In the northern suburbs of Xiyang City, a lakeside manor is very lively, which is the industry of Bazhou Thorn History and Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On the shore of the lake, a two-story building rises above a mound, the building is made of bricks without cornices, beige walls, red eaves, and arched pillar walls, its shape is very different from ordinary buildings.

On the roof of the building, there is a large terrace, surrounded by a fence, on which stand two strange shape of the side umbrellas, under the umbrella there is a couch, two beautiful women each wearing pink and purple light gauze sitting on the couch, watching the two young children in front of them frolic.

"A-Niang, over there, over there..."Brother Magpie shouted in a milky voice, dancing with his younger brother Thorn Lang, and the two little guys are now holding on to the roof fence, looking at a few wooden boats by the lake not far away.

"It's a boat, it can float on water, it can sit on people, do you want to go?" Yuwen Eying said on the side, and the two younger brothers were even happier when they heard this, and said "yes" in unison.

"E-Ying, the wooden boat is not ready yet, it will be tomorrow." Yang Lihua said on the side that she is now sitting under the umbrella with Wei Chi Chifan, and there are many pastries, melons and fruits, and iced sour plum soup on the dining table.

Wei Chi Chi beckoned the little ones to come over and eat, and the three of them gathered around when they heard this, taking their favorite food from the eating table, and they were all happy to taste it.

"Auntie, you want to go to Portugal... Brother Que asked, he is now two years old, which is the age when he learns to speak, but he still can't tell the correct usage of you and me, so he always uses the "you" that others call him as "me".

Yu Chi Chifan pinched Brother Que's little face, and corrected with a smile: "Brother Que, say that you want to say 'I'..."

"Hmm." Brother Que nodded, and when he saw A-Niang nodding in agreement, he looked at Yang Lihua and said, "Auntie, you... I'm going to Portugal... Portugal. ”

"Go, follow my sister, take my brother with me, take good care of my brother, you know?" Yang Lihua said, seeing her son nodding, she instructed her daughter: "Eying, take care of your younger brothers, you know?" ”

"Hmm." Yuwen Eying nodded vigorously, and after a while, she was full of food and drink, and led her two younger brothers to run to the stairs on the side with a hula sound, and Liu Ye led a maid and two nurses to follow closely behind.

Seeing her son so happy, Yang Lihua was also very happy, and the trace of helplessness in her heart went with the wind, according to the rules, the son she gave birth to could only call her biological mother "aunt", and she wanted to call her mother-in-law Wei Chi Chifan "Auntie".

The son who was pregnant for ten months and experienced the pain of childbirth can't call herself "A-Niang", in other words, whoever is a mother feels uncomfortable, but the rules are like this, not something that Yang Lihua can change.

Don't say that it is a powerful family and a high-ranking family, even if it is in the family of ordinary people, so the status of the main room is so important, and the side room is just better than the treatment of ordinary maids.

Even if the side room and concubine who have given birth to children are in danger of being kicked out of the house, if the husband is 'generous', he even has to sleep with the guest, and after a few nights of companionship, if the guest 'can't put it down', it may also be given as a gift to the other party.

"What are you thinking?" Wei Chi Chifan asked, Yang Lihua, who was slightly distracted, smiled when she heard this, saying that she was thinking about her husband, and she didn't know how she was doing in Yecheng now.

"He's... The family man was right, and sure enough, there was an accident in the main hall again. Wei Chi Chi smiled bitterly.

Yang Lihua was also helpless, Yuwenwen went to Chang'an and was in the main hall, but her father was so angry that he almost had a seizure on the spot, but this one rounded the scene back, she kept thinking about what Yuwenwen was thinking about at that time.

'Ordinary courtiers go to the main hall, they all follow the rules and dare not come out, but he is good, it is not the same thing at all! Yang Lihua thought so, and like Wei Chi, she drank the iced sour plum soup helplessly.

It was now late June, and Yuwenwen arrived in Yecheng in late May, and Wei Chi Chi calculated the date to write a letter in advance for the messenger to send to Yecheng, which happened to be delivered at the end of May.

Unexpectedly, in early June, the messenger brought news that the prince of Xiyang County kowtowed and fainted when he was at the court meeting, but the imperial doctor checked it and there was no major problem, this news made Wei Chi Chifan restless, and Yang Lihua and Xiao Jiuniang were also quite worried.

A few days later, the messenger sent Yu Wenwen's letter, which repeatedly emphasized that "there is no big problem for a husband", although there are some twists and turns, but after the Double Ninth Festival, you can return to Bazhou, according to the day, about mid to early October.

The breeze blew again, bringing not only a hint of coolness, but also a ruffled water, and a flock of waterfowl flew from the reeds in the distance.

