I wish for a long time

Not long after Ye Jiu entered the palace, Xue Yuning came to the Hou Mansion.

While pouring tea, Qi Shaoan sighed, "Every time you come, Ajiu is either asleep or absent. What are you and her called? Let me think about it..."

Xue Yuning tilted his head to look at her.

"I remembered, it's called jet lag!"

Xue Yuning was confused, "Jet difference?"

Qi Shaoan nodded seriously, "Yes, Ajiu said, if she doesn't sleep when you sleep, and doesn't wake up when you wake up, it's called jet lag."

Xue Yuning: ...What a great reason.

Qi Shaoan sipped his tea, and suddenly sighed softly, "It seems that Yu Ning is highly valued by Chu Taiwei, and he is too busy to come to the Hou's mansion these days."

Xue Yuning smiled wryly: "Where is Shao'an, it's because the war in the north is intense these days, and the family is busy with preparations, so they can't get away."

"Then Yu Ning came this time for this war?"

Xue Yuning nodded, "This time the Thar invasion is different from the past. Boss Ye has always thought about it and wants to ask her for advice."

Qi Shaoan estimated the time, "It took a long time to go this time, but it's time to come back."

Xue Yuning glanced at her, and said with a smile: "Shao'an is not as free and easy as Yuncheng. After all, he is married, and he is different from us."

Qi Shaoan withdrew his gaze, with a trace of blush on his face, "What's the difference?"

Xue Yuning's long and narrow eyes contained a smile, and whispered, "I'm out of my mind, looking forward to see through."

Qi Shaoan blushed when he heard the words, and his eyes moved around.She straightened her back, "I...how can I, I just looked at it casually."

Xue Yuning nodded clearly: "Yes, yes, it's not the courtyard gate behind me that you are looking at, but me."

Xue Yuning even exaggeratedly compared the distance between himself and the door, Qi Shaoan was so angry that he slapped her across the table with a handkerchief:

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but you have learned to play strange tunes."

Xue Yuning slightly raised his cup with his thin lips in a smile, "It's not as good as Shao'an's complexion is rosy, I think Boss Ye will take care of him well."

Qi Shaoan lowered his head subconsciously, only to realize that he couldn't see his own face.Just as she was about to sigh, a certain raised part came into her eyes——

After three seconds of silence on the table, Xue Yuning covered his stomach and laughed.

"Hahahaha Shaoan, why do you think so far away?"

Qi Shaoan came to his senses, his head buzzed, and he covered his face with his hands, "No, I didn't..."

At this moment, Wei Yu and Lian Qing came over with trays, looked at them with a shy smile, a bit puzzled.

Wei Yu only felt that Qi Shao'an hadn't been so relaxed in front of people for a long time, she was really happy in her heart, she put the tray on the table, and said while taking the cakes:

"Mr. Xue, if you don't come to the Hou's mansion often, the lady will feel bored in the mansion by herself. You and the lady are familiar, so it's good to talk."

Qi Shaoan glared at her: "Who's bored, I'm busy!"

Xue Yuning laughed until tears came out, she pressed the corners of her mouth, and raised her chin towards Qi Shaoan, "Miss Wei Yu, it's not because I'm not coming, it's because your lady doesn't want to see me."

Wei Yu laughed and shook her head, "Miss is always stubborn, Mr. Xue is not ignorant. Hearing Mr. Xue came to the house today, Miss doesn't even read the book, so I can't catch up with you."

Qi Shaoan never thought that Wei Yu would tear down his platform, so his eyes were straightened, "Wei Yu!!"

"Hahahahaha."

Xue Yuning rested his head on his hands, his body trembling uncontrollably from laughing.

Lian Qing came forward with tea soup, "Young master, this is the freshly made jasmine sweet water dew. It is the recipe brought back by the young master. Young master, try it."

Xue Yuning straightened up, nodded slightly, "Thank you."

Lianqing was a little panicked, said what a servant should do, and hurriedly brought a soup bowl to Qi Shaoan.

