Wind and Rain Empire

Chapter 76 Dowry

back to the barracks

Lan Xueyi saw a table of letters neatly placed on the table, and a large pile of gift boxes on the ground, which she never expected, so she said to herself

"Wow, what's going on here?"

Lan Xueyi opened an envelope with the word "Confidential" printed on it, and after unfolding it, he found a map and a letter from the emperor

"Xueyi, this is the treasure map drawn by the golden man you gave me last time. I asked a few ministers to draw the picture in more detail. If our analysis is correct, there is a treasure map hidden here. The treasure of the dynasty, but we don't know what it is. It's a pity that the Jin people also know this place. Maybe they have sent spies to find the treasure. I hope you can go here to investigate. Of course, it depends on whether you go or not. yourself."

Lan Xueyi stuffed the treasure map and the letter back into the envelope, and opened the second one. After reading it for a while, her face became increasingly ugly

At this time Xiaosi stood outside the tent and shouted

"General Lan, General Xie is back"

Lan Xueyi also yelled out of the tent

"Exactly, Xiaosi, you call him in, I'll ask him something"

Outside the tent, Xiao Si rushed to Xie Guanxiong and said

"Thank you, General, General Lan has something to do with you."

"Oh! Great, I see, let's come!"

Lan Xueyi opened and read five letters in a row, and was so angry that he threw them all on the ground. Xie Guanxiong walked into the tent not long after, saw the letters scattered all over the place, and asked Lan Xueyi

"Hey, what's going on here? Who threw it because of you? Are you so angry?"

Lan Xueyi pointed to the letter on the ground angrily.

"Who the hell are these people? They're all here to propose marriage!"

Xie Guanxiong had a surprised expression

"What? Marriage proposal? Who will propose it to whom?"

Lan Xueyi pointed at herself

"They're all here to propose marriage to me! (pointing to the gift box) Those broken boxes are full of betrothal gifts!"

Xie Guanxiong was taken aback, and hurried forward to look at the contents of the gift box

"Ah? No way? I want to propose marriage to you? A man or a woman?"

Lan Xueyi raised her arms and looked at Xie Guanxiong

"What do you say?"

Xie Guanxiong scratched his head and smiled

"Oh, just kidding, kidding, then only men come to propose marriage!"

He tilts his head to the side, internal monologue

"Someone really asked her to propose marriage..."

Lan Xueyi stepped forward and put it on Xie Guanxiong's shoulders

"Hey, thank you, do you...don't believe that someone came to ask me to propose marriage?"

Xie Guanxiong didn't think about it for a while, and blurted out

"That's right!"

He regained his composure and looked at Lan Xueyi

"Uh... In my eyes, you are a real man who is upright and upright. It's weird for a man to ask you to propose marriage"

Lan Xueyi pushed Xie Guanxiong

"Let's not talk about the awkwardness, what happened during the days I left?"

Xie Guanxiong sighed and sat down on the stool

"Oh, don't mention it. On the first day you left, there was a Wu Yuanwai in the county town who surnamed Wu. He said that after you robbed his daughter's hydrangea, he knew you were a woman, so he sent someone to the camp to give gifts, saying It's his nephew who is at the right age for marriage, so he left the gift box here. We don't know what's going on and we're going to wait for you to come back to deal with it. As a result, there are different people for several days in a row We came to deliver things, we wanted to coax them away, but this group of people did not benefit the brothers, so the harvest is like this, but don't worry, we have not touched these things, if you want to return them, we will give them back all back"

Lan Xueyi points to the gift box

"Then have you seen what's in here?"

Xie Guanxiong shook his head

"I haven't seen it. At that time, our brothers thought it might be a dowry gift, and the dowry gift is nothing more than silk, satin, jewelry and jade."

Lan Xueyi opened the lids of two boxes, one for fabric and the other for jewelry and antiques

Xie Guanxiong spread his hands

"That's it, what other tricks can you give as a betrothal gift?"

Lan Xueyi feels puzzled

"Hey, I didn't agree to them, what kind of bride price should I give? (After thinking about it) No, there are so many unmarried men here, why don't they come to serve in the army?"

Xie Guanxiong sighed

"Oh, the sons of officials and noble families, if they can't endure hardships, they will naturally not come!"

Lan Xueyi sneered

"Hey, how do you know you can't suffer if you haven't suffered?"

Xie Guanxiong suddenly had a flash of inspiration

"Why don't you go meet them and tell them to join the army?"

Lan Xueyi thought for a while, then shook his head

"What? I see them? Isn't that a blind date? How can it work?"

Xie Guanxiong waved his hand

"You've never been on a blind date, so what does it matter if you meet each other? Besides, they're all ordinary men, what can they do to you?"

Lan Xueyi broke her wrist

"Hey, I said Lao Xie, you don't think about it. If there are women in our military camp and they are married, it doesn't sound good to say it?"

