The woman responded softly and sniffed it herself. There was indeed a scent.
But she wasn't sure. After all, she had only eaten instant noodles once, and they didn't taste spicy beef.
"Are you asking your father?"
After all, this is one of the major cities where Xu Jiajun is developing. A divine item like instant noodles is a desirable but unobtainable good thing in Xuzhou.
But in the main city of Xu Jiajun, there must be some in the hands of meritorious adults.
Maybe the person living in the house next to him is a big shot in the Xu family's army.
The boy immediately got out of the carriage and turned to his father, who was riding in front of him to lead the way. "Father, is that right?"
He knew that his father had heard what he and his mother said in the carriage.
The man turned his head, looked at the seven or eight-year-old boy squatting in front of the carriage and said, "Your nose is really smart."
This can be regarded as confirming the boy's guess.
The man asked the Xu Jiajun soldier who was following him in confusion, "Who lives in this courtyard?"
The soldier replied: "Mr. Sima, this is the temporary residence prepared by the leader for General Zhao Bei's family."
"They just entered the city this evening," the soldier added.
After hearing this, Sima Yi raised his eyebrows subconsciously, "Mrs. Gan is back?"
Soldier responds: "Yes."
"The Sun family's team that came for the marriage also arrived together?"
The soldier nodded: "Already checked in at the post house."
Sima Yi glanced at the courtyard where the rich aroma of food emanated, recalling the steep decline in food during this period, and secretly swallowed his saliva.
It seemed that the leader's family should also be in the courtyard, because he could smell the strong aroma of wine overflowing in the air.
Only the leader can get that kind of wine, which is as pure as water.
Although there is no explicit order prohibiting people from privately brewing wine in Xu Jiajun's territory, it is obvious that the living standards of Xu Jiajun's people are not at a level where they are willing to use grain to make wine.
After thinking about it for a while, Sima Yi already had an idea of the number of people eating in the courtyard.
If he hadn't brought his wife and children with him now, he would have been shameless enough to go in and ask for a drink.
The cold wind whistled with snowflakes, interrupting Sima Yi's thoughts.
That’s all, it’s better to settle down and rest quickly before talking about anything else.
"Sir, go in and stay with your mother and sister."
The little boy squatting on the shaft of the car had received a satisfactory answer and obediently got into the car.
In just a short time, his little face turned red from the cold.
Sima Yi signaled the driver to speed up and walked at the front.
A woman whispered in the carriage behind her, "Second Aunt, how long will it take for us to get to where Second Uncle lives?"
The female voice comforted her softly: "It's almost time. When Ping'er is tired, just lean on your aunt and relax for a while. I'll call you when I get there."
Zishang also responded: "Sister, please go to sleep. Zishang will call you when you get there."
"Oh well."
The carriage fell silent, and Sima Yi, who was walking in front, shook his head helplessly.
He didn't want to bring his eldest brother's niece, but he couldn't resist his old father's threat of a hunger strike, so he brought this delicate niece over.
However, along the way, I don’t know if it was because of my parents’ instructions. Although there were complaints, it was generally quite worry-free.
"Looking for a husband..." Sima Yi felt a headache just thinking about it.
Anyway, if the chief has to do one thing, he can do it, and if he has to do two things, it can be done. Why not just leave this niece to the chief?
Sima Yi felt that he was so smart that he could come up with such a brilliant plan.
Now, I have an explanation to my father, brother and sister-in-law.
Xu Yue didn't know that the pot came from the sky while she was sitting at home.
After the hot pot meal was enjoyed by both the guests and the host, Zhuge Liang was already a little tipsy. After Zhao Bei and Wang Dayou took him to the guest room to lie down, Xu Yue's family withdrew.
Daniel also had to separate from his two brothers.
The three boys, A Jian, Daniel, and Adou, usually fight and fight, and they all despise each other when they see each other. But when they really wanted to separate, they were reluctant to part with each other for a long time.
In the end, Xu Yue couldn't bear it anymore and dragged Daniel away, thus ending the reluctant farewell.
When she returned to her residence, she learned that Sima Yi and his family had arrived in Hejian County, and Xu Yue decided to meet him tomorrow morning.
The New Year is almost here, I hope Sima Yi can bring back good news.
"Go to bed, I have something to do tomorrow." Xu Yue waved to the family members, handed Daniel to Xu Dalang, and then washed up and rested.
Halfway through sleeping, two little heads were tucked under the quilt. Xu Yue squinted her eyes and saw the cute little faces of her two nephews. She put the two small heaters in her arms and the three aunt and nephew slept soundly.
go.
Xu Yue woke up very early the next day, Xu Dongbei and Xu Pingyuan were not awake yet, and Xu Erniang ran off somewhere early in the morning.
Fortunately, there is a ready-made nanny in the courtyard.
"Daniel, I'm on my way to do something. Look at the Northeast and Pingyuan. If they wake up and call for mother, take them to Xu Erniang."
After giving the explanation, he ignored the young man's resentful eyes, left the two guards staring at the house in the wing, and walked towards the Hejian County Government Office.
When they arrived at the gate of the government office, few officials had arrived. Xu Yue waited for one and asked him to tell Sima Yi.
"Let him come to the conference room to see me later, and then ask Governor Su Ci, Zhao Bei and other relevant personnel from the foreign affairs department to come to the conference room for a meeting."
After finishing what she had to explain, Xu Yue went to the cafeteria and ate two big buns and drank a glass of soy milk. Everyone was there just in time.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the winter sky was still gray and bright, and the small conference room filled with candles was filled with familiar faces that Xu Yue knew.
Zhao Bei had just learned that Sima Yi was back. The two of them greeted each other and sat down opposite each other, returning to expressionless faces.
These two people have a bit of a secret rivalry in private.
However, as Xu Yue's confidant, Sima Yi was more interested in political power.
As for Zhao Bei, he followed Xu Da and Wang Pingping on the battlefield. Although he had a lot of military power, he still wanted to play politics in his heart.
The atmosphere at the meeting was a bit delicate, but fortunately there was an old man named Su Ci to mediate it, and the meeting started smoothly.
Xu Yue noticed that Yuan Song actually joined the meeting, but he was sitting in the corner as an observer, trying to reduce his presence.
He secretly glanced around and found that Xu Yue was the only one in the Xu family, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Yue liked efficient short meetings, and no one was talking nonsense. Sima Yi directly reported what happened during his trip and the progress of the discussion.
"With the hard work of my father and brother, the Cao family finally agreed to sign a ceasefire agreement with our Xu Jiajun, allowing the two sides to trade with each other and lift the blockade."
"However, the other party also has conditions."
"What conditions?" Xu Yue ignored the matter of Sima Yi bringing personal goods to his father and brother, and let him talk about the key points.
Sima Yi's mouth twitched slightly, but he also knew that it was enough to stop talking. He stopped mentioning his family's efforts on this matter and directly took out the draft agreement and presented it to Xu Yue.
