    At a glance, it was a vast expanse of white.  At that time, the snowflakes were still floating in the sky, and the goose-feather-like snowflakes danced in various postures in the air, either flying, hovering, or falling straight and fast, spreading to the ground.  Others got into Bai Shinian's neck.

    Bai Shinian has long been accustomed to the cold weather in the border town.  Walking through the thick snow, he walked towards Ye Xun's camp.  If Wen Wan were there, I would definitely praise him.  After walking for such a long distance, not to mention shivering or anything, I didn't even rub my hands together.  The two children's good physiques definitely resemble their father's.

    Ye Xun was hiding in the camp.  As soon as I entered, a burst of hot air hit my face.  There were two charcoal stoves in the tent, which were blazing red.  There was a copper wine pot placed in the charcoal stove.  Ye Xun was warming himself by the fire, sometimes rubbing his hands.

    Ye Xun felt a chill: "Hurry, put it down quickly. The cold wind is blowing in. Hurry up. You are here just in time, and my wine is warm. I will have two glasses later." After coming to the border town for so many years,  Still not used to it.  When it's the coldest time (the Chinese New Year is usually the coldest season), he usually doesn't dare to go out.  Then if anything happened during this period, Bai Shinian would have to come to him, or ask the soldiers to call Bai Shinian over.

    Bai Shinian was not polite: "It's just wine and no meat!" It's only right to have wine and meat.  Just wine, too monotonous.  It must be paired with meat to be strong enough!

    Ye Xun said angrily: "No, you are the generalissimo. Let them cook two side dishes. Well, it is best to make two plates of beef. It is chewy." I think everyone is like you and has the wonderful ability to achieve happiness.  What a day!  Speaking of which, Ye Xun still missed the life when Bai Shinian was recovering from his injuries.

    Bai Shinian was not that particular: "Forget it. It's so troublesome, just have some wine." He touched it.  I felt that the wine was about the same, so I poured a glass and drank it.  This wine is very strong, and after drinking it, my whole body becomes soft and soft.

    Ye Xun sighed a little: "Well, actually I still miss six years ago. [ Point ] That time. Well, the princess sent someone to serve you. With wine and food, your life is like a god. That's right.  General, when you got married to the princess, your life was free and easy!" That kind of life is the life they want to live!

    Bai Shinian smiles, there are good food and rice.  There was no more wine. He didn't understand the meaning at first, but after hearing Wen Wan's words, he realized why.  Speaking of which.  Bai Shinian smiled: "My wife didn't allow me to drink at that time. She said drinking was bad for my health."

    Ye Xun gave Bai Shinian a roll of his eyes: "Drinking is not good? Who doesn't know that the most famous wine in the capital is in the princess's mansion. The princess will say that drinking is not good? You have to find a reason, and find a better reason. Yes.  If you don¡¯t drink all the fine wines in the Princess¡¯s mansion, how can you make wine if you¡¯re not good at wine?  Only those who are good at this taste will research better wines that are more palatable.

    Bai Shinian smiled: "I was really not allowed to drink when I got married. My wife said that if you get pregnant while drinking, it is easy to give birth to a mentally retarded child. Regardless of whether it is true or not, for the sake of the child, I have to do whatever it takes.  Bear with it. Later, my grandma and my wife were pregnant, so they didn¡¯t care about me anymore. Instead, they brought out the good wine in the mansion and let me taste it. "

    Ye Xun smiled and said with some curiosity: "The princess also said that three generations do not get married. She said that the blood relationship is too close, and the children are prone to problems." The princess has so many twists and turns, it is troublesome.

    Bai Shinian shook his head: "I have never heard her say this. But my wife is very knowledgeable and can even read foreign languages. She can truly be said to be knowledgeable about the past and the present. Since she said that, it must be well-founded. In the future, my children will definitely have three generations of children.  Marriage." Anyone who is a hindrance to future generations will be murdered.  Don't take even one ten thousandth risk.

    Ye Xungang wanted to say that the princess is really poor and particular.  Suddenly his eyes widened: "That's not right"

    Seeing him like this, Bai Shinian suddenly said, "What's wrong?" Nothing was wrong.  certainly.  There is heavy snow falling all over the sky now, and there is no military situation.

    Ye Xun stood up suddenly: "Do you remember Yang Dong, that boy couldn't live without drinking every day. Of the two sons he gave birth to, one was a fool, and the other was dull and half-idiot. Could it be that what the princess said?  Really." Yang Dong used to have a cheerful temper.  But for this reason, I was very depressed.  Everyone sympathized with him and let him work in the kitchen.

    Bai Shinian shuddered and said goodbye.  Although he listened to what Wen Wan said, it was related to future generations and he did not dare to take even the slightest risk.  I didn't expect this to happen.

    Before he could finish his emotion, Gao Qin brought a food box from outside.  The bottom of the food box is made of copper, which can hold charcoal fire and prevent the dishes from getting cold so quickly in winter.

    Gao Qin opened the food box, took out the vegetables and placed them next to the two of them.  A plate of peanuts, a plate of beef slices, and a plate of hot and sour potato shreds.  They are all good for drinking.?.  These dishes come from Bai Shinian's personal chef (the chef who was trained by Xia Xian, his skills are considered to be first-rate in today's border towns).