Xie Guanxiong glanced at Lan Xueyi

"Do you care? Anyway, the brothers in the camp don't care, they are all married. You are the only one who is not married, and you have been gossiping."

Lan Xueyi is in trouble

"Although I'm not afraid of what others will say, I don't really want to go, so what do you think I should do?"

Xie Guanxiong draped the shoulders of the blue snow suit

"I said, this person will always do things that he doesn't really want to do in his life, so shouldn't it be regarded as accumulating life experiences?"

Xiaosi walks into the camp, hands over

"General, forgive me for talking too much, I think you might as well go and have a look, and just take a long vacation for the months of hard work."

Lan Xueyi thought about it

"Okay, since you all think it's nothing, I might as well go see them. Xiao Si, put away the letter and register your name, and go to inform each of them in the afternoon, and inform them that they will have an interview on the top floor of the Guilai Inn in the market at Sishi tomorrow... oh yes , asked Jixiang to return the dowry gift by the way, and the interview hasn’t passed yet, how about giving the dowry gift?”

small four hands

"Yes, General, I'm going to inform Jixiang right away"

On the training ground, when the soldiers were training, Liang Chaoying, the prefect of Xingyuan Prefecture, came on horseback, followed by two entourages on foot

entourage yelled

"The imperial decree has arrived! Generals Lan Xueyi and Zhang Tianyu lead the decree!"

Liang Chaoying dismounted, the soldiers rested

Zhang Tianyu, Lan Xueyi, and Xie Guanxiong walked out of the camp, and Lan and Zhang knelt on one knee to accept the order

Liang Chaoying proclaimed the decree

"Fortunately, the emperor said: Lan Xueyi and General Zhang Tianyu escorted the Xixia King back to the assassination and fought with each other with their lives, eradicated traitors to set the record straight, and now the two countries have repaired, the two generals have contributed a lot, and the special reward is 100 taels."

Zhang Tianyu got up and took the reward from Liang Chaoying

Lan Xueyi receives the order

"The minister accepts the order, thank the emperor for the reward!"

Liang Chaoying stroked his beard

"General Lan, you have made many meritorious deeds. The imperial decree is issued one by one. I have made many trips."

Lan Xueyi cups his hands towards the distance

"The officials value it, and I am just lucky enough to be right. To be honest, if I really want to reward it, it should be the brothers around me."

Leung Chiu-ying bows his hands

"The general is high-spirited and bright, and he understands the righteousness. It is really a model for my ministers. Seeing the character of the general, I am really ashamed."

Lan Xueyi shakes hands

"I don't dare to take it seriously. In fact, as far as I know, many of my colleagues in the DPRK are upright and law-abiding. Compared with them, I am no different from them. There is nothing particularly commendable."

Xiao Si stepped forward and cupped his hands

"General, this subordinate and Jixiang are going out to do what you ordered first."

Lan Xueyi nodded

"Understood, you go first"

Liang Chaoying saw the soldiers around him coming and going

"The general is busy with important tasks in the army, so I won't delay you, so I will take my leave."

Zhang Tianyu brought gold to Lan Xueyi and asked

"Then how to deal with this bounty?"

Lan Xueyi casually took out two ingots of gold and stuffed them to Liang Chaoying. When Liang Chaoying saw it, her face changed drastically, and she hurriedly shied away.

"General, this is absolutely unacceptable."

"Every time a decree comes down, my lord has to work hard to pass the order. This is just some money for tea, and I will inevitably trouble you in the future. If you don't want to accept it yourself, you can reward your servants."

Leung Chiu-ying pushes away with both hands

"General Lan, you are too polite, but I really can't accept it"

Lan Xueyi put down the gold and handed over to Liang Chaoying

"Your Excellency is really honest and upright, the last general admires him"

Liang Chaoying and his party hurried on the horse

Zhang Tianyu looked at Liang Chaoying's back and faced Lan Xueyi

"The reason why the disaster caused by Xia Guo and his party can be solved is mainly due to you, General Lan, so I won't be ashamed to share it."

"Hey, why do you say that, Brother Zhang, you bought something for Princess Siqin last time?"

Zhang Tianyu raised his eyebrows and said

"Didn't you say it wasn't reimbursed?"

Lan Xueyi smiles

"How could it be? Didn't I just joke with you? The two of us have to distinguish between public and private."

Zhang Tianyu waved his hand

"I'm willing to buy things for Siqin, so let's forget about the reimbursement."

Lan Xueyi points to gold

"You don't even want what was given to you? (Pause) You really don't want it?"

Zhang Tianyu folded his arms and sighed

"Siqin is not here, and I have nowhere to spend the money if I ask for it."

Lan Xueyi smiled lightly

"Since you really don't want it anymore, I'll share it with the brothers. During my absence, you will take them to train and work hard, and let them take a two-day vacation in batches to take a good rest."

