Grand View Garden, Kusui-an.

Miaoyu was dressed in a pure white fox fur and sat at the coffee table.

There was a small red clay stove next to it, exuding a warm smell, and a kettle was sitting on it, steaming slightly.

There is a teacup and a teapot on the coffee table.

Miaoyu picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Looking at the heavy snow fluttering outside the door and the red plum blooming, my heart was full of thoughts.

Such a beautiful day, but the person you like is not around, and you can't enjoy it together, which is really a big regret in life.

Recalling the scenes with Jia Cong, he couldn't help but show a sweet smile on his face.

If you can get a confidant in this life, you will have no regrets in this life.

I don't know what happened to him over there? The snow in the north should be heavier than in the capital, right?

I'm missing him at this time, and I don't know if he's thinking about me now.

Thinking so, he got up and went to the courtyard, looked to the north, and let the snowflakes fall on his body and on his head.

He muttered in his mouth, "If you are drenched in snow today, you will be white-headed in this life." I hope God can bless him with peace and soundness, no disasters and no difficulties, and a long life."

With that, fold your hands, close your eyes slightly, and mutter.

At this time, a burst of laughter came to my ears.

Miaoyu opened her eyes and turned to look.

I saw Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, with a few maids, just walked into the Lucui Nunnery.

Seeing Miaoyu standing in the courtyard, Lin Daiyu chuckled and said, "Hey, don't stay in a good house, why don't you run out and get drenched in the snow, and you don't wear a hat, and you're not afraid of the wind and cold."

Miao Yu smiled: "I also came out on a whim to feel the embrace of nature. It's snowing so hard, why are you coming out, please come in the house, I've just made tea, and I haven't drunk it yet."

Several people came to the house together and sat down at the coffee table.

Miaoyu took a few more cups and poured tea for a few people.

Miaoyu looked at Xue Baochai and then at her stomach.

"You're pregnant with a child, and you dare to run around in the snow, this is really a bit bold, if you miss a little, then what's the point?"

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "Today, the sisters have come to play in the garden, and I also came out to breathe, now the road is not slippery, be careful and it's okay, there are a few masters to follow."

Looking at the surrounding furnishings, the coffee table was moved to a position close to the door, and there was a steaming kettle sitting on the small red clay stove next to it.

He smiled again: "You are very free and easy, drinking tea and enjoying the snow here alone."

Miaoyu picked up the teacup and took a sip gently.

"I'm idle alone, and when I catch up with such heavy snow, I think you will definitely come over to enjoy the snow, so I prepared in advance."

Lin Daiyu picked up the tea cup in front of her, took a sip, and said with a chuckle: "You know us, mainly because you are clean here, the scenery is good, the tea is better, and you can enjoy the tea and snow here, which is more interesting.

Hey, your tea today tastes more unique, and it seems to taste better than usual."

Miaoyu smiled slightly: "Of course, this is five years ago when I lived in the Xuanjiao Panxiang Temple, the snow on the plum blossoms I harvested, and I got the green flower urn with a grimace, and I was reluctant to eat it, buried it in the ground, and it only bloomed this winter."

I've only eaten it once, and this is the second time. By the way, the prince has sent a letter home, is he okay in the north?"

Lin Daiyu nodded: "I just sent a letter back a few days ago, Brother Cong is fine, but don't worry about him, there is no big war over there for the time being, and it is snowing, and there will be no war."

It's just that it's too cold over there, and they won't let us go, and it's snowing, and the road is closed by heavy snow, so we can't go."

Xue Baochai said with a smile: "We are all southerners, and we must not be used to going to such a cold place in Liaodong, and the prince may also have this concern, so he will not let everyone go."

The three of them drank tea and enjoyed the snow, gossiping over and over again, mentioning Jia Cong from time to time.

Then

, and another person ran in from outside the door.

Wearing a white fox fur on his body, a white fox fur hat on his head, his whole body was snow-white and fluffy, and only a small face was exposed, which was Shi Xiangyun.

As soon as Shi Xiangyun entered the door and saw a few people, he shouted.

"I knew that a few of you secretly came here for tea, and you didn't say a word to call me along."

Everyone is used to their own temperaments, and they don't care.

Miaoyu got up and took another cup and poured Shi Xiangyun a cup of tea.

Shi Xiangyun stretched out his hand to pick it up, drank it in a few sips, and poured himself another glass.

