Chapter 543 Condolences to the Family

Returning to Jintai East House, Shi Miaoer, who was guarding the outer courtyard, told everyone that Ben Yali and Chen Yuheng had both gone out. The former was performing on the street, while the latter did not say where he was going.

Feng Yeling called Xia Shuang and told her to pack her clothes and luggage: "We will set off in half an hour."

Xia Shuang was surprised and said: "Where are you going?"

"Changping, you come with me." Feng Yeling walked into the hanging flower gate without stopping and said calmly: "The king has chosen a new camp for the Langya Army in Changping, and I have to deal with the relevant relocation."

She didn't mention this on the way home. Lan Qiao was startled when she heard this: "Are you really going to leave?"

"Of course, the relocation of the army is not a trivial matter. Why should I go there and take a look." Feng Yeling said as he took out his suitcase.

Seeing Xia Shuang hurriedly starting to clean up, Lan Qiao said helplessly: "Then when will you come back?"

"It's the New Year now, and it will definitely be difficult for them to be away from home. I can't leave them alone and enjoy themselves in the city." Feng Yeling thought for a while and said, "Today is the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, and I will be there for five days.

Come back on the evening of the 29th."

Xia Shuang moved quickly, packed her luggage quickly, went to the street to hail a car, and told Feng Yeling that she could leave at any time.

Feng Yeling said goodbye to Lan Qiao, picked up a few belongings and left. From the moment she proposed to leave home until the carriage left, she never glanced at Hua Yuxi or said a word to her, just like her

Although he was standing not far away from Lan Qiao, it felt like he never existed at all.

Hua Yuxi smiled, shook her head and said: "This Xiaoye, I have done everything, but I still want to show off."

Lan Qiao was confused and asked: "What did she do?"

"Nothing..." Hua Yuxi pursed her lips and smiled. Just as she was about to go to the West House to see Xiaowan, the door of the East House was knocked open again.

"Brother Lan Qiao! Brother Lan Feng!" Zhu Qingxiao's voice came from outside the door, "Open the door quickly!"

The person on duty was Dahai. When he heard it was Zhu Qingxiao, he opened the door with a smile.

But I saw Zhu Qingxiao standing outside the door panting. Packages and wooden boxes of various sizes were almost piled up in the entire alley, leaving other pedestrians passing by with almost no place to stay.

"What are you..." Lan Qiao said in surprise.

Zhu Qingxiao smiled naively and said, "I have decided to move to Brother Lanqiao's house from today on."

Lan Qiao looked at her luggage piled all over the floor in disbelief: "So you moved everything here early in the morning?"

"Aren't you welcome?" Zhu Qingxiao pouted, then smiled: "They start cleaning up before dawn. Anyway, Brother Lanqiao's house is big, so there is room for more."

At this time, Hua Yuxi also came out and said, "The little princess is not going to live in the Xishe. The main room on the second floor is still empty."

"I don't want it. I'll live in the second room, and you live in the third room by yourself? Am I still inferior to you?" Zhu Qingxiao said angrily, "Brother Lanqiao's back room is not occupied by anyone yet, so I will move."

Where to go? The place is big and spacious.”

Hua Yuxi kindly reminded: "The back room is located in the north, and it is cold in winter. The little princess might as well..."

"I'll just burn more charcoal." Zhu Qingxiao glared at Hua Yuxi, suddenly thought of something, couldn't help but smile and said: "Hua, don't you think I'm in the way? Are you afraid that I will influence you to seduce Brother Lanqiao?

Bar?"

Lan Qiao heard her talk getting more and more outrageous, and laughed and scolded: "What do you know, little brat? Stop poking at the door? Come in quickly."

"I'm not that young." Zhu Qingxiao muttered, puffing out his chest in dissatisfaction and walking through the door with his head held high.

The sea called Dajiang, Dahe and Dahu? The four of them helped Zhu Qingxiao move things together, and it still took nearly half an hour to pack them up.

During this period, in order not to interfere with the four people's work, Lan Qiao followed Hua Yuxi to her west room. She wanted to go to the west wing to take a look at Xiao Wan, but Xiao Wan left the room empty, apparently to help them run business.

Already.

