Chapter 971 Calculating

Brother Yu went back to the yard, lying on the bed and couldn't fall asleep. Getting up, he said to Yu Zhi who was resting on the chair, "I want to go out for a walk on the street."

Yu Zhi nodded and said: "Yes." As long as Brother Yu doesn't go to dangerous places, he has no objection to going wherever he wants.

When we got to the gate, we happened to meet Xuan Shi who came out. Brother You said to Brother Hua: "Go and ask the concierge, who is this woman?" Xu Chengze and Ashin are too young, if they come along if they have something to do, they will not only be unable to help but also hinder them, so the two of them Did not follow.

When he found out that it was Xiang's natal family, Brother You had a wicked smile on his face: "Let someone go and check on Xiang's family." Something must have happened.

Yu Zhi has been in the palace for so many years, but he still doesn't know Brother Yu's temperament of fearing that the world will be corrupted. Yu Zhi said coldly: "Don't bother with the Han family's housework. If not, I will write to the princess."

"I'm not in the mood to take care of the Han family's affairs, I'm just curious." As for whether this statement is true or not, only he himself knows. But if Yu Zhi didn't investigate, there was nothing he could do.

After playing in Jinling for half a month, Qiyou said with a puzzled face: "Yu Zhi, why did the elder sister and the elder brother get assassinated three times and four times, and it's been a month since I left the house and nothing happened?"

The corner of Hua Ge'er's mouth twitched: "You really hope that the assassin will assassinate you?"

Qiyou laughed and said, "Don't you think this is a very exciting thing?" This was a disguised acknowledgment of Brother Hua's words. If Qiyou was afraid of assassins, he would not have come to Jiangnan.

Yu Zhi said expressionlessly: "It won't be too late to say this when you return to the palace." The reason why those people didn't act was just looking for a suitable opportunity.

Qiyou said cheerfully, "I hope I can get what I want before I go back."

Yu Zhi also had a headache for Brother Yu, a character who was afraid of the world's injustice, but luckily the concubine could restrain him.

Brother Xuan received Brother Yu's letter, and after reading it, he was in a bad mood.

When she was perfect, Yuxi looked at the sleepy Brother Xuan and asked, "You're listless, what's wrong?"

Brother Xuan said in a low voice: "Ah You has played in Jinling for more than half a month, and now he is going to Hangzhou again." If he also goes, he will also be on his way to Hangzhou.

Yuxi put down the silver chopsticks in her hand, and said with a smile: "If you want to go to Jiangnan, you will have opportunities, so don't be depressed."

Brother Xuan asked in great surprise: "Mother, is it true? Can I go to Jiangnan in the future?"

"It's not okay to study behind closed doors. When you reach the age of fifteen, you won't be stopped wherever you want to go." When the child grows up, it's not good to just stay by your side blindly.

Brother Xuan's mood immediately improved.

Zao Zao pouted and asked, "Mother, when will Daddy and Ah Hao come back? It's been almost a month."

Liu'er accepted this and said: "Sister, Dad went to inspect the military camps, and he won't come back within three to five months." Yuxi had said this before, but it was a pity that Zao Zao chose to forget it.

Yu Xi is unwilling to talk nonsense with Zao Zao: "If you are bored, you can copy scriptures."

Zao Zao stopped talking immediately.

After dinner, Yuxi asked Liu'er and Brother Xuan to go out, leaving Zao Zao behind.

Zao Zao thought that Yu Xi was going to scold her again, so she hurriedly said: "Mother, I was wrong." Then Dr. He was really right, she was in good health but said that she still needs to take care of her for a while.

Yuxi shook her head helplessly and said: "The doctor said that you haven't recovered yet, so I dispelled your thoughts." Before the body recovers, Zao Zao can't go anywhere and must stay at home.

Zao Zao nodded hurriedly: "I'm not going anywhere. Mother, I feel that the house is a bit deserted." When Brother Yu and Brother Rui were here, it was bustling every day.

Now that the two of them are gone, the house is much deserted.

Yu Xi didn't feel much, and said: "Your brother and the others are older, and they will often go out in the future." As long as they are not going to fight, Yu Xi is not very worried.

"Growing up is not good at all." This is Zao Zao's sincere words. When he grows up, he will not be as comfortable as when he was a child.

Yuxi smiled and said: "You are here this time because of your marriage. The Wu family said that you and Wu Jinyu are not too young, and they want to set a date for the wedding." Zao Zao is seventeen years old this year , Wu Jinyu is one year older than her, and the marriage should indeed be put on the agenda.

Zao Zao refused without even thinking about it: "Mother, I definitely can't do it next year. Dad will send troops to attack the capital next year, and I will definitely follow." By the time her father sends troops, the wound will definitely heal.

