Seeing Jian Feiyang's worried look, He Ningxin smiled: "Won't it?" It's better to solve it than to lack food, why are you more worried than the other day? ”

Jian Feiyang patted the pillow on his back, lay down on his back, tucked the quilt for He Ningxin, and said, "Of course I'm not worried about the lack of silver. I'm thinking, even if this disaster relief solves the urgent need in the southwest, what will happen to the Qiang people? Turning his head, he looked at He Ningxin with blazing eyes.

He Ningxin thought about it for a while, and then understood what Jian Feiyang meant.

In fact, this is also a question she can't help but think about these days.

The mountains inhabited by the Qiang people border several towns in the southwesternmost part of Daqi. When the two tribes did not go to war before, the Qiang people often took the mountain goods they collected from the mountains and went down the mountain to the towns of Daqi to hand over Chapter 127 The stones of other mountains (including those who were promoted to the leader of the alliance for the blue yarn +) in exchange for grain and salt. The merchants of Daqi regularly bought those rare mountain treasures and rare furs there, and at the same time sold grain and salt to the Qiang people.

When there is no war, the two tribes can also benefit each other.

However, in a famine year, the Qiang people could not hunt mountain goods, so they would go down the mountain to plunder. Moreover, the Qiang people are strong in combat, and one Qiang can fight against three Great Qi soldiers. However, the ten Qiang people united together, but they may not have been able to get ten Great Qi soldiers. This is where the gap between individual and collective power lies.

Now that Daqi's disaster relief to the southwest is about to begin, the Qiang people will not be anxious to watch from the side.

At that time, will it be at the same time to provide disaster relief to the Qiang people and raise tigers? Or is it a strong wall and a clear field, and only put grain on the people of Daqi?

In this way, it seems that no matter what, a big war is inevitable.

The difference is that the disaster relief for the Daqi people in the southwest... At the very least, it is guaranteed that there will be no internal strife, but that it will be able to unite externally.

Jian Feiyang fought against the Qiang people in the southwest, starting as a small soldier until he was promoted to a general, so he naturally knew the combat habits of the Qiang people well.

But if this is fought for generations, when will it be a head?

Of course, the Qiang people can't please him, Chapter 127 Under the Stone of Other Mountains (including those who are promoted to the leader of the alliance for the blue yarn of the blue threads) But our good sons and daughters of Daqi are buried in this kind of war... And countless.

He Ningxin heard Jian Feiyang's sigh and couldn't help but be in awe of him.

This kind of remark comes from the mouth of a general who has been invincible since his debut, and no one will think that this general is greedy for life and afraid of death, so he is unwilling to fight.

He Ningxin reached over, shook Jian Feiyang's hand, and encouraged him: "You are a general... What you say, the Holy One will definitely think about it. ”

Jian Feiyang also clenched He Ningxin's hand, smiled and asked her, "You don't think I'm greedy for life and afraid of death, right?" ”

He Ningxin shook her head and said anxiously, "Why do you think so?" Of course not! - Who dares to say that you are greedy for life and afraid of death, let me go and talk to him, keep it and make him cry bitterly... I feel ashamed of my ancestors and ancestors, and I will judge myself to thank the world! ”

Before the Great Qi Dynasty, there were also sharp-tongued strategists, who really said that the hostile side vomited blood, and did not think that the scholars were polite and polite, and they could not be military generals. In fact, the tongue of three inches is not rotten, and sometimes the enemy is more than thousands of troops.

After the two finished speaking, they both felt that their hearts were connected, like a big stone falling to the ground, and fatigue soon hit... Both of them are working hard these days... Soon fell asleep.

A few days later, the second prince also came back from the southeast inventory of the official warehouse.

Emperor Hongxuan read the booklet brought back by the second prince in the Yangxin Palace, like a basin of cold water poured on his heart.

The grain in the southeast official warehouse, although there is more on the books than in the south of the Yangtze River... However, the actual amount of grain in stock is even less than that in Jiangnan, and the arrears are also very serious.

The second prince gave birth to a calf, who was tougher than He Siping, and invited Shang Fang's sword to kill several officials who owed the most food.

Then they took men and raided their homes, but they did not take out much food, but only some gold, silver, jewelry, and furs and silks, which did not help.

