Chapter 254: Beiyang Congratulatory Gift
North sun, yang up.
The summer of Beiyang is much more comfortable in the Central Plains, the relaxed wind blows slowly through the mountains, not like the Great Summer is the mountains and rivers that splash ink and paint heavily, here the atmosphere is magnificent, the turbulent river, the green grass is long, the steep mountain range, stretching for dozens of miles.
Bai Xining was wearing the traditional clothes of Beiyang, she liked this kind of clothes that were easy to move around and fast to get on the horse, which was much more comfortable than those long skirts that mopped the floor gently. She wore a close-fitting warm yellow short, azure trousers embroidered with water ripples, and brown leather boots with small jade rings inlaid on the sides.
Gu Zi'an came over to the next court, and it was expected that the harvest would double after the reform of the fertile land this year, and his face that was not sad and happy on weekdays also added a look of joy.
I saw Bai Xining holding a wooden piece in the courtyard, stepping on the stone bench with one foot, sweating profusely. The surrounding palace maids were no longer surprised, and she didn't need help, so she inserted the sawn wooden strips into the soil of a nine-foot sand table, and dug out a small gully between the soil with her hands, and slowly introduced the water flow from the green jade bowl. Bai Xining raised his eyes and saw Gu Zi'an coming, and smiled slightly.
"Found a good way?"
"Found it."
"You haven't slept in the past few days, and you don't know how to rest." Gu Zi'an hugged Bai Xining over, "I don't know, I thought that the widow married a craftsman and came back." โ
"What's wrong with the craftsman, only with ingenuity can things be done." Bai Xining laughed and tossed away a wisp of petals on Gu Zi'an's forehead, "Are you all deployed?" โ
"All are secure, as long as the nations change, they will soon be able to set off." Gu Zi'an said firmly, "Madame, I also have a flood management method, and I don't have to worry about entering Baiyue." โ
Bai Xining sighed, "It's easy to destroy a city, but it's really difficult to restore a city, and the city of Baiyue is going to be so deserted." However, we have to build it, and if one day the king looks at the land of the Southern Wei Dynasty, it may come in handy. She naturally knew that the person in front of her was ambitious and had the direction of encroaching on the world.
In the hands of the former king, Beiyang grew into a generation of power, although the north is still infested by Rongdi, and the borders on all sides are still bordering the four countries, but it is still like a tiger without fear.
If it was the loss of troops and the loss of the army and the hostage of the prince, perhaps Beiyang had annexed the surrounding powers, completely swallowed the north, and invaded the Central Plains. It's just that everything doesn't need to be assumed, and it's a good idea to start all over again, without burdens.
The slow wind blew the jingle on the hairpin on Bai Xining's head.
"Thank you, ma'am." The corners of Gu Zi'an's mouth couldn't hide a smile, "Now that the Great Xia War has just ended, I can't breathe, and I will be busy with my wife." โ
Bai Xining smiled, "What's this, there will be more wind and snow in the future." โ
Butterflies fluttered beside her, and two or three cats raised in the court rolled lazily at Gu Zi'an's feet.
"Spring Flower Hall has all been settled?"
"Even the commercial tax reduction and exemption is handled by Li Ke himself."
"Did Ji Lao ask?"
"The old prime minister has just recovered from a serious illness, and the widow will go to discuss Yan Rong's matter in two days."
"That's good." Bai Xining smiled, and Gu Zi'an's face was calm. She suddenly thought of her master's words, it is difficult to have calm in order to do great things. "The boss of Chunhuatang is my old friend, and there is nothing to worry about when I send someone to settle it properly, it is a shop all over the world, and the weapons and treasures between the exchanges are all through Meng Zhaozhao's hands. With her, I am not afraid that Beiyang will not be able to business Jia Hengtong. โ
"With you planning for the widow, although I got a lady, it seems that I got thousands of troops! This time, the first batch of businessmen have come to Yangshang, and Beiyang will not only know how to feed the war as in the past, but will be more prosperous and prosperous. Gu Zi'an's eyes flickered with the light of the sun.
"Newspaperโ"
"What?"
"The envoys of Great Xia came to meet him."
"Main hall, please." Gu Zi'an thought about it, and asked people to retreat first, "It must be Xie sent troops to help, go with me." โ
On the top of the main hall, Gu Zi'an was sitting precariously, and Bai Xining was wearing a snow-white long skirt and sitting aside. The envoys of Great Xia came to thank the King of Beiyang for rescuing the siege of Chengping with treasures. He sang the praises of virtue and asked people to present a list of gifts for this thank-you.
The golden silk silk is written one stroke at a time, gold, pearls, precious stones, silk silk, embroidery, as well as all kinds of calligraphy and paintings, treasure boxes, etc., which make people dazzled, it is said that the carriage walks mightily in the Yangshang City, attracting thousands of onlookers. There are also large chests covered with cloth embroidered with delicate mandarin ducks, and the people say that it is the dowry of which princess.
Bai Xining flipped through the list and suddenly asked, "Why are there two copies?" โ
The Great Xia envoy smiled slightly, and guessed this question, "Two copies, the first one is to thank the king for sending troops." The second is a congratulatory gift prepared by our king for the princess who has just been canonized. โ
"Congratulatory gifts? Princess? Bai Xining frowned, "Which princess?" Is it that King Xia has a crush on which princess in Beiyang? โ
The envoy giggled, "It's your own sister, Queen, who I used to recognize as my sister-in-law, canonized as a princess, and retained the title of general." Forgive the foreign minister's words, now the princess's reputation is well-known in Great Xia, who doesn't know that there is a female general who fought on the battlefield and lived and died together. โ
Gu Zi'an's eyes lit up, and even Bai Xining was taken aback. The news of the assassination of Tun came non-stop in the past few days, he knew that Meng Yining had been killed and died several times in Great Xia, and Bai Xining couldn't sleep for more than a month and night, looking forward to the news every night, and he was very afraid of what terrible news he received.
She Bai Xining lost and gained in this life, and she was even more afraid of losing. But she didn't dare to tell Gu Zi'an every night, for fear that her anxious and irritable mind would disturb his mind.
Day and night, finally looking forward to the day when Yan Rong retired from the army, her sister only left a sentence to go to Yan Rong with Le Yi and ran away.
Bai Xining was the eldest sister, but she gave birth to a mother-like heart. Now that I suddenly heard that Meng Yining was canonized as a princess, I was in a trance.
"Princess?" She laughed, "That's going to have more love from King Xia." โ
Gu Zi'an had long known Jing Chi's thoughts about Meng Yining, but Meng Yining's family revenge had not been avenged, how could she be at ease with the love of her children, and besides, she herself was a person who killed and galloped decisively on the battlefield, and she would not succumb to others, but should let her give it a go.
"Newspaperโ"
Before the voice of the newspaper was finished, Meng Yining was heard shouting outside the palace gate: "This girl, I'm back!" โ
It was as bold as a wild horse, and everyone fluttered out of it.
