Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 123 Untitled
When I came back to my senses, I saw that Meatball had already gnawed a hole in the envelope.

He was very startled, quickly pulled the envelope back, and hurriedly went to pick his toothless mouth.

After seeing that there was nothing left in it, I was relieved.

The meatball over there was dissatisfied, she snatched the envelope she was gnawing on, and immediately raised her hands to ask for it, screaming.

How could Li Diaozhu give it to him? After packing the letter paper, he hurriedly called Yu Jiadi to come in.

After giving the letter to Yu Jiadi and putting it away, I saw that the kid was about to cry when he got angry.Looking at the time, she saw that it was time to go to bed, so the woman hurriedly carried him to the ground, started humming, and patted him to make him sleepy.

Seeing this, Yu Jiadi got a blessing behind him and went down to bring over the prepared milk.

After Li Kongzhu patted the child to be quiet, he fed him milk.

After eating and drinking, he happened to be sleepy, so he quickly hugged him and turned around in the room again.

After thoroughly coaxing him to sleep and putting him on the small mattress on the kang, the woman walked out lightly.

When I went to Zhao Niqiu's house, I saw that the kid was still counting the bills, so I reached out and patted his little head, "If you're tired, let it go, the third aunt is back now, let's play more when you have time!"

"It's nothing, I like to calculate!" Zhao Nixi said happily while making the abacus rattle, "Third Aunt, after the starch was available last month, the sales volume is very high." After flipping through it, guess how much you earned last month?"

"How much?" Li Kongzhu found out the rice paper, dipped a pen into the ink in his grinder and asked softly.

"Except for the cost, I earned a total of 2000 taels." 2000 taels, how many cans of steamed buns are there?

Li Kongzhu smiled when he heard this, "Your third aunt can only take up 2000% of the [-] taels here. Do the math for me, how much can I get?"

"Four percent?"

"Ah~" the woman nodded, and said while writing, "Show me, I'll see what Hua Lao taught you, have you memorized it?"

After Zhao Niqiu heard this, he shrugged his nose at her, "Third Aunt, just look at it!" Then he shook his head and hummed: "Forty percent of the 1000 taels, you can get 400 taels, and you can get 800 taels. Add up four hundred taels, but it's [-] taels. Third aunt, did I make a mistake?"

"Nope!" Li Kongzhu smiled, after writing the last stroke, he raised his eyes and saw the boy with his head up, with an expression waiting to be praised.

Wen smiled and got up, went over to stroke his little head, nodded and said: "Well, I didn't forget, but I'm getting smarter!"

"Hee hee!" The boy raised his head and enjoyed her touch.

Seeing this, the woman followed suit and explained: "If you have free time, you should go out more often, and make good friends with the children in the village. It is impossible for a person to have no friends in his life, but you know?"

"I know Third Aunt Li!" Zhao Niqiu nodded obediently and said, "I will go out to play for an hour when I ring, every day, Er Gouzi and Caizi in the village know when I go !"

"That's good!" Li Kongzhu was relieved to hear that, as long as he was willing to contact people, she was worried before that he would be restrained even more cautiously, but now it seems that the boy is quite sensible.

After instructing the child a few more words, the woman turned around with the ink tray in her hand and walked towards the main house where she was.

Pushing the door lightly, when entering the main room, seeing Rouwanzi sleeping soundly, he smiled, put the ink plate on the small kang, and followed Yu Xiaoling to bring in a basin of water.

After twisting the wet handkerchief, the woman picked up the child's little fingers, and gently dabbed some ink on the belly of each finger, and then gently dabbed the ink-stained little finger on the letter paper she had written.

No, Meatball in his sleep seemed uncomfortable being pulled by her finger, when she touched his finger to the blank space at the end of the letter paper, he inadvertently moved a little bit.

In an instant, those five little dots became elongated because of his movement.

The woman couldn't laugh or cry, but she didn't plan to do it a second time.

Put the letter paper on the kang table, wipe the child's hands with a towel, and then fold the letter paper to dry the ink and put it in the envelope.

Going out of the house, I called Jianxiao from the dark place, handed the letter to her, and asked her to hand it to Jianning to deliver it.

