Chapter 774: Hot Summer
It's getting hotter.
The summer temperature in the capital rises, and the body feels hotter than in Shenshu Village.
Mrs. Bai said that the reason why there are fewer plants and trees in the capital than in Shenshu Village, after all, Shenshu Village is located in a mountainous area, and in summer the grass and trees are lush and the stream is murmuring.
What Mrs. Bai didn't know was that this year's summer in the capital was hotter than usual.
Large families in the capital store ice every year for use in the summer.
The Bai family has only arrived in the capital for less than a year, and there is no ice at home.
Bai Sanzhuang, who came to the capital in advance, did not think of storing ice in winter due to his lack of experience, and now that it is hot, he can't buy it with a lot of silver.
Fortunately, the Marquis of Zhongjing's Mansion and the people who were friends with the Zhen family in the capital gave the Bai family a friendly sponsorship.
The Queen Mother was worried that Mrs. Bai and Xiao Fuyuan would not be able to bear the heat, so she also sent someone to send enough ice cubes.
Rao is like this, when the sun rises, it is still very hot, and Xiao Fuyuan can't wait to sleep with ice cubes.
Of course, Zhen and Mrs. Bai definitely disagreed.
Originally, the queen mother and the queen wanted Xiao Fuyuan to go to the palace for the summer, after all, there are various ways to escape the heat in the palace, which is much more comfortable than the Bai family.
But Xiao Fuyuan refused, firstly, she wanted to study with Su Yu, and secondly, she didn't want to be separated from her family.
Xiao Fuyuan was woken up by the heat early in the morning.
There are two red marks on the face, just like the snow-white glutinous rice dumplings stained with rouge.
Honghua brought the cold mung bean soup, and Xiao Fuyuan drank it all in one gulp.
This is her daily habit after the weather gets hot, and she must drink a bowl of ice mung bean soup when she wakes up, otherwise the whole person will heat up.
Qingcao brought the ice cube and put it next to the bed, then raised the fan and fanned it, and the cool air on the ice cube was sent to Xiao Fuyuan along the convective air, and Xiao Fuyuan breathed in the cool breeze.
I feel refreshed.
Qiu Niang came up to help Xiao Fuyuan get dressed.
A beautiful dress in his hand.
"Sew according to what you drew to see if it fits?"
Qiu Niang shook the skirt in her hand.
The Mickey Mouse on the goose-yellow trimmed skirt was vivid, and Xiao Fuyuan smiled when she saw it, this is the Mickey Mouse skirt she wanted.
Qiu Niang sighed, Xiao Fuyuan has a lot of ideas, and I am afraid that such a skirt will not be worn by the second person in the entire capital.
"Sister Qiu's hands are so skillful." Xiao Fuyuan praised it.
Then she stood up and put on her skirt, walked to the ground and put on her little leather shoes, and made a few laps in front of the mirror, and the Mickey Mouse on the skirt seemed to come alive as she turned.
Her small leather shoes were also painted by herself, and there was no shoemaker in the city who could make small leather shoes, and it was the queen mother who ordered the imperial shoemaker of the palace to nail them out for her.
Honghua and Qingcao's eyes were straight when they looked at it from the side, not to mention, the county lord really looked good dressed like this, just like a little fairy.
"Sister Qiu, we'll go out of the city to greet Fifth Brother in a while."
Qiu Niang's hand combing Xiao Fuyuan's hair paused.
Today, the Bai family is happy from top to bottom, because today the fifth child of the Bai family will enter Beijing.
Not only the Bai family, but also the people of the entire capital will be dispatched, because in addition to accepting rewards from the Northwest Army when they enter Beijing this time, the most important thing is to offer prisoners.
As early as ten days ago, the people in the whole capital were discussing the might of the Northwest Army and the defeat of the Rong State.
Rong Guo has been like a knife hanging on the head of Xia Guo for more than ten years, and now this knife has finally been bent, how can this not make the people of the whole dynasty excited.
was able to see with his own eyes that the invincible Rong *** was escorted into Beijing as a prisoner, and there was also the once terrifying commander of the Rong State, the third prince Helian Liang, and everyone in the capital was proud and honored for the Northwest Army.
And the fifth child of the Bai family was the main force escorting Helian Liang into Beijing at this time.
The opposite of the boiling and warm atmosphere in the whole capital is Qiu Niang, because her brother is a prisoner and a prisoner.
"Sister Qiu, will you hate my fifth brother?" Xiao Fu Yuan: Yes
Asked in the mirror.
Qiu Niang shook her head.
She doesn't hate anyone.
"My fourth brother will arrange for you to meet your brother." Xiao Fuyuan said.
The fourth elder of the Bai family welcomed the envoys who presented the prisoners this time, and undertook to read out the edicts of the Northwest Army's rewards and the disposal of the prisoners.
Qiu Niang didn't speak, and carefully pulled Xiao Fuyuan's hair.
According to Xiao Fuyuan's requirements, there were no jewelry on his head, only a bow pinned, which echoed Mickey Mouse on the skirt.
"Sister Qiu, you should still hold this seal."
Xiao Fuyuan handed the seal to Qiu Niang.
Qiu Niang and Helian Liang have been separated for so many years, and their faces are definitely not what they were when they were children, and the seal is a token of their recognition.
Qiu Niang took the seal and squeezed it tightly into her hand.
In fact, these days, she was summoned into the palace by the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother's meaning is the same as what Xiao Fuyuan mentioned, hoping that she will return to Rong and support Helian Liang's son to succeed to the throne.
Bai Panmei gave her an analysis that her nephew's succession to the throne is the best plan for the two countries.
What she didn't know was that the imperial court had already sent someone to secretly pick up her nephew into Beijing.
"County Lord, did you sleep well last night? Breakfast is ready."
I wish my mother a spring breeze to lead Xiao Fuyuan to breakfast.
"Sleep fine." Xiao Fuyuan said.
"County Lord, I heard that the fifth young master of our family is extremely powerful, and he can move hundreds of catties of boulders at a young age?"
The Bai family has been immersed in the joy of Bai Zhaomei's entry into Beijing these days, and I wish my mother a lot of old news about Bai Zhaomei from Da Lang and others, but she has not seen it yet
I was too white to recruit my sister, so I was curious.
"Yes, indeed." Xiao Fuyuan nodded, "My fifth brother also killed the female worm."
"Huo, that's amazing." Mother Zhu exclaimed again and again, and she was even more curious about this fifth young master who became a deputy general at a young age.
"Early in the morning, the porter Lao Zhang went to the street, saying that the street was full of people, all waiting to see the prisoners. If you want me to say, those Rong people should be beheaded and hung at the gates of the city, who let them do evil on the border."
I wish my mother to tell her hatred for the Rong people.
Qiu Niang, who was walking behind Xiao Fuyuan, clenched her hands.
"Grandma, Daddy, Mother."
Xiao Fuyuan came to the dining table and greeted him delicately.
"Hurry up and eat, eat well, let's go meet your fifth brother."
The wrinkles on the happy face of the old lady Bai were stretched, and her whole body was renewed, and she rarely inserted a golden hairpin on her head.
Not only the old lady white, but the whole family changed into new clothes, with happiness on their faces.
Since Lao Wu went to the northwest border, except for Bai Dazhuang and Bai Erzhuang, no one else has seen Lao Wu again, and they can't imagine what Lao Wu is like in military uniform.
Everyone wanted to hurry to the city gate to see what was going on.
Although today's meeting may be just a quick glimpse, it can't stop the Bai family's eagerness to see Lao Wu.
Xiao Fuyuan hurriedly finished eating, and was was