Qi Shaoan pursed her lips tightly, she felt that everything she said today was wrong, so she should not say anything at all.

However, when people get unlucky, no one can stop them.

The next second, Qi Shaoan looked down at the celadon bowl that suddenly appeared on her skirt, and fell silent.

"Lianqing! Hurry up and clean up!"

Wei Yu snorted, this girl doesn't know what's going on today, she can't even hold a bowl.

Lian Qing was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, "I know I was wrong, it was because I was careless..."

Qi Shao'an picked up the bowl with two fingers, put it on the table, and stretched out his hand to pull Lian Qing up, "Your young master has a saying that makes sense. When you recite it, you will get stuffed between your teeth when you drink cold water. Lian Qing doesn't blame you." .”

Lian Qing timidly stood aside, Wei Yu patted her on the shoulder, and said softly: "Miss is kind-hearted, I won't blame you, you should be more careful next time."

Lianqing repeatedly said yes.

Xue Yuning looked at her hanging a dress of soup petals, and the lake blue long dress turned into navy blue, so she kindly asked, "Shao...do you want to change your clothes, little lady?"

Feeling the sticky feeling of sweet water passing through her dress, Qi Shao'an smiled slightly, "It's okay, in case I spill the teacup again, I have to change it again, let's save it first."

"...This can still be saved hahaha."

Xue Yuning covered his cheeks, his face was stiff with laughter.

Qi Shao'an looked coldly at Xue Yuning pinching his cheeks with both hands, at this moment, a chuckle suddenly came from the door:

"What is so happy about it?"

Qi Shao'an raised his head upon hearing the sound, and saw a sapphire blue figure crossing the gap in the bamboo forest and appearing in front of everyone.

Look at that familiar cheek, it's not who Ye Jiu is.

Qi Shao'an's icy eyes were instantly submerged by the corners of her raised eyebrows, she stood up, her red lips couldn't help but smile.

Ye Jiu knew Xue Yuning was coming, but he still stepped forward without hesitation, ready to give Qi Shaoan a hug.It's just that she just opened her arms when she suddenly caught a glimpse of the magnificent "grand plan" on Qi Shao'an's body.

"Hey, don't you have enough rice paper at home?"

Qi Shao'an listened to her jokes, the corners of her mouth that were upturned in joy just now drooped instantly, and she looked at Ye Jiu with grievance.

Ye Jiu hurriedly hugged her and stroked her back, "Hey, who is bullying you? I must beat him up."

Qi Shaoan buried her head on Ye Jiu's neck and shoulders, pointed at Xue Yuning, "Her."

Xue Yuning was frightened, raised his head and looked at Qi Shao'an in a daze: "???"

"I deliberately didn't see you young couple making out, how could it hurt me, a pond fish??"

Qi Shao'an felt that the heat that had finally subsided just now was steaming up again, she pushed Ye Jiu away, and said angrily, "I'm going to change clothes!"

Ye Jiu staggered, looked at Qi Shaoan's back without stopping his feet, and then at Xue Yuning who was holding back his smile, and suddenly he had a black question mark face.

"Okay, now you have another fish in your pond."

Ye Jiu shrugged his shoulders, sat where Qi Shaoan was just now, saw that there was still some tea left in the cup, and raised his head to drink it up.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?"

Xue Yuning raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I can't find you if I have nothing to do?"

Ye Jiu snorted: "It's okay, you won't wait so long."

Xue Yuning was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Boss Ye is really smart."

She paused, and said seriously: "I really have something to do with you today. The family received a message from the north that the Thar tribe has broken through five cities in a row, and half of Mianzhou has been annexed by it."

Ye Jiu was taken aback, "Break five cities in a row??"

It was just said two days ago that Shuique City fell, why did five cities fall in these two days?

Moreover, she had just come out of the palace, and Chu Shishen was not worried about this matter, which meant that the court had not received the news.

