Chapter 1564 Retreat
Qingshu got up in the morning to go to the yard to do boxing. As soon as he got outside, he saw the yard covered with white ground, as if it was covered with a layer of silver. The leaves on the osmanthus tree were also covered with a layer of furry and shiny things. When the wind blew, the frosty flowers on the leaves fell to the ground rustling.
After stretching his waist, Qingshu smiled and said, "The weather has become so fast, and it's winter again."
Honggu said, "It's all frost now, and it won't take long to snow. Madam, don't hug the girl out in such weather."
"It's okay, just don't carry it out sooner or later."
Not long after she finished punching, Fu Ran brought her two children to have breakfast. When Fu Jingen was there, Fu Ran was not eating here.
After breakfast, Fu Ran said, "Qingshu, the weather has become colder. I will go back to see your master in the afternoon and come back tomorrow morning."
Qingshu nodded and asked, "How is your junior brother recently?"
"He was scared by what happened last time and didn't dare to go out recently. I advised him several times and he didn't listen. I hope he gets married now, and I don't have to worry about it if my wife takes care of me."
She is so old that she still has to worry about Fu Jingze's affairs, which is very tiring.
Qingshu smiled and said, "It'll be fine if you last more than a year."
Fu Ran said with a nod, "Qingshu, why has Miss Wu's wedding date not been settled yet? Could it be that the Empress Dowager interfered?"
She knew that Yun Yaoli liked Yi An, so she asked this question.
Qingshu didn't hide it from her and said, "Actually, the wedding date was chosen long ago but it was not announced to the public. Didn't the prince just die? It's not good to announce the wedding date to the public at this time."
Fu Ran shook her head and said, "I'm so old that I've forgotten this."
At noon, Yi An came over.
Qingshu saw her look relaxed and asked with a smile: "What good thing is so happy?"
"The Jin people retreated."
Qingshu couldn't help but stand up: "Have you withdrawn?"
Yi An nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, we have withdrawn. After the post-war affairs are arranged, my father will return to Beijing."
She hasn't seen her father for several years.
Qingshu hurriedly asked, "Did you tell my grandmother and godmother this good news?"
"I said it, as soon as I got the news, I went home, and my grandmother cried at that time."
Speaking of this, Yi An's voice became soft: "Grandma has been feeling very uncomfortable for a while, but she has been holding on. It's okay to cry now, otherwise I'm really worried that she will be suffocated."
Qingshu nodded and said, "Is the casualties serious?"
"It's very big. There were 150,000 casualties in this battle, but the Jin people were not much better. Actually, I don't understand. We have natural dangers and have no chance of winning. Why do we have to start this war?"
Qingshu was silent and said, "This time we have made sufficient preparations, otherwise Tongcheng might not be able to defend with the attack like the Jin people."
If it hadn't been prepared early, Tongcheng was captured by the Jin people, Liaodong would have corpses everywhere again.
After pausing, Qingshu said again: "There is another point that the grassland has been in good weather and rain in recent years. Their population has increased rapidly, but there is not enough food to eat. If you can't grab enough food, you will starve to death."
"If you don't fight, you will starve to death. You can still get food to survive when you fight. Well, even if you can't grab food, you can consume some of your people."
Yi Anmu looked at Qingshu blankly.
Qingshu smiled and said, "What are you doing when you look at me like this?"
Yi An asked in shock: "Did you think of these conclusions yourself, or did Fu Jingen tell you?"
Qingshu smiled and said, "Of course I think it myself, it's impossible to ask him everything."
At this moment, Honggu said outside: "Madam, the county lord is here to deliver things."
She has lived in Jinling for so long, and she can't tell what good things are there.
Qingshu smiled and said, "Where is your letter? Come and show it to me."
Seeing the letter from Hong Gu, Yi An laughed: "What did you write? This letter is as thick as a brick?"
After saying that, he moved to Qingshu and watched with her.
In the letter, Feng Xiaoyu told her everything that happened along the way. First, Brother Yan got a fever halfway through the way. Fortunately, they invited a doctor to follow him, and Brother Yan took the medicine and subsided his fever.
Finally arrived in Changzhou, I found that there was a young and beautiful woman at home.
Feng Xiaoyu was almost angry at that time. She was exhausted and took two children in the capital. Guan Zhenqi actually carried her with her romantic and happy back. The couple had a big fight, and Feng Xiaoyu almost brought her back with her two children.
After reading the letter, Yi An said, "She didn't know anything when she first arrived in Changzhou. Just by the girl living at home, she judged that she was interested in Guan Zhenqi. This is too arbitrary."
Qingshu smiled and said, "We all know who Xiaoyu is. She is not the kind of suspicious person. If there is no basis for it, she will not quarrel with Guan Zhen about this matter. Also, as a wife, she is the most sensitive to such things and can turn into a detective in minutes."
Guan Zhenqi is not only a handsome talent, but also a sixth-rank official with a bright future. It is normal for a woman to fall in love with him.
Although Yi An didn't understand how Feng Xiaoyu could turn into a detective, she believed in Qingshu's judgment and said disdainfully: "It's a good thing that I used to swear that I would not take a concubine in this life. It's only been a long time since I separated that the mansion wanted to add someone. So, if a man said he could trust a sow and climb a tree."
Qingshu said: "You can't say that. Men are generally careless. In addition, Jiangnan has been busy recently and has no concerns about family matters."
Yi An asked with a smile: "If Fu Jingen had also left a beauty at home, would you think too much?"
"I'm not a saint, if I were in a situation like Xiaoyu, I would have thought too much. But Jingen cares about my feelings very much, and this kind of thing would not happen."
Guan Zhenqi did this inappropriately. His wife and children were not around to avoid suspicion, but he even let the other party live at home. It is difficult to think about whether they are under the melon field or not.
Yi An said: "So Guan Zhenqi is unreliable. If you really care about Xiaoyu, you should be like Fu Jingen. Hmm, forget it, I won't talk about this."
Qingshushed her mind and changed the topic: "The spices made before sold very well, but the medicinal materials are limited and cannot be produced in large quantities for the time being."
"If the medicinal materials are not enough, you can buy them in other places. Anyway, we need a lot of them."
Qingshu shook his head and said, "It's not just the medicinal materials, but the weather is not good now. The medicinal materials purchased must be dried, so that the ground powder can be stored for a long time. On the contrary, the spice will be ineffective when it becomes wet."
Yi An smiled and shook his head and said, "So it's so troublesome. I thought I could just buy it to grind it into powder!"
"This is just a preliminary process, and there are many things to pay attention to later."
