Dream Hua Embers Records

"How is the situation in the city?" Yan Luhu asked.

"It's pretty smooth. The people are safe and secure, and there are no disturbances. It's just that prices are rising, shops are closed, and people's livelihood is becoming more and more difficult." Yan Qihao answered with a bow.

"As long as the porridge shop is still open, I'm afraid there will be no serious problems. I'll ask Kang Yan to issue an edict to ask the pawn shop to operate as usual."

"Will he agree?"

"Hmph! As long as it involves the livelihood of ordinary people, he will not refuse." Yan Luhu asked again, "How is the matter of Genkuo going?"

"It's faster than expected. Except for Kang Yan who destroyed the Ru kiln porcelain, only the map of the Imperial Academy was destroyed by arson."

"Huh! This is because we are afraid that we will get the maps of the states and counties and threaten half of them!"

"Yeah...but our country is vast and sparsely populated. Now that we have swallowed the land east of Hebei, we have been busy for several years. Even if the original people of Henan are released to Zhao, the number of Han people in our country is already several times that of our daughters." Straightforward, within a few years, I'm afraid the emperor has no intention of annexing Henan."

"Exactly, the southerners are treacherous and cunning. We are not afraid of fighting bravely, but we can't fight wits. It's better to let them take care of themselves. We only need to collect New Year's coins. It saves worry and benefits. Why not do it? What's more, the southerners are soft-boned, afraid of death and interested in profit, when we want to send our troops to the south, we are not afraid that we will not find someone who is willing to sell us information, just a mere map, it will not trouble us."

Yan Qihao nodded, "Uncle Wang is right."

"But those Hanlins are so bold, we can't let them go easily, we have to give them some strength!" Yan Luhu was angry.

Yan Qihao shook his head, "A total of thirteen members of the Imperial Academy and seven servants from the map office of the Imperial Academy have been buried in the sea of ​​fire together."

Yan Luhu was stunned, and hummed softly, "It's cheaper for them..."

The two of them were silent for a moment, as if they couldn't figure out how to evaluate the matter.

Yan Luhu asked with a smile, "You brought Kang Yan here so recklessly, have you thought about what to do next?"

Yan Qihao smiled awkwardly, "My nephew is reckless, please ask Uncle Wang for advice."

"Tell me what you think first."

"The current plan is to push the boat along the way. Let's say to the outside world that we invite Zhao Suzong to a banquet and play ball, and to enjoy the lanterns on the Lantern Festival. Before the Lantern Festival, all supplies can be completed. After that, we will need people, and Zhao Suzong doesn't have to go back."

"But there is no owner in the city these days, so there will be no chaos?"

"It would be the best if Emperor Suzong of Zhao could issue an order to comfort the people. If not, then the Daliang Mansion would issue an announcement to falsely preach the imperial decree."

"Who do you plan to let represent the government?"

"What does Uncle Wang think?" Yan Qihao chuckled.

"The butcher Zhang Guochang?"

"Exactly!" Yan Qihao clapped his palms and smiled, "You and I will establish a new king in the future, so it's better to lay the groundwork in advance."

"I'm afraid that before the Lantern Festival, the matter of receiving Hebei cannot be settled."

Yan Qihao shook the bag in his hand, "With this, the progress will be much faster, plus the emperor has sent the eighth brother to assist, there shouldn't be any problem."

Yan Luhu nodded, "You're really good! You got that Kang Yan out without discussing with Uncle Wang."

Yan Qihao heard that Yan Luhu's words had a sense of resentment, and hurriedly bowed his knees and bowed down, "My nephew was angry for a while and acted recklessly, please forgive me, Uncle Wang."

"Then the porcelain from Ru Kiln is that good?" Yan Luhu snorted.

"It's just...Yin'er and Yingge like it." Yan Qihao mumbled.

Yan Luhu shook his head and said, "It's time for you to continue. It's a virtue not to be lustful, but there is no woman in the family. It will always cause people to criticize."

Yan Qihao didn't make any excuses, he just answered "Yes" in a low voice.

