Chapter 40: Minqiu Disaster Relief

Chapter 40 Minqiu Disaster Relief

The carriage was getting closer and closer, Yang Yuanqing's heart was pounding, he had already recognized the carriage, Yang Yuanqing urged the horse to run towards the carriage, and when he approached the carriage, the curtain opened, revealing a beautiful face, with shyness on his face, but his eyes were full of joy of reunion.

Yang Yuanqing also tightened the reins and stopped the war horse, they have been separated for a year and a half, although there is a Hongyan biography, but at this time, he still has a little feeling in his heart, strange, blank, or nervous, although this pretty face and beauty like the morning glow and snow, will make every man who sees her obsessed, he is also very intoxicated, but he feels that there is still something missing, an unforgettable thing, he himself does not know what it is.

Yang Yuanqing slowly urged the horse forward, and said with a slight smile: "What's the matter?" ”

Pei Minqiu's heart is like a full moon, night after night, the moon in her heart does not know how many times, and how many times it is missing, and finally looks forward to her lover back to her side, at this time, she doesn't care about the shyness in her heart, the excitement of reuniting after a long time makes her eyes a little red, she doesn't know what to do.

"Yuanqing, when did you come back?" Her voice was still soft, but she choked up a little, don't turn her head, don't let Yang Yuanqing see her tears.

Yang Yuanqing noticed the excitement in Min Qiu's heart, and he suddenly realized that an infatuated girl missed him, this girl who was about to become his wife, he shouldn't treat her so coldly, at this moment, Yang Yuanqing also felt a trace of guilt in his heart.

"I came back yesterday at noon and wanted to visit, but I was too busy and really didn't have time."

Yang Yuanqing's smile also became gentle, and the tiredness of a sleepless night disappeared when he saw her.

"I also heard about Beishi, and I thought it should be a night of sleep."

Min Qiu took out a food box from the carriage, she touched it, and said with a smile: "This is a few Hu cakes I baked in the morning, and they are still hot, so eat them while they are hot!" ”

Min Qiu's careful care flowed into Yang Yuanqing's heart like a clear spring, he took the food box, opened it, and inside was three evenly rolled Hu cakes, golden in color, charred and soft, and the fragrant meat sauce overflowed from the edge of the cake, exuding an attractive fragrance.

The hunger in his belly made it difficult for Yang Yuanqing to resist the temptation of the Hu Cakes, he lowered his head, swept away the three Hu Cakes like a wind and clouds, and wiped the oily corners of his mouth with some embarrassment.

Min Qiu saw that Yang Yuanqing was eating sweetly, she was very happy in her heart, and seeing that he was a little embarrassed to wipe his mouth, she couldn't help but smile and handed him her handkerchief, "Use this!" ”

The yarn was white and dust-free, Yang Yuanqing was reluctant to wipe his face, so he casually put it into his arms, quickly wiped the oil stains on his face with his sleeve, and couldn't help laughing.

Seeing that he actually put his handkerchief into his arms, Min Qiu suddenly blushed, and a trace of sweetness swelled in her heart, she took out a pot of wine for him, pursed her lips and smiled: "This is our Dali peach wine, it's not easy to buy, my maid ran to several wine stores to buy it." ”

"Thank you!"

Yang Yuanqing took the wine jug with a smile, raised his head and drank a few big sips, the feeling of being full of wine and food made him feel happy in his heart, at this time, the two maids got down from the carriage, each carrying five or six wine jugs, Yang Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, he understood, or Pei Minqiu was thoughtful!

He beckoned to Yang Dalang, Yang Dalang urged the horse to come, and Yang Yuanqing handed him more than a dozen wine jugs, which were for the brothers, and everyone took turns to drink a few sips to warm up their bodies.