Yuxi shook her head and said: "The national treasury has no money, so I guess we won't be able to fight a war next year." Although the weather is good this year, there are many places where money can be used. Therefore, the plan to send troops to attack the capital may have to be postponed temporarily.

Zaozao widened his eyes and asked, "When will we be able to send troops?" Zaozao's face collapsed when he heard three or five years ago: "Why did it take so long?"

Without money, nothing can be done.

Yuxi said: "I want to set the wedding date in March of the next year, what do you think?" Yuxi is also open-minded, other people's parents directly set the wedding date and then inform their children.

Zao Zao thought for a while and shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it next year!" It's not that he doesn't believe Yu Xi's words, but Zao Zao feels that the world is changing, and maybe her family can make a windfall, and then they can send troops!

Yu Xi nodded and said, "Okay."

The Fang family got the news, and asked Wu Kuo worriedly: "Master, why do you think the princess said she would wait until next year to discuss the marriage. Is there something wrong with the princess's health?" This marriage has been known to the world, but She wasn't worried about retiring, she was worried about Zao Zao's health.

Wu Kuo glanced at Fang, and said, "Jinyu met the princess a few days ago. If there is something wrong with the princess, can Jinyu take care of those flowers and plants with peace of mind?"

Fang said with some concern: "The princess suffered an internal injury, maybe Jin Yu didn't see it!"

Wu Kuo said: "What are you thinking about? The princess is probably reluctant to let the princess want to stay for two more years."

Fang said: "Next year, we will definitely have to wait until the year after next year to get married, when my son will be twenty years old." Other people's families have already become fathers at the age of twenty.

Wu Kuo said: "Can you still make the princess change her mind?" Obviously it is impossible. They have no choice but to accept, and this is the price of marrying a high-ranking daughter-in-law.

Fang was silent for a while and said: "Do you think the princess will move out immediately after she gets married?" The princess also has DúLì's mansion.

When Wu Kuo heard this, his expression was a little ugly: "Do you still want to show your mother-in-law's score in front of the princess?" If so, he will not tolerate it first.

Fang's not so confused, she just couldn't bear to be separated from her son: "Jinyu knows nothing but flowers and plants, and the princess is not a good housekeeper. If they move out in the future , I am worried."

Wu Kuo really didn't think about this question: "After the wedding date is fixed, you can ask the princess to see what the princess means?" It's good that the princess is willing to stay in Wu's house, but they can't if they want to move out. stop.

Fang sighed and said, "That's the only way to go."

Wu Kuo hesitated for a while and said, "I want to take over Nanmeng and Jinbo." Wu Kuo's business began to shrink, and he had less time to stay in Jiangnan, so he wanted to take over Aunt Ji and the two concubines. Pickaxe City is here.

Fang's face darkened, but she quickly nodded and said, "Yes. How about placing them in Xiangliyuan?" Xiangliyuan also has seven or eight rooms, which are very spacious.

"You can arrange these things." Wu Kuo still respects Fang's first wife.

Fang's head tilted on the bed, and he closed his eyes. Although it is said that people are still at ease under their noses, but thinking that Ji's family is not a good stubble, Fang's family is a little irritable.

Mother He came in with a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup, handed it to Fang Shi, and persuaded her to drink it.

How could Fang still have the appetite to eat at this time, Fang said: "Mother He, what do you think about letting the princess live in the mansion?" The director will run the house.

Mother He shook her head and said: "I'm afraid it will not be easy. Ma'am, the princess is not a good friend. If you stay in the mansion, the mansion will definitely be in turmoil." Zao Zao can do whatever he wants, this character is really not good Few people can handle it.

Mrs. Fang rubbed her temples, and said: "When she becomes a mother herself, she will be fine." Mother He saw that Mrs. Fang seemed to have made up her mind to let Zaozao live in Wu's mansion, so she said immediately: "If Madam really wants to live in Dajun The lord stays, so I can only let the second master speak." Fang's mother-in-law is absolutely forbidden to speak, if the princess finds out otherwise, she will think she wants to manipulate the princess!

"Naturally." She was not stupid, and she could say that she wanted the princess to live in the mansion.

Mother He lowered her voice and said, "If the princess stays in the mansion, I don't know if grandma will think too much about it?"

After sighing, Mrs. Fang said: "If I had known, I shouldn't have asked her to marry her for Jin Bao." Mrs. Fang was dissatisfied with Wu Jinyu who donated so much money to her family, but now she knew about Wu Kuo and his wife. After the two wanted to share the property with Wu Jinyu, they broke out and came to Fang for an explanation.

