"Brother Xue, have you drunk too much?" Yan Laoer asked tentatively.
"My old Xue won't get drunk after a thousand cups!"
When Yan Laoer heard this, he said, "Good guy, if you are so capable, I will give you more."
"There is still meat in the pot. You can fish it out again. Bring your bowl and I will mix some dipping sauce for you." He said it twice before Mr. Xue Qi handed the bowl over in confusion.
Yan Laoer poured a lot of salt into it, plus vinegar, chive flowers, onions, garlic...
Salty, salty.
Mr. Xue Qi really caught a few more pieces of meat, rolled it into the bowl and put it in his mouth. He really drank too much. The salty taste made him feel delicious. After eating, he felt thirsty. The drinker did not stop drinking.
If you want water, drink it to a certain extent and use wine as water to quench your thirst.
No one needed to persuade me, I just fucked myself and took another bowl.
"Brother Xue, when will you move the military camp to the edge of our village?" Yan Laoer asked.
Mr. Xue Qi waved his hand: "Can we just move it? The troops and horses have not been moved yet, food and grass go first. Hiccup, do you think I have never studied?"
"Then don't move. Is it really that nice near Xiao'an Village?" Yan Laoer set a trap for him.
"That's what I said at first, but then I went back and thought about it, the better. We have to defend Huju, and Yongning must defend it too!
Xiao'an Village is a well-chosen location, close to everywhere.
What do you think is the most important point?" Mr. Xue Qi stared at Yan Laoer and asked.
"What?" Yan Laoer asked cooperatively.
"It's so close to my nephew. I have to protect him." Mr. Xue Qi still felt thirsty. He looked around and saw the wine jar. He bent down to reach for it and almost fell under the table.
Yan Laoer helped him and straightened him.
Yan Yu watched Mr. Xue Qi advance from the bowl to the altar, drink directly into the altar, drink half and sprinkle the other half.
But I couldn't care less about his waste at this time.
Yan Yu unsealed the second large wine jar and placed it next to her father.
Yan Huaiwen saw that the two men wanted to get General Xue Qi drunk today and asked him something.
After thinking for a while, he raised his wine and shouted: "Mr. Xue Qi, please."
Yan Laoer took the opportunity to fill General Xue Qi's bowl and reminded: "Brother Xue, my eldest brother is toasting you!"
When Mr. Xue Qi heard that someone was toasting, he did it with loyalty.
Master Tian thought, both Tianyou and Xiaoer want you to drink it, so I will too...
"Xue Wang, let's drink together and do it!"
He picked up his bottomed wine bowl and said it was an exaggeration to say he sipped it. The bowl was turned over so high that not a single drop of wine dripped down.
Mr. Xue Qi was so proud that he had another bowl.
Yan Laoer felt that it was almost done. If he drank more, he would pass out.
"Brother Xue, what is going on over there in the palace? You are related to the palace, tell us. The people under the princess... how are they doing that?" Yan Laoer finally figured it out and asked what he thought.
If you ask.
Yan Huaiwen glanced at him and ate the food in his bowl.
Mr. Tian was drowsy by the heat from the pot and closed his eyes.
Yan Yu gnawed on the cabbage leaves and raised her ears to eat the melon at close range.
…
"...Mr. Xue Qi said that the current Princess Zheng had a rich ancestor and was a founding figure. However, it is easy to start a business but difficult to maintain. If you have two or three prodigal sons, the family business will be ruined. If you don't have descendants who can support it, you will fall into ruin."
Failure, if not for this, the gift of marriage would not have fallen on the Zheng family.
Mom, think about it, Guanzhou is cold and poor, and the King of England has a deep love for the original princess. He has a son and a daughter in front of him. She can only manage her marriage as a career. She is worried about the flowers in the palace.
There are many ways to sell, but I chose the stupidest and worst way.
However, Mr. Xue Qi said that it was true that Princess Zheng loved money. She might not dare to collaborate with the enemy, and it was not in line with her identity and interests. It was probably the people under her command who had been deceived. Those Beirong soldiers were very cunning. Zheng
The princess is not smart, and the intelligence of her subordinates can only be imagined."
