Mrs. Ming, who was losing her temper, didn't notice the gloomy expression on Ming Jinruo's face, as if she was killing a female ghost. She hugged her daughter and gritted her teeth and said: "Which family would marry such a rude woman, pity us Jinruo... He was born a few years late, and the marriage was delayed by that damned bastard."

She caressed her daughter's beautiful face affectionately and said: "We Jinruo is so beautiful, if it weren't for that damned bastard, it would be fine to be Mrs. Hou."

"Mother—" Ming Jinruo said in a long voice, acting like a shy little daughter, coquettishly at Mrs. Ming.

After finally coaxing Mrs. Ming well, Ming Jinruo waved her maid back and fell on the bed with a distorted expression.

'Ming Yuruo became an official!The wool she raised was actually sought after by those big shots in the capital, are those big shots blind?No, it must be aimed at King An, Ming Yuruo is just a tool, as long as it is a tool, it will be replaced sooner or later. '

Ming Jinruo kept comforting herself and finally fell asleep. The next morning, she was in a slightly better mood and was about to go to the banquet of her little sisters when she heard a piece of good news that seemed like bad news to her.

"Jinruo, look at Daddy's cashmere sweater. Your sister sent it back. It is said that she begged King An to give Daddy this quota." Ming County Magistrate showed Ming Jin in the flower hall, wearing a cashmere sweater. If you look at it, the snow-white cashmere sweater is extremely dazzling in Ming Jinruo's eyes.

Ming Jinruo stiffly praised Ming County Magistrate, and praised the cashmere sweater over and over again, only then did Ming County Magistrate, who had satisfied his desire to show off, go to the yamen.

Ming Jinruo, who stood in place like a stone statue, distorted her beautiful face as if she was not human. She didn't care about the little maid who was frightened by her, and she only had one thought in her mind.

'How can it be! '

-------------------------------------

"Ah!" Ming Yuruo sneezed, the bitter cold wind at the border made her rub her flushed cheeks involuntarily.

She was standing in front of the carriage and saying goodbye to Mrs. Yang, explaining in detail about the sheep farm.

If Ming County Magistrate were here, he would be surprised to find that the so-called Ming Yuruo himself was reluctant to wear the cashmere sweater specially sent to his father, which looked like ordinary clothes to these two.

"Ming servants, don't worry, go back to Beijing, I'll watch over the sheep farm!" Mrs. Yang tightened the cloak around her body, stepped forward and held Ming Yuruo's hand and said.Although her cheeks were still icy from the cold wind, Madam Yang's hands were still warm with a cloak covering her body and a cashmere sweater.

"With Sister Yang watching, I don't have any worries." Ming Yuruo said with a smile.

However, when the carriage officially moved, Ming Yuruo felt a little reluctance in her heart.

I don't know how the combination of Yunyang and Yeyang is going. Most of the rams that the prince is going to kill will be brought to the capital. This year, the Xiongnu sheepfold will be enough for the consumption of the restaurant in Border City. The last batch will be taken before winter. Shearing Xiongnu sheep, I hope they can survive this winter. If I had known that winter had come so early this year, she would not have let Wang An shear those wool...

Ming Yuruo, who was immersed in her own thoughts, did not realize that her thinking was getting closer and closer to that of King An.

King An, who didn't know that he had assimilated his subordinates, finally arrived in the capital after more than half a month's journey.

As for the aristocrats in the capital, their first reaction was that their cashmere sweaters had finally arrived.

Aware of what they were thinking, the aristocrats looked at each other in embarrassment, returned to normal thinking, and began to talk about King An's return to Beijing this time.

"King An has only been out of Beijing for a year, and the Holy Majesty is so impatient to call King An back to Beijing, I'm afraid it's not..." The person who said this was the son of an old official, who claimed to be noble and clean, and never associated with honorable families, but from now on he Judging from the expression on his face, there is no trace of nobleness.

"The Holy Majesty is probably starting to be on guard against King An. That's right. King An intervened in the issue of the return of veterans after one year at the border. Isn't this a blatant way to win people's hearts?" Someone echoed, and the people around him also nodded in agreement.

The party held in Lanshanfang was attended by the young masters of the old ministers' families with the same interests. After drinking for thirty years, they waved off the dancers, closed the door and began to criticize King An's ignorance.

"A woman's appointment as an official is simply ridiculous! And that woman didn't write any good articles that will last forever, and she didn't write any poems that shocked the world and weeping ghosts and gods. Talking about rewards for meritorious deeds, her merit is actually raising sheep?! "The son-in-law of the vice president of the Imperial Academy looked aggrieved.

"When will the filthy thing like raising sheep be able to be rewarded for meritorious service? According to Xiaosheng, this woman may not have that kind of relationship with King An." The second son of the censor who drank the most was drunk Said.

The young master next to him also agreed. From their point of view, this woman can't write poems, fuss, or even articles. Such a vulgar person in their eyes, because of the so-called raising They were conferred official positions by the Holy Majesty because of sheep, which is simply challenging their cognition.

They all agreed that the Holy One must have been deceived by King An to make such a wrong decision. They wanted the Holy One to recognize King An's lies and realize that only they, the pure celebrities, were always thinking about the Holy One.

And the blinded sage was anxiously going around in circles in the study, waiting for his safe arrival.

