Chapter 562: Old Friends

() Unable to support it financially, Emperor Zhou Qing turned to the military department again: "There are heavy casualties at the border passes, and the commanders in various places have asked for additional soldiers, and in terms of conscription, the military department ........."

Before he finished speaking, the secretary of the military department had already stood up: "Back to the emperor, there have been frequent natural disasters in various places recently, and the population of the people has been greatly reduced by this, and the last small-scale conscription has been laborious, if it is re-enlisted, I am afraid that it will ............"

What are you afraid of, although the military department Shangshu didn't say it, Emperor Zhou Qing understood it in seconds.

"Your Majesty, the finances and troops are unable to support the continuation of the war, and I also ask the emperor to put the country first and send envoys to the border for peace talks." At this time, the right minister gave another admonition.

General Li hurriedly said: "No, the ambition of the wolf son of the four countries, once it shows weakness, the Great Zhou will be overthrown in front of you, and please think twice." “

"General Lee." The right minister raised his eyebrows and shouted: "The treasury is empty, if taxes are forcibly levied at this time, not to mention the outside, it will first cause internal strife, and then the internal and external troubles, how will I continue to do it." “

"This ......," General Lee was choked in.

Emperor Zhou Qing, who was at the top, listened to the argument below, and his brows were furrowed.

According to what he thinks in his heart, he naturally agrees with what General Li said, but what the right minister said is also true, at the moment, the treasury is empty, and the manpower is not enough, he just wants to be a strong king, sweeping the four countries, and he can only look at the ocean and sigh.

After a moment, he sighed and looked at the ministers below..............

...................

Xu Qingyan didn't know anything about the controversy and entanglement in the court, and at this moment she had just entered the city with Miss Liu and her party.

Don't look at the border passes and fight everywhere, but the Beijing division is the Beijing division, and the prosperity is still the same.

The people don't know the border beacon fire at all, and at the moment they are still shopping as usual, the shops on both sides of the city gate are very lively, and the streets are full of people.

It was the first time for Miss Liu to enter Beijing, and she was a little stunned for a while when she looked at such a prosperous capital.

When the carriage arrived at Suzaku Street, a shop with a tender green decoration stood out among the vermilion and caught her eye.

"Miss, you see, it's Half Lotus Pavilion." At this time, the spring flower next to him suddenly shouted.

Only then did Miss Liu notice the sign hanging on the door of the shop, and immediately exclaimed: "Oh, really, no wonder it's different." ”

Last year, her father asked her to bring her two things from the capital, she didn't care about it at first, but after using it, it was really amazing, and then she often wrote to her father to bring her some.

Master Liu also really loves his daughter, and after receiving the letter, he sent his concubine in Beijing to go to the Half Lotus Pavilion to choose it in person.

It's just that the little concubine had other thoughts, and after going to the Half Lotus Pavilion for a turn, she turned around and said to Master Liu, the things that Miss wanted were sold out, and she only chose the fragrance dew and bought two of these irrelevant ones, but the main products like peach cream, cleansing liquid and snow muscle liquid were the same.

Master Liu, how could a big man really inquire about this, coupled with the rules of the ban on men in the Half Lotus Pavilion, it didn't take long to throw it away, so every time Miss Liu received something from the capital, there were only one or two things.

Therefore, when she suddenly saw Banlian Pavilion, Miss Liu was so excited that she couldn't control herself, and she hurriedly ordered the coachman: "Stop." “

"Stop."

The latter sentence comes from Xu Qingyan.

When Miss Liu got out of the car and saw that Xu Qingyan's brothers and sisters also got out of the car, she couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Why did you come down too?" ”

Xu Qingyan smiled slightly, stepped forward and said, "When you arrive at your door, you naturally want to go in and have a look." “

On your doorstep?

What do you mean?

