Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 145 Letter from Xiao Yichen
One thousand 300 taels of silver was only one-tenth of what Xu Dongcai had.

Moreover, silly water fish like Gao and Xiao Gao are unique in the whole capital. Xu Dongcai immediately asked the stores to cut prices urgently and sell them at a loss, but there are still very few buyers.

And the shopkeepers of other leather goods shops, seeing that Suyifang's business is so hot, boldly stepped forward and asked if they could buy goods from here, and the price would be higher.

With such a good business, a huge profit, and an exclusive monopoly, the shopkeeper of the leather goods store was in the mood to try it. No one thought that Ye Shuang would agree, but unexpectedly, she agreed!
Ye Shuang said generously: "If you have money, let's earn together! However, the supply of goods is limited, and the production time of down jackets is long. If you need it, please place an order in advance, so that I can arrange production, but please don't be greedy, and buy according to the sales of your own store. , so as not to cause a backlog!"

This was a decision she made after discussing with Lu Xinyan.

If in the whole capital city, only Su Yifang made a lot of money, it would definitely arouse the jealousy of all the garment shops and leather goods stores out of stock.

If some of the profits are distributed, everyone will be grateful for the generosity of the clothing workshop, and will stand by their side no matter what, forming an invisible force.

At the same time, if the mastermind behind this leather goods incident wants to stir up troubles, it won't be able to cause any big storms.

Xu Dongcai originally wanted to incite people from other fur shops and garment shops to deal with Su Yi Fang together, but Su Yi Fang took the lead and bought everyone. Instead, his own Xu's fur shop became the object of boycott by all fur shops. Without him, when Xu's fur shop put out all the fur goods in the morning, coupled with the secret instigation of someone with a heart, everyone knew that this year's Uber customer's goods were swallowed up by Xu Dongcai alone.

Although whoever gets the goods is the one who is responsible, but for those who eat alone, eating meat by themselves makes others not even able to drink broth, who is not jealous?
So when Suyifang declared that it would not supply down jackets to Xu's Leather Store, everyone agreed with it.

Shopkeeper Liu was busy fooling Xiao Gao before. He didn't know that Suyifang had already released this statement. When he saw that there were no customers in the leather goods store and the inventory was piled up like a mountain, he suggested to Xu Dongcai, "It's better to go to Suyifang to enter the shop. Some down jackets come, and when the time comes, buy down and give away leather, which can recover some losses."

Seeing the credit of shopkeeper Liu's credit for returning 300 taels from the Gao family when he was a child, Xu Dongcai held back his temper with a dark face, "Suyi Fang has already ordered that Xu Dongcai will not supply me with down jackets!"

Shopkeeper Liu was taken aback, and immediately realized that Lu Xinyan was not an idiot. As soon as the leather goods were displayed, she knew who was the person who stole Uber's goods from her back then. How could she supply them with down jackets?
"Then what should we do next?" Shopkeeper Liu asked weakly: "Now the store has reduced the price to [-]% off, and no one cares about it."

What is the loss of this silver!There is still a possibility to earn back the loss, but the master...Xu Dongcai was very irritable, "You have full power to deal with the leather goods in the shop, no matter how low the price is, deal with it all!"

"Understood, the boss." Having said that, leather goods are high-cost items after all, how could it be possible to lose a few copper coins?

Moreover, Xu Dongcai’s working capital has already been taken up by monopolizing this batch of goods from Uber this time. If the funds are not returned in time, other industries under Xu Dongcai’s name will also be affected.

Shopkeeper Liu has been a shopkeeper for so many years, so he is very aware of the pros and cons of this, so in the end, this matter is thankless.

But he is just a part-time worker. According to the above, he can only try his best to do his best.

There is no sunshine today, and the vast expanse of whiteness slows down the night.

Shopkeeper Liu ordered the shopkeeper to prepare to close the store until there were no people on the street. The shopkeeper stayed in the shop for a day without any customers, and the shopkeeper refused to let him leave early. Spirit, get up and close the door.

At this time, a beautiful girl came in from the door, with a picturesque smile, followed by two maids with the same good looks.

