Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 176 No One Sleeps Tonight
Gong Zhiming stretched out his arms around the waist of his beloved woman, and walked slowly around her, naturally understanding her kindness in his heart.Neither of them spoke, they just walked around the tent in circles.Some pains don't need comfort, they just need the warmth of companionship...

The next day, the weather was fine as usual.The sun in early spring is getting warmer day by day, and it becomes easier for the army to travel.

An Ge'er disliked the stuffiness in the carriage, and stretched out his little hand from the window from time to time, looking for his dear father to "rescue" him, but unfortunately, he was ruthlessly suppressed by his mother every time.

All the guards couldn't help but put on a smile on their faces, and finally saw the general coming back from the front, and hurriedly reported it.

"General, the young master is waiting for you to take him on a horse."

Gong Zhiming's face immediately softened, he bent down and knocked on the car window, Ding Wei opened the curtains in response, and said angrily, "Brother An is getting more and more annoying, I really want to give him away!"

"Father! Daddy!" The old mother complained, and An Geer was not to be outdone, and tried her best to show her little butt that had been punished.It's a pity that the thick quilted trousers covered up the old lady's guilt, and he was so anxious that he almost shed tears.

Amused and helpless, Gong Zhiming reached out to lift his son out of the car window, and stuffed him directly into the cloak.The fat boy immediately put all the grievances behind him, kicked his calf, and shouted excitedly, "Drive! Daddy!"

I don't know if I'm urging my father to drive the horse with this name, or if I'm treating the horse as my father, which made all the guards couldn't help laughing.

Ding Wei covered her eyes, she really couldn't bear to see her son being so embarrassing again, so she quickly changed her subject, "What happened before, why have you been here for so long?"

Gong Zhiming put his son in one hand, and replied casually, "A guerrilla general frightened his horse and broke his leg."

Ding Wei was amazed and asked, "Why did you startle the horse? But someone wrapped him up?"

"Mr. Wei happened to be nearby, and he has already been diagnosed and treated."

After that, he didn't say any more, hugged his son tightly, and jumped out with his legs clamped in the horse's stomach.

Ding Wei saw the father and son running far away, put down the curtain of the car with some envy, knocked on her injured leg with her hand back, and sighed, "When will I be so agile, I want to learn how to ride a horse!"

Yun Ying, who was waiting on the side, heard it funny, and said, "I have been injured for a hundred days, and now I see it will be healed. I will teach the girl when the time comes. I heard that there is a large horse farm in Wuhou's mansion, and it is very cheap to run." .”

Ding Wei became interested and asked, "Have you been to Marquis Wu's Mansion? Tell me a few words."

Yun Ying also lived in Marquis Wu's Mansion for a few days because of the master's feigned death. She didn't read it carefully in her panic, but she tried her best to tell everything she knew.

"Wuhou's Mansion is very big, it's just on Zhuque Street, and it's only a cup of tea away from the palace. There are many yards in the mansion, as well as gardens and horse farms. All the servants are veterans who retired from the army. I heard that some He fought with the old Marquis Wu, he is very respectable, even if he sees the old prince, he only pays half a salute."

Ding Wei nodded. She had heard that the family of military generals often used retired veterans as domestic servants. Firstly, they were loyal and reliable, and secondly, they wanted to find a way out for them, especially the disabled soldiers. You will also receive great courtesy.This has to be said to be a means of buying people's hearts. If the worries of these people are not resolved, who can sacrifice their lives to protect the general?

Now that the war is coming to an end, it is time to start preparing for the previously proposed methods of arranging the wounded.

And she is already planning to buy a manor outside the capital. Back then, their mother and son survived the black-robed cavalry attack, all thanks to Zhao Sanjiang leading the soldiers and wounded soldiers to resist desperately. She once said that she would support them. When children and parents die, money and local arrangements are needed.

Not to mention Ding Wei's calculations here, but to say that the army finally arrived [-] miles away from the capital at dusk that day.

And this night was also destined to become an inevitable night for everyone in the capital. There had been regulations in the court, and three of the six ministers were selected, all of whom had some friendship with the Wuhou Mansion before.As soon as the army set up camp, they rushed over with a large amount of food, wine and meat.

The rest of the civil and military officials will be led by Prime Minister Fang, and will be greeted outside the city gate tomorrow morning.

This night, everywhere in Kyoto was extremely quiet, but behind every door there were people with wide-eyed eyes.Even in those high-ranking families, all clan members gathered in one place, secretly talking about the past of the new emperor, how the family should deal with it, and how to preserve their wealth and glory.

And in the palace, in the Taiji Hall, which was the most eye-catching place before, there is no tyrannical emperor, only a cripple lying on the bed, and two young eunuchs guarding the door, talking in a low voice, "Xiao Guizi, do you see?" Have you ever been to that general?"

"What general?" Another little eunuch rolled his eyes, puffed out his small chest and looked proud, "That's the new emperor, the master we are going to serve soon. Although I haven't seen it, I heard from the imperial dining room. The chief steward said that the new emperor likes to eat light food."

