The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 1612

[Chapter 1612 Brother Xuan Returns Home (1)]

In the cold winter and the twelfth lunar day, the ground is covered with thin snow, and the windows form a block of ice flowers. The ice skates are like small crystal pillars that are translucent, hanging in rows on the eaves.

Brother Xuan stood in the room, looked at the ice skater on the eaves, and said, “We will be home in three days.” He originally thought he would be home in early November, but it was delayed until the twelfth lunar month. This speed is really slow.

“If it still snows, I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it to the capital in three days.” The heavy snow blocked the road, and the carriage was prone to slipping and accidents on the road.

“The sky is really not beautiful.” If it weren’t for the snow, a day and a half would be enough to get home.

Asan didn’t think so: “It would be the best to return to the capital safely.” When he returned to the capital, his mission would be completed. I don’t know if I can still stay with the third prince.

Speaking of which, Ah San was also very annoyed by Brother Xuan at first. A good woman is soft-hearted and always cheated. The real thing is so stupid that it is hopeless. It doesn’t look like the child of the emperor and the queen’s concubine. But after what happened in Mianzhou and watching him transform, Asan felt a sense of accomplishment.

At this time, Brother You was also talking about Brother Xuan: “Mother, why hasn’t the third brother come back? It’s really killing me.” He was worried about what happened to Brother Xuan.

“Brother Xuan is riding a carriage, not a horse. It’s hard to travel in cold weather, so it’s normal to be slow for a few days.” After speaking, Yuxi looked at Brother You and said, “If you have time, why don’t you do more work at the Ministry of Housing? What?” Shen Chunting was talking about too few people, and he had to add two more people to him.

Brother You sat down on the chair: “Mother, it’s not like everyone is as uncomfortable as you are.” He didn’t want to do those things. His wish was to eat all the delicious food in the world and see the beautiful scenery all over the world. Unfortunately, with his father and mother watching, this wish is doomed to come to nothing.

“When I was young, I thought about eating, drinking, and having fun, and I made a lot of money for you.” Of the six children, Brother You was the laziest.

Mei Lan raised her voice outside, “Madam, the eldest princess brought Master Changsheng to see you.” Zao Zao came back yesterday.

Seeing Yuxi, Changsheng broke Zaozao’s hand and threw it into Yuxi’s arms.

Zaozao patted Changsheng’s butt, and said angrily: “This stinky boy pretends not to know me when he sees me. Let him be called Mother, and he will not open his mouth.”

Yuxi gave Zaozao a white look, who could blame him, not Zaozao himself. The child hasn’t seen anyone for more than half a year, and it’s normal that he doesn’t remember.

It’s just that Oak-hee didn’t say it in front of Changsheng. Instead, he hugged Changsheng and asked with a smile, “Is Changsheng angry with your mother and deliberately pretending not to know her and not calling her?”

Changsheng’s big black eyes flickered: “Don’t call me, who told her not to want me and my father.” Hmph, don’t speak, let’s see what she can do.

Zao Zao gasped: “This stinky boy.”

Yuxi glared at Zao Zao, then asked Chang Sheng with a smile: “How does Chang Sheng want to punish her? Spank her or forbid her to eat?”

Brother You Dale: “Changsheng, she doesn’t care if you and your father go out to play and let your grandmother spank her, okay?”

Zaozao’s face turned blue.

Seeing Changsheng hesitating, Brother You teased him again: “Then don’t allow her to eat, and starve her for three days and three nights.”

Changsheng didn’t want to: “No, I will have stomach pain if I don’t eat, I don’t want my mother’s stomach pain.”

Zaozao was greatly moved when he heard this, he picked up Changsheng and said, “Changsheng, it’s your mother’s fault, she shouldn’t have left you to go to Tongcheng. Mother promised you that after next year’s war is over, she will bring her wherever she goes. with you?”

“Really?” After speaking, Changsheng stretched out his hand and said, “The hook.”

After pulling the hook, Changsheng finally called his mother.

Brother You took Changsheng to play, and Yuxi asked about Tongcheng’s situation: “How is the construction of Tongcheng’s city walls?”

“Very smooth. All the collapsed and damaged ones have been repaired. In addition, they have been thickened by a layer.” After speaking, Zazao smiled: “Mother, Tongcheng’s soldiers not only do not reject us, but also welcome them very much. ”

“That’s good.”

Zaozao recalled these days in Tongcheng, and said with emotion: “Mother, Tongcheng’s soldiers are really too bitter. It’s okay to eat less, and most of them only have a shabby set to keep out the cold in such a cold day. Clothes, not even a stand-in. If you accidentally get wet, you won’t be able to go out, you can only sleep in the blankets.” This is not a fabrication by Zaozao, but the real situation.

Yuxi knew no less about the situation in Tongcheng than Zaozao: “I have already transferred two batches of winter supplies to Tongcheng.” There are cotton coats and cotton pants, as well as feather clothes and feather pants. This time, they were all sent to Tongcheng first. Elsewhere, it is delayed.

“Mother, it’s far from enough. Many soldiers have not been given new cotton-padded jackets and trousers.” Not including the 50,000 horses newly transferred by the imperial court, Tongcheng originally had 150,000 soldiers and horses. Only a little over half of the 90,000 sets of winter clothes that Yu Xi had transferred, so the generals almost didn’t fight in order to get more clothes to keep out the cold. In the end, Tie Kui divided these things into each military camp. As for the distribution of the various military camps, that is the matter of the leading generals.

