Rebirth of Tao Yao

All the way back to Beijing, all the way to the south, the wind and snow in the south is not as strong as in the north, and the feasible road is still often blocked.By the time Yan Li and his party stepped into Gyeonggi despite the wind and snow, it was already late November, ten days later than expected.

In the evening of that day, a group of people settled in a post house that was a day's journey away from the capital. As soon as Yan Li entered the door, he took off the fur cloak that was wrapped around him, and shook it off, leaving a thick layer of accumulation. It was snowing, and the fur outside the cloak was even more icy.She looked helplessly at the almost frozen cloak, and had no choice but to throw it to the soldiers, asking them to help tidy and dry it.

Yan Qing's situation was not much better, the cloak he took off made a crackling sound, and fine ice crystals fell all over the floor.He glanced at the ice and snow on the ground, and couldn't help frowning and sighing: "This year, the snow is really heavy."

Yan Li knew that his father's words were no longer a mere exclamation, but a complete worry.Because they traveled south all the way through many places, and after the first snowfall, they saw many places experiencing snow disasters.

In some places, after a night of blizzards, houses were crushed by the heavy snow, and few people survived in the entire village. Those who survived had no houses to shelter from the cold, and no food to feed their stomachs. How could they survive?When they saw it, they felt compassion, but they could do very little. In the end, they saw it too much and could only turn a blind eye.

So in the next trip, everyone's mood became depressed.It wasn't until they stepped into Gyeonggi and they were about to reach the destination of this trip that the atmosphere of the team gradually eased down.

Yan Li didn't accept Yan Qing's words, but only took the hand warmer from Yicheng and passed it over, but asked, "Father, when are we going back to the border town?"

This is thinking about going back before arriving in the capital. It sounds a little urgent, but everyone in the same company doesn't think it's different.Because those who grew up in the frontier knew that there was already a snowstorm in the south, and the situation in the northern border was probably even worse.They don't worry about the house collapsing and crushing people to death. Years of heavy snow makes the house stand the test, but the crops in the field will freeze to death, and the cattle and sheep in the pen will not survive.

Although the Hu people suffered a big loss this summer and lost a lot of troops in the border town, and the Hu people's royal court was also in danger due to the great loss of strength, but if they really encountered a natural disaster and couldn't survive, their first choice would definitely be Gather up and go south to plunder!

Originally, Yan Li wasn't worried about the Hu people's vitality being seriously injured. It can be seen that after the endless snowfall, she also began to worry about the safety of the border town—not to mention anything else, her future mother-in-law is still waiting in the border town. Being broken at this time, it is impossible for a weak woman like Qin Yunshu to escape again.Even under natural disasters and man-made disasters, they will die quite miserably.

Yan Qing was clutching the warm hand stove, with a hint of melancholy on his brows, he said: "As soon as possible."

But no matter how soon, they had to arrive in the capital first, and they hadn't arrived at their destination yet, so it was too early to talk about the return journey.General Yan didn't want to see the atmosphere continue to be dull, so he suppressed the worry on his face and said, "Okay, we haven't arrived in the capital yet, so let's not talk about it now. Let's all have a good meal and rest. You will be refreshed when you enter the city tomorrow."

Although no large army returned to Beijing, the aura of this group of people also represented the sergeants of Northern Xinjiang.If they were all slumped when they entered Beijing tomorrow, it would not only be shameful for Yan Qing, but the entire Northern Army would be looked down upon!

After hearing the words, everyone put down their worries for the time being, cheered up and urged the posthouse to prepare for food.

This post house is only a day's journey away from the capital, and many people who come and go to and from the capital will settle here. It is not an exaggeration to say that this place can be regarded as a facade of the capital.Therefore, this post house is not small, besides the post office, there are more than ten or twenty handymen busy, not to mention the thirty or so people in Yan Li's party, even two or three times the number of people can be greeted here .

After being urged by his own soldiers, Yicheng quickly brought a few handymen to set up the meals, and he was very polite - General Yan is now a second-rank high-ranking official, and he is also a powerful general with a heavy army in his hands. Naturally, Yicheng did not dare to offend. He personally greeted and took care of him.

************************************************** ********************

Yan Li led Wen Ziran and Yan Qing to sit at a table, looking at the steaming hot food on the table, his depressed mood finally became brighter—they had traveled all the way through wind and snow, and the living conditions were quite limited, Wen Ziran accompanied her more than once I ate the mustache.Every time Yan Li sees his sweetheart grinding the mustache with his snow-white teeth, his heart aches, and now he can finally have a good meal.

Thinking of this, Yan Li didn't even care about his father who was eating at the same table, and turned his eyes to a piece of steamed fish on the table.The fish looked light and delicious, she picked out the bones carefully, and put it into Wen Ziran's bowl after making sure it was clean.

It's not the first time eating at the same table, and Yan Qing has seen Yan Li serving Wen Ziran's dishes more than once, but every time he sees him, he still can't help but feel stuffy.Perhaps it was only at this time that General Yan could see his daughter's careful and considerate side. Unfortunately, none of this care and consideration was directed at him. This girl has been raised for more than ten years in vain!

