Chapter 234: Finally Home
The dripping rain stirred people's minds.
Qin Xiang pushed open the window, looked at the mud downstairs, and sighed with his cheeks in his hands.
The sewing machine test is good, and she has asked the old craftsman to help contact the craftsman for mass production. It stands to reason that she should be on her way home now, but who would have thought that the sky would not be beautiful, and it had been raining heavily for four or five days.
After being away for so long, she also misses the little balls at home, as well as the high bed and soft pillows.
I don't know if they are doing well in the past few days since she left.
Han Yunxiao came in from outside the door, bringing a cool water vapor all over his body.
Qin Xiang hurriedly unfolded a dry cloth towel and took it to wipe his body.
"It's raining so hard outside, why don't you use an umbrella?"
"Just go to the teahouse opposite, not far." Wiping his wet hair, and seeing that the woman was still by his side, Han Yunxiao said helplessly: "I'm cold, be careful that the cold passes, and you will have a stomachache when you turn around." ”
Qin Xiang's face flushed, and the cloth towel in his hand was thrown directly to him, and he sat down by the window, holding the tea bowl and taking a sip.
In addition to not being able to go on the road because of the rain, but also because she happened to be a little girl.
But after eating more bowls of ice drinks, my stomach hurts badly at night. It was difficult to travel on the rainy day on the second day, so Han Yunxiao immediately decided to stay in the inn.
Luckily he didn't say much, otherwise she would have been ashamed to death.
Han Yunxiao cleaned up, and when he saw Qin Xiang looking out of the window with a blank expression, he simply came over and snatched the cold tea in her hand and drank it all, and closed the window.
"Huh?" Qin Xiang came back to his senses, and was stuffed into the quilt by Han Yunxiao. "Hey!"
"My hands and feet are cold." While complaining, he used internal force to warm her hands and feet.
Qin Xiang smiled at this time, "I haven't washed my feet yet." ”
Han Yunxiao glanced at her and deliberately shook his five fingers in front of her, "I didn't wash my hands either." ”
Qin Xiang rolled his eyes, leaned back on the pillow comfortably, and couldn't help muttering: "I don't know when this rain is going to fall, it feels like the sky is leaking a hole." ”
"It's raining." Han Yunxiao looked in the direction of the window, "I heard that there is a great drought in the south, which has caused a locust plague, and the people's crops have been affected. If this rain had rained in the south for a few days, flooding the locust nests and drowning the adults and eggs, the people would still be able to breathe. ”
Qin Xiang also vaguely heard about the locust plague in the south, and nodded his head: "This is true. There is a great drought in the south, and the imperial court always has to go to disaster relief. ”
"I'm afraid that there will be moths, and they will be greedy for this silver."
When Qin Xiang heard this, he first felt that it was impossible, and then he felt that it was impossible.
Han Yunxiao didn't notice her expression and continued: "Every time the disaster relief silver is given, there are always people who are greedy for ink, and it just depends on the more and the less. The people above also turn a blind eye, as long as it is not excessive, most of them will not care. ”
"You seem to have a lot of experience." Qin Xiang looked at him rarely, and said with a smile: "My father-in-law knows a lot. ”
The cold face was like a spoonful of hot soup poured into it, and it gradually melted away and only the warmth remained, and a light smile overflowed at the corner of Han Yunxiao's lips: "When I was wandering outside in my early years, I listened to what others said. Not only is he greedy for disaster relief money, but he is also greedy for military expenses sent to the border gates.
As a general, he saw that his soldiers could not eat enough and wear warm clothes, so he asked for an excerpt and asked the court to issue military expenses. But it was rejected several times, on the grounds that there was no war to fight, and what was the use of raising soldiers. ”
"This emperor ...... Is there a straw in his head? "As a modern person, Qin Xiang grew up under the red flag and lived in a fairly peaceful country. But outside her country, wars are frequent and people are displaced.
Her country is not a great power because it is strong. Such strength comes from their great nation, from their country's strong military strength and developed science and technology.
There is no country that wants to be the enemy of a powerful country. But outside Xiyan, how many external forces are eyeing each other, and they all want to bite off a piece of meat from Xiyan. In this case, even the number of troops was reduced?
Qin Xiang's attention was on the emperor's disregard for the safety of the people, and he didn't notice that what Han Yunxiao said was far from being a secret that a rural hunter could know.
"What happened to the general? Do you just watch? Qin Xiang blinked his eyes and looked worried. Wouldn't it cause a mutiny if the soldiers at the border were not fed? ”
"The emperor is jealous of the general's popularity, and some people around him have slandered him, saying that the general's merits are high." Han Yunxiao's eyes flashed slightly, and he sneered and said, "The general has resigned and gone into hiding." The newly appointed general is the emperor's man, but he is a straw bag with an empty head and only knows how to talk on paper. When he was a year old, Sidi invaded, and this straw bag was so frightened that he peed his pants and lost three cities in a row. ”
When Qin Xiang heard this, he simply gasped, he couldn't believe that there was such a timid general.
"And after that? Wasn't this man punished? ”
Han Yunxiao touched her hair and said quietly: "That's the queen's own nephew, who is deeply favored." After some operation, the matter of losing the city was placed on the head of the deputy general, and the head of the person was directly cut off. ”
"It's too much!" Qin Xiang said indignantly: "If this continues, this country will be finished!" ”
Han Yunxiao smiled, and his tone was light: "But some people know what the consequences of this will be, but they don't care at all. ”
Qin Xiang never expected that the emperor would be such a person.