"Like to eat light food? What's this saying?"

"Stupid! My mother said that a cow that eats grass is docile, but a tiger that likes to eat meat is scary. Since the new emperor likes to eat light dishes, he must be a soft-hearted person."

"Ah, can you still say that?" The little eunuch was puzzled, but instead he became happy, "As long as the new emperor doesn't kill people casually, that's fine. The one inside is too scary. Three of us were beaten to death in one room." I thought I wouldn't live long, but I didn't expect the general to come to me, it's really great!"

Such conversations happened almost everywhere in the palace, and countless court ladies and eunuchs gathered in groups of three or four, all of whom were full of expectations for the new emperor.

Some court ladies who claim to be pretty are secretly thinking about how to get the favor of the new emperor, but those shrewd eunuchs took out the money they have saved for a long time and started trying to change to a better position, maybe they fell into the eyes of the new emperor for a while , the eunuch in charge is shaking his prestige.

Xu Shi was affected by the turmoil around the palace, and the usually quiet Liuxian Garden was rarely brightly lit tonight.

In the main hall, the four maids of honor were busy taking out all the clothes from the box, and sent them to the princess for a look.It's a pity that the princess has too many clothes, and it took more than half an hour to see less than half of them, and the princess's expression is rare to add annoyance.

Seeing this, the old mama hurried forward with a smile and comforted her, "Princess, drink a bowl of bird's nest first and take a rest. This old servant has been by your side for so long, and I know what the princess likes. Bring it back."

When the princess heard this, her delicate eyebrows finally relaxed, and she sighed, "I don't know why, I don't feel good about anything."

The old mother laughed narrowly, "It is honor for a woman to please herself, and this old slave understands the princess' thoughts.

"Oh, mother, what are you talking about. I don't want to lose the royal dignity in front of the people in the city!" It's rare for the princess to act coquettishly like a little daughter, but it's much more lively than her usual cold and banished fairy appearance. A few court ladies were dumbfounded.

She may have thought of this too, and she quickly stopped smiling, and several palace maids quickly bowed their heads and retreated to the side.The old lady rummaged through the pile of clothes, and quickly picked out two sets of dresses, one in scarlet color and one in lake blue. They were all cut and sewed from excellently dyed materials without any complicated embroidery. It is also the most suitable for the fairy spirit of the princess.

Princess Qingcheng was also very happy, she nodded in praise and said, "Nurse has such a good eye, these two items are really outstanding."

The old mammy smiled until all the wrinkles on her face gathered together, "That's right, the old servant has served the princess since she was a child, if she doesn't understand the princess's preferences, it will be a waste of time at this senior year. Try it, princess, it's even worse. suitable?"

The two tossed and tossed for half an hour, and finally settled on the set of lake blue.While muttering, the old mammy was looking for jewelry that matched the dress in the jewelry box.

The princess sat by the window, holding the book in her hand, but didn't read a word.

After leaving for so many years, I don't know how handsome and handsome that man is now, is his back as generous as in memory?
Thinking of this, something suddenly flashed through her mind, so she frowned unconsciously.Even if that person is now occupied by a lowly woman, it doesn't matter, just get rid of it.She is Xihao's most honorable and beautiful princess, and no one can take away the person she likes!

In the big camp dozens of miles away, this night was also a sleepless night.Many soldiers were lying in the tent, talking in low voices.

"The general has become the emperor, can we go home?"

"You worthless boy, what's wrong with following the emperor to enjoy the blessings in Xijing? You still want to go back to your poor mountain valley?"

"My Erya is still waiting for me to go back and marry her!"

"You are rooted in Xijing. If you are lucky and get a good job, how many women will not be able to marry back? Which one is not better than a village girl?"

"No, I just like Erya."

Outside the camp, the generals leading the patrol heard the noise from each tent, and only shook their heads, instead of stopping as usual.Not to mention the soldiers, even they were too excited to fall asleep.Contributors to the establishment, ministers who founded the country, every word reveals glory and wealth, and every word can make them honor their ancestors.

At such a time, if anyone can still find sleep, it is simply hopeless.

The big tent of the Chinese army was also brightly lit. The two old generals and Fang Xin were discussing with Gong Zhiming about tomorrow's arrangements.Even though victory is now in sight, the necessary precautions are still indispensable.Who knows where a large army will appear, and when they relax their defenses, they will completely turn the tables.

After all, no one has seen Sima Quan's appearance with his own eyes. If he cheats, he will be caught off guard.After all, Gong Zhiming can die and come back to life, so it doesn't mean that Sima Quan won't "recover from injury"?

In the small tent next to the big tent, there are also lights.Ding Wei sat at the table, counting the account books sent by several cities. Now it has been more than a month since the opening of the first shop, and all five shops in Qiongzhou City have been completed, even if it is because of the cold weather. , the barbecue and ice shop business is deserted, but the hot pot, stir-fry and dim sum shops are booming, and the monthly income is quite a lot.

Although there are not as many shops in the other two prefectures as in Qiongzhou, they are gradually popping up.
