"water"
Xiao immediately poured water for her to drink. When she opened her eyes, she saw that it was Xiao.
I was too embarrassed to ask, "Did Second Aunt not sleep all night?"
"I slept with you. I was afraid that you would want to drink water at night, so I just slept with you. You also know that there is no girl in our Su family. You are very popular. It smells good when your aunt hugs you to sleep." Qin tapped her nose.
"I didn't say anything nonsense last night, did I?" Wen Jiu asked jokingly.
"You fell asleep right after drinking. You must be exhausted. Sleep a little longer, ok?" Xiao's gentle voice made her feel at ease and she fell asleep again in his embrace.
At dawn, Xiao got up carefully, and woke up from the wine without opening her eyes. At this time, Xiao Jiujiu said to her in her mind, what she said last night
She wanted to die. Why did she give this impression to her second uncle and second aunt as soon as she arrived? What should she do? They wouldn't think she was an alcoholic, right? She was a foodie and loved to drink. But she was not like that. She was just influenced by the atmosphere!
Well, that must be the case. Since her second aunt didn’t say anything, she would just pretend not to know!
"Can you just pretend and get over it? You don't even know that your second aunt cried half the night last night, hugged you, and kept asking you, what on earth are you going through? What makes you so uncomfortable? Can't you tell them? The first time your second aunt saw you, you could see that she loved you so much. I believe your second uncle must be sad too."
"What?" Wen Jiu was shocked
"You don't have to put on a forced smile. Isn't it easier to talk about some things and solve them together?"
"No, there are some things I can only solve by myself."
If nothing unexpected happens, Xuan Ling and the others will arrive today. She decided to go out to the city to pick them up.
My second aunt wanted to go with us, saying that she would take them to the city for a stroll. Wen Jiu didn't refuse, so she decided to spend the New Year with them.
"Here, take a look at this one. It's beautiful. Take this one and that one while you can." Xiao pulled her to buy things.
She was not interested in these hairpins, jades and the like, otherwise Qingli's treasure pavilion would have been emptied out by her and sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Second aunt, I don't like these. We have them at home. My grandmother and her family gave me most of them."
"No matter what, this is a gift from me, it's different, this is the first time I give it to you, don't refuse it." Xiao Shi didn't give Wen Jiu any reason to refuse
Hearing that there were two girls coming, Xiao bought more and more
On the training ground, Su Qichuan was also practicing with one. The more he used it, the more satisfied he became. He issued an order that all soldiers, regardless of their positions, should spar with each other. The winner would stand aside first, and then the strongest among the winners would be selected to form an elite assault team, and then they would issue crossbows.
Then there are the vanguards, infantry, and cavalry. We have the best of each. Now we are racing against time to strengthen our training and wipe out the Huns as soon as possible.
I had dinner outside and was looking out from the city wall. Soon I heard the sound of horse hooves.
Arrived
This batch has also arrived. She saw Xuanling Xuanxing, and they are all fine. She was very happy and stretched out her hand to wave
Xuan Ling saw it and ran to Wen Jiu at a faster speed, "Madam... Miss, I miss you so much. We have never been apart, wuwuwu."
When Wenjiu arrived here, she changed back into the ethnic women's clothing, which added an exotic style to her beauty.
"Miss has fulfilled her mission" Xuanxing has tears in her eyes
"Good boy, everything is great, we are here, let's go back first" Wen Jiu touched their faces
"Greetings, Princess." Xuan Ling and the other two knelt down to greet him, and the people behind them also knelt down.
"Get up, you are all good kids, let's go, we are home." Xiao's eyes were filled with tears, these guys are the same age as her son.
Everyone stood up and followed Xiao to the underground tunnel. After putting away their weapons, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It was a long and bumpy journey, but they finally got there.
Xuan Ling was looking for this thing everywhere. When he turned around, he saw that Xuan Ying was covered with things and his sight was blocked. He laughed and used his arm to knock Xuan Xing down. Xuan Xing looked over and smiled secretly.
