Nagato has such a slim waist

Yutangchun's new dish is called "Outing", and it comes in several different flavors. It sounds delicious, but after learning that it is actually a locust, many people say they are insensitive and find it difficult to eat it.

But people who have eaten it say it is crispy and tender, with a unique flavor, and some people are eager to try it.

Wen Hui looked at the sales volume and was a little worried when she heard that Feng Yun was still collecting locusts in large quantities.

"Madam, after collecting so much, what should I do if I can't sell it?"

Feng Yun said: "Dry and preserve it for later use."

Wen Hui was very puzzled.

She said: "You only become picky when you eat. When you don't eat, you don't dislike it anymore."

And the dried locusts are really crispy, just like fried river shrimp and fish...

Wen Hui saw that the lady had her own opinions, so she didn't ask any more questions and hung the dish in the lobby as usual.

Nagato has been collecting locusts.

The purchase price is very low, but at this time of year, there are many idle people in the countryside. When they hear that there are locusts wherever they are, they all rush to catch them.

There are more people than locusts at the edge of a field...

There were ducks and people, bonfires and drives. This time the locust plague slowly passed.

He Qia made statistics and found that the damage was still considerable, but it was much better than what he had initially expected.

By the end of July, Nagato stopped collecting locusts.

The autumn harvest is coming, and Nagato is very busy as he has to hold a happy event.

The sugar cane crop in Mingquan Town is harvested in July and is also being prepared for sowing in the fall.

Everything seems unaffected...

However, there has been a severe drought and there has been no rain. The water levels in the old wells and long rivers in the village are getting lower and lower, and the price of food on the market is getting more and more expensive.

People could smell the tension in the air.

Gradually, the food shortage became more and more severe...

Grains are being snatched at grain stores at a fixed price a day, and the news is getting more and more serious.

Feng Yun has been asking villagers to stock up on food since last year.

But there were not many people who actually followed her instructions and had the spare money to stock up on food.

Fortunately, there is still some harvest this season. Some farmers are affected by the locust plague, so they can buy some from the village. If they ask for Nagato, they can also buy it at market price. Only then can they feel a little more stable and less anxious than other villages...

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Feng Yun got up before dawn. The scent of millet being cut in the village came to her. She took a deep breath, washed up, and went to Yangxinzhai to pick up Yuan Shangyi and go out together.

She went to buy it for Wen Hui's wedding.

This is the first time Nagato has held a happy event, and Feng Yun is very concerned about it.

But Wen Hui, who was about to be a bride, was afraid of delaying her employer's business, so she did everything herself and did not want to rely on others.

In the past few days, Feng Yun has sent two other concubines, Tu Lan and Gu Zhu, to Yutangchun to help each other. When Wenhui gets married, there will be someone to replace him...

This is the second time Yuan Shangyi came to Andu City to buy things for the bride, his eyes full of happiness.

The market is busy.

Compared with the busy work for the autumn harvest in the countryside, in the teahouses and wine shops in the city, idle people gathered together and talked about the fact that Andu was about to become the auxiliary capital of the Jin Dynasty.

Feng Yun had received the news earlier, and it was revealed by Pei Ran.

But it only took these two days for the news to reach the people.

The market immediately started to boil.

From Qi to Jin, and then to the auxiliary capital of Jin, Andu has changed a lot in just two years.

The people were naturally overjoyed.

Everyone is guessing the imperial court's intentions, and it sounds like that.

He said one thing after another, as if he had seen the resolution in the Tai Chi Palace with his own eyes.

"The first reason for placing the auxiliary capital in Andu is that it is nourished by the dragon's energy - not long after the young emperor came to Andu to recuperate, his illness that he had suffered for many years improved. Do you think that Andu is a blessed place?"

"Yes!"

"This is just one of them. The second is to place the auxiliary capital in Andu, one to control the Southern Qi Dynasty, and the other two to swallow up the puppet dynasty in Yecheng. The time and place are favorable, so we can plan for it slowly."

People in Andu all called Yecheng a pseudo-imperial court.

In their view, their side is the orthodox inheritance, and the nephews of Emperor Xifeng supported by Li Zongxun are not the right ones, and they can do countless things.

"Andu is located in a very dangerous strategic place. Needless to say, it can be advanced or retreated. The most important thing is that Andu belongs to Xinzhou. It has developed waterways and is extremely convenient for transporting troops and supplies. What does King Yonghuai have in mind? Early on. After understanding the situation thoroughly, I'm afraid Li Zongxun's bottom is about to burn up and he won't be able to sit still..."

"Ha ha ha ha."

"So, after we build the auxiliary capital, we have to attack Yecheng?"

"When to fight depends on King Yonghuai's thoughts... In my opinion, we just fought against Beirong. At present, people's livelihood is in decline, food and grass are not abundant, and this year's locust plague is coming, I'm afraid it will drag on for a few days. Year."

