Chapter 172 Imperial Envoy (6)

Tan Tuo's letter arrived in Yucheng one step ahead of Cao De's people.

After Yu Xi read the letter, she thought about it for a long time in the study, and she didn't come out of the study until Zao Zao was crying outside. Holding Zao Zao in her arms from Mother Lan, she said with a smile: "How long has this girl been eating, is she hungry again?"

Mother Lan said with a smile: "Girl eats a lot, and grows fast." Zao Zao really looks good, with a round face, white and tender arms with lotus joints, wearing bright red clothes, just like the fat girl in the New Year picture. The dolls are exactly the same. He also likes to laugh, and anyone who sees him likes it.

Yu Xi fed Zao Zao, and said: "I want to wean her at the end of the year, what do you think, Mama Lan?" By the end of the year, it will be seven months, and it is almost time to wean her.

Mother Lan knew Yuxi's meaning, she shook her head and said, "Generally, if a child eats milk, it takes at least ten months, and some children even eat it until they are two years old!" Mother fed.

Yuxi was silent for a while, and said: "Then wait until March next year before weaning!" It's been enough for ten months, no more.

Mother Lan said: "Madam, the eldest girl has a good appetite. I plan to start preparing some complementary food for her in the next two days." Generally, it is better for children to eat complementary food at six months old, but jujube grows well, and five-month-old children It is as big as seven or eight months in other people's homes.

Yuxi has always listened to Mother Lan when it comes to raising children, and she is also experienced and experienced, so she nodded and agreed immediately: "This Mother Lan is up to you." It is also Mother Lan who will take care of the children, otherwise how could Zao Zao grow so much? so good.

Mother Lan watched as Yuxi was about to walk to the vegetable garden next door, and said, "Ma'am, it's windy now, and it was easy to catch cold when the cold wind blows in the past."

Yuxi said: "It's okay, I'm wearing thick clothes." She felt a little anxious in her heart, and was about to blow some air to clear her mind.

Mother Lan looked at Zao Zao, who was squinting in her arms, and called Mother Xi: "Ma'am, let me take you for a walk in the yard!"

Yuxi was a little surprised, but still nodded and said: "Okay."

Mother Lan put the dates in the care of Mother Xi, and accompanied Yuxi to the vegetable garden. There are still a lot of vegetables in the vegetable garden at this time, and all these vegetables will have to be collected in half a month.

A gust of wind blew, and the leaves on the trees fluttered to the ground, covering the ground with a layer of golden color. The cool air and the golden leaves form a unique scene.

Yuxi walked slowly along the gravel road, her brows were always furrowed, and she walked around the garden twice before her frown was loosened.

Seeing this, Mother Lan, who had been silent all this time, asked, "Ma'am, have you figured it out?" Seeing Madam's worried look just now, she knew something was up again.

Seeing Yuxi nodding her head, Mother Lan said: "Madam, the old lady is far away from you, and many things cannot be taken care of, so the old slave Chao Yue wanted to say a few more words to the lady, and hoped that the lady would not be annoyed." In fact, she had already held back these words. In my heart, I just kept holding back and didn't say anything. Today, Yuxi actually wants to wean Zaozao in advance because of the matter at hand, and Mother Lan has to say it now.

Yuxi knew that Mother Lan had something to tell her, otherwise she would not have offered to come with her. Immediately said: "Mother has something to say, just say it." Sometimes Lan's mother's words are not pleasant, but she is really good for her and the child.

Mother Lan said: "Ma'am, the most important thing for this woman is the child, followed by the husband, and finally the outside affairs. After taking care of the house, it is a good thing to have the energy to deal with the outside affairs, but you can't put the priority on the other side." Points! Also, ma'am, this daughter-in-law shouldn't be too forceful. If she behaves better than a man, there will be problems one day." Lan's mother said this from the bottom of her heart.

Yu Xi paused in her heart. When the husband and wife were discussing things, no outsiders were present.

How did Mama Lan see it? After thinking about it, Yu Xi asked with a smile: "How did my mother see that I often give advice to the general?"

Mother Lan didn't shy away from it, and said: "After discussing the matter with the general, the general left a few times." With such an obvious phenomenon, if she still can't guess that the madam intervenes in the general's affairs, then she has lived for more than 40 years in vain. years.

Yuxi snorted, and said: "What does mom think I should do??" Yuxi was not disgusted with Mama Lan's words, and only those who really cared about you would say these unpleasant words. And what Mother Lan said made sense.

Mother Lan does not object to Yuxi meddling in outside affairs. On the one hand, a woman can meddle in men's affairs, which proves that she has this ability, and on the other hand, she can also gain more right to speak, but this degree must be grasped well: "Madam can help the general naturally It's a good thing, but it's just a good thing. If the general thinks you are better than him, it will be bad for Madam in the long run. Madam, to put it bluntly, no man can bear his wife being better than him." Mother Lan has a lot of experience , with rich experience, at least until now, she has never seen a woman stronger than her husband, and the husband and wife can love each other.

