Twelve steamed buns

The days are living like this, and the winter solstice is approaching in a blink of an eye.Seeing Twelve's spirit getting more and more depressed, Liu Wuyao, who went out to collect herbs, has not yet returned.Mu Hanqing didn't say anything, but everyone around him could clearly feel his anxiety, but he didn't know which side was more anxious.

This day Twelve woke up groggy, and saw his master standing on the bedside looking at him with a worried expression on his face. Seeing that he woke up, he quickly took the decoction that had been put aside, and felt it with his hands. Temperature, and then helped him up and planned to feed him to drink himself.

"Hmm...Master?"

"Come on, drink this bowl of medicine. You had a fever in the middle of the night last night. Drinking this medicine will make you feel better."

"...Fever?" No wonder I felt weak all the way.

"Yes, so you drink this medicine quickly and get healthy soon." Xiao Peiyang coaxed him to drink the medicine like a child.

Twelve is not a coquettish person, he gulped down the medicine in a daze, and Xiao Peiyang stuffed a candied fruit into his mouth in a daze, it took a while for his head to clear up .Looking out at the sky, I'm afraid it's almost noon, so I looked at Xiao Peiyang who was beside me suspiciously:

"Master? Shouldn't you be going out to do errands at this time? Why are you still in the yard?"

Just as Xiao Peiyang put down the medicine bowl, he didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh when he heard this: "How dare you ask me? If it wasn't for your sudden fever, I wouldn't have to stay here to guard you..."

Twelve frowned: "It's just a minor illness, it will be cured soon, master, you should go and deal with the matter...the matter of being attacked has not yet been resolved..."

Xiao Peiyang couldn't help but lowered his head and bit Twelve's neck, and said: "The emperor is not in a hurry...the eunuchs are in a hurry...I told you not to think about these things anymore, and take care of yourself when you are sick. I am here to accompany you...How about it? , Are you still sleepy? Do you want to sleep again?"

Twelve was bitten by Xiao Peiyang, and he couldn't help shrinking his neck. He shook his head after hearing this, and said, "I've had enough sleep, and I'll be tired if I sleep any more."

Xiao Peiyang pulled the quilt up for Twelve, and said softly: "Then the master will chat with you? Or do you want to eat something?"

Twelve glanced at Xiao Peiyang when he heard the words, he hesitated and spoke, with a faint desire in his voice: "Then master, please tell me about the progress of the recent attack... Sitting like this every day, Why don't you let me think about something, it's good for children, isn't it?"

Xiao Peiyang choked with anger, finally sighed, and agreed to him: "You are just working hard, and you can't stop doing things... Forget it, let me tell you... The investigation is almost done, and I have something in my heart. result……"

After Twelve heard this, he was pleasantly surprised. He thought Xiao Peiyang would continue to reject him, but he didn't expect to let go this time.

"Thank you, master, for your grace!"

Xiao Peiyang gave Twelve a funny look, and said: "Let me tell you about the Wang Wu you found last time... I have already ordered Wang Wu to be brought up after we came back last time, that guy said In fact, it is similar to what we heard... But the point is not here, the point is... the few ingots of silver he hid in his home are all official silver... every ingot is engraved with Hua Yuan Three years..."

Twelve was so surprised that he sat up and said, "Three years in Huayuan? But isn't this year the second year in Huayuan? It has not been three years since he was enthroned, so why should we wait until the next year for the official money in the third year of Huayuan?" Is it just starting to circulate...is this...?" Twelve already had a vague guess in his heart.

Xiao Peiyang hugged him back and covered him with the quilt: "Well... just like what you think, this time's incident is probably caused by Ye Hua."

Twelve thought for a moment in silence, and said: "He wants to damage the name of the Rueqing Villa, hit the villa's business, and then take back the salt and iron business?"

Xiao Peiyang nodded: "Well, I guess it's more than that. If the Rueqing Villa collapses and he takes over, the treasury may not have to worry about it in his lifetime..."

Twelve frowned: "But in the area of ​​salt and iron, the official family occupies the majority, and the annual tax paid by the Unfeeling Villa is even more... Even if he takes over from the official family, it will not be good for the court's face to compete with the outside world." Those merchants robbing, in the end, most of the resources of the Unfeeling Villa will still fall into the folks, and let those aristocratic families divide up... What is the purpose of doing this today?"

A sneer sneered at the corner of Xiao Peiyang's mouth, and he said: "If Xing Liyang didn't drop by my side this trip, I would still be fooled!"

Twelve asked cautiously: "Did Master Xing say anything?"

Xu Shi had been sitting upright, Xiao Peiyang was a little tired, moved back, leaned against the head of the bed, and lazily said: "Xing Liyang is going to Beijing this trip, and Ye Hua issued a security order for them. They agreed, and rushed to reply..."

Twelve was no less astonished than Xiao Peiyang was at the time, he exclaimed and said: "Recruiting? But this has never happened since the founding of the ancestors... Besides, why did you send a summoning order to Jiuhua today?" ? No matter how you look at it, the Unfeeling Villa is more likely!"

Xiao Peiyang kissed Twelve's forehead: "His ambition is big, think again..."