What the old master said was very clear.

A group of people surrounded him, sighing frequently.

Feng Yun's carriage passed by the teahouse slowly. When he glanced at it, he saw Ren Rude sitting inside, followed by Jin Ge.

The two of them were very comfortable holding tea in their hands.

She asked Xiaoman, "I remember Mr. Ren's teahouse was opened by the city gate, right?"

Xiaoman nodded, "The maid also remembers that it is at the west gate."

A person who runs a teahouse is really free to go to other people's teahouses to drink tea and listen to the old master's nonsense.

She turned around and asked Alou.

"How many hours did Mr. Ren study in the village?"

A'lou will calculate work and food for Ren Rude every month, so he knows his class hours very well.

He immediately said: "Mr. Ren comes for half a day every two days, which is a leisure time. The students all like Mr. Ren's classes and say that his lectures are funny, knowledgeable and understand everything."

A person who has traveled around the world and read a lot of poems and books will certainly be able to coax a child into a daze.

This Ren Rude is the first staff member under Xiao Cheng's account.

Is he really willing to settle down and retire in Huaxi Village?
Xiao Cheng is also willing to let such talents teach children to read and read in Huaxi Village?

Feng Yun asked some more questions about Ren Rude.

But Ah Lou said that he was very well-behaved in Huaxi Village, never violated village rules, was extremely kind to his neighbors, and was a teacher of many children, so he was highly respected.

If Feng Yun hadn't known his details in advance, he probably wouldn't have been able to see any flaws.

Their intentions were unclear, and Feng Yun decided to stand still.

Let's see who can outlast whom.

Feng Yun said nothing more.

Yuan Shangyi suddenly asked.

"Madam, are we short of food?"

When Feng Yun looked at the little emperor again, he found that his face was serious.

The six-year-old child was raised in a deep palace and never knew where the food came from, let alone how valuable it was.

He has learned a lot of things from his surroundings in the village these days.

Feng Yun smiled and said, "Already A Yuan knows?"

Won Sang Yi nodded.

Feng Yun said: "It seems that it is not entirely good to understand the public sentiment when you are too young."

The children became unhappy.

Feng Yun touched his head and said, "Don't think too much, your ministers will handle it."

His ministers.

Yuan Shangyi thought of the expressionless and cold-faced King Yonghuai.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Feng Yun eagerly.

"Did your wife quarrel with King Yonghuai?"

Feng Yun laughed, "Why do you say that?"

Yuan Shangyi said: "Otherwise, why didn't King Yonghuai come back? Aren't you husband and wife? Husband and wife should live together." This is the most simple and unpretentious view of a child.

He didn't have this understanding before.

But the couples in Huaxi Village are all like this.

He specifically consulted Lin Nvshi, and only then did he understand the basic ethics...

There was actually nothing good to say about Feng Yun from Lin's female history, but all she said was that her womanly virtue was not good, which made Yuan Shangyi very unhappy.

Feng Yun was silent for a long time without speaking.

There are some things that cannot be explained clearly to children.

She could only respond seriously: "We are different from ordinary couples. Your Majesty is busy with official duties and has many things to do, and so am I. We are all too busy."

Won Sang Eul asked: "Then you won't miss each other?"

Feng Yun looked at him and hesitated, "I'll think about it."

Yuan Shangyi suddenly put his hand on the back of Feng Yun's hand and said sincerely: "Madam, I am willing to return to Beijing. Please accompany me back to Xijing."

The child's sincere eyes were full of expectation.

He didn't want to go back to Beijing, but he thought that Feng Yun stayed in Andu because of him and was not with King Yonghuai. He also attracted people like Yang Xinzhai to gossip behind his back.

Yuan Shangyi felt sorry.

Feng Yun looked at Yuan Shangyi like this, and inadvertently thought of the little Qu'er in his previous life, who ran up to her with an umbrella on a rainy day and told her.

"When Qu'er grows up, he wants to move to Zhaode Palace. Qu'er has visited Zhaode Palace. Zhaode Palace is very big and beautiful..."

What child wants to leave his mother?

He was simply afraid that his mother would be in trouble in front of his father in order to protect him. At that time, every time Xiao Cheng came to Feng Yun Palace, he saw that Xiao Qu was not in a good mood. The child sensitively realized that he was not lovable and was an obstacle between the father and the mother...

The heart of a child is as pure as washing.

Feng Yun naturally disagreed.

Qu'er was like this too, his bright eyes stared at her like stars, he held her soft little hands up and said softly:
"Mother, please allow your child. When a baby bird grows up, it has to fly alone. A son should also be independent in order to grow big wings..."

"Madam?" Yuan Shangyi held her hand tightly, "Will you accompany me back to Xijing?"

After a moment, Feng Yun came back to his senses and heard clearly what the child was saying.