Emperor Hongxuan listened to the second prince tell the whole story, and he understood that the second prince still had never done an errand, not as careful as the eldest prince, and was obviously fooled by some officials in the southeast.

The second prince also did a good job on this errand. He was not a fool, and after killing several officials with Shang Fang's sword, he found that he seemed to be being taken advantage of. He came to the southeast to check the grain, and the most important thing was to recover the grain, not to rectify the rule of officials, and he put the cart before the horse.

But at that time, the person had already been killed, the impact had already been caused, the time had been delayed, and some officials impeached him for "indiscriminately killing innocents", so he did not dare to vigorously pursue food. In the end, half of the arrears of grain were recovered, and half of them were recovered, and only the IOU was brought back to Emperor Hongxuan.

Emperor Hongxuan looked at the booklet and a pile of IOUs in his hand, pondered for a long time, and said to the second prince: "You go down." It's not your fault, it's all my fault. ”

The second prince didn't know what Emperor Hongxuan meant, so he knelt down and asked for his guilt, and said: "My father forgives my sins, and my sons and sons must make up for their mistakes and recover the stored grain for their father." ”

Emperor Hongxuan shook his head, looked at the second prince, and said lightly: "If you are not in his position, you don't have to blame yourself like this." This incident reminded me that I had to make a decision sooner. - Go down. ”

The second prince's heart sank, but he still kowtowed to Emperor Hongxuan respectfully before going down.

Back to the Jingde Hall where he lived, the second prince took a bath in incense, changed his clothes, and then took the gift brought back from the southeast, and went to the eldest prince first, congratulated the eldest princess on her dream of Xiong Youzhao, and also gave a gift.

The eldest prince hadn't seen the second prince for a few months, and seeing that he had lost a lot of weight at this time, he was busy asking people to set up meals, accompany him to eat and drink, and ask him how he was doing on this errand.

The second prince shook his head, raised his neck and drank wine, and said, "Big brother, don't ask, in short, I disappointed my father." ”

The eldest prince was also slightly disappointed, sighed, poured another glass of wine for the second prince, and persuaded him: "Maybe it's not as bad as you think." He reminded the second prince again: "When the prince of Lin'an Township was married, my father sent me to congratulate him." ”

Lin'an Xiangjun is Pei Qianqian's title.

The second prince felt a pain in his heart, drank some more wine, and muttered, "What's so good about my cousin?" is born stronger than others, and humility and him can't even talk together! ”

The eldest prince hurriedly stopped him and said, "Can you speak?" When you're drunk, go back to bed, and don't talk nonsense. - Qianqian is also our cousin, she has a good son-in-law, you should bless her. Say that some of these are not... It's contemptible. ”

The second prince squinted his eyes and asked the eldest prince: "When General Song marries in the future, if you can say this, I will obey you!" ”

The eldest prince was silent for a long time, and said, "I have long hoped that she would have a good son-in-law." ”

"I don't believe it." The second prince was drunk, and he was a little drunk, and he called the eldest prince to the board.

The eldest prince smiled, personally helped the second prince up, helped him to the side hall next to him to rest, and whispered: "If you really have her in your heart, for her good, you should look forward to her taking care of her for the rest of her life and doing everything well, instead of just wanting to treat her as your own forbidden body and not seeing others get involved............... as if persuading the second prince, and as if talking about your own heart.

The second prince's mouth became more and more entangled, and he muttered a few words... And he went to sleep.

By mid-April, Pei Qianqian began to officially prepare for the dowry.

At that time, the Great Qi Dynasty, whether it was a high gate or an ordinary person marrying a daughter, paid attention to rich dowry. Those families who love their daughters are eager to give everything they have to prepare a considerable dowry for their daughters.

Pei Qianqian's situation... It is different from the ordinary daughter's family, of course, it is more cautious.

Mrs. Xia, the old feudal monarch of the Pei family, has always regretted that her only biological daughter entered into a political marriage in order to return to the throne of the saint today, but in the end, she died shortly after the saint ascended the throne. If it weren't for the fact that the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion was also going downhill now, Old Madam Xia would be even more resentful, and now she finally has the opportunity to make up for it, for her daughter's biological daughter... Find a good match.

