Chapter Forty-Nine The Strange Letter

Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest.

The heavy snow made the whole northern country look simple.

The newly completed Shuozhou New City is wearing a thick white dress in the plain world.

Taking his group back to Shuozhou and entering the rebuilt general's mansion, Zhu Li ushered in a major event that she had to face in her life.

Men get married when they get married when they get married when they get married. Since ancient times, almost everyone has to face this.

What's more, in the late Tang Dynasty, there were few things like breaking up love. Many young people didn't know that the person they would accompany them for the rest of their lives had already arranged the arrangements for the person they would accompany them for a long time.

After all, it was an era that paid attention to "the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers."

The person Zhu Li was going to marry was naturally Yuchi Jin, and Zhu Li was naturally happy to get married.

Since Guo Qizuo offered the Heba strategy, hundreds of thousands of Khitan prisoners have begun to work on the vast northern grasslands. In order to gain freedom as soon as possible, these people work very hard without any obstacles.

Their relatives were also moved to Sanggan; they were all broken up by Wu Dao, and they lived in the territory of the twenty-four prefectures mixed with Hu and Han.

The Khitans, whose tribe had millions, experienced internal turmoil and sudden attacks by the Heshuo Army. Later, Zhu Li sent Zhuya, Geng Yan, Yue Yun and others to sweep around. At least 200,000 to 300,000 Khitans died in the war.

In addition, hundreds of thousands of strong men became prisoners, and nearly one million elderly, weak, women and children moved to Sanggan. The power of the Khitan shrank greatly and was inevitable.

Since this era came to Zhu Li's heart, the most threatening Khitans in northern Xinjiang have no longer caused trouble; he can also take the opportunity to take a break, hug his most cherished young wife, and give birth to the next generation day and night, which is obviously a good choice.

The fate of the Khitans was undoubtedly frightened by other weak ethnic groups around them. The Tatars took the lead in expressing their surrender to Heshuo and presented tens of thousands of war horses.

Just as Zhu Li had not yet made a statement, Xi Xi's envoy also rushed to Shuozhou, not only brought a large number of cattle, sheep, and horses, but also took the initiative to demand that he depended on Heshuo.

In response, Zhu Li accepted Guo Chongtao's suggestion and took out a large number of strong men to join the army to show his favor. He also placed the families of these strong men outside the Great Wall, in the newly built simple stone city for control.

Not only that, he also hired a group of experienced farmers from the country with high salaries to teach these herdsmen to farm.

Obviously, Zhu Li wanted to gradually Chineseize these foreign herdsmen; when they developed the habit of farming and ate the delicious Central Plains food with a wide variety of flavors, and then let them return to the grassland to live, will they still get used to it?

Zhu Li was not ruthless at all for those foreign races who were waiting and watching or hostile, such as the Uighurs and the Marines. She directly ordered Geng Yan to lead his troops to attack the wolf guards to assist, and fight to fight until they could not take care of themselves.

We Han people have always been trying to attack our friends; but we have never lacked ruthlessness and viciousness towards our enemies.

In general, the situation in northern Xinjiang is very good.

In the territory, although the people in Heshuo are not rich, there are still many wealthy families. Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, even Hedong and Jingxiang, which are known as the richest, are not as leisurely as the people in Heshuo.

There is no doubt that Heshuo has become a place of auspiciousness that is famous all over the world in this era.

Even though the Tartars have not yet been completed, their family and country can still be safe; how can the common people not be able to eat enough for their farming?

The common people who settled here would not have to worry about having no food as long as they work hard. Even if the world was chaotic, they would have nothing to do with them with countless guards in Heshuo.

In the peaceful and beautiful atmosphere inside Heshuo, snow will only bring unlimited fun to the people who have already had enough food and clothing.

Bathed in the white snow, Yuchi Jin, who was carrying Qian Muran Wenlan and Sunshine, walked towards home with excitement, and hummed a small song involuntarily.

Famous flowers are filled with joy, and the king often sees them with a smile. Explain the endless hatred of the spring breeze, and leaning against the railings in the north of the agarwood pavilion...

This is the "Qingping Dict" published by the great poet Li Bai, which was written by Li Bai under the order. It naturally depicts the lingering love between Yang Yuhuan and Li Longji.

Since ancient times, famous flowers are like beauties, and Yang Yuhuan and the red and fire-like peonies complement each other; the beautiful scenery of famous flowers and beauties make Li Longji look happy.

