1111 Hot pot and letter on a snowy night

Song porcelain is mostly monochrome, but in the past few years after the recovery of the north, the traditional aesthetics of porcelain in the south and white in the north have gradually been broken.

Various patterns and images of flowers and birds have gradually begun to appear vividly on porcelain, and artistic conception and charm have naturally become a feature of ornamental porcelain, so that today's porcelain, although it is still mainly monochrome, but decorative porcelain has also begun to appear.

Over the years, since the early advent of Po Li, it has also followed the tradition of Song porcelain, focusing on simplicity and transparency, and the workshop of Po Li originally belonged to the monopoly industry, so it was much slower to break through than porcelain.

When Ye Qing asked Chongguo Gong to make wine, he also mobilized a lot of craftsmen from Yangzhou to make glass, so he hoped to build a larger glass workshop in Jinan Province, and even use it as a vessel for wine, so that even if the wine was in a bottle, it could be seen.

But no matter what kind of thing he does, Ye Qing's starting point is only one: money is driving him to work so hard to do everything.

Three days after Zhu Shijie came to Jinan, Zhu Xi learned the news, and in the face of Zhu Xi's cross-examination, Zhu Shijie was speechless, not because he didn't want to tell Zhu Xi the details of his release, but because he didn't know the details at all.

Yelu Chucai is like Ye Qing's follower, under the premise that the guards are still headed by Jia She, and now Ye Qing seems to have an extra staff member by his side.

Although Yelu Chucai didn't like to be Lord Ye's follower like this, he had to bow his head under the eaves, not to mention that he also wanted to really understand what kind of person this Northland hero was through close observation.

In front of his wife, Ye Qing has a face that is difficult for ordinary people to see, and in front of the people, it is a different look, and in front of the officials, it is also a third look, in front of Zhu Xi...... Yelu Chucai felt that Ye Qing was like a big traitor, and he was very bad.

Three days ago, Ye Qing mentioned to him about the greed for ink, although Yelu Chucai didn't pay attention to it at first, but the more he thought about it later, the more he felt that it was possible, especially in the past few days, when Ye Qing went to the brewing workshop from time to time, or a larger open space, and pointed out what the craftsman should build and how to build, Yelu Chucai had to admire, this thing's attitude towards money ...... Really sincere and serious!

Similarly, Ye Qing's sincere and serious attitude is also reflected in the recruitment of troops and horses for the Andong Protectorate, and the limited number of Song army camps that followed Ye Qing to the vicinity of Jinan Mansion, the scene of the galloping of war horses, the blood-boiling shouts of killing, and the excellent armor and weapons of the Song army, all made Yelu Chucai feel hot and jealous, and involuntarily measured in his heart, with the current high momentum and fighting spirit of the Song army, if he met their golden soldiers, who would have a better chance of winning.

Although Yelu Chucai hopes that the result is what he wants, it has to be said that Yelu Chucai's expectations are the opposite of reality, and the Song army, which is enough to be called a deadly bandit, is definitely not something that the current Jin soldiers' morale is not high can resist.

Especially when he saw the scene of the Song army rehearsing the siege of the city, Yelu Chucai initially felt his scalp tingle from the scene of blood boiling in front of him, but in the end, Yelu Chucai felt that his whole body was filled with despair from head to toe.

The various tools for the siege of the city are particularly important for a large army, and like the Song people, they do everything, especially when a mysterious army appears, braving the rain of arrows on the city wall, and rushes to the foot of the city wall under the cover of the shield After only a cup of tea, the entire siege army began to retreat in an orderly manner with the order.

As the arrows with flames fell to the foot of the city wall, and then the rumbling sound of shaking the mountains sounded, and the scene of dust covering the sky and the sun was instantly in front of you, and when the dust dissipated, I saw that the city wall, which was far stronger than most of the city walls north of the Yellow River, appeared a huge gap, and some crumbling city walls, collapsing like a landslide.

The originally most difficult siege battle became so easy on the side of the Song army, and the unbelievable Yelu Chucai, facing Ye Qing's provocative gaze, obviously didn't want to grow others' morale to destroy his prestige, and snorted coldly: "My Dajin Kingdom is invincible." ”

Lord Ye made a perfunctory hum-huh, but the smug look on his expression was overflowing, and he looked extremely underwhelmed in Yelu Chucai's eyes.

The artistic conception of winter breath permeates the entire land, and the barrenness and depression of winter make the land after a siege drill full of desolation and heroism, and the high fighting spirit and the momentum of not fearing death make all the Song troops feel enthusiastic.

With Ye Qing getting into the carriage, in addition to Yelu Chucai, who was a little depressed, it was Zhu Shijie, who was extremely excited and excited.

Ye Qing's purpose is very simple, to deter Yelu Chucai's disobedience, to enhance Zhu Shijie's pride as a Song person, and similarly, it is also for today's main purpose: to be greedy for ink.

Zhu Shijie is definitely the best bookkeeper in Ye Qing's opinion, I believe that as long as he has the scriptures

After his own allocation, and then put Zhu Shijie under the command of King Qingwang of Kaifeng, then the matter of greedy ink can become easier for himself, naturally, if he wants to further pull Shi Miyuan into the water in the household, then it will take a lot of effort.