After the red silk leader flew away, Li Kongzhu looked at the heavy snow and smiled meaningfully, "Do you understand the letter your son wrote to you?" Don't blame her for hiding it, She has a reminder!

Thinking about it, the woman raised her eyebrows in a good mood, and walked briskly towards the main house, intending to take a nap with her son.

When Jian Xiao handed over the letter to Jian Ning, Jian Ning's heart still trembled.

Now he was reassigned to take charge of the outer guards, and the order he received was to continue to conceal the matter of Mrs. Jun, but he was no longer allowed to intercept her letters.

Although he didn't understand what the higher-ups were planning, but just seeing Mrs. Jun went to the border and still hiding General Jun, he always felt that there was something in it. He solemnly accepted the letter.

Jian Xiao doesn't know the twists and turns, she was found by Zhao Junyi in the later period, and she didn't know about the affairs between the master and son when she came, and the things she reported were also reported by Jian Ning and the others, and her duty, It is mainly responsible for the safety of Li Diabolo.

Therefore, after she handed over the letter, she did not notice any change in Jian Ning's expression.Seeing that the job was completed, he asked two more questions about the assassin.

Seeing that she had changed the subject, Jianning told her the truth about the assassin incident, "There are more and more people coming, I'm afraid the border has reached the point of no delay. If this side is not successful, there may be changes on the battlefield. Already!"

Jian Xiao nodded, "It's not something you and I should discuss about the battlefield, but the only way to do it right now is to guard the area around the city!"

"Of course!" Jian Ning put the letter into his bosom, "There will be another group of hidden guards in the next two days, and the soldiers stationed in Fucheng are also getting ready now, as long as Madam doesn't leave the ring city, everything will be safe!"

Hongxiao bowed her hands, and after saying goodbye to him, she jumped towards Zhaojiacun.

At this time, Zhao Junyi, who was far away on the border, saw the capital of Yasukuni in front of him under the victories of successive attacks.

Emperor Pianjing came up with another ruthless trick to stop them.

Today's Yasukuni Imperial City has long been deserted.

In order to prevent the army of the changing country from advancing again, Emperor Yasukuni not only moved the capital to the northernmost part, but also concentrated all his troops in the most dangerous ice peak area.Moreover, another major event was made inhumanely, so that the army of the changed country could no longer move forward.

And this big event was that when the Bianguo army was chasing the passing Yasukuni city, all the people inside were suffering from a terminally contagious disease like smallpox.

At that time, in the Yasukuni city, there were mourners everywhere, and their bones were like mountains.

Seeing this phenomenon, in order to prevent the re-infection of the disease, the troops of the Bianguo were stationed in isolation a few miles away from the city, and began to stop their progress.

Holding the information from the spies, Zhao Junyi frowned tightly and did not let go for a while.

It never occurred to him that the Nine Kings are so vicious, seeing that their reputation has been ruined, people's hearts have been lost, and the battlefield is about to fall short, they are so crazy that they want all the people in the world to be buried with him!
Now he is occupying the northernmost region, and he has concentrated all his troops there. It seems that there will be a final battle, but he has spread this terminal disease like smallpox in all the cities they pass by. Didn't you procrastinate on purpose, wanting to take this opportunity to recuperate and find another solution?

Zhao Junyi pinched the bridge of his nose with his hands.

Someone called Mr. Hua to come in.

When the old man came, the man handed him the letter in his hand.

Opening the letter, the old man took a quick look at it, and immediately tore the letter into pieces with a livid face.

"Beast, beast! Since he is making fun of the people of the world, if this kind of beast is allowed to live in this world, it is simply unacceptable, and he should be sent away!"

"Sent by heaven or not sent by heaven is the next best thing!" Zhao Junyi said with a stern face, "Now we are holding the banner of benevolence and love from the emperor of the country. If we let it go, we will be criticized even if we win, but if we manage it, we will be punished." Emperor Jing had an opportunity to take advantage of, and he had enough time to rebuild the morale of the army. If he fought again, it would take another year or a half." Now that victory was in sight, he How willing to spend so long?

For the first time in the man's life, he was so irritable that he kept pinching the bridge of his nose with his hands.The other big palm on the leg was clenched into a fist, making crunching and creaking sounds incessantly.

