Chapter 217: The Storm is Coming

Shi Jin was a little dumbfounded.

I saw that there was a circle of aunts in the side courtyard that looked like a small patio.

Most of the aunts stood under the porch, and the thick layer of snow in the courtyard was littered with footprints and marks of beatings.

It was in this snow-white mess that two Qiang men were wrestling shirtless.

It was so cold that the weather was so cold, but they were sweating on their bodies, and they were very handsome under the light of the sky.

After Shi Jin realized what he had seen, he suddenly turned around, not daring to look at the scene in the courtyard.

Yue's family saw Shi Jin running in a hurry in a group of people, and whispered a word to the people around him, and then left with him.

Shi Jin's heart was pounding, and he sighed in his heart that the woman in Luocheng was really strong.

If the second master was here, I am afraid that he would have covered her eyes a long time ago and refused to let her look at half of it.

When the mood calmed down a bit, I heard Yue's laughter behind me, "What is my sister running?!" ”

Shi Jin turned his head, his face had already returned to normal, "There are too many people, it's a little stuffy." ”

Yue's family didn't expose her, only took her hand back to the main room, "These slaves were sent by the one who sent them back to your house last time, and they were vague, and they almost made the old man half angry." Fortunately, the one in your family is quite reliable, and he said that he was sent to work as a coolie, which can be regarded as revealing the past. ”

"Why did that sister-in-law ......" Shi Jin blinked, wondering how this coolie started wrestling.

"It's hard to put it into words." Shi Jin rarely saw such a look from Yue's face, and couldn't help but be a little curious.

Helplessly, Yue didn't want to say half a word.

Can she say that since the aunts in the courtyard learned that she had a penchant for keeping slaves, these aunts didn't even have much interest in playing horse hanging?!

One by one, every day, there were always groups of people who had to go to see the three Qiangrong people, which made her tremble like walking on thin ice, for fear that which aunt would have a spring heart and would not stay in Kefu to retire well.

No, taking advantage of the fact that Master Ke was not at home, she simply asked her aunts to see enough at one time, and she was worried about which one to save.

After leading Shi Jin to sit down in the house where the earth dragon was burned, the Yue family asked someone to invite Ke Susu.

Taking advantage of the fact that his daughter did not come, Yue's picked up Luo Cheng's recent fresh and interesting things to talk to Shi Jin.

Shi Jin listened and secretly remembered it in his heart. However, after only half a cup of tea, Ke Susu, who was dressed in a light pearl-colored brocade robe with rabbit fur, entered the door.

According to the seniority, Ke Susu should call Shi Jin a sentence "Auntie." ”

Shi Jin accepted her salute, and asked Shuangxi to hold a bracelet with her.

She smiled at the corner of her lips, "Your aunt doesn't have any good things here, only this bracelet can still be held, and she can wear it and play with it." ”

Ke Susu's eyes under the bangs are gentle and amiable, and he is obviously a temperless. She also smiled gently and gently, "Where is my aunt, the elders can't give it away, and Su'er likes it very much." ”

The two are of the same age, although they are separated by generations, they have a lot to talk about. And because Yang Yunzhou and Qi Mojing were both in the garrison camp, there were more topics.

After only a while, the two felt a little late when they saw each other.

From embroidery to the books I love to read, from rouge gouache to the new materials for making clothes, I can't talk about everything.

Seeing that these two were talking happily, Yue's heart was also overjoyed, and he followed these two people to talk freely.

When she got out of the door, the grandmother beside Yue's side smiled and said, "I didn't think about it, but this aunt and nephew hit it off at first sight." ”

Yue Shi also laughed, and then sighed again, "Su'er looks at Wen Dun amiable, and he is really a strong one." In the past three years, although her husband and wife have been harmonious, she has some difficulties in terms of heirs. Although it is not obvious on the face, I, as a mother, know that she is bitter in her heart. Anyway, having someone who can talk to me with you is more useful than my mother. ”

When she said this, she was quite emotional, but she scattered some of the majesty that she was accustomed to hanging on her face.

The snow stopped and fell intermittently for three or five days. Shi Jin also stayed in Kefu with peace of mind, and he was accompanied by Ke Susu.

.

On the other end of the palace, Zhang Dameng was staying with Wenren Xinchuan.

Both of them had some joyful smiles on their faces, because the money paid to the Great Zhou royal family at this age was extraordinarily rich, and the ordnance, grain and grass also entered Luocheng like water.

"The defenders of the border city have been transferred to transport grain, grass and ordnance, we keep some of them, and most of the rest are resold to the Durle royal court of Qiangrong, is it still suitable for the prince?" Zhang Dameng was so happy that he handed over the list of materials to the prince, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Transporting grain and grass is a fat gap, and any deduction is much more generous than one's own military salary.

"Selling is to be sold, but they still need to hang their appetite, otherwise these people don't know the land in the northwest, who should have the final say!" There was some light in his eyes, and it was obvious that he had played extremely well.

At present, Qiangrong is divided into eight royal courts, of which five royal courts are friendly with Daye and have a close relationship, and three royal courts are strong people, surviving by plundering other royal courts and harassing Daye's borders. Among the three royal courts, the royal court of Durle was the most severe.

The general Li Yanguang was placed in the northwest, one to contain the Wenren Xinchuan, and the other to resist Qiangrong and the Great Zhou.

With Li Yanguang's move, when he heard that Xinchuan was in his throat, he couldn't sleep and eat. Therefore, what he needs to do is to pay the ordnance, food and grass to Durle, and provoke the war between Durle and Daye. In this way, Li Yanguang is too busy to take care of himself, and he will not pay much attention to his side.

His eyes narrowed, and there was a little coldness in his voice, "Durle is a hungry wolf, if this king gives too much, they will fight this king's idea, why don't you grind more, and let them find trouble with Li Yanguang by the way, wouldn't it be better?" ”

Hearing that Ren Xinchuan said this, Zhang Dameng also bent down, and couldn't help mentioning another matter, "What the prince said is very true." It's just that the prince still remembers Deng Xian, the old general? Emperor Tianyuan sent him to the northwest, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the prince! ”

"Where is it against the king?" Hearing this, Xinchuan twisted his beard and smiled meaningfully, "The old emperor is suspicious of Li Yanguang. Let's not meddle in this matter for now, this king's favorite thing is to watch the fire from the other side. ”

His words made Zhang Dameng's mood also relaxed, "Last time, the prince asked his subordinates to pay more attention to Qi Chengde's whereabouts, and his subordinates have been sending people to keep an eye on them. It's just that this Qi Cheng has never been to any other place except for training recruits and occasionally going in and out of the gambling house with Yan Yong. And I heard Yan Yong say that this person is very afraid of guilt, but he has never been contaminated with love debts. ”

"Don't take it lightly." When Xinchuan heard Zhang Dameng say this, he still had hesitation in his heart. He pondered for a moment, and then explained, "This time you make a deal with Durle, you take him with you, and if he makes any changes, you can punish him on the spot." ”

"Yes, Lord Mingjian." Zhang Dameng showed a mouthful of white teeth and replied with a smile.
