Chapter 1169 Niece

Chang'an City became more and more lively.

On the one hand, it is due to the gradual prosperity of the people's livelihood and the economy in recent years, and the rapid growth of the population; on the other hand, it was rumored that the Yuan army broke through Tongguan a while ago, and many people from the surrounding areas flocked into the city.

In mid-April, the emperor returned with the might of a great victory, and some of the people who had taken refuge moved back outside the city with peace of mind, and the congestion in the city was no longer so great.

But the order of life has not yet been fully restored.

Zhao Jin also nestled in her small courtyard and hasn't gone out for a long time.

After she arrived in Chang'an, Yan Rong was afraid that she would be bored, so he bought her a property. It was a big tile house next to the Drum Tower. There were stage, juggling, cuju and other entertainment activities. Chang'an City was most similar to Lin'an. The place.

Before the New Year's Eve, Zhao Jin planned to hold a huge polo match, and the preparations were ready, but unexpectedly, it was suspended due to the war.

If it were in the past, she would definitely get angry, but this time she only sighed "Life is so difficult", and didn't say anything else.

She arranged for people to take in the people who had taken refuge in the city in Dawazi. After that, except for the occasional meeting with Yan Rong, she lived reclusively in the house at other times.

And Zhao Jin is no longer a simple master and servant, but a kind of intimacy that talks about everything.

"I don't want to hear it." Zhao Jin closed his eyes and lay down on his own, and said in a low voice, "I think it's Xiaotu. It would be nice if I brought him here too."

~~
The next day, the sun shone into the house through the paper window, slowly driving away the chill in the morning and making the house warm.

It even seemed noisy.

Zhao Jin was silent for a while, then shook his head.

"You still ask me." Yan Rong opened his mouth and blamed: "I can't afford to sleep until this time, is it a pig?"

"Where did you hear so many beautiful words today?"

Teahouses and restaurants have more details about the battle every day, presumably the people of Chang'an can still celebrate in the victorious atmosphere for a long time.

"The drama can still be rehearsed. Before the expedition, we will sing a big drama for a few days for the soldiers."

"It's arranged. Am I not reading the playbook?"

"But you don't think you lived too cleanly in Tiantai Mountain before."

Wang Cui said: "That is also fighting outside, and the Yuan army will not be allowed to fight in Guanzhong again."

"Oh, it sounds like your waist is not thin."

"Because it is indeed too powerful, such a big victory, I am afraid that it has never been seen in a hundred years!"

"If you also want to set fire, it's not that I haven't selected your husband's house before. But you're not satisfied with the one I've tried so hard to pick out, aren't you?"

"You know the war is over?"

"It really happened on the road."

Zhao Jin finally put down the "Hui Zhen Ji" in his hand, looked at Wang Cui with some teasing intentions, and asked: "Seeing you like this, how long have you been boasting?"

"I don't know if my uncle is taking good care of me or not."

"You are so well-informed? You already knew what happened this morning?" Zhao Jin's smile became more teasing.

One day, when Wang Cui came back from outside, Zhao Jin was lying on a rattan chair under the shade of a tree.

"What are you talking nonsense about?" Yan Rong said with a blush on his face, "Get up and tidy up."

"Is that girl going to Cuju?"

After a long time, Zhao Jin woke up, saw Yan Rong in a haze, rubbed his eyes, but continued to lie down, showing no intention of getting up to greet her.

"I heard about Brother Xiaoyou's pursuit of Kublai Khan, tell the girl."

Zhao Jin asked with a smile, "Which way?"

"Yes, it's hard work for you to be well-clothed and well-fed."

"That's right." Zhao Jin picked up the cakes on the table and ate them, and said, "Tell me, what stories did you hear today."

Wang Cui's reaction was considered calm, but every time this was mentioned, her eyes were full of joy.

Zhao Jin gave Yan Rong a white look, and said, "Only state officials are allowed to set fires, but ordinary people are not allowed to light lamps?"

"Why are you dressed so beautifully today? Even seeing it makes my heart move." Zhao Jin stretched out his hand to wrap around Yan Rong's waist, and said, "Come on, beauty, lie down with me for a while."

"It's enough to see."

"Understood, I just asked you a question." Yan Rong said, "Okay, I'm fine."

"Didn't he still want to go to the Northern Expedition?" Zhao Jin flipped a page of the book and said casually: "The Northern Expedition still has to fight, and it's not time to stop."

Birds chirped outside, and conversations came from outside the door.

"Speaking of business, Your Majesty intends to send envoys to Zhao Song. At the same time, at Jiangling, Wang Yinglin wrote several times to ask about your recent situation. Therefore, I'm here to ask you, are you willing to lead this time with Zhao Song in the name of Princess Zhao?" Contact?"

"It's amazing, so he is busy with military affairs, so he can still see you?"

This was also the most gratifying thing for Yan Rong, she didn't wake her up, just sat there and let her sleep late.

Zhao Jin was soundly asleep.

"If I don't inquire, I'll have to hear you praise your man again, it's annoying."

"I eat and lie down all day like you, do I lie down and eat? You don't know how hard it is for me to do morning exercises with His Majesty."

In the hut, the master and the servant stood by the stove, ate small dishes, drank half a pot of sweet-scented osmanthus wine and chatted until late at night.

After arriving in Chang'an, unlike the previous Lin'an palace city where there were many rules of high and low, her temperament became much more cheerful and changed quite a lot.

Wang Cuisui happily sat down on the side.

