Dream Hua Embers Records

Yan Qihao felt regretful in his heart. Over the past few days, he had supervised and blamed Gen Kuo, and he had been worrying about chaos in the city. A string in his heart was tense, and he couldn't help being a little restless. He also thought about the thick carpet on the ground. That jade should not be broken, but unexpectedly it was broken.

Yan Qihao felt sorry, and took a closer look at the jade pendant in his hand. The birthday star, child, sika deer and crane were auspicious patterns for celebrating birthdays, but they didn't look like they were for children. He suddenly understood, "This is for Daddy's birthday Is it? It's hard for Yin'er to remember that today is Daddy's birthday." Yan Qihao said softly.

Yan Yin suddenly turned her head, buried her face on the bed, and said nothing.

I don't want to admit it, because I said something angry just now, but I don't want to deny it, after all, my father finally guessed what I was thinking... My father has a quick mind, but unfortunately, my hands are faster than my brain, and it is still a step late. Unable to recover to perfection... Yan Yin's heart throbbed slightly, because of Nayu and also because of Puhan.After all, this is the most important thing brought back from that trip.

Yan Qihao changed his mind again, and remembered that the day Puhan went was Yan Yin's birthday, and he suddenly understood what Yan Yin said, "That was given to me by Puhan, a birthday present." The meaning of that sentence was just to say , Puhan helped Yan Yin to buy this piece of jade, it was a birthday present.For a while, Yan Qihao looked at the piece of broken jade, not knowing what to say.

Yan Yin waited for a long while, but did not hear Yan Qihao's voice, and finally couldn't help turning her face to the side, revealing one eye, and peeking.

I saw Yan Qihao was tying the upper half of the jade pendant to his belt.

"It's all broken, don't wear it..." Yan Yin said softly.

"If it's broken, Daddy likes it too."

"Don't...wear a broken jade pendant on your body, others will laugh at your father."

"Father will glue it on."

"That won't work! My mother said that jade with cracks can't protect people from disasters." As Yan Yin said, she was about to get up, only to realize that she was naked, and hurriedly pulled the quilt over her body, her small face was so ashamed flushed.

"Father doesn't need it to ward off disasters, it should be your father to ward off disasters for you." Yan Qihao smiled softly, took the ointment, and gently helped Yan Yin apply the medicine.

After taking the medicine, Yan Qihao asked Yan Yin to stand on the bed again, helped him get dressed, and was about to admonish him to take good care of his body, but he heard Yan Yin speak first.

"The shop where I bought jade sells belts. I was looking for a 'Pearl Milled Golden Rooster and Baixi Characters Belt', but the shopkeeper said it was custom-made for Ouchi and could not be sold. But if I ordered another one, We have to wait for three months, so we won’t be able to catch up with the father’s birthday, so I bought this jade pendant... I heard from Agu that we will take everything in Zhao Guoda, so there will be this belt, right? Daddy can If you find it, consider it as a gift from me, because Puhan put all our money on that cabinet that day, and you have already bought it..."

When Yan Yin talked about Pu Han, she lowered her eyes, while talking, she began to undo the jade pendant on Yan Qihao's body.

Seeing that he was so unruly, Yan Qihao was about to raise his hand to stop him, when he heard Yan Yin murmuring, "You can't wear a broken jade pendant on your body, it's unlucky, if mother finds out, she will definitely blame me..."

Hearing the child mention Yingge, Yan Qihao froze, his raised hand froze there.

Yan Yin felt Yan Qihao's strangeness, raised her head, blinked her eyes, and said timidly, "I'm sorry... Father, I shouldn't call you 'Daddy'..."

Yan Qihao pressed Yan Yin tightly into his arms, stroked his back lightly, and said softly, "Don't spoil your body in the future, and obediently take medicine every day, you know?"

"I don't want Agu to touch me, I want my father to give me medicine!" Yan Yin acted like a baby.

"But my father has to stay in Daliang City every day..." Yan Qihao sighed, "Well, I just come back every night."

Yan Yin thought about it seriously for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Will it be too hard... I don't want it, I can apply the medicine myself, after I've been busy for a while, as long as my father remembers how many feather arrows he owes me." .” After finishing speaking, he wrinkled his nose and smiled slyly.

Yan Qihao frowned slightly, and the broken magnets from that place appeared again before his eyes, I don't know how many of them can be pasted up, and he has already sent people to search for Ru kiln porcelain in various places in the city, I don't know how many can be found...

Seeing that it is almost the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but the weather shows no sign of getting warmer.It has snowed for several days, but not too much. The snow, crushed ice and mud are mixed together, turning into a mess during the day, and freezing into solid ice at night.

