Ruqing made a fox fur with a brocade fabric for Zhiyi, but the brim of the hat was inlaid with mink fur, the black of the hat, and the eagle embroidered with red money was also lifelike, especially the mink fur made of the edge of the brocade, the pure gold buttons, the black silk ribbon, draped on Zhiyi's body, suddenly showed momentum, majestic and magnificent, even the housekeeper and others praised Ruqing for doing a really good job, this piece of skuzi is worn on the body, it is indeed mighty.

Zhiyi also rarely boasted, "My sister is really ingenious." A few days ago, I stayed up late to make two pairs of shoes for my brother, and now I have made a cloak. It's so good-looking, it's no wonder that Li Xiao tastes it. ”

Ruqing raised her eyebrows, what does this have to do with Li Xiao?

Zhiyi smiled and said: "My sister doesn't know, Li Xiao scolded me for being shameless when I was still in the middle of the game." ”

"Shameless?" Ruqing said unhappily, "My sister makes clothes for my brother, it's a matter of course, why did he say that?" ”

Zhiyi was not as angry as Ruqing, but he was very happy, "Brother Wei said the same." But he didn't think so. ”

"Why? Does he have a stronger reason? ”

Zhiyi didn't say a word, just touched Ruqing's head, "Forget it, you are a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, it is best to keep some distance from this person." ”

Li Xiao's matter made Ruqing very crazy for a few days, but as the New Year is approaching, the New Year is approaching, there are a lot of things, and there is no time to hate Li Xiao's badness. Single-mindedly threw himself in the backyard and dealt with all kinds of official locks.

At this time, the Chinese pay attention to human relations, fully reflected, do a good job, twice the result with half the effort, the next year official luck enjoyment, do not do well, then be laughed at, maybe bad luck.

Bang Xue fell ill at this time, and the most important part of the year also fell on Ruqing, who at this time, she didn't even have the strength to scold Bang Xue. She can't be like before, when she encounters problems or obstacles, she can consult the old lady or He, in Zhiyi, she herself has to make the decision, she has to pretend to understand if she doesn't understand, and she has to do it if she can't do it.

The feeling of catching ducks on the shelves is really bad, especially under the obscenity of Cheng's mother. The ability to do things is becoming more and more incompetent, and the housekeeper is found from outside, and it is also a useless waste material, although after the iron-blooded taming of Zhiyi and Ruqing, he has the appearance of a housekeeper slightly, but in the preparation of New Year's goods and gifts, he can only be blind.

Ruqing wanted to ask Zhiyi for advice, but at this time, Zhiyi was busy renovating the city wall, training soldiers, arranging manpower on duty for the New Year, and discussing military aircraft matters with Li Xiao and others.

In Datong, in addition to the acting king, King Jing, and the governor of Shanxi, Zhiyi has the highest official position, and there are a lot of entertainment in the New Year. It's a pity that the "political opinions" of the three people are often not unified, Chaoyun generally takes Bang Xue's opinion as the standard, and Bang Xue's opinion Cheng Ma disagrees, and when the dispute continues, Cheng's mother will tell her like a sunny.

At this time, Ruqing, who had already listed the preferences and behavior of the generals in Datong, after some consideration, asked about the official position and rank, and directly issued an order to prepare gifts.

But Bang Xue is indeed a smart person, and he had a good deal with Ruqing before, so this time he adopted a roundabout tactic and blew the pillow wind directly in Zhiyi's ear.

And Ruqing had long expected that Bang Xue would do this, and in Zhiyi's outer study, Ruqing Ping retreated, and directly took the gift list and said to Zhiyi: "Brother, I know that my sister-in-law has a lot of opinions about the gifts I prepared. But listen to my sister. ”

Ruqing pointed to the gift list above, "The subordinate generals will send all the special products brought from the capital according to their rank, as well as the commonly used clothes, shoes and socks to keep warm." The rest of the colleagues who have a good relationship give more precious old wine and local delicacies that are very rare in the market. The relationship is ordinary or even ordinary, and they will send precious ancient jade and the like. Brother thinks, is my sister doing well? ”

Zhiyi took a closer look and said with a smile: "Why do you have to give valuable ones if you have an ordinary relationship?" ”