Yang Dalang took the wine jug and gave Pei Minqiu a deep salute, "Thank you, master!" ”

Pei Minqiu's face turned even redder when he heard him call him his housewife, and he was a little embarrassed: "It's just a little bit of my mind." ”

Yang Dalang was overjoyed, carrying the wine jug and running to the crowd, he whispered a few words to everyone, and more than 100 soldiers shouted loudly with all their might: "Much-thanks-master-mother!" ”

Pei Minqiu was embarrassed, brushed the curtain shut, and Yang Yuanqing laughed, "These bunnies!" ”

He was in a good mood, and looked at the ox convoy full of grain packets, but he was stunned, he saw that there was a Pei house housekeeper in the team, thinking that this was the grain sent by the Pei family, but he found that it was wrong, each ox cart was inserted with an apricot yellow pennant, and the flag actually had a 'Yang' word written on it, what was going on?

Yang Yuanqing looked at Pei Minqiu, Pei Minqiu had just recovered from the embarrassment, and quietly pulled the curtain, she saw that Yang Yuanqing noticed the flag, so she smiled and said: "Yuanqing, this is actually food, and it has nothing to do with my family." ”

"My grain?" Yang Yuanqing was even more confused.

"Forgot the manor?"

Yang Yuanqing slapped his head at this time, and he remembered that last fall, he wrote to Pei Minqiu, asking her to have time to go to her manor to have a look, and it seemed that she had been there.

"This is the grain from my manor?"

"Hmm!"

Pei Minqiu nodded and said with a smile: "I saw that there was a lot of grain in stock, enough for tens of thousands of stones, and I happened to encounter a disaster, so I made the decision and asked my family to bring a little food back for me, in the name of disaster relief." ”

At this point, Pei Minqiu hesitated again and asked, "Yuan Qing,... You can't blame me for being troublesome, right? ”

Yang Yuanqing was moved in his heart and sighed, "How can I be weird and troublesome!" I thought of something I couldn't think of, and it was a good thing to give relief to the victims. ”

He patted the grain bag and asked, "How much grain has been brought back?" ”

Pei Minqiu thought for a while and said: "A total of 3,000 stone of grain has been allocated, and 2,000 stone of grain has been distributed to the women and children of the displaced people in Yanshi County, and 1,000 stone has been transported back. ”

'Tens of thousands of stones to store grain', this made Yang Yuanqing a little unexpected, he secretly thought in his heart, now the price of grain is high, but it is an opportunity, part of it is used for disaster relief, part of it is sold, and it can be used to stabilize grain prices, it can be described as fame and fortune, why not?

Thinking of this, Yang Yuanqing called Yang Shilang and Yang Wulang up and said to the two of them: "There is a more troublesome matter, and you two have to work hard. ”

"Childe though!"

"I have a manor, but I don't have it in Yanshi County, so the two of us will take a few brothers and hire a fleet to transport the grain from the manor to the capital as soon as possible, and we can transport as much as we can."

"Don't worry, Childe, we will do this as soon as possible!"

Yang Yuanqing gave them some more vouchers, and the two gave a salute, and then urged the horse to gallop away.

Pei Minqiu put on a hat, got out of the carriage, rode a horse and walked slowly with Yang Yuanqing, although according to the customs of the time, men and women generally do not meet after the marriage, and they will only get together after the cave house, but it is not absolute, especially in households, sons-in-law will often go to the future father-in-law's house to work and help, at this time they will meet their fiancΓ©es, and ordinary civilians are not so particular.

Although the Pei family has strict family rules, they also have a side of human affection, Yang Yuanqing only returned to the capital once by chance, and they should be allowed to meet, because of this, the Pei family is more tolerant of Pei Minqiu and does not prohibit her from seeing Yang Yuanqing.

The two have been together for a long time, and the tension in their hearts has slowly disappeared, although they have not talked about marriage, but the two have also lived their own lives for more than a year.

"Yuanqing, I listen to my grandmother, I am no longer in Wuyuan County, this time I will serve in the East Palace, will I stay in the capital in the future?"

