Chapter 8: Trouble
Wang Yao was also saying: "As soon as my cousin returned to Beijing and heard about your deeds, she always wanted to ask to see her!" She was embarrassed to say that Xu Feixuan made fun of her relationship with Yu Xuan.
"What do I do?" Yu Fei said with a smile. Even if there is, it's something that doesn't sound good! It's not that she doesn't know how it spreads in the city.
Wang Yao said: "Why is it not?" Not to mention that when I was a child, I followed your master to the north and south and got a great skill, and the voice of chivalrous women is famous. And you have a good reputation in the Northern Xinjiang military camp! You are present in the famous battles in Northern Xinjiang, but it is a pity that you only stayed in Northern Xinjiang in the name of military dependents and could not be sealed. Although there are no female generals in our dynasty at present, but counting back a few generations, isn't Linwuhou a female general in the opening dynasty? In my opinion, if you can join the army, maybe you will be the contemporary Linwu Marquis! ”
Xu Feixuan also continued: "Yao'er is right, even in Jialing, your reputation is like thunder. ”
"As for the rumors in Beijing, you don't have to pay attention to it, most of the nobles of the family follow the rules, pursue dignified and virtuous women, and show off their literary talents, and they can be satisfied if they find a proud gentleman in the future; But not everyone has to be like that, you live a wanton and chic life, and it is not what we envy. ”
"This is the way to speak! Listening to your words, my heart is very ironing. Yu Fei smiled: "Jialing is only a thousand miles away from Northern Xinjiang, I have been in Northern Xinjiang for several years, but I haven't gone to go on a trip." It's a pity to think about it now. Otherwise, I might have known you earlier. ”
At this time, Wang Yao answered; "You can't see her if you go early, my cousin has been married to her brother-in-law for two years." Then he looked at Xu Feixuan and quipped: "Now that you are in love, it is not easy to release it for so long." ”
Xu Feixuan glanced at Wang Yao, and then gently covered her lips and teeth with a handkerchief, but her eyes were full of smiles. Thinking of the purpose of his visit, Fang restrained his smile and said seriously to Yu Fei: "Miss Yu, if you set off from the capital to go to Northern Xinjiang, Jialing is a must-pass place. ”
Of course Yu Fei knows this, but why did Xu Feixuan mention it so emphatically?
Then I heard Xu Feixuan continue: "I married my husband and went to Jialing Pass, and for two years, I missed my relatives in Beijing very much. My husband understands my longing for my family, so he often tells me some interesting local stories. One of them is that from the capital to the north of Xinjiang, Jialing is a must pass. But except for Miss Yu, I haven't heard of anyone from Beijing going to Northern Xinjiang for two years, and then my husband said, not two years, but three years, or three years and four months......"
Later, she couldn't hear anything more than Yu Fei, three years and four months! Her father had died on the battlefield with the Uzars three years earlier, and about two months before that, a convoy of grain and grass had been plundered by the Uzars on the way between Jialing Pass and Northern Xinjiang......
"As soon as I met Miss Yu today, I talked a little more," Xu Feixuan took Yu Fei's hand, and then patted it, "You and I are destined, if there is anything, you can go to Liao's Mansion to find me." ”
Yu Fei looked at Xu Feixuan, she didn't know why the person in front of her came over to tell her the news, but ...... She looked at Xu Feixuan seriously, "I hate to see my sister late, and I may have to harass my sister in the future." ”
"It's okay, I'm looking forward to your coming."
After the three of them said goodbye to each other, Yu Fei's heart was very heavy, and she thought about the news just now as she walked.
The local environment in northern Xinjiang is harsh, and the crop harvest is not good. The operation of the army basically depends on the imperial court to replenish every three years, and the grain and grass that should have arrived in northern Xinjiang three years ago have been missing. A few days later, the carriage loaded with grain and grass finally embarked on the journey to northern Xinjiang, but the disaster was not a single line, and the grain and grass were burned by Uzar spies on the way to Jialing Pass and northern Xinjiang. It is a long way to transport grain from the capital to northern Xinjiang, and it takes too long to transport grain again, so Yu Cheng immediately sent five hundred troops from the north to collect grain and grass in three cities and sixteen towns in northern Xinjiang, and then there was a sneak attack on Bao Neipo by the Uzar people......
To go to northern Xinjiang, grain and grass must pass through Jialing Pass. Xu Feixuan had nothing to do with herself before, and she must have been explained by Liao Chengxue when she came over, but she said that there was no grain and grass at all three years ago......
Yu Fei walked very fast, and Yu Bai had to trot to keep up. He looked at Yu Fei's face and asked cautiously, "Girl, is something happening?" ”
Yu Fei saw that Yu Bai's forehead was all sweat, so he slowed down his pace and threw him a handkerchief to wipe his sweat. Yu Bai was flattered, and hurriedly said: "Don't use the girl, just wipe the small one with your sleeve." ”
Yu Fei didn't answer, looked at Yu Bai and said, "Xiaobai, I have something for you to do now." ”
"Girl, you say."
"You have to find a way to find someone who has been in Jialing Pass with Lord Liao, the squire of the Ministry of War, whether it is a small servant or a maid or whatever, and ask them about one thing, whether there are people from Beijing who passed through Jialing Pass three years ago."
"I can't let Lord Liao know." Yu Fei emphasized.
"Okay, I'll go now?" Yu Bai asked tentatively.
"It's almost noon, let's go after dinner!"
The two returned to the house, and Yu Bai went to the kitchen to eat something casually and went out. And Yu Fei thought about it, wrote all the news he got recently in a letter, and sent it to Yu Xuan.
After eating, Yu Fei took a nap for a while, and when he woke up, he heard the whispering of maids and maids at the door.
"What's the matter?" Yu Fei got up and opened the door and looked at them.
A small servant in the house said: "Back to the girl's words, Yu Bai collided with the nobleman on East Street, the little one just came back and was about to report to the girl, Sister Liu'er said that the girl was still resting..."
Yu Fei waved his hand, "Take me over!" ”
When Yu Fei arrived, Yu Bai was kneeling on the ground and hanging his head and apologizing, and the car door opposite was ajar, revealing a handsome face.
In front of the sedan chair, a white-faced guy was still reprimanding Yu Bai, "You little beggar, just want to apologize for bumping into my master?" Do you know who my master is? It's cheap for you to lose your life! ”
"And what do you want?" Yu Fei stepped forward to block Yu Bai.
"Where are you from?" The little guy looked at Yu Fei and rolled his eyes.
Yu Fei ignored him, looked back at Yu Bai, and asked what was going on?
Yu Bai explained the situation again. It turned out that he had found out the news in Liao's Mansion, and he was happy that he could go back to ask for a reward if he had made a meritorious service, and the girl would definitely feel that she was useful, etc., and when she was happy to walk, she was a little anxious to run away, and she didn't notice that she almost hit the sedan chair bearer.
The sedan chair man was also startled, his arm shook, and the sedan chair shook a little unsteadily. The boy in the sedan chair asked, and the sedan chair man explained the situation, which was amazing, and the son's little servant immediately caught Yu Bai and began to teach a lesson.
Listening to Yu Bai explain the ins and outs, Yu Fei asked the little guy again, is this the case?
