On the day that Xun Guogong was escorted into Beijing, the sun was shining in Beijing, Huo Shui'er was drinking tea in the teahouse, originally preparing to go to the lake with Ji Yuan, but there was no one left and right, and Ji Yuan's side Lie Zhan came to spread the word that he wanted to see him today, and he couldn't get away for a while.

Huo Shui'er wanted to finish drinking this pot of tea and leave, but suddenly heard that there was a lively scene below, there was a sound of scolding, she put down the teacup, leaned against the window and looked down, and at a glance saw a man with a cloak and a sad face sitting in the prisoner car, and the long chains made a clanging sound with the movement of the prisoner car.

"Lord Xunguo." Seeing Huo Shui'er's puzzled expression, Zi Su stepped forward and said.

Huo Shui'er nodded, "It turned out to be the Duke of Xunguo." ”

's decadent appearance is not at all like the high-spirited Xunguo Gong who once held great power in the court.

But why he was so embarrassed, the common saying in the capital now is that he suffered many defeats on the front line. On that day, Hongling's envoy came from Mobei in a hurry, shouting all the way that Mobei was urgent. The report handed by the front line was that the war in Mobei was tight, the soldiers were ambushed, and the soldiers were lost countless times.

The general in charge of escorting the Duke of Xun Guo sat on a tall horse, a suit of armor glowing with a terrifying light in the sun, and the daughters who saw his appearance gasped, the man had dark skin, a long scar on his face, pulled from his eyebrows to his chin, and looked very scary, Huo Shui'er remembered him, he used to be Ji Yuan's guard, and later heard that he was in the army, because of his terrible appearance, so he left a deep impression on Huo Shui'er, seeing him, Huo Shui'er was sure that Ji Yuan's handwriting was in this matter.

However, since Ji Yuan dared to let his people mix, he might not have the intention of the saint. If there is still a trace of old feelings in my heart today, I will not let the former ministers suffer such humiliation.

"Girl, fresh mung bean cake." The red lily offered the treasure as if taking the pastry out of the food box.

"This box is exquisite." The texture of white jade, carved with jasmine patterns, also looks good.

Hongli covered her mouth and snickered, "This is a gift from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the girl." ”

Huo Shui'er hasn't received a lot of gadgets from Ji Yuan recently, but she really hasn't paid attention to this small box, and when she looks at the workmanship carefully, it is indeed very unique, and it is still early to see the time, "Why don't I go to the lake by myself." Put this pastry back, you're almost full of tea just now, and you can take a few steps to eat it later, and then go to the boat to eat again. ”

The prisoner car had already gone away, and several scholar-like people were still discussing, and a fat man said, "If you want me to say, this Xunguo Gong shouldn't have any major incidents, after all, it is a noble family, and the ancestors still have great military exploits, how can you say that it will fall?" ”

"Brother Fan's words are wrong, no matter what kind of family he is, when has he fought such a humiliating battle since the founding of Great Xia?" Another young man retorted, "Which of the Mobei guards is not a soldier of a hundred battles, when General Sun defeated the Beidi Arutai with 50,000 elite soldiers, he fought all the way to the outside of their Great Khan's royal tent. However, in just a few years, the Chaha Department is not as good as the original Arutai Department, and my Great Xia actually lost 100,000 elite soldiers in this war. It's heart-wrenching. ”

"The commander of the first army is not a god after all, and the changes in front of the two armies may not be the fault of the Lord of the Nation."

Huo Shui'er listened to their own opinions, but they really said that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, "It seems that everyone is very concerned about the results of the Duke of Xunguo." ”

Zi Su replied, "After all, Xun Guogong's father once made many military exploits in the southwest. ”

Huo Shui'er knows clearly, he was born in a big family, his father has made military achievements, and he is an official N generation, it is not so easy to really do Xun Guogong, it is said in the book, Ji Yuan has murderous intentions towards Xun Guogong, Xun Guogong, he will die. It seems that Ji Yuan has been busy for a while.

——————————————I'm the dividing line-————————---------——————

Daming Lake is quite lively, there are many vendors selling along the lake, many children put paper kites along the lakeside, the long line sways left and right in the sky, the lake is full of leaf-like boats, some people listen to the play on it, some people chant poems on it, and the vassal is elegant.

"Miss, do you want to take a boat?" It was not a man who rocked the boat, but a woman, Huo Shui'er felt that it was rare, so she decided to take her boat.

"Boatman, rock to the center of the lake."

"Okay." The woman was glad to respond.

"Auntie, I see that there are few women rocking boats on this Daming Lake." Huo Shui'er took the initiative to talk to the woman.

The woman turned around and smiled heartily, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, "My man died on the battlefield in Mobei, there are still babies to support at home, my mother-in-law cultivates the land at home, and there is little land, so I came out to do some work, I always have a lot of strength, there are many guests in the upper reaches of Daming Lake, and I can earn some money." ”

"Didn't the government give the money for the bereavement?" Huo Shui'er wondered, the soldier died in battle, and the family should have received a lot of pensions.

The woman shook her head while rocking the boat, "The government gave silver taels, but it is still too little for me, my son and daughter are young, and they still have to study for them after all, my man and I read less, and the children can't be like us, not only for our son to study and test for fame, but also for my daughter not to study, not to ask her to get fame, I just want her to be a good girl." ”

The Great Xia Dynasty has to provide for a person to spend a lot, and it also has to provide for his daughter to go to school, and most of the women in ordinary families can't read. No wonder this woman felt that the money given by the government was not enough, and she had to come out to do this work in the wind and sun.

Huo Shui'er felt that it was rare for a woman to have such an enlightened mind in ancient times, even if the other party was just a peasant woman, she also had some respect in her heart, "Your daughter must be very happy to have an enlightened mother like the eldest sister." ”

"My son is my child, and my daughter is also my child." The woman smiled. "That's all I can do, they still have a long life in the future."

Huo Shui'er nodded, "That's the reason." ”

The red lily laid out the mung bean cake, the pastry was soft but not greasy, and there was some mint coolness between the lips and teeth.

Shiso handed over a small teacup, "This is water brewed with fetal chrysanthemum and hawthorn, sweet and sour, it is the taste that the girl likes." ”

Huo Shui'er took it and nodded, "You're bothered." ”

"Shiso is really careful. The girl's usual clothes and perilla were steamed several times to ensure that they were soft and conformable. Even the paper used by the girl to practice calligraphy, she smoked soothing incense. Hongli's sincere praise made Shisu blush.

"As long as the girl feels comfortable." Shiso said embarrassedly.

"I'll just say why I've been sleeping so well lately, it turns out that Shiso is so thoughtful, thanks to you." Huo Shui'er suddenly realized that when she came to this world, she always had nightmares, but she has been much better recently, and she thought it was because she had adapted to this world. It turns out that the girl Shisu has been thinking of ways in small places.

Shisu still smiled shyly, she had always been quiet, but now she was silent again.

To say that the two girls that Ji Yuan gave her, Bai Zhi is excellent in martial arts, protects her left and right, and never slacks off, Zi Su is as careful as a hair, and she has good medical skills, and she regulates her body on weekdays, very carefully, none of them makes Huo Shui'er feel bad or overstepping, the only thing that hesitates is that after all, it is Ji Yuan's person, if they part ways with Ji Yuan in the future, they ......

Harm, after all, it hasn't reached that point yet, Huo Shui'er thought, feelings are all everywhere, who is the heart towards in the future, really not necessarily.