The Lu sisters were responsible for the daily cleaning of the west house. When they saw the two coming, they hurriedly let them into the main room. Lu Xuerou served fragrant tea, while Lu Bingrou added charcoal to the furnace to make the fire burn brighter.

"Master, what are your plans for the next few days?" Hua Yuxi picked up a tea bowl, opened the lid and blew on it before handing it to Lan Qiao, smiling and teasing him: "Xiaoye went out of town, Master.

Will you feel lonely?"

Lan Qiao took the tea bowl, took a sip and sighed: "As the New Year is approaching, many soldiers from Huairou Camp have been killed on the battlefield and will never wait for the New Year. Although it is inevitable that people will die in war, as a general, I still feel heartbroken.

.In the next few days, I plan to visit in person to express my condolences to the families of the martyrs who died in the battle at Juyongguan in Peking."

Hua Yuxi nodded and said: "I knew that the young master was kind-hearted, and the list of fallen soldiers has been prepared for him."

As she said that, she got up, went around behind the screen, and retrieved a few pieces of incense paper: "Starting from the first battle we led the troops to fight, the total number of casualties in the Huairou Battalion was 738, of which 332 were killed.

They were locals in Peiping, and the remaining 406 came from surrounding counties. Among the more than 300 people in Peiping, 61 were the only boys in their families. After their deaths, they left behind their parents and children who were helpless.

Sister, the family has lost its incense, and the sorrow is self-evident. If you want to express condolences, you might as well start with these sixty-one families."

Lan Qiao listened to Hua Yuxi's detailed explanation and saw the names and addresses of the fallen soldiers recorded in detail on those pieces of paper. He asked curiously: "When did you summarize this?"

Hua Yuxi said calmly: "I wrote it last night. Anyway, I was busy cooking porridge."

Lan Qiao said in surprise: "Almost half a month has passed since we chased Guilichi. Do you still remember it so clearly?"

"You don't believe it?" Hua Yuxi smiled, tapped her head with her fingers and said, "It's all here, exactly."

Lan Qiao knew that she had an excellent memory, so he said, "Would you like to accompany me? I plan to go to five to ten houses every day starting from the afternoon, and I will go to the street to buy some condolences in the morning."

Hua Yuxi said apologetically: "Young Master has given me the order. Is there any reason for the slave family to be reluctant? It's just that the slave family has to go to give Uncle Leng an injection in the afternoon, so I'm afraid I can only accompany the master until he finishes shopping."

Lan Qiao said with regret: "Well, then I have to go by myself."

"If the young master likes to be accompanied by the slave family, then we can leave early and have more time." Hua Yuxi smiled sweetly and said, "Let Dalu and Xiaolu talk to the young master. The slave family will go change clothes first."

After saying that, she blinked and left with a gust of fragrant wind.

"Big deer and little deer? That's what she usually calls you?" Lan Qiao laughed dumbly and said to the two Lu girls who were standing by.

Comparing the two girls, the elder sister Lu Xuerou is shy, while the younger sister Lu Bingrou is more bold. Lu Bingrou answered straightforwardly: "It's easy to tell the big deer from the little deer. Sister Hua sometimes even says to herself, big deer."

What's going on with Stupid Fish, I don't know if you're talking about the young master, or someone else?"

Lan Qiao was speechless for a while. He didn't want to point out that "Big Stupid Fish" refers to himself, nor could he say that Hua Yuxi was still thinking about others. He forced himself to cough and said, "What else did she say?"

Sister Lu Xuerou covered her mouth and smiled sweetly. She was obviously deeply interested in Lan Qiao's current embarrassment. However, Lu Bingrou seemed to be unaware and continued: "Sister Hua also said that she has never seen such a stupid person. His head is so stupid."

It grows from elm wood."

Seeing that they dared to laugh at him, Lan Qiao snorted and said: "You'd better be grateful that I have a big head, otherwise when we were in the Xiang Mansion, I would have asked you and your sisters to sleep together earlier. Anyway, Brother Xiang also spoke, no?"

Enjoy it for nothing.”

The two sisters looked at each other with a blush on their faces. Lu Bingrou stamped her feet and was about to speak when she heard Hua Yuxi's voice coming from the inner room: "Master, can you please come in and help me take a look at this hairpin?"