"If Sidi really came in, wouldn't it be ......" Qin Xiang pursed his lips, really worried.
"There's always a way." Han Yunxiao warmed her feet, and said indifferently: "A living person can still suffocate urine." ”
"You...... You swear. ”
In the teahouse, the man in the cloak did not leave. He looked in the direction of the inn and shook his head.
"What's deep?" Li Zhi glanced at him and ate the snacks on his plate. "It's the owner's business that should be used to use your brain, what are you worried about."
The man in the cloak sneered, undisguised his disgust: "With your IQ, it's no wonder that you have to be punished by the owner for three days." ”
"Hey, you're ......"
The proprietor is still thinking about the brothers. In the past few years, the brothers have followed the owner back from the border pass, and they are all holding back their energy. One day, the big guy will return to the battlefield. ”
Li Zhi's eating movements slowed down, and he said after a while: "I think it's good now." The brothers do things in private, they don't have to be bound by those rules, and they don't have to worry about dying on the battlefield one day. ”
The cloaked man fell silent.
After several days of rain, it finally cleared up on the fifth day.
Qin Xiang stayed in the inn for five days, and he felt that his whole body was going to be moldy.
"Tomorrow."
When we set out, it was past the hour, and the sun was high. The sun was roasting all day yesterday, and the ground was still muddy.
Qin Xiang carried the hem of his skirt and carefully boarded the carriage. Unlike when it came, the carriage has been replaced with a wide, large, and comfortable one.
Accompanied by a very dilapidated carriage, it was not even a horse, but a donkey.
The old craftsman waved at Qin Xiang with a smile, ignoring Han Yunxiao's cold face.
"I heard you say how good that town is, so I thought about going over and taking a look, and I just took the opportunity to ......."
"It's great that you're here. Although we are not as lively as the capital, the people are outstanding and the air is good. There are still a lot of prey in the nearby mountains, so go back and let Xiang Gong catch a few hares and roast them to serve you wine. ”
The old craftsman couldn't stop nodding his head, and he couldn't wait to fly to the county seat immediately.
On the way back, it was much lighter.
Xu is heart is like an arrow, and Qin Xiang's mood is also as excited as a bird.
The incident of encountering a black shop on the last way made her afraid, and seeing that she was about to reach the vicinity of the inn, she couldn't help but tighten Han Yunxiao's sleeves.
A cold color flashed in the man's eyes, and he patted the back of her hand comfortingly, and said, "Don't be afraid." ”
Accompanying the building of the inn appeared in Qin Xiang's sight little by little, she suddenly let out a 'huh'. I saw that the inn was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and the innkeeper and Xiao Er were all handcuffed and shackled.
The first person was still an acquaintance, and it was the young man who had previously taken the holy decree to 'invite' Qin Xiang into the palace.
"Let's find out what's going on."
Li Zhi glanced at Han Yunxiao and immediately jumped out of the carriage. After a while, he returned.
"It was a notorious black shop, and all the tourists who stayed in the hotel lost a small amount of money, and even lost their lives directly. Unexpectedly, this time he hit the muzzle of the gun and tied up the son of a first-class master. ”
After Li Zhi finished speaking, he quietly shook his head at Han Yunxiao.
Han Yunxiao pursed his lips, and a flash of thought flashed in his eyes.
They only thought about checking the people behind the black shop a few days ago, and the black shop was connected by the government, which made him have to be vigilant.
Was it a coincidence, or did the news really leak?
"Great, this group of people should be arrested, and there will be people who will be deceived in the future." Qin Xiang patted his chest, looking afraid: "Fortunately, we escaped that day, otherwise I don't know what will happen." ”
The carriage restarted, and when passing by Li Yunqi's side, Li Zhi exchanged glances with him.
Leaving the boundaries of the capital, the roads became narrower and more muddy. The wheels get stuck in the mud from time to time, so get down and walk around often.
It's been seven days since I arrived in the county seat.
After a tiring journey, everyone was exhausted, and they couldn't care about greetings, so they went to rest.
In the early morning of the second day, sleeping in the familiar bed, Qin Xiang seemed to have returned to heaven, and he was at ease.
"Mother!"
Before he could open his eyes, the voices of the little group came from outside the door.
Qin Xiang could only prop himself up and try to open his eyes, and then he saw Han Tongtong holding a flower, followed by Han Ziyan, who was pretending to be a little adult.
On the smiling face of the little group, no matter how much trouble there is, it will fly away.
Qin Xiang beckoned them and called them over.
Han Tongtong's eyes were bright, and he handed her the little flower that he had held for a long time.
"Huahua, as beautiful as a mother."
Han Ziyan twisted and explained in a low voice: "It's my sister's own flowers, and I don't have them." ”
When Qin Xiang heard this, her eyes softened more and more, she put the flower hairpin on her sideburns, and asked with a smile: "Is it good-looking?" ”
Han Tongtong clapped his hands and was overjoyed.
I don't know when, Han Yunxiao came in from outside the door, looking at the happy lady, her eyes were full of happiness.
For the sake of this family, what if he gave his life.
