Han Maodian, who was riding on the horse, lost his mind for a moment, and he actually forgot about this stubble. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The agreement is invalid!" Han Maodian turned sideways and looked down at Zhou Qiaoqiao and said.

Void?

Zhou Qiaoqiao looked up at Han Maodian in surprise, what is this guy doing again? The agreement is invalid, hasn't he helped her in vain these days?

"Are you sure?" she couldn't believe easily, this man was not a good man and a woman!

Han Maodian smiled, said lightly that there would be no time after the sentence, and then rode away. Brought up dust all the way.

Zhou Qiaoqiao looked at Han Maodian's method of leaving for a while, and said to the deputy general beside him: "Pack up your things and go back to the capital." ”

She must go back, these soldiers will return to Dasheng, and it is necessary for the court to give them military salaries, food and grass. She had to go back to fight for all this, but she put it off again and again, and finally it was time to go back.

"You guys guard here, the Dasheng Liao Kingdom is about to make peace, and there will be no war in the short term. Wait a minute... I'll try to find a safe camp for everyone. "At least not in such a place.

"We believe in the young master!" said the lieutenant general. "The young master... Old General Liu, they ?...," the adjutant general asked with a sad face. The main general of the Zhu family army entered Beijing with the Fu family, but now they are being taken hostage by the Fu family, and they are also very worried.

"Don't worry, Fu Shi still wants to save General Liu's life now, and he won't hurt their lives for the time being. Leave that to me. Zhou Qiaoqiao saw that she had packed up the things she was going to bring back to Beijing, and personally ordered a hundred elites to accompany her, of course, the thousand secret guards of the Zhu family in the past are now under her. These people will also hide in the shadows and follow her into Beijing, but there is no need to let the court know!

The frame was ready, and the two soldiers drove a drunken old man into the carriage, which turned out to be Lord Chen, the secretary of the military department. Emperor Chengshun asked him to assist Zhou Qiaoqiao to subdue 50,000 elite soldiers, but he was in charge of his head and feet everywhere, Zhou Qiaoqiao simply found a few generals who could talk to him, drank with him every day, and drunk him all day long, which saved a lot of trouble!

Zhou Qiaoqiao said: "You send Lord Chen to go first, and I will go to Pingxi Wangfu to say goodbye to my godfather." ”

The people took the command.

Zhou Qiaoqiao took a deep breath before riding his horse in the direction of Pingxi Palace. She didn't want to deal with the old fox of King Pingxi, but now it is beneficial and harmless to make friends with the Pingxi Palace, even if it is only superficial, after returning to Beijing, she has another bargaining chip in front of Emperor Chengshun, which is more convenient for her to act in the capital!

She must reproduce the glory of the Zhu family, and then slash the enemy!

In the Zhou family in the capital, Nie Xiaofan waited at home for the time when the lantern was held, and there was no news of Zhou Jiulang, but Zhou Shaoyang, who went to the upper court, did not see the lower dynasty.

Nie Xiaofan secretly said that it was not good, and he didn't care about anything else, and went directly to Mrs. Zhou. Nie Xiaofan originally wanted to ask her to send someone to inquire about the news, but the old man was very calm: "Now that Baozhu is going to Liao Kingdom to make peace, how can the emperor be embarrassed by us?"

Take 10,000 steps back and say that if the two countries do not get along and want to fight, then Emperor Chengshun will not move the central and right ministers at this time.

Nie Xiaofan also knew that this was the case, but it was inevitable that he would be cranky by himself. Now that she heard the old lady's calm and kind words, she felt much more at ease.

"Grandmother, have you seen the emperor?" Nie Xiaofan was suddenly curious, what were the emperors like.

Mrs. Zhou sat on the kang, took a sip of tea slowly, and said, "When I first met him, he was not the emperor. ”

At that time, he was very good friends with Hua'er, and several times, he took Hua'er to skip school, and when he arrived at Zhou's house, he always liked to eat the osmanthus cake she made.

"Grandmother can make osmanthus cakes?" Nie Xiaofan was a little surprised, Mrs. Zhou has always been a high-minded image in her heart, and she actually has a time to wash her hands and make soup?

Mrs. Zhou was slightly distracted, as if she remembered the past, and after a while, she seemed to be tired, leaned on the pillow and squinted her eyes, and said leisurely: "In the past, when my father and mother were there, I always liked to get some food to play..." ”

Mrs. Zhou's father and mother must be Nie Xiaofan's great-grandfather and great-grandmother who died early, and she inadvertently aroused the sadness of the old man...

Nie Xiaofan felt a little guilty when she saw the old lady like this, but she didn't know what to say, she walked over and sat next to the old lady Zhou and beat her legs like a little maid, hoping that she would be better.

"Your grandmother's pastries are delicious. Old Madam Zhou said for no reason.

"Did you learn from her?" Nie Xiaofan said. My grandmother's pastry is now a famous food in Beijing.

"No, no, no..." Old Madam Zhou suddenly laughed again, and she stretched out her hand to signal Nie Xiaofan to help her up. And he said, "I taught her." ”

"Then you... Are you so powerful?" Nie Xiaofan was extremely surprised, she said that Mrs. Zhou was really not a casual talk, as the daughter of a squire, she actually knew how to mix spices, which was just that, back then, she was a boudoir woman, and she was able to arrange for her cousin to elope with her sweetheart...

In ancient times, Mo said that he did this, and he didn't even dare to think about it. And Mrs. Zhou not only did it back then, but also succeeded, and also planted a suspicious array after they left, making people think that Huizhen was killed by the fox demon back then...

This courage and courage really don't have ordinary women.

It's just that... Thinking of the fox demon and the confusing story back then, Nie Xiaofan suddenly felt very sorry for the old man in front of her. She was as bright and smart as a delicate flower, but she was trapped in this inner house and missed the whole flowering season.

"I don't know if I'm getting old, lately... I always think of the past..."Nie Xiaofan helped Mrs. Zhou to walk around in the yard, there are no plants in Fu'an Hall, only some rockeries and strange stones to decorate, two years ago, a small lake was added to the courtyard, there was flowing water, and ornamental fish were raised, and this yard came alive. The old lady has always been afraid of the dark, so the courtyard has always been brightly lit. It's a night with a good view.

"That means you have a good memory!" Nie Xiaofan said in a rare playful way, she wanted to make the old lady happy.

Old Madam Zhou shook her head helplessly, and Nie Xiaofan helped her to stand still by the small lake, looking at the small fish swimming around.

"Xiaofan, people will get old. I'm not worried about anything. It's just that the Zhou family... The Zhou family is now in turmoil..."Old Madam Zhou's voice was extremely low, and her eyes looked into the distance with empty eyes.

Today's Emperor Chengshun is no longer the boy who escaped the class of the famous teacher and came to her to beg for osmanthus cakes. Too many things have happened over the years, and Hua'er has changed from a favored minister to a powerful minister... The relationship between the monarch and the minister is insignificant... This pile shows that the Zhou family is different from the past...

"The Zhou family can't afford the wind and rain now, but then again... Now is an eventful autumn, how can there be no wind and rain?" Old Madam Zhou sighed again. "It's okay now, but you... And Jiuro, you have to know how to plan ahead..."

Nie Xiaofan just wanted to ask what the wind and rain was, but someone came to report that Xiangye and the Ninth Young Master were back.
