The small garden in Yuan Lingheng's yard does not have many flowers and plants like the one in Yuan Miaoyi's. It is relatively simple, with only clumps of bamboo planted on both sides.
The moonlight is very strong tonight, shining on the bluestone slab in the courtyard like a clear pool of water. The swaying bamboos on the side are reflected in the courtyard, like waves rising from a pool.
Although it is late summer, there is a slight chill in the night breeze.
Yuan Miaoyi wore a lotus-colored blouse and an ivory-colored Baoxiang flower skirt today. Her chest was embroidered with red and white camellia myrobalans, which made the exposed skin on her chest even more dazzling. It has a jade-like luster.
When Dayan arrived in the Jingyuan Dynasty, the atmosphere became even more open, and so did women's clothing. In summer, some skin can be seen faintly under the dresses of ladies.
The shawl between Yuan Miaoyi's arms was trailing by her side. She and Xiao Yunyue were walking side by side. After hearing Xiao Yunyue's question, she smiled softly: "My mother gave me the nickname when I was born. Now only my brother knows it." called."
Xiao Yunyue turned his head and looked at Yuan Miaoyi. When she smiled, she would have a small pear dimple, which was particularly cute in his eyes. Under the bright moonlight tonight, her appearance seemed to be a little more beautiful.
"Bright moonlight, Mrs. Pei was very foresight when she gave you this nickname."
When Xiao Yunyue spoke, he naturally bent down and held up the silk for Yuan Miaoyi.
Aunt Cui, Bai Zhi and others were far behind, unable to hear what the two people in front were saying.
Bai Zhi, Du Ruo and others only recently found out about their girl Pingyang Hou. They were still a little in disbelief when they saw Xiao Yunyue holding the silk for Yuan Miaoyi.
And Granny Cui, who had long been accustomed to Xiao Yunyue's behavior in front of Yuan Miaoyi, motioned for them to be silent and not talk too much.
These days, after Xiao Yunyue visited the house more openly and openly, the relationship between the two became obviously closer.
Yuan Miaoyi naturally took the end of the silk scarf from Xiao Yunyue and continued talking to him, as if the two of them had spent a long time together.
Xiao Yunyue liked talking to Yuan Miaoyi like this very much, and he never shied away from mentioning court affairs in front of her. Even as the two of them chatted more and more, Xiao Yunyue could feel the compatibility between Yuan Miaoyi and himself.
Yuan Miaoyi is a conversation partner who never disappoints the mood, whether it is talking about political affairs or other topics.
For example, at this moment, the two of them started talking about Yuan Miaoyi's nickname and then talked about the recent turmoil in the frontier.
Although Yuan Miaoyi did not understand military affairs, she was proficient in political affairs and good at observing people's hearts. Therefore, her reasoning coincided with Xiao Yunyue's. Both of them speculated that the war would break out at the beginning of winter at the latest.
Moreover, Yuan Miaoyi guessed that there was not complete peace inside Tataer. When the grassland tribes fight for the throne, the level of conspiracy may be slightly lower than that of the Central Plains, but the level of bloodshed is far ahead.
The grasslands believe in strength and the strong, and only the strongest leader can be completely surrendered.
Among the Pei family properties left behind by Pei Linlang, the most valuable item is the shops throughout Dayan. In this type of industry, it is very convenient to collect information.
Before the border market was closed, she had a trading firm doing tea business in Jizhou, and often dealt with caravans traveling inside and outside the customs. After Yuan Miaoyi began to pay attention to the border affairs, many situations in the Tatar Department were also reported to her from this trading house.
The current leader of the Tata tribe, Balehong, has more than ten wives and concubines, and naturally there are more sons.
Balehong is already old, and his sons have grown up, and they are all eyeing the position of leader. Especially after this power became larger as the Tatar tribe commanded the grassland, the competition for the king's account naturally became more intense.
It's just that although Balehong has many sons, there are only two who are really the most competitive, namely the children born to Balehong's left and right family members.
Balehong did not have a concubine, and the two most favored women around him were from the Bai family and the Qiyan family respectively.
The love between the two in the king's tent was indistinguishable, so the Tata'er tribe called them the left and right Yan clan. The two women entered the king's tent at the same time and gave birth to children. Therefore, there has always been a tit-for-tat confrontation, and even the mother's family behind them has become almost a mortal enemy.
In the early years, the two of them only competed for Balehong's favor. After having children, they naturally fought for more things for the tribe and son behind them.
The two surnames behind them are both quite powerful, so they naturally long for their own bloodline to gain the supreme position on the grassland.
At the beginning, Balehong doted on the women of these two groups separately, just to sow discord, divide the two powerful groups in the Tatar tribe, and let them fight each other to ensure the stability of his throne.
The current situation is exactly what Balehong wants to see, but excessive internal fighting will consume the strength of the entire Tata tribe and easily give other tribes on the grassland an opportunity to take advantage of it. Balehong must control it in the middle. Scale of conflict.
Therefore, the Tatar tribe repeatedly provoked Dayan on the border. In fact, it was not only coveting the prosperous Central Plains, but also seeking to resolve internal conflicts.
First, a war is about to divert some of the tribe's attention from the struggle for power. The other one also wants to use this opportunity to select a suitable successor.
Although the current situation was almost single-handedly led by Barehong, he had reached his age after all, and it was indeed time to choose a successor.
The strength of the Bai family and the Qiyan family are about the same, and the abilities of Balelong and Balexuan don't seem to be any better at the moment. Then it would be better to look at the performance of both sides in this battle to determine who is more suitable to sit on the throne after Balehong.
After all, on the grassland, only the strong have the right to speak. Whoever shows sufficient strength and wisdom on the battlefield is qualified to lead this tribe.
Ba Liehong understands this truth, and so does the Bai family and Qiyan family.
Therefore, these days, the Tatar tribe has a strong fighting spirit. Both Balelon and Balexuan were gearing up, eager to establish meritorious service in this battle, so as to gain the recognition of their father, kill their competing brothers, and become the next king of Tatar.
"I heard that in the Tata'er tribe, men need to hunt a wolf when they reach adulthood and pull out its teeth as a gift of adulthood." Yuan Miaoyi looked at Xiao Yunyue with some curiosity: "Is this true?"
Xiao Yunyue nodded and said: "It's true. Not only the Tata tribe, but most tribes on the grassland have this ceremony. It symbolizes that he has grown from a child to a warrior and has been recognized by the Changsheng Heaven."
After saying that, Xiao Yunyue paused for a while, and then said: "When I was twelve years old, I also hunted a white wolf outside the pass."
