Chapter 210 Retreat

Qi Mengtang smiled: "I understand Brother Lu's thoughts. My father said, whether to quarrel every day is war or peace, my father said... Even if it is a peace negotiation, this year, next year? The north suffered disasters, and the people of Beiyi did not eat Yes, we have to ask for it. If we don’t give it, we will be beaten.”

"But if there is no disaster in the north, there is a harvest, and it is a good year, and they have enough food, they will beat us even more."

"Helian Yao is an ambitious person." He glanced at Su Nancheng, hesitant to speak.

"Mengtang just said it." Su Nancheng said.

"My father said that He Lianyao made my Dayuan princess a great concubine, not because some people in the court said they wanted to live in peace with us. He has greater ambitions. He wants to annex us. Hateful There are still so many people who can't see through it, why don't they send troops!"

Qi Mengtang is the youngest, he is loved by his family, but he is still bloody.

Su Nancheng associates with a lot of people, real and fake, each with their own needs.

But there are only two true friends of the same age.

Lu Ziqing seems to be romantic and unrestrained, but he can see clearly.Qi Mengtang is impulsive, fast-talking, but also bloody.

This is not easy.

"Mengtang is right. Even if we want to negotiate peace, what bargaining chip do we have? Since ancient times, the imperial court that has only negotiated peace, which one is not..." Su Nancheng shook his head: "Even if it is to seek peace, it must be won first, unfortunately ……such a pity."

He raised his glass, and the two also raised their glasses with a sigh, colliding with each other and drank this glass of wine that was destined to be bitter.

Maybe it's because they talked a lot, but this time they drank a lot.

"Seventh Young Master is back, did you drink too much? Can you help me?" The servant in the gatehouse of the Hou's Mansion came out and smiled apologetically.

Cheng Ming said, "No need, I'll just support you."

The boy hurriedly nodded and bowed.

Su Nancheng wasn't that drunk, but he didn't want to talk much.

After being helped back to Wutong Courtyard, he said, "Go to Dongmei's."

In the past few months, he has neglected Dongmei a little bit.It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I don't have time.

The house is not as big as my own, but it is also cozy.

Wearing a light pink jacket, Dongmei came out to greet her at the door.

Su Nancheng didn't say anything, just took her hand and entered the room.

"Did you drink too much, sir? Can someone bring you the hangover soup?" Dongmei helped him to sit down.

Su Nancheng held her in his arms: "Master misses you."

Dongmei blushed: "Yes."

"Huh, what? Now that my status is different, I can talk about love." Su Nancheng teased her.

Of course Dongmei was embarrassed to say so, she just picked up the hot tea and said, "Let's have a sip first."

Su Nancheng drank it with her hand: "There's no need to prepare the hangover soup, I won't wake up. How about asking sister Dongmei to serve you when you're so drunk?"

Dongmei blushed even more when he said this: "Young master, why are you making fun of this slave..."

Su Nancheng smiled: "Ask someone to serve some hot soup, and then go to bed earlier."

Dongmei nodded and asked someone to ask for soup.

There is no small kitchen in Wutongyuan, so you need to go to the big kitchen.

But today's Seventh Young Master can deliver everything he wants very quickly.

Not anymore.

After drinking the hot soup, I took a few bites and then washed and went to bed.

I haven't seen Dongmei for a long time, and I feel relaxed and comfortable when I see you again.

I still like the little beauties who are soft and will not refuse and don't know how to resist.

The bullied was tearful and trembling all over.

I also look at you with a pair of tearful eyes, with reproach and full of friendship.

It makes people want to bully and bully again.

So, the poor little beauty Dongmei cried aloud when she was bullied.

I don't know how long it took, but it finally calmed down.

Su Nancheng stroked her arm with a hoarse voice: "Don't cry, my son doesn't look down on you in his heart, he only bullies you if he likes you."

He just thought that today's women, if they go too far with this kind of thing, will think that men don't treat them as individuals.Whether she thinks so or not, it's always good to appease her.

Dongmei replied yes, and asked someone to come in and take care of the wash.

After a long time, Su Nancheng hugged Dongmei, closed his eyes and said, "Tell your brother to go to the south after the next year. There are also some properties in the south."

"Well, the young master called him after that year."

"Maybe when we have to go to the south." Su Nancheng still closed his eyes: "If the Beiyi people come in... Tell me, will there be such a day?"

Dongmei's heart beat faster: "Doesn't it mean that the Beiyi people won't fight anymore?"

At that time, Dayuan lost Tingzhou Zhuozhou and a large piece of land.

It was also in exchange for the promise of the Beiyi people that there would be no war within a hundred years.

But who would believe this?

"I hope so." Su Nancheng knew that Dongmei didn't understand these things, so he just wanted to talk about it and resolve it.

"Do you know how miserable the people in the north are? If the severe drought continues, they may have to change their children."

"Your hometown belongs to Beiyi now, but that's where our Yuan people live. What kind of life are they doing now?" In today's era, officials don't treat ordinary people as human beings.

This is true in this country, and it is even more true for those who became slaves to the Northern Yi people.

I'm afraid, when they are not eating, they are all food.

Su Nancheng didn't know how much or what he had said, and gradually fell asleep.

Dongmei listened quietly with her eyes open.She also knew that the young master didn't ask her to give advice.The son just wanted to say.

As she listened, the thoughts in her heart were overwhelming.

My brother said that the situation outside was very bad.

But in the end, Dongmei grew up in the Hou Mansion, and she didn't experience those things.She is just a girl, but she has never been hungry or cold since she was a child.At most, it's because they don't eat well, and their clothes are average.

But this is much better than many people outside.

There are hundreds of servants in the Hou's mansion, who are serving in the Hou's mansion, in the village, in the shop, and in business in various places.

They all live in the Hou Mansion.

It is impossible for a poor girl and woman to suffer from hunger and cold.But where did the money come from?
The business is doing well, so why?

She thought, she is blessed, and life is easy with the young master.

The elder brother is also blessed. He can always do things for the young master, so he always has something to rely on.It's just that she doesn't understand the outside things. If there is a war, what will happen?
Of course, Su Nancheng had to arrange for his own people to go south for a way out.

However, he also told Cheng Kanghou about these things.

Just in case, in fact, Su Nancheng is not the only one in the capital who thinks this way.

Most of the officials are human beings.

There are not many who think of these.

If there is a war in the north, it is bound to be unstable. If there is a family business in the south, not to mention the way out in the future, it is necessary to stabilize the current life.

As expected, Cheng Kanghou also had this plan.

Seeing what Su Nancheng said, Cheng Kanghou was quite relieved.

He already valued Su Nancheng now, and he was even more satisfied to see him so farsighted.

"After the next year, your fourth uncle should also move around. He just happens to be in the south, and now he can be used. Your tenth brother is studying at a critical time. The White Deer Academy in Guzhou is very good. Your eighth brother, ninth brother, and tenth brother are both Go to school, study for three years, and then come back to take the exam."
