Jiayu Village of Red Mansions

Asked, but never asked. "Wang Wei said hesitantly.

Yucun smiled and said, "Brother Wang, it's okay to ask."

"Brother, I think you are not too young, and you have a long entourage by your side. I thought you already had a wife at home, but you didn't take it with you, but I have also seen it this year. Brother, you are still a bachelor." One, even my old man has a wife in my family! Brother, you are a dignified county magistrate, and you are so handsome, so you don't want to ask for a daughter-in-law?" Wang Wei asked suspiciously.

Yucun smiled upon hearing this, but did not speak.Raising the knife in his hand, he picked up the peeled rabbit skin under his hand, walked outside the door, and stuck it to the outer wall at once, said.

"Brother Wang, you gave me so many rabbits, the skins of the rabbits almost covered the wall." Yucun said from outside the door.

"Hey! I've saved enough, so I asked a craftsman to tan it for you to make a rabbit fur cloak. The winter in the north can freeze a person to death. Didn't you freeze your legs last year?" Wang Wei said.

"Yeah, it's almost winter again..." Hearing this, Yucun sighed pointedly.

"Hmph! Winter! That Ge Erdan goes south to plunder without food in winter. It's really not a thing! But with the front gate blocking it, it's just a few kittens who can come over. There are so many of us, how dare we be afraid?" No way! Didn’t you let those thieves succeed last year?” Wang Wei said.

"It's been five years. It's been five years since the Holy Majesty's last personal conquest. I'm afraid this winter will be difficult!" Five years is enough for that wolf-like nation to recuperate. Yucun frowned, chopping rabbit meat into pieces piece.

“来就来！我王威这辈子，最爱打架，一日不打就浑身不舒服，他葛尔丹来了他爷爷我一拳把他揍回去！”王威这么说着，自动自觉的Add firewood to the pot.

Scoop a large spoonful of solidified oil into the pan, and when the oil melts, put the cleaned rabbit meat into the pan and fry until it turns golden brown, take it out with a shovel, and scoop up the excess oil He came out and served it in another bowl, and scooped two scoops of water into the pot.Then put ginger slices and salt into the bowl of rabbit meat, put them on the grate in the pot, cover the pot, and told Wang Wei to add more firewood, and steam it on high heat.

"I hope!" Yucun said, looking at the sky outside the door, Galdan is coming, and his opportunity for Jia Yucun has also come!

In September of this year, Ge Erdan really led [-] cavalry to march eastward from Khobdor, along Kerulun and Dongxia, and threatened to borrow [-] Russian shotgun soldiers to attack on a large scale.For a while, the whole city of Boluohetun was under martial law, and Yucun received the battle report. There was a small-scale confrontation between Gubeikou and Xifengkou ahead. After sending out urgent reports, the Holy Majesty was furious after receiving the battle report, and ordered to recruit soldiers and horses on the spot. The garrison battalion of Boluohe Tun General Wang Wei was also included in the collection. Jia Hua wrote to the Holy Majesty to request to go out with the army. Boluo Hetun, recruiting and training new troops.

There was no sound of bells and drums, no sound of cannons, and on the empty school field outside the city, the soldiers of Boluohetun were lined up neatly about to set off. There were no complicated ceremonies, but they were equally solemn. The four hundred soldiers who were waiting to be dispatched held long guns , majestic.Yucun paid for it himself, and went to carry three large jars of wine, filled the coarse porcelain sea bowls, and distributed them to the soldiers.

Holding a sea bowl, Yucun faced all the soldiers and said, "Brothers! Ge Erdan is an ambitious wolf. Since he was defeated by our emperor five years ago, he has always been a thief. Only the brothers are protected from the harassment of the bandits. Now that the brothers are going to go to war, they can go to fight the bandits in a fair manner! Yucun Bucai once asked the Holy Master to go with him, but he was rejected unexpectedly and could not go with him. I am here to see off my brothers with this bowl of turbid wine! I wish you a triumphant return! Come on, brothers! Do it first as a respect!"

After finishing speaking, Yucun drank down the coarse porcelain sea bowl, and the liquor wet his clothes.

"Okay! Brother Jia is right! Brothers, drink up this bowl of wine!" Hearing Yucun's words, Wang Wei felt his blood boil, and he drank the bowl in his hand. "Brothers, don't destroy the traitor, I swear not to return it!"

The soldiers were all reddened by Wang Wei's words. Thinking of the brothers who died under the saber of Galdan's bandit this year, they drank it all and shouted loudly: "I will not kill the traitor, I will not return it!"

The sound of the bugle horns sounded, and Wang Wei bowed his hands to Yucun, turned around and jumped on the horseback, pointing the long knife in his hand at the sky, and shouted: "Let's go!"

In the northern part of Saibei, the cold wind was like a knife in October. Yucun watched the brothers who had been with him for more than a year go away, and clasped his hands in the direction in which the soldiers left, and did not let go for a long time.

In February of the following year, Yujia personally marched.

Zhang Tingyu and other ministers accompanied them. On this day, the weather was gloomy, and it seemed that it was going to snow. Fearing that the road would be blocked by heavy snow, the Holy Lord ordered the army to rush on the road overnight, trying to reach Boluo Hetun as soon as possible.

In the silent night, Zhang Tingyu was summoned by the Holy Majesty, and Li Guangdi went to report the military situation ahead, and then stayed to speak.