"Okay, you can do whatever you want"

Lan Xueyi took out an ingot of gold and gave it to Xie Guanxiong who was standing aside

Xie Guanxiong looked at the shining gold in front of him

"General Lan, what are you doing? General Zhang has confiscated all his merits!"

"Thanks to General Xie for leading the army during my absence, which means it should be."

Xie Guanxiong smiled foolishly

"You see, you are being polite to me, don't I also work with the state salary?"

Lan Xueyi forced the gold into Xie Guanxiong's hands

"So, this is my personal thank you, you have to accept it"

Xie Guanxiong tried his best to push back

"Here, how can I use up so many ingots by myself? Let's share them with the brothers."

Lan Xueyi points to gold

"This is what I thank you for. If you don't accept it, you won't treat me as a brother."

Xie Guanxiong smiled and pointed at Lan Xueyi

"Hey, since you said that, thank you."

"If you have enough for yourself, think about sending some back home."

Xie Guanxiong was stunned for a moment, and finally reacted

"Okay, in two days you'll be done, I'll buy you a drink!"

Lan Xueyi smiles

"You can have this, then it's a deal!"

In the Ziyun Pavilion at night, Imperial Physician Zhang was diagnosing Zi Linglong's pulse through the curtain, and Zi Linglong was staring at Imperial Physician Zhang through the gauze.

"Physician Zhang, my lower abdomen has been feeling tight these days, and I can't diagnose the pulse myself. I'm sorry for your trouble."

Doctor Zhang was examining, his expression became more and more solemn, and he looked at Zi Linglong

"This……"

Zi Linglong's calm tone

"Prince doctor, if you have something to say, you may as well speak up."

"Forgive me for speaking bluntly, ma'am, you are suffering from a cold palace and need to be recuperated. Try to eat warming and nourishing food, and..."

Zi Linglong looked at Imperial Physician Zhang with a puzzled expression

"Anything else? What's the problem?"

Physician Zhang knelt down with a plop, and said in a nervous voice

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid your body is... I'm afraid you won't be able to conceive any offspring"

Zi Linglong seemed to have expected it, so she frowned slightly

"Physician Zhang, based on your judgment, what caused it?"

Dr. Zhang's eyeballs were rolling, and he organized the language nervously.

"It probably has something to do with my childhood experience..."

Zi Linglong opened the curtain and looked at Doctor Zhang with a smile.

Doctor Zhang was made more nervous by Zi Linglong's smile, thinking

"If the old man tells the story of her miscarriage before entering the palace, will the old man still come out of here alive?"

"Doctor Zhang, what are you talking about?"

Doctor Zhang closed his old eyes and went all out

"...Uh, cold, it's caused by cold"

Zi Linglong's smile became brighter and brighter

"Doctor Zhang, you are really accurate"

She put down an ingot of gold in front of Dr. Zhang. Dr. Zhang stared at the gold for a while, then raised his head.

Zi Linglong turned around, with a threatening tone

"There are many ways to make a person silent, do you think so, Doctor Zhang?"

Doctor Zhang took away the gold

"Yes, yes, what is your mother saying?"

Zi Linglong's soft voice

"I'm exhausted, Doctor Zhang, please step back first."

"Yes……"

The emperor was entering the room, Doctor Zhang saluted him and then stepped back

The emperor was taken aback when he saw Imperial Physician Zhang, walked towards Zi Linglong, and asked

"Why is Doctor Zhang here? What's wrong with you, Linglong?"

Zi Linglong turned her head

"Don't worry, officials, Linglong is fine, it's just a stomachache when menstruation comes."

"It's menstruation again? What did Doctor Zhang say just now?"

"It's nothing serious. Doctor Zhang said that the concubine's palace is cold, and he just suggested a good health care."

The emperor touched Zi Linglong's shoulder

"I also feel that you are a little thin, and you need to be more plump."

Zi Linglong smiled and acted like a baby

"Officials, you are really serious. If the concubines are well-fed, the officials will definitely think that the concubines are fat again."

"How could it be? I love you the most, beauty, and I will never dislike you. By the way, I heard from Yongping that your Hong Wan made a building block, but if I don't give it to her, I don't understand."

Zi Linglong sat down at the table beside her

"What do you not understand? Officials, they have worked so hard for so long, how could they just give it up to the princess? It is inevitable that they are reluctant."

The emperor looked around

"What about Hong Wan? I'll go find her and talk to her."

"Guanjia, you don't need to look for her, I tell her to come out (calling into the room) Hong Wan, come out for a while"

Hong Wan responded

"Hey, here we come!"

Zi Linglong to the Emperor

"This girl has been dawdling recently, I'll go and see her"

After saying that, I lifted the curtain and entered the bedroom