The guy was stunned for a while, until a clear and melodious voice sounded, "Who is the shopkeeper?"

Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly went up to meet the girl, and seeing the girl was well dressed, he put on the brightest smile, "Miss, today the price of leather in our store will be reduced by [-]%..."

The girl interrupted with a smile, "I am Lu Xinyan, the eldest lady of Ankangbo Mansion Lu Xinyan."

Shopkeeper Liu's head exploded with a bang, and the smile froze on his face, becoming extremely unnatural, "I wonder if Miss Lu is here, what advice can I give you?"

Lu Xinyan chuckled, "I want to buy all the leather goods from your Xu's Leather Store."

Shopkeeper Liu trembled, thinking he heard it wrong, "Miss Lu, are you joking?"

Now who doesn't know that leather goods can't be sold because of the down jackets newly produced by your Suyifang.Return all?This is to play with them, right?
"I, Lu Xinyan, never joke." Lu Xinyan smiled, "If you are willing to sell all the leather goods in your hands to me at [-]% off the purchase price, I can accept them all and pay in cash."

[-]% off the purchase price?So ruthless, so accurate! "Miss, since you and Master Ye's Suyifang launched down jackets, this year's fur business has been difficult. I don't know what Missy wants these fur goods for?" Shopkeeper Liu tentatively asked.

"The useless leather goods in your hands, in my hands, I will turn them into treasures!" Lu Xinyan raised her eyebrows, and the eyebrows were flamboyant.

Shopkeeper Liu was so angry that his teeth hurt.

Xu's fur shop was caught off guard by the down jacket that Lu Xinyan made, and was forced to cut the price drastically, but they came to the door and openly offered to buy your leather goods, and said that she could turn waste into treasure!

Don't sell this, it's irritating, there are so many goods backlogged, not to mention paying back, it would be nice to lose a little less!
Let's sell this, the loss will be less, but it will be even more irritating!He tried every means to snatch the leather goods from others, but in the end he sold them at a discount of [-]% and lost [-]% of his money in vain!
If Lu Xinyan sent someone to pretend to come to buy leather goods, and sell them with his eyes closed, that's all. Angry, even if you don’t sell it!

Is there anything more irritating than this?

Shopkeeper Liu knew that if this matter was reported to the police, there would be a lot of scolding, but he couldn't decide this matter himself, so he had to report to the police at the risk of being scolded!

"Miss Lu, I can't decide this matter. I'll report it to the chief to see what the chief thinks."

Lu Xinyan nodded understandingly, "I'm not in a hurry, but tomorrow night at the latest, I hope to hear from Shopkeeper Liu. If it's after tomorrow night, just pretend I haven't been here today!"

Shopkeeper Liu hesitated, but he had to laugh and said: "I will definitely bring the words to the boss!"

When Xu Dongcai received this news, he was kneeling in front of his master's screen.

When the man behind the screen heard it, he suddenly burst into laughter. People who were not familiar with him thought he was happy when they heard it, but those who had been with him for a long time knew the anger in his smile!
Although Xu Dongcai has not been with him for a long time, it is impossible for anyone to laugh at this matter!
Charcoal was burned in the room, which made it warm. When Xu Dongcai came, it was cold outside and he came here wearing thick leather.

After entering, he didn't dare to take off his clothes, and just knelt down.

After a long time, the whole body is sweaty and sticky.

But he dared not move.

The situation that I thought was a sure win, I lost again.

Losing money is small, he Xu Dongcai is willing to post all his belongings to make up for it!
However, from the beginning of this fur war, the fight was not for money, but for face, the face lost in the last grain battle!

Now that she didn't earn back her face, she lost another level!
Xu Dongcai could imagine how annoyed he felt in his heart as his own master!I must be eager to get rid of it and hurry up!
And my own life...

Thinking of the misery of Wan Jinlai's family, he couldn't help shivering, like a sudden gust of winter wind blowing in a warm spring, chilling to the bone.

The moment Xu Dongcai was thinking wildly, the man behind the screen stopped laughing and said coldly, "Go down!"

Xu Dongcai knelt there, unable to react for a while.