General Yan was aggrieved and held the chopsticks in his left hand to pick up vegetables. He was not very skillful in his movements. He managed to pick up a piece of fish with chopsticks. Before he could put it back in his bowl, he heard a loud bang outside the door.

With a shake of his hand, the fish fell on the table, and General Yan's face darkened.

Of course, Yan Li didn't feel sorry for the fish with chopsticks, it's just that he is right-handed, and he is not very proficient in switching to the left.Although this noise was caught off guard, but in his capacity, he should have kept his expression on his face and his heart beating, and now it is considered a great embarrassment.

But fortunately, General Yan is not a person who loses his temper indiscriminately. Although his face was dark, he didn't really get angry. Instead, he turned his eyes and looked in the direction where the loud noise came from.

The direction of the voice was the gate of the post house. Before the guards on the side went over to check the situation, there were already noisy voices from outside.Then the young man's clear voice sounded, full of arrogance: "Where are you guys? If someone comes out, I'm going to freeze to death. Hurry up and prepare hot water and food for me. The horses with my young master also come to feed them personally!"

Hearing the impoliteness in these words, it seems that this post house is a restaurant and inn.

Posthouses are different from inns and restaurants. The former is run by the imperial court. Although posthouses are not popular, they can be regarded as small officials.Ordinary people are not qualified to live in the post house, and most of the people who live in the post house are officials, and they will not shout like that young man.

Everyone who was eating was surprised to hear it, not to mention that General Yan had already put down his chopsticks, and someone went to open the closed door immediately.This dining room happened to be able to see the scene at the gate, so as soon as the door opened, everyone saw a few young men and women in brocade clothes and mink fur broke into the post house, and several of them held exquisitely decorated bows and arrows in their hands. They were all from wealthy backgrounds, but the group from the border town didn't know them.

People in the border town don't know the boy, but the postman in this posthouse obviously knows him.When he heard the shout, he trotted up to meet him, and when he saw the leading young man, he nodded and bowed to greet him: "It's freezing cold, why did Shizi come out of the city? Hurry up, gentlemen, come with me!" The little ones go to the room to warm up first."

The new group of people quickly followed Yi Cheng, and Yi Cheng did not lead anyone to Yan Li's side, but Yan Li's sharp eyes found a familiar figure among the group.It wasn't until the group of young men and women walked away that she turned her head and said to Yan Qing: "I seem to have seen Princess Roujia just now, does Dad know these people? Could it be the son of King Yan?"

The people outside the house had already left, and the door was closed again by the guards. Hearing this, Yan Qing picked up the wine glass next to him and drank it down, but he said angrily, "It was five years ago that your father returned to Beijing last time. , and don’t look at how old those people are, how can I recognize them?”

If you don’t recognize them, don’t recognize them, it’s not a big deal, the group of young people seem to just come here by chance after hunting.And even Rou Jia can only be regarded as an acquaintance in Yan Li's heart, and no amount of friendship will be lost—except for Wen Ziran, it seems difficult for her to accept the approach of others, even if she just wants to be her friend, she doesn't Not so easy.

So Yan Li didn't pay attention to these people anymore, turned his head and picked up a small row of chopsticks and put it into Wen Ziran's bowl. He turned his head and wanted to get a piece for himself, but Yan Qing said again: "The one just now is not the son of Prince Yan, It should be the eldest son of another prince's family."

Leaving aside the nature of King Yan, he always looks like a virtuous and virtuous corporal, and his sons behave like him.Although Yan Qing had never seen it before, he had heard about it a long time ago, and he definitely wouldn't be as flamboyant as that young man before.However, since Rou Jia is inferior to that young man, he probably won't be the son of a marquis or an ordinary prince.

Yan Li bit his ribs and thought for a while, but he didn't know what kind of disputes these royal children had.But left and right, they just came to the capital for a stroll, and after the emperor's call, they should go back in a few days, so it's meaningless to entangle them.

This little episode was gently let go by Yan Li, she seemed to have finally remembered that there was a father at the same table who needed care, so she also put a piece of the small ribs that she thought tasted good in General Yan's bowl.Turning his eyes to see the piece of fish that fell on the table, he picked up another piece of fish for his father, thinking he was very considerate, but this time he forgot to pick the thorn.

Well, my dad has sharp eyes and hands, and won't be troubled by small fishbone, so what is she bothering about?

The little general felt at ease after serving food for his father. He took care of Wen Ziran while eating, and he took care of Wen Ziran with meat and vegetables, and he was very considerate and thoughtful.It's just that the more this is the case, the more resentment my father sees, if it weren't for the fact that there are many soldiers watching beside him, he would have sighed sadly: If you have a daughter-in-law, forget your father!

But resentment is resentment, it was the first time for my daughter to be so considerate, even if it was incidental, General Yan also happily ate the ribs and fish that Yan Li had caught.At the end, I drank another glass of wine and felt that it tasted good.
