Winter in the border area is much colder than in the capital. Bao Baogang is also from the south. When winter comes, he feels colder than the average person. He would rub his hands together, blow on his breath, and say, "It's so cold. It's so cold every winter."
Zhang Yi walked in and shook his head at the side, "Wearing such thick clothes, why is it cold? It's been so many years, I'm still not used to it."
Bao Baogang looked at the snowflakes outside with disgust, "I won't get used to it after so many years." Bao Baogang is also from the south, and he just isn't used to the northern sky. I have suffered a lot in winter these past few years.
Zhang Yi looked at the snowflakes outside and said to Bai Shinian, "This year is much colder than last year. It is estimated that many of the Manchu people's cattle, sheep and horses will freeze to death. There will definitely be more looting this year than in previous years, and there may even be more It¡¯s earlier than in previous years.¡±
Bai Shinian nodded. He had expected this.
Ye Xun smiled and said, "That's for sure, so I will take protective measures as soon as possible. If they dare to come, let them go and never return."
Bai Shiniandao hasn't received the letter from home yet, so he is a little depressed. Of course, he actually also knows that it is definitely not as convenient as spring, summer and autumn in the cold weather now. Even if Wen Wan receives his letter and replies to him, she will not receive it until the ice melts.
Zhang Yi is luckier than Bai Shinian. His wife is here with him, and he has four children. Seeing that Bai Shinian remained silent, with a stern look on his face, looking in the direction of the capital, he smiled and said, "General, do you want a child?"
Bai Shinian nodded. My wife and children want it.
Ye Xun crossed his legs and said, "If you want to, beat the Manchus to pieces so that you can go home and take care of your wife and children."
Bai Shinian rolled his eyes at him. Doesn't he understand this? The problem is that the Manchus are nomadic people, their base is very far away from their camp, and the terrain is steep, so no one dares to take this risk. At least you can't take this risk without being completely sure.
Bao Baogang looked at Ye Xun's snow-white sweater. He walked forward and touched it: "Where did the military advisor get such a good fur? The craftsmanship is also first-class. Tell me and I will get one too. It feels warm just by looking at it."
Ye Xun looked at Bai Shinian and said with a smile: "This is what the general gave me. If you want it, go to the general."
Bao Baogang¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°General, where did you get it?¡±
Zhang Yi saw Bai Shinian's expression and then looked at the workmanship of the fur clothes: "You have been around the capital. You didn't even get a big sweater. What can you say?"
Bao Baogang was discouraged. At that time, I just wanted to enjoy life, but later I was framed and framed. Just not interested. I just want to come back and not pick up where I feel aggrieved.
After Bai Shinian returned, he looked at the map in his study, thinking about how to deal with the invading enemies after the heavy snow passed.
Gao Qin walked in and said, "General, there is something I need to tell you."
Bai Shinian felt a little strange about Gao Qin's sudden voice. Speaking of which. The two bodyguards given by Wen Wan are either gourds with a saw-beak, or gourds with a saw-beak! No matter how much Ye Xun offered condolences, he couldn't come up with a useful sentence. In the end, Ye Xun could only sigh: "The people given by the princess are all talents."
Gao Qin said one thing.
Bai Shinian's heart sank to the bottom of the lake. He said with stern eyes: "If it is baseless, I will not allow you to slander."
Gao Qin seemed not to notice Bai Shinian's furious expression. Still speaking slowly: "The princess asked us two brothers to protect the general, and we will reduce the danger to the general to a minimum. General, you may not know the princess's intention of letting the two of us stay with you. County. What worries me the most is not that the general goes to the battlefield to fight the Manchus. It is that there are traitors around you. That is why we, brothers, have always been careful."
Bai Shinian¡¯s eyes are very complicated. He didn't want to believe it. However, Gao Qin and Gao Shan were given to him by Wen Wan, and they were people he could absolutely trust. Now that they have spoken, they are fully confident. He couldn't help but believe it. If it is true, what if in the future Bai Shinian's heart ached when he thought of this. He would never make the same mistake again: "In this case, you will follow him secretly. See who he has been in contact with?" After saying this, he paused and then said: "Be careful, don't be fooled." They found out."
Gao Qin said expressionlessly: "General, don't worry. Those people, to us, are just small generals." They didn't understand the formation of troops. Although they have high martial arts skills on the battlefield, actually going into battle to kill the enemy is not their strong point. Their strengths include overt and covert investigation, tracking and assassination.
After Bai Shinian's face darkened, he said coldly: "Don't underestimate your opponent at any time. Once you underestimate your opponent, it will be your death."
??Gao Qin Yilin, maybe it was too easy to follow him these few times. I think people at the border are not very familiar with this. But if you think about it carefully, if the person behind it was so incompetent, he wouldn't hide it so deeply. It seemed that they were really careless: "Yes, General."
Wen Wan looked at Brother Jin lying lazily on the bed. Brother Rui has learned to roll over a long time ago, and now he wants to learn to crawl again. But Brother Jin was not even willing to turn over. In the end, Wen Wan asked him to turn over every time. Brother Jin himself felt uncomfortable and wanted to turn over. The two brothers fell.