The old man stood there watching him for a while, then sighed, "Don't let your irritability distract you, the battlefield is like this, changing rapidly, and no one can imagine what will happen next. If you are so swayed by the love of your children, I am afraid that the next key road will be very difficult!"

Zhao Junyi was stunned for a moment.

When I looked towards the old man at the bottom, I saw that he shook his sleeves angrily again, "I have been to the city to see the so-called terminal smallpox, but it is a mixture of vaccinia and chickenpox, although it can also infect people. , but it is not an incurable disease. Although the two diseases are complicated together, if they are treated slowly, they will recover."

Speaking of which, the old man turned his eyes to him and said very seriously: "What we are facing now is the shortage of supplies in the city, and the lady's hand is not enough. In addition, the winter snow is hard to bear, and there are many displaced people. The most urgent thing is that we We still have to keep an eye on the Liming people first!"

Zhao Junyi nodded, and his mood gradually calmed down, "I will write to the capital right away, and then send another team composed of doctors and civilians who recovered the city. If there are not enough people, I will send Pull out a few battalions to help!"

Seeing that he had regained his usual calmness, Hua Lao heaved a sigh of relief and nodded.He said: "Let's arrange it like this first. I'll go down to see how many medicinal materials are in the barracks. I'll discuss it with some old stubborn people. Let's start saving this city first."

"it is good!"

Zhao Junyi waited for him to go out, stood up and looked at the map behind him.He smiled bitterly and shook his head silently. He thought that he would be able to avenge his revenge this winter and return to court in the spring.But who knows, another situation blocked his final road to victory.

Thinking of his eagerness and irritability just now, Zhao Junyi let out a breath, then quickly stepped out of the tent, and came to the drill field, where he jumped on his horse, raised his knife and rode his horse, and began to fight with the soldiers who had been practicing a lot. Together, they began to wield their knives and practice the skills of killing enemies.

Half an hour later, when the man jumped off his horse covered in sweat, he waved to the shouting generals in the practice field, and then stepped out of the playground.

Jian Zhuo, who had been hiding in the dark over there, saw him coming, and handed him the letter he had just received.

"Master, letter from madam!"

Zhao Junyi was wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, he paused after hearing this.Looking at the familiar Chinese character chicken chop on the letter that was handed over, the waves in my heart that had just calmed down unknowingly.

With a sullen face, he reached out to take it.After waving his hand to make him retreat, he quickly walked towards his tent.

After returning to the table, he folded the letter, and when he saw the long black ink stick on it, he curled his lips in a relaxed mood.

"I'm really getting lazy, so why don't you want to write it again?" I'm afraid that no other woman would dare to do this unless she stained the paper!

Raising his eyebrows, he read a few words of concern, and at the end the man stared at the ink, still thinking it was very funny.

She looked at it for a while, thought for a while, and finally took up a pen and wrote a reply letter. After briefly apologizing and talking about the situation here, she also deliberately teased her handwriting at the end: Er Jin The more refined the pen is, the more the shape of the characters is more suitable for people, and the more neat the paper, we must continue to maintain it, and we must not be complacent and overwhelmed!

After putting away the pen and drying it, the man looked it over again, raised his eyebrows, then folded the letter with great satisfaction, put it in an envelope and sealed it, and took it away with his sword.

After Jian Zhuo left, the man curled his lips and got up, and when he turned around to look at the map, his body and mind felt unprecedentedly comfortable and peaceful.

As the twelfth lunar month approaches, everyone's workshop is at its busiest time again.

Today's Zhaojia Village.Because of the wholesale business of Renren Workshop during the slack season, this year, it can be said that every household is no longer short of money.

No, it seems that there is still a whole month before the Chinese New Year. At such an early hour, some people are already slowly preparing for the New Year.

On Li Kongzhu's side, when she received the man's letter, although she despised the ridicule at the end, the content of the letter made her very worried.

Now news of diseases like chickenpox and vaccinia in Yasukuni has spread throughout the territory of the country.

At that time, while the people of Bianguo were shocked, they also felt sorry for the people of Yasukuni. After all, with such an inhuman monarch, no one would hate to change it.

