my wife is wonderful

Chapter 278 Green Hi is back

When Geng Xingshuang arrived at the porridge shed, pots of meat porridge had just been cooked, and the servants were preparing to ladle out the porridge. There was already a long queue outside the porridge shed. Geng Xingshuang looked at the people queuing outside, with a smile on their faces. They looked sad, but many people were chatting with each other and were in no hurry to push forward.

"What are they talking about?" Geng Xingshuang asked Jinbao, who was already rolling up his sleeves and preparing to help scoop the porridge.

Jinbao listened carefully and relayed: "Some people are saying that it snowed heavily last night, and it stopped snowing at dawn, and the sun came out, and it cleared up on the first day of the new year. This is a good sign."

"Some said they thought that last year's New Year period would be difficult and they might starve to death, but they didn't expect that not only would they not starve to death, but they would also be able to eat meat porridge on the first day of the new year. I hope that this year the weather will be smooth and the Zhenyao Army will win a great victory. He beat Yao Mu so much that he didn't dare to step into the territory of Daning again. He hoped to cook every meal at home this winter, with rice and vegetables, and if he could have a few kilograms of meat and a piece of fish during the Chinese New Year, then he would have it again. It couldn't be better."

……

Jinbao relayed the story and asked Geng Xingshuang, "Girl, what they said should be possible."

Their hopes are so simple, they just want to have enough food and clothing, but they are not simple, because this is the northernmost city in Daning. As soon as autumn comes, there will be friction with the Yaomu people, small battles and big battles. Not uncommon either.

"If General Zhu and the others can capture Gaofeng this time and the imperial court sends troops to garrison it, Cangcheng will be able to live in peace for at least a few years."

The distance between Gaofeng and Yaocheng, the capital of Yaomu, is even farther than Cangcheng. Although there are other small cities in Yaomu between the two places, there is no necessary passage through Gaofeng and the most important supply point. Yaomu If you want to send troops to attack Cangcheng again, you have to bypass Gaofeng and travel through the desert. The difficulty will rise sharply. If the Zhenyao army can defeat the Yao Mu army led by King Ge of Yao Muji, whether it is killing Ge Yao still captured him and made him a prisoner of Daning. This would be an immeasurable loss to Yao Mu, and it would be difficult for them to recover within a few years.

"So this expedition of the Zhenyao Army is very important." Zhan Pei said. "If it succeeds, it will enhance the prestige of our country, Daning, and scare Yao Mu so that he will not dare to act rashly again. If it fails,..."

Zhan Pei did not say any more, but they all knew in their hearts that once they failed, the Zhenyao army would not know how many people would come back. Even if the generals, including General Zhu, came back, they might face verbal and written criticism from the ministers in the DPRK, and Yao The curtain will become even more rampant, and it is not even necessary to wait until autumn. Once Gaofeng City's troops have finished resting, it is not impossible to attack Daning again.

Jinbao was a little confused and wanted to ask something, but the porridge shed gradually became busy, and she was busy helping scoop the porridge, so she didn't ask any more questions.

It wasn't until the morning's work was over that Geng Xingshuang also sorted out and recorded all the accounts of the several porridges he was responsible for, and returned to Xin's Mansion for lunch. Afterwards, during the lunch break, Jinbao found the opportunity to tell Zhanpei about his doubts.

"Zhenyao Army's expedition this time, even if it is fully prepared, it may fail, right?"

Zhan Pei nodded, "Although we all hope that the Zhenyao Army will receive frequent successes and return with a great victory, the battle situation can change at any time. After all, Gaofeng City is Yao Mu's territory, and no one can guarantee that the Zhenyao Army will win 100%."

"But I see that neither Miss Zhu nor our girls seem to be too worried, and are still busy with their own affairs."

Zhan Pei couldn't help but knock Jin Bao on the head, "Thank you for being with the girl for so many years. You still don't know what kind of girl she is. Even if she is worried in her heart, she won't talk about it all the time. Besides, is it because of worry? , just do nothing and just worry. Besides, is worrying useful? It’s better to take care of the things at hand and focus on the present. For things that haven’t happened yet or don’t know the answer now, just wait patiently. …”

A long whistle interrupted their conversation, and before they could react, Geng Xingshuang, who was taking a lunch break in the house, had already hurried out wearing a cloak and shuffling shoes.

As soon as Geng Xingshuang walked out of the house, she looked up and saw a wisp of white swooping down from the sky, falling straight onto the blooming plum tree. The snow foam and red plum trees fell to the ground, and the white wisp of white swooped down. After seeing Geng Xingshuang, she immediately fluttered forward from the plum tree. The green feathers above her head were shining green under the warm winter sun in the afternoon, and seemed to be more shiny and slippery than before.

With two "quack" sounds, Luxi automatically switched to another cry, waking up Zhanpei and Jinbao who were stunned.

"Girl, it's Lu Xi, Lu Xi is back!" Jin Bao was about to call Geng Xingshuang excitedly. When he turned around, his face changed, and he urged anxiously and worriedly: "Girl, go back quickly and put on thick clothes. Wearing something like this is too dangerous." It's going to freeze." Geng Xingshuang was sure that the whistling sound she just heard in her sleep was not her dream, but that it was really Lu Xi who was back, so she felt relieved and waved to Lu Xi. , shouted happily: "Lulv, come on!"

She was so excited that she even used a somewhat disgusting overlapping word. Just as she was about to change her words, she saw Green rushing toward her with joy. Apparently, he liked this new name very much.

Forget it, let’s make it happy when we meet again after a long separation.

Even though he was very happy, Lu Xi also paid attention to controlling his strength. It seemed that he was rushing towards him. When his head touched Geng Xingshuang's cloak, he stopped. Otherwise, with its size and strength, Geng Xingshuang would have been knocked down by it. No.

However, this situation only happened to Hongfu, Luxi has always been very reliable.

That's why Jimbo didn't stop it.

Geng Xingshuang brought Lu Xi into the house, and Jin Bao quickly got her a coat and skirt for her to put on, "Girl, it's so cold today, so just go out in your middle coat and a cloak. What if you get frostbite?" What to do!”

Jinbao was chattering. Geng Xingshuang just wanted to say it was okay when he sneezed.

Now Jinbao was even more nervous. Geng Xingshuang was anxious to read Lu Xi and the letter it brought, and said hurriedly: "Go and find Aunt Xu to grab a medicine to prevent wind and cold, and let me drink it."

She was also afraid that she would get sick during the Chinese New Year, and she had to avoid food when she was sick. There was still a lot of barbecue that she had prepared before, and it would delay things.

"The girl is willing to drink the bitter medicine soup this time!"

"Okay, go and come back quickly!"

Jin Bao hurried away.

Geng Xingshuang looked at Lu Xi's body, then pulled its thick feathers and inspected it carefully. She didn't find any scars, but she did see three letters hidden on her body.

Two of the envelopes were bulging with stuffing, which showed that the letters inside were very thick, while the other one was relatively thin.

Her eyes quickly scanned the two thick envelopes. One was addressed to herself and signed by her eldest brother. She breathed a sigh of relief. Her eldest brother could still write to her. Obviously, he was not implicated in the mutiny. At least now he was free and safe.

The other is a letter from Zhu Yan, written by her mother, Princess Shanning.

Zhu Yan was still resting. It was obvious that she had not slept well last night. Geng Xingshuang did not call her in a hurry and put her letter aside.

Picking up the thin envelope again, she saw that it was also addressed to herself, but when she saw the signature, Geng Xingshuang was stunned.