Miss Liu didn't understand for a while.

was about to ask again, but saw that Xu Qingyan had already turned her feet and walked towards the Half Lotus Pavilion, so she was so busy chasing after her: "Hey, let me tell you, the things in this Half Lotus Pavilion are very valuable, if you don't bring enough silver..........

She wanted to say, if you don't bring enough silver, don't go to offer ugliness, she won't help pay the bills as a wronged boss, but before she finished speaking, she saw that Xu Qingyan had already turned her feet and walked towards the store.

At this moment, two people rushed out of the store and almost collided with Xu Qingyan.

The four looked at each other, and in the next second, the two of them screamed at the same time.

"Ayan!"

"Xinrou!"

Seeing his old friend, the county lord of Xinrou was pleasantly surprised: "Ayan, when did you come?" Don't even let me know. “

"Just arrived, what about you, why did you have time to come over today?" Xu Qingyan asked with a smile.

Who knew that when the words fell, the bright eyes of the county lord of Xinrou turned red, and then he saw her pounce, with a hint of crying in her tone: "Ayan, I'm going to kiss!" ”

Miscellaneous...... What the?

Xu Qingyan didn't react for a while.

The county lord of Xinrou had already cried to himself: "Ayu just told me, the border pass was defeated, the emperor intended to sue for peace, and the ministers said that they would send the princess and their relatives.... I ........."

"Wait......." Xu Qingyan stopped what she hadn't finished saying and looked around: "It's not convenient to talk here, let's go in and sit down and talk slowly." With that, he pulled the county lord of Xinrou and entered the Half Lotus Pavilion again.

Miss Liu watched inexplicably from the sidelines, and said secretly: How could Long Gongzi's sister meet an acquaintance here? Didn't you say that your home is in Liuzhou?

She turned her head to look at Long Ling, wanting him to explain, but Long Ling had no time to control her, at this moment he was looking at Xu Qingwen face to face, looking at the big words "Men are forbidden to enter" on the sign at the door, thinking about whether to go in.

After a while, Xu Qingwen scratched his head and said, "Forget it, Brother Long, I don't think we'd better go in." ”

Although the Half Lotus Pavilion is its own industry, it can't break the rules, otherwise it won't smash its own signboard.

Although Long Ling has forgotten the past, he has been sitting in the same car with Xu Qingyan and them for ten days and half a month, and Xu Qingyan will catch him as long as he is free to talk to him about the past, hoping to stimulate him to think of something.

The hard work paid off, and it turned out that her thinking was right, and under her guidance day after day, Long Ling did remember many past events. Now, except for the days before the transformation of the ancestors and the process of the transformation of the ancestors, the rest of the things that should be remembered are basically remembered.

Hearing this, he nodded approvingly.

When Miss Liu saw him like this, she thought that they were indeed acquaintances, so she didn't ask any more questions at the moment, and went in with the two girls.

The housekeeper caught up and wanted to say a few words, but was stopped by Long Ling at the door, and then Xu Qingwen pointed to the wooden sign to show him.

The housekeeper looked in the direction of his finger, and after a moment, he paused for a moment, and then turned to the two guards behind him and said: "Miss is in, you two are guarding here, I will go back to the house first to report to the master, and when the young lady comes out, you must follow closely, but you can't lose it." ”

"Yes." The two guards surrendered.

At this time, the housekeeper turned to Long Ling and the others again: "I'm going back to the house to resume my life, the two sons ......"

"The housekeeper will go and get busy." Xu Qingwen didn't wait for him to finish, and said: "My family also has a house in the capital, and when my sister comes out, we will go back on our own, this way, trouble the housekeeper." “

The housekeeper was full of surprise when he heard this, didn't he say that his family background was average, why was he an old friend and a housekeeper in Beijing?

After a while, he looked at Xu Qingwen and said, "Dare to ask where your mansion is?" When I turn around, I have to pay a visit. “

He thought that if the young lady insisted on recruiting Long Gongzi as her son-in-law, this trip would have to leave sooner or later.