Yuchi Jin hummed this song invisibly because she also wanted to join hands with the person in her heart to watch it together.

She's going to get married,

After waiting for a long time, she finally got the approval of that person. How could she be unhappy?

Qian Muran, who was following her, seemed a little melancholy while being happy; her eyes looking at Yuchi Jin were envious, and occasionally a different kind of complexity flashed through her eyes.

She once designed a trick to harm Zhu Ning'er in the Lu Nabo bowl, but it was not exposed; because the two people who knew the inside story, Yanmujin and Gao Bodhisattva, were both dead.

Bodhisattva Gao died at Zhu Li's hands, while Yanmujin died in the war.

Speaking of which, she also wants to thank the brothers Zhu Li and Zhu Ya for designing to harm Zhu Ning'er. As a result, two insiders, one was killed by Zhu Ning'er's eldest brother Zhu Li, and the other was shot to death by the guards under Zhu Ya's command.

In this way, she was invisibly escaped a disaster; perhaps it was her feat of self-sacrificing herself to touch God, and in the dark, she helped her erase the traces left by her mistakes.

It is precisely because of her two feats of self-sacrificing herself as others that no one in Heshuo had doubts about her.

The only two people who followed her and had the chance to notice clues were Wen Lan and Yang Guang, these two ignorant little girls.

Just today, Zhu Li personally entrusts her to be the commander of the Luan Guard, responsible for forming a female guard to protect the safety of the general's mansion.

Qian Muran naturally developed a different feeling about the Zhu brothers who helped her by chance and saved her.

Unfortunately, when Zhu Li had Yuchi Jin, the relationship between the two could not be broken even with thousands of troops; while the second general Zhu Ya was a strange man who was as ignorant as a child.

When a girl gets married, most of them will find a man who loves her. Who would be happy to bring a little kid to play with?

Therefore, among the two Zhu brothers, her heart undoubtedly turned to the general Zhu Li.

It is precisely because she developed this complex feeling of kindness and a little bit of admiration for Zhu Li that made her feel aggrieved about Yuchi Jin.

Since returning to Shuozhou, the elders have started to arrange the marriage between Zhu Li and Yuchi Jin.

Seeing the upcoming wedding, the whole Shuozhou was filled with joy, Qian Muran seemed even more anxious and melancholy.

The two involved did not notice her little thoughts.

For Zhu Li, he came from later generations, brought knowledge from later generations, and also brought some taboos from later generations.

In later generations, there was a legend among young people.

Most of the lovers who sang "Prague Square" together and parted ways after walking; while most of the couples who have been in love for more than three years cannot enter the palace of marriage.

He loves Yuchi, and loves without reason, is very evil, but he is willing to give everything for the other party.

He doesn't want to lose a wife like Yuchi Jin, so he has to give the other party an explanation; without any explanation, it can make the other party feel more at ease than giving the other party a home.

It is precisely because of this that Yuchi Jin was very happy and excited that he had never felt before, and Qian Muran naturally felt very melancholy.

There were four people in the group, and the two in front were in different moods and were still immersed in their own emotions.

As for Wenlan and Sunshine who were behind, they were chattering and not paying attention to the emotional changes of the two people in front of them at all. It was so contradictory and abrupt.

"Senior sister, the general has appointed us as deputy commander and fifth-rank rank. If we exchange money, I wonder how much gold can we exchange for?" Sunshine's face was full of longing for poor people to become rich. Perhaps, her mind was full of golden gold ingots.

Wenlan was in a different situation at this moment. Her eyebrows were frowned and her face was sad. When she heard Yangguang ask her, she responded weakly: "Junior sister, don't think about this."

"Uh, what's wrong?" Yang Guang looked surprised. She thought that her senior sister should love gold more than her, so why did she change her temper today.

However, this doubt had not lasted for long, and Wenlan explained weakly: "I asked General Yue Yun when he was appointed as an official."

"I asked him how much can the deputy commander of the fifth rank can exchange for, but people said that this cannot be sold at all."

"Even if it is sold, no one dares to buy it; I wondered, the fifth-rank official has no market, so whether he still wants to live!" Wenlan looked depressed, as if he had finally found the money, but suddenly found it was a fake banknote.

"Ah, I can't sell it, how can I do this!" When my senior sister said that the fifth-rank deputy commander could not exchange money, Sunshine became anxious. "We ran to Beijing all the way, and there would be hard work if we had no credit. Just give us something that could only be heard and could not be sold.

