Hou Ye also smiled and nodded, in the past few days, he had already arranged for people to explore Jinguan City, two hundred miles away, where two thousand barbarians were stationed.

Last year, the barbarians drove out the remnants of the people, planted thousands of acres of crops, harvested a lot of grain, and thousands of cattle and sheep.

If there is no good way to deal with it on the Xindu side, he plans to lead people to attack the city.

Of course, inevitably, there will be heavy casualties in the assault.

So, he won't give an order until he has to.

They are all flesh and blood born and raised by his parents, and he is reluctant to lose one, so it is best to bring the soldiers back to Jiangnan without missing a single one.

"Tell the outpost, don't go too deep into the boundary of Jinguan City, wait for the army to slowly press, and then discuss the way." Hou Ye instructed, "We can send the news of our lack of food to the barbarians and lure them out of the city." ”

"Yes, that's a good idea!" Li Laosi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was just about to open his mouth to take on this task, but he suddenly changed his mind.

"Master Hou, although this second batch of grain has successfully crossed the river, it is still more than half a month away from arriving at us, and the people behind it will still do their tricks.

"I'd like to bring someone to pick it up, and it would be better if I could catch the fox's tail."

Hou Ye pondered for a moment and responded, "It's okay, the news that the second batch of grain is already on the way will be kept secret for the time being, and everything will be said when it arrives successfully."

"You take five hundred men to pick up the grain convoy, and I will say that you are looking for an opportunity to seize the barbarians' grain."

"Without further ado, I'll set off with my troops." Li Laosi couldn't hold it back, and seeing that Hou Ye had no objection, he turned around and walked out of the tent.

It happened that Jiang Cheng came from a distance, walked opposite him, and asked, "What are you doing here, happy to be like this?" ”

"Haha, Master Hou asked me to take people out for a walk, I want to think of ways to take the barbarians' food!" Li Laosi patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "You remember to take care of Master Hou more, I'm going to kill the enemy!" ”

With that, he hurried away.

Jiang Cheng was helpless, and he couldn't help but rub his numb shoulders with tears and laughter, "This guy, as soon as he mentions going into battle to kill the enemy, he will be beaten with chicken blood." ”

Don't talk about the Jiangbei camp, just say that here in Xindu, the military rations were successfully transported, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

In addition to Li Laoer, he also had to keep an eye on the military department and the household department to collect food in various states, so as not to be delayed indefinitely, and the rest of the people rested.

It was the emperor who held a flower-viewing banquet for the concubine, which was very lively.

At the banquet, the concubine hugged the second prince to the limelight, and the ladies and nobles of each family were extremely beautiful and gave a lot of gifts.

Before, Jiayin and the third princess went to the imperial study several times and didn't see the emperor, and the third princess lost her temper and refused to go to the closed door anymore.

Jiayin thought that the Ministry of War had not yet found out the murderer who destroyed the military rations, and the emperor did not urge much, but instead used all his thoughts on women, and she was not happy.

So, a handful of pollen was put in the tea, and she and the third princess had rashes on their faces.

Naturally, there is no need to go to the flower viewing banquet of the concubine!

The two of them nested in Zhilan Palace to eat fruit and swing.

Two days later, the concubine's flower-viewing banquet passed, and their rash was cured.

The doctor was confused, he didn't know why this rash came in a hurry, and it went faster, and in the end it could only be attributed to ...... Summer is on fire!

Jiayin was worried about the family, and it happened that Mu Jue came in from outside with news that Baozhu was about to celebrate her birthday, so he sent someone to the Earl's Mansion to ask her if she could get together.

Jiayin is a little weak-hearted, and she has really ignored this little sister recently.

So, she rummaged through the space for a long time and found a pair of rabbit lights.

The rarest white cloud yarn in the south is made of rabbit skin, green bamboo is the bone, gold thread embroidery, and ruby inlaid eyes, which is really exquisite and lovely.

If it was hung outside the bed of the orb at night, she would have liked it.

The third princess also felt depressed in the palace, and shouted that Caiyun had found a pair of Kodama Ruyi boxes, and was going to go to Jia's house to play with Jiayin.