Subconsciously, she held Yuan Shangyi's little hand and hugged his body tightly.

"Thank you Ayuan for thinking about me, but I can't leave now. If you want to go back, I can send someone to take you..."

As expected, Yuan Shangyi's eyes showed a strange color, and his little mouth pursed.

Feng Yun understood and smiled faintly, "Don't worry, Ayuan, it won't be long before we can be reunited as husband and wife. Isn't Andu going to build an auxiliary capital and build a palace soon?"

Yuan Shangyi asked: "Didn't the lady really stay here because of me?"

Feng Yun felt sorry for him.

"of course."

Yuan Shangyi immediately became happy, "Okay, we'll stay in Huaxi."

As long as he can be with his wife, he will be happy anywhere.

The carriage passed by the teahouse.

Ren Rude closed the folding fan in his hand slightly and looked back at Jin Ge.

"That car just now was Mrs. Feng's car?"

Jin Ge also saw it just now.

He lowered his eyes, "My subordinates didn't pay attention."

Ren Rude glanced at him, with a gentle smile on his face.

He didn't say anything, stood up and walked out of the door, looking at the carriage going away on the long street, stood silently for a moment, and then sighed softly.

"Your Majesty has waited too long. As subordinates, we should be more attentive and share His Majesty's worries."

Jin Ge knew what he was talking about, so he was silent for a moment before saying:
"Ms. Feng is only focused on making a living. From my humble opinion, she has no intention of returning to Qi..."

Then he raised his eyes and looked at Ren Rude, "I forgive you for making such presumptuous remarks. Instead of waiting hopelessly, Mr. Ren would rather give a few words of advice in front of His Majesty, so that His Majesty can take back the Sacred Heart and find another good relationship."

Ren Rude laughed.

"How dare you say that, kid!"

He glanced at Jin Ge and opened the folding fan lazily, looking scheming.

"If His Majesty is so easy to be persuaded, how could I wait until now? You, you have been with His Majesty for so long, but you don't understand His Majesty's thoughts at all..."

Jin Ge was silent.

Compared to Ren Rude, he really couldn't guess Xiao Chengzhi's heart.

Ren Rude chuckled, glanced at him, returned to his home at Xichengmen, spread out the letter paper and wrote a secret report to Nan Qi.

"Since leaving in June, Feng Twelve Niang and Pei Madang have not been in contact with each other for several months. According to what I see, the two of them are estranged. I am afraid that sooner or later they will have to part ways."

Jin Ge frowned.

Isn’t this gentleman just talking nonsense and adding fuel to the fire?

Even if Feng Twelfth Mother does not associate with Pei Ran, she may not be willing to go back with His Majesty.

He looked puzzled.

Ren Rude told him with a confident expression.

"Don't worry, His Majesty likes to see this. Just wait for the reward."

Jin Ge:......

While holding the reward.

While enjoying life in Andu.

All in all, this job is really good.

After buying all the things and returning to Zhuangzi, Feng Yun asked someone to send a batch of winter clothes to the Beiyong Army camp.

In fact, it's still early for winter, but these winter clothes are made of leftover materials from last year, and if they are kept, they will occupy the warehouse.

She asked Xing Bing to deliver it in person, and asked Wen Xingsu when he would come over for dinner.

Xing Bing came back in less than two hours. Before he could tie up the horse, he ran in like a gust of wind, taking three steps at a time and two steps at a time, looking panicked.

"My lady knows that the king is injured."

Feng Yun was slightly surprised.

"He was in Prince Yonghuai's Mansion in Xijing and was guarded by a guard camp. Why was he injured?"

Xing Bing raised his eyes and looked at her, "King Yonghuai was injured in an attack on his way back to Andu."

"Go back to Andu?"

Since the last letter that couldn't be any shorter, Pei Ran hasn't said a single word.

She was busy here and there and did not take the initiative to write a letter.

From the passionate entanglement before leaving to the alienation after separation, the two people were really like a couple who had an affair. Apart from that little thing, they had no contact with each other.

Feng Yun had no idea about Pei Ran's return to Andu.

She asked: "Is it serious?"

Xing Bing hesitated.

"I heard that the king fell into a coma. I guess he was seriously injured, right?"

Feng Yun's eyes gradually turned cold.

Xing Bing added: "The news just reached the camp today. The king came back to attend the wedding of the Governor's Mansion. Unexpectedly, he encountered a large number of bandits and robbed him..."

How could an ordinary bandit do anything to Pei Madang?
Feng Yun felt that this matter was strange.

Seeing her calm face, Xing Bing's pounding heart also calmed down.

"The eldest man said that he has sent someone. Let the lady inform the Puyang medical officer and go to Wanning City to respond quickly..."

Feng Yun's sharp eyes narrowed slightly and he said calmly:

"You go call the Puyang medical officer and prepare some medicine. I'll change my clothes and go with you." (End of Chapter)
