Chapter 441: Jealousy

"General, please give the order, the last general will definitely use my life to complete." Xia Xiaoba said excitedly, the prince finally remembered him, he stood on the city wall for half a year, every time he watched his brothers lead the troops to chase the enemy, he was very envious, and now he finally has the opportunity to go into battle to nail the enemy.

Shi Tingyu nodded, quite satisfied with Xia Xiaoba, "You take two hundred guards to Xiaohan Mountain and bring the grain back." ”

"Ahh Xia Xiaoba almost didn't react, what did he tell him to do?

Transporting grain?

Xia Xiaoba's face was bitter all of a sudden, don't you! What he wants is to lead the troops to kill the enemy and be a majestic general, not a quartermaster who pulls grain! Let a group of brothers know that he went to transport grain, and he couldn't laugh until he dropped his pants.

Didn't you just let Commander Huang go back to Beijing to urge food? Why did he go to Xiaohan Mountain to pull grain?

The area around Xiaohan Mountain is vast and sparsely populated, where does the food come from?

I can't think of his sister.

Looking at Xia Xiaoba's expression, Shi Tingyu knew that he was unwilling, so he had to say with a straight face: "This matter is important, if you don't succeed, I will let Xia Wu go in person." ”

Hearing this, Xia Xiaoba suddenly came to his senses, and said anxiously: "General, I'll go."

The task that the fifth brother can receive must be a big task, which is related to the great responsibility of all the soldiers, and it is much more important than chasing a few poor men.

"Please rest assured that the general will complete the task."

Xia Xiaoba walked out of the camp tent with excitement, and quietly found his brother Xia Wu: "Fifth brother, where did Xiaohanshan get the food, why don't I know?" ”

He is still in the clouds now, and the prince will not lie to him with a cautious expression, but he really doesn't know that there is food in Xiaohan Mountain!

"After the last time the grain and grass were burned, the prince of the world made people plant grain in Xiaohan Mountain, which is very important, you have to be careful to pull the grain back, you can't have a little bit of a bad pool, otherwise you will come to see you." Xia Wu saw that there was no one left and right, so he whispered to his younger brother for guidance.

Xia Wu's face was solemn, how important the grain and grass were, and he was very uneasy when the prince handed over such an important task to Xiaoba.

"But why did the prince let Vice General Huang return to Beijing to urge food?" Xia Xiaoba didn't understand, why did he have to go back to Beijing to ask for food, don't say no, there is really food that has been deducted by those corrupt officials and old men in the household department, and how much grain can really go to the northwest.

Xia Wu sighed helplessly, he was helpless to take this stupid brother like an elm, and pointed his hand upwards to the capital, and said meaningfully: "General Huang is the one who is there." ”

"Ahh Xia Xiaoba finally understood, and was stunned for a moment, because he knew who the fifth brother did not say, so he was surprised.

General Huang is actually Liu Ce's person.

Incredible.

In an instant, he understood that the prince sent General Huang back to Beijing, obviously to urge food, but in fact it was a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.

He knew that his family was going to dig a pit for Liu Shoufu.

The people who were far away from Pingcheng did not know that Pingcheng, which was far away from the battlefield, was a scene of peace and tranquility.

The backyard of the prefect's house is even more lively today.

The sky cleared, and the noblewomen and wealthy ladies of Pingcheng gathered at the prefect's house to participate in the 100-day banquet of the little son of the Peng family.

The prefect's wife, Xu Sheng, has not given birth for many years, and this suddenly gave birth to a sister-in-law, which really shocked everyone, and the birth of a child who could not have children in the first place is tantamount to the iron tree blooming, and the old mussel is giving birth to pearls, you are not surprised.

And the name of Xiao Ming's divine doctor also spread all over the circle of noblewomen in Pingcheng.

Although Xiao Ming and the Xu family had a dislike after Aunt Yan's incident, Xiao Ming did not want to have more contact with the Xu family, but she couldn't stand the Xu family's invitation three times and five times.

