Chapter 109: Garrison the Frontier

Roll the mixed filling into a circle, dip it in water and roll it in glutinous rice flour, and repeat it several times before the Lantern Festival is ready.

The boiled Lantern Festival costs one bowl per person, and some are fried in oil and eaten as pastries.

Xue'er ate glutinous rice balls in her previous life, and it was the first time she ate Lantern Festival.

However, the handmade Lantern Festival tastes sweet, and it tastes more than the glutinous rice balls.

At the same time, far away in the imperial capital of Chang'an.

Xuanyuan Che finished the Lantern Festival with his family, and he discussed things with Emperor Xuanyuan alone in his bedroom.

Facing Emperor Xuanyuan, who was sitting at the top, he knelt upright, straightened his upper body, clenched his fists, and said with a firm gaze, "Father, this matter has been discussed with the prince's brother, and he also supports his son."

The son knew that he was still young, and his father was reluctant.

But his father followed his grandfather to fight the world at this age.

Now that the sons enjoy the glory of their ancestors, they often feel that they are worthless, and their hearts are very uneasy.

This world belongs to the father, and in the future it will be the second brother of the prince, but it is also Xuanyuan's.

Since Erchen is also a member of the Xuanyuan clan, then Erchen also bears the responsibility of his family and country.

Erchen has been determined to be a virtuous king since he was sensible, just like the two uncles stationed on the frontier for his father.

Erchen first followed his grandfather to temper himself at the border pass, so that he would not live up to the trust and expectations of his father and the second brother of the crown prince in the future.

Erchen can just enter the Feng family army as a soldier, and everything starts from scratch.

The son is confident that he will not disappoint his father! Won't disgrace the Xuanyuan clan! ”

Emperor Xuanyuan looked at Xuanyuan Che in front of him proudly, and his old arms comforted.

He also had a sweet time with the young couple of the Queen Feng family.

It's just that with the rise of the Feng family's army, as the men of the Feng family become more and more powerful, she doesn't dare to pamper the Feng family too much, worried that her relatives will ruin the Xuanyuan family's country in the future.

Even if he didn't have much favor, the Feng family gave birth to two sons and two daughters.

In all fairness, all four children are excellent.

Not to mention the two daughters, Prince Xuanyuan Jie alone has the demeanor of his youth, and as far as the prince is concerned, he is definitely competent.

And this second son is not far behind, he has been very intelligent since he was a child, and he is erudite and talented, has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and is familiar with the art of war and war books, so he can be said to be an all-round talent in civil and military affairs.

In addition to the incomplete pentatonic sound, it is really difficult for him to see any shortcomings.

This child is also the best-looking of his many children, the one who is most like him.

To be honest, he is really reluctant to let his child go at such a young age.

But what the child said was right, he followed his father to fight in the north and south in the year of the dance, how high-spirited he was at that time!

Emperor Xuanyuan got up, walked in front of Xuanyuan Che, helped him up with his own hands and said, "Good boy, I know that you are an aspirant. I can't bear it, but you're right.

If you don't go out to face real swords and guns, you can only talk about it on paper, and you will never be a real commander.

I had planned to wait another two years, and after I had made a marriage contract for you, I would let you go.

Now it seems that if you are not allowed to leave, you will always think that you will not be able to do anything.

So it's as you wish! As for the future princess, we will talk about it then. ”

The two of them sat down separately, and Emperor Xuanyuan continued, "This time you go north, you can go directly." ”

Xuanyuan Che wanted to say something, but Emperor Xuanyuan waved his hand to stop, "You listen to your father." After that, I will not interfere with your training in the Feng family's army.

But after all, you are my son, and you are still my son-in-law. Your identity is predestined, and no one dares to be disrespectful to you.

When you go to the army, you have to watch more, observe more, and sharpen more. But don't forget your own safety.

Your queen mother is not in good health, you ...... Don't let her worry about you.

I want you to be safe, you know? ”

Feng was depressed because of his own neglect, and he has been depressed all these years, and he often lingers on the sickbed.

He has always felt guilty about this wife.

He can only compensate for the guilt in his heart on the children born by the Feng family to ensure that they have no worries in their lives.

Xuanyuan Che saw that his father did not object, and his heart was ecstatic.

But his face could still hold on, he smiled and said, "Father, don't worry, the son will put his own safety first." Filial piety comes first, and sons know it! ”

Not to mention how Xuanyuan Che finally persuaded his mother here that he planned to do it two years in advance.

After the Spring Festival, although the weather in Changhai County is still very cold, it is still much warmer than in winter.

The earth is slowly warming up, and this year, Dong Changhe has hired a few more long-term workers in the village to do the work in the fields.

Yun and Xue'er are only responsible for housework at home, just take Dong Chengze.

But the Yun family is an idle man, always worried about the work in the field, and often takes time to supervise those long-term workers.

Sometimes he will also help with spring shearing to reduce Dong Changhe's workload.

In the early days, there was not much work in the fields, that is, to send those farmhouse manure that had been soaked for more than half a year to the fields, and then use plough sticks to turn the ground and burn the straw in the fields when they were civilized.

The Yun family is an expert in doing this, for fear that the long-term workers will be fooled.

In Xue'er's opinion, the Yun family is the kind of person who can't wait for everything and can do it himself.

Dong Changhe didn't know what to think about and decided to expand the house.

When the current house was being built, there was some surplus wealth in the back. Nowadays, you can only plant a small number of peach trees, so you don't have to worry about not having enough space to expand.

It's just that the sheds and back walls where these animals live now will need to be demolished when the houses are built in the future.

These are things that Cher can't participate in now.

Dong Changhe has recently been working in Shuijiazhuang every day for half a day, and then at home in the afternoon.

He found the craftsman who had built the old house in the first place.

This person is also surnamed Cai, and he is a relative of the eldest aunt Cai's family.

Master Cai is a well-known foreman and has a group of craftsmen and small workers who make a living from it.

This person is not very old, that is, he is not confused, he dresses a little casually, and he is more easy-going.

It was not the first time Dong Changhe had dealt with him, and after he said his thoughts, all the work was contracted to him, including the furniture in the house. But it is a contractor who does not pack materials.

Because Dong Changhe has a wide range of contacts, he knows all the sellers of all the raw materials needed to build a house.

This will save him a large part of his money.

Master Cai was invited to Dong Changhe's home, and according to Dong Changhe's design requirements, after on-site investigation, the other party calculated the amount of raw materials, and then Dong Changhe arranged when to buy what raw materials according to his needs.

Five days later, raw materials were delivered to Dong's family one after another.

After calculating the day of groundbreaking, Master Cai's people soon arrived at Dong's house and began the work of laying the foundation and building the wall.
