Started to get rich after exile

Ming Lanying couldn't figure out how Shan Zhao changed her mind towards He Bai, causing her to stare at them in her spare time.

The weather is getting cooler, and the must-have roasted sweet potatoes and roasted chestnuts for autumn and winter are now available.

The first time Shan Zhao roasted sweet potatoes was a novelty, and he couldn't put it down. Ming Lanying and the others were in charge of eating, and he was in charge of roasting.

When He Baiwo was gnawing on the roasted sweet potato at her feet, he was so stared at that the roasted sweet potato in his hand turned weird.

"Sister-in-law, if you have something to say, let's just say it. Why do you keep looking at me? Am I ugly? Or am I getting fat again? Impossible! I practice swords every day!"

In the past two days in winter and summer, the conditioning has recovered a bit. The deficiency syndrome during pregnancy can't be helped, but at least I won't feel nauseated when I eat.

Holding the warm roasted sweet potatoes, she looked at He Bai with a smile, "I'm not ugly or fat, but my sister-in-law has raised me to be white, tender and juicy, making me even more beautiful."

He Bai hummed reservedly, "It's okay!"

Shan Zhao was earnestly roasting sweet potatoes at the side, and sneered when he heard the words, "Eyes are eyes, nose is nose, you really look like a human being."

He Bai picked up the sweet potato skin at his feet and smashed it on his head, "No one will treat you as a dumb person if you can't speak. Roast your sweet potato! Make it soft and sticky without losing moisture, you baked it too dry!"

Shan Zhao cut it with dissatisfaction and threw the sweet potato skins on his head back in disgust, "You are the only one who wants more! Eat, eat, eat, and you will know how to eat day by day. If this continues, who will want you?"

He Bai snorted, "I'm not worried that no one wants me, my aunt is naturally beautiful, and there are many people queuing up to marry her!"

Shan Zhao slowly sat up straight, "Who said that! I didn't see any of you, young master! Who else would want someone like you? Let me hear it?"

"Many are people who want it, so you can take care of it! My sister-in-law also said that as long as I am willing, it is not impossible to recruit a few wives! Anyway, my aunt can afford it!"

Shan Zhao clicked his tongue lightly and muttered, "Then I can also..."

What he said was vague and no one heard him, but Ming Lanying always felt that there was something wrong with him.

Are you talking less or are you becoming more serious?
I don't know if it's her preconceived notion, but I always feel that Shan Zhao cares about whether He Bai is pursued or not.

Quietly whispering to Dongxia, "Do you think that Shan Zhao seems to care too much about Hebai? It seems to have crossed the line of brothers."

Dongxia tilted her head and looked at the two naive ghosts who were throwing sweet potato skins at each other, "No? Sister-in-law, are you thinking too much? Don't they have a marriage contract? It's okay to care about each other, right?"

Ming Lanying gritted her teeth and hissed, "Something's wrong, something's still wrong. They were good brothers before, and they agreed to go to the emperor to break off the engagement. Why do you feel that Shan Zhao's eyes when he looks at He Bai are not innocent now?"

"The eyes are not clear?" Dongxia stared at the two of them carefully with widened eyes. The two childish ghosts bickered and fought and broke their wrists as usual.

It's just that the smile on Shan Zhao's face has some unsuitable tenderness and accommodatingness, which she only saw when Ye Juelu saw Ming Lanying playing around.

The stage of arm wrestling between He Bai and Shan Zhao reached a fever pitch, while Ning Er and the wolf cub cheered for the two of them.

Dongxia suddenly fell silent, she saw that Shan Zhao, who had not changed his face at first, blushed suddenly and quickly spread to the ears because of He Bai's fierce approach, his eyes were still dodging a little, and his hands were also loose because of the looseness of his hands. He Bai.

Of course, the two bystanders could tell that the blush was not caused by excessive exertion, but because he was blushing when he encountered someone or something that made him nervous and excited.

It was rare for He Bai to win him once by wrestling his wrists, and he raised his hands excitedly to give Ning Er a high five and cheered.

Shan Zhao was still talking hard after losing a round, but the indulgent smile on his brows and eyes, except for a few people in the authorities who didn't know, the rest could see it.

Ming Lanying rubbed her chin, and softly ordered to Nanny Cai behind her, "We don't know what should have happened to them, Nanny Cai, go and find out."

Nanny Cai nodded in response, Dongxia looked at her dumbfounded, "Sister-in-law, aren't you afraid that the two of them will know that you care so much?"

"What are you afraid of? They won't know."

Aunt Cai asked Wang Yuying to inquire about the matter. After half-way through the inquiry, Wang Yuying realized that the Thousand Soldiers who had gone with He Bai and others to ransack homes and arrest people knew more about the matter, so she went to find her younger brother Wang Changying in the front yard to inquire.