After Twelve heard this, his eyeballs rolled, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration: "Today...does he want to attack Xixia?"

Together with this idea, the previous doubts seemed to be explained, and Twelve continued excitedly:

"The position of the Jiuhua faction is exactly at the border between our dynasty and Xixia, and to attack Xixia, the Jiuhua faction will become the key point, so it is necessary to recruit them. Only when they are recruited will they be convenient. Stockpile troops here.

And because he wants to attack Xixia, not to mention the new emperor has only been on the throne for three years. Before that, due to the stupidity of the previous emperor, the national treasury was already in short supply. If he rashly attacked Xixia at this time, he would be opposed by the whole country, so he had to use tactics to deal with it. Heartless Villa...

Then after the Ruthless Villa returns to the official family, we will mention the matter of attacking Xixia today. In this way, no matter whether it is an ordinary businessman or aristocratic family, there is no reason to object to the official's use of the name of preparing for war. Money... This can not only fill the national treasury, but also solve Xixia's worries. This trick is...excellent! "

Xiao Peiyang sneered: "Yeah...he is a powerful person, it seems that he also wants to be a good emperor, but he shouldn't have to...he shouldn't set his mind on the heartless villa!"

After the twelfth, the excitement was also full of worries at this time: "Master... then what are you going to do? It seems that the ups and downs are inevitable, and it's okay now. If we go to the southern border, we will not worry about it." If you don’t have a villa, then it will be dangerous.”

Xiao Peiyang comforted him and said: "Don't worry, you forgot? Yun Wan is still in our village... We will take Yun Wan with us when the time comes, he has to weigh this sister if he wants to do something... "

Twelve thought of this and wondered: "Since you are going to attack Xixia today, why do you plan to marry that Abe Chanyu? Isn't this pushing Yun Wan into the fire pit with your own hands?"

Xiao Peiyang snorted: "Do you think he is really willing to send his own sister out? It's just a cover... It's the same reason why he hasn't come to Yun Wan for a long time. He wants to send a fake princess to Xi Xia In the past, Yun Wan was asked to run outside to hide, since there are not many people who have seen the princess anyway, as long as Yun Wan does not go back to the palace easily, the people in the palace will not dare to speak nonsense, are they afraid of being exposed?"

Twelve suddenly realized: "After marrying the fake princess, if something happens to the princess in Xixia, then there will be a legitimate reason to attack Xixia... Princess Yunwan said that she will do what her ancestors failed to do today. ...Is it to attack Xixia and unify the Central Plains..."

Xiao Peiyang took Dai Twelve into his arms, and said: "Well...you should know the seriousness of the matter. I told you these things today for no other reason than to warn you. Before going to southern Xinjiang, I want you to stay in the village well, don't go out and run around... If Yehua finds out about your existence, he will definitely make a fuss about you... You know, you are me, Xiao Peiyang The biggest weakness in my life..."

Twelve blushed upon hearing this, and Xiao Peiyang's words were a disguised confession to him, but after a while, he still said: "Master, Twelve just hopes that I can help the master to do something. Staying in the courtyard all day without incident, Twelve is really uneasy."

Xiao Peiyang was about to explode, but he seemed to think of something, and looked at Twelve with a smile: "Your words... are you blaming the master for not being by your side, making you bored?"

Twelve blushed when he heard this, and said, "No...it's not like this...Master...Twelve didn't blame you..."

Xiao Peiyang still smiled: "Okay, I've been really busy with this matter recently, and there are clues to the murderer's whereabouts... When the master is found, he will definitely stick to you all the time, so he won't let you be lonely... How about it? "

Twelve wanted to say that was not the case, but seeing Xiao Peiyang's handsome face with a smile like a spring breeze, he finally nodded and responded in a low voice: "...um."

Seeing that he agreed, Xiao Peiyang smiled even brighter, and simply got into the bed and hugged Twelve tightly.Just like this, the two leaned quietly for a while, and after a while, Xiao Peiyang suddenly put his hand on Twelve's belly, stroked it lightly, laughed, and said in a low voice, "You said...we What's a good name for the child?"

Twelve Yi was stunned, he had never thought of this question before, at this moment he tilted his head and thought for a while, and finally said honestly: "Master, you can call him whatever you want..."

Xiao Peiyang took another bite of Twelve and said, "You and I are with the child, of course we have to take it together."

Twelve wrinkled his nose slightly, the master has been biting people more and more recently: "But I don't have any ideas...Master, the child's generation... Is there a word on the family tree of the Xiao family?"

Xiao Peiyang frowned: "Yes...but it's too vulgar, I don't want to take it like that..."

Twelve asked curiously, "What is it?"

Xiao Peiyang replied unhappily: "Yong..."

Twelve didn't understand, so he thought about it carefully and asked, "It's pretty good, what's so vulgar?"

Xiao Peiyang didn't want to discuss this any more, and said a little shamelessly: "I say vulgar is vulgar...Anyway, I definitely wouldn't call this word for a child..."

Twelve choked, and was about to say something more, when he heard Manager Yang's respectful voice from outside the yard: "Master, Doctor Liu is back..."