The man raised his voice, "Do you want me to send you off personally?"

Only then did Xu Dongcai realize that he had heard correctly, and got up at an unprecedented speed, "I'm sorry, master, I have a duty to entrust my subordinates! My subordinates leave!"

The man snorted coldly.

After Xu Dongcai left, the man beckoned, and a black figure appeared, "Proceed to the next plan."

"Yes, master."

Lu Xinyan, Lu Xinyan, since you dare to provoke me openly, then I will let you experience the fate of provoking me!
After losing two consecutive games, I admit your luck and talent in business, but what about other aspects?Will you have such good luck?
let us wait and see!
-

After Lu Xinyan returned home at night, Xia Zhi told her about Gao and Xiao Gao borrowing money from the bank to hoard fur goods.

Lu Xinyan snorted, "They can do such stupid things?"

A big pie fell from the sky, either a trap or a trap!How could these two people be so naive, so easy to be fooled by others?As long as you send someone to inquire about it, you will know the whole thing clearly!
"I usually see that the two of them are neither smart nor stupid, but at the critical moment, their IQ dropped sharply, and they actually cheated themselves! It's good, it saves me the time to find a way to deal with them!" Lu Xinyan said.

After stocking up on leather goods, Xiao Gao hasn't gone out anymore. Anyway, he has the goods in hand, so don't worry!

When Lu Xinyan went to greet Gao Shi in the morning of the ninth day of the lunar new year, the arrogance of Xiao Gao's eyes looking down at people made Lu Xinyan want to laugh.

She thought Xiao Gao would immediately tell about the leather goods and asked her to buy money for the store, but Xiao Gao could bear it and didn't mention a word, which made Lu Xinyan very surprised.

She didn't know that Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Gao's idea was that anyway, the money would be interest-free for three days, and then it would be held for another day or two. Seeing that there were no goods in the fur shop, they would definitely be more anxious. Then they would take out the fur goods and say Maybe the price can be raised up!
Since they didn't say anything, Lu Xinyan would not be so stupid as to take the initiative to mention it. After inviting Ann, she went back to Huanxiyuan.

As soon as he arrived at Huanxiyuan, Qi Fei got out from nowhere, handed her a note, and left quickly, so fast that Lu Xinyan couldn't stop him for questioning.

Lu Xinyan was baffled, opened the note and saw that it was a letter from Xiao Yichen.

Her heart beat two minutes faster for no reason, and she was even more excited after reading it. She saw the words written on it: Sheng, Yutougong, two, three, four.

won!won!Great, that guy is coming back alive!
After she was excited for a while, she suddenly became excited, bah, he won and came back, what does it matter to me?

Ah, no, Li Yu is coming back too, and he has done a great job. I'm so happy for Sigu!I want to tell Sigu the news!
Lu Xinyan put the letter back into her sleeve, ready to be notified to Gong Jin, and as if she suddenly remembered something, she took it out and read it again, this time she couldn't help frowning.

'Victory' is easy to understand, it means that Xiao Yichen led the 40 expeditionary army to defeat the [-] Assassin army, and rescued General Li and the Li family army!
'Yu's head work', simple and straightforward, it means that Li Yu not only survived the battlefield, but also made a head work!
But what does 'two, three, four' mean?
code word?

But there is no hint of this code word at all, who knows?How do you guess?
Lu Xinyan couldn't help being depressed for a while, but Qi Fei who delivered the letter ran away again, even if she wanted to ask him, she didn't even have to ask!
"Miss!" Qingtong suddenly appeared at this time, "The shopkeeper Liu entrusted someone to send a letter, saying that he agreed to sell the leather goods under Xu's name to Miss at a discount of [-]% of the purchase price."

Lu Xinyan withdrew her thoughts, "You take the money and go with Uncle Ziyan Junwu, hand over the money with one hand, and deliver the goods with the other."

"Yes, ma'am."

After Qing Tong left, Lu Xinyan asked Xia Zhi to inform Feng Shi and Gong Jin that she would visit them tomorrow.

The code word is to think about it at night to see if she can figure it out, but this good news must be known to Gong Jin as soon as possible to reassure her.

