The cannon fodder through the book will live to the end

After the celebration banquet that day, Tao Anran obviously felt that the generals in the barracks were more enthusiastic about him.In the past, it was pure politeness and alienation, but now it is warm and smiling.

He couldn't help feeling that money can turn ghosts around.Having meat can make these men smile.

However, as Xiao Jingyu's injuries healed, Tao Anran was about to return home.His status in the military camp is very inconvenient, and there are people in the palace to worry about.Of course, the most important thing is that Xiao Jingyu asked Tao Anran to go back to the house to tidy up, and they are expected to return to Beijing after the next year.

Xiao Jingyu usually discusses some matters with his confidants in the camp, and he doesn't deliberately avoid him.So he also heard some plans.

Now the voices in the capital to invite the crown prince are getting louder and louder.Xiao Jingci, king of Liang, had the highest voice among civil servants because of his meritorious service in water control and his friendship with literati and scholars on weekdays.Because Xiao Jingyu has been guarding the northwest all the time, and his military achievements are all real, he was naturally classified into the generals group.

Civil servants and military generals have been divided into two factions since ancient times.Civil servants think that military generals will only use force to solve problems, which is too vulgar.Military generals think that civil servants are always procrastinating and can't get things done.So the two are always at odds.

Now that the matter of setting up the prince is involved, the two are even more at odds with each other.There was a lot of commotion in the court hall, and Emperor Jin De was able to ignore it at first.But as time goes by, he probably won't be able to hold it down for long.

Therefore, the crown prince probably won't be vacant for a long time, and everyone is watching the actions of Emperor Jin De with wide eyes.And Xiao Jingyu is bound to win this position.Just in this great victory, he got rid of the serious illness again, and it was the time when he was in high spirits.

It is impossible for him to stay in the northwest all the time, and it is time to return to the court, disturb the situation, and get what belongs to him.

Xiao Jingyu happened to arrange some things through the leader of the Enaji tribe captured alive this time, so that they would not dare to commit crimes for the next two years.Wait until the wool strategy is effective, so that they don't want to make a mistake.

No matter how sad it is, it's time to say goodbye.Tao Anran and Xiao Jingyu bid farewell.

Xiao Jingyu comforted: "You go back to the mansion first, and I will return to the mansion soon after I arrange the things here."

Tao Anran looked at him, and replied: "Then I'll go back first. My lord, your body is just right, and you should pay more attention to rest."

Xiao Jingyu agreed, "Okay, I will pay attention."

The words of exhortation have already been said last night, and there is no need to say anything more at this time.After Tao Anran waved goodbye at the end, the carriage started to move.

Tao Anran kept looking back at the barracks, seeing that Xiao Jingyu was still watching him in place.He didn't put down the curtain until he couldn't see the tent.

Tao Anran sighed after putting down the car curtain, and a faint voice came from beside him, "Princess, you and the prince will only be separated for a while, so don't be so sad."

Only then did Tao Anran notice that Qu Zhishui was also in the car, and he couldn't help asking: "Doctor Qu, when did you get in the car? Didn't you stay at the military doctor's office all the time?"

Holding hot tea, Qu Zhishui said lightly, "Princess, I've been in the carriage all the time. Now that I'm resting after the war, the military medical department doesn't need me to help. Those military doctors are enough. I just want to go back home to rest, And there was only one carriage, so I had to get into your carriage again."

Tao Anran nodded, that's why.But on the way back, with Dr. Qu accompanying him, it wasn't boring.

The snow on the road had turned to ice, and the carriage was not moving fast. Tao Anran sighed: "Time flies, it's the twelfth lunar month again, and the Chinese New Year will soon be here."

Qu Zhishui also replied: "That's true. Last year, the concubine watched the new year alone. This year, the prince will return to the mansion earlier to accompany you to celebrate the new year."

Tao Anran smiled and said, "That's fine. But last year I didn't keep the New Year's Eve alone, the prince and I watched the New Year's Eve together."

Qu Zhishui looked puzzled, why didn't he remember that the prince came back last year for Chinese New Year.He couldn't help asking: "Did the prince come back last year?"

Seeing his doubtful expression, Tao Anran smiled and said, "The prince came back late, so he didn't disturb other people. It's normal if you don't know."

Qu Zhishui suddenly realized, and replied: "The prince and the princess really have a deep relationship, which is enviable."

Tao Anran looked at him and said suddenly: "Why be envious, is Dr. Qu married? Or is there someone he likes?"

Qu Zhishui almost spit out a sip of tea, he coughed twice, and quickly replied: "I don't have this yet. I am thin and weak, I only like to study medical skills, so I don't want to delay others."

Tao Anran frowned, "Doctor Qu, isn't it just that your body is a little afraid of the cold? It's nothing. Besides, you have superb medical skills and a good-looking person. There should be many people who like you. If you have someone you like, I will I can help you take a look."

Qu Zhishui coughed several times, before replying: "I don't need to worry about this. I don't have any plans to start a family yet. I just want to focus on my medical skills, and I just want to improve my medical skills to a higher level."

Hearing what he said, Tao Anran had no choice but to give up.It's a pity that Dr. Qu, a diamond king, is a person who is devoted to his career.But Tao Anran was only joking with him, after all, the road was boring.

The atmosphere of the return trip was very different from the dullness of the arrival.Tao Anran chatted with Dr. Qu, and soon arrived at the mansion.After returning to the mansion, I took a brief rest, and it was time to be busy again.After all, there are many things to be busy in the twelfth lunar month.