"It's nothing. The Northern Expedition is coming soon, and I don't want to hold back the southeast side. But it's a trivial matter, just to ask you a question."

"Go away."

Zhao Jin finally opened his eyes and looked at Yan Rong, feeling that she was extremely beautiful today.

"Of course it can be guaranteed. This time, we won an unprecedented victory. One hundred thousand riders galloped across the desert, expelled the Mongolian captives in the north of Saibei, and killed the captives in the Helan Mountains. The sound shook Huayi and made great achievements. The next step is to recover The Central Plains unites the whole world. How can we let foreign captives enter the country like before?"

Wang Cui seemed to have something on her mind, but she didn't say it out. She changed the subject and said, "Girl, I mean you stay at home every day, aren't you bored?"

"I do not want to."

"Not boring."

"Can you guarantee this?"

"I can't move anymore." Zhao Jin looked more and more lazy, and said casually: "I'm old, old lady."

"Brother Xiaoyou said it." Wang Cui lowered her head and sorted out the case.

"I see that you are only reading some unpopular miscellaneous books."

"Then tell me, what do you want?"

Zhao Jin said again: "I'm living a pretty good life now, because I forgot that I am the princess of the Zhao family. But if you want me to be the princess in name again... I will still be unhappy."

"I don't remember."

Yan Rongdao: "People in this troubled world can't survive, who can care about your cat?"

Yan Rong gave Zhao Jin a white look, put on a small bijar for her, and reached out to touch her waist.

"The troubled times are coming to an end, Taixia will be calmed down, and I will live a peaceful life in the future."

"I'm getting old, haven't I eaten pork or seen a pig run away?" Zhao Jin yawned again.

Afterwards, the door was gently pushed open, and a pair of beautiful embroidered shoes stepped over the threshold.

"Your Majesty led the army back and personally rescued Tongguan. How could Boyan not retreat? I heard that His Majesty returned to Chang'an from Tongguan a few days ago."

The skin on her face was still as fair and tender as when she was a child, and could be broken by blowing, but her cheeks were much rounder.

"Tsk tsk, hate me." Zhao Jin finally got up, looked at Yan Rong carefully, and said in a slightly displeased tone: "Look at you, how can Li Xia accompany you when he's so busy?"

"How old are you? The girl still looks like she was sixteen or seventeen years old."

"Now His Majesty is ready to take advantage of the victory to pursue and lead the Northern Expedition. By the way, His Majesty also wrote a poem this morning to express his determination for the Northern Expedition, 'It is better to chase the poor with the remaining courage, not to be famous and learn from the overlord'. Really, the world will soon It's settled, everyone enjoys a peaceful life. Girls don't need to be nestled like this anymore, you can go out and have a look, it's very lively."

"what happened?"

She was holding a book and reading, with a thin blanket covering her body, only her head was exposed, like a lazy cat.

"You know it? People who don't go out and stay in their homes all day long."

"I came back with His Majesty a few days ago, and fought a small victory in Tongguan. Come back to rest and prepare for the Northern Expedition."

"Are you satisfied? Either it's dull, or it's plain-looking. Seriously, you might as well be more concerned about my marriage than Ding Daquan."

"The sun is setting, the house is warm, let's go in and talk."

Yan Rong closed the door, walked around the screen, took a look at the side of the bed, shook his head, and sat down on the side of the bed.

Yan Rong had no choice but to dress her up with her own hands, and said in her mouth: "If it weren't for your rosy complexion, I would still treat you as a patient. How can a playful person like that in the past be so lazy recently? Is there no more ball games?"

She was talking about the lion cat she raised, which she threw to Jia Sidao when she left.

Wang Cui went over and took a look at the book cover, and saw that it was a copy of "Hui Zhen Ji".

"Huh? Why are you here again?"

The house is not far from the imperial palace, a small courtyard, a rare and secluded place in Chang'an City.

"The girl has been idle for several months." Wang Cui was afraid that Zhao Jin would be too bored all day long, so she asked, "Now that the war is over, do we still have the polo match?"

"I live a life as lazy as a pig, and have such a thin waist. It's good that I haven't had children."

"Well."

"It was my uncle holding me, so I always wanted to leave Tongbai Palace to play. Now no one is holding me, I can do whatever I want."

"I just met on the road."

Few adults can sleep as soundly as she does, which shows that she has finally come out of the nightmare of ruining the country and family.

"Oh? Your brother Xiaoyou has returned to Guanzhong?"

Sure enough, there are some stories about the past and the moon, otherwise it would still be a failure of learning.

The good news of the great victory has been spread for a while, and people have calmed down a lot from the excitement and madness, but the joy has not passed.

"You got up, I have something to tell you."

Wang Cui nodded vigorously.

"I heard it from the teahouse outside."

"I'm not a child anymore, so I can't play all day long. Isn't the polo game intended to promote the style of horseback riding and archery in Guanzhong? Now that the Northern Expedition is being prepared, even those idle children who can ride horses have been recruited. Ordinary people go to the army. An officer, even if you move the luggage, you will get a share of the salary, so there is no need for a joking person like me."

"Will Li Xia attack Jiangnan again?"

"It's best to start the Northern Expedition first, and then sue Jiangnan after recovering the Central Plains." Yan Rong said, "If Jiangnan is stable and honest."

"Then... then I can persuade uncle." Zhao Jin said.

Apart from Jia Sidao, there is nothing else in Jiangnan that she misses.
