As the big palace maid by Pillow Chun's side, Yulan has not served in front of Mu Beiyi since she was disfigured, but she is inseparable from Pillow Spring on weekdays.

In the cuffs of Magnolia, she carries four purses on weekdays. There are about twenty or thirty treasures in the red plum blossom pattern purse, and they are rewarded to the little eunuch Gong'e who runs errands on weekdays. The better one is the cyan orchid purse, which contains some fragments of silver, which is probably given to the people who work in Yongning Palace, so as to teach them to remember the good of the lord's mother. Even better, it is an ink-colored bamboo purse, which contains about two taels of silver ingots, which is to be rewarded to those who use it or those who have meritorious service. The best thing is this colorful chrysanthemum purse, which has ten taels in it, which is also a huge amount of money.

This colorful chrysanthemum-patterned purse is to be given to the people of the Qianxi Palace, the people of the Tai Hospital, or the people in charge of the Imperial Court, and the magnolia will not usually touch it.

Fuquan took it, smiled happily, and quickly kowtowed.

"Then ......" Pillow Chunsheng was afraid that his nails would hurt the little mastiff, so he half-hugged and asked, "What does this little guy eat and use on weekdays, but what is the particular?" ”

Fuquan rolled his eyes: "This is very delicate, because it is not our dog breed in the Central Plains, so it is not easy to raise." ”

"Reward." Pillow Chun teased the dog.

Magnolia clung to the root of her teeth, her face did not leak, and her heart hurt terribly, so she only respectfully took out a purse with a colorful chrysanthemum pattern and rewarded it to Fuquan.

Pillow Chun said: "Aunt Su Bai went to bring Xiaodouzi, and she is familiar with Fuquan Gonggong." Xiaodouzi is young, so she has a good companion to do this. Then he said to Fuquan, "How to raise and how to protect, or how to pay attention to how to make money, you tell the little beans around the palace, in the future, every month on the fifteenth day of the new month, the palace will send the little beans to ask you for advice, and you have to take a look at it." ”

Fuquan was already overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him again and again.

When the attendants of the treasure beast room came out of the Yongning Palace, Zhu Chun happily took the little dog in his arms and rubbed it, and said strangely: "This is a little baby." ”

Su Bai stepped forward and said: "Niangniang is both fond of it and raised, but it is just a puppy and a cat, and I often hear the old grandmothers say that they should hug less." If you hold too much on weekdays, the bones of cats and dogs will be soft, and they will not be majestic. ”

Pillow Chun was reluctant to listen to it, hugged the little mastiff and coaxed himself a few times, before he was willing to take it to Su Bai and put it in the cage. Thinking about it again, he said distressedly: "The eightfold black dragon in the front yard has been transplanted, and you can open up a place under it for this little guy to play with." In the end, the mastiff is not a mouse, and it can't be held up every day. ”

Su Bai responded, so he went out to arrange the instructions.

Pillow Chun lay on the chaise longue and hummed half a song, and then suddenly got up: "Slow." ”

"What else does the mother command?" Su Bai probed in and asked.

"Name ......" Pillow Chun held the shoulder of the chaise longue with one hand, "You can't always shout about small things, you have to have a name." ”

"Little things?" Su Bai thought for a while, "What is the name of the little mastiff, what name does the mother want?" ”

Pillow Spring fell into hard thought again. She moved on the chaise longue, feeling that her buttocks deserved to hurt strangely. He rolled up his sleeves and pulled his head from under the cushion and pulled out a copy of "Three Kingdoms".

"It's called Fengxian." Pillow Chun laughed and said to Su Bai, "Feng Xian is good, it is better to grow taller and grow up and grow a majestic hero." ”

The days when Feng Xian'er ate and drank in the Jianghe Hall of Yongning Palace started from this day.

Pillow Spring was intoxicated with teasing dogs, but Liu Anran's method of opening up sources and reducing expenditure was in full swing.