Everyone in the world has a pair of snobbish eyes, although the Jia family loves the jewel, they will definitely choose a good mother-in-law for the jewel.

But among the little sisters who come and go on a daily basis, if there is one more princess, it will also make the future in-laws look at it highly.

Therefore, Jiayin sent news to the Jia family in advance.

Of course, the Jia family was also happy, and raised the specifications of the Baozhu birthday banquet a lot.

On this day, Jiayin and the third princess took a carriage out of the palace, turned to Baiyunjian to get a two-layer fruit cake, and then went to Jia's house.

Second Lady Jia and Baozhu were already waiting at the door.

Seeing Jiayin and the third princess get out of the carriage, Baozhu rushed to him with a smile and hugged one by one, and was overjoyed.

The third princess is used to being lonely, and even if she has a few friends before, she is not sincere, but she is just a perfunctory echo worm.

Otherwise, after she gets close to Jiayin, she won't love Jiayin so much, and she will maintain it in every possible way, because true friends are too rare.

And Bao Zhu'er, a cheerful fat girl, is like a sister to her.

Grab good news together, grab snacks together, and be the most comfortable and happy.

Therefore, Second Mrs. Jia was taken aback, worried that when her daughter collided with the third princess, the third princess had already hugged Baozhu and asked her with a smile What delicious food she was preparing!

The three little sisters happily arrived at the garden pavilion of the Jia family, Xu Xi and Mei Lan were already here, and even Gu Qingqing, who was married, arrived.

Jiayin was extremely surprised, and stepped forward to shake Gu Qingqing's hand, "Sister Gu, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's always good?" ”

Gu Qingqing was also very excited, and shook the good news hard, but the response was a little reluctant, "Okay...... I'm all right, I just miss you. ”

Jiayin saw that her expression was aggrieved and emotional, and she wanted to ask a few more words, but she felt that the occasion was wrong.

Fortunately, Xu Xi and Mei Lan also opened their mouths to greet each other, and what everyone said was lively, but they were wrong.

Second Mrs. Jia is a shrewd woman, she gave the space for the little girls to play, leaving only the competent mother-in-law and maids to serve.

Delicious snacks and melons and fruits were set up on the table, tea and snacks were available, and the little sisters were blowing the summer breeze and neatly putting away the cards, reliving the sticker strip contest that must be indispensable for their party.

Mei Lan and Xu Xi have already decided on their in-laws' family, and they will get married in a few months, this is the last free time to be girls, so the two can play very openly.

When you are happy, you laugh, and when you are unhappy, you pout and roll up your sleeves.

Driven by them, the rest of the people were also fully engaged, and they played a handful of cards into the fierce "battle of life and death".

In the end, several people became paper notes, and even the good news did not escape.

Several people looked at each other, all holding their stomachs, laughing and rolling on the ground.

The maids and mothers-in-law outside the water pavilion had already lowered their heads, and their shoulders trembled like chaff.

Or Baozhu didn't forget that she was the master, summoned the maid to get warm water, took fat powder, and took care of everyone to wash their faces and makeup again, so that they could be considered to have restored the appearance of a dignified and beautiful noblewoman.

Soon, the banquet was served again.

The girls gathered together, and without eating a few bites of the food, they poured fruit wine into half a jar.

Especially Gu Qingqing, drink cup after cup, non-stop.

At first, everyone toasted together, but slowly realized that something was wrong.

Baozhu is so young that he doesn't know what to do, so he looks at Jiayin like he asks for help.

Jiayin stepped forward and snatched Gu Qingqing's wine glass, then stuffed her with a chicken leg, and said with a smile, "Sister Gu, don't drink all the time." I remember your favorite chicken thighs, so pad your stomach first!

"Baozhu is greedy, her chef has been tortured by her for so many years, and her skills are excellent. How about you taste it? ”

Gu Qingqing paused for a moment, looked up at the doubts on everyone's faces, she suddenly threw away the chicken legs, hugged Jiayin and cried.
