Snow falls in Chang'an, but can not hide the vigorous enthusiasm of the people of Chang'an, this year's cotton harvest again, cotton clothes are finally no longer scarce, the people of Chang'an almost everyone has a feeling, this winter on a feeling, that is, warm, thick cotton clothes on the body, the two hands so a copy, on the two words comfortable, so this winter, the people of Chang'an did not feel how cold, because the legendary cotton clothes are really warm on the body, so the entire people of Chang'an are grateful to Li Yong, unfortunately, Li Yong is not in Chang'an, So this winter, they miss Li Yong very much, and it can't be called a pity, because this emperor's eastern crusade has the greatest credit to Li Yong, if there is no Li Yong, can this eastern crusade be so smooth? When the news of the army breaking through Pyongyang City reached Chang'an, the people of Chang'an were excited and almost crazy, the former Sui Sui Emperor Yang launched a million army three expeditions, the people lost money, died and injured countless people, all in vain, who would have thought that the current emperor only brought more than 100,000 troops to the east and went all the way to the ground, directly captured Pyongyang City, and destroyed Goguryeo, although before the army set out, everyone was full of confidence in the Eastern Expedition, and felt that the Eastern Expedition would be able to win the battle, but also felt that the Liaodong City was already the best result, Who would have thought! Who wouldn't be thrilled to capture the entire Goguryeo so easily, as if in a dream? This is simply a shame! Wash away all the humiliation caused by the former Sui, and the good news of the great victory made the officials and people of the entire Tang Dynasty fall into excitement, making this winter extraordinarily hot, and this heat can not be dispersed for a long time, even the always solemn palace also wants to be a lot more cheerful, and the eldest grandson Empress also showed a happy face, because the capture of Pyongyang City, that means that the army will be triumphant, the neatly planned Li Yongjiazhuang is very beautiful after the snow, and the Xishan Villa after the snow is even more beautiful, in the back garden, Princess Li Lizhi of Changle is wearing a gorgeous fur cloak, but she is not in the mood to enjoy this beautiful snow scene, although the snow scene is beautiful, but there is no good person on the side, even the beautiful scenery has lost its color, at this moment Princess Changle misses the snow scene of Lishan the most, as well as the soup spring of Lishan, and what she misses even more is the days when she soaked in the hot spring with Li Yong.

"At this moment, the army should already be on the way back!"

Wu Cao said with relief.

Chunlan and Yingluo were excited when they heard this, the battle had been over, not only did the grandfather not encounter danger, but also made a great contribution and is now on the way back, there is no more exciting news than this, of course Li Lizhen also understands this, just like the cowardice of the hometown, knowing that Li Yong is already on the way back, the thoughts in her heart not only did not subside, but rose even higher, Li Lizhi said quietly.

"The snow in Chang'an is so big, how big is the snow in Liaodong? The road is blocked by heavy snow, and the road is difficult to navigate, and I don't know how long they will have to walk! ”

Oh, yes! Even the snow in Chang'an is so heavy, and there is no cement road in Liaodong, the army must be very slow to walk, Chunlan is aggrieved.

"Then Grandpa won't be able to come back for the New Year?"

Wu Cao couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this.

"Even if it doesn't snow, it's impossible for my grandfather to rush back for the New Year, Pyongyang City is too far away from our Chang'an, I looked at the map that day and found that it was completely a detour, if you take the sea route, it's quite close!"

Yingluo couldn't help but exclaim.

"yes, don't we have a sea vessel? Are the sea boats back? You can let them take the sea boat to pick up the grandfather! ”

Li Lizhi shook her head slightly after hearing this.

"The ships have all returned, but they are anchored in Lingnan or other ports."

In fact, what they said was right, but they didn't think about it, if they went to pick up Li Yong alone, what would the rest of the others think of him, Chunlan couldn't help pinching her fingers when she heard it.

"How long will it take to gallop from Chang'an to Lingnan to give orders, and then the sea ships will go north from Lingnan, and then go to Goguryeo?"

Wu Cao shook his head slightly when he heard this.

"I haven't made an appointment with a time and place, how can I pick up my grandfather? And after all, it is dangerous to be a sea ship, which is related to the safety of Jiangshan Sheji, and the sage may not agree to return to Datang by sea ship, and the grandfather has already returned to Chang'an at this time. ”

Li Lizhen smiled.

"Wait, since we're already on the way back, we have hope!"