Zhu'er was persistent, and casually picked up the bowl of plum blossom soup cakes in front of her, unable to swallow.

Zi Xiao persuaded from the side: "Miss, you should eat more anyway, and you eat so little every meal, what if you get sick from starvation?"

Zhu'er smiled, took a sip of the soup, and asked, "How's it going outside?"

"It's not like that..." Zi Xiao was unwilling to say.

"I heard... the Yuan army is asking for food?"

"Well, it is said that the white rice, beans and millet were transported away, a total of three thousand stones."

"Is there enough food in the city? Can the porridge market on the four walls still open?"

"The porridge shop is still open. I heard that it is enough. It's just that there are more and more people getting porridge. Many people line up in the middle of the night and can't get a bowl of porridge until noon. The emperor ordered more than a dozen more porridge places. The market is still in short supply. It is often for a bowl of porridge, and the head is beaten to the ground. I heard that there was another order from the previous Daliang Mansion, saying that one day the men should get the porridge, and the next day the women and children would get the porridge. , each porridge field is staggered, so that the strong can avoid bullying the weak, so that women and children can also drink porridge."

Zhu'er sneered, "These men can't beat Yuan soldiers in battle, but they are very powerful when they bully their own women..."

"Isn't it!" Zi Xiao responded, "There are also those officers and soldiers who sell food and salaries, and bully the market. They are useless when defending the city, but when they go to Longevity Mountain to grab firewood, they are very capable!"

Zhu'er shook her head, not wanting to continue this topic, "Then, is there enough food in our house?"

"I heard from the housekeeper that although it is a bit tight, it is still enough, and the emperor has issued an order to let the warehouses and pawnshops open as usual. Although the rice and grain stores are closed, there are still more than a dozen government-run shops. Tiaoguan rice, although the price of rice is much higher than before, it is still available.”

Zhu'er lowered her head, looked at the two dishes on the table, three boiled melons and water-basin bream, the portions were small, even though they were placed on the gorgeous Jun porcelain dishes, they still looked a bit shabby, and she sighed in her heart, "Our house The world is already like this, how can those poor people live?"

Zi Xiao also let out a long sigh, "Yes... I heard that all the fish, shrimp and turtle shells in the Bian River have been fished out, and even flowers, leaves, bark, duckweed, vines and so on have been eaten up. Some people boiled drum skins, vests, and leather tubes to eat... I heard from the boy in the front yard that there were people who died of cold and starvation everywhere on the road, and many people sold cat and mouse meat, but our Daliang How many cats and mice can there be in the city? I heard that they are all pretending to be human flesh! Daliang Mansion has killed a group of profiteers who sell human flesh, but they still can’t stop them.”

"Father didn't come back today?"

"No, from what I said earlier, the prince sent someone back to bring some big woolen clothes and a hand stove. It seems that he intends to stay in the palace permanently. Now that the emperor is not here, King Hui and the prince are not here, so only our prince and Yu are involved in government affairs. The king and the eldest prince are presiding over it! I guess they are too busy to get away."

"Hmm... The emperor left the suburbs quietly, I don't know if he did it voluntarily? Or was he taken captive by the Yuan army? Is there any danger..."

"Oh! Miss, don't worry so much. This is something we women should worry about. Anyway, the emperor's decree followed one after another. He also said that he would play ball with those tartar princes when the weather cleared up. The prince and Zaifu didn't see anything wrong, so it must be good."

"But, at this time, how can the emperor have the leisure to play ball and watch the lanterns with those tartars?"

"Don't mention the lantern appreciation, it will make you mad!" Zi Xiao said indignantly, "This morning, people from Daliang Manor came to our house and took away all the lanterns in the house! They said it was the Lantern Festival. They will hold lantern festivals at the city head and the Qing Palace. In previous years, the golden lanterns, glazed lanterns, green feather lanterns, and flying fairy lanterns hung in Xuandemen during the Lantern Festival have long been taken away, even the lanterns in Taoist palaces, Buddhist temples, and shops , and searched all of them, isn’t this riding on our necks and shit!”

Zhu'er smiled miserably: "Man is a sword, I am a fish, that's how it is..."

"That's right! I also heard that the mansions of the so-called four traitorous officials were all looted by the Tatars, and then the common people rushed in and tore them down. I heard that the Tatars Zi Zhuan stared at the collection of Ru kiln porcelain, but he didn't know why."

Zhu Er glanced at the small Ru kiln censer on the table, a blooming green lotus, which is not stained by the mud, can such an ethereal and holy flower, in the future, be able to remain pure in the world of mortals?Pearl's hand moved towards the sachet again.