Yan Yu and Li Xuemei were lying on the kang, the quilt was warm, and the oil lamp was not lit. They were talking privately in the dark.
Li Xuemei frowned and said: "No matter how little money the Prince of England has, his life is still better than that of ordinary people. Many families don't have enough to eat.
She should not be amassing money like this behind her back. Leaving aside that note, she would not know anything about the food tax, the caisson in the river, and the princess's wedding boat would be moved... It was simply
There is no bottom line.”
Yan Yu remembered something and said: "Mother, do you know that when we were in Guiyuan, the crown prince gave himself a false name of Zheng Yan. Later, I was shocked when I found out that the princess's surname is Zheng. Generally speaking, even if she is a
I wouldn’t use my stepmother’s surname as a fake name, but when I told my master and the others, my uncle said that the prince is either an open-minded person or someone with a big heart. When I asked again, he refused to tell me...
Mother, what kind of person do you think the prince is?"
Li Xuemei thought about it carefully and said slowly: "I think that prince is quite smart. It's hard to say whether he is open-minded or keeps it in his heart. But in the matter of our village's military records, we can see that he is not an egoist, otherwise he would be in power.
From the perspective of the observer, there is no need for him to care about our gains and losses. It is a win-win situation now, which is rare.
On the other hand, that Mr. Xue Qi, you have to tell your father to be careful in the future, this man is a ghost, there is no one who tells the truth after drinking, I am afraid he is pretending to be drunk."
"Hahaha!" Yan Yu turned over, supported herself with her small arms, and looked in the direction of Li Xuemei in the darkness.
"Mom, you said the same thing as my uncle. My uncle is even more funny. Tell me..." She lowered her voice and imitated her uncle's speaking speed: "God bless me, please don't have a close relationship with him in the future."
"Haha, mother, does it sound like some parent told his or her children that they are not allowed to play with such and such children in the future, hahaha!"
Li Xuemei felt something in her heart: "Your uncle treats your father... really well."
So good that she always felt that she owed Heng'er and Daya, and wanted to be nicer and better to them.
"The prince's mother's family is the natal family of the late Princess Gong. She is a civil servant. Mr. Xue Qi's mother is the aunt of the Gong Princess. The Xue family he married into is also a family of scholars. All relatives are counted, and Mr. Xue Qi is the only one.
Military attache, if he didn't say it himself, he really wouldn't be able to tell at all. He doesn't look like a scholar at all. He looks more like a soldier.
But having said that, Mr. Xue Qi is so loyal. Princess Gong followed the prince to Guanzhou, and he followed all the way. If he couldn't study to become a soldier, he said that this sister had to be an official in Guanzhou.
The bigger, the better, and the closer, his brother-in-law can come to support my sister at any time..."
Li Xuemei didn't speak for a long time. After a while, she said: "Xiao Er, your father and your eldest brother are taking the exam in February next year, right? They are in Huju, right? Is your master setting the questions? He and your father are like this
Will you avoid the relationship?"
Yan Yu: "It's February. There are no academic officers in Huju. It should be the master who presides over the exam to avoid suspicion? No, hey, I can't say for sure. Mom, my father has made great progress in his studies recently. Those books that the master sewed for him
The writing is dense and dense, and if I only take the exam as a child student, I think I have a lot of hope."
"I also read that book, and I will sew more for him later." Li Xuemei thought for a while, and then said: "When you go out and see a pig head for sale, buy it back."
"Mom, do you want to eat pig head?" Yan Yu asked.
"No, let's serve it for one day first and then cook it for your father to eat." Li Xuemei said.
Either she believed this, or she thought it was nothing to pay her respects.
Yan Yu reacted, laughed so much that she rolled out of bed and rolled on the bed.
"Oh mother, this is so ridiculous to me. A pig's head can pray to God and nourish the brain. It's dual-purpose, hahahahaha!
Don’t worry, Mom, I’ll go to Fucheng tomorrow and I’ll definitely pick out a big pig’s head for my dad!
Ouch! Hiss..."
Li Xuemei heard something wrong and asked her, "What's wrong?"