After Lu Xinyan made her decision, she began to concentrate on drawing pictures.

Soon, several design drafts were completed.

All leather-focused down styles, which are warmer and more valuable than down jackets made of ordinary materials.

The color of the leather is not only the original color, but also will be dyed into various colors, because the Chinese New Year is approaching, and the red is the main color.

After finishing the painting, the moment Lu Xinyan stopped to rest, she thought of the letter again.

A word of victory, I don't know how much hardship it contains!
Although Lu Xinyan grew up in a peaceful age, she also watched a lot of anti-Japanese war movies when she was a child. She knew the hardships of fighting. Not only did she die at any time, she also had to face hunger and cold from time to time...

cold?

There was a quick gleam in her eyes.

Since they sacrificed their lives and shed blood to protect the peace of Tianwu, then as a member of Tianwu Kingdom, she will do something small to repay them!

Xu's leather goods store paid the money and delivered the goods very smoothly. When the goods arrived at the Suyifang factory, they notified Feng's and Gong Jin that Lu Xinyan would go to see them tomorrow. Xia Zhi had already sent Lu Xinyan's latest design draft to Ye Shuang In his hand, there is also a letter attached.

After reading it, Ye Shuang agreed with Lu Xinyan's proposal, "Xia Zhi, you go back and tell Zhuzhu, I agree with her idea very much, and everything will be done according to her wishes."

"Yes, Master Ye."

-

On the morning of the tenth day of the lunar new year, the weather became colder and colder, and the cold wind was like ice knives, cutting people's faces and ears with severe pain.

Lu Xinyan went out early in the morning, took Qingtong Baizhi and Xiaohe to Guangping Houfu.

The Guangping Hou's Mansion is the same as before, not counting the tall red lacquer gates, but the four-character golden plaque of Guangping Hou's Mansion flying around. When the gate is opened, Uncle Fu's friendly and happy smiling face is revealed.

Goodbye made Lu Xinyan feel as if she had passed away.

It has been more than 20 days since I left and came back again.

"Miss Zhuzhu, it's cold outside, come in quickly." Uncle Fu greeted her warmly with a smile on his face, "And Miss Qingtong, Miss Baizhi, and Miss Xiaohe, come in quickly."

Qingtong and the others shouted in unison: "Hello, Uncle Fu."

"Okay, come in quickly." Uncle Fu smiled.

As soon as Lu Xinyan stepped into the gate, she suddenly saw Sun Nanny who was smiling all over her face, and she froze for a while.

"Miss Zhuzhu, the old lady and Miss Si have come to pick you up in person."

As soon as Lu Xinyan raised her head, she saw Feng Shi and Gong Jin standing under the long corridor not far from the Chuihua Gate, looking at her happily. Their faces were flushed by the cold wind, but their lips were white. It was obvious that they had been here for more than an hour. meeting.

Feeling warm in Lu Xinyan's heart, she walked over quickly and held the hands of the two, "Grandmother, Fourth Aunt, why are you waiting here? Fourth Aunt, you are really serious, knowing that Grandma is not in good health, and let her come out to catch the cold!"

Gong Jin smiled helplessly, "It's Aniang who insists on coming to pick you up in person, and I can't stop her."

"Grandmother came here for a while, it's not cold." Feng took Lu Xinyan's hand, looked at her carefully, and said with a smile, "I lost weight."

Two simple words, but full of infinite care and worry, Lu Xinyan's nose turned sore, "Zhuzhu is very good, not thin, but grandma is getting slimmer."

Feng said with a chuckle: "Grandmother has been doing very well recently. Ah Cheng's family is back. Grandmother lives like a dream every day. Apart from worrying about you and A Jin, grandma has nothing else on her mind in her life."

"Zhuzhu made grandma worry about it." Lu Xinyan said ashamedly.

Gong Jin saw that the two people's minds were touched, and hurriedly breathed into the palm of his hand, "Aniang, Zhuzhu, can you go back to the room and talk, I'm so cold."

"That's right, old lady, Miss Zhuzhu, the two of you forgot the cold when you met, but the maidservant is already shivering from the cold." Nanny Sun joked.