I didn't expect that the owner of Biluo Villa would actually do such hard labor, hahahaha, I'll tell Sister Qingli about it when I get back.
Xuan Ying put down his things and didn't look at them. He knew they were laughing again. So what if they were so unbridled?
Su Qichuan came over and said thank you for your hard work, then asked someone to serve the food. Although they didn't drink alcohol at noon, they were still served wine as a treat.
"Don't worry, auntie, I won't drink anymore," Wen Jiu said quickly.
"Okay, then eat more. I didn't enjoy it well yesterday, so you must eat well today."
"Miss, it's delicious!" Xuan Ling is just a greedy girl.
"Marshal, a letter has been received"
"What letter? Let me see it." Su Qichuan took the letter and was about to open it. His heart was in his throat. It couldn't be about his grandmother, could it?
But looking at the expression on her second uncle's face, he seemed very happy. That was not the case. She was scared to death.
"I advise you to find a chance to tell them, otherwise they will be very sad when they find out." Xiao Jiujiu's voice sounded again.
"Hey, why does this letter smell so familiar?"
"What do you mean? You can still smell it? Are you crazy?" Wen Jiu said in disbelief.
"It's true, I can almost smell it, Zhao Keke," Xiao Jiujiu blurted out.
"No way, why is it her? She wouldn't have found out that I'm not in Cheng'en Temple, would she?" Wen Jiu asked Xiao Jiujiu
"No one in the capital has discovered it. If she did, it would be something that cannot be underestimated."
"What do you mean?" Just ask
"Think about it, none of the forces in the capital have discovered you, how did she know about you? I believe your aunt-in-law won't tell you, how could it be such a coincidence?"
"You mean she came to me twice? Including the time with Xiaoxiang?"
“It’s very likely.”
"She's really fast," Wen Jiu narrowed his eyes.
"Why are you so happy, uncle?" Wen Jiu asked
"Miss Zhao from the Huangshang Zhao family came to donate military rations. This happens every year, but why did she donate twice this year?" Su Qichuan said with a smile
"Twice?" Wen Jiu asked
"Yes, she always did it once in previous years, either before or in the middle of the year." Su Qichuan was still sighing at Zhao's kindness when he warmed up his wine and asked, "Is the grain allocated by the court enough every year?"
"How can it be enough? Sometimes we only have one quarter, sometimes two, and the rest is donated by the Zhao family girl. We also have land to grow crops," said Su Qichuan
"Why don't you want food?" Wen Jiu asked
"It's not easy for the court to collect taxes. If we don't want the people to be taxed more, we should plant as much as we can, and it will also help us stay healthy." Su Qichuan's attitude of serving the country and the people hurt Wen Jiu.
She decided to speak out now. "Uncle and aunt, I'm sorry, there's something I've been hiding from you." She knelt on the ground, warming the wine.
"Good girl, Jiu'er, hurry up and get up. What can't we talk about nicely?" Xiao quickly pulled her up. Seeing that she couldn't get up, Su Qichuan asked, "Is it related to the General's Mansion?"
My second uncle is so smart
"Yes"
"What's the matter? Get up and tell me." Su Qichuan felt sorry for her and was afraid that her knees would be swollen from kneeling.
Xuan Ling and Xuan Xing both knelt down. Although they didn't know what happened, they had to kneel down since the young lady knelt down.
"Let me kneel down and tell you. I received a letter on the way here saying that my grandmother was poisoned at the palace banquet."
"What?" the couple exclaimed in unison
"The poison has been resolved, and grandma is no longer in danger. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would worry. But I am a little dissatisfied. Why is it that the court does not have enough food to ensure that every soldier has enough food and clothing when you are guarding the border? You are also required to be self-reliant. Without Coco's help, you may even face starvation." Wen Jiu's words revealed his dissatisfaction with Emperor Yuan.
