Chapter 96: Snowy Night

"Young Master, ......"

He Youan helped Uncle Zhao, and the two walked step by step into the inner courtyard.

"The young master is back today, I'll let the kitchen make you a mutton pot, okay?"

"No, Uncle Zhao, I'll go to the palace later, and I won't eat dinner at home."

"The young master is in such a hurry, he doesn't even have the time to eat a meal at home?"

"I brought this little eunuch out, and I have to bring him back before the palace gives the key." He Youan pointed to the small forest behind him and said.

"Oooh...... Got it. What else does the young master command? ”

The two originally walked in and talked at the same time, but at this time, He Youan suddenly stopped, put his hands on Uncle Zhao's shoulders and said: "Uncle Zhao, you take good care of yourself at home, You'an has been away from home for more than half a year on this southern expedition, Uncle Zhao must take care of himself." ”

Follow the young master all the way, in order to keep up with the young master's footsteps, Uncle Zhao is like a trot, suddenly the young master stopped and said something to himself, Uncle Zhao gasped, and said with tears: "Young master, let the slave go with you, there is a good response on the road." ”

"Uncle Zhao, You'an is going to fight, not wandering around, taking you with you!" He Youan didn't hide anything about this old housekeeper who took care of himself and grew up, and he expressed his heart directly.

"The minion is not at ease!" Uncle Zhao's tears were raging.

"What's not to worry about, loyalty to the country is the family motto of the He family, Uncle Zhao should be happy for me, a few days ago, the emperor personally named me the generalissimo of the expedition to the south, you don't know, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are looking at me, how majestic!"

He Youan comforted Uncle Zhao, said insincere and decent words, and regarded himself as the chief horn child under Uncle Zhao's knees in the past.

"The slave is not worried about the young master!"

"Uncle Zhao, why haven't you told your mother-in-law and mother in the past few years! You asked a few people to clean up all the Tang poems and Song lyrics in the study, and I will take them away. ”

"Hey, got it, young master." Uncle Zhao touched a handful of tears, and suddenly remembered something and said: "The old Wang in the treasury said that the young master took away the family heirloom in the family?" ”

Uncle Zhao was talking about the half of the tiger talisman that He You'an sent.

"Well, yes."

"The young master moves around a lot, so it's safer to put it at home."

"Uncle Zhao, you are really wordy, and the tiger talisman is locked in the treasury at home, and I have my use for taking it out?"

"What is the young master doing with that?"

"Uncle Zhao, you are really verbose, I am not a child anymore, are you still not at ease?" He Youan didn't think Uncle Zhao was in charge of himself, but he was embarrassed to tell the use of the tiger talisman.

However, Uncle Zhao was a little gloomy, after all, the master is the master, and he can't care about everything as a slave. Locked his lips dumbly and didn't gnaw.

He Youan saw that Uncle Zhao didn't speak, knowing that he was reckless just now and said something that shouldn't have been said. pulled Uncle Zhao into the main hall and whispered, "Uncle Zhao, I took the tiger talisman as a dowry!" ”

As soon as Uncle Zhao heard the word 'dowry', a smile immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he took He Youan's hand and said, "The young master has grown up!" There's a favorite lady! How can there be a tiger charm as a dowry, it's really nonsense! Which young lady did the young master say? The slave hurried to prepare the dowry in the next few days and exchange our family's tiger talisman back. ”

"This can't be done, it's all told to others, and after I win the battle, eight sedan chairs will carry their young lady into our He house with a tiger talisman."

"Which lady is it?"

"I can't say it now, I'll tell you when I come back from the war."

"Good, good...... The young master doesn't say it, and the slave doesn't ask" The smile on the corner of Uncle Zhao's mouth flew all over his face.

"Uncle Zhao, this matter can't be leaked. You must be sure, I didn't even say it? ”

"Why?"

"Everyone has a love for beauty, and when I put her in a sedan chair, it's too late for them to drink happy wine!"

"Good, good...... The young master has grown up...... The slave took this happy event to heart and secretly enjoyed himself! ”

By the time He Youan came to Rongshou Palace again, it was already after dinner. The goose feathers and heavy snow pressed on the ground layer by layer, He Youan walked on the road when he came, and he was very relieved in his heart, Ruixue Zhaofeng year, this year's heavy snow is getting bigger and bigger, which is a good sign. As long as you can survive the green and yellow harvests, the next summer will definitely be a bumper year.

