yes sire

The news of the victory of the Northern Expeditionary Army quickly spread throughout the capital, and the shops on Qipan Street that were bombed and burned had also been repaired.People gradually came out from the shadow of death, and the busiest market in Beijing regained its former popularity.

On Muxiu, the first day of December, Han You got up early, changed his clothes, and waited at home for Xia Siyan to pick him up.He promised Xia Siyan to go see the reconstruction of Qipan Street together today, and the two of them didn't go out of the palace together for some days. They are too busy recently, so it is rare for them to go out for a walk.

Just after Si time, a small and delicate carriage stopped at the entrance of the Han Mansion on Shamao Street, and Han You lifted the curtain and sat in it.

None of them noticed that at this time someone was hiding in an inconspicuous corner of the side alley of the Han Mansion, spying on him secretly.When the curtain was lifted, the man saw a beautiful woman in a red dress and veil sitting in the carriage.

The news immediately reached Wu Shijie.

Wu Shijie was falling asleep on his concubine's bed. When his confidant came to report, he got up from the bed and said viciously: "Hurry up and tell Hero Yin at Boxiang Inn, tell him to find a chance to do it! Make things beautiful, don't let people find out. Already!"

The concubine also sat up, clutching her chest and said, "Are you really going to kill Han You? He is a second-rank member of the imperial court, and the master..."

Wu Shijie finally got his chance after waiting for so long. His fingertips were numb with excitement, and he shouted impatiently, "Shut up! What does a woman know?"

The concubine's face turned pale from his yelling, and her peach blossom eyes immediately filled with tears.After Wu Shijie scolded her, he felt that her pitiful appearance was very touching, so he hugged her into his arms and comforted her gently: "You don't know that Han You, since he became the Minister of the Household Department, he has been making trouble for me to wear small shoes. First stop The brand name money cut off my source of income, and now the official camp is open, and I have been left alone and not allowed to take care of me. He has been targeting me, and I will never be able to make a living with him!"

The concubine murmured, "Why didn't you tell the master, the master will definitely help you."

"My father's ass is crooked! He just fell in love with Han You and won the favor of that little emperor. It's too late to flatter him. He always looks at Han You. I think he would rather have Han You as his son!"

"But, it's in broad daylight," the concubine thinks of her encounter with Han You, and she has a good impression of Han You in her heart, and she is afraid and worried, "This murder is a capital crime, my husband, why don't you think of other ways? "

Wu Shijie let her go, and said, "There's a fart way, as long as he, Han You, is around, I won't be able to survive!"

"But..." The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, and wept bitterly.

Wu Shijie put her into his arms again, and coaxed her: "It's okay, do you know who that hero Yin is? That's a master I hired from Yuanzhou with all my money, Yin Xun, who ranks third in martial arts in the world! He can walk a hundred steps In addition to taking the head of a person, even if he is discovered, he can run away. Han You has offended many aristocratic families by promoting the official camp to support the new party for the little emperor. People who want him to die can be ranked from here At the gate of the city, no one will guess us."

"But it's broad daylight, can it work?"

Wu Shijie caressed her face and said, "Don't worry, I have asked someone to follow Han You for two months. He usually brings guards when he goes out, but when he was meeting with that dancer girl, there was no one around him. An unarmed How could a civil servant, a woman with no strength to restrain a chicken, escape Yin Xun's grasp. I invited Yin Xun here, and what I've been waiting for is today!"

The concubine was still wiping away her tears, so Wu Shijie wiped her face with his sleeve, and then put on a sweet-tongued face and said, "When Han You dies, my father will definitely push Guo Xiuwen to be Minister of the Household Department. Guo Xiuwen and I are close buddies." My son! At that time, what do we want? Oh, don't cry."

The concubine nodded, panting and buried her head in Wu Shijie's chest.

Han You and Xia Siyan got off the carriage at the intersection of Qipan Street, Zhong Lai led people scattered around far away as usual, quietly hiding in the crowd, it looked as if there were only Han You and Xia Siyan Walk the streets alone.

Because it was still early, shops on both sides were opening one after another. Although there were not many people on the street, it was already bustling.Xia Siyan wore a red wide-sleeved skirt, and Han You wore a lake blue silk gown. Both of them were tall and elegant, and when they walked together, they were an enviable pair of Biren, which made passers-by on the street feel uneasy. Can't help but look back at them.

Xia Siyan tilted his head and asked Han You: "Why do they keep looking at us?"

Han You held his hand generously and said, "They are jealous that I have such a beautiful wife."