Wei Chi Chi Fan came to the fence and looked into the distance by the railing, a large area of the lake scenery is in full view, the rippling blue lake, some small boats are sprinkled in the meantime, and there are birds hovering in the sky, such a scene, people are refreshed and happy

"The scenery is so beautiful," she muttered to herself, and at last she understood why her husband wanted to build a courtyard by the lake, and after only staying here for two days, she was a little reluctant to leave.

"Sister, this building is... What is the style? Yang Lihua asked, walked to Yu Chi Chifan's side and looked at the railing, it was the first time she had seen a building of this shape, there were no cornices and walls, and there was a large terrace on the top of the building, Yu Wenwen had told her what it was called and what style it was, but she really couldn't remember.

"It seems to be called plus... Caribbean style? Wei Chi frowned, and thought for a long time before remembering, but he didn't dare to be sure.

"The concubine remembers that this sea is in the east of the East China Sea, that is, where in the extreme east, the shape of this building is indeed rare, and it is not like the style of the Western Regions." Yang Lihua said with some uncertainty.

"Yes, I don't know if this building is strong or not, it's all made of bricks and stones..."

While the two were talking, there was movement at the stairs, and when they turned their heads to look, it was Xiao Jiuniang who was dressed in a light blue light veil who came over, and when he got closer, Yu Chi Chifan asked Huanu if he was asleep.

"Sister, the raccoon slave has already slept." Xiao Jiuniang replied, and then came to the fence to look into the distance, looking at the lake in front of her, it was also quite relaxing.

"You're still sleeping, aren't you? If they are afraid that the dog's barking will startle the slaves, I will ask them to lead the dogs away. ”

"The raccoon slave slept well, a little dog barking is fine, if it's too quiet, where is it still used to going back to the house." Xiao Jiuniang said with a smile, Mrs. cares about her and her mother very much, which also makes her feel a lot more at ease, her husband is far away, and now Mrs. is in charge of the house.

The three of them stood together and looked into the distance by the railing, talking to each other, laughing like silver bells from time to time, the breeze swept by, blowing the light veil on their bodies as thin as cicada wings, like green leaves against the face of the shy flower of the closed moon, from a distance it looked like a fairy in the sky came to the mortal world, and watched the lake here.

Suddenly there was a fluttering sound in the sky, and when I looked up, I saw a flock of gray and white pigeons, which had risen from near the building and flew towards the loft in the distance.

"It's beautiful to fly in flocks of pigeons." Xiao Jiuniang sighed, and Yang Lihua on the side shook her head: "That's it... The thing falling down was unsightly. ”

"So the pigeon loft has to be far away from here, anyway, Brother Magpie and Thorn also like to feed the pigeons, so let them be..."Yu Chi Chifan said, the husband raises pigeons here, in addition to being beautiful and fun, there is a secret, but it can't be easily revealed.

。。。。。。

In the corner of the manor, several men in the pigeon loft are busy, they carefully clean the layers of pigeon baskets, pull out the drawers under the pigeon cages, pour out the pigeon droppings, and open the windows to bring in the breeze, taking away the slightly turbid smell in the pigeon loft.

The pigeons should be kept carefully, and hundreds of pigeons should be raised more carefully, the first thing is to ensure that the pigeon loft is clean, the pigeon loft has to be cleaned every day, and after six or seven days, it has to be cleaned to remove the dust from the floor.

Every two or three months, the floors are washed with water, and the doors, windows, and coops are wiped down in order to avoid breeding diseases and killing all the hundreds of pigeons in one loft.

"What's the temperature and humidity?" One asked, and the other looked at the thermometer and hygrometer hanging in the room, and then said that they had not exceeded the standard, which was just right.

"Move quickly, pack up all the pigeon droppings, and take them to dry and fertilize the ground."

"Start changing the water, the old rule, one person is responsible for one row, don't spill the water."

"Okay!"

A few people got busy again, emptying the water from the drinkers in each coop, replacing it with freshly beaten water, and then checking the screens of the doors and windows to make sure that there were no holes.

They were disabled veterans due to injuries, and they were left in the house by Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County, and lived in the manor with their families as tenants, while they themselves were responsible for raising pigeons and training carrier pigeons that could return home.

Over the past two years, they have gone from novice to veteran, and they have summed up their experience on how to raise pigeons well, and with the novel "thermometer" and "hygrometer", they have kept the pigeon loft in good order.

The pigeons are not afraid of the heat, so it is very important to cool the loft in the summer, as well as ventilation and proper light, and the weather is too hot to let the pigeons bathe.

It can also be regarded as a means of cooling down.

In winter, you have to be careful, if the temperature difference is too big then the pigeon is easy to get sick, the pigeon loft has to install curtains and curtains to prevent the cold wind from blowing, and on weekdays you have to prevent rats and the like from getting into the loft and becoming a scourge.