On the second day after Li Kongzhu received the letter, he called all the shareholders to come to Zhaojia Village.

The general idea is obvious, it is to help the people on the border gather medicinal materials and send them to the court.

After hearing this, several shareholders at that time disapproved and began to refuse.

"How long has this partnership lasted? Although we have made money, it is still a lot of money to open a branch and expand the shop? I heard that the people in several cities in Jingguo have this cowpox and chickenpox. There are several cities. Has the big boss thought about it?" , How many people has that been? Although our workshop is a bit famous, but when it comes to donating medicinal materials, it is just a drop in the bucket!"

"That's right! We all pay taxes and taxes, so we should leave these matters to the court. Let's focus on our own development first!"

"Yeah yeah!"

Sitting under Li Kongzhu's subordinate, Li Chong saw that although she listened to everyone's negation with a calm face, the creases between her brows and the undoubted eyes showed her undeniable toughness.

"Is there any other plan that the Dadong family can't make?" After everyone discussed it, Li Chong asked doubts, and reminded everyone by the way.They are businessmen, no matter how kind the big boss is, they will never give money for nothing.

Li Kongzhu nodded, "Now our canned vermicelli and starch have signed a contract with the Imperial City. Although it is not an official Imperial Merchant, the workshop has been under the protection of the Imperial City since its opening. Now there are worries in the Holy Land, if we Everyone's workshop doesn't care about it, and when we introduce it, if we are not careful, other imperial merchants give good words first, and you will feel that we have offended the Holy Majesty with our current everyone's workshop, but there is still Is it necessary to continue to develop?"

After the words fell, the woman swept her head down, and was startled when she saw everyone's faces.Then he said unhurriedly: "Now the border is in need of a large amount of medicinal materials, and the imperial merchants who pay tribute to the medicinal materials are afraid that they want to take advantage of this to make a fortune. If we take advantage of this early to show our loyalty and share the burden for the Holy Majesty, although We can't contribute much, but we are the first selfless businessmen who dare to stand up! Do you think we will lose money after this incident?"

"Let's not talk about whether His Majesty Jieshi will return our silver taels, but he will give us some kind of first-class merchant at will. With this plaque personally sealed by the imperial pen, you will feel that it is better than the emperor's merchant. , where can we be worse?"

Seeing the excitement in everyone's eyes, the woman felt confident, took a sip from the teacup and said: "Opening a branch store can be done at any time, one day later, one month later, but this opportunity, if you miss it, it will never happen again When doing business, the most taboo is short-sightedness, you should take a long-term view, the lost money will always be returned in doubled, and the sacrifice will never be in vain!"

"What Da Dong said is true!" At this time, everyone had already been convinced, and they all got up together and saluted the woman.

"Dare to ask the big boss, what should I do next?"

Someone asked a question, and the rest hurriedly expressed their loyalty, "Let the big boss order it!"

After Li Diaozhu looked at it, he nodded and put down the teacup, then said softly, "I have sent someone to ask the doctor for the medicinal materials needed, and Jie Shier can buy according to this, we don't want any extra, we just Send something really useful!"

"Yes!"

Seeing that the meeting was almost over, at the end Li Kongzhu said again, "Oh, by the way, I think you have some old quilts and cotton clothes that you don't need at home. If you can, you can donate them too. My lord is benevolent, for the sake of the border." The people of Yasukuni are not less worried. We should also follow this benevolence and show more love. What's more, if you have acquaintances with wealthy households or families with good friends, you can help them with the main points. Bar!"

"Yes!" Although he was a little bit ashamed of asking for old clothes and cotton, the boss had spoken, and for the sake of future development, he had better bear it.

After waving his hands for a while, after Li Kongzhu sent them away, he ordered his family to dig out all the old cotton that was no longer needed.

At this moment, while turning over the cage, Yu Jiadi looked at the woman who was writing a letter with a smile, "The girl is back, but she is worried about my uncle. For my uncle, I really want to take out all the old things." gone."

At that time Li Kongzhu sealed the written letter, after hearing this, he only hooked his lips and smiled lightly.

What she can do now is to help if she can, and she doesn't intend to help in vain.Writing this letter to Cui Jiu, if he can really overcome the difficulties with this, there will naturally be no less reason for her benefit.

