of the stubbornness. As soon as Ye Minwen came out, Ye Yichen picked a curtain and came in.

Yulan hurriedly greeted him: "Lord Wang, why did you come back so early!" ”

Ye Yichen gets up before dawn every day, either to go to the court, or to the yamen. Because Yulan was pregnant, she felt a lot, Ye Yichen was reluctant to quarrel with her, and now the two of them couldn't eat breakfast together.

Ye Yichen called the maid in, took off his official robe, and went behind the screen to change into an indigo regular dress, the little maid served tea, he sat on the couch with Yulan's hand, and first asked her: "Did the one in the stomach trouble you today?" ”

Yulan said: "Not today. After three months, she felt that the turbidity in her chest had dissipated a lot, and now she vomited less and her spirit improved, but she was still sleepy.

Ye Yichen reached out and touched Yulan's lower abdomen through his clothes, and the lines on his face softened: "This kid must be born naughty in the future." As soon as I get on my body, I just toss you like this! ”

Yulan also showed a very gentle look on her face: "Whether she is naughty or not, she is always our child, and we always have to hurt him!" ”

Ye Yichen smiled: "I naturally want to hurt him." After a pause, he said: "If you give birth to a son, you must be as heroic as me, and if you give birth to a daughter, you will be as beautiful and dignified as you!" ”

Yulan made Ye Yichen blush. Ye Yichen Road; "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent me something good, I'll take you to see it later!"

Yulan saw that his expression was a little excited, so he asked strangely, "What's the matter, Lord Wang?" "He's not a moody person.

Ye Yichen smiled and rubbed her head: "You'll know the Tao later!" "Sold it to her.

It made Yulan's curiosity flourish. After a while, Chengying came in to report: "Lord Wang, the things have been brought in." ”

Ye Yichen was in a very good mood, and pulled her to stand up: "You go and change your clothes, I'll take you to the outer courtyard to have a look!" ”

Yulan called the maid in and helped her change her clothes, because she was going to the outer courtyard, Yulan asked someone to prepare a hat and belt.

When she cleaned up, Ye Yichen took her hand out of the main courtyard, Ye Yichen only brought Chengying, and Yulan only took Xiaoyue.

The weather was fine, Yulan was reluctant to take the car, so Ye Yichen accompanied her all the way. In March, the peach blossoms gradually bloom, the breeze blows, and the fragrance of peach blossoms wafts from nowhere. Yulan followed the prince and listened to him say some interesting things about the previous dynasty, and he was in a trance for a while, and he felt a little unsure of what time it was.

If only time could be frozen in this moment forever!

The two of them went out of Yimen, the terrain of the outer courtyard was not very familiar, Ye Yichen pulled her to turn east and west, and came to a courtyard in the northeast corner.

There were two neatly draped guards guarding the gate of the courtyard, holding spears, and Yulan was taken aback when she saw this frame. I don't know what the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent from the Ludao Internal Affairs Office, is it a rare treasure? Otherwise, Ye Yichen would not have sent someone to guard him, looking like he was well guarded.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Yulan exclaimed. I saw four cages open in a row in the courtyard, and in each cage there was a wolf with a green glow in its eyes, two white, one yellow, and one brownish-yellow.

"This ...... This...... That's what the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent you a good thing about? Yulan was a little speechless. The Internal Affairs Mansion is managed by Ye Minzhao, does Ye Minzhao want to ask the prince to open a zoo in the Jin Palace?

Ye Yichen smiled and patted Yulan's shoulder: "Don't be afraid, these prairie wolves' cages are well closed, and they won't break out and hurt people!" ”

Yulan went to the zoo a lot in her previous life. Especially when her little nephew grew up to the age of Ye Minwen, his favorite place to go was the zoo. Not to mention wolves, tigers, lions, black bears, she has seen a lot. If you watch it too much, you will naturally get used to it, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

She said, "I'm not afraid! As he spoke, he looked curiously at the four steppe wolves. They lay in the cage, too lazy to move, and Yulan didn't hear them call for a long time. Only occasionally raised his head, and the fierce and cunning light in his eyes made people's hearts tremble.

It is obviously not the same as the wolf raised in a cage in a zoo in the previous life.

Yulan asked curiously: "I heard that King Zhao likes to boil eagles and raise dogs the most, does the prince also have this hobby?" "I haven't heard of it.

Ye Yichen smiled and patted her head. "You don't know what to do...... The king of the eagle has also been raised, but it is not used to be stubborn, the best falcon is domesticated, it is extremely humane, not only can attack the enemy, but more importantly, it can spy on intelligence. They are more loyal than people, once I fell into the surround of the outbursts, in order to save me, the Hai Dongqing, whom I had spent countless efforts to train, rushed to the enemy, scratched him in one eye, and it was also stabbed to death by the outburst soldiers! There was a bit of abruptness in his tone.