The only son of the Anjun Palace... Needless to say, the noble status is that the Anjun Wangfu has a good family education, and there is never a tradition of concubines. Over the years, there have been several times when the Anjun Mansion was given beauties, concubines and side concubines by the saints... But after those women entered the house, not only did they fail to give birth to a boy and a girl, but they all died of illness and illness quietly.

The high gate of the Great Qi Dynasty used to be quietly discussed, saying that the feng shui of the Anjun Palace, the main room, and the side room were not good. Look at the prosperity for so many years, there has been only one branch of the prosper.

Back then, Pei Shufen, the wife of the Marquis of Ningyuan, once conspired with the former queen to give their concubine Chu Zhongyu to the king of Anjun as a side concubine.

The first queen naturally concentrated on dealing with the new little masters who entered the palace.

Ning Yuanhou's wife, Pei Shufen, was unable to support herself, so she had to put this plan down.

Later, Chu Zhongyu got his daughter tuberculosis before he got married, and died of illness in Zhuangzi, the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion on the outskirts of the city.

Chu Zhongyu's death made the high-ranking ladies of the Great Qi Dynasty firm their views on the feng shui of the Anjun Palace. - You see, this hasn't entered the door yet, it's just an intention, and it won't end well. If you really entered the mansion and became a side concubine, I don't know how she died!

In this way, the position of the wife of the prince of Anjun Wangfu has of course become the most popular position in the capital.

When the prince of Anjun did not marry, the princess of Anjun couldn't wait to hide in Tibet to avoid the attacks of those ladies openly and secretly.

Later, after the prince of Anjun was married, those ladies heard that they were the daughters of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion who were expelled from the clan, and Pei Qianqian, the girl in the Pei family's big house, was naturally sour, and there were all kinds of gossip. But fortunately, the men in these people's families are not stupid, and they know that the relatives of the Anjun Wangfu are very properly married, and they all order their wives to come to the door with heavy gifts, and congratulate Pei Qianqian, the eldest girl of the Pei family, on becoming the future princess of the Anjun Wang.

Therefore, the Pei family has been in a crowded market for a while, and several carriages visit every day.

The Pei family's treasury was full of silk and satin, jewels and jade sent by various families, claiming to be to add makeup to Pei Qianqian.

The eldest lady of the Pei family, Shen, is very busy just registering these gifts every day.

Pei Qianqian didn't want to go, but this kind of thing was not something that she, an unmarried girl, should meddle in, especially when it was related to her own dowry, so she couldn't help but be very worried.

After the prince of Anjun got married, he often went to Pei's house. It's not a good grasp of proportion, or to help the elders pass the word, or on the fifteenth day of the new year, and to give gifts during the solar terms, they are all pulled out of the right way to enter the house. After coming to the house, sometimes I can see Pei Qianqian, and sometimes I can't. However, as long as you can catch a glimpse of Pei Qianqian's figure, when the prince of Anjun returns home, he will be in a much better mood.

The Shen family knew the intentions of the prince of Anjun, and also intended to let them have more contact with each other, increase mutual understanding, and get along well after marriage.

When the prince of Anjun came back later, the Shen family always said that he was busy... Let Pei Qianqian come out to help her entertain guests.

Pei Qianqian is now engaged to the prince of Anjun, and according to the customs of Daqi, it is possible for unmarried couples to communicate openly and brightly, so they have not shirked it. As long as the Shen family asked someone to call her out, she would pack up neatly and come out to talk to Wang Shizi of Anjun, or accompany him to the back garden for a cup of tea.

After the second prince returned to Beijing... The prince of Anjun went to the Pei family's mansion more and more diligently.

On this day, the wife of the household servant came over to give Pei Qianqian a makeup gift, and after Shen asked Pei Qianqian to come out to thank him, he heard from the outer door that the prince of Anjun came to give Pei Taifu a perch soup.

The old man of the Pei family, Pei Lixing, the first assistant of the Three Dynasties, and now Mrs. Pei, loves to eat sea bass... He also has a special preference for the ulva soup made with lettuce and sea bass. It's a pity that the Pei family didn't have a good cook for the perch.

