275 drinking
After Mo Yang left, Xia Yuhua sat on the side and was slightly stunned, Xiangxue and Feng'er were watching their young lady on the side and didn't know what they were thinking, so they didn't dare to disturb for a while, and quietly accompanied them to the side, only occasionally exchanging glances, but no one said half a word out loud at this moment.
Miss's expression, even Xiangxue couldn't understand it, wasn't Miss very happy when her uncle came at first? Could it be that something unpleasant happened between the two after she and Feng'er withdrew? But this is not quite right, Xiangxue shook her head secretly, obviously when her aunt left, she saw that the two of them were very good, and they didn't look like they were unhappy. Besides, she really couldn't imagine how her uncle could have any trouble with the young lady.
Feng'er couldn't understand it even more, and said that her daughter's mind was the most difficult to guess, and it was probably most appropriate to use this sentence on Miss Hui. About two quarters of an hour later, just when Feng'er was about to be a little unbearable, Xia Yuhua finally came back to his senses.
"Feng'er, go and help me prepare something." Xia Yuhua stood up and quickly commanded Feng'er.
After listening to the young lady's instructions, Feng'er didn't understand what she was going to do, but she didn't ask much, and quickly retreated first.
"Xiangxue, let's go to the pharmacy, you give me a shot, I want to make something." Xia Yuhua then gave an order to Xiangxue, and then walked out directly, heading towards the pharmacy. Seeing this, Xiangxue immediately followed.
In the past few days, Xia Yuhua has not gone out much except to see Ruan and her newborn brother every day, and whenever she has free time, she soaks in the pharmacy and tinkers with what she wants to do. And although the Xia family has added a lot of joy inside and outside because of the newborn young master and the eldest lady who is about to get married, they are as low-key as ever, and they haven't made much movement.
The fifth day of the birth of the young master of the Xia family, that is, only ten days before Xia Yuhua's marriage. There was a big news from the court again - the war in the northwest was rekindled, and the king of the southwest gathered 200,000 troops to suppress the border. Intended to invade the south. The war in the northwest is urgent, and the emperor will estimate that he has a headache.
A few years ago, in order to divide the forces of Xia Dongqing, the emperor tried to reduce the establishment of the Northwest Army, although nominally this will still maintain the 200,000 army, but in fact, the real number of the army is far less than 200,000, plus the border generals report, because of the lack of the former general Wang's leadership. Among the soldiers, there is a lack of strength, and the combat effectiveness is far less than before. After several battles these days, the Northwest Army is obviously a little unable to do so, and it has lost every battle.
Although most of the generals in the northwest were once Xia Dongqing's old subordinates, the main leader of Ru Ling was the henchmen specially sent by the emperor. Loyal but without any real command skills, and at the moment the DPRK and China will not be able to find a suitable person to save the emergency, the northwest matter is instantly like being put in the most dangerous situation.
The emperor also knew that the king of the southwest was a person who could fight well, if it wasn't for Xia Dongqing's presence back then, they might not have been able to win the war, not to mention that now the king of the southwest has gathered 200,000 troops and is fully armed, and his ambition can be seen by passers-by. The gateway to the northwest and the country, once there is any mistake, then the entire country will be in danger.
Above the court. Someone proposed to reactivate the former Great General King, because everyone knew that only Xia Dongqing was the nemesis of the Southwest King, and this time Xishu ignored the agreement and repented of attacking because he saw that the Great General King no longer existed, so he had such great courage. But at the same time, there are also many people who oppose the re-use of the summer and winter celebrations. I don't believe that there will be no one in the big country who can take its place.
The emperor is naturally reluctant to restart Xia Dongqing in his heart, after all, it was not easy to take away his military power, if it is restarted, it will be difficult to find a chance to control it in the future, and his imperial face can be regarded as lost home. But if he doesn't use it, will he really be able to find the person who can celebrate Xia and Dongqing on behalf of the Northwest Army in a short period of time, unite the hearts of the Northwest Army, and turn the tide? After all, fighting is nothing else, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and he doesn't have much time, once the northwest is breached, then the entire country will be like a bamboo, and everything will be in danger.
Just when the emperor was worried and hesitating, the Xia family was unusually calm, and Xia Dongqing still lived his own small life as if he didn't know anything. I have time to tease the newborn child, and then pay attention to the happy event of my daughter's marriage in a few days, and let those various rumors and rumors float there for a while.
He knows this emperor too well, and when there are a few more letters from the Northwest Emergency in a few days, everything will naturally fall into place. By that time, Yu'er's big happy event had been completed, and the youngest son was also full moon, so he could rest assured that he would be able to do the big things next to him.