Yulan then understood, no wonder whether it is Mobei or Beijing, the generals generally like to play eagles, it turns out that the role of this eagle is not only fun, it is an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft!

"Lord Wang, don't be sad!" Yulan hurriedly appeased Ye Yichen. "Why don't we find a place to immediately monument your eagle as a memorial!"

Ye Yichen smiled: "Whimsical! ”

Yulan stuck out her tongue.

Ye Yichen said: "This is not an ordinary wolf. This is the steppe wolf. Only produced in the Mobei grassland, they are alert, suspicious, cunning and brave, and full of wisdom! The steppe wolf is the totem of the whole Abrupt Man! It has a supreme position in the hearts of abrupt people. ”

The people on the grassland use the wolf as a totem, and she knows this. Since it is a totem, of course it is sacrosanct, and Yulan suddenly understood a little. "Could it be that this wolf came as a tribute from the Sudden Ones?"

Ye Yichen saw that she was so smart, and she knew the elegance when she heard the string song, and her heart was very ironing. "That's right, these four steppe wolves are from the Arut tribe."

The Arut tribe borders Dachu and is one of the eight major tribes of the steppe, and its strength is very strong.

Yulan muttered, "The wolf is the totem of the abrupt man. The Turbulent people regard the steppe wolf as more important than their own lives, and the Arut Ministry is willing to sacrifice the totem, which means that it ...... The Arut tribe completely surrendered to the Great Chu? ”

Ye Yichen smiled and nodded; "Exactly!" Since Zuo Yan died in Da Chu, under Ye Yichen's intentional instigation, the grassland has been divided and attacked each other. Arut was sandwiched between the Great Chu and another large tribe, the Hawk Tribe, and was under attack.

In addition, at Ye Yichen's suggestion, the two sides opened border trade, and after the "mutual market", the goods of the Central Plains continued to pour into the grassland, which greatly improved their lives and even changed their way of living to some extent. The Arut Ministry relied more and more heavily on the imperial court.

Recently, there was a big battle between the Arut Department and the Hawke Ministry, and the Alut Department was defeated, so they sent people to ask Da Chu for help, and Da Chu's condition was that it was okay to send troops, but you had to submit to the imperial court.

The Arut Ministry had no choice but to agree. And he sent a steppe wolf that represents great significance to express complete surrender.

In the past, even if the various tribes of Tuwu accepted the canonization of Great Chu, it was the relationship between the suzerainty and the vassal state, but it was different when they returned to the imperial court. In the past, it could be said that there were two countries, but now the territory of the Arut tribe will be regarded as the territory of Great Chu.

No wonder Ye Yichen was so happy. Expanding the territory is not an ordinary merit, which emperor has such a feat, and it is necessary to write a special book in the history books.

Even the dynasties that were very prosperous before the Great Chu never really ruled Mobei. Da Chu, at least had a good start.

Yulan knew that Ye Yichen's greatest wish was not to be the emperor, but to fulfill Taizu's unfulfilled last wish: to destroy Shu Han and unify the Central Plains.

Yulan smiled and said, "It's all the result of the prince's strategy!" Yulan didn't have the slightest compliment in it. Ye Yichen proved with facts the correctness of his policy towards the Sudden People. That is: divide and strike, gradually encroach!

Sometimes a correct strategy is more effective than a thousand troops.

Ye Yichen showed a hint of excitement on his face: "Sooner or later, one day, I will include all the thousands of miles of territory in Mobei into the territory of Great Chu!" ”

Ye Yichen pulled Yulan to express her ambition for a while, and then let Xiaoyue help her back to the room. He went to the outer study. He also had to consult with his aides on the Arut tribe.

Yulan returned to the main room, still feeling emotion in her heart. A rich country strengthens its soldiers, and only when a country is rich can soldiers be strong. Now that the treasury is empty, there are still a lot of internal and external troubles in Great Chu, in the final analysis, the rulers of this empire are incapable, if it is replaced by Ye Yichen, or, he can really do what he said, and completely incorporate the entire Mobei into the territory of Great Chu!

Shouldn't I carry forward the spirit of putting public before private and support Ye Yichen's rebellion?

Yulan made up for a long time, and after the most thought, it was better to give birth to the child first! She doesn't want to care about men's affairs, and she can't take care of them.

Qiu He got off duty, came out of Ye Minwen's house, returned to the back room of the main courtyard, and all the little girls who saw her greeted her courteously along the way.

