Chapter 134: Fidgeting
The next morning, Wei Chi Chi fanned the mirror to comb, her eyes were dark and she looked unenergetic, she didn't sleep well last night, and she didn't have the energy to deal with the energetic Thorn Lang, so she had to send the little guy to Yang Lihua's courtyard early in the morning.

"It's just a dream, it's going to be fine..."
Wei Chi Chifan comforted himself, and when he came to the dining table, he ate breakfast without a bite, but he was still restless.
In the dream, the husband Yuwen Wen fell on a mountain road in Dabie Mountain covered in blood, with many arrows stuck in his body, and many mountain barbarians came out of the surrounding woods, holding crossbow arrows in his hands, and one of them pulled out a sharp knife to cut off Yuwen Wenwen's head.
With a snap, Yu Chi Chifan slapped the chopsticks on the dining table, this breakfast was inedible, and the maid on the side saw the appearance of the hostess like this, and hurriedly stepped forward to remove the things.
Still thinking about the dream in his heart, Wei Chi Chifan fidgeted a little, turned around in the room, and finally sat down next to the bookcase, on which was a piece of paper with a scribbled topographical map.
"Na, this is the Dabie Mountains, Bazhou is here, Xiyang City is here, Qizhou is here, Hezhou is here, Sanniang is in the arms of her husband..."
Yu Wenwen's voice sounded in his ears, Wei Chi Chifan looked at the sketch and fell into a trance, and her husband often hugged her and "talked on paper" to the scribbled map.
For a few days, he would say that if he was the emperor of Chen, how to recover the Central Plains step by step; In the next few days, he will talk about how he should unify the world if he is the emperor of the Sui State.
There are also the inexplicable "high ditch forces" in eastern Liaodong, the Turks on the steppes, the "Tu Peel" on the "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" that I have never even heard of, and the "difficult moves" on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, all of which are talking about how these countries should deal with them, and so on.
She actually didn't understand much, even the sketches were roughly understood, but she enjoyed the feeling very much, snuggled in her husband's arms, felt the powerful heartbeat in her chest, and listened to her husband gushing endlessly to express what she thought in her heart, and the feeling of happiness filled her heart.
"It's going to be fine!"
Wei Chi Chifan encouraged himself again, stabilized his mind and got up and walked out of the room, her husband is away from home, she has to take care of this family, and she must not make any mistakes.
Transferred to the study in the front yard, she began to deal with housework, the stall in the mansion is getting bigger and bigger, so there are more and more things to manage, although there are people in charge of each part, but as the housewife, she has to take charge of the overall situation.
The male protagonist is outside the female protagonist, and now the male is thousands of miles away, and she, the woman, even has to ask about the situation with the Hulin Army, and now it is Yuwen 15 who is reporting the situation.
"At the end of the three-month recruit period, the amount of training has been increased by fifty percent according to the plan, and according to the situation of the previous month, the recruits have adapted very well, and the accounts of the barracks have been copied in a small way, please look at the master's mother."
Yuwen fifteen said so, but the accounts were actually handed over to Liu Caiyun, who was sitting on the side, and now the manpower in the house was really tight, and Wei Chi Chifan called Liu Caiyun to "work part-time".
It is also a loss that the military mansion was set up by the imperial court, and there is a general Changshi and a group of adjutants to deal with it, if it is also piled up in the mansion, Wei Chi Chifan will not want to have time.
"This basket of dossiers, alas..."
Liu Caiyun's expression is also a lot tired, as the right-hand man of the Duchess of Yiguo, she has a lot of work on hand on weekdays, and now she has added a heavy scale, I just hope that the Duke of Yiguo can come back as soon as possible, so that her husband Zhang Dingfa can also go home.
"If you don't have enough people to check the accounts, if you can't do it, you will choose from the servants in the house, and if you can't do it, you will transfer people from the account office of Wuwei Zhai to help."
"Madam, Wuwei Zhai still wants to borrow someone from me, the business is getting better and better, and he can't be busy."
Wei Chi Chifan gently rubbed his temples, there are a lot of things but there is a shortage of manpower, and the orphans raised in the house are still studying, and they can't afford to take the lead for the time being, so during this time, they can only be used by one person as two people.
Doesn't the husband often say that women are used as men, and men are used as animals!
Liu Caiyun carried the basket and retired, and a moment later a person walked in under the leadership of the servant, but it was Yang Ji, who also looked tired.
"Mr. Yang has worked hard."
"Madame is gracious."
Wei Chi Chifan looked at the bearded Yang Ji a little uneasy, this state Sima is busy with official business on weekdays, and in his spare time, he has to go to the mansion workshop to drum and do things, and he rotates all day long.
Not to mention "entertaining" those two guests from Yecheng.
"How is Daochang Liu now?"
"Madam, Daochang Liu forgets to sleep and eat every day to study, leading the little apprentice and Steward Lin to study chemistry, and he is very busy." Yang Ji said with palpitations, and it was also thanks to Lin Youdi that he could carry it, which attracted attention.
Thinking of Liu Yang and Liu Daochang's 'hungry' gaze, Lin Youdi's desperate expression, he was glad that he could get out, otherwise he would have been driven crazy by Liu Daochang's endless questions.
"And what about Assistant Teacher Liu?"
"Madam, Assistant Teacher Liu is now sorting out books during the day, talking about the opening of a state school, with Hao Beijia from the side, staying at the stargazing platform at night, very busy, his family has adapted to the water, soil and diet climate of Bazhou, everything is as usual."
"That's fine, when the prince comes back, I can also have an explanation."
"Madam, is there any news from the Duke of the Kingdom now?"