The emperor's name is Hongde, and Emperor Hongde looked at the door of the study room from time to time, and kept muttering: "I don't know if Ping'an has lost weight this year at the border. Why did I agree to it when it was bitterly cold at the border?" Pass safely." The chief eunuch at the side accompanied Emperor Hongde, echoing the emperor from time to time.

The smile on the face of the chief eunuch froze. He couldn't understand how his royal family could see that Wang An must have passed the border inspection badly. Not to mention the cashmere sweater, just looking at the pile of mutton that Prince An sent back last year is not enough. It's impossible to think that An Wang passed the border badly.

Speaking of this, the chief eunuch couldn't help feeling that Wang An was worthy of being the brother of the Holy One, and his habit of sending things was the same as that of the Holy Majesty, sending things in boxes.

Fortunately, the mutton is warm in nature. In the winter of that year, the faces of the masters of the entire palace were filled with red from the pile of mutton, and the concubines in the harem sent good news one after another.

The chief eunuch was thinking about it, and along with the announcement in front of the Shang study, An Wang appeared at the door of the upper study.

Emperor Hongde strode up, held Wang An's shoulder up and down, looked up and down his younger brother, and then said with tears in his eyes: "You're thin, safe, you're suffering."

This is the first time for Chu An to see his imperial brother in real life. At first, he was still feeling that he was a fierce man who suppressed the entire court at a young age. He was really handsome and majestic, but the next second his imperial brother had tears The appearance immediately made Chu An shatter the previous impression.

After Chu An managed to convince Emperor Hongde that he did not suffer at the border, several people sat down in the upper study room, and the chief eunuch led all the palace servants out after serving them tea.

When Chu An was wondering what was going on, Commander Xue who came with Chu An got up and knelt down on one knee, took out a piece of parchment from his chest, and handed it to Emperor Hongde.

Emperor Hongde took the parchment with a serious expression and said: "This is the map you said in the news that Ping An asked you to go to the Huns to draw?"

Wait, when did he ask Commander Xue to go to the Huns to draw the map?Chu An stared blankly at the emperor brother who had opened the map in front of him.

But now is not the time to talk about this, Chu An looked at the two who were already ready to talk about how to deal with the Huns, subconsciously prepared to resign and go to find his mother and concubine.

However, he was pushed down on the seat by Emperor Hongde, and he said with a face full of hatred: "Ping An, you are too cautious, I am your imperial brother, I am your elder brother, how can I not believe it?" You?"

Chu An had no choice but to sit in his seat, watching Emperor Hongde and Commander Xue pointing at the map and talking about military defense deployment from time to time.

"...The king of Xiongnu is harassing the border more and more frequently. It seems that the newly appointed Chanyu can't wait to make a career." Emperor Hongde said sarcastically, looking at the map.

Commander Xue also said: "According to this situation, next year or the next year there will be a war at the border."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongde's face sank. If it was not necessary, they really didn't want to conflict with the Huns. After all, the Huns fought on horseback and lived in tents. They were extremely mobile, and they didn't know where to run if they made a mistake. I went there, but I couldn't find it, and it was difficult to send cavalry out to fight those Huns who grew up on horseback.

"The cavalry of the Huns has to be guarded," said Emperor Hongde, tapping his fingers on the table and squinting his eyes. "If their horses decrease, our chances of winning this battle will increase."

But how can the Huns, who regard horses as their lives, reduce the number of horses?Just as Emperor Hongde and Commander Xue were contemplating, Chu An suddenly spoke.

"Next year the Huns will reduce the number of horses."

Emperor Hongde and Commander Xue were startled, and looked at King An who was in deep thought.

Chu An was looking at the map, and the sphere of influence of the Huns that was highlighted was exactly where the Huns merchants with whom he traded were located.

"I have a deal with a businessman in the Hun King's forces. Next year, he will raise a large number of sheep with other tribes to provide wool for the border. And sheep are a kind of livestock that can not only eat leaves but also dig grass roots," King An pointed The grassland marked on the map said, "Although the grassland in the sphere of influence here is large, it will definitely not last a season under the gnawing of a large number of sheep. At this time, they will not reduce the number of sheep, but will reduce the number of horses."

Emperor Hongde was a little shocked when he heard Chu An's words, but he immediately began to catch the loopholes in Chu An's words: "How can you guarantee that the herdsmen will reduce the number of horses for the sheep?"

Chu An calmly reported the price of wool purchased at the border customs, which was almost worth one-third of a sheep's money, and the wool was produced throughout the year.

The greedy King of the Huns would never refuse such an attractive price. Based on Emperor Hongde’s understanding of the King of the Huns, if horses were not the most important tool in the life of herdsmen, the King of the Huns would definitely replace all the horses with sheep for breeding .

Emperor Hongde looked at Ping'an with a very strange look, how could he never know that Ping'an had such a great talent.

On the other hand, Commander Xue was drinking tea calmly. He had known for a long time that Prince An was definitely not a simple person.

Chu An looked at the pasture on the map and said with emotion, if it wasn't for the Daughter of Destiny who raised Ye Yang, he would probably have the same worries as the Huns now.

At this time, the Daughter of Destiny was standing at the door of Ming's house, Ming Yuruo looked at the familiar door in front of her, and said with a smile to the surprised concierge.

"Please tell my father that the unfilial daughter Yu Ruo is back."