Compared with the son, the niece is naturally separated by a layer. After this incident, Xiao Fang separated from Fang. From time to time, Xiao Fang said in Jin Bao's ear that Wu Kuo and his wife were eccentric, and after a long time, Jin Bao Fang's and Wu Kuo also had opinions.

Mama He said: "My wife still needs to relax. The big niǎinǎi just didn't figure it out for a while, and it will be fine when she figured it out." Money is hard to buy, I knew it earlier, who would have known that Xiao Fang was staring at his own three-acre Earth, no foresight.

Fang Shi smiled wryly and said: "When Ji Shi comes over, don't expect to have a peaceful life." The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will be even worse.

Fang wanted Zaozao to live in Wu's mansion, and also hoped that Zaozao and Wu Jinyu would stand by her side in the future. In this way, Wu Kuo has some taboos and does not dare to protect the Ji family. In this way, it will be much easier for her to deal with Ji Shi.

Zao Zao probably didn't expect that she would be tricked before she got married.

That night, when Yun Qing was talking to Qi Hao in the room, he saw Liu Yongnan outside and said: "My lord, my son, Ye Jiulang and Song Wei are back."

Yun Qing stayed in Linzhou City for so long just to wait for Song Wei and Ye Jiulang, otherwise he would have diverted to Linzhou long ago.

As soon as Ye Jiulang and Song Wei entered the room, they immediately knelt on the ground when they saw Yun Qing.

Yun Qing personally walked over and helped Ye Jiulang up: "You have suffered."

Ye Jiulang's eyes turned red when he heard this. A man doesn't flick his tears easily, but he doesn't reach the sad point. Except for Song Wei, among the twenty people who followed him out, only two came back this time. Everyone else is dead.

Yun Qing said: "Don't worry, I will take good care of their family."

Ye Jiulang believed Yun Qing's words: "My lord, I want to go home." Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to gain a career, but after experiencing the cruelty of the war, he no longer wanted to fight. Now, he just wants to guard his family and live a peaceful life.

Yun Qing nodded and said: "Yes. You go to rest first, and then someone will send you to reunite with your family."

Hearing the word reunion, Ye Jiulang couldn't hold back the tears anymore. Before Lin Xun died, he still missed his parents, wife and children.

After Ye Jiulang was taken down, Yunqing asked Song Wei: "I heard that Xue Tianlei defected before the battle, and Jinzhou fell?" Dingzhou fell, and he and Ye Jiulang retreated to Jinzhou.

Song Wei nodded and said: "Xue Tianlei defected to the imperial court." After Xue Tianlei defected to the court, Song Wei had contact with him several times and found that this person was opportunistic and evil-minded, so he immediately suggested to Ye Jiulang to get rid of him. Unfortunately, Ye Jiulang did not listen to him. But Song Wei didn't say anything about it.

Jinju has already fallen, and it is meaningless to say more. Yun Qing asked: "Are you staying in Linzhou, or going back to Xihai?" Song Wei stayed in Xihai before.

Song Wei is used to seeing blood. Before going to Jinzhou, he participated in more than 30 wars, large and small, and saw many dead people. Therefore, although the battle in Jinzhou was tragic, it did not leave a shadow on him.

Without even thinking about it, Song Wei said, "I want to stay in Linzhou." Only by staying here can I have a chance to make meritorious deeds.

Yun Qing nodded: "Go back to Xihai first, and I will transfer you to Linzhou after a while." This is also to deceive people.

Song Wei took out the map he had drawn from his pocket, handed it to Yun Qing and said, "My lord, this is the topographic map I drew of Handan from Dingzhou Road."

Qihao spread out the map, and after reading it, he said, "Father, this map is very complete. With this map, we can get twice the result with half the effort if we send troops to Hebei." Hills, flat land and other terrain and features are clearly marked.

Yun Qing nodded.

Brother Hao thought for a while and asked: "Father, can we send troops to Hebei next year? As far as I know, the treasury is already empty." The battle last year cost a lot.

Yun Qing shook his head and said, "It may take another two years."

At this time, Lu Bai brought up the supper. Supper is relatively simple, just a pot of buns and two side dishes.

Seeing this, Brother Hao hurriedly said: "Father, I'm not hungry, you can eat!" He eats buns every day, and they are still meat buns, and the craftsmanship is not good. Qihao persisted for five days and couldn't eat anymore.

Yun Qing took a meat bun, and said while eating: "Now the conditions are better, and I couldn't even eat meat buns before!"

Liu Yongnan smiled at the side and said, "Don't talk about meat buns, it's pretty good if you can eat enough." Compared with the current day, it was really soaked in yellow lotus before. (to be continued)