"Beating~~" The meatballs playing on the couch thought of something fun, and they gnawed and yelled while buttoning the thick mattress.

The seven-month-old child is now about to grow teeth, and the saliva flowed out a dozen times, and after a while, the bitten place was immediately wet.

Li Kongzhu called Jianxiao.

After she came in and handed the letter to her, and whispered a few words in her ear, he made her back out.

Seeing that the boy was biting harder and harder, he quickly hugged him up.

"Well~" The boy turned and kicked his legs unwillingly.

Now, his legs are getting stronger and stronger, after kicking a few times, Li Diaozhu's hands feel sore.

He patted his buttocks and said angrily, "Can't you be honest for a while?"

"Zizi~" Drooling and driving the train, Li Diaozhu had nothing to do with him.

Over there, Yu Jiadi took out the old quilts and tied them up. Seeing the two mothers and sons staring at each other, he couldn't help laughing, "My brother is getting more and more tempered now!"

"Yeah! I don't know who I look like!"

Li Kongzhu helplessly put his son back on the couch, shook his tired arms, thinking that both she and Zhao Junyi belonged to tepid people, this kid is so mischievous and lively, maybe he looks like him Original owner?

As soon as this idea popped up, the woman immediately shivered and shook her head.

When I went to see that boy again, I saw him screaming, crawling and rolling, playing wildly on the couch. Seeing this, the woman immediately slapped him down, "Slap!"

With the crisp sound of the buttocks, the woman stabbed her waist and shouted 'viciously', "Wanzi, will you follow your father or me when you grow up, be careful that I don't want you!"

"Wuah~~" The kid who obviously didn't understand her threat, didn't care if he got hit, but became more and more excited to play.

Yu Jia who was on the side listened, but was speechless for a while.

Inside the Imperial City of Beijing.

After Cui Jiu received the supplies and letters from Li Diaozhu, when he quickly folded the letters and read them, he felt both a toothache, a brain pain, and a whole body pain.

It's not that the suggestions in her letter are not good, on the contrary they are very good.

Not to mention helping him reduce the expenditure of the treasury, but also causing the gang of rich families to bleed. If another person proposes such a good strategy, he might give him a promotion and make a fortune, and make him a cronies or something.

But the person who mentioned it was Li Kongzhu, not to say that he can't give her the corresponding reward, but that whenever he thinks of that farewell, when he is threatened by that woman, he will feel like a thorn. It kept pricking his heart.

And this thorn, people still won't let him pull it out, and they will pierce him deeper and deeper, so he must obey obediently.

Although this kind of thing is a great humiliation for an emperor, but in the future, he has to endure it again.

Thinking about what the woman asked her uncle to do when she came back from the border, he still couldn't figure out how she planned to take revenge on him and Jun Yizhi.

Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle. He heard that Jun Yizhi's son could crawl now, and thinking that he might be able to run after a year, he couldn't help but have another headache.

Throwing the letter on the table very irritatedly.

Seeing this, the chief eunuch on the side shrank his neck and licked his face with a smile: "Which of the emperor's eyes is offending you?"

Glancing away at him angrily, Cui Jiu crumpled the letter into a ball, raised his hand to throw it away, and after thinking about it, put it back again.

Shouted coldly at the chief eunuch, "Mo Mo!"

"Yes!"

……

The new year is coming to an end, but everyone's workshop located in Zhaojia Village has ushered in a golden plaque from the royal family.

In Zhaojia Village at the time of introduction, all the men, women and children of the village came out of the village and knelt down to greet him.

Kneeling all the way to the door of Renren's workshop.

I saw the big eunuch in the dark red eunuch uniform and the head eunuch hat, holding the imperial decree in his hand, and singing "Jun Li Shi received the decree".

At that time, Li Kongzhu, who was leading all the employees and partners of Renren Workshop, took the lead in kneeling down to receive the imperial edict despite the doubts of the crowd after burning incense.

Its purpose is to the effect that some people praise kindness and the like, and it is a reward, and it also bestows a few big characters on the kindness written by the Holy Majesty himself.

After reading the imperial decree, after Li Kongzhu respectfully took over the holy finger, the chief eunuch carried over the plaque.