After Pei Qianqian married the prince of Anjun, when he gossiped with the prince of Anjun, he occasionally talked about it once, saying that he wanted to learn to make perch soup by himself, so as to relieve his grandfather's hunger.

The prince of Anjun listened to it, and went back to coax the king of Anjun to say that his mother, the princess of Anjun, wanted to eat authentic sea bass... Let King Anjun inquire around anxiously, and finally find a cook who is good at making perch soup and come back.

The cook did it a few times, and Wang Shizi of Anjun felt that it was already time for the fire, so he brought a pot of freshly made perch soup, stewed it over low heat, and sent it all the way to Pei's house.

Mrs. Pei is old, and she hasn't entered the palace for a few days, and she claims to be sick at home.

I heard that my future grandson-in-law sent him a perch soup, and most of the "illness" was immediately cured... Immediately, a bowl was served... Sit under the south window and savor it.

Pei Qianqian came to greet him, and Mrs. Pei waved her hand and asked her to accompany the prince of Anjun to cook tea in the back garden.

There is a wooden rhino pavilion in the back garden of Pei's house, and there is a small pond next to the pavilion. It's late spring and early summer... The pavilion is full of flowers, very beautiful.

The flower garden of Anjun Wangfu is famous, and it is naturally much better than the Pei family.

However, in the eyes of the prince of Anjun, all the famous flowers in the flowergarden of Anjun Wangfu are not as beautiful as the scenery by the Muxi Pavilion.

Pei Qianqian personally carried the purple clay pot and poured a cup of tea for the prince of Anjun.

Seeing Pei Qianqian's eyebrows frowning slightly, even if he was joking, he seemed to have something on his mind, and he was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask her: "Can someone embarrass you?" "I'm worried that Pei Qianqian is always uncomfortable when he sends people under the fence.

Pei Qian raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked the prince of Anjun: "Why did the prince say this?" ”

Wang Shizi of Anjun glanced at Pei Qianqian deeply, lowered his head, picked up the teacup in front of him, blew it gently, and said: "You and I will get married in the future, and you should know that honesty is the most important way to get along between husband and wife." ”

Pei Qianqian tilted his head and thought about it, and said with a smile: "I don't know about this." "I don't seem to think that honesty is the way to get along with husband and wife.

Wang Shizi of Anjun put down the teacup, looked at Pei Qianqian, and said, "It's not too late to know now." - I will never hide anything from you, and I hope you will do the same to me. It was very straightforward, Pei Qianqian didn't expect that the prince of Anjun had always spoken little, but he could always talk about her heart, which was ten thousand times stronger than the second prince's full mouth of "only you in my heart".

"If you have any troubles, tell me. Although I am not talented, I can still solve problems for my family. Wang Shizi of Anjun encouraged Pei Qianqian again, hoping to help her.

Pei Qianqian was even more emotional, he hurriedly lowered his head to cook tea, quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and glanced around again, and saw that the maids who served him had dispersed in all directions, leaving only two personal maids, standing at the bottom of the steps of the pavilion, waiting with their hands tied, and then they were sent out. One went back to his yard to see the house, and the other went to the kitchenette to make a few small snacks.

When the prince of Anjun saw that Pei Qianqian had taken away all the people who were serving, he knew that she had something to say in her heart, so he looked up at her with a smile and didn't speak.

When Pei Qianqian saw the appearance of the prince of Anjun, he also felt a little closer in his heart, so he expressed the uneasiness in his heart in the past few days.

"A few days ago, I couldn't sleep at night, and when I woke up in the middle of the night, I heard my two maids on night gossiping, saying that although I was favored by my grandfather and grandmother, I was driven out by my father's clan and had nothing. Now if you want to get married, this dowry has to be paid by the Pei family. The Pei family is a scholarly family, not a wealthy family. Although my cousins are married and have children, their children are growing up. The more I use here, the less they do. My eldest uncle and aunt naturally won't say anything, but my cousin-in-law... Inevitably, there are no complaints. After Pei Qianqian said this, he glanced at the prince of Anjun.

Wang Shizi of Anjun smiled and asked, "What else?" "I know that Pei Qianqian must have his own ideas.

Pei Qianqian said boldly: "I just want to ask for the prince, Qianqian is already the king of Lin'an Township, has his own fiefdom, and also has his own Yulu, can you .................. in the dowry" The latter words did not say, and the prince of Anjun already knew it.