"Ma'am?" Xia Siyan raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.For the time being, let Han You take advantage of the verbal advantage, and then go back later to prove who is the wife with practical actions.

As the twelfth lunar month enters, the streets have begun to welcome the New Year, and the arcades of the guild halls and restaurants are also covered with red lanterns.The day's business has just started, and the guys in various shops are busy, and the carriages transporting goods are in an endless stream.

They walked along the street all the way to the place where the accident happened that day. The burnt houses had been completely renovated, and a three-story building was rebuilt on the original site of the bombed-out restaurant, which was more magnificent than the original one.

Because of the new policy of opening up business, the number of people doing business on the street has obviously doubled. In addition to these shops with fixed stores, those hawkers who set up temporary wooden sheds also set up their stalls, preparing to make a living for a day.

Han You took Xia Siyan's hand and walked to the stall selling fried rice cakes, took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the boss, "I want a fried rice cake."

The boss was stunned for a moment when he took the money, and said with an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry, sir, we're a small business, and we didn't bring scissors and picks. This... can't be found."

Han You smiled gently, "It's all right, you don't need to look for it."

The boss immediately showed a big smile, his face was flushed with joy, he hurriedly greeted him and said: "Hurry up and decorate this official!"

The proprietress was also very happy to see the generosity of the guests. She deftly put the rice cakes into the oil pan and fried them until golden. Crunchy and crunchy peanuts, put two bamboo sticks in the bag, handed it to Han You with both hands and said: "Guest officer, take it, be careful not to burn it."

Han You took it, inserted a piece with a bamboo stick, put it in his mouth to let it cool, and bit it down.The rice cakes are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the brown sugar is just right, and the peanuts are roasted to the right temperature. The aroma is pervasive in the mouth during chewing.Han You licked the powder on the corner of his lips and narrowed his eyes with a smile.

The proprietress was attracted by this good-looking young boy, and seeing him put the remaining half in his mouth, the woman next to him immediately lifted the veil and snatched his rice cake mouth to mouth.

At a glance, the sharp-edged lower half of his face was clearly a man.

Then she saw the young man in blue kissing the veiled forehead with a smile, she suddenly felt her heart beating faster and her face felt a little hot.

Until the two walked away holding hands, she still hadn't recovered.

After all, it was deep-fried food, Han You couldn't eat it after a few pieces, but Xia Siyan liked it very much, "I've never eaten this food before."

"This is a very common market snack, and it's normal that the palace doesn't have it," Han You said, "but the imperial chef will definitely make it."

"No, it's interesting to eat these outside with you. It's interesting to eat while walking."

There are strict rules in the palace, and Xia Siyan was taught from a young age that he could not eat or sleep, not to mention eating while walking, even talking while eating would be criticized.He finds the experience fresh.

Han You said: "The life of ordinary people in the market is like this. Sometimes they don't have time to go to work, they rush to work, and they don't have time to sit down and eat well. They just eat in their hands like this."

Xia Siyan nodded: "Yes."

Han You continued: "We have won a big victory this time. I'm afraid that Beichang Kingdom will not give up easily. General Yu still has a few tough battles to fight. Even if those soldiers suffer, their parents may also be the same as these little snack sellers." A street vendor will blush with joy for a piece of silver. But my son is on the battlefield, and he may die on the battlefield every day."

"Poor bone beside the Wuding River, still the person in the girl's dream in spring," Xia Siyan raised his eyebrows: "Is this what you want to say, sir?"

"I really want this war to end as soon as possible, what does Your Majesty think?"

What Xia Siyan told Yu Sixian was to subdue Beichang at any cost this time, but he didn't mention this to Han You, so he just smiled at this moment, "It's up to General Yu."

"The opening up for business is a pretty good start, but it's hard to predict whether it will go on smoothly and how much revenue will be added to the national treasury. Judging from the current situation, we can't delay it. Your Majesty still needs to be cautious."

"I have it in my mind."

Han You wanted to persuade him again, but Zhong Lai suddenly jumped down from the roof, drew his sword and stood in front of Han You and Xia Siyan, and the guards who were hiding everywhere also gathered from all directions, surrounding the two of them.

Pedestrians on the street saw this battle, and ran into nearby stores to avoid it, and the lively and peaceful Qipan Street became tense again.

"What happened?" Xia Siyan asked.

Zhong Lai stared at the distance vigilantly, and said succinctly: "There are masters, but those who come are not kind, please return to the palace immediately."
