Bianliang City.

It's the New Year, every household lights up firecrackers, and the sound of firecrackers is one after another, and the air is filled with the smell of gunsmoke.

In this era, there is no ban on whipping, and there is no environmental protection theory called brick family, and the New Year is still very lively at this time.

The streets and alleys are full of children running and playing, and they can release their childlike energy to the fullest, and from time to time you can hear their giggles coming from their mouths.

Palace.

The New Year is here, and there are lights everywhere, and red lanterns are hung high, which is a happy and peaceful appearance.

The official family gave a banquet, and the Daqing Palace, which was rarely used, was already newly arranged, and the hall was full of tables and chairs for the use of the ministers.

Plates of delicacies were brought up by the newly dressed palace ladies and filled the table.

The courtiers had a smile on their faces, and from time to time they would raise their glasses because of Zhao Zhen's words, followed by the sound of drinking together in the hall.

The past 1044 was a year of peace, a year of development, a year of stability, and a year full of hope for the Great Song Dynasty.

Inside, the implementation of the Qingli New Deal began, although it also encountered some resistance, in general, it was quite smooth. Of course, the most important thing is to see this year, which will soon be targeted at some of the vested interests, and the result will soon be known.

As long as spring ploughing begins, the Juntian method can effectively help the people, so that more people can get the fields, can cultivate by themselves, and wait until the autumn harvest time, that is, the harvest time of the Great Song Dynasty.

Externally, after fighting a few battles with Xixia in succession, it seems that the other party is tired and has become a lot more honest this year.

Not to mention the Liao country, Su Shi's toss, they now even have their ability to defend by more than thirty percent, let alone think about attacking. The city of Changping was burned, and only the various military baggage lost in it could be restored in a year and a half.

Without foreign affairs, foreign wars, and foreign enemies, these magnates of the Great Song Dynasty can stay in Bianliang City with peace of mind, sing songs every day, and enjoy all kinds of benefits brought to them by the peaceful years.

There is no major event in the country, the foundation is stable, whether it is the official Zhao Zhen or the courtiers below, all of them are full of spring breeze. If there is anything that makes people feel a little lacking, it is that there are no Rencha and burnt knives to drink, and no cigarettes to smoke.

Just half a year after Su Shi left Bianliang City, the goods in the hands of the Li family, the Miao family, the Cao family, and the Pang family were sold out.

By the time Su Shi left for ten months, there was no stock in Bianliang City, even if you wanted to buy it at a high price, it would be a market with no price.

Even if Zhao Zhen still has some kernel tea in his hand, the amount is not very sufficient, except for him to drink it himself, there is no goods for him to reward others.

There is no goods in the hands of the officials, so you can imagine what other powerful people are like. If you haven't tasted these sweetness before, it's fine, but only if you have tasted it, you will know what is the true meaning of from luxury to thrift, from thrift to luxury.

No one thought that Su Shizhen would do what he said before, but he just thought that he couldn't swallow that breath and joke.

I want to come and go out for two or three months, and when I have walked around enough, I should come back. Who would have thought that he would really let him go to Liaodi and make such a big move.

Su Shi won glory for the country and contributed to the country, no one dared to accuse him in front of the officials and civil and military officials of the imperial court, and even if he needed the goods and wanted him back, no one dared to say it. Fortunately, the secret spy department still has some ability and contacted Su Shi. The official family also showed in front of the ministers that Su Shi had done a lot and could come back, and he was even promoted to the fourth level in a row, from the sixth grade to the fourth grade of the Shaofu.

At that time, everyone was thinking that Su Shi should come back, so if he was in time, maybe the new goods might be in place during the New Year, and everyone could taste Ren tea, drink burning knives, and smoke cigarettes.

Where did you think that the Liao State was really angry, and even sent heavy troops to blockade it, and then Su Shaofu disappeared, and it was not until recently that news came that the Su family army actually went to Mengdi. When I think of the cold winter there, some people can't help but worry, under such cold conditions, without any logistical supplies, what will the army eat and drink, can it survive?

There are people who are worried, but they are not really worried about Su Shi. Speaking of which, he hasn't been in Bianliang City for even a year, and he hasn't met many people, and there is no second person who really has personal feelings except for Bao Heizi. Then how can anyone worry about his safety, everyone is worried about the safety of the Su family.

This army has entered Liaodi and done so many great things, if it can return safely, it will be of great benefit to the improvement of national morale. On the contrary, if they can't come back from nowhere, the Chinese people will not care what kind of environment they have to face, and will only think that the Su family army was destroyed by the Liao, which will be a strong blow to the morale of the entire Great Song Dynasty.

Whether you are really worried or not, Su Shi is thousands of miles away in Mongolia, and everyone can't help it, and if you can't do anything, all you can do is to have an expectation in your heart, hoping that Su Jiajun can create a miracle.