Yingluo suddenly remembered Luo Fengxiang and Lin Ruoxi, who went to Liaodong, and said with some envy.

"Luo Nuxia and Ruoxi are waiting in Liaodong, and I don't know if I have received my grandfather!"

Li Lizhi frowned and said sadly.

"There is news from the governor of Yingzhou, the two of them left Yingzhou and went deep into Liaodong, and they don't know what happened? If the two of them are three long and two short, I don't know how to explain to Lang Jun! ”

Chunlan and Yingluo exclaimed.

"Huh? Didn't they let them wait in Yingzhou? How did they go deep into Liaodong? ”

Li Lizhi sighed lightly.

"The two of them are in Yingzhou, and they are suffering from lovesickness, how can they bear not to go to Liaodong? If it were me, I'm afraid I couldn't help but go deep into Liaodong, and it was my fault that I shouldn't have agreed to let the two of them leave Chang'an in the first place. ”

Wu Cao said with relief.

"How can this be blamed on the princess? As the saying goes, life and death have a destiny and wealth in the sky, this is the number of human lives, and the two of them are not like us who are powerless, they are heroines who cross the rivers and lakes, they will be fine, maybe they are taking care of their grandfather now! ”

Yingluo pouted.

"How is that possible? There can't be women in the army, otherwise we would have gone out with my grandfather a long time ago! ”

Li Li looked at the crystal white snow and muttered.

"I wish time would pass sooner!"

Heavy snow covers the entire Guanzhong, the river is frozen, the road is difficult to travel, but there is a road that can still pass smoothly, that is, the cement road, after the cleaning of the cement road can still pass smoothly, so even if it is a heavy snow day, there is still an endless stream of convoys on the cement road, from Luoyang to Chang'an on the cement road, hundreds of carriages are moving forward in a mighty way, such a long team is not common in such a snowy day, the carriage has a very obvious sign - the big Li character, this is a caravan to the sea, from Lingnan to Chang'an, Originally, they thought that they would be trapped on the road by a heavy snowfall, but they didn't expect that the cement road had been paved to such a long time, they moved forward along the cement road with difficulty, from Lingnan to Chang'an, this road is really not easy, because the carriages are too full, too heavy, such a mighty team is so eye-catching, although it has not yet arrived in Chang'an has caused a sensation on the road, the merchants on the road can't help but ask curiously, it turns out that this is the caravan of the Rongfu County Mansion to the sea with property to the north, the mighty caravan did not enter Chang'an, Instead, he went directly to Lijiazhuang, and immediately caused a sensation in Lijiazhuang, although the carriage was covered with felt cloth, but looking at this heavy carriage knew that it must be extraordinary, this is the fleet that went to sea to transport property to the north, needless to say, the property carried in these carriages must be worth a lot of money, and the people in the house were extremely happy, first the news of the army's victory back to the division spread throughout Chang'an, and now the caravan that went to sea also returned with a full load, and the Xishan Courtyard also received the news of Lijiazhuang, and the housekeeper welcomed it out with great joy, While sending someone to know the inner house, the maid trotted into the back garden with small steps.

"Princess, princess, great joy!"

The maid shouted in surprise, Li Lizhi and Wu Cao were thinking about Li Yong, and suddenly heard the maid running in and shouting with great joy, and their hearts were almost not jumping out of excitement, a happy event? What other great joy could there be? Isn't Li Yong coming back early? It's not impossible, after the army captured Pyongyang City, the emperor didn't return immediately, and he had to appease the people of Goguryeo and make arrangements, but it was possible that Li Yong would return early because of something, which was exactly what they were looking forward to day and night!

"Cai'er, is Grandpa back?"

Chunlan asked in surprise, the maid Cai'er couldn't help but be stunned when she heard it, Grandpa is back? Isn't Grandpa still on his way back to his teacher? Could it be that Grandpa will be able to come back in two days?

"No, I didn't see my grandfather come back, it was the caravan that went to sea back, and I returned with a full load, and I heard from the housekeeper that there were hundreds of carriages!"

Cai'er said respectfully, it turned out that the caravan that went to sea came back with goods, which is indeed a happy event, but Li Lizhi couldn't help but sigh lightly when she heard it, just now she thought it was Li Yong who came back, although the caravan transported the goods back is also a happy event, but compared to Li Yong's return, it is nothing at all, no matter how much money is just icing on the cake, not to mention Princess Changle, even Wu Cao, Chunlan and others are a little disappointed, after all, the county mansion is rich enough, but this is a good thing after all, Moreover, the seafarers who go to sea have gone through hardships and dangers, and it is not easy, as the mother of the house, how can they be disappointed? Li Li said with a smile.