With the experience of last year, Tao Anran was not so flustered this twelfth lunar month.With the help of Butler Li, he can be considered handy.

But because he was going back to Beijing, he spent most of his time sorting out accounts and packing things.Returning to Beijing this time is probably not a last resort, and they will not return to the northwest again.So there is a lot to pack.

Especially when they choose to go back after the New Year's Eve, which happens to be the time to give gifts, they always have to bring some Northwest specialties back to Beijing to give away.So unconsciously, there are more and more things to bring.

Xiao Jingyu had arranged things in the military camp, and when he returned home, there were only a few days left before the Chinese New Year.And he also brought Mr. Yan Zhen back to the mansion to celebrate the New Year.After arranging the small courtyard where Yan Zhen lived, he went straight to Xueji courtyard.

When Tao Anran was letting people tidy up the things to be taken away, he heard other people's salutes and greetings in his ears.Realizing that it was Xiao Jingyu who had returned, he quickly put down his things and stepped forward to greet her.

"My lord is back!"

"I'm back, come back to celebrate the New Year with you!"

Tao Anran was full of smiles, and pulled the man into the room, the two of them were tired and crooked.

As soon as Xiao Jingyu entered the room, he saw a few pieces of paper on the table. He picked it up and took a look. Some commonly used and valuable things were written on it.

He couldn't help wondering: "Of course, what is this? It looks like you're moving house?"

Tao Anran quickly said: "Aren't we just moving? My lord, we have lived here for a long time, and we are used to things. And we may not come back. These valuable things are also stored in the warehouse. Why not?" Bring them back to the capital. And if you want to give gifts to build relationships later on, these things are just right for you to give away."

Xiao Jingyu smiled and said, "Of course you are thoughtful, but there are too many things. If we go back to Beijing like this, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time on the way."

It's about Tao Anran getting upset, he said sadly: "I also feel that there are too many things, but I don't know which one to leave. I feel that everything is useful."

Xiao Jingyu looked at the list carefully, and said, "You don't need to bring so many frequently used things. We only need to bring two sets of clothes to change and wash on the way. Others are available in the capital. Take some valuables away, and hand over the rest to Qian Mancang. Let his caravan bring the goods back to the capital."

In this way, three times, five divisions and two divisions, the last things to be taken away should probably fit in a carriage.It's really light travel.

Finally dealt with some chores from years ago, and it was the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month.As usual, Tao Anran distributed year-end red envelopes to his servants like last year, and made some year-end summaries for the employees in the store.But what was different from last year was that this year Xiao Jingyu was sitting beside him, listening to him with a smile on his lips.

Then it was time for the New Year's Eve dinner, and it was also the most lively and happy time for everyone.In the hall, master and servant eat at separate tables, there are not so many rules today.

At the main table, Xiao Jingyu and Tao Anran sat at the main seats, while Qu Zhishui and Yan Zhen sat on both sides.At the beginning of the dinner, Xiao Jingyu toasted first and said: "On this day of saying goodbye to the old and ushering in the new, it is also a great pleasure to be able to celebrate the New Year with you all. Tonight I will not go home without getting drunk."

Tao Anran and the others quickly raised their glasses to celebrate together.Tonight is bound to be a sleepless night.

There was a staggering of toasts and chips on the table, and everyone laughed and laughed.Tao Anran couldn't help thinking that last year he was the only one eating the New Year's Eve dinner alone, but this year it will be so lively.Sure enough, it’s good that there are so many people!

Tao Anran was distracted for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that Xiao Jingyu had already raised the incense cup to him, and he quickly raised the wine glass in return.

Clinking the wine glass lightly, Xiao Jingyu smiled and said, "I wish Ranran peace and joy in the new year, and everything goes well!"

Tao Anran also raised a smile and replied: "I wish the prince health and happiness, and everything you want!"

In the bright lights, the two drank the wine in their glasses.If wine is not intoxicating, everyone is intoxicated.Qu Zhishui and Yan Zhen, who were so sour, looked at each other and toasted each other with a glass of wine.

On the last day of the year, everyone is happily preparing for the new year, whether they are princes, nobles or poor people.

The family of Granny Tian in Tianjiacun sat together as a family today, enjoying the time of reunion.The New Year's Eve dinner on the table is extremely rich, including chicken and fish, and there is no shortage of mutton and pork.This is a delicacy that was unimaginable before.

The mutton soup was simmered in a coal stove for an afternoon, and the flesh and blood were separated with a gentle clamp.Eating hot tofu and wearing a thick sweater, Granny Tian felt a little hot.

Smiling, she picked up chopsticks meat for her grandson, and Granny Tian began to instruct her: "Boss, when you and your daughter-in-law go back to your mother's house in two days, cut a few more cuts of meat, bring a basket of eggs, and wrap some more tofu with you. This year Having made money, we can't be as shabby as before."

Tian Dalang glanced at his wife and said with a smile: "Mother, I know. My brother-in-law and his village have a lot of people doing honeycomb coal this year, and they have made a lot of money. I will bring more things when the time comes."

Granny Tian nodded and continued to order: "Second brother, you made the most money knitting sweaters this year. When you go back, bring two sets of sweaters for your in-laws. You also bring meat and eggs."

Second Wife Tian nodded quickly, "Thank you, mother."

Granny Tian nodded with satisfaction, and said with a sigh: "The days are getting better and better. How dare we imagine that we can earn so much money a year and eat these meats like before!"

The people at the dinner table also sighed in their hearts, this was indeed something that they did not dare to think about before.The days are getting better and better, and I hope that such good days can continue.