Yuxi was thoughtful, looked up at Mama Lan after a while, and said sincerely: "Thank you Mama Lan, I will pay attention to it in the future."

Xu Wu hurried over, saw Yuxi, and said anxiously: "Madam, the imperial envoy sent someone to summon the general to Xinping City for questioning."

Yu Xi said calmly: "I know." Tan Tuo had already mentioned this matter in the letter just now, so Yu Xi was not surprised.

Xu Wu quickly realized how Ying Yuxi knew about it, and said immediately: "Madam, what is the purpose of this imperial envoy? Why did you summon the general to Xinping City?"

Yu Xi smiled, and said: "Who is your general? Does anyone say that he is going to be summoned, and he will go to see him." The majestic second-rank general, if anyone summons him, he will face him where to put it. Yun Qing is straightforward, but not stupid. However, Yuxi does not think that Cao De is proud and complacent and does not take Yun Qing seriously. From Tan Tuo's words, it is not difficult to see that Cao De is a very cunning and scheming person. How can he not know that Yun Qing will not Go to Xinping City. Therefore, this Cao De must have other plans.

Xu Wu reacted quickly, but he was worried that Yunqing would go to Xinping City, so he asked, "Ma'am, what if the general really goes to Xinping City?"

Yu Xi smiled, and said: "The general won't go." Yun Qing didn't need to make excuses if he didn't go to Xinping City, he just said that he was busy with military affairs and couldn't leave.

As Yuxi said, Yunqing didn't go to Xinping City, but he didn't want to offend the prince, so he didn't want to sweep the face of the imperial envoy, so he sent Feng Dajun to Xinping City immediately. Anyway, Feng Dajun also participated in the copying of Xu's family. It is also reasonable to let Feng Dajun go.

When he came back at night, Yunqing told Yuxi about this matter: "Yuxi, what does this Cao De want to do?" Cao De is an idiot, otherwise why would he have sent someone to summon him, a great general, for questioning.

Yuxi thought for a while and said, "What does Mr. Xia say about this matter?"

Yun Qing said: "Mr. Xia said that it is impossible for the crown prince to send a stupid person to investigate this case. We need to be more vigilant." He also felt that this matter was just the beginning.

Yuxi whispered into Yunqing's ear.

Yun Qing doesn't quite agree with Yu Xi's suggestion, since moving things around is too much now, and it's easy to be noticed by interested people: "That place is very secret, it won't be found out." Only Mr. Xia and him know that place, Unless the imperial envoy can pinch and count, he will never know where Dong Xī Zàng is.

Yuxi smiled, and said: "There is nothing absolute. He Rui, the imperial envoy will arrive in Yucheng soon, and the time left for us is not long."

Yunqing still hesitated.

Yuxi is not angry either, this matter is not a trivial matter after all, and the consequences of being careless are very serious, Yunqing will hesitate and try it. Yu Xi thought for a while and said, "Why don't you go with me to see Uncle Huo and ask Uncle Huo's opinion." Yunqing trusts Huo Changqing the most, as long as Huo Changqing is on her side, Yunqing will definitely agree.

After hearing this, Huo Changqing asked Yu Xi: "Do you think it's not safe to put these things in the secret road?" If Yu Xi thought it was safe, he would not suggest transferring them. After all, it would be too risky to transfer things now.

Yuxi nodded and said: "Yes, I think it is very dangerous not to transfer those gold and silver. Tan Tuo is very cautious, not a person who speaks nonsense, and he must be right when he said that Cao De is a very cunning person. Therefore, We have to prepare for the worst.”

Huo Changqing pondered for a moment, then said to Yunqing: "Listen to your wife and transfer the things. Let Xu Wu and Zijin do this, don't let other people get involved."

Seeing that Huo Changqing also agreed with Yu Xi's words, Yun Qing nodded in agreement.

Although Feng Dajun got Yunqing's order to go to Xinping City to describe the process of ransacking the house, but he was very upset, so he was not in a hurry. Walking slowly, his entourage became anxious.

Erdan couldn't help it anymore, and asked, "Sir, at our speed, it will take at least five days to reach Xinping City!"

Feng Dajun scolded: "I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?" How dare you summon their general, what the hell?

Ermao touched his head, and said with a smile, "I'm not afraid of delaying the matter, and I will be scolded by the general when I go back?" He is not afraid of offending the imperial envoy, but he is afraid that the time to return to Yucheng is too late, and the general will be held accountable. . Yun Qing's prestige in the army is very high, and the new recruits are even more in awe of him.

Feng Dajun said: "Don't worry about it, just ride your horse well?" Er Mao is a new enlisted in the army, so he put it by his side as soon as he saw it pleasing to the eye.

It took six days for Feng Dajun and his party to arrive at Xinping City. This speed is twice their usual speed. This is because Feng Dajun couldn't let go of his military affairs and wanted to go back early, otherwise he might not be able to make it in six days. (to be continued)
