Chapter 095: Fulfilling Promises (Five Watches)
When the British duchess saw this, she couldn't help but feel distressed.
Teenage children, who have just returned from sacrificing their lives on the battlefield, and now that they have finally returned home, they will naturally unconsciously relax and speak without measure.
However, distressed is distressed, and the admonition that should be given, the British duchess will not be short for half a sentence.
"Your father is right." The British duchess said softly, "Think about it carefully, but if you are cautious, you can almost be calculated last time?" ”
If it weren't for Huang Yining's kind-hearted heart and dedication to saving people, he happened to break the bureau set up by Ming Yi and Zheng Yuyan, I am afraid that the Ming family would be like a bone appendage, and he would not be able to get rid of it for the rest of his life.
Zhang Chi knew that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly clenched his fists to admit his mistake, and said: "The child knows that he is wrong, and he asks his father and mother to punish him." ”
Seeing this, the British public looked slightly gloomy.
The courage to know mistakes is not hopeless.
The British duchess sighed: "I know that you and Brother Lan have a deep brotherly relationship, and I am unhappy for him." That being the case, you should first figure out what happened. ”
After that, he told the whole story, including Huang Yi'an's request to ask her to cross his name from the post-election roster, and Feng Yongting's acceptance of money and property, not to mention anything, and to use this to repeatedly blackmail the British government, as well as Huang Yi'an's countermeasures.
Zhang Chi listened to it and looked ashamed.
If it weren't for the fact that he and Brother Lan took a thousand Imperial Forest Army to Jiayuguan west, violating Zhang Gui and Feng Yongting's stubborn plan, how could Feng Yongting deliberately take this opportunity to extort money, not to mention, and also put Miss Huang on the throne of the queen?
It is said that Miss Huang is the queen of the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces, but no one in the world knows that Feng Yongting is powerful and powerful, and he has won the trust of the Empress Dowager Li, and it is an easy thing for him to fan the gusts of wind and light the fire in the ears of the Empress Dowager Li.
Instead of worrying about them, Miss Huang also thought of ways to help curb Feng Yongting's threats and blackmail, which can be described as benevolent and righteous.
The British duchess said that, she didn't care about comforting her son, and hurriedly frowned and asked the British princess: "What do you think, what does Miss Huang think?" ”
The British Duke pondered for a moment and said, "Since Miss Huang's words are conclusive, I don't think it's chasing after the wind. Let's take a closer look. ”
If you want to threaten and counter a powerful eunuch like Feng Yongting and who has won the favor of the saints, you must come up with some convincing evidence.
The British duchess understood and nodded in response.
……
The second day is the Lantern Festival.
Early in the morning, Zhang Xi came.
Huang Yi'an was having breakfast, and when he learned that Zhang Xi hadn't had time to eat, he invited her to sit down and eat together.
On the table, there are red dates and glutinous rice porridge, large steamed buns with vegetarian filling, and a few side dishes.
When Zhang Xi saw it, he couldn't help but sigh.
Although Sister An was appointed as the queen, the life of the Huang family was as simple as ever.
Such a good girl, such a good family, is really a cheap emperor!
After breakfast, Huang Yi'an and Zhang Xi went to the West Chamber.
After gossiping, Huang Yi'an saw that Zhang Xi seemed to have something to say, so he branched out of Amei and the others.
Lan Xin also obediently went out and waited outside with Ah Mei.
Zhang Xi took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Huang Yi'an.
"What is this?" Huang Yi'an took it with a smile and asked casually.
"It was said that Brother Lan inquired about cotton cultivation in the northwest and the situation of long-staple cotton in Gaochang Kingdom." Zhang Xi sighed in a low voice.
Huang Yi'an's hand opened the seal, pinched the letter, and was speechless.
She still remembered Zhang Lan's promise when he left.
"By the way, when I get to the border, I can help you inquire about planting cotton, and I promise to be more careful than what Master Zhang said in his letter!" The young man smiled brightly and spoke softly, "When I come back, I will tell you in detail." ”
She thought that after the news of her being canonized as the queen spread, she and Zhang Lan would be completely cut off, and she never expected him to remember the promise he made before leaving.
The already thick letter in his hand suddenly seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
is so affectionate and affectionate, she can't afford it, and she can't repay it.
After a long time, Huang Yi'an muttered in a low voice: "I heard that the fourth young master did not follow the grandfather of the country this time and did not return to Beijing...... I failed him......"
Zhang Xi's eyes were slightly red, and he sighed in a low voice: "If you want to blame, blame this impermanent fate......
Let a pair of jade-like people have to end here, and it will never continue.
The two sat quietly for a long time by default, but Zhang Xi forced a smile and broke the silence.
"Since it's his intention, you can open it and take a look." Zhang Xi reluctantly smiled and persuaded, "Looking at this posture, Brother Lan will not return to Beijing in the next few years." If you are still determined to grow cotton in the northwest, he can help you take care of it......"
Huang Yi'an listened, smiled reluctantly, and his subordinates slowly opened the envelope, took out the letterhead, and unfolded it to see.
There is no title, and there is no reminiscence.
This is a pure account of cotton cultivation in the Northwest and long-staple cotton in the Gaochang Kingdom.
Huang Yi'an looked at it with guilt and anxiety.
Zhang Lan was afraid of causing her trouble, so he wrote a letter full of anger, resentment, and perhaps reluctance into an article purely about cotton planting.
The words that are restrained to indifference actually hide the deepest kindness.
After a long time, Huang Yi'an raised his head and handed the letter to Zhang Xi, who was sitting opposite.
Zhang Xi was stunned for a moment, didn't pick it up, and said abruptly: "This is a letter from Brother Lan to you......"
Why show her?
"Sister Zhang can see it at a glance." Huang Yi'an sighed, "There is nothing in the letter that cannot be said to others......"
Zhang Xi took the letter suspiciously, looked down, was relieved and sad, and after a while, he muttered: "This stupid boy ......"
This should be the first and last letter between the two, and it was written into an agricultural treatise by that stupid brother of his own, which is really ......
The world is infatuated, but that's it!
"After Sister Na An saw it, do you still plan to go to the northwest to plant cotton?" Zhang Xi asked tentatively.
In her selfish heart, she hoped that Sister An could leave a little thought for Brother Lan, but reason told her that the cleaner the break at this time, the better.
Huang Yi'an didn't hesitate without Zhang Xi's entanglement, and immediately replied when he heard this: "Of course!
"Since the fourth young master has found out that the cotton cultivation in the northwest is comparable to that in Shandong and Suzhou, and the long-staple cotton of Gaochangguo is also very likely to be planted in the Guannei, and a large number of seeds of long-staple cotton have also been obtained. With such a favorable time and place, it is natural to try planting! ”
Huang Yi'an's decisiveness surprised Zhang Xi and made her feel complicated.
Huang Yi'an knew what Zhang Xi was worried about, so he comforted her: "The fourth young master can write me such a letter, which shows that he is a pure and kind person. The only thing I can repay to him is to let border soldiers like him no longer have to endure the wind and freeze and defend against the enemy! ”
In the future, the weather will get colder and colder, the winter will be longer and longer, and the northwest soldiers in the bitter cold will have a greater and more urgent demand for cotton.
When Zhang Xi heard this, his heart was greatly shaken.
Sister An is young, but she can not forget her original intention in the predicament, which is really rare.
In this way, Sister An and Brother Lan are really a tight match!
It's all to blame for the emperor inserting this bar!
Zhang Xi gritted his teeth.