Speaking of Liu Anran's ability to feed the main, he learned it from Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang is the descendant of the Taiyuan Wang family in the Lejing family, and she is also a clan woman who married into the Liu family. If you want to say where Mrs. Wang is powerful, it is that Liu Dadu protects such a wealthy family, and there are five or six concubines, but there are no concubines. However, Mrs. Wang is gentle, virtuous and generous, but the concubines' stomachs are not angry. This is the answer to the blessing of the kind-hearted people.

Mrs. Wang's fine math technique, and so did Liu Anran. But whoever takes the account book of the dining room, it is completely clear what is wrong or what is lacking in oil. First, a group of consul palace people were replaced, and then a group of loyal and sensible people were promoted. In this way, the treasures are cut to slightly increase the diet of the palace people, so that everyone can eat and drink meat every day, and the fruit can taste fresh. Within a few days, whoever was the descendant of the Six Palaces did not say a word, "Xi Zhaoyi is generous and beautiful, and he is a great and good person."

The amount of delicacies has been reduced, but the monthly expenditure has not increased but decreased, saving nearly 1,000 taels in half a month. There were people like the lord of Fufeng, who had a slight complaint because they didn't need the full amount of blood bird's nest or monkey head in the past. But now that there are flowers and plants to enjoy or birds and birds to tease with cats and beasts, there is no heart to pursue these.

These are all Liu Anran's works.

However, in late spring in April, the weather was short and dry for a few days, and there was chaos in the south. Nearly 10,000 people gathered under the jurisdiction of the Protectorate of Annam, and at night they cut the necks of more than 2,000 soldiers with sickles, opened the barn and looted it. Liu Du protected the urgency, suppressed the riots on one wall, refilled the granary on the other, and asked the court for help because he had no time to do so.

"10,000 people?" Pillow Chun sat under the eightfold black dragon, his fingers twisting Feng Xian'er's soft and hot ears, "How can there be such a big riot?" ”

Xiao Xizi leaned over, looked at the upper of the shoe with her eyes, and replied in a low voice: "It's just because of natural disasters, not **." The minions did not hear the truth, but they only knew that it was due to the drought. There are only about 10,000 soldiers under the Protectorate of Annam, so I ask Your Majesty to send help. ”

"Brother......" Zhuchun drooped his eyelids, "Is there anything going on in Yanmen?" ”

"Nothing. If there is not much snow in the north, most of them will not be in trouble, and the little lord can rest assured. It's just ......" Xiao Xizi thought for a while, and still said, "In the south, Your Majesty is not ready to move the government troops, so he wants to send the five-way military general Wang Hou to lead the troops to the southern Xinjiang for reinforcements." ”

"Which five roads?" Pillow Chun propped up, with a slight force in his hand, pinched Feng Xian and snorted, and pushed Pillow Chun's hand away with his little paws.

"The three Shu kings, Yichuan marquis, and Yilong marquis in the south were mobilized nearby, and the Marquis of Guangping and your maternal ancestor Yangling Marquis were transferred remotely."

This kind of riot is the most detrimental to the vitality, and the sharpness of the King of Shu can be regarded as deliberately done by Mu Beiyi. Pillow Chun's maternal grandfather, the Marquis of Yangling, was a fierce general with great military achievements, and it is understandable that he was remotely transferred to quell the rebellion. The Meng family of the Marquis of Guangping...... Pillow Chun asked: "Our Majesty thinks too much, how can he deliberately transfer the military marquis of Beijing to southern Xinjiang to rehabilitate...... This does not make sense. Do you know how many troops the Marquis of Guangping led the army? ”

"The Marquis of Guangping is hereditary, and the family history is the most of the five princes, and there are already 24,000 people. It is said that this time, only 4,000 elite soldiers were brought south, and five princes gathered, and it was easy to sweep away the rebellion. Your Majesty's remote transfer to the Marquis of Guangping, probably to increase the number of reinforcements? Xiao Xizi was a little surprised, "The slave doesn't understand this, what is the reason why the little master asks this?" ”

Although the rebellion of the cave people in the south was huge, how could the scythe-wielding warriors compete with the well-trained government soldiers? It was only a matter of time before the rebellion was quelled. Liu Dadu Protector has outstanding political achievements, and the garrison that manages the Annam Metropolitan Protectorate is also skilled, even if he refills the granary while suppressing the riot, he will not be flawless. Liu Daduhu asked the imperial court for help, not to save the strength of the capital and reduce his own losses.