However, these are not things that Ye Qing has to consider at the moment, the most urgent thing at the moment is naturally to inform Zhu Shijie of some of what Ye Qing knows, how to make false accounts in the future and how to hide it from others.

Although Ye Qing himself was the master of a bottle that was less than half a bottle, this did not affect him to order a math master.

In the warm room, Ye Qing began to point at Zhu Shijie from shallow to deep, and then unconsciously guided Zhu Shijie to understand what he was looking for him.

Yelu Chucai on the side, especially Ye Qing, would always hum a few times every time he spoke, in order to express his dissatisfaction with Ye Da's traitorous ministers, and it was precisely because of this that in this short time of incense, Ye Qing had kicked his calf no less than seven or eight times.

As a result, Yelu Chucai didn't bother to bend down to slap the footprints under the robe in the end, but he still snorted coldly from time to time to express his dissatisfaction and ridicule of Ye Da's traitorous ministers.

"Sir, I mean ......." As soon as Ye Qing's words fell, before Yelu Chucai could snort and taunt, Zhu Shijie, who finally heard Ye Qing's purpose, raised his head a little dazedly and looked at Ye Qing's trembling voice in disbelief.

"Ugh......." Lord Ye sighed in embarrassment, and pointed to Yelu Chucai, who was holding his chin high, with emotion, and said, "See? It's this thing, do you know why he keeps sneering at me, and I'm helpless? Not because of anything else, it is precisely because there is a big gold country behind him to support him, and Mr. I ...... It's hard to put into words. ”

Master Ye didn't know when he no longer called himself Ye in front of Zhu Shijie, and simply recognized Zhu Shijie's name for his husband.

There were ten thousand sneers at Ye Qing at the corners of Yelu Chucai's mouth and in his heart, but Lord Ye still said with emotion: "Mr. is not greedy for ink for personal reasons, but in fact, he is ...... You have also seen today, so many soldiers have to eat, dress, and support their families, even if the husband smashes the pot and sells iron, it is difficult to continue. The contradiction between the court and Mr., Mr. doesn't say it, you must know it, but Mr. is dedicated to the country, and he only wants to drive out the Tartars and recover my ......mountains and rivers. ”

"I'll go out and vomit for a while, maybe it's that sitting in a carriage today makes people dizzy and nauseous!" Yelu Chucai, who finished sneering, ran faster than the arrows he shot, but Lord Ye's feet were obviously faster than the arrows on the bow and crossbow, and he still kicked Yelu Chucai's ass at the moment when Yelu Chucai ran out.

So Yelu Chucai had a big footprint on his buttocks, and ran to the cold outdoors to breathe fresh air, he somewhat understood why Jin Guo had been at a disadvantage after facing Ye Qing from top to bottom, and he had never been able to win the Song people.

Yes, it is precisely because the Song Court has a sinister and treacherous Ye Qing who makes people hate him, and it is precisely because of this despicable and calculating Ye Qing that Dajin Kingdom has been in a situation of passive beating.

The sun had unconsciously set down the mountain, and Yelu Chucai, who was shivering from the cold, finally stepped into the warm room again, and in the room at this time, the master and apprentice were already talking and laughing, obviously what happened just now...... has already persuaded Zhu Shijie.

"It's insidious enough to convince an honest man so quickly." Yelu Chucai whispered next to Ye Qing while Zhu Shijie was staring at the ghost-like words on the paper.

"In the face of justice, all means are not despicable and insidious, don't forget, we are fighting for the Chinese nation, so that our Central Plains culture will not be trampled on by foreign races, everything is for the orthodoxy of the Central Plains, so where is the insidious and treacherous? Sun Ziyun: Soldiers and tricks are also ....... Lord Ye was righteous and awe-inspiring and wanted to start speaking.

Yelu Chucai's ears were already calloused, and he said directly: "When will you eat?" Would it be nice to take out some of that good wine and warm up your body? ”

In the cold winter, it is obvious that nothing to eat is as enjoyable as eating hot pot, and beef and mutton are nothing at all for the current Northland, even if Xin Qiji sold almost all of the cattle and sheep brought by the Mongolians, but the rest is enough for Ye Qing to use now...... Shabu mutton.

The terrible cold wind whistled unscrupulously outside the window, the dust swept the cold that could penetrate the bone marrow, and the hot pot and wine in the room could make people feel happy and satisfied more than anything else at this moment.

Similarly, for Bai Chun and Ye Luyue, who are far away in Chang'an, in addition to the warm room like spring, there is also Ye Qing's handwritten letter.

Ye Qing wanted to come to Chang'an after the first day, but the two girls didn't know why, but even so, this letter was enough to make Bai Chun and Yeluyue feel a strong sense of warmth and longing in the cold winter.

"What's wrong with the Mongols?" Bai Chun hugged Xiao Xue'er, who was looking at her blankly, and asked her mother.