Since she entered Ye Minwen's house and waited closely, her value immediately rose. Many big maids and housekeepers who didn't care about her in the past came to make friends with her. She remembered Yulan's instructions, didn't dare to raise her tail too high, and entered her room, and Qiu Ju, another third-class maid in the same room, immediately greeted her warmly. And he brought out the yam cake and gave it to her.

"It was left to me by my mother in the kitchen, and I thought that my sister was busy waiting for the eldest young master, so she shouldn't have eaten yet. The ...... specially left for her sister "Because she is a third-class maid, she is not like Xiaoyue and Xiaoyu, one person in one room."

Qiu He laughed secretly in her heart, in the past, Qiu Ju saw that she was not reused, relying on the fact that she was the daughter of Lai's mother in the kitchen, and she was arrogant to her, but now she is so stubborn to her. It's not that I see the princess value herself!

These villains who are high and low!

She made up her mind that she must wait for the eldest young master, even if she came back, she would definitely ask the princess to leave herself by the eldest young master's side.

She took Qiu Ju's yam cake with a smile, and said with a smile: "Sister Xie Luxie, you can remember your sister like this, my sister is grateful!" ”

As he was talking, a little maid outside who didn't have a head called in the yard: "Is Sister Qiuhe here?" ”

"What's the matter?" Qiu He put the yam cake on the plate after eating a small bite, tidied up his clothes, and walked out.

The little maid saw Qiu He come out, and stepped forward to give a blessing: "Sister Qiu He, Mother Wang, who is guarding the door outside, asked me to tell you, there is a person named Li Dachuan looking for you!" It's waiting for you right outside! ”

Qiu He was taken aback. Li Dachuan is one of her uncles, when her family was in the Yang Mansion, they were not very good, Li Dachuan and her family had no contact, and later heard that their family was the princess's companion, so they came to give gifts and walked around with their family again.

What is he looking for at this time?

Qiuhe returned to the house and grabbed a handful of candy and gave it to the little girl: "You go and talk to the mother who guards the door, I'll change my clothes and go over!" ”

The little maid got the candy and went happily. Qiu He went back to the house to change clothes, and after talking to Qiu Ju, he went out to see his uncle.

Qiu Ju saw the yam cake on the plate that she had only eaten one bite, she was envious and jealous, and couldn't help but take a sip: "Isn't it just that you are the princess's companion, and you really regard yourself as a first-class and second-class girl!" Thinking of her mother's thousands of instructions to have a good relationship with Qiuhe, she was discouraged for no reason.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel melancholy. I, a third-class maid, still went a lot of ways because my mother was a housekeeper in the kitchen. But she could only wait for tea in the flower hall in the outer courtyard, and Qiu He's errand at the beginning was not as good as herself, just because she was the princess's companion, she was arranged to the eldest young master's side.

It would be nice if I were the princess's companion.

Qiu Ju was thinking nonsense, and Qiu He came back after a while. Qiu He saw that her face was slightly pale, and her expression was very unnatural. Thinking of my mother's instructions, I hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sister, I'm a little uncomfortable, I have a bottle of Pingqi Pill there, the effect is very good, do you want me to find out and use one for you?" ”

Qiu He shook his head: "Xie Lu Xie!" No, I'll just lie down. ”

Ignoring Qiu Ju anymore, he turned over on the bed and put down the bed again.

Qiu Ju pursed her mouth, her time on duty was almost up, so she went out to the flower hall in the outer courtyard. Qiu He heard her leave, hurriedly got out of bed, and took out a bright gold ingot from his sleeve, this ingot is ten taels, Qiu He's current monthly money is less than one or two silver a month, which is definitely a windfall for her.

Qiu He held this ten-tael gold ingot, and only felt very hot. After thinking for a long time, I found a handkerchief and wrapped this ingot, first hid it under the pillow, and after thinking about it, I still hid it under the bed.

Qiu He stroked his chest and gasped for breath for a long time, and his heart didn't beat so fast. Thinking of Uncle Clan's entrustment to him, he thought about it and comforted himself in his heart: It was just a word, and it would not cause any harm to the eldest young master. If she is really asked to harm the eldest young master, she will not dare to give her more money!

It's so tempting that gold, and she still has so many beautiful clothes and beautiful jewelry to buy!

As for the purpose of the people in the Internal Affairs Office behind her, Uncle Clan also told her, but he just wanted to arouse the eldest young master's interest in that thing. The prince is such a son, the eldest young master likes it, and the prince will ask the internal affairs office to bring other things in, and the internal affairs office will have errands to do! That's why there's money to take!