Pillow Chun suddenly remembered that when he was talking about the consumption of the dining room that day, Mu Beiyi said that he wanted to raise new soldiers and horses.

So today's Wulu princes are just pawns selected by Mu Beiyi to bear the losses of the rebellion?

Or is this a decision made by Liu Daduhu and Mu Beiyi after discussion?

If so...... Liu Anran's journey in the harem all these years, is it a bargaining chip that Mu Beiyi promised to give Liu Dadu to protect a long time ago?

Where is the new soldier and horse that Mu Beiyi said he wanted to raise before?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt a little messy, and he couldn't figure it out for a while. She only felt that this matter was strange, and she was worried that her grandfather would be in trouble, so she called Yulan over: "You go to Hanfang Hall to ask Xi Zhaoyi...... Let's just say that the Annan Protectorate was in turmoil this time, and I was very concerned about her and asked her if she had time to talk about it. ”

Yulan went, and came back in less than an hour, but replied: "Xi Zhaoyi said that she didn't know much about the previous dynasty. Because he was busy taking care of the harem, he didn't come. ”

Pillow Chun sat down by the small case in disappointment, and even sniffed out the treacherous meaning of this matter.

It wasn't until the weather was hot and the lotus in Yaoting Lake bloomed with crooked horns that he received a letter from his mother Tu.

Things are slightly similar to what Pillow Spring guessed, but they are completely different.

The rebellion of the cave people under the Protectorate of Annam has subsided, and Zhuchun's maternal grandfather, the Marquis of Yangling, has won the smallest meritorious service, and the loss is no more than 100 people.

Pillow Spring breathed a long sigh of relief, in the end, the ginger is still old and spicy. My grandfather has been a general for decades, so how can he not understand these truths.

Turning the page again, I saw that Mu Yongyue, the king of Shu, had broken more than 2,000 people and received two arrows. Although he didn't hurt his heart, he was seriously injured and bedridden, and he was afraid that he would not be able to rest for a few months.

It is also said that the prince of Guangping Hou and the father and son of the old Guangping Hou went into battle, and the two of them went into the mountain on a rainy day to twist and rebel, encountered a flash flood, and died under the cliff.

Mu Beiyi lost two loyal and virtuous ministers, was sad, and closed the door in Qianxi Palace for three days. The Marquis of Guangping and the son of the world both died, and the second son of the second son, Meng Ergong, took the title, and his wife Taohua was sealed. Because the second son of Meng had a leg disease and could no longer go to the battlefield, his wife Peach Blossom was born in the common people and married in the name of a female official, and the Meng family could no longer govern the military department. The 4,000 cavalry and 20,000 Pu sword soldiers under the command of the Marquis of Guangping were all accepted by the Son of Heaven.

The most important thing is that there are 3,000 weapon casters in the hands of Guangping Hou, and Mu Beiyi also laughs.

Pillow Chun sat on the seat, holding the letter in his hand, and exhaled a breath of turbidity in a daze.

So that's it...... It turned out to be such a big game of chess. Originally...... Everyone is his pawn. It turned out that these 27,000 men were his new soldiers and horses.

In the battle of Yanmen, there were Xue and Wen as Mu Beiyi's money bags, and they had no scruples. But at that time, he was afraid that he had already moved his mind. He wants real centralization, the right to be respected by the world. Pillow Chun also had doubts in his heart, Mu Beiyi had always been ruthless, how could he say goodbye to the second son of Guangping Hou. I don't talk about those high-ranking families, only talk about the maids and maids.

It turned out that he had long looked down on the Marquis of Guangping, who had the heaviest military power, and he had a good look at the second son of Meng who couldn't go to the battlefield.