Ruqing explained with a smile, "Because people also send it heavily." She pointed to a figure on the gift list, "This General Hong's wife, yesterday I personally sent a sheep-fingered jade Buddha statue, my sister inquired in many ways, and learned that this General Hong and the eunuch Liu Li are very close, even if he is not a person who tends to be inflammatory, he is also a person who drills the camp and pats the horse, his brother is in the south, he is in the north, but he sent such a valuable gift from afar, either to ask for his brother, or to pull the cage to please." Such people also have to be extremely careful. My sister sent a peach bonsai made of equally valuable jade, and she also expressed her position on behalf of her brother. Brother thinks the sister is doing well? ”

Zhiyi nodded appreciatively, "My sister is thoughtful." Go on. ”

Zhiqing pointed to another one, "This General Cha's wife also sent someone to give a gift, last time I came to Datong, this Mrs. Cha came to visit, but now, she didn't come in person, but just sent a third-class mother-in-law to deliver items, either this person looks down on the identity of her sister's concubine, or, this Mrs. Cha has found a new backer." So the gift was really useless, and my sister also exchanged gifts, and also gave her a pair of healthy horses made of mutton fat. ”

Zhiyi almost stopped, "Isn't the healthy horse made of mutton fat still valuable?" ”

Ruqing grinned: "Brother, sister has inquired in many ways, this general is a rat, and the rat man is auspicious with cows, dragons, sheep, and monkeys, and is restrained from horses and dogs." So I sent him a horse and killed him. Who told him to have bad intentions and send a zodiac dog that restrains his brother. ”

Zhiyi smiled, "What should my sister do with that dog?" ”

Ruqing said: "I have taken it and packed it carefully and given it to Deputy General Li next to my brother." Ruqing explained, "This Vice Admiral Li was happy not long ago, and it happened to belong to a dog, so my sister changed the dog a little and gave it to him." "Now, Mrs. Li is grateful to her.

Next, Ruqing said that the gifts of other families, the palace sent a statue of the old gentleman who had opened the light, Ruqing felt that the king was the king of a province, what ancient treasures had not been seen, and no matter how valuable it was, it was estimated that it would not be appreciated. In particular, the king of the dynasty has been punished by the emperor for his tyranny and murder, and it is the time when he is trembling, and this old monarch can avoid disasters and eliminate difficulties, and keep peace forever. Listening to the housekeeper who came back, he was very happy to accept the statue of Laojun on behalf of the king, and immediately ordered someone to put the statue of Laojun on the desk in the study.

Then there is Li Xiao, the king of Jing, Ruqing is not welcome, Xingshi prepared a jar of old jar wine soaked with precious medicinal materials such as wolfberry, dogwood, Morinda officinalis, calamus, earth bone skin, raspberry, dodder seed, cistanche, cypress kernel, schisandra, rehman, yam, hyssop, eucommia, poria cocos, ginseng, wood, Sichuan pepper, Ze Yuan, Tiandong, wheat Dong and other precious medicinal materials, and then presented deer ears, bullwhips, tiger bones and other noble medicinal materials sent over.

The corners of Zhiyi's lips twitched: "Medicinal wine? Deer ears, bullwhips, tiger bones? This, aren't these all ......" Those two words he didn't feel anything, but in front of his sister who hadn't left the cabinet yet, he couldn't say it anyway.

Ruqing smiled very sincerely, and said: "Yes, these are extremely precious medicinal materials, although the Jingwang Mansion is rich and rivals the country, it is estimated that there will not be such a complete variety." Presumably, Li Xiao will be happy with the gift I gave him. ”

Zhiyi's eyes were almost dull, and he wanted to accuse, but seeing Ruqing smiling so sincerely and happily, the words of reprimand swallowed back to his throat, thinking in his heart, "I don't know what kind of festival these two people have, they actually look at each other so unpleasantly." Forget it, when you are free another day, go to Li Xiao's place to lie down in person. Confess to him. Then unconsciously, Zhiyi couldn't help touching a small package in his arms, looked at Ruqing's eyes that were almost smiling, and said in his heart: "Fortunately, the gift sent by Li Xiao was intercepted by me halfway, otherwise if it was sent to my sister, I don't know what it would be like?" Suddenly, Zhiyi was looking forward to what kind of expression Li Xiao would have after receiving the gift from Ruqing.
