Volume 2 Northern Xinjiang Journey Chapter 146 The Day of Laba
When Li Yuejiao heard Long say this, she suddenly realized and understood.
Now that Dazhao has just occupied Huimao City, even though Li Yuejiao doesn't know anything about military affairs, she can also think of occupying a city, stabilizing the hearts of the people, having backup food and grass, rectifying local government affairs, and reorganizing and arranging local military affairs to defend the city.
After all, Xue Zhen was delayed for some time on the way back before, so he had to hurry up to know what was going on the front line and stabilize the morale of the army.
"I know, wait for the son to come back." Li Yuejiao had the heart to ask Wen Long Xue Zhen what to do with his injuries, but after thinking about it, there were also military doctors in the army, who were proficient in bruises and wounds, so she didn't have much to do, just nodded and smiled, "The matter on my side is just listening to bluffing, and now that General Wen and these two sergeants are here, it will definitely be fine."
"Yes, ma'am, the last will do his best." Wen Long, who was bearded, was praised by Li Yuejiao and smiled, took a step back, lowered his voice, and said, "Also, the general asked the last general to tell his wife that King Huai will come to Anhua County in a few days. The general said that if the prince is here and he hasn't come back, the lady will try to avoid the prince as much as possible, if you can't avoid it, no matter what the prince says, don't go to her heart, bear with him, and when the general comes back, she will have something to say."
When Wen Long said this, although he said it solemnly, he felt that General Xue was thinking too much.
He had dealt with Mrs. Li, but he only felt that this lady spoke politely, treated people gently, and smiled beforehand, how could he offend the prince.
But Li Yuejiao's heart jumped a few beats abruptly, and she couldn't help but panic.
Why did Xiao Ningchen come to Northern Xinjiang again?
She remembered Tu Guifei's death again.
That is the biological mother of King Huai, his mother passed away, King Huai must be filial piety, shouldn't Emperor Jianlong send him to Northern Xinjiang? And if Tu Guifei is really like she thought, half of her death is saved, then King Huai should stay in Beijing, appease Tu Guifei for a while, and enjoy a mother and son.
No matter how you think about it, Emperor Jianlong shouldn't have sent King Huai to Anhua County so quickly, or when he cut off Xue Zhenzhen's position as the general of Zhenbei and let him continue to act in the army.
Li Yuejiao pondered for a long time before she asked tentatively:
"General Wen, have you heard of Jingzhong...... Is there any other message from the palace?"
The people don't know yet, but maybe these sergeants already know?
Wen Long was stunned for a moment when he was asked, looked at Li Yuejiao noncommittally, did not speak, and was very puzzled in his heart.
What the lady of the proclamation in Beijing should know; She also knew the news that King Huai had come to northern Xinjiang; Other matters involving military affairs, he categorically can't talk to Li Yuejiao.
As for the private affairs of Na Meng and Chu in the general's mansion, he didn't know if it was considered "Xin'er in Beijing", but he pondered that what Li Yuejiao asked should not be.
Thinking about it like this, he really didn't know what Li Yuejiao was asking, so he couldn't answer.
Li Yuejiao looked at his expression, and understood that he was asking something unclear, and Wen Long was confused and couldn't answer.
However, the matter of Concubine Tu can only come from the message of the imperial court, and she will never dare to spread it everywhere.
She was also helpless, so she could only shake her head and say with a smile:
"It's nothing, General Wen will go to dinner first, and I'll wait for news."
Now, I can only wait for King Huai to come to Anhua County, and take one step at a time.
*
A few days later, it will be the eighth day of the lunar month.
The night before, it snowed lightly overnight on the night of the seventh day of the new year, but the next day before dawn, the snow stopped clearing.
Qin Leda came back from Li Yuejiao, and when the weather improved, he continued to follow the craftsmen and went to other Tuncun to build water conservancy, in order to catch up with the construction period, so he lived in Tuncun nearby and did not come back to live. new
Yuntuan and Cuiqiao are now well, and they are all alive and well, especially Yuntuan, who has gathered four cui two days in advance and prepared a lot of things to boil laba porridge and make laba garlic.
And Cuiliu heard that the generation of Anhua County had the habit of eating tofu in Laba, and she also deliberately went to the Gao Niangzi of Wu Scholar to learn how to make Laba beans
Rot.
By the way, I inquired about some things in Wu Xuejiao's family, such as how many more students have been there recently, and how many more faces in the family, and I told Li Yuejiao one by one when I came back.
Li Yuejiao has been stuck at home all these days, on the one hand, after going through that incident, she really wants to nourish her spirit, and on the other hand, she looks through the codex left by her mother and decides to make a sleeve arrow for everyone to defend herself.
Although Hu Rong and they are powerful, they should also have some means of self-preservation, Li Yuejiao thought about it, and felt that this thing can be used by both men and women.
Everyone in the courtyard was so frightened because of the previous follow, so now they are happy to see Li Yuejiao not going out.
Safe.
But a few days later, Mother Tong saw that she was increasingly obsessed with the appearance of the sleeve arrow, and she was worried that it would suffocate her.
"Always in the house where the charcoal is burning, you should go out and go away."
Only Yun Tuan, who was the most frightened before, was the happiest, and explained to Tong's mother: "Miss was like this when she was in the Anyang Hou Mansion before, and she didn't go out for a long time."
When Mother Tong heard this, she paused, and said with emotion: "We are not the Hou Mansion here, and Mrs. does not talk to anyone, so it is boring again."