It is inevitable that the Meng family will leave suspicions, and the history books will always criticize this battle. It's best to leave a son-in-law with inconvenient legs and a wife from his common people, and still take the title. and his generosity are revealed.

Really. The next day, the second son of Meng not only attacked the knighthood, but also because of the meritorious service of his father and brother who died for the country, he was awarded the title of Duke of Yingguo, and his wife Taohua was named the lady of the county.

Taking advantage of the mild weather, Yulan hung the gauze tent on the side of the courtyard to bask in the sun, holding a red bamboo pole to stretch it out. Seeing that Zhuchun was sitting on the side with a sad brow, he said with relief: "Niangniang doesn't have to worry, although something like this happened in the Ying Guo Mansion, your grandfather's family is still peaceful in the end." Peach Blossom Girl is now the county lady, and she may be able to help you in the future. Ying Guogong is young, and the days of glory are still long. Listen to ...... How good the word should be, and the time and place should be favorable. ”

“…… All things must respond to his heart. ”

"Mother?"

Pillow Chun shook his head and stretched out his hand to beckon Feng Xian.

Bong Xian was eating her own feet and ignored her.

"!" Seeing that Su Bai came in from outside the verandah with joy, and saw that the pillow was blessed, he stepped forward and said: "Today, the Duke and his wife entered the palace to be knighted, and the Duchess of Ying Guo asked His Majesty for grace, and I will come to you to say hello soon." ”

"Really?" Pillow Chun stood up with joy in his eyes, and hurriedly called Yulan, "Hurry up, take out a plate of milk hazelnut cake that Peach Blossom loves to eat, as well as chestnut cakes." Remember to chop it into pieces, mix honey with sweet soup to warm it up, she loves to drink that ...... most" said but was a little disappointed, "She is now the county lady, why do you need to give me a Jieyu from the third grade to say goodbye." ”

"Miss Eleven!" The sound of peach blossoms came from outside. She is wearing a royal blue placket vermilion cloud crane brocade dress today, and the skirt of the lower skirt is tattooed with gold and silver two-color luan patterns, which is noble and gorgeous. Looking at the corolla on his head, there are nine pearls, each of which is as big as a thumb, and he hurriedly walks over, and every step is dazzling. She wore a crested red gold bracelet on her left and right hands, raised it and flashed a golden light, and then bowed to the upper of the pillow spring, "Slave maid...... Miss you! ”

Pillow Chun's sour eyes finally turned red and helped her up. The shadow of the honest girl can still be seen between the peach blossom eyebrows, but today's elaborate dress and gorgeous ornaments, with red lips and rouge, clearly give birth to a period of cautious elegance and restraint of a noble lady.

The two looked at each other suddenly, and only hugged each other and cried once.

Su Bai finally coaxed the two of them into the house, and only then did he prepare the same kind of dim sum that Pillow Chun said.

Peach Blossom saw that the table was full of the ones she loved to eat when she was not out of the pavilion, and she choked up a little in her throat, and the tears came down again.

"Okay, okay, Duchess Yingguo, you can put away your tears. It's just that our mother and you are sad. Yulan joked, "I thought you were still that stupid girl, but when I saw you today, you were extravagant." ”

When Magnolia and Peach Blossom are together to serve the pillow spring, they love to talk and laugh.

As soon as Peach Blossom taught Magnolia to say this, the well-drawn cheeks couldn't help but show a little girl's look, and replied: "Where is I going to cry, I cry with Miss Eleven, that is Miss Eleven's willingness to give me!" ”

"Alright." Pillow Chun heard that she didn't call herself Niangniang, but still called Miss Eleven in the boudoir, and felt that the two of them had never been estranged. only shook Peach Blossom's hand, "Time is of the essence, so I don't have to talk about these idle things." Meng Ergongzi...... Ha, now it's Ying Guogong. How did he treat you? How is the old lady of Guangping Hou treating you? ”

Wonderful!