The wealth of the Anjun Palace, others don't know... The prince of Anjun knows it.

The Anjun Royal Mansion has never been greedy for his daughter-in-law's dowry.

It's just a dowry, which has nothing to do with the husband's family, but the woman's face.

If the dowry is less, even if the husband's family doesn't care, the people around him will look down on the bride.

People want faces, trees want bark... Isn't living just fighting for a breath?

Wang Shizi of Anjun didn't care how much dowry Pei Qianqian had, but he didn't want her to be looked down upon.

Seeing that the prince of Anjun didn't speak, Pei Qianqian was a little flustered, but when he thought of his brother, he had to say: "My mother also left a dowry at the beginning, but I want to leave it all to my brother." He's going to go out in separate ways... I need these more than I do. As he spoke, he got up and saluted the prince of Anjun, "Ask the prince to be fulfilled." ”

Wang Shizi of Anjun sighed softly and got up to help Pei Qianqian.

Holding Pei Qianqian's somewhat weak arm, Wang Shizi's hands of Anjun Wang Shizi were like fire, endured the strangeness, helped her back to her seat, and whispered in her ear: "You don't have to worry about these things... Leave it all to me. - Huh? ”

Fifteen-year-old boy... It is precisely when he has entered the period of voice change, and his voice is quite rough, and he does not match the same appearance as the prince of Anjun. However, to Pei Qianqian's ears, this sentence is like the sound of Buddhism... It makes people's hearts calm down for a moment.

It turned out that she could hand over these things that she couldn't even say to her brother to a person, a person who she would be with for the rest of her life.

Pei Qianqian's ears quietly reddened, and the redness became bigger and bigger, gradually spreading to his cheeks Anjun Wang Shizi couldn't help but stretch his hand, gently shook Pei Qianqian's hand, and quickly retracted and sat upright.

Pei Qianqian lowered his head, and after a long while, he raised his head and said to Wang Shizi of Anjun: "The tea is cold." As he spoke, he poured out the tea opposite King Anjun and refilled him with a new cup of tea.

"Shizi, Qianqian's heart has been said, and Shizi should not think about making up for Qianqian. - Humility doesn't care what others think of humility, only the son of the world doesn't care, and humility is at ease. Pei Qianqian poured tea for the prince of Anjun and said sincerely.

What Wang Shizi of Anjun said just now clearly meant that he wanted to help Qianqian with a dowry.

Pei Qianqian is not stupid, she said this, not to cry poor in front of the prince of Anjun, and let him help with the dowry. If her husband's family is asked to make up for her, she will not only be unable to raise her head in front of others, but also in her husband's family.

She put it bluntly today, she just wanted to get the understanding of the Anjun Palace, and then persuade her grandfather, grandmother, eldest uncle and eldest aunt not to make the Pei family unhappy for her dowry.

Pei Qianqian, like her mother Pei Shufan, is a very proud person and will never accept the mercy and charity of others.

Wang Shizi of Anjun also blushed a little, and said curtly: "............ No one else will know. ”

Pei Qianqian smiled playfully, stretched out his green onion-like fingers, pointed to the sky, and pointed to the ground, and said: "God knows, the earth knows, you know, I know, how can you deceive yourself?" - Shizi, please give Qianqian this face, don't let Qianqian not be able to raise his head when he sees Shizi in the future. ”

That's serious.

Wang Shizi of Anjun pursed his lips, and glanced at Pei Qianqian deeply, seeing that her face was clear, her eyes were clear, and there was no slightest pretension and twisting that wanted to be indulged, and the last wall in her heart collapsed. Pei Qianqian unconsciously walked into the deepest heart of the prince of Anjun, after the prince of Anjun left, Pei Qianqian went to the Shen family, sat quietly, and helped the Shen family with housework, while thinking that when the prince of Anjun told his father and mother, he could have a formal showdown with his grandfather, grandmother, uncle and aunt..................

When the news of Pei Qianqian's marriage came, the high gates of the capital all went to add makeup, and only the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion was still quiet. It's been silent for so long, even Qin Lisheng, the chief steward of the outer courtyard, can't stand it. !!