In the end, the Xiao family still has to mix in the land of Peng Zhifu, Xiao Ming can't do a good job of not dealing with each other, plus the Xu family has handed out olive branches many times, Xiao Ming often sets foot in Peng Mansion to diagnose the new son's pulse.

Xu's child came in a hurry, his body was unhealthy since the day he landed, he was born prematurely, and he was weak and sickly.

Early in the morning, Yi Feng drove a carriage and took Xiao Ming and the four of them to Pingcheng.

On the way, Xiao Ming looked at the scenery flying outside the car window, thinking about the letter sent by Jiang Sihai yesterday in a daze, the grain and grass in the northwest are gone, and the imperial court is afraid that it will start collecting grain again in order to ensure the stability of the border.

After all, no one can starve the soldiers on the front line if they are hungry, and how can the soldiers defend the city and kill the enemy when they are hungry.

However, the people who had only paid the tax grain once already had little surplus grain, and if the imperial court levied it again, the people's lives would be even more difficult, and even the old and the new would not be continued.

Xiao Ming sighed, the people are the most bitter in the war.

In the carriage, Jiang Xiangyuan, the senior sister, was telling the two little sisters about today's itinerary: "We went shopping after lunch at Peng's house, went to my house for dinner at night, stayed at home, and went home tomorrow.

Between the words, Jiang Xiangyuan was very kind to Yueniang's sister-in-law, and the sister-in-law and sister-in-law screamed very affectionately.

"There's nothing to do in the prefect's house, and the boss who eats and drinks with the wives of everyone is uncomfortable, and he can't eat enough." Jiang Xiangyuan's face was disgusted, she didn't like to follow her mother to any banquet or something, those women looked at her as if they were looking at goods.

It's going to disgust her, and she has to smile at her.

Wang Yunling and Bai Xiaoyu also often go to Jiang's house as guests, and they have no objection to Jiang Xiangyuan's arrangement, Yueniang is also close to them, and every time they go to Jiang's house, Yueniang is very enthusiastic about them.

After successfully winning the two junior sisters, Jiang Xiangyuan looked at Xiao Ming who was in a daze on the side, touched her with her arm before saying, "Xiao Ming, what do you think?" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Ming nodded, absent-minded.

"Then let's settle it, let's eat and leave, don't be stumped by those people again."

"Hmm."

After a short time, the carriage drove into the alley in the backyard of the prefect's house, and the alley that could accommodate three cars in parallel was now crowded with carriages, large or small, luxurious or simple, and the voices of people were shouting and lively.

Xiao Ming's carriage was at the back, waiting for the prefect's housekeeper to arrange.

Who knows, before the carriage stopped, a housekeeper led the little girl forward.

The housekeeper looked at Xiao Ming in the carriage with a smile on her face: "But Doctor Xiao, please forgive me for being lazy in the hospital." ”

The mother-in-law was careful and looked at Xiao Ming with a flattering face.

"Mama is polite." Xiao Ming said politely.

"Madame has already instructed, let me not neglect Dr. Xiao, the carriage is blocked at this time, I can't pass by, please move Dr. Xiao, and the old slave will lead you in."

"I'm tired."

"No trouble, no trouble." The mother-in-law smiled flatteringly, wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead, but Mrs. personally explained that she asked Haosheng to entertain Xiao Ming, and she couldn't let Xiao Ming be a little dissatisfied.

She asked Xiao Ming to move in, she was also worried that Xiao Ming would lose her temper and let her eat Guiluo, but she didn't expect Xiao Ming to be so easy to speak.

Mama thought about it, while carefully leading Xiao Ming forward, at this time waiting in the backyard are the women of each mansion and horses, one by one sitting in the carriage waiting to enter the house, I didn't expect to see Xiao Ming and the four people led by the prefect's housekeeper Mama were surprised.

Whose girl is this so stylish, those of us with status and status are waiting, she can actually go in.

Disastrous.

The ladies and ladies of various families have speculated about whose daughter Xiao Ming is, and her status is so different.

"Mother, that's Xiao Ming." Zhou Lianrong opened the curtain and looked at Xiao Ming walking in front of her, her face was stunned, and after seeing the figure clearly, a wave of jealousy surged into her heart.