"Xiao Langjun, are you done washing?" Agu stood outside the door, listening to the movement inside with his body turned sideways.He stood in the snow, shivering even though he was wrapped in a felt robe.

"Not yet—" Yan Yin elongated her voice and replied, "Don't wait at the door, what should you do!"

"It's been so long, the water is going to be cold, you'll get sick if you freeze it carefully." Agu persuaded again.

"Go away! It's annoying..." Yan Yin's tone became a little impatient.

"What are you doing?!" Seeing this scene, Yan Qihao was a little sullen.

"My lord!" Agu hastily bowed and saluted, "Xiao Langjun is taking a bath, so don't let anyone see him."

"Nonsense! How can he take a bath without anyone around him? Why don't people watch it? Haven't you seen him giving him medicine?"

Agu was startled, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee, "My lord, Mr. Xiao Lang has been refusing to take the medicine..."

Before Agu finished speaking, Yan Qihao kicked open the door.

The inside of the house was in a mess, the water in the tub splashed everywhere, Yan Yin was wrapped in a sheet, and was in a hurry to put on her clothes.

"What are you messing around with?!" Yan Qihao said angrily.

Yan Yin was startled, she stopped what she was doing, she just wrapped the sheet tightly around her body, she didn't speak or salute, she just stood sideways.

Seeing that he was so rude, Yan Qihao became even angrier, rushed forward and threw Yan Yin on the bed.

Yan Yin pulled the quilt over her body, and shrank into the tightness of the bed.

"Let father look at the injury." Yan Qihao said while tugging at Yan Yin.

"No! You go away!" Yan Yin struggled desperately, while shrinking her body tightly to the corner of the bed.

"How do you talk to the father?!" Yan Qihao shouted in a deep voice, and casually pulled out the whip behind him.

Yan Yin's eyes immediately dimmed, and she stopped what she was doing.

"Get out!" Yan Yin said in a low voice.

Yan Qihao frowned, and was about to raise his horsewhip when he heard the sound of the door closing, and looked back, only to realize that it was Agu who was standing at the door just now, and Yan Yin's words were addressed to him.

Yan Qihao turned around and saw that Yan Yin had torn off the restraints on her body, she was lying on the bed naked, exactly the same posture as when she was beaten that day.

The wound on the buttock has closed, but it is slightly red and swollen.Yan Qihao touched it lightly with his hand, and it was slightly hot, after all, it was still a little inflamed.

"Why didn't you take the medicine? Doesn't it hurt?" Yan Qihao's voice was still sullen.

Yan Yin's muffled voice came, "When it hurts, no one asks, but when I ask, it doesn't hurt anymore..."

"What's that?" Yan Qihao frowned.

"truth."

Yan Qihao was so choked that he couldn't speak, he was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to speak.

"Is the father unwilling to listen to the truth? As long as the father is willing to listen, I can tell a lie, but I don't know if the father wants to hear me say that it hurts or not." Yan Yin's voice was flat, not like she was deliberately irritating , but this is really not pleasing to the ear.

Yan Qihao dropped the whip and patted it with his palm, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Yan Yin didn't move, and she didn't cry out for pain, but her voice was flat and nasal.

Yan Qihao was furious, he waved his palms and wanted to hit again, but his heart softened when he saw the scars, he turned to look for the medicine, but saw a jade pendant with deep purple tassels was placed upright in the middle of the table.

"what is this?"

Yan Yin didn't raise her head, "It was given to me by Puhan, a birthday present."

When Yan Qihao heard Yan Yin mentioning Puhan, he became angry again, and swept the jade pendant to the ground with a wave of his palm, "If it wasn't for these playthings, Puhan is still here."

The jade pendant hit the copper ring of the wooden barrel and fell to the ground. The lower end of the tassel was broken, and the ten feet and body of the birthday star, the two children and the deer were separated.

Yan Qihao leaned over to pick up the two pieces of jade pendants, feeling a little dazed, looked up at Yanyin, only to see him turn his head to look at him with tears in his eyes.