Lu Xinyan and Feng Shi looked at each other and smiled, and hugged each other affectionately, "Grandmother, Zhuzhu will help you into the house."

Feng Shi responded loudly, "Okay!"

Gong Jin pretended to be jealous, and couldn't help complaining, "Aniang, Zhuzhu is your own, isn't it? Well, I won't bother you, I'll go back to my yard. "

Lu Xinyan quickly put an arm around Gong Jin's with a smile on her face, "Fourth Aunt, don't be so stingy, you see grandma every day, and it took me so long to come here, so you're going to be jealous too? When you get married later, When you come back, make sure that grandma misses you more than me now."

When it comes to getting married, Gong Jin's mood fades a lot when he thinks of Li Yu, who doesn't know whether he will live or die.

In fact, among the three, Gong Jin lost the most. Lu Xinyan should eat and drink in Ankangbo Mansion, but this body is abnormal, no matter how much she eats and drinks, she will not get fat. Feng Shi hasn't seen her for a long time, and she is worried She was worried that she would feel thin because she was wronged.

As for the Feng family, Yuan Cheng, who is now Gong Yuancheng, went back to the capital with his wife and three children. After the family reunion, Feng Shi, as she said, feels like a dream every day. Gong Yuancheng's wife, Yun's temperament is bright and agile, very similar to Feng's personality when she was young. In addition, she grew up in the countryside and has no fancy, so Feng likes her very much. The key is the four children. Yun's education is excellent, Upright, responsible, polite, lively and cute, this alone made the Feng family very grateful to her, so the two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have never blushed during the time they have been together.

Feng's life is comfortable, before Bai Zhi recuperated properly, her body and bones have become better, she looks thinner, but in fact she has lost the previous swelling, and her spirit is much better, otherwise, according to her previous body, standing in this cold wind After a while, I was dizzy and dizzy.

As for Gong Jin, she was always worried that Li Yu, who was on the front line, would not be able to eat well or sleep soundly, but she was the thinnest one.

The few people had just walked not far away when a strange woman hurried forward, holding a little girl about ten years old, followed by three tall young men who looked very similar.

After a while, the woman walked up to Feng Shi and complained: "Mother, you are really serious. Miss Zhuzhu is coming, but you don't tell your daughter-in-law so that she can come to welcome her. How rude you are now!"

She has an ordinary appearance, but she has a fresh air, which makes people feel very comfortable. She is Gong Yuancheng's wife, Yunshi.

Feng said cheerfully: "I didn't tell you on purpose, I wanted you to sleep more, you also know your current body, Zhuzhu is not an outsider, so I don't care about these vain rituals."

Lu Xinyan looked at Yun's lower abdomen unexpectedly, Yun's face became hot, and she said generously: "The doctor confirmed a few days ago, it's almost two months."

"Congratulations, Auntie." Lu Xinyan thanked her sincerely, feeling happy for Feng Shi.

Yun said with a smile: "After I gave birth to Xiaodong, I haven't moved for almost ten years. I thought it was because I didn't get used to my body when I first arrived in the capital, so I didn't take it to heart. A Niang was worried and insisted on asking the doctor to see it. This is the only way to see it." It was found."

Feng said: "You were still climbing up and down two days ago. When I think about it, I'm so scared that I'm sweating."

The two had no scruples about talking, and they seemed to have a harmonious relationship, Lu Xinyan felt more at ease.

"Li'er, Feng'er, Yu'er, Xiaodong, call someone quickly."

"Sister Zhuzhu." Yun's second son, 14-year-old Gong Feng, the third son, 12-year-old Gong Yu, and the youngest daughter, nine-year-old Gong Xiaodong, called out obediently at the same time.

Only Gong Li reluctantly shouted: "Sister Zhuzhu."

In fact, he can't complain about the palace ceremony, he is also sixteen this year, but he is two months younger than Lu Xinyan, but a man of seven feet should call a peer who is so much shorter than himself as his sister, so it is inevitable that he will feel uncomfortable.

Lu Xinyan smiled and said: "Be good."