And in the past few days, I heard that there may be a change, and the Xia family has also become lively, many people began to come to the door to come and pull the relationship in advance, Xia Dongqing is good, simply close the door to thank the guests, no one is seen, it just so happens that Yu'er is going to get married in a few days, and it is inconvenient to disturb but it is also a more appropriate reason.
And although Xia Yuhua rarely goes out these days, she has also heard about these things, calculating the time, the king of the southwest is really very punctual, and this time she gave up a lot of money, and she really combined an army of 200,000 words to accompany her to play such a play. If it weren't for Uncle Dongfang's secret letter telling her that everything was fine, she might have really mistaken the king of the southwest for taking the opportunity to fake it.
She is also very clear about the disputes in the court, to put it bluntly, they are all mutual trade-offs and contests between the interests of all parties, and most of those who propose to reactivate their father secretly support Zheng Moran, and even if the emperor knows that the northwest is in an emergency and knows that he is in crisis, he cannot make up his mind to restart his father so quickly. After all, the reactivation of his father's words not only represents the re-entry of military power into the hands of others, but also represents the overturning of all his previous efforts.
For an arrogant emperor, such a defeat almost represents a kind of self-denial, and until the last moment, until he is sure that there is no way out, how can he make such a determination?
However, Xia Yuhua is not in a hurry at all, the emperor compromises, it will be a matter of time, and he will definitely beg his father to go out of the mountain at the end of next month at the latest. So like her father, she didn't care too much about these things, and waited peacefully to be her bride first.
"Miss, someone is looking for you outside." Feng'er entered the courtyard and saw that her young lady was watering the flowers and trees on the side, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It's the little marquis!" ”
Hearing the three words of the little marquis, the small wooden spoon in Xia Yuhua's hand suddenly stopped. Qiren is back? She quickly reacted and asked Feng'er, "Where is he?" ”
The last time Mo Yang left, he told her that Qiren wrote a letter to Mo Yang, saying that he would be able to return to Beijing in a few days. Calculating the time, Li Qiren has been away from the capital for almost a year and a half, and now he is finally back. In the past year or so, Mo Yang has sent several letters, but he has never received a reply from Qiren, and Xia Yuhua has not received a letter from Li Qiren.
She knew that there must be some things in her heart that had not been completely put down, but this time the letter she took the initiative to send to Mo Yang mentioned that she could attend their wedding banquet by the way when she came back. This reassured them a little. Although Qiren only said in the letter that it was by the way, Xia Yuhua knew that he came back just in time for her and Mo Yang's wedding, at least he said that he still regarded them as friends in his heart.
"The little marquis is waiting for the young lady outside the gate, saying that he will not come in, if the young lady will be free, if he is willing, he wants to invite the young lady to have a drink outside." Feng'er whispered to Xia Yuhua, as if she was afraid of being heard by outsiders. After all, Miss is about to get married, and the little marquis doesn't seem to be shy about it at all, saying that inviting Miss to drink or something is very unruly in her opinion.
But Feng'er still told the truth, after all, she also knew that the young lady and the little marquis were very good friends, different from ordinary people.
Hearing Feng'er's words, Xia Yuhua didn't think much about it, she put down the things in her hand and ordered Feng'er: "I know, you go out first and say goodbye, let him wait a while, and I'll go out immediately." ”
When Feng'er heard this, she was not surprised by Miss's answer, and after nodding her head, she retreated, while Xiangxue on the side quickly and thoughtfully cleaned her hands.
"Miss, do you want the slave to accompany you in and change your clothes?" After washing her hands, Xiangxue asked slightly.
"No, that's it." Xia Yuhua straightened his clothes with his own hands, and turned to Xiangxue and said, "You go and scoop the things I made and put them away the day before yesterday, and I'll wait for you here." ”
"Yes!" When Xiangxue heard this, she didn't say anything, and quickly went to the pharmacy on the side according to the young lady's instructions.
After a while, Xiangxue took a small baggage, and she didn't know what it contained: "Miss, the things have been taken." ”
"Scoop up, come with me." Nodding towards Xiangxue, Xia Yuhua didn't say anything more, turned around and walked straight out of the courtyard.
Drink? Well, she naturally remembered that she seemed to owe Li Qiren a drink!
Walking outside the door, Xia Yuhua saw Li Qiren at a glance, who he hadn't seen for a long time. He looked much darker and stronger than before, and the first impression was that he was much more mature than before. Maybe going out of Beijing to experience training is really not a bad thing for him, at least in Xia Yuhua's opinion, Qiren, who is flying alone at this time, looks like everything is fine.
"Yuhua, I'm back!" After seeing Xia Yuhua, Li Qiren's eyes lit up, a bright smile flashed on his face, without the slightest awkwardness, and he said naturally: "You look pretty good, I haven't seen you for more than a year, but you are getting more and more beautiful."