Before he reached Rongshou Palace, a little eunuch hurriedly came over and said, "General, Shaozuofu just sent an official document, please take a look at it." ”

He You'an stood in the snow and unfolded it to see that the five thousand pairs of armor had been ordered, and the Shaozuo Mansion was now in a tight warehouse, and wanted to transfer it to the Quartermaster Department of the Great Army in advance, asking He You'an to open a letter for entering and leaving the barracks. The letter of passage has been prepared and attached to the back of the official document.

He Youan took out the private seal he carried with him and sighed. The little eunuch had already bowed his back as a bookcase. He You'an borrowed a little ink and pressed a small seal on the letter.

"Well done your job! The people of Shaozuofu must still be waiting at the gate of the palace, you run again and send it out. There must be no mistakes. ”

"Thank you, General, the minion will go."

After the little eunuch finished speaking, a cloud of smoke disappeared into the black snow curtain.

He Youan walked to the front of Rongshou Palace, and the palace gate was already closed. Knowing that he couldn't knock on the door, he walked up the steps and put his hand on the knocker. Shaking the cold copper ring, he was sure that the door of Rongshou Palace had been locked.

Reluctantly went down the steps, and looked at the palace gate for a long time, looking forward to opening the door and looking inside if someone came out. After waiting for a long time, the gate was locked without moving.

He Youan walked back with unwilling steps, and just arrived at Mianshou Bridge, Prince Rong followed up and said, "Why haven't you left yet?" ”

"I ...... I'll come to the palace to get a few maps of the two rivers in Fujian and Zhejiang. ”

"Did you get it?"

"No, it's not ...... yet"

"This king remembers that there should be a few in Wenyuan Pavilion, it's too late today, and this king will let them send it to you!" What are you doing here? It won't be waiting for the king! ”

"Oh...... Oh...... Yes, I heard that the prince is also in the palace at this time, let's go back together! ”

"This king knows that you, a good brother, are the most righteous! Just now, the Queen Mother pulled the king and chattered for a long time, the king was about to suffocate to death, let's go quickly, in case the Queen Mother stopped for a while, she couldn't go back tonight. ”

"The Queen Mother is still talking about the assassination of the Northern Tour?"

"Not really! If it weren't for this incident, the generalissimo of the southern expedition would be the king. ”

"The Queen Mother is still not at ease?"

"The Queen Mother has always been suspicious all these years, perhaps because of her age."

"Lord Wang, in this matter, You'an has always had a shadow in his heart, why can the rogues recognize the prince at a glance?"

"This king also wonders, is it because he didn't pay attention along the way, so that people are targeting?"

"No, the bandits robbed the road just to grab money, and that group of bandits that day wanted to kill people as soon as they came up, isn't this the behavior of bandits? We are in the capital, and we have not offended the bandits of Jianzhou! ”

"The bandits claimed to be the Jianzhou Tigers, and Daping said that it was the accent of the Yanzikou area."

"Daping's hometown is in the area of Yanzikou...... It is not unreasonable for the Queen Mother to be worried, Lord Wang, we still have to be careful. ”

"What do you think the Queen Mother is still nagging with this king today?"

"Then needless to say, it must be the young lady of the Hou family of Wu'an?" He Youan didn't have to think about it to know that the Queen Mother was worried about Prince Rong's marriage.

"The ears of this king are grinding out of cocoons, I have served the old lady, I can really toss, I will nag when I see this king when I go back, and I am so scared that this king can hide now in the morning and dusk, I really envy you to go to the south, this king is really trapped in this palace this time."

"Lord Wang, you should be considerate and considerate of the Queen Mother, there has just been an assassination, does the Queen Mother dare to let you out? If you don't hold it in the palm of your hand and hold it in your mouth every day, it's weird. Lord, you are content! ”

"The Queen Mother also talked about you and asked you what you have been busy with lately? If you are free, you will go and sit down with her. ”

"The Queen Mother?" The Queen Mother has been kind to herself since she was a child, and if she asks the Queen Mother for marriage in the future, it will definitely be less risky than asking the Emperor. Thinking of this, He Youan was overjoyed, and even his steps were much lighter.

"Lord Wang, there is a century-old braised shop in Houhai, only for night business, let's go eat a bowl together, how about drinking a few cups of burning knives?"

"Well, such a heavy snow, without drinking a few glasses of spicy wine, disappoints the good intentions of God. Walk! ”