"Go back to the house first." After standing for a long time, Feng couldn't take it anymore.

Charcoal was burning in Fushouyuan, warm as spring, Lu Xinyan gave gifts to several people, Feng's Gongjin and Yun's were jewelry bought last time, the palace gift was a sharp dagger, and Gongfeng was a few people. In this anecdote, Gong Yu is a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Gong Xiaodong is a beautiful spring dress made by Lu Xinyan herself.

It seemed that they had done enough homework before coming here, and the members of the Yun family were very satisfied. For the sake of the dagger, Gong Li decided to recognize this sister for the time being.

Lu Xinyan said: "I still have a gift for you."

At this moment, Qingtong came over with two big bags, and after opening, there were several down jackets inside.

"Down jacket?" Gong Li exclaimed, "I heard it was sold out yesterday, where did you get it?"

Gong Jin coughed, "I forgot to tell you that Zhuzhu is a part of Suyifang, and all the clothes inside are designed by Zhuzhu."

"Sister Zhuzhu, you are amazing, can you teach me?" Gong Xiaodong's eyes glowed with admiration.

She is a child who grew up in the countryside. She is not as beautiful and delicate as Gongqian, but she is lively and simple, like a kapok growing at the foot of a mountain. Nourishment and destruction, still survived firmly.

If Gong Qian gave people the feeling of love and affection, what Gong Xiaodong gave people was the feeling of vitality.

Lu Xinyan fell in love with it from the first sight, she blinked, "I'm so happy."

Yun's allowed Gong Xiaodong to make requests. For her, as long as it wasn't too much, she was willing to let the child face rejection and setbacks by himself.

Seeing that Lu Xinyan agreed, she said to Gong Xiaodong seriously: "Xiaodong, this is an opportunity you asked for yourself, you must study hard in the future, and you can't give up halfway, you know?"

"Understood, A Niang." Gong Xiaodong replied crisply.

Several people chatted and laughed for a while, having fun, Lu Xinyan took the opportunity to ask Bai Zhi to take the pulse of Feng Shi, Bai Zhi nodded, expressing that everything was fine, and prescribed a prescription for her to recuperate according to the prescription.

Then Feng Shi asked Bai Zhi to feel Yun Shi's pulse, and everything was normal, which made Feng Shi very happy.

Although Feng's health is better, she is still getting tired due to her age, and Yun's is pregnant and needs more rest.

Lu Xinyan said playfully: "Grandmother, aunt, I want to go to Sigu's for a meeting and talk quietly."

Feng knew whether she wanted to rest by herself, or gave her a blank look, "You girl, you and Jin'er have something to hide from grandma, don't you?"

Not before, but maybe today, Lu Xinyan stuck out her tongue, "How can there be, grandma, the conscience of heaven and earth, if you don't believe me, ask fourth aunt."

"I'm sure I'm hiding it from my mother. As for whether Zhuzhu is there, I can't guarantee it." Gong Jin immediately betrayed his teammates.

"Fourth Aunt!" Lu Xinyan frowned, pretending to be sullen at being exposed, which made Feng laugh again, "Okay, okay, grandma is tired and wants to take a break, you go to Jiner's and sit down Bar."

Gong Xiaodong wanted to follow, but Yun Shi held her back and glared at her, Gong Xiaodong made a face at her, and ran to find Gong Qian.

I don't know if it's because of the winter or what, Gong Jin's yard feels more desolate than when Lu Xinyan left.

The trees in the courtyard were bare, and snow was still piled on the trees. The red lanterns hanging on the porch disappeared at some point, and the room was extremely cold.

Gong Jin never thought that Lu Xinyan would come to her yard on purpose, "Zhuzhu, I never thought you would come here, so I didn't make any preparations in advance, you wait for a while. Qiuhua, go get some hot tea and snacks Come."

"Yes, Miss." After Qiuhua answered, she stood there and bit her lip, "Miss Zhuzhu, please..."

"Qiu Hua." Gong Jin glanced at her, Qiu Hua's eyes were red, with a stubborn expression on his face, after several struggles, he turned and left.