Looking at the big golden plaque, the people of Zhaojia Village felt their hearts beating non-stop, and their eyes were a little blinded by the golden light.

Some of the villagers who were a bit confused, even thought they were dreaming, and slapped themselves several times.

Waiting for the pain to come, he murmured in disbelief: "It's true, it's true! Since our village has ushered in the imperial decree, we have also got the emperor's own handwriting?! My God! This is really smoke from the ancestor's grave!" After saying that, he began to kowtow to the ground fiercely.

Seeing this, the other villagers yelled "Tianli Tianli" and kowtowed at the same time.

Li Kongzhu is a little speechless about such behavior, but he also knows that in this era of supremacy of imperial power, a village that can usher in a decree, no matter how dilapidated it is, if it is properly utilized, it can become a blessed place for everyone to live in. .

This Zhao family village is probably going to become the most sought-after place in and outside the northern city because of this decree.

The author enshrined the imperial decree in the high hall of the workshop, and hung the plaque on the door of the main hall for guests to visit.

After finishing all this, Li Kongzhu followed Chen Baisheng to lead the villagers, and began to set up a banquet, and warmly entertained this visitor from the imperial city who came from afar.

After sending off the chief eunuch, when welcoming the New Year's Eve, Li Diaozhu could say that the New Year's Eve gift had been received with a limp hand. Seeing the officials' wives, they also posted posts one after another, inviting her to a banquet after the festival or something.

Looking at the pile of posts stacked high, Li Kongzhu was also extremely helpless.

This is the sequelae of being rich and prosperous. There are so many posts, although she doesn't want to go to any of them, but for the sake of easy road in the future, she always has to pick a few out for a walk.

Picking and picking out a few big households, throwing them to Yu's family and saying: "Remember to remind me after the next year, these few households will call you sick after they leave!"

The Yu family nodded, put the selected ones in a brocade box and packed them up, and threw the rest into the warehouse as waste paper and ignored them.

On the 29th day of the year, Li Diaozhu brought Li Jingzhe over to celebrate the New Year together. In addition, he sent someone to Haojia Village to express condolences to the Hao family.

Jianxiao, who had returned from giving gifts at that time, also brought some news of some sort.

It is said that Li Meilan ran away from the embroidery shop, as if she had gone to see Hao Shi.

"When the subordinates came down, the old lady cried miserably, saying that the subordinates should come down and beg the master!"

"Oh? What do you want me to ask?" Li Kongzhu threw an oily fruit into his mouth and asked in a neutral tone.

"I told you to help Li Meilan, master."

"How did you answer?"

"Subordinate?" Jian Xiao impatiently parted his ears and hair, "The subordinate was annoyed by crying at that time, so he drew his sword!"

At that time, the old lady was crying so much that she was really annoyed, and at the same time, she used her internal strength to force the sword out of its sheath.

In just a moment, the old lady successfully shut up, allowing her to quickly withdraw and back out when she found the time.

"Oh!" Li Kongzhu nodded, with a calm face, "I think she saw me giving a gift, and thought I still missed her, and hope was raised in her heart. Why don't you go and tell me that if she doesn't want to stay If you go to Haojia Village, you can follow Li Meilan and go to the embroidery shop to stay."

"By the way, Li Meilan should have been hiding there. Someone arrested her and sent her back to the embroidery shop. I don't want people to think that my sister is a person who doesn't keep her promise."

"Subordinates understand!" Jian Xiao listened, and immediately retreated.

Li Diaozhu took a sip of tea after waiting for the person to retreat.

This Hao Shi, now she is just trying to save face, since she doesn't have the slightest self-knowledge.

And Li Meilan, who signed the contract and sneaked out of the embroidery shop, is afraid that if she returns this time, it will be difficult to embroider that good embroidery.

Thinking about it, the woman rubbed her chin with an unscrupulous smile, imagining the 300 taels of silver that Li Meilan would earn.

300 taels, I wonder if I can earn enough in 20 years?

"Elder Sister!" Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard the excited voice of a young man from outside. Li Kongzhu raised his eyes and saw Li Jingzhe, who was taller, and Zhao Niqiu, who was holding meatballs, leading the way. Stepped in from the outside.

