pungent peasant girl

Chapter 435 Spying on the Military Situation
There is a street in the capital where roast goose and chicken are sold.

When there was no war before, Meng Qianyan often came here.

Now that there is a war, the business is not good, but she thinks that these merchants selling roast goose are still there.

She came to a shop, and the door of the shop was tightly closed.

knock knock knock.

"Who is it?"

"Shopping."

"Wait a minute!"

There was a sound of moving things inside, and then the back door opened, and the shop owner showed his head.

"Ah, it's Her Royal Highness!"

Since she participated in the defense of the city, she has frequently appeared on the streets wearing armor. Many people in the capital have already recognized her appearance.

She nodded, "Are there any geese now?"

"Goose, there are geese, but there is no roast goose for the time being. If Her Royal Highness needs it, Caomin will roast it immediately."

"It's not a roast goose. In fact, I just want to buy some goose feathers. If you want the hard feathers on the goose wings, can you sell me some?"

"Goose feather?"

The shopkeeper was stunned, "Are you sure it's a goose feather?"

"determine."

"Okay, wait a moment, Your Highness the Princess."

Although the shop owner was confused and didn't know what Meng Qianyan was doing, he still did as he wanted.

There was the startled hooting of geese in the back yard.

Not long after, the shopkeeper came back, holding seven or eight long goose feathers in his hand, "Is this the princess?"

"Yes, thank you store." Meng Qianyan nodded and took out a tael of silver.

"No, princess, there is no need for that."

"Take it!" Meng Qianyan firmly stuffed the silver into the shopkeeper's hand, then turned and left.

The shopkeeper stroked the back of his head and closed the door with a bewildered expression.

Meng Qianyan found the goose feather and went back to the son-in-law's mansion.

Dong'er watched her come back, and hurriedly asked, "Young Madam, where have you been? I was so anxious just now."

"It's okay, I'm just shopping for something. By the way, Dong'er, come in and do something for me."

"okay."

After entering the door, Meng Qianyan took out Luo Ziyan's daily inkstone, "Dong'er, help me grind the ink."

"Young lady, do you want to write a letter?"

"You just grind it first."

Dong'er was obedient and grinded up.

Meng Qianyan took out the feathers he bought, trimmed them with scissors, and cleaned them.

After cleaning the goose feathers, she put them aside to dry.

He went to find some sand, heated the sand with a big fire, and inserted the lower end of the feather into the sand.

Dong'er finished grinding the ink, came over to see Meng Qianyan's actions, and was taken aback for a while.

She really couldn't figure out what Meng Qianyan was doing.

Meng Qianyan heat-treated the goose feathers, and found needles, threads and scissors for sewing clothes, and processed the goose feathers one step at a time.

Dong'er had never seen those tricks before, and just stared blankly at Meng Qianyan's operations.

Seeing Meng Qianyan pour the ink into the goose quill, she suddenly understood something.

"Young Madam, this, is it possible to draw?"

Meng Qianyan smiled, "Yes, you can draw and write."

"It's amazing, young lady, this is quite beautiful."

"Right, go find some paper and use it to read."

Dong'er found a stack of papers, and holding the quill pen in his hand, he drew down strokes, showing a very surprised expression, "Young Madam, this is amazing, how do you do it, the ink won't flow in the pen tube?" come out."

"I want to know. I'll tell you the reason when I have time later. But now, I have to write a letter first."

"Okay, I will wait for you when you have time."

Dong'er was full of curiosity about the quill pen, playing with it happily.

When she heard a voice behind her, she got up and looked, only to see that Meng Qianyan was actually wearing a pink satin cloak.

She was stunned, "Young Madam, are you going out?"

"Dong'er, come here, let me tell you something."

Luo Ziyan went to the palace and informed the prince and emperor about the accident that Meng Qianyan and others had encountered.

The prince and the emperor were also very shocked. No one thought that such a mistake would happen at such a critical moment.

Luo Ziyan also told them the solution he had ordered.

After discussing with the emperor, the crown prince found that only Luo Ziyan's method was feasible for the time being.

Although it was desperate, this might be the only way right now.

Neither the crown prince nor the emperor blamed anyone, they only asked Luo Ziyan to act cautiously this time.

And the emperor personally sent people to investigate who is Mo Yun's person in this court.

When Luo Ziyan returned to the son-in-law's mansion, the sky was already bright, and the sun was rising high, bringing warmth to this harsh winter.

He walked quickly through the Moon Gate.

Dong'er stood outside the door with a blank and timid expression.

"How is Qianyan? Are you awake?"

Dong'er frowned, clutching a paper-colored envelope in her hand.

Luo Ziyan's heart sank, and he quickly took the things in her hand.

It was a letter with nothing written on the envelope.

He quickly tore open the envelope, and a few delicate feathers fell out. He opened the letter and read it anxiously.

After a while, his hand trembled slightly, and the letter was held in his palm.

He looked at Dong'er, "When did Qian Yan go out?"

"Young lady, the young lady has been out for more than an hour." Dong'er sobbed, "Master, did the young lady go somewhere? Did she do something dangerous? What should I do, young master, do you want to let me go?" Qin Wu chased the young lady back. The young lady said that the slaves are not allowed to wander around, but only ask the slaves to wait for the young master here, and the slaves dare not disobey her."

Luo Ziyan stood there.

The winter wind blew through his hair.

There was a faint panic in his eyes.

Dong'er was crying.

Luo Ziyan was silent for a while, then he raised his eyelids, and said softly: "No need, no one can stop her from what Qianyan wants to do."

"Master, what's the matter with Young Madam?"

"You don't have to ask, you go down first, I want to be quiet."

Luo Ziyan pushed open the door and walked in.

It was so bright, the sun shone through the window on the rosewood table and chairs, and the ink stains on the inkstone were almost dry.

He sat down and reopened the crumpled letter.

"Ziyan, husband. When you read this letter, I will already be out of town. I won't lie to you. I'm going to Brother Seventeen's military camp. I don't just want to make up for our mistakes, because I also know that if Mo Yun continues to attack, we may really fall, what can you do, prepare enough food and grass to wait for the reinforcements from Yunnan Gui? So I'm going there, I'm going to convince Brother Seventeen to let him come back, maybe I can persuade If you don’t have him, then I will find a way to tell you about the military situation over there. Even if I can’t do it, it’s good to delay the time. I made the quill pen, isn’t it pretty? I left a few for you. You Pay attention, if I want to tell you something, I will put Kongming lanterns outside the city. Finally, don't worry about me, I will be fine, come back soon."

Signed: I have always missed you with a thousand words.
