Chapter 402: Provocation
There hasn't been much news in the north in the past few years, about a year and a half, and people outside can get some sporadic news, most of which are because the north has won another battle, how brave the generals of the northland are. :7777772e766f6474772e636f6d
In general, the news about that side is still quite mysterious.
Regarding the military aspect, Yan Qingge has always been insensitive and unconcerned, and it is only because of Yan Xiuyu that he listens to it from time to time.
She heard Yan Xiuyu talk about the news of the victory in the north a few days ago, but she didn't pay too much attention to it, but she didn't expect that there would be such a big battle this time, as well as the sacrifice of prisoners and the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky.
"Tell me, what's going on" Yan Qingge pulled Ling Xiao to sit down and speak with great interest.
Although Yan Xiuyu would also talk to her about this, what he usually talked about was what he received and came back all the way, what impact it had on a certain army, or what the tactics were like this time, which army and which battalion led the leader very well, etc., Yan Qingge didn't understand it at all, and felt that it was very boring.
But the news she got from Ling Xiao was different, what Ling Xiao said, she would be interested. As for those boring parts, it is estimated that Ling Xiao himself doesn't remember them very well.
Ling Xiao's eyebrows fluttered: "I just got the news from my brother." This time, the general over there, as if in winter, took advantage of the thick snow and didn't know what trick to use, and in one fell swoop defeated more than 30 tribes that had not yet been annexed, and collected more than 1,000 miles of land, as if they had all reached the northernmost seashore. There were nearly a thousand captives who refused to surrender, so he let the soldiers press them and sent them back to the capital. ”
"What's going on with the Heaven Sacrifice," Yan Qingge asked.
"The year before last, the city of the capital was broken, most of the people in the capital died, and even the ladies and princesses in the palace were destroyed. It seems that it is to comfort the spirits of the dead, and to take them to the outskirts of the city for human sacrifice. ”
Yan Qingge was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but think of henna zhu. Human sacrifice was not popular in the Great Zhou, and human sacrifice was a more popular practice on the part of the barbarians.
"Can those barbarians in the capital agree" Yan Qingge was a little worried.
"How can you not agree. The barbarians don't care about the captives. Besides, the people who have already surrendered have heard that they have been placed on the grassland very well, and not only can they graze as before, but we have also specially allocated some craftsmen and craftsmen to settle there, and from then on, they can also live a life with pots and bowls and cloth. ”
The two chatted for a while, Xue Yan came in and said cautiously: "Niangniang, Aunt Caifeng of the Yan family is here again, I told her that you have a guest and asked her to come over another day, but she said that there is something important to inform you, and it has something to do with our embroidery village." ”
Yan Ji Xiuzhuang is now operating in an orderly manner, it stands to reason that there will be no mistakes, Yan Qingge doesn't know what Aunt Caifeng has to say to her.
Ling Xiao knew that Yan Ji Embroidery Village was Yan Qingge's industry, and stuck out his tongue: "That's the only remaining aunt in your family, you call her in, and I will also come to chat with you." ”
Yan Qingge nodded: "It's good if you don't dislike it." This aunt of mine is a smart woman, and if she was really fine, she wouldn't be like this. ”
After Aunt Caifeng came in, she kowtowed to Yan Qingge and Ling Xiao when they met, she was sincerely afraid, and said that she shouldn't disturb Yan Qingge's reception.
"Get up and talk, what's wrong with Xiuzhuang?"
"Niangniang, do you remember the newly opened shop next door to the embroidery village, their people somehow found the house and said that they would like to ask the slave maid to go to their newly opened shop to do housekeeping. The slave was frightened, and Tete came to tell you about it. ”
Yan Qingge thought that he had rejected the barbarian, and the four princes would stop, but they didn't expect to start from Aunt Caifeng.
Aunt Caifeng is not Aunt Hai. Although Aunt Caifeng also has her little abacus, when she encounters a big event, she will always lean on Yan Qingge, which is why Yan Qingge has always tolerated some small actions of Aunt Caifeng.
She nodded to Aunt Caifeng: "You get up, it's not your fault." It's good that you turn them down, by the way, their new store, where is it?"
Aunt Caifeng hesitated for a moment and said, "It's open on Fuxiang Street in the east city of the outer city." ”
The storefronts in the East Market are more expensive than those in the West Market, and Fuxiang Street is a prosperous area in the East Market, which can be described as an inch of land.
Yan Qingge nodded, indicating that he understood, and asked his subordinates to go out with Aunt Caifeng.
Ling Xiao said curiously: "Is there a new embroidery workshop next door to your house?"
Because there are many hidden things involved in this matter, Yan Qingge did not say anything to Ling Xiao, nodded and said: "Yes, there is a new embroidery workshop next door to my house, and the embroidery in it is all copied from my family's embroidery village, and it is also shoddy." I didn't bother to bother with them because they hadn't officially opened yet, but I didn't expect them to jump up and open a new embroidery workshop, and find my mothers. ”
Ling Xiao was speechless: "There are such cheeky people." I guess they found your aunt, but I was afraid that I would use the embroidery pattern of Yan Ji Embroidery Village at home and be questioned by you. ”
"It's not that simple, those people not only want to embroider, but also want to swallow Yan Ji Embroidery." Yan Qingge said coldly: "They went to find Aunt Caifeng, how could they really ask her to be in charge, they were simply provoking me." I took this provocation. ”
"So what are you going to do?"