She squinted her eyes: "Why did your Chu family get news so quickly?"

Xue Yuning explained: "This time Chu Peng, the third son of the Chu family, was also in the army. He sent a letter when he saw something was wrong. Moreover, the Chu family has its own pigeon breeding station, which is a little faster than Kuaima. But I think the Holy Majesty will also be here today." It's time to get the military report."

Ye Jiu glanced at her: "You guys received it last night, right?"

Xue Yuning nodded, "Exactly, yesterday evening."

Ye Jiu stopped worrying about the time issue, and frowned and thought for a moment: "The rescue army should still be on the way now, the border troops are insufficient, and the household department is busy with disaster relief in the south...what does the military department say?"

Xue Yuning showed a look of embarrassment: "The Minister of the Ministry of War said that in the past two years, in order to prevent the southern border from infringing the border, a large number of troops have been stationed in the southern border. Except for the Akabane army left in Beijing, what is left is the [-] eagles that General Fuyong took away this time. Tiger Camp."

Ye Jiu frowned: "The tribes in southern Xinjiang always wait for the opportunity to harass the border, and the army over there cannot move."

She thought for a while, and then said: "Is it possible that the state soldiers near Mianzhou will be deployed now?"

Xue Yuning drew a simple diagram with his fingers, pointed to two of them and said, "Only Liangzhou and Taizhou can be deployed, and the next is Jingzhou where we are. There is no other place to adjust."

"Furthermore, grain and grass can last up to one month at most. Now the harvest in the south is affected, and I am afraid that the supply is insufficient."

Ye Jiu tapped his fingers on the table, frowning, "Equestrian people like the Tal are highly mobile and their combat power is several times stronger than that of the Central Plains. Even if we recruit soldiers now, we can only die in vain."

Xue Yuning replied: "That's right, Mr. Chu has also considered this point, and now he is a little helpless."

Ye Jiu stared at the tea stains on the table, and continued: "As for food and grass, the harvest in the south is almost complete, and it is too late to replant. Even if short-term crops such as sweet potatoes are planted, the harvest will have to wait until September and October. It is true now The only way to turn around is to raise money again."

Thinking of this, Ye Jiu scratched his hair subconsciously, "I'm afraid that I'm going to screw them up like a bunch of iron cocks."

Xue Yuning lowered his head slightly, only feeling that this matter was really tricky.

"If the third son and the others had gone to the border town, the situation might be better."

Seeing Ye Jiu's suspicious expression, Xue Yuning said, "Third Young Master is good at military art. Although the Tal general is also good at military art this time, he is not as thorough as the Central Plains people after all. I think he can last for a while."

Ye Jiu thought for a while, then suddenly asked: "Did you recommend these three young masters?"

Xue Yuning chuckled softly, "The third young master is the concubine of the Chu family. He has excellent knowledge but has nothing to do. This time the third young master took the initiative to invite you. I just said a few words."

Ye Jiu raised his eyebrows and nodded slowly: "The eldest son and the second son of the Chu family both have military merits, but this time, the third son will go for nothing."

Xue Yuning was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and thought about it carefully, "Maybe it is for the third son to make contributions."

Ye Jiu didn't say any more after hearing the words, and began to think about the solution, "It seems that our situation this time is not optimistic."

Xue Yuning nodded helplessly, "It is estimated that there will be a lot of quarrels in the hall tomorrow."

Ye Jiu let out a snort of disdain, "Those old guys only think about how to end the war quickly, how to keep their black hats, and it's best not to fight at all, so they don't worry about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Jiu was stunned.

A solution without fighting...

She suddenly felt bad.

Xue Yuning was also stunned, her eyes trembled, and she turned to look at Ye Jiu.The two looked at each other, and said in surprise in unison:

"And kiss!"

The author has something to say: Qi Shaoan: Today is another happy day. (Smile)

Ah ah ah ah I finally have someone from the Eighth and Ninth Cult, I am so relieved...