"Si Gu, it's so cold in your house, didn't you use charcoal?" Lu Xinyan rolled up her sleeves, her neck felt chilly, feeling that the cold wind was everywhere.

"I think it's okay, I can bear it, so it's useless." Gong Jin said: "If I knew you were coming, I would have asked Qiuhua to heat up the room first."

Lu Xinyan twitched the corners of her mouth, reached out to touch the teapot on the table, her eyes drooped slightly, and her voice was calm, "I see that the maids here at Sigu's place are becoming more and more dissatisfied. There is snow on the trees and no one cares about them. The lanterns under the house The teapot is cold, and even the quilt on the bed is too thin. If it is not for going to grandma, I am afraid that the clothes on the fourth aunt are too thin to keep warm! The fourth aunt is thinking about her love for many years If you don’t want to teach them a lesson, let me be an ugly person, tell my grandmother and aunt about this, and let them come forward to replace the maid in your courtyard.”

Gong Jin hurriedly said: "It's none of their business, it's all my request! It's rare to see snow in the capital, I haven't seen it in a few years, and it's rare to go out, so let the snow on the tree pile up, you can appreciate it more A few days; I don’t go out at night, the lantern is hung under the eaves, the light shines in, I can’t sleep well; the tea is hot in the morning, because I went to A Niangna, so it’s cold now, as for the quilt and clothes, it’s the same as using charcoal. I'm in good health, I don't feel cold, so I'm a little thinner, and you see I'm fine now."

After Lu Xinyan finished listening, she seemed to believe it, and smiled faintly, "Fourth Aunt probably doesn't have a good appetite recently, and she doesn't eat much."

Gong Jin heaved a sigh of relief, and also smiled, "Zhuzhu, you are so powerful, nothing can be hidden from your eyes."

"Since the fourth aunt knows how powerful I am, why do you still lie to me?" Lu Xinyan said quietly: "You did all this for Li Yu, right? He went to the Southwest to endure hardships for you, and you don't want to live in luxury at home by yourself. The high bed warms the pillow, so I starve and suffer the cold with him! Fourth aunt, why are you doing this?"

Gong Jin's smile slowly disappeared, sadness came into her eyes, and a deep sigh escaped from her lips, "Zhuzhu, I know I'm stupid, but if I don't do something, I'm afraid I'll go crazy .”

She looked at Lu Xinyan, let all kinds of emotions in those eyes appear in front of Lu Xinyan one by one, and told Lu Xinyan all the words that had been hidden in her heart for a long time, "I have always regarded Li Yu as a child, the same size as Yu'er He told me that he wanted to marry me because he hugged me at Qingyan Temple. I was really surprised at the time. I was surprised that he was not the dandy who ran behind the little daughter-in-law and big girl every day in the rumors, but a pure-hearted kids!

But it was just a surprise. After all, considering my age and seniority, he should have called me Fourth Aunt, so I didn't take his words to heart. I thought it was just a child who didn't grow up, talking nonsense on the spur of the moment. That's all, but when he expressed his determination to me again and again, I was actually a little moved in my heart, but this kind of touch didn't have any affection between men and women, it was more of an appreciation, ah, it turns out This boy is a good boy!
It wasn't until he said that he was going to the southwest, not only for me, but also for the Li family, that I realized that Li Yu was not a young child, not an impulsive boy, but a man with ideas, responsibility and responsibility!What he said was not impulsive, but the result of careful consideration!From that moment on, I decided that he would not let me down, and I would not let him down. No matter what age, he is not afraid of going to hell, so what am I afraid of?In this life, I am Li Yu's man while alive, and Li Yu's ghost after death!

Since he left, I found that I was thinking about him day and night, so that I was afraid that something was wrong. I was concerned about any movement in Southwest, and quietly let people inquire about everything about Southwest. It's raining, the temperature has dropped, and it's snowing. The weather is so damp and cold that it hurts in the bones. It's at least twice as cold as the capital!I wondered if Li Yu had never been out of the capital, could he not be able to stand the weather?I heard people say that they eat dry food on the march, and they can't even drink hot water, let alone sleep well!As time went on, I became more and more disturbed. I thought that if I could empathize with him, maybe I would feel better! "

She smiled wretchedly, "But Zhuzhu, it seems useless. As long as there is no news from him for a day, my heart will hang there forever, and the days are like years."