Raising pigeons, raising pigeons, they have been familiar with light, breeding more and more pigeons, through daily release training, screening of strong and accurate return to the nest pigeons continue to breed, and the pigeon release distance is getting farther and farther.

Finally, after cleaning, it was time for the pigeons to return to the nest, watching a large group of pigeons hula fall, familiar with the way back to their respective pigeon cages, the pigeon keeper walked up, one by one the pigeon cages were counted and then closed.

"Lao Li, Lao Li! It's back, it's back!! ”

One person suddenly shouted excitedly, and a few people next to him rushed up when they heard the words, and then shouted excitedly: "I'm back!" I'm back, quick, go to the steward! ”

。。。。。。

"The pigeon is back?"

Wei Chi asked in surprise, Yuwen Fifteen also nodded vigorously, and said with a happy face: "I'm back, I can be regarded as back." ”

Wei Chi Chifan is now in the study on the second floor of the 'Caribbean style' building, took a reed pipe handed by Yuwen 15, and took out a note from it, only to see that the words "Sui Sui Ping" were written on it, and Yu Chi Chifan took out a wooden box from the corner of the study, and took out a piece of paper after unlocking it with a key.

"Today is June 30th, so it should be... The years are safe..."Wei Chi Chi Fan read softly, and then looked at the note, excited.

"Oh, from Yecheng to Xiyang, how to say there are more than a thousand miles of road, according to the agreement, the pigeon of the lord of Lang should be released early this morning, and return to Xiyang in the afternoon, this flying pigeon is really wonderful!" Yuwen Fifteen sighed.

"The husband said that Yecheng to Xiyang... It's not that far in a straight line... The flying pigeon can pass the book, it can really pass the book, it will be released in the morning, and it will be in the afternoon of the same day..."Yu Chi Chi held the note and did not let go, as if Yu Wenwen was in front of her.

Yuwen 15 touched his head, full of regret and said that it was a pity that the first few pigeons did not fly back, it seems that he was still in a hurry, and the selected pigeons have never flown such a long distance.

This time, Yu Wenwen went to Yecheng, and selected some carrier pigeons that had just been trained to produce some effects, and according to the agreement between him and Wei Chi Chifan, the pigeons would be released on June 1, June 10, June 20, and June 30.

According to the prediction, the carrier pigeon flew from Yecheng to Xiyang, and if it successfully flew back, it would arrive on the same day according to the speed of the carrier pigeon, so on June 1st, 10th, 20th, and today, Wei Chi Chifan was waiting for the pigeon to fly back.

Each time the pigeon is released with different content notes, and the pigeon released today has the words "years and years are safe", but although it successfully received the "flying pigeon biography" thousands of miles away, the success rate is still very low.

This month four batches of pigeons were released, three in each batch, for a total of twelve, and now only one pigeon has returned, and the others have either lost their way or been killed by some bird of prey or hunter.

"Twelve come back one, but Yecheng is so far away, it is also commendable, it is said that you have to train for a few months, and then carefully screen to select a good carrier pigeon, thousands of miles away can also fly back." Yuwen fifteen said with a smile.

"I flew back from thousands of miles away that day, and my husband really didn't say anything wrong..."

Yuwen Fifteen saw that the mistress was quite happy, so he asked when the mission coming back from Yecheng would pass through Bazhou, after all, Lord Lang had already planned before going out, he wanted to buy a lot of things to come back, and the rest didn't matter, but the war horse was really greedy.

"It will be ten days, and a messenger has already sent a message a few days ago."

"That's good, that's good, I don't know if I'll be able to arrive before the big adjustment."

"How is the Tiger Forest Army doing now?" Wei Chi Chifan asked, the Hulin Army is an army recruited by Yuwenwen, and strictly speaking, it is considered a private soldier, so as the main mother who stays at home, she also has to 'act as a substitute'.

"Step by step, it has been rainy since the beginning of the summer, and there is no big battle, and Chen Guo's fish belly has been cheaper, from the time Lord Lang went out to the present, that is, the seedlings in Wuchang have been destroyed, and they have no harvest this year."

"Then you can discuss this matter with Chen Tongjun and them."

"Yes, when the discussion is settled, Chen Tongjun will go to the mansion to ask for a letter."

Yuwen Wen is not there, the military affairs of the Hulin Army are under the control of the fifth brother of the unified army, and the specific commanders of each army are in charge of the step-by-step management, Yuwen 15 is responsible for supervising the army as the representative of Yuwen Wen, if the Hulin Army is to be transferred or there is a major change in military affairs, there must be a seal letter from Yuwen Wen, and this seal is kept by Wei Chi Chifan.

"I'm a woman, I don't know anything about war training or anything, everything is according to the set rules, but there are no mistakes, you and Chen Tongjun have to watch it."

"Yes." (To be continued.) )