The officials and ministers, including the prince Zhao Xi, are celebrating the New Year in the Daqing Palace. In the depths of the palace, in a courtyard belonging to Yanfu Palace, a beautiful-looking but plainly dressed woman was staring at the bright red blood stains on her handkerchief in a daze.

"Niangniang, you can't go on like this, we have to tell the official family about coughing up blood, and tell His Royal Highness King Jing." The maid Ruan Ping said with tears in her eyes.

It was Zhu Guifei who was called the mother, and she was also the biological mother of Zhao Xi, the king of Jing.

The appearance of Su Shi changed Zhao Xi and did not let him die at the age of three in history. Zhu Guifei is also a mother and a son, not only won the title of concubine, but with the help of her parent-child Zhao Xi, her living conditions are much better than before.

Zhao Xi cooperated with Su Shi to do business and made a lot of money, and naturally subsidized her biological mother a lot of money, and now Zhu Guifei can be said to have no shortage of food or drink, and her life is very comfortable. If one day Zhao Xi can ascend to the throne and become the new emperor, then her identity will be infinitely elevated, until it is normal to become the master of the harem.

Seeing that the beautiful days were just around the corner, where did she think that there were unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and Zhu Guifei's body was in a condition.

At first, my body was a little weak, and I found a doctor to prescribe a lot of prescriptions, but the more I ate, the weaker my body became, and until now I have begun to cough up blood.

Ruan Ping, as the maid beside Concubine Zhu, is also the most trusted person, and strongly advocates telling the prince Zhao Xi about the matter. It's just a pity that Zhu Guifei, who loves her son, still refused.

Looking at Ruan Ping, who was crying in front of her, Zhu Guifei forced out a smile and said, "Ping'er, life and death are life and wealth, and Brother Xi can't cure diseases, what's the use of looking for him?" Let's go to Dr. Xuan Tai to continue the diagnosis and treatment. ”

Zhu Guifei was worried that her own affairs would affect Zhao Xi's studies. She had heard that her son was very smart, and that the gentlemen had praised him more than once, and that the officials were very satisfied with it. If it is because of his own reasons, Zhao Xi is distracted and affects his studies, then it is an unforgivable sin.

All along, Zhao Zhen didn't like himself very much, which Zhu Guifei knew in her heart. If Zhao Xi was really distracted by her own body and caused the displeasure of the official family, that result was definitely not what she, as a mother, wanted to see.

Or to say, only mothers are good in the world, and the greatness of mother's love is vividly expressed at this moment.

"Okay, don't worry, Niangniang, I'll go to the imperial doctor now, Niangniang will be fine." Ruan Ping wiped away her tears and nodded incessantly.

"Go ahead. But remember, my illness must not be known to Brother Xi, if it is really said by your mouth, even if I die, I will not forgive you. Zhu Guifei, who was originally kind-hearted, had a serious face when she said this, obviously she was very serious when she said these words.

"The slave knows." Ruan Ping didn't dare to talk too much about such a big thing, so she could only agree.

......

Hutou Mountain, on the wooden bed in Lu Siqiao's room, Feng Chunxue was sleeping on it with a pale face.

Qiao Yunyi's right hand moved away from his pulse, and his face was a little dark.

"Master, how is Xue'er?" Lu Siqiao asked nervously on the side. After discovering that Feng Chunxue was injured, she quickly picked her up and took her to the master's courtyard. Now three days have passed, and Feng Chunxue has not woken up.

"The injury is not serious, but the wound is starting to infect, although it is temporarily controlled with the medicine you took. But the wound is too big, and it can't be healed by itself, and I can't think of a better way for a while. Qiao Yunyi's face was serious, and when he answered this question, his tone was heavy.

Speaking of which, although Feng Chunxue is not his apprentice, he is like his apprentice, but he has no name. For this girl who follows her apprentice Lu Siqiao every day, Qiao Yunyi also likes it from the bottom of her heart.

He also wants to save people if he can. It's just that the trauma is too severe, the wound is too big, and it can't heal on its own. If it weren't for the amoxicillin given by Su Shi in Lu Siqiao's hand, the miracle medicine for treating infections, I'm afraid Feng Chunxue wouldn't have been able to persist until now.

But even so, this medicine can only ensure that the wound is not infected temporarily, as long as the wound does not grow for a day, it will be life-threatening at any time.

Qiao Yunyi claimed that there was no way, and hearing Lu Siqiao's ears made her look more and more determined. "Master, that's the case, I'll take Xue'er out of the mountain, and I'm going to find someone who can heal her."

"The one who heals? Who is it? Qiao Yunyi could hear the firmness in his apprentice's tone, and even confidence.

Some people died, but not completely......