Wang Changying was tactful and easy-going, and the thousand soldiers were still guarding Ku Yin in the prefect's office, so they soon found out after some inquiries.

Ming Lanying secretly took Dongxia to eat melons together. Together with Wang Yuying and Grandma Cai, the four masters and servants huddled in the corner and whispered secretly.

Wang Yuying cleared her throat and narrated the matter, "Reporting to the princess, they have never had any accidents in arresting people and ransacking their homes. The only time they were in danger was when Mr. Shan led people into the woods to arrest people. He was almost plotted against. Even if Miss Hebai came down from the sky and pulled him back to protect him, it may be that the beauty rescued the hero that time, which made Young Master Shan fall in love with Miss Hebai at first sight."

Ming Lanying frowned slightly, "Is this how love at first sight works?"

Wang Yuying scratched her head and said, "Forgive me, Princess, that's probably what I meant. Do you understand what I mean?"

Ming Lanying nodded, "I probably understand, but I always feel that things are not that simple."

Wang Yuying chuckled, and glanced at Nanny Cai, "It's really not that simple. The servant said, Madam Cai, don't beat the slave."

Aunt Cai stretched out her finger and nodded her, "Girl, there is nothing you dare not say in front of the princess!"

Dongxia smiled and urged: "They are all our own people, so talk quickly."

"According to what the 50 people saw with their own eyes at the time, the officials who were cornered were accompanied by guards with martial arts skills. When they had nowhere to go, they made a desperate sneak attack and counterattack, trying to catch them by surprise and kill a bloody road to escape!"

"It was dark in the woods at that time, and they only saw two sharp arrows flying out of the darkness. When they were about to hurt Mr. Shan, Miss Hebai swooped down to protect Mr. Shan, but her own arms and shoulders were hit by the sharp arrows. Scratch!"

Ming Lanying and Dongxia Qiqi gasped, "I didn't see any injuries on He Bai's body? If there were injuries, then she would pretend to be pitiful to me."

Dongxia thought of the ancestral medicine powder that Shan Zhao carried with him, "Maybe it's because of the skin trauma. Didn't Mr. Shan bring the medicine with him? Hebai is in good health, and he probably healed on the way back. I don't want you to worry."

Wang Yuying nodded and continued: "They were all stupid at the time. Only Miss Hebai reacted the fastest and saved Mr. Shan's life! It is said that when they were hurriedly helping the two of them up, someone who was close saw Mr. Shan's face turned red. "I don't know whether he was knocked down or angry, but with a strong momentum, one person and one sword went directly into the woods to arrest people."

What Wang Yuying said was full of affection, as if someone saw it with his own eyes at the scene, Dongxia let out a wow.

"I didn't expect such a thrilling thing to happen. He Bai and Mr. Shan have contributed a lot to arresting corrupt officials and ransacking their homes!" Ming Lanying's focus was a little strange, "You said that He Bai threw Shan Zhao down, and then Shan Zhao was killed. He blushed when he helped him up? He blushed like a bubble teapot? How did Hebai knock him down? "

"Hey hey..." Wang Yuying moved towards Ming Lanying, "This is the point, they didn't realize that they would attack from the other side, but the reason they were all stupid was because when Miss Hebai threw herself down, Mr. Shan's face It just happened to be buried in Miss Hebai's arms... But the situation was urgent at that time, they just didn't realize it, and didn't think much about it! Miss Hebai probably didn't think much about it either! How can there be so much effort to save lives on the battlefield!"

Ming Lanying's eyes widened in shock, "Could it be because of this...Shan Zhao wants to be responsible for He Bai?"

"Yes, that's right, can't you?"

Ming Lanying replied subconsciously: "It's not impossible, it's just that he may be too sentimental about it——"

As soon as Ming Lanying raised her head, she met the puzzled eyes of the other three, "Hey? Who was talking just now?"

The four of them raised their heads together and saw Shan Zhao squatting expressionlessly on a tree branch next to them, less than three feet away from them.

There was no smile on the cheerful and smiling face, only a serious and serious face remained, which was a little differently handsome.

Four masters and servants: "..."

It's broken, and one of the protagonists overheard gossip about people behind their backs.

Ming Lanying cleared her throat without changing her expression, "It's Shan Zhao, how could you squat here and eavesdrop on us girls, it's so rude!"

Shan Zhao jumped down neatly, and bowed to Ming Lanying, "It's time to feed the cubs, go over the wall and walk quickly, passing by and saw the princess and sister-in-law sneaking here, I overheard a few words , please forgive me, sister-in-law of the princess."

Ming Lanying waved her hand awkwardly, "Forget it, it's a big deal, why don't you go and do it first?"