Wen Wan has a headache: "Do you think Xiaobao will be a lazy person in the future?" I didn't realize it before, it's normal for children to sleep and eat after waking up. But I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s because Brother Yourui has set an example. Wen Wan discovered that Brother Jin was really too lazy.
Xia Yao smiled and hugged Brother Jin: "If you want to blame it, it's because Dabao is too diligent. It makes our little treasure very stressed. Your mother calls him a slacker."
Wen Wan, however, hugged Brother Rui who never stopped: "Baby, just enough is enough. You are only more than four months old, why are you so diligent? Those who are diligent must work harder, and we will not be model workers."
Xia Yao was weird: "Model worker? What is that?"
Wen Wan explained that they were model workers, but Wen Wan exaggerated, saying that model workers would basically die of overwork in the end.
Xia Yao shook her head: "The princess has so many strange words. We have so many people in our mansion, and we can make Dabao tired."
Wen Wan curled her lips: "Don't talk about our Dabao. Just talk about the emperor's uncle. The energy with which he handled the government affairs scared me to death. I have spent so much thought and words over the years to make him change. . Otherwise" I won't say anything unlucky.
Xia Yao ignored Wen Wan's nonsense and followed Xiaobao. Wenwan hugged Dabao and muttered to Dabao.
Xia Xian brought up the carefully processed melon seeds for Wen Wan to enjoy. The melon seeds in the sweet white porcelain dish are green.
Xia Yao looked at the green melon seeds fried with tea leaves: "It's all because of the princess's frugality. If this spreads around, it would be great if it doesn't say that you are a prodigal." She actually used green tea to fry the melon seeds.
??
Wen Wan picked one up and chewed it carefully: "Well, this time it tastes better than last time. Xia Xian's craftsmanship is really getting better and better now. You should try it too, it's very fragrant."
Xia Yao looked at Wen Wan as if she was offering a treasure, and said with a smile: "It's not like I haven't eaten it before." After saying that, she also grabbed one and ate it. She thought it tasted very good, so she continued to eat.
Wen Wan saw Brother Rui looking at her and saying with a smile: "Baby, you are still too young. Your teeth have not grown yet. You can only eat when you have teeth."
Xia Yao smiled and said: "Princess chewed it up and gave it to Dabao to have a taste."
Wen Wan decisively refused. The three women chatted while cracking melon seeds. Brother Rui called a few times graciously. Probably too noisy.
When Xia Ying walked in, her face was a little ugly. Wen Wan said, "What happened?" Xia Ying shouldn't have such an expression if nothing happened.
Xia Xian wisely withdrew. There were only three people left in the room. Xia Ying snorted and said, "The prince is so bold that he lets his officials make money."
Wen Wan smiled and said: "I thought it was such a big deal! If you make money, you will make money. As long as you don't prey on the common people, it will be fine." When the matter got serious, it was the prince who was embarrassed. Why is Xia Ying so angry? It doesn't make sense.
Xia Ying glanced at Wen Wan angrily, "It's not the people who suffer in the end when officials make money. The prince is too bold. Not only that, he now sends his disciples to frequently contact Jiang Lin. Is he crazy or something?" . The majestic prince of a country actually" I don't even care about him.
Wen Wan ignored it: "The melon seeds Xia Xian just fried are very fragrant. Xia Yao and I both think they are delicious. Try them, they are really good."
Xia Yao was so angry that she went crazy.
Wenwan just ignores her. The prince's bribery of officials was closely related to her life. Even if he is angry, it should be the emperor's uncle who is angry. If you can't hit one spot with eight poles, that cell will be wasted.
Xia Yao saw Xia Ying sitting on the chair angrily. Passing a cup of tea over: "What's the point of being angry? You also know that's the prince. Only the emperor can take care of it. It's wrong for the princess to ask any more questions. What are you angry about? The emperor knows it well!"
Xia Ying also knows this. But when I heard the news, I couldn't help but feel uneasy. This world will belong to him in the future. Why did he take bribes? Is such a person worthy of being a prince? Well, can such a person be the king of a country in the future?
Wenwan ate melon seeds leisurely, without saying a word from beginning to end. I keep hearing that the Crown Princess posted a message. Gentleness makes people push. SheWhile taking care of the children, there is no time to socialize.
After the first lunar month, the weather began to gradually warm up. Xia Tian said happily: "Princess, three people froze to death in this snowstorm. They were a few elderly beggars. If the government hadn't come forward, more people might have died."
She smiled softly, but didn't answer. When Fu Yin saw Wen Wan's behavior, he was offended. I hope that in the name of the government, these beggars and homeless children can be settled. The emperor naturally agreed. Because of this, although today is colder than previous years. But with the help from the government, only a few old beggars froze to death. This is relatively normal. As people age, their resistance decreases. Not to mention the old beggars, there are also several elderly people in the wealthy families in the capital. (To be continued)