What’s the point? General Pig Head is too bullying!”

......

The noise behind him made Yuchi Jin and Qian Muran turn their heads at the same time. When they heard that the two of them were going to sell their official positions, Yuchi Jin and Qian Muran almost laughed.

"Okay, two little money fans, do I owe you food or you less drink, and I actually want to sell the official position?" Yuchi Jin gave the two little girls a angrily blank, and the two little girls shrank their heads and no longer dared to scream.

"Since you like gold so much, then that's it. When you return to the mansion, I will reward you with two taels of gold. How about it?" Yuchi Jin said proudly.

Two taels of gold are already a lot, which is about 200,000 to 300,000 yuan in later generations. This is also the joy of Yuchi Jin, which is considered to be the joy money paid to the two little girls in advance.

Such a bold promise, but in Wenlan and Sunshine's ears, they were not happy at all.

Sun Guang raised his mouth and said, "Just two taels. Last time I went back to Li Keyong, I had to take ten taels. Madam, can't you be more generous?"

"Yes, madam, we have worked hard without credit. At least we can make up an integer, is there five liang?" Wenlan, who was on the side, quickly helped.

The two of them bargained immediately made Yuchi Jin frown. Do these two little girls know how much things can be bought for two taels of gold?

Even if the wealthy family took the money, it would be enough for the family to marry a wife for their son. The two girls were still too little and even talked about Li Keyong, which made Yuchi Jin squint his eyes instantly.

"What, I think it's too little?"

"Uh!" Looking at Yuchi Jin's sudden bad eyes, the two little girls immediately came back to their senses, quickly shook their heads like a hand drum, and said in unison: "No, no, no, no, no; two taels are enough."

Although he said this, the loss hidden in his eyes cannot deceive people; obviously, the two little girls always felt that two taels of gold were too little.

But how could they hide their little tricks from Yuchi Jin's eyes? She only heard her snorting coldly: "I remember you still owe me 500 gold in medicine. If you think it's too little, I won't reward you for the time being, keep it to pay off the debt."

"Uh, madam, don't!" When he heard that Yuchi Jin was about to stop giving him rewards, Wen Lan and Sun Guang immediately became anxious like Daddy Rabbit.

"As the saying goes, people don't have to worry about debt, they don't bother to scratch their lice, they are too lazy to scratch their lice, and they are so much five hundred gold, even if they pay back, they will be a drop in the bucket. My wife should send it to us." Wenlan hurried forward, grabbed Yuchi Jin's arm, and kept shaking.

"Yes, with my wife's grandeur, how could I care about this little money? Besides, my wife is about to marry a pig head. Uh, no, it's the general. The general has a great family and a great cause. Will my wife still have to spend money then? Why would my senior sister help you spend it?" Sunshine followed suit and stepped forward to grab Yuchi Jin's other arm and shook it.

If these two little girls really defeated, Yuchi Jin was a little helpless; if there were too many debts, people would not worry about lice and too lazy to scratch the Zhu Li family's great business. This is all when asking for rewards from others. Should they say?

Just as a few people were talking and making trouble, the group of four returned to Yuchi's mansion and Douya, the little girl who came to open the door for Yuchi Jin, said as soon as she saw her wife returning, "Madam, you're back."

"Well, what's wrong?" Yuchi Jin pulled his arms out of Wenlan and Yangguang's arms, hugged them in his arms, and looked at Douya with a puzzled look on his face.

Facing Yuchi Jin's gaze, Douya did not dare to neglect and hurriedly said, "Madam, someone has sent a letter saying that it is to be handed over to you; if you don't come back, the old lady will take apart and take a look."

It turns out that this is the matter, what else should Yuchi Jin take for it?

Since they came to the north, their Yuchi family has no other relatives and friends except Li Keju. At this time, the person who could write to her was probably her brother Yuchi.

If it is a letter from Yuchi, the old lady will read it, which is common sense. What's the point of making a fuss?

Douya has been following Yuchi Jin since she was a child. When she saw his wife's disregarded expression, she immediately knew what the other party was thinking. She hurriedly said, "Does your wife think that the letter was sent by Mr. Yuchi?"

"Isn't it?" Yuchi Jin gave the other party a blank look.

"Hmph, madam." Douya dragged his long nasal voice and looked at Yuchi Jin angrily, "How could the maid not recognize the handwriting of the Langjun? Judging from the handwriting, the signature of the letter was definitely not written by the Langjun. The lady will know it after going back to the house and taking a look."