He smiled and beckoned him to come forward, "Have you finished posting the couplets?"

"It's over, Wanzi woke up and just cried. I wanted to hug him, but..." The little guy wouldn't let him hug him, and he only recognized Zhao Niqiu, but it made him feel like he was stuffed with cotton. It's hard.

"Yeah!" Li Kongzhu took over the meatballs, seeing his disappointed face, he smiled and said: "He hasn't seen you for more than half a year, so he doesn't recognize you, after a few years, he will have a memory, it will be fine! "

Li Jingzhe hummed in disappointment, followed Zhao Niqiu to the small kang in the main room, took a sip with the pastry in his hand, lowered his eyes, and started to turn red there.

Li Kongzhu also sighed in his heart, but also felt helpless.

At the end of the New Year's Eve, it was not very lively, although there were more Li Jingzhe, but Hua Lao was missing.

After dinner at that time, after Li Kongzhu put the meatballs to sleep, he braced himself to play with the children.

When it was midnight, Li Diaozhu had no choice but to hug him and coax him in the room because he was afraid that Rouwanzi would hear the sound of firecrackers.

For him, they planned to buy fireworks this year, but they were temporarily canceled.

After Uncle Yu simply set off the firecrackers, everyone ate a few dumplings, and this year has passed by like this...

After the festival, Li Diaozhu was busy rushing to the banquet, and had no time to separate himself.

As for Zhao Junyi's army far away on the border, because they had sufficient medicinal materials and supplies, the advance went very smoothly.

Although Jinghuang's move stopped the Bianguo army for several months, it also made the people of Jingguo really hate him.

Some radicals, even forming an army of tens of thousands, went to attack several times in person despite the dissuasion of the changed country army.

Although the loss was heavy, it was enough to show that the current emperor of Yasukuni is like that mouse crossing the street, to the point where everyone shouts and beats him.

With a smooth advance, the army led by Zhao Junyi successively descended on several cities in the extreme north, and it was about to reach the final step, but at this time, winter had already passed and spring was here, and spring was blooming.

In Zhaojia Village, where Li Kongzhu lives, when Li Kongzhu said that he wanted to transform Zhaojia Village into the largest Taoyuan tourist village, every household listened to it, but picked sour peach trees and planted them in front of and behind the house.

Even the most iconic poplar tree at the edge of the village was taken over by the head of the village. He picked two huge sour peaches and planted them there as a facade tree for welcoming guests.

Li Kongzhu saw the high enthusiasm of the crowd, so he sent money to every household and started to build roads.

At that time, all the people in Zhaojia Village paved the roads in the village, no matter how wide or small, they used small stones to make bluestone paths.

In this way, when the flowering period arrives, those rich households will not appear bumpy or uneven when they pass by in their carriages.

During this year, Li Kongzhu planned to advance Beishan to another level.

The promotion at that time was not for replanting peach trees.

Instead, on the outer edge of the North Mountain that was planned to advance, after the area was drawn, people built a high wall to block the way of beasts and human beings.

And again, try to build plank roads and tree houses on those big trees.

In this way, when the construction is completed in the coming year, when the peach blossoms in this village are in full bloom.

At that time, the tree house on the tree can be used as a good gimmick again during the blooming period.

The ninth day of April is the day when Rouwanzi turns one year old.

No matter how busy Li Kongzhuzi was this day, he took the time to come and brought a few close relatives over to help catch Zhou.

At that time, two meatballs with upper and lower teeth had grown, and she was wearing a bright red festive Xiaochun shirt.A gold collar given by Cui Jiu was hung around his neck, and he was wearing small gold ingot shoes. On his head was a braid and a red bow.

Sitting on the big round table, shaking my little head there, looking left and right, I don't know what to grab.

And standing beside Li Kongzhu, Li Chong, Mai Ya'er and Wang's family were also very speechless and didn't know what to let Xiao'er catch.

I saw that there was nothing else on the table, but Li Kongzhu had filled it with big golden ingots.

"Sister-in-law, why do I think that you are not asking him to catch Zhou, but asking him to take money as his lifeblood!"

