    In October, the war in the north was initially decided.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Outside of the home advantage of having an army six times larger than the enemy's and waiting to work, the Murong clan was defeated in one blow.  After this battle, Beiyan was defeated like a mountain.  Seeing that the situation was undefendable, Emperor Yan hurriedly led his troops to flee north back to their hometown of Longcheng.  The clan members and ministers who did not have time to escape were captured by the Northern Qin army and escorted to Chang'an.

    Beiyan¡¯s more than 40 years of business operations were ruined in one fell swoop.

    As for the Jiangbei gentry, they are still firmly rooted in their homeland - anyway, the dynasty of the Hu people in the north has always been like cutting leeks, and they have long been accustomed to it.  Zhengshuo was in the south of the Yangtze River. The old and new Hu people were all the same to them, and there was no loyalty or attachment.  Anyway, if you don¡¯t offend me, I won¡¯t torture you. If you offend me, I won¡¯t torture you to death.  Once the Wubao Gate is closed, the land should be cultivated and the troops should be trained.  Within the strong walls, it calls itself a system.  Outside the strong wall, Hu Renjia still had to be wary of Hu Renyi, and he really did not dare to provoke them.

    For such a big change, the Cui and Lu families didn't say a word or send a single soldier.  After the barbarians on both sides killed each other, one of Cui's officials was reinstated and given the additional post of governor of Qi County.

    This is the current situation of communication between the Hu people and the high families in Jiangbei.

    At this time, winter has also entered in the north.

    The Qingqi area is different from the Jiangnan area. There is no bone-deep cold in winter, but the cold is biting and arrogant.  The strong wind breaks the withered grass, the bare branches point to the sky, and even the flags on the city walls are often too cold to turn over.

    Cui Chen came back from a hunting trip and rode into the city.  The soldiers behind him were pushing the stacked wolf corpses on carts, and the shafts of the carts were dripping with blood and turning into ice.  He pushed open the stopper of the wine bag in the vague smell of blood, took a sip of sake, and ordered: "Whoever reports that wolves are attacking people, let him bring the one who was attacked to get the wolf meat."

    One person took the order and left, while the others carried the wolf carcass down and sorted it out.  Cui Chen took a look and saw that one of the wolves had fur as thick as snow, and he became interested unconsciously.  After driving the horse over, the wine bag was opened, and the clear wine fell on the wolf's eyes, washing away the blood stained on the surrounding fur.

    The new animal hair in winter is dense and long, turning when the wind blows.  Cui Chen couldn't help but think of the white fox fur Ah Li wore that day, and also remembered the humiliation he suffered on the night of the Lantern Festival.  It's rare that I don't feel angry, but rather amused.

    He raised his finger casually and said, "I want the fur of this one. You can divide the rest."

    Then he drove his horse away.

    This year has gone by so fast.  It seems like just a blink of an eye, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

    It¡¯s hard to describe all the miscellaneous things.

    Since the prince took his seat in the East Palace, Xie Lian went to Jiangbei, and Wei Lang followed Uncle Ali to travel to Shu, Wang Yan's study became deserted.  Although he couldn't stay any longer, he was too young and his family didn't trust him to run away.  He had no choice but to stay at home reading and practicing calligraphy with peace of mind, waiting impatiently to grow up.

    In October, when the news of Beiyan's defeat came, Xie Lian also asked someone to send a letter.  According to his usual practice, a jar of fish came with him.

    Wang Yan was so depressed that he excitedly opened Xie Lian's letter when he returned to the study.

    There are two pieces of letter paper inside the envelope, each folded.  Wang Yan was a little confused.  Don't rush to unfold it yet, just flip it over and take a look.  I saw that Bo's piece was signed in small letters: "Wang Lin personally expresses my gratitude".

    Wang Yan: I'm dazzled. It's definitely his eyes.

    Despite this, he put this one aside first and unfolded the one that was definitely written to him.

    The letter first said that I haven¡¯t seen you for two months and I miss you very much.  A few days ago, someone from Jianye came to talk about the current situation between him and Wei Lang, so he wrote to inquire.

    Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Xie Lian was still normal.

    The letter also talks about the scenery of Beigu Mountain and the water scenery of the Yangtze River - four or six sentences, with loops and opposite directions, using the standard parallel style that is popular nowadays.  The writing lives up to the reputation of the Xie family and is very gorgeous.  While Wang Yan was reading, he could only feel the mountains rushing towards him and the river rushing towards him. He could almost hear the sound of the torrential waves.  Before I knew it, I was fascinated and wanted to see it with my own eyes.  He still didn't want to finish reading.  When I saw Xie Lian writing about the beautiful scenery next spring and hoping to see it with him, I blurted out "Okay" - and then saw the word "again" at the end of the letter.

    ¡ª¡ªXie Lian wrote in the style of "Just do me a favor": "Please pass on."