Xue Baochai helped her flick the snow on the warhead, and said with a smile: "As soon as you enter the garden, you will run away, where will we tell you, with your temperament, you can't sit still, where did you go crazy just now?"

Lin Daiyu shook her head: "I must have gone to find the piano girl and the four girls, plus Xiao Yu'er, the four naughty mischievous bags are all together." Why didn't you come to us when you weren't playing together?"

Shi Xiangyun grinned and said: "Such a good day, such a good scene, such a good material, naturally it is a poetry club, the eldest sister and they have all gone to the eldest sister-in-law, the eldest sister-in-law has already begun to show up, just a few of you, I am here to invite you."

The three of them looked at each other with a smile on their faces.

Everyone is a talented girl, and such a lively and fun opportunity will naturally not be missed.

"In that case, let's go, the eldest sister has moved in recently, and the garden has become more lively. Zijuan, inform the kitchen in the house and ask them to cook some dishes and send them over, and in addition, bring some candy and melon seeds."

"Knowing the princess, I'll do it."

Zijuan agreed, got up and left.

Since Jia Cong led the troops to the battle, Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, Ruyan, Da Yuer, etc., these wives and concubines have nothing to do in the house, except for accompanying the old lady, they go to the garden to play every day.

Either start a poetry club, or drink and play, it's really a bit of a self-indulgence.

The four of them didn't stay long, got up and followed out of the hermitage, and disappeared into the vast snow.

······

Liaodong, Liaoyang City.

With Jia Cong's order, the entire Liaoyang City seemed to come to life.

On the streets, there are crowds of people busy cleaning the snow, rubbing shoulders and rubbing shoulders, and it is more lively than the New Year.

In the city of Liaoyang, 50,000 soldiers were left to garrison, and 10,000 were assigned to help the people transport snow outside the city.

The rest of the people all went out of the city to clean the official roads outside.

In doing so, you can ensure that the roads in various places are unobstructed and not affected by heavy snowfall, making it convenient for everyone to travel.

If you have something, you can also quickly exchange messages.

Although few people go out in winter, and many people feel that it is unnecessary, Jia Cong still insists on his opinion, thinking that it is still somewhat useful, at least to make the caravan unimpeded.

The troops are idle, and cleaning the snow on the official road is regarded as daily training.

The snow in Liaoyang City has been cleaned up in one day.

However, it took two full days to transport it out.

In the entire Liaoyang City, it is clean and clean, no different from usual, and there is no snow on the streets.

The shops are open as usual, the shops are open as usual, and the streets are still thriving.

If the city is full of snow, it is estimated that there are few people in sight on the streets.

From this point of view, the effect is still quite large.

The soldiers who went out of the city to clean up the snow worked for more than ten days before they cleaned up the official roads everywhere and cleaned them up until Shanhaiguan, and then returned.

In this way, it will not affect the caravan and will not affect the transportation of supplies.

In the future, there will be officials in nearby towns and towns who will be responsible for organizing people to clean and keep the roads clear.

The day after the order was issued, Jia Cong took Qingwen, Chunlan and others, and called Li Biao, with fifty personal soldiers, to the vicinity

Hunting in the mountains and forests.

After a day of playing outside, I returned to the city in the evening.

Hitting a dozen hares, pheasants, and a roe deer was also a small gain.

There will be no war this winter, and there will be nothing to do.

Jia Cong took Qingwen and them, as well as his own personal soldiers, to hunt everywhere.

He even took them on a trip to the grassland, where he played for more than ten days before coming back.

The two Hai Dongqing who were fostered in Zhang Hu's place were also brought back.

He bought a dozen hound puppies from those hunters and fed them in his yard.

In the future, it is still necessary to stay in Liaodong all the year round and domesticate some hunting dogs by yourself.

Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by.

In the blink of an eye, four months have passed.

Jia Cong and Qingwen spent a Spring Festival in Liaodong.

Half of these four months were spent hunting with them.

This winter has been a good one.

Now spring is about to begin, and it's time for the snow and ice to melt.

Jia Cong summoned officials from all over the country and asked them to organize preparations for spring plowing and spring sowing.

At the same time, preparations were also made for the organization of land reclamation.

On the side of the army, there is nothing to do, except for the personnel who patrol every day, the others continue to train.

After one winter and four months of training, all the troops have made some progress.

First of all, the mental outlook is different, and everyone has confidence.