Yun Tuan thought about it, too.
Early in the morning, Li Yuejiao got up, washed and changed clothes, and after breakfast, Yun Tuan came in with a plate and said with a smile:
"Miss, today is Laba, do you want to go out for a walk?"
Li Yuejiao just started to look at the drawings of her sleeve arrows, looked up and saw that the things on the plate in her hand were still steaming, put down the drawings and asked:
"What's that? Could it be Laba Tofu? Why are you still angry?"
"No," the cloud lowered the plate, and inside it turned out to be an iceberg of crushed ice, dotted with dried plums.
In this cold winter, Li Yuejiao only glanced at it, and then shivered with cold: "How do you do this?"
Yun Tuan smiled and said, "Miss, Anhua County has always had the custom of eating ice in Laba, so before dawn this morning, Brother Hu ran out of the city and cut it out of the river. Miss eat it quickly, say it's Lakou Ice, and you won't get sick for a year."
Li Yuejiao, who grew up in Yujing City, heard this kind of custom for the first time, and deeply suspected that Yuntuan was playing with her, and she felt that her back molars were very cold when she thought about it.
"Nonsense, it's a cold day, how is this delicious?" She laughed and scolded, "I don't believe there are such customs in the world."
Yun Tuan laughed: "Miss, the slave really didn't lie to you, we all ate it, I don't believe you ask Brother Hu about them, they have been here for a long time, they all know."
Li Yuejiao looked at her and looked at her as if she was not fake, and looked at the iceberg hesitantly: "But eating this on such a cold day, aren't you afraid of ruining your stomach?" Can you really eat it?"
"Yes, Cui Qiao is the best at doing this, with milk and rock sugar, they all love it very much, Miss doesn't eat much, it's okay to take a bite, what about customs." Yun Tuan placed the ice bowl in front of her and said with a grin.
Li Yuejiao thought about it, these ten miles are not vulgar, and it is rare to go through it once, so she picked up the spoon and tasted it carefully.
Probably because her room was warm by the charcoal basin, the iceberg had melted slightly, and instead of freezing her teeth, it was sweet and cold, and after swallowing it, she felt a little cooler, and there was less heat from the charcoal basin.
It turns out that eating ice in winter feels pretty good.
Li Yuejiao was a greedy person in the summer, but now she thinks it is delicious, so she eats two more bites, which is quite satisfying.
Although Yun Tuan coaxed her to eat, seeing that she was addicted to eating, he was afraid that she could eat this plate, and he was afraid that it would really freeze her, so he hurriedly stopped her:
"Congratulations, Miss, Miss will be safe from all diseases in the coming year."
Seeing her like this, Li Yuejiao made a grimace at her, picked out the prunes and ate them, then put down the spoon and said angrily:
"You, let me eat, I like to eat, and you're here to stop me."
Yun Tuan smiled, packed up her things, and asked her again, "Is Miss still doing this at home today?" Why don't you go out for a walk?"
Li Yuejiao picked up the drawings and looked at them for a while, and wrote down a few numbers
The word, said, "Well, it's a holiday, just go out for a walk." I was just going to find a good blacksmith shop."
The blacksmith shops are all in the west of the city, although I don't know whether King Huai has entered the city now, but if he wants to come to his golden body, he will not go to the west of the city.
Yun Tuan was overjoyed: "Eh, okay, let Brother Hu prepare the car."
"Don't be busy, help me change my clothes first," Li Yuejiao hurriedly got up and said, "You tell the others that today, Laba, play as they like, pay attention to safety, don't conflict with others, don't gamble, eat and drink." What about the sixth brother? Went to Dr. Wei's again?"
"Yes, miss, don't worry, Second Brother Hu went with me." Cloud Cluster Road.
Recently, due to the severe cold weather, there are many sick people in Anhua City and Tun Village, and Dr. Wei is very busy.
Although Zheng Xiaoxi has just recovered from his injury and has hidden worries about his life, he is not a person who can be idle, and he will be uncomfortable if he doesn't tinker with some medicinal materials for a day, so after he sorted out the little medicinal materials in Li Yuejiao's warehouse and the few medical books in the study, Li Yuejiao simply asked him to help Doctor Wei.
Hu Mu followed him step by step, and nothing would happen.
"Well, let's go." Li Yuejiao nodded, and suddenly remembered another matter, so she called Cuiliu Dao, "Let's make Laba garlic and Laba Tofu, send some to my cousin's residence, and then ask my cousin, what happened to his booklet?" Can you see the Feng family?"
Du Yan is now under the arrangement of Xue Zhen, settled in a house in the north of the city, although Li Yuejiao has not been there, but has sent Cuiliu to send things over there a few times, and Du Yang also sent the little maid around him to return the gift once.
Listening to the words of the little guy, the Feng family gave Du Tian a lot of face, and they haven't let him in so far.
But Du Day's temperament is sparse, and he is not angry, but he still posts and asks for a meeting every day, and he is very patient.
Li Yuejiao knew that the Feng family's face was not thrown to Du Yan to see, but for her and Xue Zhen to see, and she was quite upset, so she was more diligent in letting people send things over, and asked Cui Liuqin to inquire about the news over there, if Du Sun really suffered a loss, she could help.
Cuiliu answered.
And Li Yuejiao led the clouds, sat in the sheep cart driven by Hu Rong, and went to the Mahang Market in the west of the city to find a blacksmith shop.