Lu Xinyan's eyes gradually became moist when she heard this. Between Gong Jin and Li Yu, she always thought that Li Yu was paying unilaterally, and Gong Jin was forced to be moved in the end and had to accept Li Yu. In his heart, that affection will not be lighter than Li Yu's affection for her.

She was happy for Gong Jin and also for Li Yu.

Lu Xinyan grabbed Gong Jin's hand, her eyes sparkled, "Fourth Aunt, don't get excited after listening to what I'm going to say next!"

Gong Jin stared at her fixedly, the light in his eyes gradually brightened.

Lu Xinyan couldn't hide her excitement, "Fourth Aunt, Xiao Shizi won! Li Yu not only survived, but also made a great contribution!"

"What? Really?" When the expectation in her heart became true, Gong Jin held her breath, covered her lips with one hand, and couldn't help choking up sobbing, "Zhu...zhu, you...you didn't lie to me, did you?" ?”

"I didn't lie to you, it's true! I won the victory yesterday morning, and I'm probably on my way back to Beijing today." Lu Xinyan said excitedly: "Si Gu, just wait for Li Yu to come back at the end of the month, and your dreams and his dreams will come true." !"

Gong Jin's eyes suddenly turned red, her lips trembled uncontrollably, she grabbed Lu Xinyan's hand, her fingertips turned white with such strength, "Really, are you really going back? I...I want to tell Auntie, Tell... Mrs. Li, I...! Zhuzhu, help me make some beautiful clothes, take me to buy some beautiful jewelry, I... I want to see him beautifully! OK?"

Gong Jin was so incoherent that she didn't know what to do!

Lu Xinyan smiled and said: "Si Gu, I'll help you make beautiful clothes, I'll help you choose beautiful jewelry, and on the day Li Yu comes back, I'll help you dress up beautifully to meet him! But Si Gu, this The news cannot be told to grandma and Mrs. Li for the time being!"

"Why?" Gong Jin was stunned, the overwhelmed joy on his face faded a bit.

"The news I received here was sent by Xiao Shizi privately. The emperor has not received the good news yet, so this matter cannot be spread to the outside world for the time being." Lu Xinyan said: "But I guess today or tomorrow at the latest, this The news will spread to the capital, so Fourth Aunt has to bear with it for a couple of days, so as not to cause complications."

Gong Jin calmed down a little, "I got it! Now that Shizi Xiao and Li Yu have won the battle, no one dares to gossip at this moment, but after a long time, if someone puts forward the fact that today we will live before the emperor knows the victory If you arouse the emperor's suspicion, it will definitely bring them disaster! However, Zhuzhu, why did Prince Xiao send you a letter in private?"

Gong Jin was too excited to think of this before, but now that she thinks about it, she is unavoidably confused.

Lu Xinyan coughed, her eyes rolled quickly, "I have some business dealings with Mr. Xiao...one of his subordinates, and I actually heard this news from his subordinates by accident."

The news was given to her by Qi Fei, and Qi Fei belongs to Xiao Yichen, Lu Xinyan felt that there was nothing wrong with explaining it this way.

Gong Jin's whole mind was on Li Yu's coming back alive, and he didn't think too much after hearing Lu Xinyan's explanation, "I see."

After the two chatted happily for a long time, Yue felt that Feng Shi had almost woken up, so they held hands together and went to Fushouyuan.

Before they arrived, they heard a familiar sharp and elongated voice: "The Empress Dowager has arrived! Please come out to receive the order~"

Empress Dowager Yizhi?What happened?Lu Xinyan and Gong Jin looked at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Hearing the sound, Feng Shi came out of the room quickly, Gong Jin and Lu Xinyan stepped forward, supported her from left to right, and they went to the main hall together.

It was Eunuch Lin who was next to the Empress Dowager who came to announce the edict. He held up the bright yellow edict with both hands.
