Chapter 572, Completed
On the day of the new year, when Yan Yan was making New Year's gifts to be sent to the palace and the Meng family of the Yun family, Yan Zhang and the three also sent a lot of things to Yan Yan, Yan Yan didn't want it, but they gave Yan Yan a letter, saying that these things were sent by Yan Tong, and they specially named them to her.
Yan Yan took the letter, only to know that Yan Tong was also pregnant for more than half a year, but the letter did not mention the way they got along with each other, but said a lot about the climate and eating habits over there, but at most it was some interesting things and details before the three sisters got married, and the letter also mentioned Lu You, saying that Lu You went to check the defense of the famous city when he passed by the famous city, Wang Zheng recognized Lu You, but at that time he was accompanied by the military department, Wang Zheng did not expect that Lu You would be the protagonist, and thought that he was accompanied by the military department.
It wasn't until later that Jinzhou was saved, and Zhending was withdrawn, and now it is confronted with Baozhou again, Lu You's fame spread, and Yan Tong knew that Lu You actually knew about war, so at the end of the letter, she congratulated Yan Yan on finding a piece of jade, and it was made into a tool with a little carving.
Yan Yan saw that the letter did not mention the break between her and Yan Lu's family, nor did she intercede for Ma and Yan Yu, Yan Yan guessed that she might not know the truth.
But then I think about it, even if Ma doesn't say it, Yan Yu doesn't say it, but the Wang family will definitely say it, Wang Zheng knows, can Yan Tong not know?
I'm afraid this is also the reason why Yan Tong didn't mention the way they get along as husband and wife, and between the lines, most of them are reminiscences of the past and whispers of reality, so Yan Yan speculated that this family business may not be a good match.
"Did your mother say that your third sister is okay over there? Is your third brother-in-law good to her? Yan Yan asked Yan Zhang.
Yan Zhang shook his head, but Yan Bin heard this and asked, "Eldest sister, isn't the third brother-in-law very bad?" ”
"Second brother, the eldest sister and the third brother-in-law don't know each other, how can she know if the third brother-in-law is bad or not?" Yan Zhang glared at Yan Bin.
He had already inquired from the mouths of the people in Yan's mansion that the eldest sister was troubled by Zhou Lu's rumors a few days ago, and it was because of this that Mrs. Lu took advantage of the topic to play and wanted to separate the relationship between Yan Yan and the emperor, but she dropped a stone on her own foot, and was admonished by the emperor and grounded for three months.
And this time Yan Yan and Mrs. Lu's fighting method is also due to Mrs. Lu's discord, although Yan Yan won the battle in the end, Yan Zhang knew that Yan Yan must have paid a lot of price, not to mention anything else, the food and clothing of the hundreds of beggars is not a trivial matter.
For this reason, Yan Zhangcai was particularly sensitive to Yan Bin's words, he was afraid that if Yan Bin and Yan Shan were not sensible, some other rumors would come out and hurt the eldest sister.
"By the way, eldest sister, this is the pocket money that the three of us have saved this year, and most of it is the dividends that the eldest sister gave us." After Yan Zhang finished speaking, he thought of something, and took out a bunch of money tickets from his sleeve pocket.
"What? Don't want the eldest sister's money anymore? Yan Yan didn't reach out to pick it up.
"No, eldest sister, didn't you take in a lot of beggars? The eldest brother said that the food and clothing of these people is not a small amount of money, we can't help the eldest sister, it's okay to help a little, the eldest sister will accept it, this is also a little bit of our three hearts, and when the eldest sister has a harvest next year, we won't give the eldest sister money. Yan Shan explained.
"So that's the case, okay, the eldest sister accepted your heart, and the eldest sister used the money and tickets you gave to buy some cloth, and said that you gave them new clothes for the New Year." Yan Yan thought about it for a while and took the money tickets.
She doesn't lack this, but she doesn't want to live up to the other party's heart, since she knew the truth about Yan Yu's marriage to Lu Ming, Yan Zhang's three have always had a guilty mentality, and they have come to Mingyuan these days, either to talk to her or to coax Lu Jin to play, and every time she comes, she will bring Lu Jin one or two outside gadgets.
Yan Yan knew that they were making up for her.
Sure enough, seeing that Yan Yan accepted these money tickets, Yan Zhang's eyes suddenly brightened, and Yan Bin pounced directly on Yan Yan, and Yan Shan smiled a little shyly.
After the New Year, what made Yan Yan uncomfortable was that many officials and dependents who didn't move around with her much in the past sent people to send her posts, either inviting her to eat New Year's wine or inviting her to various gatherings, which was a phenomenon that had never been seen before.
But after thinking about it for a while, Yan Yan also guessed the reason, most of it was that the Zhu family was admonished and grounded by the emperor, and the emperor said a lot of Yan Yan's advantages in the court before, so most of these female dependents wanted to befriend her, after all, Yan Yan's name is much louder than the Zhu family, and the weight in the emperor's heart is much heavier.
Moreover, Yan Yan also has the identity of a county lord, and his grade is not low, and it is not an insult to their identity.
But Yan Yan was not interested in such a party, so she refused all on the grounds that the children were young and had no one to take care of them.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Yan Yan called the grandmother's family, Qingyu, and Qingyun to Mingyuan to join in the fun, and after dinner, Zhou Haisheng took a few small houses to light fireworks in the courtyard, and Yan Yan held Lu Ji and a group of maids to watch under the corridor.
After midnight, Yan Yan still had no sleep, and wrote a letter to Lu You, she missed him.
What Yan Yan didn't know was that at this moment, when Lu You, who was standing outside Baozhou City, saw the Kong Ming lantern rising in the city, he was also thinking about Yan Yan.
Baozhou fought for more than a month, he did not take it, mainly because the heavy snow closed the road, the ground was frozen, and there was no way to dig trenches, so he could only use gunpowder or rockets to harass the Khitan soldiers who went out of the city to inspect the city, and these Khitan soldiers did not go out of the city much after being fooled a few times.
No, in the end, Lu You thought of a way, planning to choose Chinese New Year's Eve night to sneak attack Baozhou, first, the Khitan knew that the Han people attached more importance to this festival, and generally did not choose this natural thing; The second is that his soldiers have just eaten a hot mutton rice, and they are full of energy one by one, so Lu You decided to attack.
Just a few days ago, Chen Cha sent someone to send him a few drawings of paper kites, and he personally made this kind of paper kite that can take people to fly with several folk masters, but there is one point, this kind of paper kite has high requirements for the weather, the wind must reach a certain level, and there is one point, to run or fly for a period of time.
Coincidentally, the sky was beautiful that night, the north wind was howling, mixed with heavy snow, but it was Lu You.
No, seeing more than a dozen soldiers flying onto the city wall, Lu You didn't know if they could land safely on the city wall or in the city, but fortunately, he told them in advance that after landing, a Kong Ming lantern would be placed first, which could be regarded as a signal to this side, and Lu You would arrange a follow-up attack.
Therefore, seeing the Kong Ming lantern rising in the city, Lu Ming's first thought was that Baozhou was expected to be won, and he could go back to accompany his wife as soon as possible.
However, Lu You quickly abandoned this idea and paid attention to the battle in front of him wholeheartedly.