"Aren't they going to open a new store on Fuxiang Street, so I'll also buy a store on Fuxiang Street and open it next door to his house." Yan Qingge said.
"It's a bit too vindictive." Ling Xiao looked at Yan Qingge in surprise. I heard that a pregnant woman's temper will become bad when she is pregnant, and in Qingge, this is too obvious.
If you don't think about it anymore for Ling Xiao, it seems that after Yan Qingge got married, his temper became bigger and bigger. Where is like her, she was so flamboyant when she was a child, but after getting married, she became more and more cautious, and she got better after returning to her parents' home.
It seems that human nature is habitual, and it depends on whether you can meet the person who is willing to get used to her.
After listening to Yan Qingge's plan, Ling Xiao was a little interested: "The storefront on Fuxiang Street is not so easy to buy." However, if you ask Brother Yu to open his mouth to buy it, he will definitely be able to buy it. ”
"You don't have to buy it, you just rent one. I opened that store before, just to facilitate the placement of some people, not to do business. Yan Qingge said with a smile: "If you are bored at home, go to the new store to help and have fun." It won't take long to open left and right, and the door will close. ”
Ling Xiao was stunned: "Can I" She has lived so big, and she has never managed the store.
Yan Qingge smiled and touched Ling Xiao's hair: "What is this, you will be in the Ling family in the future, you must have your own industry in your hands." The Zhuangzi under your name is a little older, enough for you to eat and drink, and if you want to spend more, you can only rely on opening a store to do business, and you can't ask for any money in the public account. ”
Ling Xiao was deeply touched. The situation of her mother's family is still more complicated. When her mother was sick before, the powerlessness that constrained her made her almost crazy.
In the future, she will really reconcile and leave, and it is possible that she will live in the Ling family for the rest of her life. And the woman who left home, if she has no money in her hand, she can only rely on the snort of her brothers, sisters-in-law, and brothers-in-law to survive.
Since Yan Qingge had the heart to help her, of course Ling Xiao was not polite to her, and said with sparkling eyes: "Then I will take care of the store for you, and the business will be lost, don't blame me." ”
"What's the loss, it's just a thing to fight in the ring with people." Yan Qingge smiled: "Remember to bring your whip, I can't say that we have to go to the store next door again and again to find trouble, except for you, I am afraid that others will not be able to suppress it." ”
When Ling Xiao heard this, she was even more happy, this store was interesting, and it was too much for her to eat.
The two sisters chattered and laughed in the house, and it was not until Yan Xiuyu came back in the evening that Ling Xiao happily said goodbye and went back.
Yan Qingge pulled Yan Xiuyu and asked him to take down the shop next door to the newly opened shop of the nameless embroidery village on Fuxiang Street.
Yan Xiuyu heard her explain the cause and effect, and a small ripple gradually wrinkled into a small ripple on her handsome eyebrows.
"Is this difficult to do" Yan Qingge saw that he showed a very rare embarrassed expression, and looked at his fingers, a little apprehensive.
"It's not that hard. If it is said that our house wants it, it is more than someone who sent the deed of the shop. It's just that I thought of another thing and I was worried. ”
"What's the matter?"
"The mastermind behind the embroidery village is the four princes. The north side won a big victory, and he dared to do this, but he really ate the courage of an ambitious leopard. ”
"Is there anything to do with these two things?" asked Yan Qingge curiously.
"It's about military aircraft." Yan Xiuyu Dao.
When Yan Qingge heard this, he thought that Yan Xiuyu was going to say something about the layout of the march and battle, and shook his head: "I don't like to listen to those ones." Since the store can be plated, it's okay. Actually, I can ignore them, but who knows what they're going to do next. ”
Yan Xiuyu pulled Yan Qingge into his arms: "Don't be tired, Lang Zhong said that you should take care of the fetus in the first three months, and you always worry about this and that." ”
"Don't worry about it this time, I'll ask Ling Xiao to press the formation." Yan Qingge smiled slyly: "It just so happens that she also practices her hands, besides, the shop next door, Shui Mu's strength will not be small, and it is most suitable to ask Ling Xiao to make trouble." ”
"In that case, you should stay at home and keep you in confinement for eight months for your husband until the child is born." Yan Xiuyu pretended to be serious, and hugged Yan Qingge horizontally: "If you want to be confined, it's better to be confined to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, and we'll go back tomorrow, okay?"
As soon as he heard that he was going back to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, Yan Qingge was subconsciously unhappy: "What are you going to do?"
Every time she lives in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, her life is almost the same as being isolated from the world, and even the news she can get is what others say and she listens to, just like a marionette.
Yan Xiuyu saw that Yan Qingge was a little resistant to returning to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, and he was a little anxious in his heart, and he had an idea, and said: "After some time, the capital will sacrifice to the sky." The place of worship is on the outskirts of Beijing, I heard that most of the royal family will go, on the day of the festival, the city gate will be closed, even if it is our house, it is not easy to get in and out. It would be more convenient to go back to Zhuangzi in advance to live. ”
This reason persuaded Yan Qingge.
The royal lead in worshipping the sky is a rare grand occasion in a hundred years, and she doesn't want to miss it. So, Yan Qingge smiled sweetly at Yan Xiuyu: "Listen to you this time." ”