"No, since last month, the flying pigeon sent a message saying that they would come back, and now it is November, and no pigeons have come back." Wei Chi Chi Fan was a little distracted. "Under normal circumstances, people should return to Bazhou in a month."
Seeing this, Yuwen Fifteen hurriedly comforted: "Master mother, now that Huainan is fighting, maybe the pigeons have been shot down and eaten by the soldiers of which army, and the lord of Lang thought that he was coming back soon, so he didn't release the pigeons." ”
"As far as I know, Chen's army has invaded the Hezhou Governor's Mansion, and the road has been cut off when the army is in chaos, and if Guogong is sensible, he will not take the direction of Hezhou."
Yang Ji didn't shy away from anything, and told the truth, blindly saying good things at this time will only lead to mistakes in the end.
"Could it really be that you will climb over Dabie Mountain?" Wei Chi Chifan's heart became more and more uneasy, last night's dream was too scary.
"Madam, are the pigeons that the house sent to Yecheng later really selected?"
"Of course, the pigeons that flew back in October were newly delivered, and three were released at the same time as agreed, and all three came back."
The flying pigeon biography is unheard of for most people in this era, and the carrier pigeon that Yuwen Wen has spent years hard to raise has now begun to come in handy.
Yang Ji is from the Ming Dynasty, so he naturally knows the flying pigeon biography, so Wei Chi Chifan didn't keep this secret, not to mention that Yu Wenwen confessed that this "Mr. Yang" can be trusted.
"Mr. Yang, is it dangerous to climb over Dabie Mountain?"
"Dangerous, from the north foot to the south foothill, the normal official road is not nothing, but the northern end of the official road is in Guangzhou, which is under the jurisdiction of the Yuzhou Governor's Office, which is the territory of the Sui State, and the passes along the way are guarded by the Sui army, and it is impossible to pass the pass in confusion."
Yang Ji said that the official road, is the "light ecliptic" of later generations, now the north end of this road is Gwangju, the southern section is the south of the Huangzhou governor's office, the great poet Su Shi of the Northern Song Dynasty was demoted to Huangzhou (now Bazhou), from Henan Kaifeng to Huangzhou is this road.
"But the national flying pigeon said that if Hezhou can't get through, you have to come over the mountain from the northeast foothills..."
"Madam, I have already inquired below, the mountain barbarians in the mountains at the northeast foot of Dabie Mountain are extremely hostile to outsiders, and there is no official road to pass, the mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, and there are fierce beasts and poisonous insects infested, the national public weighs the pros and cons, and he will not go."
Wei Chi Chi was a little restless when she heard this, she missed her husband, and she also knew that her husband was in a hurry to come back, but now that the situation was dangerous, she would rather Yuwenwen turn back to Yecheng, even if it was good to wait for a few months, and she didn't want her husband to take risks.
"Madam, this is just a judgment, maybe the prince of the country will not be able to come back, and he will go back to Yecheng, but take precautions, and the government still has to be ready to respond."
"Mistress, the people sent to Qizhou and Nandingzhou in the house are very capable, and the people in Luozhou are also very reliable, please rest assured."
Yuwen 15 is not bragging, the people sent out by the government to pick up Lord Lang were selected by him and Fu Youcai, and the adaptability is very strong, Qizhou corresponds to the direction of the Hezhou Governor's Mansion in the east, Nandingzhou corresponds to the direction of the northern foot of Dabie Mountain, and Luozhou corresponds to the direction of the northeast foothills.
They waited in the state, and once they found out that Lord Lang and his party would respond immediately, of course, Daxingtai also let the three state assassins pay attention to the response, one public and one private preparation, as long as Yu Wenwen arrived, there would be no problem.
I'm afraid it's halfway through...
After a moment of discussion, the servant brought in another person, it was Wang Yue, who was in charge of trading.
Wang Yue is also very busy but looks good, his wife has recovered physically and mentally after two years of recuperation, and Liu Caiyun's "secret recipe for recuperation" has now conceived a child for Wang Yue.
Wang Yue, who was in charge of buying and selling, came in, definitely to report on relevant matters, and Yang Ji, who was supposed to be avoided, did not leave, because what he was going to talk about next had something to do with him.
"Madam, the deal is about to begin, and the grain ships from the upstream will arrive in Xiyang City in a few days."
"135,000 grains, it's really going to be done, the Tiger Forest Army's military rations for a year have been solved!" Yuwen fifteen is quite yearning, this is a big deal negotiated by the lord of Lang in Yecheng, and the buyer exchanges grain for glass mirrors.
"Upstream... You have to beware that the ship is not filled with food, but the Sui army! ”
Yang Ji's face was solemn, Yu Wenwen's deal was very risky, but the other party's conditions were also very attractive, if it was him, I was afraid that he would have to take a risk, food is the lifeblood of the army.
"Mr. Yang is right, he has already arranged manpower in the next place, and he will be on strict guard when picking up the ship."
"Shopkeeper Wang, you have to be careful yourself, the ring lock armor has to be put on a talisman." Wei Chi Chifan explained that the risks of this transaction had been repeatedly told by Yu Wenwen in his family letter.
Wang Yue also knows what is at stake, so he has to be careful in everything, the relevant preparations have been made, and he has vacated the granary and waited to load the grain, and in case of changes, he has deliberately vacated a wharf.
"Madam, make arrangements immediately, let the naval warships come with the fleet, and send troops on the shore to guard against it, so that no one will fish in troubled waters."
"Everyone has worked hard, think carefully about what is missing, and work together to do this well, if the transaction is successful, it will be a great good." (To be continued.) )