"I have already received a letter saying that all the sea ships have returned to Lingnan or other ports, and they should almost arrive in Chang'an, and I thought they would be delayed for some time because of the heavy snow, let's go and take a look!"

The front yard of the county mansion in Lijiazhuang is bustling! Horse-drawn carriages drove in through the side door into the county mansion, acquaintances were greeting, and seafarers returning from the sea were spitting and talking.

"The princess has arrived!"

With Yahuan's shout, the surroundings suddenly fell silent.

"Meet the princess!"

Li Lizhi smiled slightly.

"Everyone has worked hard, the grandfather is on the expedition, and he is on the way to triumph, and it is inconvenient for the palace to entertain you, so I will bother the housekeeper to entertain you on behalf of the palace!"

After that, Li Lizhen took Wu Cao and them into the front hall, and Liu Xiaochuan came to the front hall with a few account books.

"Princess Qiyu, this time I went to sea first to the Japanese country, and the shipment was exchanged for gold and silver, and then I got rid of the fleets of the major families and went to the spice island, loaded the spice island and returned with a full load, the small one picked out the best spices and brought a total of twenty cars back to Chang'an, and the rest of the spices were left in Lingnan for sale, but because now the world knows that there are spice islands in the bay, as long as the sea goes to sea, the spices will be continuously pulled back, so the price of this spice is not as good as before, this is the account book of this voyage, and please take a look at the princess!"

After that, Liu Xiaochuan respectfully handed over a few account books, and if there is too much, it will not be worth much, everyone understands this truth, since he has found a spice island overseas, there can be a steady stream of spices every year, and the price of spices will naturally drop.

"I was still a hairy boy at the beginning, after a few years of experience, I have become more and more secure, and when my grandfather comes back, I will definitely reward you heavily, I have been away from home for almost a year, I will go back to rest and reunite with my family!"

Li Lizhi smiled gently, Liu Xiaochuan and they thanked each other together, and then retreated excitedly, the maid held the account book on the table, Li Lizhi picked up the account book and flipped through it, and commanded.

"Chunlan, Yingluo, you take the maid and the maid to place it, the spices will come according to the practice of previous years, and the rest will be made and put into storage!"

Lijiazhuang is lively because of this heavy white stone carriage, and Chang'an City is also very lively, because not only Lijiazhuang's fleet returned to Chang'an with goods, but also the fleets of other families also went to sea and came back, although the fleets of these families did not bring back spices, but they brought back boxes of gold and silver, as well as some local products of the Wa Kingdom, it is also strange to look at it, it is not uncommon for the fleet of Rongfu County Mansion to get rich, after all, the Rongfu County Mansion is a little bit of the ability to turn stone into gold, which no one can compare, But the Maison's fleet also made a fortune when they went to sea, what does this mean? This shows that going to sea is indeed a financial road, the people of Chang'an are excited, eager to remove the door panel as a boat to go to sea, Chang'an City is very lively, but the Jincheng thousands of miles away has fallen into a strange calm, the court is very calm, the news that the princess is pregnant has been spread to everyone, but the court is very calm, there is no objection, even the real bone families in the court have no objections, there is no mention of ancestral etiquette, there is no objection to the princess is pregnant.

"It's unexpectedly so calm, are the major families watching me give birth to a child? They are all eyeing the throne, and they are fighting each other openly and secretly, how can they stop here? ”

Jin Shengman held the dried plum and said suspiciously, after conditioning, her discomfort has been reduced a lot, that is, she has become very sour, as the saying goes, there must be a demon when things go wrong, how can this Jindeman not know? These days, she has been sending people to keep an eye on the movements of several major families, she smiled slightly.

"This is the child of the Duke of Rongfu County, the Duke of Rongfu County is famous, how can they not be afraid? So, don't be careful, and I'm keeping an eye on them! You just need to let the maids cheer up, keep the iron bucket guarded here, and then raise the fetus well, and raise the white and fat, so that the child can be born. ”

The maids around her are all trustworthy people, so Jin Shengman is confident that she can give birth to the child safely, in fact, what she is worried about is the future, because when the child is old enough to run and jump, it is impossible to keep the child in place. As the saying goes, only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days? Thinking of this, Jin Shengman suddenly regretted it.