"Ting Yu, we're almost at Boluo Hetun!" The Holy Majesty said as he held the stove in his hand.

"Return to Your Majesty, at this speed, we will arrive in the middle of the night." Zhang Tingyu replied.

"En." The Holy Majesty nodded, closed his eyes slightly, and said, "Jia Hua is the county magistrate of Boluohetun? I remember that you and him are Jinshi in the same class."

"Return to Your Majesty, yes." Zhang Tingyu said respectfully.

"Hey—you all step back!" The Holy Majesty sighed, closed his eyes, and ordered.

Amidst the sound of the wheels turning, the army marched towards the Boluo River. At around [-]:[-] pm, it really snowed heavily. The north wind howled and rolled up the cotton curtains on the carriage, and snowflakes like goose feathers flew into the carriage. It fell on the sleeping face of the Holy Majesty.

"Um, where are you?" The Holy Majesty was awakened by the coldness, and asked in a daze.

"Return to the Holy Lord, and we will go to the Boluo River Tuncheng immediately." Li Dequan, the chief eunuch serving with the army, replied.

"Well, send an order, when you arrive at the city, the whole army is stationed, don't enter the city to disturb the people." The saint said.

After a while, the team stopped, and a soldier reported from outside the carriage:

"Report——Report to the Holy Majesty, Jia Hua, the magistrate of Boluohetun County, will greet you outside the city."

At that time, the Holy Majesty had already changed into his military uniform, got off the chariot and mounted his horse and led his ministers into the city.

When walking down the city, the Holy One was a little dissatisfied and said to the ministers beside him: "I have ordered not to disturb the people, why did I inform Jia Hua?"

Hearing what the Holy Majesty said, Li Guangdi quickly explained: "Report to the Holy Majesty, listen to the Holy Majesty's order, no one will notify the magistrate of Boluohetun County that the army will arrive tonight."

The Holy One nodded upon hearing this, and led the way down the city.It was originally planned to arrive at Boluohetun tomorrow, but because of fear of heavy snow blocking the road, it was only one day in advance. Unexpectedly, Jia Yucun still knew in advance.

The wind and snow were getting bigger and bigger, and at a glance, the city wall could hardly be seen, only the flickering lanterns on the city wall in the dark night showed that the Boluo River Tun was close at hand.

Soon, the Holy Majesty's figure appeared in front of the city gate, and Yucun saluted, "Your Excellency, Jia Hua, welcomes the Holy Majesty."

Looking at Jia Yucun who was about to become a snowman in front of him, the Holy Master said: "Get up, it's midnight, your scouts are good, lead the way."

Yucun heard the words and jumped on his horse. Because the wind and snow were getting heavier, the Holy Majesty didn't stay on the road much. Because there was no one on the street in the middle of the night, he galloped all the way to the magistrate's county government.

In front of the county government office, Sheng dismounted, and Yucun stepped sideways to give way. He inadvertently glanced into the crowd, and met a pair of familiar and unfamiliar eyes. This glance... Wannian.

No.20 six times

Looking back, Yucun turned around and led the emperor and the princes and ministers into the backyard to rest. Boluohetun was poor, the county government was small, and the rooms were limited. Yucun gave up the master bedroom to the emperor, and packed out the east and west rooms to make room for the county government. Come out, and then reluctantly arrange people down.After everything was arranged properly, it was already three o'clock at night, and Yucun went back to rest.

Since the bedroom was given up to the Holy Majesty, the backyard of the county government office was full of people, and for a while, Yucun, the official master, had no place to live. Fortunately, the Holy Majesty and all the ministers carried their clothes, bedding and other things with them, so Yucun did not need to prepare them. There is no shortage of bedding.

Yucun temporarily pulled a piece of cloth to separate a small space in the study, and built a wooden board between the two walls, just big enough for one person to lie on, while Xi Shun'er slept on the other side outside the curtain.

"Dongdong——" Yucun just lay down when there was a knock on the door.Who is coming back to look for him at this time?For some reason, Yucun felt as if he had been bluntly hit in the heart suddenly, feeling dull pain.

"Xi Shun'er, don't open the door!"

"My lord, why are you here?"

Almost at the same time, Yucun and Xishuner spoke together.

"Xi Shun'er, you go out first." A solemn voice said.

After a sound of opening and closing the door, the atmosphere in the study suddenly froze. The cold wind rattled the doors and windows, and the dilapidated house made the sound of being overwhelmed.Not long after, Yucun heard footsteps approaching him outside the curtain, step by step, as if stepping on his heart, the oil lamp in the study was lit, looking at the shadow on the curtain swaying with the candlelight, Yucun Suddenly said:

"The prince is here at this time, but what's the matter?"

Hearing this, Shui Zhan withdrew the hand that almost touched the curtain, and said hesitantly, "Yucun... how have you been this year?"

"Please worry about the prince, I'm fine." The heart that seemed to be jumping out just now gradually calmed down, Yucun said flatly.

"This time the Holy Majesty's personal conquest, he intends to set up camp in Boluohetun as a command post." Shui Zhan sat down on the chair used to press the curtains in Yucun and said, separated by a curtain, the two sat opposite each other.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best to help you so that the Holy Majesty won't feel uncomfortable." Yucun said sternly, sitting up from the bed, feeling a little cold, got up and put the rabbit fur cloak hanging beside the bed on his body.