    Wang Yan threw himself on the ground.

    This kid hasn¡¯t learned yet, but he can¡¯t help but be smart.  He immediately thought of eight words in a subtle way, "Build the plank road openly and cross the Chencang secretly."

    His sister is the Chencang, and he is the plank road.

    Wang Yan knew that he should reject it righteously and sternly.

    ¡ª¡ªThis is a private giving and receiving.  Moreover, Xie Lian dragged him in unkindly.  If he turned it over, he was an accomplice.  Help foreignersHear it bark.  There seemed to be a hint of grievance in the cry.  After listening to it for a long time, all she could think of was Sima Yu looking at her in the snow.

    However, the past is like smoke and will eventually dissipate.

    ¡ª¡ªAs long as a person is alive and looks backward, he must always move forward.

    This summer, Ah Li¡¯s mother began to teach Ah Li how to be a housekeeper.

    Ah Li could tell the difference - last time she just watched from the sidelines. After watching for half a year, her mother-in-law handed over some cutting and other matters to her.  This time, her mother-in-law asked her about everything, and even lectured her about anything.

    At first, Ah Li only thought that perhaps she behaved well this time, and her mother-in-law had high expectations for her, so she had more control over her.

    When the situation in Jiangbei became clear, her mother-in-law began to talk to her about the emperor's family affairs, intentionally or unintentionally.  At this time, Ah Li suddenly realized that something was wrong.

    Her mother-in-law will not discuss royal gossip for no reason.  I'm afraid I've noticed something and I'm preparing for a rainy day.  With her mother-in-law's calmness and preparations, this matter is basically reliable.

    However, last time, she got engaged to Sima Yu in the autumn when she was fifteen, and got married in the spring when she was sixteen.  After all, she is not even twelve years old now, so why not the Queen and her mother-in-law!

    Although she comforted herself like this, Ahri gradually became a little panicked.

    She felt that if this really happened, she would be too unlucky.  It's like a young boy who just got a secret book and thought he would soon be able to master magic skills.  As a result, he met the leader of the Demon Cult just after he came out of the cave, and was killed with a sword.  Her life in the past two weeks was like a novel with layers of foreshadowing. It was about to get better and better, with climaxes coming one after another. In the end, a meteorite fell from the sky - and it was all over.

    You don¡¯t play tricks on people like that!

    Ah Li was depressed, but she also knew that it was useless to ask her mother about this matter.  It's not like her mother-in-law can make the decision.

    So when she received another letter from Xie Lian in the twelfth lunar month, she finally felt something was wrong.

    She suddenly realized that she had thought too simply before.  What she faced was actually a big problem.

    ¡ª¡ªBefore the engagement, she couldn't let Xie Lian develop any ambiguous feelings, otherwise if something happened, she would be the one who harmed him.  But if nothing happened with Xie Lian, why would Xie Lian get engaged to her first?

    Ah Li was vomiting blood.

    At this time, there were also new changes in the DPRK.

    ¡ª¡ªAlthough it had been expected that there would be war in Jiangbei this year, no one expected that Beiyan was so poor and could only last for four short months.

    Because the Queen Mother's brother Yu Ming was guarding Xuzhou and was on the front line, often dealing with the Hu people in the north of the Yangtze River, the emperor announced that he would come to the court to report on his duties and detail the situation in the north.

    The Queen Mother¡¯s two brothers were both one-time stars.  The eldest brother Yu Lin, the second brother Yu Ming.  At that time, the late emperor died suddenly and the prince was still young.  It was Yu Lin who advocated it, saying that the country was in trouble and there were powerful enemies outside, so it was not appropriate for a young ruler to come to court.  Finally, the current emperor ascended the throne.  At that time, Yu Lin assisted the government in the middle of the court, and Yu Ming garrisoned in the north.  It was also popular at the time.  Later, Yu Lin was implicated in the harem and asked to go to another town.  The Queen Mother had always hoped that Yu Ming could return to the court.

    And now Yu Ming is really back.

    The Queen Mother was so happy that she often called the female family members into the palace to talk.

    Among Yu Ming¡¯s granddaughters, Yu Xiu was the best born, well-educated and sensible.  It¡¯s time to talk to others again.  The Queen Mother kept her in the palace and wanted to find a good marriage for her.

    On the first day of this year, Ah Li went to the palace for pilgrimage, and the queen finally stopped asking about Ah Li.  Yu Xiu was given an extra share of the reward on the first day of the year.

    It seems that last year in Hualin Garden, Sima Yu's response made Yu Xiu fall in love.  The Queen Mother also felt that the Prince was filial and close to her, had become sensible, and could indeed be entrusted to her.  So he deliberately made the two people into a pair.

    When the ladies in the capital started talking and Mrs. Yu acquiesced, Ah Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