"Nothing unusual last winter

Sometimes, they will cross the river to grab it, but so far this year, it has not happened for the time being. Of course, some small conflicts are inevitable, and those herders who lack food and clothing and cannot survive the long winter will still run over, but they do not dare to loot on a large scale, and occasionally give some goods to exchange with us. Ye Luyue is very satisfied with everything in front of her, although she is not Ye Qing by her side, but now she has Xiao Xue'er by her side, which is definitely more satisfying for her who has just become a mother than having Ye Qing by her side.

Bai Chun sighed slightly, then looked down at Xiao Xue'er's unadulterated eyes, and said lightly: "Maybe the husband's return to Chang'an will have something to do with the Mongols." ”

Ye Luyue nodded silently, she also guessed the same, after all, in the negotiations between Jinan and the Mongols, Ye Qing finally chose to form a real alliance with the Jin people, although this result was expected, but it was still somewhat unexpected.

"Xingqing Mansion and Xiping Mansion also have no Mongol changes now, but they ......." Bai Chun glanced up at Yeluyue, and then thought for a moment before making up his mind and said: "There are still conflicts outside Xiping Mansion, and winter is coming, whether it is Xingqing Mansion or Xiping Mansion, they don't dare to keep the city gate open as they do on weekdays, and their patrols to the frontier have also increased a lot, so they can't help but ...... it." ”

Yeluyue continued to nod silently, and said in a somewhat helpless tone: "I hope they can survive this winter, and I hope this winter is not too long." ”

"If you are relieved......." Bai Chun looked down at Xiao Xue'er in her arms, who had obediently closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep under the slight shaking of her arms, and continued: "Maybe let Yelu Yixue go to Xiping Mansion ......." ”

"In this case, I'm afraid that Liu Minxing and the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate won't be able to take care of the ...... of Hetao Third Road." Yeluyue's heart couldn't help but rise a sense of melancholy, she had to choose to go to Hetao Sanlu to conflict with the Mongols and avenge the Liao, which made the Wujiang army under her command involuntarily become the main force guarding the Wuding River, so that most of the army in Anbei had to be stationed from Muma Town to other garrisons. As a result, now, she not only wants to order Yelu Yixue to lead the army to the outside of Xiping Mansion to deal with the remnants of the Liao State who are homeless or chased by the Mongols, but also have to take into account the defense area that she took over at the beginning of the third road of Hetao. ”?“ Maybe you can send some people to Xiping Mansion, Liu Lan'er has arrived in Xiping Mansion a few days ago, and plans to spend the first day with Li Heng there, so Li Heng will lead the ....... Bai Chun gave Yeluyue an idea.

"Li Heng will not listen to us, unless there is an order from his husband." Ye Luyue shook her head and said, then looked at Bai Chun's impatient expression, and said with a hint of bitterness in her smile: "Li Heng will not listen to you, this time is not the same as before, otherwise, Li Heng should be in Xingqing Mansion instead of Xiping Mansion." The Mongols failed to assassinate Fujun in Jinan, although Fujun did not pursue it in the end, but this matter obviously will not be exposed so easily, and the Mongols will naturally be on guard, I am afraid that this is why Li Heng could not go to Xingqing Mansion. ”

"Xiao Xue'er is taken care of by me, as long as you can rest assured, I and the Red Mansion will never let her suffer a little grievance." Bai Chun raised his head and continued to Yeluyue: "I saw that the lights in your room were turned off very late these days, and I know that you feel uncomfortable. It's one thing for Li Heng to listen or not, but it's another thing to be able to do it. ”

"I was afraid to face the people of the Great Liao Kingdom, and now I dare not face them. I didn't have to worry about food and clothing in Chang'an, and they are still struggling and persevering for the dead Daliao, I ...... I don't know how to face them, but if I am asked to act as if nothing has happened, I can't do it, I can't bear to watch them fall outside one by one in a pool of blood pursued by the Mongols, as soon as I close my eyes these days, I can't help but think of the time when I escaped from ......the royal city, I think, at this moment, they are in the snowstorm, I am afraid that they are even more miserable than I was at that time. ”

Bai Chun gently put Xiao Xue'er on the warm and soft bed, watched the little guy squirm his lips, frowned and continued to be quiet, and then took Ye Luyue's hand, and said with some comfort that he didn't know how to comfort: "As long as you don't do impulsive things and don't put yourself in danger, you just let it go, even if you can't help them, don't let yourself live in guilt." Li Heng has Lan'er over there, even if he can't help you, but let Li Heng turn a blind eye, even if he can borrow some troops from you, ....... ”

"Let Xiao Xue'er sleep with me tonight." Ye Luyue interrupted Bai Chun's words and said.

Bai Chun was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay, you rest early." ”

"Thank you, sister." Yeluyue looked at Bai Chun's back as he walked to the door, and tears unconsciously slipped down her face.

Yeluyue obviously wants to spend more time with Xiao Xue'er, and this ...... It also shows that during the trip to Xiping Mansion, Yeluyue has obviously made a decision.

After all, countless people and soldiers who are still thinking about the Liao State are still insisting on their identity as the Great Liao State, and they are still in the grassland, desert, and Gobi with the Mongols in the last resistance and struggle.