"What's wrong?" Anyway, he is going to inherit the family business in the future, so naturally he has to cultivate his love of money, and if he wants to fight and kill like Zhao Junyi, shouldn't she worry to death?
Standing by the side and supporting him, Yu Jiadi understood very well that she would rather her younger brother become a land rich man than follow his uncle to be a great general!
"Son! Hurry up and grab a gold ingot for mother!" Here, Li Kongzhu encouraged his son by clapping his hands.

The kid over there looked left and right, shook his head, and pouted in aggrieved, "Yo~~" He doesn't like these, he loves the little sword, and the little sword that sister Jianxiao gave him!
Seeing that he was about to burst into tears, Li Diaozhu rolled up his sleeves angrily, "Hurry up, your mother has worked so hard to build a large family business, if you don't inherit it, I'll beat you up!"

"Wow, daddy~"

"Father, what kind of father, who called you father, you don't know where to put your father, let me tell you, crying is not good, hurry up and grab the gold ingot!"

It would be better if he didn't call daddy, but when he called daddy, she would vomit.

Obviously his cheap father has never taken him with him for a day, and he doesn't know his existence.

But this kid, under the guidance of Yu Jiadi, and being carried out by Zhao Nixiu to play from time to time, since he learned how to move, he called him daddy.

For this reason, Li Diaozhu often felt that she was worthless, and even comforted her when she was far away from home, saying that the little brother also heard that the children in the village called him daddy every now and then, and he missed daddy.

Is this changing direction and saying that she is cheating?

But she hasn't asked this kid to write letters for more than half a year?At the end of every letter, she let this kid paw print, but that guy was dull, and thought she was deliberately keeping the letter paper clean as he said at the beginning.

Shaking her head, when she came back to her senses, she saw her son finally took a gold ingot with his mouth puckered under her staring eyes.

After Li Kongzhu watched it, the corners of Li Kongzhu's mouth burst into joy.

Stretching out his arms, he was about to hug the kid when he saw the kid throwing the gold ingot and shouting, "Sword~~sword~"

In an instant Li Kongzhu's face darkened, and while looking away from him, he shouted at the corner of the yard: "Jianxiao, are you playing sword games for him again?"

"..." Everyone was speechless, you all looked at me and I looked at you, and they felt that this mother's good life was unreliable.

The northernmost area of ​​Yasukuni is also the last place where Emperor Jing occupied himself.

Looking at the steep and difficult peak ahead, Zhao Junyi and Hua Lao stood side by side, thinking about how to take down this last barrier.

"It's a good place to choose. This mountain of a thousand feet cannot be overturned. If you attack directly, it has the potential to be a one-man defense. If you attack by force, you may suffer heavy damage."

Zhao Junyi nodded, seeing that there seemed to be clouds floating on the high mountain, his eyes sank a bit.

This is the last barrier. If you pass this, you will be able to take the capital city of the thieves all the way.

But how and how to pass this barrier has become the biggest problem today.

Turning back, Zhao Junyi invited the old man to the barracks again.

Afterwards, the generals came, looked at the mountains and ravines piled up on the sand table, frowned, and asked, "What tricks do the generals have? Can the casualties be minimized?"

"What strategy do we need? The current emperor of Yasukuni is like a grasshopper after autumn. He is hiding inside and dare not come out. He thinks we can't afford anyone."

"Idiot!" A heavy shout rang out, causing the person who spoke to turn his head to look immediately, "Who?"

"Old man!"

Hua Lao gave that person a farewell look, and after that person looked at it, although he lowered his eyes and dared not make a sound, his eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.

Seeing him like this, the old man snorted, "Why, still not convinced?"

"Subordinates dare not!" The lazy clasped fists and muffled voice were clearly calling for dissatisfaction with him.

The old man didn't argue with him, but simply said: "The Emperor Jing now has no more than 20 troops. Although our army and the Jing militia have an army of nearly 60. But with this barrier, if the soldiers of the Jing Kingdom If you stick to it and don't hesitate to annihilate the whole army, I dare to say that our 60 army may be able to win, but there is not much left. To exchange such a big sacrifice for the head of Emperor Jing is to win Yes, I lost too!"

"And the leader who uses this method, what is it if he is not a fool?"