Qiu He is a little clever, no matter how he thinks about it, he thinks that what Uncle Clan said makes sense.

When she was on duty again and waited for Ye Minwen to wash her face behind the screen, she saw that there was no one else in the house, and the girls and mothers-in-law were standing outside the house. Qiu He whispered to Ye Minwen: "Young Master, the slave heard that there is something new in the house. Would you like to hear it? ”

Although Ye Minwen is a young master, he was raised by Yulan to be lively and cheerful, not squeamish at all, and very good to serve. Ye Minwen was wiping his face with a handkerchief, Yulan once told him that he was a man, and he should develop the habit of doing it himself, and from then on, whether it was eating, dressing, washing his face, he would do it himself.

Ye Minwen stopped when he heard Qiu He say this. Milky voice asked, "What's new?" Big eyes blinked, a look of curiosity.

Qiu He lowered his voice a little lower: "In our house, wolves are being raised now!" ”

"Wolves? In what place? Ye Minwen was really interested in this. Although he was not very old, he had heard of a wolf, but unfortunately he had never seen one.

"I heard that it was kept in a small courtyard in the northeast corner of the outer courtyard. No matter how detailed the slave and maid are, they don't know what to say, saying that they were sent by the Internal Affairs Office to the prince to enjoy the fun! ”

Ye Minwen's eyes were shining when he heard this, and he threw the handkerchief aside: "I'll ask my mother concubine and ask my mother to take me to see the wolf!" ”

Qiu He was so frightened when he heard this that he knelt down with a puff. "Young Master, don't! If you run over and tell the princess like this, the princess knows that the slave and maid are talking nonsense in front of you, and you have to drive the slave and maid out of the palace! Young Master, I beg you, don't tell the princess! He kowtowed as he spoke.

Ye Minwen is still quite righteous. "That's it! All right! I don't tell my mother! Get up! ”

Qiu He stood up at this time, and the front of his forehead was already bruised. She begged for a long time, and it wasn't until Ye Minwen repeatedly promised that she wouldn't tell anyone else that she was a little relieved.

Sure enough, when he went to ask Yulan for peace in the morning, Ye Minwen couldn't help but didn't mention it.

That night, it was the turn of the autumn lotus to watch the night. It was not early, and the nurse instructed Qiuhe to return to the back room to rest.

Qiu He slept on the Hunan concubine couch outside.

Ye Minwen has a child's heart, and endured it for a day, but he couldn't bear it at night.

Ye Minwen suddenly asked, "Sister Qiuhe, you say, what does the wolf look like?" ”

Qiu He heard Ye Minwen tossing and turning on the bed, and she didn't dare to sleep. Wen Yan replied: "Wolf, the slave and maid have never seen it, and I heard that it looks like a dog." ”

Ye Minwen suddenly turned over and sat up: "Sister Qiuhe, take me to see the wolf!" ”

Qiu He was taken aback, and secretly regretted that he shouldn't have told such a big child: "Big young master...... It's so late now! The princess won't let us out! Besides, there is nothing to see about wolves! ”

Ye Minwen turned over and got out of bed at this time, and his little face looked very stubborn: "I must go and see it!" He had this in his heart and couldn't sleep.

"If you don't take me, I'll tell my mother now! My mother will definitely send someone to show me! ”

Qiu He was about to cry. If Ye Minwen really told Yulan about this, not only would she not be able to stay by the side of the eldest young master, but the princess would punish her severely. Then her future is over.

She must not let this happen, she wants to be a first-class maid beside the princess!

Qiu He spoke softly and begged Ye Minwen for a long time, but Ye Minwen insisted on going to see the wolf. Qiu He was so entangled by him that he couldn't do it. Sweat on my forehead

It's not too late, so if you go and take a look and come back, you shouldn't have any problems......

Qiu He gritted his teeth: "Young Master, the slave promised to take you over." But you also have to promise the slave and maid one thing. Tomorrow you can't tell anyone, only you and the slave know about it! ”

Ye Minwen became happy when he heard this, patted his chest and promised: "Sister Qiuhe, don't worry!" I'm not going to tell anyone. ”

Qiu He made up his mind, and his heart was also settled. She first put on a small robe for Ye Minwen, worried that it would be cold outside, and then put a big furry cloak on him outside.

If you go directly from the main entrance of the wing, there is a little maid on night duty outside, and she will definitely be found and reported to Mother Qian.

Fortunately, there is a door in the east wing that is open to the outside, and there is a sandwich road when it goes out, which is originally convenient for the maids to enter and exit, so Qiu He took Ye Minwen out of the other door quietly. Walked up the sandwich road. `P`**WXC`P``P`**WXC`P`