This is similar to them when Jia Cong first took over.

The first thing at the beginning of spring, Jia Cong arranged for Chunlan and Qiu Ju to lead a hundred soldiers to escort Han Nianci back to the capital.

There were also five carts accompanying him, all of which were loaded with local products from Liaodong.

Because Jia Cong has been on the expedition to Liaodong for seven months.

The pregnant women in the family are also eight or nine months pregnant and are about to give birth.

With Han Nianci going home to watch them give birth, Jia Cong was able to feel more at ease.

Although there is no war at present, Jia Cong cannot return to Beijing without authorization, so he can only send Han Nianci home.

Jia Cong stayed in Liaodong and had already begun to let people build a palace.

Before the snow last year, a batch of materials was transported, and after the beginning of spring, another batch was shipped from the sea, and it was ready to start.

It is still in the stage of laying the foundation, and there are not many people doing the work.

After the foundation is laid, it will be warmed again, all the necessary materials will be transported, and a group of more people will be gathered, and the main building will soon be built.

During this time, a task was also assigned to Tiezhu.

Let him use his spare time to develop a group of intelligence personnel in various parts of Liaodong to keep abreast of the movements of various places.

You can better understand the actual situation in various parts of Liaodong.

Let them become Jia Cong's eyes and help Jia Cong better understand and control all parts of Liaodong.

It won't take long, only one year, to be able to spread the intelligence network throughout Liaodong.

This time, Chunlan and they will go back, and they will also bring the crescent moon to Liaodong.

By the way, bring some intelligence backbones over and let them take over the intelligence work in Liaodong so that they can start their work faster.

As for the intelligence network in the capital, it was temporarily handed over to Erya.

Approaching the end of February, Han Nianci and Chunlan returned to the Liaodong Palace in the capital.

When several people returned home, they were immediately surrounded by Lin Daiyu, Shi Xiangyun and others, asking questions about Jia Cong's current situation.

"Nianci, why are the three of you back, the prince has nothing to do in Liaodong, right?"

"Meet the Princess."

The three of them first saluted Lin Daiyu, and then answered his question.

"Back to the princess, everything is fine now, and everyone doesn't need to worry.

The prince asked us to come back because he knew how many people there were

A sister was about to give birth, and I couldn't feel at ease, so I asked Chunlan and Qiu Ju to send me back, help a few sisters check their bodies, and help them give birth by the way."

Hearing this, Lin Daiyu nodded.

"Several sisters in the family are indeed approaching the day of labor, although they have already found a midwife, I still have some ups and downs in my heart, and now that you are back, I am relieved to have you by their side."

Han Nianci smiled and said, "Don't worry, princess, with me, the sisters will be fine."

"Well, by the way, Nianci, the prince asked you to come back, do you have any special instructions?"

Lin Daiyu looked at Han Nianci and asked.

Han Nianci took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Lin Daiyu.

"Princess, this is the prince's letter, some things are written in the prince, you can read it yourself."

Lin Daiyu took the letter, opened the envelope, took out the letterhead, and unfolded it to read.

The letter first told the feelings of parting, the words of longing, the love was sincere, and Lin Daiyu, who saw it, did not close to the corners of her mouth, and her heart was extremely sweet.

Next, I talked about some things in Liaodong, as well as the form of Liaodong.

also said that the crescent moon took part of the backbone and went to Liaodong.

In short, I said a lot of things and arranged some things.

After reading the letter, Lin Daiyu glanced at everyone.

He said, "Don't worry, the prince is doing well in Liaodong, this time he sent Nianci back to help a few sisters deliver babies, and the prince has not forgotten us."

Let's all go back first, Nianci, you have worked the road, go down and rest first, Erya and Crescent, you two stay, I have something to tell you."

"Yes, Princess."

Everyone agreed, and then they retreated.

Only Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, Er Ya and Crescent Moon were left in the house, as well as Zijuan.

"Crescent Moon, the prince asked you to select a part of the backbone and go to Liaodong together to develop a new intelligence network there. The affairs of the capital will be handed over to Erya for the time being, what is your opinion?"

Yueya shook her head, Jia Cong's orders were carried out unconditionally, and she didn't see her for six or seven months, she also missed Jia Cong a little.

This time I went to Liaodong, just to do things by his side, and I can also solve the pain of lovesickness.

"The concubine has no opinion, give me three days, I'll hand over to Erya, select some people, and then you can go."