Yang Yuanqing shook his head and sighed: "The emperor's heart is unpredictable, this time it is only a temporary appointment, I really don't know where it will be for me in the future." ”

After a pause, Yang Yuanqing said again: "I heard that the attention of the imperial court has shifted to the Western Regions, and maybe I will be asked to participate in the war in the Western Regions." ”

Yang Yuanqing looked back at Pei Minqiu, she was wearing a hat, a light veil covered her face, wearing a wide white dress, she showed her outstanding demeanor in the breeze, Pei Minqiu is sixteen years old this year, no longer as thin as before, slender and plump as a woman.

Pei Minqiu found that Yang Yuanqing was secretly looking at her, she was embarrassed for a while, lowered her head, and said, "Yuanqing, how long will you stay in the capital this time?" ”

This is the girl's subtlety, she is actually asking her lover, when will she marry her?

"There should be a while, a little free in two days, I will visit Lingzun Lingtang, what do they like? I'm a little better to buy a gift. ”

Pei Minqiu thought about it and smiled: "Actually, it doesn't matter, as long as it's something sent, they all like it, and don't be too rich, the Pei family doesn't like luxurious things, as long as it's their mind." ”

"It's better to give them what they like, I think it's more meaningful, look!"

"Alright then!"

Pei Minqiu had to smile helplessly: "My father likes to write, you can send him a set of four treasures of the study, my mother's side, you can send a silk to her, she likes purple, Yuanqing, and my grandmother's side, she also wants to send a silk satin, with a bit of rich patterns, these are enough." ”

"And what? What do you want? Yang Yuanqing smiled slightly.

Pei Minqiu lowered his head, hesitated for a long time, and said, "Yuanqing, tomorrow is my birthday." ”

Yang Yuanqing was stunned, it turned out that tomorrow was Min Qiu's sixteenth birthday, if Min Qiu didn't, he didn't know at all, he scratched his head and smiled: "Then I'll have dinner tomorrow night to celebrate my birthday." ”

Pei Minqiu glanced at him faintly, bit his lip lightly and said, "Don't you really understand what people mean?" ”

Yang Yuanqing really couldn't figure out her heart, so he had to smile bitterly: "I didn't sleep all night last night, and now my mind is a mess, stupider than a pig's brain, just tell me!" ”

Pei Minqiu couldn't help but smile, and said with a low smile: "I mean, I'll go see my parents tomorrow and congratulate me on my birthday in the evening." ”

Yang Yuanqing felt that she was really an idiot, tomorrow was Minqiu's birthday, of course her parents wanted to celebrate her, and they invited her to eat out.

He patted his forehead and said with a smile: "My brain is becoming more and more ignorant of human feelings, well, I will go to visit my parents tomorrow afternoon to celebrate my birthday!" ”

Pei Minqiu was afraid that he wouldn't be able to come if he had something, and when he saw that he agreed, he was happy in his heart, so he pursed his lips and smiled: "Then it's decided, no laipi is allowed!" ”

"Come by all means!"

Yang Yuanqing took out the Arctic Cold Jade Bow from his arms, quietly held her hand, and stuffed it in her palm, "This gift is a birthday gift from me." ”

Pei Minqiu's hand was held by him, she was ashamed, she turned her head away, and she didn't dare to look at him, but the gift that Yang Yuanqing gave her, she held it tightly in her hand.

At this time, Yang Dalang's shout came from afar, "General, someone is looking for it, there is something urgent!" ”

As soon as Yang Yuanqing turned around, he saw a middle-aged man standing on the side of the road, his face was full of anxiety, it was Yun Dingxing, it turned out that he was back.

Yang Yuanqing said to Pei Minqiu: "I have something, go back to the house first, and I'll see you tomorrow." ”

"Hmm!"

Pei Minqiu was happy in his heart, and told him again, "But you must come, this is my sixteenth birthday." ”

"I'll come!" Yang Yuanqing nodded slightly.