    Ye Xun picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth: "I have to say that it has ruined the princess's fortune. How could we have such a comfortable life back then." In the past, every winter, everyone was worried.  Because there are not enough clothes and quilts to keep out the cold.  But ever since, well, ever since Bai Shinian married Wen Wan, he has never had to worry about logistical matters.  Not only that, as the marshal's staff officer, he enjoys good wine and good food every day.  No one froze to death in the military camp anymore.

    Bai Shinian smiled slightly and said no more.  It sounds like he is indeed lucky.  For example, when Qi Quan was the marshal, his hair turned gray every year because of the worry about military pay and food.  He never worried about these things.

    Ye Xun saw Bai Shinian's depressed look and said with a smile: "I got the news that the reason why the emperor did not agree to our attack on the Manchu and Qing Tatars was because a new type of weapon was being developed. This weapon is almost ready. As long as it is ready,  We will then be able to annihilate the Manchus in one fell swoop with minimal casualties, so that they can no longer harm the people in the border towns."

    Bai Shinian was ecstatic.

    Before Wen Wan went to Zhuangzi, she sent someone to pick up Ling Chang and Qi Zhe.  Ling Chang looked a little fatter, but Qi Zhe and Wen Wan didn't know if it was her imagination. The child seemed to have lost weight again: "Xia Yao, come and see if he has lost weight again."

    Xia Yao said favorably: "I have lost weight again."

    Wen Wan¡¯s brows are so furrowed that they could kill a fly.  The little meat that Qi Zhe had managed to gain in her mansion had lost weight again.  Prince Hao had his own reminder and would definitely not abuse his grandson.  But he still lost weight: "Tell Xia Xian to make more delicious food and replenish your body. Qi Zhe, except for the holidays, you can go back if you want to go back. If you don't want to go back, just stay with your cousin." Wen Wan didn't either.  The solution is that you must go back during the holidays.  This is not a rule. It is impossible for Prince Hao to allow his grandson to celebrate the New Year and festivals at her place. Where to put Prince Hao's face if word spreads.  Wen Wan would definitely not do anything to disgrace Prince Hao.  But at other times, you can follow Qi Zhe's own opinions.  At worst, it is said to the outside world that this child is diligent and eager to learn.

    After the first lunar month, the emperor went to the hot spring village.  Wen Wan followed the emperor.  Wenwan went to the emperor's palace to talk to him about something.  Longhu is very stable, basically no bumps.

    Wen Wan finally asked the emperor: "Uncle Emperor, are you planning to go on a personal expedition?" Before receiving confirmation from the emperor, Wen Wan really hoped that she was being overly concerned.

    The emperor smiled and nodded.  As his confidant, Wen Wan has only realized now that he is too slow. (Wen Wan complained: I don't have the energy to think about living a good life, but I want to take risks. I'm just eating enough to hold on.  , and it scares me).  The emperor actually wanted to mention it to Wen Wan several times, but thinking about Wen Wan's temperament, he didn't say anything in the end.  I hope Wenwan feels it herself.

    The last chance of luck in Wen Wan's heart was shattered. Wen Wan took a deep breath and said, "Uncle Emperor, when do you plan to go on a personal expedition?" It looked like it might be in March or April.

    The emperor thought for a moment and then said: "The Ministry of War has now developed a new type of artillery (note: artillery already existed in the Ming Dynasty, but it was very weak). The power is several times that of the previous artillery. With them, casualties can be reduced."  It's much reduced. There's basically no objection to the chance of winning. "That's why it took so long."  The emperor wanted to go on a personal expedition last year.

    Wen Wan heard that it was because he was waiting for the artillery to come out, and he hadn¡¯t even gone into battle personally until now. In other words, the emperor was doing it just to be on the safe side.  Although his heart is still heavy, it is a good thing that the emperor can think so carefully: "How many people know about the artillery?" Thinking about it, he felt that he was saying something stupid.  Even she didn't know about such a confidential matter.  Other people, unless they are extremely trusted and connected people, will definitely not know.

    The emperor smiled: "Don't worry, this is highly confidential. Not many people know about it. Even Yu Jing, Minister of the Ministry of War, doesn't know about it." The money for the development of the artillery was allocated from his own private treasury, and other items were also available.  Have someone do the shopping.  The place where it was developed is also extremely confidential.  The emperor was very confident that this matter had not been leaked.  Even if someone guesses, they can't guess what kind of weapon it is.

    Wen Wan wanted to touch her head, and then bury her head in the sand to make an ostrich: "Uncle Emperor, that's an artillery! When the artillery was tested, the sound was earth-shattering. How could no one guess it?" Unless  This military base is located far away from human habitation.  Otherwise, the sound of the cannon fire would not be heard.  Although today's cannons are definitely not as good as modern ones, it would be impossible to fire a cannon without being heard.

    The emperor smiled softly and did not answer the gentle words.  But that expression said that if he said no, he wouldn't have it.

    Well, the emperor has this confidence, Wenwan didn¡¯t pour cold water on him either.