Shan Zhao pursed his lips lightly, and there was no smile on the cheerful young man's face. He could only be cautious, "Excuse me, the princess, sister-in-law, what do you mean when you said I was too passionate? Can't I be responsible for He Bai?"

Ming Lanying scratched her head, didn't know what to say, so she had to look at Dong Xia beside her, who sighed helplessly.

"It's not that you can't do it, but... Hebai has a carefree temper, so he might not think so much, and when he gets along with you, he just treats you as a brother and sister of the opposite sex. You have to be responsible to her because of this matter, It may be unexpected to her, and it is a little difficult to accept."

After all, Hebai has never thought about getting married or having a partner in this life. She is used to being carefree.

"But I...I touched her..."

No matter what Shan Zhao said, he was just a pure young man, except for He Bai, he hadn't even touched a girl's hand for so many years.

The last time she saved his life, his face was completely buried in her arms. The light fragrance that filled his nose still made him blush when he thought about it.

The four masters and servants watched helplessly as his slightly green face gradually turned red, and his peach blossom eyes were clouded with mist, pure and shy.

Ming Lanying looked at him speechlessly, "Okay, okay, let's just be curious, whether He Bai can be enlightened depends on your own ability, we don't object, and we can't help."

Shan Zhao grinned, and gave them a look with his big white teeth. He smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth. He cupped his fists and bowed to Ming Lanying, "Thank you, sister-in-law, concubine!"

Shan Zhao was still in a hurry to feed the cubs in the Animal Garden, and quickly climbed over the wall and left.

Ming Lanying watched his high-spirited figure rise and fall, and clicked her tongue dissatisfied, "Why do you like to climb over the wall in the house so much?"

Dongxia smiled and shook her head, "Probably faster?"

Ming Lanying patted Wang Yuying and Nanny Cai on the shoulders, "Well done, add another big chicken leg tonight!"

Wang Yuying thanked her with joy, and Aunt Cai smiled helplessly and thanked her respectfully.

Having such an enlightened and lively master is much more comfortable than working in that man-eating palace.

As soon as Shan Zhao made up his mind to pursue He Bai and ask her to fulfill her engagement with him voluntarily, the Shan family at the border sent three letters home.

One belonged to his father, General Shan, one belonged to his two elder brothers, and the other belonged to his two sister-in-laws.

His father asked him to take good care of He Bai. His two brothers and sister-in-law heard that he was forced to marry He Bai, and the letter paper could not contain their gloating smiles.

His two brothers and sister-in-law also asked him to get along well with He Bai, not to cause trouble to the prince by fighting all day long, and not to waste such a good marriage opportunity, but Shan Zhao seemed to be gloating about his misfortune.

Shan Zhao gritted his teeth and wrote a reply, this marriage will disappoint his brothers and sisters-in-law, he must fulfill his father's wish and embrace the beauty!
He also added an extra tael of silver to send the urgent mail, eager to slap his brothers and sisters-in-law in the face.

Ming Lanying shook her head amusedly when she found out, she lowered her head and concentrated on writing replies to Tang Ning and the empress, and also wrote to Ye Juelv to share the happiness in the mansion.

What Ming Lanying didn't know was that the secret guards hidden in the palace would report to Ye Juelv who was far away on the front line in a special form and channel what she did and said every day.

Ming Lanying only occasionally heard Meng Huaisu mention the situation on the front line once or twice when he came to pick up Dongxia.

After the new emperor of the neighboring country ascended the throne, major changes began. First, the new and old officials in the court were exchanged, and then the localities increased taxation as appropriate, and finally wanted to take back all military power.

I heard that the first two have been implemented, and the last military power is stuck with General Tuoba who is fighting Ye Juelu.

General Tuoba holds one-third of the military power of the entire neighboring country. If he hands over the military power, it will be the end of the birds and the good bows, and the cunning rabbits will die and the lackeys will be cooked.

So when he moved in the new imperial capital, he predicted it first, pretended to go to war reluctantly, and deliberately lost a city, just trying to use Ye Juelu to put pressure on their borders, so that the court Dare not give up on him as a general at will.

He was stalling the war and stalling for time, but the new emperor's methods were even more cruel than her sister's, the third princess, and she directly had his wives, concubines, and heirs who had been left behind in the imperial city arrested and threatened.

When General Tuoba was in desperation, Ye Juelu's secret work finally got in front of him, and secretly slipped Ye Juelu's letter to General Tuoba.

Ye Juelu's intention is obvious, let him abandon the dark and turn to the bright, the new emperor of the neighboring country wants him to disarm and return to the field, but their Mingjun will treat him kindly and let him continue to shine.

General Tuoba didn't tell anyone about this matter. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble on the big ticket!
