Chapter 655: The New Year is Coming
A heavy snowfall has put on a silver coat for the capital, and as far as the eye can see, the sky and the earth are covered in silver, as if entering a fairy tale world.
Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, the arrival of this heavy snow, to the children in the capital brought great joy, but for those who are already ready to take a holiday, it is not a good thing, because some main streets have to be cleaned, which undoubtedly increases their huge workload, if it is placed in normal times, but tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, who wants to have so much work today!
However, the officers and the common people soon found that their fears were somewhat unfounded.
The heavy snow stopped at noon, and immediately groups of officers and men appeared in the streets and alleys, no longer holding weapons in their hands, but snow shoveling tools.
With the participation of the soldiers, the impossible became possible, and the streets soon revealed their original bluestone pavement.
Even the snow in the alleys was cleared out by the soldiers, and the snow that was too late to be transported away was piled up into snowmen of different shapes.
In this way, let alone children, even ordinary people are happy to close their mouths, and it seems that in their memory, officers and soldiers have never helped the people on such a large scale.
And those foreign envoys in the Ming Dynasty were even more surprised, weren't the soldiers used to fight? How can you even do such a thing?
Although surprised, when they saw the proud people of the capital, these foreigners finally understood a little, no wonder the Ming Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, I am afraid that the integration of the military and the people is also an important reason!
Many people know that only Ye Gonggong can mobilize the Ming army, so although Ye Xun did not show up for the entire snow shoveling project, the capital was full of praise for him.
The snow in the capital has been cleared, but inside the palace is a different story, except for a few main thoroughfares, the snow has not been cleared at all.
This is mainly because after Ye Xun and Baozhu took charge of the palace, the palace has fewer and fewer people, and Mu Zheng can't do anything about it, Ye Xun doesn't speak, and he can't mobilize the army, so he simply doesn't clean it up.
Ye Xun organized snow clearing outside the palace, but a guest came to the palace, the freshly baked British mother, and Mrs. Liu.
Just like there is a sense in the dark, Mrs. Liu is here to propose marriage to her son, and what she asks to marry is Ye Xun's righteous daughter, Xiao Rus.
Of course, at the age of Zhang Xumin and Xiao Ruye, it is impossible to get married now, but do not delay to settle the family affairs first.
Mrs. Liu knows very well that with Ye Xun's identity, in another year or two, the person who proposes marriage to Ye Xun will have to break through the door of the Ye family, so this matter must be done in advance.
In Cining Palace, after listening to Mrs. Liu's intention, Baozhu couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and blurted out: "Is it a little inappropriate for this righteous brother and righteous sister to kiss!" ”
Mrs. Liu knew that Baozhu would say this, and said with a smile: "The Queen Mother is too worried, they don't have any blood relationship, and the most important thing is that these two children are happy with each other, Min'er has made it clear that if it is not a girl, she will not marry, the child thinks so, I, as a mother, have no choice but to be cheeky to ask for a kiss."
Baozhu thought about it, she knew that Mrs. Liu's mother and son had lived in Ye Xun's house for a while, and during that time, Xiao Ru also happened to follow Ye Xun.
Zhang Xumin is not a few years older than Xiaoru, and it is normal to play together, thinking about it deeply, Mrs. Liu's move is not to find a biggest backer for herself and her son.
After being the queen and queen mother for a few years, Baozhu already has a deeper understanding of people's hearts, so after a slight turn of thought, he understood Mrs. Liu's thoughts.
In fact, with her small background, being able to marry the hereditary British princess can be called her best destination.
Thinking of this, he nodded and said: "This matter will be discussed by the palace with Gonggong Ye, as for whether Gonggong Ye agrees or not, that is his business."
Seeing that Baozhu agreed, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but smile, who in the world doesn't know that the Queen Mother listens to Gonggong Ye the most, and in turn, Gonggong Ye will definitely listen to the Queen Mother's words.
The two talked again, and Mrs. Liu, who was satisfied, was about to say goodbye, when she suddenly saw the chief manager Mu Zheng running in panting.
"Queen Mother, it's no good, Madame Redsleeves and Madame Arjuna are fighting again!"
Mrs. Liu was taken aback, of course she knew who these two ladies were, but she didn't know that Ye Xun's back house would be so lively.
Baozhu glared at Mu Zheng, and said in his heart that there were outsiders present, what were you shouting nonsense? And these two crazy women didn't fight that day, what is there to make a fuss about?
Just as he was about to speak, he saw a waiter walk quickly outside the door.
"Empress Dowager Qiyu, there is a Mongolian girl outside the palace who calls herself Da Yu'er, who asks to see Grandpa Ye"
After listening to the report of the servant, Baozhu couldn't help but be stunned, and said in his heart, why is this crazy girl here?
Baozhu knew Ye Xun's thoughts about Da Yu'er, but the little girl didn't know what the demon was, so she had to marry Ye Xun.
Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, this girl came running at this time, shouldn't she be sneaking out?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Quickly invite someone in, and in addition, Manager Mu, you are sending someone to report to Father-in-law Ye, just say that Da Yu'er is here."
Mrs. Liu was also leaving, but when she heard that another woman came to find Ye Xun, she was not without gossip in her heart, but she didn't expect a eunuch to recruit women like this...
Ye Xun is also very busy at the moment, and the means of transportation are inconvenient in this era, so most of the snow can only be piled up on both sides of the road, but it is not very elegant to pile it up like this, so he ordered someone to find some carving masters and ask them to study it and make some snow carvings.
How to say that the old artists in ancient times were ingenious, Ye Xun just made a suggestion here, and someone proposed that some ornaments or lights could be added to the snow sculpture, so that it would be more ornamental.
Listening to the suggestions of the old artists, Ye Xun couldn't help but feel good, but the time was a little short, otherwise Chinese New Year's Eve would be a grand scene again.
While talking, a guard came quickly, handed a secret report to Ye Xun, and turned to leave.
Ye Xun motioned for everyone to continue to speak freely, and turned around and walked out of the crowd, but before he could open the secret report, the person sent by Mu Zheng came over.
"Da Yu'er is here?"
After listening to the guard's report, Ye Xun couldn't help but be surprised, calculating the time, I haven't seen that girl for almost two years, right?
Thinking about Da Yu'er's strange thoughts, Ye Xun also had a hint of pride in her laughter, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's charm enough, how could she make this strong woman in history fall in love, but this girl is too small to bear to start!
After thinking about it, he opened the secret report and looked at it, and after only one glance, the whole person was stunned.
The secret report is from Japan, and the content is very simple, that is, Yun Niang gave birth, and she also gave birth to a big fat boy.
Although Ye Xun was bent on letting his descendants dominate Japan, when he knew that his descendants were born smoothly, his previous thoughts couldn't help but waver, not for anything else, just because Japan is an unreliable nation at all, what if he brings his children to bad when the time comes? ...