Yuxi smiled bitterly and said, “It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. The treasury has no money now, and I have tried my best.” Only by resting and recuperating can we recover as soon as possible. Therefore, the agricultural tax levied is very small, and the exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes can be exempted. It is mainly relying on the commercial taxes such as salt, iron and tea to barely maintain the expenses of the imperial court. But the imperial court has been fighting for years, and the huge expenditure has already made the treasury beyond its means. It was also Yu Xishen who tried his best to fill in the loopholes, otherwise he would not be able to carry it.

Hearing this, Zao Zao said, “It would be nice if I could find another secret room of gold and silver jewelry.”

Oak Xi smiled and said, “I hope too! If I can get so much silver, then I won’t have to worry about the war next year.” If I get another 10 million silver, then everything will be solved. Her hair can also be a little less white.

After thinking for a while, Zao Zao said: “Mother, I heard that the Zhou Dynasty left a batch of treasures. I just don’t know where it is hidden. If you can find it, then you don’t have to worry about money every day.”

Oak-hee had also heard of this rumor.

“Just listen, don’t take it seriously.” There are real treasures, and they were dug up by Yan Wushuang long ago.

“Mother, then you have to find a way to increase income and reduce expenditure.” This year has such a big hole, where will the gap be found next year. Therefore, we must continue to find ways to solve this big problem.

“It’s easier said than done.” After speaking, Oak Xi smiled: “Don’t talk about these disappointing things today, tell me some happy things.”

Zaozao picked up some interesting anecdotes from the army for Yuxi to listen to, and Yuxi couldn’t be more happy about it.

After having lunch in the palace, Zaozao took Changsheng home. Seeing that Wu Jinyu was not there, Zaozao asked, “Where is the concubine?”

Hearing that he was called away by Fang’s people, Zao Zao frowned, but didn’t say anything.

It was not until evening that Wu Jinyu came back. That face was quite ugly.

Seeing this, Zao Zao said, “Don’t be angry, it’s me and Changsheng who feel bad when you’re angry.” His mother-in-law used to be quite reasonable, and she didn’t know why her temper was getting bigger and bigger now. Yesterday afternoon, I went to Wu Mansion, and it was also the eyes, not the nose, not the nose.

Zao Zao is not a little daughter-in-law, and she came back without sitting hot on her buttocks.

“It was the eldest brother who wrote back to say that there is a vacancy in Zhizhou in Changzhou, and I hope that my family can help him find this vacancy.” Wu Kuo and Fang Shi were neither capable, so they hoped Wu Jinyu could help.

Zao Zao laughed angrily, and said ruthlessly, “I’ve seen shameless people, but I’ve never seen such shameless people.” If Wu Jinbao and Wu Jinyu had a very good relationship, she would definitely help. But Wu Jinbao wanted to occupy their family’s property before, but later even Fang’s complained. What’s more shameless is that the husband and wife are at ease outside, but they leave their two children at home. How many times Jin Yu wiped Wu Chengli’s buttocks, but the couple didn’t know it at all. Now there is still the face to ask Jinyu to find him a job.

Wu Jinyu was also dissatisfied with the elder brother Wu Jinbao, but after hearing this, he couldn’t help but argue: “He wants his parents to help him operate.”

Zaozao laughed: “You just let the in-laws and the others worry about it, you don’t care about it.” She wouldn’t even care about it. This kind of eldest uncle of your brother when you don’t exist and use you on weekdays, don’t worry.

Wu Jinyu smiled bitterly and said, “I just want to manage, but I don’t have the ability.” He just planted flowers and plants at home, and then took the children. He didn’t know anything about the courtroom. It is no exaggeration to say that he did not know where the gates of the six yamen opened.

“Jinyu, you have to remember one thing. You owe Wu Jinyu what you owe your parents. You have done your best to him.” Brothers and sisters should support and help each other, not just one party. Just pay.

Hearing this, Wu Jinyu hesitated and said, “Mother said let’s go to Wu’s house for the New Year, Lan Lan, can you think?” Every time he quarreled with Mr. Fang, he was very angry. When the anger dissipated, the heart softened again. However, he insisted on the matter of Changsheng.

Zao Zao didn’t refuse, nodded and said, “Okay!” Just go to have a meal, and don’t need to stay overnight.

After a pause, Zaozao said again: “However, if there is something unpleasant this time, I will not go to Wu Mansion again.” Last year, it was very unpleasant, but she resisted it.

Wu Jinyu nodded: “If it’s still the same as last year, we won’t go to Wu’s house in the future, we will celebrate the New Year in our own mansion.” For Wu Jinyu, the princess’ mansion is his home.

On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, Brother Xuan finally returned to the capital.

When he walked to Chongtian Gate, Brother Xuan felt very cordial: “I’m finally home.” After leaving for a year, it feels like he has been away for many years.

The guard at the gate looked at the group of people, came over and asked, “Who are you?”

After seeing Brother Xuan’s face, a flash of light flashed in his mind. The guard hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, “The little one has eyes and no pearls, please forgive the third prince.” This guard was transferred two months ago. However, he had never seen Brother Xuan, but he had seen Brother You many times.

Brother Xuan waved his hand and said, “Those who don’t know are innocent.”
